Spanish players left network-less
It seems that Spanish players will not be able to use twitter or facebook during the world cup. In statements made by the players and the coach:
“The coaching staff has told us that they prefer that we are isolated from everything,” striker Juan Mata told a news conference on Thursday.
“I have to respect that, we must be focused on each match and on our rivals. I don’t think it’s a big deal.”
Barcelona defender Carles Puyol has already said goodbye to his Twitter fans.
“Hello everyone, from today we cannot connect until we get back from the World Cup, I will tell you about it when we get back! Greetings!” he said in a tweet.
Coach Vicente Del Bosque said days before the players gathered for training that they should not use social networking sites in order to focus on the tournament, which takes place in South Africa from June 11 to July 11.
We gather that this is obviously to keep them focused and maybe just maybe in hopes that no one by mistake leaks a small piece of their secret strategy to win the world cup. But do not worry as soon as the world cup is over they will be back and ready to tell their stories to you.
