Cut and paste phrases holders

Paper Scissors

The atmosphere has been heated in recent days in the English tabloids. The context, the Champions League match between Barcelona and Arsenal, the players, Guardiola and Wilshere, the reason, some technical statements about the young Barca player. With encouragement and a tabloid target more than likely heat up the atmosphere prior to the meeting, the British press misinterpreted the words of Guardiola with headlines that had little or nothing to do with what he meant. A practice that, unfortunately, is more common than you might think.

When asked by the Arsenal footballer and if he would sign for his team, Guardiola praised his virtues, ruling out a possible ground that already has interest not only in the first team, but also in the subsidiary, with players of their characteristics. Nothing new in a speech in which technical standard is to reassure the people of the quarry and hope to open the first team if they really deserve a chance.

However, the British press gave her words an overbearing and arrogant tone that was lacking as understood, or wanted to understand, that does not need Wilshere Guardiola's because players like he is even in B. Just one example sounded and recent, but one more of headlines that we get out of their context, meanings can be misinterpreted and can cause us to react or conclusions without stopping even to ask reasons of how or why .

In one example, less bombastic and more moderate in their interpretation, a few weeks ago was asked about his teammate Kaka Benzema, then being questioned at present. Brazil highlighted the quality of French and how they showed in qualifying, but was inclined to stay out of the game and could give more because he has. However, the headline was "Benzema could do a little more", giving a tone of reproach that was not the intention of the international canarinho. Furthermore, with the yield being offered at the Bernabeu, former AC Milan was an easy target for criticism and comparisons.

Moreover, Guardiola and Kaka did not speak of his own volition Wilshere and Benzema, but were asked by them. Sometimes it seems that the characters of football talk about things that do not play or did not concern them, but no more than answers to what is asked. On with the examples: when Paul returned to Spain to play the first leg of the Champions League against Schalke Valencia, few questions were asked about such an important match for him and his club, but most were related to the discussion Real Madrid-Barcelona.

Mourinho has and has had his outbursts, and that list of errors, but in his press conferences are common and most questions about these issues before the football itself. If we add that the Portuguese coach responds willingly, we have what we see. There was little anger in prior to the Auxerre commented when asked several times by the absence of Pedro Leon without even asking who would play only once, Benzema and Higuain, in the debate over the ownership of both. Is not that what really matters? However, the absence of former Getafe new signing, was more curiosity and possibility of controversy.

There are few times when the football players leave us sounding phrases in their statements, but if not, you can always improvise in pursuit of a good headline. When we read newspapers, watch television, listen to the radio or surf the internet and come to our senses controversial headlines from these players, you're never more than that before processing the information and evaluate it, we ask where they were developed, how and why talk about it. In this way we avoid the possibility of falling into wrong conclusions.
