"Well, I can't see that. I can't see that because it ended up year. I moved to Sheffield winter. I went back to Premier League. Okay. So it wasn't a good start, right? It ended well. Come about. David pleat was looking for somebody experienced just to go and do a job basically. At the time I could play at the time I was playing in the middle of the county and I started in the middle of the park and then I played so I kind of played two or three different positions for Sheffield Wednesday over a couple of seasons. So David plea, I can thank him very much. He got you out and Nottingham. Getting me out of the old thumb division back. Remember him you remember him playing at Stanford bridge when he was at I think it might have been 96. Right. Yep. Gabby what were you doing in 95? That's the one. Well, I was still in college.

What are the cats called? Can you not get edible flowers? That's not where you can put them anywhere. And the cats can eat them, are they? Edible flowers. Edible flowers. The cats. No, but not actually flowers. Flowers, but they're not actually flown. You were talking about flows. You could eat. Edible flowers. Right. But they aren't flowers. You've already said that. No, I've just confirmed. I'll tell you what, know that we've talked about this. Yes, I'm going to pick some up in the real home. There you are for yourself. Stevie. When you were the revs coach, did you ever fear for your job if your team had a bad run of losses? These days there's always such a quick discussion in the media about a coach losing their job during bad times. I did want here, right? And I lost my job. Oh. That would be always dubbed. Right. At what stage? Listen, I knew I was doomed because you weren't good. Right. You know, it wasn't a case of just because you lost four Gibbs in the trial and then you're under pressure. It wasn't a case of that. The team was good. And I knew it was common and short felt. There was some of these guys are locking when it comes as a surprise. Then you can get over it, but I knew it was coming for a long time. 'cause there was nothing I could do to me because any better. To a new British comment, so it was what actually. When you can't do anything about it, you know what it's common and you've got to sit on it and festive for three or four months. I mean, by the end, when they told me I was getting the bullet and they smile at me first, I was ready. So it's a relief then. Absolutely.

What time are you in? I got in there, but I was at a shortly there I know the day before, right? I mean, we didn't start training until 10 o'clock. I wanted. Oh, you're the boss. Maron was always on false. Okay. He was always putting on a marathon. Oh, he was up there, like 7 in the morning or something down. No, as I said, it was all sorted. Everybody was ready to go before we plan. Before the day was done, so allegation, isn't it? Yes, exactly. Exactly. Filter prepare? Yes, prepare for today. We go. Craig, will Eddie Howe get a proper chance to achieve success at Newcastle in the coming years, or will they go for a high profile manager to take the next step? Well, holding. How does it know that they're not going to tip the next step with the information? Mister Ho has done a pretty good job. I have to say up to now. Really good job. Buffers a little bit. Recently, still unbeaten a thing, but yeah, I don't know. Here are any Newcastle fans calling for that yet. It was a struggle at the start of the slow start. But who knows? The older ship so far have

"They've got nothing to play for. Other than other than Champions League, and they're already getting ready for next season. And that's why I think this is going to be very tough. However, let's never, ever underestimate. Dortmund's capability for self destruction and self harm and Keystone cops. We've seen them do a time and time again. We've been talking about this and I was talking to sharka there who thought Porter would get to the end of the season. I'm kindly on that on the same page to be honest. But gab, apart from the usual pressure of managing Chelsea in these big teams. Is he going to get to the end of the year and preseason? If he has reasonable enough results, or we're going to see this bold make a hasty decision at some point. Well, look, they keep telling us, right? Tom boley and Nick Bali about how smart they are and how smart their analytics team is and so on. Hey, what's should be very, very, very obvious to you is that if you want to find out whether Graham Potter is a good enough coach, you need to give him time to work. He's never been in this situation where they're playing midweek football before. It's really not at Brighton. You need to give them a proper pre season. And if you're going to bring in a bazillion players, whatever 6 in the summer, 7 in January, you have to give them time to gel. And Potter hasn't had any of those things. I don't think grand Potter's been good. But on top of that, he's also had a ton of injuries as well. And I think this team was horrendously put together because it was put together in the summer when they did not have a director of football or had to recruitment. So I think you have to make all those allowances for him and find out where you are. I think you're going to know in the fall or you should give it at least until the fault to find out whether Potter is right for Chelsea or not. I think personally, you would just wasted a season if you just sack them before the end of the season. I agree. They've been madness. We always talk about players. Managers have got to put players in a position to succeed. You don't play a guy who's just trying to follow player but said, applying actually staffed. And so this would be completely if they don't keep port on and give them a preseason. Let's be complete madness. The vast are going to do a job and tie these hands behind these back by throwing them 39 players, which is completely ridiculous. And anybody has ever been in a dressing room will tell you how ridiculous and how hard that is and how impossible it is to try and figure things out. And on top of it, they're all brand new players. So as they don't give part of the pre season, then I'll tell you what, it won't just be this year we'll make a mess here. They'll continue. If memory serves me right, it was a slow break and to start with and then they got ahead of steam op. So it took them a little while in there to get people talking with Mayo fish, but getting to know the players and understand what he wanted to do. I agree with God, but he hasn't been great. There's no doubt about that. But it has been a really and as a really difficult job, particularly for the reasons Stevie imagineer. The problem has got in some sense, although the fines don't make the decision per se, but I suppose the pressure on boards is that I think there is a lot of people just saying grand Porter is turbid a job for him. Yeah. Now I'd like to see at least a bold stand strong and give them the pre season and then start make sure you see where we are but who knows and football these days. Let's take a look then at everyone's predictions going into that tie in Germany.

"We also think for one game we got kind of work with him on that. Yeah, it will explain to him that that's the only way they can get through because otherwise, you know, Missy Neymar can be at their best. If he's not in the middle of the park. And then and then maybe Mbappé can say yes, okay, but we'll have to discuss after. Even if it works, we'll have to discuss after, because I don't want to do that, it's never been my plan in my career. And because you sign me again, you have to hire somebody, we can play that position and I want to play in the position I like and where I think I'm the best. But yeah, you can sacrifice and I'm pretty sure Mbappé knows the biggest interest of overall is to go through with Paris Saint-Germain and win the Champions League. I think you could cajole lamented doing that with the little caveat that you dropping nima. You just thinking about it. You can over there. They played a three day biome, but pavilion is now going to be suspended. So probably go back to your back four or can say I can come in and play fullback. They've got options here. But it's a pot mechano and delete. No, I'd be licking my laps if I was a fit and Barbie, particularly pulling on to delete. If you had messy floating around and then you had a better solidity behind, that might be a better way to get it done. Right. And so you have to make a big decision. Yeah. Now if you go over there and play all three of them and the alliance arena. I think they're going to roast you. The problem is you're talking about the plan against the team. PSG is not a team. And we've not even mentioned that in the other three, who should be playing who shouldn't be playing. I mean, the rest of them must be sick of listening to their names for the start and two, when they're under pressure, when you take a look forward and you see them standing watching. Right. That should destroy. So listen, you can change it information. You obviously can't change the name on the back of the jails or because of the injuries. So what chance have they got? Because they're not a team. And you need it at the very least they have everybody fighting in the same corner in order to win out Bayern Munich. If he goes over there and plays all three of them, right? And I'm thinking, I think the criticism would come that he really looked at the foss game and probably hadn't had the bottle. Right. They leave one of them out. And particularly Neymar. First thing he said, when he commended there was usually talking about Neymar and walking about doing nothing. So it's a big decision for him, but he's getting paid to make those. It's not about if Neymar's happy or not. It's about going over there and putting a team on the field that has got at least half a chance of defending and winning the game. And with all three of them, the others are not team or just a roasting. Who did you like from buying today? I don't think anybody really stuck it. Right. But as I said, they didn't have a bad playoff. But a team. Right. So it's kind of similar to ten across the board. Kind of the complete opposite of what we're talking about with PSG. Chemist maybe out of everybody stuck out the most, but generally, every single one of them did the bet. Including pavani got sent off, everybody, no standards, everybody was a great level PSG. You wouldn't want no bring them back home, job dog, because of the team. I thought Pavel was actually in some silly. It was a rash challenge for the foss book and then obviously the second one is dive then. But in general performance overall, it was actually really good. He made some really good blocks, defensively, it was excellent. And I agree with Stevie.

"Thing about that was the camera panned away from it. I know. And so I saw him hiding back there and I'm thinking, does he see him? Did you preempt it? Does he see him? Because I played the game at White Hart Lane where Robbie king did the exact same thing to Sheffield Wednesday. Right. It kind of snuck in, stole it and dribbled in the back of the net. And so when I saw him hiding back there, I thought, no, surely he's going to look over his shoulder and just boot this ball down the pitch. And then when they pan back and the crowd's going crazy and if he doesn't slip, it's one of the most embarrassing things that he's three three in World Cup history. And let's get the temperature on the penalty then. Ali says no, Frank? Who's going to see yes? Well, Mark clattenburg obviously. So every once right now though touches the ball, that's the argument. It's not, but the thing is Mark was saying that Ronaldo was kicked and was pushed on his back. No. No, I checked. And I said, well, I want to find a way to explain that. It's possible there is a clearly teeny tiny possibility to accept the penalty. But at the end of the day, as Alice said, that was a good penalty because you started the game. Yeah, yeah. So I want to thank the American referee because I was an American referee. To have made that mistake to allow us to enjoy the rest of the game. Pablo penalty for you or not.

"Counter press. The fact that they were on top of Syria and whenever Serbia got possession of the ball that tried to play out, Brazil was right there to win the ball right back. That balance and that ability to win the ball right back puts Brazil in a different category altogether. It's only a few teams around the world that are able to do this and do it well. Brazil is doing it and it's doing it together. And then the attacking part takes over. It's an important part of the scene. A critical part to this team. But I think it's a part of this team that they're going to be able to address his absence. They have done it before. They have one Copa América without a mar when he got injured with his foot. And wasn't able to compete in Brazil. They want that Copa América with an immersive. There is an experience here for this team and having played a tournament where people don't expect them to win because Neymar is not on the field, and then they're able to push through. It's not ideal. It's not what you would want, but can they do it? With this group of players and the mentality of this group and how together this group is right now, I think they're capable. I think we need to talk about the balance of this side. There's some phenomenal Brazilian teams from the 70s. That wish they had the goalkeeping they have right now. Wish they had the ten field players fighting in the same direction. Not, hey, these guys are so phenomenal. Let's go watch them play with the ball and then we'll wait there. Oh no, we lost it. Counterattack. This looks like a team. And we've seen it 90 minutes of it, plus the outrageous amount of stoppage time that seems to be the theme of this World Cup so far. But you see a team that looks focused that looks together that's not only coached well, but they're accepting what the coach wants and have a goal in mind. Not an individual goal. Look, this is my tournament to highlight myself to the world. No, we think we have a good team here and we think if we all play collectively, we can win this thing. And that's what I see from this Brazil side. And that was evident, of course, when we saw them dancing, and coming off the bus together, the celebrations after the goals Pablo, there seems to be a real collective bond between these players. Yeah, no, another first time that we have seen this from Brazilian doing before the game. This is a way of the life that's the way I feel full boil, you know, and that's brilliant to see. And you know, dancing, singing, and all that is something that I Argentina and I don't know. I probably never done it before. But you have to understand the Brazilian side like that. So okay, they like it. Perfect. Well done. Imagine Harry Maguire. In a tunnel in 98, we waited like four 50 minutes in the tunnel. With them, with all the tears rivaldo Ronaldo were better and they were all singing and dancing. You just want to go for a fight. Yeah. Just you wait for 15 minutes. It's like the teasing you. You getting upset. Because they were dancing. They were dancing singing. We understand this part of the culture. But you there, you're very tuned in and you say, well, those people didn't care about it. And

"No, well, you know, named bodies one of the great display of this generation. I mean, in the way he's been performing for PhD and he's doing well for the country and for the club and he's a leader for this generation of soil for Brazil. So like as I say before, hopefully it's not too bad. It looks bad. When you look at the picture, it seems like his uncle is not right, but well, we'll see the next 24 hours or 48 hours. If you can't recover from that uncle from that injury, we wish him all the best hopefully he's okay for the next game. But I mean, you know, he's this is his World Cup. He I don't know him four years time. We will see the best of Nevada again. And he spoke about this a few weeks ago saying that he doesn't know for how long he would keep playing. So he knows they have a really strong team. They have one of the big contenders to win the World Cup. So, of course, they will need the best of Neymar. They have qualities for sure around him and he's not only about Nemo. But I think if you put Neymar out of the business because of his injury, you don't know what will be psychologically the reaction of the other player, because he's a leader. He's the leader of the team and he has focused on everything that the media needs to let a lot of the others to be to be quiet in a quiet space and work, work in their ways. If you take out Neymar of the situation, the media and everybody is going to get going to look what they can go to, who they can go to. And maybe the pressure of the others is going to start making them shaking. And you don't know. So having him, I think it's a plus. It's a plus. Because of football, it's a plus because of the media is a plus because of the psychology aspect of the game. And having him out of the business would be a damage. I think for Brazil. Cameras are in the World Cup without Neymar. Yes, they can. And the reason I say that is while we can focus on the depth of Brazil in the attack, which would be the obvious answer to your question, you give all this players an option to actually have an opportunity to impact the game and they can impact the game. I don't want to focus on that so much. I want to focus on the fact that while it is easy to see where it's still attacking and all that talent, what I thought was really outstanding from Brazil today is their ability to continue to press to press and

You're happy to be here. Cool so long. He's had some difficulties. It's okay. It's all right. We're here to help you through it. I'm glad to hear that. Trying to be good teammates. And the good thing is that Jules is on with us as well and that he took the time to do it because when we're about to go on there just now, then he was doing something else. He was distracted. So we had to stop down. You just let the people know what's happening. I didn't hear the music. Oh, it's the music's fault. There we go. All right. First question. Not much fun. For anybody. Who needs love and more? Chelsea, barsa, or Byron. Go ahead, Jules. Wow, that's a good question. I mean, I think the way you need to look at it is if he's not there, who is coming next from that current squad in those three clubs who can do a decent job, it won't be as good as levandowski's job, but I mean Chelsea would have to play Kai harvest as a number 9 who can do a job but it's only he's not popping number 9, then you look at Barcelona, they've got Bama yung who did okay last season after arriving from arsenal. They could be a good substitute and then the third one is Bayern Munich. There's no one. If he leaves Bayern Munich right now, they've got no one in that squad to replace him. So I still think that of the three.

"Julia, is this a good signing? A good first signing for ten ag. What I think is a very talented player, very promising young young left back who really had a wonderful season last year both domestically and of course in European competition as well. Of course they already have Luke show and Alex teres in that position are left back. But for what Eric and hag wants of his left bike, he would just be perfect because he's got this really technical ability that is very, very great for his age only and then physically he goes up and down that left hand side all the time he's got he's really, I think a great asset for the future for much of united. Again, there may have been other positions to strengthen first, but they thought that this one was the right time to make because it was about to sign for Leon and the hijack the deal at the last minute to bring him to Trafford and he didn't want to miss to miss out, which I think is a good sign again of the trust and the faith that every ten high and the club have into this young player. Can I ask you a question? Sure. Why is it only 13 million? If this case, if this guy is because he's a young player, it's a really good question. He's 22. Yeah, he's a 15 million for a proper play these days. That doesn't, the two things don't go together. 13 million for the guy who might tell note to be Danny alves, doesn't really it doesn't really add up to me. Nice a good question, but I think first of all, he came from finding out the narrative where I don't think they can charge maybe certainly not even transfer fees as high as Hayek because for example he's never played in the champions. Before he doesn't know what that is, he still has limited experience from top 5 football and again they know that a really good season last year but it's not like if they've been winning everything for the last ten years and so maybe reflect not so much his talent, but the club that I came from, the league that I came from and the little experience that he has as a first team player really, I think he's more that than anything else yorn had the same agreement pretty much with feyenoord. Again, if you look at other of the famous players like cook shoe in midfield, for example, he's worth €20 million, which again is quite cheap for someone of east talent, but yet again, his failure is the aerodynamic. Yeah, maybe not the big signing that ten ag wanted at least for his first Ali, but is this where Manchester United needed a little bit of strengthening? Well, George just mentioned there, I already have two players in that position, but I'm going to go glass half full on this. Instead of looking at how come this guy is only 13 million, maybe you go, hey, this guy's only 13 million. And in the end, you throw this money out there. It's not a whole lot of money, and therefore if he ends up becoming something for you, then it's great business romantic to say united. Now, in terms of him stepping in right away, I'm playing I don't quite see that happening. However, right now, the standard and Manchester United is very low. So if there was ever an opportunity for you to come in and say, hey, guess what? You can count on me. I can play from the very beginning. I can be a starter for this club. I think there's going to be open competition. I'm not just saying that. And maybe this guy makes a run for it. And perhaps why not? It's not like Luke Shaw and Alex Daniels have run away with this, right? Luke show has a history of injuries. When he's not around, they're not excited to come in and he hasn't exactly been lined up on fire. And so therefore, there's a space there for this young man to come in. And perhaps get himself into the rotation. Glass half full so he's saying you're a pessimist now. Absolutely..

"And gautier to make sure that those things don't happen, whether it's name out, Messi and Mbappé or someone else, no one can be late for the best for learn for dinner for training for team meeting for the physio appointment, anything like that. People are like, you know, people have to have to follow that. And if you have to be tough at the beginning, then maybe you have to be at the beginning, but this is some certainly something that was not really working before. Clearly not working because we know the mission now is and has been for many years to win the Champions League title. Stevie, can they do that with Neymar? What they can do with the Neymar they bought, you know, the fact that he's turned up early for training and as a great saying. You wouldn't put money on that for sure. He could have I don't know the three nights out. He chose not to. That's a good start. But yeah, absolutely. If Neymar gets back to the guy these Shane, then yes they can. They've got the talent. We've got as much talent as the anybody else. They just can't quite get it together. When it matters most. So yes, they could win it. I'm not putting money on it, but it could win it. And people out there may think when we're talking about this rule, what does it really matter if you show up late to a training session or to a player's meeting or whatever other role that you broke as a player? But what it does is that it starts creating cracks in the foundation. Division within the team. You star then, when things are going smoothly, then everybody's okay. Everybody's happy. But when things start going south, those cracks that I just mentioned in the foundation, they start showing up. And in the case of PSG, no better example than what we saw in Champions League last season, where those cracks were already there. We knew they were there. And then in a moment in which they needed everybody to come together, they fell completely apart. So for me, if this team is going to make a deep run and indeed threaten to win Champions League, they foundation has to be solid. No cracks, no fractures, no divisions, be the concept of a team..

"We'll be previewing a little bit of that with the really tough news for Spain. The fact that an example will be out for the tournament with a torn ACL, she injured it this morning. But first, he saw is the new PSG coach. Here's what he's done in the last few years. At least with nice, the last season that Gupta France that runner up, he was with Leo, he won the League One championship in 2021, of course, previous to that with sense. And of course, the talk around at Neymar was included in his presentation. Here's what he had to say, Neymar is a world class player, but coach wouldn't want that player in their team. Of course, you have to have a balance, but I'm clear on what I want from him, and I'm sure he'll stay with us because we want the best people here. Now, of course, we have to bring in Julian Laurence and I have to ask you, Julian, does that mean then that Neymar is staying at Paris? No, it doesn't mean that. There was nothing else I could have got you could have said in his first press conference to the arrange time. If he had said, yeah, we won't name her out. We're trying to find a club for Neymar. Just imagine it would have been would have been fire everywhere. I think he played it well. A bit later on, he said, I really hope he stays because I think galaxian knows that there's also a chance that Neymar won't be there next season, but he was the right thing to say. Neymar turned up for training today a few days early, by the way, which I think is a really good sign from him and in terms of commitment to the season doesn't have to be equipment to PhD between them to the season that for galaxy there was nothing else he could have said. This was the right answer. Is this the right answer, then how tough is it to keep someone on like Neymar CV from a coach's perspective? Well, for galaxies perspective right now is dead easy. And he just showed you why, because it's about what you say. And it's dead, easy to talk, as we know. Unfortunately, it's something staged that comes to an end and you have to produce on the field. And when preseason starts and when the preseason game start, Neymar is going to have to produce on the field because I don't think this guy will take any presidents. He certainly going to have to make a statement. We thought that the previous managers took calls and everybody before were going to do the same thing and make a statement and none of them ever did. This guy is going to have to make that statement and hopefully this statement is he gets people late Neymar to buy into what he's looking for. And it shows on the field. Otherwise, he's going to have to be brave and go the other way and chastise these kids. It may all be talk, but he did make a couple of statements today in the press conference. And it wasn't specific to Neymar, but he did say no player is above PSG. Now that's exactly what you would say in an opening press conference because indeed you're trying to make that sort of opening introduction and saying, I am the one who's going to make the decisions. And another thing that I thought was important from the press conference when he said, we have a lot of talented players. But we need to make this talented players into a team. Hinton that they were never a team before on their money. Now, again, this is introductions. This is opening statement in a press conference. What value does it have? Not a whole lot. If you don't have the backing and the support from the club. And from those above you, that the players don't feel like they have the freedom to go above the manager to go and complain and then get away with whatever it is that they want to do. So at the very least, in the beginning, he's making all the right decisions and saying all the right things. But to Stevie's points, all of this will come to pass and the judgment will come to pass when we start seeing this team winning with consistency and when they're losing, what is the reaction and how do the players react to the manager? Because what said the same thing that he had a lot of individuals and he had to now try to make them play as a team, but with Neymar now if he doesn't stay as Julia, are you hearing any other maybe teams that want him for the next season? Well, Sunday, we know that he's been offered in around a big club in Europe. We obviously reported the link with Chelsea and the fact that I think totally the new owner, the club, wants to make a statement with one superstar signing, whether that's Neymar or Krishna Ronaldo, maybe neither of them too, but someone else that remains to be seen, but certainly there's some work being done from PSG to try to find him a club. I think from Neymar's people around him as well because now I think there's also a feeling that maybe this is the right time to live if there's a good offer, so I'm well. If he has to stay, he will stay. And I think that if can get the best of Neymar, depends along the position I don't think that Neymar can play wide anymore. He doesn't have that kind of impact that he had a few years ago. I don't think messy can play white. So one of them will have to play centrally and I don't think you can play them both centrally, but we'll have to work that out with Neymar with Messi with Mbappé with all the others. But certainly I think the boys are right, discipline is the key here already this quarter we live for Japan where most of the precision and the friendlies will be next week, those players will sign a there will be a new rules and new set of rules with regulations and things that they have to follow..

"As whether we're talking about beer who's delivered in some promise and then thought right, that's it. I'm going to go play some golf or Neymar who has not delivered on what he was brought there to do, even though he's showed up in the league. As I mentioned, he's not showed up in the Champions League enough in my opinion. If I need to start off by saying, we need to start up questions saying who's at the most disappointing career and he said, nay, I was like, oh my God, I'm going to be attacked. What's up, my question is this? Oh gosh, that's a relief. Just a given, isn't it? I think if Carl fails to stop playing for a Real Madrid right now, I think he'd be happy with the titles that he has. But if he was asking to review his time and say, did he achieve his potential? I think he'd say no because I think the impact is because he was bought for like 80 million pounds. Like the only person that costs more at that point there was Ronaldo. So there was some sort of no cost less in fact. So the expectation was going to probably have some similar impact. But he didn't have that, whether that's due to injuries, whether it's due to not fully settle in, you know, there's something to it. And that's for the name outside of a PSG. Like PSG weren't a million miles away from winning the Champions League Final two seasons ago or whatever it was. So if he would have won something then, does that mean that the whole spell would have been successful? Like he's been to that. He's been to that stage, so it hasn't been a complete waste overall. But I can hear the bell transition or whatever. You see it's not, it's not it's not been a waste because it's not obvious. I think it's over. I.

Of what I will go for bay, you know? I mean, it's been such a disappointment and since she's signed there, yes, it's called good goals and especially in Champions League, but it's like, it's like he decided to go in certain ways where he forgot football where food goal football didn't become. Something important to his life. I never thought that Neymar had something to do else than football. And I'm talking about golf, especially with bail, but really it was such a fantastic player being what he was playing for spurs. When he came to remedy that was expecting so much from him and.

"Gem select. What up with Charlie after the game? You ask for intensity yesterday? Well, the team was intense. They take advantage of the chances they created. They move the world well. I think they did almost everything right. Yes, we play really well. One of the best games that since I'm here as a coach, I'm very happy for the team because we are training really well. We intensity would read them very fast. We create many chances we dominate 90 minutes totally the team was really, really intentional. I'm very happy for all of them. So keep going like that. Very important three points because just Seville lost two points the rest won the game. So it was a little bit pressure for us. So we are in the good way, I think. You needed to create solutions because you've been a struggling the last two games against defensive teams. I don't know which was the key that really succeeded today over my young was more on the box. So how do you manage it? In a different way to play ferran, for example, or usman in one by one, they were really good. We create many challenges going to space attacking spaces. Really well, really complete game. I'm really happy for the players especially. Do you think maybe today was the best game of the SEO that you have been managing us? Yeah, it can be can be or the game against well, that his core and he played 20 minutes but today he played 90 minutes really really well really well. So yeah, he's improving also with the team. You have a crazy week ahead of your trip to Istanbul, difficult match Daniel classical. How do you face these two very difficult games? Well, we start really difficult week with win with three points, very important for us. And now we have to prepare very well against the complicated as very much here at home and the main target is first to go to go through the league and then we will think about the classico. Gemma joins us now each time we have fun. Looking ahead to our classical, it's very, very different, isn't it? So when these two teams met earlier in the season in the sense, you've got rear Madrid coming with a momentum after that extraordinary comeback against PSG, Barcelona have come together beautifully over the last few weeks. This is going to be a brilliant game at the Bernabeu. Yes, that will be a classical, not the thing we saw in the first leg where Barcelona guard the press, they were not still recovered from the message traumatic departure. They didn't have goal. They have a bunch of talented young players without experience. But there was a feeling of depression in all the team with Ronald kuma and everything was going wrong for the club. Now they kill it. I think we have to say it once again, done in the winter transfer market. They really did good signings. They have goal and they had fun playing the players had fun earlier today. So it's another thing. And they will see what happened in Istanbul. We'll see what happened again. But they will be, of course, much higher than Real Madrid, but we are talking about a different team. While Real Madrid will be at their best as well because of course that amazing comeback against PhD gave them a lot of energy. They have the key players, 100% feed they have an amazing goalkeeper, a great killer in the area like Karim and sema, so I think on ESPN+ at this time next week we are going to be seeing next Sunday we will be seeing a great, great show. Jemma sums up quite nice. It's like almost a hangover, wasn't it? Before going into this game at the camp now, it's like there's no messy. What's happened to all the stars in this tie, but obviously what has happened over the last few months just sets this up beautifully. It really does. And what a turnaround ever since Javier arrived at Barcelona and has gotten his team playing well, giving them an identity and then the transfer window in January, show many of those players come in, have made a significant impact. And now you have a Barcelona trending very much in the right direction. Looking enjoying their football and looking to get their fans more to celebrate. Real Madrid, they're going to win the title. That's no question. They have their sites firmly set on the Champions League. Will there be a little bit of a hangover after that PSG resolve? And as we all know, the classical just provides something different. Regardless of form, regardless of what else is going on, this one means an awful lot, especially given how flat the first one was. Yeah, and it remains one of the biggest games in football. Oh, without a doubt, without a doubt. And I think the best thing about this one now is I think it's been a while since Barcelona of one one. But it seems going into this one for as good as Real Madrid. Barcelona have got that energy back. And I think in the past, that's the thing which you always wanted to see, like it's the two clubs, but there's two clubs in a good moment. So it's definitely going to be a game to watch. So it's German said, of course, next Sunday will be Real Madrid against Barcelona from the Santiago bird about coverage, starts here on ESPN+ at 3 p.m. eastern. That's it then. That brings us to the end of today's show. Thank you very.

"One will trust me. No one will come for name in the summer. Messi is different. I think if chubby picks up the phone and say, hey, why don't you come home? And it can happen. This might happen. For Neymar, I don't know who's going to come now and spend the money days on the wages, below the transfer fee or something like that. I use edge and with the form that he has, I think this won't be tricky, but I think everything is pretty open for the manager for the sports director for the president for Neymar for Messi for Kellyanne. I think there's a lot of uncertainty because after what happened and the situation right now to be fair, I think we have to say why it is. It is a mess. Jules saying it looks like messy is going to go back to Barcelona, Louise. Does this make sense? Yeah, I mean, yeah. If you want to go, I'm going to show that everybody's going to be happy to have him back again. I'm not sure if he's going to be available, but in the other hand, guys, to find a place to name, I don't think that is to try to find someone has to find a place to name her. I think the name that needs to find a new challenge, something that actually he enjoyed because in the moment that he doesn't enjoy it, I'm not talking about money. People talks about no money, wages and everything. I think he's not worried about that. He's worried about he wants to fill once again important the feeling was to enjoy playing on a game trying to win more trophies and at the moment you can see that it's not enjoying the face, the body language doesn't look like so hopefully we can see back again the name are we all see for many years because definitely it's a joy to watch and anyone who's seen the Netflix documentary. Now it's all Shaka hislop's fault. Or is it no? That's what it seemed to be. All right, listen, I understand exactly where Louis is seeing, but nima asked for this. Neymar chose to leave Barcelona. He wanted that challenge where he was a focus. He wanted to be the face of the project. A project that has gone disastrously ever since his arrival, despite how much to spend, despite what managers come in, PSG, just on delivering on their promise. And now that dream that he seek told it in that manner turned into nightmare, is instant deal. And I for one don't have many sympathies. It's crazy, isn't it? In BAPE, Neymar Messi, in August we were like, wow. You know, this team's going to dominate. It's going to be must watch. Yeah, it seemed like it was perfect, didn't it? Yeah. But here we are. I think they start to show a few sort of failings earlier in the season. Maybe it's not going to be as perfect because we all saw it. But then again, it's like the Champions League. It's a very, very competitive task itself. You go up against Real Madrid, who've got the richest pedigree I think of any side in its history. So I think if they would have lost that to a, say, like a sport in lesbian or something like that. I think it's a slightly different conversation. Obviously, they blew it. But still, you know, the standard is so high. I think I'm very interested in the point that Frank was making about how there's like a losing culture in that competition within it and getting to the final and winning it is her way to get rid of it because you see the way that they've tried to do it with that front three and it's an incredible front three on paper. But then there's also it's gone blue again. I'm talking about man city. They don't have that star power like that. They have the collective, but they have also not won it. So what's the best formula to find success at that sort of stage? Like, what is it? I don't know. Something must know. Exactly.

Monocle 24: The Foreign Desk
Soft Power 2020
"Am joined today on special soft power program by mongols foreign editor megan gibson monocle culture editor kiara ramallah and monocle twenty four culture correspondent and eurovision desk chief. Fernando augusto up. We have a lot to cover in analyzing who made l. top ten this year and who didn't but we should talk about first of all meghan. What an unusual year for calibrating soft power. This was because of course it was like every country on earth given the same test it was like he is a pandemic deal revert. And see what it says about you. As a nation did it make a difference on how countries will seen by the rest of the world and soft power terms. It absolutely did like you said every country was dealing pretty much the same set of problems but just as internally the pandemic kind of shed light on where countries weren't up to snuff and where there's certain systems were lacking or the social welfare net was not working so too did a show which countries were really relying on kind of coasting approach to diplomacy and soft power. Every country had to turn inward in some respect. You had to face an economy. Crunch you had to face a healthcare crisis but a lot of countries still managed to think about diplomacy and what. They're projecting abroad and to other countries and global cooperation. And that is something. I think that kind of threw up some surprises when we actually looked at the year in terms of soft power some countries that have never made our list before immediately caught our eye. Well let's talk about that. We'll come back a bit later to how different countries responded to the covid nineteen crisis. But let's look first of all at our top ten and meghan all ask you again. You were talking about surprise entries in the top ten. Who is there. The see that hasn't been before i think the first one. I'm going to go to taiwan. And i should say we've done top ten this year. Usually we do top twenty five. We quickly realized that there weren't twenty five countries. That actually made that good impression on the world. I would say this year. A peace prize in the nineteen forties. Exactly we cut it down to ten and picked the ten countries that did something notable on the world stage and taiwan absolutely one of them from their stellar leadership in actually handling the virus. Which i mean has seen the country. Even today has had quite a minimal effect. On at the helm of its citizens numbers have been tiny and given their proximity to china. Remarkable for that. That's just been something that they've really been able to step up and show that they've had good leadership and for such a tiny country and a country that has been long grappling with a very antagonistic neighbor. That's been really impressive. And i think we've also could look at another country that has made our list consistently but also small and has done really well with the pandemic and that's new zealand new zealand again a beneficiary of its leadership and of its leader. Another factor we will come back to later in the show. I wanted to bring you in now. Kiara refu- look at the top ten. Were there any entries in there that left out at you. It's difficult for me to look at this without my cultural hat on. Because i do think that cultural exports make up so much of a country soft power their own way. You know if you do have a tv hit. That really can change. The international perspective of people have on your country in the issue. We have profile of borgen. The danish show which kind of guess kicked off almost a huge facination with scanning wa. I'm happy that south korea is in the fair number and i were discussing. Grammy results on are getting their first ever kind of major grammy nomination. I mean that is huge because the grammys are essentially a us kind of awards ceremony. Yes of course it has one global subcategory but it's largely. Us fakest for a korean bond to be nominated as part of that really means that they have become not only a korean band moore global bond and that radius testament to the power of capes. I think south korea has really well deserved second-place cultural reasons but also for all the other reasons dr megan was discussing. It's very interesting. Also you you know you mentioned new zealand as well and perhaps it's a very niche reason to be very well known abroad but i do think that new zealand has got an increasing amount of really interesting. Musical acts that are genuinely world class. I'm talking the likes of zuma. Alice harding benet talking. Broods mullen williams all quite indie acts but in the the community which is very dedicated. Genuinely these are kind of agenda setting also around the world. So i think it's really interesting. That a tiny nation can produce a really interesting side of the musical experimentation side of things obviously around this table. Four nations are represented all nations with instantly recognizable and widely understood national brands. And that's my nation of australia. Kiara of italy fernando's of brazil megan's of canada which i notice is the only one in the top ten. This whole thing is just the most shameless stitch-up so fernando to bring you in brazil a country with a powerful national brand and yet you are not in the top ten this year. Do you feel especially put out by that is. Is there a case you would like to make well. No no no not not in two thousand twenty eight gave you the big buildings builder. People would be surprised by me. Because i always a believer brazilian. I'm very proud of being resilient. And i am still an and we do have an amazing opportunity to be one of the best countries in soft power so perhaps in a few years will be there the top of the list but honestly i mean this year has been terrible for brazil president. He's an isolationist. he's not handling very well. The situation in the rain forest which matters a lot for the outside world. Perhaps those of us who enjoy breathing so exactly. But i mean it. It is an issue in brazil. but i notice. We've all my friends when they say. Oh how during forest the amazon. Your president doesn't care. And of course his declaration sometimes every day he said something quite offensive to specific groups. And it's funny. I was trying to say i mean. What is brazil doing. well now we. We are student load of great things but even at football you have. Our biggest star neymar liked by some. But he's but even in brazil. Laura people don't like neymar like perhaps some aspects of his personality. So then i think even football. We're not so well liked turfing. We need to improve. I am an optimistic. I think things will change but two thousand twenty is yeah. I agree it. It's not the year of brazil. And i do think this year has been a blip for a lot of countries and as i was saying you know cultural experts from italy. Obviously still very strong italian food still eating around the world unloved around the world especially on this table but this year it was all about the countries that had cut through and what the cut through was what the stories that were resonating around. The world like fernandez. The amazon is what people were thinking about. When they thought about brazil they were not thinking of amazing beaches. Or you know wonderful culture and things like that it was the bad headlines that were really being projected around the world just finally in this first part of the show. I am going to rise heroically above complaining too much about the struggles exclusion in favor of new zealand. And just let these self evident absurdity of that speak for itself but meghan there couple of other countries which again have shoes soft power in princeton fact arguably the countries with the to hugest soft power imprint i e the united kingdom and the united states neither of the mike it and is that just about covid nineteen and all the people who happened to be leading them at the moment. It is definitely down to leadership. Soft power is usually something that is built up over years and decades so usually it can survive a bad year it can survive a wrong thinking government but in the case of the uk and definitely the us. It's not that. Diplomacy was neglected in the last few years. I mean we've seen a lot of policies that have been actually hostile to global cooperation. And i think a lot of people's perceptions of those countries have really shifted especially when it comes to the us under donald trump.

The best team one and appear she will get CIANCI's the third clearly. Stating the obvious but there were good chances. You'd expect much better protect the MVP chance not long before halftime quite an embarrassing finish. To be honest and I personally think by got macho a first gear. In terms of you know what they can produce. were, able to control the game and when the Champions League yeah. This wasn't quite what we are expecting. Frank. Why not? Well because of clumsiness, some some players and and just mentioned MVP I think I'm not sure that mini. Was the best team overall during the season of chimpanzee. Yes. But then that game I think they were in control of the game but personally, I had some chances to to to surprise him to kill them even and. The fantastic new year in goal I. Think. Could have lead the game in the first half but again, mini chinses wasted by a the strikers and I think Keefe I can regime the game I.

Not WanNa take chances really going forward because the the time that they did take those chances going forward than PSG had opportunities and when we say that PSG had opportunities, we're talking about PTSD team who had the chances fall to the right people. It's too bad is to Neymar is to Maria three clear opportunities in my opinion. In the first half they not take advantage of and from then on it was difficult to see PTSD to get after by Munich particularly after by an escort PSG got disorganized, they were more concerned about the files, the yellow cars, the physicality of the game rather than playing the game a no better example of that that Neymar who in the second half had difficulties trapping the ball passing. The ball doing the basic stock he was busy drawing fouls but not actually having an impact on the game. We

Neymar goes in search of Ronaldo's record
"Los Angeles. International football is over domestic action of course returns this weekend as well. Neymar to pse scored of Corser Brazil during the break we play this weekend the the idea the club years the face Strasbourg France on Saturday afternoon so he should be back early enough if you after the game against Peru in La on Tuesday night backing you up early enough to be able to recover and then play on on Saturdays sometimes there's a bit of an issue with the place from South America. They come back late in international break and then they get arrested. That's the idea the club at the moment of horror and people are declared would like him to be involved in that game against Tries Boll his first game since the end of last season because you obviously hasn't played since during his his whole transfer saga then you'd be suspended for the first three as much so he wouldn't play against Madrid in Midweek mid week the following week so that would be good against brought to give him a bit of game time as we saw against Brazil. He looks fit looks good form so I think PSI looking to benefit it. From what about the fans chills. That's the big question bigger than you know would. They won't even vote will the coach and the players want even vote because that's a yes yes. The fans is the big question mark. The beginning known what kind of reception we get from the pilot projects especially from the ultras were very violent to be fair to him during the transfer Saga with insults and banners and chance against him. It'd be very interesting to see what kind of research gets you know. I guess he's father would be then I and some of the friends in their box stadium recession will they get as well how would feel about going to the by depress where he was so keen on leaving the club and leaving pirates in the summer it'd be interesting and I think all the cameras all the photographers and everyone will have the is just on name I in the whole afternoon to see how we behave and and again what reception gets an extraordinary situation as a player. Can you ignore strawberry situation brought on by. I am self yet and I've said it before. I have absolutely no sympathy for the man that wanted to Franz and he's tried his utmost Frans on husband. The on his Mideast beatty can lie on it has to get them so well as Joe said. Yes to make sure and sharp and ready play if if needed for Thomas Turco ended day. That's his job. Can you ignore it. I think it's GonNa be. I think I'm interested to see what is going to do to the rest of the else right. Neymar I think mobile handle and try and try and block it out but I think L. affect the rest of the team probably more than it well. I mean listen I played with John Bonds and he after England Games he would get away from home and I can honestly see affected did me because then I started to look after him so I think the rest of the team are going to be affected probably woman name actually thing that Neymar as we have seen in passes. EC Two tiers and I do believe that this will have an impact on the way he approaches the game and any will impact his performance is now way to cure all of that his sadness joys his frustrations defense frustration is for him to play an play well yeah and do Neymar things out on the field. Non Name are things being clown but Neymar things showcasing his talent. He does that enough times all of a sudden fencer fickle. They may just go well back of business guy but in order to do that you have to play play whale undo so consistently feels like that's the only way this thing turns around

Look, I know it might be hard for neymar to do this. But you have a legal team for a reason to defend yourself through the proper legal channels. So now because whether or not. Is innocent.
