El cormaco<\/strong> has been hanging around behind the scenes at Ibrox again, and was party to the post match analyse, or analysis, or something…<\/em><\/p>\n

 <\/p>\n

The scene: deep in the bowels of Ibrox stadium, an office. The door says \u201cStevie: IT guy & receptionist\u201d.\u00a0 Piled high on the desk are unopened letters with phrases like \u201cFinal Demand\u201d \u201cUrgent, not a circular\u201d and \u201cPayment overdue\u201d<\/p>\n

Paul Murray opens the door, and sits behind the desk, hair shining like the North star on a clear night, slick like a 2008 Barca passing move and rigid like the tactical shape of *Rangers.<\/p>\n

Behind him walks Pedro Caixhinia, a benign smile across his face, humming the Celtic song as he follows in Brother Murray.<\/p>\n

PM: Right Pedro, take a seat<\/p>\n

PC: Paul, I must say this, and maybe you are not believing this, but I am a guy who only tell what he thought, and I felt so happy already with the seat what I have, I mean it, totally, it is the best seat in Scotland, it\u2019s the seat what I wants, I ask for this seat and you and all of the board is support me to have this seat, the seat that will help us in all the philosophy of this fantastic cl-<\/p>\n

PM: It\u2019s a turn of phrase Pedro, I just mean sit down.<\/p>\n

PC: Of course. Sitting down\u2026 but Paul I will tell you, because always telling my thinking is a key parts of what this work is involving, in all the moments of an action and a planning, sitting down is not in the part of my philosophy with this project. From sitting down it is so difficult to keep, in the really what I call \u201ccompactedness\u201d, too many things are not together in this ways, and for us the success always co-<\/p>\n

PM: Right, stand if you want. We need to talk Pedro<\/p>\n

PC: Absolutely Paul! Like I was tell you in the minute ago, telling my thinking, like you say in Scotland, and is a great way to saying it, \u201ctalking\u201d is absolutely in my philosophy of to be in the\u00a0football, \u201ctalking\u201d \u2013 oh Paul I like so much this phrase, really, is so good, maybe I will find in Portuguese how we can say this things, \u201ctalking\u201d, yes I\u2019m love it Paul, \u201ctalking\u201d. Let \u201ctalking\u201d Paul.<\/p>\n

PM: Ri-ight. Pedro, frankly, we can\u2019t go on like this, another loss to Celtic at home, you heard the fans out there Pedro<\/p>\n

PC: Yes, I did! \u201cHail, hail, the Celts is here\u201d fantastic! I –<\/p>\n

PM: Not those fans Pedro, the Rangers fans. Chanting things like \u201cGet him tae f*ck\u201d, \u201cYou Fenian bast**d get out of our club\u201d \u201cDave King, sort it out\u201d We can\u2019t have that Pedro. We are known worldwide for our dignity. Fans calling you a fenian bast**d, that\u2019s one thing, but when they start criticising Dave, you can see the position it puts us in\u2026<\/p>\n

PC: Of course, totally. I am seeing all the things, in every moments, I work every day, many hours, believe me, many hours in each day for prepare myself for all of the things in the football so I can see, make analyse of all situation and with good thinking finding always good solutions for every problem for helping grow this fantastic club, this club with so much in history of all the football, that is \u2013<\/p>\n

PM: Fair enough, so how do you make analyse \u2013 analyse \u2013 our performance today?<\/p>\n

Pedro digs into his coat pocket and brings out a glass, an orange, a piece of chewing gum, some string, a rubber ball, a rubiks cube, a 50 p piece and a harmonica and begins arranging them carefully on the desk, pondering slowly over where each piece should go<\/em><\/p>\n

PM: Just words are fine Pedro. Brief words.<\/p>\n

With a sad expression, like a kid whose ice cream has fallen on the ground, Pedro looks up\u00a0<\/em><\/p>\n

PC: You don\u2019t want my full analyse of the game?<\/p>\n

PM: Just a normal analyse \u2013 analysis \u2013 will do.<\/p>\n

PC: Okay Paul, I am not in a rhythm of make an analyse in this way, but I respect so much all of this club and its history and being the most successful club of the world, I can make a change for my analyse and do only with \u201ctalking\u201d ah, this word Paul! I am in love with this new idea of you have explain to me, so I can make my analyse, not forget of course that Scott Brown, is for second time, second time he do this, he elbows one player of my team –<\/p>\n

Paul Murray rolls his eyes<\/em><\/p>\n

PM: Pedro. Analyse. Just analyse the game. Pronto<\/p>\n

PC: Pronto? You mean the guy who is playing full back in my team of Santos in Mexico? You want I make analyse of Pronto? For to be replaced of Wallace?<\/p>\n

Pedro reaches into his coat again<\/em><\/p>\n

PM: Eh? No. The game. Getting horsed. Why? Tell me.<\/p>\n

PC: Okay, but I have a full analyse also of Pronto, in all the combinations in the game, in each the pressing sectors, of the medium block, and the third blocking line and even of him make the press in a first block, in our transition movement, of what we do when the opponent is having the ball and wants making the play in offensive way with action of dynamic in a position in the middle area of high press and a midfield player with name which end in \u201cY\u201d and kicking ball with his right feet is playing in direction where is the wind come from in, I actually have this! Already. It\u2019s my way to be in the football, with all this details, all the ideas of my philosophy is I guess we can say, is \u201ccomposed\u201d with this methods, for the tactic of the group, for the boys, for-<\/p>\n

PM: Whist. Stop. Talking. I. Don\u2019t. Understand. You. Comprende pal?<\/p>\n

PC: Paul! You know also this player! I can seeing you like all the details of the football as well as I like! I have also full tactical, and I can say, technical analyse of Comprendepal! We have one mind together Paul! We are<\/strong> the people! Comprendepal, playing usually for left, what I call, attack position, but interesting because he played not only for attack position, but in the moment in transition\u2026<\/p>\n

Paul Murray begins banging his head against the table, so firmly some of it even moves \u2026.<\/em><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
