If that were the case transfers would not exist. Can you imagine if Ronaldinho would have been told at Barcelona: ‘You have to speak Spanish or you won’t play’; end In, say something more about Brereton”, “Gereca’s payroll is worse than Berizo, Lasarte and Rueda”, “Ricardo Gareca does not select Ben Brereton, who is 24 years old and plays in the Premier League, because he does not speak Spanish, but he selects Eduardo Vargas, a 34-year-old retired player who has been irrelevant for years.

In an interview Modric and Courtois explain and explain why this happens, which is the same thing that Gereka said in that interview,” “Respect the start of this new process by Ricardo Gareca, he knows what he is doing and he needs to start getting to know the players and make decisions for what is to come.
