1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,280
Radonic, Svirgola, Carboni, a ball becomes good for Ricci who digs on the second pole,

2
00:00:06,280 --> 00:00:09,720
manages to coordinate, turned over to Toni Sanabria.

3
00:00:11,920 --> 00:00:17,280
Hello and welcome back to Seiya's Spotlight Season 2, episode 4, we're your host Jake

4
00:00:17,280 --> 00:00:18,280
and Matt.

5
00:00:18,280 --> 00:00:22,480
Guys, as you heard from our intro, that was the Toni Sanabria goal that he scored this

6
00:00:22,480 --> 00:00:23,480
weekend.

7
00:00:23,480 --> 00:00:27,760
From now on we're going to be choosing our goal of the week to put inside of our intro,

8
00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:32,280
so you could just automatically assume that that is our goal of the week.

9
00:00:32,280 --> 00:00:37,880
Let us know if you agree with us, if you disagree with us, what your goals of the week were,

10
00:00:37,880 --> 00:00:40,600
and I don't know if you want to take us through the goal.

11
00:00:40,600 --> 00:00:45,000
It was an amazing goal, of course Ricci with the cross over, the keeper, looping ball and

12
00:00:45,000 --> 00:00:47,880
Sanabria with an acrobatic finish, absolutely beautiful.

13
00:00:47,880 --> 00:00:51,520
Sure, it was a bit clumsy by Ricci, I think he was actually going for a goal.

14
00:00:51,520 --> 00:00:55,560
He might have actually gone for a goal himself, but still that finish is just amazing.

15
00:00:55,560 --> 00:00:58,240
That's literally the closest you can get to a dunk in football.

16
00:00:58,240 --> 00:01:02,480
Yeah and it's a big set of balls as well for him to come flying in the way he did, he nearly

17
00:01:02,480 --> 00:01:07,240
clattered the post as well, the man in the wing, so what a goal.

18
00:01:07,240 --> 00:01:08,640
Amazing, amazing.

19
00:01:08,640 --> 00:01:10,120
Now before we continue.

20
00:01:16,800 --> 00:01:25,120
We are 38 euros and 24 cents richer thanks to Seiya our spotlight slips, our first public

21
00:01:25,120 --> 00:01:28,640
bet that we placed on Instagram, right?

22
00:01:28,640 --> 00:01:35,320
Like we said, you could feel free to join the train, choo choo, but we do not encourage

23
00:01:35,320 --> 00:01:36,320
it.

24
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:37,320
No, don't join.

25
00:01:37,320 --> 00:01:40,960
Don't join actually, just watch our journey, okay?

26
00:01:40,960 --> 00:01:42,000
Enjoy our journey.

27
00:01:42,000 --> 00:01:46,460
So of course we bet that Roma would beat Salernitana, we bet that Fiorentina would beat Cremonese,

28
00:01:46,460 --> 00:01:50,720
we bet that Inter would beat Legtrian, we bet that Atalanta would beat Sampdoria, we're

29
00:01:50,720 --> 00:01:51,720
a little bit lucky.

30
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:52,720
We got very lucky.

31
00:01:52,720 --> 00:01:59,280
Radu will forever remain a hero of mine.

32
00:01:59,280 --> 00:02:03,080
I love Radu man, he's my favourite keeper.

33
00:02:03,080 --> 00:02:07,440
He had such a good game before that man, such a good game.

34
00:02:07,440 --> 00:02:11,560
He was playing really well, it's true, poor guy, but we'll get into that anyway.

35
00:02:11,560 --> 00:02:15,680
Also as well, Inter were lucky to equalise at the end through Denzel Dumfries.

36
00:02:15,680 --> 00:02:21,480
Yeah, yeah, but they did us a good little favour, we're still deciding what we'll do

37
00:02:21,480 --> 00:02:27,840
with our winnings, should we grow this 38 euro to god knows what, not today 38, who

38
00:02:27,840 --> 00:02:30,360
knows what we'll be on, it could be 5 euro.

39
00:02:30,360 --> 00:02:33,760
We might have to deposit again.

40
00:02:33,760 --> 00:02:36,360
It could be 500, you know what I mean?

41
00:02:36,360 --> 00:02:39,680
So we should decide, you guys should let us know what we should do with the money, be

42
00:02:39,680 --> 00:02:42,440
it like go watch Milan or go watch maybe…

43
00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:43,880
A giveaway?

44
00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:44,880
Maybe a giveaway.

45
00:02:44,880 --> 00:02:47,520
Spend our money on them.

46
00:02:47,520 --> 00:02:51,640
Or maybe we set up a Patreon with the money.

47
00:02:51,640 --> 00:02:55,040
And you'll have to pay to listen to us all the time.

48
00:02:55,040 --> 00:02:56,040
Exactly.

49
00:02:56,040 --> 00:02:59,520
Now we'll see, let us know what you think we should do, whatever we'll do, we'll

50
00:02:59,520 --> 00:03:03,000
vlog it for you guys, you could follow it, so on and so forth.

51
00:03:03,000 --> 00:03:08,480
But the first matchday of Serie A brother, what were your thoughts overall?

52
00:03:08,480 --> 00:03:14,480
I was just so happy that football was back man, I was so hyped, you know, 6 o'clock

53
00:03:14,480 --> 00:03:15,760
took so long to come.

54
00:03:15,760 --> 00:03:20,040
I was waiting and waiting and waiting and waiting, man, it just wouldn't come.

55
00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:24,360
But thankfully we had the opener Milan-Udinez, which typically is a very stressful game.

56
00:03:24,360 --> 00:03:25,360
Shall we just get into it?

57
00:03:25,360 --> 00:03:26,360
Yep, let's get into it.

58
00:03:26,360 --> 00:03:27,360
Milan-Udinez.

59
00:03:27,360 --> 00:03:31,380
So the first game was between Milan and Udinese, of course the opener was at the same time

60
00:03:31,380 --> 00:03:33,600
as the Atalanta-Sampdoria game.

61
00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:35,360
Milan won this game 4-2.

62
00:03:35,360 --> 00:03:41,120
A fun fact about Milan-Udinez is that Udinese have actually drawn more matches against Milan

63
00:03:41,120 --> 00:03:43,200
than any other side in the world.

64
00:03:43,200 --> 00:03:46,920
They have 36 draws out of 91 games.

65
00:03:46,920 --> 00:03:51,760
In fact the last three games between Milan and Udinese have all ended in 1-1 draws.

66
00:03:51,760 --> 00:03:54,240
Before of course, yesterday's 4-2.

67
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:58,120
Or sorry, last Saturday's 4-2.

68
00:03:58,120 --> 00:04:03,520
So Milan lined up with Manean in goal, Calabria right back, Calulo and Tomori as a centre-back

69
00:04:03,520 --> 00:04:10,480
pairing and Theo Hernandez as the left back, a double pivot of Krunic and Benassir, Leo,

70
00:04:10,480 --> 00:04:14,840
Maudias and Messias playing behind Rebic up front.

71
00:04:14,840 --> 00:04:17,680
What did you make of Milan's lineup before we get to Udinese's?

72
00:04:17,680 --> 00:04:23,800
So I think since the players that came in came in quite late throughout pre-season,

73
00:04:23,800 --> 00:04:25,240
it's pretty much what I expected.

74
00:04:25,240 --> 00:04:30,400
I expected to see Messias out wide, I expected to see Giroud up front instead of Rebic but

75
00:04:30,400 --> 00:04:33,320
it was quite refreshing seeing that level of pace up front.

76
00:04:33,320 --> 00:04:36,000
So I was a fan of the lineup personally.

77
00:04:36,000 --> 00:04:38,640
It's true and these are the guys who are amazing in pre-season.

78
00:04:38,640 --> 00:04:43,560
Purely praised Krunic, Messias and Rebic in pre-season and in fact they all started and

79
00:04:43,560 --> 00:04:45,840
they all played pretty well to be honest.

80
00:04:45,840 --> 00:04:46,840
Yeah agreed.

81
00:04:46,840 --> 00:04:52,040
Udinese's lineup, they had Silvestri in goal with his really cool hairstyle, a back three

82
00:04:52,040 --> 00:04:58,840
of Rodrigo, Bekow, Bram, Nuiting and Perez, Sopi and Massina out wide and a midfield three

83
00:04:58,840 --> 00:05:03,720
of Pereira, Wallace and Mckengo up front, Deo Lefeo and success.

84
00:05:03,720 --> 00:05:04,720
Thoughts?

85
00:05:04,720 --> 00:05:05,720
Solid no?

86
00:05:05,720 --> 00:05:07,720
Solid Udinese like tough team.

87
00:05:07,720 --> 00:05:12,640
Nothing really different from last year, I was surprised to see Beto on the bench.

88
00:05:12,640 --> 00:05:15,640
That was the only surprise.

89
00:05:15,640 --> 00:05:20,880
A very physical team as always, this is the 6 foot 1ers, everyone is 6 foot 1 in this

90
00:05:20,880 --> 00:05:21,880
team.

91
00:05:21,880 --> 00:05:25,520
But anyway, play by play of course the game started out, how else would it start out with

92
00:05:25,520 --> 00:05:32,520
a second minute Rodrigo Bekow goal and in swinging corner by Deo Lefeo fell to Bekow's

93
00:05:32,520 --> 00:05:35,520
head who just smashed it into the back of the net.

94
00:05:35,520 --> 00:05:39,520
Fun fact bro, Bekow has 5 goals in Serie A. 3 against Milan.

95
00:05:39,520 --> 00:05:42,520
3 of them are against Milan.

96
00:05:42,520 --> 00:05:45,520
Every Milan fan knows it, I promise.

97
00:05:45,520 --> 00:05:48,920
It's just stat pads against Milan.

98
00:05:48,920 --> 00:05:54,600
In the 11th minute Milan were awarded a penalty, Calabria was fouled by Sopi, it went to VAR

99
00:05:54,600 --> 00:05:57,080
and Hernandez took the penalty and scored.

100
00:05:57,080 --> 00:06:00,960
I forgot that Theo can't hit them.

101
00:06:00,960 --> 00:06:03,000
He reminded me, he's very good at it.

102
00:06:03,000 --> 00:06:06,940
In the 15th minute Ante Rebic started his slaughter, it was a really cool finish after

103
00:06:06,940 --> 00:06:08,880
Calabria squared the ball to him.

104
00:06:08,880 --> 00:06:13,600
And in the 48th minute a late surprise for Milan as Massena scored a great header, not

105
00:06:13,600 --> 00:06:18,460
much money on could have done on that, beating Messias at the near post.

106
00:06:18,460 --> 00:06:24,320
Now why is Messias so frequently marking these target men at the near post?

107
00:06:24,320 --> 00:06:29,560
I think Milan focus more on zonal marking in those situations rather than man marking

108
00:06:29,560 --> 00:06:30,560
in the box.

109
00:06:30,560 --> 00:06:34,160
I don't think it's Messias literally being placed on the biggest guy.

110
00:06:34,160 --> 00:06:38,880
I think Messias is placed on the near post and I think Odinese took advantage of that

111
00:06:38,880 --> 00:06:41,280
because it was in fact two headers at the near post.

112
00:06:41,280 --> 00:06:45,200
Yes, it was two headers at the near post.

113
00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:46,200
That could be actually.

114
00:06:46,200 --> 00:06:50,280
It could also be that maybe he was covering for Calabria, it was a counter attack.

115
00:06:50,280 --> 00:06:56,920
In the second half Milan started off very well with Brahim Diaz scoring, Theo's cross

116
00:06:56,920 --> 00:07:02,080
was clumsily headed down by Massena and Diaz pounced and in the 68th minute Rebej scored

117
00:07:02,080 --> 00:07:07,560
the final goal of the game as Brahim twisted and turned and not made Bram Newton and of

118
00:07:07,560 --> 00:07:09,920
course classic lethal finish by Rebej.

119
00:07:09,920 --> 00:07:15,320
So bro, first thing I want to talk to you about is Milan's depth.

120
00:07:15,320 --> 00:07:18,820
Suddenly Milan have three players in each position up front.

121
00:07:18,820 --> 00:07:24,000
They went from having absolutely no options, you know, just like up, Giroud, if Giroud

122
00:07:24,000 --> 00:07:29,080
was injured, you know, there's Rebej injured, there's Lothan injured, you know, Brahim Diaz

123
00:07:29,080 --> 00:07:31,760
etc attacking midfield, what are we going to do?

124
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:32,760
Nothing else, no other options.

125
00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:37,680
Now all of a sudden there are all these players, Adli, there's de Kettelaar, there's Origi

126
00:07:37,680 --> 00:07:39,240
on the bench, there are all these players.

127
00:07:39,240 --> 00:07:40,520
What do you think bro?

128
00:07:40,520 --> 00:07:48,520
I mean, I think what Milan did was they kept the base that won them the league, they in

129
00:07:48,520 --> 00:07:53,380
inverted commas improved certain areas, still yet to be determined whether they've been

130
00:07:53,380 --> 00:07:56,600
improved or not because at the end of the day, the new players need to outperform the

131
00:07:56,600 --> 00:07:58,660
older players.

132
00:07:58,660 --> 00:08:06,000
But the main thing is that they kept the players who won them the league, Baring Kesi, and

133
00:08:06,000 --> 00:08:08,200
they added more depth to the team.

134
00:08:08,200 --> 00:08:13,760
They let Adli come back, they let Pobega come back, they kept Florenzi, you know what I mean?

135
00:08:13,760 --> 00:08:17,320
And they kept all of these players, they kept Krunic, players that can come on and put in

136
00:08:17,320 --> 00:08:23,360
a shift and players of quality, you know, it's not like last season when Baccaioco or

137
00:08:23,360 --> 00:08:26,760
Pobega was kind of come going, Krunic was being played on the wing, it was a little

138
00:08:26,760 --> 00:08:27,760
bit weird.

139
00:08:27,760 --> 00:08:31,760
Now there are players designated to their roles, they're more versatile, they're reminding

140
00:08:31,760 --> 00:08:34,640
me of Inter last year with their squad depth Milan.

141
00:08:34,640 --> 00:08:39,000
Fair enough actually, I remember this was a solo game, we had gone up to watch and it

142
00:08:39,000 --> 00:08:41,520
was matchday, it was early on in the season.

143
00:08:41,520 --> 00:08:43,960
It was like matchday five I think.

144
00:08:43,960 --> 00:08:48,800
And I remember in the 60th minute the board went up and they brought on Dzeko, they brought

145
00:08:48,800 --> 00:08:51,840
on Fidal, and they brought on someone else, who the hell was it?

146
00:08:51,840 --> 00:08:52,840
I forgot.

147
00:08:52,840 --> 00:08:57,480
I don't remember, but just three like superstar players, I was like Jesus Christ these guys.

148
00:08:57,480 --> 00:08:59,280
But that's Milan this year.

149
00:08:59,280 --> 00:09:03,240
So like everyone says, oh Milan signings weren't good, but Milan kept the same players, they

150
00:09:03,240 --> 00:09:06,920
kept their spine that won the league and they added quality to that spine, which is, you

151
00:09:06,920 --> 00:09:07,920
know, very very promising.

152
00:09:07,920 --> 00:09:11,960
Exactly, and Pobega man as well coming on.

153
00:09:11,960 --> 00:09:17,400
People gave him shit because they wanted to see Adli, but anyway, everyone will get their

154
00:09:17,400 --> 00:09:18,400
time.

155
00:09:18,400 --> 00:09:23,400
Brahim and Rebic bro, as we mentioned, these are two guys who aren't, to be honest, if

156
00:09:23,400 --> 00:09:28,960
you had to ask people to write down their starting 11s for Milan, Brahim and Rebic wouldn't

157
00:09:28,960 --> 00:09:29,960
be in there.

158
00:09:29,960 --> 00:09:30,960
No, never.

159
00:09:30,960 --> 00:09:35,760
And you have these two guys that carried the game with monster performances.

160
00:09:35,760 --> 00:09:40,800
It'll make purely think, how can you go into the Atalanta game, matchday two, and bench

161
00:09:40,800 --> 00:09:43,080
Brahim and Rebic right now?

162
00:09:43,080 --> 00:09:44,720
I don't think you can right now.

163
00:09:44,720 --> 00:09:48,120
You simply can't bench Rebic and Brahim.

164
00:09:48,120 --> 00:09:53,840
First it's Lilleon and you know, you just need to utilize the players that are on form,

165
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:56,160
that are performing now.

166
00:09:56,160 --> 00:09:57,160
You know what I mean?

167
00:09:57,160 --> 00:10:03,000
The Catalar and Orifia should still start to be utilized slowly, slowly.

168
00:10:03,000 --> 00:10:06,760
Same as Adli, they shouldn't come in and start from next week.

169
00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:08,040
You know what I mean?

170
00:10:08,040 --> 00:10:14,640
And Brahim and Rebic were the two best players on the pitch by a landslide, by a landslide.

171
00:10:14,640 --> 00:10:19,640
Particularly, okay, Rebic scored two goals, but Brahim, you look at his improvement from

172
00:10:19,640 --> 00:10:24,080
last season to this opening game of the season, he was unbelievable.

173
00:10:24,080 --> 00:10:25,080
He's been eating spinach.

174
00:10:25,080 --> 00:10:29,240
He's been eating fucking spinach and chicken like.

175
00:10:29,240 --> 00:10:31,360
He's growing.

176
00:10:31,360 --> 00:10:34,920
He's super strong and he has a good center of gravity for his size.

177
00:10:34,920 --> 00:10:38,760
He was winning fouls as well, drawing them in, winning fouls.

178
00:10:38,760 --> 00:10:43,000
And that's what he's good at, man, and those megs that he was pulling off and squaring

179
00:10:43,000 --> 00:10:47,240
the ball, finding himself in good positions, I was very, very impressed by him, which goes

180
00:10:47,240 --> 00:10:51,960
to show what we were saying last year about he needs someone to compete with, someone

181
00:10:51,960 --> 00:10:54,760
that that's the starter in inverted commas.

182
00:10:54,760 --> 00:10:56,680
Here he is, the Catalar.

183
00:10:56,680 --> 00:10:58,440
Here he is, Adli.

184
00:10:58,440 --> 00:10:59,440
Good luck.

185
00:10:59,440 --> 00:11:00,440
Go for it.

186
00:11:00,440 --> 00:11:03,560
All of a sudden you have the incredible little Brahim Diaz, dude.

187
00:11:03,560 --> 00:11:07,520
Diego fucking Maradona.

188
00:11:07,520 --> 00:11:12,760
Of course, bro, I don't think there'll be a week where I don't praise Kronic.

189
00:11:12,760 --> 00:11:15,640
Kronic is literally we have a leak in the wall.

190
00:11:15,640 --> 00:11:17,200
He plugged Kronic in right there.

191
00:11:17,200 --> 00:11:18,200
Literally, literally.

192
00:11:18,200 --> 00:11:21,960
Kronic is the man I would call if my AC is broken.

193
00:11:21,960 --> 00:11:25,640
He's the man I would call if Milan need a defensive midfielder, if they need a winger,

194
00:11:25,640 --> 00:11:28,760
if they need an attacking midfielder, if they need a left back, if they need a right back.

195
00:11:28,760 --> 00:11:30,600
If I'm a brother, my girlfriend needs a cuddle.

196
00:11:30,600 --> 00:11:31,600
I'm calling Kronic, man.

197
00:11:31,600 --> 00:11:37,920
Man, let me tell you what, if I'm in a devastating accident that makes me lose everything from

198
00:11:37,920 --> 00:11:44,160
the waist down, Kronic is the man to step in for me in any given situation.

199
00:11:44,160 --> 00:11:45,160
That's it.

200
00:11:45,160 --> 00:11:46,160
He just plugs every hole.

201
00:11:46,160 --> 00:11:47,160
I love the double pivot.

202
00:11:47,160 --> 00:11:48,160
He was amazing, man.

203
00:11:48,160 --> 00:11:49,160
He was really good again.

204
00:11:49,160 --> 00:11:50,840
Bro, he'd be good in the single pivot.

205
00:11:50,840 --> 00:11:52,640
He'd be good in the triple pivot.

206
00:11:52,640 --> 00:11:54,480
The man just pivots.

207
00:11:54,480 --> 00:11:56,040
Ross Geller would love him.

208
00:11:56,040 --> 00:11:58,880
A friend's joke for the enthusiasts.

209
00:11:58,880 --> 00:11:59,880
Fantastic.

210
00:11:59,880 --> 00:12:00,880
Kalulu.

211
00:12:00,880 --> 00:12:01,880
Amazing tackle.

212
00:12:01,880 --> 00:12:02,880
You know the one I'm talking about.

213
00:12:02,880 --> 00:12:03,880
They were left over, coming through.

214
00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:04,880
Tomori had initially fucked up.

215
00:12:04,880 --> 00:12:11,280
Exactly, he pressed up high, of course, which is good to see.

216
00:12:11,280 --> 00:12:14,400
I mean, they can because they've got each other to back each other up.

217
00:12:14,400 --> 00:12:21,480
Before, when it was Romagnoli or Kier, they couldn't be as adventurous.

218
00:12:21,480 --> 00:12:25,600
Tomori and Kalulu couldn't be as adventurous because Kier can't track back.

219
00:12:25,600 --> 00:12:26,840
Romagnoli can't track back.

220
00:12:26,840 --> 00:12:28,800
But these guys with each other, they've got the pace.

221
00:12:28,800 --> 00:12:29,920
Okay, I'm going to go up.

222
00:12:29,920 --> 00:12:30,920
You cover for me.

223
00:12:30,920 --> 00:12:33,400
And they can catch up with the pace and catch up.

224
00:12:33,400 --> 00:12:34,400
Kalulu did.

225
00:12:34,400 --> 00:12:36,360
And Kalulu, bro, is so exciting.

226
00:12:36,360 --> 00:12:40,000
It's crazy how he's outperforming Tomori nowadays.

227
00:12:40,000 --> 00:12:41,440
Bro, he's insane.

228
00:12:41,440 --> 00:12:42,440
He's a centre back.

229
00:12:42,440 --> 00:12:43,440
The man's a centre back.

230
00:12:43,440 --> 00:12:44,440
I agree.

231
00:12:44,440 --> 00:12:49,480
But then you play him on the right and he fucking advances and ships the keeper from

232
00:12:49,480 --> 00:12:51,480
out of the box like he did with the France under 21.

233
00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:52,480
Fucking hell, that was nuts.

234
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:59,480
But with that being said, El Capitano David Ecalabria had the game of his life as well.

235
00:12:59,480 --> 00:13:03,640
He looked nimble, he looked light, he looked quick, he looked strong.

236
00:13:03,640 --> 00:13:04,640
He was good, man.

237
00:13:04,640 --> 00:13:05,640
I liked him.

238
00:13:05,640 --> 00:13:08,640
He was in the zone.

239
00:13:08,640 --> 00:13:12,880
A fun fact about Udinese, they're selling Sopi to Atalanta most likely.

240
00:13:12,880 --> 00:13:15,000
So Milan will have to play him twice in two weeks.

241
00:13:15,000 --> 00:13:16,000
How fucked.

242
00:13:16,000 --> 00:13:18,760
And he played pretty well.

243
00:13:18,760 --> 00:13:26,480
I heard that Sopi was initially getting transferred to the Prem, but he was going to stay in Serie

244
00:13:26,480 --> 00:13:27,480
A another season.

245
00:13:27,480 --> 00:13:29,040
So he instantly belonged back.

246
00:13:29,040 --> 00:13:30,040
That's a good dodgy.

247
00:13:30,040 --> 00:13:31,040
You're thinking good dodgy.

248
00:13:31,040 --> 00:13:32,040
That's a dodgy.

249
00:13:32,040 --> 00:13:35,400
But he didn't play because of the transfer market.

250
00:13:35,400 --> 00:13:38,320
But we'll see what happens over there.

251
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:44,520
Do you think that Udinese, they played well, right?

252
00:13:44,520 --> 00:13:46,680
Of course, they scored two goals against Milan.

253
00:13:46,680 --> 00:13:47,680
They held their own.

254
00:13:47,680 --> 00:13:48,680
They collapsed at the end.

255
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:51,360
Of course, there's a lot of quality in Milan's attack, especially when the substitutions

256
00:13:51,360 --> 00:13:53,160
happened, they couldn't really keep up.

257
00:13:53,160 --> 00:13:59,960
But they remind me, like, what's the difference, bro, between Udinese and Hellas Verona?

258
00:13:59,960 --> 00:14:04,400
I mean, Udinese are Hellas Verona when they play Milan.

259
00:14:04,400 --> 00:14:07,400
Otherwise, Udinese are Udinese.

260
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:08,400
They're more physical.

261
00:14:08,400 --> 00:14:11,440
I think if you have to exchange their shirts, you wouldn't tell them apart.

262
00:14:11,440 --> 00:14:13,480
They play the same style exactly, man.

263
00:14:13,480 --> 00:14:15,120
Udinese are much more physical.

264
00:14:15,120 --> 00:14:20,200
I think Verona, I still need to see more of Verona this year.

265
00:14:20,200 --> 00:14:25,000
But last year they had a lot of love and sexy magic about them with Caprari, with Barac,

266
00:14:25,000 --> 00:14:30,240
with Illich, Kdoglazzi as well, which is what we're calling him from now on.

267
00:14:30,240 --> 00:14:34,720
But there are a few similarities going forward.

268
00:14:34,720 --> 00:14:35,720
They're very similar.

269
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:38,840
Even the shape, man, the shape, the big players that they have all around.

270
00:14:38,840 --> 00:14:39,840
They're very, very similar.

271
00:14:39,840 --> 00:14:42,720
Udinese played well, but they always play well against Milan.

272
00:14:42,720 --> 00:14:47,640
I feel like this time round, the freak occurrences happened.

273
00:14:47,640 --> 00:14:54,080
You know, that first minute Bacau goal and then the Massena goal as well at the near

274
00:14:54,080 --> 00:14:57,000
post, that freak shit happened.

275
00:14:57,000 --> 00:14:58,480
They left the half though.

276
00:14:58,480 --> 00:15:03,120
Milan didn't do anything to concede and they still concede against Udinese.

277
00:15:03,120 --> 00:15:07,320
Difference is, a couple of years ago, Milan would have scored one, maybe two and drawn

278
00:15:07,320 --> 00:15:08,320
the game.

279
00:15:08,320 --> 00:15:09,880
This time Milan got four goals.

280
00:15:09,880 --> 00:15:13,040
They're capable of finding goals and they won 4-2.

281
00:15:13,040 --> 00:15:16,680
We were never stressed when we were watching the game.

282
00:15:16,680 --> 00:15:19,680
Even when they equalized late on, it's like we have time.

283
00:15:19,680 --> 00:15:21,200
That's a fucking good point, bro.

284
00:15:21,200 --> 00:15:26,360
Milan have the quality to get goals back, similarly to fucking Napoli, who we'll talk

285
00:15:26,360 --> 00:15:27,360
about later on.

286
00:15:27,360 --> 00:15:30,640
They conceded, but they kept going and going and going.

287
00:15:30,640 --> 00:15:33,880
Yeah, so that's basically it, bro, for this game.

288
00:15:33,880 --> 00:15:35,440
I don't know if there's anything you want to mention.

289
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,720
What did you think about Milan overall?

290
00:15:38,720 --> 00:15:42,400
Seeing them back, I know there's Udinese that we haven't really touched on, but it's very

291
00:15:42,400 --> 00:15:44,400
much a let's wait and see.

292
00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:49,560
And Udinese are very unchanged as well from last year, come to think of it.

293
00:15:49,560 --> 00:15:55,960
Milan this year, the first game of the season, what did you make of Milan's performance?

294
00:15:55,960 --> 00:16:01,760
It was against a team that once again has caused problems for Milan in the past.

295
00:16:01,760 --> 00:16:05,640
They attacked Milan this time, they didn't sit back as they always do, which probably

296
00:16:05,640 --> 00:16:09,240
actually ended up helping out Milan.

297
00:16:09,240 --> 00:16:13,600
They conceded early on, lapse of concentration at the very beginning, boom, Becow goal, of

298
00:16:13,600 --> 00:16:17,160
course that would be unacceptable.

299
00:16:17,160 --> 00:16:20,920
So early on matchday one, second minute of the game, you excuse it.

300
00:16:20,920 --> 00:16:25,280
In fact, when it happened, I was just like, Jesus Christ, I wasn't pissed.

301
00:16:25,280 --> 00:16:27,440
I was more like, it was funny.

302
00:16:27,440 --> 00:16:32,160
It's Becow again, you know, fucking celebrating and fist pumping there.

303
00:16:32,160 --> 00:16:33,640
I was like, fuck this guy.

304
00:16:33,640 --> 00:16:42,080
I would spend seven million on Becow just to take him off of Udinese, because the man

305
00:16:42,080 --> 00:16:46,840
literally risks two to three points every time Milan play Udinese.

306
00:16:46,840 --> 00:16:52,960
I would pay seven million to guarantee two, three points every fixture against Udinese,

307
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:54,760
but fuck it, it is what it is.

308
00:16:54,760 --> 00:16:57,640
But I was very happy with Milan's performance.

309
00:16:57,640 --> 00:17:02,920
And you know, I was really happy from what I saw with the subs as well.

310
00:17:02,920 --> 00:17:09,160
We had Origi coming on, Decetler coming on, Giroud coming on, and Giroud was running at

311
00:17:09,160 --> 00:17:10,160
his men.

312
00:17:10,160 --> 00:17:11,160
Are you okay?

313
00:17:11,160 --> 00:17:12,160
I just vomited a bit.

314
00:17:12,160 --> 00:17:17,360
Giroud was trying to take players on, man.

315
00:17:17,360 --> 00:17:18,360
It was crazy.

316
00:17:18,360 --> 00:17:21,560
And he's blonde right now, so I didn't recognize him.

317
00:17:21,560 --> 00:17:24,160
Everyone's a champion now.

318
00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:27,160
They've all got that confidence of champions.

319
00:17:27,160 --> 00:17:30,800
We are at the end of the day.

320
00:17:30,800 --> 00:17:32,360
Should we move on to the next game?

321
00:17:32,360 --> 00:17:37,760
We're not going to say Milan are first with three points, level on points with five, six

322
00:17:37,760 --> 00:17:38,760
other teams.

323
00:17:38,760 --> 00:17:40,160
That comes from match day two onwards.

324
00:17:40,160 --> 00:17:44,040
Not even, I would say like match day seven, eight.

325
00:17:44,040 --> 00:17:45,040
I don't know.

326
00:17:45,040 --> 00:17:46,320
We'll see.

327
00:17:46,320 --> 00:17:51,440
So the next game we're going to be covering is Lecce 1-Inter 2, Marco Baroni's men taking

328
00:17:51,440 --> 00:17:53,600
on Simone Enzaghi's men.

329
00:17:53,600 --> 00:17:59,400
So Inter lined up with Handanovic and Goal in their classic 3-5-2, Skriniar De Vries and

330
00:17:59,400 --> 00:18:05,400
De Marco forming the back line, supported by Dharmian and Gossens out wide, with Czalanoglu,

331
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:10,400
Drozovic and Barela being those three key pieces in the middle, with Martinez and Lukaku

332
00:18:10,400 --> 00:18:11,400
up front.

333
00:18:11,400 --> 00:18:16,720
Falcone started in goal for Lecce, no surprise there, with Gallo and Gendry being the wing

334
00:18:16,720 --> 00:18:20,400
backs and Basquirotto and Chetin being the two center backs.

335
00:18:20,400 --> 00:18:26,960
Gonzalez, Hulmend and Bistrovic formed the three center midfielders, with Di Francesco,

336
00:18:26,960 --> 00:18:30,360
Streffetza and Cisse in the front line.

337
00:18:30,360 --> 00:18:36,400
So after two minutes, Lukaku opened the scoring, just 80 seconds into his return to Serie A,

338
00:18:36,400 --> 00:18:41,080
it was an early cross in by De Marco, to Dharmian, who squared it to Lukaku, headed the ball

339
00:18:41,080 --> 00:18:42,080
in.

340
00:18:42,080 --> 00:18:47,400
In the 48th minute, just after the break, Cisse scored for Lecce on his debut as well,

341
00:18:47,400 --> 00:18:51,880
it was a counterattack that caught Inter and Skriniar out of position, I feel like Skriniar

342
00:18:51,880 --> 00:18:57,600
pressed a little bit too hard over there, leaving his teammates exposed, and it ended

343
00:18:57,600 --> 00:19:02,320
with Cisse finishing from a tight angle thanks to a Di Francesco assist.

344
00:19:02,320 --> 00:19:07,960
It was in the 95th minute that Inter finally managed to get that winning goal that they

345
00:19:07,960 --> 00:19:13,920
were looking for for so long, it was Dumfries after a Barella corner was flicked on by Lautaro

346
00:19:13,920 --> 00:19:18,640
Martinez, so the oncoming Dumfries, who only needed to make contact to convert and he scored

347
00:19:18,640 --> 00:19:21,700
with the final kick of the game.

348
00:19:21,700 --> 00:19:27,880
So my initial reaction to this bro is, sure, Inter struggled, but they got all three points,

349
00:19:27,880 --> 00:19:29,640
which is what good teams do.

350
00:19:29,640 --> 00:19:33,800
But why do you think that Inter struggled?

351
00:19:33,800 --> 00:19:41,280
So I think that Inter play a system that is difficult to execute efficiently if you're

352
00:19:41,280 --> 00:19:47,160
not 100% match fit, and I think that that was something that we saw from Inter, we saw

353
00:19:47,160 --> 00:19:52,120
particularly in the midfield, Barella, Brozovic, and Inshallah Noglu, nothing special.

354
00:19:52,120 --> 00:19:57,400
That's a very good point because Brozovic literally just came back from injury 3-4 days

355
00:19:57,400 --> 00:19:58,400
ago.

356
00:19:58,400 --> 00:20:02,360
There we go man, they were honestly, Barella was probably the best one of the lot, but

357
00:20:02,360 --> 00:20:08,720
invisible to be honest with you, Gawson's was a shadow of his former self.

358
00:20:08,720 --> 00:20:14,040
You know, I mean Martinez as well was getting frustrated more than anything else the whole

359
00:20:14,040 --> 00:20:15,040
game.

360
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:18,080
But I think that was the biggest problem, they were match fit.

361
00:20:18,080 --> 00:20:22,240
And then you see for example, DiMarco, and he looked great man.

362
00:20:22,240 --> 00:20:24,400
DiMarco was probably one of the better players on the pitch.

363
00:20:24,400 --> 00:20:27,160
I think he was by far the best player on this Inter team.

364
00:20:27,160 --> 00:20:30,440
He was advancing from that left center back position as well.

365
00:20:30,440 --> 00:20:31,440
Of course.

366
00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:33,160
He pretty much created the first goal.

367
00:20:33,160 --> 00:20:38,520
Towards the end of the game when they were 1-1, and it was like the 80th minute onwards,

368
00:20:38,520 --> 00:20:39,520
it's so funny dude.

369
00:20:39,520 --> 00:20:45,360
And then in Zagie I'm pretty sure lined up a 2-2-6 man.

370
00:20:45,360 --> 00:20:52,200
2-2-6 with Lautar, Olukaku and Zerko in the middle, and DiMarco and Denzel Dumfries on

371
00:20:52,200 --> 00:20:53,200
the wings.

372
00:20:53,200 --> 00:20:55,880
Honestly, that's what it looked like to me.

373
00:20:55,880 --> 00:20:59,240
And there was Correa as well playing there somewhere, probably in midfield or some shit

374
00:20:59,240 --> 00:21:00,240
like that.

375
00:21:00,240 --> 00:21:03,720
Feels like us when we're playing FIFA against each other, ultra talking 4-2-4.

376
00:21:03,720 --> 00:21:07,720
4-2-4, bring on all my strikers.

377
00:21:07,720 --> 00:21:09,040
But that's literally what happened.

378
00:21:09,040 --> 00:21:13,120
And DiMarco was literally the main offensive threat for Inter this game.

379
00:21:13,120 --> 00:21:14,120
Agreed.

380
00:21:14,120 --> 00:21:20,000
I think Barela was quite good considering what was around him in that period.

381
00:21:20,000 --> 00:21:24,840
I'm looking at the match ratings, the only people that have a high-ish rating are the

382
00:21:24,840 --> 00:21:26,800
ones that contributed to goals.

383
00:21:26,800 --> 00:21:27,800
Otherwise it's Barela.

384
00:21:27,800 --> 00:21:32,440
He didn't contribute directly to goals but it was his corner, it was a bit of build-up

385
00:21:32,440 --> 00:21:34,320
play by him as well.

386
00:21:34,320 --> 00:21:35,320
You know what I mean?

387
00:21:35,320 --> 00:21:40,040
He was inserting himself quite a bit, much more than his teammate Hakan Kralenoglu and

388
00:21:40,040 --> 00:21:42,600
Brosevic just seemed a bit slow.

389
00:21:42,600 --> 00:21:44,480
But you know how those three are.

390
00:21:44,480 --> 00:21:48,720
They pick it up in fucking no time and end up being the best midfielder in the league

391
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:51,000
probably again.

392
00:21:51,000 --> 00:21:56,540
So Inter struggled against Alekse, listen to this because I don't think you know this.

393
00:21:56,540 --> 00:22:00,040
So Alekse came in with a couple of injuries.

394
00:22:00,040 --> 00:22:06,360
Two of them were Alessandro Tuia and Kastriot Dermacu.

395
00:22:06,360 --> 00:22:08,480
These are two centre backs of theirs.

396
00:22:08,480 --> 00:22:14,780
So it left them with one centre back in Tretin and he was partnered up with a right back

397
00:22:14,780 --> 00:22:15,780
named Basquerotto.

398
00:22:15,780 --> 00:22:17,840
Oh, Basquerotto is a right back.

399
00:22:17,840 --> 00:22:23,160
Yep, Tretin went off injured in the 21st and he was replaced by a midfielder named Blin.

400
00:22:23,160 --> 00:22:24,400
You're taking the piss.

401
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:30,480
So Alekse played 70 minutes with a right back and a central midfielder as their two centre

402
00:22:30,480 --> 00:22:34,120
backs and Inter couldn't score, bro.

403
00:22:34,120 --> 00:22:35,120
That's amazing.

404
00:22:35,120 --> 00:22:36,120
Couldn't score.

405
00:22:36,120 --> 00:22:40,960
Sure, Falcone had the fucking game of his life, bro.

406
00:22:40,960 --> 00:22:42,440
Falcone had the game of his life.

407
00:22:42,440 --> 00:22:43,880
He had a couple of good ones with Samp.

408
00:22:43,880 --> 00:22:49,400
I was surprised last year to see Audero come back in and bench Falcone because Falcone is

409
00:22:49,400 --> 00:22:51,960
a fucking monster, man.

410
00:22:51,960 --> 00:22:53,200
A monster.

411
00:22:53,200 --> 00:22:55,160
So that's just a little interesting fact.

412
00:22:55,160 --> 00:22:56,160
I had no idea, bro.

413
00:22:56,160 --> 00:22:58,360
So they didn't even have a centre back.

414
00:22:58,360 --> 00:22:59,920
They currently, they're really struggling.

415
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:02,120
Lecce because their centre backs are all injured.

416
00:23:02,120 --> 00:23:06,560
They have the Milan last year when Kier, Romagnoli and Tomori were all injured.

417
00:23:06,560 --> 00:23:09,480
So they don't have the legs when the Mattia Gabbiati cover.

418
00:23:09,480 --> 00:23:12,120
Exactly, Mattia Gabbiati and Calumunu starting together.

419
00:23:12,120 --> 00:23:14,160
Just a heart attack back then.

420
00:23:14,160 --> 00:23:20,720
Obviously, Lukaku scored 82 seconds into his return against Lecce in 2019.

421
00:23:20,720 --> 00:23:25,920
Lukaku scored his debut goal for Inter against Lecce as well.

422
00:23:25,920 --> 00:23:29,840
Oh, ridden in the stars.

423
00:23:29,840 --> 00:23:35,640
Who stood out for you from Lecce?

424
00:23:35,640 --> 00:23:39,200
From Lecce, I quite liked fucking Streffetza down the wing.

425
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:40,200
Streffetza was really good.

426
00:23:40,200 --> 00:23:41,960
Streffetza was good.

427
00:23:41,960 --> 00:23:44,120
And I'm impressed by Cissé.

428
00:23:44,120 --> 00:23:48,840
I know I mentioned two offensive players, but at the end of the day, Lecce, obviously

429
00:23:48,840 --> 00:23:50,120
Falcone as well.

430
00:23:50,120 --> 00:23:51,840
I cannot say Falcone.

431
00:23:51,840 --> 00:23:54,240
But those three in particular.

432
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:56,960
So Lecce looked calm.

433
00:23:56,960 --> 00:23:59,280
They looked like they kept their shape well.

434
00:23:59,280 --> 00:24:02,320
They transitioned from defence into attack quite well.

435
00:24:02,320 --> 00:24:03,760
So their build up there was decent.

436
00:24:03,760 --> 00:24:05,960
That's how they got their goal in the 48.

437
00:24:05,960 --> 00:24:07,200
I was quite impressed by them.

438
00:24:07,200 --> 00:24:11,920
But then individually, if I really had to pinpoint people, it's Falcone, Streffetza and

439
00:24:11,920 --> 00:24:12,920
Cissé.

440
00:24:12,920 --> 00:24:14,080
What do you think?

441
00:24:14,080 --> 00:24:15,360
For me, it's the same.

442
00:24:15,360 --> 00:24:17,800
I mean, I would say Falcone, Streffetza.

443
00:24:17,800 --> 00:24:21,040
Of course, Cissé scored, but I was really impressed by Gallo, the fullback.

444
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,040
Gallo was good.

445
00:24:22,040 --> 00:24:23,320
He looks really good, man, honestly.

446
00:24:23,320 --> 00:24:25,920
And against Darmian, there he had Darmian and Skriniar on his side.

447
00:24:25,920 --> 00:24:27,240
They did really well.

448
00:24:27,240 --> 00:24:28,840
And they brought in Frabotta.

449
00:24:28,840 --> 00:24:35,240
I'm not quite sure Frabotta will find it easy to displace Gallo on this team.

450
00:24:35,240 --> 00:24:37,320
It's difficult, but then Frabotta has more experience.

451
00:24:37,320 --> 00:24:40,560
Frabotta has the fact that he's owned by Juventus, man.

452
00:24:40,560 --> 00:24:41,800
That's the card he'll play.

453
00:24:41,800 --> 00:24:47,760
So yeah, not a bad first game for Marco Barani and his men, especially against Nzaghi's Inter.

454
00:24:47,760 --> 00:24:53,600
And you can see, if you manage, Marco Barani, with newly promoted Lecce, manages to make

455
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:59,880
a sweaty, stressed out fucking Nzaghi celebrate like he won the league at the end because

456
00:24:59,880 --> 00:25:02,680
they fucking got a late winner against Lecce.

457
00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,960
That's a job well done, dude.

458
00:25:03,960 --> 00:25:04,960
Honestly.

459
00:25:04,960 --> 00:25:05,960
It is, man.

460
00:25:05,960 --> 00:25:06,960
It is.

461
00:25:06,960 --> 00:25:07,960
No, I had Lecce in last.

462
00:25:07,960 --> 00:25:10,040
I'm not going to be that guy to change my opinion after one match.

463
00:25:10,040 --> 00:25:12,040
But after this game?

464
00:25:12,040 --> 00:25:15,240
No, but I'm impressed.

465
00:25:15,240 --> 00:25:16,240
I'm impressed.

466
00:25:16,240 --> 00:25:20,080
I mean, that doesn't look like a team that comes 20th and say, yeah, I'm going to be

467
00:25:20,080 --> 00:25:21,080
totally honest with you.

468
00:25:21,080 --> 00:25:22,080
But we'll see.

469
00:25:22,080 --> 00:25:23,080
They might absolutely suck off.

470
00:25:23,080 --> 00:25:24,080
They did.

471
00:25:24,080 --> 00:25:25,080
Exactly.

472
00:25:25,080 --> 00:25:26,080
Exactly.

473
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:30,920
Inter, obviously, I'm sure that they'll grow from this game.

474
00:25:30,920 --> 00:25:32,680
I'm sure that they're on a high.

475
00:25:32,680 --> 00:25:35,240
I think Lecce should also be on a high from that as well.

476
00:25:35,240 --> 00:25:37,880
So I'm interested to see what these two teams are going to do.

477
00:25:37,880 --> 00:25:44,160
I'd like to say as well that Inter have sold their youth player, Cassidy, to Chelsea for

478
00:25:44,160 --> 00:25:46,000
somewhere between 15 to 20 million.

479
00:25:46,000 --> 00:25:49,200
And that's Pena Monty as well for 20 million.

480
00:25:49,200 --> 00:25:52,360
So suddenly they have 40 million plus Valencia.

481
00:25:52,360 --> 00:25:57,360
So turns out the Corea by might have not been that bad after all.

482
00:25:57,360 --> 00:26:00,560
It's not worth half of that.

483
00:26:00,560 --> 00:26:03,320
Another thing about Inter that I had to mention, what the hell was it?

484
00:26:03,320 --> 00:26:04,800
I had something in mind.

485
00:26:04,800 --> 00:26:05,800
Brain blast.

486
00:26:05,800 --> 00:26:06,800
Oh, shit, I forgot.

487
00:26:06,800 --> 00:26:07,800
OK, never mind.

488
00:26:07,800 --> 00:26:08,800
Moving on.

489
00:26:08,800 --> 00:26:13,920
Moving on quickly to the next game.

490
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:16,120
The next game.

491
00:26:16,120 --> 00:26:18,480
Jesus, he's lagging.

492
00:26:18,480 --> 00:26:19,480
Yes, sir.

493
00:26:19,480 --> 00:26:24,360
The next game took place between Juventus and Suswala.

494
00:26:24,360 --> 00:26:26,920
This was the Monday night game.

495
00:26:26,920 --> 00:26:27,920
Oh, God.

496
00:26:27,920 --> 00:26:28,920
Oh, God.

497
00:26:28,920 --> 00:26:31,520
I love football on a Monday night.

498
00:26:31,520 --> 00:26:32,520
Football on a Monday is lovely.

499
00:26:32,520 --> 00:26:34,960
Better than summer days on a Monday.

500
00:26:34,960 --> 00:26:35,960
I'll tell you that.

501
00:26:35,960 --> 00:26:37,080
Honestly, I don't know why.

502
00:26:37,080 --> 00:26:38,800
So Matt, you decided to go to a festival.

503
00:26:38,800 --> 00:26:39,800
It was great.

504
00:26:39,800 --> 00:26:41,040
It was really, really fucking good.

505
00:26:41,040 --> 00:26:42,240
It was really good.

506
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:45,640
But you missed the De Maria and the Guevara Xelia show with Bro.

507
00:26:45,640 --> 00:26:51,600
I saw a bit of the Guevara show, but I did end up at a festival with five women.

508
00:26:51,600 --> 00:26:53,440
Just myself and five other women.

509
00:26:53,440 --> 00:26:54,440
I had a blast.

510
00:26:54,440 --> 00:26:55,440
I don't get it wrong.

511
00:26:55,440 --> 00:26:58,440
You had the shortest shorts of the group.

512
00:26:58,440 --> 00:27:05,040
That's because I have the nicest legs.

513
00:27:05,040 --> 00:27:10,000
Anyway, Juventus 3 Suswala 0.

514
00:27:10,000 --> 00:27:14,880
Suswala, a fun fact about this game before we get into it, have only ever beaten Juventus

515
00:27:14,880 --> 00:27:16,240
once away from home.

516
00:27:16,240 --> 00:27:17,240
Last season.

517
00:27:17,240 --> 00:27:18,240
And it was last season.

518
00:27:18,240 --> 00:27:21,240
Remember who scored the winner?

519
00:27:21,240 --> 00:27:22,240
No.

520
00:27:22,240 --> 00:27:26,000
Maxime Lopez, who was suspended for this game.

521
00:27:26,000 --> 00:27:30,160
So unfortunately, I mean, I wouldn't say that's the only why.

522
00:27:30,160 --> 00:27:35,760
In fact, I want to point out that I was particularly impressed by his replacement, Henrique.

523
00:27:35,760 --> 00:27:43,300
In fact, for the first few moments of the game, Henrique, Henrique, Henrique.

524
00:27:43,300 --> 00:27:45,760
Yeah, maybe Henrique, Henrique.

525
00:27:45,760 --> 00:27:48,960
Let's call him Henry.

526
00:27:48,960 --> 00:27:51,640
No, because I think he's the Hellas Verona striker.

527
00:27:51,640 --> 00:27:52,640
But anyway, Henrique.

528
00:27:52,640 --> 00:27:56,080
In fact, I thought he was Maxime Lopez at the beginning.

529
00:27:56,080 --> 00:27:57,080
Oh, okay.

530
00:27:57,080 --> 00:28:00,200
I was like, oh, Maxime Lopez, turning like playing the ball around as usual.

531
00:28:00,200 --> 00:28:01,200
I don't know.

532
00:28:01,200 --> 00:28:02,200
What the hell is that?

533
00:28:02,200 --> 00:28:03,200
Then I realized it's Henrique.

534
00:28:03,200 --> 00:28:04,200
And he was playing very well.

535
00:28:04,200 --> 00:28:05,200
So let's go through the lineups.

536
00:28:05,200 --> 00:28:07,760
Perrin started in goal for Juventus.

537
00:28:07,760 --> 00:28:11,800
This happens sometimes before Shesney comes back and we'll never see Perrin again.

538
00:28:11,800 --> 00:28:17,160
Danilo on the right, Bonucci and Bremer, which has a nice ring to it as the centre back partnership.

539
00:28:17,160 --> 00:28:21,400
Sandro out wide, McKennie on the left and Quadrado on the right.

540
00:28:21,400 --> 00:28:22,960
It was a 4-4-2 at the beginning.

541
00:28:22,960 --> 00:28:26,840
Locatelli and Zakaria in the middle with Vladovic and Di Maria up front.

542
00:28:26,840 --> 00:28:28,520
The 4-4-2 did not last very long.

543
00:28:28,520 --> 00:28:30,160
It lasted until the first water break.

544
00:28:30,160 --> 00:28:31,160
He did it like bamboozle.

545
00:28:31,160 --> 00:28:35,400
Like he lined up a 4-4-2, just a bamboozle Sassuolo.

546
00:28:35,400 --> 00:28:40,280
I think he did it because at heart he's still a terrorist.

547
00:28:40,280 --> 00:28:44,560
Concelli was in goal for Sassuolo and Muldow was on the right and Rogério on the left

548
00:28:44,560 --> 00:28:50,840
with the centre back pairing of Ferrari and Aihon aka Nannujo and Nanname.

549
00:28:50,840 --> 00:28:55,200
The midfield three were Frattesi, Henrique and Thorsvedt.

550
00:28:55,200 --> 00:28:59,320
And up front of course was Berardi on the right, Kyriakopoulos on the left and Defrel

551
00:28:59,320 --> 00:29:00,320
up front.

552
00:29:00,320 --> 00:29:11,280
I just say I fucking, every time I think of our theory about Concelli, I laugh so much.

553
00:29:11,280 --> 00:29:12,280
It's so funny bro.

554
00:29:12,280 --> 00:29:13,280
I love so much.

555
00:29:13,280 --> 00:29:14,280
Do you want to explain it to new listeners about that?

556
00:29:14,280 --> 00:29:15,840
Yeah, we'll have a few new listeners.

557
00:29:15,840 --> 00:29:21,400
Firstly, thank you very fucking much guys because we're randomly getting a bunch of

558
00:29:21,400 --> 00:29:25,800
downloads ever since I think we've introduced a bit of video on social media.

559
00:29:25,800 --> 00:29:30,560
So we'll keep that up for sure after that.

560
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:37,560
Our theory is basically, you know, we can't believe that Italy keep on calling up Donnarumma,

561
00:29:37,560 --> 00:29:39,160
Cranio and then Sirigu.

562
00:29:39,160 --> 00:29:47,280
And last time Donnarumma was injured and it was Cranio, Sirigu and some motherfucker.

563
00:29:47,280 --> 00:29:48,280
Maret.

564
00:29:48,280 --> 00:29:50,040
And there was another time they called up someone, bro.

565
00:29:50,040 --> 00:29:52,480
I've never heard of him in my life.

566
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:53,960
They call up weird keepers.

567
00:29:53,960 --> 00:29:56,600
They anything not to call up Concelli.

568
00:29:56,600 --> 00:29:58,640
So our theory is one cap.

569
00:29:58,640 --> 00:29:59,640
He has one cap.

570
00:29:59,640 --> 00:30:00,640
So he was there once.

571
00:30:00,640 --> 00:30:02,200
You know what he did?

572
00:30:02,200 --> 00:30:07,120
In our opinion, our theory is that he wanks in the shower.

573
00:30:07,120 --> 00:30:09,600
I lent this relentlessly.

574
00:30:09,600 --> 00:30:14,280
I feel like once in Sydney, I just drew the curtains and found him like squatting down

575
00:30:14,280 --> 00:30:20,360
with his hand between his legs, giving himself all those backhanded blowjob.

576
00:30:20,360 --> 00:30:27,240
Wanks after sitting on his arm for too long, like numbing it.

577
00:30:27,240 --> 00:30:28,920
And I think it was never called up since.

578
00:30:28,920 --> 00:30:31,040
So I guess someone else is doing it.

579
00:30:31,040 --> 00:30:33,160
I was like, what the fuck?

580
00:30:33,160 --> 00:30:34,160
Never called up again.

581
00:30:34,160 --> 00:30:35,160
Yeah, that's the thing.

582
00:30:35,160 --> 00:30:38,400
No, all jokes aside, Concelli is a brilliant keeper.

583
00:30:38,400 --> 00:30:41,560
It's surprising that he never plays for the Italian national team.

584
00:30:41,560 --> 00:30:44,600
So I don't know what's going on over there.

585
00:30:44,600 --> 00:30:48,800
Sassuolo were also missing Hamad Traore, who was absent due to injury.

586
00:30:48,800 --> 00:30:53,760
Now the game started off, Juve weren't as dominant at the beginning of the game.

587
00:30:53,760 --> 00:30:55,560
Sassuolo were playing their part.

588
00:30:55,560 --> 00:30:56,840
You know, it looked like a balance affair.

589
00:30:56,840 --> 00:31:03,000
And then the first water break came and Allegri decided to change things around.

590
00:31:03,000 --> 00:31:07,160
He changed to a 4-3-3 instead of a 4-4-2.

591
00:31:07,160 --> 00:31:10,240
And honestly, this changed the game completely.

592
00:31:10,240 --> 00:31:15,900
In the 26th minute, in fact, an Alexandra Cross fell to Di Maria.

593
00:31:15,900 --> 00:31:21,400
And Di Maria just shot it, like bounce shot it off the floor and over Concelli.

594
00:31:21,400 --> 00:31:23,600
And that was 1-0 to Juventus.

595
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:29,840
In the 43rd minute, Vlaović found himself clean through on goal, 1 v 1 against Ferrari.

596
00:31:29,840 --> 00:31:36,100
Ferrari, to be honest, still had, he was equal to him, but he used all 30 years of his footballing

597
00:31:36,100 --> 00:31:41,560
experience to just grab Vlaović and like wrap his arms around him and drop him on the

598
00:31:41,560 --> 00:31:43,440
floor and give away a penalty.

599
00:31:43,440 --> 00:31:45,280
What else can you do at that point?

600
00:31:45,280 --> 00:31:48,040
Honestly, imagine, like, I don't get it, man.

601
00:31:48,040 --> 00:31:53,400
Why as a, you're 30 years old, you're a centre back, you're one on one with Vlaović, you

602
00:31:53,400 --> 00:31:56,960
know, and you're going to wrap yourself around him before he's even beaten you.

603
00:31:56,960 --> 00:31:57,960
Yeah.

604
00:31:57,960 --> 00:31:58,960
It's just weird to me, man.

605
00:31:58,960 --> 00:32:02,600
Yeah, it's a, it seems like a non-experienced move at the end of the day.

606
00:32:02,600 --> 00:32:04,680
You're obviously giving away a penalty.

607
00:32:04,680 --> 00:32:05,680
It's panic, he's panicking.

608
00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:08,360
He's like, oh my God, this is Vlaović, shit, shit.

609
00:32:08,360 --> 00:32:10,680
You know, he's literally freaking out, like you can see it.

610
00:32:10,680 --> 00:32:13,760
And Vlaović just seemed stronger than if you struck him off, fell to the ground and

611
00:32:13,760 --> 00:32:14,760
won a penalty.

612
00:32:14,760 --> 00:32:15,760
Exactly.

613
00:32:15,760 --> 00:32:17,040
And then boom, he scores it himself.

614
00:32:17,040 --> 00:32:18,040
That's 2-0.

615
00:32:18,040 --> 00:32:24,040
And then in the second half, in the 51st minute, Di Maria's deflected pass fell to Vlaović,

616
00:32:24,040 --> 00:32:27,840
who stretches and finishes very well.

617
00:32:27,840 --> 00:32:29,480
This was after Aihon's mistake.

618
00:32:29,480 --> 00:32:34,240
So Ferrari and Aihon both had mistakes leading to goals, terrible display by both of them.

619
00:32:34,240 --> 00:32:36,920
And we thought that Vladimir Kirikis was the problem back there.

620
00:32:36,920 --> 00:32:39,160
Turns out it's just a curse over there.

621
00:32:39,160 --> 00:32:40,160
It's a swallow.

622
00:32:40,160 --> 00:32:43,520
They can't have a decent centre back performance over there.

623
00:32:43,520 --> 00:32:44,520
Agreed.

624
00:32:44,520 --> 00:32:46,680
Bro, 3-0.

625
00:32:46,680 --> 00:32:47,680
I was surprised.

626
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,480
I thought Sassuolo would bring it.

627
00:32:49,480 --> 00:32:51,440
I thought Sassuolo would bring it.

628
00:32:51,440 --> 00:32:55,440
Obviously we know what Sassuolo are like against the top seven teams.

629
00:32:55,440 --> 00:32:58,880
They just simply always perform against them.

630
00:32:58,880 --> 00:33:06,120
But more than that, I was very pleasantly surprised by Juve because Juve did not give

631
00:33:06,120 --> 00:33:12,960
Sassuolo the opportunity to do any of that shit that they like to do against the top

632
00:33:12,960 --> 00:33:13,960
teams.

633
00:33:13,960 --> 00:33:15,880
They didn't concede a single goal.

634
00:33:15,880 --> 00:33:19,600
I feel like they had a good performance defensively.

635
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:20,600
Midfield is TBD.

636
00:33:20,600 --> 00:33:25,320
I feel there's still a bit of TBD over there.

637
00:33:25,320 --> 00:33:28,600
Up front, Di Maria was fucking sensational.

638
00:33:28,600 --> 00:33:29,600
He was.

639
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,960
I'm sure you have a point there to talk about him.

640
00:33:31,960 --> 00:33:32,960
Vlaović was…

641
00:33:32,960 --> 00:33:37,160
I mean, I thought it was obvious that Di Maria would do well in Italy.

642
00:33:37,160 --> 00:33:40,640
The thing is, to be fair, we've both been right so far.

643
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:41,640
I said he'd do well in Italy.

644
00:33:41,640 --> 00:33:43,280
He said he can't play consistently.

645
00:33:43,280 --> 00:33:47,320
So he started his first game, one goal, one assist, and he's off injured.

646
00:33:47,320 --> 00:33:50,920
Allegri said he's not worried about the injury.

647
00:33:50,920 --> 00:33:53,360
It's just an abductor injury.

648
00:33:53,360 --> 00:33:56,200
It's something he struggled with for a while apparently.

649
00:33:56,200 --> 00:34:03,000
And even when he was training, he had this injury, a minor form of this injury, I guess.

650
00:34:03,000 --> 00:34:04,720
But yes, I think he'll be out.

651
00:34:04,720 --> 00:34:07,000
Last thing I saw was two weeks out.

652
00:34:07,000 --> 00:34:10,080
I saw seven to ten days.

653
00:34:10,080 --> 00:34:14,520
Seven to ten days is the kind of timeline they're giving him.

654
00:34:14,520 --> 00:34:21,720
But I thought Sassuolo would bring it, primarily, but I was also very surprised by Uwe's performance.

655
00:34:21,720 --> 00:34:24,200
They just hit the ground running immediately, man.

656
00:34:24,200 --> 00:34:25,200
It's true.

657
00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:32,560
And in fact, they did so in such a manner that they were able to bring on Miretti, Rovella

658
00:34:32,560 --> 00:34:34,720
and Sule towards the end of the game.

659
00:34:34,720 --> 00:34:35,720
You know, the youth team.

660
00:34:35,720 --> 00:34:40,680
They also brought on Costich and gave him a pressure-free first performance.

661
00:34:40,680 --> 00:34:45,640
They brought on Matteo Desilio, who had two moves, bro, like fucking prime Ronaldinho.

662
00:34:45,640 --> 00:34:49,440
I swear to God, man, there was a point.

663
00:34:49,440 --> 00:34:52,560
The commentator was like, sure, that was intentional by Matteo Desilio.

664
00:34:52,560 --> 00:34:54,680
It gets a replay and it literally was.

665
00:34:54,680 --> 00:34:58,320
He's looking at the ball and he looks at where he wants it to go and he plays it there, with

666
00:34:58,320 --> 00:34:59,320
the back heel.

667
00:34:59,320 --> 00:35:03,520
Where was this guy for Milan, man?

668
00:35:03,520 --> 00:35:07,400
Well, anyway, Thord's Velt, I thought, looked very raw for Sassuolo.

669
00:35:07,400 --> 00:35:09,600
He needs some time to adapt.

670
00:35:09,600 --> 00:35:10,600
But that's pretty much it.

671
00:35:10,600 --> 00:35:14,160
No point on milking the dead cow that is Sassuolo.

672
00:35:14,160 --> 00:35:15,160
What do you think?

673
00:35:15,160 --> 00:35:17,480
I think there's one more point, actually.

674
00:35:17,480 --> 00:35:20,520
Pinnamonti's entrance.

675
00:35:20,520 --> 00:35:24,560
I think he had some promising runs, some promising moments.

676
00:35:24,560 --> 00:35:26,920
I think he'll score a couple of goals with Sassuolo, Pinnamonti.

677
00:35:26,920 --> 00:35:28,280
I think so as well.

678
00:35:28,280 --> 00:35:30,440
I rate Pinnamonti a lot as a player.

679
00:35:30,440 --> 00:35:39,440
I think he's a young, creative attacker and he's got the grinta, the grinta that is in

680
00:35:39,440 --> 00:35:43,560
great strikers, the great strikers of Italy, like Luca Toni, for example.

681
00:35:43,560 --> 00:35:44,560
He had some good grinta.

682
00:35:44,560 --> 00:35:46,040
That passion for goals.

683
00:35:46,040 --> 00:35:47,040
Exactly.

684
00:35:47,040 --> 00:35:48,120
He just loved scoring.

685
00:35:48,120 --> 00:35:53,440
And I think in a team like Sassuolo, with Berardi to your right and Frattesi behind

686
00:35:53,440 --> 00:35:58,440
you, Thord's Velt is apparently a very good forward passer, so I'll be looking forward

687
00:35:58,440 --> 00:35:59,440
to seeing more of that.

688
00:35:59,440 --> 00:36:00,440
But he looks good.

689
00:36:00,440 --> 00:36:01,440
Exactly.

690
00:36:01,440 --> 00:36:05,480
Obviously, we probably won't see Raspado a replay for Sassuolo again after it seems like

691
00:36:05,480 --> 00:36:08,920
he's very, very close to a Napoli move.

692
00:36:08,920 --> 00:36:14,280
But I feel like overall, Sassuolo have a good enough squad to put food on the table for

693
00:36:14,280 --> 00:36:17,240
Pinnamonti to be able to back them.

694
00:36:17,240 --> 00:36:18,480
I think so too, man.

695
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:21,680
I think that he'll get goals.

696
00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:24,720
I think it's 12 goals guaranteed for him this season.

697
00:36:24,720 --> 00:36:27,360
Well, I'd say around 8-9.

698
00:36:27,360 --> 00:36:30,520
I mean, a kit.

699
00:36:30,520 --> 00:36:35,400
I mean, I'm still waiting for my three.

700
00:36:35,400 --> 00:36:36,400
One more you need.

701
00:36:36,400 --> 00:36:37,400
One more in the world.

702
00:36:37,400 --> 00:36:40,400
I told you, I pitched in for the classic.

703
00:36:40,400 --> 00:36:42,040
That was before we made the bet.

704
00:36:42,040 --> 00:36:43,480
And I got to the Fiorentina one.

705
00:36:43,480 --> 00:36:46,000
And for your fourth birthday, I got you a toy.

706
00:36:46,000 --> 00:36:49,960
Who the fuck cares?

707
00:36:49,960 --> 00:36:50,960
You're up, bro.

708
00:36:50,960 --> 00:36:53,200
You don't want to discuss Juve a little bit more, bro.

709
00:36:53,200 --> 00:36:54,840
I think they looked really, really good.

710
00:36:54,840 --> 00:36:56,320
They looked really dominant.

711
00:36:56,320 --> 00:36:58,320
They looked and then they kept scoring.

712
00:36:58,320 --> 00:37:01,680
It's not like the classic allegri way that we know where you score one and then you defend

713
00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,600
it and you concede, then you sweat to score another.

714
00:37:03,600 --> 00:37:04,600
You know what I mean?

715
00:37:04,600 --> 00:37:05,840
They kept going all game.

716
00:37:05,840 --> 00:37:08,000
Di Maria is a breath of fresh air for them.

717
00:37:08,000 --> 00:37:12,200
Quadrado playing up higher up is just incredible, man.

718
00:37:12,200 --> 00:37:16,440
Like even there was a point when a ball was coming from the top, like quite high up.

719
00:37:16,440 --> 00:37:20,880
He just touches it first time and just instantly does it like wiggle turn, you know, the one

720
00:37:20,880 --> 00:37:22,880
like and he skips his man instantly.

721
00:37:22,880 --> 00:37:24,080
He's so good.

722
00:37:24,080 --> 00:37:25,640
He's the closest thing.

723
00:37:25,640 --> 00:37:26,640
He's the closest human.

724
00:37:26,640 --> 00:37:30,200
How am I going to word this?

725
00:37:30,200 --> 00:37:31,720
He's a human cockroach, bro.

726
00:37:31,720 --> 00:37:32,720
That's what he is.

727
00:37:32,720 --> 00:37:33,720
Okay.

728
00:37:33,720 --> 00:37:37,160
He's slipping around, you know, you can't catch him like going through the crevices,

729
00:37:37,160 --> 00:37:40,520
like he's trying to fucking whack him with your shoe and you can't get him.

730
00:37:40,520 --> 00:37:43,960
You know, you're breaking your furniture trying to get them and you can't like he's a human

731
00:37:43,960 --> 00:37:44,960
cockroach.

732
00:37:44,960 --> 00:37:47,440
Quadrado, honestly, so slippery.

733
00:37:47,440 --> 00:37:49,440
I see what you mean about Quadrado.

734
00:37:49,440 --> 00:37:53,920
And just Quadrado having Di Maria up ahead of him is nuts, man.

735
00:37:53,920 --> 00:37:54,920
It is.

736
00:37:54,920 --> 00:37:55,920
Uh-huh.

737
00:37:55,920 --> 00:37:57,200
Juve will be up there, man, this year.

738
00:37:57,200 --> 00:37:59,080
Juve will definitely be up there.

739
00:37:59,080 --> 00:38:00,520
I think so.

740
00:38:00,520 --> 00:38:06,000
So the next game we're going to be covering is Verona 2-Napoli 5, not the first high scoring

741
00:38:06,000 --> 00:38:07,880
affair we saw between these two teams.

742
00:38:07,880 --> 00:38:11,760
It was the first time we saw Verona under Trophy ourselves.

743
00:38:11,760 --> 00:38:17,680
Obviously they had the midweek loss a couple of days ago that was under Trophy as well.

744
00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:20,880
I believe it was a 4-1 loss to Bayern.

745
00:38:20,880 --> 00:38:23,080
But yeah, Verona 2-Napoli 5.

746
00:38:23,080 --> 00:38:28,720
So Napoli lined up with Maret in goal with Di Lorenzo and Mario Rui being the right back

747
00:38:28,720 --> 00:38:29,720
and left back.

748
00:38:29,720 --> 00:38:33,080
Rachmani and Minje forming the centre back duo.

749
00:38:33,080 --> 00:38:37,920
And Gwisalobotka and Zielinski started in the midfield with Lozano and Gvaracielia out

750
00:38:37,920 --> 00:38:40,160
wide and Ozymen down the middle.

751
00:38:40,160 --> 00:38:45,340
On the other hand, Verona lined up with their 3-5-2 formation, a much changed side from

752
00:38:45,340 --> 00:38:49,160
last year's 3-4-2-1 formation.

753
00:38:49,160 --> 00:38:53,440
Cosmonte Pongole with Amione, Gunther and Davidovic at the back.

754
00:38:53,440 --> 00:38:55,520
Farane and Lazovic were the two wingbacks.

755
00:38:55,520 --> 00:38:58,840
Illich, Hongla and Tamez were the three centre midfielders.

756
00:38:58,840 --> 00:39:03,720
And Kdoglazzi started up front alongside Thomas Henri.

757
00:39:03,720 --> 00:39:07,740
So in the 29th minute it was Kdoglazzi that opened the scoring.

758
00:39:07,740 --> 00:39:12,000
It was a corner by Illich that was flicked on by Gunther and into Lozano's path at the

759
00:39:12,000 --> 00:39:15,800
far post, leaving him with an empty net to thump the ball into.

760
00:39:15,800 --> 00:39:20,520
It was totally unmarked and I feel like Rui could have done much better in that situation.

761
00:39:20,520 --> 00:39:22,840
A goal for Lozano is a goal for Seha Spotlight.

762
00:39:22,840 --> 00:39:24,640
There you go, thank you Kevin.

763
00:39:24,640 --> 00:39:31,640
In the 37th minute, Kvarac scored his first goal of the season on his debut after a header

764
00:39:31,640 --> 00:39:33,200
in after a Lozano cross.

765
00:39:33,200 --> 00:39:35,200
It's good to know that he can hit the ball as well.

766
00:39:35,200 --> 00:39:37,640
And apparently it's not his strongest point.

767
00:39:37,640 --> 00:39:38,640
You know what I mean?

768
00:39:38,640 --> 00:39:41,840
And I would have never guessed by looking at the way he headed it in.

769
00:39:41,840 --> 00:39:42,840
He took it very well man.

770
00:39:42,840 --> 00:39:43,840
He did.

771
00:39:43,840 --> 00:39:44,840
He took it ridiculously well.

772
00:39:44,840 --> 00:39:49,720
But he said that's not his strongest point and it was good to see him scoring a header.

773
00:39:49,720 --> 00:39:54,320
In the 48th minute still, in the first half, Rui's corner was flicked on by Di Lorenzo

774
00:39:54,320 --> 00:39:56,360
and volleyed in by Ozymen.

775
00:39:56,360 --> 00:39:58,360
This man just loved scoring against Verona.

776
00:39:58,360 --> 00:40:01,360
We were talking about Bakal against Milan.

777
00:40:01,360 --> 00:40:03,840
Ozymen has the same against Hellas Verona.

778
00:40:03,840 --> 00:40:07,800
I believe he scored two against them last year, if not three bro, over the course of

779
00:40:07,800 --> 00:40:10,000
the two legs.

780
00:40:10,000 --> 00:40:15,040
In the 48th minute, but in the second half, Thomas Henry got the equalizer.

781
00:40:15,040 --> 00:40:20,280
He headed in on his debut after a brilliant run and cross by Davide Faroni.

782
00:40:20,280 --> 00:40:24,760
He seemed to injure KDoglazzi while they were celebrating.

783
00:40:24,760 --> 00:40:28,960
The creamy main course went on to play until the 72nd minute though.

784
00:40:28,960 --> 00:40:31,920
So you can't bring the man down like that.

785
00:40:31,920 --> 00:40:33,360
No, but he did.

786
00:40:33,360 --> 00:40:34,600
He was bleeding from his mouth.

787
00:40:34,600 --> 00:40:36,440
You know, that's fucking nuts.

788
00:40:36,440 --> 00:40:41,640
Like he was playing with a cotton pad in his mouth for the rest of the game.

789
00:40:41,640 --> 00:40:47,520
Henri needs to take a trip to Milan, speak to Lukaku, speak to Lukaku's mom because it

790
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:50,000
seems like he has a bad omen about him.

791
00:40:50,000 --> 00:40:53,080
So she could bring him some good juju after that.

792
00:40:53,080 --> 00:40:56,800
It seems like everywhere Henri goes, sure he's off to a good start, but it seems like

793
00:40:56,800 --> 00:40:59,040
he just brings a bit of trouble with him.

794
00:40:59,040 --> 00:41:04,560
In the 55th minute bro, Zieliński scored this goal and it was just a classic, sexy,

795
00:41:04,560 --> 00:41:10,320
stylish, luxurious goal by the gangsters of Naples as it was a one touch play.

796
00:41:10,320 --> 00:41:15,560
It was Zieliński clean through on goal who slotted in without issue.

797
00:41:15,560 --> 00:41:18,520
Same old Napoli brother.

798
00:41:18,520 --> 00:41:19,520
Same old Napoli.

799
00:41:19,520 --> 00:41:20,520
Gwara that ball man.

800
00:41:20,520 --> 00:41:24,720
Like it's safe to say, I'm sorry, I'm going to come out here bro.

801
00:41:24,720 --> 00:41:26,360
You heard it here first.

802
00:41:26,360 --> 00:41:31,120
I, Jake Weneck, I'm Gwara sexual.

803
00:41:31,120 --> 00:41:32,120
Fucking hell.

804
00:41:32,120 --> 00:41:36,040
I appreciate Gwitra Gwara Srela to the maximum bro.

805
00:41:36,040 --> 00:41:37,480
He's such a cool player.

806
00:41:37,480 --> 00:41:39,560
He's so direct and he's so skillful.

807
00:41:39,560 --> 00:41:42,360
You never know what he's going to do when he gets the ball.

808
00:41:42,360 --> 00:41:45,440
That ball that he gave to Zieliński was so clever man.

809
00:41:45,440 --> 00:41:49,300
Like he, many players have taken an extra touch there.

810
00:41:49,300 --> 00:41:53,000
He knew that like he did, it would have been better without it.

811
00:41:53,000 --> 00:41:54,640
And he put the perfect amount of weight on it.

812
00:41:54,640 --> 00:41:56,720
The perfect ball to Zieliński man.

813
00:41:56,720 --> 00:41:57,720
Amazing ball honestly.

814
00:41:57,720 --> 00:41:59,280
I'm a real big fan of this guy.

815
00:41:59,280 --> 00:42:02,240
Firstly, I support you, but still if you need to talk, I'm here for you.

816
00:42:02,240 --> 00:42:03,240
Thank you very much.

817
00:42:03,240 --> 00:42:06,840
But Gwara, it just seems like, okay, I'm at Napoli.

818
00:42:06,840 --> 00:42:07,840
So this is a first time ball.

819
00:42:07,840 --> 00:42:09,280
You know what I mean?

820
00:42:09,280 --> 00:42:11,840
Ozyman dragged the ball down to midfield so well.

821
00:42:11,840 --> 00:42:16,880
He released, I believe it was to Lobotka who released it to Gwara, who released it to Zieliński,

822
00:42:16,880 --> 00:42:19,720
who finished off so well.

823
00:42:19,720 --> 00:42:23,520
And that was just a classic, classic Napoli goal.

824
00:42:23,520 --> 00:42:28,040
In the 65th minute Stanislaw Lobotka turned into Lionel Lobotka.

825
00:42:28,040 --> 00:42:30,440
It was such a messy goal.

826
00:42:30,440 --> 00:42:35,480
He just like ran down the middle, swiveled his fucking shoulder left, right, left, right

827
00:42:35,480 --> 00:42:39,240
a little bit and curled it into the bottom corner from just outside the area.

828
00:42:39,240 --> 00:42:42,280
Spalletti said that he reminds him of Iniesta.

829
00:42:42,280 --> 00:42:43,280
Really?

830
00:42:43,280 --> 00:42:44,280
Lobotka reminds him of Iniesta?

831
00:42:44,280 --> 00:42:45,280
Yeah.

832
00:42:45,280 --> 00:42:46,280
Fucking hell.

833
00:42:46,280 --> 00:42:47,280
Has he ever managed Iniesta?

834
00:42:47,280 --> 00:42:48,280
So high praise.

835
00:42:48,280 --> 00:42:51,280
Is the question, but sure.

836
00:42:51,280 --> 00:42:54,560
At this point, just everyone's getting their name on the score sheet.

837
00:42:54,560 --> 00:43:01,120
Seventy-ninth minute, then Poletano, mama fucking mia man, another brilliant goal for

838
00:43:01,120 --> 00:43:03,120
Napoli.

839
00:43:03,120 --> 00:43:08,720
This one, Loki, might have even been better than Zieliński's with a slight question

840
00:43:08,720 --> 00:43:11,120
mark around it, take it to a pinch of salt.

841
00:43:11,120 --> 00:43:14,200
The man who converted, which was Poletano, was the man who started the attack.

842
00:43:14,200 --> 00:43:17,520
He played the ball to Di Lorenzo, who squared the ball into the box.

843
00:43:17,520 --> 00:43:23,120
Ozyman flicked it back stylishly to Poletano, had time to control and convert into the bottom

844
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:24,120
corner.

845
00:43:24,120 --> 00:43:25,120
It was fantastic, man.

846
00:43:25,120 --> 00:43:29,760
Adamou Nass then came on the bench and had a brilliant performance.

847
00:43:29,760 --> 00:43:33,040
He scored within 90 seconds after combining with Poletano.

848
00:43:33,040 --> 00:43:34,040
A really good goal.

849
00:43:34,040 --> 00:43:35,320
A really good goal, man.

850
00:43:35,320 --> 00:43:40,320
But it was disallowed for Alessio Zerbin's foul on the goalkeeper.

851
00:43:40,320 --> 00:43:42,640
That's why it was disallowed.

852
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:44,480
But man, fuck me.

853
00:43:44,480 --> 00:43:45,960
Do Napoli look good?

854
00:43:45,960 --> 00:43:46,960
They look really good.

855
00:43:46,960 --> 00:43:49,040
Fuck me, Napoli look good, man.

856
00:43:49,040 --> 00:43:53,720
They look really good, honestly, for a team that lost so many fundamental players, like

857
00:43:53,720 --> 00:44:00,720
in Ospina, Koulibaly, Fabian Ruiz, Insigne, like Jesus Christ, they lost an important

858
00:44:00,720 --> 00:44:04,920
player in every single position.

859
00:44:04,920 --> 00:44:07,040
So yeah, I was extremely impressed by them.

860
00:44:07,040 --> 00:44:12,560
And I was surprised to see Napoli under Guevara, kind of.

861
00:44:12,560 --> 00:44:16,680
Now this is obviously after one match, so again, take it to the pinch of salt.

862
00:44:16,680 --> 00:44:21,680
But I see them with Guevara being slightly better than they were under Insigne.

863
00:44:21,680 --> 00:44:22,680
Especially towards the end.

864
00:44:22,680 --> 00:44:23,680
I agree with you.

865
00:44:23,680 --> 00:44:26,920
Insigne, towards the end, wasn't that great, in my opinion.

866
00:44:26,920 --> 00:44:30,280
His last season was slow down.

867
00:44:30,280 --> 00:44:31,280
And he was a bit predictable.

868
00:44:31,280 --> 00:44:36,200
He had this ego where he'd just shoot, you know.

869
00:44:36,200 --> 00:44:39,960
I think Guevara is a breath of fresh air for them, 21 years old.

870
00:44:39,960 --> 00:44:41,440
He's a breath of fresh air.

871
00:44:41,440 --> 00:44:44,920
It seems like he's quite an all-rounder as well.

872
00:44:44,920 --> 00:44:49,560
He could link up there, could score with the head, he could score with his feet, he's explosive,

873
00:44:49,560 --> 00:44:52,560
he's dynamic.

874
00:44:52,560 --> 00:44:57,280
But above and beyond everything, he is incredibly direct.

875
00:44:57,280 --> 00:45:00,080
Him and Lozano down the wings are incredibly direct.

876
00:45:00,080 --> 00:45:02,440
And for Napoli, it's so good.

877
00:45:02,440 --> 00:45:06,920
Because when they play down Insigne's side, sure, he'll bring something a little bit different.

878
00:45:06,920 --> 00:45:07,920
Well, different.

879
00:45:07,920 --> 00:45:12,720
At that point, it was something, you know, it was on paper, essentially, for them.

880
00:45:12,720 --> 00:45:14,600
He used to cut inside, slow down the play.

881
00:45:14,600 --> 00:45:18,240
But now it's like, whether we go down the right or whether we go down the left, we're

882
00:45:18,240 --> 00:45:21,400
going to be explosive, we're going to be quick, and good luck.

883
00:45:21,400 --> 00:45:25,960
They wouldn't leave time for the defense to adjust in this game.

884
00:45:25,960 --> 00:45:28,400
And that's why they won this game.

885
00:45:28,400 --> 00:45:31,400
And you can see that they were playing with a chip on their shoulder.

886
00:45:31,400 --> 00:45:34,640
Napoli, they wanted to remind everyone that, hey, we're still here.

887
00:45:34,640 --> 00:45:35,640
We're still competitive.

888
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:36,640
They're not coming fifth.

889
00:45:36,640 --> 00:45:37,640
Matt and Jake.

890
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:39,200
Yeah, Matt and Jake, you fucking assholes.

891
00:45:39,200 --> 00:45:41,880
We're going to be in top four.

892
00:45:41,880 --> 00:45:44,440
They also got revenge on Hellas.

893
00:45:44,440 --> 00:45:49,440
Remember that Hellas is the team two years ago that stopped Napoli from playing Champions

894
00:45:49,440 --> 00:45:51,000
League football.

895
00:45:51,000 --> 00:45:54,000
When they were under, they got two, so they missed out by one point or two points, something

896
00:45:54,000 --> 00:45:55,000
crazy like that.

897
00:45:55,000 --> 00:45:56,000
Exactly.

898
00:45:56,000 --> 00:45:59,920
Yeah, it was a Farone goal at the end.

899
00:45:59,920 --> 00:46:03,960
But I also need to point out that this is match day one, right?

900
00:46:03,960 --> 00:46:07,360
Napoli have already worn a special jersey.

901
00:46:07,360 --> 00:46:10,560
Incredible, man.

902
00:46:10,560 --> 00:46:12,000
Incredible.

903
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:14,000
They have four kits already.

904
00:46:14,000 --> 00:46:16,640
It's match day fucking one, dog.

905
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:17,640
Match day one.

906
00:46:17,640 --> 00:46:25,360
It was a replication of the kit that goalkeeper Claudio Garella wore in goal when they won

907
00:46:25,360 --> 00:46:30,500
the Scudetto on 84-85 because he died last week, which is why there was the minute of

908
00:46:30,500 --> 00:46:32,080
silence before the game.

909
00:46:32,080 --> 00:46:33,080
It's cool.

910
00:46:33,080 --> 00:46:34,080
It's nice.

911
00:46:34,080 --> 00:46:35,080
I get it.

912
00:46:35,080 --> 00:46:37,480
But I don't have any excuse for them to create a new kit.

913
00:46:37,480 --> 00:46:40,080
They love making money off a dead person, Napoli.

914
00:46:40,080 --> 00:46:41,080
But anyway.

915
00:46:41,080 --> 00:46:45,520
The amount of Maradona kits they had made.

916
00:46:45,520 --> 00:46:51,800
One player that stood out to me as being not up to the task whatsoever was Amione.

917
00:46:51,800 --> 00:46:55,600
Amione was kind of rubbish for Verona.

918
00:46:55,600 --> 00:47:03,720
Fuck Verona concentrating every transfer window, putting all of their finances into the attacking

919
00:47:03,720 --> 00:47:09,280
part of the game and just totally neglecting those three at the back because they're weak,

920
00:47:09,280 --> 00:47:10,280
bro.

921
00:47:10,280 --> 00:47:11,280
They're simply not that good.

922
00:47:11,280 --> 00:47:12,280
It's true.

923
00:47:12,280 --> 00:47:14,280
Sure, Gunther is good in the air.

924
00:47:14,280 --> 00:47:17,480
Sure, Davidovic has a good slide tackle to him.

925
00:47:17,480 --> 00:47:18,480
You know what I mean.

926
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:25,360
But bro, very average for a team that's aiming for ninth, eighth, top ten, essentially, their

927
00:47:25,360 --> 00:47:27,600
back three is awful, man.

928
00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:28,600
It's true.

929
00:47:28,600 --> 00:47:31,160
And I know I'm judging them against Napoli, but this isn't only against Napoli.

930
00:47:31,160 --> 00:47:33,520
This was last season as well.

931
00:47:33,520 --> 00:47:34,520
Yeah.

932
00:47:34,520 --> 00:47:36,480
Amione was terrible.

933
00:47:36,480 --> 00:47:38,240
Amione was bad.

934
00:47:38,240 --> 00:47:41,040
Otherwise Gunther and Davidovic were okay.

935
00:47:41,040 --> 00:47:42,040
Yeah.

936
00:47:42,040 --> 00:47:43,040
Okay.

937
00:47:43,040 --> 00:47:44,880
But again, Napoli were just too quick.

938
00:47:44,880 --> 00:47:46,400
They were too dynamic for them.

939
00:47:46,400 --> 00:47:48,000
They couldn't find their feet.

940
00:47:48,000 --> 00:47:49,840
And they grew into the game well, Napoli.

941
00:47:49,840 --> 00:47:54,240
There was a moment in the first half before they were winning and they had a free kick,

942
00:47:54,240 --> 00:47:55,240
right?

943
00:47:55,240 --> 00:47:58,360
There was the kicker and there was the guy who does the fake run.

944
00:47:58,360 --> 00:48:00,200
What is this, American football with the kicker?

945
00:48:00,200 --> 00:48:01,200
There was the kicker, man.

946
00:48:01,200 --> 00:48:03,920
There was the player outfield who ran by the byline.

947
00:48:03,920 --> 00:48:05,200
No, no, no.

948
00:48:05,200 --> 00:48:07,840
There was honestly, there was the guy taking the free kick and there was the guy who did

949
00:48:07,840 --> 00:48:08,840
the fake run.

950
00:48:08,840 --> 00:48:09,840
Okay.

951
00:48:09,840 --> 00:48:15,640
So the player fake runs and the player who was meant to take the free kick ran away from

952
00:48:15,640 --> 00:48:16,640
it as well.

953
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:19,320
So there was a massive miscommunication and basically both players standing over the free

954
00:48:19,320 --> 00:48:21,080
kick ran away from the ball.

955
00:48:21,080 --> 00:48:25,720
And now this was like the reaction from the fans was hilarious.

956
00:48:25,720 --> 00:48:29,360
It was like, how embarrassing, man.

957
00:48:29,360 --> 00:48:34,960
At that point, you just want the game to end, man.

958
00:48:34,960 --> 00:48:38,760
I'm sure they wouldn't have minded the final whistle being blown soon after.

959
00:48:38,760 --> 00:48:39,760
Yeah.

960
00:48:39,760 --> 00:48:42,240
I had another point.

961
00:48:42,240 --> 00:48:48,400
Of course, Giovanni Simeone didn't start this match for the simple reason that he has moved

962
00:48:48,400 --> 00:48:52,480
to the opponents in Napoli and it is official.

963
00:48:52,480 --> 00:48:55,040
He will be joining them.

964
00:48:55,040 --> 00:48:56,200
I don't know about fees.

965
00:48:56,200 --> 00:49:00,800
I don't know about length of contract, but he is now a Napoli player and we'll see him

966
00:49:00,800 --> 00:49:02,040
there in the coming weeks.

967
00:49:02,040 --> 00:49:07,000
Probably playing second fiddle to Ozyman, but not a bad second fiddle to have.

968
00:49:07,000 --> 00:49:08,800
And they need one.

969
00:49:08,800 --> 00:49:09,960
How many goals he scored last year?

970
00:49:09,960 --> 00:49:10,960
Quite a few, man.

971
00:49:10,960 --> 00:49:11,960
Oh, bro, like 18.

972
00:49:11,960 --> 00:49:12,960
Something like that.

973
00:49:12,960 --> 00:49:13,960
Something like that.

974
00:49:13,960 --> 00:49:15,960
I mean, they came in four games.

975
00:49:15,960 --> 00:49:16,960
You know what?

976
00:49:16,960 --> 00:49:20,520
I hit a score of three goals here, two goals there.

977
00:49:20,520 --> 00:49:22,920
But yeah, it'd be a good addition to Napoli.

978
00:49:22,920 --> 00:49:23,920
Him under Spalletti.

979
00:49:23,920 --> 00:49:24,920
I see him growing a lot.

980
00:49:24,920 --> 00:49:28,080
He's a player with a fine set of testicles.

981
00:49:28,080 --> 00:49:33,040
And obviously Fabiano Ruiz didn't start after, after his transfer to PSG.

982
00:49:33,040 --> 00:49:34,040
He's moving to PSG.

983
00:49:34,040 --> 00:49:35,040
Fabiano Ruiz.

984
00:49:35,040 --> 00:49:37,200
I was not expecting PSG.

985
00:49:37,200 --> 00:49:38,960
It seems like he's been flirting with fucking.

986
00:49:38,960 --> 00:49:40,960
I thought it'd go to Real.

987
00:49:40,960 --> 00:49:43,240
Hey, hey, hey, hey.

988
00:49:43,240 --> 00:49:47,160
But yeah, that's pretty much Napoli, Verona for you.

989
00:49:47,160 --> 00:49:50,120
So Napoli, like we said, they looked fucking incredible.

990
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:53,200
They picked up Adam Unas looked amazing.

991
00:49:53,200 --> 00:49:56,560
Hey, man, hey, they picked up where they left off last year.

992
00:49:56,560 --> 00:49:59,920
We saw Olivera, come on, we got a nice little glimpse of him.

993
00:49:59,920 --> 00:50:03,280
Verona on the other hand, I mean, you can't judge them too much.

994
00:50:03,280 --> 00:50:08,480
They did manage to get two goals to this Napoli side that looked phenomenal.

995
00:50:08,480 --> 00:50:13,000
It's good to see Lasagna and Henry both scoring is a very good sign for their new front two.

996
00:50:13,000 --> 00:50:16,000
They obviously saw from the three, four to one to the three, five, two.

997
00:50:16,000 --> 00:50:20,360
So it's good that that seems like it's going to work.

998
00:50:20,360 --> 00:50:25,040
It was interesting to see Barack on the bench and that coming on later on in place of.

999
00:50:25,040 --> 00:50:26,360
He might be leaving Barack.

1000
00:50:26,360 --> 00:50:27,360
Really?

1001
00:50:27,360 --> 00:50:29,920
Yeah, yeah, that explains him not starting.

1002
00:50:29,920 --> 00:50:34,560
In fact, I believe there was something today about him leaving to have a news update for

1003
00:50:34,560 --> 00:50:35,560
you.

1004
00:50:35,560 --> 00:50:36,560
Let's see.

1005
00:50:36,560 --> 00:50:41,520
Fiorantino going after him after Barack.

1006
00:50:41,520 --> 00:50:43,560
Yeah, well, there is.

1007
00:50:43,560 --> 00:50:46,960
Yeah, there's West Ham as well who are targeting him.

1008
00:50:46,960 --> 00:50:47,960
So there's quite a few.

1009
00:50:47,960 --> 00:50:48,960
There's a lot of interest.

1010
00:50:48,960 --> 00:50:49,960
There's Fiorantino, there's West Ham.

1011
00:50:49,960 --> 00:50:53,240
Yeah, I mean, it'd be a shame to lose him.

1012
00:50:53,240 --> 00:50:54,240
Yeah, it would.

1013
00:50:54,240 --> 00:50:55,240
It would.

1014
00:50:55,240 --> 00:50:56,240
He's a super player.

1015
00:50:56,240 --> 00:51:01,560
He's just Verona after losing Zakani, after losing Caprari.

1016
00:51:01,560 --> 00:51:02,560
They don't want to.

1017
00:51:02,560 --> 00:51:03,560
After losing Semi O'ne.

1018
00:51:03,560 --> 00:51:04,560
Rahmani, Amrabat.

1019
00:51:04,560 --> 00:51:05,560
Rahmani, Amrabat.

1020
00:51:05,560 --> 00:51:07,040
They're going to lose him now.

1021
00:51:07,040 --> 00:51:08,320
They're going to lose Barack now.

1022
00:51:08,320 --> 00:51:09,320
Di Marco.

1023
00:51:09,320 --> 00:51:10,320
Ah, Di Marco.

1024
00:51:10,320 --> 00:51:11,320
Oh my God, man.

1025
00:51:11,320 --> 00:51:13,040
But they always seem to find adequate replacements.

1026
00:51:13,040 --> 00:51:14,040
They always manage.

1027
00:51:14,040 --> 00:51:16,880
They're a really well run team, in my opinion.

1028
00:51:16,880 --> 00:51:19,720
Yeah, I think that's enough to move on to the next game.

1029
00:51:19,720 --> 00:51:20,720
Lacio Bologna.

1030
00:51:20,720 --> 00:51:23,640
This was an entertaining one.

1031
00:51:23,640 --> 00:51:25,440
It really was.

1032
00:51:25,440 --> 00:51:28,400
The score was 2-1.

1033
00:51:28,400 --> 00:51:33,160
Fun fact about Lacio Bologna is that Lacio have won more home matches against Bologna

1034
00:51:33,160 --> 00:51:37,480
than any other side in Serie A. They've won 38 matches at home against Bologna.

1035
00:51:37,480 --> 00:51:43,440
But it did not prove to be so simple as in the sixth minute, the new goalkeeper for Lacio

1036
00:51:43,440 --> 00:51:49,880
Maximiano charged out confidently, slid and grabbed the ball to stop the striker from

1037
00:51:49,880 --> 00:51:51,920
of course being cleaned through.

1038
00:51:51,920 --> 00:51:54,040
And he was actually out of his box.

1039
00:51:54,040 --> 00:51:58,160
So he got a straight red card after a Varchek for a handball and he looked humiliated.

1040
00:51:58,160 --> 00:52:00,720
You know, of course, that's a nightmare situation over there.

1041
00:52:00,720 --> 00:52:04,000
Who would you have rather been, Maximiano or Radu?

1042
00:52:04,000 --> 00:52:06,000
I'd still say Maximiano.

1043
00:52:06,000 --> 00:52:09,800
The same man, Radu, which is the fact that happened twice, right?

1044
00:52:09,800 --> 00:52:10,800
Exactly.

1045
00:52:10,800 --> 00:52:14,800
Once it cost the team the league, which was the only game we played all season.

1046
00:52:14,800 --> 00:52:21,000
But anyway, yes, so let's go through the lineups first of all.

1047
00:52:21,000 --> 00:52:24,600
So we have Maximiano on goal for a solid six minutes for Lazio.

1048
00:52:24,600 --> 00:52:29,800
We have Lazari on the right and Marisic on the left with the centre-back pairing of Roman

1049
00:52:29,800 --> 00:52:31,400
Ioli and Patrick.

1050
00:52:31,400 --> 00:52:36,280
We have Basij, Kataldi and Bilingovic Savic as the midfield three, Zakangi out wide on

1051
00:52:36,280 --> 00:52:39,800
the left and Anderson on the right with a mobile up front.

1052
00:52:39,800 --> 00:52:45,520
While Bologna lined up with Skorupski on goal, Samauro, Medel and Likojanas at the back,

1053
00:52:45,520 --> 00:52:49,680
De Silva on the right and Cambiasso on the left, Dominguez and Schouten as the double

1054
00:52:49,680 --> 00:52:55,060
pivot with Soriano right in front of them, Aron out of it and the San Sonne up front.

1055
00:52:55,060 --> 00:52:58,320
So in the sixth minute, Maximiano got his red card.

1056
00:52:58,320 --> 00:53:04,200
Of course, he was replaced by Providel.

1057
00:53:04,200 --> 00:53:08,600
Who came on it to be honest, that's a good replacement, Providel.

1058
00:53:08,600 --> 00:53:12,920
This is the perfect opportunity for him to make himself indispensable.

1059
00:53:12,920 --> 00:53:18,300
In the 38th minute, Soriano was brought down by Zaccani in the box.

1060
00:53:18,300 --> 00:53:19,720
Of course, Arne converted the penalty.

1061
00:53:19,720 --> 00:53:21,560
Such a good penalty taker Aron out of it.

1062
00:53:21,560 --> 00:53:23,120
He's a really good player overall, man.

1063
00:53:23,120 --> 00:53:29,120
I feel like United fans were very quick to shoot down the option of them getting Aron

1064
00:53:29,120 --> 00:53:31,560
out of it when in reality he would really help them.

1065
00:53:31,560 --> 00:53:32,960
I mean, right now.

1066
00:53:32,960 --> 00:53:35,640
Right now, anything would help them.

1067
00:53:35,640 --> 00:53:36,640
For sure.

1068
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:37,640
Madonna.

1069
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:38,640
Someone said they're going after Rabiot.

1070
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:39,640
That's gonna help.

1071
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:40,640
They're no ball, huh?

1072
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:41,640
They're no ball.

1073
00:53:41,640 --> 00:53:48,040
In the 49th minute, Saumauro got his second yellow.

1074
00:53:48,040 --> 00:53:50,520
He got two yellows in 11 minutes.

1075
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:54,920
Saumauro, more like Saumoron, am I right?

1076
00:53:54,920 --> 00:53:57,760
Honestly man, you're a man up.

1077
00:53:57,760 --> 00:54:00,320
You're beating lots of 1-0.

1078
00:54:00,320 --> 00:54:02,920
And you're gonna go and get a fucking...

1079
00:54:02,920 --> 00:54:05,760
You're gonna go and get two yellows in the space of 11 minutes.

1080
00:54:05,760 --> 00:54:06,760
It's stupid, honestly.

1081
00:54:06,760 --> 00:54:07,760
It's very stupid.

1082
00:54:07,760 --> 00:54:10,760
And in fact, he blew the game wide open.

1083
00:54:10,760 --> 00:54:13,040
In the 68th minute, Dessalvesi scored a no-goal.

1084
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:16,040
He was under a lot of pressure across the game and it hit him and went in.

1085
00:54:16,040 --> 00:54:20,320
And then the 79th minute, Immobile got the winner when he was played through by Sergei

1086
00:54:20,320 --> 00:54:24,000
Milyankovitch Savic and his finish was just good enough to get past the goalkeeper.

1087
00:54:24,000 --> 00:54:25,800
The Lazio classic, Sergei to Immobile.

1088
00:54:25,800 --> 00:54:26,800
The captain!

1089
00:54:26,800 --> 00:54:29,800
The commentator forgot Immobile's name.

1090
00:54:29,800 --> 00:54:33,400
But that was before, on a chance earlier on.

1091
00:54:33,400 --> 00:54:38,960
But anyway, I feel like it's difficult to judge these teams from what we saw, especially

1092
00:54:38,960 --> 00:54:39,960
Lazio.

1093
00:54:39,960 --> 00:54:48,000
Their mentality is one thing we can highlight because they overcame quite a difficult situation

1094
00:54:48,000 --> 00:54:51,920
in the first few minutes of the game and still managed to get three points.

1095
00:54:51,920 --> 00:54:56,240
But it's always difficult to judge a team and how they play after playing with ten men

1096
00:54:56,240 --> 00:54:57,240
for the whole game, basically.

1097
00:54:57,240 --> 00:54:58,240
No, for sure.

1098
00:54:58,240 --> 00:55:01,600
And I think there's more positive than negative to take out of it for Lazio.

1099
00:55:01,600 --> 00:55:03,000
Sure, they didn't look flashy.

1100
00:55:03,000 --> 00:55:04,920
They didn't look like a Maurizio salary side.

1101
00:55:04,920 --> 00:55:05,920
You know what I mean?

1102
00:55:05,920 --> 00:55:10,680
At the end of the day, we always talk about teams under pressure getting the job done.

1103
00:55:10,680 --> 00:55:14,120
And you know, after six minutes, your new goalkeeper gets sent off.

1104
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:18,000
So you need to take a player out, you need to bring on Providel and then you need to

1105
00:55:18,000 --> 00:55:19,240
play against a Bologna side.

1106
00:55:19,240 --> 00:55:20,520
That looked good.

1107
00:55:20,520 --> 00:55:22,880
And Bologna are always, if they're anything, they're tough.

1108
00:55:22,880 --> 00:55:24,280
They're very tough.

1109
00:55:24,280 --> 00:55:30,600
So it was no easy task for Lazio, but they kept it up and they managed to fight back

1110
00:55:30,600 --> 00:55:31,600
and win 2-1.

1111
00:55:31,600 --> 00:55:32,800
It was not easy at all, man.

1112
00:55:32,800 --> 00:55:34,120
They forced it.

1113
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:35,480
For sure, for sure.

1114
00:55:35,480 --> 00:55:41,640
Great saves all around by Skorupski and Providel, of course.

1115
00:55:41,640 --> 00:55:45,240
To be honest, the only thing I have to highlight right now is that Musa Barrow, when he came

1116
00:55:45,240 --> 00:55:50,280
on, had a few moments to actually inspire the game and to affect the game, quite frankly.

1117
00:55:50,280 --> 00:55:54,640
But instead, he got his usual tunnel vision that he's had for three seasons now.

1118
00:55:54,640 --> 00:55:58,680
He just doesn't see the pass or he just makes the wrong decision, quite frankly.

1119
00:55:58,680 --> 00:56:02,200
And I'm starting to wonder right now, is it a tunnel vision thing or is it a…

1120
00:56:02,200 --> 00:56:03,760
Because he's selfish, stupid.

1121
00:56:03,760 --> 00:56:06,000
Honestly, what can you say about this?

1122
00:56:06,000 --> 00:56:07,560
I'd say selfish, aha.

1123
00:56:07,560 --> 00:56:11,360
I think he's used to being the best player.

1124
00:56:11,360 --> 00:56:18,240
Even with his national team, man, if they have a free kick from the halfway line, he's

1125
00:56:18,240 --> 00:56:19,240
shooting.

1126
00:56:19,240 --> 00:56:22,520
That's the type of team they are.

1127
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:26,840
Musa Barrow is incredibly frustrating.

1128
00:56:26,840 --> 00:56:29,520
To me, he's got no place in this team.

1129
00:56:29,520 --> 00:56:35,200
Firstly, they play a 3-4, 1-2, and to me, he's not a striker.

1130
00:56:35,200 --> 00:56:36,920
You think he's more of a left winger?

1131
00:56:36,920 --> 00:56:37,920
For sure.

1132
00:56:37,920 --> 00:56:38,920
For sure.

1133
00:56:38,920 --> 00:56:39,920
Yeah.

1134
00:56:39,920 --> 00:56:40,920
In fact, Mihailovic has said the same thing.

1135
00:56:40,920 --> 00:56:44,680
Mihailovic has said that Barrow doesn't inspire in front of goal.

1136
00:56:44,680 --> 00:56:46,440
No, he's a winger.

1137
00:56:46,440 --> 00:56:47,440
Put him out wide.

1138
00:56:47,440 --> 00:56:48,880
If he loses the ball, it goes out.

1139
00:56:48,880 --> 00:56:49,880
You know what I mean?

1140
00:56:49,880 --> 00:56:51,000
Win a throw in something.

1141
00:56:51,000 --> 00:56:52,000
You can cut inside.

1142
00:56:52,000 --> 00:56:53,680
You can play the ball in.

1143
00:56:53,680 --> 00:56:55,720
Go for a goal from distance, whatever.

1144
00:56:55,720 --> 00:56:57,640
Don't put him in front of goal.

1145
00:56:57,640 --> 00:57:02,480
Sure, he has less opportunities to pass in front of goal, which is probably a good thing

1146
00:57:02,480 --> 00:57:03,480
for him.

1147
00:57:03,480 --> 00:57:05,920
But no, to me, he doesn't fit the system.

1148
00:57:05,920 --> 00:57:09,800
And Tobiaso brings more bad than good right now for Bologna.

1149
00:57:09,800 --> 00:57:10,800
Cambiaso was decent.

1150
00:57:10,800 --> 00:57:15,640
Of course, on loan from Juventus, Lico Giannis was decent his first game after joining from

1151
00:57:15,640 --> 00:57:16,640
Caliari.

1152
00:57:16,640 --> 00:57:19,400
But that's pretty much it for the Bologna side.

1153
00:57:19,400 --> 00:57:21,920
For Lazio, Romanioli had his first start.

1154
00:57:21,920 --> 00:57:24,640
He was okay.

1155
00:57:24,640 --> 00:57:25,640
That's pretty much it.

1156
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:30,840
I think the classic Sergei was their best player.

1157
00:57:30,840 --> 00:57:33,320
I think Zachanie was good as well.

1158
00:57:33,320 --> 00:57:38,840
I know he gave away the penalty and that will impact his rating, but he had some opportunities

1159
00:57:38,840 --> 00:57:43,040
where he would turn a quarter of a chance into a chance.

1160
00:57:43,040 --> 00:57:44,040
The player can do that.

1161
00:57:44,040 --> 00:57:48,560
Like he cut inside and shot at a point and it was incredibly close.

1162
00:57:48,560 --> 00:57:49,560
Would have been some goal.

1163
00:57:49,560 --> 00:57:53,600
Would have been our goal of the week, probably, if he put it into the back of the net.

1164
00:57:53,600 --> 00:57:55,800
He was quite good as well.

1165
00:57:55,800 --> 00:58:01,620
Cataldi impressed me as well for center midfielder filling him for Lucas Leyva.

1166
00:58:01,620 --> 00:58:02,880
He seemed to do his job well.

1167
00:58:02,880 --> 00:58:03,880
He's done, all right?

1168
00:58:03,880 --> 00:58:04,880
Exactly.

1169
00:58:04,880 --> 00:58:05,880
Lazio fans love him.

1170
00:58:05,880 --> 00:58:06,880
He's been there from day one.

1171
00:58:06,880 --> 00:58:10,200
I thought Cancellari was fine when he came on.

1172
00:58:10,200 --> 00:58:12,160
Luis Alberto was fine when he came on.

1173
00:58:12,160 --> 00:58:17,920
This was a very, at the end of the day, a systematic performance for Lazio.

1174
00:58:17,920 --> 00:58:18,920
Players were coming in.

1175
00:58:18,920 --> 00:58:22,000
Look, we're down to 10 men, nine outfield players.

1176
00:58:22,000 --> 00:58:23,920
Do what the fuck you have to do.

1177
00:58:23,920 --> 00:58:25,640
Do what the fuck you have to do.

1178
00:58:25,640 --> 00:58:26,640
And that they did.

1179
00:58:26,640 --> 00:58:27,640
That they did.

1180
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:30,840
Shall we move on to the next game?

1181
00:58:30,840 --> 00:58:33,320
Let's move on to Salernetana Roma.

1182
00:58:33,320 --> 00:58:35,920
Let's move on to the other side of Rome.

1183
00:58:35,920 --> 00:58:37,960
The classic transition.

1184
00:58:37,960 --> 00:58:38,960
Here we go.

1185
00:58:38,960 --> 00:58:46,080
It's Davide Nicolas Salernetana losing 1-0 at home to Jose Mourinho's New Look Roma side.

1186
00:58:46,080 --> 00:58:51,960
So this New Look Roma side lined up with Patricio Ngole, who else, with a back three of Mancini,

1187
00:58:51,960 --> 00:58:57,680
Smalling and de Bagnès, flanked by Karsdorp and Spinazzola.

1188
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:02,720
The midfield two were Pellegrini and Cristante, with Deballa and Zaniolo just ahead of them,

1189
00:59:02,720 --> 00:59:06,680
and Tammy Abraham playing in that lone striker role.

1190
00:59:06,680 --> 00:59:12,360
For Salernetana it was Sepe Ngole with a back three of Fazio, Gjomber and Bron, supported

1191
00:59:12,360 --> 00:59:16,120
by Mazocchi and Candreva as the wing backs.

1192
00:59:16,120 --> 00:59:21,920
Vilena Koulibaly and Kastanos formed the midfield three, with Bonazzoli and Botheim playing

1193
00:59:21,920 --> 00:59:23,200
up front.

1194
00:59:23,200 --> 00:59:27,840
The only goal came in the 33rd minute, it was a shot from outside the area by Cristante

1195
00:59:27,840 --> 00:59:33,400
that took a slight deflection of Koulibaly, enough to throw Sepe off and fly into the

1196
00:59:33,400 --> 00:59:34,640
bottom corner.

1197
00:59:34,640 --> 00:59:38,440
So the New Look Roma, how did they look to you?

1198
00:59:38,440 --> 00:59:42,920
So I thought they looked good overall, and I don't think the 1-0 scoreline does them

1199
00:59:42,920 --> 00:59:50,480
justice because I do believe that they played much better than their opponent.

1200
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:56,120
I liked the way Zaniolo was deployed, I liked the way that they utilized him, especially

1201
00:59:56,120 --> 01:00:00,920
like they created space for him, he was charging down the middle of the pitch and down the

1202
01:00:00,920 --> 01:00:01,920
left.

1203
01:00:01,920 --> 01:00:06,280
He was playing very well, Deballa as well, they were wasteful though, it has to be said.

1204
01:00:06,280 --> 01:00:10,280
Deballa and Zaniolo particularly very very wasteful.

1205
01:00:10,280 --> 01:00:14,480
And in fact it took out Brian Cristante to get them over the line, Karsdorp were close

1206
01:00:14,480 --> 01:00:15,480
at the point, he had the crossbar.

1207
01:00:15,480 --> 01:00:19,920
A deflected Brian Cristante goal, you know what I mean?

1208
01:00:19,920 --> 01:00:27,160
But that's it, clean sheet on your first match and the win, that was pretty good for them.

1209
01:00:27,160 --> 01:00:33,480
So I thought that they looked much more fluid than they did last year, it didn't seem like

1210
01:00:33,480 --> 01:00:38,160
they were playing for those one-off situations, they weren't playing for the corners, they

1211
01:00:38,160 --> 01:00:42,600
weren't playing for the free-kicks, they were switching play nicely, they were overlapping,

1212
01:00:42,600 --> 01:00:47,680
they were running down the wing, you saw a lot of good support down the middle by Pellegrini,

1213
01:00:47,680 --> 01:00:52,680
Deballa always available, Zaniolo carrying the ball forward, they were a handful.

1214
01:00:52,680 --> 01:00:56,640
They are a handful, even Spanazzo on the left.

1215
01:00:56,640 --> 01:01:01,920
However, that being said, it looks like Zaniolo is set to stay in the capital, it looks like

1216
01:01:01,920 --> 01:01:06,640
he's eager, Mourinho wants him, the fans want him and it seems like he still wants to write

1217
01:01:06,640 --> 01:01:09,640
his story with Roma.

1218
01:01:09,640 --> 01:01:14,120
He was really good, they were playing off him more than they were playing off Deballa,

1219
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:20,800
he looked fucking strong, he looked fit, he looked fast, I hope he can stay fit, but Jesus

1220
01:01:20,800 --> 01:01:24,680
Christ, his finishing needs weren't.

1221
01:01:24,680 --> 01:01:29,200
Because three times he was clean through on goal and he hit the target, he hit the target

1222
01:01:29,200 --> 01:01:35,120
once, great save by Serpe, was kind of straight to him from a slightly tight angle, but was

1223
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:40,120
clean through on goal three times, Deballa had two chances, hit the post once and was

1224
01:01:40,120 --> 01:01:42,640
off target the other time.

1225
01:01:42,640 --> 01:01:48,000
A lot of work needs to be done in those scenarios, obviously cold feet, they're just getting

1226
01:01:48,000 --> 01:01:53,440
back, they'll brush up on their finishing, you know what I mean?

1227
01:01:53,440 --> 01:01:58,200
What pisses me off is Zaniolo could have found Tammy on a number of occasions, Deballa could

1228
01:01:58,200 --> 01:02:02,880
have as well, you know what I mean, but they want to hit the ground running, so they didn't.

1229
01:02:02,880 --> 01:02:08,520
There's an element of selfishness to it, but I'm sure once they gel, they'll start playing

1230
01:02:08,520 --> 01:02:11,200
for each other, there's a Mourinho team at the end of the day, I doubt they'll have any

1231
01:02:11,200 --> 01:02:12,200
selfishness.

1232
01:02:12,200 --> 01:02:18,120
Yeah, well they looked energetic, they looked optimistic like we said, but they just failed

1233
01:02:18,120 --> 01:02:22,560
the final product.

1234
01:02:22,560 --> 01:02:28,000
If there's one area, well if there's a second area of criticism for Roma, seems as though

1235
01:02:28,000 --> 01:02:30,680
there's a slight gap from the midfield too to the defence.

1236
01:02:30,680 --> 01:02:35,960
Totally agree man, especially when Salernitano are charging towards them, there were moments

1237
01:02:35,960 --> 01:02:40,720
where there was no midfield, it's just the midfielder of Salernitano charging against

1238
01:02:40,720 --> 01:02:44,000
the back line of Roma, and that happened on multiple occasions.

1239
01:02:44,000 --> 01:02:48,440
You know what that is bro, in my opinion, I think at least from just watching the game

1240
01:02:48,440 --> 01:02:54,800
and looking at the starting XI, Pellegrini in that holding midfield role, in that box-to-box

1241
01:02:54,800 --> 01:02:55,800
role.

1242
01:02:55,800 --> 01:02:58,680
It's the fact that Cristante isn't this crusher.

1243
01:02:58,680 --> 01:03:05,440
No, he's not, he's kind of a hybrid, he's a jack of all trades, master of none kind

1244
01:03:05,440 --> 01:03:10,520
of player, he tackles well, he's very strong, way stronger than the average player, but

1245
01:03:10,520 --> 01:03:14,240
when it comes to his tackling and winning the ball back, you can't compare him to for

1246
01:03:14,240 --> 01:03:20,280
example Benassar or Lobotka, they're the guys who fucking, or Torreira, they fucking crush

1247
01:03:20,280 --> 01:03:22,680
it, Torreira would have been a great move for Roma.

1248
01:03:22,680 --> 01:03:29,760
100%. I think Cristante is okay everywhere, but he's probably better at crushing than

1249
01:03:29,760 --> 01:03:32,080
he is anything else.

1250
01:03:32,080 --> 01:03:38,360
I mean I see him as a box-to-box player, almost nothing at Salernitano.

1251
01:03:38,360 --> 01:03:46,040
I see him closer to a defensive midfielder, Cristante, but the fact of the matter is he's

1252
01:03:46,040 --> 01:03:52,760
got Pellegrini to his side, now Pellegrini in an ideal world would be filling in either

1253
01:03:52,760 --> 01:03:55,320
for De Ball or Zaniolo.

1254
01:03:55,320 --> 01:04:01,000
He's an offensive player, we've seen him play in the centre midfield role before, but you

1255
01:04:01,000 --> 01:04:07,040
get your best player in Pellegrini and you put him in a position that weakens him and

1256
01:04:07,040 --> 01:04:12,000
makes him a worse player and I don't think that's the move.

1257
01:04:12,000 --> 01:04:14,480
Now you tell me what are you going to do, you're going to bench Zaniolo, you're going

1258
01:04:14,480 --> 01:04:18,400
to bench De Ball, you're going to bench Pellegrini, I don't know man, I'm not the manager of Roma,

1259
01:04:18,400 --> 01:04:24,240
you know what I mean, I don't make these decisions, but it just seems like Pellegrini is going

1260
01:04:24,240 --> 01:04:31,720
to want to advance, it just seems like Cristante can't do it by himself, he's got three behind

1261
01:04:31,720 --> 01:04:36,920
him, what's he going to do, fucking turn into a super stretch man and stop everyone, maybe

1262
01:04:36,920 --> 01:04:40,920
hasn't got the legs on him to track back that much either, you know what I mean?

1263
01:04:40,920 --> 01:04:43,520
It seems like they will see more of Matish.

1264
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:56,880
I think typically Mourinho works in similar formations to this, two holding midfielders,

1265
01:04:56,880 --> 01:05:07,120
what I predicted was to start Matish along with Wijnaldum, now I know Wijnaldum isn't

1266
01:05:07,120 --> 01:05:09,920
a defensive midfielder but he can be utilised as well.

1267
01:05:09,920 --> 01:05:12,520
He's a box-to-box midfielder with goal prowess.

1268
01:05:12,520 --> 01:05:16,920
Exactly, as long as it's not an attacking midfielder like Pellegrini, Pellegrini should

1269
01:05:16,920 --> 01:05:23,280
start 100% but it will need to be in place for De Ball or Zaniolo, simple as that.

1270
01:05:23,280 --> 01:05:27,560
And you know what, the season is long, there are many competitions they're going to be

1271
01:05:27,560 --> 01:05:31,040
competing in, so at the end of the day we'll be seeing these guys and there'll be injuries,

1272
01:05:31,040 --> 01:05:36,080
you know these guys are all injury prone, Zaniolo, De Ball, Zaniolo and De Ball, they're

1273
01:05:36,080 --> 01:05:41,280
very injury prone, so we will be seeing a lot of Wijnaldum, probably Aisharawi as well.

1274
01:05:41,280 --> 01:05:48,120
And if I see them directly swap a Fena Jan for them when they could move Pellegrini up

1275
01:05:48,120 --> 01:05:53,520
there and start a holding midfielder alongside Cristante or alongside Matish, alongside whoever,

1276
01:05:53,520 --> 01:05:58,620
Wijnaldum, it will piss me off because what we're seeing here is a slight misbalance

1277
01:05:58,620 --> 01:06:03,760
in the team that sure didn't cause problems against Salernitana but it's Salernitana.

1278
01:06:03,760 --> 01:06:09,820
You do that against Milan, that against Inter, against Juve, you can't very much get exposed.

1279
01:06:09,820 --> 01:06:15,560
But that being said, Roma do look like a much improved side, they look very fluid in their

1280
01:06:15,560 --> 01:06:18,920
play and they look way more optimistic than they did last year.

1281
01:06:18,920 --> 01:06:19,920
That's true.

1282
01:06:19,920 --> 01:06:23,920
You look at Salernitana on the other hand, I mean, no on the other hand, they were fine,

1283
01:06:23,920 --> 01:06:26,040
they were very organized.

1284
01:06:26,040 --> 01:06:29,320
I was particularly impressed by Matsoki and of course Kandreva.

1285
01:06:29,320 --> 01:06:36,920
At a point, I think it was Kastanos who had the ball and Kandreva was screaming for it

1286
01:06:36,920 --> 01:06:40,720
on the right and he didn't play it to him and you can see Kandreva having a word with

1287
01:06:40,720 --> 01:06:41,720
him later on.

1288
01:06:41,720 --> 01:06:47,640
It seems like Kastanos wasn't aware of how fucking good Kandreva is basically because

1289
01:06:47,640 --> 01:06:52,600
in fact, after that moment, they kept playing the ball to him and you give Kandreva time,

1290
01:06:52,600 --> 01:06:54,160
he will play the perfect ball.

1291
01:06:54,160 --> 01:07:01,040
You get Salernitana, you plug in Kandreva, play the fucking balls to Kandreva no matter

1292
01:07:01,040 --> 01:07:05,440
what and you put Bonazzoli on the other side on the left and just cross them into him as

1293
01:07:05,440 --> 01:07:07,040
often as you can.

1294
01:07:07,040 --> 01:07:09,800
And they have a decent team to be honest with you.

1295
01:07:09,800 --> 01:07:15,480
I was going to say, so on paper, I wouldn't look at their team and say it's anything to

1296
01:07:15,480 --> 01:07:16,480
write home about.

1297
01:07:16,480 --> 01:07:22,920
Sure they have certain labels like Bron is good, Sep is good, Kulibali is good, Bonazzoli

1298
01:07:22,920 --> 01:07:25,240
is very good, Kandreva is very good.

1299
01:07:25,240 --> 01:07:26,240
That's what there is.

1300
01:07:26,240 --> 01:07:33,640
And Ribery has a number seven shave into his head.

1301
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:40,440
But they seem like the same Salernitana towards the end of last season.

1302
01:07:40,440 --> 01:07:42,240
They kept that great up.

1303
01:07:42,240 --> 01:07:44,360
They kept that energy, you know what I mean?

1304
01:07:44,360 --> 01:07:45,360
For now.

1305
01:07:45,360 --> 01:07:46,360
Exactly.

1306
01:07:46,360 --> 01:07:47,360
Match day one.

1307
01:07:47,360 --> 01:07:55,640
If they kept it from last season through preseason and on to this year, I don't know.

1308
01:07:55,640 --> 01:08:01,080
The relegation battle is going to be as exciting as the Scudetto winner battle.

1309
01:08:01,080 --> 01:08:07,640
For sure, especially since some surprise teams, two newly promoted teams managed to stay up.

1310
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:12,040
There is in inverted commas less quality at the bottom.

1311
01:08:12,040 --> 01:08:16,040
And then you have teams like Roma upgrading at the top end.

1312
01:08:16,040 --> 01:08:19,080
It's just going to be a juicy Lucy from both ends.

1313
01:08:19,080 --> 01:08:20,080
It really is.

1314
01:08:20,080 --> 01:08:21,080
I can't wait.

1315
01:08:21,080 --> 01:08:22,080
I can't wait.

1316
01:08:22,080 --> 01:08:27,760
But yeah, I think that's all I've got to say about Roma Salernitana.

1317
01:08:27,760 --> 01:08:30,040
I think I'm happy to move on.

1318
01:08:30,040 --> 01:08:31,640
Plus three for Mourinho's men.

1319
01:08:31,640 --> 01:08:33,800
Of course, he'll gladly take that.

1320
01:08:33,800 --> 01:08:35,600
Roma fans will gladly take that.

1321
01:08:35,600 --> 01:08:38,960
Three points are all that matter in the first match of the season.

1322
01:08:38,960 --> 01:08:44,000
The next game is Fiorentina 3-2 Cremoneze.

1323
01:08:44,000 --> 01:08:46,760
Fiorentina are unbeaten against Cremoneze in Serie A.

1324
01:08:46,760 --> 01:08:51,000
They've won six now and they've drawn six.

1325
01:08:51,000 --> 01:08:55,240
Their last game was in 1996, bro, and it was a 0-0 draw.

1326
01:08:55,240 --> 01:08:57,320
Mildino was managing Fiorentina back then.

1327
01:08:57,320 --> 01:08:58,320
1996.

1328
01:08:58,320 --> 01:08:59,600
I mean, no way.

1329
01:08:59,600 --> 01:09:00,600
Claudio Ranieri.

1330
01:09:00,600 --> 01:09:03,600
They came to love against Cremoneze.

1331
01:09:03,600 --> 01:09:05,720
Jesus, bro, retire.

1332
01:09:05,720 --> 01:09:06,720
You've made your money.

1333
01:09:06,720 --> 01:09:07,720
You're still good.

1334
01:09:07,720 --> 01:09:08,720
Just relax.

1335
01:09:08,720 --> 01:09:09,720
Go to the beach.

1336
01:09:09,720 --> 01:09:10,720
Put your feet up, bello.

1337
01:09:10,720 --> 01:09:16,480
So Fiorentina had Gollini in goal.

1338
01:09:16,480 --> 01:09:18,520
They had Birogni as left back.

1339
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:19,520
Gollini in goal.

1340
01:09:19,520 --> 01:09:20,520
Gollini in goal.

1341
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:25,360
They had, okay, so Gollini in goal, Birogni on the left, Benassi on the right as right

1342
01:09:25,360 --> 01:09:26,360
back.

1343
01:09:26,360 --> 01:09:27,360
Very weird.

1344
01:09:27,360 --> 01:09:30,200
Gavrilović and Martinez Quarta as the center backs.

1345
01:09:30,200 --> 01:09:33,320
Malekh, Amrabat and Bonaventura as the midfield three.

1346
01:09:33,320 --> 01:09:34,720
Sotil on the left.

1347
01:09:34,720 --> 01:09:37,440
Kwame on the right and Jovilj up front.

1348
01:09:37,440 --> 01:09:38,800
Now please forgive me.

1349
01:09:38,800 --> 01:09:40,880
I forgot that Kwame existed.

1350
01:09:40,880 --> 01:09:44,000
Kwame had a fantastic season with Genoa.

1351
01:09:44,000 --> 01:09:45,000
He joined Fiorentina.

1352
01:09:45,000 --> 01:09:46,000
He got injured.

1353
01:09:46,000 --> 01:09:47,000
Oh.

1354
01:09:47,000 --> 01:09:48,000
And we didn't see him at all.

1355
01:09:48,000 --> 01:09:49,760
We saw a lot of Saponara, a lot of Sotil.

1356
01:09:49,760 --> 01:09:50,760
We saw a lot of Gonzales.

1357
01:09:50,760 --> 01:09:51,760
All those guys.

1358
01:09:51,760 --> 01:09:52,760
Ikone.

1359
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:53,760
We saw all those guys.

1360
01:09:53,760 --> 01:09:54,760
I forgot about Kwame.

1361
01:09:54,760 --> 01:09:58,600
Kwame usually plays as a striker, but I must tell you out wide today he impressed me.

1362
01:09:58,600 --> 01:10:00,600
We'll get to that very soon.

1363
01:10:00,600 --> 01:10:02,720
Man, Fiorentina could like spare a winger.

1364
01:10:02,720 --> 01:10:04,720
They could give us a winger for free.

1365
01:10:04,720 --> 01:10:07,720
They have so many wingers, honestly.

1366
01:10:07,720 --> 01:10:11,040
But anyway, Cremoneza had Raadou N'Gola unfortunately for them.

1367
01:10:11,040 --> 01:10:14,360
They had Bianchetti, Kirikes and Vasquez.

1368
01:10:14,360 --> 01:10:18,720
At the back of Vasquez of course is the former Genoa man and Kirikes is the former Sosuolo

1369
01:10:18,720 --> 01:10:19,720
man.

1370
01:10:19,720 --> 01:10:21,760
They had Gilione out wide who played a very good game.

1371
01:10:21,760 --> 01:10:26,840
They had Ser Nicola on the left, Escalante and Pickel as the midfield double pivot.

1372
01:10:26,840 --> 01:10:28,600
Pickel, hilarious name.

1373
01:10:28,600 --> 01:10:33,680
They had Zanimakia as the track-warter and Okereke and Dezers up front.

1374
01:10:33,680 --> 01:10:38,880
One thing to notice about Dezers is he has the beautiful combination of light eyes and

1375
01:10:38,880 --> 01:10:39,880
the dark skin.

1376
01:10:39,880 --> 01:10:40,880
Now.

1377
01:10:40,880 --> 01:10:43,000
A gorgeous man can't chip the ball though.

1378
01:10:43,000 --> 01:10:44,000
Yes.

1379
01:10:44,000 --> 01:10:45,640
Gorgeous man struggles to play football.

1380
01:10:45,640 --> 01:10:51,560
In the 16th minute Bonaventura scored thanks to a Kwame masterclass.

1381
01:10:51,560 --> 01:10:57,160
Of course he looked like kind of shades of Leao over there but a right-sided Leao.

1382
01:10:57,160 --> 01:10:59,040
Honestly, I hate to cause my own.

1383
01:10:59,040 --> 01:11:00,480
It was an amazing assist.

1384
01:11:00,480 --> 01:11:04,320
He plays the ball directly to Bonaventura who finishes perfectly with his left showing

1385
01:11:04,320 --> 01:11:06,160
off his experience over there.

1386
01:11:06,160 --> 01:11:07,160
What a goal.

1387
01:11:07,160 --> 01:11:13,160
In the 19th minute, only a few moments later, Okereke actually caused an upset.

1388
01:11:13,160 --> 01:11:16,240
He scored a lovely header thanks to a Gileon assist.

1389
01:11:16,240 --> 01:11:20,160
He did his usual celebration and he puts two fingers under his chin and wiggles them.

1390
01:11:20,160 --> 01:11:22,560
I'm not sure what he's trying to do over there.

1391
01:11:22,560 --> 01:11:25,160
Could be maybe like a rooster.

1392
01:11:25,160 --> 01:11:26,160
I don't know.

1393
01:11:26,160 --> 01:11:28,640
I think it's more like the Prince of Persia.

1394
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:29,640
I don't know what it is.

1395
01:11:29,640 --> 01:11:30,640
I have no idea.

1396
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:31,640
His face has legs.

1397
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:32,640
But it's cool.

1398
01:11:32,640 --> 01:11:33,640
I like what he does with his posture when he does it.

1399
01:11:33,640 --> 01:11:36,440
He slouches forward, he does a little hop and the fingers are...

1400
01:11:36,440 --> 01:11:38,520
He scored midweek as well.

1401
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:39,520
He did.

1402
01:11:39,520 --> 01:11:40,520
He's played.

1403
01:11:40,520 --> 01:11:41,520
In the Coppa.

1404
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:42,520
He's doing well for it.

1405
01:11:42,520 --> 01:11:43,520
He's got a lot of experience for him.

1406
01:11:43,520 --> 01:11:44,520
Congratulations.

1407
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:47,360
Well done Okereke, well done Gileon.

1408
01:11:47,360 --> 01:11:52,240
In the 34th minute, Jovic of course scored the debut goal.

1409
01:11:52,240 --> 01:11:54,360
Any striker works for Italiano quite frankly.

1410
01:11:54,360 --> 01:11:56,960
How many debut goals were there this time?

1411
01:11:56,960 --> 01:11:57,960
Madonna, Madonna.

1412
01:11:57,960 --> 01:11:58,960
What a start.

1413
01:11:58,960 --> 01:11:59,960
What a start.

1414
01:11:59,960 --> 01:12:00,960
What a way to start.

1415
01:12:00,960 --> 01:12:01,960
Where was that?

1416
01:12:01,960 --> 01:12:02,960
Man, oh.

1417
01:12:02,960 --> 01:12:07,080
Jovic got the ball after Sotil played it to him.

1418
01:12:07,080 --> 01:12:08,640
He spun and he shot.

1419
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:13,280
Too much time was allowed to him and he did eventually punish Cremones.

1420
01:12:13,280 --> 01:12:20,440
In the 44th minute things escalated very quickly and Gonzalo Escalante got a red card for a

1421
01:12:20,440 --> 01:12:22,320
two footed lunge over there.

1422
01:12:22,320 --> 01:12:23,400
It's straight red.

1423
01:12:23,400 --> 01:12:24,800
No fucking questions asked.

1424
01:12:24,800 --> 01:12:26,560
Bro, he's a dum dum.

1425
01:12:26,560 --> 01:12:29,080
Like the way that he left...

1426
01:12:29,080 --> 01:12:34,120
If you leave the ground that way when you're making a slight tackle, you're off.

1427
01:12:34,120 --> 01:12:36,280
Bro, come on man.

1428
01:12:36,280 --> 01:12:39,360
He knew he was in trouble as well.

1429
01:12:39,360 --> 01:12:44,480
But yeah, he was off and then in the 68th minute, 10 men in Cremones managed to find

1430
01:12:44,480 --> 01:12:45,480
an equalizer.

1431
01:12:45,480 --> 01:12:50,240
It was a corner, Gollini palmed the ball away, Bianchetti came out of nowhere and prodded

1432
01:12:50,240 --> 01:12:51,240
it home.

1433
01:12:51,240 --> 01:12:53,240
It was until the 95th minute.

1434
01:12:53,240 --> 01:12:55,800
I was already like shit, we lost our first bet.

1435
01:12:55,800 --> 01:12:57,280
Man, we think we're dumb.

1436
01:12:57,280 --> 01:13:01,000
We don't know what we're talking about.

1437
01:13:01,000 --> 01:13:02,520
Four outright wins in match day one.

1438
01:13:02,520 --> 01:13:04,440
What are you, amateurs?

1439
01:13:04,440 --> 01:13:06,240
New to this guys, new to this.

1440
01:13:06,240 --> 01:13:09,160
We actually knew this was going to happen.

1441
01:13:09,160 --> 01:13:10,160
Exactly.

1442
01:13:10,160 --> 01:13:17,760
So in the 95th minute, Zurkowski passes the ball to Mandragora who crosses it in.

1443
01:13:17,760 --> 01:13:22,720
Radu catches the ball and just keeps walking back into his own net.

1444
01:13:22,720 --> 01:13:23,880
What a nightmare.

1445
01:13:23,880 --> 01:13:31,280
I slowed it down because I like giving goalkeepers benefit of the doubt because goalkeeper's

1446
01:13:31,280 --> 01:13:33,120
mental health is very important.

1447
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:35,680
You heard that, Carius?

1448
01:13:35,680 --> 01:13:36,680
Miskin.

1449
01:13:36,680 --> 01:13:42,400
So what happened was when he grabbed the ball, so he was moving backwards obviously

1450
01:13:42,400 --> 01:13:47,000
in that situation as a goalkeeper you parry, no matter what you fucking fist it away.

1451
01:13:47,000 --> 01:13:48,840
They've got good fucking forearms on them.

1452
01:13:48,840 --> 01:13:50,320
We could have fisted away.

1453
01:13:50,320 --> 01:13:51,320
Yes.

1454
01:13:51,320 --> 01:13:57,720
But while he was moving back, he tucked his legs up, his back leg, his back foot kind

1455
01:13:57,720 --> 01:14:02,520
of got stuck into the net man and he lost his balance and he fell backwards.

1456
01:14:02,520 --> 01:14:03,520
That's what I saw.

1457
01:14:03,520 --> 01:14:06,440
I just saw him grab the ball and walk into his own net.

1458
01:14:06,440 --> 01:14:07,440
No, but he was moving.

1459
01:14:07,440 --> 01:14:09,960
It's almost like he landed badly.

1460
01:14:09,960 --> 01:14:17,200
I don't know if his foot got caught whilst he was falling or if it's what caused the

1461
01:14:17,200 --> 01:14:18,200
fall.

1462
01:14:18,200 --> 01:14:23,360
Thing is the only angle that it got then was zoomed into his legs and there definitely

1463
01:14:23,360 --> 01:14:29,520
is contact between his shoes and the net and there's an entanglement pretty much.

1464
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:32,400
But nonetheless, you parry it in that situation.

1465
01:14:32,400 --> 01:14:41,000
I feel like Radu, you know, was learned to be a goalkeeper when he was 12 years old and

1466
01:14:41,000 --> 01:14:45,280
his first experiences were in Serie A on the biggest of stages.

1467
01:14:45,280 --> 01:14:49,100
Because why do you need to learn from these scenarios?

1468
01:14:49,100 --> 01:14:50,960
You couldn't have learned that in training.

1469
01:14:50,960 --> 01:14:53,360
You've never made that mistake in training.

1470
01:14:53,360 --> 01:14:56,280
You've never played the ball out the back in training.

1471
01:14:56,280 --> 01:14:59,440
You've never grabbed a looping ball in training.

1472
01:14:59,440 --> 01:15:03,520
And you have to remember that for a goalkeeper Radu was actually quite young.

1473
01:15:03,520 --> 01:15:06,920
For a goalkeeper he's quite young.

1474
01:15:06,920 --> 01:15:08,480
He's 25 years old.

1475
01:15:08,480 --> 01:15:10,600
For a keeper again, that's young.

1476
01:15:10,600 --> 01:15:15,200
At the end of the day, bro, a 25 year old goalkeeper is considered young because they

1477
01:15:15,200 --> 01:15:17,760
retire at fucking 45.

1478
01:15:17,760 --> 01:15:22,900
And it's a role that requires, it's a very high pressure role.

1479
01:15:22,900 --> 01:15:26,440
At the end of the day, he makes a mistake, it's a goal.

1480
01:15:26,440 --> 01:15:28,720
And he makes a few, man.

1481
01:15:28,720 --> 01:15:29,720
He does, unfortunately.

1482
01:15:29,720 --> 01:15:33,920
Well, he's made two and they were on a big stage, both of them.

1483
01:15:33,920 --> 01:15:35,320
Yeah, good game, man.

1484
01:15:35,320 --> 01:15:36,320
He did have a very good game.

1485
01:15:36,320 --> 01:15:37,760
I'm just looking at it again, bro.

1486
01:15:37,760 --> 01:15:43,580
It seems like he, so the ball comes in over the top.

1487
01:15:43,580 --> 01:15:49,480
He takes a few steps back and he looks at it and it seems to be falling into the back

1488
01:15:49,480 --> 01:15:50,480
of the net.

1489
01:15:50,480 --> 01:15:51,480
He's looking at it.

1490
01:15:51,480 --> 01:15:52,720
He jumps up to catch it.

1491
01:15:52,720 --> 01:15:54,760
In reality, he should have just tipped it over the bar at this point.

1492
01:15:54,760 --> 01:15:57,000
He's probably thinking to himself, I don't want to give away a corner.

1493
01:15:57,000 --> 01:15:58,120
It's the last moment of the game.

1494
01:15:58,120 --> 01:15:59,400
I don't want him to have a corner.

1495
01:15:59,400 --> 01:16:02,120
This is where he should have probably just tipped it over the bar.

1496
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:04,640
He falls into the back of the net.

1497
01:16:04,640 --> 01:16:08,760
He's holding the ball over the line and that's when he just, of course, he keeps falling

1498
01:16:08,760 --> 01:16:09,760
back.

1499
01:16:09,760 --> 01:16:10,760
That's probably when there was the entanglement.

1500
01:16:10,760 --> 01:16:11,760
Yeah.

1501
01:16:11,760 --> 01:16:15,480
I think the entanglement happened more like as he was falling, to be honest with you.

1502
01:16:15,480 --> 01:16:18,800
But yeah, it could be he got entangled.

1503
01:16:18,800 --> 01:16:21,200
But yeah, I felt so bad when we started crying again.

1504
01:16:21,200 --> 01:16:23,000
Like, don't, oh my God.

1505
01:16:23,000 --> 01:16:24,000
I felt so bad.

1506
01:16:24,000 --> 01:16:25,000
What's he supposed to do, man?

1507
01:16:25,000 --> 01:16:26,000
There's nothing to do.

1508
01:16:26,000 --> 01:16:28,000
You break down in those situations, man.

1509
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:35,200
Fiorantina, bro, they looked solid, but they're still not quite street smart enough.

1510
01:16:35,200 --> 01:16:38,000
Like they could have easily lost two points over here.

1511
01:16:38,000 --> 01:16:43,040
I was slightly weirded out by the starting 11, man.

1512
01:16:43,040 --> 01:16:48,640
So firstly, just totally, they didn't replace Torreira.

1513
01:16:48,640 --> 01:16:51,680
They didn't really replace Torreira, no?

1514
01:16:51,680 --> 01:16:53,200
I mean, no.

1515
01:16:53,200 --> 01:16:55,560
I mean, is Mandragora replaced?

1516
01:16:55,560 --> 01:16:56,560
Yes, sorry.

1517
01:16:56,560 --> 01:16:57,560
Of course.

1518
01:16:57,560 --> 01:16:58,560
But he didn't start.

1519
01:16:58,560 --> 01:16:59,560
He didn't start.

1520
01:16:59,560 --> 01:17:00,560
It was Bonaventura.

1521
01:17:00,560 --> 01:17:04,720
But he scored the winner, bro, according to every single.

1522
01:17:04,720 --> 01:17:06,440
But I don't like Male personally.

1523
01:17:06,440 --> 01:17:07,440
You don't like Male?

1524
01:17:07,440 --> 01:17:09,440
I don't really like Male.

1525
01:17:09,440 --> 01:17:15,080
And I was weirded out by Sotil starting and by Kwame starting and they both got assists,

1526
01:17:15,080 --> 01:17:17,080
so they probably think I'm weird.

1527
01:17:17,080 --> 01:17:21,400
I was weirded out by Male starting and I was weirded out by Benassi starting.

1528
01:17:21,400 --> 01:17:23,440
So Benassi, I get it.

1529
01:17:23,440 --> 01:17:25,360
I was even, I don't know what the hell he was doing there.

1530
01:17:25,360 --> 01:17:28,120
I'll write back, but once again, a versatile player, why not?

1531
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:33,960
Male has been kind of flirting with the starting 11 for a while now, coming on for the last

1532
01:17:33,960 --> 01:17:34,960
few moments of the game.

1533
01:17:34,960 --> 01:17:37,600
You know, two season ago, we'd seen him being introduced in the last five minutes of the

1534
01:17:37,600 --> 01:17:38,600
game.

1535
01:17:38,600 --> 01:17:39,880
Like last season, he was a bit more involved.

1536
01:17:39,880 --> 01:17:45,920
I think he's a very skillful player, has potential to him.

1537
01:17:45,920 --> 01:17:47,840
On the wings, they have versatility.

1538
01:17:47,840 --> 01:17:50,360
I was surprised we didn't get to see much of Nico Gonzalez.

1539
01:17:50,360 --> 01:17:52,920
We didn't get to see any of Nico Gonzalez.

1540
01:17:52,920 --> 01:17:53,920
No, he came on.

1541
01:17:53,920 --> 01:17:54,920
Did he come on?

1542
01:17:54,920 --> 01:17:55,920
I think he was dangerous.

1543
01:17:55,920 --> 01:17:56,920
He did.

1544
01:17:56,920 --> 01:17:57,920
He did.

1545
01:17:57,920 --> 01:17:59,200
Towards the end of the game for sure.

1546
01:17:59,200 --> 01:18:00,200
Yeah, no, it was like 80.

1547
01:18:00,200 --> 01:18:01,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1548
01:18:01,200 --> 01:18:02,200
It was like 80.

1549
01:18:02,200 --> 01:18:03,200
That I was surprised by.

1550
01:18:03,200 --> 01:18:05,200
I have it in front of me.

1551
01:18:05,200 --> 01:18:06,200
He came on 86.

1552
01:18:06,200 --> 01:18:07,200
There we go, man.

1553
01:18:07,200 --> 01:18:13,000
So late on and Sapanara came on earlier than him.

1554
01:18:13,000 --> 01:18:17,480
It was weird, but I guess at this point in the season, you play who's the fittest.

1555
01:18:17,480 --> 01:18:22,880
So fucking Gonzalez showed up after two months of eating only barbecue and chain smoking

1556
01:18:22,880 --> 01:18:28,840
fucking cigars, you know, maybe Sapanara decided to stay in shape, you know.

1557
01:18:28,840 --> 01:18:33,160
Didn't look like he was an incredible.

1558
01:18:33,160 --> 01:18:37,680
Like, bro, Gonzalez came on and he was as light as a feather.

1559
01:18:37,680 --> 01:18:38,680
Like, you know what I mean?

1560
01:18:38,680 --> 01:18:40,000
He was beating men.

1561
01:18:40,000 --> 01:18:42,400
He looked so good.

1562
01:18:42,400 --> 01:18:48,280
But I mean Fiorentina again, they looked good.

1563
01:18:48,280 --> 01:18:53,400
It's just they looked kind of unremarkable for a team that played Cremona Eze, which

1564
01:18:53,400 --> 01:18:56,600
is weird because last season they were very remarkable.

1565
01:18:56,600 --> 01:18:58,000
They were playing that Italiano ball.

1566
01:18:58,000 --> 01:18:59,000
They were really fluid.

1567
01:18:59,000 --> 01:19:01,120
But once again, last season they lost 4-0 to Udinese.

1568
01:19:01,120 --> 01:19:03,920
So there were moments of, you know, it's weird.

1569
01:19:03,920 --> 01:19:09,520
But at the end of the day, again, once again, they got the victory, they move and that's

1570
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:10,520
going to help you.

1571
01:19:10,520 --> 01:19:11,520
Yeah, exactly.

1572
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:16,080
I don't know if there's anything else I want to mention.

1573
01:19:16,080 --> 01:19:18,960
Maybe Luka Jovovich's debut managed to get a goal, obviously.

1574
01:19:18,960 --> 01:19:19,960
He looked lively.

1575
01:19:19,960 --> 01:19:24,840
He was desperate to score, had a few shots, you know, especially like on the turn.

1576
01:19:24,840 --> 01:19:26,800
I feel like he was trying a bit too hard to get involved.

1577
01:19:26,800 --> 01:19:31,640
I think things will come more naturally to him as he gets used to his teammates, as he

1578
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:37,320
realizes that the only person that he has to link up with is Ricardo Sapanara.

1579
01:19:37,320 --> 01:19:38,800
But yeah, the goals will come for him.

1580
01:19:38,800 --> 01:19:40,360
Fiorentina will be fine.

1581
01:19:40,360 --> 01:19:41,360
Yeah, agreed.

1582
01:19:41,360 --> 01:19:42,360
Agreed.

1583
01:19:42,360 --> 01:19:46,280
And yeah, hopefully Mandragora will start to get a bit more playing time and there will

1584
01:19:46,280 --> 01:19:52,720
be more balance in the midfield because that did kind of seem like a slight factor to the

1585
01:19:52,720 --> 01:19:58,400
unremarkability, unremarkableness.

1586
01:19:58,400 --> 01:19:59,400
Unremarkableotomy.

1587
01:19:59,400 --> 01:20:00,400
Just unremark.

1588
01:20:00,400 --> 01:20:01,400
You know what I mean?

1589
01:20:01,400 --> 01:20:03,400
Yeah, let's just go with that.

1590
01:20:03,400 --> 01:20:04,400
Unremark.

1591
01:20:04,400 --> 01:20:09,080
The next game we're going to be covering is Sampdoria nil Atalanta 2.

1592
01:20:09,080 --> 01:20:11,760
So the starting 11 for Atalanta.

1593
01:20:11,760 --> 01:20:15,680
Moussongol, back three of Toloi, Okolny and Gymsity.

1594
01:20:15,680 --> 01:20:18,760
I'll get into why very soon.

1595
01:20:18,760 --> 01:20:25,160
Flanked by Hattaber and Meili with Kukminers, Derun and Pasalic down the middle, front two

1596
01:20:25,160 --> 01:20:27,120
of Muriel and Zapata.

1597
01:20:27,120 --> 01:20:29,080
No real surprises over there.

1598
01:20:29,080 --> 01:20:32,160
Yeah, it's a classic Atalanta, right?

1599
01:20:32,160 --> 01:20:33,160
Yeah, yeah.

1600
01:20:33,160 --> 01:20:35,920
And you know, classic Atalanta.

1601
01:20:35,920 --> 01:20:41,480
Soon we'll start seeing, you know, fucking who knows who starting where.

1602
01:20:41,480 --> 01:20:43,360
Who knows who starting where.

1603
01:20:43,360 --> 01:20:45,120
Wow, that's that's that's great.

1604
01:20:45,120 --> 01:20:47,000
Everything everywhere all at once.

1605
01:20:47,000 --> 01:20:53,160
But obviously they're very notorious for changing things around in there and their starting

1606
01:20:53,160 --> 01:20:54,160
11.

1607
01:20:54,160 --> 01:21:01,480
So remember this starting 11 and we'll see what happens in the next game.

1608
01:21:01,480 --> 01:21:07,640
For Sampdoria, Audera on goal with a back four of Augello, Koli, Ferrari and Berezinski.

1609
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:13,000
In the defensive midfield there was Vieira with Rincon and Sabiri up ahead of him.

1610
01:21:13,000 --> 01:21:18,520
The wingers were Juricic and Leris and the striker was Ciccio Caputo.

1611
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:25,040
Who opened the scoring but the goal was disallowed after a Varchek due to a foul on Meili in

1612
01:21:25,040 --> 01:21:26,040
the build up.

1613
01:21:26,040 --> 01:21:31,600
Which wasn't a foul.

1614
01:21:31,600 --> 01:21:32,600
It was very soft.

1615
01:21:32,600 --> 01:21:33,600
It was really soft.

1616
01:21:33,600 --> 01:21:36,160
I was surprised they cancelled the goal out to be honest with you.

1617
01:21:36,160 --> 01:21:37,400
I was really surprised.

1618
01:21:37,400 --> 01:21:39,560
I thought that wasn't a foul.

1619
01:21:39,560 --> 01:21:40,560
It was very soft.

1620
01:21:40,560 --> 01:21:41,560
Fair enough.

1621
01:21:41,560 --> 01:21:43,000
I need to take another look at it.

1622
01:21:43,000 --> 01:21:45,360
But yeah, you're not wrong.

1623
01:21:45,360 --> 01:21:50,760
Meili missed a fucking chance moments later, bro.

1624
01:21:50,760 --> 01:21:52,240
Open goal and he hit the post.

1625
01:21:52,240 --> 01:21:54,320
And it's not like the ball just came to him.

1626
01:21:54,320 --> 01:21:55,320
You know what I mean?

1627
01:21:55,320 --> 01:21:56,560
He had to run up to the ball and everything.

1628
01:21:56,560 --> 01:21:58,840
He had time and he smacked the post.

1629
01:21:58,840 --> 01:22:01,360
It was a really, really silly miss.

1630
01:22:01,360 --> 01:22:04,320
But thankfully for him in the 26th minute, Toloi scored.

1631
01:22:04,320 --> 01:22:09,960
He half volleyed the ball in after a Zapata cross was headed to the Brazilian by Pasalic.

1632
01:22:09,960 --> 01:22:13,440
As we always say, the smartest man in the league.

1633
01:22:13,440 --> 01:22:16,680
And smartest man in my Fanta.

1634
01:22:16,680 --> 01:22:23,640
So then Sampdoria got a free kick and Sabiri smacked the post from the free kick.

1635
01:22:23,640 --> 01:22:26,320
He had Mussou beaten and he went to his near post.

1636
01:22:26,320 --> 01:22:30,320
The power the man has in his shot is ridiculous, man.

1637
01:22:30,320 --> 01:22:33,680
Qualiarella dinked the crossbar with a looping attempt.

1638
01:22:33,680 --> 01:22:35,120
Sampdoria were getting their chances.

1639
01:22:35,120 --> 01:22:36,120
They were looking decent.

1640
01:22:36,120 --> 01:22:37,120
They were.

1641
01:22:37,120 --> 01:22:38,120
They were playing really well.

1642
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:43,120
Then Atalanta had the ball in the back of their net after 89 minutes as Duvon Zapata

1643
01:22:43,120 --> 01:22:47,760
ran from his own half and whipped the cross in for Adamola Lukman.

1644
01:22:47,760 --> 01:22:53,420
But it was ruled offside after the Jamaican Englishman converted.

1645
01:22:53,420 --> 01:22:57,520
But thankfully in the 95th, Lukman managed to get the goal on his debut.

1646
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:00,560
He had a lot of time to finish after a counter attack.

1647
01:23:00,560 --> 01:23:04,560
It was a good ball by Malinowski as well, but he did well to beat his man.

1648
01:23:04,560 --> 01:23:05,560
Zapata was completely open.

1649
01:23:05,560 --> 01:23:11,400
But he did well to beat his man and bamboozled out there a little bit and put the ball into

1650
01:23:11,400 --> 01:23:13,880
the back of the net.

1651
01:23:13,880 --> 01:23:19,320
So both teams were coming off a summer of great change to their squad.

1652
01:23:19,320 --> 01:23:21,520
You know what I mean?

1653
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:29,960
Atalanta missed Demiral, Zappa Costa, new signing Ederson, Rem of Reuler, who's joining

1654
01:23:29,960 --> 01:23:38,560
fucking Nottingham Forest and obviously Palomino as well because he got caught doping following

1655
01:23:38,560 --> 01:23:40,080
a couple of drug tests.

1656
01:23:40,080 --> 01:23:47,120
So Atalanta already from day one had one, two, three, four, five, six players out.

1657
01:23:47,120 --> 01:23:48,120
There you go.

1658
01:23:48,120 --> 01:23:53,360
Welcome to the Serie A campaign of 2022-2023 Atalanta.

1659
01:23:53,360 --> 01:23:57,240
And then the Blue Cherkiati.

1660
01:23:57,240 --> 01:23:58,240
What do they call them?

1661
01:23:58,240 --> 01:23:59,240
Blue Cherkiati.

1662
01:23:59,240 --> 01:24:00,240
Something like that, bro.

1663
01:24:00,240 --> 01:24:05,040
I don't know why you'd even bother putting yourself in that situation.

1664
01:24:05,040 --> 01:24:11,440
They had Leverba suspended, they had Gabbiadini and Conti injured as well.

1665
01:24:11,440 --> 01:24:12,440
Nothing new there.

1666
01:24:12,440 --> 01:24:13,440
Conti and Gabbiadini.

1667
01:24:13,440 --> 01:24:14,440
Classic, classic.

1668
01:24:14,440 --> 01:24:23,440
But to be honest, I was pleasantly surprised by some of the way they performed.

1669
01:24:23,440 --> 01:24:25,440
I thought they played really well.

1670
01:24:25,440 --> 01:24:29,440
I thought they had a goal, of course, unrightly disallowed.

1671
01:24:29,440 --> 01:24:32,160
I thought it was quite unjust.

1672
01:24:32,160 --> 01:24:35,360
They had a bit of character to their play.

1673
01:24:35,360 --> 01:24:36,360
They had a style.

1674
01:24:36,360 --> 01:24:38,600
Caputo was lively up front.

1675
01:24:38,600 --> 01:24:40,600
Sabiri good as always.

1676
01:24:40,600 --> 01:24:42,960
Juri Cis looked quite good as well.

1677
01:24:42,960 --> 01:24:49,800
I thought Ronaldo Viera had a decent game in midfield.

1678
01:24:49,800 --> 01:24:53,400
And Atalanta are a team that can easily overpower you and dominate you.

1679
01:24:53,400 --> 01:24:55,840
And I feel like they struggled a little bit against the Sampdoria side.

1680
01:24:55,840 --> 01:24:57,240
And that's a good thing for them.

1681
01:24:57,240 --> 01:24:58,240
No, they definitely did.

1682
01:24:58,240 --> 01:25:01,000
Sampdoria had a few decent chances.

1683
01:25:01,000 --> 01:25:03,000
You mentioned that Qualierla got in behind the defence twice.

1684
01:25:03,000 --> 01:25:04,760
Oh, and they gave them so much time.

1685
01:25:04,760 --> 01:25:05,760
You don't give Qualierla time.

1686
01:25:05,760 --> 01:25:06,760
Madonna, like crazy.

1687
01:25:06,760 --> 01:25:13,000
But that probably does have something to do with the back three that they did have to

1688
01:25:13,000 --> 01:25:14,000
end up fielding.

1689
01:25:14,000 --> 01:25:19,680
But yeah, Atalanta were very moody last year, obviously.

1690
01:25:19,680 --> 01:25:23,760
This performance, do you think things are going to change or do you think they're more

1691
01:25:23,760 --> 01:25:26,120
or less going to be very similar last year?

1692
01:25:26,120 --> 01:25:28,880
I think it's too early to tell, of course.

1693
01:25:28,880 --> 01:25:30,800
It would be purely a guess.

1694
01:25:30,800 --> 01:25:38,240
And I would guess that playing once a week would really help Atalanta really get their

1695
01:25:38,240 --> 01:25:41,080
play the style that they want to play.

1696
01:25:41,080 --> 01:25:43,000
It takes a lot of stamina.

1697
01:25:43,000 --> 01:25:46,400
So having a full week of rest between each game will really help them.

1698
01:25:46,400 --> 01:25:48,280
So that's rotation as well.

1699
01:25:48,280 --> 01:25:49,280
Exactly.

1700
01:25:49,280 --> 01:25:50,720
You know, there are a few options here.

1701
01:25:50,720 --> 01:25:54,560
Like this isn't the full team, as you mentioned, there are many players who are missing.

1702
01:25:54,560 --> 01:25:58,600
So I think that they will improve from last season.

1703
01:25:58,600 --> 01:26:00,320
Now we'll see, of course.

1704
01:26:00,320 --> 01:26:03,960
It sucks that Malinowski is leaving the league, man.

1705
01:26:03,960 --> 01:26:04,960
Is it confirmed?

1706
01:26:04,960 --> 01:26:05,960
He probably will, right?

1707
01:26:05,960 --> 01:26:06,960
He'll be leaving to...

1708
01:26:06,960 --> 01:26:11,560
Apparently, Nottingham Forest wanted them as well, but he said no.

1709
01:26:11,560 --> 01:26:12,560
Like...

1710
01:26:12,560 --> 01:26:14,920
Aha, wait, it's not confirmed.

1711
01:26:14,920 --> 01:26:15,920
It's not confirmed.

1712
01:26:15,920 --> 01:26:17,680
He's not confirmed to Forest.

1713
01:26:17,680 --> 01:26:20,200
I know that Froiler is confirmed to Forest.

1714
01:26:20,200 --> 01:26:23,880
Spurs have been linked to Malinowski.

1715
01:26:23,880 --> 01:26:24,880
We'll see.

1716
01:26:24,880 --> 01:26:27,960
We'll see what happens, but it doesn't look like he's going to set at Atalanta.

1717
01:26:27,960 --> 01:26:31,560
It looks like he's going for a move away.

1718
01:26:31,560 --> 01:26:34,320
Like I said, we're losing Froiler from the league.

1719
01:26:34,320 --> 01:26:37,080
He's joining Forest.

1720
01:26:37,080 --> 01:26:41,600
And to be honest, we both tune into the Forest every now and then.

1721
01:26:41,600 --> 01:26:46,040
And I'm excited to see him over there, at least we're not losing him because we still

1722
01:26:46,040 --> 01:26:47,400
tune in a little bit.

1723
01:26:47,400 --> 01:26:48,400
Exactly.

1724
01:26:48,400 --> 01:26:51,240
For those wondering, our father is a massive Nottingham Forest fan.

1725
01:26:51,240 --> 01:26:52,240
Shout out Kevin.

1726
01:26:52,240 --> 01:26:54,280
Shout out Kevin.

1727
01:26:54,280 --> 01:26:58,640
Sabiri is kind of the star of the Sampdoria team.

1728
01:26:58,640 --> 01:26:59,640
Abdel Hamid.

1729
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:00,640
Abdel Hamid Sabiri.

1730
01:27:00,640 --> 01:27:01,640
He's amazing.

1731
01:27:01,640 --> 01:27:03,640
He's the star of this team.

1732
01:27:03,640 --> 01:27:04,640
I think so too.

1733
01:27:04,640 --> 01:27:08,880
I think he's responsible for many of their offensive plays.

1734
01:27:08,880 --> 01:27:11,840
Yeah, he'll hit free kicks, he'll probably be on pens.

1735
01:27:11,840 --> 01:27:12,840
He'll be on pens, you think?

1736
01:27:12,840 --> 01:27:13,840
I think he'll be on pens.

1737
01:27:13,840 --> 01:27:14,840
Unless Collier was on.

1738
01:27:14,840 --> 01:27:18,720
Well, when he's on the pitch, he'll be on pens.

1739
01:27:18,720 --> 01:27:23,280
But yeah, I don't think there's too much to add.

1740
01:27:23,280 --> 01:27:27,920
Yeah, I'm pretty happy to move on to the next game, brother.

1741
01:27:27,920 --> 01:27:34,080
So the next game is Monza 1 Torino 2.

1742
01:27:34,080 --> 01:27:39,600
Torino had only won one of their previous six matchday one games in Serie A. And this

1743
01:27:39,600 --> 01:27:41,680
was against a Swolon in 2019.

1744
01:27:41,680 --> 01:27:45,660
So this is a very nice start for them.

1745
01:27:45,660 --> 01:27:53,400
They lined up with Mlinkovic Savic in goal, Adopo, Gigi and Ricardo Rodriguez at the back,

1746
01:27:53,400 --> 01:27:59,200
Singo on the right and Olayin on the left with Ricci and Lenetti in the middle.

1747
01:27:59,200 --> 01:28:03,040
Mirancuk and Radonjic playing behind Sanabria.

1748
01:28:03,040 --> 01:28:04,200
That's a good front three, man.

1749
01:28:04,200 --> 01:28:05,200
That is a good front three.

1750
01:28:05,200 --> 01:28:08,240
Very fluid and as we saw this game, excellent goals followed.

1751
01:28:08,240 --> 01:28:09,240
Very sex.

1752
01:28:09,240 --> 01:28:12,520
Now, Monza lined up with Di Gregorio on goal.

1753
01:28:12,520 --> 01:28:19,400
Weird, but I mean, I guess Di Gregorio was responsible for playing in goal as they got

1754
01:28:19,400 --> 01:28:20,400
promoted.

1755
01:28:20,400 --> 01:28:24,000
So Craniot, I guess I like this approach, to be honest.

1756
01:28:24,000 --> 01:28:29,920
They're making Di Gregorio feel like his position is his to lose.

1757
01:28:29,920 --> 01:28:30,920
You know what I mean?

1758
01:28:30,920 --> 01:28:33,160
Like Craniot has to earn the spot, which is good.

1759
01:28:33,160 --> 01:28:34,160
It's a positive thing.

1760
01:28:34,160 --> 01:28:40,120
Like you said, weird that Di Gregorio started, produced some fantastic save, so huh?

1761
01:28:40,120 --> 01:28:42,320
For me, one of the best players on the pitch.

1762
01:28:42,320 --> 01:28:43,880
He was really, really fucking good.

1763
01:28:43,880 --> 01:28:44,880
He really was.

1764
01:28:44,880 --> 01:28:47,120
Now, how old is Di Gregorio?

1765
01:28:47,120 --> 01:28:48,120
He is 25.

1766
01:28:48,120 --> 01:28:50,680
Young guy as well, man.

1767
01:28:50,680 --> 01:28:51,680
He's a solid keeper.

1768
01:28:51,680 --> 01:28:54,080
I was surprised when they got Craniot.

1769
01:28:54,080 --> 01:28:56,320
But I guess you don't say no to Craniot.

1770
01:28:56,320 --> 01:28:59,440
Augusto, Mari and Santos were at the back.

1771
01:28:59,440 --> 01:29:01,680
Of course, Mari has joined from Guadineze.

1772
01:29:01,680 --> 01:29:05,120
D'Alessandro on the left and Birindelli on the right.

1773
01:29:05,120 --> 01:29:07,240
Two very dangerous players.

1774
01:29:07,240 --> 01:29:09,360
Valotti, Barberis and Ranocchia.

1775
01:29:09,360 --> 01:29:11,520
And the middle no, that is not Inter's Ranocchia.

1776
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:12,520
He was on the bench.

1777
01:29:12,520 --> 01:29:13,520
They have two Ranocchias.

1778
01:29:13,520 --> 01:29:18,360
I was very surprised when I heard the commentator shout, Ranocchia!

1779
01:29:18,360 --> 01:29:20,360
And it's like a shot from out of the box.

1780
01:29:20,360 --> 01:29:21,360
Exactly.

1781
01:29:21,360 --> 01:29:22,360
I'm like, what's he doing?

1782
01:29:22,360 --> 01:29:25,480
But turns out it was the other Ranocchia.

1783
01:29:25,480 --> 01:29:27,600
Caprari and Petania up front.

1784
01:29:27,600 --> 01:29:30,400
Very interesting, very interesting, very interesting.

1785
01:29:30,400 --> 01:29:35,800
Now, in the 43rd minute Alexei Mirancuk scored a lovely, lovely, lovely goal.

1786
01:29:35,800 --> 01:29:41,920
It was a beautiful sequence of play which ended up with Mirancuk rolling the ball past

1787
01:29:41,920 --> 01:29:44,880
the goalkeeper and it was a Toni Sanabria assist.

1788
01:29:44,880 --> 01:29:48,760
In the 66th minute was Toni Sanabria's turn to score.

1789
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:51,000
This was the intro.

1790
01:29:51,000 --> 01:29:53,320
You've probably grown tired of hearing it.

1791
01:29:53,320 --> 01:29:58,000
Richie looped the ball to Sanabria who was at the near post who basically dunked it home

1792
01:29:58,000 --> 01:29:59,000
acrobatically.

1793
01:29:59,000 --> 01:30:04,600
And then in the 94th minute, the last kick of the game, it was Dani Mota who scored for

1794
01:30:04,600 --> 01:30:06,320
Monza a goal for the substitute.

1795
01:30:06,320 --> 01:30:07,320
It was a rebound goal.

1796
01:30:07,320 --> 01:30:09,520
It was the last kick of the game.

1797
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:14,000
2-1 a deserved victory for Torino who have lost so many important players.

1798
01:30:14,000 --> 01:30:18,000
A tough time for Monza who, to be honest, looked like they were getting outplayed for

1799
01:30:18,000 --> 01:30:20,480
the majority of the game.

1800
01:30:20,480 --> 01:30:27,900
But as Dani Mota gestured at the end of the game, calma, calma, it's still matchday one.

1801
01:30:27,900 --> 01:30:30,460
So we'll see, Monza still needs some time to gel.

1802
01:30:30,460 --> 01:30:32,520
Of course, many of these players are new.

1803
01:30:32,520 --> 01:30:34,520
But yeah, we'll see.

1804
01:30:34,520 --> 01:30:35,520
We'll see what they can do.

1805
01:30:35,520 --> 01:30:39,120
Sensi of course came on of the bench which was nice to see.

1806
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:40,240
What did you make of this bro?

1807
01:30:40,240 --> 01:30:45,440
I mean, like you said, Monza still needs quite a bit of time to gel together and at the end

1808
01:30:45,440 --> 01:30:51,960
of the day they played short-or-in-a-loss players and they're significantly individually

1809
01:30:51,960 --> 01:30:55,440
a weaker side from last year.

1810
01:30:55,440 --> 01:30:59,880
That being said, this is their second season in a row under Juric.

1811
01:30:59,880 --> 01:31:03,840
Two seasons under Juric and one season under Juric are two very different things.

1812
01:31:03,840 --> 01:31:06,320
He has time to cement his style a little bit more.

1813
01:31:06,320 --> 01:31:10,280
He has time to grow closer to the players, get more enthusiasm in them.

1814
01:31:10,280 --> 01:31:13,400
Torino are going to be a strong side this year just like they were last year.

1815
01:31:13,400 --> 01:31:18,680
I believe they'll be pushing for that top 10 spot as well.

1816
01:31:18,680 --> 01:31:22,940
And they're not an easy draw for anyone, let alone for a newly promoted Monza who just

1817
01:31:22,940 --> 01:31:25,520
signed a bunch of star players.

1818
01:31:25,520 --> 01:31:28,360
Cleverly sure, but they still need time to gel.

1819
01:31:28,360 --> 01:31:32,440
Caprari and Petania starting up front and Sensi coming on.

1820
01:31:32,440 --> 01:31:34,800
It's going to bring a bit of confusion around.

1821
01:31:34,800 --> 01:31:40,120
I doubt Caprari and Petania ever played together for Italy, you know what I mean, or Sensi.

1822
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:46,760
So give them some time to gel and I don't think Monza will be battling.

1823
01:31:46,760 --> 01:31:51,800
It's still very early days obviously.

1824
01:31:51,800 --> 01:31:55,240
In this game Monza didn't seem like they were one of the weaker teams.

1825
01:31:55,240 --> 01:31:58,320
They did bring it a little bit to Torino.

1826
01:31:58,320 --> 01:32:01,080
Yes, I would say so.

1827
01:32:01,080 --> 01:32:04,760
The goal at the end made things look better for them of course, but in reality Torino

1828
01:32:04,760 --> 01:32:07,040
did kind of outplay them in my opinion.

1829
01:32:07,040 --> 01:32:11,200
You know Monza had more position and they had more shots.

1830
01:32:11,200 --> 01:32:14,160
Sure, they didn't look as convincing going forward.

1831
01:32:14,160 --> 01:32:21,720
Their shots certainly didn't look as convincing, especially they had only four of them on target.

1832
01:32:21,720 --> 01:32:27,000
But yeah, they were enthusiastic, they were lively, they were bringing it.

1833
01:32:27,000 --> 01:32:30,360
Yeah, Lukic, have we spoken about this?

1834
01:32:30,360 --> 01:32:31,360
No.

1835
01:32:31,360 --> 01:32:32,360
No, okay.

1836
01:32:32,360 --> 01:32:34,440
So we must have spoken about him before, that's right.

1837
01:32:34,440 --> 01:32:39,720
Lukic didn't play this game because he was apparently trying to force a last minute transfer

1838
01:32:39,720 --> 01:32:40,720
to Juric Surprise.

1839
01:32:40,720 --> 01:32:44,720
Juric said he's a good boy, I don't know what the hell happened.

1840
01:32:44,720 --> 01:32:48,340
He literally said he's a good boy, which I found very funny.

1841
01:32:48,340 --> 01:32:54,520
He has since apologized for trying to force a move away and is looking to extend his contract,

1842
01:32:54,520 --> 01:32:56,680
the duality of man.

1843
01:32:56,680 --> 01:32:57,680
It's crazy man.

1844
01:32:57,680 --> 01:33:01,120
You know sometimes, I think it's the agents, the agents are getting in your head, you make

1845
01:33:01,120 --> 01:33:04,320
a rash decision, you regret it instantly and you're just like you know what I'm extending

1846
01:33:04,320 --> 01:33:05,320
out.

1847
01:33:05,320 --> 01:33:08,720
Agents, girlfriends, friends, former teammates.

1848
01:33:08,720 --> 01:33:09,720
Voices in your head.

1849
01:33:09,720 --> 01:33:10,720
Voices in your head.

1850
01:33:10,720 --> 01:33:14,200
It could be anything that wanted to get him, you know it's probably been on his mind for

1851
01:33:14,200 --> 01:33:17,200
a while and he panicked and he just brought it up.

1852
01:33:17,200 --> 01:33:18,840
You know what I mean?

1853
01:33:18,840 --> 01:33:20,760
And he decided to take strong action.

1854
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:27,920
But Sasha Lukic is a good player and the manager seems to think of the world of him so it'll

1855
01:33:27,920 --> 01:33:31,080
be good to see him stay for another season at Torino.

1856
01:33:31,080 --> 01:33:36,400
For me the man of the match is Tony Sanabria, but a close second is Ricci who had a massive

1857
01:33:36,400 --> 01:33:41,200
performance, he had one assist, he had 45 accurate passes, four chances created, three

1858
01:33:41,200 --> 01:33:46,480
of them being big chances, three out of four long balls completed, seven recoveries, four

1859
01:33:46,480 --> 01:33:49,680
out of four ground equals one, zero times dispossessed.

1860
01:33:49,680 --> 01:33:52,760
He was amazing.

1861
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:55,360
The former Empoli man, what a performance by him.

1862
01:33:55,360 --> 01:33:56,920
Yeah, really good performance by him.

1863
01:33:56,920 --> 01:34:03,280
It's crazy to think that two seasons ago the man was playing in Serie A for Empoli.

1864
01:34:03,280 --> 01:34:09,080
Late six months in Serie A, it was enough for a top Serie A team to say we want him

1865
01:34:09,080 --> 01:34:10,080
in our team.

1866
01:34:10,080 --> 01:34:17,360
He was one of those and I don't think Torino is the epitome of what Ricci can do in the

1867
01:34:17,360 --> 01:34:18,360
league.

1868
01:34:18,360 --> 01:34:22,040
I think he's a great player, he's still quite young as well.

1869
01:34:22,040 --> 01:34:29,840
He's 20 years old, Ricci, which is fucking nuts.

1870
01:34:29,840 --> 01:34:32,240
Bro I just opened it up, I was not expecting to see 20.

1871
01:34:32,240 --> 01:34:35,200
I'm not gonna lie, I was thinking I was gonna see 24.

1872
01:34:35,200 --> 01:34:36,200
You know what I mean?

1873
01:34:36,200 --> 01:34:39,160
It's nuts that the man is still 20 years old.

1874
01:34:39,160 --> 01:34:40,160
He was amazing.

1875
01:34:40,160 --> 01:34:44,320
He was hot shit at Empoli.

1876
01:34:44,320 --> 01:34:49,720
And then they fucking, Torino grabbed him mid-season and they replaced him with Aslani,

1877
01:34:49,720 --> 01:34:52,120
who was also hot shit.

1878
01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:55,600
So now Empoli are left with only hot shit.

1879
01:34:55,600 --> 01:34:59,200
But anyway, for me the Monza team, the most impressive player was Birn Dele.

1880
01:34:59,200 --> 01:35:00,200
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1881
01:35:00,200 --> 01:35:01,200
Out wide.

1882
01:35:01,200 --> 01:35:03,000
So the great Gregorio between the sticks.

1883
01:35:03,000 --> 01:35:06,600
Exactly, Gregorio and Birn Dele were the guys.

1884
01:35:06,600 --> 01:35:12,560
Okay bro, that's basically it for Monza Torino and we have one more game, the final one.

1885
01:35:12,560 --> 01:35:15,600
Yep, it's Spezia 1-1 Empoli 0.

1886
01:35:15,600 --> 01:35:22,040
It is Gotti against Zanetti, two new managers with two of the lower end teams obviously.

1887
01:35:22,040 --> 01:35:26,520
Spezia lined up with their new goalkeeper Dragovski between the sticks.

1888
01:35:26,520 --> 01:35:30,000
Back three were Nicolao Caldara and Kyivior.

1889
01:35:30,000 --> 01:35:32,440
They were supported by Reka and Giassi.

1890
01:35:32,440 --> 01:35:34,760
I saw you look at it when I said Kyivior.

1891
01:35:34,760 --> 01:35:36,480
How would you pronounce it?

1892
01:35:36,480 --> 01:35:38,720
I have no clue bro, how do you spell it?

1893
01:35:38,720 --> 01:35:39,720
K-I-W-I-O-R.

1894
01:35:39,720 --> 01:35:42,720
How else other than Kyivior?

1895
01:35:42,720 --> 01:35:45,000
Let's go for Kyivior.

1896
01:35:45,000 --> 01:35:46,000
Let's call him Kyivior.

1897
01:35:46,000 --> 01:35:47,000
Let's call him Kyivior.

1898
01:35:47,000 --> 01:35:48,000
The Kiwi.

1899
01:35:48,000 --> 01:35:49,000
The Kiwi.

1900
01:35:49,000 --> 01:35:52,840
So Nicolao, Kyivior and Caldara, supported by Reka and Giassi out wide.

1901
01:35:52,840 --> 01:35:58,880
Bastoni, Borabi and Agudelo forming that midfield three, with Verde and Enzola up front.

1902
01:35:58,880 --> 01:36:03,640
And then Empoli, Vicario between the sticks, Stojanovic, Ismael, Luperto and Parisi forming

1903
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:09,960
the back four, Henderson, Marin and Bandinelli forming midfield three, Bayrami behind Lammers

1904
01:36:09,960 --> 01:36:11,380
and Destra.

1905
01:36:11,380 --> 01:36:15,360
So the only goal was scored in the 36th minute by Enzola.

1906
01:36:15,360 --> 01:36:19,600
It was Bastoni's through ball that played Enzola through on goal, who finished between

1907
01:36:19,600 --> 01:36:21,500
the legs of Vicario.

1908
01:36:21,500 --> 01:36:24,320
So this was a pretty underwhelming game of football.

1909
01:36:24,320 --> 01:36:32,480
I mean it did seem that quality was scarce in this game, but at the end of the day it

1910
01:36:32,480 --> 01:36:36,680
was quite a dogfight between the two teams.

1911
01:36:36,680 --> 01:36:40,880
In my opinion, Spezia did not look like the better team.

1912
01:36:40,880 --> 01:36:47,880
They got the win, but you know, Empoli had 59% possession and had 18 shots taken.

1913
01:36:47,880 --> 01:36:52,560
What did you make of Destra's debut?

1914
01:36:52,560 --> 01:37:00,640
So Destra's debut, I thought that he looked lively and he has the tools around him for

1915
01:37:00,640 --> 01:37:02,120
him to succeed over here.

1916
01:37:02,120 --> 01:37:05,240
I thought that Empoli played well and they showed that they can be a very interesting

1917
01:37:05,240 --> 01:37:07,240
team this season.

1918
01:37:07,240 --> 01:37:11,920
Spezia on the other hand showed that they are very capable of shithousing victories

1919
01:37:11,920 --> 01:37:16,020
just as they were last season and to be honest the two seasons before that, when they stay

1920
01:37:16,020 --> 01:37:20,620
up these random victories and time wasting towards the end, you know, this was the classic

1921
01:37:20,620 --> 01:37:21,620
case of that.

1922
01:37:21,620 --> 01:37:23,400
Empoli were the better team.

1923
01:37:23,400 --> 01:37:25,920
Yeah, the much better team.

1924
01:37:25,920 --> 01:37:27,240
By far, the much better team, exactly.

1925
01:37:27,240 --> 01:37:29,520
But you look at them, you know, they have a strong core over here.

1926
01:37:29,520 --> 01:37:32,840
They have a few players who have been there for a while.

1927
01:37:32,840 --> 01:37:37,480
You know, I mean, first of all, they've brought in Drogowski, who's off to a flying start.

1928
01:37:37,480 --> 01:37:39,400
Great performance by him.

1929
01:37:39,400 --> 01:37:43,060
They've got Kaldar and Nicolao at the back who have a lot of Serie A experience.

1930
01:37:43,060 --> 01:37:48,280
They have Rehkaot White who has a lot of Serie A experience now and is becoming quite a fundamental

1931
01:37:48,280 --> 01:37:50,560
part of this Spezia team.

1932
01:37:50,560 --> 01:37:53,760
Bastoni in the middle, he is Mr Spezia himself, in my opinion.

1933
01:37:53,760 --> 01:37:54,760
I agree.

1934
01:37:54,760 --> 01:37:57,160
He can play left back, he can play in the middle, he can play on the wing, he plays

1935
01:37:57,160 --> 01:37:59,000
anywhere and he plays well wherever he plays.

1936
01:37:59,000 --> 01:38:00,000
First name on the team sheet.

1937
01:38:00,000 --> 01:38:04,160
Agudelo and Giozzi, man, another two guys who have been there for ages, Verde has been

1938
01:38:04,160 --> 01:38:06,600
there for ages and Zola as well has been there for a while.

1939
01:38:06,600 --> 01:38:12,960
So these guys have grown together and they're so used to grinding together and working and

1940
01:38:12,960 --> 01:38:15,320
fucking for the victory, man.

1941
01:38:15,320 --> 01:38:16,640
That's it, man.

1942
01:38:16,640 --> 01:38:18,200
That's all they have.

1943
01:38:18,200 --> 01:38:22,520
They have each other and they have Serie A experience.

1944
01:38:22,520 --> 01:38:23,880
That's all that Spezia have.

1945
01:38:23,880 --> 01:38:28,560
Spezia, and I said this last year when you were when you thought that they'd get relegated,

1946
01:38:28,560 --> 01:38:33,160
and I safely said out of the bottom five, they are the most capable of getting points

1947
01:38:33,160 --> 01:38:36,600
and getting three points against anyone.

1948
01:38:36,600 --> 01:38:39,200
Spezia have the biggest chance to do that out of the bottom teams.

1949
01:38:39,200 --> 01:38:43,720
So it's like Real Madrid won the Champions League last year, right?

1950
01:38:43,720 --> 01:38:48,480
You'd say you think Spezia should have won it.

1951
01:38:48,480 --> 01:38:51,840
Real Madrid excelled at beating teams that were better than them.

1952
01:38:51,840 --> 01:38:54,840
Spezia do the same.

1953
01:38:54,840 --> 01:39:00,800
You could basically start calling them Galacticos from now on.

1954
01:39:00,800 --> 01:39:01,800
Italy's Galacticos.

1955
01:39:01,800 --> 01:39:07,120
Yeah, I mean, they do beat teams that are better than them.

1956
01:39:07,120 --> 01:39:10,240
And that's exactly what they did.

1957
01:39:10,240 --> 01:39:15,080
I thought on the original question that I asked you, Destro looked very good for Empoli.

1958
01:39:15,080 --> 01:39:19,920
He had two situations where he should simply have not got a shot away at goal.

1959
01:39:19,920 --> 01:39:24,920
The way he turned and the way he swiveled for a man of his age, how old is Destro now?

1960
01:39:24,920 --> 01:39:25,920
He's not that old.

1961
01:39:25,920 --> 01:39:27,920
I mean, he's 31.

1962
01:39:27,920 --> 01:39:31,520
31 years old.

1963
01:39:31,520 --> 01:39:34,280
He's 31, but he's been playing football for 45 years.

1964
01:39:34,280 --> 01:39:35,280
It's really weird.

1965
01:39:35,280 --> 01:39:38,280
You remember Roma ages ago?

1966
01:39:38,280 --> 01:39:41,280
Ma don't even floppin' at me.

1967
01:39:41,280 --> 01:39:42,800
He's been around for so long.

1968
01:39:42,800 --> 01:39:45,040
He's gone through all the stages.

1969
01:39:45,040 --> 01:39:47,680
Qualiarella has gone through and he's 41.

1970
01:39:47,680 --> 01:39:52,240
He's 10 years younger than Qualiarella and he's been through all of those stages.

1971
01:39:52,240 --> 01:39:55,800
Destro's a really interesting player, man.

1972
01:39:55,800 --> 01:39:56,800
The guy...

1973
01:39:56,800 --> 01:39:57,800
F**ks.

1974
01:39:57,800 --> 01:40:02,040
Destro's a party animal that f**ks.

1975
01:40:02,040 --> 01:40:03,040
That's what I think of him.

1976
01:40:03,040 --> 01:40:06,160
Even his play style just says, I am a party animal that f**ks.

1977
01:40:06,160 --> 01:40:09,160
Yeah, I would agree with you right there.

1978
01:40:09,160 --> 01:40:15,120
He's a guy who works very hard, man.

1979
01:40:15,120 --> 01:40:17,240
He knows what he wants and he knows how to get it.

1980
01:40:17,240 --> 01:40:18,240
That's it.

1981
01:40:18,240 --> 01:40:19,240
Goals.

1982
01:40:19,240 --> 01:40:24,640
Yeah, and if you look at his flop season at Milan, for example, 15 games, 3 goals.

1983
01:40:24,640 --> 01:40:26,360
I mean, not even the worst.

1984
01:40:26,360 --> 01:40:28,320
I've seen worse.

1985
01:40:28,320 --> 01:40:29,320
I have seen worse.

1986
01:40:29,320 --> 01:40:30,320
Matri.

1987
01:40:30,320 --> 01:40:33,320
Bologna, 105 games, 29 goals.

1988
01:40:33,320 --> 01:40:34,320
Not very good.

1989
01:40:34,320 --> 01:40:37,320
Genoa, 56 games, 20 goals.

1990
01:40:37,320 --> 01:40:38,320
Decent.

1991
01:40:38,320 --> 01:40:39,320
That's good.

1992
01:40:39,320 --> 01:40:40,320
He's always been the type of player...

1993
01:40:40,320 --> 01:40:41,320
With Roma he was good.

1994
01:40:41,320 --> 01:40:42,320
57 games, 24 goals.

1995
01:40:42,320 --> 01:40:43,320
That was his peak.

1996
01:40:43,320 --> 01:40:46,520
That was peak Destro between 2012 and 2015.

1997
01:40:46,520 --> 01:40:49,080
That was a Destro that we enjoyed watching the most.

1998
01:40:49,080 --> 01:40:53,320
That's the Destro that landed him the Milan contract in 2015.

1999
01:40:53,320 --> 01:40:57,280
And now Destro has become the player that you plug in as a striker for teams that are

2000
01:40:57,280 --> 01:41:00,000
struggling for a certain life.

2001
01:41:00,000 --> 01:41:06,240
He does bring that Serie A experience to these teams and it just gives you, all right, if

2002
01:41:06,240 --> 01:41:11,400
you get the ball to Destro on the box, we'll have a shot in the dark, we'll have a chance.

2003
01:41:11,400 --> 01:41:12,720
And that's something he brings.

2004
01:41:12,720 --> 01:41:16,160
Jesus, are you okay?

2005
01:41:16,160 --> 01:41:20,680
So yeah, I think at the end of the day, Lokempoli look better than Spezia, but I think it says

2006
01:41:20,680 --> 01:41:24,120
more that Spezia were the worst team but managed to get away with three points.

2007
01:41:24,120 --> 01:41:25,720
I think it's massive for them.

2008
01:41:25,720 --> 01:41:29,320
I can't just say how well I see Dragovski fitting in at Spezia.

2009
01:41:29,320 --> 01:41:31,640
I know he's a goalkeeper and doesn't take much to fit in.

2010
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:36,640
If you're a good shot stopper and you command your box, well, you're going to fit in anywhere

2011
01:41:36,640 --> 01:41:38,760
at the end of the day, but his mentality is just Spezia.

2012
01:41:38,760 --> 01:41:40,760
He's a bit of a shit house himself.

2013
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:44,560
Good at saving penalties so he can get more points.

2014
01:41:44,560 --> 01:41:47,360
I think this is the perfect environment for him to improve.

2015
01:41:47,360 --> 01:41:48,720
Hey, agreed.

2016
01:41:48,720 --> 01:41:53,480
Did you know that Destro's father, Flavio Destro, was also a football player?

2017
01:41:53,480 --> 01:41:54,480
Yes.

2018
01:41:54,480 --> 01:41:59,520
He played for Regina, Empoli, Cesena, Pescara, Ascoli, quite a few things.

2019
01:41:59,520 --> 01:42:00,520
He was a defender though.

2020
01:42:00,520 --> 01:42:05,280
He's 5'11.5, not quite 6 feet, is it?

2021
01:42:05,280 --> 01:42:06,280
It's very close to 6 feet.

2022
01:42:06,280 --> 01:42:11,280
He's up and in, he's a 6 foot dick.

2023
01:42:11,280 --> 01:42:13,280
It's not quite 6 foot.

2024
01:42:13,280 --> 01:42:14,880
No, you're right.

2025
01:42:14,880 --> 01:42:15,880
He's right.

2026
01:42:15,880 --> 01:42:17,280
Just right 6 feet at this point.

2027
01:42:17,280 --> 01:42:18,280
5'11.5.

2028
01:42:18,280 --> 01:42:20,280
He was like, shut the fuck up.

2029
01:42:20,280 --> 01:42:23,280
I was like, with the shoes, I'm 6 feet.

2030
01:42:23,280 --> 01:42:30,440
For his ID card, he's like, can I please keep my shoes on?

2031
01:42:30,440 --> 01:42:35,760
He's also a football manager, but he manages a team called Fano.

2032
01:42:35,760 --> 01:42:37,880
So is he even a football manager?

2033
01:42:37,880 --> 01:42:42,600
They play in Serie D. He's been the assistant manager of Crotone and Torino, to be honest,

2034
01:42:42,600 --> 01:42:44,600
and he's been the manager of Ascoli as well.

2035
01:42:44,600 --> 01:42:47,000
So quite a few respectable teams over there.

2036
01:42:47,000 --> 01:42:49,320
But anyway, bro, I think that's it.

2037
01:42:49,320 --> 01:42:50,320
It's midnight, man.

2038
01:42:50,320 --> 01:42:51,320
Is it?

2039
01:42:51,320 --> 01:42:52,320
Yeah, it's midnight.

2040
01:42:52,320 --> 01:42:53,320
It's one past midnight.

2041
01:42:53,320 --> 01:42:54,320
That's it.

2042
01:42:54,320 --> 01:42:55,320
Not bad.

2043
01:42:55,320 --> 01:42:57,080
We spent three hours setting up and two hours recording.

2044
01:42:57,080 --> 01:43:00,080
How long is this pod?

2045
01:43:00,080 --> 01:43:01,920
This pod is one hour 43.

2046
01:43:01,920 --> 01:43:02,920
That's a good time.

2047
01:43:02,920 --> 01:43:03,920
Yeah, that is a good time.

2048
01:43:03,920 --> 01:43:05,720
Let us know, guys.

2049
01:43:05,720 --> 01:43:07,960
We enjoyed listening to your feedback.

2050
01:43:07,960 --> 01:43:09,600
Last episode was a fucking disaster.

2051
01:43:09,600 --> 01:43:10,880
So sorry about that.

2052
01:43:10,880 --> 01:43:14,740
So sorry, like honestly, it was Monday.

2053
01:43:14,740 --> 01:43:18,120
The feast was in a week, seven days away.

2054
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:23,040
So there was no reason for these fireworks to start going so crazy.

2055
01:43:23,040 --> 01:43:27,560
They went straight for around two hours and a half.

2056
01:43:27,560 --> 01:43:28,560
It was mental.

2057
01:43:28,560 --> 01:43:31,320
And at that point, it wasn't Monday.

2058
01:43:31,320 --> 01:43:32,320
It was later on that Monday.

2059
01:43:32,320 --> 01:43:33,320
It was Monday.

2060
01:43:33,320 --> 01:43:34,320
We recorded on Monday, no?

2061
01:43:34,320 --> 01:43:35,320
Or Tuesday, was it?

2062
01:43:35,320 --> 01:43:40,600
I think it was later on, because I remember us saying it was fucking Wednesday, dog.

2063
01:43:40,600 --> 01:43:41,600
It was a Wednesday.

2064
01:43:41,600 --> 01:43:44,080
It was Wednesday as fuck, because we're going to record on Tuesday, but we're doing the

2065
01:43:44,080 --> 01:43:45,080
camera set up.

2066
01:43:45,080 --> 01:43:46,080
So we said, let's push it.

2067
01:43:46,080 --> 01:43:47,560
Let's push it to Wednesday.

2068
01:43:47,560 --> 01:43:50,200
So it was close to say, yeah, so we couldn't put it off.

2069
01:43:50,200 --> 01:43:53,040
We knew we were going to have the same issue if we recorded the next day.

2070
01:43:53,040 --> 01:43:54,040
So fuck it.

2071
01:43:54,040 --> 01:44:00,520
Like we tried to edit our we tried to get some background noise killers.

2072
01:44:00,520 --> 01:44:01,920
We're editing our voices.

2073
01:44:01,920 --> 01:44:05,040
It ended up taking away a chunk of quality from our voices.

2074
01:44:05,040 --> 01:44:08,800
And you'd still hear the fireworks very clearly.

2075
01:44:08,800 --> 01:44:11,480
That's my least favorite episode by far.

2076
01:44:11,480 --> 01:44:14,000
It's a shame because I was so excited to record it.

2077
01:44:14,000 --> 01:44:17,440
It's good content at the end of the day, but I would not listen to it.

2078
01:44:17,440 --> 01:44:18,440
Of course not.

2079
01:44:18,440 --> 01:44:20,680
After the first boom, I had to turn it off.

2080
01:44:20,680 --> 01:44:21,680
I was like, Jesus, I'm cringing.

2081
01:44:21,680 --> 01:44:22,680
50 downloads.

2082
01:44:22,680 --> 01:44:23,680
Wow.

2083
01:44:23,680 --> 01:44:24,680
I was surprised.

2084
01:44:24,680 --> 01:44:25,680
In one day.

2085
01:44:25,680 --> 01:44:26,680
In one day.

2086
01:44:26,680 --> 01:44:27,680
So thank you very much.

2087
01:44:27,680 --> 01:44:28,680
Of course.

2088
01:44:28,680 --> 01:44:29,680
Wow.

2089
01:44:29,680 --> 01:44:35,120
All these fans, all these listeners, sorry, that were brought in, had to experience that.

2090
01:44:35,120 --> 01:44:36,120
Endure that.

2091
01:44:36,120 --> 01:44:38,920
Hopefully this is a bit better for you.

2092
01:44:38,920 --> 01:44:39,920
We're into low energy.

2093
01:44:39,920 --> 01:44:40,920
It's a random, is it Monday or Tuesday?

2094
01:44:40,920 --> 01:44:41,920
It's a Tuesday night.

2095
01:44:41,920 --> 01:44:42,920
Today is Tuesday, but it feels like Monday.

2096
01:44:42,920 --> 01:44:43,920
Yeah.

2097
01:44:43,920 --> 01:44:51,000
Guys, don't forget to follow us on, and I say this and I mean this.

2098
01:44:51,000 --> 01:44:54,800
We blast out a bunch of good content on Instagram and on TikTok.

2099
01:44:54,800 --> 01:44:56,680
We have a couple of good snippets.

2100
01:44:56,680 --> 01:45:00,400
We take away some best moments from the podcasts and share them with your friends.

2101
01:45:00,400 --> 01:45:04,440
It's some good way to get into Serie A. If you have any Prem heads that need series or

2102
01:45:04,440 --> 01:45:08,040
Man United fans that need some good converting to Serie A.

2103
01:45:08,040 --> 01:45:09,040
Come on, Brent Fitt.

2104
01:45:09,040 --> 01:45:10,040
Come on, Brent Fitt.

2105
01:45:10,040 --> 01:45:11,840
Just share a podcast with them.

2106
01:45:11,840 --> 01:45:14,680
It might be a decent start for them.

2107
01:45:14,680 --> 01:45:15,680
Follow us on Twitter as well.

2108
01:45:15,680 --> 01:45:18,560
And yeah, I think that's pretty much it from us guys.

2109
01:45:18,560 --> 01:45:23,240
At Serie A Spotlight to see Matthew's bandana and my cool hat.

2110
01:45:23,240 --> 01:45:24,240
Exactly.

2111
01:45:24,240 --> 01:45:25,240
We'll see you guys next week.

2112
01:45:25,240 --> 01:45:27,040
Love you all and take care.

2113
01:45:27,040 --> 01:45:34,520
Peace out.
