1:58Alan Shearer:Coming up on today's show. I've still got a couple of names. Nah, you don't scare me like that. I've got a few up my sleeve as well.

2:12Alan? 213, because 13's my lucky number. Fucking well is. 213.

2:21Alan Shearer:Hang on a minute Micah Have you said Have you said That you've done A quiz about Top 10 Brazilians Was there some shenanigans Going on here If you would have listened To my answer He's looking He's got a bit Engy there A bit touchy Look at him You've seen him With his chin And everything One more Brazilian name For the money I'm not telling you Where in that list But he is In that list Not getting any Bartelli

3:03Alan Shearer:Hello and welcome to the rest of this football quiz episode. I know you like them with Alan Shearer, Micah Richards and me, Gary Lineker. I'm playing host again because I love having the answers in front of me, to be perfectly honest. Well, we've had some cliffhangers over the last few weeks, and this is the last quiz that we'll do before we head out to the World Cup. But we're recording this before the last game of the Premier League season. So if these statistics do change slightly, I suspect they won't. We'll bear that in mind, please. Right. You ready for the subject matter, Chad? Let's go.

3:43Alan Shearer:Yes, please. The most Brazilian appearances in the Premier League. And I'm not talking about that thing where they shave you completely, okay? I'm talking about footballers, all right? Do you want to go first this time, Alan? Yes. I'll go first. So Brazilian players, of which there have been a lot. I've got the top 20 in front of me. Okay. And I think there are some that you'll definitely get, and then others might be a tad trickier, as always with this quiz. I think I'm all right on this. Have you got a few names in your head, Micah, already? Yeah, I've got a few. I've got a few, yeah. Yeah. Alan?

4:26Got a few, yeah. Yeah. Straight away, I think. Who's going first? Was it Micah went first last time?

4:32Alan Shearer:You're going first, Alan, I think. We've decided that already. Get with it. Okay. Edison. Edison, the Manchester City goalkeeper. Yep Edison is in Second place And as always with this If you can Give me The correct number Of appearances In the Premier League You'll get an extra point And you get first go at that So How long was he at City for Big Me Pellegrini's last season So probably 2016 17 Around there So he's done He did about Six, seven seasons At least Are you trying to help him Mike Are you not Yeah but this is Early doors I was like, Edison's going to be in there, so I don't mind helping him on this.

5:12Alan Shearer:Well, Edison is in there. I've already told you that. Oh. He's in second place. Second. Just want the number of... 250. 250, Micah?

5:24251.

5:27Alan Shearer:You do realise it's not the nearest two competition. You've got to be exact, so that's not going to help you, even though it is higher than what Alan said. But it's not one higher. It's 27 higher. 277 games. I think the thing about Edison, not only was a great goalkeeper, but I think he was known as much for what he did with his hands as he did with his feet. Did you see what Pep said? I think it was yesterday in his press conference that he regretted not giving Joe Hart more of a chance, which was interesting because it was Bravo who replaced Joe Hart. Bravo did okay, but not the level that he fought.

6:04Then he goes and gets Edison. And like you said, guys, He just, he took goalkeeping to the next level. He could play outfield. He had that ping, you know, that half volley.

6:15Alan Shearer:Yeah. Really good. That is a half volley. That is a half volley. Half volley technique. Yes. Where he just used to drop it just off the floor and swass it across. And then just his calmness on the ball as well. I feel as though he definitely changed the way goalkeepers were viewed. He had quite a lot of assists, didn't he? Yeah. In the Premier League. Yeah, for sure. But he was also a bloody good goalkeeper as well, keeping the ball out of the net. Unbelievable. It was fantastic. He had a great presence. Superb goalie. And he's even greater because he's got you a point. So he was second, did you say?

6:50Alan Shearer:Second, yeah. Okay. Micah, over to you. I'll go with another ex-teammate, Fernandinho. Fernandinho, the holding midfield player for Manchester City, is indeed in there in fourth place. Fernandinho so that's 1-1 obviously either of you get an extra point if you can guess the number of games so he was in did he say 4th 4th and how many was Edison 2-7-7 2-7 so I'll give you one clue it's below that 2-3 2-3 Al 2-5 no 2-6-4 2-6-4 he was a clever player wasn't he I mean, he was one of those holding players that we don't seem to naturally produce in this country, would you say, Micah? Yeah, it's strange, actually, because we, you know, pre-season, it's always tough.

7:47And I don't know what he was doing before. He was in, was that Shakhtar before he came to Man City? I think he was. And the running that we did was ridiculous. And he was sick. He was sick after pre-season. you know, one of the running sessions. And we were thinking, if you can't hack pre-season, how on God's earth are you going to hack the Premier League week in, week out? And then by the end of pre-season, he was the best player. He was the fittest, the most technical. It was, he's not just a six, actually. As we saw him in the games at Man City, he swept up, didn't he? And he'd give it to maybe like the likes of David Silva, De Bruyne and all that.

8:29But he had more than that. He was actually like a number eight and he had the energy for it, but he fits so well in Man City's system what a player he was he wasn't he did a few trip ups didn't he when they lost the ball Man City as in fouls

8:43Alan Shearer:he was good yeah stop the opposition what do they call it professional fouls oh he's just put his hand up here sorry take one for the team they say the old cliches he was pretty good at the dark arts of the game as those sort of players have to be really for the counter attack right Right, back to you, Alan. Richarlison. Shout out. Richarlison. He's been around a bit, hasn't he? Obviously. Yeah. He's been around enough, actually, to be in third place, Alan. Third, okay. Yeah. Nice. Richarlison is in third. So, Fernandinho was two, what, six? Did you say it? Two, six, four. And he was in four. What are you going for?

9:27Two, 70.

9:28Alan Shearer:Micah. Two, seven, five. Two, seven, four.

9:36Alan Shearer:he's a bit of an enigma isn't he Richarlison because sometimes he goes through a stretch of games and you go blimey he's got the lot and then he disappears for a few weeks and do you think he's a bit streaky he's very streaky you're right one minute you think yeah and then for too long after that you don't you never see it enough in repetitive games there's always flashes where you think yeah look at that and then you don't see it again for a while and I think that's probably been his issue with the clubs that he's been at Is it because he's not got a because he's not like a number nine is he he's a forward you'd say Why is he then Michael if he's not a nine I think he is a nine but he's not I don't think he's a natural Yeah I think he's sort of off off off the nine or more from the left coming on his right foot I think that would suit him really well because he's got trickery, hasn't he?

10:33Does he work hard enough to be in one of those wide positions or coming off the left? I think he could do, yes. I actually think his word on play is work hard but he's not disciplined enough so he'd always be running back, you know, after he's supposed to have made his run back or he'd go forward on his own terms but I think in terms of fitness and all that sort of stuff, like when I see him pressing sometimes, I think you don't really fit you but it's just yeah it's just a discipline I would say

11:04Alan Shearer:remember we were at the World Cup game when Brazil played and he scored that great goal that's what we was doing the samba we beat you in well you were doing the samba until security got you out do you remember that oh I don't remember oh my god oh you were misbehaving I was at my first World Cup oh absolutely delighted to be there cause a diplomatic scene the guy so what happened I don't know you better tell it I think you have but tell it again because a lot of people but you're good at telling these stories because you saw it from your point of view didn't you Gaz but I'll give you just a quick overview of my point it was on a platform outside wasn't we and all it was like the lights were going down or whatever and for some reason the three bigotters got seats so I think it was Alan Gilberto and yourself I didn't have anywhere to sit So I'm scrambling thinking, what do I do?

11:59I'm not gonna sit on the floor. So minding my own business, I was just stood by the end of the platform, facing the pitch. The guy told me to sit down. I said to him, I've not got nowhere to sit. And he said, he started effing and jeffing, saying sit down. So I've got a streak in me where, where someone, I feel as though someone's taking advantage of me and I'm in the right. So I started effing and jeffing back, didn't they? And then someone had come over was it was it Whitey who was the floor manager and he said

12:32Alan Shearer:calm down calm the fuck down you should be doing that because he can he can take you out the whole ground how am I supposed to explain to the BBC that I've been thrown out the ground thrown out the ground for that? It got close I remember it was cause of scene and I was going come on it was nothing it'll blow over don't worry about it right we've got two, three and four. It's sober to you, Micah. So we've had Edison, Rich Charleston, Fernandinho. Fernandinho.

13:07Let's go with

13:12William. William. Yes. I didn't think of him. He's played a great shout, that is.

13:18Alan Shearer:And he's come back at time. He's gone away, come back. That's a great shout. It's such a great shout that he's number one. He's first, is he? He's first, Willian, yeah. So it's 2-2, but it could go 3-2 to one of you if you can give me the correct number of appearances in the Premier League for Willian. Well, Edison was 2-7-7, so I'll go 300. 300, round figure. Alan? 3-10. It's higher, 3-2-7. 3-2-7? Yeah, he's comfortably clear. 50 clear, actually. My maths are correct. Wow. Yeah, so it's 2-2. William was, he's a good player. And he technically cutting in and go down the wing. His quick feet. Rappin' feet.

14:03Alan Shearer:Quick feet. I love watching him play. Jinky. Jinky, yeah. He's a little afro. Oh, what a player. And he could work as well. He worked back, didn't he? Yeah, I think he's one of those absolutely solid pros that you can understand why he's made so many appearances in the Premier League for what he gave Chelsea, Arsenal, Fulham yeah yeah now we're getting to the bottom half of the top 10 when we get one more we'll take a break and it's back to you Alan I'm going to say the other goalkeeper Alison good shout Alison is in there Al yeah good Al his son he is in 6th place so that's 3-2 to Alan right number of games 2-5-5.

14:52Alan Shearer:2-5-5, Micah. 2-50. Micah, if you'd done your thing where you just go one below, that would have worked. 2-5-4. Oh! 2-5-4. I mean, Alison, I think you've always said, Micah, you think he's the best keeper when there's a one-on-one. The best. My father. Yeah. He's timing. He waits so long before making the decision to go. A lot of goalkeepers make the decision early. No matter what the striker's going to do, I'm just going to go. Because the position that they're in at the time, they feel it's best to save the shot. But he always gives himself an extra beat, doesn't he? And times it. And then when he gets there, I always preferred Edison because of my links with Man City.

15:36But in terms of, if you actually look at goalkeeping, he was the best in the Premier League for a while, wasn't he? He was that good. One-on-one saves, organisation. He wasn't as good as Edison on the ball, but commanding his area and everything, he was top notch.

15:50Alan Shearer:He strikes me. I don't know him. I've never met him. Well, I've met him very, very briefly, but I don't know him. But he comes over to me as not just a great goalkeeper and a good guy, but a leader. And he did pop up, didn't he, and score that goal against West Brom, which, you know, was amazing for everyone, unless you're a Leicester fan, because it meant we missed out on the Champions League that season. That's why you're a member of that. The least of our worries these days, the Champions League. We don't bother about that. But yeah, he popped up, didn't he? That little header. I remember holding my head in my hands and going, oh, I'm crushed.

16:27Alan Shearer:Normally you'd cheer that on. So, right. Al's got a lead of three to two. Let's take a break and we'll see who charges ahead when we come back.

18:34Alan Shearer:Welcome back to the Rest is Football Quiz episode with Mike Richards and Alan Shearer. I'm looking for the most Brazilian appearances in the Premier League. We've got five of the top six. We haven't got fifth place, seventh, eighth, ninth, and tenth. So that's possibly when it gets tricky, but I don't think the names are too difficult, but there are a lot of Brazilian players that have excelled in the Premier League. It's your go, Mike Richards. I've still got a couple of names. No, you don't scare me like that. I've got a few up my sleeve as well. David Luiz. Luiz. David Luiz. Yeah, of course.

19:11Alan Shearer:Yes. Arsenal-Chelsea. Paid quite a lot of games, actually,

19:20Alan Shearer:which squeezes him into the top 10 at ninth. So well done, Micah. David Luiz. David Luiz. I think he was one of those defenders that was known really for when he was on the ball, not necessarily defensively sometimes. He'd take chances and make the odd mistake. But he was also, you know, he was quite a creative footballer. He was a midfielder, wasn't he? He played midfield, but he also played at the back. Yeah, he played a lot of his games at the back. He played a lot of games at the back and he also played in a holding... Do you think he's probably better as a holding midfielder because if you make a mistake when you're the last man, you're in trouble.
