1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Minhan Chouk and here's Louis Muriel!

2
00:00:04,000 --> 00:00:07,000
What a way to win a game!

3
00:00:07,000 --> 00:00:10,000
It's his first in Serie A this season.

4
00:00:10,000 --> 00:00:13,000
It's a goal only Louis Muriel could score.

5
00:00:17,000 --> 00:00:20,000
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Serie A Spotlight.

6
00:00:20,000 --> 00:00:27,000
This is episode 103 and we host Matt and Jake here to discuss a rather mental matchday 15 brother.

7
00:00:27,000 --> 00:00:34,000
Absolutely crazy brother, there were fantastic goals, red cards, teeth flying out of people's faces,

8
00:00:34,000 --> 00:00:39,000
people's eyes swelling up to the point that they look like Popeye with one eye.

9
00:00:39,000 --> 00:00:40,000
Jesus!

10
00:00:40,000 --> 00:00:45,000
Yeah man, lapadoula, he broke his nose, had his eyes swollen and scored the equalizer.

11
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:49,000
I almost thought you were talking about what happened in Turkey the other day, that was fucking crazy.

12
00:00:49,000 --> 00:00:55,000
You see the president of a football team just ran onto the pitch and cunted the referee in the face, man.

13
00:00:55,000 --> 00:00:59,000
And then the fans started coming in and they started kicking the referee when he was down.

14
00:00:59,000 --> 00:01:03,000
Look, it's despicable and the league's been, I think, halted for now.

15
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
Yeah, all the games have been postponed.

16
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:09,000
Yeah, you know, not good to see if it's on the pitch between the players.

17
00:01:09,000 --> 00:01:14,000
That's fine but when the club owner, president or whatever, runs onto the pitch and punches the referee, that's just crazy.

18
00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:19,000
To be honest, the club should be punished for that because it's his club quite frankly.

19
00:01:19,000 --> 00:01:28,000
Our goal of the week this week was Mourielz against Milan, who channeled his inner Ronaldo, you know, his inner Brazilian Ronaldo.

20
00:01:28,000 --> 00:01:35,000
He has this in him and we've been saying, there was one season where he barely needed five minutes to score a goal.

21
00:01:35,000 --> 00:01:42,000
He would come on, he's got this magical technique but his fitness often lets him down as a player, quite moody.

22
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:44,000
But that was absolutely incredible.

23
00:01:44,000 --> 00:01:46,000
That was the winner naturally.

24
00:01:46,000 --> 00:01:55,000
And typically you see a back heel being scored, like the same way that Zakanje scored, you know, it's a square ball to him and he backheels it in.

25
00:01:55,000 --> 00:02:03,000
Scamacca was crazy earlier this season as well through the keeper's legs but this one threw a goal at an angle and he backheels it in.

26
00:02:03,000 --> 00:02:09,000
Very, very sneaky man, there's no way any goalkeeper would have caught onto that.

27
00:02:09,000 --> 00:02:12,000
And we haven't even mentioned Miron Chouk on that goal, the assist.

28
00:02:12,000 --> 00:02:17,000
The ball was glued to him, it's like scripting on FIFA, no, that happened, that was crazy.

29
00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:19,000
Shout out to Pavoletti as well.

30
00:02:19,000 --> 00:02:22,000
Absolutely, it was a tight debate between those two man.

31
00:02:22,000 --> 00:02:23,000
Essela Meti.

32
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:25,000
Seña Pavoletti brother.

33
00:02:25,000 --> 00:02:27,000
Always, always, always.

34
00:02:27,000 --> 00:02:29,000
Last kick of the game, it was crazy man.

35
00:02:29,000 --> 00:02:32,000
So many good games this weekend man.

36
00:02:32,000 --> 00:02:38,000
And it always feels like by the time it's Tuesday, you know, the Friday games are complete blur bro.

37
00:02:38,000 --> 00:02:45,000
Hey, like to me, the Juve and Napoli game, not that it's irrelevant but so much happened since then.

38
00:02:45,000 --> 00:02:46,000
It's true.

39
00:02:46,000 --> 00:02:50,000
And the highlights of this weekend have taken place after that game, you know.

40
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:51,000
Absolutely, absolutely.

41
00:02:51,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Don't forget to follow us guys on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter and YouTube just to see our short snippets that we posed, they're quite funny.

42
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:06,000
And J.Tas5 stars wherever you're listening, be it Spotify, Google or Apple.

43
00:03:06,000 --> 00:03:10,000
One thing we haven't done in a while, brother, is mention our Fanta culture.

44
00:03:10,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Yes, there's a reason I've not been reminding you.

45
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:16,000
I've just lost to the girls.

46
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:18,000
That's fucking crazy.

47
00:03:18,000 --> 00:03:22,000
I've just lost to the girls and I think I'm the lowest scoring team in the league.

48
00:03:22,000 --> 00:03:23,000
I don't know what's going on.

49
00:03:23,000 --> 00:03:24,000
You're typically great at that part.

50
00:03:24,000 --> 00:03:26,000
Yes, I don't know what's going on man.

51
00:03:26,000 --> 00:03:29,000
Injuries have really clotted me and like I'm doing terribly.

52
00:03:29,000 --> 00:03:34,000
Like I'm on 13 points in eighth place above the renegades and the girls.

53
00:03:34,000 --> 00:03:37,000
Mentos first, 26 points.

54
00:03:37,000 --> 00:03:40,000
You are currently fourth with 20 points.

55
00:03:40,000 --> 00:03:41,000
Draw seconds.

56
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:42,000
Well, yes.

57
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Wow, there are three teams.

58
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:44,000
Oh wow!

59
00:03:44,000 --> 00:03:46,000
Four teams on 20 points.

60
00:03:46,000 --> 00:03:47,000
Yes, one of them.

61
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,000
Very tight, for our pate team.

62
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:51,000
I hate my team so much, bro.

63
00:03:51,000 --> 00:03:52,000
Yeah, why who?

64
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:59,000
I prefer the other one so much because I took a lot of rigorously to bank on kind of those spot kicks,

65
00:03:59,000 --> 00:04:03,000
but I didn't really take many players that are guaranteed to score a goal from open play.

66
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:04,000
We're not guaranteed.

67
00:04:04,000 --> 00:04:05,000
You can never guarantee.

68
00:04:05,000 --> 00:04:09,000
But I took Ozyman so obviously I spend a lot of resources on him.

69
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:12,000
My other team on the other one is so much better though.

70
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:14,000
Scamakka, Xerxay, Jalanoglu.

71
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:15,000
You've got a great team.

72
00:04:15,000 --> 00:04:17,000
In fact, you're running away with it on the other one.

73
00:04:17,000 --> 00:04:19,000
Yeah, five points ahead.

74
00:04:19,000 --> 00:04:21,000
But anyway guys, we do have a pate team.

75
00:04:21,000 --> 00:04:23,000
We want to support our content.

76
00:04:23,000 --> 00:04:25,000
It's $3.99 a month.

77
00:04:25,000 --> 00:04:29,000
We've got a single tier and it's to help us out and the money will be reinvested into the podcast,

78
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:32,000
the studio trying to introduce film, eventually things like that.

79
00:04:32,000 --> 00:04:34,000
Once we learn how to withdraw the money.

80
00:04:34,000 --> 00:04:36,000
No, I figured it out.

81
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,000
I filled in the form and we can withdraw the money.

82
00:04:38,000 --> 00:04:39,000
Nice.

83
00:04:39,000 --> 00:04:41,000
But we might as well save it and keep it there.

84
00:04:41,000 --> 00:04:42,000
Yeah, but for now.

85
00:04:42,000 --> 00:04:45,000
I paid for the new mic there brother.

86
00:04:45,000 --> 00:04:47,000
I'll pay you half.

87
00:04:47,000 --> 00:04:49,000
Don't worry, the mic will come out of our pockets.

88
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:51,000
The Patreon list so far.

89
00:04:51,000 --> 00:04:53,000
Shout out to these legends.

90
00:04:53,000 --> 00:05:01,000
We've got Mintov, Mike, Luca, Alenandi, Mattias, Edward, Teolena, Tonna, Anthony and David.

91
00:05:01,000 --> 00:05:03,000
Master of this stuff.

92
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:04,000
Legendary.

93
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:07,000
If you want to join the family, guys, get on Patreon.

94
00:05:07,000 --> 00:05:09,000
We'll add you to the WhatsApp group chat.

95
00:05:09,000 --> 00:05:10,000
It's a vibe.

96
00:05:10,000 --> 00:05:11,000
Okay.

97
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:14,000
Yes, as for the rundown, we're going to start things off with you.

98
00:05:14,000 --> 00:05:25,000
Well, one, Napoli Nill and what was, you know, the, the staple of this, of this matchday being you then second and they actually went first place temporarily before in tears game.

99
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:28,000
Atalanta three Milan two in that.

100
00:05:28,000 --> 00:05:30,000
Is it a Lombardi?

101
00:05:30,000 --> 00:05:32,000
Derby over there.

102
00:05:32,000 --> 00:05:34,000
It would be a Lombardi Derby.

103
00:05:34,000 --> 00:05:36,000
Let's call it the Lombardi Derby.

104
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:38,000
Atalanta got the lead Milan fought back.

105
00:05:38,000 --> 00:05:43,000
Atalanta got the lead Milan fought back and then Atalanta got the lead after a Calabria red card.

106
00:05:43,000 --> 00:05:49,000
Inter for Odinese Nill, Chalano glue once again on the score sheet over there for Inter.

107
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:58,000
Roma one Fiorentina one, two red cards for Roma over there in a feisty feisty match where actually the ball went off injured once again for Roma.

108
00:05:58,000 --> 00:06:04,000
Salernitana one Bologna two that's Bologna's first win away from home this season thanks to a doppietta by Zergze.

109
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:10,000
Caliari two Sassuolo one Sassuolo and the self-destruct button are a match made in heaven.

110
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:14,000
Caliari and the comeback are an even more accurate match made in heaven.

111
00:06:14,000 --> 00:06:21,000
Monza one, Geno one Nill Monza left it late but it was Danny Mota that got them the victory after his first goal in 16 matches.

112
00:06:21,000 --> 00:06:29,000
Rona one Lazio one Zaka Nilsquad against his old team but Thomas Henri got the second goal in two matches in a row.

113
00:06:29,000 --> 00:06:42,000
Empoli one Lecce one Empoli did manage to get out of the relegation zone for a second but now they are back in it and Frozino and Nill, Torino Nill is obviously the last game that we are going to be covering.

114
00:06:42,000 --> 00:06:51,000
Some bangers over there bro lots of goalkeeping errors as well. Yes lots of red cards and quite a few fantastic goals so I think we should just jump right in bro.

115
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:58,000
I think so and we'll start naturally with you Van Apoly get this one over and done with now. It was a good game. It was entertaining.

116
00:06:58,000 --> 00:07:10,000
It was a rather tight affair. You were still missing Wea who was replaced by Kambia so typically plays as a left back but he started as a right back in this game and wow he's a very versatile player.

117
00:07:10,000 --> 00:07:20,000
I've heard comparisons to Zambrotta recently. I like it. Danilo had his first start in six weeks slotting into that back three alongside Gatti and Bremer finally.

118
00:07:20,000 --> 00:07:26,000
We could see that iconic back three for you. When I say iconic I mean you know this season.

119
00:07:26,000 --> 00:07:28,000
Formidable. Formidable. Yes.

120
00:07:28,000 --> 00:07:34,000
There's three tough opponents. Yeah definitely. And Locatelli this time started in midfield ahead of Nicolus.

121
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:48,000
You're good to see that his rib has gotten a little bit better. Oliveira and Rui were still out for Napoli so Natan was once again used as a left back and this time Ziellinsky started ahead of Elmas because last week for some reason Elmas started ahead of Ziellinsky.

122
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:59,000
The game ignited after 20 minutes when Kierza's dynamic runs down the left wing created chances but Juan Jesus made a crucial block to deny Juventus an early lead.

123
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Napoli had clear chances to break the deadlock notably Kvica-Gvaratskelia. He had that dreadful one on one miss where he failed to hit the target with plenty of time and space.

124
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:20,000
Thru on goal and he lifted the ball over the cross. That was so unlike him. He looked really amateur. He's typically like he's not typically a player that thinks.

125
00:08:20,000 --> 00:08:27,000
He's a very instinctual player and over there I think he almost had too much time to think. That's exactly what I was going to say.

126
00:08:27,000 --> 00:08:37,000
He dribbles his man and he has a split second to shoot. He got that ball towards goal. This time he got the ball and he was clean through. He had like one second, two seconds, three seconds.

127
00:08:37,000 --> 00:08:42,000
Exactly. What the hell am I going to do? I got to bend the top bends. He fucked it up.

128
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:51,000
Napoli then had another chance but it was a remarkable save by Ciesni that denied Dilarenza from close range for what probably was the save of the season thus far.

129
00:08:51,000 --> 00:09:01,000
He did great to get back in position and denied the Italians close range header. It was kind of like almost a Gordon Bank save for England.

130
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:04,000
I believe the 1966 World Cup was it?

131
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:07,000
It wasn't around, bro. Personally.

132
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:12,000
No one was around when England won the World Cup but I don't know if it was the season England won the World Cup.

133
00:09:12,000 --> 00:09:15,000
Pelle was on the pitch though. The save was on him.

134
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:24,000
Vlaovic had merit beaten but hit the post from just outside the area after the restart but I believe the Lionsman had deflected offside over there so that doesn't matter.

135
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:32,000
But Juve broke the deadlock just two minutes later in the 50th minute. It was Cambiasso's precise in swinging corner from the right which found Gutty,

136
00:09:32,000 --> 00:09:40,000
whose powerful header found the back of the net giving Juve a crucial lead. This guy is the man on fire. He's the man of the moment. He's the superhero.

137
00:09:40,000 --> 00:09:43,000
The rags the richest story of Gutty.

138
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:49,000
The funniest thing about this is that it seems that his mistake against Sassuolo kicked all of the stuff.

139
00:09:49,000 --> 00:09:55,000
Yes man. We also forgot to open our beer. We're just out here.

140
00:09:55,000 --> 00:09:57,000
Headphone users beware.

141
00:09:57,000 --> 00:10:07,000
You sounded like the video game guy from the Simpsons. The guy with the top post. The ponytail.

142
00:10:07,000 --> 00:10:16,000
You were saying, aha I think he scored one of the worst stone goals I've ever seen and it seemed to inspire him and motivate him and he hasn't looked back since.

143
00:10:16,000 --> 00:10:25,000
An embarrassing experience can either very much make or break you especially on the grand stage but Gutty, wow.

144
00:10:25,000 --> 00:10:30,000
And the thing that people aren't talking about is that he's actually been very solid defensively as well.

145
00:10:30,000 --> 00:10:40,000
He's becoming a bit of a Sergio Ramos. There was also Roman Neody for like two games in a row for me. That was the last bit of goals. One of them was like a rough shot but he didn't fall. It was crazy.

146
00:10:40,000 --> 00:10:48,000
And the other one was when I believe it was Sousseau and maybe Kutrona. They were just passing and shooting.

147
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:55,000
Napoli thought they equalized with Ossiman's goal after Politan intercepted Shesny's wayward pass but the goal was to sell out for offside.

148
00:10:55,000 --> 00:11:01,000
It was great work by Ossiman to score that but it was a definite offside.

149
00:11:01,000 --> 00:11:09,000
I was putting together the notes I was reading on the article and it said marginally offside and that stirred debate.

150
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:16,000
No. Did you see what the VAR showed? Absolutely. It was a mile.

151
00:11:16,000 --> 00:11:25,000
The guy was in another country like Napoli attempt to delete. Comeback with Di Lorenzo hitting the side netting and Shesny making crucial saves to secure the narrow lead.

152
00:11:25,000 --> 00:11:33,000
So Juve actually momentarily went up to first. Napoli struggling but one thing I want to address is Madzari's baptism of fire.

153
00:11:33,000 --> 00:11:44,000
His first game for Napoli after the international break was on a way victory against Atalanta. Two goes to one. I see that and I get so pissed off as Amil of Alfa.

154
00:11:44,000 --> 00:11:54,000
And then a trip to Madrid shortly after where they lost 4-2 and then they hosted Inter and lost 3-0 and then they went to Juve and they lost 1-0.

155
00:11:54,000 --> 00:12:04,000
So one thing I'm noticing over here a bit of a trend is maybe their goal scoring abilities are nowhere near what they used to be last year.

156
00:12:04,000 --> 00:12:14,000
So obviously it's clear to see that defensively Napoli are better since Rudi Garcia sacking or rather Madzari's employment.

157
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:20,000
What is also clear is that there aren't any clear offensive patterns.

158
00:12:20,000 --> 00:12:29,000
So it seems that he's giving Poletano, Ozzyman and Gvarratskjelja a lot of freedom of expression, a lot of room to improvise.

159
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:38,000
And that obviously does not always work. It depends on how they perform on the day. If they're having a bad day there's no system to almost fall back on.

160
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:45,000
Now this would work but it doesn't help as well as we discussed last episode that these guys are exhausted.

161
00:12:45,000 --> 00:12:51,000
They've been run to the ground, they were made to play against Real Madrid as well mid-week and they had Inter right after.

162
00:12:51,000 --> 00:12:55,000
It's exhausting for them playing that many minutes.

163
00:12:55,000 --> 00:13:03,000
And yeah it's clear to see that offensively they're not ticking, they're tired and there's a lot of pressure on the individuals to cook something up.

164
00:13:03,000 --> 00:13:08,000
And if they don't manage then it's over for them. They don't really have any other alternatives.

165
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:16,000
Plus Juve are the kings at disrupting their opponent. They will stop you from playing your game. They're so without that.

166
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:25,000
Look at, sorry to rant here but I have to say this as well, Gatti Bremer and Danilo were like proper 90s Italian defenders.

167
00:13:25,000 --> 00:13:32,000
The way they handled Ozzyman. It was abuse. They were hitting him like pulling at his t-shirt, really taunting him.

168
00:13:32,000 --> 00:13:35,000
And yeah they kept him quiet. Very good.

169
00:13:35,000 --> 00:13:48,000
So Napoli clearly agree exactly with what you're saying. I wouldn't even say they got tired here defensively but they got way more cautious as a team.

170
00:13:48,000 --> 00:13:58,000
It's like even when they're attacking they're not that free-flowing because they've always got kind of almost insecurity about what's going on at the back when they are attacking.

171
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:09,000
Obviously it doesn't help that they're playing Natan as a left back because typically Mario Rui and Olivier are pushing a bit higher up the field and it gives them that additional outlet.

172
00:14:09,000 --> 00:14:14,000
Especially Mario Rui who could really whip a ball in for when the rest aren't showing up.

173
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:17,000
But these are the kind of things you expect when you're a point.

174
00:14:17,000 --> 00:14:28,000
A classic Italian manager that's used to managing teams that are battling relegation or mid table and you put him with the league champions.

175
00:14:28,000 --> 00:14:36,000
I think he trusts that that front three look you guys debatably two out of three of you are world class.

176
00:14:36,000 --> 00:14:42,000
Just go give it your all. Defensively leave it up to us. And I think that's where they're struggling.

177
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:52,000
To contrast you there who okay it's a leagry system. It's a very pragmatic system.

178
00:14:52,000 --> 00:14:53,000
To say the least.

179
00:14:53,000 --> 00:14:57,000
To say the least. But man have they got the mentality of winners this you bet.

180
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Oh it's next level and you look at the individual performances and the way the team kind of rejoices when a goal is scored.

181
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:13,000
First of all Cesney's performances like these saves are when you are league. They can win you the league.

182
00:15:13,000 --> 00:15:21,000
Those defenders are tough. They can get you clean sheets all season long.

183
00:15:21,000 --> 00:15:35,000
And when you have a striker like Vlaovic who's off form and everything is going against him and he should be sulking and he should be so annoyed with himself and upset and pissed off and moody.

184
00:15:35,000 --> 00:15:42,000
You see him celebrating so passionately when his team made score.

185
00:15:42,000 --> 00:15:53,000
It goes to show that this team definitely has this team spirit about them and that our leg has really created a unit that is pretty much tough.

186
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
They're keeping up with an interside was much better than them on paper and they're right there with them.

187
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:02,000
Have we addressed that our leg isn't going to be there next season and that most likely is going to be content.

188
00:16:02,000 --> 00:16:09,000
I don't even think we address it. What do you think is next for our leg? Do you see him going into international management or do you think it's not over for him?

189
00:16:09,000 --> 00:16:16,000
I believe he's getting paid for next year. I believe he's getting paid because he's still on contract for them.

190
00:16:16,000 --> 00:16:20,000
That being said I think he'll take the year off. He'll probably take the year off.

191
00:16:20,000 --> 00:16:26,000
Then it's interesting to see what he'll do after that. Milan returns home.

192
00:16:26,000 --> 00:16:31,000
I'm not sure how I feel about that but he's definitely a good manager.

193
00:16:31,000 --> 00:16:37,000
He's definitely effective. Let's put it that way. I want to highlight Cambiasso. It's easy to highlight Gatti.

194
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:43,000
I could go on about Gatti but I feel like they could go back to last episode if our opinion hasn't changed.

195
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:48,000
It actually proves our opinion even more but Cambiasso on the right, fantastic.

196
00:16:48,000 --> 00:16:52,000
Cambiasso on the left, fantastic as well but I think this really shows his versatility.

197
00:16:52,000 --> 00:16:56,000
The young man was a smart acquisition by you.

198
00:16:56,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Of course. I believe he was out on loan at Bologna and I think he learned a lot working with Thiago Motta.

199
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:08,000
He's only 23 years old and these performances he's putting in can really make a mistake in this Juve squad.

200
00:17:08,000 --> 00:17:13,000
Perhaps not in the starting 11 if they were to reinforce but his future is definitely bright

201
00:17:13,000 --> 00:17:17,000
and he's definitely an effective player going forward and even defensively.

202
00:17:17,000 --> 00:17:22,000
I think that once Wea is back into the team, he'll start right back.

203
00:17:22,000 --> 00:17:27,000
I think Cambiasso takes Kostich's place on the left. Kostich has been really...

204
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:29,000
One-dimensional.

205
00:17:29,000 --> 00:17:36,000
One-dimensional and he's just not tidy at all man. He's not tidy at all. He's often caught out of position.

206
00:17:36,000 --> 00:17:40,000
He often loses possession himself.

207
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:47,000
Be it he's trying to take on his man or he's trying a bit of an ambitious pass or he gets the routine pass wrong.

208
00:17:47,000 --> 00:17:52,000
And he's on their fire at the moment, Philip Kostich.

209
00:17:52,000 --> 00:17:57,000
And I think Cambiasso is raising the standard for what that position needs to be.

210
00:17:57,000 --> 00:18:02,000
To be honest, it's between them two. Then there's Alexandro and Elin Jr.

211
00:18:02,000 --> 00:18:07,000
Elin Jr. isn't given the light of day by Allegri probably because of his defensive contribution.

212
00:18:07,000 --> 00:18:11,000
And Alexandro's position is gone.

213
00:18:11,000 --> 00:18:13,000
If he plays left back, he can swing.

214
00:18:13,000 --> 00:18:18,000
If he's not caught most left centre back, to be honest, it leaves a lot to be desired.

215
00:18:18,000 --> 00:18:23,000
So Cambiasso really has the opportunity to rack up some minutes this season.

216
00:18:23,000 --> 00:18:25,000
I agree.

217
00:18:25,000 --> 00:18:29,000
Yvonnext up, they have...

218
00:18:29,000 --> 00:18:35,000
They have Genoa and Frozinone, which are a few softer fixtures obviously after the recent run that they had.

219
00:18:35,000 --> 00:18:40,000
They played Inter, they played Napoli. They've had a couple of tough fixtures.

220
00:18:40,000 --> 00:18:46,000
They could have it a bit easier over there. One thing that impresses me about you is that they've played the majority of the big dogs.

221
00:18:46,000 --> 00:18:51,000
I believe they played five of them. They won three and they drew two.

222
00:18:51,000 --> 00:18:57,000
They beat Milan. They beat Napoli. They drew two Inter.

223
00:18:57,000 --> 00:19:02,000
Against the top seven, they've had a fantastic run, which is something they didn't have last season.

224
00:19:02,000 --> 00:19:07,000
That's it. And you see, for example, you watch the Juvent Milan game.

225
00:19:07,000 --> 00:19:11,000
You think they won. It was a weird game. Milan got a red card, whatever.

226
00:19:11,000 --> 00:19:17,000
You watch the game against Atalanta or whoever they play. They can't remember right now.

227
00:19:17,000 --> 00:19:24,000
But every game they seem to win is by fine margins and it doesn't really stick with you because it's unmemorable and it's unremarkable.

228
00:19:24,000 --> 00:19:32,000
However, when you look at the grand scheme of things and you look at the fact that these guys have already played most of the big teams and not even lost once to them, that's massive.

229
00:19:32,000 --> 00:19:40,000
That's pure alegrismo. They're unbeaten in 10 games. How do they go on a streak like this every fucking season?

230
00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:50,000
Keep in mind, because this team isn't playing Champions League, which is obviously a massive kind of plus for their squad, their fitness, so on and so forth.

231
00:19:50,000 --> 00:19:56,000
Even their focus. But they got second last season.

232
00:19:56,000 --> 00:19:58,000
Yeah, on the pitch they had second last season.

233
00:19:58,000 --> 00:20:05,000
On the pitch they had second. Absolutely. So it's not like this was unexpected. This is a team that came out of nowhere.

234
00:20:05,000 --> 00:20:11,000
In our pre-season prediction episode I had Juve to win the league.

235
00:20:11,000 --> 00:20:20,000
And to be honest, I'm not backing away from that. I know you were an interser, you're a super team at the moment.

236
00:20:20,000 --> 00:20:24,000
But it's difficult to see this Juve losing.

237
00:20:24,000 --> 00:20:30,000
And the next games can be quite telling. As you said, Juve has a bit of an easier run.

238
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:37,000
While Inter need to take on Lazio away from home, who are a bit of a bogey team for them, Lazio seem to give them quite a few problems.

239
00:20:37,000 --> 00:20:43,000
And then after that they have Lecce at home. And Lecce are quite a bitch of a team.

240
00:20:43,000 --> 00:20:48,000
So these two match days coming up can really shift the tides in the table.

241
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:50,000
You know what Inter have that Juve don't, bro?

242
00:20:50,000 --> 00:20:58,000
Depth. Well, not even. But their inters ability to get a goal is like no other team.

243
00:20:58,000 --> 00:21:00,000
They're like Naapoli last season.

244
00:21:00,000 --> 00:21:06,000
But it's not like Juve struggle dude. The problem is they don't push for it as much for Juve.

245
00:21:06,000 --> 00:21:11,000
But whenever Juve need a goal, man, they get it. Look at the Monza game. They need the goal, they had like 30 seconds left.

246
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:14,000
Don't you think it takes them a bit more effort to get a goal than Inter?

247
00:21:14,000 --> 00:21:21,000
It takes them specific situations. They need dead ball situations to get a goal.

248
00:21:21,000 --> 00:21:27,000
Inter from open play will pass the ball around 25 times, play a through ball, Miquittarian with the out step.

249
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:33,000
The ball is freaking spinning like a disco ball. And it comes to the run, just has to literally like knee it into the back of the net.

250
00:21:33,000 --> 00:21:38,000
You know, they're super at creating goals out of nothing. They're a fantastic offensive side.

251
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:40,000
And that's a 3-5-2. It's crazy.

252
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:48,000
And this Juve have a different approach. This Juve rely on corners, set pieces, routines, crosses out wide,

253
00:21:48,000 --> 00:21:53,000
costig spamming 7 crosses into the box till eventually one of them goes in, sent their backs going up and scoring.

254
00:21:53,000 --> 00:21:55,000
You know how it is with them.

255
00:21:55,000 --> 00:21:59,000
Just a couple more things before we move on, because I know I've been on this for a while.

256
00:21:59,000 --> 00:22:12,000
Ossiman's gesture to the Juve fans, they were cheering him a bit and he showed them the 5-1 last season, which is obviously the score.

257
00:22:12,000 --> 00:22:14,000
What do you think of that?

258
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:23,000
So at first I'm like, because Juve had just gone first with that victory and now they had gone down to fifth.

259
00:22:23,000 --> 00:22:25,000
So I'm like, it's this guy.

260
00:22:25,000 --> 00:22:27,000
We're fifth and you're first?

261
00:22:27,000 --> 00:22:29,000
What do you say?

262
00:22:29,000 --> 00:22:31,000
But now they're second and sixth.

263
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:33,000
So I don't think so.

264
00:22:33,000 --> 00:22:46,000
Salty, clearly letting respect ossiman, obviously, but I think when you show a reaction like that and you're gloating about the past,

265
00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:56,000
it's so irrelevant. It's such an irrelevant argument that you beat them 5-1 last season because you were just there and you lost.

266
00:22:56,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Yes, but perhaps he is reminding them that maybe we had a bad day, look what we did to you.

267
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:10,000
The fans were giving him a lot of stick and he gave them some back. It's natural.

268
00:23:10,000 --> 00:23:13,000
I just think it shows a bit of saltiness.

269
00:23:13,000 --> 00:23:17,000
Yes, it does. No, totally. He's definitely bitter.

270
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:20,000
He's won the African Player of the Year, what is it?

271
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:26,000
I mean, it's all surprising he had one hell of a season last season.

272
00:23:26,000 --> 00:23:32,000
But I think we can move on from that, not without a quick round of applause for Wojciech Szczesny,

273
00:23:32,000 --> 00:23:40,000
even though naturally he did make a mistake that could have caused Nalpolity to equalize, but that was offside.

274
00:23:40,000 --> 00:23:43,000
They spared him some blushes over there.

275
00:23:43,000 --> 00:23:50,000
Juve are in second, just two points behind Inter, really putting the pressure on over there. Wow.

276
00:23:50,000 --> 00:23:58,000
I just noticed Inter's goal difference is a positive 30. That's fucking ridiculous, man.

277
00:23:58,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Nalpolity in sixth on 24 points, Jesus Christ, there are 14 points behind League leaders Inter.

278
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:15,000
And last season Milan had the worst title defence ever, so we'll see if Nalpolity can take that a year later.

279
00:24:15,000 --> 00:24:17,000
So far they're out doing that.

280
00:24:17,000 --> 00:24:25,000
But to be honest, their tough run, Nalpolity has come to an end and maybe now is the time for them to really settle and start to put some things together,

281
00:24:25,000 --> 00:24:27,000
start to find themselves a bit more.

282
00:24:27,000 --> 00:24:32,000
But yeah, we can move on to Atalanta, three Milan, two bro.

283
00:24:32,000 --> 00:24:34,000
We can skip it if you want.

284
00:24:34,000 --> 00:24:42,000
I wouldn't be opposed to that. For Atalanta it was the usual 3-4-1-2. For Milan it was kind of the 4-3-3 thing they've been doing.

285
00:24:42,000 --> 00:24:49,000
When you look at the heat map, it's all over the place, like what's happening is Theo Hernandez really playing two positions and Weissflur and Cip playing right under his ass.

286
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:57,000
For Atalanta it was basically business as usual, this time with Martin Der Ruhn stepping in at centre back as he has been doing.

287
00:24:57,000 --> 00:25:03,000
Due to their injury crisis over there, he was with Jim City and Scalvini at the back.

288
00:25:03,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Boopminers was in the Czech artista position and Decay Talare and Lukman started up front together for Milan.

289
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:21,000
It was Samuel Chouqués starting out on the right, Moussa starting in the middle with Reindersen, Loftis Cric and of course Florentine left back and Theo in centre back, as has been the case recently.

290
00:25:21,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Of course, once again, Leão still injured, not really needed back.

291
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:27,000
He was meant to be in the squad and he wasn't even called up.

292
00:25:27,000 --> 00:25:32,000
He's apparently back for the Champions League fixture tomorrow, or today if you're listening to this in the future.

293
00:25:32,000 --> 00:25:39,000
My prediction is that Milan beat Newcastle, but the other game ends in a draw, so Milan don't go through.

294
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:41,000
Milan need Dortmund to win, because they're already through.

295
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:45,000
Milan need Dortmund to win, so hopefully Dortmund prioritise first place.

296
00:25:45,000 --> 00:25:49,000
Look, bro, what are Thursday nights?

297
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:54,000
Thursday nights are Europa nights.

298
00:25:54,000 --> 00:25:55,000
Fucking, we move.

299
00:25:55,000 --> 00:25:57,000
Bring it on, bring it on.

300
00:25:57,000 --> 00:26:02,000
Yes, bro, this game was an intense back and forth struggle, to be honest.

301
00:26:02,000 --> 00:26:07,000
It was an emotional rollercoaster and it really showed Atalanta's resilience.

302
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:12,000
And that back-heel strike by Mouriel in the 95th minute really sealed the deal for Atalanta.

303
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:16,000
The celebration had me chewing the remote.

304
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:21,000
It was running in circles, flailing his wrists around.

305
00:26:21,000 --> 00:26:23,000
I can't believe I've just done that.

306
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:25,000
I can't believe I've just done that.

307
00:26:25,000 --> 00:26:27,000
You couldn't believe it.

308
00:26:27,000 --> 00:26:35,000
The match kicked off with Lukman netting for Atalanta and then Giroud had the response with a header on a corner.

309
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Lukman's goal was a weird deflection that saw Maniand diving out of the way, deflected off Tomori and found its way into the back of the net.

310
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:52,000
Milan responded twice to Atalanta's lead, however there was a pivotal moment when Keita Lari, bro, was played a ball right in front of goal.

311
00:26:52,000 --> 00:27:01,000
He had an empty net right in front of him and he managed to sky it somehow and pretty much summed up his entire time at Milan against Milan.

312
00:27:01,000 --> 00:27:08,000
I was obviously glad that he didn't score that but you can't just help feel bad for him.

313
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:14,000
He's got such a sad face, you know what I mean? His eyebrows are always like...

314
00:27:14,000 --> 00:27:16,000
And even seeing him head in hands.

315
00:27:16,000 --> 00:27:23,000
And it's clear that he's suffering with his confidence because every time he does anything, everyone celebrates.

316
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:34,000
It reminds me of that game last season where Milan fans were so desperate and tired of waiting for Keita Lari to do something that they started chanting his name randomly just to give him some hope.

317
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000
And I believe he lost the ball. The second they started chanting, he lost the ball.

318
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:44,000
I think there were laughs, if I recall, like you hear laughter in the stands. That's actually it's traumatic.

319
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:47,000
Not to forget that Milan are still his parent club.

320
00:27:47,000 --> 00:27:52,000
And it was actually him who set up the second goal for Atalanta.

321
00:27:52,000 --> 00:27:57,000
He crossed the ball into Lukman who smashed it in and everyone literally pointed to him.

322
00:27:57,000 --> 00:28:02,000
They went running up to the Keita Lari, they hugged him, they congratulated him, whatever.

323
00:28:02,000 --> 00:28:12,000
Shortly after that Benassir was brought on. Jovic as well brought on to try to salvage the result.

324
00:28:12,000 --> 00:28:18,000
Eventually the ball was squared to Jovic by Pulisic who slotted it home. The man's on form right now for Milan.

325
00:28:18,000 --> 00:28:20,000
Keep it up, keep it up, keep it up.

326
00:28:20,000 --> 00:28:22,000
I'd like to see that.

327
00:28:22,000 --> 00:28:29,000
But then eventually at the end of the game Calabria decided to drop a man in midfield stupidly.

328
00:28:29,000 --> 00:28:31,000
I don't know what the hell he was thinking about.

329
00:28:31,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Oh but man, there were like, there were fucking five minutes left.

330
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:38,000
Yes, but why? Why? Why?

331
00:28:38,000 --> 00:28:40,000
There are five minutes left, you're pushing for a winner.

332
00:28:40,000 --> 00:28:46,000
But I don't think it was perfect. It was a, he clearly went for the ball, missed it, got the man.

333
00:28:46,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Oh but it was so clumsy and reckless man. Like he should have, he's no longer a young player.

334
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
But let us not allow him to be scapegoated for this.

335
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:58,000
No, no, no, no, no, no, no, no, definitely not, definitely not.

336
00:28:58,000 --> 00:29:03,000
But that was definitely a stupid thing to do.

337
00:29:03,000 --> 00:29:09,000
If you're the captain of Milan and you're meant to be leading by example and you're meant to be leading the charge to the finish line,

338
00:29:09,000 --> 00:29:11,000
what else do you expect your captain to do?

339
00:29:11,000 --> 00:29:18,000
Is to go in recklessly in midfield on a counter attack that, you know, that okay, it's dangerous, but it wasn't,

340
00:29:18,000 --> 00:29:20,000
it didn't look like it had the potential to lead to a goal.

341
00:29:20,000 --> 00:29:22,000
It wasn't a clear goal scoring opportunity.

342
00:29:22,000 --> 00:29:28,000
And I love Calabria, you know, Calabria is a staple of what it means to be a Milan player coming up from the youth system,

343
00:29:28,000 --> 00:29:38,000
going through the shit show that was the banter era and earning the captain's arm band and playing pretty solidly recently.

344
00:29:38,000 --> 00:29:42,000
You should have lifted this area trophy for Milan.

345
00:29:42,000 --> 00:29:47,000
And speaking on scapegoating Calabria, by the way, there are people on Twitter right now saying,

346
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:51,000
oh, because he threw the arm band at the end and there's a frozen image of his face,

347
00:29:51,000 --> 00:29:56,000
and I'm tossing the arm and he literally passed the arm band too purely.

348
00:29:56,000 --> 00:29:58,000
Like he has passed it, he tossed it to him gently.

349
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:00,000
You see the video, like he's just tossing it gently.

350
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:03,000
At the time, I can't see if he was even thinking about the arm band.

351
00:30:03,000 --> 00:30:05,000
What kind of captain is this?

352
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:08,000
Like what else does this guy have to prove to you that he's Milan through and through?

353
00:30:08,000 --> 00:30:12,000
Like that's something I won't ever question with Calabria.

354
00:30:12,000 --> 00:30:14,000
It's just that decision, man.

355
00:30:14,000 --> 00:30:18,000
His decision making sometimes is woeful and that was horrible.

356
00:30:18,000 --> 00:30:24,000
And that's what eventually cost Milan because suddenly you've got a depleted defense and you're a man down.

357
00:30:24,000 --> 00:30:29,000
And you've got these guys running at you, Atalanta, who are breaking Milan down so systematically with their passes.

358
00:30:29,000 --> 00:30:34,000
It was almost like they knew exactly where the gaps were going to be, man.

359
00:30:34,000 --> 00:30:38,000
It's Calvin, he's charging, he takes a player out of place and he passed the ball into the space.

360
00:30:38,000 --> 00:30:41,000
They were picking the defenders out one by one, passing their way to the ball.

361
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:43,000
How does everyone else beat this team?

362
00:30:43,000 --> 00:30:45,000
Because when Milan come up against them, it's like...

363
00:30:45,000 --> 00:30:47,000
Maybe they have their defenders available.

364
00:30:47,000 --> 00:30:49,000
That's probably it.

365
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:56,000
But yes, that fantastic bit of improvisation by Mirantio and Muriel at the end of the game was just incredible.

366
00:30:56,000 --> 00:31:00,000
And it was a deserved victory, to be honest, by Atalanta.

367
00:31:00,000 --> 00:31:08,000
I thought so, they were always in the driver's seat, man. Like Milan clearly had to up a gear in order to match the performance of Atalanta over here.

368
00:31:08,000 --> 00:31:14,000
Shout out to their fans who were fucking insane during this match, man.

369
00:31:14,000 --> 00:31:18,000
And I don't know if you noticed, they're expanding the jealous sort of game.

370
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,000
Of course, it's behind Mike's goal in the first half that was rather quiet.

371
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:24,000
It's under construction.

372
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:27,000
Rather quiet, it was dead like obviously.

373
00:31:27,000 --> 00:31:34,000
They're going to increase their stadium capacity and that's a pretty good thing because Atalanta actually do have quite the following.

374
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:36,000
Yeah, yeah.

375
00:31:36,000 --> 00:31:40,000
But yeah, I don't know if there's anything else you want to add from this nightmare of a game.

376
00:31:40,000 --> 00:31:44,000
I mean, I think you know what I'm going to say.

377
00:31:44,000 --> 00:31:46,000
I think you know what I'm going to say.

378
00:31:46,000 --> 00:31:47,000
Naturally.

379
00:31:47,000 --> 00:31:52,000
So firstly, Atalanta really rose to the occasion. Gasperini loves playing Milan.

380
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:57,000
Gasperini goes into a game with Milan. It's like, if you lose this game, I'm going to beat the shit out of all of you.

381
00:31:57,000 --> 00:31:59,000
I'm going to do what I did to Popo.

382
00:31:59,000 --> 00:32:03,000
Exactly. That's the way he goes into this.

383
00:32:03,000 --> 00:32:06,000
Scalvini again, again. Scalvini.

384
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:14,000
That just one particular moment where he is always rushing up the pitch button in such a calculated manner.

385
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:16,000
He's like an arrow running up the pitch.

386
00:32:16,000 --> 00:32:18,000
He runs in this straight line.

387
00:32:18,000 --> 00:32:20,000
He drags a defender with him.

388
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:27,000
If not, he's in space and he just adds turmoil and he's so quick at tracking back to get back in position.

389
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:32,000
And typically most of the time, doesn't matter when the runs in midfield, you see him tracking back.

390
00:32:32,000 --> 00:32:36,000
If not Edison, if not Ruggieri, if not Pasalic.

391
00:32:36,000 --> 00:32:42,000
He has been in recent performances, slightly suspect defensively granted. He's only 20 years old.

392
00:32:42,000 --> 00:32:48,000
However, everything I've seen from this guy is just crazy.

393
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:51,000
It's a ceiling and the way he inserts it.

394
00:32:51,000 --> 00:32:55,000
I know which moment you're talking about. It was before Manian's fantastic double save.

395
00:32:55,000 --> 00:33:04,000
He needs to be addressed because Lukman could have had a hat trick, but Manian literally saved one of Scalvini's shots after Scalvini double tackled before he wound the shot.

396
00:33:04,000 --> 00:33:10,000
And then Lukman had pretty much an open net and Manian sprung to life to save that.

397
00:33:10,000 --> 00:33:17,000
And that's what a goalkeeper like Manian can give you. He's absolutely fantastic. It's undeniable.

398
00:33:17,000 --> 00:33:27,000
I also want to highlight the fact that people criticize Piolli for not introducing new signings and young players into the squad sooner.

399
00:33:27,000 --> 00:33:32,000
It's a criticism of Piolli.

400
00:33:32,000 --> 00:33:35,000
Yeah, like bringing off Chouquets and the last five.

401
00:33:35,000 --> 00:33:38,000
Of course, exactly. Taking so long. Where's Adli been? Where's Adli been?

402
00:33:38,000 --> 00:33:48,000
If you look at the trackers and the runners back on each and every one of these Atalanta goals, Chouquets and Adli were responsible for marking their man in the last two goals.

403
00:33:48,000 --> 00:33:56,000
And they just didn't follow through. And that comes with tactical awareness, tactical discipline and willing to defend and put your foot out for the team.

404
00:33:56,000 --> 00:34:07,000
And it's clear that sometimes they're not as well-drilled and it does take time to settle into a football team and to know what your role is to really understand the goal.

405
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:16,000
I think so. Moussa being the only midfielder that got a full 90 minutes in this game. What have you made of Moussa so far?

406
00:34:16,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Look, I'm...

407
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:23,000
Because Adli and Ben Nasser came on for tricks and dry indigestion.

408
00:34:23,000 --> 00:34:33,000
By the way, two unused substitutes in midfield probably thanks to every single Milan fans and addressing their concerns.

409
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:37,000
Kronich and Pobega warmed the bench for the entire 90 minutes.

410
00:34:37,000 --> 00:34:43,000
Yeah, and purely did actually say himself that Kronich isn't having a good moment at the moment.

411
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:46,000
And Pobega, let's be real, he's...

412
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,000
He's limited.

413
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:56,000
He's limited, yes. He's suffering a little bit as well when it comes to confidence. He hasn't really found himself at all.

414
00:34:56,000 --> 00:35:02,000
He loses the ball a bit too much, quite frankly. I like the player, I like what he can do. I appreciate his style.

415
00:35:02,000 --> 00:35:07,000
Perhaps I think this is a little bit too high for him as a level at the moment. I think he could benefit from another loan personally.

416
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:10,000
Yeah, I think so. But Moussa, what do you say?

417
00:35:10,000 --> 00:35:14,000
Moussa, yes, for me, is an interesting hybrid, right?

418
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:20,000
I kind of like when I see him out wide. I don't mind it. I don't hate it when I see him out wide.

419
00:35:20,000 --> 00:35:28,000
I think he's built almost to be a winger and a 4-4-2. I feel like that's almost his best position.

420
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:38,000
I like that he's quite technically gifted. To be honest, he's only 21 years old, so his ceiling isn't that worrisome.

421
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:46,000
He's doing fine. This is his first season in Italy and he hasn't blown me away, but he hasn't disappointed me at all.

422
00:35:46,000 --> 00:35:52,000
He brings something. It's mainly industry and speed and midfield.

423
00:35:52,000 --> 00:35:54,000
And a splash of technique.

424
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:00,000
I think Ryan, to me, has been quite disappointing over the last five matches.

425
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:05,000
Yes and no, because his skill set and his ability is clear to see that he's a good player.

426
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:16,000
It's his attitude that's disappointed me. His unwillingness to pass the ball in the final third and to really pick out a teammate when he should.

427
00:36:16,000 --> 00:36:21,000
If he has a sight on goal, the guy's going to shoot. He's really, really, really thinking about himself.

428
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,000
And that's not good.

429
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
Shall we move on to Inter-Odenezer?

430
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Inter put on a spectacular display against Odenezer. Odenezer's only victory is in the San Siro against Milan this season.

431
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:41,000
And then you have this game where everyone on their mother scores.

432
00:36:41,000 --> 00:36:47,000
Exactly. This is the second time they visited the San Siro and both went very different ways naturally.

433
00:36:47,000 --> 00:36:55,000
A foreign victory to go back in first after Juve's momentary overtake.

434
00:36:55,000 --> 00:36:59,000
I'm aiming so much. I'm going to stop.

435
00:36:59,000 --> 00:37:05,000
Inter had Bastoni back, but they missed Dumfries, Devrai and Pavard.

436
00:37:05,000 --> 00:37:09,000
Meaning the back three consisted of Bisseq, Acerbi and Bastoni.

437
00:37:09,000 --> 00:37:17,000
Whilst the army played as a right wing back after often recently being used as a right centre back because of their injuries.

438
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:27,000
Whereas Odenezer, they still had Bijol, Davis, Delafoe, Semedo, Brenner and Ebosse on the treatment table.

439
00:37:27,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Now the floodgates opened in the 30th minute when Cialenoglu converted a penalty after New Imperius fouled Lautaro Martinez in the box.

440
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:39,000
That's six penalties out of six this season for Cialenoglu.

441
00:37:39,000 --> 00:37:48,000
The Marco double the lead five minutes later with an angled drive across the goalkeeper, Marco Silvestri, into the far bottom corner.

442
00:37:48,000 --> 00:37:53,000
That's his typical outside of the boot shot that drives across goal.

443
00:37:53,000 --> 00:38:00,000
The onslaught continued as Turram added a third goal just before halftime, finishing off a 21 pass build up.

444
00:38:00,000 --> 00:38:06,000
This always scoring after over 20 passes to run with a tap in following a brilliant McItharion ball.

445
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:11,000
To be honest, really should have been picked up by a defender, but great ball nonetheless.

446
00:38:11,000 --> 00:38:21,000
Now by halftime Inter had 76% possession, 15 attempts on goal to Odenezer's two and they had a commanding three in a lead.

447
00:38:21,000 --> 00:38:24,000
In the second half they continued to control the game.

448
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:30,000
They had a goal disallowed for offside at a point and Summer made a couple of routine saves to keep the clean sheet.

449
00:38:30,000 --> 00:38:42,000
Lautaro Martinez put the final stamp on the victory with a powerful strike from outside the box in the 84th minute after winning the ball back from midfield and bringing the ball up himself.

450
00:38:42,000 --> 00:38:45,000
I mean, what the hell are you gonna say?

451
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:46,000
What? What? What? What?

452
00:38:46,000 --> 00:38:48,000
They absolutely destroyed them. Everyone was brilliant.

453
00:38:48,000 --> 00:39:00,000
Bissec stepped in and looked amazing. Darmion, shift transition so naturally and gracefully from centre back to right wing back, whatever.

454
00:39:00,000 --> 00:39:01,000
He was amazing.

455
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:04,000
Shalano Glu pulling the strings, McItharion showing that he can still get assist.

456
00:39:04,000 --> 00:39:11,000
DeMarco highlighting his prowess, Lautaro still on course to break 30 plus goals a season and how.

457
00:39:11,000 --> 00:39:18,000
Ktoram showing that he's probably the coupe of the season, free signing coming in and just fitting in so effortlessly.

458
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Apart from this.

459
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:22,000
And the centre team is just incredible.

460
00:39:22,000 --> 00:39:29,000
The Odenezer team is not an easy team to beat and they've drawn so many games against big teams and they've even beaten Milan.

461
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:31,000
They're not a pushover team.

462
00:39:31,000 --> 00:39:35,000
Inter, Inter kill a team in five minutes. That's what they do.

463
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:41,000
It's what they did to Milan and the Champions League. It's what they often do. They get the majority of their goal.

464
00:39:41,000 --> 00:39:44,000
They smell, they're like sharks. They smell like a stun grenade.

465
00:39:44,000 --> 00:39:46,000
Exactly and they attack, attack, attack, attack, attack like here.

466
00:39:46,000 --> 00:39:51,000
You see the first goal by Shalano Glu, 37th minute. The third goal, 44th minute.

467
00:39:51,000 --> 00:39:53,000
37, 42, 44.

468
00:39:53,000 --> 00:39:59,000
Like how does it, like look at that. Yeah, you score in the 37th minute, the first goal of the game and you go into half time winning three in a...

469
00:39:59,000 --> 00:40:01,000
That's fucking crazy, man.

470
00:40:01,000 --> 00:40:02,000
That's crazy.

471
00:40:02,000 --> 00:40:10,000
They're a really good man and I think they are a sleeper pick for possibly even Champions League winners.

472
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:12,000
Yes man, yes they're there.

473
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:16,000
Because there aren't as many commanding teams at the moment in world football now.

474
00:40:16,000 --> 00:40:25,000
I don't think that if they were to go up against Bayern Munich, Real Madrid, Manchester City, whatever, that'd be favourites at all.

475
00:40:25,000 --> 00:40:28,000
They're definitely going to be the underdogs but that's what they want.

476
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:29,000
Yeah, yeah.

477
00:40:29,000 --> 00:40:30,000
That's what they want, man.

478
00:40:30,000 --> 00:40:32,000
They try to do something.

479
00:40:32,000 --> 00:40:37,000
I enjoy watching Inter play so much. I enjoy watching Inter play so much, man.

480
00:40:37,000 --> 00:40:38,000
I can't say the same.

481
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:42,000
I mean it sucks obviously, man, but I like to watch football as a bit of a new feature.

482
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:49,000
Especially if Inter play Sunday, Milan play Saturday and Milan have won their game and then it's Inter and they're just killing it.

483
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:59,000
It's just crazy how we're so used to, in recent times, whenever Milan had a team that's ahead of them in the table,

484
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:05,000
drop points, Milan would seem to fumble or they'd hardly get across the line, right?

485
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:10,000
You look at Inter, man. Juventus pulled off a statement victory.

486
00:41:10,000 --> 00:41:13,000
They're up against the Neese and they smashed them four nil.

487
00:41:13,000 --> 00:41:16,000
Things don't get to them. These guys are soldiers.

488
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:20,000
I want to highlight the return of Bastoni.

489
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:27,000
Kind of forget what a great centre back this guy is because he's been out for a while.

490
00:41:27,000 --> 00:41:33,000
And much like Scalvin, he's a ball playing centre back in back three.

491
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:40,000
He's back with 96% passing accuracy. He had a key pass and five successful long balls.

492
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:48,000
We were talking about how Inter's defenders and said themselves in the midfield and I think this guy, he's the one that can do it best for Inter.

493
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:49,000
Of course.

494
00:41:49,000 --> 00:41:51,000
Of course, I think we did it while he was gone.

495
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:53,000
Yes, he was charging up and down.

496
00:41:53,000 --> 00:42:00,000
But Bastoni's got them legs and he could instantly dart into the attacking third.

497
00:42:00,000 --> 00:42:11,000
Bro, it's a great thing that Scalvini is at Atalanta because Inter could easily sell Bastoni for like fucking 40, 50 million.

498
00:42:11,000 --> 00:42:16,000
And then if Scalvini was at anyone else but Atalanta, poach him for 20,000.

499
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:18,000
No, Scalvini needs to come to Milan.

500
00:42:18,000 --> 00:42:20,000
Scalvini needs to come to Milan.

501
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Scalvini, bro, isn't going anywhere for under 40 million euros because he's owned by Atalanta and Atalanta know how to run business.

502
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:27,000
That's what they understand.

503
00:42:27,000 --> 00:42:35,000
That's Scalvini is Italian. Scalvini is young and he's got many minutes under his belt. That's a 30, 40 million euro player.

504
00:42:35,000 --> 00:42:37,000
And he's so cute, bro.

505
00:42:37,000 --> 00:42:48,000
I hope he doesn't get an injury because the way he tosses himself into these situations and he's just 19, wait, but this is Inter.

506
00:42:48,000 --> 00:42:51,000
Bro's got a crush.

507
00:42:51,000 --> 00:42:59,000
Lautaro, like, I thought he hadn't scored in a couple of games, you know what I mean?

508
00:42:59,000 --> 00:43:01,000
But that's his 14th goal in 15 matches.

509
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:10,000
Bro, who just fucking won the ball back in midfield, charged it up, he's like, fuck it, I'm shooting from distance and he obviously got the fourth goal over there.

510
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:14,000
Every Lautaro celebration is immaculate.

511
00:43:14,000 --> 00:43:15,000
Yes.

512
00:43:15,000 --> 00:43:24,000
He like rises on the stands, opens his arms, the fans are like right in his face, banging his teammates around and it seems to take longer than other players' celebrations.

513
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:30,000
It's almost like Lautaro is the embodiment of the Sinter team.

514
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

515
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:36,000
He's almost immaculate. He's a godly figure almost at the moment.

516
00:43:36,000 --> 00:43:37,000
He's the face of the team.

517
00:43:37,000 --> 00:43:42,000
He is, man. Wow. His form has been stupendous and apparently he's going to renew.

518
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Madonna, man. He's going to be one of the fucking legends of this entity.

519
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:53,000
If he gets a second scudetto for them, especially man, and obviously they have a Champions League final with him.

520
00:43:53,000 --> 00:43:55,000
I can't believe I agree.

521
00:43:55,000 --> 00:43:56,000
He could.

522
00:43:56,000 --> 00:44:01,000
No, bro, fucking Graham Potter as well apparently.

523
00:44:01,000 --> 00:44:02,000
Graham Potter.

524
00:44:02,000 --> 00:44:07,000
Who played a lovely brand of football at Brighton before the Zerbi.

525
00:44:07,000 --> 00:44:10,000
Brighton were doing great with Graham Potter before the Zerbi.

526
00:44:10,000 --> 00:44:14,000
They ended shit with Chelsea and everyone does shit with Chelsea.

527
00:44:14,000 --> 00:44:20,000
But anyway, Inter, first, a goal difference of 30, which is mad obviously.

528
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Odineza 17th, level on points with Empoli in 18th. They're in trouble.

529
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:26,000
They're in trouble.

530
00:44:26,000 --> 00:44:31,000
Yeah, and it's weird because they have a good team.

531
00:44:31,000 --> 00:44:36,000
The problem is they didn't get many wins, right? They started off really badly and they were drawing every game.

532
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:43,000
So Choffee needs to try to piece the things together again. Samardzic over here, by the way, he played against Inter.

533
00:44:43,000 --> 00:44:47,000
He pretty much signed for last summer.

534
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:49,000
By the way, bro, Lorenzo Luka goal next week.

535
00:44:49,000 --> 00:44:50,000
Yes.

536
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:55,000
I'm telling you from now. He's going to score for sure. Let me tell you who they're playing against because I can feel Sasuolo, bro.

537
00:44:55,000 --> 00:44:56,000
It's going to happen.

538
00:44:56,000 --> 00:44:57,000
Lorenzo Luka goal?

539
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Lorenzo Luka goal against Sasuolo.

540
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Then this time actually play him on Fanta.

541
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:06,000
I'm going to get two goals and he's on your bench.

542
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Now, we can, I think, discuss the Roma won Fiorentina one game.

543
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:15,000
Yes, a boxing match. This was.

544
00:45:15,000 --> 00:45:20,000
It was an absolute boxing match, one of the many this week.

545
00:45:20,000 --> 00:45:25,000
Roma looked to be perhaps not full strength, but pretty much there.

546
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:32,000
They had Lukaku and Dabala up front. They had Christensen, who has been awarded another start off with that brilliant performance.

547
00:45:32,000 --> 00:45:33,000
As we predicted.

548
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,000
Yep. Zalewski out on the left.

549
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:39,000
Men and usual three at the back of Mancini, Lorenzo and Indica.

550
00:45:39,000 --> 00:45:44,000
One of the three Christensen's in Serie A and they all play on the right.

551
00:45:44,000 --> 00:45:48,000
And that's so confusing, right? Which is your favorite one?

552
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:54,000
I did this one. I like this one. Lachos is good as well, but he hasn't quite cemented himself.

553
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:57,000
The Bologna one's lost for now, because he really hasn't shown anything.

554
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:59,000
He's coming up.

555
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:01,000
But this one's my favorite.

556
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Yeah, this one's a workhorse. It's fun to work.

557
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:06,000
This one, this Chris over here.

558
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:12,000
But yes, Fiorentina was in Bala and Zola up front. Lord knows why.

559
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:20,000
Bonaventura in the pocket, of course, with Duncan and Arthur in the religious position, the double pivot.

560
00:46:20,000 --> 00:46:25,000
And Cahio they started on the right as the right back, who's a very promising player.

561
00:46:25,000 --> 00:46:28,000
Yeah, Luc Caranieri was at centre-back, because they...

562
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:33,000
I think Melenković must have not been fully fit, because Melenković was on the bench

563
00:46:33,000 --> 00:46:36,000
and he actually got sent off from the bench and he was against me on fantasy football.

564
00:46:36,000 --> 00:46:37,000
That's crazy.

565
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:39,000
Yeah, it didn't go through.

566
00:46:39,000 --> 00:46:40,000
But anyway.

567
00:46:40,000 --> 00:46:41,000
Can I ask you a question for the Bologna team?

568
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:46,000
Where's Nico Gonzalez? Is it happening again?

569
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:49,000
Is he once again emotionally unavailable?

570
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,000
No, he came on. He came on this game.

571
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,000
I'm sure it was a tactical decision or maybe I don't know, he hadn't...

572
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:59,000
Tactical against Roma. They keep here. They're struggling for goals.

573
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:07,000
Honestly, honestly, honestly, if Carlyari can keep Lovumbo on the bench for 65 minutes in a one, in a must-win match,

574
00:47:07,000 --> 00:47:09,000
and they keep the likes of...

575
00:47:09,000 --> 00:47:13,000
Okay, maybe you tell me Pavoletti always scores at the end and he doesn't have a full 90 minutes in him.

576
00:47:13,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Okay, so they have Pavoletti, Petania, Lovumbo, Eldor, Shomorodov, all starting on the bench.

577
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,000
Then clearly there's something about an impact sub, right?

578
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:28,000
Because you bring on Nico Gonzalez into a game where everyone's been running for 70 minutes

579
00:47:28,000 --> 00:47:33,000
and suddenly you're introducing this rabid dog of a South American...

580
00:47:33,000 --> 00:47:40,000
Yeah, he's aggressive, bro. And he presses and he fights for every ball and he's good in the air.

581
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:44,000
So maybe it's not the worst idea to bring him on late into the game.

582
00:47:44,000 --> 00:47:46,000
In place of Jorco.

583
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:49,000
In the place of Jorco, who's absolutely blind.

584
00:47:49,000 --> 00:47:53,000
But yes, let's get into what happened this game.

585
00:47:53,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Roma were aiming to close in on Milan in third spot.

586
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:02,000
In the game, Ignite, early on as Lukaku's header off of the ball as a sister.

587
00:48:02,000 --> 00:48:04,000
There are lovely Cristante backheel.

588
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:08,000
Was it a backheel? It was kind of a forward pass.

589
00:48:08,000 --> 00:48:13,000
I'm not sure if it was a sideways pass, not a backheel pass.

590
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:18,000
A sideways pass to Dabala, who crossed it in brilliantly to Lukaku, who headed it home.

591
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:22,000
And that was the early advantage for Roma. Lovely goal.

592
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:27,000
Lovely team goal. They just turned the pace like that when they have Dabala on the pitch.

593
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:33,000
But of course that wouldn't last very long as Dabala missed a clear opportunity.

594
00:48:33,000 --> 00:48:37,000
Shortly after, as the left-skip played in three, he was on the penalty spot.

595
00:48:37,000 --> 00:48:41,000
He didn't manage to convert, whatever.

596
00:48:41,000 --> 00:48:46,000
Shortly after that, in the 25th minute, Dabala was substituted with an injury.

597
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:52,000
He didn't look too serious from his face, judging by the look on his face.

598
00:48:52,000 --> 00:48:55,000
But it's a shame to see what's happening this play.

599
00:48:55,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Yeah, but I feel like it's the same thing Milan kind of do with Poulissic.

600
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:03,000
Where if there's a slight concern, take him out.

601
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:10,000
After this, of course, in Zola missed a golden opportunity after he was played through.

602
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,000
Bonaventura came agonisingly close as he hit the crossbar.

603
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:21,000
He cornered and opened his eyes and then passed the teammates who were in ample space.

604
00:49:21,000 --> 00:49:29,000
And then later on in the second half, that's when tempers flared and everything just really picked up.

605
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:34,000
So first of all, Zalewski got sent off. He got sent off.

606
00:49:34,000 --> 00:49:38,000
It was a double yellow card, quite naive by the player.

607
00:49:38,000 --> 00:49:43,000
Just before that, Dabala's replacement, Azmoun, went off injured.

608
00:49:43,000 --> 00:49:45,000
Went off injured, of course!

609
00:49:45,000 --> 00:49:50,000
So it's a curse, it's the position. That must be a problem.

610
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,000
Zalewski tends to be a little bit naive at times.

611
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:57,000
Yes, of course, he's still young. He received the red card, then Fiorentina increased the pressure.

612
00:49:57,000 --> 00:50:02,000
And the goal-scoring centre-back, who's an absolute joy to watch.

613
00:50:02,000 --> 00:50:09,000
Lucas Martinez-Quarta headed the goal with one of those backwards flicks into the back of the net.

614
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:12,000
Martinez-Quarta is just running all over the place.

615
00:50:12,000 --> 00:50:17,000
If Fiorentina are defending, he's there. If they're attacking, he's there.

616
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:19,000
He's just everywhere, going up and down.

617
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:22,000
And he's got great technique up for a centre-back as well.

618
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:24,000
He really does, man. He really does.

619
00:50:24,000 --> 00:50:28,000
If he's going to die for a goal, he has. Just pop him up front, although you're doing playing.

620
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:31,000
Honestly, man, this guy's goal prowess is so much better.

621
00:50:31,000 --> 00:50:34,000
He might be one who interquits poach.

622
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:35,000
Perhaps.

623
00:50:35,000 --> 00:50:38,000
If they want another centre-back who advances.

624
00:50:38,000 --> 00:50:44,000
They need to buy a defender in January, but unfortunately they're funds, I'm not sure if it's allowed them.

625
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:49,000
So, Quarta came close to a personal brace later on,

626
00:50:49,000 --> 00:50:53,000
but he didn't manage to get the ball over the line.

627
00:50:53,000 --> 00:51:02,000
And the temperatures rose even further as Lukaku, who would have been cleaned through one goal after a long ball.

628
00:51:02,000 --> 00:51:06,000
His first touch failed him. He was dispossessed.

629
00:51:06,000 --> 00:51:09,000
The ball was played to Kwame on the wing.

630
00:51:09,000 --> 00:51:16,000
Lukaku tracked back the entire way, head down running at full speed, just charging at Kwame.

631
00:51:16,000 --> 00:51:23,000
He slid in, not even slid in, he flung himself in, studs up, completely missed the ball.

632
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:30,000
He collided with Kwame, tore his sock, like in the slow-motion replay, you see his sock tearing.

633
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:33,000
And drops him to the ground. That could have been a leg-breaker.

634
00:51:33,000 --> 00:51:35,000
It was an affordable challenge by Lukaku.

635
00:51:35,000 --> 00:51:36,000
Straight red.

636
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:40,000
Straight red, right off the PC. Italiano was fuming. He was furious.

637
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:43,000
There is Morinio looking around like he was a victim.

638
00:51:43,000 --> 00:51:50,000
Can you believe this? He sent him off for that. Of course he sent him off for that. That was an attempted murder.

639
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Lukaku had often been criticised for his first touch, particularly in the Premier League.

640
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:01,000
Exactly. Zlatan called him a donkey as well.

641
00:52:01,000 --> 00:52:07,000
And the implication of a donkey in football terms is someone with a terrible touch, right?

642
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:10,000
Or someone with low IQ rather, as a football player.

643
00:52:10,000 --> 00:52:12,000
But that's definitely not Lukaku. He's a very intelligent player.

644
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:16,000
He lacks technique and lacks elegance, so to say a donkey.

645
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:22,000
Yeah, that's pretty much the spot on. There was a nail-biting seven minutes of stoppage time added.

646
00:52:22,000 --> 00:52:29,000
They saw hope for Fiorentina, but ultimately the referee showed another red card to Melenkovic on the bench this time.

647
00:52:29,000 --> 00:52:34,000
And the game ended with Roma in fourth place alongside Bologna.

648
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:38,000
And that's it, pretty much.

649
00:52:38,000 --> 00:52:46,000
I think Fiorentina, so Roma as well, similar to what we said about Sosvalo,

650
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:52,000
even though we haven't even addressed that game yet, there was a self-destruct button over here.

651
00:52:52,000 --> 00:52:57,000
And that was caused by, let's say, I wouldn't even say inexperienced by Zalewski,

652
00:52:57,000 --> 00:53:01,000
because he has seen the stage now. He got a lot of playing time last season,

653
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:06,000
so disappointing for him to get the two yellow cards in the manner in which he got them.

654
00:53:06,000 --> 00:53:11,000
I think that's really through his team under the bus, and in fact, the first goal for Fiorentina.

655
00:53:11,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Their only goal came just two minutes after.

656
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:21,000
But I think Fiorentina, once they went down and they knew that Roma were going to be very pragmatic moving forward,

657
00:53:21,000 --> 00:53:27,000
Fiorentina brought a fight. They turned the heat up themselves in the game,

658
00:53:27,000 --> 00:53:34,000
and they made it a fight. Roma fought, and Fiorentina managed to get back into the game,

659
00:53:34,000 --> 00:53:37,000
and they did manage to get their players sent off.

660
00:53:37,000 --> 00:53:44,000
So I think if you can't beat them by being the better team, then beat them by making it a scrap man.

661
00:53:44,000 --> 00:53:47,000
And they managed to make it a scrap, and that's how they got a point out of this game.

662
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:54,000
Absolutely, man, but I'm not sure if it's Italiano's system, we've discussed this heavily,

663
00:53:54,000 --> 00:54:01,000
and in great depth. I just can't understand how Fiorentina have so much of the ball,

664
00:54:01,000 --> 00:54:05,000
and they seem to push forward so much, and to create so much, but nothing's converted.

665
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:08,000
The strikers are always isolated.

666
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:12,000
Because if they want that to be better, why don't they play Nico Gonzalez for a full 90 minutes?

667
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:20,000
I'm sorry, I'm going to say this again, but like Iconi, he's nowhere near the level Nico Gonzalez can even score headers, for example.

668
00:54:20,000 --> 00:54:22,000
He scored multiple headers this season.

669
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:26,000
But maybe that was the thing, maybe he wanted someone to play further away from those centre-backs,

670
00:54:26,000 --> 00:54:30,000
considering the absolute sheer size of Montreal, New-Laurent and Dica.

671
00:54:30,000 --> 00:54:36,000
But he did when I had their LB and Nico Gonzalez, so Bonaventura had a good goal-scoring opportunity.

672
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:42,000
The shot was on, and instead of shooting, he seemed to chip the ball, and the commentator went,

673
00:54:42,000 --> 00:54:48,000
why did he chip, and all of a sudden, out of nowhere, Nico fucking flies and his head's it.

674
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:50,000
But Patricio saved it, yeah.

675
00:54:50,000 --> 00:54:51,000
Patricio had a good game.

676
00:54:51,000 --> 00:54:52,000
He did have a good game.

677
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:57,000
But my thing is, maybe he wasn't fully fit, there must be a reason he's benching one of his best players.

678
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:04,000
It could be, unfortunately, for some reason, I don't have this information, because I look it up and fucking nothing.

679
00:55:04,000 --> 00:55:05,000
We're not going to know.

680
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:08,000
But, in Zola.

681
00:55:08,000 --> 00:55:10,000
Yes, not a fan.

682
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,000
So, same, right?

683
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:16,000
He has qualities that I'm a massive fan of, right?

684
00:55:16,000 --> 00:55:20,000
I'm not, personally. I think that for a lonely team.

685
00:55:20,000 --> 00:55:23,000
Come on, we know what I'm talking about.

686
00:55:23,000 --> 00:55:26,000
That game for Spitz, the strength to hold up.

687
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:30,000
He has qualities that when he's on, I am a fan of.

688
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:32,000
Look, man.

689
00:55:32,000 --> 00:55:34,000
But that's not my major point.

690
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:35,000
That's not my main major point.

691
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,000
Religated, Spitz, yeah, then moved to Fiorendia.

692
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:38,000
I wouldn't say single hand.

693
00:55:38,000 --> 00:55:40,000
He missed the penalty in the play-off.

694
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:45,000
Well, but he was the top scorer for fucking four seasons in a row in Serie A, three seasons in a row.

695
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:50,000
He helped them survive for three seasons.

696
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:54,000
But like in Zola, like you're saying, he's not very refined up front.

697
00:55:54,000 --> 00:55:56,000
He doesn't have certain technique.

698
00:55:56,000 --> 00:56:02,000
I think Zlatan could have very much aimed the offensive through at Lukaku at in Zola,

699
00:56:02,000 --> 00:56:04,000
and to have a better place over there.

700
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:07,000
So, he needs players around him.

701
00:56:07,000 --> 00:56:09,000
If he's going to play with his back towards goal, and if he struggles to get goals,

702
00:56:09,000 --> 00:56:11,000
he needs players around him.

703
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:12,000
That can't finish.

704
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:14,000
So, okay, he's got Bonaventura behind him.

705
00:56:14,000 --> 00:56:21,000
But he's got Ekone on one side, who double the point I made about in Zola,

706
00:56:21,000 --> 00:56:25,000
and he's applied to Ekone because, like you said, he doesn't open his eyes.

707
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:29,000
Oh, man, he had Bonaventura wide open at one point.

708
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:30,000
Wide open, man.

709
00:56:30,000 --> 00:56:33,000
And the pass was so on, and he had so much time to play it,

710
00:56:33,000 --> 00:56:35,000
and he just didn't look up, man.

711
00:56:35,000 --> 00:56:37,000
He was looking at the ball the entire time.

712
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,000
You're 25 years old.

713
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:41,000
You've been playing football professionally for how long, and you don't look up there.

714
00:56:41,000 --> 00:56:45,000
So, I think I would be pissed off as a Fiorentina,

715
00:56:45,000 --> 00:56:51,000
Falsignico start, and also Beltran not coming on earlier, for example.

716
00:56:51,000 --> 00:57:00,000
You look at when was, 70 second minute he was brought on,

717
00:57:00,000 --> 00:57:02,000
Nico Gonzalez for Ekone.

718
00:57:02,000 --> 00:57:05,000
So, I think it must have been a fitness issue, and I think Beltran,

719
00:57:05,000 --> 00:57:08,000
yes, is injured, by the way, so he was unavailable for this one.

720
00:57:08,000 --> 00:57:10,000
Especially he's on the bench.

721
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:14,000
But I think he's just recovered, so he didn't bring him on for that reason,

722
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:16,000
because he was sidelined for a bit.

723
00:57:16,000 --> 00:57:22,000
But, yeah, again, man, maybe the whole Insola playing 90 minutes thing

724
00:57:22,000 --> 00:57:25,000
was to match the physical power of their centre backs,

725
00:57:25,000 --> 00:57:29,000
but I don't think that, I think the centre backs were too intelligent

726
00:57:29,000 --> 00:57:31,000
and too experienced for Insola.

727
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:34,000
They didn't show him a second, and the one opportunity he had,

728
00:57:34,000 --> 00:57:36,000
he didn't make the most of it at all.

729
00:57:36,000 --> 00:57:39,000
And, yeah, when it comes to the wingers, they left a lot to be desired,

730
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:43,000
and even with nine men, they seemed to really struggle to crack this Roma side.

731
00:57:43,000 --> 00:57:47,000
A fun moment from the game was when Mourinho gave a sheet of paper

732
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:53,000
to one of the ball boys who ran up to Rui Patricio to show him a new formation.

733
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:58,000
It seemed to say El Charawi on the left and Bové up front,

734
00:57:58,000 --> 00:58:00,000
and like Eserno, so exit.

735
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:05,000
I think it was something like that, so probably an offensive counter-attacking system

736
00:58:05,000 --> 00:58:07,000
for when you're down to nine men.

737
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:09,000
Yeah, probably.

738
00:58:09,000 --> 00:58:13,000
I almost forgot we had that FIFA game where I got three red cards.

739
00:58:13,000 --> 00:58:15,000
Oh yeah, oh yeah.

740
00:58:15,000 --> 00:58:17,000
Back to our podcast.

741
00:58:17,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Bro is Roma.

742
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:22,000
Yes, Roma are currently in fourth place, as I said,

743
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Tidon points with Bologna, of course, 25 points,

744
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:30,000
while Fiorentina are in seventh place with 24 points.

745
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:33,000
Salernetana, one Bologna, two.

746
00:58:33,000 --> 00:58:35,000
Brother, I believe you won this bet.

747
00:58:35,000 --> 00:58:39,000
You said Bologna are going to get their first away win of the season,

748
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000
and I thought the curse would persist,

749
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:43,000
and I thought it would be a 1-1 or something.

750
00:58:43,000 --> 00:58:46,000
What I didn't expect, bro, was a semi-wank goal.

751
00:58:46,000 --> 00:58:48,000
The wank, bro.

752
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:50,000
The fucking wank.

753
00:58:50,000 --> 00:58:56,000
Like I said, Bologna's first away win this season.

754
00:58:56,000 --> 00:59:00,000
This temporarily propelled them into fourth position,

755
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:05,000
and now fifth level on points with fourth place Roma.

756
00:59:05,000 --> 00:59:08,000
The hosts got their first win.

757
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:10,000
That was a dreadful M.

758
00:59:10,000 --> 00:59:15,000
My voice cracked while emig, that was crazy.

759
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,000
You're not usually an M, right?

760
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:19,000
I'm more of an M than you are.

761
00:59:19,000 --> 00:59:21,000
I am, I try to...

762
00:59:21,000 --> 00:59:23,000
Your M's are confident, they're like,

763
00:59:23,000 --> 00:59:25,000
you throw them out like fucking...

764
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:27,000
I don't like it, man.

765
00:59:27,000 --> 00:59:30,000
For like three seconds, that's me avoiding the end.

766
00:59:30,000 --> 00:59:32,000
Is that better though, everyone says it's...

767
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,000
If you take a public speaking course, they say don't M,

768
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:37,000
just stay quiet and think.

769
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,000
But you know, emig shows that you are thinking.

770
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:41,000
But the power's in the silence.

771
00:59:41,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Power's in the silence.

772
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:47,000
The hosts got their first win of the season against Lazio,

773
00:59:47,000 --> 00:59:51,000
but it was quickly followed by a 3-0 thrashing at Fiorentina,

774
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:53,000
so they remained rock bottom.

775
00:59:53,000 --> 00:59:57,000
Peponzaghi faced his former club without Guillermo Ochoa,

776
00:59:57,000 --> 00:59:59,000
who was replaced by Costil.

777
00:59:59,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Shit.

778
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:02,000
Oh, did a great job, eh?

779
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:09,000
He was woeful, bro.

780
01:00:09,000 --> 01:00:10,000
Bro.

781
01:00:10,000 --> 01:00:13,000
You know when I used to say that when Brahim used to shoot,

782
01:00:13,000 --> 01:00:15,000
he used to go...

783
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Yeah.

784
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,000
When he made that save, he went like...

785
01:00:20,000 --> 01:00:22,000
I can't believe that, that's great.

786
01:00:22,000 --> 01:00:26,000
He kind of just rolled it back to Xerxes, man.

787
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,000
It was so unnecessary.

788
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:29,000
But anyway.

789
01:00:29,000 --> 01:00:32,000
Bologna had a lengthy list of absentees,

790
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:35,000
including Riccardo Orsalini, who I can't wait to see him back.

791
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:39,000
Bonifazi, Dessilvestri, Sao Mauro, Jesper Carlsen,

792
01:00:39,000 --> 01:00:41,000
and El Azuzi.

793
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:44,000
Now, in the opening minutes, Bologna took the lead

794
01:00:44,000 --> 01:00:48,000
through Ho Adadan, Joshua Xerxes,

795
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:54,000
Jose, capitalizing on a weak save attempt by Salernetana's goalkeeper,

796
01:00:54,000 --> 01:00:55,000
Costil.

797
01:00:55,000 --> 01:00:58,000
It was a Stefan Posh strike, low, soft.

798
01:01:01,000 --> 01:01:05,000
Now, a save you could have easily hung on to, I feel.

799
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,000
But he really made a meal of it,

800
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:11,000
really made a meal of it, he was way off his line,

801
01:01:11,000 --> 01:01:14,000
so he had less reaction time for a really slow shot.

802
01:01:14,000 --> 01:01:19,000
And on impact, it's like he just rolled the ball to Xerxes,

803
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:23,000
just a really, really amateur kind of move.

804
01:01:23,000 --> 01:01:29,000
It's like he's never gotten down low to save a shot in his life.

805
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:31,000
So Xerxes' easy goal for him over there.

806
01:01:31,000 --> 01:01:35,000
And it's not like the player, it's not like this keeper isn't match fit,

807
01:01:35,000 --> 01:01:38,000
because he was playing in France last season, he had 19 appearances in France.

808
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:40,000
And the season before that, he was even with Bordeaux,

809
01:01:40,000 --> 01:01:42,000
where he got 25 appearances.

810
01:01:42,000 --> 01:01:44,000
So this guy is used to playing.

811
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:46,000
He hasn't impressed me too much, Costil.

812
01:01:46,000 --> 01:01:51,000
Not much, and he's also 36 years old, so he's no spring chicken.

813
01:01:51,000 --> 01:01:57,000
He could be Giroud, he could actually be Giroud, they look so alike.

814
01:01:57,000 --> 01:02:01,000
Xerxes continued his impressive form, anticipating a defensive error.

815
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:07,000
This was a terrible back pass, and he just dribbled the keeper in classic Xerxes' fashion,

816
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:09,000
and he finished into the empty net.

817
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,000
Was that Matsuki?

818
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:13,000
That gave the pass, I believe so.

819
01:02:13,000 --> 01:02:15,000
Matsuki right, he had a terrible pass.

820
01:02:15,000 --> 01:02:19,000
A striker who needs to be in the right place at the right time,

821
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,000
needs to read the slow pass.

822
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:23,000
Brilliant.

823
01:02:23,000 --> 01:02:25,000
Xerxes also lost him.

824
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:31,000
Now Salernetana's coach Peponzaghi made a few tactical changes in the 34th minute.

825
01:02:31,000 --> 01:02:36,000
He switched to a back four aiming to address the defensive vulnerabilities that were going on.

826
01:02:36,000 --> 01:02:41,000
The alterations seemed to inject some life into Salernetana's style of play,

827
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:45,000
with Boulay-Ediya coming close to scoring from a volley shortly after.

828
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:51,000
And then after that, the match became very physical, much like the Roma-Fiorintina match,

829
01:02:51,000 --> 01:02:54,000
there were six yellow cards for Salernetana players,

830
01:02:54,000 --> 01:03:00,000
particularly Alexis Salemakers, who endured very rough treatment from Salernetana.

831
01:03:00,000 --> 01:03:03,000
They were kicking him, they were pelting him,

832
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:10,000
and Tempers flared even more towards the end, and there was even a lighter thrown at Salemakers from the stands.

833
01:03:10,000 --> 01:03:17,000
Then Fazio, Salernetana's Fazio, was sent off for a descent towards the closing moment,

834
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:22,000
so Salernetana rock bottomed them and their Curva and all of this,

835
01:03:22,000 --> 01:03:26,000
they really, really lost their cool towards the end of the game.

836
01:03:26,000 --> 01:03:30,000
Much like Fiorintina, they tried to turn it into a scuffle.

837
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:34,000
And then Salernetana are lost, they need their fans more than anyone right now.

838
01:03:34,000 --> 01:03:38,000
Ideally, probably, if you look at it, the teams fighting for survival

839
01:03:38,000 --> 01:03:41,000
are the ones whose fans can really influence them the most.

840
01:03:41,000 --> 01:03:44,000
They can make the environment hostile.

841
01:03:44,000 --> 01:03:51,000
These games are usually not as big, not as watched, so you get away with a bit more.

842
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:56,000
If it's a Uwe intergame, for example, you can't be as reckless as a fan,

843
01:03:56,000 --> 01:04:01,000
as a fan base in front, but on this kind of scale, you get away with it.

844
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:06,000
And Salernetana fans, their fans are experts at doing this,

845
01:04:06,000 --> 01:04:11,000
at creating a hostile environment, at taking the piss out of the players on the pitch,

846
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:16,000
at lobbing stuff at them, putting up banners that will get their reaction out of them,

847
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:21,000
chanting provocative chants, of course, and that's what they do, Salernetana.

848
01:04:21,000 --> 01:04:23,000
And they almost got back into it.

849
01:04:23,000 --> 01:04:28,000
They pulled a goal back with 15 minutes remaining

850
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:33,000
when the Wank scored from a well-taken shot from the edge of the box.

851
01:04:33,000 --> 01:04:40,000
However, they didn't manage to get away with anything from this game, but the Wank is back.

852
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:43,000
The duality of Sime and Wank, did you see?

853
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:49,000
Okay, so in the 75th minute, he took that shot with perfect technique.

854
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:54,000
Lanky, 6'6", Nigerian striker, Sime and Wank, right?

855
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:59,000
When he shoots the ball, this guy has to fold himself in half to be able to aim it accurately.

856
01:04:59,000 --> 01:05:03,000
He is a really interesting player to watch.

857
01:05:03,000 --> 01:05:06,000
He executes that shot with perfect flawless technique,

858
01:05:06,000 --> 01:05:10,000
first time to the bottom right corner after Kondreva plays it to him, right?

859
01:05:10,000 --> 01:05:14,000
And then in the 90-something minute, he's played the ball.

860
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:19,000
And even better chance than the first one, and he has even more time to think about it.

861
01:05:19,000 --> 01:05:22,000
He shoots it, that awful technique misses the target.

862
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:24,000
It looks like it was his first shot ever.

863
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:30,000
So I don't understand how a player can be so moody, how he can display such technical excellence,

864
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:33,000
and then hit the ball so badly.

865
01:05:33,000 --> 01:05:35,000
But it's not been his season.

866
01:05:35,000 --> 01:05:39,000
That goal was the only, I think, positive touch he's had of the football,

867
01:05:39,000 --> 01:05:43,000
because otherwise he misplaces it, he's really clumsy on the ball this year.

868
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:45,000
Hopefully it's the start of something.

869
01:05:45,000 --> 01:05:47,000
I hope so, they really need him.

870
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:56,000
How much of a level below our Salerno and Atahana this season?

871
01:05:56,000 --> 01:06:00,000
Then the rest of the 19 teams in Serie A.

872
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:04,000
Honestly, it's not that remarkable a difference.

873
01:06:04,000 --> 01:06:09,000
It's quite tight, they're still very much alive, I believe they're on 8 points.

874
01:06:09,000 --> 01:06:10,000
In 15 matches?

875
01:06:10,000 --> 01:06:15,000
Yes, they're on 8 points, but then you look at, like, you know,

876
01:06:15,000 --> 01:06:19,000
with Danea they are out of the relegation pool with 12 points, not so doable.

877
01:06:19,000 --> 01:06:23,000
I think when it comes to quality, if you look at the rivals,

878
01:06:23,000 --> 01:06:27,000
you look at, okay, Kalyari have a lot more spirit than Salerno and Atahana.

879
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:34,000
So Swolo have more technical ability, they're more gifted, they're more skilled,

880
01:06:34,000 --> 01:06:35,000
they're better players.

881
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:39,000
But Danea also have better players and they can be quite tight and difficult to break down.

882
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:47,000
And Puglia as well look like they're better drilled and they are more tactically apt than Salerno and Atahana.

883
01:06:47,000 --> 01:06:52,000
And then there's Hela Sverona, who I think are pretty on par with Salerno,

884
01:06:52,000 --> 01:06:54,000
but they're also a tough nut to crack at times.

885
01:06:54,000 --> 01:07:00,000
For me, Salerno and Atahana are probably the worst team in the league.

886
01:07:00,000 --> 01:07:02,000
Yeah, probably so far this season.

887
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,000
I want to make a correction, it wasn't Matsuki who made the error.

888
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:06,000
Who was it?

889
01:07:06,000 --> 01:07:07,000
It was Lovato.

890
01:07:07,000 --> 01:07:09,000
Lovato played the ball back.

891
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:10,000
Oh my God.

892
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:11,000
Yes, Lovato.

893
01:07:11,000 --> 01:07:14,000
In fact, he got a grand rating of five.

894
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:17,000
Because it was played from Matsuki's position.

895
01:07:17,000 --> 01:07:19,000
Yeah, from the right hand side.

896
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:22,000
But to be honest, they are quite, quite closer to the box.

897
01:07:22,000 --> 01:07:27,000
Yeah, man, I think Salerno and Atahana, one thing they lack is,

898
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:32,000
you can't say that they lack spirit because they do have spirit as a team.

899
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:37,000
It's like their players, none of them are consistent.

900
01:07:37,000 --> 01:07:41,000
And it's like many of their key guys seem to be new.

901
01:07:41,000 --> 01:07:46,000
So you have Kandreva, poor guy, he's no spring chicken as well.

902
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:47,000
He's 36 years old.

903
01:07:47,000 --> 01:07:51,000
He's like a Matsuki who was kind of like a half a season merchant,

904
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:53,000
where he had half a season where he was great,

905
01:07:53,000 --> 01:07:57,000
and then he kind of dipped back to being average.

906
01:07:57,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Bulaea Dia doesn't even want to be there anymore,

907
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:00,000
so they've lost him.

908
01:08:00,000 --> 01:08:04,000
They've brought in Ikumuezi and all the pressure in the world is on him.

909
01:08:04,000 --> 01:08:06,000
Legovsky wasn't there last season.

910
01:08:06,000 --> 01:08:09,000
Brotherage is bang average at the moment.

911
01:08:09,000 --> 01:08:12,000
The defense leaves a lot to be desired.

912
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:15,000
Without Ochoa, they have a goalkeeper who's a bit of a vulnerability.

913
01:08:15,000 --> 01:08:19,000
Their manager, his level is probably Serie B.

914
01:08:19,000 --> 01:08:22,000
That's one thing I want to address.

915
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:25,000
I don't want to shit on a manager too early.

916
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:30,000
But you're struggling for survival and you bring in Pippon Zaghi

917
01:08:30,000 --> 01:08:35,000
who's been in one relegation battle with Benevento and he lost.

918
01:08:35,000 --> 01:08:37,000
Yeah, I mean it's...

919
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:38,000
In fact, bro.

920
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:41,000
This is the time to have so much faith in a manager.

921
01:08:41,000 --> 01:08:42,000
In fact.

922
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:47,000
And I think like Souza had shown us what he can do with Salernita.

923
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,000
He improved Davide Nikola's side.

924
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:56,000
And I'm not saying that it's excusable that he had such a shit start to the season

925
01:08:56,000 --> 01:08:58,000
because we need to sack your manager,

926
01:08:58,000 --> 01:09:00,000
and inject new life.

927
01:09:00,000 --> 01:09:05,000
But Christ, man, in that case, get someone that's been there

928
01:09:05,000 --> 01:09:07,000
and that's helped team survive.

929
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:10,000
Because Salernita, three seasons ago, two seasons ago,

930
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,000
when they were battling relegation, they were dead lost for ages,

931
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:15,000
they went to three managerial changes.

932
01:09:15,000 --> 01:09:17,000
Two managerial changes.

933
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,000
They sacked their first coach, appointed another one.

934
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:22,000
And then they had another coach and they got Davide Nikola on board.

935
01:09:22,000 --> 01:09:24,000
And Nikola had helped them survive.

936
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:25,000
Exactly.

937
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:27,000
Yeah, absolutely.

938
01:09:27,000 --> 01:09:34,000
And the fans are fully aware that the direction that the team's heading towards is not ideal.

939
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:37,000
And in fact, scattered around the city of Salerno right now

940
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:42,000
are many banners made by the Salernitana faithful against Ervolino,

941
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:45,000
the owner of the club.

942
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:52,000
And one of them is like, I saw Ervolino Piccolo Womo, a small man.

943
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:57,000
Ervolino out, things like that, scattered around the city.

944
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:00,000
It's just not a well-run club.

945
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:04,000
And now what will happen in January, as we know,

946
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:06,000
which is only, by the way, a month away,

947
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:11,000
Salernitana will probably bring in nine players,

948
01:10:11,000 --> 01:10:15,000
because they won't have Diya.

949
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:17,000
Yeah, their entire team is going to Afgan.

950
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:18,000
It's crazy.

951
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Kulebali is going as well.

952
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:21,000
It's not going to be good for them.

953
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:24,000
That's going to be a very, very rough period.

954
01:10:24,000 --> 01:10:26,000
But we'll see what they can do, man.

955
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:30,000
Usually their January signings are pretty good.

956
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:32,000
Yeah. Bologna.

957
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:33,000
Quick word of praise, naturally.

958
01:10:33,000 --> 01:10:36,000
Obviously, we all know that they are in a higher position

959
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:38,000
than one would have anticipated.

960
01:10:38,000 --> 01:10:41,000
While this team can really, in this game, okay,

961
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:44,000
maybe they didn't show everything that we've seen so far,

962
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:49,000
but they got a victory that is, it has them high up, man.

963
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:54,000
It has them in fifth level on points with fourth place drama.

964
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:58,000
Salernitana on the other hand, 20th on eight points in 15 matches.

965
01:10:58,000 --> 01:10:59,000
Yes.

966
01:10:59,000 --> 01:11:01,000
And Bologna once again exercising their depth

967
01:11:01,000 --> 01:11:03,000
by playing Ramu Froyler, this game,

968
01:11:03,000 --> 01:11:05,000
who I'm surprised doesn't play more often.

969
01:11:05,000 --> 01:11:07,000
Yeah, that's true.

970
01:11:07,000 --> 01:11:10,000
But yeah, bro, that leaves us,

971
01:11:10,000 --> 01:11:13,000
that brings us to the highlight of the...

972
01:11:13,000 --> 01:11:14,000
Finally, man.

973
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:16,000
Yeah, finally. Here we are, bro.

974
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:19,000
Kaliari 2, Saswolo 1.

975
01:11:19,000 --> 01:11:22,000
So one thing I love about Klaudia Ranieri,

976
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:23,000
as I mentioned earlier this episode,

977
01:11:23,000 --> 01:11:25,000
is he likes to keep his guns in the holster,

978
01:11:25,000 --> 01:11:27,000
until he really needs them, you know.

979
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:32,000
So he'll keep the likes of Petania, Lovumbo, Eldor Shomorodov

980
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:33,000
on the bench.

981
01:11:33,000 --> 01:11:37,000
He started this game with a flat 4-4-1-1 classic.

982
01:11:37,000 --> 01:11:39,000
He had scuffet and goal, who by the way,

983
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:42,000
I saw him, I was like, ah, Kranio.

984
01:11:42,000 --> 01:11:44,000
And I'm like, wait a minute, that's so...

985
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:47,000
This Kaliari guy looks just like Kranio.

986
01:11:47,000 --> 01:11:49,000
So like goalkeepers in Serie A,

987
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:51,000
I think they ran out of faces to generate,

988
01:11:51,000 --> 01:11:52,000
so they're just putting like,

989
01:11:52,000 --> 01:11:55,000
Jiru, Kranio, just generating common faces.

990
01:11:55,000 --> 01:11:56,000
Literally.

991
01:11:56,000 --> 01:11:59,000
But anyway, it was the usual back forward.

992
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:01,000
This time it was Oristanio starting out on the right,

993
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:03,000
and Nathan Nandes starting out on the left.

994
01:12:03,000 --> 01:12:05,000
Nathan Nandes played a terrible game.

995
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:08,000
He was full of industry, his work rate was remarkable.

996
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:10,000
He fought and fought and fought and fought,

997
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:12,000
but none of his crosses seemed to land,

998
01:12:12,000 --> 01:12:14,000
and he was eventually substituted.

999
01:12:14,000 --> 01:12:17,000
Sulemana and Prati were in the middle,

1000
01:12:17,000 --> 01:12:19,000
with Viola playing behind Lapadula.

1001
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:23,000
Do you know what the right way to pronounce Nandes' first name is?

1002
01:12:23,000 --> 01:12:24,000
Nahitan.

1003
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:26,000
No, it is.

1004
01:12:26,000 --> 01:12:29,000
Thank you saying Nathan, but you're Ed from Edde de Nadi.

1005
01:12:29,000 --> 01:12:30,000
No, it's not.

1006
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:31,000
Nathan.

1007
01:12:31,000 --> 01:12:32,000
No, it's not.

1008
01:12:32,000 --> 01:12:33,000
Nathan.

1009
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:34,000
No, it's not.

1010
01:12:34,000 --> 01:12:35,000
No, it's not.

1011
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,000
Okay, now, for Sassuolo,

1012
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:39,000
it was Daman Damar in defense,

1013
01:12:39,000 --> 01:12:41,000
with Erilych and Rohan.

1014
01:12:41,000 --> 01:12:43,000
Mattias Vini out on the right,

1015
01:12:43,000 --> 01:12:44,000
Tullian on the...

1016
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:46,000
Sorry, Vini on the left, Tullian on the right.

1017
01:12:46,000 --> 01:12:49,000
A double pivot of Ratchic and Henrique,

1018
01:12:49,000 --> 01:12:52,000
with Thordz Vet as the Czech artist,

1019
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:55,000
and he started the game with a full set of teeth.

1020
01:12:55,000 --> 01:12:57,000
Castillo out on the right,

1021
01:12:57,000 --> 01:12:58,000
of course Pinamonte up front,

1022
01:12:58,000 --> 01:13:00,000
and Lauriente on the left.

1023
01:13:00,000 --> 01:13:01,000
I feel like the steam changes a bit,

1024
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:03,000
so might as well read the line up.

1025
01:13:03,000 --> 01:13:04,000
Jake, please.

1026
01:13:04,000 --> 01:13:06,000
Where is Berardi?

1027
01:13:06,000 --> 01:13:08,000
Berardi...

1028
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:09,000
In Fortunato?

1029
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:11,000
In Fortunato, yes.

1030
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:13,000
It's not...

1031
01:13:13,000 --> 01:13:14,000
Fortunato?

1032
01:13:14,000 --> 01:13:16,000
It's not Fortunato,

1033
01:13:16,000 --> 01:13:17,000
because...

1034
01:13:17,000 --> 01:13:18,000
In Fortunato.

1035
01:13:18,000 --> 01:13:20,000
Because he's very sick.

1036
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:22,000
Because he's very sick.

1037
01:13:22,000 --> 01:13:25,000
Berardi was unavailable for this game.

1038
01:13:25,000 --> 01:13:28,000
Kallir, you were denied by a goal line clearance,

1039
01:13:28,000 --> 01:13:29,000
and the first half,

1040
01:13:29,000 --> 01:13:31,000
and Thordz Vet clashed with Sulemana

1041
01:13:31,000 --> 01:13:33,000
and lost two teeth.

1042
01:13:33,000 --> 01:13:35,000
After receiving some treatment on the...

1043
01:13:35,000 --> 01:13:38,000
on the sideline, he actually stayed on.

1044
01:13:38,000 --> 01:13:39,000
Which is...

1045
01:13:39,000 --> 01:13:40,000
Which is mental and...

1046
01:13:40,000 --> 01:13:41,000
I couldn't believe it.

1047
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:42,000
He was the first warrior of this game,

1048
01:13:42,000 --> 01:13:43,000
because in the second half,

1049
01:13:43,000 --> 01:13:45,000
that's when the action really picked up.

1050
01:13:45,000 --> 01:13:47,000
In the first half, sorry, of course, it's meant...

1051
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:49,000
I should mention that Dom scored...

1052
01:13:49,000 --> 01:13:50,000
Yeah.

1053
01:13:50,000 --> 01:13:52,000
Early, she scored the header.

1054
01:13:52,000 --> 01:13:53,000
Dom.

1055
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:55,000
And then in the second half,

1056
01:13:55,000 --> 01:13:57,000
Dommer got sent off.

1057
01:13:57,000 --> 01:13:59,000
Okay, for a second yellow card.

1058
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:02,000
Dommer, of course, is Ruan Tresoldi.

1059
01:14:02,000 --> 01:14:05,000
Obviously, this isn't a jab at the personnel.

1060
01:14:05,000 --> 01:14:08,000
It's more of a jab at the Sasvallos centre-backs,

1061
01:14:08,000 --> 01:14:10,000
in general, who never seem to perform well.

1062
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:13,000
Ruan Tresoldi is so clumsy.

1063
01:14:13,000 --> 01:14:14,000
Listen, back to season one,

1064
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:16,000
our victim was Vlad Kirikes.

1065
01:14:16,000 --> 01:14:17,000
Kirikes, man.

1066
01:14:17,000 --> 01:14:19,000
It's like everything he would touch would turn to shit.

1067
01:14:19,000 --> 01:14:20,000
Literally.

1068
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:22,000
Lovumbo was brought on in the second half,

1069
01:14:22,000 --> 01:14:27,000
and that's what sparked the comeback for Kallieri.

1070
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:30,000
As he was brought on, the second he was brought on,

1071
01:14:30,000 --> 01:14:35,000
Vinja's job seemed to be hit him as hard as you can.

1072
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:37,000
Affect him.

1073
01:14:37,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Make this guy uncomfortable,

1074
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,000
don't let him play confidently.

1075
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:42,000
So the first time Lovumbo got the ball,

1076
01:14:42,000 --> 01:14:44,000
Vinja charged him,

1077
01:14:44,000 --> 01:14:47,000
dashed into him maliciously,

1078
01:14:47,000 --> 01:14:51,000
fouled him and hit him in the face with his elbow,

1079
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,000
as he was landing.

1080
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:57,000
Lovumbo was clearly, clearly, clearly hurt by it.

1081
01:14:57,000 --> 01:14:59,000
He got up, he shook it off.

1082
01:14:59,000 --> 01:15:00,000
Then he got the ball again.

1083
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:05,000
Vinja came to aggressively mark him again,

1084
01:15:05,000 --> 01:15:07,000
and Lovumbo dribbled him three times.

1085
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:08,000
Kid, you know what?

1086
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,000
He went left, then right, then left again.

1087
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,000
He was just taking the piss out of him.

1088
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:14,000
This is when I was like, alright, this is serious.

1089
01:15:14,000 --> 01:15:15,000
These guys are good.

1090
01:15:15,000 --> 01:15:16,000
So you have one guy playing on Sasvallos,

1091
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:17,000
who's got two missing teeth.

1092
01:15:17,000 --> 01:15:19,000
The other guy has just been clattered,

1093
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:20,000
and he's taking the piss right now.

1094
01:15:20,000 --> 01:15:22,000
And then Ruan dressed all these red cards

1095
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,000
for kicking Lapadoula in the face.

1096
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:25,000
It was horrible.

1097
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:29,000
He broke his nose, and his eye flared up.

1098
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,000
It was so swollen the second it happened,

1099
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:33,000
that his eye was closed, one of his eyes.

1100
01:15:33,000 --> 01:15:35,000
Once again, he received some treatment,

1101
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:39,000
probably got some kind of anesthetic or something

1102
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:42,000
for his eye, and then it seemed to actually go down,

1103
01:15:42,000 --> 01:15:43,000
the swelling.

1104
01:15:43,000 --> 01:15:45,000
And he continued playing again with a warrior,

1105
01:15:45,000 --> 01:15:47,000
Lapadoula, is.

1106
01:15:47,000 --> 01:15:49,000
So it's the dying moments of the game.

1107
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:50,000
Right?

1108
01:15:50,000 --> 01:15:53,000
And, oh sorry, Vigny actually tried to go in hard

1109
01:15:53,000 --> 01:15:54,000
on Lovumbo again.

1110
01:15:54,000 --> 01:15:56,000
He went in so hard, he injured himself,

1111
01:15:56,000 --> 01:15:58,000
and was substituted through injury.

1112
01:15:58,000 --> 01:16:00,000
So he hurt himself, trying to hurt someone else.

1113
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:04,000
Very, very naughty player over here, Vigny.

1114
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:06,000
So yes, it's the dying moments of the game.

1115
01:16:06,000 --> 01:16:09,000
We are talking the 93rd minute over here.

1116
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:13,000
Sasvallos are a man down, but they're one nil up.

1117
01:16:13,000 --> 01:16:15,000
Kallieri have been pushing and pushing and pushing

1118
01:16:15,000 --> 01:16:17,000
all game, but none of their crosses

1119
01:16:17,000 --> 01:16:19,000
seem to be landing, right?

1120
01:16:19,000 --> 01:16:21,000
93rd minute.

1121
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Lovumbo crosses it in, Lapadoula takes a touch,

1122
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:28,000
volleys it, slight deflection, back of the net goal,

1123
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:31,000
celebrates, his nose is broken, you know,

1124
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:33,000
he does that thing where he puts his hands to his ears,

1125
01:16:33,000 --> 01:16:35,000
and his nose literally sideways.

1126
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,000
Everyone's sprinting back, Kallieri.

1127
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:39,000
They've got fucking a couple minutes left.

1128
01:16:39,000 --> 01:16:42,000
There was a pretty back-side, let's get the win over here.

1129
01:16:42,000 --> 01:16:44,000
We're so much better than them right now.

1130
01:16:44,000 --> 01:16:48,000
There were seven minutes of added time, right?

1131
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:52,000
It was the 97th minute, the ref looks at his watch,

1132
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:55,000
he's like, you know what, man, that goal kick took a while,

1133
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:59,000
there was the goal, we'll give them an extra minute, no.

1134
01:16:59,000 --> 01:17:05,000
98th minute, across goes in, Shamorodov knocks it back,

1135
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:09,000
Leonardo Pavoletti, who was brought on late,

1136
01:17:09,000 --> 01:17:12,000
bicycle kicks the ball into the back of the net, man.

1137
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:16,000
Scenes like everyone screaming, people crying,

1138
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:19,000
it was this unbelievable, man, unbelievable,

1139
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,000
what a game of football.

1140
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:25,000
The Kallieri team, man, they embodied,

1141
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:28,000
they embody what it means to be a football fan.

1142
01:17:28,000 --> 01:17:32,000
This game had everything in it, absolutely everything.

1143
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:37,000
Drama, it had great goals, it had competitive spirit,

1144
01:17:37,000 --> 01:17:39,000
crazy competitive spirit, it had.

1145
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:42,000
You look at the yellow cards, it was a bloodbath, man.

1146
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:44,000
That was a bloody fun game to watch, man.

1147
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:45,000
Oh, man.

1148
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:47,000
And it came on a Monday night, I wasn't expecting such a thing.

1149
01:17:47,000 --> 01:17:50,000
I got home just in time, because I was working late.

1150
01:17:50,000 --> 01:17:53,000
Until like, like I literally got home at 8.45,

1151
01:17:53,000 --> 01:17:57,000
I flicked it on, at the beginning I was prepping for this episode,

1152
01:17:57,000 --> 01:18:00,000
but obviously, you know how it is,

1153
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:02,000
you're mainly watching the game.

1154
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:06,000
And then thankfully, I literally shut my laptop in like the 75th minute.

1155
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:08,000
I forgot to mention,

1156
01:18:08,000 --> 01:18:10,000
I missed a massive part.

1157
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:14,000
While Saswolo were one nil up towards the end of the game,

1158
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:17,000
we're talking the 80 something minute over here.

1159
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:21,000
Bloody, they're counterattacking Saswolo.

1160
01:18:21,000 --> 01:18:24,000
Mullateri has the ball and he's charging,

1161
01:18:24,000 --> 01:18:27,000
and I'm wondering is he going to actually play the right pass away?

1162
01:18:27,000 --> 01:18:29,000
It seems to hang on to it for too long,

1163
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:32,000
then he lets go perfectly unleashing a player 1v1.

1164
01:18:32,000 --> 01:18:36,000
Instead of shooting, the player squared it across to Bayrami,

1165
01:18:36,000 --> 01:18:39,000
and Bayrami finish into the back of the net.

1166
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:43,000
There was a long VAR check, very long check, very long check,

1167
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,000
and then we saw why afterwards, because it was offside.

1168
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:47,000
In fact, that's why there were the 7 minutes added.

1169
01:18:47,000 --> 01:18:49,000
Exactly, that too.

1170
01:18:49,000 --> 01:18:51,000
And the offside was so margin.

1171
01:18:51,000 --> 01:18:54,000
It was closer than Keen's, it was tighter than Keen's offside,

1172
01:18:54,000 --> 01:18:57,000
and that was tighter than I'd ever seen.

1173
01:18:57,000 --> 01:19:00,000
I do think there should be a limit where you allow the goal.

1174
01:19:00,000 --> 01:19:01,000
I don't know.

1175
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:03,000
That was fucked.

1176
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:06,000
It was black or white, if he's slightly offside, he's offside.

1177
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:09,000
It's not enjoyable, but...

1178
01:19:09,000 --> 01:19:11,000
That would have changed the outcome of the game entirely.

1179
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:13,000
They would have been too in the lap, man.

1180
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:15,000
It would have been a victory for Saswolo.

1181
01:19:15,000 --> 01:19:17,000
That's how tight this game was.

1182
01:19:17,000 --> 01:19:20,000
Drama man, a roller coaster from beginning to end.

1183
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:24,000
Amazing, bro. Who is your favourite player on this Coleri team?

1184
01:19:24,000 --> 01:19:25,000
I like...

1185
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:26,000
How do you pick one?

1186
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:29,000
It's one of the goal scorers.

1187
01:19:29,000 --> 01:19:35,000
Lapadoula or Pavalletti, what are you looking at over there, man?

1188
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:41,000
In my opinion, now they're not like actual legends of the game,

1189
01:19:41,000 --> 01:19:46,000
but to me they are iconic faces of Seria, these two guys.

1190
01:19:46,000 --> 01:19:49,000
And the thing that I like about Coleri is that...

1191
01:19:49,000 --> 01:19:51,000
So you look at the newly promoted sides.

1192
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:55,000
You look at Frozenona that are basically a bunch of kids,

1193
01:19:55,000 --> 01:19:59,000
very offensive with a lot of low knees brought in.

1194
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:04,000
You look at Genoa, there are a lot of big players

1195
01:20:04,000 --> 01:20:08,000
who are misfits in different places and have been amalgamated together

1196
01:20:08,000 --> 01:20:11,000
to create this dangerous dynamic team.

1197
01:20:11,000 --> 01:20:14,000
Or up-and-coming players, like Goodman and Retegui?

1198
01:20:14,000 --> 01:20:18,000
As well, but Retegui as well, he was quite well-renowned.

1199
01:20:18,000 --> 01:20:22,000
Malinovsky as well, Messias as well.

1200
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:26,000
They've got more stars than Genoa.

1201
01:20:26,000 --> 01:20:30,000
Coleri are the hard workers.

1202
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:32,000
Coleri are the industrious players.

1203
01:20:32,000 --> 01:20:37,000
They are the Lapadoulas, the Pavalletti, the Violas, the Nandesses.

1204
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:41,000
They are these guys, man. They are the fucking working class.

1205
01:20:41,000 --> 01:20:43,000
I love Lapadoula.

1206
01:20:43,000 --> 01:20:46,000
Yeah, I love Lapadoula too.

1207
01:20:46,000 --> 01:20:50,000
He's a great man over anything, and he's professional.

1208
01:20:50,000 --> 01:20:54,000
And that's what many of these guys are serious professionals, man.

1209
01:20:54,000 --> 01:20:57,000
And they're fucking... Give me a team.

1210
01:20:57,000 --> 01:20:59,000
Now is it ideal? It's debatable.

1211
01:20:59,000 --> 01:21:01,000
But they're three strikers.

1212
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:03,000
I love it, man.

1213
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:08,000
Lapadoula, Pavalletti and Petania.

1214
01:21:08,000 --> 01:21:11,000
Talk about having foxes in the boxes.

1215
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:14,000
Talk about having tanks in the bank.

1216
01:21:14,000 --> 01:21:18,000
Fucking talk about having wanks in the shower.

1217
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,000
Why?

1218
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:23,000
I couldn't think of one.

1219
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:25,000
Yeah.

1220
01:21:25,000 --> 01:21:28,000
I don't know. I like...

1221
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:33,000
I like Nicolas Villal, as well, a lot. Super player.

1222
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:35,000
He's the glue. He's the glue.

1223
01:21:35,000 --> 01:21:37,000
He's like Gels, midfield to the attack.

1224
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:41,000
And as well, Zito Lovumbo is just so much fun to watch.

1225
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:44,000
And I think he's actually the one over here who's destined for a big move.

1226
01:21:44,000 --> 01:21:47,000
Out of all these guys, he's a level above.

1227
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:50,000
And many of these guys were playing in Serie B.

1228
01:21:50,000 --> 01:21:52,000
It's not like they bought a bunch of players.

1229
01:21:52,000 --> 01:21:55,000
And it's nice to see that they stuck around together as a group.

1230
01:21:55,000 --> 01:21:57,000
Because these guys got promoted through the playoffs.

1231
01:21:57,000 --> 01:21:59,000
And they showed great spirit.

1232
01:21:59,000 --> 01:22:01,000
The exact same type of spirit in the playoffs as well.

1233
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:03,000
They've been doing this since last year, guys.

1234
01:22:03,000 --> 01:22:06,000
They Pavalletti scored winners at the end of games.

1235
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Lovumbo dribbling goalkeepers against Barri and all that.

1236
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:13,000
Lapadoula, last season in the Serie B.

1237
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:17,000
And in the playoffs, he was a fucking ridiculous man.

1238
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:21,000
He was Robin van Bresland.

1239
01:22:21,000 --> 01:22:25,000
But you look at just what, firstly,

1240
01:22:25,000 --> 01:22:31,000
just look at the results Caleri have had in recent times this season.

1241
01:22:31,000 --> 01:22:35,000
So they got off to a bit of a disappointing start.

1242
01:22:35,000 --> 01:22:39,000
They drew to Torino and then they played Inter, Bologna.

1243
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:41,000
Then they drew to Woudiners and they lost to Atalanta.

1244
01:22:41,000 --> 01:22:44,000
They lost to Milan, they lost to Fiorentina, they lost to Roma.

1245
01:22:44,000 --> 01:22:47,000
I remember suggesting the tough spell they had.

1246
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:49,000
And then they even...

1247
01:22:49,000 --> 01:22:55,000
And then there was the 2-2 draw to Salerno and then you see it begins.

1248
01:22:55,000 --> 01:22:57,000
The 4-3 victory against Frozzinone.

1249
01:22:57,000 --> 01:22:59,000
What a comeback!

1250
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:04,000
They go on to the Coppa and they eliminate Odinese.

1251
01:23:04,000 --> 01:23:06,000
Caleri do that.

1252
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:10,000
They come back to Serie A and they beat Genoa at home.

1253
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:12,000
2 goes to 1.

1254
01:23:12,000 --> 01:23:14,000
And then they lose to Juve, 2 goes to 1.

1255
01:23:14,000 --> 01:23:18,000
They hold Monza, who are no fucking joke.

1256
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:21,000
They lose to Lazio, 1-0, Marginal.

1257
01:23:21,000 --> 01:23:24,000
And they had the red card during that game.

1258
01:23:24,000 --> 01:23:28,000
And then they come back in the manner in which they did against Saswolo.

1259
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:31,000
You're not looking at a bad record that this team have over here.

1260
01:23:31,000 --> 01:23:33,000
I'm not even sure, sorry if I missed it.

1261
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:35,000
Did you even mention the 4-3 against Frozzinone?

1262
01:23:35,000 --> 01:23:39,000
Of course, it's kind of what changed everything over there for them.

1263
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:41,000
There's a theme.

1264
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:44,000
It's the hustle that gets them these victories.

1265
01:23:44,000 --> 01:23:47,000
It's the hustle and the hustle is called Leonardo.

1266
01:23:47,000 --> 01:23:48,000
Pavoletti.

1267
01:23:48,000 --> 01:23:49,000
Of course.

1268
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:53,000
But yes, bro, absolutely amazing team, incredible.

1269
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:56,000
Saswolo on the self-destruct button.

1270
01:23:56,000 --> 01:23:57,000
Click, boom!

1271
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:00,000
That is so typical of them.

1272
01:24:00,000 --> 01:24:07,000
However, do not even consider the idea that these guys are going to get relegated because there's no chance.

1273
01:24:07,000 --> 01:24:09,000
Saswolo.

1274
01:24:09,000 --> 01:24:13,000
Saswolo are in 15th with 15 points.

1275
01:24:13,000 --> 01:24:16,000
Kalir, you're in 16th with 13 points.

1276
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:18,000
Monza 1, Gen 1-0.

1277
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:19,000
Good game.

1278
01:24:19,000 --> 01:24:20,000
Good game.

1279
01:24:20,000 --> 01:24:21,000
You're very good game.

1280
01:24:21,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Valentin Karboni had his first start in Serie A.

1281
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:27,000
Showing some good promise for Monza.

1282
01:24:27,000 --> 01:24:29,000
He's been really good coming off the bench.

1283
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:31,000
Gen 1 welcomed back Goodminton.

1284
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:38,000
But the absence of Suspended Malinovsky and the injured Kevin Strutman affected their midfield.

1285
01:24:38,000 --> 01:24:44,000
But this was already a step forward because they've had so many injuries.

1286
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:47,000
It was just good seeing all these names together for the first time.

1287
01:24:47,000 --> 01:24:48,000
For sure.

1288
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:53,000
Now, both teams entered the match with only three points, separating them.

1289
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:57,000
Monza were keen to bounce back after a last gasp defeat to Juve,

1290
01:24:57,000 --> 01:25:01,000
Gen 1 aimed to capitalize on their opponents' recent difficulties.

1291
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:04,000
Pardon me, I almost vomited.

1292
01:25:04,000 --> 01:25:06,000
It does it every episode.

1293
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:10,000
Calderola's last minute withdrawal forced Monza to make a defensive adjustment,

1294
01:25:10,000 --> 01:25:14,000
introducing Pereira to the starting lineup.

1295
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:20,000
Now, the match, because obviously there were certain personnel out and just the way the game was unfolded,

1296
01:25:20,000 --> 01:25:24,000
it showcased quite a bit of defensive vulnerabilities for both sides,

1297
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:29,000
despite the low scoring affair with which it turned out to be.

1298
01:25:29,000 --> 01:25:34,000
Gen 1 had their fair share of opportunities, with Badel having a close-range header,

1299
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:39,000
being crucially blocked by Matteo Pesina,

1300
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:45,000
really getting back into a good position and showing that he is as effective lower down the pitch.

1301
01:25:45,000 --> 01:25:49,000
Retegui squandered a golden opportunity moments later,

1302
01:25:49,000 --> 01:25:54,000
ballooning the ball over the bar from just six yards out.

1303
01:25:54,000 --> 01:25:56,000
He'd be very disappointed with that.

1304
01:25:56,000 --> 01:25:59,000
And then, Monza broke the deadlock in the final minutes,

1305
01:25:59,000 --> 01:26:03,000
when Dani Mota, the substitute, started the move in his own half,

1306
01:26:03,000 --> 01:26:06,000
finished expertly from Pedro Pereira's cross.

1307
01:26:06,000 --> 01:26:11,000
He hadn't scored in 16 minutes in 16 matches, not 16 minutes.

1308
01:26:11,000 --> 01:26:14,000
He hadn't scored in 16 matches before that.

1309
01:26:14,000 --> 01:26:20,000
Gen 1 had an immediate chance to equalize, but Rade Dragousin hit the side.

1310
01:26:20,000 --> 01:26:22,000
Netting...

1311
01:26:22,000 --> 01:26:24,000
He moves like a striker, Dragousin.

1312
01:26:24,000 --> 01:26:27,000
He does, man. He flows, doesn't he, Dragousin?

1313
01:26:27,000 --> 01:26:30,000
And he's another defender that gets into a good position.

1314
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:32,000
He really can't bomb, man. This is a trend.

1315
01:26:32,000 --> 01:26:33,000
Not these 3-5-2s.

1316
01:26:33,000 --> 01:26:38,000
Netting, you know how you made that TikTok of top five midfielders

1317
01:26:38,000 --> 01:26:41,000
to keep their eyes out on Lemidou Centabax?

1318
01:26:41,000 --> 01:26:42,000
Do it.

1319
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:46,000
I could literally say them right now, but I won't, because it will spoil it.

1320
01:26:46,000 --> 01:26:49,000
Scalvini, Bonjourno, Dragousin.

1321
01:26:50,000 --> 01:26:52,000
Two more. Do you know what they are, though?

1322
01:26:52,000 --> 01:26:53,000
Yes.

1323
01:26:55,000 --> 01:26:56,000
Pongratcic.

1324
01:26:56,000 --> 01:26:58,000
And Pongratcic. Oh, a basquerotto.

1325
01:26:58,000 --> 01:26:59,000
A basquerotto.

1326
01:26:59,000 --> 01:27:00,000
Yeah, it's fun to watch.

1327
01:27:00,000 --> 01:27:03,000
But then he put basquerote, he can't put Pongratcic, I think.

1328
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:06,000
Ah, because too let's show it. I'll think about it.

1329
01:27:06,000 --> 01:27:08,000
But that's interesting. I would totally, I love that shit.

1330
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:09,000
We should totally do it.

1331
01:27:09,000 --> 01:27:11,000
I have some cool ones.

1332
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:17,000
So I brought up a point on the group chat, which Cesko disagreed with God.

1333
01:27:17,000 --> 01:27:18,000
God bless him.

1334
01:27:19,000 --> 01:27:24,000
Where I said that I prefer the role that Pesina has taken at Monza,

1335
01:27:24,000 --> 01:27:27,000
as opposed to the role he had at Atalanta.

1336
01:27:27,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Now, obviously at Atalanta, he was in heavy rotation,

1337
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:34,000
because they had Miran Czuk, they had Malinovsky,

1338
01:27:34,000 --> 01:27:37,000
and they had all these guys in the attacking midfield role.

1339
01:27:37,000 --> 01:27:39,000
But he was playing as an attacking midfielder.

1340
01:27:39,000 --> 01:27:42,000
Here at Monza, he's really matured into this,

1341
01:27:42,000 --> 01:27:44,000
you would say box-to-box midfielder.

1342
01:27:44,000 --> 01:27:47,000
But a very mature one at that,

1343
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:52,000
pardon me, that really prioritizes the defense,

1344
01:27:52,000 --> 01:27:59,000
and the, let's say, the Madonna, the balance of the midfield.

1345
01:27:59,000 --> 01:28:00,000
It does a great job over there.

1346
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:02,000
You see him getting back in this game,

1347
01:28:02,000 --> 01:28:04,000
and getting a crucial block over there.

1348
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:05,000
It's not the first time we see it.

1349
01:28:05,000 --> 01:28:10,000
I think this position is better suited for him,

1350
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:14,000
especially when you consider he's not incredibly refined

1351
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:16,000
in front of goal and in or around the box.

1352
01:28:16,000 --> 01:28:19,000
He has good moments in him, but it's not like he's consistent there.

1353
01:28:19,000 --> 01:28:20,000
What do you think?

1354
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:22,000
I think he's a very smart player.

1355
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:27,000
I think he is very mature and works very hard.

1356
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:30,000
And if you look at the possession stats of Monza,

1357
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:35,000
the defenders seem to have the most of the ball.

1358
01:28:35,000 --> 01:28:39,000
And then from the outfield players, besides the centre-backs,

1359
01:28:39,000 --> 01:28:41,000
it's Pesina.

1360
01:28:41,000 --> 01:28:43,000
Everything goes through him.

1361
01:28:43,000 --> 01:28:48,000
And Pesina is just the heart and soul of this Monza team at the moment,

1362
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:51,000
in the double pivot alongside Galliardini.

1363
01:28:51,000 --> 01:28:53,000
They make a really good duo,

1364
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:57,000
and it's almost like they're running for three people sometimes.

1365
01:28:57,000 --> 01:29:01,000
So I do like this new role for him.

1366
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:04,000
I don't think as a trick artist he was...

1367
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:07,000
I don't think he had a shout, for example,

1368
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:09,000
for a starting spot in the national team.

1369
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:12,000
But in this role, he might one day.

1370
01:29:12,000 --> 01:29:15,000
He might one day, because he's not even that old.

1371
01:29:15,000 --> 01:29:18,000
He's 26 years old.

1372
01:29:18,000 --> 01:29:19,000
26.

1373
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:21,000
Pesina at the same age.

1374
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,000
That's great for my confidence.

1375
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:25,000
Fantastic.

1376
01:29:25,000 --> 01:29:27,000
I would agree with you over there.

1377
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:30,000
He has a brighter future in the role he's playing.

1378
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:33,000
And I think if Monza were to win a few more penalties,

1379
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:35,000
he could have the Chalonoglu effect,

1380
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:37,000
because he is decent from the spot.

1381
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:39,000
Yes, and he's so manly.

1382
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,000
It's a pleasure to have one of the teams,

1383
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:43,000
because he can fill in any position anywhere.

1384
01:29:43,000 --> 01:29:46,000
They are just a team of locals, in the Eman Monza.

1385
01:29:46,000 --> 01:29:49,000
Look at the amount of Italians over there.

1386
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:51,000
Was this an all-Italian eleven-bar career?

1387
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:53,000
No, not an all-Italian.

1388
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,000
Pereira.

1389
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:57,000
I think that's it.

1390
01:29:57,000 --> 01:29:59,000
Everyone is Italian.

1391
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:01,000
Churria, Carboni, Colpani, Colombo, Galliardini, Pesina,

1392
01:30:01,000 --> 01:30:03,000
Carboni, D'Ambrosio, Di Gregorio.

1393
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:05,000
Give me a break.

1394
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:07,000
Damn, well, you need some...

1395
01:30:07,000 --> 01:30:09,000
some cheese on it, man.

1396
01:30:09,000 --> 01:30:12,000
You've got yourself many different plates of pasta.

1397
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:14,000
I think Pereira had a good game.

1398
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:16,000
He grabbed an assist.

1399
01:30:16,000 --> 01:30:18,000
And this was obviously...

1400
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,000
weren't expecting him to start over there.

1401
01:30:20,000 --> 01:30:23,000
Let's jump to Genoa.

1402
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:25,000
Genoa have a very good starting eleven,

1403
01:30:25,000 --> 01:30:28,000
and they had a great campaign in Serie B last year.

1404
01:30:28,000 --> 01:30:31,000
Do you think they're underperforming, overperforming,

1405
01:30:31,000 --> 01:30:35,000
or performing up to their standard in Serie A this season?

1406
01:30:35,000 --> 01:30:38,000
So I don't think they're underperforming,

1407
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:40,000
and I don't think they're overperforming.

1408
01:30:40,000 --> 01:30:45,000
I think they're doing just fine considering the situation.

1409
01:30:45,000 --> 01:30:49,000
They seem to have missing pieces at different times.

1410
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:52,000
So when they started the season,

1411
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:55,000
and Tagui was fit, and Goodman's in was fit,

1412
01:30:55,000 --> 01:30:58,000
they were flying pretty much.

1413
01:30:58,000 --> 01:31:00,000
Don't say flying.

1414
01:31:00,000 --> 01:31:02,000
They were flying, but they were up there.

1415
01:31:02,000 --> 01:31:04,000
They were getting their victories.

1416
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,000
If you look at the way they started the season,

1417
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:08,000
I think they even beat Roma, if I'm not mistaken.

1418
01:31:08,000 --> 01:31:11,000
Yeah, they beat Roma as well. They were doing very well.

1419
01:31:11,000 --> 01:31:13,000
But then everything seemed to fall apart.

1420
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:15,000
Tagui's been struggling with injuries.

1421
01:31:15,000 --> 01:31:17,000
Junior Messias wasn't available from the start

1422
01:31:17,000 --> 01:31:19,000
and has only become available recently.

1423
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:22,000
Malinowski picked up form late as well.

1424
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:25,000
He picked up form when Messias, Goodman and Zinedine were all out.

1425
01:31:25,000 --> 01:31:28,000
So that was actually a pretty good thing for them.

1426
01:31:28,000 --> 01:31:31,000
But I think when everyone's fit and together,

1427
01:31:31,000 --> 01:31:34,000
I think that this team will definitely stay up.

1428
01:31:34,000 --> 01:31:36,000
They beat Roma for one. I forgot about that.

1429
01:31:36,000 --> 01:31:38,000
They were flying, bro.

1430
01:31:38,000 --> 01:31:41,000
And they also had that mental game against Milan

1431
01:31:41,000 --> 01:31:44,000
with Jeroos stepping in goal and all that.

1432
01:31:44,000 --> 01:31:46,000
And they were really pushing at the end.

1433
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:49,000
But now it seems that with all these injury problems,

1434
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:51,000
granted, their players are back now,

1435
01:31:51,000 --> 01:31:53,000
but they're not as much fit and they're still struggling

1436
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,000
in the second half to see out games.

1437
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:58,000
Because now they're just starting their best players

1438
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:00,000
who can't play a full 90 minutes

1439
01:32:00,000 --> 01:32:02,000
and having to replace them for lesser players.

1440
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:05,000
I think they'll survive.

1441
01:32:05,000 --> 01:32:07,000
I think they'll survive.

1442
01:32:07,000 --> 01:32:10,000
To be honest, I don't know why I don't even think of it as a question.

1443
01:32:10,000 --> 01:32:13,000
I think they have a lot of quality in their team.

1444
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:16,000
I think they have a good manager in Giordino.

1445
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:18,000
And I think their best is yet to come.

1446
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:21,000
We've seen flashes, but I still think that

1447
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,000
a lot of these players, like I mentioned, Messias,

1448
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:26,000
knew from Milan won this area.

1449
01:32:26,000 --> 01:32:27,000
OK, Leo.

1450
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,000
Malinowski, star.

1451
01:32:30,000 --> 01:32:32,000
He's a star of a player.

1452
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:35,000
Retegui as well, young talent.

1453
01:32:35,000 --> 01:32:37,000
Young, inverted commas.

1454
01:32:37,000 --> 01:32:39,000
By Italian standard.

1455
01:32:39,000 --> 01:32:42,000
Malinowski, star by Italian standard.

1456
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:45,000
But there are all these new pieces coming in.

1457
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:50,000
And once they gel, they could really be like the Monsar of last season.

1458
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:54,000
And just like Monsar, they have a fantastic tactician at the helm.

1459
01:32:54,000 --> 01:32:57,000
Because Giordino has this great willingness to shift formation,

1460
01:32:57,000 --> 01:32:59,000
to adapt the games.

1461
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:01,000
I really like him as a manager.

1462
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:04,000
Some of his offensive tools have been available recently

1463
01:33:04,000 --> 01:33:07,000
in Ecopana and Puskas, as we say every episode.

1464
01:33:07,000 --> 01:33:10,000
They're not quite the standard, but you know how it is.

1465
01:33:10,000 --> 01:33:12,000
Monsar in ninth on 21 points.

1466
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,000
Pardon me.

1467
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:16,000
Gen 1, 14th on 15th.

1468
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:18,000
Drink every time you have to excuse my brother.

1469
01:33:18,000 --> 01:33:20,000
Well, it's the beer.

1470
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:22,000
It's the beer.

1471
01:33:22,000 --> 01:33:26,000
So, bro, Verona held Lazio 1-1 at home, right?

1472
01:33:26,000 --> 01:33:27,000
Yeah.

1473
01:33:27,000 --> 01:33:32,000
They played a 4-2-3-1 formation with Serdar and Soslov

1474
01:33:32,000 --> 01:33:35,000
and Dengonj playing behind Dürich.

1475
01:33:35,000 --> 01:33:39,000
While for Lazio, they had Luis Alberto back.

1476
01:33:39,000 --> 01:33:42,000
It was pretty much business as usual, other than that.

1477
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:46,000
With Shasaleh also stepping back into the centre-back position,

1478
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:53,000
replacing Patrick, who has since reunited with SpongeBob.

1479
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:56,000
The game began with Lazio dictating the tempo,

1480
01:33:56,000 --> 01:34:00,000
but struggling to break through Verona's defence.

1481
01:34:00,000 --> 01:34:03,000
However, there was a swift combination between Lazari and Philip Anderson,

1482
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:07,000
which led to Zakanese's superb backheel finish.

1483
01:34:07,000 --> 01:34:11,000
I was particularly impressed by Lazari this game.

1484
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:14,000
He was really lively and technical,

1485
01:34:14,000 --> 01:34:18,000
and really squeezing through tight spaces between opponents

1486
01:34:18,000 --> 01:34:20,000
and keeping the ball.

1487
01:34:20,000 --> 01:34:23,000
Yeah, he was very involved. I'm still laughing.

1488
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:28,000
Imagine you mentioned a TikTok trend or something to Patrick.

1489
01:34:28,000 --> 01:34:30,000
He doesn't know what you're talking about.

1490
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:32,000
He's like, have you been living under a rock?

1491
01:34:32,000 --> 01:34:39,000
I'm like, yes. Anyway, with all Seria podcast,

1492
01:34:39,000 --> 01:34:43,000
let's get back to it then.

1493
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:47,000
Goddamn Patrick living under a rock.

1494
01:34:47,000 --> 01:34:49,000
That's hilarious, bro.

1495
01:34:49,000 --> 01:34:53,000
Yes, it was the 23rd minute when Zakanese decided to flick the switch,

1496
01:34:53,000 --> 01:34:57,000
channeling his inner Luis Alberto.

1497
01:34:57,000 --> 01:34:59,000
He didn't celebrate.

1498
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:03,000
He's a Hela's Verona player, and he's had many good moments at Hela's Verona.

1499
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:06,000
They really made him the player he is today,

1500
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:09,000
so of course he did not celebrate. Nice to see.

1501
01:35:09,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Following the goal, Lazari adopted a more cautious approach,

1502
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:17,000
and allowed Verona to gradually exert themselves.

1503
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:20,000
Despite the limited attacking threats from the host before half-time,

1504
01:35:20,000 --> 01:35:25,000
Bonj's header posed a minor threat handled by Immobilia

1505
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:27,000
before it could trouble Providell.

1506
01:35:27,000 --> 01:35:29,000
That's funny.

1507
01:35:29,000 --> 01:35:31,000
The first half ended with Lazio in the league.

1508
01:35:31,000 --> 01:35:34,000
The second half saw Baroni's tactical changes.

1509
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:38,000
He injected more offensive impetus with substitutions.

1510
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:42,000
On reason, introduction proved to be the pivotal one,

1511
01:35:42,000 --> 01:35:47,000
equalizing in the 70th minute after Sussloff's delivery.

1512
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:52,000
Now it's 1-1, and later on, Ciasale would score a goal.

1513
01:35:52,000 --> 01:35:55,000
Another X for Verona.

1514
01:35:55,000 --> 01:36:01,000
However, a VAR review clearly showed that he had shoved Duda to the ground

1515
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:06,000
before winning that header, so of course the goal was cancelled.

1516
01:36:06,000 --> 01:36:10,000
Shortly after, Duda received a second yellow card,

1517
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:12,000
reducing Verona to 10 men.

1518
01:36:12,000 --> 01:36:15,000
Lazio had a numerical advantage, and tried to push forward

1519
01:36:15,000 --> 01:36:18,000
in search for a winner, but they didn't manage.

1520
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:23,000
They had chances, but Castellanios and Vecino failed to convert them.

1521
01:36:23,000 --> 01:36:28,000
The 1-1 was a pretty fair result, in my opinion, over you.

1522
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:30,000
Yes, I think so.

1523
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:38,000
I think Lazio's inability to kill the game was kind of what the theme of this game was.

1524
01:36:38,000 --> 01:36:44,000
Even if you look at the most recent upsets,

1525
01:36:44,000 --> 01:36:48,000
the last one which was against Salernetana, that was that as well.

1526
01:36:48,000 --> 01:36:53,000
Immobilis scored a penalty before the stroke of half-time.

1527
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:57,000
They didn't manage to kill the game, and Salernetana grew back into it.

1528
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:00,000
I think Lazio are missing that.

1529
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:03,000
Like last season, they were so good at attacking.

1530
01:37:03,000 --> 01:37:07,000
You look at what they did to Milan with the 4-1 game,

1531
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:13,000
and the way that the entire team was linking up Zacani on fire, Milinkovic-Savic,

1532
01:37:13,000 --> 01:37:16,000
obviously last season, Luis Alberto on hot form.

1533
01:37:16,000 --> 01:37:22,000
Immobilis still had it, even though he started to slow down a little bit last season.

1534
01:37:22,000 --> 01:37:26,000
But they're not those killers that they were, Lazio.

1535
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:32,000
You see this game against Verona, they really allowed Verona to play their game.

1536
01:37:32,000 --> 01:37:35,000
Now Verona is against who can they play their game.

1537
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:38,000
You know what I mean? But they were allowed to bring it, quite frankly.

1538
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:47,000
Look, they're a team whose best playmakers barring Luis Alberto, who's just on a different level when he wants to turn things on,

1539
01:37:47,000 --> 01:37:50,000
are their wingers, and they have pretty good depth in their winger position,

1540
01:37:50,000 --> 01:37:54,000
because they have Philippe Anderson, they've got Zacani, they've got Pedro, okay, okay.

1541
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:56,000
Those three can all create a goal.

1542
01:37:56,000 --> 01:38:00,000
Then up front they've got Immobilis, the veteran, and they've got the new guy Castellanius.

1543
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:04,000
But then you look at the midfield man, they have no solution if Luis Alberto isn't working.

1544
01:38:04,000 --> 01:38:06,000
It's flat, it's so flat.

1545
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:12,000
They brought in Vecino, but Vecino isn't the type of player you're going to bring on to pick a pass out,

1546
01:38:12,000 --> 01:38:18,000
to play that killer pass, that through ball to Immobilis, to one lesion.

1547
01:38:18,000 --> 01:38:20,000
So they're clearly struggling.

1548
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:26,000
And Sarri has said himself that he struggles to find what the problem is with this side,

1549
01:38:26,000 --> 01:38:29,000
and why he can't seem to get them flowing.

1550
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:33,000
So they clearly have some problems right now.

1551
01:38:33,000 --> 01:38:37,000
The problem is if they keep dropping points, it's going to get worse and worse and worse.

1552
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:41,000
And if they thought losing Mlnkovic-Sovic was bad, if they don't make Champions League,

1553
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:43,000
they're going to lose a lot more players.

1554
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:48,000
You know, I mean they're in tenth right now, with 21 points, that's not very good at all.

1555
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:53,000
You look at Veron, on the other hand, they are in 19th with 11 points,

1556
01:38:53,000 --> 01:38:58,000
flirting with safety as they're a point away, but yeah, they've got a lot of work to do.

1557
01:38:58,000 --> 01:39:03,000
And they do seem to be getting more organised, especially defensively.

1558
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:08,000
They're very similar to Udinese in my opinion, but they have more technique.

1559
01:39:08,000 --> 01:39:12,000
We've said this, I think this is like the third season in a row where we draw a vampire.

1560
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:17,000
They are so similar, man. They're both tight, too tight teams, hard to penetrate.

1561
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:24,000
Veron, although, don't have as much technically gifted left-footed players as Udinese, as you say.

1562
01:39:24,000 --> 01:39:27,000
Good to mention as well, brother, the return of Thomas Henri,

1563
01:39:27,000 --> 01:39:32,000
he's now scored two very important goals for Helas Verona in his last two appearances,

1564
01:39:32,000 --> 01:39:35,000
where he came on for a Jewish.

1565
01:39:35,000 --> 01:39:41,000
So this is a guy that, by the way, who was he with before Verona?

1566
01:39:41,000 --> 01:39:42,000
Venetia.

1567
01:39:42,000 --> 01:39:46,000
Venetia, he was a record-breaking signing for them.

1568
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:51,000
And so he always has, and he was one of the players that stayed in Serie A

1569
01:39:51,000 --> 01:39:55,000
when the rest of the team went down to Serie B.

1570
01:39:55,000 --> 01:40:02,000
So, like, eyes on him, because, okay, he's got a shitty attitude,

1571
01:40:02,000 --> 01:40:06,000
but there's something about him that makes clubs spend millions of people on.

1572
01:40:06,000 --> 01:40:11,000
Yeah, and apparently, Sierra Metti, senior Thomas Henri, you know?

1573
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:13,000
Sure.

1574
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:15,000
Twice in a row, no?

1575
01:40:15,000 --> 01:40:21,000
So we jumped to Empoli Lecce, it was a one-one draw.

1576
01:40:21,000 --> 01:40:27,000
It was a tightly contested match, the result temporarily lifted Empoli out of the relegation zone,

1577
01:40:27,000 --> 01:40:30,000
while Lecce stayed in 13th place throughout.

1578
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:35,000
The game saw Simone Bastoni's early free kick sailing over the crossbar as the first attempt,

1579
01:40:35,000 --> 01:40:39,000
and Polis Nicola Cambiaghi created a threatening chance with a low cross,

1580
01:40:39,000 --> 01:40:44,000
but Lecce's Falcon, the main character, denied the subsequent effort.

1581
01:40:44,000 --> 01:40:47,000
Lecce's Piccoli had opportunities but couldn't convert,

1582
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:52,000
and Nicola Sansone's attempt was collected safely by Falcone.

1583
01:40:52,000 --> 01:40:59,000
Cambiaghi had a promising breakaway chance, but Falcone's strong positioning denied him the chance,

1584
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,000
that was a good opportunity for Empoli,

1585
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:06,000
and Caputo was shortly after substitute due to an injury just before halftime,

1586
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:09,000
and the second half saw both teams making some changes.

1587
01:41:09,000 --> 01:41:19,000
Christovic and Rafia entered the game with Banda breaking the deadlock at the 64th minute, with a long-range shot that surprised Berisha.

1588
01:41:19,000 --> 01:41:27,000
We can call it a blunder by Berisha, because the shot was from miles out, and it went under his legs.

1589
01:41:27,000 --> 01:41:34,000
I was a goalkeeper, and if you listen to, well, when I was fucking 12, like, you know.

1590
01:41:34,000 --> 01:41:36,000
But he was lit, eh? He was good.

1591
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:38,000
I was fucking mental, bro.

1592
01:41:38,000 --> 01:41:43,000
He was so good, you know, they used to use the big goalpost, the actual size,

1593
01:41:43,000 --> 01:41:47,000
and he was 12 years old, he was flying, saving top corner efforts, you know.

1594
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:49,000
That's a lie, by the way.

1595
01:41:49,000 --> 01:41:52,000
No, they used to use quite big goalposts, bro.

1596
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:54,000
Really? No, I'm talking the full size.

1597
01:41:54,000 --> 01:41:59,000
It wasn't 11, like I could barely reach the top over there, but they used to use bigger ones.

1598
01:41:59,000 --> 01:42:03,000
I mean, at that age, they tell you to shoot from as far as possible, they're like the goalkeepers, small, have it.

1599
01:42:03,000 --> 01:42:07,000
Yes, they have it, bro. Fucking magnet matting, all of the time.

1600
01:42:07,000 --> 01:42:09,000
Yeah, they have a magnet matting.

1601
01:42:09,000 --> 01:42:14,000
But one of the first things they teach you is when you're picking up a ball that's rolling towards you,

1602
01:42:14,000 --> 01:42:19,000
you don't open your legs, bend over, and go to pick it up, but you kneel down,

1603
01:42:19,000 --> 01:42:23,000
you put your knee behind your other knee or leg, and you collect it,

1604
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:27,000
so that if the ball slips between your legs, it's gonna hit your knee.

1605
01:42:27,000 --> 01:42:31,000
And to me, it looked like he was about to do that, and then he stopped himself.

1606
01:42:31,000 --> 01:42:36,000
So I don't want to, you know, accuse someone of match fixing, but go look at it.

1607
01:42:36,000 --> 01:42:41,000
And tell me it wasn't either super amateur or daylight rubbery.

1608
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:43,000
And it was unlike him, because these are the brilliance he's in upon.

1609
01:42:43,000 --> 01:42:44,000
Really? I see.

1610
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:48,000
And even this game with the ball at his feet, he was looking really confident, it was weird.

1611
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:52,000
Yeah, I don't know if it's...

1612
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:56,000
I doubt it, but then again, it's Italian football, so the hell knows.

1613
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:00,000
Shall we just move on to Jossy's bicycle kick, man?

1614
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:07,000
I feel a bit bad for Jossy now, because we really put this area spotlight on him.

1615
01:43:07,000 --> 01:43:11,000
And I really don't want to harry McGuire his career, man.

1616
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:14,000
Bro, did the thing. But Jossy's blessed, though.

1617
01:43:14,000 --> 01:43:20,000
He'll score goals and big opportunities, so his career will be praised wherever he goes in Italy later on.

1618
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:27,000
Moments later, Empoli equalize as Kambi Aghi's intended cross to cut deflection of Raffia,

1619
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:30,000
whooping into the net, which went down as an own goal.

1620
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:36,000
Empoli pressed for a winner with Falco and making a couple of crucial saves while Lecce defended resolutely.

1621
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:41,000
The match ended 1-1 with Empoli climbing to 17th place for a moment,

1622
01:43:41,000 --> 01:43:47,000
one point above the relegation zone and Lecce maintaining their 13th position.

1623
01:43:47,000 --> 01:43:52,000
I must say, bro, that I have a few points to make about this game.

1624
01:43:52,000 --> 01:44:01,000
So, first of all, Banda, despite all his clear limitations and the fact that he's not always effective,

1625
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:08,000
if he attempts five maneuvers and fails four of them, that one he manages can be devastating.

1626
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:13,000
And he often leaves his opponents in the dirt, and this match even saw him outmustling his opponents on many occasions.

1627
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:16,000
He had a pretty good game over here.

1628
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:25,000
And Spendi, Steven Spendi, has very good hold up play, very good, seems to be an interesting player.

1629
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:31,000
And I must say that at the end of the game, Fazzini was so unlucky not to get that ball across the face of goal.

1630
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:34,000
He squeezed past the defender so brilliantly, often knocking it back over.

1631
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:39,000
I was sure he couldn't get into that position, but he managed and he squared it across the face of goal,

1632
01:44:39,000 --> 01:44:42,000
but it was cleared by a defender.

1633
01:44:42,000 --> 01:44:48,000
Also, smart management by Davirsa, who waited until half-time to make a substitution,

1634
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:51,000
because as you know, there are three substitute slots.

1635
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:55,000
You can make five substitutions, but they have to be in three slots, right?

1636
01:44:55,000 --> 01:45:01,000
So, Kaputo had fallen injured in the 41st minute and he brought on Steven Spendi.

1637
01:45:01,000 --> 01:45:06,000
And then, shortly after, Berezinski got injured, so he waited until half-time to bring on Tyrone,

1638
01:45:06,000 --> 01:45:08,000
and that way the slot wasn't used up.

1639
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:10,000
Very smart by Andriy Azoli.

1640
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:12,000
Yeah, cute.

1641
01:45:12,000 --> 01:45:16,000
Do you think there was a team that deserved to take three points over here?

1642
01:45:16,000 --> 01:45:20,000
That's a very good question, actually.

1643
01:45:20,000 --> 01:45:23,000
It was a very standard one when there's a draw.

1644
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:29,000
Yes, but I hadn't thought about it.

1645
01:45:29,000 --> 01:45:35,000
I think Ampoli were slightly better, but I don't think...

1646
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:40,000
Look, at the end of the day, Ampoli played a more refined brand of football than Lecce, which isn't very common.

1647
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:46,000
And Lecce's goal did come through a terrible goalkeeping blunder,

1648
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:50,000
even though the other goal was also a blunder and it was no goal.

1649
01:45:50,000 --> 01:45:52,000
So no, fuck it, draw deserved.

1650
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:54,000
No, there was no team that deserved the victory.

1651
01:45:54,000 --> 01:45:56,000
Well, fair enough, brother.

1652
01:45:56,000 --> 01:46:04,000
Ampoli are in 18th on 12 points, while Lecce, God bless them, 13th on 17 points.

1653
01:46:04,000 --> 01:46:06,000
God bless them, eh?

1654
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:09,000
Frostinone Torino is the finale of this episode.

1655
01:46:09,000 --> 01:46:13,000
And it's not a very exciting one, to be honest with you.

1656
01:46:13,000 --> 01:46:16,000
But look who's back. Richie.

1657
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:18,000
Richie is back somewhere, Richie.

1658
01:46:18,000 --> 01:46:22,000
Playing alongside Billic and Vlasic in the middle over there for Torino.

1659
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:24,000
Torino are looking better, they're looking very sharp.

1660
01:46:24,000 --> 01:46:28,000
They lined up the 3-5-2 formation with Dubvan and Sanabria up front together,

1661
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:33,000
while Frostinone lined up with an interesting 3-4-3 formation

1662
01:46:33,000 --> 01:46:35,000
and they listened to this.

1663
01:46:35,000 --> 01:46:38,000
They had Soulet, who was born in 2003,

1664
01:46:38,000 --> 01:46:41,000
Kyo George, who was born in 2002,

1665
01:46:41,000 --> 01:46:45,000
and Ibrahimovic, who was born in 2005.

1666
01:46:45,000 --> 01:46:47,000
This team is so young, man.

1667
01:46:47,000 --> 01:46:49,000
Yeah, all starting in the front.

1668
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:53,000
All starting up front, forming the front 3-4 Frostinone.

1669
01:46:53,000 --> 01:46:59,000
Now, this was a bit of a surprise tactical setup from the French Ressignation,

1670
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:01,000
one really saw it coming.

1671
01:47:01,000 --> 01:47:07,000
The first half wasn't the Frostinone we're used to seeing.

1672
01:47:07,000 --> 01:47:12,000
It wasn't as flowing as continuous kind of football.

1673
01:47:12,000 --> 01:47:16,000
And I think that's mostly with Torino's attempt to disrupt their gameplay.

1674
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:18,000
Yeah, they are a very disruptive team, Torino,

1675
01:47:18,000 --> 01:47:21,000
and they're a very organized team at that, they're a U-rich team.

1676
01:47:21,000 --> 01:47:24,000
They really are. So the first half did lack continuous flow.

1677
01:47:24,000 --> 01:47:30,000
It was marked by fragmented play and heightened aggression.

1678
01:47:30,000 --> 01:47:32,000
It seems to be the theme of the week.

1679
01:47:32,000 --> 01:47:37,000
There were also a few controversial refereeing decisions by the referee over here.

1680
01:47:37,000 --> 01:47:41,000
Torino had two clear chances, one from Zapata's header of a corner,

1681
01:47:41,000 --> 01:47:45,000
narrowly missing Tirati's goal, and another powerful long-range strike

1682
01:47:45,000 --> 01:47:48,000
that hit the post by Ilic.

1683
01:47:48,000 --> 01:47:55,000
Going back to the referee in consistency or controversy in this game,

1684
01:47:55,000 --> 01:47:58,000
Oiono had 2,000 in a row and should have probably been sent off,

1685
01:47:58,000 --> 01:48:04,000
while there was a penalty call for a challenge by Bon Joir on Georgia.

1686
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:09,000
The second half saw Frostinone as best chance when Ibrahimovic found

1687
01:48:09,000 --> 01:48:14,000
Kaio, Georgia free in the box, only to be denied by Milinkovic-Savage's reflex save.

1688
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:20,000
Both Di Francesco and U-Ritch made tactical substitutions to try to change the game.

1689
01:48:20,000 --> 01:48:23,000
Karamoch's introduction led to a chance for Zapata,

1690
01:48:23,000 --> 01:48:26,000
but Tirati pulled off a wonderful save.

1691
01:48:26,000 --> 01:48:29,000
Over there, probably one of the saves of the week, there were quite a few.

1692
01:48:29,000 --> 01:48:30,000
Brilliant save.

1693
01:48:30,000 --> 01:48:34,000
Despite Torino's late surge and the disallowed offside goal,

1694
01:48:34,000 --> 01:48:40,000
the game ended go-less and both teams were unable to take home all three points.

1695
01:48:40,000 --> 01:48:45,000
A fun nil-nil, nothing really eventful over here.

1696
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:51,000
Two teams who are entertaining, Frostinone particularly a very entertaining football team,

1697
01:48:51,000 --> 01:48:54,000
while Torino on the other hand are kind of on the up

1698
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:57,000
and seem to be rediscovering themselves again.

1699
01:48:57,000 --> 01:49:01,000
To be honest, I was expecting a little bit more from Torino,

1700
01:49:01,000 --> 01:49:05,000
just because they just came away from a massive 3-nil victory against Atalanta,

1701
01:49:05,000 --> 01:49:11,000
but it doesn't seem like Torino are a team that very much ride in negative or positive spells.

1702
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:19,000
And this is a Frostinone aside who have taken points from the likes of Atalanta and Fiorentina at home,

1703
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:23,000
so they did have to proceed with caution because these guys have some bite about them.

1704
01:49:23,000 --> 01:49:27,000
So yeah, I thought this was a fair draw to be honest.

1705
01:49:27,000 --> 01:49:35,000
Nothing crazy apart from the maybe refereeing drama, but you know that we don't really enjoy discussing that.

1706
01:49:35,000 --> 01:49:39,000
We don't get into that too much. We're not referees ourselves,

1707
01:49:39,000 --> 01:49:44,000
nor are we VAR operators, whatever the fuck they call them nowadays.

1708
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:46,000
Smooth operator.

1709
01:49:46,000 --> 01:49:52,000
Torino are in 11th with 20 points, while Frostinone are in 12th with 19 points.

1710
01:49:52,000 --> 01:49:59,000
That is not all from us this week, guys, as obviously tomorrow we're going to be recording our question segment.

1711
01:49:59,000 --> 01:50:05,000
We've got two weeks built up of questions, so definitely have a conversation or two together,

1712
01:50:05,000 --> 01:50:09,000
addressing your questions, your hot takes, so on and so forth.

1713
01:50:09,000 --> 01:50:14,000
Until then, if you enjoyed this, make sure that you follow us on all of our socials.

1714
01:50:14,000 --> 01:50:19,000
And rate us five stars wherever you're listening, that helps our growth tremendously.

1715
01:50:19,000 --> 01:50:21,000
And keep listening to us.

1716
01:50:21,000 --> 01:50:23,000
Thank you very much, guys, we made it this far.

1717
01:50:23,000 --> 01:50:25,000
Thank you, love you, goodnight.

1718
01:50:26,000 --> 01:50:29,000
This is Serie A Spotlight.

1719
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:37,000
If you like Serie A or have ever liked it in the past, it's a good opportunity for you to listen once a week and you'll get filled in.

1720
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:44,000
In the football weekend, that's like the main dish, but then a few days later you drop your episode and that's like the dessert.

1721
01:50:44,000 --> 01:50:46,000
And the dessert is just perfect.

1722
01:50:46,000 --> 01:50:47,000
Is Wu Picchi?

1723
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:52,000
It makes it feel like we're all sitting in a room together, just be assing with each other.

1724
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:54,000
The atmosphere is fantastic.

1725
01:50:54,000 --> 01:50:58,000
I promise nobody will ask you to send Boob pics.

1726
01:50:58,000 --> 01:51:01,000
And sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.

1727
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:08,000
I love how you go into so much detail and show so much passion towards each and every team.

1728
01:51:08,000 --> 01:51:12,000
Literally no team is left undiscussed.

1729
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:19,000
When I listen to you, it's like I'm talking to you in a pub. It's like I'm chatting to a friend and you're chatting to me.
