On Thursday night, Braga take on AC Milan at the San Siro. Gennaro Gattuso will be at the heart of the Rossoneri’s midfield for the Group E UEFA Cup match, having recently recovered from injury. The Italian bashed his head and dislocated all five fingers of his left hand during an incident in a training match. He also required an operation to repair a broken metacarpus. Who caused this terrible physical damage? Watch the video to find out.
So there you go. Running backwards into a dugout is not good for your health. More football falls onto concrete can be seen here.
Martin Atkinson take note. Portsmouth manager Harry Redknapp confronts the culprits when his TV interview is interrupted. This clip contains strong language and a funny one-liner at the end.
RCD Espanyol added a new weapon to their arsenal this morning: Walter Pandiani, signed from Birmingham City for a fee reported to be in the region of £1m.
The Uruguayan striker is a proven goalscorer in La Liga, but that’s not all his new club will be getting for their money. This video clip shows Pandiani in happier times at Deportivo La Coruña . Note his calm demeanour, meticulous approach to training, and obvious ability to bond with his team mates, particularly Alberto Luque.
Birmingham City wished their departing player well; someone ought to spare a thought for his new colleagues.
Update!
The copyright fairies have removed the video clip of Pandiani’s bad behaviour. Does anyone out there have a replacement?
