Rangnick's Press Conference - Brentford
- Thread starter Bastian
- Start date
Edi an option!
isn't this the Norwich post match press?
Match might not even be happening
It was immediately after the Norwich game but this part of the press conference was embargoed until this afternoon.
I see, makes sense.
I love his answer to the last question. Bold and clear - If the player wants something - he comes and he informs us, I couldn't care less about his agent.
Ole wouldn't have been that straight and he would've left the debate open at 50/50, with praise towards the player inserted in his answer. Something like "We'll deal with it behind closed doors and I won't comment on the situation, because Martial is a top bloke, who always conducts himself well in training".
While Ralf's comments ringed a "the player is not bigger than the club" and "if you want something - you come to me".

What's with this embargo deal? It's only news.
I really dont get this cloak and dagger stuff
Agreed. Privately I'd be surprised if Ralf thought much about Martial, so he's able to give an answer that's both factually true and catnip for us fans; 'agents are dickheads, I don't speak to them, players need to speak to me or the club directly'.
"Why aren't they worrying about your intensity?" What a troll question.
