Notice how the German’s treat their audience with respect and assume they have the language skills to understand English, we Brits should really be ashamed in that respect. If a German player couldn’t speak the langauge hear,we’d have a translator if they interviewed him in German al hell would break loose, Farage would drop his binoculars into the Channel with rage at us re-joining the EU

Dier’s accent is quite a common phenomenon, it’s called “mirroring” I think. It’s definitely not confined to footballers. It might involve a shift in accent, or some other behaviours that “mirror” the person you’re talking to.
