The TRUTH Behind Xabi Alonso’s Leverkusen ⚽️ Nathan Tella | Perspectives

Season 1 · Episode 12

Tuesday, July 23, 2024 • Duration 01:08:08

Last season, Nathan Tella had the best year of his career at Bayer Leverkusen. Playing for Xabi Alonso, he was part of the first Bundesliga team to go an entire season without losing a game.

Leverkusen won their first ever Bundesliga title, ending Bayern’s 11 year winning streak. They made history, and Nathan played a big part in that. He’s had a great season, but his journey has been far from easy.

Nathan was released by Arsenal’s academy and left without a club at 18 years old. He suffered a near career-ending knee injury when he was just 19 years old.

But despite all the adversity he faced, he never gave up and managed to turn his career around. In this episode, Nathan talks about working with football legends like Vincent Kompany and Xabi Alonso.

He opens up about the reality of being a professional footballer, and gives us the behind the scenes on this incredible Leverkusen team. This is Nathan Tella, and this, is his story.

What REALLY happened to Saido Berahino 👀 | Perspectives

Season 1 · Episode 11

Tuesday, July 16, 2024 • Duration 01:10:45

Once regarded as one of the Premier League’s brightest young talents, it’s safe to say Saido Berahino’s career did not go to plan. 😔 The media told a clichéd tale of an unprofessional young footballer who let fame and money get to his head. But there’s more than meets the eye with Saido. 👀

Saido tell us about growing up on the streets of war-torn Burundi, losing his father and moving to the UK alone as a refugee. 💔 He reveals the truth behind corrupt individuals in the football industry along with threats of violence. 😳

Saido went from making footballs with plastic bags, to playing in the Premier League in front of millions. Although he didn’t fulfil his potential on the pitch, this interview may open your eyes to his side of the story. 🙏

Troy Deeney talks Prison, Alcohol struggles & Forest Green | Perspectives

Season 1 · Episode 9

Sunday, May 5, 2024 • Duration 01:06:34

Since his short stint as player-manager at Forest Green, Troy Deeney has been in the media a lot recently. He’s a polarising character; some see him as outspoken, others find his ‘say it how it is’ style refreshing. Regardless, you have to respect the man’s career. Coming from a tough childhood in Birmingham, Deeney didn’t sign for a professional club until he was 18 years old. He rose up the English football pyramid making 165 PL appearances and scoring 47 PL Goals.

It’s rare to find a footballer so open about their story, but Deeney tells us everything. We cover his struggles with domestic abuse, alcohol issues, time in prison and the pressures of being a Premier League footballer. Love him or hate him, Troy Deeney is a name The Premier League will never forget.
