Emery’s Two-Word Answer Stirs Humor…
Unai Emery took a page from the comedian’s handbook when asked about Emi Martinez’s future before Aston Villa’s game against Crystal Palace. With Villa’s goalie linked to Manchester United, Emery turned into a riddle master, offering only ‘Marco Bizot’ as his cryptic explanation. It’s as if Emery misplaced his script and decided to fill the silence with a mantra. Meanwhile, Villa fans are left wondering if Bizot is a code word or if Emery moonlights as a stand-up comic.
Over at Manchester United, Ruben Amorim offered some philosophical musings on the plight facing his goalkeepers, Andre Onana and Altay Bayindir. Describing their performances in a way that made them sound as beleaguered as cats trying to herd themselves, Amorim declared their mistakes are just human blunders. It must be said, when goalies at Manchester United have such existential challenges, it makes one wonder if a philosopher’s degree is also a requirement for the job!
