My wishful thinking for ETH to finish top 3 next season: Get rid of AWB, Maguire, Jones, Shaw, Matic, McTominay, Mata, Pogba,Lingard, Rashford, CR7, Cavani, Martial.......Get:Lamptey, KALIDOU KOULIBALY KK26, Brandon Williams, Tchoumeni, Neves, Christian Eriksen, Ivan Toney, Nkunku & Raphinha. This being a world cup year it's the best time to chase these overpaid, lazy mercenaries by telling them ''you are in my plans'' they will not risk sitting on the bench or missing out on their national teams
Defoe has that kind of energy where he’d start a story, and 2 hours later he’s told you 4 others and not finished the original, absolutely love that, infectious personality, and a truly lethal finisher.
"Am I blocking the way for someone else?"...wow!..Humble.confident and so so talented...Thanks for making this one of the quickest 1.17.53mins ever spent listening to men, just...talk.
Defoe has to be one of the most underrated strikers to play in the prem, never gets mentioned in the conversations but he was a proper bagsman. Baller.
FACT.!!! Defoe at his peak could have played for any top European club and would've been successful. One of the best finishers in the Premier League...💯
Guys you should add a 5 min short video of all the guests best moments of their playing career with their own reaction just so that everyone understands how good the respective player was in his prime
When most footballers are up their own arse and far removed from the average fan, Jermaine Defoe is a gent guys, still grounded even after fame. I can’t believe he never got signed by a top top club.
on serious note, think it was his height and his game and how isolated he could be in games. he gets the ball and lays it off and only comes alive in the box with sharp movement, so basically you’re building up the play with 10 men. with the lack of top striker right now he would have made his way to top clubs right now. still had a very respectable career
@@benitotommassi5820 Nah, that's fair Spurs were not a top top club when he was in his prime, they were not even a top club when he played for us, they ain't top top now, but we might possibly be a top club now.
Love how JD describes the small details of football. You can tell that he is a coach, not just a pundit. Excellent to listen to for all students of the game
What an episode! WOW!!! So many little details in there to be studied by coaches, analysts, scouts and players! That's why I like your channel, soooo many details that decides games and tournaments! Thank you Jermaine and Rio, Joel. Love you guys ❤
This guy had crazy potential to be at a world class team. If he'd played at Utd, Arsenal, Real, Barca, Juve he would have reached the next level...he was deadly...❤
Jermain and Rio's ' Roots actually originated from st.lucia 🇱🇨🔥 Big up Jemain for all the grass roots work in 🇱🇨 .. I would be nice for Rio to come back to Anse.. to reconnect with the family and also a trip with Rio and J.. to motivate st. Lucian grass Roots ballers 🔥😁
Wow. Listening to Jermain is not just a football lesson but a life lesson in elite mentality and believing in yourself to get to where you want to be. Top man and a great interview.
What a lovely bloke. Dedicated to the game and trying to emulate the best strikers, watching and learning. I don't get the impression there's anyone with that attitude like him at United today. There's something fundamentally wrong with young professionals today. His attitude, determination to succeed and humility. So in contrast to the lazy, self-entitled prima-donnas filling the dressing room at Old Trafford. I've loved United all my long life. The mard-arsed attitude of our players today and the vampire owners makes me want to walk away from my beloved club. Even in the dark pre-Fergie days, I never once felt like this.
I've left so many comments like this on this show. An education about how to be a professional footballer. All kids who want to make it should be watching all these shows when they interview professionals. Rio is definitely the best pundit for interviewing players about how to make it. Brilliant episode, never stop, I wish I had these when I was young. Thank you!
Great pod defoe special special human not just on the pitch. Done us proud at rangers. Sharing that moment with his mum way his medal proper filled the eyes. Don’t meet guys like that often! P.S the bit about getting angray. A struggle to picture a angray defo!
this interview is amazing send this to young players, current player hell send this to anyone who is trying to get to his goal whatever it is. be hungry and show it your dreams are worth it.
If he was playing now, Pep or Klopp would've seen the vision. This man's mentality and quality was next level and he deserved better. One of the 100 PL goals club but most of it from the bench or whilst playing for B level teams. MAD!
One of the best guests. So engaging so honest so clear and concise. When he's talking about his academy days it was like I was on the journey with him. Man like Jermaine. Enjoy retirement my bro!
Only time England have ever beaten Italy in my lifetime. Granted it was just a friendly but Defoe’s goal was outrageous and showed what level he was at. Would have liked him at United, a natural goalscorer even if his talent was worked on religiously. Great episode this, might be the best one yet 👏👏
Absolutely outstanding interview. There are young players playing in the pl now could benefit from listening to this outstanding Player . Big Up ! Five !
Jermaine Defoe one of the best PL and world strikers in the world. Also he needs to come more often, his knowledge is amazing and he knows how to keep the discussion going on in depth. I just wish you would have asked about that free kick when he played in the usa :D one of the funniest moments in footballs history .
Oh my god. Enough. Being a manager is a crapshoot. It all depends on the timing, shrewd recruitment by scouts, and state of the club in that moment in time. There are thousands of former players than can do the job. It's not rocket science. Managing is so incredibly over-rated. People get brainwashed by the importance of a manager, it's incredible how clueless they are.
😂😂 it’s amazing how clueless YOU are on how important managers are. His work ethic is rare as you can see, his attention to detail is also rare and the way he looks after himself is rare. If he can put all these factors into teams he manages he will make a good manager.
What a guy JD is! As a United fan I would have loved him to step on the Old Trafford turf and don that Red shirt and smash hella goals in front of the Stretford End. One of the very best strikers England has ever produced!
@@thrilla72 Yeah exactly it was a golden era for strikers. He was just so consistent every club he played for. Natural goal poacher and fox in the box with killer instinct and clinical finishing
Wow that was a great episode. Genuine insight from a top class striker who was a master of his trade. Fascinating to hear about his mentality from a young age that stayed with him. I just wish Jermain got a year or two to add to his tally at United. He would’ve been a joke at Old Trafford.
most underrated striker in prem history... i loved him as a striker (united fan). people forget this man has 150 plus goals without playing for a top 6 team...
Legend one off the deadliest in the game ibrox misses u! Real shame u couldn’t stay with the club the effect off u training with Morelos was clear to see! All the best for the future😎✌️ a Gers fan!
What a guy , makes me even more gutted he didn’t sign for United now , fantastic player , phenomenal mentality , will make a great coach/manager at some stage. Elite mentality. Different breed back then! 🙌🏽👏🏽
This is by far the best interview with a former player you guys have done, Jermaine seems like a really intelligent guy who is able to properly explain his decisions and feelings on what he does, instead of giving typical footballer cliché answers, everything he said is something I had never heard anyone say before. Also his longevity and quality throughout his career is so underappreciated. And the stuff with Bradley too, what a top guy.
Defoe is a Legend was a real assassin in the box and a great player from a generation of football that raised man nuff respect great interview guys real baller
Defoe is an absolute legend, as a spurs fan I've grown up watching him play for us and when it comes to natural finishers there weren't many better in world football. I could see him having an elite future as a technical coach who helps attackers with finishing and movement in the box. I could see him working at some of the best clubs in the world as part of a coaching team, just thinking about what he could get out of some of the current young number 9s is scary. I even feel like players like Haaland and Mbappe could learn a lot and improve under guidance and coaching from Defoe.
That 1hr 17 mins flew by. Great interview, always loved Defoe. Definitely think he should have played more for England- used to always say this even in my school/college days
Absolutely love Defoe. One of my favourite players of all time. I wished you asked him about mls and missing 2014 world cup as me personally would have taken him. Cold finisher like rio said sharpshooter and seems like a nice guy too.
This is the best channel for information and bridging the football Generations together! I remember you from leyton square days Rio and Anton. Have you heard of my bro Tyreece Campbell at Charlton? If you have time can you talk to him, he is a good humble young man who loves to learn.
Thank you for this one, Rio. As a Spurs fan, absolutely respected JD. A true PREDATOR! Deadly striker, and always magnetic and engaging in person. That 2010 WC: Capello wasn't playing him much, the team needed a spark badly, playing really poorly under Capello, then JD came on against Slovenia and banged a volley in hard to get the win and his World Cup goal to go into the next round. Loved that for him. That, and the hattrick against Bulgaria right after the WC, showed Capello was silly to not give him more time on the pitch. At Spurs: One of the most craziest things about his career is how JD (bravely, and to his own detriment cos he was getting playing more with Ade in the reserves) spoke up for Adebayo when AVB was isolating Ade from the team for wearing a hat. AVB (petty little man) then benched JD and it led to our boy ultimately deciding to leave for Toronto FC. Ridiculous. I wish it had been exposed a bit more in this interview. He was back in the Prem in a year, banging in more goals... All the best to the man JD-trouble.
To have an absolute legend like Jermain Defoe to come and play at Ibrox was unreal, yes it was at the back end of his career but the guy scored goals with an ease like IV never seen, just looked so easy for him to get a goal from nothing, and to see him in that blue strip was an honour, #55 , 🙏🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
Think strikers back in the day are completely different than today. The game has totally changed. Gone is the threat of 2 forwards from a 4-4-2 formation.
@@CheekySport will definitely check it out! Keep up the good work! A great perspective would be players that should have had better careers but for injury like Ledley King, Wilshere or Woodgate? An interesting one also would be players that know they didn't reach their levels. They had great careers but know they could have gone on to superior levels. Anderson, Van de Vaart, Gio dos santos, Taarabt spring to mind?
By far the most underrated English player of his generation. If he had gone to Manchester United at the early part of his career he would of broke all goal scoring records at United. Also what a generally nice person he seems. I have yet to listen to a full episode of one of the these but this one kept me hooked from start to finish. Top man JD & enjoy your retirement.
Growing up I wasnt the biggest guy on the pitch and I played upfront. watching guys like Defoe really helped my game. Today I'm 3rd choice striker for my local sunday league team. Im grateful

Genuinely one of my favourite footballer interviews ever. Calm, Relaxed, honest and informative. Captivating guy whose from ends!

That must have been exhausting. Bet you're glad he retired.
@@joshuataylor3550 Probably a big relief for his family and friends too. At last this incessant screaming can end.
Excluding the jokers above, Defoe at United would have been very fun ngl
Wow. I was expecting a decent interview, but I was absolutely glued to this. Brilliant stuff, gotta get him back!
Defoe what a badman finisher, the turn n shoot policy he had was fire, knew what he wanted to do n people couldn't stop him, absolute quality STRIKER
Man I am so impressed by Defoe. He is engrossing. 🤯
He's something special

That's the best five I've seen without doubt. Really enjoyed that, hugely insightful from a proper 9!!
Rio, this channel is the best! 💯 Thanks for setting it up.
Brilliant show.. Didn't know Defoe was such a brilliant character.. Super stuff FIVE
to see the teams he played for and being 9th in premier league top scorers says all about him absolute baller⚡⚡
This is the kind of guy every young player needs as a coach. He gives such useful detail and no clichéd answers
What a legend. Too bad he didn't get to score this season. EA has to give him an icon or hero card, been using him non stop since FIFA05
Only time England have ever beaten Italy in my lifetime. Granted it was just a friendly but Defoe’s goal was outrageous and showed what level he was at.

To have an absolute legend like Jermain Defoe to come and play at Ibrox was unreal, yes it was at the back end of his career but the guy scored goals with an ease like IV never seen, just looked so easy for him to get a goal from nothing, and to see him in that blue strip was an honour, #55 , 🙏🏻🇬🇧🇬🇧
I loved Defoe , I was watching the Arsena palace match and as a Defoe Diehard,he would make the Arsenal team better. A 25yr old Defoe
Imagine prime Defoe in City or Liverpool's team smh.
Dude was one of my childhood Striker idols and to hear how sound he is makes him more likeable.
Glad to hear the sound is back on...LET'S GO!!!
It's amazing how the best at anything all have a similar approach to success. This is the kind of information I wish I had growing up
Man he was a bagsman. As a Spurs I loved Defoe but I would love to see him win things.
Taking a moment for the quality raps this guy does week in week out. Nice touch to the show
great show .. always remember being impressed by Defoe - no idea of the figures %age-wise but he seemed to just always hit the target, so impressive
Think strikers back in the day are completely different than today. The game has totally changed. Gone is the threat of 2 forwards from a 4-4-2 formation.
Great work! You boys need to get Berba on. Best touch in prem history 👊🏽
We had Berba on during the Euros!!! Type it in bro...amazing show
@@CheekySport will definitely check it out! Keep up the good work! A great perspective would be players that should have had better careers but for injury like Ledley King, Wilshere or Woodgate? An interesting one also would be players that know they didn't reach their levels. They had great careers but know they could have gone on to superior levels. Anderson, Van de Vaart, Gio dos santos, Taarabt spring to mind?
This was just too good man. Defoe don’t get the respect he deserves, big time baller! Prem legend.
WE NEED VIDIC ON NEXT BRUV!!
By far the most underrated English player of his generation. If he had gone to Manchester United at the early part of his career he would of broke all goal scoring records at United. Also what a generally nice person he seems. I have yet to listen to a full episode of one of the these but this one kept me hooked from start to finish. Top man JD & enjoy your retirement.
His knowledge of football is so technical! Feel like you could learn so much
Favorite video in a while. Loved Defoe here.
So glad he played for us at rangers and finally got a title medal brilliant down to earth guy hope he does well in coaching
Growing up I wasnt the biggest guy on the pitch and I played upfront. watching guys like Defoe really helped my game. Today I'm 3rd choice striker for my local sunday league team. Im grateful
😂 Big ups to you man
One of my favorite players of all time. Class act on and off the pitch. Would love to see him back at spurs working with the younger strikers
Superb interview that was🙌🏽✔️
Jermain will have a great career after football 👍🏻 great interview guys, thanks.
