They’re Angry in Japan!

Ya gotta love this.

Today in Tokyo, fans got together to protest against President Juan Soler and coach Ronald Koeman’s dismissals of Angulo, Albelda and Cañizares. For a video of the protests, click here!!!

They’re even angry in Japan!
Wonder if I could get a protest going here. Do one in Times Square. I wonder how many people would show up. Two? I have to get that penya going … anyways, I digress!

Two more bit of news before today’s Copa Del Rey match against Real Betis.

First off, PSV Eindhoven are angry at us for trying to go behind their backs and nip Mexican defender Carlos Salcido. According to PSV director Jan Reker, all offers for him from us will go “directly into the litter bin”. That’s nice …

Reker told AD Sportwereld: “That is absolutely indecent. We are not even very angry about it, but we are very disappointed.”

Los Che have now contacted PSV to talk about the transfer, but they are not willing to let him go.

“Valencia called us on Monday with their request and I immediately told them that Salcido is not for sale,” Reker added. “Every offer that Valencia will make goes directly into the litter bin.”

That’s not cool.

The last bit of news concerns Koeman, who warned against relaxing against Betis tonight. Relaxing? What are you, crazy??

“We have a great chance of going through, but we will still have to perform,” he explained.

“The team cannot go into the game thinking the job is already done and make mistakes.” We’re a goal up and can advance with a draw tonight.

“We have to continue playing like we have been for the past few games,” he said. (What have we done the last few games? Well, we have played better … )

“As well as playing well you have to win because that is the most important thing. (yes, sir …)

“I cannot complain about the fans’ reaction after the last home game against Levante. The only thing we are missing is scoring goals and winning games.” (Which, of course, is the whole point of the game …)

Let’s hope for the best. I think we’ve turned a corner somewhat. Let’s keep the good stretch going …
