Q&A Val let’s go hi Val here this is my Instagram Q&A okay the first question fish face best player you played with in your career then without a do Z Roberto at Bayern Munich um incredible players um technically great personality um it was a pleasure to to play with him um as

A center back especially when he played in Midfield when we were on the pressure just to to pass him the ball and um he had always some some solution so definitely Z Roberto so the next one Alfie Walton what’s the best song you’ve heard from the

Fans uh I have to say the last one at C Jack liore Jack liore Jack liore there a good one it’s in my mind since Q so hopefully J can score a lot of goals and we can hear that song um a lot of time GK standon if you could invite a

Free famous sport person to a dinner party who would there be can be one anyone from present or history so I think the first one could be Michael Jordan I think that um is is a a big personality but it’s more the mindset and to which the

Um the top and and to to stay uh to stay that that uh that level um the second one would say p um is the same that um he was maybe earlier in in in his age and and in his Generation Um it was maybe more suitable in our generation now to to

Play but it was a he was he was there and I think um it was an incredible incredible player and um to learn from from him as a human being as well and um the third one would be definitely um Tiger Woods um I think that um someone I

Would would love to um to me just to to understand and then to to to see to learn his his mindset um with um when you reach the top and and big setback and and any way to to come back to find the way back to to find the the focus so

I think there are three personality um I would learn a lot dead dancing one two three what is your favorite thing to have on toast on toast I like uh butter and uh Jam so strawberry I like it from Jack budington how long do you

Work every day how long so I am in at 545 in the in the morning um do my uh my stuff my and workouts um the first work um in the in the office then the breakfast then everyone is coming um think at least 8 8:00 a.m. everyone is

In and you can imagine everyone coming to my office and you have to start your your decision that’s why I woke up earlier um to have the time for for me to prepare myself and to to attack the day and uh the day is finished when when

I’m done so it could be 4 5 6 7 uh 700 p.m. so I have no um no real time to uh to to stop is when the job is done then I’m I’m finished so uh full commitment this is uh my expectations on my uh man players

And uh so I need to lead by example George Parker apart from the gay rules how much has football changed C you was a player what are the difference in the game uh for sure the speed of the of the game uh changes a lot um the the the the

Physicality so the player become more and more faster and and and Technical uh able to to have some skill in high speed and uh the second part is a tactical part uh evolve massively um now you see how how the team try to overload the the Midfield to control the the Midfield to

Control more the the ball um so you see over the the the the last 10 years that the football Chang massively and you you see as well all the the player now I think kilan mbappe is the perfect example um um Holland um new generation of of players strong big fast

Technically uh very good so it makes um makes make the the big change uh the big difference from my time to uh till now Dan Mo what is your Nando order what is nandos sorry sorry then I have to learn something nandos so thank you I will try totally what for you can

Only eat one food for the rest of your life what are you choosing definitely pasta I love pasta I can eat pasta every day um so every kind of sauce or just with butter or everything so I love pasta um so I would say definitely

Pasta am XX one3 if you were stuck on an island with three footballers from any team who would you want to be on there with it’s a good one yeah I would I would say maybe not footballers but maybe coaches at least you you can speak about every Everything ad is so would

Say pep Gula definitely the the the first one um maybe Asen venger um we come from the the same the same region actually so French Strasburg um could be could be good to um to have some some discussion about uh about everything to to learn a lot would be

Difficult with footballers because they are all on the social media at the minute with Instagram and so to have a discussion with them could be could be even more difficult even with my daughter sometimes to have some some discussion so that’s why I think it’s

More we and Diego Simeon I think I will where we go for for Diego Simeon as well so pep Gula aren Wenger Diego Simeon rhd UK If you had to switch aircuts with one player who would it be and why no I don’t want to switch any haircut I’m I’m

Happy with my haircut and um at the minute is uh I think you have only two choice in football is either you have a short one or you have the long the long hair so I don’t like the long hair so I I choose the the short

One nor rating sport as we know Turkey is a very passionate footballing country what did you learn either personal or footballing during your time at bikas manager so first of all it was a great experience I have to say so the the country the the city Istanbul uh the

Club is a massive club uh the stadium the location of the stadium is amazing I think it’s is the most beautiful um location for Stadium I I saw so next to the to the Sea uh the stadium himself as well very very loud um I learned the the passion very demanding uh

Offense um a draw is is not enough always always a win so I enjoy my time there my staff as well enjoy uh the time there but as we know we know the the pressure as it is and you just need to pick the right time to to leave before

Is too uh too late so but it was a great experience and um I can only recommend if someone some other colleagues got the opportunity to to manage a club like like bikas um then is this experience is worth Jam s what’s your favorite El Elon Johnson um for sure sacrifice um because

It was um I was young at that time but um it was definitely a song um came straight away for for me as as um memories second one could be maybe Nikita um as well so um I was always a elto John fan um so I got that feeling

Now I more closer than than him um but um yes I think Elon John was for every age every generation is a is a song and and in my generation of my time was sacrifice and Nikita um the the the main one Alex eand will Jack limore win the

Ballondor this year of next year um I think the yes he a he he a he a new Jack Livermore um I know him from from West broom for for sure but uh this year is the best version version I saw from from him um scoring goal is a

Leadership is a he’s a great guy um but yes if we can give him the the Ballon door we we can we we can give him but he a he’s a good one okay guys that’s it thank you to watching my Q&A and hopefully see you soon for the next One
