I doubt Diego speaks Arabic
He looks like one.
There are only 5 million lebanese in brazil (many in Sao paolo), and maybe he learned some bad words from his friends. When we Arabs are asked by our non arab speaking friends to teach them arabic words, we usually pick the bad words always for some reason:)

I though he was, since got involved in alot of the build up and was dangerous several times. The most fouled player in the match tonight. He doesn't need to score or assist to have a good match. He had a better match than Camo, gio, melo, and amauri

Even when he doesn't perform he shows a lot of potential in his passing and dribbling abilities, he is still young and there is a lot of pressure on him as the new star man of a big team, he will be world class once he gets more adjusted to the team and on good form. He is not like the average players our board have been buying since Calciopoli

I'm more and more concerned Diego can't cut in Serie A. Not that he doesn't have the skills, but he obviously needs more space to function which our opposition doesn't allow. He always has 2 players on him and it's obviously getting frustrating for him, he was lucky not to be sent off yesterday.

well he has to pick up his game then, he is hardly the first attacking player who has been fouled incessantly in Serie A...even Kaka got sick of it eventually...I guess the refs need to be more watchful of that.

He sure does. There's a huge difference between him and Kaka, not just by reputation but playing style as well. Kaka splits defenses with intelligent passing, Diego likes to take on players head on. He needs to adapt and change something because after his initial explosion he has been read and completely neutralized now.

The refs don't need to do anything, did Kaka and Zidane need extra protection? Diego needs to step up.
