1
00:00:30,000 --> 00:00:37,040
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Say Our Spotlight, we are host Jake and

2
00:00:37,040 --> 00:00:40,240
Matt and Milan have won the league.

3
00:00:40,240 --> 00:00:48,040
What a roller coaster man, what a roller coaster this season was, who would have thought in

4
00:00:48,040 --> 00:00:51,240
the beginning of the year that Milan were going to be crowned champions after they you

5
00:00:51,240 --> 00:00:52,240
know.

6
00:00:52,240 --> 00:00:56,560
No one would have thought that, we didn't film, we didn't record a preseason prediction

7
00:00:56,560 --> 00:01:00,640
episode actually so I wish we actually had done that because we would have had our predictions

8
00:01:00,640 --> 00:01:03,720
and we predicted after match day one right.

9
00:01:03,720 --> 00:01:05,340
Yeah, yeah I remember.

10
00:01:05,340 --> 00:01:07,520
But I had Milan finishing fourth, I don't know about you.

11
00:01:07,520 --> 00:01:12,200
Mine was third actually, I had Milan in third, I remember going into the season I thought

12
00:01:12,200 --> 00:01:13,200
Juve were going to win the league.

13
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:15,200
Yeah because they had Ronaldo still right.

14
00:01:15,200 --> 00:01:18,440
Yeah exactly I thought Atalanta were going to come in second, I thought Milan would come

15
00:01:18,440 --> 00:01:23,200
in third, Inter fourth and I thought that Napoli would miss out on Champions League

16
00:01:23,200 --> 00:01:24,200
football.

17
00:01:24,200 --> 00:01:28,960
But I had Napoli in my top four, I had Juve, Atalanta, Milan and Napoli in my top four,

18
00:01:28,960 --> 00:01:30,760
I didn't have Inter, I had Inter fifth.

19
00:01:30,760 --> 00:01:32,480
I slept on them.

20
00:01:32,480 --> 00:01:33,480
You're nuts.

21
00:01:33,480 --> 00:01:38,160
Yeah I've been a bit naive, I got too ahead of myself there, I saw Lukaku and all those

22
00:01:38,160 --> 00:01:43,280
guys leaving, Hakimi and of course replacements were not too standard.

23
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:45,160
But anyway Milan, Milan, Milan.

24
00:01:45,160 --> 00:01:49,280
Milan, champions of Italy, so in this episode basically guys we're not going to go into

25
00:01:49,280 --> 00:01:56,280
too much detail about the happenings of matchday 38 but rather we're going to be overlooking

26
00:01:56,280 --> 00:02:02,680
the entire season of Serie A 2021-2022 and giving our takes, talking about how the season

27
00:02:02,680 --> 00:02:08,000
went exactly and all this while we have the conference league final on the TV where Roma

28
00:02:08,000 --> 00:02:10,800
are winning 1-0 with the second half just under way.

29
00:02:10,800 --> 00:02:17,200
Matthew has hemorrhoids and has bet 159 euro on Roma to win this within 90 minutes.

30
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:23,720
Okay I have one hemorrhoid and I bet 139 euro that Roma are going to win this in 90 minutes.

31
00:02:23,720 --> 00:02:26,720
What's the return?

32
00:02:26,720 --> 00:02:27,920
318 euro.

33
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:31,120
Which you're going to use to remove your hemorrhoid.

34
00:02:31,120 --> 00:02:36,760
I'm actually going to use it to buy you all those kits that I owe you genuinely like.

35
00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:43,400
Guys those who have been following the podcast are very much aware that we made three bets,

36
00:02:43,400 --> 00:02:47,680
we had the prediction series which I have officially won with a total of 12-10 because

37
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,760
we didn't start it from the beginning.

38
00:02:49,760 --> 00:02:55,200
We had the Verona and Sassuolo one where I bet that Verona would finish ahead of Sassuolo.

39
00:02:55,200 --> 00:03:01,480
And we had that I said that Immobile would be top score and you said that Vlaović would

40
00:03:01,480 --> 00:03:02,640
be top score.

41
00:03:02,640 --> 00:03:09,480
And I've won all three and of course you must get me three kits and drive me 20 euros from

42
00:03:09,480 --> 00:03:10,480
Fanta.

43
00:03:10,480 --> 00:03:14,440
And that ends right there, he's livid.

44
00:03:14,440 --> 00:03:18,760
But yes obviously I put that bet over there bro so that I can start buying you kits slowly

45
00:03:18,760 --> 00:03:19,760
slowly.

46
00:03:19,760 --> 00:03:20,760
Nice bro.

47
00:03:20,760 --> 00:03:22,120
Just be patient with me obviously.

48
00:03:22,120 --> 00:03:26,080
So are you going to surprise me with who you'll get at the back of the kits or do I have a

49
00:03:26,080 --> 00:03:27,080
say?

50
00:03:27,080 --> 00:03:30,960
No I think I should surprise you just for the sake of it.

51
00:03:30,960 --> 00:03:35,280
I mean the kits that you want you're going to buy yourself anyway one day so let me get

52
00:03:35,280 --> 00:03:36,600
you a couple of funky ones.

53
00:03:36,600 --> 00:03:38,840
Sure I'm in for that.

54
00:03:38,840 --> 00:03:44,080
Just don't buy any kits in the meantime because we don't want to get the big ones.

55
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:50,000
So bro what did you make of the celebrations before we get into our tops, our flops, our

56
00:03:50,000 --> 00:03:52,580
dream team of the season you know?

57
00:03:52,580 --> 00:03:55,160
What did you make of the final game Milan against Sassuolo?

58
00:03:55,160 --> 00:03:58,640
It was done and dusted within 30 something minutes bro the game.

59
00:03:58,640 --> 00:04:03,600
Yeah I mean as Milan fans we're both shitting ourselves going into it because we know what

60
00:04:03,600 --> 00:04:05,800
Sassuolo are like.

61
00:04:05,800 --> 00:04:13,400
We know they're essentially every top team's dark horses and it ended up I mean Concilio

62
00:04:13,400 --> 00:04:17,640
was essentially Spider-Man between the sticks and it just seemed instant like we're going

63
00:04:17,640 --> 00:04:18,640
to run away with it.

64
00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:23,080
So much so that it almost seemed a bit anticlimactic by half time.

65
00:04:23,080 --> 00:04:25,720
The second half was just like okay.

66
00:04:25,720 --> 00:04:29,000
Everyone was waiting for Milan to win the league in the second half.

67
00:04:29,000 --> 00:04:33,200
Exactly and the acceptance had already kind of kicked in which removed some of the animosity

68
00:04:33,200 --> 00:04:36,360
that fans normally have when waiting too.

69
00:04:36,360 --> 00:04:38,400
Yeah that's totally true bro.

70
00:04:38,400 --> 00:04:41,200
In fact let me tell you I wouldn't have had it any other way.

71
00:04:41,200 --> 00:04:44,000
No 100% I enjoyed celebrating.

72
00:04:44,000 --> 00:04:47,120
Watching the second half relax is not something I thought that would happen.

73
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:48,840
I thought we're going in for a 2-2.

74
00:04:48,840 --> 00:04:52,400
Exactly and at the end of the day it still went down to the final match day.

75
00:04:52,400 --> 00:04:54,240
I mean it barely happens.

76
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:57,800
It happened in Serie A and it happened in the Premier League this year out of the top

77
00:04:57,800 --> 00:05:00,320
leagues otherwise they were walkovers.

78
00:05:00,320 --> 00:05:04,760
The celebrations obviously as a Milan fan I'm a massive fan of them.

79
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:06,960
I haven't stopped watching them bro.

80
00:05:06,960 --> 00:05:08,840
I love the shit housing.

81
00:05:08,840 --> 00:05:12,200
There's Theo screaming, Chala no glue.

82
00:05:12,200 --> 00:05:17,560
There's Zlatan saying what do we think about Hakann?

83
00:05:17,560 --> 00:05:22,760
There's a bra being thrown at Giroud.

84
00:05:22,760 --> 00:05:27,720
There's Giroud being way too drunk and Florenzi saving a ladybird from the flag.

85
00:05:27,720 --> 00:05:30,160
Everyone is so human it's brilliant.

86
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:34,200
There's Zlatan coming out with a cigar, Kalulu with a bottle of champagne.

87
00:05:34,200 --> 00:05:38,640
Calabria laughing his ass off the entire time.

88
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:39,640
Just fanboying.

89
00:05:39,640 --> 00:05:41,360
It's amazing bro.

90
00:05:41,360 --> 00:05:43,080
There's Leo crying with his family.

91
00:05:43,080 --> 00:05:47,320
All these scenes.

92
00:05:47,320 --> 00:05:50,520
This is the happiest I've been football wise since 2011.

93
00:05:50,520 --> 00:05:54,920
100% since the live Atalanta game up until this very moment.

94
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:59,320
Up until the celebrations in Hamroon.

95
00:05:59,320 --> 00:06:00,320
The game finished.

96
00:06:00,320 --> 00:06:06,120
Jake and I got a bottle of champagne and we went to Hamroon which is a red and black village

97
00:06:06,120 --> 00:06:07,120
in Malta.

98
00:06:07,120 --> 00:06:11,760
There's the Milan Football Club there established in 1979 and we went to party with a bunch

99
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:12,760
of animals.

100
00:06:12,760 --> 00:06:14,960
We thought we were the biggest Milan fans in Malta.

101
00:06:14,960 --> 00:06:18,600
A couple of fucking die hard fans over there.

102
00:06:18,600 --> 00:06:20,920
Definitely shout out Hamroon baby.

103
00:06:20,920 --> 00:06:26,520
Shall we read the scores of how it went so then we can kick back and just...

104
00:06:26,520 --> 00:06:27,520
Sure.

105
00:06:27,520 --> 00:06:31,920
So the matchday started off on Friday between Torino and Roma.

106
00:06:31,920 --> 00:06:38,160
Roma dismantled them 3 goals to nil thanks to 2 goals by Tammy Abraham and 1 by Pellegrini.

107
00:06:38,160 --> 00:06:43,640
There was Genoa nil Bologna 1 on Saturday afternoon thanks to a goal by Moussa Baro.

108
00:06:43,640 --> 00:06:47,800
Shortly after that there was Atalanta against Empoli and shockingly Empoli won away from

109
00:06:47,800 --> 00:06:53,360
home through a Stula goal in the 79th and a Bayrami assist making it 1-0.

110
00:06:53,360 --> 00:06:56,400
Fiorentina beat Juve 2-0 which was fucking crazy.

111
00:06:56,400 --> 00:06:59,600
And obviously Fiorentina as a result got conference league from that.

112
00:06:59,600 --> 00:07:03,240
It was a goal by Duncan and a last minute penalty by Nico Gonzalez.

113
00:07:03,240 --> 00:07:04,240
What a season he's had.

114
00:07:04,240 --> 00:07:08,120
It was Lazio 3-0 Verona 3 shortly after.

115
00:07:08,120 --> 00:07:13,080
Four of the more entertaining games this weekend thanks to goals by Cabral, Anderson and Pedro

116
00:07:13,080 --> 00:07:16,560
and on the other side it was Simeone, Lasagna and Hongla.

117
00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:18,800
It was Spezia nil Napoli 3.

118
00:07:18,800 --> 00:07:19,800
Napoli love a good 3-0.

119
00:07:19,800 --> 00:07:22,400
It was goals by Poletano, Zielinski and Demme.

120
00:07:22,400 --> 00:07:24,480
A rare assist by Petania.

121
00:07:24,480 --> 00:07:26,360
Very funny there.

122
00:07:26,360 --> 00:07:31,360
Inter also won 3-0 against Sampdoria but didn't even celebrate a single goal because Milan

123
00:07:31,360 --> 00:07:33,660
were also winning 3-0 at this point.

124
00:07:33,660 --> 00:07:38,400
Goals by Perisic and two by Correa.

125
00:07:38,400 --> 00:07:42,280
Then the biggest one Milan 3, Sassuolo nil at the Mappé.

126
00:07:42,280 --> 00:07:47,920
Two goals by Olivier Giroud and one by Frank Kessy for a beautiful send off and three assists

127
00:07:47,920 --> 00:07:51,320
by the league's MVP Rafa Leal.

128
00:07:51,320 --> 00:07:54,460
It was Salernitana nil Udinese 4.

129
00:07:54,460 --> 00:07:58,140
That wasn't enough to sink the Salernitana faithful.

130
00:07:58,140 --> 00:08:06,880
It was goals by De La Feo, Nesterovski, Udodji, Pereira and again a doppietta by Pereira.

131
00:08:06,880 --> 00:08:10,440
Venezia drew to Caliari which means that Caliari also got relegated.

132
00:08:10,440 --> 00:08:14,080
It was a nil-nil so no goals over there.

133
00:08:14,080 --> 00:08:17,320
Absolutely crazy finale bro.

134
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:21,760
The one thing I wanted to point out while you were reading those, there was Salernitana

135
00:08:21,760 --> 00:08:25,840
losing 4-0 bro and then celebrating wildly.

136
00:08:25,840 --> 00:08:29,800
I've never seen a team lose 4-0, I just run off in celebration doing laps around the stadium

137
00:08:29,800 --> 00:08:31,800
but to be honest they do deserve it.

138
00:08:31,800 --> 00:08:36,960
They do deserve it and let me tell you what man, Caliari do not deserve to sniff the Serie

139
00:08:36,960 --> 00:08:39,360
A for the next couple of seasons.

140
00:08:39,360 --> 00:08:42,000
I mean what a bunch of losers.

141
00:08:42,000 --> 00:08:48,680
I mean obviously I don't think they're losers, they're all doing much better than I am but

142
00:08:48,680 --> 00:08:54,160
from a Serie A context, from a competitive context in the biggest league in Italy, the

143
00:08:54,160 --> 00:08:59,800
team just did absolutely nothing to improve throughout the entire season and I think that

144
00:08:59,800 --> 00:09:03,520
draw against Venezia is a perfect showcase of that.

145
00:09:03,520 --> 00:09:07,520
Power to Salernitana for doing something to actually improve the team.

146
00:09:07,520 --> 00:09:11,800
I even show more power to Genoa who got blessed and they were actually on a streak and they

147
00:09:11,800 --> 00:09:13,360
improved the team.

148
00:09:13,360 --> 00:09:17,080
Caliari did none of that and they're just all defensive in the media now.

149
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:18,880
That's what you're looking up right now.

150
00:09:18,880 --> 00:09:26,920
In fact Giuliani, the famous Italian TV host, was interviewing Carressa.

151
00:09:26,920 --> 00:09:33,520
Carressa is the president of Caliari and Giuliani basically asked him a question and Carressa

152
00:09:33,520 --> 00:09:39,480
said like I don't want to answer because you've spread falsities about me saying that I'm

153
00:09:39,480 --> 00:09:41,480
going to sell the club and all that stuff.

154
00:09:41,480 --> 00:09:47,320
They got into a heated argument where basically Giuliani told them like maybe your mentality

155
00:09:47,320 --> 00:09:52,680
is outdated, maybe having three coaches in one season isn't the way to go.

156
00:09:52,680 --> 00:09:57,880
Basically Carressa took off his headpiece, slammed it on the floor and stormed out.

157
00:09:57,880 --> 00:10:01,400
You know, Caliari are going to have to make some changes if they want to see Serie A soon.

158
00:10:01,400 --> 00:10:07,360
Again, they're fucked because now they have to sell their best players at a heavily discounted

159
00:10:07,360 --> 00:10:08,360
price.

160
00:10:08,360 --> 00:10:13,160
That includes João Pedro, Bela Nova as well.

161
00:10:13,160 --> 00:10:18,320
Most likely, Nandez Marin, even Pavalecchi will probably leave.

162
00:10:18,320 --> 00:10:20,920
Craniot for sure.

163
00:10:20,920 --> 00:10:23,560
Even Lovato won't stay there.

164
00:10:23,560 --> 00:10:27,720
But yeah, absolutely crazy seeing Salernitana surviving.

165
00:10:27,720 --> 00:10:29,040
We rode them off ages ago.

166
00:10:29,040 --> 00:10:32,160
Remember that episode where like Salernitana is out there.

167
00:10:32,160 --> 00:10:37,640
Our weekly goodbye to Salernitana is what we had said.

168
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:39,320
What a beautiful league, man.

169
00:10:39,320 --> 00:10:45,440
But I think it's time we let the viewers, nor the listeners know rather, exactly what

170
00:10:45,440 --> 00:10:49,680
has gone down in the context of the league table.

171
00:10:49,680 --> 00:10:57,040
So obviously, league winners Milan, against all odds the youngest team to ever win Serie

172
00:10:57,040 --> 00:11:00,480
A. It was an 11-year wait as well.

173
00:11:00,480 --> 00:11:06,160
They drew level with Inter with 19 Scudetti a piece, obviously both a fair bit away from

174
00:11:06,160 --> 00:11:09,320
Juve, but both getting there, both teams are growing significantly.

175
00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:15,600
Inter, Napoli and Juve then form the rest of the top four.

176
00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:21,360
Lazio and Roma got Europa League in 5th and 6th with Lazio one point ahead of their local

177
00:11:21,360 --> 00:11:22,360
rivals.

178
00:11:22,360 --> 00:11:28,800
Fiorentina did just enough to get Conference League three points ahead of Atalanta.

179
00:11:28,800 --> 00:11:34,680
Like we said, Salernitana narrowly avoid relegation through one point, while Scaliari, Genoa and

180
00:11:34,680 --> 00:11:36,680
Venezia go down.

181
00:11:36,680 --> 00:11:41,920
So talk to me a bit about what a great achievement it is for Milan.

182
00:11:41,920 --> 00:11:49,560
So first of all, Milan fans and followers of the Serie A and followers of world football

183
00:11:49,560 --> 00:11:50,560
in general.

184
00:11:50,560 --> 00:11:54,200
Well, followers of world football in general have forgotten about Milan.

185
00:11:54,200 --> 00:11:56,440
The younger generation just wouldn't talk about Milan.

186
00:11:56,440 --> 00:11:57,960
I mean, there was no reason to.

187
00:11:57,960 --> 00:12:02,360
They're probably following the Premier League, Spain, La Liga and Milan hadn't been in Europe

188
00:12:02,360 --> 00:12:03,360
for a while.

189
00:12:03,360 --> 00:12:06,880
In the past eight years, I don't think Milan have been deemed a big club at any stage.

190
00:12:06,880 --> 00:12:08,640
There was a 10th spot finish.

191
00:12:08,640 --> 00:12:10,840
I mean, it's been pretty bad.

192
00:12:10,840 --> 00:12:16,120
There was Berlusconi holding on for too long, players coming in on free-aging players, no

193
00:12:16,120 --> 00:12:17,120
ambition at all.

194
00:12:17,120 --> 00:12:22,920
Then Milan were sold to the Chinese frauds, Yonghong Li and Han Li, those guys who couldn't

195
00:12:22,920 --> 00:12:24,560
basically keep up.

196
00:12:24,560 --> 00:12:28,560
And the club fell to Elliott, which were a big American hedge fund.

197
00:12:28,560 --> 00:12:32,680
And everyone was saying like, oh, Elliott are just going to do some minimal work to

198
00:12:32,680 --> 00:12:34,600
turn over the club for a profit.

199
00:12:34,600 --> 00:12:37,320
Little did they know the power of Elliott, man.

200
00:12:37,320 --> 00:12:42,240
Holy shit, the project they brought on Maldini, they brought on Gazidis, Massara, they brought

201
00:12:42,240 --> 00:12:44,560
on Pioli, they brought Zlatan back.

202
00:12:44,560 --> 00:12:46,880
All this shit was the turning point.

203
00:12:46,880 --> 00:12:50,080
The five nil loss to Atalanta was the turning point.

204
00:12:50,080 --> 00:12:52,280
It started the cycle.

205
00:12:52,280 --> 00:12:58,560
We saw it almost happened, second place last season, a good Champions League run, like

206
00:12:58,560 --> 00:13:02,280
a good Champions League run, meaning performance-wise, not results-wise.

207
00:13:02,280 --> 00:13:06,800
It had Milan fans believing, but then of course Milan fans are so used to losing and being

208
00:13:06,800 --> 00:13:09,100
disappointed that it's almost like, ah, this is normal.

209
00:13:09,100 --> 00:13:12,640
So then eventually when it goes down to the last day of the season, you're against Soswalo

210
00:13:12,640 --> 00:13:15,860
at draw, you start to believe and finally, boom, it happens.

211
00:13:15,860 --> 00:13:17,680
This is massive for Milan, the 19th.

212
00:13:17,680 --> 00:13:21,080
Scudetto, of course, fucking crazy.

213
00:13:21,080 --> 00:13:22,880
And the youngest side to ever win it.

214
00:13:22,880 --> 00:13:26,800
I like how you described what Elliott have done for the club.

215
00:13:26,800 --> 00:13:31,220
Obviously, Milan went through a couple of weird stages.

216
00:13:31,220 --> 00:13:35,360
At one point, they were a retirement home for Premier League players.

217
00:13:35,360 --> 00:13:40,960
Then there were players like Mena Zantarapte, who were aesthetically pleasing, but how much

218
00:13:40,960 --> 00:13:44,440
could they contribute to a top four side?

219
00:13:44,440 --> 00:13:46,760
Nothing is the correct answer.

220
00:13:46,760 --> 00:13:53,880
I mean, there was then that period with the new ownership where Luis Adriano, André Silva...

221
00:13:53,880 --> 00:13:57,200
And the financial fair play, you rip ban, I forgot to mention.

222
00:13:57,200 --> 00:13:58,200
My God.

223
00:13:58,200 --> 00:14:01,120
There were so many different stages that Milan went through.

224
00:14:01,120 --> 00:14:06,280
I remember at a point, I mean, Bonaventura was the key player of Milan for a number of

225
00:14:06,280 --> 00:14:07,280
years as well.

226
00:14:07,280 --> 00:14:08,280
Suso, relying on Suso.

227
00:14:08,280 --> 00:14:10,800
Relying on Suso for far too long.

228
00:14:10,800 --> 00:14:15,040
At a point it was Cotrone, who was the puntaccia, Alonoglu playing out wide.

229
00:14:15,040 --> 00:14:17,400
There have been many weird things.

230
00:14:17,400 --> 00:14:19,720
And every happy moment ended in sadness.

231
00:14:19,720 --> 00:14:25,080
Now, I know that sounds extremely depressing, but like Higuain arriving with Caldera, everyone

232
00:14:25,080 --> 00:14:28,280
freaking out, both of them.

233
00:14:28,280 --> 00:14:31,000
Higuain was never happy to begin with, Caldera flopped.

234
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:35,960
Bonaventura coming in, like, hey, fuck you, yeah.

235
00:14:35,960 --> 00:14:38,440
And then all of a sudden, this guy leaves.

236
00:14:38,440 --> 00:14:40,920
He's wearing the cap, he leaves within a season.

237
00:14:40,920 --> 00:14:45,400
I mean, Piontek comes in, this red hot striker, boom, boom, boom, all that stuff.

238
00:14:45,400 --> 00:14:47,560
And then all of a sudden he stops scoring.

239
00:14:47,560 --> 00:14:52,440
We have this generation goalkeeper between the sticks, this amazing talent who's going

240
00:14:52,440 --> 00:14:58,120
to be a Milan legend, overtake Buffon in legacy, leaves the PSG for free.

241
00:14:58,120 --> 00:15:02,200
Shalanoglu goes straight to Inter, like, starting Czechoslovakia off to Inter for free.

242
00:15:02,200 --> 00:15:04,120
You know, there have been many disappointing things.

243
00:15:04,120 --> 00:15:07,120
Kessy's leaving for free as well after saying he's the president, you know.

244
00:15:07,120 --> 00:15:13,480
So it's hard to be optimistic as a Milan fan, but this victory will start to make Milan

245
00:15:13,480 --> 00:15:14,680
fans dream again.

246
00:15:14,680 --> 00:15:15,680
For sure.

247
00:15:15,680 --> 00:15:19,880
And I mean, Milan went through every stage a team goes to when they're improving.

248
00:15:19,880 --> 00:15:23,280
I think we started being a bit hopeful, not that Milan would win the league, but that

249
00:15:23,280 --> 00:15:27,040
Milan would at least be competitive during the reign of Gattuso.

250
00:15:27,040 --> 00:15:31,960
I think we should show a lot of love and appreciation to what Gattuso did for the team because at

251
00:15:31,960 --> 00:15:34,720
least he instilled a bit of a team mentality.

252
00:15:34,720 --> 00:15:35,720
I feel like he did.

253
00:15:35,720 --> 00:15:36,720
It's true.

254
00:15:36,720 --> 00:15:38,240
Under Gattuso, Milan became a team again.

255
00:15:38,240 --> 00:15:40,720
It was then purely that refined the team.

256
00:15:40,720 --> 00:15:41,720
He brought the sauce.

257
00:15:41,720 --> 00:15:44,000
He brought the fucking sauce.

258
00:15:44,000 --> 00:15:48,960
So it's safe to say, bro, as Milan fans right now, we are freed from desire.

259
00:15:48,960 --> 00:15:51,720
Our mind and senses have been purified.

260
00:15:51,720 --> 00:15:52,720
I'm so relaxed, man.

261
00:15:52,720 --> 00:15:53,720
Exactly.

262
00:15:53,720 --> 00:15:54,720
I'm so relaxed.

263
00:15:54,720 --> 00:15:56,440
I don't have a worry on my mind at the moment.

264
00:15:56,440 --> 00:15:58,360
Thank you very much, Milan.

265
00:15:58,360 --> 00:16:08,080
But no one would have thought that this was remotely possible apart from Nigel de Jong.

266
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:09,880
But it was possible.

267
00:16:09,880 --> 00:16:15,040
Inter fell short in second, Napoli in third, Juve in fourth.

268
00:16:15,040 --> 00:16:17,320
How predictable was that top four?

269
00:16:17,320 --> 00:16:23,760
I mean, first place is a total surprise.

270
00:16:23,760 --> 00:16:27,360
Inter being there, I guess level-headed people, not myself, perhaps at the beginning of the

271
00:16:27,360 --> 00:16:29,440
season, would have put them there, I believe.

272
00:16:29,440 --> 00:16:32,080
Napoli, there are people who know Spalletti well, would have put them there.

273
00:16:32,080 --> 00:16:35,000
And Juve being fourth might be a surprise because people would have expected them to

274
00:16:35,000 --> 00:16:36,000
be higher.

275
00:16:36,000 --> 00:16:37,000
Yeah, that's true.

276
00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:38,000
Yeah.

277
00:16:38,000 --> 00:16:39,000
But other than that, bro, I wouldn't say...

278
00:16:39,000 --> 00:16:40,000
Not in the beginning of the season, though.

279
00:16:40,000 --> 00:16:41,000
Not in the beginning of the season.

280
00:16:41,000 --> 00:16:42,000
Yeah.

281
00:16:42,000 --> 00:16:43,000
No, you're right.

282
00:16:43,000 --> 00:16:44,000
At the beginning of the season, they actually dipped.

283
00:16:44,000 --> 00:16:45,920
Some people were saying they'd miss out on Champions League.

284
00:16:45,920 --> 00:16:48,120
I mean, Allegri was saying that they're battling relegation.

285
00:16:48,120 --> 00:16:50,080
You know what I mean?

286
00:16:50,080 --> 00:16:56,240
Look, the surprise might be some people believed that Mourinho could do it with Roma, get them

287
00:16:56,240 --> 00:16:57,240
top four.

288
00:16:57,240 --> 00:17:00,640
I personally thought it was too much of an ask in your first season.

289
00:17:00,640 --> 00:17:02,880
And then there's, of course, Atalanta who dipped.

290
00:17:02,880 --> 00:17:05,680
And to me, that's a surprise, them dipping out of top four because there were no signs

291
00:17:05,680 --> 00:17:07,240
leading to this.

292
00:17:07,240 --> 00:17:08,760
It happened so suddenly.

293
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,480
The injuries, Gossens leaving, all these things hit them really hard randomly.

294
00:17:13,480 --> 00:17:14,480
Yeah.

295
00:17:14,480 --> 00:17:17,720
And what was so charming about Atalanta was the very thing that killed them at the end

296
00:17:17,720 --> 00:17:21,760
of it, because even in the beginning of this podcast, we're talking about how versatile

297
00:17:21,760 --> 00:17:29,160
they are and how they can afford to make 10 changes going into a matchday because they've

298
00:17:29,160 --> 00:17:32,000
essentially got fucking two starting 11s.

299
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:33,880
And that was the thing that bit them in the ass.

300
00:17:33,880 --> 00:17:39,320
There was no continuity in the team and they just seemed to be lost in possession.

301
00:17:39,320 --> 00:17:43,640
I can't pinpoint a player that would have underperformed, but rather it was a whole

302
00:17:43,640 --> 00:17:48,360
shambolic performance by management, I would say.

303
00:17:48,360 --> 00:17:49,360
Totally bro, totally.

304
00:17:49,360 --> 00:17:54,840
It was a series of errors.

305
00:17:54,840 --> 00:17:56,480
Not a series of individual errors.

306
00:17:56,480 --> 00:18:00,400
It was a series of errors when it came to a management point of view, as you said, like

307
00:18:00,400 --> 00:18:05,160
again, like the whole Gossens thing, letting him go so easily to a direct rival in the

308
00:18:05,160 --> 00:18:06,160
middle of a season.

309
00:18:06,160 --> 00:18:08,080
What are you fucking crazy?

310
00:18:08,080 --> 00:18:09,960
Even bringing in Jeremy Boga was weird.

311
00:18:09,960 --> 00:18:14,040
It almost went it it contradicted the Atalanta way.

312
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:22,240
The Atalanta way is to splash small amounts on players who are unproven but show great

313
00:18:22,240 --> 00:18:24,840
promise and will fit the system like coupe miners.

314
00:18:24,840 --> 00:18:28,200
Coupe miners is a proper Atalanta find.

315
00:18:28,200 --> 00:18:29,200
Boga isn't.

316
00:18:29,200 --> 00:18:30,200
Boga was a big signing.

317
00:18:30,200 --> 00:18:32,600
In fact, I thought that since they're splashing so much, they must really believe in him.

318
00:18:32,600 --> 00:18:37,320
But in reality, anyone who observes the way they play would know that Jeremy Boga as a

319
00:18:37,320 --> 00:18:42,520
left winger primarily is not going to work in a 3-5-2 or a 3-4-1-2.

320
00:18:42,520 --> 00:18:43,640
He's not going to fit.

321
00:18:43,640 --> 00:18:44,640
And we've seen that.

322
00:18:44,640 --> 00:18:49,680
He seems so like he's either playing out wide on the left and he's got or else in the middle

323
00:18:49,680 --> 00:18:52,240
and he's kind of obstructing his own players.

324
00:18:52,240 --> 00:18:53,240
It's weird.

325
00:18:53,240 --> 00:18:55,560
You know, granted he might need time, but they really missed out the season because

326
00:18:55,560 --> 00:18:56,560
of that risk.

327
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:57,560
Yeah.

328
00:18:57,560 --> 00:19:00,200
And how do you think the top four perform in Europe next year?

329
00:19:00,200 --> 00:19:02,720
Obviously there is a history.

330
00:19:02,720 --> 00:19:06,800
Well recent history showing that Italian teams don't really perform well in Europe.

331
00:19:06,800 --> 00:19:10,360
I know we're seeing Roma in the conference league final right now, but it's the conference

332
00:19:10,360 --> 00:19:11,360
league.

333
00:19:11,360 --> 00:19:12,360
Let's be real.

334
00:19:12,360 --> 00:19:18,080
Milan, Inter, Napoli and Juve, do they have what it takes to, I don't know, reach a quarter

335
00:19:18,080 --> 00:19:19,360
final?

336
00:19:19,360 --> 00:19:22,200
I mean on their day they do, bro.

337
00:19:22,200 --> 00:19:27,480
I think Juve need some work, but judging by the rumors, you know, the fact that they might

338
00:19:27,480 --> 00:19:31,680
bring in Pogba and Di Maria, for example, you know, those two candidates alone can definitely

339
00:19:31,680 --> 00:19:33,400
get them out of the group stages, you know.

340
00:19:33,400 --> 00:19:35,960
Yeah, look what they did for United.

341
00:19:35,960 --> 00:19:38,800
Fair enough.

342
00:19:38,800 --> 00:19:40,640
You look at Napoli, Spalletti's done it.

343
00:19:40,640 --> 00:19:43,360
No, he has, in Europe Spalletti isn't that...

344
00:19:43,360 --> 00:19:44,360
No, no, no.

345
00:19:44,360 --> 00:19:45,360
He's not in the category, right?

346
00:19:45,360 --> 00:19:46,360
I don't recall.

347
00:19:46,360 --> 00:19:47,360
I don't recall.

348
00:19:47,360 --> 00:19:50,700
It was De Francesco that got Roma to the semis.

349
00:19:50,700 --> 00:19:52,280
So Napoli as well would be a tough ask.

350
00:19:52,280 --> 00:19:53,640
They don't quite have it in them.

351
00:19:53,640 --> 00:20:00,320
You know, the thing is Inter and Inter lately have been doing, they have been gaining Champions

352
00:20:00,320 --> 00:20:01,320
League experience.

353
00:20:01,320 --> 00:20:04,160
So I wouldn't be surprised if they actually go for next season.

354
00:20:04,160 --> 00:20:06,600
Then I look at Enzaki maybe and that's what puts me off.

355
00:20:06,600 --> 00:20:12,960
You know, however, however, I do have high hopes for Inter next year, both domestically

356
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:18,960
and both in Europe, at least if things remain similar to how they are now.

357
00:20:18,960 --> 00:20:25,920
I think a second consecutive season under Simone Enzaki, who had such an instant impact

358
00:20:25,920 --> 00:20:26,920
on Inter.

359
00:20:26,920 --> 00:20:34,800
And ending a season with 84 points and 52 in goal difference, it's a good start for

360
00:20:34,800 --> 00:20:35,800
Simone Enzaki.

361
00:20:35,800 --> 00:20:38,880
And I think for his second season, things can really kick off.

362
00:20:38,880 --> 00:20:43,360
And we saw them play good football against Liverpool in the Champions League.

363
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:45,440
And so did Milan, to be fair.

364
00:20:45,440 --> 00:20:52,240
So we could potentially see Italian teams start to compete, especially since, you know,

365
00:20:52,240 --> 00:20:57,320
Napoli brought Spalletti on and now it's the second consecutive season with them and

366
00:20:57,320 --> 00:21:01,880
he did well, but they were very unlucky and at times wasteful.

367
00:21:01,880 --> 00:21:08,640
Juve with Allegri, he's gotten them to a final before, you know what I mean?

368
00:21:08,640 --> 00:21:13,920
And I believe, no, I don't think he got them to a semi and then it was just the final.

369
00:21:13,920 --> 00:21:18,120
But continuity, now that there's continuity, I believe that Italian teams could potentially

370
00:21:18,120 --> 00:21:19,280
do better in Europe.

371
00:21:19,280 --> 00:21:20,280
I think so too.

372
00:21:20,280 --> 00:21:23,800
If you look at the Roman clubs, if Roma do win the Conference League by the end of this

373
00:21:23,800 --> 00:21:28,640
episode, they'll probably be announcing whether they have it or not.

374
00:21:28,640 --> 00:21:30,680
They might, you know, with Mourinho, he's done it before.

375
00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:33,920
Then you look at, for example, Lazio who have Sarri, and Sarri has actually won the Europa

376
00:21:33,920 --> 00:21:34,920
League before.

377
00:21:34,920 --> 00:21:37,840
Then you look at Fiorentina, who can potentially be a dark horse in the Conference League with

378
00:21:37,840 --> 00:21:38,840
Italiano.

379
00:21:38,840 --> 00:21:42,480
We haven't seen Italiano in a knockout competition before and a proper European one, you know?

380
00:21:42,480 --> 00:21:44,320
So it's very, very exciting next season.

381
00:21:44,320 --> 00:21:45,320
I already can't wait.

382
00:21:45,320 --> 00:21:48,340
The season's ended already and I'm already kind of, thank God there's the Milan victory

383
00:21:48,340 --> 00:21:52,320
hyping me up because I'd be kind of lost without you.

384
00:21:52,320 --> 00:21:56,280
But let's move to those two Roman clubs that you mentioned because they qualified for the

385
00:21:56,280 --> 00:21:57,960
Europa League.

386
00:21:57,960 --> 00:22:02,240
Now this to me is a good finish for Lazio and Roma.

387
00:22:02,240 --> 00:22:06,800
I think finishing in fifth and in sixth, I think Roma would just be pissed off that they

388
00:22:06,800 --> 00:22:07,960
didn't finish ahead of Lazio.

389
00:22:07,960 --> 00:22:10,560
I think that would have been their secondary goal.

390
00:22:10,560 --> 00:22:15,280
I think Europe was their primary goal being in the Europa League and then it's like, okay,

391
00:22:15,280 --> 00:22:17,360
we can't fucking get past Lazio.

392
00:22:17,360 --> 00:22:20,600
And they beat them in the derby, they beat them three goals and they still didn't manage

393
00:22:20,600 --> 00:22:22,480
to get ahead of them.

394
00:22:22,480 --> 00:22:25,480
How much of a kick in the ass is that for Roma, do you think?

395
00:22:25,480 --> 00:22:29,880
So I think Roma knew what they were getting into when they brought in Mourinho because

396
00:22:29,880 --> 00:22:32,360
Mourinho said in an interview to begin with, this is a project.

397
00:22:32,360 --> 00:22:35,800
This is a three-year project minimum.

398
00:22:35,800 --> 00:22:37,400
And you look at Lazio, they brought in Sarri.

399
00:22:37,400 --> 00:22:41,600
Sarri's system needs some time to be understood by the players.

400
00:22:41,600 --> 00:22:46,240
So I think that just achieving a European spot will help them continue with some serenity

401
00:22:46,240 --> 00:22:51,240
and actually enable the coaches to make some changes that are needed to really achieve

402
00:22:51,240 --> 00:22:53,000
their style.

403
00:22:53,000 --> 00:22:54,480
It's a good finish for them.

404
00:22:54,480 --> 00:22:55,480
It is a good finish.

405
00:22:55,480 --> 00:22:56,480
I agree.

406
00:22:56,480 --> 00:22:57,480
I agree.

407
00:22:57,480 --> 00:23:02,520
And Lazio particularly at a couple of periods, even more than Roma, I would say, they seemed

408
00:23:02,520 --> 00:23:05,640
to struggle when it came to getting things going.

409
00:23:05,640 --> 00:23:10,640
They were always good in front of goals, so they always got goals, but then recovering,

410
00:23:10,640 --> 00:23:12,620
taking shape, it seemed like they were struggling.

411
00:23:12,620 --> 00:23:17,120
But towards the end of the season, although they lost to Milan, for example, who fucking

412
00:23:17,120 --> 00:23:23,240
lifted the trophy, so it's not that embarrassing, Lazio improved greatly towards the end of

413
00:23:23,240 --> 00:23:24,240
the season.

414
00:23:24,240 --> 00:23:30,860
And I'm so pumped for next season because the top seven has now, because of this, become

415
00:23:30,860 --> 00:23:32,800
the top eight.

416
00:23:32,800 --> 00:23:39,800
I don't believe I've seen in recent history in Serie A, eight teams that can perform at

417
00:23:39,800 --> 00:23:42,920
the level that they do, eight teams that are a scare for everyone.

418
00:23:42,920 --> 00:23:48,920
Now I know you could say that, for example, Atalanta were being walked over and then by

419
00:23:48,920 --> 00:23:54,400
Milan beating them 2-0, for example, and losing by Empoli as well.

420
00:23:54,400 --> 00:23:59,200
And we saw some teams maybe not being that competitive, but it's still a very, very,

421
00:23:59,200 --> 00:24:00,600
very competitive top eight.

422
00:24:00,600 --> 00:24:01,600
I don't know who's going to get the trophy next year.

423
00:24:01,600 --> 00:24:03,200
Atalanta have new owners.

424
00:24:03,200 --> 00:24:04,200
They do.

425
00:24:04,200 --> 00:24:07,180
So we might see some serious investments over there.

426
00:24:07,180 --> 00:24:11,740
So at the end of the day, these eight teams in reality could all have a shout to finish

427
00:24:11,740 --> 00:24:12,960
top four next season.

428
00:24:12,960 --> 00:24:13,960
I agree.

429
00:24:13,960 --> 00:24:14,960
I agree.

430
00:24:14,960 --> 00:24:15,960
Best league in the world, baby.

431
00:24:15,960 --> 00:24:16,960
Best league in the world.

432
00:24:16,960 --> 00:24:19,640
No, I genuinely think so this season.

433
00:24:19,640 --> 00:24:24,000
Definitely Serie A takes the cake.

434
00:24:24,000 --> 00:24:26,120
I'm trying to think in an open-minded way.

435
00:24:26,120 --> 00:24:30,480
Probably the Premier League has obviously the best quality in the world at the moment,

436
00:24:30,480 --> 00:24:34,480
Liverpool and City essentially being the two best teams in the world and both in the prem,

437
00:24:34,480 --> 00:24:38,160
battling it out season by season, club versus Guardiola, that's insane.

438
00:24:38,160 --> 00:24:43,720
But when it comes to competition from first to fucking 10th, Serie A takes the cake.

439
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:44,720
No doubt.

440
00:24:44,720 --> 00:24:45,720
No doubt in my mind.

441
00:24:45,720 --> 00:24:47,520
The relegation battle till the very end.

442
00:24:47,520 --> 00:24:49,600
We didn't even know who was going to be relegated.

443
00:24:49,600 --> 00:24:52,920
Venetia were only relegated with three games to go, I believe.

444
00:24:52,920 --> 00:24:57,160
And then the other, the last team took till the last day and Genoa till the penultimate

445
00:24:57,160 --> 00:24:58,160
day.

446
00:24:58,160 --> 00:24:59,880
Bro, how big is this for Roma?

447
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:01,360
The conference league finals.

448
00:25:01,360 --> 00:25:02,360
It's massive.

449
00:25:02,360 --> 00:25:04,480
1-0 against Piano or the December 3rd.

450
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:06,200
Oh my god, Olivier just had it from like fucking...

451
00:25:06,200 --> 00:25:10,360
And it's something very, very to be honest.

452
00:25:10,360 --> 00:25:15,000
This would be massive for them, you know, just for the morale boost, just to keep their

453
00:25:15,000 --> 00:25:18,520
faith in Mourinho, to keep their faith in their players, you know, this would be massive

454
00:25:18,520 --> 00:25:19,520
for them.

455
00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:25,420
Even the fact that they'll actually have something in their dusty bonsai room.

456
00:25:25,420 --> 00:25:26,420
It's true.

457
00:25:26,420 --> 00:25:32,960
A trophy, be it whatever trophy it is, is big for Roma at the moment, just like it would

458
00:25:32,960 --> 00:25:35,240
have been for Milan in the past 10 years.

459
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:36,440
You know what I mean?

460
00:25:36,440 --> 00:25:40,120
So good on Roma and I'm excited to see them next year.

461
00:25:40,120 --> 00:25:43,640
Man, a summer under Mourinho, god knows who the fuck he's going to bring in.

462
00:25:43,640 --> 00:25:45,200
The lord knows the...

463
00:25:45,200 --> 00:25:47,360
He's the best when it comes to transfer market.

464
00:25:47,360 --> 00:25:48,360
Mourinho's the fucking best.

465
00:25:48,360 --> 00:25:52,280
He brings in some dudes, some serious mentalities.

466
00:25:52,280 --> 00:25:56,360
He originally started, in my opinion, at least I know Di Maria was performing and he was going

467
00:25:56,360 --> 00:25:59,440
to be picked up from Benfica, but he got him to Real, for example.

468
00:25:59,440 --> 00:26:02,360
He got Ozil to Real as well.

469
00:26:02,360 --> 00:26:07,360
The man is nuts when it comes to the transfer market, so I'm excited to see that.

470
00:26:07,360 --> 00:26:11,320
And Lazio, it'll be interesting if we will see them.

471
00:26:11,320 --> 00:26:12,320
Jesus, sorry.

472
00:26:12,320 --> 00:26:13,600
It'll be interesting if we see Lazio.

473
00:26:13,600 --> 00:26:15,600
Hang on to Maurizio, sorry.

474
00:26:15,600 --> 00:26:17,200
I think they will, to be honest with you.

475
00:26:17,200 --> 00:26:21,760
I think they'll splash in on Sergei Mlinkovic-Savic.

476
00:26:21,760 --> 00:26:25,120
They'll make some money, they'll reinforce other areas, particularly the defence, which

477
00:26:25,120 --> 00:26:26,120
is shambolic.

478
00:26:26,120 --> 00:26:27,120
Serious addressing Lazio's defence.

479
00:26:27,120 --> 00:26:29,040
I think it needs two signings at least.

480
00:26:29,040 --> 00:26:30,040
It does, yes.

481
00:26:30,040 --> 00:26:31,800
Perhaps even three defensive signings.

482
00:26:31,800 --> 00:26:36,160
But yeah, they could even get a keeper, because you know, Strakosha hasn't been the best.

483
00:26:36,160 --> 00:26:40,480
Strakosha, he's in a top seven team, but he doesn't make my top seven goalkeepers.

484
00:26:40,480 --> 00:26:41,480
Yeah, and then he definitely...

485
00:26:41,480 --> 00:26:42,480
Probably not even my top ten.

486
00:26:42,480 --> 00:26:44,480
Bro, bro, bro, I heard Vicario to Fiorentina.

487
00:26:44,480 --> 00:26:46,120
That would be so nice, bro.

488
00:26:46,120 --> 00:26:49,320
I want to see Vicario at a top level.

489
00:26:49,320 --> 00:26:51,520
I would like to see him competing with the bigger teams.

490
00:26:51,520 --> 00:26:52,520
He's fantastic.

491
00:26:52,520 --> 00:26:55,480
We'll get to talk about Vicario, however, later on.

492
00:26:55,480 --> 00:26:56,480
But you mentioned Fiorentina.

493
00:26:56,480 --> 00:27:00,040
Fiorentina finished seventh ahead of Atalanta.

494
00:27:00,040 --> 00:27:01,760
What a massive season for Atalanta.

495
00:27:01,760 --> 00:27:04,880
Now I know there was a point for Fiorentina, sorry.

496
00:27:04,880 --> 00:27:08,720
I know there was a point that we're talking about Fiorentina on top four.

497
00:27:08,720 --> 00:27:13,940
We always said it's unrealistic, but they were fucking there and they ended up in seventh

498
00:27:13,940 --> 00:27:16,360
rather than, you know, Europa League.

499
00:27:16,360 --> 00:27:20,320
But still, what a massive, massive achievement with all the odds against them in the final

500
00:27:20,320 --> 00:27:21,320
day.

501
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:26,680
The foundation was kind of laid a while back signings-wise.

502
00:27:26,680 --> 00:27:31,480
The manager, as I've mentioned a million times on this podcast, you know, Commissar keeping

503
00:27:31,480 --> 00:27:34,600
Iacchini and standing by him was a mistake in my opinion.

504
00:27:34,600 --> 00:27:40,360
It was very clear that Iacchini was a relegation dogfight manager, a mid-table manager at best.

505
00:27:40,360 --> 00:27:42,640
So like it was quite unambitious to keep him on.

506
00:27:42,640 --> 00:27:47,080
But you know, they brought on Italiano, they have those players, you know, like Jacopo

507
00:27:47,080 --> 00:27:49,840
Naventura, they have a few like seasoned players out there.

508
00:27:49,840 --> 00:27:52,680
They brought in a few hot talents like Icona and Nico Gonzalez.

509
00:27:52,680 --> 00:27:58,440
They essentially had four wingers playing 50-50 every single game.

510
00:27:58,440 --> 00:28:01,880
And with the tools they had and the manager they had, he managed to express himself and

511
00:28:01,880 --> 00:28:03,320
to express his style.

512
00:28:03,320 --> 00:28:07,320
They were fancy, they were fun to watch and they actually finished in a respectable position.

513
00:28:07,320 --> 00:28:11,960
And obviously for the first six months they had fucking Vlachovic up front.

514
00:28:11,960 --> 00:28:13,040
That fucking helped them a lot.

515
00:28:13,040 --> 00:28:18,400
I was taking a look at Fiorentina's past fixtures today to see who they did well against, who

516
00:28:18,400 --> 00:28:20,640
they didn't do well against.

517
00:28:20,640 --> 00:28:25,080
And I was seeing the goals scored by them in every fixture and every fixture is just

518
00:28:25,080 --> 00:28:28,880
one goal of Vlachovic, two goals of Vlachovic, one goal of Vlachovic.

519
00:28:28,880 --> 00:28:34,200
Crazy man, he had such an epic season at Fiorentina.

520
00:28:34,200 --> 00:28:38,520
Now obviously let's not go into how he's doing at Juve right now because we'll get stuck

521
00:28:38,520 --> 00:28:40,960
in another rut.

522
00:28:40,960 --> 00:28:46,800
Obviously disappointing for Atalanta to come in eighth, but shall we shift our focus to

523
00:28:46,800 --> 00:28:48,040
the relegation battle?

524
00:28:48,040 --> 00:28:49,040
Sure.

525
00:28:49,040 --> 00:28:51,960
So we've already talked about Salernitana and Caleri briefly.

526
00:28:51,960 --> 00:28:55,440
Massive achievement for Salernitana of course to survive.

527
00:28:55,440 --> 00:28:57,120
We had them down and out.

528
00:28:57,120 --> 00:28:59,520
Our weekly goodbye to Salernitana, all that.

529
00:28:59,520 --> 00:29:00,720
What's he gonna do Nicola?

530
00:29:00,720 --> 00:29:04,600
He has to walk from Salerno to Rome.

531
00:29:04,600 --> 00:29:06,000
Jesus fucking Christ.

532
00:29:06,000 --> 00:29:07,000
To the Vatican I believe.

533
00:29:07,000 --> 00:29:08,000
Lalla Madonna.

534
00:29:08,000 --> 00:29:10,000
You know what you're saying man.

535
00:29:10,000 --> 00:29:13,600
He's gonna walk it to the Vatican from like where he lives.

536
00:29:13,600 --> 00:29:16,280
By the time he arrives he's gonna be a corpse.

537
00:29:16,280 --> 00:29:20,960
Me that will be champions of Europe by the time he arrives.

538
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:23,160
He's not gonna make it in time for pre-season.

539
00:29:23,160 --> 00:29:24,160
You know what?

540
00:29:24,160 --> 00:29:25,160
Walk Davide.

541
00:29:25,160 --> 00:29:26,160
Fucking walk brother.

542
00:29:26,160 --> 00:29:27,160
Walk.

543
00:29:27,160 --> 00:29:28,160
Walk.

544
00:29:28,160 --> 00:29:29,560
He deserves every second of it man.

545
00:29:29,560 --> 00:29:31,520
But like what the fuck do they do now?

546
00:29:31,520 --> 00:29:36,160
Do they keep him on for another season or is it like that's what we got him for and

547
00:29:36,160 --> 00:29:37,160
now he's off?

548
00:29:37,160 --> 00:29:38,760
You have to keep the guy on.

549
00:29:38,760 --> 00:29:41,600
Granted he'll be gone by halfway through the next season.

550
00:29:41,600 --> 00:29:44,240
He's a cheat code when a team's battling relegation.

551
00:29:44,240 --> 00:29:48,360
This was even more impressive than his crotone feat.

552
00:29:48,360 --> 00:29:53,160
So hard to call crotone and not cutrone.

553
00:29:53,160 --> 00:29:55,120
Sometimes this comes out.

554
00:29:55,120 --> 00:29:56,120
It's true.

555
00:29:56,120 --> 00:29:57,120
It's true.

556
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,800
We spoke about Cali are being fucking losers and I think we can keep it at that to be honest.

557
00:30:01,800 --> 00:30:04,440
They're gonna get raised, they're gonna get fucked and they're probably gonna get sold.

558
00:30:04,440 --> 00:30:05,440
You think so?

559
00:30:05,440 --> 00:30:07,760
Well it was already brought up to them.

560
00:30:07,760 --> 00:30:09,400
It comes as no surprise.

561
00:30:09,400 --> 00:30:14,040
It depends on his pride now we'll see because of that public fallout he might actually hang

562
00:30:14,040 --> 00:30:15,040
on.

563
00:30:15,040 --> 00:30:19,480
How could you have bro, João Pedro up front?

564
00:30:19,480 --> 00:30:24,440
João Pedro, goals this season, how many goals does João Pedro have this season?

565
00:30:24,440 --> 00:30:29,040
How could you have a striker that gets you 13 goals and god knows how many assists?

566
00:30:29,040 --> 00:30:32,640
One of the best strikers in the league who could play for the top 7, okay he'll probably

567
00:30:32,640 --> 00:30:37,560
be second fiddle but he can be there and he can be competitive over there.

568
00:30:37,560 --> 00:30:42,280
How could you have that and you still get relegated?

569
00:30:42,280 --> 00:30:46,640
I mean it's not only the fact that they have João Pedro, I mean it's the players around

570
00:30:46,640 --> 00:30:47,640
them who are actually...

571
00:30:47,640 --> 00:30:51,480
They have Cranio between the sticks, they have Nandez, Marion Roggue.

572
00:30:51,480 --> 00:30:53,480
Altair isn't even a bad defender.

573
00:30:53,480 --> 00:30:56,400
Teo Lazbeen good, Bela Nova.

574
00:30:56,400 --> 00:31:00,400
Exactly, they have Dulbert, they have good tools, they have seasoned Serie A players,

575
00:31:00,400 --> 00:31:04,920
not to mention Nandez even though he was out for quite a while, they have Keita Baldebro.

576
00:31:04,920 --> 00:31:08,560
They have enough to finish just outside the relegation pool.

577
00:31:08,560 --> 00:31:09,600
For sure, for sure.

578
00:31:09,600 --> 00:31:12,960
They can finish ahead of Spezia, I mean they could be battling out for tempo.

579
00:31:12,960 --> 00:31:18,120
Spezia are much worse individually, look at Spezia, they are way worse, way worse in every

580
00:31:18,120 --> 00:31:19,120
position.

581
00:31:19,120 --> 00:31:26,840
So like Caliari, I'm the least upset of the lot to see them go probably out of the bottom

582
00:31:26,840 --> 00:31:29,640
3, I'm the least upset to see Caliari go down.

583
00:31:29,640 --> 00:31:34,120
Fair enough, project wise they're one of the worst, it's true, so good riddance, hopefully

584
00:31:34,120 --> 00:31:35,120
they get an overall.

585
00:31:35,120 --> 00:31:36,560
Genoa were close?

586
00:31:36,560 --> 00:31:39,520
Genoa came close.

587
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:43,040
What I predicted would happen almost happened when Blassine came in and they started racking

588
00:31:43,040 --> 00:31:46,720
up those draws, but unfortunately draws were not enough, some of those should have been

589
00:31:46,720 --> 00:31:47,720
wins.

590
00:31:47,720 --> 00:31:53,400
You look at Salernitana, they got fewer results than Genoa, but they were wins so they actually

591
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:57,880
counted, they actually climbed, they took significant leaps in the table and overtook

592
00:31:57,880 --> 00:32:05,320
3 teams, 4 teams essentially, 3 teams, 3 teams.

593
00:32:05,320 --> 00:32:13,840
But anyway, Genoa have new owners and a decent coach who's staying.

594
00:32:13,840 --> 00:32:17,680
They're going to have continuity until next season, I think you mentioned to me that Blassine

595
00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:18,680
is going to stay on.

596
00:32:18,680 --> 00:32:21,160
He is, I believe he is.

597
00:32:21,160 --> 00:32:24,160
That would be brilliant for them, that would be really good, obviously they improved a

598
00:32:24,160 --> 00:32:26,560
lot on their Blassine.

599
00:32:26,560 --> 00:32:31,680
It takes just implementing something a bit modern and something a bit different to Genoasga.

600
00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:38,480
I think their weird decisions in the beginning and midway through the season is what fucked

601
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:45,680
them, not having, what's his name, the new manager, Blassine.

602
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:49,120
Not this period where they had Blassine, but the two periods before that, I mean when they

603
00:32:49,120 --> 00:32:54,680
got Shevchenko, it was such a risk and was it worth taking when you're that low, you're

604
00:32:54,680 --> 00:32:58,360
fighting relegation, you signed Shevchenko.

605
00:32:58,360 --> 00:33:02,440
But you look at what he did with Ukraine, Shevchenko, it might have been, if it worked

606
00:33:02,440 --> 00:33:04,440
off it would have been called a monster stroke.

607
00:33:04,440 --> 00:33:07,880
100 million percent, you're right, you're right.

608
00:33:07,880 --> 00:33:13,320
But we all know how risky it is when someone doesn't really have club experience in the

609
00:33:13,320 --> 00:33:16,200
top level but managing an international club in Ukraine, where he was.

610
00:33:16,200 --> 00:33:20,160
I mean he was out of his depth quite frankly and it was evident.

611
00:33:20,160 --> 00:33:21,160
And they didn't give him any time either.

612
00:33:21,160 --> 00:33:26,240
They didn't get a single win, did they even get a point with fucking Shevchenko?

613
00:33:26,240 --> 00:33:30,440
I think they scored one goal on his last game or something like that.

614
00:33:30,440 --> 00:33:32,360
Because he hadn't scored.

615
00:33:32,360 --> 00:33:33,360
Tragic, tragic.

616
00:33:33,360 --> 00:33:35,520
Shevchenko of the greatest strikers of all time.

617
00:33:35,520 --> 00:33:40,880
Bro I am dying to get to our tops and flops, shall we talk about Venezia quickly and get

618
00:33:40,880 --> 00:33:41,880
to them?

619
00:33:41,880 --> 00:33:42,880
100%, 100%.

620
00:33:42,880 --> 00:33:45,680
Venezia sad to see them go because they're such a cool team.

621
00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,280
They're such a cool team.

622
00:33:47,280 --> 00:33:49,320
They came in, they were cool, everyone was like damn they're fucking cool.

623
00:33:49,320 --> 00:33:53,440
But you know what's not cool man, how fucking incapable they are of getting a point, they're

624
00:33:53,440 --> 00:33:54,720
just incapable of getting points.

625
00:33:54,720 --> 00:33:58,360
They're that really cool guy in sixth form who repeats.

626
00:33:58,360 --> 00:33:59,360
Literally.

627
00:33:59,360 --> 00:34:06,320
Literally the guy that starts smoking cigs a bit too early.

628
00:34:06,320 --> 00:34:09,640
You know but unfortunately that guy doesn't improve for him, doesn't end well for him.

629
00:34:09,640 --> 00:34:13,080
So we'll see with Venezia, hopefully it ends a bit better than that guy.

630
00:34:13,080 --> 00:34:14,080
Tops and flops bro.

631
00:34:14,080 --> 00:34:18,600
Tops and flops are that beautiful insight of fucking Venezia.

632
00:34:18,600 --> 00:34:20,000
So we'll start with Milan.

633
00:34:20,000 --> 00:34:24,960
So I hope you know for tops I'm going to mention like 5 players for each team.

634
00:34:24,960 --> 00:34:27,880
Okay try keeping it down to one.

635
00:34:27,880 --> 00:34:29,600
Yes bro we'll do.

636
00:34:29,600 --> 00:34:34,800
Matthew is 3 minutes plus stoppage time away from winning 300 euros.

637
00:34:34,800 --> 00:34:38,840
And Tammy Abraham was down holding his knee and he's clearly wasting time.

638
00:34:38,840 --> 00:34:41,040
He looks at Mourinho and he winks bro.

639
00:34:41,040 --> 00:34:44,400
Mourinho is just looking on like a proud father.

640
00:34:44,400 --> 00:34:46,000
But Mourinho creates champions.

641
00:34:46,000 --> 00:34:47,000
He does.

642
00:34:47,000 --> 00:34:48,280
He creates champions.

643
00:34:48,280 --> 00:34:52,520
Let's get to our tops and flops but yes I'm minutes away and I'm getting really anxious

644
00:34:52,520 --> 00:34:55,520
now so I'm trying to earth myself.

645
00:34:55,520 --> 00:34:58,240
Milan, who was your top?

646
00:34:58,240 --> 00:35:03,560
So top, I know there are people saying Manon was meant to be the MVP of the season.

647
00:35:03,560 --> 00:35:05,920
Look Manon was incredible.

648
00:35:05,920 --> 00:35:08,440
But at the end of the day for me the catalyst was clear.

649
00:35:08,440 --> 00:35:14,720
There was one player who you could safely say that he won Milan the Scudetto.

650
00:35:14,720 --> 00:35:16,440
Because he made moments out of nothing.

651
00:35:16,440 --> 00:35:19,960
You look at the game against Fiorentina, you look at the game against even the last one

652
00:35:19,960 --> 00:35:21,440
against Asola it was all him.

653
00:35:21,440 --> 00:35:22,720
You know it's Rafael Leão.

654
00:35:22,720 --> 00:35:25,480
For me the top is easily Rafael Leão.

655
00:35:25,480 --> 00:35:27,360
The Serie A MVP by the way.

656
00:35:27,360 --> 00:35:28,840
I agree 100%.

657
00:35:28,840 --> 00:35:34,320
I was shouting for Manon as well but that was in context to it's his first season he

658
00:35:34,320 --> 00:35:37,280
just came in and for how impressive it is.

659
00:35:37,280 --> 00:35:41,480
But for someone that contributed to the team and got the team to where they are today and

660
00:35:41,480 --> 00:35:43,400
really put the team on the map.

661
00:35:43,400 --> 00:35:44,760
I agree it's Leão.

662
00:35:44,760 --> 00:35:47,440
He created goals from nothing.

663
00:35:47,440 --> 00:35:48,440
He was insane.

664
00:35:48,440 --> 00:35:54,720
Still at times we see his age but we saw what like Vinicius Jr. has come to for example

665
00:35:54,720 --> 00:35:57,200
and we will see that with Leão as well.

666
00:35:57,200 --> 00:35:59,160
Give him more than 4 million.

667
00:35:59,160 --> 00:36:00,160
Give him more than 4 million.

668
00:36:00,160 --> 00:36:01,960
Give the guy 7-8 million.

669
00:36:01,960 --> 00:36:02,960
Literally.

670
00:36:02,960 --> 00:36:05,320
The guy is unplayable.

671
00:36:05,320 --> 00:36:06,320
He is.

672
00:36:06,320 --> 00:36:12,240
I was seeing Kyle Walker talking he was saying I don't think there's no players that can

673
00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:13,240
get past me.

674
00:36:13,240 --> 00:36:16,880
Rafael Leão would fuck you in the ass.

675
00:36:16,880 --> 00:36:17,880
Honestly.

676
00:36:17,880 --> 00:36:18,880
Shut the fuck up.

677
00:36:18,880 --> 00:36:19,880
He's good.

678
00:36:19,880 --> 00:36:20,880
He's very good.

679
00:36:20,880 --> 00:36:26,160
But Leão has the ability to make the defender look like an amateur.

680
00:36:26,160 --> 00:36:29,320
It's the way he knocks the ball with the perfect amount of weight.

681
00:36:29,320 --> 00:36:30,880
He just out muscles you.

682
00:36:30,880 --> 00:36:32,480
He speeds past you.

683
00:36:32,480 --> 00:36:33,480
He's double as far.

684
00:36:33,480 --> 00:36:34,720
He's twice as fast as you are.

685
00:36:34,720 --> 00:36:37,400
No matter who you are he's twice your speed.

686
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:38,400
Literally.

687
00:36:38,400 --> 00:36:39,400
And it's his long strides.

688
00:36:39,400 --> 00:36:40,400
He can really knock a ball forward.

689
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:44,200
And with one step he places himself in front of the striker.

690
00:36:44,200 --> 00:36:46,920
So the striker has nowhere to go but into Leão's back.

691
00:36:46,920 --> 00:36:50,880
So he's either losing a penalty and potentially getting a red card or he's conceding.

692
00:36:50,880 --> 00:36:53,600
The defender is off balance.

693
00:36:53,600 --> 00:36:55,840
He has veins popping out of his head.

694
00:36:55,840 --> 00:36:57,440
He's frowning.

695
00:36:57,440 --> 00:37:01,760
His eyes are cross-eyed like on the floor getting up to recover and Leão's smiling

696
00:37:01,760 --> 00:37:04,440
like a gazelle just fucking.

697
00:37:04,440 --> 00:37:06,480
Honestly just squeezing past him.

698
00:37:06,480 --> 00:37:11,160
And having him and Teo Hernandez on the same side they're just exhausting right backs and

699
00:37:11,160 --> 00:37:12,160
right wingers constantly.

700
00:37:12,160 --> 00:37:14,360
It must have been so overwhelming.

701
00:37:14,360 --> 00:37:16,680
So top Leão who's your flop?

702
00:37:16,680 --> 00:37:18,680
Now flop there are the obvious ones.

703
00:37:18,680 --> 00:37:23,760
There's Baratura, there's Baccaioco but of course we're going to talk about people who

704
00:37:23,760 --> 00:37:25,760
had a certain amount of expectations to them.

705
00:37:25,760 --> 00:37:27,240
Now you could say Baccaioco had expectations.

706
00:37:27,240 --> 00:37:28,880
In fact he's my primary flop.

707
00:37:28,880 --> 00:37:31,040
But if you had to look at someone who contributed.

708
00:37:31,040 --> 00:37:35,320
The player who actually played the most minutes for Milan I believe this season or the player

709
00:37:35,320 --> 00:37:38,840
who had the most appearances in general this season.

710
00:37:38,840 --> 00:37:42,440
Salah Makars from his flop because he was so good towards the end of last season and

711
00:37:42,440 --> 00:37:47,360
this year he had many people questioning his ability and I feel like he had games where

712
00:37:47,360 --> 00:37:49,000
he was just losing the ball very often.

713
00:37:49,000 --> 00:37:50,800
It was very frustrating to watch.

714
00:37:50,800 --> 00:37:54,680
He has had good moments but I think he'd be the flop from the starting eleven.

715
00:37:54,680 --> 00:37:59,240
Like your answer almost wants to make me change my mind because I agree with you I think he

716
00:37:59,240 --> 00:38:04,200
really underperformed and I know that there were never really high expectations but he

717
00:38:04,200 --> 00:38:08,240
gave us glimpses of hope because he was so good towards the end of last season for example

718
00:38:08,240 --> 00:38:11,200
and in the beginning in this season he was actually really good.

719
00:38:11,200 --> 00:38:14,840
Like commentators were talking about him in the Champions League.

720
00:38:14,840 --> 00:38:16,200
Him Diaz and Lea Walves.

721
00:38:16,200 --> 00:38:18,920
Oh my god how close final it just got.

722
00:38:18,920 --> 00:38:21,840
Oh my god bro you almost lost it there.

723
00:38:21,840 --> 00:38:22,840
Jesus Christ.

724
00:38:22,840 --> 00:38:28,080
But ah yours almost makes me want to change mine.

725
00:38:28,080 --> 00:38:29,080
Mine is Roman Ioli.

726
00:38:29,080 --> 00:38:31,120
Roman Ioli that's a good answer bro.

727
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,880
That's a good answer because he had moments to step up and he just didn't and he got benched

728
00:38:34,880 --> 00:38:41,480
by Kalulu who granted is a fucking specimen on the half but you know the captain of Milan

729
00:38:41,480 --> 00:38:43,640
shouldn't be benched by a youth player.

730
00:38:43,640 --> 00:38:45,680
He shouldn't be fourth choice.

731
00:38:45,680 --> 00:38:46,680
That's a good shot.

732
00:38:46,680 --> 00:38:48,600
He'd be fifth when Kier comes back.

733
00:38:48,600 --> 00:38:53,400
Yeah Roman Ioli I mean I would be very surprised if he stayed at this point.

734
00:38:53,400 --> 00:38:56,200
But anyway people would be like what about Ibrahim Diaz?

735
00:38:56,200 --> 00:38:58,840
Fuck you like listen to me.

736
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:02,320
Ibrahim Diaz at least he's second choice.

737
00:39:02,320 --> 00:39:05,320
He was given second choice.

738
00:39:05,320 --> 00:39:06,560
Second choice is fine Ibrahim Diaz.

739
00:39:06,560 --> 00:39:08,320
He should have never been a starter to begin with.

740
00:39:08,320 --> 00:39:09,320
You know what I mean.

741
00:39:09,320 --> 00:39:12,460
Like it was obvious this guy has never played the full season before and you're gonna throw

742
00:39:12,460 --> 00:39:16,160
him in the helm like you're gonna throw him in the fucking starting eleven.

743
00:39:16,160 --> 00:39:19,680
Like it was too much for him to begin with.

744
00:39:19,680 --> 00:39:23,280
Even though he's won the Premier League La Liga and the Serie A.

745
00:39:23,280 --> 00:39:26,320
I mean he never really played.

746
00:39:26,320 --> 00:39:28,880
He has pictures with all the trophies bro.

747
00:39:28,880 --> 00:39:29,880
When he won.

748
00:39:29,880 --> 00:39:30,880
I know they're good for his CBA.

749
00:39:30,880 --> 00:39:31,880
Oh my god.

750
00:39:31,880 --> 00:39:32,880
They're keepers in the box.

751
00:39:32,880 --> 00:39:33,880
We're gonna stop.

752
00:39:33,880 --> 00:39:36,880
We're gonna stop and we're gonna talk about this.

753
00:39:36,880 --> 00:39:45,320
They got really close to equalizing again and Roma have won it.

754
00:39:45,320 --> 00:39:48,200
Roma have won the conference league ladies and gentlemen.

755
00:39:48,200 --> 00:39:49,880
And Matt has won it.

756
00:39:49,880 --> 00:39:50,880
And Matt has won.

757
00:39:50,880 --> 00:39:52,240
How much money bro?

758
00:39:52,240 --> 00:39:55,560
This helps me greatly with buying gear kits.

759
00:39:55,560 --> 00:39:56,560
Yes it does.

760
00:39:56,560 --> 00:39:59,760
318 euro from 110.

761
00:39:59,760 --> 00:40:00,760
You heard that loser.

762
00:40:00,760 --> 00:40:01,760
Why aren't you gambling?

763
00:40:01,760 --> 00:40:03,760
Ah 118 or something like that.

764
00:40:03,760 --> 00:40:05,760
Good gambler make money man.

765
00:40:05,760 --> 00:40:06,760
Look at that.

766
00:40:06,760 --> 00:40:07,760
Look at that.

767
00:40:07,760 --> 00:40:12,800
You know what you motherfuckers need to work for that.

768
00:40:12,800 --> 00:40:13,800
Mela.

769
00:40:13,800 --> 00:40:14,800
Inter.

770
00:40:14,800 --> 00:40:15,800
Inter.

771
00:40:15,800 --> 00:40:16,800
My top.

772
00:40:16,800 --> 00:40:17,800
Brazo.

773
00:40:17,800 --> 00:40:18,800
100%.

774
00:40:18,800 --> 00:40:19,800
No one comes close.

775
00:40:19,800 --> 00:40:20,800
The metronome.

776
00:40:20,800 --> 00:40:22,800
There's obviously Perisic which is another option.

777
00:40:22,800 --> 00:40:25,640
Mela had a relatively good season in general.

778
00:40:25,640 --> 00:40:26,920
He had a dry spell at one point.

779
00:40:26,920 --> 00:40:27,920
A long dry spell.

780
00:40:27,920 --> 00:40:28,920
A long dry spell.

781
00:40:28,920 --> 00:40:30,920
And that's where they lost a lot of points.

782
00:40:30,920 --> 00:40:31,920
True true.

783
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,360
But Brozovic for sure.

784
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,720
The metronome they're useless without.

785
00:40:34,720 --> 00:40:35,720
For sure.

786
00:40:35,720 --> 00:40:36,720
Brozovic.

787
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:37,720
Who would you say your flop is?

788
00:40:37,720 --> 00:40:38,720
Dev Rai.

789
00:40:38,720 --> 00:40:39,720
Oh my god.

790
00:40:39,720 --> 00:40:40,720
Same.

791
00:40:40,720 --> 00:40:41,720
Same.

792
00:40:41,720 --> 00:40:42,720
Just because of the expectations.

793
00:40:42,720 --> 00:40:44,280
Last season he was one of the best defenders in the league.

794
00:40:44,280 --> 00:40:46,480
This season he was a shadow of his former self.

795
00:40:46,480 --> 00:40:48,800
He's the most experienced out of them.

796
00:40:48,800 --> 00:40:53,440
And you'd think he'd be the one pulling up his socks and having the better performances.

797
00:40:53,440 --> 00:40:58,560
But out of the lot he's probably the worst at starting play from the back.

798
00:40:58,560 --> 00:41:01,560
I would easily say so.

799
00:41:01,560 --> 00:41:03,480
And we've seen mistakes come from his head.

800
00:41:03,480 --> 00:41:07,880
But his strengths were elsewhere and he really didn't demonstrate that this season.

801
00:41:07,880 --> 00:41:09,560
But anyway.

802
00:41:09,560 --> 00:41:13,760
I would say when it comes to flops for Inter there weren't many players who fucked up

803
00:41:13,760 --> 00:41:14,760
in the league.

804
00:41:14,760 --> 00:41:15,760
It's a tough time.

805
00:41:15,760 --> 00:41:18,040
There's always the person who lost in the league.

806
00:41:18,040 --> 00:41:19,040
Radu.

807
00:41:19,040 --> 00:41:21,080
Radu was literally their flop.

808
00:41:21,080 --> 00:41:22,080
Undeniable.

809
00:41:22,080 --> 00:41:25,880
He had one appearance and he fucking lost in the league.

810
00:41:25,880 --> 00:41:28,760
With a bit more thought I would have given it to Radu.

811
00:41:28,760 --> 00:41:31,000
I would have definitely given it to Radu with a bit more thought.

812
00:41:31,000 --> 00:41:32,000
Shall we conclude this Radu?

813
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:33,800
Let's say that Brozovic to Radu.

814
00:41:33,800 --> 00:41:34,800
Yeah let's say Radu.

815
00:41:34,800 --> 00:41:37,040
He literally fucked their entire season.

816
00:41:37,040 --> 00:41:39,000
Napoli was a tough one for me.

817
00:41:39,000 --> 00:41:40,000
Yep.

818
00:41:40,000 --> 00:41:41,000
Same.

819
00:41:41,000 --> 00:41:42,000
Top.

820
00:41:42,000 --> 00:41:43,000
Ozymen.

821
00:41:43,000 --> 00:41:45,520
Ozymen was out for a while.

822
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:47,000
I still put him as my top.

823
00:41:47,000 --> 00:41:49,760
It was between him and Fabian.

824
00:41:49,760 --> 00:41:52,560
Fabian is always great but I think...

825
00:41:52,560 --> 00:41:53,560
He had a good season.

826
00:41:53,560 --> 00:41:57,720
Fabian had a very good season but I don't think anyone replaces Ozymen.

827
00:41:57,720 --> 00:41:59,840
That's the thing man.

828
00:41:59,840 --> 00:42:03,200
It's not only his goals but it's the attitude he brings to the team.

829
00:42:03,200 --> 00:42:06,760
He has a bit of that Zlatan about him, about his personality.

830
00:42:06,760 --> 00:42:09,080
He's a bit of a shit house on the pitch.

831
00:42:09,080 --> 00:42:10,680
He's incredibly quick.

832
00:42:10,680 --> 00:42:13,240
Like Napoli can really play down the middle now.

833
00:42:13,240 --> 00:42:17,720
One thing we saw especially after Sarri's time and during Sarri's time, a lot of Napoli's

834
00:42:17,720 --> 00:42:22,080
play came from the early crosses, from the wing play.

835
00:42:22,080 --> 00:42:25,880
That's how they were mainly utilised in the 4-3-3 of Sarri.

836
00:42:25,880 --> 00:42:30,480
But nowadays we could really see them dart down the middle thanks to Ozymen.

837
00:42:30,480 --> 00:42:33,160
And then they can play it from out wide as well thanks to Ozymen.

838
00:42:33,160 --> 00:42:39,520
So he changed their entire play just by being a real all-round striker and an energetic

839
00:42:39,520 --> 00:42:42,360
fucking nightmare for any defender.

840
00:42:42,360 --> 00:42:47,880
Bro after Rafael Leao, there's one player who can solo carry an entire attack and that's

841
00:42:47,880 --> 00:42:49,880
Ozymen in the league.

842
00:42:49,880 --> 00:42:53,760
I would say when Vlavich was at quarantine I would say Vlavich as well.

843
00:42:53,760 --> 00:42:57,480
True but Vlavich always had the team working for him.

844
00:42:57,480 --> 00:43:03,280
When it comes to Ozymen and Leao, they do a lot of the work themselves.

845
00:43:03,280 --> 00:43:06,600
You know granted they won two flick-offs with teammates and shit like that but they have

846
00:43:06,600 --> 00:43:12,080
the potential to carry the ball from midfield to the box and just fucking shoot themselves.

847
00:43:12,080 --> 00:43:13,800
Like without any assistance.

848
00:43:13,800 --> 00:43:14,800
And that's very unique.

849
00:43:14,800 --> 00:43:21,520
I think Chiro deserves a shout as well when it comes to strikers that can carry front

850
00:43:21,520 --> 00:43:22,520
three.

851
00:43:22,520 --> 00:43:26,040
For sure but again he thrives off service unlike the other two.

852
00:43:26,040 --> 00:43:29,280
I guess he's quite active outside the area which is obviously…

853
00:43:29,280 --> 00:43:32,760
But it's always in link up play like it's not just him charging literally.

854
00:43:32,760 --> 00:43:37,240
But anyway my flop is Lorenzo Insinio.

855
00:43:37,240 --> 00:43:38,240
Same.

856
00:43:38,240 --> 00:43:44,600
And I mean it really doesn't take a lot to figure this one out because obviously he

857
00:43:44,600 --> 00:43:45,600
wasn't terrible.

858
00:43:45,600 --> 00:43:52,680
He still contributed to the team greatly but in comparison to last season, nothing.

859
00:43:52,680 --> 00:43:55,640
He was the best player in the league last season in my opinion.

860
00:43:55,640 --> 00:43:56,640
Easily.

861
00:43:56,640 --> 00:43:57,640
He was one of them.

862
00:43:57,640 --> 00:43:58,640
Easily.

863
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,240
This season nothing, nowhere near that level.

864
00:44:00,240 --> 00:44:02,080
He hardly scored from open play man.

865
00:44:02,080 --> 00:44:03,480
He scored one or two from open play.

866
00:44:03,480 --> 00:44:05,800
He signed for another team halfway through the season.

867
00:44:05,800 --> 00:44:06,800
That was my second point.

868
00:44:06,800 --> 00:44:08,400
He was the captain.

869
00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:09,400
Exactly.

870
00:44:09,400 --> 00:44:14,560
So I'm not questioning Insinio's decision.

871
00:44:14,560 --> 00:44:20,720
I'm sure he had his reasons but just when it comes to the outcome that that had on the

872
00:44:20,720 --> 00:44:22,800
team it wasn't positive.

873
00:44:22,800 --> 00:44:27,080
Sure maybe it put Mertens on a nice little spell because people started appreciating

874
00:44:27,080 --> 00:44:32,120
him more but Insinio was their legend, their captain.

875
00:44:32,120 --> 00:44:36,000
Even though of course Mertens has god status in Naples.

876
00:44:36,000 --> 00:44:38,200
Bro man the fans are just singing Roma.

877
00:44:38,200 --> 00:44:40,160
Roma Ibanez is crying his heart out.

878
00:44:40,160 --> 00:44:42,000
You look at the players, they're all teary eyed.

879
00:44:42,000 --> 00:44:47,000
It's insane scenes right now in Tirana.

880
00:44:47,000 --> 00:44:48,640
Where the fuck is Tirana?

881
00:44:48,640 --> 00:44:49,640
Albania bro.

882
00:44:49,640 --> 00:44:53,120
Shout out to our Albanian women in the world.

883
00:44:53,120 --> 00:44:56,960
All our female Albanian listeners.

884
00:44:56,960 --> 00:44:58,240
Thank you very much for listening.

885
00:44:58,240 --> 00:44:59,240
We love you.

886
00:44:59,240 --> 00:45:00,240
Daddy loves you.

887
00:45:00,240 --> 00:45:01,240
That was terrible.

888
00:45:01,240 --> 00:45:04,120
That was the worst moment we've had on this podcast.

889
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:07,920
I'm sorry I think we've lost listeners.

890
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:11,880
So bro let's move on to Juve.

891
00:45:11,880 --> 00:45:14,480
My top is Quadrado.

892
00:45:14,480 --> 00:45:20,640
Now my top because of the entire season not because of his time at Juve is Vlaović.

893
00:45:20,640 --> 00:45:21,640
Does that count?

894
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:22,640
No for Juve.

895
00:45:22,640 --> 00:45:24,640
For Juve so only servicing the team.

896
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:28,200
We do against categorically by team because of what they contribute to the team.

897
00:45:28,200 --> 00:45:29,200
And you said Quadrado.

898
00:45:29,200 --> 00:45:31,760
I said Quadrado.

899
00:45:31,760 --> 00:45:36,680
But if it's not Vlaović for the whole season I'd say Debala.

900
00:45:36,680 --> 00:45:39,680
It could be Debala as well.

901
00:45:39,680 --> 00:45:45,320
Quadrado I chose him more because it's like again Quadrado really stepping up and being

902
00:45:45,320 --> 00:45:46,520
a pivotal part of the team.

903
00:45:46,520 --> 00:45:50,360
Like again it always seems like they're looking to replace him or they're looking to improve

904
00:45:50,360 --> 00:45:52,320
that area and again he always just keeps outperforming.

905
00:45:52,320 --> 00:45:54,560
He's always the best option there no matter what happens.

906
00:45:54,560 --> 00:45:59,800
Exactly he had a Perisic-esque feel to him.

907
00:45:59,800 --> 00:46:03,880
But you could say Debala I think for a guy that really turned it up and got them goals

908
00:46:03,880 --> 00:46:06,320
and made them exciting to watch.

909
00:46:06,320 --> 00:46:11,680
Debala even when Vlaović came along Debala was leading him.

910
00:46:11,680 --> 00:46:12,680
Debala was good.

911
00:46:12,680 --> 00:46:13,680
I'd say Debala in fact.

912
00:46:13,680 --> 00:46:16,680
Let's change it to Debala.

913
00:46:16,680 --> 00:46:17,680
Cool.

914
00:46:17,680 --> 00:46:18,680
Flop.

915
00:46:18,680 --> 00:46:19,680
Alexandro.

916
00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:21,440
Okay I disagree.

917
00:46:21,440 --> 00:46:26,280
Because Alexandro already started dipping last season so the expectations for him to

918
00:46:26,280 --> 00:46:31,360
perform weren't that high, the expectations for Delict to perform were high and he had

919
00:46:31,360 --> 00:46:34,520
a pretty poor season overall.

920
00:46:34,520 --> 00:46:35,640
He picked up man.

921
00:46:35,640 --> 00:46:36,640
He did pick up.

922
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:37,640
He did pick up.

923
00:46:37,640 --> 00:46:40,120
He picked up in moments but then always had like a foul.

924
00:46:40,120 --> 00:46:41,560
He gave away a foul.

925
00:46:41,560 --> 00:46:43,320
I think Juve had a tough season.

926
00:46:43,320 --> 00:46:45,880
Or he got fucking destroyed randomly.

927
00:46:45,880 --> 00:46:48,720
They did have a tough season and he really struggled man.

928
00:46:48,720 --> 00:46:50,880
Delict in my opinion.

929
00:46:50,880 --> 00:46:58,360
I think for Juve in that case I would say like individually most players struggled.

930
00:46:58,360 --> 00:47:00,440
But Delict has a level of expectations.

931
00:47:00,440 --> 00:47:01,440
That's the thing.

932
00:47:01,440 --> 00:47:03,040
I mean it's easy to pick Rabio.

933
00:47:03,040 --> 00:47:08,400
But no I wouldn't even say Rabio is their flop because he doesn't have expectations.

934
00:47:08,400 --> 00:47:11,080
I'd say they deployed him where he needed to be deployed.

935
00:47:11,080 --> 00:47:13,520
Alexandro in my opinion the season didn't have high expectations.

936
00:47:13,520 --> 00:47:14,520
People already knew what he's become.

937
00:47:14,520 --> 00:47:18,600
Delict on the other hand people are saying come on maybe he's matured and coming off

938
00:47:18,600 --> 00:47:19,600
another full season.

939
00:47:19,600 --> 00:47:21,840
I see what you mean about Sandro.

940
00:47:21,840 --> 00:47:27,480
But for me it seems that because he's been there for so long and he has performed that

941
00:47:27,480 --> 00:47:32,080
alone they take him a couple of games to get back to being a real regular for the team

942
00:47:32,080 --> 00:47:36,120
because he has that foundation with them.

943
00:47:36,120 --> 00:47:38,180
We should post these on Twitter bro.

944
00:47:38,180 --> 00:47:40,160
We did last time when they performed really well.

945
00:47:40,160 --> 00:47:43,960
I'll put like Jake's, Matt's and then like people can interact.

946
00:47:43,960 --> 00:47:47,240
Juve has an interesting one to debate because again they had a tough season.

947
00:47:47,240 --> 00:47:49,320
Shall we move on to Lazio?

948
00:47:49,320 --> 00:47:51,760
Yep who's your top?

949
00:47:51,760 --> 00:47:55,840
Now it's hard to not say Trierow Móbela.

950
00:47:55,840 --> 00:47:58,320
I have the exact same dilemma as you for sure.

951
00:47:58,320 --> 00:48:02,320
He's the top scorer of the season right?

952
00:48:02,320 --> 00:48:08,360
But I feel like many of Trierow's goals come in the same games you know what I mean in

953
00:48:08,360 --> 00:48:10,160
comfortable victories for Lazio.

954
00:48:10,160 --> 00:48:13,320
I wouldn't I wouldn't exactly say that.

955
00:48:13,320 --> 00:48:15,760
I wouldn't take anything away from him Móbela.

956
00:48:15,760 --> 00:48:22,600
An observation that I've made is that he likes to score when Lazio are demolishing.

957
00:48:22,600 --> 00:48:27,240
When it comes to those very narrow victories it tends to be Sergei Mlinkovic Savic who

958
00:48:27,240 --> 00:48:29,000
makes the difference and he's my top.

959
00:48:29,000 --> 00:48:30,000
He's my top as well.

960
00:48:30,000 --> 00:48:33,720
I think the team ticks around him.

961
00:48:33,720 --> 00:48:38,960
Móbela wouldn't be the same without having him there and as a goal scoring midfielder

962
00:48:38,960 --> 00:48:43,720
that also contributes so much in the physical department and the breakdown of players.

963
00:48:43,720 --> 00:48:48,760
He's a real engine, he's a workhorse and apart from that he has a serious eye for a

964
00:48:48,760 --> 00:48:52,360
goal and technically he's insane.

965
00:48:52,360 --> 00:48:53,760
One of the best in the league technically.

966
00:48:53,760 --> 00:48:57,280
The most all-rounded midfielder in the league and the best midfielder in the league.

967
00:48:57,280 --> 00:48:58,680
He takes it for me.

968
00:48:58,680 --> 00:49:03,000
I just hope he can achieve legend status somewhere with the mustache bro.

969
00:49:03,000 --> 00:49:04,000
I agree.

970
00:49:04,000 --> 00:49:07,400
Can you imagine him alongside Tonali?

971
00:49:07,400 --> 00:49:09,440
Oh my god.

972
00:49:09,440 --> 00:49:12,200
Let's move on.

973
00:49:12,200 --> 00:49:15,280
My flop from Latvia is a cherubi 100%.

974
00:49:15,280 --> 00:49:16,880
I don't think that warrants attention.

975
00:49:16,880 --> 00:49:18,600
Fell out with the fans.

976
00:49:18,600 --> 00:49:21,360
He had poor displays all season.

977
00:49:21,360 --> 00:49:23,600
He had attitude problems.

978
00:49:23,600 --> 00:49:26,360
Smiling during a loss I believe at a point.

979
00:49:26,360 --> 00:49:31,840
I know they frame it that way as well but just with everything else that has gone on.

980
00:49:31,840 --> 00:49:33,680
He's the clear flop.

981
00:49:33,680 --> 00:49:34,680
Roma.

982
00:49:34,680 --> 00:49:37,200
Now, top again was a difficult one for me.

983
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:44,080
I'm gonna go for the person who's had the best debut season with Roma ever.

984
00:49:44,080 --> 00:49:45,080
Tammy Abraham.

985
00:49:45,080 --> 00:49:46,480
I don't see who you could be debated with.

986
00:49:46,480 --> 00:49:47,840
I'd say Tammy by a landslide.

987
00:49:47,840 --> 00:49:52,120
That was for me between Tammy and Lorenzo Pellegrini because Pellegrini is always insane

988
00:49:52,120 --> 00:49:56,680
bro and if he isn't scoring free kicks he's fucking setting up goals.

989
00:49:56,680 --> 00:50:00,040
If he isn't he's scoring backheeled flick-ons like on the end of crosses.

990
00:50:00,040 --> 00:50:01,040
He's incredible.

991
00:50:01,040 --> 00:50:02,040
He's incredible.

992
00:50:02,040 --> 00:50:07,720
He's an attacking midfielder man who really attacks the defence, he can play people through,

993
00:50:07,720 --> 00:50:10,800
he can take a long shot from set plays, he's amazing.

994
00:50:10,800 --> 00:50:15,000
He probably is among the best in the league when it comes to set pieces.

995
00:50:15,000 --> 00:50:16,000
Overall set pieces.

996
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:17,000
It's not just free kicks.

997
00:50:17,000 --> 00:50:18,000
Free kicks, corners.

998
00:50:18,000 --> 00:50:19,000
He's up there.

999
00:50:19,000 --> 00:50:20,600
There's like Trella Muglu, him.

1000
00:50:20,600 --> 00:50:21,600
Who else like?

1001
00:50:21,600 --> 00:50:22,600
Yeah true.

1002
00:50:22,600 --> 00:50:25,400
Tony Ali can whip in a mean free kick or corner.

1003
00:50:25,400 --> 00:50:26,400
Occasionally.

1004
00:50:26,400 --> 00:50:27,880
More often than not.

1005
00:50:27,880 --> 00:50:31,520
There's Luis Alberto as well who's fantastic in that area.

1006
00:50:31,520 --> 00:50:34,280
But, aha, literally.

1007
00:50:34,280 --> 00:50:38,400
But what about your flop for Roma?

1008
00:50:38,400 --> 00:50:40,160
It was hard in my opinion to pick one.

1009
00:50:40,160 --> 00:50:45,000
I think many of them were victims to maybe harsh criticism by Mourinho early on.

1010
00:50:45,000 --> 00:50:46,000
You know what I mean?

1011
00:50:46,000 --> 00:50:49,080
There was Kumballa for example who was a shout.

1012
00:50:49,080 --> 00:50:50,080
But he really improved.

1013
00:50:50,080 --> 00:50:55,080
In my opinion one guy who had high expectations to perform under Mourinho and simply couldn't

1014
00:50:55,080 --> 00:50:58,840
and half the time Tammy was playing as the only option up front to be honest because

1015
00:50:58,840 --> 00:51:01,760
of this is Eldor show Mourinho.

1016
00:51:01,760 --> 00:51:02,760
Okay.

1017
00:51:02,760 --> 00:51:03,760
I don't know.

1018
00:51:03,760 --> 00:51:05,160
I think I'll stick to mine.

1019
00:51:05,160 --> 00:51:07,200
I said Olivera.

1020
00:51:07,200 --> 00:51:14,640
I think he was brilliant for the first three games that he came in for and then it was

1021
00:51:14,640 --> 00:51:15,640
like ehh.

1022
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:16,640
Yeah fair enough.

1023
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:17,640
Fair enough.

1024
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:20,960
But in reality he wasn't there for half the season.

1025
00:51:20,960 --> 00:51:24,880
Half the time he was there he was decent and then he flopped a bit towards the end.

1026
00:51:24,880 --> 00:51:27,360
I think it's for the whole season to declare him a flop.

1027
00:51:27,360 --> 00:51:29,280
That might be a bit harsh.

1028
00:51:29,280 --> 00:51:30,280
I guess.

1029
00:51:30,280 --> 00:51:31,280
I guess.

1030
00:51:31,280 --> 00:51:37,080
I mean Shumorodov and then on the other hand what I think is that he couldn't have been

1031
00:51:37,080 --> 00:51:39,560
given many opportunities with Tammy.

1032
00:51:39,560 --> 00:51:41,300
He has 90 minutes in him.

1033
00:51:41,300 --> 00:51:43,920
They were playing in three competitions man.

1034
00:51:43,920 --> 00:51:46,240
You know you have two strikers playing in a one.

1035
00:51:46,240 --> 00:51:53,040
And fair enough because Zaniolo took the attacking spot as a winger essentially so he had that

1036
00:51:53,040 --> 00:51:54,040
opportunity.

1037
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:55,040
That should have been Shumorodov.

1038
00:51:55,040 --> 00:51:56,200
It was there for him.

1039
00:51:56,200 --> 00:52:00,040
But I don't think he had those expectations.

1040
00:52:00,040 --> 00:52:01,520
So it's a debate.

1041
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:03,600
I would say it's a debate between those two.

1042
00:52:03,600 --> 00:52:05,800
Let us know your thoughts.

1043
00:52:05,800 --> 00:52:07,240
Fiorentino.

1044
00:52:07,240 --> 00:52:11,240
I enjoyed this one but I'm not sure of my answers man.

1045
00:52:11,240 --> 00:52:16,760
I would say their top is Torreira but I was really close to choosing Nico Gonzalez.

1046
00:52:16,760 --> 00:52:17,760
What?

1047
00:52:17,760 --> 00:52:21,160
We said we're Vlava just is never an option.

1048
00:52:21,160 --> 00:52:22,160
You're right.

1049
00:52:22,160 --> 00:52:23,160
You're right.

1050
00:52:23,160 --> 00:52:26,880
Fiorentino's obvious top when he was there man.

1051
00:52:26,880 --> 00:52:27,880
You're right.

1052
00:52:27,880 --> 00:52:30,160
Let's say okay but let's change the top.

1053
00:52:30,160 --> 00:52:32,520
What do you think for the full season and then off.

1054
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:33,520
Nico Gonzalez.

1055
00:52:33,520 --> 00:52:34,520
Nico Gonzalez.

1056
00:52:34,520 --> 00:52:35,520
Fair enough.

1057
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:36,520
And you think Torreira.

1058
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:40,040
It was so tight between them.

1059
00:52:40,040 --> 00:52:46,800
But I think when it comes to grit mentality, performance and just a leader's mentality

1060
00:52:46,800 --> 00:52:50,280
I would say Torreira was super effective.

1061
00:52:50,280 --> 00:52:55,160
I think in those areas in right wing left wing, which is very versatile as well Nico

1062
00:52:55,160 --> 00:53:00,000
Gonzalez, and there's a lot of competition which means that maybe if he were gone he

1063
00:53:00,000 --> 00:53:03,280
wouldn't be missed as much as someone.

1064
00:53:03,280 --> 00:53:04,280
I don't know.

1065
00:53:04,280 --> 00:53:05,280
Fair enough.

1066
00:53:05,280 --> 00:53:10,280
But at the same time no one compares to him and then out of the other options.

1067
00:53:10,280 --> 00:53:11,800
Yeah that's true.

1068
00:53:11,800 --> 00:53:13,840
What about your flop bro?

1069
00:53:13,840 --> 00:53:17,720
My flop then was Milenkovic.

1070
00:53:17,720 --> 00:53:21,720
I put Milenkovic as a flop but I also put Iconi man.

1071
00:53:21,720 --> 00:53:26,600
I wasn't sure between Iconi and Milenkovic because Iconi was an animal with Lil and when

1072
00:53:26,600 --> 00:53:29,800
he came to Fiorentino he couldn't cement that starting spot.

1073
00:53:29,800 --> 00:53:32,380
It was never his alone.

1074
00:53:32,380 --> 00:53:38,120
He was always sharing it with Nico Gonzalez, there was Saponara playing on the other side

1075
00:53:38,120 --> 00:53:40,120
coming on.

1076
00:53:40,120 --> 00:53:43,760
So yeah I would say Iconi kind of flopped in his first season.

1077
00:53:43,760 --> 00:53:45,240
I expected more from him.

1078
00:53:45,240 --> 00:53:46,880
No you're right.

1079
00:53:46,880 --> 00:53:51,200
I mean he came in with high expectations, obviously we saw what he was capable of as

1080
00:53:51,200 --> 00:53:52,920
well like you said.

1081
00:53:52,920 --> 00:53:58,120
So he could be in the discussion of flop.

1082
00:53:58,120 --> 00:53:59,680
That's always hard to say in their first season.

1083
00:53:59,680 --> 00:54:05,440
I know I'm being hypocritical because I just said Olivera but Olivera literally showed it

1084
00:54:05,440 --> 00:54:08,200
to us for a period where he was actually really good.

1085
00:54:08,200 --> 00:54:13,680
Iconi hasn't kicked off yet and he hasn't been given many opportunities to kick off.

1086
00:54:13,680 --> 00:54:18,000
While Milenkovic has had fantastic seasons in Serie A so it is kind of weird seeing him

1087
00:54:18,000 --> 00:54:20,720
performing at the level he is performing right now.

1088
00:54:20,720 --> 00:54:21,720
Agreed.

1089
00:54:21,720 --> 00:54:22,720
Adalena.

1090
00:54:22,720 --> 00:54:24,600
Adalena top, Pasalic.

1091
00:54:24,600 --> 00:54:26,080
This was probably the easiest one.

1092
00:54:26,080 --> 00:54:27,440
Pasalic you said?

1093
00:54:27,440 --> 00:54:28,440
For Atalanta?

1094
00:54:28,440 --> 00:54:30,120
Yeah that's a good shout.

1095
00:54:30,120 --> 00:54:31,120
You know who I said bro?

1096
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:33,600
I said Kup Miners man.

1097
00:54:33,600 --> 00:54:37,160
Like when it comes to someone who shocked us Kup Miners for sure what a dangerous season.

1098
00:54:37,160 --> 00:54:41,840
But I just think that when it came no matter what game perhaps maybe the only poor game

1099
00:54:41,840 --> 00:54:46,040
Kup Miners had this season like obviously poor game was against Milan because he got

1100
00:54:46,040 --> 00:54:49,120
a yellow card early on and they kind of focused on him.

1101
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:51,960
But other than that he was flawless bro no matter where he played.

1102
00:54:51,960 --> 00:54:53,920
If they played him behind the strikers he was good.

1103
00:54:53,920 --> 00:54:56,200
If they played him in that holding mid area he was good.

1104
00:54:56,200 --> 00:54:57,200
He was the constant.

1105
00:54:57,200 --> 00:54:58,200
Closer to the striker as well.

1106
00:54:58,200 --> 00:54:59,200
Exactly.

1107
00:54:59,200 --> 00:55:00,360
Fantastic player overall.

1108
00:55:00,360 --> 00:55:04,080
I think he's my man of the season, the player of the season for Atalanta this year.

1109
00:55:04,080 --> 00:55:05,080
Interesting.

1110
00:55:05,080 --> 00:55:09,720
I would still say Pasalic because I'm hard headed.

1111
00:55:09,720 --> 00:55:15,160
But you're right about Kup Miners what a fucking season he's had man.

1112
00:55:15,160 --> 00:55:18,720
Flop Gasperini ha ha ha ha ha.

1113
00:55:18,720 --> 00:55:23,520
But like literally because I don't think there was a fucking player that I would point at

1114
00:55:23,520 --> 00:55:26,800
and say like they really disappointed me.

1115
00:55:26,800 --> 00:55:28,720
I think it was just a failed system.

1116
00:55:28,720 --> 00:55:32,760
For the majority of the season the flop was Muriel but then at the end he picked up and

1117
00:55:32,760 --> 00:55:34,520
he went on a run.

1118
00:55:34,520 --> 00:55:39,240
For me the flop is Juan Musso.

1119
00:55:39,240 --> 00:55:40,640
He thinks so.

1120
00:55:40,640 --> 00:55:44,200
I think he played better when he was at Udinese.

1121
00:55:44,200 --> 00:55:47,800
Probably probably but like he was on the end of a lot of pressure.

1122
00:55:47,800 --> 00:55:51,920
I know it's always controversial to choose a goalkeeper for both.

1123
00:55:51,920 --> 00:55:56,600
But you know you have for example many goalkeepers having moments where they save their team.

1124
00:55:56,600 --> 00:55:58,880
Musso didn't have as many as I typically see him have.

1125
00:55:58,880 --> 00:55:59,880
He's had some good games though.

1126
00:55:59,880 --> 00:56:01,920
He's had some really good games.

1127
00:56:01,920 --> 00:56:06,800
He's had amazing games but not to the extent that others in his position have had elsewhere.

1128
00:56:06,800 --> 00:56:09,960
Like you look at Vicario for example.

1129
00:56:09,960 --> 00:56:11,800
You look at Manon.

1130
00:56:11,800 --> 00:56:14,680
You know these guys man had incredible moments.

1131
00:56:14,680 --> 00:56:18,520
By the way for Inter's flop speaking of goalkeepers it reminded me I'm going to segue completely

1132
00:56:18,520 --> 00:56:19,520
off.

1133
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:21,760
We should have talked about Handanovic as well.

1134
00:56:21,760 --> 00:56:23,920
We could have but I think he's done.

1135
00:56:23,920 --> 00:56:30,120
He's had decent enough moments to kind of steer him a bit clear of that position.

1136
00:56:30,120 --> 00:56:35,880
As a flop for Atalanta I couldn't think of anyone else but like Petzella and it's really

1137
00:56:35,880 --> 00:56:39,400
harsh because he was forced into that position.

1138
00:56:39,400 --> 00:56:42,240
It's obviously an opportunity for him.

1139
00:56:42,240 --> 00:56:47,320
But I think in comparison to what they had in Gost and seeing Petzella taking that role

1140
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:51,120
obviously you're going to be disappointed and it's unfortunate for him but that's what

1141
00:56:51,120 --> 00:56:54,280
I can see and that's what I understand.

1142
00:56:54,280 --> 00:56:57,160
What about Jeremy Bogat?

1143
00:56:57,160 --> 00:57:03,200
Again I didn't choose him because he's just arrived there and it's not his fault.

1144
00:57:03,200 --> 00:57:04,200
That's why.

1145
00:57:04,200 --> 00:57:05,200
That's my reasoning.

1146
00:57:05,200 --> 00:57:07,840
What could easily be when you think of people who didn't play well?

1147
00:57:07,840 --> 00:57:11,280
Expectations wise you look at Bogat he's a flop you know.

1148
00:57:11,280 --> 00:57:13,560
Same logic, Muriel same logic, Mossomane.

1149
00:57:13,560 --> 00:57:17,960
These players with high expectations didn't quite perform at the highest level and then

1150
00:57:17,960 --> 00:57:21,240
you think so many people aren't performing and there's something going on internally.

1151
00:57:21,240 --> 00:57:26,560
I'd definitely say it's within that front line though their flops.

1152
00:57:26,560 --> 00:57:29,160
Hellas Verona top I think was an easy one.

1153
00:57:29,160 --> 00:57:30,160
You put Simeone?

1154
00:57:30,160 --> 00:57:31,160
No I put Caprari.

1155
00:57:31,160 --> 00:57:32,160
I put Caprari as well.

1156
00:57:32,160 --> 00:57:34,600
A man of contract.

1157
00:57:34,600 --> 00:57:39,160
Same logic, Simeone had that run, Caprari was there for the entirety of the season.

1158
00:57:39,160 --> 00:57:44,960
Caprari was more consistent and I know that when Simeone is on a good run of form he scores

1159
00:57:44,960 --> 00:57:50,880
a hat trick and he scores from like four against lots.

1160
00:57:50,880 --> 00:57:55,880
But for someone that performed in my opinion almost every single game just creating, creating,

1161
00:57:55,880 --> 00:57:59,360
creating, dribbling, terrorizing I would say Caprari for sure.

1162
00:57:59,360 --> 00:58:00,760
Caprari the little terrorist.

1163
00:58:00,760 --> 00:58:02,840
Who do you say their flop is?

1164
00:58:02,840 --> 00:58:03,840
Kalinic.

1165
00:58:03,840 --> 00:58:06,520
I put Kalinic but I also put Cecherini.

1166
00:58:06,520 --> 00:58:08,600
Cecherini had a bit of a poor season as well.

1167
00:58:08,600 --> 00:58:09,600
I'd also put Lazovic.

1168
00:58:09,600 --> 00:58:10,600
Had a couple of tough moments.

1169
00:58:10,600 --> 00:58:12,600
Aha you could put Lazovic as well.

1170
00:58:12,600 --> 00:58:14,560
Lazovic has games where I'm like knife.

1171
00:58:14,560 --> 00:58:16,960
But that's it, it's never more than that.

1172
00:58:16,960 --> 00:58:18,680
Like up against Calabria.

1173
00:58:18,680 --> 00:58:22,520
No but I think overall definitely 100% Kalinic.

1174
00:58:22,520 --> 00:58:23,520
Kalinic 100%.

1175
00:58:23,520 --> 00:58:26,320
To the point that they terminated his contract.

1176
00:58:26,320 --> 00:58:27,320
Exactly.

1177
00:58:27,320 --> 00:58:28,320
Torino top Bremer.

1178
00:58:28,320 --> 00:58:29,320
Definitely.

1179
00:58:29,320 --> 00:58:34,080
He won the defender of the year as well, defender of the season.

1180
00:58:34,080 --> 00:58:35,400
Would you say your flop is Bellotti?

1181
00:58:35,400 --> 00:58:37,120
I would say my flop is Bellotti.

1182
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:38,120
Why?

1183
00:58:38,120 --> 00:58:44,760
Because again you look at Torino have finally secured a top coach right.

1184
00:58:44,760 --> 00:58:46,640
I mean why it's an obvious answer.

1185
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:48,640
He normally contributes double figures.

1186
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:50,080
They've brought in Juric.

1187
00:58:50,080 --> 00:58:53,560
Everyone thought with a stable system this guy would be back at his best and quite simply

1188
00:58:53,560 --> 00:58:54,560
he wasn't granted.

1189
00:58:54,560 --> 00:58:56,800
He struggled with injuries once again.

1190
00:58:56,800 --> 00:59:00,520
But he should have had a better season I think man overall.

1191
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:06,240
Looking at it right now he had service, he had Pobega, Brekel, a single on the wing.

1192
00:59:06,240 --> 00:59:08,360
There were players to serve him.

1193
00:59:08,360 --> 00:59:11,420
Like you said alright he was injured for a while.

1194
00:59:11,420 --> 00:59:15,240
But you think for someone who's been in the league for that long, who's been with the

1195
00:59:15,240 --> 00:59:19,560
team for so long that maybe you'd expect the bounce back to be a little bit cleaner, a

1196
00:59:19,560 --> 00:59:20,560
little bit quicker.

1197
00:59:20,560 --> 00:59:25,120
And I know then he was better towards the end of the season but like too late your team

1198
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:30,400
were performing without you for a while before you came back.

1199
00:59:30,400 --> 00:59:31,400
It is just the season.

1200
00:59:31,400 --> 00:59:35,280
He's still obviously a great asset to have for them even though they're fucking losing

1201
00:59:35,280 --> 00:59:36,280
him.

1202
00:59:36,280 --> 00:59:37,280
They're losing him yeah.

1203
00:59:37,280 --> 00:59:40,280
Sasualo top Domenico Berardi.

1204
00:59:40,280 --> 00:59:43,320
Yep I agree.

1205
00:59:43,320 --> 00:59:45,760
Obviously double figure statistics and goals and assists.

1206
00:59:45,760 --> 00:59:51,560
I think he's clear of everyone but the closest that gets to him is Skamaka.

1207
00:59:51,560 --> 00:59:56,520
Skamaka or even because of some very nice moments Hamad Traur.

1208
00:59:56,520 --> 01:00:03,240
Hamad Traur as well but towards the end as well as well but when you look at the figures

1209
01:00:03,240 --> 01:00:08,120
of Berardi and of Skamaka you can't really compare anyone else to that.

1210
01:00:08,120 --> 01:00:10,120
You can't even compare Skamaka to Berardi.

1211
01:00:10,120 --> 01:00:12,760
Exactly Berardi is in a close of his own over there.

1212
01:00:12,760 --> 01:00:13,760
But anyway flop.

1213
01:00:13,760 --> 01:00:14,760
Kirikas.

1214
01:00:14,760 --> 01:00:15,760
Kirikas.

1215
01:00:15,760 --> 01:00:16,760
Fuck you Kirikas.

1216
01:00:16,760 --> 01:00:17,760
I'm going to go fuck.

1217
01:00:17,760 --> 01:00:18,760
I hope you don't listen bro.

1218
01:00:18,760 --> 01:00:21,760
Odineze who's your top?

1219
01:00:21,760 --> 01:00:22,760
Deo Lefeo.

1220
01:00:22,760 --> 01:00:28,360
I put Deo Lefeo but I also put Molina.

1221
01:00:28,360 --> 01:00:29,360
Bro I put Molina.

1222
01:00:29,360 --> 01:00:30,360
Remember Deo Lefeo exists.

1223
01:00:30,360 --> 01:00:32,560
Thought I was an idiot.

1224
01:00:32,560 --> 01:00:33,560
Removed Molina.

1225
01:00:33,560 --> 01:00:34,560
Put Deo Lefeo.

1226
01:00:34,560 --> 01:00:37,440
But I put Molina because expectations then were low.

1227
01:00:37,440 --> 01:00:42,040
Well not low but everyone thought alright they have a good right wing back.

1228
01:00:42,040 --> 01:00:43,720
But no one expected him to be this good.

1229
01:00:43,720 --> 01:00:44,720
Exactly.

1230
01:00:44,720 --> 01:00:47,280
But yeah bro two very good shouts of course.

1231
01:00:47,280 --> 01:00:49,760
It's difficult I think for me.

1232
01:00:49,760 --> 01:00:50,760
Still Deo Lefeo probably.

1233
01:00:50,760 --> 01:00:51,760
Deo Lefeo takes the cake.

1234
01:00:51,760 --> 01:00:52,760
Molina has a cool shot.

1235
01:00:52,760 --> 01:00:55,760
I agree.

1236
01:00:55,760 --> 01:00:56,760
And your flop.

1237
01:00:56,760 --> 01:01:03,840
No man I couldn't really identify a weakness per se but I think considering last year he

1238
01:01:03,840 --> 01:01:04,840
had a pretty good season.

1239
01:01:04,840 --> 01:01:07,240
I think I know what you're going to say and I think I said the same thing.

1240
01:01:07,240 --> 01:01:08,840
This year he was a bit shaky.

1241
01:01:08,840 --> 01:01:09,840
No you think?

1242
01:01:09,840 --> 01:01:10,840
Same.

1243
01:01:10,840 --> 01:01:11,840
It's really look.

1244
01:01:11,840 --> 01:01:12,840
Bram.

1245
01:01:12,840 --> 01:01:13,840
Big dick Bram.

1246
01:01:13,840 --> 01:01:16,840
That's the wildest assumption.

1247
01:01:16,840 --> 01:01:19,160
He is looking lean.

1248
01:01:19,160 --> 01:01:20,160
He is.

1249
01:01:20,160 --> 01:01:21,160
He's looking lean.

1250
01:01:21,160 --> 01:01:22,160
He looks in really good shape.

1251
01:01:22,160 --> 01:01:23,160
He's been cutting.

1252
01:01:23,160 --> 01:01:24,160
Bolonja.

1253
01:01:24,160 --> 01:01:25,160
Big Bram.

1254
01:01:25,160 --> 01:01:34,240
Bolonja their top I went a bit cultural rather than just saying Arnautovic and I said Skorupski.

1255
01:01:34,240 --> 01:01:36,800
Skorupski had a great season.

1256
01:01:36,800 --> 01:01:41,400
Hickey had a great season but the top for me is Arnautovic.

1257
01:01:41,400 --> 01:01:42,840
They haven't had a striker in ages.

1258
01:01:42,840 --> 01:01:46,320
They got one and he scored what 13, 14 goals.

1259
01:01:46,320 --> 01:01:47,320
Something like that.

1260
01:01:47,320 --> 01:01:52,160
And the same argument you had about Chiron.

1261
01:01:52,160 --> 01:01:54,120
The same argument I had about Simeone.

1262
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:57,200
I feel like he scores a lot in the same matches.

1263
01:01:57,200 --> 01:01:59,840
I could get a brace here and a brace there.

1264
01:01:59,840 --> 01:02:02,480
I don't think decisively.

1265
01:02:02,480 --> 01:02:04,320
I'm wrong because he's done it.

1266
01:02:04,320 --> 01:02:10,360
He has definitely done it but I just really want to give the benefit of the doubt to Skorupski

1267
01:02:10,360 --> 01:02:13,320
because he was unbelievable at times.

1268
01:02:13,320 --> 01:02:18,040
He was seriously unbelievable but he had a shaky start.

1269
01:02:18,040 --> 01:02:19,040
Yeah true.

1270
01:02:19,040 --> 01:02:22,440
I'm just going to stick to Warny though.

1271
01:02:22,440 --> 01:02:23,440
Flop.

1272
01:02:23,440 --> 01:02:25,440
Flop for Bolonja.

1273
01:02:25,440 --> 01:02:26,960
Jesus I lost where I was.

1274
01:02:26,960 --> 01:02:27,960
This was tough.

1275
01:02:27,960 --> 01:02:32,000
I had such a difficult time coming up with the flop.

1276
01:02:32,000 --> 01:02:33,000
I ended up putting Sansone.

1277
01:02:33,000 --> 01:02:35,520
Sansone, it's not a bad option.

1278
01:02:35,520 --> 01:02:36,520
I put Orsalini man.

1279
01:02:36,520 --> 01:02:37,520
Orsalini didn't.

1280
01:02:37,520 --> 01:02:40,520
I think he shows it a little bit when it comes on.

1281
01:02:40,520 --> 01:02:44,760
He's off the bench and he does score, it's true, but he didn't cement his starting spot

1282
01:02:44,760 --> 01:02:45,760
again.

1283
01:02:45,760 --> 01:02:46,760
This guy's getting in here.

1284
01:02:46,760 --> 01:02:47,760
It's true.

1285
01:02:47,760 --> 01:02:48,760
Nor did Soriano.

1286
01:02:48,760 --> 01:02:50,840
Soriano's a good shout for flop man.

1287
01:02:50,840 --> 01:02:52,160
Soriano's probably the flop.

1288
01:02:52,160 --> 01:02:59,200
They both lost their places to Schouten and who was the other guy?

1289
01:02:59,200 --> 01:03:01,200
De Silvestro starting over Orsalini.

1290
01:03:01,200 --> 01:03:02,200
They were playing a 3-5-2.

1291
01:03:02,200 --> 01:03:07,000
I guess the formation doesn't favour Orsalini at all.

1292
01:03:07,000 --> 01:03:11,880
And that's why I was slightly reluctant to put Orsalini to be honest.

1293
01:03:11,880 --> 01:03:15,080
I'd say Soriano's more of a shout over him.

1294
01:03:15,080 --> 01:03:20,840
But I don't know, Sansone, it always seems to me like he's slightly overrated.

1295
01:03:20,840 --> 01:03:25,480
He's always been kind of a solid player to have.

1296
01:03:25,480 --> 01:03:29,720
You look at him back in his Sasuolo days, back in his Villarreal days.

1297
01:03:29,720 --> 01:03:33,360
He was always a player who would score every now and then.

1298
01:03:33,360 --> 01:03:36,400
He was never quite pivotal in my opinion.

1299
01:03:36,400 --> 01:03:39,840
So I don't know, he hasn't been as good with Bologna.

1300
01:03:39,840 --> 01:03:42,440
Like 84 appearances, 8 goals.

1301
01:03:42,440 --> 01:03:43,440
Those aren't great.

1302
01:03:43,440 --> 01:03:44,440
No, they're not great stats.

1303
01:03:44,440 --> 01:03:48,880
And to be honest, he left a bit of a bad taste in my mouth because in the later stages he

1304
01:03:48,880 --> 01:03:52,240
seemed hungry, he seemed really keen to get his numbers up and that made him slightly

1305
01:03:52,240 --> 01:03:53,240
greedy at times.

1306
01:03:53,240 --> 01:03:54,240
True.

1307
01:03:54,240 --> 01:03:55,720
The whole Bologna effect.

1308
01:03:55,720 --> 01:03:57,640
Yeah, literally.

1309
01:03:57,640 --> 01:04:04,560
So would we stick to mine or would we go for yours, do you think?

1310
01:04:04,560 --> 01:04:08,800
I think we should go for…

1311
01:04:08,800 --> 01:04:09,800
Soriano is a good…

1312
01:04:09,800 --> 01:04:13,080
I think Soriano is the best shout because high expectations again.

1313
01:04:13,080 --> 01:04:15,080
I would agree.

1314
01:04:15,080 --> 01:04:16,080
Empoli?

1315
01:04:16,080 --> 01:04:18,080
Pinamonte top.

1316
01:04:18,080 --> 01:04:19,080
Vicario.

1317
01:04:19,080 --> 01:04:22,160
Oh, you bitch.

1318
01:04:22,160 --> 01:04:23,160
That's a good shout.

1319
01:04:23,160 --> 01:04:24,520
That's a good shout, of course.

1320
01:04:24,520 --> 01:04:26,120
Yours is probably fairer than mine.

1321
01:04:26,120 --> 01:04:31,160
Pinamonte, he had his first starting season in Serie A, he got double digits, he nailed

1322
01:04:31,160 --> 01:04:32,160
it.

1323
01:04:32,160 --> 01:04:36,360
He was a good striker, successful season, top player, top season.

1324
01:04:36,360 --> 01:04:37,360
100%.

1325
01:04:37,360 --> 01:04:42,800
And then on the other end, between the sticks, just making miracles at times.

1326
01:04:42,800 --> 01:04:46,720
But then also fucking up occasionally as well.

1327
01:04:46,720 --> 01:04:50,400
You see his inexperience, but his raw talent is unbelievable.

1328
01:04:50,400 --> 01:04:55,120
If he brushes up on his distribution and how he comes out for crosses and stuff, he'll

1329
01:04:55,120 --> 01:04:57,480
be fucking insane one day.

1330
01:04:57,480 --> 01:04:59,080
Flop Cutrone?

1331
01:04:59,080 --> 01:05:00,080
I agree, bro.

1332
01:05:00,080 --> 01:05:03,760
If Cutrone is 24 years old and he still hasn't caught the break that he needs.

1333
01:05:03,760 --> 01:05:08,840
You look at, for example, Pinamonte on the other hand, let's see, he's 23 years old,

1334
01:05:08,840 --> 01:05:10,920
a year younger, and he's had his breakout season.

1335
01:05:10,920 --> 01:05:15,600
Granted, Cutrone did have a season with Milan where he really broke onto the scene, but

1336
01:05:15,600 --> 01:05:18,200
he hasn't managed to replicate that since.

1337
01:05:18,200 --> 01:05:22,440
And I fear his ability to currently play for a team that isn't in the relegation pool

1338
01:05:22,440 --> 01:05:23,440
in this area.

1339
01:05:23,440 --> 01:05:30,040
Cutrone is a very average player when it comes to his ability, but he is a beast mentally

1340
01:05:30,040 --> 01:05:32,840
and that's what has given him good spells.

1341
01:05:32,840 --> 01:05:36,720
He can't rely on his technical ability to get him anywhere.

1342
01:05:36,720 --> 01:05:38,760
So it's all about the confidence that he's building.

1343
01:05:38,760 --> 01:05:39,760
It's the rhythm he's in.

1344
01:05:39,760 --> 01:05:40,760
It's his fight.

1345
01:05:40,760 --> 01:05:41,760
I'm not listening to you.

1346
01:05:41,760 --> 01:05:57,240
I'm watching a video of Salerno Tane getting promoted.

1347
01:05:57,240 --> 01:05:58,240
Let's keep it together.

1348
01:05:58,240 --> 01:06:00,240
Where were we, bro?

1349
01:06:00,240 --> 01:06:02,240
You really threw me off.

1350
01:06:02,240 --> 01:06:08,080
We were talking about Cutrone being shit.

1351
01:06:08,080 --> 01:06:09,480
That's one way to put it.

1352
01:06:09,480 --> 01:06:10,480
Sampdoria.

1353
01:06:10,480 --> 01:06:11,480
Next.

1354
01:06:11,480 --> 01:06:12,480
Sampdoria.

1355
01:06:12,480 --> 01:06:15,680
My top is Candreva.

1356
01:06:15,680 --> 01:06:20,960
Candreva seemed to slow down when it comes to his contributions, but his numbers are

1357
01:06:20,960 --> 01:06:21,960
still fucking crazy.

1358
01:06:21,960 --> 01:06:22,960
They are.

1359
01:06:22,960 --> 01:06:24,960
Look, it was between him and Caputo.

1360
01:06:24,960 --> 01:06:27,160
Caputo then grew into the season.

1361
01:06:27,160 --> 01:06:28,640
They had reverse seasons.

1362
01:06:28,640 --> 01:06:29,640
Exactly.

1363
01:06:29,640 --> 01:06:35,680
So I put Caputo and Candreva in that order because growing into the season to me is more

1364
01:06:35,680 --> 01:06:37,880
important than slipping up and being really good in the beginning.

1365
01:06:37,880 --> 01:06:38,880
Fair enough.

1366
01:06:38,880 --> 01:06:41,640
I think Candreva really contributed to some very important points that they got early

1367
01:06:41,640 --> 01:06:42,640
on.

1368
01:06:42,640 --> 01:06:43,640
That's true.

1369
01:06:43,640 --> 01:06:44,640
That would have saved them from relegation.

1370
01:06:44,640 --> 01:06:45,640
Flop.

1371
01:06:45,640 --> 01:06:46,640
Giovinco.

1372
01:06:46,640 --> 01:06:48,800
I put Giovinco slash Qualiarella.

1373
01:06:48,800 --> 01:06:51,720
So Giovinco for sure.

1374
01:06:51,720 --> 01:06:55,360
Why the fuck were we remotely excited to see him back in the league if he wasn't going

1375
01:06:55,360 --> 01:06:56,360
to get to the upper 20s?

1376
01:06:56,360 --> 01:06:57,360
Well, he did.

1377
01:06:57,360 --> 01:06:58,360
He played a bit.

1378
01:06:58,360 --> 01:06:59,360
And he was rubbish.

1379
01:06:59,360 --> 01:07:03,160
Yeah, he looked like a fucking fish out of water.

1380
01:07:03,160 --> 01:07:07,120
Qualiarella then, I mean, a bit of a flop because we saw what he's capable of at an

1381
01:07:07,120 --> 01:07:08,920
old age, but it's showing now.

1382
01:07:08,920 --> 01:07:10,480
His age is really showing.

1383
01:07:10,480 --> 01:07:15,000
Yeah, I put for the vast majority of the season, Audaro, but he had his moments as well.

1384
01:07:15,000 --> 01:07:18,120
But he came back and then he fought back to earn his spot back.

1385
01:07:18,120 --> 01:07:20,640
So that's why I would say Giovinco over him.

1386
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:21,640
Same.

1387
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:23,440
Spezia, top, Providen.

1388
01:07:23,440 --> 01:07:25,480
Ooh, a good shout.

1389
01:07:25,480 --> 01:07:26,480
A very good shout.

1390
01:07:26,480 --> 01:07:27,480
I put Verde.

1391
01:07:27,480 --> 01:07:29,800
Yeah, Verde was my second option.

1392
01:07:29,800 --> 01:07:34,120
Whenever he comes on or whenever he's playing, there's just some life to Spezia.

1393
01:07:34,120 --> 01:07:36,440
He played very boring football at times.

1394
01:07:36,440 --> 01:07:38,800
Technically, he's their best player for sure.

1395
01:07:38,800 --> 01:07:39,800
I agree.

1396
01:07:39,800 --> 01:07:42,960
And then there's Bastoni, who is always a good shout.

1397
01:07:42,960 --> 01:07:47,520
He wasn't as influential this season because he had more problems than usual, you know,

1398
01:07:47,520 --> 01:07:49,320
injury wise.

1399
01:07:49,320 --> 01:07:52,240
So yeah, I would say I would say Providen was the best player for Spezia.

1400
01:07:52,240 --> 01:07:53,240
Fair enough.

1401
01:07:53,240 --> 01:07:54,240
Fair enough.

1402
01:07:54,240 --> 01:07:55,240
Your flop?

1403
01:07:55,240 --> 01:07:56,240
Okay.

1404
01:07:56,240 --> 01:07:57,240
I put Nzola.

1405
01:07:57,240 --> 01:08:00,240
Nzola is a good shout as well.

1406
01:08:00,240 --> 01:08:03,760
Nzola, you know, after the end of last season where he kind of…

1407
01:08:03,760 --> 01:08:09,720
No, he exploded right before the winter Mercato last season.

1408
01:08:09,720 --> 01:08:13,000
Everyone bought him on fantasy football and he didn't score a single goal ever again.

1409
01:08:13,000 --> 01:08:17,000
Like, I think he scored maybe since then, he scored one or two.

1410
01:08:17,000 --> 01:08:18,360
But yeah, he's definitely a flop.

1411
01:08:18,360 --> 01:08:19,480
It's time to go.

1412
01:08:19,480 --> 01:08:25,160
I put Manay because Manay plays more and he honestly looks terrible half the time he plays.

1413
01:08:25,160 --> 01:08:29,560
He's a Barcelona youth product, Manay.

1414
01:08:29,560 --> 01:08:31,840
You know, he should be playing better than he is.

1415
01:08:31,840 --> 01:08:32,840
Perhaps.

1416
01:08:32,840 --> 01:08:33,840
Still fucking better than Nzola.

1417
01:08:33,840 --> 01:08:34,840
Manay plays.

1418
01:08:34,840 --> 01:08:35,840
That's what's not fair.

1419
01:08:35,840 --> 01:08:36,840
That's true.

1420
01:08:36,840 --> 01:08:37,840
That's true.

1421
01:08:37,840 --> 01:08:39,840
I get where you're coming from, bro.

1422
01:08:39,840 --> 01:08:44,160
Salernitana, top, Bonazzoli.

1423
01:08:44,160 --> 01:08:46,480
And then there's Verdi since he's come in.

1424
01:08:46,480 --> 01:08:47,480
Yeah.

1425
01:08:47,480 --> 01:08:48,480
He's been really good.

1426
01:08:48,480 --> 01:08:50,520
I put him there.

1427
01:08:50,520 --> 01:08:52,560
Flop Ribery, easy.

1428
01:08:52,560 --> 01:08:55,760
Yes, actually, Ribery, I forgot about him.

1429
01:08:55,760 --> 01:08:56,760
I put Di Takio.

1430
01:08:56,760 --> 01:08:59,760
But I guess he had no expectations.

1431
01:08:59,760 --> 01:09:02,360
After Ribery, I put Perotti.

1432
01:09:02,360 --> 01:09:04,360
That's a good shout.

1433
01:09:04,360 --> 01:09:09,680
Well, he didn't contribute, but he actually played well out on the left side.

1434
01:09:09,680 --> 01:09:11,160
He was holding up the ball well.

1435
01:09:11,160 --> 01:09:13,800
He'd come on in the last few moments, helped create a bit.

1436
01:09:13,800 --> 01:09:14,800
He had good moments.

1437
01:09:14,800 --> 01:09:18,000
He missed the penalty, a very important penalty for them.

1438
01:09:18,000 --> 01:09:20,360
But I wouldn't call him essentially a flop.

1439
01:09:20,360 --> 01:09:22,280
Ribery is more of a flop.

1440
01:09:22,280 --> 01:09:23,920
Yeah, Ribery 100%.

1441
01:09:23,920 --> 01:09:24,920
100%.

1442
01:09:24,920 --> 01:09:25,920
Kaleri.

1443
01:09:25,920 --> 01:09:26,920
Top, Joao.

1444
01:09:26,920 --> 01:09:27,920
Joao Pedro, top.

1445
01:09:27,920 --> 01:09:28,920
Joao Pedro, easy.

1446
01:09:28,920 --> 01:09:29,920
Flop.

1447
01:09:29,920 --> 01:09:32,040
Nandez, still, I had him in January and I have him now.

1448
01:09:32,040 --> 01:09:34,880
I would say not Nandez because he was injured for too long.

1449
01:09:34,880 --> 01:09:39,040
I'd say Pavoletti, man, because sometimes they look like they're a man down with him

1450
01:09:39,040 --> 01:09:40,040
playing.

1451
01:09:40,040 --> 01:09:44,360
And even Keita Balde, man, not managing to cement his spot in this.

1452
01:09:44,360 --> 01:09:45,360
It's true.

1453
01:09:45,360 --> 01:09:49,520
Granted, they're a good team, but he could have easily found a starting spot in this

1454
01:09:49,520 --> 01:09:50,520
game.

1455
01:09:50,520 --> 01:09:51,520
Knowing his quality.

1456
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:53,960
Keita on the CV, just because of that, typically.

1457
01:09:53,960 --> 01:09:54,960
Literally.

1458
01:09:54,960 --> 01:09:58,760
And when a team is struggling, like, you have to step up.

1459
01:09:58,760 --> 01:09:59,760
It's as simple as that.

1460
01:09:59,760 --> 01:10:01,680
If you step up, you're going to get minutes.

1461
01:10:01,680 --> 01:10:03,680
Save your boys.

1462
01:10:03,680 --> 01:10:04,680
Exactly.

1463
01:10:04,680 --> 01:10:07,320
Next is Genoa.

1464
01:10:07,320 --> 01:10:10,360
Top, this was a real struggle for me.

1465
01:10:10,360 --> 01:10:11,360
Genoa.

1466
01:10:11,360 --> 01:10:12,760
For me, I picked a player that's impressed me.

1467
01:10:12,760 --> 01:10:14,320
It was between two players who have impressed me.

1468
01:10:14,320 --> 01:10:18,160
It was between Cambiasso, who's impressed me, but I wouldn't say enough to be a top.

1469
01:10:18,160 --> 01:10:22,360
But a very solid player for them throughout the entire season was Vasquez, and I put him

1470
01:10:22,360 --> 01:10:23,360
as my top.

1471
01:10:23,360 --> 01:10:24,360
Okay, good shout.

1472
01:10:24,360 --> 01:10:25,360
Good shout.

1473
01:10:25,360 --> 01:10:28,760
I struggled way, way, way too much with this one.

1474
01:10:28,760 --> 01:10:33,240
Obviously, there's the debate of Destra, because he's their top goal scorer.

1475
01:10:33,240 --> 01:10:37,840
There's the option of Van Hoysden, that when it comes to a player that came out of nowhere

1476
01:10:37,840 --> 01:10:43,240
and showed that he was good, really good, Van Hoysden.

1477
01:10:43,240 --> 01:10:46,960
And then there's Cirigo as well, who at times where they were terrible, he really kept them

1478
01:10:46,960 --> 01:10:47,960
in it.

1479
01:10:47,960 --> 01:10:51,000
But Vasquez is a great shout as well.

1480
01:10:51,000 --> 01:10:53,680
So who's your official lancer?

1481
01:10:53,680 --> 01:10:55,680
I think I'll stick to Cirigo.

1482
01:10:55,680 --> 01:10:57,800
Cirigo is a good shout, man.

1483
01:10:57,800 --> 01:11:00,720
He had a few amazing saves, rolling back the years.

1484
01:11:00,720 --> 01:11:01,720
Flop.

1485
01:11:01,720 --> 01:11:02,720
Ekoban.

1486
01:11:02,720 --> 01:11:05,160
He didn't exactly have an easy time, bro.

1487
01:11:05,160 --> 01:11:06,160
Ekoban, right?

1488
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:07,160
What do you mean?

1489
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:09,440
He didn't have an easy time this season.

1490
01:11:09,440 --> 01:11:11,440
He wasn't good at all.

1491
01:11:11,440 --> 01:11:15,880
No, I thought you were going to talk about some injury that I was unaware of.

1492
01:11:15,880 --> 01:11:16,880
No, no.

1493
01:11:16,880 --> 01:11:19,120
He had a very tough time.

1494
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:25,800
I would say the flop would be the man they brought in to try to actually save the show.

1495
01:11:25,800 --> 01:11:26,800
Piccoli.

1496
01:11:26,800 --> 01:11:31,720
Piccoli came in from Atalanta and like, again, struggled a bit with injuries, granted, but

1497
01:11:31,720 --> 01:11:33,720
didn't even score, man.

1498
01:11:33,720 --> 01:11:34,720
It's true, it's true.

1499
01:11:34,720 --> 01:11:37,400
Piccoli, to be honest, I didn't even think of Piccoli.

1500
01:11:37,400 --> 01:11:41,320
It could be Piccoli, to be completely honest.

1501
01:11:41,320 --> 01:11:46,240
And Atalanta made a mistake getting rid of him.

1502
01:11:46,240 --> 01:11:50,440
It's true, because then they ended up playing with Mahal up front.

1503
01:11:50,440 --> 01:11:51,440
Exactly.

1504
01:11:51,440 --> 01:11:52,440
But anyway, Venecia.

1505
01:11:52,440 --> 01:11:53,440
Top, Aramu.

1506
01:11:53,440 --> 01:11:54,440
Aramu, yep.

1507
01:11:54,440 --> 01:11:55,440
It was between Aramu, Kareke.

1508
01:11:55,440 --> 01:11:56,440
Shout out to Ampadu, Okareke.

1509
01:11:56,440 --> 01:11:57,440
The most dynamic player in the league.

1510
01:11:57,440 --> 01:11:58,440
The most dynamic player in the league.

1511
01:11:58,440 --> 01:11:59,440
The most dynamic player in the league.

1512
01:11:59,440 --> 01:12:00,440
The most dynamic player in the league.

1513
01:12:00,440 --> 01:12:01,440
The most dynamic player in the league.

1514
01:12:01,440 --> 01:12:02,440
Flop is Lennani.

1515
01:12:02,440 --> 01:12:05,440
Lennani, or Kuisance, I would say, but Lennani mostly.

1516
01:12:05,440 --> 01:12:06,440
Kuisance, really?

1517
01:12:06,440 --> 01:12:09,720
I mean, Bayern Munich player, you know, high expectations.

1518
01:12:09,720 --> 01:12:12,640
Again, wasn't insane, you know.

1519
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:14,480
Lennani, though, takes the cake by far.

1520
01:12:14,480 --> 01:12:18,560
I mean, expectations were so high, and he fucking did nothing.

1521
01:12:18,560 --> 01:12:19,560
That's true.

1522
01:12:19,560 --> 01:12:20,560
That's true.

1523
01:12:20,560 --> 01:12:24,960
So let us know, guys, what you agree with and disagree with on Twitter or Instagram,

1524
01:12:24,960 --> 01:12:32,160
if you think anything was fucking catastrophic or disastrous as a statement.

1525
01:12:32,160 --> 01:12:34,120
Just message us that we're stupid, please.

1526
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,120
We'd love to hear from you.

1527
01:12:36,120 --> 01:12:39,680
Shall we move on to the team of the season?

1528
01:12:39,680 --> 01:12:40,680
Yes.

1529
01:12:40,680 --> 01:12:41,960
Oh, this is my favorite part, I think.

1530
01:12:41,960 --> 01:12:43,360
But I'm so excited for this.

1531
01:12:43,360 --> 01:12:45,640
I don't have it written, I have it memorized in my noggin.

1532
01:12:45,640 --> 01:12:46,640
Yes.

1533
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:47,640
So we're going 3-5-2.

1534
01:12:47,640 --> 01:12:48,640
3-5-2.

1535
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:54,280
Are we going, for example, before we start, players in the 3-5-2, how strict to their

1536
01:12:54,280 --> 01:12:55,480
position do they have to be?

1537
01:12:55,480 --> 01:13:01,560
Like, for example, if you put them as a fullback, like as a wingback in a 3-5-2, do they have

1538
01:13:01,560 --> 01:13:05,600
to be defensively aware?

1539
01:13:05,600 --> 01:13:08,960
Do they have to contribute defensively, or is it just they play on the left, so I'm going

1540
01:13:08,960 --> 01:13:10,720
to pop them there?

1541
01:13:10,720 --> 01:13:15,120
Let's cross those bridges when we get to them.

1542
01:13:15,120 --> 01:13:19,200
We can make some exceptions here and there in that case.

1543
01:13:19,200 --> 01:13:22,960
So keeper, shall we do it in turns, who goes first?

1544
01:13:22,960 --> 01:13:24,960
So first you go first, then me.

1545
01:13:24,960 --> 01:13:29,600
I'd like to say Mike Mannyan because he had an astronomical season.

1546
01:13:29,600 --> 01:13:32,520
He's a fantastic goalkeeper and a great leader.

1547
01:13:32,520 --> 01:13:35,240
He's just overall what a steal.

1548
01:13:35,240 --> 01:13:37,720
Paolo Maldini bringing him in, fantastic.

1549
01:13:37,720 --> 01:13:39,520
Vicario, I'm joking.

1550
01:13:39,520 --> 01:13:46,320
Mannyan is one of the greatest goalkeepers in the world at the moment.

1551
01:13:46,320 --> 01:13:53,200
The saves he produces and his distribution and the way he leads the defence and the fact

1552
01:13:53,200 --> 01:13:57,760
that he's 26 years old, he's so athletic as well.

1553
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:02,400
We saw him make one mistake, one slash two mistakes in the Salah el-Nitana game, but

1554
01:14:02,400 --> 01:14:03,400
otherwise flawless.

1555
01:14:03,400 --> 01:14:06,920
One of the best goalkeepers in the world this season.

1556
01:14:06,920 --> 01:14:07,920
Love him, love him.

1557
01:14:07,920 --> 01:14:11,920
Now shall we do defender by defender or the three defenders?

1558
01:14:11,920 --> 01:14:12,920
I think centre-back.

1559
01:14:12,920 --> 01:14:15,920
Sorry, we're going to debate centre-back by centre-back.

1560
01:14:15,920 --> 01:14:16,920
I'll go first.

1561
01:14:16,920 --> 01:14:18,920
No, it's my turn now.

1562
01:14:18,920 --> 01:14:20,920
Sure, go for it.

1563
01:14:20,920 --> 01:14:23,920
Bremer, Tomori, Skriniar.

1564
01:14:23,920 --> 01:14:24,920
Very good.

1565
01:14:24,920 --> 01:14:27,920
Bremer, Tomori and…

1566
01:14:27,920 --> 01:14:30,920
Kalulu's a shout.

1567
01:14:30,920 --> 01:14:33,920
Koulibaly's a shout.

1568
01:14:33,920 --> 01:14:38,920
Koulibaly's a shout but he missed a lot.

1569
01:14:38,920 --> 01:14:41,920
You have to say Skriniar, I say Skriniar.

1570
01:14:41,920 --> 01:14:42,920
Tomori Bremer, Skriniar.

1571
01:14:42,920 --> 01:14:47,920
I think it's disrespectful and really biased if we don't put him there.

1572
01:14:47,920 --> 01:14:49,920
Now let's go for the wing backs.

1573
01:14:49,920 --> 01:14:51,920
You say the wing backs.

1574
01:14:51,920 --> 01:14:58,920
I'm going to put on the left, this is the debate, I'm going to put layout bro, I'm

1575
01:14:58,920 --> 01:15:02,920
going to put layout as a wing back and a 3-5-2.

1576
01:15:02,920 --> 01:15:04,920
I guess it's cheating.

1577
01:15:04,920 --> 01:15:09,920
We're not thinking about balance and it is cheating but the idea lay in that position

1578
01:15:09,920 --> 01:15:13,920
that for sure would be per usage but the fact that layout's contribution is actually one

1579
01:15:13,920 --> 01:15:15,920
meal on the league, he's made history.

1580
01:15:15,920 --> 01:15:17,920
You know what, fuck it, we're not looking to…

1581
01:15:17,920 --> 01:15:19,920
He won MVP in Serie A, I have put him there.

1582
01:15:19,920 --> 01:15:20,920
We're not looking to…

1583
01:15:20,920 --> 01:15:21,920
Field this team.

1584
01:15:21,920 --> 01:15:25,920
Field this team and fuck you, layout is the left winger.

1585
01:15:25,920 --> 01:15:30,920
We've told our listeners, no before we told Kirikas, okay we're fine, this is the second

1586
01:15:30,920 --> 01:15:33,920
time, you just told our listeners to go fuck themselves bro.

1587
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:36,920
No, no, it's bands, they get it.

1588
01:15:36,920 --> 01:15:43,920
So I would say layout, then in that case you put Berardi on the right.

1589
01:15:43,920 --> 01:15:46,920
Exactly, layout on the left, Berardi on the right.

1590
01:15:46,920 --> 01:15:51,920
Oh I had a really cultured choice in how I really cultured decision.

1591
01:15:51,920 --> 01:15:53,920
No, I had Molina.

1592
01:15:53,920 --> 01:15:54,920
Oh, very nice.

1593
01:15:54,920 --> 01:15:57,920
It would have been a really nice shout but if we're doing it like this we'd fuck it

1594
01:15:57,920 --> 01:15:59,920
to be honest, it should be.

1595
01:15:59,920 --> 01:16:01,920
We should make a hipster 11 after.

1596
01:16:01,920 --> 01:16:02,920
That's true.

1597
01:16:02,920 --> 01:16:06,920
We should have done like an under 23 one or something like that.

1598
01:16:06,920 --> 01:16:08,920
That's a good one for the next episode maybe.

1599
01:16:08,920 --> 01:16:09,920
Nice.

1600
01:16:09,920 --> 01:16:11,920
Center midfielders, we need three.

1601
01:16:11,920 --> 01:16:13,920
Now my three are…

1602
01:16:13,920 --> 01:16:14,920
Mine, mine, mine.

1603
01:16:14,920 --> 01:16:16,920
Okay sure, go for it.

1604
01:16:16,920 --> 01:16:21,920
Milinkovic Savic, Tonali and Brozovic.

1605
01:16:21,920 --> 01:16:24,920
We're so boring man, I have the exact same three.

1606
01:16:24,920 --> 01:16:27,920
I have the exact same three bro.

1607
01:16:27,920 --> 01:16:33,920
But I mean the only one that's debatable that you can take out if you're looking at

1608
01:16:33,920 --> 01:16:37,920
contributions, if you're looking to be that guy, it's Tonali.

1609
01:16:37,920 --> 01:16:38,920
Exactly.

1610
01:16:38,920 --> 01:16:41,920
But Tonali had moments where he won Milan de Ligue.

1611
01:16:41,920 --> 01:16:42,920
Exactly, exactly.

1612
01:16:42,920 --> 01:16:43,920
His goal.

1613
01:16:43,920 --> 01:16:46,920
If you watch football you choose Tonali for that position.

1614
01:16:46,920 --> 01:16:49,920
Same with Brozovic to be honest, doesn't have much contribution to him but if you watch

1615
01:16:49,920 --> 01:16:52,920
fucking football then you choose Brozovic.

1616
01:16:52,920 --> 01:16:59,920
Now the competitors for Tonali in this position for me were Cialanoglu and Pellegrini.

1617
01:16:59,920 --> 01:17:00,920
Yes.

1618
01:17:00,920 --> 01:17:06,920
I would say that Tonali overall his season was better obviously, who's happier right

1619
01:17:06,920 --> 01:17:07,920
now?

1620
01:17:07,920 --> 01:17:08,920
I agree, I agree.

1621
01:17:08,920 --> 01:17:14,920
I saw this post by this Inter fan page saying that Cialanoglu won with the move because

1622
01:17:14,920 --> 01:17:17,920
he won two trophies and Milan won one.

1623
01:17:17,920 --> 01:17:26,920
I mean you can't really help this person eh.

1624
01:17:26,920 --> 01:17:27,920
Fair enough.

1625
01:17:27,920 --> 01:17:29,920
Strikers is the easiest in the fucking world.

1626
01:17:29,920 --> 01:17:31,920
It isn't and I have a feeling we're going to disagree.

1627
01:17:31,920 --> 01:17:34,920
Do I have to say am I first now or am I jumping the gun yet again?

1628
01:17:34,920 --> 01:17:37,920
Bro, we decided that we're going to take it in terms.

1629
01:17:37,920 --> 01:17:39,920
I know and I can't keep up.

1630
01:17:39,920 --> 01:17:41,920
God knows which is which.

1631
01:17:41,920 --> 01:17:42,920
Now it's you.

1632
01:17:42,920 --> 01:17:43,920
Okay, now it's me.

1633
01:17:43,920 --> 01:17:49,920
One striker is a mobile of course and the other strikers between two people and almost

1634
01:17:49,920 --> 01:17:54,920
one excludes the other.

1635
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:58,920
Okay, I'm going to go for literally output.

1636
01:17:58,920 --> 01:18:00,920
Vlaović, fuck it.

1637
01:18:00,920 --> 01:18:01,920
100% bro.

1638
01:18:01,920 --> 01:18:02,920
Who are you?

1639
01:18:02,920 --> 01:18:08,920
Because if I look in terms of quality, in terms of talent and in terms of pure ability,

1640
01:18:08,920 --> 01:18:11,920
I think Ozzyman takes the cake over Vlaović bro.

1641
01:18:11,920 --> 01:18:14,920
I'm sorry that's just it's something I strongly believe.

1642
01:18:14,920 --> 01:18:19,920
I think Ozzyman is a better striker than Vlaović.

1643
01:18:19,920 --> 01:18:20,920
I disagree.

1644
01:18:20,920 --> 01:18:21,920
I disagree.

1645
01:18:21,920 --> 01:18:22,920
Is it what?

1646
01:18:22,920 --> 01:18:23,920
Is it because of the uve spell?

1647
01:18:23,920 --> 01:18:25,920
No bro, no it's not.

1648
01:18:25,920 --> 01:18:27,920
It's just the fact.

1649
01:18:27,920 --> 01:18:29,920
He's unplayable Vlaović.

1650
01:18:29,920 --> 01:18:32,920
Vlaović can be zoned out of games and we've seen it.

1651
01:18:32,920 --> 01:18:33,920
I don't think so.

1652
01:18:33,920 --> 01:18:35,920
With uve we've seen it so many times.

1653
01:18:35,920 --> 01:18:38,920
No, but that's because he's not exploited in his position.

1654
01:18:38,920 --> 01:18:42,920
He's not deployed as a fucking goal scoring striker.

1655
01:18:42,920 --> 01:18:44,920
We've discussed this.

1656
01:18:44,920 --> 01:18:46,920
I think, I think.

1657
01:18:46,920 --> 01:18:50,920
He's put in positions, granted he doesn't get, exactly he doesn't get the service.

1658
01:18:50,920 --> 01:18:53,920
That's the problem because he's put in the position to score bro.

1659
01:18:53,920 --> 01:18:54,920
He's in the box all the time.

1660
01:18:54,920 --> 01:18:56,920
He's always on the defensive line.

1661
01:18:56,920 --> 01:19:01,920
You're going to compare the chances he used to get in an Italiano system and the chances that he gets now in an Almeida system.

1662
01:19:01,920 --> 01:19:03,920
Of course, but that's my point entirely.

1663
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:09,920
If Napoli are shitting the bed, Ozymen single-handedly solo charges the entire attack.

1664
01:19:09,920 --> 01:19:11,920
And I don't see Vlaović doing that.

1665
01:19:11,920 --> 01:19:15,920
I think Ozymen as a player has the potential to be unplayable.

1666
01:19:15,920 --> 01:19:17,920
I'm talking about a 100 million euro player.

1667
01:19:17,920 --> 01:19:18,920
Vlaović can hit free kicks.

1668
01:19:18,920 --> 01:19:19,920
He can hit it from distance.

1669
01:19:19,920 --> 01:19:21,920
He can play a guy in as well.

1670
01:19:21,920 --> 01:19:23,920
He's good in the air as well.

1671
01:19:23,920 --> 01:19:25,920
I think he's better in the air than Ozymen.

1672
01:19:25,920 --> 01:19:32,920
They both bring something bro, but I think Vlaović has proven that he is a better striker than Ozymen.

1673
01:19:32,920 --> 01:19:36,920
I know that Ozymen had his injuries, two bad injuries.

1674
01:19:36,920 --> 01:19:38,920
He has many injuries, but that's the thing.

1675
01:19:38,920 --> 01:19:39,920
He always overcomes it.

1676
01:19:39,920 --> 01:19:41,920
Next season we'll find out who's better.

1677
01:19:41,920 --> 01:19:43,920
That's what we said last season for this one.

1678
01:19:43,920 --> 01:19:46,920
He got injured again, so now we'll see.

1679
01:19:46,920 --> 01:19:47,920
True, true.

1680
01:19:47,920 --> 01:19:50,920
And coach of the season.

1681
01:19:50,920 --> 01:19:51,920
Piole.

1682
01:19:51,920 --> 01:19:52,920
Piole's on fire, baby.

1683
01:19:52,920 --> 01:19:53,920
Piole.

1684
01:19:53,920 --> 01:19:55,920
Okay, let's do our top three.

1685
01:19:55,920 --> 01:19:57,920
So we make this a bit more exciting.

1686
01:19:57,920 --> 01:20:00,920
I would say my top three would be in this order.

1687
01:20:00,920 --> 01:20:05,920
I would say Piole, Nicola, Italiano.

1688
01:20:05,920 --> 01:20:12,920
Piole, Nicola, Inzaghi, and then Italiano.

1689
01:20:12,920 --> 01:20:13,920
Okay.

1690
01:20:13,920 --> 01:20:15,920
Because, you know, Inzaghi, it would be very...

1691
01:20:15,920 --> 01:20:19,920
There's Juric and Tudor, which are great three.

1692
01:20:19,920 --> 01:20:21,920
Not of three though.

1693
01:20:21,920 --> 01:20:23,920
I'm gonna fucking...

1694
01:20:23,920 --> 01:20:29,920
Is it crazy if I put Tudor, man, for the way he turned things around?

1695
01:20:29,920 --> 01:20:31,920
I mean, it wouldn't be crazy, bro.

1696
01:20:31,920 --> 01:20:33,920
He had an impressive...

1697
01:20:33,920 --> 01:20:34,920
What he did is impressive.

1698
01:20:34,920 --> 01:20:37,920
Ah, but Italiano. Italiano changed.

1699
01:20:37,920 --> 01:20:40,920
Italiano as well, bro, but Italiano lost games 4-0.

1700
01:20:40,920 --> 01:20:41,920
I guess.

1701
01:20:41,920 --> 01:20:43,920
You know what I mean? That's what puts me off.

1702
01:20:43,920 --> 01:20:50,920
Inzaghi got a weekend inter and kept them as title contenders till the very last day.

1703
01:20:50,920 --> 01:20:52,920
You know what I mean? Great season.

1704
01:20:52,920 --> 01:20:56,920
I guess you can't have title contenders like inter

1705
01:20:56,920 --> 01:21:00,920
and their coach doesn't get top three praise when he falls down to the last game.

1706
01:21:00,920 --> 01:21:01,920
Exactly.

1707
01:21:01,920 --> 01:21:04,920
His first season with the team who are going through, not a reef shuffle,

1708
01:21:04,920 --> 01:21:06,920
but they lost Hakimi and Lukaku.

1709
01:21:06,920 --> 01:21:08,920
Fuck it. You're right.

1710
01:21:08,920 --> 01:21:10,920
Inzaghi's in third.

1711
01:21:10,920 --> 01:21:12,920
I'm safe to say again, same thing about Spalletti, for example.

1712
01:21:12,920 --> 01:21:13,920
But anyway.

1713
01:21:13,920 --> 01:21:14,920
That's true.

1714
01:21:22,920 --> 01:21:25,920
Welcome back to our question segment.

1715
01:21:25,920 --> 01:21:29,920
You can find us on Instagram or Twitter at, say, Spotlight.

1716
01:21:29,920 --> 01:21:31,920
Drop your questions or your hot takes.

1717
01:21:31,920 --> 01:21:33,920
We will react to anything over here.

1718
01:21:33,920 --> 01:21:34,920
We'll go nuts.

1719
01:21:34,920 --> 01:21:35,920
Shall we?

1720
01:21:35,920 --> 01:21:36,920
We shall.

1721
01:21:36,920 --> 01:21:40,920
The first question comes from Adam underscore Doublay on Instagram.

1722
01:21:40,920 --> 01:21:42,920
Is that how you pronounce that last name?

1723
01:21:42,920 --> 01:21:44,920
I guess. I guess. I think so.

1724
01:21:44,920 --> 01:21:46,920
Thank you very much for listening and for dropping a question.

1725
01:21:46,920 --> 01:21:47,920
Thank you, brother.

1726
01:21:47,920 --> 01:21:50,920
He says, rank the top five league champions in order.

1727
01:21:50,920 --> 01:21:52,920
That's a very good question.

1728
01:21:52,920 --> 01:21:53,920
That's a good one.

1729
01:21:53,920 --> 01:21:55,920
Oh, it starts off weird.

1730
01:21:55,920 --> 01:21:58,920
So let's go through the top five league champions.

1731
01:21:58,920 --> 01:22:03,920
So there's Bayern, there's PSG, there's Real, there's City and there's Milan.

1732
01:22:03,920 --> 01:22:10,920
Obviously, Real beat City in dramatic fashion in the Champions League semi-finals,

1733
01:22:10,920 --> 01:22:15,920
which typically would make people put Real ahead of City.

1734
01:22:15,920 --> 01:22:21,920
However, I think what City show in the Premier League week in, week out,

1735
01:22:21,920 --> 01:22:27,920
90 something points, doing crazy numbers, getting the better of Liverpool throughout.

1736
01:22:27,920 --> 01:22:28,920
I would put City first.

1737
01:22:28,920 --> 01:22:34,920
I think Real just are demonic when it comes to Champions League football.

1738
01:22:34,920 --> 01:22:36,920
Yeah, in fact, that's the reason I put Real in Madrid.

1739
01:22:36,920 --> 01:22:42,920
They won the league and they are in the Champions League final in a season where they've been written off.

1740
01:22:42,920 --> 01:22:44,920
You know, they're a team that's relentless.

1741
01:22:44,920 --> 01:22:46,920
They're a team that's never dead.

1742
01:22:46,920 --> 01:22:48,920
They could be 3-0 down their back.

1743
01:22:48,920 --> 01:22:50,920
They have the ability.

1744
01:22:50,920 --> 01:22:54,920
Real, they have the ability to beat teams that are better than them.

1745
01:22:54,920 --> 01:22:55,920
They don't need to be the better team.

1746
01:22:55,920 --> 01:22:58,920
But they will always be the Galacticos, bro.

1747
01:22:58,920 --> 01:23:04,920
They are the epitome of a godly footballing club.

1748
01:23:04,920 --> 01:23:06,920
So I guess they're the elite for me.

1749
01:23:06,920 --> 01:23:08,920
In my eyes, anyway, they're always the elite.

1750
01:23:08,920 --> 01:23:11,920
And every time I flick on the Champions League, they're there.

1751
01:23:11,920 --> 01:23:13,920
Every time I read news about Champions League, they're there.

1752
01:23:13,920 --> 01:23:17,920
When was the last time they got knocked out in the quarterfinals?

1753
01:23:17,920 --> 01:23:21,920
They got knocked out against Ajax recently, but that was kind of bizarre.

1754
01:23:21,920 --> 01:23:27,920
They did have a bit of a shitty spell in the last year or maybe even two.

1755
01:23:27,920 --> 01:23:31,920
But still, their trophies would beg to differ in those cases as well.

1756
01:23:31,920 --> 01:23:33,920
So let's go Real first.

1757
01:23:33,920 --> 01:23:35,920
No, you can read yours.

1758
01:23:35,920 --> 01:23:36,920
We don't need to agree.

1759
01:23:36,920 --> 01:23:37,920
Okay, cool.

1760
01:23:37,920 --> 01:23:39,920
Well, you've convinced me.

1761
01:23:39,920 --> 01:23:42,920
So Real City, I have so far.

1762
01:23:42,920 --> 01:23:43,920
And then PSG.

1763
01:23:43,920 --> 01:23:46,920
And then I have Bayern.

1764
01:23:46,920 --> 01:23:48,920
You have Bayern ahead of PSG.

1765
01:23:48,920 --> 01:23:50,920
I would put PSG ahead of Bayern.

1766
01:23:50,920 --> 01:23:54,920
I think that individually PSG have a better team than Bayern.

1767
01:23:54,920 --> 01:24:00,920
But when it comes to the way the clubs run, the way the team plays, the structure, the system, Bayern are my...

1768
01:24:00,920 --> 01:24:02,920
I hate PSG.

1769
01:24:02,920 --> 01:24:03,920
I hate PSG.

1770
01:24:03,920 --> 01:24:09,920
And like you're saying, Bayern definitely have better management, but you can't deny the talent that PSG have.

1771
01:24:09,920 --> 01:24:13,920
Individual, yes, but this is the key word here is team.

1772
01:24:13,920 --> 01:24:15,920
I would still say PSG.

1773
01:24:15,920 --> 01:24:19,920
I think PSG get the better of Bayern at the moment.

1774
01:24:19,920 --> 01:24:21,920
A couple of seasons ago, it was different.

1775
01:24:21,920 --> 01:24:27,920
Bayern were better than PSG, but they played against each other in the final when Bayern won back in 2020.

1776
01:24:27,920 --> 01:24:32,920
And then the next season, they played again in the Champions League and PSG got the better of them.

1777
01:24:32,920 --> 01:24:35,920
And they've just seemed a bit better than them since that.

1778
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:37,920
Yeah.

1779
01:24:37,920 --> 01:24:45,920
I would even go as far as saying is that team-wise as a collective, PSG might be the worst of the lot in the top five.

1780
01:24:45,920 --> 01:24:53,920
But of course, I'm going to be a bit more level-headed over here and say that, of course, the new boys to the screw are the worst of the lot.

1781
01:24:53,920 --> 01:24:54,920
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1782
01:24:54,920 --> 01:24:56,920
Like Milan are obviously in fifth, right?

1783
01:24:56,920 --> 01:24:57,920
For sure.

1784
01:24:57,920 --> 01:25:02,920
They have holes in their starting 11, while the other teams have superstars on the bench.

1785
01:25:02,920 --> 01:25:04,920
Milan are under good management.

1786
01:25:04,920 --> 01:25:06,920
They have a financial takeover.

1787
01:25:06,920 --> 01:25:08,920
They could very much get that in the future.

1788
01:25:08,920 --> 01:25:12,920
In the next five years, we could see Milan being there a bit more.

1789
01:25:12,920 --> 01:25:14,920
They're an attractive place to go right now.

1790
01:25:14,920 --> 01:25:18,920
There are a few positions like the right wing and the camp position.

1791
01:25:18,920 --> 01:25:19,920
People are fucking...

1792
01:25:19,920 --> 01:25:20,920
And striker as well.

1793
01:25:20,920 --> 01:25:21,920
Yeah, yeah, exactly.

1794
01:25:21,920 --> 01:25:27,920
Players are looking at them being like, I can be the guy for this team, for the historic Milan team that's just won a Scudetto.

1795
01:25:27,920 --> 01:25:28,920
I can be the main guy.

1796
01:25:28,920 --> 01:25:29,920
Literally.

1797
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:30,920
So yeah, it's very exciting.

1798
01:25:30,920 --> 01:25:31,920
Yep.

1799
01:25:31,920 --> 01:25:34,920
I would say City, Real, PSG, Bayern, Milan.

1800
01:25:34,920 --> 01:25:39,920
Yeah, and I would say Real Madrid City, Bayern, PSG, Milan.

1801
01:25:39,920 --> 01:25:40,920
Fantastic.

1802
01:25:40,920 --> 01:25:41,920
Fantastic.

1803
01:25:41,920 --> 01:25:44,920
The next question comes from our boy Steve Collero.

1804
01:25:44,920 --> 01:25:46,920
Steve758 on Instagram.

1805
01:25:46,920 --> 01:25:47,920
Add him.

1806
01:25:47,920 --> 01:25:49,920
He's fucking sick.

1807
01:25:49,920 --> 01:25:51,920
He says, Leos lost three games.

1808
01:25:51,920 --> 01:25:52,920
Mamma mia.

1809
01:25:52,920 --> 01:25:53,920
It's not a question.

1810
01:25:53,920 --> 01:25:54,920
It's just like, holy shit.

1811
01:25:54,920 --> 01:25:58,920
I agree, bro.

1812
01:25:58,920 --> 01:26:00,920
I agree as fuck.

1813
01:26:00,920 --> 01:26:01,920
I agree.

1814
01:26:01,920 --> 01:26:05,920
Like, we've shown him enough praise in this episode.

1815
01:26:05,920 --> 01:26:09,920
Like he could beat any right back in the world in a one on one.

1816
01:26:09,920 --> 01:26:13,920
He's one of the most dangerous left wingers in the world at the moment, man.

1817
01:26:13,920 --> 01:26:14,920
Hands down.

1818
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:15,920
It's true.

1819
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:16,920
It's true.

1820
01:26:16,920 --> 01:26:17,920
But anyway, man, that was a fun episode.

1821
01:26:17,920 --> 01:26:18,920
That was.

1822
01:26:18,920 --> 01:26:20,920
I love these types of episodes, man.

1823
01:26:20,920 --> 01:26:23,920
We can just kick back, you know, go easy on the prep.

1824
01:26:23,920 --> 01:26:29,920
I feel like we prepare for every episode weekly and we spend hours preparing.

1825
01:26:29,920 --> 01:26:36,920
This, it felt like the entire season's worth of preparation has led to this moment.

1826
01:26:36,920 --> 01:26:37,920
It's true.

1827
01:26:37,920 --> 01:26:42,920
It was a way more laid back one, very much more like opinion based rather than statistics

1828
01:26:42,920 --> 01:26:43,920
and all that.

1829
01:26:43,920 --> 01:26:44,920
Yeah.

1830
01:26:44,920 --> 01:26:47,920
To be honest, I want to have more episodes like this, man.

1831
01:26:47,920 --> 01:26:49,920
They're just way more fun to me.

1832
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:50,920
It's fun also being informative, man.

1833
01:26:50,920 --> 01:26:53,920
You know, giving people the numbers, you know, what actually happened.

1834
01:26:53,920 --> 01:26:54,920
That's true.

1835
01:26:54,920 --> 01:26:55,920
Fantastic.

1836
01:26:55,920 --> 01:26:57,920
What let us know, guys, what you prefer?

1837
01:26:57,920 --> 01:27:01,920
Whether you want to hear us kick back, having a nice little chat, or if you want us to bring

1838
01:27:01,920 --> 01:27:05,920
all the information forward so you guys won't miss a thing.

1839
01:27:05,920 --> 01:27:06,920
Yeah.

1840
01:27:06,920 --> 01:27:07,920
But that concludes it.

1841
01:27:07,920 --> 01:27:08,920
Wow.

1842
01:27:08,920 --> 01:27:13,920
It's been an entire 38 matches of football that we've covered, a few specials here and

1843
01:27:13,920 --> 01:27:14,920
there.

1844
01:27:14,920 --> 01:27:15,920
40 episodes.

1845
01:27:15,920 --> 01:27:16,920
Wow.

1846
01:27:16,920 --> 01:27:17,920
Something we've actually done.

1847
01:27:17,920 --> 01:27:18,920
It's pretty nuts.

1848
01:27:18,920 --> 01:27:19,920
Yeah.

1849
01:27:19,920 --> 01:27:20,920
Nice, bro.

1850
01:27:20,920 --> 01:27:21,920
High five.

1851
01:27:21,920 --> 01:27:22,920
I'm sorry.

1852
01:27:22,920 --> 01:27:23,920
I'm clammy.

1853
01:27:23,920 --> 01:27:24,920
That's fine.

1854
01:27:24,920 --> 01:27:25,920
You're really wet, bro.

1855
01:27:25,920 --> 01:27:26,920
