We need the option to do this in fm, as soon the game ends insult the other manager for playing boring football or something.

[@DrZaius3141]

I mean, the interviews offer plenty of options to dunk on other managers.

[@lfmm97]

I wonder if FM has any plans in the future for introducing AI for things such as the media, or even during match commentary (either text or audio), would be awesome. Imagine a well polished AI being able to ask questions that are actually relevant to the match/whatever stage you are in the season, attempting to maybe stir up some drama and allowing you to type in your own answer and having the journalists, managers players etc actually react to it, either being happy/angry/sad about it based on what your response was. Maybe even also replying to you back in the media with AI generated responses that feel genuine, depending on their personalities for example. Feels like we might not be too far away from experiencing something like that.

[@KT-ki6gz]

Also add the option to refuse to let go of their hand after an angry handshake 😅

arteta shouts "puta madre" once and this guy takes it personally, excellent

[@caracolalface6310]

Guardiola did the same thing last year, it's a thing spanish like to do to us Portuguese (i lived in Spain i know what im talking about), they like to curse at us and call us "pequeñitos" (they might not speak pt but we talk Spanish sometimes they forget that), maybe because we are free and don't answer to madrid or to them, they tried to conquer us and they failed, they asked help to the french and failed anyway, they despise the fact we are not spanish even do they hate being spanish themselves, fight for your freedom instead of being jealous of ours... Aljubarrota forever biatches

[@hkar4385]

Well if it is an insult to a family member it should not be taken lightly

[@ernesto8738]

[@TheChocolatBlanc]

In Spanish people often say “P*ta madre” which can be literally translated to “Your mother the wh*re”. However when said it is often meant as a “Heck yeah!”. You can even hear Modric say it multiple times in the “Real Madrid Celebration after beating PSG - Modric goes crazy” video on KZbin, he shouts it to all his team mates while celebrating. Strange that Porto’s manager doesn’t get this basic distinction, apart if it is in “bad faith” .

[@Lucaz99]

It wouldn’t be strange if he was Brazillian or Angolan but not inly he is Portuguese but I’m pretty sure he was born in Porto. Porto is very close Spain, you’re telling me he never heard a Spaniard saying “Puta Madre” before? Maybe Arteta screamed “hijo de puta” which is similar to the portuguese “filho da puta”. It means mf for English speakers.

[@ninanano]

I'm Portuguese and I despise this dude (most of us do) but to be honest, I can totally see how a Portuguese person would see that as an insult to their mother 😭 That being said, he definitely took advantage of the situation to play the victim. He likes whining after losing a game

[@ninanano]

@@Lucaz99 I know it looks small on the maps, but Porto is still a long way from the Spanish border... definitely not "very close Spain". And unfortunately that's not how neither culture or language works

@@ninanano What are you on about? It's a shorter trip by train to Vigo than to Lisbon. Of course Sergio Conceição has heard the expression. Not only Sergio Conceição, everyone in Portugal knows "Puta Madre" is just a general insult the Spanish use, often at random shit or not specifically directed at anything. Conceição knows it too. It's definitely in bad faith. He pulls this kind of bs ALL THE TIME.

[@Lucaz99]

@@ninanano bro I lived in Portugal, I know the culture and the languages. Neither the culture nor the languages are *THAT* different, -the Portuguese and the Spaniards have been neighbors for many centuries and they were even the same Kingdom for more than half a century.- you know this shit you’re portuguese Besides, Porto is a MASSIVE club with loads of scouts in Spain and Latin America. Conceicao coached several spanish speaking players such as Luiz Diaz, Ivan Marcano, Jesus Corona, Mateus Uribe, Augustin Marchesin, among others. He is a 49 year old ex-player and coach who has worked in Belgium, France, Italy and Portugal. I find it very hard to believe he never heard a Spaniard swear. As for the distance, I guess what you think is very distant and what I think is very different is not the same. For me, if you can get there by bus or car in less than a day, then it’s relatively close. Edit: btw I agree with what you said, I think he definitely faked ignorance to play the victim. I could be wrong but I think it’s unlikely.

[@mrwilf1978]

He said the same about Tuchel back in 20. They guy's just a muppet of a sore loser 🤣

[@TARPE13]

its not only from spanish coaches, he also said he got insulted by Thomas Tüchel during the game Chelsea vs Porto in 2021, its just Conceição being Conceição

[@nath_an]

Z, I think you should talk about the Reading training ground situation on this channel - the 7th oldest club in the EFL is weeks away from liquidating it needs all the attention it can get

[@lilbaz8073]

Not sure zealands tone really fits with readings situation. Simon jordan on talksport has talked about it a bit.

[@electricalnothing1207]

Conceição in Portuguese league is also like that, just ignore, he is just crying cause he lost.

[@ImDrewZ]

His father died when he was 16 and his mother died when he was 18. That's probably where the emotion stems from. Sure it was an overreaction, but when you learn the context behind it it's more understandable

[@miguellopes9268]

Sure dude my dad had the same thing happen to him and he doesn´t react like that, stop excusing poor behaviour please, it is your responsibility to grow to be a decent human being @@ImDrewZ

[@cacho100uva]

@@ImDrewZIt literally has nothing to do with his parents or him actually being insulted or feeling insulted. He's just like this, always has been. A jackass with a gigantic ego. On a maybe tangentially related note, my mother who's a professor at Lisbon's University of Physical Education, FMH, did some measurements and evaluations of Portugal's under 21 national team in the late 90's or early 00's and Conceição was one of the players, even after all these years I remember that what she told me about him and the things he said paint a very clear picture of arrogance and inflated ego. In any case, at most he is just as dumb as they come cause he can't even understand spanish which we portuguese do quite well. If he is hearing spanish managers exclaim "puta madre" and thinks he is being insulted then there's really not much to say, it's just stupidity.

[@nicolascastillo7065]

@@ImDrewZ No, what this comment refers to is that every time he loses he says that he has been insulted or speaks badly of the opposing manager. In Europe he has done it with Pep Arteta and Tuchel and in Portugal he also does it, there are many people who have similar traumas and They don't use it as a weapon against others.

[@MatSjo]

In the video Conceçião looks like that drunk friend who keeps saying he’s fine but then instigates a brawl two seconds later.

Classic Conceição, always on the middle of drama

[@anotherchannel4459]

The ammount of times Conceição said the same to the portuguese refs and didn't seem to care about family then! He didn't misunderstand that he knew what was said, he said it before and is just a hypocrite

[@jamesbaurus5928]

Im thinking it's that word that rhymes ruta ladre and conceição is being intentionally daft. I would be utterly shocked if Portuguese doesn't have an equivalent. I can not even conceive of that as a real possibility.

[@SoundIife]

It has like 5 lmao

[@vitormanuelfernandes5353]

the translation is "filho da puta" and conceição is the kind of guy to use it all the time

[@Platplays767]

Never thought I'd see Zealand talking about my team's coach. Yeah, Conceição is very temperamental.

[@brgracio]

Portuguese guy here (disclaimer: Sporting supporter, but I think Sérgio is a very good coach). The *mother* something insults are very similar in both languages and, as a Portuguese person even if you speak only basic Spanish, they are very easy to understand. These insults are obviously never aimed at offending someone’s mother. Everyone understands this except the bully at the school backyard who is really just looking for an excuse to punch you, specially if you have something better than him, be it grades, more expensive clothes… or talented players. And Sérgio does really behave like a bully quite often. There are plenty images of him with the same body language, directed at other coaches, refs, journalists, etc. Plus (and I am quite aware this is a very long explanation for such a topic), Sérgio is a great embodiment of FC Porto’s culture. They have been very successful over the past 40 years starting from a place of “us versus them”, “set Lisbon on fire” (think of it as smaller scale Barcelona/Madrid rivalry). Sérgio takes this and makes it like the world is always conspiring against them.

[@miguelabreucoelho]

Saying that Sergio is a great embodiment of FC Porto's culture could only come from either a blind Porto fan, someone from outside Porto or someone who doesn't understand Porto. A lot of us do not identify with his attitude and demeanor and actually believe that he is another one who is tarnishing the TRUE spirit and values of FC Porto. It is true that we have the "us versus them" attitude a lot, but that has a background and a reason. Also, the "set Lisbon on fire" comes from the fact that that city and its clubs have been majorly carried on the shoulders of everyone and helped at every corner for decades. So please, don't pretend you understand Porto's culture nor spread your lopsided vision on it to other parts of the world.

[@stevedaytona]

Strangely enough in my FM24 save Concecaio threw an insult my way in a press conference. I succeeded him as Everton manager and he was asked his opinion and he said something along the lines of while I was doing well now, he was sure I wouldn't keep it up! (In a twist of fate I left Everton later and succeeded Arteta as Arsenal manager!)

[@adarbarrush]

As a porto fan I can tell you Sérgio conceição once started a fight while watching one of his kids play for portos youth teams because somebody in the stands cussed at the kid. As for the arteta incident regarding insulting Sérgio family, apparently it was his mother, and Sérgio lost both his parent when he was a teenager and its a no no for anyone to mention his parents

[@TurboThunda]

there is a 0% chance that arteta said anything deragatory about his mother. this guy has accused other reputable managers of similar stuff in the past, hes just a sore loser imo

[@adarbarrush]

@@TurboThunda arteta said as a regular insult in iberian culture that was " your mother's 🐱" as in go Crawl back into it, Sérgio took it too literally and shithoused the whole game

[@FlynnFalkner]

I have a one-sided rivalry with Serigo on FM, he always follows me to the leagues I go to, granted for the most part different teams or takes over from me after I leave and reaps the rewards from the foundation I built. Took from Lazio, goes on to win the Serie A after I just missed out twice among others. 🙄

[@gunaodegaia9082]

For some context, Conceição lost both his parents in his teens, football was all he had left and it basically became his life goal. Dude is hyper salty and sensitive, but there is a reason behind it.

[@itsyonasa]

This is the equivalent of "Arsenal aren't good as they think" in Football Manager

[@nicolascastillo7065]

Pep Arteta and Tuchel apparently "insult" him whenever he loses he says something about the opposing manager, it has also happened in Portugal

[@unphantom173]

i overslept but i was able to watch the shootout Luckily, i was confused around the end where they were a scuffle goin on like did i miss something? wtf

[@victornunez6001]

I think it might be just him being weird about the loss. But there are phrases in Spanish, at least in latin america where we say "puta madre" at the air to express frustration. It could've been a variation of that which is not directed at anybody .

[@poethalaw]

very enthusiastic hey guys 😂😂

[@kingextreme2529]

As a portuguese I think what probably happend is that Sergio (as good salty portuguese manager) just said the only couple of insults that he knows in spanish and it was taken way more seriously than it should. Eitherway its Sergios fault.

[@nunod3463]

The Porto managers has claimed the same thing two other times when he’s embarrassed himself with his post match behaviour. He’s used to getting away with his antics in the Portuguese League so forgets to behave himself in champions league.

[@miguelabreucoelho]

@@Yukooo108 exactly. Classic double standard to win a stupid argument. He gets away with it so much that he is constantly being suspended...

[@nicklikethesoup]

The fact that Sergio said the same thing about Tuchel & Chelsea, but instead of Spanish, it was English... Sergio has a language problem.

[@ThaGamingMisfit]

Here in Belgium we all know what type of person Sergio is, he was a real bad boy. I'm still astonished he managed to become somewhat of a decent grown up, but sometimes his natural personality has to come out, right.

[@Diogo-d1r]

In August 2023, in the beginning of this season, Porto was losing to Benfica 2-0 in the Portuguese Supercup final, and Sérgio Conceição received a red card for complaning with the referees. He refused to leave the pitch and the game was paused until the police force him to leave 😂. PS : He is a great coach, just a bad loser, I see him like another Diego Simeone.

[@nelsoncarvalho6338]

Classic Conceicao. The guy has more red cards than trophies. He is a great coach but a he’s crazy. I know as I’m a benfica fan

[@eirakari]

lol he prob said "hijo de p**a" or "p**a madre" which is pretty close in spanish and portuguese.. but it's just a common phrase, it's never actually meant to be directed at anyone's mother.. and this dude being portuguese knows it..

[@SuperJNG18]

The bleeps make me sad. I thought this channel was to escape those pesky rules!

[@fredred818]

Between what pep and arteta say in Spanish is more of a saying of frustration than an insult directed at another person. It’s used by everyone in Latin America in the same way. Porto’s coach I would say just has the language gap because he speaks Portuguese and not Spanish fluently.

[@Tytan-ow4wr]

[@CarlosThadeu]

As someone from brazil but knows a bit of spanish, I was trying to think of something in portuguese that could be misinterpreted... I mean, people say this is normal conceicao in the league but I dont watch it so i am coming from just a language thing... maybe he heard "filho da mae" (son of a mother) which usually is more tame and not wanting to say any slurs that is "filho da p..." (cant write it but basically son of a b...), that's the only thing related to mothers that I can think of 😂

forgot to put equivalent in spanish, but I think it would be hijo de una madre and hijo de una... dont know the slur in spanish, if it's different anyway

@@CarlosThadeu In Spanish it is "p**a madre" but we say it to the air as a frustration not directed at anyone. In fact, the word "p**a" can be used in too many ways and conjugations without being directed at a person, The problem with Conceicao is that he always says the same thing when he loses.
