Hi Ward,
Ferran was known in Spain as "Tiburón" (shark, for the anglos).
How are the media calling him now?
I don't know ... mr milliomaire ?
X-D Maybe... The salaries of elite (athletes) football players are exorbitant and, in a way, insulting, regardless of the ROI they generate.
You Spanish have weird ways ... there also was "El Buitre" ...
Yes, you're right. It might be to shorten the players' names, or to create a sense of familiarity... I honestly don't know why.
A reveure!!
