Man, hold on tight, 'cause I found out a good one! A guy who was cooking at the AKA hotel in Alexandria, Virginia, got screwed and ended up on the streets after he opened his mouth. Seems like he snitched on Modric and his crew for drinking wine in camp. Eh, well, didn't he know that signing a contract is like for life? Now he's sitting and wondering why they fired him. Man, I know how it is: when I worked a summer at a restaurant in Slatina, I said something about the boss and bam, I got the boot. That's how it is, bro, when you stick your nose in confidential stuff, you pay big.
Now listen up: the manager, of Turkish origin, gave an anonymous interview, but they found him right away. He said the Croatian Federation allowed the players to drink wine, a minor piece of info, he says. But, bro, you signed a confidentiality agreement with the Croatian Federation and FIFA. Well, that's the bible, no joke! And on top of that, he also talked about what they eat: fish and seafood, prepared by the federation's chef, to handle the heat in the USA. What can I say, I'd also like to have a chef who makes me seafood specialties, but Mioara barely makes sarmale and those are full of bacon. That's life!
Let's see how the Croats got to the hotel. They came with a police escort, from the airport to the hotel, an hour and forty minutes. Fans screamed, and Luka Modric was the most chanted. Poor guy, he waved his hand like a king. But what struck me: their bus had no Croatian sign, unlike other competitions. Maybe that's why they drank wine, to feel more at home. Me, when I go to football with the boys at Fane's terrace, I also drink a beer, but I don't make a scandal, 'cause people know me.
Now, Croatia plays on June 17, at 23:00, against England, in Group L, with Ghana and Panama. The squad is full of names: Modric, Gvardiol, Perisic, all those guys. Man, I say they have a chance, but if they come drunk on the field, it's bad. You know how it is in Olt, in Slatina, where people are kinda weird about PSD? Same with the Croats, if they lose, they'll curse that manager for ruining their karma. Man, I for one don't buy the story that the wine thing is minor; if it were minor, they wouldn't have fired him. So, rest assured, at the World Cup there will be a show, but also dramas. Alright, I'm off to tell Brian not to start drinking wine, 'cause that's a model from the Croats, not from him.
