WEBVTT

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 --> 00:00:08.759
and I will have a very special soft spot for

00:00:08.759 --> 00:00:11.419
Saturday. Yeah, we love you. This might be bad.

00:00:14.740 --> 00:00:16.920
Your group has really some characters in it,

00:00:17.019 --> 00:00:23.350
no? Or an acid. Hello and welcome back to yet

00:00:23.350 --> 00:00:25.550
another episode of Serie A spotlight with your

00:00:25.550 --> 00:00:29.670
host Jake and Matt and this is episode 216 where

00:00:29.670 --> 00:00:31.829
we'll be covering all the action of matchday

00:00:31.829 --> 00:00:35.229
32 in Serie A and what happened in matchday 32

00:00:35.229 --> 00:00:39.270
one might ask well Inter have once again extended

00:00:39.270 --> 00:00:42.090
their lead at the top of the table to nine points

00:00:42.090 --> 00:00:46.049
after Napoli drew to Parma and Milan got absolutely

00:00:46.049 --> 00:00:49.840
destroyed by Udinese in their own stadium Their

00:00:49.840 --> 00:00:52.840
victims, Komo, are now down to fifth in their

00:00:52.840 --> 00:00:55.240
search for Champions League, with Roma looming

00:00:55.240 --> 00:00:58.020
just behind them after their thumping of Pisa,

00:00:58.259 --> 00:01:01.780
which included a Daniel Malen hat -trick. Of

00:01:01.780 --> 00:01:04.260
course, that means Juve are now in the Champions

00:01:04.260 --> 00:01:07.140
League spots after beating Atalanta, whose Europa

00:01:07.140 --> 00:01:11.150
League hopes have now taken a huge blow. In that

00:01:11.150 --> 00:01:13.290
huge relegation six -pointer that we've been

00:01:13.290 --> 00:01:15.390
beefing up for like the past two weeks between

00:01:15.390 --> 00:01:17.890
Cagliari and Cremonaise it was Cagliari who have

00:01:17.890 --> 00:01:21.430
come out victorious and have thus you know extended

00:01:21.430 --> 00:01:26.230
their I believe it's now six points that they

00:01:26.230 --> 00:01:28.890
are ahead of both Lecce and Cremonaise who are

00:01:28.890 --> 00:01:32.129
tied in 17th and 18th Massive win considering

00:01:32.129 --> 00:01:33.709
they're running now because they have quite a

00:01:33.709 --> 00:01:36.129
few tough fixtures coming up now Cagliari Yes,

00:01:36.269 --> 00:01:39.090
sir. Yes, sir. And thankfully Kaliari are one

00:01:39.090 --> 00:01:41.469
of the teams that are capable of causing an upset.

00:01:41.750 --> 00:01:43.650
You look at a team like Lecce, who have had a

00:01:43.650 --> 00:01:45.510
terrible run -in, but they haven't gotten a single

00:01:45.510 --> 00:01:49.030
point in that run -in. I do fancy Kaliari, like

00:01:49.030 --> 00:01:51.769
we saw a couple of seasons ago, the late victory

00:01:51.769 --> 00:01:54.010
against Atalanta. They have that in their locker.

00:01:54.269 --> 00:01:57.409
They draw to Milan. But we had some good goals

00:01:57.409 --> 00:02:00.260
as well. Not many, but we had a few bangers.

00:02:00.700 --> 00:02:02.900
And what was our goal of the week, brother? So

00:02:02.900 --> 00:02:05.980
our goal of the week was Malinovsky's Thunderbolt

00:02:05.980 --> 00:02:09.159
against Suswala. That's his sixth goal of the

00:02:09.159 --> 00:02:11.259
season. His first one was actually in the reverse

00:02:11.259 --> 00:02:14.580
fixture against them. What a classic Ruslan goal.

00:02:14.860 --> 00:02:16.560
And you know it's going to be a good episode

00:02:16.560 --> 00:02:18.419
when it starts off with Malinovsky's goal of

00:02:18.419 --> 00:02:20.919
the week, brother. Because Malinovsky, he's just

00:02:20.919 --> 00:02:24.620
got a laser. to him and I was going to say this

00:02:24.620 --> 00:02:28.340
as part of my talking points for the Kaljari

00:02:28.340 --> 00:02:31.219
game, the Kaljari -Kremoneza game, sorry for

00:02:31.219 --> 00:02:34.120
the Genoa -Sasuolo game, but I'm going to say

00:02:34.120 --> 00:02:39.460
it now. I think you have Malinovsky who in the

00:02:39.460 --> 00:02:43.199
Serie A is top two long -distance shooters in

00:02:43.199 --> 00:02:46.020
the league. Number one is Hakan Tralanov, number

00:02:46.020 --> 00:02:49.620
two is Ruslan Malinovsky. If I'm wrong correct

00:02:49.620 --> 00:02:51.539
me, but I I don't think I'm wrong that might

00:02:51.539 --> 00:02:53.280
even be the other way around I wouldn't be surprised

00:02:53.280 --> 00:02:55.280
man. Malinovsky's got a rocket. I mean, that's

00:02:55.280 --> 00:02:57.979
a trademark goal. It is I mean, I mean with both

00:02:57.979 --> 00:02:59.860
players You can't give them an inch. They will

00:02:59.860 --> 00:03:03.479
punish you Yeah, I want the right foot of Chalanoglu

00:03:03.479 --> 00:03:06.219
and I want the left foot of Ruslan Malinovsky

00:03:06.219 --> 00:03:08.860
Yes. Yes, that would be that would be excellent

00:03:08.860 --> 00:03:12.379
Imagine rocking up to a five aside with those

00:03:12.379 --> 00:03:15.270
two feet unfortunately I have the weaker foot

00:03:15.270 --> 00:03:19.069
of both of them of course stay till the end for

00:03:19.069 --> 00:03:23.860
our patreon segments so we don't have a voice

00:03:23.860 --> 00:03:26.800
of the fans or patreon corner um this week however

00:03:26.800 --> 00:03:29.319
our prediction series continues and guys things

00:03:29.319 --> 00:03:31.819
are heating up so there's six match days to go

00:03:31.819 --> 00:03:34.780
now and we officially have had our first draw

00:03:34.780 --> 00:03:37.580
and we're getting better we're picking up on

00:03:37.580 --> 00:03:39.699
like the random victories that are going to take

00:03:39.699 --> 00:03:41.479
place i don't know if it's a pattern we're catching

00:03:41.479 --> 00:03:43.900
on to i think now it's it's a bit easier to predict

00:03:43.900 --> 00:03:47.740
towards the end of the season yes and no bro

00:03:47.740 --> 00:03:49.979
like like you look at the victories lecture we're

00:03:49.979 --> 00:03:51.819
getting towards the end of the season last season

00:03:51.819 --> 00:03:54.150
you would have never I guess them. At the last

00:03:54.150 --> 00:03:56.330
stage it's actually the most unpredictable but

00:03:56.330 --> 00:04:00.210
we came 5 -5 in this week and there were some

00:04:00.210 --> 00:04:02.909
really good calls. The Torino Verona one was

00:04:02.909 --> 00:04:06.810
a good call. There was the Genoa Tobitza Swallow

00:04:06.810 --> 00:04:09.349
that was a good call as well. There were a few.

00:04:09.530 --> 00:04:12.430
There were a few nice ones. We got five each.

00:04:12.830 --> 00:04:15.509
It's not bad. Together we got them all right.

00:04:16.670 --> 00:04:19.410
Exactly. Two minds. That's how we've always worked.

00:04:20.700 --> 00:04:22.439
Alright before we get into anything of course

of we had a hilarious interaction on the on the

00:06:19.920 --> 00:06:22.220
group chat this week and we'll actually start

00:06:22.220 --> 00:06:24.759
off this episode by by sharing this because Matthew

00:06:24.759 --> 00:06:28.120
got absolutely roasted I got owned man I got

00:06:28.120 --> 00:06:30.300
owned and I haven't said the word owned in so

00:06:30.300 --> 00:06:32.920
long because it's gone but it came back just

00:06:32.920 --> 00:06:37.300
for what our patron Cesco did to me so I was

00:06:37.300 --> 00:06:40.740
out drinking wine and Marlin had just scored

00:06:40.740 --> 00:06:43.060
the hat trick now for context I have Marlin on

00:06:43.060 --> 00:06:45.959
FantaCulture I am only eight points behind the

00:06:45.959 --> 00:06:48.740
leader, Alan, who also has Marlin on FantaCulture.

00:06:49.620 --> 00:06:55.939
So I dropped him this. Oh god, oh god. Ah, that's

00:06:55.939 --> 00:06:59.319
the... ah, because I have YouTube open. So this

00:06:59.319 --> 00:07:02.519
is what I sent Alan, and the second voice note

00:07:02.519 --> 00:07:04.899
you'll be listening to is Patron Chesko's reply

00:07:04.899 --> 00:07:22.879
to me. That was me and now this is Tresco immediately

00:07:22.879 --> 00:07:39.579
after me as a second after bro Let's just say

00:07:39.579 --> 00:07:42.439
you drink a bit of wine your tongue gets a bit

00:07:42.439 --> 00:07:46.959
looser and so does your wrist a little bit zesty

00:07:46.959 --> 00:07:52.079
that voice But but absolutely hilarious, I love

00:07:52.079 --> 00:07:55.160
how how brutally he mocked you I hate him man,

00:07:55.319 --> 00:07:58.120
I hate him. What the fuck is he doing? It's my

00:07:58.120 --> 00:08:00.120
podcast, it's my group chat. And now it's my

00:08:00.120 --> 00:08:02.600
turn to get roasted. If you're watching on YouTube

00:08:02.600 --> 00:08:08.279
you'll notice that I've lost my beard. It was

00:08:08.279 --> 00:08:12.160
an accident and Nathan has pointed out that I

00:08:12.160 --> 00:08:17.240
look like Lord Farquaad. Farquaad, dude. Farquaad.

00:08:17.579 --> 00:08:21.240
Farquaad. Farquaad. Bold Farquaad is my name.

00:08:21.759 --> 00:08:23.939
Yeah, that's actually uncanny, bro. We've got

00:08:23.939 --> 00:08:28.519
the same trim. The same nose as well. It's true,

00:08:28.680 --> 00:08:31.500
huh? But he's a striking guy. He's a striking

00:08:31.500 --> 00:08:35.360
guy. Look at Moscar Delli right behind you. That's

00:08:35.360 --> 00:08:37.840
brilliant. Well done, Nate. Before we continue

00:08:37.840 --> 00:08:43.549
as well, just some comments. Daniel... What a

00:08:43.549 --> 00:08:45.950
beautiful day, what a beautiful sport. I'm amazed

00:08:45.950 --> 00:08:48.490
you didn't want me on the show this week. We

00:08:48.490 --> 00:08:50.629
absolutely don't want you on the show right now.

00:08:50.850 --> 00:08:53.809
For context, he is an Inter fan. Tyson, enjoy

00:08:53.809 --> 00:08:55.929
the episode. Lads, watching later, promise the

00:08:55.929 --> 00:08:59.590
Mrs to rewatch Hunger Games. Enjoy Hunger Games.

00:09:00.730 --> 00:09:03.990
This is better. Tyson predictions got better

00:09:03.990 --> 00:09:06.690
but bet365 is still in the negative oosh when

00:09:06.690 --> 00:09:10.769
I gamble with Tyson I always lose money yes and

00:09:10.769 --> 00:09:13.090
Cesco our favorite Lazio fan I agree he is my

00:09:13.090 --> 00:09:18.590
favorite Lazio fan shout out to my god Australian

00:09:18.590 --> 00:09:22.649
patron Mastrobattista yes Mastrobattista David

00:09:22.649 --> 00:09:26.750
Mastrobattista yes I remember him by his grandiose

00:09:26.750 --> 00:09:30.669
surname Shall we start with Inter, Como, brother?

00:09:31.090 --> 00:09:34.210
Yes, I think it's only appropriate to start with

00:09:34.210 --> 00:09:37.090
that game. It was action packed. It was entertaining.

00:09:37.490 --> 00:09:41.870
It was so good, honestly. And this was the real,

00:09:41.889 --> 00:09:45.289
the last hurdle for Inter, the last major hurdle

00:09:45.289 --> 00:09:49.549
to their title charge. And they managed to win

00:09:49.549 --> 00:09:52.690
this one 4 -3 away from home. It was Boute in

00:09:52.690 --> 00:09:54.850
goal for Como as they lined up in their 4 -2

00:09:54.850 --> 00:09:58.340
-3 -1 formation with Van der Bremen. The Twin

00:09:58.340 --> 00:10:32.169
Towers So it actually started off and it was

00:10:32.169 --> 00:10:35.190
all Cuomo from the get -go and they managed to

00:10:35.190 --> 00:10:38.090
score two through Valle and Paz. Valle opened

00:10:38.090 --> 00:10:41.090
the scoring in the 36th minute when Sommer spilled

00:10:41.090 --> 00:10:43.710
a rebound into his path and he tapped it in and

00:10:43.710 --> 00:10:47.250
then Paz scored in the 44th minute thanks to

00:10:47.250 --> 00:10:50.169
a lovely assist by Boute, very quick thinking.

00:10:50.230 --> 00:10:52.590
The second goalkeeper assist this week, right?

00:10:52.590 --> 00:10:55.210
Yes. Who was the other one? Remind me. The other

00:10:55.210 --> 00:11:00.690
one was Montepo. Montepo, yes. And then right

00:11:00.690 --> 00:11:04.539
off just before halftime sorry Inter shifted

00:11:04.539 --> 00:11:07.220
momentum as Turan managed to score from Bareilles

00:11:07.220 --> 00:11:10.919
cross just before halftime really giving Inter

00:11:10.919 --> 00:11:12.740
some hope and sending them back into the game

00:11:12.740 --> 00:11:15.139
because going into halftime with a 1 -0 deficit

00:11:15.139 --> 00:11:17.899
really isn't that bad but going in at 2 -0 obviously

00:11:17.899 --> 00:11:21.259
changes the mood a little bit The second half

00:11:21.259 --> 00:11:23.360
started and Thuram immediately equalized in the

00:11:23.360 --> 00:11:27.100
49th minute after Kempf controlled the ball terribly,

00:11:27.500 --> 00:11:29.539
after Barela played a lovely ball over the top.

00:11:30.019 --> 00:11:31.759
Boute was off his line, not the first time we

00:11:31.759 --> 00:11:35.779
saw this this season, and Thuram managed to just

00:11:35.779 --> 00:11:39.240
dink it into the back of the net. It was Denzel

00:11:39.240 --> 00:11:41.980
Dumfries who completed the turnaround by getting

00:11:41.980 --> 00:11:44.580
on the end of two set pieces in the 58th and

00:11:44.580 --> 00:11:47.240
in the 72nd, both from Challanoglu Deliveries,

00:11:47.279 --> 00:11:49.659
of course one of them, so Anakhanji knocked down,

00:11:49.879 --> 00:11:51.759
and then Dakunia converted a late penalty in

00:11:51.759 --> 00:11:54.480
the 89th before Komo hit the bar through Ramon

00:11:54.480 --> 00:11:58.759
in stoppage time. Inter won 4 -3 despite having

00:11:58.759 --> 00:12:02.940
40 % ball possession, 70 shots versus 24 and

00:12:02.940 --> 00:12:05.820
conceding a higher XG. This result has moved

00:12:05.820 --> 00:12:09.820
them to plus 9 at the top. Absolutely massive

00:12:09.820 --> 00:12:12.940
game bro. Massive game and I've been seeing a

00:12:12.940 --> 00:12:15.600
lot of comments of people saying oh but Como

00:12:15.600 --> 00:12:17.500
were the better team, Como were the better team.

00:12:17.679 --> 00:12:21.019
I don't think I've watched a match that Como

00:12:21.019 --> 00:12:23.299
played in Serie A this season where they didn't

00:12:23.299 --> 00:12:25.379
look like the better team because they play a

00:12:25.379 --> 00:12:28.649
more offensive brand of football they like having

00:12:28.649 --> 00:12:31.389
the ball they create a lot of chances we know

00:12:31.389 --> 00:12:34.090
that and they don't concede many chances so they're

00:12:34.090 --> 00:12:36.690
always gonna look like the better team and they

00:12:36.690 --> 00:12:38.929
always dominate at home right especially yeah

00:12:38.929 --> 00:12:40.789
totally totally because they play with such a

00:12:40.789 --> 00:12:43.330
high line they condense the pitch so well and

00:12:43.330 --> 00:12:47.570
but what the experienced inter did even not with

00:12:47.570 --> 00:12:50.350
the most experienced manager is they managed

00:12:50.350 --> 00:12:52.389
to exploit the weakness there was always going

00:12:52.389 --> 00:12:55.590
to be a phase in the game where inter especially

00:12:55.590 --> 00:12:57.710
when being behind 2 -0 at the start of the game,

00:12:58.110 --> 00:12:59.889
they were gonna pile men forward, they were gonna

00:12:59.889 --> 00:13:01.990
get all those bodies in the box as they always

00:13:01.990 --> 00:13:05.169
do, they excel at getting the ball into that

00:13:05.169 --> 00:13:08.110
packed box, and that is where, you know, comas

00:13:08.110 --> 00:13:11.159
struggle. We know coma to have... an excellent

00:13:11.159 --> 00:13:13.980
record at not conceding goals but not an excellent

00:13:13.980 --> 00:13:16.340
defense if that makes sense it's it's bizarre

00:13:16.340 --> 00:13:18.419
isn't it because i i totally understand where

00:13:18.419 --> 00:13:20.279
you're coming from they don't concede much but

00:13:20.279 --> 00:13:23.279
they don't particularly um individually they

00:13:23.279 --> 00:13:25.600
don't defend very very well they're so good at

00:13:25.600 --> 00:13:28.139
stopping people from having chances from stopping

00:13:28.139 --> 00:13:30.279
teams from from even getting anywhere near their

00:13:30.279 --> 00:13:32.419
area it's true but then a cross comes in for

00:13:32.419 --> 00:13:35.460
example and you have dominant strikers they will

00:13:35.460 --> 00:13:37.980
most likely win the header exactly um this is

00:13:37.980 --> 00:13:41.440
really interesting um the way Inter and their

00:13:41.440 --> 00:13:46.039
mentality managed to overcome any sort of problem

00:13:46.039 --> 00:13:49.480
that they were faced with in this game. So for

00:13:49.480 --> 00:13:53.940
example, after Cuomo's second goal, it had all

00:13:53.940 --> 00:13:56.360
been Cuomo, right? Honestly, they looked like

00:13:56.360 --> 00:13:59.039
they were out of ideas. They looked like they

00:13:59.039 --> 00:14:01.960
were getting overwhelmed. And while Cuomo are

00:14:01.960 --> 00:14:04.940
celebrating, you had celebrations happening at

00:14:04.940 --> 00:14:07.259
two ends of the pitch. after the second goal

00:14:07.259 --> 00:14:09.500
he had everyone celebrating with the goal scorer

00:14:09.500 --> 00:14:11.480
and then you had like the whole bench celebrating

00:14:11.480 --> 00:14:14.360
with boute because of the assist right everyone

00:14:14.360 --> 00:14:17.039
like they were partying already after that inter

00:14:17.039 --> 00:14:20.460
literally like um took advantage of the maybe

00:14:20.460 --> 00:14:23.259
complacency or the the euphoria that comore feeling

00:14:23.259 --> 00:14:25.830
and they immediately hit them with a reality

00:14:25.830 --> 00:14:28.450
check. A Barela perfect cross and Thuram with

00:14:28.450 --> 00:14:30.250
a striker's finish. How often can we say that?

00:14:30.529 --> 00:14:32.929
We haven't really been saying that at all. Normally

00:14:32.929 --> 00:14:36.029
Thuram operates in these like short bursts coming

00:14:36.029 --> 00:14:38.250
in, cutting in from the side, but he played like

00:14:38.250 --> 00:14:40.629
a proper striker this game. Yeah, and he was

00:14:40.629 --> 00:14:45.389
great and he is so back and Barela is so back

00:14:45.389 --> 00:14:49.590
and Denzel Dumfries is so back. That's the second

00:14:49.590 --> 00:14:52.610
way they hit them. It's this new wave of like

00:14:52.720 --> 00:14:55.460
those are not the players that we have been praising

00:14:55.460 --> 00:14:57.860
for inter this season. Who have we been praising?

00:14:58.019 --> 00:15:00.519
We've been praising Lautaro, we've been praising

00:15:00.519 --> 00:15:02.799
Hakan, we've been praising DiMarco, we've been

00:15:02.799 --> 00:15:06.820
praising Espósito. Now when they kind of put

00:15:06.820 --> 00:15:10.019
their performances on a halt it's shifted to

00:15:10.019 --> 00:15:12.580
the other side of the field. So now it's Denzel

00:15:12.580 --> 00:15:14.639
Dumfries, now it's Thuram, now it's Barella.

00:15:15.120 --> 00:15:18.659
This is the natural cycle of form, right? Look

00:15:18.659 --> 00:15:21.620
at Milan, for example, at the start of the season.

00:15:22.799 --> 00:15:25.000
At the start of the season there was Pulisic,

00:15:25.080 --> 00:15:27.419
it was all about Pulisic, right? And then Rabiot

00:15:27.419 --> 00:15:29.080
came and he gave them a boost. There was a moment

00:15:29.080 --> 00:15:31.340
where Salah Makars was the guy, you know, like,

00:15:31.559 --> 00:15:34.279
of course. That's no one. Exactly, that's the

00:15:34.279 --> 00:15:36.379
problem. But for Inter there's always been someone.

00:15:36.600 --> 00:15:42.289
That's it. Even though during the game, Como

00:15:42.289 --> 00:15:47.149
played better than Inter did, Inter managed to

00:15:47.149 --> 00:15:49.509
utilize one of their main strengths, right? Their

00:15:49.509 --> 00:15:53.320
set pieces. They're absolutely... Because they're

00:15:53.320 --> 00:15:55.519
unplayable you cannot defend against a set piece

00:15:55.519 --> 00:15:59.100
like this and and to be honest maybe Como were

00:15:59.100 --> 00:16:02.399
a little bit naive. They made a halftime substitution.

00:16:02.720 --> 00:16:06.399
They they took out Diego Carlos who had been

00:16:06.399 --> 00:16:09.340
playing very well and very physically and defending

00:16:09.340 --> 00:16:14.399
well and they brought on Ramon who isn't As dominant

00:16:14.399 --> 00:16:16.419
as he is in defense, right? But then he gives

00:16:16.419 --> 00:16:18.480
you a little bit more and build up He likes to

00:16:18.480 --> 00:16:20.179
contribute. In fact, it was him who had the crossbar.

00:16:20.259 --> 00:16:23.610
Yeah but maybe this was a little bit naive perhaps

00:16:23.610 --> 00:16:28.190
because they did end up conceding from two set

00:16:28.190 --> 00:16:31.009
pieces and not to mention as well Mancomo just

00:16:31.009 --> 00:16:34.830
they're a little bit too naive at times the equalizer,

00:16:35.009 --> 00:16:39.549
the 2 -2 goal that the Rams scored you see Nikopas

00:16:39.549 --> 00:16:43.649
in a position just outside the box well a little

00:16:43.649 --> 00:16:46.710
bit further out of the box with many passing

00:16:46.710 --> 00:16:50.250
options ahead of him And he attempts a no look

00:16:50.250 --> 00:16:52.429
pass, Nico pause. This is three minutes into

00:16:52.429 --> 00:16:54.230
the second half, right? He attempts a no look

00:16:54.230 --> 00:16:59.690
pass. And intercept the ball. The ball makes

00:16:59.690 --> 00:17:03.289
its way to Barela. Barela looks up. at his intended

00:17:03.289 --> 00:17:06.769
target and dinks the perfect pass right between

00:17:06.769 --> 00:17:09.009
Thuram and the keeper forcing the defender into

00:17:09.009 --> 00:17:11.269
a bad touch and the miscommunication, Boute obviously

00:17:11.269 --> 00:17:13.769
comes out. Boute was already, because since Koma

00:17:13.769 --> 00:17:16.250
had the ball, Boute was committed off his line

00:17:16.250 --> 00:17:18.309
already, he was almost out of the box, so he

00:17:18.309 --> 00:17:20.109
was in no man's land the second Barilla played

00:17:20.109 --> 00:17:24.309
the pass. And that to me is a little bit poetic,

00:17:24.509 --> 00:17:27.329
right? That you have what should have been a

00:17:27.329 --> 00:17:31.660
simpler pause a simpler pass from pause getting

00:17:31.660 --> 00:17:34.480
messed up with a no look for no reason whatsoever

00:17:34.480 --> 00:17:36.099
three minutes into the second half then you have

00:17:36.099 --> 00:17:40.440
barela straight to business like looking up spotting

00:17:40.440 --> 00:17:42.759
the run playing the perfect pass you know without

00:17:42.759 --> 00:17:45.400
any any any bullshit uh -huh it's it's uh it's

00:17:45.400 --> 00:17:47.720
getting getting carried away i actually i think

00:17:47.720 --> 00:17:53.160
uh komo for their ability and for their youth

00:17:53.160 --> 00:17:57.099
they're quite mature in many ways individually

00:17:58.839 --> 00:18:01.500
So seeing moments like that from the likes of

00:18:01.500 --> 00:18:04.099
Nico Paz, who is one of the real leaders of this

00:18:04.099 --> 00:18:07.940
team. He's the greatest talent. Everyone looks

00:18:07.940 --> 00:18:10.420
up to him. That's not the example he wants to

00:18:10.420 --> 00:18:12.500
be setting, especially since he just had a bit

00:18:12.500 --> 00:18:14.859
of a drought. He came back and got a few goals

00:18:14.859 --> 00:18:18.269
back now and then assist here and there. and

00:18:18.269 --> 00:18:20.829
then he goes on attempts a no look when you're

00:18:20.829 --> 00:18:23.269
beating the champions elect yeah why are you

00:18:23.269 --> 00:18:25.829
showboating you have a 1 -0 lead you know what

00:18:25.829 --> 00:18:27.950
i mean you were you were 2 -0 and you conceded

00:18:27.950 --> 00:18:30.109
a clumsy goal at the end of the half like don't

00:18:30.109 --> 00:18:33.009
showboat man be careful even more than that man

00:18:33.009 --> 00:18:38.230
i i noticed that the games where Komo don't win

00:18:38.230 --> 00:18:42.250
um so who did Komo drop points to last week Udinese

00:18:42.250 --> 00:18:46.220
a very physical side yeah what did Inter do when

00:18:46.220 --> 00:18:48.420
they wanted to get back into the game they made

00:18:48.420 --> 00:18:50.319
it more physical they packed the middle they

00:18:50.319 --> 00:18:53.380
went more kind of like aggressive not even man

00:18:53.380 --> 00:18:55.460
for man just just more they took Bosconi out

00:18:55.460 --> 00:18:59.059
who was getting absolutely destroyed by Poz Alegris

00:18:59.059 --> 00:19:02.900
Milan very very physical midfield Bologna I think

00:19:02.900 --> 00:19:05.559
it was match day two of the season because Como

00:19:05.559 --> 00:19:08.779
first game they beat Lazio and then they lost

00:19:08.779 --> 00:19:12.940
to Bologna if I'm not mistaken and the same Bologna

00:19:12.940 --> 00:19:15.950
made it physical um against these guys they they

00:19:15.950 --> 00:19:18.069
played a lot more aggressive and that's where

00:19:18.069 --> 00:19:21.109
Koma tend to to lose the game because they're

00:19:21.109 --> 00:19:24.529
young they're inexperienced you know oh ah you

00:19:24.529 --> 00:19:27.710
hurt me kind of yeah that's what inter really

00:19:27.710 --> 00:19:29.230
brought to the game in the second half when you

00:19:29.230 --> 00:19:32.529
have young players and you go in um and show

00:19:32.529 --> 00:19:34.450
them a bit of physicality you can easily throw

00:19:34.450 --> 00:19:39.470
them off absolutely um I mean, there are quite

00:19:39.470 --> 00:19:41.069
a lot of talking points that I would like to

00:19:41.069 --> 00:19:44.289
bring up, particularly Denzel Dumfries just from

00:19:44.289 --> 00:19:47.250
the get -go. Before his goals, he was already

00:19:47.250 --> 00:19:51.589
having a very good game. He was defending very

00:19:51.589 --> 00:19:55.049
physically and he had one lost -ditch interception

00:19:55.049 --> 00:19:58.029
that was absolutely beautiful to deny. I think

00:19:58.029 --> 00:20:00.970
it was a Diao low cross coming in extremely dangerously

00:20:00.970 --> 00:20:03.569
and he slid and blocked it. He had an all -action,

00:20:03.630 --> 00:20:05.670
very good display and I think he's back to his

00:20:05.670 --> 00:20:08.180
best man. he is back and he's one of those players

00:20:08.180 --> 00:20:10.000
that when he's on the pitch not only does he

00:20:10.000 --> 00:20:12.039
give you ability but he gives you a bit of a

00:20:12.039 --> 00:20:14.160
boost because he's a leader you know what i mean

00:20:14.160 --> 00:20:16.440
which like we said when Lautaro was out they

00:20:16.440 --> 00:20:18.519
didn't have that then Lautaro came back last

00:20:18.519 --> 00:20:20.740
game and we're like oh they have their mentality

00:20:20.740 --> 00:20:22.799
back now they didn't have Lautaro and they had

00:20:22.799 --> 00:20:25.299
Dumfries and Dumfries i feel like he kind of

00:20:25.299 --> 00:20:28.279
takes on that role he's a bit of a a mentality

00:20:28.279 --> 00:20:30.839
monster he is he is a mentality and he is a machine

00:20:30.839 --> 00:20:33.559
because when you see a player that had been out

00:20:33.559 --> 00:20:36.720
for as long as Dumfries has been out and he comes

00:20:36.720 --> 00:20:39.779
in and just starts immediately from the get -go

00:20:39.779 --> 00:20:43.400
scoring from right back bro no he's he's he's

00:20:43.400 --> 00:20:46.059
impressive man and what a shame it is for him

00:20:46.059 --> 00:20:48.980
and for Inter that he spent so much time sideline

00:20:48.980 --> 00:20:51.240
this season at least he's he's good for the World

00:20:51.240 --> 00:20:55.900
Cup man yeah yeah he should be and he's so he's

00:20:55.900 --> 00:20:59.940
so um involved and I wouldn't even describe Dumfries

00:20:59.940 --> 00:21:02.180
as a fantastic footballer and we've said this

00:21:02.180 --> 00:21:05.180
before right as in he has scored amazing goals

00:21:05.180 --> 00:21:08.599
and I think it was last season where he really

00:21:08.599 --> 00:21:10.779
made goals scoring a big part of his game and

00:21:10.779 --> 00:21:13.599
he even scored I think a highly technical bicycle

00:21:13.599 --> 00:21:17.799
kick at one point it was mental but what you

00:21:17.799 --> 00:21:19.680
mentioned is a very important point with Dumfries

00:21:19.680 --> 00:21:21.920
he doesn't give up man he never gives up his

00:21:21.920 --> 00:21:25.019
mentality is second to none he is absolutely

00:21:25.019 --> 00:21:29.400
great and just have someone with that size on

00:21:29.400 --> 00:21:31.440
the right flank gives you such an advantage man

00:21:31.440 --> 00:21:33.019
especially at the mark on the other side who's

00:21:33.019 --> 00:21:35.359
been off form granted but you know you can cross

00:21:35.359 --> 00:21:37.740
it to the far post you know you've got two target

00:21:37.740 --> 00:21:39.720
men up front you have Lautaro who's great in

00:21:39.720 --> 00:21:42.000
the FP or Sposito who's physical and big and

00:21:42.000 --> 00:21:44.220
then you have fucking Denzel Dumfries running

00:21:44.220 --> 00:21:46.720
in behind them that's that's crazy and i mean

00:21:46.720 --> 00:21:49.160
his two goals at the at the back post that is

00:21:49.160 --> 00:21:50.900
exactly what Inter have been missing and we've

00:21:50.900 --> 00:21:53.619
said it a hundred times Luis Enrique ain't running

00:21:53.619 --> 00:21:56.359
into the far post like that no way Luis Enrique

00:21:56.359 --> 00:21:59.519
is afraid to pass the ball forward exactly um

00:21:59.519 --> 00:22:04.750
we have seen a bit of um a difference in how

00:22:04.750 --> 00:22:07.309
these players these these interplayers reacted

00:22:07.309 --> 00:22:11.490
after the the world cup qualification failure

00:22:11.490 --> 00:22:15.890
you have bastoni who has been substituted for

00:22:15.890 --> 00:22:17.890
the second time in a row at halftime he's been

00:22:17.890 --> 00:22:19.750
ass he's been really bad he's been poor he's

00:22:19.750 --> 00:22:23.190
been really in his head and um i wouldn't be

00:22:23.190 --> 00:22:26.509
surprised if intercashed in on him you have dimarco

00:22:26.509 --> 00:22:29.910
who's playing quite poorly and for him before

00:22:30.500 --> 00:22:32.619
Say I was his playing field. He would get an

00:22:32.619 --> 00:22:35.839
assist or a goal every game it felt like so he's

00:22:35.839 --> 00:22:39.900
dipped a little bit He was Esposito hadn't this

00:22:39.900 --> 00:22:41.700
was a pretty this was I think the worst game

00:22:41.700 --> 00:22:44.420
I've seen by a sponsor is not involved whatsoever

00:22:44.420 --> 00:22:46.920
and couldn't even control the ball to be honest

00:22:46.920 --> 00:22:49.779
most of the time it came to him and then you

00:22:49.779 --> 00:22:53.619
have Barrella who has risen above it all and

00:22:53.619 --> 00:22:57.140
has found his old form impressive know how Barrella

00:22:57.140 --> 00:22:58.579
has been playing how he's managed to turn his

00:22:58.579 --> 00:23:02.559
season around it feels like Barrella now since

00:23:02.559 --> 00:23:07.000
Italy got kicked out well knocked out it feels

00:23:07.000 --> 00:23:09.599
like he's playing without pressure where it always

00:23:09.599 --> 00:23:12.160
felt like he had these weights on his feet I'd

00:23:12.160 --> 00:23:14.279
say his knees looked down when he scored man

00:23:14.279 --> 00:23:17.720
for Inter that goal he got a few weeks ago the

00:23:17.720 --> 00:23:20.339
whole team was around him tapping his he was

00:23:20.339 --> 00:23:23.220
emotional it could be and many commenters have

00:23:23.220 --> 00:23:25.880
said this that that it could be something happening

00:23:25.880 --> 00:23:29.599
in his private life man potentially that that's

00:23:29.599 --> 00:23:31.420
one thing that from sitting at the back of this

00:23:31.420 --> 00:23:34.440
desk and watching football you know every weekend

00:23:34.440 --> 00:23:38.680
we'll we'll never know um uh but but that that

00:23:38.680 --> 00:23:40.660
pass that he gave as well into no man's land

00:23:40.660 --> 00:23:44.180
between between boute and to rum it's just that

00:23:44.180 --> 00:23:48.039
that fearless vision that he has and and that

00:23:48.039 --> 00:23:52.140
you know that that kind of magic where he lets

00:23:52.140 --> 00:23:54.539
the ball run through his legs and he sends someone

00:23:54.539 --> 00:23:58.579
to fucking space it is just when he's having

00:23:58.579 --> 00:24:01.279
fun when you know that that's when he plays the

00:24:01.279 --> 00:24:03.779
best but I don't think he's been enjoying his

00:24:03.779 --> 00:24:05.700
football but I don't know if it's something in

00:24:05.700 --> 00:24:09.640
his personal life or if that pressure of representing

00:24:09.640 --> 00:24:14.039
the Italian national team being not getting to

00:24:14.039 --> 00:24:16.059
the World Cup for the third time in a row must

00:24:16.059 --> 00:24:19.279
also be Weighing now that it's over. I don't

00:24:19.279 --> 00:24:22.079
know. Maybe it could be a relief. I mean he scored

00:24:22.079 --> 00:24:24.059
he doesn't have to worry about that anymore I

00:24:24.059 --> 00:24:25.859
mean, it would be traumatic hate to go through

00:24:25.859 --> 00:24:27.839
but I'm glad he's back because he's a fucking

00:24:27.839 --> 00:24:30.299
joy to watch He's one of when he's on he's one

00:24:30.299 --> 00:24:32.160
of the best midfielders in the league. No doubt

00:24:32.160 --> 00:24:35.500
to assist lots of progressive passes lovely interceptions

00:24:35.500 --> 00:24:39.660
He was central to both the creation and the defensive

00:24:39.660 --> 00:24:42.759
phase of the game Can I point out a few comments

00:24:42.759 --> 00:24:46.599
by Daniel and Daniel says the match was like

00:24:46.539 --> 00:24:49.539
a skilled flyweight taking on a brutal heavyweight.

00:24:50.039 --> 00:24:52.619
They danced around us and landed a few nice shots

00:24:52.619 --> 00:24:55.420
and then we took it off, sorry, then we shook

00:24:55.420 --> 00:24:58.000
it off and absolutely pummeled them. Scudetto

00:24:58.000 --> 00:25:01.000
21 loading, absolutely. And then he also said

00:25:01.000 --> 00:25:04.220
quick side note, Gatti and Bongiorno get to play

00:25:04.220 --> 00:25:06.299
volleyball in the penalty area this week and

00:25:06.299 --> 00:25:08.980
nothing. Paz kicks Bonnie in the nuts on a follow

00:25:08.980 --> 00:25:11.950
through. Penalty. Good old Marotta League, eh?

00:25:13.730 --> 00:25:15.369
Yeah, the penalty was harsh. The penalty was

00:25:15.369 --> 00:25:18.130
extremely harsh. It was totally harsh. Yeah,

00:25:19.230 --> 00:25:21.049
thankfully it didn't affect the outcome because

00:25:21.049 --> 00:25:23.410
I can't stand when the conversation is dominated

00:25:23.410 --> 00:25:27.009
by these controversial penalties. But yes, the

00:25:27.009 --> 00:25:28.930
refereeing definitely needs to improve in Italy.

00:25:29.069 --> 00:25:32.130
And there is a new precedent election thing happening

00:25:32.130 --> 00:25:34.109
at the moment. I haven't really read much into

00:25:34.109 --> 00:25:36.680
it because... when once someone is elected then

00:25:36.680 --> 00:25:39.339
i will look exactly i don't i don't care until

00:25:39.339 --> 00:25:46.180
it changes yeah yeah we already have an election

00:25:46.180 --> 00:25:49.299
coming up in malta but jesus i'm gonna covet

00:25:49.299 --> 00:25:53.200
quarantine myself during that yeah or i can go

00:25:53.200 --> 00:25:57.299
out get drunk and really enjoy it the newspapers

00:25:57.299 --> 00:26:01.569
in italy are describing um this game as inter

00:26:01.569 --> 00:26:04.849
having nine fingers on the scudetto now jeez

00:26:04.849 --> 00:26:08.630
nine points clear nine nine fingers nine fingers

00:26:08.630 --> 00:26:12.170
in the scudetto yeah yeah it's true right i mean

00:26:12.170 --> 00:26:15.160
it's they would have to lose more than they have

00:26:15.160 --> 00:26:18.200
lost this season to actually... No and it is

00:26:18.200 --> 00:26:21.900
bro like it is an inter that okay the core of

00:26:21.900 --> 00:26:24.220
their team hasn't changed for a while you know

00:26:24.220 --> 00:26:26.740
it's the childnogluz, the barellas, the demarcos,

00:26:26.900 --> 00:26:29.259
the lautaras, the dumfries, the agerbes, the

00:26:29.259 --> 00:26:32.730
bastonis the team hasn't... Changed much they've

00:26:32.730 --> 00:26:34.890
gotten a new lease of life and attack with the

00:26:34.890 --> 00:26:37.430
two youngsters. They've brought in sutrich They've

00:26:37.430 --> 00:26:39.569
brought in someone like a kanji for that more

00:26:39.569 --> 00:26:43.470
like it's on a chair BS kind of signing over

00:26:43.470 --> 00:26:50.130
there and Kivu is the the biggest change but

00:26:50.130 --> 00:26:53.130
when you have that level of continuity and you

00:26:53.130 --> 00:26:56.109
have maybe a manager that Alright, he has his

00:26:56.109 --> 00:26:59.150
style and it's clear that he's, you know, changed

00:26:59.150 --> 00:27:02.089
things up playing with a much higher line than

00:27:02.089 --> 00:27:07.190
Lemone used to play with. but that core is still

00:27:07.190 --> 00:27:09.809
they are still that dominant team that have been

00:27:09.809 --> 00:27:11.869
dominating Syria even though the titles don't

00:27:11.869 --> 00:27:13.849
show it for the past five seasons and have been

00:27:13.849 --> 00:27:17.509
the the best team in Syria apart from you know

00:27:17.509 --> 00:27:20.490
I say they weren't when Napoli won their initial

00:27:20.490 --> 00:27:23.589
Scudetto three seasons ago or whenever or whenever

00:27:23.589 --> 00:27:25.250
it was when they blew everyone out of the water

00:27:28.430 --> 00:27:30.369
That's the last time Inter were in the best team

00:27:30.369 --> 00:27:33.890
in the league. But at this moment, this is Inter's

00:27:33.890 --> 00:27:35.849
league and it's in their hands. They have the

00:27:35.849 --> 00:27:38.529
best team and they have a manager that reinforces

00:27:38.529 --> 00:27:42.650
them. And I would argue as well that the things

00:27:42.650 --> 00:27:45.250
that Kivo has been criticized for might actually

00:27:45.250 --> 00:27:48.430
be some of the best things, some of the best

00:27:48.430 --> 00:27:50.869
pieces of management that we have seen from him

00:27:50.869 --> 00:27:56.069
this season. For example, the way he insists

00:27:56.069 --> 00:28:00.259
on playing summer and goal every game. imagine

00:28:00.259 --> 00:28:04.339
by doing so he has maintained the hierarchies

00:28:04.339 --> 00:28:07.119
and the dressing room harmony sure you know what

00:28:07.119 --> 00:28:09.019
I mean that could be the case as well I mean

00:28:09.019 --> 00:28:12.000
granted the counter argument to that is that

00:28:12.000 --> 00:28:16.599
you are kind of letting the team know that mediocrity

00:28:16.599 --> 00:28:19.460
is accepted because at times Sommer has been

00:28:19.460 --> 00:28:24.539
mediocre and he's kind of putting out the message

00:28:24.539 --> 00:28:27.140
that listen You can make a mistake more than

00:28:27.140 --> 00:28:29.400
once and you will still remain the starter. Because

00:28:29.400 --> 00:28:31.279
how many times have we seen Sommerbrot spilling

00:28:31.279 --> 00:28:33.759
the ball into the pot of an oncoming striker?

00:28:34.759 --> 00:28:37.500
What's that quote from George Orwell's Animal

00:28:37.500 --> 00:28:40.940
Farm, bro? All animals are equal but some are

00:28:40.940 --> 00:28:45.150
more equal than others. Summer is one of the

00:28:45.150 --> 00:28:49.109
seniors of this team. He's one of the pigs, you

00:28:49.109 --> 00:28:52.329
know? He's Snowball. What was his name? Snowball.

00:28:52.490 --> 00:28:56.069
Summer Snowball. And when you have, and I don't

00:28:56.069 --> 00:28:57.549
know what he's like in the dressing room. He's

00:28:57.549 --> 00:28:59.730
probably a bit of a leader. Yeah, I would assume

00:28:59.730 --> 00:29:03.369
so. You know how it is on FM? I sold Devante

00:29:03.369 --> 00:29:09.309
Cole for Port Vale and everyone hated me for

00:29:09.309 --> 00:29:12.660
a good three months, man. like battling relegation

00:29:12.660 --> 00:29:14.740
to these two he's maintained the harmony and

00:29:14.740 --> 00:29:16.819
even for example everyone criticizing the high

00:29:16.819 --> 00:29:19.160
line because because he played a high line against

00:29:19.160 --> 00:29:22.140
Cuomo consisting of Bastogna, Cherubi and Akandji

00:29:22.140 --> 00:29:24.700
to be honest apart from the goals which granted

00:29:24.700 --> 00:29:27.039
one of them was directly caused from inter playing

00:29:27.039 --> 00:29:28.960
too much of a high line i don't i don't think

00:29:28.960 --> 00:29:31.240
they consisted too many clear cut chances against

00:29:31.240 --> 00:29:33.670
Cuomo and i think they they defended quite well

00:29:33.670 --> 00:29:36.289
to be honest you condense the pitch with their

00:29:36.289 --> 00:29:39.009
high line they fought fire with fire over here

00:29:39.009 --> 00:29:41.589
so you know that's what Como want to do and that's

00:29:41.589 --> 00:29:45.210
what interred it to Como and his halftime substitution

00:29:45.210 --> 00:29:48.829
of Carlos Augusto bringing him on for Bastoni

00:29:48.829 --> 00:29:52.430
was a was a very it was a smart one Bastoni is

00:29:52.430 --> 00:29:55.140
struggling right now um brother shall we move

00:29:55.140 --> 00:29:58.279
on yes we can uh let me just see if there is

00:29:58.279 --> 00:30:03.180
anything in my notes we mentioned more than we

00:30:03.180 --> 00:30:06.700
should have yeah so we have um inter of course

00:30:06.700 --> 00:30:09.119
in first place let me just confirm that this

00:30:09.119 --> 00:30:11.019
is this year's because sofa score has an interesting

00:30:11.019 --> 00:30:13.259
global glitch where it shows you the league table

00:30:13.259 --> 00:30:16.279
from the 70s but this is fine so inter are first

00:30:16.279 --> 00:30:19.180
with 75 points while coma are in fifth with 58

00:30:19.180 --> 00:30:22.220
points there was one More point. Barela, fun

00:30:22.220 --> 00:30:24.920
fact, ex -Como. And they booed him. Yes, yes.

00:30:25.240 --> 00:30:27.299
And how many of those fans were actually there

00:30:27.299 --> 00:30:30.839
when they booed him? No, no, no, I know, but

00:30:30.839 --> 00:30:33.099
like it's ridiculous that you'd boo him. He was

00:30:33.099 --> 00:30:35.559
a child when he was at Como and he's playing

00:30:35.559 --> 00:30:39.130
for Inter. You know, one of the top three. You're

00:30:39.130 --> 00:30:40.950
meant to applaud a player like that. Exactly.

00:30:41.329 --> 00:30:43.990
Thank you for gracing our score. You think Birmingham

00:30:43.990 --> 00:30:46.410
are going to boo Jude Bellingham, bro? You're

00:30:46.410 --> 00:30:51.430
taking the piss. They should reserve his shirt

00:30:51.430 --> 00:30:54.289
number. You know, the guy won multiple Scudetti.

00:30:54.769 --> 00:31:00.380
Anyway, Milan nil Odinese. three bro um absolutely

00:31:00.380 --> 00:31:04.539
crazy um i can't describe the feeling of what

00:31:04.539 --> 00:31:07.160
it was like watching this game as a milan fan

00:31:07.160 --> 00:31:10.539
it was this i was a hollow shell of a of a man

00:31:10.539 --> 00:31:13.180
and it reminded me too much of milan last season

00:31:13.180 --> 00:31:16.319
and in that penultimate season of purely where

00:31:16.319 --> 00:31:19.480
you'd lose five two to sauce wall or i think

00:31:19.480 --> 00:31:22.819
they lost four one to odineza as well that year

00:31:22.819 --> 00:31:27.160
um but if from a neutral perspective there's

00:31:27.200 --> 00:31:30.700
there was a lot to enjoy because it was an underdog

00:31:30.700 --> 00:31:34.900
playing at a sold -out San Siro and they absolutely

00:31:34.900 --> 00:31:39.000
devoured Milan and that's four losses in the

00:31:39.000 --> 00:31:41.880
last seven games for Milan before that they had

00:31:41.880 --> 00:31:44.380
only lost one game all season bro and then the

00:31:44.380 --> 00:31:47.619
last seven games four losses and this is actually

00:31:47.619 --> 00:31:50.660
their first successive losses of the season so

00:31:50.660 --> 00:31:53.720
they've now lost two in a row and now with top

00:31:53.720 --> 00:31:58.230
four in Jeopardy No absentees for Milan unless

00:31:58.230 --> 00:32:00.789
we are counting Leao's talent because that was

00:32:00.789 --> 00:32:04.680
definitely an absentee in this game. last week

00:32:04.680 --> 00:32:08.079
I said this season Udinese have beaten Inter,

00:32:08.359 --> 00:32:11.799
Roma, Napoli, Fiorentina and Atalanta this week

00:32:11.799 --> 00:32:15.160
I'm gonna say Udinese have beaten Inter, Roma,

00:32:15.299 --> 00:32:18.519
Napoli, Fiorentina, Atalanta and Milan this season

00:32:18.519 --> 00:32:21.759
as they continue to be the giant slayers it is

00:32:21.759 --> 00:32:24.339
no longer Sassuolo it is Inter and in this game

00:32:24.339 --> 00:32:27.380
they missed Zanoli, Zamora and Davis the previous

00:32:27.380 --> 00:32:29.680
encounter between these two sides was an away

00:32:29.680 --> 00:32:32.400
3 -0 victory for Milan that's absolutely crazy

00:32:32.400 --> 00:32:37.529
so it goes to penalty It was a 4 -3 -3, at least

00:32:37.529 --> 00:32:41.089
on paper, for Milan, for Allegri's Milan. It

00:32:41.089 --> 00:32:44.569
was a new look. Mike Mannian in goal, back line

00:32:44.569 --> 00:32:48.529
of Athekame, De Winter, Pavlovic, Barthesagi,

00:32:49.049 --> 00:32:52.289
Mitvijl 3 of Rabiot, Modric and Ricci, and the

00:32:52.289 --> 00:32:54.910
front three of Pulisic, Leao and Salamakars.

00:32:55.250 --> 00:32:57.930
In case you're wondering, Leao was the number

00:32:57.930 --> 00:33:03.069
9. 5 -4 -1 formation for Rune Eichsmann, Madhu,

00:33:03.150 --> 00:33:06.730
Maduka Okoye in goal, back line of Ezebue, Christensen,

00:33:06.849 --> 00:33:10.789
Cabasele, Soler and Kamara, midfield four of

00:33:10.789 --> 00:33:13.910
Zaniolo, Karlstrom, Atta and Ekelingkamp with

00:33:13.910 --> 00:33:18.109
Keenan Davis up front. The opener came in the

00:33:18.109 --> 00:33:21.289
27th minute when Zaniolo drove forward and set

00:33:21.289 --> 00:33:24.470
up Atta, whose deflected effort off of Bartasagi

00:33:24.470 --> 00:33:27.970
wrong -footed Mannian and went in. Just 10 minutes

00:33:27.970 --> 00:33:30.230
later Zaniolo was once again involved whipping

00:33:30.230 --> 00:33:33.210
in a cross for Eklinkamp to head in home and

00:33:33.210 --> 00:33:36.990
double the lead Milan's defenders just absolutely

00:33:36.990 --> 00:33:41.640
nowhere Milan never recovered, at no point did

00:33:41.640 --> 00:33:44.500
Milan look like they were recovering or doing

00:33:44.500 --> 00:33:47.500
anything remotely right. And in the 71st minute

00:33:47.500 --> 00:33:50.380
Atta sealed the result, finishing a quick counter

00:33:50.380 --> 00:33:52.779
attack with a low strike into the near corner.

00:33:54.440 --> 00:34:00.000
Just a brilliant Tony Kroos -esque finish, and

00:34:00.000 --> 00:34:02.819
Mannion had no chance, he can be criticised that

00:34:02.819 --> 00:34:06.000
it's at his near post, but... Brilliant finish.

00:34:07.000 --> 00:34:08.800
It almost looked like it was destined to hit

00:34:08.800 --> 00:34:10.679
the post. It couldn't have been closer to the

00:34:10.679 --> 00:34:12.539
post without hitting it, is the best way to put

00:34:12.539 --> 00:34:16.920
it. Now there's so much to talk about over here

00:34:16.920 --> 00:34:19.420
when it comes to what could have gone wrong for

00:34:19.420 --> 00:34:21.659
Milan. Bear with me, I'm just going to speak

00:34:21.659 --> 00:34:24.440
and try to structure this and go through it.

00:34:25.079 --> 00:34:27.940
So there were structural and individual errors,

00:34:28.019 --> 00:34:32.360
but the biggest problem was Milan totally disconnecting

00:34:32.360 --> 00:34:35.219
under pressure. It's one thing conceding a goal

00:34:35.219 --> 00:34:38.280
and conceding two, you know, you concede two

00:34:38.280 --> 00:34:40.079
in quick succession. It's normal in football.

00:34:40.119 --> 00:34:43.800
It happened to Inter this week, but The attitude

00:34:43.800 --> 00:34:47.360
shift that Milan went through when going 2 -0

00:34:47.360 --> 00:34:49.659
down was disastrous. I don't think there was

00:34:49.659 --> 00:34:54.360
one fucking player on the pitch that took the

00:34:54.360 --> 00:34:57.059
opportunity, took the game by the scruff of its

00:34:57.059 --> 00:35:00.760
neck and went, boys, we've got this. No Rabiot,

00:35:00.920 --> 00:35:04.679
no Modric, no Leão, no Pulisic, nobody to say,

00:35:05.260 --> 00:35:09.250
guys... We can do this and like try drag the

00:35:09.250 --> 00:35:11.590
ball forward try to create something something

00:35:11.590 --> 00:35:14.630
now the the players are clearly the one demoralized

00:35:14.630 --> 00:35:18.389
now while Allegri of course insists on Trying

00:35:18.389 --> 00:35:21.670
to take the pressure of the players by saying

00:35:21.670 --> 00:35:23.809
that top four is the ultimate objective in the

00:35:23.809 --> 00:35:27.309
media It is clear that behind closed doors top

00:35:27.309 --> 00:35:30.309
four was not solely the objective and that the

00:35:30.309 --> 00:35:34.440
players did dream of winning the league and seeing

00:35:34.440 --> 00:35:41.159
this total collapse both regarding individual

00:35:41.159 --> 00:35:44.019
players and performances and also the fact that

00:35:44.019 --> 00:35:46.800
Allegri decided to go for something new almost

00:35:46.800 --> 00:35:50.090
as though almost as if to say we need to change

00:35:50.090 --> 00:35:52.409
because we haven't been good enough when in reality

00:35:52.409 --> 00:35:54.369
you know according to his words in the media

00:35:54.369 --> 00:35:56.889
Milan are in line with their objectives you know

00:35:56.889 --> 00:35:59.030
they're they're in line for top four you know

00:35:59.030 --> 00:36:01.630
they shouldn't have come into this game so demoralized

00:36:01.630 --> 00:36:03.389
and they shouldn't have absolutely collapsed

00:36:03.389 --> 00:36:07.190
after the first goal went in yet it is it is

00:36:07.190 --> 00:36:10.349
clear to see that this team is demoralized and

00:36:10.349 --> 00:36:13.429
they need to kind of come back down to earth

00:36:13.429 --> 00:36:16.489
and to understand that listen We are five points

00:36:16.489 --> 00:36:21.349
safe off of not qualifying for Europe, for Champions

00:36:21.349 --> 00:36:24.769
League. This is our objective and we need to

00:36:24.769 --> 00:36:26.110
put our heads down and work and make sure we

00:36:26.110 --> 00:36:28.510
get it before we ruin all the work of an entire

00:36:28.510 --> 00:36:31.670
season. And it's allegory changing the system

00:36:31.670 --> 00:36:34.309
already put a lot of pressure on the players.

00:36:35.329 --> 00:36:37.789
The players going out there and performing like

00:36:37.789 --> 00:36:41.329
that with Rabiot looking so disinterested More

00:36:41.329 --> 00:36:43.909
interested in a physical duel he was having with

00:36:43.909 --> 00:36:46.769
Davis. He just spent the entire time shoulder

00:36:46.769 --> 00:36:50.730
barging Davis. That was his game. The fans putting

00:36:50.730 --> 00:36:54.909
even more pressure by booing Léo and apparently

00:36:54.909 --> 00:36:57.190
there were also fans who booed Léo when his name

00:36:57.190 --> 00:37:00.710
was called at the start like before on the prompt

00:37:00.710 --> 00:37:05.289
or whatever. These are all talking points that

00:37:05.289 --> 00:37:10.670
I have and I'd like to kind of get to them. Question

00:37:10.670 --> 00:37:13.409
number one, was it really a 4 -3 -3 for Milan?

00:37:13.789 --> 00:37:18.630
What the hell was that? So it was a 4 -3 -3.

00:37:18.650 --> 00:37:21.010
It was a very weird looking 4 -3 -3 because at

00:37:21.010 --> 00:37:22.889
the end of the day Leão and Pulisic were playing

00:37:22.889 --> 00:37:26.030
off the same flank. But in defence, Milan were

00:37:26.030 --> 00:37:30.170
defending with two centre backs and there was...

00:37:30.329 --> 00:37:34.170
it feels like one center back was removed but

00:37:34.170 --> 00:37:37.170
the game plan didn't actually change because

00:37:37.170 --> 00:37:40.289
you see Pavlovich for example still going forward

00:37:40.289 --> 00:37:43.650
and marauding forward leaving the winter on his

00:37:43.650 --> 00:37:46.130
own and you can't do that when you're when you're

00:37:46.130 --> 00:37:50.670
part of a back two so I think yes it was technically

00:37:50.670 --> 00:37:53.750
a 4 -3 -3 on the pitch however in the offensive

00:37:53.750 --> 00:37:56.130
phase there still wasn't a number nine man and

00:37:56.130 --> 00:37:58.929
that's the that completely defeats the purpose

00:37:58.929 --> 00:38:00.829
and not only that there wasn't a number nine

00:38:00.829 --> 00:38:03.610
so you're right to say it Polisik and Lea were

00:38:03.610 --> 00:38:05.969
occupying the same area and they both kind of

00:38:06.469 --> 00:38:10.289
want to do the same thing. They want to get the

00:38:10.289 --> 00:38:12.269
ball from out wide and bring it into the box.

00:38:12.550 --> 00:38:15.389
That is what they both excelled at and it was

00:38:15.389 --> 00:38:16.909
almost like they were both crashing into each

00:38:16.909 --> 00:38:18.550
other on that side. And then on the other side

00:38:18.550 --> 00:38:21.329
what did you have? You had Atekame and Salamakers.

00:38:21.409 --> 00:38:23.889
If you look at the heat map Atekame was more

00:38:23.889 --> 00:38:26.389
advanced than Salamakers in the average position

00:38:26.389 --> 00:38:29.050
and they also want to do the same thing. They

00:38:29.050 --> 00:38:31.260
want to get the ball from deep and they want

00:38:31.260 --> 00:38:33.420
to take their man on and they want to attack

00:38:33.420 --> 00:38:36.059
and get a cross in so both of them do so you

00:38:36.059 --> 00:38:39.380
had one side doing one thing and the other doing

00:38:39.380 --> 00:38:41.539
the same thing and then one side doing the same

00:38:41.539 --> 00:38:44.340
thing but my my problem with that and then is

00:38:44.340 --> 00:38:48.159
that all the quality is on one side no no exactly

00:38:48.159 --> 00:38:50.320
yeah so you have a more defensive wing then you

00:38:50.320 --> 00:38:52.460
have one very offensive wing because then even

00:38:52.460 --> 00:38:55.280
Bartasagi isn't exactly someone that just that

00:38:55.280 --> 00:38:58.159
just sits back in addition to that you're playing

00:38:58.159 --> 00:39:02.420
a four at the back for the first time The only

00:39:02.420 --> 00:39:06.179
defender in Milan squad right now that is fit

00:39:06.179 --> 00:39:09.619
who has played a four at the back before Successfully

00:39:09.619 --> 00:39:12.260
wasn't on the pitch and it's Tomori. Yeah, they

00:39:12.260 --> 00:39:16.360
were playing Pavlovic and the winter I'm sorry,

00:39:16.440 --> 00:39:18.619
but that that that doesn't that doesn't make

00:39:18.619 --> 00:39:22.519
sense. And then Lea was the number nine It just

00:39:22.519 --> 00:39:24.659
feels like and I've seen this with Allegri in

00:39:24.659 --> 00:39:27.980
the past when it comes to personnel he tends

00:39:27.980 --> 00:39:32.000
to play players in positions he just decides

00:39:32.000 --> 00:39:37.079
Leo you're a number nine Manzuchic you're a winger

00:39:37.079 --> 00:39:40.159
and Ricci you're not a regista even though Pep

00:39:40.159 --> 00:39:42.579
Guardiola wanted you as a regista you were the

00:39:42.579 --> 00:39:45.619
starting regista of the Nazionale you were the

00:39:45.619 --> 00:39:47.980
captain of Torino by playing regista and everyone

00:39:47.980 --> 00:39:50.760
in the league wanted you Inter, Alla Milan, Juve,

00:39:50.960 --> 00:39:55.239
Pep Guardiola everyone now no he's off We need

00:39:55.239 --> 00:39:57.059
him as a box to box, but in order for him to

00:39:57.059 --> 00:39:58.679
play as a box to box, he needs to get more physical.

00:39:58.940 --> 00:40:01.840
So it's completely changed how Richie plays football

00:40:01.840 --> 00:40:05.139
now. And it just seems like players aren't being

00:40:05.139 --> 00:40:07.860
played to their strengths. That was the case

00:40:07.860 --> 00:40:11.079
in point. This is interesting because it's it's

00:40:11.079 --> 00:40:13.639
100 % true. And we saw it as well, for example,

00:40:13.780 --> 00:40:16.000
last season at Juve with Chiesa, for example.

00:40:17.380 --> 00:40:22.360
Wing back. Yeah. However, I am still of the belief

00:40:22.360 --> 00:40:27.059
that Allegri has this group over performing because

00:40:27.059 --> 00:40:29.500
especially when you look at how it's gone with

00:40:29.500 --> 00:40:31.619
Pulisic and Leo in this latter part of the season

00:40:31.619 --> 00:40:35.860
and when you look at for example how the defense

00:40:35.860 --> 00:40:39.880
collapses when you put them in a back two. Obviously

00:40:39.880 --> 00:40:43.420
he has managed to do God's work I think with

00:40:43.420 --> 00:40:45.659
this squad. Of course he has his limitations

00:40:45.659 --> 00:40:48.300
and he has his quirks I think but obviously he

00:40:48.300 --> 00:40:52.610
sees elements to a player's game that he likes

00:40:52.610 --> 00:40:56.769
for his system and he prioritizes those over

00:40:56.769 --> 00:40:58.570
what the public think of the player, what the

00:40:58.570 --> 00:41:00.329
player thinks of himself to be honest. Sure,

00:41:00.949 --> 00:41:04.110
which I mean at the end of the day look you can

00:41:04.110 --> 00:41:07.050
criticize Allegri, you can also criticize that

00:41:07.050 --> 00:41:09.429
Allegri doesn't yet have the squad that he wants.

00:41:09.690 --> 00:41:11.710
I would go so far as to criticize the players

00:41:11.710 --> 00:41:14.889
personally in this game. Doesn't mean Allegri

00:41:14.889 --> 00:41:17.030
wasn't wrong to do certain things. I just ranted

00:41:17.030 --> 00:41:19.369
a bit about where he was playing players and

00:41:19.369 --> 00:41:22.929
how he didn't play Tomori in a back four. But

00:41:22.929 --> 00:41:26.869
the attitude of these players was abysmal and

00:41:26.869 --> 00:41:30.130
I want to jump a bit to Leao getting booed. Now

00:41:30.130 --> 00:41:33.099
of course Leao isn't playing in his favorite

00:41:33.099 --> 00:41:36.300
position something is wrong with him from a fitness

00:41:36.300 --> 00:41:39.920
perspective so it's not completely all on layout

00:41:39.920 --> 00:41:42.340
these are things that are out of layout's control

00:41:42.340 --> 00:41:45.659
the only thing that is within layout's control

00:41:45.659 --> 00:41:47.639
in my opinion is completely wrong though and

00:41:47.639 --> 00:41:51.760
it's his attitude and we say this often at a

00:41:51.760 --> 00:41:55.039
point i just thought it was a swagger and i'm

00:41:55.039 --> 00:41:57.820
like let me not look into this too much the way

00:41:57.820 --> 00:41:59.719
that he walks and shakes his head and doesn't

00:41:59.719 --> 00:42:03.679
chase the ball Maybe it's an instruction that

00:42:03.679 --> 00:42:06.860
he's not chasing Maybe the way that he walks

00:42:06.860 --> 00:42:13.460
is just his swagger I gave him the benefit of

00:42:13.460 --> 00:42:17.159
the doubt but over and over again every week

00:42:17.159 --> 00:42:20.019
you see his bad attitude you see his lack of

00:42:20.019 --> 00:42:22.219
concentration and you see his lack of ability

00:42:22.219 --> 00:42:25.920
when he's not at a hundred percent fitness and

00:42:25.920 --> 00:42:28.159
he's bombing down the left flank and they're

00:42:28.159 --> 00:42:30.199
playing a high line because that's when Lea always

00:42:30.199 --> 00:42:34.500
is is world -class but this this game even number

00:42:34.500 --> 00:42:38.530
10 goes up Udinese are subbing out Zaniolo he

00:42:38.530 --> 00:42:40.690
sees the number 10 he's like it's obviously me

00:42:40.690 --> 00:42:42.210
because i've been playing shit and he starts

00:42:42.210 --> 00:42:44.690
taking his shin guards off and and walking off

00:42:44.690 --> 00:42:48.230
the pitch brother focus it's not you bro it's

00:42:48.230 --> 00:42:51.610
not it like head in the fucking game man and

00:42:51.610 --> 00:42:54.989
and he goes down but wouldn't the counter argument

00:42:54.989 --> 00:42:56.789
to that be if leah's head wasn't in the game

00:42:56.789 --> 00:42:58.530
he wouldn't have even noticed the number going

00:42:58.530 --> 00:43:02.929
up no bro no no he's bro he needs to be locked

00:43:02.929 --> 00:43:07.650
in that needs to be the his No, like it's it's

00:43:07.650 --> 00:43:09.650
it's ridiculous Everyone should notice that obviously

00:43:09.650 --> 00:43:12.550
there's a substitution going on if you mistake

00:43:12.550 --> 00:43:14.469
you do one substitute There's another player

00:43:14.469 --> 00:43:16.590
going off. The number doesn't match the number

00:43:16.590 --> 00:43:18.429
of anyone that should that is replacing I think

00:43:18.429 --> 00:43:21.889
it was a number 24. Oh, no, it doesn't he's he's

00:43:21.889 --> 00:43:26.010
disconnected The fact they was doing everything

00:43:26.010 --> 00:43:28.809
so slowly while looking away and and his body

00:43:28.809 --> 00:43:31.409
language man definitely doesn't do him any favors

00:43:31.409 --> 00:43:34.590
I mean, it's fine to have dips in informant,

00:43:34.590 --> 00:43:38.000
but But when you when you carry yourself in such

00:43:38.000 --> 00:43:40.860
a way you're inviting criticism and layout is

00:43:40.860 --> 00:43:43.679
The papers call him a sensitive player You know

00:43:43.679 --> 00:43:45.400
what? I mean a player who is extremely affected

00:43:45.400 --> 00:43:48.380
by booze and by criticism who often replies on

00:43:48.380 --> 00:43:50.579
social media and puts these things out So you

00:43:50.579 --> 00:43:52.719
might want to do yourself a favor and carry yourself

00:43:52.940 --> 00:43:54.980
with a little bit more urgency when your team

00:43:54.980 --> 00:43:57.639
is getting absolutely roasted. And if you're

00:43:57.639 --> 00:43:59.900
getting a foul is called against you, you don't

00:43:59.900 --> 00:44:01.460
clap to the referee because everyone knows that

00:44:01.460 --> 00:44:03.179
that's an obvious yellow card. And the thing

00:44:03.179 --> 00:44:05.300
is, there's another thing, he was clapping at

00:44:05.300 --> 00:44:07.679
the referee. The referee didn't see him and he

00:44:07.679 --> 00:44:10.820
kept clapping until the ref sees him. Like it's

00:44:10.820 --> 00:44:14.780
just a shit attitude. It reminds me of that stubborn

00:44:14.780 --> 00:44:17.199
kid when I was playing under 12s at Melita, bro.

00:44:17.300 --> 00:44:20.559
You know what I mean? That just a guy that sulks

00:44:20.559 --> 00:44:22.659
too much, a guy with a bad attitude. and this

00:44:22.659 --> 00:44:26.340
isn't this isn't what Milan stands for and he's

00:44:26.340 --> 00:44:28.380
he's booed and I think it's always wrong to boo

00:44:28.380 --> 00:44:32.480
one of your own but but you know what man I think

00:44:32.480 --> 00:44:35.079
you shouldn't fucking ask for it first and foremost

00:44:35.079 --> 00:44:37.619
because it's one thing like Barella he's having

00:44:37.619 --> 00:44:40.280
a tough time your time but he's but he's chasing

00:44:40.280 --> 00:44:48.409
every ball down he's trying his best I think

00:44:48.409 --> 00:44:50.730
that the of course his attitude doesn't help

00:44:50.730 --> 00:44:54.769
whatsoever but the fact that he does not make

00:44:54.769 --> 00:44:57.949
remotely anywhere near enough runs for a number

00:44:57.949 --> 00:45:00.530
nine if you are a number nine and that relies

00:45:00.530 --> 00:45:05.289
on your pace and your your pace quite frankly

00:45:05.289 --> 00:45:08.869
right to run in behind you need to be making

00:45:08.869 --> 00:45:11.360
more runs than that and you need to be chasing

00:45:11.360 --> 00:45:14.039
the ball more and and when those balls fucking

00:45:14.039 --> 00:45:16.480
finally make their way to you and you connect

00:45:16.480 --> 00:45:18.380
with them try to get them on target don't clear

00:45:18.380 --> 00:45:21.940
them off how didn't I mention that bro a cross

00:45:21.940 --> 00:45:23.920
comes in the easiest finish in the world and

00:45:23.920 --> 00:45:26.699
he tries to hit it forward and goes backwards

00:45:26.699 --> 00:45:28.980
and another one a cross came in he headed the

00:45:28.980 --> 00:45:31.039
ball and bounced out of the box so no this is

00:45:31.039 --> 00:45:32.960
a joke okay well what's he doing in the box as

00:45:32.960 --> 00:45:35.039
the nine there's Santiago Jimenez who's in full

00:45:35.039 --> 00:45:37.300
fitness you bought full Krug just play full Krug

00:45:37.300 --> 00:45:38.900
you need a number nine bro even Gabia there would

00:45:38.900 --> 00:45:41.280
do better I'm gonna be honest fucking even Mike

00:45:41.280 --> 00:45:43.119
Manon there would do better I'm not even taking

00:45:43.119 --> 00:45:45.760
the piss bro and last week we're gonna because

00:45:45.760 --> 00:45:48.579
we forgot this last week he was fighting Allegri

00:45:48.750 --> 00:45:54.070
for substituting him come on man it's just it's

00:45:54.070 --> 00:45:56.849
just a bad attitude that he's a milan legend

00:45:56.849 --> 00:45:59.530
leo is a milan legend because when they won the

00:45:59.530 --> 00:46:02.309
league he was the guy and he's a milan fan you

00:46:02.309 --> 00:46:05.130
can tell it and he when a teammate is struggling

00:46:05.130 --> 00:46:07.750
and leo scores he goes and celebrates with him

00:46:07.750 --> 00:46:10.809
but when things start going wrongly for him bro

00:46:10.809 --> 00:46:13.610
he doesn't fucking help himself but anyway jump

00:46:13.610 --> 00:46:16.650
to the bigger picture a little bit Milan are

00:46:16.650 --> 00:46:19.289
now suddenly, as you tell from the artwork of

00:46:19.289 --> 00:46:24.250
this episode, now top four is in jeopardy for

00:46:24.250 --> 00:46:27.969
Milan because Juve are three points behind Milan.

00:46:28.090 --> 00:46:30.789
Correct me if I'm wrong. Juve are three points

00:46:30.789 --> 00:46:34.349
behind Milan and Como are five points behind

00:46:34.349 --> 00:46:37.030
Milan. Now with six games to go, Milan should

00:46:37.030 --> 00:46:39.090
have it in the bag. No, in two games' time Milan

00:46:39.090 --> 00:46:42.059
play Juve. I can tell you from now Milan are

00:46:42.059 --> 00:46:44.460
not gonna win that game and once Milan don't

00:46:44.460 --> 00:46:47.500
win that game they're in fourth or tied fourth

00:46:47.500 --> 00:46:51.440
slash tied third whatever with Como two points

00:46:51.440 --> 00:46:55.340
behind them with four games to go that is the

00:46:55.340 --> 00:46:57.960
situation Milan currently find the next game

00:46:57.960 --> 00:47:00.519
against Hellas Verona is massive for Milan they're

00:47:00.519 --> 00:47:05.559
going away to Verona who have been doggy they've

00:47:05.559 --> 00:47:10.349
been bad I'm sorry everyone but This is the opportunity

00:47:10.349 --> 00:47:12.530
for Milan to bounce back and to get some confidence.

00:47:12.949 --> 00:47:14.909
It's not going to be easy whatsoever, these guys

00:47:14.909 --> 00:47:16.670
are still fighting for their lives technically,

00:47:16.789 --> 00:47:20.460
but... but this is the game for them to bounce

00:47:20.460 --> 00:47:22.340
back and to get some confidence ahead of ahead

00:47:22.340 --> 00:47:24.179
of the uva game i wouldn't confidently say that

00:47:24.179 --> 00:47:25.780
milan are not going to win the uva game because

00:47:25.780 --> 00:47:29.280
if they actually do um change if they do alter

00:47:29.280 --> 00:47:31.480
their mentality and say okay we need to fight

00:47:31.480 --> 00:47:33.519
for this top four and and they find this spirit

00:47:33.519 --> 00:47:36.460
that has worked for the vast majority of the

00:47:36.460 --> 00:47:39.360
season then in reality man milan going to that

00:47:39.360 --> 00:47:41.320
game is the favorites because they have been

00:47:41.320 --> 00:47:44.300
so good but form wise like when you look at milan

00:47:44.300 --> 00:47:47.000
losing four of their last seven versus uva haven't

00:47:47.000 --> 00:47:49.920
lost in six matches I don't think Milan would

00:47:49.920 --> 00:47:51.699
be considered favourites. Can I also make one

00:47:51.699 --> 00:47:54.219
point because I thought that this was quite a

00:47:54.219 --> 00:47:59.039
poetic game. You have Milan moving away from

00:47:59.039 --> 00:48:02.360
a three at the back system that had them as Scudetto

00:48:02.360 --> 00:48:05.139
contenders for for quite a while quite late into

00:48:05.139 --> 00:48:07.000
the season okay Scudetto contenders and they

00:48:07.000 --> 00:48:08.760
were they were there you know they weren't mathematically

00:48:08.760 --> 00:48:13.960
out. They abandoned that to go for a 4 -3 -3

00:48:13.960 --> 00:48:16.800
because of perhaps pressure from the media, I

00:48:16.800 --> 00:48:18.420
think that would play a massive part, pressure

00:48:18.420 --> 00:48:20.199
from the media, Allegri, every press conference

00:48:20.199 --> 00:48:23.059
was asked about the 433 and every press conference

00:48:23.059 --> 00:48:26.739
and eventually he moved away from the fundamentals

00:48:26.739 --> 00:48:29.760
of his system that have worked so well up to

00:48:29.760 --> 00:48:34.340
this point. They faced a team that plays that

00:48:34.340 --> 00:48:37.480
exact system and plays it so well and has also

00:48:37.480 --> 00:48:40.079
found success in that system, of course, Udinese

00:48:40.079 --> 00:48:42.179
play a three at the back and they have been playing

00:48:42.179 --> 00:48:44.380
a three at the back ever since I can remember.

00:48:45.960 --> 00:48:49.619
they tried to be proactive they tried to take

00:48:49.619 --> 00:48:52.500
the game to Udinese Udinese absorbed and they

00:48:52.500 --> 00:48:55.780
hit them on the break in the exact same way Milan

00:48:55.780 --> 00:48:58.159
have done for the majority of the season it was

00:48:58.159 --> 00:49:00.880
so poetic that they went against what has worked

00:49:00.880 --> 00:49:04.420
for them so long only to hit a wall that was

00:49:04.539 --> 00:49:07.599
themselves two weeks ago absolutely man absolutely

00:49:07.599 --> 00:49:09.619
yeah you hit the nail on the head it was the

00:49:09.619 --> 00:49:11.800
allegory blueprint that that worked against them

00:49:11.800 --> 00:49:14.139
let's let's jump to the neza a little bit in

00:49:14.139 --> 00:49:17.940
fact um i mean they they just won their duels

00:49:17.940 --> 00:49:21.139
in this game it seemed like every time they dispossessed

00:49:21.139 --> 00:49:23.820
milan that they had an opportunity to go for

00:49:23.820 --> 00:49:26.780
the victory and now sorry to go to to go for

00:49:26.780 --> 00:49:31.210
the goal and um just they stretched Milan so

00:49:31.210 --> 00:49:33.849
as in when they were attacking and it's typically

00:49:33.849 --> 00:49:36.030
Zanjolo running through the middle it didn't

00:49:36.030 --> 00:49:37.670
look like Milan were playing a midfield three

00:49:37.670 --> 00:49:39.849
with the way Zanjolo was just ripping through

00:49:39.849 --> 00:49:44.380
the middle because Rabiot for his big size and

00:49:44.380 --> 00:49:46.920
physicality and whatever, he does not put in

00:49:46.920 --> 00:49:50.019
a shift defensively. Depends on how motivated

00:49:50.019 --> 00:49:54.219
he is. I rarely see him winning the ball. When

00:49:54.219 --> 00:49:57.920
he first arrived, those few games, when he first

00:49:57.920 --> 00:50:00.099
arrived at Milan, he would duel, man. He would

00:50:00.099 --> 00:50:03.239
duel in the middle. Duels, yes. Duels, yes. But

00:50:03.239 --> 00:50:07.079
like track back. He's not very involved in that

00:50:07.079 --> 00:50:09.000
phase. He's actually quite involved in the transition

00:50:09.000 --> 00:50:13.840
phase on the contrary. um but you see the the

00:50:13.840 --> 00:50:15.900
wings were so exposed i don't know if it was

00:50:15.900 --> 00:50:18.519
an instruction by alegri hey since we're playing

00:50:18.519 --> 00:50:21.440
a a two center back system instead of a three

00:50:21.440 --> 00:50:24.340
center back system barthazagi come in closer

00:50:24.340 --> 00:50:26.460
to the center backs when you're defending but

00:50:26.460 --> 00:50:31.000
as a result atta completely unmarked over there

00:50:31.000 --> 00:50:34.079
um on the on the right hand side and they just

00:50:34.079 --> 00:50:38.039
they just put away their chances i mean and they

00:50:38.039 --> 00:50:41.570
could have had way more they hit the post with

00:50:41.570 --> 00:50:44.090
them I forgot who it was but Mike saved it onto

00:50:44.090 --> 00:50:47.530
the post they had a number of opportunities absolutely

00:50:47.530 --> 00:50:49.809
killed Milan and they've become the giant slayers

00:50:49.809 --> 00:50:54.110
of the season and also obviously Maduka Okoie

00:50:54.110 --> 00:50:56.329
produced a fucking one of the saves of the season

00:50:56.329 --> 00:50:59.610
on Salamander Makers half volley from outside

00:50:59.610 --> 00:51:03.420
the box man yeah yeah they they played they played

00:51:03.420 --> 00:51:05.900
wonderfully man and i thought that zaniolo was

00:51:05.900 --> 00:51:08.699
at the top of his game totally um those is against

00:51:08.699 --> 00:51:10.699
milan because milan had refused to sign him once

00:51:10.699 --> 00:51:12.980
when he was available in january from roma and

00:51:12.980 --> 00:51:15.179
i think since then he's and he's and he's currently

00:51:15.179 --> 00:51:18.139
linked to milan as well davis demonstrated exactly

00:51:18.139 --> 00:51:20.719
what milan don't have exactly a hold -up striker

00:51:20.719 --> 00:51:23.860
who's strong and can just you know lead the line

00:51:26.159 --> 00:51:28.059
Eklincamp was brilliant as well and they were

00:51:28.059 --> 00:51:30.059
just so physical and hard to play against, man.

00:51:30.519 --> 00:51:32.579
And Richie, you barely noticed, Richie spent

00:51:32.579 --> 00:51:36.599
the whole game hiding in fields. And like you

00:51:36.599 --> 00:51:39.300
said, the lack of defensive contribution from

00:51:39.300 --> 00:51:41.780
the midfield made it really easy for Udinese

00:51:41.780 --> 00:51:45.070
to progress. Comment from Daniel and we'll move

00:51:45.070 --> 00:51:48.289
on. Do you stick with Allegri ball if you finish

00:51:48.289 --> 00:51:51.190
fifth? It's one thing falling asleep when you

00:51:51.190 --> 00:51:55.349
wake up to a 1 -0 win but what happens when Allegri's

00:51:55.349 --> 00:51:59.429
luck runs out? An exact replica of his last year

00:51:59.429 --> 00:52:02.510
at Juve. Yes, with Juve I believe for a while

00:52:02.510 --> 00:52:06.289
he was on one loss three seasons ago and then

00:52:06.289 --> 00:52:10.690
in January -February after he got thumped. by

00:52:10.690 --> 00:52:15.530
inter that gap started to increase and do i stick

00:52:15.530 --> 00:52:18.570
with yes i do stick to allegri ball at least

00:52:18.570 --> 00:52:21.769
for two three seasons and because of the transition

00:52:21.769 --> 00:52:24.769
the club is currently going through remove allegri

00:52:24.769 --> 00:52:27.869
system and what you get what we had last season

00:52:28.900 --> 00:52:34.119
Hope not The system and I said this at the start

00:52:34.119 --> 00:52:36.619
when Milan just appointed Allegri It's gonna

00:52:36.619 --> 00:52:39.179
be great when Milan are winning the second Milan

00:52:39.179 --> 00:52:41.460
go through a slightly negative spell and they're

00:52:41.460 --> 00:52:43.940
not even playing nice football Then it's gonna

00:52:43.940 --> 00:52:48.280
look even shittier than it is So, you know Milan

00:52:48.539 --> 00:52:50.860
we're playing like shit or unattractive football

00:52:50.860 --> 00:52:53.019
and winning games and now they're playing shit

00:52:53.019 --> 00:52:55.000
unattractive football and they're losing games

00:52:55.000 --> 00:52:57.019
the difference is the result we're not seeing

00:52:57.019 --> 00:53:00.360
a huge dip we saw a dip in the attitude of the

00:53:00.360 --> 00:53:03.579
of the players but shot like milan stopped performing

00:53:03.579 --> 00:53:09.559
um so so i stick with allegory i i trust in allegory

00:53:09.559 --> 00:53:12.400
and i give allegory more players that that he

00:53:12.400 --> 00:53:14.960
wants to perfect his system because he needs

00:53:14.960 --> 00:53:18.239
a striker he needs a defender and he probably

00:53:18.239 --> 00:53:21.860
needs a wing back for example I think the the

00:53:21.860 --> 00:53:23.940
question is does Allegri want to stick with Milan

00:53:23.940 --> 00:53:29.260
because there was a A comment, a report that

00:53:29.260 --> 00:53:33.340
said that Allegri was told there was no budget

00:53:33.340 --> 00:53:36.079
for the January market and then out of nowhere

00:53:36.079 --> 00:53:41.119
a 30 million euro bid for Mateta came out of

00:53:41.119 --> 00:53:43.780
nowhere. So there are these hints of a bit of

00:53:43.780 --> 00:53:45.280
a rift. Today in the media there was something

00:53:45.280 --> 00:53:47.739
that he stopped Zlatan from entering the dressing

00:53:47.739 --> 00:53:50.719
room or something. Just a bunch of stuff, I'm

00:53:50.719 --> 00:53:54.000
sure that... Milan and his ownership are making

00:53:54.000 --> 00:53:55.820
it a little bit difficult for Allegri to work

00:53:55.820 --> 00:53:58.320
in harmony. And I see it happening, bro, I see.

00:53:58.420 --> 00:54:02.800
Remember the random Allegri back season? I really

00:54:02.800 --> 00:54:05.300
see that happening for the narrative. Milan in

00:54:05.300 --> 00:54:10.340
third on 63 points, while Odinese are in tenth

00:54:10.340 --> 00:54:13.820
on 43. Now getting really close to Lazio, who

00:54:13.820 --> 00:54:17.070
are a point ahead of them. So Napoli managed

00:54:17.070 --> 00:54:20.730
to beat Milan last week to keep their Scudetto

00:54:20.730 --> 00:54:23.750
defense alive and they were motivated and they

00:54:23.750 --> 00:54:26.650
were celebrating and they the content went into

00:54:26.650 --> 00:54:28.989
the media saying we have a responsibility to

00:54:28.989 --> 00:54:32.429
defend the Scudetto whatever they headed over

00:54:32.429 --> 00:54:36.969
to Parma full of Determination and motivation

00:54:36.969 --> 00:54:40.170
to really in the nation there to to the end of

00:54:40.170 --> 00:54:42.429
the of the season and challenge them till the

00:54:42.429 --> 00:54:45.690
end only for Bon Giorno and Juan Jesus to kiss

00:54:45.690 --> 00:54:48.329
in the first minute while Elfege headed the ball

00:54:48.329 --> 00:54:51.849
behind them for Sreffetza to finish and and then

00:54:51.849 --> 00:54:53.969
create virtually nothing for the rest of the

00:54:53.969 --> 00:54:56.889
game and it's Parma one Napoli one. You can't

00:54:56.889 --> 00:54:59.269
you can't get caught kissing like that. You're

00:54:59.269 --> 00:55:01.250
so early on the game 30 seconds in you're kissing

00:55:01.630 --> 00:55:07.030
Yeah, what are you doing? So it was a three fourth...

00:55:07.070 --> 00:55:09.630
No, a 3 -5 -2 formation, sorry, for Parma, with

00:55:09.630 --> 00:55:12.929
Suzuki in goal, Cercati, Troilo and Valenti as

00:55:12.929 --> 00:55:15.650
the violent back three, with Del Prato on the

00:55:15.650 --> 00:55:17.969
right, Valeri on the left, Bernabe, Nicolusi

00:55:17.969 --> 00:55:20.769
Cavigliano, Keita in the middle, with Nesta Elfege

00:55:20.769 --> 00:55:24.409
and Streffetza partnering up front. For Napoli,

00:55:24.590 --> 00:55:27.050
it was Miljkovic -Savic in goal, in their 3 -4

00:55:27.050 --> 00:55:29.449
-2 -1 formation, with Olivera Bonjorno and Juan

00:55:29.449 --> 00:55:32.070
Jesus at the back, Poletan on the right, Spinazzola

00:55:32.070 --> 00:55:34.050
on the left, with Lobotka and Angusas a double

00:55:34.050 --> 00:55:36.050
pivot, De Bruyne and McTominay playing behind,

00:55:36.170 --> 00:55:41.639
Hoylen. John Jesus? No, yes, it took 33 seconds

00:55:41.639 --> 00:55:44.559
for that goal to take place. It was exactly Streffetso

00:55:44.559 --> 00:55:46.920
who finished a transition initiated by Suzuki's

00:55:46.920 --> 00:55:51.059
long ball to Elfege's flick on. Lovely bit of

00:55:51.059 --> 00:55:54.360
play from Elfege, bro. I love him. Yeah, he did

00:55:54.360 --> 00:55:56.920
great. He's fun. And I picked him up for one

00:55:56.920 --> 00:55:58.719
credit on Fanta, my last sub every week. He got

00:55:58.719 --> 00:56:01.360
me a nice 7 .5 on the bench. Huge. Delicious.

00:56:02.099 --> 00:56:05.239
So Napoli, of course, this is a this when when

00:56:05.239 --> 00:56:07.840
this happens when you concede 30 seconds in against

00:56:07.840 --> 00:56:10.659
a team like parma you can see quanta was like

00:56:10.659 --> 00:56:14.260
this on the bench bro yeah like it was almost

00:56:14.260 --> 00:56:16.920
it was almost giddy like like it was almost giggling

00:56:16.920 --> 00:56:19.860
yeah you couldn't believe it he was like what

00:56:19.860 --> 00:56:22.039
the hell have they done because because you are

00:56:22.039 --> 00:56:25.360
against a team that is going to make your life

00:56:25.760 --> 00:56:28.599
Hell from that moment on and that's exactly what

00:56:28.599 --> 00:56:32.059
they did listen to this Napoli had 74 % the ball

00:56:32.059 --> 00:56:34.059
possession. They had 20 shots They had seven

00:56:34.059 --> 00:56:38.219
corners, but they created very little early on

00:56:38.219 --> 00:56:40.519
McDonough managed to equalize in the 60th minute

00:56:40.519 --> 00:56:43.849
with a low strike from the edge of the box after

00:56:43.849 --> 00:56:47.230
this really nice bit of vertical play by Lobotka

00:56:47.230 --> 00:56:49.969
to Hoyland who laid it off to McTominay but this

00:56:49.969 --> 00:56:52.809
was one of Napoli's first shots on target actually

00:56:52.809 --> 00:56:54.710
it took the 60th minute they couldn't do anything

00:56:54.710 --> 00:56:57.400
against Parma Parma held on despite a lot of

00:56:57.400 --> 00:57:00.559
late pressure. Suzuki made some saves on Mcdominay

00:57:00.559 --> 00:57:02.760
and Alisson Santos, but Napoli really failed

00:57:02.760 --> 00:57:05.320
to convert sustained possession into high quality

00:57:05.320 --> 00:57:08.500
chances. It feels like sometimes it's just Poletano

00:57:08.500 --> 00:57:11.480
and Spinazzola playing pinball and crossing the

00:57:11.480 --> 00:57:14.219
ball in, while creative players like De Bruyne

00:57:14.219 --> 00:57:17.500
are forced out of the game almost playing wide.

00:57:17.920 --> 00:57:21.829
Why doesn't he occupy a more central role? Parma

00:57:21.829 --> 00:57:24.110
actually had a penalty call in the 79th minute

00:57:24.110 --> 00:57:26.389
when Spinazzola kicked the ball into Bongiorno's

00:57:26.389 --> 00:57:28.489
hand. It looked terrible and the still looks

00:57:28.489 --> 00:57:30.710
really bad compared to the freeze frame. But

00:57:30.710 --> 00:57:32.289
of course it would have been extremely harsh

00:57:32.289 --> 00:57:35.949
because the distance between the foot and the

00:57:35.949 --> 00:57:40.070
hand were not very far. They were quite close

00:57:40.070 --> 00:57:43.780
and it wasn't really... you know there was no

00:57:43.780 --> 00:57:46.739
real it was quite natural no i think i think

00:57:46.739 --> 00:57:50.219
the the rules allow for that not to be given

00:57:50.219 --> 00:57:53.519
i don't think it's i don't think it's a robbery

00:57:53.519 --> 00:57:57.760
by by any means what do you think of so of course

00:57:57.760 --> 00:58:00.119
parma did well over here they got a point whatever

00:58:00.119 --> 00:58:04.880
but but teams like parma man who prioritize points

00:58:04.880 --> 00:58:08.460
and and stats and xg plays and things like that

00:58:09.599 --> 00:58:12.280
What do you think their sporting vision would

00:58:12.280 --> 00:58:14.300
be in the long run? Because it's not like they're

00:58:14.300 --> 00:58:17.320
creating players with lots of value. I mean defenders

00:58:17.320 --> 00:58:19.900
would be, to be honest, their biggest source

00:58:19.900 --> 00:58:21.800
of value creating. But what's their ambition

00:58:21.800 --> 00:58:24.420
in the long run, a team like Parma? I think a

00:58:24.420 --> 00:58:27.300
team like Parma wants to cement its place as

00:58:27.300 --> 00:58:29.480
being a Serie A team first and foremost. They're

00:58:29.480 --> 00:58:33.480
one of the more, not historic, but they're historic

00:58:33.480 --> 00:58:36.619
I mean for the 90s. If you're talking history

00:58:36.619 --> 00:58:39.380
and then there's Torino, Gen, Oaxaca. a much

00:58:39.380 --> 00:58:44.619
richer history than Parma. But Parma had this

00:58:44.619 --> 00:58:47.099
disurgence in the 90s and I think it's something

00:58:47.099 --> 00:58:49.860
that they want to do. They want to be a Serie

00:58:49.860 --> 00:58:52.260
A team. They were initially considered one of

00:58:52.260 --> 00:58:56.300
the seven sisters. It was Parma instead of Atalanta

00:58:56.300 --> 00:58:58.360
in that sense. I think that would be it. When

00:58:58.360 --> 00:59:01.320
it comes to generating talent or whatever, you're

00:59:01.320 --> 00:59:06.579
right. I don't see many huge emerging homegrown

00:59:06.579 --> 00:59:08.800
talents, you know, that rather go for the likes

00:59:08.800 --> 00:59:12.360
of the Ondrikas, the Ankvists, the Oristanios,

00:59:12.599 --> 00:59:16.079
those are the kind of... the Strefetzas. Of course,

00:59:16.219 --> 00:59:18.760
you see... Something smells really good, bro.

00:59:19.940 --> 00:59:22.309
You see the likes of... Is it his monster? No,

00:59:22.409 --> 00:59:25.489
I think Sarah's cooking. You see the likes of

00:59:25.489 --> 00:59:30.349
Valeri, Cercati, Valenti, Del Prato. You see

00:59:30.349 --> 00:59:32.369
these guys that have been around for a while

00:59:32.369 --> 00:59:35.469
and they could tattoo Parma across their chest

00:59:35.469 --> 00:59:38.750
in that sense. This is their first season back,

00:59:38.869 --> 00:59:41.710
right, in Serie A? No, this is a second second

00:59:41.710 --> 00:59:44.469
season second season back. Yeah last season they

00:59:44.469 --> 00:59:48.809
had brought in key food I think it might even

00:59:48.809 --> 00:59:53.469
be their third season dog. Okay, okay So so they

00:59:53.469 --> 00:59:56.150
so so I guess establishing themselves would be

00:59:56.150 --> 00:59:59.150
would be the priority, right? Yeah However, you

00:59:59.150 --> 01:00:01.969
look at teams like I don't know Sasuolo's model

01:00:01.969 --> 01:00:03.909
is very interesting because Sasuolo with their

01:00:03.909 --> 01:00:06.090
brand of football They can easily sell players

01:00:06.090 --> 01:00:08.650
for for a great price. You know what I mean?

01:00:09.090 --> 01:00:11.400
Parma might able to do that i guess with the

01:00:11.400 --> 01:00:13.380
with the defensive players because these three

01:00:13.380 --> 01:00:17.260
guys they have at the back are are very very

01:00:17.260 --> 01:00:22.400
good man and that's troy log is just a classic

01:00:22.400 --> 01:00:25.119
traditional center back no bullshit no nonsense

01:00:25.119 --> 01:00:28.760
yes he is he is an animal he's a nightmare to

01:00:28.760 --> 01:00:31.179
play and hoyland was having a really tough game

01:00:31.179 --> 01:00:33.179
against these guys and in fact i found that to

01:00:33.179 --> 01:00:36.179
be parmas not to mention pellegrino could get

01:00:36.179 --> 01:00:40.550
them a good 35 million that's a good point Bernabe

01:00:40.550 --> 01:00:43.309
you know Bernabe is there he's in the conversation

01:00:43.309 --> 01:00:45.530
he could be a very good talent I think this season

01:00:45.530 --> 01:00:48.329
was a bit of a write -off for him in that sense

01:00:48.329 --> 01:00:50.989
you changed so much Zion Suzuki they could have

01:00:50.989 --> 01:00:53.150
already casted on him now he's a keeper with

01:00:53.150 --> 01:00:56.429
with very real problems as in he's not an incredibly

01:00:56.429 --> 01:00:58.550
convincing goalkeeper but his highlight reel

01:00:58.550 --> 01:01:00.789
is mental so they could make some good money

01:01:00.789 --> 01:01:05.570
from him as well some United would like him but

01:01:05.570 --> 01:01:08.860
I think Parma's game plan over here was take

01:01:08.860 --> 01:01:11.300
Hoiland out of the game as much as possible.

01:01:11.659 --> 01:01:13.820
I think that was their only goal in this game

01:01:13.820 --> 01:01:16.300
after they get the goal. Fucking double down

01:01:16.300 --> 01:01:19.679
on Rajmush Hoiland because they know how Konte

01:01:19.679 --> 01:01:23.699
and that's the thing. You caught that channel

01:01:23.699 --> 01:01:25.639
man, there isn't much left. Questa prepares for

01:01:25.639 --> 01:01:28.159
the manager, he always does. He knows that reference

01:01:28.159 --> 01:01:31.679
point up front is how Conte operates. He knows

01:01:31.679 --> 01:01:35.500
that there isn't much talent out wide for Napoli

01:01:35.500 --> 01:01:39.559
with Nares injured, with Vergara out and with

01:01:39.559 --> 01:01:41.659
Alisson Santos being used as an impact sub at

01:01:41.659 --> 01:01:43.840
this point. So just double down in the middle,

01:01:44.039 --> 01:01:45.739
double down on Hoyland and it brought them a

01:01:45.739 --> 01:01:48.449
fair bit of success in this game. it did it did

01:01:48.449 --> 01:01:50.849
um sometimes i feel like now polis play is a

01:01:50.849 --> 01:01:54.530
little bit um uninventive uh especially like

01:01:54.530 --> 01:01:57.630
like you know you get to see that that lovely

01:01:57.630 --> 01:01:59.150
bit of play that they did when they actually

01:01:59.150 --> 01:02:01.309
managed to squeeze a ball through the hole and

01:02:01.309 --> 01:02:03.969
that was that was a it worked remarkably it was

01:02:03.969 --> 01:02:06.309
pinball football was really nice yeah but other

01:02:06.309 --> 01:02:08.489
than that man like i said earlier it just feels

01:02:08.489 --> 01:02:11.090
like we are watching politano and spinazzola

01:02:11.090 --> 01:02:13.840
spam crosses all game. Which shouldn't be the

01:02:13.840 --> 01:02:15.699
case when you have players like De Bruyne on

01:02:15.699 --> 01:02:17.860
the pitch, you know what I mean? Totally. But

01:02:17.860 --> 01:02:20.559
that's what Parma do. Parma are a tough fucking

01:02:20.559 --> 01:02:22.300
team. They are and they cut the supply, man.

01:02:22.559 --> 01:02:23.900
They kill the game. For them to get a goal in

01:02:23.900 --> 01:02:26.820
the first 30 seconds through a goalkeeper long

01:02:26.820 --> 01:02:30.420
ball, Konte would have fucking destroyed his

01:02:30.420 --> 01:02:32.500
players at half time, bro. It's like whatever

01:02:32.500 --> 01:02:35.980
you do, do not concede early against Parma. because

01:02:35.980 --> 01:02:38.579
it's it's like oh my going to the dentist like

01:02:38.579 --> 01:02:40.699
you're you're like you're gonna go work christmas

01:02:40.699 --> 01:02:44.300
day for 15 hours bro yeah so in the end it was

01:02:44.300 --> 01:02:46.619
parma who scored one goal from three shots compared

01:02:46.619 --> 01:02:48.940
to napoli scored one goal from 20 shots but they

01:02:48.940 --> 01:02:51.820
were all low xg shots because of course they

01:02:51.820 --> 01:02:57.280
were at the dentist so yes um that is parma napoli

01:02:57.280 --> 01:03:01.000
we have napoli in second with 66 points while

01:03:01.000 --> 01:03:04.920
parma sit in 14th with 36 points yes and after

01:03:05.130 --> 01:03:10.449
Como dropped points to Inter. Juve made sure

01:03:10.449 --> 01:03:12.909
to get a victory and it wasn't easy because it

01:03:12.909 --> 01:03:16.690
was a way to Atalanta and Atalanta who have been

01:03:16.690 --> 01:03:19.730
in incredible form. In fact they were coming

01:03:19.730 --> 01:03:23.570
off two wins sure against Verona and Lecce but

01:03:23.570 --> 01:03:25.570
they were properly pushing for a top six they

01:03:25.570 --> 01:03:29.050
have a clear goal in mind. They missed Hien and

01:03:29.050 --> 01:03:33.409
Sulemana in this game. Juve's mission however

01:03:33.409 --> 01:03:38.000
is greater they want to get top four and getting

01:03:38.000 --> 01:03:40.420
top four is important for them because it saves

01:03:40.420 --> 01:03:43.820
their ownership because Yuva are no longer the

01:03:43.820 --> 01:03:46.179
financial powerhouse they used to be and Champions

01:03:46.179 --> 01:03:51.429
qualification is essential for them They are

01:03:51.429 --> 01:03:54.030
undefeated in their last six. They missed Vlaović,

01:03:54.210 --> 01:03:56.170
Perin, Adzic, McKenney and Cabal in this game.

01:03:56.550 --> 01:03:58.530
Very good to mention as well and very important.

01:03:58.690 --> 01:04:02.150
Before this game Spalletti, they extended Spalletti's

01:04:02.150 --> 01:04:04.550
contract until 2028. What a great piece of news

01:04:04.550 --> 01:04:08.730
for Juve fans. The previous encounter between

01:04:08.730 --> 01:04:11.130
these two sides was a 1 -1 draw on Serie A but

01:04:11.130 --> 01:04:13.269
Atalanta destroyed Juve 3 -0 in the Coppa, if

01:04:13.269 --> 01:04:17.710
you remember that. Yeah. 3 -4 -2 -1 for Palladino's

01:04:17.710 --> 01:04:19.969
men, Karne is sexy in goal with a back line of

01:04:19.969 --> 01:04:23.210
Kolasinac, Gymsity Life and Scalvini. Not so

01:04:23.210 --> 01:04:27.469
sexy today. No, not so sexy. Bern and not so

01:04:27.469 --> 01:04:30.570
Gymsity Life, more like Gymshity Life as well.

01:04:31.449 --> 01:04:33.510
Bernasconi on the left, Zappa Costa on the right,

01:04:33.630 --> 01:04:36.090
double pivot of Ederson, and the Roan with Zalewski

01:04:36.090 --> 01:04:38.449
and the Keitelare playing behind. Kerstovich.

01:04:38.489 --> 01:04:43.550
More like Berlusconi on the left. Dead. 3 -4

01:04:43.550 --> 01:05:04.000
-2 -1 for me. Atalanta started strong, of course

01:05:04.000 --> 01:05:07.039
Jeremy Boga against his former team, but he barely

01:05:07.039 --> 01:05:10.659
played. Even the cross that came in was from

01:05:10.659 --> 01:05:14.159
an X. The cross that came in was from an X. I

01:05:14.159 --> 01:05:16.219
can't quite, it escapes me right now, but two

01:05:16.219 --> 01:05:20.420
Xs. Zalewski? Zalewski, exactly. Zalewski was...

01:05:20.420 --> 01:05:23.079
Skwala Juwe? No, no, no, we're screwing up. It

01:05:23.079 --> 01:05:28.380
wasn't Zalewski. Holm? Yes, exactly. Holm is

01:05:28.380 --> 01:05:31.360
former Atalanta. What a boutique hotel. Which

01:05:31.360 --> 01:05:34.579
means dream in Maltese, and boy was he a dream

01:05:34.579 --> 01:05:37.199
this game. He was a dream. Also, boutique hotel.

01:05:37.460 --> 01:05:41.340
Check it out. Atalanta started strongly. coming

01:05:41.340 --> 01:05:44.239
close early when Zalewski missed a great chance,

01:05:44.619 --> 01:05:47.840
just wide, dragged his shot, Scalvini hit the

01:05:47.840 --> 01:05:51.320
post from a set piece he saw back, before dominating

01:05:51.320 --> 01:05:53.780
the first half with sustained pressure and forcing

01:05:53.780 --> 01:05:58.039
Juve into deep defensive work. The breakthrough

01:05:58.039 --> 01:06:00.360
came early in the second half when a chaotic

01:06:00.360 --> 01:06:04.019
move saw Emil Holmes cross and a defensive mix

01:06:04.019 --> 01:06:06.659
-up between Karinasecki and Jim City allowing

01:06:06.659 --> 01:06:10.510
Jeremy Boga to tap in from close range. like

01:06:10.510 --> 01:06:12.869
one of those occasions where the ball was between

01:06:12.869 --> 01:06:15.230
the defender and the goalkeeper a bit closer

01:06:15.230 --> 01:06:19.369
to the defender keeper says mine or it doesn't

01:06:19.369 --> 01:06:22.210
say mine the communication seems on they both

01:06:22.210 --> 01:06:25.590
commit 50 percent and the ball ends up going

01:06:25.590 --> 01:06:27.550
straight to Jeremy Boga who finishes I think

01:06:27.550 --> 01:06:29.710
that's exactly it I think Karnasek he called

01:06:29.710 --> 01:06:32.670
for it because you see Jim City backing off and

01:06:32.670 --> 01:06:35.289
and then he calls for it and doesn't fully commit

01:06:35.289 --> 01:06:39.110
to it so that despite whether he called for it

01:06:39.110 --> 01:06:43.150
or not that area communication is the keeper's

01:06:43.150 --> 01:06:45.469
responsibility you're coming off your line if

01:06:45.469 --> 01:06:47.329
you do you're leaving an empty net you need to

01:06:47.329 --> 01:06:49.550
inform someone what the fuck you're doing bro

01:06:49.550 --> 01:06:52.969
so either yours or mine, that's for the keepers

01:06:52.969 --> 01:06:54.789
to say, because he has the most important role

01:06:54.789 --> 01:06:57.989
over there. But anyway, Atalanta pushed harder

01:06:57.989 --> 01:06:59.949
for the equalizer, Gymsity's header was cleared

01:06:59.949 --> 01:07:02.050
off the line by De Gregorio, and there were several

01:07:02.050 --> 01:07:05.170
chances for Raspadori, Zappacosta and Scamacca,

01:07:05.329 --> 01:07:07.150
while Juve missed a big chance to kill the game

01:07:07.150 --> 01:07:09.349
through Thoram after some great work once again

01:07:09.349 --> 01:07:12.130
by homeout wide, showing physicality, pace and

01:07:12.130 --> 01:07:14.400
accurate crossing. this was don't get it twisted

01:07:14.400 --> 01:07:17.719
this was an ugly win by Juve Atalanta hit the

01:07:17.719 --> 01:07:20.380
post they had way more shots they had more box

01:07:20.380 --> 01:07:22.900
touches they had more corners but they managed

01:07:22.900 --> 01:07:26.940
to win thanks to one defensive lapse in concentration

01:07:26.940 --> 01:07:30.820
by the hosts but at this stage This is exactly

01:07:30.820 --> 01:07:33.039
what Juve need. Juve need to take those opportunities

01:07:33.039 --> 01:07:35.599
and they need to cut a nut or the living shit

01:07:35.599 --> 01:07:38.400
out of an opponent that is overperforming them,

01:07:38.400 --> 01:07:41.519
no? Yeah, yeah. And that's exactly it, bro, because

01:07:41.519 --> 01:07:45.079
you have Decay Talare, you have Zalefsky, you

01:07:45.079 --> 01:07:47.460
have Kristovic, you have Skalvini, Skamakka,

01:07:47.539 --> 01:07:51.449
they all missed. extremely narrowly. I think

01:07:51.449 --> 01:07:53.849
the worst one of it all was Zalefsky and I think

01:07:53.849 --> 01:07:56.610
it was the first chance that Atalanta had the

01:07:56.610 --> 01:07:59.469
first big chance. He had the opportunity to play

01:07:59.469 --> 01:08:02.510
a teammate through and he went for the bottom

01:08:02.510 --> 01:08:06.530
far corner and it was so close. Marginal. Marginal,

01:08:06.590 --> 01:08:10.469
yes. But in reality that would cost them because

01:08:10.469 --> 01:08:14.369
Juve are... quite efficient and quite street

01:08:14.369 --> 01:08:17.050
smart that's what they're becoming as a team

01:08:17.050 --> 01:08:21.149
i think yeah and and i mean before with tudor

01:08:21.149 --> 01:08:23.609
and even with motta they were criticized for

01:08:23.609 --> 01:08:26.050
their lack of passages of play and the fact that

01:08:26.050 --> 01:08:28.470
they were kind of only playing for results but

01:08:28.470 --> 01:08:32.640
not getting results um with Spalletti you know

01:08:32.640 --> 01:08:37.180
you can get both you know when he gets that offensive

01:08:37.180 --> 01:08:39.760
kind of flow going there are a few better offensive

01:08:39.760 --> 01:08:41.840
managers in the league than Spalletti look at

01:08:41.840 --> 01:08:44.920
what he did with the right players at Napoli

01:08:44.920 --> 01:08:48.720
and look what he had done with Roma as well and

01:08:48.720 --> 01:08:50.899
now what he's doing with you let's be honest

01:08:50.899 --> 01:08:53.880
they've been destroying some teams but in the

01:08:53.880 --> 01:08:57.500
stage he's mature enough and educated enough

01:08:57.500 --> 01:08:59.720
and experienced enough to go We're playing at

01:08:59.720 --> 01:09:01.819
Atalanta Stadium. They're on fine form. They're

01:09:01.819 --> 01:09:03.100
going to play better than us. They're going to

01:09:03.100 --> 01:09:04.640
push us. They're going to push us back. We need

01:09:04.640 --> 01:09:07.060
to defend compactly and we need to take advantage

01:09:07.060 --> 01:09:12.220
because it's important to make up ground and

01:09:12.220 --> 01:09:15.039
Komo lost so Juve should win. But if Komo lost

01:09:15.039 --> 01:09:17.720
and Juve drew, at least it wasn't a loss. You

01:09:17.720 --> 01:09:21.539
know what I mean? That is what experience gets

01:09:21.539 --> 01:09:26.760
you. It's not all or nothing kind of thing. There

01:09:26.760 --> 01:09:30.600
are two points ahead of Komo. um and their next

01:09:30.600 --> 01:09:34.579
they and these are their remaining fixtures okay

01:09:34.579 --> 01:09:41.439
um Bologna Milan Verona Lecce Fiorentina and

01:09:41.439 --> 01:09:46.199
Torino it's the Bologna and Milan game Verona

01:09:46.199 --> 01:09:49.000
Lecce are winnable i know they're battling relegation

01:09:49.000 --> 01:09:50.640
but they are absolutely remember that the last

01:09:50.640 --> 01:09:52.800
two games of the season are random derbies for

01:09:52.800 --> 01:09:57.180
you Fiorentina and Torino absolutely low with

01:09:57.180 --> 01:09:59.500
them and they will definitely try their best

01:09:59.500 --> 01:10:01.279
to disrupt them granted that they'll probably

01:10:01.279 --> 01:10:03.539
be safe by then mathematically and then you have

01:10:03.539 --> 01:10:05.960
of course the Derby de la Mole which D 'Aversa

01:10:05.960 --> 01:10:08.399
will be looking at and licking his lips judging

01:10:08.399 --> 01:10:11.000
by how well Torino have been playing as of late

01:10:11.000 --> 01:10:18.119
but yes bro this was a very street -smart performance

01:10:18.119 --> 01:10:20.659
by Juve and I was particularly impressed with

01:10:20.659 --> 01:10:24.720
Konsei Sao in the moment where the goal was created.

01:10:24.899 --> 01:10:26.739
The action before and the action of the goal.

01:10:27.439 --> 01:10:31.619
He was problematic. He's very direct. We know

01:10:31.619 --> 01:10:35.500
what he's like and he was on this game and Kiara

01:10:35.500 --> 01:10:38.180
called him cute, my girlfriend. So, congratulations

01:10:38.180 --> 01:10:40.119
Konsei Sao. She also called your dad cute, by

01:10:40.119 --> 01:10:44.760
the way. The listener. The listener's dad. Yes,

01:10:44.840 --> 01:10:48.199
listen to that. Can I also highlight Lloyd Kelly?

01:10:49.359 --> 01:10:52.640
No? I thought he had a good game. In place for

01:10:52.640 --> 01:10:54.960
Bremer, of course, big shoes to fill and he won

01:10:54.960 --> 01:10:59.340
five aerial duels along with four tackles. very

01:10:59.340 --> 01:11:01.819
good performance and of course Emil Holm as well

01:11:01.819 --> 01:11:04.279
for his first start as a Juve player and he was

01:11:04.279 --> 01:11:07.340
excellent so physical and it was an absolute

01:11:07.340 --> 01:11:10.079
train the way that he bodied Kolasinac the way

01:11:10.079 --> 01:11:12.260
that he bodied the defender in the goal as well

01:11:12.260 --> 01:11:15.260
and then the accurate cross right after that

01:11:15.260 --> 01:11:19.420
Emil Holm once he gets going man wow yeah yeah

01:11:19.420 --> 01:11:25.229
Holm is is a player that has a very high I wouldn't

01:11:25.229 --> 01:11:29.609
say a high ceiling, but high standard when he's

01:11:29.609 --> 01:11:33.229
fit, I think. Or no, I wouldn't even say that

01:11:33.229 --> 01:11:35.689
either, because he's not exactly the most consistent

01:11:35.689 --> 01:11:37.649
player in the world. What I want to say is that

01:11:37.649 --> 01:11:40.210
when he's at his peak, he's very difficult to

01:11:40.210 --> 01:11:41.909
play against. That's what I'm trying to say,

01:11:42.029 --> 01:11:45.050
basically, because he is extremely dominant as

01:11:45.050 --> 01:11:47.010
a fullback. He's similar to Dumfries in that

01:11:47.010 --> 01:11:49.970
regard, because I haven't seen many people go

01:11:49.970 --> 01:11:52.989
into a 50 -50 with Kolasinac and come out on

01:11:52.989 --> 01:11:56.489
top. not even armed robbers yeah yeah exactly

01:11:56.489 --> 01:12:00.510
he was protecting Gozul or something right so

01:12:00.510 --> 01:12:07.829
so very nice cheeky little signing for you yeah

01:12:07.829 --> 01:12:10.050
great great signing just a quick note on Atalanta

01:12:10.050 --> 01:12:12.350
and we can move on it's more about how they played

01:12:12.350 --> 01:12:14.869
in this game and they dominated especially in

01:12:14.869 --> 01:12:16.850
the first half they were using their wide play

01:12:16.850 --> 01:12:20.159
really well and they were finding pockets between

01:12:20.159 --> 01:12:23.039
the lines through the Keitelare and Ederson to

01:12:23.039 --> 01:12:25.960
consistently pin Juve back. They created early

01:12:25.960 --> 01:12:29.699
chances with obviously Zalevski and then Scalvini

01:12:29.699 --> 01:12:32.859
hitting the post and Kerstovich as well but their

01:12:32.859 --> 01:12:35.260
wing play with Zappa Kosta and Bernasconi really

01:12:35.260 --> 01:12:38.539
stretched Juve constantly generating sustained

01:12:38.539 --> 01:12:41.100
pressure and allowing those pockets to be formed

01:12:41.100 --> 01:12:45.529
in the middle which as I said the Keitelare and

01:12:45.529 --> 01:12:49.390
Edison were exposing very well. Good game by

01:12:49.390 --> 01:12:53.869
Atalanta, they were well set up for it, a bit

01:12:53.869 --> 01:12:56.289
more luck and maybe it would have been a different

01:12:56.289 --> 01:13:00.510
story. When it comes to the standings, Atalanta

01:13:00.510 --> 01:13:03.250
find themselves in seventh, they are now starting

01:13:03.250 --> 01:13:07.390
to peel away a bit from the Europa League spot,

01:13:08.729 --> 01:13:12.430
of course Como are Six points ahead of them.

01:13:12.630 --> 01:13:17.090
No, no Como are seven points. No, sorry my five

01:13:17.090 --> 01:13:20.649
points ahead of them and Roma are four points

01:13:20.649 --> 01:13:23.279
ahead of them whilst Juve find themselves in

01:13:23.279 --> 01:13:25.680
fourth place two points ahead of Cuomo. Yes and

01:13:25.680 --> 01:13:27.840
someone tells Zappacossa that was never a penalty

01:13:27.840 --> 01:13:31.039
at the end on Gatti because he was freaking out.

01:13:31.960 --> 01:13:34.899
Ah yes yes yes yes yes. He was calling for a

01:13:34.899 --> 01:13:37.420
handball but literally Gatti's arm was moving

01:13:37.420 --> 01:13:41.180
inwards and it was and Zappacossa was off the

01:13:41.180 --> 01:13:44.220
pitch and he led the protest from from behind

01:13:44.220 --> 01:13:47.800
the line it was hilarious. okay so we can move

01:13:47.800 --> 01:13:51.760
on to roma's game where i can talk about what

01:13:51.760 --> 01:13:56.920
a fan i am of malin and how if i ever have a

01:13:56.920 --> 01:14:00.260
child who wants to be a striker i will literally

01:14:00.260 --> 01:14:03.079
sit him down and show him videos of malin because

01:14:03.079 --> 01:14:06.319
that movement the amount of touches he takes

01:14:06.319 --> 01:14:08.760
it's always the perfect amount of touches he

01:14:08.760 --> 01:14:11.399
never takes an extra touch i'll be honest why

01:14:11.399 --> 01:14:13.979
do you really like malin because he's a bald

01:14:13.979 --> 01:14:17.260
king exactly yeah don't see many nowadays nowadays

01:14:17.260 --> 01:14:20.680
here's go to turkey come on man rock the ball

01:14:20.680 --> 01:14:24.399
you know yeah zvelar was in goal for roma as

01:14:24.399 --> 01:14:26.779
they lined up in a three four two one formation

01:14:26.779 --> 01:14:29.260
with gilardi indica and her morso at the back

01:14:29.260 --> 01:14:31.439
chelik was on the right with wrench on the left

01:14:31.439 --> 01:14:34.100
kristantin pizilli in the double pivot with sole

01:14:34.100 --> 01:14:39.159
and pellegrini playing behind malin schemper

01:14:39.159 --> 01:14:41.800
was in goal for pisa in their three four two

01:14:41.800 --> 01:14:45.090
one formation Canestelli, Caracciolo and Calabresi

01:14:45.090 --> 01:14:47.949
formed the CCC at the back, with Angori on the

01:14:47.949 --> 01:14:50.750
left, Tura on the right, Hojhult and Arbusier

01:14:50.750 --> 01:14:53.109
in the middle, with Leris and Tramone playing

01:14:53.109 --> 01:15:01.069
behind. Moreo. So bear with me. While you swipe

01:15:01.069 --> 01:15:05.100
to the moon. While I swipe to the moon. So yes,

01:15:05.260 --> 01:15:07.079
Roma really controlled this game. They won 3

01:15:07.079 --> 01:15:10.060
-0. They didn't really concede much at all Malin

01:15:10.060 --> 01:15:12.960
scored all three goals from just three shots

01:15:12.960 --> 01:15:15.960
extremely efficient and he has actually Despite

01:15:15.960 --> 01:15:18.199
joining in January. He's the third top scorer

01:15:18.199 --> 01:15:21.659
in Italian football right now. My god Yes, so

01:15:21.659 --> 01:15:24.560
the standard has been so poor Madonna, and he

01:15:24.560 --> 01:15:26.579
opened the scoring in the third minute with a

01:15:26.579 --> 01:15:30.779
direct whatever we're gonna call it a carry a

01:15:30.779 --> 01:15:32.760
carry i guess the americans would call it a carry

01:15:32.760 --> 01:15:35.100
i don't like that uh to be honest it doesn't

01:15:35.100 --> 01:15:38.020
sound natural but yes a direct carry and finish

01:15:38.020 --> 01:15:41.300
um under the bar he took i think it was a total

01:15:41.300 --> 01:15:44.539
of four touches before he shot, including one

01:15:44.539 --> 01:15:45.920
of them to take the ball down with his head.

01:15:46.119 --> 01:15:48.000
He has the perfect amount of touches necessary.

01:15:48.439 --> 01:15:51.039
He doubled in the 43rd minute after some nice,

01:15:51.060 --> 01:15:53.899
intricate passing, which eventually saw Rensch

01:15:53.899 --> 01:15:55.960
playing a ball to him. And then he completed

01:15:55.960 --> 01:15:57.960
the hat -trick in the 52nd minute from a Suley

01:15:57.960 --> 01:16:00.760
pass in behind, where he let the ball run a little

01:16:00.760 --> 01:16:04.640
bit and then shot with his left foot. Roma had

01:16:04.640 --> 01:16:08.180
59 % ball possession, but only eight shots, actually,

01:16:08.439 --> 01:16:15.319
outperforming Pisa in every aspect in efficiency

01:16:15.319 --> 01:16:17.680
sorry because Pisa actually had nine shots compared

01:16:17.680 --> 01:16:21.300
to Roma's eight Pellegrini hit the bar from a

01:16:21.300 --> 01:16:23.479
free kick before halftime and Zvilar made five

01:16:23.479 --> 01:16:26.880
saves to secure the clean sheet but Pisa at this

01:16:26.880 --> 01:16:30.399
point bro it's just a terrible amount of quality

01:16:30.399 --> 01:16:34.539
the quality is so bad At Pisa, man, I feel like

01:16:34.539 --> 01:16:36.720
I don't know what they were doing when they changed

01:16:36.720 --> 01:16:39.159
manager. We've spoken about that before. It doesn't

01:16:39.159 --> 01:16:40.960
feel like they got better at all. And now I'm

01:16:40.960 --> 01:16:43.100
seeing that it's actually the case that they've

01:16:43.100 --> 01:16:46.039
gotten worse. Much worse. Of course, we've been

01:16:46.039 --> 01:16:47.979
saying this from the start, this team, if you

01:16:47.979 --> 01:16:50.760
look at the individuals, they are not built for

01:16:50.760 --> 01:16:54.729
Serie A. and and you can tell just by the the

01:16:54.729 --> 01:16:58.189
performances man the the individual errors um

01:16:58.189 --> 01:17:01.210
like at a point when calabrese i don't know if

01:17:01.210 --> 01:17:04.510
it was calabrese or carna strelli um who lost

01:17:04.510 --> 01:17:06.770
the ball to marlin in the first goal i think

01:17:06.770 --> 01:17:11.729
calabrese not him was it not on that side uh

01:17:11.729 --> 01:17:17.529
yes actually yes calabrese i think um once marlin

01:17:17.529 --> 01:17:20.050
took the ball from him you're like these guys

01:17:21.029 --> 01:17:24.550
Never and no one no one on Pisa's team is catching

01:17:24.550 --> 01:17:28.329
Marlin. It was like you were watching people

01:17:28.329 --> 01:17:30.829
from from a different planet and Playing when

01:17:30.829 --> 01:17:33.430
you saw Marlin attacking that back three. Yeah,

01:17:33.489 --> 01:17:36.189
I know no one in this team can stop him. There

01:17:36.189 --> 01:17:41.229
isn't You know, it's just a lack of solid players

01:17:41.229 --> 01:17:45.770
in this team and There were so many times under

01:17:45.770 --> 01:17:47.810
Jill Ardino where you could get a glimpse of

01:17:47.810 --> 01:17:50.369
what this team is capable of many a draw a lot

01:17:50.369 --> 01:17:54.949
of organization But they never hit that fucking

01:17:54.949 --> 01:17:58.670
level and over the past five years This is one

01:17:58.670 --> 01:18:01.449
of the worst Serie A teams I have seen just they

01:18:01.449 --> 01:18:04.210
leave so much to be desired I'm not saying from

01:18:04.210 --> 01:18:06.510
a points perspective. I know the Beneventos I

01:18:06.510 --> 01:18:08.989
know I know all those and Salernitana that one

01:18:08.989 --> 01:18:11.989
season were good quality point of view and from

01:18:11.989 --> 01:18:15.920
our watching them just like Give me something

01:18:15.920 --> 01:18:18.479
do yeah, like absolutely nothing. I'm just waiting

01:18:18.479 --> 01:18:20.880
for more or tram on it to do something But yeah,

01:18:20.979 --> 01:18:23.020
I think not enough for this. I had I go back

01:18:23.020 --> 01:18:27.479
to to to Syria be and this is stay there. Yeah

01:18:27.479 --> 01:18:30.760
I thought that there were quite a few standout

01:18:30.760 --> 01:18:34.199
performers Performers for Roma in this game Christante

01:18:34.199 --> 01:18:37.180
played particularly well 105 touches 11 duels

01:18:37.180 --> 01:18:40.380
one 13 defensive actions. He played very very

01:18:40.380 --> 01:18:43.020
well Gilardi as well continues to impress at

01:18:43.020 --> 01:18:47.100
the back with his vintage hairstyle played I

01:18:47.100 --> 01:18:49.159
think it was the best center back of the lot

01:18:49.159 --> 01:18:51.840
because there was one moment where in the car

01:18:51.840 --> 01:18:54.380
press a little bit too aggressively and Hoykult

01:18:54.380 --> 01:18:57.340
found himself running in 1v1 and you say to yourself

01:18:57.340 --> 01:18:59.260
oh my god Pisa are going to actually do something

01:18:59.260 --> 01:19:01.119
over here and he passes straight to the keeper

01:19:01.119 --> 01:19:06.979
but yeah anyone else yes and wrench wrench actually

01:19:06.979 --> 01:19:09.380
had a decent game and to be honest I've been

01:19:09.819 --> 01:19:12.239
I've been waiting for these wing backs to show

01:19:12.239 --> 01:19:14.220
us a little bit more because Gasparini tends

01:19:14.220 --> 01:19:18.060
to excel when it comes to the utilization of

01:19:18.060 --> 01:19:20.899
wing backs. So it was nice to see him actually

01:19:20.899 --> 01:19:24.439
so involved. He played well man. I liked Pellegrini

01:19:24.439 --> 01:19:26.640
in this game. He had a few moments where we saw

01:19:26.640 --> 01:19:29.220
the old Pellegrini. I think he hit the post from

01:19:29.220 --> 01:19:32.779
a free kick. Just a few nice moments from him.

01:19:33.460 --> 01:19:38.510
It was just good to see. Yes, despite the underlying

01:19:38.510 --> 01:19:41.449
statistics that demonstrated that this game was

01:19:41.449 --> 01:19:44.229
quite even, of course it was a very comfortable

01:19:44.229 --> 01:19:46.789
victory for Roma and they just had much more

01:19:46.789 --> 01:19:51.390
quality than Pisa. And in reality, I think we

01:19:51.390 --> 01:19:54.270
can move on. You don't want to suck off Malin

01:19:54.270 --> 01:19:57.310
a little bit more? I could suck off Malin a little

01:19:57.310 --> 01:20:01.189
bit more. I could always suck off Malin. How

01:20:01.189 --> 01:20:04.470
old is Malin? How old is Marlin? God, I hope

01:20:04.470 --> 01:20:09.789
he is of age after those comments. 27. We're

01:20:09.789 --> 01:20:11.390
talking about a player who could potentially

01:20:11.390 --> 01:20:14.279
have... If he can't carry zone at this rate and

01:20:14.279 --> 01:20:18.140
a big move So I I told you when we're watching

01:20:18.140 --> 01:20:20.380
the highlights I'm like, I wouldn't be surprised

01:20:20.380 --> 01:20:23.079
if he gets snapped up immediately doesn't even

01:20:23.079 --> 01:20:26.560
spend a full season at At Roma and get snapped

01:20:26.560 --> 01:20:28.800
up in the summer, but this is this is a player

01:20:28.800 --> 01:20:31.220
you try to keep by all means man He's a player

01:20:31.220 --> 01:20:33.279
you could you could build around because he's

01:20:33.279 --> 01:20:37.100
got everything bro Everything everything a striker

01:20:37.100 --> 01:20:41.800
needs. Daniel Marlin has absolutely I hope it's

01:20:41.770 --> 01:20:44.149
not a question because when i think villa weren't

01:20:44.149 --> 01:20:46.899
playing him i hope it's not a question of he

01:20:46.899 --> 01:20:49.520
can have a bad attitude if it comes down to it.

01:20:49.659 --> 01:20:51.659
Like if he clashes with Gasparini I'd be interested

01:20:51.659 --> 01:20:54.779
to see because Gasparini doesn't typically tend

01:20:54.779 --> 01:20:58.039
to handle these star players so well. We know

01:20:58.039 --> 01:21:00.899
what happened with Papou and he's burnt a few

01:21:00.899 --> 01:21:03.800
bridges with individuals in the past so hopefully

01:21:03.800 --> 01:21:05.739
that won't be anything of concern. Let's take

01:21:05.739 --> 01:21:08.020
a trip down memory lane very quickly bro. The

01:21:08.020 --> 01:21:10.399
last hat -trick scored in Serie A came last season

01:21:10.399 --> 01:21:13.279
on the 8th of February 2025. Of course it was

01:21:13.279 --> 01:21:16.710
Reteggi. who scored a hat -trick against Hellas

01:21:16.710 --> 01:21:20.930
Verona on a 5 -0 thumping. Before that, it was

01:21:20.930 --> 01:21:24.050
Moiskeen who scored the hat -trick in 2024 for

01:21:24.050 --> 01:21:26.729
Fiorentina, also against Hellas Verona on a 3

01:21:26.729 --> 01:21:29.930
-1 thumping. Before that, we had Turam, Reteggi,

01:21:30.090 --> 01:21:33.989
Ozzy Mendebala, Zurkowski making a surprise appearance

01:21:33.989 --> 01:21:36.069
over here in 2024. I remember that so clearly,

01:21:36.289 --> 01:21:38.090
bro. For Empoli, wasn't it? For Empoli, exactly.

01:21:38.270 --> 01:21:42.439
Against, against? Empoli against Parma. Monza.

01:21:42.920 --> 01:21:45.699
Monza. Orsolini had one before that. Martinez

01:21:45.699 --> 01:21:48.380
Coupe Miners. Giroud had one. Milan Sampdoria

01:21:48.380 --> 01:21:51.920
5 -1. Bula Ehdi Amman. Salernitana 3, Fiorentina

01:21:51.920 --> 01:21:55.079
3. oh my god now we're going back to the immobiles

01:21:55.079 --> 01:21:58.239
the beto's yes bro beto has one actually as well

01:21:58.239 --> 01:22:00.680
um against kalyari 5 -1 udenes is stomping in

01:22:00.680 --> 01:22:05.119
2022 anti -rebitch 7 -0 rodrigo palacio asif

01:22:05.119 --> 01:22:08.020
i don't believe it rodrigo palacio never scored

01:22:08.020 --> 01:22:10.500
a hat trick took him on fanta once didn't even

01:22:10.500 --> 01:22:13.579
score one Bro Cornelius, remember Cornelius,

01:22:13.680 --> 01:22:15.399
he scored quite a few. The tall guy. Yeah, the

01:22:15.399 --> 01:22:19.539
tall guy from Norway. We could do this in our

01:22:19.539 --> 01:22:23.000
free time. Let's jump to the next game. Did you

01:22:23.000 --> 01:22:28.920
say where they stand? Nope. Before we of course

01:22:28.920 --> 01:22:33.420
jump to the Bologna game. Roma are in sixth with

01:22:33.420 --> 01:22:36.840
57 points while Pisa are dead lost with 18 points.

01:22:37.000 --> 01:22:42.340
Yes. Bologna 2 -0 Lecce. Bologna were coming

01:22:42.340 --> 01:22:46.960
off a 2 -1 victory over Cremonaise and a midweek

01:22:46.960 --> 01:22:49.979
Europa League 3 -1 home loss to Aston Villa,

01:22:50.399 --> 01:22:53.260
of course. They played well, I thought, Bologna

01:22:53.260 --> 01:22:56.140
and that game against Aston Villa. Towards the

01:22:56.140 --> 01:22:59.399
end they just kind of lost. control. I didn't

01:22:59.399 --> 01:23:01.760
watch too much of it though so don't quote me.

01:23:01.840 --> 01:23:08.180
It was a tough evening for them. They missed

01:23:08.180 --> 01:23:11.699
Ferguson, Dominguez, Leyland, Skorupski, Liko

01:23:11.699 --> 01:23:14.939
Djanis and Dalinga here. Bro that was sorry I

01:23:14.939 --> 01:23:17.720
almost ruined that. It was a tough evening it's

01:23:17.720 --> 01:23:22.359
true. It was a tough game for them but they actually

01:23:22.359 --> 01:23:24.239
managed to get a very important goal at the end

01:23:24.239 --> 01:23:27.770
only to concede to Wally Watkins in the 94. Yeah,

01:23:27.890 --> 01:23:29.750
they played really well Bologna that game. I

01:23:29.750 --> 01:23:31.649
was watching they they even scored offside. They

01:23:31.649 --> 01:23:35.470
opened the scoring themselves, but they This

01:23:35.470 --> 01:23:38.909
week is a big week, of course for the remaining

01:23:38.909 --> 01:23:41.430
Italian teams which are Fiorentina and the conference

01:23:41.430 --> 01:23:43.489
on Bologna and the Europa League. Fiorentina

01:23:43.489 --> 01:23:45.270
lost 3 -0 by the way for those who don't know.

01:23:45.689 --> 01:23:48.960
Huge week. Lecce continued collecting their L's

01:23:48.960 --> 01:23:51.380
in this horrid run of fixtures for them. This

01:23:51.380 --> 01:23:53.359
is their fourth loss in a row. Their names are

01:23:53.359 --> 01:23:56.239
Gaspar, Berisha, Sotil and Camarda. The previous

01:23:56.239 --> 01:23:58.020
encounter between these two sides was a 2 -2

01:23:58.020 --> 01:24:01.340
draw. Pessina was in goal for Bologna. Young

01:24:01.340 --> 01:24:04.000
19 -year -old goalkeeper Pessina in a 4 -2 -3

01:24:04.000 --> 01:24:06.779
-1 formation. Backline of Miranda, Luco Micciazzale

01:24:06.779 --> 01:24:10.680
and João Mário. Double pivot of Froehler and

01:24:10.680 --> 01:24:12.600
Moura with Som just ahead of them and behind

01:24:12.600 --> 01:24:15.260
the striker. With Kambiaghi and Dorsolini flanking

01:24:15.260 --> 01:24:19.789
Castro. also a 4 -2 -3 -1 for the Francesco's

01:24:19.789 --> 01:24:22.550
men. Falcone and Goal, backline of Vega, Thiago

01:24:22.550 --> 01:24:27.010
Gabriel, Siebert and Ndaba, midfield 2 of Ramadani

01:24:27.010 --> 01:24:30.149
and Ngom, with Pierotti, Cullibelli and Banda

01:24:30.149 --> 01:24:34.369
playing behind Stulich. Now Bologna were nearly

01:24:34.510 --> 01:24:36.890
caught early when Stulich was played through

01:24:36.890 --> 01:24:40.529
on goal but 18 year old Pessina, so 18 not 19,

01:24:40.689 --> 01:24:43.130
sorry, produced a strong one on one save to keep

01:24:43.130 --> 01:24:46.930
Lecce out. From there Bologna grew into control

01:24:46.930 --> 01:24:49.010
and eventually took the lead in a chaotic moment.

01:24:49.210 --> 01:24:52.310
It was Orsolini that ran through as Lecce's defense

01:24:52.310 --> 01:24:55.689
switched off, with Indaba failing to track Orsolini

01:24:55.689 --> 01:24:58.430
allowing his effort to come back off the bar

01:24:58.430 --> 01:25:01.590
before Freuler reacted quick as to tap in the

01:25:01.590 --> 01:25:05.020
rebound. just moments before his 34th birthday

01:25:05.020 --> 01:25:08.119
so happy birthday birthday boy Remuf Reuler and

01:25:08.119 --> 01:25:13.079
to explain this better it was a long ball Castro

01:25:13.079 --> 01:25:15.720
was walking back in an offside position and the

01:25:15.720 --> 01:25:19.720
Lecce defenders are like okay then he's offside

01:25:19.720 --> 01:25:22.920
we can leave it but obviously it was the responsibility

01:25:22.920 --> 01:25:25.060
of the right back to go to it but he was like

01:25:25.060 --> 01:25:27.779
i'll leave it too then i guess you're not committing

01:25:27.779 --> 01:25:30.729
i'm not committing whatever Orsalini runs in,

01:25:30.909 --> 01:25:32.850
gets the ball, hits the post, and then the rebound

01:25:32.850 --> 01:25:37.529
is netted in. Just a huge, huge mistake, particularly

01:25:37.529 --> 01:25:40.880
by Indaba. Bologna continue to dominate possession

01:25:40.880 --> 01:25:43.180
and territory in the second half. Orsolini was

01:25:43.180 --> 01:25:46.079
repeatedly threatening Lecce. They only offered

01:25:46.079 --> 01:25:49.220
some brief danger in transitions Lecce, but the

01:25:49.220 --> 01:25:51.140
game was sealed in stoppage time after another

01:25:51.140 --> 01:25:53.479
Lecce mistake. This time they tried to take a

01:25:53.479 --> 01:25:55.539
quick free kick Ramadani just to the side of

01:25:55.539 --> 01:25:57.659
his area. He's like, yeah, come on guys, maybe

01:25:57.659 --> 01:25:59.420
I'll hoof this up. We could get an opportunity.

01:25:59.920 --> 01:26:03.119
Shoots it right into Bernardeschi. It falls into

01:26:03.119 --> 01:26:05.819
Orsolini and he gives Orsolini the goal that

01:26:05.819 --> 01:26:09.729
he deserved to make it 2 -0. And Orsolini has

01:26:09.729 --> 01:26:13.449
ended his 14 -game drought with a goal and an

01:26:13.449 --> 01:26:15.630
inspirational performance. Kind of like the Orsolini.

01:26:15.750 --> 01:26:18.930
We know it was like that. Orsonaldo. Orsonaldo.

01:26:19.109 --> 01:26:22.869
It was like how Berardi carries a swallow down

01:26:22.869 --> 01:26:24.930
that flank. That's what Orsolini is like when

01:26:24.930 --> 01:26:27.449
he's on man. And he didn't give up because he

01:26:27.449 --> 01:26:30.430
was bloody unlucky this game. He kept trying

01:26:30.430 --> 01:26:32.029
till the very end because nothing worked for

01:26:32.029 --> 01:26:34.710
him. You can see him often looking up to the

01:26:34.710 --> 01:26:37.590
sky with a big smile on his face thinking like

01:26:37.659 --> 01:26:39.960
This is hilarious, I'm so unlucky, you know what

01:26:39.960 --> 01:26:43.680
I mean? So, but Letria, bro, if they're actually,

01:26:43.680 --> 01:26:45.619
if they're fighting for their lives, they can't

01:26:45.619 --> 01:26:48.899
be conceding goals like this. They were two extremely

01:26:48.899 --> 01:26:52.140
clumsy goals. And the thing is, aside from those,

01:26:52.520 --> 01:26:55.239
they played well. They've been playing well against

01:26:55.239 --> 01:26:57.659
these top teams. They hold their own, you know?

01:26:58.359 --> 01:27:02.199
Di Francesco... allows them to be quite organized

01:27:02.199 --> 01:27:05.579
defensively shockingly and then he gives them

01:27:05.579 --> 01:27:08.119
some patterns of play moving forward as limited

01:27:08.119 --> 01:27:11.319
as his last few managed teams were you know even

01:27:11.319 --> 01:27:13.579
though with Frozino and Eloki he had a fucking

01:27:13.579 --> 01:27:16.380
fire team with Soleil on one side a great team

01:27:16.380 --> 01:27:18.680
but they never wanted to do any defending whatsoever

01:27:18.680 --> 01:27:21.239
exactly and everyone was on loan exactly every

01:27:21.239 --> 01:27:23.720
single player on the team was on loan but they

01:27:23.720 --> 01:27:28.140
need to be they need to be Careful. There's a

01:27:28.140 --> 01:27:30.000
loose ball behind the defense. Chase it. Exactly.

01:27:30.539 --> 01:27:33.279
I do want to mention that despite that, I thought

01:27:33.279 --> 01:27:35.819
Siebert looked pretty good in this game. Siebert's

01:27:35.819 --> 01:27:38.560
good. Even Thiago Gabriel. Thiago Gabriel is

01:27:38.560 --> 01:27:42.260
gonna make a big move. Thiago Gabriel is one

01:27:42.260 --> 01:27:45.720
of the... breakout players of the season totally

01:27:45.720 --> 01:27:49.760
he is despite his lanky stature he's so clever

01:27:49.760 --> 01:27:53.020
and he hard he's hardly ever a foot behind and

01:27:53.020 --> 01:27:56.319
he's 21 yes he's 21 and where's he from? is he

01:27:56.319 --> 01:28:01.460
brazilian? must be brazilian and they're both

01:28:01.460 --> 01:28:05.779
you know i believe tiago gabriela is 193 centimeters

01:28:05.779 --> 01:28:08.739
and sebert is 194 centimeters so they're two

01:28:08.739 --> 01:28:14.090
towering individuals To move to Bologna, a little

01:28:14.090 --> 01:28:19.590
bit won't take too long. Castro. Castro. I've

01:28:19.590 --> 01:28:21.670
praised Castro, and I will continue praising

01:28:21.670 --> 01:28:23.590
Castro. He's still really young, people forget

01:28:23.590 --> 01:28:28.689
that he's what, 20? 21? Very intelligent, false

01:28:28.689 --> 01:28:32.310
9. Really brings the wingers into the game, or

01:28:32.310 --> 01:28:35.050
Solini is lucky to have him in that sense. Odgaard,

01:28:35.069 --> 01:28:37.229
when he plays, is lucky to have him, because

01:28:37.229 --> 01:28:41.880
he allows him space to attack. But he does lack

01:28:41.880 --> 01:28:44.020
that lethality to his game. It's not just that

01:28:44.020 --> 01:28:46.819
he is not in the spaces to score. He's in the

01:28:46.819 --> 01:28:49.920
spaces to score. He just leaves a bit to be desired

01:28:49.920 --> 01:28:54.000
at the stage. He needs to more than improve that

01:28:54.000 --> 01:28:57.039
because obviously that would be great, but sometimes

01:28:57.039 --> 01:28:59.520
it can be difficult for some players. He needs

01:28:59.520 --> 01:29:02.020
to work on getting more involved. If I were Castro,

01:29:02.100 --> 01:29:05.180
I would watch Lautaro Martinez highlights because

01:29:05.180 --> 01:29:07.600
that is the closest player to him. Totally. That's

01:29:07.600 --> 01:29:10.560
what he should aspire to be. By the way, He's

01:29:10.560 --> 01:29:12.380
from Portugal. So how would his name actually

01:29:12.380 --> 01:29:18.279
be pronounced? Tiagab? And then you have Seabert

01:29:18.279 --> 01:29:25.460
who's from Germany. It's Zeebad. So Som looked

01:29:25.460 --> 01:29:29.020
pretty good. Shout out to Som. Occupies that

01:29:29.020 --> 01:29:31.239
role behind the striker nicely. You can see he

01:29:31.239 --> 01:29:34.220
has a shot on him. He's quite nimble. He can't

01:29:34.220 --> 01:29:37.220
take on a man. For me, and I know we disagreed

01:29:37.220 --> 01:29:39.710
before the game, but for me that is odd guard's

01:29:39.710 --> 01:29:42.550
role ah it's i i like odd guard there man but

01:29:42.550 --> 01:29:45.710
he's too inconsistent with his availability man

01:29:45.710 --> 01:29:48.329
but you bring him on in the 70th and you let

01:29:48.329 --> 01:29:51.050
him score yeah you know what i mean how many

01:29:51.050 --> 01:29:52.689
goals does he have this season do we know he's

01:29:52.689 --> 01:29:55.170
on two goals two goals one assistant let him

01:29:55.170 --> 01:29:58.770
score but this is in the europa league one moment

01:29:58.770 --> 01:30:01.109
yeah two goals on five goals in the league and

01:30:01.109 --> 01:30:03.569
two in the europa league and one assist in the

01:30:03.569 --> 01:30:06.569
league as well but he's played 23 games exactly

01:30:06.939 --> 01:30:09.319
it's not bad i mean and you have to you have

01:30:09.319 --> 01:30:11.399
to look at the minutes not the games i mean yeah

01:30:11.399 --> 01:30:13.159
he would have played a very limited total minutes

01:30:13.159 --> 01:30:17.680
played 1272 yeah he um he's a good player i i

01:30:17.680 --> 01:30:19.880
still think that that position is is something

01:30:19.880 --> 01:30:22.100
that can be addressed for bologna behind the

01:30:22.100 --> 01:30:24.479
striker i think they could they could find someone

01:30:24.479 --> 01:30:26.899
who's a little bit more inventive or someone

01:30:26.899 --> 01:30:29.319
who inserts himself more dominantly they got

01:30:29.319 --> 01:30:32.720
rid of fabian how silly they gave fabian to fiorentina

01:30:32.720 --> 01:30:36.810
here fiorentina take fabian but this what I said

01:30:36.810 --> 01:30:39.350
about the Castro lacking a certain mentality

01:30:39.350 --> 01:30:43.569
this game at times Italianosides lack that in

01:30:43.569 --> 01:30:47.140
general In general the XG was 2 .16 in this game

01:30:47.140 --> 01:30:49.060
because of those two massive fuck -ups Otherwise,

01:30:49.100 --> 01:30:51.159
it's not like they were it was more or Solini

01:30:51.159 --> 01:30:54.119
having a few Hail Marys Shout out to Pessina

01:30:54.119 --> 01:30:56.300
the 18 year old goalkeeper great save in the

01:30:56.300 --> 01:30:59.699
first half and being 18 and a goalkeeper is crazy

01:30:59.699 --> 01:31:02.520
I also saw a mistake in an article. I don't want

01:31:02.520 --> 01:31:04.520
to name the article because I'm not sure They

01:31:04.520 --> 01:31:06.079
said it was his debut, but it was his second

01:31:06.079 --> 01:31:10.119
game A season without Europe, next season for

01:31:10.119 --> 01:31:14.140
Bologna as the major chance. The first time in

01:31:14.140 --> 01:31:16.119
two years because Motta had gotten them fifth

01:31:16.119 --> 01:31:18.100
place when there was the coefficient, Italiano

01:31:18.100 --> 01:31:22.659
got them to win the Coppa Italia. But their persistent

01:31:22.659 --> 01:31:26.060
shitty business where they're getting rid of

01:31:26.060 --> 01:31:27.979
all the quality players and the quality managers

01:31:27.979 --> 01:31:32.060
etc. I think it's good that they hit the restart

01:31:32.060 --> 01:31:35.380
button a little bit. and maybe they finally because

01:31:35.380 --> 01:31:37.979
last season was their first sorry this season

01:31:37.979 --> 01:31:40.279
was the first season they actually had an expectation

01:31:40.279 --> 01:31:44.399
on them because it's like uh like motta did this

01:31:44.399 --> 01:31:46.000
last year so what are you gonna do this year

01:31:46.000 --> 01:31:49.119
yes and i think there will be quite a massive

01:31:49.119 --> 01:31:52.359
reshuffle in in football in italian football

01:31:52.359 --> 01:31:55.899
specifically um one of these top guys will take

01:31:55.899 --> 01:31:58.680
on the role of the national team coach, be it

01:31:58.680 --> 01:32:00.399
Allegri, be it Conte, God knows who it's going

01:32:00.399 --> 01:32:02.479
to be. I think that's going to open up an availability.

01:32:02.859 --> 01:32:04.880
Italiano is a high reputation manager nowadays

01:32:04.880 --> 01:32:09.460
so he might get pulled and then that leaves availability

01:32:09.460 --> 01:32:13.920
for Bologna to actually go after someone. They've

01:32:13.920 --> 01:32:17.220
been extremely good with their hiring of managers

01:32:17.220 --> 01:32:20.380
so far, Bologna. Who would you go for in the

01:32:20.380 --> 01:32:25.359
post Italiano era? Who would I go? in the post

01:32:25.359 --> 01:32:28.340
-italiano era ah wrong i need to like open up

01:32:28.340 --> 01:32:31.560
like you know what what what managers are available

01:32:31.560 --> 01:32:34.119
these managers that like like these gelardinos

01:32:34.119 --> 01:32:36.739
so i i thought about gelardino i thought about

01:32:36.739 --> 01:32:41.020
gelardino um of course a rehiring of motta isn't

01:32:41.020 --> 01:32:43.939
something that is outside the realm of of possibilities

01:32:43.939 --> 01:32:48.039
i know ferentina really like the idea of uh motta

01:32:49.299 --> 01:32:53.380
I wouldn't mind them going for someone outside

01:32:53.380 --> 01:32:57.060
of the classic Serie A realm, someone like Xavi

01:32:57.060 --> 01:33:02.359
for example from from Barca. Imagine that. Imagine

01:33:02.359 --> 01:33:05.760
Sarri at Bologna. Sarri at Bologna would be cool.

01:33:05.859 --> 01:33:09.260
That's the one I like the most right now. What

01:33:09.260 --> 01:33:11.800
I think will happen for sure, just to stray away

01:33:11.800 --> 01:33:14.199
from your question a bit because I'm very significantly

01:33:14.199 --> 01:33:19.640
underprepared for that, is Conte will join the

01:33:19.640 --> 01:33:23.020
national team and Italiano will go to Napoli

01:33:23.020 --> 01:33:26.979
and then it's up to see will Motta go back to

01:33:26.979 --> 01:33:30.159
Bologna or will he go to Fiorentina for example

01:33:30.159 --> 01:33:33.180
because Manz needs a job. The reality is as well

01:33:33.180 --> 01:33:35.039
that we'll probably most likely be seeing Gattuso

01:33:35.039 --> 01:33:37.600
back in the league soon. You know what I mean?

01:33:38.100 --> 01:33:40.680
Maybe unless he'll keep fucking managing in Turkey,

01:33:40.859 --> 01:33:46.449
Cyprus and the likes. Anyway. Where do they stand?

01:33:46.750 --> 01:33:50.369
Where do they stand? So Bologna are in 8th place

01:33:50.369 --> 01:33:54.850
on 48 points. So they're 9 points from 6th place

01:33:54.850 --> 01:33:58.529
Roma. Weiss Lecce find themselves in 18th level

01:33:58.529 --> 01:34:01.850
on points with 17th place Cremona. Monday night

01:34:01.850 --> 01:34:08.869
madness. Fiorentina 1, Lazio 0. That's it. That's

01:34:08.869 --> 01:34:11.489
all I have. Onto the next game. Onto the next

01:34:11.489 --> 01:34:14.090
one. Where do they stand bro? So Fiorentina...

01:34:14.109 --> 01:34:21.489
Wait, where do they stand? We have a comment

01:34:21.489 --> 01:34:26.449
from soup0813. Sorry, I really don't know who

01:34:26.449 --> 01:34:30.130
soup is. Soup is Campbell. Campbell Campbell.

01:34:30.130 --> 01:34:33.090
Hello boys. I was at that Milan versus some boy.

01:34:33.090 --> 01:34:35.590
I'm actually sure who scored his hat trick the

01:34:35.590 --> 01:34:38.850
legend quali arella scored the opener That's

01:34:38.850 --> 01:34:42.689
amazing. That's amazing. Send us video. Mr. Campbell.

01:34:42.689 --> 01:34:46.369
We do miss you. Yes, even though we chat the

01:34:46.369 --> 01:34:50.180
hair was in goal for Fiorentina in their 4 -3

01:34:50.180 --> 01:34:53.640
-3 formation. Dodo, Rugani, Ranieri and Gossens

01:34:53.640 --> 01:34:56.100
were at the back with Fabian, Mandragora and

01:34:56.100 --> 01:34:58.619
Endur in midfield. Harrison played on the right

01:34:58.619 --> 01:35:01.159
wing, Fazzini was on the left and Piccoli started

01:35:01.159 --> 01:35:04.640
up front. For Lazio it was Mottain goal in their

01:35:04.640 --> 01:35:08.119
4 -3 -3 formation with Tavares, Proffesgard,

01:35:08.699 --> 01:35:12.060
Romagnoli and Lazare at the back, Jesus Christ,

01:35:12.420 --> 01:35:15.060
Taylor, Patrick and the Buzich and Mitveldo Cancellari

01:35:15.060 --> 01:35:17.800
on the right, Zaccani on the left and Dia up

01:35:17.800 --> 01:35:21.229
front. So it was Gossens who decided the game

01:35:21.229 --> 01:35:23.630
via back post header from Harrison's cross in

01:35:23.630 --> 01:35:26.489
the 28th minute a really nice header that bounced

01:35:26.489 --> 01:35:30.210
and Hit the post before it went in despite only

01:35:30.210 --> 01:35:33.189
34 % ball possession Fiorentina protected their

01:35:33.189 --> 01:35:36.829
lead Effectively and Lazio created a higher volume

01:35:36.829 --> 01:35:39.069
of chance of course they had 13 shots with six

01:35:39.069 --> 01:35:40.829
of them being on target But they were denied

01:35:40.829 --> 01:35:43.890
by De Gea who made multiple key saves particularly

01:35:43.890 --> 01:35:47.779
on Zakhan Ierlion and Ratkov Leiton The result

01:35:47.779 --> 01:35:51.600
took Fiorentina eight points clear of the relegation

01:35:51.600 --> 01:35:55.199
zone. Brother, this Fiorentina side is all action,

01:35:55.460 --> 01:35:57.640
all hustle at the moment. They, every time I

01:35:57.640 --> 01:35:59.399
watch them, it's like they're working so hard.

01:35:59.439 --> 01:36:01.439
You know what I mean? They almost mirror the

01:36:01.439 --> 01:36:04.399
amount of work that that construction vehicle

01:36:04.399 --> 01:36:06.199
does in the background that's been parked there

01:36:06.199 --> 01:36:08.619
for the past two seasons. Their stadium's a disaster.

01:36:09.819 --> 01:36:11.399
They really need to sort that out. It's such

01:36:11.399 --> 01:36:13.939
an eyesore, man. I hate flicking on the game

01:36:13.939 --> 01:36:15.720
and seeing a construction site. You know what

01:36:15.720 --> 01:36:20.319
I mean? But particularly Harrison and Fazzini,

01:36:20.920 --> 01:36:24.020
they didn't fucking stop. Harrison played 90

01:36:24.020 --> 01:36:26.859
minutes, he was an absolute horse man Harrison.

01:36:27.060 --> 01:36:29.020
He was, he was. Literally just running up and

01:36:29.020 --> 01:36:31.880
down and up and down. cross after cross he's

01:36:31.880 --> 01:36:34.220
yeah and got the assist as well yeah he's not

01:36:34.220 --> 01:36:37.020
a very refined player but he's a he's a player

01:36:37.020 --> 01:36:38.880
who will definitely help you out if you need

01:36:38.880 --> 01:36:41.739
to survive that's for sure but yes Fiorentina

01:36:41.739 --> 01:36:44.880
just sat deep and they relied on direct transitions

01:36:44.880 --> 01:36:47.579
and they they managed to do so most of the chances

01:36:47.579 --> 01:36:49.560
they conceded and most of the big saves they

01:36:49.560 --> 01:36:51.800
had to make were actually quite early on and

01:36:51.800 --> 01:36:54.100
I think they did a good job to stop Lazio from

01:36:54.100 --> 01:36:56.260
attacking Lazio at the moment are in a little

01:36:56.260 --> 01:37:01.369
bit of a strange space where The fans are protesting

01:37:01.369 --> 01:37:03.989
and there are hardly any fans in the stadium.

01:37:04.569 --> 01:37:07.430
They are not sure if Sarri is going to be there

01:37:07.430 --> 01:37:10.810
next season. It's a club that's got a massive

01:37:10.810 --> 01:37:12.770
question mark over it and you can kind of see

01:37:12.770 --> 01:37:17.029
it in the fact that these players don't really

01:37:17.029 --> 01:37:19.770
play with much urgency and with much desire.

01:37:20.369 --> 01:37:22.569
That was the main difference not to say lots

01:37:22.569 --> 01:37:24.569
you haven't been trying because I mean even without

01:37:24.569 --> 01:37:26.850
their fans They were undefeated for the past

01:37:26.850 --> 01:37:29.170
four games five if you count the Coppa Italia

01:37:29.170 --> 01:37:33.310
game against Atalanta But but you could you could

01:37:33.310 --> 01:37:35.489
tell Fiorentina had something on the line over

01:37:35.489 --> 01:37:37.390
here Yeah, and you could also tell that Fiorentina

01:37:37.390 --> 01:37:40.090
had a few players who have a lot to prove in

01:37:40.090 --> 01:37:43.409
that sense as well Fazzini who hasn't hit the

01:37:43.409 --> 01:37:45.890
ground running yet as a player he worked overtime

01:37:45.890 --> 01:37:48.609
in this game to prove himself Jack Harrison the

01:37:48.609 --> 01:37:50.390
same he has his critics jack Harrison because

01:37:50.390 --> 01:37:53.310
what he's a he's a leads footballer. You know

01:37:53.310 --> 01:37:55.930
what I mean? And everyone's talking about his

01:37:55.930 --> 01:37:58.810
lack of 29 years old, you know, spring chicken

01:37:58.810 --> 01:38:01.289
English like not many have heard of him. But

01:38:01.289 --> 01:38:04.069
he's again, he's he's working overtime in that

01:38:04.069 --> 01:38:07.449
sense. So you see a team with with a point to

01:38:07.449 --> 01:38:11.800
prove a Fiorentina, one of the worst Fiorentina

01:38:11.800 --> 01:38:14.300
sides I have seen in my lifetime without a doubt.

01:38:15.199 --> 01:38:16.840
I remember last time Fiorentina were battling

01:38:16.840 --> 01:38:18.960
relegation was in the Ribéry day, that one season

01:38:18.960 --> 01:38:22.619
they had Ribéry, they were too close to comfort

01:38:22.619 --> 01:38:26.000
relegation, they were like 15th, 16th. Yeah,

01:38:26.340 --> 01:38:27.640
this is definitely the worst Fiorentina I've

01:38:27.640 --> 01:38:31.159
seen but they're starting to turn the page. Yeah,

01:38:31.340 --> 01:38:34.760
they are. And right now you can begin to wonder

01:38:34.760 --> 01:38:37.880
like what's the plan here for Lazio like Sarri

01:38:37.880 --> 01:38:42.020
has said that he that that we'll see what what

01:38:42.020 --> 01:38:44.760
they want for next season obviously putting a

01:38:44.760 --> 01:38:47.060
bit of doubt on his future but not ruling it

01:38:47.060 --> 01:38:48.779
out completely you know what i mean that that

01:38:48.779 --> 01:38:52.819
he would stay um this team is extremely makeshift

01:38:52.819 --> 01:38:55.500
man if you look at it man Buzzidge start look

01:38:55.500 --> 01:38:58.140
at the midfield three here Kenneth Taylor was

01:38:58.140 --> 01:39:02.890
brought in in January to replace Gwendouzi, right?

01:39:03.930 --> 01:39:05.550
That's all right. He's fine. He's a good player.

01:39:05.710 --> 01:39:08.250
I like him. Patrick is playing in the middle

01:39:08.250 --> 01:39:11.170
of the field, playing as a center midfielder.

01:39:11.170 --> 01:39:14.569
He's a center back by trade. Buzzidge is starting

01:39:14.569 --> 01:39:17.069
regularly this season. He was a player who was

01:39:17.069 --> 01:39:19.449
being forced out and loaned out and trying to

01:39:19.449 --> 01:39:22.590
be phased out. And here he is starting regularly.

01:39:23.250 --> 01:39:26.380
You've got... You've got the strikers man that

01:39:26.380 --> 01:39:28.939
are in constant rotation every game. It's Daniel

01:39:28.939 --> 01:39:32.000
Maldini, Diya, Ratkov There's no real striker

01:39:32.000 --> 01:39:33.779
that that's all you can say. Listen, this guy

01:39:33.779 --> 01:39:37.319
is my striker and I'm going to use him it's just

01:39:37.319 --> 01:39:43.760
a team that is dismantled and Kind of ignored

01:39:43.760 --> 01:39:47.420
a little bit That's why the fans aren't there

01:39:47.420 --> 01:39:49.659
it's a protest against the ownership like hey

01:39:49.659 --> 01:39:52.859
remember us dude Yeah, the guy selling Gwendouzi

01:39:52.859 --> 01:39:55.239
halfway through the season the guy that that

01:39:55.239 --> 01:39:57.600
brought it absolutely Well, the guy that got

01:39:57.600 --> 01:40:00.340
us the transfer transfer ban in the first place

01:40:00.340 --> 01:40:05.060
the guy that lied to sorry to sign him I mean

01:40:05.060 --> 01:40:08.180
the fans are making their voices heard or the

01:40:08.180 --> 01:40:11.250
latter not making their Not supporting their

01:40:11.250 --> 01:40:13.909
team in that sense Because that's exactly how

01:40:13.909 --> 01:40:15.989
they feel they feel ignored like this team isn't

01:40:15.989 --> 01:40:18.149
important like bro. That's are you still the

01:40:18.149 --> 01:40:21.850
right back? Yeah, you're joking like yeah It's

01:40:21.850 --> 01:40:24.270
it's unbelievable and then you see them extending

01:40:24.270 --> 01:40:27.149
the likes of Maricich and it's just bizarre but

01:40:27.149 --> 01:40:30.210
but Great stuff because before this game, like

01:40:30.210 --> 01:40:31.829
I said, they were undefeated in four or five

01:40:31.829 --> 01:40:36.609
games. Yes, and Fiorentina managed to to um to

01:40:36.609 --> 01:40:38.649
distance themselves from the nightmare that is

01:40:38.649 --> 01:40:40.689
relegation and man De Gea has been a key player

01:40:40.689 --> 01:40:44.630
for them he has been heroic um he's racking up

01:40:44.630 --> 01:40:47.689
some monstrous performances he had the one against

01:40:47.689 --> 01:40:49.869
Inter it was great the one against Hellas Verona

01:40:49.869 --> 01:40:51.930
a good performance against Cremonesia as well

01:40:51.930 --> 01:40:56.199
he had a bit of a tough spell where he was making

01:40:56.199 --> 01:40:58.300
a few mistakes and at one point we even called

01:40:58.300 --> 01:40:59.920
like this guy needs to be benched because he's

01:40:59.920 --> 01:41:02.539
doing more harm than good and goal but he's really

01:41:02.539 --> 01:41:06.579
picked up and he's one of the main reasons that

01:41:06.579 --> 01:41:09.859
they'll survive this season. He's one of the,

01:41:09.960 --> 01:41:12.399
we've said this, he's one of the few goalkeepers

01:41:12.399 --> 01:41:16.819
that could decide a game for you. There was a

01:41:16.819 --> 01:41:18.880
little bit of controversy in this game the 64th

01:41:18.880 --> 01:41:20.739
minute when Nostlin was booked for a simulation

01:41:20.739 --> 01:41:25.119
despite contact made with Mandragora Var deemed

01:41:25.119 --> 01:41:27.760
the contact to be insufficient and this would

01:41:27.760 --> 01:41:30.680
have been a Key moment for Lazio and in there

01:41:30.680 --> 01:41:32.239
while they were piling up the pressure and they

01:41:32.239 --> 01:41:34.800
could have got a penalty over there But that

01:41:34.800 --> 01:41:46.069
did not come to come to fruition want to point

01:41:46.069 --> 01:41:49.189
out Gawson's as well man Gawson's as a player

01:41:49.189 --> 01:41:51.949
where do you rate him like should he jump ship

01:41:51.949 --> 01:41:54.449
is he in the right place no no no he's in the

01:41:54.449 --> 01:41:59.609
right place he's in the spot where he can actually

01:41:59.609 --> 01:42:03.529
you know make his mark on a team start consistently

01:42:03.529 --> 01:42:09.489
and it's not like he's over performing he has

01:42:09.489 --> 01:42:12.890
very real moments as a player sometimes he's

01:42:12.890 --> 01:42:15.140
late sometimes he's out of position One thing

01:42:15.140 --> 01:42:17.539
that he has to his arsenal is much like Dumfries

01:42:17.539 --> 01:42:19.319
to a very different level, of course, is he can

01:42:19.319 --> 01:42:21.380
really attack that back post and aerially he's

01:42:21.380 --> 01:42:28.020
really solid. But he's one of the players, that

01:42:28.020 --> 01:42:30.760
being a bit harsh, but he is a has -been. He

01:42:30.760 --> 01:42:34.939
is nowhere near where he was when he was at Atalanta.

01:42:35.319 --> 01:42:38.659
You know what I mean? This is his level. Yes.

01:42:38.939 --> 01:42:44.800
At Atalanta in 2017 to 2022. he was he was great

01:42:44.800 --> 01:42:48.260
um he went to winter he declined a little bit

01:42:48.260 --> 01:42:49.899
of that injury he picked up the thing he went

01:42:49.899 --> 01:42:51.939
to winter injured exactly because and he had

01:42:51.939 --> 01:42:54.619
a bit of a fallout with gasperini because gasperini

01:42:54.619 --> 01:42:56.899
kept playing him while he was injured the panther

01:42:56.899 --> 01:42:58.640
or something like that i can't quite remember

01:42:58.640 --> 01:43:00.359
then he went to union berlin for a while now

01:43:00.359 --> 01:43:03.079
he's back with ferentina 31 years old strikes

01:43:03.079 --> 01:43:05.939
me he feels a little bit older i think he's worn

01:43:05.939 --> 01:43:09.140
a bit well an injury like that was acl no yeah

01:43:09.140 --> 01:43:11.380
i'm not sure what it was i can't remember but

01:43:11.380 --> 01:43:17.319
anyway Let's look at the standings. We have Fiorentina

01:43:17.319 --> 01:43:24.899
in 15th actually with 35 points now. They've

01:43:24.899 --> 01:43:27.739
jumped Caliari working their way up to safety.

01:43:28.199 --> 01:43:30.060
How high up can they go? They can technically

01:43:30.060 --> 01:43:34.729
aim for 12th. While Lazio are in ninth with 44

01:43:34.729 --> 01:43:37.350
points. It wasn't a hamstring injury. Oh, sorry.

01:43:37.390 --> 01:43:39.529
It wasn't an ACL. It was a hamstring injury,

01:43:39.689 --> 01:43:44.270
but a recurring one. So he had 15 games out with

01:43:44.270 --> 01:43:47.470
Atalanta and with his hamstring injury carried

01:43:47.470 --> 01:43:49.989
over to 16 games out at Inter. So it was quite

01:43:49.989 --> 01:43:52.890
a significant hamstring injury that screams torn

01:43:52.890 --> 01:43:55.250
hamstring to me. But unfortunately transfer market

01:43:55.250 --> 01:43:57.670
just as hamstring injury. Yeah. But anyway, if

01:43:57.670 --> 01:44:02.829
you miss a full season. screams torn to me absolutely

01:44:02.829 --> 01:44:05.170
brother while you set up the next one I'm gonna

01:44:05.170 --> 01:44:07.970
jump quickly I'm gonna bounce okay okay ciao

01:44:07.970 --> 01:44:11.109
bro alright no context he's obviously gonna pee

01:44:11.109 --> 01:44:17.649
but anyway Genoa to Sassuolo 1 so Genoa we're

01:44:17.649 --> 01:44:20.369
coming into this match on back -to -back losses

01:44:20.369 --> 01:44:23.529
to Udinese and Juve In this game they missed

01:44:23.529 --> 01:44:27.250
Norton Chaffee, Onana and Cornet. Sasuolo were

01:44:27.250 --> 01:44:29.770
coming off a victory over Cagliari and in really

01:44:29.770 --> 01:44:32.770
good form to be honest Sasuolo. They missed Boloca,

01:44:33.010 --> 01:44:36.289
Romagna, Pieragnolo and Cande. The previous encounter

01:44:36.289 --> 01:44:38.310
between these two sides was also a 2 -1 victory

01:44:38.310 --> 01:44:42.050
for Genoa away from home. 3 -4 to 1 formation

01:44:42.050 --> 01:44:44.850
for De Rossi's men below in goal, backline of

01:44:44.850 --> 01:44:47.989
Vasquez, Ostegard and Markandalli, Elertsen was

01:44:47.989 --> 01:44:50.550
on the left, Sabelli on the right, midfield duo

01:44:50.550 --> 01:44:53.590
of Malinovsky and Frendrup, with Wittini and

01:44:53.590 --> 01:44:57.289
Baldanzi playing behind Colombo. 4 -3 -3 for

01:44:57.289 --> 01:44:59.810
Grosso's men as obviously the two World Cup winners

01:44:59.810 --> 01:45:02.550
against each other with the managers. Moreich

01:45:02.550 --> 01:45:05.270
in goal, backline of Valukovic, Itzez, Muharemovich

01:45:05.270 --> 01:45:07.710
and Doig. A midfield three of Kohane and Matich

01:45:07.710 --> 01:45:10.710
and towards Vett with Berardi and Laureante flanking

01:45:10.710 --> 01:45:13.989
Pinamonti. The breakthrough came in the 18th

01:45:13.989 --> 01:45:15.989
minute when Malinovski just did Malinovski things

01:45:15.989 --> 01:45:19.510
and he fired a stunning long -range strike into

01:45:19.510 --> 01:45:22.170
the top corner to give Genoa the lead from quite

01:45:22.170 --> 01:45:24.729
some distance outside the box. Just before half

01:45:24.729 --> 01:45:28.270
-time the game boy - over as Erl Elertsen and

01:45:28.270 --> 01:45:30.710
Berardi were both sent off following a clash

01:45:30.710 --> 01:45:34.449
in the tunnel, leaving both sides with 10 men.

01:45:35.130 --> 01:45:37.149
Sassuolo came out sharper in the second half

01:45:37.149 --> 01:45:40.369
and equalised through Kone, who reacted quickest

01:45:40.369 --> 01:45:43.310
to a rebound from a corner after Muharremovic's

01:45:43.310 --> 01:45:46.029
initial effort was saved. With the game opening

01:45:46.029 --> 01:45:48.170
up, Genoa eventually found the winner late on

01:45:48.170 --> 01:45:50.689
when substitute Messias produced a clever dribble

01:45:50.689 --> 01:45:53.449
and a 1 -2 before slipping the ball past the

01:45:53.449 --> 01:45:55.789
onrushing Mourich for Ekoban to tap into the

01:45:55.789 --> 01:46:00.670
empty net to get a 2 -1 victory. Brother, yes,

01:46:00.909 --> 01:46:03.569
the most interesting thing in this game is we

01:46:03.569 --> 01:46:07.119
watched one half where it was 11 v 11 and then

01:46:07.119 --> 01:46:09.359
we watched another half that was 10v10 there

01:46:09.359 --> 01:46:13.300
was a brawling it is between um so the initial

01:46:13.300 --> 01:46:20.260
um drama was between But it was initially the

01:46:20.260 --> 01:46:22.979
initial argument was between Berardi and Sabelli

01:46:22.979 --> 01:46:26.260
because Sabelli went in hard on Berardi Berardi

01:46:26.260 --> 01:46:28.760
picked on Sabelli in the tunnel and Elertson

01:46:28.760 --> 01:46:32.520
and Vasquez basically got involved and Elertson

01:46:32.520 --> 01:46:34.680
even more involved and it ended up being quite

01:46:34.680 --> 01:46:37.979
a scuffle so they both got sent off but that

01:46:37.979 --> 01:46:41.859
opening um 45 minutes where it was 11 v 11 and

01:46:41.859 --> 01:46:43.979
then 10 v 10 changed the game completely now

01:46:43.979 --> 01:46:46.960
you can say like ah but they they as long as

01:46:46.960 --> 01:46:48.859
they both have the same amount of players there's

01:46:48.859 --> 01:46:54.060
no real advantage bullshit they this this was

01:46:54.060 --> 01:46:58.300
a great piece of work by genoa to get berardi

01:46:58.300 --> 01:47:01.510
out of the game and they lose ellertson Fuck

01:47:01.510 --> 01:47:04.069
it big deal big whoop exactly but but varieties

01:47:04.069 --> 01:47:06.229
off of the other team and they actually could

01:47:06.229 --> 01:47:08.649
go for it without variety over There's the offensive

01:47:08.649 --> 01:47:10.369
threat because suddenly they can just double

01:47:10.369 --> 01:47:14.310
up double up on his counterpart on lauriente

01:47:14.310 --> 01:47:17.329
and totally defuse the the team from progressing

01:47:17.329 --> 01:47:20.449
and I thought that this was a very well managed

01:47:20.449 --> 01:47:23.529
game by by genuine a very entertaining game It

01:47:23.529 --> 01:47:26.270
was entertaining. And again, I loved seeing that

01:47:26.270 --> 01:47:29.350
difference. So just to explain a little bit how

01:47:29.350 --> 01:47:32.710
the nature of the game shifted, it went from

01:47:32.710 --> 01:47:35.989
when it was 11v11, it was a structured tactical

01:47:35.989 --> 01:47:38.909
battle. And then the second half, it became a

01:47:38.909 --> 01:47:40.829
bit more like a Premier League game where it

01:47:40.829 --> 01:47:43.350
was more end to end. There was more space to

01:47:43.350 --> 01:47:46.710
be exposed, far more open and chaotic. Obviously,

01:47:46.729 --> 01:47:49.289
there's more space to operate. It makes total

01:47:49.289 --> 01:47:53.659
sense. And before the break Sassuolo looked more

01:47:53.659 --> 01:47:56.220
organized, they looked more aggressive, more

01:47:56.220 --> 01:47:58.720
with a clear attacking shape as we're used to

01:47:58.720 --> 01:48:01.779
with Sassuolo. But once both sides went down

01:48:01.779 --> 01:48:06.500
to 10 men, the midfield became stretched, control

01:48:06.500 --> 01:48:09.619
dropped and the game turned into one of transitions

01:48:09.619 --> 01:48:13.239
and second balls. This initially suited Sassuolo

01:48:13.239 --> 01:48:15.619
for the reasons you can imagine, because of players

01:48:15.619 --> 01:48:18.520
like Lauriente who can attack the space and they

01:48:18.520 --> 01:48:21.729
looked more dangerous in open space. and used

01:48:21.729 --> 01:48:25.189
that to find the equalizer in fact but Genoa

01:48:25.189 --> 01:48:30.890
eventually adapted better to the chaos and rather

01:48:30.890 --> 01:48:33.989
than trying to regain control they leaned into

01:48:33.989 --> 01:48:36.510
that broken rhythm of the game much to probably

01:48:36.510 --> 01:48:40.850
Deros's Enjoyment being a hard man and they introduced

01:48:40.850 --> 01:48:43.869
fresh legs and quicker combinations most notably

01:48:43.869 --> 01:48:46.210
they brought on who near messias Allowing them

01:48:46.210 --> 01:48:48.850
to capitalize late on with some pace and and

01:48:48.850 --> 01:48:50.970
breaking through the lines and he was decisive

01:48:50.970 --> 01:48:53.390
man He got the assist and Ekuban too who does

01:48:53.390 --> 01:48:55.090
a whole lot of running and has become somewhat

01:48:55.090 --> 01:48:57.350
of a cult hero for the Genoa team against all

01:48:57.350 --> 01:49:01.449
odds Aha, bro. This was a very very impressive

01:49:01.449 --> 01:49:03.710
victory by Genoa and their stadium is one of

01:49:03.710 --> 01:49:05.750
the most electric stadiums in the league and

01:49:05.750 --> 01:49:07.439
just so enjoyable to watch man they have such

01:49:07.439 --> 01:49:11.600
a nice atmosphere yeah for me it goes Milan as

01:49:11.600 --> 01:49:13.479
my top teams I'm saying of course and then and

01:49:13.479 --> 01:49:18.539
then I Calliari who I love as in teams that I

01:49:18.539 --> 01:49:22.720
love mainly because of atmosphere and then it's

01:49:22.720 --> 01:49:25.560
Genoa man just just such a historic team nine

01:49:25.560 --> 01:49:29.899
Scudetti nine Scudetti for Genoa they were robbed

01:49:29.899 --> 01:49:32.539
of a tent against Bologna yes they were robbed

01:49:32.539 --> 01:49:35.979
of a tent the the ghost goal it never went it

01:49:35.979 --> 01:49:39.069
was it wasn't that game replayed like 20 times

01:49:39.069 --> 01:49:41.510
and then because they kept fighting man they

01:49:41.510 --> 01:49:43.909
kept fucking the fans kept the fucking job get

01:49:43.909 --> 01:49:46.270
up punching the ref it got replayed like four

01:49:46.270 --> 01:49:51.979
times it's crazy yeah um Yes, good reaction from

01:49:51.979 --> 01:49:54.199
De Rossi of course in this game. De Rossi continues

01:49:54.199 --> 01:49:58.659
to be underrated. I was screaming for the Nazionale

01:49:58.659 --> 01:50:01.619
to go for De Rossi over Gattuso, but they saw

01:50:01.619 --> 01:50:05.020
Gattuso as more of a motivator etc. I think De

01:50:05.020 --> 01:50:08.140
Rossi is criminally underrated because of that

01:50:08.140 --> 01:50:11.289
bad start he had with Roma. Do you remember,

01:50:11.390 --> 01:50:13.810
sorry the bad spell he had at Roma, the bad start

01:50:13.810 --> 01:50:16.789
to that season, do you remember the impact that

01:50:16.789 --> 01:50:20.050
De Rossi had when he joined Roma post Mourinho?

01:50:20.250 --> 01:50:24.670
A club? that had just lost Daddy Mourinho after

01:50:24.670 --> 01:50:28.010
three seasons fan favorite Mourinho a father

01:50:28.010 --> 01:50:30.390
figure De Rossi comes in of course they chose

01:50:30.390 --> 01:50:33.229
him strategically because De Rossi is a legend

01:50:33.229 --> 01:50:36.310
but he got past Milan in the Europa League he

01:50:36.310 --> 01:50:38.210
got them some consistency he got them attacking

01:50:38.210 --> 01:50:41.449
football you know De Rossi is a super underrated

01:50:41.449 --> 01:50:44.250
manager his in -game management is great what

01:50:44.250 --> 01:50:47.869
i would say um as a counterpoint is that while

01:50:47.869 --> 01:50:50.430
i agree that the rossi is a good manager he does

01:50:50.430 --> 01:50:53.369
need to rack up a bit more experience yes but

01:50:53.369 --> 01:50:56.689
so did gattuso but even yes sure but gattuso

01:50:56.689 --> 01:51:01.510
has has managed clubs for full seasons across

01:51:01.510 --> 01:51:04.590
many seasons the rossi has the rossi had a full

01:51:04.590 --> 01:51:07.850
season with a club he had the half a season with

01:51:07.850 --> 01:51:09.789
roma and then half a season with roma he was

01:51:09.789 --> 01:51:12.770
sacked exactly and now he's he's doing so with

01:51:12.770 --> 01:51:15.630
spal maybe and it was awful and he was sacked

01:51:15.630 --> 01:51:18.569
it wasn't even a full season he had he was he

01:51:18.569 --> 01:51:21.829
was doing terribly so i think he would need to

01:51:21.829 --> 01:51:25.069
work on his um his CV a little bit before taking

01:51:25.069 --> 01:51:27.210
on something and just establish yourself as a

01:51:27.210 --> 01:51:29.890
manager when you work in club football you are

01:51:29.890 --> 01:51:33.050
working full time kind of you know you're constantly

01:51:33.050 --> 01:51:35.569
in and out every day when you work for the national

01:51:35.569 --> 01:51:37.289
team it's like taking a little bit of a step

01:51:37.289 --> 01:51:40.430
aside and kind of working but to a certain extent

01:51:40.430 --> 01:51:43.689
part -time but obviously yes it's I think I think

01:51:43.689 --> 01:51:46.789
tactically if whoever was in charge of Italy

01:51:46.789 --> 01:51:50.310
watched games that see that De Rossi from a tactical

01:51:50.310 --> 01:51:52.609
perspective and an in -game management perspective

01:51:52.609 --> 01:51:56.020
was stronger than Gattuso. in my opinion it's

01:51:56.020 --> 01:51:58.199
but but anyway that's uh that that's gone in

01:51:58.199 --> 01:52:00.399
the past because one of them is managing genoa

01:52:00.399 --> 01:52:02.380
and the other one left the italian national team

01:52:02.380 --> 01:52:06.859
now um sasual are in 11th on 42 points while

01:52:06.859 --> 01:52:10.140
genoa find themselves in 13th on 36 points gone

01:52:10.140 --> 01:52:11.920
are them days when they were relegation threat

01:52:11.920 --> 01:52:15.739
inside under viera and gone are those hours that

01:52:15.739 --> 01:52:19.630
you have been waiting for kalyari one Cremonesa

01:52:19.630 --> 01:52:23.630
nil as it is finally upon us. We had Caprila

01:52:23.630 --> 01:52:26.569
in goal for Cagliari in their 4 -2 -3 -1 system

01:52:26.569 --> 01:52:29.810
with Palestramina, Rodriguez and Obert at the

01:52:29.810 --> 01:52:32.430
back, Mazzitelli and Gaetano's double pivot with

01:52:32.430 --> 01:52:35.310
Esposito on the right, Folloruncio on the left

01:52:35.310 --> 01:52:39.430
and Deola playing behind Borelli. As for Cremonesa,

01:52:39.489 --> 01:52:41.909
it was Audeiro in goal in their 4 -4 -2 formation,

01:52:42.130 --> 01:52:45.590
their 4 -4 -tiki -taka -2. Pezzella, Luperto,

01:52:45.710 --> 01:52:47.829
Basquerotto and Terracciano were at the back

01:52:47.829 --> 01:52:50.149
with Vande pute on the left Mussolini on the

01:52:50.149 --> 01:52:52.909
right with Grassi and Bondo in the middle Okereke

01:52:52.909 --> 01:52:56.729
and Bonazzoli started up front now Calieri edged

01:52:56.729 --> 01:53:01.369
this one despite only having 35 % ball possession

01:53:01.369 --> 01:53:04.810
they won thanks to a lovely Esposito header after

01:53:04.810 --> 01:53:07.970
a brilliant cross from Zepedro this goal came

01:53:07.970 --> 01:53:12.260
in the 63rd minute and the cross went to the

01:53:12.260 --> 01:53:14.699
back post and the header bounced awkwardly past

01:53:14.699 --> 01:53:17.319
Audeiro. Now Cremonesi actually came out as the

01:53:17.319 --> 01:53:19.539
better team over here and they were really playing

01:53:19.539 --> 01:53:23.659
well particularly through the transition phase.

01:53:25.020 --> 01:53:27.159
They were carrying the ball really well through

01:53:27.159 --> 01:53:29.819
Grassi and Bonazzoli and Ocarreque had a lovely

01:53:29.819 --> 01:53:31.439
chance where he attempted to dribble the keeper

01:53:31.439 --> 01:53:34.939
and he messed it up. He missed two actually good

01:53:34.939 --> 01:53:37.359
chances Okereke and the first half yes was all

01:53:37.359 --> 01:53:39.279
entirely Cremonesi and then in the second half

01:53:39.279 --> 01:53:43.359
that's when Caliari switched the gear They kind

01:53:43.359 --> 01:53:45.880
of realized that they were struggling centrally

01:53:45.880 --> 01:53:48.000
Gaetano this game was operating as kind of a

01:53:48.000 --> 01:53:51.279
deep lying playmaker But in the second half they

01:53:51.279 --> 01:53:53.520
managed to seize control they pushed palestra

01:53:53.520 --> 01:53:57.720
higher up they Albert made a lot of forward runs

01:53:57.720 --> 01:53:59.399
and was crossing the ball and he was crossing

01:53:59.399 --> 01:54:01.739
it very well as well Albert I was surprised man

01:54:02.220 --> 01:54:05.100
Well, he can deliver crosses. He even took a

01:54:05.100 --> 01:54:06.659
corner at one point. I think it should be their

01:54:06.659 --> 01:54:09.800
main corner taker, to be honest, because brilliant

01:54:09.800 --> 01:54:13.560
accuracy. Yes, I thought this game was extremely

01:54:13.560 --> 01:54:15.840
entertaining and I had no doubt in my mind that

01:54:15.840 --> 01:54:18.760
Calieri would win this one. You had no doubt?

01:54:18.880 --> 01:54:20.760
I had no doubt. I even said so in the prediction

01:54:20.760 --> 01:54:23.960
that Calieri would win. Calieri simply had to

01:54:23.960 --> 01:54:26.020
win this match. And I think when it comes to

01:54:26.020 --> 01:54:29.039
quality, they edge Cremones, even though when

01:54:29.039 --> 01:54:32.300
I first started watching this game, I was worried.

01:54:32.739 --> 01:54:34.800
I was very worried because Cremones, they were

01:54:34.800 --> 01:54:37.720
just tiki -taka -ing their way through them and

01:54:37.720 --> 01:54:39.779
cutting them open, man, in the first half. And

01:54:39.779 --> 01:54:43.060
I mean the... I couldn't be so confident about

01:54:43.060 --> 01:54:45.520
Kalyari because their last victory was on the

01:54:45.520 --> 01:54:48.920
31st of January before this game and then they

01:54:48.920 --> 01:54:53.619
racked up 1, 2, 3, 4, 5, 6 losses and 2 draws

01:54:53.619 --> 01:54:58.060
in a row including a loss against Pisa who had

01:54:58.060 --> 01:55:02.729
a man sent off Okay, and then some other I lost

01:55:02.729 --> 01:55:06.010
to Lecce at home, you know So so they were properly

01:55:06.010 --> 01:55:08.569
properly dipping into relegation territory and

01:55:08.569 --> 01:55:12.050
they deserve to be there after those games, but

01:55:12.050 --> 01:55:15.399
it was it was surprising to me because they were

01:55:15.399 --> 01:55:17.180
on a three -match winning streak they were doing

01:55:17.180 --> 01:55:19.760
so well they had just beaten Juve for crying

01:55:19.760 --> 01:55:22.600
out loud and then they just went through that

01:55:22.600 --> 01:55:25.119
ridiculous dip and now this six -pointer was

01:55:25.119 --> 01:55:27.859
huge for them because now they are six points

01:55:27.859 --> 01:55:31.180
ahead of Cremonaese and ahead of Lecce of course

01:55:31.180 --> 01:55:33.939
six games to go so they're not in the clear yet

01:55:33.939 --> 01:55:37.619
and what kind of games do they have upcoming

01:55:37.619 --> 01:55:40.539
I mean they're not exactly the easiest games

01:55:40.539 --> 01:55:44.970
in the world because they play Inter next, and

01:55:44.970 --> 01:55:47.729
then Atalanta, and then Bologna, and then Odinese,

01:55:47.909 --> 01:55:52.189
and then Torino, and then Milan. Really, really

01:55:52.189 --> 01:55:54.369
fucking tough. Thankfully for them, it seems

01:55:54.369 --> 01:55:57.090
like Lecce can't win a game at this point. Neither

01:55:57.090 --> 01:56:04.689
can Cremona. Yeah, absolutely, bro. The control

01:56:04.689 --> 01:56:07.430
of the game was... This is something that we've

01:56:07.430 --> 01:56:09.390
talked about before about following show, right?

01:56:09.569 --> 01:56:12.029
Following show kind of like not really helping

01:56:12.540 --> 01:56:16.420
much when it comes to control of games. When

01:56:16.420 --> 01:56:18.520
he was taken out and Zepedro came in, that's

01:56:18.520 --> 01:56:23.939
when the game really changed. He's got a good

01:56:23.939 --> 01:56:26.800
ball, he's got a good foot on him. We also saw

01:56:26.800 --> 01:56:29.579
the return of Bellotti in the 88th minute, came

01:56:29.579 --> 01:56:33.960
back and he was... obviously on the on the bench

01:56:33.960 --> 01:56:36.340
and a very animated figure and you can tell he's

01:56:36.340 --> 01:56:38.439
one of the leaders in the in the dressing room

01:56:38.439 --> 01:56:41.199
and Bellotti's fall from grace has to be studied

01:56:41.199 --> 01:56:45.140
it's unbelievable aha he's one of those that

01:56:46.250 --> 01:56:49.930
I mean, he was always quite injury prone. There

01:56:49.930 --> 01:56:52.869
were crazy links with him to Milan for like 90

01:56:52.869 --> 01:56:56.310
million and 80 million young and someone else

01:56:56.310 --> 01:56:58.489
80 million young and like, I don't know man,

01:56:58.609 --> 01:57:03.229
fucking Palletta, literally. That didn't go through.

01:57:03.369 --> 01:57:05.069
I think he was really pushing for it. I think

01:57:05.069 --> 01:57:06.590
he really wanted that move and it would have

01:57:06.590 --> 01:57:12.930
made Cairo rich. But he always struggled with

01:57:12.930 --> 01:57:16.069
injuries and then just he gets back and he's

01:57:16.069 --> 01:57:18.170
not himself and then it happens again and he's

01:57:18.170 --> 01:57:20.350
not pressing like he used to he's not as sharp

01:57:20.350 --> 01:57:23.090
as he was ring rust suddenly has to prove himself

01:57:23.090 --> 01:57:26.529
and then ring rust goes on a bit longer you know

01:57:26.529 --> 01:57:29.289
and i think he had a season at rome i he did

01:57:29.289 --> 01:57:31.250
where he barely featured yeah that's it because

01:57:31.250 --> 01:57:33.529
then he he ended up always constantly having

01:57:33.529 --> 01:57:36.149
to prove himself whereas torino was the guy you

01:57:36.149 --> 01:57:39.789
know what i mean um i am very impressed also

01:57:39.789 --> 01:57:43.949
by uh the center back partner of mina rodriguez

01:57:44.519 --> 01:57:48.159
um his name is he is a very good center back

01:57:48.159 --> 01:57:53.460
and he has forced his spot over dosena man dosena

01:57:53.460 --> 01:57:55.560
was brought into to play and he hasn't been playing

01:57:55.560 --> 01:57:59.000
um so very impressed by what do you like about

01:57:59.000 --> 01:58:02.140
uh Juan Rodriguez Juan Rodriguez is very combative

01:58:02.140 --> 01:58:04.420
man he's tidy with the ball at his feet you know

01:58:04.420 --> 01:58:06.960
he's he's a good good defender man he defends

01:58:06.960 --> 01:58:10.359
very well he's another one of these um kind of

01:58:10.359 --> 01:58:12.920
old school defenders there are quite a few men

01:58:12.920 --> 01:58:15.039
in Italy right now there are some very underrated

01:58:15.039 --> 01:58:18.140
defenders well he won his ground duels in this

01:58:18.140 --> 01:58:22.760
game 3 -4 -3 you know yeah great and also interesting

01:58:22.760 --> 01:58:26.479
to to point out that Luperto had kind of uh one

01:58:26.479 --> 01:58:28.560
of those walks you know we walk around applauding

01:58:28.560 --> 01:58:31.560
a walk of what do you call it of course around

01:58:31.560 --> 01:58:36.060
of course i have guard of honor is different

01:58:36.060 --> 01:58:38.899
yeah but Luperto bro I see him like this, reminds

01:58:38.899 --> 01:58:42.840
me of CJ, patron CJ. Shoutout patron CJ. Luperto

01:58:42.840 --> 01:58:46.659
joined Cremonese to follow Davide Nicola, who's

01:58:46.659 --> 01:58:49.659
been sacked since, that must suck. Be careful

01:58:49.659 --> 01:58:51.539
following him, because he might produce a miracle

01:58:51.539 --> 01:58:53.659
and you need to ride a bike for the full length

01:58:53.659 --> 01:58:58.460
of Italy. So with this, through this game, this

01:58:58.460 --> 01:59:00.420
was by definition a six -pointer, because right

01:59:00.420 --> 01:59:02.039
now, Cali are refining themselves six points

01:59:02.039 --> 01:59:05.520
ahead of Cremonese. Caliari are in 16th with

01:59:05.520 --> 01:59:08.779
33 points, Cremones are in 17th with 27 points.

01:59:09.039 --> 01:59:11.319
Last game we're going to be covering Torino 2

01:59:11.319 --> 01:59:13.539
Hellas 1. Before we get into anything I want

01:59:13.539 --> 01:59:16.460
to share my condolences with Caliari and the

01:59:16.460 --> 01:59:20.260
family of young Ismael Pistis. Yeah, with Torino,

01:59:20.380 --> 01:59:24.020
right? Sorry, with Torino, yes of course. What

01:59:24.020 --> 01:59:26.060
did I say? Callieri? I said Callieri, of course

01:59:26.060 --> 01:59:30.380
I did. So rest in peace Ismael Pistis. It was

01:59:30.380 --> 01:59:33.000
absolutely heartbreaking. I was watching the

01:59:33.000 --> 01:59:35.260
highlights of this game and there was a minute

01:59:35.260 --> 01:59:38.220
of silence and as usual I'm expecting to see

01:59:38.220 --> 01:59:42.100
some kind of 94 year old conservative on the

01:59:42.100 --> 01:59:46.640
big screen but it was an 8 year old Torino Academy

01:59:46.640 --> 01:59:50.800
player who died in a car crash and it's absolutely

01:59:50.800 --> 01:59:53.699
devastating. Definitely gone too early man, 8

01:59:53.699 --> 01:59:58.390
years old. but you know what if you if you if

01:59:58.390 --> 02:00:01.789
you pass at eight years old you must think that

02:00:01.789 --> 02:00:04.750
the world is such a beautiful place because you

02:00:04.750 --> 02:00:06.710
have that innocence in you and you don't get

02:00:06.710 --> 02:00:10.170
to see how fucked up this place can can can be

02:00:10.170 --> 02:00:15.899
I guess so I guess. Two wins in a row for Daversas

02:00:15.899 --> 02:00:19.640
Torino. Now they missed Zapata, Savva and Abuklal

02:00:19.640 --> 02:00:22.140
in this game. Hellas have now lost four matches

02:00:22.140 --> 02:00:25.060
in a row. They missed Suslov, Serdar, Ketchup

02:00:25.060 --> 02:00:27.460
and Lovric. The previous encounter between these

02:00:27.460 --> 02:00:30.340
two sides was a 3 -0 away victory for Torino.

02:00:31.830 --> 02:00:34.430
Paliari was in goal for the Versa's men in their

02:00:34.430 --> 02:00:37.750
3 -5 -2. Backline of Ebosse, Ismaili and Cocco.

02:00:37.930 --> 02:00:39.989
Obrador was on the left, Pedersen on the right,

02:00:40.529 --> 02:00:42.350
and a midfield three of Vlasic, Gennatus and

02:00:42.350 --> 02:00:44.890
Cassaday, with Shea Adams and Simeone starting

02:00:44.890 --> 02:00:47.510
up front together. It was also a 3 -5 -2 for

02:00:47.510 --> 02:00:49.630
Hellas Verona. Monte Paul in goal, backline of

02:00:49.630 --> 02:00:52.289
Nelson, Edmondson and Fréze. Belgali on the left,

02:00:52.409 --> 02:00:55.449
Ogeyoke on the right, and a midfield three of...

02:00:55.520 --> 02:00:58.739
Was that Akpah Akpro? Yes. Gagliardini and Bernadette

02:00:58.739 --> 02:01:01.579
with Haruhi and Bowie starting up front together.

02:01:01.960 --> 02:01:04.159
Torino struck early when you guessed it Simeone

02:01:04.159 --> 02:01:06.699
netted against his former club. He always does

02:01:06.699 --> 02:01:10.119
that. But the visitors responded strongly and

02:01:10.119 --> 02:01:12.319
levelled through Bowie who held off Ismaili very

02:01:12.319 --> 02:01:15.199
well and scored a 1 -1 after a direct pass forward.

02:01:15.600 --> 02:01:17.560
Torino did believe that there was a foul but

02:01:17.560 --> 02:01:20.890
grow up. Verona ended the first half with more

02:01:20.890 --> 02:01:23.369
momentum including a Gagliardini header hitting

02:01:23.369 --> 02:01:25.909
the bar and some dangerous transitions but Torino

02:01:25.909 --> 02:01:28.770
changed the game after the after the break immediately

02:01:28.770 --> 02:01:31.329
upping the tempo and regaining control and they

02:01:31.329 --> 02:01:33.630
retook the lead when Cassaday finished from close

02:01:33.630 --> 02:01:37.310
range after Abrador's cross shot into the area

02:01:38.939 --> 02:01:41.699
then Verona continued struggling and Shea Adams

02:01:41.699 --> 02:01:43.979
had a goal ruled out after another brilliant

02:01:43.979 --> 02:01:46.640
cross by Obrador and what a header that was by

02:01:46.640 --> 02:01:48.960
Shea Adams but there was some kind of marginal

02:01:48.960 --> 02:01:53.340
offside in the build up three years ago because

02:01:53.340 --> 02:01:58.020
Simeone would have impeded with play after just

02:01:58.020 --> 02:02:01.600
signing for Torino like but Simeone always scores

02:02:01.600 --> 02:02:04.420
against his former teams and I decided it's a

02:02:04.420 --> 02:02:07.760
mental thing he is Cholo's son bro and you know

02:02:07.760 --> 02:02:11.140
it's that him being Cholito yeah that's the blood

02:02:11.140 --> 02:02:13.640
of his father against your former team you score

02:02:13.640 --> 02:02:17.340
you score right he also tends to score early

02:02:17.340 --> 02:02:19.720
in games he got that goal early against Napoli

02:02:19.720 --> 02:02:21.060
who are his ex he always seems to get a goal

02:02:21.060 --> 02:02:24.380
nice and early for Torino and not quite sure

02:02:24.380 --> 02:02:27.100
what it is about him just just an interesting

02:02:27.100 --> 02:02:29.619
observation and his career trajectory is also

02:02:29.619 --> 02:02:36.239
very weird Simeone because he he went from Genoa

02:02:36.239 --> 02:02:40.000
to Fiorentina to Caliari to Hellas to I think

02:02:40.000 --> 02:02:43.500
no sorry sorry from Genoa to Fiorentina to Caliari

02:02:43.500 --> 02:02:47.979
to Napoli and then to Hellas really strange no

02:02:47.979 --> 02:02:49.739
Hellas and then to Napoli and then to Torino

02:02:49.739 --> 02:02:52.420
sorry sorry yes exactly the listener has no idea

02:02:52.420 --> 02:02:55.539
where he started and where he ended Genoa was

02:02:55.539 --> 02:02:57.819
his first Italian team in 1617 and I remember

02:02:57.819 --> 02:02:59.500
that team I think he was playing with Susa who

02:02:59.500 --> 02:03:01.939
was on loan over there I barely remember him

02:03:01.939 --> 02:03:06.439
at He scored 12 goals for Genoa. He's a prolific

02:03:06.439 --> 02:03:07.939
scorer, a man everywhere he's been, even he had

02:03:07.939 --> 02:03:10.720
one season with Fiorentina 14 goals, Calieri

02:03:10.720 --> 02:03:12.779
had a season where he scored 12 goals, and then

02:03:12.779 --> 02:03:14.600
this season where he was at Calieri Antellas

02:03:14.600 --> 02:03:17.859
he managed 17 goals in that season. And then

02:03:17.859 --> 02:03:19.699
he went to Napoli in his first season there he

02:03:19.699 --> 02:03:22.020
scored 9, but then got kind of phased out of

02:03:22.020 --> 02:03:23.760
course and stopped having as much impact as a

02:03:23.760 --> 02:03:25.479
sub, and now he's on 9 goals for Torino. You

02:03:25.479 --> 02:03:28.539
know what it was? He would get his goals in...

02:03:28.430 --> 02:03:31.289
Like we used to joke, he got those 17 goals in

02:03:31.289 --> 02:03:34.310
five games. Exactly, exactly. And then he used

02:03:34.310 --> 02:03:38.710
to do nothing. We used to call that front three,

02:03:38.850 --> 02:03:42.810
Kevin Lasagna. um Giovanni Simeone and Kalanich

02:03:42.810 --> 02:03:46.090
and Kalanich ed ed and eddy dumb dumber dumb

02:03:46.090 --> 02:03:48.970
it yeah literally uh Cassaday is developing nicely

02:03:48.970 --> 02:03:51.210
into a midfielder that makes late runs into the

02:03:51.210 --> 02:03:53.310
box and reads the game quite well one of those

02:03:53.310 --> 02:03:55.949
street smart kind of um attacking midfielders

02:03:55.949 --> 02:03:59.029
good to see box to box midfielders rather um

02:03:59.029 --> 02:04:01.109
interesting to see Paliari continuing to get

02:04:01.109 --> 02:04:03.250
the start he commanded his box really weirdly

02:04:03.250 --> 02:04:06.340
at a point and almost conceded it's when Verona

02:04:06.340 --> 02:04:09.159
hit the post he came out so rash and I thought

02:04:09.159 --> 02:04:12.420
Israel looked good for the most part so I don't

02:04:12.420 --> 02:04:15.800
know why that's a decision that's been made and

02:04:15.800 --> 02:04:18.399
of course Torino continued to improve under Daversa

02:04:18.399 --> 02:04:22.420
I think they'll hang on to him because he seems

02:04:22.420 --> 02:04:24.699
to fit them like sometimes it just works and

02:04:24.699 --> 02:04:26.479
it's looking like it's working with Daversa and

02:04:26.479 --> 02:04:29.460
Torino Shout out to Bowie. He scored a very good

02:04:29.460 --> 02:04:32.460
game. World Cup is coming up. So hopefully he

02:04:32.460 --> 02:04:34.220
could do the same for Scotland. Out -muscled

02:04:34.220 --> 02:04:35.979
the centre back very nicely. Bowie's got some

02:04:35.979 --> 02:04:38.640
size on him. It does have some size on him. Some

02:04:38.640 --> 02:04:42.619
good girth. Anyway, but nothing works A for Hellas.

02:04:42.939 --> 02:04:45.720
so unlucky this season even the fact that that

02:04:45.720 --> 02:04:49.000
center back got absolutely destroyed by that

02:04:49.000 --> 02:04:52.439
by that simple shimmy like oh otherwise and otherwise

02:04:52.439 --> 02:04:55.399
was it again the the scary looking one what's

02:04:55.399 --> 02:04:59.479
his name Edmundson he looks scary he does look

02:04:59.479 --> 02:05:02.119
scary a simple change in direction and he hit

02:05:02.119 --> 02:05:05.539
the fucking floor bro it was comical yeah nah

02:05:05.539 --> 02:05:08.880
but Verona and Pisa soon will both be confirmed

02:05:08.880 --> 02:05:14.100
into Serie B i mean 18th place Lecce are fucking

02:05:14.100 --> 02:05:16.560
nine points ahead of them at this point and you

02:05:16.560 --> 02:05:18.600
know Verona have three wins all season Pisa have

02:05:18.600 --> 02:05:21.039
two wins all season it's not good enough they

02:05:21.039 --> 02:05:24.779
both have how many losses they both have well

02:05:24.779 --> 02:05:28.800
Verona have 20 losses Pisa have 18 so chow away

02:05:28.800 --> 02:05:33.939
and Verona in 19th on 18 points while Torino

02:05:33.939 --> 02:05:36.399
in 12th on 39 points now they've really turned

02:05:36.399 --> 02:05:42.659
their season around so that is that we have an

02:05:42.659 --> 02:05:47.140
update regarding our fantasy league exactly and

02:05:47.140 --> 02:05:50.279
i also want to mention briefly that i caught

02:05:50.279 --> 02:05:52.859
a little bit of seria seria b this weekend and

02:05:52.859 --> 02:05:55.380
i i really enjoyed it had been ages since i watched

02:05:55.380 --> 02:05:59.569
it it's just so you know when you watch Serie

02:05:59.569 --> 02:06:02.810
A you feel that the quality is it can be a little

02:06:02.810 --> 02:06:05.170
bit low this season and the games are a little

02:06:05.170 --> 02:06:09.930
bit slow but but in Serie B man that that it

02:06:09.930 --> 02:06:13.149
makes the games into a spectacle yeah something

02:06:13.149 --> 02:06:15.850
happened something is in the air so there was

02:06:15.850 --> 02:06:18.829
a goal scored by a goalkeeper in Serie B which

02:06:18.829 --> 02:06:22.670
was just absolutely amazing last kick of the

02:06:22.670 --> 02:06:24.409
game and I believe Ballardini was the manager

02:06:24.409 --> 02:06:28.949
just into my veins and then there was the the

02:06:28.949 --> 02:06:31.010
Palermo game where they were playing against

02:06:31.010 --> 02:06:33.750
I want to be accurate but I was so surprised

02:06:33.750 --> 02:06:36.930
by how direct Palermo were playing they needed

02:06:36.930 --> 02:06:39.050
a goal granted they were playing against Frosinone

02:06:39.050 --> 02:06:42.090
and this was a massive game for them and Palermo

02:06:42.090 --> 02:06:44.750
were literally passing the ball laying it off

02:06:44.750 --> 02:06:48.449
and crossing over and over again repeatedly until

02:06:48.449 --> 02:06:50.590
they got a goal through Ranocchia on the 89th

02:06:50.590 --> 02:06:54.750
minute against Frosinone This is Ranocchia who

02:06:54.750 --> 02:06:58.130
was at Monza. It's absolutely amazing right now,

02:06:58.229 --> 02:07:02.369
the title race in Serie B. Set the scene a bit,

02:07:02.390 --> 02:07:04.409
what's the table like? Venezia are first with

02:07:04.409 --> 02:07:08.609
72 points, so 34 games have been played. Frosinone

02:07:08.609 --> 02:07:11.850
and Monza have 69 points in second and third,

02:07:11.869 --> 02:07:14.909
and then Palermo are in fourth with 65 points.

02:07:15.750 --> 02:07:18.130
Madonna. And of course it's all to play for in

02:07:18.130 --> 02:07:20.770
the playoffs as well. We have Catanzaro, Modena,

02:07:20.930 --> 02:07:23.729
Yuva Stabia and Cesena who are... all in the

02:07:23.729 --> 02:07:25.489
top eight of course you've established it's just

02:07:25.489 --> 02:07:29.170
been announced that um their main financial backing

02:07:29.170 --> 02:07:31.710
or their main financial support there's a massive

02:07:31.710 --> 02:07:34.189
question mark over it and something might happen

02:07:34.189 --> 02:07:38.470
to them uh are there um as part of their coaching

02:07:38.470 --> 02:07:41.649
team um in ninth place with 42 points there are

02:07:41.649 --> 02:07:43.670
two points off of a playoff spot so they're all

02:07:43.670 --> 02:07:47.909
are there still and even a man can sneak into

02:07:47.909 --> 02:07:49.409
the playoff spot because they're on 40 points

02:07:49.409 --> 02:07:54.130
just two points beneath man it's great man, it's

02:07:54.130 --> 02:07:57.149
great and Spezia are dead last by the way my

02:07:57.149 --> 02:07:59.649
god last season they were fighting for it even

02:07:59.649 --> 02:08:03.569
Bari and Pescara listen to the storylines Pescara

02:08:03.569 --> 02:08:06.270
are 19th but they've been on very good form since

02:08:06.270 --> 02:08:09.109
the return of Insinia who's carrying them and

02:08:09.109 --> 02:08:12.329
playing really well um in fact they've they've

02:08:12.329 --> 02:08:14.270
racked up a few wins since his arrival and if

02:08:14.270 --> 02:08:18.189
you look at his uh stats that's interesting Insinia

02:08:19.710 --> 02:08:23.329
Lorenzo and Sinia for Pescara 34 years old nowadays

02:08:23.329 --> 02:08:26.989
yeah we can count them actually like this one

02:08:26.989 --> 02:08:29.810
two three four goals and two assists since arriving

02:08:29.810 --> 02:08:33.350
crazy man yeah We should catch some more Serie

02:08:33.350 --> 02:08:37.750
B. We covered the playoffs eventually. Yeah,

02:08:37.750 --> 02:08:42.270
of course. And the new teams that come up. We're

02:08:42.270 --> 02:08:46.510
getting ready. Okay, let's jump to our fantasy

02:08:46.510 --> 02:08:49.789
league. So when it comes to this week, how we

02:08:49.789 --> 02:08:53.930
did was I actually had the best week on 92 .5.

02:08:53.930 --> 02:08:59.739
I absolutely killed it this week. Barela to assist,

02:08:59.920 --> 02:09:03.319
I had Paz, McTominay, Marlin, Hatrick, I had

02:09:03.319 --> 02:09:07.859
an Esposito goal I had a defender do something

02:09:07.859 --> 02:09:10.619
as well, I had a Pedersen, I had a Pedersen assist.

02:09:11.039 --> 02:09:15.020
Pedersen got me an eight. That's pretty much

02:09:15.020 --> 02:09:17.380
it. You could see Mattias was only one behind

02:09:17.380 --> 02:09:23.060
me. Point five behind him was... I always forget.

02:09:23.319 --> 02:09:26.539
Matt, I think. Matt. Can't not talk about Maxi,

02:09:26.560 --> 02:09:30.619
who is the leader. 87 so I did make up some ground

02:09:30.619 --> 02:09:34.260
over there Grock Gilmore with 85 .5 Sheik Ritegi

02:09:34.260 --> 02:09:38.000
with 85 and Saponara Semen the guy on my right

02:09:38.000 --> 02:09:42.300
on 83 so let's have a look at the standings now

02:09:42.300 --> 02:09:46.260
and Now it's heating up at the top. I'm not taking

02:09:46.260 --> 02:09:48.979
the piss. I am just eight points behind him We

02:09:48.979 --> 02:09:51.239
have similar teams, but I don't think he has

02:09:52.220 --> 02:09:56.180
Nico Paz for example so if he scores a doppietta

02:09:56.180 --> 02:09:58.739
or something it could get really close or maybe

02:09:58.739 --> 02:10:00.979
one of his guys does it and mine doesn't and

02:10:00.979 --> 02:10:03.779
he extends the the gap but it is fucking close

02:10:03.779 --> 02:10:06.439
now the closest it's been that's eight point

02:10:06.439 --> 02:10:11.779
five points that that separates seven eight nine

02:10:11.779 --> 02:10:17.729
nine No, eight eight eight point eight point

02:10:17.729 --> 02:10:21.649
five, uh -huh Enter your mom in third grock Gilmore

you like Syria out or have ever liked it in the

02:14:07.260 --> 02:14:09.680
past, it's a good opportunity for you to listen

02:14:09.680 --> 02:14:12.159
once a week and you'll get filled in. The football

02:14:12.159 --> 02:14:14.380
weekend, that's like the main dish. But then

02:14:14.380 --> 02:14:17.539
a few days later, you drop your episode and that's

02:14:17.539 --> 02:14:20.460
like the dessert. And the dessert is just perfect.

02:14:20.800 --> 02:14:23.500
It's good, okay? It makes it feel like we're

02:14:23.500 --> 02:14:25.979
all sitting in a room together just BSing with

02:14:25.979 --> 02:14:30.199
each other. The atmosphere is fantastic. I promise

02:14:30.199 --> 02:14:33.760
nobody will ask you to send boob pics. Sometimes

02:14:33.760 --> 02:14:36.460
maybe good, sometimes maybe shit. I love how

02:14:36.460 --> 02:14:40.039
you go into so much detail and show so much passion

02:14:40.039 --> 02:14:44.880
towards each and every team. Literally no team

02:14:44.880 --> 02:14:48.619
is left undiscussed. When I listen to you, it's

02:14:48.619 --> 02:14:51.500
like I'm talking to you in a pub. It's like I'm

02:14:51.500 --> 02:14:53.640
chatting to a friend and you're chatting to me.
