English Classes For City

by Rohandevgan

Manchester City coach Sven Goran Eriksson is flying high after his side's superb start this season which sees them lying in third spot in the League. This also includes a derby win over rivals, Manchester United. In order to continue this form Eriksson feels that communication is the key on the field. Eriksson has 15 different nationals in the squad and has therefore instructed all of them to take english classes to better their communications on the field which he hopes will help them perform better.Bizzare or a Brain wave? You be the judge.

Not a surprising move, I know the Pittsburgh Penguins have employed a similar technique for some of their European based players. Last season Evgeni Malkin was instructed in English classes.

Lots of teams in lots of sports have language classes for their players. I like that this goes beyond language you'd use on the field/pitch/court/rink, because it's important to be able to communicate and interact away from the sport.

City are kissing the feet of their deliverer. It a shame the money had to come from a bent politician. Sven was always better at club management rather than country. We'll see if the Blues can keep it up. Good luck to them.

This is a great idea. This should be instituted at every club with mutiple nationalities. I can't imagine going to Spain and not trying to learn Spanish or Germany and not learn German. Try going to Japan and not speak Japanese.
