“Neither Cristiano nor Messi, the player I want to see every week is Serginho Dest …”

Jamie Carragher did not get his latest prank on television right. The former Liverpool defender, a regular contributor to CBS in the United States, is part of the gathering of analysis of the day of the Champions League together with Roberto Martínez, Belgian coach, Micah Richards, former Manchester City footballer or Alex Scott, also former Arsenal footballer.

First off, Carragher said “oh fuck” before the presenter stopped him: “We are on American television, Jamie.” A minute later they apologized for Carragher's swear word: “A bad word has got out around here so we'd like to apologize,” said Kate Abdo.

Later, talking about footballers of the day, Carragher added: “We are on American television and you forgot to mention Gio Reina, he is doing very well at Dortmund.” And he ended his night with: “Neither Cristiano nor Messi, the player I want to see every week is Dest.” The presenter, Kate Abdo, asked, “Are we in an American affection competition?” The comment caused a stir on social networks and Abdo did not hesitate to explain it live: “I think they saw it as condescending,” he added, and gave the official user of Carragher on Twitter in case they wanted to write something: “I'll get to Trump's numbers if the United States is beginning to follow me, “Carragher concluded.

Finally, the Englishman explained why he had made that joke: “I was joking about American footballers because Micah (Richards, also a commentator) had talked about the national team and I thought he was doing it for the spectators, so I thought I would take it to a level higher”.
