JimHOST
Have you seen this interview, guys? Yeah, so he said, my perception was, the main bits to point out was, you know, he spoke about him and the other players in the changing room and Durange, you know, all coming together and thinking we've got to win this now and having that realisation moment as a group.
JimHOST
Reminded me a bit of when The Blue Club in London had that Champions League run with their kind of, who was it at the time? Di Matteo.
JimHOST
And they kind of just took over the, you kind of had that unity to get it over the line.
JimHOST
On Ange, he said Ange's motivation was obviously incredible.
Charlie EccleshareGUEST
But we're not sure you're necessarily long-term the solution.
Charlie EccleshareGUEST
I mean, Liam, you'll remember Chelsea, Roberto Di Matteo in 2012.
Charlie EccleshareGUEST
Again, would have been really harsh, but...
James RichardsonHOST
Just won the Champions League.
Conor McNamaraGUEST
Absolutely.
Conor McNamaraGUEST
And then once you've done one game, and that was the famous 1997, so it was Roberto Di Matteo scored after 40 odd seconds, which is the best thing that could have happened to me because...
Conor McNamaraGUEST
in my naivete and having no clue how to do this.
Conor McNamaraGUEST
I had written out on fool's cap paper going from one side to the other.
Chris HallHOST
What he may have done, but it would have been before this.
Chris HallHOST
It was actually in the promotion season under Roberto Di Matteo, 0-9, 0-10.
Chris HallHOST
Graham Dorrance got 13 goals and a magnificent 19 assists.
Chris HallHOST
But I think the point here is that it has been 17 years since we had a player who could truly do both.
Tim SpiersGUEST
So, I mean, a lot of these appointments tend to happen when a club is in a crisis, right? It might be towards the end of a season when the manager sacked in March.
Tim SpiersGUEST
For example, Roberto Di Matteo coming in at Chelsea, which I think was in March 2012 when they sacked Willis-Boas.
Tim SpiersGUEST
And this is just a mad example because he's one of these...
Tim SpiersGUEST
These sort of appointments are characterized by the fact that they would never get the job at the equivalent-sized Premier League club.
Frank LeboeufPANELIST
Well, it happened to me.
Frank LeboeufPANELIST
I remember I was red carded against Leeds and Roberto Di Matteo came to me and he said, shame on you.
Frank LeboeufPANELIST
You let us down.
Frank LeboeufPANELIST
And that's the reality of it.
LucaPANELIST
So in the 90s, when the Premier League started growing, a lot of the success came from players coming from foreign leagues, specifically the Serie A.
LucaPANELIST
If we look at Di Matteo, Zola, Vieira, Henry, Bergkamp all these players came from the Serie A from Juventus yeah Ruud Gullit player coach for me the biggest thing that a lot of people don't really realise and it's not necessarily a positive for Italy but Calciopoli the scandal in Italy in 2006 was the reason that the Premier League became the best league in the world because at the time the Serie A was still the best league in the world it had the best players it was the highest level Premier League was growing in the 2000s, but it hadn't quite surpassed Serie A just yet.
LucaPANELIST
The Calciopoli destroyed the Italian league from an attractive point of view.
LucaPANELIST
Players left the league, players didn't want to come to the league.
Kweku AfariGUEST
We get rid of AVB.
Kweku AfariGUEST
Di Matteo comes in, we win the Champions League.
Kweku AfariGUEST
we get rid of Lampard, Tuchel comes in, we win the Champions League.
Kweku AfariGUEST
So Chelsea, unfortunately, have been built on a foundation and the fans have been used to this.
BobbyHOST
You might as well.
BobbyHOST
Roberto Di Matteo is correct.
BobbyHOST
That's four points.
BobbyHOST
Oh, what? Well played.
BobbyHOST
West Brom, Chelsea, Schalke, Villa.
BobbyHOST
And he hasn't managed for 10 years.
BobbyHOST
But Roberto Di Matteo is correct.
BobbyHOST
Well played, Theo.
Mark GoldbridgeHOST
What has Michael Carrick got to do with Mikel Arteta? And what has Man Utd got to do with Arsenal? It's the shittest, rubbish-dest example ever.
Mark GoldbridgeHOST
You know what's a better example? Michael Carrick's Roberto Di Matteo.
Mark GoldbridgeHOST
Came into Chelsea, did really well at the end of the season.
Mark GoldbridgeHOST
The season started and everyone knew he wasn't good enough in this acting.
