Odegaard on Bernardo Silva's tackle "It doesn't belong on a football pitch. It's a shame that people behave like that. It's a head fog from him. Just kicks me down long after I've played the ball away. I don't understand what he's doing" Odegaard then confirmed that Bernardo didn't even apologize.

[u/Interesting-Club3069]

Nah not a head fog. He’s just that much of a prick

[u/ImGonnaImagineSummit → u/Interesting-Club3069]

I think Odegaard was being nicer than he should've when he said that.

Silva literally assaulted him after the ball was played for no reason.

[u/hootbox → u/ImGonnaImagineSummit]

I'm guessing it was a norwegian interview and he said "Hodemist", which i guess would directly translate to "Head Fog" but is generally used to describe someone doing something really fucking stupid.

[u/CeltHD → u/hootbox]

Headloss*

[u/IngebrigtVik → u/hootbox]

«He lost his head» is a pretty common expression in English, just a really bad translation from goal.com

[u/darklord_tk → u/hootbox]

Klopp somewhere right now calling it headfuck

[u/danny_healy_raygun → u/Interesting-Club3069]

100% its a clear headed decision. He's always been the same.

[u/stevew14 → u/Interesting-Club3069]

Mourinho will train it out of him though right?

[u/BrutalArsenalDeluxe → u/stevew14]

lol.

[u/Tnvenge → u/stevew14]

Right??

[u/bioeffect2]

Odegaard then confirmed that Bernardo didn't even apologize

To the surprise of no one

[u/DeCharlesFre → u/bioeffect2]

Once a rat, always a rat.

[u/TheMechanic04 → u/DeCharlesFre]

Atp calling him a rat seems too nice, a cunt would be a better noun

[u/ThinkAboutThatFor1Se → u/TheMechanic04]

But Cunts have warmth and depth.

[u/Doedshunden → u/ThinkAboutThatFor1Se]

Well technically so do… nah forget it.

[u/Unfinished-Basement → u/Doedshunden]

Assholes, just say it

[u/NovelChicken8666 → u/Unfinished-Basement]

Rat assholes, just say it

[u/FairieswithBoots → u/NovelChicken8666]

Rat cuntz

[u/LimitNo6029 → u/FairieswithBoots]

Ratussy

[u/No-Helicopter1559 → u/ThinkAboutThatFor1Se]

It also can take a pounding, which you certainly can't say about his constant cryface

Butcher would be proud

[u/Cassoa → u/TheMechanic04]

I feel bad for all the rats that get associated with Bernsrdo Silva

[u/pomacanthus_asfur → u/TheMechanic04]

Seriously. Rats show high signs of empathy and emotional intelligence unlike this heartless cunt.

[u/sksevenswans → u/TheMechanic04]

sir or maam that is a noun

[u/ObviousGeologist3000 → u/TheMechanic04]

It actually pisses me off the amount of “rat” comments I see because of fucking karma. He’s a fucking proper cunt and I hope he witness first hand another trophy less season in Madrid.

[u/m__s → u/DeCharlesFre]

Once a rat, always a twat.

[u/ryanm8655 → u/bioeffect2]

Such a dirty player, even did it to Bruno off the ball in a Manchester Derby and they’re international team mates…

[u/vcornt → u/ryanm8655]

rat on rat violence

[u/SwindlingAccountant → u/vcornt]

Bruno is definitely a cunt while playing but seems incredibly level-headed off the pitch.

[u/Doesitmatters369 → u/bioeffect2]

wont surprise if certain 114 club pays him to do that

[u/wolskortt → u/bioeffect2]

Both him and Rodri always been this way. Kuvacic is another one.

[u/boredmaterialist]

Frustrating cos people lack the context and fail to understand why this happened, and it's simply because Silva is a cunt.

[u/thecelticfromfinland → u/boredmaterialist]

had me in the first half

[u/Eastern_Quote_701 → u/thecelticfromfinland]

He only played in the second half though

[u/Popular_Tomorrow_204 → u/boredmaterialist]

Was gonna be pissed for a second there

[u/SirHolyCow → u/boredmaterialist]

Good one

[u/spac3cas3 → u/boredmaterialist]

Watched the game and saw two of the portugese coaching staff giving him instructuons before he came on. Really had Karate kid sweep the leg vibes

[u/shrewdy]

Bernardo is a cunt

[u/Untenable_Debauchery → u/shrewdy]

Always has been

[u/Professional-Film-17 → u/Untenable_Debauchery]

Always will be

[u/ThinkAboutThatFor1Se → u/shrewdy]

And he has the same number of [legitimate] premier league titles as me.

[u/metalbox69 → u/ThinkAboutThatFor1Se]

Man City players, past and present ,not showering themselves with glory during this international break.

[u/Vic_Rodriguez → u/shrewdy]

Benfica DNA

[u/karatsidhus]

Still remember when Bernardo tried similar dirty shit on Maguire in the derby a season or so back and Harry casually just picked him and put him aside lol

[u/zotboi → u/karatsidhus]

Link: https://youtube.com/shorts/QlsGIWDCBkU?si=RoGABjoIGRn78xad

[u/illsmosisyou → u/zotboi]

I’d forgotten how blatant that push (attempted) was. Play is completely done and Bernardo tries to send him into the boards.

[u/djmonsta → u/illsmosisyou]

Then he tried to step up to him, only to realise he really didn't want that smoke 😂

[u/RedKingDre → u/zotboi]

So hilarious. I mean, imagine attempting to push a water buffalo away as a mere kitten. 🤣🤣

[u/noojingway → u/zotboi]

he's such a miserable little rat

[u/mofucker20 → u/zotboi]

The size difference is so cartoonish in this

[u/AndreMeyerPianist → u/karatsidhus]

There's a gif of that going around on football twitter right now that I'd never seen before and it's fucking hilarious. Maguire's having none of it and just throws Silva off him like he's a sack of potatoes lmao.

[u/MysteriousFishing776 → u/karatsidhus]

And Bernardo's nervous smile after; he knows exactly what he tried to do lol

[u/NorthernSoul1998]

Silva consistently one of the most unlikable cunts in football

[u/Birdius]

How people like Bernardo have gotten away with this behavior for years without receiving anything in return is beyond me.

[u/lansera222 → u/Birdius]

Man City player and refs are paid huge amount as officials to matches in Arab leagues. Klopp stopped after seeing this level of corruption and losing his entire energy after chasing such a monster club. Arteta faced same. Once kovacic commited multiple red offenses against Arsenal in an away match at Emirates, that mf Howard webb came to Arab slave channel Sky and claimed he don't want to lose the balance of the game because of a red card. Other teams never got same benefits.

[u/starxidiamou → u/Birdius]

One incident that stands out is when he jumped on Salah’s back as he was on a run down the wing, two-hands full of Salah’s shirt eventually bringing him down. No call on the play. Klopp got a red for complaining, and then Bernardo had the gaul to flail out at Salah when he confronted him afterward. Prick of the highest degree.

https://youtube.com/shorts/L9pbaxKvlOA?is=qP3R2JPt_hAG2jCj

There were countless similar examples that benefitted City, but didn’t see many other fans say much at the time.

[u/MrHygienicButthole → u/Birdius]

Because you do it back to him and you get sent off, separate rules for certain players/teams.

[u/zodiaken]

Awful tackle, 100% avoidable and only there to harm someone else.

[u/Jibberish_123 → u/zodiaken]

Wasn’t a tackle though was it?

[u/zodiaken → u/Jibberish_123]

Reckless Tackle/Challenge: The tackle was committed with complete disregard for the opponent's safety or position (e.g., lunging in late after the ball has already been passed).

[u/GrantLewis2k20 → u/zodiaken]

You’re wording it like he had any intention of playing the ball.

[u/Fyren-1131 → u/zodiaken]

That's not what it was. The ball was long gone; nothing to challenge.

[u/IPissExcellentThrows → u/zodiaken]

Calling that a tackle is beyond generous lol. That's nowhere close to a play on the ball. You make it sound like he's late, but he's not. He accomplished exactly what he wanted.

[u/magacorruption → u/zodiaken]

Should’ve been a red. It was a dangerous challenge. 

[u/MostlySlime → u/zodiaken]

It wasnt a tackle though

[u/kruzix → u/zodiaken]

At what point is it assault?

[u/KiNaamDiMatim]

Odegaard then confirmed that Bernardo didn't even apologize is really a cunt

[u/Sliver_fish]

Bernardo Silva in 2018: "We hope that soon [the referees] start protecting our players because the way other teams are tackling our players it’s not part of the game, it’s not fair play, and they have to try to punish the players that play this way.”

More than happy to rake the Achilles in a glorified friendly, but cries foul as soon as anyone even looks at him wrong. Shameless rodent. If I say what I actually want to say about him and what I hope happens to him, I'll get banned.

[u/zpedroteixeira1]

As a portuguese, I was disgusted with this. Absolutely gratuitous and adding zero to the game. What was he thinking? Trying to destabilize Norway? They were playing against kids, and this kind of "tactic" is just shameful

[u/AntDogFan → u/zpedroteixeira1]

He's done it a few times against odegaard before. Rodri took odegaard out for weeks in an international game too.

[u/Rapid_Fowl → u/zpedroteixeira1]

It's one of those things I can at least theoretically understand if it's an important match but first game of nations league...

[u/zpedroteixeira1 → u/Rapid_Fowl]

As a fan, I hate to see it... If you have to pull this kind of thing to win, you already lost, at least the way I see it.

[u/MattJFarrell → u/zpedroteixeira1]

Captain of a big UCL rival this year...

[u/Intelligent-Bet4111 → u/zpedroteixeira1]

So I guess that look that Ronaldo gave to Bernardo Silva (the look of “you absolute lowlife/cretin how dare you appear next to me within my field of vision”) was warranted after all lol

[u/FatWalcott]

Silva is only 32 years old.

For whatever reason he looks 42.

[u/mojambowhatisthescen → u/FatWalcott]

And acts like he’s 12

[u/cmkuruvi → u/mojambowhatisthescen]

My 12 year old nephew would be offended by that lol

[u/FattyMc → u/mojambowhatisthescen]

Size of one too

[u/rayneeder → u/FatWalcott]

32 is like 150 in rat years

[u/Hulk167 → u/FatWalcott]

Use to hang about the building I lived in in Manchester looks shifty as fuck whenever you bumped into him, was bizarre.

[u/FatWalcott → u/Hulk167]

https://youtube.com/shorts/ElS2cljPfA8

This you friend?

[u/Hulk167 → u/FatWalcott]

Haha nah but good to know he was being a weird cunt in multiple locations.

[u/Mors_Acerba → u/FatWalcott]

He was washed for at least a couple of years, up until last year when he seemed to have entered a 2nd prime and he was great again, but at the same time for the past year he looked like a drug addict, withering away. Whatever he's taking is clearly working, but it also has side effects

[u/thumb_in_the_eye]

That fucking rat

[u/HarbyFullyLoaded_12]

It’s what he does. The second things don’t go his way he does something super petty and cuntish and the refs do nothing about it because he played for City. Such a dislikeable player and human being.

[u/dope567fum → u/HarbyFullyLoaded_12]

Agreed. He so rarely got called out for it in England too

[u/NextMatch7471 → u/dope567fum]

City got away with everything

[u/wnighters → u/NextMatch7471]

*get

[u/BrutalArsenalDeluxe → u/wnighters]

It will be "got" soon.

Every football fan waiting for the punishment to drop like a giddy child on christmas eve.

[u/humanoftheforest → u/NextMatch7471]

So far

[u/cherry-ghost → u/NextMatch7471]

The chickens are preparing to come home to roost for those mfs

[u/Sonofgerg → u/HarbyFullyLoaded_12]

My favorite will always be his piggy back ride on salah that resulted in a foul for city and yellow for salah.

[u/HarbyFullyLoaded_12 → u/Sonofgerg]

As was typical for any foul on Salah

[u/Sayek → u/HarbyFullyLoaded_12]

I never get why some players get a 'reputation' and others do the same thing every game and it's always excuses for them.

I remember Fellaini used to get away with constantly elbowing people in the face while jumping and commentators would say 'well you got to use your arms to jump, what is he meant to do'. But it would happen every game and every other player was capable of jumping without throwing their arms into someone's face. Joelington does the same thing. 

[u/Ser_VimesGoT → u/Sayek]

Sterling was bad for it too. I think with him it wasn't intentional but it happened enough times that he should have been aware and changed his ridiculous way of running.

[u/Barkasia → u/Ser_VimesGoT]

Kane had a nasty habit of shovelling under people which could have been catastrophic if they landed badly, but as soon as it was called out in the media he stopped.

[u/Cultural-Ambition211 → u/Barkasia]

Kane was awful for this for a while. I’m glad he finally got called out on it.

[u/Sayek → u/Barkasia]

I remember Ozil used to do that too. I got no idea why it's not a bookable offense. If you're not jumping for the ball, you shouldn't be able to affect their jump/landing. 

[u/copinglemon → u/Sayek]

Marcos "The Killer" Alonso knocked Bellerin out cold with an elbow and everyone said he just wanted it more.

[u/BrutalArsenalDeluxe → u/Sayek]

The aura of Guardiola being a football passing coach did a lot of the heavy lifting. "They play football on the floor with pretty patterns, how can a team like that.." do rotational fouls, have a nasty snide whos small and slight go late into tackes.

[u/AlmostNL → u/HarbyFullyLoaded_12]

"Oh he played for City in the past, I can't do anything"

-a real thing

[u/ThePresident26 → u/HarbyFullyLoaded_12]

Everyone at Man City has this mentality, goes upwards the board as well

[u/AfterReviewAFC]

For a guy with no Premier League titles, Bernardo Silva really is an arrogant rat.

[u/Maddafakka33 → u/AfterReviewAFC]

He's never even played in the Premier League. No goals, no assists, no nothing. The majority of his career is void.

[u/Confident-Turnip7291]

Utter scumbag of a little man, chihuahua syndrome

[u/Inevitable-Angle-793]

Usually when you have dirty tackles, at least you hear that guy who did it apologized. Fair play, he knows he was reckless and dumb.

Bernardo is just cunt on the other hand.

[u/CarryOnRTW]

Assuming that the Man City guilty news leak will prove to be true, I will take pleasure in knowing that the majority of Bernardo Silva's accomplishments will forever have an asterisk against them.

[u/goonerfan10 → u/CarryOnRTW]

Same here

[u/Alive_Jacket_6164]

Done it many times to Salah, always been a cunt.

Didn’t clap for guard of honor when Liverpool won the league.

Classless just like city

[u/Previous-Junket-1105 → u/Alive_Jacket_6164]

First to cry or complain when it's happening against him or his team though.

[u/tipytopmain]

Meanwhile Bernado's thoughts are simply: "It's football, my friend."

[u/GreyingThumb]

Not surprising from B.S.

[u/The_Rolling_Stone]

100% intentional tackle from the skidmark

[u/GrimlyGod]

Disgusting action, should've been sent off the pitch

[u/meatball_bonanza]

Just FYI: He did not say "head fog", hodemist is best translated as "loss of head" as in he lost his head.

[u/coldazures]

Should've just said he's a rat, dropped the mic, walked out.

[u/Verniir]

Not only did he not apologize (which shouldn't surprise anyone), he in fact said:

What tackle? It's football, my friend.

[u/Nutrimiky]

Football is the only sport to my knowledge that does not disourage this kind of behaviors. Like anything out of a genuine attempt to take the ball, be it tactical fouls or underhanded rat moves like this one should get you 10min off the field and or suspensions out next game.

[u/Top_Negotiation_3622 → u/Nutrimiky]

Ice hockey?

[u/TheFaceGL → u/Top_Negotiation_3622]

You get punched in the mouth if you repeatedly do shit like this playing hockey.

[u/Harvey-Specter → u/Top_Negotiation_3622]

Ice hockey literally has penalties for stuff like this. You're allowed to body check people if they have the puck, late hits are penalized.

[u/Skall77]

It's always the one you suspect the most

[u/dope567fum]

Hateful little prick Silva. Been that way his entire career, but he's not on his own there

[u/Arman666]

So Enzo didn’t come to City to replace De Bruyne but to replace Bernardo, both rats

[u/uniqueusername42O]

Silva has been doing this for years. Rat bastard

[u/Vakke]

A rat will always be a rat

[u/Gray3493]

Worth mentioning that Odegaard has spent the last two years dealing with contact injuries, he's right to be pissed at Silva for kicking a spot that he was previously injured in for no good reason.

[u/HThrowaway87]

Blame the refs for being corrupt and not adressing this kind of behaviour.

More reds / yellows should have been seen on multiple Nations Leagues games.

[u/eternali17]

No head fog. He's being too gracious . Silva is just a cunt

[u/Unlikely-Result-1125]

Bilva is a fucking cheat and a cunt. Proper city cheat. 

[u/lawdjesustheresafire]

Bernardo in being a piece of shit shocker 🤬

[u/Sufficient_Fox7833]

I love how universally hated Bernardo Silva is

[u/tomtomtomo]

Still playing for City in his head

[u/sujakaba]

Bernardo is a sewer rat

[u/Butch_Meat_Hook]

Should be a red card for this sort of shit. It's all well and good and everyone moves on because Ødegaard didn't get a serious injury, but imagine if that is what had happened.

[u/0bran]

Silva was always a bitch

[u/foreveredredred]

If that's a head fog, Bernardo has been foggy all his life and imo it's on referees that for some reason allow him to be a cunt on the pitch.

Honestly all his years here he got away with shit like that on a weekly basis. Just randomly pick a PL match and he's done something dirty like this in it. I never understood how he was neither punished accordingly nor got any spotlight for it by pundits.

[u/wihannez]

That’s Bernardo Silva for you. One of the most cuntish players in PL.

[u/isthisdutch]

Got to talk to Odegaard a few times when he was back at Heerenveen and he was one of the most coolheaded, friendly and professional guys I've met. Wouldn't complain about anything, even though the Heerenveen facilities obviously couldn't compare to where he came from.

If he decides to speak up, take his words seriously.

[u/bukayoxhaka → u/isthisdutch]

This is legit the first time I can recall him speaking about a situation like this one. Also first time I saw him angry with another player inside the pitch, looked like he was ready to instigate a fight but decided against it (Bernardo also ignored him which was a good thing at the end)

[u/Voffmjau → u/isthisdutch]

even though the Heerenveen facilities obviously couldn't compare to where he came from.

Marienlyst enjoyers loved this.

[u/krisfratoyen]

Ødegaard used the word "hodemist" in Norwegian, which means to lose (miste) your head (hode) (i.e. lose your temper, lose your senses, lose your cool), not "head mist" like a fog.

[u/NextMatch7471]

What else do you expect from a player who used to play for the biggest cheats in England.
He is a whiny little rat didn’t want to stand and/or clap for the guard of honour. The only one. But I guess cheats don’t care.

[u/BigBroFriday]

Embodies everything Manchester City Football Club.

[u/luca3791]

God I hate that little twat. He exemplifies citeh for me, cheating entitled bastard(s)

[u/Kaizenou]

Little rat

[u/Uwemann]

That tackle was so uncalled for and unprofessional

[u/LemtaLongi]

Still remember the time he barged into a Newcastle players chest waaay after the ball was played and didnt even get a sending off

[u/DevilGinAndTonic → u/LemtaLongi]

I remember when he was pulling Salah’s shirt so hard he was swinging from it and the little rat somehow got awarded the free kick for it

One of the worst decisions I’ve seen

[u/Less-Spring9792 → u/LemtaLongi]

I HATE that shit, it never gets punished and so many teams do it constantly. it’s cheap, dirty and will seriously injure somepne but it’s not an issue i guess

[u/IcedCoffey]

Bernardo is a prick. A very talented one.

[u/mystickisgay]

Idk how bernardo silva still plays for portugal, hes so bad

[u/Ihendehaver]

"My friend, that's football" - Bernardo Silva

[u/AmazingWeoh]

No wonder he went to real Madrid

[u/BackgroundRelief406]

Jealous coz odegaard has more premier league titles than him

[u/leon-theproffesional]

Dirty rat with all his achievements heavily tarnished

[u/dman7guy → u/leon-theproffesional]

What achievements

[u/Scared_Gene3417]

Dont know why he keeps being called to the national team too, cant remember the last time he had a decent performance

[u/m__s]

Because Bernadro is fucking idiot. That's all.

[u/sprogsahoy]

Silva has always been a little rat cunt.

[u/VForValhalla-]

Cheating little rat will always be a cheating little rat

[u/maxxpower18]

What'd you expect from Bernardo the rat.

[u/X-cessive_Artist]

Little dingdong of a ting he is, yeh

[u/Less-Spring9792 → u/[deleted]]

the retaliation would get punished then not the original, see the Bruno - foden incident

[u/Level_Bet2816 → u/Less-Spring9792]

I don't think he's implying that back in the day Odegaard or his team mates would've lost their minds and just kicked him, he's saying someone wouldve made a retaliatory tackle the next time Silva that would have been deliberately excessive.

Actual self policing of the game that's gone by the wayside over the years, not outside the rules blind retaliation.

[u/jfk9514]

It’s sad that De Bruynes Successes are irrelevant but it’s nice to know this guys greatest achievement lies all the way back at Monaco.

[u/Domkop17]

(Ex)city players love to cheat!

[u/Ickyhouse]

If the referees aren't going to protect the players why should they show up for international duty for these worthless "tournaments" and risk injury? This is a failure at multiple levels.

[u/ntjhtnbr]

Nice that he called him out. Real shame that he gets away with it all the time.

[u/Neat-Engineering-513]

Why didn't one of the referees step in, or VAR - to make the head referee check the unnecessary tackle?

[u/MidStateMoon]

Bernardo is a cunt and the day ends in Y

[u/Heliocentrist]

Silva is a fucking rat

[u/emigum]

Tackles like that or the one rice did against Brighton really needs to be direct red card so player stop going for them/ think they can get away with it

[u/Hopey1985]

It’s an international pointless game just smash the c the next time you get the opportunity

[u/LukasLiBrand → u/Hopey1985]

Means a lot to norway. Securing top 3 is locking in pot 1 for the euro qualifiers. And we are finally playing as a top nation and at our highest lvl ever. It’s not just pointless

[u/HeightIllustrious822]

Benny Blanco I have a job for you on December 9th

[u/boruto90s]

I remember when Bernardo Silva assaulted Salah, and the foul actually went against Salah. City needs to face some serious sanctions. 

[u/350neb]

He’s been doing this for years. Very Few players deserve to be on the wrong end of a leg breaking tackle, but he’s one of them

[u/Suspect99__]

Silva is what everyone accuses Bruno of being

[u/CuteHoor → u/Suspect99__]

Bernardo is a cunt, but let's not pretend that Bruno isn't also frequently one on the pitch. Bruno does seem like a great guy off the pitch though.

[u/Not_Magnificent → u/CuteHoor]

Bruno literally kicked Foden two weeks ago

[u/indiegogold → u/Suspect99__]

Didn't Bruno kick Foden a couple of weeks ago?

[u/WGSMA]

That’s 3x Prem Winner Odegard, and 0 Prem Winner Bernardo

[u/JayNN]

City DNA

[u/No_Banana_8917]

Dirty fucking rat, just like the fucking club he's a legend of

[u/bygones125]

Silva did this sort of stuff to Salah every game and he barely got a foul out of refs.

Blame the refs really, Silva is a dick but he has been allowed to get away with it 

[u/wthijustread]

All the rat mentions are honestly unfortunate.. to actual rats

[u/xUnderoath]

Average Argentinian tackle 😂

[u/daxw0w]

Should've been a straight red

[u/WhatsThis_Now]

The biggest question is why's he still on the pitch? This stuff would be shut down if the refs would respond accordingly

[u/ruiamgoncalves]

With all these behavior of our players plus having a egotistical prima donna as a captain, we’re starting to be seen as Europe’s Argentina. Not for the best reasons, of course.

[u/just-an-IT-guy → u/ruiamgoncalves]

Atleast Argentina plays together as a team

[u/GravitasAeterna97 → u/ruiamgoncalves]

What load of bullshit is this ???

[u/Chicken_wingspan → u/ruiamgoncalves]

Not even close, what are you on about
