Couldn't agree more. Oddly, for me. Apart from fond memories playing chess with my dad as a boy. I'd never pursued or followed. But recently, for some reason have shown an interest again. So to see this interview with Rog!! What a treat.
@@trevorgreen8615 the same with me mate. Learnt to play at 7. Played a little bit here and there, mostly with my dad. Then didn’t play for 20 years. Started again a year or so back and I’ve really enjoyed it.
I think i can see some chess in Salah being more happy with the brilliance of assists. Putting the goal in check, forcing the movement of the keeper and defenders to create space somewhere else, sacrificing his shot on goal to create an opening for a back post Gokpo tap in. etc.
Brilliant! Magnus is always a good listen. Showed some love to left footed players, dissed Arsenal and Man U, and stayed neutral. Love the breakdown around 21:40
fun fact: st.pauli qualified for bundesliga at football and chess this season. so magnus made a contract with st. pauli and the big news was: st. pauli get the goat and 5 times wc. typcal magnus humor.
I quote Magnus Carlsen’s lines from the Simpson’s episode he was in way too much. Particularly the “I still don’t want to talk to you” in his accent. An icon all around. What a bloke
I always abide by this tweet by Magnus Carlsen: Always just cap Salah, never get fancy Always just cap Salah, never get fancy Always just cap Salah, never get fancy
bro y u r over reacting, what are those faces u r making, its so distracting.. its not not like Im saying u should not smile but u r just acting weird and unnatural, I get it u r trying make body language of "good listener", but believe me u r overdoing it
@@Freestyle80 then u guys are bunch of clowns in UK ig lmao, from when does acting normal in a conversation is an "Indian" thing ? Magnus is also talking here, he was not making those weird autistic aah face like the interviewer, does that mean Magnus is Indian ? mr. smooth brain
@@Freestyle80 Looks absolutely ridiculous from a Swedish perspective too, stop making it cultural issue when it's clearly a mental issue of the people doing it or defending it.
Who is the best chess player in the Premier League?
Must be 4 real Mo Salah. Metaphorically its Gravenberch or ødegard.
It’s a red no doubt.
I bet if they ran a tourney, it'd be someone unexpected. My money would be on a defensive midfielder or a keeper, though.
Wasn't there a Spurs player who played Anna Cramling?
They should run a Premier league players tournament, as it would be a brilliant watch
I don’t think I’ve ever seen Magnus smile so much in an interview. Props to the interviewer for enjoyable questions and a great atmosphere.

How the hell is this channel so underrated? ❤ from John Oliver to Magnus
Only the numbers of subs are underrated. This podcast should have a million plus:)
Incredible timing to drop this when he's in the news
Interesting stuff he's in the news for as well. Haven't watched yet but hmm.
Not for a good reason though 😆
For bad😂
Bro won everything in chess, and now he is cooking in football.😮
Magnus is much more open and energetic when he's interviewed outside of chess (football etc).
this was perfect entertainment for my morning coffee. great interview.
This was a wonderful interview. Thoroughly enjoyable.
Brilliant interview...really enjoyed this...Magnus shows great passion for football especially the Norwegian national team
Salah & Magnus collab on the channel incoming?

I thoroughly enjoyed this. Magnus rocks
20:02 thank you for mentioning my story to the GOAT! 😍♟️

The hosts interest and joy while listening to Magnus encourages him in the best way. Great listen 👍
This is a beautiful inteview.
WoW...... The GOAT. Love this "Crazy" Norwegian

Everton fan? Brilliant! My two favorites, chess and football. Magnus and Everton.
The two greatest games ever invented.
The chess goat 🐐 talking about pl goat salah 🐐
Brilliant interview
27:24 i m very excited to watch freestyle tour
Interesting timing, was this right after World Rapid/Blitz Championships?
Magnus has been pretty anonymous past few days lol
The GOAT with Magnus Carlsen!
he's probably a veteran in football manager
Bro is obviously so intelligent. He would kill me. I can’t even pass 900 elo. Great interview
Magnus seems to enjoy being interviewed so much more when it’s not about chess.
The goat ⛳
Best interviews

Had to check out that video 😁
Magnus Carlsen, the OG GOAT OF FPL and quite decent chess player
You’d think a Scandi would know the plural of Lego is Lego.
We all know, but we think its funny to annoy Danish people by saying it wrong.
Wait what? Football Grandmaster 😊
His English is really impressive.
I always abide by this tweet by Magnus Carlsen:
Always just cap Salah, never get fancy
Always just cap Salah, never get fancy
Always just cap Salah, never get fancy
Lovely video sir, keep up the good work:) YNWA
At least in the 80s, Chinese olympic gymnasts played chess as part of their training... (and soccer seems much more chess)
The host is acting out expressions on his face. Irritating. Be more genuine and normal. I covered half my screen
This is the first time i see the comment section empty
you've been teasing this one for a while, it was well worth the wait!

This is how its done in the UK, stop trying to make everything Indian

@@Freestyle80 Your chatting shit. If you ever did those overractions in the UK people would think you're insane
He will happily forfeit his chess trophy for 1st spot fantasy league. Duh 🫶🏽
