We’re getting tough on this week’s episode of the pod as Kyle and Browny chat about physicality. Kyle reveals which two Tottenham midfielders used to have bone crunching tackles in training, what is Pep Guardiola’s go-to-skill on the training field and which other Premier League boss still had it when he joined in with the lads.
Browny rates the toughest tacklers he faced in his era, Kyle compares Arsenal’s Myles Lewis-Skelly to a former team-mate and explains why Virgil van Dijk rarely needs to go to ground. They also discuss how things can get a bit tasty in a match between starters and non-starters before a game and if players ever tried to injure a team-mate in order to get themselves into the manager’s eleven.
Kyle also names the player he’s found most difficult to mark during his career - and it’s not Mbappe, Vinicius Jr or Neymar. He pays tribute to Manchester City 3rd keeper Scott Carson and did Browny really ask for his own hotel room so he could prepare properly for that Tottenham v Milan legends game?
Don’t forget to check out Kyle and Browny’s Q&A episodes, exclusively on BBC Sounds. In the latest episode, England legend Ashley Cole asks Kyle who is the toughest left back he’s come up against.
