As part of OneFootball’s collaboration series with Shoot Music we’re interviewing an artist every week about their love of football.
This week it’s Tottenham fan Kidwild and Manchester City supporter Blanco.
When did you start supporting your respective teams and why?
Kidwild: I began supporting Tottenham in 2015. I was inspired by a friend’s dad who had a season ticket and took me them to a first game.
Blanco: I’ve always watched football. I was a MOTD magazine (& others) kid cutting out footballer portraits and sticking them on my wall but didn’t have a strong admiration for a particular team. I had a lot of Robinho posters so when he came to Man City I watched and supported them to be different. I didn’t know where we would end up.
Do you think your teams have what it takes to topple Liverpool this season and win the Premier League title?
Kidwild: I think Tottenham can win the Premier League title. I’m unsure if they will do it this season but I’m biased so I’ll say, yeah they can do it.
Blanco: I mean it’s not Liverpool we have to topple it’s Arsenal they’ve been the best team for three seasons and have gotten stronger while we’ve regressed. They have the best 25-man squad however if we get a RB & RW in the January transfer window we could be in the conversation. Since Donnarumma’s arrival we’ve kept clean five clean sheets in seven games so our defence is one of the best in Europe. If Haaland keeps scoring then we could win silverware
Talk to us about that Europa League win last season. What were your emotions at full time?
Kidwild: At full-time it’s the best I’ve ever felt. I have never seen the team lift a trophy before, so it felt so good after that win.
Do you think this is likely to be Pep Guardiola’s last season in charge? And if so, who could replace him?
Blanco: I can’t predict Pep’s state of mind he’s all over the place so I don’t know. But the best appointment I believe is Kompany or Fabregas. Kompany makes sense as he has a playing style similar to Pep’s but he’s just signed an extension (at Bayern). I do personally prefer Fabregas’ philosophy.
Why do you think Tottenham have had Man City’s number in recent seasons?
Kidwild: Tottenham has just been the better side when paired with Man City in the Premier League in recent seasons. I reckon it’s that simple.
Blanco: I think Tottenham are the best at playing on the counter against us because their players are very athletic and quick. We play a high line and have slower players so it’s been a recipe for disaster. I don’t think it’s going happen again with Khusanov, O’Reilly, Gvardiol & Dias with Nico Gonzalez in the midfield.
Tell us about your new song ‘Remontada’ ….
Kidwild: The new song is named ‘Remontada’ which means comeback in football competitions. It’s inspired by Jude Bellingham’s use of the term while at Real Madrid. I felt the song had the same feeling so felt it was right to name the song that.
Kidwild and Blanco’s latest single ‘Remontada’ is out now.
