Hareide at its best when he made the press conference to a verbal piggery – Dagbladet.no

MALMO (Dagbladet): – They played like pigs, was Malmö goalkeeper Johan Wiland summary of the Celtics physical football after last week’s 2-3 loss at Parkhead in Glasgow.

Today would Scottish journalists know what Åge Hareide thinks about his own keeper characteristic of the Scottish players.

And that they got. To gangs. Along with a lesson in language and the linguistic fact that it means one thing in a given language, not necessarily mean the same in another. For Wiland did not call Celtic players for four-legged gryntedyr with ulekre eating habits and a too large nose right in the face – he said just as we often do in this part of the world, that they played like that.

The implication; they played foul.

They crawl not around in the dirt on all fours and is ugly to look at.

– It’s stuff like that that makes me angry and that leads to I lose respect for journalists and what is put on the pressure, raging Åge Hareide.

– You can not just take the word of a given language – whether it’s Swedish, Norwegian, Spanish, German or whatever – translate it, and believe that the meaning is exactly the same as in their own language.

It is of course not.

– Show respect for the languages ​​and countries you travel to, continued Hareide.

This time it was not “either you are with us or against us” to the Swedish press. This time it was “us against them”, and the time was again ripe to fire up the surroundings and their own fans through targeted attacks on angrperne outside. As a directional explosion. And he’s good at it, Åge Hareide, because it actually looks like he thinks it just as fervently as he delivers it.

Perhaps he does it well.

In each fall day before a game that is about 200 million.

– Yes, gris gris means in our language too, but playing like a pig means something else. It means playing dirty. And it has a completely different meaning. My goalkeeper never said Celtic players are pigs. And from people who use the f-word in virtually every sentence pronounced it especially to hear we are being criticized for having said that a team plays messy.

– It makes me angry.

Åge Hareide also said that Celtic players looked tired towards the end of the first leg in Glasgow. It would also Scottish journalists have an explanation. And they got the following manner without using neither p … or f-word:

– I said it because they was tired. And I stand for, said Åge Hareide.
