Did I read that correctly? Musona and Obasi will be leaving 1899 Hoffenheim for four weeks in the middle of the season to play in the Africa Cup? I’m rubbing my eyes but, no, I’m not dreaming.
What is this? Are we to believe that this is standard practice? Do they mean to tell us that Cissé, Allagui, Abdellaoue, Chihi, Makiadi and dozens of other Bundesliga players are just going to take a powder for a month because the homelands call? Or Premier League players, i.e. Demba Ba? I don’t think so…
This is stupid business. So much for professionals.
But hey, have a nice time! Send us a postcard! By all means, go kick a few goals for the national team because, Lord knows, you haven’t kicked any here. And don’t worry if you get injured! We’ll nurse you back to health, however long it takes, whatever it costs the team. No problem! Just, next season, could you see if you can fit your paying job into your extracurricular activities?
