What else can be said, but "the man"?

His freekick sometime last February from like 45 meters out or so was just ridiculous.

Let's watch it again.

I haven't been impressed with his behavior lately. I hate to say it, but he's been acting like a spoiled diva recently.

And he needs a haircut.

I think they call that contract leverage re: acting like a spoiled diva, not having long hair.

I think that Juninho has not been himself since WC. The game agaisnt France, plus his retiriment from seleção... He´s very hurt, until now, I guess.

He really needs a haircut indeed.

I haven't been impressed with his behavior lately.

Yeah, I noticed that he has not been playing with his usual flair.

As some of you might already know, Govou had launched a fierce attack on Juninho in his interview with Lyon Mag a couple weeks ago claiming that his status as "the star of the club" created tensions in the locker room, and that he often tried to put on his show on the ground.

The club as well as Govou denied this report saying that the whole story was fabricated by the magazine, but guess what? Juni isn't buying it. And now the tensions are mounting as he demands to know the names of those who are thinking ill of him.

Je lis que certains joueurs veulent avoir plus d'espace ? Mais qui ? Qu'on me le dise ! ça, c'est peut-être le plus grave....Govou ne doit pas se cacher derrière les autres et doit dire qui sont ces joueurs. Qu'il donne des noms !

This is gonna be ugly..

Govou denied making those comments on the official club website, but LyonMag was quick to hit back with proof.

i see this as a GOOD thing if juni and sid get together and work it out the first day back. a little spat now and then is a healthy part of married life if you don't stew in it.

[Allez Lyonnais]

Lyon didn't have such problems as this when they were a small club and now they've grown into a monster full of egos and internal problems. I just hope that Perrin will be able to take charge of the situation.

i agree with the analysis in the end about how the club needs a single 'head' to direct it higher. if the coach's vision is cancelled out by the other directors then he cant accomplish much.
