Premier League Players Reveal How to Pronounce Their Names and You’ve Been Saying Them Wrong All This Time
The beautiful game is full of surprises, but few are as delightful as learning how to pronounce your favorite players’ names correctly. And, let’s be honest, who hasn’t been guilty of mangling a name or two (or ten) in the heat of a match discussion?
Well, worry no more, folks! A slew of Premier League players and managers have come forward to set the record straight. In a hilarious and enlightening video, these footballing legends have given fans a crash course in how to pronounce their names properly.
So, which names have been mispronounced by fans? Let’s start with the big ones. Erling Haaland, the Norwegian superstar, revealed that his name is actually pronounced "Arl-ing Hah-lund" (not "Air-ling Hah-land" as many have thought). Bruno Fernandes, the Manchester United midfielder, also schooled fans on how to pronounce his surname, which is actually "Fer-nanj" (not "Fern-an-des" as many have guessed).
But it’s not just the big names that have been getting it wrong. Sean Dyche, the Burnley manager, surprised many with the pronunciation of his name – it’s actually "Dye-chee" (not "Die-chee" as many have assumed). And Tomas Soucek, the West Ham midfielder, cleared up that his name is actually pronounced "So-check" (not "Sou-seek" as many have thought).
The list goes on and on. New signings like Joshua Zirkzee, Arne Slot, Riccardo Califiori, and Niclas Fullkrug also joined in on the fun, giving fans a chance to learn how to pronounce their names correctly.
So, what do fans think of these revelations? The reactions are priceless! "Who knew that Sean Dyche is the one that I have been mispronouncing!" one fan exclaimed. Another commented, "Still refuse to pronounce Bruno’s name the way he says it. I’m stuck in my ways." And a third joked, "Bruno what?????????"
As fans, it’s always exciting to learn something new about our favorite players. And who knows, maybe this will start a new trend in football fandom – a movement to correct our pronunciation and show some love for the beautiful game.
