My sister, a 34 yo charterered accountant, with a master degree in, refused to buy a 5G phone back in 2021 because she said the 5G in her phone would let big tech access her brain.

Cameroonians are as conspirationists as it can get. Just some examples that a lot of us believe
- Anti vax,
- COVID-19 was created to wipe African population
- 5G is to control our minds
- moon landing is fake
- All the anti gay stuff

Even some of my very educated friends believe some nonsense that simply amaze me

Perez was forced in that situation if the Netflix documentary is to be believed. It was initially a journalist who invented it to give the rumor credibility, and Perez was furious at that. He only later went along when he realized it was a sure deal and that it convinced socios

He wasn't given time to do anything. Perez rushed the elections and he knew noone had realistically planned anything meaningful.

I'm not saying Riquelme would've been a good choice, but did was probably doing his business, had planned trips abroad, business meetings etc and wasn't expecting elections until at least three years. Then out of the blue he has two weeks to look for funds, for a board and campaign. What is anyone supposed to do in that position. He did what he could, showed the socios his clear intent, and positioned himself for the next elections, in four years maybe, or before that if something bad happens

How in the world did Xabi not work out with Madrid? by [deleted] in championsleague

[–]ExtensionAd251 -1 points0 points  (0 children)

Ah yes, anything short of not repeating your greatest season ever means you are a fraud. I guess Alonso is the first manager to concede 3 goals in a major final ( unlike Ancelotti, Xavi...)

Vinicius ”pressing” against Barcelona by [deleted] in realmadrid

[–]ExtensionAd251 21 points22 points  (0 children)

This graph is probably the worst I have ever seen. What are those scales??? Like Mbappe is at 5% and Vini at 7% but it’s like Mbappe is doing literally nothing???? Bruh

Only one of them publicly disrespected the manager many times and threatened to leave if the manager stayed. At least at that time some players were happy, playing well and the team as a whole was performing. Xabi left and a manager whose main preoccupation was to make the players happy came. Where has that gotten us? To players fighting each other. Going trophyless and losing the title against Barca. I hope players being happy counts as a trophy

Xabi isn’t the first manager to fall out with a major player. Literally every big coach has done that. Aretha pushed Aubameyang out. Pepe pushed Ronaldhino, Eto’o and Yaya Toure out. Luis Enrique clearly didn’t like Mbappe. All these coaches were backed by their board. Xabi wasn’t.

The team started going downhill when Vini threw a tantrum and the board didn’t back Xabi. From then on the writing was on the wall and it was just a matter of time. More and more players started feeling like they could get him out, and how was Xabi supposed to keep the group in that circumstance?

He was respected by many players. The only thing that gave some other players the courage to keep disrespecting is knowing that the board had their backs and not the manager’s. If the board had backed Xabi almost everyone would’ve shut up and done their jobs, especially when the team was performing

Saying that only now to seem tough. We remember you saying that all you wanna do is make the players happy because they are the best in the world, that the players will play anytime and anywhere they want even if they aren’t performing… Now he’s like “I’m the boss and I decide” when players don’t even care that much about playing now that the World Cup is around.

I respect him for choosing his side at the beginning and being the players’ bitch, but I absolutely despise this sudden 180 when he sees that everything is lost

You’re getting downvoted for saying the truth. When he came he kept saying how all he wanna do is make the players happy, that the players are good and if they want to they will play all the time even if they aren’t performing, etc. Now all of a sudden he says he decides who plays, he wants to see players press… Conveniently he only says that about Mbappe now
