“In our Federation training centre there are three showers that don’t work and one of us can only use it when the other has finished.

“At the Colo Colo stadium, then, we turn on the showers and are showered in our own excrement. Is this a national team or what?”

Well, maybe they can afford new showers when they eventually make a record sale with Pizzaro. Record transfer is still just €8.7m with Matias Fernandez to Villarreal in 2006.

Crazy. Biggest and richest club in Chile and their ownership can’t even have proper functioning showers.

Why is this coming out now? This has been known with Abramovich since 2007-2008 when Marsherano and Tevez were brought to West Ham.

Abramovich not only owned ‘Leiston Holdings Limited’ and partner with Zahavi, but he also had a 10-15% minor stake in Media Sport Investment Limited which was owned by Kia Joorabchain.
