Ryan R. (USA):
Do you have a nickname?
“A lot of people call me Kobs, yeah. Kobs.”
Terry M. (UK)
I want to ask you about your pre-match routine. I’m always curious to know how professional athletes prepare themselves mentally and physically before a big game.
“I mean I’m not very superstitious. I try not to be superstitious. So I just kind of do what happens. I have the same meal and that’s about it. I have pesto, pasta and salmon but, other than that, I just kind of do what I do. It’s not whether I’m not wearing the same underwear. I don’t have a lucky pair of underpants or anything like that. I just, you know, try to prepare what I do, listen to music.”
Some fans have asked which type of music you listen to?
“I like Drake at the moment. A lot of old Drake stuff, like the slower stuff. The more chilled stuff before a game. I don’t really like to get hyped before games. I like to just relax.”
Carlos G. (USA):
What’s something you’ve learned from playing alongside Casemiro?
“I think just to scan even more because I feel like he sees things before everyone else does. And, playing with him, sometimes he might give you the ball and you’re not expecting it. So I think it’s having to just be knowing what he’s thinking and always scanning so, whatever he thinks is happening next, I can try to be as quick and to be clued up as to what he’s thinking to do next. So I can try to get in the right positions and stuff and be around him. Thanks, Carlos.”
So does that just develop over time, obviously the more you play together, the more you gel?
“Yes I guess so. I mean in training you can see it a lot in the way he moves the ball so quickly and the way he sees these passes that not many other people see. So I try to watch him closely and see when he’s looking, when he’s scanning and when he’s looking and what he’s seeing, and try to pick that up in my game so I can be effective as well.”
Christopher S. (UK):
If you could pick one skill attribute of any other Manchester United player what skill would it be and why?
“Maybe Rashy’s speed. Yeah, he’s rapid isn’t he [laughs].”
Natalie K. (Zambia):
If you weren’t playing football, what would you be doing?
“I don’t know, Natalie. Something like another sport maybe. You know, I think I’d have to be doing something physically because it’s just what I’ve always enjoyed other sports and also football. So probably another sport. I don’t know. I’m not sure what but I would find something.”
Adam M. (USA):
If football never existed, which sport would you play, Kobbie?
“I like basketball but that’s tough in the UK, I guess. Maybe, I don’t know but I like combat sports as well, like boxing and stuff like that. I did a little bit of that when I was younger.”
So you used to box?
“Yes, a little bit. Just training and stuff.”
Tyler R. (UK):
Who’s your closest friend in the squad?
“Maybe [Alejandro] Garnacho or Amad. Yeah, or maybe Willy [Kambwala]. A lot of the young guys, lots of the young lads. Rasmus [Hojlund] as well.”
Mekhi M. (USA):
What other sports teams do you like to watch in your free time, Kobbie?
“I follow boxing. I like UFC as well. Basketball, there’s a few. Yeah, there are a few sports that I like. I mean I try but with the times with them, with the American sports, the times and stuff mean it’s tough to stay up but I try to follow them as closely as I can.”
The boxing the other night was on late…
“Yeah and it was the night before a game. But we were all talking about it in the changing room before.”
Do you think Anthony Joshua can be the world champion and beat Tyson Fury in the future?
“I’m not sure. I’m not sure as I think Fury is very technical, isn’t he? But it would definitely be a good scrap. I’m looking forward to that.”
