3
00:00:37,440 --> 00:00:42,720

00:01:19,680 --> 00:01:25,040
Patreon guys, you should definitely join the family, we've got a WhatsApp chat that's popping,

11
00:01:25,040 --> 00:01:30,400
we have a few too many Premier League fans in there I think right now, we need some Serie A

12
00:01:30,400 --> 00:01:35,040
soldiers right now guys. We've got three slash four Prem heads, one of them is Mintov, I wouldn't

13
00:01:35,040 --> 00:01:40,240
consider him a Prem head. He's a, I think he appreciates Italian football. But look the

14
00:01:40,240 --> 00:01:45,680
the Prem heads that are on our chat, no ball, they do, they do, they're not too biased, they call

15
00:01:45,680 --> 00:01:52,080
their league the best league in the world which is obviously something that they say to make

16
00:01:52,080 --> 00:01:58,320
themselves sleep better at night. Shout out Tonno, shout out Theo, shout out Santi, our three Prem brains.

17
00:01:58,320 --> 00:02:05,520
We've got one of our patrons coming to Malta boys, I doubt it's to see us, I'm sure maybe we were

18
00:02:05,520 --> 00:02:11,520
some kind of factor in the decision making maybe, but we're going to a festival together, we might

19
00:02:11,520 --> 00:02:17,120
do a little, I don't know, a little night out or something. That'd be fun, go to the beach, relax a bit.

22
00:02:30,720 --> 00:02:35,120
discussion, it's a vibe, you know and everyone's hilarious in there bro, the Andy guy kills you.

23
00:02:35,120 --> 00:02:42,720
Andy's fucking hilarious but just tell them man. Tell them what? Oh yeah, Sandro. Sandro, yes all

24
00:02:42,720 --> 00:02:47,600
right you're right and he's gone, the guy in our intro video, no you are not listening to the Sam

25
00:02:47,600 --> 00:02:52,960
Premelan podcast, this is. Shout out to Sam Premelan podcast, you guys are amazing. They're great,

26
00:02:52,960 --> 00:03:00,240
shout out to Wally, shout out to AJ, all amazing. Tonali to Newcastle for about 80 million euros,

27
00:03:00,240 --> 00:03:04,640
90 million euros, 70 million euros, depends on who's reporting it. I think the latest figure

28
00:03:04,640 --> 00:03:10,800
was about 80 million euros with bonuses. Now before we get into it bro, initial reaction.

29
00:03:10,800 --> 00:03:17,040
Initial reaction, no devastated. Initial reaction, Sandro Tonali is my favorite player in the world.

30
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:25,760
I adore him, I adore everything about him, I adore his industry, I adore his passion, his work ethic,

31
00:03:25,760 --> 00:03:33,200
his skill set, how much he's grown, I'm going to miss him tremendously. Now that the news has settled,

32
00:03:33,200 --> 00:03:39,920
I understand that the markup is remarkable. I understand that if another Seria team probably

33
00:03:39,920 --> 00:03:46,960
went in for Sandro Tonali, the price tag might have been 40 million euros at most. I understand

34
00:03:46,960 --> 00:03:53,600
that Milan need the money and that with that money they can reinforce into other talent and if there's

35
00:03:54,240 --> 00:04:01,840
one core member that you would remove for 90 million euros, don't let it be Layout, don't let

36
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:08,000
it be Mike, don't let it be Theo, unfortunately it has to be Sandro. Yes, when you look at the

37
00:04:09,200 --> 00:04:14,240
players that Milan could sacrifice to make a markup, of course there aren't many because you've

38
00:04:14,240 --> 00:04:19,760
either got your superstars who you shouldn't be selling like your Layouts, your Theos and

39
00:04:20,560 --> 00:04:24,880
then you've got the ones who won't sell for that much, your Salamakers, your fucking

40
00:04:24,880 --> 00:04:32,560
Calun, the early days, but then you've got certain players who are rated very highly,

41
00:04:32,560 --> 00:04:39,040
certain players who are rated more than their actual value. They would have a certain profile

42
00:04:39,040 --> 00:04:45,200
which is them being young, Italian, for example. For me there are two players that Milan could

43
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:52,400
choose to sacrifice to cash in on, Tonali and Tamori. Now people would say that okay,

44
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:57,680
Tonali was the future captain, he was a bandera for Milan, he would have stayed for life,

45
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:02,000
salary wasn't an issue with him. It's true, but you have to remember that. It's valid,

46
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:08,800
it's a valid argument. But again, football is a business. Again, and I don't want to go on about

47
00:05:08,800 --> 00:05:14,800
how the soul is gone from the game because when you look at the past, the history of Milan,

48
00:05:14,800 --> 00:05:19,520
the players that were always closest to the fans' hearts have always left apart from okay,

49
00:05:19,520 --> 00:05:23,920
you've got the rare ones, you've got Maldini, you've got Barezzi, you've got all those,

50
00:05:23,920 --> 00:05:28,000
you've got the legends. Although you've got those two absolute icons. Sure, and then you've got like

51
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:32,800
the likes of Nizag, you got Tuso, but they were only, they came to Milan at a time when Milan were

52
00:05:32,800 --> 00:05:37,680
winning a lot. So there was a reason for them to stay and there was a reason for Milan to keep

53
00:05:37,680 --> 00:05:42,160
them because they were the highest level and probably at the time offers above their wealth

54
00:05:42,160 --> 00:05:49,840
didn't come in above their value. We must remember that we need to keep a cool head guys. People need

55
00:05:49,840 --> 00:05:55,280
to keep a cool head. You can't freak out because of a decision like this. You know, you look at

56
00:05:55,280 --> 00:06:01,840
Kaká, Shevchenko, these guys, all the great Milan players were always sold. And so it's nothing new,

57
00:06:01,840 --> 00:06:07,760
football isn't dead, you know. The thing is as well that you need to remember that Tonali had

58
00:06:07,760 --> 00:06:12,880
agreed personal terms with Inter before joining Milan. So when you think about the plastic,

59
00:06:12,880 --> 00:06:18,800
artificial nature of football and Milan selling this guy who bleeds Milan, at the end of the day,

60
00:06:18,800 --> 00:06:25,360
this guy who bleeds Milan was very close to joining Inter. Very close. Yeah, I remember that. To me,

61
00:06:26,080 --> 00:06:32,640
now as much as obviously in a romantic world, we've got Locatelli, we've got Calabria, we've got

62
00:06:32,640 --> 00:06:38,160
Tonali, we've got Colombo, Cutrone, all these youths that came through the rankings and would die for

63
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:42,240
Milan and they suddenly became the best team in the world. But that's not realistic, is it? At the

64
00:06:42,240 --> 00:06:48,880
end of the day, football teams are not family, they are sports teams and sports teams must do what it

65
00:06:48,880 --> 00:06:54,480
takes in order to stay ahead of the game. Continuity is good, shaking things up sometimes is even

66
00:06:54,480 --> 00:07:02,720
better. Now, a weird decision considering that Milan never replaced Kessy and now they just remove

67
00:07:02,720 --> 00:07:07,520
Tonali and it's like Benassar is injured and then he comes back and there's the African Cup of

68
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:15,600
Nations. It's like what's going on here? I trust that with improvement in mind, there are replacements

69
00:07:15,600 --> 00:07:22,560
in mind and that maybe, I don't know, Frattesi, Seco, maybe some people will come in. I don't

70
00:07:22,560 --> 00:07:29,920
care as long as the team improves. That's the important thing. That's all. And for us to see if

71
00:07:29,920 --> 00:07:34,800
the team is going to improve, we're going to need to wait not until the end of the transfer window

72
00:07:34,800 --> 00:07:40,800
but the end of next season. That's how long we need to wait, maybe even longer. Yeah, that's a

73
00:07:40,800 --> 00:07:47,760
valid point bro. Yeah, if Thuram is brought in on a free for example and the Milan have 90 million

74
00:07:47,760 --> 00:07:52,960
to splash on top of the allocated budget, we don't know how much that is and you need to bring in

75
00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:58,800
Amit Fielder at Recuartista and the right winger. Let's say Thuram is a down deal for example,

76
00:07:58,800 --> 00:08:04,320
which it isn't. Kamada is very close as well on a free as well. So that leaves right wing and

77
00:08:04,320 --> 00:08:08,320
center mid and you've got 90 million on top of your budget. But they're going to need two

78
00:08:08,320 --> 00:08:15,040
center mids man Milan. That's actually right. But again, it's good money. It's an offer you pass

79
00:08:15,040 --> 00:08:19,200
it. But again, it's good money. It's an offer you can't refuse. It is. It is. It is. It's an offer

80
00:08:19,200 --> 00:08:23,600
you can't refuse. Like I said, it's 50 more than any Italian team would have spent on them. Honestly,

81
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:28,000
if you have a player who's worth 50 million at most and an offer of 80 million comes in, you have

82
00:08:28,000 --> 00:08:32,400
to set them man. It's as simple as that. And at the end of the day, Sonali had to give his go ahead to

83
00:08:32,400 --> 00:08:35,520
leave anyway because Sonali could have put his foot down so that I'm not going anywhere and he would

84
00:08:35,520 --> 00:08:42,160
have stayed. Yeah, I'm a total emotional mess because I'm going to miss Sandra and I'm going to

85
00:08:42,160 --> 00:08:49,440
miss his industry, his passion, his professionalism, his maturity. But at the end of the day, like we

86
00:08:49,440 --> 00:08:55,520
said, it's a sport. We move on. We get the money. Hopefully it gets invested in the right places.

87
00:08:55,520 --> 00:09:01,120
Yes. Speaking of money, what do you make of the Saudi league, bro? And the Premier League pundits

88
00:09:02,560 --> 00:09:07,280
Carragher and Neville saying the Premier League should boycott the Saudi league. What are they

89
00:09:07,280 --> 00:09:14,080
talking about? What are they talking about? Now, salary caps should be put into place for these

90
00:09:14,080 --> 00:09:18,800
financial powerhouses who get all their money from the oil industry. Salary caps should be

91
00:09:18,800 --> 00:09:27,760
implemented. However, what's this? We say football is for everyone because players from the favelas

92
00:09:27,760 --> 00:09:33,520
come, players from Africa come and they win trophies and they're accepted in Europe and

93
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,280
everywhere. It's a beautiful sport. But what? So they're not allowed to go and play in Saudi

94
00:09:39,280 --> 00:09:43,760
Arabia. All of a sudden, I thought football was for everyone. The passion for football and the

95
00:09:43,760 --> 00:09:49,280
love for football in the Middle East is massive. Look how well they did in the World Cup. They

96
00:09:49,280 --> 00:09:52,880
were the only team in the World Cup to beat Argentina but got knocked out of the group stage.

97
00:09:53,440 --> 00:09:59,760
Ronaldo joined and now top players are joining. Good for them, man. Good for them. And I hope the

98
00:09:59,760 --> 00:10:04,880
Saudis get to enjoy these guys because they haven't gotten the opportunity to enjoy shit when it comes

99
00:10:04,880 --> 00:10:11,120
to football and what a year they've had, man. Good for them. Yes. Honestly, why not? This is no

100
00:10:11,120 --> 00:10:15,920
different to the MLS. This is no different to the Chinese Super League. This is no different to your

101
00:10:15,920 --> 00:10:21,920
Premier League. Your Premier League is the Super League. Your Premier League poaches the best

102
00:10:21,920 --> 00:10:28,480
players and the best talents from other leagues around the world overpaying and inflating fucking

103
00:10:28,480 --> 00:10:32,640
prices to bring these guys in. And now you're saying to boycott a league that's going to compete

104
00:10:32,640 --> 00:10:38,000
with you financially. Definitely not. That's not fair. Football again should be for everyone,

105
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:45,440
like you said. So come on Al Nassir. Come on Al Hilal. Come on Al Itihad. And come on Al Lahli.

106
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:50,480
And you know what? Come on Al Shabaab as well. Come on all you guys. All the Rs, bro. Al Shabaab.

107
00:10:52,560 --> 00:10:58,000
You know what it is, bro? You know what it is? Racism? Question mark. Yes. I genuinely think

108
00:10:58,000 --> 00:11:05,840
that it's straight up racism. Fuck you racists. Come on Saudi Arabia. Come on the fuck.

109
00:11:07,920 --> 00:11:11,040
So let's keep going through the round-ups. We're never going to get to these thoughts on Flops

110
00:11:11,040 --> 00:11:14,880
on the street. It's true. Dabala and Matich had an interesting back and forth on Instagram that was

111
00:11:14,880 --> 00:11:18,240
entertaining. They were roasting each other. Matich was telling Dabala that he can't speak

112
00:11:18,240 --> 00:11:21,920
Italian. And Dabala was telling Matich that he never gave him an assist. That was interesting

113
00:11:21,920 --> 00:11:26,160
to see. You don't often see people that go back and forth on social media for so long, especially

114
00:11:26,160 --> 00:11:33,120
celebrities of that caliber. So we know that Indica has joined Roma. Listener Francesco says

115
00:11:33,120 --> 00:11:42,480
they would have been better off signing Sativa. He's so funny, bro. He's fucking good, man.

116
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:48,000
This guy, Cesco, whenever Milan scores, he sends a GIF of two dudes making out and he goes,

117
00:11:48,000 --> 00:11:57,040
Jake and Matt right now. Not that Francesco. Oh, he's fucking funny as well. I fucking love

118
00:11:57,040 --> 00:12:04,240
to call him Cesco. He's Chit Show dog. Francesco says Instagram name. He's Chit Show. Love you,

119
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:08,960
Chit Show. Thank you for listening, brother. I love him like that. But yeah, Vicario to Spurs

120
00:12:08,960 --> 00:12:14,240
is a done deal for 19 million. We will miss you. The most underrated goalkeeper. Those are my two

121
00:12:14,240 --> 00:12:18,160
favorite. If you listen to this podcast, you know, Todd Ali and Vicario are my two favorite

122
00:12:18,160 --> 00:12:24,000
players in the league. No, and they're both fucking gone off to the prim. So Milan and Inter are

123
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:29,760
battling it out for Thuram Frattese and at one point even Lukaku. But Lukaku has pushed the idea

124
00:12:29,760 --> 00:12:36,960
of signing of joining Milan away and has put pressure on Inter to actually out try to buy him.

125
00:12:36,960 --> 00:12:41,600
Juve are in for way out, which is funny that Juve are in for way out and Milan are in for Thuram.

126
00:12:41,600 --> 00:12:48,720
How bad? They only had one season where he got over 10 goals for Milan. How many does way out?

127
00:12:48,720 --> 00:12:53,840
Way out has like three goals a season. But he's been to be fair to way out. He's been kind of

128
00:12:53,840 --> 00:13:01,360
molded into a right back nowadays. Ananas agent has met Man United. Italy's under 21s were robbed.

129
00:13:01,360 --> 00:13:05,760
They were two one down to France and Bellanova's header crossed the line, but there was no goal

130
00:13:05,760 --> 00:13:10,320
line technology. There was no VAR and there wasn't even a person watching the line as there should be.

131
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:16,000
Madonna man. It was absolutely shambolic. Where's the consistency man? And the last thing we're

132
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,880
going to say, it's impossible to get into everything of course, is that patron Alan says Palermo's logo

133
00:13:20,880 --> 00:13:28,000
looks like an airline company. It's true. Did you see Atalanta are playing Burnmouth? That's another

134
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:35,040
good one. And they yeah it's two women getting their hair down basically. It's a shampoo derby.

135
00:13:35,040 --> 00:13:41,120
Exactly. All right. I love these episodes. So guys I know we told you were getting sloppy,

136
00:13:41,120 --> 00:13:45,760
toppy, toppy loppy or whatever the hell we said in the intro. But what we're going to be doing is

137
00:13:45,760 --> 00:13:52,560
going all the way from Napoli down to Sambdoria in 2022-2023 Serie A. And we're going to be naming

138
00:13:52,560 --> 00:13:59,600
the team's tops, flops, their unsung heroes, their best wins and their best their worst losses sorry.

139
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:05,520
Me and Drake prepared these separately so we're going to be probably agreeing a lot but maybe

140
00:14:05,520 --> 00:14:12,560
arguing a hell of a lot. So without further ado, let's go. Shall we get into it? Napoli top and I

141
00:14:12,560 --> 00:14:21,680
hate that we probably agree on this. Three, two, one, Ozymen. You can't have a 26 goal season and you're not the top.

142
00:14:21,680 --> 00:14:29,040
Gavara came in okay. He was the league well supposedly the league's MVP but Ozymen in my

143
00:14:29,040 --> 00:14:32,640
opinion was league's MVP. He was one of the best players in the league, the most creative player in

144
00:14:32,640 --> 00:14:37,920
the league. He got like 12 goals and 13 assists. He was the top assist this season. It was his debut

145
00:14:37,920 --> 00:14:43,680
season. He's young, he's Georgian, he came out of nowhere. All that is impressive but Ozymen had 26

146
00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:48,880
goals. They just flung the ball up whenever the fuck they wanted, wherever the fuck it went to

147
00:14:48,880 --> 00:14:53,680
and Ozymen got the ball and scored. That's what happened. Exactly, exactly. You give Ozymen the

148
00:14:53,680 --> 00:14:58,640
ball anywhere he's going to turn it into a shot at least. Exactly. At least and no matter the angle,

149
00:14:58,640 --> 00:15:03,440
no matter how tight it is, he was a one man army up front and finally managed to get some consistency.

150
00:15:03,440 --> 00:15:07,680
Granted he got injured when it really mattered the most for them when they were pushing for that

151
00:15:07,680 --> 00:15:11,760
Champions League and that's actually why they probably got eliminated from the Champions League

152
00:15:11,760 --> 00:15:16,080
because he would have definitely stretched me that open and don't say because he was back for the

153
00:15:16,080 --> 00:15:20,960
second leg because Ozymen was most definitely not fit enough to play that second leg. Exactly and

154
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,840
he still scored. He played like 96 minutes and he still scored at the end. Give me a break. He's a

155
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:32,240
monster. Ozymen performed all season after Gvarackelia was put into Davide Calabria's

156
00:15:32,240 --> 00:15:37,360
pocket. He didn't score a single goal after that so let's keep it Ozymen. Ozymen is the top,

157
00:15:37,360 --> 00:15:43,920
Gvarackelia great player but Ozymen takes it at Serie A spotlight. Exactly. Flop. So I have

158
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:50,720
Hirving Lozano. Fair enough, didn't have much high expectations for him to be honest. I'll just say

159
00:15:50,720 --> 00:15:56,960
he's yet to establish himself as a clear starter and it seemed like he was at a point favored

160
00:15:56,960 --> 00:16:02,400
ahead of Poletano but I have to say they shared the spoils this season and I think when Poletano

161
00:16:02,400 --> 00:16:08,960
came on he looked even more dangerous. Yes I agree. And Lozano, keep in mind the players that he was

162
00:16:08,960 --> 00:16:14,880
around only got three goals and three assists in 32 matches and his goals came against Bologna,

163
00:16:14,880 --> 00:16:19,040
Empoli and Cremona. Bologna was in the first half of the season when they were shite. Very good bro

164
00:16:19,040 --> 00:16:23,440
and that's a very fair shout and apparently he's off to he's off to Saudi Arabia now.

165
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:38,800
Love that shit bro. Love it. Now for me it's Raspadouri. Raspadouri. It's a harsh one,

166
00:16:38,800 --> 00:16:43,440
two goals two assists in the league and didn't really have much of a sniff but when you look

167
00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:50,000
at the way Ozymen and Simeone exploded when they were on the pitch and you see Raspadouri how he

168
00:16:50,000 --> 00:16:55,920
struggled to kind of cement himself. The fact that he kind of fits awkwardly into the team that he

169
00:16:56,560 --> 00:17:00,960
like we've discussed if it's better in a two striker kind of formation. You see a left wing,

170
00:17:00,960 --> 00:17:05,600
you see a striker, does he play behind the striker. Seemed kind of awkward, played well in Europe but in the league

171
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:10,560
failed to really establish himself. Now any flop you pick on the Snopoli team is going to be a harsh

172
00:17:10,560 --> 00:17:14,400
one. I just picked him because I had to pick someone because in reality I would have put NA.

173
00:17:14,960 --> 00:17:21,280
Exactly fair enough. Best twins bro now of course a new requirement. No Unsung. Unsung hero. This is a

174
00:17:21,280 --> 00:17:26,880
new one I think it was a really nice start. It's a nice addition I think. Lobotka. Lobotka absolutely. Stanislav.

175
00:17:26,880 --> 00:17:32,480
Yes, Napoli's strength this season was their tempo, possession and control of their matches and he was

176
00:17:32,480 --> 00:17:38,000
pivotal in all of those things. He even broke down play phenomenally and the way that he connected

177
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:44,080
the defense to the attack was masterful. His forward passing, mamma mia what a player. What a player.

178
00:17:44,080 --> 00:17:49,760
A proper metronome and he's come so far from the Gattusa days where Gattusa basically called him a

179
00:17:49,760 --> 00:17:54,240
fat short guy with a big forehead and now all of a sudden he's killing it you know Lobotka.

180
00:17:54,240 --> 00:17:59,200
Absolutely man. It's good to see the recovery. I think he's top three in his position easily in the

181
00:17:59,200 --> 00:18:05,440
league. I think this season he was the best number six. I think he was the best regista. Very similar

182
00:18:05,440 --> 00:18:12,320
industry to Banaser. Yes absolutely. Now when it comes to the best win of course you have what Napoli

183
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,440
didn't knew about. We're going to be focusing on Syria. I'm just going to tell you now they beat

184
00:18:15,440 --> 00:18:23,200
Ax. You know we did mention I have some out of Syria. Really victories. I have some yeah

185
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:29,120
because they would have outshone everything else. You'll see. For example the Fiorentino ones.

186
00:18:29,120 --> 00:18:35,040
You'll see. Six one against Ax, four one against Liverpool. These were all great results for Napoli.

187
00:18:35,040 --> 00:18:41,040
I think domestically their three one win versus in the third match of the season was a massive

188
00:18:41,040 --> 00:18:49,280
confidence boost and a massive. It set the tone no? Yeah man. It's a massive fuck you to all the

189
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:56,640
doubters. Everyone that doubted Napoli and that criticized their Mercato and the Deportures and

190
00:18:56,640 --> 00:19:01,520
everything that was done there. Yes. I definitely understand the importance of that game. However

191
00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:06,240
you can't look at their five one win against Juve after the World Cup break. I'll not say that

192
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:12,880
that's their best result. They had their first match of the season after the World Cup against

193
00:19:12,880 --> 00:19:18,720
Inter and they lost right? Whilst Juve had just won eight matches in a row without conceding

194
00:19:18,720 --> 00:19:23,840
including victories against Inter and Lazio. When they matched up we're like oh my god Napoli's

195
00:19:23,840 --> 00:19:29,840
second loss of the season question mark? No. Five one against a team that had only conceded seven

196
00:19:29,840 --> 00:19:34,400
goals that season. To be fair I forgot that game and they fucking dismantled. They absolutely

197
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:38,160
dismantled them fair enough bro. Their worst loss is an easy one I didn't even have to research it.

198
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:45,200
Yeah four nil. Four nil. And the the reason why isn't just because they beat Milan four nil but

199
00:19:45,200 --> 00:19:49,440
because it had just been announced that they were going to play each other twice in the Champions

200
00:19:49,440 --> 00:19:55,200
League quarter finals and that victory really really really set the tone for Milan and it really

201
00:19:55,200 --> 00:19:59,600
put Napoli on the back foot. They were on the back foot by halftime with Spalletti losing

202
00:19:59,600 --> 00:20:07,440
his mind at Laos. That is the only Milan match I missed this year. The four nil? The four nil.

203
00:20:07,440 --> 00:20:12,240
You're joking. That was the only Milan match I missed that year. I woke up at four o'clock in

204
00:20:12,240 --> 00:20:18,800
the morning to watch it. I was in Australia. We were in this shitty hotel to be honest in Cairns.

205
00:20:19,840 --> 00:20:25,280
I hate how you say that. You have to because it's not Cairns and it's not Cairns it's not Cairns.

206
00:20:25,280 --> 00:20:32,960
It's Cairns. That's it. You need a block nose to say it. Literally. And there was no wi-fi.

207
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:38,880
I didn't have my 4G on my phone because I was on my Australian sim and I couldn't get it to work

208
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,920
and then I woke up first thing in the morning to check the result and I was like what the fuck

209
00:20:44,560 --> 00:20:51,520
happened man. Yeah bro. Terrible. What happens in Cairns stays in Cairns. Absolutely bro.

210
00:20:51,520 --> 00:20:56,800
We forgot to mention the rundown. Kim Minjae is probably going to buy Munich. Yeah. But we can

211
00:20:56,800 --> 00:21:05,920
move on to second place and it is Lazio. Number top for Lazio is quite difficult because they had

212
00:21:05,920 --> 00:21:10,560
quite a few good performers. I thought the centre backs were very good this season. I thought that

213
00:21:10,560 --> 00:21:15,040
Luis Alberto had a great season. Sergey was good too. I thought Sergey had a very good season

214
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:18,800
actually. Sergey was fantastic. And even when you look at the numbers and it's really come you come

215
00:21:18,800 --> 00:21:24,240
to realize like he was still good this season Sergey. Absolutely. Not as good as last season

216
00:21:24,240 --> 00:21:30,000
but he was still very good. Yeah because Immobile they formed that partnership and he suddenly

217
00:21:30,000 --> 00:21:34,640
didn't have Immobile to put the ball into but still equally as effective man. Yeah. It was

218
00:21:34,640 --> 00:21:38,560
fantastic. Bear in mind it's all just the contributions. For sure. There's also

219
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:43,280
Philipp Anderson who had a very good season but I'm just going to stick to Sergey Milyakovich.

220
00:21:43,280 --> 00:21:51,120
Savage for my top super dependable super trustworthy played 30, 40, 36 games scored nine

221
00:21:51,120 --> 00:21:56,640
goals and got eight assists and that for me is enough for him to be my top. When you watch Lazio

222
00:21:56,640 --> 00:22:04,480
you can't help but notice the tall mustached man from Serbia. Yes I agree with how good Sergey was

223
00:22:04,480 --> 00:22:13,360
this year. However what was the difference between the Lazio last year that finished around sixth

224
00:22:13,360 --> 00:22:20,160
and the Lazio that finished second this year. It's the fact that Zakhani was brought in and his form

225
00:22:20,160 --> 00:22:27,840
was magnificent. He out wide he added that flair that Lazio always always struggled with in previous

226
00:22:27,840 --> 00:22:33,680
seasons. Ten goals and seven assists weren't too shabby either but it's more about how active he

227
00:22:33,680 --> 00:22:39,600
was how he was moving the ball forward how direct he was and his 10 goals bro he had goals against

228
00:22:39,600 --> 00:22:45,360
Napoli Milan Atalanta Lazio Roma and Juve. Super season. Give me a break like to me it's Zakhani.

229
00:22:45,360 --> 00:22:50,080
Incredible season by Zakhani who played as well the vast majority of the games.

230
00:22:52,240 --> 00:22:57,040
Honestly it could be either or could be Sergey it could be Zakhani depends on what you prioritize.

231
00:22:57,040 --> 00:23:06,800
Fair enough flop now for me bro. I just got a glimpse of what you wrote. Bro 12 goals and five

232
00:23:06,800 --> 00:23:13,200
assists should never be a flop right should never be a flop but when you look at the fact that this

233
00:23:13,200 --> 00:23:19,280
guy last season had 36 goals and the season before 27 goals and it keeps going like 20 was the

234
00:23:19,280 --> 00:23:26,480
benchmark right for Immobile for his for this recent career in Syria. This season not only

235
00:23:26,480 --> 00:23:34,640
did he not get the numbers but he was wasteful he was invisible at times. I was very disappointed

236
00:23:34,640 --> 00:23:40,880
with Immobile this season and I'm sure many Fanta Al Anatoly thank you thank you my god

237
00:23:41,600 --> 00:23:47,520
Nazer Martini. We're disappointed as well bro because you know you want to see Immobile

238
00:23:47,520 --> 00:23:54,400
banging them in. Yeah he did flop he did yes absolutely my flop is Luis Maximiano 100. Oh my

239
00:23:54,400 --> 00:24:04,240
god it was comical. I can't believe that was last season. Six minutes into his debut he picked the

240
00:24:04,240 --> 00:24:12,240
ball up outside his box got a red card and he didn't start another game in Syria that season.

241
00:24:12,240 --> 00:24:20,400
And Providel. Six minutes one red card. Providel came in from fucking Spezia and he was insane for

242
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:24,880
them and he got the most clean sheets in the league and I think the fewest goals conceded.

243
00:24:24,880 --> 00:24:30,400
And probably if Maximiano had not done that he might have had the most clean sheets as well

244
00:24:30,400 --> 00:24:37,680
because Lazio were that impenetrable in the defense. I completely forgot about that guy.

245
00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:41,840
It's too comical it's way too comical. God knows what happens to him I'm sure he's already gone

246
00:24:41,840 --> 00:24:48,480
like I doubt he's in Rome. Yeah unsung hero. For me it was between Ciasale and Romagnoli.

247
00:24:48,480 --> 00:24:55,120
Okay you would decide on one? Yes I put Ciasale because he gets less recognition of course Romagnoli

248
00:24:55,920 --> 00:25:03,360
is very celebrated and very loved he has a good reputation. Ciasale for me had a fantastic season

249
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:08,480
partnering up with Romagnoli to form a very formidable defense. He came from Hellas Verona

250
00:25:08,480 --> 00:25:16,080
and he held his own near his solid captain. Yes very very good and as an unsung hero I fancied

251
00:25:16,080 --> 00:25:20,560
it quite a lot choosing Ciasale or Romagnoli especially Ciasale I agree with every single

252
00:25:20,560 --> 00:25:26,240
point you made. However I went with Felipe Anderson because losing a capo canoniere and

253
00:25:26,240 --> 00:25:31,600
leader like Immobile would be devastating for any team but Anderson showcased great versatility

254
00:25:31,600 --> 00:25:37,360
and consistency for once. He played right wing he played attack he played as a false nine and you

255
00:25:37,360 --> 00:25:42,240
know what sometimes Lazio looked even better with him on the pitch. Bro honestly very good shout

256
00:25:42,240 --> 00:25:46,320
Felipe Anderson had a great season and as you mentioned a consistent season and that's

257
00:25:46,320 --> 00:25:50,640
something that we're not used to seeing with Felipe Anderson consistency. Exactly okay good.

258
00:25:50,640 --> 00:25:57,440
Best win three two one four nil against Milan obviously. Now it might have been a terrible

259
00:25:57,440 --> 00:26:04,080
spell for Milan when Lazio beat them four nil because it was during that period that period

260
00:26:04,080 --> 00:26:10,880
that all Milan fans know and all Serie A followers know. However there has been a battle between

261
00:26:10,880 --> 00:26:16,400
Lazio and Milan over the past few years. We heard in that intro that Tonali goal against Lazio that

262
00:26:16,400 --> 00:26:21,440
gave them bragging rights and that won them the league and they had all those battles between

263
00:26:21,440 --> 00:26:25,760
Lazio and Milan over the years where they were both kind of flopping but both still fighting for

264
00:26:25,760 --> 00:26:31,120
Europe wasn't going to be Europa League Champions League and I really think that that final victory

265
00:26:31,120 --> 00:26:36,720
gave Lazio a lot and a lot of confidence man. Definitely definitely definitely it was that

266
00:26:36,720 --> 00:26:42,560
win and I think another good win was a victory over Roma when they moved up the second that was

267
00:26:42,560 --> 00:26:48,480
that was a good one for them as well. To be fair they had two massive victories over Roma

268
00:26:48,480 --> 00:26:53,440
two massive victories over Roma this season. The worst loss of course we have the European ones

269
00:26:53,440 --> 00:27:00,400
two one lost to AZ Alkmaar twice they had the five one lost to Mitaland I think domestically you

270
00:27:00,400 --> 00:27:04,640
either look at the three and lost to Juve because they could have totally given Juve more of a

271
00:27:04,640 --> 00:27:10,880
run for their money and the three one loss to Salernitana at home was also pretty bad. I agree

272
00:27:10,880 --> 00:27:15,440
with the three one loss against Salernitana I also placed a note here saying getting knocked out of

273
00:27:15,440 --> 00:27:20,480
the conference league after a double loss to AZ Alkmaar was devastating for the image of the club

274
00:27:20,480 --> 00:27:25,680
but then it did help them gain Serial success so you can't really choose that no it was a bit of

275
00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:31,280
a strategic one maybe by Salernitana. Sacrificing the Europa League for a Champions League finish

276
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:38,880
domestically is fair enough. More in your take notes. He would have poor guy he didn't know

277
00:27:38,880 --> 00:27:48,880
the number of points. Inter top three two one Lautaro Martinez oh my god oh my god yes yes

278
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:54,800
you went for Lautaro of course I went Lautaro bro he scored 21 goals and got six assists fair enough

279
00:27:54,800 --> 00:28:00,240
he was a monster like and when you look at Lukaku was misfiring for the vast majority of the season

280
00:28:00,240 --> 00:28:06,160
apart from the end they really needed to look out for Lautaro to step up. DiMarco is actually

281
00:28:06,160 --> 00:28:10,720
my unsung hero I might as well say it okay yeah he's my unsung hero because I thought that he kept

282
00:28:10,720 --> 00:28:16,400
Gorsens out of the lineup he was brilliant at transitioning on the counter he's improved massively

283
00:28:16,400 --> 00:28:23,280
in the final third and he's become a pretty fucking solid player DiMarco. When you consider

284
00:28:23,280 --> 00:28:29,120
that last season Inter lost Perisic and and they showed faith in Gorsens and then Gorsens started

285
00:28:29,120 --> 00:28:35,520
struggling obviously still carrying injuries so on so forth. Inter fans will all breathe a massive

286
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:40,960
sigh of relief to see someone like DiMarco stepping up they would have never expected it

287
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:47,680
they hated him in the beginning but what a player he proved to be his industry attacking prowess and

288
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:53,440
performances on the big stages in my opinion makes him interstop he did in the Serie A he did in the

289
00:28:53,440 --> 00:28:58,560
Coppa and he did in the Champions League and if you go back to Serie A spotlights earlier episodes

290
00:28:58,560 --> 00:29:02,800
you will find us praising DiMarco back when he was with Elas Verona and then saying that he would

291
00:29:02,800 --> 00:29:07,120
bench Perisic. Little did we know that Perisic would have the season of his fucking life

292
00:29:08,240 --> 00:29:12,320
but now he's only gone and benched Gorsens so there was some element of truth about his potential

293
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:19,280
because DiMarco for me is a fantastic talent. Now you said you're unsung hero so I'm going to step

294
00:29:19,280 --> 00:29:24,000
in and say mine before we get to the vlog. Can I guess one guess I have one guess is it Artjeri B?

295
00:29:24,000 --> 00:29:28,400
Yes it is. Oh yeah it was my second one. Obviously many thought he was finished as he was essentially

296
00:29:28,400 --> 00:29:34,720
forced out of Lazio last year at the age of 35 Milan fans didn't want him as well and he was

297
00:29:34,720 --> 00:29:39,840
being linked to Milan we actually spoke about that in the episode with Santi and Mintov but his

298
00:29:39,840 --> 00:29:44,720
experience improved the defense significantly when he came in he was to me the key reason as to why

299
00:29:44,720 --> 00:29:49,920
inter turn things around after their torrid start man after all those losses in a row and he came

300
00:29:49,920 --> 00:29:56,560
in that he really gelled that defense. Yes bro he was meant to be a backup but he ended up being a

301
00:29:56,560 --> 00:30:02,240
leader and that's always a good story when you look at Skriniar who was meant to be their best

302
00:30:02,240 --> 00:30:06,960
defender proved to be a liability because of his personality and the fact that he wanted PSUG

303
00:30:06,960 --> 00:30:13,120
you look at the person who was criticized for being signed he stepped up and he was the top

304
00:30:13,120 --> 00:30:18,960
for Inter at the back over there so honestly mad respect to Artjeri B after all he's been through

305
00:30:18,960 --> 00:30:24,960
beating cancer yeah coming back redemption season at Sassuolo and not only being scouted by Lazio

306
00:30:24,960 --> 00:30:29,760
picked up by Lazio and picked up by Inter and then pocketing Holland in a Champions League final

307
00:30:29,760 --> 00:30:36,800
that's quite massive. Massive he beat cancer twice by the way and he also earlier on in his career

308
00:30:36,800 --> 00:30:41,280
something not many people know when he was at Milan actually struggled with alcoholism

309
00:30:41,280 --> 00:30:48,320
oh yeah as well so wow just just an exemplary human being at Cherubi yeah shout out to Cherubi

310
00:30:48,320 --> 00:30:53,040
you're the man at Cherubi. Now you mentioned him so I'm just going to say who my flop is immediately

311
00:30:53,040 --> 00:30:58,320
Skriniar to me was the flop of the season for Inter he looked out of sorts in the beginning of

312
00:30:58,320 --> 00:31:02,640
the season and then confirmed that he'll be leaving the club on a free at the end of the season

313
00:31:03,280 --> 00:31:08,480
well sorry exactly leaving the club on a free at the end of the season and he was often left out

314
00:31:08,480 --> 00:31:14,000
of the starting 11 now keeping in mind that he was the club's captain Artjeri B was straight up

315
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:21,680
better when he came in. Fair enough bro I don't know I went to Gorsens of course Skriniar is a

316
00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:29,520
disappointment and a flop yeah obviously like but Gorsens I would have never guessed that Gorsens

317
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:35,680
you know wouldn't be able to get more minutes and rack up a few some numbers you know with Inter.

318
00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:40,720
Fair enough. So I went for him because he was simply he was so good at Atalanta and then he

319
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,240
was a shadow of his former self and it's weird because when you see him with the national team

320
00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:48,720
even with Germany recently he plays really well so there's something that's not clicking with

321
00:31:48,720 --> 00:31:53,280
him and then there maybe he's not understanding some some things that Nizaghi wants him to do

322
00:31:53,280 --> 00:31:58,720
maybe maybe I think he should get out to be to be honest especially with with Demarco there he's

323
00:31:58,720 --> 00:32:06,080
not going to get much luck. Fair enough. Inter's best win. Now I went for the 3-0 victory against

324
00:32:06,080 --> 00:32:13,280
Empoli. Their best win the 3-0 win against Empoli. Yes because it set off in the league of course

325
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:18,240
of course when you look at other competitions there's the super copa final where they beat

326
00:32:18,240 --> 00:32:22,960
Milan 3-0 there's the semi-final of the Champions League where they knocked Milan out of course

327
00:32:22,960 --> 00:32:29,520
but this 3-0 win against Empoli in the league was very underrated because it set off a chain

328
00:32:29,520 --> 00:32:37,760
of victories for Inter. They beat Empoli 3-0 and then won one two three four five six seven eight

329
00:32:37,760 --> 00:32:42,880
games in a row they lost to Napoli fair enough and then won another three so that Empoli victory

330
00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:48,400
came at a very tough time for Inter they needed a win they had just fucking drawn to Benfica they

331
00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,920
had lost to Monza it was going shit for them and not only fucking lost to Monza they had a few

332
00:32:53,920 --> 00:32:59,360
terrible results at that point and this win gave them the confidence to push forward that's why I

333
00:32:59,360 --> 00:33:04,400
put exactly keep in mind that's what kept them in the top four yeah that run of eight because it was

334
00:33:04,400 --> 00:33:08,400
tight towards the end of the season and that that victory I agree with you would would have said

335
00:33:08,400 --> 00:33:14,400
that all off I couldn't help but put the 3-0 win in the super copa italiana final and because that

336
00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:22,000
they they just demolished absolutely demolished and destroyed Milan their local rivals sure they

337
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:29,760
beat them twice in the champions league but to me that super copa italiana final winning 3-0 was

338
00:33:29,760 --> 00:33:35,760
devastating for Milan and what a party it must have been for Inter yeah most most definitely bro

339
00:33:35,760 --> 00:33:42,480
I can't even imagine what that must have been like as Milan fans we are used to seeing devastating

340
00:33:42,480 --> 00:33:48,160
score lines and finals yeah in recent years there was I'll never forget that time on the cruise bro

341
00:33:48,160 --> 00:33:54,480
oh when Milan were in the super copa italiana again final against Juventus and Mehdi Benatio

342
00:33:54,480 --> 00:34:01,680
scored two goals of two very dubious Donnarumma moments Donnarumma for four fucking nil man he

343
00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:08,560
was that was so I have two of the worst goalkeeper performances I have in recent memory barring

344
00:34:08,560 --> 00:34:14,320
Luis Maximiano but it's one of the best goalkeepers in history in my opinion Iker Casillas

345
00:34:14,320 --> 00:34:21,200
against Holland in the 2014 world cup if I'm not mistaken or was it the 2010 world cup damn you know

346
00:34:21,200 --> 00:34:27,280
one of those I can't really remember when Van Persie had that flying header little does anyone

347
00:34:27,280 --> 00:34:34,000
know that Casillas always struggled with collecting loose balls and getting out to command his area

348
00:34:34,000 --> 00:34:38,320
and he was well out of position over there and then Robin scored that goal and he had a bunch of

349
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:44,880
other mistakes and but the other one was that Milan Juve final Donnarumma was abysmal he was

350
00:34:44,880 --> 00:34:51,120
responsible to me for three of the goals you've just reminded me by mentioning Casillas and my

351
00:34:51,120 --> 00:34:58,000
brain went on a tangent so the king's cup had a crazy moment where Casillas was in goal and he

352
00:34:58,000 --> 00:35:07,520
wasn't even moving yes and Aguero ran up to him they do like a MLS style pen back in the day

353
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:10,800
exactly you run from the halfway line for those who don't know you carry the ball from halfway

354
00:35:10,800 --> 00:35:16,880
I believe you can take three touches and then you must shoot exactly this guy Casillas was like

355
00:35:16,880 --> 00:35:22,560
hands on knees just looking down like and then all of a sudden he just springs to life and saves

356
00:35:23,360 --> 00:35:31,920
saves yeah I was gonna say Aguero shot yes he stayed on his line it was beautiful that took

357
00:35:31,920 --> 00:35:36,480
me to another point this is going to be a senior world cup ah yes I saw that that's going to be

358
00:35:36,480 --> 00:35:41,520
super interesting apparently it's happening yes it's been confirmed and you'll be seeing the likes of

359
00:35:41,520 --> 00:35:47,840
Pirlo you'll be seeing I think even certain players like Cambiasso that's crazy man that's

360
00:35:47,840 --> 00:35:53,600
gonna be so much fun there are certain football players who probably stayed fit as well absolutely

361
00:35:53,600 --> 00:36:01,040
if Zidane plays I watch some classic matches sometimes like there was once like El Clasico's

362
00:36:01,040 --> 00:36:04,720
from from back in the day and they feel the same 11s that they would have fielded in certain

363
00:36:04,720 --> 00:36:11,360
seasons I see the way Zidane plays he's still he's still magnificent and so it would be you know

364
00:36:12,640 --> 00:36:17,440
very exciting to see some of our old heroes still playing man yeah definitely and it would be fun

365
00:36:17,440 --> 00:36:25,440
to watch them yeah nostalgia worst loss worst loss for Inter 2-1 to Spezia it started it started a

366
00:36:25,440 --> 00:36:30,000
winless run of six games yeah for Inter as well demoralized the shit out of them losing to Spezia

367
00:36:30,000 --> 00:36:36,800
is always a disaster as Milan fans we know yeah I think Milan played Spezia three times six times

368
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:42,560
sorry they have three wins and three losses my god my god so yeah we'll move on to Milan the top

369
00:36:42,560 --> 00:36:53,120
yes so top for Milan for Rafael Leal yes obviously yes yes yes yes yes for sure he's a one-man army

370
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:58,960
up front when he's on there's no stopping him he's absolutely unplayable last season's MVP

371
00:36:58,960 --> 00:37:05,120
he's a very good player very very good player to me okay he went through a bad spell there were the

372
00:37:05,120 --> 00:37:09,840
contract negotiations there were all there was all that Milan were going through a bad spell

373
00:37:09,840 --> 00:37:15,920
he was adapting to a switch in formation of three four three and he was playing very very centrally

374
00:37:15,920 --> 00:37:20,000
and very close to Giroud which isn't his strong suit especially after Piole got him used to playing

375
00:37:20,000 --> 00:37:27,120
out wide enough for a 3-3 to me he's Milan's x factor clearly Milan could afford to be patient

376
00:37:27,120 --> 00:37:32,960
in possession we used to see Milan when they didn't have the likes of a difference maker like

377
00:37:32,960 --> 00:37:38,400
Liao rushing to get into the box because they don't get many chances Milan can now afford to

378
00:37:38,400 --> 00:37:45,360
play patiently because they trust that when Liao is in a little bit of space they could exploit

379
00:37:45,360 --> 00:37:51,440
the defense Milan spent an entire game waiting for those moments so Liao to me has to be the top

380
00:37:51,440 --> 00:37:59,120
for sure yes agreed the flop for me is not Charles de Quattro I was I was considering the

381
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,040
Quattro because of course zero goals for a trequartista was brought in for 30 plus

382
00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:13,840
million euros is not a good look but but Origi was meant to be that player to rotate with Giroud

383
00:38:13,840 --> 00:38:18,400
yep Origi was meant to be a player that would start most games to be honest with you and he

384
00:38:18,400 --> 00:38:23,280
did not show that he was of course injury prone very unlucky but when he did play he looked selfish

385
00:38:23,280 --> 00:38:31,760
he looked heavy bro he looked heavy yeah yeah my flop is Origi as well he was signed for his

386
00:38:31,760 --> 00:38:38,080
Champions League experience I for goal and for his youth quite quite frankly because Zlatan and Giroud

387
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:43,600
being the other options they needed someone in his prime which Origi physically is in his prime

388
00:38:43,600 --> 00:38:51,840
but he often looked clueless he looked greedy and Giroud ended up playing two to three games a week

389
00:38:51,840 --> 00:39:01,040
because he was so useless which takes us to our unsung hero yes and I have two that's cheating

390
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:06,080
it was it was yes but I had to make a decision it was between Giroud and it was between Krunich as

391
00:39:06,080 --> 00:39:11,680
well now I ended up going for Krunich because when Krunich was out Milan suffered the worst losses

392
00:39:11,680 --> 00:39:16,080
and Krunich brought a lot of balance to the midfield the lack of a trequartista so Benassir

393
00:39:16,080 --> 00:39:21,040
pushing into that trequartista role and Krunich playing alongside Sandro Tonali in the middle and

394
00:39:21,040 --> 00:39:27,360
actually being super useful over there respect to Giroud 13 goals and five assists in 25 starts this

395
00:39:27,360 --> 00:39:33,840
season he was run to the ground by Piole of course because he had to be the player he was the only

396
00:39:33,840 --> 00:39:42,480
option for most of the time and despite his old age he still managed to deliver yeah now to me

397
00:39:42,480 --> 00:39:47,120
there are a lot that can be mentioned there's Benassir for his control, Cao for the improvements

398
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:52,640
he made to Milan's defense when he came in and Giroud for his surprising durability hold up play

399
00:39:52,640 --> 00:39:58,160
and his big game goals because those are the most important but Leal was still the top scorer this

400
00:39:58,160 --> 00:40:06,080
season however Krunich takes it for me Benassir and Tonali seemed to struggle to play together

401
00:40:06,080 --> 00:40:11,200
for a long time in the season especially when Milan were going through that bad spell but when

402
00:40:11,200 --> 00:40:17,600
Rade came in and Brahim moved to the wing the balance in the midfield was complete yes no

403
00:40:17,600 --> 00:40:23,360
matter what he did he did for the benefit of the team which is something I love about him something

404
00:40:23,360 --> 00:40:29,360
that like Igor could learn a thing or two from a player like Krunich I get why you said Giroud but

405
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:34,960
to me Krunich is just more unsung I went for Krunich at the end he was my oh okay he was my

406
00:40:36,480 --> 00:40:41,360
to me he's more unsung than Giroud to me Giroud was Milan's second most important player this season

407
00:40:41,360 --> 00:40:46,560
Giroud has a song Krunich doesn't exactly he's definitely Krunich should have a song though this

408
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:52,080
is this is our point like biggest win is very easy yes 4-0 against Napoli the only game I missed this

409
00:40:52,080 --> 00:40:58,880
season yes biggest loss you have the 3-0 Coppa lost to winter sucks to lose a final against arrival

410
00:40:58,880 --> 00:41:04,400
Milan went on to get trashed they also got trashed by Sassuolo and Lazio if you want to look at the

411
00:41:04,400 --> 00:41:11,760
domestic games I'm not sure because there's the 3-0 lost to winter there's the 5-2 home lost to

412
00:41:11,760 --> 00:41:19,040
Sassuolo there's the 4-0 lost to Lazio and Rome there's the 3-1 lost to Udinese there's the 2-0

413
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:28,720
lost to Spezia and there's the 5-0 aggregate loss to Chelsea we've had it tough Milan have really

414
00:41:28,720 --> 00:41:36,240
had it tough I think the set off was that 3-0 but you can't look at like a 5-2 home lost to

415
00:41:36,240 --> 00:41:41,440
Sassuolo and not say that's that's the most devastating loss this season fair enough fair enough

416
00:41:41,440 --> 00:41:50,000
yeah I think Sassuolo would be the worst one yeah I think so for the conceding five to Sassuolo

417
00:41:50,000 --> 00:41:57,040
moving on to Atalanta yes top coupe miners oh good shout good shout yours

418
00:41:57,040 --> 00:42:02,400
Luckmann Luckmann okay I struggled with it but he kind of disappeared towards the end well he

419
00:42:02,400 --> 00:42:10,720
struggled with injuries in q4 he was he was out injured essentially but he was insane for whenever

420
00:42:10,720 --> 00:42:18,240
he was fit 13 goals and eight assists leaving Duván and Muriel rotting on the bench they were

421
00:42:18,240 --> 00:42:24,160
terrible so having someone like Luckmann to me it was needed and he was the guy that got them back

422
00:42:24,160 --> 00:42:32,080
into the Europa League essentially and he was what anyone would fear about Atalanta fair enough yes

423
00:42:32,080 --> 00:42:36,960
for me coupe miners 10 goals for assists he's consistent he's dependable he's versatile he's

424
00:42:36,960 --> 00:42:43,200
a great player coupe miners takes the cake for me um flop for me was Duván Zapata it was between

425
00:42:43,200 --> 00:42:49,280
there no sorry I would say Muriel actually okay now they're both very similar how the

426
00:42:49,280 --> 00:42:54,080
fuck are these guys so finished at 32 years old I don't know at least Zapata occupies defenders

427
00:42:54,080 --> 00:43:00,080
in the box Muriel couldn't even do what he does best which is like hold the ball play a simple

428
00:43:00,080 --> 00:43:05,360
pass that would open the defense he's known for his high IQ play Muriel and this season he just

429
00:43:05,360 --> 00:43:09,920
simply did not have it now the only reason I didn't go for those two strikers that you mentioned

430
00:43:09,920 --> 00:43:15,760
because obviously anyone would consider them is because they had it good with Hoyland and with

431
00:43:15,760 --> 00:43:21,120
Luckmann up front so technically they were unaffected by how bad these guys were because

432
00:43:21,120 --> 00:43:26,240
they found their replacements no even though they were so good in previous seasons Duván and Muriel

433
00:43:26,240 --> 00:43:31,280
some of the best strikers in the league I was very disappointed by Musso this year and he's

434
00:43:31,280 --> 00:43:38,240
he's my flop um a shadow of his former self in my opinion um if it weren't for the defensive

435
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:42,880
approach I would have conceded way more goals and he was even dropped for Sporty along the last eight

436
00:43:42,880 --> 00:43:50,240
games of the season I don't think he made any remarkable saves I don't think he was confident

437
00:43:50,240 --> 00:43:54,960
I think that's what it boils down to his confidence he really didn't seem up to the task for me and

438
00:43:54,960 --> 00:43:59,760
for a top seven team they deserve a better shot stopper you see you watch Musso at Udinese and

439
00:43:59,760 --> 00:44:04,480
Musso in his first season at Atalanta is a spectacular shot stopper a really really good

440
00:44:04,480 --> 00:44:09,760
goalkeeper and because of that I would put him as my flop because he's typically so good and this

441
00:44:09,760 --> 00:44:14,960
season it's not that he was shit but that he flopped yes yes yes it's true it's true he

442
00:44:14,960 --> 00:44:27,120
definitely did flop um yeah fair enough yeah Unsung, Derun, good one, Scalvini okay I put Derun simply

443
00:44:27,120 --> 00:44:31,200
because he's the powerhouse of the team he doesn't get enough recognition he's always there he's

444
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:36,160
always in the in the squad and he always delivers he always plays well he always gives it his all

445
00:44:36,160 --> 00:44:42,320
he does a lot of dirty work for the team for me Derun is the unsung hero I think you don't mean

446
00:44:42,320 --> 00:44:49,280
Derun I think you mean Derun but sure to me Scalvini is the perfect example of a modern

447
00:44:49,280 --> 00:44:57,200
center back and he was massive when it comes to the way Atalanta played football this year with

448
00:44:57,200 --> 00:45:02,640
their intricate style of play it typically started from Scalvini when it comes to a center back

449
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:07,680
playing the ball out from the back which if you watch Serie A you know that that's how 90 percent

450
00:45:07,680 --> 00:45:12,400
of attacks are started it starts from the goalkeeper to the defense to the midfield to the

451
00:45:12,400 --> 00:45:18,800
attack that's how most goals happen in Serie A it's very intricate and very tactical Scalvini

452
00:45:18,800 --> 00:45:22,960
is the best in the league at doing that from the fence playing the ball out from fence Scalvini

453
00:45:23,760 --> 00:45:28,080
is definitely the best one and he's really really dominant in the air and keep in mind this guy's

454
00:45:28,080 --> 00:45:34,800
just 19 years old you know John Stones how he's being deployed in midfield for Manchester City

455
00:45:34,800 --> 00:45:39,040
could be Scalvini could be Scalvini could definitely be Scalvini Scalvini is definitely

456
00:45:39,040 --> 00:45:46,880
the most pep player in the league yeah I agree I agree yes bro it's also worth mentioning by the

457
00:45:46,880 --> 00:45:52,320
way as a flop Gasparini could be seen as a flop as well yeah yeah there were certain players man

458
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:56,960
like Sopi and Ocoli I would really like to see more of them hey man Sopi looked good when he

459
00:45:56,960 --> 00:46:03,760
played out Sopi looked decent is is he that guy that's going to be consistent is his industry

460
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:11,840
incredible is he a Gasparini wing back probably not but I think he had glimpses of goodness

461
00:46:11,840 --> 00:46:18,880
I guess I think he fits the mold I think he just Gasparini opted for his preferred options now

462
00:46:18,880 --> 00:46:25,520
his Hans Hattabers his Zappa Gustas yes best win for me 8-2 against Seller in the town you can't

463
00:46:25,520 --> 00:46:30,320
score eight in a game and that's not your best win it was a fucking party for sure and if you

464
00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:33,680
have to look at an opponent that they beat that was better than them it's a two-nil victory over

465
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:41,040
Latvia yeah agreed agreed worse loss is probably the one nil to Sasuolo because Mele and Muriel

466
00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,840
both got a red card Lorienta scored and Atalanta just failed to show up for that one oh that was

467
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:49,200
your birthday though that was my birthday that was your birthday we're singing karaoke and

468
00:46:50,400 --> 00:46:57,680
yeah baby for me their worst loss they got zero points in two matches against Lecce they lost to

469
00:46:57,680 --> 00:47:02,000
one at home and they lost to one away to me though that's devastating getting zero points

470
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:07,920
against a newly promoted team fair enough bro good let us know who's doing better guys comment

471
00:47:07,920 --> 00:47:13,760
on spotify we disagreeing a lot i like it fuck you man you're dumb you're an idiot you're dumb

472
00:47:13,760 --> 00:47:20,000
man you're fucking stupid bro jesus i listened to some podcasts where when they disagree with each other they start fighting

473
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:27,360
all out on each other like all out yeah we should do that we definitely should bro

474
00:47:28,320 --> 00:47:35,760
Roma Roma Roma top the ball easy he changed the team and there's a massive reason as to why

475
00:47:35,760 --> 00:47:42,880
roma are scoring from open play this season because of the ball at 12 goals and seven assists in seya

476
00:47:42,880 --> 00:47:49,360
in 25 games five goals and one assist in the europa league including a goal in the final

477
00:47:49,360 --> 00:47:55,600
while he was carrying an injury he also had a goal in the coppa italia yes bro that's fair enough flop

478
00:47:55,600 --> 00:48:01,600
three two one bellotti now easy tammy didn't have a great season but bellotti didn't score a single

479
00:48:01,600 --> 00:48:06,480
goal in seya single goal in seya for a player who was a prolific goal scorer for so many seasons

480
00:48:06,480 --> 00:48:11,840
yeah i think uh just to name this guy because he really didn't have a good season ebonyas

481
00:48:11,840 --> 00:48:15,360
ebonyas because when you put him on the biggest stages he doesn't perform well

482
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:21,040
that's not does he not perform well but he'll cost you the game yeah exactly unsung hero chris

483
00:48:21,040 --> 00:48:27,680
molly good good good i obviously thought about him dude i stumbled upon the clip and i posted

484
00:48:27,680 --> 00:48:34,080
it recently on instagram follow follow follow and this fucking guy was going back in the united

485
00:48:34,080 --> 00:48:39,760
days yeah i know and maguire was really rated he was going um we've just let score smalling go

486
00:48:40,320 --> 00:48:45,840
three or million or something let me tell you something smalling is twice the player that

487
00:48:45,840 --> 00:48:51,440
maguire is i never used it that zooms in on that guy in the background pulling a face at him

488
00:48:51,440 --> 00:48:56,240
firstly fuck that guy in the background if the guy in the background's listening

489
00:48:56,240 --> 00:49:06,960
fuck you bro but to me el sharawi was the unsung hero okay for roma with his numbers up

490
00:49:06,960 --> 00:49:13,520
because he's a fantastic utility player he was versatile playing both as a left wing back and a

491
00:49:13,520 --> 00:49:18,720
left winger especially with spinat sola struggling with injuries he really had to shift his weight

492
00:49:18,720 --> 00:49:22,400
and even with the bala struggling with injuries doesn't matter if you're on the left side and

493
00:49:22,400 --> 00:49:27,840
you're injured el sharawi stepped in and he got seven goals and three assists in the league two

494
00:49:27,840 --> 00:49:36,960
goals and one assist in the coppa too el sharawi fair enough huh speaking of allahly now best win

495
00:49:36,960 --> 00:49:42,960
for me was the two one away to inter yes i agree never easy winning at the san siro and they've

496
00:49:42,960 --> 00:49:47,440
struggled against the top seven before and this season they got it done against inter that was a show for mori

497
00:49:47,440 --> 00:49:58,000
yes yes west loss for me um of course is it was a mccabe high father there's all those of course

498
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:05,200
but for me it was the four three loss at home to sasuala um you score three and you lose yeah it's

499
00:50:05,200 --> 00:50:12,160
horrible yeah and to concede four goals especially at home at the olympica that's ugly especially for

500
00:50:12,160 --> 00:50:18,080
a morino team because they're so compact pardon me jesus they're so compact and they're so defensive

501
00:50:18,080 --> 00:50:23,040
yes so to say they're more in your parking the bus and all that um to me it's the two losses against

502
00:50:23,040 --> 00:50:27,840
lazio courtesy of ebonyas just the manner in which they lost those two games against lazio

503
00:50:28,480 --> 00:50:36,800
devastating that has to be it for me there's also two one away to cremonezo by the way yes yes yes

504
00:50:36,800 --> 00:50:45,120
that was massive you ventus yes top rubio bro i agree i went costa in the mid season tops and

505
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:50,080
flops but this time i'm gonna go for rubio simply because he played 32 games he got eight goals he

506
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:55,760
got four assists he had a great season he was instrumental in that midfield and they really

507
00:50:55,760 --> 00:51:01,840
needed him because paredes flopped yes pogba was unavailable yes the entire time and this guy was

508
00:51:01,840 --> 00:51:07,760
playing along the likes of youngsters i'd never even heard of before meretti you've got fai joly

509
00:51:08,560 --> 00:51:14,640
berensia excuse my pronunciation yeah i think so i think so i think that's pretty bang on um i put

510
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:20,480
rubio as well not only because of his output his output has significantly improved from previous

511
00:51:20,480 --> 00:51:26,240
seasons however his physicality his technicality and the fact that he was a goal scoring midfielder

512
00:51:26,240 --> 00:51:32,640
it's super important for you especially when firstly he was starting on the wing a lot of

513
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:39,040
the time as well where they mentioning that to to showcase his versatility obviously and secondly

514
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:44,480
i leggy was shifting things around shifting the formation shifting player positions

515
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:53,040
and the common factor was rubio in midfield and if you don't consider the minus 10 points

516
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:58,240
they would have finished what second third in this year's i think i think third just ahead of inter

517
00:51:58,240 --> 00:52:02,400
if i'm if i'm not mistaken obviously it's not accurate because you have to bar those last games

518
00:52:02,400 --> 00:52:08,640
of the season and the monza loss and all those exactly the ampoli one as well um i think he was

519
00:52:08,640 --> 00:52:15,280
instrumental for you in the middle breaking down play starting attacks always an option if someone

520
00:52:15,280 --> 00:52:21,920
has the ball rubio is always available what a season he had man what a season flop harsh

521
00:52:21,920 --> 00:52:31,680
harsh you're saying pog barn i'm saying but he only played 161 minutes okay i understand

522
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:37,680
i understand only because if you look at the manner of how he got injured you're going to say

523
00:52:37,680 --> 00:52:43,520
because it's for the world cup and it's everyone's dream i know it's not fucking easy i don't know

524
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:51,280
but i can understand why it's not fucking easy but you can't just he might have screwed up his

525
00:52:51,280 --> 00:52:56,560
entire career this season this season pugba might have fucked himself for the long term he's trying

526
00:52:56,560 --> 00:53:02,240
to shortcut his injury recovery and he ended up doing an even more serious surgery that will

527
00:53:02,240 --> 00:53:08,400
than what was initially required because he made it even worse because he tried to rush back

528
00:53:08,400 --> 00:53:16,000
it's harsh but you can't you can't not say that pugba flopped this season his the expectations

529
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:20,160
were through the roof he was the solution for you but he was going to come back and he was going to

530
00:53:20,160 --> 00:53:27,040
hit those curlers from outside the area for sure for sure but unfortunately he played 161 minutes

531
00:53:27,040 --> 00:53:33,360
when he came on he looked decent sure but pugba okay fair enough i'm going to stick with paredes

532
00:53:34,480 --> 00:53:38,480
he's left and he's already scored the world before argentina the classic he just had eight starts

533
00:53:38,480 --> 00:53:41,760
all season that's a flop bro you brought him in and then you look at the fact that he ended up

534
00:53:41,760 --> 00:53:46,080
playing youngsters in midfield and paredes was there the entire time available that's a flop to

535
00:53:46,080 --> 00:53:54,160
me yeah i agree i agree unsung hero for me a player i'm enamored by a player i like danilo give him

536
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:58,320
the armband give him the arm give him the arm what a fantastic player he's solid he's versatile he

537
00:53:58,320 --> 00:54:05,280
also managed three goals and three assists he's honestly yeah captain material super leader locker

538
00:54:05,280 --> 00:54:09,840
room figure he's a favorite there's there's no there's no debate i thought of saying costage

539
00:54:09,840 --> 00:54:18,960
initially but not really that unsung um so yeah i i have to have to go for danilo best win they

540
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:24,240
they got two victories over inter in the league winning one nil away from home and two nil at home

541
00:54:24,240 --> 00:54:28,640
those take it for me getting a double against inter in the league is fucking different agreed agreed

542
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:34,480
there was also the three nil against latio finished second which was super yes yes yes worst loss i

543
00:54:34,480 --> 00:54:41,040
would say five one away to nopoly there was the four one against ampoli the three nil against

544
00:54:41,040 --> 00:54:45,840
that doesn't count that they don't count because they came after the terribly political situation

545
00:54:45,840 --> 00:54:51,840
the new is the points deductions they came at bad time so for me the five one against nopoly was the

546
00:54:51,840 --> 00:54:56,480
the worst one it's there i listed it but this was one of the situations where i had to go out of the

547
00:54:56,480 --> 00:55:03,600
league okay to to to visit it two nil lost to makkabi haifa yeah when you look at uvs progression

548
00:55:03,600 --> 00:55:09,440
over the past few years naturally they had those nine scudetti in in a row and after that they were

549
00:55:09,440 --> 00:55:14,880
like okay champions league we need to establish ourselves as european powerhouses they got to two

550
00:55:14,880 --> 00:55:20,160
champions league finals they signed cristiano ronaldo and they did everything in their power

551
00:55:20,160 --> 00:55:25,520
to get them to be european powerhouses which was the obviously the natural next step for uva there

552
00:55:25,520 --> 00:55:31,040
was nothing wrong with doing what they did all of that led to losing two nil to makkabi haifa yeah

553
00:55:31,040 --> 00:55:41,520
enough said difficult season for you yes fiorantino fiorantina top berag i thought of berag is so hard

554
00:55:41,520 --> 00:55:47,200
bro i thought i'm sorry so so so good a lot of people just say he's good from set pieces no he's

555
00:55:47,200 --> 00:55:52,720
not he's not he's that he's a leader and he's fucking tough bro and he plays most of the time

556
00:55:52,720 --> 00:56:00,720
33 games all season solid man hard working devastating at set pieces i had nico guanzales

557
00:56:00,720 --> 00:56:04,720
as the other option he's yours he was mentally unavailable for half the season

558
00:56:06,080 --> 00:56:15,600
redemption song not enough for me for a top of the season 42 appearances 28 starts 2663 minutes

559
00:56:15,600 --> 00:56:20,160
played this is in all competitions yes 42 appearances in all competitions remember he was

560
00:56:20,800 --> 00:56:25,360
nowhere to be seen at the start 14 goals but you have to mention all competitions when you look at

561
00:56:25,360 --> 00:56:33,440
fiorantina season coppa italia seria so seria they finished eighth coppa italia they got to the final

562
00:56:34,160 --> 00:56:38,320
and conference league they got to the final and because this nico guanzales couldn't get his

563
00:56:38,320 --> 00:56:42,320
shit together for the start of the season they won't be featuring in europe next but fiorantina

564
00:56:42,320 --> 00:56:47,840
were shit at the start of the season well sure but their best player was mentally unavailable

565
00:56:47,840 --> 00:56:53,200
he came back he came back and he scored in the most important part of the season he got them to

566
00:56:53,200 --> 00:57:00,000
all those finals that they were in not single-handedly of course italiano all that um 14 goals five

567
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:06,240
assists when you look at all competitions he was the star player six goals in seria and five in

568
00:57:06,240 --> 00:57:12,400
the europa league and two in the coppa you look at all of their success he was there this for me

569
00:57:12,400 --> 00:57:16,960
would be the equivalent of picking deo lefebvre as your top forudinese disagree that a few had two

570
00:57:16,960 --> 00:57:24,320
goals all season no he didn't yes he did did he have two goals yes he had like yeah but he was

571
00:57:24,320 --> 00:57:28,480
incredible at the start he did half the season and then he disappeared so for me that can't be the

572
00:57:28,480 --> 00:57:33,840
top it just came good for nico because i understand he peaked at the second half of the season so it's

573
00:57:33,840 --> 00:57:38,640
fresher in the memory it's fresher in the memory but the stakes are also higher bro there's there's

574
00:57:38,640 --> 00:57:45,120
the later stages of the conference league the later stages of the coppa italia it's when the

575
00:57:45,120 --> 00:57:50,240
the leagues get more competitive the competitions get more competitive the way he stepped up after

576
00:57:50,240 --> 00:57:56,480
that he was easily their most influential player after that easily i understand however you're

577
00:57:56,480 --> 00:58:01,200
a shout of biragi because he was there for the entire time he was solid and he was a leader i

578
00:58:01,200 --> 00:58:09,280
understand i love the redemption of nico gonzalez though flop jovich whilst netting six in the league

579
00:58:09,280 --> 00:58:14,720
and six in the europa league which is massive he was replacing dusan vlaović and he struggled to

580
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:23,040
keep his spot ahead of cabral that's fair enough yes um to be honest i i don't disagree with you

581
00:58:23,040 --> 00:58:29,200
at all um you have a fair shout six goals six yes that's that's it you know it's harsh yes um

582
00:58:29,840 --> 00:58:35,280
igor man i i think igor is a good player i think igor is not only is a good player okay i'm just

583
00:58:35,280 --> 00:58:40,640
gonna say i think igor is a beast bro yeah i think igor when he's mentally focused when he switched

584
00:58:40,640 --> 00:58:46,800
on is impossible to play against one v one against him and it's a nightmare you're up against a

585
00:58:46,800 --> 00:58:53,840
gorilla essentially he's a fucking animal like um this season man he couldn't get into his rhythm

586
00:58:53,840 --> 00:59:00,000
he really struggled igor yeah he couldn't he couldn't keep up the season in my opinion and

587
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:07,520
obviously what highlighted that obviously was that decision not to bring down bowen in the conference

588
00:59:07,520 --> 00:59:12,800
leave oh my there was that which is just the cherry on the cake no i absolutely get that's

589
00:59:12,800 --> 00:59:17,600
frustrating i get you because i've won a trophy yeah um yes there was also brek all over the

590
00:59:17,600 --> 00:59:25,120
fields of batarsk because he's new unsung hero i went for christian kwame i went for jacomo

591
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:33,200
bonaventura no bias would you say he's unsung yes i would say so i would say yes i think kwame would

592
00:59:33,200 --> 00:59:38,080
be more unsung you know kwame was the it's the same situation with philippe anderson for lazio

593
00:59:38,080 --> 00:59:44,480
fair came in to replace cabral and jovich were shitting the bed um kwame was corner was shitting

594
00:59:44,480 --> 00:59:50,560
the bed on the beginning and kwame came in there and he always played well man and he managed four

595
00:59:50,560 --> 00:59:56,320
goals and four assists all season he was he was pretty good i mean no one expected anything out

596
00:59:56,320 --> 01:00:00,240
of kwan people had even forgotten he existed because of his injuries he joined from general

597
01:00:00,240 --> 01:00:05,200
and then kind of dipped for a while vanished off the face of the earth and then came back and looked

598
01:00:05,200 --> 01:00:09,440
decently to be honest and was a good shout kwame is a very good shout to me it's bonaventura

599
01:00:09,440 --> 01:00:14,720
because typically people judge bonaventura season based on his numbers now if you look at his

600
01:00:14,720 --> 01:00:19,280
numbers this season he has seven goals and four assists which is good which is good but his

601
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:26,000
leadership qualities are immense he keeps fucking working for 90 minutes of every single game and

602
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:32,560
he had 39 appearances and 37 starts he was consistent he was constant to me he's the unsung

603
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:37,280
hero i don't think he gets raved about enough man bonaventura especially in his later years

604
01:00:39,760 --> 01:00:44,560
there's also saponara four goals three assists another good season um a season where he featured

605
01:00:44,560 --> 01:00:49,360
more often than nothing that's not something we can often say um he's been let go he's a free agent

606
01:00:49,360 --> 01:00:53,440
right now let's hope he stays in the league yeah let's hope he stays in the league now hopefully

607
01:00:53,440 --> 01:01:00,000
best victory he's kind of in his later years saponara so maybe but he's not that old 32 no

608
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:05,920
something like that that's not old at all you know another player bro by the way who comes across

609
01:01:05,920 --> 01:01:11,360
as way older than he actually is is manolo gabbiadini how old do you think manolo i know

610
01:01:11,360 --> 01:01:20,400
this 32 yes saponara is 31 how old is my god i just i just thought of one that um seems older

611
01:01:20,400 --> 01:01:27,280
than he is i can't be at least 31 as well my god my god who i can't remember i can't remember i'll

612
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:33,040
randomly remember when we're in like 12th place or something don't worry cool and best win of

613
01:01:33,040 --> 01:01:39,520
course one way to winter was a great win at home to milan was also good but one way to enter

614
01:01:39,520 --> 01:01:44,880
is massive it's massive and i went for ferentina to roma one because they were both heading into

615
01:01:44,880 --> 01:01:49,280
the european finals and they just the conference the finalists beat the europe the europa league

616
01:01:49,280 --> 01:01:54,560
finalists fair enough and i think it's a massive statement that they made over there for entina

617
01:01:55,680 --> 01:02:03,360
worst loss so basa keche three ferentina nil didn't really matter because they got to the

618
01:02:03,360 --> 01:02:08,480
conference league final nonetheless but ferentina nil latio four had topped off a torrid start for

619
01:02:08,480 --> 01:02:12,560
la viola and it seemed like it couldn't get worse for them at that point so i'd say that

620
01:02:12,560 --> 01:02:19,920
fair enough yes i also put the four three away loss to inter simply because that game was not

621
01:02:19,920 --> 01:02:24,960
as close as the scoreline suggests and there were massive lapses in concentration early on and they

622
01:02:24,960 --> 01:02:29,760
really could have got something out of that game but the individual errors cost it and they they

623
01:02:29,760 --> 01:02:34,160
got fucked up in fact many people won't remember inter were two minutes ahead in that game early

624
01:02:34,160 --> 01:02:39,760
on yeah a few seconds in like barilla scored i think um ferentina were second best in that game

625
01:02:39,760 --> 01:02:43,680
to me that like it's like they got merked inter made it way harder for themselves but they got

626
01:02:43,680 --> 01:02:50,960
consolation goals but they got fucked up yeah balonia wow we're flying how long how what minute

627
01:02:50,960 --> 01:02:57,520
are we in we are in oh we're now we're in we have been listening to seria our spotlight for one

marketing domination yeah i'm not sure where this podcast episode is going right now

646
01:04:53,200 --> 01:04:59,840
bolonja top bolonja top for solini 100 finally a consistent season for solini he typically performs

647
01:04:59,840 --> 01:05:05,760
in the second half of the season only he had 11 goals he had four assists really got revived

648
01:05:05,760 --> 01:05:08,720
thanks to the managerial change um of course

649
01:05:10,480 --> 01:05:15,440
mata yeah mata thank you i was gonna call him gross so bro i've been mixing on you i don't like

650
01:05:15,440 --> 01:05:21,360
that i don't like that mata has been super of course bolonja and apparently psug you want the

651
01:05:21,360 --> 01:05:27,760
massive clubs have been looking at mata as a profile but he managed to revive what's the mata

652
01:05:27,760 --> 01:05:33,120
who i just called minter will end up at inter he will he will ease the future like he'll spend

653
01:05:33,120 --> 01:05:38,400
seven seasons eight seasons at inter i can see it bro i can see it i can see it um shout out

654
01:05:38,400 --> 01:05:45,520
turn out of it yes or solina no debate for me the best italian attacking player this season in the

655
01:05:45,520 --> 01:05:53,760
world was a canny um he contributed more or solini 11 goals four assists i believe in the league but

656
01:05:53,760 --> 01:06:02,160
11 goals four assists zucconi had i have it i have it written control f zucconi enter

657
01:06:02,160 --> 01:06:11,520
here 10 goals and seven assists so zucconi had more zucconi had more but okay or solina

658
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:20,080
still his corner is wow no but also no debate for me he can make a dangerous situation out of

659
01:06:20,080 --> 01:06:27,920
nothing yes he has that chaotic play style i really enjoy watching yeah and flop harsh maybe no

660
01:06:27,920 --> 01:06:37,040
oh he had his he had his opportunities to grab goals arnie was out injured a lot

661
01:06:37,040 --> 01:06:42,960
and he only managed two and he played around 13 14 games so good he looked good but that is a

662
01:06:42,960 --> 01:06:48,080
striker not a flop though petania is on my flop for from one's hand he is my score he is my

663
01:06:48,080 --> 01:06:54,800
oh man's looking at the numbers but no it's not it's not only numbers it's it's roles for me

664
01:06:54,800 --> 01:07:00,720
zerxay was very good at driving holding up the ball laying it off to the wingers he was fine

665
01:07:00,720 --> 01:07:06,400
for me soriano started off well but only managed the season with 15 starts one goal three assists i

666
01:07:06,400 --> 01:07:10,960
thought he started the season well and was going to be kind of a comeback season for him but in the

667
01:07:10,960 --> 01:07:17,280
end he proved that he can't do it consistently for 38 games fair enough zerxay for me okay unsung

668
01:07:17,280 --> 01:07:25,280
hero ferguson i could push fair enough to me ferguson um he kind of started performing under

669
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:30,160
motta out of nowhere he scored a shit ton for what did he end up scoring seven goals seven six

670
01:07:30,160 --> 01:07:36,000
something like that something like that but he's an incredibly intelligent footballer once motta

671
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:41,920
came in and utilized him correctly he was the key outlet for them in midfield one of their most

672
01:07:41,920 --> 01:07:47,520
important players the season if not the most important player yeah he was he was amazing

673
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:54,320
this season 23 years old lewis ferguson he's got seven goals this season that's super super super

674
01:07:54,320 --> 01:08:01,840
unsung hero for me for me it was stefan posh who played as right back he got six goals and two

675
01:08:01,840 --> 01:08:07,920
assists from right back he looked incredible in my opinion um i thought he at one point he was one

676
01:08:07,920 --> 01:08:15,200
of the highest the best performing um defenders yeah in europe's top five leagues great player

677
01:08:15,200 --> 01:08:21,200
unsung i'm just gonna argue with you for a second um because you said man's looking at the numbers

678
01:08:21,200 --> 01:08:27,120
i think you have to consider them i don't think it's and you'll notice that a lot of the times

679
01:08:27,120 --> 01:08:32,640
i think if you like if you look at a lot of the decisions i will make in my tops flops and whatever

680
01:08:32,640 --> 01:08:38,080
i'll say regardless of these numbers he was influential he held the ball he controlled

681
01:08:38,080 --> 01:08:43,760
that's that's zerg z did this did that i and i understand and i understand but you remove

682
01:08:43,760 --> 01:08:52,160
iron out of itch you bring on zerg z he's got 14 to 15 matches to establish himself yes he moved

683
01:08:52,160 --> 01:09:01,120
the ball around not as efficiently he was good but he wasn't insane in front of goal he shits himself

684
01:09:01,120 --> 01:09:08,400
he still is improving he's only 22 years old he very very interesting player coming from bayern

685
01:09:08,400 --> 01:09:13,680
munich however with iron out of itch out injured you bring on zerg z he's not getting you goals

686
01:09:13,680 --> 01:09:18,560
and they ended up playing barrow up front so barrow can get them goals because the striker needs to

687
01:09:18,560 --> 01:09:26,320
score he does fair enough um and i think i would consider my flop because he's so raved about

688
01:09:26,320 --> 01:09:32,480
because he came from bayern munich the expectations were yes too high for where he is so the expectation

689
01:09:32,480 --> 01:09:38,000
skewed the performances fair enough i never expected him to get many goals this season

690
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:43,920
every time i watch zerg's a passes the eye test with flying colors i think he's a super his

691
01:09:43,920 --> 01:09:48,720
movement is brilliant brilliant player he glides i would not call him the flop this season fair fair

692
01:09:48,720 --> 01:09:54,880
fair fair and best victory one nil at home to winter fair enough i agree okay there was a two

693
01:09:54,880 --> 01:09:59,280
nil away to atalanta three nilters a swell on the derby which was a massive victory for them yeah

694
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:03,120
worst loss for me was six one away to winter yeah their best win and their worst loss were against

695
01:10:03,120 --> 01:10:08,320
the same team yes and the six one came first the one came after exactly which makes it it makes it

696
01:10:08,320 --> 01:10:16,720
better yeah yes torino tony sanabria finally we give it to someone who has always stepped up in

697
01:10:16,720 --> 01:10:21,600
tough moments a man who has always played second fiddle a man who was not praised often enough but

698
01:10:21,600 --> 01:10:26,480
who has always delivered when called upon tony sanabria finished the season with 12 goals and

699
01:10:26,480 --> 01:10:32,480
four assists and hardly ever started the games tony sanabria for me is torino's best player this

700
01:10:32,480 --> 01:10:39,760
season all the doubt about their lack of number nine but he is actually genuinely a great fucking

701
01:10:39,760 --> 01:10:45,120
striker he scored some true number nine goals some goals that some true number nines wouldn't

702
01:10:45,120 --> 01:10:50,880
score and he also has those creative qualities of a treco artista which actually brings a lot to

703
01:10:50,880 --> 01:10:56,160
his game he's a phenomenal striker i would take him at milan i'll go so far as to say that tony

704
01:10:56,160 --> 01:11:04,640
sabria had a magnificent season magnificent now the flop um three two one all right i'll die on

705
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:12,640
this hill bro and this was his chance he has been back in italy for a while now um torino had a gap

706
01:11:12,640 --> 01:11:18,080
in the attack of course he had the chance to establish himself he managed two goals only

707
01:11:18,080 --> 01:11:23,440
yeah four starts all season um he also scored for the under-21s against france yesterday

708
01:11:23,440 --> 01:11:30,560
oh yeah yeah i saw a good header tonality system exactly exactly yes unsung samuel irici fair

709
01:11:30,560 --> 01:11:34,560
enough i considered him okay i thought he was great in midfield kept everything ticking he's

710
01:11:34,560 --> 01:11:40,320
young he's talented managed two worlds one assists was an amazing player i um had the question of

711
01:11:40,320 --> 01:11:45,280
richie versus illich because when illich came in he was really good i had the thought of miran

712
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:51,360
chook versus vlasic as well they have a lot of really good key pieces to me the unsung hero very

713
01:11:51,360 --> 01:11:59,360
unsung buongiorno buongiorno super his second in air challenges one ariel duil in the league yep

714
01:12:00,560 --> 01:12:09,120
so that's 107 air challenges one all season he was in 181 air challenges which is seventh in seria

715
01:12:09,120 --> 01:12:17,760
and he had 176 pass interceptions which is 16th in seria and he averaged around 5.43

716
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:24,160
pass interceptions per game which put him in the 85 percent percentile and just a fantastic season

717
01:12:24,160 --> 01:12:31,920
by buongiorno super super player bro very good shout also buongiorno is a great word love the

718
01:12:31,920 --> 01:12:39,600
way brad pitt says it in england's boston bonjourno bonjourno yeah great player good talent breaking

719
01:12:39,600 --> 01:12:45,680
news for brits your romano has just tweeted that inter are in fact closer to the rom than milan are

720
01:12:45,680 --> 01:12:50,400
we won't get into the discussion but i thought might as well make this podcast up to date no

721
01:12:50,400 --> 01:12:55,760
devastating yes we have to record with twitter open nowadays because shit moves so quickly yeah

722
01:12:55,760 --> 01:13:02,000
now best win for torino two one victory at home to milan who did you say for uh somewhere the richie

723
01:13:02,000 --> 01:13:07,760
yes yeah two one um against me in the league and one nil away in the copa yeah they knocked me

724
01:13:07,760 --> 01:13:14,640
out of the two massive wins and yeah against me they also had a four nil away victory against

725
01:13:14,640 --> 01:13:19,040
the rat in a corner that were spezia on the penultimate day when they were battling

726
01:13:19,600 --> 01:13:24,240
um they were fighting for their lives and then they beat them four that was fun good that's

727
01:13:24,240 --> 01:13:29,040
probably their best victory come to think of it but but no you know two one against me now

728
01:13:29,040 --> 01:13:34,640
yeah better now worst loss i would say four two away to uve because it was a derby and because

729
01:13:34,640 --> 01:13:38,560
torino are better than that nowadays torino shouldn't be conceding for it to uve torino

730
01:13:38,560 --> 01:13:46,080
i guess you're rich you're rich at the helm yeah so they should they shouldn't be conceding for

731
01:13:46,080 --> 01:13:50,800
it you lose to spezia that's your worst loss of the season and torino lost to spezia one nil at

732
01:13:50,800 --> 01:14:01,520
home okay fair enough moving on to monza yes um i know you can compare caprari's contributions to

733
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:08,960
carlos augusto who's a defender and tchuria as well who he is well behind but his impact is still the

734
01:14:08,960 --> 01:14:16,160
strongest he's the best player on the pitch when monza play he's winning fouls he's taking shots

735
01:14:16,160 --> 01:14:23,040
he's influencing the team and he's naughty so to me caprari takes it you see he is he's their star

736
01:14:23,040 --> 01:14:27,360
player caprari is monza star player disagree disagree disagree didn't think he was consistent

737
01:14:27,360 --> 01:14:35,280
enough but is he not monza star player yes i mean on paper in theory sure but i thought for example

738
01:14:35,280 --> 01:14:40,320
what do you mean on paper on paper is the one that has the better stats yeah i mean you look

739
01:14:40,320 --> 01:14:47,280
at mon you watch monza's games this season was the carlos augusto show bro he linked up brilliantly

740
01:14:47,280 --> 01:14:52,800
with the with the midfield to to attack um you look at for example in tchuria as well out wide

741
01:14:52,800 --> 01:14:57,840
he was incredible as well but i would say for example towards the end of the season caprari

742
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:02,080
was a menace even when he wasn't scoring or assisting which i understand didn't have as

743
01:15:02,080 --> 01:15:08,560
many contributions as carlos and as tchuria um but he was that influence for monza he was

744
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:14,000
the player you look out for when you're playing against monza you put two men on him because he's

745
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:19,440
creating how many starts do you even have by the end of it caprari caprari i don't even know if he

746
01:15:19,440 --> 01:15:26,960
started that many games bro caprari you're joking i swear to god bro joking 32 starts five goals to

747
01:15:26,960 --> 01:15:32,960
assess okay 32 starts are a shit ton um forget the goals and assist because he was the most

748
01:15:32,960 --> 01:15:38,960
influential player i know bro but i i still disagree with you whenever i watched monza it

749
01:15:38,960 --> 01:15:44,320
wasn't caprari who stood out to me it was carlos augusto man carlos augusto was incredible in

750
01:15:44,320 --> 01:15:48,880
moments yes carlos augusto stood out to me he was defensively sound and his output for a defender

751
01:15:48,880 --> 01:15:57,280
was magnificent but again just the amount of fouls that that um caprari won the amount of times he

752
01:15:57,280 --> 01:16:02,960
created space for his teammates is just super super dangerous to me he's the most influential

753
01:16:02,960 --> 01:16:09,040
player in that team barring the numbers okay um i agree to disagree there um i'm going to stick

754
01:16:09,040 --> 01:16:15,440
to carlos augusto incredible season um he's wanted all over europe even newcastle apparently are

755
01:16:15,440 --> 01:16:22,320
after him him his mother and his dog as well um yeah flop i've praised petania for his holdup

756
01:16:22,320 --> 01:16:28,000
play and seven assists i understand his industry but four goals is too little he's been regressing

757
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:35,760
in his career okay i put cronio this is fair fair fair fair one appearance marley closed second

758
01:16:35,760 --> 01:16:41,520
for getting stabbed but um cronio is uh my my flop of the season fair enough it makes sense

759
01:16:41,520 --> 01:16:48,160
yeah unsung hero it's a it's so yeah brings a lot to the game from center back and he's always on it

760
01:16:48,160 --> 01:16:52,640
he's always on he's always in the mood to play football no it's all his balls he's tough but

761
01:16:52,640 --> 01:16:57,760
he's elegant on the ball he hardly ever puts a foot wrong he contributes wonderfully to link up

762
01:16:57,760 --> 01:17:04,800
play he oh he has the technique of a midfielder yes literally so he reminds me a lot no way near

763
01:17:04,800 --> 01:17:11,040
the same quality but the kind of center back ramos is it's just very similar pinging balls from the

764
01:17:11,040 --> 01:17:17,600
back good in the air tough motherfucker tattoo is all over can faint and drop the striker pressing

765
01:17:17,600 --> 01:17:22,400
yeah he's very street smart as well he's a bit of a teo in that sense he knows who's where he knows

766
01:17:22,400 --> 01:17:28,080
who's on a yellow all that love it so love it so i've always had them on my fanta i think three

767
01:17:29,520 --> 01:17:35,600
pardon me three seasons in a row i think i had them on my fun so there we go best win for monza

768
01:17:35,600 --> 01:17:41,200
for me was the two nil away to juventus um the one nil away to winter the two nil at home tonopoly

769
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:45,360
now you look at this okay you have the two nil away to juventus it came after the news of the

770
01:17:45,360 --> 01:17:50,480
points deduction the two nil at home tonopoly was while napoli were hung over so that leaves the one

771
01:17:50,480 --> 01:17:57,760
away to winter for me that's their best victory disagree um now not because it was their most

772
01:17:57,760 --> 01:18:02,720
convincing victory but it will go down in history for being their first victory in syria it was a

773
01:18:02,720 --> 01:18:08,720
one nil win over uva and the first of many pullman detroit this year very very good yeah to be fair

774
01:18:08,720 --> 01:18:16,560
everyone has a victory over inter this year yeah the worst loss um three nil to salernitano yes

775
01:18:16,560 --> 01:18:20,720
yes and then they and then monza three nil salernitano in the next game so they got their

776
01:18:20,720 --> 01:18:29,920
revenge yeah agreed um great season by monza after they sacked stroppa and brought in paladino yep

777
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:36,640
they turned things around it's paladino yeah promoted actually right they um were the best

778
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:41,680
performing newly promoted team the top five leagues ever in history i would fucking say in

779
01:18:41,680 --> 01:18:46,800
syria i don't know i don't know if the 20s or something for the season holds holds well

780
01:18:46,800 --> 01:18:55,840
yeah fair enough yeah um i hate hudineza by the way i find it very hard despise hudineza man they're

781
01:18:55,840 --> 01:19:00,560
that physical annoying team that doesn't really play well together man under that team that when

782
01:19:00,560 --> 01:19:05,040
they're doing well it's almost like their president goes down to the changing room goes like whoa whoa

783
01:19:05,040 --> 01:19:11,600
relax i don't want to do this well 10th is good but don't be anywhere near the top seven you know

784
01:19:13,360 --> 01:19:18,800
roberto pereira yes 34 appearances five goals seven assists a tireless worker he's technically

785
01:19:18,800 --> 01:19:25,600
superior to his teammates he is a player who's in this chair respect a lot and who just works

786
01:19:25,600 --> 01:19:30,560
tirelessly yeah not not exactly because of his performances because he wasn't that great if

787
01:19:30,560 --> 01:19:34,720
you compare him to the last seasons but he was versatile he was playing as a right wing back as

788
01:19:34,720 --> 01:19:40,000
well as a center mid as an attacking mid and just his leadership qualities are exemplary for his

789
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:44,400
teammates who tend to be a little bit hot-headed not that he's not a hot head himself but he does

790
01:19:44,400 --> 01:19:49,840
keep a cool head um beto also got 10 goals this season too and it's his second good season so

791
01:19:49,840 --> 01:19:56,800
keep an eye on beto keep an eye on him he's kind of appreciating at a slow and steady pace yeah

792
01:19:56,800 --> 01:20:01,280
flop and by the way also honorable shout out honorable mention to samard

793
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:07,120
yeah yeah yeah yeah flop for me was it was hard to choose because there wasn't a clear flop no

794
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:13,040
i thought sylvester did this season he did dip he did dip he did dip and i thought of sylvester

795
01:20:13,040 --> 01:20:19,280
who's yours i put tovon oh yeah he was brought in and did nothing you know 541 minutes of play he

796
01:20:19,280 --> 01:20:24,320
should have made more of an impact he didn't do anything bro nothing nothing and this is guy the

797
01:20:24,320 --> 01:20:29,920
same guy that was linked to milan yeah for two seasons in a row like so i was a bit disappointed

798
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:34,320
when watching tovon play football not only not contributing but watching him play football i

799
01:20:34,320 --> 01:20:40,080
was a bit disappointed next up is my favorite type of beach sandy lovray yeah i agree you're

800
01:20:40,080 --> 01:20:45,600
an unsung hero sandy motherfucking lovray 37 appearances yes you only miss one game this

801
01:20:45,600 --> 01:20:52,240
season five goals six assists workhorse in the midfield a great great season for him overall

802
01:20:52,240 --> 01:20:56,960
and you hardly ever hear his name agree agree agree i think our best win and worst loss will be the

803
01:20:56,960 --> 01:21:03,040
same best win was four nil to roma yep and the worst loss was three nil to within no to bolonia

804
01:21:03,040 --> 01:21:09,440
yes i wrote to the nes i do that so much i'm dumb i do that so much but yeah i agree four nil to roma

805
01:21:09,440 --> 01:21:13,120
and the opening games of the season were like oh the nes are seem pretty good this year then

806
01:21:13,120 --> 01:21:17,840
they beat roma four nil you're like okay they seem amazing this year and then they just the dip they

807
01:21:17,840 --> 01:21:24,000
had the tipping point was not the tipping point but the the epitome of their bad performances was

808
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:28,880
their three nil lost to bolonia because they should be they were fighting you know for eight

809
01:21:28,880 --> 01:21:33,440
they were on par they were on par they were they should have lost three nil three nil is a fucking

810
01:21:33,440 --> 01:21:40,160
they had opposite seasons they had opposite seasons sasuala now despite struggling with

811
01:21:40,160 --> 01:21:45,760
with injuries and having a tough season overall i'm still going to give my top the memo 12 goals

812
01:21:45,760 --> 01:21:53,360
and seven assists yes berard in 26 games you have to and his leadership as well and and the way he

813
01:21:53,360 --> 01:22:03,120
turns nothing into something barardi barardi barardi barardi shout out obviously to laurelante

814
01:22:05,360 --> 01:22:12,000
but he did dip in q4 and a little bit in q3 as well well i'm not familiar with this term

815
01:22:12,880 --> 01:22:18,400
business terms quarter one quarter two quarters where are you using business terms on our fucking

816
01:22:18,400 --> 01:22:23,840
podcast it makes sense though in the last quarter of the season in q4 it sounds sounds super

817
01:22:23,840 --> 01:22:32,800
american algeria would like that oh jerry let him cook let him cook let him cook america fuck yeah

818
01:22:35,680 --> 01:22:43,280
we're too optimistic man we're too optimistic let him cook so sasuala flop i have there are

819
01:22:43,280 --> 01:22:46,640
too many to choose from you've got threshold you've got a red card every game yeah you got

820
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:54,640
by rami who i'm not even sure landed in fucking reggio amiliano you've got concili who looked like

821
01:22:54,640 --> 01:23:01,680
he was both for a few games he kept masturbating in the shower all season but for me the flop of

822
01:23:01,680 --> 01:23:07,440
the season is penamonte i agree because sasuala are a very attacking team very dynamic team

823
01:23:08,240 --> 01:23:13,280
who a striker should be able to score way more than five goals on a team like this you know i

824
01:23:13,280 --> 01:23:18,560
mean again like they score it's not only it's not only that he didn't score but it's hold up play

825
01:23:18,560 --> 01:23:24,800
was everything he was on a different wavelength completed completely really out of place and they

826
01:23:24,800 --> 01:23:29,040
would play him a great ball he wouldn't get it and then he'd point in front of him saying i wanted it

827
01:23:29,040 --> 01:23:37,680
here but adapt to your teammates you're the new one exactly fucking idiots hi guys on this episode

828
01:23:37,680 --> 01:23:45,840
we have penamonte yes imagine that my god one day huh one day maybe hopefully not i mean i don't

829
01:23:45,840 --> 01:23:54,720
speak italian and i highly know this being a hero so i put fratezi i put maxim maxim was out quite

830
01:23:54,720 --> 01:24:01,440
a bit this season though he was he was but he still got the numbers up if you give me 3.58 seconds i

831
01:24:01,440 --> 01:24:16,960
will find it count count count one two three point five eight there we go so maxim lopez at 25 starts

832
01:24:16,960 --> 01:24:22,800
five appearances of the banister still managed 30 appearances in a 38 game season and was always one

833
01:24:22,800 --> 01:24:29,200
of the best players in the pitch when he played um similar industry to ben asser and lobotka for

834
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:35,760
example i think maxim lopez would be up there close to those guys not quite at that level but a very

835
01:24:35,760 --> 01:24:41,760
underrated player a player whose name is not mentioned often enough and for me yeah yeah yeah

836
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:48,400
yeah he's great he's great and last season i believe i had him as my unsung for sasuala

837
01:24:48,400 --> 01:24:54,080
far better season than they did this year last year and to me fratezi was a super important player

838
01:24:54,080 --> 01:24:59,680
for the maybes not recognized enough and he had seven goals from midfield for a team that struggled

839
01:25:00,640 --> 01:25:07,120
seven goals from seven goals from your midfielder is super super super important and just the way

840
01:25:07,120 --> 01:25:12,320
he used to well he does carry the ball from midfield to attack is brilliant he's up and

841
01:25:12,320 --> 01:25:17,440
down he's box to box i would take him at me down fratezi i think he's a brilliant player only 23

842
01:25:17,440 --> 01:25:23,520
years old very young for a midfielder same age as tonali i believe and he is one of the next big

843
01:25:23,520 --> 01:25:29,440
things for for italy agreed and he was actually with monza and say a bird scored a shit ton of

844
01:25:29,440 --> 01:25:32,720
goals with them where there as well has been progressing very nicely that's where he made

845
01:25:32,720 --> 01:25:41,040
his mark before the under 21 world cup if i'm not mistaken these guys no ball best man for sasuala

846
01:25:41,040 --> 01:25:46,080
was their 5-2 victory away to milan or their five nil home victory to selenitana of course the milan

847
01:25:46,080 --> 01:25:51,280
one is more more significant i didn't put the milan one because it's when milan were significantly

848
01:25:51,280 --> 01:25:55,520
struggling like that was literally at the peak of milan struggles like we weren't hopeful for that

849
01:25:55,520 --> 01:26:01,680
game kind of thing and but it's still massive yeah yeah yeah absolutely but i think they away from

850
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:09,120
home beating roma four three away from home when roma managed to put three plus sasuala and sasuala

851
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:17,040
managed to bite back and put four past them i think their heart their determination that that to me is

852
01:26:17,040 --> 01:26:22,320
a top victory because they left everything in the pitch okay okay that's an interesting perspective

853
01:26:22,320 --> 01:26:31,760
that's good fair enough where's loss um to who balonia in the derby there it's a derby i forgot

854
01:26:31,760 --> 01:26:35,600
that's a derby man i tend to forget that's a day what's it called the al paponi

855
01:26:40,480 --> 01:26:45,840
one of those the apennines the apennine derby yeah um you lose to some doria and you're a

856
01:26:45,840 --> 01:26:54,240
doodoo fucking shit brain they lost at home to some doria to one that's fucking a massive loss

857
01:26:54,240 --> 01:27:01,200
for them with caputo on the other end as well ampoli so yeah they say caputo on the other end

858
01:27:01,200 --> 01:27:07,440
caputo is a temple you know what he's talking about was he at some doria caputo he was yes he was okay

859
01:27:07,440 --> 01:27:17,280
so i'm i'm i'm i'm way behind ampoli top yugo kombiagui vicario

860
01:27:21,040 --> 01:27:29,760
i'm gonna change vicario i agree no dude dude dude he can be i put kombiagui because he started

861
01:27:29,760 --> 01:27:37,280
12 and came on 16 times but was their best goal score behind caputo who fair underperformed and

862
01:27:37,280 --> 01:27:42,960
i thought kombiagui was as a young player who came on i'm really impressed vicario though you

863
01:27:42,960 --> 01:27:47,600
are absolutely right there was no one better than fucking vicario on goal this season honestly like

864
01:27:47,600 --> 01:27:53,120
best keeper in the league this year by far by far by just just simply fuck stats just look at him

865
01:27:53,120 --> 01:27:58,880
watch him he's incredible he's a cat he's a cat bro and now he plays for spurs fuck my life out of

866
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:10,640
all teams as well in england spurs man spams okay flop spams is so good i never heard it before

867
01:28:10,640 --> 01:28:32,160
they literally called spurs just add the m fucking hot sperms okay so so you guys their flop satriano

868
01:28:32,160 --> 01:28:42,560
boom testro one of the strikers managed one goal you move you move from a big team to a small team

869
01:28:42,560 --> 01:28:50,560
and you're supposed to be the shit like and and he went and and you know i had one of the reasons i

870
01:28:50,560 --> 01:29:01,040
dislike satriano i have um fm on my phone um with ampoli right and i started satriano a lot of the

871
01:29:01,040 --> 01:29:07,040
times and because he was great in the air and i did early crosses from midfield and he was scoring

872
01:29:07,040 --> 01:29:13,440
a bunch and then i answered i i emailed inter i'm like listen i'd like to buy this guy what's your

873
01:29:13,440 --> 01:29:21,680
quote for him 80 million bro 80 million he had 16 goals for him in the season i finished fifth

874
01:29:21,680 --> 01:29:31,280
with ampoli crazy man fucking what bro 80 million there's nothing worse than playing any fifa or

875
01:29:31,280 --> 01:29:38,160
manager manager mode or anything that isn't fm is annoying yeah fm is great i just wish i had the

876
01:29:38,160 --> 01:29:43,920
time for it man because if i had known on the phone it's way simpler emails skip fucking through

877
01:29:43,920 --> 01:29:49,120
them i don't afford to be addicted to video games because i would get addicted to it i'm not like

878
01:29:49,120 --> 01:29:54,960
that i'm on a flight and i play it i'm in a cab and i'm playing it whatever like man but yeah

879
01:29:54,960 --> 01:30:01,520
please satriano i had higher doing when you're not making snippets i'm not making snippets come on i'm

880
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:09,920
making fox pops outside san siro dog stop it do you want to count jake makes most of the snippets

881
01:30:09,920 --> 01:30:17,840
guys well done to fucking jake well done jake everyone give him a big ass round of applause

882
01:30:17,840 --> 01:30:23,680
well done thank you thank you you're way quicker way more efficient than me basically you're just

883
01:30:23,680 --> 01:30:32,320
better than you're just way better than me unsung hero parisi akpac bro wait that's let me try that

884
01:30:32,320 --> 01:30:43,520
again akpac bro sometimes what was it the he him she her akpac bro um yes bro to be honest with you

885
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:51,280
parisi is more rated yeah he's more sung yeah he's played 33 games instrumental

886
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:58,800
moves into midfield similarly to the hernandez in that aspect yeah yeah you're probably right again

887
01:30:58,800 --> 01:31:05,040
bro you've outdone me with this ampoli prep i must say yes you've swayed me akpac pro was

888
01:31:05,040 --> 01:31:09,520
incredible this season and i never thought he had it in him when he was with lazio and this year at

889
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:16,160
ampoli you know what he brought to ampoli man to me balance firstly balance yes they are beautiful

890
01:31:16,160 --> 01:31:24,080
balance in midfield marin in the pocket him as the box to box but to me he didn't allow ampoli to

891
01:31:24,080 --> 01:31:30,880
get bust around too often because he was that big motherfucker who'd break down play didn't shy away

892
01:31:30,880 --> 01:31:36,720
from a yellow card when he needed to get one his leg was always extended ready to go man i really

893
01:31:36,720 --> 01:31:41,760
enjoyed that back bro and you called him viera on one of the episodes bro he's he played there he had

894
01:31:41,760 --> 01:31:46,800
a really good season a very good season very good season ampoli are very exciting yeah their best

895
01:31:46,800 --> 01:31:55,440
win one little way to enter i mean so everyone how many are in the best win one against one against

896
01:31:55,440 --> 01:32:02,320
everyone go on no to me it doesn't matter not much it doesn't matter not it doesn't matter but

897
01:32:02,320 --> 01:32:09,200
um it's harsh to say that uva's worst loss was the one against ampoli for one but you can say it's

898
01:32:09,200 --> 01:32:14,720
ampoli's best win no they had just confirmed survival they were all hung over they went out

899
01:32:14,720 --> 01:32:21,440
partying and they beat uva four goes to one you put four past uva no matter what the situation is

900
01:32:21,440 --> 01:32:27,200
bragging rights forever that goes down in ampoli's history forever yeah the problem was that game was

901
01:32:27,200 --> 01:32:37,600
a bit redundant i know for i know it's harsh to be honest zanetti spoke after that game and was like

902
01:32:37,600 --> 01:32:43,120
to be honest i was worried my boys were gonna get destroyed because we haven't stopped drinking

903
01:32:44,960 --> 01:32:51,680
yeah they had just like confirmed survival yes yes yes yeah so fair enough okay the one little

904
01:32:51,680 --> 01:32:55,840
game center was a during crunch time the season though it was at a time where everything was still

905
01:32:55,840 --> 01:33:00,480
up was still to play for and they managed to beat inter who were solid so i think that that's the

906
01:33:00,480 --> 01:33:04,720
best one but for one against uva of course that's the game they'll be telling their kids about

907
01:33:04,720 --> 01:33:12,160
exactly exactly worst loss for me match day one one lost to spezia ampoli have much more quality

908
01:33:12,160 --> 01:33:15,200
than spezia they should not be losing them especially in the opening and they were better

909
01:33:15,200 --> 01:33:19,680
than spezia that game they were just wasteful they were just wasteful now obviously match day

910
01:33:19,680 --> 01:33:24,880
one so you can't critique them too much on that but you lose to spezia and you're yeah much like

911
01:33:24,880 --> 01:33:34,640
some doreira dodo shit salernitana so last season we couldn't imagine salernitana staying in seria

912
01:33:34,640 --> 01:33:46,320
let alone dancing in seria dia a bulai dia fi qua e qua e qua il bomber dei granate che solo

913
01:33:46,320 --> 01:33:55,760
contri sicura menta non ti lasceri ricordi he made them dance this season with 16 goals and six assists

914
01:33:55,760 --> 01:34:00,880
who would have thought of seeing salernitana fans taunting the opposition as often as they did

915
01:34:00,880 --> 01:34:07,440
putting those finger goggles in their eyes bro to imitate but that's it no it's exactly that

916
01:34:07,440 --> 01:34:12,880
what a player what a player and if this thuram deal doesn't go through for milan or inter for me

917
01:34:12,880 --> 01:34:16,560
if you go for dia yes anyway anyone of them yes because i think they'd be good at milan because

918
01:34:16,560 --> 01:34:23,280
he is a high iq player i need to run that milan you don't understand bro you don't understand if

919
01:34:23,280 --> 01:34:28,880
he goes to winter i'm gonna be whoa i might not do the podcast next year i'm joking mental for

920
01:34:28,880 --> 01:34:36,880
example like that that's meme of dj callid it's not dj callid it just looks like him

921
01:34:36,880 --> 01:34:46,400
is it fucking not dj callid bro you're joking it's so dj callid i don't think it is anyway who's your

922
01:34:46,400 --> 01:34:53,200
flop for salernitana you should have walked into the starting 11 i didn't came to life a bit towards

923
01:34:53,200 --> 01:35:01,280
the end of the season still my flop fair i put lovato because you'd think that leaving atalanta

924
01:35:01,280 --> 01:35:06,800
for salernitana would make him an important player for them but at 26 years old his life is

925
01:35:06,800 --> 01:35:14,400
still looked 19 this season lovatos 26 nowadays yep that's wrong google it just to make sure

926
01:35:14,400 --> 01:35:22,640
that can't be right bro lovato he looked 19 for sure okay give me the age of demi lovato

927
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:30,960
if any of you are wondering demi lovato is 30 years old by the way how is she still only 30 by the way

928
01:35:30,960 --> 01:35:36,160
but salernitana's lovatos 23 don't know where you're getting your information from my god what the

929
01:35:36,160 --> 01:35:45,040
fuck transfer market bro no bro but still still you move from atalanta to go to salernitana and

930
01:35:45,040 --> 01:35:51,680
you start bro you start yeah that's fair enough um yeah i'm gonna go for maljori still because he

931
01:35:51,680 --> 01:35:55,360
was the captain of specia seemed like he was a better player than everyone else over there

932
01:35:55,360 --> 01:35:59,920
came to salernitana cullibaly still managed to start over and maljori barely featured

933
01:35:59,920 --> 01:36:06,800
unsung hero i put sepe sepe did brilliantly he had 17 appearances 17 great appearances until

934
01:36:06,800 --> 01:36:11,440
ochoa was brought in and he was forgotten so that is the definition of an unsung hero a forgotten

935
01:36:11,440 --> 01:36:17,280
hero sepe contributed greatly to salernitana's survival in seia the season fair enough um not

936
01:36:17,280 --> 01:36:23,440
that unsung for me um but i put cantreva because he's typically judged for his contributions to

937
01:36:23,440 --> 01:36:27,760
goals but he did far more than just seven goals and five assists this season with leadership

938
01:36:27,760 --> 01:36:33,440
qualities and consistency for a 36 year old to play 35 matches in a season you judge him on his

939
01:36:33,440 --> 01:36:40,000
numbers fuck you yeah honestly cantreva for me cantreva is great we love cantreva scored a few

940
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:48,880
brilliant goals my god amazing beautiful by the way we have some beautiful cantreva merch on our

941
01:36:48,880 --> 01:36:55,600
website do you know that goal where he extended and he's wrong yeah yeah we have that in merch

942
01:36:55,600 --> 01:37:02,880
on bucket hats as a sticker if you want a sticker as well if just over a euro yeah best win three

943
01:37:02,880 --> 01:37:10,640
one away to lazio one at home to atalanta so i i wrote i would say their three one away win to lazio

944
01:37:11,280 --> 01:37:16,960
um or their one nil at home to atalanta but i can't not say they're three to win against

945
01:37:16,960 --> 01:37:22,960
odinesa that confirmed survival um who was it that grabbed the goal truce the kong truce the

946
01:37:22,960 --> 01:37:29,120
home grab the goal at the end that to me fucking i watched a game with adam ryan yes i was showering

947
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:34,160
when the goal happened i watched the majority of the game though that was that's a fair shout

948
01:37:34,160 --> 01:37:40,480
where's loss 82 to atalanta we move for sure we move let's share let's share oh my god i forgot

949
01:37:44,800 --> 01:37:51,840
my god i don't want to do that real quick give me a second okay let me pause it we're back i'm

950
01:37:51,840 --> 01:37:55,920
your host matt with the guy that thinks that there are 19 teams and say yeah

951
01:37:57,680 --> 01:38:04,400
forgot lecture who i love by the way no offense i love watching you no no bro bro don't don't even

952
01:38:04,400 --> 01:38:09,440
joke okay i know i know i know i love lecture i know but there are 19 teams all right top now this

953
01:38:09,440 --> 01:38:14,560
was my debate that i had in these five minutes that we've been paused and so you look at the

954
01:38:14,560 --> 01:38:20,800
two factors that kept lecture alive okay so in order to survive you must first not concede goals

955
01:38:20,800 --> 01:38:26,400
but then you must also score goals to win games now what do you prioritize as a newly promoted

956
01:38:26,400 --> 01:38:33,520
team scoring goals is important but not conceding is even more important now is it it's debatable

957
01:38:34,320 --> 01:38:42,800
i think that um titty brought a certain defensive stability that was crucial the lectures that the

958
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:48,240
lectures survival um titty not only brought this defensive stability he also carried the ball

959
01:38:48,240 --> 01:38:54,640
forward he drove well he played had an incredible season revitalized through this experience as well

960
01:38:54,640 --> 01:38:59,440
so i would actually go for um titty over straffetta who i did goals and forces and in fact

961
01:38:59,440 --> 01:39:04,000
um lecture never actually conceded more than two goals in a game until the very last game of the

962
01:39:04,000 --> 01:39:09,120
season so and that's all thanks to um titty and bascaratos partnership and i'm gonna go for um

963
01:39:09,120 --> 01:39:16,160
titty yes you i'm gonna go for straffetta because um obviously you have to take their defense into

964
01:39:16,160 --> 01:39:23,040
account so well done to to all those four defenders the um titties the bascaratos the gendres all of

965
01:39:23,040 --> 01:39:28,320
the gallows the gallows amazing back four that remained consistent throughout the entire season

966
01:39:28,320 --> 01:39:33,040
straffetta to me looked like a seria player when they had just gotten promoted to seria

967
01:39:33,440 --> 01:39:39,840
um he was that x factor for them eight goals and six assists this season he won a lot of fouls she

968
01:39:39,840 --> 01:39:45,520
was constantly crossing the ball in having a pop from distance he's who you would fear when you go

969
01:39:45,520 --> 01:39:50,800
up against lecce their strikers didn't have phenomenal seasons they had cc with six goals

970
01:39:50,800 --> 01:39:57,680
and colombo with five goals and on the other side there was the francesco and banda battling it out

971
01:39:57,680 --> 01:40:03,040
the francesco kind of took the cake over there banda you'll see but not quite tops bro they're

972
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:09,520
still quite far exactly yeah yeah yeah yeah straffetta stood out in that front three he stood

973
01:40:09,520 --> 01:40:16,640
out in the entire team for me so he has to take the top flop pezzella for me former parma and

974
01:40:16,640 --> 01:40:20,800
atalanta man who should have played way more than he did especially when you when you go from starting

975
01:40:20,800 --> 01:40:26,720
most games with atalanta to barely featuring for lecce granted i think baroni had his

976
01:40:27,520 --> 01:40:32,320
his four his back four laid out and he stuck with them all season but pezzella should have definitely

977
01:40:32,320 --> 01:40:40,080
gone more of a sniff than yeah and when you consider that banda was brought in for four million when

978
01:40:40,080 --> 01:40:47,200
they got promoted to seria and he failed to cement himself in the starting 11 because of the francesco

979
01:40:47,200 --> 01:40:50,960
i would put him as my flop mainly because of the four million for a team that would be tight on

980
01:40:50,960 --> 01:40:56,400
budget and that's the reason i put them i don't think he had that disgusting season don't get me

981
01:40:56,400 --> 01:41:01,600
wrong but i think a lot of people would have been hyped about banda and i don't think he lived up to

982
01:41:01,600 --> 01:41:08,720
that hype so flop i disagree but i respect your opinion bro okay i thought banda was extremely

983
01:41:08,720 --> 01:41:16,320
technical skillful joy to watch granted raw extremely raw but i wouldn't i wouldn't call him

984
01:41:16,320 --> 01:41:22,640
the flop okay unsung for me it was easy i think we might have the same answer three two one huelman

985
01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:28,000
huelman is a player that you don't notice very much unless you watch very closely and you watch

986
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:33,920
how the team operates but he is the glue no huelman no lecce exactly another fantastic

987
01:41:33,920 --> 01:41:39,200
player in his position same metronome kind of role yep that we're talking about i have the

988
01:41:39,200 --> 01:41:43,840
fact that he is a metronome he's very street smart and he's very consistent and he linked the defense

989
01:41:43,840 --> 01:41:49,120
to attack very well and broke down play very top clubs are all author huelman they signed him for

990
01:41:49,120 --> 01:41:56,720
15 million let's just sign huelman for 15 million what they fucking balled out for him bro best win

991
01:41:56,720 --> 01:42:01,600
for me to one against lots you have they beat atalanta to one twice this season so they got

992
01:42:01,600 --> 01:42:07,040
bragging rights over a europa league team gasperini's men so to me that takes it i've lost

993
01:42:07,040 --> 01:42:12,800
your second in the league that's also quite nice yeah um whereas loss was the verona no they lost

994
01:42:12,800 --> 01:42:18,160
twice to them double lost to verona you lose once to verona and you're a do do shit they lost twice

995
01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:28,560
to verona so do do shit lovely treads no verona oh because they you know of course beat them so

996
01:42:28,560 --> 01:42:36,880
they did you do verona you're joking you didn't do verona either bro you're a mess man

997
01:42:40,480 --> 01:42:43,760
i'm gonna pause it again so that jake can do his prep

998
01:42:43,760 --> 01:42:50,080
okay we're back it's your host matt with the guy that thinks that there are 18 teams

999
01:42:50,080 --> 01:42:55,360
and say yeah bro okay 18 some people think that that should be the case by the way

1000
01:42:55,360 --> 01:43:00,720
well idiots um doesn't make that much of a difference but it does hey gives more teams

1001
01:43:01,520 --> 01:43:06,240
why would every other league in the top five have 20 but it really has 18 what's italy lacking that

1002
01:43:06,240 --> 01:43:10,800
other team the other leagues fair enough fair enough have yeah who's verona's top for you

1003
01:43:10,800 --> 01:43:17,600
verona's top for me is docker lazovich who had four goals in six assists this season he was

1004
01:43:18,160 --> 01:43:25,520
versatile played in different roles wasn't only out on the wing i thought he created goal scoring

1005
01:43:25,520 --> 01:43:30,400
opportunities where the midfield couldn't and and scored chances that the strikers couldn't as well

1006
01:43:30,400 --> 01:43:35,600
so for me lazovich was the top he hit a new level this season lazovich um he was known as the left

1007
01:43:35,600 --> 01:43:40,960
wing back for verona but played as left wing played as attacking midfielder occasionally even as

1008
01:43:40,960 --> 01:43:48,880
fucking striker um lazovich for me easy uh flop checkerini was beaten a lot he was beaten a lot

1009
01:43:48,880 --> 01:43:56,080
i've got a couple of red cards if i'm not mistaken i thought k dog lazzy bro k dog lazzy my expectations

1010
01:43:56,080 --> 01:44:02,480
weren't high for him not that mine were for checkerini but if if you look at um their back

1011
01:44:02,480 --> 01:44:09,040
three verona it could be any one of those any one of those but to me checkerini looked poor

1012
01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:15,120
for the entire season i don't even think that what's his name not drago sin not dragovski what's his

1013
01:44:15,120 --> 01:44:23,920
name um what are you thinking about bro davidovic okay davidovic he wasn't great either like he was

1014
01:44:23,920 --> 01:44:29,840
beaten a lot for a paceman throughout the season okay i think lazania's time in seia is over

1015
01:44:29,840 --> 01:44:34,640
uh probably i think you should go yeah he's say right there are strikers in seia who are better

1016
01:44:34,640 --> 01:44:43,840
than kevin lazania and he plays on fifa 26 games for kevin lazania one goal one assist in 1577

1017
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:52,320
minutes that is not good enough kevin lazania is my flop fair enough uh unsung hero mine is in gonj

1018
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:57,280
um a lot of people wouldn't consider him to be one of the tops because he came in halfway through

1019
01:44:57,280 --> 01:45:02,800
the season and he was out injured for a lot of that time um but he saved them from relegation

1020
01:45:02,800 --> 01:45:10,560
quite frankly especially in the spezia play out he was on it bro he was on it in the most important

1021
01:45:10,560 --> 01:45:15,040
game of their season to me he's the unsung hero i wouldn't call him unsung though he scored two

1022
01:45:15,040 --> 01:45:21,680
goals in the playoff final um he he scored many goals to keep their fight for survival possible

1023
01:45:21,680 --> 01:45:26,960
i wouldn't call him unsung but you see that you see how you just instantly thought of the last game

1024
01:45:26,960 --> 01:45:32,560
when he came when he came in he changed he changed things he they went on that streak because of

1025
01:45:32,560 --> 01:45:38,080
everyone knows that it was because of engonj you ask the people of helas of verona why did helas

1026
01:45:38,080 --> 01:45:43,120
stay up that they would always say engonj was a massive factor to it i don't know i look at

1027
01:45:43,120 --> 01:45:49,440
monte po for example monte po i have understood as a monte po and verdi are very good shots not only

1028
01:45:49,440 --> 01:45:56,480
verdi hien the center back is really amazing player very good so yours is hien mine uh in the

1029
01:45:56,480 --> 01:46:03,280
end is monte po dude fair enough fair enough yes but he um saved the penalty in the play out so

1030
01:46:09,440 --> 01:46:18,400
okay um best win for them best win for helas verona there were not many um we've got the two

1031
01:46:18,400 --> 01:46:22,000
one against san pedoria we've got the two in the against cremoneze we've got the two in the

1032
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:29,200
against lecce two one against sasua two one against bolonia one the bolonia one is mine

1033
01:46:29,200 --> 01:46:37,040
the one on your mind's the play out final victory man they were up to the time absolutely that's

1034
01:46:37,040 --> 01:46:41,600
obviously their best win because because they stayed insane because of it

1035
01:46:44,480 --> 01:46:50,480
yes let's let's go with that the worst loss has to be

1036
01:46:50,480 --> 01:46:59,040
um my god i have the six nil against verona what am i doing um six nil against inter bro against

1037
01:46:59,040 --> 01:47:03,760
inter yeah the while they were fighting relegation the worst one terrible i thought we both made them

1038
01:47:03,760 --> 01:47:12,560
mistake yeah the phoenix after verona we've got cremoneze no dog no don't worry i have them

1039
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:19,200
prepared my top of the season is always also the flop of the play out it's in zola he's got 13

1040
01:47:19,200 --> 01:47:25,840
goals to assist in 32 games was by far their best player in the league disappointed them in the

1041
01:47:25,840 --> 01:47:31,200
play out but yes 13 goals for one of the worst teams in the league wow man you have to hand it

1042
01:47:31,200 --> 01:47:38,320
to in zola he stays in seria i really see him at atalanta especially if they offload huelm uh

1043
01:47:38,320 --> 01:47:44,480
hoiland for the money i think in zola is a very budget replacement for a relegated side turns out

1044
01:47:44,480 --> 01:47:49,600
manchester united are shocked by atalanta's demands of 80 million 80 millions i think i think they

1045
01:47:49,600 --> 01:47:57,040
forgot how much they paid for a little trow or whatever flop uh shumar adov joined from roma and

1046
01:47:57,040 --> 01:48:03,200
failed to insert himself agreed agreed i also have um i have someone different though caldara

1047
01:48:03,200 --> 01:48:08,160
yeah caldara wasn't great caldara isn't great in general has so much experience a great cv with

1048
01:48:08,160 --> 01:48:14,960
you van milan but really doesn't play like it unsung hero i have ampadu for his versatility and

1049
01:48:14,960 --> 01:48:21,120
his industry he was everywhere for them but he made a few mistakes he made a few mistakes he

1050
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:26,320
was dribbled kind of easily at times i think his compatriot at the back dimitrios nikolaou

1051
01:48:27,520 --> 01:48:33,760
looked more solid for the majority of the season i put nikolaou fair i think ampadu would have

1052
01:48:33,760 --> 01:48:40,080
um impacted other areas more than nikolaou i just think nikolaou is more consistent yeah yeah

1053
01:48:40,720 --> 01:48:46,000
um best win two one over inter even though everyone got one two nil over milan towards the

1054
01:48:46,000 --> 01:48:51,600
end of the season milan where champions league semi-finals all that and spezia got it done over

1055
01:48:51,600 --> 01:48:58,000
fair enough that's a good shout where's loss uh four nil play out final play out final yeah

1056
01:48:58,000 --> 01:49:03,360
fucking day they weren't up to it like they also lost four nil at home to torino with two games to

1057
01:49:03,360 --> 01:49:07,760
go well they were fighting for their lives yes now that sucked torino were so good in that game but

1058
01:49:07,760 --> 01:49:12,400
spezia were so rubbish they were so shit they look destined for the drop literally literally

1059
01:49:12,400 --> 01:49:19,680
cremoneze top okay two uh okay seven goals to assist scored some fantastic goals and on his

1060
01:49:19,680 --> 01:49:23,680
day he was great there aren't many players you can look at cremoneze and say they were tops

1061
01:49:23,680 --> 01:49:30,320
it was between him and valeri yes yes but okay on his day still on his day because he's not

1062
01:49:30,320 --> 01:49:37,040
consistent was their top agree flop afanajan afanajan again joined from roma and he looked

1063
01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:42,880
he looked great at roma which is hilarious and then he failed to assert himself for such a

1064
01:49:42,880 --> 01:49:48,480
shite team 23 games zero goals one assist in the league there you go unsung hero daniel

1065
01:49:48,480 --> 01:49:53,360
shofani for me despite being 37 years old he managed to get eight league goals in 32 games

1066
01:49:53,360 --> 01:50:01,200
um yeah for me daniel shofani is the unsung hero fair enough um i have meite as the unsung hero

1067
01:50:01,200 --> 01:50:07,040
i love i think he was brilliant i think he was really good yes good player best win um two one

1068
01:50:07,040 --> 01:50:13,840
over moreno's roma agreed where's loss uh five one against bolonia okay i went for the one

1069
01:50:13,840 --> 01:50:19,920
against some of their the five one against bolonia it not because it was five one to bolonia because

1070
01:50:19,920 --> 01:50:25,840
orsalini was on it that game everyone was on it for bolonia that game but every single flaw they

1071
01:50:25,840 --> 01:50:30,240
had that i noticed throughout the entire season got exploited in that one game against bolonia

1072
01:50:30,800 --> 01:50:40,080
so yeah that was the game of the magnificent orsalini corner ah yes fantastic magnificent

1073
01:50:40,080 --> 01:50:49,200
corner there all right up next sampdoria top final one manolo gabiodini yes 35 games seven

1074
01:50:49,200 --> 01:50:54,640
goals three assists and finally finally finally a season without many injuries you don't often say

1075
01:50:54,640 --> 01:50:58,800
that gabiodini managed 35 games in a season so for me he performed very well this year and he was

1076
01:50:58,800 --> 01:51:05,200
the best player dare we say dare we say that he was also versatile after being played out on the

1077
01:51:05,200 --> 01:51:12,800
wing we could say that yes that's a fair shout yes he played many games out on the wing as well

1078
01:51:12,800 --> 01:51:19,280
poor flop sabiri hesa okay fair enough it's supposed to change i didn't know it was like

1079
01:51:19,280 --> 01:51:23,760
nani would have been the flop for venet but my expectations of hesa were less than my

1080
01:51:23,760 --> 01:51:28,560
expectations for sabir i didn't expect sabir to only have 18 appearances and two goals i thought

1081
01:51:28,560 --> 01:51:34,000
he would be better i thought it would be a constant 30 games minimum that's true i still say hesa

1082
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:39,200
because still that was like that he was supposed to help them survive he hadn't even been playing

1083
01:51:39,200 --> 01:51:43,920
football bro yeah that's true yeah like retired they're taking like a gap year from football

1084
01:51:43,920 --> 01:51:51,520
unsung hero augello newy tink big bram big fucking bram they're both good shouts they're both good

1085
01:51:51,520 --> 01:51:56,240
augello played every single game except one of them 37 appearances two goals five assists solid

1086
01:51:56,240 --> 01:52:02,800
at the back good going forward looks dependable could be a vice anyone for the top teams yeah i

1087
01:52:02,800 --> 01:52:06,800
agree i think newy tink odineza let them go prematurely i think they could have still used

1088
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:12,160
them for a couple more years um he joined sambdoria and for a while they actually looked decent

1089
01:52:12,160 --> 01:52:17,200
with big bram with newy tink in place he's good to me he's the unsung hero not that they have any

1090
01:52:17,760 --> 01:52:24,800
heroes after finishing last in seia but which of sambdoria's three victories was their best one

1091
01:52:24,800 --> 01:52:30,640
i'm gonna go for the three one victory over helos veron i thought that but veron uh finished in the

1092
01:52:30,640 --> 01:52:36,480
bottom four so i went for the two one away victory to sasualo okay because sasualo were actually

1093
01:52:36,480 --> 01:52:42,640
okay fair enough their worst loss four zero eight to serenitano oh fair enough i put five

1094
01:52:42,640 --> 01:52:47,520
nil for orientina simply because out of all their losses it was the worst one i put four nil to

1095
01:52:47,520 --> 01:52:52,640
serenitano because serenitano aren't as good as forientino yeah fair enough wow man that's that
