    4. Thiago Silva “Overweight ladyboy”. An insult that Thiago Silva would most certainly never use to describe another person, let alone another footballer, but one that he was instead at the receiving end of from former Marseille loanee Joey Barton. There are distinct differences between a player like Silva and another like Barton. Thiago Silva shows all signs of having understood the concept of footballing responsibility, and that he is able to let his supreme talent speak out for him against the few critics he has. Barton does not have enough footballing confidence to let his performances do the talking, and, as a result, foolishly !lashed out at the Brazilian whom Barton had every right to be jealous of. Thiago Silva’s lack of a response to Barton’s onslaught in May 2013 was emblematic of his demeanour on and off the pitch. The term ‘class’ is one that is frankly overused when describing footballers, but !Thiago Silva categorically embodies it. After a €42m move to the current French champions in 2012, Thiago Silva was under extreme pressure to perform to the best of his reported abilities. If that was not enough weight on the already undisputed leader of the Brazilian national team’s shoulders, he was then made captain of Paris Saint Germain, a role that he fulfilled throughout 2013 as a calendar year. A period of adjustment was indeed necessary, but the brief length of that period before Thiago Silva appeared truly at ease with his new surroundings was testament to a skill that distinguishes the player from other household name !central defenders in the football world: the ability to adapt rapidly to a different environment.

  • Emerson: Posiadam Jakość, Skoro Tu Jestem AS Roma - Polski Serwis Romanistów - Asroma.Pl - News
    Emerson: Posiadam jakość, skoro tu jestem AS Roma - Polski Serwis Romanistów - ASRoma.pl - News (Leggo - R.Buffoni) Udajemy się do centrum sportowego Fulivo Bernardini, do Trigorii, aby poznać nieco z bliska Emersona Palmieriego, 22-lata, lewego obrońcę Romy, który zaskoczył po trudnym początku. "Palmieri to nazwisko mojej matki, która ma korzenie w Kalabii. Ale nazywajcie mnie tylko Emerson". Odkrywamy uśmiechniętego i zrelaksowanego chłopaka, atletę Chrystusa ("wybrałem numer 33 ze względu na Jezusa"). Emerson jest dowodem tego, że również na "strasznej" rzymskiej ziemi można, dzięki zaangażowaniu i powadze wrócić na górę. Szczyt osiągnięty? Ależ nie, teraz do zdobycia jest miejsce w drużynie narodowej: "Wygrałem mistrzostwo Ameryki Południowej 2011 z Brazylią U17, grając na lewej obronie i zdobywając też gola. Ze mną byli Marquinhos, Wallace i Piazon. Teraz mam przed sobą Marcelo, który jest najlepszy. W grze są też Alex Sandro i Felipe Luis". Z taką determinacją, nie zdziwiłbym się, gdyby wkrótce otrzymał powołanie do drużyny narodowej. Od katastrofy z Porto do idealnego meczu w Genui. Emerson, jak ci się to udało? - Taki jestem. Z Porto był zły wieczór, nawet dwa. Mogło się zdarzyć każdemu. Jeśli jednak Roma mnie wybrała, Spalletti mnie tu sprowadził, Spalletti mnie wypuszcza, to dlatego, że posiadam jakość. Trener bardzo ci ufa, nie tak jak Garcia... - Z Garcią relacje były dobre, ale dokonywał swoich wyborów i nigdy nie grałem. To sprawi smutek każdemu. Ze Spallettim od razu było inaczej, zawsze we mnie wierzył i to jest ważne dla piłkarzy. Kiedy miałeś poczucie, że odmieniłeś swój los? - Po meczu z Palermo. Palermo było przeznaczeniem. I pomyśleć, że Zamparini odrzucił ciebie mówiąc, że nie miałeś charakteru.
