The Night Ronaldinho Taught Joe Cole A Brutal Lesson & Mourinho’s RUTHLESS Chelsea | CLASSIC CLIPS

0:00 What was different with Jose to make you

0:01 get into that the right position at that time?

0:03 He liked partnerships on the pitch.

0:05 So, I played on the right, Paulo Ferreira played behind me.

0:07 And what he was very big on was so was you'd pick up left back, right?

0:12 To and and if he if he if he got a cross in, it was my responsibility,

0:18 not the right back's.

0:19 Do you know what I mean?

0:20 So, and you just knew if you if you got it wrong,

0:25 like there was a game we played Barcelona in the new camp, right?

0:27 And I was playing right midfield.

0:29 And it was the first time I played against Ronaldinho.

0:32 So, stupidly, so the ball's gone into Ronaldinho, he's pinned Paulo Ferreira,

0:37 and he's got We're all in a nice defensive position.

0:39 We're all set.

0:40 I'm with I can see Van Bronckhorst.

0:42 And he's made a run.

0:43 And I And I thought, "That's a stupid run.

0:44 He's never going to get that." And Ronaldinho just gone done done something,

0:49 lollipop, bang, back healed it into Van Bronckhorst.

0:52 It's one of them moments on the pitch when I was like,

0:54 "Oh, shit." Van Bronckhorst wins it in a cross.

0:59 Essien's missed it by a by a whisker, but like that was cuz it was Ronaldinho,

1:03 and I took a gamble where I let Van Bronckhorst run.

1:07 And I thought, "Right, now for the rest of the 40 or 50 games,

1:09 there's no ever there's not going to be

1:11 a full back that's going to run past me." Jose

1:13 was the um was the best at like just

1:17 like putting a player down in a brilliant way.

1:20 Like, it was like Ricardo Carvalho,

1:22 obviously great player, great at the game, right?

1:26 He had a row with Jose about something.

1:28 After the game, he didn't play.

1:30 Ba ba bum.

1:31 And Jose's gone, "You, same thing, you will never play again for me.

1:35 You will never play.

1:36 John Terry, number one.

1:38 Gallas, number two.

1:40 Robert Huth, three.

1:42 Young kid, number four." And he went, "Kid, man, Mick,

1:46 I'll play Mick AHEAD OF YOU." HE'S GOT A HEAD I'VE GOT.

1:53 MICK HE'S 50 year old fellow with a big derby on him like that.

1:59 Go on Mario.

2:01 It's pretty cool.

2:01 No way.

3:11 And I've turned up.

3:12 And and to be fair, and I'll always remember this.

3:15 Do you know like the Beckham but Scholesy's and the Nevilles

3:20 class like They were the first people They They were great.

3:22 They were like I bumped into them first one.

3:25 They They was always great.

3:26 They was right away through my England career as a young player.

3:28 They always looked after us and made sure I was all right and was welcoming.

3:32 But then go into your room, first training, met Keegan and all that.

3:36 Just come and enjoy yourself.

3:37 You're not going to play, but you know,

3:39 big part of the future plans for us and blah blah whatever.

3:42 Um great.

3:44 Going to training, I've got on the coach.

3:46 And I think, where do I sit?

3:47 And uh it's nervous.

3:50 And I just see I like to I just see this head

3:53 pop up from the hugest the hugest paper the Financial Times like that.

3:58 Tony Adams like and I'm like he just give

3:59 me a little like come and sit here mate.

4:01 Come and sit here and I was So big tones on the Financial

4:04 Big tones on the Financial

4:05 That's like some Gordon sketch or something.

4:07 I know.

4:08 I know.

4:08 Almost not real like comedy relief.

4:10 numbers in there.

4:11 I know and I'm like I think all right Let me go and sit next to the to Tony

4:16 and we're just chatting away and this paper so big

4:18 I've just got no room to sit on this thing.

4:20 I'm like that.

4:21 And it was the famous game where Keegan retired.

4:26 Right.

4:25 So I was literally I was in an So we were sitting at Wembley watching

4:29 the game and then I got beat come

4:33 down and I'm standing outside the dressing room

4:36 and Keegan's walked past and he's like I'm not I'm not up to this I'm resigning

4:40 and then the poor little um PR paper

4:43 person for England was like You can't do that.

4:48 AND I'M LIKE I'M STANDING THERE GOING WHAT IS going on here?

4:51 I'm only TURNED UP.

4:54 I JUST THOUGHT I WAS going to change his mind.

4:58 And he's just gone back gone to the he's gone to the Sky Sports cameras.

5:01 Come here mate.

5:03 I don't know probably Nick Collins has come over like all right.

5:05 He said yeah I've had enough I'M DONE.

5:09 AND I'M JUST GOING WHAT'S[ __] going on here?

5:12 So um Anyway that was my first experience of England.

5:18 What an experience that was.

5:19 Big thing in this series on the pod Joe is about

5:22 draft excluders which are sort of new to the game really.

5:25 I don't think when you were 16-year-old uh or 18-year-old

5:29 starting out in England you were practicing being a draft excluded.

5:31 To be honest with you I don't think you'd potentially make a very good one.

5:36 Uh I know you're above average height as you keep on pointing out

5:38 Yeah we've we've we've clarified that already.

5:40 In England Do you need a long draft excluder?

5:43 I think I'd be a good draft

5:48 But but we've taken it up another level with the draft excluders this series.

5:51 When we were chatting to Aaron Ramsdale, we discussed going full frontal.

5:54 Dave, there was a player who went full frontal the other day.

5:56 I saw it.

5:57 We've had two instances so far in the Premier League.

5:59 Diogo Jota against Newcastle.

6:01 Full frontal.

6:02 And and Dan James for Leeds against Arsenal.

6:04 Do you know what I My job a lot was the charger.

6:07 That's the worst job you can have in football.

6:09 job.

6:09 have got that job would you?

6:09 No, no, no.

6:10 I didn't have to play cuz you were rapid.

6:12 No, that was just cuz I was not very good.

6:14 I wasn't at anything else.

6:15 I'm not going to beat anyone in the air.

6:17 I can't I wasn't for the wall.

6:19 I wasn't tall enough as we've just for the wall.

6:22 If it clips to the far post, I'm no good to no one there.

6:25 But I can take one in the mush as good as anyone.

6:28 So No, there's nothing worse like actually charging.

6:31 It's like if you watch that someone who doesn't actually really want to charge.

6:34 Like they wait the whistle goes and then they bend their run a little bit.

6:38 Just to make it later.

6:40 Let me tell you right.

6:41 I've I've had a I've seen some good chargers in my time.

6:43 I've had some I've I've broken leg, ankle, toe, wrist.

6:48 I've done me medial's, right?

6:50 The most pain I've experienced on a football

6:51 pitch is charging and taking one in the nuts.

6:54 I was I had a tear in my eye.

6:57 It was like Straight in the It was the ah it was ah horrible.

7:02 Worst.

7:01 We're we're series six now I think this is, right?

7:04 I don't think we've discussed the charge, the art of charging.

7:07 I was an experienced charger, right?

7:09 So let me tell you an experienced charger.

7:12 It's the worst job.

7:13 When you get the jobs on set pieces It's very easy like oh for[ __] sake.

7:17 I'm I'm going to cop a few this year, right?

7:19 So listen, this is what you got to do.

7:20 First of all, you got to be a bit cheeky cuz you got to nick a yard, right?

7:24 And you got to be brave and a little bit Mental.

7:29 Mental as well.

7:29 Like I'm not mental,

7:31 but I'm brave enough to get it with but you got to be cheeky, right?

7:34 You right, there's a few that play at it.

7:36 They do the bend the run.

7:37 They go oh look at me, I'm brave.

7:38 And then they all of a sudden then they're they're on they're on the outside.

7:41 So yeah, But I did it and it's bloody painful.

7:44 No one's ever made a montage on YouTube of of fantastic charges or like that.

7:50 Like, you know, it's all about goals and beautiful saves.

7:53 Like, let's have a charging montage and there's

7:56 people that can do that out there.

7:57 I think you're right.
