      Hi mr jay Mike I want to tell that I pronuced 7 player correctly KDB, Jesus,gundogan,Virgil van dijk , sokratis papastathopulos,S.kjær & ole Gunnar solskjær. I spelt most toughest among them sokratis papastathopulos bcoz I knew his pronunciation as I seen it before in bundesliga official channel and by seeing burno pronunciation I was shoked and I like the way u put Bulbasaur in the middle of vid 🤣🤣🤣 and then telling absolutely no.

    Okay then, as a Pole, I feel that is my duty to teach you here how to pronounce some names of Polish footballers...
    At the start, some unpopular (in English) rules that Polish language has:
    1. Polish *"W"* is exactly English *"V"* (same in German)
    2. Polish *"Ł"* is exactly English *"W"*
    3. Polish *"SZ"* is exactly English *"SH"* (or "Ś", it's simply a bit softer)
    4. Polish *"CZ"* is exactly English *"CH"* (or "Ć", it's simply a bit softer)
    5. Polish *"CH"* is the same as English and Polish *"H"*
    6. Polish *"RZ"* is the same as Polish *"Ż"*, and is similar to Chinese *"ZH"* sound (a harder "sh")
    7. Polish *"E"* is always *"E"* (like in word "Enterprise")
    8. Polish *"A"* is always *"A"* (like in word "bArbie")
    9. Polish *"i"* is always like English *"EE"* (double "e")
    10. Polish *"Ń"* is the same as Spanish *"Ñ"*
    11. Polish *"Y"* is (OMG idk how to explain it, but I'll try) something like *"U"* in De Bruyne's name
    12. Polish *"J"* is the same as English *"Y"*
    13. Polish *"U"* is the same as *"Ó"* and is exactly English *"OO"* (double "o")
    14. Polish *"C"* sound is like English *"TS"* sound; English "Tsar" is Polish "Car" and is pronounced almost exactly the same 😉
    15. Polish *"Ę"* (nasal "E") is almost like *"EN"* in everyday speaking
    16. Polish *"Ą"* (nasal "E") is basically the sound for French word for *"One"*, for Ligue 1 everyone in Poland says "Lig Ą" :D
    Let's begin with the hardest (most polisz) ones:
    1. Jakub Błaszczykowski
    /Yah-koob Bwah-sh-chyh-kohv-skee/
    2. Wojciech Szczęsny
    /Vhoy-chyehh Sh-chen-snyh/
    3. Łukasz Piszczek
    /Woo-kahsh Peesh-check/
    Okay, now the "normal" ones:
    4. the Polish GOAT
    Robert Lewandowski
    /Roh-behrt Leh-vahn-dohv-skee/
    5. Piotr Zieliński
    /Pyoh-tr Zyehl-eeñ-skee/
    6. Kamil Grosicki
    /Kah-meel Groh-shee-tskee/
    Okay, that's enough for today, it is 1:23 AM in Poland now
    Love from Szczecin city! ❤
    (/Sh-cheh-tcheen Myah-stoh/) 😅
    (Miasto is city) :D

    Just to clarify that the 's' at the end of 'Fernandes' is read as a short 'sh' sound, not a 'j' sound.
    The same applies to pretty much every portuguese word that ends with 's'.

      Gonçalo Guedes is one I hear mispronounced a lot. It's Gon (but the 'o' is closed like in "money")-sah-loo Ghe (like in "ghetto")-dsh (like in Fernandes).
      As for João, I can't really come up with a phonetic equivalent but the "ão" is pretty similar to the "on" in Gonçalo, so I guess Joo-om. And Félix is not pronounced Felix, it's Feh (as in "fetch")-lix.

      As a native portuguese speaker I can explain the Bruno Fernandes pronounciation better:
      In portuguese language, it matters a lot to find the main syllable in a word. The main syllable allows you to pronounce the vowels in it openly, while the other syllables you pronounce with vowels closed and with more pace.
      So, main syllables in Bruno Fernandes are "Bru" (broo in english pronounciation) and "nan" (na(n), will get back to it in a second)
      Anyway, all of those 2 syllables you pronounce slower while "no" and "fer" "des" you pronounce quicker with closed vowels.
      Now, how to pronounce the close vowels: O = u (which is same as english oo again),
      So, you already know that its going to be Broonoo the 1st name.
      Now the 2nd name
      Closed vowel: E = hardest to explain but its a close vowel as a ee or oo english. If you try to do ee and oo over and over, you notice that the mouth stays almost closed but the tongue moves back and forth for each sound. Our closed e is when the tongue is in the middle. If you speak turkish its the "ı", russian is "ы", romanian is "î".
      Now in the case of the r, when its solo its basically a rolled r but we just roll once, so almost like english, but instead of moving the tip of the tongue backwards, move it forward hitting the top of the mouth and its good.
      After that, the final S you can pronounce in 3 different ways (sh, z or j) depending on the 1st letter of next word but I'm going to say the most common that is the sh when consonant or z when vowel - meaning you can say Bruno Fernandez is offside and Bruno Fernandesh can score.
      The final part here is the main syllable "nan" that I said I would get to. On that syllable there is a nasal vowel "an" which is basically making the a and then closing the mouth, maintaining the sound.
      In the end its: Broonoo Frnandsh - IPA: bru.nu fɨɾ.ˈnɐ̃.dɨʃ
