David Ginola “Yohan Cabaye Has Crossed Another Level, An Enormous One”

 

by Mark Jensen on Saturday 16th June 2012

 

Yohan Cabaye put in a man of the match goalscoring performance and the French public made him easily man of the match with three times the votes of any other player.

 

Another feature of the coverage last night on French TV was the appearance of David Ginola on the pundit panel.

 

If you give him the benefit of the doubt, the host of the programme was playing devil’s advocate because of Ginola’s history as a Newcastle player. Daveed though was right in there sticking up for Newcastle the club and city – thanks as always to Pierre for the translation services.

 

As you will see from the cover of L’Equipe today they have made ‘Dreamboat’ their cover star with the headline of ‘The Blue Lightning’!

 

(Watch Ginola’s defence of Newcastle (In French) here along with highlights of Cabaye’s performance)

 

Ginola : ”I think that his time at Newcastle and his successful season….

 

(rudely interrupted as in ‘here we go again…. England is great Newcastle is great blah blah blah)

 

Host:  “is it because he is in England at Newcastle that he is good?”

 

Ginola : “It’s very important, he has really gained confidence by playing in the Newcastle team which has had a very successful season. I think that he has had the fans behind him and the people at the club would have seen a player with a real future at the club. He has gained confidence that you see time and time again in his manner, not only in the fact that he scores the goal but in the centre of the pitch, his presence as a player. You feel a player who has more bottle, who’s gained more experience. In a year he has crossed another level, an enormous one. Today it’s beneficial for the French team and you cannot put a value on it.

 

Host : “You have played for Newcastle, we knew when Cabaye left for Newcastle we said why is he going there, it’s not a big English club and in fact…is it a club to gain experience like for Ben Arfa? What is it?”

 

Ginola: ”It’s the League…”

 

Host: “So it’s not just the club…?”

 

Ginola: ”It’s the league in one way and the club for something else.  Every weekend you are playing against great quality teams. The English game is very open, you play at 200kms an hour, you need to be physical, it never stops, you don’t have time outs.”

 

Host: “Isn’t Newcastle a ‘sad’ place”

 

Ginola: ”Newcastle is a great place, even if it is in the North of England where there is an economic crisis, it has been classed as the second city in the world after Buenos Aires where you party the most!” (but he mentioned that doesn’t apply to the players – with a wry smile!)

What the f***'s that useless c*** Benzema doing in the picture anyway, trying to take wor Yo's glory. :huff:

 

He assisted him.

 

Only Shola's allowed to celebrate assists like that.

 

The picture makes it look like Ribery and Cabaye are walking away in disgust, Ribery in particular. :lol:

I think if continues to have a good tournament, he'll take that good feeling into the new season and be even better. Can't wait to see him improve because i really think he's going to. Potential to be a bit of a hero at this club, imo.

I'm excited by the potential possibility of Cabaye being allowed the role he had vs Swansea, Stoke etc etc but on a consistent basis he would rack up goals and assists into double figures imo.

 

As well as he did last season, i feel he is restricted by playing so deep.

He'll put a few more bums on seats if he continues like this.

How do you mean? We hit 50k+ in 12 home games last season...

He'll become our David Beckham where a few thousand lasses turn up at cup games just to see him.

 

The better he plays in big tournaments like this, the more he is in the public eye and girls start to take notice.

It's sad I know but quite a few of my Mam's friends turned up just to see Ginola back in the mid 90's.

 

 

 

Who could blame them. He was a handsome f*** back then... :smitten:

 

Back then?

The host sounds a right c***, Newcastle is not a sad place.

it's what many people think, till they get here. one of the greatest pleasures in life is watching the reactions of those who don't know newcastle and northumberland when they actually get to see and experience it for real.
