PLAYER / MANAGER with Julian Gressel & Zealand is a podcast about what it’s really like to play with Messi & co. at Inter Miami, MLS and soccer in North America and beyond.
Inter Miami’s Julian Gressel is a 2x MLS Cup winning player and Zealand Shannon is the #1 Football Manager content creator in the world.
Like the great Player-Managers of the past: Kenny Dalglish, Ruud Guillt or Pete Rose - Julian & Zealand are dual-threat playmakers inside and outside the lines.
Yuuup, that pass was honestly Messi like lol! One of my favorite players growing up was always Thomas Muller, Julian reminds me a bit in his playstyle and assists to Muller!
Love seeing you guys on this platform! ❤ Gressel, you are criminally underrated! Without you Inter Miami would not have had the run they did this season. You've been a rock, providing crucial stability while the players have been dropping like flies with injuries left right and centre. Hope you clinch the Shield soon, and good luck with going for the points record too! (Sadly don't have anything clever to say, but maybe you'd rather not ship that shirt all the way to Europe...)
I love this pod. Grateful for Zealand’s flow and humor, and the behind-the-scenes vibes Julian shares with us. Hope to see many more episodes leading up to the 2026 WC and maybe you guys can do a tour of the new Freedom Park when it opens. 🩷🖤
This is so cool. I remember being a kid watching soccer and wishing to know more about my favorite soccer heroes. Fast forward to the present and I can watch a player I follow give us a peek of what happens behind the curtain. Thank you for doing this 🙏
So the first ever authentic jersey I ever bought was this Miami third kit - but with Messi (sorry, Julian 😅). HOWEVER, I have followed Julian’s career since his Atlanta days and I am a very big USMNT fan, so I was really excited when he become eligible and then when he got to play for the national team, I thought that was really cool. My Opa moved to the U.S. as a kid after WWII so my family really has a soft spot for German-Americans. When Julian became a free agent after last MLS season, I saw on him on some free agent list and instantly I was like, “Oh, he’s going to Miami.” I just knew with Tata’s familiarity, Julian’s positional flexibility and being a free agent, I knew he’d want to play with Messi and try to win another title. And what team can attract the best free agents more than Miami? So I was excited when that become official and I was also stoked when this podcast was announced. I’ve been listening since episode 1 and I usually just listen to the audio version but I had to drop by on RU-vid to enter the giveaway. Keep up the great work, guys! 🇺🇸⚽️🇩🇪
Roses are red The jersey is blue Send it my way I’ll wear it when I watch you play It’s the shirt I want the most Please send it in the post Of all jerseys this is the best I bring the support You do the rest #Miamichampions #Juliansjersey Much love from Sweden Ps yes my first name is actually Love 😂
I hope to win the jersey and Julian Gressel is my wife’s hall pass. If I win, then in a way both of our dreams come true! Also, we’re traveling from AZ to next Saturday’s game against Charlotte! Can’t wait to watch from the front row!
I’m only for Messi and don’t believe what that guy said something to the guys performance better ! because inter the Miami team won’t any game before messi came to Miami !! and this guy was playing before Messi season and inter the Miami and he doesn’t resolve anything in that time for the inter the Miami team whatever cheer up he said it 😅👍
Loving the podcast! 🎧 As a Providence alum and longtime Friar fan, I’ve watched Julian since his college days, and he’s definitely one of my players to watch! His contributions have been vital in many pivotal moments this season, helping keep Inter Miami in the hunt for the Supporters Shield. Let’s take a moment to appreciate the team's achievements and keep the momentum going! 🙌 God bless, and Go Miami!
I have been listening to the podcast since day 1. Mostly on Spotify and mostly on my run. It has been my number one podcast to run too. Julian is my second favorite inter Miami player besides Messi of course😂. I also got to see you inter Miami play and it was incredible. I would love to win this jersey to add to my collection.
The more I listen, the more I appreciate the podcast. Didn't know Zeeland before, but think he's great in the role. Been watching Gressel since DC United and happy to see him kill it at Miami. Julian, ich hoffe, dich bei einem der nächsten USMNT-Camps zu sehen. Du wärst eine großartige Bereicherung für das Team!
