Saints are to host another friendly at SMS before the Athletic Club game, oppostion will be Espanyol and the game is on the 3rd August.
What’s more tickets are free if you buy a ticket for the Bilbao game, member and ST holders will pay as little as £8 for both games (thanks to Virgin Media!!)
I don’t want to labour the point (OK, I do), but I wonder if his language, accent and calm - some would say soporific delivery, is what we need.
Even though Poch couldn’t speak the language he was lively and demonstrative.
Also, when he says ‘important’ lots of times at the beginning of the interview, try NOT thinking of Sellers’ Inspector Clouseau. (It’s OK I have lots of French friends).
Puel clinches his fists as he describes Wenger’s touchline aggression but says that his old mentor had a remarkable ability to settle his emotions even amid moments of great stress.
“In the game he can be after his player, the referee, many things and, five minutes later, he has this ability to stay calm, quiet, and to answer very slowly, with the ability to have a good feeling of the players, the opponent, the game, and to give a good reflection,” he says.
“I am a little the same because on the pitch or just near the pitch I am very active and after I am quiet, calm, and I can answer and take a moment to analyse.”
Now were you to make it to St Marys to actually watch a game you would probably see this…
