1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:05,640
with the Panic Control Cross for Danimota!

2
00:00:05,640 --> 00:00:08,320
Roveshada Paradisiaca!

3
00:00:08,320 --> 00:00:09,920
Danimota!

4
00:00:09,920 --> 00:00:11,240
Carvallo!

5
00:00:11,240 --> 00:00:13,600
Capolavoro Assoluto!

6
00:00:13,600 --> 00:00:16,000
2-0 for Ilmonza!

7
00:00:16,000 --> 00:00:17,600
What a goal!

8
00:00:22,600 --> 00:00:26,440
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Seria Spotlight.

9
00:00:26,440 --> 00:00:29,560
This is episode 117 and we are hosts Matt

10
00:00:29,560 --> 00:00:33,760
and Jake here to discuss all the happenings of matchday 28.

11
00:00:33,760 --> 00:00:37,360
Yes, an action packed matchday with more relegations,

12
00:00:37,360 --> 00:00:41,680
six pointers and more battles between very good sides.

13
00:00:41,680 --> 00:00:45,320
And in more important news, we're on YouTube and we've got video.

14
00:00:45,320 --> 00:00:46,880
Yes, yes.

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:51,400
So far, it's the cheapest setup possible.

16
00:00:51,400 --> 00:00:55,440
It's my iPhone and it's his girlfriend's ring light.

17
00:00:55,440 --> 00:00:59,200
But hopefully through further investments and less holidays

18
00:00:59,200 --> 00:01:04,040
to watch pointless Seria R matches, no such thing by the way,

19
00:01:04,040 --> 00:01:07,720
we'll be able to invest further and give you guys some better production.

20
00:01:07,720 --> 00:01:09,440
But until then, please be patient with us.

21
00:01:09,440 --> 00:01:11,920
Yeah, we'll have a few things in the pipeline like the wall behind us

22
00:01:11,920 --> 00:01:17,120
will eventually be covered with pictures of niche football players.

23
00:01:17,120 --> 00:01:20,360
Basically, we're talking the simian wankwos of this world,

24
00:01:20,360 --> 00:01:23,680
the musky gulls of this world, if you know, you know.

25
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:26,640
I can't wait until you publish that musky gull one.

26
00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:30,520
It's my favorite one, the beard is kind of the musky gull.

27
00:01:30,520 --> 00:01:33,040
This guy's looking up quite a story on him.

28
00:01:33,040 --> 00:01:36,240
One of those that that never quite took it to the next level,

29
00:01:36,680 --> 00:01:38,360
albeit he was insane.

30
00:01:38,360 --> 00:01:40,920
Goal of the week, the easiest one.

31
00:01:42,040 --> 00:01:43,680
By far, definitely.

32
00:01:44,680 --> 00:01:48,200
Danny Mota, I mean, what a good what a way to score.

33
00:01:48,480 --> 00:01:50,080
He's it's his year, man.

34
00:01:50,080 --> 00:01:53,000
Danny Mota, he's really stepped it up a notch.

35
00:01:53,000 --> 00:01:56,600
Last season was his first in Syria with Monza.

36
00:01:56,960 --> 00:02:01,400
He had been with them all the way since Syria, the lower leagues.

37
00:02:01,400 --> 00:02:03,280
And he stayed there along with Jose Masha.

38
00:02:04,640 --> 00:02:06,800
And he's really adapted well to Syria.

39
00:02:06,800 --> 00:02:08,840
He's been he's a starter for this team.

40
00:02:08,840 --> 00:02:11,560
If not a starter, he pretty much plays every single game.

41
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:14,200
Yeah. And what a goal that was, man. That was next level.

42
00:02:14,240 --> 00:02:15,240
He's dangerous, man.

43
00:02:15,240 --> 00:02:18,480
He operates on the left, but he's a bit closer to goal.

44
00:02:18,480 --> 00:02:21,480
And he cuts inside and works his magic in that way.

45
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:24,120
Got a goal against Milan, got the spectacular goal as well.

46
00:02:24,840 --> 00:02:27,560
Blatantly nicked Leo's celebration.

47
00:02:27,800 --> 00:02:28,960
Blatantly nicked it.

48
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:33,840
Leo, he did it against Napoli, and it was it was amazing.

49
00:02:34,520 --> 00:02:37,560
That celebration was amazing because Napoli were running away with it.

50
00:02:37,560 --> 00:02:40,400
And he was just like, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.

51
00:02:40,400 --> 00:02:42,960
It was amazing, but Mota nicked it.

52
00:02:43,000 --> 00:02:44,240
Fuck it. Respect to him.

53
00:02:44,240 --> 00:02:45,920
At least he's being consistent with it.

54
00:02:45,920 --> 00:02:49,400
It was a worthy celebration for the moment, of course, after a goal like that.

55
00:02:49,400 --> 00:02:51,120
Yeah, yeah, definitely.

56
00:02:51,120 --> 00:02:55,200
Some honorable mentions nowhere near the caliber of that goal.

57
00:02:55,200 --> 00:02:57,120
But La Padula had an excellent goal.

58
00:02:57,120 --> 00:03:01,080
It's even cooler because it's La Padula with his shirt tucked in, you know.

59
00:03:02,120 --> 00:03:03,240
Super cool goal.

60
00:03:03,240 --> 00:03:05,760
Sanabria channeled his inner love on the

61
00:03:06,600 --> 00:03:11,640
La Padula with Salernitana's high line of Fazio and Manolas shooting them in the bottom.

62
00:03:11,640 --> 00:03:13,280
It's a strange arrangement.

63
00:03:13,280 --> 00:03:13,720
I don't get it.

64
00:03:13,720 --> 00:03:15,360
Strange as fucking arrangement.

65
00:03:15,360 --> 00:03:16,200
I don't get it.

66
00:03:16,200 --> 00:03:18,400
It's like, let's play the big boys to counter La Padula,

67
00:03:18,400 --> 00:03:21,080
but we'll play a high line at the same time.

68
00:03:21,080 --> 00:03:26,720
Tony Sanabria, his first touch of the game was a Ravushata goal.

69
00:03:26,800 --> 00:03:27,920
Yeah.

70
00:03:27,920 --> 00:03:30,880
What ruined it is that Merit got a got a touch to it.

71
00:03:30,880 --> 00:03:34,400
And sometimes you just want to see the ball cleanly hit the back of the net, right?

72
00:03:34,600 --> 00:03:36,240
This was Mota's goal from which?

73
00:03:36,240 --> 00:03:38,680
Yeah, exactly.

74
00:03:38,680 --> 00:03:42,720
Cope Miners, the free kick routine, a Dutchman and a free kick routine.

75
00:03:43,280 --> 00:03:47,000
Those who know will know, obviously, Netherlands, Argentina.

76
00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:49,160
If you know, you know, if you know, you know,

77
00:03:50,360 --> 00:03:51,840
spectacular goal as well.

78
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:55,960
I was watching it with with Bren, a friend of mine, Ben Bren.

79
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,960
I know Ben or Bren.

80
00:03:57,960 --> 00:04:01,240
No, his name is Brendan, but some people call him Ben and some people call him

81
00:04:01,240 --> 00:04:02,800
Bren depends on my mood.

82
00:04:02,800 --> 00:04:08,120
Like, what I was telling him, why the hell isn't Cope Miners standing over this one?

83
00:04:08,360 --> 00:04:08,880
And he's like, what?

84
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:13,800
Cope Miners typically takes on all of a sudden he plays the the lateral ball and boom,

85
00:04:13,800 --> 00:04:15,120
Cope Miners smashes it.

86
00:04:15,120 --> 00:04:17,080
Did you resist the urge to tell him?

87
00:04:17,080 --> 00:04:17,840
Told you.

88
00:04:17,840 --> 00:04:18,520
I told you.

89
00:04:18,520 --> 00:04:21,960
I never, never resist the urge to tell someone I told them.

90
00:04:21,960 --> 00:04:24,920
So when it comes to football and I have a point, I'm all like,

91
00:04:26,080 --> 00:04:28,880
maybe you see what I told you before like how it happened.

92
00:04:29,840 --> 00:04:33,360
Your end, the last minute equalizer for Rome,

93
00:04:33,360 --> 00:04:36,800
Rome have a tendency that their center back score amazing goals.

94
00:04:36,800 --> 00:04:38,600
Earlier this year, there was Hoyssen.

95
00:04:38,600 --> 00:04:41,040
Last year, there was Mancini against you.

96
00:04:41,040 --> 00:04:44,960
Well, Interesco was over at our Esco from outside the area.

97
00:04:44,960 --> 00:04:45,720
It was mental.

98
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:49,320
And now you're in there with this with this great goal.

99
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:51,960
Is that a rocket into the top corner and dying moments?

100
00:04:51,960 --> 00:04:52,880
Lots of kick of the game.

101
00:04:52,880 --> 00:04:54,120
You said, yeah, crazy.

102
00:04:54,120 --> 00:04:57,880
I'm not sure if I'm not sure they kicked off and like pass the ball to three

103
00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:01,320
times, but it was past the 94th minute and there were four minutes.

104
00:05:01,320 --> 00:05:02,680
The mood was set.

105
00:05:02,680 --> 00:05:03,320
Yes.

106
00:05:03,320 --> 00:05:04,000
Let's just say that.

107
00:05:04,000 --> 00:05:05,200
Yes, that was a brilliant game.

108
00:05:05,200 --> 00:05:06,320
Can't wait to discuss it.

109
00:05:07,400 --> 00:05:08,720
European updates.

110
00:05:08,720 --> 00:05:09,920
Yes, we have a few.

111
00:05:09,920 --> 00:05:11,880
Yeah, lots of you have gone home.

112
00:05:11,880 --> 00:05:13,360
So lots of you have gone home.

113
00:05:13,360 --> 00:05:16,360
And I think I'm not sure I think we already mentioned that to you guys.

114
00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:21,480
But Napoli have now been sent home after losing three one to Barça last night

115
00:05:21,480 --> 00:05:24,560
away from home and they're losing to an ill got one back.

116
00:05:24,560 --> 00:05:29,480
It seemed like they had a chance, but these kids of Barça, they're crazy.

117
00:05:29,480 --> 00:05:31,920
La Masia is really honestly.

118
00:05:31,920 --> 00:05:35,720
They had Gavi, they had Pedri and they had Deong all out.

119
00:05:35,960 --> 00:05:37,600
Everyone, everyone fucking injured.

120
00:05:37,600 --> 00:05:40,160
It's not like they chose to go out with the kids, man.

121
00:05:40,920 --> 00:05:44,440
But they did a great job, especially towards the end of the game.

122
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:47,520
They really managed to pick up that momentum and kill the game.

123
00:05:48,400 --> 00:05:49,720
Tonight.

124
00:05:49,720 --> 00:05:56,560
So yesterday, when you're watching this is Atletico versus Inter.

125
00:05:56,760 --> 00:05:59,120
I wrote you well on my notes for some reason, hence the.

126
00:06:01,120 --> 00:06:03,680
But Inter won that first game one nil.

127
00:06:04,400 --> 00:06:06,000
So we'll see what happens.

128
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:08,120
You guys know and we don't, which is hilarious.

129
00:06:08,280 --> 00:06:12,120
Yeah, we'll if we're still recording by the time it'll happen,

130
00:06:12,120 --> 00:06:14,800
we will give live updates and reactions.

131
00:06:15,000 --> 00:06:19,520
But obviously for a coefficient sake, we do hope that Inter make it to the final

132
00:06:19,520 --> 00:06:22,280
and then lose.

133
00:06:22,280 --> 00:06:23,880
It depends on the rough against man.

134
00:06:23,880 --> 00:06:26,720
Yeah, I'm all for Italian victories.

135
00:06:27,560 --> 00:06:31,920
Tomorrow night, Slavia Prague versus Milan for all you Europeans.

136
00:06:32,120 --> 00:06:35,360
This game is happening quite early in Maltese time.

137
00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:37,920
It's happening at 6.45 p.m.

138
00:06:38,400 --> 00:06:40,560
So Italian time is the same so on so forth.

139
00:06:41,240 --> 00:06:43,360
English time would be 7.45.

140
00:06:43,360 --> 00:06:44,600
So keep an eye out for that.

141
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:48,080
There's also at Atlanta, obviously Milan won that first game for two.

142
00:06:48,520 --> 00:06:50,760
Atalanta sporting tomorrow as well.

143
00:06:50,760 --> 00:06:53,360
First game finished one one Brighton Roma.

144
00:06:53,960 --> 00:06:55,680
Roma don't even need to turn up.

145
00:06:56,080 --> 00:06:57,800
They won the first game for nil.

146
00:06:58,040 --> 00:06:59,080
How about you?

147
00:06:59,080 --> 00:07:00,080
You're right.

148
00:07:00,080 --> 00:07:03,120
And fear and Brighton know the revelation.

149
00:07:03,120 --> 00:07:06,400
Pep Guardiola saying they're the best team in the world last year.

150
00:07:07,440 --> 00:07:08,440
OK, dog.

151
00:07:09,480 --> 00:07:12,200
And Fiorentina versus Maccabi Haifa.

152
00:07:12,200 --> 00:07:16,360
The first game was a 4-3 victory for Maccabi Haifa.

153
00:07:16,360 --> 00:07:18,280
For for sorry for fear.

154
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,240
For fear and they wish.

155
00:07:20,240 --> 00:07:22,280
Yeah, they go close.

156
00:07:22,280 --> 00:07:24,640
It took goals from all sorts of people.

157
00:07:24,840 --> 00:07:25,040
All right.

158
00:07:25,040 --> 00:07:25,840
Towards the end of the game.

159
00:07:25,840 --> 00:07:27,280
I think Barak got the winners.

160
00:07:27,280 --> 00:07:28,760
Like Barak got the winner.

161
00:07:28,760 --> 00:07:29,440
The winner in age.

162
00:07:29,440 --> 00:07:32,000
Beltran scored and Zola scored.

163
00:07:32,000 --> 00:07:34,760
Yeah, all the people who haven't been scoring.

164
00:07:34,760 --> 00:07:36,440
Yeah, that's what scoring this game.

165
00:07:36,440 --> 00:07:38,560
They turned up, they turned up.

00:08:02,920 --> 00:08:06,000
We have got a list of beautiful patrons with Jake.

176
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:07,120
We'll shout out right now.

177
00:08:07,120 --> 00:08:10,560
We've got Alan, Andrew and the Anthony Tim Campbell,

178
00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:14,360
Sluge, Macnoodle, Lena, David, Kyle, Luca, Matias,

179
00:08:14,360 --> 00:08:17,000
Mint, Michael, Tonna and Ed.

180
00:08:17,000 --> 00:08:18,960
I did the whole Michael Tonna thing again.

181
00:08:18,960 --> 00:08:22,760
Michael and Tonna, two separate people, even though Michael's surname is Tonna.

182
00:08:22,920 --> 00:08:23,840
It's fantastic.

183
00:08:24,920 --> 00:08:26,520
These are the guys to keep the show going.

184
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:28,040
Thank you very much for your support, guys.

185
00:08:28,040 --> 00:08:30,520
If you would like to join the family on the WhatsApp group chat,

186
00:08:30,520 --> 00:08:32,240
we've got a nice little community over there.

187
00:08:33,320 --> 00:08:34,480
You can subscribe.

188
00:08:34,480 --> 00:08:37,600
It's only 3.99 a month and you will really support the show.

189
00:08:37,760 --> 00:08:43,120
Yeah, do not have a four pack of nuggets once a month and instead become a

190
00:08:43,120 --> 00:08:46,240
Patreon, become a patron, patron, patron.

191
00:08:47,520 --> 00:08:50,320
But yeah, you will be valued and also a shout out, by the way,

192
00:08:50,320 --> 00:08:55,560
because one of our biggest support though isn't a patron on Twitter.

193
00:08:55,560 --> 00:09:02,360
Yeah, every single time or X, every single time, two hours after we release our episode,

194
00:09:02,360 --> 00:09:04,560
which means you had just listened to the full thing.

195
00:09:04,560 --> 00:09:08,520
He always shouts us out, gives us feedback, posts about us.

196
00:09:09,080 --> 00:09:12,240
Frank, you beautiful motherfucker.

197
00:09:12,240 --> 00:09:16,640
Thank you very much for being one of our most loyal followers and listeners.

198
00:09:16,640 --> 00:09:17,920
We absolutely love you.

199
00:09:17,920 --> 00:09:20,080
We don't get to speak to you that much.

200
00:09:20,080 --> 00:09:22,400
It's more like exchanges on social media.

201
00:09:22,400 --> 00:09:27,200
But we do mention you a lot in our conversations and we absolutely adore you.

202
00:09:27,200 --> 00:09:28,400
Thank you so much for your support.

203
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:31,320
Sometimes a day would have passed, I'm like, Frank hasn't said anything.

204
00:09:31,320 --> 00:09:32,160
Is he okay?

205
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:33,160
I hope he liked it.

206
00:09:33,160 --> 00:09:35,400
Did we say something stupid in the last episode?

207
00:09:35,960 --> 00:09:37,200
Like, Frank hasn't messaged.

208
00:09:37,200 --> 00:09:39,360
What message did you get that guy?

209
00:09:39,360 --> 00:09:40,960
That's in our voices.

210
00:09:40,960 --> 00:09:42,520
Yes, they call him his dog now.

211
00:09:42,520 --> 00:09:44,800
Let me give him a quick shout out.

212
00:09:44,800 --> 00:09:46,600
I don't know how our voices call him anything.

213
00:09:46,600 --> 00:09:48,640
They didn't call him bully down, our dog.

214
00:09:48,640 --> 00:09:50,560
Now we used to record at home, bro.

215
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:51,840
The whining dog.

216
00:09:51,840 --> 00:09:55,760
So this is some, some on Instagram.

217
00:09:55,760 --> 00:09:59,000
He said, where is it?

218
00:09:59,000 --> 00:10:00,360
Vixx got an a stick.

219
00:10:00,360 --> 00:10:03,120
Yes, enjoyed everyone and listen all the way through.

220
00:10:03,120 --> 00:10:05,560
It calms my dog down too, I found out.

221
00:10:05,560 --> 00:10:08,960
Yeah, he posted the sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit mean.

222
00:10:08,960 --> 00:10:09,960
Yeah.

223
00:10:09,960 --> 00:10:10,960
So yeah.

224
00:10:10,960 --> 00:10:12,840
Shout out, thank you for the feedback.

225
00:10:12,840 --> 00:10:14,560
Shout out brother, shout out.

226
00:10:14,560 --> 00:10:18,560
But let's get to the round off because we do babble quite a bit in the intro zone to a man.

227
00:10:18,560 --> 00:10:19,560
Fuck it.

228
00:10:19,560 --> 00:10:21,080
New listeners zone out a major thing.

229
00:10:21,080 --> 00:10:22,080
Yeah.

230
00:10:22,080 --> 00:10:26,080
And we'll start off with Bologna and Nill inter one over history.

231
00:10:26,080 --> 00:10:30,360
We've seen that Bologna have typically given inter a tough game, but in this game, it did

232
00:10:30,360 --> 00:10:38,080
happen to be what I saw an encounter between Mota and in Zaghi, two very clear style of

233
00:10:38,080 --> 00:10:43,680
play and this time in Zaghi managed to shut down Mota style of play and subsequently enter

234
00:10:43,680 --> 00:10:44,680
one that game.

235
00:10:44,680 --> 00:10:45,680
They've lost Zergs for a month.

236
00:10:45,680 --> 00:10:47,080
Yeah, they've lost Zergs for a month.

237
00:10:47,080 --> 00:10:49,840
That is devastating for them.

238
00:10:49,840 --> 00:10:53,280
Juventus two at Atlanta, two Atlanta had opened the scoring.

239
00:10:53,280 --> 00:10:58,880
You've sealed the comeback to one, but Atlanta managed to get one quite late on in the game.

240
00:10:58,880 --> 00:11:00,240
Milan one and Polly Nill.

241
00:11:00,240 --> 00:11:04,840
It was a tough game for Milan, but a deflected policy strike managed to get them over the

242
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:05,840
line.

243
00:11:05,840 --> 00:11:08,440
It's about winning at the moment and not how you win.

244
00:11:08,440 --> 00:11:12,240
Fiorentina two Roma two Roma equalizing with the last kick of the game.

245
00:11:12,240 --> 00:11:16,520
Fiorentina having an excellent first half in particular, just an excellent game in general

246
00:11:16,520 --> 00:11:17,520
to be honest.

247
00:11:17,520 --> 00:11:18,520
They looked much improved.

248
00:11:18,520 --> 00:11:23,480
Lazio one Odeneze two for what was the shock of this matchday.

249
00:11:23,480 --> 00:11:28,080
If you watched those five minutes in this game, you pretty much fucking watch the whole

250
00:11:28,080 --> 00:11:29,080
game.

251
00:11:29,080 --> 00:11:31,840
The rest was lots you're trying and not my exact.

252
00:11:31,840 --> 00:11:32,840
Sorry he's been sacked.

253
00:11:32,840 --> 00:11:33,840
That's the headline.

254
00:11:33,840 --> 00:11:34,840
No, no, no, sorry.

255
00:11:34,840 --> 00:11:35,840
Resign.

256
00:11:35,840 --> 00:11:36,840
He resigned.

257
00:11:36,840 --> 00:11:37,840
Absolutely.

258
00:11:37,840 --> 00:11:38,840
He's had enough.

259
00:11:38,840 --> 00:11:45,200
Apparently he basically kind of asked the players to a certain extent, like, do you want me to

260
00:11:45,200 --> 00:11:46,400
stay?

261
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:49,160
No one said no, but no one said yes.

262
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:52,680
No one asked him, should I leave?

263
00:11:52,680 --> 00:11:54,280
No one else is like, should I stay?

264
00:11:54,280 --> 00:11:55,640
No one answered either.

265
00:11:55,640 --> 00:11:58,600
So he's like, okay, then that's enough.

266
00:11:58,600 --> 00:12:00,680
And now they're considering who are the two names.

267
00:12:00,680 --> 00:12:04,400
One of them was Miroslav Klose, which would be crazy.

268
00:12:04,400 --> 00:12:09,160
Like all four just to see Klose on the side.

269
00:12:09,160 --> 00:12:14,440
And the other one was an attractive name.

270
00:12:14,440 --> 00:12:16,600
And it was, I can't remember who it is right now.

271
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:17,960
I think I have it written later on though.

272
00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:18,960
So we'll mention it later on.

273
00:12:18,960 --> 00:12:20,960
Yeah, we'll get to that.

274
00:12:20,960 --> 00:12:23,680
Napoli won Torino 1.

275
00:12:23,680 --> 00:12:24,920
And it was the other game.

276
00:12:24,920 --> 00:12:29,080
That's where Tony Sanabria scored with his first kick of the game being the overhead

277
00:12:29,080 --> 00:12:30,080
kick.

278
00:12:30,080 --> 00:12:34,160
Interesting fact is that Napoli, under their new management, remain undefeated.

279
00:12:34,160 --> 00:12:38,360
It doesn't mean that their score lines have been too flattering.

280
00:12:38,360 --> 00:12:39,880
But they're undefeated.

281
00:12:39,880 --> 00:12:40,880
In the league.

282
00:12:40,880 --> 00:12:44,400
In the league, yeah, because they just lost to Barca naturally.

283
00:12:44,400 --> 00:12:48,160
Salieri for Salernetana, two in a relegation dogfight.

284
00:12:48,160 --> 00:12:51,840
Salernetana absolutely suck at relegation dogfights, bro.

285
00:12:51,840 --> 00:12:54,880
They look better against the top teams where they're super pragmatic.

286
00:12:54,880 --> 00:12:55,880
Absolutely.

287
00:12:55,880 --> 00:13:01,720
And this is the first time Sabatini's come out and said, basically, we're done.

288
00:13:01,720 --> 00:13:03,720
He apologized.

289
00:13:03,720 --> 00:13:08,080
He said that the signings he made in January were a failure, basically, and they didn't

290
00:13:08,080 --> 00:13:11,360
have the impact that he had hoped they would have had.

291
00:13:11,360 --> 00:13:15,920
And he basically urged the fans to stay with the team until they were pretty much confirming

292
00:13:15,920 --> 00:13:17,760
what we all know.

293
00:13:17,760 --> 00:13:22,360
Salernetana are going down this year and they're probably, they definitely won't be a miracle

294
00:13:22,360 --> 00:13:23,360
this year.

295
00:13:23,360 --> 00:13:24,680
They just passed it, man.

296
00:13:24,680 --> 00:13:28,440
Yeah, well, it doesn't seem like they've got it in them.

297
00:13:28,440 --> 00:13:34,080
It seems like everything they do, every call they make is the wrong one at this point.

298
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:37,040
But never count Salernetana out, right?

299
00:13:37,040 --> 00:13:39,360
And we've learned that two years ago.

300
00:13:39,360 --> 00:13:43,800
So it ain't over until the fat lady sings.

301
00:13:43,800 --> 00:13:49,280
Let's read Nile Verona one had some drama, bro.

302
00:13:49,280 --> 00:13:51,640
It really fucking.

303
00:13:51,640 --> 00:13:53,440
What's with Henri and the managers?

304
00:13:53,440 --> 00:13:55,440
Bro, they're just always hitting.

305
00:13:55,440 --> 00:13:58,280
Who was it last season?

306
00:13:58,280 --> 00:14:00,080
Not last season, the one before.

307
00:14:00,080 --> 00:14:02,600
His manager had started screaming in his face.

308
00:14:02,600 --> 00:14:03,600
Ah, Zanetti.

309
00:14:03,600 --> 00:14:05,600
Zanetti, yeah, Zanetti.

310
00:14:05,600 --> 00:14:06,600
Yeah.

311
00:14:06,600 --> 00:14:08,600
Back at, was it, Venetia?

312
00:14:08,600 --> 00:14:09,600
Yeah, at Venetia.

313
00:14:09,600 --> 00:14:14,080
He said, Polk, what are you fucking shaking him and hitting him?

314
00:14:14,080 --> 00:14:15,960
And now he was headbutted by Daversa.

315
00:14:15,960 --> 00:14:17,880
I was headbutted by Daversa.

316
00:14:17,880 --> 00:14:22,840
Daversa spoke out what it is like, look, apologies.

317
00:14:22,840 --> 00:14:24,000
But I didn't headbutt him.

318
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:25,000
We went face to face.

319
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:26,000
I didn't headbutt him.

320
00:14:26,000 --> 00:14:27,000
He didn't headbutt me.

321
00:14:27,000 --> 00:14:29,560
There was just some, some force going on.

322
00:14:29,560 --> 00:14:30,560
He's been sacked.

323
00:14:30,560 --> 00:14:33,320
But shout out to Letcher because they took immediate action.

324
00:14:33,320 --> 00:14:35,240
They're like, this is, this is shit.

325
00:14:35,240 --> 00:14:36,240
You can't do that.

326
00:14:36,240 --> 00:14:37,840
And they immediately sacked him.

327
00:14:37,840 --> 00:14:39,840
The fanbase weren't too happy with him to start with.

328
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:40,840
And now they've got Gotti.

329
00:14:40,840 --> 00:14:41,840
Got it.

330
00:14:41,840 --> 00:14:45,320
And the former Odinesa man, not such an experienced manager.

331
00:14:45,320 --> 00:14:47,200
He's a very buy the book.

332
00:14:47,200 --> 00:14:48,200
New manager.

333
00:14:48,200 --> 00:14:51,800
He only got his debut managing a team for Odinesa in 2019.

334
00:14:51,800 --> 00:14:53,520
So still a lot to learn.

335
00:14:53,520 --> 00:14:56,240
He's got this permanent face.

336
00:14:56,240 --> 00:14:57,240
That's true.

337
00:14:57,240 --> 00:14:58,240
That's true.

338
00:14:58,240 --> 00:14:59,240
Got Gotti, hello?

339
00:14:59,240 --> 00:15:00,240
Yeah.

340
00:15:00,240 --> 00:15:01,240
Yeah.

341
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:02,240
Literally Gotti.

342
00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:05,240
Sasualo one, Frozino and Nile in another relegations.

343
00:15:05,240 --> 00:15:06,240
Six point.

344
00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,560
I absolutely adore these relegations.

345
00:15:07,560 --> 00:15:08,560
Six pointers.

346
00:15:08,560 --> 00:15:15,600
And finally, Sasualo getting a victory over here to help them out of her so slightly.

347
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:17,640
And Genoa two, Monsatri.

348
00:15:17,640 --> 00:15:22,840
We put this down here because it's essentially a battle for 11th, right?

349
00:15:22,840 --> 00:15:27,000
Bragging rights because Monsar are the most successful debut team in Syria.

350
00:15:27,000 --> 00:15:30,760
And perhaps Genoa want to make that title from them this season, but it doesn't look

351
00:15:30,760 --> 00:15:31,760
like they're going to do so.

352
00:15:31,760 --> 00:15:32,760
Monsar.

353
00:15:32,760 --> 00:15:33,760
Monsar good.

354
00:15:33,760 --> 00:15:34,760
Monsar good.

355
00:15:34,760 --> 00:15:35,760
They've got their own days.

356
00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:40,200
They've got their off days, but they're pretty damn good, man.

357
00:15:40,200 --> 00:15:41,200
Yeah.

358
00:15:41,200 --> 00:15:43,200
Shall we get straight into it?

359
00:15:43,200 --> 00:15:44,200
Yes.

360
00:15:44,200 --> 00:15:45,640
I believe the first game is yours, brother.

361
00:15:45,640 --> 00:15:46,640
Yes.

362
00:15:46,640 --> 00:15:51,280
The first game that we will be taking a look at is Bologna Inter.

363
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,880
And Bologna Inter finished 1-0 to the OASide, which happened to be Inter.

364
00:15:55,880 --> 00:15:58,480
This was quite a spectacle of a football game.

365
00:15:58,480 --> 00:16:01,360
And with two sides, with very interesting approaches to football.

366
00:16:01,360 --> 00:16:02,360
I'm coming at the head.

367
00:16:02,360 --> 00:16:04,880
This is Matthew alluded to in the intro.

368
00:16:04,880 --> 00:16:09,640
The previous encounter was actually in the Coppa Italia where Bologna knocked Inter out

369
00:16:09,640 --> 00:16:11,320
with a scoreline of 2-1.

370
00:16:11,320 --> 00:16:13,920
But in the league earlier this season, they came 2-2.

371
00:16:13,920 --> 00:16:17,040
So Bologna have been giving Inter problems.

372
00:16:17,040 --> 00:16:22,040
And since 2022, when Inter had beaten them 6-1, they hadn't beaten them in the next three

373
00:16:22,040 --> 00:16:23,040
games.

374
00:16:23,040 --> 00:16:24,040
Yeah.

375
00:16:24,040 --> 00:16:25,400
Thank you, Rado.

376
00:16:25,400 --> 00:16:27,320
Thank you, Rado.

377
00:16:27,320 --> 00:16:32,320
So Bologna's formation was the 4-1, 4-1, or what is it sideways?

378
00:16:32,320 --> 00:16:33,320
2-7-2, brother.

379
00:16:33,320 --> 00:16:34,320
2-7-2.

380
00:16:34,320 --> 00:16:36,200
I'm reading it incorrectly.

381
00:16:36,200 --> 00:16:40,320
We've got Sperubski in goal, Poshbo, Kemal Dukumi, and Christensen at the back with

382
00:16:40,320 --> 00:16:44,720
Froyler playing in the pocket behind the midfield, or in front of the defense rather.

383
00:16:44,720 --> 00:16:47,920
Odgaard, Abishur, Ferguson, and Salamakers were the midfield forward.

384
00:16:47,920 --> 00:16:50,400
Josh was the RxE up front.

385
00:16:50,400 --> 00:16:54,760
For Inter it was a 3-5-2 formation at Janssomer in goal, Bastoni, Al-Cherbian, Bissec were

386
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:55,840
at the back.

387
00:16:55,840 --> 00:16:59,080
With Carlos Auguston, the left of Darmeon on the right, with Mikitar, Insha'Allah, Noglo,

388
00:16:59,080 --> 00:17:04,120
and Barilla in the middle, with Sanchez and Thuram playing up front.

389
00:17:04,120 --> 00:17:09,680
The missing players from this game were Saumauro, Carlson, Quadrado, and Sensi.

390
00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:14,440
Everyone else was actually available, with Inter looking to rest some players.

391
00:17:14,440 --> 00:17:15,440
Might as well.

392
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:17,520
They've got the advantage at the top.

393
00:17:17,520 --> 00:17:22,640
They've got these guys hungry to make a difference, and it's always the replacements that win

394
00:17:22,640 --> 00:17:23,880
it for Inter.

395
00:17:23,880 --> 00:17:24,880
Literally.

396
00:17:24,880 --> 00:17:30,080
It's uncanny how successful they've been with their depth.

397
00:17:30,080 --> 00:17:34,200
In fact, Inter did dominate the first half, Bologna were pressing very aggressively and

398
00:17:34,200 --> 00:17:39,520
bravely, and Inter were slipping in behind, and they were quite dangerous.

399
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,280
It was quite naive, to be honest, by not that much to approach the game that way, and it

400
00:17:43,280 --> 00:17:46,680
could have been worse for them, to be honest.

401
00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:49,360
But they remained calm.

402
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:53,720
They made a few individual errors, for example, Christiansen losing the ball, and they almost

403
00:17:53,720 --> 00:17:57,280
conceded immediately, but they remained into the game.

404
00:17:57,280 --> 00:18:04,240
Eventually, in the 37th minute, though Bologna did crack, as this is just what Inter do nowadays.

405
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:08,520
Bastogna advances, he's the left centre-back, he crosses it in, to the right centre-back,

406
00:18:08,520 --> 00:18:12,920
Bissec, who also advanced, who dunked the ball into the back of the net.

407
00:18:12,920 --> 00:18:13,920
Such a cool head throw.

408
00:18:13,920 --> 00:18:14,920
Brilliant header.

409
00:18:14,920 --> 00:18:18,440
He was like, levitating off the ground, and he headed it downwards.

410
00:18:18,440 --> 00:18:19,440
Smacked it into the back of the net.

411
00:18:19,440 --> 00:18:22,400
Such a sweet hit.

412
00:18:22,400 --> 00:18:26,840
Bissec said that this goal wasn't something that they had practiced on the training ground,

413
00:18:26,840 --> 00:18:33,600
and in Zerg, he confirmed this, and said basically that he owes this Inter team many dinners

414
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:36,560
because of the work they've been putting on the pitch.

415
00:18:36,560 --> 00:18:38,640
In the second half, Bologna upped their game.

416
00:18:38,640 --> 00:18:42,920
Inter didn't take a single shot on target, and they kept trying to kill momentum, and

417
00:18:42,920 --> 00:18:45,960
they took more of a street-smart approach.

418
00:18:45,960 --> 00:18:49,880
It's very difficult when you go behind to Inter, you pretty much stand no chance to

419
00:18:49,880 --> 00:18:51,480
get back into the game.

420
00:18:51,480 --> 00:18:56,000
Zergs, he had a good opportunity at the end of the game, where he faked a pass and glided

421
00:18:56,000 --> 00:19:02,400
inwards coming 1v1 against the goalkeeper, but the turn was so quick and swift that he

422
00:19:02,400 --> 00:19:06,560
couldn't really tee up the shot properly, and it was actually quite central, and the

423
00:19:06,560 --> 00:19:10,400
goalkeeper saved it without any problems, to be honest.

424
00:19:10,400 --> 00:19:15,240
So Bro, quite a few things we can discuss this game, to be honest.

425
00:19:15,240 --> 00:19:19,360
Let's start by discussing Bissec as a defender.

426
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:21,080
He hadn't played in a while.

427
00:19:21,080 --> 00:19:25,760
I feel like he was featuring regularly, then kind of wasn't utilized as much anymore for

428
00:19:25,760 --> 00:19:26,760
a while.

429
00:19:26,760 --> 00:19:32,440
He's called upon again, and just like a glove, he fit right in again, and he made all the

430
00:19:32,440 --> 00:19:34,400
difference this game.

431
00:19:34,400 --> 00:19:40,160
Look, when comes to Bissec, his profile is very good for Atri at the back, right?

432
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:48,320
Because he's got size, he's physical, and he is allowed to go forward more, because

433
00:19:48,320 --> 00:19:54,600
Darmian and Atri are capable of filling in that space when he's going forward.

434
00:19:54,600 --> 00:20:01,880
I don't want to get carried away and over-hype him, because we know we've seen Malik Chow,

435
00:20:01,880 --> 00:20:07,400
for example, have a fantastic debut season, and then fall short a little bit in the future.

436
00:20:07,400 --> 00:20:09,240
He's post-injury to be honest.

437
00:20:09,240 --> 00:20:14,640
Post-injury, yeah, but who knows what can happen with Bissec, but he's so well-rounded.

438
00:20:14,640 --> 00:20:20,960
The fact that at 23 years old, as a centre-back, he can be scoring these fantastic goals that

439
00:20:20,960 --> 00:20:24,840
veteran players score, it's a great sign.

440
00:20:24,840 --> 00:20:25,840
It's improvised.

441
00:20:25,840 --> 00:20:30,720
It wasn't even training ground routine, he was just completely improvised by him, so

442
00:20:30,720 --> 00:20:32,560
he's very intelligent as well.

443
00:20:32,560 --> 00:20:38,400
And bro, his technical ability is so good for a centre-back.

444
00:20:38,400 --> 00:20:42,040
There was one game a few months ago, I forgot who it was again, but they kept playing him

445
00:20:42,040 --> 00:20:43,040
the ball by the line.

446
00:20:43,040 --> 00:20:46,240
They kept beating players, man.

447
00:20:46,240 --> 00:20:49,760
They'd press him to players, and he'd knock it past them, and just play it back, coolly

448
00:20:49,760 --> 00:20:51,800
composed, such a good player.

449
00:20:51,800 --> 00:20:55,720
No, he is fantastic, and what a coop it was by Inter, right?

450
00:20:55,720 --> 00:20:57,440
I was like, who the hell is this guy?

451
00:20:57,440 --> 00:20:59,640
That's what Marotta gives you, eh?

452
00:20:59,640 --> 00:21:00,640
Yeah, precisely.

453
00:21:00,640 --> 00:21:06,760
Yeah, Inter have only conceded an impressive five in their last ten games, despite changing

454
00:21:06,760 --> 00:21:09,560
the backline every single game pretty much.

455
00:21:09,560 --> 00:21:14,640
So again, it just goes to show that their depth has really worked out.

456
00:21:14,640 --> 00:21:18,360
On the other hand, Bologna showed that they can pretty much give anyone in the league

457
00:21:18,360 --> 00:21:23,920
a game the better the opponent, the more they live up to the occasion.

458
00:21:23,920 --> 00:21:28,760
They conceded an avoidable goal, but didn't concede much when pushing for a winner.

459
00:21:28,760 --> 00:21:32,080
In fact, in the second half, Inter had no shots on target, so that's pretty impressive

460
00:21:32,080 --> 00:21:33,580
by Bologna.

461
00:21:33,580 --> 00:21:38,560
This is hard to do, especially when you consider that Inter are a counter-attacking weapon.

462
00:21:38,560 --> 00:21:42,160
You know, there are a lot more than that as a football team, but one of the things that

463
00:21:42,160 --> 00:21:45,320
they definitely are is a counter-attacking threat, man.

464
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:49,960
Yeah, in fact, I mean, Bologna were allowed opportunities.

465
00:21:49,960 --> 00:21:52,200
I mean, not clear cut opportunities.

466
00:21:52,200 --> 00:21:56,480
They had 19 strikes and 60% ball possession.

467
00:21:56,480 --> 00:22:01,160
Only three of those 19 were on target, so you could consider most of them to be like

468
00:22:01,160 --> 00:22:02,800
half chances.

469
00:22:02,800 --> 00:22:08,600
Five of them came from Xerxes, two of them from Ferguson, three from Stefan Posh.

470
00:22:08,600 --> 00:22:14,840
Yeah, they were allowed possession, but it's so hard to penetrate Inter with the work they

471
00:22:14,840 --> 00:22:16,480
do off the ball, right?

472
00:22:16,480 --> 00:22:17,480
Absolutely.

473
00:22:17,480 --> 00:22:25,480
Because not only if Bologna lose the ball while attacking, they severely risk conceding,

474
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,920
which is a bizarre thing to think about, because like, okay, we fuck up this chance.

475
00:22:29,920 --> 00:22:31,000
Fuck it, we'll get another one.

476
00:22:31,000 --> 00:22:32,000
You know what I mean?

477
00:22:32,000 --> 00:22:35,880
But if they fuck up that chance, there's a high likelihood that Inter are going to smack

478
00:22:35,880 --> 00:22:41,040
them on the break with a quick and fluid transition and put the ball into the back of the net.

479
00:22:41,040 --> 00:22:44,640
They are absolutely devastatingly deadly.

480
00:22:44,640 --> 00:22:49,800
With that being said, Inter haven't been tested much this season, right?

481
00:22:49,800 --> 00:22:54,560
I mean, they were tested by, because they're so much better than everyone else, naturally,

482
00:22:54,560 --> 00:22:58,880
they were tested by Bologna in the 2-2 draw.

483
00:22:58,880 --> 00:23:02,560
They lost to Sasvalo, which is their only lost this season.

484
00:23:02,560 --> 00:23:07,160
Do you think that this Bologna team is the team that tested the most this season?

485
00:23:07,160 --> 00:23:08,160
Absolutely.

486
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:10,400
They knocked them out of the cup.

487
00:23:10,400 --> 00:23:13,160
They held them in the first game.

488
00:23:13,160 --> 00:23:16,280
This game, they lost through very fine margin.

489
00:23:16,280 --> 00:23:18,000
But it's a bit bizarre to think so.

490
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:19,000
It is.

491
00:23:19,000 --> 00:23:22,160
I mean, coming into the season, I would have been totally bizarre to imagine Bologna up

492
00:23:22,160 --> 00:23:28,120
there hanging out with the now eight sisters, competing for that fourth spot.

493
00:23:28,120 --> 00:23:29,120
They've lost Xerxes.

494
00:23:29,120 --> 00:23:33,680
Let's see how they cope without him, because he is such a unique player.

495
00:23:33,680 --> 00:23:39,840
And for what Motta wants from his side, he is literally the perfect fit.

496
00:23:39,840 --> 00:23:40,840
So we'll see.

497
00:23:40,840 --> 00:23:41,840
There is Van Huidonk.

498
00:23:41,840 --> 00:23:42,840
Yeah.

499
00:23:42,840 --> 00:23:44,720
He was an option to replace him.

500
00:23:44,720 --> 00:23:48,800
I also wouldn't be surprised if it's like a false nine system with Ferguson.

501
00:23:48,800 --> 00:23:51,120
Yes, Ferguson can.

502
00:23:51,120 --> 00:23:52,120
That could be something.

503
00:23:52,120 --> 00:23:53,120
That could be something.

504
00:23:53,120 --> 00:23:58,080
Because essentially what he looks for in a striker is someone that comes in quite deep

505
00:23:58,080 --> 00:23:59,240
and plays the ball.

506
00:23:59,240 --> 00:24:00,240
And I think Ferguson...

507
00:24:00,240 --> 00:24:01,240
Mobile, technically.

508
00:24:01,240 --> 00:24:04,000
Yeah, I think Ferguson would be quite ideal for that.

509
00:24:04,000 --> 00:24:05,000
Absolutely, yes.

510
00:24:05,000 --> 00:24:06,360
Thuram did go off.

511
00:24:06,360 --> 00:24:07,760
I think he suffered quite a knock.

512
00:24:07,760 --> 00:24:09,360
I haven't really heard anything about it.

513
00:24:09,360 --> 00:24:11,040
Not sure if he's injured.

514
00:24:11,040 --> 00:24:12,040
I don't think so.

515
00:24:12,040 --> 00:24:13,280
Usually no news is good news.

516
00:24:13,280 --> 00:24:15,240
The stuff would be all over.

517
00:24:15,240 --> 00:24:17,160
The Milan group chat especially.

518
00:24:17,160 --> 00:24:18,160
Yes, bro.

519
00:24:18,160 --> 00:24:22,680
But when it just comes to depth, one more thing I'm going to mention before we can move on

520
00:24:22,680 --> 00:24:29,880
is that Sanchez and Carlos Augusto, two other players who came in to replace two very, very

521
00:24:29,880 --> 00:24:32,880
important players in Di Marco and Lautaro Martinez.

522
00:24:32,880 --> 00:24:34,880
They're two most important players, that's it.

523
00:24:34,880 --> 00:24:36,720
Yeah, boy did they put in a shift, man.

524
00:24:36,720 --> 00:24:38,720
Carlos Augusto is a horse.

525
00:24:38,720 --> 00:24:39,720
Like a Pongriff.

526
00:24:39,720 --> 00:24:40,720
Nene.

527
00:24:40,720 --> 00:24:43,640
A way more of a horse than Pongriff.

528
00:24:43,640 --> 00:24:44,640
Pongriff is a donkey.

529
00:24:44,640 --> 00:24:45,640
Carlos Augusto.

530
00:24:45,640 --> 00:24:49,000
And Alexis Sanchez, man.

531
00:24:49,000 --> 00:24:54,920
At one point, Vidal had come out and said, how is Alexis Sanchez not playing at this

532
00:24:54,920 --> 00:24:55,920
inter-site?

533
00:24:55,920 --> 00:24:59,160
He's better than Miquetarian, to which everyone said like pipe down.

534
00:24:59,160 --> 00:25:03,200
But to a certain extent, Miquetarian is fantastic for the system, right?

535
00:25:03,200 --> 00:25:07,200
Because he's a great counter-attacking player, very intelligent, reads the game well.

536
00:25:07,200 --> 00:25:08,960
But Alexis Sanchez isn't far off.

537
00:25:08,960 --> 00:25:12,400
And Prime Alexis Sanchez is a better player than Miquetarian, in my opinion.

538
00:25:12,400 --> 00:25:20,880
Ah, Prime Alexis Sanchez, bro, like was competing with Prime Eden Hazard in the Premier League.

539
00:25:20,880 --> 00:25:24,120
He is, bro, still, he's still good.

540
00:25:24,120 --> 00:25:27,600
I know I've been saying this on the podcast a lot, but I think it needs to be mentioned.

541
00:25:27,600 --> 00:25:30,800
Man, Sanchez is still a utility player, a good one.

542
00:25:30,800 --> 00:25:31,800
Technically he's great.

543
00:25:31,800 --> 00:25:36,920
What I want to see is him playing more 90 minutes to see how he holds up across 90 minutes.

544
00:25:36,920 --> 00:25:42,080
If he has it in him, because I don't think he does, the type of player he's become nowadays.

545
00:25:42,080 --> 00:25:44,080
Exactly.

546
00:25:44,080 --> 00:25:48,560
That's my only curiosity, because there's absolutely no debate that he's got great

547
00:25:48,560 --> 00:25:53,560
close ball control, he's got great technique, he's got good vision, he's got good shooting.

548
00:25:53,560 --> 00:25:56,040
You know, he's a very well-rounded player.

549
00:25:56,040 --> 00:25:57,760
But it would be interesting.

550
00:25:57,760 --> 00:26:01,040
Sorry, just to correct myself, he did give him 90 minutes here, so we actually played

551
00:26:01,040 --> 00:26:02,040
90 minutes.

552
00:26:02,040 --> 00:26:06,080
I'll go and re-watch the tape to see if he was actually running at the end of his standing

553
00:26:06,080 --> 00:26:07,080
here.

554
00:26:07,080 --> 00:26:10,600
Because he just strikes me as someone that enjoys a Malbro red on the beach.

555
00:26:10,600 --> 00:26:11,600
You know what I mean?

556
00:26:11,600 --> 00:26:14,080
There's a beer and a Malbro red.

557
00:26:14,080 --> 00:26:15,960
Yeah, absolutely.

558
00:26:15,960 --> 00:26:18,400
Inter are in first with 75 points.

559
00:26:18,400 --> 00:26:19,680
It's all green for Inter.

560
00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:22,200
Their record is ridiculous.

561
00:26:22,200 --> 00:26:24,400
Not troll football, troll football is it?

562
00:26:24,400 --> 00:26:27,240
That like page that posts stupid memes.

563
00:26:27,240 --> 00:26:28,240
I guess.

564
00:26:28,240 --> 00:26:31,920
They posted like their loss, or out of context football one or the other.

565
00:26:31,920 --> 00:26:33,960
They posted the last few games of Inter at the last.

566
00:26:33,960 --> 00:26:37,120
I don't know how many just all win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win, win.

567
00:26:37,120 --> 00:26:38,360
It's crazy man.

568
00:26:38,360 --> 00:26:39,360
It's gaining recognition.

569
00:26:39,360 --> 00:26:42,160
You know, when they're bloody good side this season.

570
00:26:42,160 --> 00:26:46,800
On the other hand, Bologna are down in fourth, or up in fourth rather, let's be positive

571
00:26:46,800 --> 00:26:51,360
with 51 points, 3 points ahead of Roma in fifth.

572
00:26:51,360 --> 00:26:55,400
It would be interesting to see this Inter go head to head with some of the greatest

573
00:26:55,400 --> 00:26:57,560
teams that have won Serie A, right?

574
00:26:57,560 --> 00:26:58,880
At least in the last decade.

575
00:26:58,880 --> 00:27:02,120
So we put them up against 2014, 2015, Juve.

576
00:27:02,120 --> 00:27:06,160
We put them up against Napoli of last season, put them up against Milan of two years ago.

577
00:27:06,160 --> 00:27:10,200
I think they would smack the shit out of them.

578
00:27:10,200 --> 00:27:16,160
But it would be interesting because I genuinely believe that this Inter side is one of the

579
00:27:16,160 --> 00:27:19,720
greatest that has graced Serie A.

580
00:27:19,720 --> 00:27:20,880
In recent history.

581
00:27:20,880 --> 00:27:21,880
In recent history, absolutely.

582
00:27:21,880 --> 00:27:26,480
No, you're not going to compare it to Milan of the 80s, for example.

583
00:27:26,480 --> 00:27:29,280
But the record speaks for itself.

584
00:27:29,280 --> 00:27:36,160
They are about, they can very much break the record to become the team that has had the

585
00:27:36,160 --> 00:27:38,480
best season in Serie A history.

586
00:27:38,480 --> 00:27:44,400
Now you tell me, okay, but in the 80s and the 90s and the early 2000s, every team had

587
00:27:44,400 --> 00:27:45,920
a legend.

588
00:27:45,920 --> 00:27:47,120
Every team was fantastic.

589
00:27:47,120 --> 00:27:48,720
The standard was higher.

590
00:27:48,720 --> 00:27:52,680
But regardless, this team is about to become no matter what one of the most successful

591
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:53,680
teams.

592
00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:56,800
This is a very graced Serie A.

593
00:27:56,800 --> 00:28:00,560
Next game, Juve 2, Atalanta 2.

594
00:28:00,560 --> 00:28:05,360
Juve are coming off a 2-1 loss to Napoli, whilst Atalanta were coming off a 2-1 home loss to

595
00:28:05,360 --> 00:28:06,360
Bologna.

596
00:28:06,360 --> 00:28:11,840
Now, after this game, Atalanta are windless in four Serie A matches where they had two

597
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:14,040
draws and two losses.

598
00:28:14,040 --> 00:28:17,960
The previous encounter between these two sides was an ill-nilled draw.

599
00:28:17,960 --> 00:28:19,840
Two top teams struggling for form.

600
00:28:19,840 --> 00:28:25,280
Juve dropped down to third place behind Milan after just one win in seven matches, whilst

601
00:28:25,280 --> 00:28:29,520
Atalanta sank down to sixth after failing to win their last four.

602
00:28:29,520 --> 00:28:34,320
Vladovic was suspended with Rabio Alcara's Perian and the Shilio injured.

603
00:28:34,320 --> 00:28:37,960
McKenny returned to the midfield after dislocating his shoulder.

604
00:28:37,960 --> 00:28:43,920
3-4-1 formation for Juve with Vojciak Czeszny and Golan, a backline of Danilo, Bremer and

605
00:28:43,920 --> 00:28:44,920
Gatti.

606
00:28:44,920 --> 00:28:49,960
Iling Jr. started out on the left with Cambiasso out on the right, some young legs over there,

607
00:28:49,960 --> 00:28:56,480
Miretti and Locatelli in the middle, Chiesa and McKenny playing behind Millexing, McKenny

608
00:28:56,480 --> 00:29:01,200
showing his versatility playing closer to Golan and actually having a great game.

609
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:05,840
Also a 3-4-2-1 formation for Atalanta with Karnasecki in goal and a backline of Jim City,

610
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:08,040
Hien and Scalvini.

611
00:29:08,040 --> 00:29:12,640
Zappa cost Andrew Jerry out on the flanks with Edison and Pasalic in the double pivot,

612
00:29:12,640 --> 00:29:17,760
with the K-Telar and Cope minors playing behind Scamacca back in the team.

613
00:29:17,760 --> 00:29:22,440
On the 35th minute, Cope minors opened the scoring, it was a free kick routine which

614
00:29:22,440 --> 00:29:26,920
saw Pasalic play a horizontal pass to Cope minors who struck the ball first time into

615
00:29:26,920 --> 00:29:29,800
the top-near corner.

616
00:29:29,800 --> 00:29:33,960
Like I said earlier, I was wondering why he wasn't standing over the set piece but he

617
00:29:33,960 --> 00:29:39,800
did this really good thing where because it was positioned for a cross, all the Juve

618
00:29:39,800 --> 00:29:46,240
players tracked back in order to win the header from a potential cross but he hung back, no

619
00:29:46,240 --> 00:29:50,560
one picked him up, he was in acres of space and he just smashed the ball into the back

620
00:29:50,560 --> 00:29:51,560
of the net.

621
00:29:51,560 --> 00:29:57,280
65th minute Juve got one back through Campiaso, it was a great passage of attacking play which

622
00:29:57,280 --> 00:30:01,760
ended with Campiaso toe poking the ball past Karnasecki following a great through pass

623
00:30:01,760 --> 00:30:06,480
by McKenny, some great vision there by the American and 5 minutes later Juve made the

624
00:30:06,480 --> 00:30:09,920
2-1 through Arcadius Millick.

625
00:30:09,920 --> 00:30:15,960
It was Illing Juniors cross which was cleverly delivered and chested down by McKenny, laying

626
00:30:15,960 --> 00:30:20,000
it off perfectly to Millick who struck a powerful volley into the back of the net following a

627
00:30:20,000 --> 00:30:25,520
touch by Karnasecki, Juve lead and another assist by McKenny, McKenny bagging 2 assists

628
00:30:25,520 --> 00:30:26,520
over there.

629
00:30:26,520 --> 00:30:33,320
4 minutes later however Atalanta equalized through once again their own Cope minors,

630
00:30:33,320 --> 00:30:37,560
Jim City who took a more offensive role after his calvini was substituted played a great

631
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,440
through pass to Cope minors who finished past Cesni without problem in order to make it

632
00:30:42,440 --> 00:30:45,320
2-2.

633
00:30:45,320 --> 00:30:51,160
The game of moments really, there were moments where I thought that Atalanta looked the stronger

634
00:30:51,160 --> 00:30:56,640
team, there were moments where I thought that Juve looked the stronger team.

635
00:30:56,640 --> 00:31:01,600
One interesting fact that I came across was that Atalanta are unbeaten at the Allianz

636
00:31:01,600 --> 00:31:02,600
since 2018.

637
00:31:02,600 --> 00:31:12,240
Ah, wow, that's crazy so with the good Atalanta side, this record has actually remained like

638
00:31:12,240 --> 00:31:13,560
that Cope Atalanta side.

639
00:31:13,560 --> 00:31:14,560
Exactly.

640
00:31:14,560 --> 00:31:15,560
I have no idea.

641
00:31:15,560 --> 00:31:19,520
Yeah and obviously Juve and their slight dip period.

642
00:31:19,520 --> 00:31:25,320
Another interesting fact is that now actually in the opening, I believe this is Madrid 28,

643
00:31:25,320 --> 00:31:33,680
yes Madrid 28, in 28 matches last year Juve were one point greater than they are now which

644
00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,280
opens up the debate.

645
00:31:35,280 --> 00:31:37,720
No, did Juve improve since last season?

646
00:31:37,720 --> 00:31:40,720
Did Juve get worse from last season?

647
00:31:40,720 --> 00:31:44,680
It's an interesting topic of conversation because it's not as simple as looking at the

648
00:31:44,680 --> 00:31:45,680
points, right?

649
00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:51,600
But then it kind of is because if you're not progressing then what the hell are you doing?

650
00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,480
I think they, I think they're the same.

651
00:31:56,480 --> 00:31:57,480
Right?

652
00:31:57,480 --> 00:32:01,920
It's like sometimes you're like, even a big improvement or a big drop off, I think it's

653
00:32:01,920 --> 00:32:04,080
the same Juve aside to be honest with you.

654
00:32:04,080 --> 00:32:10,760
I think if anything they might have improved their style of play when it comes to going

655
00:32:10,760 --> 00:32:18,200
forward, like Vladovic is better, you know they've got yield days nowadays, they're finding

656
00:32:18,200 --> 00:32:21,000
more goals, they're scoring more goals, I believe.

657
00:32:21,000 --> 00:32:22,480
They're not as tight I believe.

658
00:32:22,480 --> 00:32:24,800
But then defensively they're conceding more, right?

659
00:32:24,800 --> 00:32:28,520
Yeah, they were much more solid last season defensively, that's for sure.

660
00:32:28,520 --> 00:32:32,920
But yes, I have no big difference I think from season to season.

661
00:32:32,920 --> 00:32:37,360
For example, we had to argue Milan last season, definitely they've improved.

662
00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:38,360
Absolutely.

663
00:32:38,360 --> 00:32:42,640
Sometimes it's clearer than other times.

664
00:32:42,640 --> 00:32:46,720
What did you make of McKenney in this more offensive role?

665
00:32:46,720 --> 00:32:51,280
Man, McKenney has just impressed me so much man.

666
00:32:51,280 --> 00:32:58,200
I didn't think that he had this level of play in his locker, especially seeing him in his

667
00:32:58,200 --> 00:33:04,560
first season with Juve and all that getting relegated over there coming back, I thought

668
00:33:04,560 --> 00:33:07,720
they were going to ship him out and we'd never see him again.

669
00:33:07,720 --> 00:33:11,320
But he's been very good man.

670
00:33:11,320 --> 00:33:14,280
His technique is super as well.

671
00:33:14,280 --> 00:33:17,080
His industry is hard working.

672
00:33:17,080 --> 00:33:20,480
You think he's given enough credit, McKenney.

673
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:24,120
Especially like this season everyone's still talking about Rabi or everyone's talking

674
00:33:24,120 --> 00:33:25,120
about Vladovic.

675
00:33:25,120 --> 00:33:30,960
But McKenney has been consistently, I would say, one of Juve's best players.

676
00:33:30,960 --> 00:33:37,160
That leads me to believe that maybe bro, some of these American players aren't given enough

677
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:43,080
credit because it's like go play your American football or go play your baseball kind of

678
00:33:43,080 --> 00:33:44,080
thing.

679
00:33:44,080 --> 00:33:45,080
I don't think so man.

680
00:33:45,080 --> 00:33:49,680
I've spoken to many Juve fans who praise McKenney and have hailed him to be one of the

681
00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:53,600
better players this season as I've spoken to many Milan fans who say that Pulisic has

682
00:33:53,600 --> 00:33:58,440
put layout to shame this season, becoming the star of Milan.

683
00:33:58,440 --> 00:34:06,240
I think people don't have a problem with American football players as long as they perform to

684
00:34:06,240 --> 00:34:10,160
the level that the fans want of course.

685
00:34:10,160 --> 00:34:15,760
I think yes, if they flop, they are made fun of more viciously.

686
00:34:15,760 --> 00:34:18,680
The fact that they're American.

687
00:34:18,680 --> 00:34:21,960
Damn it guys, coach is right.

688
00:34:21,960 --> 00:34:24,160
Ask me to get them soccer ball.

689
00:34:24,160 --> 00:34:29,080
I love to be careful because like 70% of our listeners are American.

690
00:34:29,080 --> 00:34:31,720
And that's what I'm going to say.

691
00:34:31,720 --> 00:34:34,440
Americans are some of the best people to talk football with.

692
00:34:34,440 --> 00:34:36,080
I love talking football with Americans.

693
00:34:36,080 --> 00:34:37,360
They're so passionate as well.

694
00:34:37,360 --> 00:34:38,360
Shout out Boston.

695
00:34:38,360 --> 00:34:40,040
Shout out Philly baby.

696
00:34:40,040 --> 00:34:41,040
Come on.

697
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:48,000
Yeah, I don't think that the stigma is very much there especially you have Americans

698
00:34:48,000 --> 00:34:50,520
in every league right now.

699
00:34:50,520 --> 00:34:55,680
The USA national team is full of players who play in Europe.

700
00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,960
They've definitely increased their level.

701
00:34:57,960 --> 00:34:58,960
Yeah I think so.

702
00:34:58,960 --> 00:35:02,480
It's been a long time coming since the Donovan days.

703
00:35:02,480 --> 00:35:06,600
London Donovan, Clint Dempsey as well back in the day.

704
00:35:06,600 --> 00:35:07,600
Who was our goalkeeper?

705
00:35:07,600 --> 00:35:08,600
Was it Tim Howard?

706
00:35:08,600 --> 00:35:09,600
Tim Howard.

707
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:15,000
Yes, he had the record for the most amount of saves in a World Cup.

708
00:35:15,000 --> 00:35:16,760
In a single World Cup game.

709
00:35:16,760 --> 00:35:19,760
Yeah, the crazy amount of saves bro.

710
00:35:19,760 --> 00:35:22,040
Do you remember the number roughly?

711
00:35:22,040 --> 00:35:25,880
I think I want to say seven but it doesn't sound that crazy man.

712
00:35:25,880 --> 00:35:26,880
Why is that seven?

713
00:35:26,880 --> 00:35:29,280
Like I've seen no Chowa nine every single week.

714
00:35:29,280 --> 00:35:42,520
Who has said the first Mexican goalkeeper in Europe to concede 1000 goals at club level?

715
00:35:42,520 --> 00:35:43,520
Something like that.

716
00:35:43,520 --> 00:35:48,160
Shout out Mexico.

717
00:35:48,160 --> 00:35:52,720
Cielik scored his first goal in five months ending his drought.

718
00:35:52,720 --> 00:35:55,320
Five months is crazy.

719
00:35:55,320 --> 00:36:01,360
Last season there was a point where they were playing him alongside Vladovic up front when

720
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:05,720
he as I was injured, shocker.

721
00:36:05,720 --> 00:36:07,920
But he was very good last season.

722
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:11,920
It's crazy when five months without a goal but this would be good for his confidence.

723
00:36:11,920 --> 00:36:13,800
He's a good striker man.

724
00:36:13,800 --> 00:36:15,720
He is a very good finisher.

725
00:36:15,720 --> 00:36:17,640
One of those natural finishers.

726
00:36:17,640 --> 00:36:22,480
He can pretty much give him the ball high, low and he'll find a way to get it in.

727
00:36:22,480 --> 00:36:23,480
He's opportunistic as well.

728
00:36:23,480 --> 00:36:27,640
I just don't think it's been his season and the fact that Vladovic has popped off so aggressively

729
00:36:27,640 --> 00:36:29,680
doesn't help him at all.

730
00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:35,720
To be honest Millik couldn't really find his footing either when Vladovic was quite quiet.

731
00:36:35,720 --> 00:36:37,320
He wasn't doing well at the time.

732
00:36:37,320 --> 00:36:41,240
But I think Millik is definitely deployed as a striker.

733
00:36:41,240 --> 00:36:42,240
Definitely.

734
00:36:42,240 --> 00:36:48,680
Just to hop over to the Bergamo side of the conversation.

735
00:36:48,680 --> 00:36:50,880
Cope Miners.

736
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:51,880
That was an addition.

737
00:36:51,880 --> 00:36:52,880
It was.

738
00:36:52,880 --> 00:36:54,520
They wanted him.

739
00:36:54,520 --> 00:36:55,720
United wanted him.

740
00:36:55,720 --> 00:36:57,800
United have taken a liking to Atalanta.

741
00:36:57,800 --> 00:37:01,600
It seems like they finally found out these guys know what they're doing.

742
00:37:01,600 --> 00:37:03,080
Actually they had signed someone before.

743
00:37:03,080 --> 00:37:04,080
It was a Tourette.

744
00:37:04,080 --> 00:37:05,080
Trourette.

745
00:37:05,080 --> 00:37:06,080
Trourette.

746
00:37:06,080 --> 00:37:07,080
Trourette.

747
00:37:07,080 --> 00:37:09,720
I make that mistake too much for my own good.

748
00:37:09,720 --> 00:37:11,720
Careful bro.

749
00:37:11,720 --> 00:37:15,840
But yes my am surprised there's shopping there.

750
00:37:15,840 --> 00:37:17,000
They've been ripped off.

751
00:37:17,000 --> 00:37:18,000
Why?

752
00:37:18,000 --> 00:37:21,120
Because they spent what was it 40 million on?

753
00:37:21,120 --> 00:37:22,120
On Hojland.

754
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:23,120
No.

755
00:37:23,120 --> 00:37:25,360
On the one you just mentioned.

756
00:37:25,360 --> 00:37:30,840
They had spent like 40 million on him or something just for him to be playing with the reserves

757
00:37:30,840 --> 00:37:31,840
for a while.

758
00:37:31,840 --> 00:37:32,840
With the kids.

759
00:37:32,840 --> 00:37:34,920
Hojland to be honest is doing very well.

760
00:37:34,920 --> 00:37:37,120
They love him at United bro.

761
00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:39,120
He's a good player.

762
00:37:39,120 --> 00:37:42,920
I mean even the type of person he is.

763
00:37:42,920 --> 00:37:44,840
The way he carries himself.

764
00:37:44,840 --> 00:37:45,840
He's humble.

765
00:37:45,840 --> 00:37:46,840
He's down to earth.

766
00:37:46,840 --> 00:37:49,680
He's kind of bashful to a certain extent.

767
00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,000
He makes you like him.

768
00:37:51,000 --> 00:37:52,240
He makes you support him.

769
00:37:52,240 --> 00:37:55,560
His gold celebrations like they're so not rehearsed.

770
00:37:55,560 --> 00:37:57,240
Bro just fucking freaks out.

771
00:37:57,240 --> 00:37:59,040
No idea what he's doing.

772
00:37:59,040 --> 00:38:00,360
Yeah there was one in particular.

773
00:38:00,360 --> 00:38:05,960
He scored in the last minute for United and he lost his absolute nut bro.

774
00:38:05,960 --> 00:38:06,960
It was amazing.

775
00:38:06,960 --> 00:38:07,960
It was amazing.

776
00:38:07,960 --> 00:38:10,280
Rob video you can imitate it.

777
00:38:10,280 --> 00:38:14,480
Oh yeah I mean what am I going to do with style here?

778
00:38:14,480 --> 00:38:17,240
High four I got Rob video.

779
00:38:17,240 --> 00:38:18,240
Yeah man.

780
00:38:18,240 --> 00:38:21,680
I just my heart's broken looking at my high five.

781
00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:22,680
Yeah.

782
00:38:22,680 --> 00:38:23,680
Yeah.

783
00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:24,680
Yeah.

784
00:38:24,680 --> 00:38:27,560
But yeah he's got 10 goals this season man.

785
00:38:27,560 --> 00:38:28,560
Cope minus.

786
00:38:28,560 --> 00:38:30,800
10 goals and three assists.

787
00:38:30,800 --> 00:38:32,920
Where does he rank?

788
00:38:32,920 --> 00:38:37,360
Best midfielder in Serie A?

789
00:38:37,360 --> 00:38:40,360
The best one at the moment.

790
00:38:40,360 --> 00:38:42,840
Yes but quite a bit to be honest.

791
00:38:42,840 --> 00:38:46,200
I can't even think of someone to drive.

792
00:38:46,200 --> 00:38:48,360
Just to draw names out there.

793
00:38:48,360 --> 00:38:49,840
Shalano Glorabio.

794
00:38:49,840 --> 00:38:50,840
Yeah.

795
00:38:50,840 --> 00:38:51,840
Luis Alberto.

796
00:38:51,840 --> 00:38:52,840
Dip.

797
00:38:52,840 --> 00:38:53,840
Yeah.

798
00:38:53,840 --> 00:38:54,840
Ben Nasser.

799
00:38:54,840 --> 00:38:58,040
Ben Nasser has been consistent this season.

800
00:38:58,040 --> 00:38:59,040
Barella.

801
00:38:59,040 --> 00:39:01,840
Barella as well had a bit of a bad start.

802
00:39:01,840 --> 00:39:02,840
Pellegrini.

803
00:39:02,840 --> 00:39:06,600
Pellegrini has just come back now after disappearing on their Mourinho.

804
00:39:06,600 --> 00:39:13,680
Yes, I think his real rivals would be Rabio and Shalano Blu.

805
00:39:13,680 --> 00:39:19,200
And I think he's the best one because he's the most versatile.

806
00:39:19,200 --> 00:39:20,760
He's so intelligent.

807
00:39:20,760 --> 00:39:25,360
Yeah, I would say it's him shortly followed by Shalano Blu.

808
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:26,920
One season in the Prem.

809
00:39:26,920 --> 00:39:30,160
It behaves as one of the best midfielder in the world.

810
00:39:30,160 --> 00:39:31,960
I would say one season in the Prem.

811
00:39:31,960 --> 00:39:34,320
One season in the Prem is all it will fucking take bro.

812
00:39:34,320 --> 00:39:36,760
I can't believe we got this guy from Atlanta.

813
00:39:36,760 --> 00:39:39,480
That was the worst English accent I have ever.

814
00:39:39,480 --> 00:39:40,480
That was amazing.

815
00:39:40,480 --> 00:39:41,480
That was the slightest, bro.

816
00:39:41,480 --> 00:39:44,760
That was not English in the slightest.

817
00:39:44,760 --> 00:39:47,960
Thank you for listening.

818
00:39:47,960 --> 00:39:53,760
But now just to get into this game a bit more as a whole.

819
00:39:53,760 --> 00:39:57,760
Interesting to watch two teams that are kind of they're both top teams going through a

820
00:39:57,760 --> 00:40:00,320
tough time right now.

821
00:40:00,320 --> 00:40:03,760
It was tough to predict how this game was going to go.

822
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:08,400
It's also good to mention that Juve were missing a few personnel.

823
00:40:08,400 --> 00:40:12,000
Was this more of a disappointment for Juve that they couldn't get it over the line or

824
00:40:12,000 --> 00:40:15,000
for Atalanta?

825
00:40:15,000 --> 00:40:19,760
I think it would be for Juve, especially with the record in place that you said they haven't

826
00:40:19,760 --> 00:40:22,440
beaten Atalanta at home since 2018.

827
00:40:22,440 --> 00:40:25,320
That's quite a disappointment in itself.

828
00:40:25,320 --> 00:40:28,440
The fact that they wouldn't have wanted to give up that second spot.

829
00:40:28,440 --> 00:40:30,400
They've been leapfrogged by Milan.

830
00:40:30,400 --> 00:40:35,080
But on the other hand it's more detrimental for Atalanta who would like to qualify for

831
00:40:35,080 --> 00:40:40,040
Champions League and who need three points quite badly at the moment.

832
00:40:40,040 --> 00:40:45,760
Juve have naturally gone down to third now which sucks for them.

833
00:40:45,760 --> 00:40:49,000
They were quite wasteful man without Vladovic on the pitch.

834
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:50,760
Last game Vladovic was wasteful.

835
00:40:50,760 --> 00:40:56,400
They were very wasteful in this game that had 18 shots and an XG of 1.32 whereas Atalanta

836
00:40:56,400 --> 00:40:58,600
was 0.48.

837
00:40:58,600 --> 00:41:02,080
So there you go, that's pretty much enough said.

838
00:41:02,080 --> 00:41:06,120
What comes to the standings as I said earlier Juventus down in third just one point behind

839
00:41:06,120 --> 00:41:12,360
Milan while Atalanta down in sixth on 47 points, one behind Roma in fifth.

840
00:41:12,360 --> 00:41:19,840
Speaking of Milan they took on Empoli after an interesting game midweek against, help

841
00:41:19,840 --> 00:41:20,840
me.

842
00:41:20,840 --> 00:41:21,840
Slavia Prague.

843
00:41:21,840 --> 00:41:23,960
Slavia Prague, thank you every time I look at it on my phone.

844
00:41:23,960 --> 00:41:24,960
It's Xgnia Prague.

845
00:41:24,960 --> 00:41:25,960
Slavia Prague.

846
00:41:25,960 --> 00:41:30,720
Slavia Prague.

847
00:41:30,720 --> 00:41:36,880
It's not usually the case that Milan scored four at San Siro and the fans are moaning.

848
00:41:36,880 --> 00:41:43,000
But rightfully so because Slavia Prague got a red card and Milan conceded two goals against

849
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:46,120
a ten man Slavia Prague.

850
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:51,960
And the problem is we've seen how hostile certain atmospheres can be.

851
00:41:51,960 --> 00:41:58,000
We saw Milan going away to Wren and you see that stadium absolutely popping everyone jumping

852
00:41:58,000 --> 00:41:59,500
and they were 3-0 down.

853
00:41:59,500 --> 00:42:04,160
They came out, they scored early, they gave Milan a really good game.

854
00:42:04,160 --> 00:42:07,960
Slavia Prague are known for their hostile home atmosphere.

855
00:42:07,960 --> 00:42:08,960
Absolutely man.

856
00:42:08,960 --> 00:42:14,480
You also remember the game against Red Star Belligrade when Stankovic was the coach, two

857
00:42:14,480 --> 00:42:19,760
draws and Milan managed to get through because of their away goal rule back then.

858
00:42:19,760 --> 00:42:27,800
But he had a totally hostile atmosphere and Milan are a team that's easily impressed I

859
00:42:27,800 --> 00:42:28,800
feel like.

860
00:42:28,800 --> 00:42:32,160
They're a team that when they go out into a place like this into unfamiliar territory

861
00:42:32,160 --> 00:42:38,200
takes them a while to adjust and as it stands right now they get one goal, one early goal.

862
00:42:38,200 --> 00:42:41,320
They're back into the tie and they can fucking take everything home.

863
00:42:41,320 --> 00:42:48,120
So Milan pretty much were on their fire because of their leaky defense and then they came

864
00:42:48,120 --> 00:42:53,000
against Ampoli over here and they won 1-0 and maintained a clean sheet and didn't really

865
00:42:53,000 --> 00:42:58,560
concede much apart from one opportunity at the end but we'll get to it very soon.

866
00:42:58,560 --> 00:43:02,680
So for Milan it was the 4-2-3-1 formation with Manjan in goal, Calabrian on the right and

867
00:43:02,680 --> 00:43:06,800
Theo Hernandez on the left with Chow and Tomori as a centre-back partnership.

868
00:43:06,800 --> 00:43:07,800
Welcome back bro.

869
00:43:07,800 --> 00:43:09,320
Aha, did this back forward.

870
00:43:09,320 --> 00:43:12,320
It's just nice to see them all next to each other for once.

871
00:43:12,320 --> 00:43:13,320
For now.

872
00:43:13,320 --> 00:43:18,360
Reinders and Benacer were in the midfield double pivot with Pulisic, Loftus Csik and

873
00:43:18,360 --> 00:43:21,040
Oka 4 playing behind Luka Jovic.

874
00:43:21,040 --> 00:43:30,680
For Ampoli it was 3-4-2-1 formation with Capri Langol, Lopeto Valukovic and Ismaili

875
00:43:30,680 --> 00:43:35,240
at the back with Petzella on the left, Giozzi on the right, Malahand Fazzini in the middle

876
00:43:35,240 --> 00:43:39,280
with Zirkovs, Kambiari playing behind, Bayen Young.

877
00:43:39,280 --> 00:43:44,560
They're banking on that or wall of their legs.

878
00:43:44,560 --> 00:43:45,560
For sure.

879
00:43:45,560 --> 00:43:50,080
Yeah, but Milan started well and they piled the pressure on Ampoli.

880
00:43:50,080 --> 00:43:58,400
The intensity dropped off after a while from Milan's end and it gave Ampoli a weird sense

881
00:43:58,400 --> 00:44:04,360
of security right to a certain extent and then Milan in the 41st minute surprised them with

882
00:44:04,360 --> 00:44:06,640
an incisive attack.

883
00:44:06,640 --> 00:44:12,720
Pulisic eventually capitalized on Oka 4's cutback, scoring in the 41st minute as I mentioned,

884
00:44:12,720 --> 00:44:18,640
with a deflected strike to score his 8th goal of the season in Serie A. This deflected

885
00:44:18,640 --> 00:44:22,280
off Lopeto and it looked like the slowest goal I've ever seen in my life.

886
00:44:22,280 --> 00:44:27,000
It took a deflection road and just passed Capri Le into the back of the net.

887
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:29,800
Ampoli were reluctant to commit too many players forward.

888
00:44:29,800 --> 00:44:33,920
They probably wanted to stay into the game until the end and they limited their clear

889
00:44:33,920 --> 00:44:37,760
cutting chances in the opening 25 minutes of the second half.

890
00:44:37,760 --> 00:44:44,720
Ruben Loftus-Crick attempted to extend Milan's lead with a fierce long range strike, but

891
00:44:44,720 --> 00:44:46,880
Capri Le saved that very well.

892
00:44:46,880 --> 00:44:52,880
And then Destro at the end threatened a dramatic leveler when he was completely unmarked in

893
00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:53,880
the box.

894
00:44:53,880 --> 00:44:58,000
The number 9 of Ampoli completely unmarked in the box is a former player.

895
00:44:58,000 --> 00:45:00,000
We haven't seen this guy in ages.

896
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,000
Destro.

897
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:02,000
Where's he been?

898
00:45:02,000 --> 00:45:06,360
And suddenly he's there unmarked in the Milan box.

899
00:45:06,360 --> 00:45:11,160
But he crashed it against the upright, I believe, and it was offside anyway.

900
00:45:11,160 --> 00:45:12,160
But like, come on.

901
00:45:12,160 --> 00:45:16,160
But I remember looking at each other and saying, my God, Destro is going to get one against

902
00:45:16,160 --> 00:45:17,160
Milan.

903
00:45:17,160 --> 00:45:21,200
And that just goes to show how Nicola was right not to commit too many men forward early on

904
00:45:21,200 --> 00:45:22,200
in the second half.

905
00:45:22,200 --> 00:45:25,400
Because he scored that, boom, it's a point against Milan.

906
00:45:25,400 --> 00:45:28,400
You know, that's what I mean sometimes, man.

907
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:30,960
The Milan defending, you know, they switch off.

908
00:45:30,960 --> 00:45:33,960
And these teams only need one moment.

909
00:45:33,960 --> 00:45:37,720
It's like everyone's got a chance of scoring against Milan.

910
00:45:37,720 --> 00:45:44,640
Like if Milan go under pressure for 15 minutes, they really, really risk conceding a goal,

911
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:45,640
man.

912
00:45:45,640 --> 00:45:47,160
15 minutes of pressure is all it takes.

913
00:45:47,160 --> 00:45:48,160
It's true.

914
00:45:48,160 --> 00:45:49,160
It's true.

915
00:45:49,160 --> 00:45:51,360
They really crack on their pressure when you see people start looking around at each other,

916
00:45:51,360 --> 00:45:52,360
you know.

917
00:45:52,360 --> 00:45:59,840
And it's like a massive part of that has to be the lack of that staple back for now.

918
00:45:59,840 --> 00:46:01,920
Obviously it's not exactly Milan's fault, right?

919
00:46:01,920 --> 00:46:04,320
Because there were all those injuries.

920
00:46:04,320 --> 00:46:11,600
And also another factor of that is the lack of a defensive midfielder, a crusher, a Kessie

921
00:46:11,600 --> 00:46:17,920
that drops back and forms part of almost virtually a back five at times.

922
00:46:17,920 --> 00:46:18,920
Yeah.

923
00:46:18,920 --> 00:46:20,520
The defense has no protection from the midfield.

924
00:46:20,520 --> 00:46:21,520
That's absolutely right.

925
00:46:21,520 --> 00:46:22,520
Zero.

926
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:23,520
Yeah.

927
00:46:23,520 --> 00:46:24,520
Zero.

928
00:46:24,520 --> 00:46:28,280
But to give credit to Benasseh, because he comes back and he wins the ball back and carries

929
00:46:28,280 --> 00:46:29,280
it forward brilliantly.

930
00:46:29,280 --> 00:46:32,800
But like as almost a box-to-box, you know.

931
00:46:32,800 --> 00:46:39,480
It's not the same physical imposition, I guess, that Kessie used to have, for example.

932
00:46:39,480 --> 00:46:42,800
He was the perfect player for Milan.

933
00:46:42,800 --> 00:46:43,800
Literally.

934
00:46:43,800 --> 00:46:44,800
Yeah.

935
00:46:44,800 --> 00:46:47,920
It also has to be said, of course, as you mentioned, injuries have affected this Milan

936
00:46:47,920 --> 00:46:48,920
back line.

937
00:46:48,920 --> 00:46:52,600
You know, Tomori's only just come back and he's by far Milan's best defender.

938
00:46:52,600 --> 00:46:55,240
One of the best defenders in the league, I would say.

939
00:46:55,240 --> 00:47:00,200
Malik Chow has come back from injury where he wasn't confident, had a shocker, which

940
00:47:00,200 --> 00:47:04,080
probably shocked his confidence down even more.

941
00:47:04,080 --> 00:47:08,800
But thankfully for Milan, the injury trajectory is not looking too bad.

942
00:47:08,800 --> 00:47:12,240
You know, you have Leo and Florence, who weren't available this game because of an accumulation

943
00:47:12,240 --> 00:47:13,240
of yellow cards.

944
00:47:13,240 --> 00:47:16,520
Pobega is the only injured one, and he's coming back soon.

945
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:22,240
So Milan should be full team and ready to go on this crazy Europa League run, am I right?

946
00:47:22,240 --> 00:47:26,320
And I'll bet you five euros, someone gets injured in the Europa League tomorrow night.

947
00:47:26,320 --> 00:47:33,080
Someone's probably injured right now, as we speak right now, someone's on the floor.

948
00:47:33,080 --> 00:47:38,960
The only one unavailable for him, it was Grassy, by the way, who is quite a decent player,

949
00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:40,960
nothing to really write home about.

950
00:47:40,960 --> 00:47:46,640
Yes, but what was important for Milan to do this game was to get the three points and

951
00:47:46,640 --> 00:47:50,160
a clean sheet would have been the cherry on the icing on the cake, and they got that

952
00:47:50,160 --> 00:47:51,160
as well.

953
00:47:51,160 --> 00:47:54,840
So, in reality, there isn't anything to complain about from this game.

954
00:47:54,840 --> 00:47:56,960
Yeah, no, totally agreed.

955
00:47:56,960 --> 00:48:00,560
Like I said earlier, I mean, at this point, it's about getting the three points.

956
00:48:00,560 --> 00:48:03,800
It really doesn't have to be sexy, man.

957
00:48:03,800 --> 00:48:08,120
You do what you have to do to get those three points, and Poliara team, that at the moment

958
00:48:08,120 --> 00:48:14,440
they had this revitalisation under Davide Nikola.

959
00:48:14,440 --> 00:48:19,880
They dropped the ball in the last game, which in my opinion would only make them more hungry

960
00:48:19,880 --> 00:48:22,400
to go to Milan and grab a point over there.

961
00:48:22,400 --> 00:48:29,160
And after they went and go down, they knocked, they threatened, but Milan showed an element

962
00:48:29,160 --> 00:48:34,240
of composure and managed to get the ball over the line, and subsequently, obviously, bypassing

963
00:48:34,240 --> 00:48:35,400
Juve.

964
00:48:35,400 --> 00:48:39,160
For me, a standout player, and I was really happy to see him play well, man, was no Aukofo.

965
00:48:39,160 --> 00:48:43,040
I think Aukofo was a very, very good man along that offensive line.

966
00:48:43,040 --> 00:48:47,880
Not to mention, I think Benacer was back to his best against his ex-team as well.

967
00:48:47,880 --> 00:48:53,800
For example, he was the team that actually gave him a platform in the top league.

968
00:48:53,800 --> 00:48:57,960
So yeah, good things from Milan, good things from Empoli as well.

969
00:48:57,960 --> 00:49:02,200
I would show that they're quite a tough nut to crack, as it took a weird deflected shot

970
00:49:02,200 --> 00:49:04,880
to get Milan over the line against them.

971
00:49:04,880 --> 00:49:07,520
I have no idea how it went down as Poli6 goes.

972
00:49:07,520 --> 00:49:09,240
Because it was on target.

973
00:49:09,240 --> 00:49:12,200
Sure, it was going straight to Caprile, bro.

974
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:13,200
Without any power.

975
00:49:13,200 --> 00:49:14,200
Caprile, yeah.

976
00:49:14,200 --> 00:49:18,040
Caprile was so sweet with Luperto after it went in.

977
00:49:18,040 --> 00:49:19,040
He could have really yelled.

978
00:49:19,040 --> 00:49:23,480
He called himself like about to yell, and then he just looked at him and was like, ah, I

979
00:49:23,480 --> 00:49:24,480
can't see what happened.

980
00:49:24,480 --> 00:49:25,480
Nothing to do with their Luperto.

981
00:49:25,480 --> 00:49:26,480
We know you're good.

982
00:49:26,480 --> 00:49:30,400
In fact, I love you in front of me all the time.

983
00:49:30,400 --> 00:49:32,440
But that was just unlucky.

984
00:49:32,440 --> 00:49:33,920
Yes, Milan are in second.

985
00:49:33,920 --> 00:49:35,440
They have leapfrog Juventus.

986
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:38,120
They're on 59 points.

987
00:49:38,120 --> 00:49:41,640
Still fucking so many points behind.

988
00:49:41,640 --> 00:49:42,640
Yeah.

989
00:49:42,640 --> 00:49:47,480
Milan are under investigation.

990
00:49:47,480 --> 00:49:49,000
Ah, yes, God Almighty.

991
00:49:49,000 --> 00:49:50,520
Christ on a bike.

992
00:49:50,520 --> 00:49:51,520
Okay.

993
00:49:51,520 --> 00:49:53,160
Breaking news.

994
00:49:53,160 --> 00:49:57,400
Something about the sale from Elliot Threadbird.

995
00:49:57,400 --> 00:49:58,400
Something dodgy.

996
00:49:58,400 --> 00:50:03,320
Some people saying that Elliot might still technically own Milan, but they own Lil.

997
00:50:03,320 --> 00:50:07,560
So there's a weird conflict of interest when it comes to, I don't even know, man.

998
00:50:07,560 --> 00:50:09,600
Some irregularities that are under investigation.

999
00:50:09,600 --> 00:50:18,840
Forlani has come out and said, don't worry, this was a very high, high priced.

1000
00:50:18,840 --> 00:50:23,320
No, it was a very, we're talking high numbers, basically in the transaction.

1001
00:50:23,320 --> 00:50:25,760
You know, it was what I remember Milan sold for.

1002
00:50:25,760 --> 00:50:26,760
I don't know.

1003
00:50:26,760 --> 00:50:27,760
I can't remember.

1004
00:50:27,760 --> 00:50:29,880
That's a ridiculous number, ridiculous figure.

1005
00:50:29,880 --> 00:50:33,160
So for Lonnie said, of course, there are going to be certain things that they would

1006
00:50:33,160 --> 00:50:34,160
want to look at.

1007
00:50:34,160 --> 00:50:37,640
But I can assure you that everything that was done was done legally.

1008
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:39,160
Of course, he said that.

1009
00:50:39,160 --> 00:50:41,880
I read it and I'm there sitting there going like, all right, I'm going to go down.

1010
00:50:41,880 --> 00:50:42,880
Like, what the fuck am I doing?

1011
00:50:42,880 --> 00:50:44,880
Obviously, he's going to say that.

1012
00:50:44,880 --> 00:50:45,880
I'm freaking out.

1013
00:50:45,880 --> 00:50:49,640
This is the last thing that we need right now.

1014
00:50:49,640 --> 00:50:52,000
That is the effect of living in more.

1015
00:50:52,000 --> 00:50:54,000
The government say this for like, okay.

1016
00:50:54,000 --> 00:50:55,000
Sorry.

1017
00:50:55,000 --> 00:50:56,000
Wait a minute.

1018
00:50:56,000 --> 00:50:57,000
Wait, what?

1019
00:50:57,000 --> 00:51:04,600
But yeah, it's just frightening because obviously they start talking about a European

1020
00:51:04,600 --> 00:51:05,600
band.

1021
00:51:05,600 --> 00:51:06,600
They start talking about point deductions.

1022
00:51:06,600 --> 00:51:10,400
Obviously, because we've seen that happen last season, we're going to remain consistent

1023
00:51:10,400 --> 00:51:16,480
and give updates without obviously getting too much in the things that in our opinion

1024
00:51:16,480 --> 00:51:17,480
ruins the game.

1025
00:51:17,480 --> 00:51:20,000
This off field politics.

1026
00:51:20,000 --> 00:51:28,520
We saw you well last year go through one of the most frustrating and almost unfair

1027
00:51:28,520 --> 00:51:30,320
because the players are informed.

1028
00:51:30,320 --> 00:51:35,200
Listen, we're docked 15 points, 15 minutes before playing Empoli.

1029
00:51:35,200 --> 00:51:37,200
Monza?

1030
00:51:37,200 --> 00:51:39,200
No, Empoli, I think.

1031
00:51:39,200 --> 00:51:41,200
They lost like four something, bro.

1032
00:51:41,200 --> 00:51:43,520
There were two times, two things.

1033
00:51:43,520 --> 00:51:48,080
One with the first original punishment and then with the timing was shit for both of

1034
00:51:48,080 --> 00:51:49,080
them.

1035
00:51:49,080 --> 00:51:50,600
One was before the Monza game, the other one was before the Empoli.

1036
00:51:50,600 --> 00:51:52,600
Because then they are taking them back.

1037
00:51:52,600 --> 00:51:54,600
They're like, not the way.

1038
00:51:54,600 --> 00:52:02,200
They really respect you for fans, man.

1039
00:52:02,200 --> 00:52:03,200
Because loads.

1040
00:52:03,200 --> 00:52:05,200
But no, actually, you know what, man?

1041
00:52:05,200 --> 00:52:07,200
Nine years of winning the league.

1042
00:52:07,200 --> 00:52:09,200
Nine years of winning the league.

1043
00:52:09,200 --> 00:52:13,200
It's just pure ecstasy compared to the agony of one season.

1044
00:52:13,200 --> 00:52:16,880
It's suck, but nine years of winning the league.

1045
00:52:16,880 --> 00:52:20,920
I mean, I must have gotten boring for them, man.

1046
00:52:20,920 --> 00:52:24,000
You know, the rest of say, yeah, they win the league and then they hardly qualify for

1047
00:52:24,000 --> 00:52:25,000
champions league.

1048
00:52:25,000 --> 00:52:27,520
Look at me last season and Napoli this season.

1049
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:29,200
Can I fucking say something?

1050
00:52:29,200 --> 00:52:31,200
Yeah, that's your podcast.

1051
00:52:31,200 --> 00:52:38,200
You've under investigation, they get ducked the point.

1052
00:52:38,200 --> 00:52:39,200
Here we go.

1053
00:52:39,200 --> 00:52:43,200
Milan under investigation now.

1054
00:52:43,200 --> 00:52:48,440
Milan finally managed to like balance their books after being in debt for ages and everyone's

1055
00:52:48,440 --> 00:52:53,880
keeping an eye on Milan because they can't pay players certain amounts because they don't

1056
00:52:53,880 --> 00:53:00,520
have the income from the stadium because they they're significantly in debt after the Chinese

1057
00:53:00,520 --> 00:53:01,520
ownership.

1058
00:53:01,520 --> 00:53:06,520
Go look at Inter for a second.

1059
00:53:06,520 --> 00:53:09,400
Like just page.

1060
00:53:09,400 --> 00:53:16,400
Just go to page 100 out of the 1000 of pages of the and then like see if you find anything.

1061
00:53:16,400 --> 00:53:21,600
Because if we're if we're doing Zangman is like known to be bankrupt.

1062
00:53:21,600 --> 00:53:27,440
We're talking about financially regularity source.

1063
00:53:27,440 --> 00:53:28,440
Have a look.

1064
00:53:28,440 --> 00:53:32,760
I am not one to conspire.

1065
00:53:32,760 --> 00:53:36,160
I'm not into conspiracies.

1066
00:53:36,160 --> 00:53:41,880
In fact, I will refrain from commenting, but many people are using the term Marat Ali nowadays

1067
00:53:41,880 --> 00:53:43,880
and that's all I'm going to say.

1068
00:53:43,880 --> 00:53:45,880
Some people are.

1069
00:53:45,880 --> 00:53:48,440
Whatever, we're not going to.

1070
00:53:48,440 --> 00:53:50,360
I think Marat is the guy holding them together.

1071
00:53:50,360 --> 00:53:53,440
By the way, I think he's the guy keeping them afloat, stopping them from having to make

1072
00:53:53,440 --> 00:53:54,440
big sales.

1073
00:53:54,440 --> 00:53:57,400
You know, like, like I think Marat Ali's in there might be in the shitter.

1074
00:53:57,400 --> 00:54:01,320
But yeah, it'll be a long time from now because when everything's going well, everyone's happy.

1075
00:54:01,320 --> 00:54:09,160
Yeah, just to be clear and just to be very inter are obviously miles miles ahead of any

1076
00:54:09,160 --> 00:54:11,160
other Italian team in the league.

1077
00:54:11,160 --> 00:54:17,400
They're miles ahead of fucking many of the teams that are considered to be the best in

1078
00:54:17,400 --> 00:54:18,400
the world, right?

1079
00:54:18,400 --> 00:54:22,960
Inter are a super fucking advanced team and it would be a shame, right?

1080
00:54:22,960 --> 00:54:27,440
To see them suffer the consequences of politics as well.

1081
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:29,400
So just to make that clear that we're not out here.

1082
00:54:29,400 --> 00:54:31,160
It's just something you don't want to see in the game.

1083
00:54:31,160 --> 00:54:34,280
I mean, you want to be rewarded for what you do on the pitch, not what happens with the

1084
00:54:34,280 --> 00:54:36,920
fucking lawyers and the accountants and all that crap.

1085
00:54:36,920 --> 00:54:37,920
That's that's behind the scenes.

1086
00:54:37,920 --> 00:54:41,400
That is the reason the reason people watch football is to stay away from the stuff.

1087
00:54:41,400 --> 00:54:42,400
I have politics.

1088
00:54:42,400 --> 00:54:44,400
I have not counted.

1089
00:54:44,400 --> 00:54:48,560
Okay, kid about an accountant.

1090
00:54:48,560 --> 00:54:54,360
I've not watched kid about an accountant about a lawyer about anything like that.

1091
00:54:54,360 --> 00:54:57,360
Bro has no friends.

1092
00:54:57,360 --> 00:55:02,720
Anyway, Fiorentina to Roma to this is a really fun game to watch fun because, you know, to

1093
00:55:02,720 --> 00:55:05,160
attacking sides.

1094
00:55:05,160 --> 00:55:08,640
And yet putting once again down here that they're Rossi to the test.

1095
00:55:08,640 --> 00:55:11,720
Fiorentina were coming off a Nile, a way to Torino.

1096
00:55:11,720 --> 00:55:16,040
I saw my were coming off a four one away win over Monza.

1097
00:55:16,040 --> 00:55:19,840
The previous encounter was a one one draw with Rome at home.

1098
00:55:19,840 --> 00:55:25,240
Both teams were fresh from European victories on Thursday as Fiorentina beat Maccabi Haifa

1099
00:55:25,240 --> 00:55:31,480
for a three and Roma got their fingers like this, you know, got brightened and they just

1100
00:55:31,480 --> 00:55:33,160
absolutely like that, bro.

1101
00:55:33,160 --> 00:55:38,760
That's exactly that's exactly what Roma did to brighten for.

1102
00:55:38,760 --> 00:55:43,400
I don't think so because that's like the standard feel good.

1103
00:55:43,400 --> 00:55:44,400
This was a foreign little thumping.

1104
00:55:44,400 --> 00:55:52,720
I think it was more like, you know, this is that's exactly what happened.

1105
00:55:52,720 --> 00:56:00,440
For those of you that don't know what we're doing, go check us out on YouTube.

1106
00:56:00,440 --> 00:56:05,320
Bellotti faced his, I would say former club, but it's his current club, isn't it?

1107
00:56:05,320 --> 00:56:07,080
Because he's out on loan.

1108
00:56:07,080 --> 00:56:09,760
Beltran was suspended and Kwame injured.

1109
00:56:09,760 --> 00:56:13,040
Martinez, Quartland, Arthur, Mailo returned to the squad.

1110
00:56:13,040 --> 00:56:17,640
Christensen set out a ban with Abraham, the only one left on the treatment table.

1111
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:23,560
Intriguingly, Roma switched to a three five two formation or a three four two one rather

1112
00:56:23,560 --> 00:56:28,400
for this game with Svilare in goal on the back line of Mancini, Llorente and Indica.

1113
00:56:28,400 --> 00:56:33,240
Angel Ligno out on the right with El Sharaoui out on the left.

1114
00:56:33,240 --> 00:56:38,520
Paredes and Cristante in the pivot with the ball and Awar playing behind Lukaku.

1115
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:43,600
There's a four two three one formation for Italianos men with Terraciano on goal and

1116
00:56:43,600 --> 00:56:46,960
the back line of Biraghi, Ranieri, Milenko with Ciancaiode.

1117
00:56:46,960 --> 00:56:51,960
Mandragor and Lopez in the double pivot with Sotil and Gonzalez on the wings and Bonaventura

1118
00:56:51,960 --> 00:56:54,960
playing behind Bellotti.

1119
00:56:54,960 --> 00:57:00,960
Now the 18th minute, Fiorentina opened the scoring through Ranieri.

1120
00:57:00,960 --> 00:57:07,040
It was Lopez's cross that was flicked on by Nico and headed in by Ranieri quite well.

1121
00:57:07,040 --> 00:57:13,040
In the thirty third minute, Didi R made his first substitution of the game of very early

1122
00:57:13,040 --> 00:57:17,960
substitution, thirty three minutes in with Huysin entering for Mancini who was booked

1123
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:20,080
in the sixth minute.

1124
00:57:20,080 --> 00:57:23,800
After the game, the Rossi explained that he felt that the Italian was being baited into

1125
00:57:23,800 --> 00:57:28,440
receiving a second yellow obviously because everyone Fiorentina must at least have half

1126
00:57:28,440 --> 00:57:33,440
a brain cell right so that's exactly what you do after Mancini has been booked.

1127
00:57:33,440 --> 00:57:37,560
One minute later in the thirty fourth minute Sotil's header hit the post after a square

1128
00:57:37,560 --> 00:57:40,280
header by Bellotti putting him on a plate.

1129
00:57:40,280 --> 00:57:44,240
In the thirty eighth minute, Paredes had to clear the ball off the line after an attempt

1130
00:57:44,240 --> 00:57:46,640
at the far post by Bellotti.

1131
00:57:46,640 --> 00:57:52,040
At this point Bellotti is just like he wants to get that Rualo del Leggole, Fiorentina

1132
00:57:52,040 --> 00:57:54,880
at this point, they're really really attacking Roma.

1133
00:57:54,880 --> 00:57:59,920
The first half was all Fiorentina so the Rossi entered the second half in his more familiar

1134
00:57:59,920 --> 00:58:02,040
4-3-3 formation.

1135
00:58:02,040 --> 00:58:06,720
As a result Roma looked more dangerous from the get-go with Cristante forcing Terra Cianon

1136
00:58:06,720 --> 00:58:12,320
to a crucial save in the 52nd minute and in the 57th minute Roma made it 1-1.

1137
00:58:12,320 --> 00:58:17,200
It was Angelinius' cross that took a bubble off a defender but still landed to Alwar

1138
00:58:17,200 --> 00:58:21,320
who scored with a looping header into the top corner.

1139
00:58:21,320 --> 00:58:26,640
In the sixty eighth minute Fiorentina managed to make it to 1-1 through Mandragora.

1140
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:31,680
It was Biraghi's cross that was headed down cleverly by Bellotti to Mandragora just in

1141
00:58:31,680 --> 00:58:37,280
front of Gold who chested it and poked his body past the onrushing Zvilar.

1142
00:58:37,280 --> 00:58:43,160
In the 78th minute Fiorentina hoped to make it 3-1 after Bellotti won a penalty for Fiorentina

1143
00:58:43,160 --> 00:58:50,080
after being brought down by Paredes when beating him beautifully on the turn.

1144
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:55,160
Biraghi's penalty was saved well by Zvilar further adding to Fiorentina's shite form

1145
00:58:55,160 --> 00:58:56,440
from the penalty spot.

1146
00:58:56,440 --> 00:58:58,160
That's good, no one can get one for that.

1147
00:58:58,160 --> 00:58:59,160
Literally bro.

1148
00:58:59,160 --> 00:59:00,160
Literally.

1149
00:59:00,160 --> 00:59:04,640
Fiorentina still thought they could get the job done, you know it's the 90th minute,

1150
00:59:04,640 --> 00:59:09,280
four minutes of at the time, 91st, they're fine, 92nd, they're fine, 93rd, they're fine,

1151
00:59:09,280 --> 00:59:10,280
94th.

1152
00:59:10,280 --> 00:59:14,720
Ball goes out for a corner kick I believe it was.

1153
00:59:14,720 --> 00:59:18,480
Pellegrini's cross was, no actually it was a free kick apologies, Pellegrini's cross

1154
00:59:18,480 --> 00:59:25,040
was headed by Indica to the far post where Fiorentina smacked a bullet volley in off the

1155
00:59:25,040 --> 00:59:31,080
crossbar with virtually the last kick of the game equalising and it was absolute scenes

1156
00:59:31,080 --> 00:59:37,280
in Florence for Roma over there ending the game 2-2.

1157
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,000
Absolutely amazing ending to a great game brother.

1158
00:59:40,000 --> 00:59:42,960
Yeah, got a lot of late goal.

1159
00:59:42,960 --> 00:59:47,280
I wouldn't say it was totally deserved by Roma, I feel like Fiorentina were all over

1160
00:59:47,280 --> 00:59:53,800
them and they had the better chances as well but this is just a testimony to the Rossi

1161
00:59:53,800 --> 00:59:58,040
side that doesn't give up and just seems so difficult to bend over.

1162
00:59:58,040 --> 01:00:04,320
Yeah, Fiorentina missed some fucking chances bro.

1163
01:00:04,320 --> 01:00:11,000
They failed to capitalise from Bellotti's volley that was cleared off the line by Paredes,

1164
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:17,520
Mandragora actually scored offside as well which is something I forgot to mention, they

1165
01:00:17,520 --> 01:00:20,800
missed the penalty as well.

1166
01:00:20,800 --> 01:00:30,200
Still the same issue for Roma which is unfortunately because they managed to get two goals in this

1167
01:00:30,200 --> 01:00:33,960
game right but they should have had more is the whole point of this.

1168
01:00:33,960 --> 01:00:37,040
In fact, their ex-Gioferre is 2.13.

1169
01:00:37,040 --> 01:00:42,160
I really liked what Bellotti had to offer to be honest and to be honest usually bro these

1170
01:00:42,160 --> 01:00:46,400
guys struggle to even create, they struggle to get that ex-Gioferre up because they don't

1171
01:00:46,400 --> 01:00:48,000
create opportunities.

1172
01:00:48,000 --> 01:00:52,880
The way they set up for this game they were creating so many opportunities.

1173
01:00:52,880 --> 01:00:59,280
Bellotti, look I write my notes in quite some depth right, this is all I wrote for

1174
01:00:59,280 --> 01:01:02,280
El fucking Gallo.

1175
01:01:02,280 --> 01:01:04,880
El fucking Gallo bro.

1176
01:01:04,880 --> 01:01:07,600
He's good, people forget what he's all about.

1177
01:01:07,600 --> 01:01:09,160
He's a good striker.

1178
01:01:09,160 --> 01:01:11,600
So smart bro, he's so smart.

1179
01:01:11,600 --> 01:01:14,720
Did you see what he did to Paredes when he won the penalty bro?

1180
01:01:14,720 --> 01:01:20,720
He was just like oh oh and he just turns past him and Paredes is like fuck this and he trips

1181
01:01:20,720 --> 01:01:22,920
him like what can I do man.

1182
01:01:22,920 --> 01:01:27,640
But the reason Mancini was subbed out early was because of Bellotti.

1183
01:01:27,640 --> 01:01:30,240
He was beating him in every 50-50 every deal.

1184
01:01:30,240 --> 01:01:34,520
And going down of course and taking on a player like Mancini is hard man.

1185
01:01:34,520 --> 01:01:42,320
He beat up a pair of balls and they got Mancini because that guy is a fierce competitor and

1186
01:01:42,320 --> 01:01:46,400
he's the captain and for him to be subbed out early in the first half just goes to show

1187
01:01:46,400 --> 01:01:49,000
how well Bellotti was actually doing.

1188
01:01:49,000 --> 01:01:54,240
And how De Rossi noticed that Bellotti has literally got underneath Mancini's skin and

1189
01:01:54,240 --> 01:01:56,160
if I leave him out there he's going to get sent off.

1190
01:01:56,160 --> 01:01:59,600
He's going to get my defender sent off.

1191
01:01:59,600 --> 01:02:05,480
I think what Bellotti really manages to offer to Fiorentina is basically this, if your striker

1192
01:02:05,480 --> 01:02:11,120
can't score at least make sure that he is making other people's score and the amount

1193
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:15,280
of times he was putting his teammates on a plate going to the far post and guiding his

1194
01:02:15,280 --> 01:02:21,800
headers, guiding his volleys into the center of the box and putting the ball on a plate

1195
01:02:21,800 --> 01:02:23,360
for his teammates.

1196
01:02:23,360 --> 01:02:27,920
He was just constantly creating chances man which is something, what did we always say

1197
01:02:27,920 --> 01:02:33,760
about Fiorentina, that they are not a creative team, that they lacked that creativity to

1198
01:02:33,760 --> 01:02:40,000
create chances and Gallo has come in now and against Roma against such a strong team against

1199
01:02:40,000 --> 01:02:44,320
his former team which let's keep in mind that he would have wanted to perform extremely

1200
01:02:44,320 --> 01:02:47,840
well in this game but he had a magnificent performance man, magnificent.

1201
01:02:47,840 --> 01:02:52,400
Absolutely and I do think that his industry plays a big part in this because if you look

1202
01:02:52,400 --> 01:02:59,120
at the strikers since Vladovic who have come in and flopped, you look at Lukajovic, you

1203
01:02:59,120 --> 01:03:02,880
look at Beltran and you look at Inzola and you look at Cabral.

1204
01:03:02,880 --> 01:03:06,800
Cabral maybe is the only exception over here but these guys aren't going to go out there

1205
01:03:06,800 --> 01:03:11,560
and just put their heads down and run and grind everything out for you.

1206
01:03:11,560 --> 01:03:15,440
They're not that type of striker and I feel like that's what this Fiorentina needs.

1207
01:03:15,440 --> 01:03:18,440
They need someone who's going to challenge these defenders, who's going to push them,

1208
01:03:18,440 --> 01:03:23,200
who's going to force them to make quick decisions, maybe the wrong decisions so that the players

1209
01:03:23,200 --> 01:03:27,280
behind the strikers who are very capable, Nico Gonzalez, one of the two Roma and Dragora,

1210
01:03:27,280 --> 01:03:29,800
they can all smack it.

1211
01:03:29,800 --> 01:03:33,840
It frees up a lot of space for them, it creates a lot of channels for them to run into.

1212
01:03:33,840 --> 01:03:38,800
So I think Balotti was a cool signing and I do hope he stays there but imagine him under

1213
01:03:38,800 --> 01:03:41,520
the Rossi on the other hand.

1214
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:44,560
But there's Lukaku, yes, yes, yes, yes, it's true.

1215
01:03:44,560 --> 01:03:46,920
But happy this has happened, he's doing very well.

1216
01:03:46,920 --> 01:03:53,480
Well, Lukaku's off to Saudi Arabia next year, I'll bet you, what do you want?

1217
01:03:53,480 --> 01:03:55,200
Leave it, I'm not doing it.

1218
01:03:55,200 --> 01:03:59,960
He's so off to Saudi Arabia, Lukaku next year.

1219
01:03:59,960 --> 01:04:03,120
We did the Uva game and I didn't praise Cambioso so I'm going to praise him now.

1220
01:04:03,120 --> 01:04:04,120
Okay.

1221
01:04:04,120 --> 01:04:05,120
Cambioso is very good.

1222
01:04:05,120 --> 01:04:06,120
Yeah.

1223
01:04:06,120 --> 01:04:07,120
He is so two-footed.

1224
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:12,120
I didn't even know which was the stronger foot.

1225
01:04:12,120 --> 01:04:13,520
I was like, wait a minute.

1226
01:04:13,520 --> 01:04:16,600
I don't know which is the stronger foot.

1227
01:04:16,600 --> 01:04:18,480
I don't know, whose left is right.

1228
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:19,480
Tell us.

1229
01:04:19,480 --> 01:04:24,400
I would say he's left-footed primarily.

1230
01:04:24,400 --> 01:04:28,520
Look at that, I have absolutely no idea because he plays on the left, he plays on the right.

1231
01:04:28,520 --> 01:04:37,400
I think he might be left-footed, but to me, Cambioso, if Italy started a 343 or 352 formation,

1232
01:04:37,400 --> 01:04:41,440
he might be my starting wingback for the Italian national team.

1233
01:04:41,440 --> 01:04:42,440
Foot both.

1234
01:04:42,440 --> 01:04:43,440
Both?

1235
01:04:43,440 --> 01:04:44,440
What is this?

1236
01:04:44,440 --> 01:04:45,440
It could be, bro.

1237
01:04:45,440 --> 01:04:46,440
He's both-footed.

1238
01:04:46,440 --> 01:04:50,800
I know someone, we're playing a fiver side, I'm like, bro, which is your stronger foot?

1239
01:04:50,800 --> 01:04:53,400
He's like both.

1240
01:04:53,400 --> 01:04:56,200
What a fucking wankery answer.

1241
01:04:56,200 --> 01:04:57,200
Just tell me.

1242
01:04:57,200 --> 01:05:02,160
If I had to strap you to a chair and get a chain saw and say I'm going to rev up one

1243
01:05:02,160 --> 01:05:07,120
of your feet, one of your legs, choose one, bro, no, it doesn't matter.

1244
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:10,640
But then I made him shoot a ball with his right and shoot a ball with his left.

1245
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:12,280
It was the exact same fucking thing.

1246
01:05:12,280 --> 01:05:14,280
Bro, it's Cambioso.

1247
01:05:14,280 --> 01:05:15,280
Literally.

1248
01:05:15,280 --> 01:05:17,560
Apparently, he just spent a season playing with his left leg.

1249
01:05:17,560 --> 01:05:20,520
He used to play with his right leg, he just spent a season with his left leg.

1250
01:05:20,520 --> 01:05:22,520
I don't think he just started using it.

1251
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:26,800
Everyone's like, you're terrible, there's no man I'm playing with my left.

1252
01:05:26,800 --> 01:05:28,240
It's true, I tell you, I got used to it.

1253
01:05:28,240 --> 01:05:30,960
He must have been fucking god-awful, man.

1254
01:05:30,960 --> 01:05:31,960
Zvilar, huh?

1255
01:05:31,960 --> 01:05:33,360
Look, look at my hand.

1256
01:05:33,360 --> 01:05:34,360
The next one?

1257
01:05:34,360 --> 01:05:35,360
Yes, Zvilar.

1258
01:05:35,360 --> 01:05:41,520
Zvilar, an upgrade from Rui Patricio, in my opinion, at least in the little kind of

1259
01:05:41,520 --> 01:05:44,120
case study that we have of Zvilar's performances.

1260
01:05:44,120 --> 01:05:47,400
He has made, what did we say about Rui Patricio?

1261
01:05:47,400 --> 01:05:50,720
It was, we haven't seen him pull off great saves.

1262
01:05:50,720 --> 01:05:52,200
What have we seen Zvilar do?

1263
01:05:52,200 --> 01:05:53,200
Pull off great saves.

1264
01:05:53,200 --> 01:05:54,200
Pull off great saves.

1265
01:05:54,200 --> 01:05:57,080
And stopped the penalty as well in this.

1266
01:05:57,080 --> 01:06:00,920
Biragi, okay, he didn't go for the most exciting penalty.

1267
01:06:00,920 --> 01:06:04,240
He barely even ran up to take the penalty.

1268
01:06:04,240 --> 01:06:06,200
But great save, none of the Zvilar.

1269
01:06:06,200 --> 01:06:09,520
He waited until he committed, you know.

1270
01:06:09,520 --> 01:06:11,320
But he's been showing us great things.

1271
01:06:11,320 --> 01:06:16,720
Yeah, formerly with Anderlecht and Benfica, only 24 years old, and is a Serbian.

1272
01:06:16,720 --> 01:06:22,040
So he actually would be competing with Vanya Belinkovic-Sovish for this start.

1273
01:06:22,040 --> 01:06:23,040
He had a fantastic game.

1274
01:06:23,040 --> 01:06:24,040
He had another fantastic game.

1275
01:06:24,040 --> 01:06:25,040
Two good keepers.

1276
01:06:25,040 --> 01:06:26,040
Two fantastic game as well.

1277
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:27,040
Two good keepers, huh?

1278
01:06:27,040 --> 01:06:33,800
Just one more comment, Daniela DeRosti's halftime switch to a 4-3-3 formation is when, you know,

1279
01:06:33,800 --> 01:06:37,320
Roma managed to get back into the game.

1280
01:06:37,320 --> 01:06:44,360
I don't mind managers trying something new and adapting to maybe the team in front of

1281
01:06:44,360 --> 01:06:47,440
them, but this was weird.

1282
01:06:47,440 --> 01:06:53,200
I don't know what he was looking to achieve by putting Angelinho as a right wing back,

1283
01:06:53,200 --> 01:06:56,560
Daniel Sharawi as a left wing back.

1284
01:06:56,560 --> 01:07:02,360
It just seemed a little bit odd and Roma didn't look good at all in the first half as a result

1285
01:07:02,360 --> 01:07:03,360
of that.

1286
01:07:03,360 --> 01:07:09,560
So it's just that decision making going into the game where he had time to consider and

1287
01:07:09,560 --> 01:07:12,920
think about it, I just found it to be quite weird, man.

1288
01:07:12,920 --> 01:07:18,360
I assume the approach would be to neutralize Fiorentina's attacking prowess early on.

1289
01:07:18,360 --> 01:07:20,800
Maybe he knew that they were going to come out gun-ho.

1290
01:07:20,800 --> 01:07:23,520
It didn't really work.

1291
01:07:23,520 --> 01:07:28,280
He would have hoped that his team are a bit more used to Atria at the back formation

1292
01:07:28,280 --> 01:07:31,600
after Fiorentina, under Mourinho.

1293
01:07:31,600 --> 01:07:33,880
But apparently, fucking not.

1294
01:07:33,880 --> 01:07:37,320
But this was an excellent game, very thrilling from a neutral perspective.

1295
01:07:37,320 --> 01:07:40,080
Who doesn't love a last minute equalizer?

1296
01:07:40,080 --> 01:07:42,520
Fiorentina probably.

1297
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:46,880
Roma are in fifth on 48 points, which might just be enough for Champions League if the

1298
01:07:46,880 --> 01:07:50,800
coefficient remains as it is.

1299
01:07:50,800 --> 01:07:55,480
Even though Italian teams are dropping like flies, Napoleon lats you out in a week.

1300
01:07:55,480 --> 01:07:56,480
That's fine.

1301
01:07:56,480 --> 01:08:01,720
I think Italy is still first by some distance.

1302
01:08:01,720 --> 01:08:06,440
Whereas Fiorentina in eighth on 43 points, you said it's become the eighth sister.

1303
01:08:06,440 --> 01:08:08,360
That's it, it's the ninth sister's, bro.

1304
01:08:08,360 --> 01:08:12,520
There's Fiorentina lats you on Napoleon, atalanta, Roma, Bologna, Juve, Milan, Inter.

1305
01:08:12,520 --> 01:08:14,760
That's a top nine if I've ever seen one, man.

1306
01:08:14,760 --> 01:08:15,760
Yeah, absolutely.

1307
01:08:15,760 --> 01:08:19,440
And also shout out to Ranieri, who has five goals in all competitions this season, and

1308
01:08:19,440 --> 01:08:22,440
has benched Martinez-Quarton.

1309
01:08:22,440 --> 01:08:23,440
Amazing.

1310
01:08:23,440 --> 01:08:24,440
Very well.

1311
01:08:24,440 --> 01:08:25,440
Top stuff.

1312
01:08:25,440 --> 01:08:29,200
Yeah, Lazio hosted Udinese and lost 2-1.

1313
01:08:29,200 --> 01:08:36,040
Yes, the previous encounter of this game was a 2-1 win the other way around for Lazio.

1314
01:08:36,040 --> 01:08:42,280
The lineups, we're talking Providellingol, who had a tragic, tragic game.

1315
01:08:42,280 --> 01:08:48,720
Not because of his performance, but poor, poor Providellingol will get into it very soon.

1316
01:08:48,720 --> 01:08:53,560
Lazzari was on the right, Hisai was on the left, Hila and Romaniolli were the centre-back

1317
01:08:53,560 --> 01:08:54,560
partnership.

1318
01:08:54,560 --> 01:08:56,840
I am so impressed by Mario Hila by the way.

1319
01:08:56,840 --> 01:09:01,680
Vecino, I have a habit of pulling out my talking points while I'm reading the lineup.

1320
01:09:01,680 --> 01:09:06,360
Vecino, Cataldi and Luis Alberto were in the middle with Philippa Anderson out on the right,

1321
01:09:06,360 --> 01:09:09,480
Zacani out on the left and Chiro immobile up front.

1322
01:09:09,480 --> 01:09:13,320
Okoya was in goal for Udinese as he tends to be lately.

1323
01:09:13,320 --> 01:09:17,640
New empires, Gianetti and Ferreira were at the back with Camara on the left, Ferreira

1324
01:09:17,640 --> 01:09:23,160
on the right, Payero, Zarraga and Lovereach in the middle, Zarraga coming in to replace

1325
01:09:23,160 --> 01:09:24,160
Wallace.

1326
01:09:24,160 --> 01:09:28,000
Lorenzo Lucca was up front with the ever impressive Florian Thauvin.

1327
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:33,640
You remember Gianetti from season 2 of Love is Blind?

1328
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:35,200
Was she the Italian girl?

1329
01:09:35,200 --> 01:09:37,040
Yeah, Gianetti, Peretti, Canary.

1330
01:09:37,040 --> 01:09:39,040
Yeah, I remember.

1331
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:42,200
We had a really, really vanilla boyfriend.

1332
01:09:42,200 --> 01:09:45,240
Yeah, yeah, yeah, Damon, I believe as they were.

1333
01:09:45,240 --> 01:09:46,880
And she was insane.

1334
01:09:46,880 --> 01:09:49,640
She was all about self-destructing, bro.

1335
01:09:49,640 --> 01:09:53,160
She was like, I was going great with him, I can't wait till I fucking self-destruct.

1336
01:09:53,160 --> 01:09:55,320
I go nuts.

1337
01:09:55,320 --> 01:09:56,320
Everything's perfect right now.

1338
01:09:56,320 --> 01:09:59,440
Maybe too perfect.

1339
01:09:59,440 --> 01:10:03,280
This is the trash our girlfriends make us watch and we pretend we don't like it when we sit

1340
01:10:03,280 --> 01:10:04,760
there and we don't stop watching.

1341
01:10:04,760 --> 01:10:06,760
No, there's the game, babe.

1342
01:10:06,760 --> 01:10:09,400
Don't worry, we'll put it on the iPad.

1343
01:10:09,400 --> 01:10:11,920
So she's with him.

1344
01:10:11,920 --> 01:10:15,200
So Lazio dominated for the first half.

1345
01:10:15,200 --> 01:10:19,520
Udinesa did grow into the game and they were actually the more dangerous side and lost

1346
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:21,400
15 minutes of the first half.

1347
01:10:21,400 --> 01:10:26,120
And they also had the better chances with Gianetti, speaking of, and forcing Providil

1348
01:10:26,120 --> 01:10:27,960
into a very good save off ahead.

1349
01:10:27,960 --> 01:10:32,040
It was one of those saves where he jumps up and falls backwards and knocks it over the

1350
01:10:32,040 --> 01:10:33,560
bar, you know, a fantastic save.

1351
01:10:33,560 --> 01:10:36,240
He was having a good game too, but he's self-destructed later.

1352
01:10:36,240 --> 01:10:40,280
Love Ridge got close with a rocket that powered into Providil.

1353
01:10:40,280 --> 01:10:44,000
Zacani was lively and Luca displayed very good hold up play in the first half.

1354
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:45,760
I say this every single freaking episode.

1355
01:10:45,760 --> 01:10:48,400
He said, look, I thought it sounded like you said Luca.

1356
01:10:48,400 --> 01:10:49,400
It could be.

1357
01:10:49,400 --> 01:10:54,240
I said, look, look, look holds the play up so well, man.

1358
01:10:54,240 --> 01:10:57,880
And even his flick on his technical ability, big fan of the play.

1359
01:10:57,880 --> 01:11:01,520
They played to his strengths, which is good to see because you often see a striker like

1360
01:11:01,520 --> 01:11:03,720
him just being utilized in the wrong way.

1361
01:11:03,720 --> 01:11:05,720
And then he really liked him.

1362
01:11:05,720 --> 01:11:06,720
Same.

1363
01:11:06,720 --> 01:11:08,200
And the second half.

1364
01:11:08,200 --> 01:11:12,200
So Udenes had come out with the same momentum that they had ended the first half with.

1365
01:11:12,200 --> 01:11:17,240
Look up with Udenes in front when he deflected Camaras cross shot past Providil.

1366
01:11:17,240 --> 01:11:22,120
Two minutes later, Zacani went feral and deflected the ball into the back of the net of Gianetti.

1367
01:11:22,120 --> 01:11:23,720
I believe he wanted to cross it there.

1368
01:11:23,720 --> 01:11:25,640
It was most definitely across.

1369
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:26,640
Definitely not his goal.

1370
01:11:26,640 --> 01:11:30,640
And then two minutes after that, Zarraga, who came into replace Wallace as I've mentioned,

1371
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:36,440
plays the ball perfectly into the corner from outside the box throughout all this.

1372
01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:42,640
Of course, Udenes would go down to 10 men with new repairs, getting a red card.

1373
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:46,280
And Providil would go up at the end of the game for a corner.

1374
01:11:46,280 --> 01:11:50,640
The commentator is like, Oh, Providil is going to upscore the winner in the Champions League

1375
01:11:50,640 --> 01:11:51,640
earlier this season.

1376
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:54,000
Like really excited.

1377
01:11:54,000 --> 01:11:57,920
I forgot who his I think was Tati Castellanios.

1378
01:11:57,920 --> 01:12:06,160
He collided with him and you get to see this shot of Providil's ankle just twisting terribly

1379
01:12:06,160 --> 01:12:10,080
to the point that he was stood on his ankle on the little ball.

1380
01:12:10,080 --> 01:12:13,960
He was stood on it and he goes down on the ground.

1381
01:12:13,960 --> 01:12:17,720
Everyone's around him, you know, at one point the camera gets an angle that's really close

1382
01:12:17,720 --> 01:12:21,600
and you can literally hear him.

1383
01:12:21,600 --> 01:12:23,600
He was an agony, bro.

1384
01:12:23,600 --> 01:12:25,600
Like he's screaming.

1385
01:12:25,600 --> 01:12:26,600
Poor guy, man.

1386
01:12:26,600 --> 01:12:28,600
He's so frustrated.

1387
01:12:28,600 --> 01:12:30,600
I can't believe these idiots, they can't score against Udenes.

1388
01:12:30,600 --> 01:12:33,840
To the point that I have to go up at the end and then my fucking stupid striker who would

1389
01:12:33,840 --> 01:12:36,360
score a single goal twisted my bloody ankle.

1390
01:12:36,360 --> 01:12:37,360
Bro, Udenes are mental.

1391
01:12:37,360 --> 01:12:39,320
And it's not even twisted his ankle.

1392
01:12:39,320 --> 01:12:41,200
It's quite a bad injury.

1393
01:12:41,200 --> 01:12:44,880
I don't know what it is to be quite on.

1394
01:12:44,880 --> 01:12:46,360
I don't know the severity of it.

1395
01:12:46,360 --> 01:12:48,400
You could keep going and I'll check.

1396
01:12:48,400 --> 01:12:53,640
Yeah, which just goes to show, by the way, that Immobil who seemed to have been finding

1397
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:55,880
his groove again.

1398
01:12:55,880 --> 01:13:02,840
He had been praising his movement over here, saying that he's still kind of maybe he's

1399
01:13:02,840 --> 01:13:04,160
coming back to form.

1400
01:13:04,160 --> 01:13:09,360
You know, it really, it was the case for a while, but now he's been so wasteful lately.

1401
01:13:09,360 --> 01:13:10,360
Man, he's baramunic.

1402
01:13:10,360 --> 01:13:11,920
He missed a massive opportunity.

1403
01:13:11,920 --> 01:13:14,160
He missed more good chances against Udenes.

1404
01:13:14,160 --> 01:13:19,880
He's just becoming so wasteful and he always seems to be one step behind.

1405
01:13:19,880 --> 01:13:22,280
And it just isn't working for him, man.

1406
01:13:22,280 --> 01:13:29,160
And Castellanios, his replacement seems to be better suited for a two striker formation,

1407
01:13:29,160 --> 01:13:30,160
I think, the way he plays.

1408
01:13:30,160 --> 01:13:31,160
I think so.

1409
01:13:31,160 --> 01:13:32,720
Because he's also kind of a support striker.

1410
01:13:32,720 --> 01:13:38,280
You know, he's quite technical, knocks the ball off well to his teammates.

1411
01:13:38,280 --> 01:13:39,280
He's not that killer.

1412
01:13:39,280 --> 01:13:41,680
He's not that guy you want as your main number nine.

1413
01:13:41,680 --> 01:13:47,040
I think Lazio might be better off, man, playing a 4-3-3 with Philip Anderson as the false

1414
01:13:47,040 --> 01:13:48,040
knight.

1415
01:13:48,040 --> 01:13:50,800
Like they did last year and they finished second, bro.

1416
01:13:50,800 --> 01:13:52,480
Your best football they've played, man.

1417
01:13:52,480 --> 01:13:53,480
Very true.

1418
01:13:53,480 --> 01:13:57,560
I don't know why they keep making the same substitutions that clearly aren't working.

1419
01:13:57,560 --> 01:14:01,480
And maybe the argument is sure, but last year Pedro was much better than he is now, but

1420
01:14:01,480 --> 01:14:02,760
fucking play Isaacson.

1421
01:14:02,760 --> 01:14:06,720
You know, he brought on Pedro to replace Luis Alberto at one point, playing him in midfield.

1422
01:14:06,720 --> 01:14:07,720
My God.

1423
01:14:07,720 --> 01:14:08,720
Quite interesting.

1424
01:14:08,720 --> 01:14:15,800
To me, when I look at this Lazio team, we've often spoken about their in transition, right?

1425
01:14:15,800 --> 01:14:23,440
Because they lost some key pieces and they're just trying to kind of put blasters until

1426
01:14:23,440 --> 01:14:26,360
the entire team is kind of reshuffled.

1427
01:14:26,360 --> 01:14:32,280
I think they have a significant weakness in every area of the pitch.

1428
01:14:32,280 --> 01:14:39,560
Honestly, if you look at their defense, probably the wing backs in Isai and Lazari.

1429
01:14:39,560 --> 01:14:44,720
If you look at the midfield, a lot of the times, bro, it's most of them having a nightmare

1430
01:14:44,720 --> 01:14:46,920
of a game.

1431
01:14:46,920 --> 01:14:51,240
Luis Alberto has not been good the past five, six games.

1432
01:14:51,240 --> 01:14:53,320
He's been struggling.

1433
01:14:53,320 --> 01:14:56,920
And the thing is, he's next to people that he's not familiar with.

1434
01:14:56,920 --> 01:15:00,200
Now in this case, sure, there was Cataldi and Vecino.

1435
01:15:00,200 --> 01:15:03,080
Cool, you know, like that.

1436
01:15:03,080 --> 01:15:04,080
It's nothing great.

1437
01:15:04,080 --> 01:15:05,080
But another day.

1438
01:15:05,080 --> 01:15:09,840
But another day, he's got Kamada, who is not familiar with that.

1439
01:15:09,840 --> 01:15:12,560
He's got Guendouzi, who is not familiar with that.

1440
01:15:12,560 --> 01:15:16,120
When it comes to Alberto, he needs players to do the running for him.

1441
01:15:16,120 --> 01:15:21,280
But in the midfield especially, which these guys don't really do.

1442
01:15:21,280 --> 01:15:26,680
And then in attack, it's like immobile, like you said, he's a step behind.

1443
01:15:26,680 --> 01:15:29,920
And Anderson, it depends, bro.

1444
01:15:29,920 --> 01:15:31,120
It depends on the fucking...

1445
01:15:31,120 --> 01:15:32,120
Good juggler, Mr. Head.

1446
01:15:32,120 --> 01:15:34,160
It depends on the weatherman.

1447
01:15:34,160 --> 01:15:36,760
That's how you know how he's going to play.

1448
01:15:36,760 --> 01:15:37,760
Which weatherman?

1449
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:42,160
It depends on the particular weatherman that's presenting that day.

1450
01:15:42,160 --> 01:15:44,280
That Mexican one, you know the one?

1451
01:15:44,280 --> 01:15:45,280
That's...

1452
01:15:45,280 --> 01:15:46,280
Oh, bro.

1453
01:15:46,280 --> 01:15:47,280
What was it?

1454
01:15:47,280 --> 01:15:48,280
The Colombian one?

1455
01:15:48,280 --> 01:15:49,280
No, the Mexican one, Waila.

1456
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:50,280
Waila.

1457
01:15:50,280 --> 01:15:53,880
It suits you, bro.

1458
01:15:53,880 --> 01:16:00,400
Honestly, I think that the best thing that you can do is commit to a project that sees

1459
01:16:00,400 --> 01:16:08,720
them, flip these players, make some money, and invest in a young team that can grow together

1460
01:16:08,720 --> 01:16:14,080
over the course of four or five years, build familiarity over there, concede for the time

1461
01:16:14,080 --> 01:16:23,160
being and say, fuck it, let's aim for conferences, aim for Europa when we can, aim for champions.

1462
01:16:23,160 --> 01:16:28,160
But it is important to think of sustainability because the squad is not sustainable.

1463
01:16:28,160 --> 01:16:32,800
Zakanye ain't no spring chicken, he's pushing 30, I believe.

1464
01:16:32,800 --> 01:16:39,600
Luis Alberto as well, immobile, he's past 30 now.

1465
01:16:39,600 --> 01:16:46,240
And their key players are all aging and everyone around them isn't too impressive.

1466
01:16:46,240 --> 01:16:53,440
So I would literally say that commit, get some young people on board, promote some people

1467
01:16:53,440 --> 01:16:57,840
and try to see out like a five-year plan similar to what Milan did, man.

1468
01:16:57,840 --> 01:17:01,640
And it clearly worked out for Milan.

1469
01:17:01,640 --> 01:17:08,280
They've lost a manager who was way better than a manager they probably deserved because

1470
01:17:08,280 --> 01:17:11,160
Lotito is stingy, quite frankly.

1471
01:17:11,160 --> 01:17:13,280
And they know how to choose their managers.

1472
01:17:13,280 --> 01:17:14,280
They do.

1473
01:17:14,280 --> 01:17:15,280
So they always have a great manager.

1474
01:17:15,280 --> 01:17:17,440
But Lotito must be so difficult to work with, man.

1475
01:17:17,440 --> 01:17:18,440
And we've seen it.

1476
01:17:18,440 --> 01:17:20,080
We've seen it time and time again with different managers.

1477
01:17:20,080 --> 01:17:21,760
And I'm sorry he's out now.

1478
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:25,000
I have the note here for the replacement alongside Closer being rumored.

1479
01:17:25,000 --> 01:17:26,680
It's Brocky, Christian Brocky.

1480
01:17:26,680 --> 01:17:28,200
Can you, that is that.

1481
01:17:28,200 --> 01:17:29,200
PTSD, PTSD.

1482
01:17:29,200 --> 01:17:30,200
That's crazy.

1483
01:17:30,200 --> 01:17:34,080
That's just bad vibes from us Milan fans.

1484
01:17:34,080 --> 01:17:35,080
We'll see.

1485
01:17:35,080 --> 01:17:40,080
Of course, this should probably be an interim option.

1486
01:17:40,080 --> 01:17:41,080
We'll see.

1487
01:17:41,080 --> 01:17:43,840
Maybe they can go for a lost minute with 10 games to go.

1488
01:17:43,840 --> 01:17:46,360
European push, maybe with Closer at the helm.

1489
01:17:46,360 --> 01:17:48,240
They might give him a chance at that.

1490
01:17:48,240 --> 01:17:51,320
Or else maybe they have someone waiting in the pipeline to have a full preseason.

1491
01:17:51,320 --> 01:17:55,120
I highly doubt that we'll see because it was a resignation at the end of the day.

1492
01:17:55,120 --> 01:17:56,860
So I highly doubt there's a plan.

1493
01:17:56,860 --> 01:18:00,440
So they're just going to have to find someone to fill that hole.

1494
01:18:00,440 --> 01:18:02,320
Surrey is staying till the end of the season.

1495
01:18:02,320 --> 01:18:03,320
Is he not?

1496
01:18:03,320 --> 01:18:04,320
No, he's not.

1497
01:18:04,320 --> 01:18:05,320
He's not.

1498
01:18:05,320 --> 01:18:06,320
He's done.

1499
01:18:06,320 --> 01:18:07,320
He wasn't even coaching this game.

1500
01:18:07,320 --> 01:18:08,320
He was in the stands, of course.

1501
01:18:08,320 --> 01:18:10,840
I ended up for it because he was suspended.

1502
01:18:10,840 --> 01:18:13,720
But yeah, it was quite foreshadowing not seeing him there, you know.

1503
01:18:13,720 --> 01:18:17,160
At one point towards the end, you see the assistant manager going, but three minutes,

1504
01:18:17,160 --> 01:18:18,160
but three minutes.

1505
01:18:18,160 --> 01:18:19,160
Go get them.

1506
01:18:19,160 --> 01:18:20,160
Are you joking right now?

1507
01:18:20,160 --> 01:18:21,160
You're that desperate.

1508
01:18:21,160 --> 01:18:22,360
Three minutes ago with a goal against the denies.

1509
01:18:22,360 --> 01:18:29,320
To be honest, Surrey, fantastic manager and he can still do it.

1510
01:18:29,320 --> 01:18:32,960
And I know he started his coaching career quite late because he spent the majority of

1511
01:18:32,960 --> 01:18:34,640
his life as a banker, right?

1512
01:18:34,640 --> 01:18:35,640
But he's 65.

1513
01:18:35,640 --> 01:18:36,640
That's why he smokes.

1514
01:18:36,640 --> 01:18:37,640
He's 65.

1515
01:18:37,640 --> 01:18:40,360
You should think about relaxing a bit.

1516
01:18:40,360 --> 01:18:42,160
But I think these are the type of people, bro.

1517
01:18:42,160 --> 01:18:47,280
You know, those like, you know, those like workers, those people who've been working

1518
01:18:47,280 --> 01:18:49,880
since they were like 11 years old.

1519
01:18:49,880 --> 01:18:51,520
And they work and work.

1520
01:18:51,520 --> 01:18:54,320
And work and work and work and work.

1521
01:18:54,320 --> 01:18:56,520
And then they retire and a month later they die.

1522
01:18:56,520 --> 01:19:02,840
You might be like, they need something, you know, they need something to keep them going.

1523
01:19:02,840 --> 01:19:07,080
Like if they stop, they're done for.

1524
01:19:07,080 --> 01:19:10,640
But yeah, you need a reason to get out of bed in the morning.

1525
01:19:10,640 --> 01:19:16,080
So they have caretaker manager Giovanni Martuschiello or Martuschi.

1526
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:20,720
He's been placed as the interim assistant manager who has been placed as the interim

1527
01:19:20,720 --> 01:19:21,720
manager.

1528
01:19:21,720 --> 01:19:25,240
I was at three minutes, three minutes.

1529
01:19:25,240 --> 01:19:28,200
Back to the football, by the way, there are a few more things I want to mention about

1530
01:19:28,200 --> 01:19:29,880
Lorenzo Lucca for example.

1531
01:19:29,880 --> 01:19:30,880
Back to the football.

1532
01:19:30,880 --> 01:19:32,320
What the hell were we talking about?

1533
01:19:32,320 --> 01:19:33,320
The politics.

1534
01:19:33,320 --> 01:19:37,600
Bro, Lucca.

1535
01:19:37,600 --> 01:19:41,560
He I saw aside of him that I hadn't really seen before.

1536
01:19:41,560 --> 01:19:46,400
Kind of annoying, an annoying opponent.

1537
01:19:46,400 --> 01:19:51,880
He's talking to the referee or talking to his opponent, so he's chatting, always falling

1538
01:19:51,880 --> 01:19:59,200
over, milking everything, you know, rolling on the floor, really frustrating the opposition,

1539
01:19:59,200 --> 01:20:04,280
really taking up a lot of time, really taking all the energy from the referee and sucking

1540
01:20:04,280 --> 01:20:05,560
it out of him quite frankly.

1541
01:20:05,560 --> 01:20:09,200
And that is quite useful, especially for a side that's battling relegation.

1542
01:20:09,200 --> 01:20:11,920
They've got a good player over there.

1543
01:20:11,920 --> 01:20:20,000
And you know, typically I bitch am on about players like that, but it is a very important

1544
01:20:20,000 --> 01:20:24,720
quality to have, man, and an annoying player to face, like, okay, annoying with the referee

1545
01:20:24,720 --> 01:20:29,320
is one thing, but annoying to the defenders and to the players around you.

1546
01:20:29,320 --> 01:20:30,560
That's fucking brilliant.

1547
01:20:30,560 --> 01:20:34,480
It's a great asset to have to your game.

1548
01:20:34,480 --> 01:20:36,920
Seven goals and three assists for Lucca.

1549
01:20:36,920 --> 01:20:41,960
In his first season, we had a bet about Lucas goals, I think.

1550
01:20:41,960 --> 01:20:42,960
Did we?

1551
01:20:42,960 --> 01:20:43,960
I think so.

1552
01:20:43,960 --> 01:20:44,960
You're sure it was long enough to listen?

1553
01:20:44,960 --> 01:20:47,760
It was with me and not one of your other co-hosts.

1554
01:20:47,760 --> 01:20:53,440
Yeah, I think it was with you.

1555
01:20:53,440 --> 01:20:54,440
We're never going to find it though.

1556
01:20:54,440 --> 01:20:58,000
Those are episodes that are like two hours long and we'll never find it.

1557
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:02,120
Davis came out at one point towards the end for Udenes when they really needed to press

1558
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:07,720
and Lotzio actually started the play before they could make their substitution to Choffee's

1559
01:21:07,720 --> 01:21:08,720
despair.

1560
01:21:08,720 --> 01:21:10,600
He was absolutely fuming about that.

1561
01:21:10,600 --> 01:21:16,080
But they brought on Davis, this guy who apparently came from Spurs charged onto the pitch and

1562
01:21:16,080 --> 01:21:20,680
just the first thing he did was he sprinted towards the ball.

1563
01:21:20,680 --> 01:21:23,480
Like they played it all the way from the right to the left.

1564
01:21:23,480 --> 01:21:27,600
Lotzio and this guy sprinted from the halfway line all the way to the first defender and

1565
01:21:27,600 --> 01:21:29,560
tracked them all back as they were passing it around.

1566
01:21:29,560 --> 01:21:33,480
He was just charging like a rabid bull.

1567
01:21:33,480 --> 01:21:34,480
I thought that was interesting as well.

1568
01:21:34,480 --> 01:21:38,640
I thought it was a useful substitution to make when you're winning and you need to

1569
01:21:38,640 --> 01:21:41,200
maintain and bring them on to the press.

1570
01:21:41,200 --> 01:21:44,440
Game plan very well executed by Udenes.

1571
01:21:44,440 --> 01:21:45,440
Absolutely, man.

1572
01:21:45,440 --> 01:21:46,960
And they were executed.

1573
01:21:46,960 --> 01:21:49,600
Their team is pretty good.

1574
01:21:49,600 --> 01:21:50,600
We've always said this.

1575
01:21:50,600 --> 01:21:54,360
They have technically gifted players, their defenders are tough, their full backs have

1576
01:21:54,360 --> 01:21:55,960
three lungs each.

1577
01:21:55,960 --> 01:21:56,960
They're wild.

1578
01:21:56,960 --> 01:21:58,560
They're a pretty good team, man.

1579
01:21:58,560 --> 01:22:06,880
Yeah, they struggled and I can't quite put my finger on why they struggled.

1580
01:22:06,880 --> 01:22:10,800
But maybe this is a turning point.

1581
01:22:10,800 --> 01:22:13,960
I mean, they had to rely on different people to get them the goals.

1582
01:22:13,960 --> 01:22:18,320
In fact, when you look at them, they haven't lost as many games as the rest of their rivals.

1583
01:22:18,320 --> 01:22:20,320
They've drawn a lot.

1584
01:22:20,320 --> 01:22:24,080
That's probably because they haven't been as productive because Beto left, granted

1585
01:22:24,080 --> 01:22:25,640
Lukka is putting up similar numbers.

1586
01:22:25,640 --> 01:22:26,640
That was our bet.

1587
01:22:26,640 --> 01:22:28,760
We were talking about Beto and Lukka.

1588
01:22:28,760 --> 01:22:31,360
Can Lukka have the same impact Beto had, remember?

1589
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:32,360
And his first season.

1590
01:22:32,360 --> 01:22:34,360
I don't know if it was a bet, bro.

1591
01:22:34,360 --> 01:22:37,600
I don't think we're out here betting.

1592
01:22:37,600 --> 01:22:40,000
I owe you five Euro, Verona don't come dead last.

1593
01:22:40,000 --> 01:22:44,040
And they're so not going to come dead last.

1594
01:22:44,040 --> 01:22:46,000
I remind that I'm very, very, very mad.

1595
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:47,000
She's sharing.

1596
01:22:47,000 --> 01:22:48,000
I have no idea.

1597
01:22:48,000 --> 01:22:52,440
And you know, man, they're just a solid team.

1598
01:22:52,440 --> 01:22:53,640
They're here to stay, I think, with Udenes.

1599
01:22:53,640 --> 01:22:57,640
I don't think they're going down anytime soon, despite the fact that they're getting

1600
01:22:57,640 --> 01:23:01,960
slightly weaker and weaker and weaker and weaker every season.

1601
01:23:01,960 --> 01:23:05,160
They currently sit in 13th.

1602
01:23:05,160 --> 01:23:06,160
They've gone up.

1603
01:23:06,160 --> 01:23:08,400
They're on 27 points.

1604
01:23:08,400 --> 01:23:09,720
Mixed form in their last five.

1605
01:23:09,720 --> 01:23:13,560
They have two draws, two wins and a loss, which isn't bad at all.

1606
01:23:13,560 --> 01:23:19,360
On the other hand, Lazio have four losses in their last five games.

1607
01:23:19,360 --> 01:23:22,480
Lazio, it's pretty, pretty bad.

1608
01:23:22,480 --> 01:23:24,720
They're down in ninth with 40 points.

1609
01:23:24,720 --> 01:23:29,280
Still, of course, European prospects for them, but they are not doing well at all.

1610
01:23:29,280 --> 01:23:33,000
And Sarri was probably right to resign.

1611
01:23:33,000 --> 01:23:36,200
Things had gone a little bit stale for him at Lazio.

1612
01:23:36,200 --> 01:23:40,920
Four losses in their last five is beyond worrying like.

1613
01:23:40,920 --> 01:23:43,040
Beyond concerning.

1614
01:23:43,040 --> 01:23:48,200
But next game, brother, Napoli one, Torino one, Napoli coming off a 2-1 win over Uwe,

1615
01:23:48,200 --> 01:23:51,920
Torino coming off a nil-nil home draw to Fiorentina.

1616
01:23:51,920 --> 01:23:57,360
The last time they played, I don't know what the result was because I have a mistake on

1617
01:23:57,360 --> 01:23:58,360
my notes.

1618
01:23:58,360 --> 01:24:00,760
Can you check that for me?

1619
01:24:00,760 --> 01:24:07,960
I have a previous encounter, Gen 1, Inter 1, excellent.

1620
01:24:07,960 --> 01:24:12,880
Napoli were without Caillouste and Engong due to injury, but well-accounted back Rahmani

1621
01:24:12,880 --> 01:24:14,880
into the matchday squad.

1622
01:24:14,880 --> 01:24:20,080
Torino had to do without Urech on the touchline, who served the second game of his two-match

1623
01:24:20,080 --> 01:24:25,240
ban after threatening to slit the other manager's throat.

1624
01:24:25,240 --> 01:24:29,920
The previous encounter, sorry to interrupt you by whacking your leg, it was a bit annoying.

1625
01:24:29,920 --> 01:24:33,400
They beat them, Torino beat Napoli 3-0 in the previous encounter.

1626
01:24:33,400 --> 01:24:35,160
The previous encounter, I remember that.

1627
01:24:35,160 --> 01:24:36,160
I remember that was a long ago.

1628
01:24:36,160 --> 01:24:38,360
Sanabria, Vlasic, Bonjourno.

1629
01:24:38,360 --> 01:24:39,360
My God.

1630
01:24:39,360 --> 01:24:40,360
Boom, boom, boom.

1631
01:24:40,360 --> 01:24:43,360
My God.

1632
01:24:43,360 --> 01:24:47,880
Richie was also suspended after his red card while Ilic Lovato shores and Tame is missed

1633
01:24:47,880 --> 01:24:50,200
out through injury.

1634
01:24:50,200 --> 01:24:57,960
4-3-3 for Napoli, Meret in goal and a backline of Rui, Jesus, Ostegard and Di Lorenzo, a

1635
01:24:57,960 --> 01:25:02,740
midfielder of Ziellinski, Lobotka and Aguissa, with Gvarn and Polita on a flanking Victor

1636
01:25:02,740 --> 01:25:08,000
Rosimen, 3-4-1-2 for Torino with Vania in goal and a backline of Gigi, Bonjourno and

1637
01:25:08,000 --> 01:25:13,560
Mazina, Bellanova and Rodriguez out on the flanks with Linnetti and Ginetis playing behind

1638
01:25:13,560 --> 01:25:19,920
Vlasic, who was playing behind Pelegri and Zapata.

1639
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:21,920
You looked at me like I did something wrong, bro.

1640
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:22,920
I don't know, did I?

1641
01:25:22,920 --> 01:25:23,920
Right now.

1642
01:25:23,920 --> 01:25:26,920
I thought I said something wrong.

1643
01:25:26,920 --> 01:25:29,440
Bro, Zin is in.

1644
01:25:29,440 --> 01:25:36,480
In the 14th minute, Vania Milinkovic-Savic denied Guevara in a 1v1 scenario after a swift counter

1645
01:25:36,480 --> 01:25:41,560
attack following a misplaced pass by Linnetti, that was the first great save of the game

1646
01:25:41,560 --> 01:25:42,560
by Vania.

1647
01:25:42,560 --> 01:25:48,000
In the 28th minute, Mered got down extremely well to deny a low bullet by Duván, and

1648
01:25:48,000 --> 01:25:53,320
the 43rd minute, the third great save of the match, and the second by Torino's Vania,

1649
01:25:53,320 --> 01:25:57,640
as he denied Guevara's flying header by scrambling to the far post.

1650
01:25:57,640 --> 01:26:02,040
In the 61st minute, Napoli opened the scoring through Guevara's Scalia as he carried the

1651
01:26:02,040 --> 01:26:06,280
ball forward and played it to Rui, who returned a brilliant early cross to the Georgian who

1652
01:26:06,280 --> 01:26:10,760
slid in and knocked the ball past Vania at the near post.

1653
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:15,080
Just three minutes later, however, Sanabria scored an overhead kick with his first touch

1654
01:26:15,080 --> 01:26:18,840
of the game from close range.

1655
01:26:18,840 --> 01:26:22,360
Brilliant slam dunk goal over there.

1656
01:26:22,360 --> 01:26:26,800
Napoli continued to threaten after this, but Vania was on top form, denying an Aussie-Man

1657
01:26:26,800 --> 01:26:30,880
volley, a Juan Jesus header, a long-range Guevara strike.

1658
01:26:30,880 --> 01:26:35,640
Guevara also got close with a knuckleball from outside the area, which just skimmed

1659
01:26:35,640 --> 01:26:39,720
the roof of the net, but that was pretty much the game.

1660
01:26:39,720 --> 01:26:46,160
So Napoli remain unbeaten under Calzona with two wins and two draws in four matches, 10

1661
01:26:46,160 --> 01:26:48,240
scored and four conceded.

1662
01:26:48,240 --> 01:26:52,600
They do look better going forward, but they have conceded in every single game they played

1663
01:26:52,600 --> 01:26:53,600
so far.

1664
01:26:53,600 --> 01:26:59,400
Yes, definitely a side that will concede goals.

1665
01:26:59,400 --> 01:27:05,080
They were up against the best of the rest in Torino, who as we mentioned are tight at

1666
01:27:05,080 --> 01:27:11,080
the back and have the possibility of scoring goals through Duvan Zapata, and that absolute

1667
01:27:11,080 --> 01:27:17,080
demon they have on the right, Raul Bellanova, especially nowadays, just feeding him.

1668
01:27:17,080 --> 01:27:22,120
But I do think that overall, play-wise, this is a positive for Napoli, and I do think that

1669
01:27:22,120 --> 01:27:26,960
they need to maintain this kind of approach and not change it up too much.

1670
01:27:26,960 --> 01:27:32,760
I don't know, man, would you risk it and keep this guy on for a while, try to get back what

1671
01:27:32,760 --> 01:27:36,760
Spalletti had to do, do you think you should go for an esteemed coach?

1672
01:27:36,760 --> 01:27:39,280
Keep him until the end of the season, hope he does well.

1673
01:27:39,280 --> 01:27:44,880
What kind of profile would you go for, if you were ideal?

1674
01:27:44,880 --> 01:27:50,600
I'm not too sure to be honest, it depends who is on the market, and it depends what

1675
01:27:50,600 --> 01:27:56,440
kind of signings they make in the summer, because probably with Ossimen leaving, he probably

1676
01:27:56,440 --> 01:27:58,520
will leave.

1677
01:27:58,520 --> 01:27:59,520
That's quite foretelling.

1678
01:27:59,520 --> 01:28:00,640
Can you reach that?

1679
01:28:00,640 --> 01:28:02,040
Can you reach that on the left?

1680
01:28:02,040 --> 01:28:04,840
The Ossimen bobblehead.

1681
01:28:04,840 --> 01:28:08,200
This happened earlier while we were setting up, and it's quite foreshadowing.

1682
01:28:08,200 --> 01:28:10,680
So these are Ossimen's legs, right?

1683
01:28:10,680 --> 01:28:14,200
I was putting them right here, and that's the rest of them, man.

1684
01:28:14,200 --> 01:28:15,200
Look what a shame.

1685
01:28:15,200 --> 01:28:17,760
Look at that.

1686
01:28:17,760 --> 01:28:18,760
What an idiot, eh?

1687
01:28:18,760 --> 01:28:20,720
I have one at home, I should bring it.

1688
01:28:20,720 --> 01:28:22,720
Oh, don't worry, I'll glue it.

1689
01:28:22,720 --> 01:28:25,040
I'm all about glue now.

1690
01:28:25,040 --> 01:28:26,360
We have the same bobbleheads.

1691
01:28:26,360 --> 01:28:27,360
You're not a negative.

1692
01:28:27,360 --> 01:28:33,320
Let's keep them here.

1693
01:28:33,320 --> 01:28:36,720
This must be frustrating for people that aren't watching on YouTube, haha, you should watch

1694
01:28:36,720 --> 01:28:37,720
on YouTube.

1695
01:28:37,720 --> 01:28:44,360
Not a hat, it's tough to say, because if you were to ask me now, I would say probably a

1696
01:28:44,360 --> 01:28:45,840
pressing attacking manager.

1697
01:28:45,840 --> 01:28:46,840
Like, sorry?

1698
01:28:46,840 --> 01:28:52,440
Someone, ooh, bring him back, baby, bring him back.

1699
01:28:52,440 --> 01:29:00,360
And with a Gagin press style, you know, that could bring a lot to the table, but I'm unsure,

1700
01:29:00,360 --> 01:29:03,080
because we don't know what pairs are going to stick around.

1701
01:29:03,080 --> 01:29:04,480
They're going to be without Ziellinsky.

1702
01:29:04,480 --> 01:29:07,400
They're probably going to be without Ossimen as well.

1703
01:29:07,400 --> 01:29:11,520
So going to be very interesting to see, but to be completely honest, I'm not entirely

1704
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:13,720
sure who I would go for.

1705
01:29:13,720 --> 01:29:17,120
Guevara is playing pretty fucking well on their couch, so on.

1706
01:29:17,120 --> 01:29:18,120
He's playing super, man.

1707
01:29:18,120 --> 01:29:19,640
Again, he's happy again, man.

1708
01:29:19,640 --> 01:29:22,240
He's playing really well.

1709
01:29:22,240 --> 01:29:23,360
He's the leader of this team.

1710
01:29:23,360 --> 01:29:30,920
At one point, it was like he was the kind of, I'm not good with superhero terminology,

1711
01:29:30,920 --> 01:29:33,000
bro, but Batman had Robin, was it?

1712
01:29:33,000 --> 01:29:34,000
Yes.

1713
01:29:34,000 --> 01:29:35,000
Okay.

1714
01:29:35,000 --> 01:29:36,080
Before it was the case that...

1715
01:29:36,080 --> 01:29:41,480
You're beyond the Graham Pollard, is for it, but...

1716
01:29:41,480 --> 01:29:44,480
Before it was Ossimen as Batman, right?

1717
01:29:44,480 --> 01:29:46,360
And Guevara was Robin.

1718
01:29:46,360 --> 01:29:50,520
That was the case last season for me, at least, because Ossimen was on play.

1719
01:29:50,520 --> 01:29:54,640
Granted, Guevara had a fantastic season, but Ossimen was the main guy up front.

1720
01:29:54,640 --> 01:29:58,600
The terrifying person everyone was terrified of.

1721
01:29:58,600 --> 01:30:01,600
Nowadays, it's like Ossimen has taken a backseat.

1722
01:30:01,600 --> 01:30:07,480
I don't know if it's because he's already got, like, mentally he's out of there or not,

1723
01:30:07,480 --> 01:30:11,640
but Guevara seems to be Batman this season, basically, is what I'm trying to say.

1724
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:16,200
He was out at Afqon to be completely honest, but when he came back, he got off to a good

1725
01:30:16,200 --> 01:30:17,200
start.

1726
01:30:17,200 --> 01:30:22,200
He's a contender for Player of the Month, to be completely honest.

1727
01:30:22,200 --> 01:30:30,480
Obviously, he's being totally outshined this season by other strikers, especially Lautarro

1728
01:30:30,480 --> 01:30:34,560
Martinez and probably Duzan Vladovic as well.

1729
01:30:34,560 --> 01:30:41,200
So still, despite being away at Afqon, a significant decrease from his form last year.

1730
01:30:41,200 --> 01:30:42,200
Aha.

1731
01:30:42,200 --> 01:30:46,200
I think part of it is his frustration with the club, the fact that he wants out.

1732
01:30:46,200 --> 01:30:52,360
In fact, that he feels as though after winning them the league last year, being the protagonist

1733
01:30:52,360 --> 01:31:00,840
in that team one, because obviously Robin was pretty fucking strong last year, Guevara.

1734
01:31:00,840 --> 01:31:06,520
He feels as though he was the player that managed to get them over the line, the superstar.

1735
01:31:06,520 --> 01:31:13,280
He remained loyal his day at Napoli for another season, and they betrayed him through the TikTok

1736
01:31:13,280 --> 01:31:18,040
video and so on and so forth, and perhaps mistreating him a little bit.

1737
01:31:18,040 --> 01:31:23,640
And now, I think, followed by a bit of rough form, he's fed up and a way out seems like

1738
01:31:23,640 --> 01:31:26,920
a decent move for him.

1739
01:31:26,920 --> 01:31:31,240
Yes, it must be very frustrating for Napoli fans to hear the two best players, at least

1740
01:31:31,240 --> 01:31:37,480
now Guevara has said I'm staying here, but they have both flirted with potential departures

1741
01:31:37,480 --> 01:31:39,560
and other clubs and other leagues.

1742
01:31:39,560 --> 01:31:44,360
Did you see, before we forget to mention it, De Laurentis walking onto the pitch while

1743
01:31:44,360 --> 01:31:49,600
Poletano was talking to Skye, and he took him by the hand and pulled him away, turned

1744
01:31:49,600 --> 01:31:55,040
to the reporter and started shouting at him and scolding him, pointing his finger in his

1745
01:31:55,040 --> 01:32:01,440
face, telling him we don't talk to Skye, you are not worthy journalists to talk to, you've

1746
01:32:01,440 --> 01:32:06,680
got an agenda, blah, blah, blah, essentially, and he's pulled Poletano like a kid, by his

1747
01:32:06,680 --> 01:32:07,680
hand.

1748
01:32:07,680 --> 01:32:08,680
It was hilarious.

1749
01:32:08,680 --> 01:32:15,920
I really don't like him, I really don't fucking like ADL.

1750
01:32:15,920 --> 01:32:18,360
Like who does he think he is?

1751
01:32:18,360 --> 01:32:19,360
Like we don't talk to Skye.

1752
01:32:19,360 --> 01:32:23,640
Do you think he's a film writer and the owner of a prestigious football club?

1753
01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:31,320
I mean, yes, and his profile is what it is, and he got a lot of success to Napoli, he

1754
01:32:31,320 --> 01:32:37,440
made them the team that they are today, but just his theatrics like this, I'm not a massive

1755
01:32:37,440 --> 01:32:45,160
fan of like, I'm also not a massive fan of players giving press conferences or speaking

1756
01:32:45,160 --> 01:32:47,160
to reporters at halftime.

1757
01:32:47,160 --> 01:32:49,640
At halftime, but sometimes they're encouraged by the club.

1758
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:55,640
Clearly not the case this time, Poletano was there like, I go close, do you see what I

1759
01:32:55,640 --> 01:32:57,640
did there on the left?

1760
01:32:57,640 --> 01:33:05,400
I find it weird, I find it weird speaking before halftime, but anyway, Vanya had a spectacular

1761
01:33:05,400 --> 01:33:11,240
game over here, he had seven saves, four of them were really, really good to say the least

1762
01:33:11,240 --> 01:33:15,520
against a team that once they start attacking, it's hard to stop them.

1763
01:33:15,520 --> 01:33:23,440
We saw them put six past the likes of Sasvolo, not over eight Sasvolo, but the teams don't

1764
01:33:23,440 --> 01:33:26,840
typically put six past them.

1765
01:33:26,840 --> 01:33:33,920
But he was very much the factor that was capable of getting this team one point.

1766
01:33:33,920 --> 01:33:38,480
I remember the last time Torino won this game, Buon Giorno had done a spectacular job at

1767
01:33:38,480 --> 01:33:43,080
keeping Gossima quiet and again, he did a good job over there again in this game, but

1768
01:33:43,080 --> 01:33:48,480
the protagonist for Torino absolutely had to be Vanya Milinkovic-Savic.

1769
01:33:48,480 --> 01:33:54,120
Absolutely, Vanya Milinkovic-Savic is a player who has quite an impressive CV.

1770
01:33:54,120 --> 01:33:57,960
He was actually a Manchester United for a while in his career.

1771
01:33:57,960 --> 01:34:02,360
He was at Spal, he was at Ascoli, I swear to God, he was a Manchester United on loan

1772
01:34:02,360 --> 01:34:10,000
in 2014, 2015, played for Ascoli, Standard Lige, Spal, yeah.

1773
01:34:10,000 --> 01:34:15,800
So yes, he's been known to be a good goalkeeper for a while, he's only 27 years old, despite

1774
01:34:15,800 --> 01:34:19,920
his monstrous appearance.

1775
01:34:19,920 --> 01:34:23,200
I would take him to war with me.

1776
01:34:23,200 --> 01:34:26,440
I was going to war with Vanya, you're coming with me, bro.

1777
01:34:26,440 --> 01:34:32,160
Absolutely, I'm taking him to St. Patrick's with a Sunday.

1778
01:34:32,160 --> 01:34:36,520
If Milan had to moneyball someone, you know the whole moneyball approach where you sell

1779
01:34:36,520 --> 01:34:43,400
a player for an exorbitant price and then you bring in three, four players who are just

1780
01:34:43,400 --> 01:34:48,760
as good to strengthen the team basically, if Milan were to sell money on, I wouldn't

1781
01:34:48,760 --> 01:34:52,280
be opposed to bringing in someone like Vanya Milinkovic-Savic.

1782
01:34:52,280 --> 01:34:55,720
Ideally it would be the Gregorio, but Vanya is a cute second.

1783
01:34:55,720 --> 01:35:03,840
Vanya is the type of player man where you have a heated game, he's a shit talker, he's

1784
01:35:03,840 --> 01:35:08,240
a taunter, he'll keep that defense together, he's big, he's imposing control.

1785
01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:10,680
He'll take up free kick, bro, he'll take up energy.

1786
01:35:10,680 --> 01:35:16,080
Guys, if you have never seen it, Google Milinkovic-Savic free kick, Vanya Milinkovic-Savic free

1787
01:35:16,080 --> 01:35:22,200
kick, at one point, I don't know if it was Mazzarri, I don't know who was the manager,

1788
01:35:22,200 --> 01:35:23,360
to be honest, I can't remember.

1789
01:35:23,360 --> 01:35:29,800
But they had a free kick and say, quite a bit out, quite a way out.

1790
01:35:29,800 --> 01:35:34,200
Outside, what was it, how many yards out would you say?

1791
01:35:34,200 --> 01:35:37,000
25, 30 yards out, I think 30.

1792
01:35:37,000 --> 01:35:44,360
And Vanya steps up, Vanya, the goalkeeper, and just smacks it into the crossbar, smacks

1793
01:35:44,360 --> 01:35:45,360
it, bro.

1794
01:35:45,360 --> 01:35:48,360
Madonna, that's a portiere attacante.

1795
01:35:48,360 --> 01:35:53,040
That's a portiere attacante where we've seen one, not about Vanya.

1796
01:35:53,040 --> 01:36:00,400
Napoleon 7th on 44 points, when it comes to their pursuit for Europe, say top four, there

1797
01:36:00,400 --> 01:36:05,600
are currently seven points behind Bologna, four points behind Roma, if fifth place is

1798
01:36:05,600 --> 01:36:10,640
going to offer Italian teams Champions League, so they're still not completely out of it

1799
01:36:10,640 --> 01:36:11,640
either.

1800
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:16,080
Torino on the other hand are in 11th on 38 points and they actually have fallen behind

1801
01:36:16,080 --> 01:36:18,640
Monza on 39.

1802
01:36:18,640 --> 01:36:27,880
Yes, Calieri took on Salernitana in the game I was the most excited for to watch this weekend.

1803
01:36:27,880 --> 01:36:32,800
It was literally so, Salernitana couldn't do it against Tenman Odineza, we would hope

1804
01:36:32,800 --> 01:36:38,480
they would do it against Calieri who were their relegation rivals, quite frankly.

1805
01:36:38,480 --> 01:36:42,000
Salernitana had to win, it was a must win game.

1806
01:36:42,000 --> 01:36:48,200
The game before was a 2-2 draw, as they should be competitive between these sides.

1807
01:36:48,200 --> 01:36:53,840
Now Calieri started with a 4-4 1-1 formation with Skoufet in goal, Zappa as the right back

1808
01:36:53,840 --> 01:36:57,960
and Augello as the left back with Yerimin and Dossan as the centre back partnership.

1809
01:36:57,960 --> 01:37:01,880
Nandes was out on the right with Youngto out on the left, Deoland, Macombour in the middle

1810
01:37:01,880 --> 01:37:05,680
with Gaitano playing behind La Padula.

1811
01:37:05,680 --> 01:37:09,960
For Salernitana it was Ochoa in goal and a 4-3-1-2 formation with Brother Rich and Zanoli as the

1812
01:37:09,960 --> 01:37:16,200
full backs, Fazio and Manon as the centre back partnership with Castanos, Maggiore and Cullibali

1813
01:37:16,200 --> 01:37:21,720
as the midfield 3, Visman and Ciorna were up front with Candrava playing as the trecuartista

1814
01:37:21,720 --> 01:37:22,720
behind them.

1815
01:37:22,720 --> 01:37:24,720
Are they trying all this new stuff?

1816
01:37:24,720 --> 01:37:25,720
All this new shit.

1817
01:37:25,720 --> 01:37:27,720
Why did you change it so much?

1818
01:37:27,720 --> 01:37:33,280
So yes, I think the entire point of starting with Fazio and Manolas would be to overpower

1819
01:37:33,280 --> 01:37:35,080
La Padula, right?

1820
01:37:35,080 --> 01:37:40,840
Because Paavoletti of course was out, as was Petania.

1821
01:37:40,840 --> 01:37:45,120
In fact there was quite a long injury list, Lovumbo was out, Mancozou, Paavoletti, Petania

1822
01:37:45,120 --> 01:37:52,080
and Solamana for Kaliari, whereas for Salernitana Boateng, Gionber and Pirazzi were out at the

1823
01:37:52,080 --> 01:37:53,600
back.

1824
01:37:53,600 --> 01:37:58,480
He started with Fazio and Manolas anyway to give himself kind of a height advantage against

1825
01:37:58,480 --> 01:38:01,000
La Padula, but he played a high line.

1826
01:38:01,000 --> 01:38:06,520
Salernitana played a very, very fucking high line, which didn't make any sense at all.

1827
01:38:06,520 --> 01:38:11,440
In fact it only took 12 minutes for La Padula to get the ball, given to him by Zappa.

1828
01:38:11,440 --> 01:38:15,400
He dribbled everyone, including the goalkeeper, he basically walked it into the back of the

1829
01:38:15,400 --> 01:38:16,400
net, what a goal by La Padula.

1830
01:38:16,400 --> 01:38:20,880
He dribbled the keeper and then he dribbled the last man that was behind the goalkeeper

1831
01:38:20,880 --> 01:38:21,880
as well.

1832
01:38:21,880 --> 01:38:24,520
He just tapped it in really clumsily at the end.

1833
01:38:24,520 --> 01:38:26,920
La Padula is an absolute hero, must be said.

1834
01:38:26,920 --> 01:38:31,920
He has only scored, this was only his second goal I believe in Seiya this season, but in

1835
01:38:31,920 --> 01:38:35,520
Seiya B last season it was a big factor of course to get them promoted, right?

1836
01:38:35,520 --> 01:38:41,760
And the playoff he was, the king, you know, the La Padula.

1837
01:38:41,760 --> 01:38:43,880
You know that shit, love it.

1838
01:38:43,880 --> 01:38:49,880
In the 40th minute of course Kalyari would expose Salernitana's high line once again,

1839
01:38:49,880 --> 01:38:53,880
this time it was Nate Hernandez sprinting forward and looping the ball with the perfect

1840
01:38:53,880 --> 01:38:59,440
amount of weight on it to Gaitano, who finished Cooley to extend his goal scoring form what

1841
01:38:59,440 --> 01:39:01,720
a lone spell this has been for Gaitano.

1842
01:39:01,720 --> 01:39:06,560
Now to think that now Gaitano and Followeru show out, right?

1843
01:39:06,560 --> 01:39:11,560
In the 51st minute was Eldor Shomorodov starting to score, everyone and their mother was scoring.

1844
01:39:11,560 --> 01:39:15,480
Eldor Shomorodov hadn't scored in ages and his last goal actually came against Salernitana

1845
01:39:15,480 --> 01:39:17,080
as well.

1846
01:39:17,080 --> 01:39:23,240
And yes, this would be 3-0 in the 51st minute of course now Salernitana are pissed.

1847
01:39:23,240 --> 01:39:27,640
Kastanoss managed to get one back, thanks to his unholy assist, Majora scored the header

1848
01:39:27,640 --> 01:39:31,320
from a Kandreva corner, there's suddenly 3-2, you know they managed to have a good spell,

1849
01:39:31,320 --> 01:39:36,960
everything, oh my god game one, Kansalernitana do it, but then once again Kaliari exposed

1850
01:39:36,960 --> 01:39:41,480
the high line, look at this by the way, look at this substitution, okay?

1851
01:39:41,480 --> 01:39:47,600
56th minute Kastanoss goal, 58th minute Majora goal, they're back in it, 65th minute Simi

1852
01:39:47,600 --> 01:39:52,520
and Wangkwo won instead of Vismann, who's looking lively, Vismann has been decent, you

1853
01:39:52,520 --> 01:39:53,520
know as a player.

1854
01:39:53,520 --> 01:39:57,560
Why would you bring on Simi who's known to be kind of more of a defensive striker?

1855
01:39:57,560 --> 01:40:03,760
You play Simi if you want to press, if you want to play a tight 4-4-2, you know kind

1856
01:40:03,760 --> 01:40:08,640
of like, he's not the player who's going to get you goals.

1857
01:40:08,640 --> 01:40:14,160
It's always interesting to see a substitution that counters the momentum that the team apparently

1858
01:40:14,160 --> 01:40:15,160
have, right?

1859
01:40:15,160 --> 01:40:19,040
Like you're doing well, give them a minute, they're doing well, let them figure it out,

1860
01:40:19,040 --> 01:40:20,840
maybe they'll come back.

1861
01:40:20,840 --> 01:40:25,600
And then in the 66th minute the Tinker man, Tinker the bed brought on three new men and

1862
01:40:25,600 --> 01:40:30,600
in the 76th minute Eldor Shomorodov absolutely humiliated Fazio.

1863
01:40:30,600 --> 01:40:35,520
Fazio will never play football again after that.

1864
01:40:35,520 --> 01:40:40,200
It was hard to watch, the ball hit him in the face and then he was dribbled twice and

1865
01:40:40,200 --> 01:40:45,720
then Shomorodov chipped Ochoa and then went round him and tapped it into the back of the

1866
01:40:45,720 --> 01:40:46,720
net.

1867
01:40:46,720 --> 01:40:47,720
Yeah, he chipped Ochoa, it was a rebound.

1868
01:40:47,720 --> 01:40:52,960
But he attempted to chip him, he kind of managed because Ochoa got chipped.

1869
01:40:52,960 --> 01:40:58,960
But I could literally hear Fazio wheezing when he was just like, he was like going left,

1870
01:40:58,960 --> 01:40:59,960
going right.

1871
01:40:59,960 --> 01:41:02,960
Yeah, he couldn't do anything.

1872
01:41:02,960 --> 01:41:07,240
To the right Shomorodov was significantly struggled in the area.

1873
01:41:07,240 --> 01:41:15,440
They ran rampant man and this was a massive victory for Kaliari who have pretty much,

1874
01:41:15,440 --> 01:41:18,240
not okay they haven't confirmed safety definitely not far from it.

1875
01:41:18,240 --> 01:41:19,240
Absolutely not.

1876
01:41:19,240 --> 01:41:20,760
No, no, like 10 games to go of course.

1877
01:41:20,760 --> 01:41:25,480
But they have got some breathing room, you know, they've jumped the likes of Sasvolo

1878
01:41:25,480 --> 01:41:28,040
for Sonona, Empoli and Lecce with this victory.

1879
01:41:28,040 --> 01:41:29,440
They're up to 15th.

1880
01:41:29,440 --> 01:41:34,520
So a massive victory for them while Salernitan are down and as I mentioned in the intro Sabatini

1881
01:41:34,520 --> 01:41:40,200
has pretty much admitted that the January signings did not have the impact that he

1882
01:41:40,200 --> 01:41:44,040
wishes they had and that he wants the fans to stay with the team until the end of the

1883
01:41:44,040 --> 01:41:45,040
season.

1884
01:41:45,040 --> 01:41:46,560
Yeah, I'm pretty much confirming that they're over.

1885
01:41:46,560 --> 01:41:49,840
So now it's just going to be the kids for Salernitan for the rest of the season probably.

1886
01:41:49,840 --> 01:41:56,800
Bro, keep in mind all it takes is Kaliari to lose a game and one of these...

1887
01:41:56,800 --> 01:41:58,680
No Kaliari aren't out at all, don't get me wrong.

1888
01:41:58,680 --> 01:42:00,440
They've just got some breathing room.

1889
01:42:00,440 --> 01:42:04,120
It's crazy to go from 19th to 15th.

1890
01:42:04,120 --> 01:42:05,120
Undefeated in four.

1891
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:06,120
Yeah.

1892
01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:07,120
Two draws, two wins.

1893
01:42:07,120 --> 01:42:08,960
That's all it takes man, a good run.

1894
01:42:08,960 --> 01:42:13,040
Too late for Salernitan of course but the others it could be anyone.

1895
01:42:13,040 --> 01:42:17,600
Could be absolutely anyone and that's what's so crazy about the league this season.

1896
01:42:17,600 --> 01:42:20,320
If it's not tight at the top it's definitely tight at the bottom.

1897
01:42:20,320 --> 01:42:22,760
I heard that after I said it.

1898
01:42:22,760 --> 01:42:23,760
Haha, yeah.

1899
01:42:23,760 --> 01:42:24,760
Hello.

1900
01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:27,240
So that's pretty much it for this game man.

1901
01:42:27,240 --> 01:42:32,120
When it comes to wonderful mentions performance wise man I thought Deola had a pretty decent

1902
01:42:32,120 --> 01:42:38,200
game in the middle even though I'm a man who doesn't really enjoy Deola as a player.

1903
01:42:38,200 --> 01:42:40,160
He had some really good passes.

1904
01:42:40,160 --> 01:42:41,840
Gaitan of course has been really good.

1905
01:42:41,840 --> 01:42:45,320
Lapadoula really stepped up, Nandes stepped up a lot.

1906
01:42:45,320 --> 01:42:49,000
I thought the defence was pretty good with Yerimin and Dossin I think they're doing pretty

1907
01:42:49,000 --> 01:42:50,000
well.

1908
01:42:50,000 --> 01:42:55,720
When it comes to Salernitan others, much to say, this Chouana guy looks pretty exciting.

1909
01:42:55,720 --> 01:43:00,160
Kastanos is a bit frustrating as a player granted he scored but he demands the ball

1910
01:43:00,160 --> 01:43:01,160
a lot.

1911
01:43:01,160 --> 01:43:02,160
He's a bit selfish.

1912
01:43:02,160 --> 01:43:06,640
Him and Kandreva seem to have a thing where they play together and they exclude the others.

1913
01:43:06,640 --> 01:43:07,640
Haha.

1914
01:43:07,640 --> 01:43:14,440
Yeah, not a good performance by Salernitan whatsoever and Leverani said if the players

1915
01:43:14,440 --> 01:43:19,280
were going out there and weren't doing what I told them to do I would resign.

1916
01:43:19,280 --> 01:43:21,600
That's what he said.

1917
01:43:21,600 --> 01:43:22,600
Genius.

1918
01:43:22,600 --> 01:43:26,400
He's basically saying they were being my every instruction so I'm not going to resign.

1919
01:43:26,400 --> 01:43:28,600
So they're losing because I'm shit as well.

1920
01:43:28,600 --> 01:43:29,600
Exactly.

1921
01:43:29,600 --> 01:43:30,600
At least he's honest.

1922
01:43:30,600 --> 01:43:34,120
They're getting absolutely merked in relegations six pointers man.

1923
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:38,160
They go merked against Empoli, they go merked against Kaliarino.

1924
01:43:38,160 --> 01:43:45,920
And it's like Empoli beat them under Davide Nikola and they were on a high.

1925
01:43:45,920 --> 01:43:48,640
Now they lost to Kaliarino and Kaliari were on a high.

1926
01:43:48,640 --> 01:43:52,440
Okay, name the last time Salernitan were on a high this season.

1927
01:43:52,440 --> 01:43:53,440
They simply haven't been.

1928
01:43:53,440 --> 01:43:56,160
They haven't been ever.

1929
01:43:56,160 --> 01:43:58,360
The best that they were was under Pippo and Zargi.

1930
01:43:58,360 --> 01:43:59,360
Yeah.

1931
01:43:59,360 --> 01:44:00,360
They were losing every game.

1932
01:44:00,360 --> 01:44:01,360
They were losing every game.

1933
01:44:01,360 --> 01:44:05,000
That was the sexiest they've ever had.

1934
01:44:05,000 --> 01:44:09,520
They would have ever been this season, frustrating stuff.

1935
01:44:09,520 --> 01:44:15,200
I feel so bad for Salernitan fans because they're some of the best fans in the league.

1936
01:44:15,200 --> 01:44:17,520
But now it's all about Kaliari baby.

1937
01:44:17,520 --> 01:44:20,920
Okay, now back to basics.

1938
01:44:20,920 --> 01:44:23,440
Very cool bro.

1939
01:44:23,440 --> 01:44:25,400
Do you remember that was?

1940
01:44:25,400 --> 01:44:26,400
Justin Timberlake bro.

1941
01:44:26,400 --> 01:44:27,400
Was it Justin?

1942
01:44:27,400 --> 01:44:31,000
I was going to say he was really just the one time.

1943
01:44:31,000 --> 01:44:32,920
No, it was Justin Timberlake.

1944
01:44:32,920 --> 01:44:35,120
The one time he tried Rapinole.

1945
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:36,120
Oh, it was Robby Williams.

1946
01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:37,120
The one time he tried Rapinole.

1947
01:44:37,120 --> 01:44:38,120
I have.

1948
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:40,120
I don't know.

1949
01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:42,240
Okay, now back to basics.

1950
01:44:42,240 --> 01:44:43,240
Representant.

1951
01:44:43,240 --> 01:44:46,520
They divided that down his pie when you whip your hair.

1952
01:44:46,520 --> 01:44:48,360
What's that song called?

1953
01:44:48,360 --> 01:44:49,360
That's not sexy.

1954
01:44:49,360 --> 01:44:50,360
Back is it, man.

1955
01:44:50,360 --> 01:44:51,360
Whatever.

1956
01:44:51,360 --> 01:44:52,360
Whatever.

1957
01:44:52,360 --> 01:44:53,360
Right.

1958
01:44:53,360 --> 01:44:54,360
Okay, now back to basics.

1959
01:44:54,360 --> 01:44:55,360
We'll see.

1960
01:44:55,360 --> 01:44:56,360
Okay, now back to basics.

1961
01:44:56,360 --> 01:45:00,400
Let's channel Verona one, the other relegation six pointer.

1962
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:01,400
I have bro.

1963
01:45:01,400 --> 01:45:07,480
Really, one of the most interesting segues we've had on this podcast.

1964
01:45:07,480 --> 01:45:08,880
Robby Williams, Rudebox.

1965
01:45:08,880 --> 01:45:09,880
Rudebox.

1966
01:45:09,880 --> 01:45:10,880
What a.

1967
01:45:10,880 --> 01:45:11,880
Wow.

1968
01:45:11,880 --> 01:45:16,720
That was a weird segue for Robby Williams.

1969
01:45:16,720 --> 01:45:17,720
Yeah.

1970
01:45:17,720 --> 01:45:18,720
Wow.

1971
01:45:18,720 --> 01:45:21,600
And now he's doing cat adverts.

1972
01:45:21,600 --> 01:45:23,760
It's great to be a cat.

1973
01:45:23,760 --> 01:45:26,760
I don't know.

1974
01:45:26,760 --> 01:45:37,600
Back to this Rob Williams doing cat commercials.

1975
01:45:37,600 --> 01:45:40,360
Please let you know.

1976
01:45:40,360 --> 01:45:44,160
Verona one and the other relegation six pointer.

1977
01:45:44,160 --> 01:45:49,440
Now despite the fierce ongoing relegation dogfight and seriat the moment in which this

1978
01:45:49,440 --> 01:45:53,840
match was obviously of great importance, the headlines were focused on the post match

1979
01:45:53,840 --> 01:46:00,000
brawl between the two teams which resulted in lecture manager, the versa head butting

1980
01:46:00,000 --> 01:46:03,160
Verona striker, Thomas on three.

1981
01:46:03,160 --> 01:46:05,080
Both were red carded and diverse.

1982
01:46:05,080 --> 01:46:11,360
I was immediately sacked as a result of this replaced by former Odineza man, Gotti lecture.

1983
01:46:11,360 --> 01:46:17,120
We're coming off a one one away draw to frozen on it was Verona were coming off a one nil

1984
01:46:17,120 --> 01:46:18,840
win over Saswolo.

1985
01:46:18,840 --> 01:46:24,160
The previous encounter between these two teams resulted in a two to draw.

1986
01:46:24,160 --> 01:46:28,840
Other results this weekend put even more pressure on the two teams in this relegation dogfight.

1987
01:46:28,840 --> 01:46:33,840
The hosts have lost Kaba for the rest of the season with a tour in ACL while Hellas had

1988
01:46:33,840 --> 01:46:37,360
Davidovic suspended.

1989
01:46:37,360 --> 01:46:42,560
It was a 4 3 3 formation for Lecce with Falco and Engol and a backline of Jean Dre, Pongra

1990
01:46:42,560 --> 01:46:48,920
Cic, Basquerotto and Gallo and midfield three of Gonzalez, Ramadani and Udon with Banda

1991
01:46:48,920 --> 01:46:52,640
and Alcvest flanking Kristovic.

1992
01:46:52,640 --> 01:46:57,800
A 4 2 3 1 formation for Hellas with Monte Po and Goul and a backline of Ciaccia, Maniani,

1993
01:46:57,800 --> 01:46:59,800
Coppola and Cabal.

1994
01:46:59,800 --> 01:47:07,200
Duda and Serdar in the double pivot or as we say Erda Duda, Suslov, Lazovic and Falerovich

1995
01:47:07,200 --> 01:47:11,400
are playing behind Tiani Nuslin.

1996
01:47:11,400 --> 01:47:15,760
Now in the 16th minute Follow Runshaw opened the scoring, Follow Runshaw's low strike

1997
01:47:15,760 --> 01:47:20,920
from outside the area took a heavy deflection off of Basquerotto guiding the ball into the

1998
01:47:20,920 --> 01:47:21,920
bottom corner.

1999
01:47:21,920 --> 01:47:23,920
Keep it together Jay.

2000
01:47:23,920 --> 01:47:25,920
He caught me off guard.

2001
01:47:25,920 --> 01:47:30,240
You're not going to explain it Erda Duda.

2002
01:47:30,240 --> 01:47:34,640
I've told them before it was the first time I was saying Duda means Willy.

2003
01:47:34,640 --> 01:47:37,400
They don't know what Erda means.

2004
01:47:37,400 --> 01:47:43,880
Erda means to suck right so Serdar and Duda it's interesting to put them in a double

2005
01:47:43,880 --> 01:47:47,400
pivot here say.

2006
01:47:47,400 --> 01:47:51,920
Lecce thought they had a lifeline when they were awarded a penalty in the 23rd minute

2007
01:47:51,920 --> 01:47:57,400
after Maniani's handball deflected Lamek Banda's shot.

2008
01:47:57,400 --> 01:48:02,680
However the decision was overturned following a VAR review determining that Maniani's arms

2009
01:48:02,680 --> 01:48:06,800
were close to his body and there was little he could do to avoid the contact.

2010
01:48:06,800 --> 01:48:11,840
In the 28th minute Udhan's ferocious cross was heading forward and required a touch onto

2011
01:48:11,840 --> 01:48:14,920
the crossbar by Montepoit to deny the Frenchman.

2012
01:48:14,920 --> 01:48:20,120
In the 31st minute Lecce hit the crossbar for a second time as Anquist's looping

2013
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:23,840
Thierry Agira bounce off the crossbar.

2014
01:48:23,840 --> 01:48:27,800
I'm like Anquist had a looping tyre what did I write over there?

2015
01:48:27,800 --> 01:48:29,800
I thought it was 111.

2016
01:48:29,800 --> 01:48:33,640
De Marcon Griezmann scored.

2017
01:48:33,640 --> 01:48:39,080
In the 43rd minute Montepoit pulled off an excellent save to deny Kristoffic's header

2018
01:48:39,080 --> 01:48:47,200
but at the end of the game not a comfortable win at all for Verona after Lecce were threatening

2019
01:48:47,200 --> 01:48:52,440
so much but Verona did manage to get it over the line.

2020
01:48:52,440 --> 01:49:00,000
There was a tense finale at the end it ended in a dramatic altercation as Lecce's manager

2021
01:49:00,000 --> 01:49:03,880
d'Aversa headbutted Thomas Henri resulting in the red card.

2022
01:49:03,880 --> 01:49:05,960
This is what he had to say.

2023
01:49:05,960 --> 01:49:10,480
I came into contact head to head with Henri but I did not hit the Veronese player with

2024
01:49:10,480 --> 01:49:15,000
a headbutt nor did I receive one from him.

2025
01:49:15,000 --> 01:49:20,560
It was a physical contact, a bad example, an unsportsmanlike image resulting from great

2026
01:49:20,560 --> 01:49:27,560
tension and adrenaline which however must not and do not want to be my excuses or mitigating

2027
01:49:27,560 --> 01:49:28,560
factors.

2028
01:49:28,560 --> 01:49:30,560
He said a whole lot of nothing.

2029
01:49:30,560 --> 01:49:32,560
He said a whole lot of nothing.

2030
01:49:32,560 --> 01:49:35,840
I said I didn't do it, he didn't do it.

2031
01:49:35,840 --> 01:49:36,840
Ah passion.

2032
01:49:36,840 --> 01:49:40,000
Sometimes it happens but it shouldn't.

2033
01:49:40,000 --> 01:49:41,000
Exactly.

2034
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:46,080
Do you think if a manager does that there should be a zero bullshit policy?

2035
01:49:46,080 --> 01:49:48,040
Well it depends on the manager.

2036
01:49:48,040 --> 01:49:51,640
I think for Lecce at this point it was more an excuse to get them out of there because

2037
01:49:51,640 --> 01:49:53,640
it hasn't been good in a while.

2038
01:49:53,640 --> 01:50:02,440
He's walking with his laces on.

2039
01:50:02,440 --> 01:50:04,160
I think it depends on the manager.

2040
01:50:04,160 --> 01:50:06,640
I highly doubt you're going to have Pep Guardiola and you're going to sack him because he

2041
01:50:06,640 --> 01:50:08,960
goes head to head with another player.

2042
01:50:08,960 --> 01:50:14,200
I think it very much depends on the situation and on the club.

2043
01:50:14,200 --> 01:50:19,360
Well needless to say they did sack him and they've appointed Gotti who holds two degrees.

2044
01:50:19,360 --> 01:50:21,880
He has two degrees Gotti.

2045
01:50:21,880 --> 01:50:26,640
He has one in pedagogy.

2046
01:50:26,640 --> 01:50:30,640
Yes this is just a fun fact.

2047
01:50:30,640 --> 01:50:31,760
He's got two degrees.

2048
01:50:31,760 --> 01:50:35,120
One in pedagogy and the other in sports sciences.

2049
01:50:35,120 --> 01:50:40,800
A very different profile compared to the previous coach, Daversa.

2050
01:50:40,800 --> 01:50:46,680
Has experience working with you teams at Milan and Regina.

2051
01:50:46,680 --> 01:50:53,240
He began his coaching career in November 2019 with Odineze where he was sacked after one

2052
01:50:53,240 --> 01:50:54,760
win in 13.

2053
01:50:54,760 --> 01:50:59,040
So it is a gamble going for Gotti.

2054
01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:04,200
That word you said is the method and practice of teaching especially as an academic subject

2055
01:51:04,200 --> 01:51:07,080
or theatrical concept.

2056
01:51:07,080 --> 01:51:08,080
Pedagogy.

2057
01:51:08,080 --> 01:51:09,080
Yeah.

2058
01:51:09,080 --> 01:51:10,080
So look it up.

2059
01:51:10,080 --> 01:51:12,560
He's going to educate these motherfuckers.

2060
01:51:12,560 --> 01:51:16,520
And win one game in 13 and get sacked.

2061
01:51:16,520 --> 01:51:18,960
What do you make of that appointment like Gotti?

2062
01:51:18,960 --> 01:51:20,920
Conservative appointment.

2063
01:51:20,920 --> 01:51:23,480
Someone who will tighten things up at the back.

2064
01:51:23,480 --> 01:51:31,000
The idea for Lecce right now is to just scrape survival and Gotti is a guy who has quite

2065
01:51:31,000 --> 01:51:33,760
a lot of experience in relegation battles.

2066
01:51:33,760 --> 01:51:39,360
I think compared to the profiles who are available Gotti is one of the better ones.

2067
01:51:39,360 --> 01:51:40,360
You know he's a Daneze.

2068
01:51:40,360 --> 01:51:45,280
It was quite tough at one point before it went tits up towards the end.

2069
01:51:45,280 --> 01:51:46,600
So I don't think it's too bad.

2070
01:51:46,600 --> 01:51:50,560
Especially when it's so last minute right your coach had butt someone.

2071
01:51:50,560 --> 01:51:51,560
Who's available.

2072
01:51:51,560 --> 01:51:52,560
Yakinie.

2073
01:51:52,560 --> 01:51:53,560
No, not Yakinie.

2074
01:51:53,560 --> 01:51:54,560
Simplici.

2075
01:51:54,560 --> 01:51:55,560
No, not Simplici.

2076
01:51:55,560 --> 01:51:57,040
I reckon that no.

2077
01:51:57,040 --> 01:51:59,720
I reckon that no.

2078
01:51:59,720 --> 01:52:03,200
You know that being in contact with someone that have someone on the radar.

2079
01:52:03,200 --> 01:52:08,880
You know I think that especially you know the fans haven't been happy with Deverza for

2080
01:52:08,880 --> 01:52:09,880
a while.

2081
01:52:09,880 --> 01:52:15,560
I guess he would have been in the pipeline for quite some time.

2082
01:52:15,560 --> 01:52:16,560
Potenge.

2083
01:52:16,560 --> 01:52:20,600
Folleroon Shaw got his fourth goal of the season from Napoli.

2084
01:52:20,600 --> 01:52:21,880
He really has been a sensation.

2085
01:52:21,880 --> 01:52:22,880
Is it only his fourth?

2086
01:52:22,880 --> 01:52:23,880
He scored more.

2087
01:52:23,880 --> 01:52:26,880
I think they were all fucking insane.

2088
01:52:26,880 --> 01:52:29,880
This one took a deflection but still decent goal.

2089
01:52:29,880 --> 01:52:30,880
Michael, he made the cover.

2090
01:52:30,880 --> 01:52:33,600
If you didn't recognise him because he came a bit weird.

2091
01:52:33,600 --> 01:52:37,560
He has a very difficult face to draw Folleroon Shaw.

2092
01:52:37,560 --> 01:52:42,200
He has been fantastic and he's been hustling for a while now.

2093
01:52:42,200 --> 01:52:47,040
It had come to a point this season where watching him I was like this guy is still hustling

2094
01:52:47,040 --> 01:52:48,040
trying to.

2095
01:52:48,040 --> 01:52:50,600
It feels like they're trying to make it when they're at that level.

2096
01:52:50,600 --> 01:52:54,800
You know when you're at like a hell of a run and you're on loan from Napoli and you've

2097
01:52:54,800 --> 01:53:00,120
been out on loan for like nine seasons you know season after season you're out on loan.

2098
01:53:00,120 --> 01:53:03,000
I would say he's finally making it Folleroon Shaw.

2099
01:53:03,000 --> 01:53:05,800
He's really really really stepped the top.

2100
01:53:05,800 --> 01:53:09,080
He's got two options after this right.

2101
01:53:09,080 --> 01:53:13,560
He'd be utilised at Napoli to a degree coming off the bench so on so forth but he could

2102
01:53:13,560 --> 01:53:17,360
take a small step up go to a team like Torino.

2103
01:53:17,360 --> 01:53:20,800
I could imagine at Bologna as well if they make a few sales for example he could go to

2104
01:53:20,800 --> 01:53:21,800
Bologna.

2105
01:53:21,800 --> 01:53:27,640
Torino, Bologna, Monza these are teams that he can join and then potentially even start

2106
01:53:27,640 --> 01:53:31,120
and be very effective.

2107
01:53:31,120 --> 01:53:34,960
He's a good player Folleroon Shaw and you know trained at Napoli as well.

2108
01:53:34,960 --> 01:53:37,120
To Mike they call him.

2109
01:53:37,120 --> 01:53:39,720
That's exactly what they call him.

2110
01:53:39,720 --> 01:53:41,160
There were some goal keeping heroics.

2111
01:53:41,160 --> 01:53:45,760
Montepo, who I highly rate as you all know, played a pivotal role in this win.

2112
01:53:45,760 --> 01:53:52,760
He made crucial saves in this game particularly that fingertip save to the Nij-Kristovic setter

2113
01:53:52,760 --> 01:53:55,680
at the end of the first half.

2114
01:53:55,680 --> 01:53:59,000
But this wasn't such an exciting game.

2115
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:03,680
It seemed to die down towards the second half.

2116
01:54:03,680 --> 01:54:12,200
I thought that perhaps I wouldn't have been incredibly disappointed if it had been a draw

2117
01:54:12,200 --> 01:54:18,480
because I don't think that Verona did so much more than let Che to get themselves a victory

2118
01:54:18,480 --> 01:54:23,920
but when you have a player like Michael Folleroon Shaw who can change the tide of the game and

2119
01:54:23,920 --> 01:54:28,400
there's a game changer then absolutely power to Verona and they managed to get a victory

2120
01:54:28,400 --> 01:54:32,560
over there which marks their second victory in a row and in their last six they've only

2121
01:54:32,560 --> 01:54:33,760
lost two.

2122
01:54:33,760 --> 01:54:35,800
They won two and they drew two as well.

2123
01:54:35,800 --> 01:54:41,120
They currently find themselves in fourteenth on twenty six points whilst let Che find themselves

2124
01:54:41,120 --> 01:54:43,840
in sixteenth on twenty five points.

2125
01:54:43,840 --> 01:54:48,960
Good to note that Verona in their last two relegation six pointers they won both of them.

2126
01:54:48,960 --> 01:54:52,200
Last one over Saswalo and this one over let Che.

2127
01:54:52,200 --> 01:54:53,200
Absolutely.

2128
01:54:53,200 --> 01:54:54,200
Is this the last game?

2129
01:54:54,200 --> 01:54:55,200
No you have one more.

2130
01:54:55,200 --> 01:54:56,200
I have one more.

2131
01:54:56,200 --> 01:55:01,840
So there is Saswalo one, Frostenone, Nyl another relegation six pointer.

2132
01:55:01,840 --> 01:55:08,080
The previous encounter was actually a four two victory for Frostenone over Saswalo so

2133
01:55:08,080 --> 01:55:13,000
they could have done the double over here coming in best.

2134
01:55:13,000 --> 01:55:16,760
Concili was in goal for Saswalo unfortunately for them in their four two three one formation.

2135
01:55:16,760 --> 01:55:21,120
Pedersen was out on the right with Dujg out on the left with Erlich and Ferrari as a centre

2136
01:55:21,120 --> 01:55:22,120
back duo.

2137
01:55:22,120 --> 01:55:27,480
Raczic and Thordzwet formed the double pivot with Lauriente and Bayrami playing on the

2138
01:55:27,480 --> 01:55:32,080
flanks with Pinamonti up front and Greg Ward the frel playing behind him.

2139
01:55:32,080 --> 01:55:38,320
There you go it's Bayrami instead of Berardi we were wondering how would he go about it.

2140
01:55:38,320 --> 01:55:39,880
Ballardini would handle this.

2141
01:55:39,880 --> 01:55:40,880
Ballardini ball.

2142
01:55:40,880 --> 01:55:41,880
Yeah.

2143
01:55:41,880 --> 01:55:43,880
Ballardini balls.

2144
01:55:43,880 --> 01:55:45,640
That's a good episode title.

2145
01:55:45,640 --> 01:55:50,880
Stefan Ohterati was in goal for Verona in their four three three formation with Valerian

2146
01:55:50,880 --> 01:55:53,320
Zorte as the full backs.

2147
01:55:53,320 --> 01:55:59,120
Ramaniole and Ocoli as the centre backs with Bresciani, Niberince and Mazzatelli in midfield.

2148
01:55:59,120 --> 01:56:05,640
Gediamis on the left, Suley on the right and Kedira up front.

2149
01:56:05,640 --> 01:56:10,120
So Saswalo played a waiting game and they created very little at the start of the game.

2150
01:56:10,120 --> 01:56:14,040
Frostenone on the other hand were wasteful and it was quite a KGF fair.

2151
01:56:14,040 --> 01:56:19,080
Thordzwet broke the deadlock in the 58th minute after giving away a penalty that was overturned

2152
01:56:19,080 --> 01:56:20,080
by Var.

2153
01:56:20,080 --> 01:56:26,400
Literally 57th minute he gives away the penalty, it's overturned by Var, 58th minute he scores.

2154
01:56:26,400 --> 01:56:33,680
It took till the 90th minute for the next big piece of action to happen and this was

2155
01:56:33,680 --> 01:56:40,960
when a penalty was awarded to Frostenone and Kyo George stepped up to take it and he missed.

2156
01:56:40,960 --> 01:56:42,280
He missed the target.

2157
01:56:42,280 --> 01:56:45,120
He missed the bloody target.

2158
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:47,480
So yes Frostenone will be regretting that.

2159
01:56:47,480 --> 01:56:52,360
The Francesco was bitter after the game and in the interview he said, it feels like I'm

2160
01:56:52,360 --> 01:56:55,680
giving the same interviews over and over again.

2161
01:56:55,680 --> 01:56:56,680
This is literally a quote.

2162
01:56:56,680 --> 01:57:01,360
The team created chances and at the first shot we conceded a goal.

2163
01:57:01,360 --> 01:57:04,840
After a potential penalty we conceded a goal with the first ball.

2164
01:57:04,840 --> 01:57:07,240
We had an excellent initial half hour.

2165
01:57:07,240 --> 01:57:09,160
We should have capitalised more.

2166
01:57:09,160 --> 01:57:14,000
In the end the penalty would have rewarded our effort and what we deserved but instead

2167
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:18,520
we're here biting our hands.

2168
01:57:18,520 --> 01:57:22,000
Saswalo played a waiting game and created very little but they scored.

2169
01:57:22,000 --> 01:57:24,560
We should have been better at converting and credit to them.

2170
01:57:24,560 --> 01:57:27,200
The result is what matters.

2171
01:57:27,200 --> 01:57:30,480
On the other hand Balardini humble and cool after victory.

2172
01:57:30,480 --> 01:57:32,440
So there was a scrappy game at the beginning.

2173
01:57:32,440 --> 01:57:35,760
We were tense and then we relieved some pressure on our minds and legs.

2174
01:57:35,760 --> 01:57:39,840
It wasn't a beautiful game but we got what we missed against Verona.

2175
01:57:39,840 --> 01:57:45,920
We have the means to overcome difficulties and with a clear mind you need to know what

2176
01:57:45,920 --> 01:57:48,760
to do along with dealing with the weight of the moment.

2177
01:57:48,760 --> 01:57:49,760
We're getting used to it.

2178
01:57:49,760 --> 01:57:53,920
The team wanted to take more responsibility especially without Barardi who is our best

2179
01:57:53,920 --> 01:57:54,920
player.

2180
01:57:54,920 --> 01:57:55,920
We're thinking about Sunday.

2181
01:57:55,920 --> 01:58:00,240
It's a shame we do not have Thord's Wettendoi but we still have a group of boys who will

2182
01:58:00,240 --> 01:58:02,800
give the role and will compensate for this too.

2183
01:58:02,800 --> 01:58:05,560
Of course it's easy to be humble in victory.

2184
01:58:05,560 --> 01:58:09,680
Being humble in defeat is way more difficult than with the French crossings.

2185
01:58:09,680 --> 01:58:13,600
We deserve the point.

2186
01:58:13,600 --> 01:58:15,480
An interesting thought.

2187
01:58:15,480 --> 01:58:19,840
Okay, Kyle George was devastated after missing the penalty.

2188
01:58:19,840 --> 01:58:26,280
Would you if you are a side who is okay you're the coach of a side and your side is relegation

2189
01:58:26,280 --> 01:58:27,280
threatened.

2190
01:58:27,280 --> 01:58:29,600
You're frozen on as coach.

2191
01:58:29,600 --> 01:58:32,480
You've got a penalty in the 91st minute.

2192
01:58:32,480 --> 01:58:37,360
What do you think about a lony taking the penalty?

2193
01:58:37,360 --> 01:58:38,360
Does it make a difference?

2194
01:58:38,360 --> 01:58:41,480
I think the why would it make a difference?

2195
01:58:41,480 --> 01:58:45,160
I think the person that can hit them best and the person that has been hitting them

2196
01:58:45,160 --> 01:58:46,160
best should take it.

2197
01:58:46,160 --> 01:58:47,320
Why shouldn't a lony take it?

2198
01:58:47,320 --> 01:58:48,640
I tend to agree with you.

2199
01:58:48,640 --> 01:58:52,720
This was a conversation I saw online.

2200
01:58:52,720 --> 01:58:57,440
The whole logic behind it was that maybe a player who's on loan doesn't really understand

2201
01:58:57,440 --> 01:58:59,320
the weight of the penalty.

2202
01:58:59,320 --> 01:59:04,160
Maybe for him it's more of a personal accolade for him to score rather than keeping the

2203
01:59:04,160 --> 01:59:05,160
thing.

2204
01:59:05,160 --> 01:59:08,320
It's almost better that he doesn't feel that pressure knowing stepping up to take it.

2205
01:59:08,320 --> 01:59:10,320
That's a good counterpoint actually as well.

2206
01:59:10,320 --> 01:59:12,120
Yes, I mean he's a striker right?

2207
01:59:12,120 --> 01:59:15,600
Even when he was going to take a penalty it should be him.

2208
01:59:15,600 --> 01:59:20,960
But the fact that he failed to hit the target was just devastating.

2209
01:59:20,960 --> 01:59:24,280
Biting your hand definitely.

2210
01:59:24,280 --> 01:59:27,200
I mean when was the last time Saas Oolo got a clean sheet bro.

2211
01:59:27,200 --> 01:59:28,200
I can't remember.

2212
01:59:28,200 --> 01:59:34,720
He took the ballardini to come in and Frosinon aren't a team that they're easy to shut out.

2213
01:59:34,720 --> 01:59:37,840
They're definitely difficult to keep out because they're not offensive.

2214
01:59:37,840 --> 01:59:38,840
They have devastated teams Frosinon.

2215
01:59:38,840 --> 01:59:40,400
They're with their attacking play.

2216
01:59:40,400 --> 01:59:43,520
And they have devastated Saas Oolo earlier this season.

2217
01:59:43,520 --> 01:59:44,520
Four-two.

2218
01:59:44,520 --> 01:59:49,480
So yeah, this was a pretty good performance by Saas Oolo.

2219
01:59:49,480 --> 01:59:50,480
Pretty street smart.

2220
01:59:50,480 --> 02:00:02,480
I do tend to agree with DeFrancisco that a draw would have or could have been fair.

2221
02:00:02,480 --> 02:00:05,520
But of course Saas Oolo did what they had to do.

2222
02:00:05,520 --> 02:00:11,200
And that Ratchage guy who despite not hitting the ground running since joining has had a

2223
02:00:11,200 --> 02:00:14,880
goal and an assist in his past two games.

2224
02:00:14,880 --> 02:00:16,800
So that's nice for him as well.

2225
02:00:16,800 --> 02:00:20,560
Three points is exactly what Saas Oolo needed over here.

2226
02:00:20,560 --> 02:00:23,520
Exactly after so many losses in a row.

2227
02:00:23,520 --> 02:00:26,360
Now they are 19th with 23 points.

2228
02:00:26,360 --> 02:00:29,480
Just two points off of Empoli in 17th.

2229
02:00:29,480 --> 02:00:33,600
While on the other hand Frosinon are above Saas Oolo.

2230
02:00:33,600 --> 02:00:35,480
Look how important this victory was bro.

2231
02:00:35,480 --> 02:00:37,960
With 24 points, just one point above Saas Oolo.

2232
02:00:37,960 --> 02:00:38,960
This was massive.

2233
02:00:38,960 --> 02:00:40,800
This was a six-pointer by definition.

2234
02:00:40,800 --> 02:00:42,040
Huge man, huge.

2235
02:00:42,040 --> 02:00:46,760
We should at some point bite the bullet and who we believe is going to get really good.

2236
02:00:46,760 --> 02:00:50,320
Religated this season to our listeners.

2237
02:00:50,320 --> 02:00:51,320
What do you mean?

2238
02:00:51,320 --> 02:00:53,880
Like who we think is going to get really good.

2239
02:00:53,880 --> 02:00:55,280
Who are your bottom three?

2240
02:00:55,280 --> 02:00:58,920
I have said but I am changing my mind every week.

2241
02:00:58,920 --> 02:00:59,920
Yeah that's the thing.

2242
02:00:59,920 --> 02:01:03,360
The thing is I had Helas Verona to go down originally.

2243
02:01:03,360 --> 02:01:06,720
But now you look at them their goal difference has really improved and that's a good indicator.

2244
02:01:06,720 --> 02:01:07,720
Yeah true.

2245
02:01:07,720 --> 02:01:11,920
The goal difference is a good indicator for telling who's going to go down.

2246
02:01:11,920 --> 02:01:15,560
So I think Helas Verona will do just enough to be fine.

2247
02:01:15,560 --> 02:01:19,760
I am not even going to make a prediction because you're scared.

2248
02:01:19,760 --> 02:01:20,760
Because I'm scared.

2249
02:01:20,760 --> 02:01:21,760
Got you.

2250
02:01:21,760 --> 02:01:22,760
Got you.

2251
02:01:22,760 --> 02:01:23,760
Are you ready to make a prediction right now?

2252
02:01:23,760 --> 02:01:24,760
Shall we?

2253
02:01:24,760 --> 02:01:25,760
Yes.

2254
02:01:25,760 --> 02:01:26,760
Do it.

2255
02:01:26,760 --> 02:01:29,280
Who's going down bro?

2256
02:01:29,280 --> 02:01:43,000
Salernetana, Frosinone and it's between Lecce and Calieri now.

2257
02:01:43,000 --> 02:01:44,560
I'm going to say Lecce.

2258
02:01:44,560 --> 02:01:49,440
You know if that happens I think that's the prediction I did at the beginning of the season.

2259
02:01:49,440 --> 02:01:50,440
Really?

2260
02:01:50,440 --> 02:01:51,440
I think those are the three teams.

2261
02:01:51,440 --> 02:01:53,760
I said Salernetana, Frosinone and Lecce.

2262
02:01:53,760 --> 02:01:57,120
I think so but I had Salernetana on 18th.

2263
02:01:57,120 --> 02:01:58,120
So that doesn't matter.

2264
02:01:58,120 --> 02:01:59,120
It doesn't matter.

2265
02:01:59,120 --> 02:02:00,120
We'll see.

2266
02:02:00,120 --> 02:02:01,400
By the way we should revisit that towards the end of the season.

2267
02:02:01,400 --> 02:02:02,400
See what we had said.

2268
02:02:02,400 --> 02:02:03,400
We shouldn't.

2269
02:02:03,400 --> 02:02:04,400
We shouldn't.

2270
02:02:04,400 --> 02:02:08,760
I had you put in the lead.

2271
02:02:08,760 --> 02:02:13,760
Final game we're going to be covering is the race to 10th if you all care about that.

2272
02:02:13,760 --> 02:02:16,000
It's Genoa 2-Monza 3.

2273
02:02:16,000 --> 02:02:18,600
Genoa coming off a 2-1 loss to Inter.

2274
02:02:18,600 --> 02:02:21,960
That was a controversial penalty just to remind you.

2275
02:02:21,960 --> 02:02:29,280
Monza coming off a 4-1 home loss to Roma.

2276
02:02:29,280 --> 02:02:32,080
The previous encounter was a 1-0 victory to Monza.

2277
02:02:32,080 --> 02:02:35,920
So Monza doing the double over Genoa.

2278
02:02:35,920 --> 02:02:41,840
Vasquez sat out a ban with injured Haps, Anchei and Matturo.

2279
02:02:41,840 --> 02:02:48,240
While Gianluca Caprari and Vignato did not make the trip but it saw return from suspension.

2280
02:02:48,240 --> 02:02:53,920
This match saw a goal of the year contender through a Cizercic volley by Danny Muota which

2281
02:02:53,920 --> 02:02:59,640
was our goal of the week and the biggest thing that happened in this match.

2282
02:02:59,640 --> 02:03:03,520
3-5-2 formation for Genoa with Martinez in gold.

2283
02:03:03,520 --> 02:03:09,040
Very impressive Martinez with a backline of De Winter, Bani and Voliacco.

2284
02:03:09,040 --> 02:03:15,720
Cia Zabelli on the left, Messias on the right and Stuttman, Badel and Frendrup.

2285
02:03:15,720 --> 02:03:18,800
You guessed it with Aguian Goodman up front.

2286
02:03:18,800 --> 02:03:23,320
4-2-3-1 formation with 4-Monza with Di Gregorio in gold.

2287
02:03:23,320 --> 02:03:28,960
Birindelli, Itzo, Mari and Carboni at the back with Bondo and Acpa Acpro in the double

2288
02:03:28,960 --> 02:03:29,960
pivot.

2289
02:03:29,960 --> 02:03:34,360
Colpani, Pesina and Muota playing behind Jurich.

2290
02:03:34,360 --> 02:03:39,480
We're seeing Pesina in a more offensive role over here, stop playing with us, remember

2291
02:03:39,480 --> 02:03:43,160
we're going to make me laugh.

2292
02:03:43,160 --> 02:03:45,920
This nursing him back to hell bro.

2293
02:03:45,920 --> 02:03:50,080
In the 7th minute, Monsa opened the scoring through Pesina.

2294
02:03:50,080 --> 02:03:55,320
At the far post Colpani guided a square headed to Pesina who nodded into the empty net.

2295
02:03:55,320 --> 02:04:03,440
In the 18th minute they made it through Danny Muota who scored a phenomenal goal.

2296
02:04:03,440 --> 02:04:12,000
It was a scissor kick volley.

2297
02:04:12,000 --> 02:04:16,640
Colpani's cross found a totally unmarked Danny Muota just inside the area who won Lystaf

2298
02:04:16,640 --> 02:04:21,040
a phenomenal scissor kick volley leaving Martinez helpless.

2299
02:04:21,040 --> 02:04:30,280
An absolutely sensational goal.

2300
02:04:30,280 --> 02:04:36,160
In the 26th minute Colpani channeled his inner Ronaldinho as he skipped past three players

2301
02:04:36,160 --> 02:04:40,640
with immense technique before unleashing a curling theory Algira which struck the cross

2302
02:04:40,640 --> 02:04:43,800
bar slight touch from the keeper.

2303
02:04:43,800 --> 02:04:48,840
So at the end of the day that could also go down as a remarkable save.

2304
02:04:48,840 --> 02:04:53,400
In the 52nd minute Goodminton got one back for Genoa.

2305
02:04:53,400 --> 02:05:00,160
His initial penalty was saved by Di Gregorio but he managed to knock in the rebound.

2306
02:05:00,160 --> 02:05:03,480
So he's on the 6th.

2307
02:05:03,480 --> 02:05:07,360
The penalty was awarded after VAR spotted a handball by Mari.

2308
02:05:07,360 --> 02:05:15,400
His arm seemed close to his body but he used it to help guide the ball back to the keeper.

2309
02:05:15,400 --> 02:05:21,680
In the 67th minute Vittinia scored to make it 2-2.

2310
02:05:21,680 --> 02:05:27,120
Retegui dispossessed Acpa Acpro deep into Monsa's half as Vittinia collected the ball,

2311
02:05:27,120 --> 02:05:31,640
charged forward, created space for himself and curled the ball past Di Gregorio.

2312
02:05:31,640 --> 02:05:33,920
Exceptionally well for his first goal.

2313
02:05:33,920 --> 02:05:50,280
In the 70th minute Genoa threatened as Di Gregorio parried a long range Malinovsky strike

2314
02:05:50,280 --> 02:05:55,520
which was destined to be rebounded in by Badel but Mota got a crucial touch.

2315
02:05:55,520 --> 02:06:00,480
In the 79th minute winner for Monsa through Daniele Maldini.

2316
02:06:00,480 --> 02:06:05,400
It was a great passage of play by Monsa which ended with Valentin Carbone's shot being saved

2317
02:06:05,400 --> 02:06:11,520
by Martinez and Maldini bagging in the rebound.

2318
02:06:11,520 --> 02:06:14,360
So this was a mid-table battle.

2319
02:06:14,360 --> 02:06:20,480
I wouldn't over here it says it was a crucial encounter in the mid-table battle.

2320
02:06:20,480 --> 02:06:25,560
But it's interesting when you see games like this because it finally allows teams like

2321
02:06:25,560 --> 02:06:27,840
this to be super competitive.

2322
02:06:27,840 --> 02:06:30,640
Of course they're going to be competitive, of course they're going to want to beat the

2323
02:06:30,640 --> 02:06:34,080
Leches, they're going to want to beat the Milan's, they're going to want to beat everyone.

2324
02:06:34,080 --> 02:06:36,240
But it's like against like.

2325
02:06:36,240 --> 02:06:37,240
Exactly.

2326
02:06:37,240 --> 02:06:39,120
How often do you see these teams go up?

2327
02:06:39,120 --> 02:06:43,840
Because Serie A is very much the season, the relegation battle goes all the way up to

2328
02:06:43,840 --> 02:06:45,680
13th.

2329
02:06:45,680 --> 02:06:49,760
From 13th to 20th it's the relegation battle so far.

2330
02:06:49,760 --> 02:06:55,920
The race for Europe is from, let's say from first obviously, I mean just because of that,

2331
02:06:55,920 --> 02:06:56,920
down to ninth.

2332
02:06:56,920 --> 02:06:59,800
They're battling for Europe.

2333
02:06:59,800 --> 02:07:04,520
Those three in the middle, Torino, Monsa, Genoa.

2334
02:07:04,520 --> 02:07:11,760
Up till 11th the race for Europe in reality because if lots you are in it, Monsa are only

2335
02:07:11,760 --> 02:07:15,080
one point behind and then Torino are one point behind them.

2336
02:07:15,080 --> 02:07:19,880
So there's really no real mid table in the season's edition of Serie A.

2337
02:07:19,880 --> 02:07:20,880
It's crazy man.

2338
02:07:20,880 --> 02:07:24,840
It's as Genoa are the one mid table team banging the middle who seem to be safe from relegation

2339
02:07:24,840 --> 02:07:26,920
but can't really make that European push.

2340
02:07:26,920 --> 02:07:30,280
So they're just perfectly mid table while everyone else is technically still within

2341
02:07:30,280 --> 02:07:33,000
the running.

2342
02:07:33,000 --> 02:07:40,960
This game had some spectacular goals, remarkable goals, not only obviously Dani Muatas but Pesina

2343
02:07:40,960 --> 02:07:44,560
had a good goal over there, Vittigna had a very good goal and actually want to talk

2344
02:07:44,560 --> 02:07:47,160
about Vittigna a bit.

2345
02:07:47,160 --> 02:07:53,360
So the centre forward turns 24 in March and made a move from Braga to Marseille only a

2346
02:07:53,360 --> 02:08:00,640
year ago for 32 million euros which is a club record signing for Marseille.

2347
02:08:00,640 --> 02:08:05,720
After a disappointing spell consisting of many a missed chance and just six goals in

2348
02:08:05,720 --> 02:08:12,920
43 games, he is now on loan at Genoa with an option to buy for 25 million.

2349
02:08:12,920 --> 02:08:17,120
Skysport which would also be I think a probably a record signing for Genoa.

2350
02:08:17,120 --> 02:08:20,960
I highly doubt they've ever spent more than that especially knowing their past.

2351
02:08:20,960 --> 02:08:28,280
Skysport literally Skysport Italia claim that part of the negotiations for Vittigna

2352
02:08:28,280 --> 02:08:33,200
also include completing the Malinovsky sale for 7 million.

2353
02:08:33,200 --> 02:08:37,120
So what they're doing over here is to make back their 32 million because they bought

2354
02:08:37,120 --> 02:08:42,040
a guy for 32 million, busted the bank and he was shite for them.

2355
02:08:42,040 --> 02:08:44,120
It's like let's make a double deal.

2356
02:08:44,120 --> 02:08:50,720
We sell, we get our 32 million back by selling you Malinovsky and by selling you Vittigna.

2357
02:08:50,720 --> 02:08:52,200
Not a bad idea.

2358
02:08:52,200 --> 02:08:59,560
Now it's an option to buy but apparently there might be some hidden clauses that if

2359
02:08:59,560 --> 02:09:03,640
he reaches certain milestones for the team then it's triggered automatically.

2360
02:09:03,640 --> 02:09:06,240
So if he scores for example.

2361
02:09:06,240 --> 02:09:08,240
Three goals for the team.

2362
02:09:08,240 --> 02:09:13,320
Then it gets triggered automatically because he's been vital for the team or maybe something

2363
02:09:13,320 --> 02:09:16,240
different because if he scores 10 they might want them back.

2364
02:09:16,240 --> 02:09:20,160
It's usually appearance based as well.

2365
02:09:20,160 --> 02:09:26,920
This was an exciting affair definitely between two sides who were definitely up for it.

2366
02:09:26,920 --> 02:09:30,360
One question I have for you bro you asked me to be serious so I'm going to be serious

2367
02:09:30,360 --> 02:09:35,840
and ask you do you know what Acpa, Acpro and Bondos first names are?

2368
02:09:35,840 --> 02:09:39,160
Acpa, Acpro is Acpa.

2369
02:09:39,160 --> 02:09:41,440
No I don't know.

2370
02:09:41,440 --> 02:09:44,600
So Acpa, Acpro's first name is Jean Daniel.

2371
02:09:44,600 --> 02:09:49,760
Jean Daniel, Acpa, Acpro and Bondos first name is Warren.

2372
02:09:49,760 --> 02:09:55,200
Would have never guessed right.

2373
02:09:55,200 --> 02:09:58,600
Talk about names of no match.

2374
02:09:58,600 --> 02:10:03,280
Jean Daniel is the most sexy vanilla name I've ever heard of my life.

2375
02:10:03,280 --> 02:10:04,280
Jean Daniel.

2376
02:10:04,280 --> 02:10:06,720
Doing the attendance in class here.

2377
02:10:06,720 --> 02:10:11,640
Mike, John, Peter, Jean Daniel.

2378
02:10:11,640 --> 02:10:14,680
Well a lot of John's in Malt.

2379
02:10:14,680 --> 02:10:20,320
Jean Paul, Jean Pierre, Jean Carl, Jean Mark, Jean Luca.

2380
02:10:20,320 --> 02:10:24,160
That's like Jean Luca.

2381
02:10:24,160 --> 02:10:25,160
Crazy names.

2382
02:10:25,160 --> 02:10:26,160
Crazy names.

2383
02:10:26,160 --> 02:10:27,160
Madden and Ambrose back to.

2384
02:10:27,160 --> 02:10:28,160
Aha.

2385
02:10:28,160 --> 02:10:29,880
No I mean that's pretty much it.

2386
02:10:29,880 --> 02:10:35,280
It's good to see Pessina is proving to be quite an all-rounder in that midfield right

2387
02:10:35,280 --> 02:10:40,080
I tend to prefer him in a more like double pivot midfield.

2388
02:10:40,080 --> 02:10:44,880
I don't think he's too refined in front of goal to be operating so close to goal but

2389
02:10:44,880 --> 02:10:49,160
he's also quite explosive so seeing him behind the striker which is where we saw him play

2390
02:10:49,160 --> 02:10:52,600
for Italy when he came on in the Euros and scored for example.

2391
02:10:52,600 --> 02:10:56,920
It's also good to see him over there and that's the great thing about having such well-rounded

2392
02:10:56,920 --> 02:10:58,920
players right.

2393
02:10:58,920 --> 02:11:01,800
Maldini coming on and getting a goal is cool.

2394
02:11:01,800 --> 02:11:04,880
Did you see what Maldini and Colombo said about Zlatan?

2395
02:11:04,880 --> 02:11:05,880
No it's Zlatan.

2396
02:11:05,880 --> 02:11:14,000
For those of you that don't know Zlatan went up to Maldini and Colombo I believe at half

2397
02:11:14,000 --> 02:11:15,000
time.

2398
02:11:15,000 --> 02:11:16,120
I think before the game.

2399
02:11:16,120 --> 02:11:17,120
Or before the game.

2400
02:11:17,120 --> 02:11:19,520
Before the game of Monsa against Milan.

2401
02:11:19,520 --> 02:11:24,400
I told them look at you guys we sent you out on loan so you play and you're both on the

2402
02:11:24,400 --> 02:11:25,400
bench.

2403
02:11:25,400 --> 02:11:29,840
Fucking ridiculous and then he just walks off.

2404
02:11:29,840 --> 02:11:35,800
Maldini assists and Colombo scores right and Milan lose four to fire them up.

2405
02:11:35,800 --> 02:11:41,560
And Maldini was speaking about it and it just sucks hearing Maldini speak about the club

2406
02:11:41,560 --> 02:11:42,840
like I'm sure he doesn't mean harm.

2407
02:11:42,840 --> 02:11:46,800
I'm sure he's just saying what happened.

2408
02:11:46,800 --> 02:11:51,120
But it's kind of shit talk at the same time and it's just a bit painful.

2409
02:11:51,120 --> 02:11:52,920
It's a bit of a banter.

2410
02:11:52,920 --> 02:11:55,800
Nothing from Maldini but what can you do?

2411
02:11:55,800 --> 02:11:59,160
George seems to be settling a bit.

2412
02:11:59,160 --> 02:12:02,560
Settling a little bit he hasn't yet scored I believe.

2413
02:12:02,560 --> 02:12:11,080
But they're utilizing him perhaps in the same way that Odinez are utilizing Lucca.

2414
02:12:11,080 --> 02:12:15,880
He plays often with his back towards goal and thankfully behind him it's not like there's

2415
02:12:15,880 --> 02:12:18,080
no talent there's called Pani Pessina Mota.

2416
02:12:18,080 --> 02:12:21,000
Lucca can do a lot more with the ball than George can.

2417
02:12:21,000 --> 02:12:24,120
Yes absolutely.

2418
02:12:24,120 --> 02:12:29,120
George is there you know that fucking net that you tossed the ball to and it bounces back.

2419
02:12:29,120 --> 02:12:30,120
That's how he plays.

2420
02:12:30,120 --> 02:12:31,120
That's George.

2421
02:12:31,120 --> 02:12:32,120
A brick wall.

2422
02:12:32,120 --> 02:12:34,040
Yeah it's not about finding George.

2423
02:12:34,040 --> 02:12:36,960
It's about George finding called Pani Pessina Mota.

2424
02:12:36,960 --> 02:12:43,120
But in area situations George is still one of the most threatening in the league.

2425
02:12:43,120 --> 02:12:44,680
Yeah absolutely.

2426
02:12:44,680 --> 02:12:45,680
In the air.

2427
02:12:45,680 --> 02:12:46,680
Absolutely.

2428
02:12:46,680 --> 02:12:51,520
He's a striker that no defender would want to go against to be honest with you.

2429
02:12:51,520 --> 02:12:53,400
Bro you're done with this?

2430
02:12:53,400 --> 02:12:54,400
Yes.

2431
02:12:54,400 --> 02:12:57,800
I've prepared some individual accolades for the week.

2432
02:12:57,800 --> 02:13:02,560
For example top distance covered we've got two Bologna men who've covered the most distance

2433
02:13:02,560 --> 02:13:03,560
this matchday.

2434
02:13:03,560 --> 02:13:05,280
They came in the match against Inter.

2435
02:13:05,280 --> 02:13:10,160
Bologna actually covered like three kilometers more than Inter did.

2436
02:13:10,160 --> 02:13:12,280
So they're Froyler and Ferguson.

2437
02:13:12,280 --> 02:13:21,600
The top sprinter who clocked 35.46 kilometers per hour was Pontus Almvist.

2438
02:13:21,600 --> 02:13:24,480
I'm shortly followed by Shamoradov.

2439
02:13:24,480 --> 02:13:25,480
Interesting.

2440
02:13:25,480 --> 02:13:29,920
Top assist we've got Colpani and McKenny who have two weeks.

2441
02:13:29,920 --> 02:13:31,280
That's not an interesting one.

2442
02:13:31,280 --> 02:13:32,840
Let's move to another interesting one here.

2443
02:13:32,840 --> 02:13:38,000
Top passes complete we've got Evan and Dica who was ever present in that game against

2444
02:13:38,000 --> 02:13:42,960
Fiorentina he had 89 passes completed shortly followed by Benacer with 88.

2445
02:13:42,960 --> 02:13:48,560
Top key passes there is top two are Benacer and Raspadori tied with five.

2446
02:13:48,560 --> 02:13:54,600
Top balls played forward is also Ismail Benacer fantastic game followed by Froyler.

2447
02:13:54,600 --> 02:13:59,280
Top touches in the penalty area Christovic and Ozzyman had the most with 14.

2448
02:13:59,280 --> 02:14:03,120
Top dribbling Zakhani with six he was very inspired in that game.

2449
02:14:03,120 --> 02:14:05,560
And these are just fun to read to be honest with you.

2450
02:14:05,560 --> 02:14:10,360
I encourage you guys after I imagine just to educate yourselves a bit on how players

2451
02:14:10,360 --> 02:14:14,920
are playing and who was effective and who wasn't head over to the Serial website.

2452
02:14:14,920 --> 02:14:15,920
Documenti.

2453
02:14:15,920 --> 02:14:18,560
Exactly down at the bottom and you can see all these statistics as well.

2454
02:14:18,560 --> 02:14:22,280
Gvićak Varatskeli for example had the most attempts this match day with eight.

2455
02:14:22,280 --> 02:14:23,840
Who had the most saves?

2456
02:14:23,840 --> 02:14:26,720
The most saves Vanya Milinkovic with seven.

2457
02:14:26,720 --> 02:14:28,640
Top recoveries Danilo with 12.

2458
02:14:28,640 --> 02:14:30,240
12 recoveries is crazy.

2459
02:14:30,240 --> 02:14:32,040
And then second Bremer with 10.

2460
02:14:32,040 --> 02:14:37,200
This is you as a defense man against Atalanta were you missing?

2461
02:14:37,200 --> 02:14:41,560
Top attempts on target Shamoradov and Guevara Shamoradov man leave it to Salernetana to

2462
02:14:41,560 --> 02:14:45,360
make the ball and one percent of everything.

2463
02:14:45,360 --> 02:14:49,840
But yeah and then top scoring chance is apparently Benacer and McKenny and Raspadori all tied

2464
02:14:49,840 --> 02:14:50,840
with five.

2465
02:14:50,840 --> 02:14:56,960
But anyway that's it for this episode I believe thank you for making it this far if you've

2466
02:14:56,960 --> 02:15:02,320

2467
02:15:02,320 --> 02:15:07,640
same time ensuring the content is good while we don't neglect the fact that we're on camera.

2473
02:15:28,760 --> 02:15:32,760
This is Serie A Spotlight.

2474
02:15:32,760 --> 02:15:36,960
If you like Serie A or have ever liked it in the past it's a good opportunity for you

2475
02:15:36,960 --> 02:15:39,440
to listen once a week and you'll get filled in.

2476
02:15:39,440 --> 02:15:44,120
In the football weekend that's like the main dish but then a few days later you drop your

2477
02:15:44,120 --> 02:15:48,480
episode and that's like the dessert and the dessert is just perfect.

2478
02:15:48,480 --> 02:15:49,480
Is good the cake?

2479
02:15:49,480 --> 02:15:54,720
It makes it feel like we're all sitting in a room together just be assing with each other.

2480
02:15:54,720 --> 02:15:56,880
The atmosphere is fantastic.

2481
02:15:56,880 --> 02:16:00,840
I promise nobody will ask you to send boob pics.

2482
02:16:00,840 --> 02:16:03,560
And sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe shit.

2483
02:16:03,560 --> 02:16:09,680
I love how you go into so much detail and show so much passion towards each and every

2484
02:16:09,680 --> 02:16:15,080
team literally no team is left undiscussed.

2485
02:16:15,080 --> 02:16:18,640
When I listen to you it's like I'm talking to you in a pub.

2486
02:16:18,640 --> 02:16:21,320
It's like I'm chatting to a friend and you're chatting to me.
