Crapello Likes Abidal
By: Inara | June 11th, 2007
Just when I thought the rumors of Real Madrid being interested in Eric Abidal existed only to piss off Barcelona, it turns out that there might be a grain of truth to them.
As we all know, Roberto Carlos is packing his backs for Turkey next season, and now Real Madrid is faced with the monumental task of replacing the man many regard as one of the best fullbacks in the world.
In his tell-all interview with the Spanish paper AS, when asked about who will replace Roberto Carlos, Fabio Capello says:
[Referring to Roberto Carlos] It does not have better lateral left in the world. It is at his Abidal level, but the nobody best one.”
From what I was able to decipher from google, he’s basically saying that Roberto Carlos is the best left back in the world, that Abidal comes closest to his level, but that no one will be a perfect replacement. Obviously, Capello is exaggerating – perhaps to let Abidal know that there are other clubs in Spain not named Barcelona. And the nice thing is that Real Madrid isn’t as cheap as Barca either.
So SCREW YOU, BARCELONA!
