Dier is rock solid for Bayern... We love him!
Dier comes across really well here, self-aware and articulate. He's by no means a perfect player, but honestly think he's got a lot to offer in his career going forward, 30 is no age for a defender
To be fair, it’s an age for a lot of defenders.. can’t remember too many defenders going from 29 year old straight to 31 year old mate.
@@JasonMcNeill-bv8lbsarcasm is the lowest form of wit
@@JasonMcNeill-bv8lbthat’s why it’s so prevalent among young teens
Only internet trolls bash him. He's clearly a top player, just not the very top
He got you good
Always found Dier to be a very interesting personality. He comes across as a deeper thinker and more well-rounded human being than your average player. Hope he has a great career at Bayern, and it will be interesting to see what he does after he retires.
I just love it when he busts out his fluent Portugese
Hes literally been in Germany 10 minutes and speaking with german in his accent...
@@ChrisMisc1 Harry Kane already spokes Germans while he was playing in PL, and no one seems to understand
@@ChrisMisc1 I don't think he grew up in England.
Prolly thinking deeply from being so shite and always on the bench
What a genuinely nice guy.
what a genuinely plain lame comment about the worst defender to ever play for bayern
😂😂😂
Totally agree! It is great to have him in Germany.
@@rogda123 Didn't see anyone mentioning Upamecano, mate.
Cant help but notice how critical it is for the development of a person to spend time abroad. You see levels of maturity, awareness and focus that lacks in the Johnny-never-left-home player. There is no delusion and entitlement, just a warm heart and a cold mind.
He came through at Sporting Lisbon
My point exactly
Jadon Sancho being the exception. By all accounts he's been a poor professional wherever he's played.
Not just footballers …
@@Theganjaman88Sporting Clube de Portugal*
He's one of the bestest Bayern defenders now . Such an underrated player 🤍❤️😍😍
digga was du laberst er ist der schlechteste man
@@tedbundy8747 Dier und de Ligt sind ein super Team! Die beste defensive, die Bayern aktuell zu bieten hat. Kim und Upa machen viel zu viele Fehler und verschulden etliche Gegentore…
Laber keine Scheiße. Dier der Beste IV von Bayern@@tedbundy8747
🏴❤️🏴❤️
For that tackle on Ramos, this guy will forever be a legend
And the penalty against Colombia
@SamMC08 It disappointed me, that, Eric Dier had the strength of character and ability to score the winning rpenalty, but, once scored, everyone practically put Pickford on their shoulders, because Pickford had saved the 5th penalty. They didn't give any of the kudos to Eric Dier.
@@jumu446in a Penalty shootout the keeper always gets the praise if he saves one or two because percentage wise it’s less likely he gets one
And that free-kick in the World Cup 2018
One thing these interviews will do is that it will give you another perspective of these players seeing them in another light which will make you reconsider you impressions about them..after all they are humans too. Another great interview from Overlap. Big ups guys 👍
Great interview with some very thoughtful responses whether about football, coaches, friendships or values. I would have loved to hear a bit more about how growing up in Portugal influenced his comfort in working in international environments like Tottenham squads and now his move to Bayern.
There's a really good documentary on Spurs play about him as well but it's behind a paywall, it's called Me Eric Dier and is worth a watch
Beautiful interview, not boring in a little room but right in middle of the stadium!!👍🏻beautiful and Eric was open, honest and respectful.
What a genuine nice guy, I hadn't really heard him in an interview before, comes across as articulate and grounded.
He was an absolute juggernaut against Arsenal. Top player what a bargain for Bayern
One thing you can never take away from Eric is his professionalism. He always gives 110% what ever shirt hes wearing. Hes a very mature and grounded person and was a great servant to THFC and i really wish him every bit of success at beyern and really hope he wins something, but not at the expence of Spurs next year. Good luck Eric and thank you for the 9 years.
Loved Eric at spurs, it’s true he doesn’t fit the Ange ball philosophy Tottenham are now playing But he gave his all for us as a club and owns our respect and thanks for his time.. COYS
I always think Eric comes across so well in interviews, his personality is so natural in conversation. Great episode. I hope he keeps playing well for Bayern, and gets that 50th cap. He can replicate that winning penalty against Colombia, against whoever we play in the Euros Final if he wants. 😄
He deserves a 50th cap. He's been a good servant for England and seems a decent bloke. Poor form from Southgate to not keep in contact with one of his former stalwarts, especially when he's made a big move abroad. I expected better from him.
he is doing rly well with De Ligt. Better then Kim and Upa.
Although I didn't enjoy watching Dier play for my club Tottenham, I can appreciate that he is a genuinely nice guy. This interview has definitely changed my view on him as well as alleviated some of the pain I had whilst watching the disaster that was the 2022/23 season for Tottenham.
One or two seasons he was here for 10 years bro. No need to disrespect him like that our best years in recent times was with him dele, son and wimmer in their young days. He was setup to fail in conte system, Jose he was better
I like Neville’s content. He’s a great interviewer.
True professional that played the game to the highest level. Hard to go wrong there with relating to similar players 😃
Enjoyed this one way more than I expected. Great interview. 👍🏻
What an honest soul. I am impressed by this genuine man.
This is probably the best interview Gary has done ..in my opinion
Arsenal supporter here - Eric seems like a top guy! Havnt really heard him speak much before, but he seems like hes a good cookie! Bayern bought 2 Spurs players and then dont win the league in 10 years - cant even write a script like that lol... Hoping for 2 good games now!
They’re going all out for the UCL, goodluck
Arsenal already beat Bayern, there is literally no point of Bayern even showing up😂😂@@sighfly2928
Such an articulate genuine guy. Haven’t heard a footballer talk with such clarity and sense of self-awareness, except for Thomas Muller maybe. Dier is great player and addition to the team. Hope you stay with Bayern.
Thx Gary once again for a great interview with an exceptional human and player. ❤
Sound guy - talks really well. Could see him being a decent manager / coach.
Didnt ever really feel anyway towards to eirc before whatching this but genuinely appreciate his honesty and massive respect gained hearing a modern pro be so open 👌
A class act, holds himself exceptionally well and that is the product of his early life at Sporting CP he mentioned here, shaking hands with people properly, making your own bed every morning and not playing no matter what if you've done something wrong. The way he also didn't badmouth, but instead praised, every manager he's worked with at Spurs, and Daniel Levy, is refreshing. No doubt he would have had frustration, but he didn't air any dirty laundry at all. Will be interesting to see if he goes into coaching/management after he's done playing.
Fascinating interview.
Awesome interview 🎉thanks great guy hope Gareth watches!
He always look like Björn Ironside in Viking to me, now more than ever. Not just to that actor but Eric does gives a Viking warrior vibes as well. Top interview, well done for what he did to Ali, top bloke and hope he continue to have a bright career.
Great interview! Eric is down to earth. Excellent footballer and good character.
Top bloke. Regret forming an opinion of him prior
if he plays for your team ... id' bet you will form an opinion on him
Same. What a lovely guy
@@johnp8388he plays for my team and hes been incredible. On the biggest stage, hes been incredible.
Top lad indeed
CREDIT TO DIER RESPECT FOOTBALLERS ARE HUMAN STAY STRONG DELLI ALLI
Excellent well rounded and articulate person. Deserved way more credit - was loyal servant for spurs.
What a genuinely nice guy. Incredibly respectful of other clubs and players unlike 90% of Premiership players.
Eric really comes across as a very thoughtful and intelligent man here! I still hope Bayern lose every game they play, but I can't help but like him (and Harry Kane) as individuals. 😅
What a lovely guy Eric Dier is. Great interview.
Nice one Gary great conversation. Good luck Eric.
Great interview! Gary ‘Levy is the best operator in football’ Neville
Great interview.
top bloke, top professional, there's never been a dier interview he didn't come across well, Englands best centre half after John stones put the geezer on the plane, no surprise when he isn't asked to defend on the halfway line, he can defend been class for Bayern so far and deserves every bit of it.
Not sure he's our best CB after Stones but I'd have him in the squad over Dunk for his experience and character. I still think we need someone with proper pace next to Stones if we're playing only 2 CBs. Maguire and Dier are both too slow for us to play front foot football.
Sporting CP create more than just ballers. Great person you are Eric. Volta para casa !
Man said “when I was at Spurs I didn’t know if I would ever play Champions League again” 😂😂
Because he couldn´t get into the team. Thats why
@@aslaninfinity no, because Spurs weren’t in the Champions League this season… And he was going to leave soon cause his contract was up.
Boy said what "man said" like we don't posses ouŕ own ears.
Because he couldn’t get into the team and the club were actively looking to move him on..
Spurs catching strays. To be fair he's bringing the Spurs DNA to Bayern
brilliant content, Eric comes across very well, interesting guy
Eric is going to be a great manager in the future!
Please get rid of the intros I hate spoilers
It’s very popular with KZhead videos
@@andrewstorm8240 & I don't like them
Agreed... very annoying.
You can fast forward them lol
Quick intro would be okay, but the repetition is irritating. Do think that I am watching this during a football game and cannot concentrate on what is happening?
Phenomenal interview.
Top Guy! Great speaker too
Thank you for your kind words about Sporting, it´s a really special club.
Loyal servant to Spurs and respectful 🙌 got a lot of time for Eric 👏
15:50 put that on Gary's tombstone. He says it so much
He is one of the best operators in football though, as you will see in the coming years as all his hard work is going to start paying off now.
@@davidthompson9141😂 how?
They cut out Leroy sane because he was in Bayern's new home kit lol though I completely didn't notice the new kit!!!
Seems like a top top bloke. And i really like that despite him not playing a lot of games for a few years, he seems to still love football, which is great.
Brilliant interview. Dier comes across as a genuine lovely, intelligent. kind bloke. This was great!
Doesn’t have a bad word to say about any one here. He’s seen positives in every topic brought up
great interview
Great interview and what a good guy Dier is. Intelligent and thoughtful
With Philips going through a tough spell and Henderson playing in a weaker league with an out of sorts Ajax, I'm a bit surprised Southgate hasn't paid more attention to Dier since his move to Bayern.
Love Eric. Hope him and Harry do well in the UCL. COYS!!!
really good footballer, lovely passer of the ball first touch etc. he did struggle a bit with his mobility, and defensive awareness. what a bright guy though. everyone loved it when he jumped in the crowd to protect his brother.
Kyle walker did not go through the academy at Tottenham he came through at sheffield united
Great content again. Good to see this side of Dier
He has shown decent performances at FC Bayern München. He literally stays calm and his far distance passing often calm the defense....plus activate counterattacks due to the precision. I definitely feel more secure with Dier than Upamecano. And Minjae Kim still hasn't reached the level he had in Napoli. Due to many small things....
Great servant for Spurs. Good luck with the rest of your career Eric.👍
Great interview with great player and character.. I knew he was good, but he exceeded my expectations with bayren.
Class guy, the likes of Sancho etc should take note of this guy's professionalism.
Brilliant
4:43 u can see the new home kit for new season
Wym?
@@vicyet6002they cut the scene out. u could see sane wearing the new jersey in the background with a photographer
There is a reason why Mourinho and Conte played him every minute of every game…
Cause they had no one else?
Neither Mourinho nor Conte played him every minute of every game.
Mourinho played him because Levy was so cheap and didn't give him a proper CB, look at Spurs now, they have 3 proper CB and Dier no longer needed
Perhaps they saw the personality he is . But that’s a flawed approach. Every time I listen to an Eric Dier interview , he will never fail to impress me by his maturity and he should be a very intelligent chap . BUT as a Center back , if Spurs wants to progress , Ange is correct , Dier is just not good enough . He did ok at Bayern but nothing more . Now he is in Bayern first team , Dier is telling everyone he deserve an England slot . No , still not good enough . He could be a very good coach in the future though . Also in the Amazon documentary, it seems to me Mourinho is looking for leaders in the Spurs team and 2 names came out ; Dier and Sissoko ! You can see how Mourinho approach his team building but that’s not the way I see as necessary good
@@cheeboonlim2192watch bayern play, watch dier play. Hes been incredible the last 10 games. Hes been amazing in the UCL.
What a guy!
Always loved him at Spurs. Unique qualities as a footballer. Great qualities as a person.
Dyer is one intelligent man, he has a professional mindset, he s disciplined and if he put a tackle in you know you have been stopped, he can do a serious job for any team he plays for, including england, they cannot all be like stones, Lanzared.
Great bloke, obviously had his up and downs with us at Spurs but could never fault his effort every week on the pitch. Wishing him all the best for the rest of his career. And please Eric, knock out them Gunners. Once a yid, always a yid
Phenomenally edited
Great Interview Dier...good luck against the south LUNDEN team
great video
Listening to him speak, I looked up where he grew up. I did not realise that he grew up in Portugal.
my favourite spurs player for years man! Good luck Eric.
What a guy.
Love Eric Dier. Favourite person in football to listen to
Non spurs fans may not know but dier is really a great guy and a fantastic person to have in the dressing room by all accounts. Which comes across in this interview
I love Dier !
I really hope Tottenham bring him back as a ambassadors when he retires, such a great down to earth guy, good luck to you Eric in Germany
He trashed Tottenham a couple times here lol he’s so happy that he left
This is why ur club will never go anywhere… Dier as an ambassador🤣🤣
@@micah.101I wouldn’t want him as a ambassador he been forced out the club by the fans
hes gone to be harry caddie
Kyle Walker didn’t come through the Spurs academy. He was at Sheffield United from the age of 7 until he was 19.
He’s so articulate ¡
Good interview that , "ye know"
Surely he deserves to be in the england squad at least, i cant name any other defender apart from stones that are considerably better than him
Holds himself really well. Was a great servent at spurs
Servant or serial bottler, only thing he's remembered for is going to fight in the crowd
spurs fans wanted him out
@@johnp8388 Eric literally says all agreed it was time…obviously didn’t watch it
@@Piqueblinders11 Ask Spurs fans if they wanted to keep dier.
@@johnp8388 spurs are better off conceding 50 goals with world class defenders Mickey can't defend and red card romero
Dier going to Bayern and benchint Kim and Upa is crazy
We love him here in Germany. Definetely should be in the English team!
Great interview this I think he will come back to the Premier League maybe somewhere like Newcastle or Brighton.
4 million quid spurs paid for him absolute steal and he played over 300 games for the club fair play to him decent bloke all round!!
Always been one of my favourite personalities in football
Get him in that England team over Maguire
English team is crazy to pick all those CBs and leave him out...He's actually in a better form than all of the current CBs
Great interview and Dier comes across really well, but I can't help but laugh how 3 months in germany has already changed his accent hahaha
Never noticed a German. He’s always had an accent as he grew up in Portugal.
He's always sounded like that. Watch the Spurs All Or Nothing series
This guy is very methodical and clever. Has very good points about upbringing in a proper way
3:37 did Sané just leak next season's home shirt???
What a top bloke eric is
Great lad good interview
