Okay so first part talks about family and Ying Yang between mum and dad and them passing on their values on him. Dad was very harsh, mum was very kind. Then abuse at West Ham. Then talks a bit about becoming a man at Chelsea and breaking a dependency on dad and his approval. https://twitter.com/socratis26/status/1305822974818357249
Then moves on about talking about his successes as the player what he was driven by, admits he did some wrong things, vaguely touches upon fucking over some managers, talks about working on himself and his own psychology but also work ethic.
Then moves on talking about him as a manager, a lot of time is spent talking about relationship in players, emphasises he looks for work ethic on the training pitch and positive attitude when you are out of the team. This is where I kind of sense he still hasnât full let go
Of himself as a player and isnât fully a manager yet. Seems to place a lot of emphasis on keeping everyone happy and is looking for balance between contentment and retaining an edge. Talks about element of luck in football.
Interesting little insight says heâs dropped a player they went onto lose and he went to a player and told him he shouldnât have dropped him - donât like this personally, but Iâm sure some will.
Thatâs as far as I got. Now onto what he looks in a player and in player recruitment. Will update this thread.
First assesses the squad and where improvements can be made, then looks at player profile, then considers what kind of team he wants to be and kind of football he wants to play and then talks about signing players that can help the rest of the team to become the team he wants.
Specifically mentions pace and intensity and says in year 2 he hopes to demonstrate what kind of team he wants to be. Training performance mentioned for the third time.
* player has to improve you
* improve direction of the team
* be a good person

âThey might want to play for Real Madrid in 4 years time, thatâs life. But when they come to Chelsea - want to work, be hungry and want to win. And not cause problems and not be badly selfish.â
Interesting, I like his pragmatism. No fetish over player loyalty like Twitter has.

Anticipates problems and wants him and his coaching staff to work harder, doesnât want to blame individuals wants to look at what he couldâve done better.
Laughs when asked about how to manage upwards and not get sacked like predecessors, ânot easyâ. For the first time I sense unease and a bit of dishonesty. Says he may say there is 2-3 year plan to the media because it sounds good but doesnât necessarily fully believe in it.
Talks about bouncing ideas off his wife (that you probably read this online).
Lockdown was a nice break from football.
Read about books about Guardiola.
Importance of being obsessive.
Importance of detail.
Work ethic importance, a 4th time.

Iâve not done it justice so just watch it or listen to it.
He finished it off with another mention of hard work/work ethic

Dannyâs terrible grammar strikes again sorry.
