Top bloke, no arrogance about him. Raised well.

It is amazing with all the hype on him at a young age that Joe didn't turn into a bigheaded bellend. Parents did him good. Top man.

Gotta love Joe Cole, decent guy with no ego. That Chelsea team of the mid 00s was just a winning machine. They were so powerful and mentally strong it was scary. Mourinho of that era was special, he demanded so much more from his players and it showed in the games that they played. That along with Rafa Benitez defined that time frame in football. The game has moved on from the mid/late 00s, players are no longer the same I'd say more "snowflakey" and I assent to add more social media driven. But what great time to enjoy the game back in the mid to late 00s.

The Chelsea team of 2004-5-6 was simply scary. Big personalities, physically strong, tactically smart and very very efficient winning machine. Those were the days.

Everything Mourinho does for the players is to benefit them. Some don't see it now. But with age and maturity, they start to catch on how much of a great mentor he actually is.

Joe Cole was at his peak during 2005-06 season. He was the best player of England at 2006 World Cup. After that he suffered two back to back injuries and missed the most of 2006-07 season. He never gained his top form after that, just a spark in 2007-08 season and after that he just faded away at the age of 27, what a shame.

Respect Mourinho, Mourinho respects.

One of the best technical players we produced in the last generation but our game hadn't quite caught up with him. English game was way behind

One of the most underrated players ever. He was one of the reasons why I fell in love with Chelsea and the Premeir League at an early age. Loved that nickname Rio and the guys gave him at West Ham. Conjurer!

Really liked Jo Cole. He was an amazing and underrated player. Much love

My favourite England goal is his volly v Sweden

Joe Cole, Robben, Drogba. What a trio. 2005-2007

Incoming the mourinho haters... they seem to forget his 2010 treble and numerous premier league titles.

loved joe cole as a player, seems like he has such a good personality as well

Classic Interview from Joe Cole lol

Jose is an enigma and football would be dull without him

Trying to get him to say something bad about Jose, but he's a loyal soldier 👍🏼

Who else remembers that 2006 World Cup goal? Can't remember another time I went as crazy over a goal than that one

nice to hear some one who appreciate morino work at this time thanks cole

as an american growing up watching the game always loved Joe Coles playing style . One of top technical players from 🏴󠁧󠁢󠁥󠁮󠁧󠁿

Jose Mourinho the type of guy to smile and laugh when he loses a game and throw a tantrum when he wins

Fergie did exactly the same to Rooney, Ronaldo etc so when Rio is asking if Mourinho took the magic out of Joe, ask if Fergie done the same, Rio! Oh wait... won’t have a bad word said against him!

Joe Cole at 25 now would be worth 150m and one of the top players in the world, ahead of his time, still quality though

In a sense, Mourinho was right. Joe Cole had like 2 GREAT years but never he was considered the best in the world, whilst Frank Lampard... he trully was one of the greatest ever to play in that position. Still Mou had the knowledge to educate and praise Joe Cole for what he did but he trully could have been so much more. But then again we (the general public) are unaware of so many things that these glimpses of interactions of players and coaches are so interesting. I would love to be a manager at that level, or at least have the opportunity of witness a full season under a Football Manager that coaches any top flight team.

What a skillful player. Also humble

Joe seems like a such a genuine bloke doesn't he!

man I'm 24 don't watch football often except when the opportunity to jump on a bandwagon but I always remember loving J Cole, turns out he's a cool guy also

Gotta give it to rio, even in a conversation about Joe Cole he attempts to have a go at mourinho, even suggests it's joses fault for Cole not fulfilling his potential. The mans obsessed

Mourinho the type of guy to start Mctominay over Pogb....

What’s the problem of keep blaming jose and saying jose ruin player lol?! He’s one of the best coach in the history

Love Joey Cole. Legend!

I'm glad I watched this, seems a very grounded bloke. Top player in his prime too.

God i loved joe cole i miss old chelsea that group of players(joe cole, ashley cole,lampard, essien, drogba,) really bleed blue. Chelsea now is filled with mostly mercenaries players how come for the coach or 💰 or who think chelsea is some kind of stepping stool to 🇪🇸.

One of the few times i liked to watch England play is when Joe Cole was playing.

A player with great feet. Could play in any team in tbe world at his peak.

I use to love watching Joe a great player

What a player he was

As a football fan. Damn! What a fantastic signing on a free. 20 or 30 mins from the first game Red Card and he was never the same. Mouthwatering to think, he could lift some burden from Steven Gerrard but. . He came at the wrong time. Time when Liverpool was mismanage on the pitch and in the boardroom.

Statistically, Joe Cole played the best football of his career under Mourinho. But apparently Mourinho 'ruined' him because he didn't hug him after every game.

What a lovely lad

Looool wouldn't expect Frank to be so savage 🤣 What a team that was!!!

Joe Cole was some talent man. As a United fan nothing but respect for JC.

I remember j.cole. damn too good.

I’m blues fan I like JC/ I just happy to see him

Joe Cole. Easily my favourite of the Peaky Blinders and that mixtape he did wit Jeremih... Airplanes was fire.

Top player and top manager!!!

As a Bayern fan, I really adore Rio...He is a real gentleman.

My favourite player for years

Fantastic player!

Chelsea legend in my eyes

Those were the days!

What José did to Joe then is somewhat reminiscing what Tuchel is currently doing to Ziyech & Abraham

Remember watching him for West Ham against Liverpool in about 2001 and the guy was honestly a joke. Only way Liverpool could stop him was hacking him down at the halfway line before he got too close to goal. Unbelievable player.

It's amazing how players just love mourinho. They would give everything on the pitch for him

The NBA have a show called "inside the nba" where former player gather and talk about funny time, tough times, successfull times ect, we need a show like that with a good setup for footballers, id be watching every week for sure!

Chelsea legend... Top bloke...

My favourite Chelsea player, him and Essien.

Mourinho was not the same when he came back to Chelsea, or the players mentality was very weak to accept him. Sad times for Chelsea.😪

Joe was great

Him at West Ham with Di Canio🔥

As much as I like Joe Cole, I don't think he's made for TV as a pundit but I hope he has success with coaching.

Out of context question here, do they really have a studio in every stadium or the background is green screen stuff?

'The Conjuror'

He was competing with Duff and Robben hi his place, so they had great competition for the two wing places.

That's the mentality that makes Jose's teams successful, when players are able to take criticism...not like the current man united players that wouldn't stop whining.

Mourinho is the type of guy to pour his milk before the ceral

I wonder if Joe ever thought about moving to a different country that would suit the type of player he was earlier in his career

My favourite Joe Cole song is No Role Modelz

5 minutes London to Brussels?

My favorite player any day.. Unfortunately didn't play up to his potential!

Top bloke. Chris Sutton absolute plum. Right dry lunch.😉

Cole is a cool dude

5:01 the best part HAHAH

glad joe is now back in chelsea in a managerial capacity

class player

Never forget, Joe Cole ruled the soccer am showboat late 90s early 00s

Favourite england player - one of the only ones who could actually dribble

I remember the Joe Cole that Liverpool had... ... ...

He’s underrated imo

Prime Joe Cole was pretty fast and skillfull.

Me and my mate used to watch soccer AM every Saturday and as soon as the ‘showboat’ came on take bets on how many times joe Cole would feature. This was mainly in his West Ham days. Everyone said he would be the next gazza. Mourinho turned him into a more defensive minded player which took away his flair but added a to a more rounded football player.

Jose also said he scored from a corner that he owed him

Im Leeds but Joes a good lad, England could have got more out of that generation with a better coach.😊

Jose is the Tony Ferguson of football....

gogo!

Jose used to be a tactician, now he's a mecenary, just going around making millions. Joe is soooooooooo cool,

When I first started playing fifa, young Joe was the best skiller for years in the Chelsea team. Used to do defenders dirty. Great talent and undoubtedly a Blues legend!

Jose beast for chelsea

Jayjay okocha

Absolute baller

Joe shut the door on jayjay being a younger option when they signed him from West ham

he's there he's there he is every f.... where Joey Cole COYB

Wait, joe cole is old 😮

what a player he was.. wish he was at arsenal

Love him to bits, but he's certainly not as eloquent as Lamps...

England's best after Gazza....

I'm one of those who thinks Joe didn't reach his potential. I understand why he went to Chelsea, and yes he did win alot there, but, he was not any part of the reason they won so much. They'd have won it without him. He was never really trusted in the middle at Chelsea, particularly by Jose who preferred bigger lads. So he was stuck out wide for so long there. He was never trusted to be free. Jose even threatened to sell him if he did one more backheal. That era of lampard, Gerrard and scholes debate should have included joe. He was every bit as good as them, maybe even more so. Could have been gazza Standard, i really believe that. But he's overlooked as a great. Because he was never allowed to shine as a central player. Still a great career, but should have been so much better for me.

This is the different about Mou managed team at 2000 up and 2014 up.. the way now is different not like the old time.. I think if Jose given the all he need at the club like chelsea in 2004/2005 , intermilan or even porto.. he can give another champions again. Iam a chelsea fan and still now hope he manage chelsea one day if Sarri leave.. He and Ten Hag ..

joe cole is eden hazards doppelganger

Mourinho has never been the same since Madrid. Ive always said this but he has lost the passion since chelsea and madrid won champions league without him
