1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:22,480
This goal was scored by Fabio Cannavaro for Inter against Regina into 2003-04 season hitting

2
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:25,440
the top corner from some serious distance.

3
00:00:25,440 --> 00:00:29,760
It was a fantastic strike, we'll be uploading the video on TikTok so make sure you check

4
00:00:29,760 --> 00:00:30,760
that out.

5
00:00:30,760 --> 00:00:36,880
Bro, the only defender to ever win the Ballon d'Or and he's 5'9".

6
00:00:36,880 --> 00:00:38,400
There's hope for you in this world.

7
00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:42,880
I'm gonna win a Ballon d'Or from center back.

8
00:00:42,880 --> 00:00:44,920
You might not but you can.

9
00:00:44,920 --> 00:00:45,920
I can.

10
00:00:45,920 --> 00:00:46,920
Thank you.

11
00:00:46,920 --> 00:00:47,920
Thank you.

12
00:00:47,920 --> 00:00:52,480
You know sometimes when I feel odd about being 5'9", I look up celebrities that are 5'9' and

13
00:00:52,480 --> 00:00:53,960
I feel slightly better about myself.

14
00:00:53,960 --> 00:00:54,960
Who's 5'9"?

15
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:58,120
Connor McGregor is actually 5'9'.

16
00:00:58,120 --> 00:01:01,240
And Tom Cruise is like 5'8", 5'7".

17
00:01:01,240 --> 00:01:04,280
So those are a couple of guys that are my height slash shorter.

18
00:01:04,280 --> 00:01:07,120
But Fabio Cannavaro, what a fucking guy.

19
00:01:07,120 --> 00:01:11,700
It's funny that we uploaded a goal from his Inter days which is probably the team he is

20
00:01:11,700 --> 00:01:14,960
least associated with out of the teams where he's played.

21
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:20,200
In fact he spent most of his career in Italy, he started out as a youth with Napoli and

22
00:01:20,200 --> 00:01:23,680
he was promoted to their senior squad in 1991.

23
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:29,000
He had spent 4 years at Napoli and he played 58 games and even managed to score his first

24
00:01:29,000 --> 00:01:32,160
professional goal which was against Milan in San Siro.

25
00:01:32,160 --> 00:01:34,560
Yeah I bet he remembers that one.

26
00:01:34,560 --> 00:01:41,000
It was all going swimmingly for Cannavaro bro at Napoli until you know the post Maradona

27
00:01:41,000 --> 00:01:47,240
era really hit Napoli hard and they were desperate for funds and were forced to sell Cannavaro

28
00:01:47,240 --> 00:01:50,680
to Parma where he stayed until 2002 actually.

29
00:01:50,680 --> 00:01:55,240
He played 212 games for Parma and scored 5 goals with them bro.

30
00:01:55,240 --> 00:01:59,440
Yep Parma and then on the other hand would be the team that Cannavaro is associated with

31
00:01:59,440 --> 00:02:00,440
the most.

32
00:02:00,440 --> 00:02:05,080
Some people might think that it's Juve but that's because they're probably our age.

33
00:02:05,080 --> 00:02:08,440
He is in fact a Parma legend.

34
00:02:08,440 --> 00:02:12,240
He became a regular starter there, he earned the captain's armband and he even won the

35
00:02:12,240 --> 00:02:16,880
Coppa Italia and his only European trophy which was the UEFA Cup back when Parma were

36
00:02:16,880 --> 00:02:20,120
a powerhouse and Giugio Buffon was there as well.

37
00:02:20,120 --> 00:02:26,040
He was also named in the Serie A team of the season and he was the defender of the year

38
00:02:26,040 --> 00:02:28,320
on one occasion as well.

39
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:34,080
He made his senior debut with Italy too when he was playing with Parma and in 1996 Parma

40
00:02:34,080 --> 00:02:39,480
finished second behind Juve and Serie A qualifying for the CL actually so Cannavaro actually

41
00:02:39,480 --> 00:02:41,600
played in the Champions League with Parma.

42
00:02:41,600 --> 00:02:44,000
My god, my god.

43
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,160
And then when they qualified for the Champions League they played the group stages, they

44
00:02:48,160 --> 00:02:54,160
came second in the group stages behind Borussia Dortmund who were the champions at that time

45
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,720
and they actually eliminated because back then only first would go through.

46
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:02,680
So someone's been around for quite some time.

47
00:03:02,680 --> 00:03:04,620
Yeah, that's true.

48
00:03:04,620 --> 00:03:08,000
He moved to Inter for 23 million in 2002.

49
00:03:08,000 --> 00:03:10,280
23 million was a lot for a defender back then.

50
00:03:10,280 --> 00:03:14,560
A lot in 2002, 23 million is a fucked up for a defender.

51
00:03:14,560 --> 00:03:16,960
He didn't enjoy his time at Inter bro.

52
00:03:16,960 --> 00:03:18,680
He was often played out of position.

53
00:03:18,680 --> 00:03:22,640
He struggled with injury and particularly that thigh injury.

54
00:03:22,640 --> 00:03:27,520
He's since spoken quite negatively about his spell at Inter in comparison to Juve and

55
00:03:27,520 --> 00:03:28,520
Parma of course.

56
00:03:28,520 --> 00:03:34,960
In fact, he had only spent two seasons there and he moved to Juve in 2004.

57
00:03:34,960 --> 00:03:40,360
The deal had involved the exchange of the reserve keeper at the time who was Fabio Ancarini.

58
00:03:40,360 --> 00:03:45,800
He left for Inter and both players were priced at 10 million so we could call that a bit

59
00:03:45,800 --> 00:03:47,480
of a barter.

60
00:03:47,480 --> 00:03:51,960
At Juve obviously he was united with former Parma teammate Gigi Buffon.

61
00:03:51,960 --> 00:03:57,360
Yeah, it was all going well for him once again but he seems to be at the right place at the

62
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:58,360
wrong time.

63
00:03:58,360 --> 00:04:05,200
Napoli first being forced to sell and then of course Juve in 2006 suffering, well suffering,

64
00:04:05,200 --> 00:04:10,600
being punished for the Calciopoli incident.

65
00:04:10,600 --> 00:04:12,160
They were relegated to Serie A.

66
00:04:12,160 --> 00:04:18,560
He therefore moved to Real Madrid where he lifted the Ballon d'Or for his efforts with

67
00:04:18,560 --> 00:04:23,600
Italy in 2006 in the World Cup where they actually won it and he lifted it as captain.

68
00:04:23,600 --> 00:04:30,760
It was that summer of 2006 where everyone was aware of Calciopoli and it was the investigations

69
00:04:30,760 --> 00:04:31,960
going on.

70
00:04:31,960 --> 00:04:35,000
Everyone's waiting for the news to see what's going to happen to Juve.

71
00:04:35,000 --> 00:04:43,160
In the meantime, Cannavaro was playing his heart out in the World Cup for Italy.

72
00:04:43,160 --> 00:04:47,040
They lifted the trophy and in the meantime was also negotiating a move away from that

73
00:04:47,040 --> 00:04:50,880
mess and he joined Real Madrid as well.

74
00:04:50,880 --> 00:04:55,240
He lifted the Ballon d'Or with Real Madrid but it was due to his efforts for Italy and

75
00:04:55,240 --> 00:04:56,640
Juventus as well.

76
00:04:56,640 --> 00:04:58,560
Yeah definitely.

77
00:04:58,560 --> 00:05:03,600
A mere 7 million is what Real Madrid paid taking advantage of Juve's desperate need

78
00:05:03,600 --> 00:05:06,280
to make fans and players forcing their way out.

79
00:05:06,280 --> 00:05:10,080
Probably the cheapest Ballon d'Or player in history, 7 million.

80
00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:13,680
He also wore Zidane's number 5 shirt at Real Madrid.

81
00:05:13,680 --> 00:05:16,400
I remember that.

82
00:05:16,400 --> 00:05:19,640
He eventually went on to leave Real Madrid in 2009.

83
00:05:19,640 --> 00:05:23,520
He was given a standing ovation by the fans on his final match of the Bernabeu.

84
00:05:23,520 --> 00:05:28,720
This will be the last time he was probably celebrated as a player in a top league at

85
00:05:28,720 --> 00:05:33,440
least because then he rejoined Juve on a free where his relationship with the fans had already

86
00:05:33,440 --> 00:05:39,240
been a little bit fragile as many fans viewed him as a traitor due to the fact that he

87
00:05:39,240 --> 00:05:44,440
left to Madrid as they were relegated.

88
00:05:44,440 --> 00:05:51,880
When he did rejoin Juve, a fun fact is that they played Real in 2009 in the Peace Cup

89
00:05:51,880 --> 00:05:57,680
in summer in pre-season and Cannavaro scored and it was I believe Ronaldo's second game

90
00:05:57,680 --> 00:06:03,240
for Real or one of his first three games because Ronaldo's first one was against Shamrock Rovers

91
00:06:03,240 --> 00:06:05,920
and winning that got them to the final of this.

92
00:06:05,920 --> 00:06:06,920
It was something like that.

93
00:06:06,920 --> 00:06:11,960
And he scored on his return and he didn't celebrate so that was quite sweet and probably

94
00:06:11,960 --> 00:06:16,360
gave Juve fans a reason to hate him even more.

95
00:06:16,360 --> 00:06:22,360
Things went from bad to worse for Cannavaro of course with Juventus as in a UEFA Europa

96
00:06:22,360 --> 00:06:29,580
League tie against Fulham, Juve had won the first leg 3-1 and were winning 1-0 at Craven

97
00:06:29,580 --> 00:06:38,280
Cottage in London and early in the first half Cannavaro accumulated two yellow cards.

98
00:06:38,280 --> 00:06:44,600
Reduced to 10 men, Juve collapsed and lost 4-1 and were eliminated on aggregate.

99
00:06:44,600 --> 00:06:50,000
Cannavaro enraged supporters with his sending off and his role in the team's elimination.

100
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:54,400
And it wasn't only in the UEFA Cup where Cannavaro struggled, he was part of a Juventus

101
00:06:54,400 --> 00:06:59,000
team that finished 7th in the league that season with Cannavaro starting and it was

102
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:01,720
in fact their worst finish in a decade.

103
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:06,880
He was deemed unreliable by the fans and his contract wasn't renewed.

104
00:07:06,880 --> 00:07:13,120
Napoli didn't even want to sign Cannavaro despite Cannavaro publicly declaring his desire

105
00:07:13,120 --> 00:07:20,680
to join them and he ended up playing for Alakhli in 2010 for just one season before retiring.

106
00:07:20,680 --> 00:07:25,820
Yeah, not a very glamourous end to his career but of course it was a very glistening career

107
00:07:25,820 --> 00:07:26,920
for him.

108
00:07:26,920 --> 00:07:32,640
He won pretty much, he didn't win everything but he won some of the best things you can

109
00:07:32,640 --> 00:07:33,640
win as a football player.

110
00:07:33,640 --> 00:07:38,520
And the man literally lifted the World Cup and the Ballon d'Or in two seasons.

111
00:07:38,520 --> 00:07:40,880
He played for Real Madrid, he played for Juve.

112
00:07:40,880 --> 00:07:43,760
The man shouldn't really have any complaints over there.

113
00:07:43,760 --> 00:07:46,200
Champions League would have been nice for him.

114
00:07:46,200 --> 00:07:48,200
Of course but he played with Juve for the major league.

115
00:07:48,200 --> 00:07:49,200
That was never going to happen.

116
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:54,600
In fact his only European trophy came with Parma despite playing for Inter and Juve.

117
00:07:54,600 --> 00:08:00,280
So we spoke a bit about a couple of controversies when it comes to Cannavaro.

118
00:08:00,280 --> 00:08:03,440
He's certainly been no stranger to them.

119
00:08:03,440 --> 00:08:08,640
Do you remember that thing the night before the 1999 UEFA Cup final?

120
00:08:08,640 --> 00:08:13,840
A video had come out of him being injected with a substance in his arm.

121
00:08:13,840 --> 00:08:17,880
I remember bro, I was only 4 years old, I was watching the video.

122
00:08:17,880 --> 00:08:20,720
No come on, the news bro.

123
00:08:20,720 --> 00:08:22,120
I did look into it.

124
00:08:22,120 --> 00:08:25,240
It turned out to be neoten.

125
00:08:25,240 --> 00:08:26,240
Excuse my pronunciation.

126
00:08:26,240 --> 00:08:29,480
Let me call Joe Rogan for a second.

127
00:08:29,480 --> 00:08:32,120
Apparently it's something you can inject into your body.

128
00:08:32,120 --> 00:08:38,240
It's used for cardiac surgery to protect the heart during periods of stress basically.

129
00:08:38,240 --> 00:08:41,320
It helps produce muscle energy apparently.

130
00:08:41,320 --> 00:08:46,600
It's not on the band's substance list though and Cannavaro therefore got away uncharged.

131
00:08:46,600 --> 00:08:51,600
It was however then in 2009 that Cannavaro failed another drug test.

132
00:08:51,600 --> 00:08:53,320
This time with Juve.

133
00:08:53,320 --> 00:08:59,280
But it was claimed it was medication given due to a severe allergic reaction to a wasp

134
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:01,240
sting.

135
00:09:01,240 --> 00:09:02,240
How interesting.

136
00:09:02,240 --> 00:09:07,320
Due to the urgency of the situation Cannavaro could not request permission before taking

137
00:09:07,320 --> 00:09:12,080
this medication and the charges were eventually dropped.

138
00:09:12,080 --> 00:09:15,520
The most recent one came in February 2015.

139
00:09:15,520 --> 00:09:22,880
Cannavaro and his wife Daniela along with his brother Paolo were handed quite a few

140
00:09:22,880 --> 00:09:25,160
month long prison sentences.

141
00:09:25,160 --> 00:09:32,160
It was actually 10 months for Cannavaro, 4 months for his wife and 6 months for his brother

142
00:09:32,160 --> 00:09:37,000
because they breached orders and entered Fabio's residence after it had been seized by the

143
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:38,880
authorities in 2009.

144
00:09:38,880 --> 00:09:43,280
That was because of some fucking tax evasion.

145
00:09:43,280 --> 00:09:47,120
All three have appealed and will have their sentences suspended until the final judgement

146
00:09:47,120 --> 00:09:49,560
has been made and apparently it has not been made yet.

147
00:09:49,560 --> 00:09:50,560
Oh my god.

148
00:09:50,560 --> 00:09:54,000
Well a bit of preference for the World Cup winner.

149
00:09:54,000 --> 00:10:01,120
I don't think I'd give a shout out to his brother Paolo because Napoli did want Paolo

150
00:10:01,120 --> 00:10:06,600
and you know he's a legend at Napoli.

151
00:10:06,600 --> 00:10:12,480
Yes he actually has 238 appearances for them.

152
00:10:12,480 --> 00:10:16,740
He actually left though in 1999 along with his brother.

153
00:10:16,740 --> 00:10:23,120
They both went to Parma but then the difference being that Paolo actually did go back to Napoli

154
00:10:23,120 --> 00:10:29,160
where he spent between 2006 to 2014 over there before moving to Sassuolo and eventually retiring

155
00:10:29,160 --> 00:10:30,160
in 2017.

156
00:10:30,160 --> 00:10:35,160
Ah not too long ago man and I remember having Cannavaro in the league but I remember him

157
00:10:35,160 --> 00:10:36,240
with Napoli.

158
00:10:36,240 --> 00:10:40,240
I can't really recall him at Sassuolo.

159
00:10:40,240 --> 00:10:46,840
Well Fabio and then on the other hand has had a shift in career as he's shifted to

160
00:10:46,840 --> 00:10:48,000
management.

161
00:10:48,000 --> 00:10:50,120
He's had stints with OK.

162
00:10:50,120 --> 00:10:51,600
Bear with me.

163
00:10:51,600 --> 00:11:03,840
He's had stints at Guangzhou, Al Nasser, Tianjin Qunzhan and China.

164
00:11:03,840 --> 00:11:04,840
I know that one.

165
00:11:04,840 --> 00:11:08,240
That's a bit easier.

166
00:11:08,240 --> 00:11:14,160
But yeah I highly rate Fabio Cannavaro as a great defender.

167
00:11:14,160 --> 00:11:16,680
One of my favorite Italian defenders in history.

168
00:11:16,680 --> 00:11:21,040
I'm not going to compare him to the likes of Maldini and Nesta for example but he was

169
00:11:21,040 --> 00:11:24,880
definitely an elegant center back and an absolute thief man.

170
00:11:24,880 --> 00:11:27,000
The man really knew how to tackle.

171
00:11:27,000 --> 00:11:28,000
He did.

172
00:11:28,000 --> 00:11:29,000
He was a very good defender.

173
00:11:29,000 --> 00:11:31,520
Of course he had a lot of grinta.

174
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:37,360
He was very aggressive and he really made up for his height with his massive balls.

175
00:11:37,360 --> 00:11:39,520
Pretty much with his massive helium balls.

176
00:11:39,520 --> 00:11:41,680
He used to jump really high.

177
00:11:41,680 --> 00:11:46,720
I remember him jumping really high and I remember he didn't used to mind a little swing of the

178
00:11:46,720 --> 00:11:49,080
elbow when he went up for these headers.

179
00:11:49,080 --> 00:11:50,080
These pre-vardies.

180
00:11:50,080 --> 00:11:55,240
Must have been quite a nightmare for any striker that played against Italy who had Cannavaro

181
00:11:55,240 --> 00:11:58,960
and Matarazzi as the back two.

182
00:11:58,960 --> 00:11:59,960
Can you imagine?

183
00:11:59,960 --> 00:12:13,560
For the first time Fabio Cannavaro has done this Salzburg check and individuals hold up

184
00:12:13,560 --> 00:12:23,100
an highlight back as standard attackers at strikeback.

185
00:12:23,100 --> 00:12:34,580
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Seiya Spotlight where you're hosting Jake

186
00:12:34,580 --> 00:12:43,300
and Matt and Andiamo Berlino Beppe Ashbyn and they fucking went all the way, 2006 and now

187
00:12:43,300 --> 00:12:45,700
once again incredible scenes.

188
00:12:45,700 --> 00:12:49,860
You could hear through that commentary piece the work of Fabio Carnivore, he was amazing

189
00:12:49,860 --> 00:12:55,860
that tour. That double tackle was absurd to say the least. You know what else is absurd

190
00:12:55,860 --> 00:13:06,660
bro? You beating me in the prediction series? No, episode 37. Episode 37, woo! With 3 games

191
00:13:06,660 --> 00:13:12,740
to go, season 1 is going to be 40 episodes long, well probably we'll come out with a

192
00:13:12,740 --> 00:13:18,420
rounded up season 1 of Seiya Spotlight so it's called 41 episodes, something of the

193
00:13:18,420 --> 00:13:23,820
sort. It's really cool bro that we have a log, we can go back in the future like when

194
00:13:23,820 --> 00:13:28,340
we're 50 years old and listen to the podcast and see how that season in 2022 went, that's

195
00:13:28,340 --> 00:13:33,540
pretty cool. It is cool, it is cool, probably the world would have fucking ended by there

196
00:13:33,540 --> 00:13:40,540
because we live in a world of viruses and wars. We'd be speaking Russian by then. I

197
00:13:40,540 --> 00:13:46,980
mean in fact, but yes guys if you want to have a log of us talking football don't forget

198
00:13:46,980 --> 00:13:54,980
to follow us on Instagram, Twitter, TikTok and also give us a nice little rating on Spotify,

199
00:13:54,980 --> 00:14:00,220
Google Play, Apple Podcasts or wherever the fuck you're listening, it'll help us heaps.

200
00:14:00,220 --> 00:14:05,580
That would be grand guys, thank you very much. Shall we quickly run through the prediction

201
00:14:05,580 --> 00:14:12,340
series? Okay, okay let's address the prediction series, of course you beat me. 12-7, I'm now

202
00:14:12,340 --> 00:14:17,700
one behind with three matches to go. Yes, this is as tight as the league bro. It is

203
00:14:17,700 --> 00:14:23,180
as tight as the league, I have a lot of supporters behind me. There's Flynn, there's Gabriel.

204
00:14:23,180 --> 00:14:28,340
I don't have a single person who has told me come on bro you've got this. Why would

205
00:14:28,340 --> 00:14:32,380
anyone tell you that shit? To be honest bro, I'm kind of like right now, it pains me to

206
00:14:32,380 --> 00:14:38,060
say it but I'm kind of like Juve when they were on that 9-league run, I was destroying

207
00:14:38,060 --> 00:14:43,460
you at the point bro, I was absolutely annihilating you. If you go back a few episodes. You were

208
00:14:43,460 --> 00:14:51,900
beating me 4 or 5-0 bro. I think possibly even 6. No, shut it please. It was like 4

209
00:14:51,900 --> 00:14:58,300
or 5 and I remember I had to call you something weird for a while. What was it again? The

210
00:14:58,300 --> 00:15:04,060
Oracle. The Oracle. But bro let's just say I have something special if I do take it home,

211
00:15:04,060 --> 00:15:09,180
I have a little announcement I would like to make but let's save that for if I do win

212
00:15:09,180 --> 00:15:13,580
the prediction series. I was trying to give everyone a hard one. That's what I'm doing,

213
00:15:13,580 --> 00:15:20,220
I'm trying to get people to tune in bro. I respect, Jake's got a surprise for us guys.

214
00:15:20,220 --> 00:15:27,460
Matt you asked me three times. But anyway please. Yep, so just like last week we are

215
00:15:27,460 --> 00:15:32,860
going to be reading out the results with Jake beatboxing in the background. Am I actually

216
00:15:32,860 --> 00:15:37,660
going to do that again? I would like you to bro. I would like you to. I just had a whistle

217
00:15:37,660 --> 00:15:44,780
every now and then. That's going to throw me off, I might think it's half time. Sure,

218
00:15:44,780 --> 00:15:51,300
come on let's do this. Let's go. Okay, so Milan managed to stay ahead of Inter after

219
00:15:51,300 --> 00:15:56,580
beating Fiorentina 1-0 with a layout goal in the 80th minute. Inter did manage to get

220
00:15:56,580 --> 00:16:02,220
back to winning ways beating Udinese away from home with the score of 2-1. Napoli redeemed

221
00:16:02,220 --> 00:16:09,460
themselves beating Suswala 6-1 at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. Juve once again boring

222
00:16:09,460 --> 00:16:15,260
but managed to get past Venezia with 2 goals to 1. Roma and Bologna were held at a 0-0

223
00:16:15,260 --> 00:16:21,940
stalemate. Spezia gave Lazio the game of their lives but Lazio got away with a 4-3 away victory.

224
00:16:21,940 --> 00:16:28,300
Atalanta and Salernitana ended 1-1 thanks to a late passage goal. Caliari were defeated

225
00:16:28,300 --> 00:16:35,420
at home, Verona away winning 2-1. Empoli lost at home to Torino with the score of 3-1 and

226
00:16:35,420 --> 00:16:42,580
the Derby della Lanterna finished with a victory for Sampdoria 1-0 with a late penalty miss

227
00:16:42,580 --> 00:16:49,220
for Crisito. Oh yes. You see that's quite enjoyable bro, I would enjoy listening to

228
00:16:49,220 --> 00:16:56,540
that. One day we're going to get like, I like the podcast but that fucking beatboxing part

229
00:16:56,540 --> 00:17:04,460
of it. Just skip, skip, skip, skip, skip. But things are finally taking shape in Serie A,

230
00:17:04,460 --> 00:17:11,140
we have the four Champions League teams qualified, ready of course, Milan, Inter, Napoli and

231
00:17:11,140 --> 00:17:17,380
Juventus will be featuring in the Champions League. Of course Roma, Lazio, Fiorentina and

232
00:17:17,380 --> 00:17:22,120
Atalanta continue to battle it out for the Europa League. Swat spot as Verona linger

233
00:17:22,120 --> 00:17:26,580
in the background. The relegation pool is still a complete mystery right now, you know, so

234
00:17:26,580 --> 00:17:31,700
it's still very exciting guys. Yep. Tomorrow, by the time you're listening maybe it would

235
00:17:31,700 --> 00:17:36,220
have already happened, there's Salernitana-Venezia. It's a massive one. It's gonna be massive.

236
00:17:36,220 --> 00:17:39,460
That's a relegation six-pointer if I've ever fucking seen one. I can't wait to watch it

237
00:17:39,460 --> 00:17:44,420
man. Yeah same, 6 o'clock right after work. We should just record a fucking episode dedicated

238
00:17:44,420 --> 00:17:49,380
to that game man. A live watch. A live viewing. But anyway. It's actually not a bad one. It's

239
00:17:49,380 --> 00:17:53,860
not and we should look into that for next season. But anyway, shall we get down bro

240
00:17:53,860 --> 00:17:58,300
to it? Sure, I'll kick this one off. So the first game we're going to be covering is Milan

241
00:17:58,300 --> 00:18:05,460
1, Fiorentina 0. So we all remember the reverse fixture. It was Fiorentina for Milan 3. There

242
00:18:05,460 --> 00:18:10,820
was that Ibra do Pietà, there were a couple of goals for Vlavic as well as Saponara, Scremer

243
00:18:10,820 --> 00:18:16,500
with Tatarasano on goal of course for Milan. Milan have officially won two consecutive

244
00:18:16,500 --> 00:18:21,620
home games for the first time in 2022. Quite a surprising one bro considering they've been

245
00:18:21,620 --> 00:18:27,580
undefeated for so long. That's true. Fiorentina were coming off a 4-0 home loss to Udinese

246
00:18:27,580 --> 00:18:33,540
and a 2-1 away loss to Salernitana. So a bit of a dip in form here for La Viola in their

247
00:18:33,540 --> 00:18:38,900
quest for European football. Milan on the other hand are coming off an impressive away

248
00:18:38,900 --> 00:18:45,820
victory against Lazio with a score of 2-1 and are unbeaten in their last 13 Serie A games

249
00:18:45,820 --> 00:18:52,060
now. So regarding the play by play, it was just the one goal in the 82nd minute by Leao.

250
00:18:52,060 --> 00:18:56,460
Terracciano really had no passing options and his long pass ended up falling straight

251
00:18:56,460 --> 00:19:01,860
to Leao who took advantage of a disorganised Fiorentina defence to say the least, who watched

252
00:19:01,860 --> 00:19:06,240
as Leao finished into the near corner where probably Terracciano could have done better

253
00:19:06,240 --> 00:19:12,260
to keep it out as well. He committed really early and the ball literally went straight

254
00:19:12,260 --> 00:19:17,520
into his path but he underrated obviously. What did you make of this game bro?

255
00:19:17,520 --> 00:19:23,860
So I think that Milan had a lot of control on the game but risked really fucking everything

256
00:19:23,860 --> 00:19:29,940
up. There was that opportunity by Cabral when Mike literally saved Milan. What a save by

257
00:19:29,940 --> 00:19:36,540
Milan. That was an incredible reaction save. But you know I think that right now the offensive

258
00:19:36,540 --> 00:19:41,780
line of Milan really leaves a lot to be desired. You just look at the statistics for example

259
00:19:41,780 --> 00:19:46,620
you look at the possession held for example you see Leao had the most from Milan's forwards

260
00:19:46,620 --> 00:19:52,900
with 2.1% possession. You compare that to for example Saponara he had 3.3%, Nico Gonzalez

261
00:19:52,900 --> 00:20:00,780
had 4.5% of possession. Diaz 1.1%, Messias 0.9%. So Messias wasn't involved in the game

262
00:20:00,780 --> 00:20:05,220
at all. I can't even remember a single situation where Messias did something.

263
00:20:05,220 --> 00:20:13,740
I genuinely forgot that Messias played bro he was unremarkable. Giroud 1.5% again it's

264
00:20:13,740 --> 00:20:18,460
not enough you know what I mean. They really struggled to contain, to hold the ball, to

265
00:20:18,460 --> 00:20:22,780
fucking create opportunities to do anything with it to be honest.

266
00:20:22,780 --> 00:20:27,700
And it's still inevitable that Milan have most of the work in the team that needs to

267
00:20:27,700 --> 00:20:31,940
be done is in the final third with the striker, the right winger and the attacking midfielder.

268
00:20:31,940 --> 00:20:36,260
These are three obvious changes that need to be addressed by Milan's board as they

269
00:20:36,260 --> 00:20:42,420
will be addressed in the summer market. So obviously Milan still struggling to get goals.

270
00:20:42,420 --> 00:20:46,780
But if there's one thing that I noticed is Milan were much more patient to get that goal.

271
00:20:46,780 --> 00:20:52,500
It was the 70th minute, the 80th minute and Milan weren't kicking the ball up directly

272
00:20:52,500 --> 00:20:57,940
to Zlatan and pressing and going all out. They were patient, they were playing the ball

273
00:20:57,940 --> 00:21:04,340
around, overlapping, changing of play from one side to another. It was patient, this

274
00:21:04,340 --> 00:21:09,100
is a young side that is experienced in being in this situation.

275
00:21:09,100 --> 00:21:13,460
Definitely that's the point I was about to make. How many times have Milan found themselves

276
00:21:13,460 --> 00:21:20,940
in this situation? The 80th minute they need a goal, being rash, being impulsive, trying

277
00:21:20,940 --> 00:21:26,980
to make the headlines and all that. And I think finally there's a little bit of calmness,

278
00:21:26,980 --> 00:21:33,580
a little bit of serenity, a bit of belief in it. They believe that they can do it. Be

279
00:21:33,580 --> 00:21:38,140
it the Tonali moment, be it a while back that moment in Portugal, remember in the Europa

280
00:21:38,140 --> 00:21:42,700
League fucking playoff against that penalty shootout, the never ending one. Remember that

281
00:21:42,700 --> 00:21:47,700
many of these guys were there. Many of these guys remember that. There have been many character

282
00:21:47,700 --> 00:21:51,460
molding moments and this is a young team and there will continue to be more moments like

283
00:21:51,460 --> 00:21:55,460
this. If this group can stay together, it will be very promising.

284
00:21:55,460 --> 00:22:02,660
Oh 100%, 100%. Now this group that you're talking about have only managed to score 61

285
00:22:02,660 --> 00:22:10,100
goals this season. This is the same amount as Verona and it's less than Atalanta, Lazio,

286
00:22:10,100 --> 00:22:17,940
Inter and Napoli. On the other hand, Milan have only conceded 30, so half of that, which

287
00:22:17,940 --> 00:22:24,500
is second best to Inter who have conceded 29. Could this be a repeat of that Capello

288
00:22:24,500 --> 00:22:27,420
season? You know what I'm talking about when I say that Capello season.

289
00:22:27,420 --> 00:22:33,740
That Capello season was incredible. Milan conceded 15 goals in a season, just 15 goals, scoring

290
00:22:33,740 --> 00:22:37,060
only 36, 36 in 34 games.

291
00:22:37,060 --> 00:22:38,380
That was the crazy part.

292
00:22:38,380 --> 00:22:43,620
That's the crazy part. You win a league by scoring 36 goals in 34 games, that explains

293
00:22:43,620 --> 00:22:49,460
it. You've conceded only 15. That was prime Maldini and prime Borelli of course.

294
00:22:49,460 --> 00:22:51,940
Milan won the trap music that year as well, fun fact.

295
00:22:51,940 --> 00:22:58,180
I don't think we'll be seeing Milan win the Champions League next season. But yeah, we

296
00:22:58,180 --> 00:23:03,100
might be seeing something similar to those numbers with regards to goals conceded. I

297
00:23:03,100 --> 00:23:08,980
mean that back line is only going to improve together over time. It'll be interesting to

298
00:23:08,980 --> 00:23:14,100
see what happens with Kalulu, with Botman coming in, whether Kalulu will be taking that

299
00:23:14,100 --> 00:23:18,660
right back slot ahead of Calabria so that Milan can have another captain on the bench,

300
00:23:18,660 --> 00:23:22,460
whether Romagnoli is going to stay because he suddenly loves the club after he realises

301
00:23:22,460 --> 00:23:25,140
that Lazio are broke.

302
00:23:25,140 --> 00:23:29,140
He realises that Milan's offer is actually more than Lazio's who might actually stay.

303
00:23:29,140 --> 00:23:32,220
There's a lot of news right now, everything needs to be taken with a pinch of salt of

304
00:23:32,220 --> 00:23:36,900
course. I'm not even entirely sure about the Botman thing, everyone's talking about Botman,

305
00:23:36,900 --> 00:23:37,900
Botman, Botman.

306
00:23:37,900 --> 00:23:40,900
It sounds like Botman's confirmed, everyone's talking like Botman's confirmed.

307
00:23:40,900 --> 00:23:42,180
I don't think Botman's confirmed.

308
00:23:42,180 --> 00:23:46,500
Everyone talks as though Botman and Renato Sanchez have arrived, when in reality we don't

309
00:23:46,500 --> 00:23:52,060
even know who Milan's owners are going to be next season. So the budget might be more,

310
00:23:52,060 --> 00:23:57,380
the priorities might be elsewhere, like Milan might have a different sporting director,

311
00:23:57,380 --> 00:24:00,340
probably not, that probably won't be the case, but basically we don't know.

312
00:24:00,340 --> 00:24:06,420
Exactly, Elon Musk might buy Milan, you know what I mean, we literally never know.

313
00:24:06,420 --> 00:24:12,780
So we spoke a little bit about Milan here, obviously we don't want to get too much into

314
00:24:12,780 --> 00:24:16,700
are Milan going to win the league, are Milan going to do this, are Milan going to do that.

315
00:24:16,700 --> 00:24:22,740
Milan have three tough games left, it is away to Verona, at home to Atalanta and away to

316
00:24:22,740 --> 00:24:28,420
Sassuolo. Today week me and Jake would be what, three days away from, four days away

317
00:24:28,420 --> 00:24:33,460
from going up to Milan to watch the game, so both very excited here, but let's talk

318
00:24:33,460 --> 00:24:37,020
Fiorentina a little bit in the meantime.

319
00:24:37,020 --> 00:24:45,300
Fiorentina bro, played decently, much better, a good reaction compared to their 4-0 defeat

320
00:24:45,300 --> 00:24:46,300
to Udinese.

321
00:24:46,300 --> 00:24:50,540
I mean it's hard to be worse than that.

322
00:24:50,540 --> 00:24:56,300
I thought that Amr Abat put in a very good shift, I really like Amr Abat as a player,

323
00:24:56,300 --> 00:25:01,380
and I even think, if Milan are looking for a Vais Kessy, because again Renato Sanchez,

324
00:25:01,380 --> 00:25:05,020
everyone talks about Renato Sanchez, he's not a Vais Kessy, you know what I mean, Amr

325
00:25:05,020 --> 00:25:07,220
Abat would be a decent Vais Kessy.

326
00:25:07,220 --> 00:25:16,100
I would never start Amr Abat, I don't think Amr Abat would start for Milan, but having

327
00:25:16,100 --> 00:25:19,620
him on the bench is a good option off the bench, someone to bring up when you need someone

328
00:25:19,620 --> 00:25:26,300
to stop play and crush a couple of guys, but I don't think it would be a long term solution

329
00:25:26,300 --> 00:25:28,820
to Milan's defensive midfield problem.

330
00:25:28,820 --> 00:25:34,660
Perhaps not, he would be a good player, like a rotational player to kind of challenge for

331
00:25:34,660 --> 00:25:40,260
a starting spot, he's 25 years old so he could actually continue to develop.

332
00:25:40,260 --> 00:25:48,540
I thought Saponaro of course was pretty good as always, and of course I thought that Igor

333
00:25:48,540 --> 00:25:49,540
was pretty good.

334
00:25:49,540 --> 00:25:53,980
Yeah, Igor has been fucking solid for FIERETTINE as well, it's a surprise.

335
00:25:53,980 --> 00:25:59,180
It is, everyone, all these Fanta culture players, everyone took Milenkovic, everyone took Quarta,

336
00:25:59,180 --> 00:26:01,500
but the guy was Igor the entire time.

337
00:26:01,500 --> 00:26:07,260
He's been great, he's been involved in some attacks as well, he's been solid defensively,

338
00:26:07,260 --> 00:26:12,060
he's got a good pair of legs on him as well for backtracking, not that he needed to backtrack

339
00:26:12,060 --> 00:26:17,900
much with Giroud, but he definitely marked Giroud well, he marked Giroud well enough,

340
00:26:17,900 --> 00:26:22,700
and Giroud had a decent game when it comes to knocking the ball down here and there as

341
00:26:22,700 --> 00:26:25,580
well, so it's no easy task.

342
00:26:25,580 --> 00:26:29,100
Before we move on, I want to highlight one more Milan player.

343
00:26:29,100 --> 00:26:31,100
Is it Zinedine Kronic?

344
00:26:31,100 --> 00:26:32,580
Yes, Zinedine Kronic.

345
00:26:32,580 --> 00:26:33,580
I love Kronic.

346
00:26:33,580 --> 00:26:37,780
I'm gonna go to the game holding up a sign asking Kronic for his shirt, man.

347
00:26:37,780 --> 00:26:42,140
I adore the man, I adore the man, he's a fucking warrior.

348
00:26:42,140 --> 00:26:48,220
He comes on and you see after 20 seconds he's full of fucking mud, you know what I mean?

349
00:26:48,220 --> 00:26:52,260
He's a hustler, man, and I adore that, and he's technically gifted as fuck as well, so

350
00:26:52,260 --> 00:26:56,740
shout out to Zinedine Kronic if he's listening.

351
00:26:56,740 --> 00:27:07,340
Honestly, there aren't many players on this team that look like, how am I gonna word this?

352
00:27:07,340 --> 00:27:15,340
I think this means a lot to Kronic, man, and you can see it, he gets so emotional when

353
00:27:15,340 --> 00:27:19,940
Milan take the lead, so visibly emotional, way more than many other players.

354
00:27:19,940 --> 00:27:20,940
It's true, man, it's true.

355
00:27:20,940 --> 00:27:26,020
And it means a lot to him, it means a lot to him, and you can tell by the way he plays,

356
00:27:26,020 --> 00:27:28,940
he's hungry, he wants to give everything, he wants to win.

357
00:27:28,940 --> 00:27:33,860
He's probably a sore loser, and that's probably what it is, man, the winning mentality.

358
00:27:33,860 --> 00:27:36,860
I'm not sure if it's because he's a Milanista or whatever, that's what everyone's saying,

359
00:27:36,860 --> 00:27:38,940
but I'm sure that's a little bit romantic.

360
00:27:38,940 --> 00:27:44,580
But yes, big fan of the guy, leaves his fucking heart on the pitch, blood, sweat, tears, everything,

361
00:27:44,580 --> 00:27:45,580
man.

362
00:27:45,580 --> 00:27:48,740
Great, great player, great example, great professional.

363
00:27:48,740 --> 00:27:51,860
As a squad player, I do hope that he stays for a long time.

364
00:27:51,860 --> 00:27:52,860
100%.

365
00:27:52,860 --> 00:27:56,780
You want a defensive midfielder, you want an attacking midfielder, you want a box to

366
00:27:56,780 --> 00:28:00,300
box, you want a winger, Kronic's your boy.

367
00:28:00,300 --> 00:28:03,300
You want a dead ball specialist, Kronic's your boy.

368
00:28:03,300 --> 00:28:07,380
He's just an all-rounder, man, and really, really happy to have him at Milan, and hope

369
00:28:07,380 --> 00:28:09,220
he'll be there for a while.

370
00:28:09,220 --> 00:28:14,860
Milan first, 77 points, two points ahead of Inter with three to go, Fiorentina down in

371
00:28:14,860 --> 00:28:15,860
seventh.

372
00:28:15,860 --> 00:28:18,940
On 56 points, they're three, behind Roma in fifth.

373
00:28:18,940 --> 00:28:25,580
The next game we're going to be covering is Udinese 1-2, the reverse fixture ended 2-0

374
00:28:25,580 --> 00:28:28,260
to Inter who were at home over there.

375
00:28:28,260 --> 00:28:33,780
Udinese were coming off a 4-0 away victory in Florence, as we brushed up on earlier,

376
00:28:33,780 --> 00:28:38,700
while Inter were coming off a 2-1 away loss to Bologna, the one that shocked the world,

377
00:28:38,700 --> 00:28:42,260
the one that got Milan fans believing.

378
00:28:42,260 --> 00:28:48,260
Fun fact about this head-to-head is that Udinese actually haven't beaten Inter in nine matches,

379
00:28:48,260 --> 00:28:52,460
seven losses and two draws over there.

380
00:28:52,460 --> 00:28:56,660
The game kicked off, of course, 12 minutes in Paris, which scores a header at the near

381
00:28:56,660 --> 00:28:58,620
post after a DiMarco corner.

382
00:28:58,620 --> 00:29:04,020
It was a routine that Inter have utilized time and time again, be it Kshalanoglu taking

383
00:29:04,020 --> 00:29:07,660
the corner, be it DiMarco, it could be anyone.

384
00:29:07,660 --> 00:29:11,140
They have that routine, they have that drill nailed.

385
00:29:11,140 --> 00:29:15,100
In the 38th minute, a penalty was awarded after a var check.

386
00:29:15,100 --> 00:29:19,740
There was a soft call on Zekko who made a meal out of the slightest contact from Mari

387
00:29:19,740 --> 00:29:20,980
inside the box.

388
00:29:20,980 --> 00:29:25,380
Of course, slowed down, looking at the images over there, it does look like a penalty and

389
00:29:25,380 --> 00:29:28,340
according to the rules that is a penalty.

390
00:29:28,340 --> 00:29:34,420
Of course, I find it funny how these guys, these tough guys, athletes, top athletes hit

391
00:29:34,420 --> 00:29:35,420
the ground.

392
00:29:35,420 --> 00:29:41,060
A professional move by Zekko, of course, if that were my striker winning that for me,

393
00:29:41,060 --> 00:29:42,060
I'd be over the moon.

394
00:29:42,060 --> 00:29:43,060
Good work by him.

395
00:29:43,060 --> 00:29:47,420
That's it, but yeah, it is one of those cases where you slow it down.

396
00:29:47,420 --> 00:29:48,420
You know what I mean?

397
00:29:48,420 --> 00:29:53,340
There was contact, obviously there normally is contact, but is the contact significant?

398
00:29:53,340 --> 00:29:54,580
Was he coming in with force?

399
00:29:54,580 --> 00:29:55,580
And I don't think he was.

400
00:29:55,580 --> 00:30:00,060
In reality, he could have easily stayed on his feet and everyone knows that.

401
00:30:00,060 --> 00:30:03,940
In the 39th minute, of course, due to the penalty that was awarded, Lautaro stepped

402
00:30:03,940 --> 00:30:04,940
up to hit it.

403
00:30:04,940 --> 00:30:11,780
It was saved by Silvestri, but it fell back to Lautaro who scored the rebound with his

404
00:30:11,780 --> 00:30:16,420
head and ran off in celebration even though he had been having a bit of a stinker and

405
00:30:16,420 --> 00:30:19,100
actually missed the penalty in the first place.

406
00:30:19,100 --> 00:30:23,540
There was a bit of confusion because it was thought that the ball struck the post and

407
00:30:23,540 --> 00:30:27,780
according to the rules, if you take a penalty, it hits the post, you can't score the rebound.

408
00:30:27,780 --> 00:30:29,580
Exactly, it can only take one touch.

409
00:30:29,580 --> 00:30:31,820
Exactly, because that would be two touches.

410
00:30:31,820 --> 00:30:38,060
But on its way back, I believe, to Lautaro, it hit the arm of Silvestri and then Lautaro

411
00:30:38,060 --> 00:30:42,060
headed it in, so no issue whatsoever.

412
00:30:42,060 --> 00:30:43,900
Yeah, no issue whatsoever.

413
00:30:43,900 --> 00:30:50,620
In the 72nd minute, Pusetto scored after a venomous Deo Lefebvre free kick was saved

414
00:30:50,620 --> 00:30:56,180
well by Handanovic only to fall into the path of Destiny Udodji who squared it to Pusetto

415
00:30:56,180 --> 00:31:00,180
who made no mistake to slot it home.

416
00:31:00,180 --> 00:31:02,380
That would prove to only be a consolation goal.

417
00:31:02,380 --> 00:31:07,060
In the 80th minute, there was a Varchek for Inter, but it cancelled out a goal that had

418
00:31:07,060 --> 00:31:12,140
been scored by Sanchez, I believe it was, who was in an offside position.

419
00:31:12,140 --> 00:31:14,040
So bro, thoughts on the game?

420
00:31:14,040 --> 00:31:20,540
So I thought Inter did well enough to beat Anudinese's side that have been inspired.

421
00:31:20,540 --> 00:31:26,540
They went two goals ahead pretty early on in the 39th minute.

422
00:31:26,540 --> 00:31:30,260
They were already two goals up.

423
00:31:30,260 --> 00:31:36,780
And that shows basically the importance of a team like Inter, a team like Napoli as well,

424
00:31:36,780 --> 00:31:41,620
nailing their dead ball situations because at the end of the day, they managed to get

425
00:31:41,620 --> 00:31:45,460
a goal from a corner and from the rebound of a penalty.

426
00:31:45,460 --> 00:31:49,780
This has to be something that was taught to them by Conte, no?

427
00:31:49,780 --> 00:31:50,780
Probably.

428
00:31:50,780 --> 00:31:53,940
Because they really improved their set pieces when Conte was at the helm and I feel like

429
00:31:53,940 --> 00:31:55,980
that's something they kept on.

430
00:31:55,980 --> 00:32:00,620
Bringing in Shalanoglu of course did actually help them improve overall this season, but

431
00:32:00,620 --> 00:32:05,900
as we saw this game, it can be anyone taking the set pieces and they'll succeed.

432
00:32:05,900 --> 00:32:10,540
I'm sorry, I was vomiting in my own mouth.

433
00:32:10,540 --> 00:32:15,620
Inter, bro, need to face Empoli at home now.

434
00:32:15,620 --> 00:32:18,840
Then the Coppa Italia final against Juve midweek.

435
00:32:18,840 --> 00:32:23,740
Four days after that they have Calieri away and then they face Sampdoria at the Meazza

436
00:32:23,740 --> 00:32:27,660
for the final match of the season.

437
00:32:27,660 --> 00:32:33,740
That's a more significant, that's a way easier run than Milan's, right?

438
00:32:33,740 --> 00:32:35,540
On paper in theory.

439
00:32:35,540 --> 00:32:37,980
Is it safe to say that or is it controversial?

440
00:32:37,980 --> 00:32:44,380
No, it doesn't take a genius to make that claim, no offence.

441
00:32:44,380 --> 00:32:51,900
But it is definitely an easier run and so they have Empoli who have been struggling

442
00:32:51,900 --> 00:32:57,860
like alright they got that win over and now Empoli but that was more, you know, meret.

443
00:32:57,860 --> 00:33:03,980
Aside from that, after Empoli they're facing Calieri who are battling relegation but normally

444
00:33:03,980 --> 00:33:08,900
a team that's battling relegation you'd be scared to play them because they're inspired

445
00:33:08,900 --> 00:33:13,180
and they want to get those victories, they need to get those victories but Calieri actually

446
00:33:13,180 --> 00:33:16,180
look shit, like they look really bad.

447
00:33:16,180 --> 00:33:21,300
And then their last game against Sampdoria, if Sampdoria mathematically stay up by the

448
00:33:21,300 --> 00:33:24,740
time the last game comes about then it's an easy win for Inter.

449
00:33:24,740 --> 00:33:30,500
The only thing that gives me as a Milan fan a slight element of hope is their midweek

450
00:33:30,500 --> 00:33:33,980
final against Juve because they are simply going to want to win that and they're going

451
00:33:33,980 --> 00:33:37,020
to go out all guns blazing to win that.

452
00:33:37,020 --> 00:33:42,340
Probably and there will have to be some rotation considering that that game is 4 days after

453
00:33:42,340 --> 00:33:45,780
the Calieri away game.

454
00:33:45,780 --> 00:33:51,500
Bro would you rather play against a team that has nothing to play for and can play without

455
00:33:51,500 --> 00:33:56,060
pressure or would you rather play against a team that has a lot of pressure piling up

456
00:33:56,060 --> 00:34:00,020
on it and is facing relegation potentially?

457
00:34:00,020 --> 00:34:05,340
It's controversial but I would say I'd play against a team with no pressure.

458
00:34:05,340 --> 00:34:12,700
A team with pressure is simply going to be more hungry and I know with nerves come with

459
00:34:12,700 --> 00:34:18,620
the hunger as well but it's part and parcel, I guess you need to weigh out the pros and

460
00:34:18,620 --> 00:34:19,620
cons.

461
00:34:19,620 --> 00:34:24,380
If an uninspired team is playing then there's less of a chance that they're going to be

462
00:34:24,380 --> 00:34:29,380
dangerous and you know they might be a bit sloppy as well because we're playing football

463
00:34:29,380 --> 00:34:31,100
and we have nothing to play for.

464
00:34:31,100 --> 00:34:34,580
I just look at Udinese who have nothing to play for and have just been killing it and

465
00:34:34,580 --> 00:34:36,580
I'm like wow I do not want to play against these guys.

466
00:34:36,580 --> 00:34:40,420
Then you look at the polar opposite in Empoli who have nothing to play for and they've just

467
00:34:40,420 --> 00:34:41,420
been losing.

468
00:34:41,420 --> 00:34:44,300
And then on the other end there's Venezia who are playing with a lot of pressure and

469
00:34:44,300 --> 00:34:45,300
crumbling.

470
00:34:45,300 --> 00:34:47,620
Then you have Salah and Etanah who are playing with a lot of pressure and killing it so it

471
00:34:47,620 --> 00:34:54,020
very much depends on the group of people, on the manager, everything.

472
00:34:54,020 --> 00:35:01,180
Speaking of the manager when it comes to Udinese, it's going to be interesting to see what happens

473
00:35:01,180 --> 00:35:02,180
with him.

474
00:35:02,180 --> 00:35:08,260
Obviously, Cioffi is their interim manager and he stepped in midway through the season.

475
00:35:08,260 --> 00:35:11,560
What happens next season because they've looked fucking good now.

476
00:35:11,560 --> 00:35:15,780
They have looked good but they have to also understand that next season they're not going

477
00:35:15,780 --> 00:35:21,020
to be safe from the get go so there's going to be a bit of pressure, there are going to

478
00:35:21,020 --> 00:35:24,480
be expectations.

479
00:35:24,480 --> 00:35:26,420
It depends on what their ambitions are.

480
00:35:26,420 --> 00:35:30,740
If their ambitions are to survive and be a mid-table team, Cioffi has proven that he

481
00:35:30,740 --> 00:35:31,740
can do that.

482
00:35:31,740 --> 00:35:35,380
He's a young manager, maybe they do want to take a point to them, maybe he's earned it.

483
00:35:35,380 --> 00:35:40,440
This has been a pretty solid Udinese side, probably one of the better ones I remember

484
00:35:40,440 --> 00:35:41,820
in recent history.

485
00:35:41,820 --> 00:35:45,100
Of course the best one I remember was back when Milan won the league and Udinese finished

486
00:35:45,100 --> 00:35:46,100
third I think.

487
00:35:46,100 --> 00:35:48,540
That was a very good side.

488
00:35:48,540 --> 00:35:55,220
But yes, I think that Cioffi has earned a new contract personally.

489
00:35:55,220 --> 00:35:56,980
I agree with you.

490
00:35:56,980 --> 00:36:02,660
So unless a fantastic opportunity comes by that can't be passed, I would stay with Cioffi

491
00:36:02,660 --> 00:36:03,660
personally.

492
00:36:03,660 --> 00:36:04,660
I would agree.

493
00:36:04,660 --> 00:36:09,980
Now if I rub my crystal ball a little bit higher to see what's going to happen, they'll

494
00:36:09,980 --> 00:36:11,940
keep Cioffi.

495
00:36:11,940 --> 00:36:15,260
Probably the first half of the season will be a slightly different story and they'll

496
00:36:15,260 --> 00:36:18,380
get the sack halfway through and they'll bring in someone else.

497
00:36:18,380 --> 00:36:20,580
I wouldn't be surprised if that'll be the case at all.

498
00:36:20,580 --> 00:36:25,780
But the man has earned another season and I would offer him a two year contract if I

499
00:36:25,780 --> 00:36:27,400
was in charge of Udinese.

500
00:36:27,400 --> 00:36:30,820
Or move him to Watford, they don't care.

501
00:36:30,820 --> 00:36:34,580
Maybe, we'll see what happens there.

502
00:36:34,580 --> 00:36:42,780
Inter-Bro are second with 75 points, two points of first, while Udinese are 12th with 43 points.

503
00:36:42,780 --> 00:36:47,740
The next game is definitely the most surprising outcome we've had in the entire week.

504
00:36:47,740 --> 00:36:52,780
I said this game would end in a 2-2 draw, but same as me, I said 2-2 draw as well, but

505
00:36:52,780 --> 00:36:59,540
it was Napoli 6, Sassuolo 1, which was just a mental encounter.

506
00:36:59,540 --> 00:37:04,580
So the reverse fixture was a 2-2 draw with Sassuolo at home in Modena.

507
00:37:04,580 --> 00:37:11,500
Napoli were coming off a 3-2 away loss against Empoli, which clearly pissed them off.

508
00:37:11,500 --> 00:37:17,420
While Sassuolo are now on a 3 match losing streak after a 1-0 away loss to Caliari, a

509
00:37:17,420 --> 00:37:22,180
2-1 home loss to Juve and now a 6-1 away loss to Napoli.

510
00:37:22,180 --> 00:37:27,620
Coming into this match, Napoli had been winless in their last three against Sassuolo.

511
00:37:27,620 --> 00:37:32,520
So in the second minute, Ozymen hit the post after Kirikes had a terrible back pass which

512
00:37:32,520 --> 00:37:35,040
put Ozymen clean through on goal.

513
00:37:35,040 --> 00:37:38,380
He rounded the keeper, but could only hit the post.

514
00:37:38,380 --> 00:37:45,060
Speaking of, Jake randomly got an Ozymen kit because his mother-in-law was in Naples, just

515
00:37:45,060 --> 00:37:47,540
asked him what he wanted and he said an Ozymen kit.

516
00:37:47,540 --> 00:37:48,540
She got him an Ozymen kit.

517
00:37:48,540 --> 00:37:51,020
She told me what do you want and to take the piss.

518
00:37:51,020 --> 00:37:55,980
Now saying this was the equivalent of saying a Ferrari, because I told her literally, I

519
00:37:55,980 --> 00:37:58,700
worded it an original Victor Ozymen kit.

520
00:37:58,700 --> 00:38:02,860
It was obviously a joke, like it's like 100 euros, I don't expect her to get me that,

521
00:38:02,860 --> 00:38:03,860
but she did, surprisingly.

522
00:38:03,860 --> 00:38:08,500
So now I am the owner of a Victor Ozymen kit and quite frankly I'm not sure what to do

523
00:38:08,500 --> 00:38:09,500
with it, but anyway.

524
00:38:09,500 --> 00:38:13,260
I am the owner of perfume.

525
00:38:13,260 --> 00:38:17,300
So consider yourself lucky.

526
00:38:17,300 --> 00:38:21,500
In the seventh minute, shortly after, Koulibaly scored a header.

527
00:38:21,500 --> 00:38:27,140
After Insinia gave an outswinging cross from a corner, Koulibaly jumped in and headed into

528
00:38:27,140 --> 00:38:28,140
the bottom corner.

529
00:38:28,140 --> 00:38:30,740
In the fifteenth minute, Ozymen scored a header.

530
00:38:30,740 --> 00:38:33,460
It was another Insinia corner, this time it was in-swinging.

531
00:38:33,460 --> 00:38:36,940
It fell perfectly to Ozymen who headed it in off the crossbar.

532
00:38:36,940 --> 00:38:41,300
Kirikes was marking him, just wanted to make a note over there.

533
00:38:41,300 --> 00:38:44,460
As we can already see, the set-piece routines working wonders.

534
00:38:44,460 --> 00:38:47,820
It's 15 minutes and they're 3-0 up, literally because of corners.

535
00:38:47,820 --> 00:38:50,100
Literally, and Kirikes.

536
00:38:50,100 --> 00:38:55,940
In the nineteenth minute, Lopez made an uncharacteristical error and he lost the ball due to Mertens

537
00:38:55,940 --> 00:38:56,940
high press.

538
00:38:56,940 --> 00:39:01,260
Mertens found Ozymen, whose ball across the face of goal was finished into an empty net

539
00:39:01,260 --> 00:39:04,740
by the Mexican Chucky Lozano.

540
00:39:04,740 --> 00:39:09,260
Two minutes later, in the twenty-first minute, this is fucking chaos bro, at this point they're

541
00:39:09,260 --> 00:39:14,780
already 3-0 up and now two minutes later, Mertens twisted and turned in the area after

542
00:39:14,780 --> 00:39:19,180
some nice play by Napoli and went on to cut in and finished into the near post from an

543
00:39:19,180 --> 00:39:20,180
acute angle.

544
00:39:20,180 --> 00:39:27,820
He caught everyone off guard with that finish and after 21 minutes, Napoli were 4-0 up.

545
00:39:27,820 --> 00:39:29,220
What was Sasuolo's response?

546
00:39:29,220 --> 00:39:33,540
They sub out to Juričić for Henrique in the twenty-fifth.

547
00:39:33,540 --> 00:39:38,620
In the fifty-fourth, after the break, Mertens plays Fabian Thrun, who was at the byline.

548
00:39:38,620 --> 00:39:43,580
Fabian played it back with his first touch as Mertens curled it in past Consiglie and

549
00:39:43,580 --> 00:39:47,900
he beat Consiglie and Ferrari who was rooted to the line.

550
00:39:47,900 --> 00:39:52,740
In the eightieth minute, even Rahmani managed to get a goal, he slotted it home into an

551
00:39:52,740 --> 00:39:56,340
empty net after some ping-pong passing by Napoli.

552
00:39:56,340 --> 00:39:59,580
Di Lorenzo laughed as he realized who the scorer was.

553
00:39:59,580 --> 00:40:02,300
Di Lorenzo was like, everyone's getting a goal.

554
00:40:02,300 --> 00:40:03,380
Except for him.

555
00:40:03,380 --> 00:40:13,540
In the eighty-seventh minute, Maxime Lopez got a consolation, Sasuolo overcomplicated

556
00:40:13,540 --> 00:40:18,780
a rather simple situation, but Lopez did well to hold the ball patiently as Ospina flopped

557
00:40:18,780 --> 00:40:24,500
around and eventually after three passes, Lopez got the consolation.

558
00:40:24,500 --> 00:40:31,740
So I'm gonna ask you what you thought about this game now, bro.

559
00:40:31,740 --> 00:40:38,340
Quite frankly, shambolic by Sasuolo, an absolutely subpar performance.

560
00:40:38,340 --> 00:40:42,540
I've never seen them that bad.

561
00:40:42,540 --> 00:40:45,780
Never since coming up from Behr.

562
00:40:45,780 --> 00:40:49,620
They looked like they were indifferent to what was happening as well.

563
00:40:49,620 --> 00:40:56,500
Just one yellow card during the first four goals that went in, show some grit.

564
00:40:56,500 --> 00:41:00,740
And it was of course Maxime Lopez, the guy who probably deserves to be elsewhere.

565
00:41:00,740 --> 00:41:04,660
Now look what they're saying about Scamacca, about Berardi.

566
00:41:04,660 --> 00:41:09,900
Of course, Berardi is an exception, but you know, Raspadori, Scamacca and Frattesi, for

567
00:41:09,900 --> 00:41:13,380
example, everyone reads them so highly and they're so sought after.

568
00:41:13,380 --> 00:41:17,900
When in reality, the guys that actually do show a lot of professionalism in my opinion

569
00:41:17,900 --> 00:41:21,540
are Maxime Lopez and Berardi.

570
00:41:21,540 --> 00:41:23,060
Those two are definitely the most professional.

571
00:41:23,060 --> 00:41:25,540
They've got some experience as well.

572
00:41:25,540 --> 00:41:27,380
And they get pissed off losing, man.

573
00:41:27,380 --> 00:41:29,900
And that's not something that can be said about all these players.

574
00:41:29,900 --> 00:41:35,700
Of course, these are the elites, these are the guys, like I said, that bring experience

575
00:41:35,700 --> 00:41:36,700
to the squad.

576
00:41:36,700 --> 00:41:40,660
I mean, the other guys that you're mentioning, sure, they're fantastic players, but they're

577
00:41:40,660 --> 00:41:42,940
young hotheads at the end of the day.

578
00:41:42,940 --> 00:41:44,660
You know what I mean?

579
00:41:44,660 --> 00:41:48,580
Dionisi obviously wasn't too happy with this performance.

580
00:41:48,580 --> 00:41:52,460
This is quite a long quote, but basically said after such a result, it is not easy to

581
00:41:52,460 --> 00:41:53,460
talk.

582
00:41:53,460 --> 00:41:56,540
Today, it is hard to find something that went the right way.

583
00:41:56,540 --> 00:42:01,940
I am responsible, we did not enter the field well, two goals from a corner kick and a few

584
00:42:01,940 --> 00:42:04,360
minutes after the 3-0 goal.

585
00:42:04,360 --> 00:42:09,740
It would be easy to find the guilty at this moment, but if the team did not do what they

586
00:42:09,740 --> 00:42:12,520
should, the fault is of those who train it.

587
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:15,660
So here he's clearly blaming himself.

588
00:42:15,660 --> 00:42:19,020
Against Juve, we spent a lot and received compliments.

589
00:42:19,020 --> 00:42:25,100
Napoli came from the bad defeat against Empoli and today had a thousand reasons to perform.

590
00:42:25,100 --> 00:42:30,300
We need to improve on dead balls, we need to be more physical and start dueling.

591
00:42:30,300 --> 00:42:35,740
The boys are demoralized, but maybe we can have new motivations to face these last league

592
00:42:35,740 --> 00:42:36,740
matches.

593
00:42:36,740 --> 00:42:41,540
So he's even saying that because of this performance, the next three matches are gonna be shit.

594
00:42:41,540 --> 00:42:45,080
That's what we say when you have nothing to play for, sometimes you have this like weird

595
00:42:45,080 --> 00:42:50,140
existential crisis where you start wondering what's the point, why dude?

596
00:42:50,140 --> 00:42:54,900
He's saying himself, hopefully we can find new motivation for the last three games of

597
00:42:54,900 --> 00:42:55,900
the season.

598
00:42:55,900 --> 00:42:57,020
What the fuck?

599
00:42:57,020 --> 00:43:00,100
It's embarrassing that he even has to say that.

600
00:43:00,100 --> 00:43:02,980
Your paycheck should be enough.

601
00:43:02,980 --> 00:43:08,980
But we've addressed the Soswalo players before, we have addressed their professionalism to

602
00:43:08,980 --> 00:43:11,220
a certain extent.

603
00:43:11,220 --> 00:43:15,900
They perform well when there is something to perform well for, but this certainly wasn't

604
00:43:15,900 --> 00:43:16,900
the case.

605
00:43:16,900 --> 00:43:21,740
It seemed like, you know how Napoli are, when Napoli start firing at you and they're so

606
00:43:21,740 --> 00:43:28,020
dominant and so attacking and they're suffocating, that teams find it very hard to adapt, especially

607
00:43:28,020 --> 00:43:31,860
when they concede two from the get-go and in the first couple of minutes your center

608
00:43:31,860 --> 00:43:33,940
back's putting Victor Ozymenki in the wall.

609
00:43:33,940 --> 00:43:36,260
Clean through on goal, just playing him through.

610
00:43:36,260 --> 00:43:37,260
Exactly.

611
00:43:37,260 --> 00:43:42,900
So it was a terrible night for Soswalo, but a great night for Napoli who managed to prove

612
00:43:42,900 --> 00:43:49,340
a point all too late, but they did manage to prove a point.

613
00:43:49,340 --> 00:43:51,820
They need a disaster to win the league.

614
00:43:51,820 --> 00:43:54,060
They would need Inter and Milan to lose pretty much the game.

615
00:43:54,060 --> 00:43:57,820
They need two tragedies to win the league.

616
00:43:57,820 --> 00:44:02,660
Can I just say as well, by the way bro, it's not easy for Dionisi to go in front of the

617
00:44:02,660 --> 00:44:07,460
fucking press after a 6-1 loss and take full responsibility for it.

618
00:44:07,460 --> 00:44:10,380
At that point I'm sure that it wasn't entirely his fault.

619
00:44:10,380 --> 00:44:13,620
I'm sure there were individual errors, we saw them, there were individual errors and

620
00:44:13,620 --> 00:44:18,700
marking in the corner and all that, but he kept his cool, he put his pride aside, he

621
00:44:18,700 --> 00:44:21,740
took the blame, that's a very mature thing to do.

622
00:44:21,740 --> 00:44:24,220
From a young manager that's very good.

623
00:44:24,220 --> 00:44:29,260
He probably gave them a very hard time in the dressing room, I'm sure everyone heard

624
00:44:29,260 --> 00:44:35,980
him screaming, but obviously in front of the pundits and in front of the journalists he

625
00:44:35,980 --> 00:44:38,540
put a good front on, took full blame.

626
00:44:38,540 --> 00:44:41,380
It's your turn to vomit in your mouth man.

627
00:44:41,380 --> 00:44:45,460
This wine is dope.

628
00:44:45,460 --> 00:44:50,340
And hopefully that will motivate his players, as he's saying his players are demoralised,

629
00:44:50,340 --> 00:44:54,980
but him taking full responsibility at least shows that there is a sense of unity between

630
00:44:54,980 --> 00:44:57,060
the club and the manager.

631
00:44:57,060 --> 00:45:03,060
Yes sir, do you think Napoli will be able to hold on to Viktor Ozyman, a very modern

632
00:45:03,060 --> 00:45:11,700
striker, a very young, explosive striker, can do everything on his own pretty much?

633
00:45:11,700 --> 00:45:16,620
Napoli heavily sought after from the Premier League, Milan are rumoured to be interested

634
00:45:16,620 --> 00:45:20,220
in him, this Invest Corp thing goes through, of course Pinch of Salt.

635
00:45:20,220 --> 00:45:23,940
I'll take him man, Jesus Christ.

636
00:45:23,940 --> 00:45:29,540
I think he still has something to prove at Napoli, I think he's been great this season,

637
00:45:29,540 --> 00:45:36,140
but obviously he broke his face, so he was out for a while, last season he was out as

638
00:45:36,140 --> 00:45:41,540
well because he was a naughty naughty boy, so I think he owes Napoli a full season.

639
00:45:41,540 --> 00:45:45,940
I think he does, that's a very good point, he's had two seasons that were interrupted,

640
00:45:45,940 --> 00:45:50,740
we haven't seen what Viktor Ozyman can do in a full season uninterrupted, uninjured,

641
00:45:50,740 --> 00:45:51,740
you know, controversial.

642
00:45:51,740 --> 00:45:57,900
It's not like he's injured a bro, there have been weird occurrences.

643
00:45:57,900 --> 00:46:03,780
Dislocated shoulder, that's complicated due to a lack of treatment or mistreatment rather,

644
00:46:03,780 --> 00:46:08,220
head to head with Scrinio, Covid, these weird things.

645
00:46:08,220 --> 00:46:14,140
Obviously he was injured for it, but I think he owes the club a full season, I think he

646
00:46:14,140 --> 00:46:20,580
should be in those top 3 top scorers with Napoli next season, if he has a good season

647
00:46:20,580 --> 00:46:26,020
obviously and then yeah, he should go to Milan in my opinion after that, what do you think?

648
00:46:26,020 --> 00:46:28,940
That would be fantastic, I have to admit, right?

649
00:46:28,940 --> 00:46:32,220
If Napoli do want to cash in on someone to make some bank, you know what I mean?

650
00:46:32,220 --> 00:46:34,060
I think Fabian Ruiz is the guy.

651
00:46:34,060 --> 00:46:35,060
Fabian Ruiz is the guy?

652
00:46:35,060 --> 00:46:38,900
I'm not sure how much he would go for Fabian Ruiz.

653
00:46:38,900 --> 00:46:42,260
I think Fabian could easily go for 30 million.

654
00:46:42,260 --> 00:46:48,220
Yeah I think 30 million, I think somewhere around that region and he's off, but he'll

655
00:46:48,220 --> 00:46:53,860
probably play out his contract, that's what these players are doing nowadays.

656
00:46:53,860 --> 00:46:56,740
God bless you and God bless America.

657
00:46:56,740 --> 00:47:00,940
You're that African-American baseball player.

658
00:47:00,940 --> 00:47:02,700
I'm not sure I get the quotation.

659
00:47:02,700 --> 00:47:03,700
No.

660
00:47:03,700 --> 00:47:04,700
Is it Money Boy?

661
00:47:04,700 --> 00:47:11,980
When Biden met the Pope and he literally told him to his face, he's like you're that African-American

662
00:47:11,980 --> 00:47:12,980
baseball player.

663
00:47:12,980 --> 00:47:13,980
You are taking the place.

664
00:47:13,980 --> 00:47:19,380
I swear he said fucking worse dog.

665
00:47:19,380 --> 00:47:22,500
I got hairy legs.

666
00:47:22,500 --> 00:47:27,180
They turn blonde in the summer and kids like jumping on my legs.

667
00:47:27,180 --> 00:47:31,540
But yes, that is Joe Biden.

668
00:47:31,540 --> 00:47:36,540
So a fun fact for you guys before we move on to the next couple of games is that we

669
00:47:36,540 --> 00:47:41,660
were watching Real Madrid against City today and Real obviously had a tremendous comeback

670
00:47:41,660 --> 00:47:44,020
and they're through to the Champions League final.

671
00:47:44,020 --> 00:47:50,020
But in the intro of the game, basically it was mentioned that Maradona's Hand of God

672
00:47:50,020 --> 00:47:56,500
shirt has been auctioned off for 7.1 million euros bro.

673
00:47:56,500 --> 00:47:57,500
Crazy.

674
00:47:57,500 --> 00:47:59,980
That's fucking crazy though man.

675
00:47:59,980 --> 00:48:00,980
It's mental.

676
00:48:00,980 --> 00:48:03,820
Of course the original that had been worn.

677
00:48:03,820 --> 00:48:06,300
But yes, that's a ridiculous amount of money.

678
00:48:06,300 --> 00:48:07,300
My god I've spent what?

679
00:48:07,300 --> 00:48:08,300
80 euro on a kit?

680
00:48:08,300 --> 00:48:12,060
It's probably the most I've spent.

681
00:48:12,060 --> 00:48:19,100
Safe to say that the guy who bought it most probably is not an Englishman.

682
00:48:19,100 --> 00:48:23,140
So anyways Napoli in third place on 70 points.

683
00:48:23,140 --> 00:48:26,660
They're 7 points under Milan and just one above Juve now.

684
00:48:26,660 --> 00:48:31,300
Lasvalo on the other hand are in 11th on 46 points.

685
00:48:31,300 --> 00:48:35,220
Next up we've got Juve 2, Venezia 1.

686
00:48:35,220 --> 00:48:42,340
The reverse fixture of course ended in that infamous Venezia 1 Juve 1 draw.

687
00:48:42,340 --> 00:48:45,860
Zanetti was sacked last week and we forgot to address it.

688
00:48:45,860 --> 00:48:48,460
Well that's fucking shit of us.

689
00:48:48,460 --> 00:48:49,460
It is bro.

690
00:48:49,460 --> 00:48:55,900
They currently have their caretaker manager in charge who goes by the name of Soncin.

691
00:48:55,900 --> 00:49:00,580
He actually played with them a while back and he's also 5-9 bro.

692
00:49:00,580 --> 00:49:05,180
Another reason for you to have hope in this one.

693
00:49:05,180 --> 00:49:10,460
5-9 we're talking average height in Molotov.

694
00:49:10,460 --> 00:49:15,460
Juve were coming off a 2-1 away win to Sassuolo while Venezia extend their losing streak to

695
00:49:15,460 --> 00:49:18,740
9 after the 3-1 home loss to Atalanta.

696
00:49:18,740 --> 00:49:22,020
A 9 match losing streak is fucking horrendous man.

697
00:49:22,020 --> 00:49:24,060
It is it really is.

698
00:49:24,060 --> 00:49:29,860
Juve have won 10 of their last 12 home games against Venezia for our fun fact.

699
00:49:29,860 --> 00:49:34,980
In the play by play of course the 4th minute Pellegrini struck the post after Caldara's

700
00:49:34,980 --> 00:49:39,220
poor clearance fell straight to the young Italian who struck it from a distance into

701
00:49:39,220 --> 00:49:41,860
the frame of the Venezia goal.

702
00:49:41,860 --> 00:49:44,980
In the 7th minute Bonnuntri on his birthday.

703
00:49:44,980 --> 00:49:49,260
Happy birthday birthday boy.

704
00:49:49,260 --> 00:49:55,340
So the youngster Miretti started this game 18 year old Miretti and he was in charge of

705
00:49:55,340 --> 00:49:59,860
set pieces which I found bizarre but he's really good at them.

706
00:49:59,860 --> 00:50:05,180
He delivered a really nice deep free kick at the far post which was headed centrally

707
00:50:05,180 --> 00:50:10,700
to Bonnuntri by delict and Bonnuntri actually managed to head it into the back of the net

708
00:50:10,700 --> 00:50:13,060
goal happy birthday.

709
00:50:13,060 --> 00:50:17,460
In the 35th minute Vakka went out injured and was replaced by Fior Delino who's quite

710
00:50:17,460 --> 00:50:19,300
a tiny little player.

711
00:50:19,300 --> 00:50:24,060
In the 71st minute Aramu got an equalizer after Ampadu played the ball in the air to

712
00:50:24,060 --> 00:50:29,100
Perez who chested the ball down to Aramu who struck the ball on a half volley it was insane

713
00:50:29,100 --> 00:50:32,300
from a distance into the bottom corner.

714
00:50:32,300 --> 00:50:33,300
Insane goal.

715
00:50:33,300 --> 00:50:34,300
Incredible goal.

716
00:50:34,300 --> 00:50:38,620
And in the 76th minute of course it was a birthday double baby.

717
00:50:38,620 --> 00:50:41,140
Happy birthday Bonnuntri boy.

718
00:50:41,140 --> 00:50:45,380
Bonnuntri once again scored once again it was a Miretti set piece it was a corner this

719
00:50:45,380 --> 00:50:52,020
time his corner was chested down by Danilo and to Bonnuntri who slid in and scored.

720
00:50:52,020 --> 00:50:53,020
Happy.

721
00:50:53,020 --> 00:50:54,020
So bro.

722
00:50:54,020 --> 00:50:56,660
You've looked like shit again no?

723
00:50:56,660 --> 00:50:57,660
Quite frankly.

724
00:50:57,660 --> 00:50:58,660
Agreed.

725
00:50:58,660 --> 00:51:03,140
But is this what we should expect from them just results results results?

726
00:51:03,140 --> 00:51:08,460
I mean it's what we expected of them from the beginning of the campaign the difference

727
00:51:08,460 --> 00:51:13,180
is from the beginning of the campaign they weren't getting results results results and

728
00:51:13,180 --> 00:51:15,260
they weren't playing nice football either.

729
00:51:15,260 --> 00:51:20,980
I don't think there has been a period where Juve were playing attractive football and

730
00:51:20,980 --> 00:51:22,380
getting good results.

731
00:51:22,380 --> 00:51:29,740
I think Juve have been managing to scrape through for the second half of the campaign

732
00:51:29,740 --> 00:51:38,060
I would say since they got that double signing of Vlachovic and Zakaria and it hasn't improved

733
00:51:38,060 --> 00:51:42,660
their football from from an entertainment standpoint it's just helped them get more

734
00:51:42,660 --> 00:51:43,660
results.

735
00:51:43,660 --> 00:51:48,380
They're gonna keep looking like shit you know if they keep playing under Allegri they're

736
00:51:48,380 --> 00:51:49,900
gonna keep looking like shit.

737
00:51:49,900 --> 00:51:50,900
Most likely.

738
00:51:50,900 --> 00:51:56,260
Last week we spoke a little bit about Allegri we spoke about how considering you know the

739
00:51:56,260 --> 00:52:00,500
expectations coming into the season considering the salary he's on that they should have probably

740
00:52:00,500 --> 00:52:04,940
been fighting for the league to be honest points wise they're not too far off the recovery

741
00:52:04,940 --> 00:52:10,180
in the second half of the season was pretty good right it was it was miraculous quite

742
00:52:10,180 --> 00:52:11,500
frankly.

743
00:52:11,500 --> 00:52:17,060
And quite frankly wouldn't be surprised if he stays on wouldn't be surprised if he if

744
00:52:17,060 --> 00:52:20,980
he sacked because it depends on what they prioritize right.

745
00:52:20,980 --> 00:52:24,060
It depends on what opportunities come around I think.

746
00:52:24,060 --> 00:52:29,140
They tried to get out of the Allegri era they tried with Sarri and then they tried with

747
00:52:29,140 --> 00:52:34,340
a young progressive manager in Pirlo and then they realized that for the time being they're

748
00:52:34,340 --> 00:52:39,100
gonna need another couple of seasons with Allegri to kind of stabilize the team before

749
00:52:39,100 --> 00:52:41,740
they move on to a different project.

750
00:52:41,740 --> 00:52:45,860
I think Allegri's got another season in him and then after that I think Juve will look

751
00:52:45,860 --> 00:52:52,100
for something a bit more entertaining and a bit more Juve to say the least.

752
00:52:52,100 --> 00:52:53,100
Interesting.

753
00:52:53,100 --> 00:52:55,060
And Vlaović bro.

754
00:52:55,060 --> 00:52:56,460
Uh huh.

755
00:52:56,460 --> 00:52:59,940
What do you think we talk about this often this is another game without the goal for

756
00:52:59,940 --> 00:53:00,940
him.

757
00:53:00,940 --> 00:53:07,740
Uh huh it's not simply because he's not getting into situations where he can score where he

758
00:53:07,740 --> 00:53:09,300
can utilize his abilities.

759
00:53:09,300 --> 00:53:14,300
You see him bro when he's off the ball his movement off the ball is perfect.

760
00:53:14,300 --> 00:53:17,980
He doesn't slot into one run then he gets into another then he gets into another then

761
00:53:17,980 --> 00:53:23,620
he gets into another and it's always a delayed pass it's always a safe option and then it's

762
00:53:23,620 --> 00:53:24,620
scrappy goals.

763
00:53:24,620 --> 00:53:28,620
It's a weird Bonucci-Dopietta you know what I mean.

764
00:53:28,620 --> 00:53:32,340
You're right his movement does look good and probably the fact that he is in the area allows

765
00:53:32,340 --> 00:53:37,140
players like Bonucci to maybe go a little bit more unmarked than they normally would.

766
00:53:37,140 --> 00:53:41,780
You know they call him 007 bro.

767
00:53:41,780 --> 00:53:44,100
Zero goals zero assists seven games.

768
00:53:44,100 --> 00:53:49,900
My god no then that's actually you'd need to expect more from a striker from that standpoint

769
00:53:49,900 --> 00:53:53,580
that's the same point I had made about Tammy.

770
00:53:53,580 --> 00:53:59,660
Halfway through the season as well but just having him there just having a number nine

771
00:53:59,660 --> 00:54:04,380
has made a massive difference for you having someone that can hold the ball up and having

772
00:54:04,380 --> 00:54:08,860
someone can ping the ball too from the back or Bonucci can ping the ball too from the

773
00:54:08,860 --> 00:54:13,300
back that has made a massive difference for them but he's not going to be bagging loads

774
00:54:13,300 --> 00:54:17,740
of goals for you there under Allegri.

775
00:54:17,740 --> 00:54:20,740
Too little too late right for Venezia sacking Zanetti.

776
00:54:20,740 --> 00:54:24,660
Oh yes it should I would say it should have come a while ago.

777
00:54:24,660 --> 00:54:29,340
I think so too right as they started free falling in the second half of the season I

778
00:54:29,340 --> 00:54:33,340
think it would have been wise to maybe move on from him a little bit earlier.

779
00:54:33,340 --> 00:54:36,060
Of course definitely not with three games to go.

780
00:54:36,060 --> 00:54:39,220
No three games to go like what's the point of that.

781
00:54:39,220 --> 00:54:42,940
Just just to prove a point they're saying like all right dude it's your it's your bad

782
00:54:42,940 --> 00:54:44,420
like.

783
00:54:44,420 --> 00:54:48,580
Of course considering how everything started out for you congratulations to them on qualifying

784
00:54:48,580 --> 00:54:52,940
for the Champions League of course they can take this as a victory with all things considered

785
00:54:52,940 --> 00:54:57,020
you know Ronaldo leaving last minute and all that stuff.

786
00:54:57,020 --> 00:55:02,260
Next year I'm sure they'll be looking to improve their situation and we'll see what they do.

787
00:55:02,260 --> 00:55:05,420
In the summer period as well man that's going to be interesting.

788
00:55:05,420 --> 00:55:06,940
It is definitely is.

789
00:55:06,940 --> 00:55:11,260
So Juve are currently fourth mathematically qualified with 69 points one point behind

790
00:55:11,260 --> 00:55:14,020
Napoli they might even sneak into 30.

791
00:55:14,020 --> 00:55:19,580
Venezia are lost with 22 points six points from safety with a game in hand versus Salernitana

792
00:55:19,580 --> 00:55:23,420
so imagine they win that game in hand it'll be three points from safety with three games

793
00:55:23,420 --> 00:55:24,420
to go.

794
00:55:24,420 --> 00:55:26,620
That's tight tight tight.

795
00:55:26,620 --> 00:55:27,620
So yeah baby.

796
00:55:27,620 --> 00:55:33,460
The next game we're going to be covering is a 0-0 draw in Rome between Roma and Bologna.

797
00:55:33,460 --> 00:55:38,700
So the previous encounter was actually a victory for Bologna it was 1-0 at home.

798
00:55:38,700 --> 00:55:43,580
Roma were coming off a 3-1 away loss to Inter and a midweek 1-1 draw to Leicester in the

799
00:55:43,580 --> 00:55:49,340
Conference League semi-final while Bologna are coming off a 2-1 home win against Inter.

800
00:55:49,340 --> 00:55:52,860
Bologna are now unbeaten in six matches.

801
00:55:52,860 --> 00:55:57,500
Roma have gone goalless twice this season against Bologna for the first time since February

802
00:55:57,500 --> 00:55:59,940
of 1977.

803
00:55:59,940 --> 00:56:06,060
Before this Roma had scored in 30 consecutive games against the Amelians.

804
00:56:06,060 --> 00:56:08,820
Very interesting.

805
00:56:08,820 --> 00:56:13,500
So obviously there are no goals to bring to you from this match but there were some spectacular

806
00:56:13,500 --> 00:56:17,020
saves particularly from Bologna's goalkeeper in Skorupski.

807
00:56:17,020 --> 00:56:23,660
He really did a great job in keeping Bologna in this match and it was quite a tight affair.

808
00:56:23,660 --> 00:56:27,500
I would say Bologna once again roasted the occasion and at least they did what they had

809
00:56:27,500 --> 00:56:28,980
to do to get that point.

810
00:56:28,980 --> 00:56:29,980
What were your thoughts?

811
00:56:29,980 --> 00:56:32,220
Yeah they played for the draw to be honest.

812
00:56:32,220 --> 00:56:36,940
In Mourinho's post-match comments he said that the team that wanted to win didn't do

813
00:56:36,940 --> 00:56:40,660
enough of course implying that Roma wanted to win of course to keep their Champions League

814
00:56:40,660 --> 00:56:47,260
hopes alive and the team that didn't want to win did just enough and the referee allowed

815
00:56:47,260 --> 00:56:48,500
them to do so.

816
00:56:48,500 --> 00:56:51,900
Yeah that was part of the rant.

817
00:56:51,900 --> 00:56:53,980
Yeah Mourinho blames everyone.

818
00:56:53,980 --> 00:57:00,020
He blamed his players, he blamed Bologna, he blamed his substitutions, he brought on

819
00:57:00,020 --> 00:57:03,700
four subs, he made a quadruple change, he said that they didn't do enough.

820
00:57:03,700 --> 00:57:09,940
He blamed the Leicester game midweek, he blamed the referees of course saying that they just

821
00:57:09,940 --> 00:57:13,540
allowed Bologna to slow down the tempo over and over again.

822
00:57:13,540 --> 00:57:16,580
So it's just funny seeing how this guy operates.

823
00:57:16,580 --> 00:57:18,220
And he singled out his players.

824
00:57:18,220 --> 00:57:23,700
Firstly went on to say that Leicester made 9 changes in their Premier League game on

825
00:57:23,700 --> 00:57:24,980
the same day.

826
00:57:24,980 --> 00:57:30,260
He said the four players I introduced didn't have the impact I expected, Tamián Zalefsky

827
00:57:30,260 --> 00:57:34,580
didn't play well enough, Karsdorpp and Pellegrini did some things.

828
00:57:34,580 --> 00:57:37,980
They did some things.

829
00:57:37,980 --> 00:57:40,820
In the dressing room man.

830
00:57:40,820 --> 00:57:46,340
I want to highlight bro as well that Skorupsky is really developing into a fucking good goalkeeper

831
00:57:46,340 --> 00:57:47,340
man.

832
00:57:47,340 --> 00:57:50,660
I've always rated him as a good keeper but I always thought he was a little bit clumsy

833
00:57:50,660 --> 00:57:55,300
at times but I think he's really maturing and improving overall and I think he's climbed

834
00:57:55,300 --> 00:58:01,140
into my list of potentially top 5 keepers in the league.

835
00:58:01,140 --> 00:58:02,660
He's been insane.

836
00:58:02,660 --> 00:58:09,740
He was shit in the beginning of the season and Bologna fans wanted him out and then you

837
00:58:09,740 --> 00:58:13,660
remember there was that group of Bologna fans that were defending him saying you're one

838
00:58:13,660 --> 00:58:16,340
of us, you're one of us about Skorupsky.

839
00:58:16,340 --> 00:58:21,100
So he did have a slow start to the campaign but he's been on for a while now.

840
00:58:21,100 --> 00:58:22,940
He's been fucking fantastic.

841
00:58:22,940 --> 00:58:24,860
He's been really really good.

842
00:58:24,860 --> 00:58:30,300
Even when Bologna were struggling he was there and consistently there and I don't think

843
00:58:30,300 --> 00:58:35,020
they'll be replacing him anytime soon unless he gets a big offer from a bigger team man.

844
00:58:35,020 --> 00:58:37,900
Yeah man definitely.

845
00:58:37,900 --> 00:58:41,100
And only 30 years old, he's just turned 30.

846
00:58:41,100 --> 00:58:44,900
Young for a goalkeeper in Italy.

847
00:58:44,900 --> 00:58:48,460
On the topic of Mourinho we mentioned that he went on that run.

848
00:58:48,460 --> 00:58:54,100
They also went on to ask him about Zaniolo and he replied with you're obsessed with Zaniolo

849
00:58:54,100 --> 00:58:55,100
aren't you?

850
00:58:55,100 --> 00:58:59,460
You, the media, the referees, you're all obsessed with Zaniolo.

851
00:58:59,460 --> 00:59:02,740
He laughed and walked off.

852
00:59:02,740 --> 00:59:03,740
Cheers Mourinho.

853
00:59:03,740 --> 00:59:06,140
Thanks for the clarity dude.

854
00:59:06,140 --> 00:59:07,620
What can I say about that?

855
00:59:07,620 --> 00:59:11,900
The reason they asked him that was because Zaniolo played his first 90 minutes in a long

856
00:59:11,900 --> 00:59:12,900
time.

857
00:59:12,900 --> 00:59:17,740
In reality they weren't really slandering Zaniolo.

858
00:59:17,740 --> 00:59:21,740
They were more asking like ah I see back leg but you know it's true the media does focus

859
00:59:21,740 --> 00:59:22,740
a lot on Zaniolo.

860
00:59:22,740 --> 00:59:25,540
Especially with transfer rumors and stuff recently as well.

861
00:59:25,540 --> 00:59:28,940
That was probably an appropriate reaction by Mourinho there.

862
00:59:28,940 --> 00:59:29,940
Fair enough.

863
00:59:29,940 --> 00:59:33,380
You've got to give the man praise where it's due.

864
00:59:33,380 --> 00:59:36,660
But yeah I don't think Roma did enough.

865
00:59:36,660 --> 00:59:41,540
I think it's part and parcel with what we've said before about Roma struggling to get goals

866
00:59:41,540 --> 00:59:42,540
from open play.

867
00:59:42,540 --> 00:59:47,220
If you come against a side like Bologna that aren't going to give you that, aren't going

868
00:59:47,220 --> 00:59:50,820
to give you those opportunities then you're simply not going to get the goals.

869
00:59:50,820 --> 00:59:54,900
And they literally did what they had to do to get the point and I think Roma would be

870
00:59:54,900 --> 00:59:56,780
disappointed with their performance here.

871
00:59:56,780 --> 00:59:57,780
Yeah for sure.

872
00:59:57,780 --> 01:00:00,220
Kevin Bonifazi came in and he got the job done.

873
01:00:00,220 --> 01:00:06,260
Medell sent her back like her back was fine like he's been playing quite well recently.

874
01:00:06,260 --> 01:00:09,020
Salmaura had a good shift too shouting in front of the fans.

875
01:00:09,020 --> 01:00:10,940
You know they were solid Bologna.

876
01:00:10,940 --> 01:00:13,340
They were solid and they did the job.

877
01:00:13,340 --> 01:00:18,420
They're still managing to get shit done and they are now 6 matches unbeaten.

878
01:00:18,420 --> 01:00:20,660
So Roma are in 5th on 59 points.

879
01:00:20,660 --> 01:00:23,140
There's no chance for Champions League.

880
01:00:23,140 --> 01:00:28,820
They are level with Lazio and they are 3 points ahead of Fiorentina and Atalanta.

881
01:00:28,820 --> 01:00:32,620
Bologna are in 13th on 43 points.

882
01:00:32,620 --> 01:00:36,900
The next game we're going to be covering is Spezia 3 Lazio 4.

883
01:00:36,900 --> 01:00:40,300
So sit back and enjoy.

884
01:00:40,300 --> 01:00:43,020
The reverse fixture was actually even harder to cover.

885
01:00:43,020 --> 01:00:47,980
It was a Lazio 6 Spezia 1 spanking with an immobile hat trick.

886
01:00:47,980 --> 01:00:52,700
Yeah that was match day 2 and we were creaming about Sarri's Lazio.

887
01:00:52,700 --> 01:00:54,700
We Sarribo!

888
01:00:54,700 --> 01:01:00,060
Lazio were coming off the 2-1 home loss to Milan while Spezia were coming off a 2-1 away

889
01:01:00,060 --> 01:01:01,460
loss to Torino.

890
01:01:01,460 --> 01:01:04,860
They are now on a 3 match losing streak.

891
01:01:04,860 --> 01:01:10,980
Lazio have won each of their last 4 Serie A matches against Spezia with both sides finding

892
01:01:10,980 --> 01:01:13,100
the net in each game.

893
01:01:13,100 --> 01:01:16,340
Well entertaining stuff.

894
01:01:16,340 --> 01:01:19,940
In the 9th minute Spezia opened the scoring thanks to Amian.

895
01:01:19,940 --> 01:01:24,780
Verde's ball into the box was headed high by Hirstoff to Amian who headed it downwards

896
01:01:24,780 --> 01:01:26,620
and passed Strakosha.

897
01:01:26,620 --> 01:01:31,380
The goal was scored by the same man who got a red card in the reverse fixture.

898
01:01:31,380 --> 01:01:35,140
In the 33rd minute Immobiles scored the penalty.

899
01:01:35,140 --> 01:01:40,900
Nicolaou handled the ball in the box basically leaving the referee with no option but to

900
01:01:40,900 --> 01:01:42,500
award the penalty.

901
01:01:42,500 --> 01:01:45,500
Immobiles stepped up and smashed the ball into the roof of the net sending Providel

902
01:01:45,500 --> 01:01:46,980
the wrong way.

903
01:01:46,980 --> 01:01:52,740
In the 35th minute Kevin Agudelo got one as Cataldi's back pass was too powerful for

904
01:01:52,740 --> 01:01:58,460
Patrick whose touch was too heavy and was therefore tackled by the pitbull Kevin Agudelo

905
01:01:58,460 --> 01:02:03,220
who drove the whole way and shipped the out coming goalkeeper.

906
01:02:03,220 --> 01:02:08,220
In the 54th minute Providel scored an own goal after Zakhanis shot hit the post and

907
01:02:08,220 --> 01:02:10,620
bounced in off the goalkeeper.

908
01:02:10,620 --> 01:02:17,740
And then right after in the 56th minute Verde hit a free kick perfectly onto the head of

909
01:02:17,740 --> 01:02:21,860
Hirstoff who scored his first ever Serie A goal.

910
01:02:21,860 --> 01:02:28,740
In the 66th minute Lazio equalized through Sergei Mlinkovic-Savage a surging ball into

911
01:02:28,740 --> 01:02:34,580
the box towards SMS was fumbled by Reka and Mlinkovic-Savage of course took full advantage

912
01:02:34,580 --> 01:02:37,980
dragging the ball with his right and finishing with his left.

913
01:02:37,980 --> 01:02:42,220
In the 80th minute Zakhani almost got the winner but the post was his best friend this

914
01:02:42,220 --> 01:02:46,460
game or rather worst enemy because he kept striking it.

915
01:02:46,460 --> 01:02:51,180
Tight angle on the left he shot hit the right post very similar this time there wasn't

916
01:02:51,180 --> 01:02:54,380
Providel to guide it into the back of the net.

917
01:02:54,380 --> 01:03:00,140
In the 90th minute the unlikeliest of goals and the unlikeliest of goal scorers Archery

918
01:03:00,140 --> 01:03:02,020
B got the winner for Lazio.

919
01:03:02,020 --> 01:03:06,900
Luis Alberto gave a through ball to Immobile, Immobile forced Providel into a save the ball

920
01:03:06,900 --> 01:03:11,420
fell to Luis Alberto who tried to shoot he miss hit the ball completely and it bounced

921
01:03:11,420 --> 01:03:17,300
to Archery B who out stepped it over the goalkeeper and into the back of the net even past the

922
01:03:17,300 --> 01:03:20,260
defender that was on the line it was the perfect height and everything.

923
01:03:20,260 --> 01:03:24,820
Now if you watch this Archery B literally kicks the ball towards the sideline at least that's

924
01:03:24,820 --> 01:03:28,980
the way his body was positioned you know I'm not sure if it was intentional or not but

925
01:03:28,980 --> 01:03:35,460
what a goal and who else but the controversial man himself was falling out of the fans who

926
01:03:35,460 --> 01:03:40,420
was accused of laughing after the goal after his error against Milan sorry and that gave

927
01:03:40,420 --> 01:03:45,220
them the winner at the end but yeah crazy game bro thoughts.

928
01:03:45,220 --> 01:03:51,460
So firstly I'm actually happy that Archery B managed to get a 90th minute winner for

929
01:03:51,460 --> 01:03:57,140
Lazio obviously it hasn't been the easiest of seasons for him so it's good to see that

930
01:03:57,140 --> 01:04:03,660
I think this was end to end stuff and as entertaining as it gets but it's not a good sign for Lazio

931
01:04:03,660 --> 01:04:09,140
when you concede three goals to Spezia I think it's not a good sign for anyone when they

932
01:04:09,140 --> 01:04:14,900
concede three goals against Spezia like we know Lazio have always been great going forward

933
01:04:14,900 --> 01:04:20,980
so it's nothing to write home about that they got four past them you know Immobile, fucking

934
01:04:20,980 --> 01:04:29,660
Luis Alberto, Milinkovic Savic, Anderson and all these guys Pedro as well as Akanyi.

935
01:04:29,660 --> 01:04:30,660
Sorry as the manager.

936
01:04:30,660 --> 01:04:34,180
Sorry as the manager they're obviously going to be getting these goals and they managed

937
01:04:34,180 --> 01:04:42,620
to get a victory in the 90th minute in dramatic fashion but come on Spezia shouldn't be dragging

938
01:04:42,620 --> 01:04:48,140
Lazio through the mud the way that they did man Spezia gave them such a tough time.

939
01:04:48,140 --> 01:04:51,780
It's true Lazio looked extremely vulnerable as well at the back and they looked vulnerable

940
01:04:51,780 --> 01:04:55,900
on the break and Spezia really managed to do some damage at times especially on set

941
01:04:55,900 --> 01:05:02,660
pieces as well man you know Lazio really defended poorly on set pieces but anyway Lazio you

942
01:05:02,660 --> 01:05:08,460
can't take anything away from how they dominated the game though they had 71% ball possession

943
01:05:08,460 --> 01:05:13,740
so man they had nine shots on goal compared to Spezia's three shots on goal that all

944
01:05:13,740 --> 01:05:15,380
found the back of the net.

945
01:05:15,380 --> 01:05:22,340
I would choose Spezia in this case that 100% conversion rate you know what I mean it reminds

946
01:05:22,340 --> 01:05:26,780
us of the games against Milan and Napoli that they both wanted.

947
01:05:26,780 --> 01:05:34,780
That's true that's true but ah man like I could criticize Lazio pretty heavily for this

948
01:05:34,780 --> 01:05:39,580
performance obviously it shows great character that they were in that situation and they

949
01:05:39,580 --> 01:05:45,820
were down and they managed to get the victory in the way that they did but I think it's

950
01:05:45,820 --> 01:05:52,740
back to the drawing board see what went wrong and you know there's definitely improvements

951
01:05:52,740 --> 01:05:58,660
that need to be made from the defensive midfield role to literally the four of their defenders.

952
01:05:58,660 --> 01:06:06,340
Now it's just come out bro that Sarri's renewal is not a guarantee.

953
01:06:06,340 --> 01:06:07,820
Not renewal sorry Sarri stay.

954
01:06:07,820 --> 01:06:10,340
It might not go on like okay.

955
01:06:10,340 --> 01:06:16,660
Because apparently Lotito might not be able to give him the tools that he requires to

956
01:06:16,660 --> 01:06:19,620
make this a competitive team that can play his style effectively.

957
01:06:19,620 --> 01:06:23,380
Now why the fuck did they get him in the first place if they're not going to give him the

958
01:06:23,380 --> 01:06:25,080
tools for Sarri ball?

959
01:06:25,080 --> 01:06:29,660
Maybe Lotito thinks that the tools are already there you know and to be honest with you the

960
01:06:29,660 --> 01:06:33,420
players aren't bad but investment needs to be made.

961
01:06:33,420 --> 01:06:36,380
Personally personally personally they have a player who's in his prime right now who

962
01:06:36,380 --> 01:06:40,740
would go for a ridiculous amount of money you know for Sergei Milyankovitch Savvich

963
01:06:40,740 --> 01:06:44,860
you could easily get 80 million euros you know what I mean.

964
01:06:44,860 --> 01:06:50,860
Honestly sell him fuck it bite the bullet and just improve give Sarri what he wants

965
01:06:50,860 --> 01:06:54,900
and see what he can do like it's worth it it's worth the risk I think you know.

966
01:06:54,900 --> 01:07:00,140
Yeah I mean yeah I'll never I'll never be in a situation where I say take take a player

967
01:07:00,140 --> 01:07:05,740
over a manager so I would definitely encourage them to to see what they can do with the funds

968
01:07:05,740 --> 01:07:11,500
of players like Milyankovitch Savvich for a longer term project under Sarri.

969
01:07:11,500 --> 01:07:18,460
I mean SMS isn't going to be there for his entire career either I mean he's being linked

970
01:07:18,460 --> 01:07:19,460
to Juve.

971
01:07:19,460 --> 01:07:20,460
The Premier League.

972
01:07:20,460 --> 01:07:24,140
He's being linked to the Premier League as well but apparently pinch of salt he wants

973
01:07:24,140 --> 01:07:30,180
to stay in Italy but I just don't see the point of getting a manager like Sarri on board

974
01:07:30,180 --> 01:07:33,860
who you know it's going to take two seasons to get the best out of him because he needs

975
01:07:33,860 --> 01:07:37,820
to get the players he needs on board and you're not giving him that opportunity.

976
01:07:37,820 --> 01:07:42,180
I mean Chelsea have done it Juve have done it and now potentially Lazio will do it like

977
01:07:42,180 --> 01:07:46,980
exactly give him give him two seasons three seasons that's you know at Napoli we saw the

978
01:07:46,980 --> 01:07:51,500
best and then at Empoli when he actually had some time over there.

979
01:07:51,500 --> 01:07:57,020
Spezia there's also a rumor about them about Mata potentially leaving for a new adventure

980
01:07:57,020 --> 01:07:59,700
and Pirlo taking the helm.

981
01:07:59,700 --> 01:08:02,940
Okay I mean sure.

982
01:08:02,940 --> 01:08:05,340
Yeah why not.

983
01:08:05,340 --> 01:08:07,860
I mean he's a top four manager for Juve.

984
01:08:07,860 --> 01:08:11,900
Yeah he's a you know he won a trophy with them.

985
01:08:11,900 --> 01:08:16,020
I mean the Coppa or the Super Cup was it?

986
01:08:16,020 --> 01:08:19,620
He won the Super Cup and the Coppa two trophies in the season.

987
01:08:19,620 --> 01:08:25,340
Okay well you know we saw what they might actually do with Mata this season was a you

988
01:08:25,340 --> 01:08:29,260
know somewhat of a new inexperienced manager.

989
01:08:29,260 --> 01:08:32,820
Pirlo could potentially help them improve I don't see them getting relegated under Pirlo

990
01:08:32,820 --> 01:08:36,660
man to be to be fair it could be a good move for them and a good move for Pirlo to get

991
01:08:36,660 --> 01:08:38,220
some experience as well.

992
01:08:38,220 --> 01:08:41,420
It could be especially with their transfer ban lifted you know they'll be able to bring

993
01:08:41,420 --> 01:08:44,940
some players in for the first time and even with fees like Adrian's you know the Spezia

994
01:08:44,940 --> 01:08:48,300
team has been the same for so long.

995
01:08:48,300 --> 01:08:52,540
That would be exciting actually to see to see Pirlo at Spezia, see Pirlo on a place

996
01:08:52,540 --> 01:08:57,020
in an environment without pressure where he can really express himself and we can see

997
01:08:57,020 --> 01:09:01,260
what he's all about you know without the pressure of you are conceding Juve I didn't win that

998
01:09:01,260 --> 01:09:05,860
game is Pirlo good enough is he overrated was he only a good player can players be coaches

999
01:09:05,860 --> 01:09:08,100
you know all that stuff.

1000
01:09:08,100 --> 01:09:13,220
And it's gonna be interesting as well to see Mata if he goes to a bigger club how he's

1001
01:09:13,220 --> 01:09:18,980
gonna fare over there because he's obviously done a good job with Spezia as good as probably

1002
01:09:18,980 --> 01:09:23,740
as he could have done and it'll be interesting to see what he could do with better players

1003
01:09:23,740 --> 01:09:25,780
to his arsenal basically.

1004
01:09:25,780 --> 01:09:27,820
Yeah we'll see how that develops.

1005
01:09:27,820 --> 01:09:33,180
Lazio are currently in sixth with 59 points same amount as Roma two points ahead of Fiorentina

1006
01:09:33,180 --> 01:09:39,380
and Atalanta of course as Spezia are in 16th with 33 points seven points from the drop.

1007
01:09:39,380 --> 01:09:44,020
The next game we're gonna be covering is the Monday night game between Atalanta and Salernitana

1008
01:09:44,020 --> 01:09:46,940
in Bergamo that ended in a 1-1 draw.

1009
01:09:46,940 --> 01:09:51,060
So the previous encounter was a 1-0 away victory for Atalanta.

1010
01:09:51,060 --> 01:09:56,340
Atalanta were coming off a 4-4 midweek draw to Torino while Salernitana were coming off

1011
01:09:56,340 --> 01:10:03,340
a 2-1 home win against Fiorentina which had marked three victories in a row for the side

1012
01:10:03,340 --> 01:10:08,180
from Salerno now it's four matches in a row unbeaten.

1013
01:10:08,180 --> 01:10:12,900
Coming into this game Salernitana and Atalanta had only managed one combined goal in their

1014
01:10:12,900 --> 01:10:18,380
last three encounters and that was the Duvan Zapata goal in the reverse fixture.

1015
01:10:18,380 --> 01:10:23,440
So in the 27th minute a long ball by Madzocchi found Juric on the side of the area who headed

1016
01:10:23,440 --> 01:10:28,300
the ball square to Ederson who flew in and finished on the flying volley.

1017
01:10:28,300 --> 01:10:34,420
In the 88th minute a wonderful disguised long pass by Malinovski found Pasilic who squeezed

1018
01:10:34,420 --> 01:10:39,580
it in from a tight angle there was a Varchek in place to see if the man was offside but

1019
01:10:39,580 --> 01:10:46,020
he timed his run to perfection and what a ball it was by Malinovski.

1020
01:10:46,020 --> 01:10:54,100
Now for 88 minutes Salernitana were out of the relegation pool for the first time this

1021
01:10:54,100 --> 01:10:57,100
season.

1022
01:10:57,100 --> 01:11:03,140
Yeah absolutely fucking incredible man like the David and Nicola miracle when he arrived

1023
01:11:03,140 --> 01:11:06,600
everyone was talking about that Crotona miracle of course.

1024
01:11:06,600 --> 01:11:07,600
We laughed at it.

1025
01:11:07,600 --> 01:11:11,140
But we exactly that's the thing everyone was mocking it almost because they were like as

1026
01:11:11,140 --> 01:11:16,460
if that's gonna happen again because it seemed so far-fetched but the fact is that Genoa

1027
01:11:16,460 --> 01:11:22,820
and Venezia and even Caliari have remained so shit have been so consistently poor that

1028
01:11:22,820 --> 01:11:29,580
it allowed Salernitana with three wins and a draw to be pretty much in contention for

1029
01:11:29,580 --> 01:11:33,540
salvation and they're the hottest team in the relegation pool right now.

1030
01:11:33,540 --> 01:11:37,300
100% they look much better than Caliari for example I mean they just managed to get a

1031
01:11:37,300 --> 01:11:45,140
point against Atalanta now Atalanta sure they've been shit Atalanta as well in comparison to

1032
01:11:45,140 --> 01:11:50,740
the rest of the seven sisters or the top ten as well even the top ten but there's still

1033
01:11:50,740 --> 01:11:55,360
a side that come against Spezia and they win they come against Caliari and they win second

1034
01:11:55,360 --> 01:11:59,660
they come against one of these sides they expose them to shit but they didn't manage

1035
01:11:59,660 --> 01:12:04,300
to do that with Salernitana they didn't manage at all Salernitana got an early goal and they

1036
01:12:04,300 --> 01:12:07,140
held in for 88 minutes bro wow.

1037
01:12:07,140 --> 01:12:13,340
They did they did bro they had they had the body controlled moments as you said they had

1038
01:12:13,340 --> 01:12:19,180
38 percent ball possession but had nine shots on goal to Atalanta's five so in reality

1039
01:12:19,180 --> 01:12:23,900
they did in their own way dominate this game you know they did have control of this game

1040
01:12:23,900 --> 01:12:28,900
for in their own way you know as a team that has just come up with wants to dominate the

1041
01:12:28,900 --> 01:12:35,300
game exactly and I would agree with you there man now Atalanta looked well they were they

1042
01:12:35,300 --> 01:12:41,540
were fighting for a point against Salernitana where you know which which goes to show how

1043
01:12:41,540 --> 01:12:49,940
far Salernitana have come now there are three matches left four matches left for Salernitana

1044
01:12:49,940 --> 01:12:56,580
this is suddenly suddenly looking incredibly possible for them and and it'll be good to

1045
01:12:56,580 --> 01:13:01,300
have their fans for another season and say yeah for sure for sure and can you imagine

1046
01:13:01,300 --> 01:13:06,260
like if they pull this off the scenes and their stadium my god I want to say as well

1047
01:13:06,260 --> 01:13:10,500
bro this ederson guy looks really good first of all he's giving me junior messias at crothone

1048
01:13:10,500 --> 01:13:15,220
vibes the way he's like that like Brazilian kind of flair I'm not even sure if he's Brazilian

1049
01:13:15,220 --> 01:13:19,260
but with name ederson I would assume he's Brazilian looking at him he looks totally

1050
01:13:19,260 --> 01:13:25,340
Brazilian so let's I'm not even gonna fact check it the Brazilian ederson exactly jurek

1051
01:13:25,340 --> 01:13:32,820
has the best header in the league do you agree with me um I don't know about the best header

1052
01:13:32,820 --> 01:13:38,860
in the league but he can definitely utilize his height he can 100% utilize his height

1053
01:13:38,860 --> 01:13:44,040
and using him as that kind of dummy on the side of the area to square balls two players

1054
01:13:44,040 --> 01:13:49,220
like ederson who are gonna be diving in that's not a bad system man you know corner to the

1055
01:13:49,220 --> 01:13:53,860
far post he's there free kick to the far post he's there to the center he's there and he

1056
01:13:53,860 --> 01:13:59,560
can head it towards goal no he's been he's been utilized well definitely much better

1057
01:13:59,560 --> 01:14:04,660
than they utilized simi yeah in the first half of the season man remember simi yeah

1058
01:14:04,660 --> 01:14:09,820
but simi is kind of a different player he's tall as well but he doesn't have that like

1059
01:14:09,820 --> 01:14:14,500
he's not as dominant in the air simi actually can take the ball down pretty well he can

1060
01:14:14,500 --> 01:14:19,380
turn pretty well he can hold up play well but he's actually not that good of a header

1061
01:14:19,380 --> 01:14:22,980
you know what I mean yeah yeah no I get what you mean totally he's more that kind of guy

1062
01:14:22,980 --> 01:14:29,380
that you know I'd recommend him more for his control in the air and his volleys and his

1063
01:14:29,380 --> 01:14:33,140
poaching ability look at his goals they're all poaching efforts with his feet you know

1064
01:14:33,140 --> 01:14:38,700
he barely scores with his head even though he's 6-6 which is mental yeah facts facts

1065
01:14:38,700 --> 01:14:43,300
so there's definitely still a lot of work for atalanta to do if they want to get back

1066
01:14:43,300 --> 01:14:49,580
to the top 4 next season there have been a lot of rumors about gasperini's future as

1067
01:14:49,580 --> 01:14:54,140
well it seems like it's rumor season it is I mean the season's about to end summer's

1068
01:14:54,140 --> 01:15:02,460
coming up now of course the classic rumors are coming out that gasperini's future will

1069
01:15:02,460 --> 01:15:10,180
be determined by the milan game of course we can witness his downfall imagine oh stop

1070
01:15:10,180 --> 01:15:16,420
imagine no this is how the cycle started now the milan cycle the 5-0 loss to atalanta and

1071
01:15:16,420 --> 01:15:22,180
gasperini dancing imagine it ends with a milan victory over atalanta and gasperini getting

1072
01:15:22,180 --> 01:15:28,220
sacked just like touch every single piece of wood there is in the room I do not want

1073
01:15:28,220 --> 01:15:33,500
to talk about milan atalanta in fact can we please now this is a man who's won down in

1074
01:15:33,500 --> 01:15:40,460
the prediction series can we skip the prediction series for that one like there's no way I'm

1075
01:15:40,460 --> 01:15:45,980
predicting that yeah I hate predicting I hate making predictions about milan man I'm superstitious

1076
01:15:45,980 --> 01:15:50,500
and I'm fucking but anyway in fact I'm always a little bit negative when it comes to milan

1077
01:15:50,500 --> 01:15:53,180
the predictions because I hate saying that milan are not going to win comfortably yeah

1078
01:15:53,180 --> 01:15:58,740
I'm always moping when milan play because it makes milan play better atalanta are in

1079
01:15:58,740 --> 01:16:04,140
8th there are two points behind roma and lazio and leveled with Fiorentina salenitana 18th

1080
01:16:04,140 --> 01:16:09,540
two points behind caliari but have that game in hand against venezia the next game we're

1081
01:16:09,540 --> 01:16:19,260
going to be covering is caliari 1 verona 2 caliari sacked mazzari bro yep and they released

1082
01:16:19,260 --> 01:16:24,740
a social media post that basically says walter mazzari has been sacked and they released

1083
01:16:24,740 --> 01:16:29,360
another one right after saying that walter mazzari stuff has also been sacked but this

1084
01:16:29,360 --> 01:16:34,500
time they thanked them for their service but they did not thank mazzari of course which

1085
01:16:34,500 --> 01:16:39,500
is fucking hilarious how petty can you be yeah they probably knew what was coming man

1086
01:16:39,500 --> 01:16:45,180
because it turns out he signed a deal with the club in september which stated that if

1087
01:16:45,180 --> 01:16:50,060
caliari were to get rid of him when the team were outside of the relegation zone then he

1088
01:16:50,060 --> 01:16:56,220
would be entitled to two more years of employment however it's now looking like the club are

1089
01:16:56,220 --> 01:17:01,900
going to choose to pay him off to ensure that he is no longer on their books probably but

1090
01:17:01,900 --> 01:17:10,380
what a hilarious turn of events man to be honest with you they're they're really desperate

1091
01:17:10,380 --> 01:17:14,220
right now because they're looking at that game in hand by salenitana and they're shitting

1092
01:17:14,220 --> 01:17:18,620
their pants right now they're like we need a change something needs to happen like fuck

1093
01:17:18,620 --> 01:17:23,940
it we'll have this guy on our payroll until 2024 we'll pay him off whatever we just need

1094
01:17:23,940 --> 01:17:28,700
to get out of the situation they just need a new injection for these three games man

1095
01:17:28,700 --> 01:17:34,580
yeah and and i mean clearly this guy isn't the one you know yeah maybe he's not the one

1096
01:17:34,580 --> 01:17:39,340
but you know who is the one bro alessandro agostini the primavera coach because he's

1097
01:17:39,340 --> 01:17:48,460
gonna be he's gonna be fucking leading the line for um from the bench for caliari oh my god how

1098
01:17:48,460 --> 01:17:53,660
interesting he is 42 years old he was previously a player that played for helas veron he's actually

1099
01:17:53,660 --> 01:17:58,940
featured for caliari too he started his youth career at ferentina and has also played for ampoli

1100
01:17:58,940 --> 01:18:05,500
you know classic journeyman and so yeah yeah wishing him the best of luck in this encounter

1101
01:18:05,500 --> 01:18:10,780
yeah but anyway caliari coming into this game were coming off a one nil away lost to genoa

1102
01:18:10,780 --> 01:18:16,780
while verona were coming off a one one draw to some doria verona are now unbeaten and they're

1103
01:18:16,780 --> 01:18:24,380
lost seven games against caliari whoa what was the reverse fixture for this one uh nil nil okay

1104
01:18:24,380 --> 01:18:30,620
cool so in the eighth minute simione showed some great strength down the right hand side to out

1105
01:18:30,620 --> 01:18:37,420
muscle dalbera and lavato as he played the ball low and hard into the box to barack who finished

1106
01:18:37,420 --> 01:18:44,540
past cronio simione has been showing some good work ethic recently this was great play down the

1107
01:18:44,540 --> 01:18:49,660
right hand side from him you can really see who his father is hey hey kate abaldi hit the crossbar

1108
01:18:49,660 --> 01:18:55,900
on a very tight angle later on and in the 44th minute caprari scored a long ball by illich fell

1109
01:18:55,900 --> 01:19:00,300
to caprari who cut into the box and finished low and hard into the bottom corner in the

1110
01:19:00,300 --> 01:19:06,940
57th minute joao pedro scored a free kick on the keeper's side into the top right corner yeah but

1111
01:19:06,940 --> 01:19:12,460
hey what a goal what a goal what a goal but of course caliari did not have enough in their

1112
01:19:12,460 --> 01:19:18,140
locker to actually get anything out of this game and are currently threatened by the ravaging

1113
01:19:18,140 --> 01:19:23,340
salernitana that are lingering below them literally literally now it's not that caliari

1114
01:19:23,900 --> 01:19:27,740
aren't hungry because they're playing their asses off they are just a certain

1115
01:19:27,740 --> 01:19:33,260
lack of quality it just doesn't tick you know what i mean caliari don't tick man which is surprising

1116
01:19:33,260 --> 01:19:37,340
man we've we've discussed this before but you know you look at the individuals on this team they

1117
01:19:38,140 --> 01:19:44,460
great they're good but they play like individuals at times man yeah yeah i mean we're looking at a

1118
01:19:44,460 --> 01:19:52,620
lineup over here have cronio on goal they've got altare and lovato at the back who i i rate them

1119
01:19:52,620 --> 01:19:59,100
i rate them both basically then they have golden ega who's all right i rate bella nova highly down

1120
01:19:59,100 --> 01:20:04,380
the right-hand side it's his first full season to be honest as well yeah yeah yeah marion is

1121
01:20:04,380 --> 01:20:08,540
obviously a good player they've always had nandez out for a while and then joao pedro and kata

1122
01:20:08,540 --> 01:20:13,500
balde are two somewhat established strikers definitely at least joao pedro definitely is

1123
01:20:13,500 --> 01:20:20,220
so this isn't normally a side that you would see get relegated you could even compare it to the

1124
01:20:20,220 --> 01:20:24,380
verona side and say this is going to be a good game if you knew nothing about football and just

1125
01:20:24,380 --> 01:20:31,100
about players true you you make a good point like this is a team maybe they won't beat verona maybe

1126
01:20:31,100 --> 01:20:36,780
losing the verona is okay but the fact that they are so low in the table is astonishing quite

1127
01:20:36,780 --> 01:20:40,380
frankly and the fact that it's happening year after year lately you know it's become a trend

1128
01:20:40,380 --> 01:20:46,220
caliari being so far down in the table shows that there's probably a problem at the top you know

1129
01:20:46,220 --> 01:20:52,860
they're not addressing certain situations short-term fixes loan deals bringing in old players who just

1130
01:20:52,860 --> 01:20:58,220
wants to go to sardinia and live on the beach and enjoy the nice weather you know like godin godin

1131
01:20:58,220 --> 01:21:04,540
was there exactly what's his name caseres as well caseres as well uh-huh um but but you know like

1132
01:21:04,540 --> 01:21:09,820
like you're saying it's definitely a problem at the top and seeing teams like geno and caliari

1133
01:21:09,820 --> 01:21:15,420
potentially going down i'm sorry to say this because i really like both teams but it's fucking

1134
01:21:15,420 --> 01:21:21,580
you know it's deserved it's deserved that these two sides get relegated and then seeing teams from

1135
01:21:21,580 --> 01:21:26,380
bear coming up and staying up is what we want to see at the end of the day in the beginning of the

1136
01:21:26,380 --> 01:21:33,180
season we were getting questions asking us what are this area gonna do to stop the three teams

1137
01:21:33,180 --> 01:21:38,780
that get promoted going down inevitably going down and here we are in a situation like this

1138
01:21:38,780 --> 01:21:42,700
we're in a situation where the two teams that deserve to be punished in the league are being

1139
01:21:42,700 --> 01:21:48,060
punished you know genoa and caliari the two disappointing ones in the transfer market the

1140
01:21:48,060 --> 01:21:55,580
two ones with the short-term solutions quick fixes um some doya are always are also there with their

1141
01:21:55,580 --> 01:21:59,180
quick fixes and their lack of activity in the transfer market but they seem to be getting

1142
01:21:59,180 --> 01:22:05,820
away with it for now yeah so we'll see we'll see how that progresses down the years so what was

1143
01:22:05,820 --> 01:22:10,940
that that that lippy said i know that lippy said that that tonalia has been the best player in the

1144
01:22:10,940 --> 01:22:17,340
league so so far which is obviously debatable but tonalia has has grown significantly but he also

1145
01:22:17,340 --> 01:22:24,060
said that tudor is the best performing manager this season do you agree with that considering how

1146
01:22:24,060 --> 01:22:31,100
di francesco started um tudor is definitely in the list of most impressive managers this season

1147
01:22:31,660 --> 01:22:37,500
um i would not say that he's the best the season the most impressive i would say that he's third

1148
01:22:37,500 --> 01:22:45,900
probably well potentially fourth let me explain so if touchwood milan win the league that would make

1149
01:22:46,860 --> 01:22:52,140
purely the best manager of the season for sure because he would have won it through against all

1150
01:22:52,140 --> 01:22:57,100
odds with all these injuries and problems and controversial calls and whatever he would have

1151
01:22:57,100 --> 01:23:02,140
won the league right then there's of course with those two players leaving on a free crazy like

1152
01:23:02,140 --> 01:23:06,140
if inter win the league okay granted you can say inzaghi of course because no one expected

1153
01:23:06,140 --> 01:23:10,140
inter to win the league you know but you had contest foundation laid out for him he's with

1154
01:23:10,140 --> 01:23:15,820
the defending champions so in reality it's not that impressive you know what i mean um italiano

1155
01:23:16,460 --> 01:23:23,260
100 billion percent one of my favorite managers in the league absolutely transformed them and i

1156
01:23:23,260 --> 01:23:29,260
would say third would be nikola if he manages to survive oh yeah yep and you know what there

1157
01:23:29,260 --> 01:23:34,940
are managers like urich who are a good shout as well he completely transformed torino as well

1158
01:23:34,940 --> 01:23:40,700
there are a couple of look i rate italian managers a lot man and italian managers i saw recently have

1159
01:23:40,700 --> 01:23:46,140
been the most successful managers in europe yeah as well that makes sense yeah 100 percent the

1160
01:23:46,140 --> 01:23:53,180
tactics of say so of course um as we've mentioned before calieri sits 17th with 28 points while

1161
01:23:53,180 --> 01:23:59,340
verona sit 9th with 52 points that my dude is straight facts so the next game we're going to

1162
01:23:59,340 --> 01:24:07,820
be covering is empoli 1 torino 3 so the reverse fixture was a 2-2 draw between these sides empoli

1163
01:24:07,820 --> 01:24:13,100
were coming off a 3-2 home victory over anapoli while storino were coming off that midweek 4-4

1164
01:24:13,100 --> 01:24:20,540
away draw to atalanta empoli and torino have faced each other 20 times in seria 9 draws 4 wins for

1165
01:24:20,540 --> 01:24:28,060
torino and 7 for empoli empoli had been unbeaten at home to torino in the past nine games in seria

1166
01:24:28,060 --> 01:24:35,820
a so this obviously broke that torino curse so for the play-by-play pinamonti missed a big chance as

1167
01:24:35,820 --> 01:24:41,740
he chipped the oncoming berisha but failed to hit the target and at the beginning of the second half

1168
01:24:41,740 --> 01:24:47,660
in the 52nd in the 56th minute rather zorkovsky found the net it was a shot from distance into

1169
01:24:47,660 --> 01:24:52,460
the bottom corner berisha got a hand to it but failed to keep it out it was one of those dragging

1170
01:24:52,460 --> 01:24:58,300
shots in the 60th minute just four minutes later there was a red card for very after a varcek his

1171
01:24:58,300 --> 01:25:04,460
studs were up it was a late challenge on pelle egri and it was rightly awarded in the 78th minute

1172
01:25:04,460 --> 01:25:11,020
it was the start of gallo's show there was a penalty awarded after a varcek the keeper tracked

1173
01:25:11,020 --> 01:25:16,220
the penalty very well but there was too much power and too much precision on bellotti's strike he did

1174
01:25:16,220 --> 01:25:22,380
a quick gallo away a hamoru you know he picked up the ball did one of those and like he just

1175
01:25:22,380 --> 01:25:26,940
continued with a quick hand on forehead and just run away like no exactly in the 85th minute

1176
01:25:26,940 --> 01:25:33,580
stojanovic's handball in the area after a richie shot got torino their second penalty and stojanovic's

1177
01:25:33,580 --> 01:25:40,380
second yellow card so he got sent off and torino got awarded another penalty bellotti stepped up

1178
01:25:40,380 --> 01:25:45,820
and there was the exact same outcome he went the same side with the same power keeper tracked it but

1179
01:25:45,820 --> 01:25:53,020
again too much power and too much precision what a penalty by gallo in the 96th minute gallo got his

1180
01:25:53,020 --> 01:26:00,140
hat trick brekola did well to pull the ball back from the byline to gallo who finished sliding in

1181
01:26:00,140 --> 01:26:07,740
so let's instantly address the gallo hat trick yes please i have something i would like to say about

1182
01:26:07,740 --> 01:26:12,460
this of course so this is bellotti reminding everyone that he's still a prolific striker and

1183
01:26:12,460 --> 01:26:17,580
say yeah that can still score goals and be useful for many teams we saw that roma have been interested

1184
01:26:17,580 --> 01:26:21,740
in him we saw that milan have been interested in him and we have seen that atalanta have been

1185
01:26:21,740 --> 01:26:30,540
interested in him i think that an ideal destination for him would be actually atalanta or roma right

1186
01:26:30,540 --> 01:26:40,380
now possibly i would even say roma just go to roma and fucking be like tammy's sub tammy needs a sub

1187
01:26:40,380 --> 01:26:46,620
player right now shomorodov has not been good enough quite frankly and i think having bellotti

1188
01:26:46,620 --> 01:26:50,620
to rotate with abraham would be really good and even playing them together yeah i was i was going

1189
01:26:50,620 --> 01:26:55,820
to say moreno's been utilizing that two up front he's been playing zaniolo up front and zaniolo's

1190
01:26:55,820 --> 01:27:00,300
been linked with a move away he might definitely be a good coup for roma but it's interesting that

1191
01:27:00,300 --> 01:27:06,220
you say roma and atalanta when they both have strikers and milan definitely need a striker so

1192
01:27:06,220 --> 01:27:13,100
is what you're saying that bellotti doesn't have what it takes to be the leading striker of a league

1193
01:27:13,100 --> 01:27:19,180
challenging team if bellotti goes to milan i don't think he should be the lead striker and and i

1194
01:27:19,180 --> 01:27:25,420
think that invest corp or eliot any of them would not allow that to happen especially after the

1195
01:27:25,420 --> 01:27:30,140
season that milan have had you know i think that it's about time that they get someone prolific

1196
01:27:30,140 --> 01:27:35,020
up front quite frankly invest a little bit heavily on a striker i'm not opposed to milan getting

1197
01:27:35,020 --> 01:27:39,260
bellotti you know how i feel about him but bellotti isn't a player that you can go into the champions

1198
01:27:39,260 --> 01:27:44,940
league with and he'll turn the game around for you know what i mean bellotti is a player you get to

1199
01:27:44,940 --> 01:27:49,900
cement that top four spot in the league you know what i mean he's a player that you get he's going

1200
01:27:49,900 --> 01:27:53,660
to score against the lower sides the minnow sides he's going to perform domestically and he's going

1201
01:27:53,660 --> 01:27:59,100
to guarantee you the cl qualification for the next year that's how you utilize bellotti so it'd be

1202
01:27:59,100 --> 01:28:03,900
good for example for roma if they have european football one day for example they qualify for the

1203
01:28:03,900 --> 01:28:07,980
champions league next season hopefully they can play bellotti in the league and rest time for the

1204
01:28:07,980 --> 01:28:13,580
champions league for example exactly exactly i mean even the way that that bellotti plays he is

1205
01:28:13,580 --> 01:28:18,940
great as an injection isn't he yeah i mean he comes on he shows grit he's great at holding the

1206
01:28:18,940 --> 01:28:24,060
ball up it'd be great in a situation where you need a goal and it'd be great in a situation where

1207
01:28:24,060 --> 01:28:29,100
you need to hold the results it's true it's he's great in those scenarios so it would be good to

1208
01:28:29,100 --> 01:28:35,500
see him slightly rotated i think we'd see the best of him if he were in that position i think that

1209
01:28:35,500 --> 01:28:39,900
unfortunately his best days are slightly behind him in the sense that he's not going to have

1210
01:28:39,900 --> 01:28:45,580
another season that's going to put his price up to 80 million i simply don't market value wise

1211
01:28:45,580 --> 01:28:51,260
you're absolutely right yeah but but it will be a move away i mean his contract he's running down

1212
01:28:51,260 --> 01:28:56,380
his contract and it'll be interesting to see there's also a move to canada potentially on

1213
01:28:56,380 --> 01:29:02,940
the cards to join to join insinia you will see 28 years old bellotti yeah yeah still still you know

1214
01:29:04,140 --> 01:29:08,620
he's in his prime and he's been plagued by injuries throughout his prime that's like 24 in serie i

1215
01:29:09,500 --> 01:29:15,020
exactly so torino are keeping up the momentum bro they're they're on a good run and they have been

1216
01:29:15,980 --> 01:29:21,100
for a while over here they had a slight dip not a slight dip that a significant dip midway through

1217
01:29:21,100 --> 01:29:27,180
the season where they kind of proved that they weren't top 10 top 10 worthy and that veron and

1218
01:29:27,180 --> 01:29:34,940
sasuala were better sides essentially but if they show continuity under urich i'm sure we'll be

1219
01:29:34,940 --> 01:29:38,940
seeing a top 10 side next season potentially i think so too i think they will sneak into the top

1220
01:29:38,940 --> 01:29:46,940
10 next year they definitely have what it takes yeah two red cards for empoli from sheer frustration

1221
01:29:46,940 --> 01:29:52,460
and and lack of discipline i would say um again obviously empoli are coming off an

1222
01:29:52,460 --> 01:29:59,900
inspiring victory over napoli but how significant is that when you look at empoli's form in the

1223
01:29:59,900 --> 01:30:04,780
second half of the season i don't think it's that significant no it's not um of course that's going

1224
01:30:04,780 --> 01:30:08,860
to be one of the highlights of this season if not the highlight you know just looking at pinamonte

1225
01:30:08,860 --> 01:30:12,700
running with all the fucking the whole squad running onto the pitch and he's taking it takes

1226
01:30:12,700 --> 01:30:17,180
off a shirt he's running between them you know the scenes were immaculate and it's probably going to

1227
01:30:17,180 --> 01:30:24,700
be their moment of the season but again they could the hangover was instant you know yeah boom reality

1228
01:30:24,700 --> 01:30:31,420
check once again torino got off the bench hat trick you know exactly like you're fragile you're clumsy

1229
01:30:31,420 --> 01:30:38,460
you're mentally you you're not there and you made a point earlier on in the pod that said that

1230
01:30:38,460 --> 01:30:42,860
because empoli survived they should keep andrea adzoli for another season do you think that's

1231
01:30:42,860 --> 01:30:48,620
still the case or do you think they need you know someone a bit more progressive perhaps in reality

1232
01:30:49,500 --> 01:30:56,380
i think that in andrea adzoli's contract there's written that survival is your objective right

1233
01:30:57,020 --> 01:31:00,940
most most likely let's be i mean they did finish first in the league but that was under dionisi

1234
01:31:01,580 --> 01:31:07,340
and seriabeu but so yes i think that if he achieves the goal of the season the aim then

1235
01:31:07,340 --> 01:31:13,020
you should remain on board yeah i think it's only fair i don't think so i think like if you

1236
01:31:13,020 --> 01:31:19,100
if you reassess halfway through the season and you see like all right we're in this position

1237
01:31:19,100 --> 01:31:23,420
let's monetize this what are we gonna do what's the secondary goal what's the secondary target

1238
01:31:24,140 --> 01:31:30,780
and you know you barely register a win you get you get one win in the second half of the campaign

1239
01:31:31,660 --> 01:31:35,740
then i think you're signing up for a shit season next season because your team is playing shit

1240
01:31:35,740 --> 01:31:41,180
and i think if your team is playing shit then you need a new manager and i think they need it it's

1241
01:31:41,180 --> 01:31:47,420
andrea adzoli's second stint at empoli you know they lost they lost dionisi after getting promotion

1242
01:31:47,420 --> 01:31:54,460
to to seria i think a new manager might be on the cards for them and he has been complaining about

1243
01:31:54,460 --> 01:31:59,900
the the squad you see you remember the blanket and yeah yeah i took it completely the wrong way

1244
01:31:59,900 --> 01:32:06,620
i remember as well maybe that's all he needs a few more tools i wonder what they'll do to be honest

1245
01:32:06,620 --> 01:32:10,860
the second half of the season has been has definitely been worrying and the owners will

1246
01:32:10,860 --> 01:32:17,020
definitely have a think about it but once again we'll wait and we'll see yeah we'll wait and we

1247
01:32:17,020 --> 01:32:24,700
will see so torino are actually in 10th place after sasuala dropped you know points in three

1248
01:32:24,700 --> 01:32:30,860
matches on the trot a total of nine points that were dropped they're on 47 points empoli on the

1249
01:32:30,860 --> 01:32:37,020
other hand are 14th on 37 points yes sir the next game we're going to be covering is the derby della

1250
01:32:37,020 --> 01:32:45,500
lanterna the derby of genoa sampdoria against genoa which ended 1-0 to sampdoria the reverse

1251
01:32:45,500 --> 01:32:51,900
fixture was a 3-1 away victory to sampdoria that was when genoa looked really bad yeah yeah at the

1252
01:32:51,900 --> 01:32:56,300
beginning of the season when they just got thumped by inter fornil they were losing everything exactly

1253
01:32:56,940 --> 01:33:02,380
sampdoria were coming off a 1-1 away draw against varona which was a good result for them yeah

1254
01:33:02,380 --> 01:33:07,660
genoa were coming off a dramatic 1-0 win over cali so both teams were coming into this relatively

1255
01:33:07,660 --> 01:33:16,060
inspired probably cali or genoa more than sampdoria yeah this was the 78th edition of the derby della

1256
01:33:16,060 --> 01:33:23,340
lanterna 31 wins for sampdoria on this fixture 18 wins for genoa and 28 draws this could be the

1257
01:33:23,340 --> 01:33:28,220
last derby della lanterna for a while unless potentially we see it in serba next year who

1258
01:33:28,220 --> 01:33:35,260
knows yeah who knows who the fuck knows or unless they both survive who knows not us in the 25th

1259
01:33:35,260 --> 01:33:41,660
minute abdel hamid sabiri scored a goal finally bro finally we've been talking about this guy

1260
01:33:41,660 --> 01:33:45,820
for a while he works so hard he presses so hard he finally got a goal and this is definitely one

1261
01:33:45,820 --> 01:33:49,980
that he'll remember because he's gonna go down as a hero for getting the winning goal in the derby

1262
01:33:49,980 --> 01:33:55,260
della lanterna yeah okay it was in the 25th minute across from how jello out wide made its way into

1263
01:33:55,260 --> 01:34:01,900
the center of the area and sabiri came sliding in to convert his first and only goal of the season

1264
01:34:02,540 --> 01:34:09,740
in the 38th minutes terraro went out injured for portanova and in the 46th minute criuscieto

1265
01:34:09,740 --> 01:34:15,420
entered the fray in the stead of vasquez now this is particularly noteworthy because of what happens

1266
01:34:15,420 --> 01:34:23,100
later on in the 96th minute where a varcek confirmed a penalty for genoa there was a handball

1267
01:34:23,100 --> 01:34:29,980
in the box by alex ferrari criuscieto stepped up um criuscieto is known to be a rigorista a penalty

1268
01:34:29,980 --> 01:34:35,820
specialist he had like five in the first few games of the season all converted all converted you know

1269
01:34:35,820 --> 01:34:42,780
and i actually told you yeah as he was stepping up the table literally said like criuscieto has

1270
01:34:42,780 --> 01:34:48,780
one penalty missing him a season and this is it that's the thing because i follow him closely on

1271
01:34:48,780 --> 01:34:54,300
fantasy football actually um he misses a penalty he's a very good penalty taker but he always

1272
01:34:54,300 --> 01:34:57,500
misses one a season i was like he hasn't missed one this season this probably the last one they're

1273
01:34:57,500 --> 01:35:02,140
gonna get he just looked nervous he did look nervous so nervous he was feeling the pressure of

1274
01:35:02,140 --> 01:35:08,140
the moment he stepped up and his effort was well saved by odaro and he was inconsolable after

1275
01:35:08,140 --> 01:35:13,100
criuscieto who was crying he was putting his shirt over his face his teammates were rivals were coming

1276
01:35:13,100 --> 01:35:16,940
up to him telling him it's all right bro like you're off to america you're gonna make money

1277
01:35:17,740 --> 01:35:22,460
you don't need to worry about this but i just think he was like hyper aware that that was probably

1278
01:35:22,460 --> 01:35:27,100
his last moment in a genoa shirt and he's been there for so long bro recently i posted a clip of

1279
01:35:28,620 --> 01:35:31,980
on tiktok of fucking what was it again

1280
01:35:31,980 --> 01:35:36,380
and uh shit

1281
01:35:39,500 --> 01:35:44,460
can't remember you can't do it bro you can't you can't who was it was it was a back three

1282
01:35:44,460 --> 01:35:49,580
basically there was a back three ah the derby della lanterna the og one and in defense there

1283
01:35:49,580 --> 01:35:56,620
was tiago motta alongside criuscieto and someone else you can't do it do do do it

1284
01:35:56,620 --> 01:36:03,580
oh you're rich yes okay 2009 bro you did it yeah wow

1285
01:36:05,740 --> 01:36:12,380
2009 and criuscieto was playing alongside two men who are managing right now that's actually crazy

1286
01:36:12,380 --> 01:36:17,740
that's a good find by you well done thank you very very much brother thoughts did samtoria

1287
01:36:17,740 --> 01:36:24,620
deserve all three points um it's tough to say in the derby della lanterna i feel like whoever gets

1288
01:36:24,620 --> 01:36:30,220
away with the victory deserves the victory in this case because they simply rose to the occasion and

1289
01:36:30,220 --> 01:36:36,220
they got the job done now obviously it was unlucky that criuscieto missed the penalty

1290
01:36:36,220 --> 01:36:42,140
it's a fantastic save by audaro i just think that all around samtoria this season although they've

1291
01:36:42,140 --> 01:36:47,580
been fucking abysmal they have been better than genoa and they got the better of them twice and

1292
01:36:47,580 --> 01:36:54,140
there should be no excuses over there for genoa yes it's safe to say that that genoa is blue and

1293
01:36:54,140 --> 01:37:00,940
white at the moment um poor genoa um this is what they get for not cleaning their their gift shop

1294
01:37:00,940 --> 01:37:05,900
because when i went in it was absolutely fucking disgusting there were cobwebs on the fucking

1295
01:37:05,900 --> 01:37:11,820
ceiling there was like fucking smegma on the stairs like disgusting bro the first episode i

1296
01:37:11,820 --> 01:37:18,380
think you mentioned i walked in i walked in and the guy at the desk barked at me i walked in and

1297
01:37:18,380 --> 01:37:24,860
i went like what the fuck i'm like where the fuck am i like i understand that you guys just lost

1298
01:37:25,100 --> 01:37:30,220
no no i wasn't in a meal like it i actually went to buy a goran pandev kit ah you're saying at the

1299
01:37:30,220 --> 01:37:36,540
gift shop without the match no no the gifts are the guys all right all right but yes bro um let's

1300
01:37:36,540 --> 01:37:43,020
conclude that over here genoa are 19th with 25 points three points from safety while samtoria

1301
01:37:43,020 --> 01:37:48,700
are 15 to 33.7 from the drop

1302
01:37:54,140 --> 01:37:59,660

1306
01:38:15,740 --> 01:38:20,860
question about three questions not too much comes from jack underscore motivates our boy

1307
01:38:20,860 --> 01:38:27,020
our fucking boy he's off the fucking bali soon a year in bali or something than a year in australia

1308
01:38:27,020 --> 01:38:33,900
he's so the type bro he is literally the type he says seria be the best league ever

1309
01:38:33,900 --> 01:38:40,620
the greatest season of all time oh definitely the greatest season man what a season it's been

1310
01:38:40,620 --> 01:38:47,260
it's so it's going to be interesting to see leche in seria once again there's monza that are

1311
01:38:47,260 --> 01:38:53,580
basically there they're battling it out with cremo nese and i'm really excited to see how the

1312
01:38:53,580 --> 01:38:58,860
how the playoffs are going to go with either monza or cremo nese and there's pisa brecha

1313
01:38:58,860 --> 01:39:04,220
benevento we're seeing some some teams that have had a couple of spells in seria some new names as

1314
01:39:04,220 --> 01:39:10,620
well and just go through the points for a second bro dude askoli are on 62 points in seventh

1315
01:39:10,620 --> 01:39:18,460
benevento on 63 points in sixth brecha on fifth with 63 points pisa on fourth with 64 points

1316
01:39:18,460 --> 01:39:26,540
cremo nese in third with 66 points monza in second with 67 points and lechia in first with 68 points

1317
01:39:26,540 --> 01:39:32,380
literally just one point above each other that's fucking crazy it is it's crazy i can't wait for

1318
01:39:32,380 --> 01:39:37,420
the playoffs the playoffs are going to be massive honestly honestly can't wait either but yes jack

1319
01:39:37,420 --> 01:39:42,620
100 percent this has been the best seria beurre campaign in a while unfortunately though managed

1320
01:39:42,620 --> 01:39:46,940
to tune in as much as we would like obviously because we'd be watching seria but but the

1321
01:39:46,940 --> 01:39:54,140
playoffs are we're booked out for them 100 oh my god seria beurre playoff segment we do it we do it

1322
01:39:54,140 --> 01:40:01,900
so our next question comes from your boy ciasco ciasco what up this guy i i like him a lot as a

1323
01:40:01,900 --> 01:40:08,620
person but he's a roma fan in malta which is very rare and he's named after francesco totti

1324
01:40:08,620 --> 01:40:13,180
which is fair enough he's a guy named ciasco and he supports roma so that makes total sense

1325
01:40:13,180 --> 01:40:19,420
yeah fair enough shout out shout out so i feel sorry for you he says who disappointed you this

1326
01:40:19,420 --> 01:40:24,540
season and who performed you know who exceeded your expectations now actually we're talking about

1327
01:40:24,540 --> 01:40:33,260
teams players let's i i took the angle of players i did take the angle of players um i would start

1328
01:40:33,260 --> 01:40:40,220
off obviously with with a bit of bias i would say the players that exceeded my expectations

1329
01:40:40,220 --> 01:40:45,660
there are three in particular and they were all in a milan shirt four in particular actually and

1330
01:40:45,660 --> 01:40:52,300
they were all in a milan shirt okay so number one is magic mike manon 100 after losing donna

1331
01:40:52,300 --> 01:40:56,780
romana free who would have thought that this guy was gonna come in and just be the best goalkeeper

1332
01:40:56,780 --> 01:41:01,100
in the fucking world but he was so hyped at lil as well bro like you remember i was showing you

1333
01:41:01,100 --> 01:41:06,060
videos but we were watching videos and i remember saying this guy keeps the ball in play he spills

1334
01:41:06,060 --> 01:41:10,620
he spills a lot he leaves the ball in the attacker's path and he hasn't shown us an ounce of that and i

1335
01:41:10,620 --> 01:41:16,380
mean the fact that he is a quarterback for milan it's not only a goalkeeper he's a fucking quarterback

1336
01:41:16,380 --> 01:41:22,620
for milan the balls that he pings he is essential to this squad and he's proved his importance of

1337
01:41:22,620 --> 01:41:28,620
the bat i'd say the second one that has impressed me tremendously out of nowhere is pier calulo

1338
01:41:29,260 --> 01:41:36,220
losing here roman yoli of form gabias philly is going to sam doria and then he's not

1339
01:41:36,220 --> 01:41:40,780
but calulo stepped in and he's been one of the best centerbacks in the league this season

1340
01:41:41,340 --> 01:41:47,180
number three tonali one of the best center midfielders in the league it seemed like in

1341
01:41:47,180 --> 01:41:50,700
the beginning of the campaign i'm like all right tonali is looking confident he's just looked

1342
01:41:50,700 --> 01:41:55,820
confident throughout he hasn't dropped the ball there was slight criticism when he was being

1343
01:41:55,820 --> 01:42:01,980
overplayed but shut the fuck up like and he's literally been one of the best performers

1344
01:42:01,980 --> 01:42:10,460
overall this season and then leo was not expecting him to carry the way that he has been when it comes

1345
01:42:10,460 --> 01:42:15,900
to moving the ball forward which is where milan kind of lack he gets the ball into the box like

1346
01:42:15,900 --> 01:42:21,260
there's no tomorrow and he's provided spectacular moments i'm not surprised that he's had certain

1347
01:42:21,260 --> 01:42:27,100
dips in in form and concentration but i am surprised that his fucking runs of good form have lasted as

1348
01:42:27,100 --> 01:42:33,820
long as they have yeah bro i have to agree with you when it comes to milan calulo tonali and leo

1349
01:42:33,820 --> 01:42:39,500
all exceeded my expectations other notable mentions from the league i would say perisic has

1350
01:42:40,060 --> 01:42:44,860
i did not expect him to have such a good season so consistent over the board you know so he's a

1351
01:42:44,860 --> 01:42:49,580
fantastic player quite frankly tamir abraham tamir abraham exceeded my expectations i didn't think

1352
01:42:49,580 --> 01:42:58,540
he'd like get 20 goals you know what i mean um and also geovanni simione bro 100 percent as well as

1353
01:42:58,540 --> 01:43:07,420
um there was another one i had in mind as a as a manager david and nicola 100 exceeded my expectations

1354
01:43:07,420 --> 01:43:13,740
ah and pedro bro oh wow and pedro i didn't think pedro would do this well to be honest with you

1355
01:43:13,740 --> 01:43:19,500
but he but he's he's done fucking well very very well he really has and the players that have you

1356
01:43:19,500 --> 01:43:25,340
know disappointed disappointed us simi disappointed the fuck out of me i'd say yes i did nothing

1357
01:43:25,340 --> 01:43:32,300
really did i think i think it's a safe bet to say that in synia has had been a bit disappointing he

1358
01:43:32,300 --> 01:43:40,060
picked up funnily enough after his move to toronto was done he seemed to pick up slightly and he was

1359
01:43:40,060 --> 01:43:46,780
contributing but i think overall as a season and in synia struggled a little bit other players that

1360
01:43:46,780 --> 01:43:54,380
have kind of disappointed show more of show more of i expected way more from show more of what the

1361
01:43:54,380 --> 01:44:00,060
hell is this but that's that's probably us i think i think we had a high decent i general though you

1362
01:44:00,060 --> 01:44:04,380
know and he's the we were people even pundits they were saying that he's the perfect more in your

1363
01:44:04,380 --> 01:44:10,300
player you know he's tall he's technical he's quite quick he's a good finisher but he hasn't

1364
01:44:10,300 --> 01:44:18,620
shown that at all at roma fair enough fair enough um other players bakayoko 100 and there's a bunch

1365
01:44:18,620 --> 01:44:23,260
i could mention from milan but unfortunately didn't feature enough for me to call them

1366
01:44:23,260 --> 01:44:34,300
disappointing um i would also say that i would say that a couple of atalanta players have been

1367
01:44:34,300 --> 01:44:42,940
disappointing man and i will say that the the front two in muriel has been quite disappointing

1368
01:44:42,940 --> 01:44:48,300
obviously i'm not gonna blame illichich whatsoever for being out as long as he has but i would also

1369
01:44:48,300 --> 01:44:54,780
say that zapata he he was out for a long time this season and he came back he was rushed back

1370
01:44:54,780 --> 01:44:59,980
in and he was injured so no fault of his own but i can't help but be a bit disappointed fair enough

1371
01:44:59,980 --> 01:45:07,740
fair enough bugga also disappointed me it has to be said he he was a 20 million euro signing and

1372
01:45:07,740 --> 01:45:12,060
typically atalanta don't make big signings they make small signings and they explode so i thought

1373
01:45:12,060 --> 01:45:16,620
you know they get a 20 million he's gonna explode even harder no that's so that was not that was not

1374
01:45:16,620 --> 01:45:22,780
the case at all then again coupe miners pasalic definitely surprised me yes coupe miners

1375
01:45:22,780 --> 01:45:30,700
particularly yes 100 but yeah bro we could make an entire 11 out of out of both on on instagram

1376
01:45:30,700 --> 01:45:36,060
if you'd like so it'd be quite a fun exercise and zolot disappointing as well musabaro disappointing

1377
01:45:36,060 --> 01:45:43,020
as well there's so many man oh man and let me tell you what there is a shout for two of those goal

1378
01:45:43,020 --> 01:45:47,340
keepers hand down of itch and chesney but they both picked it up they both but one of them will

1379
01:45:47,340 --> 01:45:52,540
make it into it i won't say probably we'll we'll do something we'll take this to social media

1380
01:45:52,540 --> 01:45:58,300
somehow yeah good question good question very very good now our final question comes from

1381
01:45:59,020 --> 01:46:04,220
at rado inter on twitter thank you very much for your question i wish i could read your name but i

1382
01:46:04,220 --> 01:46:10,300
do not understand hey that looks pretty difficult yeah but thank you very much for tuning in if you

1383
01:46:10,300 --> 01:46:18,540
are he asks will the bala's possible move to inter affect on current milanese squad whose place

1384
01:46:18,540 --> 01:46:24,540
is under risk and will it have negative influence on the team now yes so the ball has been rumored

1385
01:46:24,540 --> 01:46:32,060
to be leaving eventus and going to inter apparently the martio did deny that anything has been agreed

1386
01:46:32,060 --> 01:46:36,860
but of course he's gonna do that because they're not gonna actually say yes it was made official

1387
01:46:36,860 --> 01:46:43,740
on gadzetta it was when and gadzetta aren't known for their for nailing transfers basically

1388
01:46:43,740 --> 01:46:49,340
it was picked up them by iftv and then like puberty sport posted and they credited iftv

1389
01:46:50,620 --> 01:46:57,020
and you know iftv don't normally break news but they rather relay so i found it a bit funny that

1390
01:46:57,020 --> 01:47:03,420
they put them that they credited them yeah as a new source yeah um but interesting definitely

1391
01:47:03,420 --> 01:47:07,500
interesting he'll he'll bring good spells and he'll bring bad spells to say the least i don't think

1392
01:47:07,500 --> 01:47:12,460
he'll disrupt the squad at all i think he'll bring actually a ton of quality and if you put

1393
01:47:12,460 --> 01:47:18,060
him up front with um you know you play him like in his palermo days as a striker literally as a

1394
01:47:18,060 --> 01:47:24,060
striker you get him in that rotation you offload sanchez me because his salary is high so you have

1395
01:47:24,060 --> 01:47:30,620
you know correa and zeko lautaro the balla yeah and and but i've been hearing that lautaro because

1396
01:47:30,620 --> 01:47:35,260
in terrap have these financial woes might be on his way he might be on his way out as well as

1397
01:47:35,260 --> 01:47:39,900
considering as well as down freeze considering that everything with a pinch of salt as always

1398
01:47:39,900 --> 01:47:45,580
and considering that they can make do with zeko and that they bring the best out of players like

1399
01:47:45,580 --> 01:47:50,940
zeko i could see it happening i could definitely see the balla starting up front as a secondary

1400
01:47:50,940 --> 01:47:57,820
striker alongside someone like zeko or maybe a new signing over there as well and now will it affect

1401
01:47:57,820 --> 01:48:05,260
them having players like chala noglu and debala both in the team that can both tend to be streaky

1402
01:48:05,980 --> 01:48:13,420
that that's where i would get a bit concerned for inter because they're adopting these players that

1403
01:48:13,420 --> 01:48:18,540
that you know have poor spells and then they have great spells but when they have these great spells

1404
01:48:18,540 --> 01:48:23,900
obviously phenomena but they're molded into a system that's effective more often than not

1405
01:48:23,900 --> 01:48:29,740
you know this 352 of nzagi the question is will they fit the system will they excel in the system

1406
01:48:30,780 --> 01:48:37,900
okay so on paper the balla no right in a 352 but no as an attacking midfielder as a striker it could

1407
01:48:37,900 --> 01:48:43,180
work it could work as a striker why not and granted if he's streaky you know you add depth man

1408
01:48:43,180 --> 01:48:47,420
that's it that's it and i like you look at inter at the start of the season when they still had

1409
01:48:47,420 --> 01:48:52,620
sensi on board you know they they could they had the like for like change for so many players in

1410
01:48:52,620 --> 01:48:56,620
that midfield now that's kind of gone in the midfield but you know their depth has always

1411
01:48:56,620 --> 01:49:01,020
been one of their strong points and i do feel like it will continue to be one of their strong

1412
01:49:01,020 --> 01:49:05,740
points with or without the balla yeah yep and i mean they're getting a versatile player as well

1413
01:49:05,740 --> 01:49:09,740
someone that can play out wide that can play attacking midfield like that can play in a

1414
01:49:09,740 --> 01:49:18,300
striker's role as well and i'm definitely slightly slightly jealous because the bala when he's on he

1415
01:49:18,300 --> 01:49:24,140
can be one of the greatest players in the league but then again i do anticipate that he will you

1416
01:49:24,140 --> 01:49:30,620
know be injured a lot yeah and that might cause the team to struggle especially if they don't have

1417
01:49:30,620 --> 01:49:36,700
a backup for him um but but yeah that's that's pretty much that's pretty much my take on under

1418
01:49:36,700 --> 01:49:42,460
the bala situation yes sir i i gave mine too i think we can pretty much conclude yeah i think

1419
01:49:42,460 --> 01:49:46,780
we can call this a day it's quarter past one in the morning guys we have work tomorrow we have
