What’s this commentating all about?

I am working for TNT Sport on their Serie A coverage of Como versus Juventus this evening. Over the past few decades, I have been fortunate enough to work on Serie A for various television networks, and I have always enjoyed covering the league.

As a co-commentator, I provide expert analysis during the game and collaborate closely with the main commentator to add value and knowledge to the pictures you see on the screen (Hopefully!)

Preparation is key, so commentators spend considerable time ensuring they have every angle covered for the game. As a co-commentator, my work before the game isn’t as extensive, but I still follow my routine to feel well-prepared.

I’ve attached my prep sheet for tonight’s game. Years ago, I adopted the format from the excellent @JimProudfoot, who works for Talksport and other media organisations. When we worked together, prior to one particular game at West Ham, I somehow managed to spill his coffee all over his notes, but that’s another story! The look on his face…..!

I spoke to Osian Roberts, the Technical Director at Como FC, to gain some background on the club for tonight’s match. He kindly shared valuable insights into the developing story of a “David v Goliath” scenario in Serie A. Hopefully, this will enhance the coverage and add flavour to their game against the Turin giants.

From Bankruptcy in 2016/17, Como FC started the 17/18 season in Serie D yet managed to gain promotion last season to play the big boys in Serie A, and tonight it’s Juventus!

With Cesc Fabregas as manager, Indonesia’s wealthiest family as owners, and a stadium with a backdrop to die for, Como FC is well-placed to continue its rapid rise within Italian Football.

Thank you, Osian, and good luck to your boys tonight.
