At Tottenham, at Bayern, and now Monaco, Dell is known for his cohesion figures in the locker room – which also helps him master multiple languages, learn French, in addition to English, Portuguese and Spanish. Since his wife Anna is South African, he is still learning Afrikaans. But he is most proud of being a good teammate and leader.
"I know everything I do, and everything I'm doing, like behind the scenes," Dell said, then added: "You know when Kompany first arrived at Bayern, you're 30 years old, but you never get old, and I really agree with that because first of all, it's very right - no matter how old you are, try to improve and learn. This open mind is extremely important. ”
This even extends to Dell's visit to Monaco's famous youth training academy—where Killian Mbappe, Thierry Henry and Lilian Tulam all came from—a similar to the academy he had lived in Portugal Sports because he had begun his own coaching journey and wanted to work with young players.
"I'm thinking (coaching), and the best time is now, while you're still playing, because you have everything you need, the entire club's system can help you. I was very familiar with John McDermott (FA Technical Director) when he worked at Tottenham and he helped a lot. ”
"I want to be a head coach, not a regular coach. I want to be responsible. This is not certain, I just want to prepare for that choice. If it comes true, I hope I'm ready. This is the hardest job in football, and that's what attracts me. "
" This is a completely different job than being a player. A lot of football experience you have accumulated may be of great help to you, but the job requires something very different. You have to treat it with great humility, just like when you first started to get into football at the age of eight or nine. "
So, will we still see this thoughtful pro-European back to England? "I'm 31 and can play for many years," Dale said. "But if you told me two years ago I'd be here... in the world of football you can never plan. You know, this is what we live now. I don't think it's easy for all involved, especially for those with families (his wife and 18-month-old daughter have moved with him to Monaco). "
" But this is the profession, this is the job. Like many other jobs, that's the case. In football, you never know what will happen, you don’t even know what will happen next week. I truly believe this. ”
"I have seen it many times. The key is to take one step at a time, keep moving forward, take care of your body as much as possible, and do your best to perform well, and other things are a little beyond your control. So, your career will take you on a beautiful journey, you just have to follow the wind. ”
