Valverde Saves the Day

25:08As it happened with the set-pieces, things will go back to normal, especially because we have one of the best goalkeepers in the world, but we have to give him a chance to make a save. A deflected shot three days ago is for every goalkeeper impossible to save. All right, first of all, let's get Stevie's thoughts on it. Well, listen, I was brought up that... A while back. It was a wee while ago. It was a wee while ago. That the basics of the game are the most important thing, right? And so when you have 11 players whose basics are at such a high standard, then that's when your ability that you have in the team will then take over.

25:55But when you're making mistake after mistake, whether it's defensively, whether it's giving the ball away, whether it's not taking your chances, that means that the game can sometimes come down to one basic error. But if you've taken care of all those things, then when it comes down to a basic thing to do, you don't make a mistake. Your standards are so high, your concentration's there, that you don't make mistakes. and it doesn't matter if you're 3-0, 5-0 or 10-0. If you've got a certain mindset and a mentality, then you don't let that goal in at the end. And that is, again, I said it yesterday or the other day, that goal is a microcosm of the problems that Liverpool have, one of the problems Liverpool have had because their basics have been way below the standard they need to be.

26:46You would have never let that happen, Naden, would you?

26:52Nobody check my Wikipedia please. Maybe I would have let that happen a few times. But what I would say from my perspective on that is when the game went to 3-0, I think myself, Ale, Stevie, lots of people who've played in the past, you say things like, for example, right, the game's done, let's get a clean sheet. That becomes the next focus because you know, in terms of a win itself, it's right there for you. And I don't think there's been a goal which I've conceded which hasn't mattered to some level and you know of importance within the game itself and I think the goal itself it's just a long ball from the goalkeeper by the way a lot more accurate than during the warm-ups yeah it's just it's a long ball over the top for somebody running into the space I'm glad you brought it up one of the worst types of goals that you can see I'm glad you brought that up because yeah we did want to take a look back at that Naden protecting Alex even though he wasn't protecting her afterwards with her predictions so we decided to go back over the footage and Alex had mentioned that there were two times that it happened it's not that one it's not this it's not this one I promise you there's another one I promise you there's another one tell you what yeah there's another one where she nearly died not every hero wears a cape and neither does need them honestly that makes me look like I'm such a drama queen making a fuss out of nothing.

28:13I know you are, but that's fine. It was inches away. It was inches away. It just wasn't caught on camera. But believe me, trust me. Anyway, anyway, anyway, anyway. Kind of the football thing. Lo and behold, Stephen Mannerman, one of the best attackers of his generation, is saying the goal that his team conceded didn't matter. From a defensive standpoint, it always matters. You know, this is where there can be a real different splitting mindset. And that will matter to Alisson. That will matter to the back four. If the goal didn't matter, Sabah's like wouldn't be running back. Robertson wouldn't be running back.

28:40People in midfield wouldn't be running back. Of course it matters. And yes, they're delighted to be in the draw for the next round. But there is just that mark again. And going forward, the more times you put stuff like this on film, the next team that plays against them, they'll think, well, maybe we can just go and kick the ball long and have a great chance coming from it. Well, there you go. Sloppiness, it's a terrible thing to have at really terrible times. I am curious, though, when you hear Arnest Zlot say something like, well, things are going to go back to normal. Can I ask a question?

29:09what is normal for Liverpool this season? Because back to normal means what? Back to normal, what has been normal this season is for them to give up goals late. We talked about it endlessly in the pregame. Back to normal means chaos at the end of matches. Back to normal means dropping points unnecessarily so in the league. Back to normal means struggling defensively. Back to normal means disconnected in the midfield. That has been normal this season. So while I suppose that I get what he's trying to say, back to normal or normal this season, it's not the normal that everybody would want. What's back to normal for Liverpool?

29:46Winning comfortably? Which normal? Exactly. Are we talking about last year's normal? If we're talking about last year's normal, that's not going to happen. You know, and the slot's gone, well, eventually it's going to go back to normal. What? Are we eight months into the season? It's not normal. We're nearly eight months into the season and this has become the normal. Yep. So, no, unless you work on it and figure it out, it's not just going to all of a sudden happen on its own. It's called concentration, hard work and coaching. Because right now that back line needs coaching big time. Nathan doesn't just save Alex.

30:26He actually made a decision. He made a decision. Took a step back. Our team have actually found the key moment. We actually didn't show it before. This is the key moment. All right, here we go.

30:40No, no, doesn't do it justice. Doesn't do it justice. It was that moment. It was that moment. He did say sorry, but you couldn't see exactly what happened there. Like a torpedo, honestly. It's ridiculous how hard he kicked the ball towards her. And I had to warn her. I think it might have been intentional, you know. I think it might have been intentional. I hope not. I'm glad we won't be seeing him in the next round. Yeah, they love it, don't they? Do the footballers love trying to get the pitch side reporters? Of course they do. Try and get them all the same. We know that. Alex and Nadem, is this the duo this weekend?

31:11And where are you off to across the weekend with the FA Cup? No. I'm very much down in tools after tonight. I can't work two days in a row. This is impossible. You guys know me well now. I can never do that. I'm off to Wrexham, Chelsea tomorrow. Yeah. So looking forward to that. Yeah, I'm not going there. Are you working Sunday? I'm not working Sunday. Okay. I'm not doing it either. but I will be at West Ham on Monday night for the big one, them against Brentford. Brentford, yes. The big one. Yes, the big one. And then the draw as well on Monday. Yes, it all balances out. Thanks so much for being with us, guys.

However, they are still top of the table ahead of Lens by only four points right now though, having played a game more. Frank Leboeuf is joining us now. What's wrong with PSG, Frank? Oh, many things, many things. And Lens will be delighted.

33:40They're going to play against Messe tomorrow, so hopefully they're going to get the three points. They're going to chase Paris Saint-Germain. And Paris Saint-Germain is not doing great. And where they're not doing great, where they were the best at, in the middle of the park. and with Vitinha, with Neves, with Fabien Riz, that was absolutely fantastic last season. Well, yeah, a year already ago. But today, and we saw that also in the Champions League against Monaco again, where they were so weak in the middle of the park. And Vitinha, Zahe Emery, and after Lee, who substituted Fernandes, lost the three balls that allowed Monaco to score the three goals that they scored.

34:20But on top of it, they were very much inexistent, invisible. And we know that the impact that you can have and you have to put on when you play in the middle of the park is crucial in order to win the battle. And when you think about the next game they're going to play against Chelsea with Caicedo, I think Rhys James may be in the middle of the park if Marlo Gusto plays on the right back. And Fernandes at the top of the triangle. That's going to be a hard task. if Chelsea plays the way they play against Aston Villa, Paris Saint-Germain has to be worried because the way they play, the inconsistency that they show, on top of it, the forward line were at the best last season again.

35:03He's very far away from their best level. Dwayne was inexistent today. Dembele came on, tried to do what he had to do, but otherwise that was nothing. Bacola runs a lot, but misses so much opportunity that you're not worried about any chances that he can get. And at the back, Marquinhos wasn't there. And we didn't see much about Pacho, Mendes and Hakimi today. So, yes, I'm worried about the game that he's going to get against Chelsea if they play that way. Yeah, let's throw it forward to that game because it's coming up on Wednesday in the Champions League. PSG will be at home, Frank. And we know that we just got to see Dembele coming back in this game against Monaco tonight.

35:45So we expect to see more of him in this clash. Give us your biggest concerns against this Chelsea, Frank. You know this Chelsea well as well.

35:56Well, again, if Paris Saint-Germain plays the way they play today or they play in the last game that they play in the Champions League against Monaco again, where the power that they used to have in the middle of the park is not there anymore, against the Chelsea, where? We don't know what kind of Chelsea we're going to get. But even the Chelsea we saw against Aston Villa, that's going to be a very hard time for Paris Saint-Germain. Because we see that if Chelsea is strong and they are consistent in the middle of the park and they do what they have to do, they can be a threat. And on top of it with João Pedro, which I think is back to his best and what we saw during the World Cup tournament.

36:37And remember, the only team we beat when Paris Saint-Germain was at the top of the top was Chelsea. and became champion of the world. So you have to be concerned about the fact that Paris Saint-Germain is far away from the Paris Saint-Germain, who played very well the last season, the last six months, and is very close to what we saw at the beginning of the last season. And that's, for Luis Enrique, something that he has to change. Will he be able to change that in two, three days? Yeah, if Mbélé comes back at his best, if Dui shows his best, it's possible for them to score goals. But how are they going to defend?

37:19How are they going to work in the middle of the park? I don't have the answer. It's become a modern European rivalry, PSG against Chelsea. And obviously, Frank just mentioned there the Club World Cup final was between these two. PSG are favourites, though, going into this clash this week. How do you see it? And they should be favourites because of the equity that they have built in this tournament. The problem is that we are making that assessment based on what we have seen from PSG last season. If we base it upon what we have seen from PSG so far this season, whether it's in Ligue 1 or Champions League, you see vulnerabilities.

38:01You see concerns. And the area that would concern me the most if I were PSG, I may have had issues in the back. I may have issues maybe creating enough opportunities or scoring those opportunities. But what made them the best team in Europe last season was the strength and dynamic control of the midfield. Where players like Vitinha were playing at a high level, world-class elite level. Joao Neves and Fabian Ruiz, and you think about how good they were in that area of the field. And when you see them play today, or you go back to the last game that they played against Monaco in Champions League, where Monaco, with a man down, should have scored a late goal to tie it fast, had a chance and missed the header.

38:54you're saying this midfield vulnerable exposed disconnected not controlling the pace of the game not controlling the quality of possession not having sort of this this this superiority because they have been so clean on the ball no they're turning the ball over in bad areas and defensively they're not close to people or close enough to people to go and press and repress so that they can regain possession of the ball in advanced positions. PSG is vulnerable. They are vulnerable and if there was ever a time to play against PSG, I think it's right now. So Chelsea, get excited. You have a chance, but you have to play at a high level in order to take advantage of PSG's vulnerabilities.

39:34Who have you got, PSG or Chelsea, to go through after the two legs? You know, when the draw came out and we were talking about it, I had PSG as the team that I didn't want to play against. But, as the boys have already mentioned, we're talking about the Monaco game. Monaco completely outplayed them in the last Champions League game. At home. Completely dominated them. And the fact that PSG going forward have got pace and ability is why they managed to salvage themselves and actually get through this tie. If I think of the Chelsea that we saw the weekend, I'm thinking, my goodness, if this Chelsea turns up, they could dominate PSG.

40:23However, you know, the Champions League itself, teams have a, teams can, they may struggle in the league. Look at Liverpool. Look at Tottenham, the best example. Probably look as though they're going to get relegated. But right now, in terms of Champions League, they look great. So I'm going to hang my hat on the fact that it's the Champions League. and it's a big game and a big night. And this is a big night for PSG because of the way they've been playing. So I'm just going to say PSG edges it, but I'm not saying that with a huge amount of confidence. Okay. Well, we will be keeping up to date with everything that goes on in the Champions League right here on ESPN FC.

42:20Bayern Munich played early in the Bundesliga and beat Borussia Mönchengladbach 4-1 to go 14 points clear at the top of the table. Four goals scored, and that's without Harry Kane, who has a slight calf issue. Luis Diaz, Conrad Leimer, Jamal Musiala from the penalty spot and Nico Jackson with the goals for company's men. To the other competitions this season, and next up for them is Atalanta. in the Champions League. I think I'm right in saying they've never met in a competitive fixture. However, Atalanta have been the German slayers so far, but with all due respect you would say that this version of Bayern should very much be able to get past this Atalanta side because we just saw what they did tonight without Harry Kane.

43:02Are they the best team right now in Europe, Ali?

43:07If the final were to be played tomorrow and Bayern Munich are in it, you're thinking who's playing better than them currently and it's hard to come up with a name. Some people will throw Arsenal out there and that would be a tricky matchup for Bayern Munich given the fact that Bayern Munich struggles to defend set pieces whereas Arsenal is very good at attacking set pieces. Having said all that, while you can say that Atalanta has been the German slayer, well, that is everybody else in Bundesliga and that's how Bundesliga has been this season. It's Bayern Munich and then everybody else. It hasn't been competitive.

43:43It really hasn't. And so I don't think you can equate the success of Atalanta against other German teams to somehow then make the assumption, and it's quite the leap to say, well, against Bayern Munich, they're going to slay them too. No, it doesn't quite work out that way. That mathematics simply doesn't add up for me. Bayern Munich is far better in all facets of the game than Atalanta. And if they play up to their standard, I think Bayern Munich will go through. And Atalanta would have had a good run. And that's about it. Bayern Munich with the Champions League this season, Stevie. They're absolutely in the equation.

44:25I agree 100 % with what Ali said about this particular tie. And yes, I guess if you're one of the other sides that are looking to win it, if you can avoid Bayern Munich right now, the way they're playing, then use happily avoid them. Yes, absolutely. That's how things are looking. Bayern getting things underway in the Bundesliga. More games to come this weekend. Be sure to be with us for them. ESPN Plus has you covered every single weekend for all the games in Germany.

44:56Napoli beat Torino 2-1 today in the Serie A. Santos and Elmas with the goals for Conte's men. That puts them to within just a point of Milan ahead of them in second. but they have played again more have Napoli and there'll be more talk about the Serie A on the Gab and Jules show. Make sure to check that out. They drop every single Monday and Thursday. All right, that's all we've got time for in the latest edition of ESPN FC, but Frank's sticking around to answer your questions with these guys, so stay right where you are. Extra Time is on the way next.

45:32Welcome into the latest edition of Extra Time. We have Ali and Stevie here in the studio and Frank Leboeuf is joining us to answer your questions tonight. Oh, I did want to say thank you, Frank. I was watching the other day when you chose Middlesbrough to be one of the promoted championship teams. Thank you very much. Thank you very much. You know that. You know how much I love you. Thank you, Frank. We saw it. It did not go unnoticed. All right, guys. Who's done the best managerial job this season from the perspective of taking over a club mid-season? Nuno with West Ham, Carrick with Manchester United, Matarazzo with Real Sociedad, or anyone else?

46:17Well, I'm going to take, let me just go ahead and take Matarazzo because he has this team playing for a title in Copa del Rey final against Atlético Madrid. And Real Sociedad were all over the place. He showed up and without sacrificing his philosophy of pressing higher the field and attacking, he has given this team some structure defensively, has changed really the mindset of the group. They're scoring more goals, they're creating more chances. It's a team that is, even though they're willing to press higher the field, they're more disciplined than they were before. He has really had an impact and has made this team actually fun to watch, which they weren't all that much fun before.

47:00Any takers, guys, for anyone else on that list? Thank you. Oh, sorry. Go on, Frank. You go ahead, Frank. Oh, I think not a long time ago, I would have said Unai Emery because what he was capable of doing, you know, with Aston Villa was absolutely fantastic. But lately, I have to change my mind because of the bad result that Aston Villa went through. So, can I go with Vence and company? I mean, I like the way that he thinks of football, the way that he makes his team play. Yeah, it may be easy for Bayern Munich, but I have to say that the way that he does it, it's only for the Premier League or not?

47:40No, this is a slight caveat, it's managers who've taken over mid-season. Mid-season, Frank, mid-season. Okay. Well, but yeah, but Michael, I'm sorry. I'm absolutely wrong in all the answers, so I'm sorry. Okay. Carrick is a little bit too early. It's like Liam Rossignor. Can I go with Sir Alex Ferguson? Yeah, yeah, yeah, exactly. No, I'm with Ali. I'm going to go with Materazzo. All right, Stevie, are you going to say it? What? Are you going to give Carrick any props? Well, I actually was. But I think Frank might have... Just a little line there changed my mind. Because Matarazzo... Oh, not company.

48:30Matarazzo, no question, has got to the final. Major final. That's big time. And I was thinking... I was actually thinking the answer was Carrick. Because, you know, carrying Manchester United as opposed to Real Sociedad is two different things. I mean, pressure-wise, the whole thing. And the fact that there's absolutely zero noise now around Old Trafford. Every person, every pundit, every supporter, I think, is Man United are comfortably going to be the top four, probably the top three. But, thanks, Edith, the season hasn't finished yet. He just gave it a way out of saying Carrick at Manchester United.

49:16So the fact that Matarazzo's got them to a final, it has to be Matarazzo. Sounds like Carrick at Manchester United to me. Don't blame Frank. It's like everything you said in the middle there about Carrick at Manchester United, it sounds like that's who you should go for. Well, that was what I was thinking until Frank said. Not what I said. That was Ali. Why are we deflecting, Stevie? Don't deflect. Just go ahead. Take Carrick. It's all right. Michael Carrick. The thing, if I may, the thing is about what Stevie was just eluding, the impact that Carrick made in such a short time to Manchester United, where it was almost one of the worst times in the history of Manchester United, that's been erased in four, five games, six games maybe, from the way that Carrick was able to change his team.

50:16And that's amazing because it's kind of a miracle that we'd have just seen. And it's because of him. So we could have said Carrick as well because we don't judge Manchester United anymore like we used to do before he arrived. Okay. Sounds like two for Carrick there. It really does, doesn't it? Two for Carrick. Reluctantly. Luis Diaz, best signing of the window for any club, Ali. Yes. Or as my German friends would say. Ja! Yes. He talked about changing a team. And this is a team that was already made and built for success. and yet his unpredictability and how he plays his position makes this team have more variety in the attack.

51:10And so we know Harry Kane and we know Michael Elisa and then Jamal Musiala is coming back from injury and he's playing well again. And so then it's like, well, what can Luis Diaz give this group? He's giving them assists. He's giving them goals. He's giving them energy, movement, variety. He has been everything that Bayern Munich would have wanted, and more, he's been excellent. I have a question. No, of course not. But I have a question for Stevie. Is there a right reason for Liverpool to get rid of Gias? They said something. Not a journalist is asking, why did you get rid of Luiz Gias? Why did you leave?

52:01Well I think, I think you're spending the money on Isak, you're spending the money on Verts, you have Gak4 and you're getting offered what nearly 70 million? 75 million. 75 million for a guy who's 29 years old. I mean, I mean hindsight's dead easy isn't it? I mean, I'm thinking now, if only Diaz doing what he's doing, not just for Liverpool last year, but what he's doing for Bayern. But at the time, it seemed like a very sensible and great business deal to get 75 mil for a 29-year-old when you already have Gakpo and then you bring in Verts and Isak. So there weren't too many people complaining.

52:49Let me put it that way. All the so-called experts, nobody said Liverpool are crazy, Liverpool are mad. Why are they doing this? Nobody said that. So. So that's my answer, Frankie boy. Yeah. You're an expert in my mind, Stevie. That's fair. You're not a so-called expert. You're an expert. Stevie. That's, sorry, that's very fair. But it's not the question, what are you getting rid of Luis Diaz? It's after six months, say, why did you get rid of Diaz? That's more a question nowadays, you know, but I understand what was your answer and you're absolutely right. That was a great business. Yeah. Well, it's numbers as well, because you're giving Salah a contract.

53:34You bring in Isaac, you bring in Invertz. So you've been offered 70 million for a guy who you don't want to lose, but it doesn't make any sense. A, does he play? B will take the 70 mil. Stevie, after today's game, is there a case to drop Gakpo and play Engamoa alongside Eketike and Salah? I would have done it before today's game. I would have played Eketike through the middle and I would have played Engamoa on the left-hand side and Gakpo would have sat. That's what I would have done. Ale, who's better at defending, Trent or Cancelo?

54:17Wow. That's the rock there and this is the hard place. Wow. Kenny Beamu is the worst. Wow. It's quite easy this one, isn't it? Well, I'm going to say, what's the question again? I'm sorry. Who's better? Who is better at defending? OK. We don't want the overall game and what they offer anywhere else. Defending. Joao Cancelo is a better defender than Trent Alexander-Arnold. Trent Alexander-Arnold, and I say it in the presence of two defenders, He is an insult to defending. He is. What he does, you cannot call defending. Joao Cancelo, at the very least, throws his body around. You know, it's amazing when you think of Trent, right?

55:03You know, we talk about the greatest players ever. And people talk about Maradona, Zappellis and Kreuz. And all of these names, they would all have played in any era. all of these guys Gerrard Roy Keane Bergkamp I mean they would have played in any era the one thing you can say about these two guys neither of them would play in any era I mean Trent wouldn't get a game in the 80s Trent would be playing for a second or third division team well certainly not as a right back not as a right back he may have been a midfield type winger But even then, you still had to run back. So that's the difference between those two guys.

55:50Going forward, yeah, can't argue, but in terms of the way they played the game, they wouldn't have played in any era, that's for sure. Frank, what are your memories of scoring against South Korea in Seoul in 2002? That was a great goal. Was the French team confident going into the 2002 World Cup? And what do you think went wrong? Oh, but especially that game. That game was played like five days before the World Cup. We were already exhausted. I remember that I think Patrick Vieira had played like 67 games in the season. And remember that because of the monsoon, the World Cup was played earlier.

56:35And I remember Franz Bickenboer saying that that was insane to play that and nobody had the time to recover. and I think we were not the only team, well we were maybe the worst of the big teams, but we weren't the only team not being good enough for that World Cup. But we had to play that game and yes, I scored the last goal, the last minute of the game. But I remember the day before saying to Marcel Desailly, I think we have to rest some players, you know, it would be better. And I talked to the coach and the coach said, no, by contract we have to play the best team. I said, well, that's insane.

57:13Five days before the first game. And when we left the field and we went to the dressing room, I remember watching everybody and everybody had their head down because they were like out of breath. Like, my God, what's going on? And I was very pessimistic about the first game. We were right to be, and I was right to be pessimistic. I think that game finished us for the World Cup and the result wasn't surprising for us. We were out of, I think it was the end of the generation, but I think physically we were exhausted after that year. What about the goal that he scored? I want to know about the goal.

57:57Me too, of course. Me too, Frank. Oh, that was a cross, and I controlled the balls with my chest, I let it down, and I volleyed it in the top corner. Ah, there it is. Last second of the game. Not too bad. Not too bad. Not too shabby. That was good, Frank. That was good to me. You see how he sat up and controlled the ball with his chest again? Yeah, he gave it a four. As you should. You have to do it with style. It's always the style matters. The style matters, you know. You control with the chest, you let it back, and you volley with the outside of the foot, you know? Like, slang, you know? He's finished like that.

58:38Italian player will say, Eccolo qua. Killer K knows exactly. Eccolo qua. Yep. OK, Stevie, did you ever settle up with your plough guy? Oh. I don't know about you, Stevie. Take me through it. He's gone rogue, he's disappeared. Can't get in touch with him. For those that don't know, give us the context of the question. Well, fortunately, we only had 18 inches or so a couple of weeks ago. Just the 18. And so we got this guy's number from the local paper. He had advertised looking for people to cloud their drive. So we thought, perfect. Call them up. Can you come Monday? Yeah. this was on this was on the Saturday so it was gonna start snowing Sunday all through Monday so he said yeah I'll come Monday soon as it finishes it's due to finish around three four o 'clock in the afternoon soon as it's finished I'll come Bob's your uncle job done perfect I was off wasn't working so like you know what that's great so basically you're sitting in your couch with your I'm sat with a couple of you know what's watching the telly, in front of the fire.

59:59And all of a sudden it was about nine o 'clock at night and we had 18 inches of snow on the drive. I thought this guy was coming just after four o 'clock.
