Those involved in football are used to mouthing platitudes rather than engaging in discussion, but when you can slip under that shield, even for a brief interview, the results can be illuminating. Being multilingual gave the author the edge when tracking down both players and managers and the short profiles all seek to throw a light on what it is that makes these individuals tick. Lively and very engaging even, I suspect, for non-football lovers!
