pete 2,499 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 PENA'S PURSUIT Rangers boss Pedro Caixinha reveals Carlos Pena has been given a special training regime to get him ready for first-team action The Mexican international - one of nine summer signings made by Caixinha - joined Gers from Liga MX side Guadalajara NEW Rangers attacker Carlos Pena has been given a special training regime after boss Pedro Caixinha admitted he was struggling to reach the “level” required at Ibrox. The Mexico international was signed from Guadalajara for a fee reported to be £2.2million earlier this summer. Carlos Pena is nicknamed ‘Gullit’ after Dutch legend Ruud But despite having spent almost seven weeks in Glasgow, the only public sighting of him in a Gers kit was a brief run out during their pre-season clash with Marseille. The 27-year-old was an unused substitute as Caixinha’s team kicked off the Ladbrokes Premiership season with victory at Motherwell. However the Light Blues boss hopes the extra workload he is putting Pena through will help him get up to speed quickly. Speaking ahead of tonight’s Betfred Cup clash with Dunfermline, he said: “Carlos is having special training in order for him to get the right rhythm and levels. “It’s specific work with him not just on the pitch but off it as well. “That’s because when it’s the right moment we want to give him the chance. “So far we think it’s not the right moment. “We want to have him involved as soon as possible but he is getting there. “He wants to be ready and we are working to make that happen.” https://www.thescottishsun.co.uk/sport/football/1395332/rangers-carlos-pena-pedro-caixinha-special-training/ 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
Darthter 542 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I got the impression from PC's presser that Pena is maybe struggling to settle here....maybe language, maybe more. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

colinstein 294 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 I would guess the "off the field" issue might be language 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
pete 2,499 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 Moving to a country where you don't speak the Language is not easy. I have now done it twice but in Holland many speak English so that was quite easy. With a lot of British contract workers there at the time I arrived it was party time every weekend. I doubt many in Glasgow speak Spanish. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

calscot 0 Posted August 9, 2017 Share Posted August 9, 2017 somos la gente hola, hola nosotros los ninos guillermo Niño is a bit young - muchacho? I'm currently learning Spanish so it's a nice wee exercise to give my take on a translated version, with some artistic licence to fit it in to the rhythm and rhyme especially as Spanish has a lot more syllables: Hola, somos los Guille Muchachos. Hola, nos con- ocerán por los ruidos. Vadeamos en sangre F*nian. ¡Rindanse o morirán! Porque, somos los 'Derry Muchachos. Which means: Hello, we are the Billy Boys. Hello, you'll know us by the noises. We wade in F*ian blood. Surrender or you'll die. Because we are the 'Derry Boys. Or a more literal translation (but try singing it!): Hola, hola, somos los Muchachos Guille Hola, hola, ustedes nos conocerán por nuestro ruido Estamos hasta los rodillas en sangre F*nian. ¡Rindanse o morirán! Porque, somos los Brigton Derry Muchachos. 0 Quote Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
