True story: I remember Giuseppe Rossi bursting through the ranks, so I got the number 42 shirt. A week later they gave him the number 19 shirt, a couple of months later he left on loan and never returned. Wounded m8
I'm 30 min from Rossi's hometown in New Jersey. As a native person from NJ and United fan, always found it cool a fellow person from there played for my club. Great video
He’s related to my high school American Football coach haha. My coach would rock his Fiorentina jersey here and there which we never knew why he wore that until he told us. Cheers from America
Adam you and I have so much in common. i also followed Rossi's career. Always wanted him to do well. He will always be in my heart and mind. His timing was wrong just. Awesome guy.
I am a bit older than you Adam but I remember watching Guiseppe and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Fraizer Campbell playing for the reserves and ripping it up. He had a wand of a left foot. I too have followed his career because he was such a talent. His injuries and lost seasons have not diminished his love of playing and of his love for United. Once a red, always a red!!!
I still remember van der sar running and jumping on him after he scored against Sunderland. It wasn't a routine win Adam.we were 2-0 up, Sunderland scored. We were under incredible pressure and Rossi scored with some time left to play. It was amazing
Fantastic interview and what a sound guy he comes across as. I remember him coming through the youth set up and thinking he was going to be huge at United. Such a shame that injuries hampered his chances to get the moves his talent deserved but what he did do is memorable and like he said he was the best player behind Ronaldo & Messi in the league at one time and not many can say that.
LOL, absolutely loved the story of him knocking around as a kid gathering people to play just to end up playing baseball and American football instead. Hilarious. Great interview, this and the Macheda one are both absolutely top class.
COOLEST FOOTBALLER EVER He is so down to earth honest interesting and nice which you dont expect from a famous footballer you when listening to him you would never say he is a multi milionare Probably has to do with the fact he is american and has that attitude but also italian class and manners a perfect mix Thank you so much for remembering him this was the best interview i ever listened
Saw Rossi play for Utd some 15 years ago in the then annual pre-season Amsterdam tournament. He was tremendously sharp and skilful. Always surprised Utd let him go.
..wow ~ its so heartbreaking knowing about those potential transfers he could've made !! But sometimes the stars just arent aligned ...u do what u gotta do n still keep enjoying the game !!
My wife and I live in Clifton NJ . WE FLEW TO ROME TO WATCH HIM PLAY AGAINST OUR TEAM AS ROMA DEC OF 2013 HE PLAYED FOR FIORENTINA HE SIGNED MY TICKET AT CLIFTON HS
Rossi hit the nail on the head not only about football in the USA but sports in general. All sports are growing towards this major money making soulless experience. Far too much money going to the top without any of it going down to help develop. The USA is built on sports that require more than just a ball and space. Basketball you need the hoop, American football you need the padding, baseball you need the bat and bases. Football is built on it's simplicity and that something as simple as an empty can and a few coats can make a whole day of fun.
You know Rossi, if the US had of remained part of the British Empire, football would have been a lot easier for you to find as a kid. Spread the word. 😉
@@Soccertz1 I'll try again. Did you watch the video? From what I recall (It's bee a while since I watched this.), he struggled to find others to play football with as a kid. Football (Soccer, for *uneducated* Americans.) is not the US' most popular sport and if they had of remained the obedient little colony they once were, it more than likely would be. Along with many other bonuses that come with belonging to such a marvellous empire. Unfortunately the US' *selective* education programs, especially in history (Hashtag: Not all, just most.), may suggest otherwise. They're wrong... Seriously though, the US is great but no nation is perfect. Sooo get over it or, give me something more entertaining to chat about, rather nitpicking at my very, very humorous post. British humour, see, see what you're missing. ;) Google's American, isn't it. XD
@@wtfamiactuallyright1823 yeah, you wasted your time on this one. I was referring to teams not pickup games. When I heard him say that I tried to go back to delete the post but couldn’t find it. 🤪🤪 but I do hope you had fun writing that…🤣
@@Soccertz1 I'm a little disappointed that the only cognitive dissonance I experienced here was from Google' algorithms, but I'll get over it and it's never a waste of time reminding Americans that they are the ******** child of the British Empire. Clearly you're one of the smarter Americans out there and could be of use to us Brits. We'll give you 1$ a week if you'll help us in our propaganda program, wait, 2$ since you appear to be of higher calibre than usual? We'll raise it to 2£ a week if you do a good job, get back to me asap, plz. I bid you good day, hopefully to future colonialist and potential, British citizen if you please us. ;)
OMG I live in America too, and as a kid I could never get a pickup game with anyone, and there are so many open fields unused that kids in Europe would do anything to have
This dude is a bullshitter! I have been playing 11 aside every Sunday during the summer months for the last 22 years and indoors for 15 years in this country. How he claims he can't get a pickup game in 2021 is BS!
Got to love Joe Red! ♥️
Was gutted when he and Pique left the club, always wanted Guiseppe to be a success and also watched his progress at Villarreal
Where in Ireland are your relatives from? Great interview Adam, definitely a cult hero for united fans of a certain age.
True story: I remember Giuseppe Rossi bursting through the ranks, so I got the number 42 shirt. A week later they gave him the number 19 shirt, a couple of months later he left on loan and never returned.

What a legend! Wish he got more of a chance at United his best years were still ahead of him!

Lovely interview, Adam! Love how Rossi was caught between "soccer" and "football"😄
Giuseppe Rossi has to be one of the most gifted youngsters to come through our academy. Very talented - injuries fucked him
Heartbreaking when he was talking about the Bayern deal falling through. Damn.
Adam you and I have so much in common. i also followed Rossi's career. Always wanted him to do well. He will always be in my heart and mind. His timing was wrong just. Awesome guy.
🙌🏾🙌🏾🙌🏾
Wow loved it thank you team paddock the way he spoke about united and sir alex was just wow
Quality.
Definitely one of the best interviews you guys have done
Great interview Adam! Loved Giuseppe Rossi.. Great memories and seems like a top bloke
Great Interview Adam
And Vidic, a man of honour. Respect.
Such a shame it never worked for him at UTD, he was Michael Owenesque. Class player
I am a bit older than you Adam but I remember watching Guiseppe and Sylvan Ebanks-Blake and Fraizer Campbell playing for the reserves and ripping it up. He had a wand of a left foot. I too have followed his career because he was such a talent. His injuries and lost seasons have not diminished his love of playing and of his love for United. Once a red, always a red!!!
Adam, was waiting for you to get Rossi to say " Forget about it"
Sometimes it just means "forget about it"
Giuseppe "what not" Rossi. Love him
Great interview, been patiently waiting it and totally worth the wait, great job Macca
Rossi's movement snapped many ankle's! I always believed he would become a united legend.. good luck for the future bro 🤜🤛
Academy Icon!! He was a BEAST at Villarreal!
Top guys! Top interview!
Wow the memories!
Joe Red saying ‘The Boss’ in reference to Fergie makes Fergie sound like a mafia Don 🤣🤣
well fergie is the jeffe el jeffe (boss of bosses)
I still remember van der sar running and jumping on him after he scored against Sunderland.
It wasn't a routine win Adam.we were 2-0 up, Sunderland scored. We were under incredible pressure and Rossi scored with some time left to play. It was amazing
Lit interview, keep up the good work peeps

Someone tell Becks to give him a bell.
Grande Guiseppe! Amazing interview @AdamMcKola
LOL, absolutely loved the story of him knocking around as a kid gathering people to play just to end up playing baseball and American football instead. Hilarious.
Great interview, this and the Macheda one are both absolutely top class.
Mannaggia che bel sorpresa! Funny to think Giuseppe is the same age as Cavani. Deserved to have the same career. Great interview Adam
Such a lovely guy and so under rated
Hes like Memphis and Jesse lingard . Even if they are not at united we want them to succeed .
Rossi had more talent and potential than both of the two you have mentioned and I couldn't care less about Depay or Lingard.
My all time favorite academy player, still gutted he didn't make it at United.
I loved him so much but he couldn't make it to the team, much much love from me in Uganda, a typical Italy fan
Am now going to bed very excited, imagine beating Belgium whom everyone predicted to beat mighty Italian team, no way, next time haha 😂 😂 😂 😂 😂
Great interview
COOLEST FOOTBALLER EVER
He is so down to earth honest interesting and nice which you dont expect from a famous footballer you when listening to him you would never say he is a multi milionare
Probably has to do with the fact he is american and has that attitude but also italian class and manners a perfect mix
Thank you so much for remembering him this was the best interview i ever listened
Giuseppe Rossi and Howson's Brew, what a day 🙏
Saw Rossi play for Utd some 15 years ago in the then annual pre-season Amsterdam tournament. He was tremendously sharp and skilful. Always surprised Utd let him go.
Quality content guys - keep up the great work!
Thanks, mate!
I had no idea he was such a New York Italian 😂😂😂😂😂 That right there is the thickest American Italian accent you can have haha.
Very much so. A part in Godfather IV awaits him.
..wow ~ its so heartbreaking knowing about those potential transfers he could've made !! But sometimes the stars just arent aligned ...u do what u gotta do n still keep enjoying the game !!
Brilliant interview
Nice one, Edward! 👍
Rossi fuck yes Youth team legend
Excellent Vid ♥️ Rossi
Love this content
This interview makes me wanna go get a pizza, New York style. Forza Man U.
Unbelievable talent, big shame injuries messed things up
Giuseppe what a guy
Wow cool interview.
My wife and I live in Clifton NJ . WE FLEW TO ROME TO WATCH HIM PLAY AGAINST OUR TEAM AS ROMA DEC OF 2013 HE PLAYED FOR FIORENTINA HE SIGNED MY TICKET AT CLIFTON HS
OMG it’s here!!!!!!!😃
FINALLY!
@@FullTimeDevils it delivered big time👌👌👌

as an italian i bloody love giuseppe and i always have ❤️
As an American with an Italian grandfather 😜 I wish he would’ve played for the USMNT. 🥲
Giuseppe Rossi ❤️
You know Rossi, if the US had of remained part of the British Empire, football would have been a lot easier for you to find as a kid.
Spread the word. 😉
Did he have problems finding it in the US? No

Haven't United signed Heaton to be our number 3?
No4 grant still at United
When I start my FIFA career in league 1 I always look to buy Rossi to smash em in for me before he retires lol respect
Favourite youth graduate ever
When was this recorded because Heaton is back now
Before the Super League stuff broke the Internet.
It was supposed to go out that week...
Giuseppe rossi speaks perfect english
Didn’t know he was American
The original rashford before injuries got to him 😔
Him and Pique came out together. Pique's career went exactly how everyone thought it would but unfortunately Rossi's didn't
Possibly the greatest player of all time?
Cast him in Sopranos please
OMG I live in America too, and as a kid I could never get a pickup game with anyone, and there are so many open fields unused that kids in Europe would do anything to have
You have to move to southern California where there are pickup games. Pre covid19 😜
@@Soccertz1 you don't need to convince me to much to move to Cali. I love it there. Unfortunately I've only been there on several vacations
Injuries ruined him.
Has he always had an American accent?
He's American born.
@@FullTimeDevils yeah 5 minutes in,I now know I should’ve waited😂
Just always imagined him with an Italian accent,was a shock
@@ethxan1863 tbf he's a native Italian speaker it's his first language before English
Why was he calling Adam a sucker?
Crazy how thick his new jersey accent is since he was only there till 12
This dude is a bullshitter! I have been playing 11 aside every Sunday during the summer months for the last 22 years and indoors for 15 years in this country. How he claims he can't get a pickup game in 2021 is BS!
Still a red in my book, and let go prematurely.
I just came here for listening how American sound his accent 🤭🤭
What's up with the thick Boston accent? 😂
New Jersey not Boston
Sounds like North Jersey to me
From Jersey
My man mckola is indian Irish, doubly oppressed by Brits 🤣🤣
