Name: Rodrigo Rodriguez

I’m a Diegos expert in: Counting the number of times managers say MENTALITY in interviews.  I know it’s a gift.

Favorite style of play: Anything to do with Lionel Messi when he is “scoring for fun”…Talk about the right MENTALITY

Football likes: Martin Tyler, big fan of the greatest commentator in the world

Football Dislikes: Second Legs, play one and be done with it! Jose doesn’t like first legs but it’s the second legs that confuse me….

Favorite player: Melissa Barbieri - she’s a keeper!

I once won: a scholarship from my primary school to put towards tuition for secondary school, the $20 came in handy….

Most memorable Diego moment: Interviewing Martin Tyler a number of times and the guy actually   knows who we are, that’s a buzz

My father once told me.....You will only succeed with the right MENTALITY

My mother once told me.....Your father always wanted to be coach

My coach once told me......Rodriguez, MENTALITY!!! Don’t you realize that MENTALLY you need the right MENTALITY to play this game, come back when you have the right MENTALITY! (I never went back)

Football person I would love to cook dinner for and what I would you cook? Carlos Hernandez, he looks a like a good guy and he doesn’t seem like a fussy eater!!!!

What message to the world would you write on your under garment? Assuming I have the right MENTALITY to expose my “undergarment” to the world – “Sven is my hero”.

Football memorabilia I'd like to own? The notes Diego Maradona’s psychiatrist made during his many sessions at the “MENTALITY ASYLUM”…He went there just before he became a coach…Interesting!

The player I channel when I take the field: Diego Maradona after he finished playing, if a guy can abuse his body the way he did and can still draw breath let alone coach Argentina, I can put up with a sore calf, groin, ankle, back, neck, shoulders and no talent….I’ll just need to adjust my MENTALITY

My preferred prong formation: It is all about the striker for me, ONE MASSIVE PRONG!

Love is ....rocking up to the studio late at night, totally shagged (tired), with the wrong MENTALITY, and doing the best football show in the world, well our world anyway…..
