for Cristiano Ronaldo.

History boys indeed. A hat-trick!
The biggest Chelsea celebration of | 0:00:33 | 0:00:41 | |
the season.
Ladies and gentlemen we are in the | 0:00:41 | 0:00:46 | |
thick of the awards season but never
mind the Bastos, the Oscars, all the | 0:00:46 | 0:00:51 | |
stars are out in force for the a
list this week. | 0:00:51 | 0:01:00 | |
It is winning, that is what I always
wanted to do. He has done it again. | 0:01:01 | 0:01:11 | |
It is a dream for me to win the
Premier League here. | 0:01:13 | 0:01:20 | |
When you say football, you mean
soccer? | 0:01:26 | 0:01:32 | |
Definitely football focus. We also
hear from the Brighton goalkeeper | 0:01:32 | 0:01:38 | |
Matt Ryan and Clem visits from.
Plenty to talk about with these | 0:01:38 | 0:01:44 | |
couple of A listers. Cable -- Kevin
Qaboun and Paul Clement. These are | 0:01:44 | 0:01:50 | |
your Premier League fixtures this
weekend and today is a big day at | 0:01:50 | 0:01:55 | |
the bottom. Newcastle make a 700
mile round trip to Bournemouth. | 0:01:55 | 0:02:00 | |
Brighton host Swansea and it is West
Brom against Huddersfield at the | 0:02:00 | 0:02:04 | |
Hawthorns. Mourinho and can't meet
at Old Trafford tomorrow and there's | 0:02:04 | 0:02:09 | |
also the League Cup final at Wembley
between Arsenal and Manchester City. | 0:02:09 | 0:02:13 | |
But with start with the man who has
spent half his life scoring goals at | 0:02:13 | 0:02:17 | |
the top level. We sent former
team-mate Kevin Gill banned for a | 0:02:17 | 0:02:23 | |
glimpse into territory. What is it
like being Wayne Rooney? Quite | 0:02:23 | 0:02:28 | |
boring. Putting the kids to bed.
Then training the next day. He has | 0:02:28 | 0:02:34 | |
done it again!
I'll just want to congratulate you | 0:02:34 | 0:02:42 | |
on your new baby boy. How are you
feeling question great. A new | 0:02:42 | 0:02:46 | |
addition to the family. And another
boy. It is great, the other lads | 0:02:46 | 0:02:53 | |
have enjoyed having him around the
last few days. And just settling | 0:02:53 | 0:02:56 | |
back down now. How do you feel when
they watch you play for Everton, is | 0:02:56 | 0:03:02 | |
it important to you? Very important,
growing up I was an Everton fan | 0:03:02 | 0:03:08 | |
going to the games with my dad.
Always something I wanted to do to | 0:03:08 | 0:03:13 | |
let my kids see me play for Everton
and in the future going to games | 0:03:13 | 0:03:16 | |
with them as well. It is a big part
of my life and always has been. And | 0:03:16 | 0:03:20 | |
great to be back here and for the
kids to be able to watch me play. | 0:03:20 | 0:03:26 | |
What do they say to you after games
when they have watched you? Just my | 0:03:26 | 0:03:31 | |
eldest, really, if I do not play
well or whatever he reminds you. He | 0:03:31 | 0:03:36 | |
is clued in now? Onto everything in
football, obsessed with it. So if | 0:03:36 | 0:03:42 | |
you do not have a good game he is
the first to tell me. Do you feel | 0:03:42 | 0:03:46 | |
less pressure coming back to Everton
because you're in a unique | 0:03:46 | 0:03:50 | |
situation, how you burst onto the
scene, you left, now you have come | 0:03:50 | 0:03:54 | |
back. More or less pressure? In the
summer when I left Manchester United | 0:03:54 | 0:04:00 | |
it would be easy for me to go
abroad, to go to China or else. See | 0:04:00 | 0:04:06 | |
out the last few years of my career
earning money. That is just not me, | 0:04:06 | 0:04:13 | |
I need that pressure, that desire to
play. It been lost if I've chosen | 0:04:13 | 0:04:21 | |
the other option. So to come back to
Everton, there was no more pressure | 0:04:21 | 0:04:28 | |
on me than anywhere else. I almost
wanted to prove myself again. To the | 0:04:28 | 0:04:34 | |
Everton fans and help the club move
forward and when trophies. It was | 0:04:34 | 0:04:44 | |
the perfect fit for me and hopefully
we can do that in the next couple of | 0:04:44 | 0:04:47 | |
years. The start of the season, the
fixtures were tough. But as a group | 0:04:47 | 0:04:55 | |
of players, I just do not think we
applied ourselves in the right way | 0:04:55 | 0:05:00 | |
during the games. Why do you think
that was? I don't know, it was | 0:05:00 | 0:05:08 | |
tough, it was my first few games
back and it was tough to put your | 0:05:08 | 0:05:13 | |
finger on why that was happening. We
had to get it together quick. We got | 0:05:13 | 0:05:17 | |
better results and if we can sort
out the away form, a couple of | 0:05:17 | 0:05:26 | |
points off seventh place has got to
be realistically the goal for the | 0:05:26 | 0:05:29 | |
season. What can you achieve over
however long you have left playing? | 0:05:29 | 0:05:37 | |
Everton for too many years has been
a club that has been finishing | 0:05:37 | 0:05:42 | |
sixth, seventh. What hits home, when
you see Leicester winning the | 0:05:42 | 0:05:49 | |
Premier League, which they deserved,
but Everton is a much bigger club | 0:05:49 | 0:05:54 | |
than Leicester. And Everton has to
move forward and I want to be part | 0:05:54 | 0:05:59 | |
of that. We have owners in place
willing to back the club and I think | 0:05:59 | 0:06:05 | |
Everton can be a major force in
English football again. And | 0:06:05 | 0:06:10 | |
hopefully I can be here to see that
happening. Wayne Rooney has done it | 0:06:10 | 0:06:15 | |
again! Given the amount of games you
played do have a field there has to | 0:06:15 | 0:06:21 | |
be some time in your head when you
think I cannot necessarily do that | 0:06:21 | 0:06:25 | |
any more. Obviously that time will
come, I am an honest player, if I | 0:06:25 | 0:06:31 | |
feel I'm not good enough to play
then I would not put myself in the | 0:06:31 | 0:06:39 | |
position to keep trying. If I'm not
good enough to blame the team that | 0:06:39 | 0:06:42 | |
will be would be the time when I
probably would finish playing. I'm | 0:06:42 | 0:06:46 | |
not going to be explosive player I
was. And of course my game will have | 0:06:46 | 0:06:51 | |
to change. I think the best role for
me and for the team is me playing in | 0:06:51 | 0:06:58 | |
the middle of the pitch. I think it
is the best for me and also will | 0:06:58 | 0:07:06 | |
benefit the team. What is it that
motivates you every day to continue | 0:07:06 | 0:07:12 | |
to play at the level your act? It is
winning, but I've always wanted to | 0:07:12 | 0:07:19 | |
do obviously as a 16-year-old when I
came through, I'm playing to win. I | 0:07:19 | 0:07:24 | |
want to try to help Everton move
forward as a club and hopefully I | 0:07:24 | 0:07:28 | |
can be part of that. He speaks
really well. 208 Premier League | 0:07:28 | 0:07:36 | |
goals and counting. You turned up at
Everton the season after he had | 0:07:36 | 0:07:40 | |
burst onto the scene. You had a chat
again this week. How have you seen | 0:07:40 | 0:07:45 | |
him develop over that long time? It
is how mature and he is now, of | 0:07:45 | 0:07:51 | |
course that happens in life but the
pressure and scrutiny he has been | 0:07:51 | 0:07:54 | |
under through his whole playing
career. It was almost a bit of a | 0:07:54 | 0:07:59 | |
buzz for me when I first went to
Everton to be playing with this | 0:07:59 | 0:08:03 | |
superstar. Everyone was talking
about him. Exactly, and it was a | 0:08:03 | 0:08:09 | |
name that David Moyes mentioned to
me as soon as I came through the | 0:08:09 | 0:08:13 | |
door, wait until you see him
training, his attitude. Of course he | 0:08:13 | 0:08:17 | |
had everything. Look at the calibre
of the goals he scored his workrate, | 0:08:17 | 0:08:22 | |
everything. That class and skill he
possesses. But the way he has mature | 0:08:22 | 0:08:28 | |
it has been the most impressive
thing given the scrutiny he has | 0:08:28 | 0:08:31 | |
always been under. If you are an
opposition manager playing against a | 0:08:31 | 0:08:36 | |
team with Wayne Rooney in it.
Midfield these days. Would you be | 0:08:36 | 0:08:41 | |
more concerned now of seeing him in
that position? He's a different type | 0:08:41 | 0:08:47 | |
of player to where he was aged 16,
17, where he was leading the line is | 0:08:47 | 0:08:52 | |
number nine. He playing in the
position is now, off the striker or | 0:08:52 | 0:08:58 | |
midfield and that is where he sees
his strengths. And some managers see | 0:08:58 | 0:09:03 | |
him being more influential in a
slightly deeper position. Because as | 0:09:03 | 0:09:08 | |
you get older you lose that dynamic
pace. Well Wayne Rooney in his | 0:09:08 | 0:09:13 | |
assessment of what Everton have did
this season, it has been a strange | 0:09:13 | 0:09:18 | |
season. How do you assess where they
are at the moment? Clearly they had | 0:09:18 | 0:09:23 | |
a difficult start and in quite a bit
of trouble at the bottom of the | 0:09:23 | 0:09:27 | |
league, then they made a change and
they have that period where they | 0:09:27 | 0:09:30 | |
could not find the manager. The
results were up and down in that | 0:09:30 | 0:09:35 | |
period and then Sam came in. Got
some great results early on. Now it | 0:09:35 | 0:09:40 | |
is about pushing onto the end of the
season and having a really good top | 0:09:40 | 0:09:44 | |
half finish. I think they're
targeting seven and realistically | 0:09:44 | 0:09:50 | |
that is where they're at. It is
about the next couple of seasons | 0:09:50 | 0:09:53 | |
trying to push on from there. What
about him as an individual, you have | 0:09:53 | 0:09:59 | |
known him for a long time. Many
people have been impressed with him | 0:09:59 | 0:10:05 | |
recently as a pundit. He could do
that if he wanted to but he seems to | 0:10:05 | 0:10:09 | |
have a passion to be involved in
day-to-day basis in football. Could | 0:10:09 | 0:10:15 | |
he be a coach? I can see that with
him, he has a love for Everton, what | 0:10:15 | 0:10:20 | |
it means to him. You could see him
may be progressing into some kind of | 0:10:20 | 0:10:26 | |
coaching capacity straightaway. And
then who's to say could not manage | 0:10:26 | 0:10:30 | |
the club and future years. He is
definitely mature enough, he has a | 0:10:30 | 0:10:34 | |
lot to learn and certainly the
intricacies of coaching management. | 0:10:34 | 0:10:41 | |
But he's now at the stage where he
could go to that level. You think he | 0:10:41 | 0:10:46 | |
could make that jump? You have seen
this in your managerial career, it | 0:10:46 | 0:10:52 | |
is their only a small portion of
players that can make that step into | 0:10:52 | 0:10:57 | |
being a successful manager? The
first thing is you really need to | 0:10:57 | 0:11:00 | |
want to do it and you have to have
that drive and determination to put | 0:11:00 | 0:11:05 | |
in the hours to ultimately make a
change in your career. Because | 0:11:05 | 0:11:08 | |
managing and coaching is not
playing, it is very different. But | 0:11:08 | 0:11:12 | |
he has a great head start because of
all the experience he's had. 16 | 0:11:12 | 0:11:17 | |
years old, up until now. You end up
thinking he is older than he is but | 0:11:17 | 0:11:22 | |
he is 32, good years ahead of him.
He has mature incredibly. Made some | 0:11:22 | 0:11:27 | |
mistakes along the way as we all
have. But he has a lot to offer now | 0:11:27 | 0:11:32 | |
and I'm sure in the future as well.
Well they take on Watford this | 0:11:32 | 0:11:36 | |
weekend. And we switched to the
other side of Merseyside and the | 0:11:36 | 0:11:40 | |
player who looks like the best 30
odd million you could ever spent. | 0:11:40 | 0:11:44 | |
Simon Crabtree has been to see Mo
Salah. One man meant -- went to mow. | 0:11:44 | 0:11:56 | |
Mohamed Salah, he is through and
scores brilliantly! He finds the | 0:11:56 | 0:12:05 | |
back of the net! Mo Salah has done
it again! Mo Salah has scored for | 0:12:05 | 0:12:09 | |
Liverpool full stop every game the
goal for Mo Salah. So far so good | 0:12:09 | 0:12:18 | |
this season. What has changed to
bring this fantastic Mo Salah? You | 0:12:18 | 0:12:24 | |
know for a long time I tried every
day to improve myself. And I think | 0:12:24 | 0:12:32 | |
that has worked every year if you
see my goals and everything I did | 0:12:32 | 0:12:36 | |
the last four or five years, every
year is better than the year before. | 0:12:36 | 0:12:42 | |
Has Jurgen Klopp had an influence as
well? Of course, since I came here | 0:12:42 | 0:12:46 | |
he change something in me. More than
in any other club. But now the | 0:12:46 | 0:12:56 | |
difference between me and five years
ago, everything has changed. | 0:12:56 | 0:13:00 | |
Mentally and physically and
everything. I'm trying to improve | 0:13:00 | 0:13:03 | |
every day. I like to play in the
Premier League, I like the Premier | 0:13:03 | 0:13:08 | |
League a lot. And now I'm playing
here and enjoying my football. | 0:13:08 | 0:13:19 | |
here and enjoying my football. Does
he go for it? He scores and | 0:13:19 | 0:13:23 | |
Manchester City are surely going to
be beaten here at Anfield today. | 0:13:23 | 0:13:26 | |
When I was younger I used to go for
the half hours from my village to | 0:13:26 | 0:13:33 | |
play in Cairo and come back. It was
not easy. I suffered a lot for that. | 0:13:33 | 0:13:38 | |
I used to leave school, nine o'clock
in the morning and did not go back | 0:13:38 | 0:13:44 | |
until 930 in the evening. The day
after the same. I gave football all | 0:13:44 | 0:13:49 | |
my life. I only think about
football. That is what is in my mind | 0:13:49 | 0:13:54 | |
all the time. I work hard every day
in the gym. I sleep good, ie it | 0:13:54 | 0:13:58 | |
good. You know, I try to be
professional. -- ie eat good. | 0:13:58 | 0:14:12 | |
Bellerin, and Mo Salah away for
Liverpool. Can he finished this | 0:14:12 | 0:14:18 | |
time? Liverpool three, Arsenal will.
With this kind of quality they make | 0:14:18 | 0:14:29 | |
things easier for me, they helped me
a lot. I'm enjoying my moment here | 0:14:29 | 0:14:35 | |
and enjoying playing football for
this club. What can Liverpool | 0:14:35 | 0:14:39 | |
achieved between now and the end of
the season, at least 12 more | 0:14:39 | 0:14:43 | |
matches. Champions League as well,
what are you thinking? In football | 0:14:43 | 0:14:48 | |
anything can happen, you never know
what is going to happen. But if you | 0:14:48 | 0:14:51 | |
do not have a dream, if you do not
sacrifice and work hard to achieve | 0:14:51 | 0:14:56 | |
something, you will never get it. So
we will work hard for the Champions | 0:14:56 | 0:15:02 | |
League to do something special. I
came here to win titles. I came here | 0:15:02 | 0:15:10 | |
to help the club win titles. I know
everyone here works hard to win | 0:15:10 | 0:15:17 | |
something for the club, for the
fans, for ourselves. It is my dream | 0:15:17 | 0:15:21 | |
to win the Premier League, honestly.
I want to win it with this club. | 0:15:21 | 0:15:29 | |
Ito about being very careful of what
he eats, but we have got some | 0:15:29 | 0:15:32 | |
footage of him in a chippy! In his
defence, it was an advert for | 0:15:32 | 0:15:39 | |
Egyptian TV, I doubt he went home
with a battered sausage, but really | 0:15:39 | 0:15:43 | |
enjoying his football at the moment,
and some of the statistics, he | 0:15:43 | 0:15:48 | |
averages a goal or assist every 64
minutes in Aprilia league game at | 0:15:48 | 0:15:51 | |
Anfield this season. I mean, to play
against, he must be terrifying. Peas | 0:15:51 | 0:15:58 | |
got a fantastic scoring record,
playing in a great front three at | 0:15:58 | 0:16:01 | |
the moment - dangerous in all
positions. But he has | 0:16:01 | 0:16:06 | |
the moment - dangerous in all
positions. But he has got pace, | 0:16:06 | 0:16:09 | |
power, technically strong, and I
think what I like about him as well, | 0:16:09 | 0:16:13 | |
the way he interviews, and I bumped
into him once in London, this | 0:16:13 | 0:16:16 | |
season. He has got a great
temperament, really nice young man. | 0:16:16 | 0:16:20 | |
It is a nice story, with the
difficulties he had at Chelsea, he | 0:16:20 | 0:16:25 | |
went away, reinvented himself,
comeback here, one of the best | 0:16:25 | 0:16:28 | |
players in the league. Was it in a
fish and chip shop in London?! He | 0:16:28 | 0:16:35 | |
talks, Kevin, about winning trophies
with Liverpool, and he has taken a | 0:16:35 | 0:16:39 | |
bit of flak for that, but it shows
the desire - not just personal | 0:16:39 | 0:16:44 | |
desire to be the best he can be, but
to achieve things with that side. | 0:16:44 | 0:16:49 | |
Hwyl fawr off title winning and a
trophy winning team are they? -- | 0:16:49 | 0:16:53 | |
hwyl | 0:16:53 | 0:16:58 | |
hwyl they have got a real chance
because of that front three. What he | 0:17:00 | 0:17:04 | |
has brought to the side, | 0:17:04 | 0:17:11 | |
has brought to the side, they didn't
have an option for people who could | 0:17:12 | 0:17:15 | |
double in tight situations. When
sides are deep against them, he has | 0:17:15 | 0:17:20 | |
got the ability to beat them. | 0:17:20 | 0:17:22 | |
sides are deep against them, he has
got the ability to beat them. | 0:17:22 | 0:17:23 | |
Liverpool have got a chance to go
all the way in that competition. You | 0:17:23 | 0:17:28 | |
have played against the best teams
this season, how good are Liverpool | 0:17:28 | 0:17:32 | |
in comparison to Manchester City,
United and the others? It is a good | 0:17:32 | 0:17:38 | |
question, because Tottenham have got
good front players as well. As a | 0:17:38 | 0:17:44 | |
three, manual are the best, very
close to Man City. -- | 0:17:44 | 0:17:52 | |
close to Man City. -- Man United.
Klopp has to take credit for the way | 0:17:53 | 0:17:57 | |
he has deployed Salah. Sometimes you
can end up deep against the | 0:17:57 | 0:18:00 | |
opposition full-backs, but they
press very high and they win the | 0:18:00 | 0:18:04 | |
ball is high up the pitch, so they
are in a position to score. It is a | 0:18:04 | 0:18:10 | |
fabulous record for a player who is
not a striker. On to West Ham, the | 0:18:10 | 0:18:15 | |
25th anniversary of the death of
Bobby Moore, a commemoratives mural | 0:18:15 | 0:18:20 | |
has been unveiled at the London
Stadium today, there it is for you, | 0:18:20 | 0:18:26 | |
and they are taking on Liverpool
today. In terms of the current crop, | 0:18:26 | 0:18:31 | |
Arnautovic, Hernandez, David Moyes
has turned things around, and many | 0:18:31 | 0:18:34 | |
people thought it wouldn't work out.
Certainly Arnautovic started this | 0:18:34 | 0:18:40 | |
season, was not quite added, and I
think Hernandez has scored two in | 0:18:40 | 0:18:45 | |
his last two, hasn't he? He is
getting the best out of | 0:18:45 | 0:18:48 | |
his last two, hasn't he? He is
getting the best out of the most | 0:18:48 | 0:18:48 | |
creative players. Always a difficult
thing to do in football, but | 0:18:48 | 0:18:53 | |
Arnautovic has been the standout
performer, just seeing how he has | 0:18:53 | 0:18:57 | |
grown in confidence, now we are
seeing him as the player we know he | 0:18:57 | 0:19:01 | |
is. All of a sudden, he is getting
the best out of those players, and | 0:19:01 | 0:19:10 | |
going to Liverpool today, Anfield
will be difficult. I think we know | 0:19:10 | 0:19:13 | |
going to Liverpool today, Anfield
will be difficult. I think we know | 0:19:13 | 0:19:14 | |
that. They may have to play a
different style today, but you can | 0:19:14 | 0:19:17 | |
rely on them to get you in the game
when you are up against it. Let's | 0:19:17 | 0:19:22 | |
turn our attention to the lunchtime
kick-off in the Premier League, | 0:19:22 | 0:19:26 | |
under way shortly at the King Power,
where Steve Bower will be watching | 0:19:26 | 0:19:29 | |
Leicester take on second bottom
Stoke, the worst away record in the | 0:19:29 | 0:19:33 | |
division. | 0:19:33 | 0:19:38 | |
division. Let's find out what is
happening with the teams. Stoke have | 0:19:40 | 0:19:42 | |
it? They did only six points away
from the potteries, and this is a | 0:19:42 | 0:19:45 | |
far from straightforward task to try
to improve that form, Leicester have | 0:19:45 | 0:19:47 | |
lost only twice here since Claude
Puel succeeded Craig Shakespeare in | 0:19:47 | 0:19:50 | |
October. There have been chinks of
light for the visitors since Paul | 0:19:50 | 0:19:54 | |
Lambert's arrival, five points from
12, one more than the previous 24 | 0:19:54 | 0:19:59 | |
under Mark Hughes, but today they
have to stop Jamie Vardy scoring for | 0:19:59 | 0:20:02 | |
the sixth match in a row. The lesser
team shows two changes from their FA | 0:20:02 | 0:20:07 | |
Cup victory over Sheffield United,
Marc Albrighton and Matty James | 0:20:07 | 0:20:11 | |
start, as does Riyad Mahrez.
Interesting news from Stoke, three | 0:20:11 | 0:20:17 | |
changes in all, Ryan Shawcross and
Darren Fletcher are out, Erik | 0:20:17 | 0:20:22 | |
Pieters is on the bench, so a full
Premier League debut for the Greek | 0:20:22 | 0:20:25 | |
international Kosta Stafylidis, and
recalls for Martins Indi and | 0:20:25 | 0:20:31 | |
Cameron. 18-year-old striker
Campbell, son of Kevin, who scored | 0:20:31 | 0:20:40 | |
17 goals for the undo 23s so far
this season. -- under-23s. Thank | 0:20:40 | 0:20:52 | |
you, looks like lovely weather
today. Stoke were denied last time | 0:20:52 | 0:20:59 | |
out by a last-minute penalty stop by
Maty Ryan, the Aussie has become a | 0:20:59 | 0:21:03 | |
key factor in their survival plan,
and Mark Schwarzer has been to the | 0:21:03 | 0:21:06 | |
south coast to collar his
compatriot. | 0:21:06 | 0:21:12 | |
Ryan has made an exceptional save!
Good save by Ryan! | 0:21:12 | 0:21:22 | |
Good save by Ryan! Maty, thank you
for having it had with us, how are | 0:21:22 | 0:21:26 | |
you finding life on the south coast?
Pretty good, away from football it | 0:21:26 | 0:21:29 | |
is very pleasant, everyone refers to
it as a little London down here, | 0:21:29 | 0:21:34 | |
always things going on, enjoyable
place to live. Have you brought your | 0:21:34 | 0:21:40 | |
surfboard?! To be fair, it gets a
bit of a swell when the wind is | 0:21:40 | 0:21:43 | |
going, but the rocky beaches is
enough to turn me off and stay | 0:21:43 | 0:21:48 | |
inside! The first six games of the
season were probably the toughest | 0:21:48 | 0:21:51 | |
for you. How did you deal with that?
Obviously, past experience is that | 0:21:51 | 0:21:59 | |
you make mistakes and you have to
deal with it, but if you show a | 0:21:59 | 0:22:03 | |
little bit of weakness or you can't
handle that sort of adversity and | 0:22:03 | 0:22:07 | |
whatnot, perhaps it is not the sport
for you. When you made a mistake, it | 0:22:07 | 0:22:11 | |
is all about how you bounce back and
respond. It seems to have coincided | 0:22:11 | 0:22:17 | |
with Tim Krul arriving, I was at the
game at Newcastle at home, and all | 0:22:17 | 0:22:20 | |
the talk was that he would play
ahead of you. Did that galvanise | 0:22:20 | 0:22:24 | |
you, make you more determined to
perform well? That was your best | 0:22:24 | 0:22:28 | |
game up to that point.
Unfortunately, as you know, only one | 0:22:28 | 0:22:35 | |
of us can play, but whenever there
is competition. Some it lifts a | 0:22:35 | 0:22:40 | |
player's performance, obviously him
coming in, I guess it started me off | 0:22:40 | 0:22:44 | |
on that little run where perhaps I
got a few good performances under my | 0:22:44 | 0:22:50 | |
belt, started to grow, and I have
been Brighton's number one bit | 0:22:50 | 0:22:58 | |
better. The Stoke game was probably
the highest point for you at | 0:22:58 | 0:23:02 | |
Brighton? It was a bit of a funny
game to be honest, I didn't really | 0:23:02 | 0:23:08 | |
have much to do the whole game.
There was not shot on target from | 0:23:08 | 0:23:12 | |
Shaqiri, which was frustrating for a
goalkeeper, and then that crazy last | 0:23:12 | 0:23:16 | |
five minutes happened. Mat Ryan, can
he keep it out?! He can, and on the | 0:23:16 | 0:23:25 | |
rebound he cannot finish! What
drama! Obviously, saving a penalty | 0:23:25 | 0:23:31 | |
is close to the pinnacle moment for
any goalkeeper, very nice that I | 0:23:31 | 0:23:35 | |
could contribute in that moment. All
about momentum, undefeated in three | 0:23:35 | 0:23:41 | |
games, is it the point of the season
where you might look back and think, | 0:23:41 | 0:23:45 | |
that is where it began? Definitely,
I guess our relegation rivals at the | 0:23:45 | 0:23:50 | |
moment, if they beat us today, they
would go to the same points as us. | 0:23:50 | 0:23:55 | |
Focusing on the positives, we are
into the quarterfinal of the FA Cup | 0:23:55 | 0:24:02 | |
as well, so trying to ride that wave
at the minute, and we have got | 0:24:02 | 0:24:05 | |
another massive game this weekend
against Swansea, and we are under no | 0:24:05 | 0:24:09 | |
illusion that it is just because we
are at home, views will come. You | 0:24:09 | 0:24:14 | |
touched on it already, the momentum,
Swansea coming unbeaten, Liverpool | 0:24:14 | 0:24:18 | |
and Arsenal at home, and hopefully
we can do what is needed to get | 0:24:18 | 0:24:23 | |
three points. So the World Cup in
Russia, what are the expectations | 0:24:23 | 0:24:28 | |
going into this World Cup? We are
under no illusion that we will have | 0:24:28 | 0:24:31 | |
to play the three biggest games of
our lives if we want to progress in | 0:24:31 | 0:24:34 | |
the tournament. I wouldn't be a
footballer is, you know, I wasn't | 0:24:34 | 0:24:42 | |
confident in my personal ability and
the team that I was playing for, | 0:24:42 | 0:24:45 | |
that we can be competitive, but
saying it and doing it are two | 0:24:45 | 0:24:49 | |
different things. It will be up to
us at crunch time, you know, go and | 0:24:49 | 0:24:53 | |
walk the walk. Brighton are one of
11 teams, have a look at this, | 0:24:53 | 0:25:00 | |
involved in a fascinating battle at
the bottom. | 0:25:00 | 0:25:02 | |
Kevin, from a Brighton point of
view, they are on a bad run, but | 0:25:16 | 0:25:20 | |
unbeaten in five, which is a really
good time to get a bit of | 0:25:20 | 0:25:25 | |
solidarity, isn't it? It is, and
with Mat Ryan, we talked about his | 0:25:25 | 0:25:28 | |
defensive record, sorry, stopping
sides scoring. I will get it out for | 0:25:28 | 0:25:35 | |
you, don't worry! The defensive
record is excellent, you look at | 0:25:35 | 0:25:40 | |
Duncan and Duffy in front of him, as
a back four, very well organised. | 0:25:40 | 0:25:44 | |
Chris Hughton has done a great job
from the structure of the side and | 0:25:44 | 0:25:48 | |
how they stop side scoring against
them. It might be about how little | 0:25:48 | 0:25:53 | |
they concede whether they stay up.
Only teams in the top seven have | 0:25:53 | 0:25:57 | |
conceded fewer goals than Brighton.
When you look at Swansea now, how do | 0:25:57 | 0:26:02 | |
you reflect on your time there? Is
it still a frustration to you? That | 0:26:02 | 0:26:07 | |
he didn't get more of a chance? I
look at it in a number of different | 0:26:07 | 0:26:11 | |
ways. First of all, my period last
season when I went in, the team was | 0:26:11 | 0:26:17 | |
on 12 points, difficult situation,
you know, we picked up some great | 0:26:17 | 0:26:21 | |
results, and in the end maintained
our position in the Premier League, | 0:26:21 | 0:26:24 | |
so a very special time. This season,
start of this season, it was clearly | 0:26:24 | 0:26:28 | |
more frustrating. You know, the club
itself, this is the third relegation | 0:26:28 | 0:26:35 | |
battle that it has been in, and that
takes its toll on everybody. | 0:26:35 | 0:26:40 | |
Sometimes, when you change the
manager, the players get an | 0:26:40 | 0:26:43 | |
opportunity to hit the reset button
and go again. You know, the team has | 0:26:43 | 0:26:46 | |
picked up some really good results,
you know, particularly the result | 0:26:46 | 0:26:53 | |
against Liverpool and Arsenal at
home. And belief has come back into | 0:26:53 | 0:26:55 | |
the side, and they are very much
playing with confidence. You touched | 0:26:55 | 0:27:00 | |
on last season, just to drill down
into those statistics, you won four | 0:27:00 | 0:27:05 | |
of your first six games in charge,
Manager of the Month in January, | 0:27:05 | 0:27:09 | |
February? And then short-listed for
Manager of the Season as well last | 0:27:09 | 0:27:14 | |
time round. This is what happened at
the end of last season, tremendous | 0:27:14 | 0:27:18 | |
effort, and yet, within a few months
at the start of the next season, you | 0:27:18 | 0:27:22 | |
are seen as not the right man to
take the club forward. I wonder how, | 0:27:22 | 0:27:27 | |
personally, you reflect on that, not
wanting it to damage your own loss | 0:27:27 | 0:27:31 | |
of the anti-thoughts you have of
taking that into the next job you | 0:27:31 | 0:27:35 | |
are going to go for. -- and the
thoughts. Yeah, of course, and this | 0:27:35 | 0:27:39 | |
is the life of a manager. I have had
seven clubs in nine years, this is | 0:27:39 | 0:27:44 | |
the life of the modern coach, modern
manager, that you will have an | 0:27:44 | 0:27:49 | |
opportunity somewhere for maybe a
year, 18 months, two years, and then | 0:27:49 | 0:27:53 | |
you will move onto the next place.
You have to, you know, of course, | 0:27:53 | 0:27:59 | |
when you lose your job, there is a
certain amount of hurt, but then you | 0:27:59 | 0:28:04 | |
go through a period when you look
back in a more logical way at things | 0:28:04 | 0:28:08 | |
that might have affected you, things
that you had control of, things you | 0:28:08 | 0:28:12 | |
didn't have control of, and you try
to take those things in a positive | 0:28:12 | 0:28:16 | |
way for experiences that you have in
the future. I mean, I had a great | 0:28:16 | 0:28:20 | |
experience at Swansea, I liked the
players a lot, the chairman, Huw | 0:28:20 | 0:28:25 | |
Jenkins, passionate fans, and I
really hope they do well - I have no | 0:28:25 | 0:28:29 | |
bad feeling about what happened
there, another experience in my | 0:28:29 | 0:28:33 | |
journey. When you go in, you are
under so much pressure and scrutiny, | 0:28:33 | 0:28:37 | |
how you set the side up from the
defensive structure, yes, but you | 0:28:37 | 0:28:41 | |
had Gylfi Sigurdsson to provide
something different for you, you had | 0:28:41 | 0:28:47 | |
Jack Cork, big personalities and big
players, so was that the difference | 0:28:47 | 0:28:51 | |
from last season, that you have lost
big players and you couldn't replace | 0:28:51 | 0:28:54 | |
them with maybe players at that sort
of calibre to take you forward? Was | 0:28:54 | 0:28:58 | |
that the difference for you as well?
Maybe, it is always difficult to | 0:28:58 | 0:29:02 | |
say. If you knew the answers and
they were easy solutions, you do | 0:29:02 | 0:29:07 | |
them. Often in management, it is a
very complex situation, you are | 0:29:07 | 0:29:13 | |
dealing with a lot of different
moving parts. Clearly, Gylfi | 0:29:13 | 0:29:20 | |
Sigurdsson and Fernando Llorente
were key players in the squad last | 0:29:20 | 0:29:23 | |
season. But they went, we got
replacements in - for different | 0:29:23 | 0:29:28 | |
reasons, some worked initially, some
of those didn't. When I look back at | 0:29:28 | 0:29:33 | |
the results, the actual results that
we had were very, very close. I | 0:29:33 | 0:29:36 | |
think eight games out of the 12, 11
or 12 that I lost would just by one | 0:29:36 | 0:29:42 | |
goal. The margins are so fine. With
those margins in mind, I don't want | 0:29:42 | 0:29:47 | |
is a social media is to blame for
everything, but eight managers gone | 0:29:47 | 0:29:51 | |
in the Premier League already, does
the modern-day obsession with social | 0:29:51 | 0:29:54 | |
media contribute to somebody like
you and other managers losing their | 0:29:54 | 0:29:58 | |
jobs? Because clubs panicked? | 0:29:58 | 0:30:04 | |
I would like to think that owners
and chairmen are not affected by | 0:30:04 | 0:30:09 | |
that but the power of social media,
the media in general, it has an | 0:30:09 | 0:30:15 | |
effect on the fans and repercussions
that go through the football club. | 0:30:15 | 0:30:19 | |
In terms of my own position when I
first went to the club I did very | 0:30:19 | 0:30:23 | |
well but one thing, I did not think
I was the greatest manager and did | 0:30:23 | 0:30:29 | |
not get too excited. At the same
time I lost my job I do not all of a | 0:30:29 | 0:30:33 | |
sudden think I'm the worst manager.
That is how you're scene sometimes, | 0:30:33 | 0:30:38 | |
and it is the same with players
going from there today. It is | 0:30:38 | 0:30:42 | |
important to keep that middle ground
in these situations. More about your | 0:30:42 | 0:30:48 | |
future later. But onto another
whopper at the foot of the table, | 0:30:48 | 0:30:53 | |
bottom side West Brom and 17th
placed Huddersfield. John Motson is | 0:30:53 | 0:30:58 | |
at the Hawthorns. Bring us up to
date, how are West Brom preparing | 0:30:58 | 0:31:06 | |
for this today? Well the sun is
shining and I think the programme, | 0:31:06 | 0:31:12 | |
has he got a sense of humour or
sense of destiny? The front cover | 0:31:12 | 0:31:17 | |
today reflects the in 2005 when
Albion survived on the last day the | 0:31:17 | 0:31:25 | |
season, do you remember, with Bryan
Robson as manager. Some people here | 0:31:25 | 0:31:28 | |
think it could go down to the wire
again this season. Well you are fed | 0:31:28 | 0:31:33 | |
back to the last fortnight and it
has been turbulent at the Hawthorns. | 0:31:33 | 0:31:36 | |
Sackings at top level, chief
executive Gong, German gone. | 0:31:36 | 0:31:43 | |
Original chief executive Mark
Jenkins who had a good combination | 0:31:43 | 0:31:46 | |
with the old chairman, he is back
now. In addition to that upheaval | 0:31:46 | 0:31:53 | |
the Barcelona incident, I understand
that has been dealt with internally | 0:31:53 | 0:31:56 | |
now. Jonny Evans captain again
today. And then of course Alan | 0:31:56 | 0:32:01 | |
Pardew, his position. Having thought
about that and yesterday he said in | 0:32:01 | 0:32:05 | |
his press Conference, I have a bag
and a half packs. Albion might think | 0:32:05 | 0:32:11 | |
about making a change again, he has
only been here since November and do | 0:32:11 | 0:32:16 | |
they really want to go through the
whole process again, the Chinese | 0:32:16 | 0:32:20 | |
owners? Alan Pardew, his record here
is not great but look at the record | 0:32:20 | 0:32:28 | |
of West Brom over the last 12
months, not just Alan Pardew but | 0:32:28 | 0:32:34 | |
Tony Pulis as well. One win in 25 in
the Premier League and only three in | 0:32:34 | 0:32:39 | |
36. Almost a whole season. So you
could see the dilemma and understand | 0:32:39 | 0:32:46 | |
why this is more than just your
average six pointer. Huddersfield | 0:32:46 | 0:32:51 | |
themselves of course need points.
But this is West Brom desperately | 0:32:51 | 0:32:55 | |
needing to perform in front of their
own supporters today. I'm not a | 0:32:55 | 0:33:00 | |
geologist but people tell me that
the Hawthorns is the highest ground | 0:33:00 | 0:33:05 | |
above sea level in the whole of the
country. If that protects this clap | 0:33:05 | 0:33:10 | |
from fire and flood all well and
good. But I tell you what if they do | 0:33:10 | 0:33:14 | |
not win today there is nasty waters
of relegation is lapping around | 0:33:14 | 0:33:18 | |
their ankles. Magnificent, thank you
very much. Geology, geography, facts | 0:33:18 | 0:33:27 | |
as well. Well if Huddersfield stay
up this season, with the players | 0:33:27 | 0:33:33 | |
they have, that could be one of the
great Premier League achievements. | 0:33:33 | 0:33:37 | |
Right up with the best and until a
few weeks ago, the last game against | 0:33:37 | 0:33:41 | |
Bournemouth, you are thinking
they're going to go again but | 0:33:41 | 0:33:44 | |
another great performance than
against Bournemouth and right back | 0:33:44 | 0:33:47 | |
in it. A huge game today. I feel
West Brom need to win today to stay | 0:33:47 | 0:33:52 | |
up. And you can | 0:33:52 | 0:33:55 | |
see how it | 0:33:55 | 0:33:56 | |
unfolds. | 0:33:56 | 0:33:58 | |
You can see how it all unfolds
at the bottom over the course | 0:33:58 | 0:34:01 | |
of the afternoon on Final Score. | 0:34:01 | 0:34:02 | |
Big day of sport. | 0:34:02 | 0:34:03 | |
That's followed by the Calcutta Cup
clash at Murrayfield - | 0:34:03 | 0:34:06 | |
not to be missed. | 0:34:06 | 0:34:07 | |
Match of the Day will round
everything up at 10 30 tonight. | 0:34:07 | 0:34:10 | |
And after a couple of crackers last
weekend, there's more live FA Cup | 0:34:10 | 0:34:13 | |
football on Tuesday as Swansea
and Sheffield Wednesday fight it out | 0:34:13 | 0:34:16 | |
for a place in the Quarter Finals. | 0:34:16 | 0:34:17 | |
Before that Sunday's match
of the day features Tottenham's | 0:34:17 | 0:34:19 | |
trip to Crystal Palace,
and a rather enticing | 0:34:19 | 0:34:21 | |
one at Old Trafford. | 0:34:21 | 0:34:22 | |
Manchester United and Chelsea need
each other for the first time since | 0:34:22 | 0:34:28 | |
all that verbal jousting between the
managers. Because I do not behave as | 0:34:28 | 0:34:34 | |
a cloud on the touchline I have lost
my passion? You do not have to act | 0:34:34 | 0:34:41 | |
crazy to have the passion. Maybe he
was speaking about himself. Yes I | 0:34:41 | 0:34:47 | |
made mistakes in the past. What ever
happened to me is to be suspended | 0:34:47 | 0:34:52 | |
from matches. He was a little man in
the past, he is a little man in the | 0:34:52 | 0:35:02 | |
present and maybe he will be a
little man in the future. Then he | 0:35:02 | 0:35:07 | |
insulted me for a second time. But
now I am content. And Premy content | 0:35:07 | 0:35:17 | |
means end of the story. This is not
a problem for the club, it is a | 0:35:17 | 0:35:25 | |
problem between me and him. I will
not forget this. | 0:35:25 | 0:35:39 | |
It was two draws in two very
different Champions League games for | 0:35:48 | 0:35:52 | |
these two. A late one from Lionel
Messi Fort Hood Chelsea while | 0:35:52 | 0:35:57 | |
Manchester United had David De Gea
to thank for their stalemate in | 0:35:57 | 0:36:01 | |
Seville. You have faced both those
men in the opposition dugout. They | 0:36:01 | 0:36:05 | |
both tried to play down that kind of
fiery debate they had a few weeks | 0:36:05 | 0:36:09 | |
ago. What are they like to go toe to
toe with? For me it was a great | 0:36:09 | 0:36:16 | |
experience to go up against those
clubs and those managers. At Chelsea | 0:36:16 | 0:36:21 | |
when I worked in the Academy Jose
Mourinho was the manager and I got | 0:36:21 | 0:36:25 | |
to know him briefly and always
enjoyed watching his training. | 0:36:25 | 0:36:28 | |
Intrigued by him as a personality. A
couple of times I've come up against | 0:36:28 | 0:36:34 | |
Antonio and Chelsea. Both winners,
both very determined characters. | 0:36:34 | 0:36:40 | |
Antonio very passionate on the
sidelines. Jose Mourinho a little | 0:36:40 | 0:36:45 | |
bit calmer these days. A bit of a
war of words going on between them. | 0:36:45 | 0:36:50 | |
I'm going to the game tomorrow and
look forward to seeing the match of | 0:36:50 | 0:36:54 | |
course. I'm sure that will be quite
frosty. A lot of talk as well about | 0:36:54 | 0:37:01 | |
Paul Pogba, ill last week, dropped
in midweek, Jose Mourinho says | 0:37:01 | 0:37:07 | |
players need to end his trust. Where
are Manchester United with Paul | 0:37:07 | 0:37:11 | |
Pogba at the minute? Jose Mourinho
not have all -- not happy with the | 0:37:11 | 0:37:15 | |
role he has been playing, just look
at the substitutions against | 0:37:15 | 0:37:19 | |
Tottenham, Newcastle. Fans could say
he has not been playing in the right | 0:37:19 | 0:37:25 | |
place. I think with the way he has
come through he should be able to | 0:37:25 | 0:37:29 | |
play a disciplined role and play
from the base, midfield and | 0:37:29 | 0:37:33 | |
necessary for that I think he is
playing may be left of the three | 0:37:33 | 0:37:39 | |
midfield and sometimes I think
modern-day, with tactics you need to | 0:37:39 | 0:37:45 | |
adjust and play in a different way.
Maybe he needs to learn what Jose | 0:37:45 | 0:37:50 | |
Mourinho wants from him. But
whatever has happened between them, | 0:37:50 | 0:37:53 | |
and something has been broken
between them, and this needs to be | 0:37:53 | 0:38:00 | |
sorted quickly. Because it could go
on and on and then that fracture | 0:38:00 | 0:38:04 | |
that has happened is beyond repair.
If Paul Pogba was to star for | 0:38:04 | 0:38:11 | |
Manchester United, and again he was
great midweek and proved his worth | 0:38:11 | 0:38:13 | |
in recent games. 26 games for
Chelsea this season and half of them | 0:38:13 | 0:38:19 | |
as a substitute. But he can be a
matchwinner. He was fantastic | 0:38:19 | 0:38:24 | |
against Barcelona the other night.
Scored a crucial goal. Looked strong | 0:38:24 | 0:38:29 | |
and powerful. In other games I've
seen before, he is a talent. I | 0:38:29 | 0:38:34 | |
remember him at Schachter Donetsk, a
matchwinner. I'm surprised looking | 0:38:34 | 0:38:40 | |
back those statistics that he has
not been a more regular starter in | 0:38:40 | 0:38:43 | |
team. Along with one of the others,
Pedro or Morata. I think that is the | 0:38:43 | 0:38:53 | |
way to do it because Eden Hazard the
other night, he was not in the game | 0:38:53 | 0:38:57 | |
enough. Well Jose Mourinho got a bit
of grief this week. He would say his | 0:38:57 | 0:39:09 | |
style of football is not
appreciated. But does he have more | 0:39:09 | 0:39:11 | |
pressure put on him because of the
way that city are playing, the | 0:39:11 | 0:39:17 | |
number of goals Liverpool are
scoring. It might go through and be | 0:39:17 | 0:39:20 | |
successful but not, is that the
style of football thing cause | 0:39:20 | 0:39:25 | |
issues. Possibly with Manchester
City doing so well just up the road | 0:39:25 | 0:39:30 | |
and playing such an attractive
style. Jose Mourinho has know-how, | 0:39:30 | 0:39:34 | |
he knows how to get the job done.
Inter, they went all the way and | 0:39:34 | 0:39:43 | |
took the trophy not playing very
attractive football. Also tomorrow | 0:39:43 | 0:39:51 | |
the League Cup final at Wembley
between Manchester City and Arsenal. | 0:39:51 | 0:39:56 | |
A first outing for Pep Guardiola and
his side since that Wigan wobble. | 0:39:56 | 0:40:03 | |
Do Wigan have any chance of
achieving their goal tonight? | 0:40:04 | 0:40:11 | |
achieving their goal tonight? Away
we go. | 0:40:11 | 0:40:19 | |
we go. Will Grigg, he might not need
it! It is Fabian Delph, all kicking | 0:40:19 | 0:40:27 | |
off. The debate goes on between the
two managers. Nice little backheel. | 0:40:27 | 0:40:34 | |
City starting to wrap it up now.
Great goal in! Here is will Grigg. | 0:40:34 | 0:40:41 | |
He has scored! I do not believe it!
They have knocked out the best side | 0:40:41 | 0:40:50 | |
in the land. City, daydream of four
is no war. | 0:40:50 | 0:40:56 | |
That was a great game. And one of
the field story, Pep Guardiola has | 0:40:56 | 0:41:04 | |
been charged for wearing a political
message, specifically the yellow | 0:41:04 | 0:41:07 | |
ribbon, by the Football Association
Vostok he said in November that he | 0:41:07 | 0:41:11 | |
was wearing the ribbon to support
imprisoned politicians in his native | 0:41:11 | 0:41:16 | |
Catalonia. He has until a week on
Monday to respond. So looking for | 0:41:16 | 0:41:20 | |
his first trophy in English
football. You spent some time with | 0:41:20 | 0:41:24 | |
him week. How do they bounce back
from Wigan and look at this Cup | 0:41:24 | 0:41:31 | |
Final against Arsenal? I'm sure they
will bounce back positively. That is | 0:41:31 | 0:41:36 | |
what you have to do after a tough
victory. They were competing in four | 0:41:36 | 0:41:40 | |
trophies and now it is down to
three, the focus will be on the | 0:41:40 | 0:41:44 | |
final. A great chance I think in the
Champions League. And in a dominant | 0:41:44 | 0:41:49 | |
position in the Premier League. So
pretty unravelled this week? It was | 0:41:49 | 0:41:54 | |
a pleasure for me to go in there and
see them training and spend a bit of | 0:41:54 | 0:41:59 | |
time with Pep Guardiola afterwards.
Someone I admire a lot. Going back | 0:41:59 | 0:42:03 | |
to last season, Arsenal beat
Manchester City in the semifinal. | 0:42:03 | 0:42:08 | |
Where do you think this game will be
one of lost. In terms of the games | 0:42:08 | 0:42:14 | |
city have lost this season,
Liverpool pressed them higher. What | 0:42:14 | 0:42:20 | |
to think Arsenal will do? Arsenal
just change the system, going to | 0:42:20 | 0:42:27 | |
back three and now they're playing
recently with the back four. I think | 0:42:27 | 0:42:30 | |
playing, as they did the other
night, they could seriously | 0:42:30 | 0:42:36 | |
struggle. I think changes will come
in. Arsene Wenger does not | 0:42:36 | 0:42:41 | |
necessarily set his side up to
defend. At some time in the game | 0:42:41 | 0:42:47 | |
they will try to press, they have
quality in behind. But the way city | 0:42:47 | 0:42:52 | |
played, they did not change their
style of play going down to ten men. | 0:42:52 | 0:42:57 | |
I think they will have just a little
bit too much for them. If and when | 0:42:57 | 0:43:01 | |
Arsenal do go to press them. On the
city side of things, spending time | 0:43:01 | 0:43:08 | |
with Pep Guardiola, they've already
won the league so no anticipation | 0:43:08 | 0:43:14 | |
for their side. But do they see the
Champions League is the real test of | 0:43:14 | 0:43:18 | |
whether they are one of the best
sides in Europe this season? They're | 0:43:18 | 0:43:22 | |
fighting on all fronts and they did
that until the other night in the FA | 0:43:22 | 0:43:26 | |
Cup as well. The focus is not to
deliver that trophy on Sunday. A | 0:43:26 | 0:43:30 | |
great position in the Premier
League. In the Champions League they | 0:43:30 | 0:43:34 | |
have the ability, no question, to go
far. The form they are in, that | 0:43:34 | 0:43:41 | |
suggests they could go far. The
question would be about Manchester | 0:43:41 | 0:43:45 | |
City, can they go to the latter
stages and handle the big games | 0:43:45 | 0:43:48 | |
against the teams that had been
their year in and year out over the | 0:43:48 | 0:43:53 | |
past five or six seasons. Juventus,
Barcelona, Bayern Munich. That's a | 0:43:53 | 0:43:59 | |
different thing that they have not
really been through. And canny deal | 0:43:59 | 0:44:02 | |
with the mental side of the game.
Knowing the way to win. So Arsenal, | 0:44:02 | 0:44:12 | |
27 points behind Manchester City in
the league. So time to hear from the | 0:44:12 | 0:44:19 | |
former Manchester City man who left
the Etihad for Borussia Dortmund at | 0:44:19 | 0:44:22 | |
the start of the season. 17-year-old
Jadon Sancho has been telling Simon | 0:44:22 | 0:44:28 | |
Stone all about life in the
Bundesliga. | 0:44:28 | 0:44:36 | |
I know one thing for certain. | 0:44:36 | 0:44:41 | |
I know one thing for certain. Better
keep your eyes lurking. | 0:44:41 | 0:44:47 | |
I learnt in a good way, how to say
thank you. Are you enjoying life in | 0:44:48 | 0:44:58 | |
Dortmund? I love it, nice and
relaxed. It is what I wanted from | 0:44:58 | 0:45:03 | |
the start. Just to focus on
football. There's a real mix out | 0:45:03 | 0:45:08 | |
here. When I train I go home then
and just relax. Anything you miss? | 0:45:08 | 0:45:15 | |
My mum and her cooking. | 0:45:15 | 0:45:20 | |
In terms of coming to Dortmund, they
made a big statement in giving you | 0:45:20 | 0:45:25 | |
that number seven shirt. When did
they tell you they were going to | 0:45:25 | 0:45:28 | |
give you it? On the day, you have
got number seven. I was like, yeah, | 0:45:28 | 0:45:32 | |
please. It shows the club as big
faith in me from the start. But the | 0:45:32 | 0:45:37 | |
number didn't really faze me, it was
just coming here and proving myself | 0:45:37 | 0:45:42 | |
to everyone. What is the aim? First
team, that is what I have wanted all | 0:45:42 | 0:45:49 | |
my life, playing in front of the
yellow wall, it is a dream come | 0:45:49 | 0:45:52 | |
true. I remember watching Dortmund
in the Champions League, seeing | 0:45:52 | 0:45:58 | |
everyone, now it is happening. It is
mad, you know? You went to Watford, | 0:45:58 | 0:46:06 | |
then moving to Manchester, then
another country altogether. These | 0:46:06 | 0:46:09 | |
are major steps for a young person.
At first, it was difficult, when I | 0:46:09 | 0:46:15 | |
left home and I went to Watford. But
then I got used to it, because I | 0:46:15 | 0:46:20 | |
lived in digs, I got used to my
family not being there. I think that | 0:46:20 | 0:46:24 | |
has helped me Midge Ure. It is a
long journey I have been on. But | 0:46:24 | 0:46:31 | |
this is the sacrifice you have to
make to get here. You have got to do | 0:46:31 | 0:46:33 | |
what you have got to do. | 0:46:33 | 0:46:39 | |
what you have got to do. The party
can begin now! Under 17 World Cup | 0:46:41 | 0:46:45 | |
for England! When we won the World
Cup, I was not there due to them | 0:46:45 | 0:46:53 | |
calling me back, but it felt nice.
Everybody wants to play for their | 0:46:53 | 0:47:00 | |
country, that is one of the biggest
things if you play football. But | 0:47:00 | 0:47:06 | |
yeah, the group is really special,
the question now is will we keep | 0:47:06 | 0:47:13 | |
that up? It is down to us, really.
Have you thought, if I can stay in | 0:47:13 | 0:47:19 | |
the borough sea Dortmund side, there
is even an outside chance I could | 0:47:19 | 0:47:23 | |
end up at the World Cup? Honestly, I
don't know! It is a big one | 0:47:23 | 0:47:34 | |
obviously, I would be | 0:47:34 | 0:47:39 | |
obviously, I would be honoured, I
would happily go to the World Cup if | 0:47:40 | 0:47:45 | |
they picked me, but I haven't
thought about it. You see me very | 0:47:45 | 0:47:50 | |
happy person. I am a happy person, I
just miss my mum's cooking everybody | 0:47:50 | 0:47:57 | |
misses their mum's cooking! You have
seen a bit of him, he is some | 0:47:57 | 0:48:01 | |
talent.
I saw him play in the youth cup | 0:48:01 | 0:48:07 | |
semifinals against Stoke, and he is
an incredible talent, right side of | 0:48:07 | 0:48:12 | |
players on the left wing, all the
tricks of maybe an early Cristiano | 0:48:12 | 0:48:16 | |
Ronaldo, the ability to beat players
and go both ways. Yeah, certainly | 0:48:16 | 0:48:21 | |
one that City will be gutted to have
lost, but we will see how he | 0:48:21 | 0:48:26 | |
develops in Dortmund, certainly a
talent. It is exciting, but quite a | 0:48:26 | 0:48:31 | |
few young players playing in Germany
at the moment, learning so much, | 0:48:31 | 0:48:36 | |
expanding their cultural horizons as
well. It can only be good for the | 0:48:36 | 0:48:41 | |
game, can't it? Absolutely, and with
what England have done at under 17 | 0:48:41 | 0:48:47 | |
and under 20 level, some of those
big talents going out to experience | 0:48:47 | 0:48:50 | |
football in Europe, it is a good
experience for them and the national | 0:48:50 | 0:48:54 | |
team moving forward. Take us back to
a young de Bruyne, taking on the | 0:48:54 | 0:49:01 | |
number seven shirt, understanding
about the yellow wall. -- Kilbane. I | 0:49:01 | 0:49:12 | |
didn't know anything about German
football, nothing about La Liga, | 0:49:12 | 0:49:16 | |
just Premier League football, so I
remember Brian Deane scoring for | 0:49:16 | 0:49:22 | |
Sheffield United! I wouldn't have a
clue about the yellow wall! It shows | 0:49:22 | 0:49:26 | |
the cultural changes, the young
players developing, watching all | 0:49:26 | 0:49:30 | |
European football, all European
leagues, they know everything about | 0:49:30 | 0:49:33 | |
the big clubs. You spent plenty of
time abroad, do you think it is the | 0:49:33 | 0:49:41 | |
same for the managerial point of
view, you have so much more to draw | 0:49:41 | 0:49:44 | |
on when you get your next job in
football? It gives you great | 0:49:44 | 0:49:48 | |
experience, widens your knowledge of
football across Europe. It is great | 0:49:48 | 0:49:51 | |
to see someone like that, very brave
and courageous to go and play in a | 0:49:51 | 0:49:56 | |
foreign country where the language
is different, the culture is | 0:49:56 | 0:49:59 | |
different, he will earn a commend
this amount and become a better | 0:49:59 | 0:50:02 | |
player, but he will develop a lot of
great life skills as well. I'm sure | 0:50:02 | 0:50:08 | |
there's mum sends some food over as
well and Michael Neville has named | 0:50:08 | 0:50:11 | |
his first as England women's
manager. -- fill | 0:50:11 | 0:50:19 | |
manager. -- fill Phil Neville. Casey
Stoney will be joining his backroom | 0:50:23 | 0:50:29 | |
staff. England start their campaign
on Thursday against France. | 0:50:29 | 0:50:37 | |
on Thursday against France. We will
hear from the England camp next | 0:50:37 | 0:50:40 | |
week. Fulham are the form team in
the Championship, unbeaten in 11, | 0:50:40 | 0:50:44 | |
they have won seven in a row at
home. They are in the play-off spot | 0:50:44 | 0:50:49 | |
at the moment, and tonight they take
on Wolves. Time for a visit from | 0:50:49 | 0:50:53 | |
Clem.
Well, first things first, we are | 0:50:53 | 0:51:02 | |
talking you about 16 hours after the
final whistle, the draw at Ashton | 0:51:02 | 0:51:05 | |
Gate. Are you not tired out? Are you
not knackered? You have been in for | 0:51:05 | 0:51:11 | |
three or four hours already. We're
pretty tired. Just a Hazard of the | 0:51:11 | 0:51:17 | |
job, the boss is so meticulous, he
has got everything he wants to do | 0:51:17 | 0:51:21 | |
with you mapped out, it doesn't
matter what time you arrive home? | 0:51:21 | 0:51:27 | |
Yeah, we just cannot follow along
and do what we are told. The look | 0:51:27 | 0:51:31 | |
you gave me suggested what I feel
looking at the gaffer, truly | 0:51:31 | 0:51:34 | |
terrified! He has got that look,
hasn't he? Quite a cold look, | 0:51:34 | 0:51:40 | |
strict, I know what you mean. It is
intense. More intense than cold. | 0:51:40 | 0:51:45 | |
When you look at your team, what do
you see? | 0:51:45 | 0:51:54 | |
you see? We are more confident, we
know but each other, we trust each | 0:51:54 | 0:51:58 | |
other more, we are more competitive
right now. To think you will be | 0:51:58 | 0:52:03 | |
promoted this season? I don't know,
I'm talking only about the next | 0:52:03 | 0:52:08 | |
game, I believe we can win against
Wolves, it is a fantastic test for | 0:52:08 | 0:52:16 | |
us. We will see where we finish with
the points. | 0:52:16 | 0:52:27 | |
the points. 27 points from the last
possible 33, it is a phenomenal | 0:52:27 | 0:52:31 | |
model. Is that all we have?! I
thought it was more, to be honest | 0:52:31 | 0:52:36 | |
with you! I think we go into every
match thinking, you know, I wouldn't | 0:52:36 | 0:52:46 | |
say unbeatable, but very close to
that. You know, confidence is key in | 0:52:46 | 0:52:51 | |
this division, and you put a few
good results together and it just | 0:52:51 | 0:52:55 | |
snowballs, and teams start to fear
you, and that is what we are | 0:52:55 | 0:53:01 | |
starting to achieve, talking about
relegation six pointer is, these are | 0:53:01 | 0:53:10 | |
all promotion six-pointers. We
usually thrive under pressure. | 0:53:10 | 0:53:16 | |
Everybody thrives under this
pressure? The dressing room is made | 0:53:16 | 0:53:19 | |
up of a mix of personalities, is it?
Of course, I think the next couple | 0:53:19 | 0:53:26 | |
of weeks, whether we can catch
second or not... Do you think | 0:53:26 | 0:53:34 | |
automatic is a possibility? It is
definitely a possibility, I don't | 0:53:34 | 0:53:38 | |
see why not, 27 out of 33, initial
space of time it is a possibility, | 0:53:38 | 0:53:43 | |
but in the next couple of weeks we
will literally know what the | 0:53:43 | 0:53:47 | |
situation is. So to have fresh legs
going into the end of the season, | 0:53:47 | 0:53:53 | |
which I don't think we had last
season at all, is key. I was | 0:53:53 | 0:53:58 | |
distracted before my final question,
he was looking at his phone, he was | 0:53:58 | 0:54:03 | |
going to walk through the shot until
somebody told him! Are you OK? No | 0:54:03 | 0:54:09 | |
problem, you are all right, that is
great, fantastic! I want a sentence | 0:54:09 | 0:54:15 | |
or a word to define the feeling in
your dressing room. Buzzing. | 0:54:15 | 0:54:19 | |
Confidence. Fantastic. The only
thing you are not ready for is a | 0:54:19 | 0:54:25 | |
trip to London Fashion Week. I have
got to show you, with the best will | 0:54:25 | 0:54:32 | |
in the world, mate! It is comfy!
Great to see you both. | 0:54:32 | 0:54:39 | |
Only acceptable in the club, socks
and sandals. What about that stare?! | 0:54:39 | 0:54:48 | |
Clem was frightened to death, he
wanted Dumoulin walk out of shot! | 0:54:48 | 0:54:51 | |
Terrifying. Are you working on your
managerial state? You need to look | 0:54:51 | 0:54:57 | |
like that sometimes, keep them on
their toes! I didn't realise you | 0:54:57 | 0:55:01 | |
spent so long at the Fulham academy.
Seven years. They have timed their | 0:55:01 | 0:55:07 | |
run really well, I know they are
taking on the best side in the | 0:55:07 | 0:55:11 | |
division tonight, but you see them
as having a real chance of going up? | 0:55:11 | 0:55:16 | |
Absolutely, and that is the key, 13
games to go. If you can find the | 0:55:16 | 0:55:21 | |
momentum at the right time, you can
shoot out that lead. It is looking | 0:55:21 | 0:55:27 | |
like Wolves will go number one, then
one of the others, Aston Villa are | 0:55:27 | 0:55:32 | |
strong, experienced in Steve Bruce.
Derby are pushing, Cardiff, all | 0:55:32 | 0:55:38 | |
experienced sides. Fulham would be a
good bet, even if it is for the | 0:55:38 | 0:55:42 | |
play-offs. I know you saw Wolves
last week, but we have to mention | 0:55:42 | 0:55:46 | |
Sunderland, one of your former
sides. A horrible start, in 1985 | 0:55:46 | 0:55:51 | |
Wolves went from the top tier, the
bottom of the top tier, down, bottom | 0:55:51 | 0:55:57 | |
of the second tier, and Sunderland
could be the first time to do that | 0:55:57 | 0:55:59 | |
since Wolves. It is not looking good
at all. Interesting seeing Chris | 0:55:59 | 0:56:04 | |
Coleman this week, he was talking
about the whole picture at the | 0:56:04 | 0:56:09 | |
football club, talking about Ellis
Short, what Ellis Short, maybe his | 0:56:09 | 0:56:14 | |
reluctance to really care about the
club, he said, look, we all care | 0:56:14 | 0:56:19 | |
about the club, but really the guy
at the helm, this is what he is | 0:56:19 | 0:56:23 | |
alluding to, this guy does not care
what is best for the club. It has | 0:56:23 | 0:56:27 | |
been one mess after another. What
Chris Coleman is suffering now, that | 0:56:27 | 0:56:32 | |
has gone from Simon Grayson, Martin
O'Neill, David Moyes, a lot of | 0:56:32 | 0:56:35 | |
managers before him. Are you sure
you want to go back into | 0:56:35 | 0:56:39 | |
management?! Hearing all that! You
have put yourself through some | 0:56:39 | 0:56:43 | |
punishment. As soon as possible?
Weighing things up? I am ready to | 0:56:43 | 0:56:48 | |
go, I have got energy and
enthusiasm. You know, I am just | 0:56:48 | 0:56:52 | |
waiting for the right opportunity.
Listen, great to have your the | 0:56:52 | 0:56:57 | |
programme, fascinating insights on
loads programmes. Kevin Connolly | 0:56:57 | 0:56:59 | |
always nice to spend the day with
you. We will be back on BBC One, and | 0:56:59 | 0:57:05 | |
we will be on the iPlayer if you
have just switched over from the | 0:57:05 | 0:57:09 | |
Olympics. We will leave you with
predictions from two of Hollywood's | 0:57:09 | 0:57:13 | |
finest, Allison Janney, not sure how
much she knows about football, and | 0:57:13 | 0:57:18 | |
Fulham van Margot Robbie. Thanks for
watching, so UNIX week. -- see you | 0:57:18 | 0:57:24 | |
next week. | 0:57:24 | 0:57:26 | |
When you say football,
you mean soccer? | 0:57:26 | 0:57:27 | |
Soccer! | 0:57:27 | 0:57:35 | |
Everyone has their own truth... I
play Tonya Harding. I play her | 0:57:36 | 0:57:41 | |
mother. It is a film about her life,
you see from the age of four to 44, | 0:57:41 | 0:57:47 | |
and everything that transpired in
1994, the incident! We also judge on | 0:57:47 | 0:57:57 | |
presentation. Her life is messy,
corrugated, tragic, funny. And it | 0:57:57 | 0:58:03 | |
has a great soundtrack! I pledge my
allegiance to Fulham, I want them to | 0:58:03 | 0:58:09 | |
win. | 0:58:09 | 0:58:13 | |
I'll say Brighton,
cos of the Aussie love. | 0:58:13 | 0:58:15 | |
2-0 to Brighton. | 0:58:15 | 0:58:16 | |
To Brighton, OK. | 0:58:16 | 0:58:24 | |
That score will be 4-4.
That will be an exciting game! | 0:58:24 | 0:58:31 | |
Oh, that is going to be a good game!
Manchester versus, um... | 0:58:31 | 0:58:34 | |
Chelsea. | 0:58:34 | 0:58:38 | |
I think I'm going to
go with Man United. | 0:58:38 | 0:58:46 | |
I am going to go with Arsenal all
the way, 3-2. 3-0? | 0:58:49 | 0:59:01 |
