Why can't he just be Mad Frank, the Zabaleta that we all know and love.
PS. Where does he say 'City Don't Rate Him'?

On the other hand, Everton manager, Roberto Martinez has also been a commentator for the World Cup. During the most recent Argentina match, Roberto Martinez said that Pablo Zabaleta is one of the very best right backs in England and also, definitely one of the best in the world! Roberto Martinez has both played and managed at a top level, so I'd say that Roberto's praise for Pablo is far more meaningful and accurate than any criticism from Tim Vickery, who has never played professionally! Vickery has lived in Brazil since the 90's and like many residents of Brazil, he is very biased against and resentful towards the Argentinian footballers!
