28.707 - 30.65 Chris Kamara

Good morning. Welcome to Goals on Sunday.

30.67 - 31.091 Alex Scott

How are you?

Chapter 2: How has Harry Kewell's family life changed after stepping back from football?

34.677 - 38.062 Alex Scott

Yeah, working hard this week. Come on, then. Who are you dancing with?

0

38.103 - 46.797 Chris Kamara

I can't tell him. I can't tell him. Come on. No, I've got to keep it a secret until next week. Oh, dear. I can't. Spoilers.

0

46.817 - 48.6 Alex Scott

I was going straight down the bookies as well.

0

50.217 - 56.518 Chris Kamara

Well, I'm stiff sitting on this sofa today. I am stiff. But look, you had a great week last week. What have you been up to?

0

Chapter 3: What does Harry Kewell think about watching football as a manager versus a player?

56.538 - 61.253 Alex Scott

I had a good week this week as well. I was doing a Christmas show in BBC Scotland on Friday night.

0

61.514 - 63.079 Chris Kamara

Christmas already? Yeah.

0

65.185 - 68.649 Alex Scott

Yeah, that's how long in advance you do Christmas shows, yeah.

0

68.73 - 71.233 Chris Kamara

I can't tell you what it is, though. OK.

0

71.293 - 73.876 Alex Scott

Once again, you'll see me all over Christmas. Oh, no.

75.158 - 87.113 Chris Kamara

Joining us on the sofa, a man who has won both the Champions League and FA Cup. Yes, Cami, I know you're looking at me like that. And was known for scoring some sublime goals for his clubs, including Liverpool and Leeds.

87.133 - 90.197 Alex Scott

G'day, mate. Or is it Mark Hockney these days?

90.177 - 92.219 Harry Kewell

Probably more northern now.

Chapter 4: What challenges did Harry Kewell face during his management career?

92.239 - 101.129 Harry Kewell

But every time I speak, everyone can really pick out the Australian accent straight away now. So I feel like I'm going more Australian. I don't know. What do you hear? I don't know.

0

101.149 - 106.295 Alex Scott

When I'm in America, everyone says, are you Australian? So I've got no idea.

0

107.616 - 115.645 Chris Kamara

I'll just keep it straight and I'm going to keep my East London accent. So out and out Cockney. But Harry, thanks for joining us today. What have you been up to recently?

0

116.283 - 128.164 Harry Kewell

Nothing really, just kind of chilling out, taking a little bit of time out from football and hanging out with the family, which I haven't had a lot of time to do, especially with my career and then going from football straight into management.

0

128.224 - 140.485 Harry Kewell

So kind of just taking a back seat and relaxing and enjoy being a father, but it also gives me an opportunity to just go out and watch football at a bit more of a relaxing kind of position.

140.465 - 144.751 Alex Scott

Are you the taxi now, or you just drive the kids here and there and everywhere?

144.771 - 146.033 Harry Kewell

Dad's Uber, I'm called.

Chapter 5: How does Harry Kewell reflect on his time at Leeds United?

146.434 - 155.086 Harry Kewell

Dad's Uber. Which, like I said, I actually enjoy it. I'm going from one place to another place, picking other people up here, there and everywhere. I think I might start charging, actually.

0

156.168 - 159.132 Alex Scott

That's what Uber drivers do.

0

159.152 - 168.666 Chris Kamara

You said about you do go and watch a lot of football now, but are you able to just watch it and enjoy, or are you still that player, that manager that's totally analysing everything all the time?

0

169.186 - 188.157 Harry Kewell

No, definitely analysing. I literally switch off from where the ball is. I'm looking at what kind of teams are playing, what their formation is, what their structure is, how they're trying to beat the opponent. So it's not me just sitting there enjoying it. I'm just literally going there trying to just pick little holes and what would I do in that situation, that kind of thing.

0

188.137 - 204.561 Alex Scott

That's what happens when you become a manager or a coach or whatever. You can't go to a game and just sit and watch the ball and watch the goals and all that. You're watching the team, you're watching the formation, you're watching everything because your education will never be complete in football. That's one thing for sure.

Chapter 6: What were the highlights of Harry Kewell's career at Liverpool?

204.581 - 225.436 Harry Kewell

No, and I don't think you can. I think the day you stop learning is the day that you give up. I think you can always learn, I think there's always things out there you can learn. I even sometimes watch the manager itself, how he's reacting into certain situations, because I'm quite hot-headed, you know, when I'm on the touchline. So it's nice to see in situations where I think, how do they react?

0

225.496 - 227.219 Harry Kewell

And they're all little tips you can learn.

0

227.64 - 233.871 Chris Kamara

So even like watching and how you're just saying, I'm hot-headed and I'm this, do you feel like you're ready to get back into it now?

0

234.155 - 258.067 Harry Kewell

Look, I'm not lying. I can't wait to get back into it. I enjoy it. I enjoy the tactical side of football and I love figuring out ways to beat opponents. And even when you do lose, it's frustrating, but it's like learning from that and how can you come back from that and turn the team around from a disappointing result to a better result and kind of make them believe in it as well.

0

258.127 - 259.909 Harry Kewell

So it's a great job.

260.007 - 264.493 Alex Scott

What about your family though? How do they feel about it because you're a different person when you become a manager?

Chapter 7: What lessons has Harry Kewell learned from his management experiences?

265.955 - 284.158 Harry Kewell

Well, it's one thing you learn even on your license, you know, because you get coaches that come in and you always say you're not going to be that kind of person, but it's very hard. But again, it's things you learn because I've spoken to managers where they've gone and some can switch off, some can't. I can't.

0

284.138 - 305.01 Harry Kewell

And again, that's something that I'm learning, you know, because you can't like from a high of winning, you come home and you're like, wait, dad's home and all that. And then you come home and you've been done by a set piece where you've worked on all week or you've someone slipped or it just hasn't gone your way or maybe VAR has come into it and it's just lost it out.

0

305.03 - 306.973 Chris Kamara

Oh no, he's already gone there with VAR.

0

307.544 - 317.322 Harry Kewell

It can swing your mood, but you've got to kind of separate it. And I've worked along some great managers and some great managers have given me some good information.

0

321.991 - 328.303 Chris Kamara

And a warm welcome back to Goals on Sunday. Yes, where Harry Kuehl is our guest. Harry, watching that, how do you feel?

329.448 - 345.749 Harry Kewell

I have to say it's actually nice to look back and see your career and see the goals and all that because you do forget about it. I mean, you don't mentally forget about the goals because if someone does ask you about something, you can kind of remember, but it is lovely to see.

345.769 - 348.553 Alex Scott

Do you remember going back to when you first came over to England?

348.719 - 350.101 Harry Kewell

Yeah, I remember the whole trip.

Chapter 8: What are Harry Kewell's future aspirations in football management?

350.381 - 351.462 Alex Scott

Go on then, tell us about it.

0

351.863 - 352.424 Harry Kewell

How long you got?

0

352.744 - 354.606 Alex Scott

Yeah, we'll shorten it down for you.

0

354.626 - 377.595 Harry Kewell

We'll shorten it down. Well, me and Brett Emerton, we left Sydney at 15 years old. And we got on the flight over to England. And it was that long ago where you actually, because we were that young, we couldn't even get off the planes. So we had to sit in Bangkok on the plane. And we ended up getting off at Heathrow. And we thought someone from Leeds was going to come and meet us. No one was there.

0

377.575 - 379.978 Alex Scott

What, you're a 15-year-old and no one's come to meet you?

379.998 - 396.36 Harry Kewell

No one's come to meet us. So me and Brett, we were at Heathrow, thinking, well, how do we get to Leeds? So we had to ask. So we got the tube all the way to King's Cross. Walked up to King's Cross on the escalators, and you see that big sign with all the trains and all that? Asked how to get up to Leeds. Got there. So we're thinking, once we got on the train,

396.34 - 414.895 Harry Kewell

We'll get off at Leeds and someone will be there. No one was there. So we're thinking, okay, well, where do we go now? So we got in a cab and we went to Ellen Road. And I remember going to Ellen Road and we got out and we're looking at the big blue gates and thinking, okay, well, now where do we go? So we just walked in there and then remember the security guard, Jack? Yeah, go on.

414.915 - 415.817 Harry Kewell

Jack, the Rottweiler.

415.957 - 416.398 Alex Scott

Yeah, yeah.
