Thats all. So , if you want to get in touch, you know where to find me.69. Well, Okay dad. Got it. Bye-bye Annie. See you soon.70. Maybe. So longUnit 29.3 Section A John, you are professional broadcaster and journalist, and you are also very keen on football. When did that interest start? As a small boy, and I think you will find this is a common story all over the world, not just in England. My dad took me to a football match and I can remember being lifted over the turnstiles so in another words. I was so small that the man on the gate didnt want me to pay, or my dad to pay. So I was lifted over the turnstiles and taken into the stand. So right from that point onwards, I was hooked. And you used to play and what position did you play? I was a winger, a right winger, I was on the right wing. But you see today all those expressions have now gone, you are either striker or a mid-fielder or a back fore. In those days, I was an outside right. You mentioned memories of how the game used to be played and youve talked about how the game is played today. What are the differences? Amateur footballer, I dont think that has changed all that much, the professional game clearly has changed. And thats what Im concerned today. In another words, the game that I used to see as a school boy when take over the turnstiles and sitting in the stands. Thats changed enormously. In those days, of course, players werent paid much money. We didnt pay very much money to go into the game. But now, of course, players, as we all know are, paid enormous fees. And to get into the ground. You have to pay a lot of money. And for example, a programme today at any English league football match will probably cost you about 1.5 pounds. 1.5 pounds would given you a center stand seat in those early days when I was a school boy. So things have changed and its largely in the professional games a financial change, I would say. Clubs buy and sell players and on the strength of the players they buy and sell they either become a better club or indeed they get worse? Do you agree with the way money dictates how good a club can be? No, I dont. I dont like the way that money dictates football today. What I object to are the really big clubs. And this is not only confined to England, but its throughout Europe of course where very simply. . Because we are simple a very, very rich man, and fellow directors purl money into the club and say to the manager now go out to buy whoever you like. Now that to me is not what is all about. Sadly, its the way that football, that top football is going today. So the rich clubs are getting richer. And the poor clubs, not only are getting poorer, but many of them having to go out of the game altogether. Does all of this effect the game as a spectator sport, how it looks? Do you think thats changed at all? Yes. I do again, because, today particularly in what we now call the premier league, that was the first division, by and large the important thing now is to stay in that division and to survive effectively at any cost literally at any cost. That means that youve got to win. And to me it maybe perhaps be an old-fashioned view. But sport is not about necessarily winning, but its competing and if you lose occasionally, thats something that you must accommodate. Today, winning is crucial. Winning by one goal is all at matters. And so much of the flare and creativity has gone because there is so much a stake and that has definitely affected the game for the worse. What sort of training does a professional footballer undergo during a typical week? If you are playing a top club, then the training is going to be very intense. The manager or the coach will have observe the other team, come back with lots of notes and there will be lots of little plans about how to counter that man this man. Their long ball approach in another words, technique, tactics and thats what the whole thing will be about. Looking at the players for a moment. They seems to start very, very young. They become professional almost when theyve left school, dont they? They do, in fact, yes. And most clubs would tell you that the young players are the most important players because they are the future of the game. The potential is there. And so if you could get them the age of thirteen, fourteen or fifteen, then you could move them into the game you want to play. Whether it is the game they want to play its doesnt matter. Because again Im go back to the point that winning is all important and so much of that creative flare that you could saw in the early days that you saw in forties and fifties has gone. and I think thats very sad, indeed. What does a footballer do when he retires? Because they retire very young, maybe before there are 30 years old. In the past, many of them chose to stay in the game, perhaps on the training side, coaching side. There are courses that they can go on. That is not quite so true today. Largely because of the nature of the game. And also because I think players see the way the game is going and decide” no. there is no way” that I want to be part of management in football today. I wouldnt want to be a manager. And they often point out their own manager. Jokingly saying:” I wouldnt want to be like him and have has problems” so many of them leave the game. And many of them end up running pubs. Thats a popular in past time for footballers running the pubs. And also many of them use their sporting ability and work for sports organizations, selling shoes or sporting equipment or associating with golf clubs and things like that. Many of them try to stay with sports, but not necessarily football. Football of course is a team game, isnt it? However what we tend to hear about all the time are the individual the soccer stars our heroes on the football field. Is it difficult for a football player to learn not to be a personality, but to be a part of a team, do you think? It is, yes. Thats a very good question. And one that many clubs have never totally resolved. Obviously, managers want to encourage the individuals, but they also know that if they are going to those results that I spoke about earlier in other words, if they are going to win the game. Its g
