I hope this link works it might not… but it’s the funniest and typical thing I’ve seen
How this footage is out there I don’t know but it’s really made me chuckle
But Wilf is sitting on ground at training watching a training game , Mateta jumps for the ball and Wilf is shaking his head in disbelief and goes “nah man see the way he jumps , I mean what is he jumping for”

When I watched it last night I couldn't hear what he was saying but now its pointed out can hear it clearly. Unreal isn't it.
Theres another bit right at the end where Mateta, Eze and Lokonga are practicing shooting and you've got Lokonga sitting on a ball telling the coach "finish on this one yeah" and Mateta crossing his neck saying "thats it". I thought f*** me you lot should be wanting to camp out all night practicing shooting not sitting around being desperate to finish.
Unless they had to make it to the Gucci shop before closing for the next arrive in style video.

Taking the p on the trainng ground has been going on since training grounds were invented

I dont make wilf wrong though if he had more decent crosses to practice on he might get a bit better at it .

Wilf clearly doesn't rate Mateta at all. He seems to actively avoid passing to him in games, whereas he will look to play off Edouard.

Just seen this bit of the video has now been removed

As far as I remember German press reports at this time, Mainz also wanted to give Mateta away for disciplinary reasons. So it could be that he is fundamentally not the most compatible. Even worse when you can‘ t compensate arrogance with perfomance.
