The football presenter whose brilliant Luis Diaz interview silences the anti-woman brigade
The TelegraphAlex Aljoe received praise for her impressive bilingual post-match interview with Liverpool’s Luis Diaz, seamlessly switching between English and Spanish and translating the Colombian’s comments for viewers at home. Pundits have come under fire at times for their post-match interviews in recent years, such as Jürgen Klopp’s repeated attack on TNT Sports, to Joey Barton’s criticisms of female presenters including Eniola Aluko and Gabby Logan. In the aftermath of Liverpool’s 4-0 win over Xabi Alonso-managed Bayer Leverkusen to move top of the new Champions League, as well as sitting at the summit of the Premier League, Aljoe epitomised the broadcast skill of the post-match interview. She asked about the goals, Liverpool’s position, Diaz’s form in a central role, and his need to find the match ball, which had apparently gone missing.
