Hello big interview listeners. Welcome to 2018. I hope it's going to be a happy successful year for you and one which every couple of weeks

we'll spend together enjoying the beauties of football. I want you to take the time to support us now by investing just

£2.99 per month and joining us for exclusive interviews and content only for members.

So to that end, here's what I reckon is a brief interesting extract

from my big interview with Roberto de Mateo. Robbie talks about taking over

Chelsea in March 2012 after the sacking of Andrei Vias Boas.

He describes the mixture of personalities as the most difficult dressing room he was ever

involved with as a player or manager.

But those personalities, that dressing room, held the key to historic success.

Here, he talks through the remarkable second leg of the last 16 tie in the Champions League against

Napoli and a nerve-sreading quarter-final win over

Benfica.

During the course of our 80-minute conversation in London just recently, Roberto shared two stories

he's never told before. He laughed uproariously, shed a tear,

no really he did, and gave his take on Chelsea's epic semi-final win over Barcelona plus that incredible night in Munich against

Biemunuch in the final. You'll love it but to hear it all it's time to become a

socio. Sign up now and you'll not only unlock the Robert De Mateo interview,

but also my conversations with Raffa Vandervart, Ledley King, Robbie Keene, Kevin Phillips and Germain de Foe.

Let me tell you now, these aren't just classy men who have achieved in the football pitch.

They talk wittily, interestingly, emotionally in depth about football, their lives, their attitudes and what made them great.
