The Asian Game – Episode 67

It’s an episode of new beginnings as we travel west to check in with new Al Jazira sporting director Mads Davidsen about the new direction he is helping implement at the club.

Plus we also speak with the new coach of J.League giants Urawa Reds, Spaniard Ricardo Rodriguez, to see how he is feeling about taking on the challenge of brining success back to Saitama Stadium.

And Scott & Paul discuss the decision to hold the centralised hubs for FIFA World Cup qualifying in the Gulf in June and July – the hottest months of the year. Is it a risk to player welfare?
