from The Unused Subs · host Goran Paladin

With Monday being Labour Day in NZ, and Jacob working both of the kiwi A-League games across the weekend, he needed some much-needed downtime with family, and nobody else was free... so it was up to Goran to go it alone - 1v1 - with Wellington Phoenix head coach GIANCARLO ITALIANO. The man with a secret part to play in the origin story of The Unused Subs!Chiefy chats openly and honestly about 'losing himself' last season, and the measures he's taken to get back to a positive state of mind. He reveals the extent of the messaging from so-called fans of the game which put him off social media entirely, and talks about the departure of Kosta Barbarouses to Western Sydney Wanderers. Just how does a New Zealand club lose an All Whites rep to an Aussie A-League club?There's time for Chiefy to unveil his 4 X's with Collinson, with some surprising quality in the mix, and we talk about the Kiwi Derby too - the first clash with Auckland FC is less than 2 weeks away! GET EXCITED! How important for Italiano and Wellington to turn things around following a 3-0 whitewash in AFC's first year? All this and so much more in episode 26 of The Unused Subs.
