Thiago Alcantara: The Scouser Sceptic?
What a revelation! Fans worldwide have been left in awe after intercepting a conversation between Thiago Alcantara and Zlatan Ibrahimovic, which has left many suggesting the former Liverpool midfielder has got all the makings of a potential Reds manager.
For those not familiar, Thiago shockingly announced his retirement from football mere days after leaving Liverpool to join Bayern Munich. You can’t help but feel Liverpool missed out on a phenomenal gem of a player, who in 4 years at Anfield saw just 5 minutes of playing time due to injury woes. To add insult to injury, Thiago immediately took up a coaching role upon announcing his retirement, joining Bayern coach Hansi Flick at his alma mater, Barcelona.
Now, behind the scenes footage has emerged showcasing Ibrahimovic and Thiago’s lighthearted banter before the charity match between Barcelona and AC Milan. According to the clip, Ibrahimovic remarked "it’s not English" as Thiago responded with "No, No, Scouser." You got that right, mate! An edited version of the clip surfaced, allegedly dubbing Thiago’s remark with a voiceover, but, c’mon, we’ve seen Thiago’s mouth movements!
Fans are having a wild ride, with some praising this alleged Scouser remark by saying "I would’ve done the same!" and others hoping to see Thiago wear the Liverpool manager’s coat. Let’s face it, who wouldn’t be captivated by Thiago Alcantara’s enigmatic journey from Barcelona to Bayern, Germany to Spain, and, ahem, maybe someday in charge of the Reds? Would we have wanted more hours of Thiago in action as a player? Heck yeah, for that matter, more love, more energy, more pure genius!
In a universe where coaches are born to reign – well, maybe – there comes a day when they choose love and loyalty over glitters of a fading spotlight. Fans remember that Thiago didn’t play for the Reds to end injuries. He fought; yes, he fought with everything Thiago had!
