Lookman, Myanmar not Miami, and the Luck of Geography in Football (Ep. 238)

According to the Bible, "...time and chance happeneth to them all." This is especially true about talent recognition in football. It's one of the major reasons why many aspiring players either fall victim to scam offers or fail to make it to the big stage.


In this episode of the podcast, Rilwan Balogun joins us to discuss footballer education, and how the luck of time and geography influences talent recognition. We also review Ademola Lookman's move to Spain, Arsenal's title chances and coaches taking responsibility.
