Roberto Di Matteo Part I: How to win the Champions League, and other stories
Hola Big Interview listeners!You have been telling us about their favourite Big Interviews from our archive. Here’s another classic.Twelve months ago I spent an entertaining couple of hours with Roberto Di Matteo . Robbie came ready to talk and he brought insight, analysis, great stories and plenty of laughs. You’ll hear him reflect on the glory era of Serie A, where he was part of a swashbuckling Lazio side who scored goals for fun and should have won the trophies to back up their talent. Robbie is brilliant on his time at Chelsea under Ruud Gullit. At Stamford Bridge, he added goals to his game and medals to his collection. There were famous goals – not least in the FA Cup final against Middelsbrough – and sexy football under the charismatic Gullit. I hope you enjoy this as much as I did.Graham Hosted on Acast.
