Ta. 😀

I found it via another source in the end, so all good.

You probably have age appropriate filters on. Ask your big bro to do it for you😂
But he said the ref was useless and van Gaal needs to keep his mouth shut.

[Toronto Villa]

Now that’s proper interview answers😂😂😂
When was the last time we heard words “useless” and “needs to keep his mouth shut” in a post match?

Just superb

He's probably looking for the clip in Spanish.

Just love this guy, he's got that Bozzy quality in shootouts of springing quickly across goal.

Have to get some shootouts in the cups while he still remains with us just for the bantz and all that.

I love the guy too but he lacked a bit of class I. That interview. The 10 mins were more that warranted given the amount of time wasting that went on.

Enjoy the victory. No need for the classless commentary.

[olaftab]

He was honest and candid. Isn’t that what we want rather than fake platitude and condescending remarks?

[Percy McCarthy]

To be fair to LVG, he HAD  to try some kind of psychology, because anyone with a passing interest in the game was pretty certain it was all over for the Dutch once it went to pens against Emi.

Nah. That's a passionate commentary the like of which any of us as fans would like to deliver after a hard fought game in which you felt like you were up against it. He'll probably get fined for his comments about the referee, but that was a wonderfully refreshing change from the usual old shit. Proud that he plays for the Villa.

It was brilliant, but I am slightly disappointed it didn't play out like this. But then I always want interviews to go like that, regardless.

"Harry Kane, what did you make of today's game?"
"Listen, we knew Senegal were mostly shit, thankfully they were shit today and we took advantage of their shitness."
"France up next, how are you feeling about that?"
"France are fucking dickheads. And they stink. Stinky dickheads."
"Okay, thanks Harry. Harry Kane in a confident mood there."

Honest...the ref might aswell have given the whistle to Messi in the second half. There was epic karma when the Dutch equaliser.

[tomd2103]

That second penalty save was superb.

[Toronto Villa]

Haha love it. Emi just going mental here

Poor research by La Nacion describing Emi as 'the archer of Aston Villa'. Don't they know we already have more than one?
