Stuart Smith was very lucky to be joined by Tokushima Vortis' J2 winning manager, and soon to be Urawa Reds manager, Ricardo Rodriguez to talk about the 2020 season and his coaching ideas.

Rodriguez discussed: 

- The reasons for Vortis' triumph

- Balancing the difficult Corona-impacted schedule

- Building relationships

- Why the crazy 4-3 defeat at Ehime was good

- Why he's excited about Urawa
