The Real Sociedad boss looked like he was momentarily possessed by some sort of malevolent spirit while trying to pronounce his player’s name
To be fair to Moyes, Asier Illarramendi’s name is stupidly difficult to pronounce. However, that does not serve as an adequate excuse for his absolutely abysmal attempt at pronouncing it.
There’s missing the mark, and there’s being so far away from the mark that it looks like a mere microscopic speck on the horizon.
While the sudden burst of emphasis by the Scot was meant to mimic a Spanish accent, the result sounded more like he was auditioning to voice one of the puppets for a new Dolmio ad campaign.
What makes this clip that little bit more entertaining was the sheer look of shock washed over Moyes’ face as soon as the peculiar noise emitted from his body. He made sure to say the name again, with a slightly toned down accent in an effort to cover up the ridiculous moment. He’s not fooling anyone.
