Another multilingual footballer and some people say the English don't do foreign languages

Jadon Sancho channels Joey Barton and Steve McClaren in bizarre interview on Norwegian TV

England and Borussia Dortmund winger Jadon Sancho ended up going viral for all of the wrong reasons on social media in the last 24 hours.

Sancho scored the first goal and created the second for Erling Braut Haaland as Dortmund thrashed Schalke 4-0 in the Revier derby in the Bundesliga on Saturday evening.

Unsurprisingly, Sancho and Haaland, who scored twice, were the centre of attention when it came to the post-match media duties and the pair ended up doing an interview with ViaSat, a TV Station from Haaland's native Norway.

The pair answered questions in English, but Sancho has earned ridicule by responding in a German accent, albeit in English.



Just so embarrassing, why on earth do they do it?

Sancho, Barton and McClaren - they must have about half a brain cell between them.

I think they have a ill-informed opinion that they won't be able to be understood if they speak with their natural voice / accent, so they slow it down and put some weird accent on to try and make it more understandable, when it would be perfectly fine for them to speak as they would with their families and friends!

Honestly think the Barton one was a wind up (has to have been), but the McClaren one was hilarious.

It's like going to an Italian in town and trying to speak broken 'holiday' Italian with them even when you know they all speak perfectly good English.

Everyone just thinks they're absolutely thick.

Exactly, haha. I live abroad and some of my mates speak this dumb brand of English when they're ordering food or a pint / whatever. It's funny but embarrassing to be sat with them.
