1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,520
Calabria with the ball in, Rafael Leao, that's absolutely sensational!

2
00:00:06,240 --> 00:00:12,480
He had fallen over, he had lost his balance, and yet somehow he stuck out a right leg

3
00:00:13,040 --> 00:00:15,440
and volleyed it pass through Patricio.

4
00:00:17,760 --> 00:00:24,080
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Seria our Spotlight, this is episode 91 and we're your

5
00:00:24,080 --> 00:00:29,920
hosts Matt and Jake. We're a little bit late with this episode, apologies guys, we had a few

6
00:00:29,920 --> 00:00:36,240
technical issues yesterday and the day before but we're here now and from what it seems everything

7
00:00:36,240 --> 00:00:41,120
is in order. Exactly yes, we got a bit too ahead of ourselves with the studio, tried to record

8
00:00:41,120 --> 00:00:47,840
there before the studio was actually finished and the echo was too much but we are using a new

9
00:00:47,840 --> 00:00:54,080
piece of equipment, we're using a new microphone and that was actually both thanks to our patrons,

10
00:00:54,080 --> 00:01:01,600
so if you are one of our patrons thank you very much guys. It was a good amount, was it 70?

11
00:01:02,240 --> 00:01:09,360
Yeah around like 75 to 80 euro I think, these are things that will have to typically come

12
00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:16,960
out of our pocket, obviously we work 9 to 5s like most people so saving up as well, so every

13
00:01:16,960 --> 00:01:22,480
little helps and thank you guys for contributing to this. This is amazing, let us know what you

14
00:01:22,480 --> 00:01:28,240
think of the new sound quality, if it's any better, if we sound any different. Yeah we'll see.

15
00:01:28,880 --> 00:01:33,920
Remember to follow us guys Instagram, TikTok and Twitter to keep up to date with our announcements

16
00:01:33,920 --> 00:01:38,640
and our fun little snippets from each episode as well and give us a five star rating wherever

17
00:01:38,640 --> 00:01:43,520
you're listening be it Spotify, Apple Podcast, Google Podcast, you'll do us a great favor.

18
00:01:43,520 --> 00:01:50,800
We've currently got a 4.9 average on Spotify, let's try bump that up to five stars with you guys's

19
00:01:50,800 --> 00:01:56,800
help. Is that even possible now that someone hasn't rated it five stars? Yeah because it's enough,

20
00:01:56,800 --> 00:02:08,720
I guess if the average becomes like 4.95 or 4.96 then they'll to the nearest whole figure.

21
00:02:08,720 --> 00:02:12,800
Maybe let's hope so because it was fun being five stars. Hey, 4.9 is very good anyway.

22
00:02:12,800 --> 00:02:19,520
4.9 is nuts, I'm happy with that. Our goal of the week guys came from the Portuguese sensation

23
00:02:19,520 --> 00:02:25,440
Rafael Leo who looked to be off balance but somehow while he was falling managed to bicycle,

24
00:02:25,440 --> 00:02:30,880
kicked the ball into the back of the net, left through, Patricio completely rooted to the spot.

25
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:36,400
He's finally done it bro, he's been trying. Yeah exactly man, exactly. I remember that overhead

26
00:02:36,400 --> 00:02:40,320
kick he attempted against Atlético Madrid, he was offside and it rattled the crossbar

27
00:02:41,040 --> 00:02:45,040
but he has been trying this thing, we're mentioning it last season that he's finally

28
00:02:45,040 --> 00:02:53,040
one day gonna manage. But to me this was no regular overhead kick, it was no regular bicycle kick,

29
00:02:53,040 --> 00:02:57,760
the guy was literally falling to the ground and he managed to improvise, he struck out a leg when

30
00:02:57,760 --> 00:03:02,960
no one was expecting it, everyone was rooted to the spot, the way it hit the back of the net as well

31
00:03:02,960 --> 00:03:09,680
that clink. You can hear it in the intro. Oh man, it was such a beautiful goal, you were looking away.

32
00:03:09,680 --> 00:03:15,120
I was looking away, yes because Seher was about to give me her opinion on my new moustache.

33
00:03:17,040 --> 00:03:22,800
She was like you know what, it looks, oh my god! Me and Ponce just freaking out.

34
00:03:24,480 --> 00:03:29,680
Shout out to Ponce who we enjoyed the game with as well at our home and next week we'll be having

35
00:03:29,680 --> 00:03:35,360
him over for the entire game as well. Honorable mention to Luis Alberto, Kezar, Adonis and Lovumbo

36
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:40,400
scored fantastic goals this week. There were a few great goals, this was a great matchday.

37
00:03:41,040 --> 00:03:47,440
I very much enjoyed this matchday. Firstly we got to see you know Napoli Lazio, we got to see

38
00:03:47,440 --> 00:03:55,600
Roma Milan, Interferentina, these top eight teams going head to head. So yeah, this could be considered

39
00:03:55,600 --> 00:04:02,240
the first real test for a lot of these teams. Our coverout before we continue is Thuram who

40
00:04:02,240 --> 00:04:07,040
attempted to do the Lukaku celebration after Lautaro scored and Lautaro told them no no.

41
00:04:08,480 --> 00:04:13,440
We immortalized that moment in our coverout. Yes, that's what we try to do, that is what we try to

42
00:04:13,440 --> 00:04:18,640
do. But I'll give you guys our rundown before we get into the episode. This week we didn't

43
00:04:19,440 --> 00:04:24,400
try prompt you guys to join our Patreon but rather we thought we would use the beautiful success

44
00:04:24,400 --> 00:04:30,000
story of the microphone to get you guys on board. Do remember it's just 3.99 a month to

45
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:34,720
help support our content, you get added to group chat on WhatsApp and hey maybe you'll even join

46
00:04:34,720 --> 00:04:40,080
our FantaCulture League for next year. So lots of fun over there. But let's get down to the rundown

47
00:04:40,080 --> 00:04:44,800
of exactly what happened last weekend in Serie A. So the first match we're going to be covering is

48
00:04:44,800 --> 00:04:50,880
Milan's trip to the Stadio Olimpico where they got away with a 2-1 victory although got quite

49
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:56,720
scary for Milan fans towards the end of that match. Lazio visited Naples and they have proven that

50
00:04:56,720 --> 00:05:05,760
they do have Naples number. It's Lazio 2-1. Inter weren't faced by Fiorentina's red hot form

51
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:13,120
some might call it as they got away with a 4-0 victory against La Viola. Empoli nil Juventus 2

52
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:17,840
Juve back to winning ways. Empoli haven't gathered a single point yet. Atalanta 3-1,

53
00:05:17,840 --> 00:05:23,760
Monza nil, Scamacca got 2 over there and a spectacular performance for the new number 9

54
00:05:23,760 --> 00:05:31,680
in his first start for La Dea as well. Bologna 2-1, Caliari 1. Finally Bologna had a bit of an

55
00:05:31,680 --> 00:05:36,960
easier fixture but it wasn't easy at all and it did take a last minute goal in order for them to

56
00:05:36,960 --> 00:05:43,040
get that victory. Sassuolo 3, Helas Verona 1, Sassuolo coming through to show us that Helas Verona

57
00:05:43,040 --> 00:05:47,600
are human and maybe those first two victories weren't a showcase of class but maybe something

58
00:05:47,600 --> 00:05:53,680
spell in their favour. Torino 1, Geno 1, nil last minute, Radonjić goal over there was

59
00:05:54,400 --> 00:05:58,800
I have a point to make on that goal that's quite funny so stay tuned towards the end of this.

60
00:05:59,360 --> 00:06:03,760
Lecce 2, Salernetana nil. Lecce looking very very fucking impressive man.

61
00:06:03,760 --> 00:06:09,440
I feel impressive. Helas might not be, Helas might be human but Lecce definitely are not.

62
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:19,040
Yeah exactly and to me the best game from this matchday, Udinese nil, Frozano nil, the best nil,

63
00:06:19,040 --> 00:06:24,240
the best all-Italian nil-nil since the 2003 Champions League final.

64
00:06:25,520 --> 00:06:28,480
Quite the same. I'm not waiting to discuss that bro.

65
00:06:28,480 --> 00:06:33,280
Wait till the end what a game the amount of drama controversy.

66
00:06:33,280 --> 00:06:35,680
You might want to fuss forward to one hour forty right now.

67
00:06:35,680 --> 00:06:43,760
But we'll get things started with Roma 1, Milan 2 and I believe that is your game brother.

68
00:06:43,760 --> 00:06:49,600
Indeed it is Milan absolutely outclassed Roma but Sakhar a massive scare at the end of the game

69
00:06:49,600 --> 00:06:53,520
after Roma managed the way back into the game despite never really being in it at all.

70
00:06:54,400 --> 00:07:00,400
All thanks to Atomori, second yellow and perhaps that's what seemed to bring Morinio's men to

71
00:07:00,400 --> 00:07:07,040
life finally. We saw from that Spurs documentary that we were watching Morinio telling his team

72
00:07:07,040 --> 00:07:13,920
the secret is the second an opponent gets sent off double down attack attack attack attack attack

73
00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:18,960
and the second Tomori got sent off in the 60th I was like okay this is gonna happen now.

74
00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:25,040
You literally said it and they attacked immediately. No team has won more away matches than Milan

75
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:31,120
against Roma and say yeah with 30. And Roma have picked up one point from their first three games.

76
00:07:31,120 --> 00:07:37,120
The last time they started their first three games of the season without a win was in 2011 and 2012

77
00:07:37,120 --> 00:07:43,040
where they drew two and lost one. Lineups so Roma of course were missing quite a few players over

78
00:07:43,040 --> 00:07:47,520
here like the Baal and Pellegrini weren't really fit. Locaco had just been brought in so couldn't

79
00:07:47,520 --> 00:07:54,720
start. Renato Sanchez is new and has some physical issues as well so they were missing quite a few

80
00:07:54,720 --> 00:07:59,920
people. In fact they lined up in a 3-5-2 formation with Rui Patricio and Goul. Laurentes, Smolling

81
00:07:59,920 --> 00:08:04,400
and Mancini were at the back with Zalewski on the left and Cellecon the right. Awar, Paré,

82
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:11,600
Des and Cristante were in the middle. Bellotti and Elshara we were the duo up front. For Milan

83
00:08:11,600 --> 00:08:16,240
for the third time in a row it was the 4-2-3-1 formation with Manjane and Goul, Calabria,

84
00:08:16,240 --> 00:08:20,400
Ciavo, Tomori and Hernandez at the back with Lofti Cicci and Kronec. Actually this is more

85
00:08:20,400 --> 00:08:26,400
of a 4-3-3 I would say. I was going to say for some reason on this side that we used it saying

86
00:08:26,400 --> 00:08:33,680
4-2-3-1 but it was evidently a 4-3-3. It shifts during the game you see for example Kronec dropping

87
00:08:33,680 --> 00:08:37,760
way deeper than the others and playing as a 6 but of course it was three midfielders basically

88
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,360
and Lofti Cicci, Reinders and Kronec. Pulisic was out on the right, Lea was out on the left and Giroud

89
00:08:43,360 --> 00:08:49,840
was up front. How long have we been asking for continuity at Milan? Finally, finally, finally

90
00:08:49,840 --> 00:08:56,960
starting 11. Yeah and this is the the point I made in my prediction when I said obviously before

91
00:08:56,960 --> 00:09:00,880
the league started that Milan can go all the way and win the league and you said look there are too

92
00:09:00,880 --> 00:09:06,800
many new pieces. I said I trust in purely as a manager to get the ones that are most familiarised

93
00:09:06,800 --> 00:09:12,800
with the squad and run away with them and start integrating the other one slowly. We've seen

94
00:09:12,800 --> 00:09:19,440
a consistent starting 11 which proves my point correct in that sense but now I am a bit

95
00:09:19,440 --> 00:09:24,560
concerned about how much playing time the other signings are going to get because of the late

96
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:32,160
substitution, the late nature of purely substitution but from a starting 11 aspect yes you're completely

97
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:38,320
right. It's nice to see new faces as well adapt so quickly you know having Reinders, Lofti Cicci

98
00:09:38,320 --> 00:09:43,440
and Pulisic starting the first three that just shows that the management were really good in

99
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:47,440
bringing them in early in the preseason. These guys adapted and drilled really quickly. Definitely

100
00:09:47,440 --> 00:09:53,040
having played at Chelsea before as well. So let's get into the play by play right in the fifth minute

101
00:09:53,040 --> 00:09:57,920
it all kicked off as Lofti Cicci played a nice one to Wijiru. He found himself in front of the

102
00:09:57,920 --> 00:10:03,600
keeper at an awkward angle and his initial shot was deflected well by a sliding Mancini who was

103
00:10:03,600 --> 00:10:10,000
quite calm this game. He was very calm by his standards. The ball bounced awkwardly over both

104
00:10:10,000 --> 00:10:15,280
players and the goalkeeper and was waiting to be tapped in basically. Cicci beat Lofti Cicci to

105
00:10:15,280 --> 00:10:21,760
the ball and cleared it but Rui Patricio had clipped Lofti Cicci with his studs. Impossible to

106
00:10:21,760 --> 00:10:26,000
see at first glance. Yeah I didn't even notice at first I was like now that's not a penalty and

107
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:32,480
then the replay showed the fourth angle. Exactly. The broadcasting showed us where even the commentator

108
00:10:32,480 --> 00:10:39,600
was like whoop there it is. Evidently. Exactly, clear as day. Jiru stepped up and of course he scores

109
00:10:39,600 --> 00:10:44,320
he never misses. He has a fantastic record when it comes to penalties with Milan and in his career

110
00:10:44,320 --> 00:10:50,880
in general I believe. This is me knocking on wood. Yeah in the 21st minute there Hernandez played a

111
00:10:50,880 --> 00:10:56,320
fantastic ball to the far post. Pulisic connected with it well but as in he got it on target but

112
00:10:56,320 --> 00:11:04,080
Rui Patricio made a phenomenal save over there. I can't quite grasp if Rui Patricio is a solid

113
00:11:04,080 --> 00:11:13,920
goalkeeper or not. No, when so his reflexes are like the reflexes of a guy that has been a

114
00:11:13,920 --> 00:11:19,840
trained professional goalkeeper for his entire life. He has those reflexes but his decision making

115
00:11:19,840 --> 00:11:24,880
and maybe his athleticism isn't quite on par with the other goalkeepers in Serie A I think. Yeah and

116
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:31,600
he tends to suffer lapses of concentration. Yeah but this save was such a good reaction.

117
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,120
It saved like his reflexes there were nuts. Honestly amazing. In the 48th minute Reinder

118
00:11:37,120 --> 00:11:41,600
split the ball to Calabria on the right with Swangen a perfectly weighted cross just behind

119
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:46,800
the falling layout. Of course what is to follow is our goal of the week. I'm not quite sure what

120
00:11:46,800 --> 00:11:53,600
the terminology used to describe Leows finish would be the official Twitter account of Serie A

121
00:11:53,600 --> 00:11:59,200
called it an inverse scissor kick. I find that quite ridiculous. Yeah some are calling it lazy

122
00:11:59,200 --> 00:12:07,280
layouts, lazy sit-down bicycle kick. Mocking those of course who criticize Leows work I think. Isn't

123
00:12:07,280 --> 00:12:16,320
an inverted scorpion kick like a Ravushata. Yeah an inverse scissor kick. An inverse scissor kick.

124
00:12:16,320 --> 00:12:21,920
Wow that's an overhead kick I've ever seen. He was just lower to the ground when he did it. Let's call

125
00:12:21,920 --> 00:12:28,800
it a falling semi-bicycle kick. Falling semi-bicycle kick. Sure. To really smooth feed it like.

126
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:35,520
Exactly. Or maybe it's gonna get its own term now. Yeah the layout. Oh my god like the grief turn.

127
00:12:35,520 --> 00:12:41,280
Yeah basically he left Patricio rooted to the spot. Didn't even dive like what a goal that was.

128
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:47,120
Roma didn't do anything in the first half they did absolutely nothing. Roma were shit. They were

129
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:52,640
absolutely terrible. Terribly set up like they didn't counter at all they were just trying to

130
00:12:52,640 --> 00:12:58,800
absorb Milan's pressure day. It's like they approached the game as the underdog. With the

131
00:12:58,800 --> 00:13:04,800
idea that Milan are the clear favorites and they're too good for them. In the 60th minute

132
00:13:04,800 --> 00:13:10,240
Tomori clipped Balotti. These guys were having a very interesting battle all game. Just outside the

133
00:13:10,240 --> 00:13:14,480
area and he was shown his second yellow. Balotti is very smart. He was playing for it he knows his

134
00:13:14,480 --> 00:13:19,680
opponent well. Tomori is very aggressive and he always presses his man immediately and Balotti

135
00:13:19,680 --> 00:13:24,960
really took advantage over here. Over there you could see Tomori shouting the two fouls,

136
00:13:24,960 --> 00:13:28,880
two yellows, two fouls, two yellows and he couldn't he couldn't quite believe it.

137
00:13:28,880 --> 00:13:34,000
I thought he was gonna get himself into more trouble. And the 71st minute Lukaku came one

138
00:13:34,000 --> 00:13:38,480
in the 91st minute Spinazola's effort from outside the area took a deflection off of Calullo and

139
00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:43,040
ended up in the back of the net. Roma pressed and pressed and pressed and tried and tried.

140
00:13:43,680 --> 00:13:48,960
They had a call for a corner at the end of the game but the ball had come off Balotti as Milan

141
00:13:48,960 --> 00:13:55,840
fans breathed a sigh of relief and referee blew the final whistle. It's crazy to me how late

142
00:13:55,840 --> 00:14:05,760
how late Roma left it to attack this game. I mean yeah the 60th minute when Tomori got sent

143
00:14:05,760 --> 00:14:11,360
off is where they saw their opportunity. We know how Roma are as a team. They're very very very

144
00:14:12,080 --> 00:14:20,160
opportunistic and they won't commit to a move if the move doesn't quite guarantee them a goal.

145
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:29,040
They're very very opportunistic in that sense and I think what was clear as hell in this game was

146
00:14:30,320 --> 00:14:35,440
Milan had Roma's number in the sense that these guys are gonna let us have the ball. Now what

147
00:14:35,440 --> 00:14:41,120
concerned me about this fixture coming into it was Milan are now playing a very offensive brand

148
00:14:41,120 --> 00:14:47,040
of football where they're constantly high doing a high press on their on their opponents

149
00:14:47,040 --> 00:14:51,760
and just attacking attacking attacking and I thought okay this is where Milan can land themselves

150
00:14:51,760 --> 00:14:56,400
in some trouble because Roma are great at absorbing the pressure and then going in on the counter

151
00:14:56,400 --> 00:15:00,880
or not going in on the counter and scoring from a corner and getting that one in victory for example.

152
00:15:01,920 --> 00:15:10,080
But Milan were incredibly patient and professional in this game. I think the two goes well the first

153
00:15:10,080 --> 00:15:14,000
one the ninth minute me I have been doing great at getting off the mark quite early

154
00:15:14,000 --> 00:15:21,280
and and then obviously in the 48th layout got that second and that gave Milan what is supposed to be

155
00:15:22,160 --> 00:15:26,640
the rest of the game holding possession and just being cautious and Milan did that well.

156
00:15:27,760 --> 00:15:34,160
They were more than happy to play the ball in their own half between the defenders. It was a

157
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:39,760
chill game in that sense for Milan but then the Tomori Red Card game and that is when the tide

158
00:15:39,760 --> 00:15:45,520
completely shifted. Totally and there were probably opportunities Milan could have got more goals.

159
00:15:46,080 --> 00:15:50,880
We look at the first half again as we mentioned Roma had 30% ball possession and only one shot

160
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:56,080
on target so absolutely dominated. There are quite a few things I'd like to talk about let's start off

161
00:15:56,080 --> 00:16:02,640
with Jirou bro he scored four in the opening three say matches this season. The last player to achieve

162
00:16:02,640 --> 00:16:10,240
this feat was Andriy Shevchenko in 2001-2002. It's a shame that Jirou has just got injured.

163
00:16:12,080 --> 00:16:17,760
He picked up a knock in the first 25 minutes of the France match against Ireland and was

164
00:16:17,760 --> 00:16:25,680
replaced by Toram who scored a little pre Derby W for Inter over there. Jirou in an interview

165
00:16:25,680 --> 00:16:32,160
after the game said I'm not worried about the Derby. The first thing I did when I woke up was

166
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:40,000
Jirou's news. Apparently he's still waiting for a medical update but he looked like he was in

167
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:50,320
distress with the ice pack on the ankle. Yes he looks absolutely amazing surrounded by players who

168
00:16:50,320 --> 00:16:56,880
understand him. He's flicking the ball on and he's making Messias and Salamacers and Brahim look

169
00:16:56,880 --> 00:17:05,440
really incompetent. Salamacers. Yes. He's making them all look incompetent as fuck because the way

170
00:17:05,440 --> 00:17:13,120
Poulisic and Reinders are feeding off these balls. I made a point and I stick by it at the moment

171
00:17:13,120 --> 00:17:18,640
Jirou is the best option up front for Milan and I'm not saying out of Milan starting 11 but as a

172
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:25,520
striker with a certain play style Jirou just fits them all so well. It really allows Poulisic and

173
00:17:25,520 --> 00:17:32,160
Leão to get him behind the way he drops deep. Even in the first penalty that was won by Ruben

174
00:17:32,160 --> 00:17:37,040
Loftus-Chic a slick one to with Jirou. You see the same thing that Poulisic did in the first match

175
00:17:37,040 --> 00:17:41,840
where he scored that worldly as well. That slick one to with Jirou as well. He's dropping deep. He's

176
00:17:41,840 --> 00:17:47,040
a playmaker. You put him on the spot. He guarantees you a goal. He's good in the air. He holds up

177
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:52,880
play nicely and then once he got off in this match how good was Noah Okafor at keeping the ball

178
00:17:52,880 --> 00:17:56,960
up for Milan. That's my next point. Literally broke. Chouqués and Okafor when they came on.

179
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:02,800
Great job. Bravissimi. They just had to hold the ball up. That is how you defend a lead.

180
00:18:02,800 --> 00:18:08,640
Exactly. And Okafor in particular was so good at it. Man winning fouls. Just using every second

181
00:18:08,640 --> 00:18:14,000
and winning every second backlight. And even Chouqués. He looks good when he has the ball.

182
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:19,520
Because the thing is we've only gotten the opportunity to see Okafor and Chouqués

183
00:18:19,520 --> 00:18:25,200
when Milan try to get them off their mark. So they're winning 4-1 against Torino. They're winning

184
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:30,240
2-0 against Bologna. Bring on these boys. See what they can do. This time it wasn't bring on these

185
00:18:30,240 --> 00:18:34,560
boys. See what they can do. It's bring on and fight for your life. So we saw them when the stakes

186
00:18:34,560 --> 00:18:38,720
were high now and they did a really, really good job over there. They were absolutely amazing and

187
00:18:38,720 --> 00:18:44,800
how good was Loftus Tric, bro. His best game yet. At the end of the game. He's a train. Purely

188
00:18:44,800 --> 00:18:50,640
went to take him out because he was on a yellow. And you can see Theo and Leo looking at Purely

189
00:18:50,640 --> 00:18:57,120
and going like what the hell? He's strong. Like Theo flexing. He's strong while you're taking

190
00:18:57,120 --> 00:19:03,360
him out. He was on a yellow though. And you bring on Pabega. It's a no brainer at that point.

191
00:19:03,360 --> 00:19:09,760
Loftus Tric to me, man of the match. But man, can I just say not to take anything away from

192
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:15,920
Loftus Tric. He was a train unbelievably technical, really strong, dispossessing, taking the ball

193
00:19:15,920 --> 00:19:21,120
forward. His link up play. It's like he was born to play in Italy this guy. Reinders, same thing.

194
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:26,480
He was excellent. But give me a break because this guy is too underrated. Radek Khrunich.

195
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:33,360
All game, every game, the metronome of Milan against Roma. He looked like Ben Nasser on the

196
00:19:33,360 --> 00:19:38,160
pitch, man. At a point they were all pressing him and he's just running in circles, just like

197
00:19:38,160 --> 00:19:43,840
keeping the ball away from him. His name or moment. Calm as ever. Whoever wants to remove him for

198
00:19:43,840 --> 00:19:48,320
eight million, any Milan fan that's willing, saying, okay, Khrunich can leave for eight million,

199
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:54,000
we'll get someone better. Shame on you, man. Because this guy knows the team and he is.

200
00:19:54,000 --> 00:19:59,520
He's the reference point. He's the reference point. Honestly. And until whenever the fuck Ben Nasser

201
00:19:59,520 --> 00:20:06,320
is back because there's Afgan after he's back, Khrunich is the best replacement for him. Ben

202
00:20:06,320 --> 00:20:14,560
Nasser is looking strong, bro. He's looking strong. Pan said he's on a slow. He's slowing

203
00:20:14,560 --> 00:20:19,760
right now. Instead of fasting for those who haven't done this. Milan brought in Jovic,

204
00:20:19,760 --> 00:20:23,360
who I haven't even discussed. Oh my God. Yes, personally, not a fan. Watch the

205
00:20:23,360 --> 00:20:31,680
material. Every time we've seen Jovic play, we've seen Jovic not do it. We've seen

206
00:20:31,680 --> 00:20:37,520
Jovic not emulate what he had done in Germany. All our lives, that's what we've seen from Jovic,

207
00:20:37,520 --> 00:20:43,760
but it came down to the last two hours to make a decision and taking that into account that

208
00:20:43,760 --> 00:20:49,360
Milan had two hours to bring on a sub striker that can rotate with Giroud. I don't think

209
00:20:49,360 --> 00:20:55,440
Jovic was the worst case scenario from that. I think Milan are taking a chance with this guy.

210
00:20:56,640 --> 00:21:00,960
And you know what? We saw him do well in Europe for Fiorentina at least last season. So

211
00:21:00,960 --> 00:21:04,160
maybe that's something for the Champions League. He's got some experience there as well.

212
00:21:04,160 --> 00:21:09,360
Yeah. I mean, if you had to present this line up to any Milan fan, like before the season

213
00:21:09,360 --> 00:21:16,240
started, would you take this? You said yes, right? And seeing the Tarim Idil fall towards the end

214
00:21:16,240 --> 00:21:21,520
and seeing that Milan managed to get a late striker in Jovic, who's still 26, who still has

215
00:21:21,520 --> 00:21:26,400
this EV he has, who still scored important goals in Europe, I guess it's not that bad. I guess

216
00:21:26,400 --> 00:21:32,080
Milan still have a right to complain there. No, I agree with you. Tarim would have been nice,

217
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:36,080
dude. Tarim would have been really nice, especially because he has a similar profile to Giroud in

218
00:21:36,080 --> 00:21:44,320
that sense. But you know what pocket it is, what it is. You bring this guy on a weekday,

219
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:49,760
Tuesday night, maybe he'll have a goal in him. You know what I mean? Otherwise, I would like to

220
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:55,040
see more and more of Giroud. I really hope he can stay fit all season, but it is his 37th birthday

221
00:21:55,040 --> 00:21:58,880
later on this month. I can't wait for him to inevitably score so we could tell him happy

222
00:21:58,880 --> 00:22:05,520
birthday, birthday, court on the fucking highlights. There we go, dude. Origa has joined nothing

223
00:22:05,520 --> 00:22:11,360
in force, so he's our dad's problem now. Enjoy Kevin.

224
00:22:12,560 --> 00:22:16,480
Theo Hernandez, I just want to praise him as he always seems to get to

225
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:20,880
passes that I always deemed too long. I always think, oh, that's too long for where he got it.

226
00:22:20,880 --> 00:22:25,360
There was one particular, I think you know the one I'm talking about on the left out,

227
00:22:25,360 --> 00:22:30,320
on the left hand side was a one-two. The ball was put so far and he was really good.

228
00:22:30,320 --> 00:22:37,840
Amazing. I think the score line suggests a close encounter. I think it was me all day,

229
00:22:37,840 --> 00:22:43,200
every day, against this side. Exactly. More than you had tried. His first game back

230
00:22:43,200 --> 00:22:49,280
in the trenches and he clearly had his us against the world mentality there, complaining about

231
00:22:49,280 --> 00:22:54,000
absolutely everything like they were being robbed. They always come in with this arrogance that they're

232
00:22:54,000 --> 00:22:59,040
being robbed more than your teams. You can see purely shushing more than you had. That's the

233
00:22:59,040 --> 00:23:04,480
closing point and that concludes the game perfectly. Milan off the three wins. Roma with a slow start,

234
00:23:04,480 --> 00:23:10,880
historically slow start. Roma one, Milan two. Next up, the derby della Madonina.

235
00:23:10,880 --> 00:23:16,640
I see not what we're covering right now, but next week. I don't have any notes for this one.

236
00:23:16,640 --> 00:23:23,680
The next game we're going to be covering is Napoli one Lazio two, just like in the second half

237
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:28,960
of last season, Lazio managed to get the W away from home against the champions. So Napoli were

238
00:23:28,960 --> 00:23:34,320
coming off two victories against Frozino and Sassuolo, whilst Lazio coming off two defeats to Lecce

239
00:23:34,320 --> 00:23:40,400
and the Genoa. Lazio one in the last area away game played against Napoli on the third of March

240
00:23:40,400 --> 00:23:46,880
2023. Thanks to a Vecino goal, interrupting a streak of five consecutive home wins for the Azzuri.

241
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:55,120
These were the top two last term, but had very different openings in the 2023-2024 season.

242
00:23:55,120 --> 00:23:59,120
Guevara made his first start of the season after recovering from a minor knock,

243
00:23:59,120 --> 00:24:03,280
but the Acuille had Pedro struggling with an ankle injury as they arrived, still looking

244
00:24:03,280 --> 00:24:09,200
for their first point of this campaign. When it comes to the lineups, they both started a

245
00:24:09,200 --> 00:24:15,440
4-3-3 formation, classic Napoli and classic Lazio. For Napoli, it was meriting all with a backline

246
00:24:15,440 --> 00:24:21,760
of Di Lorenzo, Rachmani, Juan Jesus and Oliveira, that Ziellinsky, Lobotka and Anguissa in the midfield

247
00:24:21,760 --> 00:24:26,880
with Guevara, Poletano and Ossimen up front. On the other hand, for Lazio, it was Providell between

248
00:24:26,880 --> 00:24:32,000
the sticks and the backline of Marci Cisciazzale, Romagnoli and Hisai, Camada, Cataldi and Luis

249
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:38,800
Alberto in the midfield, with Felipe Anderson, Zaccani and Immobile up front. So when the

250
00:24:38,800 --> 00:24:43,760
game started off, Guevara threatened from distance in the 20th minute, but Providell produced a great

251
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:50,480
fingertip save to deny the George in his first goal back. In the 30th minute, Luis Alberto opened

252
00:24:50,480 --> 00:24:55,360
the scoring, cleverly and instinctively, backheeled the ball past Meret at the first post, following

253
00:24:55,360 --> 00:25:01,520
a low cross by Anderson, spectacular goal over there. One of our candidates for a goal of the

254
00:25:01,520 --> 00:25:06,560
week, in fact. But then it was just two minutes later, when Napoli got one back through Ziellinsky,

255
00:25:06,560 --> 00:25:12,480
the Polish low strike from outside the area took a bubble and made its way into the far bottom corner.

256
00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:16,800
It was linked with a move to the capital in the summer, but now he is scoring against them.

257
00:25:18,080 --> 00:25:22,960
Just 25 seconds into the second half, Providell denied Ziellinsky's powerful volley with a great

258
00:25:22,960 --> 00:25:27,360
reaction and save, getting his body behind the ball very, very well. Those are two great saves

259
00:25:27,360 --> 00:25:33,600
by Providell in this match. And then in the 52nd minute, Lazio made a true one through new signing

260
00:25:33,600 --> 00:25:38,640
Kamada. Anderson carried the ball forward down the wing following Ziellinsky's slip.

261
00:25:38,640 --> 00:25:43,440
The Brazilian played a square ball outside the box. Alberto allowed the ball to run through

262
00:25:43,440 --> 00:25:48,960
his legs and to Kamada as the Japanese took two touches and finished into the far corner from

263
00:25:48,960 --> 00:25:54,640
just inside the area at quite an angle. Great finish by Kamada and that is Lazio at its finest

264
00:25:54,640 --> 00:25:59,840
when you see Alberto letting the ball go through his legs in a crossfield pass. Gives me shivers

265
00:25:59,840 --> 00:26:03,760
as it reminds me of the foreign victory for Lazio against Milan last season.

266
00:26:03,760 --> 00:26:06,240
Luis Alberto is unplayable when he's in this mood.

267
00:26:06,240 --> 00:26:12,240
Man, Luis Alberto, I would rather watch him with music playing than with commentary on.

268
00:26:12,240 --> 00:26:17,600
You know what I mean? He's so elegant and smart.

269
00:26:17,600 --> 00:26:22,960
Even here, it's really letting the ball run. And Kamada, by the way, or Kamada rather,

270
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:28,400
scored at a very important time for his confidence.

271
00:26:28,400 --> 00:26:32,000
Yes, a massive morale boost. This is a type of goal SMS would have got before.

272
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:37,680
100%. Against the defending champions and you get essentially the winning goal.

273
00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:41,360
Yeah, that's what the commentator said instantly. That's how you replace Milinkovic

274
00:26:41,360 --> 00:26:48,320
Savic. Apologies, I almost vomited. And then guys, this really wasn't the end of the game

275
00:26:48,320 --> 00:26:53,600
because this is a Lazio R2-1 up against Napoli in the 52nd minute. You can imagine what's coming

276
00:26:53,600 --> 00:27:02,080
after this. This is the passion of Guendouzi. Yeah, so you would think that now Napoli would

277
00:27:02,080 --> 00:27:07,760
be the ones attacking and attacking and attacking. However, in the 66th minute and then

278
00:27:07,760 --> 00:27:12,720
Zakanje finished well into the bottom corner following a brilliant fucking pass by Guendouzi.

279
00:27:12,720 --> 00:27:18,480
But VAR ruled the Italian to be marginally offside. Four minutes later in the 78th minute,

280
00:27:18,480 --> 00:27:24,880
Guendouzi rifled the ball into the top corner from just inside the area with a miraculous goal.

281
00:27:24,880 --> 00:27:30,240
But VAR ruled it off as Zakanje once again was offside during the build up of this.

282
00:27:30,240 --> 00:27:34,560
Now, the Italian didn't quite touch the ball when he was in the offside position, but he

283
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:41,360
interfered with Di Lorenzo's line of play, essentially. The pass was aimed at him,

284
00:27:41,360 --> 00:27:46,480
Di Lorenzo intercepted it, but naturally he wasn't interfering, so it was...

285
00:27:46,480 --> 00:27:50,640
Because the intention was to play the ball to a man in an offside position.

286
00:27:50,640 --> 00:27:54,240
Exactly. And the defender would be positioning himself in such a way to keep him offside.

287
00:27:54,240 --> 00:27:56,800
As the player where in there, the balls have never been played there.

288
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:10,640
Exactly. So in my heart, I truly believe that when Lazio went up, they started to dominate the

289
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:19,200
game. They got those two offside goals. Napoli threatened, but they didn't threaten to a

290
00:28:19,200 --> 00:28:25,200
ridiculous extent. It was mainly Lazio after that goal. The first half was all Napoli, though.

291
00:28:25,200 --> 00:28:31,600
What do you make of this game? So when Rudy Garcia came in, he said he didn't like the fact that

292
00:28:31,600 --> 00:28:37,200
Napoli's system relied heavily on one man. Do you know who that man is?

293
00:28:37,200 --> 00:28:42,560
Victor Rossimen. No. Lobotka. Exactly. Okay. I thought because the way that they played in

294
00:28:42,560 --> 00:28:47,600
this game, just trying to fucking hoof it off to Rossimen, maybe is a fact.

295
00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:55,120
He wanted more versatility. I guess he wanted to impose his system. Now his system, as we've seen,

296
00:28:55,120 --> 00:29:01,440
uses Lobotka less. In fact, Lobotka wasn't his usual self in this game. No, he wasn't in the

297
00:29:01,440 --> 00:29:05,920
positions that he would usually be in. He wasn't calling for it as much as he usually does.

298
00:29:05,920 --> 00:29:12,320
And we also see the full backs attacking more and going forward way more. And this is what

299
00:29:12,320 --> 00:29:17,600
Lazio essentially exposed. They were super patiently absorbed and absorbed and absorbed.

300
00:29:17,600 --> 00:29:22,400
And the second Olivera stepped out of line, one-two over him. That's it. He's gone.

301
00:29:23,600 --> 00:29:27,200
Philip Anderson has his fucking number. He's going to beat him any day on

302
00:29:27,200 --> 00:29:32,240
page. Easily. Yeah. And the first goal, that's how it started. Okay, Olivera managed to track

303
00:29:32,240 --> 00:29:39,280
back and actually even stop. Stop Philip Anderson, but then Anderson still managed to get the ball

304
00:29:39,280 --> 00:29:44,480
through to Alberto, who backheeled it. But that's what created the first goal, like initially.

305
00:29:44,480 --> 00:29:48,320
And the second goal came from attack down the right. And then it was a crossfield pass.

306
00:29:48,320 --> 00:29:52,240
So they switched play really efficiently. But it all started from the wings over there.

307
00:29:52,240 --> 00:29:58,400
Totally. So we can see that this Napoli team does have its flaws and they've been exposed quite early.

308
00:29:58,400 --> 00:30:08,000
We'll see how Rudy adjusts this. But giving Lobotka more importance, I think he can handle it. I

309
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:11,840
think he's super press resistant. Like you press Lobotka, you're not going to get the ball. For

310
00:30:11,840 --> 00:30:15,760
me, it was one of the best Regis, doesn't the league last season. So it was the best one.

311
00:30:15,760 --> 00:30:21,440
He was the best one, exactly. Having him as the main man in your system is not a bad thing.

312
00:30:21,440 --> 00:30:25,200
And you don't have to play the ball so directly when you're Napoli and you have a player like

313
00:30:25,200 --> 00:30:29,680
Lobotka and players like Angus, because you afford to play more laterally. You afford to take your

314
00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:33,440
time with it. You don't always have to be so direct. Exactly. That was the cool thing about

315
00:30:33,440 --> 00:30:39,760
Napoli last season. They attacked with purpose. They weren't just attacking because they need a

316
00:30:39,760 --> 00:30:44,560
goal. It never got down to that for that. So barely ever, at least. But it was rather, okay,

317
00:30:44,560 --> 00:30:48,160
we choose when we're going to attack. They were patient because they liked having the ball.

318
00:30:48,160 --> 00:30:58,960
I think that Garcia just got fucked up in this game by Sarri. If you look

319
00:30:58,960 --> 00:31:05,520
tactically at the way things went, I think it showed that it's Rudy's first spell,

320
00:31:05,520 --> 00:31:12,080
first season at Napoli, and that it's Sarri's third season at Lazio. So you were right to

321
00:31:12,080 --> 00:31:18,720
mention that obviously there was a lot of work done down the wings by Lazio to expose how high up

322
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:25,040
the Lorenzo and Oliveira were finding themselves, particularly Oliveira. But then what Lazio did

323
00:31:25,040 --> 00:31:31,120
was when they were defending, they heavily focused on defending down the middle. So they closed the

324
00:31:31,120 --> 00:31:38,400
interior channels more than the ones on the wing, knowing that Garcia's teams tend to attack

325
00:31:38,400 --> 00:31:44,480
down the middle. And you see that in how they opened the first two games. I feel like Sarri

326
00:31:44,480 --> 00:31:51,920
got his subs completely right, bringing on Guendouzi. That was a good move. Obviously,

327
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:58,560
maybe beginners luck. I don't think anyone expected Guendouzi to play that well, but that was a good

328
00:31:58,560 --> 00:32:04,320
sub. He looked really good. He looked insane, man. So driven as well, so motivated to succeed.

329
00:32:04,320 --> 00:32:11,040
Yeah. Meanwhile, and then Garcia, this is where I think he made mistakes. So firstly,

330
00:32:11,040 --> 00:32:16,080
what is his obsession with Mattias Oliveira? Is Mattias his first name? I believe it is.

331
00:32:16,080 --> 00:32:21,680
I think so. I think you're right. What's his obsession with him? I think Mario Rui showed

332
00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:26,960
us for the past two seasons that he's the right man for the job down the left. And you could see

333
00:32:26,960 --> 00:32:32,800
Oliveira get shafted by Anderson throughout the game. And I feel like he also took out

334
00:32:32,800 --> 00:32:38,720
Guevara quite prematurely. But then that could be an argument of does he have 90 minutes in him yet

335
00:32:38,720 --> 00:32:46,320
after his injury? However, Lindstorm, bringing on Lindstorm in the 75th minute, signed four days

336
00:32:46,320 --> 00:32:55,600
ago. No one knows who the fuck he is. And brings on Lindstorm. And he kept Anguissa on the pitch.

337
00:32:55,600 --> 00:33:02,480
Anguissa looked fucking exhausted. He didn't bring on Elmas. Elmas was that whenever and

338
00:33:02,480 --> 00:33:08,560
after he needed a goal, you could always see classic, classic substitution. You take out

339
00:33:08,560 --> 00:33:13,280
one of the more defensive midfielders and you bring on Elmas. Who can get you that?

340
00:33:13,280 --> 00:33:23,040
Look, at the end of the day, this is a new manager trying out his new tools. Had he brought on this

341
00:33:23,040 --> 00:33:29,200
new guy at the end and he would have scored, he would be hailed as a genius, for example.

342
00:33:29,200 --> 00:33:34,640
Of course. Elmas for me was the obvious choice. When you need a goal, you bring on Elmas because

343
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:38,880
he scored so many in the past and he's confident and he has this belief. But you never know right

344
00:33:38,880 --> 00:33:45,680
time. The manager has the right to try out his new weapons. Yeah, absolutely. I just think that in

345
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:50,880
the 75th minute, when you know you need a goal and you have the option of bringing on Elmas or a

346
00:33:50,880 --> 00:33:56,080
new signing from four days ago, I think it's a bit of a no brainer there. But hey, who's the professional?

347
00:33:56,080 --> 00:34:02,080
And then in the 84th minute, he brought on a striker. Exactly. Yeah, a bit late and he went

348
00:34:02,080 --> 00:34:09,120
for a two up top. And then I just feel it was a lot of, I think Sarri just had his number

349
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:13,440
throughout Sarri. Exactly what he was doing. It was quite a clean victory. I feel like Lazio

350
00:34:14,240 --> 00:34:18,400
awaited the storm in that first half and in the second half they just shifted the tide

351
00:34:18,400 --> 00:34:23,040
entirely. I think they frustrated them. Yeah. I think Providell had a very, very good game.

352
00:34:23,040 --> 00:34:29,760
Yeah. Super goalkeeper. Two brilliant saves. And yeah, I thought towards the end of the game

353
00:34:29,760 --> 00:34:34,240
that Lazio were going to win by an even bigger margin. Yeah, of course. Of course. They can

354
00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:38,800
banging them in, right? And then every time you see the flag up, so many celebrations.

355
00:34:38,800 --> 00:34:43,680
Literally. Now this is the thing. We even have some questions in the question segment. Obviously,

356
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:48,160
we'll address them. But some people are saying, was it too early to count Lazio out?

357
00:34:48,160 --> 00:34:54,880
Look, it's always too early right now to make claim on who's going to get top four,

358
00:34:54,880 --> 00:35:01,280
who's going to get relegated, this and that. It could even be the case that maybe if there was

359
00:35:01,280 --> 00:35:06,320
one day to face Napoli for Lazio, it was this day. Because I don't think Napoli were on top of their

360
00:35:06,320 --> 00:35:10,320
game at all. I still think they're finding their feet. I think they were blessed with the first

361
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:16,800
two games that they had to kind of get a feel for things. First real test, they lost out to Lazio.

362
00:35:16,800 --> 00:35:23,680
Is it Woohoo Lazio or is it Nehe Napoli? We'll wait and see. But that's all for this game.

363
00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:29,360
Exactly. We'll move on to the next game, which saw Fiorentina getting absolutely battered by

364
00:35:29,360 --> 00:35:34,160
Inter four goals, then that's on zero. Whoa, excuse me. I just whacked my microphone.

365
00:35:35,280 --> 00:35:40,320
Italiano made just one change to the team that beat Rapid Vient to qualify for the

366
00:35:40,320 --> 00:35:45,120
conference league in their midweek match. Inter took advantage of this fatigue and

367
00:35:45,120 --> 00:35:49,200
absolutely pounded them. It's essentially, I believe, a good summary of this game.

368
00:35:50,800 --> 00:35:56,080
Inter are the only team in Europe's top five leagues to not have conceded a single goal this

369
00:35:56,080 --> 00:36:03,600
season. So that's very good and very nicely done by Inter. Let's get into the starting 11.

370
00:36:03,600 --> 00:36:09,920
For Insagi's men, it's a 3-5-2 formation with Summer in goal, Bastoni, Devri and Darmian at the back,

371
00:36:09,920 --> 00:36:14,080
with DiMarco on the left wing, Dampres on the right wing, and Miquetaari in Chalano,

372
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:19,840
Glouan-Barrella in the middle. Lautaro Martinez and Turam formed there. Their new partnership

373
00:36:19,840 --> 00:36:24,880
up front, right? They're really gelling these guys. For Fiorentina, it was Christensen in goal

374
00:36:24,880 --> 00:36:29,360
and a 4-2-3-1 formation with Dodo out on the right, Baragi out on the left, Ranieri and

375
00:36:29,360 --> 00:36:33,760
Melinkovic as the centre back partnership. Now, I don't know if you've heard anything,

376
00:36:33,760 --> 00:36:37,840
but why is Ranieri playing centre back? Where's Martinez-Quarta? Isn't that the

377
00:36:37,840 --> 00:36:43,120
fucking weirdest shit in the world? Like, Quarta must be injured, no? He's not. He's on the bench.

378
00:36:43,120 --> 00:36:46,000
I don't know what the hell he's doing. I don't get why.

379
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:48,720
He's playing Ranieri centre back. It's the only change he made from the...

380
00:36:48,720 --> 00:36:54,000
It's crazy to me how the first time he ever does this is in a match against Inter.

381
00:36:54,000 --> 00:36:54,640
Right.

382
00:36:54,640 --> 00:36:57,840
It's berserk, like.

383
00:36:57,840 --> 00:36:59,760
Berserk.

384
00:36:59,760 --> 00:37:00,960
Arthur and Mandragora.

385
00:37:00,960 --> 00:37:08,000
Imagine randomly starting Calabria centre back, like, in the derby next week. The hell is happening.

386
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:14,800
Vincenzo Italiano, baby. Arthur and Mandragora were in the double pivot with Nico Gonzalez out on

387
00:37:14,800 --> 00:37:19,840
the right, Quama out on the left, Bonaventura as the terquatista, and Beltran up front,

388
00:37:19,840 --> 00:37:23,280
because he is intelligent and smart. Exactly.

389
00:37:23,280 --> 00:37:29,280
As Italiano pointed out. Now, in the 23rd minute, we had the first real chance of the game,

390
00:37:29,280 --> 00:37:34,400
which was quite cagey to begin with. This resulted in Theram's first goal in Inter

391
00:37:34,400 --> 00:37:39,520
Colours, when the Frenchman pounded home a DiMarco cross with his head.

392
00:37:39,520 --> 00:37:40,960
DiMarco's left foot, man.

393
00:37:42,240 --> 00:37:42,880
My God.

394
00:37:42,880 --> 00:37:43,840
There are many like it, huh?

395
00:37:43,840 --> 00:37:45,280
Should start an only fans for it.

396
00:37:45,280 --> 00:37:51,360
Exactly, man. Trust me, he'll make a lot of money, because that left foot in particular is fucking great,

397
00:37:51,360 --> 00:37:53,680
huh? It's great left foot.

398
00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:59,920
In the 30th minute, Theram almost doubled his money, but ended up sending Bastoni's cross

399
00:37:59,920 --> 00:38:01,520
over the bar from point blank.

400
00:38:01,520 --> 00:38:05,280
Ranged, this was a bittersweet game for Bastoni. Had a great game overall,

401
00:38:05,280 --> 00:38:08,480
but he did suffer a few clumsy misses.

402
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:14,880
Half-time came, Inter had 10 shots, and Fioratina had 2, and they were pretty much dominating the

403
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:19,920
game from the get go. In the 53rd minute, Lautaro got his fourth goal of the season with an expert

404
00:38:19,920 --> 00:38:25,200
finished thanks to a Theram assist. Theram pointed his fingers towards Lautaro, the same way Lukaku

405
00:38:25,200 --> 00:38:30,960
with Lautaro's eyes widened immediately, and he could be seen wagging his finger, going,

406
00:38:30,960 --> 00:38:35,280
no, no, no, no, we don't do that anymore. I can't wait for Inter Roma.

407
00:38:35,280 --> 00:38:36,080
Oh, man.

408
00:38:36,080 --> 00:38:38,080
I think that's going to be a fucking hilarious game.

409
00:38:38,080 --> 00:38:38,640
Sign me up.

410
00:38:38,640 --> 00:38:39,040
Yeah.

411
00:38:39,040 --> 00:38:40,000
If I hadn't just, you know.

412
00:38:40,000 --> 00:38:41,360
I bet he won't shake his hand.

413
00:38:41,360 --> 00:38:46,480
Man, I would love to coach at Game Live, yeah, to be mental.

414
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,080
He's definitely not shaking his hand.

415
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:52,240
I don't know, man. I don't know. I don't know.

416
00:38:52,240 --> 00:38:56,640
He seems to really resent him, he's speaking about him in the media, he's publicly doing these

417
00:38:56,640 --> 00:38:58,080
making these gestures, you know.

418
00:38:58,080 --> 00:38:59,600
There were rumors as well.

419
00:38:59,600 --> 00:39:02,080
There were rumors about those two.

420
00:39:02,080 --> 00:39:03,840
More than just friends.

421
00:39:05,680 --> 00:39:06,720
More than just brothers.

422
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:10,960
So maybe it's a bit hard, it is.

423
00:39:10,960 --> 00:39:17,920
In the 58th minute, Theram was taken down in the box by Christensen for a clear penalty.

424
00:39:17,920 --> 00:39:24,000
Tralano made no mistake in converting from the spot as the Curva sang their new song for Hakan,

425
00:39:24,000 --> 00:39:26,800
where they basically said, you never scored for Milan, but you score with us.

426
00:39:26,800 --> 00:39:30,400
It must be a fucking hero for them, man.

427
00:39:30,400 --> 00:39:31,360
Honestly.

428
00:39:31,360 --> 00:39:34,960
So Ram was played through by Lautaro later on, but failed to hit the target one-on-one with the

429
00:39:34,960 --> 00:39:38,240
keeper. It was from a tight angle, granted, but he still failed to hit the target.

430
00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:44,160
And Zaghi brought on Fratesi Quadrado Augusto and Altefuchand Aslan towards the end,

431
00:39:44,160 --> 00:39:46,160
of course, introducing them as early as possible.

432
00:39:46,720 --> 00:39:47,920
You know, the depth.

433
00:39:47,920 --> 00:39:49,440
Like the depth is good.

434
00:39:50,720 --> 00:39:54,880
Every season, this is the thing, every season it looks like Inter have weakened.

435
00:39:54,880 --> 00:40:00,240
Every season with the moves that are made in the market, the cheaper acquisitions are made,

436
00:40:00,240 --> 00:40:05,120
the older acquisitions are made, these strange signings come into play, a bunch of people on a

437
00:40:05,120 --> 00:40:09,680
free, they remove some really good, what we believe are key pieces.

438
00:40:09,680 --> 00:40:12,480
Every season this happens and Inter just come out stronger.

439
00:40:13,040 --> 00:40:14,480
What a performance by Inter.

440
00:40:14,480 --> 00:40:16,160
This was a performance.

441
00:40:16,160 --> 00:40:22,480
Like, okay, Fiorentina didn't even get started, but power to Inter for fucking not allowing

442
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,160
Fiorentina to get into the game at all. They were unbelievable in this game.

443
00:40:26,160 --> 00:40:28,720
I think it's still too early for Fiorentina though.

444
00:40:28,720 --> 00:40:34,560
I think that fucking tedious, terrible fucking mid-week game they had to win against Rapid

445
00:40:34,560 --> 00:40:36,800
Viendo. They just lost some robot as well.

446
00:40:36,800 --> 00:40:41,040
Exactly. They've brought in a player who couldn't even feature today, Maxim Lopez.

447
00:40:41,040 --> 00:40:43,440
For example, look at Maxim Lopez on this Fiorentina team.

448
00:40:43,440 --> 00:40:45,680
He's going to be the main focal point.

449
00:40:45,680 --> 00:40:52,960
He would have been a perfect replacement for Torreira.

450
00:40:52,960 --> 00:40:56,320
Yeah, exactly. Exactly. Exactly. Same profile.

451
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:56,800
Yeah.

452
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,040
But there was one more goal. There was one more goal.

453
00:40:59,040 --> 00:40:59,520
Oh, sorry.

454
00:40:59,520 --> 00:41:00,400
Which came in the end.

455
00:41:00,400 --> 00:41:00,960
No, no, no.

456
00:41:00,960 --> 00:41:03,440
Game, honestly, Inter are never done.

457
00:41:05,280 --> 00:41:10,000
In the 73rd minute, Quadrado drove a low-searching cross into the box,

458
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:12,160
which was converted by Lautaro Martinez.

459
00:41:12,160 --> 00:41:15,600
So that was Quadrado's first contribution in Inter.

460
00:41:15,600 --> 00:41:18,800
He looked good. He also looked greedy at times coming on.

461
00:41:18,800 --> 00:41:25,280
But my first point, 65% ball position for Fiorentina in the game.

462
00:41:25,280 --> 00:41:27,520
Yeah, they could have held onto it all day.

463
00:41:27,520 --> 00:41:33,520
They lacked creativity and Inter were just spot-on when it came to their organization,

464
00:41:33,520 --> 00:41:34,400
their defensive line.

465
00:41:35,200 --> 00:41:37,600
You look at Inter and the way they play, if you were to.

466
00:41:37,600 --> 00:41:46,000
If I had to choose the perfect seating to watch Inter play at a stadium,

467
00:41:46,000 --> 00:41:47,040
it wouldn't be from the side.

468
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:49,280
It would be a helicopter over the pitch.

469
00:41:49,280 --> 00:41:54,240
Because the way their formation moves, they are so systematic,

470
00:41:54,240 --> 00:41:56,320
especially when they're defending.

471
00:41:56,320 --> 00:42:00,080
You see the shapes, the different diamonds that are created,

472
00:42:00,080 --> 00:42:02,320
the different squares that are created.

473
00:42:02,320 --> 00:42:04,800
The way they shift is beautiful.

474
00:42:04,800 --> 00:42:08,000
They know who needs to press, who needs to hang back,

475
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:10,080
they know who's covering what channel.

476
00:42:10,080 --> 00:42:12,160
They move as an instrument.

477
00:42:12,160 --> 00:42:13,520
It's ridiculous.

478
00:42:13,520 --> 00:42:18,400
It's a system that's been there for quite some time.

479
00:42:18,400 --> 00:42:20,400
Like Conte had the same thing, right?

480
00:42:20,400 --> 00:42:20,800
Yeah.

481
00:42:20,800 --> 00:42:21,360
Right, Inter.

482
00:42:21,360 --> 00:42:23,200
It's been ever since that.

483
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:27,120
And as you said, Bro, completely, they could have had it all day.

484
00:42:27,120 --> 00:42:28,320
Inter didn't want the ball.

485
00:42:28,320 --> 00:42:28,640
No.

486
00:42:28,640 --> 00:42:30,560
Inter knew what to do of it.

487
00:42:30,560 --> 00:42:33,520
But the second that they did get the ball,

488
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,840
they were just exposing Fiorentina so hard.

489
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:38,880
I feel like firstly, the wing backs,

490
00:42:38,880 --> 00:42:44,160
the second, even before one of the midfielders of Inter

491
00:42:44,160 --> 00:42:46,560
obtains possession from a Fiorentina player,

492
00:42:46,560 --> 00:42:48,480
you could see the wing backs making a run.

493
00:42:48,480 --> 00:42:52,080
Like they've been making the run two seconds before the tackle was made.

494
00:42:52,080 --> 00:42:54,080
They just understand each other, man.

495
00:42:55,840 --> 00:42:56,720
They're scary.

496
00:42:56,720 --> 00:42:58,400
They're an unbelievable team.

497
00:42:58,400 --> 00:42:59,360
Yeah.

498
00:42:59,360 --> 00:43:01,760
Fiorentina, of course, fatigued and they looked it.

499
00:43:01,760 --> 00:43:03,760
Dodo had a particularly bad game.

500
00:43:03,760 --> 00:43:07,440
I thought he was getting absolutely destroyed by Demarco over and over again.

501
00:43:07,440 --> 00:43:09,680
Ranieri looked out of sorts at times.

502
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:14,080
He had a few clutch moments, but it showed that he wasn't meant to be playing.

503
00:43:14,080 --> 00:43:18,080
I don't think they all had a shit game, man, to be honest.

504
00:43:18,080 --> 00:43:22,320
Fiorentina, because like the same way in the first match,

505
00:43:22,320 --> 00:43:25,440
we're praising Fiorentina, but we said we can't get carried away

506
00:43:25,440 --> 00:43:30,400
because it's Genoa that they played and we were obviously right to be cautious over there.

507
00:43:30,400 --> 00:43:33,120
I do want to be cautious in my praise for Inter,

508
00:43:33,120 --> 00:43:35,120
because Fiorentina simply weren't up to the task.

509
00:43:35,120 --> 00:43:35,760
Yes, yes, yes.

510
00:43:35,760 --> 00:43:42,960
But to me, some teams play the occasion and some teams play the game.

511
00:43:43,920 --> 00:43:45,120
Interplay the game.

512
00:43:45,120 --> 00:43:48,640
Typically, if you see yourself going up against him like Fiorentina,

513
00:43:48,640 --> 00:43:51,360
like why didn't they shut up shop after the first goal?

514
00:43:51,360 --> 00:43:51,840
Yeah.

515
00:43:51,840 --> 00:43:54,640
Why didn't they panic and say, okay, now we bring on an extra defender,

516
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,320
now we defend or something like that.

517
00:43:56,320 --> 00:43:59,840
No, they smelt blood and they went out and they started to play.

518
00:43:59,840 --> 00:44:00,640
They went out and they got it.

519
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:02,320
They were opportunistic in that sense.

520
00:44:02,320 --> 00:44:06,400
So power to Inter for exposing Fiorentina brilliantly.

521
00:44:06,400 --> 00:44:08,800
Yep, and worked every single time for them this game.

522
00:44:08,800 --> 00:44:11,760
But Tony, I want to highlight his performance with the player.

523
00:44:12,800 --> 00:44:17,600
He had five key passes, four big chances created, six accurate long balls,

524
00:44:17,600 --> 00:44:19,760
all while containing Niko and Beltran.

525
00:44:19,760 --> 00:44:23,680
He had five duels, one, two clearances, two interceptions and two tackles as well.

526
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:24,880
So he's an all-rounder.

527
00:44:24,880 --> 00:44:28,960
And you can see him driving into the trecuartista position for this Inter team.

528
00:44:28,960 --> 00:44:31,040
And he'll have the ball and he'll release.

529
00:44:31,040 --> 00:44:32,880
Like he's a creative fucking player.

530
00:44:32,880 --> 00:44:34,080
He's an offensive weapon.

531
00:44:34,080 --> 00:44:34,560
He's so good.

532
00:44:34,560 --> 00:44:35,280
100%.

533
00:44:36,480 --> 00:44:40,800
And I want to highlight as well as much as it, obviously, Theram,

534
00:44:42,720 --> 00:44:46,880
he is looking like he's jetting into the system and that he's going to be

535
00:44:47,600 --> 00:44:50,400
a perfect replacement for Lukaku.

536
00:44:52,720 --> 00:44:56,720
Shalannoglu, I just have to give him props because

537
00:44:56,720 --> 00:45:03,600
adapting to that register role is not easy, especially for a trecuartista slash medzala.

538
00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,040
Like the last thing we believed he was, was a register.

539
00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:12,640
But in replacing Brozovic, he brings calmness, he brings fluidity,

540
00:45:13,440 --> 00:45:15,440
and he's been good for them.

541
00:45:15,440 --> 00:45:21,840
And now he is confirmed to be their starting penalty taker, number one rigorista.

542
00:45:21,840 --> 00:45:26,720
I think he's grown Shalannoglu in that role as a register.

543
00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:27,760
He totally has.

544
00:45:27,760 --> 00:45:30,560
He's become a key player and a fan favorite of his.

545
00:45:30,560 --> 00:45:34,640
Yeah, Theram, with their suite, as we mentioned, scored assisted one a penalty,

546
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:38,320
but missed three golden chances, I guess, just with an action-packed player.

547
00:45:38,320 --> 00:45:43,120
There are days when you'll be a hero, there are days when they'll come back to haunt you.

548
00:45:43,120 --> 00:45:46,960
As long as for now, he's in the right place at the right time.

549
00:45:46,960 --> 00:45:50,400
Sometimes he doesn't react as quickly as he should, but

550
00:45:50,400 --> 00:45:52,000
he's learning and he's growing.

551
00:45:52,960 --> 00:45:57,120
In selling Amrabat, Fiorentina have lost an entire dimension from their team

552
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,520
that clearly has not been replaced.

553
00:46:00,880 --> 00:46:01,360
Totally true.

554
00:46:01,360 --> 00:46:06,320
This was a comment I saw and I chose to bring it up because it's totally true, right?

555
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:09,120
They don't have that metronome, that physicality anymore.

556
00:46:09,120 --> 00:46:11,680
But as we mentioned, Maxim Lopez still needs to come in.

557
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:17,920
They're missing Barak, Iqone, Yerimina, Castrovilli, these guys only need to come back into the team.

558
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:21,280
They could have used some depth at the start of the season,

559
00:46:21,280 --> 00:46:22,640
but it's just the worst time for them.

560
00:46:22,640 --> 00:46:24,400
They'll get better undoubtedly.

561
00:46:24,400 --> 00:46:28,560
They had a similar start, sorry to interrupt, last season.

562
00:46:28,560 --> 00:46:32,160
So they got five points from the first five Serie A games last season.

563
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:33,680
It was deemed a terrible start.

564
00:46:33,680 --> 00:46:34,160
It was.

565
00:46:34,160 --> 00:46:37,360
They had to try to balance the conference league and the league, right?

566
00:46:37,360 --> 00:46:42,400
They went on to make two cup finals, these guys, the Coppa Italia final and the Conference League final.

567
00:46:42,400 --> 00:46:45,600
Italiano was heavily criticised at the start, but then he grew into the season

568
00:46:45,600 --> 00:46:48,240
and I think they'll do even better this season.

569
00:46:48,240 --> 00:46:55,040
I think so, man, even just 11 men, not only 11, but the entire stuff,

570
00:46:55,040 --> 00:47:00,240
being on all those journeys together, getting to these two finals, working their asses off,

571
00:47:00,240 --> 00:47:06,160
like having those extra sessions in together to get fit for the upcoming games.

572
00:47:07,040 --> 00:47:11,280
That all being through that experience molds the team and jails the team.

573
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:13,200
They've been through it all together.

574
00:47:13,200 --> 00:47:16,400
So they do get closer and they do get better as a team.

575
00:47:16,400 --> 00:47:18,640
So be patient with Fiorentina.

576
00:47:18,640 --> 00:47:24,880
This is a four in the lost winter and anyone can get a four in the lost winter on an off day.

577
00:47:24,880 --> 00:47:27,520
Yeah, and that concludes the game.

578
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:29,680
Inter have not conceded a goal yet.

579
00:47:29,680 --> 00:47:33,040
They are first and they take on Milan next year, so they haven't lost the game yet.

580
00:47:33,040 --> 00:47:36,000
Yeah, it is going to be one hell of a derby.

581
00:47:36,800 --> 00:47:39,120
I'm not going to predict the way the game goes,

582
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:42,000
because typically when you get this is the first derby in my opinion,

583
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:45,840
that we've really seen both teams on the red hot fucking firing form,

584
00:47:45,840 --> 00:47:49,920
because it's either towards the start of the season, like it was last year,

585
00:47:49,920 --> 00:47:52,640
where Inter hadn't started yet on Milan, where the champions,

586
00:47:52,640 --> 00:47:55,360
they had this momentum and they beat Inter.

587
00:47:55,360 --> 00:48:00,240
And then every time Milan faced Inter again, they had a bunch of injuries last season,

588
00:48:00,240 --> 00:48:02,320
or something was going on.

589
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:04,480
Lea, Winger, Giroux, Winger.

590
00:48:04,480 --> 00:48:09,760
I saw starting 11 Milan had against Inter last season when they played a 3-4-3 or a 3-5-2,

591
00:48:09,760 --> 00:48:12,480
it was hilarious.

592
00:48:12,480 --> 00:48:14,560
This is the first derby we're seeing in a while,

593
00:48:14,560 --> 00:48:17,760
where both teams are on the red hot fucking piping form.

594
00:48:17,760 --> 00:48:20,800
If Giroux is fit, then there's going to be one hell of a derby.

595
00:48:20,800 --> 00:48:24,880
What worries me is that typically when both teams are on great form,

596
00:48:24,880 --> 00:48:27,280
both of them tend to be a bit more cautious in the game.

597
00:48:27,280 --> 00:48:29,120
So it could be a low score in one.

598
00:48:29,120 --> 00:48:31,680
We'll see. It might be at the start, but I do feel like

599
00:48:32,400 --> 00:48:34,320
with the players on the pitch, there will be goals.

600
00:48:34,320 --> 00:48:39,040
You know, there will be a lot. Even the fact that you've got Tomori out

601
00:48:39,040 --> 00:48:43,280
and Kalulu stepping in, I feel like that might be something that Inter feel they might be able

602
00:48:43,280 --> 00:48:47,520
to exploit with all respect to Kalulu, because he's a fantastic player.

603
00:48:47,520 --> 00:48:48,720
But you never know.

604
00:48:49,520 --> 00:48:51,120
The occasion might always get to you.

605
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,120
It might make you have an incredible game.

606
00:48:53,840 --> 00:48:59,600
At the end of the day, that's something that Milan ideally wouldn't want to have,

607
00:48:59,600 --> 00:49:01,520
right? That they want to have their starting players.

608
00:49:01,520 --> 00:49:05,360
Even Giroux up top, who might have to actually start with Jovic, you know,

609
00:49:06,320 --> 00:49:08,080
up front or Okaforas the nine.

610
00:49:08,080 --> 00:49:10,560
And then you put policing like everything might change.

611
00:49:10,560 --> 00:49:12,800
Yeah, there's still a week left to go.

612
00:49:12,800 --> 00:49:16,480
There are also the, there's also like Giroux got injured yesterday,

613
00:49:16,480 --> 00:49:17,840
because he was representing France.

614
00:49:18,480 --> 00:49:19,840
There are more fixtures today.

615
00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:20,880
There are more fixtures tomorrow.

616
00:49:20,880 --> 00:49:22,320
There are more fixtures the day after.

617
00:49:22,320 --> 00:49:25,200
So they think of all the things that can happen over there.

618
00:49:25,200 --> 00:49:26,800
But let's jump to the next game.

619
00:49:26,800 --> 00:49:31,280
And Pauline L, you've two, you were coming off a victory over Odinez

620
00:49:31,280 --> 00:49:34,240
and that draw against Bologna, while Sempoli are three out of three,

621
00:49:34,240 --> 00:49:37,280
four losses now losing out to Verona, Monza and now Juve.

622
00:49:38,320 --> 00:49:39,200
Coming into this game,

623
00:49:39,200 --> 00:49:42,320
Empoli had one, two of their last four against Juve,

624
00:49:42,320 --> 00:49:46,080
including a devastating four-one victory over the Bianconeri last season.

625
00:49:46,080 --> 00:49:48,080
Following the announcement of their point deduction,

626
00:49:48,080 --> 00:49:52,000
moving them down from second to seventh, that was the scenes there where

627
00:49:52,800 --> 00:49:55,280
very tense and nerve-wracking.

628
00:49:55,280 --> 00:50:00,160
Now the Bianconeri made several changes after the controversial one-one draw with Bologna,

629
00:50:00,160 --> 00:50:03,200
still missing Cesney and Mattia de Schilio.

630
00:50:03,200 --> 00:50:06,160
Empoli had lost both matches without finding the net,

631
00:50:06,160 --> 00:50:09,120
with Elia Caprile and Daniel Maldini injured,

632
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:12,000
so Berisha made his debut in goal over here.

633
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:16,480
Now Empoli started the game in a 4-3-3 formation with Berisha in goal

634
00:50:16,480 --> 00:50:20,720
and a backline of Berezinski, Valukevic, Luperto and Petzella,

635
00:50:20,720 --> 00:50:25,200
then with field three of Mále, Márin and Fazzini and Cambiaghi starting out on the left,

636
00:50:25,200 --> 00:50:27,920
Baldanzi on the right and Ciccio Caputo up front.

637
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:33,360
For Uvert was a 3-5-2 formation with Perrinding goal and a backline of Gatti, Bremer and Danilo.

638
00:50:33,360 --> 00:50:37,120
McKenny started out on the right, Costage started out on the left,

639
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:39,920
Andrabio, Locatelli and Miretti formed the midfield three,

640
00:50:39,920 --> 00:50:42,000
Lutkiesa and Vlahovic up front.

641
00:50:43,760 --> 00:50:46,880
So Danilo headed the ball into the back of the net in the 10th minute,

642
00:50:46,880 --> 00:50:50,400
but the goal was ruled out due to a foul on goalkeeper, Berisha,

643
00:50:50,400 --> 00:50:54,880
when the initial cross came in, the foul was made by the goal scorer himself.

644
00:50:54,880 --> 00:51:00,480
In the 24th minute and then Danilo, this time his goal stood as there was confusion in the area

645
00:51:00,480 --> 00:51:04,720
following an eventous corner and the ball ended up in the feet of the captain who slotted in

646
00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:12,800
past Berisha, making it Uvert 1-1-0. In the 39th minute, Vlahovic stepped up for a penalty and

647
00:51:12,800 --> 00:51:18,080
missed. The Serbian was denied from the spot as Berisha got down well to deny a rather central

648
00:51:18,080 --> 00:51:23,200
strike by Vlahovic, the penalty was won by Gatti who was tripped up by Mále in the box.

649
00:51:23,200 --> 00:51:29,920
In the 65th minute, Pogba's expert volley was ruled out after Vlahovic to be in an offside position,

650
00:51:29,920 --> 00:51:35,600
couldn't catch a break, even ruined Pogba's moment. It was a great volley by Pogba.

651
00:51:35,600 --> 00:51:38,960
Pogba's 15 minutes between injuries, right?

652
00:51:38,960 --> 00:51:45,280
Yeah, exactly. In the 82nd minute and then one of my favourite goals of the week,

653
00:51:45,280 --> 00:51:51,920
it has to be said, Kierza made it 2-0 after Kierza had been threatening for an entire game

654
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:58,000
in the 82nd minute, he managed to score and make it 2-0. After terrorizing Mpoly for a full match,

655
00:51:58,000 --> 00:52:03,200
Kierza finally put his name on the score sheet as Mpoly piled men for the slick 1-2 between

656
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:07,840
Kierza and Mlec put the Italian clean through on goal. Berisha came way off his line to the

657
00:52:07,840 --> 00:52:12,880
Nike Kierza who rounded the keeper, lost his footing due to the contact with the goalkeeper

658
00:52:12,880 --> 00:52:17,120
but got back up and finished into an empty net from a rather tight angle at that point.

659
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:23,280
Classic Kierza, whose green tar is unmatched. I would have loved to hear that goal without fans.

660
00:52:23,280 --> 00:52:25,120
I would have loved to hear with Kierza somewhat.

661
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:35,040
Literally, if only it happened during Covid. In the 91st minute,

662
00:52:35,040 --> 00:52:39,280
Mlec's header following away across hit the crossbar but that was pretty much it.

663
00:52:39,280 --> 00:52:42,480
Mpoly nailed you, there were probably no doubts about that.

664
00:52:42,480 --> 00:52:46,960
Gatti and Pogba picked up minor injuries, it is said that they'll be back sooner rather than

665
00:52:46,960 --> 00:52:55,440
later but yeah, Pogba enjoyed again man. He can't catch a break for a guy. I wonder if his

666
00:52:55,440 --> 00:53:01,760
body can't actually hold up at this level. That is where my head is at now because it's like,

667
00:53:01,760 --> 00:53:07,040
okay, I've picked up a minor injury, it could happen to anyone at any time, a minor injury,

668
00:53:07,040 --> 00:53:12,240
you know, when you're playing a fucking game of football but again and again and again and again

669
00:53:12,240 --> 00:53:16,560
and again, it's like the pattern is really repeating itself and it's not. It's 30 minutes

670
00:53:16,560 --> 00:53:23,600
of football. Yeah man, yeah. But power to Pogba. I'm still waiting to see him at his best in Italy.

671
00:53:23,600 --> 00:53:27,360
That's crazy, he always looks so good no matter how long he's been injured for or whatever.

672
00:53:28,720 --> 00:53:34,160
He's a level above the rest. Yeah, he's a world-class footballer. If it weren't for those

673
00:53:34,160 --> 00:53:40,560
fucking injuries, man, it'd be like we saw the season he won the World Cup for France, for example,

674
00:53:40,560 --> 00:53:48,080
that shit was or the other seasons at Juve, that shit is ballon d'or, esq potential, like you

675
00:53:48,080 --> 00:53:54,080
know what I mean, Puskas award potential and all that. But anyway, let's talk about this game a

676
00:53:54,080 --> 00:54:02,000
little bit. What did you make of, I mean, it was an expected victory for Juve up against

677
00:54:02,000 --> 00:54:07,840
Empoli winning 2-0. I personally think that Juve, it would be disappointed that they didn't win the

678
00:54:07,840 --> 00:54:12,240
game by a larger margin because they had many opportunities. What did you make of this game?

679
00:54:12,240 --> 00:54:17,840
I appreciated Allegri's approach. I like the fact that after the goal that came in the 82nd minute,

680
00:54:17,840 --> 00:54:25,600
Juve had another four shots, for example. That's always good to see. The question with this Juve

681
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:31,440
aside is okay, so they're playing once a week. We've got a good team. Even though Allegri made

682
00:54:31,440 --> 00:54:38,640
the funny comparison, let me find the one second to know it. He basically made reference to, you

683
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:43,840
remember when Conte said you can't go to a 100 euro restaurant with 10 euro? He kind of has his own

684
00:54:43,840 --> 00:54:49,360
version of this Allegri. He said you can't take on a tank with a pistol, is what he randomly said

685
00:54:49,360 --> 00:54:53,280
about his team. Now granted, the only team they've dropped points to are Bologna. Are you saying

686
00:54:53,280 --> 00:54:59,760
Bologna have a tank, bro? Well, you're playing once a week, use your pistol wisely. Allegri,

687
00:54:59,760 --> 00:55:07,840
he's the master of this. It's just downplaying their chances up until the final day.

688
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:15,360
But yes, they do look more positive. The problem with Juve has come so far when they face a very,

689
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:23,920
very competent tactician that's backed with a good squad, Motta and Bologna. Juve are always

690
00:55:23,920 --> 00:55:28,800
going to win these games against Ampoulis, Soler and Natal. They'll win these games. The problem is

691
00:55:28,800 --> 00:55:34,800
when they face the bigger teams, can they hold up? Is Allegri's style going to remain relevant or

692
00:55:34,800 --> 00:55:40,400
will it look like the Milan Roma game? Similar, yes, similar with Juve and Roma in that sense.

693
00:55:41,600 --> 00:55:48,480
I think Juve are looking more positive with more attacking football being played.

694
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:55,040
They're more confident having the ball than they were in the past. And I think despite the penalty

695
00:55:55,040 --> 00:56:03,440
miss, Vlaovic is generally looking more comfortable on the pitch. I'm not saying his shooting boots

696
00:56:03,440 --> 00:56:07,440
have been on because they haven't been. He's scored one penalty so far in three games and he

697
00:56:07,440 --> 00:56:14,000
missed one as well. But he isn't simply being marked out of matches in the last few seasons.

698
00:56:14,720 --> 00:56:19,200
He's more involved. The movement and his chemistry with his teammates looks improved to

699
00:56:19,200 --> 00:56:23,760
how it was in the past. They still, however, aren't feeding him as much as they should be.

700
00:56:23,760 --> 00:56:33,680
But I think once Juve are mastered, Vlaovic and how to use our main guy up front efficiently,

701
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:38,720
it would make them much more dangerous. I think him and Chieza up top is looking like

702
00:56:38,720 --> 00:56:42,640
that is the best case scenario for Juve. They couldn't line up in a better way.

703
00:56:42,640 --> 00:56:47,520
And this means they have a lot of speed on both sides of the pitch because you've got

704
00:56:47,520 --> 00:56:52,880
Kostas on one side who can devastate his man and Chieza on the other. He can use that and keep

705
00:56:52,880 --> 00:56:58,560
up with pretty much anyone on the counter. Yeah, waya as well. Exactly, waya too. I was really

706
00:56:58,560 --> 00:57:05,040
impressed by the way with Millic's footwork on the second goal on the pass. Perfectly weighted

707
00:57:05,040 --> 00:57:10,800
ball. Perfectly weighted. Enough for Berisha to think that he can get to it to make him rush off

708
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:17,440
his line but enough for Kierza to actually get to it before him. It must be a joy having up there

709
00:57:17,440 --> 00:57:29,200
that quick to play on to it. You mentioned Kostich, he's back. He wasn't injured or he

710
00:57:29,200 --> 00:57:35,200
wasn't suspended. Nothing, he was just transfer. The transfer rumours that are forrest interested

711
00:57:35,200 --> 00:57:42,160
among some other teams. Poor Kambiaso man. Kostich played, he pretty much did what you'd

712
00:57:42,160 --> 00:57:50,480
expect from Kostich. Work hard for the entire game. Tackle, run, sprint, cross. That's exactly

713
00:57:50,480 --> 00:57:56,000
what you expect from him. Poor Kambiaso man. I feel like he is a better fit for this team when it

714
00:57:56,000 --> 00:58:03,840
comes to chemistry and the way they play together. I feel like Kambiaso and Kierza really understood

715
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:09,200
each other and then Kostich kind of comes in, does his own thing a little bit. I prefer Kambiaso

716
00:58:09,200 --> 00:58:14,720
and the team. There's after just like two games. We have to see. Kostich was one of you as best

717
00:58:14,720 --> 00:58:19,040
players. The fact that Kambiaso even got games is already surprising and he's already doing very

718
00:58:19,040 --> 00:58:23,360
well. Competition never hurt anyone especially when you're coming up through the ranks, having

719
00:58:23,360 --> 00:58:28,240
an older player that you can look up to, you got to learn from and you can also compete with.

720
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:36,160
Definitely. Weekly Danilo Hurra. Three, two, one. Hurra! Empoli have not put up a fight against any

721
00:58:36,160 --> 00:58:42,400
of their opponents so far. I wasn't quite expecting them to put up a fight against you,

722
00:58:42,400 --> 00:58:50,240
but maybe in their previous matches up against, I believe it was Verona and I know this,

723
00:58:50,880 --> 00:58:56,880
Verona and Monza. I feel like they could have done more in those games. I think Empoli at the

724
00:58:56,880 --> 00:59:04,320
moment look like two-way steam in the league. Yeah, they do have the players and the manager

725
00:59:04,320 --> 00:59:08,640
to actually grow into the season. But what a terrible start for them right now. Many people

726
00:59:08,640 --> 00:59:14,880
have moved them into their bottom three. They were in my bottom three two weeks before the season

727
00:59:14,880 --> 00:59:18,640
started. And then you changed your mind. And I put them a bit higher. But you know what man,

728
00:59:18,640 --> 00:59:21,760
I still think the team's stupid to get relegated. No, I mean the Decibel. We've said that before.

729
00:59:21,760 --> 00:59:27,360
We've said about Calhire. It's match day three. Exactly. You know, let's relax. Yeah. Did Marin

730
00:59:27,360 --> 00:59:34,240
try any long-range shots this game? I can't. If I didn't include it in my

731
00:59:34,240 --> 00:59:42,400
rundown, then I didn't deem it a threat. So you're go brother. You're go. I'm up. Yes, sir.

732
00:59:42,400 --> 00:59:50,480
We have got Atalanta three Monza. Oh, yes. Atalanta were simply too much to handle for Monza

733
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:57,120
after a cage restart to the game. Since Monza's first season in Serie A, last season basically,

734
00:59:57,120 --> 01:00:05,840
Atalanta have always beaten Monza. They are currently on aggregate 10-2. Wow. 10-2 for Atalanta.

735
01:00:05,840 --> 01:00:10,880
Jesus. So yeah, Monza always struggling at Atalanta. I mean, Atalanta tend to blow the

736
01:00:10,880 --> 01:00:16,400
newer teams out of the water unless you're frozen in the on app. Exactly. So 3-4-1-2 for

737
01:00:16,400 --> 01:00:22,400
Gasperini's men with Musson goal, Colassenac, Jim City and Scalvini at the back, Ruggeri out on the

738
01:00:22,400 --> 01:00:27,440
left, Zappacost out on the right with Ederson on the rune in the double pivot. Coop miners playing

739
01:00:27,440 --> 01:00:33,600
behind the strikers. So in this case, both getting their first start for Atalanta were Scamacca

740
01:00:33,600 --> 01:00:40,880
and Decay Telares. Of course, Duvan Zapata has moved to Torino. For Monza, it was a 3-4-2-1

741
01:00:40,880 --> 01:00:45,920
formation with Di Gregorio on goal. Caldi Rola, Mari and Itzo were at the back with Birindelli

742
01:00:45,920 --> 01:00:51,760
out on the right. Patrick Turey on the left, Cina and Gallardini in the middle with Colpani

743
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:58,720
and Caprari behind Mota. As you can hear, my voice is still weird, guys. It's been almost a month now.

744
01:00:59,600 --> 01:01:06,640
I might have to find a new co-host soon, bro. It looks like me and the dog are sooner or later.

745
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:11,920
So neither outfit really threatened in the first 20 minutes. The first real site of goal coming

746
01:01:11,920 --> 01:01:17,520
shortly after the midway point in the opening period of Atalanta. Some are signing Scamacca.

747
01:01:17,520 --> 01:01:23,600
Heather was denied by a Monza goalkeeper, Di Gregorio, while Scalvini buried the rebound,

748
01:01:23,600 --> 01:01:29,520
but it was ruled offside. I read that terribly. Basically, we didn't understand. Scalvini scored,

749
01:01:29,520 --> 01:01:38,880
but it was offside. In the 35th minute, Ederson opened the official scoring. The goal was a result

750
01:01:38,880 --> 01:01:44,000
of a corner kick taken by Coopminers who whipped in the ball and was hit by Caldi Rola. It struck

751
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:48,320
the neck of Colpani, creating an opportunity. Charles Zeketalari then provided the assist to

752
01:01:48,320 --> 01:01:54,400
Ederson who managed to score and take advantage of Monza's lackluster reaction.

753
01:01:55,120 --> 01:02:02,480
In the 42nd minute, the goal was a result of a perfectly weighted cross by Ruggieri to Scamacca.

754
01:02:03,600 --> 01:02:11,600
I must say Ruggieri can really whip it up. Scamacca positioned himself expertly outside

755
01:02:11,600 --> 01:02:16,640
inside the penalty area and used his head to get the ball into the back of the net. Pablo

756
01:02:16,640 --> 01:02:22,800
Marri, the Monza defender, was marking Scamacca, but he couldn't do anything about the giant man

757
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:28,160
with the baggy T-shirt. He looks so cool as Scamacca with his scarecrow-like physique and his baggy

758
01:02:28,160 --> 01:02:34,720
Atalanta kick. He's dope. He looks like a really cool praying mantis. That was his first goal.

759
01:02:34,720 --> 01:02:41,360
The start of the second half of Atalanta appeared to look content to let Monza enjoy a more position.

760
01:02:41,360 --> 01:02:46,880
They tried to pick them off on the counter attack and this strategy ultimately led to their final

761
01:02:46,880 --> 01:02:53,120
goal in the 62nd minute. Scamacca positioned himself now outside the penalty area on the edge

762
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:58,000
this time. He received the ball while being on mark. He controlled it and rifled it low and hard

763
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:03,600
into the bottom corner. Gasparini's men had the ball in the back of the net for another

764
01:03:03,600 --> 01:03:09,120
two occasions. One scooped minors and one against Scamacca, but they were ruled offside for a hand

765
01:03:09,120 --> 01:03:14,320
ball and offside respectively. And Muriel had the shot saved at the end and the home had his

766
01:03:14,320 --> 01:03:21,040
header brilliantly saved by Diego Goria at the end. The ex-spezia. So bro, Atalanta blowing Monza out

767
01:03:21,040 --> 01:03:28,000
of the water were you surprised? Yes, to be honest, I think Monza is a tough draw for anyone.

768
01:03:28,000 --> 01:03:36,000
And I think Atalanta coming off a disappointing game against Frosenone, I was expecting it to be a

769
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:41,120
closer affair than it was, but I think Atalanta had a great, great, great game over here. I think

770
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:45,600
individual performances were great all around as well. You look at, for example, Copa Miners

771
01:03:45,600 --> 01:03:48,720
having a good game, Ederson getting himself a goal with Scamacca with two goals,

772
01:03:48,720 --> 01:03:54,080
Cate Alare grabbing himself an assist. Scalvini as always solid at the back, the home playing

773
01:03:54,080 --> 01:04:00,320
the ball around beautifully. I think individually they had a spectacular match and I think this

774
01:04:00,320 --> 01:04:05,200
is the thing about Monza. If they don't get going, they don't get going. You know what I mean? If

775
01:04:05,200 --> 01:04:09,040
they don't put up a fight in the first half, don't expect them to put up a fight in the second half.

776
01:04:09,040 --> 01:04:13,600
That's a very good point. They never really grew into matches, is it? No, no, no. If, like,

777
01:04:14,240 --> 01:04:19,040
God forbid, a team gets an early lead against Monza because Monza are out of the game.

778
01:04:19,040 --> 01:04:23,840
That's true. Where do they stand for you at Atalanta though? They've beaten

779
01:04:23,840 --> 01:04:28,320
Sassuola. Monza quite comfortably and they lost to Frosinjone. They really promoted.

780
01:04:29,200 --> 01:04:33,680
This, remember, this was the first start for Scamacca, the first start for CDK.

781
01:04:33,680 --> 01:04:39,680
Yeah. I think so, for Frosinjone, the way I'm looking at them is like looking at Ajax in that

782
01:04:39,680 --> 01:04:45,920
Champions League where it's like, ah, like it's fine. We're only against them, but then you play

783
01:04:45,920 --> 01:04:51,360
them and they're like, no way, comparing Frosinjone to Ajax. This is the dynamic like.

784
01:04:52,800 --> 01:04:58,880
So I don't want to get carried away with any of my statements because as I said, it's still very

785
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:07,360
early. But I do think that Atalanta will fight for top four. Yes, I think so too. They simply will.

786
01:05:07,920 --> 01:05:12,080
Like they gave this very much a work in progress and now they gave.

787
01:05:12,080 --> 01:05:21,200
They gave Scamacca and the KT Lare their first starts. They have Colasinac starting at Colasinac,

788
01:05:21,200 --> 01:05:28,560
starting at the back as well. So this is all a work in progress. The only thing that is worrying

789
01:05:28,560 --> 01:05:36,560
me now are these Gasperini drama that's going on. He's probably defending him though now.

790
01:05:36,560 --> 01:05:43,120
Yes. Yes. I forgot who it was. A player came. Okay, so let's tell the whole story. Yes. So

791
01:05:44,160 --> 01:05:49,440
who was the first one? Was it not Demiral? Who was the other? I think it was Demiral. No, someone

792
01:05:49,440 --> 01:05:56,880
else. Mele. Mele, yeah. Mele basically said that Atalanta is a prison. Gasperini is a control freak.

793
01:05:58,080 --> 01:06:04,720
That basically we got angry when him and Hoylund drove to training together. He wanted them to

794
01:06:04,720 --> 01:06:09,520
be separate. He wanted everything to be professional. Everything's by his terms. Then Demiral commented

795
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:16,160
on this news and said like to Toa Vero basically everything is true. And then he had the home

796
01:06:16,880 --> 01:06:21,600
joining the national team. And one of the former Atalanta players, Kulusevski,

797
01:06:22,480 --> 01:06:27,520
on the Swedish retreat told him like congrats on Gasperini. So there's been a lot of pressure on

798
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:33,680
Gasperini. And we know he fought with Papu Gomez a few years ago as well. So he's clearly a difficult

799
01:06:33,680 --> 01:06:40,640
person to work with. But let's be real. He fucking knows how to get the best out of his players.

800
01:06:41,440 --> 01:06:47,920
Yes. Fantastic manager. Yes, man. One of the best in the league. I mean, yes, but the nice man,

801
01:06:47,920 --> 01:06:53,120
you know what I mean? I know. But one of the things Mele pointed out, for example, was how they

802
01:06:53,120 --> 01:06:59,120
mostly care about making players, getting players and increasing their wealth. Yeah, sounds fucking

803
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:07,200
good to me. No, no. And I mean, he's the longest serving manager in the league. Yeah. It's just

804
01:07:08,160 --> 01:07:14,640
okay. Yes. But if this system, how far is the system getting him? They haven't won trophies. You

805
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:19,840
know what I mean? So I think with the team they have, and they've had the same manager for that

806
01:07:19,840 --> 01:07:25,280
amount of time. And he's clearly done a good job turning out of nothing to something because

807
01:07:25,280 --> 01:07:29,520
Atalanta were in nothing. They were in nothing. And now they're one of the top teams in Italy.

808
01:07:29,520 --> 01:07:34,720
And they play, they often play in the Champions League, so on and so forth. If you go, but like,

809
01:07:34,720 --> 01:07:40,080
but shouldn't have won a trophy in the spiritual, you have not won a Copa. Maybe yes. But at the

810
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:44,160
end of the day, you look at the minnow side that Atalanta are and you look at the books,

811
01:07:44,160 --> 01:07:49,200
he's exceeding expectations year after year after year. So you can't really ask him for

812
01:07:49,200 --> 01:07:53,840
any more. Well, not in the past two seasons, to be honest. No, okay. But still, when you look at

813
01:07:53,840 --> 01:07:58,480
the size of Atalanta and the wage, you build anywhere in the top, anywhere in a European spot

814
01:07:58,480 --> 01:08:05,120
is good. Not fair enough. If you get the opportunity to work with Gasperini, then I think what you

815
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:10,240
need to do is suck it up. You need to accept him for what he is. And you need to understand that if

816
01:08:10,240 --> 01:08:17,760
you do what he tells you to do, a big team will swoop in for you. And if not, you get to succeed

817
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:22,640
and to play many minutes because he's fair with his minutes, right? It gives everyone an opportunity.

818
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:26,400
And you're playing in the top division, you're potentially fighting for Champions League with

819
01:08:26,400 --> 01:08:30,960
Atalanta. And if you're not content with that, you have the opportunity to be sniped and poached

820
01:08:30,960 --> 01:08:37,200
by a bigger team. So how long do you go in your career if you listen and if you deal with him for

821
01:08:37,200 --> 01:08:44,160
a bit? Yeah, I would agree with you there. I think it would be great experience and playing with Atalanta

822
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:51,120
under that manager. It's essentially like joining one of the best youth systems that there are because

823
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:55,280
the training that that team, I don't know what they do so special, I can't get into that. But

824
01:08:55,280 --> 01:09:00,160
the players just grow so much when they're there. Firstly, they get fucking jacked when they join

825
01:09:00,160 --> 01:09:06,800
Atalanta. They're a steroid's means, no? Yeah. Secondly, there's a certain intelligence and grace

826
01:09:06,800 --> 01:09:11,200
about these players. It seems like every player that joins Atalanta needs to have a certain

827
01:09:11,200 --> 01:09:18,720
fucking level of football IQ. And yeah, I think they should suck it up. And not every manager is

828
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:23,680
going to hold your hand. Some of them are a bit tougher to work with. But naturally, it's the

829
01:09:23,680 --> 01:09:27,600
tougher ones that are going to make you improve more. You know what I mean? And then if he's

830
01:09:27,600 --> 01:09:31,520
attacking their personal lives or something like that, I don't know. But if he's not then.

831
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:37,920
There's just too much. Apparently Papu says he punched him. So we'll see. Take that with a pinch

832
01:09:37,920 --> 01:09:43,520
of salt. Could have easily been the other way around. 18 goals, scoring opportunities created

833
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:47,680
by Atalanta the most of the match day when they want to attack, they can attack. And we remember

834
01:09:47,680 --> 01:09:52,480
the absolute fucking terror they were a few seasons ago. They still have that. Now it's

835
01:09:52,480 --> 01:09:57,920
kamakka firing. They're going to be dangerous, bro. And I like him and Decay Telaara up front.

836
01:09:57,920 --> 01:10:03,600
Two big boys and two very different profiles. Yeah. Mons are really struggling to do anything

837
01:10:03,600 --> 01:10:08,400
without Carlos Agustin. So that's how they find other alternatives to focus on. They're playing

838
01:10:08,400 --> 01:10:12,720
Turia on the left now. Yeah. And Birindelli on the right to try and make up for that loss

839
01:10:12,720 --> 01:10:19,120
down the left. How's that working for you guys? Yeah, not great for an hour. I think

840
01:10:19,120 --> 01:10:23,040
Pesina needs to get more involved. I think I think there are still avenues for them to

841
01:10:23,040 --> 01:10:27,360
succeed. They need to get their shit together. Yeah, they did that offensively because defensively

842
01:10:27,360 --> 01:10:31,440
they're okay until not a lot of really penetrated them and they try to get back in the game. Then

843
01:10:31,440 --> 01:10:35,920
they ran away with it. Yeah. But we saw them, for example, in preseason against Milan, they looked

844
01:10:35,920 --> 01:10:41,440
tight. They looked very tight. They looked very tight. Um, still early. I still wait to see the

845
01:10:41,440 --> 01:10:48,000
best out of Monza. They had a very slow start last year that was expected. Um, let's hope that

846
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:52,640
they don't get off to a similar start this season because now it's not expected. Exactly. You're

847
01:10:52,640 --> 01:11:00,320
up. I'm up. Woo. The next game we're going to be covering is Bologna to Caliari one Bologna's first

848
01:11:00,320 --> 01:11:05,920
win of the season following a loss to Milan and a draw to Juve. Why is Caliari are still yet to win

849
01:11:05,920 --> 01:11:11,200
after some tough opening fixtures where they held Torino and lost to Inter in the last 12

850
01:11:11,200 --> 01:11:16,480
meetings in Serie A between Bologna and Caliari. Each team have won four times and four have been

851
01:11:16,480 --> 01:11:22,080
a draw. However, Bologna are unbeaten in their last 10 home games against Caliari in Serie A

852
01:11:22,080 --> 01:11:29,440
where they won seven and drew 10. Sorry, I drew three, Jesus. Um, Adam Saumauro and new signing

853
01:11:29,440 --> 01:11:36,080
Alexis Salamacers were injured for the hosts with Mousa Barrow, Sosa and Liko John is left behind.

854
01:11:36,080 --> 01:11:42,880
The Sardinians threw Petania straight into the mix as Paavolletti, Lapadoula, Rog, Mancozu, Pereiro

855
01:11:42,880 --> 01:11:48,720
and Capra Dossi were sidelined. So a few injuries over here, some more significant than others.

856
01:11:49,440 --> 01:11:54,240
For Bologna it was a 4-2-3-1 for me, Schuitt-Skorupski in goal and the backline of Christian Sin,

857
01:11:54,240 --> 01:12:00,080
Lukumi, Beukema and Posh, double pivot of Mouro and Abishir with Carl Sin out on the left and

858
01:12:00,080 --> 01:12:05,600
Doya out on the right and Ferguson playing behind Xerix A. On the other hand for Caliari it was a

859
01:12:05,600 --> 01:12:13,600
4-1-3-2 formation with Radunovic in goal and the backline of Zappa, Dosena, Vietesca and Augello.

860
01:12:13,600 --> 01:12:21,120
They had Sulemana in the register role with Nandes, Makumbu and Youngto playing behind

861
01:12:21,120 --> 01:12:26,960
great bro, you don't get the plague behind Petania and Lovumbo. That was tough. I'm not even gonna lie

862
01:12:26,960 --> 01:12:34,240
guys. So for the play by play in the sixth minute Carl Sin is powerful strike from 25 yards out,

863
01:12:34,240 --> 01:12:38,240
hit the outside of the post for what could have been a sensational goal.

864
01:12:38,240 --> 01:12:42,640
He had Radunovic beaten and the ball could have ended up in the top corner very easily.

865
01:12:43,280 --> 01:12:49,680
What a strike. So early on. Bologna they love getting off to these fiery fucking stars.

866
01:12:49,680 --> 01:12:51,280
They like to have it early on.

867
01:12:51,280 --> 01:13:00,160
From distance. I've earned a 22nd minute Lovumbo open the scoring for Caliari. He let Vietesca's

868
01:13:00,160 --> 01:13:05,840
long ball run past him and he absolutely demolished the defender for pace before slotting into the

869
01:13:05,840 --> 01:13:11,280
far corner from a tight angle. In celebration of Caliari's first goal of the season, Nandes managed

870
01:13:11,280 --> 01:13:16,480
to crack the glass barrier. He's either really strong or the Sardinians haven't refurbished their

871
01:13:16,480 --> 01:13:21,280
stadium in decades. I think I know which one it is. Probably a bit of a combination of both.

872
01:13:21,280 --> 01:13:29,680
Nandes would be quite strong. It was a great goal. This to me is a contender for goal of the week.

873
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:33,440
He's a super player Lovumbo. He's the only player that looks like he can actually run on this

874
01:13:33,440 --> 01:13:39,360
Caliari. Literally. On the half hour mark, Radunovic produced two great saves in quick succession.

875
01:13:39,360 --> 01:13:43,360
One where he got down well to deny Carlsen from close range and the other on the follow up where

876
01:13:43,360 --> 01:13:50,800
Zergze shot with great power. In the 59th minute was the Dutchman who got the equalizer.

877
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:56,160
One-one thanks to Zergze. Christensen's first time pass found Zergze at the near post and the

878
01:13:56,160 --> 01:14:01,520
Dutchman did supremely well to finish at the near post with a first time left footed strike.

879
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:06,720
Great finish by Zergze. He's looking like a very complete striker. This is great because I

880
01:14:07,680 --> 01:14:12,720
praised him only last week, the week before. I said that he's a great striker but he doesn't shoot

881
01:14:12,720 --> 01:14:18,480
enough. He really took the opportunity, the half chance he had here to take a shot on and he

882
01:14:18,480 --> 01:14:23,200
fucking finished perfectly. He's happy to see him developing like this. Very well rounded striker.

883
01:14:23,200 --> 01:14:28,960
He's looking good. He's looking really good. In the 75th minute, Orsolini had the goalkeeper

884
01:14:28,960 --> 01:14:35,760
beaten from a penalty but smashed the crossbar foiling his 100% record from the spot. The

885
01:14:35,760 --> 01:14:40,960
penalty was awarded as the parter stopped Christensen's cross with his arm inside the area.

886
01:14:40,960 --> 01:14:46,000
I thought Orsolini would never miss a penalty, bro. But here he is. Too hard to miss. Yeah,

887
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:51,920
but he had the keeper beaten the poor guy but he went for too much power, I believe. Maybe that's

888
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:57,840
just a lesson in life that sometimes you just need to relax now. Yeah, I think Kalljari held on well

889
01:14:57,840 --> 01:15:03,680
and then but in the 89th minute, Bologna got a stroke of luck and Fabian got the winner.

890
01:15:04,480 --> 01:15:10,080
Christensen's strike seemed to be easy pickings for the talented Radunovic who had a great game

891
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:16,160
up until that moment. But the goalkeeper uncharacteristically spilled the ball after

892
01:15:16,160 --> 01:15:21,280
getting both hands behind it. The ball fell to Fabian who needed to get a simple touch to score

893
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:27,520
and score he did. 2-1 for Bologna. It's funny because this is the first game where they were

894
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:32,320
favorites going into it because otherwise they played against Milan and Juve and it turned out

895
01:15:32,320 --> 01:15:37,920
to be a very tough fixture for them. I didn't think they were going to get the win because Kalljari

896
01:15:37,920 --> 01:15:42,880
did well to hang on to that 1-1 and it seemed like they were hanging on well to the 1-0 as well.

897
01:15:44,080 --> 01:15:48,560
But a stroke of luck for Bologna to get their first win of the season,

898
01:15:48,560 --> 01:15:51,920
considering the way they played in the opening three games I think is deserved at the end of the

899
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:58,400
day. Yeah sure, they deserve to win most of the games they've played so far. Especially the one

900
01:15:58,400 --> 01:16:06,560
against Juve last week when they had a clear penalty. So I really like Kalljari's setup. I

901
01:16:06,560 --> 01:16:11,200
really like the fact that they line up with a 4-4-2. They try to disrupt the game. They have a few

902
01:16:11,200 --> 01:16:14,720
sneaky ideas on how to get goals. I think they're fun to watch. Are they good enough to stay up?

903
01:16:14,720 --> 01:16:19,200
I'm not sure yet but I really enjoy watching them play and Petani and Lovumbo up front is just

904
01:16:19,760 --> 01:16:26,160
a dream for me to watch because you've got the wallers in the box and the fucking speedy Gonzalez.

905
01:16:26,160 --> 01:16:29,920
Yeah he's so fucking quick Lovumbo and he's so technically good.

906
01:16:29,920 --> 01:16:35,840
Bro just called Petani a waller. But in the best way possible a human isn't going to outmuscle a

907
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:42,560
waller. That's what I'm saying right? They've got a good header on them as well. No is that a

908
01:16:42,560 --> 01:16:49,680
seal seal? Some good headers. Not sure what the difference is now. This Fabian guy who scored the

909
01:16:49,680 --> 01:16:57,360
winner bro. He is an inter-youth product who was out on loan at Egrina last season when he played

910
01:16:57,360 --> 01:17:05,200
36 games and scored 80 goals in Segebe. So he's a confident kid, 6 foot 1. He can score plays in

911
01:17:05,200 --> 01:17:10,000
midfield offensive player and I didn't think that his first goal would come on his first appearance.

912
01:17:10,000 --> 01:17:16,080
This is a few minutes after coming on. He was gifted sure but that can blow him up. He's

913
01:17:16,080 --> 01:17:22,560
been in the headlines. His name outpins walking in the street. He might burst onto the scene right

914
01:17:22,560 --> 01:17:31,360
here. Like Michael Richards. I agreed. I think take nothing away from his instinctiveness of the

915
01:17:31,360 --> 01:17:37,120
goal. Like I know Radonovic literally jumped the ball. But it was crowded. He could have picked it

916
01:17:37,120 --> 01:17:42,400
back up or somebody could have cleared it but he had his leg out instantly. He smelled blood over

917
01:17:42,400 --> 01:17:48,400
there. Must have been so frustrating for Radonovic right now. He had such a good game as well man.

918
01:17:50,240 --> 01:17:57,280
He didn't even drop it. He lost grip of it. He had both hands behind the ball and everything

919
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:03,360
had pretty much caught it. Similar to kind of like Dida's error against Celtic was it?

920
01:18:03,360 --> 01:18:15,600
Yes. Similar to that. We spoke about Cerexia already so I won't get into that too much.

921
01:18:16,720 --> 01:18:25,280
Lovumbo I want to highlight and this front two for Kalyari is looking to be can be quite dangerous.

922
01:18:25,280 --> 01:18:29,840
If you look at both player profiles Petania like you said the wall is in the box can really hold

923
01:18:29,840 --> 01:18:34,800
up play well and just having Lovumbo who can run in behind him is going to be a headache for a lot

924
01:18:34,800 --> 01:18:41,280
of teams. I think once Kalyari increased the fluidity of their play that that that can be

925
01:18:41,280 --> 01:18:47,360
a very dangerous duo up front. But for the time being I'm a bit disappointed with Kalyari. I'm

926
01:18:47,360 --> 01:18:54,400
not going to lie for the time being as much as I enjoy watching them. You think that with a manager

927
01:18:54,400 --> 01:19:02,240
like the thinker man himself they could have gotten a slightly better start. So who have they had so

928
01:19:02,240 --> 01:19:10,560
far? Who have they had? They held Torino to 1-0 draw. That's a good result. That's a that's a decent

929
01:19:10,560 --> 01:19:18,400
result and then they got trashed to Inter was it? I believe so. Yes they got beaten by Inter. Yes

930
01:19:18,400 --> 01:19:26,080
they got beaten by Inter and now they lost out. Now they lost to Bologna. It's a tough start and

931
01:19:26,080 --> 01:19:30,960
they got to point out of it. I mean but I don't know I just feel like the football they're playing.

932
01:19:31,920 --> 01:19:36,000
This is the football they're gonna play. Yeah they're hustlers in that sense.

933
01:19:36,000 --> 01:19:40,800
Kattenaccio. Yeah you know what I mean. But then they have said that that's why I'm saying they need

934
01:19:40,800 --> 01:19:44,560
to be more fluid in order to feed this front two because once they get the ball to that front two

935
01:19:44,560 --> 01:19:49,360
they can be quite dangerous. Even with Nandes and behind them and Youngtoff for example these are all

936
01:19:49,360 --> 01:19:54,160
good players. But just I'm seeing them playing quite negative football which is probably the way a

937
01:19:54,160 --> 01:19:59,280
newly promoted team would tend to set up against these higher ranked teams in Serie A so you don't

938
01:19:59,280 --> 01:20:04,080
blame them. Excited to see Kalyari against some opponents that are on par with them say at least.

939
01:20:04,880 --> 01:20:10,880
And this was Petania's first game for them. I think he pretty much did what we expect Petania to do.

940
01:20:10,880 --> 01:20:18,240
Can he get more services the question like we just spoke about pretty much. I think it was a good idea

941
01:20:18,240 --> 01:20:22,160
for them to bring in another striker apart from Pavoletti because Pavoletti is particularly good

942
01:20:22,160 --> 01:20:27,120
coming on right. Yeah Petania is meant to bring you a cool head. He has been the center of many

943
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:31,840
projects. The Spal one for example he had the whole team working to feed him. Yeah you know you

944
01:20:31,840 --> 01:20:37,760
feed Petania he's definitely gonna eat. So just give him the ball as much as you can get him going.

945
01:20:37,760 --> 01:20:43,280
He can be a machine now. Yeah we'll see. I like this Kalyari team though. No I like the team but

946
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:47,680
good players as well. I like the team and that's why I'm a bit disappointed in how they've started

947
01:20:47,680 --> 01:20:51,440
off. It's just the manner in which they're playing and the style of football you're playing isn't

948
01:20:51,440 --> 01:20:56,240
typically one that appeals to me so much the Katanaccio style and stuff but you do what you

949
01:20:56,240 --> 01:21:01,360
have to do at the end of the day man. And at the end of the day they almost managed to get another

950
01:21:01,360 --> 01:21:08,560
point in a roster of the first three matches that are very tough and like that they would have gotten

951
01:21:08,560 --> 01:21:13,840
a point against Torino and a point against Bologna but Bologna stroke of luck and they managed to

952
01:21:13,840 --> 01:21:17,520
get away with their first three points when you see how they played in the first three matches.

953
01:21:17,520 --> 01:21:25,200
Definitely deserved but over to your game bro. Sasvolo three, Helas Verona one. So basically

954
01:21:25,200 --> 01:21:30,880
Barardi returns to Sasvolo starting 11 and as always he steals the show. Helas had no answers

955
01:21:30,880 --> 01:21:38,720
for him and he just shows his professionalism this guy constantly over and over again. I granted

956
01:21:38,720 --> 01:21:43,120
yes he was trying to force his way out he wasn't starting 11 in the first two games but here he

957
01:21:43,120 --> 01:21:47,200
is all right he didn't sell me boom I'm gonna score two goals and win you again. Exactly. He's

958
01:21:47,200 --> 01:21:54,000
not spiteful he's a professional and he hates losing above anything else. So for Alessio Dionisi's

959
01:21:54,000 --> 01:22:00,240
Sasvolo it was a 4-3-3 as always with Concili in goal Vigna out on the left Antolio and out on the

960
01:22:00,240 --> 01:22:07,520
right with Tresol the underlitch at the back. Henrique, Bologna and Thordesvet were in the middle

961
01:22:07,520 --> 01:22:13,040
with Lauriente out on the left Barardi out on the right and Pinamonti up front. For Verona it was a

962
01:22:13,040 --> 01:22:18,880
3-4-1-2 formation with Montipo and Goul, Maniani, Coppola and Davidovic at the back. Faroni was out

963
01:22:18,880 --> 01:22:25,360
on the right while Doi was out on the left with Duda and Hongla in the middle. Folo Runcho was in

964
01:22:25,360 --> 01:22:31,120
the track-whattista position with Ingonj and Inboula playing ahead of him.

965
01:22:32,880 --> 01:22:40,880
Now in the 11th minute Sasvolo capitalized on a moment of defensive disorganization by Verona.

966
01:22:40,880 --> 01:22:45,600
Verona failed to clear their defensive lines, Sasvolo regained possession, they capitalized on

967
01:22:45,600 --> 01:22:50,720
the opportunity. Tolján whipped in the ball in the box and Andrea Pinamonti who was left on marked

968
01:22:50,720 --> 01:22:56,080
easily headed the ball into the net to give Sasvolo a 1-0 lead. This goal marked Sasvolo's first

969
01:22:56,080 --> 01:23:03,200
goal of the season, Coppola and Maniani were daydreaming over there. Pinamonti to be honest,

970
01:23:03,200 --> 01:23:07,920
had he been on his toes, not flat footed, he could have scored earlier before this opportunity

971
01:23:07,920 --> 01:23:12,320
because the ball came to him and he didn't react in time. So again he needs to be more of a fox

972
01:23:12,320 --> 01:23:18,720
in the box, he needs to be more alert maybe. In the 56th minute Verona managed to equalize

973
01:23:18,720 --> 01:23:26,000
against Eranoff, play a speculative cross by Serial Ingonj into the 6 yard box, took an unexpected

974
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:35,520
trajectory and caught everyone by surprise and ended up in the back of the net. After Verona's

975
01:23:35,520 --> 01:23:40,800
equalizers Sasvolo regained the league thanks to a fantastic display by Baradi scored by beating

976
01:23:40,800 --> 01:23:44,800
Coppola and deflecting the ball into the net. This made the 2-1 for Sasvolo shortly after that

977
01:23:44,800 --> 01:23:49,360
he was fouled on the box by Doig here and the penalty himself, he took it himself, converted

978
01:23:49,360 --> 01:23:55,520
it and he ran up to the 40 Sasvolo supporters and extended his arms to show like your god is

979
01:23:56,400 --> 01:24:02,800
bro. It's growing. It's growing. They had many more fans in the stadium, young people in

980
01:24:02,800 --> 01:24:09,440
Sasvolo, that's what I love to see man. It's nice because we've often spoken about this problem

981
01:24:09,440 --> 01:24:17,680
and Sasvolo's fans are non-existent because the stadium is far from the city, the fans have already

982
01:24:17,680 --> 01:24:22,960
chosen clubs and have been supporting these clubs since they were children. Sasvolo are quite a new

983
01:24:22,960 --> 01:24:29,040
team so nice to see that their following is growing. You know what Sasvolo need? A good social media

984
01:24:29,040 --> 01:24:37,200
manager that can further target young people, be a cool football brand for young people and hopefully

985
01:24:37,200 --> 01:24:41,280
try to get them young and try to increase the amount of supporters they get on a year-to-year

986
01:24:41,280 --> 01:24:47,200
basis because there's not going to be any convincing a 50 year old who's been supporting Bologna

987
01:24:47,200 --> 01:24:51,360
his entire life, no start supporting. But you know they're around to you when they were first

988
01:24:51,360 --> 01:24:58,640
promoted. I thought people would fall in love with you. I think Helos Verona this game really felt

989
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:03,760
the loss of Hien who got a red card against Roma. He's the defensive leader and I felt like they

990
01:25:03,760 --> 01:25:13,600
stuck a lot over there. Verona are quite similar to Sasvolo in the sense that they've always struggled

991
01:25:13,600 --> 01:25:20,080
at the back as well and we've never seen them invest in the back. Hien was a good addition

992
01:25:20,080 --> 01:25:25,280
but you see what happens the second they lose him and they look disorganised in this game.

993
01:25:25,280 --> 01:25:31,760
I think Sasvolo did a good job of playing an offensive brand of football in this game. I'm

994
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:37,520
putting a lot of pressure on Verona. They didn't give Verona time to build the ball from the back

995
01:25:37,520 --> 01:25:44,400
or do any of the Verona things but they suffocated them and as a result they managed to get a 3-1

996
01:25:44,400 --> 01:25:49,360
victory. Barardi obviously had a lot to do with that because he is the player that's constantly

997
01:25:49,360 --> 01:25:55,120
up until the 19th minute pressing and fucking doing this and that and getting all the goals

998
01:25:55,120 --> 01:26:01,360
and I think Sasvolo deserved the victory by the end of it. Absolutely. So we've got a few teams

999
01:26:01,360 --> 01:26:05,840
who are a bit more reliant on certain players than others. Let's say you have for example

1000
01:26:05,840 --> 01:26:12,800
Luzan Ezen, Samoan Ziccio, Salah Netana and Dia for example. Of course. For Sasvolo it's Barardi

1001
01:26:12,800 --> 01:26:16,880
all the way. Now Sasvolo have good players all around. Laurent is a very good player but when

1002
01:26:16,880 --> 01:26:21,680
Barardi is there it's different. He runs the show and everyone accepts it. Season after season

1003
01:26:21,680 --> 01:26:27,440
after season after season. He's just one of the best right-wingers in the league every season.

1004
01:26:27,440 --> 01:26:32,800
Yes. This year he's got some competition otherwise he has been for the past five years.

1005
01:26:32,800 --> 01:26:38,880
Absolutely. When do you think, Kranjo will play this season?

1006
01:26:40,560 --> 01:26:49,280
I think he will at some point but I think he will because Constille isn't showing

1007
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:52,880
like clearly he's aged and he's not as good as he used to be.

1008
01:26:52,880 --> 01:26:59,200
He was a cross-sinterdict. Yeah. But what about Kranjo? Is Kranjo still at the level he was at

1009
01:26:59,200 --> 01:27:04,800
when he was in Caliari? How is he physically? Exactly. Last season we saw him play one game.

1010
01:27:04,800 --> 01:27:10,160
Now I know that's not a great case study of where he's at now. But hey man, he would have been benched

1011
01:27:10,160 --> 01:27:14,320
by DeGregorio for a reason. He would have been benched by Constille right now for a reason.

1012
01:27:14,320 --> 01:27:19,920
So I don't know where Kranjo is when it comes to his ability. So that's why I'm unsure because I

1013
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:24,480
think Constille you should be replaced at some point. I hope we see him soon. Kranjo is fantastic.

1014
01:27:24,480 --> 01:27:30,320
Yeah, agreed. Yeah. So pretty comfortable for Saswolo overall playing Helas Vrana out of the

1015
01:27:30,320 --> 01:27:34,880
water over here. Helas Vrana had their opportunities, they had their moments but they couldn't quite deal

1016
01:27:35,520 --> 01:27:41,040
with Saswolo. And that's it. The next game we're going to be covering is Torino 1,

1017
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:46,880
Genoa nil. So this is Torino's first win of the season following a goal is draw to Caliari

1018
01:27:46,880 --> 01:27:52,960
and a thrashing in Milan. West Genoa were coming off a 1-0 away victory against Lazio,

1019
01:27:52,960 --> 01:27:58,880
following an open day defeat to Fiorentina. Genoa won their last meeting against Torino

1020
01:27:58,880 --> 01:28:06,320
in Serie A on the 18th of March 2022. 1-0 where Manolo Portanova scored after a streak of nine

1021
01:28:06,320 --> 01:28:11,200
games in which the Granata had remained unbeaten against the Griffone where they won 7.

1022
01:28:11,200 --> 01:28:17,920
And drew 2. Torino lost Antonio Sanabria and coffee Gigi to injury so deadline

1023
01:28:17,920 --> 01:28:24,720
day signing Duván Zapata made his debut from the start. Junior Messias, Haps and Voliaccio

1024
01:28:24,720 --> 01:28:32,560
were out for Genoa who were fresh off of a 1-0 away victory to Lazio. Now for Torino it was a 3-4

1025
01:28:32,560 --> 01:28:37,600
to 1 formation with Vania Angola on the back line of Ricardo Rodríguez, Bonjorno and Schuirs.

1026
01:28:37,600 --> 01:28:41,680
They had voivode out on the left with Bellanova out on the right and a double pivot of Linetti

1027
01:28:41,680 --> 01:28:48,000
and Tamez. Vlasic Hendrikci started behind, new signing Zapata. Genoa started in a 4-3

1028
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:53,200
to 1 formation with Martinez in goal and a back line of Sabelli, Bani, Dragousin and Vasquez.

1029
01:28:53,200 --> 01:28:57,280
They had Strutman, Badelge and Frenjup in the middle with Malinovsky and Goodman

1030
01:28:57,280 --> 01:29:01,920
sin playing behind Retegui. That's looking more like a team over there slowly.

1031
01:29:01,920 --> 01:29:09,520
So in my opinion Torino should have been awarded a penalty in the 25th minute after Martinez

1032
01:29:09,520 --> 01:29:13,840
dangerously came out to collect the ball, kneeing Zapata on the upper back in the process,

1033
01:29:13,840 --> 01:29:18,320
causing the Colombian some pain. The contact was made before the ball was collected yet they

1034
01:29:18,320 --> 01:29:23,520
didn't even seem to be any debate regarding this decision. I didn't even notice any var checks or

1035
01:29:23,520 --> 01:29:29,040
any complaints made to the referee but to me that's a penalty. The ball was up in the air,

1036
01:29:29,040 --> 01:29:35,680
the keeper rose with his knee out, banged Zapata on the back. Got the ball. I found it quite weird.

1037
01:29:36,800 --> 01:29:46,320
It was quite a KGFA throughout this entire game. Genoa were impossible to penetrate and it didn't

1038
01:29:46,320 --> 01:29:52,960
seem like Torino had any answers. However, in the 94th minute there was a crossfield ball

1039
01:29:52,960 --> 01:29:59,120
by Ilic that found his fellow countryman in Radonjić who was not necessarily in a dangerous

1040
01:29:59,120 --> 01:30:05,040
position, he was out wide. Then he just made this quick work of hefty taking the ball to the

1041
01:30:05,040 --> 01:30:11,120
byline and he just cuts the ball into the roof of the net from an incredibly tight angle.

1042
01:30:13,440 --> 01:30:19,120
The way I describe this goal to people is have you ever had a pissed off friend at a fiver side

1043
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:26,240
who was good at football? That's the kind of goal that they score. It's like none of you guys can

1044
01:30:26,240 --> 01:30:31,840
do it, leave it up to me. He just quickly dribbles the defender. The ball was from such a tight

1045
01:30:31,840 --> 01:30:36,960
angle and he just hoofs it into the roof of the net. Nothing Martinez could have done about it,

1046
01:30:36,960 --> 01:30:42,240
nothing anyone could have done about it. But he's a donkey. I forgot. His manager thinks he's a donkey.

1047
01:30:42,240 --> 01:30:49,520
So he got a dude. It was an absolute fuck it moment. Yeah, fuck it. I'm him. I'm going to win it for

1048
01:30:49,520 --> 01:30:55,760
us. And it's so sad to see because you can't tell hefty when he was brought on. Like a bit tight.

1049
01:30:55,760 --> 01:31:01,280
Don't let them skip you. Play it safe. Don't get dribbled. You have three minutes. I'm bringing

1050
01:31:01,280 --> 01:31:07,280
you on for three. It's 87th minute. Don't let anyone do you. Hefty comes on with his fake blonde hair

1051
01:31:07,280 --> 01:31:13,360
and his preppy appearance overall. You know, only the head fucking absolutely marked six minutes

1052
01:31:13,360 --> 01:31:20,960
later. Yeah, man. Poor guy. I mean, there's nothing he could have done about it. I mean,

1053
01:31:20,960 --> 01:31:27,040
maybe if he didn't press Radonjić too hard over there and he allowed him a little bit of space

1054
01:31:27,040 --> 01:31:30,480
so he could judge where he's going better because I think he put pressure on him instantly, which

1055
01:31:30,480 --> 01:31:37,360
is why Radonjić was capable of doing him so quickly. So I have to you have to feel bad for him, but

1056
01:31:37,360 --> 01:31:42,560
like world class stuff by Radonjić over there. Obviously, isn't a world class player, but that

1057
01:31:42,560 --> 01:31:48,640
was a world class goal. Genoa gave Torino a very tough time. They even had seven shots, two of

1058
01:31:48,640 --> 01:31:54,560
which were on target. And I felt like when they did get to the final third, they moved the ball

1059
01:31:54,560 --> 01:32:00,880
well over there and they had a few moments straight. They had certain moves that were straight

1060
01:32:00,880 --> 01:32:05,920
out of the training ground. However, they always at the moment, they're just lacking that final

1061
01:32:05,920 --> 01:32:11,680
decision making, which is essential in top flight football. But this is a step in the right direction.

1062
01:32:11,680 --> 01:32:16,720
They'd be hard broken with the late goal. As they didn't give Torino too many chances,

1063
01:32:16,720 --> 01:32:21,680
aside from a pelé gris header, aside from that, and Torino were capable of turning it around.

1064
01:32:21,680 --> 01:32:28,800
But Genoa almost did it, man. Yeah, they almost did. Every week, I'm more impressed by Albert

1065
01:32:28,800 --> 01:32:33,840
Goodman. They rounded the keeper. They granted him a score in the end and he was offside the

1066
01:32:33,840 --> 01:32:40,080
entire time anyway. But he looks like quite a nifty player there. And I can't wait for Malinovsky

1067
01:32:40,080 --> 01:32:43,760
to get going because that attacking Trident is going to be very interesting. They're midheels

1068
01:32:43,760 --> 01:32:49,200
kind of agent, but they showed today that they can just get the job done. They can contain and

1069
01:32:49,200 --> 01:32:53,920
they can burst and they can attack you. Yeah, that's the thing that I like about them.

1070
01:32:55,120 --> 01:33:00,320
I would like to see some more personality come through from them because they have the players

1071
01:33:00,320 --> 01:33:05,600
to have quite an attacking brand of football. I do want to see Retegey getting more opportunities

1072
01:33:05,600 --> 01:33:10,160
to put his name on the score sheet, for example. I do want to see Malinovsky start getting into

1073
01:33:11,600 --> 01:33:16,320
shooting opportunities from outside the area. But this is again something we will see in time.

1074
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:21,680
They're short-promising things. Yeah, Angelo Adino has shown many times that he is willing to

1075
01:33:21,680 --> 01:33:26,080
adapt to his opponent. So I think these aren't things that he's going to be opposed to. I think

1076
01:33:26,080 --> 01:33:30,160
we're going to see many different setups at Genoa and I think eventually it will click. They will

1077
01:33:30,160 --> 01:33:35,280
find something. I think so, man. I think so. Yeah. I think it's time for your last game, bro.

1078
01:33:35,280 --> 01:33:45,280
Oh, yes. My last game is Lecce to Salernitana. Lecce were just two street smart for Salernitana

1079
01:33:45,280 --> 01:33:51,200
who were missing Boulayedia to some last-minute transfer drama as the team from Salento beat

1080
01:33:51,200 --> 01:33:59,200
the team from Salerno to Nel. Yeah, Boulayedia, bro. What's going on there? Apparently, it's

1081
01:33:59,200 --> 01:34:05,200
attitude as well. Yeah, Wolves came in on the last day of the transfer market and tried to deal with

1082
01:34:05,200 --> 01:34:12,640
Dio. Salernitana were not too happy with this and the president desanches or you see the…

1083
01:34:12,640 --> 01:34:17,840
I believe so. Yeah. Because the team went, Wolves went straight to the pair and not to Salernitana,

1084
01:34:17,840 --> 01:34:24,160
which is disrespectful. Disrespectful offer. He called for a press conference this guy.

1085
01:34:24,800 --> 01:34:31,440
Nothing against the club. Wolves. Nothing against an important historic club,

1086
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:38,320
Wolves or Hampton. And then he said basically… What the fuck? Disrespectful. We will never

1087
01:34:38,320 --> 01:34:42,960
forget. So it sounded a bit like a threat as well. Jesus Christ. So funny that he called the press

1088
01:34:42,960 --> 01:34:49,440
conference to say that we won't forget this. Lecce have won nine of their 19 matches played

1089
01:34:49,440 --> 01:34:56,000
against Salernitana and Serie A and Serie B. So they beat them often. Now let's go. Lecce's

1090
01:34:56,000 --> 01:35:00,880
formation. Four three three as always. We've got Falco on end goal. We've got Gallo as the left

1091
01:35:00,880 --> 01:35:06,720
back and Gendry as the right back with Basque Rotto and Pongrati as the back. Raffia, Ramadani

1092
01:35:06,720 --> 01:35:11,600
and Kaba were in the middle with Band out on the left, Amgvist out on the right and

1093
01:35:11,600 --> 01:35:18,560
Christovic up front. Jesu Christovic. For Salernitana it was a three four two one

1094
01:35:18,560 --> 01:35:24,000
formation with Ochoa and goal. Lovato, Giomber and Pirala at the back with Cabral out on the right.

1095
01:35:24,000 --> 01:35:30,640
Brotheric out on the left, Kulibali and Legovsky in the middle. Castagnos and Kandreva were playing

1096
01:35:30,640 --> 01:35:37,760
behind Botheim up front. It's like someone invented a name for a Polish football over here. Legovsky.

1097
01:35:37,760 --> 01:35:48,480
Legovsky. There we go. Legovsky. Botheim is not quite a striker you see. No, I don't understand it.

1098
01:35:51,280 --> 01:35:58,160
Please Stuart man. Hey, like you brought him in. Oh play the other one. There's Ikumuezi.

1099
01:35:58,160 --> 01:36:05,040
He looked pretty good up front. I don't know man but Botheim doesn't quite cut it. No, no, no.

1100
01:36:05,040 --> 01:36:08,560
I don't like him as a striker at all. Yeah, same. Like I really don't see it.

1101
01:36:09,200 --> 01:36:13,520
But you know who does look like a striker? The man who scored in the sixth minute, Nikola

1102
01:36:13,520 --> 01:36:19,360
Christovic. What a poacher. He's new, he's young, he's Montenegrin. He scored like 20 goals. He was

1103
01:36:19,360 --> 01:36:23,840
the top scorer in his division last year where he was playing. I think it was in Ukraine I'm not sure.

1104
01:36:23,840 --> 01:36:31,440
He scored up one entry against Fiorentina. He scored on international duty just yesterday

1105
01:36:31,440 --> 01:36:36,800
and now he scored again. Well, he scored before technically but whatever. He got onto the cross

1106
01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:43,600
which was whipped in by a genre and headed it perfectly in between two centre backs.

1107
01:36:43,600 --> 01:36:50,320
Great other. Into like an unsavable area. He beat Ochoa there and Ochoa is a great goalkeeper.

1108
01:36:50,320 --> 01:36:55,360
If he could remain injury free, this guy can be good man. Yeah, super promising striker over here.

1109
01:36:55,360 --> 01:36:59,920
Purely instinctive, very exciting talent and you can see when he was being subbed off.

1110
01:37:00,560 --> 01:37:06,160
The Lecce fans were looking at each other saying like a bravo, a bravo. And apparently Vucinic

1111
01:37:06,160 --> 01:37:13,280
who came up through the ranks at Lecce has been texting him as well and has hailed him to be a

1112
01:37:13,280 --> 01:37:18,800
very exciting talent. It was underrated for so long that guy until he joined you.

1113
01:37:18,800 --> 01:37:23,120
And Roma. Yeah, but I feel like he was a bit underrated at Roma.

1114
01:37:23,760 --> 01:37:28,400
In the 97th minute of Lecce, I never actually managed to penetrate Lecce.

1115
01:37:28,400 --> 01:37:32,720
No. And in the 97th minute there was a penalty. It was given after Cabral

1116
01:37:33,440 --> 01:37:38,080
intercepted a long range shot from Dorgou with his hand in the penalty area. Strefetza

1117
01:37:38,080 --> 01:37:43,680
confidently stepped up and placed the ball into the net from the penalty spot sending Ochoa the

1118
01:37:43,680 --> 01:37:49,680
wrong way. He was out of the starting 11. Very interesting. Strefetza to play.

1119
01:37:50,400 --> 01:37:56,000
Christovic. Christovic banda Ankvist up front. I think they like having Strefetza coming into

1120
01:37:56,000 --> 01:38:01,280
games. He's a very good impact sub. As a creative spark, you know, you might need to change the

1121
01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:07,840
game. Yeah, yeah, I think so. As a starter, he could get figured out because naturally he's a

1122
01:38:07,840 --> 01:38:13,840
smaller player. If you look at, for example, best two examples I could give is he's kind of similar

1123
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:21,840
to Suso and kind of similar to Insignia in that sense, size, technique and all of that. And those

1124
01:38:21,840 --> 01:38:26,560
players can't then to get figured out because there's one thing that they can't do, which is

1125
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:32,560
cut inside and use their favorite foot. So starting with Ankvist, banda and having Christovic up front

1126
01:38:32,560 --> 01:38:37,360
is great. And then getting him on later on when his legs are energetic should allow him to do what

1127
01:38:37,360 --> 01:38:42,800
he does more successfully than I think it's a good setup. Yeah, I think banda and Ankvist are

1128
01:38:42,800 --> 01:38:48,720
too energetic to bench. Yeah, they're great options to start the game with. Banda, this game, I feel

1129
01:38:48,720 --> 01:38:53,200
I should have been sent off. It was clear. Clear second. Tomori was sent off them. Banda should

1130
01:38:53,200 --> 01:38:57,120
have definitely been sent off over there. He was so frustrated. They kept picking on him.

1131
01:38:58,240 --> 01:39:04,080
He's an easy target. He's five foot three defenders really like to rattle. And it's super

1132
01:39:04,080 --> 01:39:10,000
tricky as well. You know, like five foot three and playing against a great defender like these

1133
01:39:10,000 --> 01:39:15,440
guys, you know, you've got Lovato, Giomba and Pirrola defending against you. And I think it was

1134
01:39:15,440 --> 01:39:21,200
something to that effect that they basically made fun of his height. And he looked to get

1135
01:39:21,200 --> 01:39:25,280
pissed off. It was so rattled like there was a point where I think the referee sympathized with

1136
01:39:25,280 --> 01:39:29,440
him because he had a clear view of the foul. And he was already on a yellow and he kicked

1137
01:39:29,440 --> 01:39:34,080
a man. He missed the ball completely and clipped the leg, but the referee showed a human side and

1138
01:39:34,080 --> 01:39:41,840
didn't send him off. He was substituted shortly after the referee was Massimi. Yeah. Do you

1139
01:39:41,840 --> 01:39:46,160
do you appreciate that? But from the referee or do you deem it to be, you know, if it's a red,

1140
01:39:46,160 --> 01:39:51,360
it's a red fuck your feelings. Red fuck your feelings. Yeah, I'm not gonna be honest because

1141
01:39:51,360 --> 01:39:56,480
let's say Tej Hernandez was getting beaten up all game and he kicks someone out of frustration.

1142
01:39:56,480 --> 01:40:03,120
Red cards. He's getting red. But because he's five foot three and is cute, then he gets away with it.

1143
01:40:03,840 --> 01:40:10,400
You kick someone maliciously and it's a red card. I think his band does well. The type of person

1144
01:40:10,400 --> 01:40:15,760
he has. He has very positive energy. You see him. He's always joking and smiling. So probably,

1145
01:40:15,760 --> 01:40:20,640
you know, he must have like, the referee must have realized that. It's quite unlike. But yeah,

1146
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:26,080
I guess. Yeah. Good move by the, by the manager though, to replace him. Yeah, absolutely. I want

1147
01:40:26,080 --> 01:40:32,080
to hail once again, Letcher's organization over here. They look like they've got it figured out.

1148
01:40:32,080 --> 01:40:36,480
Every time they play a newcomer or a smaller team than them or a team that's meant to be on par with

1149
01:40:36,480 --> 01:40:41,840
them, they always show that they've got more organization. Yeah. And they're looking good,

1150
01:40:41,840 --> 01:40:47,600
man. Letcher. I mean, I'm not gonna say they're high up the table. They're in fourth place on

1151
01:40:47,600 --> 01:40:53,920
seven points to behind league leaders and Milan like, um, but what a start. What is it? They

1152
01:40:53,920 --> 01:40:59,040
didn't have a super. They didn't have an easy start either. Letcher and they're doing great. I mean,

1153
01:40:59,040 --> 01:41:03,440
they beat Lazio for fuck's sakes. You know what I mean? They're doing a great job.

1154
01:41:03,440 --> 01:41:07,680
They are. They're super and they're fun to watch and they're like a team full of superheroes. You

1155
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:14,160
know, you've got honestly the most caricature where the team you've got. Buscarotta, who's

1156
01:41:14,160 --> 01:41:19,280
ridiculously big. Banda, who's ridiculously small. You know, you can make like the Avengers out of

1157
01:41:19,280 --> 01:41:25,600
there. It'll be super cool. Gallo's like perfectly human. You know what I mean? It's the most normal,

1158
01:41:26,480 --> 01:41:33,200
like, the un-spectacular player ever, but he gets the job done. His name is the Falcon.

1159
01:41:33,200 --> 01:41:38,320
Falcon. They're a cool team, man. They are a cool team. They really are. But anyway, that's it,

1160
01:41:38,320 --> 01:41:48,320
basically. The best nil nil, the best Italian, all Italian nil nil since the 2003 Champions League

1161
01:41:48,320 --> 01:41:54,240
final between Milan and Juve. I've been waiting for this bro. Bro, are you ready? Let's go.

1162
01:41:54,240 --> 01:42:01,840
Udinese nil, Frosinone nil. So Udinese racked up their second point of the season following

1163
01:42:01,840 --> 01:42:07,760
a draw to Salernetana on matchday two and a loss to Juve on matchday one. Frosinone on the other

1164
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:13,760
hand are now on four points this season in a tough start with a loss to Napoli, defeated Atalanta

1165
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:21,040
and now got away with a point against Udinese. The three Ulanes were still decimated by injuries to

1166
01:42:21,040 --> 01:42:28,400
Pafundi, De La Feo, Ezebue, Ebb Bosse, Brenner and Mazina, but Samarzic was solidly back into the

1167
01:42:28,400 --> 01:42:33,040
squad for the first time since his failed transfer to Inter. The Canarene made numerous

1168
01:42:33,040 --> 01:42:38,720
signings on deadline day and caused an upset with last week's win over Atalanta, welcoming

1169
01:42:38,720 --> 01:42:45,920
back goalkeeper Stefano Torati from his ban. Now, the lineups, it was a 3-5-2 formation for Udinese,

1170
01:42:45,920 --> 01:42:51,200
Sylvesterie and Goldback, line of Cabacele, Bezol and New Impares. They had Camarra out on the

1171
01:42:51,200 --> 01:42:56,720
left, Ferreira out on the right, Midfieldtree of Lovrich, Wallis and Samarzic, Thuvan and Luka

1172
01:42:56,720 --> 01:43:02,080
up front. You've got pace, you've got size, you've got a team. For Frosinone, for 2-3-1

1173
01:43:02,080 --> 01:43:06,880
formation, Torati and Goldback, line of Oyonom, Monterese, Romaniole and Marquitza,

1174
01:43:06,880 --> 01:43:10,880
Mazzatelli and Berre and Chea as the Midfieldtree with Sole out on the right,

1175
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:14,800
Gelli out on the left and Harui playing behind Kedira, we've got a team.

1176
01:43:16,400 --> 01:43:23,600
We start things off. Fourth minute, boom, Sole hits the post after Harui's unintentional crossshot

1177
01:43:23,600 --> 01:43:29,600
bubbled to the far post, but the angle was far too tight for Sole to get the shot on target

1178
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:34,960
and he only managed to hit the post, so off to a quick start over here. 13th minute,

1179
01:43:34,960 --> 01:43:40,400
Torati denied Thuvan's volley at the far post, very, very well, great save by Torati,

1180
01:43:41,040 --> 01:43:46,560
who was suspended in the last game because he was the blasphemous term, that's all we know about it.

1181
01:43:46,560 --> 01:43:50,800
So that's already two chances in the fourth minute and 13th minute, boom, 17th minute.

1182
01:43:51,360 --> 01:43:56,400
Gelli brought down by Ferreira in the penalty area and the penalty was awarded.

1183
01:43:56,960 --> 01:44:02,000
VAR review found that Mazzatelli was in an offside position in the build up to this,

1184
01:44:02,000 --> 01:44:07,520
so the penalty was cancelled. That's the first half. At the start of the second half,

1185
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:12,880
Derefri Guida awarded another penalty, this time to Odinesa, for what he deemed to be a foul on

1186
01:44:12,880 --> 01:44:19,280
Luka by Monterizzi. However, following a VAR check, it was evident that Luka was the one that

1187
01:44:19,280 --> 01:44:22,720
initially brought the defender down to the ground and lost his footing in the process.

1188
01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:29,120
In the 50th minute, Frosinone's new signing Romaniole put the ball into the back of his own net

1189
01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:35,360
as he slid in following a Tuvan cross. Once again, a VAR check took place and came to the

1190
01:44:35,360 --> 01:44:41,040
conclusion that the ball was marginally out of play when Tuvan delivered his cross as he got

1191
01:44:41,040 --> 01:44:44,880
to a long ball to Ferreira, but he didn't actually quite get to it. But a hilarious

1192
01:44:44,880 --> 01:44:49,600
own goal that would have been. He extends his right but hits the ball with his left.

1193
01:44:51,520 --> 01:44:56,640
Four minutes later, 54th minute to Rati, another great save to the nice Samaritzyc's

1194
01:44:56,640 --> 01:45:03,200
long range strike. He got down well to deny the Odinesa star man. In the 70th minute,

1195
01:45:03,200 --> 01:45:08,160
and then Silvestri did very well to deny Harui, who had a clear goal scoring opportunity.

1196
01:45:08,160 --> 01:45:12,640
The ball bounced off the goalkeeper and into the part of Kedira, but Cabacele did well to

1197
01:45:12,640 --> 01:45:19,600
clear the ball off the line. Action after action after action, VAR checks, penalties

1198
01:45:19,600 --> 01:45:28,320
that were cancelled, goals that were cancelled, drama, end to end stuff. This was a game and

1199
01:45:28,320 --> 01:45:33,680
a half between Odinesa and Fosinone. What did you make of it? Who do you think deserved to win this

1200
01:45:33,680 --> 01:45:39,200
game? Go ahead, bro. Definitely exciting. I feel like a draw is a fair result, to be honest,

1201
01:45:39,200 --> 01:45:44,400
because both teams had their moments. What do you think of the Lukakor?

1202
01:45:44,400 --> 01:45:52,960
The Lukakor being, I think Lukak played for it a lot, and I think he was, you could see he had

1203
01:45:52,960 --> 01:45:59,520
an arm full of the defender's shirt. But actually, these big players, they get away,

1204
01:46:00,480 --> 01:46:05,840
smaller players get away with hitting larger players very often. Like, you're back into Lukakor

1205
01:46:05,840 --> 01:46:10,720
hard, but he's so big that it's hardly ever called before. But I don't think Lukakor was going down

1206
01:46:10,720 --> 01:46:16,720
due to any contact with the defender. I think it was a tussle. And I think Lukakor went down and

1207
01:46:16,720 --> 01:46:21,520
took the defender down with him to make it seem a certain way. Now, it's always interesting because

1208
01:46:22,320 --> 01:46:26,240
that is subjective and the referee, every referee would make a different call over there,

1209
01:46:26,240 --> 01:46:31,280
because it's the human element of a referee. Now, he went to check VAR. Now, initially,

1210
01:46:31,280 --> 01:46:36,800
his decision was, okay, there was significant contact that brought Lukakor down. He then went to

1211
01:46:36,800 --> 01:46:42,480
VAR. And after seeing that, he could have made the decision to stick with his own decision, because

1212
01:46:42,480 --> 01:46:47,040
he in the moment could deem something to be significant or not significant. It's harder to

1213
01:46:47,040 --> 01:46:53,920
see it slow down and change your mind when you see it in the moment. But he reverted back,

1214
01:46:53,920 --> 01:46:58,640
clearly, because he said, okay, no, there was no contact. And there was Lukakor bringing him down

1215
01:46:58,640 --> 01:47:04,800
himself. I doubt he made the call because it was the contact was less significant than he initially

1216
01:47:04,800 --> 01:47:12,560
imagined, because that would be a bad call. Fair enough. Yes. I'm also surprised by Udinez's style.

1217
01:47:12,560 --> 01:47:20,800
Like, you've got a player like Lukka. Why is he being played these long balls that he has to chase

1218
01:47:20,800 --> 01:47:25,360
in wide positions and Thuvan's running into the area? And you see Lukka whipping the ball to

1219
01:47:25,360 --> 01:47:29,360
Thuvan. It's meant to be the other way around. It's something pretty basic. No, you look at

1220
01:47:29,360 --> 01:47:34,000
Thuvan, and he's very technical. And you look at Lukka, okay, granted, Lukka's technical, but

1221
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:37,680
at the end of the day, he's a tree. He's the tallest striker in the league. Pop him in the box. He's

1222
01:47:37,680 --> 01:47:41,680
taller than most defenders. Like, he should be the man at the end of your crosses.

1223
01:47:42,240 --> 01:47:47,200
And I found that weird. And to be honest, I think it's an execution thing, because I think it's

1224
01:47:47,200 --> 01:47:54,080
common sense to win when you're crossing it across to the bigger boy. I think I think they

1225
01:47:54,080 --> 01:47:58,160
haven't quite gotten used to the setup yet, or they haven't gotten used to where their teammates are

1226
01:47:58,160 --> 01:48:02,960
at and at what time. But I think they can grow into it. But yeah, because don't get me wrong,

1227
01:48:02,960 --> 01:48:07,840
Lukka does it well. He's good at chasing these balls out wide. But the thing is, they have no

1228
01:48:07,840 --> 01:48:14,640
one in the box to convert. That's the thing. And Odener is like, that's one thing I really

1229
01:48:14,640 --> 01:48:20,000
haven't seen for them yet, this season, that that's the ability to score goals. I don't think they've

1230
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:26,080
been creative. And I don't think they have that guy that can capitalize on half chances or just

1231
01:48:26,080 --> 01:48:32,000
a unique goal score. The same like they had Beto and De La Feo last season and the season before

1232
01:48:32,000 --> 01:48:36,480
that. De La Feo will be back. De La Feo will probably be back with Beto, won't be, because he's

1233
01:48:36,480 --> 01:48:41,440
gone for good off to the preamp. They're calling him the new Drogba at everything right now.

1234
01:48:42,400 --> 01:48:47,200
Relax. We don't know about his first touch. You don't notice it when you have more space.

1235
01:48:47,920 --> 01:48:54,880
But this is a downgrade for Odener for the time being. Tovan doesn't have the creativity that

1236
01:48:54,880 --> 01:49:05,440
De La Feo has in that sense, but he'll get there. And Luca, I mean, he's no poacher. He's a target.

1237
01:49:05,440 --> 01:49:10,880
He's a target. He played the ball to him, knocked the ball down. He's not going to score 15 goals

1238
01:49:10,880 --> 01:49:15,520
for you. The fact that they lost Peret, it just looks like they're not creative. I feel the

1239
01:49:16,160 --> 01:49:21,360
chances that they had is this was a proper scrap. If they're frozen on, they piled men forward,

1240
01:49:21,360 --> 01:49:26,800
Odener's a piled men forward. And there was, it was a proper game of football. Like,

1241
01:49:26,800 --> 01:49:30,800
like tactically, if you were to look at it and break it down, of course,

1242
01:49:30,800 --> 01:49:36,080
each team was set up in a certain way. But I feel like frozen on a plate, their adventurous

1243
01:49:36,080 --> 01:49:40,720
football that they like to play, and that allowed Odener to finally get forward a little bit.

1244
01:49:40,720 --> 01:49:44,160
They created chances. I don't think it's a plus that they created chances because they were gifted

1245
01:49:44,160 --> 01:49:49,840
opportunities to have chances and they didn't manage to score. So I think a bit negative

1246
01:49:49,840 --> 01:49:52,480
over there. Frozen on it looked like this area outside.

1247
01:49:53,280 --> 01:49:56,880
Facts. Yeah. Odener looked like the newly promoted team here.

1248
01:49:56,880 --> 01:50:02,560
Agreed. But this was such a typically you look at an in the game and you think that was boring,

1249
01:50:02,560 --> 01:50:07,840
but this had like the VAR team and the referee had such a busy game over here. It does show that

1250
01:50:07,840 --> 01:50:12,080
technology is so important in football as well, man. The amount of things we saw on this match day

1251
01:50:12,080 --> 01:50:16,560
that could have gone horribly wrong. Of course. Like lots you would have beaten Napoli 4-1,

1252
01:50:16,560 --> 01:50:21,600
you know what I mean? And even this, it would have been unjust to give any of those calls. So

1253
01:50:22,720 --> 01:50:27,520
at the end of the day, I think frozen on it could have probably gotten out with a little bit more

1254
01:50:27,520 --> 01:50:31,440
from this game. I think there was the slightly better side as we should soon air hitting the

1255
01:50:31,440 --> 01:50:35,920
post early on so on so forth. But no, no, both teams will take it on move.

1256
01:50:35,920 --> 01:50:49,120
Well, come back to our question segment, guys. If you want to leave us a question every week

1257
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:55,360
before our episode is released, feel free to DM us on Instagram or tweet us wherever you want.

1258
01:50:55,360 --> 01:51:00,640
Really, we check all of our socials as well. We try to include all of the questions asked,

1259
01:51:00,640 --> 01:51:08,240
but our patrons get priority for the segment. So Jake has the questions. Go ahead, Mibrello.

1260
01:51:08,240 --> 01:51:13,280
Our first one comes from our boy and patron, Andy. Thank you for the new microphone, Andy.

1261
01:51:13,280 --> 01:51:20,000
Thank you, sir. He says, was I slash we wrong to discount lots you this year from top four,

1262
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:26,240
mainly due to the fact that they lost SMS? I think it's too early. Like I said earlier,

1263
01:51:26,240 --> 01:51:31,200
and I think it's too early to make any call to include or exclude anyone from anything at the

1264
01:51:31,200 --> 01:51:39,280
moment. I think maybe some people are quick to exclude lots you because they're not maybe one

1265
01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:47,760
of the more exciting teams that people like to talk about, maybe. But yeah, I think we forgot

1266
01:51:47,760 --> 01:51:55,200
that there might be an answer to the loss of SMS and maybe it's Kamada. I don't know. We'll wait

1267
01:51:55,200 --> 01:52:02,400
and see. In our preview, we both excluded lots you from our top four, but we both said essentially

1268
01:52:02,400 --> 01:52:06,800
that it's disrespectful to remove them from the top four because at the end of the day, they lost

1269
01:52:06,800 --> 01:52:12,880
one player granted a very important player. And this is a sorry team with another year to it.

1270
01:52:12,880 --> 01:52:18,480
So sorry team that should have the style nailed down by now, right? Or should really be nailing

1271
01:52:18,480 --> 01:52:25,760
it down at the moment. Yes, so perhaps it would be wrong to rule them out. They were they finished

1272
01:52:25,760 --> 01:52:31,440
second quite comfortably last season. Yeah. Yeah. But anyway, the next question comes from Kurt on

1273
01:52:31,440 --> 01:52:39,200
Instagram. He says who scores more goals this season? Do one or Scamaca Scamaca easy peasy, bro.

1274
01:52:39,920 --> 01:52:47,440
Come on. Do one won't even get 10. Problem. I think how long does Sanabria starts again?

1275
01:52:47,440 --> 01:52:56,400
Exactly. Our next question comes from Kiran, Kiran Brady, our boy. He always every week.

1276
01:52:56,400 --> 01:53:02,080
Yeah, man. Legend. And I'm always confused by the pronunciation because it's Irish.

1277
01:53:03,040 --> 01:53:07,840
Because it looks like like. Yeah, exactly. I don't know. Okay, let us know.

1278
01:53:09,440 --> 01:53:14,400
If we're ever fucking your name up, let us know, bro. Please. He asks a great question.

1279
01:53:14,400 --> 01:53:21,600
Best player to go on a night out with? Oh, I like this one in Syria right now.

1280
01:53:25,760 --> 01:53:29,040
They was always a good shout because it'd be a fucking animal on the night.

1281
01:53:29,840 --> 01:53:35,520
I think it'd be a bit too mad. I think Petanya would be a very luxurious one. He'll end up like

1282
01:53:36,240 --> 01:53:40,960
on a fucking rooftop penthouse with a helipad and the drinking fucking

1283
01:53:40,960 --> 01:53:47,680
in Rosé d'Anjou like a thousand restaurants. He loves food and drink.

1284
01:53:47,680 --> 01:53:53,440
I think that's how it would be with Petanya. But I think I think I would say, you know what, give me

1285
01:53:54,160 --> 01:54:01,760
give me Chichocaputo on a night out. Give me a classic bar like, you know, and you know what,

1286
01:54:02,560 --> 01:54:07,920
bring Destro with us as well. We'll have a proper night out. Yeah. The vets.

1287
01:54:07,920 --> 01:54:14,480
The vets. What about you? A bit of a question. But Petanya's night out might be a bit too,

1288
01:54:15,920 --> 01:54:22,000
you know, restaurant-y, social-y. I don't think I'd enjoy it too much. I'd have to be like a rave goblin.

1289
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:27,920
Who would be a rave goblin in Syria? Somebody can. Like, who could you imagine with strobe lights on them?

1290
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:35,360
Like a techno party. I don't know. I'm certainly thinking of one. I don't, Salem Akers would be great fun.

1291
01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:39,120
Oh man. Yeah, Salem Akers would be great. Yeah, he'd do anything, I think.

1292
01:54:40,000 --> 01:54:44,080
Okay, so our last question comes from Lady, because it starts to be under two hours.

1293
01:54:45,280 --> 01:54:50,560
Oh, we've got five minutes left. Yeah, he says, hot take. Bastani is the best center back in Syria.

1294
01:54:55,680 --> 01:55:02,400
Probably, yes. Probably. He's up there. He's up there. He's top three, definitely. Bastani.

1295
01:55:02,400 --> 01:55:10,160
Three for sure. The best. Is he the best? That's a question. It's a good one. I think he might be.

1296
01:55:10,160 --> 01:55:16,400
I think he might be. He might fucking be the best. It's a good take. I like it. Yeah, but

1297
01:55:16,400 --> 01:55:20,720
Bastani must be the best center back in Syria. I'm trying to think right now of like people,

1298
01:55:20,720 --> 01:55:26,960
like you have Bremer, okay? He won best. Bremer is good. I think Milans have somewhere to do it.

1299
01:55:26,960 --> 01:55:32,880
You knew the young, like Chow is too young to make a name for that. Tonto Mori is a bit aggressive.

1300
01:55:32,880 --> 01:55:37,840
Not really. Rahman is good. Rahman is good. Juan has us nowhere near.

1301
01:55:40,640 --> 01:55:43,760
Yeah, man. He's probably the best. Bastani is the best, completely.

1302
01:55:43,760 --> 01:55:48,480
I don't think anyone better to be honest. And he might be one of the best trequartists in the

1303
01:55:48,480 --> 01:55:54,480
league. I think there are some good underrated ones in Skalvinia and Bonjorno. Again, I always

1304
01:55:54,480 --> 01:55:59,520
talk about these two. I think they're the future. But yeah, Bastani is a step ahead of them.

1305
01:56:00,400 --> 01:56:04,160
Thank you very much for listening, guys. We have been your hosts, Jake and Matt.

1306
01:56:04,160 --> 01:56:07,600
And sorry, this episode was late, but thank you very much for waiting and thank you.

1307
01:56:07,600 --> 01:56:23,760
You've made it this far. Thank you, guys. We'll see you all next week. Ciao, ciao.
