Experiencing this as a reporter is fascinating, but at the same time frightening. It's a good thing that the joy of football makes you forget your worries for a while.

For me, as a British citizen and supporter of Manchester United, the English celebrities in particular were worth a short interview, not just from a journalistic perspective but also on a personal level. The video with Ottmar Hitzfeld after the Swiss team's first victory in Lens and the interlude with the Swiss record goalscorer Alex Frei in the House of Switzerland in Paris will also remain unforgettable.
The first night in Montpellier, team's accommodation one day before their arrival, was unspectacular but extremely interesting. The next morning I exposed myself as a journalistic spy with a detailed hotel review.
