00:00:00.000 --> 00:00:02.640
Welcome back to, say, a spotlight where you host

00:00:02.640 --> 00:00:06.360
Jake and Matt. You know what time it is! Jake

00:00:06.360 --> 00:00:08.740
and I will have a very special soft spot for

00:00:08.740 --> 00:00:15.199
Saturday. We love you. This might be bad. Your

00:00:15.199 --> 00:00:17.519
group has really some characters in it, no? Or

00:00:17.519 --> 00:00:24.250
an acid. and welcome back to yet another episode

00:00:24.250 --> 00:00:27.809
of Serial Spotlight this is episode 214 and we're

00:00:27.809 --> 00:00:29.890
your host Jake and Matt here to run you through

00:00:29.890 --> 00:00:33.869
all the action in matchday 30 in Syria. Yes this

00:00:33.869 --> 00:00:37.909
week we saw some major shufflings in the league

00:00:37.909 --> 00:00:41.189
if that's a word. Milan and Napoli edge closer

00:00:41.189 --> 00:00:45.770
to Inter. Como made a statement victory to further

00:00:45.770 --> 00:00:48.729
solidify their position within the top four and

00:00:48.729 --> 00:00:51.450
Cremonaese finally get their new manager bounce

00:00:51.450 --> 00:00:53.950
that has put them out of the relegation zone

00:00:53.950 --> 00:00:58.179
for the time being at the expense of Lecce. but

00:00:58.179 --> 00:01:02.600
jump Paulo ball baby jump Paulo ball yes um very

00:01:02.600 --> 00:01:05.980
exciting stuff stay till the end um um of course

00:01:05.980 --> 00:01:08.840
for our patron segments guys we'll have the fantasy

00:01:08.840 --> 00:01:12.400
league update and the prediction series um i

00:01:12.400 --> 00:01:15.260
won this one so it's seven five exactly Matthew

00:01:15.260 --> 00:01:19.939
won this one four three so he has um it's a consolation

00:01:19.939 --> 00:01:22.680
victory we are seven five now is the title race

00:01:22.680 --> 00:01:24.920
still on that's up to you to decide exactly there's

00:01:24.920 --> 00:01:27.359
eight games to go brother eight eight weeks to

00:01:27.359 --> 00:01:30.379
go. But let's start things off with the goal

00:01:30.379 --> 00:01:32.719
of the week. I think you guys know where we're

00:01:32.719 --> 00:01:34.739
going with this. What do you think our goal of

00:01:34.739 --> 00:01:38.840
the week was, guys? There are two options, right?

00:01:39.000 --> 00:01:41.379
I mean, this week in theory, there was Malle's

00:01:41.379 --> 00:01:43.400
goal against Parma, which was a really nice,

00:01:43.500 --> 00:01:45.819
well -placed shot from a distance into the bottom

00:01:45.819 --> 00:01:49.120
corner that caught the keeper off guard. But

00:01:49.120 --> 00:01:52.540
the goal of the week, of course, has to be Pavlović's

00:01:52.540 --> 00:01:56.930
absolute rocket against Torino. even the technique

00:01:56.930 --> 00:01:59.989
on that on that shot Milan lost Theo Hernandez

00:01:59.989 --> 00:02:05.090
but Pavlovic has channeled his inner Theo Hernandez

00:02:05.090 --> 00:02:06.870
because you have someone that's carrying the

00:02:06.870 --> 00:02:12.349
ball forward similarly to Theo of course we haven't

00:02:12.349 --> 00:02:16.210
seen any coast to coast goals yet but he's capable

00:02:16.210 --> 00:02:18.639
of really taking the ball forward he's physical

00:02:18.639 --> 00:02:21.159
and he gets in the opponent's face anyhow he

00:02:21.159 --> 00:02:23.479
can have a crack from distance like this so it's

00:02:23.479 --> 00:02:29.020
tough to handle and tough to manage because you

00:02:29.020 --> 00:02:31.180
get a sensational goal like that then you get

00:02:31.180 --> 00:02:34.460
a penalty giveaway towards the end of the game

00:02:34.460 --> 00:02:38.090
he's a little bit hit and miss. People forget

00:02:38.090 --> 00:02:42.590
how young he is, I think 21 or 22 if you can

00:02:42.590 --> 00:02:44.930
double check that while I give a shout out to

00:02:44.930 --> 00:02:47.750
the best and most charitable platform in Malta,

00:02:47.930 --> 00:02:50.870
Benevo Bid. Guys check out our link in bio to

00:02:53.650 --> 00:02:56.449
match issued kits. If you check out their socials

00:02:56.449 --> 00:02:58.389

00:03:03.530 --> 00:03:06.090
that most of these proceeds go to charity and

00:03:06.090 --> 00:03:08.370
it is the vast majority of proceeds that go to

00:03:08.370 --> 00:03:10.310
charity so click the link in our bio to help

make a difference and upgrade your collection.

00:03:13.009 --> 00:03:16.669
Hell to the yes, Pavlovic is 24 years old why

00:03:16.669 --> 00:03:19.139
do you lie to me? I don't know but to be fair

00:03:19.139 --> 00:03:21.620
for a center back that's essentially 21 -22.

00:03:21.800 --> 00:03:24.479
He's young and he's only in his second year in

00:03:24.479 --> 00:03:27.000
Italy and he's adapting to life and I think that

00:03:27.000 --> 00:03:28.599
you've got something over there that needs to

00:03:28.599 --> 00:03:33.419
be nurtured and improved because the the baseline

00:03:33.419 --> 00:03:36.360
is a player who will always give you 100 % and

00:03:36.360 --> 00:03:38.659
a player who is capable of doing sensational

00:03:38.659 --> 00:03:41.819
things as well unorthodox things totally and

00:03:41.819 --> 00:03:45.419
a player with something to him right Someone

00:03:45.419 --> 00:03:49.120
with the like Kessy had his strength. Yeah Pavlovich

00:03:49.120 --> 00:03:51.800
has got this side to his game the x -factor exactly

00:03:51.800 --> 00:03:53.719
that that's quite rare I actually have a really

00:03:53.719 --> 00:03:56.240
good talking point about that when we cover Milan

00:03:56.240 --> 00:03:58.159
and before we get into everything of course guys

we're going to be calling an interfan at the

00:04:32.939 --> 00:04:35.689
end of this episode discussing what's happening

00:04:35.689 --> 00:04:37.870
right now that is three games in a row without

00:04:37.870 --> 00:04:41.269
a victory for the league leaders but without

00:04:41.269 --> 00:04:44.329
further ado i think inter are our first game

00:04:44.329 --> 00:04:47.810
right they are they are as daniel joins the chat

00:04:47.810 --> 00:04:49.529

00:04:49.529 --> 00:04:51.810
today but he'll be listening as much as he can

00:04:51.810 --> 00:04:54.610
hello to everyone who has joined us live hello

00:04:54.610 --> 00:04:57.490
hello luca hello tyson hello everyone we love

00:04:57.490 --> 00:05:04.060
you love let's go so we have good luck dan Fiorentina

00:05:04.060 --> 00:05:09.879
1 Inter 1 now this was a game that I was very

00:05:09.879 --> 00:05:12.939
excited to watch personally because you know

00:05:12.939 --> 00:05:16.879
I'm a believer I'm a dreamer I don't give up

00:05:16.879 --> 00:05:20.620
and I am quite the optimist sometimes when it

00:05:20.620 --> 00:05:22.860
comes to football as well I do believe in sporting

00:05:22.860 --> 00:05:27.100
miracles you know and and I tuned into this game

00:05:27.100 --> 00:05:29.540
and 40 seconds in inter scored and I thought

00:05:29.540 --> 00:05:33.540
to myself all right all right i'm just uh sadist

00:05:33.540 --> 00:05:36.959
at this point just just enjoying feeling the

00:05:36.959 --> 00:05:39.560
pain but but yeah um but thankfully it ended

00:05:39.560 --> 00:05:42.800
it ended one one so the title race is alive it

00:05:42.800 --> 00:05:46.279
is on or is it who knows it's always been on

00:05:46.279 --> 00:05:48.120
there are eight games left but anyway exactly

00:05:48.120 --> 00:05:52.089
so Fiorentina we're missing Sabiri Ledzerini,

00:05:52.089 --> 00:05:54.790
Mandragora and Fortini of course the more notable

00:05:54.790 --> 00:05:58.029
loss over here is Mandragora no those were not

00:05:58.029 --> 00:06:03.350
pizza topping we're missing Mkhitaryan, Bastoni

00:06:03.350 --> 00:06:07.319
and Lautaro Martinez of course So De Gea was

00:06:07.319 --> 00:06:09.740
in goal for Fiorentina as they lined up in kind

00:06:09.740 --> 00:06:13.339
of a 4 -1 -4 -1 formation with Dodo and Goassens

00:06:13.339 --> 00:06:15.860
as the wing backs, Pongericic and Ranieri as

00:06:15.860 --> 00:06:18.339
the centre backs and Fagioli sitting and playing

00:06:18.339 --> 00:06:20.819
a very tidy game right in front of them. Parisi

00:06:20.819 --> 00:06:22.899
on the right, Gudmundsson on the left with Endur

00:06:22.899 --> 00:06:27.209
and Brescianini playing behind Keane. Inter lined

00:06:27.209 --> 00:06:29.649
up in their 3 -5 -2 formation with Sommer in

00:06:29.649 --> 00:06:32.189
goal, Augusto, Akanji and Bissek at the back,

00:06:32.350 --> 00:06:34.689
Dumfries on the right, Di Marco on the left with

00:06:34.689 --> 00:06:36.949
Zielinski, Cialanoglu and Barela in the middle,

00:06:37.250 --> 00:06:42.329
Thuram up front, partnered by Pio Esposito. Now...

00:06:42.350 --> 00:06:46.310
Inside 40 seconds, Esposito headed in from a

00:06:46.310 --> 00:06:48.529
Barrella delivery after a poor clearance from

00:06:48.529 --> 00:06:51.509
Gossens and some dodgy man -marking by Ranieri.

00:06:52.009 --> 00:06:55.610
This is why Ranieri gets on the nerves of Fiorentina

00:06:55.610 --> 00:06:57.689
fans, right? Because when you play him as a centre

00:06:57.689 --> 00:07:01.019
back, he doesn't have... kind of that presence

00:07:01.019 --> 00:07:03.879
to deal with a big striker right or the aggression

00:07:03.879 --> 00:07:07.240
to actually um compete with someone like pios

00:07:07.240 --> 00:07:09.980
posito in the air um and he did find it very

00:07:09.980 --> 00:07:13.279
very difficult it's also you know 40 seconds

00:07:13.279 --> 00:07:16.660
in 40 seconds no excuse but you're discombobulated

00:07:16.660 --> 00:07:19.560
just 40 seconds in and 40 seconds in you have

00:07:19.560 --> 00:07:22.399
dumb freeze hoofing the ball into the box with

00:07:22.399 --> 00:07:24.560
a long throw yeah yeah it was a very chaotic

00:07:24.560 --> 00:07:27.980
yeah and high tempo start from from inter in

00:07:27.980 --> 00:07:30.329
fact the opening 20 minutes where Inter's best

00:07:30.329 --> 00:07:32.870
spell, you had Esposito clipping the post, you

00:07:32.870 --> 00:07:35.930
had Inter scoring again and it being ruled out

00:07:35.930 --> 00:07:39.550
for offside. Fiorentina looked really shaky especially

00:07:39.550 --> 00:07:42.509
down Ranieri and Gossens' side during this period

00:07:42.509 --> 00:07:46.790
but Fiorentina grew into the game. Chances started

00:07:46.790 --> 00:07:49.970
piling and Keane started missing and when he

00:07:49.970 --> 00:07:52.250
did score he was offside and that happened twice.

00:07:53.069 --> 00:07:55.810
He did also miss an open goal after Breccianini

00:07:56.220 --> 00:07:59.199
set them up very nicely. Now in the second half

00:07:59.199 --> 00:08:02.060
there was this momentum swing so Inter's intensity

00:08:02.060 --> 00:08:06.300
dropped. Fiorentina increased the pressure with

00:08:06.300 --> 00:08:09.420
crosses, second balls and just keeping the box

00:08:09.420 --> 00:08:12.259
as busy as possible and the equalizer came in

00:08:12.259 --> 00:08:16.139
the 77th minute when Albert Goodman's shot was

00:08:16.139 --> 00:08:19.319
parried by Sommer and this is the classic Sommer

00:08:19.319 --> 00:08:22.259
parry where you parry it into the danger zone.

00:08:22.439 --> 00:08:26.639
It's not a very I think the problem here is that

00:08:26.639 --> 00:08:31.069
the hand is too strong, right? There's no You

00:08:31.069 --> 00:08:34.110
have to parry the ball out of harm's way. I don't

00:08:34.110 --> 00:08:36.789
think he parries it. I think he almost lets,

00:08:37.250 --> 00:08:40.370
keeps up, keeps a firm strong hand, but doesn't

00:08:40.370 --> 00:08:43.509
do any movement whatsoever to get it out of danger.

00:08:43.909 --> 00:08:45.850
That's something like Mike is really good at.

00:08:46.129 --> 00:08:48.070
You could see when he's diving, he literally

00:08:48.070 --> 00:08:50.970
swings his arms across his body to hoof the ball

00:08:50.970 --> 00:08:53.889
away. Yes, a lesson that my father once taught

00:08:53.889 --> 00:08:56.509
me when we were playing billiards. He told me

00:08:56.509 --> 00:09:00.320
it's not enough to get the balls in, but you

00:09:00.320 --> 00:09:02.659
need to make sure that you are aware where the

00:09:02.659 --> 00:09:05.460
white ball will be after your turn, and that's

00:09:05.460 --> 00:09:07.840
very important. Ayo, y 'all putting the balls

00:09:07.840 --> 00:09:14.419
in? Super. So it was Cher Endur who reacted first,

00:09:14.419 --> 00:09:16.460
he was completely unmarked at the back post,

00:09:17.259 --> 00:09:20.580
conceding this chance was actually a combination

00:09:20.580 --> 00:09:24.799
of errors, it's not all on summer. In fact, Barela

00:09:24.799 --> 00:09:27.379
I think tried to be a little bit too cute, and

00:09:27.379 --> 00:09:29.889
this is something that has happened to winter

00:09:29.889 --> 00:09:33.049
twice in a row had last week dumb freeze just

00:09:33.049 --> 00:09:38.879
you know almost hitting the ground in a complacent

00:09:38.879 --> 00:09:43.620
way in an entitled way right to to just try to

00:09:43.620 --> 00:09:45.340
win the penalty you know he almost grabbed the

00:09:45.340 --> 00:09:47.580
ball on the way down as well and now this time

00:09:47.580 --> 00:09:51.360
you had the Barella trying to dink the ball out

00:09:51.360 --> 00:09:54.340
of their own box trying to be cute with a little

00:09:54.340 --> 00:09:57.200
dink and of course that ball got intercepted

00:09:57.200 --> 00:10:01.879
and chaos ensued and yes Indoor would go on to

00:10:01.879 --> 00:10:04.429
score now Indoor Fun facts about Endur, I'll

00:10:04.429 --> 00:10:07.350
give you two, okay? Okay. 21 years old, PSG youth

00:10:07.350 --> 00:10:11.750
player. Okay. Endur also means I am turning in

00:10:11.750 --> 00:10:16.690
Maltese. Brilliant. Thank you. No, it's the third

00:10:16.690 --> 00:10:19.409
fun fact. No, two is weird. You need to give

00:10:19.409 --> 00:10:22.110
three. That's not the first time we saw that

00:10:22.110 --> 00:10:25.730
from Barrella either. It reminds me of the Champions

00:10:25.730 --> 00:10:29.570
League final against PSG where he tried to keep

00:10:29.570 --> 00:10:33.220
the ball in and he got dispossessed. in his own

00:10:33.220 --> 00:10:35.940
half and they scored on the counter attack yeah

00:10:35.940 --> 00:10:40.399
there just needs to be a little bit more um you

00:10:40.399 --> 00:10:42.320
need to be a little bit more street smart i think

00:10:42.320 --> 00:10:43.940
if you want to get the Scudetto you have a lead

00:10:43.940 --> 00:10:46.960
you know i mean this weekend gave us so many

00:10:46.960 --> 00:10:49.840
good examples of how to how to hold a 1 -0 lead

00:10:49.840 --> 00:10:52.019
and then so many examples of what not to do so

00:10:52.019 --> 00:10:54.919
for example you have Napoli their 1 -0 was expert

00:10:54.919 --> 00:10:57.039
we'll talk about it it was expert they conceded

00:10:57.039 --> 00:11:02.000
zero shots on target it was the classic perfect

00:11:02.000 --> 00:11:05.059
italian set up game like yeah and then and they

00:11:05.059 --> 00:11:07.139
scored early as well very similar to this inter

00:11:07.139 --> 00:11:09.539
game but the problem is that inter didn't control

00:11:09.539 --> 00:11:12.100
this ball and they don't have that cunningness

00:11:12.100 --> 00:11:16.360
to to not concede these stupid chances and and

00:11:16.360 --> 00:11:19.759
i think the difference is because inter gave

00:11:19.759 --> 00:11:22.799
away a lead against atalanta last week as well

00:11:22.799 --> 00:11:27.419
um whereas Inter pretty much blew everyone out

00:11:27.419 --> 00:11:32.519
of the water in the 15 games before this little

00:11:32.519 --> 00:11:33.899
slump that they're going through. I wouldn't

00:11:33.899 --> 00:11:36.500
even call it a little slump, this slump that

00:11:36.500 --> 00:11:38.980
they're currently going through. It almost feels

00:11:38.980 --> 00:11:41.279
like when they didn't have pressure on them and

00:11:41.279 --> 00:11:43.519
no one was expecting them to win the league and

00:11:43.519 --> 00:11:45.360
whatever they played with this confidence, they

00:11:45.360 --> 00:11:48.679
played with this entitlement and they were almost

00:11:48.679 --> 00:11:51.299
untouchable. They were allowed to play Kivu's

00:11:51.299 --> 00:11:54.399
game for every single game and now it almost

00:11:54.399 --> 00:11:56.659
feels like they're trying to safeguard these

00:11:56.659 --> 00:12:00.120
1 -0 victories when that was never their strategy

00:12:00.120 --> 00:12:02.759
to start with and they just focused on maintaining

00:12:02.759 --> 00:12:04.720
that possession and getting another goal and

00:12:04.720 --> 00:12:07.000
keeping the high line. Now you could see them

00:12:07.000 --> 00:12:09.840
kind of retreating from the battle and allowing

00:12:09.840 --> 00:12:12.279
the opposition to attack them and when they're

00:12:12.279 --> 00:12:13.879
allowing the opposition to attack them you could

00:12:13.879 --> 00:12:15.700
see the chinks in their armor, you could see

00:12:15.700 --> 00:12:18.679
that their midfield is extremely leaky. for example,

00:12:19.460 --> 00:12:21.320
all the players coming through the middle like

00:12:21.320 --> 00:12:23.480
that. Barela nowhere to be seen, Shalanoglu nowhere

00:12:23.480 --> 00:12:26.500
to be seen, Zielinski nowhere to be seen. So

00:12:26.500 --> 00:12:28.279
I don't think they're fully playing their game

00:12:28.279 --> 00:12:30.220
at the moment. Of course, like we said, they're

00:12:30.220 --> 00:12:33.559
missing leaders in the team at the moment. They're

00:12:33.559 --> 00:12:37.259
missing a leader in Lautaro Martinez. In fact,

00:12:37.399 --> 00:12:39.460
it all collapsed when Shalanoglu went off as

00:12:39.460 --> 00:12:41.620
well. the midfield isn't the same without him

00:12:41.620 --> 00:12:44.919
and that's that's literally proof that um they

00:12:44.919 --> 00:12:47.299
have leadership issues because Sharnouk was a

00:12:47.299 --> 00:12:51.539
big a big personality man yeah totally um i think

00:12:51.539 --> 00:12:54.379
Keane was a handful i know he missed chances

00:12:54.379 --> 00:12:56.679
and i and i want to talk about like how he doesn't

00:12:56.679 --> 00:12:58.279
afford to miss those chances because that is

00:12:58.279 --> 00:13:00.899
the Keane of two seasons ago not not the Keane

00:13:00.899 --> 00:13:03.159
that finished second capo canoniere last season

00:13:03.159 --> 00:13:07.019
um but he was a handful his his um runs off the

00:13:07.019 --> 00:13:09.259
ball were good he really stretched the opposition

00:13:10.039 --> 00:13:12.860
his play with his back towards goal even late

00:13:12.860 --> 00:13:15.759
on when Atcheri came in and Atcheri was getting

00:13:15.759 --> 00:13:18.419
goal up in his grill Keane was really holding

00:13:18.419 --> 00:13:22.139
his own in those areas so I think as a like utility

00:13:22.139 --> 00:13:26.519
player he did his part in the game and I feel

00:13:26.519 --> 00:13:28.179
like he gave the midfielders quite a bit of work

00:13:28.179 --> 00:13:31.440
to do as well yeah yeah and particularly when

00:13:31.440 --> 00:13:36.059
you pair a striker like Keane with a wide overload

00:13:36.059 --> 00:13:39.340
like Fiorentina do with um who is it gossens

00:13:39.340 --> 00:13:42.639
and parisi on the same side um and breccianini

00:13:42.639 --> 00:13:45.100
as well operating almost in the channels over

00:13:45.100 --> 00:13:47.679
there you get to stretch a player like keen is

00:13:47.679 --> 00:13:49.539
perfect because he's fast and he's strong as

00:13:49.539 --> 00:13:52.600
well so so he stretches the defense quite quite

00:13:52.600 --> 00:13:55.100
well to be honest um just one missing play over

00:13:55.100 --> 00:13:57.779
here at the end it was almost a very theatrical

00:13:57.779 --> 00:14:02.129
and dramatic finish Dave um yeah Esposito had

00:14:02.129 --> 00:14:04.509
a moment at the end literally a dying breath

00:14:04.509 --> 00:14:06.509
where he turned and he shot and he forced De

00:14:06.509 --> 00:14:10.470
Gea into a big save and Kendrick went mental

00:14:10.470 --> 00:14:14.370
Esposito his voice crack was was unbelievable

00:14:14.370 --> 00:14:16.250
I thought I thought they had done it at that

00:14:16.250 --> 00:14:18.850
point I thought so as well it was a good save

00:14:18.850 --> 00:14:21.610
by De Gea I think quite a central shot from from

00:14:21.610 --> 00:14:24.470
Pio but De Gea I like it's a good shot on the

00:14:24.470 --> 00:14:28.450
turn though I like it when De Gea does well he

00:14:28.450 --> 00:14:30.970
seems like a good character, he's someone that

00:14:30.970 --> 00:14:34.350
has struggled in his career. He was the first

00:14:34.350 --> 00:14:36.470
professional footballer to tweet out when the

00:14:36.470 --> 00:14:40.350
young goalkeeper of Spurs had a howler of a performance.

00:14:42.350 --> 00:14:44.289
Didn't he make two mistakes in the opening 15

00:14:44.289 --> 00:14:49.509
minutes? De Gea said people who haven't played

00:14:49.509 --> 00:14:52.389
as a goalkeeper don't know the kind of pressure

00:14:52.389 --> 00:14:54.610
and stress, chin up lad, you'll be back kind

00:14:54.610 --> 00:14:59.909
of thing. Obviously we appreciate that. bro I

00:14:59.909 --> 00:15:02.429
think that we had it we okay let's not get ahead

00:15:02.429 --> 00:15:04.990
of ourselves over here we might have had it twisted

00:15:04.990 --> 00:15:10.710
earlier when we said that inter are good against

00:15:10.710 --> 00:15:13.909
the little teams and bad against the top teams

00:15:13.909 --> 00:15:16.269
right that was the simplistic take right yeah

00:15:16.269 --> 00:15:19.549
but maybe it's not just the case that they're

00:15:19.549 --> 00:15:24.029
bad against top teams maybe they are bad under

00:15:24.029 --> 00:15:29.659
pressure I mean And that would be a good thing

00:15:29.659 --> 00:15:31.940
for Milan and Napoli if this were true because

00:15:31.940 --> 00:15:33.759
the pressure is higher than ever. It makes a

00:15:33.759 --> 00:15:37.279
lot of sense. And why are they bad under pressure?

00:15:37.379 --> 00:15:41.179
Well, you have last season's collapse towards

00:15:41.179 --> 00:15:44.720
the end of the season that it's in their minds.

00:15:45.980 --> 00:15:47.820
Everyone's calling them bottle jobs. They've

00:15:47.820 --> 00:15:50.019
been calling them bottle jobs for an entire season.

00:15:50.399 --> 00:15:53.279
It's in their minds for sure. Plus, they don't

00:15:53.279 --> 00:15:56.080
have that experienced manager that is capable

00:15:56.080 --> 00:15:59.820
of, well, not he's not capable this is his first

00:15:59.820 --> 00:16:04.240
test and his first test isn't you know he needs

00:16:04.240 --> 00:16:07.159
to fight for the league he needs to you know

00:16:07.159 --> 00:16:10.100
push push push to close the gap or whatever it's

00:16:10.100 --> 00:16:15.159
to maintain a 10 point lead over Milan and Napoli

00:16:15.159 --> 00:16:18.320
can you imagine the stress that that comes with

00:16:18.320 --> 00:16:21.460
you can't you just it's in your hands and you

00:16:21.460 --> 00:16:23.320
that's almost even more stressful than leaving

00:16:23.320 --> 00:16:25.580
it up to other people to fuck up they have stopped

00:16:25.580 --> 00:16:28.799
playing with this freedom because now all of

00:16:28.799 --> 00:16:30.600
a sudden they score and they're protecting their

00:16:30.600 --> 00:16:32.879
lead they're trying to protect their lead by

00:16:32.879 --> 00:16:34.940
doing that they're inviting all the pressure

00:16:34.940 --> 00:16:37.440
and they're inviting pressure and they're not

00:16:37.440 --> 00:16:40.100
that tight they're not that tight unit and also

00:16:40.100 --> 00:16:46.399
i feel like why didn't they have the bodies in

00:16:46.399 --> 00:16:49.139
the box that we're used to seeing man I know

00:16:49.139 --> 00:16:51.879
Inter when they play every time there's the ball

00:16:51.879 --> 00:16:55.159
out wide or whatever you have three four bodies

00:16:55.159 --> 00:16:57.659
in the box man ready to attack that ball they

00:16:57.659 --> 00:16:59.460
just cross the ball and you remember Inter and

00:16:59.460 --> 00:17:01.620
their crosses why aren't they whipping the ball

00:17:01.620 --> 00:17:03.519
and they've got the likes of Turam and Esposito

00:17:03.519 --> 00:17:06.259
that are huge Dumfries at the far post or Dumfriesac

00:17:06.259 --> 00:17:08.559
at the far post and one of these centre backs

00:17:08.559 --> 00:17:12.589
getting up and a Kanji or a bissec Nobody's in

00:17:12.589 --> 00:17:14.869
the box to just just be a sparse at all. Maybe

00:17:14.869 --> 00:17:18.410
maybe Turam I think Turam is a is a talking point

00:17:18.410 --> 00:17:21.650
and I think right now he's a liability on this

00:17:21.650 --> 00:17:24.430
team. He's honestly watch this guy and you think

00:17:25.279 --> 00:17:26.960
He doesn't want to be there. He doesn't want

00:17:26.960 --> 00:17:28.440
to be there. He's not exactly interested. Or

00:17:28.440 --> 00:17:30.599
he wants to be there for the wrong reasons. Because

00:17:30.599 --> 00:17:32.680
to me it doesn't look like he wants to play football

00:17:32.680 --> 00:17:34.519
for the team. He doesn't want to win the league.

00:17:34.859 --> 00:17:37.599
He's static. He doesn't coordinate the games.

00:17:38.299 --> 00:17:41.500
He does this weird thing where he randomly starts

00:17:41.500 --> 00:17:47.099
smiling. I don't like it, man. Now, we love Léo.

00:17:47.380 --> 00:17:50.819
You know what I mean? But Léo has a twitch where

00:17:50.819 --> 00:17:53.299
he's constantly playing with a smile on his face

00:17:53.299 --> 00:17:57.380
like Ronaldinho. This guy laughs at like things

00:17:57.380 --> 00:18:00.359
he should be pissed off about. He's laughing

00:18:00.359 --> 00:18:02.579
when he loses the ball. He's laughing when he

00:18:02.579 --> 00:18:07.099
misses a chance like I thought that Van Olli,

00:18:07.299 --> 00:18:08.960
Fiorentina's manager, of course, did very well

00:18:08.960 --> 00:18:11.599
in the second half to adjust to Inter. He slowed

00:18:11.599 --> 00:18:14.420
the tempo down. He controlled possession more.

00:18:15.660 --> 00:18:18.799
He found really nice. He had his players finding

00:18:18.799 --> 00:18:21.339
space between the lines, which was super. And

00:18:21.339 --> 00:18:22.980
in fact, Fiorentina finished the game with more

00:18:22.980 --> 00:18:25.799
shots than Inter, that's 16 to 12. More pressure

00:18:25.799 --> 00:18:29.339
and better territorial control late on. In fact,

00:18:30.079 --> 00:18:33.109
again, man, this is what I said last week. The

00:18:33.109 --> 00:18:37.150
game ended with Inter on the back foot. I mean,

00:18:37.289 --> 00:18:39.069
Grant is supposed to have that chance at the

00:18:39.069 --> 00:18:40.589
end, but it was all Fiorentino before that. He

00:18:40.589 --> 00:18:43.269
had Harrison getting close with a curled effort.

00:18:44.829 --> 00:18:48.150
But anyway, yeah. We have some comments. We know

00:18:48.150 --> 00:18:50.170
Napoli is good with pressure from last season

00:18:50.170 --> 00:18:52.390
with Kante. We know Inter is not good with pressure.

00:18:52.490 --> 00:18:54.569
Interesting to see how Milan will be with this

00:18:54.569 --> 00:18:57.250
pressure. Very good, Tyson. I totally agree.

00:18:57.250 --> 00:18:59.690
I'm curious to see that. The Eastern Napoli -Milan

00:18:59.690 --> 00:19:02.990
game is massive this weekend. not this weekend,

00:19:03.130 --> 00:19:05.609
the one after is going to be absolutely mental.

00:19:05.970 --> 00:19:08.750
Indoor has been a fantasy football gem for the

00:19:08.750 --> 00:19:11.289
last four years now. Oh, yes, brother. He had

00:19:11.289 --> 00:19:13.710
the Euro under 21 campaign as well, right? That

00:19:13.710 --> 00:19:17.049
was his like first breakout campaign in the mainstream.

00:19:17.529 --> 00:19:19.390
But I can imagine the rush of signing someone

00:19:19.390 --> 00:19:21.809
like Indoor four years ago on football manager

00:19:21.809 --> 00:19:24.410
and now seeing him score against Inter must be

00:19:24.410 --> 00:19:27.660
amazing. but yeah um i don't know if there's

00:19:27.660 --> 00:19:30.180
anything else yeah daniel says uh that inter

00:19:30.180 --> 00:19:32.539
didn't do enough in the summer to refresh flogging

00:19:32.539 --> 00:19:34.900
an already dead horse they're too old and they've

00:19:34.900 --> 00:19:38.000
run out of steam we need to do so much this summer

00:19:38.000 --> 00:19:39.579
you need to do so much this summer and you need

00:19:39.579 --> 00:19:43.640
to do so much right now because honestly summer

00:19:43.640 --> 00:19:48.079
and thuram deserve to be i'm gonna sound harsh

00:19:48.079 --> 00:19:50.259
but they deserve to be benched for for these

00:19:50.259 --> 00:19:52.299
performances summer has deserved to be benched

00:19:52.299 --> 00:19:55.339
from match benched from match day five But this

00:19:55.339 --> 00:19:58.579
is the environment that currently exists and

00:19:58.579 --> 00:20:01.059
when things are going well, it's nice. Know that

00:20:01.059 --> 00:20:04.640
they're a bit forgiving, you know, you get a

00:20:04.640 --> 00:20:07.160
second chance, it's your place and all that.

00:20:07.259 --> 00:20:09.259
But first of all, I don't think it's fair on

00:20:09.259 --> 00:20:13.220
the other players in the team who like Martinez.

00:20:13.359 --> 00:20:15.319
Martinez, every time he has been called upon

00:20:15.319 --> 00:20:18.059
and goal for Inter has played very well this

00:20:18.059 --> 00:20:20.559
season. How is it fair that Sommer keeps shitting

00:20:20.559 --> 00:20:27.839
the bed? Like we've praised Inter in the past

00:20:27.839 --> 00:20:31.099
four seasons of Serie A spotlight for being the

00:20:31.099 --> 00:20:33.200
best in the market with a tight budget because

00:20:33.200 --> 00:20:36.000
they'll sell Onana for 40 million to Manchester

00:20:36.000 --> 00:20:38.460
United and bring in Sommer and everyone's talking

00:20:38.460 --> 00:20:40.500
about like wow they got Sommer for that cheap

00:20:40.500 --> 00:20:44.220
he's been so good for two seasons whatever but

00:20:44.220 --> 00:20:47.480
then you need to you need to turn him around

00:20:47.480 --> 00:20:51.680
as well and You know if you're buying 35 year

00:20:51.680 --> 00:20:54.619
olds 36 year olds. I've got a shelf life man

00:20:54.619 --> 00:20:56.660
It's like in the UK when I was to show a shop

00:20:56.660 --> 00:20:59.400
from co -op if you buy an apple you have to eat

00:20:59.400 --> 00:21:01.920
it immediately It's going expired in the next

00:21:01.920 --> 00:21:04.420
day. I've had an apple in my kitchen for like

00:21:04.420 --> 00:21:07.039
five months now, bro Someone someone stopped

00:21:07.039 --> 00:21:10.279
working with me a year and a half ago. They left

00:21:10.279 --> 00:21:14.140
their Apple on their desk It's still in mint

00:21:14.140 --> 00:21:17.279
condition. It's our apples are not are not. Okay,

00:21:17.380 --> 00:21:20.119
bro. That's steroids in them. That's messed up.

00:21:20.119 --> 00:21:26.000
Shall we move? Yes I just wanted to Ask you about

00:21:26.000 --> 00:21:28.940
keen and dispose of because we had two potential

00:21:28.940 --> 00:21:30.839
starters for the Italian national team going

00:21:30.839 --> 00:21:33.440
head -to -head in this game What did you make

00:21:33.440 --> 00:21:37.740
of it man? Because retaggie is the the killer

00:21:38.029 --> 00:21:40.609
of the italian team right he'll be the main guy

00:21:40.609 --> 00:21:43.769
and i guess he'll be partnered up with esposito

00:21:43.769 --> 00:21:45.690
or keen what do you think who would you like

00:21:45.690 --> 00:21:50.369
to see so with with reteggy in particular look

00:21:50.369 --> 00:21:53.849
i i'm not a huge fan of keen and a two up top

00:21:53.849 --> 00:21:56.849
um because i think he needs more space to operate

00:21:56.849 --> 00:22:00.529
and with a target man like reteggy you can consider

00:22:00.529 --> 00:22:03.390
to get poacher target man kind of striker so

00:22:03.390 --> 00:22:06.670
he's in the crucial areas that's where Keane

00:22:06.670 --> 00:22:08.849
needs to run into, that's where Keane needs to

00:22:08.849 --> 00:22:11.309
attack. We saw him and Ato up top with Piccoli

00:22:11.309 --> 00:22:14.269
where they were running into each other. So I

00:22:14.269 --> 00:22:16.890
prefer having Keane as someone that comes on

00:22:16.890 --> 00:22:21.329
later. When the task is to be direct and make

00:22:21.329 --> 00:22:24.630
those runs in behind or play as a lone striker

00:22:24.630 --> 00:22:27.950
Esposito I think because his hold up play is

00:22:27.950 --> 00:22:32.710
so strong Because he has such good size and structure

00:22:32.710 --> 00:22:35.849
and such good physicality that I think he partners

00:22:35.849 --> 00:22:39.710
Aretegi better However, and then there's the

00:22:39.710 --> 00:22:41.690
argument that he is 19 years old and he doesn't

00:22:41.690 --> 00:22:44.410
have the experience that Keane has so there a

00:22:44.410 --> 00:22:46.769
decision needs to be made I think for a two up

00:22:46.769 --> 00:22:51.660
top Esposito fits it better honestly but if you

00:22:51.660 --> 00:22:54.259
had someone running in clean throw on goal in

00:22:54.259 --> 00:22:56.460
the last minute of a game are you gonna choose

00:22:56.460 --> 00:23:01.380
20 goals last season Keane or Serie B last season

00:23:01.380 --> 00:23:04.559
Esposito no but but the question is do you want

00:23:04.559 --> 00:23:07.299
someone like Keane who in his career has had

00:23:07.299 --> 00:23:11.319
so many so many missed chances and poor seasons

00:23:11.319 --> 00:23:15.720
and and just negative moments right because because

00:23:15.720 --> 00:23:17.720
Keane's career hasn't been smooth sailing he

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.039
had one great season last year but before that

00:23:20.039 --> 00:23:22.180
it was almost a tragedy considering he broke

00:23:22.180 --> 00:23:25.200
on he burst onto the scene at 16 years old yeah

00:23:25.200 --> 00:23:27.940
has always kind of been leaving fans wanting

00:23:27.940 --> 00:23:31.009
since then but uh -huh sometimes when you're

00:23:31.009 --> 00:23:33.210
younger man you you play with this fearlessness

00:23:33.210 --> 00:23:35.869
that's almost naive and it helps you you know

00:23:35.869 --> 00:23:38.190
yeah yeah that's probably what keen had when

00:23:38.190 --> 00:23:40.609
he broke out at 16 honestly i think esposito

00:23:40.609 --> 00:23:42.950
is a better shout and you get you get esposito

00:23:42.950 --> 00:23:46.490
scoring in the first 40 seconds um of the game

00:23:47.150 --> 00:23:49.430
It sounds to me like King could be a very good

00:23:49.430 --> 00:23:53.769
super sub and Esposito can be that guy that solidifies

00:23:53.769 --> 00:23:56.730
the two up top and how Gattuso wants to play

00:23:56.730 --> 00:24:00.210
I guess. I wonder how Ritege plays nowadays to

00:24:00.210 --> 00:24:02.029
be honest. I haven't seen him in a while. I know

00:24:02.029 --> 00:24:06.230
that the last thing I saw from him when he was

00:24:06.230 --> 00:24:08.509
playing at Atalanta, he had really improved his

00:24:08.509 --> 00:24:11.549
hold up play and his play with his back towards

00:24:11.549 --> 00:24:17.039
goal. So in that sense, I guess... it would make

00:24:17.039 --> 00:24:20.000
sense to partner Reteggi or Esposdo with Keane

00:24:20.000 --> 00:24:22.119
because of what you said earlier they complement

00:24:22.119 --> 00:24:25.700
each other better while maybe you can play some

00:24:25.700 --> 00:24:28.519
haram hoof ball with Reteggi and Pio up front

00:24:28.519 --> 00:24:30.519
again ah you're saying for for Reteggi to be

00:24:30.519 --> 00:24:34.400
the hold up guy yeah I wouldn't waste him into

00:24:34.400 --> 00:24:37.519
that role yeah but he's his finishing is too

00:24:37.519 --> 00:24:40.440
anyway um shout out to Fajor yeah I thought he

00:24:40.440 --> 00:24:42.200
had a great game he did he did and I thought

00:24:42.200 --> 00:24:44.319
for the national team For the national team,

00:24:44.519 --> 00:24:47.420
that's great. But he didn't get called up. He

00:24:47.420 --> 00:24:50.119
didn't get called up. That's fantastic. There

00:24:50.119 --> 00:24:52.960
were, in fact, some some admissions from the

00:24:52.960 --> 00:24:56.000
Italian national team that raised eyebrows were

00:24:56.000 --> 00:25:03.240
Barthesagi, Zaniolo, Fagioli. Who else was there?

00:25:03.680 --> 00:25:08.259
Who else was there? But those were some some

00:25:08.259 --> 00:25:12.099
big, big admissions, some oversight potentially

00:25:12.099 --> 00:25:15.309
from. from gattuso but he said he wants to build

00:25:15.309 --> 00:25:17.750
a squad for the future and focus on it i'm not

00:25:17.750 --> 00:25:21.069
sure whatever it's a good time to do it you know

00:25:21.069 --> 00:25:24.029
about to risk the third world cup in a row that's

00:25:24.029 --> 00:25:26.430
a team that's won it four times he's injured

00:25:26.430 --> 00:25:29.150
he's injured a day after getting called up he

00:25:29.150 --> 00:25:31.250
flies there talks to gattuso now he's injured

00:25:31.250 --> 00:25:34.150
apparently there was a medical test on him and

00:25:34.150 --> 00:25:38.819
he was deemed not fit That's all. Hey, I'm a

00:25:38.819 --> 00:25:45.240
proof guy. That's what they want you to believe,

00:25:45.259 --> 00:25:48.539
brother. Not that Chiesa has let the Italian

00:25:48.539 --> 00:25:52.000
national team down yet again. But anyway, Chiesa,

00:25:52.019 --> 00:25:53.940
who is this Chiesa? I know I haven't seen him.

00:25:54.539 --> 00:25:58.299
Right now we have Inter in first place with 69

00:25:58.299 --> 00:26:01.819
points. Milan are in second with 63 points. So

00:26:01.819 --> 00:26:04.519
they are, they have cut the deficit over there.

00:26:04.900 --> 00:26:08.059
It is very much alive with Napoli in third with

00:26:08.059 --> 00:26:10.220
62 points. Fiorentina on the other hand have

00:26:10.220 --> 00:26:13.400
managed to gain even more ground from that 18th

00:26:13.400 --> 00:26:16.720
spot as they are now in 16th with 20. 9 points

00:26:16.720 --> 00:26:20.039
how many points is that from 18th that's two

00:26:20.039 --> 00:26:23.960
points two points yes okay okay i'd hope that

00:26:23.960 --> 00:26:26.619
ferentina you know created a bit more distance

00:26:26.619 --> 00:26:29.579
by now but anyway let's jump to milan three torino

00:26:29.579 --> 00:26:31.700
two so milan are back to winning ways following

00:26:31.700 --> 00:26:35.180
their loss to lazio and they are now just six

00:26:35.180 --> 00:26:38.059
points behind inter and they missed leao gabia

00:26:38.059 --> 00:26:40.339
and ruben lofty streak in this game but santi

00:26:40.339 --> 00:26:43.329
jimenez was back on the bench Torino got their

00:26:43.329 --> 00:26:45.710
15th loss of the season in this game meaning

00:26:45.710 --> 00:26:48.890
they've lost half their games. They are however

00:26:48.890 --> 00:26:51.490
coming off a win over Parma. Parma are just letting

00:26:51.490 --> 00:26:56.049
everyone fuck them after they beat Milan. They

00:26:56.049 --> 00:26:58.450
missed Savva and Inji. The previous encounter

00:26:58.450 --> 00:27:01.150
between these two sides was also a 3 -2 victory

00:27:01.150 --> 00:27:03.430
for Milan. It was that comeback with the Rabio

00:27:03.430 --> 00:27:07.250
goal. Yeah, kind of similar to this. 3 -5 -2

00:27:07.250 --> 00:27:09.289
for Allegri's men, Manjani in goal, backline

00:27:09.289 --> 00:27:12.289
of Pavlovic, Leventer and Tomori, Bartasaghi

00:27:12.289 --> 00:27:14.289
on the left, Salemakar is on the right, midfielder

00:27:14.289 --> 00:27:17.269
of Rabiot, Modric and Fofana, with Pulisic and

00:27:17.269 --> 00:27:21.140
Fulkrug up front together. Also a 3 -5 -2 for

00:27:21.140 --> 00:27:23.859
Torino with Pagliari in goal, back line of Cocco,

00:27:24.039 --> 00:27:26.960
Ismaili and Ebosse, Pedersen on the right, Obrador

00:27:26.960 --> 00:27:28.839
on the left and the midfield three of Vlasic,

00:27:29.000 --> 00:27:31.680
Prati and Ginnitis with Simeone and Zapata up

00:27:31.680 --> 00:27:33.539
front together. Now of course I always tell you

00:27:33.539 --> 00:27:35.500
that Cocco means shit in Maltese but the fact

00:27:35.500 --> 00:27:37.980
that there's Ebosse which means farts in Maltese

00:27:37.980 --> 00:27:40.519
is just hilarious. There's farts and shit at

00:27:40.519 --> 00:27:43.259
the back for Torino and Ismaili in the middle

00:27:43.259 --> 00:27:46.940
just getting shot and farted on. So Pavlovic

00:27:46.940 --> 00:27:49.210
opened the scoring with a stunning long -range

00:27:49.210 --> 00:27:51.529
half volley after a partial clearance fell to

00:27:51.529 --> 00:27:54.549
him outside the box. Torino responded just before

00:27:54.549 --> 00:27:57.710
halftime as Vlasic shot hit the post, rebounded

00:27:57.710 --> 00:28:00.329
off Mannian, and Simeone reacted quickest to

00:28:00.329 --> 00:28:02.970
tap in the equalizer. Early in the second half,

00:28:03.210 --> 00:28:04.950
Pulisic drove into the box and pulled it across

00:28:04.950 --> 00:28:07.190
for Rabiot who bundled it in from close range

00:28:07.190 --> 00:28:09.529
to make it 2 -1, and then just two minutes later

00:28:09.529 --> 00:28:11.970
Fafana controlled inside the area, turned under

00:28:11.970 --> 00:28:14.049
pressure and finished into Pagliari's near post

00:28:14.049 --> 00:28:17.819
to make it 3 -1. Later on Torino got back into

00:28:17.819 --> 00:28:20.539
it as Pavlovich fouled Simeone in the box and

00:28:20.539 --> 00:28:22.660
Vlasic converted the penalty to make it 3 -2.

00:28:22.680 --> 00:28:25.700
Vlasic simply with these penalties he doesn't

00:28:25.700 --> 00:28:29.099
put a foot wrong. What a penalty that was in

00:28:29.099 --> 00:28:31.880
the top right corner. Yeah unstoppable even though

00:28:31.880 --> 00:28:35.859
Mike didn't track it at all. But this firstly

00:28:35.859 --> 00:28:39.579
I think it's a quintessential Milan Allegri performance

00:28:39.579 --> 00:28:43.869
where Milan were absolutely dreadful dog shit

00:28:43.869 --> 00:28:45.970
called it what you want in the in the first half

00:28:45.970 --> 00:28:48.710
and then the second half they picked up what

00:28:48.710 --> 00:28:51.230
are your thoughts? I know that's that's exactly

00:28:51.230 --> 00:28:54.190
what happened and Allegri swapped to a back four

00:28:54.190 --> 00:28:57.210
yeah during that period Atacama came on who's

00:28:57.210 --> 00:28:59.670
like a man possessed totally he's a unit he's

00:28:59.670 --> 00:29:02.269
massive and he he pumps those crosses into the

00:29:02.269 --> 00:29:04.769
box relentlessly got an assist got an assist

00:29:04.769 --> 00:29:07.349
for it yes and and we have said many times before

00:29:07.349 --> 00:29:11.289
that Barthesagi and Atacama are two very accomplished

00:29:11.289 --> 00:29:14.910
crossers so that worked well and also I liked

00:29:14.910 --> 00:29:17.990
the double pivot of Modric and Rabiot with Fofana

00:29:17.990 --> 00:29:20.980
operating as kind of a pressing midfielder as

00:29:20.980 --> 00:29:23.779
well operating in that space between their defense

00:29:23.779 --> 00:29:26.720
and their midfield that's I think it's a very

00:29:26.720 --> 00:29:30.119
good role for Fafana and apart from the goal

00:29:30.119 --> 00:29:31.940
as well I think he's been very good lately Fafana

00:29:31.940 --> 00:29:35.000
I want to give Fafana his flowers he said in

00:29:35.000 --> 00:29:38.240
an interview he spoke really well he said initially

00:29:38.240 --> 00:29:41.039
when the coach tells you you're gonna play closer

00:29:41.039 --> 00:29:42.940
to goal your first reaction is always to be happy

00:29:42.940 --> 00:29:44.980
it excites you it gets that kid out of you you

00:29:44.980 --> 00:29:46.740
want to score a goal you want to be involved

00:29:46.740 --> 00:29:50.819
it's like but upon further like reflection that's

00:29:50.819 --> 00:29:52.819
not where I want to play I like starting attacks

00:29:52.819 --> 00:29:55.119
I like bringing the ball forward from deep that's

00:29:55.119 --> 00:29:57.019
where I want to be that's where I feel I'm the

00:29:57.019 --> 00:30:01.019
best he thinks it's not good for his chances

00:30:01.019 --> 00:30:02.819
with the French national team for example that

00:30:02.819 --> 00:30:05.880
he's being played out of possession but he's

00:30:05.880 --> 00:30:07.920
a professional and he's the kind of player that

00:30:07.920 --> 00:30:11.940
Allegri wants in his team and look man if he

00:30:11.940 --> 00:30:15.440
weren't so bloody clumsy you know and clumsy

00:30:15.440 --> 00:30:17.880
in like he should have scored there he should

00:30:17.880 --> 00:30:21.940
have scored there he fumbled that i think i think

00:30:21.940 --> 00:30:24.660
he's a very well rounded midfielder a very well

00:30:24.660 --> 00:30:27.059
rounded midfielder with with good pressing ability

00:30:27.059 --> 00:30:30.279
good strength good passing he's just a bit clumsy

00:30:30.279 --> 00:30:33.799
when it matters in fact keep him out of both

00:30:33.799 --> 00:30:37.509
boxes and you and he's a great player I think

00:30:37.509 --> 00:30:40.650
that he... I remember him in his first season,

00:30:40.710 --> 00:30:43.990
we discussed this last episode, those balls...

00:30:43.990 --> 00:30:46.490
He assisted Ryan, there's like three games in

00:30:46.490 --> 00:30:49.609
a row, remember that? Yeah, so this is definitely

00:30:49.609 --> 00:30:52.630
a new role for him, but I wouldn't agree. I mean,

00:30:52.730 --> 00:30:57.609
this is probably him coping or justifying the

00:30:57.609 --> 00:31:00.130
fact that he didn't get into a very competitive

00:31:00.130 --> 00:31:03.150
France squad, because this France team is very

00:31:03.150 --> 00:31:06.519
difficult to get into. bro if you look on your

00:31:06.519 --> 00:31:09.359
left on the football pitch you can see a player

00:31:09.359 --> 00:31:10.920
who's literally doing better than you who will

00:31:10.920 --> 00:31:13.140
probably start instead of you for France, Rabiot

00:31:13.140 --> 00:31:20.559
you know I mean like no chance and you know it's

00:31:20.559 --> 00:31:22.579
always a good thing to be able to expand your

00:31:22.579 --> 00:31:24.940
game and he's at the at the service of the coach

00:31:24.940 --> 00:31:27.240
it's true and sometimes I guess when you sacrifice

00:31:27.240 --> 00:31:31.460
your game to help the team you can come across

00:31:31.950 --> 00:31:34.089
You can't end up looking bad for it. He's right.

00:31:34.210 --> 00:31:37.349
He is right. He's absolutely spot -on however

00:31:37.349 --> 00:31:40.190
I think when it comes to this for his career

00:31:40.190 --> 00:31:42.710
him playing here him playing for Milan him being

00:31:42.710 --> 00:31:45.750
coached by Allegri taking on this new role he's

00:31:45.750 --> 00:31:48.789
not old he's 27 years old so he still has time

00:31:48.789 --> 00:31:50.829
to decide what he wants to do in the future but

00:31:50.829 --> 00:31:54.049
this can't be bad for his career no you know

00:31:54.049 --> 00:31:54.970
this is one of the highlights of his career I

00:31:54.970 --> 00:31:57.349
might have exaggerated that I don't think he

00:31:57.349 --> 00:31:59.569
said it's bad for my career I think he said it

00:31:59.569 --> 00:32:01.109
doesn't do me any favors for the national team

00:32:01.109 --> 00:32:04.029
for the call -up exactly yeah but anyway you

00:32:04.029 --> 00:32:07.019
mentioned Allegri's shift to 4 at the back. This

00:32:07.019 --> 00:32:10.779
is the seventh time Allegri has made this change

00:32:10.779 --> 00:32:14.339
particularly at the break. So there was against

00:32:14.339 --> 00:32:17.539
Cremone as it was 0 -0, switched to a 4 -3 -3

00:32:17.539 --> 00:32:19.759
and won the match 2 -0. It was against Torino

00:32:19.759 --> 00:32:23.799
at 1 -1 in the previous fixture, switched to

00:32:23.799 --> 00:32:27.880
3 -4 words of course and he brought the 3 -2

00:32:27.880 --> 00:32:30.619
victory. Against Fiorentina at 1 -0 down, switched

00:32:30.619 --> 00:32:33.589
to a 3 -man attack. and brought in Kun Kuan for

00:32:33.589 --> 00:32:37.369
a late equaliser against Lecce when Fulcruz scored

00:32:37.369 --> 00:32:40.089
the winning goal in the final minutes and there

00:32:40.089 --> 00:32:42.150
were of course two wingers over there against

00:32:42.150 --> 00:32:44.950
Pisa with the score at 1 -1 it led to a late

00:32:44.950 --> 00:32:49.869
win against Torino I already said that and against

00:32:49.869 --> 00:32:53.529
Fiorentina at sun zero the score of at 1 -0 so

00:32:53.529 --> 00:32:56.549
that happened twice against Fiorentina I believe

00:32:56.549 --> 00:33:01.539
so seven times Milan have made that change It

00:33:01.539 --> 00:33:06.259
simply allows Milan to stretch the pitch more

00:33:06.259 --> 00:33:10.059
horizontally, create more 1v1 situations, especially

00:33:10.059 --> 00:33:12.339
for the likes of Pulisic and eventually Leao

00:33:12.339 --> 00:33:15.480
as well. It freed Rabiot from tight marking because

00:33:15.480 --> 00:33:18.779
Vlasic was on Rabiot the entire game and he confined

00:33:18.779 --> 00:33:21.640
him into that one space. Once there was more

00:33:21.640 --> 00:33:24.220
space to operate, Rabiot was allowed to make

00:33:24.220 --> 00:33:26.180
those late runs into the box which got him the

00:33:26.180 --> 00:33:29.019
goal. it allowed Fafana to make the attacking

00:33:29.019 --> 00:33:31.599
grounds as well and it increased presence in

00:33:31.599 --> 00:33:34.160
the box which is something that you know Milan

00:33:34.160 --> 00:33:36.279
barely have bodies in the box because essentially

00:33:36.619 --> 00:33:39.200
The two strikers, they typically play with our

00:33:39.200 --> 00:33:42.319
wingers, let's be honest. Higher defensive line,

00:33:42.440 --> 00:33:44.220
so they sustained pressure in Torino's half.

00:33:44.619 --> 00:33:47.200
The fullbacks had clear overlapping lanes. They

00:33:47.200 --> 00:33:50.000
disrupted Torino's man -oriented midfield structure.

00:33:50.500 --> 00:33:52.519
They forced Torino's defenders into reactive,

00:33:52.720 --> 00:33:55.599
deeper positioning and an overall shift from

00:33:55.599 --> 00:33:58.619
passive slow build up to aggressive and direct

00:33:58.619 --> 00:34:00.279
play. So you look at those things and you're

00:34:00.279 --> 00:34:02.380
like, why don't they just play a 4 -3 -3 from

00:34:02.380 --> 00:34:07.059
the get -go? but it is that change it's like

00:34:07.059 --> 00:34:09.500
shifting is part of it yeah yeah exactly exactly

00:34:09.500 --> 00:34:11.579
you start solid you feel out your opponent and

00:34:11.579 --> 00:34:13.199
then you hit them that's what Alexey likes to

00:34:13.199 --> 00:34:16.199
do the problem is when he doesn't change or when

00:34:16.199 --> 00:34:20.099
you shift to that system and end up taking out

00:34:20.099 --> 00:34:22.920
a target man for example you know just you have

00:34:22.920 --> 00:34:24.920
to obviously cater for the for the personnel

00:34:24.920 --> 00:34:27.380
over there and it was interesting to see full

00:34:27.380 --> 00:34:29.260
Krug at times he operated like a midfielder he

00:34:29.260 --> 00:34:33.550
dropped so deep yeah yeah as like uh -huh to

00:34:33.550 --> 00:34:36.710
win those those first balls and and everything

00:34:36.710 --> 00:34:41.289
yeah he hasn't convinced me yet no no and i i

00:34:41.289 --> 00:34:43.670
don't think it's the nature it's the nature of

00:34:43.670 --> 00:34:46.429
the type of signing that you sign a west ham

00:34:46.429 --> 00:34:50.769
flop that's past 30 um not discounting the career

00:34:50.769 --> 00:34:52.989
full crook has had and that he's still capable

00:34:52.989 --> 00:34:56.760
of doing Good things that at maybe other clubs

00:34:56.760 --> 00:34:58.659
they could still do it at Milan, but it just

00:34:58.659 --> 00:35:01.300
hasn't convinced me at man No, no, he hasn't

00:35:01.300 --> 00:35:04.280
he hasn't Unfortunately because I I like him.

00:35:04.360 --> 00:35:08.800
Yeah one thing I want to mention bro is Tomori

00:35:08.800 --> 00:35:13.159
because the more That Allegri insists on this

00:35:13.159 --> 00:35:16.219
three at the back with a relatively low line

00:35:16.219 --> 00:35:21.349
and the safety first approach um and then building

00:35:21.349 --> 00:35:23.889
play slowly and relying on ball carriers i don't

00:35:23.889 --> 00:35:26.329
feel like tomori exactly fits that mold man but

00:35:26.329 --> 00:35:28.409
he operates a bit like a right back and i think

00:35:28.409 --> 00:35:30.969
he does a decent job there no i think he can

00:35:30.969 --> 00:35:33.670
always do better though he leaves me one thing

00:35:33.670 --> 00:35:36.150
as a right back and he leaves me and he's too

00:35:36.150 --> 00:35:38.130
erratic then to play as a center back as well

00:35:38.130 --> 00:35:40.590
i think that let me give you an example of a

00:35:40.590 --> 00:35:44.309
team that tomori would be great at como because

00:35:44.309 --> 00:35:46.210
their defense plays on the high line imagine

00:35:46.210 --> 00:35:49.800
como imagine um torino and ramon together at

00:35:49.800 --> 00:35:51.960
the back. Tomori and Ramon. Tomori sorry what

00:35:51.960 --> 00:35:56.880
did I say? Torino. Torino and Ramon. Yeah Tomori

00:35:56.880 --> 00:36:00.380
and Ramon at the back would do very well because

00:36:00.380 --> 00:36:02.760
he's a high line he's aggressive you know he

00:36:02.760 --> 00:36:04.920
was he was really good Tomori in fact under in

00:36:04.920 --> 00:36:08.019
purely system where he was that you know. I see

00:36:08.019 --> 00:36:10.320
what you mean I don't think he stands out negatively

00:36:10.320 --> 00:36:12.579
I think I think even he operates decently as

00:36:12.579 --> 00:36:15.239
I write back when Milan are in possession. I

00:36:15.239 --> 00:36:18.070
think he's become the the worst of the of the

00:36:18.070 --> 00:36:19.989
bunch interesting i think he's been having quite

00:36:19.989 --> 00:36:22.170
a good season to be fair man okay fair enough

00:36:22.170 --> 00:36:24.389
um let us know what you think yeah but on the

00:36:24.389 --> 00:36:27.269
topic of defenders milan were gonna sell pavlovich

00:36:27.269 --> 00:36:29.650
to fenerbahce for 20 million if he didn't say

00:36:29.650 --> 00:36:32.710
no how much do you think he's worth now oh i

00:36:32.710 --> 00:36:35.429
think that pavlovich could you you could easily

00:36:35.429 --> 00:36:37.550
ask for 40 million for someone like pavlovich

00:36:37.550 --> 00:36:41.909
no from the prem uh -huh from anywhere saudi

00:36:41.909 --> 00:36:44.840
yeah you know I think I think look I think you

00:36:44.840 --> 00:36:49.199
can get like 35 million it's a researched purchase

00:36:49.199 --> 00:36:52.719
um I think anything above that is is is Milan

00:36:52.719 --> 00:36:55.159
negotiating and then and Milan doing their thing

00:36:55.159 --> 00:36:59.699
stating his importance etc um but just just look

00:36:59.699 --> 00:37:04.260
at that what that erratic decision could have

00:37:04.260 --> 00:37:06.960
done right Milan without Pavlovic this season

00:37:06.960 --> 00:37:10.139
who has really offered something that they lost

00:37:10.139 --> 00:37:13.980
through Theo Hernandez and it's almost like like

00:37:13.980 --> 00:37:16.119
I didn't feel the loss of Theo because of the

00:37:16.119 --> 00:37:18.840
way that Pavlovic is operating the way he carries

00:37:18.840 --> 00:37:21.019
the ball forward and then paired with Barthes

00:37:21.019 --> 00:37:24.320
Aghi who has better crossing than Theo and is

00:37:24.320 --> 00:37:27.219
probably better defensively than Theo I mean

00:37:27.219 --> 00:37:30.849
you just get someone Let's compare him to Theo

00:37:30.849 --> 00:37:34.750
again. Theo's attitude in his last season for

00:37:34.750 --> 00:37:39.349
Milan is the spectral opposite of Pavlovic's

00:37:39.349 --> 00:37:42.070
attitude every single game. Because it's true

00:37:42.070 --> 00:37:43.969
Pavlovic is clumsy but he wears his heart on

00:37:43.969 --> 00:37:46.289
his sleeve and he actually cares a lot and I

00:37:46.289 --> 00:37:49.349
don't know if it's love for the team or love

00:37:49.349 --> 00:37:52.949
for the sport or his own game or desire to improve

00:37:52.949 --> 00:37:56.820
but whatever it is, it's contagious. it's contagious

00:37:56.820 --> 00:37:59.139
absolutely just one more comment from my end

00:37:59.139 --> 00:38:02.119
the layout ex -polisic celebration did you notice

00:38:02.119 --> 00:38:05.360
that they did like a half surf and half eye of

00:38:05.360 --> 00:38:07.579
the tiger that's what that was i was wondering

00:38:07.579 --> 00:38:09.320
what the show there's no bad blood didn't see

00:38:09.320 --> 00:38:11.880
layout smile i thought the avengers arrived bro

00:38:11.880 --> 00:38:16.000
no it's so unlike rabiot to pull some cringe

00:38:16.000 --> 00:38:18.440
shit like that it's like i was watching uve for

00:38:18.440 --> 00:38:21.380
a while it's to show there's no bad blood between

00:38:21.380 --> 00:38:23.840
polisic and and layout that's what i like to

00:38:23.840 --> 00:38:26.090
see Obviously a camp that's that's brought in

00:38:26.090 --> 00:38:27.889
together just a few comments on Torino before

00:38:27.889 --> 00:38:31.849
we move on Vlasic just continues to prove What

00:38:31.849 --> 00:38:35.030
a player he is even defensive duties he was doing

00:38:35.030 --> 00:38:37.750
in this game when he how he man -marked Rabiot

00:38:37.750 --> 00:38:40.190
He really disrupted Milan's flow for the first

00:38:40.190 --> 00:38:43.309
half and I thought in the first half Torino really

00:38:43.309 --> 00:38:47.639
utilized the wings well and much like was it

00:38:47.639 --> 00:38:50.440
Parma no Lazio much like Lazio they were finding

00:38:50.440 --> 00:38:54.039
success behind Salamakas and Barthesagi I thought

00:38:54.039 --> 00:38:56.980
Simeone and Zapata were constantly threatening

00:38:56.980 --> 00:39:00.539
especially in the first half threatening those

00:39:00.539 --> 00:39:05.119
second balls close to goal and however they just

00:39:05.440 --> 00:39:07.300
You know, they lost the game in the span of two

00:39:07.300 --> 00:39:11.559
minutes. But they lost the midfield after Milan's

00:39:11.559 --> 00:39:14.239
formation change. And I think that's how, in

00:39:14.239 --> 00:39:18.719
a nutshell, the game went. Daversa has set the

00:39:18.719 --> 00:39:22.900
Storino side up quite nicely, to be honest with

00:39:22.900 --> 00:39:26.400
you. They looked really organized against Milan.

00:39:26.659 --> 00:39:29.369
And I believe... one moment let me confirm yes

00:39:29.369 --> 00:39:31.610
they did they smashed parma last week as well

00:39:31.610 --> 00:39:34.750
so so a good sign so far from the versa totally

00:39:34.750 --> 00:39:37.710
totally how they develop yeah they find themselves

00:39:37.710 --> 00:39:41.230
at the moment in 14th on 33 points just to paint

00:39:41.230 --> 00:39:43.429
the picture they level on points with genoa and

00:39:43.429 --> 00:39:46.369
one behind parma and while milan find themselves

00:39:46.369 --> 00:39:49.070
in the title battle 63 points in second place

00:39:49.070 --> 00:39:52.269
six points behind enter one ahead of napoli over

00:39:52.269 --> 00:39:56.469
to you obera yeah we have kalyari nil napoli

00:39:56.469 --> 00:39:59.630
one so kalyari were missing ballotti they were

00:39:59.630 --> 00:40:02.889
missing felici idrissi and obert was suspended

00:40:02.889 --> 00:40:05.389
after getting sent off in the last game while

00:40:05.389 --> 00:40:09.510
napoli napoli were missing neres dilorenzo vergara

00:40:09.510 --> 00:40:12.929
and rahmani christ that's a weird lisp you have

00:40:12.929 --> 00:40:18.699
a weird lisp almost japanese isn't it uh -huh

00:40:18.699 --> 00:40:21.159
so let me just pull up the lineups right here

00:40:21.159 --> 00:40:28.750
very quick it was It was Caprile in goal for

00:40:28.750 --> 00:40:31.849
Cagliari with Pedro, Mina and Docena at the back

00:40:31.849 --> 00:40:34.429
in their 3 -5 -2 formation. Palestra was on the

00:40:34.429 --> 00:40:37.110
right with Rodriguez on the left. Adopo, Gaetano

00:40:37.110 --> 00:40:39.690
and Sulamano occupied the middle with Esposito

00:40:39.690 --> 00:40:42.510
and Fuloruncio starting together up front. Of

00:40:42.510 --> 00:40:46.170
course this is Inter's Esposito's brother Sebastiano

00:40:46.170 --> 00:40:49.230
of course, not Pio Esposito. And there's another

00:40:49.230 --> 00:40:50.809
one in Serie B for those of you who don't know.

00:40:51.010 --> 00:40:54.340
I want to see how he's doing. So Vania was in

00:40:54.340 --> 00:40:57.840
goal for Napoli in their 3 -4 -2 -1 formation

00:40:57.840 --> 00:41:00.019
with Olivera Bonjorno and Beucama at the back

00:41:00.019 --> 00:41:02.420
Gutierrez on the left, Politan on the right with

00:41:02.420 --> 00:41:04.840
Lobotka and Gilmore in the double pivot, De Bruyne

00:41:04.840 --> 00:41:09.510
and McTominay playing behind Hoiland. So after

00:41:09.510 --> 00:41:12.969
less than two minutes Scott Mcdominay scored

00:41:12.969 --> 00:41:15.570
the winner. He's back. He's back. And that's

00:41:15.570 --> 00:41:17.269
it back with an immediate impact. But it was

00:41:17.269 --> 00:41:19.750
a tap -in but he got the tap -in. He scored the

00:41:19.750 --> 00:41:21.809
tap -in. Exactly. Why did no one else get to

00:41:21.809 --> 00:41:24.210
the board? So there was a cross from Poletano.

00:41:24.250 --> 00:41:26.889
There was a flick by Belkama. Really scrappy

00:41:26.889 --> 00:41:29.750
sequence. I tried to... Like write down what

00:41:29.750 --> 00:41:32.130
happened, but honestly it just ended up rebounding

00:41:32.130 --> 00:41:34.389
of the post I'm not sure what happened and Mcdominait

00:41:34.389 --> 00:41:36.690
tapped it in that's my analysis of the goal from

00:41:36.690 --> 00:41:40.070
from there the match followed a very clear Pattern

00:41:40.070 --> 00:41:42.889
it was Napoli controlling the tempo and the game

00:41:42.889 --> 00:41:45.190
Kaliari really struggling to break the press

00:41:45.190 --> 00:41:49.510
and the best chances Fell to Esposito after an

00:41:49.510 --> 00:41:52.090
Olivera mistake, but he missed that was the good

00:41:52.090 --> 00:41:54.849
thing and it was only a half chance really In

00:41:54.849 --> 00:41:56.909
the second half Napoli once again came out and

00:41:56.909 --> 00:41:59.239
they pushed early again They love doing that.

00:41:59.340 --> 00:42:01.199
They love to catch you off guard, right? Kalyari

00:42:01.199 --> 00:42:02.519
must have been thinking they're holding back.

00:42:02.559 --> 00:42:04.239
Let's try hit them. And all of a sudden they

00:42:04.239 --> 00:42:07.059
come out and they try to hit you. The game shifted

00:42:07.059 --> 00:42:10.699
into management mode soon after that. Kalyari

00:42:10.699 --> 00:42:13.659
pushed late, but they created absolutely no shots

00:42:13.659 --> 00:42:16.820
on target. There was a final key moment. A lost

00:42:16.820 --> 00:42:18.940
ditch clearance by Spinatzola to stop a late

00:42:18.940 --> 00:42:23.400
equalizer. And that was that for for Napoli.

00:42:23.420 --> 00:42:27.340
Bro, this was a nice system. It kind of was like

00:42:27.340 --> 00:42:33.940
a Like a hybrid 3 -5 -1 -1 slash 3 -6 -1 almost

00:42:33.940 --> 00:42:37.679
really overloading and packing the central midfield

00:42:37.679 --> 00:42:40.119
area He had four plus central players for the

00:42:40.119 --> 00:42:43.099
majority of the game with the Bruin playing as

00:42:43.099 --> 00:42:45.699
a number ten behind Hoyland and McTominay acting

00:42:45.699 --> 00:42:48.900
as kind of an advanced midfielder slash runner

00:42:48.900 --> 00:42:53.179
I mean if there's someone who previously were

00:42:53.179 --> 00:42:58.380
talking about how Kivu was struggling under pressure

00:42:58.380 --> 00:43:01.380
to keep that lead at the top of the table and

00:43:01.380 --> 00:43:04.400
how to keep the lead in games. The CEO of those

00:43:04.400 --> 00:43:08.559
two things in Serie A, history, is Antonio Conte.

00:43:09.760 --> 00:43:12.099
The way he packed the midfield in a game like

00:43:12.099 --> 00:43:14.199
this, knowing that Calieri are a physical side

00:43:14.199 --> 00:43:16.639
with the likes of Adopo and Suleymane on midfield

00:43:16.639 --> 00:43:18.920
and Follow Runesho as well. And then with the

00:43:18.920 --> 00:43:22.900
creativity of Salvatore, sorry, Sebastiano Esposito

00:43:22.900 --> 00:43:26.619
and Palestra on the pitch as well. very well

00:43:26.619 --> 00:43:30.659
managed, well maintained victory still without

00:43:30.659 --> 00:43:34.760
his full squad but still with the same idea that

00:43:34.760 --> 00:43:38.219
he entered the season with that really condensing

00:43:38.219 --> 00:43:41.739
the midfield with De Bruyne, McTominay, Lobotka

00:43:41.739 --> 00:43:44.280
and Gilmour all operating there in a 3 -4 -2

00:43:44.280 --> 00:43:46.880
-1 and then they overload the right to attack

00:43:46.880 --> 00:43:49.380
it was 42 % of their attacks came from the right

00:43:49.380 --> 00:43:52.269
side with Poletano as the key outlet and then

00:43:52.269 --> 00:43:56.449
a bunch of players were shifting across and the

00:43:56.449 --> 00:44:01.429
early goal actually came from that pattern yeah

00:44:01.429 --> 00:44:04.429
and even the first build up man they came out

00:44:04.429 --> 00:44:09.630
so ready with a plan and they executed it perfectly

00:44:09.630 --> 00:44:13.429
man in that first chance they had seven Napoli

00:44:13.429 --> 00:44:16.449
players in Caliari's half within 15 seconds the

00:44:16.449 --> 00:44:19.329
pressing was so aggressive man so aggressive

00:44:19.329 --> 00:44:22.460
like It would have been such a different game

00:44:22.460 --> 00:44:26.480
if they didn't score early. Yeah totally but

00:44:26.480 --> 00:44:30.860
they didn't have to because of Scott McTominay

00:44:30.860 --> 00:44:32.719
and that's why it's so good to have a player

00:44:32.719 --> 00:44:35.340
like that on your team because you notice when

00:44:35.340 --> 00:44:37.880
Scott was out they didn't get those all -important

00:44:37.880 --> 00:44:40.039
goals that they needed in games like that. He

00:44:40.039 --> 00:44:43.760
is Very much in case anyone ever doubted it for

00:44:43.760 --> 00:44:46.199
a second. He is the star man of this team No,

00:44:46.199 --> 00:44:49.440
he's he's what Ronaldo was to Real Madrid in

00:44:49.440 --> 00:44:52.300
that sense. He's the the big moment player leave

00:44:52.300 --> 00:44:59.400
it up to him Just to give you a bit more information

00:44:59.400 --> 00:45:02.219
on how they manage the game how content manage

00:45:02.219 --> 00:45:04.800
the game So, of course, there was a drop in tempo

00:45:04.800 --> 00:45:07.860
drop in the defensive line slightly lower block.

00:45:07.940 --> 00:45:11.480
He brought on Anguissa and Spinazzola and they

00:45:11.480 --> 00:45:13.599
packed the middle and forced the opposition in

00:45:13.599 --> 00:45:15.980
the middle because of course Kaleri have quite

00:45:15.980 --> 00:45:20.360
a few dangerous outlets out wide and and this

00:45:20.360 --> 00:45:23.280
was this was just super effective and in fact

00:45:23.280 --> 00:45:26.159
you know Pizzakana to try to counter this ended

00:45:26.159 --> 00:45:29.500
up bringing on three strikers and Kilijsoy, Mendy

00:45:29.500 --> 00:45:32.199
and Treppy they're just spawning youth strikers

00:45:32.199 --> 00:45:36.480
i've never heard of Mendy in my life now But

00:45:36.480 --> 00:45:39.239
Treppi, we've seen he's even scored a very important

00:45:39.239 --> 00:45:41.440
one. They tried to press, they tried to play

00:45:41.440 --> 00:45:43.719
direct, but there were no clear chances and no

00:45:43.719 --> 00:45:47.760
shots on target whatsoever. Now this type of

00:45:47.760 --> 00:45:51.099
style, of course, you're also banking on a little

00:45:51.099 --> 00:45:53.079
bit of luck, right? Because, for example, from

00:45:53.079 --> 00:45:56.440
one point there was Gaetano who had a shot from

00:45:56.440 --> 00:45:59.519
quite far out and it just went wide. Like, in

00:45:59.519 --> 00:46:02.360
reality, it wasn't a big, big chance, but...

00:46:02.409 --> 00:46:05.090
the keeper was rooted to the spot had that taken

00:46:05.090 --> 00:46:07.090
a slight deflection or something like that could

00:46:07.090 --> 00:46:09.730
always go in right that's the danger of playing

00:46:09.730 --> 00:46:12.829
to defend these one leads and boy do we know

00:46:12.829 --> 00:46:17.329
all about that bro look I totally I see where

00:46:17.329 --> 00:46:20.289
like I see what you're saying um but this is

00:46:20.289 --> 00:46:22.789
how Napoli won the league last season you know

00:46:22.789 --> 00:46:26.590
um it's how Allegri won so many leagues with

00:46:26.590 --> 00:46:30.719
Juve um it's how For the last nine games of the

00:46:30.719 --> 00:46:34.280
season how Milan won the league under Piolli,

00:46:34.280 --> 00:46:39.059
you know It's a you are banking on a little bit

00:46:39.059 --> 00:46:46.079
of luck. Yeah, but it's it's a You are banking

00:46:46.079 --> 00:46:49.880
on some luck and and you know you but but at

00:46:49.880 --> 00:46:51.960
the end of the day, bro, you need luck it's you

00:46:51.960 --> 00:46:54.500
need yeah yeah it's it's essentially limiting

00:46:54.500 --> 00:46:56.960
their attacks if they get one good attack and

00:46:56.960 --> 00:46:58.400
they don't score it everyone's talking about

00:46:58.400 --> 00:47:00.679
either luck but look at the amount of chances

00:47:00.679 --> 00:47:03.119
you've limited it's all risk management right

00:47:03.119 --> 00:47:06.599
and it's all this what we're seeing right now

00:47:06.599 --> 00:47:10.440
with this approach to football um on on a grand

00:47:10.440 --> 00:47:13.860
scale is just the result of of stats becoming

00:47:13.860 --> 00:47:17.309
extremely accessible and popular because everything

00:47:17.309 --> 00:47:19.949
is stats based, everything is X to G based, everything

00:47:19.949 --> 00:47:23.289
is trance based. So, you know, you've scored.

00:47:23.710 --> 00:47:25.750
you can win all you have to do is keep their

00:47:25.750 --> 00:47:27.429
exegesis as low as possible so what are you going

00:47:27.429 --> 00:47:30.230
to do to do that you press them you pack this

00:47:30.230 --> 00:47:32.610
and whatever you know anyway yeah but um but

00:47:32.610 --> 00:47:34.889
i don't mind it personally italy has been doing

00:47:34.889 --> 00:47:37.489
this for a very long time this game is catanacho

00:47:37.489 --> 00:47:42.050
i like watching managers manage games personally

00:47:42.050 --> 00:47:45.070
yeah if if you know you could go watch the dutch

00:47:45.070 --> 00:47:47.309
league that's all about total football and this

00:47:47.309 --> 00:47:53.500
and that i want to ask you is it the same this

00:47:53.500 --> 00:47:56.159
did me that thinks Napoli are more likely to

00:47:56.159 --> 00:47:58.980
win the league than Milan. I mean now that everyone's

00:47:58.980 --> 00:48:00.900
coming back for Napoli their squad's looking

00:48:00.900 --> 00:48:04.739
really good and they don't really have any areas

00:48:04.739 --> 00:48:09.099
in their game where they are super weak right.

00:48:09.960 --> 00:48:12.159
I think Milan for example have had an issue up

00:48:12.159 --> 00:48:14.980
front and they've been quite wasteful as well

00:48:14.980 --> 00:48:18.860
and not to mention unfit. Napoli just they've

00:48:18.860 --> 00:48:20.539
been playing Hoyland and even if he doesn't score

00:48:20.539 --> 00:48:22.500
he's such a handful for them they can still get

00:48:22.500 --> 00:48:26.780
around having only him and not having Lukaku

00:48:26.780 --> 00:48:30.159
for example but I think their team is better

00:48:30.159 --> 00:48:33.719
than Milan's in actual fact yes and they're also

00:48:33.719 --> 00:48:36.159
the champions we saw Milan beat Napoli earlier

00:48:36.159 --> 00:48:38.340
this season we also saw Napoli beat Milan in

00:48:38.340 --> 00:48:44.400
the Supercoppa Italiana semi -final I think Napoli

00:48:44.400 --> 00:48:48.260
go into that game as favorites. Whose home is

00:48:48.260 --> 00:48:51.420
it at the Maradona? I'm gonna find out. I've

00:48:51.420 --> 00:48:54.599
been nervous to check. Plus, we're about to find

00:48:54.599 --> 00:48:56.920
out. My mind and heart is with Malta right now.

00:48:57.360 --> 00:49:03.360
Exactly. Mine's with Parker. Milan, Napoli, Milan,

00:49:03.360 --> 00:49:06.320
oh god, it's at the Maradona. But Milan, Napoli

00:49:06.320 --> 00:49:07.940
have that weird thing, you know, where Napoli

00:49:07.940 --> 00:49:11.630
always win away and Milan always win home. I

00:49:11.630 --> 00:49:13.889
don't know the Maradona just reminds me of the

00:49:13.889 --> 00:49:17.030
one game where Milan took a 2 -0 lead Calabria

00:49:17.030 --> 00:49:19.389
had scored and Calabria had ran had run to the

00:49:19.389 --> 00:49:21.070
away end this was like a whole thing then the

00:49:21.070 --> 00:49:22.909
second half they scored three uh -huh I remember

00:49:22.909 --> 00:49:27.489
yeah yeah um you can really draw parallels between

00:49:27.489 --> 00:49:30.369
Napoli's game and Inter's game and this could

00:49:30.369 --> 00:49:35.329
be the result of an experienced manager right

00:49:35.329 --> 00:49:39.000
I mean you've got Konte against Kivu You can't

00:49:39.000 --> 00:49:41.159
even compare the experience that they've had

00:49:41.159 --> 00:49:44.980
on the managing teams. So like after the goal,

00:49:45.780 --> 00:49:48.139
the early goal, Napoli controlled tempo while

00:49:48.139 --> 00:49:52.800
Inter lost tempo. Napoli kept possession, it

00:49:52.800 --> 00:49:55.239
was structured and everything they did was deliberate,

00:49:55.559 --> 00:49:58.039
while Inter were passive and they were inconsistent.

00:49:58.699 --> 00:50:01.320
The midfield for Napoli was overloaded and stable.

00:50:02.219 --> 00:50:06.079
Inter's midfield fell apart. Inter suffered constant

00:50:06.079 --> 00:50:09.079
pressure, Napoli conceded zero shots on target.

00:50:11.199 --> 00:50:13.340
That's what you get with an experienced manager

00:50:13.340 --> 00:50:18.010
and an inexperienced manager. Yeah, but perhaps

00:50:18.010 --> 00:50:19.849
potentially leaders on the picture as well Yeah,

00:50:19.849 --> 00:50:22.670
that could also help if Milan or Napoli win the

00:50:22.670 --> 00:50:24.710
Scudetto and we manage to blow this lead I'm

00:50:24.710 --> 00:50:27.269
converting to cricket next season says Daniel

00:50:27.269 --> 00:50:31.190
support Cricket is the second choice Interesting

00:50:31.190 --> 00:50:34.329
sport. What would your second choice sport be

00:50:34.329 --> 00:50:40.570
either f1 or UFC or rugby I guess nice. Yeah

00:50:41.289 --> 00:50:44.269
Anyway, where do they stand, bro? How about you,

00:50:44.289 --> 00:50:47.889
bro? But you don't like other sports? I don't

00:50:47.889 --> 00:50:51.429
mind them. Oh, I like tennis as well. No, you're

00:50:51.429 --> 00:50:53.349
right. I'm not a big fan of other sports. I'm

00:50:53.349 --> 00:50:56.130
all into football. Tennis is up there as well.

00:50:56.289 --> 00:51:00.489
Fair enough, fair enough. So Napoli are in third

00:51:00.489 --> 00:51:05.809
with 39 points while Caliari are... Wait what

00:51:05.809 --> 00:51:08.590
the hell can you refer to your table sofa score

00:51:08.590 --> 00:51:10.869
does this weird glitch where it gives me the

00:51:10.869 --> 00:51:16.489
standings from 1970 what the fuck change it I

00:51:16.489 --> 00:51:20.309
said that Napoli are in third Napoli are in third

00:51:20.309 --> 00:51:22.809
on 62 points, but then I went to look for Caliari

00:51:22.809 --> 00:51:26.550
and I found Foggia Seven points behind inter

00:51:26.550 --> 00:51:30.269
yeah one behind Milan and Caliari are in 15th

00:51:30.269 --> 00:51:32.289
on 30 points. There are only three points ahead

00:51:32.289 --> 00:51:35.699
of lecture. Yeah um also just a note i looked

00:51:35.699 --> 00:51:38.260
up how salvatore esposito is doing it seems like

00:51:38.260 --> 00:51:40.519
he's playing a lot but spezia man are in the

00:51:40.519 --> 00:51:42.420
relegation zone spezia are always like this man

00:51:42.420 --> 00:51:44.820
since they crazy man they got relegated from

00:51:44.820 --> 00:51:47.599
seria they almost got promoted last season the

00:51:47.599 --> 00:51:50.820
day i thought they yes bro they really yes bro

00:51:50.820 --> 00:51:52.639
they were doing great last season then maybe

00:51:52.639 --> 00:51:54.679
it was the season before where they were all

00:51:54.679 --> 00:51:57.920
so flirting with relegation yeah could be let's

00:51:57.920 --> 00:52:02.179
jump to como five pisa nil como undefeated in

00:52:02.179 --> 00:52:05.260
six where they've scored 15 and conceded four

00:52:05.260 --> 00:52:09.940
in this match they missed adai and rodriguez

00:52:10.510 --> 00:52:13.010
Pisa were coming off their win over Cagliari

00:52:13.010 --> 00:52:15.349
but unfortunately they had to play with 10 men

00:52:15.349 --> 00:52:17.750
this game. They had to play with 11 men this

00:52:17.750 --> 00:52:21.469
week. They missed Duras and me and Abishe through

00:52:21.469 --> 00:52:24.250
suspension and Marin and Skoufe through injury.

00:52:24.889 --> 00:52:27.309
Previous encounter was a 3 -0 victory for Komo.

00:52:27.789 --> 00:52:30.469
Komo had Butengo, the back line of Moreno, Kempf,

00:52:30.469 --> 00:52:32.630
Carlos and Van der Breemt and guys this is the

00:52:32.630 --> 00:52:35.590
best defence in the league statistically this

00:52:35.590 --> 00:52:39.000
season. That's wild. Yep. Dacuña and Perrone

00:52:39.000 --> 00:52:42.780
in midfield and behind Duvecas was Rodriguez,

00:52:43.059 --> 00:52:46.679
Paz and Diao. So they didn't miss Rodriguez but

00:52:46.679 --> 00:52:50.500
Rodriguez got injured in this game. 3 -5 -2 formation

00:52:50.500 --> 00:52:53.179
for Pisa with Nicholas in goal, backline of Caracciolo,

00:52:53.400 --> 00:52:56.039
Albio and Karin Estrelli. Leris was on the right,

00:52:56.159 --> 00:52:58.719
Angori on the left with a midfield three of Loyola,

00:52:59.159 --> 00:53:01.900
Hoyholt and Akinsanmiro with Moreo and Tramone

00:53:01.900 --> 00:53:05.219
up front together. So Diao opened the scoring

00:53:05.219 --> 00:53:08.920
in the seventh minute. He capitalized on Moreno's

00:53:08.920 --> 00:53:11.639
defensive slip, shifted onto his left and finished

00:53:11.639 --> 00:53:15.340
past the keeper Nicholas. Duvicas made it too.

00:53:15.659 --> 00:53:19.300
He was assisted by Diao. Baturina then made it

00:53:19.300 --> 00:53:21.119
three. He had come on for Rodriguez and he had

00:53:21.119 --> 00:53:23.820
a smart low finish from the edge of the area.

00:53:24.420 --> 00:53:26.780
Paz and then got his first goal since October

00:53:26.780 --> 00:53:29.800
after a cutback from Moreno. Maxi Perrone joined

00:53:29.800 --> 00:53:33.309
on the party as well in the 81st minute. after

00:53:33.309 --> 00:53:36.349
he tapped in Akun come back a close range finish

00:53:36.349 --> 00:53:39.550
and Pisa had two second half goals ruled out

00:53:39.550 --> 00:53:43.449
but they didn't threaten for a second very clean

00:53:43.449 --> 00:53:48.889
five nil victory for Koomo and aha firstly I

00:53:48.889 --> 00:53:51.329
want to highlight they have the best defense

00:53:51.329 --> 00:53:58.019
in the league they don't need Tomori we have

00:53:58.019 --> 00:54:00.159
a lot of conversations about Fabregas and how

00:54:00.159 --> 00:54:04.280
he always wants to play his game and even if

00:54:04.280 --> 00:54:07.739
it means losing 4 -0 to winter and pressing and

00:54:07.739 --> 00:54:11.820
playing with a high line and we found him a bit

00:54:11.820 --> 00:54:16.539
we thought it showed his inexperience but here

00:54:16.539 --> 00:54:21.280
we are 30 games in only conceded 22 goals that's

00:54:21.280 --> 00:54:24.539
wild it's crazy isn't it man it really is that's

00:54:24.539 --> 00:54:27.139
so impressive sometimes it really shows that

00:54:27.139 --> 00:54:32.440
the it's not about you know, having players protecting

00:54:32.440 --> 00:54:35.139
outside the area. It's about condensing the pitch

00:54:35.139 --> 00:54:37.579
as much as possible. And that's what we see with

00:54:37.579 --> 00:54:39.820
Como. Yes, they play a high line, but when they

00:54:39.820 --> 00:54:41.719
play a high line, they're condensing the pitch

00:54:41.719 --> 00:54:44.179
and they're giving their opposition less space

00:54:44.179 --> 00:54:46.099
to operate. And that's what they do so well,

00:54:46.699 --> 00:54:51.940
man. If there's a loose ball, they're on it.

00:54:53.139 --> 00:54:55.679
So aside from that, and then in this game in

00:54:55.679 --> 00:54:59.309
the first half, bro, 80 % ball possession. 80

00:54:59.309 --> 00:55:01.889
percent ball possession you know so more time

00:55:01.889 --> 00:55:03.630
on the ball and condensing the pitch as much

00:55:03.630 --> 00:55:07.329
as possible it doesn't mean they need you know

00:55:07.329 --> 00:55:10.869
the best defenders or or the best defensive structure

00:55:10.869 --> 00:55:13.630
but the way they operate it's the old cliche

00:55:13.630 --> 00:55:16.010
you know that attack is the best form of defense

00:55:16.010 --> 00:55:20.929
yeah and it's it's clear to see over here I thought

00:55:20.929 --> 00:55:23.309
that the main difference between Cuomo and Pisa

00:55:23.309 --> 00:55:26.610
this game and the main reason that Cuomo swept

00:55:26.610 --> 00:55:29.389
Pisa aside so easily is because they couldn't

00:55:29.389 --> 00:55:34.170
handle Diao man. Diao was levels above anyone

00:55:34.170 --> 00:55:37.730
on this Pisa team. He's so good and he was just

00:55:37.730 --> 00:55:40.309
taking the piss out of them. Diao was fantastic.

00:55:40.449 --> 00:55:44.619
He scored that goal early on, you forget when

00:55:44.619 --> 00:55:47.519
Diao got injured and you can see like Nico Paz

00:55:47.519 --> 00:55:53.440
and Batterina and Dacunha Perrone and all these

00:55:53.440 --> 00:55:56.260
guys playing well you forget how good someone

00:55:56.260 --> 00:56:00.920
like Diaw was. Diaw is arguably when he plays

00:56:00.920 --> 00:56:02.940
the most dangerous player they have on the pitch

00:56:02.940 --> 00:56:06.119
very direct very fast very good finishing something

00:56:06.119 --> 00:56:08.420
about the way he moves as a striker reminds me

00:56:08.420 --> 00:56:13.679
of Thierry Henry stylistically so quick and just

00:56:14.550 --> 00:56:17.630
so he puts the ball into the bottom corner so

00:56:17.630 --> 00:56:19.849
calmly and this was he got his first goal and

00:56:19.849 --> 00:56:23.050
assist of the season but he's only played 444

00:56:23.050 --> 00:56:26.659
minutes this season due to injury and he had

00:56:26.659 --> 00:56:29.699
relapsed his injury because Fabregas rushed him

00:56:29.699 --> 00:56:33.400
etc we all know that story last season he's a

00:56:33.400 --> 00:56:36.539
generational talent i was 20 years old 20 years

00:56:36.539 --> 00:56:41.059
old last season he joined from La Liga halfway

00:56:41.059 --> 00:56:43.139
through in January he played 15 games he scored

00:56:43.139 --> 00:56:45.900
eight goals and got an assist generational talent

00:56:45.900 --> 00:56:48.559
yeah and and people often talk about i mean we

00:56:48.559 --> 00:56:52.159
talk about it as well how Como don't have many

00:56:52.159 --> 00:56:55.719
Italian players. They only have one minute of

00:56:55.719 --> 00:56:56.760
an Italian that has played football this season.

00:56:56.760 --> 00:56:58.980
It's increased now because I think he saw the

00:56:58.980 --> 00:57:00.940
statistic because he brought on Goldenegger this

00:57:00.940 --> 00:57:04.260
game and I'm pretty sure he brought him on 77th

00:57:04.260 --> 00:57:08.000
minute. Okay so he's played 14 minutes. Congrats.

00:57:09.099 --> 00:57:11.639
Still statistically the worst in the league but

00:57:11.639 --> 00:57:13.860
probably statistically where they're the best

00:57:13.860 --> 00:57:19.429
is youth. I mean Diao 20 years old, Paz 21, Rodriguez

00:57:19.429 --> 00:57:24.469
20, Addai 20, Valle 21, Ramon 21, Perrone, Baturina,

00:57:24.730 --> 00:57:28.110
Van der Breemt all under 23. That's crazy bro!

00:57:28.130 --> 00:57:31.570
They've got their veterans like Kakaré 26. You

00:57:31.570 --> 00:57:33.789
know what I mean? Kakaré plays like the mature

00:57:33.789 --> 00:57:36.869
player in the team, he's 26 years old only. Exactly.

00:57:37.230 --> 00:57:40.949
Yeah they're a fun team. And I saw something

00:57:40.949 --> 00:57:44.809
in the group chat this week about how interesting

00:57:44.679 --> 00:57:47.179
it would be if they do well when they do qualify

00:57:47.179 --> 00:57:50.219
for European competition because they there's

00:57:50.219 --> 00:57:52.880
a homegrown quota so they might have to sign

00:57:52.880 --> 00:57:56.320
some seasoned players who are homegrown Italy

00:57:56.320 --> 00:57:58.119
so we'll see how that develops that would be

00:57:58.119 --> 00:58:00.440
interesting to watch they're also gonna have

00:58:00.440 --> 00:58:04.079
the whole I should have put this in my notes

00:58:04.079 --> 00:58:09.659
don't quote me on this but when Aston Villa made

00:58:09.659 --> 00:58:13.460
conference league last season or in 23 -24 if

00:58:13.460 --> 00:58:17.039
I'm not mistaken they ended up striking a deal

00:58:17.039 --> 00:58:22.239
with UEFA where they were paying some kind of

00:58:22.239 --> 00:58:24.940
compensation and installments if I'm not mistaken

00:58:24.940 --> 00:58:27.400
because of the financial fair play regulations

00:58:27.400 --> 00:58:31.679
so it's rumored that Como will be doing something

00:58:31.679 --> 00:58:34.119
similar if Aston Villa manage to pull it off

00:58:34.119 --> 00:58:36.000
so it doesn't necessarily mean that they're gonna

00:58:36.000 --> 00:58:38.969
get a ban But there could be some kind of medium

00:58:38.969 --> 00:58:42.570
that is struck through this installment method.

00:58:42.750 --> 00:58:45.250
I'll try to find it. It could be interesting.

00:58:45.329 --> 00:58:47.989
Yeah. Interesting and dear, it's not actually

00:58:47.989 --> 00:58:51.230
interesting, but it's not incredibly interesting.

00:58:51.449 --> 00:58:53.110
If it were, I would have quoted it perfectly.

00:58:53.409 --> 00:58:55.369
Exactly. You know what is interesting? Sorry,

00:58:55.389 --> 00:58:57.230
I've been trying to wait to the Udinez again,

00:58:57.230 --> 00:58:59.929
but I can't wait anymore, bro. Did you see the

00:58:59.929 --> 00:59:03.969
birthday compilation that Udinez made for Bertala?

00:59:04.730 --> 00:59:07.130
Insane, bro. It's one of the... funniest videos

00:59:07.130 --> 00:59:09.289
I've ever seen they made so for those of you

00:59:09.289 --> 00:59:12.489
haven't seen it it's this video with Daneza posted

00:59:12.489 --> 00:59:15.050
wishing their player Bertola a happy birthday

00:59:15.050 --> 00:59:17.090
now Bertola really isn't bad in my opinion he's

00:59:17.090 --> 00:59:21.849
fine but this compilation was just tragic it's

00:59:21.849 --> 00:59:24.530
almost like a fail compilation like like it's

00:59:24.530 --> 00:59:27.929
it's tackles where tackles which aren't quite

00:59:27.929 --> 00:59:30.969
clean or it gets him sliding in and then it cuts

00:59:30.969 --> 00:59:33.130
because he doesn't actually connect to the tackle

00:59:33.130 --> 00:59:35.469
it's it's ridiculous we posted it on our instagram

00:59:35.469 --> 00:59:38.550
a tackle that he doesn't convincingly win yeah

00:59:38.550 --> 00:59:42.989
yeah yeah exactly exactly he lays man he lays

00:59:42.989 --> 00:59:46.230
check out our socials at seria spotlight comma

00:59:46.230 --> 00:59:49.110
find themselves in fourth on 57 points three

00:59:49.110 --> 00:59:54.980
ahead of uva and roma whilst and pisa find themselves

00:59:54.980 --> 00:59:57.480
in dead last on 18 points. You forgot who you

00:59:57.480 --> 01:00:00.019
were talking about. I know I did, I always do.

01:00:00.679 --> 01:00:02.920
Mela, the next one. Oh, this is a fun one. This

01:00:02.920 --> 01:00:05.659
is another example of a team that really struggled

01:00:05.659 --> 01:00:09.659
to hold on to a lead. We're talking Juve, we're

01:00:09.659 --> 01:00:13.820
talking Sassuolo, we're talking 1 -1. We're talking

01:00:13.820 --> 01:00:18.289
storylines, we're talking Locatelli. former ex

01:00:18.289 --> 01:00:21.070
Sassuolo player. We're talking Barardi. We're

01:00:21.070 --> 01:00:23.429
talking Barardi. Yeah, we're talking so many

01:00:23.429 --> 01:00:26.670
things. So we're talking, leaving every striker

01:00:26.670 --> 01:00:29.110
on the bench to bring on Milik and Vlavic at

01:00:29.110 --> 01:00:31.849
the end to try to get the goal. Okay, let's get

01:00:31.849 --> 01:00:35.110
into it. Juve were missing Holm, even though

01:00:35.110 --> 01:00:38.889
he removed his wisdom tooth. Sassuolo were missing

01:00:38.889 --> 01:00:42.590
Pierangelo, Boloka and Fadera and apparently

01:00:42.590 --> 01:00:46.190
people were not well because there was a an outbreak

01:00:46.190 --> 01:00:50.889
of hooping cough hooping cough hooping cough

01:00:50.889 --> 01:00:53.110
apparently it looks like whooping cough but it's

01:00:53.110 --> 01:00:55.190
pronounced apparently hooping cough because i

01:00:55.190 --> 01:00:58.650
had to look it up um this contagious illness

01:00:58.650 --> 01:01:00.530
that makes you cough and apparently it was going

01:01:00.530 --> 01:01:03.690
around the sasualo um dressing room you looked

01:01:03.690 --> 01:01:05.809
it up can you read it it's a highly contagious

01:01:05.809 --> 01:01:11.630
respiratory infection caused by Bortadella pertussis

01:01:11.630 --> 01:01:14.630
bacteria so they're eating too much mortadella

01:01:14.630 --> 01:01:17.030
as what i'm hearing apparently i would have thought

01:01:17.030 --> 01:01:23.369
that mortadella would make you cough anyway um

01:01:23.369 --> 01:01:29.250
because natan just facepalm so mortadella disease

01:01:29.250 --> 01:01:34.989
mortadella hilarious so you've had perin and

01:01:34.989 --> 01:01:39.099
gul and they played this 4 -1 -4 -1 formation

01:01:39.099 --> 01:01:41.500
with Kalulu, Bremer, Kelly and Cambiaso at the

01:01:41.500 --> 01:01:43.800
back, Locatelli playing in front of them, Konseisao

01:01:43.800 --> 01:01:46.380
on the right, Yildiz on the left with McKennie

01:01:46.380 --> 01:01:49.119
and Turan playing off the shoulders of Boga as

01:01:49.119 --> 01:01:53.199
a false 9. Sassuolo played a 4 -4 -2 formation,

01:01:53.239 --> 01:01:56.239
very compact. They had Muric in goal with Garcia

01:01:56.239 --> 01:01:58.179
as the left back, Valukovic as the right back,

01:01:58.179 --> 01:02:00.940
Mukharemovic and Itsez as the towering centre

01:02:00.940 --> 01:02:03.360
backs, with Bakola on the left, Berardi on the

01:02:03.360 --> 01:02:05.699
right, Wranks and Kone in the middle with Penamonti

01:02:05.699 --> 01:02:12.300
and Volpato playing up front. So... Yildiz scored

01:02:12.300 --> 01:02:14.639
in the 14th minute, he gave Juve the lead after

01:02:14.639 --> 01:02:17.000
a direct vertical counter and this was a really

01:02:17.000 --> 01:02:18.820
nice counter actually. It was Perrin with a long

01:02:18.820 --> 01:02:21.000
ball, Konseisa who did some really good running

01:02:21.000 --> 01:02:23.699
and held up the ball well to lay it off to Yildiz

01:02:23.699 --> 01:02:26.260
who finished it expert. That's my kind of finish.

01:02:26.340 --> 01:02:28.300
I love watching a finish like that man. Play

01:02:28.300 --> 01:02:32.460
hard and low into the bottom corner. Struck so

01:02:32.460 --> 01:02:37.300
cleanly and with so much intent. Pure instinct

01:02:37.300 --> 01:02:40.960
as well. It was a really nice goal. Juve dominated

01:02:40.960 --> 01:02:43.360
the first half but they failed to extend the

01:02:43.360 --> 01:02:45.800
lead and it was actually Pinnamonti who got the

01:02:45.800 --> 01:02:48.659
equalizer in the 52nd minute. Sasuolo's first

01:02:48.659 --> 01:02:51.219
shot on target once again this is a theme for

01:02:51.219 --> 01:02:53.880
Juve they often concede with the first shot on

01:02:53.880 --> 01:02:56.440
target that might be a mentality issue it might

01:02:56.440 --> 01:02:59.400
be a defensively a defensive organization issue

01:02:59.400 --> 01:03:01.980
we will discuss it and then there was some late

01:03:01.980 --> 01:03:04.639
drama because what is Kalischow without the drama

01:03:05.740 --> 01:03:10.639
var penalty for Juve and it was saved by Muric

01:03:10.639 --> 01:03:14.480
Locatelli's very laxidacical nonchalant penalty.

01:03:15.340 --> 01:03:18.340
What are you doing man passing it? There's just

01:03:18.340 --> 01:03:20.639
this trend nowadays of people trying to take

01:03:20.639 --> 01:03:22.820
penalties with their brain instead of with their

01:03:22.820 --> 01:03:27.000
foot bro like you you're not a master of deception

01:03:27.000 --> 01:03:29.940
you know what I mean just put your body over

01:03:29.940 --> 01:03:31.980
that ball and kick it as hard as you can. I'm

01:03:31.980 --> 01:03:33.360
up at old school when it comes to penalties.

01:03:34.360 --> 01:03:36.840
Find the corner and hit it as hard as possible.

01:03:36.920 --> 01:03:39.840
Unless you're someone who is outstanding at it,

01:03:40.019 --> 01:03:42.679
like Ivan Tony. I would never tell Ivan Tony

01:03:42.679 --> 01:03:48.219
to smash it because Ivan Tony takes the... Honestly,

01:03:49.099 --> 01:03:54.139
I'm trying to say something, but he will... fuck

01:03:54.139 --> 01:03:57.039
you with his eyes while taking a penalty exactly

01:03:57.039 --> 01:03:59.599
yes exactly you will need a shower after taking

01:03:59.599 --> 01:04:02.380
after being in goal when tony takes a penalty

01:04:02.380 --> 01:04:04.719
against you just maintains eye contact Nate because

01:04:04.719 --> 01:04:06.559
you're looking at us weirdly yeah he doesn't

01:04:06.559 --> 01:04:08.679
look at the ball he doesn't look at the net he

01:04:08.679 --> 01:04:10.539
just looks straight at the keeper and his eyes

01:04:10.539 --> 01:04:13.360
runs up to the ball places his shot it's it's

01:04:13.360 --> 01:04:16.199
bizarre it's crazy um like that or if you're

01:04:16.199 --> 01:04:18.860
someone like Totti or Pirlo where you're just

01:04:18.860 --> 01:04:21.539
ice cold with incredible technique that's fine

01:04:21.539 --> 01:04:25.119
yeah but you're Locatelli man just hit it hard

01:04:25.119 --> 01:04:27.880
and score and Kunkud fucking did it yeah Kunkud

01:04:27.880 --> 01:04:30.139
just hit it as hard as he could the keeper touched

01:04:30.139 --> 01:04:32.280
it and it still went in that's that's all you

01:04:32.280 --> 01:04:36.380
need to see that's it but this is the i mean

01:04:36.380 --> 01:04:40.840
this sums up Juve it sums up Juve because Juve

01:04:40.840 --> 01:04:45.719
play this is the best football this period that

01:04:45.719 --> 01:04:47.820
Juve are playing this season it's the best football

01:04:47.820 --> 01:04:50.280
they've played all season probably the best football

01:04:50.280 --> 01:04:52.480
they've played in the last two three years let's

01:04:52.480 --> 01:04:54.730
be honest but they don't have someone to put

01:04:54.730 --> 01:04:58.269
the chances away no one no one their best player

01:04:58.269 --> 01:05:00.329
Yildiz even struggles with his finishing albeit

01:05:00.329 --> 01:05:04.150
a very good goal this week um but you know they're

01:05:04.150 --> 01:05:07.030
bringing on Milik who hasn't played in ages and

01:05:07.030 --> 01:05:08.909
they're bringing on Vlavic who's been out for

01:05:08.909 --> 01:05:11.769
so long and and we all know how much he's struggled

01:05:11.769 --> 01:05:15.710
Openda an unused substitute where's David he

01:05:15.710 --> 01:05:19.010
was injured no David didn't um he didn't come

01:05:19.010 --> 01:05:20.889
on at all he was on the bench if i'm not mistaken

01:05:20.889 --> 01:05:24.880
man he was he was totally available yeah unused

01:05:24.880 --> 01:05:26.719
substitute as well I'm telling you it's bizarre

01:05:26.719 --> 01:05:28.920
bro he threw on Vlav which had been out for four

01:05:28.920 --> 01:05:32.320
months and Milik who had been out for 700 days

01:05:32.320 --> 01:05:34.960
so there is an argument you can make that perhaps

01:05:34.960 --> 01:05:36.900
Palletti could have brought on someone who's

01:05:36.900 --> 01:05:39.900
a bit more match sharp and match ready okay okay

01:05:39.900 --> 01:05:42.360
fair enough but I think he panicked he did panic

01:05:42.360 --> 01:05:45.679
because things were going really well in fact

01:05:45.679 --> 01:05:49.559
his system was working perfectly until it didn't

01:05:49.559 --> 01:05:53.139
because he He had this this false 9 thing going

01:05:53.139 --> 01:05:54.960
on and they were creating a lot, but they weren't

01:05:54.960 --> 01:05:58.820
being they weren't being critical clinical, sorry

01:05:58.820 --> 01:06:02.039
and In fact, that's the that's the main problem

01:06:02.039 --> 01:06:04.440
with a false 9 when you play a false 9 you you

01:06:04.440 --> 01:06:06.119
lack that presence in the box So the players

01:06:06.119 --> 01:06:08.739
that you are playing in that system need to be

01:06:08.739 --> 01:06:11.119
elite finishers Yeah, and in fact yield is for

01:06:11.119 --> 01:06:15.679
all the good things. He is I Wouldn't even call

01:06:15.679 --> 01:06:19.110
him a good finisher at this stage like i i love

01:06:19.110 --> 01:06:21.170
Yildiz and he's fantastic to watch he's so much

01:06:21.170 --> 01:06:23.550
fun to watch but he's quite wasteful at this

01:06:23.550 --> 01:06:27.409
point in his career Boga as well Boga tested

01:06:27.409 --> 01:06:30.829
Muric on on on quite a few occasions there was

01:06:30.829 --> 01:06:32.369
one particularly when Muric pulled off a really

01:06:32.369 --> 01:06:35.750
good save but again they are not elite finishers

01:06:35.750 --> 01:06:38.909
and and then when you waste a lot of chances

01:06:38.909 --> 01:06:42.590
suddenly you end up against a team that's defending

01:06:42.590 --> 01:06:45.809
with everyone in the box with players like Muharremovic

01:06:45.809 --> 01:06:48.750
and it says who are just units, towering units

01:06:49.940 --> 01:06:53.719
and they can't assert themselves in the box and

01:06:53.719 --> 01:06:55.579
that's when Spalletti looked at the bench he

01:06:55.579 --> 01:06:58.460
saw David and Openda who if he brings them on

01:06:58.460 --> 01:07:01.019
will look quite similar to what's already happening

01:07:01.019 --> 01:07:03.440
there with players getting out -muscled in the

01:07:03.440 --> 01:07:06.300
box and he decided to go for something a little

01:07:06.300 --> 01:07:09.300
bit different he went for the twin towers Milik

01:07:09.300 --> 01:07:14.539
and Vlaović and it almost worked because Milik

01:07:14.539 --> 01:07:17.440
at the end a cross came in Milik headed it forced

01:07:17.440 --> 01:07:20.909
a save from Muric and Vlaovi just couldn't stretch

01:07:20.909 --> 01:07:23.869
to get the rebound it almost worked but if you're

01:07:23.869 --> 01:07:26.409
given a teaspoon to eat spaghetti you're gonna

01:07:26.409 --> 01:07:28.289
have to make due the teaspoon you know what I

01:07:28.289 --> 01:07:31.849
mean? Komoli has come in thinking that you know

01:07:31.849 --> 01:07:34.590
Junto Lee was the problem or whatever they bring

01:07:34.590 --> 01:07:38.289
on Komoli and the shit show that he did in the

01:07:38.289 --> 01:07:41.789
summer is just a disaster bro confirms Tudor

01:07:41.789 --> 01:07:47.579
as coach the number one fuck up um and then they

01:07:47.579 --> 01:07:51.239
spent um he had the signing of jonathan david

01:07:51.239 --> 01:07:57.679
um openda joao mario you know you know what the

01:07:57.679 --> 01:08:01.239
buy option on openda is 40 fucking million something

01:08:01.239 --> 01:08:05.699
like 45 million jesus christ man like uva haven't

01:08:05.699 --> 01:08:10.110
been well run in so long bro like you could point

01:08:10.110 --> 01:08:12.289
fingers at ah because Spalletti brought these

01:08:12.289 --> 01:08:16.310
guys on sort of brought those guys on um Tudor

01:08:16.310 --> 01:08:18.569
wasn't wasn't ready look at what he's doing with

01:08:18.569 --> 01:08:21.130
spurs or whatever Tudor at this point is just

01:08:21.130 --> 01:08:26.029
collecting like what shitty run clubs he could

01:08:26.029 --> 01:08:29.729
go work at yeah you know we have a really good

01:08:29.729 --> 01:08:34.710
episode with Adam an expert on all things Juventus

01:08:34.710 --> 01:08:36.409
if you want to go check that out a few episodes

01:08:36.409 --> 01:08:38.670
ago guys if you want to hear all about Juve's

01:08:38.670 --> 01:08:42.989
management and all the mishandling and etc etc

01:08:42.989 --> 01:08:46.989
yes bro I liked the way Sasuolo approached this

01:08:46.989 --> 01:08:50.960
game 4 -4 -2 huh? different two old school i

01:08:50.960 --> 01:08:53.079
like it and i liked what they did as well it

01:08:53.079 --> 01:08:56.119
wasn't two target men they played vol pato up

01:08:56.119 --> 01:08:57.859
front and him and berardi caused some really

01:08:57.859 --> 01:09:01.680
nice um well they they played some nice combinations

01:09:01.680 --> 01:09:03.819
out wide and caused many problems i like vol

01:09:03.819 --> 01:09:07.220
pato man i want to see more of him he's australian

01:09:07.220 --> 01:09:11.319
isn't he yeah australia on the world cup australia

01:09:11.319 --> 01:09:15.460
would probably some qualifying stuff no probably

01:09:17.109 --> 01:09:21.529
This is the I know Austria's women are fire the

01:09:21.529 --> 01:09:27.310
football team I'll find out. Yeah. Yeah. Okay.

01:09:27.810 --> 01:09:29.289
Yes, they officially qualified for the World

01:09:29.289 --> 01:09:31.890
Cup in North America the soccer rules bitch Yeah,

01:09:32.229 --> 01:09:34.689
you know man when Locatelli missed that penalty

01:09:34.689 --> 01:09:38.869
I've always had a soft spot for Locatelli because

01:09:38.869 --> 01:09:41.729
we saw him develop into a we saw him become a

01:09:41.729 --> 01:09:45.170
man essentially we saw him score against Sasuolo

01:09:45.170 --> 01:09:48.510
and it meant so much to him when he was at Milan

01:09:48.510 --> 01:09:51.430
and he cried and then he ran then a week later

01:09:51.430 --> 01:09:54.930
he scored against Juventus and his confidence

01:09:54.930 --> 01:09:57.630
and his posture completely changed his body language

01:09:57.630 --> 01:09:59.810
and everything he did a knee slide when he scored

01:09:59.810 --> 01:10:01.390
against Buffon you know what I mean like and

01:10:01.390 --> 01:10:03.510
you're crying a week ago when you score against

01:10:03.510 --> 01:10:06.029
Oswala now you're knee sliding scoring against

01:10:06.029 --> 01:10:08.069
against Buffon the greatest goalkeeper of all

01:10:08.069 --> 01:10:13.170
time and I think he still suffers a little bit

01:10:13.170 --> 01:10:19.779
with confidence or with like imposter syndrome

01:10:19.779 --> 01:10:22.319
not necessarily not not to that extent i'm saying

01:10:22.319 --> 01:10:25.260
when he missed his penalty he wasn't um he lost

01:10:25.260 --> 01:10:27.979
all his composure you look at look at early after

01:10:27.979 --> 01:10:31.960
that penalty miss he was really bad for for pretty

01:10:31.960 --> 01:10:33.939
much the rest of the game uh -huh uh -huh he

01:10:33.939 --> 01:10:36.300
was he was in his head and i guess it's normal

01:10:36.560 --> 01:10:40.979
it is normal it also separates what makes a good

01:10:40.979 --> 01:10:43.619
player from a great player right the great ones

01:10:43.619 --> 01:10:45.920
are the cold -hearted motherfuckers that would

01:10:45.920 --> 01:10:48.880
miss a penalty and then score five minutes later

01:10:48.880 --> 01:10:51.640
yeah um or at least have a decent performance

01:10:51.640 --> 01:10:54.100
uh no this just look i tell you it's such a good

01:10:54.100 --> 01:10:58.100
season such a good season yeah but it's moments

01:10:58.100 --> 01:11:02.850
like that that can like they would be they'd

01:11:02.850 --> 01:11:05.329
be in a much better position for top four that's

01:11:05.329 --> 01:11:10.890
how important that is yeah yeah absolutely the

01:11:10.890 --> 01:11:14.869
main issue with the goal that you've conceded

01:11:14.869 --> 01:11:18.210
on two separate occasions was Bremer and Bremer

01:11:18.210 --> 01:11:21.489
hasn't quite looked like himself it's true and

01:11:21.489 --> 01:11:25.149
it's it's just a situation where I feel like

01:11:25.149 --> 01:11:28.710
whenever I watch the Bremer before he was on

01:11:28.710 --> 01:11:32.560
his man always always like like his marking was

01:11:32.560 --> 01:11:34.420
so aggressive and and he wouldn't give anyone

01:11:34.420 --> 01:11:39.880
a an inch you know and in this in this game Pinamonti

01:11:39.880 --> 01:11:42.720
received the ball with his back towards Bremer

01:11:42.720 --> 01:11:46.100
Bremer let him turn on the pass the cross came

01:11:46.100 --> 01:11:49.239
in and Bremer let Pinamonti run across from him

01:11:49.239 --> 01:11:53.350
and get to the ball before him not what you'd

01:11:53.350 --> 01:11:56.250
expect from Bremer. No and I'm just looking at

01:11:56.250 --> 01:11:58.890
the statistics but it's quite unfair because

01:11:58.890 --> 01:12:01.789
to be completely honest Juve didn't have too

01:12:01.789 --> 01:12:06.029
much defending to do in the box. This is the

01:12:06.029 --> 01:12:09.359
high -risk nature of playing you know but no

01:12:09.359 --> 01:12:12.479
ground duels one one aerial duel one out of three

01:12:12.479 --> 01:12:14.939
okay he had five recoveries three clearances

01:12:14.939 --> 01:12:18.119
no blocked shots four defensive contributions

01:12:18.119 --> 01:12:21.979
no tackles one yeah luca says bremer has never

01:12:21.979 --> 01:12:24.380
been the same since the acl injury yes of course

01:12:24.380 --> 01:12:27.640
i mean i think he's in his head maybe that was

01:12:27.640 --> 01:12:31.199
two devastating injuries no for him yeah yeah

01:12:31.199 --> 01:12:35.340
but anyway shame yeah we wish him well yep But

01:12:35.340 --> 01:12:38.020
this this whole this is a bit of a fiasco way

01:12:38.020 --> 01:12:42.840
this whole open Dundee thing now what are they

01:12:42.840 --> 01:12:44.359
gonna do they're probably gonna change them again

01:12:44.359 --> 01:12:48.020
next summer yeah whatever yeah yeah but I think

01:12:48.020 --> 01:12:51.939
that is enough on Juve against Sasuolo it was

01:12:51.939 --> 01:12:55.399
a bit not unfair unlucky for for Juve not to

01:12:55.399 --> 01:12:58.279
get this over the line and do you think bro that

01:12:58.279 --> 01:13:01.770
it's Do you think it's over for Juve in Champions

01:13:01.770 --> 01:13:04.989
League? No, right? Eight games to go, three point

01:13:04.989 --> 01:13:09.470
difference with Como aside who... This is the

01:13:09.470 --> 01:13:11.970
first time they're in this situation. Spalletti's

01:13:11.970 --> 01:13:14.649
been here before. It's actually quite likely

01:13:14.649 --> 01:13:17.350
that Juve will find some consistency and Como

01:13:17.350 --> 01:13:19.350
will have their slip -ups. Yes. You know what

01:13:19.350 --> 01:13:21.409
I think? I think Como are gonna do it. Yeah.

01:13:22.569 --> 01:13:25.800
It's... It's naive and foolish to say it's over

01:13:25.800 --> 01:13:27.920
before it's actually over In fact, there's a

01:13:27.920 --> 01:13:30.020
saying a very popular one that we teach children.

01:13:30.060 --> 01:13:33.359
Don't count your chickens before they hatch That's

01:13:33.359 --> 01:13:35.920
it. Okay. It ain't over until the fat lady sings

01:13:35.920 --> 01:13:38.640
exactly or in this case It ain't over until the

01:13:38.640 --> 01:13:42.979
old lady doesn't sing and the old lady Didn't

01:13:42.979 --> 01:13:47.119
sing this episode Yeah, where do they stand Mila?

01:13:47.199 --> 01:13:49.399
Yes. That's what I was checking. You have it

01:13:49.399 --> 01:13:54.369
there I do have it here, Juve are in 5th on 54

01:13:54.369 --> 01:13:57.829
points, just 3 behind Como and 4th, while Sassuolo

01:13:57.829 --> 01:14:01.010
are in 10th on 39 points, level with Odinese.

01:14:01.390 --> 01:14:05.890
We are now going to jump to Roma 1 -0, so in

01:14:05.890 --> 01:14:09.569
all competitions, Roma are winless in 5, where

01:14:09.569 --> 01:14:13.850
they have 3 losses. They are fresh out of their

01:14:13.850 --> 01:14:17.430
6 -pointer loss to Como, and elimination from

01:14:17.430 --> 01:14:19.640
the Europa League. Coming into this match, right?

01:14:19.800 --> 01:14:23.640
Yes, coming into this match. Of course, they

01:14:23.640 --> 01:14:26.779
lost 4 -3 to Bologna midweek. It was a crazy

01:14:26.779 --> 01:14:30.420
game after 120 minutes. They headed into this

01:14:30.420 --> 01:14:32.920
match also without Wesley, without Kone, without

01:14:32.920 --> 01:14:35.720
Celik, without Dybala and Ferguson and Dovbek,

01:14:36.039 --> 01:14:38.930
who are essentially the... carbon copies of David

01:14:38.930 --> 01:14:43.390
and Openda. Lecce are going through a tough spell

01:14:43.390 --> 01:14:45.829
of games right now having recently played Inter,

01:14:45.949 --> 01:14:49.029
Como, Napoli, Roma and now they face Atalanta,

01:14:49.069 --> 01:14:50.970
Bologna and Fiorentina. Somewhere in the mix

01:14:50.970 --> 01:14:53.750
they had a victory over Cremonese. Here they

01:14:53.750 --> 01:14:56.409
missed Camarda, Gaspar, Cullibaly and Sotil.

01:14:56.729 --> 01:14:58.670
The previous encounter was a 2 -0 victory for

01:14:58.670 --> 01:15:01.789
Roma. Think about those losses for Lecce, massive

01:15:01.789 --> 01:15:04.729
massive massive losses there. their leading center

01:15:04.729 --> 01:15:07.489
back in Gaspar. Koulibaly is a very important

01:15:07.489 --> 01:15:10.010
player who has been through it all and has actually

01:15:10.010 --> 01:15:12.270
saved them before with his goal against Lazio

01:15:12.270 --> 01:15:14.250
last season. Sotil was brought on to connect

01:15:14.250 --> 01:15:18.010
the defense to the attack and Kamarda was meant

01:15:18.010 --> 01:15:19.930
to be in rotation with Stulish. And look what

01:15:19.930 --> 01:15:23.029
happened during the game. Banda went off injured

01:15:23.029 --> 01:15:27.090
so it was a tough game for Lecce so the only

01:15:27.090 --> 01:15:32.579
goal The only goal of the match game in the 57th

01:15:32.579 --> 01:15:35.500
minute through Robinho Vaz, the 19 -year -old

01:15:35.500 --> 01:15:38.520
French forward. He was subbed in just like six

01:15:38.520 --> 01:15:41.539
minutes earlier. He rose at the back post to

01:15:41.539 --> 01:15:44.739
head in Hermosa's cross. His first goal in a

01:15:44.739 --> 01:15:47.300
Roma jersey and decisive for the one to win.

01:15:47.579 --> 01:15:50.880
I'm really glad he scored because when he played

01:15:50.880 --> 01:15:53.399
midweek against Bologna, I was looking at him

01:15:53.399 --> 01:15:56.619
going, Robinho, what the hell are you doing?

01:16:10.380 --> 01:16:14.460
I could see you cooking something, you were barely

01:16:14.460 --> 01:16:16.699
speaking, you were already laughing. I knew it

01:16:16.699 --> 01:16:22.140
was time to do it. He was so poor against Bologna,

01:16:22.180 --> 01:16:24.399
really poor against Bologna. He was really bad.

01:16:25.199 --> 01:16:30.279
What the hell are you doing? Hermoso saved the

01:16:30.279 --> 01:16:32.579
ball off the line in the last minute from Pierotti.

01:16:32.779 --> 01:16:35.423
He did get the man of the match and I thought...

01:16:35.420 --> 01:16:38.140
look i've watched him also before but i've never

01:16:38.140 --> 01:16:42.539
watched him so involved in a game he was so good

01:16:42.539 --> 01:16:45.239
over here best performance of the season for

01:16:45.239 --> 01:16:47.899
sure he got an assist he had six defensive actions

01:16:47.899 --> 01:16:50.789
he had the goal line clearance game changer both

01:16:50.789 --> 01:16:53.270
attack and defense and i was having a look at

01:16:53.270 --> 01:16:55.069
his career he was without a club for a while

01:16:55.069 --> 01:16:57.569
man before this move he came up through the ranks

01:16:57.569 --> 01:17:00.609
i believe at real and then he had gone to atleti

01:17:00.609 --> 01:17:02.409
and then before he moved to rome i believe he

01:17:02.409 --> 01:17:05.149
was clubless yeah i'm not mistaken i had well

01:17:05.149 --> 01:17:08.289
that's what transfer market said yeah 30 years

01:17:08.289 --> 01:17:11.710
old in fact he gives you the Impression that

01:17:11.710 --> 01:17:15.229
he's older, eh? I remember him quite clearly

01:17:15.229 --> 01:17:17.350
at Atletico. He had a few seasons there. Three

01:17:17.350 --> 01:17:19.350
seasons, I believe. This is the best game I've

01:17:19.350 --> 01:17:21.989
seen him play. Totally, totally. For Roma. And

01:17:21.989 --> 01:17:26.430
in a game where... So this was a non -negotiable

01:17:26.430 --> 01:17:30.090
victory for Roma. Because they just got knocked

01:17:30.090 --> 01:17:33.470
out of the Europa League and it was like... It's

01:17:33.470 --> 01:17:35.670
all they had left to... Not all they had left

01:17:35.670 --> 01:17:38.579
to play for, but... Champions League is looking

01:17:38.579 --> 01:17:41.180
unlikely because they've got Juve and Como ahead

01:17:41.180 --> 01:17:43.260
of them and they need to bank on both of them

01:17:43.260 --> 01:17:45.600
slipping up in order for them to get there. Now,

01:17:45.859 --> 01:17:49.159
can they go on a streak of 1 -0 victories? Yes.

01:17:49.380 --> 01:17:52.699
It's Gasparini, Roma who love a 1 -0 victory,

01:17:52.819 --> 01:17:57.279
but it's unlikely, let's be honest. So they had

01:17:57.279 --> 01:18:00.500
to, they had to win this game. They had a loss

01:18:00.500 --> 01:18:05.020
over 120 minutes midweek. Demoralized. So many

01:18:05.020 --> 01:18:09.010
absentees in this game. but they needed a victory

01:18:09.010 --> 01:18:10.789
they needed to put that all behind them and they

01:18:10.789 --> 01:18:13.829
needed to beat a Lecce who have been on quite

01:18:13.829 --> 01:18:16.350
good form have like three wins in their last

01:18:16.350 --> 01:18:20.649
10 games and they're fighting for survival exactly

01:18:20.649 --> 01:18:24.670
yes they have to beat a team that will they won't

01:18:24.670 --> 01:18:27.649
go down without a fight until the very end and

01:18:27.649 --> 01:18:30.289
and that's what we we saw in fact i thought that

01:18:30.289 --> 01:18:32.819
Lecce looked threatening from set pieces totally

01:18:32.819 --> 01:18:35.180
and and they could have they could have definitely

01:18:35.180 --> 01:18:37.760
got the ball over the line was that Pierotti

01:18:37.760 --> 01:18:40.880
man with that header it was how powerful that

01:18:40.880 --> 01:18:42.239
yeah that header had so much power behind it

01:18:42.239 --> 01:18:45.039
that's the one Hermoso clear exactly exactly

01:18:45.039 --> 01:18:47.479
yeah that was wild but they were really threatening

01:18:47.479 --> 01:18:50.460
Lecce but but Roma did did well to maintain that

01:18:50.460 --> 01:18:52.979
one little victory of course Robin Yovaz got

01:18:52.979 --> 01:18:57.220
his got his goal um Pellegrini created for these

01:18:57.220 --> 01:19:00.170
are the mixed performances now Pellegrini is

01:19:00.170 --> 01:19:03.649
looking better. Four chances created. Three out

01:19:03.649 --> 01:19:08.329
of six crosses accurate but inconsistent passing

01:19:08.329 --> 01:19:13.170
in the middle of the pitch. He tries to progress

01:19:13.170 --> 01:19:19.000
the ball. But so many misplaced passes, but he

01:19:19.000 --> 01:19:21.479
is that player that tries to play the ball forward

01:19:21.479 --> 01:19:25.500
and find Mardin, you know? Yes, and same as Pizzilli.

01:19:26.060 --> 01:19:29.579
Pizzilli had an... sorry, but he tried too much

01:19:29.579 --> 01:19:33.100
to always do something inventive. But I'm sure

01:19:33.100 --> 01:19:36.399
that's an instruction. It has to be. You know,

01:19:36.520 --> 01:19:41.399
you have such a rigid system. rigid system okay

01:19:41.399 --> 01:19:44.920
um with so many um you have mancini and dichaher

01:19:44.920 --> 01:19:48.560
mozo protected by elina wi and cristante your

01:19:48.560 --> 01:19:51.420
wing backs are wrench and simicas pizzelli and

01:19:51.420 --> 01:19:56.119
pellegrini are encouraged to um to literally

01:19:56.119 --> 01:19:58.380
be as expressive as they possibly can to feed

01:19:58.380 --> 01:20:01.500
malen yeah right exactly that's that's the the

01:20:01.500 --> 01:20:06.850
role here totally agreed um a shout out sorry

01:20:06.850 --> 01:20:11.109
making my debut watching live tonight m k h i

01:20:11.109 --> 01:20:15.510
4 g v is that is that mike mike is that you a

01:20:15.510 --> 01:20:17.569
matias is that you know that's matias for sure

01:20:17.569 --> 01:20:24.069
that's matias i can't pronounce it yeah but yeah

01:20:24.069 --> 01:20:29.460
hi um not much more to add on rome i think I

01:20:29.460 --> 01:20:31.199
don't want to say their season is over because

01:20:31.199 --> 01:20:33.579
there's still the fight for top four of course

01:20:33.579 --> 01:20:38.199
and you know If they remain consistent, it's

01:20:38.199 --> 01:20:40.659
not in their hands, but the best that they can

01:20:40.659 --> 01:20:42.800
do is remain consistent Can you pull up the remaining

01:20:42.800 --> 01:20:45.060
fixtures? Please? Let's just have a look at of

01:20:45.060 --> 01:20:47.279
course the fix their remaining fixtures fixtures

01:20:47.279 --> 01:20:48.979
are actually easier than you guys if I'm not

01:20:48.979 --> 01:20:54.399
mistaken, so they've got Inter Pisa Atalanta,

01:20:54.619 --> 01:20:57.619
Bologna, Fiorentina, Parma, Lazio and Hellas

01:20:57.619 --> 01:21:04.149
I mean No easy fixtures whatsoever. I mean you

01:21:04.149 --> 01:21:08.829
look at Juve as well. Juve have Genoa, Atalanta,

01:21:08.909 --> 01:21:11.890
Bologna, Milan, Hellas, Lecce, Fiorentina and

01:21:11.890 --> 01:21:15.069
Torino. It is a bit easier because when you have

01:21:15.069 --> 01:21:18.729
someone like Torino on there, those mid -table...

01:21:18.729 --> 01:21:22.170
Torino and Genoa can't go up, can't go down.

01:21:22.609 --> 01:21:26.189
Exactly. Is there Parma as well? and they do

01:21:26.189 --> 01:21:28.170
not of course parma are getting destroyed by

01:21:28.170 --> 01:21:31.250
everyone at the moment um so i had a point to

01:21:31.250 --> 01:21:34.489
make if only if only they had brought in malin

01:21:34.489 --> 01:21:37.029
in the in the summer man i think that would have

01:21:37.029 --> 01:21:39.649
changed the game for them but hopefully they

01:21:39.649 --> 01:21:42.899
can go into next season with the with the right

01:21:42.899 --> 01:21:45.880
players i think they need a few midfielders um

01:21:45.880 --> 01:21:48.020
but i had this was a couple of wing one wing

01:21:48.020 --> 01:21:50.819
back on opposite west east side yeah but i think

01:21:50.819 --> 01:21:53.220
this was uh this was a this was what they needed

01:21:53.220 --> 01:21:55.079
you know they just got knocked out of the Europa

01:21:55.079 --> 01:21:57.600
League they need the victory they got it they

01:21:57.600 --> 01:22:01.500
maintain sixth place on 54 points Atalanta are

01:22:01.500 --> 01:22:04.840
four points behind them Como and Juve sorry they're

01:22:04.840 --> 01:22:06.939
level on points with Juve and Como are three

01:22:06.939 --> 01:22:10.479
points um ahead of them it's possible it's within

01:22:10.699 --> 01:22:14.039
touching distance just two slip -ups is a lot

01:22:14.039 --> 01:22:16.600
to ask for at the stage of the season. Lecce,

01:22:16.739 --> 01:22:18.779
because Cremonaese won their game, are back in

01:22:18.779 --> 01:22:22.300
the relegation zone on 27 points in 18th place

01:22:22.300 --> 01:22:26.140
but level on points with Cremonaese. Yeah, bingo

01:22:26.140 --> 01:22:33.920
bro. So Atalanta played Hellas Verona and they

01:22:33.920 --> 01:22:37.460
beat them 1 -0 thanks to a deflected strike from

01:22:37.460 --> 01:22:40.199
Zappa Costa. you know, death taxes and Zappa

01:22:40.199 --> 01:22:44.159
Kosta scoring every Serie A season. Hellas were

01:22:44.159 --> 01:22:48.279
actually missing Serdar, Bella Kocap and brother

01:22:48.279 --> 01:22:50.920
Ichwa El Atalanta were missing Skamakka. Now

01:22:50.920 --> 01:22:53.319
Hellas were missing Bella Kocap, which reminded

01:22:53.319 --> 01:22:58.039
me that I was working on a poster of Bella Kocap.

01:22:58.239 --> 01:23:01.960
Yes. Yes. And I don't know. What do you think?

01:23:03.000 --> 01:23:08.060
I love it, bro. I love it. See if it shows. Bella

01:23:08.060 --> 01:23:16.840
ketchup as a ketchup bottle. Amazing. Amazing.

01:23:17.460 --> 01:23:19.199
They become a patron and will send you a free

01:23:19.199 --> 01:23:22.760
copy. Yes, this was a gift for the Hellas Verona

01:23:22.760 --> 01:23:26.520
patrons that have joined. All three of them,

01:23:26.539 --> 01:23:29.609
three legends. i'll try finish it and send it

01:23:29.609 --> 01:23:31.909
to them yes this is my my little stupid gift

01:23:31.909 --> 01:23:35.630
to you but lacquer shop as a ketchup bottle brilliant

01:23:35.630 --> 01:23:40.069
bro no it's it could be hinds actually i haven't

01:23:40.069 --> 01:23:42.350
done the label yet so we'll have a look So I

01:23:42.350 --> 01:23:44.329
just want to let you know that in 20 minutes

01:23:44.329 --> 01:23:46.949
I have to leave. Okay, no problem at all. So

01:23:46.949 --> 01:23:50.069
we have Karnesecki in goal for Atalanta under

01:23:50.069 --> 01:23:53.270
3 -4 -2 -1 formation. Skalvini, Gymsity and Kolasinac

01:23:53.270 --> 01:23:55.449
at the back with Zappa Kosta on the right, Bernas

01:23:55.449 --> 01:23:57.970
Skvani on the left, Darun and Ederson playing

01:23:57.970 --> 01:24:00.029
as the double pivot, Deketelare and Zalefsky

01:24:00.029 --> 01:24:03.989
playing off the shoulders of Kristovic. Deketelare

01:24:03.989 --> 01:24:08.180
is back. yeah it's been a while and he is so

01:24:08.180 --> 01:24:11.840
important such a good player um three five two

01:24:11.840 --> 01:24:14.899
also for helas verona with montepo on goal valenti

01:24:14.899 --> 01:24:18.199
edmundson and nelson were at the back a wild

01:24:18.199 --> 01:24:20.340
looking edmundson i don't know if you've seen

01:24:20.340 --> 01:24:23.619
him he's got braids he looks crazy and freza

01:24:23.619 --> 01:24:25.880
was on the left with belgali on the right haroui

01:24:25.880 --> 01:24:29.220
galliardini and akpa akpro in the middle with

01:24:29.220 --> 01:24:32.699
bonnie and gift orban starting together up front

01:24:34.979 --> 01:24:39.119
So it was quite a tight and low margin game that

01:24:39.119 --> 01:24:42.960
Atalanta managed to edge thanks to As I mentioned

01:24:42.960 --> 01:24:45.300
earlier Zappa Costa's deflected strike in the

01:24:45.300 --> 01:24:50.720
37th minute It was possession wise the game was

01:24:50.720 --> 01:24:55.260
quite Balanced, I mean we're talking 60 -40 to

01:24:55.260 --> 01:24:58.340
Atalanta with 12 shots to 12 and shots on target

01:24:58.340 --> 01:25:03.890
3 to 3 There was an early warning sign for Atalanta

01:25:03.890 --> 01:25:07.850
when Montepo denied Christovic's header and then

01:25:07.850 --> 01:25:09.869
eventually of course Zappa Kosta scored his long

01:25:09.869 --> 01:25:11.449
range strike through a lot of traffic. I think

01:25:11.449 --> 01:25:13.069
it took more than one deflection in fact and

01:25:13.069 --> 01:25:15.010
I think that the keeper touched it as well so

01:25:15.010 --> 01:25:17.250
I think there were about three deflections but

01:25:17.250 --> 01:25:20.489
still a good goal regardless. There was a huge

01:25:20.489 --> 01:25:24.050
save, huge save that I think would have demoralized

01:25:24.050 --> 01:25:26.689
Hellas Verona and fueled Atalanta with hope.

01:25:28.379 --> 01:25:31.619
Karinasekki to stop Bowie from six yards super

01:25:31.619 --> 01:25:35.020
acrobatic save it was it was lovely what a save

01:25:35.020 --> 01:25:38.340
that was where's Norbert to tell us we're glazing

01:25:38.340 --> 01:25:40.380
Karinasekki too much like these guys talk about

01:25:40.380 --> 01:25:44.880
Karinasekki too much Karinasekki um gift Orban

01:25:44.880 --> 01:25:48.020
had a very good opportunity from 12 yards and

01:25:48.020 --> 01:25:51.840
the 77th minute and he skied it you have to do

01:25:51.840 --> 01:25:53.359
better than that yeah when you when you're given

01:25:53.359 --> 01:25:59.079
a gift exactly Christovic hit the crossbar after

01:25:59.079 --> 01:26:03.399
a Decadellare interception and that would be

01:26:03.399 --> 01:26:08.739
it. 1 -0 for Atalanta, a very professional job

01:26:08.739 --> 01:26:11.800
coming off the very embarrassing elimination

01:26:11.800 --> 01:26:16.500
against Bayern Munich. Very similar talking points

01:26:16.500 --> 01:26:20.140
that I have for the ones that I had for Roma.

01:26:20.340 --> 01:26:25.239
I mean they're still in the... in the Coppa Italia

01:26:25.239 --> 01:26:27.500
which is something that they can potentially

01:26:27.500 --> 01:26:31.640
aim to achieve this season and I believe they're

01:26:31.640 --> 01:26:34.579
nil -nil to Lazio and they have the second leg

01:26:34.579 --> 01:26:40.479
remaining. I'm quite certain. I mean there's

01:26:40.479 --> 01:26:42.500
still the chance for them to get European football

01:26:42.500 --> 01:26:44.680
we'll wait to see what happens in the Coppa Italia

01:26:44.680 --> 01:26:47.220
because seventh place can potentially get them

01:26:47.899 --> 01:26:50.739
conference league 2 -2 2 -2 they are when on

01:26:50.739 --> 01:26:55.760
aggregate yes yes of course um there were let

01:26:55.760 --> 01:27:00.560
me tell you exactly yes Dela Baschiru and Dia

01:27:00.560 --> 01:27:04.100
for Lazio and Pasalic and Musa for Atalanta I

01:27:04.100 --> 01:27:08.680
know very similar talking points I think they

01:27:08.680 --> 01:27:10.199
they they're also getting a few players back

01:27:10.199 --> 01:27:12.779
from injury it's good to see cdk back as well

01:27:12.779 --> 01:27:16.579
but this is the repair stage of the season for

01:27:16.579 --> 01:27:19.479
atalanta i think palladino is clearly the man

01:27:19.479 --> 01:27:21.600
for the job i don't know how long his contract

01:27:21.600 --> 01:27:24.060
is but they need to ensure that he stays on for

01:27:24.060 --> 01:27:26.399
as long as possible i think for the atalanta

01:27:26.399 --> 01:27:29.840
project he's a perfect fit because he's a versatile

01:27:29.840 --> 01:27:32.319
manager who plays a very balanced style of football

01:27:32.319 --> 01:27:34.859
and can get the best out of his players absolutely

01:27:34.859 --> 01:27:37.039
this is someone that that that has launched the

01:27:37.039 --> 01:27:39.659
career of so many players at monza man it's true

01:27:39.659 --> 01:27:43.979
no no he's a he's a great fit and then someone

01:27:43.979 --> 01:27:46.760
who's who's tactically able as well who can really

01:27:46.760 --> 01:27:48.899
adapt to the opponent unless they are the german

01:27:48.899 --> 01:27:53.220
giants by munich um big day for darun this one

01:27:53.220 --> 01:27:58.739
club record 436 appearances he represents the

01:27:59.079 --> 01:28:01.619
the people they love him he represents Atalanta

01:28:01.619 --> 01:28:05.680
he is Mr. Atalanta himself yeah absolutely and

01:28:05.680 --> 01:28:07.720
I mean the first name on the team sheet for the

01:28:07.720 --> 01:28:10.859
past for however long we've had the podcast for

01:28:10.859 --> 01:28:14.920
sure and many years after that very likable character

01:28:14.920 --> 01:28:16.960
as well if you follow him on social media he's

01:28:16.960 --> 01:28:20.159
hilarious he was on a podcast or did an interview

01:28:20.159 --> 01:28:22.079
recently that I want to listen to with Marco

01:28:22.079 --> 01:28:26.579
from from IFTV I think I saw a clip where he

01:28:26.579 --> 01:28:28.960
was talking about being funny online Exactly,

01:28:29.180 --> 01:28:32.239
exactly. I want to watch the rest of that. We

01:28:32.239 --> 01:28:34.979
talked about Dike Tellaria coming back and looking

01:28:34.979 --> 01:28:38.020
good. He looked really sharp physically and mentally.

01:28:38.739 --> 01:28:40.640
He pressed really well. In fact, it led to the

01:28:40.640 --> 01:28:43.619
Kristovic goal and he positioned himself between

01:28:43.619 --> 01:28:46.039
the lines, kind of like Fofana does at Milan.

01:28:47.039 --> 01:28:51.399
He was a transition instigator kind of player.

01:28:51.960 --> 01:28:54.880
And he did very, very well. Verona were direct

01:28:54.880 --> 01:28:58.399
bro. Two up top at Milan. he could do something

01:28:58.399 --> 01:29:04.659
maybe I think Hellas Verona man their setup was

01:29:04.659 --> 01:29:07.520
direct they had moments they had chances but

01:29:07.520 --> 01:29:10.899
it's just a problem of quality nowadays I mean

01:29:10.899 --> 01:29:13.340
that Orban miss is just frustrating Belgali at

01:29:13.340 --> 01:29:16.300
one point of the slip that just drives you crazy

01:29:16.300 --> 01:29:19.000
they play up to the level of their opponents

01:29:19.000 --> 01:29:21.420
but they just can't get it over the line and

01:29:21.420 --> 01:29:24.659
losing someone like Jovan halfway through the

01:29:24.659 --> 01:29:28.100
season would really hurt suicide yeah that's

01:29:28.100 --> 01:29:30.460
a suicide yeah and then you're placing with bowie

01:29:30.460 --> 01:29:32.380
who's never played an italian football you know

01:29:32.380 --> 01:29:36.180
it's it's not exactly not exactly great yeah

01:29:36.180 --> 01:29:41.020
um so yes let's go to the next one bro we can

01:29:41.020 --> 01:29:43.140
we can close this one off let me tell you exactly

01:29:43.140 --> 01:29:47.680
where atalanta are in seventh on uh 50 points

01:29:47.680 --> 01:29:53.439
whilst where are they man Who did they play bro

01:29:53.439 --> 01:29:58.239
sorry? Verona are in 19th on 18 points level

01:29:58.239 --> 01:30:01.460
on points with last placed Pisa so I'm gonna

01:30:01.460 --> 01:30:03.520
do this game and then I'm gonna have to leave

01:30:03.520 --> 01:30:07.020
you so I'll send you everything about the last

01:30:07.020 --> 01:30:11.380
game it's okay I know that Genoa bro that game

01:30:11.380 --> 01:30:15.159
was mental for for the prediction series call

01:30:15.159 --> 01:30:17.060
me I call you. Call me. Okay, okay. It's going

01:30:17.060 --> 01:30:19.500
to be hilarious episode. The games and the lancers.

01:30:19.720 --> 01:30:21.939
Sorry. My cat had a sex change, by the way, guys.

01:30:22.100 --> 01:30:23.899
That's why I like to make sure he's not over

01:30:23.899 --> 01:30:27.380
licking himself. Honestly, because he has stitches

01:30:27.380 --> 01:30:29.779
now. He had to chop off his penis wide with his

01:30:29.779 --> 01:30:32.569
urethra. What happened? Did he snitch? yep he

01:30:32.569 --> 01:30:35.369
snitched and he's peeing now which is great though

01:30:35.369 --> 01:30:38.270
Bologna nil Lazio 2 this was the leapfrog Lazio

01:30:38.270 --> 01:30:40.670
have overtaken Bologna because of this victory

01:30:40.670 --> 01:30:44.050
and Lazio once again had no fans in this game

01:30:44.050 --> 01:30:46.510
and Bologna started to gain some momentum again

01:30:46.510 --> 01:30:49.970
recently but were leggy after their midweek 120

01:30:49.970 --> 01:30:54.170
minute victory over Roma Good choice, to be fair.

01:30:54.750 --> 01:30:57.130
They missed Skorupsky, Desylvestri, Odgaard and

01:30:57.130 --> 01:30:59.170
Poberga, and they also had a heavily rotated

01:30:59.170 --> 01:31:02.149
side. Latja have made three wins in a row, beating

01:31:02.149 --> 01:31:05.010
Sassuolo, Milan and now Bologna. Here they missed

01:31:05.010 --> 01:31:08.069
Zakani, Ravella, Providel, Cataldi and Zhigo,

01:31:08.329 --> 01:31:11.090
with Sarri also suspended. Previous encounter

01:31:11.090 --> 01:31:14.750
between these two sides was a 1 -1 draw in both

01:31:14.750 --> 01:31:19.380
Serie A and Coppa. 4 -2 -3 -1 for Italiano's

01:31:19.380 --> 01:31:21.699
men, Ravaglia in goal, backline of Miranda, Hegem,

01:31:21.939 --> 01:31:24.359
Wittek and Zortea, Moura and Somen midfield,

01:31:24.659 --> 01:31:27.039
with Rowe, Orsolini and Bernardeschi playing

01:31:27.039 --> 01:31:31.399
behind Castro. 4 -3 -3 for Sarri's men, Motta

01:31:31.399 --> 01:31:34.300
in goal, backline of Marisic, Hila, Romagnoli

01:31:34.300 --> 01:31:37.420
and Tavares, midfield 3 of Delebaschirou, Patrick

01:31:37.420 --> 01:31:41.180
and Kenneth Taylor, and a front 3 of Isaacson,

01:31:41.300 --> 01:31:45.210
Maldini and Pedro. So Bologna struck the woodwork

01:31:45.210 --> 01:31:48.210
in the 21st minute. It was a devastating strike

01:31:48.210 --> 01:31:52.029
from distance by Moro. In the 26th minute, Mario

01:31:52.029 --> 01:31:54.369
Hila left the pitch with a muscle injury and

01:31:54.369 --> 01:31:57.989
Proffesguard came on. In the 50th minute, Bologna

01:31:57.989 --> 01:32:00.289
were awarded a penalty after Dele Bashirou's

01:32:00.289 --> 01:32:02.449
sloppy back pass allowed Castro to break and

01:32:02.449 --> 01:32:06.430
Motta had no choice but to bring him down. Orsolini

01:32:06.430 --> 01:32:08.109
stepped up. He's already missed one this season,

01:32:08.189 --> 01:32:10.210
but he's typically so reliable from the spot

01:32:10.210 --> 01:32:15.710
and he is denied by the 21 year old Italian Motta.

01:32:16.529 --> 01:32:20.210
A lot more about Motta to come. 72nd minute,

01:32:20.470 --> 01:32:24.029
Lazio opened the scoring. Kenneth Taylor poached

01:32:24.029 --> 01:32:27.130
after Diaz shot rumbled off of Morrow and made

01:32:27.130 --> 01:32:30.489
it 1 -0 with a super clean finish into the bottom

01:32:30.489 --> 01:32:33.960
near corner. and then 10 minutes later Taylor

01:32:33.960 --> 01:32:37.079
got his second to make it 2 -0 Dia set him up,

01:32:37.239 --> 01:32:40.439
Taylor rounded Ravaglia and slotted it into the

01:32:40.439 --> 01:32:43.020
back of the net to make it 2 -0 and seal the

01:32:43.020 --> 01:32:45.960
game. In 90 second minute Maricich cleared Vitek's

01:32:45.960 --> 01:32:48.300
shot off the line. So two particular things I

01:32:48.300 --> 01:32:51.260
want to talk about. One is Kenneth Taylor, two

01:32:51.260 --> 01:32:54.340
is Mota. Let's start with Mota, he deserves it.

01:32:55.000 --> 01:32:58.079
21 year old Mota has now played three full matches

01:32:58.079 --> 01:33:01.840
in a row for Lazio, conceding just one screamer

01:33:01.840 --> 01:33:05.529
from Laurionte. He has two clean sheets and now

01:33:05.529 --> 01:33:08.470
a penalty save. He was signed in January from

01:33:08.470 --> 01:33:10.609
Reggiana. He's not just someone that, you know,

01:33:10.609 --> 01:33:12.170
came up through the ranks. He was signed in January

01:33:12.170 --> 01:33:14.829
from Reggiana, where this season he had five

01:33:14.829 --> 01:33:17.470
clean sheets and conceded 30 goals in 20 games.

01:33:17.670 --> 01:33:20.369
For context, Reggiana are 18th in the league.

01:33:21.329 --> 01:33:25.390
A youth product of ASD Soccer Spartera, Motta

01:33:25.390 --> 01:33:28.050
joined the Youth Academy of Juventus on the 9th

01:33:28.050 --> 01:33:32.000
of June 2016. he's making an impression this

01:33:32.000 --> 01:33:34.239
guy because okay he was quite quiet in for example

01:33:34.239 --> 01:33:36.800
the Milan game but a mature performance he did

01:33:36.800 --> 01:33:38.640
what he had to do commanded his box well for

01:33:38.640 --> 01:33:41.560
a 21 year old a few good saves as well and now

01:33:41.560 --> 01:33:44.520
this penalty save over Orsalini fantastic save

01:33:44.520 --> 01:33:47.600
yeah really good save and he's a very commanding

01:33:47.600 --> 01:33:50.020
goalkeeper he stands at six foot four I believe

01:33:50.020 --> 01:33:55.819
he's looking good man he's confident yeah Amazing,

01:33:56.060 --> 01:33:58.279
amazing. Good to see young goalkeepers like that

01:33:58.279 --> 01:34:00.920
man doing well. Last one we saw was G. Jordan

01:34:00.920 --> 01:34:05.050
Arruma. So it's always good to see you. generational

01:34:05.050 --> 01:34:07.350
talents when they're so young and and so good

01:34:07.350 --> 01:34:09.810
at goalkeeping man yeah I also want to highlight

01:34:09.810 --> 01:34:14.430
Kenneth Taylor he's he's growing up he arrived

01:34:14.430 --> 01:34:16.369
and he looked like a player with quality but

01:34:16.369 --> 01:34:20.369
but this game so far his PK two goals he was

01:34:20.369 --> 01:34:23.329
highly sought after Milan wanted him for a while

01:34:23.329 --> 01:34:25.329
and I remember someone in the chat was telling

01:34:25.329 --> 01:34:28.930
us that he's he's a good fit for Milan controls

01:34:28.930 --> 01:34:31.729
tempo well good passing good box -to -box as

01:34:31.729 --> 01:34:34.960
well and yeah funny he had scored the winning

01:34:34.960 --> 01:34:37.119
penalty in the Coppa against Bologna and now

01:34:37.119 --> 01:34:40.539
he came back to haunt them but bro two finishes

01:34:40.539 --> 01:34:44.739
of a very calm and composed nature yeah yeah

01:34:44.739 --> 01:34:48.960
totally do you prefer him or Gwendouzi? different

01:34:48.960 --> 01:34:52.420
different so different ideally both because i've

01:34:52.420 --> 01:34:56.729
heard this this argument in the Lazio verse Ideally

01:34:56.729 --> 01:34:59.630
both, exactly. Both with Ravella between them.

01:35:00.149 --> 01:35:02.210
Exactly, Ravella, Taylor, Gwendouzi. That would

01:35:02.210 --> 01:35:06.470
be gorgeous. Bologna in this game, they went...

01:35:06.470 --> 01:35:08.869
Oh, sorry. I also want to highlight Dia, because

01:35:08.869 --> 01:35:11.109
he came off the bench and contributed to both

01:35:11.109 --> 01:35:15.289
goals. It's funny because is he what Lazio need

01:35:15.289 --> 01:35:17.090
up front? Probably not, because he's had quite

01:35:17.090 --> 01:35:20.670
an ass season up until this point. He's been...

01:35:20.670 --> 01:35:23.010
Not the same since malaria. Yes, quite frankly.

01:35:23.050 --> 01:35:25.659
He's been invisible. One of the side effects

01:35:25.659 --> 01:35:29.340
of malaria, invisibility. Bologna in this game,

01:35:29.340 --> 01:35:31.720
they went for a patient build -up. Lazio on the

01:35:31.720 --> 01:35:33.579
other hand, they sat deep with Patrick playing

01:35:33.579 --> 01:35:36.539
as a quasi -regista. They relied on the likes

01:35:36.539 --> 01:35:39.539
of Moro and Orsolini to create chances from distance,

01:35:39.619 --> 01:35:41.819
but they had few clear -cut chances aside from

01:35:41.819 --> 01:35:45.079
the penalty. Now, it's unlikely that either side

01:35:45.079 --> 01:35:47.579
makes a push for European football, but both

01:35:47.579 --> 01:35:49.920
are involved in cups. You have Bologna in the

01:35:49.920 --> 01:35:52.600
Europa League and Lazio in the Coppa. Can they

01:35:52.600 --> 01:35:55.340
make a push? Bologna play Villa. Lazio have their

01:35:55.340 --> 01:35:57.340
second leg against Atalanta where the aggregate

01:35:57.340 --> 01:36:02.659
is 2 -2. Nice bro. I asked you a question. Can

01:36:02.659 --> 01:36:05.779
they make a push? Can Bologna win the Europa

01:36:05.779 --> 01:36:09.640
League? They play Villa now. It's the toughest

01:36:09.640 --> 01:36:14.000
task. I mean if they can get it over the line

01:36:14.000 --> 01:36:17.159
against Villa which is going to be very tough

01:36:17.159 --> 01:36:19.539
and I don't think they can do it personally.

01:36:19.720 --> 01:36:23.130
I don't think they can do it. um are Aston Villa

01:36:23.130 --> 01:36:26.529
still coached by Emery yes yes yes that's a that's

01:36:26.529 --> 01:36:28.310
a tough one now i think they're out next round

01:36:28.310 --> 01:36:31.210
yeah i think so and i don't think Lazio win the

01:36:31.210 --> 01:36:33.289
Copa either i don't think Lazio win the Copa

01:36:33.289 --> 01:36:35.810
either i think Como win the Copa bro it's not

01:36:35.810 --> 01:36:38.310
a bad shout to be honest with you um money on

01:36:38.310 --> 01:36:43.029
it uh -huh uh -huh yeah but anyway this was um

01:36:43.029 --> 01:36:44.890
a game for bragging rights more than anything

01:36:44.890 --> 01:36:47.409
stuck in ninth and eighth these teams um Lazio

01:36:47.409 --> 01:36:51.649
now in eighth on 43 points Bologna in ninth on

01:36:51.649 --> 01:36:54.510
42 points. I do just want to say that Atalanta

01:36:54.510 --> 01:36:57.109
and Lazio are really turning their seasons around

01:36:57.109 --> 01:36:59.529
It's almost too little too late for them to do

01:36:59.529 --> 01:37:02.050
anything serious and to break into break into

01:37:02.050 --> 01:37:05.250
Europe But both managers are doing a great job.

01:37:05.529 --> 01:37:09.329
Yes. Yes, and we'll see if Especially Italiano

01:37:09.329 --> 01:37:12.750
if he remains next season because because he's

01:37:12.750 --> 01:37:16.609
definitely gaining interest Yeah, so yes while

01:37:16.609 --> 01:37:19.689
Matthew leaves I will carry on the show a lot

01:37:23.610 --> 01:37:29.029
so the game I will be monologuing right now is

01:37:29.029 --> 01:37:33.329
Parma nil Cremonaise 2 and this is a classic

01:37:33.329 --> 01:37:36.729
Gianpaolo master class right Parma were missing

01:37:36.729 --> 01:37:40.199
Ancvist they were missing friggin Burnaby they

01:37:40.199 --> 01:37:44.260
were missing Kramaski and Del Prato was suspended

01:37:44.260 --> 01:37:47.180
as for Cremonezza they were missing Baski bicep

01:37:47.180 --> 01:37:52.579
and Bondo who was suspended now it's interesting

01:37:52.579 --> 01:37:56.510
to look at this system because Gianpaolo didn't

01:37:56.510 --> 01:37:59.930
opt for a classic system where there's on paper

01:37:59.930 --> 01:38:02.890
a trequartista but we did see van de Putte, who

01:38:02.890 --> 01:38:05.930
Matt and I talked about last season and discussed

01:38:05.930 --> 01:38:09.810
him being a potential trequartista for Gianpaolo

01:38:09.810 --> 01:38:13.329
we did see him occupy those spaces and when Vardy

01:38:13.329 --> 01:38:16.630
played him through it was indeed in that situation

01:38:16.630 --> 01:38:19.029
but anyway let's get to the lineups we had Suzuki

01:38:19.029 --> 01:38:23.710
in goal for Parma in a 3 -4 -3 formation, with

01:38:23.710 --> 01:38:26.689
Ciercati, Troilo and Valenti at the back, Brischki

01:38:26.689 --> 01:38:29.989
on the right, Valeri on the left, with Sorensen

01:38:29.989 --> 01:38:32.689
and Keita in the middle, Streffetza, Pellegrino

01:38:32.689 --> 01:38:37.649
and Ondrejka starting together up front. As for

01:38:37.649 --> 01:38:39.970
Cremones, it was Audero and Goal in their 4 -4

01:38:39.970 --> 01:38:42.710
-2 formation, with Petzella and Terracciano as

01:38:42.710 --> 01:38:45.720
the wingbacks. Luperto and Bianchetti as the

01:38:45.720 --> 01:38:47.439
centre -back pairing with Vande Putte on the

01:38:47.439 --> 01:38:49.920
left, Zerbin on the right, Malle and Grassi in

01:38:49.920 --> 01:38:52.439
the middle with Bonazzoli and Sanabria starting

01:38:52.439 --> 01:38:56.199
up front. So Gianpaolo made an immediate impact

01:38:56.199 --> 01:38:59.439
in this game, managing to get them over the line

01:38:59.439 --> 01:39:01.380
convincingly. To win it had been a while since

01:39:01.380 --> 01:39:04.479
Cremonese actually won a game and they'd finally

01:39:04.479 --> 01:39:07.949
won one convincingly. So the visitors had already

01:39:07.949 --> 01:39:10.970
shown attacking intent with van de Putte forcing

01:39:10.970 --> 01:39:13.989
an early save from Suzuki and Bonazzoli Attempting

01:39:13.989 --> 01:39:16.590
an overhead kick that just drifted over of course

01:39:16.590 --> 01:39:19.069
when isn't Bonazzoli going to attempt an overhead

01:39:19.069 --> 01:39:22.949
kick Bonazzoli even had a goal ruled out after

01:39:22.949 --> 01:39:25.630
Zerbin was offside in the build -up Parma's best

01:39:25.630 --> 01:39:29.550
chance came from Pellegrino who fired narrowly

01:39:29.550 --> 01:39:32.760
wide The breakthrough came in the 54th minute

01:39:32.760 --> 01:39:35.220
there was a poor Parma clearance that fell to

01:39:35.220 --> 01:39:37.500
Malek who unleashed a powerful first -time strike

01:39:37.500 --> 01:39:39.640
from around 20 meters out to score his first

01:39:39.640 --> 01:39:46.199
goal in Serie A since 2021. Gianpaolo's substitutions

01:39:46.199 --> 01:39:49.500
paid off shortly after coming on Vardy, yes Jamie

01:39:49.500 --> 01:39:52.279
Vardy produced a decisive assist sliding the

01:39:52.279 --> 01:39:54.340
ball across for van de Putte to run through the

01:39:54.340 --> 01:39:57.439
middle and finish pass Suzuki for a 2 -0 lead

01:39:57.439 --> 01:40:01.380
in the 68th minute. for then it was damage control

01:40:01.380 --> 01:40:03.739
for well not damage control so they tried to

01:40:03.739 --> 01:40:05.859
defend the lead after that and they managed successfully

01:40:05.859 --> 01:40:09.000
the closest that parma got was through nicolussi

01:40:09.000 --> 01:40:13.399
caviglia but luperto made a fine a vital block

01:40:13.399 --> 01:40:18.399
sorry to preserve the clean sheet this was a

01:40:18.399 --> 01:40:22.069
this was a very convincing display from I thought

01:40:22.069 --> 01:40:24.890
that they looked good, they looked like they

01:40:24.890 --> 01:40:27.489
have the new manager bounds, the new lease of

01:40:27.489 --> 01:40:31.909
life, and it will make the relegation race a

01:40:31.909 --> 01:40:35.470
little bit more... interesting to say the least.

01:40:36.170 --> 01:40:38.569
The previous Scramonezza system has been abandoned

01:40:38.569 --> 01:40:41.869
and there's this 4 -4 -2 shape that looks really

01:40:41.869 --> 01:40:44.569
solid and it gives Scramonezza this clear vertical

01:40:44.569 --> 01:40:49.010
structure and two forwards to stretch the back

01:40:49.010 --> 01:40:50.909
line if they do operate like this again. I thought

01:40:50.909 --> 01:40:55.369
they were very very good. Parma lacked penetration.

01:41:00.880 --> 01:41:04.859
They tend to this season they tend to lack a

01:41:04.859 --> 01:41:06.859
little bit of penetration and they tend to rely

01:41:06.859 --> 01:41:11.060
a little bit on set pieces and They use the three

01:41:11.060 --> 01:41:13.479
five two that dominated possession but in reality

01:41:13.479 --> 01:41:15.760
they only managed one shot on target from eight

01:41:15.760 --> 01:41:17.800
attempts and this is not good enough quite frankly

01:41:17.800 --> 01:41:20.619
when you're Against another relegation candidate.

01:41:20.619 --> 01:41:23.260
These are the games where you should be creating

01:41:23.260 --> 01:41:26.119
things. You should definitely be you know taking

01:41:26.119 --> 01:41:29.920
your chances but um but anyway dream start for

01:41:29.920 --> 01:41:32.859
john paolo while parma are slowly slowly getting

01:41:32.859 --> 01:41:35.100
dragged back into danger let's have a look at

01:41:35.100 --> 01:41:38.180
where they stand right now so we have cremones

01:41:38.180 --> 01:41:42.000
who are in 17th with 27 points while parma are

01:41:42.000 --> 01:41:44.659
12th with 34 points they're not out of the woods

01:41:44.659 --> 01:41:48.520
yet they still have quite a comfortable cushion

01:41:48.520 --> 01:41:51.680
do you say that a comfort cushion they're comfortable

01:41:51.680 --> 01:41:56.300
they're fine for now but uh they They need to...

01:41:56.300 --> 01:41:58.899
Let's see if they have any direct encounters

01:41:58.899 --> 01:42:03.960
coming up. So they play Lazio, Napoli, Udinese,

01:42:04.420 --> 01:42:08.199
Pisa, Inter, Roma, Cuomo and Sasuolo. That's

01:42:08.199 --> 01:42:13.649
a tough run in. So relegation race is still very

01:42:13.649 --> 01:42:18.010
much on and the last game was meant to be Matthews

01:42:18.010 --> 01:42:20.270
I can just run you through it. This was a game

01:42:20.270 --> 01:42:23.550
where Genoa came out and they tried to play a

01:42:23.550 --> 01:42:27.229
game of Who scores the craziest goal wins because

01:42:27.229 --> 01:42:29.170
they were shooting from absolutely everywhere

01:42:29.170 --> 01:42:31.470
you had Malinowski hitting free kicks from awkward

01:42:31.470 --> 01:42:35.489
angles far out clipping the crossbar You had

01:42:35.489 --> 01:42:39.260
who was the other guy who who struck? Colombo

01:42:39.260 --> 01:42:41.560
Colombo with a first -time strike from out of

01:42:41.560 --> 01:42:43.939
the box as well a really awkward angle who told

01:42:43.939 --> 01:42:46.720
him to shoot from there clipped the post as well

01:42:46.720 --> 01:42:50.279
smashed the post rather Genoa absolutely dominated

01:42:50.279 --> 01:42:53.319
Udinese they had 62 percent ball possession they

01:42:53.319 --> 01:42:58.560
had 18 shots seven corners you know they had

01:42:58.560 --> 01:43:01.859
twice as many passes as their opponents 13 free

01:43:01.859 --> 01:43:04.159
kicks they absolutely played them out of the

01:43:04.159 --> 01:43:07.750
park however Udinese managed to get one in the

01:43:07.750 --> 01:43:12.289
66th minute through Eklincamp header was a good

01:43:12.289 --> 01:43:14.449
goal against the run of play and then of course

01:43:14.449 --> 01:43:17.569
while Genoa were chasing an equalizer Udinese

01:43:17.569 --> 01:43:20.130
broke free and it was Davis who scored in the

01:43:20.130 --> 01:43:23.010
96th minute to keep his run going in his good

01:43:23.010 --> 01:43:27.489
form going now guys we are going to move on to

01:43:27.489 --> 01:43:30.529
our patrons segment and for this one i am going

01:43:30.529 --> 01:43:35.390
to live call friend of mine and I've just realized

01:43:35.390 --> 01:43:37.890
that Matthew took the phone that we were planning

01:43:37.890 --> 01:43:43.170
on calling him with Nathan can I use well we

01:43:43.170 --> 01:43:45.050
have to get his number first one second let's

01:43:45.050 --> 01:44:01.109
do this very quickly so that's yeah really is

01:44:01.109 --> 01:44:09.880
it the problem Okay crap I got logged out of

01:44:09.880 --> 01:44:19.279
What's this you need an update Okay, so let's

01:44:19.279 --> 01:44:23.460
find the number one second sorry about this guys

01:44:23.460 --> 01:44:40.739
So What's that the music yes all right here we

01:44:40.739 --> 01:44:59.840
go tell me how it sounds Nate yeah hello my friend

01:44:59.840 --> 01:45:05.180
how are you We are live on air. One second, let

01:45:05.180 --> 01:45:08.380
me put you in front of the microphone. Speak,

01:45:08.500 --> 01:45:12.539
speak, speak. Can you hear me? Can you hear me

01:45:12.539 --> 01:45:15.840
well? Yeah, yeah, perfect. Can you hear me? I

01:45:15.840 --> 01:45:19.479
can hear you guys perfectly. Just need to try

01:45:19.479 --> 01:45:21.859
and remember what I had decided I was going to

01:45:21.859 --> 01:45:24.739
say. Okay, no problem, no problem. It's been

01:45:24.739 --> 01:45:27.159
a bit of a messy one anyway. Matthew's left,

01:45:27.279 --> 01:45:32.130
so it's just me and you. of course for those

01:45:32.130 --> 01:45:36.489
for those who don't I think Daniel would have

01:45:36.489 --> 01:45:56.939
been a good one Okay, okay, that's good sometimes

01:45:56.939 --> 01:46:00.159
Diplomacy is the way the way to go Grimm for

01:46:00.159 --> 01:46:02.039
those of you who do not know this is Luke Grima

01:46:02.039 --> 01:46:04.060
He's been on the show before he's an inter fan

01:46:04.060 --> 01:46:06.680
and a very good friend of mine and he's going

01:46:06.680 --> 01:46:11.039
to tell us a little bit about Inter's season

01:46:11.039 --> 01:46:13.659
and where they stand. So first of all, do you

01:46:13.659 --> 01:46:18.039
agree with the statement Grimm? Before it was

01:46:18.039 --> 01:46:21.640
thought that inter suffered against the big teams

01:46:21.640 --> 01:46:24.500
and easily put away the small teams could it

01:46:24.500 --> 01:46:27.819
be the case that inter struggle when there is

01:46:27.819 --> 01:46:31.180
pressure as opposed to against the big teams

01:47:19.210 --> 01:47:23.770
at least until a few weeks ago. It's been better

01:47:23.770 --> 01:47:26.670
than one we have thought overall. But now, yes,

01:47:26.670 --> 01:47:28.590
what you're saying is what I was going to point

01:47:28.590 --> 01:47:32.470
out at the end. It is showing, I think, that

01:47:32.470 --> 01:47:36.010
this is one of his first high level jobs. And

01:47:36.010 --> 01:47:40.569
my biggest worry at the moment is, besides the

01:47:40.569 --> 01:47:42.850
fact that we haven't been able to show up against

01:47:42.850 --> 01:47:46.590
larger teams, it's that we've very flip -flopped

01:47:46.590 --> 01:47:49.069
a lot between the, like, how we play against

01:47:49.069 --> 01:47:51.050
smaller teams sometimes we manage to put the

01:47:51.050 --> 01:47:53.289
game away very easily and sometimes we struggle

01:47:53.289 --> 01:47:57.229
like what happened last weekend and I feel that

01:47:57.229 --> 01:47:59.170
both through the manager and also through the

01:47:59.170 --> 01:48:02.489
players that he's using there might be a bit

01:48:02.489 --> 01:48:05.529
of an issue in the next few weeks if we drop

01:48:05.529 --> 01:48:08.189
points again and we end up coming much closer

01:48:08.189 --> 01:48:12.729
with Milan in points after only a game away and

01:48:12.729 --> 01:48:15.949
even an easy game will never be an easy game

01:48:15.949 --> 01:48:19.239
so actually this run in I think it's going to

01:48:19.239 --> 01:48:21.899
be full of pressure. And it's obviously, we'll

01:48:21.899 --> 01:48:24.180
see some fun for Milan in the next few weeks.

01:48:24.359 --> 01:48:27.260
Which is very likely, but I think it might be

01:48:27.260 --> 01:48:31.739
the case that Milan and Inter both drop points

01:48:31.739 --> 01:48:36.640
going into the end of the season. And, you know,

01:48:36.819 --> 01:48:39.119
there's Napoli sneaking in, and Napoli, when

01:48:39.119 --> 01:48:40.960
the pressure amounts like this, this is when

01:48:40.960 --> 01:48:44.520
Conte usually thrives. He likes to take the charge

01:48:44.520 --> 01:49:22.909
from the back seat, right? So absolutely i think

01:49:22.909 --> 01:49:25.569
the pressure is all on interning to see what's

01:49:25.569 --> 01:49:27.250
going to happen if we drop point to the next

01:49:27.250 --> 01:49:30.289
game we don't win or even not fully win then

01:49:30.289 --> 01:49:34.609
it's just are we going to feel if we don't get

01:49:34.609 --> 01:49:39.390
a goal straight away again if we don't get a

01:49:39.390 --> 01:49:42.470
goal straight away again i'm just trying to see

01:49:42.470 --> 01:49:45.789
against Torino away it is going to play in our

01:49:45.789 --> 01:49:47.470
heads and we're just going to end up continuously

01:49:47.470 --> 01:49:49.710
dropping points and you know having that with

01:49:49.710 --> 01:49:54.979
us it's massive and to be honest man more than

01:49:54.979 --> 01:49:58.100
what he gives you on the pitch in terms of his

01:49:58.100 --> 01:50:00.979
technical ability i think you lose someone who

01:50:00.979 --> 01:50:04.220
is just a natural born leader someone who wants

01:50:04.220 --> 01:50:06.319
to win and someone who's really good at lifting

01:50:06.319 --> 01:50:10.619
the spirits around him in fact is it the case

01:50:10.619 --> 01:50:13.720
do you agree with the fact that um or with sorry

01:50:13.720 --> 01:50:17.079
my observation that chalanoglu being removed

01:50:17.079 --> 01:50:20.479
against ferentina caused a lot of disorganization

01:51:28.639 --> 01:51:31.699
Yeah, absolutely. If you were the coach, Green,

01:51:32.060 --> 01:51:40.239
would you bench Thuram and Sommer? Really? You

01:51:40.239 --> 01:52:10.569
actually wouldn't? Why not? I think the worry

01:52:10.569 --> 01:52:12.869
is that when you're looking at the pressure and

01:52:12.869 --> 01:52:15.630
unless there's something very obvious or you

01:52:15.630 --> 01:52:18.500
say there's a massive gap. I don't know if you

01:52:18.500 --> 01:52:20.819
would take that risk at this stage of the season,

01:52:20.899 --> 01:52:25.699
but what you need is one small blunder, and Martinez

01:52:25.699 --> 01:52:29.039
is probably out, he'll be messed up in itself,

01:52:30.180 --> 01:52:33.760
whereas Sommer might be able to default a bit

01:52:33.760 --> 01:52:36.520
more to some kind of autopilot. I know with confidence

01:52:36.520 --> 01:52:38.560
he's been shot, he's not been performing as well.

01:52:39.000 --> 01:52:41.960
Bro, every team is shooting on sight against

01:52:41.960 --> 01:52:51.229
you, every team. Yes, Toramo on the other hand

01:52:51.229 --> 01:52:58.390
I would because I feel that we can get more at

01:52:58.390 --> 01:53:03.689
this stage out of starting Esposito and Bonnie

01:53:03.689 --> 01:53:07.270
and maybe bringing Toramo on later in the game

01:53:07.270 --> 01:53:09.609
maybe that can help a bit and also maybe shake

01:53:09.609 --> 01:53:12.930
him up to try a bit harder especially if he comes

01:53:12.930 --> 01:53:16.069
on as a job but honestly yes that would be a

01:53:16.069 --> 01:53:19.060
change I would make. okay if you had to open

01:53:19.060 --> 01:53:23.340
a betting application right now and you had to

01:53:23.340 --> 01:53:26.979
put you had to put money a substantial amount

01:53:26.979 --> 01:53:29.680
of money on someone to win the league who are

01:53:29.680 --> 01:53:57.689
you putting it on hopefully Kivo can manage to

01:53:57.689 --> 01:54:01.670
drive home some important motivation into these

01:54:01.670 --> 01:54:03.609
players. I think they're gonna take a bit closer

01:54:03.609 --> 01:54:08.670
though. I'm still very hopeful. I mean all it

01:54:08.670 --> 01:54:10.289
takes at the end of the day is us just losing

01:54:10.289 --> 01:54:14.250
to Roma. Should change my mind. Yeah, that's

01:54:14.250 --> 01:54:17.689
how fine the margins are of course and no matter...

01:54:17.630 --> 01:54:20.750
If a draw doesn't happen between Milan and Napoli

01:54:20.750 --> 01:54:22.689
and you guys don't get maximum points against

01:54:22.689 --> 01:54:46.909
Roma, the pressure is on. That's it. One last

01:54:46.909 --> 01:54:50.069
question for you Grim if you fail to win the

01:54:50.069 --> 01:54:54.069
league and if you fail to win the Coppa Italia

01:54:54.069 --> 01:55:00.550
do you think would you keep Kivu? It's a bit

01:55:00.550 --> 01:55:04.750
of a difficult question because I feel that there

01:55:04.750 --> 01:55:08.869
are parts given how the season is going I think

01:55:08.869 --> 01:55:11.550
at this stage unless there's someone who is clearly

01:55:11.550 --> 01:55:14.010
like of a different caliber who I don't know

01:55:14.010 --> 01:55:15.930
who would be able to attract I would keep Kivu.

01:55:15.899 --> 01:55:22.180
for the simple reason that I'm worried that the

01:55:22.180 --> 01:55:27.460
management is now looking to do quite a big upheaval,

01:55:28.300 --> 01:55:30.279
and at least Kivo is showing the willingness

01:55:30.279 --> 01:55:33.279
to rotate in youngsters, try new things, and

01:55:33.279 --> 01:55:37.899
also potentially try shift the way we've been

01:55:37.899 --> 01:55:41.119
playing, where we've seen some quite good...

01:55:41.119 --> 01:55:44.760
obviously Bonny was one of his recommendations

01:55:44.760 --> 01:55:48.300
and I think he's been a great tradition obviously

01:55:48.300 --> 01:55:52.699
Espositor too right? Sankovic was someone he

01:55:52.699 --> 01:55:55.239
also used to coach we've confirmed that Bonny

01:55:55.239 --> 01:55:56.439
is going to get in and he's been playing very

01:55:56.439 --> 01:56:00.180
well with Gabruga so hopefully he'll be able

01:56:00.180 --> 01:56:04.020
to emulate that in Serie A I mean same with Sučić

01:56:04.020 --> 01:56:06.960
he came in obviously he started out very well

01:56:06.960 --> 01:56:12.409
he hasn't been as... I think this is the new

01:56:12.409 --> 01:56:13.949
look that they're trying to go for. Obviously

01:56:13.949 --> 01:56:17.029
the back three are going to have to do, there's

01:56:17.029 --> 01:56:20.470
going to be significant change there. I think

01:56:20.470 --> 01:56:22.949
Aranjit is playing very well. We're probably

01:56:22.949 --> 01:56:24.810
going to get Pavard back. I don't know if he'll

01:56:24.810 --> 01:56:27.590
manage to rotate him back into the squad. I don't

01:56:27.590 --> 01:56:28.789
know what's going to happen now that we get rid

01:56:28.789 --> 01:56:32.090
of De Vrij and Acherbi. But I think there's a

01:56:32.090 --> 01:56:35.550
lot of change that's going to go on. And I think

01:56:35.550 --> 01:56:38.409
it would be good to... knuckles have another

01:56:38.409 --> 01:56:41.149
managerial change because at least there's some

01:56:41.149 --> 01:56:43.270
people in there that could form part of a bit

01:56:43.270 --> 01:56:46.770
of a project and just give him the players he

01:56:46.770 --> 01:56:49.869
needs for his system but i don't see it i agree

01:56:49.869 --> 01:56:52.850
i think if you don't win anything he's out huh

01:56:52.850 --> 01:56:57.109
i think he will be but i'm not sure we'll see

01:56:57.109 --> 01:56:59.350
because i have no idea what the expectations

01:56:59.350 --> 01:57:02.789
were prior to the season starting i don't think

01:57:02.789 --> 01:57:09.409
we'll ever know Even if the ambition was top

01:57:09.409 --> 01:57:12.069
4, let's say the ambition was top 4 and you had

01:57:12.069 --> 01:57:14.909
a 10 point lead at the top, I think the ambition

01:57:14.909 --> 01:57:37.659
changes at that point. So far it seems that quite

01:57:37.659 --> 01:57:40.079
a few players have been saying that they enjoy

01:57:40.079 --> 01:57:43.399
his coaching and that they feel they are improving

01:57:43.399 --> 01:57:47.520
under him. So I don't know if that's something

01:57:47.520 --> 01:57:51.300
to consider. I mean, at the end of the day, we're

01:57:51.300 --> 01:57:53.880
owned by a hedge fund who wants to look for an

01:57:53.880 --> 01:57:57.659
exit. So another thing to consider is, I mean,

01:57:57.760 --> 01:58:00.220
it's a relatively low cost option. So even if

01:58:00.220 --> 01:58:03.220
they fire it among someone else. it's not that

01:58:03.220 --> 01:58:06.840
big of a headache and I think that might actually

01:58:06.840 --> 01:58:09.319
push them to to do it if things don't go very

01:58:09.319 --> 01:58:11.100
well but I'm sure they would be inclined to keep

01:58:11.100 --> 01:58:14.720
him for the for the wages what do you want do

01:58:14.720 --> 01:58:17.159
you do you want I assume you want Kivo to succeed

01:58:17.159 --> 01:58:19.520
right he's very likable and we've seen good things

01:58:19.520 --> 01:58:51.819
to be honest very competitive in any of the more

01:58:51.819 --> 01:58:54.579
difficult teams against any more of the higher

01:58:54.579 --> 01:58:59.199
level of position. That is my main worry, which

01:58:59.199 --> 01:59:03.439
arguably you could say a better score than we

01:59:03.439 --> 01:59:07.199
had last year, more than. Obviously not having

01:59:07.199 --> 01:59:09.960
done free for a long time is very, and playing

01:59:09.960 --> 01:59:14.460
with Luis Henrique hasn't been great, but. That

01:59:14.460 --> 01:59:16.539
would be my only worry. I don't know if that

01:59:16.539 --> 01:59:19.199
is coming of not knowing how to handle this opposition.

01:59:19.680 --> 01:59:23.079
In stark contrast to Enzalagi who was very meticulous

01:59:23.079 --> 01:59:30.100
and knew exactly how to exploit weaknesses. So

01:59:30.100 --> 01:59:32.640
to me that says that there might be a ceiling

01:59:32.640 --> 01:59:35.779
given how the season is going and probably what's

01:59:35.779 --> 01:59:37.840
going to happen now in summer and next year.

01:59:38.079 --> 01:59:40.680
I would be inclined to keep him just to have

01:59:40.680 --> 01:59:44.560
more of a easier transition. and then moving

01:59:44.560 --> 01:59:46.699
into getting someone who can actually eliminate

01:59:46.699 --> 01:59:50.279
this call. Yeah, yeah. I think that would be

01:59:50.279 --> 01:59:54.920
ideal. Grim, thank you very much for taking this

01:59:54.920 --> 01:59:57.859
call. Have you just been awaiting this phone

01:59:57.859 --> 02:00:00.819
call all evening? That's all I've been doing.

02:00:00.979 --> 02:00:02.840
I've been sitting by my phone, waiting for you

02:00:02.840 --> 02:00:09.340
to call, panicking. I get a little bit of task

02:00:09.340 --> 02:00:11.260
paralysis when I have something looming, when

02:00:11.260 --> 02:00:13.550
I have like... plans in like two hours three

02:00:13.550 --> 02:00:20.130
hours but luckily um i just had like something

02:00:20.130 --> 02:00:23.510

02:00:23.510 --> 02:00:29.409
thank you green um i've been holding my arm up

02:00:29.409 --> 02:00:31.770

thanks thanks again king thanks ciao ciao thank

02:00:39.350 --> 02:00:52.119
you I have to call Matthew for the prediction

02:00:52.119 --> 02:00:55.840
series you're gonna unlock it very good Matthias

02:00:55.840 --> 02:00:59.420
dropped a lovely piece of information in the

02:00:59.420 --> 02:01:02.199
in the comments he said over the last five to

02:01:02.199 --> 02:01:06.060
six seasons 36 points have kept you from relegation

02:01:06.060 --> 02:01:10.100
which means that technically technically technically

02:01:12.050 --> 02:01:14.149
Parma are not out of the woods yet. Exactly.

02:01:14.310 --> 02:01:16.590
So you have Parma, Genoa, Torino, Caliore, Fiorentina,

02:01:16.770 --> 02:01:21.449
Cremona, Lecce, Verona and Pisa who are all mathematically

02:01:21.449 --> 02:01:25.630
mathematical contenders for relegation, of course.

02:01:26.029 --> 02:01:28.850
Yes. Do you have my brother's number on that

02:01:28.850 --> 02:01:38.430

02:02:15.520 --> 02:02:18.619

Fiorentina beat them. Fiorentina will beat them,

02:03:11.380 --> 02:03:13.319

this. You called Grima? Yes, all done. He gave

02:06:55.520 --> 02:07:00.000
some nice insight. about what he expects from

02:07:00.000 --> 02:07:02.819
the future and if he actually wants to see Kivu

02:07:02.819 --> 02:07:07.760
and if he thinks he'll stay on if they don't

02:07:07.760 --> 02:07:10.279
win any trophies. But yeah, it's interesting.

02:07:10.880 --> 02:07:14.340

The football weekend, that's like the main dish.

02:09:52.260 --> 02:09:55.539

02:09:57.979 --> 02:10:01.020
is just perfect. It's good, okay? It makes it

02:10:01.020 --> 02:10:03.340
feel like we're all sitting in a room together

02:10:03.340 --> 02:10:06.720
just BSing with each other. The atmosphere is

02:10:06.720 --> 02:10:10.739
fantastic. I promise nobody will ask you to send

02:10:10.739 --> 02:10:14.020
boob pics. Sometimes maybe good, sometimes maybe

02:10:14.020 --> 02:10:17.239
shit. I love how you go into so much detail and

02:10:17.239 --> 02:10:21.020
show so much passion towards each and every team.

02:10:21.579 --> 02:10:26.079
Literally no team is left undiscussed. When I

02:10:26.079 --> 02:10:28.220
listen to you, it's like I'm talking to you in

02:10:28.220 --> 02:10:31.300
a pub. It's like I'm chatting to a friend and

02:10:31.300 --> 02:10:32.180
you're chatting to me.
