Adam Lallana: 'If you understand football like Alexis Mac Allister, you can play anywhere'
In part two of my engrossing chat with Adam Lallana, we hear about the Brighton man’s adoration for Alexis Mac Allister, the most unselfish of players, whose World Cup performances were so accomplished that Lionel Messi kept looking for him to link play. Adam studies Messi’s technique in order that he can sustain his career for as long as possible. Also: buying into Roberto De Zerbi’s unique deep build-up approach, Santi Cazorla and feeling intimidated to be in the same team as Steven Gerrard.This episode of The Big Interview is brought to you by Innocent Driver.

Classic Big Interview: Robert Snodgrass
Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Robert Snodgrass from season five.The irrepressible winger – now of Hearts – plied his trade at West Ham back then, and we hear how a tough Glasgow upbringing grounded him for when his big chances came at Livingston and then Leeds. Robert dips into his trove of masterly prank phone calls, and there’s an amazing soliloquy on how to make the absolute best of yourself as a footballer and a man.Subscribe to The Big Interview YouTube channel Hosted on Acast.

**REPOST** Classic Big Interview: Luca Vialli
Following the tragic passing of Luca Vialli, here's another chance to hear my interview with the great man from season two. I'll record a personal tribute later today.ThanksG************Here’s another chance to hear my interview with Gianluca Vialli from season two.Gianluca was my favourite footballer during the 1990s, and I had the honour of getting to know him at his peak. He graced Serie A with his goals during a golden age of Italian club football, winning the league and getting to three European finals with Vujadin Boskov’s Sampdoria – an unfancied club who caught the imagination with their togetherness and sheer will to will. At Juventus, Luca played amid a mouth-watering array of talent, as part of the Turin side’s Tridente attack, culminating in a Champions League win on his final game. We hear about how coach Marcello Lippi’s pressing, offensive style at Juve broke the mould of the Italian approach. Gianluca also gives incredible insights into his time at Chelsea – falling out of favour with Ruud Gullit, replacing Gullit as boss, and then his shock and anger at his own unmerited sacking. My friends, it’s simply one of the best Big Interviews ever. Hosted on Acast. See acast.com/privacy for more information. This is a public episode.
