Tunnel Vision: Osmar Ibáñez

We're talking about a K League player present.

One that's still present and one that has been, well...

He's a K-League legend, I guess.

Last one of these we did, these crossovers, was day in.

And, well, this one you've got Osmar lined up for us.

But Phil, before we go into Osmar, I mean, for the listeners at home who may have missed the first crossover episode or may have missed the complete series that's currently running on the Asian game, tell us a little bit about Tunnel Vision very briefly,

Ryan.

Very briefly, I'll give you the elevator pitch.

So the basic concept is that I join a player in the tunnel seconds before they take the pitch for the World Cup final, and their life in football kind of goes through their mind in visions, if you will, and they have a vision while they're in the tunnel, hence tunnel vision.

I'm underselling it and being cheeky, but it is a fun conversation to have with players just about their life.

in football on and off the pitch and then kind of wherever the conversation takes us but the the general premise is that they're getting ready to take the pitch for the world cup final against their dream nation and uh and everything just kind of flashes back before they take those steps

all right i'm just going to say don't you think that players might not want to see you just moments before going out the world cup final they don't want to see you just rocking up with a yeti mike like i

I'm the mascot for everybody.

I'm just holding everybody's hands and I'm just asking a ton of questions on the way out as well.

I'm like, what's the funniest thing that you've seen on the pitch? Oh, are you trying to concentrate?

Exactly.

you're you're about to take to the stadium at the world cup final apparently ryan so maybe i should ask you a few questions uh you know you're about to take to the press box in a world cup final you've you've had your lunch box maybe that is the question what is the first question what is the dream meal you're expecting here

the dream meal i mean well we were just talking about jumbo i do miss going down to junju because they have a proper canteen they do and like it is it is fresh served food in the best province for food in Korea, as we all know.

It's not the right part of the best province, but it at least is the best province.

It's not Jeollanamdo.

But, I mean, a buffet.

I'm getting ready to do a golf tournament soon, and the food at the golf tournaments, bellissimo, very nice.

It's very good.

The food at football tournaments...

If we get fed, we're happy, as you well know.
