Joe Cole knows a thing or two when it comes to inhibiting attackers. The former Chelsea midfielder was a genius in the hole and possessed brilliant vision and passing skills to unlock opponents.
He also speaks from the heart when analysing current matches as a pundit and has grown his standing with Blues fans after emotional verdicts on the club, their performances and staunch defending of players. As a pundit at the World Cup he also brings international expertise having donned the Three Lions shirt before as a player himself.
In Qatar he has also offered advice to Portugal, not just Gareth Southgate, and Graham Potter will be one of those interested to hear his views. Speaking before the Euro 2016 winners faced Switzerland in the last-16, Cole explained why Cristiano Ronaldo has been struggling as well as offering advice to Fernando Santos.
