Press Conference
I'm live at the SuperLiga conference, and Abel Xavier is missing. Maybe he got stuck in traffic. Decio de Maria's English is much, much better than Don Garber's Spanish.
Fernando Fiore is cracking on Frank Yallop's lack of Spanish. He's known Frank since Frank played back in Miami - they're old pals.
Pachuca coach Enrique Meza says he's happy to have this preseason tournament to prepare the team for their upcoming season. He said he wants to be champions again and this will help get the team ready.
Christian Gimenez says that the players are professionals that will go out to win and bring more prestige to Mexico and their club.
Gimenez also referenced playing the Houston Dynamo and said the rivalry between the U.S. and Mexico is real, even on the club level.
I wonder if Abel X-man has a hangover from the TomKat Beckham bash yesterday???? From some of the pics floating around it looks like he was styling out!!
ReplyDeleteApparently Abel went to training, then was getting treatment afterwards. Galaxy officials forgot to account for that extra time, and then realized he wasn't going to make the presser. It was kind of an embarrassing situation.
