I think this is something special about Italy; waking up, taking the coffee in the morning and talking only about football.
I have a lot of good football talk with cabbies, but when you want to get somewhere in a hurry, it can be distracting. I always know they're going to want to talk football if 'Talksport' is on the radio.
When I talk about football from a studio standpoint, I try to cut through the minutia and get to the point.
I can talk 10 hours about football. From the moment I leave home, I talk about football.
I still speak with David Silva. We have a personal relationship, and we talk about personal things, but we've not got into football that much.
I've had a great time making the transition from playing to talking about the game, and there is no better place to talk football than NFL Network.
It doesn't hurt to hear talk about the Spain national team.
I'd always wanted to do something about football, so I did the podcast.
I have never been at a club where the players talked so much about a previous manager as they did about Jose Mourinho at Inter Milan.
I'm not one of those football people who thinks and talks nothing but football.
I grew up in pubs so my whole thing is 'the game happened,' people would go into the pub afterwards and discuss 'it should have been a penalty, he should have scored that.'
