Newcastle’s Coloccini and Taylor
Newcastle recently obtained Argentinian Coloccini (Check: Newcastle signs Argentinian Coloccini) as a central defender. He played in the first game of the season for Newcastle against Manchester United. Though United was wanting offensively with Ronaldo and Tevez out, it was sure to be a difficult game for Newcastle. Newcastle tied United 1-1 and proved that a solid defense could well repel the United attacks while they have a limited offense. “Yesterday [Sunday] was the first time they have played together and there are signs today that it could be quite a good partnership which may get even better” said Keegan (Newcastle manager).
“That could be our central defensive partnership for the next five years. They are both signed for that length of time, so now it is up to them. I have told Steven to watch and learn. I am sure he will because he has such a great attitude. He got a bad knock when we scored that would have seen a lot of players come off, but not Steven. If he does what we ask, he will make another step up and go from the Under-21s to where Coloccini is. The key is he wants to learn because some young players don’t.”
I love coloccini’s hair, i need a pic of it on my desktop for sure
THIS GUY IS TIGHT, great defender, lots of experience, good snatch
Performed one of the most ridiculous jukes ive ever seen some years back in tourney play against Brasil, one of my favorite defenders. I’ve heard his father worked in a sausage packing factory, thats where he learned how to stroke.
