Alejandro Garnacho accused of believing own hype as ex-Man Utd & Chelsea star enters last-chance Premier League saloon at Aston Villa"},"content":{"rendered":"

There is still plenty of time in which to turn things around, but is Garnacho running out of willing takers in England<\/a>? When that question was put to Cole, the former Villa striker – who was speaking courtesy of LiveScore Bet<\/a> – told GOAL: \u201cThe thing with young players, he showed great promise when he was at Manchester United. Young players need to be managed correctly. <\/p>\n

\u201cIt seems to me that he’s got carried away with himself and thought he was the finished article at a young age. I suggest the environment that you’re in, if no one’s taken a hold of what’s going on in the background with these young players, they can get carried away. They manage themselves and they think they know what’s best.<\/p>\n

\u201cI’ve got a son in football right now. Even me talking to them, I’ve got two boys actually. One’s 15, one’s 18, one’s a pro, just made pro at Middlesbrough. So I know having a young, talented boy, sometimes they think they know it all at a certain stage. I was like that as well.<\/p>\n

\u201cYou have to be quite delusional to be a footballer anyway. But sometimes you have to pull the reins in. And I think Garnacho, he falls under that banner where he can be a great player if he knuckles down and just focuses on football and leaves the stuff away from the pitch.<\/p>\n

\u201cSometimes it only takes 6-12 months of just pure football, getting to learn the game, getting to learn who you’re playing with, how can they get the best out of me and how can I get the best out of them. Just focusing on football, just football.”<\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"There is still plenty of time in which to turn things around, but is Garnacho running out of…\n","protected":false},"author":2,"featured_media":627133,"comment_status":"","ping_status":"","sticky":false,"template":"","format":"standard","meta":{"footnotes":""},"categories":[9],"tags":[282547,42659,4027,6947,85,46,3157,2619,105],"class_list":["post-627132","post","type-post","status-publish","format-standard","has-post-thumbnail","category-sports","tag-a-garnacho","tag-aston-villa","tag-chelsea","tag-exclusive","tag-il","tag-israel","tag-manchester-united","tag-premier-league","tag-sports"],"_links":{"self":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627132","targetHints":{"allow":["GET"]}}],"collection":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts"}],"about":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/types\/post"}],"author":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/users\/2"}],"replies":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/comments?post=627132"}],"version-history":[{"count":0,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/posts\/627132\/revisions"}],"wp:featuredmedia":[{"embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media\/627133"}],"wp:attachment":[{"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/media?parent=627132"}],"wp:term":[{"taxonomy":"category","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/categories?post=627132"},{"taxonomy":"post_tag","embeddable":true,"href":"https:\/\/www.newsbeep.com\/il\/wp-json\/wp\/v2\/tags?post=627132"}],"curies":[{"name":"wp","href":"https:\/\/api.w.org\/{rel}","templated":true}]}}
