So whereas before you couldn't, so clearly.
So yeah, it's been a natural kind of partnership to work together with and thoroughly enjoyed.
I've had one shot.
But when was that?
When you beat... No, at my wedding night.
At my wedding.
So my wife was like, you have to have one.
The hips got a bit loose.
I feel like it's very manager orientated now and it's more of a chess game than an end to end kind of football basketball game.
It's definitely not as exciting as it used to be and again I could be completely wrong but I just don't feel like there's the calibre of player anymore maybe there used to be.
If you name the players back in history and, like, talking like Ronaldinho, Ronaldo, Zidane, I just don't feel like there's so many big icon players anymore.
And I don't know if that's down to managers and tactics and, like, you have to stay on the right wing, you can't move from there, you have to come in here.
They're basically... I feel like managers now, and I could be wrong, it's just my opinion, but...
they're basically running the game whereas before like you'll say with Sir Alex I'll say with Harry Redknapp with Angelotti Zidane the players played the game whereas now I feel like the managers are playing the game but that's my opinion it's interesting you say that because I think that when we say that and we're probably like in our you know 50s 60s
they love saying that you say don't dare say oh in my day gosh I think it's right about the coaches it's probably coached too much over coached there's not a lot of freedom in players it's not Mavericks really especially with the attacking players maybe yeah but yeah I just I don't know I look for example at Grealish when he was at City he was like just stayed out of there I'm like at Villa you were coming in Guardiola is an incredible manager and I would never disrespect him whatever but
That player now doesn't have the freedom to do what he does best, which is ultimately what got him there.
So that's just kind of, I feel, the way that football's going.
Again, it evolves.
Generations change.
Long throw-ins are back in play now, so you never know.
