For the benefit of those of us unable to listen what sort of thing is he saying?

He was in the same team as iniesta from 15 to 17 years old.

Enjoying playing more than he has done "in a few years"

Vicente is nearly fit again

When a player doesn't perform Gus tells them exactly what he thinks they've not done right

Playoffs are the target this season

Gotta say, very pleased with all of those comments although, nothing like growing up with Iniesta to make you feel like an underachiever!!

I think it's that most English players are thick as pig shit compared to their Spanish counterparts.

He's Italian (born of Italian parents but born IN Spain)
Most European players can speak several languages fluently, which takes intelligence.

That's not actually true is it - Even Orlandi himself couldn't speak a word of English when he moved to the country.... Which makes it all the more impressive how good his English is.

It sounded pretty fluent to me. He's learnt it quickly, can speak Italian and Spanish, which makes several languages in my book.

That's a bit unfair. English players living and playing abroad for more than a season or 2 would pick up the lingo just as well as those coming over here. The reason that foreign players sound more intelligent is that the accent gives sense of sophistication. I'm sure English players and managers - Tel Venables for example - come across as much more intelligent than we give them credit for when they speak spanish.

Orlandi doesn't just speak a couple of languages. He's studying for a law degree, in his spare time.

He's got his head in a text book on the coach to away games, while all the others are playing FIFA and messing about on twitter.
