1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,480
And now Kfaradzhalia is steadying himself!

2
00:00:04,480 --> 00:00:07,920
Is there anything this man can't do?

3
00:00:07,920 --> 00:00:10,880
Where on earth has he come from?

4
00:00:10,880 --> 00:00:14,120
No wonder they're already calling him Kfaradonah.

5
00:00:16,560 --> 00:00:20,040
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Serias Whatlight.

6
00:00:20,040 --> 00:00:23,840
This is season two, episode five, and we are hosts Matt and Jake.

7
00:00:23,840 --> 00:00:24,960
Happy anniversary, bro.

8
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:27,840
Happy fucking anniversary, dude.

9
00:00:27,840 --> 00:00:29,800
This is episode, what, 45?

10
00:00:29,800 --> 00:00:34,800
Episode 45 and our one year anniversary is on the 26th of August.

11
00:00:36,000 --> 00:00:39,400
That's when we started, 26th of August 2021 with episode one.

12
00:00:39,400 --> 00:00:41,000
Welcome to Serias Whatlight.

13
00:00:41,000 --> 00:00:43,280
We got comfortable very quickly, bro.

14
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:46,880
Episode two was Empoli's massive ball, so we quickly settled in

15
00:00:46,880 --> 00:00:49,680
and we went for the funny podcast titles.

16
00:00:50,080 --> 00:00:54,000
We didn't want to be that podcast that is too, you know,

17
00:00:54,960 --> 00:00:56,480
corporate, so to say.

18
00:00:56,480 --> 00:00:57,960
We wanted to be ourselves.

19
00:00:57,960 --> 00:01:01,480
I mean, like I said, guys, we're available on TikTok, Instagram, Twitter,

20
00:01:01,480 --> 00:01:04,880
at Serias Whatlight, we're now also available on Facebook.

21
00:01:04,880 --> 00:01:09,120
If you're 90 years old, then Mattia, our Instagram is pretty lit,

22
00:01:09,120 --> 00:01:13,200
as I always say, because I look after it highly, highly, highly.

23
00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:15,600
And yeah, you could stay tuned.

24
00:01:15,600 --> 00:01:17,480
You could see our bets of the week as well.

25
00:01:17,480 --> 00:01:20,920
Yes, that's a good segue into our lost bet.

26
00:01:22,000 --> 00:01:25,160
Last year, last year, last episode, we're talking about going undefeated

27
00:01:25,160 --> 00:01:28,320
and possibly going up to watch a game with the money.

28
00:01:28,320 --> 00:01:29,920
Boom, we lost our bet.

29
00:01:29,920 --> 00:01:32,520
We bet on the Roma Kremanezi game that Roma would win.

30
00:01:32,520 --> 00:01:33,520
And so they did.

31
00:01:33,520 --> 00:01:36,320
We bet on the Monza Napoli game that Napoli would win.

32
00:01:36,320 --> 00:01:37,440
And so they did.

33
00:01:37,440 --> 00:01:41,760
We bet that Milan would beat Atalanta for the fourth time in a row.

34
00:01:41,760 --> 00:01:43,280
But they did not.

35
00:01:43,280 --> 00:01:46,760
It was a one-one draw, a very close game, to be fair.

36
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,120
And Milan could have maybe got something out of it.

37
00:01:49,120 --> 00:01:52,840
But Atalanta showed up and it was quite an impressive game.

38
00:01:52,840 --> 00:01:54,640
We'll talk about that later on.

39
00:01:54,640 --> 00:01:56,080
Of course, you win some, you lose some,

40
00:01:56,080 --> 00:01:59,200
and we'll be trying our luck again for this weekend.

41
00:01:59,200 --> 00:02:01,040
I have a juicy one in mind, bro.

42
00:02:01,040 --> 00:02:01,600
Nice.

43
00:02:01,600 --> 00:02:03,560
I just think it should be one bet for this one.

44
00:02:03,560 --> 00:02:04,800
Yes, yes, one bet.

45
00:02:04,800 --> 00:02:07,000
Napoli to beat Fiorentino.

46
00:02:07,000 --> 00:02:08,800
Odds were like 2.25, and I checked.

47
00:02:08,800 --> 00:02:10,440
Fiorentino were poor.

48
00:02:10,440 --> 00:02:12,880
Fiorentino were poor and Napoli have been inspired.

49
00:02:12,880 --> 00:02:19,040
But Napoli have faced weak opponents so far in Verona and Monza.

50
00:02:19,040 --> 00:02:21,520
But they put, what, nine positive votes combined.

51
00:02:21,520 --> 00:02:23,440
And they conceded two against Verona,

52
00:02:23,440 --> 00:02:25,400
but we know how Verona are going forward.

53
00:02:25,400 --> 00:02:28,960
It's their defensive ability that's kind of questionable.

54
00:02:28,960 --> 00:02:32,040
But yeah, before we go into match day by match day,

55
00:02:32,040 --> 00:02:34,640
we just want to read out all of the results that

56
00:02:34,640 --> 00:02:39,840
have taken place in this match day.

57
00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:42,960
Basically, Atalanta drew 1-1 at home

58
00:02:42,960 --> 00:02:44,800
against the champions in Milan.

59
00:02:44,800 --> 00:02:47,680
Inter cruised 3-0 against Spezia.

60
00:02:47,680 --> 00:02:49,920
Napoli cruised past newly promoted Monza

61
00:02:49,920 --> 00:02:51,440
with a score of 4-0.

62
00:02:51,440 --> 00:02:53,240
Samp drew 0-0 to Juve.

63
00:02:53,240 --> 00:02:56,720
Roma edged past newly promoted Cremona 1-0.

64
00:02:56,720 --> 00:02:59,840
Torino held Lazio 2-0-0 draw in Turin.

65
00:02:59,840 --> 00:03:02,800
Empoli 0-0 Fiorentina 0-0 in the derby.

66
00:03:02,800 --> 00:03:04,720
Sasuolo beat Lecce 1-0.

67
00:03:04,720 --> 00:03:06,480
Bologna drew 1-1 to Verona.

68
00:03:06,480 --> 00:03:09,040
Udinese came 0-0 to Salernitana.

69
00:03:09,040 --> 00:03:11,560
So it's kind of like the old school

70
00:03:11,560 --> 00:03:15,080
say-ah thing, no, the whole, oh, boring defensive league,

71
00:03:15,080 --> 00:03:16,720
because there aren't many goals the same.

72
00:03:16,720 --> 00:03:19,040
But this isn't to say that we know nowadays, huh?

73
00:03:19,040 --> 00:03:19,880
Absolutely not.

74
00:03:19,880 --> 00:03:22,760
It was quite bizarre that there were barely any goals.

75
00:03:22,760 --> 00:03:24,520
To be honest, I feel like many teams are still

76
00:03:24,520 --> 00:03:28,280
feeling their squad out, trying things out.

77
00:03:28,280 --> 00:03:31,520
I feel like they haven't settled yet.

78
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:33,000
It's odd, because the first match,

79
00:03:33,000 --> 00:03:35,040
they brought us around 35 goals.

80
00:03:35,040 --> 00:03:37,040
The first match, they literally brought us

81
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:38,200
a mental amount of goals.

82
00:03:38,200 --> 00:03:40,480
And this match, they brought us, what, 17 goals.

83
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:43,960
So this was one of the quieter match days,

84
00:03:43,960 --> 00:03:47,680
this season for sure, during the first two match days.

85
00:03:47,680 --> 00:03:51,280
But yes, sometimes, I mean, we were saying all the encounters

86
00:03:51,280 --> 00:03:54,040
were pretty close when it comes to quality.

87
00:03:54,040 --> 00:03:56,440
You look at, for example, Bologna and Verona,

88
00:03:56,440 --> 00:03:57,360
very equal on paper.

89
00:03:57,360 --> 00:03:59,920
Atalanta and Milan, very equal on paper.

90
00:03:59,920 --> 00:04:03,160
Samp and Juve, Rom and Cremona, they may not be equal on paper.

91
00:04:03,160 --> 00:04:06,480
But judging by the performances and judging by the stage

92
00:04:06,480 --> 00:04:08,880
that they were on, they would have been closer

93
00:04:08,880 --> 00:04:10,400
than people would have imagined.

94
00:04:10,400 --> 00:04:13,120
So yeah, a lot of draws is, at the end of the day,

95
00:04:13,120 --> 00:04:15,560
what was anticipated going into this, I would say.

96
00:04:15,560 --> 00:04:17,040
We have many tighter fears.

97
00:04:17,040 --> 00:04:19,400
In fact, we found it difficult to place a bet.

98
00:04:19,400 --> 00:04:21,480
You mentioned quality.

99
00:04:21,480 --> 00:04:22,360
Yes, I agree.

100
00:04:22,360 --> 00:04:25,840
We had, in goals, quality over quantity.

101
00:04:25,840 --> 00:04:26,720
Exactly.

102
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,240
Because picking the goal of the week was a difficult task.

103
00:04:31,240 --> 00:04:35,120
So we eventually went for Guvaras against Monzatputnamuandil.

104
00:04:35,120 --> 00:04:38,240
I'm going to avoid saying his full name, Guvaraxelio.

105
00:04:38,240 --> 00:04:41,760
Vica Guvaraxelio, as far as I'm concerned.

106
00:04:41,760 --> 00:04:42,320
That's the one.

107
00:04:42,320 --> 00:04:43,520
We just call him Guvaradona.

108
00:04:43,520 --> 00:04:46,760
We're all Guvarasexual over here.

109
00:04:46,760 --> 00:04:48,920
Yes, his goal was, in our opinion, the best one.

110
00:04:48,920 --> 00:04:52,320
It was a long discussion between his and, of course, Baradis.

111
00:04:52,320 --> 00:04:53,440
What do you think, bro?

112
00:04:53,440 --> 00:04:57,400
So I think Guvaras takes the cake for the movement

113
00:04:57,400 --> 00:04:59,800
that he had before the goal and the way

114
00:04:59,800 --> 00:05:03,640
that the ball dipped and curled and went in off the post.

115
00:05:03,640 --> 00:05:06,320
And I think it was more visually aesthetic.

116
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:09,880
Baradis, although he caught it on a half volley from distance.

117
00:05:09,880 --> 00:05:12,680
And it was coming down from way up.

118
00:05:12,680 --> 00:05:14,080
It was a fantastic goal.

119
00:05:14,080 --> 00:05:15,520
Take nothing away from that.

120
00:05:15,520 --> 00:05:19,400
I just thought Guvaras was a little bit more easy on the eye,

121
00:05:19,400 --> 00:05:20,000
so to say.

122
00:05:20,000 --> 00:05:21,200
Yeah, he took a man on as well.

123
00:05:21,200 --> 00:05:22,720
That's too nice to watch.

124
00:05:22,720 --> 00:05:25,720
You know, honorable mentions to Ben Nasser for his amazing

125
00:05:25,720 --> 00:05:26,600
goal against Akharan Tategim.

126
00:05:26,600 --> 00:05:28,760
Commentary, is that what was he saying again?

127
00:05:28,760 --> 00:05:30,160
Clean up Nile 3!

128
00:05:30,160 --> 00:05:35,160
It's so good.

129
00:05:35,160 --> 00:05:36,280
These Americans, man.

130
00:05:36,280 --> 00:05:38,960
We'll post something about that on TikTok, which I think we did.

131
00:05:38,960 --> 00:05:39,880
I think we posted it.

132
00:05:39,880 --> 00:05:41,640
I went for the Arabic commentary.

133
00:05:41,640 --> 00:05:42,720
Yes, over that.

134
00:05:42,720 --> 00:05:44,800
Yeah, man, I love Arabic commentary.

135
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:46,960
I love Arabic commentators.

136
00:05:46,960 --> 00:05:48,240
Arabic commentators.

137
00:05:48,240 --> 00:05:49,920
When Mbappe scores a goal.

138
00:05:49,920 --> 00:05:52,920
No, that's French commentators, but even the Arabic ones, to be honest.

139
00:05:52,920 --> 00:05:55,520
YOLO!

140
00:05:55,520 --> 00:05:58,800
Shout out as well to Arnautovic's goal, executing some beautiful

141
00:05:58,800 --> 00:06:00,240
champagne football over there.

142
00:06:00,240 --> 00:06:01,400
Bologna were amazing there.

143
00:06:01,400 --> 00:06:04,200
They looked like fucking Barcelona on TikTok.

144
00:06:04,200 --> 00:06:05,760
Bologna look good this year, man.

145
00:06:05,760 --> 00:06:09,840
But we will get into all of this in a few minutes.

146
00:06:09,840 --> 00:06:13,680
But I think it's time we started going through each matchday.

147
00:06:13,680 --> 00:06:14,640
Let's do it, bro.

148
00:06:14,640 --> 00:06:18,840
So the matchday, well, this weekend wasn't started off by Atalanta-Milan,

149
00:06:18,840 --> 00:06:23,000
but this was the first massive encounter between two top seven teams

150
00:06:23,000 --> 00:06:24,960
that this season was to see.

151
00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:28,600
And coming into this game, Milan had beaten Atalanta on all three

152
00:06:28,600 --> 00:06:29,760
previous occasions.

153
00:06:29,760 --> 00:06:33,320
Before that, Milan hadn't gotten three points against Atalanta

154
00:06:33,320 --> 00:06:36,200
in ten whole matchdays.

155
00:06:36,200 --> 00:06:41,720
So it's either one way or another, or so we thought, because this match ended 1-1.

156
00:06:41,720 --> 00:06:48,960
So the scoring was opened in the 29th minute by the injured and on the market,

157
00:06:48,960 --> 00:06:53,440
attacking midfielder, the Ukrainian Ruslan Malinovskiy.

158
00:06:53,440 --> 00:06:56,320
He was totally unmarked outside the area.

159
00:06:56,320 --> 00:06:59,880
You do not leave a man like Ruslan Malinovskiy and his left foot alone

160
00:06:59,880 --> 00:07:00,960
outside the area.

161
00:07:00,960 --> 00:07:04,720
He was spotted by Mele, and the first time shot took a slight deflection

162
00:07:04,720 --> 00:07:09,520
of Kalula, which was enough to just take the ball a pinch over Mannyan.

163
00:07:09,520 --> 00:07:10,680
Nothing he could do about it.

164
00:07:10,680 --> 00:07:12,440
He was so close to saving that.

165
00:07:12,440 --> 00:07:15,720
I feel like if Kalula hadn't moved, he blocks it.

166
00:07:15,720 --> 00:07:16,800
I think so.

167
00:07:16,800 --> 00:07:17,800
I think so.

168
00:07:17,800 --> 00:07:20,080
I see him exert himself, and it actually works against him.

169
00:07:20,080 --> 00:07:24,400
And then there's the debate of who should have been on Malinovskiy.

170
00:07:24,400 --> 00:07:25,600
That is the debate.

171
00:07:25,600 --> 00:07:27,080
I think it might have been Tonali.

172
00:07:27,080 --> 00:07:28,840
Tonali, 100%.

173
00:07:28,840 --> 00:07:29,800
I think it might have been.

174
00:07:29,800 --> 00:07:31,480
I don't feel like there was a reason to.

175
00:07:31,480 --> 00:07:34,840
Now, of course, this is the layman's opinion,

176
00:07:34,840 --> 00:07:39,200
but I don't feel like there was the need to double mark Duvan Zapata on that point.

177
00:07:39,200 --> 00:07:40,400
Not in that situation.

178
00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:44,720
At least keep an eye on Duvan, but cut the passing lane or the shooting lane.

179
00:07:44,720 --> 00:07:45,240
You know what I mean?

180
00:07:45,240 --> 00:07:48,080
The thing is, he was double marked when Mele was on the ball.

181
00:07:48,080 --> 00:07:51,560
They must have been anticipating an early cross into the near post.

182
00:07:51,560 --> 00:07:52,240
You know what I mean?

183
00:07:52,240 --> 00:07:53,480
So they were man marking him.

184
00:07:53,480 --> 00:07:56,240
But once the ball goes to Ruslan, adapt, please.

185
00:07:56,240 --> 00:07:57,240
Fucking hell.

186
00:07:57,240 --> 00:08:00,920
Yeah, so this is the second time this season in two matchdays

187
00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:04,680
that Milan started the game off 1-0 down.

188
00:08:04,680 --> 00:08:07,040
Then between the 58th and 66th minute,

189
00:08:07,040 --> 00:08:09,960
Milan pretty much replaced all of the players that had a bit of a stinker.

190
00:08:09,960 --> 00:08:10,480
Let's be real.

191
00:08:10,480 --> 00:08:12,640
And that was all of the attacking players.

192
00:08:12,640 --> 00:08:16,640
So it was Brahim, Rebic, Messias and Liao out.

193
00:08:16,640 --> 00:08:18,200
Rebic didn't really have a stinker.

194
00:08:18,200 --> 00:08:19,880
The rest kind of did.

195
00:08:19,880 --> 00:08:23,960
The Catelar, Giroud, Salamakars and Divock, Origi all coming on.

196
00:08:23,960 --> 00:08:28,400
So we got to see the Catelar and Origi getting some significant minutes over there.

197
00:08:28,400 --> 00:08:31,960
It was, however, then in the 69th minute, the attacking players weren't enough.

198
00:08:31,960 --> 00:08:34,120
It was Ismael Ben Nasser that stepped up.

199
00:08:34,120 --> 00:08:39,160
He smacked a peach of a strike in off the post after dragging the ball past

200
00:08:39,160 --> 00:08:41,560
Koup Miner's leaving Mussor rooted to the spot.

201
00:08:41,560 --> 00:08:44,120
It was one of those moments for Ben Nasser.

202
00:08:44,120 --> 00:08:45,440
He had one last year.

203
00:08:45,440 --> 00:08:48,240
I forgot again. So I think Bologna was it.

204
00:08:48,240 --> 00:08:50,160
And this time he stepped up again.

205
00:08:50,160 --> 00:08:53,680
What a goal by Ben Nasser and what a performance overall.

206
00:08:53,680 --> 00:08:55,640
The man can do it all in midfield.

207
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:59,560
Every single thing you want him to do in midfield, he is capable of doing.

208
00:08:59,560 --> 00:09:00,240
I love the man.

209
00:09:00,240 --> 00:09:01,880
Yeah.

210
00:09:01,880 --> 00:09:06,040
First of all, it's funny to see how Koup Miner's always struggles against Milan.

211
00:09:06,040 --> 00:09:06,880
Yeah.

212
00:09:06,880 --> 00:09:10,600
He gets destroyed every time we meet them.

213
00:09:10,600 --> 00:09:14,640
Ben Nasser had an absolute master class of a performance.

214
00:09:14,640 --> 00:09:16,240
He was the dictator.

215
00:09:16,240 --> 00:09:21,080
He was way, way, he looked way sharper than anyone else on the pitch, in my opinion.

216
00:09:21,080 --> 00:09:23,040
A total standout performance.

217
00:09:23,040 --> 00:09:24,560
A step ahead constantly.

218
00:09:24,560 --> 00:09:26,720
Better in every single aspect.

219
00:09:26,720 --> 00:09:34,400
Tonali looked a step behind, in my opinion, like he's not fully fit, which makes sense.

220
00:09:34,400 --> 00:09:40,920
Ibrahim Diaz, Rebic and Messias did deserve to start.

221
00:09:40,920 --> 00:09:41,320
Agree.

222
00:09:41,320 --> 00:09:43,040
Because they had a good first day.

223
00:09:43,040 --> 00:09:45,440
And how do you bench them after a performance like that?

224
00:09:45,440 --> 00:09:48,560
Go ahead, Ibrahim with a goal and then assist, Rebic with two goals.

225
00:09:48,560 --> 00:09:51,360
Messias with the preseason he had, difficult to bench them.

226
00:09:51,360 --> 00:09:52,880
So they were under their spot.

227
00:09:52,880 --> 00:09:53,840
They disappointed.

228
00:09:53,840 --> 00:09:54,600
They were replaced.

229
00:09:54,600 --> 00:09:58,640
This is the whole nature of the game.

230
00:09:58,640 --> 00:09:59,640
Yeah.

231
00:09:59,640 --> 00:10:04,240
You know, I think a good point to bring up is that obviously,

232
00:10:04,240 --> 00:10:08,240
these guys, if you were to watch the game, you'd be like, OK, they were kind of shit.

233
00:10:08,240 --> 00:10:13,040
But what some people, what some casual, maybe football fans, people that aren't really into

234
00:10:13,040 --> 00:10:18,480
Serie A, would have noticed is that Atalanta totally changed their approach coming into this game.

235
00:10:18,480 --> 00:10:21,840
They sat much deeper than they normally do.

236
00:10:21,840 --> 00:10:26,240
And they understand that Milan do tend to struggle against teams that sit deeper.

237
00:10:26,240 --> 00:10:27,040
Why?

238
00:10:27,040 --> 00:10:33,040
Because they can cope with Milan's quick transitions, their switch in play style,

239
00:10:33,040 --> 00:10:35,280
their little one-twos down the wing.

240
00:10:35,280 --> 00:10:36,640
They were sat back.

241
00:10:36,640 --> 00:10:43,280
They were not conservative, but they were capable of absorbing the pressure just by sitting back a little bit more.

242
00:10:43,280 --> 00:10:44,640
Yeah, it's true, bro.

243
00:10:44,640 --> 00:10:48,240
I've never seen Gasparini hold the fort like this.

244
00:10:48,240 --> 00:10:53,040
There was one instance actually last year in a draw against Lazio where they had no play.

245
00:10:53,040 --> 00:10:54,800
Oh, yeah, the nil-nil.

246
00:10:54,800 --> 00:10:57,600
That was the nil-nil last quarter of the season, I believe.

247
00:10:57,600 --> 00:10:59,360
I remember him sitting back in that one.

248
00:10:59,360 --> 00:11:00,880
And to be honest, I hadn't seen it since.

249
00:11:00,880 --> 00:11:03,040
And even when they're quite thin, they like to attack.

250
00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:05,520
But this time the approach was completely different.

251
00:11:05,520 --> 00:11:11,920
And good job on Gasparini, to be honest with you, because he did outsmart Piolli in the first half, especially.

252
00:11:11,920 --> 00:11:12,800
Yeah.

253
00:11:12,800 --> 00:11:14,080
It seems like they couldn't cope.

254
00:11:14,080 --> 00:11:18,480
Bro, a controversial debate right now is on Leal.

255
00:11:18,480 --> 00:11:19,360
OK.

256
00:11:19,360 --> 00:11:22,640
Do you think his performance was that bad?

257
00:11:22,640 --> 00:11:25,840
I don't think his performance was that bad.

258
00:11:25,840 --> 00:11:30,480
I think in the beginning, he was the only one that was managing to get him behind the defense.

259
00:11:30,480 --> 00:11:31,520
He was literally the only one behind.

260
00:11:31,520 --> 00:11:34,400
He was getting behind Toloi pretty well.

261
00:11:34,400 --> 00:11:41,200
In the final third, sometimes I still believe there were certain instances where perhaps he should have squared the ball.

262
00:11:41,200 --> 00:11:46,400
Even if there was no one available, you put it there and something can happen.

263
00:11:46,400 --> 00:11:50,640
He took a couple of shots from wide angles that maybe he shouldn't have taken.

264
00:11:50,640 --> 00:11:54,400
But at the end of the day, he was the man getting into the final third.

265
00:11:54,400 --> 00:12:00,160
Sure, the quality, the output wasn't there, but still his raw talent is still so significant.

266
00:12:00,160 --> 00:12:09,600
And once he maybe doesn't have the best decisions in a game, his skill and his quality there with his natural ability is still enough.

267
00:12:09,600 --> 00:12:17,760
Well, not enough, but still enough to kind of bring something to Milan's team going forward when no one else is doing it.

268
00:12:17,760 --> 00:12:19,920
He's still capable of getting around his man.

269
00:12:19,920 --> 00:12:20,880
You know what I mean?

270
00:12:20,880 --> 00:12:21,440
Totally.

271
00:12:21,440 --> 00:12:24,080
A totally average performance by him, I would say.

272
00:12:24,080 --> 00:12:25,120
It's true.

273
00:12:25,120 --> 00:12:26,880
He was still the main offensive outlet.

274
00:12:26,880 --> 00:12:29,280
Of course, he had four shots.

275
00:12:29,280 --> 00:12:31,680
He should have won a red card, in my opinion.

276
00:12:31,680 --> 00:12:34,720
Hans Hattaber foul on him.

277
00:12:34,720 --> 00:12:35,680
That was terrible.

278
00:12:35,680 --> 00:12:39,040
Studs up, sliding in, you hear Leo screaming.

279
00:12:39,040 --> 00:12:40,160
I was like, Jesus Christ.

280
00:12:40,160 --> 00:12:40,720
Bro.

281
00:12:40,720 --> 00:12:42,640
I heard the scream.

282
00:12:42,640 --> 00:12:46,000
I looked at the TV and I expected to see his leg broken in two pieces.

283
00:12:46,000 --> 00:12:46,800
Literally, man.

284
00:12:46,800 --> 00:12:50,160
Literally, I was mortified when I heard his scream.

285
00:12:50,160 --> 00:12:50,880
I've never heard Leo.

286
00:12:50,880 --> 00:12:52,480
It was like two screams.

287
00:12:52,480 --> 00:12:55,360
Yeah, maybe.

288
00:12:55,360 --> 00:12:59,840
Peter Griffin.

289
00:12:59,840 --> 00:13:00,800
But yeah, poor guy.

290
00:13:00,800 --> 00:13:02,880
But he's a dangerous player, man.

291
00:13:02,880 --> 00:13:04,080
He's a very dangerous player.

292
00:13:04,080 --> 00:13:10,320
But speaking of dangerous players, when Milan made those substitutions, one man that significantly

293
00:13:10,320 --> 00:13:14,400
fucking stood out is Charles de Quetelare, by the way.

294
00:13:14,400 --> 00:13:15,120
That's how you say it.

295
00:13:15,120 --> 00:13:17,360
It's de Quetelare, apparently.

296
00:13:17,360 --> 00:13:20,320
I did not know that, but he said in an interview.

297
00:13:20,320 --> 00:13:22,640
Apparently, it sounds worse, in my opinion.

298
00:13:22,640 --> 00:13:24,240
How good does he look, man?

299
00:13:24,240 --> 00:13:25,680
In the Treco Artista role.

300
00:13:25,680 --> 00:13:26,320
He looks good, yes.

301
00:13:26,320 --> 00:13:27,440
In the attacking midfield role.

302
00:13:27,440 --> 00:13:34,080
There are talks that purely might shift everything to a 4-3-1-2 with de Quetelare as the...

303
00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,320
What would Leo be as striker?

304
00:13:36,320 --> 00:13:39,040
I guess Leo would play as a second striker with Giroud.

305
00:13:39,840 --> 00:13:44,480
Rebic would be the alternative to Leo and Origi would be the alternative to Giroud.

306
00:13:44,480 --> 00:13:48,800
Yeah, because Origi alongside Leo and then doesn't sound like something fancy.

307
00:13:48,800 --> 00:13:52,320
But then it gives you Tonali Benassaradli in the middle.

308
00:13:52,320 --> 00:13:55,120
Tonali Benassaradli, oh my god.

309
00:13:55,120 --> 00:13:56,560
And that sounds juicy.

310
00:13:56,560 --> 00:13:59,600
Or even fucking Pobega, dog, in that position.

311
00:13:59,600 --> 00:14:03,440
When it comes to balance, Pobega might be fucking monstrous over there.

312
00:14:03,440 --> 00:14:03,940
It's true.

313
00:14:04,560 --> 00:14:07,760
But there are also some French...

314
00:14:07,760 --> 00:14:09,440
There's a French target, I forgot his name.

315
00:14:09,440 --> 00:14:10,160
Onana.

316
00:14:10,160 --> 00:14:11,600
Onana, that's his name.

317
00:14:11,600 --> 00:14:12,160
He needs being linked.

318
00:14:12,160 --> 00:14:14,000
Onana, that's his name.

319
00:14:14,000 --> 00:14:15,120
The best Onana in Milan.

320
00:14:16,560 --> 00:14:18,960
No, but he was so good, de Quetelare, I mean...

321
00:14:18,960 --> 00:14:22,080
I thought he was really good the second he came on because he played someone through

322
00:14:22,080 --> 00:14:24,160
and then he disappeared quite frankly, bro, in my opinion.

323
00:14:24,960 --> 00:14:25,920
Not really, man.

324
00:14:25,920 --> 00:14:26,560
I don't know, man.

325
00:14:26,560 --> 00:14:26,960
Not really.

326
00:14:26,960 --> 00:14:28,400
He had a couple of good passes.

327
00:14:28,400 --> 00:14:32,320
He dragged the ball forward very well as well in certain situations.

328
00:14:32,320 --> 00:14:33,920
He won a few fouls as well.

329
00:14:33,920 --> 00:14:38,400
I think for the, what, 30 minutes of play, 25 minutes of play that he got,

330
00:14:38,400 --> 00:14:39,520
he was fantastic, man.

331
00:14:39,520 --> 00:14:40,560
He was really, really good.

332
00:14:40,560 --> 00:14:41,680
I mean, I thought he was okay.

333
00:14:41,680 --> 00:14:43,680
You know, I wouldn't say he was fantastic.

334
00:14:44,240 --> 00:14:51,440
Actually, I'd say that his performance kind of helps Brahim Diaz's case.

335
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:55,840
Because, you know, Brahim Diaz, again, was quite invisible.

336
00:14:55,840 --> 00:14:57,040
He was hard to notice.

337
00:14:57,040 --> 00:15:01,520
And again, apart from that one play where de Quetelare played,

338
00:15:01,520 --> 00:15:04,960
I forgot who it was, he played someone through.

339
00:15:06,080 --> 00:15:10,480
I don't think he did much more, bro, than that, to be honest with you, man.

340
00:15:11,120 --> 00:15:13,840
I think he had a couple of good forward passes.

341
00:15:13,840 --> 00:15:15,600
I think he dragged the ball forward well.

342
00:15:15,600 --> 00:15:21,040
I think he was mature in his decision-making so much so that Milan fans and interviewers

343
00:15:21,040 --> 00:15:24,480
as well were raving about his performance after they brought it up to Piole.

344
00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:25,840
They're like, is he going to start next to him?

345
00:15:25,840 --> 00:15:29,120
It's like, look, just let him get used to his teammates,

346
00:15:29,120 --> 00:15:31,520
let him get used to the system a little bit more.

347
00:15:31,520 --> 00:15:34,160
I'll say what he's saying is once that is done, then he's in.

348
00:15:34,160 --> 00:15:35,440
He has to, exactly.

349
00:15:35,440 --> 00:15:38,960
He just needs as little pressure as possible right now,

350
00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:42,960
which is extremely difficult when you're playing at sun zero, for example,

351
00:15:42,960 --> 00:15:46,160
you know, with 80,000 people watching you and all of the fucking,

352
00:15:46,160 --> 00:15:47,680
the whole world talking about you.

353
00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:49,920
You know, Milan draw a lot of attention from the media as well.

354
00:15:49,920 --> 00:15:51,440
It tends to be negative attention.

355
00:15:51,440 --> 00:15:55,760
So I bet, you know, two more games without him really asserting himself and then start.

356
00:15:56,560 --> 00:15:58,640
Flop, worst signing of the season.

357
00:15:58,640 --> 00:16:00,560
That's not a bad shit, you know.

358
00:16:00,560 --> 00:16:01,280
Literally.

359
00:16:01,280 --> 00:16:03,680
We saw Origi get a couple of good minutes as well.

360
00:16:03,680 --> 00:16:05,920
Yeah, he broke James City's leg, which was lovely to see.

361
00:16:07,120 --> 00:16:11,520
He was being played out wide so we didn't really get to see much of him,

362
00:16:11,520 --> 00:16:15,840
especially since most of the play once Liao came out, shifted to the middle

363
00:16:15,840 --> 00:16:17,440
and shifted to Salah Makar as his side,

364
00:16:17,440 --> 00:16:21,520
so we didn't get to see much of Origi going forward and gave the ball away at some point.

365
00:16:21,520 --> 00:16:24,240
And it was dumb the way he gave the ball away.

366
00:16:24,240 --> 00:16:25,360
It pissed me off a little bit.

367
00:16:26,320 --> 00:16:31,680
But otherwise, yeah, nothing really to say about Origi's performance so far.

368
00:16:31,680 --> 00:16:33,280
Let's shift to Atalanta a little bit.

369
00:16:34,000 --> 00:16:36,880
Malinovsky, obviously, I mentioned that he started the game

370
00:16:36,880 --> 00:16:38,160
while he's carrying an injury.

371
00:16:38,160 --> 00:16:41,920
He still managed to score and Gasparini still insists that he's for sale.

372
00:16:41,920 --> 00:16:45,040
He says he wants someone to score more than six goals a year.

373
00:16:45,040 --> 00:16:45,520
Yeah.

374
00:16:45,520 --> 00:16:51,120
Do you think Atalanta would be making a mistake by offloading Ruslan Malinovsky?

375
00:16:51,120 --> 00:16:55,520
So Atalanta hardly ever make mistakes when it comes to selling players, man.

376
00:16:56,160 --> 00:16:57,920
They always seem to get a good markup.

377
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:00,000
They always seem to find adequate replacements.

378
00:17:00,000 --> 00:17:05,680
Now, Gasparini saying he wants someone who scores more than six goals a season.

379
00:17:06,880 --> 00:17:09,680
Was that just an attempt to rile Malinovsky up

380
00:17:10,960 --> 00:17:13,040
to perform better at this game, to prove him wrong?

381
00:17:13,600 --> 00:17:14,560
That's very likely.

382
00:17:14,560 --> 00:17:18,240
Or was it a bitter statement to someone who's forcing himself out?

383
00:17:18,240 --> 00:17:23,200
I guess time might tell or it might deceive, quite frankly, but we'll see.

384
00:17:23,760 --> 00:17:27,120
Yeah, those are good points you bring up, man.

385
00:17:27,120 --> 00:17:31,120
I think what you mentioned about them finding adequate replacements,

386
00:17:31,120 --> 00:17:33,520
I still think they miss someone like Papu Gomez, man.

387
00:17:33,520 --> 00:17:36,320
He wants someone to score more than six goals in midfield.

388
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:37,360
Papu Gomez.

389
00:17:37,360 --> 00:17:38,720
Stop squaring up with them, man.

390
00:17:38,720 --> 00:17:46,880
He had the guy and he was just fucking fighting.

391
00:17:47,840 --> 00:17:50,480
Apparently, you remember he punched them.

392
00:17:50,480 --> 00:17:51,760
There was something like that.

393
00:17:51,760 --> 00:17:53,920
It was like an open fist punch.

394
00:17:53,920 --> 00:17:56,400
Like it was like kind of head back, but not.

395
00:17:56,400 --> 00:17:57,280
How fucking weird.

396
00:17:57,280 --> 00:17:58,800
That was a fever dream, man.

397
00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:02,640
It was like the Bonoccio Allegri one in the Champions League final against Real.

398
00:18:02,640 --> 00:18:04,240
You get some of these, man.

399
00:18:04,240 --> 00:18:05,040
It's true.

400
00:18:05,040 --> 00:18:07,200
One more thing I'd like to mention about Milan, by the way.

401
00:18:07,200 --> 00:18:11,360
I know we're going back to Milan, but it was Theo Hernandez's last second tackle

402
00:18:12,320 --> 00:18:13,440
on the break, bro.

403
00:18:13,440 --> 00:18:14,640
That was insane.

404
00:18:14,640 --> 00:18:16,800
Theo Hernandez, I should have made a note about.

405
00:18:16,800 --> 00:18:18,640
This is the best left back in the world.

406
00:18:18,640 --> 00:18:19,600
Probably, bro.

407
00:18:19,600 --> 00:18:23,200
Bro, name, name, name, name someone that's kind of better than him.

408
00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:28,080
I mean, you think of the Shouts, there's Robertson, you know, that they talk about.

409
00:18:30,080 --> 00:18:32,480
But Cancelo's inverted on the right nowadays as he can't.

410
00:18:33,600 --> 00:18:34,320
I don't think so.

411
00:18:34,320 --> 00:18:36,720
There is what's his name as well, the Bayern Munich one,

412
00:18:36,720 --> 00:18:37,680
Alfonso Davies.

413
00:18:37,680 --> 00:18:38,800
Alfonso Davies.

414
00:18:38,800 --> 00:18:40,960
Theo Hernandez is just way more established than these guys.

415
00:18:40,960 --> 00:18:43,840
I think Theo literally put him on the biggest stages in the world

416
00:18:43,840 --> 00:18:46,160
and he shows you that he's the best left back in the world.

417
00:18:46,160 --> 00:18:48,800
He has grown a lot from two seasons ago, man.

418
00:18:48,800 --> 00:18:49,280
It's true.

419
00:18:49,280 --> 00:18:51,280
Where he was a blind horse.

420
00:18:51,280 --> 00:18:55,360
But now he's a fucking, he's a horse with the brain of a dolphin.

421
00:18:55,360 --> 00:18:56,560
That's what Theo Hernandez is.

422
00:18:56,560 --> 00:18:58,160
He's become intelligent, man.

423
00:18:58,160 --> 00:19:02,160
It's match day two, so I hope we won't see any of those weird passes at the back

424
00:19:02,160 --> 00:19:03,680
or those weird skill moves at the back.

425
00:19:03,680 --> 00:19:05,760
Where he tries to scoop turn at the back and they end up on one.

426
00:19:05,760 --> 00:19:07,600
But yeah, he had a fantastic tackle.

427
00:19:08,240 --> 00:19:08,960
That's the thing, bro.

428
00:19:08,960 --> 00:19:12,720
Right now you look at Milan's defense, you look at Theo Hernandez, Tomori, Kalulu and Calabria.

429
00:19:12,720 --> 00:19:16,560
They're all extremely mobile, which really suits Milan's play style.

430
00:19:18,240 --> 00:19:21,120
Milan get caught on the break quite a bit because Milan like to hold the ball.

431
00:19:21,120 --> 00:19:22,160
They like to play the ball around.

432
00:19:22,160 --> 00:19:24,720
They like to push forward, push numbers up the pitch.

433
00:19:24,720 --> 00:19:28,880
So like in match day one, we saw Kalulu's recovery on Deleuze, which was amazing.

434
00:19:28,880 --> 00:19:30,720
Match day two, we saw Theo Hernandez's.

435
00:19:30,720 --> 00:19:32,080
These guys are very capable, man.

436
00:19:32,080 --> 00:19:34,240
And we'll see Tomori's and we'll see Calabria's.

437
00:19:34,240 --> 00:19:39,200
And on the break, you know, you're not quite clean through when you think you're clean through against Milan.

438
00:19:39,200 --> 00:19:40,160
That's true.

439
00:19:40,160 --> 00:19:44,160
Shifting again was back to Atalanta and their defense.

440
00:19:44,160 --> 00:19:46,080
It seems like they're going to have some woes moving forward.

441
00:19:46,080 --> 00:19:48,960
Like you mentioned, Jim City is now injured.

442
00:19:48,960 --> 00:19:50,240
He pulled something, I believe.

443
00:19:50,240 --> 00:19:51,200
No, he broke.

444
00:19:51,200 --> 00:19:52,320
I think he fractured his leg.

445
00:19:52,320 --> 00:19:52,960
His tip.

446
00:19:52,960 --> 00:19:53,520
It was his tip, yeah.

447
00:19:53,520 --> 00:19:55,840
No, no, that's Wijnaldum.

448
00:19:55,840 --> 00:19:56,960
Yeah, that's Wijnaldum.

449
00:19:56,960 --> 00:19:57,360
My bad.

450
00:19:57,360 --> 00:19:58,320
What's his name?

451
00:19:58,320 --> 00:20:00,560
Origi went to shoot the ball.

452
00:20:00,560 --> 00:20:02,080
Yeah, he kicked the back of his leg.

453
00:20:02,080 --> 00:20:05,120
He kicked, yeah, I think when the shin, he might have kicked him in the shin.

454
00:20:05,120 --> 00:20:07,840
The mirror, not the mirror, sorry, Jim City.

455
00:20:07,840 --> 00:20:12,320
And the corner was given quite frankly, when it was a clear foul, which was quite funny.

456
00:20:12,960 --> 00:20:14,400
But yeah, I wish him well.

457
00:20:14,400 --> 00:20:15,040
He had a really good game.

458
00:20:15,040 --> 00:20:15,680
He's a good defender.

459
00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:17,040
He's a very good defender, Jim City.

460
00:20:17,600 --> 00:20:20,880
Atalanta are going to have to make due without him for the next couple of weeks.

461
00:20:20,880 --> 00:20:25,680
And Palomino as well, who's still suspended because he like eats horse tranquilizer for breakfast.

462
00:20:26,800 --> 00:20:29,840
Yeah, his performance enhancing drugs.

463
00:20:29,840 --> 00:20:35,840
Okoli is the man who should be called upon to replace these people at centre back for Atalanta.

464
00:20:35,840 --> 00:20:38,320
He's a very promising youngster, centre back told.

465
00:20:40,160 --> 00:20:43,360
He has the makings of a good centre back on the map and you will be seeing a lot of him.

466
00:20:43,360 --> 00:20:46,400
Yeah, I thought Lukman came on and looked fucking fantastic.

467
00:20:46,400 --> 00:20:48,800
I thought he looked so fucking good, man, Lukman.

468
00:20:48,800 --> 00:20:51,120
He was scaring the fucking shit out of me.

469
00:20:51,120 --> 00:20:52,000
He was really good.

470
00:20:52,640 --> 00:20:55,520
Strong for his size as well, hard to take the ball off of.

471
00:20:56,160 --> 00:20:59,440
Yeah, I think he'll be big for Atalanta moving forward.

472
00:20:59,440 --> 00:21:02,640
Lastly, before we move on, is there anyone that deserved to win the game?

473
00:21:09,200 --> 00:21:09,520
Yes.

474
00:21:10,640 --> 00:21:13,280
Yes, Milan deserved to win the game.

475
00:21:13,280 --> 00:21:15,040
I mean, they had 60% ball possession.

476
00:21:15,040 --> 00:21:16,160
They outshot them.

477
00:21:16,160 --> 00:21:19,760
But you know what, man, at the same time, no, you know, I'm going to say a draw is a fair result.

478
00:21:19,760 --> 00:21:23,360
Actually, a draw is a fair result because we're mentioning 60% ball possession,

479
00:21:23,360 --> 00:21:27,360
but it's because Atalanta took that approach and sat back and that's what stopped Milan.

480
00:21:27,360 --> 00:21:27,840
Yes.

481
00:21:27,840 --> 00:21:31,680
So it's but then Milan did manage to get 18 shots away.

482
00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:32,640
You know what I mean?

483
00:21:32,640 --> 00:21:36,960
So it's tight if it had to stray to one side a little bit more.

484
00:21:36,960 --> 00:21:38,000
It's probably Milan.

485
00:21:38,000 --> 00:21:39,120
I think a draw is a fair result.

486
00:21:39,120 --> 00:21:40,320
And they had their chances.

487
00:21:40,320 --> 00:21:41,200
They had their chances.

488
00:21:41,200 --> 00:21:42,560
They missed the header, for example.

489
00:21:42,560 --> 00:21:44,960
There was a moment, man, Pasalic.

490
00:21:44,960 --> 00:21:46,720
Pasalic is one of my favorite fucking players.

491
00:21:48,720 --> 00:21:52,080
A long ball is played and it touches literally the touch line, the byline.

492
00:21:52,080 --> 00:21:52,400
Sorry.

493
00:21:52,400 --> 00:21:53,040
Yeah.

494
00:21:53,040 --> 00:21:56,640
And Pasalic barely has time to look up.

495
00:21:56,640 --> 00:21:58,160
He just kicks it like the ball is.

496
00:21:58,720 --> 00:21:59,680
It's about to go out.

497
00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:04,240
Like he kicks it perfectly, crosses into the box and whips it perfectly onto the man's head.

498
00:22:04,240 --> 00:22:05,280
It was insane.

499
00:22:05,280 --> 00:22:06,480
Like how is he so good?

500
00:22:06,480 --> 00:22:07,840
How does he know where everyone is?

501
00:22:07,840 --> 00:22:09,360
How much fucking weight to put on the pass?

502
00:22:09,360 --> 00:22:10,640
He's a really good player.

503
00:22:10,640 --> 00:22:11,120
Yeah.

504
00:22:11,120 --> 00:22:13,040
He's got eyes everywhere, Pasalic.

505
00:22:13,040 --> 00:22:15,760
He definitely has the technique to deliver.

506
00:22:15,760 --> 00:22:21,440
But yeah, that was the first match that we covered, obviously, Atalanta against Milan.

507
00:22:21,440 --> 00:22:24,400
1-1, decent result for both sides when you think about it.

508
00:22:24,400 --> 00:22:25,840
But off to the next game.

509
00:22:25,840 --> 00:22:27,040
Yes, sir.

510
00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:31,040
The next game was Inter 3-Spetsja nil.

511
00:22:31,040 --> 00:22:35,680
It was a positive result for Inter against the Spetsja side who have upset some of the

512
00:22:36,560 --> 00:22:38,960
bigger teams in the past, bro, quite frankly.

513
00:22:38,960 --> 00:22:40,320
And we saw them upset Milan.

514
00:22:40,320 --> 00:22:41,920
We've seen them upset, I believe, Napoli.

515
00:22:41,920 --> 00:22:42,960
It was as well.

516
00:22:42,960 --> 00:22:46,320
So this is a very good performance and result by Inter.

517
00:22:47,040 --> 00:22:51,280
Interestingly enough, though, Inter are unbeaten in all seven of their games against Spetsja.

518
00:22:51,280 --> 00:22:54,960
Across all competitions, they've got six wins and one draws.

519
00:22:54,960 --> 00:22:58,480
19 goals scored in the process and four conceded.

520
00:22:58,480 --> 00:22:59,520
Parallel.

521
00:22:59,520 --> 00:23:02,640
Now, there were two changes to the starting 11 from the first game.

522
00:23:02,640 --> 00:23:07,280
Bastoni and Dumfries were the two men who were introduced into the fray.

523
00:23:08,160 --> 00:23:12,640
Di Marco was deployed at left midfield this time, replacing Gossens.

524
00:23:12,640 --> 00:23:15,280
So he moved from left center back to left midfield.

525
00:23:15,280 --> 00:23:20,000
Bastoni started in the spot left by Di Marco and Dumfries started ahead of Darmion.

526
00:23:20,000 --> 00:23:21,280
Everything else looked ordinary.

527
00:23:21,280 --> 00:23:23,280
Spetsja lined up with the 3-5-2.

528
00:23:23,280 --> 00:23:27,040
They had the pairing of Inzola and Agudel up front.

529
00:23:27,040 --> 00:23:27,840
I like Agudel.

530
00:23:27,840 --> 00:23:30,640
He plays, he seems to play in a different position every time I watch him.

531
00:23:30,640 --> 00:23:36,480
And also interesting to see how Jazzy has been completely changed to a wingback right now.

532
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:37,520
It's a bit disappointing.

533
00:23:37,520 --> 00:23:39,200
I like him playing closer to goal, but.

534
00:23:39,200 --> 00:23:44,080
Yeah, he definitely has some, has some, you know, good qualities in front of goal and

535
00:23:44,080 --> 00:23:45,120
closer to goal.

536
00:23:45,120 --> 00:23:49,040
But he also has some great physical attributes that make him good in that position, bro.

537
00:23:49,040 --> 00:23:50,080
I just want to say that.

538
00:23:50,080 --> 00:23:53,760
I didn't read out the starting 11s for Atalanta Milan, but it's fine.

539
00:23:53,760 --> 00:23:54,240
It's fine.

540
00:23:54,240 --> 00:23:54,800
It's fine.

541
00:23:54,800 --> 00:23:55,600
I forgot about it.

542
00:23:57,120 --> 00:23:59,600
Let's run you through the play by play of this one very quickly.

543
00:23:59,600 --> 00:24:03,440
It was the 35th minute that Inter managed to open the scoring.

544
00:24:03,440 --> 00:24:05,600
It was quite a tight affair till then.

545
00:24:05,600 --> 00:24:11,840
It was Lautaro Martinez with a Lukaku assist after Barella played a long ball to Lukaku

546
00:24:11,840 --> 00:24:15,680
over the top, who headed it down to Lautaro, finished accurately in the bottom left from

547
00:24:15,680 --> 00:24:16,880
outside the area.

548
00:24:16,880 --> 00:24:18,640
Lula is back on the field.

549
00:24:18,640 --> 00:24:21,040
Lula is back, that's what you're calling Lula, no?

550
00:24:21,040 --> 00:24:22,080
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

551
00:24:22,080 --> 00:24:26,080
They are, they, seeing them link up like that brings back so many memories of two seasons

552
00:24:26,080 --> 00:24:26,640
ago, man.

553
00:24:26,640 --> 00:24:27,520
Yeah, nightmares.

554
00:24:30,080 --> 00:24:34,240
Charles Anoghlu was fortunate in the 52nd minute that the ball fell clumsily towards

555
00:24:34,240 --> 00:24:39,440
him after Kiwi Or decided to just clear it into his path and he stroked it past Drogowski,

556
00:24:39,440 --> 00:24:40,400
goal 2-0.

557
00:24:40,400 --> 00:24:44,480
And in the 82nd minute, Joachim Correa scored.

558
00:24:44,480 --> 00:24:46,080
A through ball was played to Zéacon.

559
00:24:46,080 --> 00:24:50,240
His touch was quite heavy, but his extraordinary technique quite frankly made up for it as he

560
00:24:50,240 --> 00:24:56,480
managed to get round Drogowski and squared it to Correa, who dribbled his man, tapped

561
00:24:56,480 --> 00:24:58,640
it in and blew Matthew a kiss.

562
00:24:58,640 --> 00:25:00,160
Oh, come on, man.

563
00:25:00,160 --> 00:25:01,920
Come on, come on.

564
00:25:01,920 --> 00:25:02,400
Well done.

565
00:25:02,400 --> 00:25:03,840
Did you win 26.5 million?

566
00:25:04,480 --> 00:25:05,520
Well done, bro, well done.

567
00:25:05,520 --> 00:25:09,600
He had to scoop the ball to the right and finish like into an empty net.

568
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:10,720
Come on.

569
00:25:10,720 --> 00:25:16,400
Spezia's only real chance, bro, came through Strelic in the second half.

570
00:25:16,400 --> 00:25:21,760
He found himself at the far post and to be honest, he should have scored a much better

571
00:25:21,760 --> 00:25:24,160
game by Inter, though, compared to the first one against Lecce.

572
00:25:24,160 --> 00:25:25,360
Oh, 100%.

573
00:25:25,360 --> 00:25:26,080
100%.

574
00:25:26,080 --> 00:25:32,320
And I think they must have faced a better side than Spezia, a side that are more experienced

575
00:25:32,320 --> 00:25:35,760
in Serie A, quite frankly, have better players.

576
00:25:35,760 --> 00:25:38,720
And yeah, they managed to cruise past them 3-0.

577
00:25:38,720 --> 00:25:43,840
Not only did they do that, but they outshot them 19 shots to 2 and they dominated possession

578
00:25:43,840 --> 00:25:46,640
with 55% possession to 45.

579
00:25:46,640 --> 00:25:53,040
Inter had one of their high press and high control matches with Brozovic at the heart

580
00:25:53,040 --> 00:25:53,840
of it all.

581
00:25:53,840 --> 00:26:00,720
They had their two strikers on top form at a point, Lukaku smacked the post.

582
00:26:01,360 --> 00:26:06,560
He smacked the post and obviously had that great assist on Martín as those guys just

583
00:26:06,560 --> 00:26:08,960
have a great understanding.

584
00:26:08,960 --> 00:26:12,480
So Inter had a near perfect performance against Spezia.

585
00:26:12,480 --> 00:26:13,200
I would agree.

586
00:26:13,920 --> 00:26:19,200
The difference, the main difference in my opinion being, of course, the introduction

587
00:26:19,200 --> 00:26:24,000
of Bastoni, who is not a northern centre-back.

588
00:26:24,880 --> 00:26:26,240
Bastoni is a regista.

589
00:26:27,520 --> 00:26:29,200
Bastoni is a ball player, man.

590
00:26:29,200 --> 00:26:31,680
Bastoni is a playmaker.

591
00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:34,400
He can whip a fucking ball, bro.

592
00:26:34,400 --> 00:26:35,840
And that is the point I want to mention.

593
00:26:35,840 --> 00:26:42,240
So Lukaku is back, but he is not the same Lukaku in my opinion.

594
00:26:42,240 --> 00:26:44,400
He is heavier, he is slower.

595
00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:50,880
He doesn't have that like, or at least he hasn't shown it, that he can kick the ball

596
00:26:50,880 --> 00:26:52,400
forward and outpace his man.

597
00:26:52,400 --> 00:26:54,800
He is certainly much stronger than the opposition.

598
00:26:55,520 --> 00:26:57,120
We've seen that, it's very clear.

599
00:26:57,120 --> 00:27:00,880
But it's the way he is being utilised that is very fucking good for Inter right now.

600
00:27:00,880 --> 00:27:05,200
They have players like Bastoni, Demoako, Chalanoglu, Brozovic and Barela who can all

601
00:27:05,200 --> 00:27:06,640
play amazing possible.

602
00:27:07,840 --> 00:27:11,280
They play them to Lukaku's head and he's either going to go for a goal or knock it down to

603
00:27:11,280 --> 00:27:11,920
Lautaro.

604
00:27:11,920 --> 00:27:15,600
And that is a combination that is extremely dangerous for Inter.

605
00:27:15,600 --> 00:27:17,440
And they can rely on it in my opinion.

606
00:27:17,440 --> 00:27:18,320
It's a good game plan.

607
00:27:18,320 --> 00:27:21,520
It's a different Lukaku and it's a different system he's playing in as well.

608
00:27:21,520 --> 00:27:27,440
You might be deceived by seeing a similar formation that Enzaki utilises to Kanta back

609
00:27:27,440 --> 00:27:29,200
in the day, but it is different.

610
00:27:29,200 --> 00:27:30,800
It is a different play style.

611
00:27:30,800 --> 00:27:35,120
They're not so focused on a sole man up front, you know what I mean?

612
00:27:35,120 --> 00:27:40,400
Under Kanta, Martinez was more of an attacking, not an attacking midfielder, but a secondary

613
00:27:40,400 --> 00:27:40,960
striker.

614
00:27:42,240 --> 00:27:48,320
And although it's similar under Enzaki, Lukaku won't be utilised to have the final touch.

615
00:27:48,880 --> 00:27:52,080
It's like Vlaović at Juve versus Vlaović at Fiorentina.

616
00:27:52,080 --> 00:27:56,000
Is he going to get the tap in or is he going to set up the tap in for Martinez?

617
00:27:56,000 --> 00:28:00,000
Because he's going to be at the far post, which is where, I don't know, Demarco or

618
00:28:00,000 --> 00:28:01,280
D'Amfriese will whip the ball.

619
00:28:01,280 --> 00:28:05,040
He gets ahead on it, gets it to Martinez, who slots it in.

620
00:28:05,040 --> 00:28:09,440
That's kind of what I'm anticipating, which is why I took Lautaro on Fanta.

621
00:28:09,440 --> 00:28:10,640
That makes sense.

622
00:28:10,640 --> 00:28:12,800
I'm not sure I completely agree with that, though.

623
00:28:12,800 --> 00:28:18,240
I still think that at the end of the day, the idea is to give Lukaku as much service

624
00:28:18,240 --> 00:28:18,720
as possible.

625
00:28:18,720 --> 00:28:25,360
But to your point, to your point, Lautaro Martinez is allegedly a 100 million euro striker.

626
00:28:25,360 --> 00:28:28,400
And if you have 100 million euro striker, you're not going to fucking get him to serve

627
00:28:28,400 --> 00:28:31,520
as someone as all day every day, you know what I mean, hence the knockdowns.

628
00:28:31,520 --> 00:28:33,280
So maybe you're right.

629
00:28:33,280 --> 00:28:37,520
Maybe on fantasy football you have the top scorer out of these two, Lautaro or Lukaku.

630
00:28:37,520 --> 00:28:39,840
Who do you think scores more this season, Lautaro or Lukaku?

631
00:28:40,480 --> 00:28:42,480
I mean, Lukaku would probably be on pens, eh?

632
00:28:43,280 --> 00:28:44,880
Lukaku would probably be on pens.

633
00:28:44,880 --> 00:28:46,320
I try not to look beyond them.

634
00:28:46,320 --> 00:28:47,840
They share them, man.

635
00:28:47,840 --> 00:28:48,320
I still...

636
00:28:51,600 --> 00:28:55,280
According to my prediction, it would be Lautaro getting the more goals.

637
00:28:55,280 --> 00:28:57,920
And I'm going to stick to my guns and say Lautaro will get more goals.

638
00:28:57,920 --> 00:29:01,200
However, I obviously would not be surprised if Lukaku outscores him.

639
00:29:01,200 --> 00:29:06,240
Because sure, he looks heavy now, but wait until he's running at someone like Roman Ioli.

640
00:29:07,440 --> 00:29:09,600
I think we'll remember that the guy is a powerhouse.

641
00:29:09,600 --> 00:29:12,400
I bet he's licking his lips waiting to play for the chance.

642
00:29:14,160 --> 00:29:19,440
But anyway, it isn't every day, bro, that you compliment a goalkeeper who's conceded three,

643
00:29:19,440 --> 00:29:20,960
but Drogowski...

644
00:29:20,960 --> 00:29:22,240
Drogowski!

645
00:29:22,240 --> 00:29:24,080
As the commentators all come, Drogowski.

646
00:29:24,080 --> 00:29:25,360
They all say it differently.

647
00:29:25,360 --> 00:29:28,480
It must be the correct way, though, because this commentator in particular

648
00:29:28,480 --> 00:29:29,600
pronounces names weirdly.

649
00:29:29,600 --> 00:29:32,320
And once he was interviewed about it and he was like, I do my research.

650
00:29:32,320 --> 00:29:33,600
He pronounces Shesny.

651
00:29:33,600 --> 00:29:34,320
So Shesny.

652
00:29:34,320 --> 00:29:35,520
Shesny or something like that.

653
00:29:35,520 --> 00:29:36,240
It's like he's been knighted.

654
00:29:36,240 --> 00:29:36,720
Apparently.

655
00:29:39,520 --> 00:29:40,800
So Shesny of...

656
00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:47,040
Yes, Drogowski, bro, probably Drogowski is correct way,

657
00:29:47,040 --> 00:29:51,520
had a brilliant fucking performance pulling off five very good saves.

658
00:29:51,520 --> 00:29:53,360
Oh, he's a good goalkeeper, man.

659
00:29:53,360 --> 00:29:56,240
Drogowski, we always say I think a team like Spezia suits him as well.

660
00:29:56,240 --> 00:29:58,000
A team with some some balls.

661
00:29:58,000 --> 00:30:03,760
Yeah, I wouldn't exactly use Spezia as a demonstration of a team with balls.

662
00:30:03,760 --> 00:30:06,880
I'd say individually, their players have big balls, man.

663
00:30:07,520 --> 00:30:08,320
Individually.

664
00:30:09,360 --> 00:30:10,560
Explain yourself.

665
00:30:10,560 --> 00:30:12,560
I think they're a rough side to face.

666
00:30:12,560 --> 00:30:14,480
I think they don't shy away from a challenge.

667
00:30:14,480 --> 00:30:16,240
They're street smart, man, these guys.

668
00:30:16,240 --> 00:30:16,640
That's what...

669
00:30:17,840 --> 00:30:18,720
Big balls, street smart.

670
00:30:18,720 --> 00:30:19,520
I guess that's the same thing.

671
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:21,120
So shall we move on?

672
00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:22,960
We can move on.

673
00:30:22,960 --> 00:30:31,520
Yes, the next game we're going to be covering is Napoli 4 Monza 0, an absolute walk over by Napoli.

674
00:30:31,520 --> 00:30:34,080
So it wasn't even a football match, it was a party.

675
00:30:34,080 --> 00:30:35,200
Literally, literally.

676
00:30:36,160 --> 00:30:43,120
So Napoli had the new signings, Raspadouri and Simeone and Ndombele on the bench,

677
00:30:43,120 --> 00:30:47,280
but stuck with the same 11 that beat Verona 5-2 in the season opener,

678
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:55,200
which was Maret, Lorenzo, sorry, Di Lorenzo, Rachmani, Minje and Rui forming the back line,

679
00:30:55,200 --> 00:31:00,560
Zieliński, Lobotka, Anguissa and Demitvill, Gvara, Ossimen and Lozano as the front three.

680
00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:06,320
Andrea Petania faced his former teammates moving to Monza just over a week ago.

681
00:31:07,120 --> 00:31:13,280
Pessina was not fully fit, so he didn't start the match alongside Mari, Augusto and Mota Carvalho.

682
00:31:13,280 --> 00:31:18,000
So it was Di Gregorio on goal with Santos, Ranocchia and Carboni forming the back three,

683
00:31:18,000 --> 00:31:23,600
Brindelli and Alessandro being the two wing backs with Ranocchia, Barberis and Sensi in the midfield,

684
00:31:23,600 --> 00:31:26,720
Caprari and Petania up front.

685
00:31:26,720 --> 00:31:33,920
So it was in the 35th minute that Gvara curled a rocket in off the post from distance,

686
00:31:33,920 --> 00:31:36,240
nothing any goalkeeper in the league could have done about that.

687
00:31:36,240 --> 00:31:39,120
This is the goal that we covered in our intro.

688
00:31:39,120 --> 00:31:41,200
What a goal by Gvara.

689
00:31:41,200 --> 00:31:47,680
In the 46th minute, just on the stroke of half time, Ossimen scored.

690
00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:52,560
It was a quick counter-attack by Napoli which ended with an Anguissa through ball to Ossimen

691
00:31:52,560 --> 00:31:56,560
who used his pace and finished through the legs of Di Gregorio.

692
00:31:56,560 --> 00:31:58,800
This was some beautiful play by Napoli.

693
00:31:58,800 --> 00:32:02,160
It was Anguissa to Ossimen, Ossimen utilising some pace over there.

694
00:32:02,160 --> 00:32:05,360
And then from a tight angle, the way he'll be travelling at that pace,

695
00:32:05,360 --> 00:32:11,600
at a tight angle, you can just get that power and that precision on his shots is ridiculous.

696
00:32:11,600 --> 00:32:16,400
In the 62nd, Gvara got his second of the night as he sent Antov to the land of Yoghurt

697
00:32:16,400 --> 00:32:19,280
with a fake shot and finished into the far corner.

698
00:32:20,240 --> 00:32:23,200
I thought it was Ranocchia, didn't he spin Ranocchia?

699
00:32:23,200 --> 00:32:28,800
Because someone was saying that like, like remember, even Petania feels fast against Ranocchia.

700
00:32:30,720 --> 00:32:34,000
He fainted Antov and Antov went sliding through.

701
00:32:34,000 --> 00:32:35,760
It could have been.

702
00:32:35,760 --> 00:32:38,560
I thought it was Ranocchia from the first time I saw it.

703
00:32:38,560 --> 00:32:42,400
The land of Yoghurt, by the way, is Bulgaria, which is his homeland.

704
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:44,960
And Bulgaria is the homeland of Yoghurt.

705
00:32:44,960 --> 00:32:45,680
If you're wondering.

706
00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:46,160
Really?

707
00:32:46,160 --> 00:32:46,560
Yes.

708
00:32:46,560 --> 00:32:48,000
Okay, I had no idea.

709
00:32:48,000 --> 00:32:48,480
Exactly.

710
00:32:48,480 --> 00:32:49,280
How do you know that?

711
00:32:49,920 --> 00:32:52,320
Because I googled funny things about Bulgaria.

712
00:32:57,040 --> 00:33:00,240
I have a podcast that I need to make jokes.

713
00:33:00,240 --> 00:33:01,600
Say, what the fuck am I supposed to say?

714
00:33:01,600 --> 00:33:04,240
I'm sure everyone got that bro.

715
00:33:04,240 --> 00:33:06,880
I'm sure people crashed their cars laughing.

716
00:33:08,080 --> 00:33:08,720
For all the Bulgarians.

717
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:09,680
He said Yoghurt.

718
00:33:11,440 --> 00:33:12,560
He said Yoghurt.

719
00:33:14,000 --> 00:33:16,080
You pronounce some things weirdly.

720
00:33:16,080 --> 00:33:17,920
Okay, give me some examples.

721
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:18,480
Yoghurt.

722
00:33:19,600 --> 00:33:20,480
Scolips.

723
00:33:20,480 --> 00:33:20,800
Okay.

724
00:33:21,440 --> 00:33:21,920
That's it.

725
00:33:23,760 --> 00:33:25,040
Now you say Scolips.

726
00:33:25,040 --> 00:33:29,600
So Yoghurt I was told off at Saint Martin's for saying Yoghurt once.

727
00:33:29,600 --> 00:33:31,600
But it was Miss Vicky.

728
00:33:31,600 --> 00:33:33,600
Miss Vicky had told me off for saying Yoghurt.

729
00:33:33,600 --> 00:33:34,640
Was she an English teacher?

730
00:33:34,640 --> 00:33:36,640
I don't remember what Miss Vicky used to do.

731
00:33:36,640 --> 00:33:38,160
Miss Vicky never even taught me.

732
00:33:38,160 --> 00:33:40,640
She used to see me in the hall and we used to get together.

733
00:33:40,640 --> 00:33:42,640
One day we were like, fuck me, the song with Yoghurt.

734
00:33:42,640 --> 00:33:44,640
No, no, no.

735
00:33:44,640 --> 00:33:46,640
Literally.

736
00:33:46,640 --> 00:33:48,640
And she said it's pronounced Yoghurt.

737
00:33:48,640 --> 00:33:52,640
We speak English, not American English.

738
00:33:52,640 --> 00:33:54,640
American English is Yoghurt and English English is Yoghurt.

739
00:33:54,640 --> 00:33:56,640
I don't know, man.

740
00:33:56,640 --> 00:34:02,640
And Scolips, I literally heard the word scallop or Scolip for the first time when I was in Scotland.

741
00:34:02,640 --> 00:34:04,640
And they pronounced it Scolips.

742
00:34:04,640 --> 00:34:08,640
So I just, you know, it was a fine dining restaurant, five red star hotel.

743
00:34:08,640 --> 00:34:10,640
I'll take their word for it.

744
00:34:10,640 --> 00:34:18,640
Petania scored a brilliant headed goal against his former side just over, just under a week after joining.

745
00:34:18,640 --> 00:34:22,640
But it was disallowed because he, bro, he pushed Rachmani to the ground.

746
00:34:22,640 --> 00:34:28,640
It's such an effortless push, but Rachmani goes flying into the ground.

747
00:34:28,640 --> 00:34:30,640
Absolutely face planting.

748
00:34:30,640 --> 00:34:36,640
And then the 92nd minute, Kim scored his first goal after headed in after a Zieliński corner.

749
00:34:36,640 --> 00:34:38,640
Yes.

750
00:34:38,640 --> 00:34:42,640
So Napoli were great all around, bro, obviously winning 4-0 against Monza.

751
00:34:42,640 --> 00:34:50,640
We wrote in our predictions, we think that Monza won't stand a chance against Napoli because Monza are very static when it comes to their defencing.

752
00:34:50,640 --> 00:34:55,640
Their defense and their kind of immobile, while Napoli are the opposite going forward.

753
00:34:55,640 --> 00:34:57,640
Did this play out the way you thought it would?

754
00:34:57,640 --> 00:34:59,640
So I think right now is the best time to play Monza.

755
00:34:59,640 --> 00:35:02,640
I do think they'll get better as this is in progress.

756
00:35:02,640 --> 00:35:04,640
But right now they're still figuring things out.

757
00:35:04,640 --> 00:35:06,640
They have a bunch of new names over here.

758
00:35:06,640 --> 00:35:10,640
They're trying to make it click and it's clearly difficult for them at the moment.

759
00:35:10,640 --> 00:35:15,640
So I think this was always going to be a win for Napoli.

760
00:35:15,640 --> 00:35:17,640
Was I surprised by anything?

761
00:35:17,640 --> 00:35:18,640
Not.

762
00:35:18,640 --> 00:35:24,640
Okay, of course I'm surprised by how easily Kim and Gwara Šelja have actually settled.

763
00:35:24,640 --> 00:35:27,640
They've both...

764
00:35:27,640 --> 00:35:29,640
They've shown the force now.

765
00:35:29,640 --> 00:35:32,640
Gwara has scored with his left foot, his right foot and his head.

766
00:35:32,640 --> 00:35:38,640
Kim has looked dominant at the back and he's actually got a goal for himself as well as that's going to help his confidence.

767
00:35:38,640 --> 00:35:43,640
Zieliński, who's meant to be playing a very important role, has been actually doing very well.

768
00:35:43,640 --> 00:35:46,640
He got two assists this game, a goal in the other game.

769
00:35:46,640 --> 00:35:49,640
So everything's ticking. Lobotko is the replacement.

770
00:35:49,640 --> 00:35:53,640
Everything's ticking for them. They had a few good fixtures for them.

771
00:35:53,640 --> 00:35:55,640
Now we'll see if they can do it against the good teams.

772
00:35:55,640 --> 00:35:56,640
Agreed.

773
00:35:56,640 --> 00:36:00,640
I would be surprised if they completely flopped against the good teams at the rate they're going.

774
00:36:00,640 --> 00:36:02,640
But remember, it's still early.

775
00:36:02,640 --> 00:36:04,640
Last season, Lazio started similarly to this.

776
00:36:04,640 --> 00:36:05,640
Yeah, literally.

777
00:36:05,640 --> 00:36:15,640
Can Napoli cope with someone putting pressure on them, with a big team putting pressure on them, be it Inter, Milan, Roma, for example?

778
00:36:15,640 --> 00:36:18,640
Can they cope with that? Because we've seen them going forward.

779
00:36:18,640 --> 00:36:22,640
Now you mentioned Kim being dominant.

780
00:36:22,640 --> 00:36:25,640
Now, sure, against Monza, Kim was dominant.

781
00:36:25,640 --> 00:36:30,640
Sure, up against Petania Capri, who really didn't see much of the ball.

782
00:36:30,640 --> 00:36:31,640
Of course he was.

783
00:36:31,640 --> 00:36:41,640
Against Verona and then who have Lasagna and Henry up front and more quality in the midfield, Napoli were a bit fragile at times,

784
00:36:41,640 --> 00:36:47,640
conceding two goals against Verona that are a shadow of what they were last year.

785
00:36:47,640 --> 00:36:53,640
So Napoli look great. They look excellent. They look fluid. They look dynamic. They look great going forward.

786
00:36:53,640 --> 00:36:56,640
Can they defend now? That's the question.

787
00:36:56,640 --> 00:37:01,640
They did fucking lose their leader at the back in Koulibaly.

788
00:37:01,640 --> 00:37:04,640
Rachmani needs to step up in that centre back role.

789
00:37:04,640 --> 00:37:12,640
It will be interesting to see them up against Vlaović, up against Giroud, up against Léaou, up against Lukaku, Lautaro.

790
00:37:12,640 --> 00:37:14,640
It will be very interesting.

791
00:37:14,640 --> 00:37:23,640
Imagine, okay, so first of all, their main weakness at the back, in my opinion, I think it's the opinion of the world, Mario Roux.

792
00:37:23,640 --> 00:37:31,640
He's a weakness at the back. They have Oliver who's coming to replace him and I bet we'll be seeing him sooner rather than later.

793
00:37:31,640 --> 00:37:37,640
Now imagine Navas does come in. If Navas comes in and he's organising this defence, he becomes the leader at the back.

794
00:37:37,640 --> 00:37:47,640
And we're talking about a player here with a Champions League winner, a player who has played at the fucking highest level leading the back line.

795
00:37:47,640 --> 00:37:51,640
So that's a massive character coming in to replace a massive character.

796
00:37:51,640 --> 00:37:53,640
An even bigger character coming in to replace a big character.

797
00:37:53,640 --> 00:38:00,640
Oh, for sure. For sure. A winner, bro. A winner. He's performed fantastically on the larger stages of the Champions League.

798
00:38:00,640 --> 00:38:04,640
He's in the World Cup, bro. He was fucking insane in the World Cup as well.

799
00:38:04,640 --> 00:38:11,640
At PSG, he should be benching Donnarumma and I say that with no animosity towards Donnarumma whatsoever, but he should be fucking benching him.

800
00:38:11,640 --> 00:38:16,640
So yeah, that can change their back line. Very true.

801
00:38:16,640 --> 00:38:23,640
Yes. Yeah, we'll wait and see. We'll wait and see what happens. It'll be interesting to see them getting attacked. Napoli play who next?

802
00:38:23,640 --> 00:38:28,640
They play Fiorentina. Fiorentina. We'll get into Fiorentina soon.

803
00:38:28,640 --> 00:38:30,640
We're getting into Fiorentina soon, but it's already a bit of a test.

804
00:38:30,640 --> 00:38:35,640
Serial Spotlight slip, baby. Baby. Oh, I forgot to plug in the sinkers, the money.

805
00:38:35,640 --> 00:38:37,640
Oh, yeah. We only do when we win.

806
00:38:37,640 --> 00:38:41,640
Nice. That was the plan from the get-go, guys.

807
00:38:41,640 --> 00:38:44,640
Who is the best striker in the league in your opinion?

808
00:38:44,640 --> 00:38:57,640
Okay. Ah, so it's between Vlachovic and Ozyman. It's definitely between Vlachovic and Ozyman.

809
00:38:57,640 --> 00:39:06,640
I would say the style of play that Napoli play suits their man way better than Juve's, so Vlachovic.

810
00:39:06,640 --> 00:39:10,640
For that reason, I would say Ozyman is the best striker in the league at the moment.

811
00:39:10,640 --> 00:39:18,640
Forget style. If you had a team, who are you putting there?

812
00:39:18,640 --> 00:39:20,640
Probably Vlachovic.

813
00:39:20,640 --> 00:39:21,640
Really?

814
00:39:21,640 --> 00:39:22,640
Probably Vlachovic.

815
00:39:22,640 --> 00:39:29,640
Look, Vlachovic is amazing, right? Of course, his touch is phenomenal. Next level. He had two goals against Napoli last season.

816
00:39:29,640 --> 00:39:35,640
The first touch on both goals, one was better than the other. It was music the way he fucking took the ball down.

817
00:39:35,640 --> 00:39:40,640
He's very good. He's a lethal finisher. Of course, he has the ability to turn and shoot suddenly.

818
00:39:40,640 --> 00:39:41,640
You don't even see it coming.

819
00:39:41,640 --> 00:39:48,640
His movement of the ball. We'll get into this as well, but he is incredibly intelligent of the ball.

820
00:39:48,640 --> 00:39:51,640
Ozyman too, and Ozyman has that pace.

821
00:39:51,640 --> 00:39:58,640
For me though, I asked this question because I believe that Ozyman is the best striker in the league.

822
00:39:58,640 --> 00:40:05,640
Simply because you can give Ozyman the ball at the halfway line with no support and he'll fucking charge, bro.

823
00:40:05,640 --> 00:40:10,640
He'll start charging and he'll take his men on. He'll dribble, he'll shoot from tight angles.

824
00:40:10,640 --> 00:40:15,640
He's a menace. He's an absolute menace. He's good in the air.

825
00:40:15,640 --> 00:40:19,640
He commits himself. He throws himself in 50-50s face. He doesn't give a fuck.

826
00:40:19,640 --> 00:40:22,640
He doesn't give a fuck what happens to his face. He doesn't care about his body, man.

827
00:40:22,640 --> 00:40:26,640
It's terrifying to see him like, I'm actually having that guy against you, man.

828
00:40:26,640 --> 00:40:29,640
50-50 and he's putting his face where your knee is.

829
00:40:29,640 --> 00:40:32,640
I'm 5'9 and 59 pace at most.

830
00:40:32,640 --> 00:40:37,640
You think you're 59 pace? I guess 59.

831
00:40:37,640 --> 00:40:40,640
No, my stamina would be 3 and then, but...

832
00:40:40,640 --> 00:40:42,640
You think you're faster than Zlatan?

833
00:40:42,640 --> 00:40:44,640
No way.

834
00:40:44,640 --> 00:40:46,640
You think you're faster than Shiro?

835
00:40:46,640 --> 00:40:49,640
No way. No, no, no.

836
00:40:49,640 --> 00:40:53,640
Dude, you and I, realistically, we're like 7 pace.

837
00:40:56,640 --> 00:40:57,640
But anyway.

838
00:40:57,640 --> 00:40:58,640
Yeah, I think...

839
00:40:58,640 --> 00:40:59,640
For me, Ozyman the best.

840
00:40:59,640 --> 00:41:04,640
Your point is fantastic. Yes, Ozyman can make a shit team better

841
00:41:04,640 --> 00:41:07,640
because he's not only good in the final third, but he...

842
00:41:07,640 --> 00:41:11,640
Through his movement, through his pace, through his strength, through his...

843
00:41:11,640 --> 00:41:14,640
Him being an all-rounder up front, he does make teams better.

844
00:41:14,640 --> 00:41:16,640
I think Vlachovic is better in the final third.

845
00:41:16,640 --> 00:41:21,640
I think if a cross comes in, whether it's a volley, a header, a chest down to a volley,

846
00:41:21,640 --> 00:41:23,640
I will choose Vlachovic in that situation.

847
00:41:23,640 --> 00:41:26,640
If it's a penalty, I would choose Vlachovic.

848
00:41:26,640 --> 00:41:29,640
If it's a free kick, I would choose Vlachovic.

849
00:41:29,640 --> 00:41:32,640
Vlachovic is also great with his runs of the ball.

850
00:41:32,640 --> 00:41:34,640
Probably as good as Ozyman.

851
00:41:34,640 --> 00:41:36,640
He's very, very quick as well.

852
00:41:36,640 --> 00:41:39,640
He's very fast. He has great acceleration, Vlachovic.

853
00:41:39,640 --> 00:41:42,640
It's just right now we're not fucking seeing it, bro.

854
00:41:42,640 --> 00:41:45,640
We'll get into that. I'm fucking frustrated.

855
00:41:45,640 --> 00:41:48,640
It's a tight one. I say Vlachovic nicks it.

856
00:41:48,640 --> 00:41:53,640
But definitely through the style of play, Ozyman is backed up by his team 100%.

857
00:41:53,640 --> 00:41:55,640
Let us know what you think.

858
00:41:55,640 --> 00:41:58,640
Okay, so we've addressed Napoli quite a bit.

859
00:41:58,640 --> 00:42:02,640
They look great, but we want to see how they can do against tougher opponents.

860
00:42:02,640 --> 00:42:05,640
Monza on the other hand, bro, have looked dreadful.

861
00:42:05,640 --> 00:42:08,640
But on the other hand, they're the polar opposite of Napoli

862
00:42:08,640 --> 00:42:10,640
because they face Torino on Napoli.

863
00:42:10,640 --> 00:42:14,640
Not very. They start the season playing those guys.

864
00:42:14,640 --> 00:42:16,640
They have a tough start.

865
00:42:16,640 --> 00:42:21,640
If they play Lecce, if they play Salernetana, if they play Spezia,

866
00:42:21,640 --> 00:42:24,640
could you see them getting something out of those games now?

867
00:42:27,640 --> 00:42:29,640
I think they look like the worst team in the league right now.

868
00:42:29,640 --> 00:42:30,640
Same.

869
00:42:30,640 --> 00:42:33,640
I mean, they could get something out of the Cremones again, maybe.

870
00:42:33,640 --> 00:42:35,640
But I think to be that good...

871
00:42:35,640 --> 00:42:37,640
Maybe Cremones look quite good.

872
00:42:37,640 --> 00:42:39,640
They need to settle. Monza need time.

873
00:42:39,640 --> 00:42:40,640
That's all they need.

874
00:42:40,640 --> 00:42:41,640
Yeah.

875
00:42:41,640 --> 00:42:42,640
Shall we?

876
00:42:42,640 --> 00:42:43,640
Yes, we shall.

877
00:42:44,640 --> 00:42:49,640
Moving on to the next game between Sampdoria and Juventus,

878
00:42:49,640 --> 00:42:51,640
which ended in a 0-0 draw.

879
00:42:51,640 --> 00:42:57,640
Now, Sampdoria continue to build on their impressive performance against Atalanta, bro.

880
00:42:57,640 --> 00:42:59,640
They played really well that game, in my opinion.

881
00:42:59,640 --> 00:43:00,640
They did.

882
00:43:00,640 --> 00:43:05,640
And they had a goal probably ruled out mistakenly, in my opinion.

883
00:43:05,640 --> 00:43:06,640
Perhaps.

884
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:09,640
And Juve, their creativity concerns remain.

885
00:43:10,640 --> 00:43:11,640
Oh, 100%.

886
00:43:11,640 --> 00:43:12,640
We'll talk about that.

887
00:43:12,640 --> 00:43:13,640
Stop it, like...

888
00:43:13,640 --> 00:43:18,640
Juve, prior to this, had been on a six-game winning streak against Sampdoria.

889
00:43:18,640 --> 00:43:21,640
So this is a bit of a slap in the face, a bit of a wake-up call.

890
00:43:21,640 --> 00:43:22,640
Yeah.

891
00:43:22,640 --> 00:43:25,640
Their last draw against Sampdoria came in 2014.

892
00:43:25,640 --> 00:43:26,640
It was 1-1.

893
00:43:26,640 --> 00:43:30,640
The goals were scored by Gabbiadini and Evra.

894
00:43:30,640 --> 00:43:33,640
Patrice, fucking hell.

895
00:43:33,640 --> 00:43:35,640
Random cameo.

896
00:43:35,640 --> 00:43:37,640
Take us to the play-by-play, bro.

897
00:43:37,640 --> 00:43:39,640
So the play-by-play.

898
00:43:39,640 --> 00:43:42,640
In the 65th minute, there was a goal, actually.

899
00:43:42,640 --> 00:43:43,640
It was a Rabiot goal.

900
00:43:43,640 --> 00:43:47,640
Rincon, his brain must have switched off or something.

901
00:43:47,640 --> 00:43:49,640
He was dispossessed by Maretti, who had just come on.

902
00:43:49,640 --> 00:43:50,640
We'll talk about these youngsters.

903
00:43:50,640 --> 00:43:51,640
They actually changed.

904
00:43:51,640 --> 00:43:52,640
Maybe you want to go to the starting 11.

905
00:43:52,640 --> 00:43:53,640
I don't know, bro.

906
00:43:53,640 --> 00:43:54,640
Sure, sure.

907
00:43:54,640 --> 00:43:56,640
Let's do that, actually, very quickly.

908
00:43:58,640 --> 00:44:00,640
Juve lined up with a 4-3-3.

909
00:44:00,640 --> 00:44:01,640
Yeah.

910
00:44:01,640 --> 00:44:05,640
Sandro, Bremer, Rugani, and Danilo at the back with Perenengol.

911
00:44:05,640 --> 00:44:10,640
Rabiolo, Catelli, and McKennie in midfield, basically three versions of the same player.

912
00:44:10,640 --> 00:44:14,640
Kostić on the left, Quadrado on the right, and Vlaović in the middle.

913
00:44:14,640 --> 00:44:15,640
Yeah.

914
00:44:15,640 --> 00:44:20,640
On the other hand, Sampdoria had Audero at the back, Berezinski on the right, Augelo on the left,

915
00:44:20,640 --> 00:44:23,640
and the center-back pairing of Colli and Ferrari.

916
00:44:23,640 --> 00:44:24,640
Colle.

917
00:44:24,640 --> 00:44:25,640
Yeah.

918
00:44:25,640 --> 00:44:30,640
Viera was the holding midfielder on his own over there, with Juricic on the left

919
00:44:30,640 --> 00:44:34,640
and Leris on the right, Sabiri and Rincon in the middle, and Caputo up front.

920
00:44:34,640 --> 00:44:35,640
Facts.

921
00:44:35,640 --> 00:44:36,640
In a 4-1-4-1 formation.

922
00:44:36,640 --> 00:44:37,640
Yep.

923
00:44:37,640 --> 00:44:38,640
Okay.

924
00:44:38,640 --> 00:44:42,640
Now, as I was saying, the 65th minute, yes, Rincon was dispossessed by Miretti, who played

925
00:44:42,640 --> 00:44:44,640
a lovely ball to Dusan Vlaović.

926
00:44:44,640 --> 00:44:47,640
He spun Colli and played it to Rabiolo.

927
00:44:47,640 --> 00:44:52,640
Rabiolo scored, but of course, Dusan Vlaović was in an offside position upon receiving

928
00:44:52,640 --> 00:44:53,640
the ball.

929
00:44:53,640 --> 00:44:54,640
Yeah.

930
00:44:54,640 --> 00:44:57,640
The best opportunity for Juve came for Kostić at the far post.

931
00:44:57,640 --> 00:44:59,640
He fired it directly at Audero.

932
00:44:59,640 --> 00:45:02,640
The best one for Sump was Leris.

933
00:45:02,640 --> 00:45:03,640
Did you see this game?

934
00:45:03,640 --> 00:45:04,640
I watched this game.

935
00:45:04,640 --> 00:45:06,640
Which one was it of Leris again?

936
00:45:06,640 --> 00:45:07,640
Oh my God.

937
00:45:07,640 --> 00:45:13,640
Sabiri gets the ball on the left side, just further from the halfway line, and he plays

938
00:45:13,640 --> 00:45:16,640
a curling through ball on the floor.

939
00:45:16,640 --> 00:45:21,640
He destroys Bremer with the pass, splits the defense completely, and Leris ends up one-on-one

940
00:45:21,640 --> 00:45:24,640
with Perrion and forces Perrion into an amazing save.

941
00:45:24,640 --> 00:45:30,640
That pass by Sabiri, bro, would have been the assist of the fucking team for sure.

942
00:45:30,640 --> 00:45:31,640
Yeah.

943
00:45:31,640 --> 00:45:32,640
Amazing it was.

944
00:45:32,640 --> 00:45:35,640
But yes, the goal was disallowed, of course.

945
00:45:35,640 --> 00:45:37,640
Let's get into my talking points, bro.

946
00:45:37,640 --> 00:45:40,640
So at one point, you know Matteo Bonetti?

947
00:45:40,640 --> 00:45:41,640
Yes.

948
00:45:41,640 --> 00:45:44,640
He's, for those who don't know, he's a commentator and a pundit.

949
00:45:44,640 --> 00:45:47,640
He's very active on Twitter, and he often speaks his mind, which is quite refreshing

950
00:45:47,640 --> 00:45:48,640
to see.

951
00:45:48,640 --> 00:45:52,640
He highlighted Allegri's octagon setup.

952
00:45:52,640 --> 00:45:57,640
He posted a screenshot of one of the moments where you can literally see all the players

953
00:45:57,640 --> 00:46:01,640
in an octagon shape of Juve with absolutely no one in the middle.

954
00:46:01,640 --> 00:46:03,640
There was no midfielder, there was no plan.

955
00:46:03,640 --> 00:46:08,640
Vlaović had three touches in the first half, one of them being a clearance onto his own

956
00:46:08,640 --> 00:46:09,640
post from a corner.

957
00:46:09,640 --> 00:46:13,640
There was a heat map that was posted, not a heat map, but…

958
00:46:13,640 --> 00:46:16,640
The touches, when you had those significant touches, like…

959
00:46:16,640 --> 00:46:21,640
I'm not sure how accurate this was, but his average position was behind Perrion, I'm assuming

960
00:46:21,640 --> 00:46:26,640
it's because he was defending corners more than getting the ball up front.

961
00:46:26,640 --> 00:46:30,640
He could have got a goal, Vlaović, and I'm confident he could have got a goal.

962
00:46:30,640 --> 00:46:36,640
When Quadrado broke through after dispossessing a player, and he decided to shoot with his

963
00:46:36,640 --> 00:46:40,640
fucking left instead of squaring it to Vlaović, he was wide open, very selfish by him, he

964
00:46:40,640 --> 00:46:44,640
was wearing the captain's armband, that's no example to lead by, and then he had the

965
00:46:44,640 --> 00:46:46,640
fucking audacity to complain after.

966
00:46:46,640 --> 00:46:47,640
To wave him off like…

967
00:46:47,640 --> 00:46:50,640
Exactly, to be like, hey, what the fuck, I did the right thing, like, no you didn't,

968
00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:52,640
and I'm sure you know you didn't.

969
00:46:52,640 --> 00:46:53,640
Yeah.

970
00:46:53,640 --> 00:46:57,640
What do you think, Rob, about Allegri's system right now?

971
00:46:57,640 --> 00:47:03,640
They made good signings, Bremmer, Di Maria, these guys are good signings, Pogba…

972
00:47:03,640 --> 00:47:06,640
Will the midfield forever be a problem for Juve?

973
00:47:06,640 --> 00:47:10,640
So Juve's last signings, correct, have been fantastic.

974
00:47:10,640 --> 00:47:19,640
Di Maria, Bremmer, fucking Pogba, Vlaović, Zakaria, Kostić, those are their most recent

975
00:47:19,640 --> 00:47:23,640
signings, great signings, right?

976
00:47:23,640 --> 00:47:29,640
Now, in the first match against Sasuolo, Juve looked great, they looked fantastic.

977
00:47:29,640 --> 00:47:31,640
Sure Sasuolo looked rubbish.

978
00:47:31,640 --> 00:47:37,640
But Di Maria was very inspiring, he was linking up with Vlaović well, Juve looked quite fluid,

979
00:47:37,640 --> 00:47:42,640
sure their midfield still didn't look great, but there was a lot of work being done by

980
00:47:42,640 --> 00:47:44,640
the wingers.

981
00:47:44,640 --> 00:47:52,640
That being said, the system that Juve played in this match was embarrassing, it was hilarious.

982
00:47:52,640 --> 00:48:01,640
I noticed, once seeing the starting eleven already, Rabiot on the team list, lining

983
00:48:01,640 --> 00:48:08,640
up with McKennie and Locatelli, Rabiot was super close to joining United, Allegri was

984
00:48:08,640 --> 00:48:14,640
happy to let him go, and he benched Miretti, he benched Fagioli, and he benched Rovella

985
00:48:14,640 --> 00:48:16,640
so he can start Rabiot.

986
00:48:16,640 --> 00:48:20,640
Not giving a fuck about the young talent, none of them are loaned out, he's kept them

987
00:48:20,640 --> 00:48:23,640
all and he's gonna let them rot on the bench.

988
00:48:23,640 --> 00:48:25,640
That's number one.

989
00:48:25,640 --> 00:48:33,640
Number two, sure they're thin, but aren't Quadrada and Kostić wing backs and they're

990
00:48:33,640 --> 00:48:38,640
up there playing alongside Vlaović in the attacking roles.

991
00:48:38,640 --> 00:48:41,640
There's no wonder the man gets no fucking service, man.

992
00:48:41,640 --> 00:48:43,640
There's no wonder.

993
00:48:43,640 --> 00:48:48,640
There's absolutely zero creativity about this, it's true he had two defenders essentially

994
00:48:48,640 --> 00:48:52,640
playing wingers, he had three midfielders who have very similar qualities as you're

995
00:48:52,640 --> 00:48:57,640
saying, it's not the fact that he started Rabiot, I have a problem with bro, it's the

996
00:48:57,640 --> 00:49:00,640
fact that he played again three midfielders who have exactly the same qualities.

997
00:49:00,640 --> 00:49:07,640
I feel like Miretti should have probably been introduced earlier or maybe even got the start,

998
00:49:07,640 --> 00:49:10,640
man, you know, there's nothing, there's no creativity.

999
00:49:10,640 --> 00:49:16,640
There was a meme recently, remember the Simpsons movie where Mexico against USA and the game

1000
00:49:16,640 --> 00:49:20,640
kicks off and they're just passing from one player to the next player to the next player.

1001
00:49:20,640 --> 00:49:23,640
It's not even that, because they had so many disprocessed passes, they had so many bad

1002
00:49:23,640 --> 00:49:26,640
passes, they gave the ball away so much.

1003
00:49:26,640 --> 00:49:27,640
Yes, it's true.

1004
00:49:27,640 --> 00:49:34,640
It was a dreadful display by bro, I was watching it after finishing prepping for the podcast,

1005
00:49:34,640 --> 00:49:38,640
it was after kickboxing, so fair enough, I was already tired, I was watching the game

1006
00:49:38,640 --> 00:49:40,640
trying not to fall asleep.

1007
00:49:40,640 --> 00:49:45,640
When Samp had the ball, I was a little bit excited, but then when you were on, well bro,

1008
00:49:45,640 --> 00:49:50,640
they posed no threat, no threat whatsoever throughout the entire game.

1009
00:49:50,640 --> 00:49:56,640
Yes, it's a combination of a lack of courage, bro, lack of ambition from the coach, lack

1010
00:49:56,640 --> 00:50:02,640
of fucking midfielders, no playmaking, no vertical passes, nothing bro, absolutely nothing.

1011
00:50:02,640 --> 00:50:05,640
Let's shift the focus a little bit to Sampdoria.

1012
00:50:05,640 --> 00:50:10,640
So Perin had a great display, I think Odero had an even better display, he had a good

1013
00:50:10,640 --> 00:50:12,640
performance over here, pulled off a few good saves.

1014
00:50:12,640 --> 00:50:14,640
I was really impressed by Omar Koli, man.

1015
00:50:14,640 --> 00:50:17,640
Same, same, I was going to mention Koli.

1016
00:50:17,640 --> 00:50:23,640
Koli keeps on being season by season one of Sampdoria's greatest players.

1017
00:50:23,640 --> 00:50:29,640
Bro, what ever happened to Maya Yoshida?

1018
00:50:29,640 --> 00:50:33,640
Maya Yoshida is currently in Germany, I believe, playing football in Germany.

1019
00:50:33,640 --> 00:50:37,640
Or Turkey, either Turkey or Germany, I'm not sure if it's Germany or Turkey.

1020
00:50:37,640 --> 00:50:38,640
We'll fact check that.

1021
00:50:38,640 --> 00:50:43,640
But yeah, Koli has been a long servant of Sampdoria, he's been great.

1022
00:50:43,640 --> 00:50:46,640
They've improved now with Yoshida leaving, it has to be said.

1023
00:50:46,640 --> 00:50:52,640
They would get absolutely destroyed in the air with Yoshida playing at the back.

1024
00:50:52,640 --> 00:50:55,640
No, that's what I feel like they tried to do with this game.

1025
00:50:55,640 --> 00:50:58,640
They're like, all right, we'll put Quadrado on the right, he'll cross it in, put Kostas

1026
00:50:58,640 --> 00:51:02,640
on the left, he'll cross it in, Vlava in the middle, he'll beat these guys in the air.

1027
00:51:02,640 --> 00:51:04,640
Like no, he didn't, quite frankly.

1028
00:51:04,640 --> 00:51:05,640
It's true.

1029
00:51:05,640 --> 00:51:09,640
So yes, so it's Koli who was very good.

1030
00:51:09,640 --> 00:51:15,640
Sabir Kaputo, Juricic are a very interesting kind of dynamic trio over there.

1031
00:51:15,640 --> 00:51:16,640
Yeah.

1032
00:51:16,640 --> 00:51:17,640
My opinion.

1033
00:51:17,640 --> 00:51:22,640
No, no, no, it's different to see by some.

1034
00:51:22,640 --> 00:51:25,640
Firstly, Sabiri is wow.

1035
00:51:25,640 --> 00:51:28,640
Sure, he had a few disappointing shots in this game.

1036
00:51:28,640 --> 00:51:30,640
The commentator is like, there's another one.

1037
00:51:30,640 --> 00:51:32,640
There's another one.

1038
00:51:32,640 --> 00:51:34,640
Sabiri, Moroccan international.

1039
00:51:34,640 --> 00:51:40,640
Like he kind of has that, he has a bit of Juraj Kuczka sometimes in his shot.

1040
00:51:40,640 --> 00:51:41,640
You know what I mean?

1041
00:51:41,640 --> 00:51:42,640
Yeah, the wayward.

1042
00:51:42,640 --> 00:51:47,640
But he dominates that midfield area for Samtoya.

1043
00:51:47,640 --> 00:51:49,640
They're creative outlets.

1044
00:51:49,640 --> 00:51:55,640
Ever since they lost Candreva and Sensi, they had Sensi in all last season as well.

1045
00:51:55,640 --> 00:51:56,640
They still have him.

1046
00:51:56,640 --> 00:51:58,640
No, Sensi is at Monza now.

1047
00:51:58,640 --> 00:52:00,640
Oh shit, you're right.

1048
00:52:00,640 --> 00:52:01,640
They had him on loan.

1049
00:52:01,640 --> 00:52:03,640
They had him on loan in the Trequartista role.

1050
00:52:03,640 --> 00:52:04,640
Exactly.

1051
00:52:04,640 --> 00:52:06,640
Now they have Ronaldo Vira.

1052
00:52:06,640 --> 00:52:07,640
Exactly.

1053
00:52:07,640 --> 00:52:09,640
A combination of two amazing players.

1054
00:52:09,640 --> 00:52:13,640
So their outlets since they lost Sensi and Candreva have essentially been Sabiri.

1055
00:52:13,640 --> 00:52:18,640
I think Caputo has looked quite alive, quite lively up front.

1056
00:52:18,640 --> 00:52:20,640
And I think Coiarella has looked decent.

1057
00:52:20,640 --> 00:52:23,640
Man, honestly, he's come on and almost scored in both games.

1058
00:52:23,640 --> 00:52:24,640
Literally.

1059
00:52:24,640 --> 00:52:27,640
Honestly, there's a stat of Berardi.

1060
00:52:27,640 --> 00:52:37,640
Currently, as it stands, only Berardi and another guy, shit, who was it, have scored in each of the last 10 seasons and say,

1061
00:52:37,640 --> 00:52:39,640
Who the hell was it?

1062
00:52:39,640 --> 00:52:40,640
Last 10 seasons.

1063
00:52:40,640 --> 00:52:45,640
Yes, it was Berardi along with Bonaventura.

1064
00:52:45,640 --> 00:52:46,640
Oh, OK.

1065
00:52:46,640 --> 00:52:50,640
If Coiarella scores this season, he will join them as well.

1066
00:52:50,640 --> 00:52:52,640
This is since 2013, 2014.

1067
00:52:52,640 --> 00:52:55,640
Of course, Coiarella has been scoring before that, to be fair to him.

1068
00:52:55,640 --> 00:53:00,640
Now, there's a quote, bro, I would like to highlight over here because it's actually comedy, bro.

1069
00:53:00,640 --> 00:53:01,640
It's pure comedy.

1070
00:53:01,640 --> 00:53:03,640
Allegri at the end of the game was questioned.

1071
00:53:03,640 --> 00:53:07,640
He asked him, like, hey, what's going on?

1072
00:53:07,640 --> 00:53:08,640
Where are your midfielders?

1073
00:53:08,640 --> 00:53:09,640
What's this?

1074
00:53:09,640 --> 00:53:11,640
Like, what are you doing?

1075
00:53:11,640 --> 00:53:15,640
And he said, talking about formations makes me laugh, man.

1076
00:53:15,640 --> 00:53:17,640
So football is a very simple game.

1077
00:53:17,640 --> 00:53:21,640
You get the ball and you pass it to the people wearing the same shirts as you.

1078
00:53:21,640 --> 00:53:24,640
He actually, that's a quote, word for word translated.

1079
00:53:24,640 --> 00:53:32,640
IFTV posted that and I commented, then why did you give the ball away so much, bro?

1080
00:53:32,640 --> 00:53:36,640
If this were the team I support, then my manager came out and said that.

1081
00:53:36,640 --> 00:53:37,640
I'd be devastated.

1082
00:53:37,640 --> 00:53:38,640
Score!

1083
00:53:38,640 --> 00:53:39,640
That's what you have to do.

1084
00:53:39,640 --> 00:53:40,640
You have to score.

1085
00:53:40,640 --> 00:53:45,640
But you can tell now he's just mocking the media at this point, like trying to take off from the pressure, trying to take away from it.

1086
00:53:45,640 --> 00:53:50,640
Or maybe trying to just take away from the team and put some pressure on himself.

1087
00:53:50,640 --> 00:53:59,640
So once Juve gets rid of Allegri, I see him having his most success with mid-table teams,

1088
00:53:59,640 --> 00:54:07,640
looking to break into, or like the Sampdoria is looking to be our top 10 team, Torino looking to be our top 10 team,

1089
00:54:07,640 --> 00:54:09,640
although Torino don't fucking need him at all.

1090
00:54:09,640 --> 00:54:15,640
But I see him being a great mid-table manager, like a shithouse, because he has a very classic style.

1091
00:54:15,640 --> 00:54:17,640
I think he's too established to stoop.

1092
00:54:17,640 --> 00:54:22,640
I think he'll go for like an Italian national team role one day.

1093
00:54:22,640 --> 00:54:24,640
Oh, that's such a move he'd make.

1094
00:54:24,640 --> 00:54:28,640
I would not watch it until he was the manager, man.

1095
00:54:28,640 --> 00:54:29,640
He's actually a terrorist.

1096
00:54:29,640 --> 00:54:31,640
He was the way terrorist and I agree with you.

1097
00:54:31,640 --> 00:54:32,640
He is a bit.

1098
00:54:32,640 --> 00:54:33,640
There's this quote, bro.

1099
00:54:33,640 --> 00:54:38,640
You either die a hero or you see yourself or you live long enough to see yourself become the villain.

1100
00:54:38,640 --> 00:54:40,640
I absolutely butchered that.

1101
00:54:40,640 --> 00:54:43,640
It's a very well known quote.

1102
00:54:43,640 --> 00:54:51,640
You either die the hero or you live to fight another day or too many cooks.

1103
00:54:51,640 --> 00:54:55,640
But yeah, that's exactly what's happening with Allegri right now, man.

1104
00:54:55,640 --> 00:54:59,640
He was a hero at Juve only with a fucking Scudetti back to back.

1105
00:54:59,640 --> 00:55:00,640
He left on a high, man.

1106
00:55:00,640 --> 00:55:03,640
He left on a high, came back and yeah.

1107
00:55:03,640 --> 00:55:04,640
Struggling.

1108
00:55:04,640 --> 00:55:14,640
It's that, you know, Juve parted ways with Allegri looking to break into a more modern style of play and, you know,

1109
00:55:14,640 --> 00:55:19,640
move on and just improve and have a new breath of fresh air with them.

1110
00:55:19,640 --> 00:55:23,640
They failed to do that with Sarri and they failed to do that with Pirlo.

1111
00:55:23,640 --> 00:55:27,640
Or maybe they didn't give either of them enough time to be quite frank.

1112
00:55:27,640 --> 00:55:42,640
And they pussied out and they got Allegri back to safeguard results, halting their progression entirely by playing this dreadful, boring, annoying football.

1113
00:55:42,640 --> 00:55:49,640
It has to be said, once they get Di Maria back in, once they get Chiesa back in,

1114
00:55:49,640 --> 00:55:56,640
they will make Allegri's life a little bit easier because they can carry the ball forward and they can be quite creative themselves.

1115
00:55:56,640 --> 00:55:59,640
Juve do have quite a few injuries.

1116
00:55:59,640 --> 00:56:00,640
Yes, true, bro.

1117
00:56:00,640 --> 00:56:03,640
There is not much else left to say about this game.

1118
00:56:03,640 --> 00:56:05,640
I think we should just move on quite frankly.

1119
00:56:05,640 --> 00:56:07,640
Sure thing.

1120
00:56:07,640 --> 00:56:14,640
The next game we're going to be covering is Roma 1-Cremonese 0.

1121
00:56:14,640 --> 00:56:17,640
So it was Mourinho against Alvini.

1122
00:56:17,640 --> 00:56:23,640
So Roma lined up with their classic 3-4-2-1 formation.

1123
00:56:23,640 --> 00:56:27,640
It was Patricio on goal with a backline of Ibania, Smalling and Mantrini.

1124
00:56:27,640 --> 00:56:32,640
Wing backs in Spinazzoli and Karsdorp with Pellegrini and Cristante in the middle.

1125
00:56:32,640 --> 00:56:40,640
Zaniolo on the left, Di Valla on the right and Tammy Abraham down the middle against a team with Radu in goal.

1126
00:56:40,640 --> 00:56:46,640
Aiwu, Kirikes and fuck me, this is the second week in a row I have to pronounce this.

1127
00:56:46,640 --> 00:56:58,640
La Shoskvili at the back, Gilione and Valeri out wide with Aska Kibar hand-picked in the middle.

1128
00:56:58,640 --> 00:57:03,640
Zani Makia in the attacking midfield role with Dessers and Ocarreque up front.

1129
00:57:03,640 --> 00:57:06,640
I apologize.

1130
00:57:06,640 --> 00:57:14,640
So Roma warmed up wearing Giorginho Wijnaldum shirts after he fractured his tibia during a training session.

1131
00:57:14,640 --> 00:57:18,640
But fielded the same 11 that beat Salernitana 1-0.

1132
00:57:18,640 --> 00:57:25,640
While Scremonese made numerous changes which is why I couldn't pronounce half of them after their 3-2 defeat against Verona.

1133
00:57:25,640 --> 00:57:36,640
So Zaniolo was tackled cleanly by Lach, but fell awkwardly onto his shoulder.

1134
00:57:36,640 --> 00:57:43,640
Initially people seemed to think, the media seemed to think that he dislocated his shoulder.

1135
00:57:43,640 --> 00:57:48,640
After several minutes of treatment, the Italy international was stretchered off.

1136
00:57:48,640 --> 00:57:55,640
Mourinho was emotional on the flash line saying yet another player at the time he thought, fuck me, now I have two guys.

1137
00:57:55,640 --> 00:57:58,640
He seems close to the players, seems like it's a cute little relationship between them.

1138
00:57:58,640 --> 00:58:04,640
But it seems like Zaniolo will only be out for three weeks because he tweeted for those of you all that wish it'd be longer.

1139
00:58:04,640 --> 00:58:06,640
See you in three weeks.

1140
00:58:06,640 --> 00:58:10,640
Yo, for all you people that said I never amounted to anything.

1141
00:58:10,640 --> 00:58:14,640
Three weeks.

1142
00:58:14,640 --> 00:58:15,640
Three weeks.

1143
00:58:15,640 --> 00:58:16,220
Sorry, can you pour me a glass of

1144
00:58:16,220 --> 00:58:17,640
Please, bro.

1145
00:58:17,640 --> 00:58:18,640
Thank you.

1146
00:58:18,640 --> 00:58:27,640
In the 65th minute, Smalling got the only goal in the game after he headed in from a Pellegrini corner, which was totally unmarked.

1147
00:58:27,640 --> 00:58:32,640
Bro, in the last minute, Pickle smacked the post from a half volley from distance.

1148
00:58:32,640 --> 00:58:35,640
It was an unbelievable attempt.

1149
00:58:35,640 --> 00:58:41,640
And before that, I also need to highlight that Dessers had a couple of crazy attempts as well.

1150
00:58:41,640 --> 00:58:42,640
You also hit the post now.

1151
00:58:42,640 --> 00:58:44,640
Dessers hit the post as well.

1152
00:58:44,640 --> 00:58:46,640
I tell you, Roma lucked out here.

1153
00:58:46,640 --> 00:58:48,640
That dipping shot.

1154
00:58:48,640 --> 00:58:49,640
We'll get into that.

1155
00:58:49,640 --> 00:59:00,640
So far, Roma, and like Napoli, well, same as Napoli rather, sorry, they faced Salernetana, who battled delegation last year and newly promoted Cremona.

1156
00:59:00,640 --> 00:59:10,640
So like Napoli, they faced, in a very easy side, so to say, one would expect that with the squad they've got, they'd have their fucking shooting boots on.

1157
00:59:10,640 --> 00:59:11,640
Yes.

1158
00:59:11,640 --> 00:59:16,640
They had, so they created chances, a myriad of chances they created.

1159
00:59:16,640 --> 00:59:19,640
They were fucking going for it, but they just couldn't score.

1160
00:59:19,640 --> 00:59:20,640
They were quite unlucky.

1161
00:59:20,640 --> 00:59:22,640
But you know what, man, you keep creating chances, the goals will come.

1162
00:59:22,640 --> 00:59:25,640
And once again, this is a team that needs to jizz.

1163
00:59:25,640 --> 00:59:28,640
The ball needs to get used to his fucking surroundings.

1164
00:59:28,640 --> 00:59:31,640
Granted, many of the names are actually quite familiar.

1165
00:59:31,640 --> 00:59:38,640
But I do believe that the goals will come and Celik eventually will, I think, start instead of Karsdorp.

1166
00:59:38,640 --> 00:59:41,640
I think Karsdorp has that Hattaburr effect now.

1167
00:59:41,640 --> 00:59:42,640
The three longs.

1168
00:59:42,640 --> 00:59:44,640
The three longs and nothing else.

1169
00:59:44,640 --> 00:59:45,640
That's it.

1170
00:59:45,640 --> 00:59:51,640
You just endless energy down the flank, which is an asset to the team, especially three at the back team.

1171
00:59:51,640 --> 00:59:55,640
But yeah, I think they'll improve significantly.

1172
00:59:55,640 --> 00:59:59,640
I think they will improve, but it is quite concerning that now.

1173
00:59:59,640 --> 01:00:00,640
Sure.

1174
01:00:00,640 --> 01:00:05,640
I mean, you said that they need to gel a bit better at the end of the day.

1175
01:00:05,640 --> 01:00:09,640
Right now, Debala is the only new name on the team sheet.

1176
01:00:09,640 --> 01:00:10,640
Sure.

1177
01:00:10,640 --> 01:00:11,640
It's not just a player.

1178
01:00:11,640 --> 01:00:18,640
The entire system that changes once you bring in someone like Debala, especially with Pellegrini in that role.

1179
01:00:18,640 --> 01:00:21,640
Zaniolo and Debala being the main focus.

1180
01:00:21,640 --> 01:00:22,640
Zaniolo is in a new role too.

1181
01:00:22,640 --> 01:00:23,640
I'm sorry to interrupt.

1182
01:00:23,640 --> 01:00:24,640
Yes.

1183
01:00:24,640 --> 01:00:28,640
He's closer, much closer to the striker, but he was kind of last season.

1184
01:00:28,640 --> 01:00:31,640
He was being utilized as a striker quite a bit with two men up front.

1185
01:00:31,640 --> 01:00:35,640
So it is a new system.

1186
01:00:35,640 --> 01:00:41,640
One would still hope that these guys could get more goals at the end of the day, because they're getting in the position.

1187
01:00:41,640 --> 01:00:42,640
I'm sure they will.

1188
01:00:42,640 --> 01:00:44,640
I'm sure they will.

1189
01:00:44,640 --> 01:00:48,640
But it's been a bit disappointing watching their opening two matches.

1190
01:00:48,640 --> 01:00:53,640
But I have to admit, I can't say I'm disappointed.

1191
01:00:53,640 --> 01:00:57,640
Because at the end of the day, this is a Mourinho team.

1192
01:00:57,640 --> 01:01:03,640
This is a team that will win, maybe not in the sexiest way, but they'll win.

1193
01:01:03,640 --> 01:01:08,640
Kind of like Mourinho has a similar kind of philosophy to Allegri, of course.

1194
01:01:08,640 --> 01:01:12,640
This is a type of philosophy that when it doesn't work, you're fucking criticized.

1195
01:01:12,640 --> 01:01:13,640
When it works, you're praised.

1196
01:01:13,640 --> 01:01:16,640
When it works, you're a fucking loser when it doesn't.

1197
01:01:16,640 --> 01:01:19,640
And with Mourinho right now, it's working.

1198
01:01:19,640 --> 01:01:23,640
And it has worked in the past, so I'm fucking winning the Champions League with Porto this year.

1199
01:01:23,640 --> 01:01:24,640
You know what I mean?

1200
01:01:24,640 --> 01:01:26,640
Using this exact philosophy.

1201
01:01:26,640 --> 01:01:28,640
It can very much work.

1202
01:01:28,640 --> 01:01:32,640
And it probably will work in the future.

1203
01:01:32,640 --> 01:01:35,640
As like you're saying, the team grows more into the system.

1204
01:01:35,640 --> 01:01:37,640
They gain some confidence.

1205
01:01:37,640 --> 01:01:39,640
They go on a good roll.

1206
01:01:39,640 --> 01:01:48,640
But at the end of the day, what I'm trying to say is, last season, we used to criticize Roma because they'd win one nil.

1207
01:01:48,640 --> 01:01:50,640
And that score from set plays.

1208
01:01:50,640 --> 01:01:54,640
What happened in this match against Cremona?

1209
01:01:54,640 --> 01:01:56,640
It wasn't criticism.

1210
01:01:56,640 --> 01:02:01,640
It was more like just highlighting how boringly predictable it is.

1211
01:02:01,640 --> 01:02:04,640
It's boring, but they are creating more chances.

1212
01:02:04,640 --> 01:02:06,640
Yes, and they will get them.

1213
01:02:06,640 --> 01:02:12,640
But the fact of the matter is, right now, they haven't taken that step up yet.

1214
01:02:12,640 --> 01:02:15,640
Only two matchdays in, but the step up isn't quite there yet.

1215
01:02:15,640 --> 01:02:17,640
I thought it would be more instantaneous.

1216
01:02:17,640 --> 01:02:22,640
I thought we'd see, I don't know, Debala curling one into the top corner.

1217
01:02:22,640 --> 01:02:23,640
You know what I mean?

1218
01:02:23,640 --> 01:02:29,640
I thought we'd see Zaniolo being able to finish when he's inside the box on his favorite foot.

1219
01:02:29,640 --> 01:02:31,640
Roma play Juve next.

1220
01:02:31,640 --> 01:02:32,640
Oh, yeah, yeah.

1221
01:02:32,640 --> 01:02:37,640
That's a fucking nil-nil, bro.

1222
01:02:37,640 --> 01:02:38,640
That's our bet.

1223
01:02:38,640 --> 01:02:41,640
Borek score nil-nil.

1224
01:02:41,640 --> 01:02:43,640
Yeah, it's likely.

1225
01:02:43,640 --> 01:02:44,640
It could be.

1226
01:02:44,640 --> 01:02:45,640
It could be.

1227
01:02:45,640 --> 01:02:51,640
So aside from that, do you think the gap that we spoke about was still there for Roma?

1228
01:02:51,640 --> 01:02:53,640
Ah, at the back.

1229
01:02:53,640 --> 01:02:56,640
Between Cristanta Pellegrini, Smalling, Bani, Zanmash and me.

1230
01:02:56,640 --> 01:02:58,640
Yes, bro, I think it was very much still there.

1231
01:02:58,640 --> 01:02:59,640
I agree.

1232
01:02:59,640 --> 01:03:02,640
But we'll see, man, if they manage to sort that out.

1233
01:03:02,640 --> 01:03:04,640
It seems like I'm shitting on Roma.

1234
01:03:04,640 --> 01:03:12,640
Well, I am, but I have a lot of faith in the team, and I do think that they're going to do better moving forward.

1235
01:03:12,640 --> 01:03:18,640
I just feel like they have a lot to work on, like most teams in the first two opening matches of the season.

1236
01:03:18,640 --> 01:03:22,640
I think Roma, for the amount of hype that was there, they're not quite there yet.

1237
01:03:22,640 --> 01:03:29,640
But I'd rather they have a slow start where they still get six points in two games at the end of the day.

1238
01:03:29,640 --> 01:03:33,640
And then they start gaining more confidence and they keep getting the three points throughout.

1239
01:03:33,640 --> 01:03:34,640
You know what I mean?

1240
01:03:34,640 --> 01:03:38,640
You know, this year, bro, Rome wasn't built in a day.

1241
01:03:38,640 --> 01:03:39,640
There you go, bro.

1242
01:03:39,640 --> 01:03:40,640
That's beautiful.

1243
01:03:40,640 --> 01:03:41,640
Thanks, man.

1244
01:03:41,640 --> 01:03:42,640
Fucking hell.

1245
01:03:42,640 --> 01:03:44,640
Now, question.

1246
01:03:44,640 --> 01:03:46,640
I've been seeing some serious praise for...

1247
01:03:46,640 --> 01:03:47,640
Stop looking.

1248
01:03:47,640 --> 01:03:53,640
I've been seeing some serious praise for Pellegrini, and he deserves it.

1249
01:03:53,640 --> 01:03:54,640
Yes.

1250
01:03:54,640 --> 01:03:55,640
He's versatile.

1251
01:03:55,640 --> 01:03:57,640
He's good with the ball at his feet.

1252
01:03:57,640 --> 01:03:58,640
He's good at tackling.

1253
01:03:58,640 --> 01:04:01,640
He's good from dead ball situations.

1254
01:04:01,640 --> 01:04:10,640
Is Pellegrini A, the best midfielder in Italy, B, the best Italian midfielder in Italy,

1255
01:04:10,640 --> 01:04:14,640
or C, the best Italian midfielder?

1256
01:04:14,640 --> 01:04:17,640
They're right here.

1257
01:04:17,640 --> 01:04:18,640
If you want to revisit them.

1258
01:04:18,640 --> 01:04:19,640
Yes, please.

1259
01:04:19,640 --> 01:04:21,640
So he's not the best midfielder in Italy.

1260
01:04:21,640 --> 01:04:22,640
He's one of them.

1261
01:04:22,640 --> 01:04:24,640
Who is the best midfielder in Italy?

1262
01:04:24,640 --> 01:04:26,640
He's got a lovely mustache.

1263
01:04:26,640 --> 01:04:28,640
Sergei Milyakovich Vysav.

1264
01:04:28,640 --> 01:04:29,640
Ah, okay.

1265
01:04:29,640 --> 01:04:31,640
But Benassi is a Milyakovich Vysav type.

1266
01:04:31,640 --> 01:04:34,640
Benassi, in my opinion, might be the best midfielder in Italy, man.

1267
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:35,640
He's there.

1268
01:04:35,640 --> 01:04:37,640
But I think Milyakovich Vysav is the best midfielder in Italy.

1269
01:04:37,640 --> 01:04:38,640
Agreed.

1270
01:04:38,640 --> 01:04:40,640
By some distance.

1271
01:04:40,640 --> 01:04:44,640
The best Italian midfielder in Italy.

1272
01:04:44,640 --> 01:04:48,640
Maybe.

1273
01:04:48,640 --> 01:04:50,640
Maybe.

1274
01:04:50,640 --> 01:04:51,640
Who else?

1275
01:04:51,640 --> 01:04:52,640
I mean...

1276
01:04:52,640 --> 01:04:53,640
There's Locatelli.

1277
01:04:53,640 --> 01:04:54,640
No.

1278
01:04:54,640 --> 01:04:55,640
No.

1279
01:04:55,640 --> 01:04:58,640
There is Tonali, I guess, but no.

1280
01:04:58,640 --> 01:04:59,640
Barella.

1281
01:04:59,640 --> 01:05:00,640
Barella, bro.

1282
01:05:00,640 --> 01:05:03,640
Barella is the best Italian midfielder in Italy.

1283
01:05:03,640 --> 01:05:05,640
And the best Italian midfielder is Verratti.

1284
01:05:05,640 --> 01:05:07,640
So he's the third best Italian midfielder.

1285
01:05:07,640 --> 01:05:09,640
Okay, so he's none over the above.

1286
01:05:09,640 --> 01:05:10,640
He's none over the above, bro.

1287
01:05:10,640 --> 01:05:11,640
So it's D, that's what's wrong.

1288
01:05:11,640 --> 01:05:12,640
He's a fraud.

1289
01:05:12,640 --> 01:05:15,640
No, he's a fucking fantastic player, but I don't think...

1290
01:05:15,640 --> 01:05:18,640
I'd say he's the best Italian midfielder in Italy.

1291
01:05:18,640 --> 01:05:20,640
I think he takes the cake over Barella.

1292
01:05:20,640 --> 01:05:22,640
I don't think so.

1293
01:05:22,640 --> 01:05:25,640
I think he's more consistent than Barella.

1294
01:05:25,640 --> 01:05:26,640
I don't think so.

1295
01:05:26,640 --> 01:05:27,640
I think he has more output than Barella.

1296
01:05:27,640 --> 01:05:29,640
You're full of shit, bro.

1297
01:05:29,640 --> 01:05:32,640
Definitely not, bro.

1298
01:05:32,640 --> 01:05:35,640
Barella is a fucking phenomenal player, man.

1299
01:05:35,640 --> 01:05:37,640
As much as it pains me to say this.

1300
01:05:37,640 --> 01:05:39,640
Of course he's a phenomenal player.

1301
01:05:39,640 --> 01:05:41,640
They're both phenomenal players.

1302
01:05:41,640 --> 01:05:46,640
But Pellegrini is so much more of an all-rounder than Barella.

1303
01:05:46,640 --> 01:05:49,640
He has so much more technique, so much more skill to him.

1304
01:05:49,640 --> 01:05:56,640
Look, again, I think that Pellegrini is better than Barella if he's playing closer to goal.

1305
01:05:56,640 --> 01:06:01,640
But in that fucking, for example, put him in a double pivot or in a midfield three.

1306
01:06:01,640 --> 01:06:02,640
I know who I want.

1307
01:06:02,640 --> 01:06:05,640
I take Barella all day every day for balance.

1308
01:06:05,640 --> 01:06:07,640
Barella is a workhorse, box to box.

1309
01:06:07,640 --> 01:06:10,640
He can win the ball, can play the ball, can have a shot.

1310
01:06:10,640 --> 01:06:11,640
Individually.

1311
01:06:11,640 --> 01:06:12,640
Who's the better player?

1312
01:06:12,640 --> 01:06:13,640
Individually.

1313
01:06:13,640 --> 01:06:14,640
Fuck their systems.

1314
01:06:14,640 --> 01:06:16,640
Fuck the balance in the midfield.

1315
01:06:16,640 --> 01:06:17,640
You have these two against each other.

1316
01:06:17,640 --> 01:06:19,640
You need to pick one.

1317
01:06:19,640 --> 01:06:20,640
You need to pick one.

1318
01:06:20,640 --> 01:06:21,640
Barella.

1319
01:06:21,640 --> 01:06:22,640
OK.

1320
01:06:22,640 --> 01:06:23,640
I choose Pellegrini.

1321
01:06:23,640 --> 01:06:24,640
That's fine.

1322
01:06:24,640 --> 01:06:25,640
That's fine.

1323
01:06:25,640 --> 01:06:26,640
All right.

1324
01:06:26,640 --> 01:06:30,640
I wish we could see the fight to the death now.

1325
01:06:30,640 --> 01:06:33,640
What's Pickle's surname, by the way, bro, Rick?

1326
01:06:38,640 --> 01:06:39,640
Brilliant.

1327
01:06:39,640 --> 01:06:48,640
So what I have to say about Cremoneze is that they're mature side with glimpses of explosiveness.

1328
01:06:48,640 --> 01:06:55,640
Dessers and Pickle, who both hit the post, are very dangerous, including Ocarreque.

1329
01:06:55,640 --> 01:06:56,640
Yes.

1330
01:06:56,640 --> 01:07:00,640
That is how I would sum up Cremoneze.

1331
01:07:00,640 --> 01:07:02,640
Is that not Bangon?

1332
01:07:02,640 --> 01:07:03,640
I would say it's Bangon.

1333
01:07:03,640 --> 01:07:04,640
Sure.

1334
01:07:04,640 --> 01:07:05,640
Perfect.

1335
01:07:05,640 --> 01:07:06,640
Let's go.

1336
01:07:06,640 --> 01:07:07,640
I'm a fan of Guglione as well, by the way.

1337
01:07:07,640 --> 01:07:08,640
Guglione is good.

1338
01:07:08,640 --> 01:07:09,640
Guglione is good.

1339
01:07:09,640 --> 01:07:10,640
He murodes down the flank.

1340
01:07:10,640 --> 01:07:12,640
And didn't Radu have a really good game as well?

1341
01:07:12,640 --> 01:07:13,640
Radu.

1342
01:07:13,640 --> 01:07:14,640
And the other good game, last game.

1343
01:07:14,640 --> 01:07:15,640
Radu.

1344
01:07:15,640 --> 01:07:16,640
Until the 90 something.

1345
01:07:16,640 --> 01:07:20,640
We have to praise this guy simply because of his mental health as well.

1346
01:07:20,640 --> 01:07:21,640
I hope you're listening, Radu.

1347
01:07:21,640 --> 01:07:24,640
He had an amazing fucking performance.

1348
01:07:24,640 --> 01:07:27,640
10 saves, bro.

1349
01:07:27,640 --> 01:07:29,640
That's not a joke.

1350
01:07:29,640 --> 01:07:33,640
Absolutely stand out, perform a man of the match for me.

1351
01:07:33,640 --> 01:07:34,640
Agreed.

1352
01:07:34,640 --> 01:07:35,640
Yeah, probably.

1353
01:07:35,640 --> 01:07:36,640
Man of the match.

1354
01:07:36,640 --> 01:07:37,640
Man of the match, Radu.

1355
01:07:37,640 --> 01:07:40,640
Round of applause for Radu.

1356
01:07:40,640 --> 01:07:41,640
Okay.

1357
01:07:41,640 --> 01:07:42,640
Excellent.

1358
01:07:42,640 --> 01:07:44,640
I think we can move on to the next game.

1359
01:07:44,640 --> 01:07:46,640
I'm enjoying our anniversary so far, bro.

1360
01:07:46,640 --> 01:07:47,640
It's fun.

1361
01:07:47,640 --> 01:07:48,640
It's very romantic.

1362
01:07:48,640 --> 01:07:53,640
Now, Torino nil, Lazio nil.

1363
01:07:53,640 --> 01:07:58,640
Vanya Milinkovic-Salvic comes out as the superior Milinkovic-Salvic and the Milinkovic-Salvic

1364
01:07:58,640 --> 01:07:59,640
derby.

1365
01:07:59,640 --> 01:08:00,640
Excellent.

1366
01:08:00,640 --> 01:08:06,640
Juric continues to show that he can turn water into wine, my brother.

1367
01:08:06,640 --> 01:08:07,640
100%.

1368
01:08:07,640 --> 01:08:09,640
Juric is my god.

1369
01:08:09,640 --> 01:08:11,640
This was a fucking bet, bro.

1370
01:08:11,640 --> 01:08:13,640
Four draws in a row between these sides.

1371
01:08:13,640 --> 01:08:17,640
This was the first time it happened since between 1976 and 1970.

1372
01:08:17,640 --> 01:08:19,640
That's such a missed one.

1373
01:08:19,640 --> 01:08:20,640
Yeah.

1374
01:08:20,640 --> 01:08:22,640
So first time since the 70s that this has happened.

1375
01:08:22,640 --> 01:08:24,640
The lineups were quite cool.

1376
01:08:24,640 --> 01:08:26,640
I like these two teams, man.

1377
01:08:26,640 --> 01:08:28,640
I'm a really big fan of Torino and Lazio.

1378
01:08:28,640 --> 01:08:30,640
I'm not a massive fan, to be honest.

1379
01:08:30,640 --> 01:08:33,640
I always talk to you about why I don't really like watching them play.

1380
01:08:33,640 --> 01:08:34,640
But they have an attractive lineup.

1381
01:08:34,640 --> 01:08:37,640
They're a sorry team that I'm not too fond of watching.

1382
01:08:37,640 --> 01:08:38,640
But anyway.

1383
01:08:38,640 --> 01:08:47,640
So Vanya Milinkovic-Salvic was in goal for Torino with a back three of Ricardo Rodriguez,

1384
01:08:47,640 --> 01:08:54,640
Bon giorno and Gigi Olain on the left, Singo on the right, Linetti and Ricci as the double

1385
01:08:54,640 --> 01:08:59,640
pivot with Radonjic and Vlasic playing behind Sanabria up front.

1386
01:08:59,640 --> 01:09:05,640
Providel was in goal for Lazio, Lazari on the right, Maricic on the left, Romagnoli and

1387
01:09:05,640 --> 01:09:08,640
Patrick as the center backs.

1388
01:09:08,640 --> 01:09:11,640
Vecino, Cataldi and Milinkovic-Salvic in the middle.

1389
01:09:11,640 --> 01:09:12,640
Poor Milinkovic-Salvic.

1390
01:09:12,640 --> 01:09:15,640
Yes, they put up with those two numpies.

1391
01:09:15,640 --> 01:09:16,640
Anderson on the right.

1392
01:09:16,640 --> 01:09:19,640
Zaccani on the left and the Mabilla up front.

1393
01:09:19,640 --> 01:09:23,640
Is it not mad that just Ek, Luis Alberto wasn't starting?

1394
01:09:23,640 --> 01:09:25,640
I mean, he's transfer listed.

1395
01:09:25,640 --> 01:09:26,640
That's it.

1396
01:09:26,640 --> 01:09:27,640
And we'll see.

1397
01:09:27,640 --> 01:09:29,640
If Sarri eventually gets sacked, it might happen.

1398
01:09:29,640 --> 01:09:31,640
Not saying it will, but it might.

1399
01:09:31,640 --> 01:09:33,640
He's the first name on the team sheet.

1400
01:09:33,640 --> 01:09:34,640
First name on the team sheet, exactly.

1401
01:09:34,640 --> 01:09:36,640
Luis Alberto in the middle together.

1402
01:09:36,640 --> 01:09:38,640
I can't believe Cataldi is playing instead of him.

1403
01:09:38,640 --> 01:09:40,640
More than Cataldi, Vecino.

1404
01:09:40,640 --> 01:09:41,640
Vecino.

1405
01:09:41,640 --> 01:09:42,640
He benches Vecino.

1406
01:09:42,640 --> 01:09:44,640
What is going on?

1407
01:09:44,640 --> 01:09:47,640
You have to be nuts to play Vecino instead of Luis Alberto.

1408
01:09:47,640 --> 01:09:51,640
You have to be on the brink of death.

1409
01:09:51,640 --> 01:09:53,640
You must have lost.

1410
01:09:53,640 --> 01:09:54,640
You just don't give a fuck at that point.

1411
01:09:54,640 --> 01:09:57,640
You have no oxygen to your brain if you're doing that.

1412
01:09:57,640 --> 01:10:04,640
How can Enzagi utilize Savage and Luis Alberto for so long

1413
01:10:04,640 --> 01:10:05,640
and have such great success with them?

1414
01:10:05,640 --> 01:10:07,640
He can even come on the Coppa Italia with them.

1415
01:10:07,640 --> 01:10:10,640
Sarri comes in and says, they don't work together.

1416
01:10:10,640 --> 01:10:12,640
No, Luis Alberto has to go.

1417
01:10:12,640 --> 01:10:14,640
Now we're sending to Sevilla.

1418
01:10:14,640 --> 01:10:15,640
What's going on?

1419
01:10:15,640 --> 01:10:20,640
And then when he brings him on, he brings him on in the 82nd minute

1420
01:10:20,640 --> 01:10:24,640
to replace Sergei Milyankovic-Savage.

1421
01:10:24,640 --> 01:10:29,640
At least he's remaining consistent in his opinion that they don't work together.

1422
01:10:29,640 --> 01:10:32,640
But it's horse shit because we've seen it work.

1423
01:10:32,640 --> 01:10:35,640
We've seen it work under him, bro.

1424
01:10:35,640 --> 01:10:37,640
Last season.

1425
01:10:37,640 --> 01:10:38,640
For sure.

1426
01:10:38,640 --> 01:10:39,640
You're right.

1427
01:10:39,640 --> 01:10:41,640
Let's get into the game.

1428
01:10:41,640 --> 01:10:47,640
The best chance of this game, bro, was when Sergei Milyankovic-Savage

1429
01:10:47,640 --> 01:10:51,640
found himself one on one against his little brother, Vanya Milyankovic-Savage.

1430
01:10:51,640 --> 01:10:52,640
Yes, you heard correctly.

1431
01:10:52,640 --> 01:10:55,640
Vanya Milyankovic-Savage is 25 years old.

1432
01:10:55,640 --> 01:10:58,640
He is two years younger than Sergei Milyankovic-Savage.

1433
01:10:58,640 --> 01:11:00,640
Even though he looks 30.

1434
01:11:00,640 --> 01:11:01,640
They're our age.

1435
01:11:01,640 --> 01:11:02,640
Right.

1436
01:11:02,640 --> 01:11:04,640
That's fucking nuts.

1437
01:11:04,640 --> 01:11:06,640
If they're not safe, why are they alive?

1438
01:11:06,640 --> 01:11:08,640
Bro, we look terrible.

1439
01:11:08,640 --> 01:11:13,640
But anyway, he found himself one on one.

1440
01:11:13,640 --> 01:11:14,640
Oh my god.

1441
01:11:14,640 --> 01:11:16,640
I'm Sergei and you're Vanya.

1442
01:11:16,640 --> 01:11:18,640
No, you're Vanya, bro.

1443
01:11:18,640 --> 01:11:20,640
You're fucking Vanya.

1444
01:11:20,640 --> 01:11:21,640
Vanya is younger.

1445
01:11:21,640 --> 01:11:23,640
Yeah, but you have the look.

1446
01:11:23,640 --> 01:11:25,640
And then I have the look.

1447
01:11:25,640 --> 01:11:27,640
You have the mustache.

1448
01:11:27,640 --> 01:11:28,640
You have the curly.

1449
01:11:28,640 --> 01:11:30,640
I have the beard and the bald head.

1450
01:11:30,640 --> 01:11:31,640
That works.

1451
01:11:31,640 --> 01:11:36,640
So, yes, that was the best chance of the game.

1452
01:11:36,640 --> 01:11:39,640
Sergei Milyankovic-Savage failed to get it past his younger brother.

1453
01:11:39,640 --> 01:11:41,640
It seems he called for a deflection.

1454
01:11:41,640 --> 01:11:42,640
I'm not sure if it really was.

1455
01:11:42,640 --> 01:11:44,640
But yeah, he missed the one on one.

1456
01:11:44,640 --> 01:11:45,640
He had time to shoot earlier.

1457
01:11:45,640 --> 01:11:46,640
He hesitated a little bit.

1458
01:11:46,640 --> 01:11:48,640
They were interviewed after the game.

1459
01:11:48,640 --> 01:11:51,640
They said they were both disappointed with the result.

1460
01:11:51,640 --> 01:11:54,640
But their mother was extremely happy with the draw.

1461
01:11:54,640 --> 01:11:55,640
That's very sweet.

1462
01:11:55,640 --> 01:11:58,640
But anyway, Singo had a free header from the corner, bro.

1463
01:11:58,640 --> 01:12:01,640
And honestly, if you had to watch this game in black and white,

1464
01:12:01,640 --> 01:12:03,640
you would think that Torino or Lazio and Lazio or Torino.

1465
01:12:03,640 --> 01:12:05,640
Because Torino absolutely dominated the whole way up in the game.

1466
01:12:05,640 --> 01:12:06,640
Agreed.

1467
01:12:06,640 --> 01:12:08,640
You know, they had 53% ball possession.

1468
01:12:08,640 --> 01:12:09,640
They were calm.

1469
01:12:09,640 --> 01:12:10,640
They moved the ball around.

1470
01:12:10,640 --> 01:12:11,640
They were patient with it, man.

1471
01:12:11,640 --> 01:12:12,640
They created chances.

1472
01:12:12,640 --> 01:12:14,640
I think that Vlasic Andradonovic looked really good.

1473
01:12:14,640 --> 01:12:17,640
And it's a shame that they lost Mirantchuk because he was playing really well, too.

1474
01:12:17,640 --> 01:12:18,640
Yeah.

1475
01:12:18,640 --> 01:12:22,640
I think Ricardo Rodriguez has settled in nicely as a left center back.

1476
01:12:22,640 --> 01:12:23,640
Very good on set pieces, too.

1477
01:12:23,640 --> 01:12:25,640
He's their captain nowadays.

1478
01:12:25,640 --> 01:12:29,640
Gigi has been unrecognizable since his Crotone days.

1479
01:12:29,640 --> 01:12:31,640
In a very good way and the best way possible, of course.

1480
01:12:31,640 --> 01:12:33,640
This guy was terrible with Crotone.

1481
01:12:33,640 --> 01:12:35,640
But it seemed to be like...

1482
01:12:35,640 --> 01:12:36,640
I don't recall him with Crotone.

1483
01:12:36,640 --> 01:12:40,640
He had a season, bro, where it's just like every single week, week in, week out,

1484
01:12:40,640 --> 01:12:41,640
he was just getting fucked.

1485
01:12:41,640 --> 01:12:46,640
Week in, week out, just fucking getting dribbled, falling on his ass,

1486
01:12:46,640 --> 01:12:48,640
like getting yellow cards, red cards.

1487
01:12:48,640 --> 01:12:49,640
He was terrible.

1488
01:12:49,640 --> 01:12:51,640
It's almost like he was...

1489
01:12:51,640 --> 01:12:53,640
He had a baptism of fire, bro.

1490
01:12:53,640 --> 01:12:54,640
That's what it was like.

1491
01:12:54,640 --> 01:12:59,640
And now he's become quite a commendable player, you know, very good player.

1492
01:12:59,640 --> 01:13:04,640
Now, do you think a draw was the right outcome for this game, my brother?

1493
01:13:04,640 --> 01:13:11,640
When you take everything into consideration, perhaps.

1494
01:13:11,640 --> 01:13:17,640
Because at the end of the day, short, Torino...

1495
01:13:17,640 --> 01:13:25,640
Torino were a much better side than Lazio were in this game in particular.

1496
01:13:25,640 --> 01:13:28,640
They had 10 shots on goal, one of them on target.

1497
01:13:28,640 --> 01:13:30,640
They managed to get one on target.

1498
01:13:30,640 --> 01:13:33,640
Lazio had seven, they had two on target.

1499
01:13:33,640 --> 01:13:37,640
Not saying that Lazio were anywhere near as good as Torino,

1500
01:13:37,640 --> 01:13:44,640
but I don't think there was any moment that Torino were clean through on goal.

1501
01:13:44,640 --> 01:13:48,640
They had the opportunity and they should have made it 1-0, 2-0.

1502
01:13:48,640 --> 01:13:52,640
I think, if anything, there was a point where Lazio should have scored.

1503
01:13:52,640 --> 01:13:55,640
Yes, no, no, Lazio's chances were very good.

1504
01:13:55,640 --> 01:13:57,640
Lazio's draw is probably a fair result here.

1505
01:13:57,640 --> 01:13:59,640
Yeah, fair enough, fair enough.

1506
01:13:59,640 --> 01:14:03,640
It could have gone either way with the quality of the chances that both teams had.

1507
01:14:03,640 --> 01:14:06,640
You think it was quite a boring game, bro?

1508
01:14:06,640 --> 01:14:09,640
It was a little bit of a...

1509
01:14:09,640 --> 01:14:12,640
It was an interesting...

1510
01:14:12,640 --> 01:14:15,640
I just enjoy watching Torino, man, to be honest with you.

1511
01:14:15,640 --> 01:14:19,640
And watching them against a team that does have quality

1512
01:14:19,640 --> 01:14:23,640
with Mwobila up front, Zakani on the left, I thought it was a pretty interesting game.

1513
01:14:23,640 --> 01:14:25,640
Zakani against Gigi was an interesting mashup.

1514
01:14:25,640 --> 01:14:28,640
I felt like Gigi got the better of him on multiple occasions.

1515
01:14:28,640 --> 01:14:31,640
But yes, I don't think it was...

1516
01:14:31,640 --> 01:14:33,640
I wouldn't say it was very boring, no.

1517
01:14:33,640 --> 01:14:36,640
Okay, okay. I thought it was a little bit boring.

1518
01:14:36,640 --> 01:14:38,640
Fair enough.

1519
01:14:38,640 --> 01:14:40,640
Are you good to...

1520
01:14:40,640 --> 01:14:43,640
I'm good to move on. I just need to say that Lazio seem far from being a top four side.

1521
01:14:43,640 --> 01:14:46,640
I'd be surprised if they even make Europa League at this point.

1522
01:14:46,640 --> 01:14:48,640
They really need to get things going over there.

1523
01:14:48,640 --> 01:14:49,640
I think I have them in eighth.

1524
01:14:49,640 --> 01:14:50,640
They need some players, man.

1525
01:14:50,640 --> 01:14:53,640
Letizio needs to get his shit together and sign some players.

1526
01:14:53,640 --> 01:14:54,640
Agreed.

1527
01:14:54,640 --> 01:14:55,640
I think he's going to be funnier. He's having fun.

1528
01:14:55,640 --> 01:14:56,640
But then let's move on.

1529
01:14:56,640 --> 01:14:59,640
At least he's fulfilling his dream of playing Lazio.

1530
01:14:59,640 --> 01:15:02,640
Not lifting a fucking trophy with Milan, but whatever.

1531
01:15:02,640 --> 01:15:05,640
Empoli nil, Fiorentina nil.

1532
01:15:05,640 --> 01:15:08,640
This is the local Tuscan derby.

1533
01:15:08,640 --> 01:15:10,640
Did you know that?

1534
01:15:10,640 --> 01:15:11,640
I knew that, bro.

1535
01:15:11,640 --> 01:15:12,640
I didn't.

1536
01:15:12,640 --> 01:15:17,640
So, local... I found out at kickoff that it was a local Tuscan derby.

1537
01:15:17,640 --> 01:15:21,640
The commentator went, and we're off on a local Tuscan derby.

1538
01:15:21,640 --> 01:15:23,640
Literally.

1539
01:15:23,640 --> 01:15:29,640
Obviously, Fiorentina are somewhat distracted by the Europa Conference League playoffs against Twente.

1540
01:15:29,640 --> 01:15:33,640
That they won 2-1 on the Thursday before this match.

1541
01:15:33,640 --> 01:15:34,640
The Sotil masterclass.

1542
01:15:34,640 --> 01:15:36,640
The Sotil masterclass.

1543
01:15:36,640 --> 01:15:41,640
With that in mind, Italiano made several changes to the lineup, including Dodo's first start,

1544
01:15:41,640 --> 01:15:43,640
benching Biragi, benching Sotil.

1545
01:15:43,640 --> 01:15:45,640
I'll actually just read out the lineups for it.

1546
01:15:45,640 --> 01:15:47,640
It was Gollini and Goal.

1547
01:15:47,640 --> 01:15:52,640
Dodo and Tercic as the right back and the left back.

1548
01:15:52,640 --> 01:15:55,640
Milenkovic and Martinez as the two centre backs.

1549
01:15:55,640 --> 01:15:58,640
It was Bonaventura, Mandragora and Malé in the midfield.

1550
01:15:58,640 --> 01:16:02,640
Ikone, Saponara supporting Lukajovic up front.

1551
01:16:02,640 --> 01:16:05,640
For Empoli, it was Vicario and Goal.

1552
01:16:05,640 --> 01:16:08,640
Parisi, Luperto, Ismaeli and Stojanovic as the four defenders.

1553
01:16:08,640 --> 01:16:14,640
Bandinelli, Marin and Henderson forming the midfield tree with Bairam in attacking midfield road.

1554
01:16:14,640 --> 01:16:17,640
And Destra and Lammers up front.

1555
01:16:17,640 --> 01:16:23,640
So, I mean, in the beginning of the second half, referee Matteo Marchetti sustained a muscle injury,

1556
01:16:23,640 --> 01:16:26,640
which is probably the most exciting part of the match.

1557
01:16:26,640 --> 01:16:33,640
He was replaced by Juan Lucas Saki, the man that I have nightmares about every single night.

1558
01:16:33,640 --> 01:16:38,640
The same referee then awarded a red card to Luperto after he dropped Jovic as the last man.

1559
01:16:38,640 --> 01:16:44,640
He did need VAR to turn his yellow card into a red.

1560
01:16:44,640 --> 01:16:47,640
But yeah, that happened quite late on in the game.

1561
01:16:47,640 --> 01:16:50,640
Kam Biaghi and then had muscular problems in stoppages.

1562
01:16:50,640 --> 01:16:58,640
So Empoli ended the game with nine men, but still Fiorentina barely got a shot on target after that.

1563
01:16:58,640 --> 01:17:04,640
Fiorentina posed little to no danger to Empoli, to be quite frank.

1564
01:17:04,640 --> 01:17:09,640
The most dangerous they were was from Biaghi's deadbolt situations once he came on as a sub.

1565
01:17:09,640 --> 01:17:12,640
What did you make of the performance of Fiorentina?

1566
01:17:12,640 --> 01:17:16,640
So Fiorentina do everything well apart from the final third, right?

1567
01:17:16,640 --> 01:17:20,640
The last thing is always missing with them, as of late, especially.

1568
01:17:20,640 --> 01:17:25,640
Now, I was quite disappointed by the performances of Saponara and Deku on out.

1569
01:17:25,640 --> 01:17:29,640
Why? They didn't think they played well at all, particularly Saponara. He was fucking, he was terrible.

1570
01:17:29,640 --> 01:17:34,640
Yeah, I mean, when Saponara isn't the best player in the world, he's kind of the worst player in the world.

1571
01:17:34,640 --> 01:17:38,640
That's it. Saponara, guys. OK, so we talk about Saponara a lot over here.

1572
01:17:38,640 --> 01:17:43,640
I'm going to explain. I'm going to explain exactly who Saponara is. I get a lot of questions about like, why do you have Saponara, kid?

1573
01:17:43,640 --> 01:17:51,640
So Saponara is a player who lives. Saponara is a normal human being. OK, Saponara is you. Saponara is I. OK.

1574
01:17:51,640 --> 01:17:57,640
Saponara is a normal human being who is blessed with moments of pure quality.

1575
01:17:57,640 --> 01:18:03,640
He sometimes becomes possessed with the spirit of prime Zinedine Zidane, dude.

1576
01:18:03,640 --> 01:18:09,640
Honestly, like he'll have the ball outside the area. The average guy.

1577
01:18:09,640 --> 01:18:14,640
All of a sudden, boom, he trips the Roma goalkeeper from out of the box, scoring the winner later on.

1578
01:18:14,640 --> 01:18:19,640
You know, he gets the ball on the edge of the area against Milan, fucking cuts in, curls the top bin.

1579
01:18:19,640 --> 01:18:23,640
You know what I mean? He's very capable of these moments. You know what I mean?

1580
01:18:23,640 --> 01:18:26,640
And that makes it, you know, the fact that he's human just makes me really like the player.

1581
01:18:26,640 --> 01:18:33,640
He has the touch and the football mind of a genius.

1582
01:18:33,640 --> 01:18:38,640
Yes, his understanding of the game. Vlaović nicknamed him the Professor.

1583
01:18:38,640 --> 01:18:41,640
The Professor. Like the Professor of Culture.

1584
01:18:41,640 --> 01:18:47,640
Like the one of Maneheist. That's how good he is. He's the professor in Maneheist.

1585
01:18:47,640 --> 01:18:53,640
Unfortunately, because he is real, he is not backed by physical capabilities.

1586
01:18:53,640 --> 01:18:57,640
He's not backed by significant strength. He's not quick.

1587
01:18:57,640 --> 01:19:02,640
Yeah, like he wouldn't be in a room shirtless with Vlaović. He'd keep his t-shirt on.

1588
01:19:02,640 --> 01:19:06,640
Exactly. He might have dipped into the pool with his t-shirt on at a pool party.

1589
01:19:06,640 --> 01:19:14,640
Maybe he cut off the sleeves because his biceps are, you know, with the right lighting, they're kind of large.

1590
01:19:14,640 --> 01:19:19,640
That's Saponara for you guys. Top quality content. Top quality.

1591
01:19:19,640 --> 01:19:21,640
Happy anniversary. Happy anniversary, dude.

1592
01:19:21,640 --> 01:19:24,640
No. Yeah, man.

1593
01:19:24,640 --> 01:19:26,640
This was Mike. I think I was...

1594
01:19:26,640 --> 01:19:31,640
What did you make of the performances? You said Icona and Saponara had a bit of a stinker.

1595
01:19:31,640 --> 01:19:35,640
Again, I thought that they did everything right, but it's just the wingers couldn't deliver the service.

1596
01:19:35,640 --> 01:19:41,640
I think that Bonaventura is a player who... He got close to scoring this game, but he's kind of...

1597
01:19:41,640 --> 01:19:45,640
When he fails to insert himself, he fails to insert himself. It's as simple as that.

1598
01:19:45,640 --> 01:19:51,640
Empoli, I feel like we haven't seen them at their best yet. And a friend of mine made a point,

1599
01:19:51,640 --> 01:19:56,640
Luke Minto, friend of the podcast, a Sassuolo fan, our resident Sassuolo fan,

1600
01:19:56,640 --> 01:19:59,640
he said that Empoli are relegation favorites in his opinion.

1601
01:19:59,640 --> 01:20:01,640
OK. That's a hot take. He loves them.

1602
01:20:01,640 --> 01:20:04,640
Yeah, he loves a good hot take. I disagree.

1603
01:20:04,640 --> 01:20:07,640
I don't know. I look at the pieces here. I look at, for example,

1604
01:20:07,640 --> 01:20:09,640
Smiley and Luperto are a competent center-back duo.

1605
01:20:09,640 --> 01:20:12,640
Vacario is a good goalkeeper. Parisi, Stajanovic are OK.

1606
01:20:12,640 --> 01:20:15,640
Bandonelli, Marin Henderson, decent midfielder.

1607
01:20:15,640 --> 01:20:21,640
Are they Caliari though? Could they be Caliari? Caliari had a good side.

1608
01:20:21,640 --> 01:20:24,640
Relegated. They might be Caliari. Relegated as fuck.

1609
01:20:24,640 --> 01:20:27,640
Marin, Bayrami, Destra, Lammers, that's a fucking solid team.

1610
01:20:27,640 --> 01:20:31,640
It's a good team. Their coach got relegated last year, no fairness.

1611
01:20:31,640 --> 01:20:35,640
And their striker got relegated as well. Destra.

1612
01:20:35,640 --> 01:20:39,640
Yes, you're right. So they've got a couple of losers in their team.

1613
01:20:39,640 --> 01:20:43,640
I don't think they're... at least they're definitely not relegation favorites.

1614
01:20:43,640 --> 01:20:45,640
No, no, no. I can't see them going down.

1615
01:20:45,640 --> 01:20:50,640
No. They can. They deserved more from the Spezia game,

1616
01:20:50,640 --> 01:20:56,640
but fact of the matter is they lost to Spezia and Spezia just got hammered by Inter.

1617
01:20:56,640 --> 01:21:00,640
Not that that's anything to be ashamed of. They're playing Inter.

1618
01:21:00,640 --> 01:21:03,640
But then they managed to hold Fioratina at 1-0-0 draw.

1619
01:21:03,640 --> 01:21:04,640
Which is a good result.

1620
01:21:04,640 --> 01:21:07,640
Perhaps they're... they haven't had a bad performance yet,

1621
01:21:07,640 --> 01:21:10,640
Empoli in these opening two games. They haven't had a bad performance yet.

1622
01:21:10,640 --> 01:21:14,640
It's a bad performance playing decently and losing to Spezia.

1623
01:21:14,640 --> 01:21:16,640
At the end of the day, yes.

1624
01:21:16,640 --> 01:21:20,640
But it's still early days and they're showing something.

1625
01:21:20,640 --> 01:21:22,640
They're showing that they're not a walkover side.

1626
01:21:22,640 --> 01:21:24,640
They held Fioratina right now.

1627
01:21:24,640 --> 01:21:30,640
About Fioratina, forgetting too much about Empoli.

1628
01:21:30,640 --> 01:21:34,640
Do Fioratina have the squad to juggle multiple competitions?

1629
01:21:34,640 --> 01:21:39,640
Wingers, yes. The rest, no.

1630
01:21:39,640 --> 01:21:41,640
That's what I was going to say.

1631
01:21:41,640 --> 01:21:45,640
Yes, they do, bro. They have quite a deep squad.

1632
01:21:45,640 --> 01:21:48,640
Champions League definitely not, of course.

1633
01:21:48,640 --> 01:21:52,640
But Conference League, Coppa Serie A, they can do it, man.

1634
01:21:52,640 --> 01:21:53,640
They can totally do it.

1635
01:21:53,640 --> 01:21:55,640
They have decent rotation.

1636
01:21:55,640 --> 01:21:57,640
Wingers, they have all of them.

1637
01:21:57,640 --> 01:22:00,640
Jovic and Cabral are competent strikers.

1638
01:22:00,640 --> 01:22:04,640
They can easily swap for each other, give each other a rest.

1639
01:22:04,640 --> 01:22:08,640
They have Duncan who can put in a shift in midfield as well.

1640
01:22:08,640 --> 01:22:10,640
But do they?

1641
01:22:10,640 --> 01:22:12,640
They do, man.

1642
01:22:12,640 --> 01:22:18,640
They do have the squad depth to allow them to play in three competitions.

1643
01:22:18,640 --> 01:22:20,640
I think they do, especially at this level.

1644
01:22:20,640 --> 01:22:24,640
They do definitely have the players.

1645
01:22:24,640 --> 01:22:27,640
The players are there. The individual pieces are there.

1646
01:22:27,640 --> 01:22:32,640
Is it an Atalanta thing, an Inter thing,

1647
01:22:32,640 --> 01:22:34,640
where every player is capable of playing the system?

1648
01:22:34,640 --> 01:22:38,640
And would the team be as fluid with either player on the pitch?

1649
01:22:38,640 --> 01:22:41,640
Italiano has his style and that's the idea.

1650
01:22:41,640 --> 01:22:42,640
That's what he's going for over here.

1651
01:22:42,640 --> 01:22:46,640
He wants everyone to get the system ticking.

1652
01:22:46,640 --> 01:22:50,640
Because I think they dropped points in this game.

1653
01:22:50,640 --> 01:22:54,640
I think had they not had Conference League midweek,

1654
01:22:54,640 --> 01:22:56,640
they would have won this game.

1655
01:22:56,640 --> 01:22:59,640
But then they struggled against Cremona as well.

1656
01:22:59,640 --> 01:23:01,640
So they're in an interesting place right now.

1657
01:23:01,640 --> 01:23:03,640
It's still early days, bro.

1658
01:23:03,640 --> 01:23:06,640
You see these guys get ticking at the end of the day right now.

1659
01:23:06,640 --> 01:23:08,640
That when in the Conference League was essential,

1660
01:23:08,640 --> 01:23:12,640
four points in their first two games were probably the minimum thing they wanted.

1661
01:23:12,640 --> 01:23:17,640
Four points will take six great.

1662
01:23:17,640 --> 01:23:20,640
At the end of the day, it is the amount of points that you get,

1663
01:23:20,640 --> 01:23:24,640
like we said about Roma, and the same should be said about Fiorentina at the end of the day.

1664
01:23:24,640 --> 01:23:28,640
Same boat as Milan.

1665
01:23:28,640 --> 01:23:32,640
Like I said, Empoli were the better team against Percival, got nothing out of it.

1666
01:23:32,640 --> 01:23:35,640
Now they walk away with a point against Fiorentina.

1667
01:23:35,640 --> 01:23:39,640
Thoughts under the Tuscans, under Zanetti.

1668
01:23:39,640 --> 01:23:43,640
Yeah, I think I need to see more of them.

1669
01:23:43,640 --> 01:23:45,640
I think they've been okay, to be honest with you.

1670
01:23:45,640 --> 01:23:46,640
It's hard to tell.

1671
01:23:46,640 --> 01:23:50,640
Of course, the red card skews the performance, but they held their own in the first half too.

1672
01:23:50,640 --> 01:23:52,640
First game of the season.

1673
01:23:52,640 --> 01:23:54,640
Refresh my memory, brother.

1674
01:23:54,640 --> 01:23:55,640
Lost to Spezia.

1675
01:23:55,640 --> 01:23:58,640
Lost to Spezia, 1-0, but they played well.

1676
01:23:58,640 --> 01:24:00,640
They played really well.

1677
01:24:00,640 --> 01:24:03,640
I don't know, they have an identity, they just need to be more street smart.

1678
01:24:03,640 --> 01:24:05,640
They need to get things done.

1679
01:24:05,640 --> 01:24:08,640
And I don't know if Paolo Zanetti is the man for the job.

1680
01:24:08,640 --> 01:24:13,640
He showed good, he played good, he had Venezia playing good football.

1681
01:24:13,640 --> 01:24:14,640
As well.

1682
01:24:14,640 --> 01:24:16,640
He has Empoli playing good football right now.

1683
01:24:16,640 --> 01:24:19,640
Now he needs to add, not only do you have to play good football,

1684
01:24:19,640 --> 01:24:21,640
you need to get some results.

1685
01:24:21,640 --> 01:24:22,640
That's it.

1686
01:24:22,640 --> 01:24:25,640
He's learning, at the end of the day.

1687
01:24:25,640 --> 01:24:27,640
He's getting great experience.

1688
01:24:27,640 --> 01:24:29,640
He'll probably be a great manager in the future.

1689
01:24:29,640 --> 01:24:36,640
Shout out to Vicario as always, Ismaili and Parisi had phenomenal performances.

1690
01:24:36,640 --> 01:24:41,640
They were key in keeping that clean sheet, the three of them.

1691
01:24:41,640 --> 01:24:46,640
But yeah, other than that, this game again was nothing really to write home about.

1692
01:24:46,640 --> 01:24:49,640
So I think I'm comfortable to move on to the next game, bro.

1693
01:24:49,640 --> 01:24:50,640
Let's go.

1694
01:24:50,640 --> 01:24:53,640
Sasuolo 1-0.

1695
01:24:53,640 --> 01:24:58,640
Dionisi's request to concede fewer goals has been granted.

1696
01:24:58,640 --> 01:25:02,640
Asberardi scores a screamer after renewing his contract to 2,000.

1697
01:25:02,640 --> 01:25:04,640
Oh fuck me, I didn't know that.

1698
01:25:04,640 --> 01:25:06,640
Opening his...

1699
01:25:06,640 --> 01:25:09,640
Last time I was thinking of the expression, what's the expression?

1700
01:25:09,640 --> 01:25:11,640
Opening your mm for the season.

1701
01:25:11,640 --> 01:25:12,640
Account.

1702
01:25:12,640 --> 01:25:13,640
Your account, yes.

1703
01:25:13,640 --> 01:25:14,640
Why the hell couldn't I remember that?

1704
01:25:14,640 --> 01:25:17,640
Opening your register.

1705
01:25:17,640 --> 01:25:18,640
Opening your door.

1706
01:25:18,640 --> 01:25:20,640
Opening your numbers, your wallet.

1707
01:25:20,640 --> 01:25:23,640
He opened his account for the season, yes.

1708
01:25:23,640 --> 01:25:29,640
The last game between these two sides in the top flight came in 2020 versus Sasuolo 1-4-2.

1709
01:25:29,640 --> 01:25:35,640
Now, Concilie started in gold, Rogerio Antolianas the full backs, Erlican Ferrari at the back.

1710
01:25:35,640 --> 01:25:40,640
This was a 4-3-3, so the three midfielders were Henrique, Lopez and Frattesi.

1711
01:25:40,640 --> 01:25:47,640
I have to say this is a midfield that is much, much, much, much, much, much, much better than Juventus is.

1712
01:25:47,640 --> 01:25:48,640
Honestly, honestly.

1713
01:25:48,640 --> 01:25:49,640
No, probably.

1714
01:25:49,640 --> 01:25:50,640
So mobile, bro, the midfield.

1715
01:25:50,640 --> 01:25:52,640
Henrique is really good, bro.

1716
01:25:52,640 --> 01:25:54,640
Lopez is Lopez.

1717
01:25:54,640 --> 01:25:56,640
Love what you did to your hair, dude.

1718
01:25:56,640 --> 01:25:58,640
Summer vibes, bro.

1719
01:25:58,640 --> 01:26:02,640
You can tell it's summer in Italy when half the players show up blonde.

1720
01:26:02,640 --> 01:26:07,640
Kyriakopoulos was playing as the left winger, of course that's a bit of a makeshift thing going on over there.

1721
01:26:07,640 --> 01:26:09,640
Berardi on the right and Pinnamonti up front.

1722
01:26:09,640 --> 01:26:11,640
Such a new look team as well, man.

1723
01:26:11,640 --> 01:26:12,640
So cool, man.

1724
01:26:12,640 --> 01:26:14,640
I can't wait for Thierry to make his way back in.

1725
01:26:14,640 --> 01:26:15,640
Same, same, same, same.

1726
01:26:15,640 --> 01:26:16,640
Naughty.

1727
01:26:16,640 --> 01:26:19,640
Falcone in goal for Lecce.

1728
01:26:19,640 --> 01:26:24,640
And apparently the guy on the right, bro, his name isn't Gendry, it's Jean Drie.

1729
01:26:24,640 --> 01:26:26,640
Ah, comment ça va Jean Drie?

1730
01:26:26,640 --> 01:26:28,640
So Jean Drie was on the right.

1731
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:33,640
Blin and Basquiatto as the center backs and Gallo as the left back.

1732
01:26:33,640 --> 01:26:34,640
I'm a big fan of Gallo.

1733
01:26:34,640 --> 01:26:37,640
The midfield three, they married each other 4-3-3.

1734
01:26:37,640 --> 01:26:40,640
Bistrovic, Humelund and Gonzalez.

1735
01:26:40,640 --> 01:26:46,640
De Francesco on the left, Strafetz on the right and Cissé in the middle as the sole striker.

1736
01:26:46,640 --> 01:26:50,640
What can you tell us about Blin and Basquiatto talking?

1737
01:26:50,640 --> 01:26:52,640
Blin and Basquiatto?

1738
01:26:52,640 --> 01:26:56,640
They're no longer going to be the center back pairing for Lecce.

1739
01:26:56,640 --> 01:26:57,640
What do you mean?

1740
01:26:57,640 --> 01:26:58,640
Why did you ask that?

1741
01:26:58,640 --> 01:26:59,640
Wait.

1742
01:26:59,640 --> 01:27:05,640
Because in the last episode I mentioned that Blin is a midfielder and Basquiatto is on the right back.

1743
01:27:05,640 --> 01:27:08,640
Of course, they're not going to be there anymore in fact because

1744
01:27:08,640 --> 01:27:10,640
Let's get into this now bro.

1745
01:27:10,640 --> 01:27:11,640
Okay.

1746
01:27:11,640 --> 01:27:14,640
They're signing bro Lecce.

1747
01:27:14,640 --> 01:27:15,640
Oh my god.

1748
01:27:15,640 --> 01:27:17,640
Lecce are signing.

1749
01:27:17,640 --> 01:27:24,640
Um Titi, a World Cup winner with great Champions League experience.

1750
01:27:24,640 --> 01:27:27,640
And they're also signing Pongracic.

1751
01:27:27,640 --> 01:27:29,640
Is that how you say it? Pongracic.

1752
01:27:29,640 --> 01:27:36,640
He's a 24 year old Croatian center back from Wolfsburg who's arriving on loan and he also has Champions League experience.

1753
01:27:36,640 --> 01:27:39,640
So suddenly they're a center back duo.

1754
01:27:39,640 --> 01:27:41,640
These guys is fucking solid.

1755
01:27:41,640 --> 01:27:43,640
They have a good spine all of a sudden.

1756
01:27:43,640 --> 01:27:45,640
They need a center back.

1757
01:27:45,640 --> 01:27:46,640
They do.

1758
01:27:46,640 --> 01:27:51,640
And they're bringing in two extremely capable, overqualified center backs.

1759
01:27:51,640 --> 01:27:53,640
I would take them at Milan.

1760
01:27:53,640 --> 01:27:56,640
Genuinely would take them at Milan.

1761
01:27:56,640 --> 01:27:58,640
Yeah on the bench though.

1762
01:27:58,640 --> 01:28:03,640
Now 40th minute of course Domenico Berardi did what he did.

1763
01:28:03,640 --> 01:28:06,640
A corner was taken, was cleared up.

1764
01:28:06,640 --> 01:28:08,640
The ball fell high up.

1765
01:28:08,640 --> 01:28:12,640
Berardi is just outside the area, strikes it with his right foot.

1766
01:28:12,640 --> 01:28:13,640
Beats the goal.

1767
01:28:13,640 --> 01:28:15,640
Fantastic goal.

1768
01:28:15,640 --> 01:28:16,640
Madonna.

1769
01:28:16,640 --> 01:28:17,640
Absolutely fantastic.

1770
01:28:17,640 --> 01:28:21,640
Leading by example when this team can't quite break the deadlock.

1771
01:28:21,640 --> 01:28:22,640
He comes in and he does that.

1772
01:28:22,640 --> 01:28:23,640
Captain fantastic.

1773
01:28:23,640 --> 01:28:25,640
What a player.

1774
01:28:25,640 --> 01:28:27,640
Now I already told you the stats of course.

1775
01:28:27,640 --> 01:28:31,640
He's become the second player in Serie A to have scored in the past 10 seasons.

1776
01:28:31,640 --> 01:28:33,640
In each of the past 10 seasons.

1777
01:28:33,640 --> 01:28:35,640
Sorry, Bonaventura is the other one.

1778
01:28:35,640 --> 01:28:38,640
And Qualiere Luffy scores the season ahead of that too.

1779
01:28:38,640 --> 01:28:40,640
Streffetza is a player who I find very interesting.

1780
01:28:40,640 --> 01:28:41,640
He always is good.

1781
01:28:41,640 --> 01:28:42,640
He's really good.

1782
01:28:42,640 --> 01:28:43,640
He's good.

1783
01:28:43,640 --> 01:28:45,640
He's 25 years old.

1784
01:28:45,640 --> 01:28:46,640
He's Brazilian.

1785
01:28:46,640 --> 01:28:48,640
Even though his name sounds Italian.

1786
01:28:48,640 --> 01:28:50,640
He is very short.

1787
01:28:50,640 --> 01:28:54,640
He is the Brazilian Eden Hazard.

1788
01:28:54,640 --> 01:28:58,640
You watched the way he plays, where he shakes his ass a little bit.

1789
01:28:58,640 --> 01:29:01,640
He cuts inside and plays a long ball to the wing.

1790
01:29:01,640 --> 01:29:02,640
He's very good.

1791
01:29:02,640 --> 01:29:05,640
Cissé had a pretty bad miss in the first half.

1792
01:29:05,640 --> 01:29:06,640
It was bad.

1793
01:29:06,640 --> 01:29:08,640
The finish was bad.

1794
01:29:08,640 --> 01:29:09,640
But everything else was pretty good.

1795
01:29:09,640 --> 01:29:13,640
He dispossessed Ferrari who has been having a bit of a nightmare so far this season.

1796
01:29:13,640 --> 01:29:18,640
And his shot, curled shot in the top corner just went over.

1797
01:29:18,640 --> 01:29:20,640
Was it the right approach is the question.

1798
01:29:20,640 --> 01:29:21,640
That finish.

1799
01:29:21,640 --> 01:29:25,640
He might have over complicated it.

1800
01:29:25,640 --> 01:29:28,640
Honestly, let's say quite impressive from the sides that have come up.

1801
01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:34,640
They definitely seem to be the strongest ones that should not come as a surprise as they did.

1802
01:29:34,640 --> 01:29:35,640
When the league.

1803
01:29:35,640 --> 01:29:36,640
Sorry about the end of the day.

1804
01:29:36,640 --> 01:29:40,640
But yeah, bro, good victory by Sao Suolo.

1805
01:29:40,640 --> 01:29:42,640
With a few missing pieces.

1806
01:29:42,640 --> 01:29:44,640
They actually have a left winger here.

1807
01:29:44,640 --> 01:29:46,640
You know, competent display.

1808
01:29:46,640 --> 01:29:47,640
A victory for them.

1809
01:29:47,640 --> 01:29:48,640
Clean sheet.

1810
01:29:48,640 --> 01:29:49,640
Can't complain.

1811
01:29:49,640 --> 01:29:50,640
They move.

1812
01:29:50,640 --> 01:29:51,640
They move.

1813
01:29:51,640 --> 01:29:56,640
The first point with the first three points of the season after the devastating loss against Juve.

1814
01:29:56,640 --> 01:29:59,640
What was a nice little way to bounce back for them.

1815
01:29:59,640 --> 01:30:04,640
Like we said, they have a few key pieces missing, particularly in Traore on the left.

1816
01:30:04,640 --> 01:30:08,640
They're playing Kyriakopoulos at the end of the day in a left wing position.

1817
01:30:08,640 --> 01:30:09,640
They've just lost Raspadori.

1818
01:30:09,640 --> 01:30:11,640
They've lost Skamaka.

1819
01:30:11,640 --> 01:30:13,640
Of course, Pena Monti is still settling in.

1820
01:30:13,640 --> 01:30:18,640
So these are they just have to win right now and wait for the guy to settle so you can start smashing them in for them.

1821
01:30:18,640 --> 01:30:23,640
Sao Suolo will do what they always do, they'll get off to a slow start and they'll pick it up halfway through the season.

1822
01:30:23,640 --> 01:30:27,640
I'm confident to say that that's exactly what will happen this time round.

1823
01:30:27,640 --> 01:30:29,640
Yeah, fair enough, bro.

1824
01:30:29,640 --> 01:30:31,640
There's not much else I would like to add to this.

1825
01:30:31,640 --> 01:30:33,640
We've already discussed pretty much everything.

1826
01:30:33,640 --> 01:30:35,640
Yeah, pretty much.

1827
01:30:35,640 --> 01:30:36,640
Are you happy to move on?

1828
01:30:36,640 --> 01:30:37,640
Yes.

1829
01:30:37,640 --> 01:30:38,640
Perfect.

1830
01:30:38,640 --> 01:30:41,640
Next game we're going to be covering is Bologna 1-1 Verona.

1831
01:30:41,640 --> 01:30:45,640
This was one of the more entertaining draws that we saw this weekend.

1832
01:30:45,640 --> 01:30:56,640
So the starting 11s for this match, Bologna started with Skorupski in goal in a 3-4-1-2 formation with Bonifazi, Medel and Silvestri forming the back three.

1833
01:30:56,640 --> 01:31:01,640
I keep missing the Ds today probably because I'm reading them from their Silvestri.

1834
01:31:01,640 --> 01:31:08,640
Cambiasso and Cassius as the two wing backs with Schouten, Dominguez and Soriano forming the middle three.

1835
01:31:08,640 --> 01:31:11,640
Arnautovic and Orsolini up front.

1836
01:31:11,640 --> 01:31:22,640
Versus a Verona that fielded their 3-5-2 formation that they'll be utilizing this year with Monte Pogol, Coppola, Gunther and Ridsos forming the back three.

1837
01:31:22,640 --> 01:31:28,640
Faroni and Lazovic as the two wing backs with Tamez, Ongla and Illich forming the midfield three.

1838
01:31:28,640 --> 01:31:31,640
Lasagna and Onri up front.

1839
01:31:31,640 --> 01:31:40,640
So in the early moments of the game, Onri smacked the crossbar from close range after a low cross by Ongla.

1840
01:31:40,640 --> 01:31:46,640
In the 21st minute, Arnautovic scored after some brilliant play by Bologna.

1841
01:31:46,640 --> 01:31:52,640
It was a clean finish after a low cross by Cassius and a great counter attack.

1842
01:31:52,640 --> 01:31:59,640
He pointed down to the ground in his celebration as though to say I am staying following interest by Man United.

1843
01:31:59,640 --> 01:32:02,640
He did that match day one as well when he scored.

1844
01:32:02,640 --> 01:32:04,640
I just keep doing it now forever.

1845
01:32:04,640 --> 01:32:06,640
I'm here, I'm here.

1846
01:32:06,640 --> 01:32:15,640
In the 43rd minute, Onri scored after a good cross by Lazovic fell perfectly to him and he finished off with a clean header.

1847
01:32:15,640 --> 01:32:19,640
In this game, the commentators kept on saying there are two fantastic strikers on the pitch.

1848
01:32:19,640 --> 01:32:23,640
One for each side, one being Arnautovic and the other one being Onri.

1849
01:32:23,640 --> 01:32:26,640
And they both scored so I guess they weren't wrong.

1850
01:32:26,640 --> 01:32:32,640
Orsolini's finish in of the crossbar was ruled out for offside following a Varchek.

1851
01:32:32,640 --> 01:32:33,640
It was a sick goal.

1852
01:32:33,640 --> 01:32:35,640
Sad to see that one.

1853
01:32:35,640 --> 01:32:39,640
It was sick, the way it bounced back out. He shot with so much power.

1854
01:32:39,640 --> 01:32:43,640
He then got a straight red card after a boot to the face of Ongla.

1855
01:32:43,640 --> 01:32:45,640
It was no hesitation whatsoever.

1856
01:32:45,640 --> 01:32:47,640
Definitely a deserved red card.

1857
01:32:47,640 --> 01:32:49,640
Orsolini had a bit of a mirror this game, poor guy.

1858
01:32:49,640 --> 01:32:55,640
He celebrated the goal, then he got called off, then he got the red card.

1859
01:32:55,640 --> 01:33:01,640
And the way that he got the red card as well, they were pretty much playing Germaniza over him at that point.

1860
01:33:01,640 --> 01:33:03,640
They were just chipping the ball over him.

1861
01:33:03,640 --> 01:33:05,640
He kicked the ball and he kicked Ongla on the face.

1862
01:33:05,640 --> 01:33:09,640
I doubt he fucking meant it but he did go in a bit of a rush over there.

1863
01:33:09,640 --> 01:33:11,640
Chances all round.

1864
01:33:11,640 --> 01:33:14,640
Thames had a big miss.

1865
01:33:14,640 --> 01:33:21,640
There was a great fucking save by Skorupski at a point to deny an Illich wonder going.

1866
01:33:21,640 --> 01:33:23,640
Oh man, what a save.

1867
01:33:23,640 --> 01:33:25,640
It is the league with the best keepers in the world.

1868
01:33:25,640 --> 01:33:29,640
I agree and we've said that a couple of times as well.

1869
01:33:29,640 --> 01:33:33,640
Orsolini tried one from half pitch after Monte Polo's footing outside of the area.

1870
01:33:33,640 --> 01:33:37,640
It was a very, very eventful draw.

1871
01:33:37,640 --> 01:33:39,640
But we mentioned Skorupski.

1872
01:33:39,640 --> 01:33:43,640
Where would you rank him in Italy when it comes to goalkeepers?

1873
01:33:43,640 --> 01:33:49,640
I always really want to do an exercise with you where we rank all 20 starting goalkeepers in a row.

1874
01:33:49,640 --> 01:33:53,640
And that's probably the most difficult task in the world.

1875
01:33:53,640 --> 01:33:56,640
Where would you rank Skorupski?

1876
01:33:56,640 --> 01:33:58,640
I'd have to make a list, don't I?

1877
01:33:58,640 --> 01:33:59,640
I'd have to top 10.

1878
01:33:59,640 --> 01:34:02,640
Look, he's top 10. He's better than Golini, for example, in my opinion.

1879
01:34:02,640 --> 01:34:04,640
Oh, for sure.

1880
01:34:04,640 --> 01:34:05,640
He's better than Djagovski.

1881
01:34:05,640 --> 01:34:07,640
Look, I'm going to tell you who he's worse than.

1882
01:34:07,640 --> 01:34:10,640
For sure. He's worse than Mannyan.

1883
01:34:10,640 --> 01:34:14,640
He's worse than...

1884
01:34:14,640 --> 01:34:16,640
...Schezny.

1885
01:34:16,640 --> 01:34:17,640
Okay.

1886
01:34:17,640 --> 01:34:19,640
Sure, he's worse than Schezny, yes.

1887
01:34:19,640 --> 01:34:20,640
I guess.

1888
01:34:20,640 --> 01:34:23,640
On his day. When Schezny's on his day, excluding the nightmares.

1889
01:34:23,640 --> 01:34:26,640
He's...

1890
01:34:26,640 --> 01:34:30,640
Look, let's save it for the next episode. I'll bring a list to the next episode.

1891
01:34:30,640 --> 01:34:31,640
Let's do it next episode.

1892
01:34:31,640 --> 01:34:32,640
I need to think about this.

1893
01:34:32,640 --> 01:34:36,640
Let's do it next episode. Remind us, guys.

1894
01:34:36,640 --> 01:34:41,640
We'll end next episode by doing our 20 goalkeepers in a row.

1895
01:34:41,640 --> 01:34:44,640
Yes. From start to finish.

1896
01:34:44,640 --> 01:34:48,640
Now, brother of mine, I have to say that Thierry Henry's...

1897
01:34:48,640 --> 01:34:51,640
Thierry Henry's... Thomas Henry's... Oh my God.

1898
01:34:51,640 --> 01:34:55,640
Thomas Henry's new lease of life at Verona is a very interesting one.

1899
01:34:55,640 --> 01:34:59,640
They also have Jurich on the bench, so if his head doesn't get the job done,

1900
01:34:59,640 --> 01:35:00,640
they just bring on Jurich.

1901
01:35:00,640 --> 01:35:02,640
I'll add it to you.

1902
01:35:02,640 --> 01:35:05,640
Interesting, interesting, interesting. How many goals do you think he'll get this season?

1903
01:35:05,640 --> 01:35:06,640
Henry?

1904
01:35:06,640 --> 01:35:07,640
Yeah.

1905
01:35:07,640 --> 01:35:08,640
Nine.

1906
01:35:08,640 --> 01:35:09,640
Nine? That's pretty good.

1907
01:35:09,640 --> 01:35:10,640
Ten.

1908
01:35:10,640 --> 01:35:11,640
Yeah.

1909
01:35:11,640 --> 01:35:12,640
Eleven.

1910
01:35:12,640 --> 01:35:13,640
Nine, ten, eleven.

1911
01:35:13,640 --> 01:35:16,640
Cool. I think it was a goodbye for them.

1912
01:35:16,640 --> 01:35:22,640
I didn't think so at the beginning because, like, he was a bit of a disappointment at Venezia.

1913
01:35:22,640 --> 01:35:27,640
But at the end of the day, he is one of those strikers that sits inside the box,

1914
01:35:27,640 --> 01:35:29,640
waits for a service and he can deliver.

1915
01:35:29,640 --> 01:35:32,640
He is nothing more than that, but he's very talented at that.

1916
01:35:32,640 --> 01:35:33,640
He is, he is.

1917
01:35:33,640 --> 01:35:35,640
Now, at Venezia, I think we overrated Venezia a little bit last year

1918
01:35:35,640 --> 01:35:38,640
in the service they could provide to him.

1919
01:35:41,640 --> 01:35:42,640
Yeah, fair enough.

1920
01:35:42,640 --> 01:35:46,640
He has better service now. He has Lazovic, he has Illich, he has Faroni,

1921
01:35:46,640 --> 01:35:50,640
he has Lasagna to his side. He will not have Barac.

1922
01:35:50,640 --> 01:35:52,640
He's off to Fiorentina.

1923
01:35:52,640 --> 01:35:54,640
Verona are significantly worse now, man.

1924
01:35:54,640 --> 01:35:55,640
Oh, they are.

1925
01:35:55,640 --> 01:35:57,640
I'm seeing shots for them getting relegated.

1926
01:35:57,640 --> 01:35:59,640
Obviously, don't think about getting relegated.

1927
01:35:59,640 --> 01:36:01,640
It's every season, even last year.

1928
01:36:01,640 --> 01:36:03,640
Honestly, how many seasons have these guys been getting relegated?

1929
01:36:03,640 --> 01:36:04,640
They lost at La Zancanio.

1930
01:36:04,640 --> 01:36:05,640
No way.

1931
01:36:05,640 --> 01:36:06,640
They don't get relegated, for sure.

1932
01:36:06,640 --> 01:36:08,640
If they get relegated, we'll stop the podcast.

1933
01:36:08,640 --> 01:36:11,640
Hey, and they won't make top ten.

1934
01:36:11,640 --> 01:36:13,640
They won't make top ten.

1935
01:36:13,640 --> 01:36:20,640
Like, I was going to say Bologna, Verona, Udineze.

1936
01:36:20,640 --> 01:36:25,640
Those three are exact same level.

1937
01:36:25,640 --> 01:36:27,640
Bologna, Verona, Udineze.

1938
01:36:27,640 --> 01:36:29,640
Yeah, I agree.

1939
01:36:29,640 --> 01:36:31,640
Bologna, Verona, Udineze.

1940
01:36:31,640 --> 01:36:34,640
I think Udineze are slightly better than their...

1941
01:36:34,640 --> 01:36:35,640
Really?

1942
01:36:35,640 --> 01:36:36,640
Yes, I would say so.

1943
01:36:36,640 --> 01:36:37,640
Okay.

1944
01:36:37,640 --> 01:36:38,640
I would say so.

1945
01:36:38,640 --> 01:36:39,640
Okay, interesting.

1946
01:36:39,640 --> 01:36:41,640
But anyway, shall we?

1947
01:36:41,640 --> 01:36:43,640
Red sauce had a strong performance.

1948
01:36:43,640 --> 01:36:45,640
That's all I wanted to say.

1949
01:36:45,640 --> 01:36:46,640
Red sauce?

1950
01:36:46,640 --> 01:36:47,640
Red sauce.

1951
01:36:47,640 --> 01:36:53,640
I wanted to bring it up because obviously we've criticized the back three of Verona and Red sauce really stepped up in this game.

1952
01:36:53,640 --> 01:36:54,640
Cool.

1953
01:36:54,640 --> 01:36:56,640
You can't move on.

1954
01:36:56,640 --> 01:36:59,640
So the next game is the game that nobody watched.

1955
01:36:59,640 --> 01:37:02,640
Udineze, Nil, Salernitana, Nil.

1956
01:37:02,640 --> 01:37:03,640
Thank you, good night.

1957
01:37:03,640 --> 01:37:06,640
And then the goal is, of course, and we're here to talk about it.

1958
01:37:06,640 --> 01:37:09,640
It was on at the same time as Torino, to be honest.

1959
01:37:09,640 --> 01:37:13,640
I wanted to watch this one simply because I wanted to see how Kandreva and De Oliveira play.

1960
01:37:13,640 --> 01:37:14,640
I love watching those two games.

1961
01:37:14,640 --> 01:37:15,640
Yeah, yeah, yeah.

1962
01:37:15,640 --> 01:37:17,640
But of course, I couldn't say no to the Torino-Lotio game.

1963
01:37:17,640 --> 01:37:23,640
Coming into this game, Udineze had won three of their four meetings, matches against Salernitana.

1964
01:37:23,640 --> 01:37:26,640
This is the first time ever that these teams have drawn.

1965
01:37:26,640 --> 01:37:27,640
Wow.

1966
01:37:27,640 --> 01:37:28,640
Yeah, yeah, that's quite the fancy.

1967
01:37:28,640 --> 01:37:29,640
Fucking hell, hey.

1968
01:37:29,640 --> 01:37:38,640
So Silvestri was in goal, three at the back, Mazina, Biol and Bekao flanked by Udogi and Nil.

1969
01:37:38,640 --> 01:37:46,640
The midfield three were Makengo, Wallace and Pereira, and the two strikers were Isaac Success and De Oliveira.

1970
01:37:46,640 --> 01:37:52,640
For Salernitana, they had Sepang, goal at back three of Braun, Gyomber and Fazio.

1971
01:37:52,640 --> 01:38:01,640
On the right, Kandreva, on the left, Mazocchi, Vilhena Radovanovich and Majura in the middle, Bonazzoli and Botham up front.

1972
01:38:01,640 --> 01:38:06,640
An interesting match, both teams mirroring each other's formation.

1973
01:38:06,640 --> 01:38:12,640
It was an action-packed match, quite frankly, 15 shots to 17, quite even possession as well.

1974
01:38:12,640 --> 01:38:20,640
There was a red card in the 47th minute in the first half.

1975
01:38:20,640 --> 01:38:21,640
48.

1976
01:38:21,640 --> 01:38:22,640
Yeah, 48, 47.

1977
01:38:22,640 --> 01:38:24,640
It was on Neuwin Perez.

1978
01:38:24,640 --> 01:38:27,640
He was like, oh, yo, I was in the fourth game, man.

1979
01:38:27,640 --> 01:38:35,640
It was an intentional foul on a counter by Neuwin Perez, to be honest with you.

1980
01:38:35,640 --> 01:38:37,640
He probably made the right decision.

1981
01:38:37,640 --> 01:38:38,640
Neuwin.

1982
01:38:38,640 --> 01:38:39,640
Neuwin.

1983
01:38:39,640 --> 01:38:40,640
Neuwin.

1984
01:38:40,640 --> 01:38:41,640
How do you know?

1985
01:38:41,640 --> 01:38:43,640
Because I've heard the commentators say it before.

1986
01:38:43,640 --> 01:38:44,640
It's Neuwin Perez.

1987
01:38:44,640 --> 01:38:46,640
I've heard Neuwin last, but it was Italian.

1988
01:38:46,640 --> 01:38:48,640
God knows.

1989
01:38:48,640 --> 01:38:49,640
This is called Perez.

1990
01:38:49,640 --> 01:38:53,640
Perez, an intentional foul on the counter and it was a straight red card.

1991
01:38:53,640 --> 01:38:55,640
He's on my Fanta.

1992
01:38:55,640 --> 01:38:56,640
Straight red card.

1993
01:38:56,640 --> 01:38:58,640
No, he started it, thanks to my advice.

1994
01:38:58,640 --> 01:39:00,640
True as dude.

1995
01:39:00,640 --> 01:39:01,640
It was a very entertaining game.

1996
01:39:01,640 --> 01:39:03,640
Super goalkeeping saves all around.

1997
01:39:03,640 --> 01:39:06,640
Udinese had better chances than Salernitana.

1998
01:39:06,640 --> 01:39:08,640
Salernitana had more possession.

1999
01:39:08,640 --> 01:39:12,640
Deleveaux causing all sorts of problems everywhere.

2000
01:39:12,640 --> 01:39:13,640
Salernitana, bro.

2001
01:39:13,640 --> 01:39:15,640
They don't look like pushovers, are they this year?

2002
01:39:15,640 --> 01:39:16,640
No, no, no.

2003
01:39:16,640 --> 01:39:21,640
Like we said, they picked up where they left off last season.

2004
01:39:21,640 --> 01:39:24,640
That Davide Nicola spell, he's there to stay.

2005
01:39:24,640 --> 01:39:26,640
He brought something special to them.

2006
01:39:26,640 --> 01:39:28,640
Clearly, he triggered something in them.

2007
01:39:28,640 --> 01:39:31,640
And yeah, they're off to quite a good start.

2008
01:39:31,640 --> 01:39:34,640
A good start, a lot of people had them getting relegated.

2009
01:39:34,640 --> 01:39:36,640
Yeah, that's true.

2010
01:39:36,640 --> 01:39:37,640
I had them getting relegated.

2011
01:39:37,640 --> 01:39:38,640
No, you did.

2012
01:39:38,640 --> 01:39:39,640
Did you?

2013
01:39:39,640 --> 01:39:40,640
No, of Spezia.

2014
01:39:40,640 --> 01:39:41,640
You have Spezia?

2015
01:39:41,640 --> 01:39:42,640
Oh my days.

2016
01:39:42,640 --> 01:39:44,640
Spezia lettre cremoneze.

2017
01:39:44,640 --> 01:39:46,640
And have months on 12th.

2018
01:39:46,640 --> 01:39:49,640
That's the wild pick, eh?

2019
01:39:49,640 --> 01:39:50,640
Allah.

2020
01:39:50,640 --> 01:39:52,640
We'll see, it might happen.

2021
01:39:52,640 --> 01:39:53,640
Early days, early days.

2022
01:39:53,640 --> 01:39:55,640
Early days, baby.

2023
01:39:55,640 --> 01:39:58,640
Alright, I mean, I don't really have anything else to say about this game.

2024
01:39:58,640 --> 01:40:05,640
Apart from the fact that it was very entertaining, goalkeeping superstars, red card, and Salernitana

2025
01:40:05,640 --> 01:40:06,640
couldn't capitalize.

2026
01:40:06,640 --> 01:40:12,640
I mean, I think we gave you guys a lot of content for the amount of draws and nil nils

2027
01:40:12,640 --> 01:40:14,640
that they were still managed.

2028
01:40:14,640 --> 01:40:15,640
What's this, the last one?

2029
01:40:15,640 --> 01:40:17,640
I don't have any left.

2030
01:40:17,640 --> 01:40:19,640
Holy shit, we're done.

2031
01:40:19,640 --> 01:40:20,640
Yeah, we are done.

2032
01:40:20,640 --> 01:40:27,640
So I think we gave you guys a lot of content for the amount of nil nils and 1-1s and 1-nils

2033
01:40:27,640 --> 01:40:29,640
that there were.

2034
01:40:29,640 --> 01:40:35,640
Really not the most entertaining match days we will ever see.

2035
01:40:35,640 --> 01:40:39,640
But I think from next week, you know, we'll have a couple of bangers.

2036
01:40:39,640 --> 01:40:41,640
We'll have Roma, Juve.

2037
01:40:41,640 --> 01:40:44,640
There's Napoli Fiorentina.

2038
01:40:44,640 --> 01:40:45,640
That'll be quite...

2039
01:40:45,640 --> 01:40:47,640
Juve, Roma, apologies.

2040
01:40:47,640 --> 01:40:48,640
Lazio Inter.

2041
01:40:48,640 --> 01:40:49,640
Lazio Inter.

2042
01:40:49,640 --> 01:40:50,640
Verona, Atalanta.

2043
01:40:50,640 --> 01:40:51,640
Salernitana, Sampdoria.

2044
01:40:51,640 --> 01:40:53,640
Can't drive us scores against the X.

2045
01:40:53,640 --> 01:40:55,640
I mean Milan, Bologna.

2046
01:40:55,640 --> 01:40:57,640
Legge, Schampoli, Leinz.

2047
01:40:57,640 --> 01:41:00,640
Even Spezia, Sassuolo is nice to be honest.

2048
01:41:00,640 --> 01:41:02,640
Okay, next week, this weekend is going to be better.

2049
01:41:02,640 --> 01:41:04,640
Monza, Udinez, that's okay.

2050
01:41:04,640 --> 01:41:05,640
Sign me up.

2051
01:41:05,640 --> 01:41:07,640
And then we have midweek games, bro.

2052
01:41:07,640 --> 01:41:09,640
This is something we have to decide on what the hell we're going to do.

2053
01:41:09,640 --> 01:41:10,640
Oh, yeah.

2054
01:41:10,640 --> 01:41:13,640
We're going to cover fucking 20 games.

2055
01:41:13,640 --> 01:41:17,640
Or we'll do a quick fire episode or something to cover.

2056
01:41:17,640 --> 01:41:22,640
I think that's one we'll discuss and we'll make an announcement to let them know.

2057
01:41:22,640 --> 01:41:23,640
It takes a lot of thought.

2058
01:41:23,640 --> 01:41:26,640
Obviously for us guys, this is something we do on the side.

2059
01:41:26,640 --> 01:41:28,640
We both have full time jobs.

2060
01:41:28,640 --> 01:41:30,640
Yes, I'm a full time porn star.

2061
01:41:30,640 --> 01:41:31,640
Exactly.

2062
01:41:31,640 --> 01:41:35,640
And I'm a full time sex worker.

2063
01:41:35,640 --> 01:41:38,640
So we could go for something a bit more creative.

2064
01:41:38,640 --> 01:41:41,640
It has to be about sex, man.

2065
01:41:41,640 --> 01:41:43,640
Should we say what we actually do?

2066
01:41:43,640 --> 01:41:44,640
Yes, of course.

2067
01:41:44,640 --> 01:41:46,640
Go ahead.

2068
01:41:46,640 --> 01:41:48,640
I'm an English teacher.

2069
01:41:48,640 --> 01:41:49,640
Oh, you're not?

2070
01:41:49,640 --> 01:41:52,640
Well, I'm an academic coordinator for a language school.

2071
01:41:52,640 --> 01:41:53,640
And an English teacher.

2072
01:41:53,640 --> 01:41:54,640
And an English teacher.

2073
01:41:54,640 --> 01:41:59,640
I'm the head of sales at a startup called Free Hour, a student platform in Malta.

2074
01:41:59,640 --> 01:42:03,640
So both of our jobs are very demanding, obviously, for two very different reasons.

2075
01:42:03,640 --> 01:42:04,640
Very time consuming.

2076
01:42:04,640 --> 01:42:06,640
Very time consuming.

2077
01:42:06,640 --> 01:42:12,640
Unfortunately, we don't have enough time to maybe focus on this as much as we would like to.

2078
01:42:12,640 --> 01:42:13,640
Exactly.

2079
01:42:13,640 --> 01:42:14,640
Exactly.

2080
01:42:14,640 --> 01:42:15,640
It's as simple as that.

2081
01:42:15,640 --> 01:42:19,640
And obviously we have our hobbies and endeavors as well that take up our time.

2082
01:42:19,640 --> 01:42:22,640
We have friends, we have girlfriends, we have family.

2083
01:42:22,640 --> 01:42:28,640
So unfortunately, we don't dedicate as much time to this as we would like.

2084
01:42:28,640 --> 01:42:30,640
Maybe in the future, obviously.

2085
01:42:30,640 --> 01:42:31,640
But you know what?

2086
01:42:31,640 --> 01:42:33,640
At the end of the day, we work on this every day.

2087
01:42:33,640 --> 01:42:34,640
Yeah.

2088
01:42:34,640 --> 01:42:35,640
I mean, we do.

2089
01:42:35,640 --> 01:42:36,640
We do.

2090
01:42:36,640 --> 01:42:37,640
Every day.

2091
01:42:37,640 --> 01:42:39,640
Maybe there's one day like on a Friday.

2092
01:42:39,640 --> 01:42:43,640
Friday, I think, we find it difficult to work on because it's work and then the weekend starts.

2093
01:42:43,640 --> 01:42:46,640
Saturday, there's always a part where we can actually make a snippet or two.

2094
01:42:46,640 --> 01:42:47,640
Exactly.

2095
01:42:47,640 --> 01:42:53,640
So, you know, hopefully in the future, we'll be able to do this with a little bit more freedom.

2096
01:42:53,640 --> 01:42:54,640
Yeah.

2097
01:42:54,640 --> 01:43:00,640
If you want to enjoy the work that we come up with on a daily basis, please do visit our Instagram,

2098
01:43:00,640 --> 01:43:02,640
TikTok, Twitter and Facebook.

2099
01:43:02,640 --> 01:43:05,640
We post our snippets there and we post some really cool pieces.

2100
01:43:05,640 --> 01:43:13,640
We post our bed slips as well in case you guys want to follow our journey to getting, I don't know, money

2101
01:43:13,640 --> 01:43:20,640
and doing something with it and like recording it for you and as well if you want some betting advice.

2102
01:43:20,640 --> 01:43:24,640
I mean, we're not one to give you betting advice, but we give you the reasons.

2103
01:43:24,640 --> 01:43:25,640
We place those bets.

2104
01:43:25,640 --> 01:43:27,640
If you think they're great reasons, you can hop on board.

2105
01:43:27,640 --> 01:43:28,640
If not, then don't.

2106
01:43:28,640 --> 01:43:32,640
It's been a pleasure having you on our one year anniversary, guys.

2107
01:43:32,640 --> 01:43:34,640
We'll see you all next week.

2108
01:43:34,640 --> 01:43:35,640
We love you.

2109
01:43:35,640 --> 01:43:36,640
We love you all.

2110
01:43:36,640 --> 01:43:37,640
Take care.

2111
01:43:37,640 --> 01:43:47,640
Bye.
