There needs to be more stuff like this tbh, shows the human faces behind football. When you think about it other than on the pitch and the tedious post match interviews you actually don't see much of the players and their personalities. Sports journalism as a general rule is so poor and rumour based it's nice to see behind the scenes.
The hyperbole around football is generated by that vacuum with words like mercenary, traitor, hero etc. A more balanced and nuanced style of journalism needs to come to the fore.
