- Former England football manager Glen Hoddle talks about why he rarely selected Matt Le Tissier for his squad in international matches. Hoddle who managed England from 1996-1999 claims it was due to having Manchester United's midfielder Paul Scholes who kept Le Tissier out. #shorts #football #soccer #england
Credit to @footballsgreatestpod for the interview.
Don't use Scholes as an excuse. You picked Darren Anderton ahead of Tiss.
Anderton was a regular pick then in that era and had been for a while. If anything, he gambled on taking Owen as maybe his last pick for that squad so you could actually argue Owen took Tiss’ spot.
Anderton had work rate, when his legs worked
Anderton was a winger who could invert. Did Le Tiss ever play on the wing?
Who sicknote
@djmassey2 Anderton had a great understanding with Sherringham too.
Hoddle was a fool and a massive ego. He didn’t like mercurial players like Le Tissier and Gascoigne. Scholes was nothing to do with it.
It's funny because he himself was a 'mercurial' player not trusted by England managers.
@@ronniep9272 Excuse me but what does "mercurial" mean?
@@Durante_di_Alighiero unpredictable. A mercurial player is one with amazing skill who can do genius unpredictable things. In your country examples of mercurial players would be Roberto Baggio, Antonio Cassano, Del Piero. In England these types of players were always looked at suspiciously by coaches who preferred hard working players who run all day.
@@ronniep9272 Oh, now I see. Thank you.
Hoddle as a manager kept his arrogance as if still a player. He used to run round the training pitch belittling lesser players by showing how to play like a god. Obviously he still had the skill of a top top creative younger player, but expected all to be able to do what he could, and maybe didn't want to be outshone
Considering all the trophies England won, the explanation is perfectly logical.
Le Tissier was a fat arse by 98
Belgium have a squad of excellent talents better than Le Tissier and have won f ALL.
😂😂😂
What did matt le tissier win?
@@basicfilmblog I've seen you in every reply section without an actual formal comment about you ranting how shit le tissier is. If you have nothing better to do I suggest going outside touch grass and get a job
100 goals in 270 appearances for the Saints in the Premier League, whilst registering 64 assists
He was a great penalty taker. Not a great player.
@@basicfilmblogof course he wasn't 🙄
He was a great player but he was very lazy
@spanishpeaches2930 he wasn't. Having technique is not the only facet to being a great player.
@@basicfilmblog Don't be ridiculous. Southhampton built their team around him and he was responsible for them continually staying in the top flight. He was a great player.
He should have played him because football deserved to see Le Tissier on the World Stage.
If Le Tissier had been Brazilian, Argentinian, French or Italian he would've had over 100 caps
Baggio got about 50 caps for Italy and he was 10x the player Le Tissier was.
No he wouldn't of got in their fucking teams 😂😂😂
If your grandmother had wheels instead of feet, she would have been a bicycle
@@alexcolwill6691 and still the italy national manager didnt pick baggio for euro 96 either going with "runners" chiesa and casiraghi instead
No he wouldn't. He won nothing as a player and if you're not a winner and want to further your career, you don't deserve a place.
Didn't pick Le Tissier so that he could still play Scholes in the wrong position. Good job, Glen
He didn't play Scholes in the wrong position.
@bengibbs1318 no he didn't. He played him in the centre. Eriksen played him on the left.
Another person that doesnt understand football
He played Scholes in the right position. It was Sven that played him on the left to accommodate Gerrard and Lampard. 😊
@@bengibbs1318nope. He played scholes in the centre behind the 2 strikers. And left midfield was not wrong for scholes Alex Fergusson played him on the left whenever giggs was injured or susspended. Fergusson played Scholes in all the midfield positions and played him as a center forward at times.
Cough cough bullshit

How do you know
When was you england manager or a pro footballer?
Hoddle liked to be the man with the skills in England training even though he was manager. He knew Le Tissier would show him up
Exactly
That’s why you shouldn’t pick a ‘revered’ or ‘star’ as a manager. Too much ego, if you’ve been known your whole career as being one of the most skillful players to have come from England, and listening to every man and his dog telling you this, it’s very hard to deal with anyone stealing your glory
im a hoddle lover and a Spurs fan BUT this is BULLSHIT
BS!
He's gone on record in saying scholes is the best player he's ever coached
Played Scholes wide left.
He didn’t pick Tiss cos he snubbed him at Spurs and Chelsea when Hoddle was manager.
Wrong era mate
Tissier and Gascoigne were overweight fattys in 98 and you expect them to be better than Petit, Vieira and Zidane in 98
Hoddle played Scholes in the middle.
Sven played Scholes on the left! Not Hoddle!
@@theenforcer22 your mum usually goes in the middle
He picked David Batty and Paul Merson over Matt Le Tissier 🤦
Batty was a destroyer , completely different player so your comment is not really fair
Different positions
Watch the video and again and learn how to play amatuer
le tissier,, overweight, slow and lazy
@@LUFC123I'm a Man United fan through and through but I always respected the 'Batty Boy'.
Those battle between him and Incey are up there with Keane vs Viera.💪🏻💪🏾
Matt had no work ethic he admitted himself he just played for fun that's why he stayed at Southampton
You failed Glen. You failed. You had a player that had a similar style to your own (yes, Glen Hoddle was quite that talented footballer in his pomp) but you chose not to utilise his unique talents, similarly to what England did to you.
You, of all people, should have known how to harness Tissier’s IMMENSE, mercurial talents. 😢
Hoddle wasn't fit to lace Tissier's boots.
@@joebish6629Hoddle isn’t fit to smell a waft of Le Tissier’s farts
@@joebish6629he was, but you have to be the bigger man and let younger players have the opportunities that someone else gave you
Hoddle was a complete hypocrite and lies through his teeth to justify himself at every turn.
@@rorykeegan1895exactly
"I already had Paul Scholes"
And as every good manager knows, you only need one player per position, they never get injured, and you never need a dynamic goal scoring sub to come off the bench and change the game. Faultless logic.
Sarcasm isn’t funny
😂😂
Did you hear the whole thing? Le Tissier could only play in one position, doing one thing. He had Scholes as main, but rest assured there were others that would give him more than Matt as a whole. He only said Scholes to be polite.
Le Tissier only played one position. Over-weight penalty taker
Had vision and yet couldn't see that Le Tisser was a generational player who could have helped win England a trophy.
This man is a legend
English managers are so blind
He would’ve been a fantastic player to use from the bench. Consider what a fresh Le Tissier could do against a tired defense.
😂😂😂😂 no he wasn't.
Not as good a Paul tho 😂
You don't try and fit someone like Le Tissier in your system. You build a team around him. He could have got 100 caps and 50 goals for England and been one of the greatest of all time.
Hoddle was only manager for 2 years!
He wasn't better than Scholes. That's the point.
Not a chance.
@@timburns6423 Where did my post claim different?
@@mancauditor1001 You said "You don't try and fit someone like Le Tissier in your system." and then added:
"He could have got 100 caps and 50 goals for England and been one of the greatest of all time."
Not sure how that would happened in the 2 years Glen was manager.
Your turn 🙂
'I didn't want to have to many excellent, gifted players in the team, so I didnt even include him in the squad. Because I had vision' lmfao
Hoddle is a huge liar. Matt Le Tissier was a totally different player than scholes. You selected a lot of guys ahead of him. You had your reasons, but dont lie about it. Hoddle also threw Beckham under the bus and still lies about that too.
Remember when he said disabled people were being ‘punished for sins in a former life’? Hoddle is a clown.
yeah he was batshit!
I'll never forget what he said. I detest that guy.
@@gh-vi9tk Are you a cripple or something?
he's right
It's a Buddhist belief. So every Buddhist in England must be sacked ? So much for a first world country with a speech of freedom.
No. The reason hoddle didn’t play Letissier is the same he didn’t take gascoigne to the World Cup and why he told beckham he was crap at free kicks in training and showed him how he should do it.His own bruised ego when he dealt with another talented player.He never got over not being an England mainstay and everyone had to suffer for it.Something to do with dropping enough talent that people would question it and then the questions would be about why he wasn’t first name on the sheet in his time,why didn’t the world fall at his super talented feet.
Letissier is the most skillful English player of all time
“He could only play in one position” what is Hoddle talking about!!!!. No wonder his manager career dive-bombed! Matt could run past pretty much anyone and strike from outside the box. He just did it for fun and entertainment. Hoddle and him were contrasting personalities
That is an answer given with hindsight. Hoddle picked some absolute dross ahead of Tiss.
It’s criminal that le tissier never got a England cap.
he played EIGHT times. It is more likely that Le Tissier wasn't allowed a full game.
The way Hoddle threw Beckhsm under a bus when he was sent off against Argentina was outrageous ..
And that’s from me a Scotsman
One of the dumbest reasons ive ever heard. I didnt play a quality striker because I had a quality midfielder that could play anywhere. Like wtf are you talking about?
You've summed it up perfectly.
You know people are bullshit when they self proclaim having vision😂
And.............. That's why you have to pick a Squad and not just a team! You dropped Ray Parlour because he didn't buy into your Eileen Drury(spelling?) nonsense so please don't spout rubbish. You didn't play Le Tiss because he was simply a far better version of you!
Parlour, Le Tissier who else should have gone Ruddock?
@@theavengers01 okay
Scholes was amazing but it’s the same old England story. The manager sacrifices the best inform players for their own outdated systems and tactics.
Glen didn’t want anyone in the team who was better than Hoddle!
Glenn Hoddle who allegedly didnt let Mcmanaman and Fowler play because they made a sly remark towards his reiki chakra therapy or some other bullshit he made his players do. Like MAYBE you could see why he didnt pick Fowler, but Steve was world class at the time.
I agree. Not picking an on form Madrid star seems asinine.
I couldn't see a reason not to play Fowler
They clearly needed theoir chakras realigned

As usual Glenn Hoddle has the worst answers
No excuse!!! " His talent was simply out of the norm. He could simply dribble past seven or eight players but without speed - he just walked past them. For me he was sensational." (Xavi about Matt Le Tissier)
He wasn't international standard, he just walked around the pitch
@@theavengers01 Messi walks a lot too...
@@user-qg3qh8uz7l he also runs. Please don't compare Matt le tissier who was at best average to the greatest footballer of all time
@@basicfilmblognobody compared him to Maradona!
@@pale_saint Messi and Ronaldo are far superior to Maradona. Shut up
Could have easily taken Le Tiss instead of Paul Merson, who was well past it at this point. There's no excuse, Le Tiss was brilliant at that point and had been banging in goals for England B.
Yes, but Merson love listening to all the bullshit that Hoddle used to come out with with the faith healer and all that shit Merson kissed ass to get himself on the plane. Ray parlour asked for a short back and sides was never allowed in the squad again.
I do believe that Le Tissier was a great player. He won alone some matches for Southampton.
Nonsense. Scholes never played number 10 for England. He almost always was played out of position.
The more I learn about Hoddles attitude toward other players the more I understand how he squandered so many good international careers.
He didn't squander that many he was only in charge for 1 major tournament.
@@basicfilmblog Do you think players are always around and fit to be picked their whole careers? Some only have a small window when they’re in their prime and international tournaments dont happen every season.
@chilled99 le tissier wasn't good enough to go to an international tournament. 98 is one of the best performances from an England team at a world cup in the last 40 years. Had it not been for a terrible reffing decision from the ref and dissolving a perfectly legit goal we would of gone through. Hoddle was a fantastic England manager.
@@basicfilmblog We may have won it with the right squad.
@chilled99 we had the right squad. Football doesn't work like that champ. It's a game of fine margains and a player like le tiss was not made for top level football.
He knew Le Tiss could/would overshadow his legacy with goals and performances regardless of if they won a trophy or not.
“….because I had that vision.”
Mental that he still has such an ego and hasn't spent the time reflecting on what he could have done differently
ZERO VISION.
His only vision was with the ball, as a player.
He rejected Hoddle to go to Chelsea
That's the real reason.
It’s dumb. “Paul Scholes can play in so many positions…” so you couldn’t find any way to get him and Le Tissier in the same team?
Hoddle had a fucking ego problem. That’s all this is. Sir Alex knew it and exploited it whenever they played too.
How would that work?
Should have been in the squad. Didnt have to start him
Imagine how good la god would have been if he played for a good side? No offence to Southampton, but Imagine him with the galacticos of real. He would have won the ballon dor and played every game for england. It was an old boys club back then. If you didnt play for certain teams, its very unlikely you're getting into the england squad.
If nothing else, we could have had some great moments to look back on, rather than just the failures. Let Tissier deserved to be on the world stage. Imagine in any other country, having a player scoring so many spectacular goals in the top league, and not making the national team. Ludicrous.
Le Tissier is the most underrated player of all time. One of the best ever and stayed loyal to Southampton for his whole career. True Legend !
Hoddle was telling Beckham how to take a free kick in training 😂
You can do 2 positions: great player and dumb coach
You don’t play Tiss ahead of Scholes, it isn’t happening. Plus England were married to 4-4-2 then. It’s easy to call him dumb but you’d have made the same decision in that job in that era.
@@wanmanrmyHoddle favoured a 3-5-2...
@@wanmanrmyyeah cuz a super sub doesn't exist 😂 and players never get injured.....
@@maxenpaxen the players who went as subs were ahead of him. He just wasn’t good enough at a high level to be in that squad in the position he played in.
Le Tissier is overrated. All these covid deniers treating him like some deity 20 years later
It would have been better to say that he Tis didnt fit his footballing strategy. LeTissier could have done a whole lot if you chose to play a different way or actually saw the potential of LeTissier to do more. LeTissier played with Shearer at Southampton and had the footballing sense to adapt.
He also had the ability to do things that no one else did.
Scholes was SHIT for England and didn’t put the same effort he did for Man U. He’s said in many interviews he simply didn’t enjoy it hence retiring early.
Scholes is the only English man you hear French and Brazilians of the 90s speak highly of
I think it is worth saying though that Xavi looked at Le Tissier as one of his role models. Definitely shows the talent Le Tissier had, even if he wasn't at Scholes's level.
Gazza as well
Id say Owen, Gazza and Shearer as well.
Nah, the english squad was bs that time and the most known was Beckham or Owen.
Gerrard
Jack Charlton i think it was who said at the time you cannot shoehorn someone like Le Tissier into that system (at that high a level) when he did so little when the team didn't have possession.
Instead have a team that does nothing when IN possession 😂
Back then, in the days of 442, you could ALWAYS make room for a player like him.
The truth is football is a game full of snakes where loyalty is punished… Le tissier could have played for any top team in the world and been there best player… better than Scholes as a player maybe not career but the eye test doesn’t lie
How could he? He was a passenger 90% of the time, which is why no top team came in for him.
Successive managers failed with England and for the same reasons. They were frightened of the media backlash if a big star didn't start. 100% Le Tiss should have been in the squad. But managers were obsessed with playing Gerrard and Lampard in the same team, when it should have been either or for 65 minutes and replaced with the other as a sub. Scholes running the show with Le Tiss or Sheringham supporting Shearer! Tbf after Ince retired the 1 position we were light was solid, defensive midfielders. How on earth did Carlton Palmer get picked?????
Hoddle didn’t care about that, he cared about his ego and what his mystic meg side kick told him
@@MrChipz900 You believe what you read in the Sun then?
This is complete BS. If it was only Scholes ahead of LeTissier then why wasn’t he even taken as a squad player ?
Scholes is only one man, you still have ten more positions for him
People forget how good Scholes was as a number 10. We all remember him as an 8, but it was actually Nicky Butt who replaced Paul Ince at Man Utd. In the class of 92, Scholes played as a 10 in that side. And under Hoddle, Scholes scored plenty of goals playing as a 10. The brace away against Scotland for example. So for everyone saying Scholes had nothing to do with Le Tissier not playing you are wrong.
Imagine not picking Tiss and using Scholes in every position rather than the one he’s best at in central midfield. This guy was a crackpot.
Awful manager ..... his logic is completely floored
He was total shit
Scholes is hands down one of the best players to ever grace the pitch. Absolute class act
....but never Le Tissier who single handedly kept The Saints up in the top flight 😂
Championship player
@@alaskanmalamute101 you silly scouser 🤣
Managing England should be the greatest achievement of any manager. Unfortunately, managing England has been the ONLY managerial achievement of a succession of England managers.
There are 10 outfield players. When you have a player of Le Tissier’s mercurial talent, you find a way to include them. Like so much of Hoddle the manager, this is pure BS.
Tisser was a luxury player. I think he should have been there as a sub because he give something different but picking tournament squards is hard to strike the right balance le tisser goes then it's got to be either keown of rob lee making way which leaves you a bit weak defensively
So were Gazza… and Hoddle.
Le Tissier is an idiot who believes politicians are 'lizards.'
That’s why hoddle was a great player - useless manager! Of course you need more than one player for each position 😂
Alex Ferguson had Scholes, and still wanted Le Tissier. I guess Sir Alex lacked Glenn Hoddle's "vision".
There are 11 players in a soccer team you berk .. there’s also a substitutes bench ..
Matt off the bench you took Paul merson left gazza and matt and guys like Andy Cole and others 98 ... shame Ian Wright waa the reason England got to the world Cup but he got injured.. guys like fowler les ferdinand Andy Cole great options if your looking for goals .. gazza 96 was still class 98 he would have even been a great impact player from the bench 98 he still had it to come on for 30min and change a game he would have gotten fit for his country and ran through a brick wall for his country could still push himself to do things other players couldn't yeah he waa past his prime but look at him euro 96 2yr later having the option of gazza coming on if you needed a goal last 20 minutes he could still beat two men and smash one top bin win you a game after he got dropped for the world Cup got left out the squad then he went right off the rails
Ian Wright wasn't injured
@@gunnersa8446Wright was injured, unfortunately.
Gascoigne had the movement of a pregnant pig in 98
@gunnersa8446 Wright got them to the world Cup but he got injured .. that's exactly what I said
Gazza was massively unfit. If you’d have watched any of the warm up games you’d have seen someone who was miles off the pace. He was absolutely crap coming off the bench against Saudi Arabia and then same against Morocco in the starting XI. Of all the things Hoddle got wrong leaving Gazza behind wasn’t one of them. He’d become a liability at this point in his career with no upside.
Ok so if Scholes can play in so many positions how can't you fit both of them in the team?
Paul Scholes wasn't being picked at the beginning of Hodd's time...I think Hodd was just too conventionally minded to think about trying to integrate Matt into the team. He took the easy route. The irony was that Hodd was deemed to be a similar type of player and the hope was that he'd be the one to unlock Matt's potential....but Hodd wasn't strong minded...I guess that's why the FA chose him....
I thought england under glenn hoddle were great, but you would think that you take your best players and you mould a team into a system of play, rather than picking a system & trying to squeeze the players in. I dont know many nations that would leave some of their best players behind just to fit a system
You hit the nail on the head
That's why Brazil 🇧🇷 was so good
I wasn't even thinking of brazil,but exactly right! they were all out offence, because their best players were on the offence.@@pauliepaul3697
That generation of England players did fit that system.
Gascoigne wasn't one of Englands best players anymore, and Le Tissier never was.
Great??? Your deluded won just two games in a world cup against tunisia and columbia, knocked out in just the second round, and you think he was great😅
@@petemitchel5622 so true about great
But he makes some good points about systems
We believe you Glen.
It was mistake Scholes never did it for England. No Keane beside him. Tissier deserved a chance 👏
Using Scholes as a shield for your hatred.
Knowing damn well Scholes won't even care to respond.
What a clown.
Tiss was one of the laziest footballers in history. Wouldn't defend to save his life.
Hoddle was right. Tiss was the sort of player that you build the side around, like at Southampton. Scholes was a better option. But Tiss should have been in the squad, rather than Lee or Batty.
@@philipallen-729 But as Southampton showed, it's a team that wouldn't win anything. Man U managed it with Cantona, but it would have never worked with Tiss on the international stage. England would have been slaughtered most matches
I'd have wanted Le Tissier running up to take a Penalty rather than David Batty!!!
Why would you build a team around Le Tissier. Southampton had to sacrifice progressive team play to accommodate him
@@mrpointy123Absolutely. Won nothing at Saints. But a more than useful player to come off the bench with 15 minutes to play.
Glen hoddle talks shite
That still doesn’t explain why Le Tissier couldn’t even get into a squad.
Paul Scholes is probably one of the most underrated players of his time. Absolutely world class and that's from a Liverpool fan
Glenn hoddle worst manager ever!
Not even close to being true
England played the best football they ever have under Hoddle. How can he be the worst manager for not picking a player that 5 England managers in a row didn't pick? Theres a reason that happened!
Facts!!@@kb5509
Graham Taylor was
Steve Mclaren, Roy Hodgson, Graham Taylor, Fabio Capello. All terrible England managers, regardless of their club success, and arguably all had England playing far worse football than Hoddles England in 98.
Genius of a player never played him. Hoddle was like Tiss a fabulous footballer. Ashit manager though.
I agree at that time Scholes was the obvious pick. But earlier for England, never understood why he wasn't picked ahead of some of crap we had in midfield through the years before the Scholes, Beckham era
Hoddle was treated in the 80s the same as le tiss was in the 90s
That 98 England side were formidable. We were just unlucky on pens
Glenn didn’t pick Gazza or le tissier because he was getting his own back for not being picked enough in his prime
Gazza was absolutley finished by hoddles period.
@@basicfilmblog Gazza still had something to offer in 98
@@basicfilmblog also, considering hoddle took Paul Merson with him to World Cup, Gazza could’ve been much more useful as a sub
I agree with you ! Maybe Le Tissier was a player who played in one podition...but in that position was the best in the world! Do you know that?
Tisser underrated under used at national level did stuff other couldnt dream of could change a game just by doing something unbelievable people who aint watched this guy play the worldies at club crazy some of best hightlight to watch facts
Picking Merson was questionable
I don’t care who you supported during this era of football but I guarantee the majority of all fans would have preferred Tiss in the England team.
If you ever wondered what would’ve happened if Rooney stayed at Everton, he would’ve been Matt Le Tissier.
Steve McManaman who was was in Euro 96 team of the tournament didn’t receive many caps and he was described by Pele as “if he were Brazilian he would get in the squad” yet Hoddle couldn’t play him and insisted chose to play Dazza Anderton… yeah, well done Glenn
Basically Le Tissier didn't play for a "big club" so that's the real reason why he didn't play him.
Tiss was world class
Le Tissier was a once in a lifetime player. No-one can do what Le Tissier could.
“I had that vision” that’s where the damaged ego presented itself
"Because I had that vision". What, the vision to see that Paul Scholes was a great player? I guess in the mornings you have the vision to boil the kettle instead of filling a pan with water. Or to use the toilet when you need to pee. Well done, Glenn.
I don't like how he treated Beckham. Think he made a few bad decisions as a manager regarding players
I would imagine Le Tissier is SO UNDERRATED outside of England 🏴 , even in England he's underrated unfortunately
Le tissier had that dawg in him
You had that vision... Did ye aye 🫡
A natural gifted player he could have lifted an inspired the whole team...
History cannot be rewritten a great questionable loss.
from about 90-98 le tiss should have been one of England's main players
"Coz ee's a big old racist bruv!" Wow! Did not expect that level of honesty.
Portsmouth fan here. Le tissier was brilliant. But he was nowhere near Scholes 😂
He'd have won 100 caps for France, the team that dumped Ginola and picked Guivarc'h? Or Brazil, who basically parked the bus at two World Cups in the 90s?
He never played much for England because he stayed at Southampton. Never proved himself in a big team, for England the competition was Scholes, Beckham, Merson and Gascoigne; for Southampton it was Ali Dia.
The player who was really shafted by England in the 90s was Ian Wright. Went to a big club, scored a shedload of goals every season, won more trophies than Shearer or Lineker- yet he somehow didn't go to either Euro 92 or 96. And can't be blamed for not qualifying in 94, as Taylor used him as an 80th minute sub if he picked him at all. To be fair Hoddle did seem to be finally giving him a chance when he was well past 30 and getting injury prone, but it was a bit late.
