Summary
FROM THE VAULT: In this clip, Joe Cole joins the lads to reflect on the ruthless standards set by Jose Mourinho during Chelsea’s glory years, including the brutal lesson he learned after facing Ronaldinho and Barcelona at the Nou Camp. Joe opens up on Mourinho’s obsession with tactical discipline, the fear factor inside the dressing room, and the savage man-management techniques that kept Chelsea’s squad on edge. The former England international also shares hilarious stories from his first ever England call-up at just 18 years old, including meeting legends like David Beckham, Paul Scholes and Tony Adams, as well as witnessing Kevin Keegan resign after England’s defeat to Germany at the old Wembley. Elsewhere, Joe breaks down one of football’s most painful and underappreciated jobs — being the designated “charger” in the wall — and why taking a free-kick to the face was sometimes the easy option.
