Raminphilippines Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 Watching Cocu's post match interview after the Hull game I noticed a huge improvement in his English. When he first came to Derby it was painful listening to his interviews as he seemed like he was translating every line as he went. I did think at the time he would struggle to inspire the team because of his poor English. Could it be that the team is now more inspired because Cocu's English has improved and so is easier to listen to? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Sean Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I love the threads when we win ? To answer your question, I have noticed he is a lot more eloquent in English now than when he came here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

RadioactiveWaste Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I guess it's only natural as he's living and working here that the language becomes more fluent and natural. I doubt it'd be the only factor in communicating with the team and our form getting better, but i certainly don't think it hurts. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Gritstone Ram Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I think Steve McClaren showed how easy it was to pick up the Dutch language. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Dimmu Posted January 19, 2020 Share Posted January 19, 2020 I've also thought about this for a while. It also helps that team is winning, his whole bodylanguage is way, way more relaxed at the moment. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Anything from anybody sounds perfectly good English after that other than Waggers dialect which is probably more Dutch than Cocu 's Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
