RAUL REVEALS SOFTER SIDE IN NEW MAG
Posted on: Thu 01 Dec 2011
Raul Meireles talks to the official Chelsea magazine (the latest edition
is in the shops today) about his 'mean and moody' demeanour not being
representative of his style of play. The midfielder also discusses his
late summer switch from Anfield to Stamford Bridge and a surprising
penchant for the dulcet tones of James Blunt.
Given the Portuguese international's distinctive Mohican hairstyle,
coupled with a clear fondness for tattoos and body artwork, you could be
forgiven for thinking Meireles is a recent graduate from the Billy Bremner
school of combative midfield play. But you'd be wrong.
'Maybe my style and how I look is a lot more aggressive than my
personality,' he tells Chelsea in the main feature. 'I know people in
England like players with a lot of aggression, but I don't think I'm that
kind of player. I have a lot of other things that can hopefully help the
team out.'
Having moved his family down to the capital shortly after his transfer
deadline day move, Meireles has been embracing all the weird and wonderful
attractions which the city has to offer, but for a man who can talk three
different languages there is still one part of London life he is yet to
get to grips with.
'I like the lifestyle in London. Everybody has their own style and nobody
cares. Cities like this shine because they have lots of people here from
different countries.
'How do you say it? Cockney? I don't know, I will ask some of the guys to
teach me. The accent here is maybe a little bit easier to understand than
in Liverpool.'
Unlike the majority of his peers, Meireles was a relatively late starter
when it came to actually playing the game. There was no stereotypical
'jumpers for goalposts' tale and even at the age of 15 his career path
remained unclear.
A spur of the moment decision made by his father, purely in the hope it
would keep the youngster entertained and out of trouble essentially turned
out to be a life-changing moment, and the midfielder admits that it could
have worked out very differently.
'My dad put me into football to pass my time, that's it. I didn't know
what football was until he did that but it's turned out quite well,' he
said.
'I worked and studied as well. I'm a lucky guy for how it turned out so I
make sure I enjoy my football. I was a mechanic. Maybe that's what I'd be
doing now if I hadn't become a footballer, but I don't really think about
it that much.'
Away from the field of play, Meireles is a devoted family man, and while
he is residing in a different country he is only too aware of the
importance of respecting the values and traditions of others.
With the festive season almost upon us, however, he is unlikely to be
getting too excited given the fact that he and the rest of the squad will
spend Christmas Day preparing for the visit of our west London neighbours
Fulham on Boxing Day, as opposed to stuffing their faces with turkey and
all the trimmings, although it's unlikely the Meireles clan would be going
down that particular route in any case.
'We have black cod at Christmas, that's the tradition in Portugal,' he
said. 'I think traditions are important at this time of year which is why
I understand we have to play lots of matches in England. It's really good
to see all of the families at the matches with the Christmas spirit, and
to see people dressed up as Santa.'
Delve into Spackman's photo album
Former Blues midfielder Nigel Spackman, who enjoyed two different spells
at the club, talks Chelsea readers through his photo album, including
scoring a memorable penalty against Arsenal during the 1985/86 season, as
well as a gruelling pre-season workout at Harlington.
Catch up with Gronkjaer
The former Danish international, and scorer of a famous goal in the
history of the club, talks to Chelsea about coming back to the Bridge as
an opponent, a brief flirtation with Gianluca Vialli and the 2002 FA Cup
Final defeat to Arsenal.

Coe looking ahead
Sebastian Coe, in his exclusive column, looks back at the past month while
also looking ahead to next summer's Olympic Games, in particular the
football part of the competition. Coe feels the fact there is a Great
Britain team competing in the football will really capture the imagination
of the public and swell interest.
Frank talking
Frank Lampard's Q&A session at the Annual Lunch is featured on page 53,
where the midfielder talks about his love for the club, his desire to
surpass Bobby Tambling's goalscoring record and his hopes and aspirations
for when he finally hangs his boots up.

Academy prospect
This month, the youngster under the spotlight is Alastair Gordon, who
cites John Terry as the player he tries to model his game on. Gordon has
been playing at right-back more often than not of late, but his
versatility means he is equally comfortable in midfield. Find out how the
16-year-old is progressing on page 54.
War is over
Somewhat uniquely, the latest edition of the magazinealso examines the
impact watching a game of football had in helping people get their lives
back on track in the aftermath of World War Two.
And there's more
As if all of that wasn't enough, Broadcaster Jonny Gould recalls a magical
afternoon at Old Trafford and members of the 1984 squad remember lending a
hand to help publicise a local production of Cinderella at the Wimbledon
Theatre. Keep your eyes peeled for a certain wing wizard dressed as the
main character.
All this and more in the new edition of Chelsea, priced at ￡3.25 and
available from the Megastore and all good newsagents.
