Even if you give him the benefit of the doubt and assume he meant 'winning' instead of 'having been there', he still said just a few days ago this ECL final was more important than the WC, which seems contradictory. Unless, of course, he doesn't want to win a WC, perhaps conveniently because his chances of doing so are not very high. |
