Q&A with Patrick Vieira (1 Viewer)

[Mr. Gol]

FYI, for those interested... Calcio 2000 often asks random

Do you sing in the shower?
A: No, mai. Sono stonato come una campana. (No, never. I sing atrociously. [Literally from Italian: 'I sound like a bell.'])

Thank god. His neighbours would go mad

A: Sono ancora giovane per pensarci. (I am too young to think about it.)

veira was not at his best in lazio game.

 

[Joaco]

he was in Milan before going to Arsenal, right?

and when you speak french, Italian comes pretty fast. I'm sure he knows basic Italian.

Yes,but he only plays two matches.

When you compare him to Beckham, Vieira's retention of the Italian language is astounding. :wink:

I haven been able to watch many Juve games tis season.. And when I did watch the game, vieira was not able to play.. I only managed to see vieira play for Juve once tis season.. He wasn't all that impressive in that game against lazio.. tell me guys.. have he been playing well tis season for juve?? it seems to me like his heart is not here at juve but still over at highbury...

I would think so. But what tipped me off was when he supposedly replied, "Sono stonato come una campana." That's not the sort of thing that translates directly, and it isn't the sort of answer you'd give unless you've been asked the question before in Italian -- which I kind of doubt.

I had to look it up in my not-very-concise Oxford-Paravia Italian-English dictionary. If he did say that in Italian, I am seriously impressed by the guy's language skills as much as his midfield ball skills.

I was impressed too, when I heard him speak. His Italian is still very, very good.
But I was even more impressed hearing Henry. They interviewed him after the Inter 1-5 Arsenal game. Only 6 months in Italy and you'd think he lived here for years!
