What can we expect from today's Football Show?
Good morning and welcome to the football show. What a morning we have in store for you today. It is Wednesday, if you're still keeping track. And if you do know what day it is, then you're probably doing something very important in keeping us all on track. So thank you very much for that. With us this morning, definitely Gary Neville and possibly Graham Souness, Wi-Fi permitting, if we get a hold of him. We'll also hear from Roy Hodgson and we'll hear from Ralph Hasenhutl. We'll also be joined by the Leeds MD, Angus Kinnear. And we think you're going to love it.
We're still fighting for this title and he's got to go to Middlesbrough and get something. And I'll tell you, honestly, I will love it if we beat them. Love it.
We will return to that iconic Premier League moment a little bit later on in the programme. Graham Sooners has been busy with a Pritt stick and a paperclip and his internet is back up and working. So we'll be hearing from Graham very shortly as well. In the meantime, though, Matt Letissier and Patrick Davison sat down to speak to Ralph Hasenhutl earlier this week.
Thanks very much for joining us. I thought we might actually start with your playing career because it ran at exactly the same time as Matt, who's obviously with us. Just tell us firstly, what kind of a player were you?
Me? Not too much speaking about me as a player, I think. I was a typical striker, centre forward, wall player if you want. Less running, I think that is a little bit to compare with Matt.
Thanks very much. Would you have been familiar with Matt Letizia when you were playing? Because football was a bit more parochial then, wasn't it? There was English football, Austrian football, German football. It wasn't as global then. So every now and again, would you see highlights of a Letizia volley back home?
Yeah, I saw the goals. Fantastic technique and fantastic strikes. I was always a big fan of English football. I had two chances to come to England as a player, but I didn't make it. The signing period, I think it was called, I was training there for two weeks. But I didn't make it. I wasn't good enough, maybe. And I would always like to play in England as a player. I enjoyed the football very much. And when you tell me to that time that I one time be a manager in this league, I would tell you that you have to change your medicine because I would never believe that this would happen. But I'm very, very happy that I get the chance to be here as a manager and enjoy every day to work here.
That's good to hear. Now, I know it's probably not a fantastic subject to broach in this interview, but I'm just fascinated, really, not because of the result against Leicester. What I'm interested in is those days just after that, how did they affect you? And what did you do to turn around the players in the belief in themselves that they are good enough to stay in this league?
At first I must always say thank you to the club, that Martin especially was really supporting me in that moment because I said to him, when I'm in your case now, then I would sack me. Very honest. Yeah, we were hopeless and we were absolutely a disaster. But Martin said that he knows how much I invest, he knows how much I do for this club and he He's 100% sure that we find back to the successful way. We all lost a little bit our direction, especially also me. It was very important, I think, this first time in my entire managing career that I was really this successful. It was, for me, a very, very important period and I learned a lot. But when I look back, it was a very, very difficult situation moment because we lost 9-0 and then we played twice against Man City away.
And in the same year to have such a turnaround, I was always speaking about normally you don't get the chance as a coach to have this turnaround. Normally you're... the next manager gets the chance not you and i did i did get the chance and therefore i was very thankful and my team and and we together uh yeah found the way back to be successful just because it's what i do i'm really interested those post-match interviews so you've said whatever you've said to your players you've lost nine nil the mood's obviously terrible
