Who is the brainless imbecile who wrote that article? Bastian would play on the wing, not compete for Marchisio's possession. Do knowledgeable people ever edit this stuff or just let it fly?
Anybody who even reads Goal Dot Com should think twice about it. Learn enough Italian to at least understand portions of articles... it's not that hard.
And that last sentence of Marchisio is something every player would say to display some faith in the team and teammates. Doesnt mean zip. If he had elaborated and spoke frankly, would be another thing, but not when he says the normal diplomatic stuff, not to mention it doesnt ever refer to Schweini.
