Was replying to nardonJuve who said Italian players would be too physical, when I seen him several libertadores games (a competition thats fairly insane in several ways), especially vs Uruguyuans, who were ludicrously relentless with the sole dirty task of bullying him out of games, took the beating most of the time and did his thing. Generally has not had any real injuries in his career so far, despite being manhandled as fuck most of his career so far, can hack it physically for sure, which NardonJuve was questionning. For some reason there is this misconception that South american footie are full of sissies that stand around and let attackers do their dance and applaude, while you are bound to find one ze craziest and dirty players over there, and organised wall defences too (find too many of these games boring cuz of that, several defence oriented games, Brazilian league is televised in Sweden this year, most teams aint ze joga bonito notion rest of ze world has). Will initially be obvious adjustment issues to going to Europe playing vs ze biggiest and best (CL etc), but will mainly be for playing in a higher level (he would rape Serie A for sure), not because its too physical for him.
Now, I repeat dont reply to me, because there is no possible way to genuinly have any discussion with you, since you are just hellbent on talking of your biased ass and base everything on silly stereotypes and stubborn pet peeves of yours.
