Fuck you Rodri! Licking Messis ass to get to Argentinean NT on the world cup

Players, especially the ones that are from the same country, look very different at big stars than football fans. We only watch on TV and on Stadiums, but players play with or against players like CR7 and Messi, and they know their worth more than anybody.

Even tho you were joking, I had to say that. We rate players differently.

If Ronaldo was an Argie and Messi wasn't, Palacio would be supporting Ronaldo.

 

[wera]

in 9 outta 10 examples, that is true

Messi and Ronaldo are national treasures, everybody in their country are proud of them

GdS - "Palacio doesn't tweet, doesn't create controversy, and does not talk about himself. He is always there, dragging the team like a mule but with intelligence. He runs for every ball and opens huge space in the opponents half."

I have a strange feeling that Moratti wrote this. Missing only 'kick twitter out of football'

That's well said.

One of the best investments this club has done for years. Really exceptional player who has surprised me so much.

Similar sentiments towards Pupi?

Zanetti:

"Ballon d'Or? Messi is the best player in the world. I hope he wins it again, he's the number one."

 

[Pajo]

Fuck you Zanetti too!

 

[Devious]

If Ronaldo was an Argie and Messi wasn't, Palacio would be supporting Ronaldo.

What if Palacio wasn't an Argie and Ronaldo wasn't? Would Palacio be supporting Eto?

Good James Horncastle article on Palacio:

http://www.whoscored.com/Articles/yccx2pvyx0obokgojkv3na/Show/Player-Focus-Palacio-At-Home-At-Inter

On his rat-tail:

“Palacio is a great champion,” Pupi jokingly told the Inter Channel after it emerged that an agreement had been reached to sign him from Genoa for €10.5m a year ago. “Once he gets here I’d like to cut off his ponytail so he’s bald like Cambiasso.”

Ponytail? More like a rat’s tail. Mind you, don’t say that to Palacio. He’s very protective of it. Nicknamed La Trenza - The Tress - it’s part of his identity. Asked how he’d react if Zanetti tried to cut it off, Palacio playfully replied: “I’d kill him.”

He’d allowed Genoa to take a 7cm strand for their museum.

On the Asado clan:

Like him, he was joining Inter from Genoa at 30. He settled in fast. Palacio was the latest member of “il clan degli Argentini.” At the time there were eight at Inter. He got lifts into training with Milito, roomed with his former teammate at Boca Juniors, Matias Silvestre, drank the yerba mate prepared by Walter Samuel - incidentally no one else is allowed to make it at Inter - and went to the many barbecues they organised.

On tactics:

So what we’ve seen from Inter so far this season is a kind of 3-5-1-1-0. A formation without an orthodox centre-forward. How then should Palacio’s role be described? Is he a false nine? “I’d say that I’m still a second striker, but that I also like playing like this: as a false forward and not a classic No.9. I like it because I tire myself out less and being closer to goal I get to score more.”

Palacio has found the net seven times in Serie A this season and, with four assists to his name, has been involved in as many goals as the league's top scorer Giuseppe Rossi [11]. Of the Argentines in Serie A, Juventus’ Carlos Tevez and Napoli’s Gonzalo Higuain have grabbed more headlines. They’re the bigger names. Still the lower profile Palacio has been more decisive so far this season.

 

[Pajo]

Hope he scores tonight, is chasing one great achievement - he has scored against EVERY team in Serie A so far, except Livorno. If he scores tonight he will have scored against every team that has played in Serie A in the past 4 years. :notbad:

 

[rockball]

Pajo jinxed him.

 

[wera]

Ban Pajo, he keeps jinxing too much.

And we are a football club, not record chasers. Winning is more important than him scoring.

 

[R.Palacio8]

Pajo jinxed him.

In Argentina we would call him "mufa"

 

[dynasty27]

and for this...

Fuck you Zanetti

 

[Jane The Virgin]

lol

Palacio with someone in front of him (icardi or milito) will be 10 times better than he is right now, much more freedom and not as much defenders around him.

 

[wera]

a player like Rossi would be great with Palacio up front :alone:

 

[Sam_JZ#4]

Palacio is really doing a huge job out there, he's everywhere in the field. Thank you RODRIGOAALLL !!

 

[KaiokenFlash]

I think about how great Palacio has been for us. Sacrificing himself for the team, yet still getting the bulk of the goals. Then I think, if he gets injured...What will we do? Sadly no one else can do what Palacio does. We would have to change the current system in that case. Otherwise I don't see us functioning.

reminds me of Eto'o
