00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,000
You're listening to the Footglitch Podcast. Love football, learn English.

2
00:00:08,000 --> 00:00:14,000
What were the main reasons Manchester City defeated Chelsea in their opening game of the season?

3
00:00:14,000 --> 00:00:17,000
How positive are the Chelsea fans about this season?

4
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:23,000
What is the goalkeeping situation like at Chelsea and do they still miss Peter Czech?

5
00:00:23,000 --> 00:00:30,000
And what do the adjectives reactionary, inferior, elite, rash and others mean?

6
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Welcome back to the Footglitch Podcast.

7
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:56,000
The best English learning podcast about football since sliced bread.

8
00:00:56,000 --> 00:01:02,000
My name is Denik Lukas. I'm your host and the Premier League has got underway.

9
00:01:02,000 --> 00:01:08,000
We have got Marvin here to talk about the first round and specifically about, I would say,

10
00:01:08,000 --> 00:01:15,000
the most interesting game between Chelsea and the current holders, Manchester City.

11
00:01:15,000 --> 00:01:21,000
Welcome back to... It's not welcome back, is it Marvin? It's your first time.

12
00:01:21,000 --> 00:01:24,000
Welcome to the Footglitch Podcast.

13
00:01:24,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Thank you, brother. We talked before so I can understand that confusion.

14
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:31,000
Thank you very much for having me on Zenech. I'm very happy to be back.

15
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:36,000
And I won't be here for the first time as it were. So, yeah, let's do it.

16
00:01:36,000 --> 00:01:40,000
Yeah. So, Marvin, is there anything we should promote?

17
00:01:40,000 --> 00:01:45,000
I know you are an English teacher. Do you want to tell people about your Instagram or anything?

18
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:48,000
Well, my Instagram nowadays is used as I'm a dad.

19
00:01:48,000 --> 00:01:52,000
So now I use my Instagram to just make videos of my son most of the time.

20
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
But yeah, I'm teaching English much like you. On italki, you can find me there.

21
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:00,000
I don't remember the link, but yeah, I'm teaching there every day.

22
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:05,000
And, you know, love the profession, doing exams, business, you know, interview practice,

23
00:02:05,000 --> 00:02:08,000
speaking development, all the usual kind of things, my friend.

24
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:13,000
From time to time, I see some of your posts and from what I can see,

25
00:02:13,000 --> 00:02:16,000
you're in top 1% of all teachers there.

26
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:20,000
So, Marvin, if anyone wants to have an amazing English teacher,

27
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:24,000
I think Martin is definitely your guy, so you can check him out.

28
00:02:24,000 --> 00:02:28,000
I will put the link to his profile in the description of this episode.

29
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:32,000
But, Marvin, we are here to talk football.

30
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,000
So what do you make of the first game of your team, Chelsea? You're a Chelsea fan.

31
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:40,000
Well, yes, I mean, it was an interesting...

32
00:02:40,000 --> 00:02:44,000
Unfortunately, it was a 2-0 loss in the first match.

33
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000
But unlike, I mean, and I'm, you know, if the people, the listeners probably don't know that much about me,

34
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:53,000
I'm probably one of the most reactionary fans that exist.

35
00:02:53,000 --> 00:02:55,000
I remember.

36
00:02:55,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Yeah, every time we lose, it's, you know, like the sky has fallen.

37
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
In this case, though, I'm a lot...

38
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:06,000
I know this might go against the general consensus, but I'm very positive about the team,

39
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:11,000
because unlike last season, where I actually felt close enough to walking away from it all

40
00:03:11,000 --> 00:03:16,000
because we were losing games at a time, there was no clear idea of what we were supposed to be doing,

41
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:21,000
in this case, I felt we were the better team against, well, completely the best football team in the league.

42
00:03:21,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I think we should have won.

43
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Unfortunately, we lost, and it's those small margins why you lose.

44
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
I don't think we lost because we were the inferior team.

45
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:32,000
So that's obviously a good way to get it going.

46
00:03:32,000 --> 00:03:38,000
And now we're going to start building a proper team again, because you cannot do it like you used to be able to do it,

47
00:03:38,000 --> 00:03:42,000
which was, you know, buy a couple, spend a lot of money, Allemand United style,

48
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:44,000
and outspend the other teams and win,

49
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:47,000
which is obviously what Chelsea have also done at times.

50
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
And you just cannot do it that way.

51
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
Now you need everything to fall into place.

52
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
You need a clear style.

53
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:55,000
We need a very technical team because the way the games are changing.

54
00:03:55,000 --> 00:03:58,000
And I was very happy with the technical performance.

55
00:03:58,000 --> 00:04:02,000
Even more, I was happy that some of the players have been ostracised,

56
00:04:02,000 --> 00:04:05,000
the ones that I personally did not think were good enough to play anymore.

57
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:07,000
So this is a very rare occasion.

58
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:10,000
Can you give us an example? Give us an example of players like that.

59
00:04:10,000 --> 00:04:17,000
Well, yes, the perfect example for me is Raheem Sterling on 325 grand a week

60
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:22,000
and hasn't played well more than five times in the two and a half seasons he's been there.

61
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:25,000
And I'm very happy to see that the manager didn't even put him in the squad,

62
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:27,000
which is what I've been crying for for years.

63
00:04:27,000 --> 00:04:31,000
And had we had a proper, we had two main issues, unfortunately.

64
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Number one, we don't have an elite number nine, Man City does.

65
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:35,000
He scored, we didn't.

66
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:38,000
And we also don't have a very good goalkeeper.

67
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:41,000
And the second goal was because the keeper should have saved it.

68
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:45,000
And thankfully, it's very easy to see that those are the only problems.

69
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:50,000
Whereas last season, we had more of a plethora of issues,

70
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:55,000
starting from lack of technical players being able to build out from the back,

71
00:04:55,000 --> 00:04:59,000
too many injuries, not enough clinical strike out again still,

72
00:04:59,000 --> 00:05:03,000
bad goalkeeper that we switched for Petrovic in the second half of the season.

73
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:05,000
So, yeah, I'm pretty happy in general with the start.

74
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:10,000
I mean, we should have done better, but, you know, on to the next game.

75
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:13,000
Yeah. Can I ask you this question?

76
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:21,000
Are you also being investigated like Man City because there were some financial irregularities in the past?

77
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Are you one of those teams? I think you are, right?

78
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:26,000
Not in the case of what's happening with Man City and the other teams.

79
00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Of course not. No one is.

80
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:31,000
No one compared to Man City at the moment, I think.

81
00:05:31,000 --> 00:05:34,000
Well, this is also a very different situation.

82
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:39,000
What happened in our situation is that the new owners actually flagged up a situation

83
00:05:39,000 --> 00:05:43,000
that they'd found from the previous ownership and admitted to it.

84
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:45,000
We had to pay a fine already.

85
00:05:45,000 --> 00:05:48,000
In terms of that profit and loss sustainability,

86
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:52,000
Chelsea is completely compliant due to the sales they made.

87
00:05:52,000 --> 00:05:57,000
And they made quite, if you noticed, we made quite a few sales this season, even in the previous.

88
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:00,000
A lot of players have been moved on for substantial fees.

89
00:06:00,000 --> 00:06:04,000
But yeah, I think there could be a potential ban again coming in.

90
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:06,000
But hard to really talk about.

91
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Deductions, points deductions.

92
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:11,000
Like we saw the same thing happening to Everton, Nottingham Forest.

93
00:06:11,000 --> 00:06:17,000
And to be honest, if it happens to these teams, it should happen to everyone that breaks the rules.

94
00:06:17,000 --> 00:06:18,000
Yes. And I'm actually on that.

95
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:23,000
And I don't care who it is, like if it's a big team or not, especially it should happen to City.

96
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:27,000
I'm on the opposite side of that, whereas I think it shouldn't happen to any of the teams.

97
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:31,000
I think that what happened with Everton was really unfair.

98
00:06:31,000 --> 00:06:36,000
They were trying to meet those sustainability situations by building a new stadium.

99
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:40,000
And I felt like, I don't know why, but it felt like, and I'm not a fan of Everton.

100
00:06:40,000 --> 00:06:44,000
I don't really like Everton, but I felt like they were kind of harshly done by.

101
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:46,000
It was a precedent step for sure.

102
00:06:46,000 --> 00:06:51,000
So now they have to kind of play it fair, right? With everyone else.

103
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:54,000
So, OK, so you also have a new manager.

104
00:06:54,000 --> 00:06:57,000
Mauricio Pochettino is gone.

105
00:06:57,000 --> 00:07:01,000
So now who is the manager? Sorry, I can't remember his name.

106
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:03,000
Now we have Enzo Maresca.

107
00:07:03,000 --> 00:07:06,000
I said his name. It could be a woman, right? These days.

108
00:07:06,000 --> 00:07:12,000
That is a possibility, but we haven't seen a female manager in the Premier League yet, I think.

109
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:13,000
It's possible.

110
00:07:13,000 --> 00:07:16,000
No, we haven't seen. You know, we might have a president.

111
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:19,000
The US president could be a woman now.

112
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:27,000
Yes, they are possible, but I'm very happy with him at the moment because there's a clear style of play that he's trying to implement.

113
00:07:27,000 --> 00:07:34,000
And the thing is, you know, just to get me on the side is to kind of understand where some of the problems are.

114
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:40,000
And for me, I noticed some of them and it seems he's tried to deal with almost all of them.

115
00:07:40,000 --> 00:07:43,000
And I was very impressed by the way he's handled those situations.

116
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:47,000
So what would be on top of the list for you of these problems then?

117
00:07:47,000 --> 00:07:52,000
Well, if you look at last season, in my opinion, there was a big problem with the attack.

118
00:07:52,000 --> 00:07:55,000
There was no attacking patterns and way of play, in my opinion.

119
00:07:55,000 --> 00:08:04,000
We played well at times, but because there was no set style of way of play, in one game we would be absolutely brilliant and the next game we'd be dreadful.

120
00:08:04,000 --> 00:08:08,000
And I think that comes from a lack of clear identity about what we're trying to do.

121
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:09,000
OK, that's true, right?

122
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:17,000
You are more reactionary to what the opposition plays, right? You adapt, you're trying to adapt to their style.

123
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:23,000
And that means that takes away from your own identity from the way you want to play your football.

124
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:24,000
Yes.

125
00:08:24,000 --> 00:08:30,000
I think, to be honest, personally, I actually believe in balance of those two things because it depends on who you are.

126
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:38,000
If you're Manchester City, you have the best players in the world, then you can have your clear identity and everyone else has to react.

127
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:46,000
But if you're Chelsea, a team that is now building a new team full of young talents, right?

128
00:08:46,000 --> 00:08:50,000
Players who still are a bit, what's the word for it, raw, right?

129
00:08:50,000 --> 00:08:54,000
You can say they are a bit raw. They need to develop.

130
00:08:54,000 --> 00:09:04,000
Players like Jackson and Kunku, we can see a lot of potential, but they are very young and inexperienced and reckless and often make the wrong decisions, right?

131
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Kunku, no.

132
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000
I'm surprised by what I just said.

133
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:09,000
No, Kunku is not one of those. He's more of one of the...

134
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,000
OK, how old is Kunku then?

135
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:13,000
I think he's like 24, 25.

136
00:09:13,000 --> 00:09:17,000
Well, that's still quite young. It's definitely young compared to you and I.

137
00:09:17,000 --> 00:09:21,000
He's played in the Champions League, he's scored in big games, won trophies.

138
00:09:21,000 --> 00:09:22,000
I don't think he's...

139
00:09:22,000 --> 00:09:23,000
Fair enough.

140
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:25,000
But Jackson, I agree, he's one of those players.

141
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:30,000
Yeah, I mean, obviously with a lot of young players, there will be inconsistencies, of course.

142
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:37,000
In general, last season we made one final, one semi-final. In the end, we managed to have a decent ending towards the season.

143
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:39,000
You can see the quality is there.

144
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:44,000
And one player in particular has really impressed, I think, you know who I'm talking about.

145
00:09:44,000 --> 00:09:45,000
Yeah, Palmer.

146
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:55,000
It's actually a Man City reject called Palmer. It brought him to the Euros as well. Oh my God, he was on fire.

147
00:09:55,000 --> 00:10:00,000
I definitely put him in my fantasy team, you know, as a result of those performances.

148
00:10:00,000 --> 00:10:05,000
And now he's a real force, you know, I think.

149
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:11,000
Absolutely. And he surprised a lot of people. Actually, we love him. His final ball is fantastic. He takes a risk.

150
00:10:11,000 --> 00:10:19,000
His passes are really good. He scores goals. He works hard off the ball. A complete bona fide star after just one season.

151
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
He was so close to helping us win the Euros as well.

152
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:25,000
That's true. That's true.

153
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:31,000
But it's nice to have him. And obviously, he played today. He was a little bit off it in place, but he hasn't really played.

154
00:10:31,000 --> 00:10:36,000
He's only just come back and he had one preseason game. So obviously, you've got to give a bit of time to get up to speed.

155
00:10:36,000 --> 00:10:40,000
But yeah, we're very lucky to have a player like that on the right hand side.

156
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:46,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah. I don't have him in my fantasy team because nowadays he's too expensive.

157
00:10:46,000 --> 00:10:53,000
And I was I was expecting that thing that he would be a bit tired, a bit rough on the edges.

158
00:10:53,000 --> 00:10:58,000
So I watched the game and I thought, as you said, you played quite well.

159
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:04,000
I thought there was a lot of intensity in your in your game. And I think you pressed quite, quite high.

160
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:08,000
And it seemed like your players were really up for it.

161
00:11:08,000 --> 00:11:23,000
I think the main difference for me was the the the way how Man City were just so much more clinical and just just there was this like little edge they had over you in terms of players like Haaland.

162
00:11:23,000 --> 00:11:27,000
And they just did that extra bit better than you did.

163
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:37,000
Like, for example, that Jackson scored a goal, but he was like fractionally offside, which I thought he should have really he should have really paid closer attention to what was happening in the game.

164
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:40,000
Like if you see you're offside, just step step back.

165
00:11:40,000 --> 00:11:45,000
Like all you need to do is like half a meter behind the player and you're not offside.

166
00:11:45,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Right. And he had a lot of time to do it.

167
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:52,000
So that for me, you know, he played really well, but those were the tiny margins in the game.

168
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:00,000
It's what I was saying before is that like lack of elite number nine for Chelsea and lack of good goalkeeper are the biggest issues.

169
00:12:00,000 --> 00:12:03,000
And they are the two things, the two reasons why we did not win today's game.

170
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:09,000
Unfortunately, I do like Jackson a lot, but he had a complete stinker to play.

171
00:12:09,000 --> 00:12:11,000
Wait, wait. Do you mean Marvin?

172
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:14,000
You talking about Jackson, the player, not Michael Jackson, the singer?

173
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:21,000
No, he was on it, you know, but yeah, Jackson had a very bad game, very bad game.

174
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:25,000
And there was the one I mean, he can be offside sometimes, but he should have scored that chance.

175
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
He had or he kicked it straight.

176
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:37,000
It wasn't just that as well. He dribbled the players. He had games like that last season where he'd be brilliant and then other times terrible.

177
00:12:37,000 --> 00:12:44,000
I think he's a very nice player, but you've got to take those chances, especially against the best teams.

178
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:47,000
You will get one or two and you cannot miss two.

179
00:12:47,000 --> 00:12:50,000
That's what will ultimately make the difference.

180
00:12:50,000 --> 00:12:58,000
That's why City always keep winning and they're just so robotic. They just keep doing it.

181
00:12:58,000 --> 00:13:03,000
Well, that's the difference. They've got a good striker.

182
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
You know what I liked? I liked how the commentator of this match described the game at one point.

183
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:14,000
He said it was as if the teams were playing PlayStation football.

184
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:18,000
Did you also hear that or were you watching the same?

185
00:13:18,000 --> 00:13:22,000
I've got Spanish because I'm living in Mexico. My commentary is in Spanish.

186
00:13:22,000 --> 00:13:23,000
Oh, yeah.

187
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:29,000
But yes, it's a new. I mean, we look at the way football has become in the last two seasons.

188
00:13:29,000 --> 00:13:33,000
So it has become a bit of a different game from the one that we grew up with.

189
00:13:33,000 --> 00:13:37,000
Right. It's counterattacks are maybe less than before.

190
00:13:37,000 --> 00:13:42,000
Now we're talking about controlling possession a lot more, which thankfully Chelsea did against a Man City team.

191
00:13:42,000 --> 00:13:49,000
That's good. But I did feel there was a sense of robotism to the game. But I think I don't know. It depends on tastes.

192
00:13:49,000 --> 00:13:52,000
Right. Football grows and our tastes also grow with that sometimes.

193
00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:00,000
I kind of like the possession style more. I didn't like it a few years ago when we had Maurizio Sarri as our coach and I hated the football.

194
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:09,000
But more recently, I watched this today and I love seeing them kind of play the balls between the two defenders, you know, trying to get in the pockets.

195
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:11,000
I do enjoy watching that.

196
00:14:11,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Yeah, I think you also save a lot of energy when you do that.

197
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:21,000
Even look at someone like City after they scored a goal. I thought they just stopped playing like they stopped attacking.

198
00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:27,000
It seems like they just let you play. And maybe that's that's the time where they just take the foot off the pedal.

199
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:32,000
Right. Just to just to take a little break in order to conserve their energy.

200
00:14:32,000 --> 00:14:34,000
Or I don't know if it makes any sense.

201
00:14:34,000 --> 00:14:45,000
That's what I'm saying. But that's just maybe what they can do so well. I imagine when Guardiola gives them the tactical tips or when he's coaching them,

202
00:14:45,000 --> 00:14:55,000
he is teaching him how to behave in different game situations rather than just play in the same way all the time, because that's another school of thought.

203
00:14:55,000 --> 00:15:01,000
Right. Play the same way all the time, no matter what the result is. That's one school of thought.

204
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:09,000
And then in my opinion, what Guardiola is like, you play differently when you're winning and you play differently when you are chasing the game.

205
00:15:09,000 --> 00:15:10,000
Of course.

206
00:15:10,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Would you agree?

207
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:20,000
Yes, I think actually it's a good idea sometimes, not at the end of games. I never like it when you score a goal and everyone starts defending in the last five minutes and they always concede.

208
00:15:20,000 --> 00:15:27,000
But in the case of what City did in this game, it was one of the very first times I've seen all of their players in their own penalty box.

209
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:38,000
I don't ever remember them doing this before. And it was quite smart because I think when we were both playing and trying to, we created some really good chances.

210
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:45,000
We got the ball forward, we got numbers over. And obviously when Neto got on, I think we looked a bit more dangerous.

211
00:15:45,000 --> 00:15:53,000
So I think the tactics were good from them to kind of keep that for a little bit and then got a lucky goal to kill it off.

212
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:58,000
And they did well, but they always will do well, I think, because they're a very, very good team.

213
00:15:58,000 --> 00:16:01,000
So let's talk about the goals a little bit then.

214
00:16:01,000 --> 00:16:09,000
So first Haaland scored a goal. I don't exactly remember the minute, but it was in the first half, I think around the 20th minute or something.

215
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:17,000
And Kukureya, was he too in that challenge or did he have no chance against Haaland?

216
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:24,000
It was not his mistake. I mean, he's seen as making a mistake because he's the one that gets across to try to cover the space that's been lost.

217
00:16:24,000 --> 00:16:30,000
But it was, I'm not sure if it was Colwell or Fafana, nowhere near the player when the ball is played.

218
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:37,000
He's got extra space to get the ball in, bit of a lucky touch. Kukureya tries to stop him. He can't quite do it and they say score.

219
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:45,000
You know what I think, Marvin? Whenever Kukureya makes a mistake, I think it's sort of exacerbated by his haircut.

220
00:16:45,000 --> 00:16:52,000
I don't know if it's my own theory. Like whenever I see him make a mistake, it's almost like I see it twice.

221
00:16:52,000 --> 00:17:00,000
Like I see it with double the intensity because of the hair I see. I don't know about you, but it's not just Kukureya specifically.

222
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:10,000
That almost sounds like I'm racist or something. It doesn't matter who it is, whether it's David Lewis, who had like, I don't know how to describe that hair, but like so much hair everywhere.

223
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:16,000
It used to be Salah. We have one player like that in the Czech team, Alex Král.

224
00:17:16,000 --> 00:17:17,000
Oh yeah, I know.

225
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:25,000
Somehow whenever they make a mistake or they are around something that goes wrong, I always kind of blame the hair subconsciously.

226
00:17:25,000 --> 00:17:27,000
Do you feel in the same way?

227
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:33,000
I think it might be because of the sense of messiness. You assume that that's how they play as well.

228
00:17:33,000 --> 00:17:37,000
And he's a bit of a rash player, just like you see him fly around.

229
00:17:37,000 --> 00:17:46,000
Yeah. You know, technically very good. I think like actually Halfway Through Light, you know, actually he did show a good level for us.

230
00:17:46,000 --> 00:17:56,000
We were making those kind of mistakes in the early part of the game. We were attacking well, but when it every time City got the ball out wide, I felt like it took a bit long for us to close down.

231
00:17:56,000 --> 00:18:04,000
And Doku was able to just have Malogusto on toast the whole game, which was a problem in the end.

232
00:18:04,000 --> 00:18:09,000
But in this case, that goal, I think it needed a bit of luck, obviously, because we did make the challenge.

233
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:16,000
You did make the challenge, but the ball just bounced back to him and unfortunately he was able to get the goal one on one.

234
00:18:16,000 --> 00:18:20,000
He was very strong, Holland, in that challenge again, like his muscles.

235
00:18:20,000 --> 00:18:28,000
Another player with weird hairstyle. Again, like, I just don't know, Marvin. I'm not a fan. I'm not a fan.

236
00:18:28,000 --> 00:18:37,000
I don't know if these players would play under someone like Alex Ferguson. I think he would have ordered them to have a haircut.

237
00:18:37,000 --> 00:18:42,000
Otherwise, they wouldn't be brought on the pitch. They wouldn't be allowed to play.

238
00:18:42,000 --> 00:18:52,000
And in my opinion, it reduces your vision, right? If you have so much hair, I think, for example, someone like Salah, now he has a new haircut.

239
00:18:52,000 --> 00:18:59,000
He looks more like me now. He doesn't have much hair. I think he will do much better. He already scored one goal.

240
00:18:59,000 --> 00:19:02,000
He always does at the beginning of the season. I know he does.

241
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:09,000
But I think we will see a resurgence of Salah as a result of him changing his haircut.

242
00:19:09,000 --> 00:19:13,000
I hope the same happens for Mudrik. I hope the same happens for Mudrik as well.

243
00:19:13,000 --> 00:19:15,000
Does he have a different haircut too?

244
00:19:15,000 --> 00:19:17,000
Shaved it. Yeah, it's really shaved now.

245
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:20,000
What about the tattoos? Has he covered his tattoos as well?

246
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:25,000
No, they are still there. Well, but you might not see them because he doesn't get to play.

247
00:19:25,000 --> 00:19:29,000
You have some players who have a lot of tattoos like Leona and Messi and they are still good.

248
00:19:29,000 --> 00:19:32,000
So I don't think we can blame the tattoos. Yeah.

249
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:36,000
The haircut, you know, that's a different story. At least I think so.

250
00:19:36,000 --> 00:19:44,000
Because I remember back in the day when I used to play football and when my hair was a little bit longer and I had to wear the, what do you call it, the headband?

251
00:19:44,000 --> 00:19:51,000
Headband, yeah. It actually annoyed the hell out of me at times, yeah. And I couldn't see very well.

252
00:19:51,000 --> 00:19:57,000
But, you know, I wanted to look good and I wanted to be attractive for females.

253
00:19:57,000 --> 00:20:05,000
So that was the reason I wore that. But football wise, it never helped me. So I'm still not a big fan.

254
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:08,000
So you didn't want to do the Jan Koller kind of style?

255
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:15,000
No, I'm doing that. That I'm doing now. I knew that would happen anyway, right?

256
00:20:15,000 --> 00:20:20,000
So that's something you can't prevent. Like you have receding hairline. Not you. Not you. You're younger than me.

257
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:23,000
But I think we're almost the same age, you know?

258
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:29,000
No, I think you're younger. I think you're also getting a lot of Mexican sun. Yeah. So sunshine.

259
00:20:29,000 --> 00:20:36,000
So I think you're getting like some extra nutrition from the Mexican sun and your hair still keeps growing.

260
00:20:36,000 --> 00:20:40,000
I mean, mine is also OK. It could be worse, to be honest. It could be worse.

261
00:20:40,000 --> 00:20:41,000
Definitely.

262
00:20:41,000 --> 00:20:44,000
I could look like, what's his name? Tenhark.

263
00:20:44,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Oh, God. Yeah, yeah. We could go down that road.

264
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:56,000
Yeah. OK. So to be honest, it's one of the toughest games to play anyway against City.

265
00:20:56,000 --> 00:21:02,000
So I think you showed some promising signs of, you know, some progress, I thought.

266
00:21:02,000 --> 00:21:09,000
So I completely understand that you're quite positive about this and I'm sure all Chelsea fans and the channels like this.

267
00:21:09,000 --> 00:21:17,000
We have so many fan channels everywhere. I don't know if you subscribe to any of those, but those fans go crazy sometimes, right?

268
00:21:17,000 --> 00:21:24,000
I don't pay attention to these. A lot of them, one or two of them are quite good, but a lot of them just trying to get money off the club, you know, profit from the club.

269
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:28,000
I mean, you know that. Arsenal started that with the fan TV. Arsenal fan TV.

270
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:32,000
I bet that was not your favourite show.

271
00:21:32,000 --> 00:21:42,000
When they lost, it was quite interesting. But like, no, I liked a few of them. I met Robbie at the Community Shield game and he was a pretty nice guy.

272
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:49,000
Yeah, he was very nice. I just didn't like the... there was two of them and one of them was a bit of a... was a criminal, the other ones needed...

273
00:21:49,000 --> 00:21:56,000
I like some of them were really nice guys. Actually, just trying to be a fan of the club and you respect that, right?

274
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:02,000
Because everyone loves their club and wants to support, consume content as much as possible.

275
00:22:02,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Absolutely. Also, let's mention Kovacic, who scored the second goal. Obviously, the ex Chelsea player and I thought it was a brilliant goal.

276
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:23,000
Maybe you will see it as a mistake of your defence that they let him do that. But in my opinion, it was some neat play from him and good finish.

277
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:30,000
OK, you could blame the keeper a little bit. He could have done better there. But then again, Ederson wasn't at his best either today.

278
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:34,000
Kovacic didn't celebrate though, so that was nice. Sure, wasn't it?

279
00:22:34,000 --> 00:22:42,000
Very nice. Actually, nothing against him. I mean, he was a nice player for us. We won a lot of trophies with him and I always liked Kovacic.

280
00:22:42,000 --> 00:22:47,000
I thought he was a good player, passed it well, moved it well, good football, tried his best.

281
00:22:47,000 --> 00:22:57,000
The fact he didn't celebrate, extra respect from me for that, that he didn't do that. He's got to score, he's got to try and help the team when he didn't do anything disrespectful.

282
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:05,000
So, that's all good. But yeah, I mean, 100% that should be saved. Would you have saved it?

283
00:23:05,000 --> 00:23:12,000
Well, I'm not a goalkeeper. Not you and you, your son would have saved it. My son can save it, but maybe not me.

284
00:23:12,000 --> 00:23:17,000
But the defence was bad and they did walk straight through. Same thing happened to us in a pre-season game against Inter,

285
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:22,000
where one of the players walked all the way through to hold in the middle and passed it when they scored. Similar thing.

286
00:23:22,000 --> 00:23:30,000
Again, high corner shot goal. But yeah, again, this is where unfortunately the margins of detail are very important.

287
00:23:30,000 --> 00:23:39,000
What separates a great team from a good team? And you cannot get away with having a terrible number nine or a terrible goalkeeper, unfortunately.

288
00:23:39,000 --> 00:23:42,000
And it shows. Sanchez, yeah. Your goalkeeper is Sanchez.

289
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:48,000
Yeah, and last season he was replaced by Petrovic, who was a much better goalkeeper than him.

290
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,000
I know they're trying to say that he's good at passing a ball out, which he is, he's not bad.

291
00:23:52,000 --> 00:23:56,000
But we've got another goalkeeper we just bought and I don't understand why he won't play.

292
00:23:56,000 --> 00:24:05,000
I have a suggestion for you. You could also ask Petr Cech to come back from his retirement. He is now an ice hockey goalkeeper.

293
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:13,000
Did you know that? He is playing in, I think it's the second professional league in the UK or something like that.

294
00:24:13,000 --> 00:24:19,000
It's not a joke. He is playing ice hockey now and he is a goalkeeper, so he's keeping himself fit.

295
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:26,000
I don't think he has forgotten how to play football, that maybe it would be a bit too old for modern football.

296
00:24:26,000 --> 00:24:33,000
We were very blessed to have that guy in our goal for so many years. Like, a wonderful, wonderful goalkeeper.

297
00:24:33,000 --> 00:24:37,000
We were blessed with goalkeepers. Since I was born, we've had good goalkeepers.

298
00:24:37,000 --> 00:24:43,000
And him, we had Courtois for a while as well after him. I prefer Cech a lot more.

299
00:24:43,000 --> 00:24:47,000
He's a legend, right? He must have been there for 10 years or something.

300
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:49,000
He won everything he could.

301
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:56,000
He did. And we won the Champions League thanks to his goalkeeping. We won the Europa League. He was fantastic.

302
00:24:56,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Marvin, do you remember we also recorded one episode of Zdenek's English podcast, my other podcast about Peter Cech?

303
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:06,000
Yes, I remember. I remember a great podcast.

304
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:14,000
If anyone is interested, there is a football episode about your goalkeeper legend, Peter Cech, recorded with this guest, Marvin.

305
00:25:14,000 --> 00:25:22,000
I think we did it like four or five years ago or so. And it's one Zdenek's English podcast, so you just have to do a bit of Googling and you will find it.

306
00:25:22,000 --> 00:25:29,000
I love it. I would have him back all day. He was a wonderful goalkeeper for us. He worked for the club for a while as well.

307
00:25:29,000 --> 00:25:34,000
Yeah, until he was fired. Not tired, fired.

308
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:41,000
I don't know if he got fired per se, but we'll have to see what happened with that.

309
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:48,000
I think there's something to do with Ibrahimovic. What's his name? Not Ibrahimovic, that's Latin.

310
00:25:48,000 --> 00:25:53,000
Ibrahimovic, I think he was associated with that era.

311
00:25:53,000 --> 00:26:03,000
And I think as a result, he had to make a complete change of the staff. And I think that's why he had to go.

312
00:26:03,000 --> 00:26:12,000
I think he is a professional in anything he does. Honestly, I cannot imagine him not doing his duties properly.

313
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:15,000
So I think he's more than anything, to be honest.

314
00:26:15,000 --> 00:26:20,000
Yeah, I agree. I've always been a big fan of his and it's a shame to go from that to Kepa.

315
00:26:20,000 --> 00:26:26,000
I still find it insane how on earth you managed to find, because I always said Kepa was the worst goalkeeper on Earth.

316
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:33,000
How we managed to find the worst goalkeeper on Mars and replace him with that, I don't understand.

317
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
The worst goalkeeper on Mars?

318
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:42,000
Because Kepa was so bad and Sanchez is even worse. I don't know how he managed to do this, especially in your team.

319
00:26:42,000 --> 00:26:48,000
I don't think Ramsdale is that good, but you've got two decent goalkeepers and we've got none.

320
00:26:48,000 --> 00:26:54,000
Ramsdale doesn't seem to be happy. There are some speculations of him leaving.

321
00:26:54,000 --> 00:27:04,000
I'm not surprised, he used to be number one. Then Raya came in and unfortunately nobody understood why Afteta chose Raya over Ramsdale.

322
00:27:04,000 --> 00:27:12,000
It took a few games and then everybody knew that this was a good decision.

323
00:27:12,000 --> 00:27:17,000
Yeah, he's much better with the feet. Nowadays the goalkeeper has to be the final defender, right?

324
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:24,000
So to make more overload, so you can play the ball out much more. That's why they changed Petra.

325
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Yeah.

326
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:31,000
Alright, Marvin. Well, it's been fantastic talking to you about Chelsea.

327
00:27:31,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Normally, under normal circumstances, I would wish you good luck because I have a lot of respect for my guests and anyone who wants to be on the Footgrish podcast.

328
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:45,000
But in this case, it's a bit difficult because you are a London rival as well, right?

329
00:27:45,000 --> 00:27:48,000
I support Arsenal, you are a Chelsea fan.

330
00:27:48,000 --> 00:27:50,000
Nobody's perfect.

331
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:54,000
Good luck to you as long as you finish below us. Good luck to you.

332
00:27:54,000 --> 00:28:01,000
Well, I'm willing to accept that as long as my son comes to say hello.

333
00:28:01,000 --> 00:28:07,000
A future Chelsea supporter already.

334
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:11,000
I got in there already, I just got to decide what position he's going to play.

335
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Sometimes I wonder, is this fair? The kids don't really have a choice, right? It's imposed on them.

336
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:28,000
What if your son wanted to support? Who is the biggest rival of Chelsea? I know you hate Manchester United, but who is the biggest Chelsea rival?

337
00:28:28,000 --> 00:28:31,000
I mean, in general, they say that Tottenham is it, right?

338
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:33,000
It's everyone's biggest rival.

339
00:28:33,000 --> 00:28:37,000
I mean, I do understand some historical factors.

340
00:28:37,000 --> 00:28:43,000
Yeah, but they never win anyway against us. Is that really a rival?

341
00:28:43,000 --> 00:28:45,000
It's more of a joke, right?

342
00:28:45,000 --> 00:28:55,000
For me, it's a cross-up really between Manchester United and Liverpool, but there is a certain thing with Arsenal, obviously, as well, because obviously now you're good again.

343
00:28:55,000 --> 00:28:59,000
But even then, you still haven't won anything for your golden era.

344
00:28:59,000 --> 00:29:00,000
That's true.

345
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:06,000
But I think we have a bit of something with Arsenal and Tottenham and then obviously Liverpool.

346
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:14,000
Liverpool, that's dated back for a while, since like, kind of 2003, 2004, we started winning and they didn't like it.

347
00:29:14,000 --> 00:29:20,000
But I know you personally always, Manchester United is the team you absolutely can't stand, right?

348
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:24,000
Yeah, absolutely. Despise a ball.

349
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:31,000
All right, well, we will see what happens this season. It will be exciting to watch only one round behind us.

350
00:29:31,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Tottenham, there is one more game to be played tomorrow. It's Tottenham.

351
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:36,000
Oh, yeah.

352
00:29:36,000 --> 00:29:46,000
Tottenham against, is it Leicester? A newly promoted side. And yeah, so many more games to go, so anything can happen.

353
00:29:46,000 --> 00:29:51,000
Marvin, it's been fantastic to have you here and I hope we can catch up in the future again.

354
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:53,000
Me too. Have a great day. Thanks for having me, mate.

355
00:29:53,000 --> 00:29:55,000
You take care. Bye bye.

356
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,000
All right, everyone, welcome back to the Language Corner.

357
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:08,000
As always, in this part of the show, I'm going to go through some language.

358
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:10,000
I'm going to clarify some vocabulary.

359
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:17,000
And that's something that English teachers like myself have to do in order to teach English.

360
00:30:17,000 --> 00:30:21,000
Yes, it's part of the learning experience.

361
00:30:21,000 --> 00:30:25,000
And this is your opportunity to learn something new.

362
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:29,000
Marvin is a well-spoken person.

363
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:35,000
He's an English teacher himself, so he use a lot of very, very cool vocabulary.

364
00:30:35,000 --> 00:30:42,000
And I have decided to pick out several adjectives.

365
00:30:42,000 --> 00:30:48,000
Now, adjectives are those words that we use in order to describe other words.

366
00:30:48,000 --> 00:30:58,000
So I'm going to go through several examples, several adjectives from the episode and then explain them to you.

367
00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:04,000
So Marvin said, I'm probably one of the most reactionary fans.

368
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:09,000
A reactionary fan. What does it mean if you are a reactionary fan?

369
00:31:09,000 --> 00:31:21,000
Well, it means that you are an emotional fan and you react to what is happening in the games in a slightly emotional way, let's say.

370
00:31:21,000 --> 00:31:26,000
So if Chelsea lose, Marvin goes absolutely crazy.

371
00:31:26,000 --> 00:31:29,000
If Chelsea win, he's really happy, right?

372
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:31,000
He's really excited and happy.

373
00:31:31,000 --> 00:31:34,000
So he is a reactionary football fan.

374
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:42,000
He reacts quickly and often emotionally to events during a football match or season.

375
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:47,000
And yes, sometimes this is slightly disapproving.

376
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:54,000
It's kind of the opposite of being a measured football fan, a level headed football fan.

377
00:31:54,000 --> 00:31:59,000
Right. I don't think we lost because we were the inferior team.

378
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:02,000
Here we are looking at the word inferior.

379
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:07,000
The inferior team means the worst team in the game.

380
00:32:07,000 --> 00:32:10,000
The better team would be the superior team.

381
00:32:10,000 --> 00:32:13,000
The inferior team means the worst team.

382
00:32:13,000 --> 00:32:20,000
So Marvin said that he didn't think that Chelsea were worse than Man City.

383
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:22,000
And I think he was right.

384
00:32:22,000 --> 00:32:25,000
He also said, I don't, sorry.

385
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:29,000
He also said we don't have an elite number nine.

386
00:32:29,000 --> 00:32:30,000
Man City does.

387
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:33,000
Number nine is that striker, right?

388
00:32:33,000 --> 00:32:36,000
The most advanced striker role.

389
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:41,000
Man City have Haaland and Chelsea don't have an elite number nine.

390
00:32:41,000 --> 00:32:44,000
So an elite, what does elite mean?

391
00:32:44,000 --> 00:32:53,000
Elite means like really, really good quality, really high level, top class, world class elite.

392
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:58,000
Right. So they have a number nine, but this player is not elite.

393
00:32:58,000 --> 00:33:00,000
Haaland is elite.

394
00:33:00,000 --> 00:33:03,000
He's one of the best in his position.

395
00:33:03,000 --> 00:33:05,000
OK. Right.

396
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:10,000
One way we would be brilliant and the next day we would be dreadful.

397
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:16,000
So this is how Marvin described the way Chelsea played last season, I believe.

398
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:20,000
One day we would be brilliant and the next day we would be dreadful.

399
00:33:20,000 --> 00:33:24,000
So the word I'm looking at here is dreadful.

400
00:33:24,000 --> 00:33:27,000
If something is dreadful, it's it's horrible.

401
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:29,000
It's really bad. It's awful.

402
00:33:29,000 --> 00:33:33,000
It's really, really poor.

403
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:39,000
OK. So when you're talking about a football team and their performance being dreadful,

404
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:47,000
it's a really abysmal, poor, below par performance dreadful.

405
00:33:47,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Oh, it's just horrible.

406
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:55,000
OK. Then I said, you still have players who are a bit raw.

407
00:33:55,000 --> 00:33:58,000
We use this word actually to describe vegetable.

408
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:02,000
If you eat raw vegetable, it means you don't cook it.

409
00:34:02,000 --> 00:34:05,000
Right. So this is a metaphor.

410
00:34:05,000 --> 00:34:13,000
Basically, when we talk about players who are still a bit raw, it means they are very young, inexperienced.

411
00:34:13,000 --> 00:34:18,000
They need to play more and develop as players. They are still a bit raw.

412
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,000
They are not a finished article, as we say.

413
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:29,000
OK. And then we were talking or Marvin was talking about Scott Palmer.

414
00:34:29,000 --> 00:34:39,000
And he used a really, really interesting phrase that I have to admit I did not know and I had to find it.

415
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:48,000
He said that Scott Palmer is a completely bonafide star, bonafide.

416
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:52,000
Also, I found star. It's a really strange word.

417
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:57,000
And it is spelled as B-A-N-A space F-I-D-E.

418
00:34:57,000 --> 00:35:02,000
And apparently it comes from Latin and it means in good faith in Latin.

419
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:09,000
But here it kind of means a real star, a genuine, a complete bonafide star.

420
00:35:09,000 --> 00:35:11,000
Yeah. So a real star.

421
00:35:11,000 --> 00:35:20,000
So basically, Scott Palmer is just, you know, he's top class, world class again, a bonafide star.

422
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:29,000
OK. Then we were also talking about Cucurela, the defender, the Spanish defender.

423
00:35:29,000 --> 00:35:32,000
And Marvin said he is a bit of a rash player.

424
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:36,000
Now, the word rash means impulsive.

425
00:35:36,000 --> 00:35:41,000
This player does not think through his actions.

426
00:35:41,000 --> 00:35:45,000
He acts on an impulse, right?

427
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:53,000
If you make a rash decision, you don't consider the consequences of that decision.

428
00:35:53,000 --> 00:35:57,000
You just make the decision quickly without thinking it through.

429
00:35:57,000 --> 00:35:59,000
And you can be a rash player as well.

430
00:35:59,000 --> 00:36:07,000
It means your decision making is not maybe always the best because you act on an impulse, right?

431
00:36:07,000 --> 00:36:11,000
And then we were talking about the Kovačić goal.

432
00:36:11,000 --> 00:36:16,000
And I was describing it to Marvin as a brilliant goal.

433
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Basically, Kovačić dribbled past several players.

434
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:25,000
And I said, in my opinion, it was some neat play from him. Neat play. Neat.

435
00:36:25,000 --> 00:36:31,000
If you show a neat play, you demonstrate skill and efficiency.

436
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:34,000
So it was skillful and efficient.

437
00:36:34,000 --> 00:36:40,000
You can be a neat player or you can make a neat move or something like that.

438
00:36:40,000 --> 00:36:45,000
So neat. Okay, guys, I hope you find all these adjectives useful.

439
00:36:45,000 --> 00:36:49,000
You can definitely use them to talk about football.

440
00:36:49,000 --> 00:36:54,000
And of course, as always, this podcast goes beyond football.

441
00:36:54,000 --> 00:37:03,000
I know most of the listeners of this podcast are football fans or people that have to do with the football industry,

442
00:37:03,000 --> 00:37:08,000
the football field, football players, football managers.

443
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:18,000
But it's possible that some people listening to this don't even like football or it's not their number one thing,

444
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,000
in which case, why are you listening?

445
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:27,000
And secondly, I think I know why you are listening, because a lot of things that I am explaining here,

446
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:32,000
a lot of vocabulary that is used in these episodes can also be used outside football.

447
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:40,000
A lot of vocabulary is applicable beyond this sport because it's everyday usage vocabulary.

448
00:37:40,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Right. Anyway, guys, it's been wonderful to talk to you again.

449
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:47,000
