1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,640
Now Malinowski, oh yes!

2
00:00:04,640 --> 00:00:12,440
Ruslan Malinowski, his first goal in 25 league matches is a beauty.

3
00:00:16,640 --> 00:00:20,360
Hello hello and welcome back to another episode of Seria R Spotlight.

4
00:00:20,360 --> 00:00:24,360
This is episode 101 and we are hosts Matt and Jake.

5
00:00:24,360 --> 00:00:27,800
Our goal of the week this week was Malinowski's rocket.

6
00:00:27,800 --> 00:00:31,200
The close contender was Kondrieva's rocket.

7
00:00:31,200 --> 00:00:32,640
Two fantastic goals of course.

8
00:00:32,640 --> 00:00:36,840
Kondrieva, there was a bit of a goal keeping blunder over there as well.

9
00:00:36,840 --> 00:00:43,040
I would say Granted had quite the spin on it and he has a great technique when it comes to shooting.

10
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:47,320
But Malinowski's I think takes the cake because it was such a clean strike.

11
00:00:47,320 --> 00:00:49,640
Yeah, it was absolutely unstoppable.

12
00:00:49,640 --> 00:00:55,320
I think when someone describes an unstoppable strike, Malinowski's goal is what they would imagine.

13
00:00:55,320 --> 00:00:58,840
I wouldn't say it was a blunder by the keeper in Kondrieva's goal.

14
00:00:58,840 --> 00:01:04,600
I think that kind of knuckle shot, it's hard to tell where the ball is going.

15
00:01:04,600 --> 00:01:08,800
And with that power the reaction time is limited.

16
00:01:08,800 --> 00:01:13,240
But you could say it was stoppable in that sense, you know what I mean?

17
00:01:13,240 --> 00:01:14,440
Even though it's very difficult.

18
00:01:14,440 --> 00:01:16,360
So Malinowski takes the cake.

19
00:01:16,360 --> 00:01:18,960
Yeah, we had a few other honorable mentions.

20
00:01:18,960 --> 00:01:21,120
Of course Malinowski's and Kondrieva's were the best.

21
00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:26,040
But then there were Udon's goals, Sule's goal, the Balli, Sherawi and Xerxes.

22
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:27,480
They all scored great goals too.

23
00:01:27,480 --> 00:01:31,760
Yeah, but the two we mentioned before will probably be in the top 10 goals of the season.

24
00:01:31,760 --> 00:01:34,000
Yeah, that's the difference between them.

25
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:39,040
Don't forget to follow us guys on Instagram, TikTok and Twitter and YouTube as well.

26
00:01:39,040 --> 00:01:46,320
Don't forget to drop us a follow on Spotify, Apple podcasts, Google podcasts or wherever you get your podcasts.

27
00:01:46,320 --> 00:01:49,720
Yeah, we just saw the analytics of our Spotify wrap.

28
00:01:49,720 --> 00:01:56,480
And it was interesting to see that 116 of you had us as their number one podcast of 2023.

29
00:01:56,480 --> 00:02:01,200
And we were in the top five for 408 people and in the top 10 for 579.

30
00:02:01,200 --> 00:02:02,640
These numbers are great.

31
00:02:02,640 --> 00:02:03,680
We didn't expect this.

32
00:02:03,680 --> 00:02:05,400
So thank you very much, guys.

33
00:02:05,400 --> 00:02:10,200
And if we feature in your top five, your top 10 or your top one, please do send it over.

34
00:02:11,440 --> 00:02:13,640
We'd love to see who the real ones are.

35
00:02:13,640 --> 00:02:14,840
Yeah, absolutely.

36
00:02:14,840 --> 00:02:15,880
That's what growth looks like.

37
00:02:15,880 --> 00:02:16,360
I'd rather.

38
00:02:16,360 --> 00:02:17,160
Exactly, bro.

39
00:02:17,160 --> 00:02:18,880
That's exactly what it is.

40
00:02:18,880 --> 00:02:20,800
I want to shout out our patrons as well.

41
00:02:20,800 --> 00:02:21,640
Something we're doing.

42
00:02:21,640 --> 00:02:26,720
The family has grown on US patron David Mastro Battista has joined.

43
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:28,120
That's one hell of a name.

44
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:30,880
That's not quite sure what it means.

45
00:02:30,880 --> 00:02:33,480
There are like five different things I could say.

46
00:02:33,480 --> 00:02:34,800
Mastro Battista.

47
00:02:34,800 --> 00:02:36,360
What do you think it sounds like?

48
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,960
I mean, Master Bates is the first one that comes to mind.

49
00:02:39,960 --> 00:02:42,040
Like a master of master baiting.

50
00:02:42,040 --> 00:02:44,000
And the WWE guy, Battista.

51
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:44,960
Yeah, exactly.

52
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,520
Or my Astro Battista.

53
00:02:46,520 --> 00:02:49,800
Our patrons, shout out to you guys.

54
00:02:49,800 --> 00:02:54,920
There's Mintoff, Mike Luca, Alan Andy, Matias, Edward, Theo, Leana, Donna and Anthony.

55
00:02:55,160 --> 00:02:57,840
Thank you very much for your continuous support, guys.

56
00:02:58,400 --> 00:03:03,480
This match day, guys, had some great matches, some big matches, including Derby

57
00:03:03,480 --> 00:03:06,440
d'Italia, Mila Fiorentina, Atalanta Napoli.

58
00:03:06,640 --> 00:03:09,480
They were great goals, as like the ones we mentioned before.

59
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,840
Goals against Xs.

60
00:03:10,840 --> 00:03:11,800
We saw Pinna Monti.

61
00:03:11,800 --> 00:03:12,800
We saw Caputo.

62
00:03:13,640 --> 00:03:15,200
We saw Andreva as well.

63
00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:16,760
That was a goal against Lazio.

64
00:03:17,640 --> 00:03:23,400
Men wearing lipstick, obviously, in the campaign against domestic violence,

65
00:03:23,400 --> 00:03:27,440
something that hopefully all our listeners can campaign about.

66
00:03:27,440 --> 00:03:30,680
Did you see the social media posts by the official Serial Page?

67
00:03:30,800 --> 00:03:31,800
I don't think I did.

68
00:03:31,800 --> 00:03:35,680
Oh, come on, you must have, bro, with the red label on the picture.

69
00:03:35,680 --> 00:03:41,160
So there's a picture of the team or like Lautaro and Thuram celebrating, for example.

70
00:03:41,160 --> 00:03:44,720
It's like highest goal scored, most assists, right?

71
00:03:44,720 --> 00:03:49,440
And then at the bottom in red, it's like 160 women killed so far.

72
00:03:49,440 --> 00:03:50,440
My God.

73
00:03:50,440 --> 00:03:53,120
And over the picture, there's like Lautaro and Thuram celebrating.

74
00:03:53,120 --> 00:03:56,560
For the Frost and All in it, even it's like rapes have been committed.

75
00:03:56,560 --> 00:03:59,760
It's like, come on, dude, this is really the best approach.

76
00:04:01,480 --> 00:04:02,920
Maybe not, maybe not.

77
00:04:03,680 --> 00:04:05,760
Things to learn from, I guess.

78
00:04:06,120 --> 00:04:09,040
We also had some young stars entering the fray.

79
00:04:09,040 --> 00:04:13,160
We had some young goal scorers, but particularly Camarra, that became the youngest

80
00:04:13,160 --> 00:04:18,440
player to ever feature in a Serial match, just 15 turning 16 and around four months.

81
00:04:19,240 --> 00:04:22,760
Great to see young Italian talent, particularly upfront.

82
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:25,760
And we also had some great upsets as well.

83
00:04:26,320 --> 00:04:29,400
Yeah, it's been an actual packed weekend, to be honest.

84
00:04:29,720 --> 00:04:32,240
Catching up on everything was enjoyable.

85
00:04:32,400 --> 00:04:34,640
Yeah, especially for me now that I'm back.

86
00:04:34,640 --> 00:04:37,040
This was my first jam packed weekend.

87
00:04:37,040 --> 00:04:38,600
So how do you feel? How do you feel?

88
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:39,840
Great, man.

89
00:04:39,840 --> 00:04:44,560
And so Jake and I are living separately nowadays.

90
00:04:44,560 --> 00:04:47,600
So I was pretty much over for the majority of the weekend watching football.

91
00:04:47,600 --> 00:04:49,120
So that was cool. Very nice.

92
00:04:49,120 --> 00:04:50,560
It's nice having you over, bro.

93
00:04:50,920 --> 00:04:54,840
Not nice having to cook for you and to nap after you, but that's okay.

94
00:04:54,880 --> 00:04:55,480
Don't worry.

95
00:04:55,480 --> 00:04:56,920
The tide will turn.

96
00:04:56,920 --> 00:04:58,880
What did you watch Saturday, three o'clock?

97
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:03,440
I was watching Genoa and I was close to regretting it, to be honest,

98
00:05:03,440 --> 00:05:05,000
because the other game was an absolute cracker.

99
00:05:05,000 --> 00:05:08,720
But there was a Malinovsky's goal, so you can't really regret that.

100
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:10,320
Yeah, that was a good game as well, man.

101
00:05:10,320 --> 00:05:12,360
I was watching Saasvolo, Empoli,

102
00:05:13,120 --> 00:05:15,400
in and out because I was doing some chores around, you know,

103
00:05:15,400 --> 00:05:19,000
but the second all those goals started taking place.

104
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:22,200
And obviously I got intrigued, I got interested.

105
00:05:22,200 --> 00:05:24,160
You're there with the laundry basket and he's like,

106
00:05:24,160 --> 00:05:25,160
Sule!

107
00:05:28,240 --> 00:05:30,600
Sule, not for Empoli or Saasvolo.

108
00:05:31,280 --> 00:05:32,280
Oh, yeah.

109
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:33,520
Yeah.

110
00:05:33,520 --> 00:05:35,400
But for us, that's my bad.

111
00:05:35,640 --> 00:05:36,640
Yeah.

112
00:05:36,640 --> 00:05:40,960
So here's the rundown of the week for all you commuters

113
00:05:40,960 --> 00:05:44,000
needing to know exactly what happened in Serie A this weekend.

114
00:05:44,000 --> 00:05:48,120
And it's also the order in which we will be discussing these matches.

115
00:05:48,120 --> 00:05:50,720
So we'll start, obviously, with the Derby d'Italia.

116
00:05:50,720 --> 00:05:54,080
It was Juve, Inter, one, it was Vlaovic who opened the scoring,

117
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:57,520
but Lautaro Martinez managed to get one back in the first half

118
00:05:58,240 --> 00:06:00,080
for Inter to get the draw over there.

119
00:06:00,200 --> 00:06:05,040
Atalanta won Napoli two, it was Mazzari's first game for Napoli

120
00:06:05,040 --> 00:06:07,040
and it was a tough challenge away to Atalanta,

121
00:06:07,040 --> 00:06:09,840
but they did a spectacular job to get the victory over there.

122
00:06:10,400 --> 00:06:14,640
It was Milan one, Fiorentina nil in the third game we'll be covering,

123
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:19,360
just a singular Teo penalty, quite a decimated squad for Milan,

124
00:06:19,920 --> 00:06:24,680
which you rule out suspended as well, but a solid win over there for them.

125
00:06:24,880 --> 00:06:28,240
The fourth game is Empoli three, Saasvolo four.

126
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:32,320
This has to be the game of the weekend worldwide.

127
00:06:32,320 --> 00:06:36,960
Just two teams that were at each other's throats the entire time,

128
00:06:36,960 --> 00:06:39,200
so much so that they both forgot how to defend.

129
00:06:39,760 --> 00:06:43,840
Salernetana two, Lazio one, that is our upset of the week

130
00:06:43,840 --> 00:06:47,040
and what are showing it was by Salernetana, Pippo and Zaghi's side

131
00:06:47,040 --> 00:06:49,040
to get back into the game.

132
00:06:49,040 --> 00:06:53,840
Roma three, Udinese one, there was a scare for Roma when Udinese equalised,

133
00:06:54,240 --> 00:06:58,960
but great football by Roma in order to get that over the line.

134
00:06:58,960 --> 00:07:01,360
Great goal by Dabala, great goal by El-Sharawi.

135
00:07:01,360 --> 00:07:05,120
Bologna two, Torino nil, Torino were strong in the first half,

136
00:07:05,120 --> 00:07:09,360
particularly defensively, but Bologna are just on such hot form right now.

137
00:07:09,360 --> 00:07:12,000
I believe it's three wins in the last four games.

138
00:07:12,720 --> 00:07:16,800
Verona two, Lecce two, and what was a very competitive game between two

139
00:07:17,360 --> 00:07:21,040
very similar sides when you think about quality at the moment.

140
00:07:21,360 --> 00:07:24,880
Frozinoa two, Genoa one, a couple injuries for Genoa,

141
00:07:24,880 --> 00:07:27,360
but take nothing away from Frozinoa's performance,

142
00:07:27,360 --> 00:07:31,760
and Calieri one, Monza one is the last game that we're going to be covering.

143
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:35,200
Yeah, yeah, that's the rundown, that's the menu for today

144
00:07:35,200 --> 00:07:38,720
and I think we should jump straight into it, bro, with Derby d'Italia.

145
00:07:38,720 --> 00:07:42,800
Yes, Juve one, Inter one, the Derby d'Italia,

146
00:07:42,800 --> 00:07:46,480
obviously some might say it's the biggest game in Italy.

147
00:07:46,480 --> 00:07:49,760
I think there are more exciting Derbies, more heated Derbies,

148
00:07:49,760 --> 00:07:53,440
but these two sides really do put on a show against each other.

149
00:07:53,440 --> 00:07:57,360
Only two points separated these sides coming into the Derby d'Italia

150
00:07:57,360 --> 00:08:00,560
with Inter in first place and Juventus in second place.

151
00:08:01,360 --> 00:08:04,960
Couple injuries, Inter had Bastoni and Pavard out injured,

152
00:08:04,960 --> 00:08:09,040
so their back three consisted of Acerbi, De Vrij and Darmian,

153
00:08:09,040 --> 00:08:11,040
but they were otherwise at full strength,

154
00:08:11,040 --> 00:08:15,600
whilst Ruggani had to start at centre back for Juve due to Danilo's injury,

155
00:08:15,600 --> 00:08:18,640
and Caviglia also started the game in the centre of midfield

156
00:08:18,640 --> 00:08:20,800
because of Locatelli's cracked rib,

157
00:08:20,800 --> 00:08:23,600
but he still did feature of the bench.

158
00:08:23,600 --> 00:08:25,440
Juve also had Weyha out injured,

159
00:08:25,440 --> 00:08:28,640
so Cambia also started on the right and Costiccio on the left,

160
00:08:28,640 --> 00:08:31,600
and in case you guys are wondering who the fuck is Caviglia,

161
00:08:31,600 --> 00:08:34,080
he's also known as Niccoluci.

162
00:08:34,080 --> 00:08:36,400
Yeah, he was on loan at Salernitana last season

163
00:08:36,400 --> 00:08:39,600
where he played six games and scored one goal.

164
00:08:39,600 --> 00:08:41,920
There you go, Mr Statzman.

165
00:08:41,920 --> 00:08:45,280
Hell yeah, and this was his first start, fun fact, in the Derby d'Italia.

166
00:08:45,280 --> 00:08:47,760
Yeah, Laegri's really changed that department.

167
00:08:47,760 --> 00:08:51,040
He never used to trust young players this much.

168
00:08:51,040 --> 00:08:55,360
Aha, and this was more of a choice because Locatelli with his cracked rib,

169
00:08:55,360 --> 00:08:57,920
okay, you ideally wouldn't give him a full match,

170
00:08:57,920 --> 00:08:59,280
but he could have taken him off,

171
00:09:00,560 --> 00:09:03,200
but it took balls to start Niccoluci.

172
00:09:03,200 --> 00:09:05,440
Especially when there's Miretti as well on the bench,

173
00:09:05,440 --> 00:09:07,520
who he's been playing more,

174
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:09,760
so now he just randomly showed faith in a player

175
00:09:09,760 --> 00:09:12,000
that he had never showed faith in before.

176
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:14,480
And how do you think he performed, in your opinion, Niccoluci?

177
00:09:14,480 --> 00:09:15,680
Because I've heard mixed things.

178
00:09:15,680 --> 00:09:18,560
Yeah, so I've heard mixed things, particularly what I've heard

179
00:09:18,560 --> 00:09:20,720
from Juve fans associated with disappointment.

180
00:09:20,720 --> 00:09:24,880
I was on one of Juve's fan blogs and he got rated F4.

181
00:09:25,760 --> 00:09:28,160
They did make it clear that it's through no fault of his own,

182
00:09:28,160 --> 00:09:30,560
but it's due to the fact that he was tossed into the deep end.

183
00:09:31,120 --> 00:09:35,440
Look, I think his performance was a step behind, perhaps,

184
00:09:36,320 --> 00:09:40,400
but I think it was almost unrealizable

185
00:09:40,400 --> 00:09:43,440
that he was the new face within that team.

186
00:09:43,440 --> 00:09:46,720
I think he had quite a clean performance in that sense.

187
00:09:46,720 --> 00:09:50,320
It was barely noticeable in the game,

188
00:09:50,320 --> 00:09:54,000
which goes to show that he definitely didn't have a terrible showing.

189
00:09:54,000 --> 00:09:54,960
Absolutely, that's it.

190
00:09:54,960 --> 00:09:57,680
When you're playing centre-mid like that,

191
00:09:59,040 --> 00:10:01,920
granted, Inter were overrunning Juve most of the time,

192
00:10:01,920 --> 00:10:04,320
but that's because they were up against the three-man midfield

193
00:10:04,320 --> 00:10:06,320
of Barella, Cialano, Gloomiketarian.

194
00:10:06,960 --> 00:10:10,880
And not to mention that you have Darmion charging up

195
00:10:10,880 --> 00:10:14,160
or a JBL charging up, they joined the midfield and the attack.

196
00:10:14,160 --> 00:10:16,960
They tend to do that in this Inter system.

197
00:10:16,960 --> 00:10:20,480
The fact that he didn't stand out, Caviglia, is a very good sign.

198
00:10:20,480 --> 00:10:22,000
The fact that you don't realise he's there,

199
00:10:22,000 --> 00:10:25,280
the fact that that means that he was doing the simple things right

200
00:10:25,280 --> 00:10:27,200
without fucking up too much.

201
00:10:28,000 --> 00:10:29,600
He did lose the ball a few times.

202
00:10:29,600 --> 00:10:30,960
He made a few clumsy mistakes,

203
00:10:30,960 --> 00:10:33,760
but of course, when you get your first start on a stage like this,

204
00:10:33,760 --> 00:10:34,880
it's almost expected.

205
00:10:36,720 --> 00:10:39,760
I wouldn't be too disappointed with his performance at all.

206
00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:43,920
Yep, just going to go through the rundown of what went on in this game.

207
00:10:44,720 --> 00:10:46,640
Kiesa could have done better in the 15th minute,

208
00:10:46,640 --> 00:10:51,360
as his shot from inside the area went just over Summer's post,

209
00:10:51,360 --> 00:10:52,720
but he had time and space.

210
00:10:53,440 --> 00:10:56,640
Cialano took a rather hopeful strike moments later

211
00:10:56,640 --> 00:10:59,840
that somehow managed to make its way into the highlight reel.

212
00:10:59,840 --> 00:11:03,280
But in the 26th minute, Juve drew first blood through Vláovic,

213
00:11:03,280 --> 00:11:06,160
he finished cleanly after a Kiesa square ball.

214
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:08,080
It was the Serbian who started the attack,

215
00:11:08,080 --> 00:11:10,880
as he disposed of Dumfries in quite a dangerous area

216
00:11:10,880 --> 00:11:13,440
before outmisling him and finding Kiesa,

217
00:11:13,440 --> 00:11:15,840
receiving the return pass and finishing cleanly.

218
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:18,960
He needs to relax, Vláovic.

219
00:11:19,760 --> 00:11:22,000
I don't know what he was doing with the celebration.

220
00:11:22,000 --> 00:11:24,160
Yes, it's a goal in the Derby d'Italia,

221
00:11:24,160 --> 00:11:28,640
but brother, four celebrations in one, seriously.

222
00:11:28,640 --> 00:11:31,360
And they're all a specific type of celebration.

223
00:11:31,360 --> 00:11:32,080
Very cocky.

224
00:11:32,960 --> 00:11:33,760
I can't hear you.

225
00:11:34,640 --> 00:11:35,600
I'm right here.

226
00:11:35,600 --> 00:11:36,400
I'm staying here.

227
00:11:36,400 --> 00:11:37,760
Shush, I can't hear you.

228
00:11:37,760 --> 00:11:38,960
Yep, that's me.

229
00:11:38,960 --> 00:11:42,160
It's like, brother, this is what you should have been doing

230
00:11:42,160 --> 00:11:43,040
the entire time.

231
00:11:43,040 --> 00:11:45,360
I'm the first one to campaign in favour of Vláovic

232
00:11:45,360 --> 00:11:48,640
and criticise Adler's system for not playing

233
00:11:48,640 --> 00:11:51,520
to one of the greatest strikers in the league's strengths.

234
00:11:52,880 --> 00:11:56,160
But when you're not scoring goals and then you finally get one,

235
00:11:56,160 --> 00:12:00,960
be humble about it and focus on proving critics wrong

236
00:12:00,960 --> 00:12:04,000
through having a good season and not scoring one goal

237
00:12:05,040 --> 00:12:06,720
in the Derby d'Italia.

238
00:12:06,720 --> 00:12:08,240
But sure, whatever.

239
00:12:08,240 --> 00:12:09,280
Yeah, that's hilarious.

240
00:12:09,280 --> 00:12:11,280
It was like spamming fortnight dawns.

241
00:12:13,280 --> 00:12:16,560
Just six minutes later, Lautaro equalised after a low cross

242
00:12:16,560 --> 00:12:19,040
by Thuram, he finished very well into the far corner.

243
00:12:19,040 --> 00:12:21,040
It was great build-up play by Inter as well,

244
00:12:21,040 --> 00:12:22,320
quite similar goals.

245
00:12:22,320 --> 00:12:24,880
If you ask me, both came through a square pass, to be fair.

246
00:12:25,840 --> 00:12:28,560
Thuram should have done better after the restart

247
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:31,440
when scuffing the ball straight at Cesney

248
00:12:31,440 --> 00:12:34,080
after a smart Nicola Barela back heel flick.

249
00:12:34,080 --> 00:12:37,200
And then Henrik McItharion pulled it back from the byline.

250
00:12:38,400 --> 00:12:42,000
But Thuram couldn't do any better than that.

251
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:46,400
The second half was characterised by a lack of clear goal scoring opportunities.

252
00:12:46,400 --> 00:12:49,120
You start seeing Juve getting a bit more cautious.

253
00:12:49,120 --> 00:12:52,160
Inter may be not being that free-flowing.

254
00:12:52,160 --> 00:12:54,880
In fact, if you look at the ex-G recorded in this game,

255
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:56,400
it's quite low for both teams.

256
00:12:56,400 --> 00:13:00,160
Juan Cuadrado came on against his former club later on,

257
00:13:00,160 --> 00:13:02,880
and there were multiple Gears.

258
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:07,280
And then insulting chance, obviously, being a former Juventus player,

259
00:13:07,280 --> 00:13:08,800
going to their rivals.

260
00:13:09,680 --> 00:13:12,640
But it was overall basically a much scrappier second half

261
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:14,320
with long periods of inter-possession

262
00:13:14,320 --> 00:13:16,000
and very little to show for it.

263
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:19,600
The thing is that Juve, it was clear what they were trying to do.

264
00:13:19,600 --> 00:13:22,480
They were happy with the draw and they were playing for it.

265
00:13:22,480 --> 00:13:25,120
What surprised me is that Inter seemed happy as well with it.

266
00:13:25,120 --> 00:13:27,920
I don't know if it's because it's early on in the season,

267
00:13:27,920 --> 00:13:30,880
but I feel like if this game were to take place

268
00:13:30,880 --> 00:13:35,280
at a later stage in the season, let's say matchday 32, for example,

269
00:13:35,280 --> 00:13:37,280
the second half would have been very different.

270
00:13:37,280 --> 00:13:39,600
You'd have seen Inter all over the Juve side.

271
00:13:39,600 --> 00:13:42,160
But in reality, neither team really wanted to lose,

272
00:13:42,160 --> 00:13:46,480
and that's what contributed to the draw.

273
00:13:46,480 --> 00:13:49,440
I think it's smart by both sides to take that approach.

274
00:13:49,440 --> 00:13:51,840
If you look at this, it's matchday 13.

275
00:13:51,840 --> 00:13:56,000
Both of them understand that, yes, there's two points between them,

276
00:13:56,000 --> 00:14:00,000
but there's also 20-4 games,

277
00:14:00,000 --> 00:14:03,600
or 25 games left to be played as well.

278
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:06,720
So you can't get carried away and pile all men forward

279
00:14:06,720 --> 00:14:09,680
because you need a victory to cut the deficit,

280
00:14:09,680 --> 00:14:13,360
go first, or you need a victory to extend your advantage.

281
00:14:13,360 --> 00:14:16,400
So in my opinion, well played by both managers.

282
00:14:16,400 --> 00:14:19,440
I think it was a mature move by both of them.

283
00:14:19,440 --> 00:14:22,080
What that has done, however, this stalemate,

284
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,640
it has allowed Milan and Napoli to take advantage,

285
00:14:24,640 --> 00:14:28,320
who both won the game and they both edge closer to the top two.

286
00:14:28,320 --> 00:14:31,280
Yeah, that's totally the case.

287
00:14:31,280 --> 00:14:35,360
I had a question for you about player performance, brother.

288
00:14:35,360 --> 00:14:39,600
So one of the best right wingbacks, slash right backs,

289
00:14:39,600 --> 00:14:41,600
whatever, in the league so far this season

290
00:14:41,600 --> 00:14:43,200
has been Denzel Danfrit, right?

291
00:14:43,200 --> 00:14:44,560
Yeah, absolutely. He's been one of the best.

292
00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:45,520
For sure.

293
00:14:45,520 --> 00:14:49,200
However, in these games against big teams,

294
00:14:50,240 --> 00:14:54,240
I feel like he's not technically to standard.

295
00:14:54,240 --> 00:14:57,280
Like he made the mistake in this game that led to the goal.

296
00:14:57,280 --> 00:14:59,040
Yeah, he made the mistake exactly.

297
00:14:59,040 --> 00:15:01,120
And that is just the fact his touch, man.

298
00:15:01,120 --> 00:15:03,040
Oh my God, not great.

299
00:15:03,600 --> 00:15:06,880
No, I think that he's been there a while now.

300
00:15:06,880 --> 00:15:07,360
You know what I mean?

301
00:15:07,360 --> 00:15:09,040
He should really settle into the pressure of these big games.

302
00:15:09,040 --> 00:15:11,600
But he's always been this type of player, bro,

303
00:15:11,600 --> 00:15:12,960
like even with the Netherlands.

304
00:15:12,960 --> 00:15:14,640
I remember a pundit had said once,

305
00:15:14,640 --> 00:15:20,080
like whoever the fool is who falls for this Danfrit's Euro campaign

306
00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:22,800
and like splashes money on him to sign them,

307
00:15:22,800 --> 00:15:24,240
I'm going to feel terribly sorry for him.

308
00:15:24,240 --> 00:15:27,120
And it was inter.

309
00:15:27,120 --> 00:15:30,480
I don't like to splash the cash on Denzel Danfrit.

310
00:15:31,440 --> 00:15:33,920
He's good. He's serviceable. He's deployable.

311
00:15:33,920 --> 00:15:35,200
You can't play him.

312
00:15:35,200 --> 00:15:37,200
And athletically, he's better than most players.

313
00:15:37,200 --> 00:15:39,600
He's a freak when it comes to his athleticism.

314
00:15:39,600 --> 00:15:42,640
He's a big guy. He's strong. He's quick.

315
00:15:42,640 --> 00:15:44,640
He's a savage to play against.

316
00:15:44,640 --> 00:15:46,240
He's a very tough opponent.

317
00:15:46,240 --> 00:15:48,560
But then technically, I don't think he's...

318
00:15:48,560 --> 00:15:50,880
Like you compare his technique to DeMarco's technique

319
00:15:50,880 --> 00:15:53,760
on the other end, him and DeMarco are complete opposites.

320
00:15:53,760 --> 00:15:57,120
You see DeMarco, who physically isn't going to outpace his man.

321
00:15:57,120 --> 00:15:57,520
Yeah.

322
00:15:57,520 --> 00:15:58,320
He's not going to outpace his man.

323
00:15:58,320 --> 00:15:59,920
In fact, you see him in a back four for Italy

324
00:15:59,920 --> 00:16:02,240
and his struggles of DeMarco.

325
00:16:04,160 --> 00:16:05,360
They're polar opposites.

326
00:16:05,360 --> 00:16:07,920
Yeah. But what are inter good at?

327
00:16:08,480 --> 00:16:10,960
If you look at historically in the past decade,

328
00:16:10,960 --> 00:16:16,560
they are good at making good slash average players great at wingbacks.

329
00:16:17,280 --> 00:16:21,040
At playing wingback, Inter managed to get the best out of players.

330
00:16:21,040 --> 00:16:26,480
Now maybe Dumfries, his qualities show more in the role that he is playing,

331
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:30,480
particularly because a large portion of his role

332
00:16:30,480 --> 00:16:33,600
is bombing up and down that right flank.

333
00:16:33,600 --> 00:16:38,480
If you see him defensively, and then if you were to single out his defensive duties,

334
00:16:38,480 --> 00:16:39,760
it's nothing to write home about.

335
00:16:39,760 --> 00:16:44,480
If you were to single out his offensive duties and his capabilities,

336
00:16:44,480 --> 00:16:46,400
nothing to write home about either.

337
00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:47,280
You know what I mean?

338
00:16:47,280 --> 00:16:47,840
Yeah.

339
00:16:47,840 --> 00:16:49,840
So really, it's his industry.

340
00:16:49,840 --> 00:16:52,320
It's his tackling.

341
00:16:52,320 --> 00:16:53,680
It's his mind games.

342
00:16:53,680 --> 00:16:56,400
If you see him, his athleticism, absolutely.

343
00:16:56,400 --> 00:16:59,280
But I don't think he's a particularly stellar player.

344
00:16:59,280 --> 00:17:03,920
I think just Inter are very good at getting the best out of these wingbacks.

345
00:17:03,920 --> 00:17:05,520
Yeah. Fair enough.

346
00:17:05,520 --> 00:17:05,760
Fair enough.

347
00:17:05,760 --> 00:17:09,040
They have quite a few players in this team who are just purely solid.

348
00:17:09,040 --> 00:17:10,000
No nonsense.

349
00:17:10,000 --> 00:17:15,280
Solid, strong, physically able, and they can do a lot of damage.

350
00:17:15,280 --> 00:17:16,640
And sometimes they're so tough.

351
00:17:16,640 --> 00:17:18,640
Most of the time, they're so tough to score against.

352
00:17:18,640 --> 00:17:20,000
Yeah.

353
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,680
Did you know that Juve have maintained a positive record against Inter

354
00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:29,760
in their recent 12 Serie A encounters?

355
00:17:29,760 --> 00:17:33,040
Juve haven't lost to Inter in the past 12 Serie A games.

356
00:17:33,040 --> 00:17:34,800
Wow, they've got their number, huh?

357
00:17:34,800 --> 00:17:36,240
In the league, at least.

358
00:17:36,240 --> 00:17:36,880
In the league, yeah.

359
00:17:36,880 --> 00:17:38,240
You see them in the Coppa Italia.

360
00:17:38,240 --> 00:17:42,400
Inter tend to get the best of them, but that's Inter's trophy, apparently, nowadays.

361
00:17:42,400 --> 00:17:43,360
That's interesting.

362
00:17:43,360 --> 00:17:45,920
That means that Allegri's got these guys figured out.

363
00:17:47,200 --> 00:17:48,240
Not many people do.

364
00:17:48,240 --> 00:17:54,640
But to be fair, Inter definitely aren't unbeatable.

365
00:17:55,680 --> 00:17:59,120
They have had games where you think, at the end of the game,

366
00:17:59,120 --> 00:18:00,720
how the other team could have turned it around.

367
00:18:00,720 --> 00:18:02,640
But they were unlucky not to get anything over the easy.

368
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,640
Especially come to January, February.

369
00:18:05,200 --> 00:18:05,520
Yeah.

370
00:18:05,520 --> 00:18:10,640
And especially now that they're actually experiencing injuries for the first time in their history.

371
00:18:10,640 --> 00:18:11,280
Yeah, pretty much.

372
00:18:11,280 --> 00:18:13,360
They've got Pavard out.

373
00:18:13,360 --> 00:18:14,800
They've got Bastogna out.

374
00:18:14,800 --> 00:18:18,800
So it's a very good thing that they got ahead in the Champions League

375
00:18:18,800 --> 00:18:21,200
because they're fully rotating their squad for tonight.

376
00:18:21,200 --> 00:18:22,400
I don't know if you saw, they're starting.

377
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:25,440
Bissec, Arnav, Avicen, Sanchez up front together.

378
00:18:25,440 --> 00:18:26,560
Aslani in the middle.

379
00:18:26,560 --> 00:18:28,720
There's Carlos Augusta out wide.

380
00:18:28,720 --> 00:18:30,480
He's resting everyone.

381
00:18:30,480 --> 00:18:31,360
Jesus Christ.

382
00:18:31,360 --> 00:18:33,520
And that's what you get, even if you build a healthy advantage.

383
00:18:33,520 --> 00:18:37,200
And Milan, on the other hand, failed to secure two games.

384
00:18:37,200 --> 00:18:41,440
They are totally dominant in the Champions League against Dortmund and Newcastle.

385
00:18:41,440 --> 00:18:46,240
And then had all the pressure in the world to upset Dortmund at home granted,

386
00:18:46,240 --> 00:18:48,320
but with a very depleted squad.

387
00:18:48,320 --> 00:18:49,520
Decimated, man.

388
00:18:49,520 --> 00:18:50,000
Yeah.

389
00:18:50,000 --> 00:18:51,360
Khrunic sent it back.

390
00:18:51,360 --> 00:18:55,040
But anyway, that's not what we're talking about here.

391
00:18:55,040 --> 00:19:00,080
In that 65% ball possession and eight shots, you've had four shots

392
00:19:00,080 --> 00:19:02,640
and seem to prioritise the draw, as we mentioned,

393
00:19:02,640 --> 00:19:05,280
and Inter were just happy to play the ball around.

394
00:19:05,280 --> 00:19:09,040
And not the most exciting derby d'Italia, as that I've seen.

395
00:19:09,040 --> 00:19:09,440
No.

396
00:19:09,440 --> 00:19:11,760
The first half an hour was great.

397
00:19:11,760 --> 00:19:13,440
We saw two goals and all that.

398
00:19:14,080 --> 00:19:17,760
But after that, a little bit disappointing, I would say.

399
00:19:17,760 --> 00:19:19,760
No real ambition from either team.

400
00:19:19,760 --> 00:19:22,880
It was a chess match, no, almost.

401
00:19:22,880 --> 00:19:27,840
It was a chess match when the game was actually being played.

402
00:19:27,840 --> 00:19:31,440
And in between, it was both teams almost wasting time and killing the game.

403
00:19:31,440 --> 00:19:32,160
Yeah, exactly.

404
00:19:32,160 --> 00:19:35,680
At one point, you see Nzagi, the Inter coach, getting the ball.

405
00:19:35,680 --> 00:19:37,840
And he just holds onto it and he lags.

406
00:19:37,840 --> 00:19:39,840
And he zones out and he's holding the ball.

407
00:19:39,840 --> 00:19:42,560
And the player had to actually walk up and take it out of his hands.

408
00:19:42,560 --> 00:19:43,760
And that's never what he's like.

409
00:19:43,760 --> 00:19:45,440
He's always throwing the ball back to them.

410
00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:46,560
Come on, let's get going.

411
00:19:46,560 --> 00:19:47,280
Half naked.

412
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:48,000
Come on, come on, come on.

413
00:19:48,000 --> 00:19:48,960
Exactly.

414
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:51,440
But that wasn't the case.

415
00:19:51,440 --> 00:19:54,640
Clearly, again, a draw was the priority over here.

416
00:19:54,640 --> 00:19:56,720
Not losing was the priority, I would say.

417
00:19:56,720 --> 00:19:57,360
Yeah.

418
00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:59,920
I have some player performances to highlight,

419
00:19:59,920 --> 00:20:04,080
particularly from Inter, because we did see them with much more of the ball.

420
00:20:04,080 --> 00:20:05,600
I can't tell you much about Juve.

421
00:20:05,600 --> 00:20:07,840
Player performances, genuinely.

422
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,480
But from an Inter perspective, I thought Acerbi was excellent.

423
00:20:12,480 --> 00:20:16,000
He was the centre of Inter's possession for some reason,

424
00:20:16,000 --> 00:20:18,880
not only defensively, but with the ball at his feet.

425
00:20:18,880 --> 00:20:22,880
He had a touch total of 138.

426
00:20:22,880 --> 00:20:28,160
And he also gave 122 passes with 94% accuracy,

427
00:20:28,160 --> 00:20:30,640
including five accurate long balls.

428
00:20:30,640 --> 00:20:32,960
These are all team highs.

429
00:20:32,960 --> 00:20:33,360
Yeah.

430
00:20:33,360 --> 00:20:37,840
So he broke records in this performance for all those stats.

431
00:20:38,800 --> 00:20:39,440
Think about it.

432
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:42,720
He's filling in the shoes of Bastoni, playing on that left side.

433
00:20:42,720 --> 00:20:45,840
So he is technically the playmaker from the back.

434
00:20:45,840 --> 00:20:48,080
And he's against the team, like Juventus,

435
00:20:48,080 --> 00:20:49,520
so like to sit deep.

436
00:20:49,520 --> 00:20:50,960
So he's got all the time in the world

437
00:20:50,960 --> 00:20:53,920
to take those touches in his half and ping the ball around

438
00:20:53,920 --> 00:20:57,200
and pass in advance and receive the ball deep again,

439
00:20:57,200 --> 00:20:59,120
try to pass, turn the play.

440
00:21:00,560 --> 00:21:01,440
So yeah, and it makes sense.

441
00:21:01,440 --> 00:21:03,520
And if you look at Darmeon and Devrai as well,

442
00:21:03,520 --> 00:21:05,680
their stats were high, their possession stats too.

443
00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:05,840
Yeah.

444
00:21:05,840 --> 00:21:07,200
So all about the defenders.

445
00:21:08,720 --> 00:21:11,360
Enzaghi was like right-click on Acerbi,

446
00:21:12,000 --> 00:21:14,160
roll, ball playing defender.

447
00:21:14,160 --> 00:21:14,640
There we go.

448
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:15,360
That's what he did.

449
00:21:15,920 --> 00:21:18,880
Devrai, he was rock solid at the back in this game.

450
00:21:18,880 --> 00:21:22,800
And Devrai had seemed to kind of like fallen off a little bit

451
00:21:23,760 --> 00:21:25,760
over the past two, three years.

452
00:21:25,760 --> 00:21:27,120
But he was rock solid in this game.

453
00:21:27,120 --> 00:21:30,880
He tallied the second most touches for Inter with 110.

454
00:21:30,880 --> 00:21:34,160
And he went 101 out of 103 on passes,

455
00:21:34,160 --> 00:21:36,000
including three accurate long balls.

456
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:39,600
He made three clearances and two interceptions defensively,

457
00:21:40,400 --> 00:21:44,320
which was key because in a game of fine margins

458
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:48,560
and a game of a small amount of goals,

459
00:21:48,560 --> 00:21:49,760
all these moments count.

460
00:21:49,760 --> 00:21:50,800
Of course, yeah.

461
00:21:51,360 --> 00:21:53,840
I thought it was a clever game all around, man.

462
00:21:53,840 --> 00:21:55,200
For example, even double teaming,

463
00:21:55,200 --> 00:21:57,840
DeMarco really stopped Inter from advancing.

464
00:21:57,840 --> 00:21:58,400
In fact.

465
00:21:58,400 --> 00:22:00,320
Like the fact that every time DeMarco got the ball,

466
00:22:00,320 --> 00:22:02,160
he was with his back towards goal.

467
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:04,720
He had to always pass back because you know what you can do.

468
00:22:04,720 --> 00:22:06,800
If you give DeMarco time and space, he will punish you.

469
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:09,760
And they barely gave him time to think about the crosses.

470
00:22:09,760 --> 00:22:11,760
Crosses were often over hit for that reason.

471
00:22:11,760 --> 00:22:12,000
Yeah.

472
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,160
In fact, DeMarco, he didn't have the best outing.

473
00:22:14,160 --> 00:22:15,920
He lost possession 12 times.

474
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:18,800
And he also lost six out of 10 duels.

475
00:22:19,360 --> 00:22:22,640
He made up for it with two key passes and three accurate long balls,

476
00:22:22,640 --> 00:22:26,560
but other than that, again, quite a quiet showing for him.

477
00:22:26,560 --> 00:22:29,840
Because Allegri just understands like, look, this is the guy.

478
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:30,960
This is the playmaker.

479
00:22:30,960 --> 00:22:31,840
This is the Metronome.

480
00:22:31,840 --> 00:22:32,960
It's not Barrella.

481
00:22:32,960 --> 00:22:35,840
Didn't have a great game in this match either.

482
00:22:35,840 --> 00:22:36,800
It's not Meketarian.

483
00:22:36,800 --> 00:22:38,080
It's not Shalanoğlu.

484
00:22:38,080 --> 00:22:39,520
All these guys were quiet.

485
00:22:39,520 --> 00:22:42,960
It was the defensive players that were really getting forward

486
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:46,320
and trying to create something.

487
00:22:46,320 --> 00:22:48,080
They were at the center of Inter's team.

488
00:22:48,080 --> 00:22:50,880
I thought Shalanoğlu was very good to be fair, though, this game.

489
00:22:50,880 --> 00:22:52,880
I thought he was defensively or...

490
00:22:52,880 --> 00:22:53,680
Defensively or...

491
00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,640
In general, just his role in this region, his stop position.

492
00:22:56,640 --> 00:22:59,760
Man, he's really, really, really getting used to it.

493
00:22:59,760 --> 00:23:01,760
Like, and I wouldn't even say he's getting it.

494
00:23:01,760 --> 00:23:04,880
I would say he's got used to it and he's nailing it.

495
00:23:04,880 --> 00:23:10,480
In fact, like, I wouldn't put so much praise towards him

496
00:23:10,480 --> 00:23:13,120
for this performance, but in the number six role,

497
00:23:13,120 --> 00:23:14,880
he has really grown and he's looked solid.

498
00:23:14,880 --> 00:23:15,360
Yeah, totally.

499
00:23:15,360 --> 00:23:17,120
Particularly over the past two seasons.

500
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:18,480
Yeah, fair enough.

501
00:23:18,480 --> 00:23:22,800
Do you think that it is fair to say that this was a clash

502
00:23:22,800 --> 00:23:24,960
between Serie A's two best teams?

503
00:23:25,520 --> 00:23:28,160
I would say so, at the moment.

504
00:23:29,600 --> 00:23:31,760
Trying to think of who else there is,

505
00:23:31,760 --> 00:23:34,800
but you see some of the top teams struggling right now.

506
00:23:35,920 --> 00:23:38,960
Lots, obviously, were the most recent loss to Salah in Etana.

507
00:23:38,960 --> 00:23:41,360
Napoli had a little bit of a dip before this victory

508
00:23:41,360 --> 00:23:42,400
against Atalanta.

509
00:23:42,400 --> 00:23:44,400
Milan having their own struggles.

510
00:23:44,400 --> 00:23:46,640
Roma are up and coming now after a slow start,

511
00:23:46,640 --> 00:23:49,120
but I would say Inter and Juve are definitely

512
00:23:49,120 --> 00:23:52,320
the most consistent teams in the league.

513
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:56,560
Fair enough, yes, the most consistent and the title favourites

514
00:23:56,560 --> 00:23:57,280
at this stage.

515
00:23:58,080 --> 00:24:03,200
Granted, if you put the likes of Napoli or a fully fit Milan,

516
00:24:03,920 --> 00:24:05,520
you'll get better football.

517
00:24:05,520 --> 00:24:08,800
You'll get more entertaining football, more than Juve, at least.

518
00:24:09,280 --> 00:24:14,400
But these two teams have been the consistent teams this season

519
00:24:14,400 --> 00:24:15,840
and they're up there for a reason.

520
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:18,240
Yes, Inter are first with 32 points.

521
00:24:18,240 --> 00:24:20,400
Juve are just behind them, two points behind them

522
00:24:20,400 --> 00:24:22,000
in second on 30 points.

523
00:24:22,000 --> 00:24:23,680
Milan and Napoli are looming.

524
00:24:23,680 --> 00:24:25,680
Milan are six points behind the league leaders,

525
00:24:25,680 --> 00:24:27,920
while Napoli are eight points behind the league leaders.

526
00:24:28,720 --> 00:24:30,720
Yes, we can move on to Atalanta.

527
00:24:30,720 --> 00:24:32,400
One Napoli, two.

528
00:24:32,400 --> 00:24:35,760
This was Walter Mazzari's first game back at Napoli.

529
00:24:36,640 --> 00:24:39,040
This isn't his first roadie, of course, at Napoli.

530
00:24:39,600 --> 00:24:42,320
He was there back in the day when they had Kavani,

531
00:24:42,320 --> 00:24:43,440
Hamsek, Lavezzi.

532
00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:44,160
The team.

533
00:24:44,160 --> 00:24:45,280
Yes, those guys.

534
00:24:45,280 --> 00:24:48,240
So, so, come back Mazzari, he's loved over there

535
00:24:48,240 --> 00:24:50,320
and you can tell that there was a positive atmosphere

536
00:24:50,320 --> 00:24:53,600
to happen back and there was even a clip with Gavaratskali

537
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:55,040
kissing him on the cheek.

538
00:24:55,680 --> 00:24:56,640
And you'd think to yourself,

539
00:24:56,640 --> 00:24:58,480
wow, these guys have been training together for a week

540
00:24:58,480 --> 00:25:00,160
and the players are already kissing him on the cheek.

541
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:02,160
What's going to happen by a matchday 30?

542
00:25:02,160 --> 00:25:02,800
Exactly.

543
00:25:02,800 --> 00:25:03,840
What are we going to see?

544
00:25:07,120 --> 00:25:10,880
When it comes to lineups, it was a 3-4-1-2 formation

545
00:25:10,880 --> 00:25:12,960
for Giampiero Gasperini.

546
00:25:12,960 --> 00:25:14,960
This time he went for Karnasekki and Golan

547
00:25:14,960 --> 00:25:18,480
so who ended up making a costlier at the end of the game

548
00:25:18,480 --> 00:25:19,440
to lose them the game.

549
00:25:19,440 --> 00:25:21,600
The back three was the same as usual.

550
00:25:21,600 --> 00:25:24,240
What was interesting was backers started on the left

551
00:25:24,240 --> 00:25:26,560
and Skamaka was only fit enough to make the bench

552
00:25:26,560 --> 00:25:28,880
while Passali featured in the middle,

553
00:25:28,880 --> 00:25:32,160
playing behind Kup miners on the alongside Ederson.

554
00:25:32,160 --> 00:25:34,640
For Napoli, it was a goalie-nien goal.

555
00:25:35,600 --> 00:25:38,960
This is the first time Walter Mazzari chose a starting 11,

556
00:25:38,960 --> 00:25:40,080
so I'm going to read it out.

557
00:25:40,080 --> 00:25:40,400
Yeah.

558
00:25:40,400 --> 00:25:41,600
Okay, we had goalie-nien goal.

559
00:25:41,600 --> 00:25:42,720
It was a 4-3-3,

560
00:25:42,720 --> 00:25:45,040
something that Mazzari isn't too familiar with.

561
00:25:45,040 --> 00:25:47,040
He's used to the 3-3 at the back system,

562
00:25:47,040 --> 00:25:51,040
which is what he had done with Napoli in his previous showing for them.

563
00:25:51,040 --> 00:25:54,320
Yeah, Oliveira played instead of the injured Mario Rui

564
00:25:54,320 --> 00:25:56,240
and Oliveira fell injured himself

565
00:25:56,240 --> 00:25:58,080
and had to be replaced by Hohensuz.

566
00:25:58,080 --> 00:26:00,400
Natan, Rachmani and Di Lorenzo were also at the back

567
00:26:00,400 --> 00:26:02,080
with Zillian Schiller, Bottkan, D'Anguissa,

568
00:26:02,080 --> 00:26:03,680
standard business as usual in the middle

569
00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:06,000
with Politan on the right, Kovaratskeli on the left

570
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,200
and Raspadori up front.

571
00:26:07,200 --> 00:26:08,640
It's the same thing to be honest as usual.

572
00:26:08,640 --> 00:26:10,800
Ozimen was only fit enough for the bench

573
00:26:10,800 --> 00:26:13,600
and an interesting observation was that when he came on,

574
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,200
he wasn't wearing his mask.

575
00:26:15,200 --> 00:26:15,920
Strange, man.

576
00:26:17,440 --> 00:26:18,880
I'm sure the doctor would have told him

577
00:26:18,880 --> 00:26:22,320
there's a certain amount of time until he can't take it off

578
00:26:22,320 --> 00:26:24,880
and I'm sure he respected that and that's what he did.

579
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:27,440
But I thought we'd see him with it forever,

580
00:26:27,440 --> 00:26:30,240
the same way we saw at a check with this helmet forever.

581
00:26:30,240 --> 00:26:34,240
Honestly, it's almost disappointing to see him without it.

582
00:26:34,240 --> 00:26:38,320
He looked like a superhero with that mask and the yellow hair.

583
00:26:38,320 --> 00:26:40,560
I did forget that he's a rather handsome man

584
00:26:40,560 --> 00:26:41,600
Victor Ozimen.

585
00:26:41,600 --> 00:26:45,280
I forgot that since he had the mask on.

586
00:26:45,280 --> 00:26:47,200
I mean with the mask, he just looks formidable.

587
00:26:47,200 --> 00:26:48,960
You know, he looks intimidating

588
00:26:48,960 --> 00:26:52,240
and that's usually better when it comes to football.

589
00:26:52,240 --> 00:26:54,640
So it started off and the 33rd minute,

590
00:26:54,640 --> 00:26:56,400
Rachmani scored a nice header

591
00:26:56,400 --> 00:26:58,400
after a pitch of a ball by Raspadori.

592
00:26:58,400 --> 00:27:01,280
However, Vare intervened and it was cancelled

593
00:27:01,280 --> 00:27:02,720
and ruled off for offside.

594
00:27:03,760 --> 00:27:07,440
The most marginal offside in a wild match, man.

595
00:27:07,440 --> 00:27:09,680
Since Keenzev, Keenzev obviously takes the case

596
00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,120
because that was unreal.

597
00:27:12,080 --> 00:27:14,240
It was interesting to see Guaratschelia,

598
00:27:14,240 --> 00:27:16,160
triple man on many occasions.

599
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:18,160
I was a bit overkill, I thought,

600
00:27:18,160 --> 00:27:20,720
but pure Gasperini fashion that is.

601
00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:24,000
Guaratschelia scored a header to open the scoring

602
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,440
in the 44th minute.

603
00:27:26,160 --> 00:27:28,720
Di Lorenzo was left totally unpressed

604
00:27:28,720 --> 00:27:31,120
and Guaratschelia was left unmarked.

605
00:27:31,120 --> 00:27:33,040
And I didn't think he could hit the ball that well,

606
00:27:33,040 --> 00:27:33,920
but there we go.

607
00:27:33,920 --> 00:27:36,320
I believe he scored a header on his debut,

608
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:38,240
if I'm not mistaken, or was it his second goal?

609
00:27:38,240 --> 00:27:39,840
I think it was his second goal.

610
00:27:39,840 --> 00:27:41,440
I think it was his second goal.

611
00:27:41,440 --> 00:27:42,880
Good point, good point.

612
00:27:42,880 --> 00:27:44,400
And then that screamer against Montza.

613
00:27:47,600 --> 00:27:50,960
Yeah, I mean, then Lukman scored a header afterwards.

614
00:27:50,960 --> 00:27:54,160
Another player who I didn't think had that in his locker,

615
00:27:54,160 --> 00:27:56,080
Hans Hattaba, played him the ball

616
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,680
and Lukman just headed it in.

617
00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,200
And then in the 79th minute,

618
00:27:59,200 --> 00:28:02,000
there was a massive mistake by Karnasekki,

619
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:04,800
who played the ball straight to Annapoli midfielder

620
00:28:04,800 --> 00:28:06,640
and they slowly worked their way

621
00:28:06,640 --> 00:28:08,720
to Victor Ozzyman, who squared it to Elmas,

622
00:28:08,720 --> 00:28:12,480
who tapped it in, and that was enough to be the winning goal.

623
00:28:14,320 --> 00:28:17,840
Yeah, personally, bro, so we start off,

624
00:28:17,840 --> 00:28:20,720
I haven't quite liked Bakker as well.

625
00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:24,720
He's been kind of slow to settle.

626
00:28:24,720 --> 00:28:28,160
And Gasperini did say that all the new signings are settling.

627
00:28:28,160 --> 00:28:29,840
Well, this was still in preseason,

628
00:28:29,840 --> 00:28:32,480
except for Bakker, who's still very behind.

629
00:28:32,480 --> 00:28:34,160
And it's clear, and at half time,

630
00:28:34,160 --> 00:28:36,560
he did take him out and he brought on Rugggeri.

631
00:28:36,560 --> 00:28:38,720
I just wonder what the logic was

632
00:28:38,720 --> 00:28:40,880
in actually starting Bakker instead of Rugggeri,

633
00:28:40,880 --> 00:28:42,160
who's having a pretty good season.

634
00:28:43,040 --> 00:28:45,360
I would personally, like you're saying,

635
00:28:45,360 --> 00:28:48,160
I would personally, firstly, start Rugggeri,

636
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:51,600
because what a young, local talent to have

637
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,200
in a left-wing back role, and he's had good showings over there.

638
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:57,920
But you know Gasperini, he likes to change things around.

639
00:28:57,920 --> 00:28:59,040
And you also know Gasperini,

640
00:28:59,040 --> 00:29:02,160
he likes to throw his players under the bus every now and then.

641
00:29:02,160 --> 00:29:07,120
Does that have anything to do with how Bakker is settling? Maybe.

642
00:29:07,120 --> 00:29:12,800
Not every player has the same kind of means of motivation.

643
00:29:13,440 --> 00:29:18,880
So if Gasperini, if he was in his head about taking a while to settle,

644
00:29:18,880 --> 00:29:20,960
and then Gasperini makes that public,

645
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,720
it's like, okay, it's common knowledge now.

646
00:29:22,720 --> 00:29:24,720
So just something in the training camp.

647
00:29:24,720 --> 00:29:29,760
So could that possibly be something that is on Bakker's mind?

648
00:29:29,760 --> 00:29:32,240
Keep in mind, these are human beings at the end of the day.

649
00:29:32,960 --> 00:29:34,640
And to be honest, bro,

650
00:29:36,480 --> 00:29:39,520
honestly, sometimes if it's not going well for a player, just play him.

651
00:29:40,240 --> 00:29:40,880
I guess.

652
00:29:40,880 --> 00:29:43,520
You know, he might find his footing.

653
00:29:43,520 --> 00:29:46,560
He might have a moment that gives him confidence in a game,

654
00:29:46,560 --> 00:29:50,320
and it might change his entire trajectory of a season round.

655
00:29:51,200 --> 00:29:53,040
But yeah, I wasn't impressed at all.

656
00:29:53,760 --> 00:29:57,280
The Bakker that we saw clips of before looked a lot more exciting

657
00:29:57,280 --> 00:29:59,840
than this version of Bakker that we got.

658
00:29:59,840 --> 00:30:01,040
But of course, it's still early days.

659
00:30:01,040 --> 00:30:04,320
He's new to the league, and he needs some time to settle.

660
00:30:04,320 --> 00:30:08,480
Maybe season two for him in Serie A will be his breakout season.

661
00:30:08,480 --> 00:30:10,480
We'll see plenty of time left for Bakker.

662
00:30:11,040 --> 00:30:14,080
Of course, the talking point, the main talking point

663
00:30:14,080 --> 00:30:18,560
that I shouldn't have started with instead of Bakker,

664
00:30:18,560 --> 00:30:20,720
but I want to talk about Bakker, I need you to do bro.

665
00:30:21,840 --> 00:30:25,760
Is Mazzari's Napoli, what's different? What's the same?

666
00:30:25,760 --> 00:30:29,280
So I have an observation before we start.

667
00:30:30,080 --> 00:30:31,760
The team is very similar.

668
00:30:31,760 --> 00:30:34,320
When it comes to the front three, in this case,

669
00:30:34,320 --> 00:30:38,080
Gvarracchia, Spadoria and Poletano, they had a lot of freedom.

670
00:30:39,280 --> 00:30:40,560
A lot of freedom.

671
00:30:40,560 --> 00:30:44,080
The only two differences I noticed, which are massive differences,

672
00:30:44,080 --> 00:30:46,800
right, was Napoli were tighter.

673
00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,200
The players were closer together.

674
00:30:49,200 --> 00:30:50,000
They're gonna be, bro.

675
00:30:50,000 --> 00:30:51,120
And they're gonna be.

676
00:30:51,120 --> 00:30:51,360
Right?

677
00:30:52,400 --> 00:30:55,040
You look at Rudy Garcia's Napoli, I felt like sometimes

678
00:30:55,040 --> 00:30:57,120
there's a bit too much space between the players

679
00:30:57,120 --> 00:30:58,880
and they lost the fluidity.

680
00:30:58,880 --> 00:31:02,480
And for example, Lobotka couldn't thrive as he usually does

681
00:31:02,480 --> 00:31:05,040
in that pivot, because usually as players very close to him,

682
00:31:05,040 --> 00:31:07,600
they can play to, you know, in Spalletti's system.

683
00:31:07,600 --> 00:31:10,080
With Rudy, it was a little bit isolated there in the middle,

684
00:31:10,080 --> 00:31:11,280
but now they're tight again.

685
00:31:11,280 --> 00:31:14,160
And defensively, I don't know if it was a still one of,

686
00:31:14,160 --> 00:31:17,120
but they looked defensively sound, man.

687
00:31:17,120 --> 00:31:18,720
They looked really good defensively.

688
00:31:18,720 --> 00:31:22,000
It wouldn't be the, like I think the two things

689
00:31:22,000 --> 00:31:24,160
that you just said basically go hand in hand.

690
00:31:24,160 --> 00:31:27,680
If you look at how Napoli were great defensively,

691
00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:30,960
it's not to say that the back four were so much better

692
00:31:30,960 --> 00:31:32,640
than they were under Rudy Garcia.

693
00:31:32,640 --> 00:31:34,800
Maybe they had a better show in this game, sure.

694
00:31:34,800 --> 00:31:39,200
But I don't think two weeks of training under Mazzari

695
00:31:39,200 --> 00:31:41,520
has made the defense all that stronger.

696
00:31:41,520 --> 00:31:45,440
However, as a unit, because they are now defending as a team

697
00:31:45,440 --> 00:31:47,840
and they are defending more tightly,

698
00:31:47,840 --> 00:31:52,000
like the way you put it, they operate in such a tight space

699
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,520
off the ball, then that made them stronger defensively.

700
00:31:55,520 --> 00:31:58,800
I think the midfielders were putting in more of a shift

701
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:00,880
defensively rather than more of a shift.

702
00:32:00,880 --> 00:32:04,240
They were positioned in a more defensive manner.

703
00:32:04,240 --> 00:32:06,560
You look at this unit, this 4-3-3,

704
00:32:06,560 --> 00:32:10,400
and it was shifting as a whole throughout this entire game.

705
00:32:10,400 --> 00:32:11,120
You saw the shape.

706
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,640
It was never depleted, man.

707
00:32:12,640 --> 00:32:13,280
Never depleted.

708
00:32:13,280 --> 00:32:15,360
It's cool because like this, you kind of have a,

709
00:32:15,360 --> 00:32:20,720
a tactician in Mazzari who's quite defensively,

710
00:32:22,800 --> 00:32:24,480
he's defensive minded, right?

711
00:32:24,480 --> 00:32:26,800
He's going to set up exactly the old school.

712
00:32:26,800 --> 00:32:29,600
He's going to set, like, ideally play a 3 at the back, you know?

713
00:32:29,600 --> 00:32:31,920
But the thing is, he's got talented players up front

714
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:34,800
to the point that he's going to have this well-drilled unit

715
00:32:34,800 --> 00:32:37,840
that's tough to penetrate with three animals up front,

716
00:32:37,840 --> 00:32:40,880
completely on the loose with maximum freedom and liberty.

717
00:32:41,440 --> 00:32:42,720
I think they're going to be fun to watch.

718
00:32:42,720 --> 00:32:45,360
And I think they might, they might come back.

719
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:53,440
What's exciting is getting to see a manager who we are more recently used to seeing

720
00:32:53,440 --> 00:32:56,240
fighting for survival and doing this and that,

721
00:32:56,240 --> 00:32:59,840
being one of the old school reliable Katanaccio guys.

722
00:33:00,640 --> 00:33:02,960
Now, he's playing.

723
00:33:02,960 --> 00:33:03,920
He's having fun.

724
00:33:03,920 --> 00:33:05,360
He's with Napoli.

725
00:33:05,360 --> 00:33:10,160
He's got, he's got some world-class players in his side.

726
00:33:10,160 --> 00:33:17,680
So now we get to see how good one of these old, old school Italian managers can be

727
00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:20,400
when they have a top seven team at their arsenal.

728
00:33:20,400 --> 00:33:25,360
And maybe some other top seven teams, maybe who are struggling right now,

729
00:33:25,360 --> 00:33:29,040
maybe their manager might be on the way out, can take some ideas.

730
00:33:29,040 --> 00:33:29,520
Who knows?

731
00:33:29,520 --> 00:33:30,000
Yeah.

732
00:33:30,000 --> 00:33:30,480
Well, honestly.

733
00:33:30,480 --> 00:33:32,480
Maybe Pallardini at Milan.

734
00:33:36,080 --> 00:33:37,120
Can you imagine?

735
00:33:37,120 --> 00:33:41,920
Pallardini coming with his beanie and his sunglasses in five at the back.

736
00:33:41,920 --> 00:33:43,040
I'm all for it.

737
00:33:43,040 --> 00:33:43,600
Fuck it.

738
00:33:43,600 --> 00:33:46,240
You know, layout, bulletin shop front.

739
00:33:46,240 --> 00:33:47,360
Everyone else at the back.

740
00:33:49,360 --> 00:33:49,600
Yeah.

741
00:33:51,120 --> 00:33:53,840
Honestly, Atalanta needed a goal badly.

742
00:33:53,840 --> 00:33:55,440
So what did Gasperini do?

743
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:00,000
He waited till the 83rd minute and he brought on Scamacan Muriel together.

744
00:34:00,000 --> 00:34:00,640
It's Voto.

745
00:34:01,440 --> 00:34:03,040
Why wait so long?

746
00:34:03,760 --> 00:34:05,680
You conceded your goal in the 79th.

747
00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,440
Was he okay with a draw?

748
00:34:07,440 --> 00:34:13,520
Did he think that Lukman and Decay Tullara were fine up until that moment?

749
00:34:13,520 --> 00:34:14,240
I don't know.

750
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:21,920
I look, Lukman, I understand that he wanted to keep him on the pitch for as long as possible,

751
00:34:21,920 --> 00:34:26,560
because firstly, he got a goal, so he was in good spirits.

752
00:34:26,560 --> 00:34:31,200
Secondly, when it's a tight game, it's great having a striker like Lukman.

753
00:34:31,200 --> 00:34:31,440
Why?

754
00:34:31,440 --> 00:34:34,240
Because if you need him to run down the clock, he can run down the clock.

755
00:34:34,240 --> 00:34:36,960
If you need him to attack and be direct, he can attack and be direct.

756
00:34:36,960 --> 00:34:39,360
If you need him to take it to the corner flag, he can do that.

757
00:34:39,360 --> 00:34:45,520
He's one of those guys that you could even bring on in the latter stages of a match for you to keep a result.

758
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:49,120
Decay Tullara, but like fucking hell.

759
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:52,480
Like he should have taken him out, in my opinion.

760
00:34:53,520 --> 00:34:59,280
When he needed a goal, which was from the, well, he conceded in 79th minute, to be fair.

761
00:34:59,280 --> 00:35:01,200
And he made the double sub right then.

762
00:35:01,200 --> 00:35:04,480
So I don't even think he was going to bring on those strikers originally.

763
00:35:04,480 --> 00:35:09,520
I would have brought on Skamaka earlier, because even Skamaka as a player,

764
00:35:09,520 --> 00:35:13,040
it's not to say Decay Tullara is much more mobile than Skamaka.

765
00:35:13,040 --> 00:35:18,800
I would go as far to say that Skamaka is much more of a powerhouse than Decay Tullara.

766
00:35:18,800 --> 00:35:20,240
We've seen him roar like.

767
00:35:22,800 --> 00:35:25,760
Even the fact that, okay, it was a high intensity game,

768
00:35:25,760 --> 00:35:31,120
you're 1-1, let's say it's the 60th minute, 65th minute, okay, I get it, Lukman's a good player, right?

769
00:35:31,120 --> 00:35:35,440
But you look at the things that Muriel is going to bring you and what Lukman is going to bring you.

770
00:35:35,440 --> 00:35:36,960
They're quite similar nowadays.

771
00:35:36,960 --> 00:35:39,520
Muriel has improved again.

772
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:43,040
He dipped a lot last season, but this year he's looking a little bit better.

773
00:35:43,040 --> 00:35:47,040
He's looking more like the old Muriel that we kind of know.

774
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:53,280
Not the super sub who comes on and scores every game, but kind of a new through the watered down version of that.

775
00:35:53,280 --> 00:36:01,280
I think it would have been good for Gasprin to bring on some options up front to press the Napoli backline with some energy,

776
00:36:01,280 --> 00:36:03,680
because that's the Atalanta that we're used to know.

777
00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:07,280
High intensity pressing, forcing mistakes and scoring goals.

778
00:36:07,280 --> 00:36:14,080
And it seems like they've moved so far away from that now that like, you know, again, you look at the wings,

779
00:36:14,080 --> 00:36:17,280
they don't, you don't have anyone explosive on the wings anymore.

780
00:36:17,280 --> 00:36:19,280
You've got Bucke and Zappa Costa.

781
00:36:19,280 --> 00:36:21,280
It's slow.

782
00:36:21,280 --> 00:36:22,080
It's lethargic.

783
00:36:22,080 --> 00:36:23,280
It takes a while.

784
00:36:23,280 --> 00:36:25,280
They've lost a lot of their bite, man.

785
00:36:25,280 --> 00:36:33,280
And I feel like, I don't know, but Scamaka, them signing Scamaka, was them trying to get some of that bite back.

786
00:36:33,280 --> 00:36:43,280
And just when, when he's not on the pitch, it's, they're no longer lions, they're cats, you know what I mean?

787
00:36:43,280 --> 00:36:46,880
They're no longer that formidable side.

788
00:36:46,880 --> 00:36:55,280
They'll give everyone a game, but they've got no qualities that you could say that Atalanta will beat us because they are better than us at this.

789
00:36:55,280 --> 00:37:00,480
You know, Atalanta really struggle against the top teams.

790
00:37:00,480 --> 00:37:04,880
And that's a problem.

791
00:37:04,880 --> 00:37:06,480
Gasprini said the following.

792
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:08,080
Okay, I quoted him over here.

793
00:37:08,080 --> 00:37:11,680
Unfortunately, some incidents prevent us from raising the bar.

794
00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:21,680
Despite the fact that we play overall at the same level as teams like Inter, Napoli and Juventus, when this team shakes off some of its fears, they really cause problems to the opposition.

795
00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:28,480
So what he's saying over here, Gasprini is again, like the players are scared when they play big teams.

796
00:37:28,480 --> 00:37:33,680
And that is what holds them back from actually getting a result.

797
00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:37,680
He says that when they play without any fear against the smaller teams, they play incredibly.

798
00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,280
And we see this every week.

799
00:37:39,280 --> 00:37:41,280
They often blow teams out of the water.

800
00:37:41,280 --> 00:37:44,080
They look super organized and super good.

801
00:37:44,080 --> 00:37:44,880
But it's true.

802
00:37:44,880 --> 00:37:47,680
There is a mental block when it comes to Atalanta and these bigger teams.

803
00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:52,080
And I think there is some work to do to be done with the squad.

804
00:37:52,080 --> 00:37:58,880
I think that when it comes to Gasprini's system, for example, as we said, more explosive wingers, man, like Dumfries would be good here.

805
00:37:58,880 --> 00:38:00,480
You know what I mean?

806
00:38:00,480 --> 00:38:02,480
Like put Dumfries on the right, man.

807
00:38:02,480 --> 00:38:06,080
He needs to fucking charge up and down for the Atalanta team.

808
00:38:06,080 --> 00:38:10,080
This was a team that took advantage on high intensity, man.

809
00:38:10,080 --> 00:38:13,280
Because so many problems, obviously, because of high intensity.

810
00:38:13,280 --> 00:38:14,880
And it seems that they've lost it.

811
00:38:14,880 --> 00:38:22,880
Even if you look at their starting 11, as simple as that, I mean, Colassenac, New, Bucke, New, they're finding their feet.

812
00:38:22,880 --> 00:38:29,680
De Keitelar, New and Fragile, because he had his debut season last season for me.

813
00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:32,480
A lot of them, he has 35 million on him.

814
00:38:32,480 --> 00:38:37,680
He had a dreadful debut season and now he's at Atalanta.

815
00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:40,880
And he's still figuring himself out.

816
00:38:40,880 --> 00:38:46,480
Pasalic has struggled significantly over the past two seasons.

817
00:38:46,480 --> 00:38:48,080
I forgot to mention he scored this game.

818
00:38:48,080 --> 00:38:49,280
It was a 1-2, but he was offside.

819
00:38:49,280 --> 00:38:54,080
Pasalic is finding his feet again.

820
00:38:54,080 --> 00:38:56,480
Jim City spent a lot of time injured last season.

821
00:38:56,480 --> 00:39:02,480
Karne Sekki is obviously their new starting keeper ahead of Mussso.

822
00:39:02,480 --> 00:39:04,480
Nowadays, he's still finding his feet.

823
00:39:04,480 --> 00:39:08,880
He was obviously at Carmanese last year.

824
00:39:08,880 --> 00:39:15,680
So these are a lot of players, not only a lot of new players, but a lot of maybe inconsistent players.

825
00:39:15,680 --> 00:39:16,880
It's not always their fault.

826
00:39:16,880 --> 00:39:21,280
Some had been out injured, some were at different teams, so on and so forth.

827
00:39:21,280 --> 00:39:26,080
So I'm not crazy about Atalanta's starting line.

828
00:39:26,080 --> 00:39:32,480
Look, I look at Atalanta's starting lineup and I think it's actually quite solid, right?

829
00:39:32,480 --> 00:39:35,280
Maybe not for top four, but it's quite solid.

830
00:39:35,280 --> 00:39:38,480
I look at their midfield, for example, and I look at Coop Miners.

831
00:39:38,480 --> 00:39:40,480
Coop Miners is top three in his position.

832
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:42,080
For sure.

833
00:39:42,080 --> 00:39:44,480
You look at Ederson this season, he's been fantastic.

834
00:39:44,480 --> 00:39:45,280
He's been good.

835
00:39:45,280 --> 00:39:46,080
In the middle, you have that.

836
00:39:46,080 --> 00:39:47,280
You've got Skamaka, he's been good.

837
00:39:47,280 --> 00:39:52,480
He had minutes to go, as he was one of the leading players when it comes to conversion and ex-G.

838
00:39:52,480 --> 00:39:54,480
Lukman, fantastic as well.

839
00:39:54,480 --> 00:39:55,680
The back three, all right.

840
00:39:55,680 --> 00:39:58,480
It's Colas and actually, to be honest, he's fit in like a glove.

841
00:39:58,480 --> 00:39:59,680
It's like he's been there for ages.

842
00:39:59,680 --> 00:40:02,880
Jim City and Scalvini, very good as well.

843
00:40:02,880 --> 00:40:04,480
The goalkeeper is new, young and shaky.

844
00:40:04,480 --> 00:40:06,480
However, the thing that...

845
00:40:10,080 --> 00:40:10,880
The wings, man.

846
00:40:10,880 --> 00:40:11,480
Yeah.

847
00:40:11,480 --> 00:40:12,080
That's it.

848
00:40:12,080 --> 00:40:12,480
That's it.

849
00:40:12,480 --> 00:40:13,920
It's as simple as that.

850
00:40:13,920 --> 00:40:15,280
The wings are not too standard.

851
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:21,360
You don't think maybe the balance in the midfield could be a little bit better?

852
00:40:21,360 --> 00:40:22,480
Maybe they need someone?

853
00:40:22,480 --> 00:40:26,720
The midfield are three players who are so versatile, they can play in every position pretty much.

854
00:40:26,720 --> 00:40:29,360
I know that sometimes causes problems.

855
00:40:29,360 --> 00:40:29,680
Yeah.

856
00:40:29,680 --> 00:40:33,200
When there isn't that fucking system in place.

857
00:40:33,200 --> 00:40:35,840
But remember they were missing the rune as well, huh?

858
00:40:35,840 --> 00:40:36,240
Exactly.

859
00:40:36,240 --> 00:40:36,560
Yeah.

860
00:40:36,560 --> 00:40:38,320
I mean, I'm talking about this side.

861
00:40:38,320 --> 00:40:39,040
Ah, this side.

862
00:40:39,040 --> 00:40:39,680
This side.

863
00:40:39,680 --> 00:40:42,080
The fact you mentioned Skamaka and I'm like, yeah, but he's not there.

864
00:40:43,680 --> 00:40:46,720
You know what makes me happy about the Satalanta team?

865
00:40:46,720 --> 00:40:47,120
What?

866
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,280
Who's wearing the captain's armband, bro?

867
00:40:49,280 --> 00:40:50,080
Scalvini, bro.

868
00:40:50,080 --> 00:40:51,360
Fucking Scalvini dog.

869
00:40:51,360 --> 00:40:52,000
Yeah.

870
00:40:52,000 --> 00:40:52,400
How...

871
00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:54,400
The Scalvini is like 19 years old.

872
00:40:54,400 --> 00:40:56,320
19 years old wearing the captain's armband.

873
00:40:56,320 --> 00:40:57,040
That's great.

874
00:40:57,040 --> 00:40:58,480
Shout out Scalvini.

875
00:40:58,480 --> 00:41:02,240
And by the way, El Bilal Trauer, yeah?

876
00:41:03,760 --> 00:41:07,200
He's practicing his headers in the pool or so on Instagram story.

877
00:41:07,200 --> 00:41:08,160
He's on his way back.

878
00:41:08,160 --> 00:41:09,360
He's working.

879
00:41:09,360 --> 00:41:10,160
He's coming back.

880
00:41:10,160 --> 00:41:12,880
I wonder what he's going to be like because he's their record signing.

881
00:41:12,880 --> 00:41:13,760
I'm so curious.

882
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:16,160
Like he's their record signing and they've brought in Skamaka.

883
00:41:16,160 --> 00:41:18,240
I took him for one credit on Fanta.

884
00:41:18,240 --> 00:41:18,720
He might be.

885
00:41:18,720 --> 00:41:19,280
He might.

886
00:41:19,280 --> 00:41:22,240
But now he's going to get better and go to Afkan.

887
00:41:22,960 --> 00:41:24,160
Same as Osimhen, man.

888
00:41:24,160 --> 00:41:26,800
Like it's better and now we'll go to Afkan.

889
00:41:26,800 --> 00:41:29,760
That's why I have to be careful on Fanta with these Afkan players, bro.

890
00:41:30,560 --> 00:41:31,920
But anyway, yes.

891
00:41:31,920 --> 00:41:34,960
I don't know if there's anything else you want to point out from this game, bro.

892
00:41:34,960 --> 00:41:35,920
No, not particularly.

893
00:41:35,920 --> 00:41:36,960
I think we got it all, bro.

894
00:41:37,760 --> 00:41:38,400
Yeah.

895
00:41:38,400 --> 00:41:40,560
Muriel had a penalty appeal at the end of the game.

896
00:41:40,560 --> 00:41:45,120
I mean, he ended up kicking Elmas though.

897
00:41:45,120 --> 00:41:46,400
That was what the replay showed.

898
00:41:47,040 --> 00:41:51,120
There was smart positioning by Elmas putting himself between the ball and the man

899
00:41:51,840 --> 00:41:53,520
in order to dispossess Muriel.

900
00:41:53,520 --> 00:41:56,000
Muriel kicked him, fell to the floor claiming penalty.

901
00:41:56,000 --> 00:41:57,920
And he's like, no, it's an open.

902
00:41:57,920 --> 00:41:58,800
He kicked me.

903
00:41:58,800 --> 00:42:01,760
But granted, the player put himself between Muriel and the ball.

904
00:42:01,760 --> 00:42:02,880
Very smart over there.

905
00:42:03,760 --> 00:42:04,560
Elmas, it was.

906
00:42:05,120 --> 00:42:05,520
And yeah.

907
00:42:06,800 --> 00:42:08,000
Yeah, that's it for this one.

908
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:13,200
So right now, Napoli find themselves in fourth with 24 points,

909
00:42:13,200 --> 00:42:16,000
while Atalanta are down in seventh with 20 points.

910
00:42:16,800 --> 00:42:19,440
I believe you have the next game as well for us, brother.

911
00:42:19,440 --> 00:42:20,560
Oh, yes.

912
00:42:20,560 --> 00:42:21,600
Milan won.

913
00:42:21,600 --> 00:42:22,640
Oh, Fiorentina.

914
00:42:22,640 --> 00:42:24,000
Oh, yes.

915
00:42:24,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Milan won.

916
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:28,480
Fiorentina Nyl is the game.

917
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:30,640
And Jake is the name.

918
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:35,840
So we've got a four, two, three, one formation for Puglia as usual.

919
00:42:35,840 --> 00:42:37,840
Business as usual at the back this time.

920
00:42:37,840 --> 00:42:40,880
It was Reinders and Pobega in the middle.

921
00:42:40,880 --> 00:42:43,040
Samuel Chouqués started on the right wing,

922
00:42:43,040 --> 00:42:47,120
Polisic on the left wing, Moussa in the attacking midfield position

923
00:42:47,120 --> 00:42:50,400
with Luka Jovic up front who, congratulations,

924
00:42:50,400 --> 00:42:53,520
has taken his first shot wearing a Milan shirt this game.

925
00:42:54,800 --> 00:42:57,840
Coming into the, honestly, after half time, I told Jake,

926
00:42:57,840 --> 00:43:01,360
have we seen Jovic touch the ball for Milan yet?

927
00:43:01,360 --> 00:43:02,560
Have we seen it?

928
00:43:02,560 --> 00:43:07,120
The answer is yes, but it's an exaggeration of how quiet he is.

929
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:09,680
Every time Puglia talks about Jovic, he goes,

930
00:43:09,680 --> 00:43:11,120
ah, he can play football.

931
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:13,520
Like, is that really, is that what you saw?

932
00:43:13,520 --> 00:43:14,480
I saw a glimpse, huh?

933
00:43:14,480 --> 00:43:16,160
I saw a glimpse against the right.

934
00:43:16,160 --> 00:43:17,120
He can play.

935
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:19,040
Ah, you actually saying yourself.

936
00:43:19,040 --> 00:43:21,680
I saw a glimpse against Dortmund.

937
00:43:21,680 --> 00:43:25,760
He was really like, he was not positioned to get a good header away

938
00:43:25,760 --> 00:43:27,680
and he got a very powerful header away,

939
00:43:27,680 --> 00:43:29,120
forced, I would say, from the keeper.

940
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,960
You know that pissed me off, him playing well against Dortmund.

941
00:43:32,960 --> 00:43:36,000
Because it's champions league backstage.

942
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:40,720
It's because he was playing well because the pressure was almost off,

943
00:43:40,720 --> 00:43:42,000
because Milan had already lost.

944
00:43:43,600 --> 00:43:45,040
Right, he came on.

945
00:43:45,040 --> 00:43:49,920
Milan had lost, quite frankly, already was like 3-1, I think, when he came on.

946
00:43:49,920 --> 00:43:51,120
Come on, don't be a pessimist.

947
00:43:51,120 --> 00:43:51,920
And no, man, no, no.

948
00:43:51,920 --> 00:43:53,040
He came on and he fought.

949
00:43:53,040 --> 00:43:56,960
He came on, he fought, sure, but there was no pressure in reality,

950
00:43:56,960 --> 00:43:58,240
because the game was over.

951
00:43:58,240 --> 00:43:58,480
No.

952
00:43:59,680 --> 00:44:00,880
Like, he could score a grant.

953
00:44:00,880 --> 00:44:01,360
I guess.

954
00:44:01,360 --> 00:44:04,080
But Milan weren't going to score 3, you know.

955
00:44:04,080 --> 00:44:07,040
It wasn't like it was 1-1 or Milan were losing 1-0

956
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:09,440
and he needed to equalize or he needed to score the winner.

957
00:44:09,440 --> 00:44:10,560
Zakatra or Eandela.

958
00:44:10,560 --> 00:44:11,600
Yeah, exactly.

959
00:44:11,600 --> 00:44:18,000
And then when you see him in the league, in situations where the score is nil-nil

960
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:21,600
or 1-1 or Milan are losing 1-0, he doesn't do anything.

961
00:44:21,600 --> 00:44:23,600
Show us something, Luca.

962
00:44:23,600 --> 00:44:28,800
That might be harsh, but nonetheless, moving on to Fiorentina.

963
00:44:28,800 --> 00:44:31,200
It's a 4-2-3-1 as well, mirroring it.

964
00:44:31,200 --> 00:44:33,840
And they were pretty much full flow, to be honest.

965
00:44:33,840 --> 00:44:35,600
It was Duncan and Arthur in the middle.

966
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:39,040
Sotilo was out on the left with Bonaventura as a track artist.

967
00:44:39,040 --> 00:44:43,920
Gonzalez on the right and Beltran getting the nod, the head of Inzola up front.

968
00:44:43,920 --> 00:44:47,120
Even though Italian was not sure about either of them nowadays.

969
00:44:47,120 --> 00:44:51,120
The highlight of this game and the talking point on the news headlines

970
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:55,280
were all about 15-year-old Camarda who came off the bench.

971
00:44:55,280 --> 00:44:56,960
Why was he the headline?

972
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,560
Because he's 15 years old.

973
00:44:58,560 --> 00:45:02,720
He's the youngest ever player in history.

974
00:45:02,720 --> 00:45:03,920
A child.

975
00:45:03,920 --> 00:45:05,600
A literal child.

976
00:45:05,600 --> 00:45:11,360
I believe he broke Amy's record who was given his...

977
00:45:11,360 --> 00:45:12,880
Amy?

978
00:45:12,880 --> 00:45:14,320
Amy was a singer.

979
00:45:14,320 --> 00:45:16,320
Why did you bring her into this?

980
00:45:16,320 --> 00:45:17,360
Jesus.

981
00:45:17,360 --> 00:45:18,320
What the hell?

982
00:45:18,320 --> 00:45:19,520
That's his ex-girlfriend.

983
00:45:19,520 --> 00:45:25,120
Yeah, Amy was a player at Bologna and Mahilovic gave him his debut, basically.

984
00:45:25,120 --> 00:45:30,160
But yes, there's a hilarious video of Camarda getting on the team bus.

985
00:45:30,160 --> 00:45:33,760
And of course, when you're 15, you're 15, like, let's be real.

986
00:45:33,760 --> 00:45:36,560
How much experience do you have in the world?

987
00:45:36,560 --> 00:45:37,600
Not much at all.

988
00:45:37,600 --> 00:45:38,800
Like, you've barely been speaking.

989
00:45:38,800 --> 00:45:40,240
You've barely conscious at 15.

990
00:45:40,240 --> 00:45:41,040
Exactly.

991
00:45:41,040 --> 00:45:44,240
And so he was the first one to get on the team bus and there were the fans around.

992
00:45:44,240 --> 00:45:46,240
They were going, hey, come on, hey.

993
00:45:46,240 --> 00:45:49,200
And he just didn't go on the team bus and he went straight to the fans.

994
00:45:49,200 --> 00:45:50,240
They're shaking it out.

995
00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:52,080
I was like, what's this guy doing?

996
00:45:52,080 --> 00:45:54,240
You're meant to just get on the bus, you know?

997
00:45:54,240 --> 00:45:56,240
But he was so excited.

998
00:45:56,240 --> 00:45:57,760
Another funny one.

999
00:45:57,760 --> 00:45:58,880
That was cute, man.

1000
00:45:58,880 --> 00:45:59,760
It was cute.

1001
00:45:59,760 --> 00:46:02,800
Another funny one is that he was too shy to ask,

1002
00:46:02,800 --> 00:46:06,000
to ask the club for tickets for his parents.

1003
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:11,760
So he went to the Milan store with his dad and he bought the tickets from there with his dad, Camarda.

1004
00:46:11,760 --> 00:46:14,160
That's another funny one.

1005
00:46:14,160 --> 00:46:15,280
His parents were at the stadium.

1006
00:46:15,280 --> 00:46:19,200
There's a viral video of them crying and the father looks so proud.

1007
00:46:19,200 --> 00:46:20,160
The mother's in tears.

1008
00:46:20,160 --> 00:46:21,040
It's lovely to see.

1009
00:46:21,040 --> 00:46:25,440
And there was one more thing about Camarda Mania that I must be forgetting.

1010
00:46:25,440 --> 00:46:26,480
Ah, yes.

1011
00:46:26,480 --> 00:46:28,160
And he was at Sun Zero in the Champions League.

1012
00:46:28,160 --> 00:46:33,600
Yeah, filming the live streaming, the curva.

1013
00:46:33,600 --> 00:46:36,480
Man, when he came on and they shouted his name.

1014
00:46:36,480 --> 00:46:37,840
Yeah, exactly.

1015
00:46:37,840 --> 00:46:39,440
You could see his face.

1016
00:46:39,440 --> 00:46:41,840
I think I have a theory as to why he was brought on, bro.

1017
00:46:41,840 --> 00:46:42,240
Tell me.

1018
00:46:42,240 --> 00:46:45,840
Because there's no logic in bringing on a 15-year-old boy for 15 minutes

1019
00:46:45,840 --> 00:46:47,600
and I must win a game against Valentina, right?

1020
00:46:47,600 --> 00:46:48,240
Hmm.

1021
00:46:48,240 --> 00:46:48,960
There's a little bit.

1022
00:46:48,960 --> 00:46:51,440
Maybe I'm lubing him up a bit.

1023
00:46:51,440 --> 00:46:52,480
Think about it.

1024
00:46:52,480 --> 00:46:56,880
You're talking about one of the biggest clubs in the world, in Milan.

1025
00:46:56,880 --> 00:46:57,680
With two strikers.

1026
00:46:57,680 --> 00:46:58,880
You're talking exactly.

1027
00:46:58,880 --> 00:46:59,600
Yes.

1028
00:46:59,600 --> 00:47:01,120
But then you look at their entire system.

1029
00:47:01,120 --> 00:47:05,520
There are players registered at Milan who are older than Camarda who can play soccer.

1030
00:47:05,520 --> 00:47:10,960
And worst case scenario in that, you can play a player who maybe isn't a natural striker,

1031
00:47:10,960 --> 00:47:13,040
but you can pop him in there to fill in the role, right?

1032
00:47:13,040 --> 00:47:17,040
Because he's experienced, he's fully developed, like a 15-year-old boy.

1033
00:47:17,040 --> 00:47:24,160
But I think that since Camarda's so special, and because there were all these links to Man City,

1034
00:47:24,160 --> 00:47:29,360
to all these German teams with great youth structure and all this,

1035
00:47:29,920 --> 00:47:32,960
Milan wanted to give him a reason to stay.

1036
00:47:32,960 --> 00:47:36,080
I think Milan wanted to make him obsessed with Milan.

1037
00:47:36,080 --> 00:47:39,920
I think they wanted to give him a taste of San Siro, dude.

1038
00:47:39,920 --> 00:47:41,360
And how are you going to do that?

1039
00:47:41,360 --> 00:47:42,400
You bring him on.

1040
00:47:42,400 --> 00:47:44,720
You have all the fans screaming his name.

1041
00:47:44,720 --> 00:47:47,280
You get them going on the team bus, joining the players,

1042
00:47:47,280 --> 00:47:49,440
training with Rafael Leão and all these guys.

1043
00:47:49,440 --> 00:47:51,040
And granted, he had been training with them.

1044
00:47:51,040 --> 00:47:57,440
But I do think that that's the reason why Camarda was brought on this game.

1045
00:47:57,440 --> 00:48:00,160
Simply for him to pen that contract.

1046
00:48:00,160 --> 00:48:02,320
Yeah, that's a good point.

1047
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:05,520
They could also be putting up his value as well.

1048
00:48:06,560 --> 00:48:07,840
They want a new record, no?

1049
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:08,400
Yeah.

1050
00:48:08,400 --> 00:48:11,760
I was quite sure that Fiora and Tina had some injuries to their team,

1051
00:48:11,760 --> 00:48:15,360
but looking at it, they seem to be at full flow.

1052
00:48:15,360 --> 00:48:16,240
Pretty much, bro.

1053
00:48:16,240 --> 00:48:17,360
Pretty much full flow.

1054
00:48:17,360 --> 00:48:21,760
There were quite a few Xs this game.

1055
00:48:21,760 --> 00:48:24,400
There were Jovic and Jack Bonaventura.

1056
00:48:24,400 --> 00:48:25,840
I spent six seasons at Milan.

1057
00:48:27,200 --> 00:48:31,840
For Milan, of course, there were Giroux, Leão, Ocafor, Ben-Assar out.

1058
00:48:31,840 --> 00:48:32,720
Everyone is out.

1059
00:48:33,600 --> 00:48:38,800
There was an interesting quote by a Fiora and Tina player on Vincenzo Italiano.

1060
00:48:39,360 --> 00:48:41,200
I didn't catch who the player was.

1061
00:48:41,200 --> 00:48:42,960
However, what he said stuck with me.

1062
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:46,640
He said, the coach is crazy, but he knows what he's doing.

1063
00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:47,440
I mean, yes.

1064
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:49,760
That's the perfect way to put it.

1065
00:48:49,760 --> 00:48:51,200
You can tell Italiano.

1066
00:48:51,200 --> 00:48:51,360
Yeah.

1067
00:48:51,360 --> 00:48:52,320
It seems a little bit crazy.

1068
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:54,400
Oh, so sorry.

1069
00:48:54,400 --> 00:48:56,240
I keep talking about everything except the game, bro.

1070
00:48:56,240 --> 00:48:58,080
But this is very important.

1071
00:48:58,080 --> 00:48:58,560
All right.

1072
00:48:58,560 --> 00:49:05,360
Did you see the video on Milan's social media of the admin of TikTok

1073
00:49:05,360 --> 00:49:08,240
was asking Milan players to show their wallpapers?

1074
00:49:08,240 --> 00:49:10,240
Ah, yes, bro.

1075
00:49:10,240 --> 00:49:14,800
Bro, what the hell is Chouquette's wallpaper?

1076
00:49:14,800 --> 00:49:16,800
They were like, can we see your wallpapers?

1077
00:49:16,800 --> 00:49:18,000
No, no, no.

1078
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:21,840
Like what the hell is your wallpaper if you don't want to show it?

1079
00:49:21,840 --> 00:49:28,720
It's probably a picture of himself or a very provocative photo from his woman.

1080
00:49:29,280 --> 00:49:29,920
Maybe.

1081
00:49:29,920 --> 00:49:30,320
Maybe.

1082
00:49:30,320 --> 00:49:31,440
I found that really funny, though.

1083
00:49:31,440 --> 00:49:33,360
I would say, what the hell is his wallpaper?

1084
00:49:35,280 --> 00:49:35,520
Yeah.

1085
00:49:35,520 --> 00:49:37,760
The first chance of the game, let's talk about football,

1086
00:49:37,760 --> 00:49:39,520
a bit came in the 22nd minute.

1087
00:49:39,520 --> 00:49:41,680
It was quite a KGF airp until that point.

1088
00:49:41,680 --> 00:49:44,720
It was Pulisic who had a snapshot.

1089
00:49:44,720 --> 00:49:46,560
Tomori was brilliant this game.

1090
00:49:46,560 --> 00:49:48,240
Manjane was really dramatic.

1091
00:49:48,240 --> 00:49:49,600
He was making good saves.

1092
00:49:49,600 --> 00:49:54,240
Granta, but every time he would stay down, he would, you know, how he is.

1093
00:49:54,240 --> 00:49:59,120
And apparently after the game, at the end of the game, there was a shot close range.

1094
00:49:59,760 --> 00:50:00,640
Should have been the winner.

1095
00:50:00,640 --> 00:50:06,240
Like Manjane, this eagle mic, you know, arms wide open the ball, smacks him in the face

1096
00:50:06,240 --> 00:50:07,920
and goes out like, what a save.

1097
00:50:07,920 --> 00:50:11,120
Granta was with your face, but he's so brave.

1098
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:11,840
Like what a save.

1099
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,000
So he does that, right?

1100
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,560
He had been rolling around the floor all game, right?

1101
00:50:16,560 --> 00:50:19,120
And like that's not enough for him, the headlines.

1102
00:50:19,120 --> 00:50:22,400
Not to say that Mike Manjane suffered so much this game,

1103
00:50:22,400 --> 00:50:23,840
but he came out as a hero at the end.

1104
00:50:23,840 --> 00:50:25,600
Now he came out, he's like, you know, I had fever.

1105
00:50:26,720 --> 00:50:27,920
Man, can I tell you?

1106
00:50:27,920 --> 00:50:29,280
He had fever as well, Mike.

1107
00:50:30,560 --> 00:50:31,280
Mike, man.

1108
00:50:32,800 --> 00:50:34,320
Great goalkeeper.

1109
00:50:34,320 --> 00:50:34,720
Okay.

1110
00:50:34,720 --> 00:50:36,800
Maybe we look at his performance against Dortmund.

1111
00:50:37,440 --> 00:50:38,240
Questionable.

1112
00:50:39,360 --> 00:50:40,720
Fantastic goalkeeper.

1113
00:50:40,720 --> 00:50:43,360
Massive upgrade from, from Dona Rumma.

1114
00:50:43,360 --> 00:50:47,200
But since the negotiations, I've been seeing his attitude, man.

1115
00:50:47,200 --> 00:50:48,320
You know what I mean?

1116
00:50:48,320 --> 00:50:52,400
And it's like firstly he's asking for 10 million a season, which is like,

1117
00:50:52,400 --> 00:50:53,520
something like that.

1118
00:50:53,520 --> 00:50:54,080
Relax.

1119
00:50:54,640 --> 00:50:55,040
Pretty much.

1120
00:50:55,040 --> 00:50:58,960
Yeah, I'm just rounding it up around 10 million a season he's asking for.

1121
00:50:59,840 --> 00:51:01,200
What's with the heart attacks?

1122
00:51:01,200 --> 00:51:06,320
Every time he does something, he's down on the ground for a fucking five, six minutes, man.

1123
00:51:06,320 --> 00:51:09,280
I don't know, I don't know what to do.

1124
00:51:09,280 --> 00:51:11,680
I think even with his whole Portiera Taka and the things,

1125
00:51:11,680 --> 00:51:14,240
like he just wants to be the main character.

1126
00:51:14,240 --> 00:51:16,320
Like sometimes he tries to ping balls for it.

1127
00:51:16,320 --> 00:51:20,320
It's just like sometimes let's play the ball out from the back.

1128
00:51:20,320 --> 00:51:24,880
Don't always try to get it to Lea or don't always try to get it to Jiru.

1129
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:29,440
Let's, let's get the defenders involved, play it to Theo, play it to Calabria, something.

1130
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:35,440
Yeah, sometimes his decisions and the way he is pisses me off, man.

1131
00:51:35,440 --> 00:51:37,600
Look, I think drama queen is the best way to put it.

1132
00:51:37,600 --> 00:51:38,320
Perfect.

1133
00:51:38,320 --> 00:51:39,760
Yeah, little drama queen.

1134
00:51:41,120 --> 00:51:45,520
Theo Hernandez had a few moments where his controller disconnected and he just lost the ball at the back.

1135
00:51:46,880 --> 00:51:51,120
Parisi gave away a penalty on Theo Hernandez and that's what eventually led to the goal.

1136
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:54,880
This was at the end of the first half in the 46th minute.

1137
00:51:55,680 --> 00:51:59,440
Parisi essentially just pushed Theo to the ground who looked to be cleaned through.

1138
00:51:59,440 --> 00:52:01,760
Theo stepped up, took the penalty and scored it.

1139
00:52:03,280 --> 00:52:04,000
Let's play a game.

1140
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:07,200
Guess how many touches Jovic had in the first half?

1141
00:52:09,040 --> 00:52:10,800
Again, five.

1142
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:13,040
Oh, I hate when you do that.

1143
00:52:13,040 --> 00:52:23,840
In the 48th minute, there was a little bit of confusion as Chouquette almost scored the header

1144
00:52:23,840 --> 00:52:29,440
and while it was showing the replay, the ball, the angle, the camera angle just cut and Beltran's one-on-one.

1145
00:52:29,440 --> 00:52:31,680
I took a really heavy touch.

1146
00:52:31,680 --> 00:52:34,080
Manjane dove out and saved the takeout.

1147
00:52:34,080 --> 00:52:35,760
Okay, Manjane, fantastic again.

1148
00:52:36,720 --> 00:52:37,920
Beltran, terrible touch.

1149
00:52:37,920 --> 00:52:39,360
That's what he's meant to have.

1150
00:52:39,360 --> 00:52:42,560
That insola doesn't have that kind of sharp, refined edge.

1151
00:52:42,560 --> 00:52:43,040
Exactly.

1152
00:52:43,040 --> 00:52:47,440
While insola is more like pace and power and these are Italianos words, not mine.

1153
00:52:49,840 --> 00:52:56,080
Yeah, in the 68th minute and then eventually, Polisic was subbed out for Ruben Lofti-Sic,

1154
00:52:56,080 --> 00:52:58,960
who played behind the striker interestingly enough.

1155
00:52:58,960 --> 00:53:02,480
And then of course the game continued, Fiorantina kept trying to create chances,

1156
00:53:02,480 --> 00:53:07,920
Camarda came on, I in Mike, Magic Mike, the eagle, massive save at the end and then Jovic

1157
00:53:07,920 --> 00:53:10,400
got his first shot for Milan.

1158
00:53:10,400 --> 00:53:11,360
Congratulations to him.

1159
00:53:11,360 --> 00:53:11,920
Congratulations.

1160
00:53:11,920 --> 00:53:14,000
And that was pretty much the game.

1161
00:53:14,000 --> 00:53:16,880
After the game, Italiano was freaking furious.

1162
00:53:17,600 --> 00:53:25,040
He said, I don't know if it's talent, ferocity or determination, but we cannot go home without

1163
00:53:25,040 --> 00:53:30,000
scoring a goal and this was of course after all the chances that Fiorantina had against Milan.

1164
00:53:30,000 --> 00:53:32,080
They had an exegy of over two goals.

1165
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:32,800
Okay.

1166
00:53:33,360 --> 00:53:36,720
And you can look at Beltran's body language when he was substituted.

1167
00:53:36,720 --> 00:53:40,320
He had just missed his best chance in Serie A so far.

1168
00:53:40,320 --> 00:53:41,280
I think that ball.

1169
00:53:41,280 --> 00:53:42,080
Probably.

1170
00:53:42,080 --> 00:53:44,640
His first touch ruined it and Mike saved the day.

1171
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:50,640
What do you think it is, this problem with Fiorantina not being able to score in some

1172
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:54,160
games and not being able to serve as the strikers and the strikers always seem to be

1173
00:53:54,160 --> 00:53:59,680
misfiring? Is it a coincidence when you look at Cabral, Jovic, Inzola, Beltran, all these

1174
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:00,880
guys are misfiring?

1175
00:54:00,880 --> 00:54:05,200
I mean, it's the discontinuity up front.

1176
00:54:05,200 --> 00:54:08,880
You see up until two seasons ago, Pjontek was there.

1177
00:54:09,520 --> 00:54:11,600
Cabral was there.

1178
00:54:11,600 --> 00:54:15,760
Just before that, keep in mind just before that, Blaovic left in January.

1179
00:54:16,320 --> 00:54:22,400
Ever since then, it's like they haven't really given a striker a lot of time to get used to

1180
00:54:22,400 --> 00:54:26,320
the system and a lot of time to find their confidence and to make matters worse.

1181
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:31,680
In fact, this is why I was pleased with their signing of Inzola, but they sign from overseas

1182
00:54:31,680 --> 00:54:32,400
a lot.

1183
00:54:32,400 --> 00:54:34,720
So they're bringing in players like Beltran.

1184
00:54:34,720 --> 00:54:37,840
They're bringing in players like Cabral, these guys.

1185
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:42,560
And they need to, they brought in Pjontek who was overseas at that time.

1186
00:54:42,560 --> 00:54:47,040
We had to be honest, he had a short stint in Italy, Pjontek.

1187
00:54:47,040 --> 00:54:49,680
He had one year, almost two years.

1188
00:54:49,680 --> 00:54:52,800
And they never give them time to settle in.

1189
00:54:52,800 --> 00:54:57,680
Now, obviously, if their performances aren't up to par, then you're not going to give them time.

1190
00:54:58,480 --> 00:55:03,680
But now, in fact, they've got Beltran, they've got Inzola, and they could be patient with them.

1191
00:55:03,680 --> 00:55:05,680
Because they know they've got two players of high quality.

1192
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:07,680
I don't know about that.

1193
00:55:07,680 --> 00:55:10,080
I don't know about two players of high quality.

1194
00:55:10,080 --> 00:55:12,720
I'm sure Beltran is a high quality player.

1195
00:55:13,360 --> 00:55:15,360
His numbers at River Plate were very good.

1196
00:55:15,360 --> 00:55:19,840
And you can see flashes of technical excellence when it comes to him.

1197
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:22,880
I think Inzola was the wrong profile for Fiorentina to go for.

1198
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:24,880
For Fiorentina, potentially, yes.

1199
00:55:24,880 --> 00:55:27,280
But they have two different strikers, you know?

1200
00:55:27,280 --> 00:55:28,000
Yes, true.

1201
00:55:28,000 --> 00:55:29,840
They have two different strikers, granted.

1202
00:55:29,840 --> 00:55:32,560
But one of them is coming from South America.

1203
00:55:32,560 --> 00:55:36,320
He's going to need time to settle in, to European football, to Italian football.

1204
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:40,080
Until then, until he settles in, if this guy doesn't hit the ground,

1205
00:55:40,080 --> 00:55:41,680
Johnny, you're going to have to rely on Inzola.

1206
00:55:41,680 --> 00:55:42,560
And what is Inzola?

1207
00:55:42,560 --> 00:55:47,440
Inzola is a striker that thrives on a counter-attacking side

1208
00:55:47,440 --> 00:55:50,480
that requires him to hold up play while the midfielders advance.

1209
00:55:50,480 --> 00:55:51,760
Because that's what he is.

1210
00:55:51,760 --> 00:55:53,280
That's what he was at Spetia.

1211
00:55:53,280 --> 00:55:55,840
And that's what he, everything he did good,

1212
00:55:55,840 --> 00:55:58,960
everything that made people praise him, the few games he had,

1213
00:55:58,960 --> 00:56:00,560
where he scored and where he played well,

1214
00:56:00,560 --> 00:56:02,000
that's exactly what he was doing.

1215
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:03,520
He was holding up play in the middle.

1216
00:56:03,520 --> 00:56:04,720
No one could dispossess him.

1217
00:56:04,720 --> 00:56:08,080
He was waiting for the runners and servicing his teammates.

1218
00:56:08,080 --> 00:56:13,600
With Fiorentina, he's got a lot of waiting in the box.

1219
00:56:13,600 --> 00:56:15,120
It's going to take some settling,

1220
00:56:15,120 --> 00:56:18,240
because what you said first of him holding up play,

1221
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:20,400
feeding the players behind him, for example,

1222
00:56:20,960 --> 00:56:24,720
Nico Gonzalez, Bonaventura, Sotil.

1223
00:56:24,720 --> 00:56:28,880
But Fiorentina aren't often counter-attacking.

1224
00:56:28,880 --> 00:56:29,840
Not to the point.

1225
00:56:29,840 --> 00:56:33,680
Their style with Italiano is very heavily possession-based.

1226
00:56:33,680 --> 00:56:37,360
Yes, but if you have, for example, Girou at Milan,

1227
00:56:37,360 --> 00:56:38,960
who's great with his back towards goal,

1228
00:56:38,960 --> 00:56:43,120
no, I'm not comparing their technicality, naturally.

1229
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:46,640
But it's what in Zola can bring to Fiorentina.

1230
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:48,960
It's quite similar to what Girou can do at Milan,

1231
00:56:48,960 --> 00:56:51,600
in that sense, that he's got talented players behind him.

1232
00:56:51,600 --> 00:56:53,200
Now, whether they're playing counter-attacking,

1233
00:56:53,200 --> 00:56:55,280
or whether they're playing controlling football,

1234
00:56:55,280 --> 00:56:59,280
if they find the striker and the striker with his back towards goal,

1235
00:56:59,280 --> 00:57:04,080
finds one of the runs coming in from one of his teammates, Gonzalez,

1236
00:57:04,080 --> 00:57:08,960
Bonaventura, Sotil, again, quality players, it can work.

1237
00:57:08,960 --> 00:57:11,360
It's just in Zola, it's quite inconsistent.

1238
00:57:11,360 --> 00:57:12,160
That's it again.

1239
00:57:12,160 --> 00:57:14,080
And he was inconsistent at Spetia.

1240
00:57:14,080 --> 00:57:17,440
And I mean, I'll never forget his breakout season at Spetia,

1241
00:57:18,080 --> 00:57:21,680
where he was scoring in the first half of the season,

1242
00:57:21,680 --> 00:57:22,480
like a maniac.

1243
00:57:23,280 --> 00:57:25,040
January market comes along.

1244
00:57:25,040 --> 00:57:29,200
I splash all my credits on fantasy football to bring in in Zola,

1245
00:57:29,760 --> 00:57:33,120
and he didn't score a single goal in the second half of the season.

1246
00:57:33,120 --> 00:57:40,800
I'd react, but guys, you have no idea how many times I've heard that he's been sold.

1247
00:57:40,800 --> 00:57:43,040
I think I've said it on the spot cast before, actually.

1248
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:44,320
Alan and Andy would know.

1249
00:57:46,000 --> 00:57:51,040
Bro, there was a Luca on Twitter, is in our 0.5% list.

1250
00:57:51,040 --> 00:57:51,600
Yes, what a guy.

1251
00:57:51,600 --> 00:57:52,960
He must have listened to every episode.

1252
00:57:52,960 --> 00:57:54,000
Literally, literally.

1253
00:57:54,000 --> 00:57:55,920
And even Alan's listened to everything, even Andy.

1254
00:57:55,920 --> 00:58:02,880
I was seeing you've listened to like almost 5,000 minutes of me and you speaking throughout 2023.

1255
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:03,840
That's mental.

1256
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:04,960
Absolutely crazy.

1257
00:58:04,960 --> 00:58:07,520
One tactical observation I made about Milan, this game,

1258
00:58:07,520 --> 00:58:10,240
normally when it's Leo and Theo playing,

1259
00:58:10,240 --> 00:58:12,720
Leo attacks the byline and Theo cuts inside, right?

1260
00:58:13,280 --> 00:58:19,760
However, this time it was Pulisic cutting inside and Theo attacking the byline.

1261
00:58:20,480 --> 00:58:25,920
Yes, and there was finally also some cover for Theo when he was booming forward.

1262
00:58:25,920 --> 00:58:29,440
Pulisic's industry is something that will not be on their mind,

1263
00:58:29,440 --> 00:58:32,720
because he puts in a shift defensively as well, man.

1264
00:58:32,720 --> 00:58:33,920
Yeah, totally.

1265
00:58:33,920 --> 00:58:37,200
Purely admitted to having to defend deep in the second half.

1266
00:58:37,200 --> 00:58:39,520
He said that it was for three reasons, right?

1267
00:58:39,520 --> 00:58:42,320
The desire for three points, the current state of the squad,

1268
00:58:42,320 --> 00:58:44,720
and the fact that Milan hadn't won in four games.

1269
00:58:44,720 --> 00:58:49,280
He prioritized a pragmatic approach to get the victory, basically.

1270
00:58:49,280 --> 00:58:52,720
And one little clean sheet, very good for Milan over there.

1271
00:58:52,720 --> 00:58:54,080
Yeah, good win.

1272
00:58:54,080 --> 00:58:54,560
Good win.

1273
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:59,760
Yeah, I would also like to address, because it happened and you've probably seen it.

1274
00:58:59,760 --> 00:59:06,640
Milan lost to Dortmund in the Champions League 3-1, and they currently need to beat Newcastle

1275
00:59:06,640 --> 00:59:12,320
away from home, and Dortmund need to beat PSG at home for Milan to qualify for the Champions League.

1276
00:59:12,320 --> 00:59:14,240
And this is Matthew's favorite thing, right?

1277
00:59:14,240 --> 00:59:16,560
When I start saying, you know, this and this and this.

1278
00:59:16,560 --> 00:59:19,360
When it's out of our hands, I don't care anymore.

1279
00:59:20,320 --> 00:59:22,560
Because I'm not going to hope for America,

1280
00:59:22,560 --> 00:59:24,240
and say, because this is going to happen, this is going to happen.

1281
00:59:24,960 --> 00:59:26,560
Fuck this false hope.

1282
00:59:26,560 --> 00:59:28,000
Milan are out of the Champions League.

1283
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:29,760
Would you rather have them in third or fourth?

1284
00:59:29,760 --> 00:59:31,120
Jake, answer me now.

1285
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:34,400
Would you rather have Milan in the Europa League or no European competition?

1286
00:59:34,400 --> 00:59:35,920
Give me the Europa League, bro.

1287
00:59:35,920 --> 00:59:40,400
Thursday nights, are you up at nights?

1288
00:59:40,400 --> 00:59:44,080
It would be exciting, because when Ben-Assar is back,

1289
00:59:44,080 --> 00:59:48,080
and when Milan have got some of their flow back, and they've got the injured players back,

1290
00:59:48,080 --> 00:59:51,280
they can actually compete in the Europa League.

1291
00:59:51,280 --> 00:59:57,600
But after the start, I would not mind focusing on the league.

1292
00:59:57,600 --> 00:59:59,200
I would not mind that at all.

1293
00:59:59,200 --> 01:00:01,200
It's going terribly right now.

1294
01:00:01,200 --> 01:00:04,240
The injuries are absolutely fucking devastating.

1295
01:00:04,240 --> 01:00:04,960
They're relentless.

1296
01:00:04,960 --> 01:00:05,760
Chao is injured now.

1297
01:00:05,760 --> 01:00:07,920
Everyone's in crutches.

1298
01:00:07,920 --> 01:00:09,280
Like, it's fucked.

1299
01:00:09,280 --> 01:00:09,680
Everyone's going...

1300
01:00:09,680 --> 01:00:11,840
Prudish was playing center back against goal.

1301
01:00:11,840 --> 01:00:15,200
Chaka Traore was brought on as our solution on the wing.

1302
01:00:15,200 --> 01:00:17,920
And you're 15-year-old in this game, Jake.

1303
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:20,240
The 15-year-old playing.

1304
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:22,640
It's...

1305
01:00:23,600 --> 01:00:24,080
Ridic.

1306
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:25,600
You don't...

1307
01:00:25,600 --> 01:00:26,800
It's really bad.

1308
01:00:26,800 --> 01:00:29,360
And I don't know, but something needs to be done about it, man.

1309
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:33,760
Someone needs to be questioned, because this amount of injuries is not normal.

1310
01:00:33,760 --> 01:00:39,680
And it's not like Milan play a super high, high-gagging press kind of system,

1311
01:00:39,680 --> 01:00:41,680
like Liverpool used to do, or like Atalanta used to do,

1312
01:00:41,680 --> 01:00:43,440
when they would rotate their entire team.

1313
01:00:43,440 --> 01:00:43,840
It's fucked.

1314
01:00:43,840 --> 01:00:48,800
This is a possession-based system, and that's meant to be not too strenuous on the body,

1315
01:00:48,800 --> 01:00:50,400
but whatever.

1316
01:00:50,960 --> 01:00:52,880
They have to figure it out, because it's bad.

1317
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:54,320
It's bad, and it's dangerous, man.

1318
01:00:54,320 --> 01:00:56,480
Players should be scared to come to play for Milan.

1319
01:00:56,480 --> 01:00:58,160
But good win against Fiorentina.

1320
01:00:58,160 --> 01:00:59,120
Good win against Fiorentina.

1321
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:00,240
Full flow Fiorentina.

1322
01:01:00,240 --> 01:01:00,640
Yes.

1323
01:01:00,640 --> 01:01:02,800
Milan decimated, but they managed to get three points.

1324
01:01:02,800 --> 01:01:03,920
A very mature victory.

1325
01:01:05,040 --> 01:01:09,040
Milan are in third with 26 points, while Fiorentina are in eighth with 20 points.

1326
01:01:09,600 --> 01:01:11,760
Fak Roma, Fak Lazio.

1327
01:01:11,760 --> 01:01:13,520
We're going to do Empoli Sassuolo now.

1328
01:01:15,200 --> 01:01:16,160
How can we not?

1329
01:01:16,160 --> 01:01:17,760
Empoli 3, Sassuolo 4.

1330
01:01:17,760 --> 01:01:19,760
I'm surprised we didn't put this game first.

1331
01:01:20,480 --> 01:01:25,040
The Tuskens were fresh off of a shock victory away to Napoli,

1332
01:01:25,040 --> 01:01:28,240
but still missing Baldanzi and Petzella.

1333
01:01:28,240 --> 01:01:32,880
Sassuolo started with Tordsvet, a track-war artist ahead of Bayrami who was on the bench,

1334
01:01:32,880 --> 01:01:37,840
and the Narovari were without a win in six rounds coming into this game.

1335
01:01:38,640 --> 01:01:42,720
To open the scoring, it was Ciccio Caputo through a penalty kick, which was one

1336
01:01:43,680 --> 01:01:46,960
following Viti Clumsily bringing down Cambiagi.

1337
01:01:47,520 --> 01:01:49,920
Caputo scores against his former team.

1338
01:01:50,720 --> 01:01:54,640
Just eight minutes later, Pina Monti headed in a Lauriente cross

1339
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:57,120
to bring things level for Sassuolo.

1340
01:01:57,120 --> 01:01:59,040
Goal against the X, once again.

1341
01:02:00,400 --> 01:02:06,400
Sassuolo went one up in the 21st minute after a Henrique header after a good cross by Toljian.

1342
01:02:06,400 --> 01:02:09,760
It's good to see Henrique scoring after he had been injured for so long.

1343
01:02:10,480 --> 01:02:15,680
Fazzini equalised on the half-hour mark, think it's 2-2 after 30 minutes.

1344
01:02:15,680 --> 01:02:17,680
Fazzini equalised on the half-hour mark,

1345
01:02:17,680 --> 01:02:20,880
slotting in well to the bottom corner from just outside the area,

1346
01:02:20,880 --> 01:02:22,800
leaving Concili rooted to the spot.

1347
01:02:22,800 --> 01:02:26,240
A lot of defensive clusterfucks leading up to that moment as well,

1348
01:02:26,240 --> 01:02:28,560
if I'm going to be completely blunt and honest.

1349
01:02:29,840 --> 01:02:33,520
And then Sassuolo regained the lead through a berairi penalty,

1350
01:02:33,520 --> 01:02:35,200
where he sent Berisha the wrong way.

1351
01:02:36,400 --> 01:02:39,680
The penalty was given away by Cantrilari on Toljian.

1352
01:02:40,400 --> 01:02:44,800
Moments later in the 80th minute, because now we're in the second half, by the way, guys.

1353
01:02:44,800 --> 01:02:48,960
Berairi almost gave Sassuolo a cushion, a two-goal advantage in the 80th minute,

1354
01:02:48,960 --> 01:02:53,600
as he did this wicked shot cross from distance, which hit the far post.

1355
01:02:53,600 --> 01:02:55,200
It would have been a spectacular goal.

1356
01:02:56,160 --> 01:03:02,000
In the 85th, Empoli got the equaliser, making it 3-3 after some confusion and mayhem,

1357
01:03:02,000 --> 01:03:03,520
where Giasi hit the crossbar.

1358
01:03:04,880 --> 01:03:09,520
And Kovalenko took a strike, he rebounded it into the back of the net,

1359
01:03:09,520 --> 01:03:13,360
but it was helped over the line by Sassuolo defender, of course, Vynja.

1360
01:03:13,360 --> 01:03:18,800
Even when they just always need to score an own goal, Sassuolo.

1361
01:03:18,800 --> 01:03:20,480
Like, this was going in, it just...

1362
01:03:21,680 --> 01:03:22,720
Can't sit in.

1363
01:03:22,720 --> 01:03:24,640
It must be their initiation or something.

1364
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:26,480
Hey, hey, you have to score an own goal.

1365
01:03:28,320 --> 01:03:31,520
Some people think it was Kovalenko's goal, I think it was an own goal,

1366
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:32,480
and that's how it went down.

1367
01:03:32,480 --> 01:03:37,200
Keep in mind, Kovalenko was the guy that scored the winner against Napoli a couple of weeks ago.

1368
01:03:37,200 --> 01:03:40,400
And then in the 91st minute, Berairi got the second of the night,

1369
01:03:40,400 --> 01:03:44,800
and he got the winner for Sassuolo, making it 4-3 as his volley at the far post

1370
01:03:44,800 --> 01:03:48,400
on his weaker right foot, deflected in off Libby Kakacce.

1371
01:03:48,400 --> 01:03:52,080
The cross was provided by Vynja, who redeemed himself for the own goal.

1372
01:03:54,720 --> 01:04:00,960
This was a game, I mean, in football, there are chess games,

1373
01:04:01,520 --> 01:04:06,480
where you look at, for example, I don't even want to use Juventa as an example,

1374
01:04:06,480 --> 01:04:13,360
because they were a bit almost laxidaisical with their performance, almost just fear.

1375
01:04:13,360 --> 01:04:16,880
But there are chess matches, low scoring chess matches.

1376
01:04:16,880 --> 01:04:20,720
If you look at Mila Njuva 2003 Champions League final,

1377
01:04:20,720 --> 01:04:23,440
one of the most entertaining nil-nils you'll ever see.

1378
01:04:23,440 --> 01:04:26,560
Okay, there were some great saves, some good dribbles and this and that,

1379
01:04:26,560 --> 01:04:30,160
a lot of iconic moments, but a true midfield battle.

1380
01:04:30,160 --> 01:04:35,040
And that, to me, is entertaining as fuck, even if there are no goals.

1381
01:04:35,040 --> 01:04:40,080
That is the Floyd Mayweather, for every Floyd Mayweather, and then there's Mike Tyson.

1382
01:04:40,080 --> 01:04:42,160
And Mike Tyson, that comes out swinging,

1383
01:04:42,160 --> 01:04:44,480
bro, if you're gonna hit me, fuck it, I'm gonna hit you back.

1384
01:04:44,480 --> 01:04:46,000
My style's impregnable.

1385
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:48,720
My view is impetribute.

1386
01:04:50,480 --> 01:04:51,680
Breathe be to Allah.

1387
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:56,800
Bro, there's no one like Mike Tyson.

1388
01:04:56,800 --> 01:04:59,120
No, bro, what are you talking about?

1389
01:04:59,120 --> 01:04:59,920
There's no one like you.

1390
01:04:59,920 --> 01:05:01,200
No one, and now.

1391
01:05:01,200 --> 01:05:02,560
Fuck you in your ass, boy.

1392
01:05:02,560 --> 01:05:03,400
Why?

1393
01:05:04,800 --> 01:05:05,840
Fuck you till you love me.

1394
01:05:06,800 --> 01:05:07,280
Bleep.

1395
01:05:09,600 --> 01:05:10,560
Now he's got to shit.

1396
01:05:10,560 --> 01:05:11,440
Still chill.

1397
01:05:11,440 --> 01:05:13,520
Now he's on podcasts, eating mushrooms.

1398
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:15,120
Like, I want to hug him.

1399
01:05:15,120 --> 01:05:18,080
Like, you know what, I mean, this guy's bitten someone's fucking ear off.

1400
01:05:18,080 --> 01:05:18,720
Like, but whatever.

1401
01:05:18,720 --> 01:05:20,640
But he said he was deeply insecure back then.

1402
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:20,800
Yeah.

1403
01:05:21,920 --> 01:05:23,920
This was a boxing match.

1404
01:05:23,920 --> 01:05:30,400
This was two Tysons, the two Tysons of Syria in Ebu El-Sassuolo.

1405
01:05:30,400 --> 01:05:31,440
Go eating each other.

1406
01:05:31,440 --> 01:05:33,040
Just beating the shit out of each other.

1407
01:05:33,040 --> 01:05:36,000
Just not looking at their defensive duties at all.

1408
01:05:36,000 --> 01:05:38,160
Everyone going forward was an entire cluster.

1409
01:05:38,160 --> 01:05:38,560
And fucking.

1410
01:05:39,360 --> 01:05:42,560
This is the kind of game that noobs enjoy.

1411
01:05:42,560 --> 01:05:46,320
That noobs say wow, football is actually a beautiful sport.

1412
01:05:46,320 --> 01:05:50,800
Yeah, I mean, lapses in defensive concentration

1413
01:05:50,800 --> 01:05:54,160
combined with high intensity pressing,

1414
01:05:54,160 --> 01:05:55,760
because that's what these two teams do.

1415
01:05:55,760 --> 01:05:58,320
Now when you look at Kambiagi, Kanchile, Kaputa,

1416
01:05:58,320 --> 01:05:59,200
they're going to press you.

1417
01:05:59,200 --> 01:06:01,760
You know, particularly the two Cs on the wing.

1418
01:06:02,960 --> 01:06:04,800
Sassuolo a high intensity side as well.

1419
01:06:05,360 --> 01:06:06,560
Maybe not as much the season,

1420
01:06:06,560 --> 01:06:09,280
but they do have the ability to press their opponent.

1421
01:06:09,280 --> 01:06:13,680
And many errors were forced and it led to this incredible shootout

1422
01:06:13,680 --> 01:06:15,040
at three o'clock on a Saturday.

1423
01:06:15,840 --> 01:06:18,080
Yeah, and pretty much what you said.

1424
01:06:18,080 --> 01:06:22,000
So it's not a surprise to see Sassuolo score a lot of goals,

1425
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:24,560
particularly against a side like Empoli.

1426
01:06:24,560 --> 01:06:28,000
But I do think it was despite their defensive woes.

1427
01:06:28,000 --> 01:06:32,560
I think it's good to see Empoli being so free flowing

1428
01:06:32,560 --> 01:06:35,360
and taking a game like this on the chin

1429
01:06:35,360 --> 01:06:37,920
and getting three goals in this game.

1430
01:06:37,920 --> 01:06:40,240
Because if you look earlier on in the season,

1431
01:06:40,240 --> 01:06:42,240
they hadn't scored a single goal, bro.

1432
01:06:42,240 --> 01:06:45,440
And like they're opening five, six matches, I believe.

1433
01:06:45,440 --> 01:06:47,280
So really, really good to see.

1434
01:06:47,280 --> 01:06:50,400
I mean, and you know, there was, okay,

1435
01:06:50,400 --> 01:06:53,520
one of them was a non-goal, but Fazzini getting a good goal.

1436
01:06:54,720 --> 01:06:56,560
Kaputa scoring from the spot.

1437
01:06:56,560 --> 01:06:59,840
They were opportunistic in this game.

1438
01:06:59,840 --> 01:07:02,400
Yes, and they massively outscored their ex-G as well,

1439
01:07:02,400 --> 01:07:04,320
which was 1.41.

1440
01:07:04,320 --> 01:07:06,720
Both teams actually massively outscored their ex-G.

1441
01:07:06,720 --> 01:07:09,440
Sassuolo with an ex-G of 2.36,

1442
01:07:09,440 --> 01:07:11,360
if you care about that statistic person.

1443
01:07:11,360 --> 01:07:12,400
I like that statistic.

1444
01:07:12,400 --> 01:07:12,720
Yeah, I think.

1445
01:07:12,720 --> 01:07:13,520
I like ex-G.

1446
01:07:13,520 --> 01:07:14,320
Uh-huh.

1447
01:07:14,320 --> 01:07:15,360
It's always interesting.

1448
01:07:15,360 --> 01:07:17,040
Wow, I was going to say Gen Z.

1449
01:07:17,040 --> 01:07:18,240
Gen Z said.

1450
01:07:18,240 --> 01:07:20,560
But it does suck when you score three goals

1451
01:07:20,560 --> 01:07:22,720
and you get absolutely no points.

1452
01:07:22,720 --> 01:07:26,960
But of course, who other than Dominico Barardi

1453
01:07:26,960 --> 01:07:29,680
to win it for Sassuolo in the 91st minute?

1454
01:07:30,320 --> 01:07:31,600
What a player, what a hero.

1455
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:34,560
He's honestly at this point, we're talking Toto Dinatal.

1456
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:36,400
Yeah, see, I do.

1457
01:07:37,200 --> 01:07:38,080
Here's my question.

1458
01:07:38,080 --> 01:07:38,400
Yeah.

1459
01:07:39,280 --> 01:07:41,760
Is he going to try for us this way out in January?

1460
01:07:41,760 --> 01:07:43,440
Or is he going to wait till the end of the season?

1461
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:44,400
I don't know.

1462
01:07:44,400 --> 01:07:46,000
He's already tried to force his way out.

1463
01:07:47,040 --> 01:07:47,440
You know, I mean.

1464
01:07:47,440 --> 01:07:49,920
Do you have a last summer for those of you that don't know?

1465
01:07:49,920 --> 01:07:54,320
No. I don't think he'll try to do it again mid-season.

1466
01:07:54,320 --> 01:07:57,600
I think he's too professional for that.

1467
01:07:57,600 --> 01:08:00,320
It's one thing if you try to force yourself your way out

1468
01:08:00,320 --> 01:08:02,880
in the summer and it doesn't quite go to plan

1469
01:08:02,880 --> 01:08:05,520
and you miss the first game or two of the season.

1470
01:08:05,520 --> 01:08:07,200
Like, it's not ideal for your captain.

1471
01:08:07,200 --> 01:08:10,000
But he has definitely been a soldier for them.

1472
01:08:10,000 --> 01:08:11,920
And I think maybe it is time for them to let them

1473
01:08:11,920 --> 01:08:13,120
spread his wings elsewhere.

1474
01:08:14,160 --> 01:08:15,840
But I don't think he's the type to do it

1475
01:08:15,840 --> 01:08:16,880
halfway through the season.

1476
01:08:16,880 --> 01:08:19,280
I might be mistaken, but we'll see.

1477
01:08:19,280 --> 01:08:21,440
Yeah, some people surprise me.

1478
01:08:22,320 --> 01:08:24,720
I want to highlight Fazzini and Tom because of his goal,

1479
01:08:24,720 --> 01:08:26,960
but also because of his industry throughout this match,

1480
01:08:26,960 --> 01:08:28,480
who was attacking, who was defending here,

1481
01:08:28,480 --> 01:08:29,920
the good performance over here.

1482
01:08:31,040 --> 01:08:31,920
You like Baloka?

1483
01:08:32,480 --> 01:08:33,520
I like Baloka.

1484
01:08:33,520 --> 01:08:34,800
I like Baloka.

1485
01:08:34,800 --> 01:08:36,080
He's a good little player.

1486
01:08:37,520 --> 01:08:39,040
Country Larry.

1487
01:08:39,040 --> 01:08:39,680
I haven't.

1488
01:08:40,640 --> 01:08:42,640
He used to excite me, Country Larry,

1489
01:08:42,640 --> 01:08:44,960
when he used to feature for Verona

1490
01:08:44,960 --> 01:08:46,800
and when he used to feature for Lazio.

1491
01:08:46,800 --> 01:08:49,600
He has picked up a little bit with Andrea Zoli.

1492
01:08:49,600 --> 01:08:51,920
And you can see what he's all about.

1493
01:08:51,920 --> 01:08:53,280
He doesn't do it consistently.

1494
01:08:53,280 --> 01:08:55,280
He definitely doesn't do it every game.

1495
01:08:55,280 --> 01:08:59,440
But he's quite a powerhouse when he gets driving.

1496
01:08:59,440 --> 01:09:05,280
Like, he's very hard to dispossess once he gains momentum.

1497
01:09:05,280 --> 01:09:06,160
That's what he is.

1498
01:09:06,160 --> 01:09:07,120
Yeah, that's true.

1499
01:09:07,120 --> 01:09:09,200
And he's quite nifty as well.

1500
01:09:09,200 --> 01:09:10,480
His quick feet, too.

1501
01:09:12,080 --> 01:09:14,800
I think you highlighted Baloka as well.

1502
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:15,600
You highlighted him.

1503
01:09:15,600 --> 01:09:16,800
You asked me if I like him.

1504
01:09:16,800 --> 01:09:17,600
I do like him.

1505
01:09:18,720 --> 01:09:26,880
And also, like Henrique, I think losing Maxim Lopez is devastating.

1506
01:09:26,880 --> 01:09:29,200
Devastating, because he was everything for this team.

1507
01:09:29,200 --> 01:09:30,160
He was the metronome.

1508
01:09:31,360 --> 01:09:34,400
So it's not easy to cope without him.

1509
01:09:34,400 --> 01:09:36,800
Am I saying these guys are perfect

1510
01:09:36,800 --> 01:09:39,520
and they're bringing the balance back so on and so forth?

1511
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:42,800
No, but they're showing hints of promise.

1512
01:09:42,800 --> 01:09:43,840
Let's put it that way.

1513
01:09:43,840 --> 01:09:47,040
They're two good players.

1514
01:09:47,040 --> 01:09:49,520
Henrique and Baloka is what I'm trying to say.

1515
01:09:50,400 --> 01:09:54,000
That's enough from my end about this game.

1516
01:09:54,000 --> 01:09:56,080
I think this is a game you watch the highlights

1517
01:09:56,080 --> 01:09:59,280
and you've watched the majority of the game,

1518
01:09:59,280 --> 01:10:02,480
considering you could probably find 90-minute-long highlights

1519
01:10:02,480 --> 01:10:07,760
of all the goals and chances that they're wearing this game.

1520
01:10:07,760 --> 01:10:11,760
Sassuolo find themselves in 14th on 15 points,

1521
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:15,680
while Empoli still in the relegation zone in 18th place

1522
01:10:15,680 --> 01:10:19,200
on 10 points, however level with Kaliari who are in 17th.

1523
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:21,360
Fantastic, bro.

1524
01:10:21,360 --> 01:10:24,080
Which means we should probably move on to Salernitana

1525
01:10:24,080 --> 01:10:24,720
lots here, right?

1526
01:10:24,720 --> 01:10:25,200
Yes, sir.

1527
01:10:27,200 --> 01:10:31,280
Se qualele squadra del mi cuore.

1528
01:10:32,160 --> 01:10:36,000
Si che lo so e la Salernitana.

1529
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:37,280
That's a nice little try.

1530
01:10:37,280 --> 01:10:37,680
That they have.

1531
01:10:37,680 --> 01:10:38,880
There, I need to go see them.

1532
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:42,400
They can't put a foot wrong Salernitana.

1533
01:10:42,400 --> 01:10:44,080
When it comes to these chants,

1534
01:10:44,080 --> 01:10:47,920
like the Bulleye idea won, the T4s and this and that.

1535
01:10:48,960 --> 01:10:50,240
Fuck me, they're lost.

1536
01:10:50,240 --> 01:10:51,680
I hate how they're lost.

1537
01:10:51,680 --> 01:10:53,600
That's my least favorite thing in the world.

1538
01:10:53,600 --> 01:10:55,280
This year we go up and we see them, bro.

1539
01:10:55,280 --> 01:10:57,040
We have to go up and watch them in Salerno.

1540
01:10:57,040 --> 01:10:58,240
We make a trip out.

1541
01:10:58,240 --> 01:11:01,120
Let's wait to see how the season progresses

1542
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,600
because if we could watch them in a fucking relegation

1543
01:11:03,600 --> 01:11:05,600
this side there, bro, at home.

1544
01:11:06,240 --> 01:11:06,880
That would be great.

1545
01:11:06,880 --> 01:11:08,800
Yeah, but we have to make that happen.

1546
01:11:08,800 --> 01:11:10,800
So for this game against Lazio,

1547
01:11:12,000 --> 01:11:15,520
Philippe Ponzaghi's men were missing Ochoa

1548
01:11:15,520 --> 01:11:18,240
and Bulleye idea, two of their best players.

1549
01:11:18,240 --> 01:11:20,160
They're probably two best players, right?

1550
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:20,400
Yeah.

1551
01:11:21,040 --> 01:11:24,560
Costil and Iquemese stepped in instead of them.

1552
01:11:24,560 --> 01:11:26,960
Costil, of course, is a 36-year-old goalkeeper

1553
01:11:26,960 --> 01:11:27,840
who looks like Giroux.

1554
01:11:28,720 --> 01:11:30,960
Iquemese is the 22-year-old Nigerian

1555
01:11:30,960 --> 01:11:33,600
who's scored against Sampdoria and the four in El Coppa Italia.

1556
01:11:34,480 --> 01:11:36,640
I was a bit pissed that we didn't see Simi

1557
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:37,760
in Salerno.

1558
01:11:37,760 --> 01:11:38,720
We saw Simi, bro.

1559
01:11:38,720 --> 01:11:41,680
We saw Simi while you were in Australia,

1560
01:11:41,680 --> 01:11:43,680
I believe it was the matchday before this one.

1561
01:11:44,320 --> 01:11:45,280
He came on.

1562
01:11:45,280 --> 01:11:46,160
Rub it in, bro.

1563
01:11:47,520 --> 01:11:51,280
Bro, he came on and he was absolutely dreadful.

1564
01:11:51,280 --> 01:11:51,760
Really?

1565
01:11:51,760 --> 01:11:53,600
Bro, nothing went his way.

1566
01:11:53,600 --> 01:11:56,320
He was terrible and it was so sad to watch

1567
01:11:56,320 --> 01:11:58,080
because he couldn't control a single ball.

1568
01:11:59,760 --> 01:12:00,960
He looked out of place.

1569
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:02,320
He's one of those players, bro,

1570
01:12:02,320 --> 01:12:05,120
that when he has a bad game he looks terrible.

1571
01:12:05,120 --> 01:12:07,200
He looks like he never played football before.

1572
01:12:07,200 --> 01:12:08,320
You know what I mean?

1573
01:12:08,320 --> 01:12:09,760
Fact, because of his statuette.

1574
01:12:09,760 --> 01:12:11,920
That was a big fan of him from Serie B.

1575
01:12:11,920 --> 01:12:12,240
Yes.

1576
01:12:12,240 --> 01:12:12,880
Right?

1577
01:12:12,880 --> 01:12:14,880
And you see him, he's kind of a poacher

1578
01:12:14,880 --> 01:12:16,800
and in that league he thrived.

1579
01:12:17,680 --> 01:12:19,200
When he came to Serie A with Crotone,

1580
01:12:19,200 --> 01:12:20,160
I was telling everyone like,

1581
01:12:20,160 --> 01:12:21,760
Simi and Wanko, Simi and Wanko.

1582
01:12:21,760 --> 01:12:23,440
I took him on fantasy football

1583
01:12:23,440 --> 01:12:26,400
and in the first half of the season he was terrible.

1584
01:12:26,400 --> 01:12:28,400
He scored a few penalties because his penalties are very good.

1585
01:12:28,400 --> 01:12:30,320
He does a slow run-up and everything.

1586
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:31,600
But he was terrible.

1587
01:12:31,600 --> 01:12:33,120
I let go of him in January.

1588
01:12:33,920 --> 01:12:34,800
Here we go again.

1589
01:12:34,800 --> 01:12:36,560
You and the EU's fucking out of those.

1590
01:12:36,560 --> 01:12:39,040
I let go of him in January, brought him in Zola,

1591
01:12:39,040 --> 01:12:40,400
Simi scored 20 goals.

1592
01:12:40,400 --> 01:12:41,600
That's his different Crotone.

1593
01:12:41,600 --> 01:12:44,000
One of the highest scoring Africans in Serie A.

1594
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:45,600
Yeah, top three.

1595
01:12:45,600 --> 01:12:46,400
Yeah, whatever.

1596
01:12:47,920 --> 01:12:51,440
Roman Ueli and Sjassale were out for Lazio

1597
01:12:51,440 --> 01:12:53,520
with Gila and Patrick stepping in.

1598
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:55,440
Fun fact about Gila and Patrick,

1599
01:12:56,160 --> 01:12:58,720
Gila's Patrick's second best friend behind SpongeBob.

1600
01:12:58,720 --> 01:13:05,520
Gila is a 23-year-old former Real Madrid player.

1601
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:06,880
Well, Patrick, we all know Patrick,

1602
01:13:06,880 --> 01:13:08,320
is a former Barcelona player.

1603
01:13:08,320 --> 01:13:12,640
So these are two ex-rivers coming together.

1604
01:13:12,640 --> 01:13:16,480
Luis Alberto, of course, was suspended for this one.

1605
01:13:16,480 --> 01:13:18,320
So they lined up with a metri-

1606
01:13:18,320 --> 01:13:19,120
So they lost.

1607
01:13:19,120 --> 01:13:20,320
Exactly.

1608
01:13:20,320 --> 01:13:22,400
Guendouzi, Cataldi and Camada.

1609
01:13:22,400 --> 01:13:26,480
And before, Sarri had said that it's a shame that Camada

1610
01:13:26,480 --> 01:13:28,000
and Luis Alberto are so similar

1611
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,760
because they can't actually play together.

1612
01:13:29,760 --> 01:13:31,920
So this was a good opportunity against Salah and Netana

1613
01:13:31,920 --> 01:13:33,680
for Camada to show what he's all about

1614
01:13:33,680 --> 01:13:36,240
and to show, like, listen, I'm playing in my position now.

1615
01:13:36,240 --> 01:13:38,720
I'm the offensive outlet right now.

1616
01:13:38,720 --> 01:13:40,160
I'm the midfield playmaker.

1617
01:13:40,160 --> 01:13:41,440
It's all about me, this game.

1618
01:13:42,080 --> 01:13:43,760
Well, Sarri said all that.

1619
01:13:43,760 --> 01:13:44,320
Sarri said that.

1620
01:13:44,320 --> 01:13:46,720
Surprised he didn't have an asthma attack.

1621
01:13:46,720 --> 01:13:49,040
Sarri just said that they can't play together, basically.

1622
01:13:49,040 --> 01:13:50,320
The rest was actually me.

1623
01:13:51,280 --> 01:13:51,520
No.

1624
01:13:52,960 --> 01:13:54,960
Con Drea van de Mobila were the first

1625
01:13:54,960 --> 01:13:58,400
captains of this matchday to grab the mic

1626
01:13:58,400 --> 01:14:00,960
and speak out against domestic violence.

1627
01:14:02,080 --> 01:14:03,120
It was very windy.

1628
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:05,760
Guendouzi's hair was going mental.

1629
01:14:05,760 --> 01:14:08,080
You can tell it's windy by looking at Guendouzi.

1630
01:14:08,080 --> 01:14:09,360
So how's the weather outside?

1631
01:14:09,360 --> 01:14:11,200
Everyone needs a Guendouzi out in their back.

1632
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:13,120
Take a look at a lot of windy.

1633
01:14:13,120 --> 01:14:15,520
I said, yeah, east winds today.

1634
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:18,160
Guendouzi is your index finger when you suck it

1635
01:14:18,160 --> 01:14:19,680
and put it out of the window to see

1636
01:14:19,680 --> 01:14:20,960
where the wind is coming from.

1637
01:14:20,960 --> 01:14:21,680
Exactly.

1638
01:14:21,680 --> 01:14:21,920
Yeah.

1639
01:14:22,880 --> 01:14:24,720
I think he's also Sysho Bob.

1640
01:14:24,720 --> 01:14:26,560
He is Sysho Bob from The Simpsons.

1641
01:14:26,560 --> 01:14:28,880
Salernitana grew into the game 15 minutes

1642
01:14:28,880 --> 01:14:30,880
and they were exposing the gap between the defense

1643
01:14:30,880 --> 01:14:34,160
and the midfield, particularly at the edge of the box.

1644
01:14:34,160 --> 01:14:34,400
Lots.

1645
01:14:34,400 --> 01:14:37,120
You took about 28 minutes to come to life this game.

1646
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,040
Salernitana still looked more dangerous.

1647
01:14:39,040 --> 01:14:41,840
However, the standout performers for me this game

1648
01:14:41,840 --> 01:14:43,840
were Con Drea van and Bohinen.

1649
01:14:43,840 --> 01:14:45,520
For me, Bohinen was so good.

1650
01:14:45,520 --> 01:14:48,000
I had never seen him play like this man before

1651
01:14:48,000 --> 01:14:49,040
for Salernitana.

1652
01:14:49,040 --> 01:14:49,600
Super game.

1653
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:54,240
Gombar had a very mixed half, the first half,

1654
01:14:54,240 --> 01:14:56,320
especially at a great interception.

1655
01:14:56,320 --> 01:14:58,240
But then he gave away a penalty really badly,

1656
01:14:59,440 --> 01:15:02,960
which was, of course, converted by Chiro Immobile.

1657
01:15:02,960 --> 01:15:07,440
And then he got a yellow card in the 42nd minute

1658
01:15:07,440 --> 01:15:10,080
and shortly after deserved the second yellow.

1659
01:15:10,080 --> 01:15:11,520
Like it was a clear second yellow,

1660
01:15:11,520 --> 01:15:12,800
but I think the rem didn't give it

1661
01:15:12,800 --> 01:15:14,960
because he had just booked him for the yellow,

1662
01:15:14,960 --> 01:15:16,080
which should never be the case.

1663
01:15:16,080 --> 01:15:18,640
If it's a second yellow, it should totally be a second yellow.

1664
01:15:18,640 --> 01:15:20,000
But he somehow got away with it.

1665
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:23,120
He rushed the player so stupidly for someone who had just been

1666
01:15:23,120 --> 01:15:24,320
in the back of the game.

1667
01:15:24,320 --> 01:15:25,360
It was so stupid.

1668
01:15:25,360 --> 01:15:26,560
Yeah.

1669
01:15:26,560 --> 01:15:30,320
That had pissed off a couple of lots of fans.

1670
01:15:30,320 --> 01:15:33,920
That's devastating because if you won the Lop

1671
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:38,400
and Salernitana, your opponents were dead last in the league,

1672
01:15:38,400 --> 01:15:39,840
I've got a red card.

1673
01:15:39,840 --> 01:15:40,800
Job done.

1674
01:15:40,800 --> 01:15:41,520
Job done, bro.

1675
01:15:41,520 --> 01:15:42,080
Job done.

1676
01:15:42,080 --> 01:15:42,880
Yeah.

1677
01:15:42,880 --> 01:15:47,040
Immobile, to his credit, timed his run to perfection.

1678
01:15:47,040 --> 01:15:49,760
To win the penalty and ice cold, finished great work by him

1679
01:15:49,760 --> 01:15:51,920
in general, was very impressed by him

1680
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:53,360
of the bench against Celtic as well,

1681
01:15:53,360 --> 01:15:56,880
scoring two goals in the Champions League to shoot

1682
01:15:56,880 --> 01:15:59,200
Lazio up their group table.

1683
01:15:59,200 --> 01:16:00,880
They're looking good now to qualify.

1684
01:16:02,240 --> 01:16:06,240
Castanos scored the man from Cyprus in the 55th minute.

1685
01:16:06,240 --> 01:16:08,480
Borrena was very good in the build-up play.

1686
01:16:08,480 --> 01:16:10,400
And eventually he was there to tap at home.

1687
01:16:10,400 --> 01:16:13,520
What was funny is seeing Nzagi watching this goal take place

1688
01:16:13,520 --> 01:16:15,040
and he couldn't help himself but kick.

1689
01:16:15,040 --> 01:16:17,440
You know, when the ball was loose, he's seeing Nzagi kicking.

1690
01:16:17,440 --> 01:16:19,120
Like his instincts are still there.

1691
01:16:19,120 --> 01:16:20,640
You know, he wanted to score that goal.

1692
01:16:20,640 --> 01:16:24,960
In the 61st, Zakanie, who was in doubt for this game,

1693
01:16:24,960 --> 01:16:26,800
went off injured, poor him.

1694
01:16:26,800 --> 01:16:29,840
And then in the 66th minute it happened.

1695
01:16:29,840 --> 01:16:31,040
There was a free kick.

1696
01:16:31,040 --> 01:16:33,840
It was played to Kondreva who took a shot.

1697
01:16:33,840 --> 01:16:35,200
Two players were charging.

1698
01:16:35,840 --> 01:16:38,480
He shot between them from out of the area.

1699
01:16:38,480 --> 01:16:42,240
The ball was just swerving and curling centrally

1700
01:16:42,240 --> 01:16:44,160
but spinning, you know, like where the hell is he gonna go

1701
01:16:44,160 --> 01:16:47,040
when the rocket's way into the back of the net.

1702
01:16:47,040 --> 01:16:48,720
So that was a role of the lex goal,

1703
01:16:48,720 --> 01:16:50,160
so he didn't quite celebrate.

1704
01:16:50,160 --> 01:16:52,160
He loves a goal against Latvia.

1705
01:16:52,160 --> 01:16:55,600
He scored that banger at the Olympics last year as well.

1706
01:16:55,600 --> 01:16:56,880
He loves a goal against big clubs,

1707
01:16:56,880 --> 01:16:58,160
especially the Milan clubs as well.

1708
01:16:58,160 --> 01:17:00,880
He scored that goal against Inter where it was across.

1709
01:17:00,880 --> 01:17:03,760
Like he scored against Milan for Inter

1710
01:17:03,760 --> 01:17:06,640
in front of my very eyes, that game that Souza scored too good.

1711
01:17:06,640 --> 01:17:07,280
Yeah.

1712
01:17:07,280 --> 01:17:07,680
But yeah.

1713
01:17:08,480 --> 01:17:11,440
He set up a group chat for all of his exes, Kondreva.

1714
01:17:11,440 --> 01:17:12,320
Very big goal, man.

1715
01:17:12,320 --> 01:17:13,520
All right, look at me now.

1716
01:17:15,040 --> 01:17:16,880
Another stoner for his collection,

1717
01:17:16,880 --> 01:17:18,160
Pravidel, bro.

1718
01:17:18,160 --> 01:17:18,960
Was it his fault?

1719
01:17:18,960 --> 01:17:19,680
What?

1720
01:17:19,680 --> 01:17:23,520
You're saying, I think Pravidel had a shaky performance

1721
01:17:24,800 --> 01:17:26,160
even against Celtic.

1722
01:17:26,160 --> 01:17:27,760
He didn't see too much of the ball

1723
01:17:27,760 --> 01:17:29,920
and then he scuffed a few back passes.

1724
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:31,440
He was shit with the ball at his feet

1725
01:17:31,440 --> 01:17:33,280
and he didn't come on to his area

1726
01:17:33,280 --> 01:17:35,760
as he did when he was confident,

1727
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:38,080
when he scored that last minute goal in the Champions League,

1728
01:17:38,080 --> 01:17:38,720
the sandat.

1729
01:17:41,200 --> 01:17:42,880
I wouldn't say the goal was his fault

1730
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:45,200
if I'm being completely honest.

1731
01:17:45,200 --> 01:17:47,680
I know, I think you think otherwise.

1732
01:17:47,680 --> 01:17:49,040
I don't know if I would think it's his fault, bro.

1733
01:17:49,040 --> 01:17:52,720
Because the sheer power and the amount,

1734
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:57,440
few times do you see a ball move so frequently

1735
01:17:57,440 --> 01:18:02,560
and so obviously at such power and speed, man.

1736
01:18:02,560 --> 01:18:03,280
And wind.

1737
01:18:03,280 --> 01:18:04,800
And the wind as well.

1738
01:18:04,800 --> 01:18:05,920
It's fucked.

1739
01:18:05,920 --> 01:18:08,000
Keep in mind, he'll have a couple of players

1740
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:09,440
blocking his vision as well.

1741
01:18:09,440 --> 01:18:13,520
Pravidel, that's a tough, tough ball to save, man.

1742
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:18,160
It's, I do think there is, the great goalkeepers

1743
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:21,200
would save that, potentially.

1744
01:18:21,200 --> 01:18:23,360
But it's tough to save, man.

1745
01:18:23,360 --> 01:18:25,360
Yeah, it's perhaps a forgivable error.

1746
01:18:26,560 --> 01:18:30,000
Matzoki, Matzoki reminded me of our mother this game.

1747
01:18:30,560 --> 01:18:31,520
In what sense?

1748
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:35,040
At one point, I think he thought that the throw-in was his,

1749
01:18:35,040 --> 01:18:36,400
but it was given the other way.

1750
01:18:37,040 --> 01:18:38,720
And he got his hand in a fist.

1751
01:18:39,280 --> 01:18:42,240
And he bit his index finger, his big finger.

1752
01:18:42,240 --> 01:18:45,120
And looking at the referee, his big finger.

1753
01:18:45,120 --> 01:18:46,640
Did they go up to the lines, man?

1754
01:18:46,640 --> 01:18:47,680
Show him the bite mark?

1755
01:18:47,680 --> 01:18:49,520
So I had to go, look what you did to me.

1756
01:18:52,800 --> 01:18:54,880
That definitely reminded me of mama.

1757
01:18:56,560 --> 01:18:57,680
Shout out to mama.

1758
01:18:58,400 --> 01:18:59,440
Look, the,

1759
01:18:59,440 --> 01:19:00,640
And papa, we're doing.

1760
01:19:00,640 --> 01:19:01,680
Let's just shout out to mama.

1761
01:19:01,680 --> 01:19:02,960
Mama, dad, love.

1762
01:19:02,960 --> 01:19:05,840
The ex-UG for Salernetana's 1.75,

1763
01:19:05,840 --> 01:19:09,440
while Lotz's was 1.98, so it was quite a tight affair.

1764
01:19:09,440 --> 01:19:13,280
Lotz dominated the ball position 62% over there.

1765
01:19:13,280 --> 01:19:15,200
Lotito did say at the end of this game,

1766
01:19:15,200 --> 01:19:17,760
that I can't believe it, we just lost to Candreva.

1767
01:19:17,760 --> 01:19:19,280
We lost 11 against Candreva.

1768
01:19:19,280 --> 01:19:20,320
That's what Lotito said.

1769
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:21,920
Not quite fair.

1770
01:19:22,720 --> 01:19:22,880
Not at all.

1771
01:19:22,880 --> 01:19:24,480
When you look at the statistics,

1772
01:19:24,480 --> 01:19:25,760
other than the possession stats,

1773
01:19:25,760 --> 01:19:27,200
they were totally on par.

1774
01:19:27,200 --> 01:19:29,920
In fact, there were four saves made by Providell

1775
01:19:29,920 --> 01:19:32,560
and one save only made by Costil.

1776
01:19:33,920 --> 01:19:35,920
Wow, wow, big precedent is sad.

1777
01:19:35,920 --> 01:19:36,400
Wow, wow.

1778
01:19:36,400 --> 01:19:38,240
You look at Patrick, this game,

1779
01:19:38,240 --> 01:19:40,720
he didn't win a single aerial or grounded duel.

1780
01:19:40,720 --> 01:19:45,040
That just goes to show where one of the problems was this game.

1781
01:19:45,040 --> 01:19:47,280
It's probably living under a rock on there.

1782
01:19:47,280 --> 01:19:48,240
The sea doesn't help.

1783
01:19:49,040 --> 01:19:51,040
Lots, Lotz has managed,

1784
01:19:51,040 --> 01:19:53,360
where Sargi after this game said,

1785
01:19:54,080 --> 01:19:58,240
In the next few days, I will analyze what's gone wrong.

1786
01:19:58,880 --> 01:20:01,680
If it's my fault, I will leave.

1787
01:20:01,680 --> 01:20:03,280
Like, guess what?

1788
01:20:04,080 --> 01:20:05,120
It's not his fault, man.

1789
01:20:05,120 --> 01:20:05,760
He's still there.

1790
01:20:05,760 --> 01:20:07,120
He's still there, so it's not his fault.

1791
01:20:07,120 --> 01:20:09,440
So this is over the next few days.

1792
01:20:09,440 --> 01:20:13,200
A few days have passed now, so he's fine.

1793
01:20:14,160 --> 01:20:16,240
I don't know if he's lost the dressing room, to be honest.

1794
01:20:16,240 --> 01:20:18,720
That might be a bit of a scary thing,

1795
01:20:18,720 --> 01:20:20,320
because you look at every time the players,

1796
01:20:20,320 --> 01:20:21,440
the Lotz players are going into,

1797
01:20:21,440 --> 01:20:22,960
half time are going into the dressing room.

1798
01:20:22,960 --> 01:20:24,640
Everyone's arguing already from the get-go.

1799
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:26,720
You see, there are quite a few feisty characters,

1800
01:20:26,720 --> 01:20:28,480
Granted and Luis Alberto over there.

1801
01:20:28,480 --> 01:20:33,040
They have many players of Spanish descent as well.

1802
01:20:33,040 --> 01:20:34,960
They like to yap a bit.

1803
01:20:34,960 --> 01:20:37,520
Now, that can be good and bad,

1804
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:40,960
the arguing, not the pointing fingers,

1805
01:20:40,960 --> 01:20:44,480
but the heated discussions going into the dressing room,

1806
01:20:44,480 --> 01:20:48,960
that could showcase a winning mentality

1807
01:20:48,960 --> 01:20:51,440
and the desire to win.

1808
01:20:53,440 --> 01:20:58,800
Think of the Roy Keane's, think about the Patrick Vieiras,

1809
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:01,920
think about the Claude Macalelys and all of these.

1810
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:05,120
They're maybe not Macalely, they wasn't very argumentative,

1811
01:21:05,120 --> 01:21:08,720
but these are the kind of players that are at the forefront,

1812
01:21:09,760 --> 01:21:14,720
shouting, commanding, trying to get the best out of their teammates.

1813
01:21:14,720 --> 01:21:19,360
But, and then there's the Bruno Fernandez type,

1814
01:21:20,080 --> 01:21:22,800
there's the Luis Alberto type,

1815
01:21:22,800 --> 01:21:26,320
there's the Who's That Fucking Balonia player, Moro.

1816
01:21:26,320 --> 01:21:27,600
There's the Moro type.

1817
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:33,360
These are the guys, they don't command, they bitch and they flail.

1818
01:21:33,360 --> 01:21:34,080
They whine.

1819
01:21:34,080 --> 01:21:36,400
They whine, you know what I mean?

1820
01:21:36,400 --> 01:21:37,920
And I just wonder what it's like

1821
01:21:37,920 --> 01:21:40,080
when they actually do get into the dressing room,

1822
01:21:40,080 --> 01:21:45,600
like is Luis Alberto constantly challenging Sarri, for example?

1823
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:50,160
I'm sorry, but Mattias on the group chat just messaged us,

1824
01:21:50,160 --> 01:21:52,800
we're missing the football obviously, Champions League night,

1825
01:21:52,800 --> 01:21:57,680
João Mario Hattrick in less than 40 minutes against Inter.

1826
01:21:57,680 --> 01:22:02,240
João Mario Hattrick in less than 40 minutes against Inter.

1827
01:22:02,240 --> 01:22:03,520
I might get that tattooed.

1828
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:05,680
How much are Inter?

1829
01:22:05,680 --> 01:22:09,840
Inter are losing 3-0 to Benfica, there's the rotation.

1830
01:22:11,760 --> 01:22:13,680
Let's read their lineup, quickly.

1831
01:22:13,680 --> 01:22:17,520
So they have Audair, Archery, Bidevry, Bissec, Carlos Augusto,

1832
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:20,400
Klasen, Aslani, Fratesi, Darmian, Sanchez, Arnav,

1833
01:22:20,400 --> 01:22:24,000
3-0 down to Benfica, but they afford.

1834
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:26,320
Bellingham has done it again against Napoli,

1835
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:28,320
Real are leading 2-1 at the moment,

1836
01:22:28,320 --> 01:22:30,240
Simeone scored, Mr. Champions League.

1837
01:22:30,240 --> 01:22:31,520
No, Mr. Champions League, there we go.

1838
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:32,960
Oh, Brian Diaz with an assist.

1839
01:22:32,960 --> 01:22:34,000
Way!

1840
01:22:34,000 --> 01:22:36,560
And Rodrigo's goal, but anyway, back to it.

1841
01:22:36,560 --> 01:22:39,040
Back to the topic, I think I forgot it now.

1842
01:22:39,040 --> 01:22:39,680
We're worried.

1843
01:22:40,960 --> 01:22:43,840
We're saying about Sarri losing the dressing room.

1844
01:22:43,840 --> 01:22:45,920
Yes, I'm not sure if that's the case,

1845
01:22:45,920 --> 01:22:50,000
it's always difficult to tell unless you're watching the team very closely

1846
01:22:50,000 --> 01:22:52,000
and you're in and around them during training.

1847
01:22:53,840 --> 01:22:56,960
But yeah, it's definitely not looking good for lots.

1848
01:22:56,960 --> 01:22:58,560
You want something definitely isn't ticking,

1849
01:22:58,560 --> 01:23:02,240
it's difficult to put your finger on what the problem is.

1850
01:23:02,240 --> 01:23:03,920
I don't know if it's an individual thing.

1851
01:23:03,920 --> 01:23:06,320
I think collectively there's a lack of confidence,

1852
01:23:06,320 --> 01:23:08,880
there's a lack of understanding,

1853
01:23:08,880 --> 01:23:11,520
and quite frankly, there's a lack of quality in that midfield.

1854
01:23:11,520 --> 01:23:13,840
When you look at Luis Alberto playing there,

1855
01:23:13,840 --> 01:23:16,800
it's all going through him, everything runs,

1856
01:23:16,800 --> 01:23:18,480
everything ticks through Luis Alberto.

1857
01:23:18,480 --> 01:23:21,600
He wasn't there this game and they really struggled.

1858
01:23:21,600 --> 01:23:23,120
Zacani wasn't great,

1859
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:25,280
Felipe Anderson was isolated,

1860
01:23:25,280 --> 01:23:26,640
and Mbolo was isolated,

1861
01:23:26,640 --> 01:23:29,680
Kamada, Katal, Liguendo, he didn't quite get ticking,

1862
01:23:29,680 --> 01:23:32,400
Mara Sifci and Lazzari a little bit behind as well.

1863
01:23:32,960 --> 01:23:34,960
It wasn't a great showing for them at all.

1864
01:23:34,960 --> 01:23:37,040
Remember, this is still season one of them,

1865
01:23:37,040 --> 01:23:38,800
life without Sergei.

1866
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:42,000
That's still very prominent.

1867
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:46,000
Yeah, that's an all-round midfielder with the world class back then.

1868
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:49,600
Yeah. But yes, when you look at the table,

1869
01:23:49,600 --> 01:23:54,720
you will see that Lazzio are in 11th and with 17 points,

1870
01:23:54,720 --> 01:23:57,680
while Salernitana are in 20th with 8 points.

1871
01:23:57,680 --> 01:24:00,160
But don't get it twisted, there are only two points of safety.

1872
01:24:00,160 --> 01:24:01,280
It's quite tight down there.

1873
01:24:01,280 --> 01:24:03,120
Yeah, thank you, Siri.

1874
01:24:04,080 --> 01:24:08,800
Next game we're going to be covering is Roma 3-Odineza 1.

1875
01:24:08,800 --> 01:24:13,040
Dijal Lorossi finally had Lorenzo Pellegrini back in the start in 11th.

1876
01:24:13,040 --> 01:24:14,080
Woohoo!

1877
01:24:14,080 --> 01:24:19,040
Well, remember when Mourinho said that he should see 11 Pellegrini?

1878
01:24:19,040 --> 01:24:20,560
Yeah, that would be good.

1879
01:24:20,560 --> 01:24:22,880
That would have an entire team injured for this season.

1880
01:24:23,920 --> 01:24:26,880
But they had Jonato Sanchez out, they had Chris Smalling out,

1881
01:24:26,880 --> 01:24:30,560
they had Tamiye Abraham out, and they had Mara Kumbola out.

1882
01:24:30,560 --> 01:24:32,960
Who would have thought they're all injury prone,

1883
01:24:32,960 --> 01:24:35,120
like literally all of our injury prone players?

1884
01:24:35,120 --> 01:24:37,200
Actually, the ball has fit, which is crazy.

1885
01:24:38,480 --> 01:24:41,440
The Fulani had an even longer ups in T-list,

1886
01:24:41,440 --> 01:24:49,920
including Pereira, Delafoe, Ezeboe, Davis, Brenner, Enzo Ibossi, Semedo, and Christensen.

1887
01:24:49,920 --> 01:24:54,560
But in their last two games, they had beaten Milan and held Atalanta to kind of

1888
01:24:54,560 --> 01:24:56,640
turn things around a little bit to Dineza.

1889
01:24:57,680 --> 01:25:00,800
But in this game, Roma opened the scoring in the 20th minute

1890
01:25:00,800 --> 01:25:05,280
after Mancini headed in and in swinging the Bala free kick, 1-0.

1891
01:25:06,080 --> 01:25:10,480
The inevitable header that Mancini scores every season, he gets a couple of them.

1892
01:25:10,480 --> 01:25:16,400
Odineza equalised in the 57th as Tuvan headed in at the far post following a beautiful cross

1893
01:25:16,400 --> 01:25:20,880
by Pajero, where Rui Patri, so I was kind of unsure whether to come with or not,

1894
01:25:20,880 --> 01:25:25,760
Tuvan did one of my least favourite celebrations where he gets really close to the camera,

1895
01:25:25,760 --> 01:25:29,200
blows a kiss, and then speaks to the camera like he's addressing someone.

1896
01:25:30,160 --> 01:25:33,600
I really don't want to see that, like who are you talking to, it bugs me.

1897
01:25:33,600 --> 01:25:34,400
Can't hear you, bro.

1898
01:25:34,400 --> 01:25:35,600
Yeah, like stop.

1899
01:25:35,600 --> 01:25:42,000
A beautiful and quick passage of play led to the Bala finishing cleanly in the final third

1900
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:47,360
after being set up by a clever Lukaku touch following some beautiful one touch play,

1901
01:25:47,360 --> 01:25:52,640
making it 2-1 for Roma, and then Elsharao, we sealed the deal in the 19th minute after a

1902
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:56,320
trademark finish into the far corner, making it 3-1.

1903
01:25:56,320 --> 01:26:03,440
I just want to say, I just want to say that in my other Fanta, in our other Fanta,

1904
01:26:03,440 --> 01:26:09,440
I had Mancini and Elsharao on the bench, as well as Milan Juric.

1905
01:26:09,440 --> 01:26:10,800
Wow, bro, doesn't know ball.

1906
01:26:10,800 --> 01:26:14,000
I don't know ball, I just choose the best players.

1907
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:17,920
On the other hand, I want four bets this weekend, four out of five.

1908
01:26:19,280 --> 01:26:20,960
You should give Fajoli some tips.

1909
01:26:24,560 --> 01:26:25,200
Harsh, harsh.

1910
01:26:25,200 --> 01:26:26,640
He still has his kneecaps.

1911
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:33,440
Maybe he could finally pay back Dragosin.

1912
01:26:36,320 --> 01:26:37,120
And someone else.

1913
01:26:37,760 --> 01:26:40,240
Who was the two, he borrowed 50k.

1914
01:26:40,240 --> 01:26:42,000
Dragosin and...

1915
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:43,520
Oh god, he will go.

1916
01:26:43,520 --> 01:26:44,000
He will go.

1917
01:26:45,360 --> 01:26:50,320
I don't know, but we'll remember like in like 15 minutes left, I will randomly scream it, don't

1918
01:26:50,320 --> 01:26:57,840
worry. Tactical adjustments in this match for Roma, Morinio made strategic substitutions,

1919
01:26:57,840 --> 01:27:04,400
bringing in Bov and adjusting the formation to a 3-4-3, which proved effective in turning

1920
01:27:04,400 --> 01:27:06,240
the game in Roma's favour.

1921
01:27:07,840 --> 01:27:14,480
And actually, Roma, one thing they do have at their arsenal is pace nowadays, since they've got

1922
01:27:15,200 --> 01:27:19,680
the ball and they're starting 11 and they've also got players like Elsharao,

1923
01:27:19,680 --> 01:27:20,880
that they can bring on as well.

1924
01:27:20,880 --> 01:27:27,440
They've got Spinazzola, they've got Karsdorp, they've got a fair bit of pace in their side

1925
01:27:27,440 --> 01:27:32,080
and changing it to a 3-4-3, putting Lukaku upfront, flanked by the ball and Elsharao.

1926
01:27:32,800 --> 01:27:35,520
A good little plan B for them to have in their arsenal.

1927
01:27:36,560 --> 01:27:38,240
They've climbed up to fifth, man.

1928
01:27:38,240 --> 01:27:39,680
They're doing very well.

1929
01:27:39,680 --> 01:27:41,440
Now slowly, slowly, sneaky, sneaky.

1930
01:27:43,280 --> 01:27:45,200
That tends to happen with Roma.

1931
01:27:45,200 --> 01:27:49,920
Even last year they were being sneaky, but then they had to ditch that abort mission to focus

1932
01:27:49,920 --> 01:27:50,880
on the Europa League.

1933
01:27:50,880 --> 01:27:54,960
But there seemed to be this optimism at the Olimpico.

1934
01:27:54,960 --> 01:28:02,800
Like even when they conceded the equaliser, the fans, they were still behind the players,

1935
01:28:02,800 --> 01:28:07,200
they were still chanting, the Olimpico was still totally alive.

1936
01:28:07,200 --> 01:28:11,280
There seems to be this belief that the squad can actually do something this season.

1937
01:28:11,840 --> 01:28:13,440
Do you think they can do something this season?

1938
01:28:13,440 --> 01:28:14,880
I think they can.

1939
01:28:16,480 --> 01:28:20,320
Roma have weapons at their arsenal.

1940
01:28:20,960 --> 01:28:23,120
They're good from dead-ball situations.

1941
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:27,600
They've got Lukaku and the ball at that together and fully fit.

1942
01:28:27,600 --> 01:28:28,880
They can do a lot of damage.

1943
01:28:30,720 --> 01:28:37,680
Their midfield isn't crazy and it's an ever-changing list of players rotating with each other.

1944
01:28:37,680 --> 01:28:43,920
But Morinio tends to get the best out of these kind of players.

1945
01:28:43,920 --> 01:28:48,080
He needs them to be savages, he needs them to be calm and he needs them to be killers.

1946
01:28:48,080 --> 01:28:51,440
And he tends to create this kind of players.

1947
01:28:51,440 --> 01:28:57,280
So overall, I think Roma can do something, especially without Ibanez in there.

1948
01:28:57,280 --> 01:28:58,480
Yeah, very good.

1949
01:28:58,480 --> 01:28:59,920
Very good point.

1950
01:28:59,920 --> 01:29:03,600
Did you hear what Morinio said about this team when they're away from home?

1951
01:29:03,600 --> 01:29:09,200
No. He said that he's coached teams in the past that away from home were like a group of bandits

1952
01:29:09,200 --> 01:29:12,800
who wanted to go into foreign lands and conquer essentially.

1953
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:18,720
Whereas now he's coaching a team who apparently when they play away from home,

1954
01:29:18,720 --> 01:29:20,480
just miss their grandma's cooking.

1955
01:29:21,920 --> 01:29:22,720
That's what he said.

1956
01:29:23,760 --> 01:29:24,880
This guy's unhinged.

1957
01:29:24,880 --> 01:29:30,320
But yeah, I think Roma are definitely getting their shit together.

1958
01:29:30,320 --> 01:29:36,960
They still have that super useful ability of scoring goals from set pieces.

1959
01:29:36,960 --> 01:29:38,480
And they seem to do it every game.

1960
01:29:39,200 --> 01:29:42,160
And other than that, they show that they can score great goals from open players,

1961
01:29:42,160 --> 01:29:46,080
well, such as case in point, the Balas goal over here.

1962
01:29:46,080 --> 01:29:48,960
Absolutely fantastic link up play and then El-Sharawi's goal,

1963
01:29:49,760 --> 01:29:53,840
first time perfectly into the corner, vintage El-Sharawi.

1964
01:29:53,840 --> 01:29:58,560
Just showing us they have many avenues that they can score from.

1965
01:29:58,560 --> 01:30:04,400
Yeah, I think with Dunez, I had a decent performance over here as well to give them their flowers

1966
01:30:04,400 --> 01:30:08,480
because they are looking better than they were at the start of the season.

1967
01:30:10,240 --> 01:30:17,440
They seemed to struggle more when coping with Lukaku and Debala

1968
01:30:18,240 --> 01:30:20,880
than playing football against Roma.

1969
01:30:20,880 --> 01:30:29,440
It's the attack that essentially won Roma the game because yes, Roma had 12 shots,

1970
01:30:31,200 --> 01:30:35,040
five were on target and they had 64% ball possession.

1971
01:30:35,040 --> 01:30:38,080
A lot of the time, Roma being Roma, they were playing the ball around.

1972
01:30:39,200 --> 01:30:42,160
And Dunez, they weren't impatient with it.

1973
01:30:42,160 --> 01:30:46,320
They kept their shape and then they managed to get a goal to get the equalizer.

1974
01:30:46,320 --> 01:30:53,520
But then that's when personnel and having star players makes a difference for you because

1975
01:30:53,520 --> 01:30:59,200
Debala and Lukaku can flip the switch, they link up together so, so well.

1976
01:30:59,200 --> 01:31:04,400
Man, Lukaku really understands the assignment with Roma and Debala,

1977
01:31:04,400 --> 01:31:06,240
he doesn't need to understand the assignment.

1978
01:31:06,240 --> 01:31:10,560
He's so fucking talented that you put him wherever you put him.

1979
01:31:10,560 --> 01:31:13,040
And I think he's going to perform to a certain extent.

1980
01:31:13,040 --> 01:31:15,360
Having Lukaku by his side helps.

1981
01:31:15,360 --> 01:31:16,720
Of course, yes, very true.

1982
01:31:17,520 --> 01:31:20,400
Roma are in fifth now on 21 points, guys.

1983
01:31:20,400 --> 01:31:24,800
There's just three points behind Napoli and just five points behind Milan.

1984
01:31:24,800 --> 01:31:27,360
So they really are lurking.

1985
01:31:27,360 --> 01:31:32,240
Udineso on the other hand, 16th place on 11 points out of the relegation zone.

1986
01:31:33,120 --> 01:31:36,080
So I'll just do Bologna Torino now as well.

1987
01:31:36,080 --> 01:31:42,880
It was Bologna 2, Torino, Nyl Salamakar started ahead of the doubtful or Solini for Bologna,

1988
01:31:42,880 --> 01:31:43,760
as he was in doubt.

1989
01:31:43,760 --> 01:31:48,480
And young Fabian got his first start of the season ahead of Froyler.

1990
01:31:49,040 --> 01:31:53,760
Shores and Richie were out for Torino, replaced by Lazaro and Linnetti.

1991
01:31:53,760 --> 01:31:57,680
Vania was also benched by Yuric, replaced by Gemello.

1992
01:31:59,040 --> 01:32:03,040
The coaching staff said that this was a simple technical choice,

1993
01:32:04,000 --> 01:32:09,920
prompted by a perceived drop in the Serbian goalkeeper's performances during training.

1994
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:13,200
We're talking about practice.

1995
01:32:13,200 --> 01:32:14,160
We're talking practice.

1996
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:16,160
We're talking about practice.

1997
01:32:17,280 --> 01:32:24,080
But anyway, in minute one Fabian went for a goal, really setting the tone for what was a

1998
01:32:24,080 --> 01:32:27,600
memorable performance for him in his first Serie A start.

1999
01:32:28,480 --> 01:32:31,520
Vlasic netted a bullet from distance in the 17th minute.

2000
01:32:31,520 --> 01:32:34,560
This would have been up there with some of the great goals.

2001
01:32:34,560 --> 01:32:42,400
It would have been alongside Malinovsky and Kandrevas.

2002
01:32:42,400 --> 01:32:46,720
But Vark controversially ruled it out as Zapata was an offside position,

2003
01:32:46,720 --> 01:32:48,720
impeding Gemello's vision.

2004
01:32:49,520 --> 01:32:51,520
I thought this was harsh at first.

2005
01:32:52,400 --> 01:32:57,520
And I thought that there was no way that that goal shouldn't stand.

2006
01:32:57,520 --> 01:33:01,760
And that the velocity that the ball was hit, that struck with,

2007
01:33:01,760 --> 01:33:04,560
wouldn't have made a difference if the goalkeeper saw it or not.

2008
01:33:04,560 --> 01:33:06,560
And I was talking to David about it.

2009
01:33:06,560 --> 01:33:07,040
The poet.

2010
01:33:07,040 --> 01:33:07,600
Yes, David.

2011
01:33:07,600 --> 01:33:08,880
What we call another poet.

2012
01:33:08,880 --> 01:33:10,080
He's the best.

2013
01:33:10,080 --> 01:33:10,800
Shout out David.

2014
01:33:10,800 --> 01:33:11,760
David.

2015
01:33:11,760 --> 01:33:12,880
On Instagram about it.

2016
01:33:12,880 --> 01:33:17,040
And we were agreeing that it was ridiculous.

2017
01:33:17,040 --> 01:33:22,160
However, I have revisited the images and I was talking to a friend of mine.

2018
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:24,240
Zapata, the Italian coach.

2019
01:33:24,240 --> 01:33:25,040
Duck, bro.

2020
01:33:25,040 --> 01:33:28,560
Zapata runs into the keeper's view.

2021
01:33:29,120 --> 01:33:31,280
He's totally blocking him.

2022
01:33:31,280 --> 01:33:34,400
And there's another player in an offside position impeding his view as well.

2023
01:33:35,920 --> 01:33:38,480
It's the rule.

2024
01:33:38,480 --> 01:33:42,880
You know, and if we're going to be consistent over here, then that needs to be cancelled.

2025
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:49,280
I'm not sure I like the rule that the goalkeeper's vision is being blocked by a player in an

2026
01:33:49,280 --> 01:33:50,000
offside position.

2027
01:33:50,000 --> 01:33:50,960
Then you cancel the goal.

2028
01:33:50,960 --> 01:33:54,880
I'm not sure how I feel about it because there's a lot of room for fine margins.

2029
01:33:54,880 --> 01:33:58,080
Like maybe this one or I'm sure there have been.

2030
01:33:58,080 --> 01:34:00,720
Yeah, but what happens when you start making exceptions, man?

2031
01:34:00,720 --> 01:34:00,800
That's it.

2032
01:34:00,800 --> 01:34:01,040
That's it.

2033
01:34:01,040 --> 01:34:04,080
You get all the arguments in the VAR room.

2034
01:34:04,080 --> 01:34:06,480
You get all the pundits.

2035
01:34:06,480 --> 01:34:10,000
You get all the pundits talking shit about this decision.

2036
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:14,880
They create this atmosphere against the game and against the rules of the game.

2037
01:34:14,880 --> 01:34:16,320
This is consistent, man.

2038
01:34:16,320 --> 01:34:18,880
Yes, it was a great goal.

2039
01:34:18,880 --> 01:34:20,240
Bullfucking who, man?

2040
01:34:20,240 --> 01:34:22,560
He was in the way.

2041
01:34:22,560 --> 01:34:27,280
He was in the way and he should essentially know better at this point.

2042
01:34:27,280 --> 01:34:31,200
I'm still pissed off about that Kessie, the Jiru offside.

2043
01:34:31,200 --> 01:34:31,360
He was on the floor.

2044
01:34:31,360 --> 01:34:33,920
Kessie's goal against Napoli two years ago.

2045
01:34:33,920 --> 01:34:36,160
I haven't stopped thinking about it, man.

2046
01:34:36,160 --> 01:34:36,720
He was offside.

2047
01:34:36,720 --> 01:34:41,360
He really wasn't impeding his vision, but it's the rule and they need to be consistent.

2048
01:34:41,360 --> 01:34:43,040
This is where they put their foot down.

2049
01:34:43,040 --> 01:34:44,240
Would have been a great goal, though.

2050
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:50,640
Zapata for Skorupski to a good save late in the first half as Bologna struggled to threaten

2051
01:34:50,640 --> 01:34:54,480
due to some great man marking by Buon Giorno on Xerxes.

2052
01:34:54,480 --> 01:34:57,920
That was a beautiful battle between those two, brother.

2053
01:34:57,920 --> 01:35:03,600
You've got Xerxes being all slick on the one Buon Giorno, just aggressive on his ass, strong,

2054
01:35:03,600 --> 01:35:05,280
not giving him neutralizing him well.

2055
01:35:05,280 --> 01:35:06,000
Yes, bro.

2056
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:07,360
Yes, that's the very end.

2057
01:35:07,360 --> 01:35:09,760
That's fucking Buon Giorno for you, man.

2058
01:35:10,400 --> 01:35:13,440
However, in the Bologna, I managed to open the scoring through Fabian.

2059
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:19,280
You remember how Vanya wasn't doing well in training and how they should start someone

2060
01:35:19,280 --> 01:35:20,160
called Gemello?

2061
01:35:21,280 --> 01:35:22,080
Gemello?

2062
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:28,240
I've honestly never seen such a bad decision made by a goalkeeper, honestly.

2063
01:35:28,240 --> 01:35:37,040
Because there was a through ball played by Beukema to Fabian.

2064
01:35:37,920 --> 01:35:40,480
A through ball almost at the feet of Fabian.

2065
01:35:40,480 --> 01:35:43,280
Fabian had to make three, four steps to get the ball.

2066
01:35:43,280 --> 01:35:44,400
With the defensive line around him.

2067
01:35:44,400 --> 01:35:46,080
With the defensive line around him.

2068
01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:48,640
Gemello was like, I can get this one.

2069
01:35:49,760 --> 01:35:52,000
And he sprints out of his box, bro.

2070
01:35:53,360 --> 01:35:55,520
I'm not even saying a bit out of his box.

2071
01:35:55,520 --> 01:36:01,360
He went halfway to the halfway line, like halfway to the half between the box and halfway

2072
01:36:01,360 --> 01:36:02,640
to try and get it.

2073
01:36:02,640 --> 01:36:04,320
Bless him, he got attached to it.

2074
01:36:04,320 --> 01:36:10,800
But Fabian managed to keep hold of it and he tapped it into the empty net.

2075
01:36:10,800 --> 01:36:13,440
Terrible, terrible decision making by Gemello.

2076
01:36:13,440 --> 01:36:16,480
He was obviously new and 23.

2077
01:36:16,480 --> 01:36:20,640
He's young, so much to learn, but not a good sign at all.

2078
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:23,680
Because decision making is essential.

2079
01:36:23,680 --> 01:36:25,840
But that can be improved, to be honest.

2080
01:36:25,840 --> 01:36:30,720
And with experience, now he'll know not to rush when the ball is...

2081
01:36:30,720 --> 01:36:33,280
But imagine, imagine, he did touch the ball first.

2082
01:36:33,280 --> 01:36:34,560
Imagine he cleared it out of the way.

2083
01:36:34,560 --> 01:36:38,240
He would be saying, wow, what a brave goalkeeper, the new Neuer sweeper keeper.

2084
01:36:38,240 --> 01:36:39,840
No way, bro, no way.

2085
01:36:39,840 --> 01:36:43,120
Like if you see the ball was at his feet, I don't rush out like that.

2086
01:36:43,120 --> 01:36:44,400
Honestly, it was bizarre.

2087
01:36:44,400 --> 01:36:45,600
I can't believe he ran out.

2088
01:36:45,600 --> 01:36:46,720
His defenders were there.

2089
01:36:46,720 --> 01:36:47,920
Like why are you rushing out?

2090
01:36:47,920 --> 01:36:49,120
The fact is, everyone looking at the ball.

2091
01:36:49,120 --> 01:36:50,720
It was crazy, man.

2092
01:36:50,720 --> 01:36:51,600
It was crazy.

2093
01:36:51,600 --> 01:36:53,840
Then it was a whole lot of Torino doing nothing.

2094
01:36:53,840 --> 01:37:00,400
And then it was Torino trying, but Bologna, such a unit, man.

2095
01:37:00,400 --> 01:37:02,560
Such a unit, Thiago Mottasmen.

2096
01:37:02,560 --> 01:37:05,840
And then as Torino were kind of looking to push,

2097
01:37:05,840 --> 01:37:11,440
there was a long ball over the top by Lico Giannis after gaining possession.

2098
01:37:11,440 --> 01:37:14,480
To Zergse, who was clean through on goal.

2099
01:37:14,480 --> 01:37:17,440
Zergse being Zergse, he's like, let me let this guy catch up to me.

2100
01:37:17,440 --> 01:37:20,000
Guy catches up to him, skips past him.

2101
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:23,600
Skips past him and slots it into the bottom near corner.

2102
01:37:23,600 --> 01:37:26,800
So calm, so smooth, so sexy, man.

2103
01:37:26,800 --> 01:37:28,560
He's ruled out originally.

2104
01:37:28,560 --> 01:37:30,560
Originally ruled out for offside.

2105
01:37:30,560 --> 01:37:32,560
What did I tell you when they ruled it out?

2106
01:37:32,560 --> 01:37:33,360
He's on.

2107
01:37:33,360 --> 01:37:34,080
He's on.

2108
01:37:34,080 --> 01:37:35,360
Guess what?

2109
01:37:35,360 --> 01:37:37,360
He was obviously on.

2110
01:37:37,360 --> 01:37:39,040
Like, no chance.

2111
01:37:39,040 --> 01:37:39,920
No chance.

2112
01:37:39,920 --> 01:37:40,800
No chance.

2113
01:37:40,800 --> 01:37:43,360
He was like, you guys can't see this.

2114
01:37:43,360 --> 01:37:45,120
But he was like this much onside.

2115
01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:47,200
He bent his run to perfection, bro.

2116
01:37:47,200 --> 01:37:47,920
So good.

2117
01:37:47,920 --> 01:37:52,400
Zergse, you ever saw the clip where him is that empty goal for Bayern Munich?

2118
01:37:52,400 --> 01:37:54,000
He dribbled past the keeper.

2119
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:56,960
He was going to let this one roll in.

2120
01:37:56,960 --> 01:37:58,400
I don't need to touch it again.

2121
01:37:58,400 --> 01:38:01,520
Guy comes sliding out of nowhere, embarrassing stuff.

2122
01:38:01,520 --> 01:38:04,560
I saw it on TikTok recently and the comments were saying,

2123
01:38:04,560 --> 01:38:08,160
haha, what a joke this player is at Zergse, at Zergse.

2124
01:38:08,160 --> 01:38:09,360
Look at them now.

2125
01:38:09,360 --> 01:38:13,040
They have no idea that he's making grown men look like children.

2126
01:38:13,040 --> 01:38:13,840
Yeah.

2127
01:38:13,840 --> 01:38:18,800
I mean, the first talking point was the disallowed goal.

2128
01:38:18,800 --> 01:38:21,760
But I guess we've already discussed that.

2129
01:38:21,760 --> 01:38:26,560
Bologna's current form, three wins and four, and they're in sixth.

2130
01:38:26,560 --> 01:38:29,120
Yep, they are absolutely brilliant at the moment.

2131
01:38:29,120 --> 01:38:34,880
And I do think they can keep it up as long as Zergse doesn't get injured.

2132
01:38:34,880 --> 01:38:37,920
You think he's the source?

2133
01:38:37,920 --> 01:38:39,760
I think he's pivotal for them.

2134
01:38:39,760 --> 01:38:42,000
And I think they might struggle without him because

2135
01:38:42,000 --> 01:38:44,880
there are certain moments where it's all Zergse.

2136
01:38:44,880 --> 01:38:49,920
Like you feed him a ball and he just fucking faints and shimmies and twists.

2137
01:38:49,920 --> 01:38:56,720
And without, you have many players who work for a few technically gifted players.

2138
01:38:56,720 --> 01:39:02,720
Like Salah Makers and Ndoya, their entire role over here was to serve as Zergse and Ferguson.

2139
01:39:02,720 --> 01:39:03,600
Right?

2140
01:39:03,600 --> 01:39:04,160
Yep.

2141
01:39:04,160 --> 01:39:08,000
Even Fabian and Dabesher to a certain extent in the double pivot with Christian Senang

2142
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:12,640
and Pasha at the back, same thing, man.

2143
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:14,880
Just servicing the striker.

2144
01:39:14,880 --> 01:39:18,320
The substitute striker is not prolific at all.

2145
01:39:18,320 --> 01:39:22,720
Van Huydik Huydink, Huidji D'Ang.

2146
01:39:22,720 --> 01:39:27,440
Yeah, so I think as long as Zergse stays fit, they can actually compete for European spots.

2147
01:39:27,440 --> 01:39:31,200
I also don't know much about their second keeper, but Skoropski is fantastic.

2148
01:39:31,200 --> 01:39:34,480
And I don't know how that would be if something were to happen to him.

2149
01:39:34,480 --> 01:39:37,600
Other than that, they have depth all around their wings, especially.

2150
01:39:37,600 --> 01:39:41,040
Like Orser Lim, he's fallen injured and not that bad.

2151
01:39:41,040 --> 01:39:43,920
They can do with Ndoya, who's okay.

2152
01:39:45,360 --> 01:39:51,040
Froyler came on as a substitute in the double pivot, for example, another brilliant piece of depth.

2153
01:39:52,480 --> 01:39:57,520
Yeah, and obviously, once again, praise to Fabian Bro because he already scored the season.

2154
01:39:57,520 --> 01:40:03,760
He had scored in his first, I think, substitute appearance and now he scored in his first start.

2155
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:05,600
So power to him.

2156
01:40:05,600 --> 01:40:07,440
The boys got a real life for Gull.

2157
01:40:07,440 --> 01:40:08,880
Yeah, absolutely.

2158
01:40:08,880 --> 01:40:12,880
That was going to be my second and last question for you.

2159
01:40:12,880 --> 01:40:17,360
So basically, guys, Bologna in sixth place on 21 points,

2160
01:40:18,000 --> 01:40:21,120
while Storino are down in 12th on 16 points.

2161
01:40:22,320 --> 01:40:24,320
Verona, two-let-cha-two, brother.

2162
01:40:24,320 --> 01:40:24,960
Let's go.

2163
01:40:24,960 --> 01:40:28,080
This was a super entertaining game.

2164
01:40:28,800 --> 01:40:31,280
Super, super, super entertaining game.

2165
01:40:32,240 --> 01:40:34,400
Verona started the 4-2-3-1.

2166
01:40:34,400 --> 01:40:37,600
They had Chachua as the right back.

2167
01:40:37,600 --> 01:40:42,720
Chachua, Hien back as center back, partnered with Amione, of course.

2168
01:40:43,680 --> 01:40:48,960
Sousloff was the track artist here with Jury starting up front and Ngoj starting on the right

2169
01:40:48,960 --> 01:40:51,360
with Mboula starting on the left.

2170
01:40:51,360 --> 01:40:52,640
They change a lot this Verona.

2171
01:40:52,640 --> 01:40:53,200
Yeah.

2172
01:40:53,200 --> 01:40:56,080
For Lecce, it's pretty much the same team that it is every week.

2173
01:40:56,080 --> 01:40:59,840
The midfield three is a bit different, Odin, Blin and Gonzales.

2174
01:40:59,840 --> 01:41:03,600
Banda was on the right this time with Sansoen on the left and Christovic up front.

2175
01:41:03,600 --> 01:41:06,640
The defense was business as usual, Falcon and Goulas always.

2176
01:41:07,680 --> 01:41:09,520
Yeah, Sousloff looked interesting for Verona.

2177
01:41:09,520 --> 01:41:13,600
That was one of the first things I pointed out when I was taking notes for this one.

2178
01:41:13,600 --> 01:41:20,800
And I also pointed out, bro, and noted that Banda must be the luckiest person when it comes to

2179
01:41:20,800 --> 01:41:21,280
yellow cards.

2180
01:41:21,280 --> 01:41:25,600
This game, he actually got one eventually, this game, but he so often loses his cool,

2181
01:41:26,480 --> 01:41:30,080
pushes someone or kicks someone or nudges someone.

2182
01:41:30,080 --> 01:41:34,480
But I think because he has such a disadvantage with his height that referees actually feel bad

2183
01:41:34,480 --> 01:41:34,800
for him.

2184
01:41:34,800 --> 01:41:39,520
I don't think it's what they feel bad for me, is that keep in mind, if he comes,

2185
01:41:39,520 --> 01:41:44,160
if he runs up to you and barges into you, what?

2186
01:41:44,160 --> 01:41:51,600
It's like Lukaku rested his ass against you.

2187
01:41:51,600 --> 01:41:52,480
You know what I mean?

2188
01:41:53,360 --> 01:41:59,440
The impact doesn't match the actual pain that is inflicted.

2189
01:41:59,440 --> 01:42:01,280
Yeah, it's true.

2190
01:42:01,280 --> 01:42:04,560
Fair enough, but he should totally behave himself.

2191
01:42:04,560 --> 01:42:11,200
Yeah, he starts extending his leg, he starts wagging his arm out.

2192
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:18,160
It was Udon who opened the scoring in the 30th minute, a great goal.

2193
01:42:18,160 --> 01:42:21,600
There was an uncharacteristic error by Hien, who did it twice in a row,

2194
01:42:21,600 --> 01:42:26,000
where he just plays a terrible ball down the middle to the opposition.

2195
01:42:26,000 --> 01:42:30,720
But Udon curled it from outside the area perfectly with his weaker foot,

2196
01:42:30,720 --> 01:42:33,360
and it had quite a lot of power on it as well, Udon.

2197
01:42:33,360 --> 01:42:36,960
He's got quite a good shot on him.

2198
01:42:38,160 --> 01:42:41,360
There was a massive giveaway by Dorgom, and then when Jürich found…

2199
01:42:41,360 --> 01:42:42,880
How many followers did he get from it?

2200
01:42:48,560 --> 01:42:53,200
Jürich found in Gaunch, who slotted it neatly past Falcoané from a very,

2201
01:42:53,200 --> 01:42:58,080
very tight angle, and this was of course towards the end of the first half.

2202
01:42:58,080 --> 01:43:05,120
In the second half, it was Juan Gonzalez who scored for Lecce before Milán Jürich headed

2203
01:43:05,120 --> 01:43:08,560
home at Filipe Patera, trying to make it 2-2.

2204
01:43:10,240 --> 01:43:13,920
There were great saves by Falcoané, especially in the second half.

2205
01:43:13,920 --> 01:43:18,080
There was an unfree kick on in Gaunch, a fantastic save, another amazing one on Duda.

2206
01:43:18,640 --> 01:43:23,120
There was… Ah, Gonzalez's goal, by the way, took a deflection off of Duda.

2207
01:43:23,120 --> 01:43:24,640
I forgot to mention that.

2208
01:43:24,640 --> 01:43:30,480
But the finale of this game was action-packed, and it featured Bonazzoli scoring offside as well.

2209
01:43:30,480 --> 01:43:36,080
It would have been 3-2 for Jalaz Verana, who have improved recently.

2210
01:43:36,080 --> 01:43:41,120
They're starting to get their shit together, while Lecce have regressed ever so slightly,

2211
01:43:41,120 --> 01:43:44,800
but it is fair to say that they overachieved at the start of the season,

2212
01:43:44,800 --> 01:43:48,720
and that actually gave them some comfort, because the main objective for a team like

2213
01:43:48,720 --> 01:43:50,640
Lecce is obviously survival, right?

2214
01:43:50,640 --> 01:43:54,080
Yeah, and I mean, what did they do last year to survive?

2215
01:43:54,080 --> 01:43:58,240
They overachieved in the first half of the season, and then the second half of the season,

2216
01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:00,080
they weren't so great.

2217
01:44:00,080 --> 01:44:01,120
They were actually terrible.

2218
01:44:02,080 --> 01:44:07,520
In fact, I believe I had them coming in well, getting relegated this season.

2219
01:44:07,520 --> 01:44:08,240
Lecce, right?

2220
01:44:09,040 --> 01:44:12,160
We didn't know that the guys coming in were going to be so good.

2221
01:44:13,760 --> 01:44:16,160
I think that many actions die with Banda.

2222
01:44:16,160 --> 01:44:18,960
We actually have a listener question from Alan about Banda,

2223
01:44:18,960 --> 01:44:22,160
and about Lecce playing with two strikers up front,

2224
01:44:22,160 --> 01:44:25,760
because the colleague's been playing well when he comes in, and Christopher is good.

2225
01:44:25,760 --> 01:44:26,880
So why not change it up?

2226
01:44:27,440 --> 01:44:31,040
Play two strikers together, give Banda a bit of a break.

2227
01:44:31,040 --> 01:44:32,400
I think that might be a good idea.

2228
01:44:34,080 --> 01:44:38,000
Interesting to see if Roberto Davesa is flexible enough with that.

2229
01:44:38,000 --> 01:44:40,160
I mean, this isn't his original 4-3-3.

2230
01:44:40,160 --> 01:44:42,160
He found that here when he arrived.

2231
01:44:42,160 --> 01:44:43,840
So he could easily turn things around.

2232
01:44:43,840 --> 01:44:47,280
Maybe deploy a 4-4-2, see how Lecce fair over that.

2233
01:44:47,280 --> 01:44:50,960
I think characteristically they have the players who would thrive in a 4-4-2

2234
01:44:50,960 --> 01:44:53,200
with that solid defence and midfield.

2235
01:44:53,200 --> 01:44:54,000
That's what I'm saying.

2236
01:44:55,120 --> 01:44:58,240
Oudon having a bit more of a free roll, perhaps.

2237
01:44:58,800 --> 01:45:00,080
Bus group behind the strikers.

2238
01:45:00,080 --> 01:45:02,720
Pogracic at the back as well, sent him back in a 4-4-2.

2239
01:45:02,720 --> 01:45:04,800
Sanson could still be out on the left.

2240
01:45:05,440 --> 01:45:08,800
Maybe with Banda you can even play him on the wing, get him away from Golo.

2241
01:45:08,800 --> 01:45:10,800
But there's also Streffetza.

2242
01:45:10,800 --> 01:45:14,560
You play Streffetza, let's say it's a 4-4-2 or a 4-2.

2243
01:45:14,560 --> 01:45:16,480
I think that's more like a 4-3-1-2.

2244
01:45:16,480 --> 01:45:18,480
You play Streffetza on the whole maybe?

2245
01:45:19,760 --> 01:45:20,320
Perhaps.

2246
01:45:20,320 --> 01:45:22,240
He played us on attacking with Fielder.

2247
01:45:22,240 --> 01:45:23,760
That was the start of the season.

2248
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:26,160
Because I don't think the same thing goes for Banda.

2249
01:45:26,160 --> 01:45:27,920
I think we play as like Streffetza on Banda.

2250
01:45:27,920 --> 01:45:29,680
You can't play them on the right side of a 4-4-2.

2251
01:45:29,680 --> 01:45:32,320
I think you need more of a physical guy like Van Ute or something.

2252
01:45:33,200 --> 01:45:33,760
Maybe.

2253
01:45:33,760 --> 01:45:34,320
Maybe.

2254
01:45:34,320 --> 01:45:35,440
I don't know, it depends on the mind.

2255
01:45:35,440 --> 01:45:37,680
It could work, they ought to up front for them.

2256
01:45:37,680 --> 01:45:38,640
It could definitely work.

2257
01:45:38,640 --> 01:45:43,280
Even if they're in a situation where they need a goal, they have that option.

2258
01:45:43,280 --> 01:45:44,880
They often get the ball into the box.

2259
01:45:44,880 --> 01:45:46,800
You know, they're not bad at getting there.

2260
01:45:47,600 --> 01:45:49,440
The problem is it's not always the Crystal Vigil.

2261
01:45:49,440 --> 01:45:50,080
Exactly.

2262
01:45:50,080 --> 01:45:50,800
Exactly.

2263
01:45:50,800 --> 01:45:51,840
Exactly.

2264
01:45:51,840 --> 01:45:56,960
But yeah, this was a very entertaining game characterised by individual errors.

2265
01:45:57,600 --> 01:46:03,600
As to where they stand at the moment, we've got Hellas Verona in 19th with 9 points.

2266
01:46:03,600 --> 01:46:06,800
We'll let you comfortably in 13th with 15 points for now.

2267
01:46:07,680 --> 01:46:10,320
For Zinone 2, Genoa 1.

2268
01:46:10,320 --> 01:46:10,800
Yeah, beautiful.

2269
01:46:10,800 --> 01:46:14,640
Both teams were promoted from Serie B

2270
01:46:14,640 --> 01:46:18,640
over the summer and they're both out of the drop zone, so that's nice to see.

2271
01:46:20,480 --> 01:46:30,480
I remember, I think in our first season, Mintoff had asked us what can Serie A do to fix this

2272
01:46:30,480 --> 01:46:35,840
problem of all the Serie B teams coming up, just instantly getting demoted again.

2273
01:46:35,840 --> 01:46:37,120
How can they fix it?

2274
01:46:37,680 --> 01:46:42,960
But really, over the past few years, we've seen some newly promoted teams come up and just make a

2275
01:46:42,960 --> 01:46:43,760
statement, man.

2276
01:46:43,760 --> 01:46:44,240
Yeah.

2277
01:46:44,240 --> 01:46:45,680
It's happening more and more.

2278
01:46:45,680 --> 01:46:46,960
And it's happening more and more.

2279
01:46:46,960 --> 01:46:49,280
We've got Frozen on a Genoa and Kalyari.

2280
01:46:49,920 --> 01:46:50,640
God bless them.

2281
01:46:52,400 --> 01:46:57,840
Albert Goodmanson joined Retegui, Ekoban and Bani on the absentee list,

2282
01:46:57,840 --> 01:47:02,080
so the Gryphoner looked to Ruslan Malinovsky and George Puskas up front,

2283
01:47:02,080 --> 01:47:06,560
but as a Canary, he missed Luka, Madsitelli, Kalyi and Harrui.

2284
01:47:06,560 --> 01:47:11,440
So, big misses for both teams, especially Genoa with all those injuries.

2285
01:47:11,440 --> 01:47:13,120
Genoa, poor guys, man.

2286
01:47:13,120 --> 01:47:13,920
Yeah.

2287
01:47:13,920 --> 01:47:18,640
Frozen on is an ambitious build-up play in the opening seconds, almost bid them in the

2288
01:47:18,640 --> 01:47:23,040
ass, Assa Sabelli won the ball and squaded to Puskas, but Okoli did well to slide in

2289
01:47:23,040 --> 01:47:24,640
and clear the ball off the line.

2290
01:47:24,640 --> 01:47:26,800
Good to see Okoli getting minutes.

2291
01:47:26,800 --> 01:47:32,320
He is a player owned by Atalanta, a young local centre back and hopefully we'll be seeing

2292
01:47:32,320 --> 01:47:33,600
more of him in the future.

2293
01:47:33,600 --> 01:47:36,480
Yeah, that was a mistake by Barberian Che on long-time adventures.

2294
01:47:36,480 --> 01:47:37,120
Exactly.

2295
01:47:38,160 --> 01:47:41,760
Frozen on opened the scoring through Soullet in the 34th minute,

2296
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:44,560
that was his sixth goal of the season, Madonna.

2297
01:47:45,280 --> 01:47:50,160
It was a powerful moving strike from outside the area, which went straight through Martina,

2298
01:47:50,160 --> 01:47:52,800
so he will be extremely, extremely disappointed.

2299
01:47:52,800 --> 01:47:54,320
Now, that's a goal-keeping error.

2300
01:47:55,280 --> 01:47:57,600
Good strike by Soullet, but near post.

2301
01:47:57,600 --> 01:48:03,600
He literally almost had, in that occasion, you put your body behind the ball,

2302
01:48:04,560 --> 01:48:06,320
and there's no way you concede.

2303
01:48:06,320 --> 01:48:09,840
If you go to extend yourself or do something like that,

2304
01:48:09,840 --> 01:48:14,080
he almost tried to push it out, he extended his arms and tried to push it out,

2305
01:48:14,080 --> 01:48:15,760
and it went through his arms because it was powerful.

2306
01:48:16,320 --> 01:48:16,960
Whatever, man.

2307
01:48:18,560 --> 01:48:24,560
Just two minutes later, Ruslan Massivkowski finally reminded us what he's capable of.

2308
01:48:25,600 --> 01:48:30,560
Scoring our goal of the week, the guys, it's tough to describe this goal.

2309
01:48:30,560 --> 01:48:35,760
It was an unstoppable, powerful, curling strike from around 30 yards out,

2310
01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:38,960
which went straight into the top corner.

2311
01:48:38,960 --> 01:48:43,440
But before it went into the top corner, it was nowhere near anywhere.

2312
01:48:43,440 --> 01:48:46,640
It was nowhere near the goal post, it was nowhere near the keeper.

2313
01:48:46,640 --> 01:48:50,640
Then all of a sudden, it dips and curls into the corner, honestly.

2314
01:48:50,640 --> 01:48:53,360
I think for a second, it was between space and time.

2315
01:48:53,360 --> 01:48:57,920
Like, the galactic soccer goalkeeper wouldn't have saved it.

2316
01:48:57,920 --> 01:49:02,480
That weird cardboard cut out of a keeper that goes left and right,

2317
01:49:02,480 --> 01:49:05,840
that only Messi managed to score against, wouldn't have saved it.

2318
01:49:05,840 --> 01:49:07,200
Like, crazy.

2319
01:49:07,200 --> 01:49:13,040
Sturtman of Inger at half-time, to add to Genua's injury bows, as they were 1-1.

2320
01:49:13,760 --> 01:49:18,000
In the 66th minute, and then Malinowski rattled the crossbar from a free kick,

2321
01:49:18,000 --> 01:49:22,320
which was set up for a cross, it was from an insanely tight angle out to the right-hand side.

2322
01:49:22,320 --> 01:49:26,320
He had Turati tangled up in the side netting, this guy, man.

2323
01:49:27,360 --> 01:49:31,680
Malinowski, when he's on, and he's confident, he's so fun to watch.

2324
01:49:31,680 --> 01:49:33,600
Messi just has a shot, bro.

2325
01:49:33,600 --> 01:49:35,520
It's as simple as giving him space.

2326
01:49:35,520 --> 01:49:38,720
I think most teams have learned not to give him any space.

2327
01:49:38,720 --> 01:49:42,080
And in fact, he's never had the season so far.

2328
01:49:42,080 --> 01:49:44,640
He hasn't been allowed to take these shots.

2329
01:49:44,640 --> 01:49:47,440
This time, he had a moment, he wasn't even on the ball.

2330
01:49:47,440 --> 01:49:49,680
He didn't even have possession of the ball.

2331
01:49:49,680 --> 01:49:51,920
He kicked it out of a teammate's possession.

2332
01:49:52,800 --> 01:49:53,520
Crazy, man.

2333
01:49:53,520 --> 01:49:55,520
I think maybe that's what he has to do now.

2334
01:49:55,520 --> 01:49:58,080
Charge his teammates and kick the ball out of there.

2335
01:49:58,080 --> 01:49:58,640
Literally.

2336
01:50:00,000 --> 01:50:04,240
They were neck and neck for the majority of the game at 1-1,

2337
01:50:04,240 --> 01:50:05,360
both teams trying.

2338
01:50:06,880 --> 01:50:11,680
At Froznan, they kept going, despite Malinowski hitting the post and this and that.

2339
01:50:12,560 --> 01:50:15,280
In the 94th minute, they finally managed to find their winner.

2340
01:50:15,280 --> 01:50:18,720
It was Ilario Monterese, the 21-year-old centre-back,

2341
01:50:18,720 --> 01:50:21,360
who got the winner after a cutback from Brescianini,

2342
01:50:22,160 --> 01:50:25,120
managed to get it past the goalkeeper, coming in sliding in.

2343
01:50:26,080 --> 01:50:29,040
I like Monterese. We've highlighted him in the past.

2344
01:50:29,040 --> 01:50:30,480
It was the second goal of the season.

2345
01:50:30,480 --> 01:50:31,440
Yeah, yeah.

2346
01:50:31,440 --> 01:50:34,240
We probably highlighted him when he got the first goal of the season.

2347
01:50:34,240 --> 01:50:35,600
He enjoyed it.

2348
01:50:35,600 --> 01:50:36,640
Yes, yes, yes.

2349
01:50:36,640 --> 01:50:38,320
He took it player Monterese.

2350
01:50:38,320 --> 01:50:39,040
He is, man.

2351
01:50:39,040 --> 01:50:39,440
He is.

2352
01:50:40,880 --> 01:50:46,720
Froznan faced controversy with a potential handling offence by Dragosin,

2353
01:50:46,720 --> 01:50:49,840
but VAR showed it was just outside the penalty area.

2354
01:50:51,120 --> 01:50:52,560
That happened throughout the game.

2355
01:50:52,560 --> 01:50:56,160
I wasn't sure in what minute it happened, so I put it at my talking point.

2356
01:50:59,200 --> 01:51:01,280
This is Froznan's sixth result.

2357
01:51:01,280 --> 01:51:02,960
Without a loss at home.

2358
01:51:02,960 --> 01:51:03,840
That's crazy.

2359
01:51:03,840 --> 01:51:04,480
That's crazy.

2360
01:51:04,480 --> 01:51:06,160
For a newly promoted team, man.

2361
01:51:06,160 --> 01:51:08,880
To have that home record in your first season in Serie A.

2362
01:51:09,520 --> 01:51:14,480
You look at, you have two newly promoted teams from the last two seasons

2363
01:51:14,480 --> 01:51:15,680
in the top ten at the moment.

2364
01:51:16,480 --> 01:51:16,720
Madonna, yeah.

2365
01:51:16,720 --> 01:51:18,960
Monza, ninth, and Froznan, and tenth.

2366
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:19,920
Madonna, man.

2367
01:51:19,920 --> 01:51:21,440
Yeah, the league's getting competitive.

2368
01:51:21,440 --> 01:51:24,080
I like when teams with good projects get promoted, you know?

2369
01:51:25,040 --> 01:51:26,480
Froznan are very exciting.

2370
01:51:26,480 --> 01:51:30,880
And Monza, of course, coming up, they were destined for success.

2371
01:51:31,760 --> 01:51:33,840
So hopefully it remains a trend.

2372
01:51:33,840 --> 01:51:38,160
And hopefully, you know, the likes of your Udinese and your Veranas,

2373
01:51:38,160 --> 01:51:42,640
where there isn't much of a project going on, eventually phase out.

2374
01:51:42,640 --> 01:51:46,000
And new exciting teams come up, like the likes of Venezia,

2375
01:51:46,000 --> 01:51:47,040
the likes of Palermo.

2376
01:51:47,040 --> 01:51:49,680
These teams have very good projects going on.

2377
01:51:49,680 --> 01:51:51,120
And even Barri have a good project.

2378
01:51:51,120 --> 01:51:52,160
Yeah, absolutely.

2379
01:51:53,040 --> 01:51:56,080
Do not sleep on Genoa, even though they just lost to Froznan,

2380
01:51:56,080 --> 01:51:58,080
they do have a bunch of injuries.

2381
01:51:58,080 --> 01:51:58,960
They will be back.

2382
01:51:58,960 --> 01:52:00,480
They've got such a strong squad.

2383
01:52:01,600 --> 01:52:05,040
And once these players are back and they get flowing,

2384
01:52:06,080 --> 01:52:09,600
we can even see them push to get as close to that tenth spot

2385
01:52:09,600 --> 01:52:11,200
as possible, I think, Genoa.

2386
01:52:11,200 --> 01:52:12,800
But there's no reason.

2387
01:52:12,800 --> 01:52:13,120
That's not far, actually.

2388
01:52:13,120 --> 01:52:17,360
I mean, Messi hasn't been in full condition yet.

2389
01:52:17,360 --> 01:52:20,560
He hasn't been at his best, and he suffered injuries when he arrived.

2390
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:22,240
I think he's been injured.

2391
01:52:22,240 --> 01:52:23,920
Now Goodminton was injured this game.

2392
01:52:23,920 --> 01:52:27,040
So we've been seeing Puskas, Echobon, you know,

2393
01:52:28,160 --> 01:52:29,680
not quite good enough.

2394
01:52:29,680 --> 01:52:33,280
But their starting eleven is definitely good enough

2395
01:52:33,280 --> 01:52:34,560
to give anyone around for that month.

2396
01:52:34,560 --> 01:52:35,120
For sure.

2397
01:52:35,120 --> 01:52:35,600
For sure.

2398
01:52:35,600 --> 01:52:39,600
And we'll see that in the near future, I'm confident.

2399
01:52:39,600 --> 01:52:42,560
When it comes to where they are in the table,

2400
01:52:42,560 --> 01:52:44,560
Genoa are in 15th on 14th points,

2401
01:52:44,560 --> 01:52:47,840
and Froznan are in 10th on 18th points.

2402
01:52:47,840 --> 01:52:55,680
To Froznan, 18 points, there are only six points behind Napoli and 4th.

2403
01:52:57,840 --> 01:52:58,480
So, you know.

2404
01:53:01,600 --> 01:53:03,280
Kaljeri won one-to-one.

2405
01:53:03,280 --> 01:53:04,240
Last game, right?

2406
01:53:04,240 --> 01:53:05,200
Last game.

2407
01:53:05,200 --> 01:53:06,720
This was an early Sunday treat.

2408
01:53:07,520 --> 01:53:09,680
Petania got a start alongside Lovumbo,

2409
01:53:09,680 --> 01:53:11,360
and it's safe to say, and it's fair to say,

2410
01:53:11,360 --> 01:53:13,840
that Petania deserved this start,

2411
01:53:13,840 --> 01:53:17,120
because he's been pretty good recently.

2412
01:53:17,120 --> 01:53:18,880
Speaking of Sunday treats.

2413
01:53:21,360 --> 01:53:22,560
Wow, it's a Sunday roast.

2414
01:53:23,920 --> 01:53:26,320
Sunday roasts are fucking delicious, man.

2415
01:53:26,320 --> 01:53:27,680
Yeah, they are.

2416
01:53:27,680 --> 01:53:31,600
19-year-old Prati started for Kaljeri as their register,

2417
01:53:31,600 --> 01:53:35,200
and it was business as usual for Monza.

2418
01:53:35,920 --> 01:53:38,800
Dossana got his second goal in two games

2419
01:53:38,800 --> 01:53:40,480
after a great corner by Viola.

2420
01:53:41,360 --> 01:53:44,080
There was a good initial header by goal Daniga,

2421
01:53:44,080 --> 01:53:48,240
but the ball was saved and Dossana tapped in the rebound.

2422
01:53:48,240 --> 01:53:51,040
The 25-year-old Atalanta youth player

2423
01:53:51,040 --> 01:53:54,640
who has been impressing ever since those three mistakes

2424
01:53:54,640 --> 01:53:56,080
he made against Froznan.

2425
01:53:57,040 --> 01:53:58,640
But then he contributed to the winner.

2426
01:53:58,640 --> 01:54:01,920
So, you know, what a comeback story.

2427
01:54:01,920 --> 01:54:04,400
Between the 20th and the 25th minute,

2428
01:54:04,400 --> 01:54:07,360
Kaljeri had two penalty calls for handball.

2429
01:54:07,360 --> 01:54:09,600
They were applying a lot of pressure,

2430
01:54:09,600 --> 01:54:11,920
and DJ Goriaharovics kept them in the game.

2431
01:54:11,920 --> 01:54:14,720
Even Colomba had to go back to contribute to the defense.

2432
01:54:14,720 --> 01:54:16,640
That's how much Kaljeri were pressing these guys.

2433
01:54:17,920 --> 01:54:19,920
Viola gave a free kick in the first half

2434
01:54:19,920 --> 01:54:21,360
that had everyone celebrating.

2435
01:54:21,360 --> 01:54:22,320
Everyone thought it went in,

2436
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:24,320
but it turns out that he decided netting.

2437
01:54:24,320 --> 01:54:27,360
I was particularly impressed by Makumbu.

2438
01:54:27,920 --> 01:54:29,120
Makumbu is very good.

2439
01:54:29,120 --> 01:54:30,160
He played really well.

2440
01:54:30,160 --> 01:54:30,720
He's a player.

2441
01:54:30,720 --> 01:54:32,720
Remember, I described Kaljeri in midfielder,

2442
01:54:32,720 --> 01:54:33,760
who is very shifty.

2443
01:54:33,760 --> 01:54:35,360
Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes.

2444
01:54:35,360 --> 01:54:36,400
Yeah, that's him.

2445
01:54:36,400 --> 01:54:37,520
Makumbu. He's pretty good.

2446
01:54:37,520 --> 01:54:39,920
I thought that Birindelian Colpani

2447
01:54:39,920 --> 01:54:42,720
were very good for Monza, particularly Birindelli.

2448
01:54:42,720 --> 01:54:44,320
I saw him give a few balls.

2449
01:54:44,320 --> 01:54:45,920
I was like, oh, that's him.

2450
01:54:45,920 --> 01:54:47,600
That's a good pass over there by him.

2451
01:54:48,560 --> 01:54:51,360
Maric got his first ever goal

2452
01:54:51,360 --> 01:54:54,560
with a lovely header off of a Kyriakopolis corner.

2453
01:54:54,560 --> 01:54:56,880
Maric is a 28-year-old player

2454
01:54:56,880 --> 01:54:59,520
who was previously on loan at Crotone,

2455
01:54:59,520 --> 01:55:03,520
where he got 11 goals in 36 appearances.

2456
01:55:03,520 --> 01:55:05,120
I was going to say 36 assists,

2457
01:55:05,120 --> 01:55:07,120
because I just wrote A because I'm lazy.

2458
01:55:07,120 --> 01:55:09,120
Bro is from Croatia, by the way.

2459
01:55:09,120 --> 01:55:10,320
6 foot 2.

2460
01:55:10,320 --> 01:55:11,360
Yes.

2461
01:55:11,360 --> 01:55:14,720
Smiles and cheers whenever Paveletti comes on,

2462
01:55:14,720 --> 01:55:16,320
who came in at the end of the game,

2463
01:55:16,320 --> 01:55:20,320
and Monza hit the crossbar twice this game.

2464
01:55:20,320 --> 01:55:23,120
Shuriah had a particularly close one

2465
01:55:23,120 --> 01:55:25,520
at the end of the game when Karaboni played him through.

2466
01:55:25,520 --> 01:55:29,120
Monza plays such nice and tricky football, man.

2467
01:55:29,120 --> 01:55:30,320
Such a good team.

2468
01:55:30,320 --> 01:55:33,920
They have like Birindelli and Colpani

2469
01:55:33,920 --> 01:55:36,320
and Kyriakopolis and Mota,

2470
01:55:36,320 --> 01:55:40,720
so they have their wing backs and their wingers.

2471
01:55:40,720 --> 01:55:43,120
They link up with these one-twos.

2472
01:55:43,120 --> 01:55:46,720
Sometimes they even bring in the two central midfielders,

2473
01:55:46,720 --> 01:55:49,120
and they set up these little triangles

2474
01:55:49,120 --> 01:55:53,120
that they like Galjardini, Kyriakopolis, Mota,

2475
01:55:53,120 --> 01:55:55,120
or Pesina, Birindelli, Colpani.

2476
01:55:55,120 --> 01:55:57,920
Everyone can play on this team.

2477
01:55:57,920 --> 01:56:00,320
If you look at the Carboni,

2478
01:56:00,320 --> 01:56:02,320
you look at Itso, who's out at the moment.

2479
01:56:02,320 --> 01:56:04,320
These guys are very technically gifted.

2480
01:56:04,320 --> 01:56:06,320
And they have a nice balance,

2481
01:56:06,320 --> 01:56:08,320
and their team is fantastic.

2482
01:56:08,320 --> 01:56:12,320
It's young, and they're very exciting to watch.

2483
01:56:12,320 --> 01:56:15,320
And I look forward to watching them for a while and say, yeah.

2484
01:56:15,320 --> 01:56:17,320
Same here, man. Same here.

2485
01:56:17,320 --> 01:56:20,320
As to where they stand in the table.

2486
01:56:20,320 --> 01:56:22,320
I always have to buy myself.

2487
01:56:22,320 --> 01:56:26,320
As for where they stand in the table,

2488
01:56:26,320 --> 01:56:32,320
Kalyari currently stand in 17th with 10 points,

2489
01:56:32,320 --> 01:56:36,320
while Monza are in 9th with 18 points.

2490
01:56:36,320 --> 01:56:41,320
I think it's needless to say that when it comes to the question segment,

2491
01:56:41,320 --> 01:56:46,320
we should release another episode into like a 20-minuteer

2492
01:56:46,320 --> 01:56:48,320
for the question segment,

2493
01:56:48,320 --> 01:56:50,320
because obviously a lot happened in this matchday,

2494
01:56:50,320 --> 01:56:53,320
so it's hard to fit that in within the two-hour time frame.

2495
01:56:53,320 --> 01:56:55,320
This is what we're trying to stick to,

2496
01:56:55,320 --> 01:57:01,320
just because logistically it makes everything vis-à-vis distribution much easier.

2497
01:57:01,320 --> 01:57:04,320
And believe me, much easier.

2498
01:57:04,320 --> 01:57:05,320
Yeah, much easier.

2499
01:57:05,320 --> 01:57:07,320
Keeping it under two hours.

2500
01:57:07,320 --> 01:57:09,320
So yeah, we'll upload another mini-episode,

2501
01:57:09,320 --> 01:57:11,320
with four questions, I'm sure you'll be happy with that.

2502
01:57:11,320 --> 01:57:13,320
That will be three uploads today, by the way,

2503
01:57:13,320 --> 01:57:15,320
because we uploaded the trailer as well.

2504
01:57:15,320 --> 01:57:17,320
Oh my god.

2505
01:57:17,320 --> 01:57:21,320
Okay, so that's that for this episode, guys.

2506
01:57:21,320 --> 01:57:24,320
Don't forget to, well, firstly,

2507
01:57:24,320 --> 01:57:26,320
thank you for dropping ratings,

2508
01:57:26,320 --> 01:57:28,320
because we got that average back up to five stars,

2509
01:57:28,320 --> 01:57:31,320
rather than four, rather than 4.9,

2510
01:57:31,320 --> 01:57:34,320
because I was going to kill someone, like.

2511
01:57:34,320 --> 01:57:36,320
So thank you very much.

2512
01:57:36,320 --> 01:57:38,320
Don't forget to keep on rating, keep on following,

2513
01:57:38,320 --> 01:57:42,320
keep on looking out for TikTok and Instagram for our snippets.

2514
01:57:42,320 --> 01:57:44,320
We're working on some fun ones right now.

2515
01:57:44,320 --> 01:57:48,320
Thank you, and we will see you all next week.

2516
01:57:48,320 --> 01:57:50,320
Change, Jeff.

2517
01:57:50,320 --> 01:57:53,320
This is Seria Spotlight.

2518
01:57:53,320 --> 01:57:56,320
If you like Seria out or have ever liked it in the past,

2519
01:57:56,320 --> 01:57:59,320
it's a good opportunity for you to listen once a week,

2520
01:57:59,320 --> 01:58:00,320
and you'll get filled in.

2521
01:58:00,320 --> 01:58:02,320
In the football weekend, that's like the main dish.

2522
01:58:02,320 --> 01:58:04,320
But then, a few days later,

2523
01:58:04,320 --> 01:58:07,320
you drop your episode, and that's like the dessert.

2524
01:58:07,320 --> 01:58:09,320
And the dessert is just perfect.

2525
01:58:09,320 --> 01:58:10,320
It's good, okay?

2526
01:58:10,320 --> 01:58:13,320
It makes it feel like we're all sitting in a room together,

2527
01:58:13,320 --> 01:58:15,320
just BSing with each other.

2528
01:58:15,320 --> 01:58:17,320
The atmosphere is fantastic.

2529
01:58:17,320 --> 01:58:21,320
I promise nobody will ask you to send boob pics.

2530
01:58:21,320 --> 01:58:24,320
Sometimes it may be good, sometimes it may be shit.

2531
01:58:24,320 --> 01:58:27,320
I love how you go into so much detail

2532
01:58:27,320 --> 01:58:31,320
and show so much passion towards each and every team.

2533
01:58:31,320 --> 01:58:35,320
Literally, no team is left undiscussed.

2534
01:58:35,320 --> 01:58:39,320
When I listen to you, it's like I'm talking to you in a pub.

2535
01:58:39,320 --> 01:58:55,320
It's like I'm chatting to a friend, and you're chatting to me.
