- On this week's "Friendlies", Sam Mewis speaks with Manchester City defender, Alex Greenwood, about playing for Everton and Manchester City as a lifelong Liverpool fan, how women's football has changed in England following the Lionesses 2022 Euros win, and what makes this year's Manchester City squad so special. They also play a game of "So You Think You Know Scouse?", where Sam tries to guess the meaning of well-known Scouse phrases.

Another great interview with someone I have only seen play but not interviewed. She is so fierce on the field, and seems so kind and humble off the field. Keep up the great work, Sam!!
Alex and Lucy Bronze rock on the pitch. No joke these ladies GOT GAME!!!!! I love our USA team but I really enjoy watching the Lionesses.
The Sam - Alex friendship is delightful
Alex Greenwood is very underrated. My favorite at Man City (along with Yui) and my favorite Lioness.
100% absolute leader
Agree with you. She is so underrated. Do you remember the team had to play without her and it looked like quite different team. She is a strong leader.
i genuinely thought she was irish or scottish until you said scouse because of her rolling r's and using "you'se" . absolutely adore her, she and williamson is probably the strongest passing defense in the world, her left foot and her vision are absolutely insane, and what a nice person she is off the pitch as well. love her.
How could she be Irish or Scottish playing for England? She is one of the most notable Lionesses 😂😂
Alex is a fantastic player. always fun to watch. i had to turn the subtitles on though 🤣♥♥♥ great interview.
Oh I have to figure out how to turn the subtitles on
Sam! Thank you so much for this interview, two of my all-time favorite players! #City is the WSL and Premier team that I root for. I've been an Alex Greenwood fan since watching the Lionesses in the 2019 WC. I did my best to watch every City WSL game I could while you and Rose were there on the team. Seeing you and Alex together on my favorite WSL team was so awesome.
I had the pleasure of meeting you briefly in KC a couple of times during your short stint with the Current. I was crushed when you announced your retirement. I wish you all the best!
I thought the interviewer looked familiar, and it was Samantha Mewis, who I liked and played for the US women's national team! I didn't know she was best friends with Greenwood. Greenwood is now a teammate of Yui Hasegawa at City, the team I support. Women's soccer values friendships with friends and the circle of friends is expanding. It's wonderful. As a fan of women's soccer in Japan, I look forward to seeing it develop.
Fantastic interview with Alex, really explored her career with the tough times and good times and we all learnt Scouse phrases
Great job interviewing Alex GREENWOOD, Sam!
She is the Greatwall defending Manchester City. Go Manchester City! 🌹⚽️🇬🇧👍🤩
As a City fan, getting you, Rose, Alex and Abby on the squad was amazing, and made lockdown so much easier!
Thanks for this interview. Alex is one of my favorite players. She has more than once put her team "on her back" and willed them forward. I started watching women's soccer back in the days of Mia Hamm, whose eyes reminded me of Franz Beckenbauers's eyes surveying the pitch. It is great to see Alex participate in a well-structured in-depth interview (you really did your homework Sam!) and she is a very well-spoken representative for women's soccer, and for soccer in general indeed! All the best to you both! Pity though about the US bowing out of the host competition.
Thanks for the "like". If you can how about watching the upcoming Bayern-Wolfsburg game. The game will feature probably most of the German players going to the Olympics as part of their national team and I think a lot of folk would like to get your take on them, and how well we match up--and, of course, there' the Lyon-Barcelona game to review as well.
I am in love with these interviews
she’s class
omg!! 1000 thanks Sam for this interview!! Alex is one of the best soccer player, unfortunatly she is underrated. We need more interviews from her. she's smart, good talking even her scout accent😂❤🤗🏴🐐
Scouse. It's what we call people from Liverpool 😊
Hello Sam. I praised Alex already in comments on the trailer for this video, but that was another great chat.
For some reason getting clobbered on the field made me think of Georgia Stanway, who I still watch playing for Bayern Munich on DAZN from UK.
It is thirty years since I was New York, which is like two ages of your next guest!
Winning the Euros seems akin to how the US fans remember the '99ers, decades later it is a moment frozen in time and memory. As a USAer the Lionesses win is another moment I always remember as a monumental shift for women's football.
Suggestion next time you do a 'What does this word mean?' segment maybe spell the word out so we can tell what you are actually saying? BTW, loved how Alex genuinely laughed so hard on the clobbered[sic] definition by Sam.
Great interview, I've never actually seen an interview was Alex. She was a good interviewee, very open
Alex is such a great player!! Thanks Sam!
Another great interview! Loved the game and the laughs.
SAM!!! This was your best interview yet!! so good!!
I love all your interviews Sam. You're just a natural and seem to put in the work to research and line up good topics to discuss. I will say that I randomly decided to watch on CZcams instead of listen to the podcast and had no idea you had a proper interview setup with multiple cameras, lighting, etc. Very nice! Maybe it was being at man city and using their facilities but in any case it was properly professional 👊
Sam Mewis was awsome playing for CIty, huge presence, most of the fans were desperate for Rose to get more playing time too but it seemed she started with an injury and couldn't force her way into the starting 11 as often as we as fans would have liked. Lets hope Alex can lift that trophy with Steph this year.
That midfield was packed.... Keira, Sam, Stanway, Weir, Lavelle, Coombs, Jill Scott....
Thank you for this, amazing interview! Alex Greenwood is MASSIVELY underrated. An absolutely key player for Man City, definitely one of the key players for the Lionesses. Her vision for her passes are insane. You rarely see any player get past Alex, she will stop you in any way possible. So glad she gets some recognition and gets interviewed, doesn't happen nearly enough! Enjoyed both the questions and the answers immensely!
What a brilliant interview, Alex is a special player. This could be the year City wins the WSL.
could be it will be especially after Liverpool beat Chelsea last night and even if its not I'm proud of city
I don't think I've seen much of Alex off the pitch and what an underrated player and a kind, humble person to.
Awesome interview as always! I would love if you could interview Katie McCabe!
Amazing interview! I was there in Wembley for the Euros Final and wow I can’t describe how amazing was! I was also in Lyon when we won the WC 2019.. but the English fans were really something else! Really love this podcast/channel Sam! You’re killing it 💥🔥
Thanks for the interviews with 2 of the City girls!! Glad your trip to Manchester was a work trip. Keep up the great work, Sammy!
Future Lioness Manager?? Great interview AGAIN Sam. You have a knack of getting guests to open up.
Just to set the record straight Georgia and Janine scored in extra time after both Georgia and Jess came on as substitutes Jess set Georgia up for the first and Georgia set up Janine for the third great interview again Sam
Thankyou both.Alex such great woman and player.I wonder where she’ll go after her retirement..I know that’s premature..!,,but! I think her career could sky rocket afterwards.Such a great feeling.So much too offer..Such passionate ,warm and open players.
Sam with another hard hitting interview. I love the way you love your friends!
She's such an incredible player and so underated. Also the ultimate hype woman. ❤
Aw, GREAT podcast Sam!! Alex is an underrated legend of the Women’s game…a real Superstar, and soooo lovely too 😍
Having watched a few of these interviews by Sam, the over 30 players real add valuable context and background to 'the women's game's. The current young stars are great for like a real time situation newsie interview. But ya.... ... can't wait for Sam to do exit interviews with likes of Marta and Kelly O.
Love these interviews cause I had NO idea she had that accent.
Love this interview. ❤😂
What a lovely interview between old friends :)
Huge congrats sam on getting alex on ❤
18:21 Great question and honest answer, -thank you Alex. Excellent interview.
This is a delightful interview❤
Awesome pod cast Sam. You have an amazing personality. 😊
Australians use both chocka and clobber in the same way as Liverpudlians! Great interview as always.
Great interview, I enjoyed learning about her story
I would love to hear more about the letter they wrote to their government regarding girl's soccer after they won. Interesting to compare that to the USWNT whom only seem to talk about the inequalities THEY experience. The Lionesses understand that change happens at the youth level. Great interview, Sam! What an honor for you to have played with her at City.
Alex is a BALLER! No one works harder on the pitch. Her accent is 🔥
I love her speech 😍😍
Great way to start my morning 😌☕
Thank you
this interview
Always great interview...was surprised to see how down to earth Alex is. Only comment as Sam gets more comfortable it would be great if she was reading from script so much.
Love you both ❤
The clobbered comment killed me
Nice ❤❤❤
We need subtitles for Alex's accent
I don’t know if you’re from the US or England, but trust me, most English people (including my Manchester self) have difficulty understanding a Liverpool accent!! 🤷♀️😂
@sammewis can you ask Alex or any of the lionesses if they would consider playing for the NWSL. 😁
She is a really good player , and City have a great chance of winning the title now ...
Sam these podcasts that you're doing g are magnificent, you're the bosta.
I hated that year. Rose Lavelle is my second favorite footballer.
If you ever get the chance, I would LOVE to see you sit down with Ellen White, another football star whose career ended too early.
Alex sign for Liverpool one day please ❤
i doubt she will leave city now I'm calling she is the next city captain now steph is retiring
ALEXXXXXXXXXX
Next keira walsh.
Did you do Mary Fowler while you were there? 💚💛
Oh i'd love to her an interview with Mary or Lani or both.
@@nikkyzett2158 Yes, love Lani too. I wish she did more media, she's so good at it
the accent....oh my. hope they win the league now. lol
Come on Citeh🌊🌊🌊🌊🩵
It looks like you’re reading most all of your comments and questions that I would think are in your head and experience. Having notes to remind is understandable, but this goes beyond. What’s going on with that?
If that's your biggest takeaway from her interviews, perhaps you're better off finding another sports program to watch.
@@bryter777 Biggest takeaway?
A moment of appreciation for Sam: She was not only a phenomenal player during her football career but is now becoming an insanely talented interviewer.
I love how we now get to listen to players we have been watching for so long.
I cant wait to see where her career takes her! GO SAM! 🤍
