Re: 2019 Vulture Cup
Tellian manager Palladino furious after 4th-place finish
Following Tellia's penalty shoot-out defeat to the United Governorates, manager Antonio Palladino was scathing in his criticism of his team's players, opponents and the Tellian FA. He said in the post-match press conference "I am furious that they [the FGGC] would put us in this tournament with such idiot teams. We should be warming up for the World Cup with other champion teams, because we are a champion team. My players do not care about these idiot teams."
Following on from these comments, he was critical of his side's effort, bizarrely saying that the Tellian side "didn't show the other teams any respect", completely disregarding his earlier remarks.
Tellia's next test is a week today against a Mercury side that went through qualifying with a perfect record, and Palladino said "it is nice that we finally get to play a champion team, now we can show that we deserve to be the best champion team".
