‘Chelsea manager is a coward’ claims goalkeeper

Phil Scolari is used to criticism. After all, he’s been manager of Brazil, a role where the world and his wife have something to say about the way the national team should be managed. Nevertheless, he won the World Cup with his compatriots, and also did a pretty good job of managing Portugal. According to most people anyway…
Setanta report that this doesn’t include a goalkeeper named Vitor Baia, who isn’t a big fan of the Chelsea manager. It might have something to do with the fact that ‘Big Phil’ axed him from the Portuguese set-up, perhaps he has a right to be offended when you saw the state of Ricardo’s performances, especially against Germany!
“He’s a coward because he never had the courage of publically saying the reasons why he pulled me out of Portugal,” Baia told radio Renascenca.
“The situation I experienced with the selection is something that makes me very sad, most of all for not having discussed things with him face-to-face.
“I believe Scolari will never take the decision of saying publically what happened.”
Strange one this, why indeed should the Chelsea manager have justified his decision not to pick Baia? A manager has a finite number of places available and, if they had to confirm in public the reasoning behind why certain players weren’t involved, then someone like Rafael Benitez would have no time left to coach the side.

Football has certainly changed an awful lot from the game I watched as a kid, and not for the better as far as fans are concerned. The game seems to have lost its soul and things such as honour, loyalty and common decency have become meaningless words from a bygone era. The majority of players, managers, chairmen and governing bodies at the top level in the modern game are nothing but a bunch of greedy, lying, cheats.
The despicable conduct of Ronaldo over the summer and the disgraceful actions of Ferguson and Berbatov on Monday are prime examples. The sport and the media should properly vilify them for their behaviour but instead of this they are held up as role models and heroes, and a blind eye is turned to anything to the contrary. To ordinary fans the shameful conduct of these players and club officials is really quite stomach churning at times, but that’s the game as it is today.
