Super : Reason number 1... Comparing the command of the
English language, foreign managers versus English managers.
INT. ADVERTISING BACK DROP - POST MATCH INTERVIEW
A tanned FOREIGN FOOTBALL MANAGER in a dapper suit answers
questions into a mic. A disheveled ENGLISH FOOTBALL MANAGER
in a tracksuit answers questions into a mic. (inter cut as
necessary)
FOREIGN MANAGER
Yes, well with all of your young
players, we like to give them time
to develop physically,
philosophically and spiritually.
ENGLISH MANAGER
Weve said get the lad out there
and see what hes got. Weve
chucked im in tdeep end and es
done uz proud.
FOREIGN MANAGER
I think it was apparent for all to
see today that he has developed
exponentially as footballer and as
a person. He has well and truly
dispelled any of the inhibitions he
had about taking shots on goal and
if he continues to play with the
same flair and confidence he could
develop into one of the best
players in the game.
ENGLISH MANAGER
I mean really, hes a top top top
top top top lad and I only see im
getting yknow... more top.
FOREIGN MANAGER
Before the match I told the players
that concentration must be
paramount. I wanted aggression,
passion and concentration. The
players gave one hundred per cent
and we got the result we craved.
ENGLISH MANAGER
Before the match Ive said, get out
there and get into their faces.

ENGLISH MANAGER (contd)

First minute, let em know yih
there! And the lads ave done that
and theyve put themselves about
and give uz yknow an undred, an
undred and forty per cent. And ye
cant ask for more than that.
FOREIGN MANAGER
Oh yes what a marvellous goal. The
grace, the power, the agility and
the awareness, a true strike of the
football. It was almost flawless,
like a piece of art.
ENGLISH MANAGER
Well, es hit it, no I mean its a
worldie. Hes hit it and it stayed
hit. Its a worldie and the
keepers got no chance.
