✍️ RISE OF THE BASQUE COUNTRY ✍️ 🏡 The Basque Country has produced several of the world's best players over the years despite its 3 million population 🌍 A region which straddles Spain and France, it is home to a number of successful clubs, some of whom implement strict player recruitment policies 📜 Athletic Club's rhyming motto is: 'Con cantera y aficion, no hace falta importacion', which means 'With our home-grown academy and local fans, there’s no need for imports' ✅ Here are just some of the region's success stories ⚪️🔴 ATHLETIC CLUB: Iñaki Williams, Nico Williams, Andoni Iraola, Unai Simón, Aymeric Laporte, Kepa Arrizabalaga, Fernando Llorente, Iker Muniain, Aritz Aduriz, Aitor Karanka 🔵⚪️ REAL SOCIEDAD: Txiki Begiristain, Xabi Alonso, Martin Zubimendi, Mikel Oyarzabal, Antoine Griezmann, Asier Illarramendi 🔴🔵 OSASUNA: Mikel Merino, César Azpilicueta, Nacho Monreal, Javi Martínez 🇪🇸🇫🇷 OTHER: Gaizka Mendieta, Didier Deschamps, Bixente Lizarazu, Mikel Arteta, Andoni Zubizarreta, Ander Herrera ✈️ FourFourTwo's @edmccambridge visited each of the big Basque Country clubs to find out how they do it 📚 Story: fourfourtwo.com/features/rise-…

🍿 Netflix and Thrill: The inside story of Sunderland and the streaming drama that ended happily ever after 👀 "It was like being in Big Brother, you never felt comfortable, it was a bit of an issue for us" 🚪 "Players told me directly they didn’t want to be there. They were going through the motions, hoping their agents could sort a move” 😡 Charlie Methven to FFT: “The series is totally incidental if you’re serious about football" 🙈 Why Netflix will kick itself for stopping at Season Three 👉 Full story: fourfourtwo.com/features/netfl… 📚 @edmccambridge | SAFC

🕵️‍♂️ In 2016, Thomas Frank's management of Danish club Brøndby was heavily criticised on an online forum. 💻 An account by the name of 'Oscar' called for a change of coach, citing Frank's inability to integrate new players and lack of authority. 😳 It was revealed Frank's critic was none other than Brøndby chairman Jan Bech Andersen, posting on the forum under a pseudonym. ❌ Feeling betrayed, Frank left the Superliga club, which set in motion the sequence of events that led to him becoming Brentford's, and now Tottenham, manager. 👉 Full story: fourfourtwo.com/features/thoma… 📚 @edmccambridge | #THFC

Stuttgart were impressive going forward last season and Nick Woltemade’s maverick displays were a big part of that. I wrote about it for the Bundesliga. Not sure Newcastle are getting a proper No.9 but he’s easy on the eye and a lot of fun. ⚫️⚪️ #NUFC bundesliga.com/en/bundesliga/…

In the new @FourFourTwo, I retrace Spurs gaffer Thomas Frank's career with those who know him... From almost quitting as a youth coach and a stunning fallout with his chairman at Brondby, to the Champions League via heroics at Brentford. 🇩🇰🚀 ➡️ fourfourtwo.com/blogs/new-issu…

I also sat down for a chat with former Bayern Munich, Manchester United and England midfielder Owen Hargreaves. We covered his entire club and international career, winning England fans round, that brilliant Manchester United team, and one infuriating meeting with Cherie Blair.
