If you haven’t seen this video, please do. It’s a communications masterclass.
It’s gracious criticism. It’s leadership.
From the moment he asked to respond in English because he wants to be clear about certain things. Not a man finding buzzwords.
He used previous examples. He never aligned with Vinicius’ character. He never shaded Mourinho’s character. It was the action he fully focused on.
And was even gracious to Prestianni. He mentioned Mbappe’s love for diplomacy in most situations but he was clear about what he heard. That’s knowledge of people and patterns.
It’s been a while I’ve listened to any leader speak with absolute wisdom.
He said there should be a place for apologies and it doesn’t have to be kill or be killed. There should be a middle ground but he was clear about what he disliked — the lack of leadership Jose Mourinho showed.
That was courageous. You can tell why he was captain of club and country and is now a coach of one of the biggest clubs on earth as a black man.
Absolute respect.
12' | Chanse smashes in on his full league debut! 🤩
JP crosses deep for Remy Clerima to head back across, confusion in the area presents the opportunity perfectly for Chanse Headman who has the simple job of smashing home from 5 yards!
🔴 0-1 🖤🤍
SFM no card was wrong....Ryan should've been straight red. Swings and roundabouts. Truth is South Africa were and are absolutely brutally brilliant. Some team.
🗣️🚨 Eberechi Eze: "If I say I’m a Christian, that means it must affect the way that I act, the decisions that I make.
"So I’ve got to talk a certain type of way, I’ve got to act a certain type of way, I’ve got to be a certain type of person because I’ve said I believe.
"I feel like the belief is shown not in the words that we speak in here, but it’s shown in how you carry yourself outside – your actions will tell you whether you really believe or not."
I had no feelings positive or negative towards Troy Parrott before this afternoon. Now, I have huge respect for the bloke. The emotion in this interview is incredible. What a lad.
