1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,000
He made a useful run and teed it up for a simply sensational finish.

2
00:00:09,000 --> 00:00:14,000
Welcome back to the national side, Jack Bonaventura.

3
00:00:19,000 --> 00:00:22,000
Hello and welcome back to our Spotlight.

4
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,000
This is episode 96 and we are hosts Matt and Jake.

5
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:29,000
It's been the international break for around a week now.

6
00:00:29,000 --> 00:00:32,000
So naturally we have nothing to talk to you guys about.

7
00:00:32,000 --> 00:00:35,000
So here we are with another interactive quiz.

8
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:37,000
Exactly, it is October the 19th.

9
00:00:37,000 --> 00:00:41,000
So if you're listening to this in the future, things would have changed by then.

10
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:45,000
But it's interesting to see how things stand at the moment.

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:46,000
Yes, correct.

12
00:00:46,000 --> 00:00:52,000
Our goal of the week from our intro was Jack Bonaventura's first goal for Italy

13
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:55,000
against our beloved country of Malta.

14
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:58,000
It was a spectacular goal and a great gun to lie.

15
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:00,000
It did put a smile on my face.

16
00:01:00,000 --> 00:01:03,000
It's not often that a goal against Malta puts a smile on my face.

17
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:10,000
It normally sends me tumbling down a long dark road of depression.

18
00:01:10,000 --> 00:01:14,000
And we're very used to it.

19
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
So you can imagine like if we were from a larger nation, things would be even worse.

20
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:23,000
Zilchenko had some nice things to say about Malta in an interview

21
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:25,000
where the interviewer kept calling him Zilchenko.

22
00:01:25,000 --> 00:01:29,000
Over and over again, so like he made a mistake once.

23
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:33,000
That's classic us say sometimes with our journalism and all of that.

24
00:01:33,000 --> 00:01:39,000
But some really nice words by Zilchenko had a lot of praise for the country of Malta,

25
00:01:39,000 --> 00:01:41,000
the hospitality of the...

26
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:42,000
Hospitality.

27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:45,000
Or the hospitality of the Maltese.

28
00:01:45,000 --> 00:01:49,000
And he even said that he admires the effort that we put in.

29
00:01:49,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Yeah, it's not easy to balance a nine to five and a professional football.

30
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:56,000
That's true. You know what I'm fed up of though, bro?

31
00:01:56,000 --> 00:02:02,000
All this fucking news about all of these young Italian talented players

32
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,000
all being totally addicted to gambling.

33
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:10,000
So when this whole thing came out that they were addicted to gambling,

34
00:02:10,000 --> 00:02:14,000
I thought as you mentioned earlier on that it was the equivalent of pleading insanity

35
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:16,000
when committing a murder.

36
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:18,000
Correct. Well, you've got your back against the wall.

37
00:02:18,000 --> 00:02:23,000
You've only worked to reduce your sentence, which is complying and literally pleading insanity.

38
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:28,000
But news has come out now that Fajorli is actually three million euros in debt

39
00:02:28,000 --> 00:02:33,000
from many different betting platforms and people have threatened to break his legs

40
00:02:33,000 --> 00:02:35,000
and he's had many a meltdown.

41
00:02:35,000 --> 00:02:39,000
His mother has suggested therapy many times for him.

42
00:02:39,000 --> 00:02:44,000
And part of his one year ban will be, I believe it's a seven month ban, five months of therapy.

43
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:49,000
And there's also a fine of like 12,500 euros, which I'm sure doesn't help his coin situation.

44
00:02:49,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Yeah, that's it's so daft.

45
00:02:51,000 --> 00:02:54,000
It's like finding him seriously.

46
00:02:54,000 --> 00:02:58,000
I think a ban away from the game is enough.

47
00:02:58,000 --> 00:03:01,000
I think that he's getting therapy, which is a good thing.

48
00:03:01,000 --> 00:03:04,000
Why the fuck are you putting a fine?

49
00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:06,000
Yeah, it's three million in debt.

50
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
No, it's terrible. But you have to make an example of when rules are rules.

51
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:12,000
Maybe community service dog.

52
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,000
He's out there hustling in the streets like your average worker.

53
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
That would be the way to do it.

54
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:19,000
True.

55
00:03:19,000 --> 00:03:22,000
Christ, that a fucking huge fine like they gave him.

56
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:26,000
It has also come out that Tanaali did bet on Milan while he was actually there,

57
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:30,000
despite betting on games that he didn't actually feature in.

58
00:03:30,000 --> 00:03:33,000
So he would bet on, for example, Milan or draw, for example,

59
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,000
when he wouldn't even be on the bench for example.

60
00:03:35,000 --> 00:03:39,000
And now, apparently, Zanuolo is next to be investigated.

61
00:03:39,000 --> 00:03:46,000
We'll see where this goes. Many names have been rumored that Corona journalist has been leaking a bunch of player names.

62
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:53,000
He mentioned Gatti, Zalewski, so many, so many players.

63
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:57,000
Yes, and that brings us to question number one of our quiz.

64
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:00,000
So get ready guys, because we're about to start.

65
00:04:00,000 --> 00:04:04,000
Understand that the questions are going to get harder as we progress.

66
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:07,000
But this is question number one.

67
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:12,000
Ventus Youngster, Nikola Falgioli, has been caught betting on illegal platforms.

68
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:19,000
In Falgioli's statement, he claimed that he borrowed 40,000 euros in cash on two separate occasions from two teammates.

69
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Who were these teammates?

70
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:30,000
I'm going to count down from five and when I get to zero, I think you know what I want you to do.

71
00:04:30,000 --> 00:04:48,000
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.

72
00:04:48,000 --> 00:04:52,000
The answer is Radu Dragosin and Federico Gatti.

73
00:04:52,000 --> 00:05:00,000
Yes, Dragosin, who currently plays at Genoa, was a youngster at Juventus at the same time as Fajoli.

74
00:05:00,000 --> 00:05:08,000
And apparently Fajoli told these guys that he needed money to buy a watch claiming that his mother was responsible for his assets so he didn't have access to them.

75
00:05:08,000 --> 00:05:10,000
His debts are the most, two, three million.

76
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:16,000
Supporting the statement that he suffers from a C is gambling addiction, as discussed earlier.

77
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:23,000
Question number two, who currently occupies first place in Seiya?

78
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:42,000
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.

79
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:48,000
Hopefully you had enough time guys to formulate your answer because she does count down quite quickly.

80
00:05:48,000 --> 00:05:53,000
And the answer is Milan, despite losing five-one to Inter.

81
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Milan won each of their seven games while Inter lost to Saswolo and drew to Bologna, leaving Milan in first with 21 points and Inter in second with 19 points.

82
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Correct.

83
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:12,000
On to question number three guys, who is the current top scorer in Seiya?

84
00:06:12,000 --> 00:06:30,000
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.

85
00:06:30,000 --> 00:06:35,000
The answer is Lautaro Martinez, who is currently on 10 goals.

86
00:06:35,000 --> 00:06:41,000
He actually becomes the third Inter player in history to reach double figures in just eight matches.

87
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Second is Victor Ossiman, who's on six goals.

88
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:52,000
And in third, Tide, there's Dominico Berardi, Nico Gonzalez and Romelu Lukaku with five goals.

89
00:06:52,000 --> 00:07:00,000
On to question number four, which three teams are yet to pick up a single victory in Seiya this season?

90
00:07:00,000 --> 00:07:19,000
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.

91
00:07:19,000 --> 00:07:24,000
The three teams are Udinesi, Salernitana and Kalyari.

92
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:36,000
The only manager from these guys to have been sacked is Sousa, who has been replaced by Nzagi, of course, while Sothil and Ranieri are still employed, despite not picking up a victory in their first eight games.

93
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:37,000
Correct.

94
00:07:37,000 --> 00:07:44,000
And actually Kalyari, the only team coming up from Seiya B that haven't recorded a victory at the season.

95
00:07:44,000 --> 00:07:51,000
On to question number five, which team has conceded the fewest goals so far this season?

96
00:07:51,000 --> 00:08:09,000
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.

97
00:08:09,000 --> 00:08:16,000
The answer to this is Inter, who have only conceded five goals so far this season.

98
00:08:16,000 --> 00:08:18,000
Very good.

99
00:08:18,000 --> 00:08:22,000
On the other hand, which team has conceded the most goals?

100
00:08:22,000 --> 00:08:38,000
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.

101
00:08:38,000 --> 00:09:01,000
Once again being mentioned for all the wrong reasons, it's Salernitana who have conceded 17 goals in just eight matches, with Sousa claiming that the team's efforts in front of goal were to blame for their poor results, but in fact, these numbers show that it was their defensive solidarity, which was the problem, right?

102
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,000
Yeah, maybe the awareness of the coach wasn't all too there as well.

103
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:12,000
Question number seven, guys, which team has struck the woodwork the most this season?

104
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:39,000
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.

105
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:47,000
Yes, the answer is newly promoted for Zinana, who have struck the woodwork a total of seven times so far this season.

106
00:09:47,000 --> 00:09:54,000
We thought their output was actually quite good, but to think that had luck been on their side, they would have had seven more goals this season, that would have been mental.

107
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:01,000
On to question number eight, which team has been awarded the most penalties so far this season?

108
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.

109
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:26,000
The correct answer is Napoli, who have been awarded six penalties so far this season, scoring four of them.

110
00:10:26,000 --> 00:10:34,000
Correct, that was the whole reason I'm sure there was that entire Ossiman Saga over there.

111
00:10:34,000 --> 00:10:38,000
Question number nine, we're nearing the end over here, guys.

112
00:10:38,000 --> 00:10:44,000
Who are the three teams tied with the most clean sheets in Serie A this season?

113
00:10:44,000 --> 00:11:03,000
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.

114
00:11:03,000 --> 00:11:11,000
The answer is Juve, Inter and Atalanta. You probably got the first two, maybe you didn't get the third one.

115
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:21,000
Let us know how you do, guys, in this quiz. By the way, we're always curious to hear about your performance, and these quizzes are too easy, too difficult, we'd like to hear where you stand and your knowledge.

116
00:11:21,000 --> 00:11:29,000
Question number ten, which two teams have been shown the most yellow cards in, say, so far this season?

117
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:47,000
Five, four, three, two, one, zero.

118
00:11:47,000 --> 00:12:03,000
The correct answer is Milan and Genoa, who are on 22 yellow cards each in just eight games. That's absolutely crazy. The few are star Inter and Atalanta with 10. The boys in black and blue are not leaving men black and blue.

119
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:11,000
That's true. Milan and Genoa, they probably got all of those yellow cards in their last fixture against each other. That was quite a rough match.

120
00:12:11,000 --> 00:12:12,000
It really was.

121
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:15,000
It probably took them over the line, I'm not even taking the piss.

122
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:23,000
On to our last question, who scored Ampoli's only goal so far this season?

123
00:12:23,000 --> 00:12:41,000
Five, four, three, two, one, nearly that, and zero.

124
00:12:41,000 --> 00:12:54,000
If you answered Tomasso Baldanzi, you answered correctly. Of course, the answer was not Emmanuel Giorgi, even though it should have been, as he missed many an opportunity to score for Ampoli this season.

125
00:12:54,000 --> 00:13:01,000
And Ampoli were another side who saw their coach Paolo Zanetti get sacked for Andrea Zoli.

126
00:13:01,000 --> 00:13:12,000
That is the end of the quiz. 11 questions, so weird. Why didn't we just remove one of them? Because we liked all 11 of them.

127
00:13:12,000 --> 00:13:23,000
We chose 11 good questions. Let us know if you got seven out of 11, if you got eight out of 11, whatever. It's really not that big a deal.

128
00:13:23,000 --> 00:13:30,000
We'll see you next week, guys, for our usual episode. We'll be there for two hours, as usual, of course.

129
00:13:30,000 --> 00:13:35,000
This week was a bit of a quick one. We hope you enjoyed the international break, very more than we did.

130
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:45,000
And we hope you follow us on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter, YouTube. We hope you rate us on Spotify. We hope you download all of our podcasts.

131
00:13:45,000 --> 00:13:48,000
And we hope you sign up to our Patreon as well.

132
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:50,000
Fantastic. That's everything.

133
00:13:50,000 --> 00:14:01,000
And we hope you have a good weekend. Bye-bye.
