00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:17,960
Hello and welcome to episode 87 of Seria Spotlight, we are hosts Matt and Jake.

2
00:00:17,960 --> 00:00:23,600
Today we'll be bringing you guys a Milan special, we're joined by two lifelong Milan fans.

3
00:00:23,600 --> 00:00:28,440
Now typically we're very inclusive and we talk about Seria and all of the teams but

4
00:00:28,440 --> 00:00:34,920
today we're doing Milan, that's basically it. Yes we've got Benji Flynn with us,

5
00:00:34,920 --> 00:00:43,880
hi guys, Benji25 here to talk about Milan but also roast the shit out of Inter and we've got Luca

6
00:00:43,880 --> 00:00:49,160
Panzavecchia. So I'm Luca also known as Panza, I'm 34 years old, been a live from Milan fan and

7
00:00:49,160 --> 00:00:54,280
my hot take is that CDK is the worst player I've ever seen wearing a Milan shirt. Fucking hell.

8
00:00:54,280 --> 00:01:01,040
The question is will he be the worst player that has ever worn the Atalanta kit? The claim will

9
00:01:01,040 --> 00:01:08,320
find out. Do you think? Oh I'm already screwing up, I got my age wrong. What did you say Matt?

10
00:01:08,320 --> 00:01:14,400
I think I said 35. Whatever, it's okay. So we'll start off with that now that you raised that point.

11
00:01:14,400 --> 00:01:21,760
Do you think that CDK will succeed at Atalanta? Let's ask Flynn first. I mean I don't know,

12
00:01:21,760 --> 00:01:28,120
I mean we'll have to wait and see I guess but it's unfortunate that it didn't really work out

13
00:01:28,120 --> 00:01:31,960
with us you know, I mean all of us I guess had really high expectations especially considering

14
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:39,720
that last year he was the you could argue only real major signing that we made and even at the

15
00:01:39,720 --> 00:01:43,480
beginning of the season you know how it started, at the beginning of last season rather how it

16
00:01:43,480 --> 00:01:51,400
started he did show you know those couple of flashes the Bologna game comes to mind the home

17
00:01:51,400 --> 00:01:56,240
game and I was recently seeing the highlights of some of the Champions League games even against

18
00:01:56,240 --> 00:02:06,800
Salisburgo. They had a couple of moments but you know not everything works out. I mean even if

19
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:10,760
he was to go there and be a success I don't think it would be that great a tragedy because with us

20
00:02:10,760 --> 00:02:16,520
I don't think I mean even with this 4-3-3 that we're playing with I don't think he's gonna find

21
00:02:16,520 --> 00:02:23,760
his place. But I think I mean he could just like a last point I think he's a good player and you

22
00:02:23,760 --> 00:02:30,280
know he's still very young I think he's only turning 22-23 this year. So and you know the Atalanta

23
00:02:30,280 --> 00:02:36,800
doctors give him a bit of encouragement as they're known to do I think he I think he can succeed

24
00:02:36,800 --> 00:02:41,240
there. Yes the story might have been different if that goal hadn't been cancelled right? Yeah

25
00:02:41,240 --> 00:02:46,240
that goal he scored was unjustly cancelled but anyway Pons what do you think? I think he's a

26
00:02:46,240 --> 00:02:52,800
quality player sometimes it just doesn't work out for players at certain clubs I think he's

27
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:58,560
still very raw I think the formation we play doesn't really suit him as well as Ben said. I

28
00:02:58,560 --> 00:03:06,280
mean I think he will come good for whoever he ends up playing for but I think I'm actually not sure

29
00:03:06,280 --> 00:03:10,760
if he has what it takes mentally to be a top footballer because I mean in today's game you

30
00:03:10,760 --> 00:03:15,880
kind of know the talent you want in the world but if you don't have the right mentality if you're

31
00:03:15,880 --> 00:03:21,080
not able to take bad performances in your stride I feel like you can become a good player but I

32
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:25,600
don't think he can become an exceptional player and as we saw the beginning with Milan I mean he

33
00:03:25,600 --> 00:03:30,360
was good I think he had an assist against Bologna he was playing well even I remember him coming on

34
00:03:30,360 --> 00:03:35,480
in the first game of the season against the Dinesse and they seemed like very solid creating

35
00:03:35,480 --> 00:03:43,320
play taking flash players and it just was a downhill slope as the season progresses. It had

36
00:03:43,320 --> 00:03:48,520
become so sad you see the fans like cheering him on trying to motivate him and he's clearly just

37
00:03:48,520 --> 00:03:52,760
fucking up and everyone's just cheering him on to try to give him some like a little bit of an

38
00:03:52,760 --> 00:03:58,440
injection of confidence but he has never got it. I think he's better suited for Atalanta if you look

39
00:03:58,440 --> 00:04:03,720
at them systematically and you look at the players that have succeeded in the same position that he

40
00:04:03,720 --> 00:04:08,760
plays in like we can't help but look at him and think Ilychic no when you think of the size and

41
00:04:08,760 --> 00:04:15,880
the nifty footwork it's kind of like what Ilychic brought maybe a sweeter foot to Ilychic's game

42
00:04:15,880 --> 00:04:23,480
and better vision but Charles if he's molded into that Atalanta number 10 role by Gasperini I do

43
00:04:23,480 --> 00:04:29,720
think he can have a higher ceiling at Atalanta than he would at Milan especially with the 4-3-3

44
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:35,480
as well and a criticism that I saw about Piolli recently I'm kind of going to jump into something

45
00:04:35,480 --> 00:04:42,760
else but still referencing this was signing a new player and instantly starting him off in a brand

46
00:04:42,760 --> 00:04:48,360
new position so for Pulisic for example who's a left winger by trade it's been rumored that he's

47
00:04:48,360 --> 00:04:51,640
going to start as an attacking midfielder for Milan it's been rumored he's going to be a right

48
00:04:51,640 --> 00:04:57,480
winger and he's only played on the right wing for Milan thus far. Same thing with Charles is he was

49
00:04:57,480 --> 00:05:02,440
signed was he signed as a right winger was he signed as an attacking midfielder he was replacing

50
00:05:02,440 --> 00:05:07,400
players in both roles there was a time he even slotted into a false nine role so I don't think

51
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:13,960
there was that stability for him and I don't think it's all necessarily his fault. If I can add

52
00:05:13,960 --> 00:05:20,360
something please I feel like he's kind of a victim of his own position because it's kind of like he

53
00:05:20,360 --> 00:05:27,480
doesn't have his own position kind of like how like Kai Havards is and maybe Thomas Muller but he's

54
00:05:27,480 --> 00:05:33,480
sort of adapted himself to be the best at that role but I think he's still I'm not sure if he's

55
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:38,200
a he's better suited as a as a cams a right winger as a false nine as a striker and I think

56
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,680
something key to him succeeding in his career is finding out what position he's best at and

57
00:05:44,680 --> 00:05:48,680
really trying to develop his game there. Exactly otherwise he's just utility you sign him as a

58
00:05:48,680 --> 00:05:53,640
player with with versatility and you just pop him in wherever you need exactly exactly. So enough

59
00:05:53,640 --> 00:06:00,440
with the old let's focus more on the new right who are the top three Milan signings that you are

60
00:06:00,440 --> 00:06:09,000
most excited to see so far. Shall I start? Sure. Okay I'm gonna go Chukouese I think Milan have

61
00:06:09,000 --> 00:06:13,640
struggled so much in the right wing department that bringing in a right winger of that caliber

62
00:06:13,640 --> 00:06:20,600
is a great sign so Chukouese for sure. I think Reinders has shown us exactly what he's capable

63
00:06:20,600 --> 00:06:25,720
of I think he's a very very nifty talented player and I think it's an upgrade I think we will see

64
00:06:25,720 --> 00:06:31,720
halfway through the season that it's an upgrade from Tonali especially output wise and and then

65
00:06:31,720 --> 00:06:39,800
I'm torn between a couple but I'm gonna say um Pulisic just overlofted streak simply because we

66
00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:44,920
know his ceiling and we know that there are five matches in the season where we're gonna consider

67
00:06:44,920 --> 00:06:49,640
him to be among some of the best players that Milan have at the moment so I'll say those three.

68
00:06:50,520 --> 00:07:01,800
Flynn. Rudolph the Red does Reinders. Yes. I mean yeah I mean just based off the couple of games

69
00:07:01,800 --> 00:07:08,280
I've seen so I mean I didn't see much of preseason but I saw a bit of the Barca game and all

70
00:07:08,280 --> 00:07:14,040
our snipe against Monza and Reinders for me has looked really really good. I really really I have

71
00:07:14,680 --> 00:07:22,200
I think the success of our team this year will okay the attackers and you know we're all hoping

72
00:07:22,200 --> 00:07:27,960
that they can produce and we can be a team that scores a lot of goals but I think in that midfield

73
00:07:27,960 --> 00:07:36,280
position him and off this cheek together if they hit I think we can really be a dangerous team.

74
00:07:36,280 --> 00:07:43,720
I mean now like Reinders the way he can play the ball the way he's direct you know he receives

75
00:07:43,720 --> 00:07:50,520
it and goes once the ball forward you know he glides and with with those demons who have on the

76
00:07:50,520 --> 00:07:56,360
wing you know and Chico has and Leo who probably are good for a hundred meters more than good

77
00:07:56,360 --> 00:08:02,040
work. So a player like that who can start the count day you know it's we he can I think really

78
00:08:02,040 --> 00:08:08,840
bring something something to us to see and you know I mean all of them to be honest I mean

79
00:08:08,840 --> 00:08:15,400
it's always nice to see new new players new players join. I mean there are many and do I think they're

80
00:08:15,400 --> 00:08:23,880
all hit I mean I hope they do you know but we'll just have to wait and see I guess who will be

81
00:08:23,880 --> 00:08:28,120
the best and who'll be the next the catheter. Yeah exactly.

82
00:08:28,120 --> 00:08:34,600
I'm gonna hop on the Reinders bandwagon. I think he's fantastic. I think that we had a problem

83
00:08:34,600 --> 00:08:40,280
last season with keeping the ball in certain games like I think of the many games we played

84
00:08:40,280 --> 00:08:46,680
against in turn we just couldn't gain control of those games even with the thing is that with

85
00:08:46,680 --> 00:08:52,280
Tonali as much as I appreciated him as a player I think he's fantastic. I think he was worth the

86
00:08:52,280 --> 00:08:58,920
80 million that Nicos paid for him. I don't think he's technically wise I don't think he's as good

87
00:08:58,920 --> 00:09:05,720
as Reinders could be at least he's more of a sort of workhorse type player and sometimes

88
00:09:05,720 --> 00:09:09,880
or like despite all the good he's done and the goals he scored and the assists he's given

89
00:09:10,760 --> 00:09:14,040
he would be one of the players that would tend to lose the ball a bit more cheap.

90
00:09:14,040 --> 00:09:23,000
You don't see that with Benacer for example. When we switched to a 3-4-3 was it? Tonali seemed

91
00:09:23,000 --> 00:09:27,320
to be the worst player on the pitch in midfield. You think of the Sasuolo game, the Udenesia

92
00:09:27,320 --> 00:09:33,640
game, the Lazio game and the Inter game Tonali couldn't string a pass together and he was often

93
00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:39,160
compared to Pirloi compared to Gattu software his industry personally. He was unrecognizable

94
00:09:39,160 --> 00:09:46,280
in those games. And your other two brother? Chocobez, easy one I mean he seems like an electric

95
00:09:46,280 --> 00:09:52,200
player calm way to have a sort of actual decent right winger after enduring the torture of watching

96
00:09:52,200 --> 00:09:59,800
fucking CS. Salomaca is good but still I don't think he's good enough to be a starting right

97
00:09:59,800 --> 00:10:05,080
winger in a team like Milan and I'm gonna go for a bit more maybe controversial one I like Mousa

98
00:10:05,080 --> 00:10:11,560
a lot. I like what I see I like what I see I think he could be the long awaited replacement for

99
00:10:11,560 --> 00:10:16,120
Kessie find it maybe a bit symbolic that he shows number 80 and Kessie was 79 maybe.

100
00:10:20,120 --> 00:10:24,520
No but I think he's great on the ball from what I've watched I'm not gonna lie I haven't seen much

101
00:10:24,520 --> 00:10:30,040
Valencia play but I mean I've seen around 20 minutes of him play like on YouTube and

102
00:10:30,040 --> 00:10:35,240
yeah and even though he's a more box-to-box type in fielder from what I've seen I think that he has

103
00:10:35,240 --> 00:10:42,680
the ball control and the press resistance to be to be placed in a pivot. He's very versatile and

104
00:10:42,680 --> 00:10:49,160
that's what coaches appreciate about him he had I believe in he had about six coaches or something

105
00:10:49,160 --> 00:10:55,640
in a very short span of time or something and he broke he burst into the scene at 17 years old

106
00:10:55,640 --> 00:11:01,800
into the basically into the squad of Valencia but then didn't really cement himself into the team

107
00:11:01,800 --> 00:11:06,680
for a while and apparently he was excluded for technical reasons from Valencia which I find a

108
00:11:06,680 --> 00:11:13,560
little bit worrying personally. But yes Injury with trust and Milan with trust. Exactly.

109
00:11:14,920 --> 00:11:22,600
Dude, what about you? Me? You're a top three bro. All right I'm gonna go okay Reinders I'm very

110
00:11:22,600 --> 00:11:28,760
excited to see I'm very excited to see what Ruben can do as well off this free and I'm gonna go for

111
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:38,680
Rocker four man because I don't quite I don't quite know. He's a bit of a gambit. Yes but he's

112
00:11:38,680 --> 00:11:42,680
very versatile as well like he can play on the wing he can play striker I'm curious to see what the

113
00:11:42,680 --> 00:11:47,000
striker can run in behind can do because we haven't had one of those in so long like who was the last

114
00:11:47,000 --> 00:11:53,000
striker we had who was capable of running in behind? Carlos Bucka. No chance. Revige before he became

115
00:11:53,720 --> 00:11:58,760
horrendous when he played striker I guess but yeah. No but I don't think he's a striker at all.

116
00:11:58,760 --> 00:12:07,720
Castileo at all. Castileo at all. Jesus Christ what a fever. I think shout out by the way to Romero.

117
00:12:07,720 --> 00:12:13,160
Oh yeah. Romero as a utility player to bring on at the right wing in the 68th minute is gonna be

118
00:12:13,160 --> 00:12:20,040
very very nice. He's gonna be more important than we think he will be. And it's also worth pointing

119
00:12:20,040 --> 00:12:24,200
out since since we all mentioned and you're the only one that mentioned him in your top three Jake

120
00:12:24,200 --> 00:12:29,240
in my opinion the best preseason out of the Milan players out of the new ones was Loftus

121
00:12:29,240 --> 00:12:34,760
Schriek. I think Loftus Schriek looked really really tidy in the last game against Monza he

122
00:12:34,760 --> 00:12:39,880
was everything in that midfield. Reinders had a good game yes but Loftus Schriek physically

123
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:44,520
unjust his presence he was everywhere he covered every plate of grass that there was. He's a beast.

124
00:12:44,520 --> 00:12:50,440
I don't think there's a player quite like him in Serie A right now. No. I like a player with

125
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:58,360
a similar style to him was Sergei and now Sergei is gone. Exactly. Exactly. Do the injuries and

126
00:12:58,360 --> 00:13:09,000
consistency record concern you? Yes. Right. No I mean that's why we've both all these guys now.

127
00:13:09,000 --> 00:13:16,920
I mean look at it this way if Goldfabred Touchwood Laos is out now there's Okafor and

128
00:13:16,920 --> 00:13:25,640
Polisicius as well who can play there. If Giroud is out there's Okafor there's Colombo still there

129
00:13:25,640 --> 00:13:31,080
or Rigg is not going anywhere. I think I know what's there. Even on the right you know Sergei

130
00:13:31,080 --> 00:13:38,040
Cicuese there's also Polisicius is going to play there as well there's Salamac is still there too

131
00:13:38,040 --> 00:13:45,080
and has experience in the league. I mean so hopefully for once in our lives we don't have to deal with

132
00:13:46,200 --> 00:13:53,960
having four or five players out but at the same time if that were to happen we should be covered

133
00:13:53,960 --> 00:14:01,560
you know. I mean hope again it goes back to the point of hoping that they all hit and that everyone

134
00:14:01,560 --> 00:14:09,800
can find their place in the team but I guess that's what made Inter great towards the end of last

135
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:15,160
year was their depth and what needs to make us and what we lacked and what we should have addressed

136
00:14:15,160 --> 00:14:22,120
and I think have is the depth issue. Maybe purely we'll make substitutions with having decent players

137
00:14:22,120 --> 00:14:28,760
on the bench. Yeah hopefully one more striker will come in and the centre back. I've heard rumors

138
00:14:28,760 --> 00:14:36,680
about Caldara and that's the last thing. How have we had so many semis by the way and none of them

139
00:14:36,680 --> 00:14:41,160
are related? It's true. We've had so many semis like since I was a child.

140
00:14:42,840 --> 00:14:47,480
I remember one of the champions in the league. I remember we had one who was young he had an

141
00:14:47,480 --> 00:14:53,800
amazing friendly game and he said something very controversial like something like you

142
00:14:53,800 --> 00:14:59,240
said during an interview like something like Forza Miller. I don't know what he had said. Then he

143
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:03,400
depty vanished and now we have another one out of nowhere. This guy is quite the real deal.

144
00:15:07,400 --> 00:15:13,160
He looks very composed. So what would it take guys for you to sell Radek Kronich?

145
00:15:13,160 --> 00:15:24,920
A plan on who's going to replace him first and foremost. A plan on using the money wisely.

146
00:15:24,920 --> 00:15:31,800
When it comes to his value I wouldn't value him any less than 25 million. 25 million.

147
00:15:33,240 --> 00:15:38,600
McTominay and McGuire are going for 80 million combined bro. Kronich is a quality player.

148
00:15:38,600 --> 00:15:45,160
He is a quality player but hopefully yes I agree. But 25 million.

149
00:15:47,800 --> 00:15:52,920
I'd accept 24 but there needs to be a plan on the replacement. I feel like it's way more important

150
00:15:52,920 --> 00:16:00,120
that people give him credit. There is supply and demand. When we look at what Milan struggled last

151
00:16:00,120 --> 00:16:04,040
season like we were talking about when it came to Ben Asera and Tonali playing together in that

152
00:16:04,040 --> 00:16:09,160
double pivot role. How Tonali kept on giving the ball away. There wasn't enough physicality although

153
00:16:09,160 --> 00:16:16,440
they both are very industrious players. When Milan struggled throughout that period Kronich came in

154
00:16:16,440 --> 00:16:21,640
and he tied it up that midfield with his physicality. We know he can defend. We know he can attack.

155
00:16:21,640 --> 00:16:25,240
We've seen him in the attacking midfield role. We've seen him as a left winger as well.

156
00:16:25,880 --> 00:16:33,080
I think he is in a brand new midfield for Milan. He is a midfielder who knows the team

157
00:16:33,080 --> 00:16:36,920
who puts his heart on the line for the team and I wouldn't sell him for any less than I'd rather

158
00:16:36,920 --> 00:16:46,040
have him than 20 million. But with Ben Asera in jail as well. I mean then I think getting too

159
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:55,480
much change to a whole part of the pitch. If Ben Asera was fit and was playing I mean we all know

160
00:16:55,480 --> 00:17:00,440
that the midfield will eventually be Ben Asera and he is one of the cheek in an ideal.

161
00:17:00,440 --> 00:17:05,560
But I don't know how long it's going to be. I've been hearing some say November some say

162
00:17:06,120 --> 00:17:09,960
even February. I'm going to go there though. I posted some Jim with you.

163
00:17:11,960 --> 00:17:18,520
Yeah I saw you. Given the current situation we're in so close to the start of the season

164
00:17:19,560 --> 00:17:24,280
I personally think that it would be a bit it's a difficult move to do.

165
00:17:24,280 --> 00:17:30,840
And purely I mean purely lovescrew. Absolutely you're taking away one of the coach's favorite

166
00:17:30,840 --> 00:17:35,080
players. Apparently Salary Demons no he's demanding a higher salary. Four million I believe.

167
00:17:36,920 --> 00:17:44,840
But for me if Cronage were to go the only justifiable explanation for it to bring in a natural

168
00:17:44,840 --> 00:17:51,080
six like Maxim Lopez for example. We don't have one apart from Ben Asera. No one. I mean hear me out

169
00:17:51,080 --> 00:17:56,840
oddly. I don't think he's got the physicality for that position. I thought making me dream.

170
00:17:57,800 --> 00:18:02,440
There needs to be a crusher. I think yes I agree that advice is needed for Ben Asera. They still

171
00:18:02,440 --> 00:18:08,520
work to be made in that position. But I think having Musa as the only real crusher now arrived

172
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:13,000
Ben Asera tackles off the streak tackles well don't have a Kessie and that was that's what

173
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,680
we lacked last. I don't think Kessie was a pure CDM goal. He was boxed a boxed a boxed player.

174
00:18:18,680 --> 00:18:23,320
I mean he's strong and they could knock you off the ball but he wasn't like that low lying

175
00:18:23,320 --> 00:18:29,720
six absorbing pressure part like spotting was pretty shit man. Not the strongest point.

176
00:18:29,720 --> 00:18:36,520
He had many strengths but that wasn't one. I think Musa kind of is a more modern maybe slightly

177
00:18:36,520 --> 00:18:43,720
weaker but a more technical type of midfielder and he'll help with us controlling games like I

178
00:18:43,720 --> 00:18:47,880
mentioned before. Him and Ryan just keeping the ball I think will help us dominate possession

179
00:18:47,880 --> 00:18:55,560
and just have more of control over games like you know. Definitely. We've discussed this we

180
00:18:55,560 --> 00:19:00,600
discuss this briefly Flynn before we started recording but the the Monza game yesterday had

181
00:19:00,600 --> 00:19:05,160
Jiru on the ground for a bit too long for a pre-season game and it was kind of foreshadowing

182
00:19:05,160 --> 00:19:10,760
with we expect to see in a very long and complicated season that's to come participating in three

183
00:19:10,760 --> 00:19:16,600
competitions. Is it really smart to go into a season with Jiru Okkafor and Colombo as your

184
00:19:16,600 --> 00:19:21,720
three strikers? And Origi bro. And Origi yeah but let's assume that Origi didn't go to America

185
00:19:21,720 --> 00:19:32,520
and also everyone thinks he's gone. I mean do we need a couple more players I mean I wouldn't say

186
00:19:32,520 --> 00:19:39,400
no you know I mean we're gonna get another forward and I personally believe we need another player

187
00:19:39,400 --> 00:19:46,520
at the back and for the simple reason that Tomora is looking incredibly shaky. It's how I think

188
00:19:46,520 --> 00:19:55,480
is going to be the hopefully the star of the season. Calhulu again you know Center back plays

189
00:19:55,480 --> 00:20:03,320
on the right and Kair is looking all the way by the minute. So I think that just one more experienced

190
00:20:03,320 --> 00:20:09,240
player at the back no serious doesn't need to be a superstar doesn't need to be a you know 20 million

191
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:15,320
25 million signing and you know a lot of hype. Just a guy who can come in you know put in a shift

192
00:20:15,320 --> 00:20:22,280
play 15 20 games when you need to be there. A player up front I mean again same thing you know I mean

193
00:20:22,280 --> 00:20:29,480
if we can just get that experienced striker can come in get contribute 10 15 goals 10 goals to be

194
00:20:29,480 --> 00:20:37,720
honest today is a lot compared to what it was maybe in the past but again a striker can give a

195
00:20:37,720 --> 00:20:45,240
shape put in a shift you know make or we can get you know that sort of e-brack 2011 kind of signing

196
00:20:45,240 --> 00:20:52,280
and then Jiru will be the 10 15 goal striker we can rely on so. But Okafor would be used more as a

197
00:20:52,280 --> 00:20:57,480
striker as a left winger. I think he'll have to be used. I don't think he'll want to be it doesn't

198
00:20:57,480 --> 00:21:01,320
seem like that type of player is going to be third choice striker so that really makes the question

199
00:21:01,320 --> 00:21:07,400
if we're going to bring in an extra striker. I think having Jiru as your main striker only opens

200
00:21:07,400 --> 00:21:11,560
the door for Okafor to get minutes in that position and the fact that you have Leao in the prime of

201
00:21:11,560 --> 00:21:19,320
his life like not a single percentage of fucking body fat on him you know he's not displacing him.

202
00:21:23,560 --> 00:21:30,600
I'm still dreaming about that bull IADR signing. If I'm being honest like I do agree with you in

203
00:21:30,600 --> 00:21:36,600
the sense that Jiru is obviously going to be the starting number nine until until Okafor really

204
00:21:36,600 --> 00:21:41,800
hits it off in that position if he's going to be utilized in that position now because there's that

205
00:21:41,800 --> 00:21:49,400
if and if he gets injured then we'll need to rely on Okafor then if something happens to Okafor

206
00:21:49,400 --> 00:21:55,160
there's Colombo. I still think there needs to be more competition for that starting role bringing

207
00:21:55,160 --> 00:22:01,640
in someone like Dia and then utilizing Okafor as a left winger a right winger and attacking midfielder

208
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:07,160
or a striker. I think it is very important for me not to sign another striker this season especially

209
00:22:07,160 --> 00:22:12,600
we spoke about versatility I think we need to be more versatile. Interesting okay very good.

210
00:22:13,960 --> 00:22:19,240
The next question is actually about Milan's weakness but I think we addressed it right.

211
00:22:19,880 --> 00:22:26,360
What is Milan's weakness currently three to one? Defense I would say the defense personally.

212
00:22:26,360 --> 00:22:33,560
Well the defending set pieces. Okay still you think still it would be a problem? I mean unless I

213
00:22:33,560 --> 00:22:38,040
unless I see it not happening in practice I'm still going to say that's a big weakness and that

214
00:22:38,040 --> 00:22:42,520
sort of brings up a point I had in my mind that I really think that the players who signed this season

215
00:22:43,320 --> 00:22:49,400
are good they're a good fit. I can kind of see this whole algorithm thing working I think

216
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:56,040
assigning is on their own they're good but as much as I respect what Piori has done with Milan and how

217
00:22:56,040 --> 00:23:02,120
he's changed us from essentially a banter team to actual European competitors I'm not sure that he

218
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:12,040
has the tactical ability to move forward with the team. I feel that he's kind of reached his limits

219
00:23:12,040 --> 00:23:17,800
with 4-2-3-1. I'm not counting him out yet but I'm saying that first of all that needs to change

220
00:23:17,800 --> 00:23:23,240
we've seen that how it didn't work at a point in the season and the crumbled and he sort of

221
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:30,600
adapted it a bit. I just wonder if he is the guy to come up with something new some new ideas that

222
00:23:30,600 --> 00:23:37,240
fit the players that we signed I hope so but I think for once in his life he has the tools to

223
00:23:37,240 --> 00:23:42,760
experiment with to try out new systems with you know before it was quite limited you know I mean

224
00:23:42,760 --> 00:23:47,720
three starters dropped which was happening by the way every month like every week rather and there wasn't

225
00:23:47,720 --> 00:23:53,880
really anyone with quality to replace these players but now you know there's like a season

226
00:23:53,880 --> 00:23:59,880
finish outside the top four is purely on Piori. No he has nowhere to hide. You guys think that he's

227
00:23:59,880 --> 00:24:06,760
on the hottest seat in Serie A. Yes hundreds of percent. I mean I don't think anyone's come close

228
00:24:06,760 --> 00:24:12,520
to us in terms of signings or money spent in Serie A. Well when you consider the fact that one of the

229
00:24:12,520 --> 00:24:18,600
reasons Maldini and Jerry didn't see eye to eye was one was predominantly Piori and the other one

230
00:24:18,600 --> 00:24:23,800
was Piori out he's on the hot seat this year it's make or break for him now I know he won the

231
00:24:23,800 --> 00:24:28,040
the league with us but like last year when we played against Inter now you could say okay we

232
00:24:28,040 --> 00:24:32,840
didn't have many players on the bench that are real game changers but when you haven't when you

233
00:24:32,840 --> 00:24:37,800
need two goals you haven't scored until the 70th minute and you still don't make a change and the

234
00:24:37,800 --> 00:24:43,320
game against Monza last night 70 minutes preseason game and you still haven't made a change and then

235
00:24:43,320 --> 00:24:48,120
Giroud and Theo go out limping to me his in-game management is the place where we need to see

236
00:24:48,120 --> 00:24:55,320
significant improvement now he has the tools if he can utilize them then then I can't fault him.

237
00:24:55,320 --> 00:25:00,920
Yes throwback to the Champions League semi-final when we were how many men at Joseph's screaming

238
00:25:00,920 --> 00:25:02,920
screaming for 20.

239
00:25:02,920 --> 00:25:08,200
Screaming for a substitution that happened. Someone predicted the exact substitution that happened.

240
00:25:08,200 --> 00:25:14,600
Shout out to Joe. He's shown to be to be stubborn and that's exactly my point. Yes and I think

241
00:25:14,600 --> 00:25:22,360
Lautaro scored shortly yeah it was like minute 75 or something it was bro but yeah I have a hypothetical

242
00:25:22,360 --> 00:25:30,440
for you guys okay this is about a fan favorite Manon let's say Manon next season so in two weeks

243
00:25:30,440 --> 00:25:41,320
time exciting. Suffers another two-month-long injury. Does your opinion of Mike Chang? Yes yes

244
00:25:41,320 --> 00:25:46,760
in the sense that we know what it's it's the classic scenario with a star that's injury prone

245
00:25:46,760 --> 00:25:53,000
you look at a player like Garrett Bale for example when they're fit they're among the best in their

246
00:25:53,000 --> 00:25:57,640
position in the entire world and I genuinely believe Manon is up there and he's essential to

247
00:25:57,640 --> 00:26:05,320
Milan's system as well but you can't have now at least Milan have Sportiello instead of Tataro

248
00:26:05,320 --> 00:26:11,080
Sano which is a massive plus in case we need a vice but it shouldn't come down to it he's a goalkeeper

249
00:26:11,080 --> 00:26:14,920
now there will be rotation with the cup maybe there will be rotation in some Champions League

250
00:26:14,920 --> 00:26:20,920
as well because Sportiello is no joke in that sense but if he's injured for another two months

251
00:26:20,920 --> 00:26:25,960
it doesn't have to be Mike it can't be anyone who's that injury prone to me it calls for a reshuffle

252
00:26:25,960 --> 00:26:31,400
and he's expensive so you could make good money from him. For a goalkeeper as well it's not usual

253
00:26:31,400 --> 00:26:36,440
that I mean they suffer these kind of injuries I mean he can't have it happening the third year

254
00:26:36,440 --> 00:26:44,840
in a row I think that that would ring a long bell and as in WhatsApp of March and February March

255
00:26:44,840 --> 00:26:55,640
and April 2021 doesn't allow him to have a opinion on Manon. Is that a dollar room apologist? No no

256
00:26:55,640 --> 00:27:04,280
seriously I mean we all know the quality he has and how important he is even from a build-up

257
00:27:04,280 --> 00:27:10,440
perspective and how even his I mean just his leadership alone you know that kind of like

258
00:27:10,440 --> 00:27:22,520
the bores are because of cows but you know it would be a pattern and we thankfully now have an

259
00:27:22,520 --> 00:27:30,360
experienced reserve but I don't want to see the reserve I want to see the we have you know

260
00:27:31,160 --> 00:27:34,840
three players who are the best in the world or one of the best in the world in the position

261
00:27:34,840 --> 00:27:42,760
as many and they are now I want to see them every week you know and it will be a pity a great great

262
00:27:42,760 --> 00:27:51,480
pity if again you know we have to go through another money on list periods and it will start you

263
00:27:51,480 --> 00:27:58,280
know putting questions into people's minds and and and they'll be unnecessary because we all know

264
00:27:58,280 --> 00:28:02,680
his talent and the only thing holding him back will just purely be injuries which is a real

265
00:28:02,680 --> 00:28:09,960
shame. I agree. Where do you put him? Top three in the world? In the world? That's somewhere bro.

266
00:28:12,440 --> 00:28:18,680
Hilarious. I'd put him in top five best keepers in the world. I'd put him top three. I'd put him

267
00:28:18,680 --> 00:28:24,040
top three. It's simply based on his presence you don't find that in a keeper much. It's crazy

268
00:28:24,040 --> 00:28:29,240
yeah and his confidence is next level. He's impressive honestly. Yeah he's really really good

269
00:28:29,240 --> 00:28:35,080
and it's a pleasure to have him at Milan obviously. Now do you think that being owned at the time by

270
00:28:35,080 --> 00:28:39,480
Elliot who also owned Lil had something to do with Milan's acquisition of Manjaro? Do we not

271
00:28:39,480 --> 00:28:43,480
talk about that? Let's not bring those conversations to light because you know what happens when

272
00:28:43,480 --> 00:28:52,600
they're brought to life. Seria, a bird shouts for three seasons in a row like. Okay no we needed

273
00:28:52,600 --> 00:28:58,840
some help. Not every single team can offer if they're paying 100 euro for a player they can

274
00:28:58,840 --> 00:29:05,160
offer a 2 million euro loan a player from their primavera which they value at around 18 million

275
00:29:05,160 --> 00:29:10,200
and then promise to pay the rest of the amount of money next year if they decide. With the buyback

276
00:29:10,200 --> 00:29:15,400
option on the player they would have loaned. I think everyone knows what I'm talking about.

277
00:29:16,920 --> 00:29:21,960
And there are many of them. I mean Napoli sent youths to France when they've even set

278
00:29:21,960 --> 00:29:27,800
in France. These players spoken and interviewed they've never been to France. Well it's fine under

279
00:29:27,800 --> 00:29:35,960
the radar man. Yeah. But anyway next season fast forward the next summer market right.

280
00:29:35,960 --> 00:29:40,760
Let's say Milan need another sacrificial lamb another tonali style sacrificial lamb to raise

281
00:29:40,760 --> 00:29:46,200
some funds. Who would you well who would pay you less to see Leib? That's Amfegl.

282
00:29:46,200 --> 00:29:55,400
For me same. I don't think that. I think the more it's strange when he joined Milan I was like

283
00:29:55,400 --> 00:30:01,320
his guy is the fucking real deal. This guy is going to be incredible but I don't know it's either

284
00:30:02,280 --> 00:30:09,800
he got found out. I believe his game is a bit flawed. I don't think he's maybe tall enough to be a

285
00:30:09,800 --> 00:30:15,960
top top center back. He's fast and he has other attributes and I think one of his his main downfalls

286
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:23,000
is his concentration. I don't feel like that was a thing in the first season but last season and

287
00:30:23,000 --> 00:30:27,560
even the season before we didn't see that reliable you know every game is going to be a top top player

288
00:30:27,560 --> 00:30:32,520
Tomori and that makes me question it. The classic case and point of what you're saying is that game

289
00:30:32,520 --> 00:30:40,920
against Chelsea where he gave away that ridiculously stupid penalty. Let's be honest it was a soft

290
00:30:40,920 --> 00:30:46,920
corner but you shouldn't put two hands on the player when you write behind him in the box.

291
00:30:46,920 --> 00:30:53,720
World cosplayers don't get that affected by emotions. Now a point about Tomori I agree with

292
00:30:53,720 --> 00:30:58,440
you guys that he would be the sacrificial lamb but just to stand up for him over here and say that

293
00:30:58,440 --> 00:31:07,720
he is the best center back at Milan and he doesn't have that other center back to look up to someone

294
00:31:07,720 --> 00:31:12,600
to lead by example. You look at all of the greats you look at for example. I think I was going to

295
00:31:12,600 --> 00:31:19,400
have something to say about that. In the near future yes but my point is Tomori is leading by

296
00:31:19,400 --> 00:31:23,560
example and he didn't have someone to lead by example for him with the exception of Kier

297
00:31:23,560 --> 00:31:31,320
throughout a certain period. Exactly. So I think he had a direct mentor.

298
00:31:33,000 --> 00:31:37,400
For me the transfer window or transfer market throughout there is so unpredictable. I mean

299
00:31:37,400 --> 00:31:41,960
can we honestly say that at this point at this point last year even with all their money and

300
00:31:41,960 --> 00:31:49,400
whatever they have that ton of money would be a fucking new car. Who would have predicted that.

301
00:31:49,400 --> 00:31:57,160
So we really don't know what can happen. It's so unpredictable. So it's hard to say who we're

302
00:31:57,160 --> 00:32:04,440
going to sacrifice who will leave for all we know and hopefully Tomori will have his best season yet.

303
00:32:04,440 --> 00:32:07,960
I think it's quite a word life for him. I think he needs to have a crazy season.

304
00:32:07,960 --> 00:32:14,040
He's behind you. Now you're the leader you've been with us for a long time and you can just go

305
00:32:14,040 --> 00:32:17,560
and play your game. I mean we all know he's one of the best defenders in the league and

306
00:32:17,560 --> 00:32:21,640
and he's got nothing to prove in my opinion. He just needs to play himself.

307
00:32:22,520 --> 00:32:27,960
Play his game. Yes but of course you take into consideration the fact that he's English so it

308
00:32:27,960 --> 00:32:34,200
raises the value of it but you know you can rip off the Patriots. In your opinion. In my opinion

309
00:32:34,200 --> 00:32:39,400
I think you could make for a Premier League team for 15 million.

310
00:32:39,400 --> 00:32:42,680
I'll take 16. With the way they spend money on players.

311
00:32:42,680 --> 00:32:47,240
Maguire is going for like 35. If you've got a team that plays three at the back Tomori I think

312
00:32:47,240 --> 00:32:51,400
would be insane. And a three at the back for me. You put him on the lap. Tomori is going for

313
00:32:51,400 --> 00:32:56,520
80 million. You have a great game. The doctors cooking them up.

314
00:32:56,520 --> 00:33:00,280
He had a great game against Spurs. I think he won. He won Man of the Match when we played

315
00:33:00,280 --> 00:33:07,560
at three at the back I think. Oh yeah. He did a job on Kane. So I mean mentally I think if

316
00:33:07,560 --> 00:33:11,240
he really puts his mind to it and becomes a bit more consistent he can be up there.

317
00:33:11,240 --> 00:33:18,440
But I think he's got that dog which is the best part of his game but it's also

318
00:33:18,440 --> 00:33:24,520
the worst part of his game having that dog. Did you guys see that viral picture of Leao

319
00:33:24,520 --> 00:33:29,160
Jiru and Theo at the gym. Yeah I did. You did. You know the one where the

320
00:33:29,160 --> 00:33:35,320
Roche right there was there was a draft out of their minds. Who would you pick for your girlfriend

321
00:33:35,320 --> 00:33:47,480
to spend the night with. Oh my god. Her likes and dislikes. I feel like I would choose Theo.

322
00:33:47,480 --> 00:33:53,960
No man. Just because she'd never been the same. Listen to me. She'll go through shell shock for

323
00:33:53,960 --> 00:33:59,880
a month and she'll barely speak. She'll be like no no I don't want to talk about it.

324
00:33:59,880 --> 00:34:03,720
And then you'll get her back but she's definitely not going to be into him after having sex with

325
00:34:03,720 --> 00:34:09,400
him because he'll destroy her. He will destroy her. Jiru she might fall in love by looking into

326
00:34:09,400 --> 00:34:17,720
his eyes. Leao. Like look at Leao. He's fucking. You can't do Theo. You might as well. She's never

327
00:34:17,720 --> 00:34:23,640
looking at you again man. You might as well send her on the front line. I'm going to say Jiru because

328
00:34:23,640 --> 00:34:30,680
he's a family man. He's a respectful man. He's a good guy all around. I want what's best for him.

329
00:34:30,680 --> 00:34:37,320
I agree. I think he was the best value. I think he was the most respectful before and after.

330
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:45,080
He doesn't even have that dog in him. I would trust him. I would trust him the most at least from

331
00:34:45,080 --> 00:34:52,600
the three. That's great. Great answer. Who would you choose? Who would I choose? I think I'd have to go Jiru.

332
00:34:52,600 --> 00:34:58,600
I'm not going Theo. I'm going Theo. She's not going to be into Theo all the time.

333
00:34:58,600 --> 00:35:03,560
He'll change her forever bro. Let's just say that. Look she might build some tougher skin after being

334
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:09,160
great Theo for a night. But anyway bros those are my Milan questions. I have a few questions

335
00:35:10,280 --> 00:35:14,600
about other non-Milan related things but before we move on to that do you have anything you'd like

336
00:35:14,600 --> 00:35:23,160
to say about Milan and how it takes? Any observations, opinions? What I can say is that I haven't been

337
00:35:23,160 --> 00:35:29,160
disexcited and curious for the season in a long time. I think we all remember the young Hongili

338
00:35:30,200 --> 00:35:37,720
stores for market and I don't know man. It can't go anyway. I'm just excited for the ride and

339
00:35:37,720 --> 00:35:45,640
the summer started with Maldini leaving, Ibrah's retirement, Tom Hally being soul and ended up with

340
00:35:46,440 --> 00:35:55,080
eight, nine new players and Jerry watching Jennifer Lopez dancing on the table. So I mean listen

341
00:35:55,080 --> 00:36:01,800
that I mean just my opinion the team is there you know we for the first time I think can have a

342
00:36:01,800 --> 00:36:09,000
really sense of optimism where I think we can safely say that we are one of if not the best

343
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:17,880
squad in Italy and let's go you know and let's bring on anyone who comes. I mean we have a really

344
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:25,800
difficult start to the season. The first Marotta cooked in the calendar. The first six games I think

345
00:36:25,800 --> 00:36:31,480
might have four away. We have to go to Rome, we have the derby, so it's going to be a very difficult

346
00:36:31,480 --> 00:36:37,720
start like I said I think Piori is on a hot seat but I think especially yesterday it showed that

347
00:36:37,720 --> 00:36:43,240
there's a team spirit you know everyone who's there is happy to be there. There is quality and

348
00:36:43,240 --> 00:36:48,360
we've retained you know we've lost but we've also retained you know our important plays so

349
00:36:48,360 --> 00:36:57,000
let's go you know we can I think we can compete with anyone and we should aim this year to win

350
00:36:57,000 --> 00:37:01,640
things and and right the wrongs over last year. Can I add something to what you said?

351
00:37:02,200 --> 00:37:10,920
What do you think is the best squad on paper in this area on paper? Us. I say us. In terms of squad

352
00:37:10,920 --> 00:37:16,840
value I do believe we're probably the most valuable squad right now. I think transfer market would

353
00:37:16,840 --> 00:37:25,160
confirm that. Honestly two more acquisitions for Inter and their closer. You cannot replace

354
00:37:25,160 --> 00:37:29,560
Don Criniar man. I want to say something about Inter. The only thing I'm going to say about

355
00:37:29,560 --> 00:37:33,160
Inter. I'm going to go on a run for two and a half minutes and I'll say goodbye.

356
00:37:35,480 --> 00:37:40,440
I've been proven really wrong about what I'm going to say but it's killing me to sing

357
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:46,520
that pyeongyang that a lot of sport praising them all the time. Inter have lost all of their

358
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:53,640
goalkeepers. They've lost their best centre back. Their best one of them. I mean the top two in the

359
00:37:53,640 --> 00:37:58,600
Champions League final he was their best midfielder. Yes okay and up front they lost two out of their

360
00:37:58,600 --> 00:38:05,560
four options in Lukaku and Zeko. Now they bought Summer, they bought Turam, Turam, they bought

361
00:38:05,560 --> 00:38:12,120
Fidesi, Visec and whoever the hell you want to improve you want to include Quadrado, whoever

362
00:38:12,120 --> 00:38:17,960
they want to improve. If you go position by position right goalkeeper who have the better one Mila no

363
00:38:17,960 --> 00:38:22,840
one's going to deny that at the back okay. You have Chiao who's emerging Tomori in his prime,

364
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:27,480
Taranandas in his prime, Calabria has been a veteran for ten years. You have Calulo as well

365
00:38:27,480 --> 00:38:32,920
who's good. Kair even though he's maybe on his last legs he's experienced. I let the captain of them

366
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:39,320
moxed it. In Jehu do they have a 37 year old Lachari B you know they've right who was looking

367
00:38:39,320 --> 00:38:46,520
on the down. Bastoni is great you know I'm gonna deny them that. Kudbisec Bichao you know that's

368
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:57,800
their gamble and Damian who I appreciate a lot is a good player you know and but again 35 38 games

369
00:38:57,800 --> 00:39:02,680
in a season is he going to be the game changer in the middle in the middle I think they're solid

370
00:39:02,680 --> 00:39:10,280
you know I won't go into the number 20 but you all know how I felt about him before so

371
00:39:10,280 --> 00:39:16,920
and up front if Lautaro Martinez gets injured as he was today for their friend that he didn't play

372
00:39:16,920 --> 00:39:21,640
what who's gonna score for them who's gonna score for them they're interested in I'm gonna try to

373
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:28,040
say his name Balaga seems solid so he had one good season in France no so Inter are a good team

374
00:39:28,040 --> 00:39:31,720
they've bought good players but with all the respect if they're going to search loss yeah

375
00:39:31,720 --> 00:39:35,400
they were really good and and they made the Champions League final they made the Champions

376
00:39:35,400 --> 00:39:42,840
League final they beat Porto Benfica and us okay and us in a crap run of form and with the only

377
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:47,720
player who can make a difference out okay so if they they don't even know how they beat Porto

378
00:39:47,720 --> 00:39:52,440
and Benfica fine they beat them brilliant well done all right Champions League final they played

379
00:39:52,440 --> 00:39:58,040
well good for them you know but they still lost all right this team you know they're saying

380
00:39:58,040 --> 00:40:03,960
uh brothers of each one matter because they're not played there for all all season they lost 12

381
00:40:03,960 --> 00:40:09,800
games in the league last day everyone keeps forgetting that they did a month they didn't win a game

382
00:40:09,800 --> 00:40:15,800
you know so I'm not saying either a bad team I don't think they are I think they're good you

383
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:20,600
know I'm not gonna say and if they get this Balagan and if they get whoever and the Miral

384
00:40:20,600 --> 00:40:26,040
I think is being mentioned can they be equal to us you know I think so but I really don't believe

385
00:40:26,040 --> 00:40:30,200
that they are head and shoulders the favorites are in the league they might win the league and I might

386
00:40:30,200 --> 00:40:36,280
be proving like a real donkey what I'm saying but and they obviously on the flip side have the

387
00:40:36,840 --> 00:40:41,480
the four games home to so I think in the first 10 games they played two teams or three teams who

388
00:40:41,480 --> 00:40:47,640
finished in the top 10 last year so they have a nice cozy start to the season so but if you're

389
00:40:47,640 --> 00:40:54,760
telling me the squad okay no I don't think there is a team with our depth with our versatility

390
00:40:54,760 --> 00:41:00,200
and with the the talent that we have we have the best player in the league we have the best goaler

391
00:41:00,200 --> 00:41:06,280
in the league pilot Fanta Calcio Defender we have the one we have the one we have everyone wants so

392
00:41:07,160 --> 00:41:12,280
my five minutes round forever how long this has been is over and I'm gonna take a break for that

393
00:41:12,280 --> 00:41:16,280
that's the feel I think I know I was so fundamental to their play like the champions

394
00:41:16,280 --> 00:41:21,480
in the final it was pinging 60 yard balls you know I think their feel is lost and one more thing is

395
00:41:21,480 --> 00:41:27,080
that Marcus Turham I'm not saying I'm not trying to say this out of spite because he did the whole

396
00:41:27,800 --> 00:41:34,440
snake thing you know but look at the guys like 25-26 he's never had a season with more than 10 goals

397
00:41:34,440 --> 00:41:41,720
I think so he's my age he's my age and he scored 30 he scored 30 I'm 27 so this year he scored 30 career

398
00:41:41,720 --> 00:41:46,120
goals I mean you're gonna hang your hat on that you're gonna represent you with 27 this year

399
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:52,120
in in in my my age

400
00:41:58,920 --> 00:42:05,000
I think Milan have the best squad if you're looking at a squad of 20 people

401
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:14,040
can't forget that's exactly the point I'm about to make you can't forget Napoli but Kim will Kim be a

402
00:42:14,040 --> 00:42:22,600
massive loss for that? Kim and Spalletti, two massive losses yes but that team wasn't just Kim and

403
00:42:22,600 --> 00:42:27,160
Spalletti that team have two of the most devastating players in the league they've got a player like

404
00:42:27,160 --> 00:42:36,040
Zielinski right wing and some are quite similar to Milan in the last two seasons but you can't see

405
00:42:36,040 --> 00:42:42,200
the way that they blew everyone out of the water it's the same 10 people that did it last year

406
00:42:42,200 --> 00:42:48,280
the same 10 people on the pitch I don't think that we can throw Napoli away because of these two

407
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:54,520
Spalletti was so key to the way they played the way they dominate games I feel like on paper losing Kim

408
00:42:55,160 --> 00:42:58,600
puts them a bit down but never can't forget I don't think you should throw away the

409
00:42:58,600 --> 00:43:02,440
the reserves as well you know I mean everyone says yeah Napoli don't have anything but

410
00:43:02,440 --> 00:43:05,640
they do you know I mean

411
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:11,640
when Elmas comes on he's super nifty like on the board

412
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:17,720
no they have they have a together as well but they achieved a lot so I mean they're still

413
00:43:17,720 --> 00:43:22,360
they're still good I think Roma are an interesting team you know they still need a forward I think

414
00:43:22,360 --> 00:43:28,600
and they're not really spending as more in your next highlight but you know if in the Cahits and

415
00:43:28,600 --> 00:43:33,480
and Oar and the place where they have brought in they could be a bit of an interesting team maybe

416
00:43:33,480 --> 00:43:38,360
not to win the league but definitely more in your tactics are outdated yeah I don't see like oh but

417
00:43:38,360 --> 00:43:43,080
he can he can get top four domestically with the way he plays I don't I don't

418
00:43:43,080 --> 00:43:49,560
I don't know what I mean you've just gotten way off but then you've they got no one it's true but

419
00:43:49,560 --> 00:43:53,400
with this exact team last year they on the pitch they finished top four yeah they've

420
00:43:53,400 --> 00:44:00,840
second second as a one game a week as well yeah so do not forget aside from us at Atlanta I've had

421
00:44:00,840 --> 00:44:06,520
the best Mercato this season the season the summer come below trower the summer come below

422
00:44:06,520 --> 00:44:11,640
trower and there was there was another one potentially the catalogue potentially the catalogue

423
00:44:11,640 --> 00:44:17,960
no at Atlanta will be strong they brought in bucker on the left buckers as a left wing back I

424
00:44:17,960 --> 00:44:23,880
feel like that that's somewhere they they lacked ever since losing Gossens and by the way look up

425
00:44:23,880 --> 00:44:31,560
bucker highlights and the way he had colas and the way the way that bucker runs is like nothing I

426
00:44:31,560 --> 00:44:37,320
have ever seen before in my life he's like a crab he runs sideways to the ball bro it's the most odd

427
00:44:37,320 --> 00:44:42,680
thing you watch his highlights and and you always have that thing which you know punts can say the

428
00:44:42,680 --> 00:44:47,960
technical term as a medical man you know the what do they give what do they inject them with steroids

429
00:44:47,960 --> 00:44:54,360
there isn't some like fancy word which only like the word isn't going to be right

430
00:44:56,360 --> 00:45:01,800
they give them some fucking potions over there it's like crazy things it's similar to I think what

431
00:45:01,800 --> 00:45:07,240
what the Germans used to get to the Nazis it's what they built captain america

432
00:45:08,760 --> 00:45:14,360
let's not say anything that can get us here yeah crystal matt is what I'm saying by the way it's

433
00:45:14,360 --> 00:45:22,200
lber lbelal tour and not throw that's yeah that's an evilt that's where we go back and edit it

434
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:28,680
the overall point is that the league is open right I don't think there's one clear cut favorite

435
00:45:28,680 --> 00:45:33,000
you know you can say you have problems me and I have problems you have problems not really but

436
00:45:34,680 --> 00:45:40,920
I think honestly I think we have as good a shout to win the league as anything now if we do that I

437
00:45:40,920 --> 00:45:47,160
don't know if we have a brand new team brand new system it's very difficult for the team to gel you

438
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:54,680
know this is strictly on paper we know that counts for nothing but why shouldn't we be optimistic you

439
00:45:54,680 --> 00:45:59,880
know what what reason do we have even in pre-season you know even though we haven't won games or blown

440
00:45:59,880 --> 00:46:05,800
away teams it's looked solid you know it hasn't looked phenomenal but but the thing is what I worry

441
00:46:05,800 --> 00:46:12,360
is that I've never seen a team sign what six seven new starters and instantly succeed think of Milan

442
00:46:12,360 --> 00:46:18,440
when we did that crazy transfer market think of monza last year I mean monza top 10 finish

443
00:46:18,440 --> 00:46:22,840
yeah yes yes but think about how they started this season or jen see maybe I think they were in

444
00:46:22,840 --> 00:46:27,080
the relegations zone for most of the first half of the season and they really picked up I do feel

445
00:46:27,080 --> 00:46:32,120
that a big part of football is is jelling and having a certain understanding of your teammates and

446
00:46:32,120 --> 00:46:37,560
that really makes the season a question mark for me I think on paper we do have what it takes but

447
00:46:37,560 --> 00:46:42,760
I feel like that aspect shouldn't be taken for granted at all I would like I don't think it's

448
00:46:42,760 --> 00:46:47,880
going to be instant success for Milan and I think we'll see a slow start if we win the league or do

449
00:46:47,880 --> 00:46:53,320
very well it would be towards the latter stages of the season when the team has gotten used to each

450
00:46:53,320 --> 00:46:59,880
other but with that being said I'm relying on purely in order to start inserting these players

451
00:46:59,880 --> 00:47:05,160
slowly slowly and introducing them in a comfortable way for them to be confident so starting with

452
00:47:05,160 --> 00:47:11,880
jiru up top you know what I mean starting with with them cronich in the team before moving

453
00:47:11,880 --> 00:47:16,360
policy to the attacking midfield role for example I think it's going to take a lot of work to kind

454
00:47:16,360 --> 00:47:21,160
of start because some of these players haven't even had a full preseason with the team so it's

455
00:47:21,160 --> 00:47:27,720
important to start with some rotation and then okay we brought this oka for on 10 times he seems

456
00:47:27,720 --> 00:47:31,880
to be really effective to the team he's doing great things for the press okay start him next game

457
00:47:31,880 --> 00:47:37,880
and it moves in that system but if we're to start with all these new players starting instantly

458
00:47:37,880 --> 00:47:41,800
that's all going to be a successful so I would keep cronich man I think simple for that reason

459
00:47:41,800 --> 00:47:46,120
of even the dressing room figure I think at this point he's he's quite a figure in the dressing

460
00:47:46,120 --> 00:47:51,240
room you know he's he's been there a while he's the last itch he's what like the last

461
00:47:51,240 --> 00:47:57,320
fourth captain maybe honestly honestly it's always a good sign and it's a sign that you're a top team

462
00:47:57,320 --> 00:48:03,320
when players come in and they need to earn their score if you come to a team if you arrive at the

463
00:48:03,320 --> 00:48:07,720
team and you're in the starting 11 ammage if that doesn't motivate you at all if you're coming on

464
00:48:07,720 --> 00:48:11,480
and you're getting 10 minutes here and there and then you start the odd game in the cup I really

465
00:48:11,480 --> 00:48:16,600
feel the pressure to to impress and I think that's the the most important thing that purely

466
00:48:16,600 --> 00:48:20,520
remembers over here don't just throw everyone out there and I'm sure he won't I'm sure everyone

467
00:48:20,520 --> 00:48:27,160
will go crazy about it he hasn't he's shown in the past that he does maybe

468
00:48:27,160 --> 00:48:31,960
take a bit longer than he would expect to integrate new players I think he's always in

469
00:48:31,960 --> 00:48:40,360
apart from cdk purely look at chow for example he took long to introduce him but chow in Germany

470
00:48:40,360 --> 00:48:47,000
was considered to be an error-prone defender in Germany when purely decided to utilize chow

471
00:48:47,000 --> 00:48:51,480
he always played incredibly he was ready it's true I don't have a bad word to say about chow

472
00:48:51,480 --> 00:48:55,720
same with gubbia when he utilized gubbia he was good we're gonna need to be patient I mean

473
00:48:55,720 --> 00:49:03,000
exactly I mean I'm not on on other teams twitter or x is now it's not on other teams x

474
00:49:03,880 --> 00:49:11,960
but like us you know how everyone goes nuts and that's criticizing online and and and the

475
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:18,360
media love criticizing us and it's gonna take time and we're gonna have to be patient and

476
00:49:18,360 --> 00:49:24,200
there may be that odd crappy result every now and then but it's just a question of I think

477
00:49:24,200 --> 00:49:29,640
weathering the storm and if the team settles as I hope it's gonna settle I really really

478
00:49:29,640 --> 00:49:34,760
believe strongly believe that we are one of the best team if not the best team in Italy add them

479
00:49:34,760 --> 00:49:39,880
up so who are your top four for next year let's get let's get that out there because

480
00:49:41,160 --> 00:49:50,280
there's no right answer obviously but us napoli I think you there and enter I I'm gonna say

481
00:49:50,280 --> 00:49:55,960
I'm this is my hot take for the for the air this if interstates they are if they don't they don't

482
00:49:55,960 --> 00:50:01,240
I'm breakfast they don't get another striker they don't get another defender and scumards

483
00:50:01,240 --> 00:50:07,560
it should have primer player that's a keep calling them problems whatever but I think they will

484
00:50:08,520 --> 00:50:13,240
be a challenger for top four I don't think that I think the league this year will be between us and

485
00:50:13,240 --> 00:50:21,560
today on the 9th or the 9th August that 20 past eight for me the top two are the champions of

486
00:50:21,560 --> 00:50:28,600
last year and and us I'm gonna be a bit of a madman and exclude inter from my top four I think

487
00:50:28,600 --> 00:50:35,960
lots you shouldn't be ruled out at all I think they've made some smart signings like they did

488
00:50:35,960 --> 00:50:43,640
it's true but sorry but I trust sorry and exactly sorry his teams age like a fine wine and I feel

489
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:47,720
that he's really good the gear is going I mean this team was phenomenal last year for most part

490
00:50:47,720 --> 00:50:54,120
of the season and on paper I don't believe that they are even in the top four on paper but the way

491
00:50:54,120 --> 00:51:03,800
he has them playing bar when they played against us and we spanked them basically I think I think

492
00:51:03,800 --> 00:51:08,280
Milan will be in the top four so I'm not giving any particular order because I think it's impossible

493
00:51:08,280 --> 00:51:15,640
to say but Milan Lazio Napoli and then you've selected and Atlanta fifth and inter sixth

494
00:51:16,760 --> 00:51:21,720
it's a really difficult one it's a really difficult one I think Atlanta will make top four next season

495
00:51:23,080 --> 00:51:28,920
in place of who but that's the problem right I don't know I that's something yeah in place of

496
00:51:28,920 --> 00:51:34,600
Lazio but then I also heard some of the two roaming clubs and and Atlanta are bloody dangerous so

497
00:51:34,600 --> 00:51:40,360
so it's it's it's tricky man to I have I have a feeling it's going to be a no particular order

498
00:51:40,360 --> 00:51:45,960
you ve Milan inter at Atlanta do you ve Milan inter at Atlanta in no particular order no Napoli

499
00:51:45,960 --> 00:51:52,360
bro no Napoli I have a feeling I have a feeling it's not going to go as well for them with Rudy

500
00:51:52,360 --> 00:51:57,160
Garcia you saw he played raspadori in a double pivot in a friendly last night that's absolute

501
00:51:57,160 --> 00:52:03,400
insanity but we'll see I don't know but I might turn on him the player for us man that now and

502
00:52:03,400 --> 00:52:07,240
we don't know what you mean three players and say yeah you know they have to only have for me

503
00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:12,680
Ozzy man's been the whole Saudi thing has been mentioned after a while I don't think he'll go

504
00:52:12,680 --> 00:52:19,640
but I highly doubt if he seems he seems he's a man from a humble background the chance to

505
00:52:19,640 --> 00:52:25,000
make literally every person has ever met in his life wealthy might sway him because when you come

506
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:29,320
from humble beginnings you really see look at how important money is and you know I would like that

507
00:52:29,320 --> 00:52:34,120
though I would want to go even terms of quality of say I've been that of course I'll be losing

508
00:52:34,120 --> 00:52:37,480
our best players like that I'd like was in where they did lose quite a few I think the stars for

509
00:52:37,480 --> 00:52:45,320
one of course guys just as a this is a side note we're losing to Trento oh what's the score

510
00:52:46,040 --> 00:52:53,560
top four baby we're losing to ac Trento one in we just I think we just conceded five minutes ago

511
00:52:53,560 --> 00:53:00,680
who scored who scored I mean all the players didn't play yesterday but I think no I think

512
00:53:00,680 --> 00:53:05,400
actually a lot no we lost the trend don't know if we're losing oh my god sipos

513
00:53:05,400 --> 00:53:11,800
sipos sipos heard him up heard it here first so you're seeing and you want to hear some you want

514
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:19,000
to hear some something interesting please Kamarida played you know that that like the kid the 14

515
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:25,400
yellow that he played like 10 minutes oh that type of game he's played more in preseason than

516
00:53:25,400 --> 00:53:32,840
on Iggy literally the next the next cockroach the next fuck I'll go but it's really to see it

517
00:53:32,840 --> 00:53:38,920
is he's gonna sit around no let's be real um it is one of the faults of Maldini and he wasn't

518
00:53:38,920 --> 00:53:44,120
perfect as much as he was a very effective as a man and as a let me tell you he was essential

519
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:49,560
for the pool power when Milan didn't have much going I don't like the way his exit was happened

520
00:53:49,560 --> 00:53:54,760
at all at all but I do believe that maybe in today's game for example he would never have

521
00:53:54,760 --> 00:53:59,320
sold tonali and I do think selling tonali was in our best interest and I do believe that the players

522
00:53:59,320 --> 00:54:03,640
we got to make us a better team than we were last year even though maybe we didn't sign anyone

523
00:54:03,640 --> 00:54:08,760
tonali's current level but just having that depth you know doesn't make me a better team

524
00:54:08,760 --> 00:54:17,960
absolutely yeah I am for my top four I have question marks regarding inter considering their

525
00:54:17,960 --> 00:54:25,160
mercato and but I think inter will finish in fourth I think uva will finish in third I think

526
00:54:25,160 --> 00:54:31,960
Napoli will finish in second I'm gonna say that Milan it won't be a landslide victory for Milan by

527
00:54:31,960 --> 00:54:35,960
all means I think it'll go to the final day but I think Milan just nick it over Napoli

528
00:54:35,960 --> 00:54:43,480
whoo mental a talented team we'll see I have a few non-milan related questions guys

529
00:54:45,880 --> 00:54:52,680
which non-milan related the departing player will you miss most next season Sergei Sergei

530
00:54:52,680 --> 00:54:57,400
you know I agree with you it's definitely Sergei Astor with Sergei no no one's like him like we

531
00:54:57,400 --> 00:55:04,680
said before followed by the followed by the car you for oh my god yes yes those two you guys do

532
00:55:04,680 --> 00:55:10,600
you have anyone that you enjoyed watching that's gone I think screely has a big loss in terms of

533
00:55:10,600 --> 00:55:18,440
quality of the league uh brosevich too but I don't feel that the league has lost anyone or

534
00:55:18,440 --> 00:55:24,360
as a message level and I feel that hopefully someone steps up and sort of first those shoes

535
00:55:24,360 --> 00:55:29,560
but I do feel that as a league I mean the best it's been in a while you know even competitiveness

536
00:55:29,560 --> 00:55:35,800
you have six teams fighting neck and neck and it's impossible to say I mean yeah I could say the

537
00:55:35,800 --> 00:55:39,960
Premier League has sort of something similar going on but I mean the city has been dominating and I

538
00:55:39,960 --> 00:55:45,000
don't see that stopping anytime soon but even in the top five expenditure why say our second to

539
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:52,280
the Barclay I do feel like we are on the rise I'm gonna miss Tataruzar Tataruzar

540
00:55:52,280 --> 00:55:59,000
he's making banks Saudi Arabia right 1.8 full energy is every center that money man

541
00:56:01,400 --> 00:56:09,560
not for last generation no but he had an astigmatism we don't blame it which non-milan related

542
00:56:09,560 --> 00:56:16,520
arrival are you most excited to see for me it's big scamming scammaka yeah to be honest I mean when

543
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:23,560
we were linked him I thought he'd be like an immobile kind of player where he let stupidly

544
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:30,280
left Syria where where his place is in Syria yes and immobile when he came to Latvia he ended up

545
00:56:30,280 --> 00:56:36,680
being the all-time top scorer so I think scammaka as you don't score 18 goals for for nothing you

546
00:56:36,680 --> 00:56:42,280
know there is some talent there so I'm sorry I don't know how many heads go 17 18 but whatever

547
00:56:42,280 --> 00:56:47,800
he went on a western said he was a misunderstood player over there yes so I think he's a I that's

548
00:56:47,800 --> 00:56:53,480
that's probably a really good job I would agree scammaka particularly at Atlanta like

549
00:56:53,480 --> 00:56:58,920
what comes to bringing the best out of players at Atlanta excel at that I'm also really excited

550
00:56:58,920 --> 00:57:09,000
for summer so for for particular reasons and a palm I like I like our of Roma oh yeah he's a

551
00:57:09,000 --> 00:57:13,720
player we've been linked in the past yes I think there's a point to prove I mean I think five six

552
00:57:13,720 --> 00:57:21,320
years ago he was considered to be like one of the next big big players hopefully a Roma don't play

553
00:57:21,320 --> 00:57:26,920
the classic terrorism ball that's I mean there was a game I can speak on last year I think we played

554
00:57:26,920 --> 00:57:33,800
on the Olympic or where there's a tough watch you know time wasting and I do feel that he's maybe

555
00:57:33,800 --> 00:57:38,200
the player that they need and I don't think that he's gonna shine this year I watched that game on

556
00:57:38,200 --> 00:57:44,760
my phone in Crete on a bus so you regretted every minute and I wasn't looking out of the window in

557
00:57:44,760 --> 00:57:48,680
the nature was beautiful and every time with the nature I was I was very frustrated because the

558
00:57:48,680 --> 00:57:55,320
internet would cut not to mention bro how you watch the world cup final no was it not in a in a jeep

559
00:57:55,320 --> 00:58:04,440
in South Africa where it was pissing down no I I was in a jeep on a safari I told everyone on the

560
00:58:04,440 --> 00:58:10,680
jeep not to talk about the final we went to the hotel after when the World Cup final had ended

561
00:58:10,680 --> 00:58:15,480
and I texted you and you sent me a link of the replay with no spoiler in it and I spent like

562
00:58:15,480 --> 00:58:22,600
three in the morning watching it not knowing who won that game what a game but do you know the only

563
00:58:22,600 --> 00:58:31,480
game of Milan I missed last season was Milan for sorry Napoli Nill Milan for that was I was in

564
00:58:31,480 --> 00:58:37,880
in you know I spent a month in Australia this year and I was waking up at 4 a.m. to watch me

565
00:58:37,880 --> 00:58:44,040
shit at that time yes I was constantly waking up at 4 a.m. to watch Milan I watched all of the games

566
00:58:44,040 --> 00:58:53,000
except there was one time we were in this hotel room in Keynes and there was no Wi-Fi no reception

567
00:58:53,000 --> 00:58:58,840
no anything I woke up at 4 a.m. to watch it I woke up at 3 30 like trying to make it work no

568
00:58:58,840 --> 00:59:03,240
and then I set another for the second game ends I woke up I see Napoli Nill I'm like okay that's

569
00:59:03,240 --> 00:59:09,000
great Milan for that I lost my my fuck literally man I don't think you should watch another game

570
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:13,880
next season so guys for those of you wondering where Flynn is he's gone he had other plans

571
00:59:14,840 --> 00:59:18,840
thank you very much for coming Flynn we appreciate you your football opinions are amazing you're

572
00:59:18,840 --> 00:59:26,920
very rational and you have this deep hatred towards Inter that that's that's very funny and

573
00:59:26,920 --> 00:59:32,760
and and it's it's fun yeah it's just fun to listen to and guys we spoke about who's getting

574
00:59:32,760 --> 00:59:41,160
top four who's getting relegated next year I now I'm probably gonna get this wrong right but I have

575
00:59:42,040 --> 00:59:51,160
a feeling okay and my feeling is that despite frozen you on the coming first last year I think

576
00:59:51,160 --> 00:59:58,360
they go back down to bed I think Caliari and general survive I think having Syria a pedigree

577
00:59:59,160 --> 01:00:05,880
is very important so I think I think they stay up and I have a feeling M. Poli

578
01:00:07,160 --> 01:00:12,520
gets relegated and I have a feeling that let's get relegated so frozen you on a

579
01:00:12,520 --> 01:00:21,800
lecture M. Poli all right I think personally that it's going to be frozen you on a lecture

580
01:00:23,480 --> 01:00:29,400
and Caliari because Caliari have La Padula and rogue out man long-term injuries and La Padula

581
01:00:29,400 --> 01:00:33,160
is a guy you want to start the season with to give you confidence so unless they they bring in

582
01:00:33,160 --> 01:00:39,480
someone capable I don't know man it's not looking great for them no that's true that's true all right

583
01:00:39,480 --> 01:00:46,440
I don't see frozen on a staying up either I think poor guys will get sent right like to be

584
01:00:48,680 --> 01:00:55,800
Caliari not looking too strong I mean I think they need some work to be done and I don't really

585
01:00:55,800 --> 01:01:00,200
see let's just staying up either to be honest but let's hope we have another good relegation

586
01:01:00,200 --> 01:01:05,160
but like with the last year I mean last year we can't forget the drama of the the Spetsy against

587
01:01:05,160 --> 01:01:10,120
Fero and Amanda play out fine and I like how they added that because I don't think any other leagues

588
01:01:10,120 --> 01:01:15,320
in Europe have that I don't think so I don't think they do I really enjoyed that I was

589
01:01:17,080 --> 01:01:21,160
it was great it was the smartest handball of the line of who was it

590
01:01:22,440 --> 01:01:27,880
I yes bro who hands it off the line in that in that game in the in the play out finals

591
01:01:27,880 --> 01:01:36,200
oh my god faroni bro faroni paid off but it doesn't feel like a right no man speaking of

592
01:01:36,200 --> 01:01:41,960
right no yesterday I uploaded questions on instagram and they've expired and I can't see any of them

593
01:01:43,560 --> 01:01:47,960
speaking of right now but I remember one of them and I remember who asked it we'll do this one all

594
01:01:47,960 --> 01:01:55,560
right and this question was asked by our boy Luca Borge and he said what's it like losing the inter

595
01:01:55,560 --> 01:02:01,720
four times in a row it's Luca Borge the interfan I guess so I know I know Luca I was playing at

596
01:02:01,720 --> 01:02:08,440
Melita with him Luca Borge 97 it's my my my yes yes yes yes Luca Luca

597
01:02:08,440 --> 01:02:16,680
who's the proper swearing banter together at at higher seconds you guys are top guys he's a

598
01:02:16,680 --> 01:02:22,760
thank you for listening man it sucks hey what what what can what can we do about it next year

599
01:02:22,760 --> 01:02:28,440
but instead again I do feel that they deserve to win those games I mean they were a decent

600
01:02:28,440 --> 01:02:33,400
play out played us and I hope that purely does something because we always struggle against

601
01:02:33,400 --> 01:02:39,640
them man I mean I don't think we play well against three five three five twos in general and I don't

602
01:02:39,640 --> 01:02:45,880
know man I hope maybe the new set of players just combine in different ways and I haven't seen us

603
01:02:45,880 --> 01:02:49,640
dominate the game against inter in any news I mean even though one three two in the beginning of the

604
01:02:49,640 --> 01:02:54,680
season they scored first I can't remember a game against inter where we where they didn't score

605
01:02:54,680 --> 01:03:01,320
first I think the last time it happened was when Ibra scored that doppy at the season where we

606
01:03:01,320 --> 01:03:11,160
finished second second for the first time after like I have to respect the way that inter have

607
01:03:11,160 --> 01:03:17,480
played football since their content is like they play a great brand of football they're quick

608
01:03:17,480 --> 01:03:23,640
transitions from defense into attack especially with Barrella back in the day bros of itch as well

609
01:03:23,640 --> 01:03:29,800
they're spectacular yesterday when we were watching um Milan Monza there was a quick passage of play

610
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:37,000
like um I believe Leao played it back to um Loftus Cic and Loftus Cic played the first time ball

611
01:03:37,560 --> 01:03:41,560
through to Giroud and Giroud just didn't get there um but the passage of play was really smooth

612
01:03:41,560 --> 01:03:46,280
and really nice now and I looked at Jake and I said we looked like inter there and and it was a

613
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:51,320
compliment to the way Milan were playing football we there we looked like inter I mean a few teams

614
01:03:51,320 --> 01:03:57,720
played the three five two as good as inter do yes and and I think the way Milan have spent in the

615
01:03:57,720 --> 01:04:04,600
market okay it's from experience out of Milan not succeeding with their 20 players but I do feel like

616
01:04:04,600 --> 01:04:10,520
this idea when we came up against inter and we lost four times whatever last year literally four

617
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:14,680
times I do feel like that played a big part yes yes and and I think we looked at them like these

618
01:04:14,680 --> 01:04:19,320
guys are getting stronger with each substitution they make and we're getting significantly weaker

619
01:04:19,320 --> 01:04:25,240
they had the bench you know I mean the Lukaku okay now he's he's he's the joke of football right now

620
01:04:25,240 --> 01:04:31,960
and I don't think I I I disrespect the guy disrespect what he stands for you know he pulled a foster

621
01:04:31,960 --> 01:04:36,760
on inter when they were the ones to give him a second chance literally but I mean they have

622
01:04:36,760 --> 01:04:41,400
they bring on Lukaku they bring on Corea who I don't think the inter fans particularly love you

623
01:04:41,400 --> 01:04:45,880
it's a bit of a banter player for them but I mean we've seen what he's capable of he's a good player

624
01:04:45,880 --> 01:04:52,520
he's he's he's effective you know and they bring on these guys man and you see Milan bringing on

625
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:57,080
messias you know the son of markers I do feel like they played a big role but something I didn't mention

626
01:04:57,080 --> 01:05:04,440
before is that um I do feel like in this transfer market Milan decided to sign players that are

627
01:05:04,440 --> 01:05:09,640
versatile and can play a number of positions which really leaves the door open for purely to

628
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:14,040
experiment a bit for example police it's like the left wing they can play can become play right

629
01:05:14,040 --> 01:05:19,320
wing and knock off or left wing striker you know I mean the armoured fielders can practically play

630
01:05:19,320 --> 01:05:25,560
every role I mean chronicles can play as a pure as a medzala I can play as a cdm benacer to

631
01:05:25,560 --> 01:05:33,480
lofty streak to as well Reinder is to moosa to I mean I think this interchange players can

632
01:05:33,480 --> 01:05:37,400
interchange switch positions it can make us less predictable and I think that was something which

633
01:05:37,400 --> 01:05:42,760
was specifically sought after when deciding to sign the players that we did completely man

634
01:05:42,760 --> 01:05:49,960
completely agreed very true um yeah um I don't really have any more talking points apart from

635
01:05:49,960 --> 01:05:57,000
the fact that buffon has finally retired at the tender age of 45 years about time and what he was

636
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:03,320
doing in seabed wasn't exactly crazy but I feel like it was to let go out a certain point uh-huh

637
01:06:03,320 --> 01:06:09,240
and do I do respect his love for the game but sometimes you have to like I was sure he'd do

638
01:06:09,240 --> 01:06:16,120
a year in Saudi Arabia he should have to get a bag and he run away do you know a fun fact about

639
01:06:16,120 --> 01:06:23,720
buffon is that he had an ex-girlfriend obviously buffon's a good looking guy apparently hung

640
01:06:23,720 --> 01:06:31,400
like a horse he had an ex-girlfriend that I swear to god he had an ex-girlfriend this was a magazine

641
01:06:31,400 --> 01:06:35,800
bro those magazines ex a match magazine and stuff we used to we used to read back in the day

642
01:06:35,800 --> 01:06:42,200
what did the guy do his ex-girlfriend said that she was begging him and convincing him to become a

643
01:06:42,200 --> 01:06:53,480
porn star ah yes well he didn't well he didn't you never know maybe some well then he has one

644
01:06:55,240 --> 01:06:59,960
and you sure was a phone but it's been about buffon man I mean I was effect what he's done

645
01:06:59,960 --> 01:07:06,120
his career but come on man I mean as Milan fans who after all he's keep in mind that Montari Fiasco

646
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:13,880
and yes that does make him lose a bit of credibility in my eyes but at the end of the day I'm sure you

647
01:07:13,880 --> 01:07:20,600
were fans respect what he's done and if the guy lived and died for the badge so I do I do understand

648
01:07:20,600 --> 01:07:25,880
it but I mean so he's gonna leave us our taste and that's Milan fans mouth you know longevity wise

649
01:07:25,880 --> 01:07:33,000
you look at the player who's more decorated than buffon is Ica Cazias at the age of 33 he was done

650
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:41,880
at the age of Cazias never had that oh god because firework because he has wrapped this up

651
01:07:41,880 --> 01:07:46,280
because he hasn't had the mental strength buffon has I believe I think as a shot stopper he's on

652
01:07:46,280 --> 01:07:51,960
par with him but as a complete goalkeeper buffon had the whole package because he has didn't yes

653
01:07:51,960 --> 01:07:55,960
Castroville's knee has stopped him from making a move to bernieff and probably no one will buy him

654
01:07:55,960 --> 01:08:00,600
huge that's huge yes I rated the guy a few years ago but I think he's gonna end up as one of those

655
01:08:01,560 --> 01:08:08,280
Andrea Pauli tight players you know who just slowly fade out and end up in the lower teams in the

656
01:08:08,280 --> 01:08:15,000
league you know yes and finally you the fans have a message to loco who which basically says stay in

657
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:23,080
Milan we already have a third keeper I love that one man I love it it's so beautiful and apparently

658
01:08:23,080 --> 01:08:28,920
the guy's been negotiating with you for around three months before the champions it might happen

659
01:08:28,920 --> 01:08:33,720
genuinely yeah but now maybe the fan pushback apparently spend their loss no they're right

660
01:08:33,720 --> 01:08:37,320
man they don't blame them you know of course selling vlove which to bring in loco because I'm

661
01:08:37,320 --> 01:08:43,080
mercenary man granted it might get you a top four finish but it's not good business no I think maybe

662
01:08:43,080 --> 01:08:48,120
look up of suits a leg is placed a little bit more yes the guy likes to absorb pressure and

663
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:52,520
and try and break on the counter you know you a leg was never known for his beautiful football and

664
01:08:52,520 --> 01:08:57,240
I don't think that which has that kind of pace which an allegory striker needs to have yeah yeah

665
01:08:57,240 --> 01:09:02,680
true for sure so anyway guys thank you very much for listening we have been say a spotlight thank you
