4. Jemez Claims He "F***ing Hated" Being Asked To Play Long Balls By Managers When He Was A Player
Part of the reason behind Jemez's possession-football philosophy is that he hates players hoofing the ball aimlessly upfield (so be warned Mike Williamson). In fact, Jemez once stated that: "When a coach asked me to kick the ball long I f***ing hated it, because what I liked was playing football." As has already been mentioned, Jemez was essentially a frustrated midfielder playing at centre-back - and he likes the sides he manages to dominate possession in order to control the game.
