1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,280
Tolján again stepping in field so Berardi can stay wide.

2
00:00:05,280 --> 00:00:09,520
Berardi shooting shots for him!

3
00:00:09,520 --> 00:00:12,800
He is a wonderful football player.

4
00:00:12,800 --> 00:00:14,800
This is Orsolini.

5
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:17,360
Still with Orsolini!

6
00:00:17,360 --> 00:00:21,600
And that is wonderful from Bologna's number seven.

7
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:28,080
Hello and welcome back to Serie A Spotlight.

8
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:30,800
This is episode 94 and we're your host Jake.

9
00:00:30,800 --> 00:00:31,360
And Matt.

10
00:00:31,360 --> 00:00:35,440
Here to give you a rundown of matchday six which took place midweek and matchday seven

11
00:00:35,440 --> 00:00:37,680
which we'll be covering in greater detail.

12
00:00:37,680 --> 00:00:41,840
Yep, unfortunately with the Serie A calendar being quite swamped.

13
00:00:42,400 --> 00:00:43,440
So are we?

14
00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:44,000
Naturally.

15
00:00:44,720 --> 00:00:49,200
We managed to give you guys a full episode for matchday five but matchday six and seven

16
00:00:49,200 --> 00:00:54,160
we couldn't think of a better way than killing them both essentially in one episode.

17
00:00:54,160 --> 00:00:59,760
So I hope it's not too much of an inconvenience for all of you.

18
00:00:59,760 --> 00:01:02,240
But that means that we had two goals of the week.

19
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:07,520
For matchday five it was Berardi who scored the winner against Inter.

20
00:01:08,720 --> 00:01:12,560
In a fantastic match where Sasvolo ended the game 2-1.

21
00:01:12,560 --> 00:01:17,120
It was a brilliant solo display there by Berardi who literally carried Sasvolo on that win.

22
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:21,280
And that goal literally was a cherry on top of the cake for his performance.

23
00:01:21,280 --> 00:01:25,600
Ritegui's goal in Gen was 4-1 triumph against Roma.

24
00:01:25,600 --> 00:01:26,880
It was absolutely brilliant.

25
00:01:26,880 --> 00:01:28,560
Yeah, it's very close.

26
00:01:28,560 --> 00:01:29,440
It was up there.

27
00:01:29,440 --> 00:01:32,480
If it wasn't for the stage it might have taken it.

28
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:37,120
You just have Albert Gudmundsson taking on three players whipping the ball in.

29
00:01:37,120 --> 00:01:40,400
It's flicked down and then Ritegui just smacks it on the half volley.

30
00:01:40,400 --> 00:01:41,600
That's a brilliant goal.

31
00:01:41,600 --> 00:01:44,640
I want to talk a lot about Albert Gudmundsson in this episode.

32
00:01:44,640 --> 00:01:46,000
Yes, he's the cover art guy.

33
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:46,800
That's him.

34
00:01:46,800 --> 00:01:47,600
That's the guy.

35
00:01:47,600 --> 00:01:50,480
He got the cover art ahead of Orsalini who scored the hat.

36
00:01:50,480 --> 00:01:51,280
Berardi.

37
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:54,560
And over that, Aro Martinez who scored four.

38
00:01:54,560 --> 00:01:58,080
But we mentioned Orsalini so that is our matchday six goal of the week.

39
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:01,120
Orsalini scored a hat trick of goals against Empoli.

40
00:02:01,120 --> 00:02:05,120
However, his first one was the nicest one.

41
00:02:05,120 --> 00:02:09,600
The way he flicked the ball over the last defender and then volleyed it before it could hit the ground

42
00:02:09,600 --> 00:02:11,200
into the bottom corner.

43
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:11,600
Stunning.

44
00:02:11,600 --> 00:02:14,320
When Orsalini is on, he looks ridiculous.

45
00:02:14,320 --> 00:02:19,200
Colombo, it was an honorable mention over there for a great solo strike.

46
00:02:19,200 --> 00:02:22,000
I really wasn't expecting it by Colombo.

47
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:26,400
And Gudmundsson once again, an honorable mention over there.

48
00:02:26,400 --> 00:02:30,160
Fantastic goal in the two draw away to Odinesa.

49
00:02:30,160 --> 00:02:36,160
Yes, just as Colombo scored the solo goal from the left, Orsalini scored the solo goal from the right.

50
00:02:36,160 --> 00:02:40,240
So, pretty identical to be honest as goes.

51
00:02:40,240 --> 00:02:43,680
Orsalini had more flair to it and more technique.

52
00:02:43,680 --> 00:02:46,000
So that one takes the cake, of course.

53
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:48,240
Guys, remember to like, follow, rate us five stars.

54
00:02:48,240 --> 00:02:50,480
We've got Instagram, we've got TikTok, we've got YouTube.

55
00:02:50,480 --> 00:02:52,800
Those of you who listened to us on YouTube will notice that last week,

56
00:02:52,800 --> 00:02:57,840
something went devastatingly wrong and our episode was uploaded at three seconds in length.

57
00:02:57,840 --> 00:03:01,840
Hopefully, you found us on other platforms and we apologize for that.

58
00:03:01,840 --> 00:03:06,400
Not quite sure what happened with our podcast provider over there.

59
00:03:06,400 --> 00:03:11,360
If you would like to support our content, that's 3.99 a month on Patreon to become part of the family

and to help us to improve our equipment, improve our sound.

61
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:17,120
And maybe even who knows, do this full time one day.

62
00:03:17,120 --> 00:03:18,640
Yeah, hopefully.

63
00:03:18,640 --> 00:03:21,520
Yeah, let's take you through a quick round on of matchday 6.

64
00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:22,320
I know Matt.

65
00:03:22,320 --> 00:03:24,800
Give me a second before you do that.

66
00:03:24,800 --> 00:03:28,880
Because one of the perks naturally with you guys being in our Patreon is that

67
00:03:29,760 --> 00:03:32,240
you can participate in our FantaCulture League.

68
00:03:33,760 --> 00:03:37,200

00:03:37,200 --> 00:03:39,200
then check out our Instagram.

70
00:03:39,200 --> 00:03:42,400
We post all of the results and the league tables over there,

71
00:03:42,400 --> 00:03:45,520
along with some banter that is shared on our chat.

72
00:03:45,520 --> 00:03:50,160
We've got some fantastic memers in the strat, particularly Luca fucking kills me, man.

73
00:03:50,160 --> 00:03:51,200
He's such a funny guy.

74
00:03:52,240 --> 00:03:53,200
Right now, I'm in fourth.

75
00:03:53,200 --> 00:03:57,360
I'm coming off a 6-1 victory because I have Orsalanian, my team, and I was against the renegades.

76
00:03:58,160 --> 00:04:00,400
Before that, I lost to Mintoff, which is classic.

77
00:04:00,400 --> 00:04:01,360
How are you doing, bro?

78
00:04:02,080 --> 00:04:03,360
I am currently sixth.

79
00:04:04,880 --> 00:04:08,960
Not doing as well as I would like to, but it's still early on in the season.

80
00:04:08,960 --> 00:04:11,840
And I feel like we could do some good things this year.

81
00:04:11,840 --> 00:04:12,720
We're on six points.

82
00:04:12,720 --> 00:04:13,760
First place is 9 points.

83
00:04:13,760 --> 00:04:14,480
That's not too bad.

84
00:04:14,480 --> 00:04:16,480
I'm on seven and first place is nine.

85
00:04:16,480 --> 00:04:18,400
So, yeah, not worried over here.

86
00:04:18,400 --> 00:04:21,120
By the way, bro, you interrupt one more time, you die.

87
00:04:21,760 --> 00:04:22,960
It's as simple as that.

88
00:04:22,960 --> 00:04:25,520
Now, matchday six, I'm going to give you a quick rundown.

89
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,840
Mjueve beat Lecce, 1-0, Millic got the nod over Vladovic,

90
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:32,880
and repaid a leg-re-stress with his second half winner.

91
00:04:32,880 --> 00:04:35,760
Lecce have been humbled, and Kaba was sent off at the end.

92
00:04:35,760 --> 00:04:37,840
And since then, Lecce were actually humbled twice.

93
00:04:38,560 --> 00:04:40,560
Kaliari won Milan 3.

94
00:04:40,560 --> 00:04:46,240
Lovumbo opened the scoring in Sardinia, but Milan's firepower proved to be too much for Raniari's side.

95
00:04:46,240 --> 00:04:49,120
Inter lost 2-1 to Sasvolo at home.

96
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:51,200
There are three certainties in this life.

97
00:04:51,200 --> 00:04:54,160
Death, taxes, and Berardi scoring against Inter.

98
00:04:54,160 --> 00:04:57,680
Sasvolo were clearly unfazed by the seemingly invincible Inter side

99
00:04:57,680 --> 00:05:00,480
as they handed them their first L of the season.

100
00:05:01,040 --> 00:05:05,840
Napoli triumphed 4-0 over a poor looking Udenes's side.

101
00:05:05,840 --> 00:05:08,720
They have two new problems to deal with, since we last spoke to you guys.

102
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:15,280
The first being that they might be losing star Victor Rosiman after the old TikTok fiasco.

103
00:05:16,240 --> 00:05:19,200
We'll be talking about that in greater detail later on.

104
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:23,200
The second problem they face is that they need to find a new TikTok admin, of course,

105
00:05:23,200 --> 00:05:27,360
because he's definitely got sacked.

106
00:05:27,360 --> 00:05:31,920
Yeah, as I say, one of them is definitely easier to replace than the other, right?

107
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:37,040
Lazio beat Torino Tunel, Vecino, and Zakanis' goals were more than enough

108
00:05:37,040 --> 00:05:39,680
for a well-earned victory against a tough Torino side.

109
00:05:39,680 --> 00:05:43,680
Genoa destroyed Roma 4-1 at home.

110
00:05:43,680 --> 00:05:48,400
Gilles Ardino's boys blew Roma out of the water with the magical Albert Goodmanson leading the way.

111
00:05:49,680 --> 00:05:51,760
It was an incredible performance by Goodmanson.

112
00:05:51,760 --> 00:05:54,960
Genoa were much better than Roma in every aspect.

113
00:05:54,960 --> 00:05:55,600
Yeah.

114
00:05:55,600 --> 00:05:58,720
And Goodmanson looks like a top player in his position, completely like.

115
00:06:00,400 --> 00:06:01,760
Breakout player for sure.

116
00:06:01,760 --> 00:06:03,360
He's going to be expensive, man.

117
00:06:03,920 --> 00:06:05,680
He's going to be very expensive.

118
00:06:05,680 --> 00:06:08,480
Frosinone held Fiorentina 1-1 at home.

119
00:06:09,440 --> 00:06:14,320
Fiorentina were very wasteful and they suffered a late equaliser at the hands of Mathias Sule

120
00:06:14,320 --> 00:06:19,520
on loan from Juventus as Frosinone continued to prove that no occasion is actually too big for them.

121
00:06:20,080 --> 00:06:22,080
Atalanta beat Verona 1-1 away from home.

122
00:06:22,080 --> 00:06:26,640
Coupe minors goal in the 13th minute was enough for Atalanta to get a street smart

123
00:06:26,640 --> 00:06:29,760
away victory against once again Chiqui Verona side.

124
00:06:30,400 --> 00:06:33,920
Empoli got their first victory of the season against all odds.

125
00:06:33,920 --> 00:06:37,200
Of course Zanetti was sacked and they brought in Andrzej Azoli to replace him.

126
00:06:37,200 --> 00:06:39,280
They played Salerni at home and won their kid.

127
00:06:39,280 --> 00:06:43,440
Thomas Sobaldanzi scored the only goal in Empoli's first win of the season,

128
00:06:43,440 --> 00:06:44,800
hopefully the first of many.

129
00:06:46,160 --> 00:06:47,600
Even though I highly doubt that.

130
00:06:47,600 --> 00:06:48,560
But we'll see.

131
00:06:48,560 --> 00:06:51,120
Monza, Nyl, Bologna, Nyl was the last one.

132
00:06:51,120 --> 00:06:55,040
Two sides were actually bigger and better than most people would think.

133
00:06:55,600 --> 00:06:59,760
This was a stalemate which saw Salemakers getting a double yellow upon entry.

134
00:06:59,760 --> 00:07:00,880
So that's just worth watching.

135
00:07:00,880 --> 00:07:02,640
Yeah, literally.

136
00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:07,680
Thank you Salemakers for making that game a little bit more interesting at the end with the red card.

137
00:07:07,680 --> 00:07:11,280
No, that was such a shame that we didn't get to record a full episode for this

138
00:07:11,280 --> 00:07:13,120
because I mean all across the board.

139
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:16,000
I mean, Juve won Leczeny with a middle goal.

140
00:07:16,000 --> 00:07:20,080
That's fine Milan winning 3-1 away against Caliari.

141
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:22,720
That's okay, although I wish you saw Lovumbo's goal.

142
00:07:23,840 --> 00:07:29,280
Jake predicted that Lovumbo was going to be the first scorer pretty much in that match.

143
00:07:29,280 --> 00:07:37,120
But Inter's a swallow and Genoa Roma and even Frozino Nefiorentina to me those three

144
00:07:38,160 --> 00:07:40,560
matches and Empoli-Salernitana naturally.

145
00:07:40,560 --> 00:07:44,960
My God, just these four games are the ones that stand out.

146
00:07:44,960 --> 00:07:47,920
Naturally, Empoli getting their first goal and their first win.

147
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:50,800
They did a great job over there to hold off Salernitana.

148
00:07:50,800 --> 00:07:56,240
Through my experience, when you have midweek games, you look at the scores,

149
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:58,720
you'll have six games happening at the exact same time.

150
00:07:58,720 --> 00:07:59,280
Yeah.

151
00:07:59,280 --> 00:08:03,440
And when you look at the scores, one nil, nil, nil.

152
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:04,400
Yeah, exactly.

153
00:08:04,400 --> 00:08:05,520
Very low scoring.

154
00:08:05,520 --> 00:08:08,240
This was absolutely crazy midweek.

155
00:08:08,240 --> 00:08:10,080
Crazy, crazy, crazy.

156
00:08:10,080 --> 00:08:16,880
Let's just go through so that we do give at least these four fixtures some importance over here.

157
00:08:17,440 --> 00:08:18,720
Inter's a swallow.

158
00:08:19,760 --> 00:08:24,400
It's good to mention that Inter are on obviously hot form.

159
00:08:24,400 --> 00:08:25,440
Right, they were undefeated.

160
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:30,080
They only conceded one goal and that was in the Derby della Madonina, which they won 5-1.

161
00:08:30,880 --> 00:08:34,240
They go up at home in the San Siro against a swallow.

162
00:08:34,960 --> 00:08:36,080
They get the lead.

163
00:08:36,080 --> 00:08:38,080
They get it quite early on as well.

164
00:08:38,080 --> 00:08:42,000
And so swallow, come back and get a 2-1 victory over there.

165
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:47,200
Berardi right after we placed him on the podcast and right after obviously we received one of

166
00:08:48,080 --> 00:08:53,120
our best fan texts before about Berardi on the podcast.

167
00:08:53,120 --> 00:08:55,600
He goes and does that. Fantastic stuff.

168
00:08:55,600 --> 00:08:56,720
What a player.

169
00:08:56,720 --> 00:08:59,600
So swallow looked completely different with him and the

170
00:08:59,600 --> 00:09:01,360
Sasvolo analogy rings on.

171
00:09:01,360 --> 00:09:04,240
Not that I made back in 2020 when it was.

172
00:09:04,240 --> 00:09:05,520
I think it was 2021.

173
00:09:05,520 --> 00:09:06,320
2021.

174
00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:07,520
It got picked up quite a bit.

175
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,520
Yeah, basically tweeted out randomly.

176
00:09:09,520 --> 00:09:14,320
I was stoned on my sofa watching Sasvolo and I tweeted out that

177
00:09:14,320 --> 00:09:16,320
Sasvolo are the Robin Hood of, say,

178
00:09:17,280 --> 00:09:20,000
Andrei's steel points from the rich and give them to the poor.

179
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:21,840
Right, next thing I know this tweet is blowing up.

180
00:09:21,840 --> 00:09:24,640
Like, IFTV, love it. They keep posting it and reposting it.

181
00:09:24,640 --> 00:09:25,680
Shout out to IFTV.

182
00:09:25,680 --> 00:09:26,240
Love you guys.

183
00:09:27,360 --> 00:09:29,840
Yeah, they are the Robin Hood.

184
00:09:29,840 --> 00:09:32,320
Now we've discussed this in great detail.

185
00:09:32,320 --> 00:09:37,040
Why is it that Sasvolo beat the big teams and then seem to lose the small ones?

186
00:09:37,040 --> 00:09:41,040
We do have a couple of analogies that we've mentioned before.

187
00:09:41,040 --> 00:09:45,600
Yeah, I mean you have Sasvolo who don't have a massive fan base.

188
00:09:45,600 --> 00:09:50,160
So they don't have that thing where they step onto the pitch and they're playing for their fans

189
00:09:50,160 --> 00:09:54,480
because they're so moved by the T4 and the chanting and the songs.

190
00:09:54,480 --> 00:09:57,600
And you know, like think about the player like Berardi should have had

191
00:09:57,600 --> 00:09:59,040
10 songs about him by now.

192
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:00,240
Isn't it fucked up?

193
00:10:00,240 --> 00:10:01,120
That's what I was going to say.

194
00:10:01,840 --> 00:10:07,040
Put Berardi, well, ideally Berardi would be in a team with a fan base that has

195
00:10:07,920 --> 00:10:12,320
every kid in the city wearing his shirt because that's that is the staple.

196
00:10:12,320 --> 00:10:17,920
That is the level of a staple that Berardi is to this Sasvolo team.

197
00:10:17,920 --> 00:10:24,400
I mean, I think like Sasvolo who only got promoted to say, yeah, what bro?

198
00:10:24,400 --> 00:10:28,400
Eight years ago, seven years ago, something like that under the Francesco.

199
00:10:29,280 --> 00:10:32,720
And this you were reject, right?

200
00:10:32,720 --> 00:10:37,520
Berardi comes in and he has put this team on the map.

201
00:10:37,520 --> 00:10:41,120
He has put this team, he has made them contenders for Europe.

202
00:10:41,120 --> 00:10:44,960
It's been 10 years of Sasvolo for sure, by the way, because Berardi had scored his,

203
00:10:44,960 --> 00:10:47,200
he made his debut in 2013 for them.

204
00:10:47,200 --> 00:10:48,240
I see. Okay.

205
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:49,920
Okay. So it's been around 10 years.

206
00:10:49,920 --> 00:10:50,640
Let's say 10 years.

207
00:10:51,440 --> 00:10:57,600
But what this guy's been able to do, he should be a hero for all these kids.

208
00:10:57,600 --> 00:11:02,000
Thankfully, we're starting to see this stadium going up literally by the tens.

209
00:11:02,000 --> 00:11:06,880
It's not like it's an incredible difference, but they're steering the ship into the right direction.

210
00:11:06,880 --> 00:11:12,640
Hopefully it's coming at the right time where Berardi could really be our role model for these

211
00:11:12,640 --> 00:11:17,040
kids and Berardi could really make Sasvolo the team to support for all these people that

212
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:20,480
live in Maudena and that live around Bologna as well.

213
00:11:20,480 --> 00:11:21,520
So yeah.

214
00:11:21,520 --> 00:11:22,320
Yeah, definitely.

215
00:11:22,320 --> 00:11:26,640
And it is nice to see their fan base growing slowly, but steadily.

216
00:11:26,640 --> 00:11:29,840
We also had Genoa Roma, of course, which was absolutely crazy.

217
00:11:29,840 --> 00:11:35,280
Madonna goes from Thorsby, Goodminton, Retegue and Junior Messias coming on,

218
00:11:35,280 --> 00:11:42,880
who celebrated that goal more passionately than his goal in the group stages of the Champions League

219
00:11:42,880 --> 00:11:45,840
with Milan, which happened to be Milan's first Champions League goals.

220
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:49,440
It wasn't the last time they were in it, which I believe was seven years prior to that.

221
00:11:49,440 --> 00:11:51,840
I'm not quite sure what's going to go to miss.

222
00:11:51,840 --> 00:11:54,960
Yes, I think it was more Starstruck in the Champions League goal.

223
00:11:54,960 --> 00:11:57,680
And here he was just like, I'm not finished.

224
00:11:57,680 --> 00:11:58,720
I've still got this.

225
00:11:58,720 --> 00:11:59,680
I haven't peaked.

226
00:11:59,680 --> 00:12:02,160
Perhaps I still have more to offer to this league.

227
00:12:02,160 --> 00:12:02,640
Yeah, man.

228
00:12:02,640 --> 00:12:07,920
And I think a team like Genoa that are so exciting is the right space to put him in,

229
00:12:07,920 --> 00:12:13,200
because him and Salah Makers competing for that right-hand side against Milan had become

230
00:12:13,200 --> 00:12:19,120
such a boring, an tedious conversation and such boring, an tedious fucking performances as well.

231
00:12:19,120 --> 00:12:20,160
Every now and then.

232
00:12:20,160 --> 00:12:22,480
And clearly the weak side to Milan.

233
00:12:22,480 --> 00:12:26,480
Now you put him into a project of an up-and-coming team with so many exciting players,

234
00:12:26,480 --> 00:12:30,720
and suddenly he's in the light of excitement again, which he hasn't been in for a while.

235
00:12:30,720 --> 00:12:32,240
So good on you, Honior.

236
00:12:32,240 --> 00:12:36,320
He's an underrated signing by Genoa, because you can play him anywhere.

237
00:12:36,320 --> 00:12:37,120
You can play him on the wing.

238
00:12:37,120 --> 00:12:38,400
You can play him as a Mazzala.

239
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:40,400
You can play him as a support striker.

240
00:12:40,400 --> 00:12:41,120
You can...

241
00:12:41,120 --> 00:12:42,000
He's very versatile.

242
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:45,280
I'm pretty sure you can put in a shift as a wingback as well.

243
00:12:45,280 --> 00:12:47,120
Yeah, probably.

244
00:12:47,120 --> 00:12:49,920
But I do think we should get going with matchday seven.

245
00:12:51,360 --> 00:12:53,920
This week in, say, matchday seven.

246
00:12:53,920 --> 00:12:57,360
Victor Ozzyman, brother, is the talk of the town, right?

247
00:12:57,360 --> 00:13:02,480
He deleted all his Skodetto celebration pictures on Instagram and threatened to sue the club.

248
00:13:02,480 --> 00:13:07,200
After an hour, police official Instagram and TikTok accounts posted a video mocking his penalty

249
00:13:07,200 --> 00:13:09,840
miss and another video calling him a coconut.

250
00:13:09,840 --> 00:13:13,920
He appeared standoffish with teammates, but allegedly peace has been restored.

251
00:13:13,920 --> 00:13:19,280
If you were to believe things that appear on social media, Ozzyman has put up a post saying

252
00:13:19,280 --> 00:13:24,080
that he loves Naples and that the people of Napoli give him the fuel and the adrenaline

253
00:13:24,080 --> 00:13:25,920
he needs to perform at the highest level.

254
00:13:25,920 --> 00:13:28,080
Oh, but they must weed him out, man.

255
00:13:28,080 --> 00:13:29,520
They have to weed him out.

256
00:13:29,520 --> 00:13:31,600
This whole Pizzella Ozzyman thing, everyone.

257
00:13:31,600 --> 00:13:37,680
You've got kids eating fucking ice creams, shaped and colored like Ozzyman's dick, guys.

258
00:13:37,680 --> 00:13:40,720
I'm surprised he's still there.

259
00:13:40,720 --> 00:13:43,840
Love Naples, love the city, love the football team, love the people.

260
00:13:43,840 --> 00:13:46,640
I'm quite sure they weed him out.

261
00:13:46,640 --> 00:13:52,160
I've got a bit of a skit of how this conversation might have gone down.

262
00:13:54,160 --> 00:13:55,360
It's not funny.

263
00:13:55,360 --> 00:13:57,280
It just puts it into perspective.

264
00:13:57,280 --> 00:14:03,440
Basically, Ozzyman walks into Tello Rentes' office.

265
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:08,160
Like, hey, boss, hey, Victor, how are you, my man?

266
00:14:08,160 --> 00:14:09,600
Not bad, boss, not bad.

267
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:12,400
I just wanted to pull you aside about something.

268
00:14:12,400 --> 00:14:14,000
Oh, what's wrong, Victor?

269
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:14,400
Tell me.

270
00:14:14,400 --> 00:14:17,520
Like, well, I don't want to make a big deal about it.

271
00:14:17,520 --> 00:14:18,400
Oh, come on, Victor.

272
00:14:18,400 --> 00:14:18,800
Just tell me.

273
00:14:18,800 --> 00:14:19,360
Okay, no problem.

274
00:14:19,360 --> 00:14:20,160
No problem, boss.

275
00:14:20,160 --> 00:14:23,360
Look, I've been here for three years now, right?

276
00:14:24,400 --> 00:14:25,920
Last season was my best year here.

277
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:27,200
We can both agree.

278
00:14:27,200 --> 00:14:27,440
Yes.

279
00:14:29,840 --> 00:14:33,200
I was the Capucon on Yere for Napoli.

280
00:14:33,200 --> 00:14:37,680
And we won the first league in 30 years.

281
00:14:37,680 --> 00:14:40,000
It's like, yes, and Ozzyman, Victor, right?

282
00:14:40,000 --> 00:14:42,400
I think you were pivotal to all that.

283
00:14:42,400 --> 00:14:44,880
Yes, yes, and I think so as well.

284
00:14:44,880 --> 00:14:48,560
The team was great as well, but I do think that I played a massive part.

285
00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:51,760
Then I can't help but feel.

286
00:14:53,040 --> 00:14:54,480
I go on social media.

287
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,840
My team's social media.

288
00:14:57,840 --> 00:15:02,640
And I can't help but feel that these guys are mocking me.

289
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,920
Like, first there's this video about me being a coconut.

290
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:08,960
Like, I'm a coconut.

291
00:15:08,960 --> 00:15:09,680
I'm a coconut.

292
00:15:09,680 --> 00:15:11,440
Like, sure, whatever.

293
00:15:11,440 --> 00:15:13,520
Like, I'm a coconut.

294
00:15:13,520 --> 00:15:15,520
I don't get it, but sure, like, fuck it.

295
00:15:16,320 --> 00:15:18,000
But then I miss a penalty.

296
00:15:18,000 --> 00:15:22,720
I make a mistake and they're mocking me, playing music over me.

297
00:15:23,360 --> 00:15:24,400
I don't think that's right.

298
00:15:24,400 --> 00:15:25,680
The coconut thing, fuck it.

299
00:15:25,680 --> 00:15:28,080
Like, I'm a coconut, but this I can't.

300
00:15:29,280 --> 00:15:30,400
I can't accept it.

301
00:15:31,040 --> 00:15:32,480
That's how I feel the conversation.

302
00:15:32,480 --> 00:15:33,040
Yeah, I mean.

303
00:15:33,040 --> 00:15:33,440
I'm going down.

304
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:34,800
We just put it into perspective.

305
00:15:34,800 --> 00:15:37,040
What a weird encounter this is.

306
00:15:37,040 --> 00:15:42,720
Yeah, I mean, it's totally bizarre because when that was by the way, thank you.

307
00:15:42,720 --> 00:15:43,440
No, thank you.

308
00:15:43,440 --> 00:15:44,400
Thank you for this.

309
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:44,960
I enjoyed that.

310
00:15:46,560 --> 00:15:48,800
And I'm sure they know that and said, yeah, we did.

311
00:15:50,000 --> 00:15:54,720
Yeah, but it's definitely a weird way to fall out of favor with your best player.

312
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:57,520
It's definitely the strangest situation I've seen.

313
00:15:57,520 --> 00:16:01,760
When you look at the the TikTok admin, the poor guy is probably a Napoli fan

314
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:07,120
who landed his dream job and is the admin of Napoli's official TikTok account.

315
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:09,520
You know, and everyone in the comments is like, does the admin reply?

316
00:16:09,520 --> 00:16:10,640
He's like, yeah, I do brother.

317
00:16:10,640 --> 00:16:12,480
Best admin in the world.

318
00:16:12,480 --> 00:16:13,920
He's like, I love my job.

319
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:15,360
And then he goes home.

320
00:16:15,360 --> 00:16:18,720
He's like, oh, Mr. Penalty, maybe there is a trend right now

321
00:16:18,720 --> 00:16:23,520
where you put high pitch, the voices and these funny memes with football moments.

322
00:16:23,520 --> 00:16:25,200
You speed them up to make them funnier.

323
00:16:25,760 --> 00:16:27,840
And he decided to make it about his own player.

324
00:16:27,840 --> 00:16:28,080
Right.

325
00:16:28,080 --> 00:16:32,000
And that's I'm sorry, but that's a poor judgment call.

326
00:16:32,000 --> 00:16:35,520
And of course, with the way that things have developed,

327
00:16:35,520 --> 00:16:36,800
he's going to lose his job.

328
00:16:36,800 --> 00:16:36,960
Right.

329
00:16:36,960 --> 00:16:41,040
You have to be you have to feel for him, but that's the only situation.

330
00:16:41,040 --> 00:16:41,200
Right.

331
00:16:41,760 --> 00:16:47,360
Thankfully, the Osama situation seems to have calmed down, but I am I'm sure

332
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:49,680
that next year he won't be there.

333
00:16:49,680 --> 00:16:56,320
Look, I think there's definitely like to cut the social media admin some slack.

334
00:16:56,320 --> 00:16:59,760
It's not the worst thing in the world that he has done.

335
00:16:59,760 --> 00:17:05,600
You've seen other teams poking fun at their own players, maybe not mocking them for a penalty

336
00:17:05,600 --> 00:17:05,920
miss.

337
00:17:05,920 --> 00:17:08,480
I do think there was a line that was crossed.

338
00:17:09,120 --> 00:17:12,960
I just think that there are certain cultural differences over here, guys.

339
00:17:12,960 --> 00:17:19,680
There's an admin who is constantly watching these memes and formulating content.

340
00:17:20,640 --> 00:17:23,840
And probably European Italian, you know what I mean?

341
00:17:23,840 --> 00:17:29,120
Osama comes from Nigeria and have you ever spoken to your typical Nigerian person?

342
00:17:29,120 --> 00:17:35,760
You'll find that these people are massive on respect, huge on respect.

343
00:17:35,760 --> 00:17:36,880
You respect them.

344
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,000
They respect you.

345
00:17:38,000 --> 00:17:39,680
Second, they feel disrespected.

346
00:17:40,320 --> 00:17:44,320
Then they feel disrespected and they're going to react as though they are disrespected.

347
00:17:44,320 --> 00:17:47,040
And I think that's the way Osama is reacting.

348
00:17:47,040 --> 00:17:49,200
Sure, we could look at him and say, calm down.

349
00:17:49,200 --> 00:17:50,560
It's just a meme, bro.

350
00:17:50,560 --> 00:17:54,160
But it's not just a meme for him, is it?

351
00:17:54,160 --> 00:18:01,040
Yes, I think culturally in Nigeria, for example, the employer dynamic might be different.

352
00:18:01,040 --> 00:18:09,360
And the whole concept of respect on this whole 2023 meme culture, I'm not sure, is quite understood

353
00:18:09,360 --> 00:18:12,320
over there or appreciated, quite frankly.

354
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:15,360
Yes, it was rather risky.

355
00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:18,720
And yeah, the admin definitely paid the price.

356
00:18:18,720 --> 00:18:21,920
But anyway, I hope no one lost their job, by the way.

357
00:18:21,920 --> 00:18:23,200
Yeah, same.

358
00:18:23,200 --> 00:18:24,800
But someone definitely did.

359
00:18:24,800 --> 00:18:30,000
Lautaro Martinez made the headlines as he scored four goals in 30 minutes

360
00:18:30,000 --> 00:18:36,960
in a battering, an absolute battering of Salernitana since his entry.

361
00:18:36,960 --> 00:18:40,960
Because to be honest, Salernitana were holding their own before Lautaro entered.

362
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:46,320
He was the first player in Seya and the modern era to score four goals after coming off the bench.

363
00:18:46,320 --> 00:18:50,160
Or Solini also had an impressive feat as he put pressure on Spaletti for a national team call-up

364
00:18:50,160 --> 00:18:53,680
with a brilliant hat trick against Nepele and I do mean a brilliant hat trick.

365
00:18:53,680 --> 00:18:58,960
Albert Goodman almost had a hat trick himself as he scored two and had one void off against Odinese.

366
00:18:58,960 --> 00:19:03,040
After his midweek master class against Roma, he's really developing into a player.

367
00:19:03,040 --> 00:19:04,960
Papu Vomis is back in the league.

368
00:19:04,960 --> 00:19:05,680
Oh my god.

369
00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:06,560
By Nakomel Papu.

370
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:08,960
You have no idea how happy that makes me, bro.

371
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:09,760
Yes, sir.

372
00:19:09,760 --> 00:19:13,520
He has signed for Monza and he has already danced.

373
00:19:13,520 --> 00:19:16,560
The Papu dance with Gagliani.

374
00:19:16,560 --> 00:19:17,040
Yes.

375
00:19:17,040 --> 00:19:19,920
Fantastic content over there to enjoy.

376
00:19:19,920 --> 00:19:22,240
And I don't know about you, but these videos always come up when I'm at work.

377
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:23,440
Aha.

378
00:19:23,440 --> 00:19:25,360
And you like save them for later?

379
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:25,840
Exactly.

380
00:19:25,840 --> 00:19:26,480
Kind of thing.

381
00:19:26,480 --> 00:19:27,040
Exactly.

382
00:19:27,040 --> 00:19:27,680
Yeah.

383
00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:28,400
Miserable life.

384
00:19:28,400 --> 00:19:29,040
What can we do?

385
00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:35,360
Salernitana's incredible fans dedicated their t-fort to Pink Floyd unveiling the famous

386
00:19:35,360 --> 00:19:39,840
wall from the album The Wall, which eventually transitioned into the popular lyrics

387
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:44,560
Shine on You Crazy Diamond from performing miracle survivals to signing top players to

388
00:19:44,560 --> 00:19:48,880
having a brilliant fan base who put out these incredible t-fos.

389
00:19:48,880 --> 00:19:55,280
Salernitana really are Seria's crazy diamond and I sure do hope that they'll keep on shining.

390
00:19:55,280 --> 00:19:56,800
I certainly hope so.

391
00:19:56,800 --> 00:19:59,200
It looks like they're struggling a little bit at the moment.

392
00:20:00,240 --> 00:20:03,440
They've definitely got the players and the manager to turn it around.

393
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,720
It's just not really ticking for them right now, is it?

394
00:20:06,720 --> 00:20:12,400
Yeah, I thought of a cool idea today, which is it's a bit too late to do.

395
00:20:12,400 --> 00:20:18,160
Considering that this is probably his last season at Salernitana, considering how he

396
00:20:18,160 --> 00:20:18,800
did try to.

397
00:20:18,800 --> 00:20:19,280
Last season, probably?

398
00:20:19,280 --> 00:20:22,160
Yeah, literally, I think it'll be off in January kind of thing.

399
00:20:23,840 --> 00:20:28,960
It would have been so cool if we did a series of an inexpensive, by the way,

400
00:20:28,960 --> 00:20:36,960
going towards Salernitana in their own stadium until Dia scores and we get to sing

401
00:20:36,960 --> 00:20:43,280
Gulaedia and we'd go to every home match of Salernitana until his scores and we get to do

402
00:20:43,280 --> 00:20:43,920
just once.

403
00:20:43,920 --> 00:20:44,720
This question.

404
00:20:44,720 --> 00:20:48,000
The love of God let me be there once by Dia goes.

405
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:49,200
It might be too late.

406
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:50,880
That's what I'm thinking.

407
00:20:50,880 --> 00:20:53,920
Because the fans might not sing it to him anymore.

408
00:20:53,920 --> 00:21:00,320
I mean, he's already shown that he's willing to force his way out and even when things do

409
00:21:00,320 --> 00:21:03,440
collapse, he makes himself unavailable for the games.

410
00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:06,880
Like he's totally demonstrated that he would rather be elsewhere.

411
00:21:06,880 --> 00:21:10,000
And I'm sure the fans have picked up on that and I highly doubt they'll be singing his praises

412
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:10,640
any time soon.

413
00:21:11,280 --> 00:21:17,760
Oh, well, man, when your man scores an important goal and then you're overcome by

414
00:21:17,760 --> 00:21:21,360
emotion and joy, you do some things, bro.

415
00:21:21,360 --> 00:21:22,400
So maybe.

416
00:21:22,400 --> 00:21:24,000
Yes, I once broke at the show show.

417
00:21:24,640 --> 00:21:24,960
Yes.

418
00:21:24,960 --> 00:21:30,320
And like I don't blame you because it was a Grazia Noppelle bicycle kick on his first

419
00:21:30,320 --> 00:21:31,520
game back in the league.

420
00:21:31,520 --> 00:21:33,040
And on my Fanta.

421
00:21:33,040 --> 00:21:35,920
And you had picked him up on Fanta as well.

422
00:21:35,920 --> 00:21:36,720
Mental.

423
00:21:36,720 --> 00:21:37,440
Okay.

424
00:21:37,440 --> 00:21:38,480
20 minutes in.

425
00:21:38,480 --> 00:21:40,640
We finally get to talk about the matchday.

426
00:21:40,640 --> 00:21:42,000
Yeah, we have to do the rundown.

427
00:21:42,000 --> 00:21:43,440
Yeah, matchday seven.

428
00:21:43,440 --> 00:21:45,520
So let me give you guys a quick rundown over here.

429
00:21:45,520 --> 00:21:50,560
So probably the biggest game of the week was Milan Lazio and Milan managed a very,

430
00:21:50,560 --> 00:21:56,560
very clean 2-0 victory over Lazio over here with goals by new signings,

431
00:21:56,560 --> 00:21:58,480
Pulisic and Okofar.

432
00:21:58,480 --> 00:22:01,760
Good to mention that also left his streakers off the mark for Milan.

433
00:22:02,480 --> 00:22:04,640
Thanks to his midweek goal against Caliari.

434
00:22:04,640 --> 00:22:07,600
He's also picked up a knock and will be missing two games,

435
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:10,560
but we'll be back for the eventous game.

436
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:16,880
Atalanta, Nyl, Juve, Nyl was enough to make me very close to opening football manager

437
00:22:17,520 --> 00:22:18,880
halfway through this game.

438
00:22:18,880 --> 00:22:24,080
It was a bit of a KGF where both teams didn't quite get used to each other.

439
00:22:24,080 --> 00:22:26,640
And that did lead to the Nyl-Nyl stalemate.

440
00:22:26,640 --> 00:22:32,640
Few clear cut chances, but one phenomenal save by Vojciak Czesne denying Moriel's free kick.

441
00:22:32,640 --> 00:22:37,200
Salernita and Nyl inter four naturally, as Jake mentioned earlier,

442
00:22:37,200 --> 00:22:40,400
it was Lautaro Martinez who stole the headlines.

443
00:22:40,400 --> 00:22:45,600
Lecce Nyl, Napoli four, another four Nyl away victory over here.

444
00:22:45,600 --> 00:22:50,560
Where Geitano scored his first goal for Napoli and in great fashion,

445
00:22:50,560 --> 00:22:53,760
to be honest, I do think that was quite a contender,

446
00:22:53,760 --> 00:22:55,760
skip past a man and from outside the box,

447
00:22:55,760 --> 00:22:58,720
left the keeper rooted to the spot with a great, great strike.

448
00:22:58,720 --> 00:23:00,000
This was quite a good game.

449
00:23:00,000 --> 00:23:05,520
Roma two, Frozino, Nyl a brace for Romelu Locacco,

450
00:23:05,520 --> 00:23:09,520
had a super performance alongside the ball up front.

451
00:23:09,520 --> 00:23:11,520
Fiorentina three, Caliari Nyl.

452
00:23:11,520 --> 00:23:15,520
I think Nico Gonzalez is one of the best players in this game.

453
00:23:15,520 --> 00:23:18,640
The league so far this season, he's been phenomenal for them.

454
00:23:18,640 --> 00:23:21,680
And Fiorentina are still looking very good,

455
00:23:21,680 --> 00:23:24,160
just the one loss against Inter this season, man.

456
00:23:24,160 --> 00:23:27,920
Saswolo Nyl, Monza one, a very, very even affair.

457
00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:31,360
Surprise Monza, man, should get away with a one Nyl away victory over here,

458
00:23:31,360 --> 00:23:33,920
but classic Saswolo Robin Hood.

459
00:23:33,920 --> 00:23:38,800
Torino Nyl, Verona Nyl, a bit more of an exciting Nyl affair over here.

460
00:23:39,520 --> 00:23:43,360
Bologna three, Empoli Nyl, Ursulina Hatric,

461
00:23:43,360 --> 00:23:48,720
enough to get me a 17.5 from him on Fanta and a 6-1 victory over Lewis.

462
00:23:48,720 --> 00:23:49,600
Fuck you, Lewis.

463
00:23:50,880 --> 00:23:53,600
I think there is a two Genoa two.

464
00:23:53,600 --> 00:23:56,400
Genoa will be disappointed that they gave away a lead,

465
00:23:56,400 --> 00:24:02,080
especially when they conceded an own goal in around the 93rd minute

466
00:24:02,080 --> 00:24:03,360
from their substitute.

467
00:24:03,360 --> 00:24:05,920
So very, very unlucky for them over there,

468
00:24:05,920 --> 00:24:10,480
but a brilliant showing of Genoa spirit and their goal scoring prowess.

469
00:24:10,480 --> 00:24:12,080
They can't stop fucking scoring.

470
00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:14,240
They just put four past Roma.

471
00:24:14,240 --> 00:24:16,800
The year they are in Odine a couple of days later,

472
00:24:16,800 --> 00:24:20,880
scoring two away from home, which, okay, it's two goes away to Odineza,

473
00:24:20,880 --> 00:24:24,800
but this was a Serie B side last year with a new manager this year.

474
00:24:24,800 --> 00:24:27,440
It's not like these games are fucking easy for them, you know?

475
00:24:28,320 --> 00:24:32,080
Yes, as you correctly mentioned, Odineza are a seasoned Serie A side,

476
00:24:32,080 --> 00:24:35,200
Genoa are a side who have just come up from Serie B,

477
00:24:35,200 --> 00:24:40,080
who should be struggling way more than they are,

478
00:24:40,080 --> 00:24:43,760
to be honest with you, they have, of course, a B MVP of last season,

479
00:24:43,760 --> 00:24:44,720
Goodman's in over there.

480
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:45,760
We've spoken about them.

481
00:24:45,760 --> 00:24:49,680
You're probably already sick of hearing his name, but you better get used to it.

482
00:24:51,040 --> 00:24:51,920
Yeah, they have a good team.

483
00:24:51,920 --> 00:24:55,760
They have a solid foundation with players with, say, experience

484
00:24:55,760 --> 00:25:00,720
and the manager in Jilardino, who is hailed to be a fantastic,

485
00:25:00,720 --> 00:25:04,560
adaptable, man managing coach.

486
00:25:05,360 --> 00:25:06,800
He's fantastic, apparently.

487
00:25:06,800 --> 00:25:12,080
He's a, and apparently he, it's very clear and very easy to observe the way

488
00:25:12,080 --> 00:25:15,680
that he makes minor tweaks to his system on a weekly basis.

489
00:25:15,680 --> 00:25:19,360
So like, for example, let's say he plays a 4-3-3-1 week and he plays it the next week,

490
00:25:19,360 --> 00:25:24,160
you will clearly see a slight tweak in where to enthrong the previous season of it,

491
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:29,040
through a man change, through a change in movement on the pitch

492
00:25:29,040 --> 00:25:32,080
when you watch the way the formation comes together.

493
00:25:32,080 --> 00:25:36,960
Yeah, he's said to be with the next big thing in Italian management.

494
00:25:36,960 --> 00:25:39,360
Yeah, in fact, it's not the same formula you see every game with them.

495
00:25:39,360 --> 00:25:40,160
Never.

496
00:25:40,160 --> 00:25:41,200
They're liquid, man.

497
00:25:41,200 --> 00:25:44,800
They literally take different shapes on forums in every match,

498
00:25:44,800 --> 00:25:47,920
according to their opponents.

499
00:25:47,920 --> 00:25:50,080
Now, you look at Fresno and Estart, you look at Genoa,

500
00:25:50,080 --> 00:25:52,080
Estart, Fresno, they look insane.

501
00:25:52,080 --> 00:25:58,720
Don't get me wrong, they look fantastic, very fluid, very quick, very fast.

502
00:25:58,720 --> 00:26:02,160
But it is always like the same formula.

503
00:26:02,720 --> 00:26:05,920
I think Genoa can adapt more in that sense,

504
00:26:05,920 --> 00:26:09,760
that they could play a wider array of teams and drop less points.

505
00:26:09,760 --> 00:26:13,520
Whilst Fresno and Estart will just probably get you more shock victories,

506
00:26:13,520 --> 00:26:17,360
but over a consistent 38-match season,

507
00:26:18,800 --> 00:26:21,360
Genoa look prepared to stay up this season.

508
00:26:21,360 --> 00:26:22,880
This is the way I've used the difference,

509
00:26:22,880 --> 00:26:24,720
because Fresno and Estart both look good,

510
00:26:24,720 --> 00:26:26,160
but here's the difference in my opinion.

511
00:26:26,160 --> 00:26:31,520
Right? You have Genoa, who are a well-drilled team,

512
00:26:32,080 --> 00:26:35,200
who have players, who are capable of making the difference

513
00:26:35,200 --> 00:26:36,960
through individual brilliance.

514
00:26:36,960 --> 00:26:40,400
So if your tactical setup is not perfect,

515
00:26:40,400 --> 00:26:44,080
or is not quite effective, these players can still make the difference.

516
00:26:44,080 --> 00:26:47,600
Like Albert Goodman's in wiping out three players

517
00:26:47,600 --> 00:26:51,200
and playing a through ball, or just shooting it into the top corner,

518
00:26:51,200 --> 00:26:52,640
taking matters into his own feet.

519
00:26:52,640 --> 00:26:57,840
Fresno, on the other hand, are purely well-drilled.

520
00:26:57,840 --> 00:26:59,040
That's it.

521
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:00,800
When you look at the individual,

522
00:27:00,800 --> 00:27:04,080
there are a bunch of players towards the end of their careers

523
00:27:04,080 --> 00:27:08,000
who have experienced mid-20s players.

524
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:08,960
They're a fucking boner, man.

525
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:12,160
They're going like, they're drilling.

526
00:27:12,160 --> 00:27:15,760
They're hard as fuck.

527
00:27:15,760 --> 00:27:16,720
They are.

528
00:27:17,760 --> 00:27:22,400
With Fresno, the thing is, apart from their erections,

529
00:27:22,400 --> 00:27:27,760
and phallic situations, they have a bunch of players who are almost,

530
00:27:28,400 --> 00:27:31,280
I don't want to say rejects, but they're not prolific.

531
00:27:31,280 --> 00:27:34,080
They don't have any names of players who are prolific.

532
00:27:34,080 --> 00:27:36,720
They have players on loan from big teams,

533
00:27:36,720 --> 00:27:38,800
because they're not ready to start at these big teams.

534
00:27:38,800 --> 00:27:42,960
They have players who are playing at the likes of Sasuolo,

535
00:27:42,960 --> 00:27:44,880
who couldn't quite cut it at Sasuolo

536
00:27:44,880 --> 00:27:47,200
and have moved for a more prominent role.

537
00:27:47,200 --> 00:27:50,480
A Cremonez bench player who barely featured

538
00:27:50,480 --> 00:27:53,040
and say a lot of season and bias was getting minutes.

539
00:27:54,080 --> 00:27:58,400
Because for us, Fresno and I are a step in people's career,

540
00:27:58,400 --> 00:28:02,400
while Genoa are still a historically very successful team,

541
00:28:02,400 --> 00:28:04,560
and people are proud and honored to wear the badge.

542
00:28:04,560 --> 00:28:06,000
And Genoa have the finances.

543
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:12,320
Genoa are owned by 777 partners, an American business or a corporation,

544
00:28:12,320 --> 00:28:13,920
whatever, I don't know the term.

545
00:28:13,920 --> 00:28:16,080
But they're rich, and they're investing,

546
00:28:16,080 --> 00:28:18,560
and Genoa have clearly been on an upward trajectory

547
00:28:18,560 --> 00:28:20,800
from when they took over with blessing and say,

548
00:28:20,800 --> 00:28:22,640
yeah, when they already relegated essentially,

549
00:28:22,640 --> 00:28:24,400
we could already see the signs.

550
00:28:24,400 --> 00:28:28,400
They got relegated in the end, which was inevitable,

551
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:29,280
because of the terrible start.

552
00:28:29,280 --> 00:28:31,200
They had their previous owners on the uncertainty

553
00:28:31,200 --> 00:28:32,960
and starting the season without a sponsor

554
00:28:32,960 --> 00:28:35,360
and getting absolutely destroyed by Inter, remember that?

555
00:28:35,360 --> 00:28:36,080
Yeah, yeah.

556
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:43,840
So yeah, now they're witnessing the fruits of their labor.

557
00:28:43,840 --> 00:28:44,880
Yes, yes.

558
00:28:45,600 --> 00:28:48,480
Let's jump into the first match of match day seven.

559
00:28:48,480 --> 00:28:50,320
No, like 28 minutes.

560
00:28:50,320 --> 00:28:50,960
That's great.

561
00:28:50,960 --> 00:28:51,440
We're fine.

562
00:28:51,440 --> 00:28:51,840
That's good.

563
00:28:51,840 --> 00:28:52,160
That's good.

564
00:28:52,160 --> 00:28:55,040
We managed to kill match day six in 30 minutes,

565
00:28:55,040 --> 00:28:57,920
and like the intro to match day seven, so fuck it.

566
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,600
But we start with you, Brello.

567
00:29:00,480 --> 00:29:03,040
Milan 2, Lazio Nile.

568
00:29:03,040 --> 00:29:05,040
Milan extender on beaten home,

569
00:29:05,040 --> 00:29:09,520
say a hit the head record, one of impressive 12 games.

570
00:29:09,520 --> 00:29:12,480
Temporarily reclaim the top spot, as well as in the table.

571
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:14,160
It was only temporarily, because of course,

572
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:16,400
Inter absolutely demolished Salernetana

573
00:29:16,400 --> 00:29:18,240
and leapfrogged Milan over there.

574
00:29:18,240 --> 00:29:21,040
There have been no draws in the last 10 encounters

575
00:29:21,040 --> 00:29:22,320
between Milan and Lazio.

576
00:29:22,320 --> 00:29:25,520
Seven wins for Milan, and the last one was 2-0-2,

577
00:29:25,520 --> 00:29:28,640
and this was in May 2023.

578
00:29:28,640 --> 00:29:30,640
Now let's get into the lineups.

579
00:29:30,640 --> 00:29:33,200
For Milan, it was a 4-3-3 formation,

580
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:34,880
pretty orthodox this season.

581
00:29:34,880 --> 00:29:37,040
Mike Manjane in goal, Calabria on the right,

582
00:29:37,040 --> 00:29:40,480
Hernandez on the left with Kier and Tomori in the middle.

583
00:29:40,480 --> 00:29:45,120
Loftus, Treak and Reinders flanked Yassine Adley in the middle,

584
00:29:45,120 --> 00:29:48,400
who since our last podcast episode has had two starts.

585
00:29:48,400 --> 00:29:52,720
In his first start, he contributed to Le Vombo's goal,

586
00:29:52,720 --> 00:29:54,320
inadvertently of course,

587
00:29:54,320 --> 00:29:56,240
but in this game he had a much better game,

588
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,800
and overall looked pretty solid and exciting.

589
00:29:58,800 --> 00:30:00,080
Poulissic was out on the right,

590
00:30:00,080 --> 00:30:03,520
Lea was out on the left, and Giroud was up front.

591
00:30:03,520 --> 00:30:06,640
For Sarri's men, it was also a 4-3-3 formation,

592
00:30:06,640 --> 00:30:08,000
with Providele in goal,

593
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:09,840
Hisai on the left, Mara Sircha on the right,

594
00:30:09,840 --> 00:30:11,440
Tressaal and Romanio Ali at the back,

595
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:14,240
with Luis Alberto Rovell and Guendouzi in the middle.

596
00:30:14,240 --> 00:30:15,920
Zacani was out on the left,

597
00:30:15,920 --> 00:30:18,000
Anderson was out on the right,

598
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:21,280
and Castellanios got the nod over Immobile.

599
00:30:21,280 --> 00:30:24,000
Yes, with Immobile being fit.

600
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:28,000
Yes, this was expected almost, because...

601
00:30:28,880 --> 00:30:30,000
Sorry, I'm burping.

602
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:33,360
Lotito approached Sarri, apparently,

603
00:30:33,360 --> 00:30:36,480
or could be seen signalling to Sarri

604
00:30:36,480 --> 00:30:38,400
that he wanted Castellanios to come on.

605
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,040
Apparently, Lotito's been basically putting pressure on Sarri

606
00:30:41,040 --> 00:30:44,080
to play Castellanios ahead of Immobile.

607
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:47,120
Yeah, I know, right? Crazy, crazy.

608
00:30:47,120 --> 00:30:48,880
Okay.

609
00:30:48,880 --> 00:30:50,080
Let the man do his job.

610
00:30:50,080 --> 00:30:52,240
He was fit for the role.

611
00:30:52,240 --> 00:30:54,400
Now, it doesn't matter what your opinion is,

612
00:30:54,400 --> 00:30:56,720
if you hire a manager, he's gonna manage.

613
00:30:56,720 --> 00:30:57,680
Yeah, yeah.

614
00:30:58,800 --> 00:30:59,680
Play by play.

615
00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,760
Both teams had their chances in the opening minutes,

616
00:31:01,760 --> 00:31:05,600
with Felipe Andresen testing Maneon with a near post strike.

617
00:31:05,600 --> 00:31:08,400
The game was an even contest until Rafael Leao

618
00:31:08,400 --> 00:31:11,840
began to make his presence felt with his usual dynamic runs.

619
00:31:11,840 --> 00:31:14,400
His efforts forced Pravidal into near post saves,

620
00:31:14,400 --> 00:31:17,520
like the usual chaos with Leao.

621
00:31:17,520 --> 00:31:18,800
As the first half progressed,

622
00:31:18,800 --> 00:31:21,200
Milan had the golden opportunity to break the deadlock

623
00:31:21,200 --> 00:31:23,120
when Olivier Giroud's initial shot

624
00:31:23,120 --> 00:31:25,200
led to Tiani Reinder's follow-up,

625
00:31:25,200 --> 00:31:27,920
which unfortunately for him, clipped the post.

626
00:31:27,920 --> 00:31:30,160
It was a pretty good opportunity, wasn't it, brother?

627
00:31:30,160 --> 00:31:33,200
Yeah, but he was wrong footed, wasn't he, man?

628
00:31:33,200 --> 00:31:34,080
He was.

629
00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:35,360
I can't tell, but look at that and say

630
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:36,960
that has to be a guaranteed goal.

631
00:31:36,960 --> 00:31:37,440
Yes, yes.

632
00:31:37,440 --> 00:31:40,080
But his stance was a little bit off.

633
00:31:40,080 --> 00:31:41,840
He wasn't expecting that, you know?

634
00:31:41,840 --> 00:31:42,880
Yeah, yeah, that's true.

635
00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:46,480
The second half started without any clear-cut chances

636
00:31:46,480 --> 00:31:49,200
until the 60th minute when Milan made the breakthrough.

637
00:31:49,200 --> 00:31:52,480
Rafael Leao was once again instrumental driving to the byline

638
00:31:52,480 --> 00:31:54,960
and pulling back to an unmarked policy

639
00:31:54,960 --> 00:31:57,920
who calmly slotted in his third, say,

640
00:31:57,920 --> 00:32:00,720
Goal Captain America has truly arrived.

641
00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:06,160
Eunice or Eunice, Moussa, substituting for the injured,

642
00:32:06,160 --> 00:32:08,880
Ruben Lofterskrieg came close to adding a second

643
00:32:08,880 --> 00:32:11,840
for Milan as Lazio struggled to find their footing.

644
00:32:11,840 --> 00:32:15,360
Neither team had scored a goal after the 75th minute

645
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:19,680
in Serie A this season, which didn't bode well for Lazio at all.

646
00:32:21,120 --> 00:32:23,920
One of the key players for Milan was Florenzi,

647
00:32:23,920 --> 00:32:25,680
this game who won the 85th minute.

648
00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,200
When the score line was still 1-0,

649
00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:31,040
made a crucial block on Lazio's Gustav Isaksen

650
00:32:31,040 --> 00:32:34,080
after a solo run, a brilliant block over there

651
00:32:34,080 --> 00:32:35,440
by the budget de Marco.

652
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:37,680
In the dying minutes of the game,

653
00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,520
Milan secured the victory as Leao

654
00:32:39,520 --> 00:32:41,280
raised down the left wing as usual

655
00:32:41,280 --> 00:32:43,280
and set up substitute Noh Okofo

656
00:32:43,280 --> 00:32:46,000
confidently scored his second goal of the week,

657
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:48,800
although Pedro managed a spectacular reply for Lazio.

658
00:32:48,800 --> 00:32:50,480
It was ruled offside.

659
00:32:51,040 --> 00:32:51,440
Yes, sir.

660
00:32:53,200 --> 00:32:56,400
Giro Mopola keeping him onside, make what you will of that.

661
00:32:57,360 --> 00:33:01,200
With this win, Milan continued their three-game winning streak

662
00:33:01,200 --> 00:33:03,040
while Lazio remained stranded in the mid-table

663
00:33:03,040 --> 00:33:06,400
after a challenging drink start this year, a campaign.

664
00:33:06,400 --> 00:33:08,640
Bro, safe to say Milan dominated this game,

665
00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:11,040
for me, best performance of the season so far.

666
00:33:11,040 --> 00:33:12,160
What do you make of it?

667
00:33:12,160 --> 00:33:16,000
Yes, so it was always interesting to see

668
00:33:16,000 --> 00:33:19,280
how Milan were going to adapt after they lost against Inter,

669
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:23,760
which was followed by a weird nil-nil draw mid-week

670
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:26,640
to Newcastle, even though Milan dominated that game.

671
00:33:26,640 --> 00:33:28,720
But here we're starting to see Milan

672
00:33:28,720 --> 00:33:30,160
really getting their confidence back

673
00:33:30,160 --> 00:33:33,280
and being that offensive team that they want to be.

674
00:33:33,280 --> 00:33:37,280
We have now seen Milan get past Lazio with the score of 2-0.

675
00:33:37,280 --> 00:33:40,480
We've seen them get past Roma with the score of 2-1.

676
00:33:40,480 --> 00:33:43,760
What happened against Inter happened against Inter,

677
00:33:43,760 --> 00:33:45,440
but at least Milan are really showing

678
00:33:45,440 --> 00:33:47,280
that they are a force to be reckoned with.

679
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,280
At the moment, Lazio aren't there.

680
00:33:49,280 --> 00:33:53,280
At the moment, a club like Lazio, with the start,

681
00:33:53,280 --> 00:33:56,960
they've had the difference in momentum between Milan and Lazio

682
00:33:56,960 --> 00:34:01,920
as far too steep to put these teams up against each other.

683
00:34:01,920 --> 00:34:04,160
Up against each other so early on.

684
00:34:04,160 --> 00:34:06,480
And I think it was a clean victory for Milan.

685
00:34:07,600 --> 00:34:09,280
Dominated is a strong word.

686
00:34:09,280 --> 00:34:12,080
I think it was a very, very, very clean victory.

687
00:34:12,080 --> 00:34:13,600
It was a clean victory, totally.

688
00:34:13,600 --> 00:34:16,400
I mean, Lazio, I can't remember them really threatening

689
00:34:16,400 --> 00:34:19,360
apart from Pedro's disallowed goal.

690
00:34:19,360 --> 00:34:21,840
Of course, I think Milan kept them quite quiet.

691
00:34:21,840 --> 00:34:24,240
Yes, Luis Alberto looked frustrated from the get-go.

692
00:34:24,240 --> 00:34:25,840
I don't know what it is.

693
00:34:25,840 --> 00:34:27,760
Milan have Lazio quite figured out, man.

694
00:34:27,760 --> 00:34:31,040
And just as Inter have Milan completely figured out

695
00:34:31,040 --> 00:34:33,120
and Nczagi knows Piolli inside out,

696
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,520
apparently maybe it's the same thing with Piolli and Sarri.

697
00:34:35,520 --> 00:34:38,320
Maybe Piolli has totally figured out Sarri right now.

698
00:34:38,320 --> 00:34:41,120
I mean, you could say that, but Milan also lost four in ill

699
00:34:41,120 --> 00:34:43,680
against Lazio last season, so...

700
00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:44,560
That's a fair point.

701
00:34:46,800 --> 00:34:47,680
Yeah, that was a crisis.

702
00:34:48,480 --> 00:34:50,080
But it's one of those cases.

703
00:34:50,080 --> 00:34:55,200
Milan can beat anyone, but they can get mecked.

704
00:34:56,320 --> 00:34:57,200
Mecked.

705
00:34:57,200 --> 00:34:59,840
There are like five teams that can meck Milan.

706
00:34:59,840 --> 00:35:02,960
Yes, yes, when it starts to go badly, it can go very badly.

707
00:35:02,960 --> 00:35:05,360
That's one of Milan's kryptonite.

708
00:35:06,400 --> 00:35:08,960
Okay, bro, so let's look at Rafael Leal, a fantastic player.

709
00:35:08,960 --> 00:35:10,320
We all know he's a fantastic player,

710
00:35:10,320 --> 00:35:12,640
probably the best player in the league, arguably.

711
00:35:12,640 --> 00:35:15,680
I mean, it's not as close this season as it was last season.

712
00:35:16,480 --> 00:35:20,480
But he's proven himself and say, yeah, he's one-eth,

713
00:35:20,480 --> 00:35:22,480
he's one MVP, whatever.

714
00:35:23,200 --> 00:35:25,280
Do you think he still needs to prove himself

715
00:35:25,280 --> 00:35:27,840
on an international stage, on a European stage?

716
00:35:27,840 --> 00:35:30,320
For example, let's look at the Newcastle game, for example.

717
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:34,640
Yes, because the culture of football that we live in at the moment

718
00:35:34,640 --> 00:35:38,880
puts competitions like the Champions League naturally on a pedestal.

719
00:35:40,240 --> 00:35:41,120
That's number one.

720
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:45,520
Number two is Serie A's not on a pedestal at all,

721
00:35:45,520 --> 00:35:47,120
and the Premier League is.

722
00:35:49,280 --> 00:35:54,800
And to an extent, La Liga more than Serie A,

723
00:35:54,800 --> 00:35:57,680
because you do it for Real and you do it for Barça.

724
00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,440
Barça, and then it's like you made it.

725
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:00,080
You know what I mean?

726
00:36:02,080 --> 00:36:03,680
Yes, to answer your question,

727
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,360
he's not going to be relevant to the world of football

728
00:36:08,160 --> 00:36:12,800
until he goes on a crazy showing in an entire Champions League campaign.

729
00:36:12,800 --> 00:36:14,480
But then I would argue with you, Grant,

730
00:36:14,480 --> 00:36:16,880
it was an all-Italian semifinal,

731
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:20,880
but he did it against an all-Italian quarter-final, rather, sorry.

732
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:24,080
But he did do it on an international stage against Napoli.

733
00:36:24,640 --> 00:36:26,880
Yes, but he did it once, right?

734
00:36:26,880 --> 00:36:27,680
That's it.

735
00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:28,800
Yeah, but the thing is,

736
00:36:30,160 --> 00:36:33,440
Rafael Laos should be considered as one of the greatest places in the world.

737
00:36:33,440 --> 00:36:34,240
There's no words, right?

738
00:36:34,240 --> 00:36:34,880
At the moment.

739
00:36:34,880 --> 00:36:35,840
My question is essentially.

740
00:36:35,840 --> 00:36:36,800
I'm not talking about our opinion.

741
00:36:36,800 --> 00:36:42,960
It's about a lot of normies that consider themselves football fans,

742
00:36:42,960 --> 00:36:48,400
but don't watch or at least don't research a lot of leagues

743
00:36:48,400 --> 00:36:50,240
and just focus on one,

744
00:36:50,240 --> 00:36:52,160
which is fine, you can focus on the league that you love,

745
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:55,600
but then don't tell me whether or not Laos is a good player

746
00:36:55,600 --> 00:36:59,280
if you're only watching league on or whatever.

747
00:36:59,280 --> 00:37:04,720
The thing is, that was my question, mostly, worded terribly with preparation.

748
00:37:04,720 --> 00:37:05,280
Nice one.

749
00:37:06,560 --> 00:37:09,360
What's stopping people from mentioning Laos

750
00:37:09,360 --> 00:37:12,800
and their top fucking five players, top ten players in the world?

751
00:37:12,800 --> 00:37:14,160
It's that easy.

752
00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:17,120
The fact that he hasn't made himself cemented a starting spot

753
00:37:17,120 --> 00:37:18,880
in for the Portuguese team,

754
00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:22,640
hasn't really made the difference in Champions League consistently yet.

755
00:37:22,640 --> 00:37:23,680
That's probably it, right?

756
00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,040
Yeah, it has to be.

757
00:37:25,040 --> 00:37:25,760
It has to be.

758
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:29,760
And there's also all this is a case of relevancy.

759
00:37:29,760 --> 00:37:33,440
And at the moment, relevancy comes with the money.

760
00:37:33,440 --> 00:37:34,960
And you know what has the money?

761
00:37:34,960 --> 00:37:37,440
The Premier League doesn't have the money, Serie A.

762
00:37:38,080 --> 00:37:42,160
So at the moment, naturally, the reach and the marketing

763
00:37:42,160 --> 00:37:46,320
that certain leagues have is far, far more superior

764
00:37:47,120 --> 00:37:50,000
than the one that's available at Serie A.

765
00:37:50,000 --> 00:37:54,160
Bro, you see John Stone scratches balls and it's a TikTok.

766
00:37:54,160 --> 00:37:58,320
Like there are TikTok compilations of John Stones looking left to right

767
00:37:58,320 --> 00:37:59,600
and scratching his nuts.

768
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:01,360
You know what I mean?

769
00:38:01,360 --> 00:38:05,680
And then you can't find anything about certain Serie A players or Serie A teams

770
00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:06,640
or Serie A managers.

771
00:38:06,640 --> 00:38:10,320
And then they head over to the Prem like there's air be that a couple of good games.

772
00:38:10,320 --> 00:38:13,680
And suddenly they're kind of even overhyped.

773
00:38:14,960 --> 00:38:17,760
It's this crazy, crazy thing that they do.

774
00:38:17,760 --> 00:38:20,720
They hate him or they love him.

775
00:38:20,720 --> 00:38:21,840
It's wicked, man.

776
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:24,400
That's it because extremes are what get clicks.

777
00:38:24,400 --> 00:38:24,640
Exactly.

778
00:38:24,640 --> 00:38:26,560
They're not going to get clicks going being level headed.

779
00:38:27,440 --> 00:38:29,920
But anyway, anyway, whatever, let's get back to the game.

780
00:38:30,480 --> 00:38:31,760
Adley Regista thoughts.

781
00:38:32,640 --> 00:38:34,880
I'm good, good, solid.

782
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:36,240
But is it good as in?

783
00:38:36,880 --> 00:38:38,640
Good as in he's getting as in good.

784
00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:43,280
It's possible or is it good as in all right for me?

785
00:38:43,280 --> 00:38:43,920
It's not the solution.

786
00:38:43,920 --> 00:38:45,440
Dortmund tomorrow.

787
00:38:45,440 --> 00:38:47,280
Adley Regista.

788
00:38:47,280 --> 00:38:48,080
Is that the way it is?

789
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:53,440
So no significant worries over there.

790
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:56,720
Still a big loss to still be losing out on someone like Ben Aser

791
00:38:57,920 --> 00:39:00,880
or Kronechusso used to it and is used to that stage.

792
00:39:00,880 --> 00:39:09,200
Adley is still green, but you could see very significant glimpses of insanity.

793
00:39:10,000 --> 00:39:13,360
He does certain things that that is beautiful.

794
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:17,280
His ball control, his close ball control is insane.

795
00:39:17,280 --> 00:39:21,760
The way he attracts pressure and then releases the ball and creates space for his teammates

796
00:39:21,760 --> 00:39:26,960
by hanging on to the ball for an extra second, which also results in exhausting his opponents

797
00:39:26,960 --> 00:39:27,760
is very, very good.

798
00:39:27,760 --> 00:39:29,040
He's very calm.

799
00:39:29,040 --> 00:39:32,400
He's clearly very liked by the team and he raises the morale of the team.

800
00:39:34,000 --> 00:39:35,200
Not polished.

801
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:36,320
No, not refined.

802
00:39:36,320 --> 00:39:38,320
And that's exactly the main point.

803
00:39:38,320 --> 00:39:40,880
I do like the audacious balls that he tries to play.

804
00:39:40,880 --> 00:39:42,960
And I haven't seen those balls.

805
00:39:42,960 --> 00:39:49,280
Of course, excuse the hyperbole since Perilov, of course, because of course,

806
00:39:49,280 --> 00:39:54,080
Adley is nothing compared to Perilov, but watching a six at Milan

807
00:39:54,080 --> 00:40:00,080
play balls over the top, over the wings like that so consistently was reminding me of him.

808
00:40:00,080 --> 00:40:00,880
Fuck you, we disagree.

809
00:40:01,920 --> 00:40:07,040
No, the weird to say about the pitch looked bigger with Adley.

810
00:40:07,040 --> 00:40:08,720
Yeah, you can stretch it more.

811
00:40:08,720 --> 00:40:10,640
Now, of course, he is rusty.

812
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:16,320
Of course, he is definitely not polished and I don't think he's exactly ready for certain

813
00:40:16,320 --> 00:40:17,200
matchups.

814
00:40:17,200 --> 00:40:20,320
He did impress against Lazio and he did play very well.

815
00:40:20,960 --> 00:40:23,440
To me, it was almost a perfect game.

816
00:40:24,880 --> 00:40:30,560
I like how we spoke because naturally Milan fans who all love Adley,

817
00:40:30,560 --> 00:40:34,160
Milan typically love Adley because he's such a character kind of thing.

818
00:40:35,200 --> 00:40:38,080
And they would naturally get very carried away about his performance,

819
00:40:38,080 --> 00:40:42,480
but he spoke after the game and he was like, this is just the beginning.

820
00:40:43,200 --> 00:40:46,160
I'm not celebrating anything like I still have so much work to do.

821
00:40:46,160 --> 00:40:46,880
I'm not happy.

822
00:40:46,880 --> 00:40:49,120
Everyone is happy, but I'm not happy.

823
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,000
Yeah, totally.

824
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:54,480
Bro, before we move on to Lazio, Calabria or Florenci?

825
00:40:55,680 --> 00:40:56,800
No, Calabria.

826
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:57,440
Calabria.

827
00:40:57,440 --> 00:40:58,160
I agree.

828
00:40:58,160 --> 00:41:01,920
I heard otherwise on certain platforms and I wanted to know your opinion.

829
00:41:01,920 --> 00:41:03,200
What a great vice to have.

830
00:41:03,200 --> 00:41:03,600
But Calabria.

831
00:41:03,600 --> 00:41:06,080
Yes, I think Florenci has been very solid.

832
00:41:06,080 --> 00:41:09,200
And to be honest, this is the best I've seen him in a Milan shirt.

833
00:41:09,200 --> 00:41:10,800
I'm not a big fan of the player.

834
00:41:11,840 --> 00:41:19,040
I don't think he's quite as refined as he should be for someone who's in his 30s.

835
00:41:20,240 --> 00:41:24,720
You know, I don't think he inserts himself and he inserts himself well enough into games.

836
00:41:25,360 --> 00:41:28,000
But yeah, I mean, he had long term injuries.

837
00:41:28,560 --> 00:41:29,760
He's a former Roma player.

838
00:41:29,760 --> 00:41:31,200
He has a lot to kind of try to get.

839
00:41:31,200 --> 00:41:35,360
And he's unique with his long range shooting and all that.

840
00:41:35,360 --> 00:41:37,920
Yeah, I'm telling you, budget, demarc, demarc from Wich.

841
00:41:37,920 --> 00:41:38,560
100%.

842
00:41:38,560 --> 00:41:41,280
Yeah, nice to see, of course, Milan's new signings doing well,

843
00:41:41,280 --> 00:41:42,960
Pulisic scoring is third of the season.

844
00:41:43,840 --> 00:41:48,880
Ruben Loftus-Rick played the very, was playing well until he was forced off through injury.

845
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:53,200
He will be back after the break off, Ocophore scoring his second goal of the week.

846
00:41:53,200 --> 00:41:56,880
Funnily enough, we always contrast the Ocophore with Jiru.

847
00:41:58,720 --> 00:42:03,280
Due to the fact that the Ocophore can search defenses and you can try to play him in behind

848
00:42:03,280 --> 00:42:06,000
where Jiru is more of a fox in the box type of player.

849
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:10,560
And both Ocophores two goals where Fox in the box poacher.

850
00:42:10,560 --> 00:42:11,440
Yeah, that's true.

851
00:42:12,080 --> 00:42:15,520
That's so funny to me, you know, like so, so ironic.

852
00:42:15,520 --> 00:42:17,520
But anyway, nice to see that he can actually do that,

853
00:42:17,520 --> 00:42:18,800
because that was my main concern.

854
00:42:18,800 --> 00:42:21,280
Can Ocophore be useful in these tight situations in the box?

855
00:42:21,280 --> 00:42:22,080
Is he good in the box?

856
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:24,000
Yeah, he's good in the box, man.

857
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:25,280
He's a very good poacher.

858
00:42:25,280 --> 00:42:26,240
100%.

859
00:42:26,240 --> 00:42:27,920
But yes, lots of your struggles, brother.

860
00:42:28,560 --> 00:42:29,200
Yeah.

861
00:42:29,200 --> 00:42:30,160
Let's go, man.

862
00:42:30,160 --> 00:42:30,880
What's the problem?

863
00:42:30,880 --> 00:42:33,520
Is it the mobile, is it the system?

864
00:42:33,520 --> 00:42:35,200
What's the problem with Lazio, man?

865
00:42:35,200 --> 00:42:38,480
Oh, man, what's the day of Celtic in the Champions League yet?

866
00:42:38,480 --> 00:42:40,400
You know, it's a tough one for them.

867
00:42:40,400 --> 00:42:41,360
What's going on?

868
00:42:41,360 --> 00:42:45,760
I mean, I don't know what's going on.

869
00:42:45,760 --> 00:42:51,040
I look at their lineup and naturally there seems to be some kind of,

870
00:42:52,320 --> 00:42:59,200
obviously, yes, again, oh my God, yes, they lost a sem-s and Jiru's out.

871
00:42:59,200 --> 00:43:02,560
That, that, bro, that is literally the issue.

872
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:06,320
You get a team, the team that Lazio were last season,

873
00:43:07,040 --> 00:43:10,320
with 11 men that have been playing together for ages.

874
00:43:11,040 --> 00:43:13,120
And then you lose out on your Kymid fielder,

875
00:43:13,120 --> 00:43:16,800
and actually Sergey by moving to Saudi.

876
00:43:16,800 --> 00:43:18,560
And Imoblaz aged another year,

877
00:43:18,560 --> 00:43:22,320
and it does seem like that this year was way more significant.

878
00:43:24,240 --> 00:43:26,160
So you take those out of the equation.

879
00:43:26,160 --> 00:43:30,640
Naturally, the team gets weaker and what that does is it makes the manager react.

880
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:34,560
So the manager brings in Rovella, the manager brings in Guendouzi,

881
00:43:34,560 --> 00:43:37,600
the manager brings in Tati Castellanos,

882
00:43:37,600 --> 00:43:39,200
the manager brings in Camada,

883
00:43:39,200 --> 00:43:42,400
and suddenly you've got a team that is weakened

884
00:43:42,400 --> 00:43:45,520
and they're trying to compensate with bringing in new players

885
00:43:45,520 --> 00:43:47,840
that aren't used to it yet, which is fine.

886
00:43:47,840 --> 00:43:51,760
It's what you have to do, but you need to suffer for a season or so.

887
00:43:51,760 --> 00:43:54,240
Now, are Napoli going to be a mid-table team all season?

888
00:43:54,240 --> 00:43:55,680
No, absolutely not.

889
00:43:55,680 --> 00:43:59,120
But let them get their footing together.

890
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:03,200
They can't go up against Milan at Sun-zero and get a point,

891
00:44:03,200 --> 00:44:06,560
or even more so get three points over there.

892
00:44:06,560 --> 00:44:09,840
It's just the stage that Wotlacio are in right now,

893
00:44:09,840 --> 00:44:11,920
and that stage is growth.

894
00:44:11,920 --> 00:44:14,080
They had, they came second last season,

895
00:44:14,080 --> 00:44:15,600
which is one of their greatest achievements

896
00:44:15,600 --> 00:44:17,440
in the past 10 years, barring the Coppa.

897
00:44:18,720 --> 00:44:22,160
And if they don't match their greatest achievement,

898
00:44:22,160 --> 00:44:23,920
then it's suddenly a failure.

899
00:44:23,920 --> 00:44:26,720
But if you look at the entire story

900
00:44:26,720 --> 00:44:28,640
and where Wotlacio are right now,

901
00:44:28,640 --> 00:44:31,840
they have to get their shit together this season,

902
00:44:31,840 --> 00:44:33,120
and they'll be better next season.

903
00:44:33,120 --> 00:44:34,160
It's as simple as that.

904
00:44:34,160 --> 00:44:37,920
Look, I view Sarri's time at Wotlacio as very temporary.

905
00:44:37,920 --> 00:44:40,080
Like, if you look at this Wotlacio team over here,

906
00:44:40,080 --> 00:44:44,240
and you look at the players who have grown accustomed to Sarri ball,

907
00:44:44,240 --> 00:44:46,000
right, his philosophy, let's take a look.

908
00:44:46,000 --> 00:44:46,480
So we have...

909
00:44:48,400 --> 00:44:50,640
Hisai hasn't been there for too long,

910
00:44:50,640 --> 00:44:51,440
but let's count him.

911
00:44:51,440 --> 00:44:53,520
Romanio Littrasale, Mara Susham Prabhide,

912
00:44:53,520 --> 00:44:54,640
okay, they're all used to it.

913
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,760
Now, how many of those players are actually average or above average?

914
00:44:57,760 --> 00:44:59,760
Let's say how many of these players are actually above average.

915
00:45:00,320 --> 00:45:01,600
Provedal.

916
00:45:01,600 --> 00:45:02,240
Three, exactly.

917
00:45:02,240 --> 00:45:04,480
So the people, Romanio Littrasale.

918
00:45:04,480 --> 00:45:07,520
The full backs are average.

919
00:45:07,520 --> 00:45:09,280
Put anyone there instead of them.

920
00:45:09,280 --> 00:45:09,840
Exactly.

921
00:45:09,840 --> 00:45:13,680
Like, it's okay, they're sound defensively,

922
00:45:13,680 --> 00:45:15,840
hisai and Mara Sush, they can put in a shift,

923
00:45:15,840 --> 00:45:17,040
they'll work tirelessly.

924
00:45:17,040 --> 00:45:18,800
They're kind of like the mold of that,

925
00:45:20,080 --> 00:45:22,160
the raw do's of back in the day,

926
00:45:22,160 --> 00:45:23,520
and there was another one I can't...

927
00:45:23,520 --> 00:45:24,960
His name escapes me right now.

928
00:45:24,960 --> 00:45:26,640
There was, at the same time of raw,

929
00:45:27,680 --> 00:45:29,040
he had blonde hair.

930
00:45:29,040 --> 00:45:31,120
No, no, no, he had an itch.

931
00:45:31,120 --> 00:45:33,840
Red dark-skinned gentleman with blonde hair,

932
00:45:33,840 --> 00:45:35,600
for a while he had gone to Fiorentina,

933
00:45:35,600 --> 00:45:37,760
though he was a right back and a left back.

934
00:45:37,760 --> 00:45:39,120
Dalbers, what are you talking about?

935
00:45:40,080 --> 00:45:41,200
God, God.

936
00:45:41,200 --> 00:45:42,480
I'm talking about an itch.

937
00:45:44,720 --> 00:45:47,360
Lulic, Lulic, Lulic.

938
00:45:47,360 --> 00:45:48,400
Okay, Lulic.

939
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:50,880
Yes, they're that type of mold,

940
00:45:50,880 --> 00:45:55,680
that type of average defender who is good against a small team

941
00:45:55,680 --> 00:45:57,600
when you have the lead, like, and you need to maintain,

942
00:45:57,600 --> 00:45:58,320
you know what I mean?

943
00:45:58,320 --> 00:45:59,760
Okay, so let's move on to the midfield,

944
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:01,600
Rovel and Gwendoos in New.

945
00:46:01,600 --> 00:46:04,880
Luis Alberto, great player, fantastic player,

946
00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:06,800
has been with Sarri for a few years now.

947
00:46:07,680 --> 00:46:10,240
However, a bit difficult to manage,

948
00:46:10,240 --> 00:46:11,920
and maybe when things aren't going perfectly his way,

949
00:46:11,920 --> 00:46:12,960
he doesn't comply.

950
00:46:12,960 --> 00:46:15,520
Perfectly, and maybe he does his own thing ever so slightly.

951
00:46:15,520 --> 00:46:17,360
Or maybe he's not a perfect example.

952
00:46:17,360 --> 00:46:20,640
He doesn't share the same philosophy as Sarri

953
00:46:20,640 --> 00:46:22,080
or he doesn't believe in Sarri's philosophy.

954
00:46:22,080 --> 00:46:23,200
He's more of a libero.

955
00:46:23,200 --> 00:46:26,880
He's not going to play these dynamic fucking possible moves.

956
00:46:26,880 --> 00:46:28,880
Yeah, he's one of those players that like,

957
00:46:28,880 --> 00:46:32,160
he would appreciate not being told what to do

958
00:46:32,160 --> 00:46:34,720
and let his creativity shine on the pitch.

959
00:46:34,720 --> 00:46:36,400
But with a manager like that,

960
00:46:37,120 --> 00:46:39,040
all respect to the manager and the player,

961
00:46:39,040 --> 00:46:41,600
the manager tries to get them to play a system,

962
00:46:41,600 --> 00:46:42,800
while the player is like,

963
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:44,800
but I perform best when I'm given freedom.

964
00:46:45,680 --> 00:46:47,200
And then you have Zakan, who knows it,

965
00:46:47,200 --> 00:46:49,760
Anderson who knows it, and then Castellanius who's new.

966
00:46:49,760 --> 00:46:52,080
Or a mobile who knows it, but is a year older.

967
00:46:52,720 --> 00:46:54,640
Now the problem over here is that, okay,

968
00:46:54,640 --> 00:46:58,400
so Sarri is implementing his system into a team,

969
00:46:59,040 --> 00:47:01,120
which is losing its best players.

970
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,040
And the players that he's actually feeling don't know his system very well.

971
00:47:05,040 --> 00:47:06,720
Now I don't know how much of a say Sarri has

972
00:47:06,720 --> 00:47:08,960
when it comes into the recruitment of the team,

973
00:47:08,960 --> 00:47:11,440
but knowing Metallion teams and the way they operate,

974
00:47:11,440 --> 00:47:13,120
and Lotito's personality,

975
00:47:13,120 --> 00:47:15,600
I'm sure he just gives him whatever he fucking wants to give him.

976
00:47:16,640 --> 00:47:17,200
Probably.

977
00:47:17,200 --> 00:47:19,360
But anyway, my thought Milan deserved this.

978
00:47:19,360 --> 00:47:21,600
His victory, and I thought it was quite convincing,

979
00:47:21,600 --> 00:47:23,680
and they looked great, quite frankly.

980
00:47:23,680 --> 00:47:26,560
Yeah, there's an update on Loftus Cheeks' injury.

981
00:47:26,560 --> 00:47:27,840
I know I mentioned it in the beginning,

982
00:47:27,840 --> 00:47:30,400
but it seems fitting to say it now that we've covered the game.

983
00:47:30,960 --> 00:47:33,120
He's going to be missing the Dortmund game.

984
00:47:33,120 --> 00:47:34,800
He's going to be missing the weekend game,

985
00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:36,480
and I can't seem to remember, bro.

986
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:40,560
Who Milan are playing next weekend?

987
00:47:40,560 --> 00:47:41,360
It's Genoa.

988
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:46,320
It's Genoa away, which is frightening for Milan.

989
00:47:46,320 --> 00:47:47,200
It's very frightening.

990
00:47:47,200 --> 00:47:49,680
But he'll be missing those two games, and he'll be back in time

991
00:47:49,680 --> 00:47:52,880
for the Uwe game, which is massive for Milan.

992
00:47:52,880 --> 00:47:53,680
Totally.

993
00:47:53,680 --> 00:47:56,000
At what point in the season do you think we should start reading

994
00:47:56,000 --> 00:47:57,600
out positions in the league table?

995
00:47:57,600 --> 00:47:58,480
Should we start it now?

996
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:02,720
I would say in three matchdays' time, matchday 10.

997
00:48:02,720 --> 00:48:02,880
Yeah.

998
00:48:02,880 --> 00:48:05,040
We're at matchday 7, I say we could hold off.

999
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:06,720
What should we do with it from the next?

1000
00:48:06,720 --> 00:48:07,440
Let's do it from now.

1001
00:48:07,440 --> 00:48:08,080
Let's do it from now.

1002
00:48:08,080 --> 00:48:08,880
Fuck it. Why not?

1003
00:48:09,680 --> 00:48:10,960
I mean, sure, bro. Fuck it.

1004
00:48:11,520 --> 00:48:15,280
Milan currently sit in second with 18 points,

1005
00:48:15,280 --> 00:48:19,280
while lots currently sit in 16th with 7 points.

1006
00:48:19,280 --> 00:48:22,400
Not a 16th is wild, eh?

1007
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:22,960
Tough start.

1008
00:48:22,960 --> 00:48:23,520
Tough start.

1009
00:48:23,520 --> 00:48:23,760
Yeah.

1010
00:48:25,280 --> 00:48:28,800
And the next game we're going to be covering is Atalanta

1011
00:48:28,800 --> 00:48:32,800
Nyl Juve Nyl at the stadium of Ladea.

1012
00:48:32,800 --> 00:48:35,600
Atalanta were coming off a 1-0 away victory against

1013
00:48:35,600 --> 00:48:39,760
Helas Verona, while Juventus were coming off a 1-0 victory

1014
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:41,520
at home over Lecce.

1015
00:48:41,520 --> 00:48:43,600
Now, under Gasperini management,

1016
00:48:43,600 --> 00:48:47,280
which is basically from 2016, Atalanta have only lost

1017
00:48:47,280 --> 00:48:51,120
four of their 14 matches against Juventus in Serie A,

1018
00:48:51,120 --> 00:48:53,040
where they won two and drew eight.

1019
00:48:53,040 --> 00:48:56,800
So predominantly this fixture does end up in a draw.

1020
00:48:57,760 --> 00:48:59,920
This was a head-to-head for third place,

1021
00:48:59,920 --> 00:49:03,360
as Sharzak Eitelare recovered from a muscular issue

1022
00:49:03,360 --> 00:49:09,440
to start the game with Scamaca and El Bilaltore.

1023
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:10,720
Still out of action.

1024
00:49:10,720 --> 00:49:11,920
You make that mistake as well.

1025
00:49:11,920 --> 00:49:13,920
El Bilaltore.

1026
00:49:13,920 --> 00:49:15,040
El Bilaltore.

1027
00:49:15,040 --> 00:49:16,400
It feels more of a ring to it,

1028
00:49:16,400 --> 00:49:19,600
but El Bilaltore is the name, apologies to him.

1029
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:25,360
Duzan Vlaovic, Milik Aleksandro and Matjade Shilio did not make the trip,

1030
00:49:25,360 --> 00:49:29,360
with Paul Pogba naturally still suspended for failing a doping test,

1031
00:49:29,360 --> 00:49:34,000
but Mois Keane actually returned to partner Federico Chiesa up front.

1032
00:49:34,800 --> 00:49:38,640
For the lineups, it was a 3-4-2-1 for Atalanta with Juan Musson-Gol

1033
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:41,120
and a backline of Skalvini, Jim City and Toloi.

1034
00:49:41,120 --> 00:49:42,400
Ruggeri was out on the left,

1035
00:49:42,400 --> 00:49:44,000
while Zappa Costa was out on the right,

1036
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:46,560
with D'Gon and Ederson in the midfield.

1037
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:50,720
Cope Minersh as the left winger, technically left attacking midfielder.

1038
00:49:50,720 --> 00:49:52,480
Lukman as the right attacking midfielder,

1039
00:49:52,480 --> 00:49:54,960
and Sharzak Eitelare playing up front.

1040
00:49:55,760 --> 00:49:59,600
For Juve, it was a 3-5-2 formation with Vojcek Szczesny in goal,

1041
00:49:59,600 --> 00:50:02,560
coming off a nightmare game against Aswolo.

1042
00:50:02,560 --> 00:50:05,440
Gatti Bremer and Danilo at the back with McKenney on the right,

1043
00:50:05,440 --> 00:50:07,040
Kambiazo on the left.

1044
00:50:07,040 --> 00:50:10,480
Fajoli Lokatelli and Rabio formed the midfield three with Chiesa

1045
00:50:10,480 --> 00:50:12,240
and Moisekeen up front.

1046
00:50:13,040 --> 00:50:19,120
Now in the 14th minute, Cope Minersh's cross fell perfectly for Zappa Costa to volley in,

1047
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:21,520
but his mishit shot was blocked by Danilo,

1048
00:50:21,520 --> 00:50:23,840
and his follow-up, which Juve should have went in,

1049
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,360
skimmed wide three years ago,

1050
00:50:25,360 --> 00:50:27,600
I think it would have absolutely nailed the first shot,

1051
00:50:27,600 --> 00:50:28,640
not only the second one.

1052
00:50:29,440 --> 00:50:32,160
Juve had a good chance through Chiesa in the 50th minute,

1053
00:50:32,160 --> 00:50:35,840
but Musson tonight has powerful yet central strike very well.

1054
00:50:35,840 --> 00:50:38,720
In the 69th minute, Ederson attempted a bicycle kick.

1055
00:50:38,720 --> 00:50:44,400
Sure, in the 73rd minute, Muriel's free kick was close to unstoppable,

1056
00:50:44,400 --> 00:50:50,000
but somehow Vojcek Szczesny managed to tip the accurate and powerful strike onto the crossbar.

1057
00:50:50,560 --> 00:50:55,120
Best save of the season so far, in my opinion, it was an absolutely astounding save.

1058
00:50:55,120 --> 00:50:57,040
The ball bounced off the ground,

1059
00:50:57,040 --> 00:50:59,120
so he tipped the ball onto the crossbar,

1060
00:50:59,120 --> 00:51:02,880
which then bounced on the ground behind Szczesny on another day.

1061
00:51:02,880 --> 00:51:04,880
It really could have deflected off the back of the keeper,

1062
00:51:04,880 --> 00:51:06,880
according to how he was falling back.

1063
00:51:06,880 --> 00:51:13,440
Good to see that maybe he had the spirits and the stars aligning for him in this moment,

1064
00:51:13,440 --> 00:51:15,920
because they really weren't aligning for him earlier this week.

1065
00:51:16,560 --> 00:51:19,680
Great save by him, shout out to Szczesny, that was the best moment of the match.

1066
00:51:19,680 --> 00:51:21,520
The rainbow, no, after the rainfall.

1067
00:51:21,520 --> 00:51:23,520
Exactly, there you go, there you go.

1068
00:51:23,520 --> 00:51:26,640
He celebrated that like a goal as well, it was good to see.

1069
00:51:28,320 --> 00:51:32,400
Even his teammates around him celebrating it, it was good to see goal-teapers obviously.

1070
00:51:32,400 --> 00:51:34,480
Of course, I'm all for that, I even love when,

1071
00:51:34,480 --> 00:51:36,560
I believe this match day as well,

1072
00:51:37,920 --> 00:51:41,600
Viu Danez, no, the Fiorentina fullback cleared the ball of Kaiode.

1073
00:51:41,600 --> 00:51:43,440
Oh yeah, it was Kaiode.

1074
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:44,960
Yes, you're right, it was Kaiode.

1075
00:51:44,960 --> 00:51:49,360
He celebrated, not like he scored the goal, not to that extent,

1076
00:51:49,360 --> 00:51:53,520
but it is nice to see players so passionate about their trade.

1077
00:51:53,520 --> 00:51:56,080
A good tackle allows the tackleer, a clearance of the line,

1078
00:51:56,080 --> 00:51:58,400
or a wonderful save deserves a celebration.

1079
00:51:58,400 --> 00:52:03,280
A game is made of players carrying out their duty to the best of their abilities,

1080
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:05,520
when they do something that could affect the outcome of the game.

1081
00:52:06,400 --> 00:52:09,040
In an impressive fashion, they should definitely celebrate it.

1082
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:11,120
It was good to see Shesney, naturally again,

1083
00:52:11,120 --> 00:52:12,800
making a pulling off that save.

1084
00:52:12,800 --> 00:52:15,120
His teammates as well, gathering around him, that was really sweet.

1085
00:52:16,560 --> 00:52:19,520
Over then, the 87th minute, Shesney was back to his earlier form.

1086
00:52:20,320 --> 00:52:23,920
After his spilled Muriel's long-range strike, thankfully for him,

1087
00:52:23,920 --> 00:52:26,480
Kuk Meiners, very uncharacteristically,

1088
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,920
mishit the follow-up and it went over the bar,

1089
00:52:29,920 --> 00:52:32,480
he could have really scored the rebound over there,

1090
00:52:32,480 --> 00:52:34,240
again, stars aligning for Shesney.

1091
00:52:34,240 --> 00:52:35,360
Oh wait, it could have been Batja,

1092
00:52:35,360 --> 00:52:37,200
but with a chuckle after that as well, like,

1093
00:52:37,200 --> 00:52:39,920
shit, I thought this was a good game.

1094
00:52:40,960 --> 00:52:41,840
It happened again.

1095
00:52:41,840 --> 00:52:42,880
It happened again.

1096
00:52:45,040 --> 00:52:47,280
In the 91st, Bakker did well,

1097
00:52:47,280 --> 00:52:49,120
because we did get to see Bakker in this match,

1098
00:52:49,120 --> 00:52:50,720
he did well to cross the ball to Koop,

1099
00:52:50,720 --> 00:52:53,360
but once again, the Dutchman overcooked his shot.

1100
00:52:53,920 --> 00:52:57,360
Safe to say, in the final third, Koop Meiners was a bit wasteful in this game.

1101
00:52:57,360 --> 00:53:00,080
Yes, yes, uncharacteristically, sure.

1102
00:53:00,080 --> 00:53:04,160
But he did find himself in certain positions,

1103
00:53:06,880 --> 00:53:08,720
in a home match against Juve, sure,

1104
00:53:08,720 --> 00:53:10,560
but he did find himself in some positions

1105
00:53:10,560 --> 00:53:12,160
that maybe surprised him, I think.

1106
00:53:12,160 --> 00:53:13,600
Oh yeah, I think so.

1107
00:53:14,400 --> 00:53:17,840
Typically though, you would see Koop Meiners score those,

1108
00:53:17,840 --> 00:53:20,720
but I think he's more interested in scoring the odd-worldie.

1109
00:53:20,720 --> 00:53:21,520
Yes, yes, yes.

1110
00:53:21,520 --> 00:53:22,480
And the odd-hatter.

1111
00:53:23,920 --> 00:53:25,680
I think that Koop Meiners, of course,

1112
00:53:25,680 --> 00:53:27,440
is one of the best midfielders in the league.

1113
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:30,320
I know I said that about Goodminton earlier,

1114
00:53:30,320 --> 00:53:32,640
like does this guy think everyone's the best midfielder in the league?

1115
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:34,080
They're two of the best.

1116
00:53:34,080 --> 00:53:35,920
Two of the best attacking midfielders in the league.

1117
00:53:35,920 --> 00:53:39,280
There are two top-tier players in their position in the league this season.

1118
00:53:40,080 --> 00:53:42,160
And Koop Meiners, even this season prior,

1119
00:53:42,160 --> 00:53:44,080
is very, very possibly top-two.

1120
00:53:44,800 --> 00:53:46,720
Yeah, very possibly top-two.

1121
00:53:46,720 --> 00:53:50,080
But anyway, what I noticed from this game was that,

1122
00:53:50,800 --> 00:53:52,400
first of all, it was a KGF,

1123
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:55,040
where both sides primarily didn't want to lose.

1124
00:53:55,040 --> 00:53:55,840
Yeah, yep.

1125
00:53:55,840 --> 00:54:00,240
And I think Juve took that to another extreme, to be honest,

1126
00:54:00,240 --> 00:54:02,560
when you look at their statistics,

1127
00:54:03,360 --> 00:54:08,880
stylistically, it's difficult to defend a legria in this game,

1128
00:54:08,880 --> 00:54:10,880
to be honest, like two key passes.

1129
00:54:10,880 --> 00:54:13,920
And you know who delivered these key passes?

1130
00:54:13,920 --> 00:54:15,440
I don't, and I prepped for this game.

1131
00:54:15,440 --> 00:54:17,280
So let's guess.

1132
00:54:17,280 --> 00:54:18,960
The first one's an easy guess.

1133
00:54:18,960 --> 00:54:19,920
Who made the key pass?

1134
00:54:19,920 --> 00:54:20,880
Yeah, the first key pass.

1135
00:54:20,880 --> 00:54:22,400
Who made the first key pass of the game?

1136
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:22,880
Who was it?

1137
00:54:24,320 --> 00:54:25,600
Is it stupid to say he has?

1138
00:54:25,600 --> 00:54:26,800
No, it was actually KGF.

1139
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:27,360
Nice, okay.

1140
00:54:27,360 --> 00:54:28,240
It's perfect, you're good.

1141
00:54:28,240 --> 00:54:29,920
But then the second player who gave a key pass,

1142
00:54:29,920 --> 00:54:33,120
I'll give you three guesses on the Juve team.

1143
00:54:34,080 --> 00:54:36,880
Okay, I'm gonna start off by saying Chesson.

1144
00:54:36,880 --> 00:54:37,360
Yes, you're fine.

1145
00:54:37,360 --> 00:54:38,480
Oh my God.

1146
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:39,600
Yes, I'm so good.

1147
00:54:39,600 --> 00:54:42,240
I've been doing trivia at Freshers all week,

1148
00:54:42,240 --> 00:54:43,280
and I know the tricks of this game.

1149
00:54:43,280 --> 00:54:44,400
Hit me with a good one, now.

1150
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:44,720
Quickly.

1151
00:54:45,920 --> 00:54:47,920
Okay, here's 1G.

1152
00:54:48,800 --> 00:54:52,800
Who won the first ever Eurovision Song Contest?

1153
00:54:52,800 --> 00:55:00,400
Was it A. Italy, B. France, C. Switzerland, or D. Sweden?

1154
00:55:00,400 --> 00:55:01,280
Okay, bro.

1155
00:55:01,280 --> 00:55:03,200
This is, say, a spotlight.

1156
00:55:03,200 --> 00:55:04,400
I'm gonna vote Italy.

1157
00:55:04,400 --> 00:55:05,280
Well, it's Sweden.

1158
00:55:05,280 --> 00:55:06,400
Switzerland.

1159
00:55:06,400 --> 00:55:07,840
Switzerland, yes.

1160
00:55:07,840 --> 00:55:09,120
It's quite close, anyway.

1161
00:55:09,120 --> 00:55:11,440
Yep, congratulations to the Swiss.

1162
00:55:11,440 --> 00:55:14,240
But yeah, that's the trivia round over.

1163
00:55:14,240 --> 00:55:15,760
We tried, we tried.

1164
00:55:15,760 --> 00:55:19,040
But yeah, Juve left a lot to be desired.

1165
00:55:19,040 --> 00:55:21,440
Of course, nice to see that defensively they were more sound

1166
00:55:21,440 --> 00:55:23,040
and there weren't as many howlers.

1167
00:55:23,040 --> 00:55:26,320
I mean, typically, Chesney's very good at controlling his line.

1168
00:55:26,320 --> 00:55:29,520
Gatti Bremer and Danilo are more than competent defenders

1169
00:55:29,520 --> 00:55:32,320
to keep a clean sheet against many teams, to be honest.

1170
00:55:32,320 --> 00:55:36,880
So nice to see that they're keeping everything tight at the back.

1171
00:55:36,880 --> 00:55:41,440
However, one should not write Juventus off at the moment.

1172
00:55:41,440 --> 00:55:44,720
Allegri has said that top four is their objective,

1173
00:55:44,720 --> 00:55:49,120
but Allegri always diminishes the actual objective.

1174
00:55:49,120 --> 00:55:49,760
Always.

1175
00:55:49,760 --> 00:55:52,560
The objective is top four.

1176
00:55:52,560 --> 00:55:55,600
He will say that the objective is Europa League, right?

1177
00:55:55,600 --> 00:55:59,760
European football is our priority right now.

1178
00:55:59,760 --> 00:56:02,960
They currently have won four games,

1179
00:56:02,960 --> 00:56:04,640
drawn twice and lost once.

1180
00:56:04,640 --> 00:56:05,280
So bad, man.

1181
00:56:05,280 --> 00:56:07,840
Which teams have won the league with more.

1182
00:56:07,840 --> 00:56:08,960
It's still so early.

1183
00:56:08,960 --> 00:56:10,480
It's so early.

1184
00:56:10,480 --> 00:56:14,480
No, I think anyone that's already counting any of the top seven,

1185
00:56:14,480 --> 00:56:17,200
well, okay, maybe there are two that you can count out.

1186
00:56:17,200 --> 00:56:18,880
The Roman ones.

1187
00:56:18,880 --> 00:56:22,080
But anyone writing anyone off so early on in the season,

1188
00:56:22,080 --> 00:56:23,840
it's just a little bit bold already.

1189
00:56:23,840 --> 00:56:25,440
Especially a club like Juventus,

1190
00:56:25,440 --> 00:56:27,840
who have literally won it the most times in Serie A.

1191
00:56:27,840 --> 00:56:31,440
And in this day and age where you have a fixture list

1192
00:56:31,440 --> 00:56:34,000
that's so crammed that lots of your head coach,

1193
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:37,760
Sarri, is threatening to quit because he doesn't like the game anymore.

1194
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:40,640
Because he doesn't have time to instill his tactics,

1195
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:42,800
is what he's saying.

1196
00:56:42,800 --> 00:56:44,960
Juve play once a week.

1197
00:56:44,960 --> 00:56:47,280
That is a massive advantage for them.

1198
00:56:47,280 --> 00:56:49,040
When you look at Napoli, Milan and Inter,

1199
00:56:49,040 --> 00:56:51,600
who will probably be competing alongside them,

1200
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,040
they all have European competition

1201
00:56:53,040 --> 00:56:55,520
and they have tough European competitions as well,

1202
00:56:55,520 --> 00:56:56,960
because they're in the fucking Champions League.

1203
00:56:56,960 --> 00:56:57,760
Yeah, absolutely.

1204
00:56:57,760 --> 00:57:00,720
And I think you look at Juve starting 11 as well.

1205
00:57:02,320 --> 00:57:05,280
And that's enough as well.

1206
00:57:05,280 --> 00:57:07,200
Yeah, enough for once a week.

1207
00:57:07,200 --> 00:57:10,080
Yeah, I think the way this game went is essentially,

1208
00:57:10,080 --> 00:57:11,440
like you said, very well.

1209
00:57:12,080 --> 00:57:14,480
Juve left a lot to be desired.

1210
00:57:14,480 --> 00:57:16,080
They played a very defensive game.

1211
00:57:16,080 --> 00:57:19,200
They primarily focused on a defensive approach

1212
00:57:19,200 --> 00:57:22,320
and then shoot on the counter attack through utilising Chiesa,

1213
00:57:22,320 --> 00:57:26,480
who carried the ball forward a lot in this game.

1214
00:57:27,680 --> 00:57:30,800
Juve did seem to have that kind of control

1215
00:57:30,800 --> 00:57:32,720
off the ball in the first half.

1216
00:57:32,720 --> 00:57:35,520
In the second half towards the latter stages of the game,

1217
00:57:35,520 --> 00:57:37,280
Atalanta did go for that late push,

1218
00:57:38,320 --> 00:57:40,640
where they had a couple of Shesney saves,

1219
00:57:41,360 --> 00:57:43,200
a couple of Cope Miners misses.

1220
00:57:43,200 --> 00:57:46,800
And over there, you started to see the Tijiri shift towards Atalanta.

1221
00:57:46,800 --> 00:57:49,760
And if you only watched the last 15-20 minutes of the game,

1222
00:57:49,760 --> 00:57:52,640
you'd say Atalanta deserved the win over here,

1223
00:57:53,440 --> 00:57:56,560
especially when there was such goalkeeping heroics through Juve,

1224
00:57:56,560 --> 00:57:58,240
which is what saved them.

1225
00:57:59,200 --> 00:58:02,960
But I think it's interesting to see the earlier statistic

1226
00:58:02,960 --> 00:58:08,480
that I mentioned that they've drawn eight out of their last 14 matches this season,

1227
00:58:08,480 --> 00:58:12,400
which really says something about the history between these teams.

1228
00:58:12,400 --> 00:58:16,240
One thing that we've noticed is these things aren't coincidence,

1229
00:58:16,240 --> 00:58:19,920
but it's an actual pattern that takes place for a reason.

1230
00:58:19,920 --> 00:58:25,360
And these two teams are teams that like to take more of a pragmatic approach nowadays.

1231
00:58:25,360 --> 00:58:31,280
These are teams managed by Gasperini, a modern Gasperini, and Allegri.

1232
00:58:31,280 --> 00:58:34,160
So it's no surprise that this game ended up in an ill-kneel,

1233
00:58:34,160 --> 00:58:36,720
and I think we can conclude over here.

1234
00:58:36,720 --> 00:58:37,760
What do you think?

1235
00:58:37,760 --> 00:58:39,280
Yeah, I mean, we're on a tight schedule.

1236
00:58:39,280 --> 00:58:44,080
So I think it would be best not to linger too much.

1237
00:58:44,080 --> 00:58:53,600
I do think that Juve's tactics have this game at least resorted back to solidity,

1238
00:58:53,600 --> 00:58:57,920
defensive solidarity, and then play Kiesa through.

1239
00:58:57,920 --> 00:58:58,960
Yeah, that's it.

1240
00:58:58,960 --> 00:59:01,600
And Juve are actually looking more fluid recently.

1241
00:59:01,600 --> 00:59:04,240
So I wonder if this is kind of a change that he made,

1242
00:59:04,240 --> 00:59:08,160
because he felt like Atalanta were a tricky opponent, maybe superior,

1243
00:59:08,160 --> 00:59:11,040
opponent in their stadium at the Jewish stadium.

1244
00:59:11,040 --> 00:59:15,840
But I enjoyed watching Juve play nice football, to be honest with you.

1245
00:59:15,840 --> 00:59:21,280
Yeah, they play decent football when they actually have.

1246
00:59:21,280 --> 00:59:24,000
Nowadays, it seems like you're saying they do have more fluidity.

1247
00:59:24,000 --> 00:59:28,480
Before it was more like static defend, and then let's pass around and try to figure it out.

1248
00:59:28,480 --> 00:59:29,440
Now it's with intent.

1249
00:59:30,480 --> 00:59:33,840
And like you said as well, Kiesa up front on the counter,

1250
00:59:33,840 --> 00:59:36,560
and typically they would have Lovic over there who was out for this game.

1251
00:59:36,560 --> 00:59:40,560
Typically that is another avenue, because you play the ball through to Lovic.

1252
00:59:40,560 --> 00:59:43,440
He's got good pace, he's got good finishing, he's good in the air,

1253
00:59:43,440 --> 00:59:44,880
he could link up with his teammates.

1254
00:59:46,000 --> 00:59:51,040
So yeah, I do want to highlight real quick the performance of Martin Dehoun,

1255
00:59:51,040 --> 00:59:56,480
who very often goes under the radar as an absolute workhorse,

1256
00:59:56,480 --> 01:00:00,000
a very industrious player in the midfield for Atalanta.

1257
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,560
He's not just a player that passes the ball laterally,

1258
01:00:02,560 --> 01:00:05,280
but he's a player that wins the ball back a significant amount,

1259
01:00:05,280 --> 01:00:08,720
has a tremendous work rate, is great off the ball and on the ball.

1260
01:00:08,720 --> 01:00:10,160
They just really want to tie the item.

1261
01:00:10,160 --> 01:00:11,280
I don't think we do it enough.

1262
01:00:12,160 --> 01:00:15,440
Shout out to Skalvini as well, who is always so impressive,

1263
01:00:15,440 --> 01:00:19,280
playing the ball out from the back and linking up with his midfield teammates.

1264
01:00:19,280 --> 01:00:20,480
It does such a great job.

1265
01:00:20,480 --> 01:00:24,480
And yeah, the best way to describe him for any Prem heads listening,

1266
01:00:24,480 --> 01:00:27,280
or anyone who just started listening to us or following Seria,

1267
01:00:27,280 --> 01:00:29,280
he is literally the Italian John Stones.

1268
01:00:29,280 --> 01:00:33,280
And keep in mind Skalvini is a fucking baby man.

1269
01:00:33,280 --> 01:00:37,280
Skalvini is literally early twenties, if I'm not mistaken.

1270
01:00:37,280 --> 01:00:39,280
Yes, Skalvini is only 19 years old brother.

1271
01:00:39,280 --> 01:00:41,280
That's a joke.

1272
01:00:41,280 --> 01:00:47,280
He's the best young centre back in the world.

1273
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,280
19 years old.

1274
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:51,280
It's not a bold claim to be honest.

1275
01:00:51,280 --> 01:00:53,280
Okay, the best teen centre back in the world, definitely.

1276
01:00:53,280 --> 01:00:55,280
19 years old.

1277
01:00:55,280 --> 01:00:57,280
And he offers something.

1278
01:00:57,280 --> 01:00:59,280
A top tier teenage centre back for sure, because you look at Skalvini,

1279
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:01,280
you're not only seeing a youth product,

1280
01:01:01,280 --> 01:01:04,280
but you're seeing an experienced defender, right?

1281
01:01:04,280 --> 01:01:05,280
Of course, Atalanta team.

1282
01:01:05,280 --> 01:01:08,280
You can compare him to maybe Bastoni.

1283
01:01:08,280 --> 01:01:12,280
For example, and Bastoni is 24, which is fucking young,

1284
01:01:12,280 --> 01:01:14,280
at least five years older than him dog.

1285
01:01:14,280 --> 01:01:15,280
So yes.

1286
01:01:15,280 --> 01:01:17,280
Skalvini is super, honestly, a freak of nature.

1287
01:01:17,280 --> 01:01:19,280
Yeah, let me just let you know where these guys stand.

1288
01:01:19,280 --> 01:01:22,280
In the table, Juve are in fourth on 14 points,

1289
01:01:22,280 --> 01:01:24,280
while Atalanta are in sixth,

1290
01:01:24,280 --> 01:01:27,280
just one point behind Juve with 13 points.

1291
01:01:27,280 --> 01:01:30,280
Cheers, but I don't recall asking.

1292
01:01:30,280 --> 01:01:37,280
The next game we're going to be covering is Salernitana.

1293
01:01:37,280 --> 01:01:40,280
Nill, in third four.

1294
01:01:40,280 --> 01:01:44,280
And there's lost defeat against Salernitana, came back in 1999.

1295
01:01:44,280 --> 01:01:48,280
In April, to be precise, Francesco Oddo was a Salernitana manager,

1296
01:01:48,280 --> 01:01:50,280
no, it's not that Oddo's.

1297
01:01:50,280 --> 01:01:55,280
It's a different one, because the timeline doesn't add up.

1298
01:01:55,280 --> 01:01:58,280
The two goals were scored by David,

1299
01:01:58,280 --> 01:02:02,280
the Miquela and Federico Gianpaolo for those of you.

1300
01:02:02,280 --> 01:02:03,280
Oh, wow.

1301
01:02:03,280 --> 01:02:05,280
Who remember those days?

1302
01:02:05,280 --> 01:02:09,280
Bro, very classically hitting us up with these sick stats.

1303
01:02:09,280 --> 01:02:10,280
Yes.

1304
01:02:10,280 --> 01:02:11,280
We don't know.

1305
01:02:11,280 --> 01:02:14,280
If you've heard this, remember, these guys do text us.

1306
01:02:14,280 --> 01:02:20,280
This is the first time Salernitana have not won any of their first four home games in Serie A.

1307
01:02:20,280 --> 01:02:21,280
Oh, oh.

1308
01:02:21,280 --> 01:02:25,280
Yes, and prior to this game, just a separate stat that I found very interesting

1309
01:02:25,280 --> 01:02:30,280
about Jovan Cabral, he was the only player in Europe's top five leagues

1310
01:02:30,280 --> 01:02:34,280
to have hit the woodwork in each of his first four games.

1311
01:02:34,280 --> 01:02:35,280
Oh, my God.

1312
01:02:35,280 --> 01:02:38,280
He was denied by the post every game, the first four games.

1313
01:02:38,280 --> 01:02:40,280
I don't believe he hit it against him though.

1314
01:02:40,280 --> 01:02:44,280
If my life ever depends on a crossbar challenge, at least I know who to call.

1315
01:02:44,280 --> 01:02:48,280
Salernitana lined up with the three, four, two, one formation

1316
01:02:48,280 --> 01:02:52,280
with Guillermo Ochoa in goal, Danilo Litch, Gionber and Lovato at the back,

1317
01:02:52,280 --> 01:02:55,280
Castanos out on the right with Brother Litch out on the left,

1318
01:02:55,280 --> 01:02:57,280
Legovsky and Bohinen were in the middle.

1319
01:02:57,280 --> 01:03:01,280
Martagani and Cabral were playing behind Boulaye Dia.

1320
01:03:01,280 --> 01:03:04,280
Boulaye Dia, a quoi.

1321
01:03:04,280 --> 01:03:09,280
For Inter, it was Jan Summer in goal as they deployed their usual 3-5-2.

1322
01:03:09,280 --> 01:03:13,280
Achereby De Vry and Pavard were at the back, all looking solid.

1323
01:03:13,280 --> 01:03:18,280
Augusto was out on the left, Danfries out on the right with Davy Klassen

1324
01:03:18,280 --> 01:03:21,280
making his debut over here, his first start.

1325
01:03:21,280 --> 01:03:24,280
Hakan Cialano-Gluhan, Barella were also in the middle

1326
01:03:24,280 --> 01:03:28,280
with Alexis Sanchez and Marcus Thuram partnering up front.

1327
01:03:28,280 --> 01:03:32,280
Now Inter started the game strong, they had chances from Marcus Thuram and Denzel.

1328
01:03:32,280 --> 01:03:35,280
Danfries early on, Boulaye Ochoa kept Salernitana in the game,

1329
01:03:35,280 --> 01:03:37,280
how many times have we said that before?

1330
01:03:37,280 --> 01:03:42,280
Salernitana, despite being when Lissand Seria put up a notable fight,

1331
01:03:42,280 --> 01:03:46,280
players like Cabral and Castanos put up a fight testing interest,

1332
01:03:46,280 --> 01:03:50,280
defence, Castanos even forced the save from Jan Summer with a rising shot.

1333
01:03:50,280 --> 01:03:54,280
Simone Insagi brought on Lautaro Martinez in the 55th minute

1334
01:03:54,280 --> 01:03:56,280
and that was pretty much game over.

1335
01:03:56,280 --> 01:03:59,280
Martinez's impact was immediate.

1336
01:03:59,280 --> 01:04:02,280
Prior to that, before Martinez actually came on,

1337
01:04:02,280 --> 01:04:04,280
I was looking at players like Gionburn saying,

1338
01:04:04,280 --> 01:04:06,280
wow, he's really playing well here.

1339
01:04:06,280 --> 01:04:09,280
There was a moment where he recovered the ball brilliantly,

1340
01:04:09,280 --> 01:04:12,280
had a great burst of pace, Gionburn recovered the ball,

1341
01:04:12,280 --> 01:04:16,280
everyone applauded him and said, wow, Salernitana looking solid.

1342
01:04:16,280 --> 01:04:21,280
But apparently it took one man from Argentina with a particularly large forehead

1343
01:04:21,280 --> 01:04:23,280
to change mine.

1344
01:04:23,280 --> 01:04:25,280
He probably just hates Pink Floyd,

1345
01:04:25,280 --> 01:04:27,280
and he just had a bit of a chip on his shoulder.

1346
01:04:27,280 --> 01:04:29,280
He's like, fuck these ovaries.

1347
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:32,280
The dark sides of the moon is better than the wall.

1348
01:04:32,280 --> 01:04:35,280
He's like, you think this is music? Reggaeton, baby.

1349
01:04:37,280 --> 01:04:40,280
But yes, Martinez's impact was immediate

1350
01:04:40,280 --> 01:04:44,280
and he delicately chipped the ball over the keeper

1351
01:04:44,280 --> 01:04:48,280
and very tight space after our Marcus de Ramprecise crossed

1352
01:04:48,280 --> 01:04:51,280
to score the first goal for Inter.

1353
01:04:51,280 --> 01:04:53,280
And that goal was underrated.

1354
01:04:53,280 --> 01:04:56,280
The amount of time he had to get between the defender

1355
01:04:56,280 --> 01:04:58,280
and the goalkeeper and onto the ball.

1356
01:04:58,280 --> 01:05:02,280
And the keeper practically had the ball in his hands.

1357
01:05:02,280 --> 01:05:04,280
Well, not practically, almost.

1358
01:05:04,280 --> 01:05:05,280
And he just tripped it perfectly,

1359
01:05:05,280 --> 01:05:07,280
and he just pinked it over him. Amazing goal.

1360
01:05:08,280 --> 01:05:10,280
There is one way he could have scored that goal

1361
01:05:10,280 --> 01:05:13,280
and in one manner that he could have executed that

1362
01:05:13,280 --> 01:05:16,280
and it was the manner which he used in a split second.

1363
01:05:16,280 --> 01:05:19,280
Yes, and then Salernitano thought they had equalized

1364
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:21,280
a goal in a similar fashion, to be honest.

1365
01:05:21,280 --> 01:05:24,280
The ball played between the goalkeeper and the defender.

1366
01:05:24,280 --> 01:05:28,280
And Matusz Legowski just charging between the defender

1367
01:05:28,280 --> 01:05:30,280
and the goalkeeper and finishing quite cleanly,

1368
01:05:30,280 --> 01:05:34,280
but he was in an offside position and it did not count

1369
01:05:34,280 --> 01:05:37,280
enough that this Inter's defense held firm.

1370
01:05:37,280 --> 01:05:39,280
Martinez sealed Inter's victory with a well taken volley

1371
01:05:39,280 --> 01:05:41,280
followed by a penalty conversion

1372
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:43,280
and a close range goal.

1373
01:05:43,280 --> 01:05:45,280
This incredible four goal performance was indeed

1374
01:05:45,280 --> 01:05:47,280
the highlight of the match and potentially the highlight

1375
01:05:47,280 --> 01:05:50,280
of the week they secured convincing four

1376
01:05:50,280 --> 01:05:54,280
and it went bouncing back after their loss to Sa Swolo.

1377
01:05:54,280 --> 01:05:57,280
There's a crazy stat on that, no?

1378
01:05:57,280 --> 01:06:00,280
About a substitute scoring four goals in Serie A.

1379
01:06:00,280 --> 01:06:04,280
Yes, it's the first time in modern day football

1380
01:06:04,280 --> 01:06:08,280
that in Serie A that a substitute has scored four of the bench.

1381
01:06:08,280 --> 01:06:10,280
And in 30 minutes it's mental.

1382
01:06:10,280 --> 01:06:11,280
That's crazy.

1383
01:06:11,280 --> 01:06:14,280
Now that we've reviewed the match, let's discuss a little bit.

1384
01:06:14,280 --> 01:06:16,280
Lotta Romaitina's brother.

1385
01:06:16,280 --> 01:06:19,280
You know what, yeah, similarly to Leo,

1386
01:06:19,280 --> 01:06:21,280
I don't know if this is a seo, I think,

1387
01:06:21,280 --> 01:06:23,280
but you don't really hear people mentioning him

1388
01:06:23,280 --> 01:06:25,280
as a top striker, yeah?

1389
01:06:25,280 --> 01:06:27,280
There was a time where he was being very hyped

1390
01:06:27,280 --> 01:06:30,280
and he was close to moving to Barcelona,

1391
01:06:30,280 --> 01:06:32,280
but this is around three, four years ago, you know what I mean?

1392
01:06:32,280 --> 01:06:36,280
He's much better nowadays, yeah.

1393
01:06:36,280 --> 01:06:41,280
I don't know if, maybe, you know how sometimes

1394
01:06:41,280 --> 01:06:45,280
there are certain people who are so obviously

1395
01:06:45,280 --> 01:06:49,280
in a relationship that no one bothers flirting with them.

1396
01:06:49,280 --> 01:06:52,280
I think that's, I think that maybe that opens up.

1397
01:06:52,280 --> 01:06:54,280
Who, me, bro?

1398
01:06:54,280 --> 01:06:58,280
I think sometimes that's the case in football,

1399
01:06:58,280 --> 01:07:00,280
if I'm being honest.

1400
01:07:00,280 --> 01:07:03,280
But yeah, it's the same thing.

1401
01:07:03,280 --> 01:07:07,280
But Inter just made the Champions League final, man, to be honest.

1402
01:07:07,280 --> 01:07:09,280
Yeah, they're a good place to be right now,

1403
01:07:09,280 --> 01:07:12,280
despite the financial woes Marotta keeps cooking.

1404
01:07:12,280 --> 01:07:14,280
It must be said that...

1405
01:07:14,280 --> 01:07:16,280
It would make them a lot of money to sell him, man.

1406
01:07:16,280 --> 01:07:20,280
Of course, that Lautaro has totally taken on the role of a leader,

1407
01:07:20,280 --> 01:07:23,280
though at the centre team, and it can be seen, you know,

1408
01:07:23,280 --> 01:07:27,280
the way the fans respond to him, the way that he...

1409
01:07:27,280 --> 01:07:31,280
He just, he has an aura about him nowadays, Lautaro.

1410
01:07:31,280 --> 01:07:34,280
You know, like the aura of a great player,

1411
01:07:34,280 --> 01:07:36,280
he's so confident in his trade,

1412
01:07:36,280 --> 01:07:39,280
and I don't think we'll be seeing these long, dry spells

1413
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:41,280
for much longer from Lautaro.

1414
01:07:41,280 --> 01:07:44,280
I think mentally he's better nowadays, you know?

1415
01:07:44,280 --> 01:07:47,280
It could very much be the case.

1416
01:07:47,280 --> 01:07:49,280
I don't want to get too carried away,

1417
01:07:49,280 --> 01:07:52,280
naturally, insane performance from an insane player.

1418
01:07:52,280 --> 01:07:55,280
One of the best strikers in Serie A.

1419
01:07:55,280 --> 01:07:58,280
We typically speak about Ossimen and Vladovic,

1420
01:07:58,280 --> 01:08:01,280
and we typically don't give him the cake because he's not

1421
01:08:01,280 --> 01:08:04,280
exactly a lone striker-bomber,

1422
01:08:04,280 --> 01:08:07,280
but he's typically providing to another striker,

1423
01:08:07,280 --> 01:08:10,280
playing alongside Lukaku or playing alongside someone else.

1424
01:08:10,280 --> 01:08:12,280
But he's off to a very strong start.

1425
01:08:12,280 --> 01:08:17,280
He's been in the conversation of Capocano Niere for the past few years.

1426
01:08:17,280 --> 01:08:22,280
But I don't want to discount the fact that he can get quiet at times.

1427
01:08:22,280 --> 01:08:25,280
He scored a hat-trick last season or the season before,

1428
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:29,280
I don't remember which one, and he still, January-February-March,

1429
01:08:29,280 --> 01:08:31,280
had a bit of a dry spell.

1430
01:08:31,280 --> 01:08:35,280
Yeah, it's the fact that his dry spell was lost season halfway through,

1431
01:08:35,280 --> 01:08:38,280
and since then he's been firing, and he hasn't looked like he's going to stop.

1432
01:08:38,280 --> 01:08:41,280
He was quite wasteful in the Champions League without being seen.

1433
01:08:41,280 --> 01:08:42,280
But anyway.

1434
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:45,280
Yeah, we can't discount the fact that they will have a dry spell,

1435
01:08:45,280 --> 01:08:46,280
but nonetheless.

1436
01:08:46,280 --> 01:08:48,280
Strikers do suffer from confidence, of course.

1437
01:08:48,280 --> 01:08:51,280
If they don't score goals, they do get in their head many times.

1438
01:08:51,280 --> 01:08:54,280
But yeah, we did see Stewart speaking of strikers today.

1439
01:08:54,280 --> 01:08:57,280
He did not have his iconic hairstyle, however.

1440
01:08:57,280 --> 01:08:58,280
He didn't.

1441
01:08:58,280 --> 01:08:59,280
And it pissed me off.

1442
01:08:59,280 --> 01:09:00,280
Fucking lame.

1443
01:09:00,280 --> 01:09:01,280
I know, I know.

1444
01:09:01,280 --> 01:09:03,280
I didn't even recognize him at first.

1445
01:09:03,280 --> 01:09:04,280
I hope it didn't.

1446
01:09:04,280 --> 01:09:07,280
But it was like Stewart coming on from the Jamaican league.

1447
01:09:07,280 --> 01:09:11,280
I hope we didn't fucking make himself conscious about his hairstyle.

1448
01:09:11,280 --> 01:09:14,280
Well, his Wikipedia literally says he's six foot with his hair.

1449
01:09:14,280 --> 01:09:15,280
Yeah.

1450
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:17,280
You remove his hair, and he's no longer that tight.

1451
01:09:17,280 --> 01:09:19,280
That's why he doesn't, we're just in there.

1452
01:09:19,280 --> 01:09:24,280
Yes, Simone and Zaghi's game management was great.

1453
01:09:24,280 --> 01:09:26,280
Of course, starting with Lautauer of the Bench,

1454
01:09:26,280 --> 01:09:30,280
resting him and then bringing him on and blowing up his confidence.

1455
01:09:30,280 --> 01:09:33,280
Alex Sanchez played a pretty good game to be on and showing us

1456
01:09:33,280 --> 01:09:36,280
that he should not be taken for granted as a player.

1457
01:09:36,280 --> 01:09:39,280
He did have a goal contribution every other game for Marseille as well,

1458
01:09:39,280 --> 01:09:42,280
despite his age nowadays.

1459
01:09:42,280 --> 01:09:46,280
But yeah, Inter, solid as ever, Salah and Atana looked like they were in control.

1460
01:09:46,280 --> 01:09:47,280
Nothing in control.

1461
01:09:47,280 --> 01:09:51,280
It looked like they were hanging in there for the vast majority of the game.

1462
01:09:51,280 --> 01:09:55,280
But eventually they came undone, and I think they stopped trying towards the end

1463
01:09:55,280 --> 01:09:59,280
because Lautauer, they didn't even bother to pick him up

1464
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:03,280
as he moved back away from two central defenders while they were flabbergasted.

1465
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:09,280
Well, they had an equaliser cancelled, and then they conceded shortly after that.

1466
01:10:09,280 --> 01:10:13,280
It could have very much been a tunel victory,

1467
01:10:13,280 --> 01:10:16,280
but it's foreign, because they were probably so demoralized after

1468
01:10:16,280 --> 01:10:20,280
getting their goal cancelled and then conceding another one straight after.

1469
01:10:20,280 --> 01:10:23,280
Now, there's a tunel or a foreign, you know,

1470
01:10:23,280 --> 01:10:26,280
that didn't make too much of a difference for them over there.

1471
01:10:26,280 --> 01:10:30,280
Also, bro, before I conclude this game, it is worth noting

1472
01:10:30,280 --> 01:10:34,280
football is a hilarious sport,

1473
01:10:34,280 --> 01:10:39,280
because you've got people of all shapes and sizes from different parts of the world, right?

1474
01:10:39,280 --> 01:10:42,280
And you can have two people stood right next to each other.

1475
01:10:42,280 --> 01:10:45,280
You can have, for example, let's you say, an example,

1476
01:10:45,280 --> 01:10:48,280
you can have Luca and Streffetza stood next to each other.

1477
01:10:48,280 --> 01:10:52,280
Now imagine you're at a bar and you meet these two guys,

1478
01:10:52,280 --> 01:10:54,280
and you're having a chat with them.

1479
01:10:54,280 --> 01:10:56,280
Jesus, what is this? A freak show?

1480
01:10:56,280 --> 01:11:00,280
But it's crazy that they play the same sport.

1481
01:11:00,280 --> 01:11:02,280
In basketball, everyone's the same size.

1482
01:11:02,280 --> 01:11:04,280
Rugby, they do have kind of a similar structure.

1483
01:11:04,280 --> 01:11:06,280
There are body types.

1484
01:11:06,280 --> 01:11:08,280
Football, you can have pretty much any body type,

1485
01:11:08,280 --> 01:11:11,280
and it's crazy to watch these body types go head to head.

1486
01:11:11,280 --> 01:11:14,280
You had in this game, you had Denzel, Danfries, and Brotherage.

1487
01:11:14,280 --> 01:11:19,280
Going head to head on the wing and really battling it out.

1488
01:11:19,280 --> 01:11:22,280
And you can see Brotherage really trying to win this 50-50.

1489
01:11:22,280 --> 01:11:25,280
But he simply couldn't.

1490
01:11:25,280 --> 01:11:30,280
And he's just shrugging and pushing and pulling and tugging at Danfries.

1491
01:11:30,280 --> 01:11:32,280
And he just couldn't dispossess him.

1492
01:11:32,280 --> 01:11:36,280
Danfries eventually just drove past the bottle of the RON, scored whatever.

1493
01:11:36,280 --> 01:11:39,280
But it is funny seeing these people, you know, football.

1494
01:11:39,280 --> 01:11:41,280
You don't see them in many other sports.

1495
01:11:41,280 --> 01:11:44,280
It's true, man. Even I was thinking rugby.

1496
01:11:44,280 --> 01:11:48,280
Sure they've got winger and whatever they call those people.

1497
01:11:48,280 --> 01:11:49,280
Quarterbacks?

1498
01:11:49,280 --> 01:11:52,280
Yeah, quarterbacks and all those.

1499
01:11:52,280 --> 01:11:57,280
It's typically if you're the tackler in that sense, you're a bit bigger.

1500
01:11:57,280 --> 01:12:01,280
If you're a winger, you're a bit more frail, you're a bit smaller.

1501
01:12:01,280 --> 01:12:04,280
But not too notable.

1502
01:12:04,280 --> 01:12:10,280
Like you say, a 6'7 look up against a 5'3 strefetza.

1503
01:12:10,280 --> 01:12:13,280
It's like pro clubs.

1504
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:16,280
You're a winger, just cross it to me, bro.

1505
01:12:16,280 --> 01:12:18,280
Let's show the nezzar would be pro clubs.

1506
01:12:18,280 --> 01:12:22,280
It's all the crazy hairstyles, the short band very tall, man.

1507
01:12:22,280 --> 01:12:23,280
Literally.

1508
01:12:23,280 --> 01:12:25,280
Okay, yeah. But that concludes it.

1509
01:12:25,280 --> 01:12:31,280
As for their position in the table, notice how slow I am speaking.

1510
01:12:31,280 --> 01:12:34,280
As for their position in the table.

1511
01:12:34,280 --> 01:12:36,280
To buy myself some time to put it up.

1512
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:38,280
Rix on AI bought. I just never told you guys.

1513
01:12:38,280 --> 01:12:40,280
This is my podcast.

1514
01:12:40,280 --> 01:12:42,280
Exactly. And he is Jake Fennec.

1515
01:12:42,280 --> 01:12:47,280
Now, Inter are first with 18 points while Salah Netana sit in 18th with 3 points.

1516
01:12:47,280 --> 01:12:49,280
Fun fact about Salah Netana.

1517
01:12:49,280 --> 01:12:54,280
They are actually thinking of recalling Simi in Wankwo.

1518
01:12:54,280 --> 01:13:00,280
And for the OGs and the loyal listeners of this podcast,

1519
01:13:00,280 --> 01:13:04,280
you would know that I have a very special place in my heart for Simi in Wankwo.

1520
01:13:04,280 --> 01:13:08,280
I think he's a very fun footballer to watch ultimate underdog.

1521
01:13:08,280 --> 01:13:13,280
Six foot six, lanky, Nigerian should have no business playing at the top level.

1522
01:13:13,280 --> 01:13:16,280
And he did so and he thrived for that one season with Proto and Aparto.

1523
01:13:16,280 --> 01:13:19,280
The highest scoring.

1524
01:13:19,280 --> 01:13:28,280
Well, rather, let me say top three highest scoring African strikers in Syria in a singular season.

1525
01:13:28,280 --> 01:13:31,280
I'm not sure if Osiman overtook him.

1526
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:36,280
I'm not sure if he has more than at all in a singular season, but he's in the top three.

1527
01:13:36,280 --> 01:13:41,280
Yes, yes, I'm not sure which word they're in, but they're definitely those three guys.

1528
01:13:41,280 --> 01:13:45,280
Yes, they're thinking of calling him up again because Dia isn't quite himself

1529
01:13:45,280 --> 01:13:49,280
and he's not in the best condition at the moment, plus the whole drama with him.

1530
01:13:49,280 --> 01:13:52,280
Trying to force a move to Wolves last minute.

1531
01:13:52,280 --> 01:13:56,280
And the fact that Ikumwe, as the other striker, is currently injured,

1532
01:13:56,280 --> 01:13:58,280
which puts him in a bit of a crisis.

1533
01:13:58,280 --> 01:14:01,280
They'll be calling up Simi in Wampo and that'll be fun.

1534
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:04,280
Not saying he's going to be good, but it'll be fun to watch.

1535
01:14:04,280 --> 01:14:08,280
No disrespect to Ulvar Amton Wanderers.

1536
01:14:08,280 --> 01:14:10,280
Very important club.

1537
01:14:10,280 --> 01:14:16,280
Anyway, the next game we're going to be covering is, you remember Letre's great start.

1538
01:14:16,280 --> 01:14:18,280
They've had a bit of a collapse.

1539
01:14:18,280 --> 01:14:20,280
Letre and Nile, Napoli four.

1540
01:14:20,280 --> 01:14:27,280
If there's one team naturally that you lose by that margin to Napoli are strong contenders to take that position.

1541
01:14:27,280 --> 01:14:33,280
Letre were coming off a 1-0 loss against Juve during this tough spell for them

1542
01:14:33,280 --> 01:14:36,280
where they're facing some of the best teams in the league.

1543
01:14:36,280 --> 01:14:42,280
While Napoli were coming off a 4-1 victory against Odinez and Napoli can't stop scoring right now.

1544
01:14:42,280 --> 01:14:45,280
Thrilling match against Real Madrid yesterday.

1545
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:46,280
Oh my God.

1546
01:14:46,280 --> 01:14:49,280
They were unlucky to lose the game over there.

1547
01:14:49,280 --> 01:14:56,280
Great goal by Valverde that went down as a meret own goal.

1548
01:14:56,280 --> 01:15:02,280
Coming into this game, Letre had lost four of their last six matches against Napoli and Serie A.

1549
01:15:02,280 --> 01:15:05,280
No massive surprises over there.

1550
01:15:05,280 --> 01:15:10,280
Hezus and Rahmani were still injured while Lindstorm got his first start

1551
01:15:10,280 --> 01:15:13,280
and Ossiman was rested ahead of the Real Madrid match.

1552
01:15:13,280 --> 01:15:19,280
The host missed Lamaq Banda, Kastjod Dermaku and a suspended Mohamed Kaaba.

1553
01:15:19,280 --> 01:15:24,280
As for the lineups, it was a 4-3-3 formation for both teams starting with Letre.

1554
01:15:24,280 --> 01:15:30,280
It was Falcone in goal and a backline of Gallo, Basquerotto, Pongracic and Jean Dre.

1555
01:15:30,280 --> 01:15:37,280
They had Blin, Ramadani and Rafia in the midfield with Strefetze and Almecifist flanking Christovic.

1556
01:15:37,280 --> 01:15:44,280
The 4-3-3 for Napoli featured Meret between the sticks and a backline of Di Lorenzo, Ostegaard, Natan and Oliveira

1557
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:52,280
and Guisalo Botkanzi-Elinski in the midfield with Lindstorm and Gvarracchelia flanking Giovanni Simeone.

1558
01:15:52,280 --> 01:15:59,280
On the 16th minute, the scoring was opened by Ostegaard who actually also scored against Real Madrid this week.

1559
01:15:59,280 --> 01:16:04,280
Zielinski crossed the ball in with an in-swinger to the far post from a free kick

1560
01:16:04,280 --> 01:16:08,280
and Ostegaard rose highest heading in, great in the air.

1561
01:16:08,280 --> 01:16:11,280
Good finish over there by the Norwegian man, shoutout Alen.

1562
01:16:11,280 --> 01:16:15,280
In the 39th minute, Simeone almost scored a wonder goal.

1563
01:16:15,280 --> 01:16:20,280
He linked up with Zielinski outside the box with a quick one-two before his powerful strike curled

1564
01:16:20,280 --> 01:16:25,280
just wide in the last second, Falcone was absolutely glued to the spot over there.

1565
01:16:25,280 --> 01:16:29,280
It would have been a wicked goal and a contender for goal of the week.

1566
01:16:29,280 --> 01:16:32,280
In the second half, Ostegaard made a 2-0 for Napoli.

1567
01:16:32,280 --> 01:16:37,280
Quaradona was so fast on this counterattack that he took the eye out of Ramadani.

1568
01:16:37,280 --> 01:16:43,280
He beat the Albanian for a pace down the flank before fainting across and killing Ramadani

1569
01:16:43,280 --> 01:16:47,280
once again before his in-swinging cross was headed by Victor Ostegaard.

1570
01:16:47,280 --> 01:16:51,280
Ostegaard won his bullies nil.

1571
01:16:51,280 --> 01:16:55,280
In the 88th minute, Napoli youth product, Gaetano Sportes...

1572
01:16:55,280 --> 01:16:58,280
Hey! Don't call Taano that.

1573
01:17:01,280 --> 01:17:06,280
Gaetani, Gaetano... my god, I can't say his name.

1574
01:17:06,280 --> 01:17:09,280
You just called him Gaetano.

1575
01:17:11,280 --> 01:17:13,280
Fuck you, you did this to me.

1576
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:18,280
In the 88th minute, Gaetano scored his first goal for Napoli after coming up through the ranks

1577
01:17:18,280 --> 01:17:22,280
at the club that he loves and it was a wonderful goal at that, making it 3-0

1578
01:17:22,280 --> 01:17:24,280
after linking up with Raspidori.

1579
01:17:24,280 --> 01:17:29,280
Raspidori found Gaetano down in space, in space down the middle, rather,

1580
01:17:29,280 --> 01:17:34,280
and the hometown boy did well to faint a shot and smashed the ball into the corner from the edge of the area,

1581
01:17:34,280 --> 01:17:38,280
leaving Falcone rooted to the spot. This, in my opinion, was a contender for goal of the week.

1582
01:17:38,280 --> 01:17:39,280
Yeah, it was great.

1583
01:17:39,280 --> 01:17:44,280
We forgot to mention it. It was similar to the attempted strike of Giovanni Simeone earlier. Bam.

1584
01:17:44,280 --> 01:17:49,280
In the 93rd minute, Poletano put the final nail in the coffin of Lecce.

1585
01:17:49,280 --> 01:17:52,280
He sent Falcone the wrong way from the spot making it 4.

1586
01:17:52,280 --> 01:17:57,280
The penalty was won by Gaetano, who was wrested to the ground by Rammadani.

1587
01:17:57,280 --> 01:18:00,280
Bit of a mere for Rammadani in this game, huh?

1588
01:18:00,280 --> 01:18:03,280
He didn't have a great time, huh? It must be said.

1589
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:08,280
He was at the centre of this Lecce team that was facing an Alpolite team.

1590
01:18:08,280 --> 01:18:14,280
That's furious at the moment. He's going to be, you know, his main competitor, this game,

1591
01:18:14,280 --> 01:18:20,280
his direct opponent in 2-4-3-3 formations was Lobotka, so he didn't really stand a chance at the end.

1592
01:18:20,280 --> 01:18:23,280
Lobotka was flanked by Anguissa and Zilinski.

1593
01:18:23,280 --> 01:18:28,280
So, yeah, he didn't really stand much of a chance for Rammadani over there.

1594
01:18:28,280 --> 01:18:31,280
Yeah, man, tough gig, tough gig for him.

1595
01:18:31,280 --> 01:18:36,280
I want to highlight naturally, Ostegard's two goals in two games for Napoli,

1596
01:18:36,280 --> 01:18:39,280
obviously scoring midweek against Real Madrid.

1597
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:43,280
There's no joke, albeit they didn't manage a victory over there.

1598
01:18:43,280 --> 01:18:46,280
And a good goal over here to open the scoring.

1599
01:18:46,280 --> 01:18:49,280
He actually opened the scoring in both of those games, that's what we did.

1600
01:18:49,280 --> 01:18:55,280
But good in the air, he's still quite a young centre-back.

1601
01:18:55,280 --> 01:18:57,280
He's played in the Premier League before.

1602
01:18:57,280 --> 01:19:03,280
And with Kim leaving, with Rahmani injured,

1603
01:19:03,280 --> 01:19:09,280
Napoli had to make do with a new centre-back partnership of Ostegard and Natan.

1604
01:19:09,280 --> 01:19:12,280
Yeah, 22-year-old and a 23-year-old.

1605
01:19:12,280 --> 01:19:13,280
They both looked good, man.

1606
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:15,280
Natan's looked good, it's true as well.

1607
01:19:15,280 --> 01:19:18,280
Natan's recovery is very good.

1608
01:19:18,280 --> 01:19:23,280
He has good pace getting back, which allows him or Ostegard to push forward.

1609
01:19:23,280 --> 01:19:27,280
More typically, you see Ostegard joining the attack for the aerial duels

1610
01:19:27,280 --> 01:19:32,280
and Natan is really capable of dropping back and stopping any kind of counter-attacks

1611
01:19:32,280 --> 01:19:34,280
over there.

1612
01:19:34,280 --> 01:19:40,280
I also wanted to point out, brother, that this was particularly uncharacteristic

1613
01:19:40,280 --> 01:19:45,280
of Lecce, because Lecce, last season, we went on earlier

1614
01:19:45,280 --> 01:19:48,280
about how they never conceded more than two goals up until the last match there,

1615
01:19:48,280 --> 01:19:50,280
when they conceded three, I believe it was.

1616
01:19:50,280 --> 01:19:54,280
But yeah, this time they have been blown out of the water four-nil

1617
01:19:54,280 --> 01:19:57,280
against, Annopoli's side was weaker than the Annopoli's side of last season.

1618
01:19:57,280 --> 01:20:01,280
Granted, they're no walk in the park still.

1619
01:20:01,280 --> 01:20:08,280
But in a season where Lecce looked like they could give any of the big teams a hard time.

1620
01:20:08,280 --> 01:20:12,280
So this result did surprise me.

1621
01:20:12,280 --> 01:20:16,280
It was definitely a real little check for Lecce, and I think Annopoli scoring early

1622
01:20:16,280 --> 01:20:20,280
really disrupted the flow, because the rest of the half, sure, Lecce were cautious.

1623
01:20:20,280 --> 01:20:23,280
They didn't concede again, but then in the second half, they had to go for something,

1624
01:20:23,280 --> 01:20:28,280
and that's when they opened themselves up for Rosé Mente score in the 51st minute.

1625
01:20:28,280 --> 01:20:31,280
Two early goals, one early in the first half, one early in the second,

1626
01:20:31,280 --> 01:20:37,280
and then at the end they were just trying to get something, and Annopoli basically got them in the 88th and the 93rd.

1627
01:20:37,280 --> 01:20:43,280
Yeah, I mean, they pretty much, well, they scored before Rosé Mente even came on,

1628
01:20:43,280 --> 01:20:47,280
which obviously is great for Annopoli.

1629
01:20:47,280 --> 01:20:54,280
I think the early goal did wonders for Annopoli rather than it did negatively to Lecce,

1630
01:20:54,280 --> 01:20:58,280
because we've seen Lecce get back into games and do this and that,

1631
01:20:58,280 --> 01:21:01,280
but what Annopoli really managed to do over here is start with a bang,

1632
01:21:01,280 --> 01:21:05,280
and once you see Annopoli get an early goal over there, then their fluidity goes up,

1633
01:21:05,280 --> 01:21:08,280
they start linking up and attacking and attacking and attacking,

1634
01:21:08,280 --> 01:21:13,280
and then they brought Ossimenon with a bit of a chip on his shoulder over there.

1635
01:21:13,280 --> 01:21:16,280
Gvara Dona seems like he's back on it as well.

1636
01:21:16,280 --> 01:21:18,280
He had a good game over here.

1637
01:21:18,280 --> 01:21:21,280
He had been a bit quiet for a while, seems like he was a bit in his head.

1638
01:21:21,280 --> 01:21:30,280
We are starting to see last year's version of him slowly, slowly coming through.

1639
01:21:30,280 --> 01:21:33,280
The last thing I want to highlight for Annopoli is essentially Gaetano,

1640
01:21:33,280 --> 01:21:36,280
because he got his first goal, it was a very impressive fashion.

1641
01:21:36,280 --> 01:21:40,280
He's a player whose profile I'm not too aware of,

1642
01:21:40,280 --> 01:21:45,280
because we haven't seen much of him in the past, but he did look very good in this game.

1643
01:21:45,280 --> 01:21:48,280
He did, and he's been waiting for his opportunity,

1644
01:21:48,280 --> 01:21:53,280
and he's most definitely a talented player, so it is nice to see him getting his

1645
01:21:53,280 --> 01:21:57,280
well-deserved goal over there, Gaetano, only 23 years old.

1646
01:21:57,280 --> 01:22:00,280
He looks solid, you know?

1647
01:22:00,280 --> 01:22:02,280
It's difficult to break into a team like Annopoli.

1648
01:22:02,280 --> 01:22:05,280
But he'll get his opportunities under this new management,

1649
01:22:05,280 --> 01:22:10,280
who is rotating the team quite a bit, making all of his substitutions,

1650
01:22:10,280 --> 01:22:15,280
essentially in every single game, bringing on Gaetano, bringing on Raspadori,

1651
01:22:15,280 --> 01:22:20,280
bringing on Elmas, bringing on Giovanni Simeone.

1652
01:22:20,280 --> 01:22:24,280
He's really, really introducing all of these players into the team.

1653
01:22:24,280 --> 01:22:29,280
Fuck me, in this game he started Lindstrom ahead of Poletano.

1654
01:22:29,280 --> 01:22:32,280
Just one last thing, actually, that I want to mention.

1655
01:22:32,280 --> 01:22:33,280
I have one as well, so two.

1656
01:22:33,280 --> 01:22:35,280
Two things I want to mention about Napoli.

1657
01:22:35,280 --> 01:22:37,280
Ossimen seems to be off penalty duties.

1658
01:22:37,280 --> 01:22:38,280
Yes.

1659
01:22:38,280 --> 01:22:41,280
The Elinsky, Poletano, who saw the Elinsky step up against Real Madrid

1660
01:22:41,280 --> 01:22:44,280
and in the game earlier, to this against Odinesa.

1661
01:22:44,280 --> 01:22:49,280
And Poletano stepping up in this game in the 1930s.

1662
01:22:49,280 --> 01:22:52,280
I mean, even when he was Capocano near, Ossimen was never on penalties.

1663
01:22:52,280 --> 01:22:57,280
I think it's only natural now that you give penalties to your top scorer,

1664
01:22:57,280 --> 01:23:00,280
and he keeps confidence high, his numbers high, he keeps his value high.

1665
01:23:00,280 --> 01:23:01,280
You know what I mean?

1666
01:23:01,280 --> 01:23:02,280
Yeah.

1667
01:23:02,280 --> 01:23:05,280
Of course, I'm sure Ossimen said, listen, I'm going to stay here.

1668
01:23:05,280 --> 01:23:08,280
I have many offers, I'm going to reject them, but I need penalty duty.

1669
01:23:08,280 --> 01:23:10,280
I think I want to be on penalty duty.

1670
01:23:10,280 --> 01:23:12,280
I think at that point, anyone in the right mind will tell me,

1671
01:23:12,280 --> 01:23:14,280
yes, Victor, no problem.

1672
01:23:14,280 --> 01:23:18,280
But after the whole thing that happened, it's obviously natural

1673
01:23:18,280 --> 01:23:22,280
that maybe he won't want to be on them, especially in the Champions League,

1674
01:23:22,280 --> 01:23:25,280
when the whole world is watching after what happened.

1675
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:27,280
Man's gone over, I think, appealing up and like,

1676
01:23:27,280 --> 01:23:29,280
give me penalty, please.

1677
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:32,280
He's going to be like, are they going to make fun of the way I'm asking?

1678
01:23:32,280 --> 01:23:38,280
But the point that I wanted to make was that Gvarnatskélias

1679
01:23:38,280 --> 01:23:42,280
hadn't scored or assisted in seven months.

1680
01:23:42,280 --> 01:23:44,280
Seven months it had been.

1681
01:23:44,280 --> 01:23:47,280
And this game, he both scored and assisted.

1682
01:23:47,280 --> 01:23:51,280
So this game, to me, can be viewed as a game of relief for Noppen.

1683
01:23:51,280 --> 01:23:56,280
A weight lifted off their shoulders because they were away to a letreside,

1684
01:23:56,280 --> 01:23:58,280
who once again never concedes more than two goals.

1685
01:23:58,280 --> 01:24:03,280
A letreside that has been giving the top teams a hard time this year

1686
01:24:03,280 --> 01:24:06,280
and has broken into the top four early on this season,

1687
01:24:06,280 --> 01:24:08,280
so they were no walk in the park.

1688
01:24:08,280 --> 01:24:10,280
The manager was manager of the month.

1689
01:24:10,280 --> 01:24:14,280
They have Krzysztof, who was on fire, Alam Wist and Strefetsa, who looked dangerous,

1690
01:24:14,280 --> 01:24:16,280
with Lechri and that defense.

1691
01:24:16,280 --> 01:24:20,280
So yeah, you have Ozzyman scoring after the drama.

1692
01:24:20,280 --> 01:24:23,280
Granted, he didn't celebrate as usual, crazy self.

1693
01:24:23,280 --> 01:24:30,280
But it was probably a relief for the Noppen fans to see Ozzyman scoring,

1694
01:24:30,280 --> 01:24:32,280
to see Gvarnatskélias getting on the score sheet as well,

1695
01:24:32,280 --> 01:24:34,280
plus providing an assist.

1696
01:24:34,280 --> 01:24:37,280
And then, you know, a youth product scoring a goal as well.

1697
01:24:37,280 --> 01:24:39,280
It was a game of relief for Noppen.

1698
01:24:39,280 --> 01:24:43,280
Yeah, and a new centre-back partnership doing well, keeping a clean sheet.

1699
01:24:43,280 --> 01:24:52,280
Very clean victory for Noppen, who find themselves in third place on 14 points,

1700
01:24:52,280 --> 01:24:56,280
whilst Lechri find themselves down in seventh on 11 points.

1701
01:24:56,280 --> 01:25:02,280
Down in seventh, I said, because they were third last week, literally.

1702
01:25:02,280 --> 01:25:05,280
Next up, Roma 2, Frosinone Nill,

1703
01:25:05,280 --> 01:25:08,280
Roma secure a vital 2-nil victory at the Stadiolimpo,

1704
01:25:08,280 --> 01:25:10,280
after a challenging start to the season.

1705
01:25:10,280 --> 01:25:14,280
They needed a response and they got it in style against the Frosinone side,

1706
01:25:14,280 --> 01:25:16,280
that simply won't bend over.

1707
01:25:16,280 --> 01:25:19,280
And even in this game, these guys are here to play.

1708
01:25:19,280 --> 01:25:21,280
They don't give a fuck with these.

1709
01:25:21,280 --> 01:25:23,280
You think this was a clean and easy 2-nil victory?

1710
01:25:23,280 --> 01:25:24,280
No trust.

1711
01:25:24,280 --> 01:25:26,280
Clean maybe, but it wasn't easy at all.

1712
01:25:26,280 --> 01:25:28,280
In their previous match against Vincenno,

1713
01:25:28,280 --> 01:25:32,280
Roma faced an unpredictable set-back, conceding four goals in newly promoted sides,

1714
01:25:32,280 --> 01:25:34,280
so when they faced an informed Frosinone,

1715
01:25:34,280 --> 01:25:36,280
a positive reaction was crucial,

1716
01:25:36,280 --> 01:25:38,280
because you cannot have two upsets in a row,

1717
01:25:38,280 --> 01:25:41,280
without calibrated to newly promoted sides.

1718
01:25:41,280 --> 01:25:44,280
Roma have faced Frosinone five times in Serie A,

1719
01:25:44,280 --> 01:25:47,280
winning each time with an aggregate of 14-3.

1720
01:25:47,280 --> 01:25:49,280
Oh wow, okay.

1721
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:53,280
So Roma, 3-4-2-1, Rui Patricio, Mancini, Cristante and Dica,

1722
01:25:53,280 --> 01:25:57,280
Carzorpe, Bovee, Paredes, Penazzola, the Balapelle, Grini, Locapu.

1723
01:25:57,280 --> 01:25:59,280
I'm not gonna say any words, just players.

1724
01:25:59,280 --> 01:26:02,280
Frosinone, 5-4-1.

1725
01:26:02,280 --> 01:26:04,280
The Rati was in gold now.

1726
01:26:04,280 --> 01:26:06,280
The Rati was in gold, Marquitta was out on the left,

1727
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:08,280
Oghana was out on the right, with three centre-backs,

1728
01:26:08,280 --> 01:26:10,280
Coli, Roma, Newoli and Monterizzi,

1729
01:26:10,280 --> 01:26:12,280
Sule was out on the right again.

1730
01:26:12,280 --> 01:26:14,280
Jame Baez was out on the left,

1731
01:26:14,280 --> 01:26:17,280
Mazzatelli and Berence were in the middle with Cuni up front.

1732
01:26:17,280 --> 01:26:19,280
Alright, then interesting wave,

1733
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:22,280
pronouncing Berence and I'm curious to see if we're butchering it or not.

1734
01:26:22,280 --> 01:26:24,280
What did the commentator call him again? Berenchia?

1735
01:26:24,280 --> 01:26:26,280
I can't remember.

1736
01:26:26,280 --> 01:26:29,280
But anyway, Frosinone threatened early on with Marvin Cuni,

1737
01:26:29,280 --> 01:26:32,280
narrowly missing the target after rounding Rui Patricio,

1738
01:26:32,280 --> 01:26:34,280
providing an early scare for Roma.

1739
01:26:34,280 --> 01:26:38,280
However, it was big Rome who would seal the show for Roma

1740
01:26:38,280 --> 01:26:40,280
just four minutes after Cuni's near miss.

1741
01:26:40,280 --> 01:26:43,280
Locapu found himself one-on-one with Frosinone,

1742
01:26:43,280 --> 01:26:46,280
a defence thanks to a clever assist from Paolo de Bala.

1743
01:26:46,280 --> 01:26:49,280
Locapu demonstrated his composure, clinical finishing,

1744
01:26:49,280 --> 01:26:51,280
everything, his experience.

1745
01:26:51,280 --> 01:26:55,280
He slotted the ball into the bottom corner to give Roma a one lead.

1746
01:26:55,280 --> 01:26:59,280
Boyed by this breakthrough, Roma pressed to extend their advantage

1747
01:26:59,280 --> 01:27:01,280
before half-time.

1748
01:27:01,280 --> 01:27:04,280
Surprisingly, it was Frosinone who looked more threatening in the final third,

1749
01:27:04,280 --> 01:27:06,280
despite their impressive play,

1750
01:27:06,280 --> 01:27:10,280
Frosinone struggled with finishing as Cuni and Mazzatelli missed promising opportunities.

1751
01:27:10,280 --> 01:27:13,280
Locapu almost came close to scoring a second as well,

1752
01:27:13,280 --> 01:27:16,280
but he was denied by the talented Stefano Turati.

1753
01:27:16,280 --> 01:27:19,280
In the second half, Frosinone, unbeaten in their first five games,

1754
01:27:19,280 --> 01:27:21,280
refused to back down and sought an equaliser.

1755
01:27:21,280 --> 01:27:26,280
However, Roma had a chance to double their lead when Eduardo Bova's shot was saved by Turati.

1756
01:27:26,280 --> 01:27:30,280
The game remained on a knife's edge with Roma searching for a decisive second goal.

1757
01:27:30,280 --> 01:27:34,280
Rasmus Christensen nearly made an immediate impact of the bench with a header,

1758
01:27:34,280 --> 01:27:38,280
but Roma's Lorenzo Pellegrini would ultimately secure the victory,

1759
01:27:38,280 --> 01:27:41,280
honestly seconds after Mati lost for it, because he had some un-fantasy with Bala.

1760
01:27:41,280 --> 01:27:44,280
Give me a Pellegrini goal, please, and he got it immediately.

1761
01:27:44,280 --> 01:27:48,280
Yeah, I have Pellegrini in the other one, so you won't see him in my team.

1762
01:27:48,280 --> 01:27:52,280
But I won this one in our six-one, so I didn't need anything.

1763
01:27:52,280 --> 01:27:54,280
Well, it was a Pellegrini goal to win that one.

1764
01:27:54,280 --> 01:27:56,280
I'm telling you, it's for bringing up the other one.

1765
01:27:56,280 --> 01:27:58,280
Yes, the other one, Shant, we mentioned again.

1766
01:27:58,280 --> 01:28:05,280
In the 75th minute, of course, this was Pellegrini capitalised on a superb delivery from the Bala,

1767
01:28:05,280 --> 01:28:07,280
tapping the ball into the back of the net.

1768
01:28:07,280 --> 01:28:11,280
This goal sealed the win for Roma, providing a much needed moral boost.

1769
01:28:11,280 --> 01:28:13,280
So what can we talk about over here, bro?

1770
01:28:13,280 --> 01:28:17,280
Let's start off by praising Paulo Dabala, who's been run to the ground

1771
01:28:17,280 --> 01:28:21,280
and this tight fixture is playing every game, and he still managed to get to assist

1772
01:28:21,280 --> 01:28:23,280
and looks quite sharp in this game.

1773
01:28:23,280 --> 01:28:30,280
Yeah, well, thankfully he's fit in this tight period, because Lukaku looks fucking good.

1774
01:28:30,280 --> 01:28:36,280
And I think a large reason to that is Paulo Dabala.

1775
01:28:36,280 --> 01:28:42,280
I think the striking partnership of Dabala Lukaku is one that I really see working

1776
01:28:42,280 --> 01:28:44,280
under Morinho and with the team around them.

1777
01:28:44,280 --> 01:28:51,280
It's the classic, you've got a small creative one that's going to create space for Lukaku,

1778
01:28:51,280 --> 01:28:53,280
for the big guy, he's going to feed him.

1779
01:28:53,280 --> 01:28:58,280
He's great around the box and inside the box and that's carrying the ball forward.

1780
01:28:58,280 --> 01:29:03,280
Whilst Lukaku is there for aerial prowess, a lot of power back towards goal, laying it off to him.

1781
01:29:03,280 --> 01:29:06,280
It is perfect, it's a match made in heaven.

1782
01:29:06,280 --> 01:29:11,280
They compliment each other really well and they showcase it really well in this game.

1783
01:29:11,280 --> 01:29:14,280
Yeah, totally, totally agree with you.

1784
01:29:14,280 --> 01:29:20,280
I must say as well that Frosinone tactically were set up pretty well because they did have their opportunities.

1785
01:29:20,280 --> 01:29:26,280
However, of course, the lack of quality was evident, especially in the final third.

1786
01:29:26,280 --> 01:29:29,280
Kuni didn't quite cut this game.

1787
01:29:29,280 --> 01:29:37,280
I prefer Kedira, but lack of quality to an extent, yes.

1788
01:29:37,280 --> 01:29:47,280
But it's just, I don't want to be harsh on Frosinone because a way to Roma, it was like two top seven teams played against each other.

1789
01:29:47,280 --> 01:29:49,280
They gave them a fucking heart.

1790
01:29:49,280 --> 01:29:55,280
Roma needed to fucking take it up a notch to beat Frosinone.

1791
01:29:55,280 --> 01:29:58,280
They did, they had a spectacular game, Roma.

1792
01:29:58,280 --> 01:30:00,280
This was their best game yet this season.

1793
01:30:00,280 --> 01:30:03,280
Yeah, they even have 50% ball possession, which is crazy.

1794
01:30:03,280 --> 01:30:12,280
11 shots, 5 on target, of course Frosinone didn't have any on target despite having a clear cut opportunity to be honest with Kuni over there.

1795
01:30:12,280 --> 01:30:19,280
But yes, let's hope that this does not demoralize Frosinone.

1796
01:30:19,280 --> 01:30:29,280
Let's hope that, if anything, I think they can hold their heads high that they managed to give Roma such a good game at the Olympics.

1797
01:30:29,280 --> 01:30:35,280
They'll be happy with that performance, not sure no one's ever happy with a loss, but they'll be happy with the performance.

1798
01:30:35,280 --> 01:30:37,280
They gave them a game, man.

1799
01:30:37,280 --> 01:30:43,280
Playing against each other, that's a struggling, amazing opportunity, but they're going to try even harder to beat you.

1800
01:30:43,280 --> 01:30:45,280
And it becomes a scrap.

1801
01:30:45,280 --> 01:30:53,280
So Roma find themselves in 13th with 8 points, while Frosinone find themselves in 9th with 9 points.

1802
01:30:53,280 --> 01:30:59,280
Yes, the next game we're going to be covering is Fiorentina 3-Kaliari-Nil.

1803
01:30:59,280 --> 01:31:08,280
Fiorentina coming off a 1-1 away draw to Hoade than Frosinone, while Skaliari were coming off a 3-1 home loss against AC Milan.

1804
01:31:08,280 --> 01:31:14,280
Fiorentina are unbeaten in their last 6 matches against Kaliari in Serie A, where they won 3-3 and drew 3,

1805
01:31:14,280 --> 01:31:20,280
conceding just one goal across this period, which came in a 1-1 draw in January 2022.

1806
01:31:20,280 --> 01:31:27,280
There were some unfortunate incidences that happened pre-match to this game.

1807
01:31:27,280 --> 01:31:31,280
There was some violence next to the Francki Stadium.

1808
01:31:31,280 --> 01:31:35,280
It was an altercation that occurred near the stadium.

1809
01:31:35,280 --> 01:31:43,280
Around 30 to 40 visiting Kaliari fans unleashed tear gas, wielded bars and damaged vehicles,

1810
01:31:43,280 --> 01:31:50,280
leading to a very volatile atmosphere between the two sets of fans.

1811
01:31:50,280 --> 01:31:56,280
The enforcement were in riot gear and intervening to this quite a big deal.

1812
01:31:56,280 --> 01:32:01,280
Do you know who was leading the charge in this Kaliari protest?

1813
01:32:01,280 --> 01:32:05,280
It's the guy from the video we posted.

1814
01:32:05,280 --> 01:32:07,280
Which one?

1815
01:32:07,280 --> 01:32:10,280
Oh, you know the one.

1816
01:32:10,280 --> 01:32:14,280
So yes, that created quite a hostile atmosphere.

1817
01:32:14,280 --> 01:32:17,280
Don't think that shit doesn't affect the players.

1818
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:19,280
Go watch a conference league final and see.

1819
01:32:19,280 --> 01:32:20,280
Injuries.

1820
01:32:20,280 --> 01:32:26,280
Fiorentina had Cassovilli, Dodo, Mina and Pierrozi out whilst Kaliari had Youngto, La Padula, Mancozu,

1821
01:32:26,280 --> 01:32:29,280
Rogue, Capra, Dossi and DeSorgus.

1822
01:32:29,280 --> 01:32:32,280
Whoever those last two are.

1823
01:32:32,280 --> 01:32:38,280
It was a 4-2-3-1 formation for Italianos men with Terra Ciano and Goal and a backline of Parisi,

1824
01:32:38,280 --> 01:32:44,280
Martinez, Quarta, Milenkovich and Cahjode on the right, Duncan and Arthur in the double pivot

1825
01:32:44,280 --> 01:32:49,280
with Brecalov, Bana Ventura and Nico Gonzalez playing behind Beltran.

1826
01:32:49,280 --> 01:32:53,280
4-4-2 for Kaliari, Radunovic in goal.

1827
01:32:53,280 --> 01:32:57,280
Christ be with me, give me a second.

1828
01:32:57,280 --> 01:33:05,280
Hatsi Diacos on the right with Vietesca and Dossena as the centre-backs with Augello on the left,

1829
01:33:05,280 --> 01:33:11,280
Zappa on the right midfielder, Nandes on the left midfielder, Deola and Makhumbu on the centre midfielder

1830
01:33:11,280 --> 01:33:13,280
with Shomorodov and Petania up front.

1831
01:33:13,280 --> 01:33:16,280
That was the least sexy way I've ever said a line up ever.

1832
01:33:16,280 --> 01:33:19,280
That was horrible, not mine was better when I said the names.

1833
01:33:19,280 --> 01:33:21,280
It's true, I'll just start doing that.

1834
01:33:21,280 --> 01:33:26,280
In the third minute Gonzalez opened the scoring, I also asked for that.

1835
01:33:26,280 --> 01:33:33,280
Radunovic failed together across as he collided with Dossena the centre-back and the ball fell to Gonzalez

1836
01:33:33,280 --> 01:33:36,280
who finished into an empty net, very easy goal for him.

1837
01:33:36,280 --> 01:33:39,280
But you know what, right place, right time, man's on hot form.

1838
01:33:39,280 --> 01:33:44,280
In the seventh minute, Milenkovic won the award for the stupidest back pass in history

1839
01:33:44,280 --> 01:33:47,280
after passing it directly to Nandes.

1840
01:33:47,280 --> 01:33:53,280
Without even looking up, he wasn't looking up, he just passed it, softly, like he's gonna pass back to his keeper.

1841
01:33:53,280 --> 01:33:57,280
Bro, if I was the manager, I would have killed him.

1842
01:33:57,280 --> 01:34:01,280
It was so laxid, easy, it's frustrating to watch.

1843
01:34:01,280 --> 01:34:06,280
Nandes was cleaned through on goal and despite rounding Terraciano, he was unable to score

1844
01:34:06,280 --> 01:34:10,280
as it was Cajote who cleared the ball off the line.

1845
01:34:10,280 --> 01:34:17,280
In the 21st minute, Dossena put the ball into the back of his own net, making it too near for Fiorentina.

1846
01:34:17,280 --> 01:34:24,280
He failed to react to Cajote's low crossing time as the ball struck his leg and hit the back of the net.

1847
01:34:24,280 --> 01:34:33,280
Nightmare for him, he was also the one that collided with Radonovic in the first goal, so very unfortunate game of football for him over there.

1848
01:34:33,280 --> 01:34:40,280
Fiorentina held on to position for the majority of the rest of the game over here,

1849
01:34:40,280 --> 01:34:43,280
which is an observation we really showcase to the girls, being like,

1850
01:34:43,280 --> 01:34:47,280
look, you think they're attacking right now because the girls are on Zalag.

1851
01:34:47,280 --> 01:34:53,280
They got it in the 93rd minute, wasn't enough for them, but great to see on Zalag at on the score sheet.

1852
01:34:53,280 --> 01:34:58,280
It was Mandragora who hoofed the ball upfield from very deep into his own half,

1853
01:34:58,280 --> 01:35:06,280
and in Zalag did very well to use his strength and the pace of the ball to round Vietesca before chipping the ball over Radonovic.

1854
01:35:06,280 --> 01:35:10,280
Look kind of emotional about his first goal for the club.

1855
01:35:10,280 --> 01:35:17,280
I think in Zalag as a player that has had many a high and many a low, I think Fiorentina's strikers for some reason do tend to struggle,

1856
01:35:17,280 --> 01:35:28,280
but good to see him get off the mark because maybe opening seven matches without a goal as a player that scored so many with a struggling Spetsia

1857
01:35:28,280 --> 01:35:32,280
before was starting to get a little bit concerning, but good to see that over there.

1858
01:35:32,280 --> 01:35:37,280
Kalliari are struggling naturally. They are one of the few teams who haven't gotten a win yet.

1859
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:45,280
I believe the other ones that there are Kalliari, there's Odineze and there's Salernitana.

1860
01:35:45,280 --> 01:35:54,280
Three of the top of my head, but they're struggling and Fiorentina on the other hand are flying at the moment.

1861
01:35:54,280 --> 01:36:03,280
They've had a very, very strong start to the season. They have three wins and two draws in their opening six matches.

1862
01:36:03,280 --> 01:36:11,280
They do have one loss that came against Inter. Very identical start to Juventus over here who also have three victories,

1863
01:36:11,280 --> 01:36:20,280
two draws and a loss as you mentioned earlier. But their only defeat being against Inter is very much like Milan.

1864
01:36:20,280 --> 01:36:30,280
I do think that the Fiorentina team is being underrated this season and how good is Nico Gonzalez and what a start he's had.

1865
01:36:30,280 --> 01:36:32,280
Four goals in six games for him.

1866
01:36:32,280 --> 01:36:42,280
Gonzalez is fantastic and his bounce back has been remarkable as last season at this time. He was nowhere to be seen and Italiano was criticising his mental states.

1867
01:36:42,280 --> 01:36:53,280
He's mentally unavailable Gonzalez. So nice to see that whatever he was going through he's put behind him and that he's displaying his phenomenal skill quite frankly.

1868
01:36:53,280 --> 01:37:00,280
Because he's even been sought after from the Premier League as well because he's a fucking good player.

1869
01:37:00,280 --> 01:37:10,280
Let me tell you what Nico 10 is the way to go for his shirt. We've seen him sporting a different number. We've seen him sporting Gonzalez at the back of the shirt.

1870
01:37:10,280 --> 01:37:14,280
Nico 10 is a really, really nice kid and Fiorentina.

1871
01:37:14,280 --> 01:37:17,280
And he took the 10 from Castrovilli, an active player.

1872
01:37:17,280 --> 01:37:19,280
That's fucking strange.

1873
01:37:19,280 --> 01:37:20,280
That's weird.

1874
01:37:20,280 --> 01:37:29,280
But he's also the... That's probably some negotiation. I'll stay but give me Castrovilli's 10. It's a little quick conversation to have with Castrovilli.

1875
01:37:29,280 --> 01:37:33,280
Can you please explain to me what's going on with Jorco 11 by the way?

1876
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:44,280
Ah, Iconi. He was coming and I'm like who on earth is Jorco? Who is bro?

1877
01:37:44,280 --> 01:37:51,280
But Iconi has Jorco on his shirt. I'm sure it's part of his name.

1878
01:37:51,280 --> 01:37:53,280
His name is Jonathan Iconi.

1879
01:37:53,280 --> 01:38:01,280
Oh my god, it's like Jama when we're like Jacob, our soap company. When we were kids, we were in Jama.

1880
01:38:01,280 --> 01:38:03,280
We're like next door.

1881
01:38:03,280 --> 01:38:08,280
Our neighbour's place is Doorwell because it's Doreen and William.

1882
01:38:08,280 --> 01:38:10,280
And if you're listening...

1883
01:38:13,280 --> 01:38:16,280
Hello? And that's your dog in the background.

1884
01:38:16,280 --> 01:38:23,280
One of their 19 dogs in the past 26 years of my life.

1885
01:38:23,280 --> 01:38:30,280
Snowy, snoopy, all of them. I remember them all.

1886
01:38:30,280 --> 01:38:35,280
It must be said that Calliari are super static.

1887
01:38:35,280 --> 01:38:41,280
And even their players who are meant to be dynamic don't quite show that show more.

1888
01:38:41,280 --> 01:38:48,280
It was looking a bit leggy. Zappa isn't quite that burst of pace that you can hit on the counter.

1889
01:38:48,280 --> 01:38:54,280
So the thing is if Lovumbo isn't playing and Lovumbo did pick up an injury by the way, that's why he did not feature.

1890
01:38:54,280 --> 01:39:01,280
You can attack this Calliari side and you don't have to worry too much about them getting behind you if Lovumbo is not there.

1891
01:39:01,280 --> 01:39:05,280
If Lovumbo is there, be very, very scared because they will counter you hard.

1892
01:39:05,280 --> 01:39:12,280
But that's what you lack when you have Petania, Pranth, Pavoletti coming off the bench, when you have a 4-4-2 formation

1893
01:39:12,280 --> 01:39:18,280
with Zappa and none of these outwired hard workers but not particularly good at bursting.

1894
01:39:18,280 --> 01:39:19,280
You know what I mean?

1895
01:39:19,280 --> 01:39:21,280
No, I think long stretches aren't there.

1896
01:39:21,280 --> 01:39:29,280
The way you beat an offensive team, so the way you draw to an offensive team is sitting back playing low block.

1897
01:39:29,280 --> 01:39:33,280
That's how you beat Fiorentina. Sorry, that's how you draw to Fiorentina.

1898
01:39:33,280 --> 01:39:40,280
That's how you draw against Milan. You pile 11 men behind the ball very, very, very deep into your own half and you make their life a living hell.

1899
01:39:40,280 --> 01:39:48,280
The way you beat them is by playing defensively but countering with a significant burst of pace.

1900
01:39:48,280 --> 01:39:50,280
After playing out of the press.

1901
01:39:50,280 --> 01:39:51,280
Exactly.

1902
01:39:51,280 --> 01:39:58,280
Ball to Midfielder. Midfielder first time ball over the top to a winger type of thing.

1903
01:39:58,280 --> 01:40:03,280
But what they don't have here is the resources to do something like that.

1904
01:40:03,280 --> 01:40:07,280
You have someone like Nandes that could give Petania a good ball, Shumorodov a good ball.

1905
01:40:07,280 --> 01:40:15,280
But when you're up against the Pacey Martinez, Quarta and Melenkovic and Parisi and Coyote and the rest of these guys, it's a mismatch.

1906
01:40:15,280 --> 01:40:19,280
At the moment, Kalyari are the worst team in the league.

1907
01:40:19,280 --> 01:40:23,280
I don't think they're a particularly creative team.

1908
01:40:23,280 --> 01:40:29,280
They're playing a 4-4-2, showing around the Aries' Prem colours a little bit over there.

1909
01:40:29,280 --> 01:40:30,280
Very, very Premier League.

1910
01:40:30,280 --> 01:40:31,280
Brexit football.

1911
01:40:31,280 --> 01:40:33,280
Brexit football.

1912
01:40:33,280 --> 01:40:38,280
Two big boys up front, you know what I mean.

1913
01:40:38,280 --> 01:40:42,280
They leave a lot to be desired. They have a lot of key pieces out.

1914
01:40:42,280 --> 01:40:49,280
I really, really hope we see Kalyari pick things up because the way things are going, it's not looking too good for them.

1915
01:40:49,280 --> 01:40:58,280
Where they're standing in the tables, so Fiorentina are in 5th on 14 points while Kalyari dead last on 2 points.

1916
01:40:58,280 --> 01:41:01,280
Bro said where they're standing in the tables.

1917
01:41:01,280 --> 01:41:03,280
Bro, I just spit bars.

1918
01:41:03,280 --> 01:41:06,280
Sa Swolo nil Monza won.

1919
01:41:06,280 --> 01:41:13,280
This was expected to be a favourable matchup for Sa Swolo, particularly after this membering inter.

1920
01:41:13,280 --> 01:41:24,280
But the final score had a surprise in store as Monza actually got an away victory thanks to a goal by none other than Lorenzo Colombo.

1921
01:41:24,280 --> 01:41:29,280
His first goal for Monza and his third goal in a row in Seiya.

1922
01:41:29,280 --> 01:41:33,280
Is it last season he was at Lecce and he did score a few?

1923
01:41:33,280 --> 01:41:35,280
The season before he was at Spal, never mind.

1924
01:41:35,280 --> 01:41:38,280
His second season in a row in Seiya.

1925
01:41:38,280 --> 01:41:41,280
He scored a mental war last season against Naal.

1926
01:41:41,280 --> 01:41:43,280
Oh my God, after missing a penalty.

1927
01:41:43,280 --> 01:41:44,280
Crazy.

1928
01:41:44,280 --> 01:41:50,280
As for the lineups, Sa Swolo had their 4-2-3-1 formation with Andrea Concili in goal,

1929
01:41:50,280 --> 01:41:58,280
Tolian on the right, Vignan on the left, Erlich and Rouen at the back with Boloca and Henrique in the holding midfield positions,

1930
01:41:58,280 --> 01:42:05,280
with Berardi out on the right wing, Laurenta out on the left wing, Thordesvet in the pocket and Pinamonti up front.

1931
01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:11,280
It was a 3-4-3 formation with Digre Goryeo on goal, Carbone, Marri and Calderola at the back.

1932
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:14,280
I was going to say the three Cs, but there are only two.

1933
01:42:14,280 --> 01:42:21,280
Giorgio's Chiricopoulos is out on the left, Patrick Truia out on the right, Galliardini and Pesina forming a midfield duo,

1934
01:42:21,280 --> 01:42:29,280
while Danimo Tau was out on the left wing, Colpani was out on the right wing, Lorenzo Colombo was up front as the lone striker.

1935
01:42:29,280 --> 01:42:35,280
As the match began, Sasuolo, fresh from their impressive victories over Juve and interlocked Poiz to continue their winning streak.

1936
01:42:35,280 --> 01:42:41,280
Early in the game, Armand Laurenta had a golden opportunity to put Sasuolo ahead, but his effort was saved following a brilliant run.

1937
01:42:41,280 --> 01:42:47,280
This would prove to be a theme this game, as Laurenta did miss a couple of sitters, not only him to be honest.

1938
01:42:47,280 --> 01:42:52,280
Domenico Berardi, the legend, played a crucial role, of course he did.

1939
01:42:52,280 --> 01:42:57,280
He forced a smart double save from Michela Digre Goryeo early on in the first half.

1940
01:42:57,280 --> 01:42:59,280
Perhaps not early on, but in the first half.

1941
01:42:59,280 --> 01:43:07,280
Monza's Patrick Truia had a couple of opportunities to break the deadlock, but he failed to convert, leading to a goalless first half.

1942
01:43:07,280 --> 01:43:14,280
After the break, the momentum shifted as Sasuolo, the Giorgio's Chiricopoulos, fired over from a promising position.

1943
01:43:14,280 --> 01:43:22,280
Now it makes sense, Bro, why Anthony Locassio, or excuse the pronunciation of his name, listens to us. He's Greek. There we go.

1944
01:43:22,280 --> 01:43:30,280
Bro is Greek, Australian and Italian. He'll find a few players to follow, I think. Shout out to him, by the way, what a guy.

1945
01:43:30,280 --> 01:43:33,280
He must die, Bro. He's gonna die when...

1946
01:43:33,280 --> 01:43:40,280
Must die, Bro! He must die! Death to him! Fuck you!

1947
01:43:40,280 --> 01:43:49,280
No, what I was meant to say is he must have died at your pronunciation of that Greek write-backs name.

1948
01:43:49,280 --> 01:43:55,280
Hatsi di Acos, I think. Thank you, because I'm tight.

1949
01:43:55,280 --> 01:44:05,280
Yeah, so Lorenzo Colombo, wearing the Monza colours on loan from Milan, tested Sasuolo's Andrea Constioli with a well-placed shot.

1950
01:44:05,280 --> 01:44:11,280
However, Sasuolo faced a setback when their own number nine, Andrea Pinamonte, had to leave the field due to injury.

1951
01:44:11,280 --> 01:44:14,280
Monza were growing into the game at this point and found the breakthrough they were looking for.

1952
01:44:14,280 --> 01:44:20,280
Lorenzo Colombo took matters into his own hands when he won a 50-50 on a long ball out wide.

1953
01:44:20,280 --> 01:44:26,280
He drove, he cut inside and he calmly slotted the ball into the net opening, his scoring account for the season.

1954
01:44:26,280 --> 01:44:32,280
I didn't know he had that in his locker. Running down the wing, cutting inside, showing good technique.

1955
01:44:32,280 --> 01:44:37,280
Colombo's an exciting player. He had a goal every 30 minutes for Milan's Primavera.

1956
01:44:37,280 --> 01:44:46,280
The stats don't always mean you're going to be a great player. Patrick Petrone was the leading goal scorer for Milan's Primavera for quite a while.

1957
01:44:46,280 --> 01:44:49,280
Yeah, there's a 15-year-old right now scoring like seven goals again.

1958
01:44:49,280 --> 01:44:52,280
Come on, man. Wanted by City, wanted by the best team.

1959
01:44:52,280 --> 01:44:55,280
They can all fuck off. They can all fuck off.

1960
01:44:55,280 --> 01:45:01,280
We haven't had a youth system striker come through the ranks and be the best in Italy in way too long.

1961
01:45:01,280 --> 01:45:03,280
The last one was fucking what?

1962
01:45:03,280 --> 01:45:04,280
Davideh Talabria.

1963
01:45:04,280 --> 01:45:07,280
He's not a striker. He's the best in Italy.

1964
01:45:07,280 --> 01:45:09,280
But a path, what kind of thing.

1965
01:45:09,280 --> 01:45:13,280
I know they didn't come up through the ranks. From a young age, 17 years old, 18 years old, like that.

1966
01:45:13,280 --> 01:45:15,280
Come on, you're the one, bro. Please do it.

1967
01:45:15,280 --> 01:45:20,280
We'll see. It's always complicated with you. This guy's 15 and scoring with the Primavera. It's crazy.

1968
01:45:20,280 --> 01:45:24,280
I mean, in two years, I'll be seeing him in the first team for sure. Just a little bit.

1969
01:45:24,280 --> 01:45:31,280
Yes, Monsa had opportunities to extend their lead but struggled to capitalise, substitute Sanweale, Birendelli, Mr. Trons,

1970
01:45:31,280 --> 01:45:37,280
to double the advantage while La Oriente also missed another golden opportunity to equalise.

1971
01:45:37,280 --> 01:45:42,280
This time, Colombo himself was denied a brace by the offside flag late into the game.

1972
01:45:42,280 --> 01:45:48,280
So this basically was such a small demonstrating how truly wasteful they can be.

1973
01:45:48,280 --> 01:45:55,280
And Monsa demonstrating how if you hang in there and things don't go quite well for your opponent,

1974
01:45:55,280 --> 01:46:00,280
they will get frustrated. You will be able to get an opportunity. You will get your opportunity eventually.

1975
01:46:00,280 --> 01:46:03,280
And you can win games if you are tight enough.

1976
01:46:03,280 --> 01:46:10,280
Yeah, and they showed classic Monsa they're so good at attacking down those flanks.

1977
01:46:10,280 --> 01:46:14,280
Naturally, when you play a 3-4-3 formation, you've got so many wide players,

1978
01:46:14,280 --> 01:46:18,280
Churi and Colpani on one side, Kiria Coppolis and Dani Mota on the other,

1979
01:46:18,280 --> 01:46:22,280
who saw a lot of attacks coming down the left-hand side over here through Dani Mota,

1980
01:46:22,280 --> 01:46:26,280
very, very involved in the game, maybe not too clean up front,

1981
01:46:26,280 --> 01:46:30,280
but does a lot of damage alongside Kiria Coppolis out on that left-hand side.

1982
01:46:30,280 --> 01:46:35,280
What a shame it is to see Pinamonti come off injured. He's had such a good spell of form.

1983
01:46:35,280 --> 01:46:37,280
Fuck that, man. That's amazing.

1984
01:46:37,280 --> 01:46:42,280
I'm not quite sure about his condition or how bad the situation is, the injury,

1985
01:46:42,280 --> 01:46:47,280
but let's hope that he has a speed recovery because he has started the season quite well.

1986
01:46:47,280 --> 01:46:57,280
This game was also a display of how good Consigli and Di Gregorio can be, particularly Di Gregorio.

1987
01:46:57,280 --> 01:47:02,280
Of course, Consigli, we do know that he's passed his prime, but Di Gregorio had a phenomenal game,

1988
01:47:02,280 --> 01:47:07,280
and he often does, for Monsa, and I'm sure that he has a bright future.

1989
01:47:07,280 --> 01:47:12,280
Since Vicario has left the league, I think that the underrated goalkeepers that should be grabbed

1990
01:47:12,280 --> 01:47:19,280
at the moment are Di Gregorio and possibly Montepo, from the ones who are ready.

1991
01:47:19,280 --> 01:47:20,280
And Falcoone.

1992
01:47:20,280 --> 01:47:21,280
Falcoone, yes, as well.

1993
01:47:21,280 --> 01:47:22,280
Those three, I would say.

1994
01:47:22,280 --> 01:47:25,280
Those three, and then you have slightly younger, like Turati.

1995
01:47:25,280 --> 01:47:28,280
Turati is looking very good, yes.

1996
01:47:28,280 --> 01:47:32,280
For the big step yet. But yeah, Falcoone and Di Gregorio, actually, in particular, bro, are super.

1997
01:47:32,280 --> 01:47:34,280
I would put Montepo slightly.

1998
01:47:34,280 --> 01:47:39,280
Even Montepo. At all Montepo, this hand would most saves in this area, which is probably because he plays for Verona,

1999
01:47:39,280 --> 01:47:43,280
so he's got a lot of shots, but hey man, you need someone to stop them.

2000
01:47:43,280 --> 01:47:44,280
Exactly, yes.

2001
01:47:44,280 --> 01:47:50,280
So Osasvolo are 11th with 9 points, while Monsa are 12th with 9 points also.

2002
01:47:50,280 --> 01:47:55,280
The next game we're going to be covering was the nil-nil draw between Torino and Verona.

2003
01:47:55,280 --> 01:48:02,280
Torino were coming off a 2-nil loss away to Lazio as Verona were coming off a 1-nil home loss to Atalanta.

2004
01:48:02,280 --> 01:48:07,280
Torino have lost just one of their last 14 matches against Helas Verona and Seria,

2005
01:48:07,280 --> 01:48:11,280
so they really do have their number discounting this game, naturally.

2006
01:48:11,280 --> 01:48:17,280
Torino's injuries were Buon Giorno, Gigi, well rather Buon Giorno and Gigi,

2007
01:48:17,280 --> 01:48:21,280
while Verona's injuries were Braf, Kabal, Doig, Roustic and Imbula.

2008
01:48:21,280 --> 01:48:26,280
When it comes to the starting lineups, it was a 3-4-1 formation for Torino,

2009
01:48:26,280 --> 01:48:32,280
with Vanya and Gold on the back line of Ricardo Rodriguez, Schoers and Sazanov.

2010
01:48:32,280 --> 01:48:37,280
Lazaro on the left, Sopi out on the right with Ricci and Illich in the midfield,

2011
01:48:37,280 --> 01:48:41,280
with Radonic on the left, Sek on the right and Duvan Zapata up front.

2012
01:48:41,280 --> 01:48:48,280
Also a 3-4-2-1 formation for Verona with Montepo and Gold on the back line of Manjani, Davidovic and Amione,

2013
01:48:48,280 --> 01:48:52,280
Terraciano on the right, Lazovic on the left, Duda and Folloruncio on the middle,

2014
01:48:52,280 --> 01:48:57,280
Dutting-Gonj and Suslov playing behind Cruz.

2015
01:48:59,280 --> 01:49:01,280
We should go on one.

2016
01:49:01,280 --> 01:49:04,280
Our mother is on one right now.

2017
01:49:13,280 --> 01:49:15,280
That was great, yes.

2018
01:49:15,280 --> 01:49:21,280
Youngster brought in from Argentina, making his first appearance further on and his first appearance in Serie A.

2019
01:49:22,280 --> 01:49:26,280
Torino actually, the team that looked more positive in the first half,

2020
01:49:26,280 --> 01:49:30,280
getting close through Sek and Lazaro, but Montepo was on top of it,

2021
01:49:30,280 --> 01:49:33,280
and he complimented him and rightly so, he had a great match over here.

2022
01:49:33,280 --> 01:49:36,280
Verona threatened in the 68th minute as a Falcone,

2023
01:49:36,280 --> 01:49:39,280
hit the crossbar, however it was meant to go to Juric.

2024
01:49:39,280 --> 01:49:45,280
Juric hit a bicycle kick from close distance in the 75th minute, but it went straight into Vanya.

2025
01:49:45,280 --> 01:49:49,280
Not much else happened in this game, it was a tight NKG FA,

2026
01:49:49,280 --> 01:49:56,280
however Torino are showcasing that they do struggle to secure wins despite their positive performances.

2027
01:49:56,280 --> 01:49:58,280
Do you agree with that?

2028
01:49:58,280 --> 01:50:02,280
Yes, I totally agree with you and it's also worth noting that Verona can really shut up shop well.

2029
01:50:02,280 --> 01:50:05,280
These are my two teams and I shut up shop very well.

2030
01:50:06,280 --> 01:50:07,280
Yeah, that's it.

2031
01:50:07,280 --> 01:50:11,280
Yeah, a lot of defensive battles and aggressive play over here.

2032
01:50:11,280 --> 01:50:15,280
You saw both teams trying to utilize their physicality and their strength,

2033
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:18,280
they are two very physical and strong teams,

2034
01:50:18,280 --> 01:50:23,280
and naturally when two very physical teams collide, well, it gets physical.

2035
01:50:23,280 --> 01:50:30,280
An interesting stat from this game is that both strikers, which are Cruz and Duvanz Apaata,

2036
01:50:30,280 --> 01:50:32,280
didn't get a single shot away.

2037
01:50:32,280 --> 01:50:35,280
So that pretty much tells you how this game went down, brother.

2038
01:50:35,280 --> 01:50:42,280
Yep, the big men up front were more tightly and the supply was cut quite frankly.

2039
01:50:42,280 --> 01:50:48,280
Yep, I think both teams will take a point and run over here after both not having the best performances,

2040
01:50:48,280 --> 01:50:52,280
however they did fight to the nail in order to secure the point.

2041
01:50:52,280 --> 01:50:59,280
Looking forward to the two rinder be this weekend where Torino will take on Juventus.

2042
01:50:59,280 --> 01:51:03,280
Torino find themselves in 10th place on 9 points,

2043
01:51:03,280 --> 01:51:07,280
while Verona find themselves in 15th place on 8 points.

2044
01:51:07,280 --> 01:51:11,280
I'm also going to be doing the next game that we are going to be covering,

2045
01:51:11,280 --> 01:51:13,280
which is Udinese 2, Genoa 2.

2046
01:51:13,280 --> 01:51:16,280
Udinese were coming off a 4-1 loss against Napoli,

2047
01:51:16,280 --> 01:51:20,280
whereas Genoa were coming off a 4-1 victory over Roma.

2048
01:51:20,280 --> 01:51:25,280
Udinese are unbeaten in their last 13 matches against Genoa in Serie A,

2049
01:51:25,280 --> 01:51:30,280
winning 6 and drawing 7, however they have now drawn each of their last 4 matches.

2050
01:51:30,280 --> 01:51:34,280
The Gryffone were coming off a shock 4-1 win over Roma on Thursday evening,

2051
01:51:34,280 --> 01:51:39,280
but Badalj, Sturtman and Sabelli did not make the trip due to injury,

2052
01:51:39,280 --> 01:51:42,280
whilst Aaron Martin returned from suspension.

2053
01:51:42,280 --> 01:51:46,280
Udinese were still without a victory and the absentee list included

2054
01:51:46,280 --> 01:51:53,280
Ezebue, Bosse, Dellefeu, Brenner, Cabacele and Semedo,

2055
01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:55,280
and a couple of other Pokémon too.

2056
01:51:55,280 --> 01:52:00,280
It was a 3-5-2 formation for Udinese's Investigin goal,

2057
01:52:00,280 --> 01:52:03,280
Christensen, Bujol and Perez at the back, with Camara on the left,

2058
01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:07,280
Ebosello on the right and Amitviltri of Sandilov, Rich Wallis and Pereira,

2059
01:52:07,280 --> 01:52:10,280
Success and Luka formed the front too.

2060
01:52:10,280 --> 01:52:15,280
It was a 3-5-2 formation also for the visitors, with Martinez in goal

2061
01:52:15,280 --> 01:52:18,280
and a backline of Dragosin, Bani and Vasquez,

2062
01:52:18,280 --> 01:52:21,280
De Wintour on the right, Haps on the left and Amitviltri of Torsby,

2063
01:52:21,280 --> 01:52:27,280
Frendrup and Malinovsky, Gudmetsen and Retegui started alongside each other up front.

2064
01:52:27,280 --> 01:52:32,280
In the 14th minute Gudmetsen opened the scoring and he smashed the ball to the top corner

2065
01:52:32,280 --> 01:52:34,280
from the edge of the area.

2066
01:52:34,280 --> 01:52:39,280
Frendrup provided the pass after collecting the ball from a mid-placed Sylvesterie pass.

2067
01:52:39,280 --> 01:52:43,280
In the 23rd, Luka made it 1-1, the Italian Giants smashed a half volley

2068
01:52:43,280 --> 01:52:49,280
into the back of the net from point blank range after Haps failed to deal with a cross.

2069
01:52:49,280 --> 01:52:53,280
In the 28th minute Gudmetsen slotted into the bottom corner,

2070
01:52:53,280 --> 01:52:57,280
but Haps was offside throughout the build-up, leaving the score at 1-1.

2071
01:52:57,280 --> 01:53:03,280
Just before the half-time we said in the 41st minute Gudmetsen made it 2-1 for the away side.

2072
01:53:03,280 --> 01:53:09,280
Retegui got the assist, it was a 2v3 situation, Retegui played the ball to Gudmetsen,

2073
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:13,280
who cut inside, passed the defender and slotted the ball into the near corner

2074
01:53:13,280 --> 01:53:19,280
after a deflection of Christensen's stroke of luck, but good combination from the two strikers.

2075
01:53:19,280 --> 01:53:26,280
In the 91st minute and then after a second half of Genoa hanging on for this victory,

2076
01:53:26,280 --> 01:53:31,280
their substitute Mattouro put the ball into the back of his own net.

2077
01:53:31,280 --> 01:53:36,280
A corner was whipped in by Samardzic and Sylvesterie failed to claim the ball.

2078
01:53:36,280 --> 01:53:40,280
There was an open net and the young Eureguayan,

2079
01:53:40,280 --> 01:53:45,280
Moutaro headed the ball into his own net minutes after coming on.

2080
01:53:45,280 --> 01:53:50,280
Very unfortunate for the youngster who obviously got an opportunity over here

2081
01:53:50,280 --> 01:53:55,280
and it just didn't go his way, it happens and we hope he bounces back.

2082
01:53:55,280 --> 01:53:59,280
A good game of football over here, 2-2 was the final result.

2083
01:53:59,280 --> 01:54:04,280
Obviously Gudmetsen getting both goals there for Genoa, he now has three goals this season,

2084
01:54:04,280 --> 01:54:07,280
18 successful dribbles, nobody has more.

2085
01:54:07,280 --> 01:54:11,280
He's the first player from Iceland to score two goals in a single Serie A match

2086
01:54:11,280 --> 01:54:18,280
and he seems to be getting well with his teammates and especially his manager Alberto Gelardino

2087
01:54:18,280 --> 01:54:22,280
who he said he looks up to a lot and they share a lot of well.

2088
01:54:22,280 --> 01:54:27,280
Gelardino shares a lot of advice to Gudmetsen who listens like a good student.

2089
01:54:27,280 --> 01:54:31,280
He also, Gudmetsen comes from four generations of footballers,

2090
01:54:31,280 --> 01:54:37,280
both from his mother's side and his father's side which is cool to see that he's managed to keep that up.

2091
01:54:37,280 --> 01:54:43,280
Odenezs still haven't gotten a victory this season and they struggled to get a point.

2092
01:54:43,280 --> 01:54:47,280
They got a point through a last minute Genoa own goal.

2093
01:54:47,280 --> 01:54:52,280
Needless to say, Odenezs are struggling, what do you make of them so far?

2094
01:54:52,280 --> 01:54:56,280
I think they're the type of team that has to grow into the season.

2095
01:54:56,280 --> 01:54:59,280
Things aren't really going their way at the moment.

2096
01:54:59,280 --> 01:55:01,280
They will have growing pains.

2097
01:55:01,280 --> 01:55:05,280
Lukka is a young striker, he just scored his first goal right now.

2098
01:55:05,280 --> 01:55:09,280
This game, Pereira has only just come in after attempting to leave

2099
01:55:09,280 --> 01:55:13,280
so some odds it was pretty much their only creative outlet up until that point

2100
01:55:13,280 --> 01:55:17,280
but now they have a few members who can actually make a difference together

2101
01:55:17,280 --> 01:55:20,280
and I think that they can improve.

2102
01:55:20,280 --> 01:55:25,280
I think time will be their best friend in the season, correctly said.

2103
01:55:25,280 --> 01:55:32,280
Naturally, we do need to move on from this game, guys, because we spent a lot of time actually discussing the previous match.

2104
01:55:32,280 --> 01:55:38,280
Odenezs do find themselves in 17th place just out of the relegation zone on four points.

2105
01:55:38,280 --> 01:55:43,280
Why is Genoa find themselves in 14th on eight points?

2106
01:55:43,280 --> 01:55:46,280
The next game, the final game, that we're actually not going to be discussing

2107
01:55:46,280 --> 01:55:50,280
because we're going to hand over to our friend Lukka from Bologna.

2108
01:55:50,280 --> 01:55:54,280
Bologna beat Ampoli 3-0 and Rossellini scored a fantastic hat-check over here.

2109
01:55:54,280 --> 01:55:58,280
Before we hand over to Lukka, brother, I just want to ask you,

2110
01:55:58,280 --> 01:56:02,280
does Rossellini deserve a spot in the national team?

2111
01:56:02,280 --> 01:56:05,280
Absolutely, and I don't think it's a debate.

2112
01:56:05,280 --> 01:56:10,280
They've got their left-hand side sorted with Chiesa

2113
01:56:10,280 --> 01:56:15,280
and their right-hand side is competition between Berardi and Rossellini.

2114
01:56:15,280 --> 01:56:19,280
It doesn't necessarily have to start, but you should totally be there.

2115
01:56:19,280 --> 01:56:22,280
Bologna lined up their usual 4-2-3-1 formation with Skorupski and goal.

2116
01:56:22,280 --> 01:56:26,280
Karotza as the right-back, Christensen as the left-back, Bokehma and Kala Fiori at the back.

2117
01:56:26,280 --> 01:56:31,280
Moron, Froyler were in the middle with Rossellini, Ferguson and Doyon, Zergzi playing up front.

2118
01:56:31,280 --> 01:56:34,280
For Ampoli, it was their 4-3-1-2 formation with Berisha and goal.

2119
01:56:34,280 --> 01:56:39,280
Kakak, Ciel, Luperto and Valukevic, along with Ebuahi at the back.

2120
01:56:39,280 --> 01:56:42,280
Mali, Rannokki and Maron were in the middle with Baldanzi as the trequatista.

2121
01:56:42,280 --> 01:56:44,280
Kambi again, Taputo were up front.

2122
01:56:44,280 --> 01:56:47,280
Now over to Lukka, guys. Thank you for listening because we're not going to see you again.

2123
01:56:47,280 --> 01:56:50,280
We love you and see you next week.

2124
01:56:50,280 --> 01:56:58,280
Hey guys, what's up? As you imagine, I'm going to send you a quick voice note about Bologna Football Club

2125
01:56:58,280 --> 01:57:02,280
because I think we need to highlight what we're doing in this season.

2126
01:57:02,280 --> 01:57:10,280
We started with a loss against AC Milan, that is probably one of the favourites to win the Serie A this year.

2127
01:57:10,280 --> 01:57:19,280
Only lost one game against Inter and that's the only game we lost throughout all these first games.

2128
01:57:19,280 --> 01:57:29,280
The really important thing is that every game we played we were not dominating, but the majority, yes,

2129
01:57:29,280 --> 01:57:31,280
but we had the control of the games.

2130
01:57:31,280 --> 01:57:38,280
We already played against Milan, we already played against Naples and Juventus and we are eighth in the tables.

2131
01:57:38,280 --> 01:57:43,280
The last four games we didn't even concede a goal.

2132
01:57:43,280 --> 01:57:49,280
I think if you watch how Bologna is playing, it's really a very...

2133
01:57:52,280 --> 01:58:01,280
Yes, I was saying we are a very good team and we need to consider that unfortunately the legacy in the A's told us four points

2134
01:58:01,280 --> 01:58:09,280
and I'm not talking about random things, I'm talking about clear facts because against Juventus everybody said

2135
01:58:09,280 --> 01:58:15,280
that when Ndoya went down that was a clear penalty, we were one nil up.

2136
01:58:15,280 --> 01:58:24,280
Against Juve we would have gone 2-0 probably and with a red card for them and so the game would have been ours.

2137
01:58:24,280 --> 01:58:36,280
And then against Monza last game they stole another goal from Ferguzon with an assist of Zirgze

2138
01:58:36,280 --> 01:58:39,280
that was not comprehensible what they did.

2139
01:58:39,280 --> 01:58:44,280
I have no idea why they disallowed the goals and there were two goals done.

2140
01:58:44,280 --> 01:58:50,280
We would have been in fourth place with Naples by now.

2141
01:58:52,280 --> 01:58:55,280
Thiago Mota is expressing the real football.

2142
01:58:55,280 --> 01:59:05,280
In every game we played we showed good football, never holding back, never only defensive

2143
01:59:05,280 --> 01:59:18,280
and I really think Bologna is playing great football and I know you guys always taking consideration every small team.

2144
01:59:18,280 --> 01:59:30,280
Unfortunately big TV shows never talk about Bologna and so here is to share with you that I know that taking consideration every club in the CDA.

2145
01:59:30,280 --> 01:59:35,280
Have a good one guys!
