Hello and welcome to the good, the bad and the football. Before we get going, everyone here at the podcast wants to wish Sir Alex Ferguson a very speedy recovery. Right, this is very exciting for me, folks. A Premier League great on the show. Six foot four, five Premier League titles, one Champions League title and Premier League royalty. Peter Schmeichel.
I thought he was talking about me then. How are you, mate?
I'm 6'2", not 6'4". This is what it's all about.
Before we get into it... You're still claiming to be a goalkeeper, by the way. Fucking hell. Did you hear the intro? Did you hear the intro?
I just wanted out of the way... He's got a point, though, hasn't he? What is it with you? He's ex-United lad, like. The nicer I am to you, the worse you are to me. It's like a keeper podcast, isn't it? I feel like we've had about 10 keepers on. Keeper podcast, we've got keepers every week. I like a goalkeeper, you know what I mean? We've got the best here, though, haven't we? I've got to say, oh, yeah. Well, you know, I've David Seaman in my corner all the time. And when Peter turned up, oh, for me, it's like...
One of the greats. That's two of the best ever. He's the best. David seems the second for me.
I love David. I sometimes wish that I... could have done a little bit what he did. A little bit of the calmness and a little bit of, didn't work for me though. It's just when you, obviously when you're that far away from your career, you know. Last week was my 25th anniversary of leaving the Danish national team. You get that far away from football and you watch some of the clips back and you look at yourself and you go, ooh. And then you look at David, just... just plodding along, you know.
Obviously, United-Liverpool, what a game that was, 3-2. When they've come back at 2-2 at first and you three are watching the game, what's going through your minds?
Well, it's just totally different from the first half to the second half, after 10 minutes and thinking this is going to be easy. I'm thinking three, four, five and then the game just totally changes. I think United probably lost a little bit of discipline. They were just empty in the middle of the pitch and they were just running straight through, which is a little bit of a weakness of United anyway. We know that athletically they're not great through the middle and it could happen.
Then the mistake. brentford game so when colby went through would have been you know probably the best assist ever yeah and um ahmad missed the chance ahmad was literally out of the game you know and he had to come off at half time yeah now she's picked up a little bit of an injury she's got better i was at the game i don't know if you were at the game but i was at the game and then obviously you see different things that what the cameras are showing you But the work that he puts in and how well he presses and how well he closes down, it's not really there to be seen on the TV screen. So missing him, and add to that, and Bueno on the right and Cunha doing the same with Bruno behind, that sort of...
four players, the way they were pressing Liverpool's back forward. They never had a chance to get out. Then Jesper had to come out and Ahmad came in. And the first thing Ahmad does is to give the ball to Zorba's right. And that killed Ahmad again, you know. And, you know, I feel sorry for that. No, I'm not criticising him because that can happen. But then they score and, you know...
I think that was a big factor in the game early doors. It hit the team a little bit hard.
Big factor.
The way they pressed, like Pete was saying, the way they pressed the game was a big factor. Because when you're playing in midfield and you've got the forwards pressing hard, it allows you to push up and the defence all push up. And it gets all condensed. And football's a lot easier when a pitch is condensed. As a defending team, it's a lot easier when it's condensed than what it did at the first half. The first half, they were brilliant.
Just to change the second half.
He didn't have to go anywhere.
