Really Doesn't are you today I'm very well thanks very much but not good because the Algerian football fans showed us how it's a policy not just in Algiers not just in Paris but all same Finn's Republic the road from many. Many other places was a very. Free North America so we're more cruel and I must say that sounds Francaise Algeria right now you're our other guest says Jim victory the legendary No he's a really really good into. Good morning think this is the nearly 22 year is this is a 1st never done the world football fan in from Rio with a hood on before that's how cold it is I'm I'm a walk out of winter but I'm feeling. A little bit like Brazil's goalkeeper in the copper America tonight. Alison is I am is much true than mine because in the copper America Alison could have taken a deck chair out and just had a privileged view of what was happening in front of him and I feel a little bit a sign because I'm here with a privileged view of surely what's going to mine story tonight which is the African Cup of Nations and Algeria and how good they were and how they could have been better and so on and all the things coming out of calf I feel I've got a privileged view of what's going on and I want police and this is going to be going to be telling us yeah no hugging tonight. 808-590-9693 if you'd like to join in our conversation then through free pick up the phone give us a cool and if you like you can drop us an e-mail to up all night B.B.C.

Work all the. Final. 70 stats speak a little bit for. Last night's game 2 shots on goal for. The one. Which was selected. And that's all I think told girls. Sure about 6060 percent but. Certainly a wonderful. Month. Nestle to. As a team and a country that's been said potential to win this tournament many times since there are any previous success in 1980 going the balance of the month deservedly take the trophy but it's the final result was not the greatest match have had come Sinegal must. Lead to shots and soggy Why didn't yeah it was. So nice sudden icicle cheeping. I think. There's a really good says the goalkeeper I simply was was man of the match the Algerian goalkeeper there was. I wouldn't say clinical opportunities for the for the Senegalese study of mine it was ready. A freshers' of attention from him so it was a very good bottling up job with the old Syrian stood. Astride of the Senegalese quite a bit of a little bit of a stop start game which took them out of a rhythm but I think. You know if you look at the cold our statistics certainly this was a game that sentiment deserved to win but never really. came close to equalizing else to giving away that it eagle it was sort of like you on the goal without really being old a prize it's lunch opens i'm please a sentence yeah it does some please is say ard she can take most joins us now i'm a him is he just is is we speak when i'm in cairo much lights tomorrow afternoon at 2 30 pm so give us is sensitive how much pod seeing his been done by fans where us yeah i we went to satirise square which is the center of cairo just after the match any it was flooded with algerian fans at least a couple 100 there were really a lot's take photos and star for it's still a sensitive area an egypt that but and definitely a lot of parting outside of the stadium in and in some of the key areas in the city as well but mostly just 2nd our phones as well and to seeing the parties every were else or on the world of sand montreal a paris london all jurors yeah pretty much everywhere sink you had this cringe book a genius moment to goes sane the the the final was an exterior milly dull madge in that with a ring way the he does with would you concur own none yeah absolutely can cry can growth everything markley singh says he's a legs in of african football journalism but it was definitely a dull a dull match and as you heard him talk about but fact that son of go resort of knocking on the door without ever really threatening and because bo money talked about then a post much press conference to send something along the lines of them you said we were a very well organized and we did you have as much possession of the ball as we won it but it was sort of his game plan so not press high any and so certain a sort of makes on a goal break them down he sighed they didn't have the create 7 seats a do that's so i don't think i'll geria was ever really threat ensuing much there were a few clear cut chances but they did a really good job or breaking play i i saw statistic that we reached i would the once every 3 Minutes. So that gives you a kind of idea of what kind of match it was if the champions of South America the generations of Africa. I think Brazil would win but this is a question I'm going to ask both of them in the past because this has been something of an obsession for me ever since watching Morocco in the World Cup of 86 I didn't see the guy my fortune on T.V. Over here and so I was on some coming tonight screen streaming thing but just reading about it and what both of you told us about it. Selloff when the sides I find them frustrating because I look at them I think they're so technically gifted in a couple of so much more but sometimes you know this kind of I don't want to play is there any do you come away even in victory may here do you come away from this final thinking it will be nicer to be remembered for how we won it in the final that we could have done we could have done more or is the fact a victory in itself enough honestly we're in now victory is more than enough it's been 29 years since we've been so a Cup of Nations final and it really means so much so it's everybody and. Considering the year we've had politically everything's been very unstable hasn't been really easy people haven't really been able to plan their lives and not everything so this really means a lot so I'll join people so the court said that is why I said he told me the match would have unfolded the way it did I would have been you're our mark for that result but I do get your points what kind of temper is is that earlier on in the competition out there are playing someone in the tournament so we did show that side of what we can do but you know I think finals in general are very very tense and K.G. It's very rare I think that you have a nice long magical final. Answer a question I think I'll definitely take it for now his mother cried to say you're good he was man of the match. It was yeah that's a ban on I think you deserved I mean you know as journalists we get to see a lot of replacing in a stadium so some of the saves about we're television saved but he certainly ballasts an exaggerated a bit there saying that he should have made but you had He's always been great in tournaments he was great at both World Cups and I lot of different combinations so hats off to Rice somebody 33 years old and probably the best goalkeeper were had you know during football history Pete in the West Midlands says Could the panel suggest good football books food me I have the miracle of Casto design grow but could do with some of the recommendations from my trip to North Africa Marg North African football could you recommend one for Pete in the West Midlands and there's a very good book on actually useful but you know a whole key he works for The Sunday Times and in London. Something's been out since 2010 so it's a great it's a great collection of different stories about the different regions of Africa. So that's probably the best of the last in terms of getting a good comprehensive look. You know it's particularly you don't really know much about everyone focal a chapter in Algeria particularly is very good it's the only decent one in English and some great books in French short. Period for Paul's and particularly they. Are in the 1st Algeria national So at the time at the time of liberation the independence struggle and the players who actually used to play for France I mean there's a mile so use if I was ill Terry and it was a huge place in France of the World Cup with a concern 1st of all who gave up that opportunity to go and play for the. Team of the of the Liberation Army of the wheelchair is that a lot of exhibition games across the world trying to. Radio You know the cause of a. Lot of players game professional career is trying to play so that. We can hear the sounds. I grab could you. Could you recommend a book. Double marks recommendation in Iraq and how his book is is really really gets you know the communion for a more general average in books in English like African soccer escapes by Dr Peter like he is a story in a Michigan State University nearly ties together like how the game spread economically and it was a book I think some Numsa called Africa United most of these books I think him out just before South Africa hosted the 2007 World Cup And and it doesn't kind of a similar thing as to the chameleon is sort of tell stories in different parts of the continent and that sort of helps you get an image of what football is like in Africa but to be honest I don't think there's many great books on North Africa in English I can't think of any other top of my head I suppose there in French although. Yeah exactly there's a lot in French There's one book for example. Had I had chased it for so long I'd only heard about it it's called. By then so it's talking about the same. Liberation Army it seemed Mark was talking about a 2nd ago and I couldn't find it on Amazon it couldn't find it on e Bay I couldn't find it in chapters in Canada or anywhere else really and sure enough I go and see this dusty shop in Algiers one day and I asked for it and the guy has. Not exaggerating his books from the floor to the ceiling. Like his store was maybe like 10 or 15 metres squared and his books from the sorts of the ceiling everywhere hesitatingly like sort of swims into his books and hands it to me and that has become like my reference point for the whole period of time because it's really really great work by some of the erstwhile here and you're in with one of our listeners says he would be proud. Yet he's all he's born in Algeria he's born in Algiers and Miss Lee said. Every single I know about morality and the duty of men I learned from football so used to be a goalkeeper for a club in Algeria sorts of her closest to his career sure so I think he would be proud of the any purpose even a company like I think a little bit like an outsider in this how do you and how you gonna hang. Friend say one friend. And then it was just it was you know this is we come in. Do have a question though I do have a confirmed full for both of the lads about this this tournament for my his benefit a boot. An idea where does this tournament leave the African teams in terms of the next well cup. The sides have done well willing now going the Lie down because of the I.E. Tour all they building towards the next World Cup which sides here who do you imagine a movie in the right direction towards Qatar. Modeler Mark. Thanks thanks I think I think it's a really it's been a really good tournament. By by previous Nations Cup standards we've already had some dollar too it was a bit you know it was a bit of a mistake and in terms of the fact that it was now in clay for the 1st silent in the northern hemisphere summer. And you're looking at players going into the tournament. At the end of long seasons and this one particularly looking at the marquee players of African football going into the tournament at the end of incredibly long seasons man and son. From Liverpool a member a big factor so their teams of course Maurice of mess of fact as well Jerry at the end of a long sit season Man City of a not playing in any way anywhere as much football or soccer or monitored so it was a lot of question marks about you know whether this was going to just be another pretty dull football expression menu expand the thought of a 24 year low the potential for more mediocrity in you so I think overall it's actually been surprisingly good in in the same way that the European Championship in France was so you know so refreshing the spite all the fears of that too would be a little water done with Iceland Northern Ireland and Wales exception you know that they also ever look at a sparks like we've had we've had that element but to ASA Jim's question. I think there's there's enough positives to suggest that you know the soldier inside could go on and do something in caps or there's a hope the fact that you can throw into that the coach's great experience of working there I think you know on the back of what they did in Brazil in 2014 a lot of the soldiers side model of Pete a little earlier but it is also there's a lot of new fresh elements in the team very exciting. I think Morocco despite the. Yet again it got. Some legs and then you know there's this slew of young talent there an awful experience places to push on and then you got to have your 7 goals in your life here is God as Except always knocking at the door but whether Africa is going to have a better choice than that in Russia or I think this is for sure we cannot get any worse than we did in Russia and with. Africa is going to really push on wouldn't provide a you know topless course armistice if I was I was so sure you know I'm not sure we are anything in that just yet but just on that point. Francophile Africans go to the edge is need to be honest and to be fair and Senate governs Nigeria in the Africa Cup of Nations they're the ones that really rule Africa. Well you know I think that Nigerians. Much argue that the Egyptians you know speak much French might argue that I think I think substance is perhaps more geographical Geographic then language based but you know that they certainly have a little bit of an edge at the moment but I wouldn't say they rule the roost certainly not historically and certainly not potential allies but this this tournament in Egypt I think that the way it should it was it was a really exciting Algerian side that won when it was a really good Senegalese side that were close to winning maybe you say you don't disagree with anything the African football says but you might want to disagree on this point is he right when he says. The French French African is they know that good then oh they recommend you know I mean I mean he said well it's not a phase anyway yeah you're misconstruing this point there he said it was more regional based I tend cigarette think the power poles and Africa are in North Africa and West Africa south they're not bad but in the east are kind of lagging behind but it's mostly north and west but. Sort of quickly touch on question are. Easy when we party and look here. Do you reverse the charges. We stand together in silence. For you. May you are back yet I don't know where I went but. Yeah I just pick up where I left off yet feel free yeah I was just saying I think 3 of the force I mean finalist I think Nigeria have a quite young midfield Aleksey will be. Great in D.T. And Peter a typo I thought were really really good and good not really has used that excuse of well rejuvenated our side before but I think they could take towards the World Cup 2022 I'll surely have 2 or 3 very exciting young talents Melba Nasr as just been named man of the tournament he's a much older that place for employee used to play for Arsenal and now he's going to be signing with Milan probably tomorrow after tomorrow so he completes his medical and then trying to go Of course I think we'll be picking around that time as well except electricity on my knees my lists are all growing into their own elements. Talking of all snow ever to be going. Yeah I'm really Whiting full here is is the club Everton to discover Brazilian player called Arsenal. Even out you know because it's going to be very very confusing but a common sight and probably. When those school insults and these 2 guys kind of move from Trinidad and I swear they were both cool have it's and we have a lot of those days where you never knew what. You'll quit Woodson as well. It was just going to George Foreman they re of naming all even kids after yourself in order to. Get the best I ever turned he was the breakout star of the copper America. When he was right footed but the great thing about him. He's got both feet . He was the joint top scorer of the copper America all the 3 goals he scored were cutting you know too strong a right for a place to go outside the fullback and pulley across a left foot as well $23.00 so not a kid thing both sides in a game he's been on the bench for for a fair amount of time and there's just one of those stories you know is like a butterfly flapping its wings and changing the whole weather formation is one of those stories where we've ever seen because any place where it's the still a moment with Gremio in Brazil and last year the the semifinal of the copper limited audience it's Gremio against river polite Gremio and nearly home and dry and he's put behind a defensive line is one on one with a goalkeeper if he scores Gremio have won there through he misses the goalkeeper and in the last few minutes reply I got the other end and scored 2 goals and I go to that they go through to the final had ever since scored that goal then we wouldn't have had the final of the limited orders between bucket and river plight we wouldn't have had all that violence outside the Rogue River plights to stadium the that the fine of the laboratories wouldn't have been taken to Madrid controversially this extra copy America that we've got next year Argentina wouldn't need to stage that in order to try and wipe the slate clean as they launch their bid for the 2030 woke up together with your a quite chilly in Paraguay that 2020 World Cup America almost certainly have gone to the United States just like the 26001 did for financial reasons and that would enhance the relationship between my region and John on which region they're in North and Central America so all of that because Everton missed the one on one with the goalkeeper so he's ninety's and he's known as that as a little onion but it's similarity with a cartoon character who has got a very large head in a few wisps of hair and that's a lovely. To the in the Onion story you might find his cries well from time to time ability to today as a precaution isn't it. Yeah but I had the School of that goal being to I want to moment a goalkeeper free schools that goal the entire history of the i'm could be different and we could have a copy American United States next year as opposed to a bizarre one divided between Argentina and Colombia talking of when you can you can you for. Is the right answer because you are talking live to kind of. Here just a few days ago he told me to choose my poison. Yeah. Yeah the timing of the tournament Well yes Mark 1st of all I know a mind for that we can lose you know he had to go but your party. As far as the timing of this company issues is concerned that some techs who are ready and asking about how knackered football is in the Premier League are going to be saw your money not least. When I mention that to my hear the other day he was not sure the impressed and said choose your poison when you will we have in January you don't complain when we have in this plane which poisons you choose. From from an effort your focus for this time you know I think this. Is the. Cup that could become the next go since you could know the show because of the time . Because the times only can overshadow the cup American I think it's somewhat at least in the European markets that they should Cup It grows on you're a sport except for so Scott it's got wheels are so out of the content but I think I think the most important thing is for the players or the players themselves or the likes it not to have the pressure of all those wingy coaches who manages when they go off in January and of course in the middle of a club seasons to abandon their you know they clubs a gun play for the national teams the pressure on those players over the last few additions has grown immensely have seen many of them now you know the full blown 2017 was a classic example. Good for country which is something you should never ask a player to do and now they don't have to so they might be neck at the end of the season the football might not be as great are so close that was the famous French coaches had a great career in African Sokol among the fact that you know they were tired it wasn't as great as it could have been but on the other hand I think the players themselves if you if you do the straw poll and were absolutely thrilled that they no longer have to make choices that they were forced to be every 2 years. It's outside they're going to be the beginning of next season for us my very quickly how tired or how neck it is the world our listener is Manet how Next is the Nigeria destroyer Riyad Mer is. A colleague over at the B.B.C. Jon Benet He actually calculated that you know my new season this year was 363 days and I think you counted from last season's last season's pre-season until today which is you know a crazy amount for a player or any player really but especially a player that's so relied on to do so much for club and country so I think it is definitely I think going to affect his play for Liverpool next year I don't see how it couldn't. It doesn't even have to Billy's pre-season preparations and I think that'll carry over into the early months of the season Maurice not so much because you know he wasn't as relied upon I mean I mentioned city and have different options but I think for players like mine it could have an effect and just a final point you said you know what charm is it's a way of getting the on say yes without having on asked any clear question. Some degree you know. And it will have a go read the mark. Jury and bolt footballing philosophy OK Tim Who do you reckon prevention. That's my guess I should think as a. Camel. Didn't. Is the Algerian. Well. They're not. Here it's been a pleasure go to enjoy your pausing for.

The employer is amazing this is a really tough place many people think. And I just think if you're a really good fit for the Premier League I just wanted to know what and also be about that because to me one of the hidden gems really in South America. Possible You know when he started as a striker. In time you it's kind of he's moved back to a kind of attacking right back. That makes sense because his great virtue is there is the the pace and the explosion the he has. So you know you put him in a fullback and you give in that corridor in which you know in which to explode. He does that extremely well he did really struggle in the group game when they played Brazil and I presume twice I played him in the final and lost 31 in the group they went went down 5 nil and he really struggled there with the tricky wingers. Worry about him is as as a kind of converted striker and as for a fullback. And if you look at him the build is a little bit like for people who don't know him the build is a little bit like the former Brazil fullback Mike on you know a big strapping fella so he's got that explosion but it doesn't mean I think that he can struggle against. US So I agree with you I think there is a gem there and I think he could be could play in the Premier League only he's been around these Portugal and so on I think he could play in the Premier League but you probably wouldn't want him what want to play him in every guy maybe sometimes you might even even experiment with him you know in a wide midfield position rather than fullback because I think sometimes because of his size and the lack of defensive back ground against the really tricky wingers I think he can be found out but apply with very useful physical capacity I'd like to see him score more goals to be honest I think even from fullback he has to get in the penalty area and score more goals are Peru Peru often play with or with a right winger now Katie often plays their player a spell we want food and I think there's a role there for. Keeping the pitch wide or and. These guys are not quite as many holes in the. Game. Plane climb wide I think there's a role for adding car to car into the penalty or I would like to see him shoot a goal more because I think he's going to mean him so he is going to mean him to be a fullback. With a kind of 5 tank of the season and please don't encourage him with the. Pathetic. Fashion but can resist anything apart from Sam Tyson. Once said what's it like you can prove. Crazy. For as a conscious fantastic every said Scott mountains. It's a fantastic country and. Yeah I lived there for a year really enjoyed it and tell me if this is a story because Tim has told us before that going to watch a football game in Peru he was like the Toulouse person then he was like I was and to Lima that specific that that's Alianza Lima on a Darby Di. Stadium pokey little streets around. Yeah it's very dangerous like to go to some of the stadiums. Yeah like I would only go with Koreans that really know what they were doing I went to a few spots in Crystal games I think it actually came from that. Is what I think it is one of the cities if you've got friends. Then you're all right to the old timing to go down. There I said you know the British embassy is a statue of Paddington in one of the parks on the car. Proving snow is now down in our British people I may say all we have this story and this bad a some people are asking for a nice marmalade. Yeah there are all of it. Yeah. Great speech thanks very much for calling up any time he said as more. You don't need to eat marmalade in Peru one of the delights about Peru is a quizzing fabulous fabulous for you donate it's become more known over the last 15 years or so but you know the 1st times I went it was looks like a secret like stumbling on this little secret wonderful causing me. To be the moment. Now for knowing what is going need you know if you go to Fiji why you know it mama light just because you're improve as we do the news. Because a fictional. See how many of your life decisions to buy start fictional characters. Thank you for all levels. From Chris Mitchell in Sydney B.B.C. 0. After his grows so quickly around the world in terms of coverage an interest but is the same true on the continent so he wanted the calf lead fief is. Help. 1st met Chris I think of one of the early missions cups and. Maybe a bikini I think 98 and 110 Sure. He's talking a little bit about the about the big administration move in the wake of all the scandals around the camp presidency is accused of stealing money and sex in the books and for leads it filling his expenses etc and he seems to strike a deal with fee for that they come in inverted commas all of the books and help the organization to run itself. Over the next from September through December over August to December in in a in a way I think it was the source save himself from from being from a March dollar positions but it's a it's the heart of the feel debate in African folklore at the moment and the picture is of sort of colonizing craft but the practicality is that I think. What happened officially is a cast of invited invited I think is very much in that it Camas to come in and help them but this is really just a ploy from the cast present to try save his position because the like there of him being. Getting you know being suspended for the allegations against the this committee are still very strong so we wait to see what happens there. But . It terms of the popularity of the tournament itself within Africa Chris is a racial question well it's the biggest sporting event on this continent but so far always has been he might be referring a little bit to the to the. To the lack of crowds at. The games that don't involve the host nations net 2 is a sort of the uniquely unique phenomenon I think to. Well I think you have the same a little bit in the cup America. But I mean here in Africa in most of the host countries you find that only the home team gets the crowd the rest of games are played to virtually empty stadiums that was the case at the tournament Egypt has been the case in many others and I think that's something that the Europeans always struggle it's because you know they they support that European Championship so well in terms of crowds but then you know it's. The religious text only. In Africa and I think in South America you call. The way you are able to move around in Europe that's that's one of the major reasons economic factors except But you know the Nations Cup is number one in Africa for sure. Is nothing of the stadiums I think is really interesting because you quite right I mean. Certainly on the Afghan every karaka for the last 20 years and 20 years ago no one troll nearly no one traveled to the copper America's so used to have a host kinds were full and everyone there were low Lots of going to copper Merican had more police in the stadium than the fans I've seen the continent get richer the the big change for me was the there was a copper in Argentina 8 years ago and the continent got richer the Colombia. We're traveling in numbers and suddenly you had a bit of an atmosphere in that set up really well on the last 2 World Cups the number of South Americans who traveled I think for the World Cup so low South Americans have been us by system and have a bit more money but I travel in huge numbers and and live this copper that we don't we just had on the average crowds despite the fact that the ticket prices were too expensive and there were problems with actually getting the tickets and the logistics of getting hold of your ticket was a bit complicated the I think the average crowd was over 30000 now there were some some empty stadiums but we are still in comparison with 20 years ago that's extraordinary progress is there any sign of Africa getting richer and having more travelling support can you see the dynamic happening there yeah absolutely I mean file is a great example it was there there were styles of Algerians that came in there was a sort of a corridor or a fly Corps opened up between Algeria and Egypt they came in military planes commercial place especially there was a lot of wealthy charter is coming in but there is a big element to a little Sheeran's based in in Europe. And they were they were there on mess they were there were many said obviously coming towards the end of the file once the team was looking in the to play with this not that. European element of getting in the car you know the well for example at the last European travel Schickel the Irish Traditional that Danes getting in the car crossing the ferry and going. And sort of making a little bit of a holiday of it so I think in this case it's the same with the problem as you describe it which. People you will see are there's a lot of the immigrant communities as well the expressions around the world with with money and coming back to sort of support the team in the key semifinals. Final Stage was a decent crowd for the final. Yesterday which contrasted it's one of those scenes finals with the host nation went to work involved for you know for the last 2 weeks of the tournament I think the last time I saw that phenomenon was back in 94 intimacy and that stadium for the final between Nigerians and there was absolutely Brown that. We conscript just bust into to try and create an element of the crowd so she's come and. We did a cheerful Well just at the source. And behaved themselves like they were you know like they were sort of almost the tension in the crowd but yeah when we come on as well in Africa perhaps not as dramatically as paints the picture sort of thing. Where we're going in that same direction Jilani he's been waiting patiently New Jersey to come on Hello gentlemen. You're good thanks goodness we did. And it was victory to get you where you know me you know. Put the ball on a pair we saw for Gleason You know he doesn't miss from a right stance is a little selfish. That's where you look at. The let me just list just missed the 1st. Half or. 3 pound was able to count he's got a good excuse to. Go and I do not he will use me and so I have a question for Tim after Brazil Copa America when I get the feeling. On Twitter. Brazilian fans you know I was happy and stuff but I think they were saying Brazil no longer needed the team and the when they were stronger with. So you know I was wondering is this feeling here or is it like simply it might already I mean obviously. See for the. Balance of the team was better and you know without Neymar you know I don't but that could just be a correlation rather than you know so. Yeah. I'm so happy that's the 1st time we've already had a you had I mentioned. For America. For America. Like do the Americans I don't know that they refer to the Brazilian published Scientologists are not science or some are and I don't know why but they do it and yeah yeah. Yeah I mean one of the bad things from the point of view of the OP America as a spectacle is that Brazil didn't have to face either year ago or Colombia you look at the 2 teams who really could have pushed them and it was your one in Colombia both of whom went out of the quarter finals on penalties afternoon which are on your wire massacred Perot and kept on talking goes away from the man in Peru at a decent opportunity meantime 90 minutes. So in that sense. The easy way and they were overwhelming favorite scene every game that they played including the semifinal against Argentina in Argentina very much in in transition at the moment even so at home strong favorites there were times when the 1st goal really suffered they really had problems getting a 1st go and they held Neil Neil by Venezuela in the group phase and held nil nil by Paraguayan me in the quarter finals and he went to penalties imagine how they lost a penalty shoot out. Which could happen you know in a penalty shootout was close and it is you know it's it's $5050.00 for either side to imagine how they lost to Paraguay no one would have would have made those conclusions that. Heard. Made on had they gone out in a penalty shoot out which could have happened it would all be in we really need one more in between we really need more in the team Personally I think Neymar is is less of a solution and more less of a problem or more of a solution. I think that there is a different name from his public perception and he's got himself to blame for this and he does come across as a spoiled brat but you know you talk to people who play with the move played with him and then he got good things to say about him and it it's indicative I think that even though like the Barcelona members don't really want him back because they feel betrayed they know the cattle and priorities be tried but the fact that he left them the big voices in the dressing room really wants him back because either they sense that he could make that same stronger and I think that that's the case with Brazil as well on if you look at the team that ended the copper America the position that I think is most vulnerable when Neymar comes back and he will come back is that of coaching you know which means that there could be a Neymar playing less on the wing coming in from the wing and more in in a kind of central role more in contact with the ball perhaps closer to. The opposing goal be certain he will come back in terms of his perception which is part of the question I VERY No I don't really think I remember any football as divisive as Neymar both in Brazil and outside part of this is a generational split I think on Neymar is such a symbol of a younger generation a younger social media generation if you like he communicates extremely well with his. Demographic and extremely badly with with everyone else and he's at ease like an eternal adolescence He's like a little bit like a spoiled brat I think part of his thing about trying to get away from Paris and Germany is he Everything has to be now you know there is absolutely no patience he's grown up in a world that gives him instant solutions so he's going to Paris St Germain hasn't really worked he wants rather than knocking down unlikely work he wants out now and he does come across as very a very very irritating to those especially to those who are older I know Brazilian journalists some of them really hate him they won't they wouldn't say that publicly but you know behind the scenes of his own name obvious name or that name or the other but also I know people who know him and know their works but they won't have a bad word against him but I think the footballing side of this though is that he's definitely going to come back east too good to be ignored and there were times in the copper America where Brazil definitely missed him so I think he'll be back we are approaching now at the absolute key stage of his career because I mean it's strange to think about this but he's well on the way towards being $28.00 now so it's kind of stand and deliver time now it's not his fault he's been injured and he only played one knockout game in the Champions League for Paris and to man it's the fault of people who found him not not his fault. Although having said that the 2nd injury did pick up showboating a long way from goalie was no need to do that keep the ball moving that's something that he has he has to learn and Darn I think that there is this is forgotten I think in all the controversy that surrounds him there is a fantastic football of air in all of our interests to see him back on the field showing the wonderful ability because he can do things that no one else in the world is. Doing so and he certainly has a club future somewhere and he certainly has a future with the Brazilian national team as I say the position is most vulnerable I think at the moment is funny because he would no more playing centrally Yabu their journey. A lot. But in Nigeria all ya doing I'm going to. Tell you how do you know. I'm gonna. Come. Genuinely I went. Looking for some decent job. And offer you guys you don't spice up you know and say the purple so to buy normal by the way we didn't say pepper in West Africa we say. You know take the pepper I can't I can't say you have to go to Lagos for that because you come finding God. It's a pleasure we can kind of about rivalry I'm not going to let it go and I know you want to. Thank you very much pleasure 5 know there 9693 cracking a question for you both in a moment Chris. Why was it was the most embarrassing or hilarious shameful bit of promotional promotional work done by a current or former player yeah we'll get. The news that banks like school it's the this is B.B.C. Radio 5 Live it's 3 o'clock Good morning this is. My news on 5 Live the U.K. Warns of serious consequences if Iran doesn't release a British oil tanker a Maori has a share of the lead after the 2nd round of the open but what we might call it misses the. Base is B.B.C. 5 with the B.B.C. News on 5 Live his pool here and the foreign secretary says Iran seizing a British tank in the Gulf is completely unacceptable Jeremy Hunt's been meeting with the government's emergency committee Culebra He says the U.K. Is not looking at military options but that it will respond robustly if the ship is not released. Is the chief executive of the U.K. Chamber of shipping. What we would urge is the escalation the situation is treat you know what it is and we would ask the authorities to do whatever they can to secure the swift and safe release all the best will and it say there's going to its government consider whatever measures are necessary to restore confidence and security Iran claims the tanker broke international maritime Rose which is only denies autocratic correspondent is James Robinson this comes at a time of course of maximum pressure on all sides a time I have to say of tension to within that all my listening. To this is making sense yet. Ah. Until May he. Was merely. So this is Wolf we will phone in on our. African South American pleasure playing in our leagues we've got the spring book. Doesn't go the ledge did a victory with us and we'll get to the calls in a moment of 808-590-9693 the number to call if you lied to join in if you go a question or comment on the region a pleasure I did here a couple of times it's not all that. Frequently plate but that's that's one that does really come to mind I mean the field has been narrowed. If you say it was Chris from Waikiki Yes it Chris Wragge. Even aired it. Because I think politically some of the you know some of the things people like Samuel get into in their home country socially themselves are the regime they're all. Very shameful and and increasingly embarrassing and fulfill players who have the potential to be such. A good example to society and you know stand on the side or on the side of rights I think even Didier Drogba now was getting involved in this case for it seems a sort of a. Special Ambassador or special advisor and you think you know what do you as a distinguished African sort of obviously financially independent what you need to go and associate yourself. With this regime for when you know you you patently don't need the money and you're really making you're really doing your own reputation and position in African society no good whatsoever so for she those the situations exist but that's not. The do not qualify as ours is not only mother picked that are scored today at the at the at the final at the at the handover ceremony. And that to scrimmage Willian embarrassing.
