How did I miss this? Teammates with the ever delightful and forthcoming Deco!

Do you know why Michael Ballack had a ginormous hate-on for Deco his entire stay at Chelsea? Because Ballack thought he was the big, bad, alpha and omega wolf and Deco, as evidenced in this Teammates, thought Ballack was worse than a fishwife with the constant bellyaching, that's why. It's anathema to him, these short people who act like they're tougher than him.

He smiled fondly and shook his head and sighed in mild exasperation and called Ballack difficult on camera. I'm pretty sure this goes against the rules of PR Ballack gave him, besmirching his image.

Deco also cops to being the worst dancer, says Carvalho has no style, Kalou is stupid which he means that in the nicest way possible, and Boswinga is lazy. And JT gets credit for a long dongle (not that Deco looks).

ETA: Also, what is not to love about cameraman Kalou? Or Chelsea's entire media campaign thus far this pre-season? Have you ogled the ChelseaTV correspondents? And dreadfully earnest coach Villas-Boas? (He whose furrowed brow could launch an armada?) I am going to enjoy this to the hilt. It's like somebody took football and recast it into an Aaron Spelling Beverly Hills 90210 type of verse. Younger, hotter, naturally shallower, but if you're thinking about it that hard you're doing it wrong.

chelsea, deco
