Alexis Mac Allister: Arne Slot's Impact & Winning A World Cup

That's true. Gary it's a gentleman, and a hell of a player. His a nice and cheerfull guy, and the way he understand football I think it's very passional, same as us. This side of him bring the best of the interviewed, the players seems confortable with players not so much with journalist.

Brighton gave the most heartwarming World Cup celebration I have ever seen. Great club.

[@SlimchapUK]

We love him at Brighton because he never tried to force his way out, he put in the work always and played his best. When a huge club came calling there wasn't any drama, and we could all see what it meant to him leaving our club. I'm personally not too bothered by the players that leave after a bit of strop, the club model is they're going to move on after a time, and with our chairman we know we're getting a good price, but its always special when you can see a player ready to move up and challenge for titles, who's emotional their time with us is over. What a player, thrilled we got to see him in a Brighton shirt, hope he gets his title.

[@Utd_86]

Great comment

[@kitty_s23456]

Thanks for the insight. Props to Brighton for giving the best "welcome back" to Alexis when he returned from the world cup. Some other Argentina players were welcomed by their teams poorly (or lackluster), Brighton gave the all out & had confetti! 👍 I think Alexis/ Macca is a good human being. The way he hugged the Brighton ladies staff (during the Brighton/ LFC match) - one could see that he had fondness for them/ for his former club.

Argentina would have not Won World Cup without this guy! I watched them closely, and Alexis really stepped up into the role as the central attacker midfielder who was the glue for the whole team! He was the key that held everyone together, you could even see it on the faces of the other Argentinian players as the tournament progressed and he just grew into the role and got better and better each game! They and me were all thinking, Wow! I knew he was good but I didn't know he was this good!! I genuinely saw him breed confidence throughout the whole Argentinian team, and he took a lot of pressure of Messi! He had the same effect as Kante had on Chelsea and France! The rest of the players looked at him and just thought, theirs no way we are losing with Alexis in the team! Highly underrated, rarely mentioned or talked about, but an absolute crucial component in Every team he's played for! And one of the most down to earth humble players in the Game!👏👍🙏

for the international audience: Ireland & West Scotland are both gaelic - populated by the same ethnicity & there has been lots of converse migration the way to tell Mac Allister is irish descent is that it is styled Mac (would be MacAllister in ireland) and not styled McAllister which is the scottish version of the gaelic prefix meaning 'son of'

"The difficult part is to understand that you are not at the same level as him". Very underrated statement. For me, Argentina suffered for so long and couldn't win anything because apart from having an average goalkeeper and defence at the time, a lot of players didn't really play for him in his younger years. I suppose you can argue that he was still building his legendary status and some were superstars in their own right, but that attack heavy Argentina team with Tevez, Higuain, Agüero, Palacios, Lavezzi, Palermo, Pastore etc didn't really realise early enough that they needed to play for him. On the positive side, perhaps it made the delayed victories all the more sweeter.

Everyone does that to some degree, even at u7 in academies personality plays a big role in who they keep on.

Brighton are such a good side and brilliant to watch and have been so for a few years. Alexis seems to typify the culture, he’s so humble and yet so competitive. Great interview 👍

[@ragerider6283]

Great job Gary. Alexis seems like such a nice, intelligent & well adjusted person. As well as being a fantastic player too.

What a guy and what a player Macca is, love this podcast probably the best sports pod on the internet. No bias no bullshit no bait can’t say the same for any others

Fantastic interview Great to know that McAllister is part Irish ☘️ given that many Liverpool fans are Irish.
