I'd imagine Michael and Alan just weren't available for some reason (but Gary just didn't want to say that) and Sid couldn't do any other time either (& they want to keep the output up) - they've been swearing all through this, and the last one didn't seem any more expletive-ridden than any of the others.
Do you mean to tell me that you did not recognise sarcasm? Both Micah & Alan have a full weekend of travel for EPL games and prep for UCL fixtures next week. That's why they are not there.
The funny thing is Messi himself had pressure from his own countrymen because he was in The great Maradonas shadow but that didn't let him stop him from being the greatest.. he didn't let the pressure get to him
Exactly specially for his country, all God level unmatched shit he did at club level but still people used to question him why didn't he produce a wc performance like 86 and win for Argentina. Like dude, every one career is different, it's like asking maradona why didn't he score 91 goals for any club napoli, barca, boca. It was very unfair & he was underappreciated in terms of national sucess before 2021,like playing 4 final was seen as failure😢😅😅
@@ishaankumar1920 he's so great that he's raised the standard through the roofs ! What he produces even today is considered average by the mainstream but an amazing season for many others. And he's been doing it for so many years! Truly in a league of his own . Only he can compete with himself it's insane.
In some parts of times that gets through his skin as we all know he quits and it’s normal to a player get pressured but even he quit or resign whatever you called it he still get back and find himself to fight for his dreams to achieved it and he does!
It's a totally different thing - it's an interview on Spanish football. And it's got far more interesting details about Spanish football than Alan or Micah would be able to produce. I like it a lot, and the more (content) the merrier.
I saw Jude Bellingham, make his debut for my club, Birmingham City against Portsmouth in 2019 as a 16 year old, and hand on my heart i knew right then, that he was the greatest player I will and ever will see play for my club, I knew he was going to the very top and I’m so pleased that he’s doing as I expected. What a player he is and I feel like a proud big brother every time I see him play!
A few weeks ago I was thinking that in terms of guests to talk about other leagues, Sid Lowe for Spain and James Horncastle for Italy would be exactly who I thought would mesh well with the energy and vibe of the Pod. This appearwnce does not surprise me in the least. Love it.
It feels like I could hear Sid Low podcast everyday. He seems genuine and describe from an objective perspective unlike most English pundits(Gary Linekar is exception) whose mostly are biased when giving their opinion.

I really like both of them. And I truly understand Eurocentrism from both truly traditional and historical countries. Yet none of them even slightly guess that is precisely the exposure to Brazilian and Argentinian footballers and coaches from a very early period what shifted and transformed the style of play both in Italy and Spain and later both introduced their own more physical oriented version of those attacking and possession football brands with also the very pragmatic even cynical approaches of fellas like Helenio Herrera. Also truly major geniuses and phenomenal players transform even the prototype of what a top footballer can be. Look at how France has shifted due to the introduction of phenomenal African origin players in their League and later NT. But I guess once an Empire even the finest if lads like these two very likeable dudes cannot even phantom the idea of such a huge influence in primarily the Italian and Spanish league.
@@iMertin Not only in Brazil, in South America in general THE British in general are the main culprits of the development of the game in the area, therefore the abundance of English names in lots of clubs down here...yet that it's precisely what I was talking about, the huge interaction between different cultures on the globe.
Italian catenaccio was influenced by the verrou (also doorbolt or chain in French) system invented by Austrian coach Karl Rappan (while he was coaching Switzerland in the 1930s). He was the first to use a sweeper (libero) behind a back 3.
The bigger question the English press should be asking - Are such successes due to the fact that English players go abroad early, and play first team gamea? Many non-english players are already top players by 21-23 yrs old, when they get into EPL, and many of them are players who left their country early.
As soon as I see anyone say that this player is "the next I know that the player will never reach anywhere near those heights. Its become a title of career stagnation.
Sid is a great journalist. Always great when he appears on the Guardian Gootball Podcast. I didn't realise he had his own though so I'll be checking that out
JB reminds me of a Ruud Gullit in a way going forward. Tall, elegant, Well rounded physically and technically who can be played deeper but really clean up in the box.
This Spanish journalist shows you the difference between Spanish and English journalism. Even with the rise of Jude he says he is a bit skeptical about the next year's he might not be there but now he is. Spanish journalist helps footballers grow and develop more. But the English media over hype the players making it sink in their heads and sometimes they never develop more.
Sid IS English. Stop being ridiculous! And as for Spanish journalists not hyping players up! Go and look at the Marca articles on Odegaard, Bojan & Fati. It was Spanish hype that drained those players of success!
@@GIBBO4182He is English but he is not your normal English Journalist which I think the guy making the comment about is on about. Sid and the other fella based in Brazil are different in the way they think and carry out their form of journalism, they are expats immersed in the culture of the country they live in now.
Tackling will always be a part of football, I don't know if Alonso was referring to the tackling being more of a last resort rather than a focus of a player with intelligent positional play and tactical nous reducing the need to tackle. Like a lot of aspects of life, some elements work in cycles. I wonder if the tough tackling midfielder will ever return or whether the modern methods of officiating and tactical setup has well and truly consigned them to the history books. Admittedly the frequency, intensity and even technique of tackling has changed in recent years. Like Gary suggested tactical fouling is more prevalent in our game now which has filtered through from the Continent.
I've never taken much interest in Spanish football, or any other countries come to that. However, I really enjoyed this podcast and found it interesting. I can crawl back under my rock again, now I've been brought up to speed 😁
I'm not sure why anyone in Madrid should be surprised by Bellingham's maturity and leadership. He did the same in his first game at Dortmund and he was SEVENTEEN then.
Do you mean to tell me that you did not recognise sarcasm? Both Micah & Alan have a full weekend of travel for EPL games and prep for UCL fixtures next week. That's why they are not there.
Jude Bellingham is a superstar and will win everything in football and really could win trophies with England if England get the next manager right,,I just feel Southgate plays a bit too negative
Spanish football, especially the deologies of cruyff have had such an incredible influence on the football nowadays. Even the prem you can compare it to the prime days of La liga, where the majority of teams in the league play a technical, possession based game with a lot of technically gifted players. In Spain that happens all the time. The “English” way of playing football is just dated.
When people talk about La Liga vs EPL, what they really mean is Real Madrid and Barcelona vs EPL. The EPL has had 3 DIFFERENT winners of the UCL in the last 5 years…more than La Liga has had in its entire history!
You guys act as though there is no other team in La liga Look at sevilla ,villareal , bétis So much more They are really tough to play against which most prem teams and fans don't realise They are much more passionate than the fans of most teams in the prem If you see stadiums like San Mamés and Mestalla you gauge how difficult it is to perform there.
Can you name those 3 teams. Cuz if I can remember. In the last five years only two English clubs have won the Ucl. Liverpool and City. Please who is won again??.
The coaching in England is rubbish. If only 1% of players make it in England why don't they teach them how to be coach as well to try and keep them in football
I really hope the swearing ban was just a joke for whatever reason they're not available.. I'm not tryna have no Alan or Micah because of swearing that's BS 🤣
I really don’t get how La Liga could be considered a farmers league? lol. Ligue 1 fair enough. But it clearly still has arguably the biggest pull with Bellingham choosing Madrid over the PL?
Swearing banned, really, apart from being a childish take over this everyday language it's good to hear our football hero's talking exactly like the rest of us, I don't trust people who don't swear, so just keep it in makes you more real
Do you mean to tell me that you did not recognise sarcasm? Both Micah & Alan have a full weekend of travel for EPL games and prep for UCL fixtures next week. That's why they are not there.
Literally nobody cares about them swearing lmao you’re the part of society that’s too dumb to understand jokes and cries about everyone else being offended
dont like guest on the show as its boring, i decided not yo watch this episode but i was board so i watched it.......boring even more boring than shearer other than that love the show keep it up
Love Gary but it needs Micah and shearer also the swearing makes it feel more authentic, look at you’re target audience ffs. No one wants another bbc show where everytbing has to be 100% correct and proper
England are trying their best to put as much pressure on Bellingham as possible as the do with all their good youngsters...best thing he ever done was getting out of England
I quite like the swearing makes it more funny and authentic, rather than feeling like you’re watching a bbc show.
I'd imagine Michael and Alan just weren't available for some reason (but Gary just didn't want to say that) and Sid couldn't do any other time either (& they want to keep the output up) - they've been swearing all through this, and the last one didn't seem any more expletive-ridden than any of the others.

This is just one of those episodes where a guest comes in to talk about something in particular. relax they'll be back
Love Sid Lowe - always comes across as a genuine guy
agreed, any decent documentary about a la liga player has sid on there
I saw Jude Bellingham, make his debut for my club, Birmingham City against Portsmouth in 2019 as a 16 year old, and hand on my heart i knew right then, that he was the greatest player I will and ever will see play for my club, I knew he was going to the very top and I’m so pleased that he’s doing as I expected.

A podcast with Sid and Garry. We already know how it feel like to be blessed man❤
I want more of this. I think there is an opportunity here to really widen the horizons of premier league centric fans. Love this.
Keep the swearing, we are seeing the real comfortable side of you all. It’s genuinely enjoyable to watch and listen to!
This is what I've been looking for
In depth commentary into La Liga and other leagues
Really enjoyed this. Proper football conversations are rare these days
Sid Lowe has been covering Spanish Football for more than 15 years now. Massive respect
Looking forward to the new series "Great Coaches of Dorset".

What a great listen enjoyed Sid Lowe's talk about Spanish football.
Yes Sid Lowe! This will be a great one.
Great call to put it in Sid Lowe. He's of the more sensible football journalists out there.
Keep the swearing,it's a natural part of any conversation and makes the show feel more natural and not scripted
It's just fascinating listening to Sid. You got to bring him back .
Brilliant to listen to these two.....

Great podcast, fascinating show, learnt a lot about Spanish football and mentality
different but superb Gary, Sid knows his stuff and this without the banter with Alan and Big lad, still interesting, Love it.

Messi's son is the who is going to come from lamasia and he will be magician
thats fooking shocking they have a one podcast ban when you swear too
Anyone notice how often Gary touches his nose. Must be something he subconsciously does
It's either his moustache tickling him or some kind of tick, like G Nev twisting his head 'at this moment in time'
People actually thinking swearing is banned 😂
Na keep the swearing in want the normality
Bring back the swearing ✊
Isn't the German football federation blaming thier downfall on peps philosophy on football lol
As a german i can say we are the world champions in blaming others instead of ourselves.
