1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,000
Rasmudori, good run, clever cut back as well, Oseeman.

2
00:00:06,000 --> 00:00:10,000
Still Oseeman, great desire, Kvarrasenja!

3
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:26,000
Hello and welcome back to Seria a spotlight. This is episode 104 where your host Jake and Matt here to describe all the events of matchday 16 in Seria.

4
00:00:26,000 --> 00:00:50,000
As you guys heard from our intro, our goal of the week was Kvarraskeleja's easy finish to be honest, which went in of the post, but we chose this because of the fantastic work of Victor Oseeman who juggled the ball in the box 7 times and before dragging the ball between the legs of the defender and squaring the ball to Kvarras who had an empty net to finish Oseeman made that goal.

5
00:00:50,000 --> 00:00:52,000
He became a Brazilian on the beach bro.

6
00:00:52,000 --> 00:00:54,000
Exactly, that's it.

7
00:00:54,000 --> 00:01:01,000
Kvarras almost missed it, it has to be said, he was lucky that it hit the right side of the post and went in.

8
00:01:01,000 --> 00:01:04,000
You could see him staring at it with sheer anxiety.

9
00:01:04,000 --> 00:01:20,000
He froze up. A close second was Louis Muriel's goal which was a beautifully struck strike. It doesn't look that hard to score that goal but the technique on that shot was brilliant to keep it low, to keep it rising, just rising upwards into the top corner.

10
00:01:20,000 --> 00:01:34,000
The technique which he hit with the outside of his foot from outside the box, it was the best way to describe this, when you hit a corner and someone clears it and it falls to a madman outside the box. That madman was Muriel, except he's a madman with a bunch of technique.

11
00:01:34,000 --> 00:01:44,000
Exactly, he didn't lean back, people often lean back. Another close contender in my opinion was Goodman's goal for Giannava while they were all playing key pops.

12
00:01:44,000 --> 00:02:00,000
Kubaan's assist was perfect. Of course, there was Reinders with his trademark run down the middle. He channeled some sort of inner caca that he has in him when he makes those kinds of runs.

13
00:02:00,000 --> 00:02:14,000
Not much did Gregorio could have done from close range and how I wish Sanabria's goal wasn't offside because that would have been the goal of the week. Ravushata into the top corner like that. Wow.

14
00:02:14,000 --> 00:02:20,000
Absolutely sensational. That's a shame, he was in an offside position, right?

15
00:02:20,000 --> 00:02:26,000
I believe there was an offside in the build up, I don't think it was him directly.

16
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:36,000
Remember guys to follow us on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube to stay up to date with our latest things. We've got a few cool things in the mix guys, stay tuned.

17
00:02:36,000 --> 00:02:44,000
It does really help if you rate us 5 stars, we're re-listening it to subscribe to our YouTube because we're a bit late on the YouTube bandwagon.

18
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
It would help if you guys could just go there and pop a follow, that would be pretty cool.

19
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:50,000
Help us out a bit.

20
00:02:50,000 --> 00:02:56,000
We've also got Patreon, as you all know, shout out to our Patreons, we've got a new one, his name is Sluge Mcnoodle.

21
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:00,000
Thank you very much Sluge Mcnoodle for your support.

22
00:03:00,000 --> 00:03:02,000
Happy to have you to the family.

23
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:17,000
Sluge has joined Jose, Lena, Andy, Alan, Ed, Luke, Mike, Matteo, Matthias, Luca, Anthony, Michael, David, Kyle and you are all legends. We love you all.

24
00:03:17,000 --> 00:03:27,000
Yes, one day hopefully the list will be long enough whereby the intro segment needs 5 minutes by itself just to shout everyone out because we won't stop doing that.

25
00:03:27,000 --> 00:03:43,000
Yeah, which reminds me, we have opened up a shop on Patreon, the link is in our bio and we are actually selling our posters, we're selling posters basically on the art that we use on the covers of the episodes.

26
00:03:43,000 --> 00:03:50,000
I draw those up and we're selling them as digital art so you can basically download them and print them.

27
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,000
And fun fact, for our Patreons they're all free.

28
00:03:52,000 --> 00:03:53,000
Exactly.

29
00:03:53,000 --> 00:03:54,000
We have access to all of them.

30
00:03:54,000 --> 00:03:56,000
That's the latest money for us.

31
00:03:56,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Just 3 raw each, I believe it's the minimum price I put them up for and the Patreon subscription is 3.99 a month.

32
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:07,000
So you can technically subscribe for a month, download them all and unsubscribe.

33
00:04:07,000 --> 00:04:09,000
That's a bit of a loophole over there.

34
00:04:09,000 --> 00:04:11,000
Help yourselves guys.

35
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:12,000
No problem, no problem.

36
00:04:12,000 --> 00:04:18,000
There were the Champions League, Europa League and Conference League draws.

37
00:04:18,000 --> 00:04:26,000
Not looking so good for a certain Italian teams, I think particularly in the Champions League, couple tough draws.

38
00:04:26,000 --> 00:04:37,000
So firstly Fiorentina just to get the Conference League out of the way, Fiorentina are through to the round of 16, they're not taking part in the round of 32 because they topped their group.

39
00:04:37,000 --> 00:04:44,000
So no need to cover anything over there. For the Champions League it is Inter-facing Atlético.

40
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:49,000
It's Lazio facing Bayern and Napoli facing Barcelona.

41
00:04:49,000 --> 00:04:55,000
Very cool and interesting stylistic battles, particularly the Inter versus Atlético.

42
00:04:55,000 --> 00:05:03,000
An offensive interside taking on a very pragmatic Atlético who are a really tough team to break down with Diego Simeone's system.

43
00:05:03,000 --> 00:05:13,000
You've got Lazio Bayern, I don't think Lazio have got much of a chance over there considering Bayern's form, what Harry Kane's been doing there.

44
00:05:13,000 --> 00:05:21,000
And Napoli-Barsa, I mean, maybe if this were Napoli last season it would be more interesting because I would say it's free-flowing football all around.

45
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:25,000
But I think Barça have got a bit of an advantage over there this year.

46
00:05:25,000 --> 00:05:33,000
Harry Kane's on 20 goals and 5 assists so far this season and he's going to be playing G-Law and Patrick very soon.

47
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:36,000
The Champions League will see how many can put Paesum over there.

48
00:05:36,000 --> 00:05:42,000
But I like the fact that Lazio are playing as the underdogs and I will definitely help them because they do have a few fighters in that team.

49
00:05:42,000 --> 00:05:49,000
And you never know man, sorry on a European night you can't cook and the Champions League absolutely anything can happen.

50
00:05:49,000 --> 00:05:55,000
So of course, terrible matchup for Lazio, they would have been hoping for quite literally anyone else.

51
00:05:55,000 --> 00:05:57,000
We'll see how they do over there.

52
00:05:57,000 --> 00:06:02,000
Also Napoli and Barcelona and nice touch with the Maradona back story of course.

53
00:06:02,000 --> 00:06:03,000
Yeah, of course.

54
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:10,000
When it comes to the Europa League, Atalanta have automatically gone through the round of 16 as they topped their group.

55
00:06:10,000 --> 00:06:16,000
Roma are taking on Feyenoord which are not an easy side, not at all.

56
00:06:16,000 --> 00:06:20,000
And Milan are taking on Reigns who are also not an easy draw.

57
00:06:20,000 --> 00:06:24,000
But I do think that both Italian teams in these scenarios are favorites.

58
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:36,000
However, when it comes to the Europa League, I'm always so wary of these teams because it's not every day that you face high quality teams that deem themselves underdogs coming into the European stage.

59
00:06:36,000 --> 00:06:39,000
And how important this European stage is to them.

60
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:45,000
Absolutely and you look at Reigns for example or Reign as some people would prefer for them to be called.

61
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:49,000
In France they're having a bit of a dreadful season.

62
00:06:49,000 --> 00:06:52,000
They're not doing very well at all domestically.

63
00:06:52,000 --> 00:06:59,000
In fact in 16 games they've conceded 21 and only scored 20 and I'm not quite sure where they sit.

64
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,000
I don't have that prepared.

65
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:07,000
But in the Europa League group they did finish second just one point behind Villarreal with four wins and two losses.

66
00:07:07,000 --> 00:07:14,000
So they do have a bit of firepower about them and they are definitely motivated to do well in Europe.

67
00:07:14,000 --> 00:07:24,000
When it comes to Feyenoord we know of course that they're a factory of talent and right now they've got a striker called Santiago Jimenez who's doing very well.

68
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,000
He's on 18 goals and we know a few of their players of course particularly.

69
00:07:29,000 --> 00:07:32,000
No one ever mind Teot with the other guys.

70
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:33,000
You remember Teot?

71
00:07:33,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Yes I remember that.

72
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:36,000
Teot was playing with Reines.

73
00:07:36,000 --> 00:07:38,000
He was with Balonia.

74
00:07:38,000 --> 00:07:41,000
Imagine him on this Balonia team by the way bro.

75
00:07:41,000 --> 00:07:43,000
I really liked Arthur with Teot.

76
00:07:43,000 --> 00:07:45,000
Oh my god you remember we used to call him Theete.

77
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:46,000
Theete?

78
00:07:46,000 --> 00:07:48,000
Oh Theete.

79
00:07:48,000 --> 00:07:51,000
It's going to be super interesting.

80
00:07:51,000 --> 00:07:56,000
We need to see what we're going to do because of recording bro because I would like to watch these games of course.

81
00:07:56,000 --> 00:08:02,000
So we need to get recording out of the way as early as possible so we can sit down nine o'clock in front of the TV watching Napoli Barcelona.

82
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:05,000
Definitely man maybe we'll use some hours of leave here and there.

83
00:08:05,000 --> 00:08:07,000
I have a good idea.

84
00:08:07,000 --> 00:08:13,000
It's important to note that when it comes to the Europa League like I said Atalanta automatically went through.

85
00:08:13,000 --> 00:08:19,000
It was literally every single British team involved in the Europa League also went through the round of 16.

86
00:08:19,000 --> 00:08:23,000
So there's Rangers who topped their group as well.

87
00:08:23,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Brighton, West Ham and Liverpool and also Villarreal and Atalanta that go through to the next round.

88
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:34,000
But we're not here to fucking talk about European football.

89
00:08:34,000 --> 00:08:44,000
Even though it's very important this year because there's going to be a fifth Champions League spot added and it's between Italy and Germany.

90
00:08:44,000 --> 00:08:56,000
Between Serie A and the Bundesliga and depending on which team does better in Europe the coefficient will essentially dictate who gets that fifth spot right now.

91
00:08:56,000 --> 00:09:04,000
And because of last season's European run for Italian teams you have three Italian teams reaching a final.

92
00:09:04,000 --> 00:09:09,000
They're actually ahead of the Premier League for example and it's not looking good for them because United actually crashed out.

93
00:09:09,000 --> 00:09:11,000
Yeah they came fourth.

94
00:09:11,000 --> 00:09:15,000
And they're not doing particularly well in Europe in general.

95
00:09:15,000 --> 00:09:20,000
So yeah we'll see it's very important for Italian teams to do well in Europe this season.

96
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:24,000
But we're not here as you mentioned to talk about that bro we're here to talk about our favorite league.

97
00:09:24,000 --> 00:09:27,000
You killed my juicy segue into the run down.

98
00:09:27,000 --> 00:09:30,000
This is what we're here to discuss.

99
00:09:30,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Guys, first game we're going to be covering is Lazio Nyl Inter 2.

100
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:39,000
A tough match for Inter in recent history where they lost the last two of these encounters.

101
00:09:39,000 --> 00:09:41,000
Three goes to one.

102
00:09:41,000 --> 00:09:48,000
But now Inter basically they have creamed absolutely everyone within that top seven including Fiora and Tina.

103
00:09:48,000 --> 00:09:52,000
They've only drawn one out of those matches which was against Juventus.

104
00:09:52,000 --> 00:10:02,000
Genoa 1, Juve 1, Juve have now fallen four points behind Inter after a disappointing result where Akieza Penley was cancelled out by the great Albert Gudmetsen.

105
00:10:02,000 --> 00:10:14,000
Milan 3, Montzao, Nyl and New Look Milan with a 3 at the back formation and a debut goal for 18 year old centre back Simic who came on to replace the injured Boberga who started this game as a centre back.

106
00:10:14,000 --> 00:10:19,000
Bologna 2, Roma, Nyl, Bologna in the top four and very very well deserved.

107
00:10:19,000 --> 00:10:23,000
What a team. Froyler and Zergze to top performers in this match.

108
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:27,000
Napoli 2, Kalyari 1, a tough game for Napoli.

109
00:10:27,000 --> 00:10:33,000
You'll see when we get down to the run down there were a lot of shifts in tactics in this game.

110
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:37,000
But at the end of the day the difference maker was Victor Ossiman.

111
00:10:37,000 --> 00:10:43,000
Fiora and Tina 1, Helas Verona, Nyl it was a late goal for Beltran to give Fiora and Tina W his first goal.

112
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,000
They have an open play in Serie A and it did take a massive deflection.

113
00:10:47,000 --> 00:10:56,000
Atalanta 4, Salernitana 1, this happened just last night. Salernitana took an early lead through a Pirola header but the second half was fucking all.

114
00:10:56,000 --> 00:11:04,000
Atalanta, Lecce 2, Frozzinone 1, Lecce have ended their streak of four draws to get a well deserved victory against Frozzinone.

115
00:11:04,000 --> 00:11:14,000
Odinesa 2, Saswolo 2, the self-destruct button was pressed but this time by Odinesa who blew a tunnel lead after a Pagiero on goal

116
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:20,000
and Torino 1 and Polinil Torino edge pass their opponents despite a disallowed Sanabria screamer

117
00:11:20,000 --> 00:11:26,000
which goes to show just how they are the missionary sex position in this league.

118
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:30,000
And those of you who listen to our question episode will get that reference.

119
00:11:30,000 --> 00:11:36,000
Exactly, if you don't you know, we'll stick around anyway because we'll have another one and you can ask us questions.

120
00:11:36,000 --> 00:11:39,000
Shall we start off with Lazio Inter?

121
00:11:39,000 --> 00:11:42,000
I guess that was the biggest game of this weekend.

122
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:49,000
As we know Inter have struggled in the Olympic Games against Lazio, they hadn't won there since 2018 in Syria.

123
00:11:49,000 --> 00:11:51,000
Yeah, but they have a bogey team for that right?

124
00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:55,000
These last two encounters resulted in back-to-back 3-1 home wins for Lazio.

125
00:11:55,000 --> 00:12:06,000
There was that infamous Luis Felipe, fucking Luis, man, classic Luis, when he mounted Correa in celebration in Correa's first game for Inter against Lazio.

126
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:14,000
And Correa got really mad, Luis Felipe started crying so hard that he ended up representing Al Itihad in Saudi Arabia.

127
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:16,000
Bro cried his way to you.

128
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:18,000
I felt bad for him, I felt bad for him.

129
00:12:18,000 --> 00:12:25,000
It was sad to be honest because it always sucks when you think someone's going to react a certain way and think you have a certain relationship with someone.

130
00:12:25,000 --> 00:12:27,000
And you're a homie, man.

131
00:12:27,000 --> 00:12:29,000
Yeah, they were good friends.

132
00:12:29,000 --> 00:12:31,000
If you haven't seen that clip, do write it down.

133
00:12:31,000 --> 00:12:33,000
Write down Correa, Luis Felipe cry.

134
00:12:33,000 --> 00:12:36,000
You will find it on Google.

135
00:12:36,000 --> 00:12:38,000
I wonder how you know that.

136
00:12:38,000 --> 00:12:42,000
Inter drew nil nil at home to Sociedad mid-week.

137
00:12:42,000 --> 00:12:44,000
They did feel some changes over there.

138
00:12:44,000 --> 00:12:51,000
They finished second in their group, while Lazio lost 2 nil away from home against Atletico, also finishing second in their group.

139
00:12:51,000 --> 00:13:02,000
As we all know, Inter, with a decimated squad at the moment, they had Alexis Sanchez out, Denzel Dampfri, Benjamin Pavard, Juan Cuadrado and Stefan Davrai out injured.

140
00:13:02,000 --> 00:13:08,000
So their back three once again consisted of Bisseck, Acerbi and Bastoni with Darmian as the right wingback as well.

141
00:13:08,000 --> 00:13:15,000
To be fair, not too decimated, it is some fringe players, but some starters as well that are out injured.

142
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:20,000
The biggest shock in Lazio starting 11 was the fact that Luis Alberto started the game on the bench.

143
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Pardon me, after a sorry confirm, the Spaniard wasn't at 100% fitness and would be more effective of the bench in the second half when the game will be less intense.

144
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:36,000
Why is the second half less intense?

145
00:13:36,000 --> 00:13:41,000
He means when everyone is a bit more leggy, when everyone is more tired.

146
00:13:41,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Look, Caliari's best player is Zito Lovumbo.

147
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,000
He never gives him more than 30 minutes.

148
00:13:52,000 --> 00:13:58,000
He always brings him on for 30 minutes, he's lost 30 minutes of the game and he drives everyone insane running.

149
00:13:58,000 --> 00:14:04,000
Everyone is tired from a whole game of running up and down and focusing on Zito comes on, this causes confusion.

150
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:07,000
Sometimes these impact subs are necessary.

151
00:14:07,000 --> 00:14:14,000
That's true, he is also like miles ahead, he is Lazio's best player by a little bit.

152
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:22,000
They also had Kamada, Rovell and Gwenduzi forming their midfield three instead of Luis Alberto.

153
00:14:22,000 --> 00:14:33,000
Now Lazio started the game strongly, they brought intensity to the game and they even forced Summer into a couple of good saves, particularly on Kamada and Gwenduzi in the opening moments of the match.

154
00:14:33,000 --> 00:14:42,000
However Inter broke the deadlock in the 40th minute when Lautaro Martinez seized an awful back pass by Lazio's Adam Marusic.

155
00:14:42,000 --> 00:14:49,000
The weak back pass was intercepted by Martinez who dribbled around Ivan Providell and slotted the ball into the net from a tight angle.

156
00:14:49,000 --> 00:14:55,000
Martinez dedicated this goal to Bahia Blanca, a town in Argentina affected by a recent tragedy.

157
00:14:55,000 --> 00:14:57,000
I do believe that that is where he is from.

158
00:14:57,000 --> 00:15:01,000
But yeah, a nice touch, class act.

159
00:15:01,000 --> 00:15:06,000
Yeah, absolutely. I must say that Adam Marusic is an idiot.

160
00:15:06,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Not even. These games are all about details.

161
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:23,000
And for Lazio, we've seen it all season, when they want to switch play they often go back to their keeper, pass back and the goalkeeper will play it to the other fullback.

162
00:15:23,000 --> 00:15:30,000
Lautaro was in an offside position in no man's land between the defense and the goalkeeper, just waiting, lurking.

163
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:32,000
That was all pre-planned.

164
00:15:32,000 --> 00:15:44,000
And the other players, if you look at the right hand side, they were putting pressure on Marusic, pressing super high up the field to the point where Marusic has nowhere else to go and Lautaro is in position waiting for that man.

165
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,000
Absolutely man. And he literally forced that mistake and he did so well with it.

166
00:15:48,000 --> 00:15:53,000
When he rounded the goalkeeper, I thought he held onto it for a bit too long.

167
00:15:53,000 --> 00:15:57,000
I was like, oh they're going to block it, they're going to take it off him. But take it off him, my ass dude, he just pinked it in.

168
00:15:57,000 --> 00:16:05,000
Nah, if it were two seasons ago and sometimes we know Streeki, he could have been, but not this season man, not this season, he can't put up with it wrong.

169
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:11,000
And even if you look at his heat map, thank you so for score, he's so involved in the midfield.

170
00:16:11,000 --> 00:16:19,000
You look at Turam, he's the guy up top because obviously you could give him those long balls, Lautaro is doing so much dirty work bro, so much dirty work.

171
00:16:19,000 --> 00:16:25,000
And then he's still there in the final third, often running in late, getting in at the back post, stuff like that.

172
00:16:25,000 --> 00:16:27,000
Is Mr. Inter at the moment man?

173
00:16:27,000 --> 00:16:29,000
Absolutely, Captain Fantastic.

174
00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Lautaro entered the second half eager to equalize, Rovella had, well he did exceptionally well to dispossess Cialanooglu and Giubala Cerebi and Bastoni, he did so well in the scenario Rovella.

175
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:45,000
But once cleaned through on goal, the Italian was denied by Jan Sommer.

176
00:16:45,000 --> 00:17:00,000
It's always like the case when, let's call them inexperienced players or young players, they do well and then they get cleaned through on goal and they're either off balance or they're tired or they lack technique in the final third, like Rovella's not a goal scorer.

177
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:02,000
Or they doubt themselves.

178
00:17:02,000 --> 00:17:14,000
Exactly, but he did, Lautaro were doing a good job pressing the source which is Cialanooglu and this was case in point exactly what they did well in this game because Lautaro, they weren't bad in this game.

179
00:17:14,000 --> 00:17:27,000
And that was just to showcase how they were stopping Inter for, let's say, a fair share of the game, but then obviously that final product isn't there for them.

180
00:17:27,000 --> 00:17:43,000
And then in fact Inter doubled their lead in the 58 minute, although Marius Ciccio intercepted a Barrella initial through ball for Martina as the ball came back to Barrella who redirected it to Marius Turan and the French forward finished with a precise left footed shot with Gila scrambling on the goal line.

181
00:17:43,000 --> 00:17:58,000
Lazio got his stuff, frustration boiled over when Manuel Lazaro received the straight red card for insulting the referee, further complicating their chances and then Miketarian had two opportunities to make it three but they were both denied by great stops by Ivan Profidel.

182
00:17:58,000 --> 00:18:09,000
He still drives so well Miketarian, he's like a young man charging forward, his burst of, his change in pace and his ability to unlock that extra gear always catches me off guard.

183
00:18:09,000 --> 00:18:32,000
Aha, he's silky smooth in that midfield, he is the right player for that role I feel, he's very very refined, I don't think like Bros brought in Frattese, now I know Frattese is more of a direct let's say Barrella replacement more than anything, but he could do either,

184
00:18:32,000 --> 00:18:45,000
especially with, he can score goals for Frattese, we've seen that for Italy as well, but Miketarian is the right guy for that role, his technique in this team in the middle of the park is very very important.

185
00:18:45,000 --> 00:18:56,000
Absolutely man, another player I was very impressed by, and this was really one of the first tests for him, Jan Bisseckman.

186
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Yes, absolutely. Jan Bisseck, 23 years old, German international, 194 cm tall, centre-back right footed, he's the number 31 for those of you who remember the numbers and not the names.

187
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:20,000
He can play football man, he's very technically gifted, like he was out wide on the wing towards the end of the game when they were trying to just kill the game, and he's a retention machine essentially.

188
00:19:20,000 --> 00:19:37,000
This is only his second start of the season, he had the third most touches for Inter, and a 93% pass accuracy as well, he had six duels, one, three clearances, and like you said he was getting wide, very very effectively, it's like he knows the system already.

189
00:19:37,000 --> 00:19:52,000
And they were pressing him to oblivion almost like forcing, it's like he was identified as a weak point, they were pressing him and he's so press resistant, man just passing his way out casually or like pulling the ball back and just passing back calmly, you know, very very talented player over there, I was impressed.

190
00:19:52,000 --> 00:19:54,000
Absolutely man, absolutely.

191
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:07,000
And speaking of press resistant, by the way another point I wanted to make was on Ciala Noglu, so when we talk about the top three registers in the league, we talk about Stanislav Lobotka, we talk about Ismail Benasser and Chaka on Ciala Noglu, right?

192
00:20:07,000 --> 00:20:08,000
Yes.

193
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:18,000
Ciala Noglu is different to those two, Ciala Noglu isn't as press resistant, Ciala Noglu can be dispossessed and he can be forced to play a wayward pass.

194
00:20:18,000 --> 00:20:28,000
What he does though, however, is make up for it in his defensive contribution, so Ciala Noglu then likes to get down and dirty when it comes to accounting.

195
00:20:28,000 --> 00:20:32,000
Yeah, he even, he can tackle like a defender.

196
00:20:32,000 --> 00:20:46,000
Yeah, he even had that for Milan when he used to play as an attacking midfielder and even as a left winger and there got two, so a lot of people used to for some reason complain about his lack of industry, but he was always so hard working, which is one thing I actually liked about the guy.

197
00:20:46,000 --> 00:20:57,000
Inter now have 11 clean sheets in 16 matches, despite significant injury struggles in their defensive region, 11 clean sheets in 16 matches, man.

198
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:07,000
11 clean sheets in 16 matches, man. That's honestly crazy to be honest. I don't know, man. When I saw this game, there was another win for them, you know?

199
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:10,000
Like, what's it gonna take for these guys to drop points?

200
00:21:10,000 --> 00:21:24,000
They're essentially mirroring Lazio's start to the season. So like I said earlier, they've played all the top seven teams. I say all the top seven teams, they are part of the top seven teams, but they also played Fiorentina, right?

201
00:21:24,000 --> 00:21:27,000
So they played the other top seven, the top seven excluding Inter.

202
00:21:27,000 --> 00:21:34,000
Brother, they beat all of them, except for Juve, who they drew to. They beat all of them.

203
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,000
Now, four in the league against Fiorentina, five one against Milan. They killed Napoli three in the league.

204
00:21:40,000 --> 00:21:54,000
Bro, they're probably gonna reach 50 points by the 6th of January, I believe, which is the same points Napoli had last year. So we're talking about dominance.

205
00:21:54,000 --> 00:21:56,000
Inter are on course.

206
00:21:56,000 --> 00:22:08,000
So, so yes, yes, totally agreed. However, however, it very much depends on what they're going to do in January, because it is clear that Inter have been prioritizing the league.

207
00:22:08,000 --> 00:22:21,000
Totally like they've totally prioritized the league, resting players in the Champions League, like, like fielding, Sanchez are an out of which frattese, you know, all the guys who've barely been playing as slan, you're just throwing them in in the Champions League games.

208
00:22:21,000 --> 00:22:30,000
And because of that, they actually didn't thub their group when they probably should have and they finished second. And now they're stuck with this terrible draw, right?

209
00:22:30,000 --> 00:22:44,000
Not totally terrible, but they have Atleti Comedget, who they do not afford to rest players against. So they need reinforcements in January, or now we can start to see perhaps a slight dip in their league form.

210
00:22:44,000 --> 00:22:57,000
Because they need to play the lower tier sides. And as we know, the lower tier sides in Syria can be very frustrating, you know, the likes of Frostinon, Alekte, Genoa, Saswolo are the only team in 15th place.

211
00:22:57,000 --> 00:23:04,000
Lowly Saswolo are the only team who have beaten Inter so far this season. Kalyari, exactly, you never know, like it's a 19th minute, what's going to happen.

212
00:23:04,000 --> 00:23:17,000
So Inter can still obviously lose points. However, they have Maratha as their sporting director, and the January transfer market is approaching. And I totally see them bringing in a striker and a defender.

213
00:23:17,000 --> 00:23:28,000
Remember the question segment, by the way, we discussed Inter potentially, like we recommended Boulayedia and Ngong. Apparently they've been linked to Boulayedia for a January move.

214
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:42,000
Oh, wow, okay. I wonder what Boulayedia is thinking about, that he is out, like he's out of that Salernita and Atim. Apparently, Luzari has been linked with a move to Inter.

215
00:23:42,000 --> 00:23:55,000
Luzari has been fantastic this season. He has been, obviously, buying the shred card. I mean, apparently he told, the commentator said that Luzari told the referee where to go.

216
00:23:55,000 --> 00:24:04,000
So I was sure he told them to go and fuck himself. I didn't go fuck himself or to fuck off or go do something.

217
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:12,000
Let's leave it up to the imagination. Of course, the Italian language is a lot more colorful than the English language when it comes to cooking up insults.

218
00:24:12,000 --> 00:24:19,000
I just have a few more points I want to make because Inter, very good, is getting exhausting as a conversation point.

219
00:24:19,000 --> 00:24:30,000
Inter have a new deadly duo up front, right? Lautaro is on 15 goals and 16 matches.

220
00:24:30,000 --> 00:24:40,000
Turam, 7 goals and 6 assists in his debut season. Now, do you know when Turam has scored? He scored against Fiorentina.

221
00:24:40,000 --> 00:24:47,000
He scored against Milan. He scored against Roma. He scored against Napoli and he scored against Lazio.

222
00:24:47,000 --> 00:24:58,000
Let me repeat that. Fiorentina, Milan, Roma, Napoli, Lazio. Those are 5 of the teams he scored against. He has 7 goals and 6 assists.

223
00:24:58,000 --> 00:24:59,000
That's crazy.

224
00:24:59,000 --> 00:25:00,000
Debut season in this area.

225
00:25:00,000 --> 00:25:04,000
Probably the signing of the season. Definitely the signing of the season.

226
00:25:04,000 --> 00:25:05,000
Definitely.

227
00:25:05,000 --> 00:25:06,000
In Italy, at least.

228
00:25:06,000 --> 00:25:07,000
Yeah.

229
00:25:07,000 --> 00:25:10,000
Again, you don't do that near first season.

230
00:25:10,000 --> 00:25:11,000
No.

231
00:25:11,000 --> 00:25:19,000
You don't show up on those stages and just knock them in like that. Like you've been playing there for so long.

232
00:25:19,000 --> 00:25:25,000
Honestly, I don't even know what to think about this guy. He just came and he's so inspired.

233
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:34,000
I mean, partnering up with Lautaro, Martina's up front and totally working and adapting to the system and being so open to it has helped him thrive completely.

234
00:25:34,000 --> 00:25:39,000
He's playing selflessly as well. He's willing to pass. He seems to have no ego on him.

235
00:25:39,000 --> 00:25:40,000
He doesn't mind.

236
00:25:40,000 --> 00:25:41,000
He's smiling.

237
00:25:41,000 --> 00:25:44,000
He's always smiling. If he scores, if he assists, he doesn't mind.

238
00:25:44,000 --> 00:25:47,000
He must be an actual gem and a joy to play with, honestly.

239
00:25:47,000 --> 00:25:49,000
So close. He was so close.

240
00:25:49,000 --> 00:25:50,000
So close to driving Milan.

241
00:25:50,000 --> 00:25:51,000
So close.

242
00:25:51,000 --> 00:25:52,000
And remember what you said if you would join?

243
00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:01,000
I said I'd cancel the podcast. Not only have I not cancelled the podcast, now he scored 7 goals including in a 5-1 thrashing, counting.

244
00:26:01,000 --> 00:26:04,000
There I even say of Milan and I still haven't quit the podcast.

245
00:26:04,000 --> 00:26:05,000
So that shows.

246
00:26:05,000 --> 00:26:06,000
And here you are praising.

247
00:26:06,000 --> 00:26:07,000
My industry.

248
00:26:07,000 --> 00:26:08,000
That's horrible.

249
00:26:08,000 --> 00:26:11,000
Just a quick note about Lazio.

250
00:26:11,000 --> 00:26:16,000
Yes, they have struggled significantly in the attacking region and the defensive region.

251
00:26:16,000 --> 00:26:18,000
So they've pretty much struggled everywhere.

252
00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:23,000
They've only scored 16 goals this season in 16 matches and have conceded 18.

253
00:26:23,000 --> 00:26:28,000
They're struggling. They're down in 11th fucking place now.

254
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:31,000
I don't think they had a bad performance in this game.

255
00:26:31,000 --> 00:26:32,000
Straight up.

256
00:26:32,000 --> 00:26:33,000
I really don't think they were bad.

257
00:26:33,000 --> 00:26:35,000
I think they brought it to winter.

258
00:26:35,000 --> 00:26:37,000
I think they were courageous.

259
00:26:37,000 --> 00:26:39,000
I think they were organized.

260
00:26:39,000 --> 00:26:43,000
Would I go so far as to say they'll leave the stadium with their head held high,

261
00:26:43,000 --> 00:26:49,000
considering their recent successful history in the stadium against Inter at say no.

262
00:26:49,000 --> 00:26:51,000
But they put on a good performance.

263
00:26:51,000 --> 00:26:53,000
They weren't bad.

264
00:26:53,000 --> 00:26:54,000
They were alright.

265
00:26:54,000 --> 00:26:56,000
But they never really...

266
00:26:56,000 --> 00:26:57,000
I mean they had a good start.

267
00:26:57,000 --> 00:27:03,000
But once Inter scored that goal, it seemed pretty much over for them in my opinion.

268
00:27:03,000 --> 00:27:08,000
Granted, okay, there was that the ravella chance. It's true.

269
00:27:08,000 --> 00:27:11,000
But I just feel like they lack a bit of bite, man.

270
00:27:11,000 --> 00:27:17,000
And I don't know if it's because maybe starting with Immobler, maybe he's a little bit...

271
00:27:17,000 --> 00:27:20,000
This is Italy's Immobler.

272
00:27:20,000 --> 00:27:21,000
Yes, yes, I know.

273
00:27:21,000 --> 00:27:22,000
I know, I know.

274
00:27:22,000 --> 00:27:23,000
Not Lazio's Immobler.

275
00:27:23,000 --> 00:27:24,000
Yes, exactly.

276
00:27:24,000 --> 00:27:25,000
That's the best way to put it.

277
00:27:25,000 --> 00:27:27,000
Yes, yes. I thought you meant domestically.

278
00:27:27,000 --> 00:27:28,000
Yes, yes, totally, bro.

279
00:27:28,000 --> 00:27:32,000
This was Italy's Immobler and this season it has been Italy's Immobler.

280
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:34,000
The soft and invisible.

281
00:27:34,000 --> 00:27:38,000
By that game in the Champions League where he came on and totally changed things.

282
00:27:38,000 --> 00:27:40,000
Round scoring, two goals.

283
00:27:40,000 --> 00:27:43,000
I think at this point in his career, Ciro Mopla is better coming off the bench.

284
00:27:43,000 --> 00:27:44,000
I think so.

285
00:27:44,000 --> 00:27:46,000
And he's so inspired coming off the bench.

286
00:27:46,000 --> 00:27:50,000
You have the whole stadium honoring their top scorer, Ciro.

287
00:27:50,000 --> 00:27:51,000
Ciro.

288
00:27:51,000 --> 00:27:53,000
You know, it comes on.

289
00:27:53,000 --> 00:27:56,000
You know, start Castellanos, you can do a lot more running, who's a lot more hungry.

290
00:27:56,000 --> 00:27:57,000
Yeah.

291
00:27:57,000 --> 00:27:59,000
And then bring on Ciro if you need that experience.

292
00:27:59,000 --> 00:28:04,000
And when everyone's kind of tired and where he can play at the same level as his opponent.

293
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:06,000
Starting from the get-go, I don't know.

294
00:28:06,000 --> 00:28:07,000
It seems one step behind constantly.

295
00:28:07,000 --> 00:28:08,000
Yeah, that's true. It's very true.

296
00:28:08,000 --> 00:28:11,000
And with all due respect, because he's an absolute legend for Lazio, of course.

297
00:28:11,000 --> 00:28:15,000
Obviously, I mean, but we're here to discuss what's going on right now, no?

298
00:28:15,000 --> 00:28:19,000
I think Lazio's strong point, dare I say, I think their midfield had a good game.

299
00:28:19,000 --> 00:28:21,000
I think Ravela was good.

300
00:28:21,000 --> 00:28:23,000
I think Guendouzi did a lot of work.

301
00:28:23,000 --> 00:28:27,000
I think Guendouzi is very, very important when it comes to getting down and dirty

302
00:28:27,000 --> 00:28:30,000
and getting your hands all over these motherfuckers.

303
00:28:30,000 --> 00:28:32,000
I think that's where he's good.

304
00:28:32,000 --> 00:28:36,000
Kamada had a better performance than usual, but I don't want to praise him too much

305
00:28:36,000 --> 00:28:39,000
because he still has a lot to prove in that sense.

306
00:28:39,000 --> 00:28:41,000
One of the things I enjoyed the most about this,

307
00:28:41,000 --> 00:28:44,000
Zakanie looked like he took a knock right when he was coming off.

308
00:28:44,000 --> 00:28:51,000
Because he being sorry switched to a 4-4-2 after taking out Zakanie and played Guendouzi out wide.

309
00:28:51,000 --> 00:28:54,000
So like, I was a bit confused by it.

310
00:28:54,000 --> 00:28:57,000
You know, Zakanie, you take him out and then you put Guendouzi out wide,

311
00:28:57,000 --> 00:29:00,000
but yes, I assume he had taken a knock.

312
00:29:00,000 --> 00:29:05,000
Inter, as you all know, first place, 4 points ahead of Juve.

313
00:29:05,000 --> 00:29:08,000
And is that 9 points ahead of Milan?

314
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
Yes, that is 9 points ahead of Milan.

315
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:12,000
Apologies for that.

316
00:29:12,000 --> 00:29:16,000
Lazio in 11th on 21 points tied with Monza.

317
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:21,000
Yeah, so we can probably discuss Gianna Juve now.

318
00:29:21,000 --> 00:29:25,000
Gianna Juve actually held Juve at home.

319
00:29:25,000 --> 00:29:29,000
Juve took the lead with a penalty converted by Chiesa on the first half.

320
00:29:29,000 --> 00:29:32,000
However, in the second half they brought on Ecuban.

321
00:29:32,000 --> 00:29:35,000
Gianna Juve brought on Ecuban and he immediately had an impact,

322
00:29:35,000 --> 00:29:37,000
scoring the equaliser earlier on the second half.

323
00:29:37,000 --> 00:29:40,000
While they were just knocking the ball around, juggling the ball past the event,

324
00:29:40,000 --> 00:29:43,000
his defenders eventually slotted in home.

325
00:29:43,000 --> 00:29:45,000
Did you say Ecuban scored?

326
00:29:45,000 --> 00:29:47,000
No, Goodman's scored.

327
00:29:47,000 --> 00:29:52,000
Ecuban was brought on and forced the goal for Gianna Juve.

328
00:29:52,000 --> 00:29:57,000
The game seemed initially in Juve's control.

329
00:29:57,000 --> 00:30:00,000
Juve, of course, were missing Rabio.

330
00:30:00,000 --> 00:30:02,000
And that's a massive miss for them.

331
00:30:02,000 --> 00:30:07,000
Apart from obviously Pogba and Fajole who have vanished into the net.

332
00:30:07,000 --> 00:30:10,000
While Gianna on the other hand were missing Gritegui

333
00:30:10,000 --> 00:30:13,000
who can't catch a break this season with his injuries and Strittman.

334
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:16,000
They missed Strittman's experience because he's a very useful player.

335
00:30:16,000 --> 00:30:20,000
Of course, for them, he has a lot of serious experience.

336
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,000
But yeah, it started off with Juventus being in control.

337
00:30:25,000 --> 00:30:28,000
They had their typical defensive approach and opportunistic attacks.

338
00:30:28,000 --> 00:30:32,000
Gianna Juve showed a lot of courage and resilience,

339
00:30:32,000 --> 00:30:36,000
forcing the equaliser and even playing on the front foot after that.

340
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:41,000
Both teams lined up in a 3-5-2 with Juve controlling the tempo.

341
00:30:41,000 --> 00:30:46,000
Genoa focused on utilizing their flanks and maintaining a high tempo

342
00:30:46,000 --> 00:30:49,000
with a forward partnership of Goodminton and Messias.

343
00:30:49,000 --> 00:30:51,000
Of course, trying to press them.

344
00:30:51,000 --> 00:30:55,000
There's two mobile forwards trying to press, trying to create something.

345
00:30:55,000 --> 00:31:01,000
And that substitution in the second half was actually genius by Gelerdino in my opinion.

346
00:31:01,000 --> 00:31:04,000
The problem for Juve is that they couldn't react man.

347
00:31:04,000 --> 00:31:07,000
In the second half they had the next DG of 0.44.

348
00:31:07,000 --> 00:31:12,000
0.44 with Bremmer's chance at the end of the game, nearly scoring a goal

349
00:31:12,000 --> 00:31:15,000
with his groin right before stoppage time.

350
00:31:15,000 --> 00:31:20,000
And like, I don't know man, I look at Juve and I see so many misplaced passes,

351
00:31:20,000 --> 00:31:24,000
so many bad touches and there I say, there I say bro,

352
00:31:24,000 --> 00:31:28,000
that Juve are a Robbio dependent this season.

353
00:31:28,000 --> 00:31:29,000
Oh, you think so?

354
00:31:29,000 --> 00:31:34,000
Man, honestly, I couldn't see any bite, any muscle in that midfield.

355
00:31:34,000 --> 00:31:38,000
Meretti came into replacement, Meretti, Lokatelli and Mckeni,

356
00:31:38,000 --> 00:31:42,000
and they got absolutely outdone by Malinovsky, Badiell and Frendrup.

357
00:31:42,000 --> 00:31:48,000
I mean, I'm not gonna be that guy to say that they're dependent on one player

358
00:31:48,000 --> 00:31:52,000
because they drew a game after they were on the streak that they were on,

359
00:31:52,000 --> 00:31:55,000
which they're still on, that like undefeated drown.

360
00:31:55,000 --> 00:32:00,000
So I'm hesitant to say that that was the only reason.

361
00:32:00,000 --> 00:32:06,000
I think that the way Genoa were set up and the way that they were pressing Juve

362
00:32:06,000 --> 00:32:11,000
and how organized they were, I think credit to them.

363
00:32:11,000 --> 00:32:14,000
I think Juve, it's more of a question.

364
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:17,000
Do you remember last week we were talking about how Juve get their goals

365
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:20,000
and we're comparing them to Inter and we're saying Inter can obviously

366
00:32:20,000 --> 00:32:25,000
like more seamlessly score goals while Juve wait for moments.

367
00:32:25,000 --> 00:32:27,000
Genoa did not give Juve those moments.

368
00:32:27,000 --> 00:32:28,000
Exactly, that's it.

369
00:32:28,000 --> 00:32:30,000
They did not allow them those moments.

370
00:32:30,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Is Rabi or more of a creative that could create more of these?

371
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:37,000
Yes, but with that being said, so is Kiesa.

372
00:32:37,000 --> 00:32:43,000
In fact, he did it in the first half, so is Vlavich, but he's been fucking invisible.

373
00:32:43,000 --> 00:32:46,000
Kambia, so by the way, wow.

374
00:32:46,000 --> 00:32:53,000
But like, I was watching him break into the center of the pitch

375
00:32:53,000 --> 00:32:56,000
with his dribbling and his runs of the ball in this game

376
00:32:56,000 --> 00:33:01,000
and like definitely easily their best wing back.

377
00:33:01,000 --> 00:33:05,000
Yes, and in fact, I highlighted a little bit over here.

378
00:33:05,000 --> 00:33:08,000
You know that he's actually a product of Genoa's youth team.

379
00:33:08,000 --> 00:33:13,000
So this was an X game for him, perhaps explains a little bit of an extra drive

380
00:33:13,000 --> 00:33:15,000
if you had to shove them, you know.

381
00:33:15,000 --> 00:33:19,000
When he was at Genoa, he was actually loaned out season after season after season.

382
00:33:19,000 --> 00:33:22,000
He has 26 appearances for Genoa with one goal.

383
00:33:22,000 --> 00:33:28,000
He was loaned out to Albesola, Savona, Alessandria and even Empoli.

384
00:33:28,000 --> 00:33:31,000
And then eventually he joined Juventus and was loaned out to Bologna.

385
00:33:31,000 --> 00:33:33,000
Now he's at Juventus again.

386
00:33:33,000 --> 00:33:39,000
Yeah, he's 23 years old. He's developing very nicely and he looks to be a good player.

387
00:33:39,000 --> 00:33:43,000
He even got Zambrotta comparisons as you mentioned a few episodes ago.

388
00:33:43,000 --> 00:33:45,000
That's pretty cool.

389
00:33:45,000 --> 00:33:49,000
Yes, bro, a few things that I mentioned about this game.

390
00:33:49,000 --> 00:33:54,000
Goodman's in at one, OK, Goodman's in the fourth, sixth goal of the season.

391
00:33:54,000 --> 00:33:58,000
Fantastic player, breakout player, apparently Romar talks for him.

392
00:33:58,000 --> 00:34:03,000
I think he's got property right now despite the whole controversy going on back in Iceland.

393
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:08,000
I think some teams would be hesitant to actually contact him until that is settled.

394
00:34:08,000 --> 00:34:11,000
But right now he can be a total bargain, man, this player.

395
00:34:11,000 --> 00:34:14,000
This player can be the next big thing. I swear to God.

396
00:34:14,000 --> 00:34:18,000
He's not that young. He's about 26 years old if I'm not mistaken.

397
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:21,000
But he's so talented. He's a one man army.

398
00:34:21,000 --> 00:34:26,000
He's like, honestly, when it comes to attacking midfielders in the league,

399
00:34:26,000 --> 00:34:33,000
that we know that attacking midfielders, that like number 10 role isn't as popular as it used to be.

400
00:34:33,000 --> 00:34:39,000
And you don't really find as many talents in that messy role as you used to see back in the day.

401
00:34:39,000 --> 00:34:43,000
Albert Goodman is one of the best number 10s in the league.

402
00:34:43,000 --> 00:34:51,000
Honestly, because not only is he silky smooth, can dribble past a player, can hit a ball from distance,

403
00:34:51,000 --> 00:34:55,000
he is incredibly technical and incredibly intelligent.

404
00:34:55,000 --> 00:35:00,000
When it comes to him dragging players away with him, making those runs off the ball, creating space for,

405
00:35:00,000 --> 00:35:07,000
especially when he's playing up top alongside Retegui, he really creates space for Retegui to come in from behind.

406
00:35:07,000 --> 00:35:14,000
The way that he can take the ball down and the way that he can control the ball,

407
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:21,000
and how he has that close ball control, to attract players towards him and then unleash the perfect pass

408
00:35:21,000 --> 00:35:26,000
at the right time for his teammates, he's watching him, is a fucking joy.

409
00:35:26,000 --> 00:35:28,000
It's like the ball is glued to his feet.

410
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:32,000
Absolutely man. And he can eliminate players like this.

411
00:35:32,000 --> 00:35:34,000
Yeah, and his fucking finishing as well.

412
00:35:34,000 --> 00:35:37,000
Yeah, super. And he has Albert at the back of his kit, which is wicked.

413
00:35:37,000 --> 00:35:38,000
Yeah, yeah.

414
00:35:38,000 --> 00:35:40,000
Albert at the back of your kit.

415
00:35:40,000 --> 00:35:45,000
The controversy obviously, is a fucking massive factor.

416
00:35:45,000 --> 00:35:49,000
But we'll see what happens with that.

417
00:35:49,000 --> 00:35:54,000
If it's the case, then he might be out for a very, very fucking long time.

418
00:35:54,000 --> 00:35:56,000
If it's the case, he deserves it.

419
00:35:56,000 --> 00:35:57,000
Absolutely.

420
00:35:57,000 --> 00:36:00,000
But yeah, I can't believe this guy was in Serie B last year.

421
00:36:00,000 --> 00:36:01,000
Crazy man.

422
00:36:01,000 --> 00:36:05,000
He almost got a rocket off at the end of the first half, Vazquez squared it to him,

423
00:36:05,000 --> 00:36:09,000
and he flew out of nowhere, and he kicked so hard, and he missed the ball.

424
00:36:09,000 --> 00:36:12,000
I would have torn everything bro doing that.

425
00:36:12,000 --> 00:36:15,000
Everything would have fucked up.

426
00:36:15,000 --> 00:36:18,000
He flew out of nowhere, he kicked, and he missed the ball ever so slightly.

427
00:36:18,000 --> 00:36:20,000
He would have smashed it into the back of the net, I can assure you.

428
00:36:20,000 --> 00:36:21,000
Yeah.

429
00:36:21,000 --> 00:36:24,000
It's interesting to note that Keza is on penalty duty nowadays,

430
00:36:24,000 --> 00:36:26,000
I'm after Vlav, which of course missed a few.

431
00:36:26,000 --> 00:36:29,000
Is he or did he just win it so he took it?

432
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:31,000
I don't know.

433
00:36:31,000 --> 00:36:36,000
I think Vlav has missed quite a few that's safe to assume that Keza took this one for that reason.

434
00:36:36,000 --> 00:36:38,000
Maybe Vlav is low on confidence.

435
00:36:38,000 --> 00:36:46,000
Vlav, at the moment, he's missing chances that he's known for usually executing.

436
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:50,000
That's the thing, his confidence is so shot at the moment.

437
00:36:50,000 --> 00:36:56,000
It's not as simple as saying he's not fitting a legary system, and they don't play to his strengths.

438
00:36:56,000 --> 00:36:58,000
He's getting the chances nowadays.

439
00:36:58,000 --> 00:37:04,000
But it is true, however, that he's often isolated and maybe in a system like Inter paired with,

440
00:37:04,000 --> 00:37:08,000
imagine this guy paired with the top scorer.

441
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:15,000
But like this game, for example, he was taller than the entire Draenua team, except for Dragoosin.

442
00:37:15,000 --> 00:37:19,000
They're both 190 centimeters, yet he failed to dominate and to a certain self.

443
00:37:19,000 --> 00:37:25,000
You have Gatti and Vlav, which are two giants that are bigger than everyone else,

444
00:37:25,000 --> 00:37:28,000
and they're aerial monsters, we know that. Get them the ball.

445
00:37:28,000 --> 00:37:32,000
Use your body, take advantage of your opponents.

446
00:37:32,000 --> 00:37:38,000
Just possess someone in a fucking air, press high up the feet, show us something, get yourself involved.

447
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:41,000
It can't be your invisible every single match that you play.

448
00:37:41,000 --> 00:37:47,000
And by the way, shout out to all the Juva fans who showed us hate on our TikTok snippet,

449
00:37:47,000 --> 00:37:56,000
where we said that, or I said basically that his four celebrations in a row for his goal against Inter

450
00:37:56,000 --> 00:37:59,000
was way too cocky, especially when he's been rubbish.

451
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:02,000
Until we got the goal, he's like, thought he proved the haters wrong or something.

452
00:38:02,000 --> 00:38:05,000
They would click on their profiles to see who they hate the scottish bro,

453
00:38:05,000 --> 00:38:10,000
but they all laugh in their bio and their descriptions.

454
00:38:10,000 --> 00:38:15,000
Another funny one is I posted a snippet recently of Kamaridov Milan,

455
00:38:15,000 --> 00:38:18,000
and the snippet starts with me saying I have a theory,

456
00:38:18,000 --> 00:38:22,000
and it's basically me saying that he was brought on basically to get him addicted to Milan,

457
00:38:22,000 --> 00:38:24,000
so he renews the contract, right?

458
00:38:24,000 --> 00:38:27,000
This guy, this fucking guy thinks he's so intelligent.

459
00:38:27,000 --> 00:38:29,000
Albert Einstein is starting to hear me.

460
00:38:29,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Albert Einstein with his theory away.

461
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:34,000
I'm like, I'm like, they actually have cropped up by it.

462
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:36,000
Love it bro, love it, they're drawing.

463
00:38:36,000 --> 00:38:38,000
Never saying I have a theory again.

464
00:38:38,000 --> 00:38:44,000
But shout out as well to Josep Martinez, goalkeeper of Geno,

465
00:38:44,000 --> 00:38:45,000
who's brilliant game.

466
00:38:45,000 --> 00:38:47,000
He gifted cares of the ball at one point,

467
00:38:47,000 --> 00:38:53,000
but he made immense bravely jumping at his feet and saving the ball over there.

468
00:38:53,000 --> 00:38:56,000
And then in the 89th minute, he had a miracle save on Bremer,

469
00:38:56,000 --> 00:38:59,000
of course, on that corner when you were finally going to do Juve things

470
00:38:59,000 --> 00:39:03,000
and score from a set piece, but he had something to say about that.

471
00:39:03,000 --> 00:39:08,000
Two things, Juve should have probably had a penalty for a Bonnie handball.

472
00:39:08,000 --> 00:39:15,000
It's a bit of a gray area when it comes to handballs when the ball strikes the body first

473
00:39:15,000 --> 00:39:16,000
and then hits the arm.

474
00:39:16,000 --> 00:39:19,000
Like there was another situation like that in Serie A this weekend,

475
00:39:19,000 --> 00:39:21,000
and referees often talk about it.

476
00:39:21,000 --> 00:39:25,000
They don't like giving those penalties, especially when they're penalties.

477
00:39:25,000 --> 00:39:29,000
I think he should have at least gone to VAR to have another look at it.

478
00:39:29,000 --> 00:39:35,000
I don't think every situation where the body strikes the arm but strikes the body first,

479
00:39:35,000 --> 00:39:38,000
sorry, the ball strikes the body first and then hits the arm,

480
00:39:38,000 --> 00:39:43,000
should instantly be depleted and not considered an offense.

481
00:39:43,000 --> 00:39:50,000
I think that the referee should be able to apply his own interpretation of the rule

482
00:39:50,000 --> 00:39:52,000
by being called to the monitor.

483
00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:54,000
Because his arm was super extended.

484
00:39:54,000 --> 00:40:00,000
Exactly, when it's something as clear as that to be, it struck his hand clearly.

485
00:40:00,000 --> 00:40:03,000
Send the referee over to him, take a look quickly.

486
00:40:03,000 --> 00:40:08,000
I don't know man, I think that it should have at least gone to VAR.

487
00:40:08,000 --> 00:40:13,000
Another one that should have definitely gone to VAR was Malinowski's leg breaker on Yield.

488
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:15,000
That shouldn't have gone to VAR, that should have been a red card.

489
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:17,000
Three red cards, studs up and there.

490
00:40:17,000 --> 00:40:21,000
The force with which he went in as well with his studs so high up man.

491
00:40:21,000 --> 00:40:28,000
No, I think it's safe to say that Juve weren't exactly favored in this game.

492
00:40:28,000 --> 00:40:31,000
I think Genoa were slightly favored in this game.

493
00:40:31,000 --> 00:40:33,000
Juve were done a bit dirty on certain occasions.

494
00:40:33,000 --> 00:40:36,000
Favors, calls went their way through.

495
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:38,000
They were a bit lucky with their calls.

496
00:40:38,000 --> 00:40:41,000
We also got to see a Ling Jr.

497
00:40:41,000 --> 00:40:44,000
That's not something that happens very often.

498
00:40:44,000 --> 00:40:48,000
He was brought on to play in midfield because of, of course,

499
00:40:48,000 --> 00:40:51,000
Juventus basically have Pogba and Fajoli in prison.

500
00:40:51,000 --> 00:40:57,000
They have Robbio suspended of course so they need midfielders

501
00:40:57,000 --> 00:40:59,000
and they brought on Ling Jr. as a makeshift midfielder.

502
00:40:59,000 --> 00:41:01,000
Not sure how I feel about it.

503
00:41:01,000 --> 00:41:04,000
It would be nice to see him in his natural position because he's a super talent.

504
00:41:04,000 --> 00:41:05,000
Yeah.

505
00:41:05,000 --> 00:41:11,000
One more thing I want to say about Genoa is that I love their free kick routines

506
00:41:11,000 --> 00:41:14,000
of playing the ball to Dragousin at the far post because Dragousin is tall

507
00:41:14,000 --> 00:41:16,000
and he's very good at football as well.

508
00:41:16,000 --> 00:41:18,000
It was working every single time.

509
00:41:18,000 --> 00:41:19,000
Every time man.

510
00:41:19,000 --> 00:41:20,000
Every time.

511
00:41:20,000 --> 00:41:22,000
It's like someone mark him for the love of God.

512
00:41:22,000 --> 00:41:23,000
You know what I mean?

513
00:41:23,000 --> 00:41:25,000
They couldn't contain him at that far post man.

514
00:41:25,000 --> 00:41:26,000
No.

515
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:29,000
So every time he would manage. Let's see stats.

516
00:41:29,000 --> 00:41:30,000
Ariel Duel is one.

517
00:41:30,000 --> 00:41:33,000
He won four out of, he won three out of four Ariel Duel.

518
00:41:33,000 --> 00:41:34,000
Dragousin.

519
00:41:34,000 --> 00:41:35,000
Yeah, he's a beast in the air.

520
00:41:35,000 --> 00:41:36,000
An absolute monster.

521
00:41:36,000 --> 00:41:37,000
Yeah.

522
00:41:37,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Also, Messias had a bit of a knock in the 93rd minute.

523
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Poor guy was replaced by Hobslitz.

524
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:44,000
Hope it's nothing serious.

525
00:41:44,000 --> 00:41:47,000
And it's funny to see that when Juventus are in need of a goal,

526
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:51,000
they bring in Yildes who plays such an important role in the Turkish national team.

527
00:41:51,000 --> 00:41:55,000
He's brought on in the 88th minute when it's too late, you know?

528
00:41:55,000 --> 00:41:57,000
So they bring him on earlier man.

529
00:41:57,000 --> 00:42:01,000
You need a bit of a, you need someone to connect that midfield to the attack

530
00:42:01,000 --> 00:42:03,000
and Yildes would be perfect man.

531
00:42:03,000 --> 00:42:04,000
I think so.

532
00:42:04,000 --> 00:42:06,000
A player who plays so well for his country.

533
00:42:06,000 --> 00:42:07,000
Give him a chance.

534
00:42:07,000 --> 00:42:08,000
Yeah, why the fuck not?

535
00:42:08,000 --> 00:42:09,000
Why not?

536
00:42:09,000 --> 00:42:15,000
Genoa are in 14th place with 16 points while Juventus are in second place with 37 points.

537
00:42:15,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Milan three.

538
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:17,000
Monsa Nill.

539
00:42:17,000 --> 00:42:20,000
You guys know it as Milan Monsa.

540
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:22,000
We know it as the derby de Berlusconi.

541
00:42:22,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Milan coming off a midweek win at St. James' Park,

542
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:29,000
which was only good enough to get the Rossoneri Thursday night football.

543
00:42:29,000 --> 00:42:31,000
Oh, the hill, the hill.

544
00:42:31,000 --> 00:42:33,000
The, oh, the hill.

545
00:42:33,000 --> 00:42:39,000
Alan Shear talking about who was playing downhill in the second half, baby.

546
00:42:39,000 --> 00:42:43,000
The fucking hill, my ass.

547
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:47,000
The match unfolded with some significant developments,

548
00:42:47,000 --> 00:42:55,000
but Milan's change in formation to a 3-4-3 with a backline of Tomori, Kier, Pobega is what stole the headlines.

549
00:42:55,000 --> 00:43:00,000
Kier returned after two months out and Pobega, well, is not a centre back.

550
00:43:00,000 --> 00:43:05,000
Dude, this is, this is what I fucking, what impresses me about Piolli, man.

551
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:07,000
Give me that shit, give me that shit.

552
00:43:07,000 --> 00:43:10,000
He doesn't care what anyone has to say, man.

553
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:13,000
And sometimes it kind of work against him because he's criticized for being stubborn

554
00:43:13,000 --> 00:43:16,000
and he doesn't do what seems to be obvious, but in cases like this, man,

555
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:22,000
he's stuck with his gut and it worked because what other coach in the world?

556
00:43:22,000 --> 00:43:27,000
During an injury crisis when you're missing all your centre backs and you've got Kier,

557
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:30,000
who is basically on stilts at this point.

558
00:43:30,000 --> 00:43:35,000
And you've got no one, it's just Kier and Tomori, half a Kier and Tomori as your centre back.

559
00:43:35,000 --> 00:43:38,000
He plays three at the back, you know, and it fucking worked.

560
00:43:38,000 --> 00:43:40,000
So kudos to him.

561
00:43:40,000 --> 00:43:42,000
I, when I saw it, I couldn't believe my eyes.

562
00:43:42,000 --> 00:43:44,000
I was like, how is this guy playing three at the back?

563
00:43:44,000 --> 00:43:47,000
Three centre backs, man, we don't even have three centre backs at the moment.

564
00:43:47,000 --> 00:43:48,000
Literally.

565
00:43:48,000 --> 00:43:49,000
But it worked.

566
00:43:49,000 --> 00:43:56,000
Bro, even Kaldar has injured like, it's fucked up, but it worked and I think volume

567
00:43:56,000 --> 00:43:58,000
is what's going to stop teams from scoring.

568
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:03,000
So just put three pinheads at the back and just hope to God that nothing's gonna happen.

569
00:44:03,000 --> 00:44:06,000
You know, remember when Milan were going through that situation last season,

570
00:44:06,000 --> 00:44:08,000
that was the solution.

571
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:12,000
It's like, with every shot teams are taking against Milan, they're scoring.

572
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:18,000
So put three, put three men behind the ball and see if they'll get a shot away.

573
00:44:18,000 --> 00:44:20,000
And that's what got Milan out of that situation.

574
00:44:20,000 --> 00:44:24,000
That's what got Milan past Spurs in the round of 16 of the Champions League.

575
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:25,000
Contest Spurs.

576
00:44:25,000 --> 00:44:35,000
Yeah, it's what only got Milan to lose 1-0 against Inter when they had previously lost 3-0 and this and that.

577
00:44:35,000 --> 00:44:38,000
They lost fucking 5-2 to Saas Volo, they lost to Wodeners, they lost to all these guys.

578
00:44:38,000 --> 00:44:39,000
That's what saved them.

579
00:44:39,000 --> 00:44:44,000
And maybe, who knows, this is a solution.

580
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,000
Calabria was suspended after his red card, Milan's lost to Atalanta,

581
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:50,000
which meant that Florenzi started as a right wing back.

582
00:44:50,000 --> 00:44:56,000
That also freaked me out because he hasn't got the legs that he has had in the past, but whatever.

583
00:44:56,000 --> 00:45:01,000
The scoring action began early in the third minute when Reinders scored an impressive goal

584
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:07,000
maneuvering post defenders in his trademark direct run before finishing through the legs of the Gregorio.

585
00:45:07,000 --> 00:45:12,000
Like I said, Janet is in her caca, obviously, exaggeration, funny, haha.

586
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:14,000
Caca doesn't finish that poorly, huh?

587
00:45:14,000 --> 00:45:17,000
No, but let's not focus on that.

588
00:45:17,000 --> 00:45:19,000
It was a toe poke through the legs of the keeper.

589
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:23,000
I think the Gregorio was expecting a proper finish.

590
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:28,000
And the fact that the finish was like directly at him actually worked Reinders' advantage

591
00:45:28,000 --> 00:45:30,000
because the Gregorio was expecting to dive there.

592
00:45:30,000 --> 00:45:31,000
Yeah, I guess so.

593
00:45:31,000 --> 00:45:33,000
I guess so, but bro, what a goal.

594
00:45:33,000 --> 00:45:35,000
What a goal by Tiani.

595
00:45:35,000 --> 00:45:36,000
He did very well.

596
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:37,000
Great goal by Tiani.

597
00:45:37,000 --> 00:45:42,000
Pobega was forced to leave the field in the 23rd minute due to a muscular problem.

598
00:45:42,000 --> 00:45:43,000
What?

599
00:45:43,000 --> 00:45:48,000
A Milan player playing as a center back with a muscular problem?

600
00:45:48,000 --> 00:45:49,000
No way!

601
00:45:49,000 --> 00:45:54,000
That added to Milan's season's injury tally.

602
00:45:54,000 --> 00:46:01,000
With Calulu, Ciaucaldara and Pellegrino out injured, he was replaced by 18-year-old Serbian

603
00:46:01,000 --> 00:46:08,000
Giancarlo Simic who made his first ever appearance at senior levels in signing for AC Milan.

604
00:46:08,000 --> 00:46:13,000
It wasn't long before Simic's milestone became twice as memorable as he smashed the ball

605
00:46:13,000 --> 00:46:18,000
into the back of the net after a square pass by Rafa Leão making it too nil to Milan.

606
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:23,000
He had the entire bench out of their dugout jumping with him in celebration.

607
00:46:23,000 --> 00:46:24,000
What a moment.

608
00:46:24,000 --> 00:46:26,000
This is what football is about, no?

609
00:46:26,000 --> 00:46:28,000
Absolutely, man.

610
00:46:28,000 --> 00:46:35,000
These youngsters seeing Camarda coming on and reacting to the fans shouting his name

611
00:46:35,000 --> 00:46:38,000
and Simic's face after scoring the goal.

612
00:46:38,000 --> 00:46:43,000
You can tell the corporations can try to take over football all they want.

613
00:46:43,000 --> 00:46:46,000
These teams can make all these big money signings all they want.

614
00:46:46,000 --> 00:46:51,000
But when you see a youth player coming up the ranks and actually making his dream come true,

615
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,000
there's no way of stopping that first of all.

616
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:56,000
Second of all, that's what football is all about, man.

617
00:46:56,000 --> 00:46:57,000
And it's beautiful.

618
00:46:57,000 --> 00:46:59,000
What's the one other year, another Simic?

619
00:46:59,000 --> 00:47:00,000
Yes.

620
00:47:00,000 --> 00:47:01,000
How many Simic's have Milan had?

621
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,000
Two.

622
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,000
Way more than two.

623
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:11,000
There was the one that basically had one good game against Inter, I believe it was,

624
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:16,000
and he had an interview and he was a little bit cocky and then he was never heard of again.

625
00:47:16,000 --> 00:47:18,000
There was a Simic from when we were young.

626
00:47:18,000 --> 00:47:20,000
Well, the Simic we all know and love.

627
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:23,000
You know, there are quite a few Simics, bro.

628
00:47:23,000 --> 00:47:24,000
Quite a few.

629
00:47:24,000 --> 00:47:25,000
Another year, another Simic.

630
00:47:25,000 --> 00:47:27,000
Yep.

631
00:47:27,000 --> 00:47:35,000
Okofar sealed the victory at 76 minutes, capitalizing on a well-coordinated team move initiated by Reinders

632
00:47:35,000 --> 00:47:40,000
and just the hold-up play by Giroux over here, the technique in that pass.

633
00:47:40,000 --> 00:47:45,000
Beautiful moments later though, Okofar suffered a thigh injury which seemed to be prompted

634
00:47:45,000 --> 00:47:51,000
after his unorthodox celebration, marking Milan's 29th injury this season.

635
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:54,000
Do you think it was because of the celebration, man?

636
00:47:54,000 --> 00:47:59,000
I mean, this isn't, I haven't seen any articles pointing at it.

637
00:47:59,000 --> 00:48:03,000
It's just me and you are watching some highlights saying,

638
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:04,000
OOP!

639
00:48:04,000 --> 00:48:05,000
What happened there?

640
00:48:05,000 --> 00:48:06,000
OOP!

641
00:48:06,000 --> 00:48:11,000
There's speculation that going down on his left knee, he went down on his left knee, right?

642
00:48:11,000 --> 00:48:13,000
And he got up and kind of stumbled.

643
00:48:13,000 --> 00:48:18,000
Maybe he just lost balance, but he was fine up until that point and then after that he was fucked.

644
00:48:18,000 --> 00:48:23,000
So maybe he did injure himself in the celebration, but you know, for next time, man.

645
00:48:23,000 --> 00:48:25,000
Yeah, perhaps, perhaps.

646
00:48:25,000 --> 00:48:27,000
He's out for a month, it's just devastating, man.

647
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:30,000
This guy is barely playing and he's already on four goals.

648
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:32,000
He's good, man.

649
00:48:32,000 --> 00:48:40,000
He runs into the box late, he's a late arrival in the box and he offers options that we don't usually have in the box.

650
00:48:40,000 --> 00:48:44,000
He creates this kind of fluidity around him.

651
00:48:44,000 --> 00:48:48,000
And he also presses so fucking well.

652
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:53,000
He presses so well high up the field and think about it, Milan really don't have players that press high up the field.

653
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:56,000
Laos doesn't press for the life of him.

654
00:48:56,000 --> 00:48:59,000
Giroud tries, poor guy.

655
00:48:59,000 --> 00:49:02,000
Jovic does presses to me for you.

656
00:49:02,000 --> 00:49:08,000
No way near as effectively as Okafor.

657
00:49:08,000 --> 00:49:10,000
And Chuku presses quite hard as well.

658
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:13,000
Chuku presses quite a lot.

659
00:49:13,000 --> 00:49:18,000
I think of Chuku, it was a sound clip.

660
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:22,000
Chuku, when he's on the ball.

661
00:49:22,000 --> 00:49:26,000
It's like, you know, when the Flintstones are driving their car, they've got their feet.

662
00:49:26,000 --> 00:49:29,000
I have to find this, bro.

663
00:49:29,000 --> 00:49:44,000
Someone on Twitter basically said, this is how Chuku Eze plays football.

664
00:49:44,000 --> 00:49:53,000
It's so good.

665
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:55,000
That's stupid.

666
00:49:55,000 --> 00:50:01,000
Shout out to Chuku Eze for getting the winner against Newcastle Midweek.

667
00:50:01,000 --> 00:50:03,000
What a goal.

668
00:50:03,000 --> 00:50:11,000
Lovely, by the way, again, positive praise for Piori, making the substitutions that eventually guarantee the team.

669
00:50:11,000 --> 00:50:14,000
Yes, something we're not used to as Milan fans.

670
00:50:14,000 --> 00:50:16,000
We often criticise in game management.

671
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:18,000
We often criticise in game management.

672
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:21,000
We really haven't seen that, but this one he made as well with Simic.

673
00:50:21,000 --> 00:50:28,000
What did you make of Simic, not only for his goal, but the way he fit into, particularly, that triad back formation?

674
00:50:28,000 --> 00:50:32,000
I was very pleased with him and I was ready to praise him before he had even scored.

675
00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:34,000
He fit in like a glove, man.

676
00:50:34,000 --> 00:50:37,000
The guy was brought in, I believe, for one million euros as a youngster.

677
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:39,000
From Stuttgart.

678
00:50:39,000 --> 00:50:45,000
Like, that's a very, very expensive signing for a youngster.

679
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:48,000
He's only 18 now, like, I don't know when he was bought.

680
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:55,000
But he's been developing very nicely, clearly, under the radar, and I like the way that Milan have taken care of this play.

681
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:58,000
Because he's clearly ready, man.

682
00:50:58,000 --> 00:50:59,000
He's ready.

683
00:50:59,000 --> 00:51:03,000
And this kind of thing, when you have an injury crisis...

684
00:51:03,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Cry-Sci.

685
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Cry-Sci.

686
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:10,000
When you have many an injury crisis...

687
00:51:10,000 --> 00:51:12,000
Lovely, lovely.

688
00:51:12,000 --> 00:51:14,000
You often find gems.

689
00:51:14,000 --> 00:51:17,000
You often find diamonds that come out of nowhere.

690
00:51:17,000 --> 00:51:19,000
For example, Malik Chow.

691
00:51:19,000 --> 00:51:20,000
Exactly.

692
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:24,000
Malik Chow was brought about when Milan had no more defenders to rely on,

693
00:51:24,000 --> 00:51:26,000
and suddenly the new boy had to...

694
00:51:26,000 --> 00:51:28,000
It was forced to play basically.

695
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,000
And it's the same thing with this guy.

696
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:36,000
Now I wonder, can Milan return to a 4-2-3-1 and start with Tomori alongside Simic?

697
00:51:36,000 --> 00:51:38,000
For example, is he ready for that?

698
00:51:38,000 --> 00:51:40,000
Back 3 does protect you.

699
00:51:40,000 --> 00:51:45,000
Back 3 does kind of give you a bit more room for error.

700
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:48,000
And they have less pressure on you.

701
00:51:48,000 --> 00:51:49,000
But it is interesting.

702
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,000
This guy made himself available and he was ready,

703
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:53,000
and he had a fantastic game in my opinion.

704
00:51:53,000 --> 00:51:54,000
Looked like a mature player.

705
00:51:54,000 --> 00:51:55,000
What did you think of...

706
00:51:55,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Firstly, I agreed regarding Simic.

707
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:00,000
I think even his confidence in carrying the ball forward

708
00:52:00,000 --> 00:52:03,000
and playing it out wide to Florence, you're playing it to Ruben.

709
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:04,000
And beating the press man.

710
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,000
They press him and he escapes.

711
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:07,000
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

712
00:52:07,000 --> 00:52:09,000
Good, very good.

713
00:52:09,000 --> 00:52:11,000
Bartas Algi.

714
00:52:11,000 --> 00:52:12,000
Also good.

715
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:13,000
Pellegrino.

716
00:52:13,000 --> 00:52:16,000
Also good, just baptism of fire against fucking Inter.

717
00:52:16,000 --> 00:52:17,000
No?

718
00:52:17,000 --> 00:52:18,000
Against Napoli.

719
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:20,000
Against Napoli, you're right.

720
00:52:20,000 --> 00:52:23,000
To be honest, Pellegrino haven't really seen...

721
00:52:23,000 --> 00:52:26,000
I haven't really seen much of Pellegrino.

722
00:52:26,000 --> 00:52:32,000
I feel like obviously Simic is being painted in a higher light

723
00:52:32,000 --> 00:52:36,000
at the moment naturally as he should be for his performance.

724
00:52:36,000 --> 00:52:41,000
But lest we forget that there are other young talents in Milan's youth system as well

725
00:52:41,000 --> 00:52:44,000
in that area that we could be seeing much more of in the future.

726
00:52:44,000 --> 00:52:47,000
Particularly the versatile Bartas Algi.

727
00:52:47,000 --> 00:52:51,000
Who can play as a left back and who could play as a left centre back as well.

728
00:52:51,000 --> 00:52:53,000
I am excited to see him in the future as well.

729
00:52:53,000 --> 00:52:58,000
But right now it's all about Simic and Milan's three at the back formation.

730
00:52:58,000 --> 00:53:02,000
What did you think of Milan in a 3-4-3?

731
00:53:02,000 --> 00:53:07,000
Because typically when you start three at the back, you're prioritising defence.

732
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:13,000
But we have seen teams like Inter, particularly under Simone and Zaghi and under Conte as well.

733
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:16,000
Where you have a three at the back but you have a very fluid team

734
00:53:16,000 --> 00:53:19,000
who's always constantly thinking about attacking.

735
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:24,000
And I do think that Milan had a tighter defence and even more fluid attacks.

736
00:53:24,000 --> 00:53:29,000
What was interesting for me is that this was a 3-4-3 but it was really narrow.

737
00:53:29,000 --> 00:53:31,000
And much of the play went down the middle.

738
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:35,000
I liked it a lot man and I really liked Leo's positioning.

739
00:53:35,000 --> 00:53:39,000
He was often the reference point up front.

740
00:53:39,000 --> 00:53:45,000
If you look at the heat map, his average position, he was the player that was furthest up compared to everyone else.

741
00:53:45,000 --> 00:53:47,000
Even Juru was deeper than him.

742
00:53:47,000 --> 00:53:50,000
I thought it was great.

743
00:53:50,000 --> 00:53:54,000
I don't think that this should be the way forward in every single game.

744
00:53:54,000 --> 00:53:59,000
But it's nice to know that Milan have this option to fall back on in certain games.

745
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:08,000
Where for example, either you've got the defensive crisis or you're struggling to create.

746
00:54:08,000 --> 00:54:12,000
Or maybe the opponent plays a certain system that you wish the mirror.

747
00:54:12,000 --> 00:54:15,000
For example, this is a good weapon to have in your sleeve.

748
00:54:15,000 --> 00:54:18,000
Definitely and it's the same as last season.

749
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:22,000
Except I don't get carried away after just one performance.

750
00:54:22,000 --> 00:54:25,000
But Milan really did look good bro.

751
00:54:25,000 --> 00:54:28,000
Because Milan have a good team man.

752
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:31,000
And I think that's the reason that no one's ever available.

753
00:54:31,000 --> 00:54:35,000
But when you see the options that Pio has been bringing of the bench.

754
00:54:35,000 --> 00:54:38,000
Bringing on the likes of Okafor and Trucuesa.

755
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:41,000
Okafor and Trucuesa are an injection of pace and power.

756
00:54:41,000 --> 00:54:43,000
You look at...

757
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:48,000
I've criticised Jovic aggressively on this podcast.

758
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:52,000
But he's a player who speaks for itself.

759
00:54:52,000 --> 00:54:54,000
And he's really picked it up.

760
00:54:54,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Of course and he has.

761
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:58,000
He's a very intelligent player.

762
00:54:58,000 --> 00:55:01,000
He looks at the street and he's like, you bring one of them out.

763
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:03,000
You bring in Ismael Benassay.

764
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:05,000
The Afghan player of the year.

765
00:55:05,000 --> 00:55:07,000
He's a brilliant player.

766
00:55:07,000 --> 00:55:10,000
He said he wants to win the ball on the door by the way.

767
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:13,000
He also said that he wouldn't mind to move back to Washington.

768
00:55:13,000 --> 00:55:15,000
Because he loves the club.

769
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:17,000
He also said he's going to Afghan.

770
00:55:17,000 --> 00:55:19,000
But yes, Milan have options.

771
00:55:19,000 --> 00:55:21,000
They're very unlucky with their injuries.

772
00:55:21,000 --> 00:55:24,000
But yes, these versatile players that Milan have.

773
00:55:24,000 --> 00:55:26,000
These players can play in two or three positions.

774
00:55:26,000 --> 00:55:30,000
So of course there is room for experimentation.

775
00:55:30,000 --> 00:55:33,000
Do you know what pisses me off?

776
00:55:33,000 --> 00:55:35,000
Pisses me off.

777
00:55:35,000 --> 00:55:37,000
Tell me what pisses you off.

778
00:55:37,000 --> 00:55:40,000
The fact that Milan are always like,

779
00:55:40,000 --> 00:55:42,000
no, we're not a three at the back team.

780
00:55:42,000 --> 00:55:44,000
No, we're a four, three, three.

781
00:55:44,000 --> 00:55:45,000
We're a four, two, three, one.

782
00:55:45,000 --> 00:55:48,000
No, we shouldn't get Conte, for example.

783
00:55:48,000 --> 00:55:51,000
How could Milan play with a three at the back?

784
00:55:51,000 --> 00:55:53,000
Pisses me off a bit.

785
00:55:53,000 --> 00:55:55,000
I don't know.

786
00:55:55,000 --> 00:55:59,000
Maybe, maybe if Milan had a certain manager

787
00:55:59,000 --> 00:56:01,000
that could play a three at the back.

788
00:56:01,000 --> 00:56:04,000
And maybe was a very, very good manager

789
00:56:04,000 --> 00:56:06,000
and a very experienced manager.

790
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:08,000
Oh God, you're talking about Tony, aren't you?

791
00:56:08,000 --> 00:56:10,000
Tony.

792
00:56:10,000 --> 00:56:11,000
Antonio.

793
00:56:11,000 --> 00:56:13,000
I confused me.

794
00:56:13,000 --> 00:56:19,000
Not just Tony, if that's what we're fucking calling Conte nowadays.

795
00:56:19,000 --> 00:56:22,000
I don't like Conte.

796
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:23,000
Okay, I'm a Milan fan.

797
00:56:23,000 --> 00:56:25,000
Conte was at you, where Conte was at Inter.

798
00:56:25,000 --> 00:56:29,000
He understood that both of them, he is the devil.

799
00:56:29,000 --> 00:56:31,000
That's what he is to me.

800
00:56:31,000 --> 00:56:34,000
We can appreciate that he's a great manager,

801
00:56:34,000 --> 00:56:36,000
but it's weird seeing him on your team

802
00:56:36,000 --> 00:56:37,000
because he's always been the enemy.

803
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:38,000
Exactly.

804
00:56:38,000 --> 00:56:40,000
But all I'm going to say is that

805
00:56:40,000 --> 00:56:44,000
maybe Milan shouldn't be so quick to shut down

806
00:56:44,000 --> 00:56:46,000
different managers because we don't believe

807
00:56:46,000 --> 00:56:48,000
that we could play certain formations

808
00:56:48,000 --> 00:56:51,000
because whenever Milan played a three at the back,

809
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:53,000
even last season, we're like,

810
00:56:53,000 --> 00:56:55,000
oh look how much better Milan are.

811
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:57,000
I don't think it's about Milan not being able

812
00:56:57,000 --> 00:56:58,000
to play a certain formation.

813
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:01,000
I think it's more about long-term planning.

814
00:57:01,000 --> 00:57:04,000
So you bring in Conte, okay, he might win your league

815
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,000
in two seasons, but what's he going to do to win you that league?

816
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,000
He's going to complain a lot in the media.

817
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:14,000
He's going to create unrest between the management

818
00:57:14,000 --> 00:57:17,000
and the upper division of the team.

819
00:57:17,000 --> 00:57:20,000
He's going to push for certain profiles that he wants

820
00:57:20,000 --> 00:57:23,000
that maybe aren't sustainable profiles in the future,

821
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,000
maybe go against the plan that Milan have of investing young,

822
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:27,000
for example.

823
00:57:27,000 --> 00:57:35,000
He's going to focus on winning immediately, that's it.

824
00:57:35,000 --> 00:57:38,000
And Milan don't necessarily need to win immediately

825
00:57:38,000 --> 00:57:39,000
because Milan won a Scudetto recently,

826
00:57:39,000 --> 00:57:41,000
they're getting top four consistently,

827
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:42,000
they're on the right track.

828
00:57:42,000 --> 00:57:45,000
Now what they need is a manager to match the philosophy

829
00:57:45,000 --> 00:57:48,000
that they want to deploy,

830
00:57:48,000 --> 00:57:50,000
which is clearly a positive brand of football,

831
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:53,000
a 4-3-3 or a 4-2-3-1 or whatever.

832
00:57:53,000 --> 00:57:57,000
But I like the profiles of Thiago Motta or Dezerbi, for example.

833
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:00,000
Those would be fantastic if Piori were to actually leave.

834
00:58:00,000 --> 00:58:01,000
Yeah, I agree.

835
00:58:01,000 --> 00:58:04,000
I love those two managers and I also don't want to be that guy

836
00:58:04,000 --> 00:58:08,000
that says Milan should instantly only consider a three-at-the-back

837
00:58:08,000 --> 00:58:11,000
formation after a positive performance against Monsaota,

838
00:58:11,000 --> 00:58:12,000
three-at-the-back.

839
00:58:12,000 --> 00:58:16,000
I'm just saying don't be so quick to turn down options

840
00:58:16,000 --> 00:58:19,000
because players adapt and that's clear.

841
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:24,000
And not to mention Conte's salary would be more than any of Milan's players.

842
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:25,000
Exactly, no.

843
00:58:25,000 --> 00:58:28,000
He would be making more than layout.

844
00:58:28,000 --> 00:58:30,000
So would Dezerbi, Brovint, with that being said,

845
00:58:30,000 --> 00:58:34,000
he's tasting that fucking cash, that Premier League cash.

846
00:58:34,000 --> 00:58:37,000
Is he on a crazy salary at Brighton?

847
00:58:37,000 --> 00:58:38,000
I'm not sure if it's a crazy salary.

848
00:58:38,000 --> 00:58:41,000
I don't know Premier League manager's salaries,

849
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:48,000
but I know that basically him to City After Pep is essentially a Dundee.

850
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:56,000
He won't come to Milan and Motta, I think he's got very different plans to Milan.

851
00:58:56,000 --> 00:58:57,000
Perhaps, perhaps.

852
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:00,000
But I think Motta's open-minded enough to look at the project

853
00:59:00,000 --> 00:59:02,000
and to move on from there.

854
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:06,000
You see, managers, man, they often don't seem to care about their past alliances.

855
00:59:06,000 --> 00:59:07,000
Hey, Piori.

856
00:59:07,000 --> 00:59:09,000
Piori is one of them.

857
00:59:09,000 --> 00:59:13,000
He played for Juva and managed Inter and managed Milan.

858
00:59:13,000 --> 00:59:17,000
And Fiorentina, who are massive rivals to Juva.

859
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:20,000
I think that's more the Fiorentina side than on the Juva side.

860
00:59:20,000 --> 00:59:25,000
Milan, third, on 32 points.

861
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:28,000
Monza in tenth on 21 points.

862
00:59:28,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Yes, bro.

863
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:32,000
We can talk about Bologna Roma, which ended 2-0.

864
00:59:32,000 --> 00:59:35,000
It was a victory for Bologna at the Dallara Stadium.

865
00:59:35,000 --> 00:59:36,000
Massive, bro.

866
00:59:36,000 --> 00:59:39,000
It was a beautiful Dallara Stadium.

867
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:42,000
Shout out to Jessica, a friend of the podcast who was there.

868
00:59:42,000 --> 00:59:43,000
Supporting the wrong team.

869
00:59:43,000 --> 00:59:45,000
Supporting the wrong team, he was miserable.

870
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:50,000
They secured the win through goals from Moro and their own goal by Christensen.

871
00:59:50,000 --> 00:59:54,000
They were missing key players like Lukaku and Debala.

872
00:59:54,000 --> 00:59:58,000
And they struggled against a faster, well-organized Bologna side.

873
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:02,000
I mean, who are Roma without Lukaku and Debala this season?

874
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:04,000
Absolutely nothing.

875
01:00:04,000 --> 01:00:05,000
Nothing.

876
01:00:05,000 --> 01:00:06,000
They were a very good team.

877
01:00:06,000 --> 01:00:07,000
That's what they look like.

878
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:11,000
Ravallia was given a start in goal for Bologna.

879
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:16,000
Skoropski has been fantastic, but apparently Ravallia has shown a lot in training.

880
01:00:16,000 --> 01:00:18,000
Has been training very well to a very high level.

881
01:00:18,000 --> 01:00:21,000
To the point that Mota said, you know what man, you deserve a start.

882
01:00:21,000 --> 01:00:24,000
And he started him in a game against Roma.

883
01:00:24,000 --> 01:00:25,000
24 years old.

884
01:00:25,000 --> 01:00:26,000
That's a cool move.

885
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,000
For a keeper, that's fucking young.

886
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:30,000
That's so young for a goalkeeper.

887
01:00:30,000 --> 01:00:31,000
It's true.

888
01:00:31,000 --> 01:00:35,000
One of the players of the match was Dan Endoyo, played on the right.

889
01:00:35,000 --> 01:00:36,000
Salah Makers played on the left.

890
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:37,000
Ferguson was in the track white.

891
01:00:37,000 --> 01:00:43,000
His top position with Xerxes up front, while Roma started with El-Sharawi and Bellotti up front.

892
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:49,000
The match started with intense physicality, many robust challenges and disputes.

893
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:53,000
And Guida had a really tough time managing the emotions this game.

894
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:57,000
Many yellow cards early on as well.

895
01:00:57,000 --> 01:01:06,000
It was in the 37th minute where Dan Endoyo found Nicola Morrow with a pullback pass.

896
01:01:06,000 --> 01:01:07,000
What would you call it?

897
01:01:07,000 --> 01:01:08,000
A pullback pass kind of.

898
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:10,000
You run to the byline and pass the ball.

899
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,000
Yeah, you literally pull back the ball.

900
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,000
Nicola Morrow was entrapped back by Pellegrini.

901
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:19,000
He ran and he slotted it home to score the first goal of the game.

902
01:01:19,000 --> 01:01:26,000
Shortly into the second half from the 49th minute, it was Dan Endoyo again charging.

903
01:01:26,000 --> 01:01:29,000
He played the ball to Ferguson.

904
01:01:29,000 --> 01:01:33,000
Ferguson whipped the ball in and Dan Endoyo was in a 50-50 with Rasmus Christensen.

905
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:41,000
I tried to get the ball into the back of the net, eventually the ball deflected off Rasmus Christensen and went into the back of the net for an own goal.

906
01:01:41,000 --> 01:01:44,000
And that pretty much was the game over there.

907
01:01:44,000 --> 01:01:47,000
Ravalia had to make some amazing saves.

908
01:01:47,000 --> 01:01:48,000
Brilliant saves.

909
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:55,000
I had two great saves on Bellotti and one great save on Lorente who tried to chip him from the halfway line in the first half.

910
01:01:55,000 --> 01:02:00,000
The second miss by Bellotti should have definitely done much better though.

911
01:02:00,000 --> 01:02:02,000
That was a terrible miss on the one.

912
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:07,000
You think back of the Bellotti that we used to at Torino, he would have fucking executed that chance brilliantly.

913
01:02:07,000 --> 01:02:19,000
One of the main talking points of the game was Morinio bringing in Renato Sanchez in the second half in the 46th minute and then removing him again in the 64th minute.

914
01:02:19,000 --> 01:02:21,000
He brought him on for 19 minutes.

915
01:02:21,000 --> 01:02:25,000
Did he not injure it? That's what I perceived.

916
01:02:25,000 --> 01:02:26,000
He wasn't injured.

917
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:32,000
In his post-match presser he explained, with Renato we live in a situation of hope.

918
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:39,000
We always think that space, certain responsibilities, adrenaline are the ideal way to make him make the leap.

919
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:41,000
He has emotional scars.

920
01:02:41,000 --> 01:02:43,000
He has many fears due to past injuries.

921
01:02:43,000 --> 01:02:46,000
He works at a low intensity on everything we do.

922
01:02:46,000 --> 01:02:49,000
He improves in volume and workload but never in intensity.

923
01:02:49,000 --> 01:02:53,000
In the last match against Sheriff he had given us 60 minutes of hope.

924
01:02:53,000 --> 01:02:58,000
And today I thought about inserting him because the team could have benefited from his quality.

925
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:03,000
But then I realized I had made a mistake because he wasn't ready to make the leap in such an intense setting.

926
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:04,000
I'm sorry.

927
01:03:04,000 --> 01:03:12,000
The last time I did this to a player before Renato was mottage and I'm terribly sorry about this but today I couldn't leave the team with a player who had become frustrated.

928
01:03:12,000 --> 01:03:14,000
I had to make the decision.

929
01:03:15,000 --> 01:03:16,000
Morinio.

930
01:03:16,000 --> 01:03:23,000
Are you that kind of guy that over shares everything that's going on in your head in these scenarios?

931
01:03:23,000 --> 01:03:25,000
Because he's probably right.

932
01:03:25,000 --> 01:03:27,000
But he's definitely right in that sense.

933
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:29,000
He knows his players best.

934
01:03:29,000 --> 01:03:30,000
He's a genius.

935
01:03:30,000 --> 01:03:33,000
He's got bags of experience.

936
01:03:33,000 --> 01:03:37,000
Sometimes you make a mistake.

937
01:03:37,000 --> 01:03:46,000
So just say look I made a mistake it was the wrong tactical approach that I was going for with that change.

938
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,000
I mean he did apologize.

939
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:50,000
My bad but he put it on the player.

940
01:03:50,000 --> 01:03:55,000
He put it on the player by elaborating on why his mistake.

941
01:03:55,000 --> 01:04:00,000
It was my mistake because it's all his fault and I shouldn't have given him that responsibility.

942
01:04:00,000 --> 01:04:01,000
That's why he's Morinio.

943
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:08,000
Classic Morinio throwing his players under the bus and trying to be a big man about it while he's doing that.

944
01:04:08,000 --> 01:04:18,000
I'm sorry and with this pre-context that Morinio has about a player who is scared of going into 50-50s

945
01:04:18,000 --> 01:04:28,000
and because of his history with injuries you bring him on in a feisty fucking encounter a way to Bologna where you're down and pretty much out.

946
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:29,000
You bring him on.

947
01:04:29,000 --> 01:04:30,000
You want to bring on a fighter.

948
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:32,000
He's on a good salary.

949
01:04:32,000 --> 01:04:34,000
He should be ready for these games bro.

950
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:43,000
I know that the profile they bought they should know what to expect when you bring in a player with such a terrible injury record.

951
01:04:43,000 --> 01:04:46,000
Clearly he's not ready man.

952
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:47,000
He's not ready yet.

953
01:04:47,000 --> 01:04:51,000
One of my favorite things he said was...

954
01:04:51,000 --> 01:04:53,000
Where is it?

955
01:04:53,000 --> 01:05:04,000
I want to publicly apologize Serenato what I felt I was doing is hard for a footballer but it was hard for me too.

956
01:05:04,000 --> 01:05:08,000
He also said bro listen to this listen to Morinio's words man.

957
01:05:08,000 --> 01:05:14,000
Without Duba'ala there is no class and without Romelu we lack physicality.

958
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,000
I knew it would be tough without them.

959
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:18,000
We had great physical difficulties.

960
01:05:18,000 --> 01:05:22,000
Bologna have players with skill and intensity.

961
01:05:22,000 --> 01:05:23,000
We don't.

962
01:05:23,000 --> 01:05:26,000
For this reason the game became more complicated.

963
01:05:26,000 --> 01:05:30,000
Like again putting it on his players.

964
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:31,000
You know what this was?

965
01:05:31,000 --> 01:05:40,000
You know what this game was to me as a consumer by not a genius not a tactical fucking maniac of football.

966
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:44,000
But to me as an observer I sounded at what you say a week and week out.

967
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:59,000
This was a classic traditional manager with a classically traditionally set up team versus a modern manager with a modern team.

968
01:05:59,000 --> 01:06:00,000
That's what it was.

969
01:06:00,000 --> 01:06:13,000
It was free flowing offensive confident attacking technical football against cowardice and cheap tactics

970
01:06:13,000 --> 01:06:16,000
in order to try to scrape a point out of this game.

971
01:06:16,000 --> 01:06:18,000
That was the difference to me.

972
01:06:18,000 --> 01:06:24,000
In theory Roma weren't far off from getting something out of this game.

973
01:06:24,000 --> 01:06:27,000
When you look at the statistics they're almost perfectly even.

974
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:30,000
Bologna of course had more possession that seems to be the case with Roma.

975
01:06:30,000 --> 01:06:37,000
The XG was very similar 0.51 for Bologna 0.59 for Roma and the quality of chances was the same.

976
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:43,000
The main difference I think for me was Ravaglia.

977
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:48,000
Because it could have totally been a more even match of it weren't for him.

978
01:06:48,000 --> 01:06:51,000
But yes you are right.

979
01:06:51,000 --> 01:06:58,000
Of course stylistically Tiago Motta's system is a lot more positive than Mourinho's for sure.

980
01:06:58,000 --> 01:07:01,000
Mourinho mentioned an interesting point post game as well.

981
01:07:01,000 --> 01:07:05,000
He said that Roma should really think about the financial fair play situation.

982
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:09,000
And that maybe it would be better to move forward with young players.

983
01:07:09,000 --> 01:07:14,000
He said everyone knows the overall quality of the team.

984
01:07:14,000 --> 01:07:19,000
I assume he's implying that it's not too standard.

985
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:25,000
He's saying that I'm willing to stay on as the Roma manager and I do hope that they give me a contract.

986
01:07:25,000 --> 01:07:31,000
But these players are not of the right quality and maybe we should focus on developing a few players for a long term project.

987
01:07:31,000 --> 01:07:36,000
Basically saying let's take on the Milan project essentially because that's what Milan are doing.

988
01:07:36,000 --> 01:07:44,000
Yes because if they've got the option of like every summer it's oh my god Roma didn't spend a single cent.

989
01:07:44,000 --> 01:07:46,000
And do you know who they brought in?

990
01:07:46,000 --> 01:07:54,000
It's like yes you're bringing in good players but you're not bringing in long term solutions.

991
01:07:54,000 --> 01:07:59,000
You're not bringing in anyone to be the center of your project.

992
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:05,000
You're bringing in 28 year olds, 29 year olds who struggle significantly with injuries.

993
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:07,000
And what happens in a case like this?

994
01:08:07,000 --> 01:08:12,000
You've got a game where Lukaku is out suspended and the ball is injured.

995
01:08:12,000 --> 01:08:18,000
And look at Roma's team and tell me they deserve to be anywhere close to the top four with a team like that.

996
01:08:18,000 --> 01:08:25,000
Pellegrini Paredes, Cristante, Christensen, Spinazzola, Elsharaoui Bellotti.

997
01:08:25,000 --> 01:08:32,000
They need to be at full strength I think to contest for that top four spot.

998
01:08:32,000 --> 01:08:38,000
Look at their injury list. They've got Smolling, Awar, Debala, Abraham who I forgot existed by the way.

999
01:08:38,000 --> 01:08:43,000
And Spinazzola was actually doubtful for this game.

1000
01:08:43,000 --> 01:08:45,000
So they're playing with Spinazzola who's not at 100%.

1001
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:48,000
They bring in Renato Sanchez who's not at 100%.

1002
01:08:48,000 --> 01:08:51,000
Gianluca Mancini at the back apparently is playing with an acute hernia.

1003
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:55,000
So it's not looking good for Roma.

1004
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:57,000
That must be tough, playing with a fucking hernia.

1005
01:08:57,000 --> 01:08:59,000
That must be tough. Jesus.

1006
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:01,000
And not getting a yellow card.

1007
01:09:01,000 --> 01:09:04,000
If you stay calm and you've got a hernia.

1008
01:09:04,000 --> 01:09:07,000
You think he had like a stick up his ass or something.

1009
01:09:07,000 --> 01:09:12,000
I find it really funny by the way how it seems that Mancini's calmed down nowadays.

1010
01:09:12,000 --> 01:09:17,000
It's hilarious because he was always the first one to get booked and always the first one to go up to players and confront.

1011
01:09:17,000 --> 01:09:19,000
Like in confrontations it'd be in the front.

1012
01:09:19,000 --> 01:09:21,000
Like he's a maniac.

1013
01:09:21,000 --> 01:09:23,000
Yeah nowadays it seems that he's calmed down though.

1014
01:09:23,000 --> 01:09:25,000
And like everyone around him seems to have taken on his spirit.

1015
01:09:25,000 --> 01:09:26,000
It's quite funny.

1016
01:09:26,000 --> 01:09:28,000
Yeah I guess.

1017
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:31,000
But I think Bologna deserve the victory over here.

1018
01:09:31,000 --> 01:09:34,000
They're in the top four and I think they deserve to be there man.

1019
01:09:34,000 --> 01:09:36,000
Absolutely.

1020
01:09:36,000 --> 01:09:38,000
Froyler as a defensive pivot.

1021
01:09:38,000 --> 01:09:39,000
Madonna.

1022
01:09:39,000 --> 01:09:40,000
Wow man.

1023
01:09:40,000 --> 01:09:41,000
The best player on the pitch.

1024
01:09:41,000 --> 01:09:42,000
By far.

1025
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:45,000
Him of course and Doya had a great game.

1026
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:46,000
He was obviously very good.

1027
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,000
Of course Xerxes.

1028
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:50,000
By the way look at Xerxes' heat map.

1029
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:52,000
Let's see.

1030
01:09:52,000 --> 01:09:55,000
Nowhere near the penalty box.

1031
01:09:55,000 --> 01:09:57,000
I think he entered the penalty box.

1032
01:09:57,000 --> 01:10:01,000
You could see that spot on the right hand side once.

1033
01:10:01,000 --> 01:10:02,000
Wow.

1034
01:10:02,000 --> 01:10:06,000
He's so he's always in on like around.

1035
01:10:06,000 --> 01:10:09,000
Then look at Doya and Salamacar's.

1036
01:10:09,000 --> 01:10:15,000
Salamacar's very far to the left hustling up and down that left hand side.

1037
01:10:15,000 --> 01:10:18,000
In Doya on the other hand.

1038
01:10:18,000 --> 01:10:19,000
Always in the box.

1039
01:10:19,000 --> 01:10:20,000
Always exactly.

1040
01:10:20,000 --> 01:10:21,000
That's cool.

1041
01:10:21,000 --> 01:10:25,000
So Joshua Xerxes was almost a decoy this game.

1042
01:10:25,000 --> 01:10:26,000
Yeah.

1043
01:10:26,000 --> 01:10:30,000
Getting the ball releasing it quickly and the whole idea was to plan to play Dan in Doya.

1044
01:10:30,000 --> 01:10:31,000
Yeah.

1045
01:10:31,000 --> 01:10:34,000
It's funny because he hasn't even scored this season yet.

1046
01:10:34,000 --> 01:10:35,000
Dan in Doya.

1047
01:10:35,000 --> 01:10:36,000
Crazy.

1048
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:40,000
I'm finding it's really funny that I just figured out today that his name is Dan.

1049
01:10:40,000 --> 01:10:41,000
It doesn't match right.

1050
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:42,000
No not at all.

1051
01:10:42,000 --> 01:10:43,000
Danny boy.

1052
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:46,000
But he had a fantastic game.

1053
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:48,000
His best game so far that I've seen.

1054
01:10:48,000 --> 01:10:49,000
He started off the season well.

1055
01:10:49,000 --> 01:10:51,000
He seemed to dip a bit but now he's back at it.

1056
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:52,000
Yeah.

1057
01:10:52,000 --> 01:10:54,000
Froyler man of the match in my opinion.

1058
01:10:54,000 --> 01:10:55,000
Yeah.

1059
01:10:55,000 --> 01:10:56,000
Same.

1060
01:10:56,000 --> 01:10:57,000
I agree.

1061
01:10:57,000 --> 01:11:06,000
And then Moro for his work rate around like he really, um, Froyler was really allowed to stay in that number six pocket and really be the metronome.

1062
01:11:06,000 --> 01:11:15,000
Whilst Moro was doing a lot of dirty work around the pitch winning the ball back and doing so on so forth and even grabbed himself a goal.

1063
01:11:15,000 --> 01:11:16,000
So that was very cool.

1064
01:11:16,000 --> 01:11:17,000
Yeah.

1065
01:11:17,000 --> 01:11:22,000
And of course Bologna are doing this without Sam Mauro or Solini and Carlson.

1066
01:11:22,000 --> 01:11:24,000
Super performance by them.

1067
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:27,000
They totally deserved top four and I wonder if they can keep this up once again.

1068
01:11:27,000 --> 01:11:28,000
They're playing once a week.

1069
01:11:28,000 --> 01:11:31,000
They've actually got quite a bit of depth.

1070
01:11:31,000 --> 01:11:34,000
You know, I mean, Froyler and Moro don't even start every game.

1071
01:11:34,000 --> 01:11:36,000
They've got the arbosher as well on the bench.

1072
01:11:36,000 --> 01:11:41,000
Like this is a super team, you know, for the, considering what we're used to seeing with Bologna.

1073
01:11:41,000 --> 01:11:44,000
So and Fabian and Fabian as well.

1074
01:11:44,000 --> 01:11:45,000
Yeah.

1075
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:48,000
Fabian who seems to have this goal scoring aura about them.

1076
01:11:48,000 --> 01:11:49,000
Yeah.

1077
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:54,000
But yeah, Bologna are in fourth with 28 points while Roma are down in eighth with 25 points.

1078
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,000
Michael Vara was one matchday.

1079
01:11:57,000 --> 01:11:59,000
Dusty Doa from fourth to eighth.

1080
01:11:59,000 --> 01:12:01,000
It's absolutely tight.

1081
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:02,000
Yeah.

1082
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:04,000
Kalyari was a very interesting one.

1083
01:12:04,000 --> 01:12:08,000
Napoli two Kalyari one at the Maradona.

1084
01:12:08,000 --> 01:12:11,000
Zielinski was out again for Napoli.

1085
01:12:11,000 --> 01:12:19,000
It's this weird in out shake it all about at the moment with Zielinski and Mazzari fielded Kajuste instead.

1086
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:22,000
Rui was back, but only fit for the bench.

1087
01:12:22,000 --> 01:12:25,000
So Natan once again started as the left back.

1088
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:33,000
And then he had up to the resilient 442 formation, which we all know run the area is a big fan of the 442 formation.

1089
01:12:33,000 --> 01:12:40,000
I guess this was aimed to challenge Napoli's attack and allow them to kind of compress and sit back.

1090
01:12:40,000 --> 01:12:42,000
Also Pavoletti and Petania started up front.

1091
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:44,000
So a lot of physicality over there.

1092
01:12:44,000 --> 01:12:50,000
And the woman but started the game on the bench, little trick up their sleeve over there.

1093
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:59,000
Rahmani's header hit the post in the first half, however Kalyari's resistance tested Napoli's defense with Nandes threatening and Meret making a crucial save.

1094
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:11,000
The second half witnessed some tactical adjustments as Kalyari shifted to a 3-5-2 formation, attempting to capitalize on Napoli's vulnerabilities and double down on the midfield battle.

1095
01:13:11,000 --> 01:13:19,000
Mazzari responded with impactful substitutions and reverting to a 4-2-3-1 formation to combat that.

1096
01:13:19,000 --> 01:13:30,000
The narrative changed and then when Rui entered the pitch for Natan providing this width and precise deliveries for Napoli, which they were really lacking.

1097
01:13:30,000 --> 01:13:34,000
Ozzerman's towering header broke the deadlock in the 69th minute.

1098
01:13:34,000 --> 01:13:48,000
However Kalyari responded swiftly as substitute Izita, a low-vombo made a decisive run down the left flank, delivering a ball into the 6th yard box to Pavoletti, who shrugged off the challenge from Juan Jesus and finished from close range.

1099
01:13:48,000 --> 01:13:53,000
The tactical adjustments and substitutions is what this game was all about.

1100
01:13:53,000 --> 01:14:09,000
Napoli restored their advantage with extraordinary work from Ozzerman who drew six players around him as he juggled with his chest and he, and his back towards goal, managed to turn and get the pass back to Quaratzkelia to fire in relatively undisturbed at the far post.

1101
01:14:09,000 --> 01:14:21,000
Poletano had a goal disallowed later on in the game and Napoli had to defend against Kalyari's late attempts with Dossin, missing a crucial chance towards the end, but Napoli did manage to get away with three points.

1102
01:14:21,000 --> 01:14:27,000
Very interesting how this game between Napoli and Kalyari ended up to be so f*****g such a chess match.

1103
01:14:27,000 --> 01:14:45,000
I definitely wasn't expecting that, but the only thing I could think about was how last week we said that kind of Mazzari has given Napoli defensive unity, but the attack is left up for improvisation.

1104
01:14:45,000 --> 01:14:49,000
That's second goal, that's total improvisation.

1105
01:14:49,000 --> 01:15:07,000
Absolutely, to a tee. I'm sure Mazzari was like alright then we're going to give the ball to Ozzerman, he's going to knock it up, he's going to juggle it past Dossin, he's going to lose control of it for a second, he's going to drag it back underneath Dossin's leg, square to Quaratzkelia, you know, no, no, that's total individual brilliance over there.

1106
01:15:07,000 --> 01:15:16,000
Yeah, no, absolutely, and there's no debate about that. I think the difference in this game was Victor Ozzerman.

1107
01:15:16,000 --> 01:15:22,000
Imagine this game, but with Diego Simeone up front, or with Raspidori up front.

1108
01:15:22,000 --> 01:15:24,000
Giovanni Simeone.

1109
01:15:24,000 --> 01:15:29,000
I always do that, of course, is Giovanni Simeone, of course.

1110
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:37,000
It wouldn't have been quite the same, and it would have probably been a draw, if not worse, to be honest with you.

1111
01:15:37,000 --> 01:15:52,000
Victor Ozzerman is one of the best strikers in European football, and I will die on this hill, man, when people start talking about the Hurricanes of this world, the Hollands of this world, like Ozzerman's right there with them, man.

1112
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:54,000
Ozzerman's a one man army.

1113
01:15:54,000 --> 01:16:04,000
He's up there, now he's back, because he was out injured, and he took him to three games to kind of find his goal scoring rhythm back.

1114
01:16:04,000 --> 01:16:10,000
Obviously, it was the Naples kind of tough fixture schedule.

1115
01:16:10,000 --> 01:16:21,000
Now, Ozzerman, well, he went off injured towards the end of the game, apparently, with an injured groin.

1116
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:26,000
Now, I don't know how serious that is.

1117
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:31,000
I don't think it's too serious, because I think you would have heard about it immediately.

1118
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:35,000
I think it's being cautious with Afqon coming up, it's that kind of thing.

1119
01:16:35,000 --> 01:16:37,000
Of course, Barcelona being drawn and all that.

1120
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,000
Barça being drawn, exactly.

1121
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:48,000
But he's back now, and he could kind of show us what we were missing during his lengthy injury.

1122
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:55,000
And I do think that given a full season, he's up there, top five in the world easily.

1123
01:16:55,000 --> 01:16:56,000
Absolutely.

1124
01:16:56,000 --> 01:17:01,000
And by far the best, not by far anymore actually, the best in the league.

1125
01:17:01,000 --> 01:17:07,000
Because Lautaro is definitely the season like he takes the cake.

1126
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:13,000
So yeah, Lautaro and Ozzerman are some of Serie A's finest, of course, and they deserve global attention.

1127
01:17:13,000 --> 01:17:16,000
You don't often have Lautaro out injured as well.

1128
01:17:16,000 --> 01:17:21,000
That's it, he's a Mr. Reliable man, and Lautaro is just the fire of all odds, man.

1129
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:26,000
He's not quite fast enough, but he'll outpace your man, not quite big enough, but he'll win the header.

1130
01:17:26,000 --> 01:17:27,000
Yeah.

1131
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:30,000
You know, he's totally, super player.

1132
01:17:30,000 --> 01:17:34,000
Do you know why the game was delayed for half an hour?

1133
01:17:34,000 --> 01:17:40,000
Because I had seen something about the wind, if I'm not mistaken, it was very windy,

1134
01:17:40,000 --> 01:17:44,000
and many of the fans hadn't made it into the stadium yet, for that reason, is that it?

1135
01:17:44,000 --> 01:17:51,000
Because the wind damaged the roof of the Diego Maradona stadium.

1136
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:59,000
So fans didn't make it in because for precautionary reasons, they weren't letting everyone in,

1137
01:17:59,000 --> 01:18:02,000
because there was a situation with the roof, but it was all cleared up.

1138
01:18:02,000 --> 01:18:06,000
I thought it was just the wind, and it's like, ah, the weather is shit, let's wait it out.

1139
01:18:06,000 --> 01:18:09,000
Let's give it 30 minutes, maybe it comes, no?

1140
01:18:09,000 --> 01:18:10,000
Yeah.

1141
01:18:10,000 --> 01:18:14,000
Yeah, this was a very good game.

1142
01:18:14,000 --> 01:18:22,000
To be honest, I am super impressed by Kalliari, I think with the spirit that they have, they should survive.

1143
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:28,000
It hurts not to see them take anything out of a game like this, where they were so good.

1144
01:18:28,000 --> 01:18:34,000
And I think that actually starting with Kajostan, Zilinski actually worked out in their favour,

1145
01:18:34,000 --> 01:18:39,000
because they have quite a physical team, quite a few aggressive players over there.

1146
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:48,000
So maybe starting with Kajostan, Angussa and the midfield along with Lobotka actually helped Napoli assert a little bit of dominance.

1147
01:18:48,000 --> 01:18:55,000
Yeah, I think so, and against a team like Kalliari, maybe it serves you to be a bit more physical than usual,

1148
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,000
because they are a very physical team to play against.

1149
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:03,000
Napoli are in 5th on 27 points, whereas Kalliari are in 16th on 13 points.

1150
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:08,000
It was weird seeing Pavoletti scoring before the 98th minute.

1151
01:19:08,000 --> 01:19:11,000
Very weird, not used to that.

1152
01:19:11,000 --> 01:19:16,000
Fiorentina, Bro played Hellas Verona, they beat them 1-0, but they struggled.

1153
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:19,000
Yes, they struggled so much.

1154
01:19:19,000 --> 01:19:25,000
And Verona were the much better team in the first half, and even in most of the second half as well.

1155
01:19:25,000 --> 01:19:26,000
How interesting, man.

1156
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:33,000
Beltran had a goal in the 78th minute that essentially won the game for Fiorentina.

1157
01:19:33,000 --> 01:19:44,000
And this goal came in a massive lapse of concentration, where all of Beltran's teammates were appealing for a penalty after the ball seemed to come off Verona defender's hand.

1158
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:51,000
And the Hellas Verona players, sorry, were obviously distracted by these calls, and were ball watching and looking around,

1159
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,000
and Beltran just came out of nowhere and rifled the ball.

1160
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:59,000
Off of, who was it? Amione into the back of the net, yes.

1161
01:19:59,000 --> 01:20:03,000
There would have been anyone, there were so many of them.

1162
01:20:03,000 --> 01:20:07,000
And the game started off so intensely, there was a penalty early on, you know,

1163
01:20:07,000 --> 01:20:17,000
Juric stepped up to take it, Terraciano saved it, and then Terraciano went on to make about, let me give you the exact number, 7 saves this game.

1164
01:20:17,000 --> 01:20:21,000
Terraciano made 7 saves, and all of them in credit, if you go watch the highlights,

1165
01:20:21,000 --> 01:20:30,000
Terraciano, Terraciano, 2.71 goals prevented according to the XG statistics.

1166
01:20:30,000 --> 01:20:31,000
Jesus Christ.

1167
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:37,000
He is not a fantastic ball-playing goalkeeper, however as a shot-stopper he's one of the finest in the league.

1168
01:20:37,000 --> 01:20:40,000
One of the most underrated keepers in the league.

1169
01:20:40,000 --> 01:20:44,000
And you know, Fiorentina keep buying goalkeepers, they replace him, and he always seems to play.

1170
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:45,000
Yeah, yeah.

1171
01:20:45,000 --> 01:20:48,000
And that's, there's obviously a reason for that.

1172
01:20:48,000 --> 01:20:53,000
One of what's interesting to see started as the 10, there was a bit of a systemic change for Fiorentina.

1173
01:20:53,000 --> 01:20:56,000
Well, not systemic, personnel change.

1174
01:20:56,000 --> 01:21:01,000
Luc Caranieri was at the back with Martinez-Quarta, Mandrago and Lopez were in the middle,

1175
01:21:01,000 --> 01:21:07,000
Beltran played as the 10, and Insola played up front, and he touched the ball 15 times.

1176
01:21:07,000 --> 01:21:09,000
Classic and ball.

1177
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:16,000
Yeah, for Helas Veron, that seems that they've changed their system to 4-2-3-1,

1178
01:21:16,000 --> 01:21:22,000
and they've decided to sacrifice Davidovic, and they're playing with Isaac Hien and Manjani.

1179
01:21:22,000 --> 01:21:28,000
Now Isaac Hien did not have the best game, and he hasn't been quite himself after coming back from injury.

1180
01:21:28,000 --> 01:21:32,000
He had 59% pass completion, he had 38 touches.

1181
01:21:32,000 --> 01:21:37,000
He only won one duel on the ground, however his aerial duels were a little bit better,

1182
01:21:37,000 --> 01:21:40,000
and he lost the ball 14 times, so he needs to get back in his groove.

1183
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:41,000
Isaac Hien.

1184
01:21:41,000 --> 01:21:42,000
Yeah.

1185
01:21:42,000 --> 01:21:49,000
Obviously, Andrei Duda and Faroni were still suspended and injured respectively,

1186
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:55,000
while Nico Gonzalez was out, Castervoli was out, Dodo and Martinelli were out for Fiorentina.

1187
01:21:55,000 --> 01:22:04,000
It was interesting to see first of all that Italiano risked leaving it so late to see that they were going to win,

1188
01:22:04,000 --> 01:22:06,000
because he didn't bring on Bonaventura this game.

1189
01:22:06,000 --> 01:22:09,000
Bonaventura was an option of the bench, and he just didn't bring him on.

1190
01:22:09,000 --> 01:22:13,000
And Fiorentina's goal came in the 78th minute, and he hadn't brought him on yet.

1191
01:22:13,000 --> 01:22:17,000
He relied on the likes of Beltran and then Zola to get his goal.

1192
01:22:17,000 --> 01:22:18,000
Now what do you make of that?

1193
01:22:18,000 --> 01:22:23,000
Do you think it's simply because Bonaventura is 34 years old and needs to be rested?

1194
01:22:23,000 --> 01:22:24,000
Perhaps.

1195
01:22:24,000 --> 01:22:32,000
If it was a choice not to bring on one of the best goalscoring with fielder in the league when you need a goal,

1196
01:22:32,000 --> 01:22:39,000
he either had a bunch of faith in Lucas Beltran or Bonaventura needed a rest.

1197
01:22:39,000 --> 01:22:47,000
Sometimes when it comes to Italiano, I struggle to put my finger on where his mind is at, where his head is at,

1198
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:53,000
when it comes to certain players, because he makes certain calls, and I'm going to be honest,

1199
01:22:53,000 --> 01:22:59,000
the reason I notice it the most is because I take very effective players of theirs on FantaCulture,

1200
01:22:59,000 --> 01:23:05,000
and sometimes I randomly see them not starting, and I'm like, what has Beragidan not to start?

1201
01:23:05,000 --> 01:23:11,000
They don't even have a great, this was last season, they don't even have a great replacement for him, why is he not there?

1202
01:23:11,000 --> 01:23:16,000
Why is he not starting this game? Why is Bonaventura benched in this game?

1203
01:23:16,000 --> 01:23:20,000
I think Bonaventura must have been injured because he wasn't even in the squad in the conference league game,

1204
01:23:20,000 --> 01:23:26,000
to be honest with you, so he must have come back and he left him on the bench so as not to risk him, I guess, that makes sense.

1205
01:23:26,000 --> 01:23:30,000
But your point stands, absolutely, and players do seem to disappear on their Italiano.

1206
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:37,000
Yeah, I find it interesting how Verona performed in this game, they performed well in this game.

1207
01:23:37,000 --> 01:23:42,000
Verona played very well, they've changed their system, because Italiano actually spoke about it.

1208
01:23:42,000 --> 01:23:46,000
I have his words here if you want to hear them.

1209
01:23:46,000 --> 01:23:50,000
He said, we struggled in the first half, where Taraciano had good times and bad times,

1210
01:23:50,000 --> 01:23:53,000
because Taraciano actually gave away the penalty, of course.

1211
01:23:53,000 --> 01:23:57,000
His touch was heavy on a back pause, they pressed him, I believe it was Folloruncho who pressed him,

1212
01:23:57,000 --> 01:24:01,000
and when he went to clear the ball away, he clipped Folloruncho, gave away the penalty, saved it, saved the rebound,

1213
01:24:01,000 --> 01:24:05,000
and then made another five saves as the game progressed.

1214
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:10,000
He said, he saved the penalty, the rebound, three to four decisive interventions,

1215
01:24:10,000 --> 01:24:18,000
and the second half, even if we weren't as usual, we found the goal, a match in which perhaps we deserved less,

1216
01:24:18,000 --> 01:24:23,000
but it has also happened other times in which we deserved more and we gained nothing.

1217
01:24:23,000 --> 01:24:25,000
Fair enough, philosophical.

1218
01:24:25,000 --> 01:24:31,000
We are on a path made up of many close commitments, the boys showed a little tiredness, but it's good to win,

1219
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:34,000
not concede a goal and climb the ranking.

1220
01:24:34,000 --> 01:24:40,000
The approach? This can be explained because Verona is a fearsome team, they have changed their system.

1221
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:44,000
With the ball above you, you have to adapt to their way of interpreting matches.

1222
01:24:44,000 --> 01:24:48,000
After the first half, we changed something, we no longer conceded in the match,

1223
01:24:48,000 --> 01:24:53,000
and we must take advantage of this, or we had to take advantage of this rather.

1224
01:24:53,000 --> 01:25:02,000
Losing today would have been terrible, given the standings, and our victory, this is actually spectacular, is what he said.

1225
01:25:02,000 --> 01:25:08,000
So yes, very interesting to see that people are taking note of Helas Verona's tactical changes,

1226
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:11,000
they've moved away from the three at the back and they are actually playing better,

1227
01:25:11,000 --> 01:25:14,000
and this was without a dude who has been pretty good this season.

1228
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:15,000
Yes, he's been very good.

1229
01:25:15,000 --> 01:25:19,000
Nice to see Saponara introducing himself slowly, slowly coming off the bench, come towards the end of the game.

1230
01:25:19,000 --> 01:25:21,000
I'm telling you, next game, Kaliari.

1231
01:25:22,000 --> 01:25:24,000
Maybe, maybe, maybe.

1232
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:26,000
He's gonna fucking chip it through.

1233
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:31,000
It's gonna happen, it's gonna happen this season. Where do you man, and when it happens, I'm gonna enjoy every second of it.

1234
01:25:31,000 --> 01:25:33,000
That's Saponara, Kaliari from out of the box.

1235
01:25:33,000 --> 01:25:34,000
Literally.

1236
01:25:34,000 --> 01:25:36,000
We can't not talk about this.

1237
01:25:36,000 --> 01:25:38,000
Davidovic came on.

1238
01:25:38,000 --> 01:25:39,000
Ah yes.

1239
01:25:39,000 --> 01:25:40,000
Did you see his ritual?

1240
01:25:40,000 --> 01:25:42,000
He did his face routine, no?

1241
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:44,000
He entered the pitch.

1242
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:46,000
Because Kial has got some aloe there on.

1243
01:25:46,000 --> 01:25:51,000
He skipped on extending his left leg and his right leg interchangeably, like he was injured.

1244
01:25:51,000 --> 01:25:57,000
And then he just rubbed his hands on the floor, on the turf, and rubbed it all over his face and head.

1245
01:25:57,000 --> 01:26:00,000
I don't know about you, but that would have given me instant acne.

1246
01:26:00,000 --> 01:26:02,000
That would have given me acne for sure.

1247
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:04,000
Do you think it's voodoo shit?

1248
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:12,000
Or do you think, like, a lot of footballers and a lot of athletes write about this.

1249
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:15,000
One of them being, was it Nadal.

1250
01:26:15,000 --> 01:26:18,000
Nadal, right? The great Nadal tennis player.

1251
01:26:18,000 --> 01:26:30,000
And before he serves, or before he, yeah, before he serves actually, he always does the exact, he touches his body in the exact, like, eight or nine ways.

1252
01:26:30,000 --> 01:26:37,000
So it's like first he touches his nose, then he touches his left shoulder and then right shoulder, and then he adjusts his t-shirt.

1253
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:42,000
And then he touches his neck, and then he fixes his shorts, then he touches his nose again, and he serves.

1254
01:26:42,000 --> 01:26:44,000
Human beings are so funny.

1255
01:26:44,000 --> 01:26:48,000
That is no way near the actual sequence of things that he does, just as an example.

1256
01:26:48,000 --> 01:26:54,000
But it's almost like a superstitious thing, like, once I did this, and I was really good.

1257
01:26:54,000 --> 01:26:56,000
So I just kept doing that forever.

1258
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:01,000
We've all done it, no? Wearing the same outfit after a crazy victory.

1259
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:08,000
Wearing the same outfit for my driving test, I remember, as when I had a good lesson, I was wearing those shoes.

1260
01:27:08,000 --> 01:27:12,000
Lucky pen for your exam, no? People are so funny, like, the shit doesn't matter.

1261
01:27:12,000 --> 01:27:15,000
Lucky underwear for a night out. Come on!

1262
01:27:15,000 --> 01:27:22,000
Like, you see so many professional athletes and they're superstitious, and you might think to yourself, maybe that's why I'm not a professional athlete,

1263
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:26,000
but I've never taken notice of the consequences in my life, and I need to be more superstitious.

1264
01:27:26,000 --> 01:27:31,000
Exactly. Exactly. It has nothing to do with genetics and mindset. Everything to do with the clothes.

1265
01:27:31,000 --> 01:27:33,000
I was absolutely dreadful.

1266
01:27:33,000 --> 01:27:35,000
You weren't dreadful.

1267
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:38,000
I was such a passer, Jekyll. Such a passer.

1268
01:27:38,000 --> 01:27:41,000
Such a passer because I couldn't do anything on the board.

1269
01:27:41,000 --> 01:27:43,000
Get rid of it, the second you touched me.

1270
01:27:43,000 --> 01:27:46,000
I was like, wow, man, this guy is so selfless.

1271
01:27:46,000 --> 01:27:48,000
Hold on to it, I'm going to lose it.

1272
01:27:48,000 --> 01:27:53,000
Fiorentina are in sixth with 27 points.

1273
01:27:53,000 --> 01:27:57,000
They're actually doing very well this year, and they're in contention for that Champions League spot.

1274
01:27:57,000 --> 01:28:00,000
Maybe they can get something more than the Conference League, man.

1275
01:28:00,000 --> 01:28:04,000
Hellas Verón, on the other hand, still struggling, of course, despite their positive performance.

1276
01:28:04,000 --> 01:28:07,000
They're down in 19th with 11 points.

1277
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:09,000
You're seeing me licking my lips, bro.

1278
01:28:09,000 --> 01:28:10,000
What's next?

1279
01:28:10,000 --> 01:28:12,000
Because we're about to cover a Monday night game, baby.

1280
01:28:12,000 --> 01:28:15,000
Atalanta 4, Salernita 1.

1281
01:28:15,000 --> 01:28:20,000
Now, the first half unfolded with Salernita are taking an unexpected lead in the 10th minute,

1282
01:28:20,000 --> 01:28:27,000
as Pirola capitalised on a lapse in Atalanta's defence, heading in a free kick from Condreva.

1283
01:28:27,000 --> 01:28:30,000
Now, you could call it a lapse in Atalanta's defence,

1284
01:28:30,000 --> 01:28:34,000
but you could also call it a set-piece routine where you're being marked by the Rhone.

1285
01:28:34,000 --> 01:28:40,000
Fantastic player, but he is filling the role as a centre-back right now.

1286
01:28:40,000 --> 01:28:48,000
And, yeah, maybe tactical, zonal, slash man-marking isn't his strong suit,

1287
01:28:48,000 --> 01:28:53,000
and Pirola had absolutely no problem heading that in great header by him.

1288
01:28:53,000 --> 01:28:56,000
The dynamics of the game shifted dramatically in the second half.

1289
01:28:56,000 --> 01:29:01,000
Within two minutes, Luis Muriel levelled the score with a powerful first-time half-volley

1290
01:29:01,000 --> 01:29:04,000
into the top corner from outside of the box following a corner.

1291
01:29:04,000 --> 01:29:09,000
He struck it with the outside of his boot to showcase great technique and his second goal in two games.

1292
01:29:09,000 --> 01:29:14,000
If you watch that again, you can see Benoit Costil, the goalkeeper, looks like Jirou at Salernitano,

1293
01:29:14,000 --> 01:29:19,000
looking at the ball at the back of the net, looking down at his feet,

1294
01:29:19,000 --> 01:29:21,000
and then looking at the other side, kind of like saying,

1295
01:29:21,000 --> 01:29:23,000
how am I so far away from that?

1296
01:29:23,000 --> 01:29:28,000
It's my positioning that poor like, but Muriel smacked it so cleanly

1297
01:29:28,000 --> 01:29:30,000
that he didn't even give him time to adjust himself.

1298
01:29:30,000 --> 01:29:36,000
Oh my God, can we snip it, that goal, from POV Muriel,

1299
01:29:36,000 --> 01:29:39,000
almost like with the goal post in front of him.

1300
01:29:39,000 --> 01:29:41,000
Slow motion.

1301
01:29:41,000 --> 01:29:47,000
Where's he on my mama, me vanana, me zanenini.

1302
01:29:47,000 --> 01:29:48,000
That's my friend.

1303
01:29:48,000 --> 01:29:49,000
That's your friend, right?

1304
01:29:49,000 --> 01:29:51,000
That one.

1305
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:53,000
Sure, bro. Do it.

1306
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:55,000
Okay.

1307
01:29:55,000 --> 01:29:59,000
The resurgence, let's call it a resurgence, continued as Pasadich,

1308
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:03,000
position now higher up the pitch in the second half, added another goal.

1309
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:05,000
And against me on fantasy foot?

1310
01:30:05,000 --> 01:30:10,000
And against you on fantasy football, tucked away a precise finish into the far corner.

1311
01:30:10,000 --> 01:30:12,000
It was good work by Muriel over here.

1312
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:19,000
Once again, Karnisekki denied Ikwumezi with a great 1v1 stop in the 72nd minute,

1313
01:30:19,000 --> 01:30:23,000
and Dia hit the post just two minutes later in a great opportunity.

1314
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:29,000
Decay Telaare extended at Alanta's lead to 3-1 with a well-placed shot into the far post

1315
01:30:29,000 --> 01:30:33,000
after Giorgio Scalvini won the ball off Norbert Giomber,

1316
01:30:33,000 --> 01:30:37,000
and when he does that thing, you know, he just presses so high up the fucking pitch,

1317
01:30:37,000 --> 01:30:42,000
and this possesses someone, and they just lays it off, and wow, amazing.

1318
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:43,000
Scalvini, man, super player.

1319
01:30:43,000 --> 01:30:44,000
Fucking Scalvini.

1320
01:30:44,000 --> 01:30:47,000
What are we going to do about this guy?

1321
01:30:47,000 --> 01:30:49,000
Scalvini, no idea.

1322
01:30:49,000 --> 01:30:50,000
He's the future, man.

1323
01:30:50,000 --> 01:30:54,000
And also, I have vintage CDK this game, if that's even a thing.

1324
01:30:54,000 --> 01:30:59,000
I was wondering what did he miss a setter like, if you had to talk about vintage CDK.

1325
01:30:59,000 --> 01:31:04,000
I was wondering about the CDK that caught everyone's eye, but the day that was making Champions League team of the weeks,

1326
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:06,000
man, this was a very good performance by him.

1327
01:31:06,000 --> 01:31:10,000
The finish was clean, and then that second goal, man, which I'm sure you're about to describe,

1328
01:31:10,000 --> 01:31:13,000
if that ball was genius.

1329
01:31:13,000 --> 01:31:21,000
For the fourth goal, excellent ball by CDK to Alexei Morantchuk, who sealed the victory with a fourth goal.

1330
01:31:21,000 --> 01:31:27,000
The goalkeeper got a significant touch to it, but clearly not enough.

1331
01:31:27,000 --> 01:31:29,000
Great, great pass.

1332
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:30,000
Perfectly waited.

1333
01:31:30,000 --> 01:31:33,000
The ball stopped exactly where it needed to stop.

1334
01:31:33,000 --> 01:31:35,000
He saw a gap, and he played it there.

1335
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:39,000
There wasn't exactly a player in that position, but he saw the gap, he played it there,

1336
01:31:39,000 --> 01:31:45,000
and trusting that his teammate is going to make that run.

1337
01:31:45,000 --> 01:31:46,000
I mean, where to start?

1338
01:31:46,000 --> 01:31:50,000
I think Salernetana, obviously, starting the game off well.

1339
01:31:50,000 --> 01:31:56,000
They had good intensity in the first half, and they were really bringing the game to Atalanta.

1340
01:31:56,000 --> 01:32:02,000
But look, I mean, Atalanta, Atalanta, and Salernetana at the end of the day,

1341
01:32:02,000 --> 01:32:13,000
I think their ideas are there, I think their philosophy is there, and you are starting to see their identity on their Pippo and Zaghi,

1342
01:32:13,000 --> 01:32:16,000
but when it comes to execution, bro, they are behind.

1343
01:32:16,000 --> 01:32:18,000
They're behind the play-like.

1344
01:32:18,000 --> 01:32:28,000
I like the way that Zaghi set up this team, and I like the approach, but the in-game management left a lot to be desired for me.

1345
01:32:28,000 --> 01:32:32,000
I can't understand, for example, why he would remove Chou now.

1346
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:34,000
It sounds like a very good game.

1347
01:32:34,000 --> 01:32:40,000
I can't understand why he would remove Danilo Lusci instead of Matsuki, for example.

1348
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:42,000
Matsuki has been...

1349
01:32:42,000 --> 01:32:50,000
I don't think he's been terrible, but he loses his head often, and he often makes many mistakes Matsuki.

1350
01:32:50,000 --> 01:32:55,000
And you look at every game, you look at the balls lost, the balls lost stats, it's always unbelievable.

1351
01:32:55,000 --> 01:32:59,000
Possession lost this game, Matsuki 23 times.

1352
01:32:59,000 --> 01:33:01,000
It's a lot, you know?

1353
01:33:01,000 --> 01:33:05,000
I don't know, and to be honest, I don't know if there was anything he could have done to be honest,

1354
01:33:05,000 --> 01:33:11,000
to survive this Atalanta on-slaught, because Atalanta are a much deeper squad than...

1355
01:33:11,000 --> 01:33:13,000
Yeah, and super unpredictable.

1356
01:33:13,000 --> 01:33:20,000
And Gasprini set the head record against Zaghi's Flores as well, so it doesn't help at all.

1357
01:33:20,000 --> 01:33:23,000
You know how I would characterize this game?

1358
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:29,000
Atalanta went into the second half, one goal down, so they hit offensive.

1359
01:33:29,000 --> 01:33:36,000
It's like when you change the mentality to offensive, you know, Masa did choose higher up the pitch.

1360
01:33:36,000 --> 01:33:44,000
I enjoyed that, because we got to see him in positions where he had more liberty to shift wide,

1361
01:33:44,000 --> 01:33:51,000
and his movement wasn't as tactical and black on white the way that Gasprini would want it.

1362
01:33:51,000 --> 01:33:53,000
But he was in that free role, you know?

1363
01:33:53,000 --> 01:34:01,000
He was entering the pocket, straying wide, and I just enjoyed seeing Pasalic play football in this match.

1364
01:34:01,000 --> 01:34:04,000
I think we'll have to talk about standout players.

1365
01:34:04,000 --> 01:34:09,000
I think there are two that come to mind, and it's Decay, Telaure and Muriel in this game.

1366
01:34:09,000 --> 01:34:17,000
Not to mention Scalvini, because I'm sure that I've fucking exhausted everyone speaking about Scalvini week in, week out.

1367
01:34:17,000 --> 01:34:23,000
Yeah, absolutely, bro. I agree. I agree totally. I'm always impressed by Coop Miners as well, very intelligent player.

1368
01:34:23,000 --> 01:34:26,000
But yeah, this is Muriel's time, and I'm happy he's had the resurgence,

1369
01:34:26,000 --> 01:34:29,000
because I was worried that we're never going to see him have a good game again in Italy.

1370
01:34:29,000 --> 01:34:35,000
So nice to see that he's kind of rediscovered his mini R9 self.

1371
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:38,000
Yeah, Atalanta are not in a bad spot.

1372
01:34:38,000 --> 01:34:45,000
They're seventh on 26 points. They're just two points behind Bologna in fourth, bro.

1373
01:34:45,000 --> 01:34:52,000
So they really are closing in over there, especially with their most recent form showing through.

1374
01:34:52,000 --> 01:34:57,000
Salernitan on the other hand in 20th, last for those that don't know.

1375
01:34:57,000 --> 01:35:01,000
On eight points, they're three points behind Verona.

1376
01:35:01,000 --> 01:35:06,000
There was also Lecce Frosinone, which I was sure was going to end in a draw,

1377
01:35:06,000 --> 01:35:12,000
but it actually ended in a Lecce victory, 2-1 for the, what do you call them?

1378
01:35:12,000 --> 01:35:14,000
Giallo Rossi? What are they?

1379
01:35:14,000 --> 01:35:15,000
Giallo...

1380
01:35:15,000 --> 01:35:18,000
I'm sure they must go by Giallo Rossi, right?

1381
01:35:18,000 --> 01:35:23,000
Giallo Rossi, right? Giallo Rossi, yes. Red and yellow. Yellow and red rather.

1382
01:35:23,000 --> 01:35:28,000
Yes, the game was actually quite an even battle.

1383
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:35,000
Lecce were missing Alcvist and Juan Gonzalez through an injury and a suspension respectively,

1384
01:35:35,000 --> 01:35:38,000
and they started off with Strefetz out on the right,

1385
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:43,000
band on the left and Piccoli up front, and Ramadani was in the middle along with Udin and Blin.

1386
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:45,000
Defense was the same as usual.

1387
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:51,000
For Rossi, it was Cairo Giorgi up front who got his first Serie A goal,

1388
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:55,000
despite being there as a striker for two years.

1389
01:35:55,000 --> 01:36:01,000
Mathias Zule was on the right and Arjon Ibrahimovic was on the left.

1390
01:36:01,000 --> 01:36:05,000
They were also missing the likes of Marquitza, Matsitelli, Kalaj and Reiner,

1391
01:36:05,000 --> 01:36:08,000
who are very important players for them.

1392
01:36:08,000 --> 01:36:11,000
May the Lord bless you and all your sins, bro.

1393
01:36:11,000 --> 01:36:13,000
Thank you so much.

1394
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:18,000
It all started with a massive mistake by Turati playing the ball straight to La Megbanda

1395
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:24,000
in the 11th minute, who found Roberto Piccoli, who scored at the near post of Turati,

1396
01:36:24,000 --> 01:36:28,000
who made essentially another mistake and should have probably stopped that.

1397
01:36:28,000 --> 01:36:32,000
And that was 1-0 in the 11th minute.

1398
01:36:32,000 --> 01:36:36,000
Shortly after that, Ayano went off injured and was replaced by Montereyzi for Frasinone,

1399
01:36:36,000 --> 01:36:41,000
and Cairo Giorgi eventually converted the penalty in the 33rd minute to equalize.

1400
01:36:41,000 --> 01:36:47,000
In the second half, it was a Ramadani goal in the 89th minute from a distance,

1401
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:53,000
thanks to another Turati mistake that saw Letra getting the victory over here.

1402
01:36:53,000 --> 01:36:55,000
Turati, man.

1403
01:36:55,000 --> 01:36:57,000
Not his best of performances.

1404
01:36:57,000 --> 01:37:02,000
I think the first was a clear mistake, especially considering that he gave the ball away

1405
01:37:02,000 --> 01:37:04,000
and then got beaten at his near post.

1406
01:37:04,000 --> 01:37:07,000
Second one, he got beaten at his near post again.

1407
01:37:07,000 --> 01:37:11,000
Sure, it was a good strike from distance, and maybe the ball took a bit of a bubble

1408
01:37:11,000 --> 01:37:15,000
and his fucking vision was slightly impeded.

1409
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:17,000
But that should never be going in.

1410
01:37:17,000 --> 01:37:23,000
Now he's a young goalkeeper of 22 years old.

1411
01:37:23,000 --> 01:37:26,000
He has had some great performances.

1412
01:37:26,000 --> 01:37:29,000
He even had a couple of good moments in this game.

1413
01:37:29,000 --> 01:37:35,000
So I don't want to kind of just pin it all on him,

1414
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:39,000
although he is responsible for the goals conceded in this match.

1415
01:37:39,000 --> 01:37:45,000
I don't want to single him out as a bad goalkeeper or anything of the sort.

1416
01:37:45,000 --> 01:37:48,000
This comes with deploying a young goalkeeper.

1417
01:37:48,000 --> 01:37:49,000
This is bound to happen.

1418
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:55,000
Milan experienced this with Don Aruma, for example, an absolute freak of nature.

1419
01:37:55,000 --> 01:37:58,000
He was a brilliant goalkeeper at the age of 16 years old.

1420
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:00,000
He would still make the occasional mistake.

1421
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:02,000
Turati is 22, as you said.

1422
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:07,000
22 in the goalkeeping years is like he's essentially a 15-year-old, 16-year-old.

1423
01:38:07,000 --> 01:38:10,000
So these mistakes are bound to happen.

1424
01:38:10,000 --> 01:38:13,000
It's just a shame because of course the margins are very fine

1425
01:38:13,000 --> 01:38:16,000
and you never know from these teams which one's going to end up going down.

1426
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:19,000
I do think that in January they, for us to know,

1427
01:38:19,000 --> 01:38:25,000
need a few experienced players to come in and to solidify the team a little bit.

1428
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:29,000
They are quite good at getting ahead.

1429
01:38:29,000 --> 01:38:31,000
However, when things aren't going their way,

1430
01:38:31,000 --> 01:38:36,000
they often look around at each other and no one really steps up to lead them.

1431
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:37,000
Exactly.

1432
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:41,000
I was particularly impressed by two players of Rossinone in this game.

1433
01:38:41,000 --> 01:38:43,000
First one is Breccianini, the former Milan man.

1434
01:38:43,000 --> 01:38:45,000
Absolutely brilliant and midfield over there.

1435
01:38:45,000 --> 01:38:50,000
A powerhouse, often gliding his way out of tight spaces, out of challenges.

1436
01:38:50,000 --> 01:38:52,000
He was amazing there.

1437
01:38:52,000 --> 01:38:56,000
And Arion Ibrahimovic, how is this guy 17 years old?

1438
01:38:56,000 --> 01:39:01,000
Because he plays with such power and fearlessness.

1439
01:39:01,000 --> 01:39:07,000
He looks wise beyond his years as well in his movement and the balls he plays.

1440
01:39:07,000 --> 01:39:12,000
A phenomenal player and it's nice to see that the future generations are also going to be watching.

1441
01:39:12,000 --> 01:39:15,000
And Ibrahimovic, because this guy is going to go all the way to the top.

1442
01:39:15,000 --> 01:39:20,000
Yeah, I think so man. It's crazy. I was so surprised. He's 18.

1443
01:39:20,000 --> 01:39:22,000
It was just his birthday.

1444
01:39:22,000 --> 01:39:25,000
Really? Last year? It was 17.

1445
01:39:25,000 --> 01:39:28,000
Yeah, on the 11th of December it was his birthday.

1446
01:39:28,000 --> 01:39:31,000
8 days ago. He can drink now.

1447
01:39:31,000 --> 01:39:34,000
He can have a drink now, Arion Ibrahimovic.

1448
01:39:34,000 --> 01:39:38,000
Yeah man, he's so technically gifted.

1449
01:39:38,000 --> 01:39:46,000
He's so driven, you could tell that obviously he comes from somewhere and that is Squala, Bayern Munich.

1450
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:49,000
That he comes from.

1451
01:39:49,000 --> 01:39:55,000
So yeah, a great fit for a team that is like you said highly reliant on these young players.

1452
01:39:55,000 --> 01:40:03,000
And I think, come with January, they're going to need a leader in this pitch because Bering Tseya,

1453
01:40:03,000 --> 01:40:11,000
Kajor George, Ibrahimovic, Zulle, Okoli, you know these are a bunch of young players.

1454
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:13,000
Who are all on loan.

1455
01:40:13,000 --> 01:40:16,000
And they're making it work and they're playing fantastic football.

1456
01:40:16,000 --> 01:40:24,000
But I call the signing, they also have Rainier obviously from Röndberg's school, Areal Madrid.

1457
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:33,000
But they have to make the, I had the term for this, the ring consignings.

1458
01:40:33,000 --> 01:40:40,000
They need to bring on some players with some serious area experience.

1459
01:40:40,000 --> 01:40:43,000
They don't need to be the most decorated players in the world.

1460
01:40:43,000 --> 01:40:45,000
Stabilizers.

1461
01:40:45,000 --> 01:40:47,000
Absolutely, absolutely.

1462
01:40:47,000 --> 01:40:50,000
So also I'm fair to mention that Banda hit the post twice.

1463
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:55,000
One of them was a curler from one of the books, an amazing goal.

1464
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:57,000
Absolutely his day today.

1465
01:40:57,000 --> 01:41:01,000
Well, not his day technically because he didn't score but he was on form and he was inspired.

1466
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:02,000
Absolutely inspired.

1467
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:06,000
Do you think Pikkoly is doing enough to keep Kristovic out of the team?

1468
01:41:06,000 --> 01:41:08,000
That's another thing I wanted to talk about.

1469
01:41:08,000 --> 01:41:10,000
No.

1470
01:41:10,000 --> 01:41:12,000
He don't think he's been doing enough Pikkoly.

1471
01:41:12,000 --> 01:41:16,000
He's scoring, ok, and that's probably enough in itself.

1472
01:41:16,000 --> 01:41:20,000
But there were so many opportunities where I would have liked to see Kristovic in there instead of him

1473
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:26,000
because I think Kristovic attacks the ball with so much more might and lethality than Pikkoly does.

1474
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:30,000
I feel like he squandered quite a few opportunities Pikkoly in this game despite his goal.

1475
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:39,000
I mean, I like Pikkoly and I like the way Lecce played with Pikkoly in the pitch.

1476
01:41:39,000 --> 01:41:45,000
But lest we forget the performances that Kristovic was putting in and the goals that he was getting.

1477
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:47,000
How good Kristovic is outside the area as well?

1478
01:41:47,000 --> 01:41:52,000
I think once again there's some healthy competition going on over there.

1479
01:41:52,000 --> 01:41:57,000
And I'm not mad about Kristovic being benched for Pikkoly to get some playing time over there.

1480
01:41:57,000 --> 01:41:58,000
No, the rotation is healthy.

1481
01:41:58,000 --> 01:42:02,000
I mean, now when we see Kristovic, he's going to have a point to prove and he had a point to prove

1482
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:04,000
at the start of the season and he scored about four goals.

1483
01:42:04,000 --> 01:42:06,000
So, yeah, that's always the case.

1484
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:13,000
Lecce, let you have a player on the bench that I had on your fantasy.

1485
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:23,000
No, on FM, football manager, Giacomo Faticanti, a ball-winning midfielder, baby, 19 years old.

1486
01:42:23,000 --> 01:42:32,000
I obviously, before I signed him, I looked him up and he seems like a promising little talent.

1487
01:42:32,000 --> 01:42:37,000
Faticanti, just 19 years old, like I said, he wins the ball back.

1488
01:42:37,000 --> 01:42:41,000
You know, it'll be interesting to see him come and go.

1489
01:42:41,000 --> 01:42:44,000
I'm excited, obviously, slightly biased.

1490
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:46,000
I've never even heard of this guy.

1491
01:42:46,000 --> 01:42:48,000
Faticanti, I've never heard of Faticanti.

1492
01:42:48,000 --> 01:42:52,000
I mean, it rings a bell, but I don't think I've ever seen him play.

1493
01:42:52,000 --> 01:42:55,000
In fact, in his senior career, he hasn't featured.

1494
01:42:55,000 --> 01:42:56,000
No, no, no, he hasn't.

1495
01:42:56,000 --> 01:43:01,000
But he has raw manletcha on his CV and for Sonona, he's the system.

1496
01:43:01,000 --> 01:43:02,000
There you go.

1497
01:43:02,000 --> 01:43:03,000
I'm excited to see him.

1498
01:43:03,000 --> 01:43:05,000
This is more of a, this isn't something for the viewers.

1499
01:43:05,000 --> 01:43:10,000
This is more something I'm telling you, like, I got this guy out of the FM.

1500
01:43:10,000 --> 01:43:13,000
Faticanti, dude, he looks like a kid.

1501
01:43:13,000 --> 01:43:15,000
He is pretty much, bro.

1502
01:43:15,000 --> 01:43:16,000
Okay, we'll see.

1503
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:18,000
And two years time, we will come back to this.

1504
01:43:18,000 --> 01:43:19,000
What was that episode?

1505
01:43:19,000 --> 01:43:20,000
We're talking about.

1506
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:21,000
That's a problem, by the way.

1507
01:43:21,000 --> 01:43:27,000
We often say things and like we mentioned a player and he'll have a really good game.

1508
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:29,000
And I'd want to revisit when we spoke about it.

1509
01:43:29,000 --> 01:43:30,000
You can never find it.

1510
01:43:30,000 --> 01:43:31,000
How the hell are you meant to find it?

1511
01:43:31,000 --> 01:43:32,000
There's hundreds of them.

1512
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:33,000
Yeah, exactly.

1513
01:43:33,000 --> 01:43:45,000
But yes, let's say are currently in 12th sitting comfortably mid table over there with 20 points while frozen on a ride below them in 13th with 19 points.

1514
01:43:45,000 --> 01:43:49,000
This was a massive game winner with overtaken the other one.

1515
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:50,000
Yes.

1516
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:53,000
And kudos to let's say for getting the victory over there.

1517
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:57,000
Now there's Odinez as a swallow that ended two, two.

1518
01:43:57,000 --> 01:44:06,000
And I was not expecting a high scoring game between these two teams because this game does typically tend to be quite a snooze fest.

1519
01:44:06,000 --> 01:44:07,000
It always ends in a draw though.

1520
01:44:07,000 --> 01:44:09,000
That's an assistant thing.

1521
01:44:09,000 --> 01:44:10,000
Yeah.

1522
01:44:10,000 --> 01:44:13,000
Two teams, hopefully short on confidence to say the least.

1523
01:44:13,000 --> 01:44:16,000
Odinez had just two points from the last four games.

1524
01:44:16,000 --> 01:44:22,000
Sa Swallow lost two on the trot, including a two on the feet to Kalyari where they were one up in the 93rd minute.

1525
01:44:22,000 --> 01:44:28,000
Odinez is still struggling with injuries naturally.

1526
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:31,000
Bishol, Brenner, Davis, Delaféu, Ebosse and Semedo out along with the suspended Ferreira.

1527
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:37,000
Atalanta had just sold the facing a ban off the Zed card in his last game with Alvarez, Objang and Viti out injured.

1528
01:44:37,000 --> 01:44:41,000
Berardi and Bologa returned from suspension.

1529
01:44:41,000 --> 01:44:46,000
Now Odinez initially appeared in control taking a one-nil lead through a Luka header.

1530
01:44:46,000 --> 01:44:54,000
Ferreira did brilliantly to torment Bologa down the left with some super silky sexy play before crossing it to Luka who headed home.

1531
01:44:54,000 --> 01:45:09,000
Now Luka was tightly marked by Ferrari but he really didn't have to jump or try to lose his man to score because Ferrari literally just had his arms around him and that's all.

1532
01:45:09,000 --> 01:45:10,000
Yeah, he did nothing.

1533
01:45:10,000 --> 01:45:17,000
That's all. You know the way a woman has her arms around a man's shoulders when she's kissing him?

1534
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:18,000
No idea.

1535
01:45:23,000 --> 01:45:31,000
But that's essentially what he was doing and then when the ball went to Luka, Luka literally just like moved his head and got the goal.

1536
01:45:31,000 --> 01:45:35,000
You think that Ferrari would make more of an effort to get to the ball over there.

1537
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:38,000
Your opponent is the tallest striker in the league, jump.

1538
01:45:38,000 --> 01:45:43,000
He's there, he's frisking the man, he's getting down and dirty with him.

1539
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:45,000
Ferrari's time in Serie A is up.

1540
01:45:45,000 --> 01:45:46,000
You think?

1541
01:45:46,000 --> 01:45:51,000
Yes, he's been below par for a while now in my opinion.

1542
01:45:51,000 --> 01:45:52,000
Fair enough.

1543
01:45:52,000 --> 01:45:55,000
Maybe with newly promoted teams he'd be fine.

1544
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:58,000
Kirikas had dipped off the Saasvolo but that's the trajectory he's on.

1545
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:02,000
He's not young, it's bound to happen to anyone.

1546
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:08,000
I mean I just can't wait for Saasvolo to bring a defender on the ball, I'm just like, I fucking like this guy, he's good.

1547
01:46:08,000 --> 01:46:11,000
They haven't had that ever.

1548
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:19,000
The provider turned score in the 55th minute as Pereira extended to Dineses' lead, finishing well after a scuffed Henrique clearance.

1549
01:46:19,000 --> 01:46:23,000
I'm gonna ask the listeners because I asked you and you weren't sure either.

1550
01:46:23,000 --> 01:46:25,000
Was Henrique always the number 7?

1551
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:26,000
Question mark?

1552
01:46:26,000 --> 01:46:28,000
I really don't know.

1553
01:46:28,000 --> 01:46:37,000
Now the turning point occurred when Udineses Pajero earned himself a red card after seemingly stomping Erlich Husliden to tackle the Argentine.

1554
01:46:37,000 --> 01:46:49,000
First looking at this I thought it was a bit harsh because his foot literally just stepped or quite high up, obviously Erlich's leg, but Erlich went sliding in.

1555
01:46:49,000 --> 01:46:56,000
That's just something that's gonna happen in football but it was dangerous, his studs were high up and that's what happens.

1556
01:46:56,000 --> 01:46:58,000
It wasn't as bad as Malinovsky's?

1557
01:46:58,000 --> 01:47:02,000
No, Malinovsky could have killed him.

1558
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:13,000
Saasvolo seized the opportunity with Berardi converting a penalty following Ebocelle Sfoulon, Pena Monti in the 75th minute where he attempted to clear the ball but made contact with just the man.

1559
01:47:13,000 --> 01:47:22,000
Saasvolo's comeback gained momentum and they nearly equalized with Ammoulat, Thierry Heder hitting the crossbar in the 81st and Ferrari's Heder hitting the post in the 84th.

1560
01:47:22,000 --> 01:47:35,000
Saasvolo then awarded another penalty for Cabacel Sfoulon, Molattier in the 88th minute where he tripped the Italian, Berardi stepped up once again and once again since Sylvester the wrong way securing a 2-2 draw.

1561
01:47:35,000 --> 01:47:51,000
What did you make of that? I mean boxing match, no, and the classic tale of genuinely just being in front and then getting a red card and suddenly being on the back foot and you allow the other team to get back into it.

1562
01:47:51,000 --> 01:48:04,000
I thought when it comes to chances created, I thought that Saasvolo could have, I thought Udinezor should have scored perhaps less and Saasvolo should have scored perhaps more.

1563
01:48:04,000 --> 01:48:18,000
I mean you look at the expected goals, XG naturally Udinez is 0.81, Saasvolo 3.03, you're not making a crazy statement.

1564
01:48:18,000 --> 01:48:27,000
But that's probably, penalties do bump up XG. But yeah, absolutely. Of course a very... How about this though, sorry.

1565
01:48:27,000 --> 01:48:35,000
21 total shots for Saasvolo, 9 for Udinezor, same amount of shots on target, 7 each. Yeah, that's crazy.

1566
01:48:35,000 --> 01:48:42,000
But that obviously happens when your 2 goals down, you're gonna have it and you're gonna shoot.

1567
01:48:42,000 --> 01:48:53,000
Yeah, my thought at draw was well deserved to be honest. It's a shame to see Udinezor slipping up in this situation, I thought they were gonna get their second victory of the season.

1568
01:48:53,000 --> 01:49:02,000
But it's also nice to see Udinezor swallowing, not fucking sinking into the abyss man, because they do need a bit of confidence boost.

1569
01:49:02,000 --> 01:49:10,000
And it's always nice to see Dominic Oberari scoring as well. And to be honest, I'm happy with this because Roberto Pereira and Lukas scored as well, we're both fun players to watch.

1570
01:49:10,000 --> 01:49:19,000
An entertaining game overall. I think Pereira had very good impact in this game, not really goal and assist. It's good to see him back in that form.

1571
01:49:19,000 --> 01:49:29,000
Obviously remember Udinezor let him go for nothing last season, so it's good to see him having that confidence, even seeing him celebrate with the fans in the way he did was very nice.

1572
01:49:29,000 --> 01:49:34,000
I think it was Udinezor begging him to stay and him trying to leave and then realizing no one wanted him so he went back.

1573
01:49:34,000 --> 01:49:44,000
Also, I googled the number 7 and I smacked my head when I saw it and you probably smacked yours as well.

1574
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:54,000
The last number 7 for Sasvolo was Brian O'Day, that's not why you're gonna smack your head. The one before that was Jeremy Bogot of course.

1575
01:49:54,000 --> 01:50:08,000
And while I'm here bro, the number 9 for Sasvolo, remember Flockari, Caputo was the number 9 for them, Falscinelli, Joric was the number 9.

1576
01:50:08,000 --> 01:50:10,000
Skamaka where the 9?

1577
01:50:10,000 --> 01:50:16,000
Skamaka didn't where the 9, Falscinelli scored against Osdia.

1578
01:50:16,000 --> 01:50:30,000
Memories, memories. Two very fucking clubs besides defensive Libro, the battle's full of defensive clusterfuck after defensive clusterfuck.

1579
01:50:30,000 --> 01:50:41,000
I mean the red card, the two penalties being given away, one of them quite comical where he tried to clear the ball and he ended up taking out the man.

1580
01:50:41,000 --> 01:50:47,000
The fucking Ferrari, Frisk and Glucca in the box instead of trying to get to the ball.

1581
01:50:47,000 --> 01:50:51,000
It's comical right? Low quality, it was there at the next end.

1582
01:50:51,000 --> 01:50:52,000
Yes.

1583
01:50:52,000 --> 01:50:56,000
The towards Vead have his teeth back, I didn't pay attention.

1584
01:50:56,000 --> 01:50:57,000
I didn't pay attention either.

1585
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:01,000
I wonder if a footballer at that level can just get his teeth back with the no-eat.

1586
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:03,000
I'm sure it probably.

1587
01:51:03,000 --> 01:51:07,000
I'm sure, he'd be looked after in red joy, Amelia I guess.

1588
01:51:07,000 --> 01:51:11,000
I did have another point to make.

1589
01:51:11,000 --> 01:51:19,000
Do you on EC, from a scale of very to not at all, how safe do you think he is in this job?

1590
01:51:19,000 --> 01:51:20,000
Not at all.

1591
01:51:20,000 --> 01:51:21,000
Not at all, hey.

1592
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:25,000
Like do you think he might be the next manager out?

1593
01:51:25,000 --> 01:51:27,000
Oh, me too.

1594
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:32,000
I really don't want to tap because I like him, but the results speak for themselves.

1595
01:51:32,000 --> 01:51:35,000
Exactly, and Sassuola don't have a bad team.

1596
01:51:35,000 --> 01:51:39,000
They have a pretty good team and we haven't seen Laurie and Tic, for example, in a way,

1597
01:51:39,000 --> 01:51:41,000
now granted that can be on the player.

1598
01:51:41,000 --> 01:51:43,000
But I feel like Barai, they could be deployed better as well.

1599
01:51:43,000 --> 01:51:48,000
But I don't want to, okay, is finding himself a bit, but we've also seen him play better.

1600
01:51:48,000 --> 01:51:52,000
And systemically, man, they've got so many holes at the back, Sassuola.

1601
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:55,000
I don't know if it's a problem of individuals because it's always been the case.

1602
01:51:55,000 --> 01:51:59,000
It's also the case that the club does everything to fuck the team up.

1603
01:51:59,000 --> 01:52:02,000
Same as Verona in that sense.

1604
01:52:02,000 --> 01:52:09,000
But the difference is Sassuola sell smart and they make money and they reinvest it in young talent

1605
01:52:09,000 --> 01:52:14,000
and they buy appreciating assets and it's a sustainable business model.

1606
01:52:14,000 --> 01:52:20,000
So it's not like Verona who sell all these players and no one knows where the money's going.

1607
01:52:20,000 --> 01:52:25,000
So I do think that's a Sassuola need to have maybe a new manager.

1608
01:52:25,000 --> 01:52:30,000
I think they do need a new manager because as it stands right now, they're in contention for relegation.

1609
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:32,000
And it's not looking good for them at all.

1610
01:52:32,000 --> 01:52:40,000
Ok, Choffee is Odenes' second manager of the season and he really hasn't managed to turn things around.

1611
01:52:40,000 --> 01:52:42,000
Considering the team that he has.

1612
01:52:42,000 --> 01:52:44,000
There's just a draw machine that team.

1613
01:52:44,000 --> 01:52:49,000
Sassuola 15th on 16 points, Odenes 17th on 13 points.

1614
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:52,000
There I say both teams deserve to be exactly where they are.

1615
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:55,000
So that leaves us with Torino and Polybro.

1616
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:59,000
The score was 1-0 to Torino.

1617
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:09,000
Largely credited to Zapata's goal, coupled with a lovely, solid defensive display by Torino.

1618
01:53:09,000 --> 01:53:14,000
As they shoot up into a Europa League contention zone.

1619
01:53:14,000 --> 01:53:16,000
Despite the employees efforts.

1620
01:53:16,000 --> 01:53:17,000
You can call it that.

1621
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:22,000
Yeah, despite employees efforts and many a goal cancelled.

1622
01:53:22,000 --> 01:53:24,000
The game ended 1-0.

1623
01:53:24,000 --> 01:53:27,000
But there are a few things we have to cover of course, a few key things.

1624
01:53:27,000 --> 01:53:30,000
So first of all, let's start with the suspensions.

1625
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:36,000
Guarino, Petzella, Berezynski and Caputo were all out for Empoli.

1626
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:41,000
While Guesan and Shurez were out for Torino.

1627
01:53:41,000 --> 01:53:45,000
I've never heard of Anj and Guesan in my life, but Pierre Shurez is a lovely player.

1628
01:53:45,000 --> 01:53:48,000
And he's a big mess for them.

1629
01:53:48,000 --> 01:53:52,000
Now Tony Sanabria and Zapata have been playing together up front.

1630
01:53:52,000 --> 01:53:56,000
And this seems to be a very rich solution for the striker drought situation.

1631
01:53:56,000 --> 01:53:58,000
It gives them some edge.

1632
01:53:58,000 --> 01:53:59,000
It's great.

1633
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:00,000
I love this.

1634
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:04,000
I think that this is a fantastic solution by your age to be honest to the plate.

1635
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:07,000
Imagine being a center back and you're up against Sanabria and Zapata.

1636
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:10,000
At least it's fucking semi frightening, you know.

1637
01:54:10,000 --> 01:54:11,000
Of course.

1638
01:54:11,000 --> 01:54:12,000
It is frightening.

1639
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:15,000
Zapata's goal came in the 25th minute bro.

1640
01:54:15,000 --> 01:54:17,000
But there was fuck that goal.

1641
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:21,000
It was okay Raul Bellanova charging up and down the pitch working very hard for his team.

1642
01:54:21,000 --> 01:54:28,000
And has been doing so for a while and obviously his efforts have been appreciated because he's playing consistently.

1643
01:54:28,000 --> 01:54:31,000
He went the ball into Zapata who did it then.

1644
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:33,000
But Sanabria's bicycle kick man.

1645
01:54:33,000 --> 01:54:39,000
I was watching that while I was waiting for you guys to finish getting ready.

1646
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:42,000
Because we had Kee's birthday drinks.

1647
01:54:42,000 --> 01:54:48,000
And when it happened I was home alone and I screamed by myself at home which is chill.

1648
01:54:48,000 --> 01:54:49,000
It's fine.

1649
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:50,000
I'm good.

1650
01:54:50,000 --> 01:54:53,000
But my throat started hurting after that.

1651
01:54:53,000 --> 01:54:54,000
At the moment everyone's sick.

1652
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:56,000
I'm like did that scream make me sick?

1653
01:54:56,000 --> 01:54:58,000
And I lost my voice for two days.

1654
01:54:58,000 --> 01:55:01,000
And I was like surely it's because we were drunk.

1655
01:55:01,000 --> 01:55:04,000
And we had the night out with it.

1656
01:55:04,000 --> 01:55:08,000
But I am confident that I lost my voice for two days because of the way I screamed.

1657
01:55:08,000 --> 01:55:12,000
When that goal hit the back of the net unfortunately offside.

1658
01:55:12,000 --> 01:55:13,000
It was sensational.

1659
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:14,000
I wish it counted.

1660
01:55:14,000 --> 01:55:24,000
He scored but he was offside by literally a fingernail after you bit in it and drew it and spat it on the floor.

1661
01:55:24,000 --> 01:55:25,000
That's the offside.

1662
01:55:25,000 --> 01:55:28,000
Like so so marginal.

1663
01:55:28,000 --> 01:55:29,000
Another one.

1664
01:55:29,000 --> 01:55:30,000
So marginal.

1665
01:55:30,000 --> 01:55:31,000
So marginal.

1666
01:55:31,000 --> 01:55:32,000
It's a shame.

1667
01:55:32,000 --> 01:55:33,000
Poor Esa Procci.

1668
01:55:33,000 --> 01:55:35,000
He deserved his goal there.

1669
01:55:35,000 --> 01:55:36,000
Okay.

1670
01:55:36,000 --> 01:55:42,000
Con Shillier came on in the 61st minute and he was one on one with Vanya Milinkovic-Savic.

1671
01:55:42,000 --> 01:55:50,000
He learned the very tough lesson that is don't get too close to Vanya Milinkovic-Savic when you're one on one because he is massive.

1672
01:55:50,000 --> 01:55:55,000
His legs are long, his arms are long and he will jump at your feet and he will fucking fuck you up.

1673
01:55:55,000 --> 01:55:59,000
He did jump at his feet and was a fantastic save.

1674
01:55:59,000 --> 01:56:02,000
He essentially won them the game.

1675
01:56:02,000 --> 01:56:11,000
Vanya is the kind of guy to like go walk in the woods and like just like howl to let off steam.

1676
01:56:11,000 --> 01:56:12,000
You know what I mean?

1677
01:56:12,000 --> 01:56:18,000
It go like on a 100 kilometer hike into the woods and just like howl like that.

1678
01:56:18,000 --> 01:56:28,000
Bro, who would have thought that in 2023 Vanya would be in Sey Aztel playing consistently and Sergei would be in Saudi Arabia.

1679
01:56:28,000 --> 01:56:29,000
Yeah, yeah.

1680
01:56:29,000 --> 01:56:37,000
And who would have thought in 2023 that Sergei would have made the smarter move because he's making so much more money.

1681
01:56:37,000 --> 01:56:48,000
Who would have thought in 2023 Wanda Nara just got Mauro Ecardi a move to Real Madrid in January.

1682
01:56:48,000 --> 01:56:49,000
Oh my god.

1683
01:56:49,000 --> 01:56:51,000
It just came up on my Instagram.

1684
01:56:51,000 --> 01:56:52,000
That would be mental.

1685
01:56:52,000 --> 01:56:53,000
Would be, it's done.

1686
01:56:53,000 --> 01:56:54,000
It's done.

1687
01:56:54,000 --> 01:56:55,000
What do you mean?

1688
01:56:55,000 --> 01:56:56,000
Dundee.

1689
01:56:56,000 --> 01:56:57,000
Dundee.

1690
01:56:57,000 --> 01:56:58,000
Bro, that's right.

1691
01:56:58,000 --> 01:56:59,000
Who reported?

1692
01:56:59,000 --> 01:57:00,000
It was Romano.

1693
01:57:00,000 --> 01:57:01,000
Here we go.

1694
01:57:01,000 --> 01:57:03,000
I don't believe it was, oh, where did it go?

1695
01:57:03,000 --> 01:57:07,000
In the meantime, I can break a new piece of news as well as this came up while we're recording.

1696
01:57:07,000 --> 01:57:09,000
This is apparently everything happens while we're recording.

1697
01:57:09,000 --> 01:57:13,000
And it also happens for a reason and don't you forget.

1698
01:57:13,000 --> 01:57:19,000
Walter Sabatini is the new general director of Salernitan and that's massive.

1699
01:57:19,000 --> 01:57:20,000
That's massive.

1700
01:57:20,000 --> 01:57:23,000
Hopefully, I mean, January is coming.

1701
01:57:23,000 --> 01:57:25,000
So let's see what Sabatini can cook.

1702
01:57:25,000 --> 01:57:26,000
Yeah.

1703
01:57:26,000 --> 01:57:27,000
Yeah.

1704
01:57:27,000 --> 01:57:30,000
I mean, he is the guy that can spot talent and that can make deals happen.

1705
01:57:30,000 --> 01:57:31,000
Of course.

1706
01:57:31,000 --> 01:57:32,000
Brilliant.

1707
01:57:32,000 --> 01:57:33,000
Okay.

1708
01:57:33,000 --> 01:57:40,000
Icarides is pretty much confirmed by any platform that isn't official.

1709
01:57:40,000 --> 01:57:42,000
Bro, what?

1710
01:57:42,000 --> 01:57:43,000
Sorry.

1711
01:57:43,000 --> 01:57:44,000
What?

1712
01:57:44,000 --> 01:57:45,000
What?

1713
01:57:45,000 --> 01:57:47,000
I just opened my phone.

1714
01:57:47,000 --> 01:57:51,000
And now, Polly Nil Frostinone 4 Coppa Italia.

1715
01:57:51,000 --> 01:57:54,000
Taking the fucking dick.

1716
01:57:54,000 --> 01:57:55,000
Really?

1717
01:57:55,000 --> 01:57:57,000
I swear, I just checked it.

1718
01:57:57,000 --> 01:57:58,000
It's real.

1719
01:57:58,000 --> 01:57:59,000
Like I'm not being pranked.

1720
01:57:59,000 --> 01:58:01,000
So in the 37th minute, we're covering this as well.

1721
01:58:01,000 --> 01:58:05,000
But Sumiano scored, but it was disallowed for a handball.

1722
01:58:05,000 --> 01:58:07,000
Then Berincereos scored in the 65th.

1723
01:58:07,000 --> 01:58:09,000
Caso in the 70th.

1724
01:58:09,000 --> 01:58:12,000
Kediran the 91st and Harui in the 95th.

1725
01:58:12,000 --> 01:58:14,000
Napoli out of the Coppa Italia.

1726
01:58:14,000 --> 01:58:16,000
Who did Napoli field?

1727
01:58:16,000 --> 01:58:18,000
Full team or?

1728
01:58:18,000 --> 01:58:19,000
Bro, man.

1729
01:58:19,000 --> 01:58:21,000
Gollini's on all the Ostegaid.

1730
01:58:21,000 --> 01:58:25,000
Natan Rui, Caustia, Demm, Megatano, Lindstrom, Sumione, Raspador.

1731
01:58:25,000 --> 01:58:26,000
So no.

1732
01:58:26,000 --> 01:58:27,000
Not full team.

1733
01:58:27,000 --> 01:58:28,000
No, not at all.

1734
01:58:28,000 --> 01:58:29,000
Not at all.

1735
01:58:29,000 --> 01:58:34,000
But Ostegaid, Natan, Rui, Gollini's on all the...

1736
01:58:34,000 --> 01:58:36,000
That's not the defensive backline.

1737
01:58:36,000 --> 01:58:38,000
And we'll keep it at conceded four goals to Frostinone.

1738
01:58:38,000 --> 01:58:39,000
To Caso Kediran.

1739
01:58:39,000 --> 01:58:40,000
Because I went for the...

1740
01:58:40,000 --> 01:58:44,000
That is the line-up of someone that doesn't give a fucking shit about Coppa Italia.

1741
01:58:44,000 --> 01:58:46,000
That's a mistake, like.

1742
01:58:46,000 --> 01:58:47,000
That's a mistake.

1743
01:58:47,000 --> 01:58:49,000
That line-up is whack.

1744
01:58:49,000 --> 01:58:50,000
That's fucked up.

1745
01:58:50,000 --> 01:58:51,000
Four nil.

1746
01:58:51,000 --> 01:58:52,000
What the hell?

1747
01:58:52,000 --> 01:58:53,000
I can't wait to see what the hell happened here.

1748
01:58:53,000 --> 01:58:55,000
Shelly, you want to conclude this game?

1749
01:58:55,000 --> 01:58:56,000
Yes, sir.

1750
01:58:56,000 --> 01:58:57,000
Just because we'll go one minute less.

1751
01:58:57,000 --> 01:58:59,000
Oh, yes.

1752
01:58:59,000 --> 01:59:06,000
When it comes to the standings, Torino are in ninth with 23 points.

1753
01:59:06,000 --> 01:59:07,000
Missionary.

1754
01:59:07,000 --> 01:59:11,000
Well, Emily are in 18th with 12 points.

1755
01:59:11,000 --> 01:59:14,000
One point away from Odinez, outside the relegation pool.

1756
01:59:14,000 --> 01:59:19,000
The next time we record would be after Christmas.

1757
01:59:19,000 --> 01:59:20,000
So happy Christmas.

1758
01:59:20,000 --> 01:59:22,000
Are you crazy, coos?

1759
01:59:22,000 --> 01:59:26,000
So let us take this opportunity to tell you crazy, crazy, coos.

1760
01:59:26,000 --> 01:59:27,000
Merry Christmas to all of you.

1761
01:59:27,000 --> 01:59:28,000
Happy Hanukkah.

1762
01:59:28,000 --> 01:59:32,000
Whatever it is that you love, we love it even more.

1763
01:59:32,000 --> 01:59:33,000
That's all I'm going to say.

1764
01:59:33,000 --> 01:59:34,000
Absolutely.

1765
01:59:34,000 --> 01:59:40,000

We love you all.

1768
01:59:43,000 --> 01:59:44,000
Happy holidays.

1769
01:59:44,000 --> 01:59:45,000
Stay safe.

1770
01:59:45,000 --> 01:59:46,000
Don't drink and drive.

1771
01:59:46,000 --> 01:59:56,000
We'll be back before you know it.
