SHOCKING HLEB QUOTES!!!…just a mis-translation 8 July, 2008
Posted by lasagnechef in Arsenal News.trackback
“My view of how I should be playing didn’t coincide with the manager’s. I told him last season I wanted to leave and think he was quite upset about it. But ask him. It may turn out he’s happy to see me go. I don’t know where I’ll be next season but I’d prefer Barcelona. It is being negotiated and, hopefully, will be decided soon.”
When we get scoring opportunities, Fabregas is much more selfish than me. Given a chance to shoot, he always goes for it — unlike me.”
When I heard these quotes this morning from Hleb, I was absolutely fuming. How dare he?! I was especially upset with that second statement, about Fabregas, I screamed at the television: “Well maybe you should fucking shoot then, you twat.”
However, I had the afternoon to think about these (out of the blue) quotes whilst I was very, very bored at work. It’s obvious that this has just been lost (or should I say ‘manipulated’?) in translation. These quotes in this morning’s Sun were quite shocking, but you have to be suspicious…
Apparently, these quotes are from ages ago, from the Russian media I think and they have been totally twisted. It’s understandable. I think what Alex probably said about the manager is that they have different ideas and that a move for him is for the best. And on Cesc, The word ’selfish’ has been slotted in there purposely to cause a fuss. In translation, it would be a different word, not meaning selfish, but just saying that Cesc likes to take the ball on his own and has the confidence to shoot, and that is not Hleb’s game. That’s all.
Hleb was quick to deny these quotes on his official website:
“I am shocked by some media-reports. In some newspapers it was mentioned that I have attacked Arsene Wenger and Cesc Fabregas. But let me tell you: This is not true! The statements in the papers are definitely not my statements.
I would never ever say something disrespectful about them. And there is a simple reason for this: Cesc is a very good friend of mine and Arsene is one of the persons, I respect most.”
I believe him. It’s The Sun’s job to make stories like this out of nothing and it is a perfect example of the tabloids twisting words. Hleb is still yet to sort out his move away but any news on that and I’ll update you here.
Today is officially the first day of the season; the first set of players went back into training today. Photos are here. It was basically all the players that haven’t been involved in international fixtures this summer.
And finally, Ray Parlour is set to retire. No, he hasn’t retired already, if you remember, I actually told you a while ago that he joined up with Barnet’s training sessions last season to work on his fitness but it looks like a knee problem is going to stop him from playing professional football again. Shame really, good luck to Ray anyway.
Thanks for reading, speak to you soon.
Wow and here i was believing that ’story’
Fucking media!!!
Just mis translation ???????
That journalist who mis translated it should be shot
The Scum knew what they were doing - they have been anti Arsenal for the past few years. Someone should sue those bastards
You only realising they are a bunch of misquoting, taking comments out of context sensationalist , headline hunting mutha fuckas who have no integrity or respect for the truth !
Doesn’t this make you think about the quoates from wenger which i stil think are aload of bull sh*** wenger wudnt say oat like that. and welll doen hleb for coming out and denying this made up shiite!!!
well said sue!!
Hmm, my apologies then. I was so fuming at Hleb attaking our team but now I’m fuming at the fucking journalist.
It’s got to be the weirdest thing to have your words taped, printed, and analysed by hundreds (maybe thousands) of men with nothing better to do that obsess over footballers. During the course of my day, I’ll say probably twenty things that could be hideously miscontrued and get me the sack. The only reason I don’t get called out for it is because I’m very unimportant in the grand scheme of things.
Still, ask yourselves one thing - why should Hleb’s opinion mean so much to you guys? He’s just one man, and a man who’s going to leave us pretty soon. Does it matter if he said mean and spiteful things about Cesc and Wenger? Does it matter if he didn’t? He’s history. No need to look back.
yeah sky sports are a bunch of cunts! i was fucking livid yesterday that they said hleb blasted wenger and cesc cos if you read the quotes you can see what he means and he’s not “blasting” them at all. then this morning sky sports put up the story about hleb being shocked and i thought “why the fuck wouldn’t he be you cunts”? the media have got worse and worse over the years. there was a time where i didn’t bother reading the story and just read the actual quotes from the people involved. now i’m not even gonna bother reading any of these pointless lies any more
How do you say Fuck off in Belurussian Mr Helb
Looks like Hleb is getting his dream move to Barca then ?

Conolly’s agent is right: why should we care?
Still, I cannot sit still while reading it.
His real words are not, to me, good either. He said wenger is the best coach, well, why the hell u want to move then? Yeah, probably for more cash.
Sign nasty already!
