"Lamine, un elegido que debe saber asimilar su sueño"
En un momento de euforia en el que nos rendimos a la evidencia de un niño que se ha hecho hombre futbolístico jugando entre buenos y contra los buenos –y de entre todos ellos, unos y otros, él ya ha demostrado que es de los mejores–, me da igual ya lo que diga el jurado del pomposo Balón de Oro. Este chaval muestra una cara del fútbol que no recuerdo que nadie haya logrado tan prematuramente en la historia de este juego. Ni Messi, que ya fue un joven excepcional, arrancó con este poder.
Mike McCarthy on exchange with Aaron Rodgers: "I wish I wouldn't use those words"
In the first quarter of Thursday night's game between the Steelers and the Browns, Pittsburgh quarterback Aaron Rodgers became upset.
Given that he's often upset during games, that doesn't really narrow it down.
He was particularly perturbed that the play was coming in too slowly. And a microphone caught his words.
"What the fuck?" Rodgers angrily said to the sideline. "Call it."
The Prime Video cameras then cut to coach Mike McCarthy, who seemed to say, "Fucking asshole."
After the game, McCarthy initially feigned confusion when asked about communication issues. When the questioning became more specific, he said that Steelers P.R. director Burt Lauten had told McCarthy about the exchange that made its way to TV.
"Communication sometimes is not the best choice of words, but everybody's competing on the field," McCarthy said. "I think, you know, what's said on the field, the way I grew up in this game, you know, usually stays on the field. That's not the case today. I understand that. But, yeah, any negative communication on my part, I wish I wouldn't use those words."
For Rodgers's part, he wasn't asked about the specific exchange.
Either way, the Steelers fell to 2-2. They're currently in last place in the AFC North, as the only team with two losses. If the Bengals and Ravens win on Sunday, the Steelers will be all alone in the basement of the division.
