If there is one area where English supporters are extremely strong, it is this: creating songs for their players, very quickly, by recycling more or less known melodies. Our summer favorite? “I want to dance with Sangaré”, fans from Brentford, for the former Lensois Mamadou Sangaré, very quickly adopted.
In Liverpool, there were the classics of recent years, with songs for Virgil van Dijk, Mohamed Salah, Roberto Firmino and Luis Diaz. Bradley Barcola didn’t have to wait long to get his.
Barcola, an old song recycled
Entering the game in the 64th minute, the former PSG player was able to hear his new song coming from the visiting park of the Reds, who were away to Ipswich (2-0 victory). The lyrics are quite simple: “Bradley, Bradley Barcola!” He runs on the wing for me, du du dudu du. »
Immediately, some specialists recognized an old song by Reds supporters, dedicated to Maxi Rodriguez, the Argentinian international who played at Anfield between 2010 and 2012. The words and tune are the same, only the player’s name changes of course.
And for those who are interested, this song is based on the theme song of “Heartbeat”, a British detective series broadcast between 1992 and 2010, the plot of which takes place in the 1960s.
