00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:13,500
leakge

2
00:00:13,500 --> 00:00:21,000
this!

3
00:00:21,000 --> 00:00:30,000
X gool was scored by interlegend Javier Zanetti in an all Italian UEFA Cup final 3-0 victory over Lazio back in 1998.

4
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:35,000
Quite a mouthful for you. Quite a few adjectives, right? Quite a few.

5
00:00:35,000 --> 00:00:42,000
I'd like to thank a follower of ours on TikTok at unfunnyguy underscore 17.

6
00:00:42,000 --> 00:00:48,000
We think you're funny bro, we think you're cultured as well so please don't go around bringing your ego down like that.

7
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:51,000
Thank you for listening to the full Cannavara one, we appreciate it.

8
00:00:51,000 --> 00:00:58,000
What a legend, what a legend. They come in small doses but they truly are loyal and they truly are the best.

9
00:00:58,000 --> 00:01:03,000
So you engage with us guys and we'll deliver. Thank you very much for recommending this intro for us.

10
00:01:03,000 --> 00:01:05,000
So what did you make of Zanetti bro?

11
00:01:05,000 --> 00:01:16,000
I think apart from him being, firstly what I like about Zanetti is that he seemed from his structure and from his play style, he seemed almost clumsy.

12
00:01:16,000 --> 00:01:23,000
It was like at any second it looked like he was going to fall over when he was running on the ball but he never did.

13
00:01:23,000 --> 00:01:31,000
He was always ever so elegant and graceful. His touch on the ball was fantastic, it was always very effective, he was versatile.

14
00:01:31,000 --> 00:01:37,000
We saw him play in defensive midfield, we saw him play at left back, we saw him play at right back and his professionalism.

15
00:01:37,000 --> 00:01:43,000
Definitely 100% his professionalism is what there is to write home about Javier Zanetti.

16
00:01:43,000 --> 00:01:51,000
He spent until he was 41 years old playing in the top flight and he never had a single ounce of controversy in his career, never.

17
00:01:51,000 --> 00:01:52,000
Absolutely not.

18
00:01:52,000 --> 00:01:57,000
And that's when he was living in Milan. Milan loved a good controversial news story.

19
00:01:57,000 --> 00:02:02,000
You have La Gazetta dello sport with all those journalists sniffing around and they never found anything on him.

20
00:02:02,000 --> 00:02:06,000
It's always been quiet, well mannered, modest, a perfect example.

21
00:02:06,000 --> 00:02:16,000
Not a single thing wrong about Zanetti. There was one instance where he was frustrated with a substitution back when Roy Hodgson was the coach for Inter.

22
00:02:16,000 --> 00:02:23,000
It seemed as though when Zanetti was coming off he seemed to have a bit of an attitude about him, he was flailing his arms and he disagreed with the decision.

23
00:02:23,000 --> 00:02:26,000
But he ended up embracing Hodgson at the end of it.

24
00:02:26,000 --> 00:02:31,000
And shaking the player's hand who was coming on to replace him. A great example overall.

25
00:02:31,000 --> 00:02:37,000
Obviously everyone gets moods and everyone has their opinions but it's about being a professional at the end of the day and Zanetti was always that.

26
00:02:37,000 --> 00:02:44,000
And that probably came due to his humble beginnings bro. He was born to a bricklayer and a cleaner.

27
00:02:44,000 --> 00:02:48,000
Definitely where he was taught to be modest and hardworking.

28
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:56,000
Yeah for sure. And even when he was training to become a professional footballer he was also helping his dad out laying bricks.

29
00:02:56,000 --> 00:03:02,000
He said that he enjoyed it, himself he enjoyed building a house.

30
00:03:02,000 --> 00:03:07,000
He said, I liked my father's work but above all I liked the idea of doing something concrete and useful.

31
00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:14,000
Building a house is a metaphor that I like. It's at the core of my life philosophy starting from the bottom and reaching the top.

32
00:03:14,000 --> 00:03:20,000
So this guy used to wake up at 4am, he used to deliver milk and he took great pleasure in it.

33
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:25,000
And then he used to train football and he used to help his father as a bricklayer and he made it to where he is today.

34
00:03:25,000 --> 00:03:33,000
Yeah and that's because he would continue training right after all that hard work with his studies, with his actual trying to help the family out financially.

35
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:42,000
He also had trials when he was 16 years old with one of the big five teams in Argentina, club atletico independiente.

36
00:03:42,000 --> 00:03:49,000
However after a matter of weeks the coaches actually dismissed him for being too slight and too weak.

37
00:03:49,000 --> 00:03:57,000
They seem to have great opinions on football but that is probably where he developed such great physicality on the ball.

38
00:03:57,000 --> 00:04:03,000
Because the man used to literally jostle four players off the ball throughout his career.

39
00:04:03,000 --> 00:04:11,000
So that's probably, I mean you can't hate these guys for telling him that when probably as a result of that he's developed into such a fantastic player.

40
00:04:11,000 --> 00:04:14,000
He had a point to prove right?

41
00:04:14,000 --> 00:04:22,000
Exactly, after that obviously he knuckled down on his training, he even finished his studies and he completed his education.

42
00:04:22,000 --> 00:04:31,000
And then at 18 finally he had a call up, he signed his first professional contract with club atletico taleres.

43
00:04:31,000 --> 00:04:36,000
In the second division he played 33 games there and he scored a single goal.

44
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:43,000
At 18 years old you're playing in the second division in Argentina, few people would think that you'll make it to the very top.

45
00:04:43,000 --> 00:04:50,000
And it would be a safe assumption to say that this person won't be a world beater.

46
00:04:50,000 --> 00:04:57,000
Exactly, it was then a year later where he was signed by Banfield in the top decision.

47
00:04:57,000 --> 00:05:02,000
Those do sound like an English club but they are not, they are an Argentine club.

48
00:05:02,000 --> 00:05:06,000
He played 66 professional games there and he scored four goals.

49
00:05:06,000 --> 00:05:11,000
This was between 1993 and 1995 so he was 21 years old at that time.

50
00:05:11,000 --> 00:05:19,000
Clock is ticking and actually within his spell over here that's where he earned his nickname El Tractor.

51
00:05:19,000 --> 00:05:21,000
You can guess what that means.

52
00:05:21,000 --> 00:05:23,000
If you're smart.

53
00:05:23,000 --> 00:05:33,000
That's obviously for his stamina and his positively relentless attitude so we're already starting to see Zanetti take shape as a player over here.

54
00:05:33,000 --> 00:05:41,000
In fact it was at this moment in his career where he entered the limelight he made his international professional debut

55
00:05:41,000 --> 00:05:50,000
with Argentina in a friendly match against Chile and then he actually went on to feature in professional knockout games for them as well and group stage games too.

56
00:05:50,000 --> 00:05:53,000
And that's when Inter first noticed him bro.

57
00:05:53,000 --> 00:06:07,000
Yep, it was Massimo Moratti in the summer of 1995 so for those of you who live under a rock and don't know who Moratti is, he was an Italian petroleum tycoon turned football club president.

58
00:06:07,000 --> 00:06:19,000
He assumed control of Inter in 1995 and over the course of 16 years he's rumoured to have spent 1.5 billion of his personal fortune on football superstars.

59
00:06:19,000 --> 00:06:34,000
These obviously included Zlatan Ibrahimovic, Wesley Snyder, Louis Figo, Patrick Vieira, Samuel Eto, Christian Vieri, Zamorano, Crespo, the Brazilian Ronaldo, Roberto Carlos, Adriano, Maicon.

60
00:06:34,000 --> 00:06:39,000
And all these guys were signed in their prime bro, that's the craziest thing about it.

61
00:06:39,000 --> 00:06:41,000
There you go.

62
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:45,000
But then there was of course the first signing that he oversaw.

63
00:06:45,000 --> 00:06:55,000
It was actually a double signing, the signings of Javier Zanetti and Sebastian Rambert, whichever you prefer.

64
00:06:55,000 --> 00:07:01,000
These were the smaller signings of course, none of the superstar signings that Matthew mentioned earlier.

65
00:07:01,000 --> 00:07:05,000
But this would prove to be the most important out of the lot.

66
00:07:05,000 --> 00:07:11,000
He bought a player, Javier Zanetti, a legend of the club, retired shirt number, one it all with them, captain's arm and everything.

67
00:07:11,000 --> 00:07:12,000
Of course man.

68
00:07:12,000 --> 00:07:18,000
Rambert on the other hand was sold to Real Zaragoza in 1996 after failing to make a single appearance.

69
00:07:18,000 --> 00:07:23,000
Just a year later man, not playing a single game and leaving a year later.

70
00:07:23,000 --> 00:07:25,000
Dr. Jekyll and Mr. Heidol.

71
00:07:25,000 --> 00:07:34,000
Exactly, with all those superstars it must have been so intimidating for Zanetti actually to enter that dressing room at 21, 22 years old and do what he did.

72
00:07:34,000 --> 00:07:45,000
And in fact he went on to spend 19 years at Inter, he broke the record for the most appearances which still stands today at 858 in all competitions.

73
00:07:45,000 --> 00:07:50,000
In Serie A he has 618 appearances and that is the third most in the league.

74
00:07:50,000 --> 00:07:59,000
It's behind Buffon with 658, Maldini with 648 and he's also tied with Francesco Totti.

75
00:07:59,000 --> 00:08:02,000
So up there with the elites, Man Zanetti.

76
00:08:02,000 --> 00:08:10,000
Yeah, he's won the Serie A five times between 2005 and 2010 with Inter, the Coppa Italia four times during that spell too,

77
00:08:10,000 --> 00:08:15,000
the Supercoppa Italiano four times, the Champions League once in the treble winning season of Mourinho,

78
00:08:15,000 --> 00:08:21,000
the UEFA Cup once in 1997-1998 and the FIFA Club World Cup in 2010.

79
00:08:21,000 --> 00:08:30,000
Also in Mourinho's treble winning side Zanetti was the player who featured the most times, the most appearances and he even lifted each of the three trophies.

80
00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:38,000
That's insane, it's actually insane and it's funny that you mention him in the Champions League because at 37 years old

81
00:08:38,000 --> 00:08:47,000
he had scored the opener in a match against Spurs when there was that Gareth Bale-Hattrick and Inter had won 4-3 at the Giuseppe Meadza

82
00:08:47,000 --> 00:08:55,000
and at the time he had become the oldest player in Champions League history to score in the Champions League naturally.

83
00:08:55,000 --> 00:09:01,000
All of the tabloids were talking about Bale-Hattrick, Bale-Hattrick but they failed to pick up on this and I remember that

84
00:09:01,000 --> 00:09:05,000
because we were in a train station in Milan when that was going on.

85
00:09:05,000 --> 00:09:07,000
On those fantastic televisions, no?

86
00:09:07,000 --> 00:09:10,000
Yeah, on those pixelated pieces of shit.

87
00:09:10,000 --> 00:09:14,000
Zanetti got two red cards throughout his entire career.

88
00:09:14,000 --> 00:09:18,000
The first one was in 1999 and then won in 2011.

89
00:09:18,000 --> 00:09:20,000
Jesus, twelve years apart.

90
00:09:20,000 --> 00:09:25,000
A defensive player typically gets more than is expected quite frankly to get more.

91
00:09:25,000 --> 00:09:29,000
That just goes to show how good he was and how good his judgement was.

92
00:09:29,000 --> 00:09:34,000
Typically you have to make a foul when you're positioned poorly to compensate for your lack of words.

93
00:09:34,000 --> 00:09:37,000
But he always had that mature playstyle about him.

94
00:09:37,000 --> 00:09:43,000
We normally talk about strikers being in the right place at the right time but Zanetti was always at the right place at the right time

95
00:09:43,000 --> 00:09:45,000
and it didn't result in him scoring many goals.

96
00:09:45,000 --> 00:09:50,000
In fact he has around twelve goals in Serie A for Inter.

97
00:09:50,000 --> 00:09:56,000
However, two red cards is just absolutely insane.

98
00:09:56,000 --> 00:09:58,000
Constantly positioned in the right place.

99
00:09:58,000 --> 00:10:01,000
He was always the last man when they needed him to be the last man.

100
00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,000
He was always putting pressure forward when he needed to be putting pressure forward.

101
00:10:05,000 --> 00:10:09,000
However, he did have a weird career with Argentina.

102
00:10:09,000 --> 00:10:17,000
Yes bro, he was quite unlucky to be honest because he was victim to some very poor decisions.

103
00:10:17,000 --> 00:10:23,000
The first one of course in 2006 with Javier Zanetti quite frankly in his prime.

104
00:10:23,000 --> 00:10:33,000
Jose Pecerman, the coach of Argentina decided to not call up Zanetti to the World Cup despite playing every single group match game.

105
00:10:33,000 --> 00:10:42,000
It's insane how he wasn't called up because he must have been the best defensive midfielder that Argentina had at the time.

106
00:10:42,000 --> 00:10:45,000
I don't even think it's a debate.

107
00:10:45,000 --> 00:10:52,000
What a miss for Argentina and obviously subsequently they didn't do too well in that World Cup either.

108
00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:59,000
Then another bizarre one came in 2010 when a seemingly manic Diego Maradona was at the helm.

109
00:10:59,000 --> 00:11:09,000
He decided to drop Zanetti replacing him with Juanas Gutiárez who was playing with Neil Basel in the championship at the time.

110
00:11:09,000 --> 00:11:11,000
Spider-Man, Spider-Man.

111
00:11:11,000 --> 00:11:14,000
And Mascarano took the captain's armband.

112
00:11:14,000 --> 00:11:24,000
Now that Argentina side was notorious for being totally unprofessional.

113
00:11:24,000 --> 00:11:26,000
They were totally unprofessional.

114
00:11:26,000 --> 00:11:31,000
It was a mess over there. There was no gamesmanship. There was no professionalism there at all.

115
00:11:31,000 --> 00:11:34,000
And in fact they could have really used Zanetti.

116
00:11:34,000 --> 00:11:37,000
He had just won the treble within there. You're not going to leave him out.

117
00:11:37,000 --> 00:11:42,000
The man should have been there and he should have been captaining Argentina and he would have set a good example.

118
00:11:42,000 --> 00:11:50,000
Obviously they had a legend in Maradona as their manager but we all know that in his later years and not only in his later years but even his later years.

119
00:11:50,000 --> 00:11:52,000
Admittedly during his playing years too.

120
00:11:52,000 --> 00:12:03,000
Exactly. He wasn't in the best state of mind maybe to be carrying out such a role and I don't think his CV or his coaching skills proved that he should be the coach of Argentina.

121
00:12:03,000 --> 00:12:06,000
And a player like Zanetti obviously suffered because of that.

122
00:12:06,000 --> 00:12:12,000
Could it be that maybe there's a bit of Napoli bias but he did call up Cambiasso to be honest?

123
00:12:12,000 --> 00:12:14,000
He didn't call up Cambiasso.

124
00:12:14,000 --> 00:12:15,000
Oh he didn't call up Cambiasso?

125
00:12:15,000 --> 00:12:16,000
He didn't include him in the squad.

126
00:12:16,000 --> 00:12:17,000
Oh my god.

127
00:12:17,000 --> 00:12:24,000
So you might be right maybe he was just flexing to the Napolitan fans showing his loyalty. That could have been the case.

128
00:12:24,000 --> 00:12:28,000
And letting down an entire country while he was at it.

129
00:12:28,000 --> 00:12:40,000
To wrap this up Zanetti retired from professional football in 2014 at 41 years of age and was appointed as vice president by Erik Tohir, a role that he still fills.

130
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:47,000
A role that thankfully he doesn't still fill is featuring on the Indonesian Idol back in 2012.

131
00:12:47,000 --> 00:13:04,000
Pertirtelo ancora, pertirteket, piun bella cosa non c'e, piun bella cosa di te, unica come sei.

132
00:13:04,000 --> 00:13:10,000
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Serie A Spotlight, we are your hosts Matt and Jake.

133
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:13,000
It's episode 38.

134
00:13:13,000 --> 00:13:14,000
38, yes.

135
00:13:14,000 --> 00:13:16,000
That's as many matches as there are in a season.

136
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:20,000
So we're spoiling you, we're giving you more than there are match days this season.

137
00:13:20,000 --> 00:13:31,000
Exactly. As always guys don't forget to follow us on Instagram, TikTok and Twitter where we post some updates, we post some cool clips and we also post our prediction series.

138
00:13:31,000 --> 00:13:44,000
A prediction series that brother has led to yet another victory for me. It was an outstanding 13 to 4. I got 3 exact scores, you got none.

139
00:13:44,000 --> 00:13:46,000
Yes, that is correct.

140
00:13:46,000 --> 00:13:52,000
And we are now tied at 10-10 in the championship. So if you thought Serie A was close you should check out the prediction series.

141
00:13:52,000 --> 00:14:04,000
We were talking about what should happen if it ends in a draw. We do a best out of three, or no just one FIFA game. One FIFA game and we'll post it.

142
00:14:04,000 --> 00:14:19,000
I'm in for that. So check out our YouTube in the near future as well. And alongside that guys don't forget to rate us on Spotify, Apple Podcasts or Google Play wherever the fuck you're listening.

143
00:14:19,000 --> 00:14:24,000
So another crazy week, brother, what did you make of this week of football?

144
00:14:24,000 --> 00:14:35,000
A mundane weekend was upon us bro. A weekend with no plans. We got on the sofa, we flicked on the TV and Serie A was like...

145
00:14:35,000 --> 00:15:03,000
Well what can I say bro? Hell is gone and heaven's here. There's nothing left for you to fear. Shake your ass, come over here. Tonali. Bioli. Onri as well.

146
00:15:03,000 --> 00:15:11,000
Nzaghi. Shake your ass and stay the fuck there. We're talking nzaghi.

147
00:15:11,000 --> 00:15:25,000
But as Robbie Williams pointed out this was a crazy week of football. We were highly entertained sitting on the sofa. It stemmed on to Monday as it has been recently with that Fiorentina Roma thriller of a match and unexpected result over there.

148
00:15:25,000 --> 00:15:30,000
But we are going to read the results to you to make sure that you don't miss any details whatsoever.

149
00:15:30,000 --> 00:15:33,000
The beatboxing has died. That will not be happening anymore.

150
00:15:33,000 --> 00:15:42,000
I think Twice was already stretching it so fuck it. I'm just going to do my best to read them out as well as I can to you guys.

151
00:15:42,000 --> 00:16:05,000
So it was Verona 1-0 Milan 3 as Milan stay at the top of the table. Inter did need to come from behind against Empoli winning 4-2 after going 2-0 down in the first half. Napoli edged Torino away from home in a 1-0 victory. Juve suffered defeat in the most dramatic of fashion with a 2-1 away loss to Genoa with a 96th minute Christiano penalty making amends with the supporters over there.

152
00:16:05,000 --> 00:16:17,000
Lazio got past Sampdoria in easy fashion some might say with a 2-0 victory. Fiorentina got past Roma 2-0 as well. Atalanta went to Spezia and came away with a 3-1 victory.

153
00:16:17,000 --> 00:16:30,000
Odineze were held 1-1 by Sassuolo away from home at the mape. It was probably the most glistening match of football played last weekend was Venezia 4-3.

154
00:16:30,000 --> 00:16:40,000
I doubt Venezia have even scored 4 in their last 10 matches. Salernitana won, Calieri won with the latest goal in Serie A history in the 99th minute.

155
00:16:40,000 --> 00:17:00,000
He beat Petania's record I believe. He did beat Petania and this time it was to get me correct score. Last time Petania got you correct score. Oh the turntables. Oh the turntables. So anyway bro I think we should kick this off right? Yeah we've been yapping for a while. And these intros are just getting longer and longer.

156
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:18,000
I think we're going to have half the episode an intro. So the first game we're going to be discussing is Verona 1-Milan 3. Siam venuti fiqua, siam venuti fiqua, per vedere senjare caca.

157
00:17:18,000 --> 00:17:40,000
The previous encounter was Milan 3-Verona 2. Verona actually took a 2-0 lead that game so it's always a difficult task against Verona for Milan. But it was a Samo Castieho masterclass at the time. Castieho and Krunic? I remember Castieho coming on forcing an own goal, a spectacular own goal and even assisted if I'm not mistaken.

158
00:17:40,000 --> 00:17:55,000
Yes, no it was just the last one he forced an own goal I believe. But he played really well. He pressed really well. Milan were coming off their 1-0 home victory against Fiorentina while Verona were coming off a 2-1 victory in Sardinia against Caliari of course.

159
00:17:55,000 --> 00:18:14,000
This is the 60th match between Verona and Milan, 10 wins for Verona, their last one coming back in December 2017 in a 3-0 home win. 21 draws and 28 wins for Milan. Now Milan fans were obviously scared coming into this game and will be relieved by the performance to be honest with you.

160
00:18:14,000 --> 00:18:26,000
Milan have had a league title snatched away on two separate occasions at the Bente Gordi against Verona in 1973 and in 1990 thus Verona being dubbed La Fatale Verona.

161
00:18:26,000 --> 00:18:45,000
Verona stopped Gattuso's Napoli from getting Champions League last season as well so they are a team that enjoy a good upset. They're a team that fucks bro. So in the 16th minute Tonali managed to tap the ball in but the celebrations were halted as he had been in an offside position.

162
00:18:45,000 --> 00:19:08,000
Happy birthday to you, happy birthday to you, happy birthday to Sandro, happy birthday to you. Hopefully now he'll lose his baby teeth.

163
00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:19,000
What's with birthday boys scoring braces? Like even Bonucci on his birthday score the brace.

164
00:19:19,000 --> 00:19:39,000
Italy is weird. Italy is weird with these things. It's romantic, right? It's so romantic. It's just incredible. I guess people are more inspired on their birthdays. In the 48th minute it all went tits up for Milan as Faroni managed to score a goal.

165
00:19:39,000 --> 00:19:54,000
He was able to pivot out of the game completely. Lazović got the better of Calabria and not the first time in this game and was played through on the left. He whipped in across to Faroni at the far post whose only opponent was a tracking back Kronish quite frankly.

166
00:19:54,000 --> 00:20:04,000
Milan were caught off guard, Theo was nowhere in sight, Kessie was not filling in the hole and Calulo was also oddly positioned. There was a lack of concentration, a lapse in concentration for Milan if you will.

167
00:20:04,000 --> 00:20:13,000
A lapse in concentration but also a fantastic piece of play by Verona. They managed to catch Milan off guard and they managed to leave Milan flat footed quite frankly.

168
00:20:13,000 --> 00:20:27,000
And unfortunately for Milan towards the end of the first half in added time, Leo received the ball by the sideline and just effortily glided past Cesale like so effortlessly, completely destroyed.

169
00:20:27,000 --> 00:20:35,000
Slowed down, sped up. And it never looks like Leo hits full speed eh. He is just running at a comfortable pace with a smile on his face.

170
00:20:35,000 --> 00:20:48,000
Yeah, he glides. He does glide and he glides way faster than anyone else. This time Leo squared the ball. We've seen him taking a few shots recently quite frustrating but today he seemed very mature Leo.

171
00:20:48,000 --> 00:20:57,000
He squared it to Tanali who managed to finish while he was falling over and this time it stands so that's the best time to score a goal towards the end of the first half.

172
00:20:57,000 --> 00:21:05,000
Milan went into half time inspired and they came out inspired as well because in the 49th minute the exact same move occurred.

173
00:21:05,000 --> 00:21:11,000
Salah Makars played the ball through to Leo who received it at the half way line. Once again he started gliding his way to the opposing area.

174
00:21:11,000 --> 00:21:18,000
Bro, it seemed like he took like, it looked like he took four touches and he was in the box. It's true. His long strides man. His long strides.

175
00:21:18,000 --> 00:21:28,000
Then he stops and he waits and then he accelerates again and so it's bursts of pace. He destroyed Barak. Barak was left eating dust. He squared it past Montepo and once again to Tanali who tapped it in.

176
00:21:28,000 --> 00:21:35,000
Tanali upon scoring this goal said that he felt what it means to be a Milanista when he scored that goal. Yes, fucking right, fucking right.

177
00:21:35,000 --> 00:21:49,000
I have to give props to Salah Makars for this goal. He waited and waited until Leo made his way into his path. He could've easily played it down the right and perhaps that wouldn't have been that fruitful but he waited for the right time. He took it. That is the pre-assist assist.

178
00:21:49,000 --> 00:22:00,000
Honestly the wingers looked very mature this game and then you pop Kronich in that attacking midfield role. He looked mature too. We didn't have any of that nonsense that is often seen.

179
00:22:00,000 --> 00:22:14,000
In the 86th minute, Florenzi got one just 1 minute and 59 seconds after entering the fray. Quick 1-2 with Messias and a venomous strike into the bottom corner. The fastest goal by a substitute for Milan this season.

180
00:22:14,000 --> 00:22:35,000
Crazy. I fucking love Florenzi so much. He just doesn't appear for a while and then he comes on and he does that. He's dangerous coming down the right. At the moment I could say that in the second half of the season I somewhat do prefer, I do kind of feel safer having him than Calabria at times.

181
00:22:35,000 --> 00:22:51,000
Calabria has been very shaky lately. It seems like Lazovic just beat him every time they were 1-1. It seems like what normally makes Calabria a great player isn't there at the moment. It will take him time to overcome.

182
00:22:51,000 --> 00:23:03,000
Obviously he's had quite a few injuries. That halt-go, halt-go can't be easy for him. But it doesn't mean he's a bad player, it just means that Florenzi has been super this season.

183
00:23:03,000 --> 00:23:09,000
Calabria, while we're on the topic, we might as well discuss this, was rumoured to be on Real Madrid's wishlist.

184
00:23:09,000 --> 00:23:18,000
30 million. Well you're never going to make 30 million from him ever. That's straight capital gains. It is. He's a youth player.

185
00:23:18,000 --> 00:23:28,000
But no, like. But no is my answer. We don't need to sell Calabria. Keep Calabria forever.

186
00:23:28,000 --> 00:23:41,000
If you had to ask me, I might share the same sentiment. Of course from a business point of view 30 million is irrefutable for Calabria. You have to be dumb. Objectively you have to be dumb to not sell Calabria for 30 million if that offer does arrive.

187
00:23:41,000 --> 00:23:54,000
But he embodies everything that Milan's about. He understands what it's like. He's the longest serving player. He came up with the youth system. He's been there through the toughest part. He grew up watching the fucking best Milan side ever.

188
00:23:54,000 --> 00:24:11,000
100%. And I mean the man deserves another season. Milan are now hitting certain heights. I think he needs another full season with the best Milan side possible to see if he is worthy of living up to that level.

189
00:24:11,000 --> 00:24:20,000
He knows the team more than anyone. He knows the club more than anyone. It would just be great to have a long servant in the club like Calabria is.

190
00:24:20,000 --> 00:24:35,000
And quite frankly there's going to be Kalulu fighting for that spot too. Especially if Bothman signs. I see Kalulu starting down the right. I don't see any way Kalulu or Bothman get benched next year particularly Kalulu when he's having the performances he's having.

191
00:24:35,000 --> 00:24:44,000
And we've seen him down the right which is his natural position to be fair. And he can whip in a deity. He has the pace. He has the strength and he could definitely fill the role at right back man.

192
00:24:44,000 --> 00:25:02,000
For sure. So as we mentioned before Tonali Bro coming in clutch on his birthday. Prior to San Drino's brace of course the last player to score for Milan on his birthday was Stefan El-Sharawi against Genoa back in 2012. How's that for us?

193
00:25:02,000 --> 00:25:17,000
Happy. For some reason I think I remember that man. We were definitely watching it. 100%. But yeah like we said the league is kind of weird when it comes to gifting players on their birthdays.

194
00:25:17,000 --> 00:25:25,000
For sure it's the whole romantic thing. Bro what do you think of Milan's press? Milan's press is a secret weapon isn't it? It's the reason Milan are winning games right?

195
00:25:25,000 --> 00:25:38,000
It's the strategic pressing. It's not just like you know Milan play with a high defensive line and they have two defensive midfielders that are constantly putting pressure on. We're seeing Kalulu for example manmarking Kaprari.

196
00:25:38,000 --> 00:25:52,000
Oh that was brilliant. That actually led to the second goal. So it's a strategic press and that is something I adore about Piolli. It's the classic Milan Atalanta.

197
00:25:52,000 --> 00:26:00,000
Well Atalanta Milan rather in the first half of the season where players were shifting positions when pressing to kind of confuse. To beat the man to man marking.

198
00:26:00,000 --> 00:26:12,000
Exactly. So it's the strategic pressing. It's no Gaggen press of any sorts but it's the Piolli press. It's up there. The Piolli press I love that. We saw Rebic in the last two games forcing errors that led to match winning goals.

199
00:26:12,000 --> 00:26:26,000
He's a fucking good guy to bring on man. To maintain a result and to get a result as well. He's fantastic. And it brings a tear to my eye when I remember that Milan recently had Suso on the right, Kshalanoglu on the left and Higuain up front.

200
00:26:26,000 --> 00:26:34,000
My god you remember Kshalanoglu playing on the wing? That was so weird man. Who was down the middle? Who did you say was down the middle? Higuain.

201
00:26:34,000 --> 00:26:50,000
I mean of course three good players overall but for the press, tragic. Yeah but it's a bit of a random kind of front three. It's not like they didn't mould together well. It was three individuals to say the least.

202
00:26:50,000 --> 00:27:18,000
And I remember Milan fans saying like imagine Suso feeding Higuain it's gonna be crazy. The only thing he fed them was off the picture the burgers. Both of them towards the end of their Christmas. Remember what was it the thing that everyone spammed Higuain on social media with? Be ready. Or Bredi. What was it? Was it burger? No, Be ready the Nutella biscuits. Oh my god how funny. Because they had a dressing room picture holding a packet of Be Ready.

203
00:27:18,000 --> 00:27:32,000
A fun fact is the Be Readys were officially launched in Malta for Maltese people to try them see if they worked and then they launched them worldwide. Obviously they sent them to the most obese country in Europe and obviously that went down quite well and they made a name for themselves.

204
00:27:32,000 --> 00:27:44,000
So there's been a lot of talk bro about Milan's MVP this season. I don't want to spend too long talking about this because I think every podcast has discussed it. Basically the debate was between Leao and Manián. Who do you think?

205
00:27:44,000 --> 00:28:04,000
I would say this is obviously there's no right answer. There could even be a shout for Tonali and there could even be a shout for Tomori. In fact I'm leaning a lot towards Tomori. I would say when it comes to a massive improvement obviously Leao and then when it comes to bringing someone in the pre-hooks.

206
00:28:04,000 --> 00:28:09,000
Strictly MVP this season. No improvement, no age, no how they were last season. Mike Manián. Mike Manián?

207
00:28:09,000 --> 00:28:35,000
Mike Manián I would say so. And it's shit that I have to say Manián because obviously Leao has been insane. He's been incredible this season. But I would say Manián for the overall effect he's had on Milan that is not just his goalkeeping skills. The fact that he is essentially a quarter back for Milan and he's brought that to Milan's arsenal to just make Milan a more dangerous team.

208
00:28:35,000 --> 00:28:53,000
You know I'd have to agree with you. Originally this debate I thought that you replace Leao. You're not going to create as many opportunities out of nothing as Milan have this season. But then you look at the games of Milan 1-1-0. You have Mike Manián had like one incredible save in each of those games.

209
00:28:53,000 --> 00:29:16,000
I would have to agree with you that it's Mike Manián. But someone who's going under the radar when it comes to MVP this season is the man who actually gave Milan the lead in the direct encounter against the rivals. I mean Giroud had that stretch. He was massive. I don't think there was another player that could've done what he did in those games. He stepped up when Milan hadn't been performing at all. And he really made the most out of nothing.

210
00:29:16,000 --> 00:29:39,000
To this day that 2-1 victory against Inter with the Giroud do Pieta is the biggest win for Milan this league. And it is what has essentially put Milan this position. I know you can narrow that to any three points that we're again. But the fact that we've got a direct encounter victory over Inter and a full three points and the momentum that Milan carried after that win was monumental.

211
00:29:39,000 --> 00:30:05,000
For sure man. Verona wanted to get something out of this game bro obviously. Despite their European ambitions right now being quite slim their chances. Tudor looked hype man. Tudor looked so hype when they took the lead. He looked ecstatic running off in celebration pointing his finger. It was like he scored. It's like relax butch. Shut the fuck down. They ran the first half.

212
00:30:05,000 --> 00:30:13,000
No disuspected Tudor. He's a fantastic manager. He's got a bit of a mouth on him. But sit the fuck down bro.

213
00:30:13,000 --> 00:30:36,000
What a team Verona are though man. I think out of the touchwood and everything out of the last three games that Milan have. A way to Verona is at the Bente Gordi probably the toughest. One of the toughest fixtures if we're talking about current form and everything. If we're talking about current form definitely the toughest fixture left and the fact that Milan managed to put three past that Verona side is crazy man. Crazy.

214
00:30:36,000 --> 00:30:44,000
It was form wise the toughest remaining game but I can't help but feel the pressures is going to keep piling and I wonder how the players will handle it.

215
00:30:44,000 --> 00:31:13,000
Shout out to Monty Po for Verona. He did get three put past him but three goals he could have done. Essentially nothing about. Another couple of fine saves by him. He is molding to be a fantastic goalkeeper which obviously hopefully for Verona will be a long servant over there and he'll keep on improving. Yes bro and I really hope they can hold on to this group of players because they really have something nice going on there. Before we move on from this because we often find ourselves spending too long talking about the big games. A company called Redbird.

216
00:31:13,000 --> 00:31:23,000
They're set to be battling it out with Invest Corp to buy Milan bro so these guys are based in America of course the other ones are based in Bahrain so we'll see what happens over there.

217
00:31:23,000 --> 00:31:52,000
Exactly. We'll see if we'll be wearing turbans or we'll be eating hot dogs. It'll be either or. But apparently Redbird seem to have the upper hand at the moment. Yeah that's what I heard. But I think right now we're not going to know exactly what's going on. It's not going to be made official until the end of the season for obvious reasons. Right now Milan are in a Scudetto race. There's no need for any distractions.

218
00:31:52,000 --> 00:32:17,000
For sure. Milan are currently first with 80 points. My god. While Verona are 9th with 52 points. Obviously two massive games remaining. We're actually going to be up there next week and hopefully we'll get some vlogging done for you guys. You could follow that on Instagram. Excited as ever and let's see what happens.

219
00:32:17,000 --> 00:32:34,000
Now the rivals on the other hand Inter beating Empoli at home the score of 4-2. So the previous encounter there are actually two of them this season. There was in the Serie A where Inter won 2-0 away from home and there was also in the Cup where Inter won 3-2 at home as well.

220
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:53,000
So Inter were coming off a 2-1 away win against Odinese following their loss to Bologna so bouncing back nicely over there. Empoli on the other hand coming off a 3-1 home loss to Torino. So Inter are unbeaten in their last 14 Serie A meetings with Empoli winning their last nine averaging two goals per game.

221
00:32:53,000 --> 00:33:11,000
But it was a shock for Inter as Empoli took the lead in the fifth minute through a Pina Monti goal. There was a low cross by Zurkowski which was perfectly placed between Devri and Skriniar and executed perfectly by an outstretched Pina Monti who refused to celebrate upon scoring against his parent club.

222
00:33:11,000 --> 00:33:26,000
There was then a goal cancelled out for Empoli I believe it was Zurkowski who was in an offside position, correct me if I'm wrong, but the goal didn't stand but then in the 23rd minute there was another VAR called or a couple of these in this game guys.

223
00:33:26,000 --> 00:33:55,000
It was no penalty for Inter contrary to the referee's original opinion Parisi's tackle on Barella was a perfect one and it was in fact a great tackle. The commentator got so pissed off when the referee pointed he was like that was a good tackle same to me. Beautiful tackle man it was a beautiful tackle I could see why because the referee was positioned behind the player so he saw the ball flying but at the end of the day it could have flown off the interplayers legs but it was in fact a perfect tackle.

224
00:33:55,000 --> 00:34:18,000
Nothing wrong with that. In the 28th minute Empoli made it 2-0 after Fiamozzi launched the ball over the top to Aslani. Aslani controlled it perfectly and finished it below Handanovic it was his first goal in senior football. 28th minute Empoli 2-0 up I even put a bet on Empoli win or draw myself at that point.

225
00:34:18,000 --> 00:34:22,000
You know that's why Inter didn't lose this game because of your bet?

226
00:34:22,000 --> 00:34:51,000
I know man sometimes I think of that but you know. I've stopped betting entirely I've cut it out of my life completely. Really? Yes I lost the house my children. I won a 95 euro bet recently and choo choo baby. I stopped simply because of superstitious reasons like it seems like whatever I bet on the opposite happens and I used to do it I used to bet against Milan every time just so Milan would win. No I never bet around Milan I normally never bet around Inter as well but this time I was like kind of trying to disrespect Inter but obviously it didn't work out.

227
00:34:51,000 --> 00:35:14,000
In the 32nd minute there was another VAR call it was no penalty for Inter I'm not gonna get into these too much guys. It was however in the 40th minute and then that Simone Romagnoli put the ball into the back of his own net so it was some intricate play by Inter eventually leading to Di Marco spanking across dangerous into the area only for it to be turned in by Romagnoli.

228
00:35:14,000 --> 00:35:42,000
The poor guy tried to clear it in an outstretched manner and it didn't end well. Yeah not at all not at all. It was just after the break in the 45th minute that Lautaro equalized thanks to an assist by Hakan Barella played the ball forward to Chala Noglu who squared it into the area to Lautaro who struck it with a vengeance into the top corner beautiful finish by Lautaro picking the ball up and running into the center.

229
00:35:42,000 --> 00:35:54,000
At this point it seems evident that Inter are just gonna run away with it now. It was then the 64th minute that Lautaro bagged his second Barellas cross was cleared clumsily into the part of Lautaro by Fiamozzi.

230
00:35:54,000 --> 00:36:06,000
Lautaro made no mistake with the finish and went on to celebrate shirtless he took off his undershirt too something Tonali hadn't done. Yeah we should make a list man I think it says a lot about their personality if they remove their undershirts or not.

231
00:36:06,000 --> 00:36:19,000
Do you think they're better people if they keep their undershirt on? I think they're more maybe they're less confident or they're less flashy. Exactly a bit more humility perhaps. Exactly I would agree with you.

232
00:36:19,000 --> 00:36:29,000
In the 92nd minute Zekko hit the post was some nice solo work by himself but his effort was denied by the far post. It was then two minutes later that Zekko assisted for Sanchez.

233
00:36:29,000 --> 00:36:44,000
Zekko was in the mood and he was taking his man on like a 54 year old layout and squired it to Sanchez who tapped it in. Zekko was dancing on the ball. He was he was he was feeling it man coming off as a sub.

234
00:36:44,000 --> 00:36:52,000
He'd have that energy at least he's not a fast there but obviously he'd have energy everyone else would be dead and he certainly made the most of it.

235
00:36:52,000 --> 00:37:07,000
So to start off I'll ask you you know what do you think of this game? Empoli were winning 2-0 Inter managed to win 4-2. So typically bro we crucify managers for trying to park the bus way too early right?

236
00:37:07,000 --> 00:37:21,000
Like we've criticized Spalletti, Mourinho, Inzaghi for these things you know. While here on the other hand we have to do the opposite. I think Andrea Azzoli needs to be criticized for being 2-0 up and still attacking with eight men.

237
00:37:21,000 --> 00:37:35,000
Do you want I tell you the difference between Andrea Azzoli and you know Allegri, Mourinho and Inzaghi? Allegri, Mourinho and Inzaghi are the managers of Juve, Roma and Inter.

238
00:37:35,000 --> 00:37:44,000
Andrea Azzoli is the manager of Empoli. You're winning with Empoli you put 11 men behind the ball, you put that in the box and you park the bus.

239
00:37:44,000 --> 00:37:53,000
If you're Roma, if you're Napoli you could continue with some firepower, you can hold possession, you could move forward, attack is the best form of defense at times.

240
00:37:53,000 --> 00:37:59,000
But not for Empoli, for a side like Empoli park the bus. Park the fucking bus and bring the legs.

241
00:37:59,000 --> 00:38:07,000
You know these guys have a second wave in them. In fact in the 17th minute that second wave occurred. Vidal, Dzeko, D'Ambrosio, the army on Sanchez came on.

242
00:38:07,000 --> 00:38:20,000
You know that they have had their disposal. Just hang in there. That's what they should've done. But obviously they are not the first team to concede four at the Giuseppe Meazza to enter the season.

243
00:38:20,000 --> 00:38:31,000
Who knows maybe they won't even be the last either. Aslani seems like hot property at the moment. He's dubbed the next Ben Nasser as he was bought from Empoli of course.

244
00:38:31,000 --> 00:38:37,000
First Richie, now Aslani. Empoli are just excellent at developing players aren't they man? For sure bro.

245
00:38:37,000 --> 00:38:49,000
We were all excited about Richie at the beginning of the season. Of course he went to Torino and he's actually been playing quite well there as of recently.

246
00:38:49,000 --> 00:38:56,000
Aslani emerged out of nowhere and he's been fucking good for them too. In fact we heard that Milan were interested at one point.

247
00:38:56,000 --> 00:39:01,000
The new Ben Nasser perhaps. They've always been a factory for talent you're right.

248
00:39:01,000 --> 00:39:12,000
I wouldn't be surprised if one of the higher end teams pick him up. Maybe a Fiorentina, maybe a Lazio, someone of the sort. It certainly seems like he could be a good squad player Aslani.

249
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:18,000
And what about Pena Monti bro? 13 goals this season. Madonna 13 goals is crazy for Empoli man.

250
00:39:18,000 --> 00:39:27,000
It's the same amount as Dzeko has scored for Inter and it's three times the amount that Correa has scored for Inter. Do you think he'll stay at Inter next season Pena Monti?

251
00:39:27,000 --> 00:39:36,000
It just depends because Inter are oversaturated as fuck with their strikers. They've got four at the moment and they've got four world class strikers.

252
00:39:36,000 --> 00:39:53,000
They've got Correa, very good rather. Correa, Dzeko, Lautaro and Sanchez will probably be on his way out because of his massive wages and Inter's finances so that's one down.

253
00:39:53,000 --> 00:40:04,000
Do you think Pena Monti should settle for being third fiddle? I think at his age it's only natural. He's going to be called upon eventually and he just needs to take those chances.

254
00:40:04,000 --> 00:40:13,000
I think a transfer to a smaller big team where he could potentially start would be on the cards for him.

255
00:40:13,000 --> 00:40:27,000
Imagine a side like Sassuola for example should they lose Skamaka or maybe Bologna if they lose Arnautovic, something like that. A slightly mid-table team.

256
00:40:27,000 --> 00:40:36,000
Perhaps but I'm not sure Inter would want to lose him. We'll see. It depends on their finances right now. We're talking about a 22 year old guy over here.

257
00:40:36,000 --> 00:40:42,000
A 22 year old guy who's just scored 13 goals in his first season starting.

258
00:40:42,000 --> 00:40:49,000
For sure but is the man going to settle for fucking playing third fiddle man? He probably will be third choice but with the squad rotation he can't.

259
00:40:49,000 --> 00:40:54,000
You can argue would he be settling for Sassuola when he could be competing to play for Inter.

260
00:40:54,000 --> 00:41:03,000
But normally the way it goes with these players that are progressing is they need a progressive step first before going to the top before impressing at Inter.

261
00:41:03,000 --> 00:41:17,000
He could do it two ways. He could either fight for his place at Inter which would be no easy task whatsoever but this opinion could bite me in the ass if Inter decide to offload a load of strikers because Lautaro's being rumoured away.

262
00:41:17,000 --> 00:41:26,000
Sanchez is being rumoured out as well. Even Dumfries has been rumoured to be leaving. But of course a pinch of salt.

263
00:41:26,000 --> 00:41:32,000
I guess what you're saying does make sense if you look at for example Petania who had a very similar season with Spal.

264
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:39,000
He was their only good point to be honest. Mendy Francesco back then. They got relegated in fact. And Lazary.

265
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:48,000
He went to Napoli prematurely in my opinion. He was playing third. He was alright and I was even earlier.

266
00:41:48,000 --> 00:41:56,000
So yes it could be a bit too early or too soon rather for Pena Monty to make that step to Inter. Maybe another loan deal is on the cards.

267
00:41:56,000 --> 00:42:02,000
We'll see what happens over here. Plus as we mentioned financial issues might cause them to sell basically.

268
00:42:02,000 --> 00:42:10,000
We mentioned Lautaro Martinez Friday night and I like the way you move. Lautaro Martinez.

269
00:42:10,000 --> 00:42:16,000
Five goals in six games played on a Friday this season. What is it about the SESH gremlin?

270
00:42:16,000 --> 00:42:20,000
I don't get it bro. I guess it's just happy that the weekend's here.

271
00:42:20,000 --> 00:42:26,000
Weekend means work for footballers. Weekend means blow dryer and hair dryer.

272
00:42:26,000 --> 00:42:34,000
Lautaro has just been massive for Inter this season. Obviously he has had that slip up in form.

273
00:42:34,000 --> 00:42:38,000
But after losing Lukaku someone had to step up and I feel like he did it at the right times.

274
00:42:38,000 --> 00:42:43,000
He did. He had a dry streak in the middle of the season but he seems to have overcome it now.

275
00:42:43,000 --> 00:42:53,000
Inter's mentality of course hardly ever seemed to slip up. So that Bologna game Milan really do need to take advantage of it quite frankly.

276
00:42:53,000 --> 00:43:01,000
Empoli had nothing to play for this game of course bar perhaps revenge for Inter relegating them two or three years ago.

277
00:43:01,000 --> 00:43:05,000
I can't quite remember right now of course there was that game. We often talk about it because it was a crazy game.

278
00:43:05,000 --> 00:43:08,000
Handanovic kept them in it. Empoli were all over them.

279
00:43:08,000 --> 00:43:10,000
One of the best sides of SING get relegated.

280
00:43:10,000 --> 00:43:16,000
They had Caputo, Traore, Bernaser, Kronish. They were stacked with talent.

281
00:43:16,000 --> 00:43:17,000
Insane.

282
00:43:17,000 --> 00:43:24,000
And of course they couldn't get it done against Inter and Inter got Champions League and Empoli got relegated that year.

283
00:43:24,000 --> 00:43:27,000
So revenge was not on the cards for them.

284
00:43:27,000 --> 00:43:31,000
Exactly. Now it was a very different encounter as Inter also have two matches left.

285
00:43:31,000 --> 00:43:39,000
They seem somewhat more straightforward than perhaps the Milan games but obviously with Caliari fighting for relegation and Sampdoria being somewhat in the mix as well.

286
00:43:39,000 --> 00:43:41,000
Those could get interesting very quick.

287
00:43:41,000 --> 00:43:51,000
There's also breaking news right now that states Inter will play this Sunday's game at 3 o'clock whereas Milan play at 6.

288
00:43:51,000 --> 00:43:58,000
It was originally scheduled for 8.45 so a bit of weirdness over there but I don't have the details down to a tee.

289
00:43:58,000 --> 00:44:08,000
Inter find themselves in second place two points behind Milan whereas Empoli find themselves in 14th on 37 points for ahead of Spezia.

290
00:44:08,000 --> 00:44:12,000
The next game we're going to be discussing is Torino nil Napoli 1.

291
00:44:12,000 --> 00:44:16,000
The previous encounter was another 1-nil win for Napoli.

292
00:44:16,000 --> 00:44:24,000
Napoli were coming off a 6-1 spanking to Sassuolo while Torino were coming off a 3-1 away victory to Empoli.

293
00:44:24,000 --> 00:44:27,000
So safe to say both teams came into this game inspired.

294
00:44:27,000 --> 00:44:36,000
Torino's lost win in Serie A against Napoli came back in the March of 2015 in a 1-nil victory thanks to a Kamil Glick goal.

295
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:42,000
You might remember him recently playing with Benevento in Serie A.

296
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:44,000
Now I remember.

297
00:44:44,000 --> 00:44:47,000
In the 61st minute Insigne missed a penalty.

298
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:54,000
There was a harsh penalty given on it but the replay showed that he made just enough contact with Mertens.

299
00:44:54,000 --> 00:44:57,000
So harsh this penalty.

300
00:44:57,000 --> 00:44:59,000
Insigne stuttered.

301
00:44:59,000 --> 00:45:00,000
Slowed it down.

302
00:45:00,000 --> 00:45:01,000
It looks really bad.

303
00:45:01,000 --> 00:45:04,000
Insigne stuttered in the line-up as he usually does.

304
00:45:04,000 --> 00:45:06,000
He went left as he typically does.

305
00:45:06,000 --> 00:45:09,000
Berisha guessed correctly as they typically do and he saved it.

306
00:45:09,000 --> 00:45:11,000
Another missed penalty for Insigne.

307
00:45:11,000 --> 00:45:12,000
He had a good run.

308
00:45:12,000 --> 00:45:13,000
He had a very good run.

309
00:45:13,000 --> 00:45:16,000
So it was a loud one now I think.

310
00:45:16,000 --> 00:45:19,000
I wouldn't call 8 out of 12 a good run.

311
00:45:19,000 --> 00:45:23,000
I mean he got his last 2 or 3 I believe.

312
00:45:23,000 --> 00:45:25,000
I have a problem with Insigne bro I'm going to say it.

313
00:45:25,000 --> 00:45:27,000
What that he's off to Canada?

314
00:45:27,000 --> 00:45:29,000
Oh it's a combination of things.

315
00:45:29,000 --> 00:45:36,000
He's right. I mean you look at a player whose entire personality was based about being loyal and loving Naples and being from there and wanting to take them to the top.

316
00:45:36,000 --> 00:45:40,000
And then the one opportunity he had to actually fucking fight and work for his team.

317
00:45:40,000 --> 00:45:45,000
In January he's rumored to be off to fucking Canada and all of a sudden they were confirmed.

318
00:45:45,000 --> 00:45:47,000
They signed the contract and everything.

319
00:45:47,000 --> 00:45:50,000
Some crazy deal making millions and millions whatever.

320
00:45:50,000 --> 00:45:51,000
You know how the Neapolitans feel about that.

321
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:53,000
So that was already a massive slap in the face.

322
00:45:53,000 --> 00:45:57,000
That and the fact that he's only scored I think one open play goal this season.

323
00:45:57,000 --> 00:45:58,000
Two now.

324
00:45:58,000 --> 00:45:59,000
Two?

325
00:45:59,000 --> 00:46:00,000
It's shit.

326
00:46:00,000 --> 00:46:02,000
He's scored 8 penalties out of 12.

327
00:46:02,000 --> 00:46:04,000
Like he's missed quite a few as well.

328
00:46:04,000 --> 00:46:05,000
He's not passing man.

329
00:46:05,000 --> 00:46:06,000
When the pass is on he doesn't.

330
00:46:06,000 --> 00:46:07,000
Pass he goes for the dribble or the shot.

331
00:46:07,000 --> 00:46:09,000
He's playing selfishly man.

332
00:46:09,000 --> 00:46:12,000
I still think he's instrumental for the Neapolit team.

333
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:15,000
I think it can't be underrated how he dictates play down the left.

334
00:46:15,000 --> 00:46:16,000
He cuts in.

335
00:46:16,000 --> 00:46:18,000
He creates a lot of space for his teammates.

336
00:46:18,000 --> 00:46:27,000
But as you're saying I have a bit of a problem with Insigne right now as well because I mean club captain you confirm that you're leaving in January.

337
00:46:27,000 --> 00:46:34,000
And you know his performance since then he hasn't been as sharp as he was for example last season.

338
00:46:34,000 --> 00:46:37,000
He hasn't been contributing as much as he hasn't been last season.

339
00:46:37,000 --> 00:46:41,000
We blame the tone the stick he was getting from fans and the situation that he's currently in.

340
00:46:41,000 --> 00:46:49,000
But at the end of the day to be honest he has had a slump but he is going to be missed by the Napoli faithful.

341
00:46:49,000 --> 00:46:51,000
I don't know about that bro.

342
00:46:51,000 --> 00:46:54,000
To be honest with you they have their legends over there in Naples.

343
00:46:54,000 --> 00:46:55,000
They've got their Maradona.

344
00:46:55,000 --> 00:46:57,000
They've got their Mertens.

345
00:46:57,000 --> 00:47:01,000
I think Insigne is going to actually be viewed in that Higuain light.

346
00:47:01,000 --> 00:47:02,000
That traitor light.

347
00:47:02,000 --> 00:47:04,000
That we could have won the league if you played a little bit better.

348
00:47:04,000 --> 00:47:08,000
If you didn't have your head up your ass and in Canada whatever.

349
00:47:08,000 --> 00:47:10,000
I guess maybe.

350
00:47:10,000 --> 00:47:11,000
Different opinions.

351
00:47:11,000 --> 00:47:20,000
In fact shortly after Insigne was played through and after waiting so long to shoot that the defender caught up to him and blocked it.

352
00:47:20,000 --> 00:47:26,000
That Lozano was visibly frustrated. He was wide open. Ozyman just frustrated.

353
00:47:26,000 --> 00:47:31,000
You can't help but feel that it's not just the fans that are frustrated with Insigne's form.

354
00:47:31,000 --> 00:47:32,000
It's the players around him.

355
00:47:32,000 --> 00:47:36,000
They're often swinging their arms around flailing them around whenever he's on the ball.

356
00:47:36,000 --> 00:47:39,000
Because when he plays badly he plays badly.

357
00:47:39,000 --> 00:47:42,000
There's no in-between performance for Insigne.

358
00:47:42,000 --> 00:47:46,000
It's either spectacular or he's horse shit.

359
00:47:46,000 --> 00:47:51,000
The winner came in the 73rd minute shortly after being subbed on.

360
00:47:51,000 --> 00:47:55,000
Pobega casually attempted to flick the ball past Ruiz in midfield.

361
00:47:55,000 --> 00:47:58,000
Ruiz read it well of course and intercepted it.

362
00:47:58,000 --> 00:48:03,000
He drove into the area firing between Berisha's legs and into the back of the net.

363
00:48:03,000 --> 00:48:10,000
It's frustrating bro when a lone player that already knows he's going to be at a bigger club the next season does something like that right?

364
00:48:10,000 --> 00:48:12,000
It is frustrating.

365
00:48:12,000 --> 00:48:17,000
Then again you won't pull this shit off if you try but there's just time and place to try these things.

366
00:48:17,000 --> 00:48:22,000
I guess Torino have their own little battle within that top ten region.

367
00:48:22,000 --> 00:48:24,000
And yeah he did let his team out.

368
00:48:24,000 --> 00:48:27,000
They could have come out with a good nil-nil victory to Napoli.

369
00:48:27,000 --> 00:48:34,000
And he really killed the vibe quite frankly because I couldn't help but notice how calm Torino fans were prior to the goal bro.

370
00:48:34,000 --> 00:48:39,000
Watching it on TV it was daytime. It was sunny. The weather was beautiful.

371
00:48:39,000 --> 00:48:43,000
Everyone was smiling. Everyone was laughing.

372
00:48:43,000 --> 00:48:46,000
They could have done it. They've been in great form man Torino.

373
00:48:46,000 --> 00:48:50,000
They could have done it but it was individual error that lost them this game.

374
00:48:50,000 --> 00:48:53,000
And a few lucky calls as well within Sydney are fucking up twice as well.

375
00:48:53,000 --> 00:48:57,000
True true. But these fans bro they seem to believe in Juric.

376
00:48:57,000 --> 00:49:00,000
And they're happy with the trajectory of the club I think.

377
00:49:00,000 --> 00:49:04,000
They became so cocky after Berisha saved the penalty.

378
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,000
They were so cocky bro smiling and waving at the cameras.

379
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:10,000
They're forced to be reckoned with man Torino this season.

380
00:49:10,000 --> 00:49:14,000
They had their slumps. They had a terrible season last season.

381
00:49:14,000 --> 00:49:17,000
But they're looking much better now and I think next season bro.

382
00:49:17,000 --> 00:49:18,000
Next year they're going to be even better.

383
00:49:18,000 --> 00:49:23,000
When Juric builds the team that he can if they give him the liberty to do so.

384
00:49:23,000 --> 00:49:31,000
Hopefully they're going to be top eight potentially. Top nine potentially. They're going to be good.

385
00:49:31,000 --> 00:49:37,000
Nopoli pretty much bro have secured third place after Juventus faltered against Genoa.

386
00:49:37,000 --> 00:49:40,000
It's a good season for them.

387
00:49:40,000 --> 00:49:42,000
Is it though? I don't think so.

388
00:49:42,000 --> 00:49:46,000
When they found themselves in the situation they were in they were first for quite a long time.

389
00:49:46,000 --> 00:49:48,000
They had a fantastic start to the season.

390
00:49:48,000 --> 00:49:50,000
Then they got a bit fucked over with injuries.

391
00:49:50,000 --> 00:49:53,000
They seemed like they were going to get out of that well.

392
00:49:53,000 --> 00:49:56,000
But then they just slipped up on a couple of occasions.

393
00:49:56,000 --> 00:49:58,000
They had a couple of bad spells throughout.

394
00:49:58,000 --> 00:50:07,000
I think if they reassessed in January saw what they could do and found out that at the end of the season they're in the situation that they're in.

395
00:50:07,000 --> 00:50:09,000
That'd be very disappointed man.

396
00:50:09,000 --> 00:50:13,000
Maybe. I mean they could have won the league.

397
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:15,000
They could have won the league. That's true.

398
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:18,000
But you know for example Milan could have won the league last season.

399
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:22,000
But qualifying for Champions League was the most important thing right.

400
00:50:22,000 --> 00:50:25,000
And at the end of the season Milan fans were satisfied.

401
00:50:25,000 --> 00:50:27,000
They said look this was our objective.

402
00:50:27,000 --> 00:50:29,000
Granted it was a plain crash landing.

403
00:50:29,000 --> 00:50:30,000
You know what I mean?

404
00:50:30,000 --> 00:50:33,000
Like in the Caliari game, then the Atalanta one, whatever.

405
00:50:33,000 --> 00:50:37,000
But this time Napoli have qualified for Champions League.

406
00:50:37,000 --> 00:50:41,000
That's the reason why Spalletti was brought on.

407
00:50:41,000 --> 00:50:44,000
Of course something Gattuso couldn't do.

408
00:50:44,000 --> 00:50:46,000
And for them this is a step in the right direction.

409
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:48,000
A step in the right direction for sure.

410
00:50:48,000 --> 00:50:53,000
And they showed us what they can do and next season hopefully for them they could do it more consistently.

411
00:50:53,000 --> 00:51:00,000
But again I think if you find yourself in a certain situation and then when it comes down to the boiling point you bottle it once again.

412
00:51:00,000 --> 00:51:05,000
Like alright this is a new look Napoli with a new manager, new players as well in Sydney are leaving.

413
00:51:05,000 --> 00:51:07,000
Next season Ozymen up front.

414
00:51:07,000 --> 00:51:15,000
Yeah I still wouldn't call it a totally successful season because their ceiling was not reached.

415
00:51:15,000 --> 00:51:18,000
And they settled for their minimum goal so to say.

416
00:51:18,000 --> 00:51:21,000
Fair enough. Fair enough.

417
00:51:21,000 --> 00:51:23,000
Okay.

418
00:51:23,000 --> 00:51:25,000
Itso had a great tackle.

419
00:51:25,000 --> 00:51:28,000
Lost the tackle in the area on Ozymen.

420
00:51:28,000 --> 00:51:30,000
These things aren't often mentioned of course in the highlights.

421
00:51:30,000 --> 00:51:32,000
I thought it would be cool to mention that.

422
00:51:32,000 --> 00:51:34,000
Itso's an animal.

423
00:51:34,000 --> 00:51:37,000
Any other observations from this game by any chance?

424
00:51:37,000 --> 00:51:39,000
I mean the game was pretty tight.

425
00:51:39,000 --> 00:51:45,000
I think Torino showed that they can battle with some of the best teams in the league this season.

426
00:51:45,000 --> 00:51:49,000
Beating Juve, they did bits in this game against Napoli.

427
00:51:49,000 --> 00:51:51,000
They held Milan as well.

428
00:51:51,000 --> 00:51:57,000
Ten shots for them to Napoli's eleven but unfortunately due to human error they didn't manage to get away with the victory.

429
00:51:57,000 --> 00:52:03,000
Napoli sit in third with 73 points while Torino find themselves in tenth with 47 points.

430
00:52:03,000 --> 00:52:08,000
The next game we're gonna be covering is the biggest upset that happened this weekend.

431
00:52:08,000 --> 00:52:12,000
Probably it was Juve travelling to Genoa and coming away with nothing.

432
00:52:12,000 --> 00:52:14,000
It was Genoa 2, Juve 1.

433
00:52:14,000 --> 00:52:18,000
The previous encounter was Juve 2, Genoa nil.

434
00:52:18,000 --> 00:52:21,000
Quite frankly that's the way these games are supposed to go.

435
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:27,000
Quite frankly, I mean when you have teams that aren't as uninspired as Juve are right now.

436
00:52:27,000 --> 00:52:30,000
We'll get down to the slander very soon.

437
00:52:30,000 --> 00:52:31,000
Exactly.

438
00:52:31,000 --> 00:52:40,000
Genoa are coming off a derby loss to Sampdoria with the score of 1-0 obviously with that heart-breaking 96th minute penalty miss for Krishnetov.

439
00:52:40,000 --> 00:52:46,000
Juve are coming off a 2-1 home victory against Venezia aka Bonucci's birthday bash.

440
00:52:46,000 --> 00:52:49,000
Happy birthday baby!

441
00:52:49,000 --> 00:52:54,000
Coming into this Juve had won each of their last five Serie A meetings against Genoa.

442
00:52:54,000 --> 00:53:01,000
They last embarked on a longer winning streak against them between 1957 and 1960 where they got 7.

443
00:53:01,000 --> 00:53:07,000
In the 48th minute Keane dispossessed a defender and played it to Debala just outside the area.

444
00:53:07,000 --> 00:53:13,000
Debala took a touch and placed it cleanly into the bottom right corner beating an outstretched Sirigu.

445
00:53:13,000 --> 00:53:19,000
Debala then went for a similar shot this time with his left only moments later to hit the post.

446
00:53:19,000 --> 00:53:28,000
In the 68th minute Zakaria continued to hit the post while in the 83rd minute there was a Varchek that indicated no penalty for Juve.

447
00:53:28,000 --> 00:53:31,000
Now this is where shit went sour for Juve.

448
00:53:31,000 --> 00:53:38,000
It was in the 87th minute that Amiri played the ball through to Goodmansen who took a touch and finished with his right foot.

449
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:40,000
The Icelandic winger had come off the bench.

450
00:53:40,000 --> 00:53:46,000
That was quite a nice goal. He took the touch with the outstep of his right foot and shot it with the laces.

451
00:53:46,000 --> 00:53:49,000
Yeah, exactly. Great finish by Goodmansen.

452
00:53:49,000 --> 00:53:59,000
Moments later it looked like Genoa were actually going to take the lead when Rabio misplaced a pass and Amiri's seemingly easy goal was denied by Varchek-Szezny.

453
00:53:59,000 --> 00:54:05,000
There was then, moments later, Morata squared the ball to Keane who had an open net but shot wide.

454
00:54:05,000 --> 00:54:18,000
A terrible miss for the Italian man. And then in the 96th minute De Silio fouled Ekoban in the area and bravely Krishito stepped up to take the penalty.

455
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:28,000
He then stepped up and atoned for his error in the derby della lanterna as he converted the penalty and ran off in celebration.

456
00:54:28,000 --> 00:54:36,000
He took off his shirt but this time bro just make a note over here because he left his undershirt on so just add that to your note.

457
00:54:36,000 --> 00:54:38,000
You think it's because they're a bit flabby here?

458
00:54:38,000 --> 00:54:43,000
I don't think so bro. I think it's just pure instinct to take something off and fucking run.

459
00:54:43,000 --> 00:54:46,000
I was grateful to never do shorts unless you're a bot.

460
00:54:46,000 --> 00:54:53,000
But what a moment for Genoa, what a moment for Krishito, what had Romagnoli taken off his shorts?

461
00:54:53,000 --> 00:54:56,000
Romagnoli would take off his shorts at any opportunity he got.

462
00:54:56,000 --> 00:54:57,000
Really?

463
00:54:57,000 --> 00:55:01,000
Yes, it's a very Italian thing. Remember the 2006 World Cup they were under a tighty white.

464
00:55:01,000 --> 00:55:10,000
I remember that. But as I was saying what a moment for Genoa as it seems like they suddenly have a glimmer of hope.

465
00:55:10,000 --> 00:55:15,000
What a moment for Krishito who was distraught in the last game and now the way football works is beautiful.

466
00:55:15,000 --> 00:55:22,000
They lose the lanterna but then they beat Juve at home the next week. Why did Juve lose this game bro?

467
00:55:22,000 --> 00:55:34,000
I think Juve right now don't have anything to play for. They're qualified, these three games have vibes.

468
00:55:34,000 --> 00:55:46,000
They don't even know who their manager is going to be next season and Allegri is tasked with this infuriating job of keeping his players motivated while knowing that he might not even be at the helm next season.

469
00:55:46,000 --> 00:55:50,000
Special players like Debala knowing he's out next season for example.

470
00:55:50,000 --> 00:55:58,000
Exactly, so there were a lot of lapses in concentration. There were many people who seemed unmotivated to be honest and distracted.

471
00:55:58,000 --> 00:56:00,000
They're in the middle of a lot of bullshit.

472
00:56:00,000 --> 00:56:06,000
Like Keynes miss that wasn't, granted it happens but that goes to show that he wasn't focused at the time.

473
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:12,000
Rabio's error in the back who just passing losing the ball in the box. Amiri's one on one with the goalkeeper that was a fuck up.

474
00:56:12,000 --> 00:56:17,000
Not to mention Decilio's clumsy ass tackle at the end. These guys are distracted.

475
00:56:17,000 --> 00:56:22,000
100%. They only had four shots on target. Genoa had fucking six dude.

476
00:56:22,000 --> 00:56:28,000
So it goes to show how this game went. Vlaović again just totally isolated.

477
00:56:28,000 --> 00:56:37,000
I saw a stat recently that said that in the past two games he managed to take one shot and he basically had to fucking go to Hellland back to get that shot.

478
00:56:37,000 --> 00:56:42,000
He beat three players and it was more of a hallelujah more than anything.

479
00:56:42,000 --> 00:56:50,000
Simply this doesn't seem to be the system for him. I understand that by just having him there as a striker, as a forward, it does make them a better team.

480
00:56:50,000 --> 00:56:55,000
But he is one of the most prolific goal scorers in the league. Please play him in like.

481
00:56:55,000 --> 00:56:58,000
He costs 30 million more than Holland bro.

482
00:56:58,000 --> 00:57:04,000
That's fucking nuts like when you think well I'm not denying Vlaović's ability. I'm just saying.

483
00:57:04,000 --> 00:57:07,000
Holland is not a 60 million football player.

484
00:57:07,000 --> 00:57:10,000
Holland is a generational talent right?

485
00:57:10,000 --> 00:57:12,000
Exactly.

486
00:57:12,000 --> 00:57:15,000
I think bro from this Juve team there is a positive about it.

487
00:57:15,000 --> 00:57:21,000
So first of all watch how tomorrow's game, Wednesday's game, sorry against Inter the final.

488
00:57:21,000 --> 00:57:23,000
It's going to be a completely different Juve.

489
00:57:23,000 --> 00:57:26,000
Probably when you're listening it will be today's game.

490
00:57:26,000 --> 00:57:31,000
But like Jake said it will be a different Juve man. For sure they rise to these occasions as fuck.

491
00:57:31,000 --> 00:57:37,000
Right. Going into this game, Miretti bro, he's been playing really well right?

492
00:57:37,000 --> 00:57:41,000
This 18 year old midfielder. I saw a hot take on Twitter.

493
00:57:41,000 --> 00:57:47,000
Someone said that if Locatelli isn't fit then Miretti should start in the final against Inter basically over Arthur.

494
00:57:47,000 --> 00:57:50,000
What do you think?

495
00:57:50,000 --> 00:57:57,000
Potentially man. Potentially. He has come in, he's shown great positional awareness.

496
00:57:57,000 --> 00:58:02,000
He's playing the ball around nicely. He's stepping up to take set pieces.

497
00:58:02,000 --> 00:58:07,000
And I think as a direct replacement for Locatelli he makes sense as a player.

498
00:58:07,000 --> 00:58:14,000
And I think he brings a breath of fresh air to Juve rather than Arthur who is a lateral passing king.

499
00:58:14,000 --> 00:58:19,000
Miretti is not shy to pass the ball forward. He passes the ball forward loads.

500
00:58:19,000 --> 00:58:24,000
He's way more of a positive player in the midfield than Arthur.

501
00:58:24,000 --> 00:58:26,000
Obviously Miretti still has a lot to learn.

502
00:58:26,000 --> 00:58:31,000
But that raw talent in Juve's team in the midfield is a nice breath of fresh air man.

503
00:58:31,000 --> 00:58:36,000
The question is why is deploying someone like that in a final in 18 year old?

504
00:58:36,000 --> 00:58:39,000
The pressure is so high, the stakes are so high and you're against Inter.

505
00:58:39,000 --> 00:58:41,000
It could be a make or break moment.

506
00:58:41,000 --> 00:58:48,000
It is a make or break moment and in these situations Allegri must have a higher football IQ than us.

507
00:58:48,000 --> 00:58:51,000
And he knows him, he actually knows his character.

508
00:58:51,000 --> 00:58:54,000
Exactly, I don't know what he's like in the dressing room, I don't know if he's a leader.

509
00:58:54,000 --> 00:58:57,000
But it seems like he's not bad under pressure.

510
00:58:57,000 --> 00:59:02,000
He's playing like you said for a weird Juve team at the moment and he's been doing well man.

511
00:59:02,000 --> 00:59:08,000
And congratulating him maybe with a performance in the final, with starting in the final,

512
00:59:08,000 --> 00:59:12,000
then maybe bringing on Arthur later on, might be a good shout man.

513
00:59:12,000 --> 00:59:15,000
I wouldn't bet that Allegri starts him in the final.

514
00:59:15,000 --> 00:59:17,000
I wouldn't bet so either. He'll go for Arthur.

515
00:59:17,000 --> 00:59:22,000
He'll use the mentality of yep, this is the only thing we're playing for this season.

516
00:59:22,000 --> 00:59:25,000
Might as well deploy my most experienced players.

517
00:59:25,000 --> 00:59:29,000
Players that have proven themselves and he'll end up choosing Arthur I'm quite sure.

518
00:59:29,000 --> 00:59:31,000
Yeah, most likely.

519
00:59:31,000 --> 00:59:34,000
Genoa bro, of course, they refuse to die, right?

520
00:59:34,000 --> 00:59:37,000
Cremonez and Lecce have been promoted to Serie A.

521
00:59:37,000 --> 00:59:39,000
By the way, we should make a post about that.

522
00:59:39,000 --> 00:59:44,000
But it's still unknown which of these Serie A teams will face relegation.

523
00:59:44,000 --> 00:59:45,000
That's crazy, right?

524
00:59:45,000 --> 00:59:48,000
Not a single team has been relegated yet.

525
00:59:48,000 --> 00:59:51,000
Next weekend we'll see some relegations.

526
00:59:51,000 --> 00:59:56,000
Venezia could have been the first ones to get relegated, but they scored the last minute winner.

527
00:59:56,000 --> 00:59:58,000
Yeah, exactly.

528
00:59:58,000 --> 01:00:00,000
Crazy league this year.

529
01:00:00,000 --> 01:00:03,000
Everything is beautiful this year.

530
01:00:03,000 --> 01:00:07,000
What's this about Debala apparently preferring Milan to Inter?

531
01:00:07,000 --> 01:00:08,000
Who said this shit?

532
01:00:08,000 --> 01:00:11,000
Il Giornale, it's an Italian newspaper.

533
01:00:11,000 --> 01:00:15,000
Of course, they said that Debala would prefer a move to Milan over Inter.

534
01:00:15,000 --> 01:00:23,000
The question is, would Milan prefer a move for Debala to them than to Inter?

535
01:00:23,000 --> 01:00:26,000
It's a question you need to ask Maldini.

536
01:00:26,000 --> 01:00:28,000
The answer is probably a resounding no.

537
01:00:28,000 --> 01:00:32,000
He just doesn't seem to fit what Milan are trying to do at all.

538
01:00:32,000 --> 01:00:34,000
But he's free, man.

539
01:00:34,000 --> 01:00:36,000
He's fucking free, eh, dawg?

540
01:00:36,000 --> 01:00:38,000
And I mean, Milan have bought older players.

541
01:00:38,000 --> 01:00:41,000
They've bought older players with a similar salary like Zlatan.

542
01:00:41,000 --> 01:00:43,000
He has experience in the league as well.

543
01:00:43,000 --> 01:00:46,000
His wages are quite fucking crazy though, no? Aren't they?

544
01:00:46,000 --> 01:00:47,000
They are, yes.

545
01:00:47,000 --> 01:00:49,000
Is it nine million a season?

546
01:00:49,000 --> 01:00:51,000
Something like that, bro.

547
01:00:51,000 --> 01:00:53,000
Personally, you know how I feel about Debala.

548
01:00:53,000 --> 01:00:56,000
You know how I don't like the fact that he can't get a full season out of him.

549
01:00:56,000 --> 01:01:00,000
You can't rely on him for stretches of the season.

550
01:01:00,000 --> 01:01:03,000
But then he's so good, man. He's so good then.

551
01:01:03,000 --> 01:01:04,000
He is, he really is.

552
01:01:04,000 --> 01:01:05,000
He is really good.

553
01:01:05,000 --> 01:01:08,000
Like who's been doing shit for Juve in the past couple of games?

554
01:01:08,000 --> 01:01:09,000
Him, Debala.

555
01:01:09,000 --> 01:01:10,000
It's true.

556
01:01:10,000 --> 01:01:12,000
Debala's been performing.

557
01:01:12,000 --> 01:01:15,000
So it's one of those that probably right now I'll say,

558
01:01:15,000 --> 01:01:20,000
ah, there are better options out there, even if Milan need to invest some money short term and then save in wages.

559
01:01:20,000 --> 01:01:24,000
But then again, if Milan were linked to him and he was close to signing,

560
01:01:24,000 --> 01:01:27,000
I'll be excited to watch him put on the kit and perform.

561
01:01:27,000 --> 01:01:28,000
Yeah, and that's the thing.

562
01:01:28,000 --> 01:01:32,000
Quite frankly, it'd have to be a bit of a doofus to say no to Debala on a free.

563
01:01:32,000 --> 01:01:33,000
Exactly.

564
01:01:33,000 --> 01:01:36,000
Maratta posted a picture of Quadrado on his story, bro.

565
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:38,000
Do you know who else was in it, man?

566
01:01:38,000 --> 01:01:39,000
No.

567
01:01:39,000 --> 01:01:45,000
Kialini and his monkey dick bro again.

568
01:01:45,000 --> 01:01:52,000
This is the second time Kialini's been changing at work and he's naked on the internet.

569
01:01:52,000 --> 01:01:54,000
Seriously, it was another one.

570
01:01:54,000 --> 01:01:55,000
It was another one.

571
01:01:55,000 --> 01:01:56,000
What the fuck, guys?

572
01:01:56,000 --> 01:01:58,000
Be careful.

573
01:01:58,000 --> 01:02:01,000
Oh, Kialini's just fucking getting naked.

574
01:02:01,000 --> 01:02:02,000
He's at work.

575
01:02:02,000 --> 01:02:04,000
He's just changing.

576
01:02:04,000 --> 01:02:06,000
I don't get fucking naked at work.

577
01:02:06,000 --> 01:02:08,000
You're not an athlete.

578
01:02:08,000 --> 01:02:09,000
How weird.

579
01:02:09,000 --> 01:02:11,000
You have the photo.

580
01:02:11,000 --> 01:02:12,000
I do.

581
01:02:12,000 --> 01:02:14,000
It's probably been taken down of everywhere.

582
01:02:14,000 --> 01:02:16,000
I highly doubt it.

583
01:02:16,000 --> 01:02:18,000
On Twitter, man, you'll find it for sure.

584
01:02:18,000 --> 01:02:22,000
In the meantime, I'm going to let you know where these teams stand

585
01:02:22,000 --> 01:02:26,000
while Drake looks for Kialini's monkey dick, apparently.

586
01:02:26,000 --> 01:02:29,000
So you were in fourth on 69 points.

587
01:02:29,000 --> 01:02:30,000
There are four points.

588
01:02:30,000 --> 01:02:33,000
It was actually Bonucci's monkey dick.

589
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,000
It was Bonucci's monkey dick.

590
01:02:35,000 --> 01:02:39,000
Now all we need is Barzalli's and we have completed the BBC.

591
01:02:39,000 --> 01:02:42,000
It's three monkey dicks.

592
01:02:42,000 --> 01:02:45,000
So as I was saying before you rudely interrupted,

593
01:02:45,000 --> 01:02:48,000
Juve are fourth on 69 points.

594
01:02:48,000 --> 01:02:52,000
There are four behind Napoli and seven ahead of Lazio in fifth.

595
01:02:52,000 --> 01:02:55,000
Whilst Genoa are on 28 points in 19th.

596
01:02:55,000 --> 01:02:56,000
Two points from safety.

597
01:02:56,000 --> 01:02:58,000
Three ahead of Venezia.

598
01:02:58,000 --> 01:03:03,000
The next game we're going to be covering is Lazio 2-Sampdoria nil.

599
01:03:03,000 --> 01:03:07,000
The reverse fixture was a 3-1 away victory for Lazio.

600
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:11,000
Lazio were coming off that mental 4-3 victory against Spezia

601
01:03:11,000 --> 01:03:14,000
while Sampdoria were coming off their Derby de la Lanterne victory

602
01:03:14,000 --> 01:03:17,000
thanks to a penalty save by Audero and Krishito at the end

603
01:03:17,000 --> 01:03:20,000
as we discussed literally five minutes ago.

604
01:03:20,000 --> 01:03:24,000
Lazio have only failed to find the net in one of their last two,

605
01:03:24,000 --> 01:03:27,000
say, meetings with Sampdoria, losing only two of those games, bro.

606
01:03:27,000 --> 01:03:32,000
The last Sampdoria, say, win at the Olympico against Lazio came back in 2005.

607
01:03:32,000 --> 01:03:36,000
So the game kicked off, of course, and it was in the 41st minute

608
01:03:36,000 --> 01:03:42,000
that Patrick managed to score thanks to a lovely Louis Alberto free kick.

609
01:03:42,000 --> 01:03:46,000
It's funny to see Patrick, you know, he ran between two defenders

610
01:03:46,000 --> 01:03:48,000
and was next to Omar Colley when he scored the goal.

611
01:03:48,000 --> 01:03:51,000
But, you know, the two defenders who are at fault here pointed to Colley

612
01:03:51,000 --> 01:03:55,000
and they kind of threw him under the bus when in reality it was their fault.

613
01:03:55,000 --> 01:03:56,000
You know, they lost their man.

614
01:03:56,000 --> 01:03:59,000
Yeah, it was miscommunication in the defense.

615
01:03:59,000 --> 01:04:02,000
I don't think it's fair to just blame Colley for that one.

616
01:04:02,000 --> 01:04:05,000
So funny seeing them pointing their fingers and flailing their arms

617
01:04:05,000 --> 01:04:07,000
when he just ran past them.

618
01:04:07,000 --> 01:04:11,000
In the 59th minute, Lazio tore Sampdoria a new one.

619
01:04:11,000 --> 01:04:16,000
Lazardy intercepted the post and burst past Augiello and two midfielders.

620
01:04:16,000 --> 01:04:19,000
He played the ball to Louis Alberto who took it round the goalkeeper,

621
01:04:19,000 --> 01:04:22,000
paused it and tapped it into the back of the net.

622
01:04:22,000 --> 01:04:25,000
Paused it, paused and tapped it into the back of the net.

623
01:04:25,000 --> 01:04:28,000
It was a fucking great goal by the wizard himself, bro.

624
01:04:28,000 --> 01:04:30,000
Mesmerizing composure.

625
01:04:30,000 --> 01:04:34,000
Even when he was completely stopped and he had all those bodies around him,

626
01:04:34,000 --> 01:04:38,000
just calmly tapped it into the back of the net between a couple of players as well.

627
01:04:38,000 --> 01:04:40,000
He's just magic when he's on this guy, man.

628
01:04:40,000 --> 01:04:44,000
Not bad to have him and Milinkovic salvage in your midfield.

629
01:04:44,000 --> 01:04:46,000
Not bad at all, quite frankly.

630
01:04:46,000 --> 01:04:49,000
In the 90th minute, Kualirella hit the post.

631
01:04:49,000 --> 01:04:54,000
Macross came in and he found himself perfectly placed right in front of the goalkeeper

632
01:04:54,000 --> 01:04:58,000
as he kicked the ball into the post very uncharacteristically.

633
01:04:58,000 --> 01:05:02,000
Yep, well, he hasn't had the best of seasons, Kualirella.

634
01:05:02,000 --> 01:05:05,000
There was a shout that maybe he's not being found

635
01:05:05,000 --> 01:05:07,000
and if he's being found he's gonna score.

636
01:05:07,000 --> 01:05:11,000
He was found here and unfortunately he didn't manage to hit the back of the net.

637
01:05:11,000 --> 01:05:14,000
It's always nice to see players who don't often score, eh bro,

638
01:05:14,000 --> 01:05:16,000
eventually when they score.

639
01:05:16,000 --> 01:05:17,000
With Patrick, eh.

640
01:05:17,000 --> 01:05:21,000
Sprinting, screaming, tapping the Lazio badge, you know, crazy scenes.

641
01:05:21,000 --> 01:05:24,000
It means a lot to them and this shit is literally their life.

642
01:05:24,000 --> 01:05:28,000
And for Patrick to come in, I mean, I think even we talked some smack about

643
01:05:28,000 --> 01:05:30,000
how is Patrick in your starting eleven, you know.

644
01:05:30,000 --> 01:05:32,000
For 120 games.

645
01:05:32,000 --> 01:05:38,000
Yeah, and he got a goal and he celebrated like it meant the world to him.

646
01:05:38,000 --> 01:05:40,000
So happy for him and happy for Lazio.

647
01:05:40,000 --> 01:05:43,000
Yeah, Sanpedoria this game bro showed some good fight.

648
01:05:43,000 --> 01:05:47,000
No, they were attacking early on, they forced the goalkeeper into a few saves

649
01:05:47,000 --> 01:05:50,000
but it wasn't enough to get anything over here.

650
01:05:50,000 --> 01:05:53,000
Lazio basically won due to a training ground routine

651
01:05:53,000 --> 01:05:56,000
and a moment of magic by Luis Alberto, right?

652
01:05:56,000 --> 01:05:57,000
That's what it is.

653
01:05:57,000 --> 01:06:02,000
I mean, Lazio are a well-versed side under Maurizio Sarri.

654
01:06:02,000 --> 01:06:06,000
They have a couple of moves up their sleeves.

655
01:06:06,000 --> 01:06:11,000
Aside from that they have some magical players like we mentioned Milinkovic Savic,

656
01:06:11,000 --> 01:06:14,000
we mentioned Luis Alberto, there's obviously Ciro, Moblez,

657
01:06:14,000 --> 01:06:17,000
Felipe Anderson on his day.

658
01:06:17,000 --> 01:06:22,000
So they definitely have a couple of tools that could hurt teams.

659
01:06:22,000 --> 01:06:27,000
In this case, obviously facing a Sanpedoria side we didn't expect any different.

660
01:06:27,000 --> 01:06:31,000
If a 2-0 victory was in fact correct score for me.

661
01:06:31,000 --> 01:06:35,000
So, yeah, just a bit of a flex over there for you.

662
01:06:35,000 --> 01:06:36,000
Thanks bro.

663
01:06:36,000 --> 01:06:37,000
My pleasure.

664
01:06:37,000 --> 01:06:39,000
Which was better this season?

665
01:06:39,000 --> 01:06:43,000
Sanpedoria under Daversa or Sanpedoria under Gianpaolo?

666
01:06:43,000 --> 01:06:50,000
I think they were both shit, to be honest.

667
01:06:50,000 --> 01:06:54,000
I think Sanp under Daversa had some good moments,

668
01:06:54,000 --> 01:06:56,000
some very rare good moments.

669
01:06:56,000 --> 01:07:02,000
And under Gianpaolo some rare good moments, to be honest.

670
01:07:02,000 --> 01:07:05,000
I would say I think Daversa edges it ever so slightly,

671
01:07:05,000 --> 01:07:08,000
but it's because he had more time than Gianpaolo.

672
01:07:08,000 --> 01:07:10,000
I think Gianpaolo still has a lot of work to do.

673
01:07:10,000 --> 01:07:13,000
He needs a transfer market and all that.

674
01:07:13,000 --> 01:07:16,000
Of course we're not talking about Gianpaolo's first stint, guys.

675
01:07:16,000 --> 01:07:19,000
That stint was obviously objectively the better one.

676
01:07:19,000 --> 01:07:21,000
We're talking about this season.

677
01:07:21,000 --> 01:07:27,000
And quite frankly I do think that they look better under Gianpaolo.

678
01:07:27,000 --> 01:07:30,000
They look better under Gianpaolo when it comes to the way they play.

679
01:07:30,000 --> 01:07:32,000
But I'm not sure if the results have been better.

680
01:07:32,000 --> 01:07:34,000
I'd like to see a stat.

681
01:07:34,000 --> 01:07:39,000
Yeah, I'd like to look back and see who has fared better over there.

682
01:07:39,000 --> 01:07:42,000
But I think that's what I was about to say.

683
01:07:42,000 --> 01:07:45,000
I think Daversa managed to get more out of his players,

684
01:07:45,000 --> 01:07:48,000
whereas Gianpaolo gets more from his system.

685
01:07:48,000 --> 01:07:49,000
You know what I mean?

686
01:07:49,000 --> 01:07:51,000
It doesn't allow individual brilliance.

687
01:07:51,000 --> 01:07:56,000
He also has Sensi, which Daversa didn't have.

688
01:07:56,000 --> 01:07:59,000
Sabiri has been making appearances as well.

689
01:07:59,000 --> 01:08:02,000
He wasn't really under Daversa.

690
01:08:02,000 --> 01:08:05,000
So Gianpaolo has added a breath of fresh air,

691
01:08:05,000 --> 01:08:11,000
but at what cost when you lose a player like Candreva contributing so much?

692
01:08:11,000 --> 01:08:17,000
Your best player arguably, well definitely, clearly something's wrong over there.

693
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:22,000
So Lazio currently stand in fifth with 62 points,

694
01:08:22,000 --> 01:08:26,000
while Sampdoria are in 15th with 33 points.

695
01:08:26,000 --> 01:08:31,000
It seemed bizarre to me that we covered Lazio against Sampdoria

696
01:08:31,000 --> 01:08:33,000
before we covered Fiorentina Roma,

697
01:08:33,000 --> 01:08:37,000
but obviously we do this in order of the standings.

698
01:08:37,000 --> 01:08:42,000
This game was Fiorentina 2 Roma nil on a Monday night.

699
01:08:42,000 --> 01:08:45,000
The previous encounter was Roma 3, Fiorentina 1,

700
01:08:45,000 --> 01:08:47,000
so they are now level on aggregate.

701
01:08:47,000 --> 01:08:50,000
Roma were coming off a nil-nil home draw to Bologna

702
01:08:50,000 --> 01:08:55,000
and a 1-nil home win to Leicester midweek to reach the Conference League final

703
01:08:55,000 --> 01:08:59,000
with Sommar in the Ointiers and some beautiful moments for the city of Rome.

704
01:08:59,000 --> 01:09:03,000
Fiorentina coming off a 1-nil home loss to Milan,

705
01:09:03,000 --> 01:09:06,000
which they played the best team in the league so that was gonna happen.

706
01:09:06,000 --> 01:09:10,000
Roma had won each of their last five Serie A matches against Fiorentina

707
01:09:10,000 --> 01:09:13,000
and could become the first team to win against the Viola

708
01:09:13,000 --> 01:09:16,000
in six matches in a row in the competition,

709
01:09:16,000 --> 01:09:20,000
since Milan in 2008 and 2011 with 7.

710
01:09:20,000 --> 01:09:24,000
Obviously this did not happen as Fiorentina got away with a 2-nil victory.

711
01:09:24,000 --> 01:09:28,000
This was a massive match in the context of Europa League qualification,

712
01:09:28,000 --> 01:09:32,000
but unfortunately for Roma they just failed to show up.

713
01:09:32,000 --> 01:09:37,000
To be fair to them, there was a weird call instantly in the fifth minute

714
01:09:37,000 --> 01:09:42,000
as Guida possibly awarded the softest penalty of the season in my opinion.

715
01:09:42,000 --> 01:09:44,000
No penalty whatsoever.

716
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:50,000
Mancini with the slightest of contact on Nico González on the line of the area.

717
01:09:50,000 --> 01:09:56,000
It looked way worse slowed down. Honestly guys, he tapped his shin with his toe.

718
01:09:56,000 --> 01:10:00,000
Even slowed down didn't even look that bad. I'm so surprised he gave it.

719
01:10:00,000 --> 01:10:04,000
Apparently Banti was in the vatrum and he was the one who pushed for it to be given.

720
01:10:04,000 --> 01:10:07,000
The Bantisaurus Rex.

721
01:10:07,000 --> 01:10:10,000
In fact Mourinha had a lot to say about in the postgame.

722
01:10:10,000 --> 01:10:17,000
I'm sure. It was on the line and according to the rulebook of penalties,

723
01:10:17,000 --> 01:10:23,000
that is a penalty, Patricio ended up diving way too early as González simply went the other way.

724
01:10:23,000 --> 01:10:27,000
It was González who won it and González who stepped up and converted.

725
01:10:27,000 --> 01:10:32,000
It was just six minutes later in the eleventh that Bonaventura made it too.

726
01:10:32,000 --> 01:10:36,000
It was pretty much a solo goal even though it is listed as a Cabral assist.

727
01:10:36,000 --> 01:10:41,000
Bonaventura pretty much set it up himself with all the touches that he took.

728
01:10:41,000 --> 01:10:46,000
Zalefsky just defended poorly in my opinion.

729
01:10:46,000 --> 01:10:50,000
He was looking to defend the overlapping run instead of the man on the ball.

730
01:10:50,000 --> 01:10:56,000
It's in the fucking rule 101 of being a defender.

731
01:10:56,000 --> 01:11:02,000
It's interesting. That's what you get when you play these youngsters, these young players.

732
01:11:02,000 --> 01:11:04,000
That's why in Italy they're so despised.

733
01:11:04,000 --> 01:11:09,000
When it comes to making a decision sometimes, they're a bit slow.

734
01:11:09,000 --> 01:11:14,000
They're either going to give you a world-class assist in Europe like Zalefsky did.

735
01:11:14,000 --> 01:11:21,000
He has all media talking about you, including the English media, which is so typically harsh on an Italian team.

736
01:11:21,000 --> 01:11:24,000
So when they're praising a player, it's always good.

737
01:11:24,000 --> 01:11:26,000
Or else you're going to get an amateur mistake like this.

738
01:11:26,000 --> 01:11:30,000
This was a rookie mistake. You have Bonaventura running towards goal.

739
01:11:30,000 --> 01:11:32,000
He was just going to mark the overlapping run.

740
01:11:32,000 --> 01:11:38,000
He gave him so much time to tee up the shot and have it with his left perfectly placing it into the bottom corner.

741
01:11:38,000 --> 01:11:39,000
That was all Zalefsky's fault.

742
01:11:39,000 --> 01:11:45,000
It was. It was totally Zalefsky's fault, but probably knowing him, he will learn from it and he will be bigger.

743
01:11:45,000 --> 01:11:49,000
Later on there was a disallowed goal for Bonaventura.

744
01:11:49,000 --> 01:11:53,000
There was an offside in the build-up play. Obviously that would've been his second.

745
01:11:53,000 --> 01:11:58,000
Bro, I mean, from the get-go, it just seemed like Fiorentina's game.

746
01:11:58,000 --> 01:12:01,000
And it wasn't even because Fiorentina were outstanding.

747
01:12:01,000 --> 01:12:05,000
I think Roma looked uninspired. They looked out of ideas.

748
01:12:05,000 --> 01:12:10,000
They normally thrive from set pieces. It just seems like they didn't really get set pieces.

749
01:12:10,000 --> 01:12:19,000
Veretou seemed to be imposing himself a lot of all people in this game, trying to make something happen.

750
01:12:19,000 --> 01:12:24,000
While Zaniolo wasn't at the races, Tammy Abraham wasn't at the races, Pellegrini wasn't at the races.

751
01:12:24,000 --> 01:12:25,000
What did you make of this?

752
01:12:25,000 --> 01:12:30,000
So Mourinho started ten players who had featured on Thursday against Leicester.

753
01:12:30,000 --> 01:12:35,000
Mourinho said that the Leicester game on Thursday was physically and mentally exhausting.

754
01:12:35,000 --> 01:12:37,000
Of course, it's a European semifinal, right?

755
01:12:37,000 --> 01:12:38,000
Of course.

756
01:12:38,000 --> 01:12:42,000
He's right. About the penalty call, Mourinho was furious.

757
01:12:42,000 --> 01:12:47,000
You know what I mean? He said the game was decided by that penalty.

758
01:12:47,000 --> 01:12:50,000
And I actually think that Mourinho does make quite a few excuses typically,

759
01:12:50,000 --> 01:12:52,000
but this time I can't help but agree with him, bro.

760
01:12:52,000 --> 01:12:59,000
He said that the game plan coming into this game for Roma was to control and dictate the tempo at a slower pace

761
01:12:59,000 --> 01:13:01,000
due to the fact that they were exhausted.

762
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:08,000
Now when something goes against you like that, the injustice, you can't help but feel fucking rubbed.

763
01:13:08,000 --> 01:13:09,000
Of course, man.

764
01:13:09,000 --> 01:13:15,000
So you're suddenly tired, you're one nil down, you have to run more suddenly,

765
01:13:15,000 --> 01:13:20,000
because they're just going to sit back and they're just going to hold the ball and pass it around,

766
01:13:20,000 --> 01:13:24,000
and you have to fucking press and win the ball back and attack and actually do something with it.

767
01:13:24,000 --> 01:13:26,000
I found the quote quite funny, bro.

768
01:13:26,000 --> 01:13:27,000
What did he say?

769
01:13:27,000 --> 01:13:32,000
He said, Guida had a good game, he said, the referee of course,

770
01:13:32,000 --> 01:13:36,000
he said, but that Mr. Bunty from Livorno made a decision.

771
01:13:36,000 --> 01:13:41,000
He said it like three times, Mr. Bunty from Livorno, kind of like an I know where you live,

772
01:13:41,000 --> 01:13:44,000
I know who you are, I'm exposing the fuck out of you.

773
01:13:44,000 --> 01:13:46,000
What a dig that is.

774
01:13:46,000 --> 01:13:51,000
No, but like you're saying, the decision was weird and obviously that set the tempo in the game

775
01:13:51,000 --> 01:13:53,000
and really caught Roma off guard.

776
01:13:53,000 --> 01:13:59,000
And in fact, six minutes later, bro, a human error and then by an inexperienced left bag

777
01:13:59,000 --> 01:14:01,000
that has been performing so well.

778
01:14:01,000 --> 01:14:06,000
But, you know, played on Thursday, played again on Monday,

779
01:14:06,000 --> 01:14:10,000
he's been relied on a lot, obviously, because of Spina's injury,

780
01:14:10,000 --> 01:14:14,000
and it led to him making a rookie mistake really.

781
01:14:14,000 --> 01:14:20,000
So in 11 minutes, Roma were down bad because of a bad decision by the referee,

782
01:14:20,000 --> 01:14:25,000
well, by the VAR room and a bad decision again by their left back.

783
01:14:25,000 --> 01:14:28,000
So you don't blame Roma for being pissed off about this man.

784
01:14:28,000 --> 01:14:33,000
Yeah, even though they never reacted, granted me because they were tired, whatever,

785
01:14:33,000 --> 01:14:35,000
but it's true they never reacted.

786
01:14:35,000 --> 01:14:38,000
Yeah, they never reacted, but as well, you have to praise Fiorentina

787
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:40,000
for their capabilities off the ball.

788
01:14:40,000 --> 01:14:46,000
If there is a side that can keep their shape, if there's a side that can adapt to situations,

789
01:14:46,000 --> 01:14:51,000
it's Italiano, Fiorentina, they're great at defending off the ball, man.

790
01:14:51,000 --> 01:14:53,000
Unless they're playing good in airs.

791
01:14:53,000 --> 01:14:55,000
They're dark horse.

792
01:14:55,000 --> 01:14:56,000
Exactly.

793
01:14:56,000 --> 01:15:00,000
Fucking Tammy Abraham had a bad miss at the end of the game, bro,

794
01:15:00,000 --> 01:15:06,000
but that pretty much summed up that Roma display right in front of the keeper with his header, he misses it.

795
01:15:06,000 --> 01:15:08,000
Pellegrini had a free kick.

796
01:15:08,000 --> 01:15:10,000
Yeah, that was their only shot on target.

797
01:15:10,000 --> 01:15:12,000
Yeah, exactly.

798
01:15:12,000 --> 01:15:19,000
But at least I would like to see Roma break into fifth

799
01:15:19,000 --> 01:15:25,000
because as a culture fan I would much rather have them than Lazio in that position

800
01:15:25,000 --> 01:15:29,000
when it comes to club history and all of that.

801
01:15:29,000 --> 01:15:31,000
I prefer Roma as a club.

802
01:15:31,000 --> 01:15:35,000
Now this is me making claim on a neutral podcast,

803
01:15:35,000 --> 01:15:38,000
but I do prefer Roma as a historic club rather than Lazio.

804
01:15:38,000 --> 01:15:39,000
Neutral podcast.

805
01:15:39,000 --> 01:15:41,000
Controversial.

806
01:15:41,000 --> 01:15:46,000
But it is gonna be nice seeing Fiorentina in Europe again should they make it.

807
01:15:46,000 --> 01:15:49,000
This was a massive step in the right direction for them.

808
01:15:49,000 --> 01:15:52,000
And hopefully they bring Nintendo back as a sponsor, baby.

809
01:15:52,000 --> 01:15:55,000
Let's run it back.

810
01:15:55,000 --> 01:15:57,000
As you mentioned, bro, I'd just like to talk again,

811
01:15:57,000 --> 01:16:00,000
the conference league scenes for Roma were incredible.

812
01:16:00,000 --> 01:16:07,000
You mentioned Mourinho crying, there's the anthem, bro, the teefoi, the Roma, Roma.

813
01:16:07,000 --> 01:16:09,000
I was lucky enough, even you were lucky enough,

814
01:16:09,000 --> 01:16:12,000
to witness a packed stadium singing that.

815
01:16:12,000 --> 01:16:14,000
I watched Roma destroy Juventus 3-1.

816
01:16:14,000 --> 01:16:16,000
Maaadon.

817
01:16:16,000 --> 01:16:21,000
Salah, De Rossi, and Nangolan scored.

818
01:16:21,000 --> 01:16:23,000
My god.

819
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:25,000
Oh my god, that was peak Roma.

820
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,000
It was toti came on at the end.

821
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:29,000
It was Spalletti as manager, toti came on at the end.

822
01:16:29,000 --> 01:16:30,000
And Lemina scored for Juve.

823
01:16:30,000 --> 01:16:31,000
Yes.

824
01:16:31,000 --> 01:16:34,000
And he danced in front of us.

825
01:16:34,000 --> 01:16:37,000
There was Rudiger as well for Roma at that time.

826
01:16:37,000 --> 01:16:40,000
Manolas, the Greek god in Rome.

827
01:16:40,000 --> 01:16:43,000
I watched an interview with Peter Drury about that.

828
01:16:43,000 --> 01:16:45,000
He said he had to win himself some time

829
01:16:45,000 --> 01:16:48,000
because he didn't know who scored when it happened.

830
01:16:48,000 --> 01:16:50,000
So he just said, Roma have risen from the ruins

831
01:16:50,000 --> 01:16:51,000
because he had that listed.

832
01:16:51,000 --> 01:16:52,000
He was like, who the fuck scored?

833
01:16:52,000 --> 01:16:54,000
And I was like, Manolas!

834
01:16:54,000 --> 01:16:57,000
He's fucking Greek, the Greek god in Rome.

835
01:16:57,000 --> 01:16:58,000
That's incredible.

836
01:16:58,000 --> 01:17:00,000
Peter Drury is fantastic.

837
01:17:00,000 --> 01:17:02,000
Recently I saw a TikTok.

838
01:17:02,000 --> 01:17:04,000
I saw a TikTok about his day-to-day.

839
01:17:04,000 --> 01:17:05,000
I'd like to see more content.

840
01:17:05,000 --> 01:17:07,000
But it's weird because it's with his wife.

841
01:17:07,000 --> 01:17:08,000
It's shared with his wife.

842
01:17:08,000 --> 01:17:11,000
And it's like a cooking and commentary thing.

843
01:17:11,000 --> 01:17:12,000
I didn't see that.

844
01:17:12,000 --> 01:17:14,000
I might be using it with another one.

845
01:17:14,000 --> 01:17:17,000
But would it be a successful season for Roma

846
01:17:17,000 --> 01:17:19,000
if they win the Conference League?

847
01:17:19,000 --> 01:17:21,000
Let's say they come in sixth.

848
01:17:21,000 --> 01:17:23,000
I mean, Roma and trophies don't often go hand in hand.

849
01:17:23,000 --> 01:17:27,000
So any silverware for them is a success at any point in their history.

850
01:17:27,000 --> 01:17:31,000
And what do you anticipate for them next season under Mourinho?

851
01:17:31,000 --> 01:17:32,000
Better.

852
01:17:32,000 --> 01:17:33,000
They'll be better.

853
01:17:33,000 --> 01:17:35,000
They'll learn the Mourinho way.

854
01:17:35,000 --> 01:17:39,000
Let it be more that they need a good second pre-season under him.

855
01:17:39,000 --> 01:17:41,000
He needs to get a few of those Mourinho players

856
01:17:41,000 --> 01:17:42,000
that we often talk about over here.

857
01:17:42,000 --> 01:17:43,000
Those players with balls.

858
01:17:43,000 --> 01:17:45,000
Those players who will die on the pitch.

859
01:17:45,000 --> 01:17:49,000
He would have been so good with De Rossi and Nainggolan

860
01:17:49,000 --> 01:17:51,000
and the team come to think of it.

861
01:17:51,000 --> 01:17:54,000
But I think we can conclude this.

862
01:17:54,000 --> 01:17:58,000
Obviously, we didn't really praise Fiorentina much.

863
01:17:58,000 --> 01:18:00,000
But obviously a great result for them.

864
01:18:00,000 --> 01:18:01,000
They got the two goals.

865
01:18:01,000 --> 01:18:03,000
No matter how they came, they managed to hang on to that.

866
01:18:03,000 --> 01:18:07,000
And they stopped Roma from scoring, which is not an easy task at all.

867
01:18:07,000 --> 01:18:12,000
They're currently tied on points with Roma in sixth and Fiorentina in seventh.

868
01:18:12,000 --> 01:18:17,000
Both on 59, the only difference being four goals in favor of Roma.

869
01:18:17,000 --> 01:18:22,000
The next game we're going to be covering is Spezia 1-Atalanta 3.

870
01:18:22,000 --> 01:18:26,000
The reverse fixture was a 5-2 victory for Atalanta.

871
01:18:26,000 --> 01:18:29,000
Spezia, of course, were coming off that 4-3 home loss to Lazio

872
01:18:29,000 --> 01:18:31,000
while Atalanta were coming off,

873
01:18:31,000 --> 01:18:33,000
I'm not even going to call it disappointing

874
01:18:33,000 --> 01:18:35,000
because of the rate Salernitana are going,

875
01:18:35,000 --> 01:18:37,000
but a 1-1 home draw to Salernitana.

876
01:18:37,000 --> 01:18:39,000
And the rate Atalanta are going as well.

877
01:18:39,000 --> 01:18:43,000
The only previous home match for Spezia against Atalanta

878
01:18:43,000 --> 01:18:45,000
was the 0-0 draw back in 2020.

879
01:18:45,000 --> 01:18:46,000
Jesus.

880
01:18:46,000 --> 01:18:50,000
Now, in the 13th minute, Bastoni struck the post.

881
01:18:50,000 --> 01:18:52,000
There was a shot from a tight angle that was saved onto the post.

882
01:18:52,000 --> 01:18:55,000
In the 16th minute, Muriel turned it on.

883
01:18:55,000 --> 01:18:58,000
He did the thing where he kind of walks the ball into the box

884
01:18:58,000 --> 01:19:01,000
and just passes it in and no one seems to stop him.

885
01:19:01,000 --> 01:19:02,000
Everyone's like, where's he going to go?

886
01:19:02,000 --> 01:19:03,000
He's not going anywhere.

887
01:19:03,000 --> 01:19:04,000
You know what I mean?

888
01:19:04,000 --> 01:19:06,000
The whole phenomenal thing.

889
01:19:06,000 --> 01:19:10,000
In the 30th minute, there was a perfectly weighted through ball by Maggiore

890
01:19:10,000 --> 01:19:12,000
which broke Verde free.

891
01:19:12,000 --> 01:19:13,000
Verde took it in front of the goalkeeper

892
01:19:13,000 --> 01:19:16,000
and beat him with some trickery slotting at home.

893
01:19:16,000 --> 01:19:20,000
Now, this is where things started to get a little bit unfortunate for Spezia

894
01:19:20,000 --> 01:19:23,000
because in the 53rd minute, Bastoni went down injured

895
01:19:23,000 --> 01:19:26,000
and in the 67th minute, Agudelo went down injured.

896
01:19:26,000 --> 01:19:28,000
When they were down to 10 men

897
01:19:28,000 --> 01:19:32,000
before they had actually changed the player, they conceded.

898
01:19:32,000 --> 01:19:35,000
A free kick crossed by Cook Miners

899
01:19:35,000 --> 01:19:39,000
found Demerol at the far post who headed it to Gymsity who headed it home.

900
01:19:39,000 --> 01:19:40,000
Atalanta often do this, no?

901
01:19:40,000 --> 01:19:44,000
Crossed to a center back who crosses it to a center back who scores it.

902
01:19:44,000 --> 01:19:47,000
It's the balls to the far post squared into the middle on the head

903
01:19:47,000 --> 01:19:50,000
one of their big cunts and then just headed in.

904
01:19:50,000 --> 01:19:51,000
Literally.

905
01:19:51,000 --> 01:19:54,000
In the 81st minute, Boga hit the post from just outside the area.

906
01:19:54,000 --> 01:19:57,000
He struck the crossbar which would have been a fantastic goal.

907
01:19:57,000 --> 01:20:00,000
Then in the 87th minute, upon receiving the ball in the area,

908
01:20:00,000 --> 01:20:02,000
Muriel looked as though he was going to curl it,

909
01:20:02,000 --> 01:20:06,000
pulling all the defenders towards him and said he released it to Pasalic

910
01:20:06,000 --> 01:20:09,000
who finished it expertly into the bottom right corner.

911
01:20:09,000 --> 01:20:12,000
So bro, what did you make of this game?

912
01:20:12,000 --> 01:20:15,000
I think Spezia put up a good fight

913
01:20:15,000 --> 01:20:22,000
and they were very unfortunate to go down to 1 the way that they did initially

914
01:20:22,000 --> 01:20:27,000
and after that they kind of crumbled and there's not much they could have done

915
01:20:27,000 --> 01:20:31,000
to stop Muriel and Pasalic who were just on the right.

916
01:20:31,000 --> 01:20:39,000
They were unlucky, however Atalanta's firepower doesn't allow you to be unlucky

917
01:20:39,000 --> 01:20:42,000
and quite frankly they're going to capitalize from it.

918
01:20:42,000 --> 01:20:44,000
They are, they are.

919
01:20:44,000 --> 01:20:47,000
The typical Atalanta that we all know that will show up against Milan on Sunday.

920
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:49,000
But maybe they'll show up against the Spezia's.

921
01:20:49,000 --> 01:20:52,000
They dismantled them.

922
01:20:52,000 --> 01:20:55,000
What I said last week is that they show up in games like this

923
01:20:55,000 --> 01:20:58,000
so it really had a lot to say about Salernitana holding them

924
01:20:58,000 --> 01:21:03,000
because in situations like this Atalanta score 3, they score 4, they go on a riot.

925
01:21:03,000 --> 01:21:09,000
Do you think the likes of Spezia and Sambiduari are in danger bro at the bottom of the table right now

926
01:21:09,000 --> 01:21:11,000
considering the form of Giano and Salernitana?

927
01:21:11,000 --> 01:21:15,000
Like we've seen teams get relegated with 33 points before and they're both on 33.

928
01:21:15,000 --> 01:21:18,000
They are in danger, they are in danger straight up.

929
01:21:18,000 --> 01:21:20,000
There are two games left to play.

930
01:21:20,000 --> 01:21:23,000
There's potential of 6 points to pick up.

931
01:21:23,000 --> 01:21:24,000
They are straight up in danger.

932
01:21:24,000 --> 01:21:29,000
It'll be very odd to see Caliari for example pick up 6 points

933
01:21:29,000 --> 01:21:33,000
or Giano pick up 6 points that'll see Sambiduari or Spezia relegated

934
01:21:33,000 --> 01:21:38,000
and it would need to take something like that so they're probably fine.

935
01:21:38,000 --> 01:21:40,000
But you can never say this league has been so unpredictable.

936
01:21:40,000 --> 01:21:43,000
I mean Salernitana are out of the relegation zone.

937
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,000
Like that's how unpredictable it's been.

938
01:21:45,000 --> 01:21:47,000
They were dead and buried bro.

939
01:21:47,000 --> 01:21:49,000
Now in the 20th everyone had them out.

940
01:21:49,000 --> 01:21:54,000
We gave our bottom three so many times and it was Venezia surviving

941
01:21:54,000 --> 01:21:58,000
and Spezia going down and Salernitana always lost

942
01:21:58,000 --> 01:22:01,000
and it was Giano and Caliari and Giano and Caliari.

943
01:22:01,000 --> 01:22:05,000
Now we understand why it was so hard bro because none of these guys want to get relegated.

944
01:22:05,000 --> 01:22:08,000
So two games ago we have no idea who's going down, not even one team.

945
01:22:08,000 --> 01:22:10,000
Crazy. I love this league.

946
01:22:10,000 --> 01:22:12,000
I love it so much.

947
01:22:12,000 --> 01:22:14,000
Okay I think we can conclude this game bro.

948
01:22:14,000 --> 01:22:20,000
Matalanta of course keep pushing, they remain relevant with Fiorentina and with Lazio and Roma too.

949
01:22:20,000 --> 01:22:26,000
While Spezia of course are in 16th with 33 points.

950
01:22:26,000 --> 01:22:33,000
Yes sir, the next game we're going to be covering is the tight encounter between Sassuolo and Odinez in the mape that ended 1-1.

951
01:22:33,000 --> 01:22:38,000
The previous encounter in Odine was a win for Odinez with a score of 3-2.

952
01:22:38,000 --> 01:22:46,000
Sassuolo were coming off a 6-1 loss in Naples while Odinez were coming off a 2-1 home loss to Inter.

953
01:22:46,000 --> 01:22:52,000
Sassuolo haven't won any of their last eight Serie A games against Odinez now.

954
01:22:52,000 --> 01:22:56,000
Their longest ongoing winless streak against a single opponent in the top flight.

955
01:22:56,000 --> 01:23:00,000
Odinez will just do this, they just turn into people's bogey teams.

956
01:23:00,000 --> 01:23:06,000
I have a note here that says a trophy makes Dionisi look like a smurf.

957
01:23:06,000 --> 01:23:10,000
Do you care to elaborate on that bro?

958
01:23:10,000 --> 01:23:18,000
So I wrote this because I saw them shaking hands at the beginning of the game and Shofi is massive compared to Dionisi.

959
01:23:18,000 --> 01:23:25,000
Dionisi looked like a weird smurf with like a vest, we call it a tank top at St. Martins.

960
01:23:25,000 --> 01:23:28,000
Of course we call it a tank top at St. Martins.

961
01:23:28,000 --> 01:23:30,000
In the foye?

962
01:23:30,000 --> 01:23:36,000
Oh my god, the piazzetta.

963
01:23:36,000 --> 01:23:39,000
Where shall we have lunch today, in the foye or the piazzetta?

964
01:23:39,000 --> 01:23:41,000
Ma fuck that.

965
01:23:41,000 --> 01:23:49,000
In the sixth minute Skamaka opened the scoring so Raspadori twisted and turned inside the area and squared it to Scammy who tapped it in.

966
01:23:49,000 --> 01:23:55,000
Some brilliant work by Raspadori and again it's those two up front when it's not them two, it's Junior Traore.

967
01:23:55,000 --> 01:23:59,000
There just always seems something to be going on for Sassuolo unless they're playing Napoli.

968
01:23:59,000 --> 01:24:05,000
In the 77th minute this was weird because I didn't realise that it was a goal, there was no reaction whatsoever.

969
01:24:05,000 --> 01:24:08,000
You see a player of Udinez even put his hands to his head.

970
01:24:08,000 --> 01:24:16,000
So Noythink managed to tap in a rebound after Sopi's shot, he just kind of accepted that it wasn't a goal.

971
01:24:16,000 --> 01:24:22,000
He maybe thought it was an offside position or something of the sort but the goal stood and should've been scenes to be honest

972
01:24:22,000 --> 01:24:26,000
because it's a 77th minute equaliser for Udinez against Sassuolo.

973
01:24:26,000 --> 01:24:29,000
Once again nothing really to play for these guys.

974
01:24:29,000 --> 01:24:31,000
Yep, true.

975
01:24:31,000 --> 01:24:40,000
So when it comes to the talking points, firstly was there someone that edged it in your opinion, someone that deserved three points or was one point shared fair?

976
01:24:40,000 --> 01:24:50,000
So I think that this game was really tight but when it came to actually possession control it was Sassuolo who edged it.

977
01:24:50,000 --> 01:24:53,000
They didn't even edged it, they had 60% ball possession.

978
01:24:53,000 --> 01:24:58,000
I think they overall played better but then however, Consigli did keep them in it for some time.

979
01:24:58,000 --> 01:25:06,000
To be honest same thing could be said about Silvestri because both teams were just trying to get the better of each other and none of them quite managed.

980
01:25:06,000 --> 01:25:13,000
Once again maybe they didn't have that extra motivation to go the whole way but who would you rather have in goal, Consigli or Silvestri?

981
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:17,000
Excluding age, Consigli.

982
01:25:17,000 --> 01:25:23,000
I think he's a fantastic man that guy. I think Silvestri is a good shot stopper.

983
01:25:23,000 --> 01:25:24,000
Silvestri, Silvestri.

984
01:25:24,000 --> 01:25:25,000
What did I say?

985
01:25:25,000 --> 01:25:26,000
D. Silvestri.

986
01:25:26,000 --> 01:25:35,000
That's hilarious. I think Silvestri is a great shot stopper but sometimes you can question the way he controls his box, how he comes out for a cross, when he comes out and when he doesn't.

987
01:25:35,000 --> 01:25:42,000
I think it's unfair not to mention age because Consigli is way more experienced which points me to choose Consigli.

988
01:25:42,000 --> 01:25:52,000
I'd love to see how Consigli was at 31. Well it's just four years ago to be honest. I would still take Consigli.

989
01:25:52,000 --> 01:26:02,000
I would disagree with you and say I take Silvestri simply because of the confidence on the guy. I think he actually does control his area quite well, relatively well.

990
01:26:02,000 --> 01:26:04,000
Not as well as Consigli.

991
01:26:04,000 --> 01:26:12,000
Not as well as Consigli, no. But to be honest we've seen Consigli run out quite badly this season as well. We saw it at the Mape in person.

992
01:26:12,000 --> 01:26:16,000
He gave away a penalty, no? Had he? He foued Zerko.

993
01:26:16,000 --> 01:26:26,000
Yes, exactly. But anyway, Silvestri, I just love the fact that he trash-talks. He's a bullshit shithouse player. And he does pull off amazing saves.

994
01:26:26,000 --> 01:26:37,000
Bro, sorry I seem a bit lost. I'm just trying to think of the centre-backs name. Because you know how we say that Consigli doesn't get called Fertile because he wanks in the showers in the dressing rooms?

995
01:26:37,000 --> 01:26:51,000
I heard that Juninho is now the manager of Lyon and he was frustrated with a player and then in the dressing room apparently this player, he's a centre-back, he's a big centre-back, something with an M. Can you find out please?

996
01:26:51,000 --> 01:27:01,000
He got dropped. The last throw was when he farted in the dressing room and him and his teammates were all laughing and Juninho fired him like.

997
01:27:01,000 --> 01:27:03,000
Oh my god. Was it any of the Diomande?

998
01:27:03,000 --> 01:27:07,000
No, no. I think it's with an M dude. Marcello, Marcello, Marcello.

999
01:27:07,000 --> 01:27:11,000
So you're telling me Marcello farted in the dressing room and Juninho fired him?

1000
01:27:11,000 --> 01:27:22,000
Yes. It is exactly what happens with Consigli and his wanking in the shower. I am sure of it bro. It has to be. Consigli have never been called up. Exactly.

1001
01:27:22,000 --> 01:27:35,000
But anyway bro, again like you know we saw this Erling Haaland deal go through, 60 million right? The city. That really like makes me question fratese 40 million. Skamaka 40 million.

1002
01:27:35,000 --> 01:27:47,000
Well that's such an odd occurrence though, a player like Haaland leaving for 60 million. That is, you know, I look at everyone else and consider them stupid for not even stepping in and trying.

1003
01:27:47,000 --> 01:27:56,000
Like 60 million for Haaland is a steal. Fratese is not worth 40 million. No, I wouldn't spend 40 million. Not even in today's market.

1004
01:27:56,000 --> 01:28:07,000
In today's market I'd say his height would be 20k. Especially last summer joining Sassuolo, I wouldn't see him for 40 million at all.

1005
01:28:07,000 --> 01:28:14,000
Realistically I'd say Skamaka maybe is worth 30 million but even that's a bit stupid. He's done it for, he's done it for a season at all.

1006
01:28:14,000 --> 01:28:22,000
Skamaka will go for more than 30 million. Skamaka will go for 40 I would say. I think 40 million is the asking price for Skamaka.

1007
01:28:22,000 --> 01:28:31,000
Berardi I would say somewhere in the 30-35 million region. Raspador is probably in the 20 region I would say.

1008
01:28:31,000 --> 01:28:38,000
And Junior Trauer and then he'll be higher up. I think he'd be in the 30s. Something like that.

1009
01:28:38,000 --> 01:28:45,000
He has a bit more experience and then to the Prem he could go for 50 million. I have the Prem where to go for Junior Trauer that spent 50 million.

1010
01:28:45,000 --> 01:28:52,000
They might spend 50 million on any of these guys. Many wasted opportunities this game as we discussed before.

1011
01:28:52,000 --> 01:29:00,000
Aihon at the end of the game bro received the ball from a corner and folled it. He just went for power and he blasted it over the crossbar.

1012
01:29:00,000 --> 01:29:07,000
He could have easily scored that I think if he took it a little bit easy. Was it close? No bro he skied it.

1013
01:29:07,000 --> 01:29:16,000
He skied it and he was really close to the goal so it couldn't have gone too far. Okay I know the one.

1014
01:29:16,000 --> 01:29:27,000
So there were a lot of chances for Sassuala. I think I agree with you when you said that they probably were the better side in this game.

1015
01:29:27,000 --> 01:29:37,000
I think but however like you said it's two teams with nothing left to play except for them to prove that they are the better team over the other team.

1016
01:29:37,000 --> 01:29:45,000
Particularly a team like Udnes and Sassuala that both want to prove it. Other than that it's players trying to get a good move away for the summer.

1017
01:29:45,000 --> 01:29:53,000
It did end up in a 1-1 draw. I don't think there's too much to add about this game. Sassuala find themselves in 11th.

1018
01:29:53,000 --> 01:29:59,000
They are now under Torino on 47 points and they are 5 points behind Verona.

1019
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:03,000
Whilst Udnes are just 3 points behind them in 12th.

1020
01:30:03,000 --> 01:30:12,000
The next game that I am fortunate enough to be presenting to you is Venezia 4 Bologna 3.

1021
01:30:12,000 --> 01:30:15,000
And what a game this was guys. It was definitely the game of the weekend.

1022
01:30:15,000 --> 01:30:23,000
The reverse fixture resulted in a Venezia 1-0 away victory to Bologna. So Venezia have actually done the double over Bologna this year.

1023
01:30:23,000 --> 01:30:30,000
Venezia were coming off a 2-1 away loss to Salernitana while Bologna were coming off a 0-0 draw away to Roma.

1024
01:30:30,000 --> 01:30:34,000
The first Venezia double in the top flight against Bologna since 1942 by the way.

1025
01:30:34,000 --> 01:30:36,000
In the midst of a war dude.

1026
01:30:36,000 --> 01:30:42,000
Yes sir. A loss here would have officially relegated Venezia and they looked down and out for a while this game.

1027
01:30:42,000 --> 01:30:46,000
This is what we were discussing last time.

1028
01:30:46,000 --> 01:30:52,000
Whether you'd rather play a team that have nothing to play for or a team that needs something basically.

1029
01:30:52,000 --> 01:30:55,000
This was that case man. Venezia wow.

1030
01:30:55,000 --> 01:31:04,000
It all started in the 4th minute when Maempa launched the ball over the top to Henri who hit it first time.

1031
01:31:04,000 --> 01:31:09,000
Tripping it right over the goalkeeper and running off in celebration 1-0 Venezia.

1032
01:31:09,000 --> 01:31:12,000
Then in the 19th minute hops was tripped by Skorupski.

1033
01:31:12,000 --> 01:31:19,000
Kian took the penalty. It was saved by Skorupski who guessed correctly but the volley on the rebound was calm.

1034
01:31:19,000 --> 01:31:22,000
That was his first ever Serie A goal quite frankly.

1035
01:31:22,000 --> 01:31:29,000
It was a good take on the rebound to be honest. He did quite poorly on the penalty but scoring the rebound was off.

1036
01:31:29,000 --> 01:31:35,000
He followed up well. If you miss a penalty, best case scenario is you get the rebound and he got it so good on him.

1037
01:31:35,000 --> 01:31:40,000
In the 34th minute there was a tactical change. Orsolini was introduced for Arthur Theot.

1038
01:31:40,000 --> 01:31:49,000
Then in the 47th minute in the first half a perfect ball by Barrow from the left onto the head of Orsolini was the reason that they actually managed to get one back.

1039
01:31:49,000 --> 01:31:53,000
It was a good change by Maja Lovic who was there in the flesh by the way.

1040
01:31:53,000 --> 01:31:55,000
Lovely seeing him over there.

1041
01:31:55,000 --> 01:31:58,000
Smiling like such a guy.

1042
01:31:58,000 --> 01:32:08,000
In the 55th minute Arnautovic of course who else managed to get one back. Another perfect ball by Barrow to Desilvestri who squared it with his head to Arnautovic who tapped it in.

1043
01:32:08,000 --> 01:32:11,000
So at this point they're 2-2 and Venezia are thinking oh fuck we're slipping.

1044
01:32:11,000 --> 01:32:21,000
Then in the 68th minute it was Jeremy Shouten who received the ball just outside the area and took a few slick cool touches before shooting the ball over Mayenpan into the net.

1045
01:32:21,000 --> 01:32:23,000
He practically chipped him with a shot.

1046
01:32:23,000 --> 01:32:27,000
That is a sexy goal bro. Everything about it, the footwork to the finish. Insane.

1047
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:29,000
Quite possibly the goal of the week.

1048
01:32:29,000 --> 01:32:32,000
The goal of the week for sure. Definitely the goal of the week I would say.

1049
01:32:32,000 --> 01:32:40,000
And then in the 78th minute Medel clumsily kicked Aramo inside the box like no provocation. They just kicked him.

1050
01:32:40,000 --> 01:32:45,000
Aramo sent the keeper the wrong way. Trademark penalty and trademark celebration by Mattia Aramo.

1051
01:32:45,000 --> 01:32:56,000
And then while Venezia looked down and out of course Dennis Jonsson scored his first goal of the season. What a goal it was bro. Listen to the commentator.

1052
01:32:56,000 --> 01:33:06,000
And then in the 78th minute he sent the keeper the wrong way. Trademark penalty and trademark celebration by Mattia Aramo. What a goal it was bro. Listen to the commentator.

1053
01:33:06,000 --> 01:33:12,000
I think the fact that that commentator has that voice when he shows energy.

1054
01:33:12,000 --> 01:33:14,000
It's so funny.

1055
01:33:14,000 --> 01:33:16,000
Dennis Jonsson!

1056
01:33:16,000 --> 01:33:23,000
But it's so genuine. It's such a genuine reaction. And what a goal it was. They had every reason to react like that.

1057
01:33:23,000 --> 01:33:28,000
He controlled the ball with his outstep at an awkward angle on the edge of the area after only his shot had been saved.

1058
01:33:28,000 --> 01:33:31,000
In the air bro. In the air. It was beautiful.

1059
01:33:31,000 --> 01:33:34,000
And then he teed it up and just fucking curled it past the goalkeeper.

1060
01:33:34,000 --> 01:33:42,000
Literally two really slick touches by him and the ball is in the back of the net from the angle it was in like and the strike that he gave. Wow.

1061
01:33:42,000 --> 01:33:46,000
And it took Jonsson a long time to do something like this. It's his first goal in Serie A.

1062
01:33:46,000 --> 01:33:53,000
But I think he'll go down as one of the heroes in this tragic battle that Venezia are facing.

1063
01:33:53,000 --> 01:33:55,000
Especially if they manage.

1064
01:33:55,000 --> 01:33:59,000
Like, Venezia, they must be inspired right now after that.

1065
01:33:59,000 --> 01:34:03,000
But they're done dude. They're done. I think they're done bro.

1066
01:34:03,000 --> 01:34:11,000
It's funny because a game like this should show me that they're capable of doing it. They're capable of getting out of it.

1067
01:34:11,000 --> 01:34:13,000
Can you find out what games they have left please?

1068
01:34:13,000 --> 01:34:15,000
Sure.

1069
01:34:15,000 --> 01:34:21,000
But I think just the teams above them are such a step ahead man. Such a step ahead.

1070
01:34:21,000 --> 01:34:24,000
Like Salernitana are looking good.

1071
01:34:24,000 --> 01:34:30,000
Caliari are looking decent man. Genoa, you know, they just got that victory.

1072
01:34:30,000 --> 01:34:35,000
They have Roma at the olympic. Oh no. And then Caliari in Venice.

1073
01:34:35,000 --> 01:34:41,000
The Caliari ones, they can do it. They can do it. If they get something out of the Roma game, they take on Caliari head to head in the last game of the season.

1074
01:34:41,000 --> 01:34:43,000
What will they get something against Roma?

1075
01:34:43,000 --> 01:34:50,000
A draw against Roma is fucking difficult but it's attainable if you fucking park the bus well man.

1076
01:34:50,000 --> 01:34:56,000
Like they have a final. They have a final. Roma have a final in the conference league.

1077
01:34:56,000 --> 01:34:59,000
I don't know if that's close to the date. I don't think it is.

1078
01:34:59,000 --> 01:35:03,000
Let's see, this is on the 14th May.

1079
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:07,000
Conference League final.

1080
01:35:07,000 --> 01:35:13,000
Let's see. 25th May. No, it's after. It's properly after.

1081
01:35:13,000 --> 01:35:17,000
No, I don't think they can do it. If they do, man, wow.

1082
01:35:17,000 --> 01:35:21,000
But it'll take a massive slip up from the teams above them as well.

1083
01:35:21,000 --> 01:35:25,000
Crazier things have happened this year. Salernitana were down way worse than they were.

1084
01:35:25,000 --> 01:35:28,000
That's true. You're fucking right. You're fucking right.

1085
01:35:28,000 --> 01:35:34,000
Again bro, I just want to highlight again seeing Mahalović at the game was excellent.

1086
01:35:34,000 --> 01:35:38,000
It was. It was. He's a perfect example. A true professional, a leader.

1087
01:35:38,000 --> 01:35:43,000
He prioritises his work over anything, man. And that's honestly, it's beautiful to see his team, man.

1088
01:35:43,000 --> 01:35:45,000
You know, he's like their dad.

1089
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:51,000
He is. Obviously, I did see a couple of things written that were like they were on a great streak.

1090
01:35:51,000 --> 01:35:56,000
And then Mahalović showed up and then they suddenly lose to Venet.

1091
01:35:56,000 --> 01:35:59,000
Is there some things to say about? I don't think so.

1092
01:35:59,000 --> 01:36:02,000
I think he's basically the man in charge when he's not there as well.

1093
01:36:02,000 --> 01:36:04,000
Of course, he sets everything up, right? Exactly.

1094
01:36:04,000 --> 01:36:07,000
And they got close to winning this one. This is one of those occurrences.

1095
01:36:07,000 --> 01:36:10,000
And the tactical change was actually who brought them back into the game.

1096
01:36:10,000 --> 01:36:13,000
Exactly. The Orsolini-Theato swap. Exactly. That was a brilliant decision by him.

1097
01:36:13,000 --> 01:36:16,000
In hindsight, I thought it was, like in the beginning, I thought it was crazy.

1098
01:36:16,000 --> 01:36:18,000
But it turned out to work really well.

1099
01:36:18,000 --> 01:36:22,000
At the point I was wondering, is Arnautovic having his best season ever?

1100
01:36:22,000 --> 01:36:26,000
And then I checked and yes, bro, he has 14 goals in a season. This is his best ever.

1101
01:36:26,000 --> 01:36:30,000
His second best was with West Ham and I think he had 11.

1102
01:36:30,000 --> 01:36:34,000
He was good at West Ham. I remember people buzzing about him.

1103
01:36:34,000 --> 01:36:39,000
If we ever wondered where he'd fit in best, bro, being the main man of a mid-table team in Italy is the fucking answer.

1104
01:36:39,000 --> 01:36:40,000
He's fucking great there.

1105
01:36:40,000 --> 01:36:47,000
He could probably be, well, either Bologna would be like this next season or, you know.

1106
01:36:47,000 --> 01:36:52,000
I could see him going to Lazio with a good deal of strikes and he can swap with Immobile at that.

1107
01:36:52,000 --> 01:36:55,000
But then he's playing a more second fiddle. Exactly.

1108
01:36:55,000 --> 01:37:00,000
I could see him at that team fighting to reach Europe.

1109
01:37:00,000 --> 01:37:06,000
I could see him at Atalanta just as one of their options.

1110
01:37:06,000 --> 01:37:09,000
Just as one of their many options. They just bring him on.

1111
01:37:09,000 --> 01:37:12,000
47th minute, another shot. Muriel out.

1112
01:37:12,000 --> 01:37:15,000
Exactly. Classic Gasparini.

1113
01:37:15,000 --> 01:37:20,000
Imagine Zanetti managing Bologna next year.

1114
01:37:20,000 --> 01:37:24,000
Of course, not Zanetti from our intro. You're talking about the other manager, the Venezia one.

1115
01:37:24,000 --> 01:37:27,000
That would be very good, bro, I think.

1116
01:37:27,000 --> 01:37:30,000
He was playing good football with Venezia.

1117
01:37:30,000 --> 01:37:33,000
I think Venezia played really well, especially at the beginning of the season, so with a better team.

1118
01:37:33,000 --> 01:37:35,000
Bolognas have quite a bit of talent.

1119
01:37:35,000 --> 01:37:38,000
I think Zanetti could do a good job over there.

1120
01:37:38,000 --> 01:37:41,000
I don't like the sound of it, to be honest, man.

1121
01:37:41,000 --> 01:37:49,000
I think the turn that Venezia took and seeing Zanetti on the touchline, having altercations with the players as well,

1122
01:37:49,000 --> 01:37:54,000
maybe shows that he can't control the team in the dressing room, for example.

1123
01:37:54,000 --> 01:37:58,000
I haven't seen very naïve shouting at Wander in front of everyone.

1124
01:37:58,000 --> 01:38:02,000
I don't think I've seen enough to tell me this guy needs to level up.

1125
01:38:02,000 --> 01:38:06,000
I think this guy needs to go back to Berkline, his way up again, and then fucking try again.

1126
01:38:06,000 --> 01:38:11,000
Fair enough, he's still young, so it's part of the struggle.

1127
01:38:11,000 --> 01:38:16,000
Learning curve, exactly. It's part of the process. Everyone's process is different. I think that's the case with him.

1128
01:38:16,000 --> 01:38:20,000
But anyway, as per their league position...

1129
01:38:20,000 --> 01:38:23,000
We forgot to ride them this time, guys, so bear with us.

1130
01:38:23,000 --> 01:38:25,000
And Jake has a thousand tabs open.

1131
01:38:25,000 --> 01:38:28,000
I have one million, my god.

1132
01:38:28,000 --> 01:38:32,000
Why is the episode so long, bro?

1133
01:38:32,000 --> 01:38:34,000
Two hours in my...

1134
01:38:34,000 --> 01:38:35,000
Where are you coming from?

1135
01:38:35,000 --> 01:38:36,000
Two hours in my football, man.

1136
01:38:36,000 --> 01:38:37,000
What's he talking about me?

1137
01:38:37,000 --> 01:38:38,000
You don't know what to like.

1138
01:38:38,000 --> 01:38:48,000
So Bologna are in 13th with 43 points, while Venezia are 20th with 25 points, 4 points from safety.

1139
01:38:48,000 --> 01:38:51,000
So the last game we're going to be covering is... I was a fan of this game.

1140
01:38:51,000 --> 01:38:59,000
I think instantly when you see a relegation six-pointer like this between two direct rivals just above each other.

1141
01:38:59,000 --> 01:39:03,000
This was a close second for craziest game of the weekend on this one. This was fucking mental.

1142
01:39:03,000 --> 01:39:06,000
This was insane. I enjoyed this game.

1143
01:39:06,000 --> 01:39:09,000
And we were watching it and Flynn was watching it.

1144
01:39:09,000 --> 01:39:13,000
And he actually messaged us and said, are you witnessing this fucking madness?

1145
01:39:13,000 --> 01:39:14,000
Crazy.

1146
01:39:14,000 --> 01:39:17,000
Wow. Now we had a moment of aah, Serie A.

1147
01:39:17,000 --> 01:39:18,000
And all that.

1148
01:39:18,000 --> 01:39:21,000
The previous encounter was actually the exact same result.

1149
01:39:21,000 --> 01:39:23,000
It was Kalieri 1, Salernetana 1.

1150
01:39:23,000 --> 01:39:30,000
Salernetana were coming off a 2-1 home victory to Venezia, while Kalieri were coming off a 2-1 home loss to Verona.

1151
01:39:30,000 --> 01:39:39,000
Kalieri are now unbeaten in four Serie A matches against Salernetana thanks to 2-3-1 victories in 1999 and a 1-1 draw on the reverse fixture.

1152
01:39:39,000 --> 01:39:46,000
The last Salernetana win against Kalieri in all competitions was back in January 2004 in Serie A.

1153
01:39:46,000 --> 01:39:47,000
Whoa.

1154
01:39:47,000 --> 01:39:52,000
Mental. I lisped, but I don't feel like deleting it.

1155
01:39:52,000 --> 01:39:54,000
Keep it then, bro. Embrace it.

1156
01:39:54,000 --> 01:40:00,000
Exactly. Four weeks ago Salernetana were done, dead and buried.

1157
01:40:00,000 --> 01:40:09,000
But a miraculous month under Davide Nicola saw them pick up 10 points from a possible 12 leading up to this fierce relegation six-pointer, bro.

1158
01:40:09,000 --> 01:40:11,000
Mamma mia, man. Mamma mia.

1159
01:40:11,000 --> 01:40:14,000
Here we go at this point. I'm like, here we fucking go. I can't wait.

1160
01:40:14,000 --> 01:40:19,000
Alessandra Agostini's first match in charge of Kalieri after Mazzari sacking.

1161
01:40:19,000 --> 01:40:24,000
So obviously we kept our eyes quite closely on Kalieri in this one.

1162
01:40:24,000 --> 01:40:30,000
Also, before I get into explaining the game, what was with Serpes' eye?

1163
01:40:30,000 --> 01:40:36,000
Serpes suffered from a head injury in the last game and his eye, one of his eyes this game was black.

1164
01:40:36,000 --> 01:40:42,000
And you could see when he was talking to the opposition players, they looked terrified looking him in the face.

1165
01:40:42,000 --> 01:40:50,000
He actually watched a part of this game and when he came on the screen, she went, like, what the hell is wrong with his face?

1166
01:40:50,000 --> 01:40:55,000
He looked like he was in a music video and he was like a goth demon on a metal video.

1167
01:40:55,000 --> 01:40:59,000
Anything not to start. What's his name? The subkeeper of Salernetana.

1168
01:40:59,000 --> 01:41:01,000
Belec. Belec.

1169
01:41:01,000 --> 01:41:02,000
Anything not to start. Belec.

1170
01:41:02,000 --> 01:41:04,000
Poor guy is great though.

1171
01:41:04,000 --> 01:41:15,000
So the game didn't really open up until the second half. I would say both teams were really feeling each other out and kind of both being cautious in this relegation six pointer.

1172
01:41:15,000 --> 01:41:20,000
It was in the 68th minute and then that Verdi scored from a penalty for Salernetana.

1173
01:41:20,000 --> 01:41:26,000
So Kastanos demonstrated some unbelievable skill to be Treppitelli in this one.

1174
01:41:26,000 --> 01:41:28,000
So he let the ball run under his legs.

1175
01:41:28,000 --> 01:41:30,000
It was nuts like, well done.

1176
01:41:30,000 --> 01:41:36,000
Then he was tripped by Lovatos. He was about to destroy him too. He knew it. He knew it. He was fucking coming.

1177
01:41:36,000 --> 01:41:41,000
Verdi stepped up as intensely as ever and converts as he wheels away in celebration.

1178
01:41:41,000 --> 01:41:45,000
He's living his best life. He is. He is. He's really dramatic. He's theatrical.

1179
01:41:45,000 --> 01:41:50,000
The way he knee slides, the way he reacts. He looks like he should be a theater kid.

1180
01:41:50,000 --> 01:41:55,000
You know what I mean? 100%. I think theater kids are really cool.

1181
01:41:55,000 --> 01:41:57,000
Well done to you guys.

1182
01:41:57,000 --> 01:42:00,000
I doubt any theater kids are listening.

1183
01:42:00,000 --> 01:42:02,000
Stupid sports!

1184
01:42:02,000 --> 01:42:06,000
We have a lot of people at work that are from the theater background and they're insane at everything.

1185
01:42:06,000 --> 01:42:13,000
In the 73rd minute there was a massive fight, bro. There was Radunovic and Ribéry sent off from the bench.

1186
01:42:13,000 --> 01:42:18,000
The third keeper of Calliari and fucking Ribéry.

1187
01:42:18,000 --> 01:42:21,000
Fucking that idiot.

1188
01:42:21,000 --> 01:42:28,000
Ribéry, we shit on Ribéry so much. We're having him as a guest one day.

1189
01:42:28,000 --> 01:42:30,000
Ribéry, we're massive fans.

1190
01:42:30,000 --> 01:42:33,000
Ribéry had the number 7 shaped on his head.

1191
01:42:33,000 --> 01:42:35,000
Legendary clip.

1192
01:42:35,000 --> 01:42:40,000
Ribéry, though, he said he was ashamed to be associated with Salernitano.

1193
01:42:40,000 --> 01:42:44,000
He wanted to leave in January. He couldn't make his way fucking out.

1194
01:42:44,000 --> 01:42:47,000
And now he's going to join in the celebration.

1195
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:51,000
And even when they need him, in the last two games of the season, they could have used Ribéry.

1196
01:42:51,000 --> 01:42:55,000
He gets sent off for talking shit. Like, bro, you're like 40, man.

1197
01:42:55,000 --> 01:43:00,000
I think Ribéry has been upset for a very long time.

1198
01:43:00,000 --> 01:43:08,000
I think Ribéry, firstly he had all that drama surrounding him, those allegations rather than drama.

1199
01:43:08,000 --> 01:43:11,000
I believe he was fucking convicted for it. I don't know.

1200
01:43:11,000 --> 01:43:16,000
Aside from that.

1201
01:43:16,000 --> 01:43:17,000
He didn't do time.

1202
01:43:17,000 --> 01:43:20,000
No, he didn't do time. Either bail, I don't know.

1203
01:43:20,000 --> 01:43:22,000
Garrett?

1204
01:43:22,000 --> 01:43:24,000
Shut up, bro. What's this?

1205
01:43:24,000 --> 01:43:27,000
Trying to make a point here.

1206
01:43:27,000 --> 01:43:32,000
And then I feel like after he lost that ball on the door that he was sure he won it.

1207
01:43:32,000 --> 01:43:36,000
He won like FIFA men's best players, like this one's mine, boys. Step aside.

1208
01:43:36,000 --> 01:43:38,000
And he stormed out after he kept on saying things.

1209
01:43:38,000 --> 01:43:40,000
Got a really cool haircut for it.

1210
01:43:40,000 --> 01:43:44,000
Got a really cool haircut for it as well.

1211
01:43:44,000 --> 01:43:49,000
Literally. And I think he's been upset since then. I don't think he's recovered from that devastation.

1212
01:43:49,000 --> 01:43:50,000
It seemed like devastation.

1213
01:43:50,000 --> 01:43:53,000
And then it was like his free falling slowly.

1214
01:43:53,000 --> 01:43:55,000
First with Fiorentina he had a good moment, then he got injured.

1215
01:43:55,000 --> 01:43:58,000
He followed Ronaldo to Serie A because he wanted to prove a point.

1216
01:43:58,000 --> 01:44:01,000
Yeah, I forgot about it. Exactly, to Fiorentina.

1217
01:44:01,000 --> 01:44:04,000
And then he went to Salernitana. I was like, can they stay up with the signing of Ribéry?

1218
01:44:04,000 --> 01:44:08,000
He's barely ever healthy. Like, he's always fucked. He's always in crutches, man.

1219
01:44:08,000 --> 01:44:11,000
They should have Diego Costa, man, for shit.

1220
01:44:11,000 --> 01:44:14,000
But apparently he's really bad nowadays.

1221
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:18,000
Yeah, I heard that. But still, I think his character might bring something to Salernitana.

1222
01:44:18,000 --> 01:44:20,000
We're really getting sidetracked.

1223
01:44:20,000 --> 01:44:25,000
Seven to sixty minutes, Grassi clips the post with his long-grained effort.

1224
01:44:25,000 --> 01:44:28,000
He did play well, Grassi. I enjoy Grassi at times.

1225
01:44:28,000 --> 01:44:29,000
I do at times as well.

1226
01:44:29,000 --> 01:44:34,000
Then, you know, they're like, it's done. It's the 90th minute, 91st minute, 97th minute.

1227
01:44:34,000 --> 01:44:36,000
The VAR was the finale.

1228
01:44:36,000 --> 01:44:40,000
Exactly. Ninety-third minute. VAR, no penalty for Caliareta.

1229
01:44:40,000 --> 01:44:44,000
Originally looked as though Sepe had fouled a man in the area,

1230
01:44:44,000 --> 01:44:48,000
but he had initially been dispossessed as he had both hands on the ball.

1231
01:44:48,000 --> 01:44:51,000
Therefore, the foul was given the other way.

1232
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:56,000
So I didn't think he had it. Once it slowed down, he had the ball in his hands.

1233
01:44:56,000 --> 01:45:00,000
He had it for a while. And he was going down, it was probably going to bounce, but let's believe it.

1234
01:45:00,000 --> 01:45:04,000
It wasn't even a second that he had it in his hand. It was less than a second.

1235
01:45:04,000 --> 01:45:07,000
And the player ended up kicking the ball out of his hands.

1236
01:45:07,000 --> 01:45:08,000
Yeah, that's a foul.

1237
01:45:08,000 --> 01:45:13,000
At this point in the game, that was their chance. And it got VAR'd off, you know what I mean?

1238
01:45:13,000 --> 01:45:14,000
Fuck!

1239
01:45:14,000 --> 01:45:17,000
Then that's the finale. We thought, we're like, okay, we can tune out. No, wait!

1240
01:45:17,000 --> 01:45:22,000
Let me entertain you!

1241
01:45:22,000 --> 01:45:27,000
So obviously because of the long time that VAR took to resolve this issue,

1242
01:45:27,000 --> 01:45:30,000
the game went on until the 99th minute.

1243
01:45:30,000 --> 01:45:35,000
And remember when Petania got the latest goal in Serie A history early on the season in the 98th minute

1244
01:45:35,000 --> 01:45:40,000
for Napoli, Altare just scored in the 99th minute in a relegation six-pointer.

1245
01:45:40,000 --> 01:45:43,000
Stop it, like, stop it.

1246
01:45:43,000 --> 01:45:49,000
It was a corner from Baselli. It was headed into the back of the net by Altare.

1247
01:45:49,000 --> 01:45:53,000
Serpe's touch wasn't enough to keep it out. It was quite a good header as well.

1248
01:45:53,000 --> 01:45:55,000
Serpe did well to get a touch.

1249
01:45:55,000 --> 01:45:58,000
You can't really criticise Serpe for it, bro. At all. At all.

1250
01:45:58,000 --> 01:46:02,000
99th minute, obviously the scenes were immaculate. Salernetana shouldn't put their heads down.

1251
01:46:02,000 --> 01:46:06,000
This was a massive chance for them. I'm sure they can recover. What do you think?

1252
01:46:06,000 --> 01:46:11,000
I think Salernetana are so inspired right now that pretty much safety for them is guaranteed in my mind.

1253
01:46:11,000 --> 01:46:16,000
Yes, bro, because they have the easiest fixtures remaining as well if you want to check that quickly.

1254
01:46:16,000 --> 01:46:22,000
I'm going to check it quickly. I still wouldn't say that they're totally safe, man.

1255
01:46:22,000 --> 01:46:25,000
No, not that they're totally safe, but it's the fact that when you look at everything,

1256
01:46:25,000 --> 01:46:29,000
they have a better chance than Kaljeriev saying up, for example, or than Genoa.

1257
01:46:29,000 --> 01:46:32,000
Yes, they're the best of the rest at the moment. They're the best of the shit ones.

1258
01:46:32,000 --> 01:46:36,000
They have Empoli and Odinese. They can do it. They can do it. They can do it.

1259
01:46:36,000 --> 01:46:40,000
They can do it for sure. Will they is the question,

1260
01:46:40,000 --> 01:46:44,000
because Kaljeriev and Genoa then have more experience. Kaljeriev and Inter coming up.

1261
01:46:44,000 --> 01:46:48,000
Ay, ay, ay. Ay, ay, is the infamous three o'clock game, no?

1262
01:46:48,000 --> 01:46:54,000
Yes. They have Inter coming up followed by Venezia, of course.

1263
01:46:54,000 --> 01:46:59,000
Oh, how juicy, man. I just want to fucking fast forward time. I just watch these games, man.

1264
01:46:59,000 --> 01:47:02,000
I can't. I don't give a fuck about work right now.

1265
01:47:02,000 --> 01:47:06,000
God knows. I was going to say God knows what's happening at work at the moment.

1266
01:47:06,000 --> 01:47:11,000
It's really hands on. But I am very excited.

1267
01:47:11,000 --> 01:47:16,000
So this wasn't a football match, in my opinion. It was a movie.

1268
01:47:16,000 --> 01:47:23,000
Quentin Tarantino movie. Anemlai Shamelan. Exactly.

1269
01:47:23,000 --> 01:47:28,000
These notes are brilliant, bro. Thank you.

1270
01:47:28,000 --> 01:47:31,000
Jake came up with a lot of the humor in this episode.

1271
01:47:31,000 --> 01:47:34,000
So thank you to Jake. Everything was really funny. Well done.

1272
01:47:34,000 --> 01:47:39,000
I have a note here next. That says Ribery can eat shit.

1273
01:47:39,000 --> 01:47:46,000
He can eat shit, bro. He's the worst, Louis. He's the worst.

1274
01:47:46,000 --> 01:47:52,000
Brilliant. What did you make of Agostini's first match in charge for Kaljeriev?

1275
01:47:52,000 --> 01:47:57,000
I mean, at the end of the day, he can look at that match and say, granted, we didn't win,

1276
01:47:57,000 --> 01:48:01,000
but we're motivated heading into Inter and Venezia.

1277
01:48:01,000 --> 01:48:05,000
He might ride from this high. He might. They might make him look good.

1278
01:48:05,000 --> 01:48:10,000
It's true. It's true. Definitely. And I think now is the time where Juau Pedro says,

1279
01:48:10,000 --> 01:48:14,000
listen, we're going to have to save them. Belanova's like, this is what I came here to do.

1280
01:48:14,000 --> 01:48:19,000
There are a lot of side stories, individual stories there to prove.

1281
01:48:19,000 --> 01:48:24,000
Altari scoring the winner in the 99th minute. You mentioned Juau Pedro.

1282
01:48:24,000 --> 01:48:28,000
And instantly, as I said, I'm like, fuck it. We need to talk about it instantly.

1283
01:48:28,000 --> 01:48:33,000
So he leaves at the end of the season. Probably, yes. He leaves.

1284
01:48:33,000 --> 01:48:41,000
What kind of side does he go to? Now, it's weird because it seems like a team should play around

1285
01:48:41,000 --> 01:48:45,000
Juau Pedro's system. He's a bit of like a Benzema. He hangs back a lot.

1286
01:48:45,000 --> 01:48:48,000
He does a lot of defensive work. He fits into the pockets. But that's because he has to.

1287
01:48:48,000 --> 01:48:54,000
It's very similar to Bellotti. Exactly. So do you see him, is he that quality as striker

1288
01:48:54,000 --> 01:48:59,000
that he could go to the top seven? I see him, for example, at fucking Napoli.

1289
01:48:59,000 --> 01:49:03,000
I see him at Napoli as fucking Fiori team. But they're stacked.

1290
01:49:03,000 --> 01:49:06,000
I mean, Mertens, if they don't renew him, they have to bring someone in.

1291
01:49:06,000 --> 01:49:11,000
He's the perfect candidate. And I would even say at this point, sell Petania for like 10 million.

1292
01:49:11,000 --> 01:49:16,000
I would do it if I were in Napoli. And I'd get Juau Pedro. This would be his last hurrah.

1293
01:49:16,000 --> 01:49:20,000
And then he can go back to a relegation team in his later years. He's not the youngest.

1294
01:49:20,000 --> 01:49:26,000
He's not old either. Juau Pedro, I thought he was old recently as well.

1295
01:49:26,000 --> 01:49:30,000
I mean, he's like 32. I don't think so. I think he's like 29.

1296
01:49:30,000 --> 01:49:36,000
All right, this guy's 20. He's a Juau Pedro with what word?

1297
01:49:36,000 --> 01:49:41,000
He's 30 years old. He's in his prime. Now he needs to go exactly.

1298
01:49:41,000 --> 01:49:44,000
He could have another four years in him. He's that kind of striker that can mature nicely.

1299
01:49:44,000 --> 01:49:49,000
Two years potentially. And then go to a medieval team, then a smaller team.

1300
01:49:49,000 --> 01:49:54,000
Or stay up. That could be his spot.

1301
01:49:54,000 --> 01:50:01,000
But the scenes in this game were just immaculate. It's going to be really interesting to see how it's going to shape up on the last match.

1302
01:50:01,000 --> 01:50:04,000
It's going to go down to the wire, much like the title.

1303
01:50:04,000 --> 01:50:20,000
So there in the town are currently safe, but only one point ahead of Kaliyari, who are in the relegation zone with 18 points.

1304
01:50:20,000 --> 01:50:27,000
Welcome back to our question segment to drop us a question you can find us on Instagram or Twitter. Shall we?

1305
01:50:27,000 --> 01:50:31,000
Yes, I feel like this is your segment and I enjoy it being your segment.

1306
01:50:31,000 --> 01:50:37,000
I always seem to open it up. The transfer one was mine and I hated it.

1307
01:50:37,000 --> 01:50:43,000
There were a lot of mundane ones. I'm reading who went to Piers V. Eindhoven.

1308
01:50:43,000 --> 01:50:48,000
You know what I mean? My God. And the names that are so difficult to pronounce as well.

1309
01:50:48,000 --> 01:50:57,000
Those must be hilarious to Italian people. People thinking we're fucking Jamaican nowadays.

1310
01:50:57,000 --> 01:51:01,000
Apparently. But anyway, first question comes from our friend Mike who asks,

1311
01:51:01,000 --> 01:51:05,000
What do you make of the new rule being discussed about VAR?

1312
01:51:05,000 --> 01:51:12,000
Now, those of you who don't know, managers will probably be able to ask the referee to take a look at one or two incidents per game.

1313
01:51:12,000 --> 01:51:17,000
It's being highly talked about. I think personally it's a great idea.

1314
01:51:17,000 --> 01:51:21,000
You know, there's a lot of talk about referees and I think being able to challenge them is a good thing.

1315
01:51:21,000 --> 01:51:24,000
What do you think that it's to?

1316
01:51:24,000 --> 01:51:27,000
I think it's to avoid more controversy.

1317
01:51:27,000 --> 01:51:34,000
I think managers are going to need to be somewhat strategic because they blow the first one, for example, for a handball penalty.

1318
01:51:34,000 --> 01:51:38,000
And then the second one's down to the wire and there's something.

1319
01:51:38,000 --> 01:51:52,000
You have to tune a lot for example, you either wait for another potential one or do you just snap it up there and then I think considering there aren't that many controversial events per game, unless if they're behind, if they're trailing or draw the lowest contest.

1320
01:51:52,000 --> 01:51:58,000
And they need to limit the amount. People just fucking use it all the time for everything for a corner.

1321
01:51:58,000 --> 01:52:00,000
I think it's a good idea.

1322
01:52:00,000 --> 01:52:05,000
I think it's definitely a good start. It's going to be interesting to see how the two per manager plays out.

1323
01:52:05,000 --> 01:52:10,000
But I think that's the perfect way they could have started it. But we'll see.

1324
01:52:10,000 --> 01:52:16,000
Our next question comes from our boy Chris. He says, Fiorentina Roma Lazio, who is better?

1325
01:52:16,000 --> 01:52:18,000
I would say out of those.

1326
01:52:18,000 --> 01:52:22,000
I'm going to add Atalanta to Chris's question. I'm sure he doesn't mind.

1327
01:52:22,000 --> 01:52:24,000
I hope you don't mind Chris.

1328
01:52:24,000 --> 01:52:26,000
This season.

1329
01:52:26,000 --> 01:52:30,000
Yeah, right now. Right now. Not even the season. Right now.

1330
01:52:30,000 --> 01:52:34,000
I'd say Fiorentina are the best, which is controversial because there's Lazio.

1331
01:52:34,000 --> 01:52:36,000
But I'd say Fiorentina are the best out of those.

1332
01:52:36,000 --> 01:52:38,000
Right now.

1333
01:52:38,000 --> 01:52:45,000
I'd most likely agree with you. It's between Fiorentina and Lazio, I think. You're right.

1334
01:52:45,000 --> 01:52:49,000
I think Fiorentina are a good side. Roma are a very good side.

1335
01:52:49,000 --> 01:52:52,000
And so are Atalanta.

1336
01:52:52,000 --> 01:52:55,000
Let's rank them in order of form right now.

1337
01:52:55,000 --> 01:52:59,000
Not form. Who's better right now?

1338
01:52:59,000 --> 01:53:02,000
I'd put Fiorentina first.

1339
01:53:02,000 --> 01:53:05,000
Fucking hell.

1340
01:53:05,000 --> 01:53:08,000
Fiorentina, Lazio, Roma, Atalanta. Fuck it.

1341
01:53:08,000 --> 01:53:15,000
It's interesting. I'd probably put Roma over Atalanta. Particularly even because of the direct encounters. They just all went Roma's favour.

1342
01:53:15,000 --> 01:53:17,000
I believe it was the triple they did on them this year.

1343
01:53:17,000 --> 01:53:19,000
When it works for Atalanta, it works.

1344
01:53:19,000 --> 01:53:21,000
When it works for Roma, it fucking works as well, bro.

1345
01:53:21,000 --> 01:53:25,000
I would say... I'm not copying you, I swear.

1346
01:53:25,000 --> 01:53:30,000
But I would say Fiorentina, Lazio because they look better going forward than Roma.

1347
01:53:30,000 --> 01:53:33,000
I would safely say so. Roma are better defensively.

1348
01:53:33,000 --> 01:53:36,000
But then Lazio have more weapons going forward.

1349
01:53:36,000 --> 01:53:40,000
And obviously Atalanta.

1350
01:53:40,000 --> 01:53:43,000
Okay. I mean the same.

1351
01:53:43,000 --> 01:53:46,000
Atalanta are two form ridden at the moment.

1352
01:53:46,000 --> 01:53:51,000
When they're struggling, it doesn't seem like they're capable of being the team that's struggling and still getting points.

1353
01:53:51,000 --> 01:53:54,000
But they have Donkey Dick Duvon back, bro.

1354
01:53:54,000 --> 01:53:59,000
And that's gonna fucking terrorise Milan in front of our very eyes.

1355
01:53:59,000 --> 01:54:04,000
There's gonna be Luis Muriel, Pasalic, Duvon Zapata, these guys.

1356
01:54:04,000 --> 01:54:07,000
Coop Miners all again. They're terrifying.

1357
01:54:07,000 --> 01:54:09,000
They scare me, bro. They scare the fuck.

1358
01:54:09,000 --> 01:54:12,000
And there's that fucking idiot.

1359
01:54:12,000 --> 01:54:14,000
That's Tinkerbell on the side.

1360
01:54:14,000 --> 01:54:17,000
I hate him. I really know what I'm gonna tell him.

1361
01:54:17,000 --> 01:54:19,000
He looks like... What's his name?

1362
01:54:19,000 --> 01:54:22,000
The weird guy, man, with the fucking sex chain. Epstein.

1363
01:54:22,000 --> 01:54:24,000
He looks like Jeffrey Epstein.

1364
01:54:24,000 --> 01:54:27,000
He looks like Epstein and every gnome in the world.

1365
01:54:27,000 --> 01:54:29,000
I really know what I'm gonna yell at him.

1366
01:54:29,000 --> 01:54:31,000
If Milan win, Touchwood and everything.

1367
01:54:31,000 --> 01:54:34,000
I'm gonna shout kats out every day.

1368
01:54:34,000 --> 01:54:37,000
I'm just gonna tell him, balla Gasperini, balla Mr.

1369
01:54:37,000 --> 01:54:39,000
I'm gonna dance in front of the stairs.

1370
01:54:39,000 --> 01:54:44,000
But anyways, thank you to Mike and Chris for their questions.

1371
01:54:44,000 --> 01:54:47,000
Thank you guys if you tuned in and made it this far.

1372
01:54:47,000 --> 01:54:49,000
If you tuned in, thank you very much.

1373
01:54:49,000 --> 01:54:52,000
If you made it this far, how much money do I owe you?

1374
01:54:52,000 --> 01:54:54,000
You know what I mean?

1375
01:54:54,000 --> 01:54:56,000
We'll be back again next week.

1376
01:54:56,000 --> 01:55:00,000
We'll be back with some personal stories of our own from the match.

1377
01:55:00,000 --> 01:55:02,000
And we might be hoarse.

1378
01:55:02,000 --> 01:55:05,000
Yeah, we might be hoarse either in a good way or a bad way.

1379
01:55:05,000 --> 01:55:09,000
But we'll be back on time again and we hope you guys tune in again.
