Ramsdale On The SECRET Goalkeeper Tactics At Arsenal & The Most PARCHED For Arteta? | CLASSIC CLIPS

0:00 All right, so the impression I've always got

0:01 from Crouchy with the manager's relationship with goalkeepers is

0:04 that the manager was always Maybe it's just how

0:08 you saw it or maybe I've misunderstood it, quite possible.

0:11 But the manager was more bothered with the outfield

0:13 players and the goalies were kind of more into themselves.

0:17 And the impression I'm getting from you is

0:19 that the manager is quite involved with you.

0:21 So this is where I know me and Crouchy earlier

0:23 having a bit of banter about goalies being more important,

0:26 but that is the way it's going now.

0:28 Like when we're doing build-up phase the manager is basically speaking to me.

0:33 He tells people where to go.

0:36 He gives me a a format of how to how to play,

0:39 but then puts his arm around me and says, "You're playing the game.

0:42 You make your own decisions." He was

0:43 heavily involved in bringing me to the club.

0:45 So I almost not necessarily um favoritism, but No, but you get the big coat.

0:52 Do you know what I mean by it?

0:53 yeah.

0:53 He gives me the added added sense of Are you Parched?

0:56 No, absolutely not.

0:57 Who's Parched?

0:59 Oh.

1:01 [laughter]

1:02 Oh.

1:02 Cuz it sounds like you might be Parched.

1:05 No, no, no.

1:05 He's He's put a lot of time and effort in.

1:07 Leno would think you're Parched, I reckon.

1:10 [laughter] 100% think that.

1:11 He's said That's right.

1:12 He's texting everyone else, isn't he?

1:14 He's texting his pals.

1:15 Parched guy.

1:16 Yeah.

1:16 They've signed Parched.

1:17 Martin Odegaard's Parched.

1:19 Not Martin Odegaard.

1:20 Not Odegaard.

1:20 Sweet boy.

1:22 Odegaard's Parched.

1:23 He looks Parched.

1:25 He really was Parched.

1:26 But Martin Odegaard, to be fair,

1:27 he was playing for Real Madrid when he was 12 or something.

1:29 He's been around

1:32 them.

1:30 Is he Is he already talking tactics with the manager for his tender age?

1:36 They They I don't know what to say cuz they're speaking in Spanish.

1:39 But do you know like sort of day after a game if we're in the gym for recovery?

1:42 He'll speak to most people in English.

1:44 Maybe one or two of the lads who English ain't great,

1:46 but Martin's English is perfect and speaks Spanish.

1:48 he speaks Spanish.

1:48 That's Parched.

1:49 El Parched.

1:50 Yeah, El Parched.

1:52 [laughter] And I'll tell you who's another Parched.

1:53 Cedric Soares.

1:55 He [laughter]

1:56 He thinks he's a I'm putting people on smash, you know.

1:59 Don't mind it.

1:59 He is.

2:00 El Parched.

2:01 Future.

2:01 He thinks he's a future Pep.

2:03 Really?

2:04 Really?

2:05 Yeah.

2:05 Oh, he needs to write it right down there.

2:07 Brilliant.

2:09 Really?

2:08 Yeah.

2:09 Is he doing the hands?

2:10 The Oh, Cedric Cedric gives all sorts, yeah.

2:13 So he he's a he's a future manager in the making.

2:15 But then Martin's just a El Parched.

2:18 El Parched-io.

2:19 What a revelation.

2:21 The I heard some more of your language is coming out there, weren't it?

2:25 [laughter]

2:25 Oh, Crouchy loves the languages.

2:26 I'm good at them.

2:27 Very good.

2:28 Spanish for Parched is El Parched.

2:30 El Parched-io.

2:32 I want to get into the draft excluder.

2:36 This is your favorite, isn't it?

2:37 This is my absolute favorite.

2:39 Been gagging to talk about it.

2:40 also for me as well.

2:41 Like it's not something that I had when I was playing,

2:43 like So I'll be a hell of a[ __] good draft be it.

2:47 But they don't They don't often use a striker as a draft excluder, but you would

2:51 You had some of the attributes that I had.

2:54 so good.

2:55 So [laughter] But back in the day back in the day, you never had the foam.

2:58 You did towards the end of your career, no?

3:00 The foam on the floor.

3:01 No, no foam.

3:02 Yeah, towards the end, yeah.

3:03 But then back in the day, you you'd all have been 7 yd.

3:06 Yeah.

3:07 Cuz you just creep.

3:07 Yeah, yeah.

3:08 needed really.

3:09 And that's how You don't So now you do with the 10 yd Really?

3:14 Is Is that important for you, a free kick?

3:16 You would You would say to Arteta, you'd say,

3:18 "I need a draft excluder." And are you doing it because you think you need it,

3:22 or are you doing it because you just want

3:23 to see one of your players act like a little[ __]

3:25 Need to Need to play Need to play depending on who we play.

3:27 Do you Do you think it's important?

3:29 So [laughter] many questions.

3:30 But do you think it's important?

3:31 If you play James Ward-Prowse if you've got someone

3:34 underneath the wall And you've got that pulled out.

3:36 And you've got a 6'3, 6'4, 6'3,

3:39 and a 6'3 in the wall and they jump all at the same

3:42 time when the ball is at at going over the wall.

3:49 It's not fancy.

3:50 It gives him hardly any chance.

3:51 He's so good where he can still do it and I depending on who we play I have one.

3:58 Do you request?

4:00 Like do you So do you So free kick, right?

4:03 Do Do they look at you to make the call whether you want a draft excluder?

4:06 And then do you point at the player and go, "You."

4:08 No, you know before the game.

4:10 So designated draft excluder.

4:12 excluder knows Arteta will pick your excluder.

4:15 Arteta picks who he'll pick.

4:16 Do you get a say?

4:18 No.

4:20 All right, I could do if he starts putting Gabriel as a draft

4:22 excluder and I've got Cedric and Martin defending James Tarkowski in the box.

4:27 Yeah.

4:28 Do you think draft excluder cuz I think what makes

4:30 it quite funny is they face away from the ball.

4:32 to.

4:32 So they're lying Yeah,

4:33 but don't you think it's more manly to face the ball Not allowed.

4:37 as the draft excluder.

4:38 Not allowed.

4:38 It is your hand.

4:39 Your hands.

4:40 Hands.

4:41 You won't give it up.

4:42 But how manly This is why But seriously,

4:44 how manly would it be if you would face

4:46 front on and put your arms behind your back?

4:49 [laughter] That's the Terry Butcher Like that.

4:50 That is a geezer.

4:51 That is a geezer.

4:52 Do that and you are a fella.

4:54 You are a man.

4:55 So we found out in the in the Euros.

4:57 So when before the Euros,

4:59 our referees came in and whatnot and and spoke to the team.

5:03 And we asked a question and they said it's better if you turn the wrong

5:05 way cuz if You asked You asked if the draft excluder could face the ball.

5:10 It's come when you're tournament or not.

5:11 Yeah, but why But there's not many benefits other than just looking[ __] hard.

5:16 No.

5:17 And you would take a ball in the face or the bollocks.

5:20 Yeah, but that's why you need to switch on now.

5:22 You said about the wall.

5:23 But why doesn't the wall face the other way?

5:25 You need to switch on because Yeah.

5:27 if something happens and he's facing the ball

5:30 he can see most of where the ball lands.

5:33 So he could be facing the other way

5:35 and be like and be keeping people offside and stuff.

5:36 Can you tell me, is there a rule against say some goggles being brought on?

5:42 [laughter] Like a mask.

5:42 You're so childish.

5:43 Like Yeah.

5:44 You're so childish.

5:44 Yeah, you But just then it's only for a minute.

5:47 Shall I do it?

5:47 Martin Odegaard.

5:48 He's my draft excluder.

5:49 Facing forward.

5:50 El Parched-io.

5:51 El Parched-io.

5:51 El [laughter] Parched-io.

5:52 El Parched-io is my draft excluder.

5:54 Yeah, but when he goes to lie down, go, "No, turn around." Should we try?

5:58 I'll try.

5:59 Face it.

6:00 If I got If I got this weekend No.

6:02 Face it.

6:03 So if we see Arsenal and Odegaard's draft excluder full frontal full

6:10 What if I brought What if I brought a cup on it?

6:12 [laughter] What do you know?

6:13 A cricket cup and a an helmet.

6:15 Yeah, that's what I think.

6:16 So if someone runs on Odegaard's going full frontal.

6:20 Who have you got the weekend?

6:21 West Ham.

6:21 West Ham.

6:22 Full frontal.

6:23 Who takes the West Ham?

6:25 Yeah.

6:25 Cresswell.

6:26 Cresswell, so he We will need a jumper cuz he is is a decent left foot player.

6:31 bring in Odegaard full frontal on the weekend.

6:33 Tell us who.

6:34 Can you imagine the first full frontal draft excluder?

6:37 It's El Parched-io.

6:38 [laughter] Twitter will explode.

6:45 [laughter] Full frontal.

6:46 You're so invested in this draft excluder.

6:48 I love it.

6:49 I'll tell you why because I think it's I I just to explain,

6:52 I think the draft excluder is is new and I think that's why it's fascinating.

6:56 It's It's been interesting seeing what Crouchy thinks

6:59 of it because it didn't exist and why it's there.

7:01 And sometimes I feel it's just people going through the motions.

7:03 It's a bit like sniffing the cork with a wine or something.

7:06 It's not totally necessary.

7:07 [laughter] It's It's It's like something that I see interesting here

7:10 and like obviously a modern-day goalkeeper explain it to me.

7:13 And like the way you've explained it there is

7:15 like if the wall's jumping the draft excluder is underneath,

7:18 it's it's almost canceling out that that whole corner

7:21 to some degree where you're in the other corner.

7:24 If our wall jumps properly and there's no gaps,

7:26 that and that allows me to stay where I am as long as possible.

7:30 Yeah.

7:30 And it also depends for me on angles.

7:32 So if it's more on the angle of the ball outside the angle of the goal,

7:36 don't necessarily need one.

7:38 If If it's a right foot, you're going to see it's going to come into our

7:41 But you make the call.

7:42 I make the call.
