[edit] Quotations

Wikiquote has a collection of quotations related to:

Mizrahi's quoted statements in the press and his overexertion of cliches have helped him to become a symbol of mockery;

  • "I've nothing to prove and I proved it today on the field".
  • "I wanna play in Europe or in Spain"
  • "Every two games I've an average of one goal per one game"
  • "A.S. Roma has an excellent chance to win the Champions League, if they will keep up the current shape of last season"

Taking all these quotes and more, Mizrahi published a book titled "HuTsa Me'HeKshero" or "הוצא מהקשרו", meaning taken out of context.

Mizrahi is aware that he is joked about because of the things he says, but doesn't take it too seriously, remarking:

  • "In the aftermath, people will remember how much I scored, and not what I have said."

The mockery concerning Mizrahi's quotes is similar to the mockery and book concerning Francesco Totti in Italy.
