1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:11,440
Stefano Sensi, goal! Wonderful effort! Montserrat ahead in the 34th minute! An absolute belter of a free kick!

2
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:21,680
Hello and welcome back to Serie A Spotlight Season 2 Episode 7 where your host Jake and Matt

3
00:00:21,680 --> 00:00:24,960
are here to take a look at matchday 6 in Serie A.

4
00:00:24,960 --> 00:00:29,680
So as you heard from the intro, our goal of the week was Sensi's free kick against Lecce for

5
00:00:29,680 --> 00:00:34,800
Monza to take the lead. However, it was quite a tight one because Luis Alberto had a fantastic

6
00:00:34,800 --> 00:00:41,200
strike to the bottom corner, Debala had a curler to the top corner and Samardzic displayed some

7
00:00:41,200 --> 00:00:44,880
serious skill before curling the ball into the bottom corner as well.

8
00:00:44,880 --> 00:00:49,760
Honestly it was so hard to pick this one bro. I was a big fan of Luis Alberto's goal the way he

9
00:00:49,760 --> 00:00:53,200
played the defender, like pulling it and dragging it back. That was amazing.

10
00:00:53,200 --> 00:00:57,600
And last kick of the game, that on FIFA you do it by holding L2,

11
00:00:57,600 --> 00:01:00,160
square X or in your case circle X because you're weird.

12
00:01:01,120 --> 00:01:02,880
Ah yes because you do the shimmy with square.

13
00:01:02,880 --> 00:01:03,680
Yeah with square.

14
00:01:04,640 --> 00:01:07,600
That's Luis Alberto's goal, literally L2 square X.

15
00:01:07,600 --> 00:01:08,880
Yeah kind of, it's true.

16
00:01:09,520 --> 00:01:14,960
Remember to follow us guys on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, rate us 5 stars wherever you listen.

17
00:01:14,960 --> 00:01:19,200
It really helps us out with the algorithm and all that. And send us voice notes guys with your

18
00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:24,160
hot takes and your opinions or just chatting about football, we might feature you.

19
00:01:24,160 --> 00:01:29,120
Yeah last week we had Mintov and my god I'm so sorry what's the guy with M2?

20
00:01:29,120 --> 00:01:30,560
Matthias come on bro.

21
00:01:30,560 --> 00:01:35,680
Matthias, apologies Matthias. We had their fantastic takes on both teams and it's always

22
00:01:35,680 --> 00:01:41,840
different hearing them from genuine fans that follow the same team every week. We take a bit

23
00:01:41,840 --> 00:01:48,320
more of a unique stance because we try to watch as much serious as we can get but it's always

24
00:01:48,320 --> 00:01:52,960
different coming from someone that solely focuses on one club and can give you a full breakdown of

25
00:01:52,960 --> 00:01:57,440
one club. So if you're that guy send us a voice note and we will be featuring you in one of our

26
00:01:57,440 --> 00:01:57,840
episodes.

27
00:01:57,840 --> 00:02:04,080
Yeah I love these people like Matthias is a Roma fan but he follows Empoli closely you know. I know

28
00:02:04,080 --> 00:02:10,080
quite a few people like that like Mintov primarily is a United fan but he follows us all extremely

29
00:02:10,080 --> 00:02:14,960
closely. Speaking of Mintov brother I have a surprise for you. Mintov sent me a voice

30
00:02:14,960 --> 00:02:19,680
note the day after our last podcast was released and I've been holding it to show it to you at

31
00:02:19,680 --> 00:02:22,240
this moment. It's one minute long.

32
00:02:22,240 --> 00:02:22,960
Oh my god.

33
00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:32,320
Bro I mean I'm still in 26 minutes of the podcast but Matt smoked some

34
00:02:34,320 --> 00:02:38,080
I don't know man some crazy ass shit the stuff he's saying right now.

35
00:02:39,360 --> 00:02:42,800
Skorupski second best goalkeeper in Italy.

36
00:02:42,800 --> 00:02:43,440
You got them right.

37
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:55,760
Overhand, Danovic, Ciesny, Silvestri. What? Juve don't get top four. What?

38
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:04,880
I mean Guaraceria is very good but amongst the best players in the world right now.

39
00:03:04,880 --> 00:03:13,520
Man I have forgotten who there is in the world. Alan, Bappen, Neymar, even fucking Moller still

40
00:03:13,520 --> 00:03:25,520
insane. Sanen, Manen, the things they did against Inter. Benzema, Ala, Haaland, Madonna sometimes.

41
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:31,520
Mintov is that one guy that definitely takes everything too literally.

42
00:03:31,520 --> 00:03:40,160
But I have to say I'm going to defend myself in two of those things. Number one,

43
00:03:40,160 --> 00:03:44,640
sure yeah he's right Guaraceria isn't among one of the best players in the world. That's a bit

44
00:03:44,640 --> 00:03:50,880
of fun sensationalism is what I fucking call it. I'm watching the guy every week he fucking blows

45
00:03:50,880 --> 00:03:55,600
my mind. He may as well be up there among the the best players in the world at the moment.

46
00:03:55,600 --> 00:03:56,880
It's very early. It's very early.

47
00:03:56,880 --> 00:04:01,760
But Piontek would have had that shout when he was banging them in for every single game.

48
00:04:01,760 --> 00:04:06,640
Yeah but I've only seen Guaraceria play six games now. He came from the back ass of nowhere

49
00:04:06,640 --> 00:04:11,680
and suddenly he's ripping things apart. He's by far one of the best players in the league at the

50
00:04:11,680 --> 00:04:20,640
moment and he could be by the way hot take the first non-striker in Syria to compete for top

51
00:04:20,640 --> 00:04:29,040
scorer in a while this year. He might be competing for that. I think he'll eventually come back down

52
00:04:29,040 --> 00:04:33,680
to Earth though. I think this was a very good start for him of course but I think just as you

53
00:04:33,680 --> 00:04:39,840
could tell his touch is magic man. The man has the sauce in him. I don't think that's going anywhere.

54
00:04:41,280 --> 00:04:45,360
And on another note Skorupski is definitely better than Silvestri.

55
00:04:45,360 --> 00:04:55,920
I'm not sure about that. Let's not get into this debate again but you know it is quite crazy to

56
00:04:55,920 --> 00:05:00,880
put Skorupski as the second best keeper in Syria. I don't think so because he's with Bologna.

57
00:05:00,880 --> 00:05:04,960
No it's just many factors you know to take into consideration. Always the other thing.

58
00:05:06,640 --> 00:05:11,760
He said something about Juve not getting top four. I said this could be the season that

59
00:05:11,760 --> 00:05:16,560
Juve don't get top four but I never said they're not going to get top four.

60
00:05:17,120 --> 00:05:24,240
But anyway guys back to this. So Syria spotlight slips. We have officially gone bust. I repeat

61
00:05:24,240 --> 00:05:32,720
we have officially gone bust. Our first bet we made 50 euro. We were happy. We started big

62
00:05:32,720 --> 00:05:37,840
spending. It's like we've never done this before and suddenly we have no money left from a 20 euro

63
00:05:37,840 --> 00:05:44,240
pot. We're literally we're jinxing at this point. We bet on Atalanta. They're having a great start.

64
00:05:44,240 --> 00:05:48,880
They haven't lost the game. They always beat the Mennosides. Safe bet for them to beat Cremona.

65
00:05:48,880 --> 00:05:56,080
Nope. It's like Roma. Street smart to beat Udinese or draw at worst lose four. No problem. So we're

66
00:05:56,080 --> 00:06:00,400
bust basically. Are we going to put in another 20 euros the question? Of course we are bro.

67
00:06:01,040 --> 00:06:06,000
God damn right we are. We're putting them all on one game next week. All on one game.

68
00:06:06,000 --> 00:06:11,360
Now we'll discuss. But yeah we'll continue the series for sure. Just paint the graphic red.

69
00:06:12,560 --> 00:06:17,280
Exactly. We'll see you guys next week with our predictions. Now before we get into it because

70
00:06:17,280 --> 00:06:21,920
we always forget to do this. I'm going to read the results for any of you commuting at the moment.

71
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:26,720
Who don't have time to listen to the full thing. Exactly. So the first match that we're covering

72
00:06:26,720 --> 00:06:34,640
Sambodoria won Milan 2 followed by Inter 1 Torino 0. It was then Napoli that got it was a close call

73
00:06:34,640 --> 00:06:41,760
against Spezia. They won 1-0. Salernitana held Juve in Turin. Atalanta won Cremona as we were

74
00:06:41,760 --> 00:06:47,840
just discussing. Udinese keep their winning streak alive after beating Sassuolo 3-1 at the map A.

75
00:06:47,840 --> 00:06:54,800
Lazio go 2-0 up against Verona. Roma beat Empoli away 2-1. Bologna get past Fiorentina on their

76
00:06:54,800 --> 00:07:03,200
first match under new management 2-1. Relegation battlers Lecce and Monza draw 1-1. So anything

77
00:07:03,200 --> 00:07:08,640
stood out for you bro this week before we get into the particulars? Oh many things man. I don't want

78
00:07:08,640 --> 00:07:14,480
to to be honest start spitballing because we'll go off on a tangent and we'll mess up everything

79
00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:21,760
to be honest. I think it'd be a good idea to take things one by one game by game. Anything that stood out

80
00:07:21,760 --> 00:07:30,800
you don't need to comment in too much detail dog. Write a poem about it like just us. What did you like about

81
00:07:30,800 --> 00:07:36,080
this week? A lot of nice goals. What did I like about this week bro? The drama bro that's what I liked about this week

82
00:07:36,080 --> 00:07:42,560
the fucking drama. A lot of red faces. A lot of emotions bro a lot of emotions. The Milan-Sampdoria

83
00:07:42,560 --> 00:07:47,360
game was extremely difficult rather than the Milan-Sampdoria. The Juve game against Salernitana was a

84
00:07:47,360 --> 00:07:54,160
fucking masterpiece of intelligence. A lot of late goals bro. Controversy. Yeah Brozovic's late goal.

85
00:07:54,160 --> 00:08:01,200
Raspadori's late goal. Luis Alberto's late winner. This is culture. This is culture. But a fantastic week

86
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:08,000
should we without further ado jump into our first match? Let's do this boy. So the first match we're

87
00:08:08,000 --> 00:08:15,120
going to be covering is Sampdoria 1 AC Milan 2. It wasn't as easy as we would have predicted it to be

88
00:08:15,120 --> 00:08:22,160
so Sampdoria lined up in their 4-1-4-1 formation with our Gelland Berezinski as the wing backs.

89
00:08:22,160 --> 00:08:27,520
Jesus I should probably start from the keeper. So there's Audero with Augello and Berezinski in the

90
00:08:27,520 --> 00:08:33,440
wing back positions. Murillo and Ferrari forming the two centre backs. Villar in the holding midfield

91
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:40,560
spot with Sabiri and Rincon ahead of him. Out wide Juricic and Leris and Caputo up front. Milan in

92
00:08:40,560 --> 00:08:45,680
the classic 4-2-3-1 formation with Mannyan between the sticks. Calabria and Hernandez the right back

93
00:08:45,680 --> 00:08:51,760
and left back. Calullo and Kier replacing Tomori in the back line. Pobeg and Tonali in the double

94
00:08:51,760 --> 00:08:59,920
pivot. Messias, Decatilare, Leao with Giroud just ahead of them. So those are the lineups and it

95
00:08:59,920 --> 00:09:04,640
was quite an early start for Milan. They managed to get a goal in just six minutes. It was some

96
00:09:04,640 --> 00:09:10,560
great team play with a finish at the near post by Messias after a layoff by Leao. You can call it a

97
00:09:10,560 --> 00:09:16,480
layoff. It was at the near post. Audero probably should have gotten to that. It's not the first

98
00:09:16,480 --> 00:09:21,360
time we're criticising Audero at his near post. So yeah that happened to open the scoring in the

99
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:26,160
sixth minute and we're like okay gonna be quite a chill one for Miel. This round for once. They

100
00:09:26,160 --> 00:09:31,920
don't need to scrap to win a game. 17th minute Leao yellow card. Very very soft yellow card.

101
00:09:31,920 --> 00:09:37,840
47th minute second yellow for Leao for attempting an overhead kick and kicking Ferrari in the face.

102
00:09:38,480 --> 00:09:44,640
Obviously definitely a second yellow card. Milan down to 10 men and Leao misses the Napoli match

103
00:09:44,640 --> 00:09:50,880
next time round. 10 minutes later in the 57th. Sampdoria capitalised from that and Juricic scored

104
00:09:50,880 --> 00:09:57,760
with a header at the near post after an Augello cross. Thankfully for Milan fans, 10 minutes later

105
00:09:58,320 --> 00:10:03,920
after that Milan were awarded a penalty after Villar handled the ball in the box. Needed VAR.

106
00:10:03,920 --> 00:10:10,800
I don't believe any Milan players contested it and then suddenly it's at VAR. It wasn't a clear hand

107
00:10:10,800 --> 00:10:16,720
ball by Villar but it was an extended hand. Giroud stepped up and converted. There was a red card

108
00:10:16,720 --> 00:10:22,400
for Larius, a second yellow card in the 95th and I believe that was for complaining. What did you

109
00:10:22,400 --> 00:10:27,440
make of this game brother? A scrap on the half. Milan just managed to get away with three points

110
00:10:27,440 --> 00:10:34,240
from the spot. So the first thing I'd like to mention is that I wasn't too worried in the first

111
00:10:34,240 --> 00:10:39,520
half. If you look at the statistics as well Milan absolutely dominated up until the red card.

112
00:10:39,520 --> 00:10:47,600
They had nine shots. They had 57.9% ball possession. Things were going well and even just by watching

113
00:10:47,600 --> 00:10:53,200
the game you kind of understood that Sampdoria weren't really going to cause that many problems

114
00:10:53,200 --> 00:11:00,320
with their slow attacking options to be honest. Compared to Kalulu and Theo Calabria, they can

115
00:11:00,320 --> 00:11:09,200
all kind of keep up. But yeah, of course Leo got his red card quite early on. It was for an overhead

116
00:11:09,200 --> 00:11:16,320
kick as you mentioned. Kick to the player in the face. Now it might be harsh to call this naive

117
00:11:17,040 --> 00:11:23,920
but I'm going to do it anyway. You have to be I think a little bit naive or impulsive rather to

118
00:11:23,920 --> 00:11:28,320
attempt an overhead kick in a crowded area when you're on a yellow card. Especially when your

119
00:11:28,320 --> 00:11:34,240
team is leading. There's no need. Yeah he's a young flashy football player. There's not one

120
00:11:34,240 --> 00:11:38,320
situation in the world that he's not going to try that at the end of the day. I guess it's a learning

121
00:11:38,320 --> 00:11:43,600
experience. Yeah exactly. I mean it has to happen for him to learn from it. A little bit reckless

122
00:11:43,600 --> 00:11:48,320
but at the end of the day as a footballer they mainly work off of instinct. They seize the ball

123
00:11:48,320 --> 00:11:53,760
in that position. He's been practicing it. We know he's got it in his locker. We've seen so many

124
00:11:53,760 --> 00:11:59,120
clips of him nailing them. And when he hit the crossbar against Atletico but it was offside. That

125
00:11:59,120 --> 00:12:04,240
was juicy man. That was insane. Yeah but that put Milan under a lot of pressure and of course

126
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:12,480
Sampdoria played quite a clever game after that trying to overrun Milan. Quite fortunate for

127
00:12:12,480 --> 00:12:19,680
Milan to get the penalty. Again no one appealed as you said. And of course Giroud who's I run out of

128
00:12:19,680 --> 00:12:25,280
superlatives for him. Like he's honestly man he's the only striking option left. He's playing

129
00:12:25,280 --> 00:12:29,120
twice a week. What twice a week he's playing right now. Literally three times a week at times.

130
00:12:29,120 --> 00:12:31,600
Just wait for the compliment to come back. 90 minutes like and he's just playing and playing

131
00:12:31,600 --> 00:12:35,280
and playing and playing. He always gives it his all man. Like granted he's a mobile. You can't

132
00:12:35,280 --> 00:12:42,320
play him through but he doesn't stop running man. Agreed. No he's a superb player man.

133
00:12:43,280 --> 00:12:47,360
That wasn't the only thing obviously the play-by-play that I mentioned were in the only

134
00:12:47,360 --> 00:12:52,560
happenings in the game. There was Juricic that smacked the woodwork with an insane effort from

135
00:12:52,560 --> 00:12:56,800
outside the box. A curling effort. It's good to see that Juricic still has it in him. It's bad to

136
00:12:56,800 --> 00:13:01,760
see that he has it in him against Milan. Yeah and he's 5'9 and scoring headers against Milan.

137
00:13:03,440 --> 00:13:08,560
There was a great save by Outdair. I criticised Outdair for the goal that he let in for the

138
00:13:08,560 --> 00:13:13,280
Messias goal that he let in but he did have a superb save on Giroud at a point. He was very

139
00:13:13,280 --> 00:13:19,040
well placed for that and he got down well. On the header was it? Yeah on the header. Was it a header?

140
00:13:19,040 --> 00:13:24,720
I think it was a header. He dropped down and like punched it out no? Yeah I can't remember if it

141
00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:29,200
was a header or not. I just remember him getting down pretty well. Yeah it was a header. It was a

142
00:13:29,200 --> 00:13:38,320
header. And then there was in the Maltese we would describe this as a gennata. It was absolute mayhem

143
00:13:38,320 --> 00:13:44,320
in the Milan box towards the last minutes. I was watching this game at a wedding on a betting

144
00:13:44,320 --> 00:13:50,080
application. I put 250 on Milan to win so that I could be able to watch the game while drinking

145
00:13:50,080 --> 00:13:57,840
Pina Colada's at this wedding and I'm freaking out bro. Freaking out with Ozzy Lina singing like.

146
00:13:58,800 --> 00:14:01,760
What was he singing? What was playing in the background while you were watching Milan?

147
00:14:01,760 --> 00:14:09,200
Um... Plenty of room at the hotel. He kept on putting this American accent. He was going

148
00:14:09,200 --> 00:14:16,720
come on down party people. Please do not refer to me as a party person. I'm not coming down like.

149
00:14:16,720 --> 00:14:19,440
Like even if you say. Here's Caputo.

150
00:14:23,440 --> 00:14:31,440
Amazing. Yeah would you um... How big of a win is this for Milan in hindsight when you look at the

151
00:14:31,440 --> 00:14:39,040
red card? When you look at Atalanta and Napoli still remaining unbeaten. How crucial were these

152
00:14:39,040 --> 00:14:45,040
three points for Milan? They were crucial especially when you look around Milan's direct rivals all

153
00:14:45,040 --> 00:14:49,840
got their three points no? Yeah. So it was very important. Except Atalanta slipped up with the draw.

154
00:14:49,840 --> 00:14:54,640
Sure but the projected top four at least our projected top four all got their three points.

155
00:14:54,640 --> 00:14:58,400
You have Napoli, you have Milan, you have Inter and you have Roma. That's what we said at the beginning of the season.

156
00:14:58,400 --> 00:15:05,840
Where's Juve? Mintoff! Juve drew. They should have got their three points as well. Let's we'll get into that later on.

157
00:15:06,400 --> 00:15:12,000
Yeah. Really good poor guys man honestly there. But anyway there was no particular individual brilliance

158
00:15:12,000 --> 00:15:16,640
say for Milan. It was more of a team effort to get these three points and it's good to see.

159
00:15:17,200 --> 00:15:22,560
Exactly. No one really stepped up as you said like the star players like Leao and um

160
00:15:22,560 --> 00:15:26,960
Theo Hernandez you know the guys. Pobega was pretty good at midfield. That's what I was going to say.

161
00:15:26,960 --> 00:15:33,440
The guys who had to step up stepped up you know what I mean like the old reliable like

162
00:15:33,440 --> 00:15:38,000
step up. Yeah. Like Calabria had a fucking amazing game. Very good game. You know um...

163
00:15:38,000 --> 00:15:43,600
Manjaro. Pierre was good I thought. Tonali was okay again. Good performance. He had a moment you know

164
00:15:43,600 --> 00:15:47,920
where he ran the full length of the pitch and pretended to keep it and then kept going on the line.

165
00:15:47,920 --> 00:15:54,000
Yeah. Amazing. And my thought that Pobega as you said had a very very good game. I thought it was

166
00:15:54,000 --> 00:15:57,760
amazing. He released quickly. That was one of the things I was worried when I'd see him like he'd

167
00:15:57,760 --> 00:16:01,920
keep the ball for too long take an extra time. Yeah. He was releasing really well this game. I think a bit

168
00:16:01,920 --> 00:16:08,080
of continuity for him would be great. For sure. You mentioned that Theo had a good game. I think he

169
00:16:08,080 --> 00:16:14,000
was very good. I did notice Samp attacking down the right quite a bit which could be as a result of

170
00:16:14,000 --> 00:16:20,720
Theo getting forward especially in Leao's absence. Especially when switching to a 3-5, the 3-5-2.

171
00:16:21,440 --> 00:16:26,480
Was it a 3-5-2 that Milan switched? They switched to a 3 at the back. Yeah I think it was like a 3-5-1.

172
00:16:26,480 --> 00:16:33,360
Yeah of course because of the red card. It was like a 3-5-1 and Theo was going forward a lot so

173
00:16:33,360 --> 00:16:40,960
we saw Sampdoria coming down the right. But other than that like you said Milan did a great job at

174
00:16:41,520 --> 00:16:46,880
maintaining the 2-1 until the final whistle. We know Sampdoria were knocking and subsequently they

175
00:16:46,880 --> 00:16:53,440
are now in third place. Level on points with Napoli and Atalanta and Milan with plus six, Atalanta

176
00:16:53,440 --> 00:16:59,920
with plus seven and Napoli with plus nine. Sampdoria on the other hand 19th place relegation zone

177
00:16:59,920 --> 00:17:05,520
just on two points in six matches. Yep and that's what you get when you hire John Paulo.

178
00:17:06,720 --> 00:17:12,000
Literally though. Before we move on to the next game I have an update for you on Hakim Mastur

179
00:17:12,000 --> 00:17:22,720
my friend. Oh wow. Hakim Mastur. Guess how old he is by the way? 28. He's 24. What the fuck? Because he

180
00:17:22,720 --> 00:17:30,080
broke out as a young teenager. My god very young. With those youtube videos. But anyway Hakim Mastur

181
00:17:31,280 --> 00:17:36,320
has scored his second ever professional goal bro. Oh wow for who? He's currently playing for

182
00:17:36,320 --> 00:17:44,640
Renaissance and no not Renaissance Refugees the guys of Cice of Atalanta. They're in Botolatou.

183
00:17:45,920 --> 00:17:51,520
Botolatou he's playing? Yeah do you know what Botolatou is? Not at all. It's the second division

184
00:17:51,520 --> 00:17:56,960
of the Moroccan football league. Oh wow. Yeah and he's playing there and he's only scored his second

185
00:17:56,960 --> 00:18:01,760
professional goal like his first for them. I hope he's happy man. He's happy I hope he's doing well

186
00:18:01,760 --> 00:18:09,520
man. A lot of pressure it's like when I think of Mastur I think of like the home alone kid.

187
00:18:09,520 --> 00:18:13,600
I thought that people are shot to fame when they were way too young like you know what I mean.

188
00:18:13,600 --> 00:18:18,080
A lot of pressure man people tempt them to be the next fucking Maradona like relax as a kid.

189
00:18:18,080 --> 00:18:25,200
So Inter won Torino nil. Inter have not lost against Torino and Serie A bro since the 27th

190
00:18:25,200 --> 00:18:31,840
of January 2019 thanks to an Armando Itso goal and a 1-0 victory. Since then five Nerazzurri wins

191
00:18:31,840 --> 00:18:40,160
and a draw in the last match in March 2022. Inter have now beaten the Granata and the league four

192
00:18:40,160 --> 00:18:47,120
times in a row for the first time since a run of seven wins between 1969 and 1976. Can they beat

193
00:18:47,120 --> 00:18:55,920
that bro? What is this the the history channel? So Inter lined up with their classic 3-5-2 formation

194
00:18:55,920 --> 00:19:03,600
with Handanovic in goal a center back trident of DiMarco, Devri and Skriniar. Darmian on the left,

195
00:19:03,600 --> 00:19:08,160
Dumfries on the right and Kshala Noglu Brozovic and Barela in the middle with an attacking

196
00:19:08,160 --> 00:19:15,680
partnership of Lautaro Martinez and Edin Zirko. Facts. This was against Ivan Juric Torino his 3-4-2-1

197
00:19:15,680 --> 00:19:21,280
formation with Mirkovic salvaging goal. Gigi Bonjorno and Rodriguez at the back, Lazaro on the

198
00:19:21,280 --> 00:19:27,440
right, Voi Vodou on the left, Linetti and Lukic in the middle, Sanabria up front with Sek and

199
00:19:27,440 --> 00:19:34,480
Vlasic playing off his shoulders. Facts. Now the goal came in the 89th minute thanks to Marcelo

200
00:19:34,480 --> 00:19:41,840
Brozovic who was played an incredible ball by Barela who a couple of match days ago we discussed

201
00:19:41,840 --> 00:19:47,040
bro who the best italian midfielder in the league is right? At the moment what do you think? I'm

202
00:19:47,040 --> 00:19:52,240
giving you a chance to change your... I'm not just going to change my opinion because of the first

203
00:19:52,240 --> 00:20:01,840
six matches. Barela is a phenomenal man and he gets nine assists a season. The difference is that

204
00:20:01,840 --> 00:20:08,000
when Pellegrini is incredible he bangs in free kicks he assists from everywhere he scores from

205
00:20:08,000 --> 00:20:13,520
everywhere. I think Pellegrini is more of a complete player but Barela is running off way

206
00:20:13,520 --> 00:20:19,520
better form than him right now. Fair enough I tend to disagree with you but that's okay.

207
00:20:19,520 --> 00:20:25,760
That's okay bro. This is four. Yeah. But yes I think Barela is more complete bro way more complete

208
00:20:26,720 --> 00:20:30,400
especially defensively offensively can't do it all he can play a good ball he can take it. Yeah

209
00:20:30,400 --> 00:20:34,640
Pellegrini is more of an offensive player. Yeah he's more of an offensive outlet Pellegrini. In fact

210
00:20:34,640 --> 00:20:39,440
now he's struggling with Romo because he's forced to play deeper. Yeah but he has way more weapons

211
00:20:39,440 --> 00:20:43,600
going forward than Barela. Yes that's true even the fact they can hit free kicks is crazy like

212
00:20:43,600 --> 00:20:50,080
but anyway the goal came in the 89th minute Barela with an amazing ball to Brozovic who just dinks it

213
00:20:50,080 --> 00:20:57,760
over the six foot six Torino goalkeeper. I think this game bro to be honest with you Torino kind

214
00:20:57,760 --> 00:21:02,320
of deserved to take something from this one. Yeah I think you put on a performance like that against

215
00:21:02,320 --> 00:21:07,600
Inter up until the 89th minute. You deserve to take something away. Inter are one of the toughest

216
00:21:07,600 --> 00:21:12,640
teams to play against in the league and Torino did a fantastic job. I feel like they really learned

217
00:21:12,640 --> 00:21:21,760
from their big loss their 3-1 loss against Atalanta and they learned from that they came into the

218
00:21:21,760 --> 00:21:28,160
Inter game they were a little bit more organized they maintained their shape even better they were

219
00:21:28,160 --> 00:21:34,000
playing the ball around nicely they absorbed pressure really well they attacked well and I

220
00:21:34,000 --> 00:21:40,080
just feel like they they grew a lot from that experience. Yep maybe they deserved to to go

221
00:21:40,080 --> 00:21:45,840
home with a point but that's when the the effect of having magical players in your team comes off.

222
00:21:45,840 --> 00:21:51,280
You have someone like Barela to to play a fantastic ball like that and that's the difference man. Yeah

223
00:21:51,280 --> 00:21:55,440
he split them wide open man he put the ball perfectly in between the defensive line and the

224
00:21:55,440 --> 00:22:00,160
goalkeeper straight into the path of Brozovic nothing anyone could do about that honestly.

225
00:22:00,160 --> 00:22:05,440
Brozovic barely had to touch it. Hey and Brozovic is becoming quite a reliant guy up front. You

226
00:22:05,440 --> 00:22:09,520
wouldn't mind playing the ball to him. Man of the match for me was Samir Handanovic who kept

227
00:22:09,520 --> 00:22:14,720
Inter in the game like granted Inter dominated on paper but the quality of chances that Torino

228
00:22:14,720 --> 00:22:23,360
had was significantly better like Samir Handanovic ran it back man. He did and an amazing performance

229
00:22:23,360 --> 00:22:29,840
considering what Onana did in the challenge. Exactly I think his 38 year old ass will be

230
00:22:29,840 --> 00:22:34,080
looking at that saying that was me one day this guy's going to take my place no mother

231
00:22:34,080 --> 00:22:40,480
fuck this guy he's not taking my place and that's the beauty of competition that's what we always

232
00:22:40,480 --> 00:22:47,520
say. Yeah I still think that Torino are lacking a striker of course that's the only I would say

233
00:22:48,240 --> 00:22:52,560
weak point in their in their team or their main weakness right now the fact that they only have

234
00:22:52,560 --> 00:22:56,640
Sanabria over Trillian Pelegri doesn't really have much to offer. Bringing up Pelegri in the 90s.

235
00:22:56,640 --> 00:23:00,960
Yeah they don't even bring him on in the 70s they bring him on after the 75th minute every single

236
00:23:00,960 --> 00:23:08,400
game. Yeah yeah the guy's career is looking to take quite a lateral kind of step or a step

237
00:23:08,400 --> 00:23:14,880
downwards rather started at Milan. Yeah but it's not even that Sanabria and Pelegri are bad players

238
00:23:15,440 --> 00:23:22,240
it's just they're not target men and I think if you're playing with one striker up top you need

239
00:23:22,240 --> 00:23:29,360
a little bit of a target man you need a more sizeable figure that's good with his back towards

240
00:23:29,360 --> 00:23:34,080
goal there are a lot of teams that play with three at the back in Italy so you need to have strength

241
00:23:34,080 --> 00:23:40,320
at your arsenal you need to be a bit more of a complete striker think of the Vlaović, the Ozymens,

242
00:23:40,320 --> 00:23:48,000
the Immobiles, the Lautaro's strong quick individuals with great finishing and and you know

243
00:23:48,000 --> 00:23:52,080
Tammy Abraham as well and that's what they should be aiming for man they're growing Torino but

244
00:23:52,080 --> 00:23:56,640
unfortunately they're not willing to spend. Yeah they have more of a chichokaputo-esque type of

245
00:23:56,640 --> 00:24:01,360
striker you know yeah exactly but yeah anyway they're still doing very well though and I'm

246
00:24:01,360 --> 00:24:06,240
impressed by their performance once again but Inter at the end of the day got the three points

247
00:24:06,240 --> 00:24:10,880
they came for. Yeah. Are we going to address what went viral today on Twitter what was trending on

248
00:24:10,880 --> 00:24:16,560
Twitter today? I think we have to eh but how how should we do it? That's a good question. Should we

249
00:24:16,560 --> 00:24:25,280
start singing Ebony and Ivory? Should we? I don't know how are we going to introduce it? Yeah let's

250
00:24:25,280 --> 00:24:37,200
see okay so Lautaro Martinez has deactivated his Instagram account. Okay why Drake? So Inter Twitter

251
00:24:37,200 --> 00:24:42,160
seemed to have come up with the conclusion that he was treating on his wife and that's why he

252
00:24:42,160 --> 00:24:47,680
deactivated his account. Okay so you think she made him deactivated because he was being unfaithful?

253
00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:53,600
I think he deactivated it to avoid the the hate. Okay. But this is all speculation of course.

254
00:24:53,600 --> 00:24:59,920
And the true twist over here is that Lautaro Martinez deactivated his Instagram account because

255
00:24:59,920 --> 00:25:08,240
he's in a romantic relationship with Romelu Lukaku and the memes are hilarious bro they're so funny

256
00:25:08,240 --> 00:25:13,840
dude. Twitter is full of them. I love how the internet jumps on this stuff like obviously guys

257
00:25:13,840 --> 00:25:17,760
for those of you taking us seriously like this was actually trending we're not making this up but

258
00:25:18,640 --> 00:25:25,760
it's it's of course it's it's I highly doubt it's the case right? I mean like I would be totally

259
00:25:25,760 --> 00:25:34,160
behind them it would be incredible to have Inter's front two strikers two of the best strikers in the

260
00:25:34,160 --> 00:25:39,680
league openly gay and openly in a relationship fucking right power to them. Imagine like they

261
00:25:39,680 --> 00:25:45,360
score the league winning goal and they just kiss. Bro I would love that I would love that. Unfortunately

262
00:25:45,360 --> 00:25:51,760
they're not cool enough though to be to be openly gay you know what I mean? Yeah so they just

263
00:25:51,760 --> 00:25:55,360
paint their nails black and wear pearl necklaces instead. Yeah exactly.

264
00:25:58,160 --> 00:26:03,200
Lukaku would look sick in pearls. Yeah he might. Okay bro anything else you want to add about this

265
00:26:03,200 --> 00:26:09,360
game? No but I would like to know where they sit in the standings. That's a good question. So

266
00:26:09,360 --> 00:26:16,720
Inter are currently sixth with 12 points while Torino are ninth with 10 points. Fantastic. The

267
00:26:16,720 --> 00:26:22,960
next game we're going to be covering is Napoli 1 Spetsia nil. It wasn't easy at all for Napoli

268
00:26:22,960 --> 00:26:29,280
but much like Inter they got past the line at the end. So Napoli lined up with their classic 4-3-3.

269
00:26:29,280 --> 00:26:59,280
It was

270
00:26:59,280 --> 00:27:26,800
Tony in the middle with Jasi and Inzola up front. So firstly it was quite an entertaining game in the sense that Napoli were playing that free-flowing football they did against Liverpool and that they've done in the past five games of the league. However they weren't managing to get the final product and to get the ball past Dragovski. In the opening moments Kifara made Ampadu Ampapu himself.

271
00:27:26,800 --> 00:27:35,360
He turned him inside out twice and then attempted to go for the near bottom corner but Dragovski got down well.

272
00:27:36,320 --> 00:27:42,080
In the beginning of the second half and then Rui tried to head the ball back to Maret and almost scored a

273
00:27:42,080 --> 00:27:56,720
non-goal as Maret was coming out there's a miscommunication. It's good to see that Rui is still a doo-doo shit but Rahmani managed to get the ball off the line. It was then in the 89th minute that finally something went right for Napoli.

274
00:27:56,720 --> 00:28:08,800
And finally something went right for Raspadori as Lozano squared the ball past Cholito into Raspadori's path who netted into the bottom corner after not particularly having a very good game.

275
00:28:08,800 --> 00:28:17,600
A rubbish display prior to this. Yeah he had quite a... his link-up play was bad. He was always hiding between like two defenders.

276
00:28:17,600 --> 00:28:27,280
He almost looked lethargic at times. Yeah man and interesting to see after he didn't feature against Liverpool did he?

277
00:28:27,280 --> 00:28:35,520
No it was Ozzy Mann and then Diego Simeone. Diego why do I keep saying that I'm such a fucking doo-doo. Jovani Simeone.

278
00:28:35,520 --> 00:28:36,800
Stop saying doo-doo bro.

279
00:28:36,800 --> 00:28:47,680
Or a doo-doo. But he has Simeone played so I don't get why Raspadori looked so exhausted throughout man.

280
00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:53,600
But he managed to get a goal at the end. Power to him still a young guy and he can still do good things at Spezia.

281
00:28:53,600 --> 00:28:58,880
So why did Napoli struggle so much to get the ball over the line against fucking Spezia?

282
00:28:58,880 --> 00:29:05,840
That's because Spezia do this man. They hit you with the low block they try to catch you on the break and there's absolutely nothing you can do about it like.

283
00:29:05,840 --> 00:29:15,280
They're very organised. Luca Gotti has them playing quite well. I think good foundation left over by Thiago Motta.

284
00:29:15,280 --> 00:29:23,760
And the 3-5-2 kind of mirroring what we saw at Udinese last season kind of with the Spezia players.

285
00:29:23,760 --> 00:29:30,560
Every single season Spezia turn into a previous team of last season. Yeah but Italiano, they had Motta.

286
00:29:30,560 --> 00:29:40,800
Like the style changes dramatically year in year out. But yeah they've given top teams trouble before and this was simply another case and nothing seemed to be going right for Napoli either.

287
00:29:40,800 --> 00:29:51,440
Yeah 100% Napoli had the bulk of possession. They had up to 63% ball possession. They managed to get 28 shots away. 18 of those came from open play.

288
00:29:51,440 --> 00:30:04,800
Spezia weren't quiet either. They managed to get 10 shots away. 8 of them were from open play. They dispossessed Napoli on 15 different occasions.

289
00:30:04,800 --> 00:30:12,720
They were very active. They put a lot of pressure on Napoli and then when the time came they sat back and they absorbed the pressure pretty well.

290
00:30:12,720 --> 00:30:30,000
So it was a good performance overall by Spezia. Bro one thing I noticed and it's probably obvious that Napoli weren't the same side that they were against Liverpool and in the past 5 matches because the midfield was shaken up quite a bit.

291
00:30:30,000 --> 00:30:47,280
There were two major changes in the midfield. However then also taking out Guevara and probably not only because it's Guevara, not licking his ass again, but them not having that active player in their team to put all their focus on and look for when they're on the ball.

292
00:30:47,280 --> 00:30:56,560
That made them struggle a little bit and they were attacking down the right quite a bit. They were trying to play to Politano, playing the ball to Lozano and they don't have quite the same effect as Guevara does.

293
00:30:56,560 --> 00:31:00,240
So maybe they lacked a little bit of something in the second half.

294
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:09,200
Not to mention bro as well as you've already addressed this but I think one of the main things was the fact that first of all they gave everything against Liverpool.

295
00:31:09,200 --> 00:31:13,160
This was kind of a hangover for them. They're kind of tired you know and all that.

296
00:31:13,160 --> 00:31:23,200
Raspadoori does not provide the same things that Ossimen provides. In fact there are very few strikers that do so. That press like he does, that attack like he does.

297
00:31:23,200 --> 00:31:32,480
They went from playing with like a dragon up front to a donkey bro. You know what I mean?

298
00:31:32,480 --> 00:31:36,880
Raspadoori seemed to be always one step behind and couldn't create anything for himself in this game.

299
00:31:36,880 --> 00:31:39,520
Apart from until the goal he did very well on the goal.

300
00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:46,240
It was a good finish. It was put on a plate for him but you see a lot of players missing from there anyway.

301
00:31:46,240 --> 00:31:49,280
And the fact as well that they're playing a much better side now.

302
00:31:49,280 --> 00:31:56,400
Of course man. You see what happens when they play against the Premier League team. They beat them 4-1.

303
00:31:56,400 --> 00:31:58,400
4-1 4-0. What was it?

304
00:31:58,400 --> 00:32:02,640
4-1. How Bad Serie A wrote something that made me laugh.

305
00:32:02,640 --> 00:32:09,920
It's so funny guys. If you don't follow this account on Twitter called How Bad Serie A, please go watch them.

306
00:32:09,920 --> 00:32:14,880
Especially if you're one of us that's like all for Serie A and all against the Premier League.

307
00:32:14,880 --> 00:32:16,880
Pushing ridiculous propaganda.

308
00:32:16,880 --> 00:32:25,520
It's run in such a genius way. The guys are hilarious. So go give them a follow and show them something.

309
00:32:25,520 --> 00:32:27,520
Premier League legend Michael Essien.

310
00:32:27,520 --> 00:32:31,520
He came to say it.

311
00:32:31,520 --> 00:32:36,480
And Emmanuil Vidic. Best player in the Premier League. Best defender in a while.

312
00:32:36,480 --> 00:32:38,480
Really good at Inter he was guys.

313
00:32:38,480 --> 00:32:40,480
Amazing Twitter account.

314
00:32:40,480 --> 00:32:47,280
Napoli do manage at the end of the day to get another 3 points. While Spezia keep on proving time after time.

315
00:32:47,280 --> 00:32:52,880
That they bring the game to anyone. Anyone that they face.

316
00:32:52,880 --> 00:32:56,880
They're going to have a hard time against Spezia. They're a team full of hustlers.

317
00:32:56,880 --> 00:32:59,840
And it always feels like they make the right decisions with managers.

318
00:32:59,840 --> 00:33:08,720
They always seem to choose someone that shares their philosophy. These hard working and fucking tough ass motherfucking managers.

319
00:33:08,720 --> 00:33:13,520
Napoli are in first place because of their plus 9 goal difference. They have 14 points.

320
00:33:13,520 --> 00:33:17,920
While Spezia are in 15th and they are on 5 points level with Verona.

321
00:33:17,920 --> 00:33:23,920
The next game we're going to be discussing was the most controversial of the matchday.

322
00:33:23,920 --> 00:33:32,720
Juventus 2-Saler Nittana 2. Prior to this game Juventus had won 4 of their previous 6 Serie A games against Salernitana.

323
00:33:32,720 --> 00:33:37,520
Keeping 5 clean sheets and there was one drone involved in that process.

324
00:33:37,520 --> 00:33:45,520
Yes this is the history channel. Only Spezia have had fewer shots on target in the second half of Serie A games than Juventus so far this season.

325
00:33:45,520 --> 00:33:57,120
Spezia have had 0 shots on target in the second half of a Serie A game. And Juventus have had 4. So that is the second worst.

326
00:33:57,120 --> 00:34:02,720
Piontek's debut for Salernitana. This is his 4th team in Serie A. Name them.

327
00:34:02,720 --> 00:34:08,320
Genoa, Milan, Fiorentina, Cremona.

328
00:34:08,320 --> 00:34:09,120
Cremona?

329
00:34:09,120 --> 00:34:10,320
Arain Madonna.

330
00:34:10,320 --> 00:34:15,120
I'm the one that we're talking about.

331
00:34:15,120 --> 00:34:17,920
You're the one that we're talking about.

332
00:34:17,920 --> 00:34:20,320
I opened that all onto Cremona instead of Juventus.

333
00:34:20,320 --> 00:34:22,720
It's Salernitana. It's obviously Salernitana.

334
00:34:22,720 --> 00:34:28,320
Ok great. Yes you're correct. I'm trying to save you from dementia by asking these questions.

335
00:34:28,320 --> 00:34:29,920
Thank you. I fucking need it.

336
00:34:29,920 --> 00:34:37,920
Juve lined up with Perrine N'Gol, Quadrado as the right back, De Chilly as the left back and the centre back partnership of Bremer and Bonucci,

337
00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:45,520
Miretti, Paredes and McKennie in the middle with Kostic out wide, Keane on the other side and Vlaović up front.

338
00:34:45,520 --> 00:34:52,720
Salernitana lined up with a 3-5-2. Serpa N'Gol, Bron, Danilo Ljuc at the back and Fazio along with them.

339
00:34:52,720 --> 00:35:02,720
Candreva out on the right, Madzocchi out on the left, Koulibaly, Major and Vilhena in the middle and a striking partnership of Dia and Pum Pum Piontek.

340
00:35:02,720 --> 00:35:09,120
Now it all started in the 18th minute when Candreva scored. Madzocchi put it on a plate for him.

341
00:35:09,120 --> 00:35:13,520
He's fucking good this Madzocchi. He's a bright future ahead of him.

342
00:35:13,520 --> 00:35:18,720
He was terrorizing the left-hand side, squared it to Candreva who scored.

343
00:35:18,720 --> 00:35:23,120
His arms were against his body but I don't think you could call that out for a handball.

344
00:35:23,120 --> 00:35:26,320
In fact, it didn't even go too far. That doesn't really mean much.

345
00:35:26,320 --> 00:35:28,320
No, it was against his body.

346
00:35:28,320 --> 00:35:30,320
But his hands were in a natural position.

347
00:35:30,320 --> 00:35:38,720
This goal, bro, was Candreva's first goal for Salernitana and Salernitana's first goal against Juve away from home.

348
00:35:38,720 --> 00:35:39,520
Oh my god.

349
00:35:39,520 --> 00:35:48,320
Ever. The only other goal scored by Salernitana against Juve at their stadium was by Divayo in 1999.

350
00:35:48,320 --> 00:35:50,320
God.

351
00:35:50,320 --> 00:35:57,120
In the 49th minute of the first half, who handles more balls than a urologist, bro?

352
00:35:57,120 --> 00:36:01,120
Who?

353
00:36:01,120 --> 00:36:03,120
Any center back that you've assigned.

354
00:36:03,120 --> 00:36:05,120
So...

355
00:36:05,120 --> 00:36:07,920
A little delict last year, probably.

356
00:36:07,920 --> 00:36:13,520
Delict last year. Delict, bro. Handling the ball every other game. Especially at the beginning of the season.

357
00:36:13,520 --> 00:36:19,520
You had that whole joke where you're telling him, Ale, what are you playing? Ball on water?

358
00:36:19,520 --> 00:36:25,520
Pjantec shot, Bremer hit it with his hand. Pjantec had the penalty, Pjantec scored the penalty.

359
00:36:25,520 --> 00:36:27,520
Bremer hit it with his hand?

360
00:36:27,520 --> 00:36:31,520
Yeah, it was Bremer. That's why. The new Juve assigning.

361
00:36:31,520 --> 00:36:33,520
I know who Bremer is.

362
00:36:33,520 --> 00:36:35,520
No, but that's the joke.

363
00:36:35,520 --> 00:36:37,520
Okay, okay, got you.

364
00:36:37,520 --> 00:36:44,520
You know, the celebration, all that, halftime, Shambolic, everyone booing Juventus, then they come out, they're all fired up.

365
00:36:44,520 --> 00:36:48,520
They're like, we have to prove these guys wrong. We have to prove, we have to make a case for ourselves.

366
00:36:48,520 --> 00:36:51,520
There's no way. There's no way we go out like this.

367
00:36:51,520 --> 00:36:55,520
So they came out in the 51st minute. It was Bremer who got revenge.

368
00:36:55,520 --> 00:36:59,520
Kostas did really well to out muscle and dispossessed Koulibaly on the left.

369
00:36:59,520 --> 00:37:03,520
He whipped it into Bremer who headed it in dominantly. Very dominantly.

370
00:37:03,520 --> 00:37:06,520
It was one of those bouncing headers. You know, he bounced off the floor and off the net.

371
00:37:06,520 --> 00:37:08,520
Yeah, it was amazing.

372
00:37:08,520 --> 00:37:12,520
Millip shortly after struck the crossbar from a distance.

373
00:37:12,520 --> 00:37:15,520
And in the 92nd minute they left it late.

374
00:37:15,520 --> 00:37:17,520
But Juve won a penalty.

375
00:37:17,520 --> 00:37:22,520
Pressure was mounting in the box, Brodo was quadrado. He was twisting. He was turning.

376
00:37:22,520 --> 00:37:24,520
Everyone was trying to like not drop him.

377
00:37:24,520 --> 00:37:27,520
He's like hitting the ground. He's barely hitting the ground.

378
00:37:27,520 --> 00:37:30,520
Like when people are grazing him, you know, he's like ready trying to win that penalty.

379
00:37:30,520 --> 00:37:34,520
Eventually the ball ended up going to Alexandra and they just bodied him.

380
00:37:34,520 --> 00:37:36,520
Villanar just came out of nowhere and bodied him.

381
00:37:36,520 --> 00:37:42,520
Literally. The penalty was given by Bonucci. Saved by Sepe but Bonucci scored the rebound.

382
00:37:42,520 --> 00:37:46,520
No mouthwash celebration for Bonucci as this only meant that they were 2-2.

383
00:37:46,520 --> 00:37:50,520
But it's the 94th minute.

384
00:37:50,520 --> 00:37:52,520
Juventus have a corner.

385
00:37:52,520 --> 00:37:56,520
Quadrado steps up, takes the corner.

386
00:37:56,520 --> 00:37:58,520
Millik heads it home.

387
00:37:58,520 --> 00:38:02,520
He's on a yellow. Doesn't care. Takes off his t-shirt.

388
00:38:02,520 --> 00:38:06,520
Second yellow. He's off. Red card. But he's off as a hero.

389
00:38:06,520 --> 00:38:08,520
He's won them the game.

390
00:38:08,520 --> 00:38:10,520
Oh hold on a second, what's that?

391
00:38:10,520 --> 00:38:12,520
Looks like it's going too far.

392
00:38:12,520 --> 00:38:15,520
The goal is under review for a possible offside.

393
00:38:15,520 --> 00:38:21,520
Bonucci, who didn't actually touch the ball, interfered with play in an offside position.

394
00:38:21,520 --> 00:38:25,520
By attacking the ball, he has interfered with play.

395
00:38:25,520 --> 00:38:27,520
The referee goes to the monitor.

396
00:38:27,520 --> 00:38:29,520
Looks at it for a couple of seconds.

397
00:38:29,520 --> 00:38:31,520
Comes back. Calls the goal off.

398
00:38:31,520 --> 00:38:34,520
Scenes. Obscenities were thrown.

399
00:38:34,520 --> 00:38:36,520
Shoves were exchanged.

400
00:38:36,520 --> 00:38:38,520
Violence ensued.

401
00:38:38,520 --> 00:38:40,520
Reds were dished out.

402
00:38:40,520 --> 00:38:44,520
Like tax returns before an election of Mota.

403
00:38:44,520 --> 00:38:46,520
Crazy scenes bro.

404
00:38:46,520 --> 00:38:54,520
Red cards for Allegri, Fazio, Quadrado, apart from of course the half naked and almost famous Archadius Millik.

405
00:38:54,520 --> 00:38:56,520
Crazy. Absolutely crazy.

406
00:38:56,520 --> 00:38:58,520
Now it's crazy because this is the wrong decision.

407
00:38:58,520 --> 00:39:02,520
Blatantly. Shortly after the game images came out.

408
00:39:02,520 --> 00:39:04,520
Bro, it's a fact.

409
00:39:04,520 --> 00:39:08,520
Even the AI have confirmed that this was meant to be a goal.

410
00:39:08,520 --> 00:39:15,520
The entire time that this happened, first of all, let's say it the way it is.

411
00:39:15,520 --> 00:39:19,520
Juventus had a goal disallowed from a corner for offside.

412
00:39:19,520 --> 00:39:21,520
That's already funny.

413
00:39:21,520 --> 00:39:23,520
Cross goes in, striker hits it, goal.

414
00:39:23,520 --> 00:39:25,520
It's impossible to have an offside from a corner.

415
00:39:25,520 --> 00:39:29,520
Now, the only way that that's possible is if the guy who took the corner.

416
00:39:29,520 --> 00:39:31,520
Okay, so you take the corner.

417
00:39:31,520 --> 00:39:35,520
The striker hits the ball and someone else interferes with play who's ahead of everyone else.

418
00:39:35,520 --> 00:39:38,520
That's what they thought happened with Bonucci.

419
00:39:38,520 --> 00:39:43,520
He didn't actually touch the ball, but he attempted to play the ball, which counts as an offside.

420
00:39:43,520 --> 00:39:46,520
That's the literature apparently.

421
00:39:46,520 --> 00:39:54,520
But that wasn't the case because Candreva was standing 50 centimeters ahead of Bonucci the entire time by the corner flag.

422
00:39:54,520 --> 00:39:56,520
The entire time.

423
00:39:56,520 --> 00:39:59,520
I saw some images, but I didn't like.

424
00:39:59,520 --> 00:40:01,520
I thought they were Photoshopped.

425
00:40:01,520 --> 00:40:03,520
Because it looks ridiculous.

426
00:40:03,520 --> 00:40:11,520
But it's not apparently the AI came out and said that the VAR images that were available to the referee were only those.

427
00:40:11,520 --> 00:40:13,520
Yes, they didn't include the Candreva one.

428
00:40:13,520 --> 00:40:19,520
Bro, it's the most shambolic call since VAR has been introduced in Italy.

429
00:40:19,520 --> 00:40:21,520
Juve got fucking Juved, man.

430
00:40:21,520 --> 00:40:23,520
Juve got Juved, literally.

431
00:40:23,520 --> 00:40:27,520
Honestly, I was speechless.

432
00:40:27,520 --> 00:40:29,520
At least they came out with an explanation.

433
00:40:29,520 --> 00:40:31,520
They said we fucked up.

434
00:40:31,520 --> 00:40:35,520
When we un-conceited the handball to the doggy, they didn't say anything.

435
00:40:35,520 --> 00:40:43,520
I always like, firstly, my least favorite thing in the world is people who start petitions for a game to be replayed.

436
00:40:43,520 --> 00:40:45,520
A game is never going to be replayed.

437
00:40:45,520 --> 00:40:47,520
Never, ever, ever, ever, ever.

438
00:40:47,520 --> 00:40:49,520
But something just has to happen.

439
00:40:49,520 --> 00:40:51,520
There's a call like that so blatantly wrong.

440
00:40:51,520 --> 00:40:53,520
Yeah, someone has to lose his job.

441
00:40:53,520 --> 00:40:55,520
It's as simple as that.

442
00:40:55,520 --> 00:40:58,520
Someone gets suspended, they put him in a wheelchair for a bit and we move.

443
00:40:58,520 --> 00:41:00,520
That's the way it works.

444
00:41:00,520 --> 00:41:06,520
But anyway, bro, VAR, of course, this is the beginning of VAR.

445
00:41:06,520 --> 00:41:11,520
Eventually, they'll be looking at these mistakes and be like, I remember VAR before they managed to perfect it.

446
00:41:11,520 --> 00:41:13,520
That was crazy.

447
00:41:13,520 --> 00:41:15,520
They'll be making memes out of it.

448
00:41:15,520 --> 00:41:21,520
I can't believe you lose out on a goal, have a goal disallowed like that in the VAR era.

449
00:41:21,520 --> 00:41:23,520
It's fucking disgusting, man.

450
00:41:23,520 --> 00:41:30,520
Did I tell you about, by the way, Fabio Miretti being the youngest ever starter for Juventus in a Champions League game?

451
00:41:30,520 --> 00:41:31,520
No.

452
00:41:31,520 --> 00:41:37,520
He's the second youngest starter ever for Juventus in a Champions League game ever, by the way.

453
00:41:37,520 --> 00:41:39,520
You know who's first?

454
00:41:39,520 --> 00:41:42,520
No.

455
00:41:42,520 --> 00:41:44,520
Stefano Pioli.

456
00:41:44,520 --> 00:41:45,520
Yeah.

457
00:41:45,520 --> 00:41:49,520
Miretti is 19 years old and 34 days.

458
00:41:49,520 --> 00:41:54,520
Stefano Pioli was 18 years old and 335 days.

459
00:41:54,520 --> 00:41:56,520
Fuck me, you go, mister.

460
00:41:56,520 --> 00:41:58,520
Pioli breaking records.

461
00:41:58,520 --> 00:42:00,520
That's what he does.

462
00:42:00,520 --> 00:42:02,520
I thought that Juve were awful in the first half.

463
00:42:02,520 --> 00:42:05,520
I thought they reacted brilliantly, to be honest with you.

464
00:42:05,520 --> 00:42:08,520
I'm impressed as usual by Salernitana this season.

465
00:42:08,520 --> 00:42:10,520
They don't look like a team that's going down at all.

466
00:42:10,520 --> 00:42:12,520
They really gave them a game.

467
00:42:12,520 --> 00:42:18,520
To be honest with you, for that first half performance, it would have been harsh for them to go home empty-handed.

468
00:42:18,520 --> 00:42:20,520
So I think a draw is the...

469
00:42:20,520 --> 00:42:27,520
I would say a draw is the fairest result, but the fact that it's been called so unjustly says that Juve obviously deserved it.

470
00:42:27,520 --> 00:42:38,520
Yeah, I would say from Juve's reaction, how they carried themselves until the final whistle, just constantly chasing to get that goal.

471
00:42:38,520 --> 00:42:42,520
No matter in which Juve were doing it, they weren't doing it blinded.

472
00:42:42,520 --> 00:42:54,520
Sometimes on certain occasions, maybe a couple of seasons ago, we used to say Milan just used to lob the ball into Zlatan's path and into Mandzukic's path.

473
00:42:54,520 --> 00:43:02,520
They don't just knock the ball to a tall striker, but they were playing the ball around, they were switching play, they were going forward nicely.

474
00:43:02,520 --> 00:43:04,520
I think Kostić had quite a good game as well.

475
00:43:04,520 --> 00:43:09,520
He seems to be finding himself quite a bit.

476
00:43:09,520 --> 00:43:18,520
But it's tough for me to say Juve deserved any less because in actuality, for a fact, they should have gotten the three points.

477
00:43:18,520 --> 00:43:23,520
So it's very unjust for Juve fans. They have every right to be pissed off.

478
00:43:23,520 --> 00:43:26,520
Yeah, definitely. Shall we move on?

479
00:43:26,520 --> 00:43:28,520
Yes, if you can just...

480
00:43:28,520 --> 00:43:31,520
Where they are in the standings, of course.

481
00:43:31,520 --> 00:43:37,520
Juventus currently sit eighth with 10 points, as Salahin Tana sit tenth with 7 points.

482
00:43:37,520 --> 00:43:44,520
Before I continue, I just want to point out that we had the Barca Bayern game on TV.

483
00:43:44,520 --> 00:43:50,520
It was on BT Sport 4 and now wrestling has come on instead.

484
00:43:50,520 --> 00:43:55,520
I'm watching wrestling with no sound on and I'll tell you what, it's an experience, man.

485
00:43:55,520 --> 00:44:05,520
Let's just say that Lauter and Lukaku would really enjoy it.

486
00:44:05,520 --> 00:44:08,520
For a fact.

487
00:44:08,520 --> 00:44:13,520
The next game we're going to be covering is Atalanta 1-1 Cremona.

488
00:44:13,520 --> 00:44:17,520
Finally, we get to cover whatever the fuck happened here.

489
00:44:17,520 --> 00:44:25,520
Atalanta lined up with their classic 3-4-2-1 with Mussongol on the back three of Toloi, Demiral and Okoli.

490
00:44:25,520 --> 00:44:30,520
Sopie and Hatteberg were their two wing backs with Kupminers and De Rune in the middle.

491
00:44:30,520 --> 00:44:35,520
Lukman and Malinowski played just behind the goal-hungry Muriel.

492
00:44:35,520 --> 00:44:46,520
Cremona here we go again lined up with a 3-4-3 with Radu Engol, Aiwu Kirikes and La Shoska Vili.

493
00:44:46,520 --> 00:45:03,520
They had Sennikola on the right and Valeri on the left with Meite, Escalante in the middle with Pickel and Okereke out wide and Dessers in the middle.

494
00:45:03,520 --> 00:45:06,520
The Scrabbler side is starting to grow on me.

495
00:45:06,520 --> 00:45:16,520
The more I look at that and the more I watch them play and the more I could put names and qualities, faces and qualities rather to names, the more I start respecting their starting eleven.

496
00:45:16,520 --> 00:45:22,520
It's always fun with these new teams you say watching them stick out and you start learning what people do and how they play.

497
00:45:22,520 --> 00:45:24,520
And so Cremona have a nice kit man.

498
00:45:24,520 --> 00:45:25,520
They do, they really do.

499
00:45:25,520 --> 00:45:28,520
Might get myself a fucking Dessers kit.

500
00:45:28,520 --> 00:45:32,520
Or a La Shoska Vili kit or an Aska Kibar kit.

501
00:45:32,520 --> 00:45:33,520
Okereke.

502
00:45:33,520 --> 00:45:34,520
Maybe.

503
00:45:34,520 --> 00:45:43,520
So the game started off, it was quite a slow start for Atalanta, much like Napoli, they were struggling to get going.

504
00:45:43,520 --> 00:45:49,520
They did manage to find the back of the net through a Koop Miner's free kick from out wide.

505
00:45:49,520 --> 00:45:55,520
A spectacular strike but turns out it went in off the arm of Okoli.

506
00:45:55,520 --> 00:46:03,520
So VAR reviewed it and they reverted their decision and called it a handball, called it an infringement.

507
00:46:03,520 --> 00:46:14,520
And it's funny because while the ref was checking the VAR screen to see what the infringement was, the manager Alvini was just behind him looking at the same screen.

508
00:46:14,520 --> 00:46:22,520
And as soon as the image of the ball hitting Okoli's hand came on, he started freaking out screaming Mono Mono Mono!

509
00:46:22,520 --> 00:46:28,520
And tapping his hand in front of the ref and the ref looked at him and gave him a yellow like, you're not supposed to do that bro.

510
00:46:28,520 --> 00:46:40,520
And he reverted his decision but after the game, in an interview Alvini said him seeing the handball on the VAR screen was like a child seeing a bar of chocolate like.

511
00:46:40,520 --> 00:46:42,520
So likeable Alvini bro.

512
00:46:42,520 --> 00:46:47,520
He has a really really cute side to him man, he seems like a lovely man.

513
00:46:47,520 --> 00:46:48,520
He can't help but support him.

514
00:46:48,520 --> 00:46:49,520
Exactly.

515
00:46:49,520 --> 00:46:58,520
Throughout the game Cremonaizer did quite a good job to sustain Atalanta to keep them tame kind of.

516
00:46:58,520 --> 00:47:10,520
However and then it was Koop with another powerful free kick cross and Demiral flicked the ball on with his head and turned the ball to the back of the net making it 1-0 to Atalanta.

517
00:47:10,520 --> 00:47:16,520
Demiral's first goal of the season and Koop Miners once again just proving to be such a threat for Atalanta man constantly.

518
00:47:16,520 --> 00:47:27,520
Four minutes later just to fuck our bet, a Skaky bar shot was fumbled by Mussa and it was rebounded in by Valeri.

519
00:47:27,520 --> 00:47:35,520
Like sure Cremonaizer were doing a good job to stay into the game but then suddenly to shoot the ball it's fumbled by Mussa and they managed to get a rebound in.

520
00:47:35,520 --> 00:47:43,520
You could say slightly it was against the run of play but it was good to see a side like Cremonaizer getting back into the game after just being promoted.

521
00:47:43,520 --> 00:47:45,520
Atalanta were twice as good.

522
00:47:45,520 --> 00:47:49,520
They were twice as good but Cremonaizer really played up to the occasion I feel like.

523
00:47:49,520 --> 00:47:51,520
I feel like they did do what they had to do man.

524
00:47:51,520 --> 00:47:59,520
It's true away from home they got a point against Atalanta and Atalanta side that's been one of the best teams in the league so far at least table wise.

525
00:47:59,520 --> 00:48:06,520
They've been good and Cremonaizer gave them a good game and they showed that they're capable man there are no pushovers.

526
00:48:06,520 --> 00:48:12,520
I don't think there are any pushovers in Serie A right now especially with Strappa Sacht and the names being rumoured to replace him.

527
00:48:12,520 --> 00:48:17,520
I think Mussa will improve as well and you know they have to improve honestly.

528
00:48:17,520 --> 00:48:27,520
But on the topic of Cremonaizer I think that Radu has become a vital part of that team man.

529
00:48:27,520 --> 00:48:39,520
I think he's a very important figure for that team man to perform the way they are to only concede one against Atalanta would require a lot of heroics from your goalkeeper as well.

530
00:48:39,520 --> 00:48:45,520
If you don't dominate the game that result requires a great performance by your goalkeeper and that's what Radu gave them.

531
00:48:45,520 --> 00:48:53,520
Five saves today. A good goalkeeper honestly like. Blunt error prone has a blunder in him.

532
00:48:53,520 --> 00:48:54,520
Has a bad blunder in him.

533
00:48:54,520 --> 00:49:00,520
Yeah they came close to each other the two blunders we've seen from him came close to each other which sucks so much for him.

534
00:49:00,520 --> 00:49:06,520
At the end of the day he's 25 years old and his teammates must look at him and say he's still standing there.

535
00:49:06,520 --> 00:49:14,520
He's still in goal you know after what's happened to him against Bologna and then the other game against who were they when he ran?

536
00:49:14,520 --> 00:49:15,520
Fiorentina.

537
00:49:15,520 --> 00:49:22,520
Fiorentina he just walked the ball into his own net. They're looking at him as a guy who doesn't give up and that might inspire some kind of emotion.

538
00:49:22,520 --> 00:49:31,520
100% and he's a young guy as well. Good goalkeeper man. Very good goalkeeper. Very talented. Great job to keep them in the game.

539
00:49:31,520 --> 00:49:40,520
On that note well on a separate note rather. Koop Miners man. Just I know I mentioned him quite a lot.

540
00:49:40,520 --> 00:49:44,520
He can score, he can assist. This is really his breakout season. I'd say he had a good season.

541
00:49:44,520 --> 00:49:52,520
It's his versatility more than anything man. Now he's being utilized a bit more. He's not even being utilized that much more attacking than usual man.

542
00:49:52,520 --> 00:49:55,520
He just knows how to insert himself.

543
00:49:55,520 --> 00:50:05,520
Now the question is you know how we say Pasalic is the smartest player in the league. Is that a side that Gasperini can uniquely bring out in players?

544
00:50:05,520 --> 00:50:10,520
Because now I'm looking at Koop Miners and I'm saying he's a fucking shout for a smart footballer man.

545
00:50:10,520 --> 00:50:14,520
Yeah but then there's Jeremy Boggan the same thing who doesn't see anything.

546
00:50:14,520 --> 00:50:18,520
No but for center mids I think he can really transform a center mid man.

547
00:50:18,520 --> 00:50:28,520
Or their scouting department has an eye for clever players man. I think that's more like it to be honest. Adrian Mufroyler, Derun, Koop Miners, Pasalic, even Papu Gomez.

548
00:50:28,520 --> 00:50:33,520
They've had these illichich man. They managed to revive him. They managed to transform illichich into a monster dude.

549
00:50:33,520 --> 00:50:43,520
Their scouting department is top. Honestly top tier. And yeah Koop Miners is just their latest Koop in the middle of the park.

550
00:50:43,520 --> 00:50:47,520
Come on you made it once already bro. I make it every episode.

551
00:50:47,520 --> 00:50:56,520
But yeah that was basically Atalanta Cremonaise for you. That is in fact the game that fucked our bet and lost us literally all our money.

552
00:50:56,520 --> 00:51:01,520
But we live, we learn and just like Radu is still standing, baby so are we.

553
00:51:01,520 --> 00:51:02,520
Yes sir.

554
00:51:02,520 --> 00:51:03,520
So are we.

555
00:51:03,520 --> 00:51:05,520
The next game is the other game.

556
00:51:05,520 --> 00:51:11,520
Oh shit sorry I did it now. I forgot to say. Where they stand in the table.

557
00:51:11,520 --> 00:51:24,520
Atalanta second on 14 points level with Napoli and Milan. Cremonaise are in 18th and that was their second point of the season as their level on points with 19th place Sampdoria.

558
00:51:24,520 --> 00:51:34,520
Sassuolo 1 Udinese 3. A game that we predicted would be a win or a draw for Udinese. I'm judging by the history of the game.

559
00:51:34,520 --> 00:51:38,520
This matchup rather. Udinese are the dark horses of Sassuolo.

560
00:51:38,520 --> 00:51:39,520
100%.

561
00:51:39,520 --> 00:51:44,520
Sassuolo's last Serie A win against Udinese was back in March 2018.

562
00:51:44,520 --> 00:51:45,520
Madonna.

563
00:51:45,520 --> 00:51:51,520
They won 2-1. Udinese have won 5 of the last 9 of such meetings with 4 draws.

564
00:51:51,520 --> 00:51:56,520
Sassuolo have only won one of their last 9 home matches played against Udinese.

565
00:51:56,520 --> 00:52:01,520
Oh not of their loss of their 9 games at home to Udinese in general rather.

566
00:52:01,520 --> 00:52:05,520
This was a 1-0 victory in September 2016.

567
00:52:05,520 --> 00:52:08,520
So yeah interesting.

568
00:52:08,520 --> 00:52:11,520
Sassuolo lined up with Conceali in goal.

569
00:52:11,520 --> 00:52:12,520
Rogério on the left.

570
00:52:12,520 --> 00:52:13,520
Antolian on the right.

571
00:52:13,520 --> 00:52:16,520
Ferrari and Rouen as the centre back partnership.

572
00:52:16,520 --> 00:52:19,520
Henrique Lopez and Frattesi in the middle.

573
00:52:19,520 --> 00:52:21,520
Keiakopoulos on the left.

574
00:52:21,520 --> 00:52:25,520
And Laurenti the new boy on the right with Pena Monti leading the charge.

575
00:52:25,520 --> 00:52:27,520
Silvestri in goal for Udinese.

576
00:52:27,520 --> 00:52:30,520
Perez, Bacow and Ebbosse on the back.

577
00:52:30,520 --> 00:52:32,520
At the back. Ebbosse.

578
00:52:32,520 --> 00:52:35,520
He doesn't have the key.

579
00:52:35,520 --> 00:52:36,520
Who the fuck?

580
00:52:36,520 --> 00:52:37,520
We watched this game.

581
00:52:37,520 --> 00:52:39,520
Who is he?

582
00:52:39,520 --> 00:52:42,520
No we attempted to watch this game.

583
00:52:42,520 --> 00:52:43,520
The TV was fucking up.

584
00:52:43,520 --> 00:52:50,520
But we were kind of flicking between this Bologna Fiorentina and Lecce Monza.

585
00:52:50,520 --> 00:52:52,520
We were kind of flicking between them all.

586
00:52:52,520 --> 00:52:53,520
I think we watched Lecce Monza.

587
00:52:53,520 --> 00:52:56,520
We watched most of that because the quality was the best on that and plus.

588
00:52:56,520 --> 00:52:57,520
And it's a fucking good game.

589
00:52:57,520 --> 00:53:02,520
I mean I love watching two teams that were just promoted to Serie A from Serie B

590
00:53:02,520 --> 00:53:05,520
playing each other because they know something about each other

591
00:53:05,520 --> 00:53:07,520
that other teams don't.

592
00:53:07,520 --> 00:53:10,520
So I always find these matchups super interesting.

593
00:53:10,520 --> 00:53:14,520
And in the Serie A they could play out way differently than how they played out in Serie A.

594
00:53:14,520 --> 00:53:16,520
It's like a Serie A-Ber game at the end of the day.

595
00:53:16,520 --> 00:53:17,520
It becomes a scrap.

596
00:53:17,520 --> 00:53:18,520
Literally.

597
00:53:18,520 --> 00:53:19,520
It becomes a free-for-all.

598
00:53:19,520 --> 00:53:20,520
Literally.

599
00:53:20,520 --> 00:53:25,520
Pereira on the right, Udodji on the left, Arslan Wallace and Lovric in the middle

600
00:53:25,520 --> 00:53:27,520
with Deolefeu and Sakses up front.

601
00:53:27,520 --> 00:53:31,520
So one of the top scorers in the league, Beto, is on the bench for them.

602
00:53:31,520 --> 00:53:33,520
They just bring him on as a luxury pick.

603
00:53:33,520 --> 00:53:34,520
They can do that.

604
00:53:34,520 --> 00:53:35,520
They can do that.

605
00:53:35,520 --> 00:53:43,520
In the 33rd minute, Frattesi scored after mystery man Ebosse gave the ball away clumsily

606
00:53:43,520 --> 00:53:48,520
and Sassuolo linked up well with a move that ended in Frattesi beating Silvestri at his near post.

607
00:53:48,520 --> 00:53:50,520
Silvestri should have probably done better over here.

608
00:53:50,520 --> 00:53:51,520
That's Gorubski.

609
00:53:51,520 --> 00:53:52,520
Yeah.

610
00:53:52,520 --> 00:53:58,520
In the 43rd minute, Ruan got a red card after tripping Isaac's success as he was about to break through.

611
00:53:58,520 --> 00:54:02,520
It would have been one-on-one with the goalkeeper and that changed the game to be honest.

612
00:54:02,520 --> 00:54:04,520
It brought Dineze back into it.

613
00:54:04,520 --> 00:54:08,520
They weren't really out of it, but it gave them a clear advantage.

614
00:54:08,520 --> 00:54:11,520
It did take until the 75th minute.

615
00:54:11,520 --> 00:54:12,520
It did.

616
00:54:12,520 --> 00:54:13,520
They fought well.

617
00:54:13,520 --> 00:54:16,520
But it was in the 75th minute, of course, where Beto scored.

618
00:54:16,520 --> 00:54:22,520
There was a good sequence of play and Pereira ended up crossing from the byline to Beto who scored.

619
00:54:22,520 --> 00:54:26,520
In the 91st minute was Samoar Zic who scored one of our goals of the week.

620
00:54:26,520 --> 00:54:28,520
An amazing goal from the edge of the area.

621
00:54:28,520 --> 00:54:32,520
He shimmied his way centrally and curled it in. Great goal.

622
00:54:32,520 --> 00:54:35,520
We're discussing whether he curled it in or whether he drove it in.

623
00:54:35,520 --> 00:54:37,520
I think it's more of a curl.

624
00:54:37,520 --> 00:54:40,520
I think at the end of it, he placed it.

625
00:54:40,520 --> 00:54:41,520
Yeah.

626
00:54:41,520 --> 00:54:42,520
Round the keeper.

627
00:54:42,520 --> 00:54:43,520
You know what I mean?

628
00:54:43,520 --> 00:54:44,520
The trajectory was...

629
00:54:44,520 --> 00:54:46,520
There was much of a curve to it, I feel.

630
00:54:46,520 --> 00:54:48,520
I feel like I scouted Samoar Zic, bro.

631
00:54:48,520 --> 00:54:55,520
If you listen back, I was saying his name when he was just coming on as a nobody last season.

632
00:54:55,520 --> 00:54:56,520
Make a clip.

633
00:54:56,520 --> 00:54:58,520
God knows which episode it's in.

634
00:54:58,520 --> 00:55:03,520
Unless it's called Samoar Zic Massive Cock.

635
00:55:03,520 --> 00:55:05,520
I'm not going to be able to find it.

636
00:55:05,520 --> 00:55:08,520
Great goal by him, of course.

637
00:55:08,520 --> 00:55:12,520
In the 92nd minute, the Swallowers were so demoralised that they just ripped through them.

638
00:55:12,520 --> 00:55:15,520
Once again, it was love, which we played a through ball to Beto,

639
00:55:15,520 --> 00:55:21,520
who scored and did his insanely alpha celebration where he knees his own chest.

640
00:55:21,520 --> 00:55:24,520
He pops his chest out and goes like...

641
00:55:24,520 --> 00:55:27,520
It's a crazy, crazy cool celebration.

642
00:55:27,520 --> 00:55:30,520
They ended up winning 3-1.

643
00:55:30,520 --> 00:55:35,520
Difficult to tell and to criticise Sassuolo, to be honest, when they were a man down.

644
00:55:35,520 --> 00:55:38,520
Especially considering how Odinese have been playing.

645
00:55:38,520 --> 00:55:43,520
At the end of the day, Roma conceded four against this Odinese team.

646
00:55:43,520 --> 00:55:50,520
I know it's our goal of Dionisi and Sassuolo to brush up their back line.

647
00:55:50,520 --> 00:55:58,520
But you manage to contain Odinese for 75 minutes and then you get a little bit fatigued.

648
00:55:58,520 --> 00:56:02,520
And then Odinese are bringing on motherfuckers like Samoar Zic and Beto.

649
00:56:02,520 --> 00:56:05,520
And tell me what the hell can you do, man?

650
00:56:05,520 --> 00:56:10,520
I mean, they tried and then after they conceded the second, they're like, fuck this, man.

651
00:56:10,520 --> 00:56:13,520
And then subsequently they conceded the third.

652
00:56:13,520 --> 00:56:16,520
Four goals for Beto this season, bro.

653
00:56:16,520 --> 00:56:19,520
He's having another breakout season, is it?

654
00:56:19,520 --> 00:56:22,520
Because last year he had a good spell and vanish.

655
00:56:22,520 --> 00:56:24,520
It's the Giovanni Simeone curse.

656
00:56:24,520 --> 00:56:27,520
He gets a lot of goals in short spaces of time.

657
00:56:27,520 --> 00:56:30,520
And then he goes long stretches without goals.

658
00:56:30,520 --> 00:56:32,520
Let's see if it can be different this time.

659
00:56:32,520 --> 00:56:34,520
He's being utilised with less pressure.

660
00:56:34,520 --> 00:56:38,520
Odinese have won four, drawn one and lost one, bro, this season.

661
00:56:38,520 --> 00:56:40,520
The one lost coming against Milan.

662
00:56:40,520 --> 00:56:42,520
First game of the season, probably the best time to play with them.

663
00:56:42,520 --> 00:56:45,520
Honestly, it would be terrible to play them right now.

664
00:56:45,520 --> 00:56:49,520
They're so inspired. That would beat Milan 4-3, like it would be one of those.

665
00:56:49,520 --> 00:56:50,520
Well, it's a swallow, bro.

666
00:56:50,520 --> 00:56:52,520
Do you think they'll get things going this season?

667
00:56:52,520 --> 00:56:54,520
It's really difficult for them to play without Barraiai.

668
00:56:54,520 --> 00:56:56,520
They will get things going.

669
00:56:56,520 --> 00:56:59,520
One thing they'll start doing is beating teams that are worse than them.

670
00:56:59,520 --> 00:57:00,520
That's how they'll start.

671
00:57:00,520 --> 00:57:02,520
They need to have a string of these games.

672
00:57:02,520 --> 00:57:04,520
They'll get their momentum going and they'll be fine.

673
00:57:04,520 --> 00:57:10,520
At the end of the day, one thing that's important to mention is they're playing without Barraiai as well.

674
00:57:10,520 --> 00:57:12,520
But new guy with an assist.

675
00:57:12,520 --> 00:57:13,520
The shit thing.

676
00:57:13,520 --> 00:57:22,520
But the shit thing about that is Sassuolo without Barraiai are shown less respect than Sassuolo with Barraiai.

677
00:57:22,520 --> 00:57:23,520
By who?

678
00:57:23,520 --> 00:57:24,520
By other teams.

679
00:57:24,520 --> 00:57:29,520
So if other teams say, for example, we want to attack in this crazy manner against Sassuolo,

680
00:57:29,520 --> 00:57:31,520
Barraiai can catch us on the break.

681
00:57:31,520 --> 00:57:33,520
So let's be a bit more cautious.

682
00:57:33,520 --> 00:57:38,520
Since maybe they don't feel like Sassuolo have that guy in their team,

683
00:57:38,520 --> 00:57:42,520
have their main guy that can make things click for them and make things happen,

684
00:57:42,520 --> 00:57:45,520
they show no respect to them.

685
00:57:45,520 --> 00:57:49,520
They play the way that they want to.

686
00:57:49,520 --> 00:57:51,520
They play entertaining football.

687
00:57:51,520 --> 00:57:52,520
They show both a little bit.

688
00:57:52,520 --> 00:57:53,520
You know what I mean?

689
00:57:53,520 --> 00:57:54,520
True.

690
00:57:54,520 --> 00:57:55,520
We'll see what this new guy can do.

691
00:57:55,520 --> 00:58:02,520
And of course, remember that at some point, Trauer is coming in and they better respect Trauer because he'll rip them a new one.

692
00:58:02,520 --> 00:58:11,520
But honestly, look at Sassuolo's team and try to find someone that can provide a serious threat.

693
00:58:11,520 --> 00:58:13,520
Let's say make something out of nothing.

694
00:58:13,520 --> 00:58:15,520
There are a few players in the team.

695
00:58:15,520 --> 00:58:17,520
I think the midfield is full of talent.

696
00:58:17,520 --> 00:58:19,520
I think the midfield three are all capable of creating something.

697
00:58:19,520 --> 00:58:24,520
But their front three, if you look at it as it is right now, which is unfair, and I know because their main guys are injured.

698
00:58:24,520 --> 00:58:28,520
If you have Popolus on the left, of course, he's not going to be a great threat.

699
00:58:28,520 --> 00:58:29,520
Exactly.

700
00:58:29,520 --> 00:58:31,520
Because he's mainly a full back.

701
00:58:31,520 --> 00:58:35,520
That's having Lazović as a left winger at Lazio kind of thing.

702
00:58:35,520 --> 00:58:40,520
Yeah, the new guy needs to settle and Panamonti up front still finding his scoring.

703
00:58:40,520 --> 00:58:42,520
I really hope he does, Panamonti.

704
00:58:42,520 --> 00:58:44,520
When he gets going, that guy is super entertaining.

705
00:58:44,520 --> 00:58:46,520
Same.

706
00:58:46,520 --> 00:58:48,520
Shall we move on to the...actually, I'll tell you where they stand.

707
00:58:48,520 --> 00:58:50,520
My god.

708
00:58:50,520 --> 00:58:52,520
Drink every time we do that.

709
00:58:52,520 --> 00:58:55,520
Yeah, Colin's sick tomorrow, guys.

710
00:58:55,520 --> 00:59:00,520
So, Udinese are currently fourth with 13 points.

711
00:59:00,520 --> 00:59:02,520
What a start.

712
00:59:02,520 --> 00:59:05,520
Sassuolo are in 13th with six points.

713
00:59:05,520 --> 00:59:09,520
A bit of a slow start for them, but it's not too detrimental right now.

714
00:59:09,520 --> 00:59:13,520
So, the next game we're going to be covering is Lazio 2, Verona nil.

715
00:59:13,520 --> 00:59:21,520
So, Lazio played in their 4-3-3 formation with Providel in goal, Maricic, Patrick, Cazale and Lazare being their four defenders,

716
00:59:21,520 --> 00:59:25,520
with Amit Piltri of Basic, Antonio and Milinkovic-Savic.

717
00:59:25,520 --> 00:59:29,520
Up front, they had Ciro Mabile partnered by Zakani and Philippe Anderson.

718
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:33,520
Verona, on the other hand, played that 3-4-1-2 formation, Monte Paul in goal,

719
00:59:33,520 --> 00:59:41,520
Ceccherini, Hien and Coppola being their three defenders, Terracciano and Doregaute wide with Illich and Veloza in two holding with field rolls,

720
00:59:41,520 --> 00:59:44,520
and Lazovic in a more attacking with field roll.

721
00:59:44,520 --> 00:59:50,520
Onri and Lazania formed that formidable striking partnership, if you want to call it that.

722
00:59:50,520 --> 00:59:53,520
Everyone was terrified of them.

723
00:59:53,520 --> 00:59:57,520
So, the scoring was opened in the 68th minute by Ciro Mabile.

724
00:59:57,520 --> 01:00:04,520
It was a header after a cross to the far post by Milinkovic-Savic, a brilliant cross to the far post, those two guys together.

725
01:00:04,520 --> 01:00:06,520
And I think it's a fact.

726
01:00:06,520 --> 01:00:07,520
Yeah, it's a stat.

727
01:00:07,520 --> 01:00:15,520
It's a stat that they are the partnership that have scored the most goals basically with Savic having the most assists.

728
01:00:15,520 --> 01:00:16,520
Most direct assists to a striker.

729
01:00:16,520 --> 01:00:18,520
Exactly. And Mabile having the most goals.

730
01:00:18,520 --> 01:00:21,520
And in the top five, there was also Luis Alberto to Mabile.

731
01:00:21,520 --> 01:00:23,520
So, Mabile is the guy you want at the end of your…

732
01:00:23,520 --> 01:00:27,520
Exactly, exactly, because he's so well-rounded, like we said earlier.

733
01:00:27,520 --> 01:00:33,520
That was his 185th Serie A goal. Quite a landmark. Can he hit 200 this year?

734
01:00:33,520 --> 01:00:35,520
I mean, probably, man.

735
01:00:35,520 --> 01:00:37,520
185 goals.

736
01:00:37,520 --> 01:00:39,520
Yeah, in Serie A.

737
01:00:39,520 --> 01:00:43,520
That's crazy, yeah. I can't think of 185 things I've done.

738
01:00:43,520 --> 01:00:49,520
Yeah, neither can I. Well done to Ciro Mabile.

739
01:00:49,520 --> 01:00:52,520
He'll definitely be one of the top scorers this year again.

740
01:00:52,520 --> 01:00:54,520
By the way.

741
01:00:54,520 --> 01:01:02,520
And then it was in the 94th minute. It was actually the last kick of the game that Alberto scored one of the goals of the season so far.

742
01:01:02,520 --> 01:01:05,520
And it almost made top goal this week.

743
01:01:05,520 --> 01:01:12,520
He stopped and rolled the ball past the defender and he finished into the bottom corner from just inside the area.

744
01:01:12,520 --> 01:01:16,520
It was the last kick of the game. It was just a magical move by a magical player.

745
01:01:16,520 --> 01:01:33,520
When things start going for Luis Alberto and he's on form, he's unstoppable, man. And it's exciting to see the dilemma that Sarri must have of, okay, my system or sheer quality, sheer tantrum of the best midfielders in the league, for sure when he's on at least.

746
01:01:33,520 --> 01:01:36,520
So that was the last kick of the game and lots of cruised.

747
01:01:36,520 --> 01:01:38,520
Sarri's finding success with bringing him off the bench.

748
01:01:38,520 --> 01:01:42,520
Yeah, the problem is will Luis Alberto's pride be too much?

749
01:01:42,520 --> 01:01:46,520
Like, can you keep doing this to him or will he throw a tantrum?

750
01:01:46,520 --> 01:01:48,520
Yeah, and he has thrown tantrums before.

751
01:01:48,520 --> 01:01:53,520
Yeah, and I don't think he has the best relationship with Sarri either.

752
01:01:53,520 --> 01:02:00,520
So it's a matter of do I want to play this cunt? He's such a diva. He's always doing this. He's always doing that.

753
01:02:00,520 --> 01:02:03,520
And Sarri is always scoring bad.

754
01:02:03,520 --> 01:02:05,520
Sarri will drop you if you step out of line.

755
01:02:05,520 --> 01:02:07,520
You know what? Okay, I'm saying that.

756
01:02:07,520 --> 01:02:13,520
But then he had this caper taking the piss out of him. So maybe I should take that back a little bit.

757
01:02:13,520 --> 01:02:15,520
I'll take it back.

758
01:02:15,520 --> 01:02:20,520
I said Lazio cruised in this game, but they really didn't cruise. It was made tough by Verona.

759
01:02:20,520 --> 01:02:23,520
I know Verona have dipped and Lazio are looking really good.

760
01:02:23,520 --> 01:02:27,520
Just probably why Lazio won this game. But Verona brought it to Lazio.

761
01:02:27,520 --> 01:02:34,520
Monty Pogh kept them in the game quite a bit. He saved that and had a Maricic attempt.

762
01:02:34,520 --> 01:02:39,520
It was a brilliant attempt by Maricic. It was heading right in and he got there.

763
01:02:39,520 --> 01:02:45,520
He fingertip the Basic rocket onto the bar. That was a superb save.

764
01:02:45,520 --> 01:02:50,520
And then in return, Hellas clipped the woodwork with Thomas Henry.

765
01:02:50,520 --> 01:02:53,520
So it's not like they weren't threatening either.

766
01:02:53,520 --> 01:02:58,520
And Cancellari scored offside for Lazio against his parent club.

767
01:02:58,520 --> 01:03:04,520
When I saw it, I was like, how many times is this going to happen?

768
01:03:04,520 --> 01:03:06,520
They're one of their legs.

769
01:03:06,520 --> 01:03:11,520
It's actually a thing. You score against your ex. Is it because you know your teammates better?

770
01:03:11,520 --> 01:03:13,520
You know your opponent better?

771
01:03:13,520 --> 01:03:15,520
It's a mental thing.

772
01:03:15,520 --> 01:03:18,520
You're like, I have to do it. I have something to prove. You play better. It's like a final.

773
01:03:18,520 --> 01:03:21,520
I think you're just more, for some reason, more comfortable.

774
01:03:21,520 --> 01:03:23,520
I think you're more determined.

775
01:03:23,520 --> 01:03:26,520
People are happy to see you. OK, but you're competing with them.

776
01:03:26,520 --> 01:03:28,520
You feel a bit like a hero.

777
01:03:28,520 --> 01:03:31,520
It's a bit more of a friendlier environment.

778
01:03:31,520 --> 01:03:35,520
At the end of the day, he's a young guy that's out on loan to the fans.

779
01:03:35,520 --> 01:03:37,520
And the fans don't hate him.

780
01:03:37,520 --> 01:03:41,520
It's not like he did them at their age. It's like a child and ugly relationship.

781
01:03:41,520 --> 01:03:46,520
So he must feel comfortable in that setting. He did manage to get a goal, but it was offside, I'm afraid.

782
01:03:46,520 --> 01:03:48,520
I really like Cancellari.

783
01:03:48,520 --> 01:03:51,520
He's good, man. I thought he should get more minutes at Verona.

784
01:03:51,520 --> 01:03:54,520
He was coming on at the very end, man, towards the end of the season.

785
01:03:54,520 --> 01:04:00,520
That's true. He's only 20. He's a big man. He's strong. He can dribble really well as well.

786
01:04:00,520 --> 01:04:02,520
He's good. He's got a good pace to him as well.

787
01:04:02,520 --> 01:04:06,520
He reminds me a bit of Chiesa, the way he plays.

788
01:04:06,520 --> 01:04:08,520
He's bigger. He's clunkier than Chiesa.

789
01:04:08,520 --> 01:04:09,520
That's true.

790
01:04:09,520 --> 01:04:10,520
But he glides.

791
01:04:10,520 --> 01:04:17,520
Yeah, exactly. That layout effect, but obviously on a much smaller scale.

792
01:04:17,520 --> 01:04:21,520
Lots of you are looking quite steady, bro. Lots of you are looking good.

793
01:04:21,520 --> 01:04:22,520
They are. They're looking decent.

794
01:04:22,520 --> 01:04:26,520
Bear in mind, they beat Inter as well. I'm acting all shocked.

795
01:04:26,520 --> 01:04:30,520
It's true. I'd like to see their last five games.

796
01:04:30,520 --> 01:04:34,520
Their streak is win-draw, win-draw, loss-win.

797
01:04:34,520 --> 01:04:37,520
Yeah, so they have three wins, two draws and one loss.

798
01:04:37,520 --> 01:04:39,520
I mean, not the best start, but they're still competitive.

799
01:04:39,520 --> 01:04:43,520
Of course, they had a few tough fixtures over here.

800
01:04:43,520 --> 01:04:46,520
They had Napoli, they had Inter.

801
01:04:46,520 --> 01:04:49,520
Quite tough. Verona are no easy feet as well.

802
01:04:49,520 --> 01:04:52,520
Sampdoria, they could have done better against.

803
01:04:52,520 --> 01:04:53,520
But anyway.

804
01:04:53,520 --> 01:05:00,520
But yeah, they're definitely going to compete for that top six spot.

805
01:05:00,520 --> 01:05:02,520
They're going to want Europe.

806
01:05:02,520 --> 01:05:04,520
Yes, top six will compete.

807
01:05:04,520 --> 01:05:10,520
Will they get it? I'm not sure, but there's always just a one to four point gap

808
01:05:10,520 --> 01:05:13,520
between not making it to Europe and making it to Europe. They'll be there.

809
01:05:13,520 --> 01:05:18,520
They have subtly dipped. They were a top four team a few years ago.

810
01:05:18,520 --> 01:05:21,520
And then they made it to the end of the game.

811
01:05:21,520 --> 01:05:22,520
They have dipped.

812
01:05:22,520 --> 01:05:27,520
And now it seems that they've settled as this top six kind of ambitious team.

813
01:05:27,520 --> 01:05:30,520
Europa League would be their main objective, I think.

814
01:05:30,520 --> 01:05:35,520
And it's interesting to see if, because obviously Lazio had to adapt to the new

815
01:05:35,520 --> 01:05:38,520
change in management because they had in Zaghi for a while.

816
01:05:38,520 --> 01:05:46,520
If they'd have to go through that again, should Sarrinot maintain his spot as their head coach?

817
01:05:46,520 --> 01:05:50,520
So they'll have to adapt to another manager soon if he doesn't keep his place.

818
01:05:50,520 --> 01:05:54,520
I think they're trying to build a philosophy at Lazio.

819
01:05:54,520 --> 01:05:58,520
Like they're trying to really implement Sarrinot's philosophy.

820
01:05:58,520 --> 01:06:03,520
You know, and that with a little bit of pragmatism, they could really get things going

821
01:06:03,520 --> 01:06:06,520
and they can make it work, taking it a few points.

822
01:06:06,520 --> 01:06:11,520
I think it'll take them a couple of years to really see this happen.

823
01:06:11,520 --> 01:06:15,520
Two years, maybe most of they managed to hold on to Sarrinot.

824
01:06:15,520 --> 01:06:18,520
Maybe I can see them again pushing for top four, but some changes need to be made

825
01:06:18,520 --> 01:06:21,520
and Lotito needs to invest, of course.

826
01:06:21,520 --> 01:06:25,520
Yeah, I mean, there's only so much a man can do without his tools, you know what I mean?

827
01:06:25,520 --> 01:06:27,520
Exactly.

828
01:06:27,520 --> 01:06:32,520
Lazio find themselves in seventh on 11 points.

829
01:06:32,520 --> 01:06:37,520
So they're right where we said they would be, fighting for that top six spot at the moment.

830
01:06:37,520 --> 01:06:42,520
Obviously, all jokes aside, they're just three points behind league leaders,

831
01:06:42,520 --> 01:06:44,520
Napoli, Atalanta and Milan.

832
01:06:44,520 --> 01:06:50,520
Whereas Verona are down in 14th and they have five points in six matches.

833
01:06:50,520 --> 01:06:52,520
They've only won one game so far this season.

834
01:06:52,520 --> 01:06:54,520
They lost three and they drew two.

835
01:06:54,520 --> 01:06:58,520
So things need to pick up on the other hand for Verona.

836
01:06:58,520 --> 01:07:01,520
Yeah, they need to get their shit ticking.

837
01:07:01,520 --> 01:07:03,520
Yeah, one thing I'll say.

838
01:07:03,520 --> 01:07:05,520
They have many positives though.

839
01:07:05,520 --> 01:07:07,520
They do. They do. They're a tough side to face.

840
01:07:07,520 --> 01:07:11,520
They still have that hustle and that grind in them.

841
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:15,520
They do lack a bit more of creativity since Barack has left.

842
01:07:15,520 --> 01:07:17,520
Yes, that's evident.

843
01:07:17,520 --> 01:07:19,520
We've seen Laziovic playing centrally, no?

844
01:07:19,520 --> 01:07:22,520
Exactly, which isn't ideal for them.

845
01:07:22,520 --> 01:07:25,520
For my fun thoughts, a bit more ideal because it's closer to goal.

846
01:07:25,520 --> 01:07:28,520
But otherwise, no.

847
01:07:28,520 --> 01:07:30,520
Go ahead, King. Your go.

848
01:07:30,520 --> 01:07:33,520
So up next, we have Roma.

849
01:07:33,520 --> 01:07:37,520
Roma took on Napoli away from home and beat them to one.

850
01:07:37,520 --> 01:07:42,520
Roma are now unbeaten in their last 13 games against Empoli, winning their last six in a row.

851
01:07:42,520 --> 01:07:46,520
Their best streak against a team tied with Crotone.

852
01:07:46,520 --> 01:07:49,520
They had beaten Crotone six times in a row as well.

853
01:07:49,520 --> 01:07:55,520
Now, Roma lined up with Patricio on goal, Mancini smalling and the Baniers at the back,

854
01:07:55,520 --> 01:08:00,520
Cielic on the right and Spinazzola on the left, Matich and Cristante in the middle.

855
01:08:00,520 --> 01:08:03,520
De Baal and Pellegrini flanking Abraham up front.

856
01:08:03,520 --> 01:08:08,520
Empoli lined up with Vicaria on goal, Stajanovic on the right, Parisi on the left,

857
01:08:08,520 --> 01:08:11,520
Luperto and Ismael as a centre-back partnership,

858
01:08:11,520 --> 01:08:14,520
Bandinelli, Marin and Huss as the midfield trident,

859
01:08:14,520 --> 01:08:19,520
Piaka behind the strikers who are Lammers and the Satriano.

860
01:08:19,520 --> 01:08:21,520
In the 17th minute, De Baal scored.

861
01:08:21,520 --> 01:08:25,520
Mancini's cross was cleared by Luperto onto the path of De Baal,

862
01:08:25,520 --> 01:08:27,520
who scored a wonderful goal.

863
01:08:27,520 --> 01:08:28,520
Amazing goal it was.

864
01:08:28,520 --> 01:08:30,520
One of our goals of the week as well.

865
01:08:30,520 --> 01:08:32,520
It's such a classic De Baal goal.

866
01:08:32,520 --> 01:08:34,520
It's literally the standard De Baal.

867
01:08:34,520 --> 01:08:38,520
If De Baal scores a great goal, I think it's exactly like that.

868
01:08:38,520 --> 01:08:39,520
Exactly.

869
01:08:39,520 --> 01:08:41,520
Coilard, perfectly placed.

870
01:08:41,520 --> 01:08:45,520
Shortly after, Satriano struck the post from a Parisi cross.

871
01:08:45,520 --> 01:08:49,520
In the 43rd minute, Bandinelli scored an amazing goal.

872
01:08:49,520 --> 01:08:54,520
The thing that was amazing about this was the Stajanovic ball, in my opinion.

873
01:08:54,520 --> 01:08:57,520
The cross was really good and it was a commanding header by him.

874
01:08:57,520 --> 01:09:01,520
So it wasn't like a screamer or like a crazy skill move or something,

875
01:09:01,520 --> 01:09:03,520
but a well orchestrated move.

876
01:09:03,520 --> 01:09:04,520
Yeah, I agree.

877
01:09:04,520 --> 01:09:07,520
Satriano missed an easy one on one to be honest shortly after this.

878
01:09:07,520 --> 01:09:09,520
He missed two big chances this game.

879
01:09:09,520 --> 01:09:12,520
He toe poked it past the keeper.

880
01:09:12,520 --> 01:09:15,520
In the 71st minute, Tammy Abraham managed to score the winner.

881
01:09:15,520 --> 01:09:18,520
It was a perfect ball by De Baal, speaking of perfect crosses.

882
01:09:18,520 --> 01:09:20,520
This one was incredible as well.

883
01:09:20,520 --> 01:09:24,520
To Abraham, who smacked it into Vicario, who couldn't keep it out.

884
01:09:24,520 --> 01:09:26,520
Fun fact about Tammy Abraham, bro.

885
01:09:26,520 --> 01:09:27,520
Tell me.

886
01:09:27,520 --> 01:09:31,520
She has become the first English footballer in Serie A history

887
01:09:31,520 --> 01:09:35,520
to score under two different rulers of England.

888
01:09:37,520 --> 01:09:39,520
Now that's a stat, huh?

889
01:09:39,520 --> 01:09:40,520
That is a stat.

890
01:09:40,520 --> 01:09:43,520
That is what they call a curtsultana stat, no?

891
01:09:43,520 --> 01:09:45,520
Yeah, a curtsultana stat, exactly.

892
01:09:45,520 --> 01:09:48,520
At the end of the game, bro, Pellegrini missed a penalty

893
01:09:48,520 --> 01:09:51,520
on his 200th appearance for the club.

894
01:09:51,520 --> 01:09:54,520
Things aren't looking great for Pellegrini.

895
01:09:54,520 --> 01:09:55,520
Not right now, not right now.

896
01:09:55,520 --> 01:09:58,520
Since he's had to take a deeper role to allow De Baal to play,

897
01:09:58,520 --> 01:10:01,520
he hasn't looked as good as he typically does.

898
01:10:01,520 --> 01:10:03,520
Now he's returned to that more attacking role

899
01:10:03,520 --> 01:10:05,520
because of Zaniolo's injury.

900
01:10:05,520 --> 01:10:08,520
But we're still not seeing that Pellegrini.

901
01:10:08,520 --> 01:10:12,520
It has to be the mental game, man, because we know he has it.

902
01:10:12,520 --> 01:10:15,520
Unless it's an injury, it's the mental game, I'm sure.

903
01:10:15,520 --> 01:10:18,520
Akpa Akpro hit the post from a distance.

904
01:10:18,520 --> 01:10:19,520
He's the Lazio Loni.

905
01:10:19,520 --> 01:10:23,520
In the 87th minute, he kicked smalling in the face,

906
01:10:23,520 --> 01:10:25,520
and he got sent off.

907
01:10:25,520 --> 01:10:28,520
So that was a good cameo by him, but he looks useful, huh?

908
01:10:28,520 --> 01:10:29,520
He looks really useful.

909
01:10:29,520 --> 01:10:32,520
He would be useful, he's not a shambolic player.

910
01:10:32,520 --> 01:10:33,520
No, no, he's good.

911
01:10:33,520 --> 01:10:37,520
He has, obviously, his style and his experience

912
01:10:37,520 --> 01:10:38,520
would bring a lot to Empoli.

913
01:10:38,520 --> 01:10:41,520
Someone that can break down play quite nicely.

914
01:10:41,520 --> 01:10:43,520
I was speaking to Matthias.

915
01:10:43,520 --> 01:10:48,520
He said that Hus, he gets that he starts

916
01:10:48,520 --> 01:10:50,520
because he's an industrious kind of player.

917
01:10:50,520 --> 01:10:54,520
But he wouldn't be surprised if Akpa Akpro benched him,

918
01:10:54,520 --> 01:10:57,520
or even Piajka, to be honest, in that required to stop position.

919
01:10:57,520 --> 01:10:59,520
It's more likely to be there, actually.

920
01:10:59,520 --> 01:11:00,520
He doesn't really rate Piajka.

921
01:11:00,520 --> 01:11:02,520
What do you think of Piajka?

922
01:11:02,520 --> 01:11:06,520
I quite like a bit on and off Piajka, I would say.

923
01:11:06,520 --> 01:11:07,520
That's my thing, his spell.

924
01:11:07,520 --> 01:11:08,520
He's useful, man.

925
01:11:08,520 --> 01:11:11,520
He comes in handy, but I see him more in a row

926
01:11:11,520 --> 01:11:12,520
like coming off the bench.

927
01:11:12,520 --> 01:11:13,520
Yeah, that's true.

928
01:11:13,520 --> 01:11:14,520
You know what I mean?

929
01:11:14,520 --> 01:11:16,520
I wouldn't want him starting in my team,

930
01:11:16,520 --> 01:11:17,520
but he's a good coup to have.

931
01:11:17,520 --> 01:11:20,520
Maybe sometimes he'll be on form and he'll start.

932
01:11:20,520 --> 01:11:23,520
I was saying they probably signed him just because of his CV,

933
01:11:23,520 --> 01:11:24,520
to be honest.

934
01:11:24,520 --> 01:11:26,520
He has a lot of experience, he has that Juve card

935
01:11:26,520 --> 01:11:28,520
and he can just throw out there.

936
01:11:28,520 --> 01:11:32,520
But he's a player who comes into the game and phases out of it.

937
01:11:32,520 --> 01:11:34,520
And then comes into the game again and phases out of it.

938
01:11:34,520 --> 01:11:36,520
He's not a consistent player at all.

939
01:11:36,520 --> 01:11:37,520
Exactly.

940
01:11:37,520 --> 01:11:38,520
So he's probably good for this Empoli.

941
01:11:38,520 --> 01:11:41,520
They have many of those, to be honest.

942
01:11:41,520 --> 01:11:44,520
Their manager probably being one of them.

943
01:11:44,520 --> 01:11:48,520
Zanetti with his beautiful style of football.

944
01:11:48,520 --> 01:11:50,520
But anyway, at the end of the game, bro,

945
01:11:50,520 --> 01:11:52,520
we saw Bellotti one on one with the goalkeeper.

946
01:11:52,520 --> 01:11:55,520
He shot, at first I thought he skied it,

947
01:11:55,520 --> 01:11:56,520
but he didn't actually sky-dive.

948
01:11:56,520 --> 01:12:00,520
He forced Vicario into a wonderful, wonderful save.

949
01:12:00,520 --> 01:12:02,520
Big miss for Bellotti, to be honest,

950
01:12:02,520 --> 01:12:05,520
but an impressive save nonetheless by Vicario.

951
01:12:05,520 --> 01:12:06,520
What do you think, bro?

952
01:12:06,520 --> 01:12:10,520
Mourinho at the end of the game said that things are looking terrible

953
01:12:10,520 --> 01:12:12,520
considering the way they're playing.

954
01:12:12,520 --> 01:12:14,520
Okay.

955
01:12:14,520 --> 01:12:16,520
What does he mean? What does he exactly mean by that?

956
01:12:16,520 --> 01:12:18,520
He's basically saying performance-wise,

957
01:12:18,520 --> 01:12:22,520
like judging by these performances, they are not there, no.

958
01:12:22,520 --> 01:12:25,520
No, and I agree, I don't think they're there right now.

959
01:12:25,520 --> 01:12:28,520
But we covered this a little bit in our last episode.

960
01:12:28,520 --> 01:12:31,520
At the end of the day, they're getting points.

961
01:12:31,520 --> 01:12:34,520
Now they're needing to hustle, they're needing to fatigue themselves,

962
01:12:34,520 --> 01:12:38,520
they're needing to probably pick up a few injuries to get these points.

963
01:12:38,520 --> 01:12:40,520
So the question is how sustainable is that?

964
01:12:40,520 --> 01:12:42,520
And probably not very sustainable.

965
01:12:42,520 --> 01:12:46,520
So they need to get things going, they need to be a little bit more fluid,

966
01:12:46,520 --> 01:12:48,520
they need to be a bit more adventurous.

967
01:12:48,520 --> 01:12:52,520
It looks like they play with a bit of a stick in their asses sometimes, man.

968
01:12:52,520 --> 01:12:53,520
It's true.

969
01:12:53,520 --> 01:12:55,520
Unless it's Debala carrying the ball forward.

970
01:12:55,520 --> 01:12:58,520
Now that they've lost Zaniolo carrying the ball forward as well,

971
01:12:58,520 --> 01:13:03,520
before they had two of those, and they still weren't that exciting to watch,

972
01:13:03,520 --> 01:13:05,520
but they were better.

973
01:13:05,520 --> 01:13:08,520
So I can't wait for Zaniolo to come back

974
01:13:08,520 --> 01:13:12,520
and to see Roma hopefully growing into a more fluid side.

975
01:13:12,520 --> 01:13:14,520
Yeah, they're much better with them.

976
01:13:14,520 --> 01:13:17,520
There was a game earlier this season, I was surprised they didn't score four.

977
01:13:17,520 --> 01:13:18,520
I think it was Kramarji.

978
01:13:18,520 --> 01:13:20,520
I think it was the first game of the season, bro.

979
01:13:20,520 --> 01:13:21,520
That or the second.

980
01:13:21,520 --> 01:13:23,520
They were so good against them.

981
01:13:23,520 --> 01:13:28,520
But yeah, Roma, bro, again, it's true that they've had a few problems.

982
01:13:28,520 --> 01:13:33,520
What I find funny is that what Mourinho says and what Tammy Abraham says

983
01:13:33,520 --> 01:13:34,520
are two completely different things.

984
01:13:34,520 --> 01:13:37,520
Tammy's like, I feel good, I got the goal.

985
01:13:37,520 --> 01:13:40,520
Mourinho's like, we're in trouble if we keep playing like this.

986
01:13:40,520 --> 01:13:46,520
But Mourinho has had that relationship with many of his players, man.

987
01:13:46,520 --> 01:13:47,520
Many of his players.

988
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:51,520
And they ended in one or two ways.

989
01:13:51,520 --> 01:13:56,520
The first one being they take that criticism,

990
01:13:56,520 --> 01:14:01,520
they improve, and they become one of the top goal scorers in the league.

991
01:14:01,520 --> 01:14:05,520
Or as they end up loaned out or they end up leaving to a shit side.

992
01:14:05,520 --> 01:14:09,520
That's what normally happens when Mourinho gives that treatment to players.

993
01:14:09,520 --> 01:14:10,520
So which one will it be?

994
01:14:10,520 --> 01:14:15,520
I personally think that Tammy has so much love for the club

995
01:14:15,520 --> 01:14:20,520
and he is so confident in his abilities and he's willing to work hard.

996
01:14:20,520 --> 01:14:24,520
So I think he'll get Mourinho's backing.

997
01:14:24,520 --> 01:14:25,520
I think he has Mourinho's backing.

998
01:14:25,520 --> 01:14:26,520
Yeah, I think so too.

999
01:14:26,520 --> 01:14:29,520
And it's just Mourinho giving that facade.

1000
01:14:29,520 --> 01:14:31,520
He's, again, 24 years old.

1001
01:14:31,520 --> 01:14:32,520
He'll still grow.

1002
01:14:32,520 --> 01:14:37,520
I think he needs to put on a bit of muscle, improve his hold-up play,

1003
01:14:37,520 --> 01:14:38,520
and he'll turn into a very good striker.

1004
01:14:38,520 --> 01:14:41,520
He's getting the goals though to help him with his confidence.

1005
01:14:41,520 --> 01:14:42,520
The one against Juve was massive, for example.

1006
01:14:42,520 --> 01:14:44,520
That kept him afloat.

1007
01:14:44,520 --> 01:14:47,520
And this one might plunge him forward.

1008
01:14:47,520 --> 01:14:49,520
But we'll see.

1009
01:14:49,520 --> 01:14:51,520
Nothing I really want to add about this game, bro.

1010
01:14:51,520 --> 01:14:55,520
I feel that Roma, did they deserve this victory?

1011
01:14:55,520 --> 01:15:01,520
Let me ask you, did Roma deserve to win this?

1012
01:15:01,520 --> 01:15:05,520
I wouldn't say they definitely deserve to get away with three points

1013
01:15:05,520 --> 01:15:07,520
because it was made very hard for them.

1014
01:15:07,520 --> 01:15:10,520
But you know what I always say, man, at the end of the day,

1015
01:15:10,520 --> 01:15:13,520
if you scrap hard enough to get that goal, no matter how you get it,

1016
01:15:13,520 --> 01:15:16,520
then it shows you had something that the other team didn't.

1017
01:15:16,520 --> 01:15:17,520
Yeah, true.

1018
01:15:17,520 --> 01:15:21,520
Be it a stroke of luck or be it a stroke of genius.

1019
01:15:21,520 --> 01:15:26,520
So I would say that Roma deserved all three points.

1020
01:15:26,520 --> 01:15:27,520
However, it was a tight encounter.

1021
01:15:27,520 --> 01:15:29,520
It was a tight encounter, it's true.

1022
01:15:29,520 --> 01:15:31,520
And they probably did deserve the points.

1023
01:15:31,520 --> 01:15:34,520
Empoli had their chances, they couldn't really take them.

1024
01:15:34,520 --> 01:15:36,520
Exactly.

1025
01:15:36,520 --> 01:15:38,520
Where are they in the table?

1026
01:15:38,520 --> 01:15:42,520
So Roma are currently fifth with 13 points,

1027
01:15:42,520 --> 01:15:45,520
while Empoli are 16th with four points.

1028
01:15:45,520 --> 01:15:49,520
OK, the next game we're going to be covering is Bologna 2, Fiorentina 1.

1029
01:15:49,520 --> 01:15:53,520
Once again, Fiorentina failing to pick up points over here.

1030
01:15:53,520 --> 01:15:57,520
So this was Luca Vigiani's first game in charge of Bologna.

1031
01:15:57,520 --> 01:16:00,520
So he's the under-19 coach of Bologna,

1032
01:16:00,520 --> 01:16:03,520
but he was called up to look after the team

1033
01:16:03,520 --> 01:16:06,520
while Mihailović obviously was sacked

1034
01:16:06,520 --> 01:16:09,520
and they're currently in the process of onboarding someone else.

1035
01:16:09,520 --> 01:16:10,520
Probably Mota.

1036
01:16:10,520 --> 01:16:11,520
They wanted...

1037
01:16:11,520 --> 01:16:14,520
Oh yeah, is Mota confirmed?

1038
01:16:14,520 --> 01:16:15,520
I think yes, pretty much.

1039
01:16:15,520 --> 01:16:17,520
Because I know that Zerbi rejected them.

1040
01:16:17,520 --> 01:16:21,520
Zerbi rejected Bologna, but I think they're very close to Mota.

1041
01:16:21,520 --> 01:16:24,520
I think some pages were even confirmed.

1042
01:16:24,520 --> 01:16:27,520
Vigiani, just to give you a bit of a background,

1043
01:16:27,520 --> 01:16:29,520
he was a super average midfielder.

1044
01:16:29,520 --> 01:16:32,520
Played a bit in Serie A, but played a bit in Serie A too.

1045
01:16:32,520 --> 01:16:33,520
OK, cool.

1046
01:16:33,520 --> 01:16:34,520
I totally appreciate that.

1047
01:16:34,520 --> 01:16:36,520
Have you ever had a stint in Mota?

1048
01:16:36,520 --> 01:16:39,520
No, he didn't.

1049
01:16:39,520 --> 01:16:42,520
Bologna lined up in a 3-5-2,

1050
01:16:42,520 --> 01:16:46,520
so nothing really new over there with Skorupski in goal,

1051
01:16:46,520 --> 01:16:50,520
the second best goalkeeper in the league.

1052
01:16:50,520 --> 01:16:53,520
With Lukumi Medell and Posz as the back three,

1053
01:16:53,520 --> 01:16:56,520
some names I've never seen before over there.

1054
01:16:56,520 --> 01:16:58,520
Campiasso and Cassius as their two wing backs,

1055
01:16:58,520 --> 01:17:01,520
with Soriano, Schouten and Arbisher in the middle,

1056
01:17:01,520 --> 01:17:03,520
Arnautovic and Barrow up front.

1057
01:17:03,520 --> 01:17:06,520
For Fiorentina, it was a 4-3-3,

1058
01:17:06,520 --> 01:17:09,520
with Terracciano in goal, not Gollini.

1059
01:17:09,520 --> 01:17:13,520
Dodo, Quarta, Igor and Biragi being their back four,

1060
01:17:13,520 --> 01:17:18,520
so once again, seeing a bit of versatility by Fiorentina.

1061
01:17:18,520 --> 01:17:21,520
Bonaventura, Amrabat and Barak in the midfield,

1062
01:17:21,520 --> 01:17:22,520
nice midfield.

1063
01:17:22,520 --> 01:17:25,520
Kwame and Sotil out wide, with Jovic up front.

1064
01:17:25,520 --> 01:17:27,520
Still unsure about that.

1065
01:17:27,520 --> 01:17:31,520
So it was Fiorentina that opened the scoring.

1066
01:17:31,520 --> 01:17:35,520
It was a stroke of genius by,

1067
01:17:35,520 --> 01:17:38,520
I know his number one fan club by Saponara, Ricky Saponara.

1068
01:17:38,520 --> 01:17:39,520
Come on, Ricky!

1069
01:17:39,520 --> 01:17:43,520
It was a gorgeous assist by him.

1070
01:17:43,520 --> 01:17:45,520
That's the moment of brilliance.

1071
01:17:45,520 --> 01:17:48,520
Exactly, that's the moment of brilliance that we talk about.

1072
01:17:48,520 --> 01:17:53,520
Now in the next maybe three games, he'll score a goal and then he'll disappear.

1073
01:17:53,520 --> 01:17:57,520
Exactly, and then we'll be here calling him a little bit unfit,

1074
01:17:57,520 --> 01:17:59,520
but a genius nonetheless.

1075
01:17:59,520 --> 01:18:00,520
Exactly.

1076
01:18:00,520 --> 01:18:02,520
So it was genius by him.

1077
01:18:02,520 --> 01:18:06,520
He juggled the ball around the defender and he squared it to the far post,

1078
01:18:06,520 --> 01:18:08,520
low heart to the far post.

1079
01:18:08,520 --> 01:18:10,520
Probably a bit lucky that no one picked it up over there,

1080
01:18:10,520 --> 01:18:14,520
but the defence might have been lucky that the first striker didn't pick it up over there,

1081
01:18:14,520 --> 01:18:19,520
as it was Martinez Quarta that ended up getting at the end of it

1082
01:18:19,520 --> 01:18:21,520
and getting his first goal this season.

1083
01:18:21,520 --> 01:18:24,520
Martinez Quarta is being that centre-back that can get a couple of goals.

1084
01:18:24,520 --> 01:18:26,520
He puts himself in those positions.

1085
01:18:26,520 --> 01:18:27,520
That's true.

1086
01:18:27,520 --> 01:18:29,520
Bologna then equalised.

1087
01:18:29,520 --> 01:18:31,520
It was just five minutes later.

1088
01:18:31,520 --> 01:18:33,520
It was Moussa Barrow that got the goal.

1089
01:18:33,520 --> 01:18:38,520
So Igor failed to control that desperate blob by Arnautovic.

1090
01:18:38,520 --> 01:18:40,520
It was embarrassing defending by Igor.

1091
01:18:40,520 --> 01:18:42,520
Barrow carried the ball forward.

1092
01:18:42,520 --> 01:18:46,520
Still a bit of work to do and managed to finish past the goalkeeper

1093
01:18:46,520 --> 01:18:48,520
and finish past Terracciano.

1094
01:18:48,520 --> 01:18:50,520
So 1-1 at that point.

1095
01:18:50,520 --> 01:18:54,520
And then it was only around 13 minutes later

1096
01:18:54,520 --> 01:18:58,520
that Arnautovic managed to get the lead for Bologna.

1097
01:18:58,520 --> 01:19:01,520
This time Quarta failed to get rid of the ball,

1098
01:19:01,520 --> 01:19:04,520
but it seemed like he was elbowed in the head by Cassius Bro,

1099
01:19:04,520 --> 01:19:06,520
because he went down and it looked like he got out-muscled,

1100
01:19:06,520 --> 01:19:09,520
but in the replay you literally see an elbow to the head

1101
01:19:09,520 --> 01:19:11,520
and he goes down holding his head.

1102
01:19:11,520 --> 01:19:13,520
That's when you stop play.

1103
01:19:13,520 --> 01:19:16,520
So it was interesting because the ref saw it

1104
01:19:16,520 --> 01:19:19,520
and he was wagging his finger like, no, he didn't do anything to you.

1105
01:19:19,520 --> 01:19:22,520
And played on, no Varchek, no nothing.

1106
01:19:22,520 --> 01:19:27,520
It was then square to Arnautovic with Terracciano scrambling

1107
01:19:27,520 --> 01:19:30,520
and he slotted into the back of the net.

1108
01:19:30,520 --> 01:19:33,520
Almost kind of missed by the way.

1109
01:19:33,520 --> 01:19:38,520
Into the side, netting too close for comfort.

1110
01:19:38,520 --> 01:19:41,520
But his sixth goal of the year, at the end of the day,

1111
01:19:41,520 --> 01:19:45,520
I was telling a Man United fan today, I was talking to Ed,

1112
01:19:45,520 --> 01:19:49,520
and I'm like, you missed out on a good player Arnautovic,

1113
01:19:49,520 --> 01:19:52,520
he has six goals this year.

1114
01:19:52,520 --> 01:19:55,520
I'm like, yeah, I can't complain right now as a United fan

1115
01:19:55,520 --> 01:19:57,520
because suddenly things are going well for me,

1116
01:19:57,520 --> 01:19:59,520
but we could use six goals up front.

1117
01:19:59,520 --> 01:20:02,520
So don't be too quick to judge, guys.

1118
01:20:02,520 --> 01:20:06,520
In the 91st minute there was a really funny moment.

1119
01:20:06,520 --> 01:20:11,520
We're watching the game and a player is carrying the ball forward

1120
01:20:11,520 --> 01:20:15,520
in the 96th minute for Bologna.

1121
01:20:15,520 --> 01:20:19,520
And Igor is tracing him.

1122
01:20:19,520 --> 01:20:22,520
And the commentator goes, Igor's got to be careful,

1123
01:20:22,520 --> 01:20:24,520
he's on a yellow card.

1124
01:20:24,520 --> 01:20:30,520
As he finishes the sentence, Igor just takes out the man completely.

1125
01:20:30,520 --> 01:20:32,520
Just lunges into it.

1126
01:20:32,520 --> 01:20:37,520
Gets zero ball and he clatters the guy on the ball.

1127
01:20:37,520 --> 01:20:40,520
The commentator was almost disappointed.

1128
01:20:40,520 --> 01:20:42,520
He wasn't even happy he called.

1129
01:20:42,520 --> 01:20:43,520
Literally.

1130
01:20:43,520 --> 01:20:45,520
I go, no.

1131
01:20:45,520 --> 01:20:47,520
So Igor got sent off in the 96th minute

1132
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:51,520
and he had only picked up his first yellow card in the 91st.

1133
01:20:51,520 --> 01:20:54,520
So good to see Bologna getting some points.

1134
01:20:54,520 --> 01:20:58,520
It was a tight match against Fiorentina, tighter than we thought it would be.

1135
01:20:58,520 --> 01:21:00,520
We thought Fiorentina would get the win over here.

1136
01:21:00,520 --> 01:21:02,520
Or at least a draw.

1137
01:21:02,520 --> 01:21:07,520
But Bologna once again getting points when Sinise isn't in the picture.

1138
01:21:07,520 --> 01:21:10,520
So we saw it last year at the end of the season.

1139
01:21:10,520 --> 01:21:13,520
Might have been motivation, obviously, because of the situation,

1140
01:21:13,520 --> 01:21:18,520
but it might also be he's not the man doing the tactics at the end of the day.

1141
01:21:18,520 --> 01:21:20,520
It's a second-hand man.

1142
01:21:20,520 --> 01:21:23,520
And with their second-hand man, they managed to get a win against Fiorentina

1143
01:21:23,520 --> 01:21:26,520
in the first match, so what do you have to say about that?

1144
01:21:26,520 --> 01:21:29,520
Their first win of the season, bro.

1145
01:21:29,520 --> 01:21:30,520
Massive display by them.

1146
01:21:30,520 --> 01:21:32,520
Fiorentina once again disappointing.

1147
01:21:32,520 --> 01:21:35,520
They really have to get their shit together.

1148
01:21:35,520 --> 01:21:37,520
Yeah, not much else to say really.

1149
01:21:37,520 --> 01:21:41,520
Yeah, they lack a bit of creativity.

1150
01:21:41,520 --> 01:21:46,520
They did fucking try, that's for sure.

1151
01:21:46,520 --> 01:21:48,520
They were attacking quite often.

1152
01:21:48,520 --> 01:21:50,520
They were aggressive.

1153
01:21:50,520 --> 01:21:52,520
They stole the ball a lot from Bologna.

1154
01:21:52,520 --> 01:21:56,520
They were breaking down their play and they were managing to get forward.

1155
01:21:56,520 --> 01:21:59,520
They have options in midfield.

1156
01:21:59,520 --> 01:22:02,520
They have options up front in every single position.

1157
01:22:02,520 --> 01:22:04,520
Left wing, they have a bunch of options.

1158
01:22:04,520 --> 01:22:05,520
Right wing, a bunch of options.

1159
01:22:05,520 --> 01:22:09,520
Striker, they have two good options on paper.

1160
01:22:09,520 --> 01:22:12,520
In midfield, they have many versatile players, can do different things.

1161
01:22:12,520 --> 01:22:17,520
But then at the back, they don't really have any substitutes for their starters who are capable.

1162
01:22:17,520 --> 01:22:21,520
Yeah, you could say they have Igor, but for example, Igor played here

1163
01:22:21,520 --> 01:22:23,520
and he had a terrible display.

1164
01:22:23,520 --> 01:22:28,520
I'm just seeing his rating over here, 4.1 and I know he got a red.

1165
01:22:28,520 --> 01:22:31,520
But he was also at fault for the goal.

1166
01:22:31,520 --> 01:22:33,520
You know what, I think he failed to control the ball.

1167
01:22:33,520 --> 01:22:37,520
So terrible display by him and replacing, like, if Milenkovich was injured,

1168
01:22:37,520 --> 01:22:39,520
they have to bring this guy on.

1169
01:22:39,520 --> 01:22:42,520
That's a significant, that's too hard a downgrade, man.

1170
01:22:42,520 --> 01:22:44,520
Even if Quarta is injured.

1171
01:22:44,520 --> 01:22:45,520
Look, I don't mind Igor.

1172
01:22:45,520 --> 01:22:48,520
I thought he had a good spell last season.

1173
01:22:48,520 --> 01:22:50,520
He had a good season last season, to be honest with you.

1174
01:22:50,520 --> 01:22:54,520
But these performances this season are really worrying.

1175
01:22:54,520 --> 01:22:57,520
And it's not that Milenkovich has been great.

1176
01:22:57,520 --> 01:23:01,520
And even Martina Skvarta has dipped a bit from that good moment he had last season.

1177
01:23:01,520 --> 01:23:04,520
So things are looking quite shaky for them at the back.

1178
01:23:04,520 --> 01:23:06,520
I'd say Biragi is the only consistent one.

1179
01:23:06,520 --> 01:23:10,520
Dodo looks good, but I think he got injured.

1180
01:23:10,520 --> 01:23:12,520
Did he get injured?

1181
01:23:12,520 --> 01:23:14,520
He definitely got subbed out.

1182
01:23:14,520 --> 01:23:15,520
Yeah, he got substituted.

1183
01:23:15,520 --> 01:23:16,520
I think he got injured.

1184
01:23:16,520 --> 01:23:17,520
Was it due to injury?

1185
01:23:17,520 --> 01:23:20,520
I don't think so. So things are looking a bit grim for them over there.

1186
01:23:20,520 --> 01:23:21,520
Okay.

1187
01:23:21,520 --> 01:23:24,520
And obviously they still have that weird ongoing thing with Gonzalez,

1188
01:23:24,520 --> 01:23:29,520
where no one knows if he's injured or on his way out or hungover.

1189
01:23:29,520 --> 01:23:31,520
Waiting for the cocaine to leave the system.

1190
01:23:31,520 --> 01:23:33,520
Exactly. So we don't know.

1191
01:23:33,520 --> 01:23:37,520
But on the other hand, a really, really good sign for a Bologna side

1192
01:23:37,520 --> 01:23:39,520
that always deserved more than they got.

1193
01:23:39,520 --> 01:23:44,520
And finally they managed to get their big win and their first win of the season

1194
01:23:44,520 --> 01:23:46,520
by beating Fiorentina 2-1.

1195
01:23:46,520 --> 01:23:49,520
And out of it, once again showing that he's the man.

1196
01:23:49,520 --> 01:23:56,520
Again, Soriano, Arbisheir and Schouten aren't looking too bad.

1197
01:23:56,520 --> 01:23:58,520
They're not looking too bad at all.

1198
01:23:58,520 --> 01:24:00,520
They're okay. I mean, they're good players on paper.

1199
01:24:00,520 --> 01:24:01,520
Yeah.

1200
01:24:01,520 --> 01:24:03,520
And it's been a while since Soriano played well.

1201
01:24:03,520 --> 01:24:05,520
It's true. It's true.

1202
01:24:05,520 --> 01:24:07,520
But yeah, big win for Bologna.

1203
01:24:07,520 --> 01:24:09,520
First match without Sinisa.

1204
01:24:09,520 --> 01:24:13,520
And onwards and upwards, they find themselves in 12th.

1205
01:24:13,520 --> 01:24:17,520
And they are in fact level on points with Fiorentina who are in 11th.

1206
01:24:17,520 --> 01:24:18,520
Lit.

1207
01:24:18,520 --> 01:24:22,520
So the next game was Lecce 1-Monsa 1.

1208
01:24:22,520 --> 01:24:27,520
Lecce have won their last two league games against Monza in Serie B.

1209
01:24:27,520 --> 01:24:30,520
So coming into this game, Monza were the underdog.

1210
01:24:30,520 --> 01:24:35,520
In fact, Monza have not won any of their two games away to Lecce

1211
01:24:35,520 --> 01:24:38,520
and have not scored a single goal in any of those games.

1212
01:24:38,520 --> 01:24:39,520
Okay.

1213
01:24:39,520 --> 01:24:41,520
Listen to the stat.

1214
01:24:41,520 --> 01:24:47,520
Lecce have both the player with the most clearances in Serie A this season,

1215
01:24:47,520 --> 01:24:50,520
Federico Basquerotto,

1216
01:24:50,520 --> 01:24:54,520
and the player with the most tackles so far this season,

1217
01:24:54,520 --> 01:24:56,520
Morten Hümlund.

1218
01:24:56,520 --> 01:24:58,520
And they also have Umtiti on the bench.

1219
01:24:58,520 --> 01:25:00,520
So they're looking pretty good, huh?

1220
01:25:00,520 --> 01:25:01,520
Yeah.

1221
01:25:01,520 --> 01:25:02,520
Defensively at least.

1222
01:25:02,520 --> 01:25:03,520
They're looking decent.

1223
01:25:03,520 --> 01:25:06,520
So Lecce lined up with Falcone and Goal,

1224
01:25:06,520 --> 01:25:09,520
Pezella on the left and Gendry on the right.

1225
01:25:09,520 --> 01:25:13,520
With Basquerotto and Pongracic at the back.

1226
01:25:13,520 --> 01:25:17,520
Bistrovic, Hümlund and Helgesen in the midfield.

1227
01:25:17,520 --> 01:25:21,520
Banda on the left and Di Francesco on the right with Cissé up front.

1228
01:25:21,520 --> 01:25:27,520
While Monza lined up with 3-5-2 formation with Di Gregorio on goal.

1229
01:25:27,520 --> 01:25:29,520
Santos, Mari and Itso at the back.

1230
01:25:29,520 --> 01:25:31,520
Birindelli on the right, Carlos Augusto on the left.

1231
01:25:31,520 --> 01:25:33,520
Senzi, Rovell and Pessina in the middle.

1232
01:25:33,520 --> 01:25:35,520
Caprari and Mata up front.

1233
01:25:35,520 --> 01:25:36,520
That's a good team.

1234
01:25:36,520 --> 01:25:40,520
Like hard to label these guys as the underdogs.

1235
01:25:40,520 --> 01:25:44,520
How many have Pessina, Rovell, Senzi in midfield, Caprari up front?

1236
01:25:44,520 --> 01:25:46,520
But then you watch them play together.

1237
01:25:46,520 --> 01:25:48,520
Then you watch them and they're terrible.

1238
01:25:48,520 --> 01:25:50,520
Honestly, like even their goal came from a free kick.

1239
01:25:50,520 --> 01:25:52,520
But that is some midfield, huh?

1240
01:25:52,520 --> 01:25:54,520
Yeah, it really is.

1241
01:25:54,520 --> 01:25:57,520
Birindelli, Pessina, Rovell, Senzi, Augusto.

1242
01:25:57,520 --> 01:25:59,520
Then Caprari and Mata up front.

1243
01:25:59,520 --> 01:26:01,520
And they have Petani on the bench.

1244
01:26:01,520 --> 01:26:05,520
But anyway, in the 35th minute, Stefano Senzi scored a wonderful curled free kick.

1245
01:26:05,520 --> 01:26:07,520
It was one of our top fours.

1246
01:26:07,520 --> 01:26:09,520
It was our top one, in fact.

1247
01:26:09,520 --> 01:26:11,520
It was? Ah, you're right.

1248
01:26:11,520 --> 01:26:13,520
Oh my god, it was our best one.

1249
01:26:15,520 --> 01:26:17,520
Wow, it's getting late.

1250
01:26:19,520 --> 01:26:22,520
Yeah, Senzi scored our goal of the week this game.

1251
01:26:22,520 --> 01:26:24,520
Hype, hype, hype. Amazing goal.

1252
01:26:24,520 --> 01:26:27,520
Okay, hopefully he can stay fit and continue this form.

1253
01:26:27,520 --> 01:26:34,520
In the 48th minute, Juan González scored a good work by Ciceto for De Gregorio into a save.

1254
01:26:34,520 --> 01:26:40,520
De Gregorio found himself on the floor and there wasn't anything he could do about it as the ball fell to González who scored.

1255
01:26:40,520 --> 01:26:45,520
Funny, shortly after this, there was a cooling break that was mistaken for a penalty.

1256
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:46,520
What?

1257
01:26:46,520 --> 01:26:50,520
Yeah, there was a cooling break. The ref whistled for a cooling break and everyone thought he whistled for a penalty.

1258
01:26:50,520 --> 01:26:51,520
It was a bit of chaos.

1259
01:26:51,520 --> 01:26:54,520
Also, about the Roma game, I forgot to tell you, bro.

1260
01:26:54,520 --> 01:26:58,520
When Abraham scored, a fan ran onto the pitch and celebrated with it.

1261
01:26:58,520 --> 01:27:00,520
I saw that.

1262
01:27:00,520 --> 01:27:07,520
Amazing saves, bro, by De Gregorio, especially right after this cooling break was mistaken for a penalty.

1263
01:27:07,520 --> 01:27:09,520
He had an amazing save on a header.

1264
01:27:09,520 --> 01:27:11,520
And then shortly after, another one on Colombo.

1265
01:27:11,520 --> 01:27:13,520
Two amazing, top tier saves.

1266
01:27:13,520 --> 01:27:18,520
I can't see Cranio starting anytime soon, I have to be honest with you.

1267
01:27:18,520 --> 01:27:20,520
Hey, man, but then you watch Cranio play.

1268
01:27:20,520 --> 01:27:22,520
Cranio is amazing, but De Gregorio is not a joke.

1269
01:27:22,520 --> 01:27:24,520
No, he's not a joke. He's not a joke.

1270
01:27:24,520 --> 01:27:26,520
Yeah.

1271
01:27:26,520 --> 01:27:34,520
At the end of the game, bro, this was basically Monza's first point in Serie A this season.

1272
01:27:34,520 --> 01:27:40,520
So as a reward for his efforts, Giovanni Strappa has been sacked.

1273
01:27:40,520 --> 01:27:43,520
I think it's like you have to get three points against that chance.

1274
01:27:43,520 --> 01:27:45,520
Exactly. That's the thing.

1275
01:27:45,520 --> 01:27:53,520
I think that Berlusconi and Gagliani, look at this team that they've built and this team that they've brought up from the bottom of the bottom.

1276
01:27:53,520 --> 01:27:57,520
And they're like, we want to stay here. We want to fight in this league.

1277
01:27:57,520 --> 01:28:01,520
We're not relegation candidates. That's what they think of themselves.

1278
01:28:01,520 --> 01:28:04,520
Yeah. And to be honest, I quite agree with the decision.

1279
01:28:04,520 --> 01:28:06,520
It's a good approach, better now than to ride it.

1280
01:28:06,520 --> 01:28:11,520
Exactly. If I'd gone until January, you would have lost half of a season off points.

1281
01:28:11,520 --> 01:28:16,520
It sounds harsh, but the guy is there because he got them promoted.

1282
01:28:16,520 --> 01:28:20,520
But he got them promoted through the playoffs. It's not like he got them promoted convincingly.

1283
01:28:20,520 --> 01:28:21,520
Exactly.

1284
01:28:21,520 --> 01:28:23,520
It was a bit of a miracle.

1285
01:28:23,520 --> 01:28:29,520
Exactly. It was a fucking hassle for them. They had to play Pisa, a little regressional scoring left, right and center.

1286
01:28:29,520 --> 01:28:32,520
I believe they didn't win once against Pisa.

1287
01:28:32,520 --> 01:28:36,520
There was some weird technicality like that put them through. I think that was them.

1288
01:28:36,520 --> 01:28:41,520
Yeah, probably. I think that was Pisa actually against Benevento.

1289
01:28:41,520 --> 01:28:44,520
Yeah, Pisa Benevento, Pisa Benevento. Exactly.

1290
01:28:44,520 --> 01:28:59,520
It was no surprise, bro, that Stroppa was sacked because on Monday Berlusconi in an interview literally said that he'd have to fix Monza's tactical issues personally.

1291
01:28:59,520 --> 01:29:01,520
Okay.

1292
01:29:01,520 --> 01:29:05,520
So this guy's saying like the coach is so bad, I need to fix this myself.

1293
01:29:05,520 --> 01:29:06,520
Exactly.

1294
01:29:06,520 --> 01:29:08,520
It must be terrible to work on there when things aren't going well.

1295
01:29:08,520 --> 01:29:15,520
Yeah, man. And now he's looking to onboard. I think they're linked with Don Adoni.

1296
01:29:15,520 --> 01:29:17,520
Yeah, and Ranieri.

1297
01:29:17,520 --> 01:29:22,520
And Ranieri. So he's looking to get the old boys. I mean, he's an old boy, he wants to get one of the old boys.

1298
01:29:22,520 --> 01:29:25,520
Ranieri would be an amazing signing for them.

1299
01:29:25,520 --> 01:29:31,520
It's hard to see him getting relegated, man. But we'll need to wait and see.

1300
01:29:31,520 --> 01:29:42,520
A former Juventus winger is currently in charge of Monza. His name is Palladino. He will be in charge in their upcoming fixture against Juventus.

1301
01:29:42,520 --> 01:29:45,520
Oh, wow. Baptism of fire for him.

1302
01:29:45,520 --> 01:29:48,520
And apparently he's being considered for the role as well.

1303
01:29:48,520 --> 01:29:49,520
Okay.

1304
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:51,520
So if he does well, he might stick with him.

1305
01:29:51,520 --> 01:29:55,520
Manages to get points against Juve. That's a good way to make your mark.

1306
01:29:55,520 --> 01:30:01,520
The main thing I took from this game, bro, was that Banda is a very good player and he's their main offensive outlet.

1307
01:30:01,520 --> 01:30:05,520
Banda has looked pretty decent.

1308
01:30:05,520 --> 01:30:09,520
He looks really good. He creates most of the moves and Cissé links up well with him.

1309
01:30:09,520 --> 01:30:15,520
And, you know, having De Francesco on the other side isn't a bad option as well, although he didn't have a particularly amazing game over here.

1310
01:30:15,520 --> 01:30:21,520
So let's have a decent team. They have good options up front, good options at the back. I think they're pretty solid.

1311
01:30:21,520 --> 01:30:28,520
Do you think that Cissé should be starting ahead of Colombo?

1312
01:30:28,520 --> 01:30:33,520
I think Cissé. Yes, Cissé looks better when he plays.

1313
01:30:33,520 --> 01:30:38,520
Colombo deserves minutes, but I think right now Cissé deserves to start.

1314
01:30:38,520 --> 01:30:43,520
If Colombo scores a few, it's literally who starts scoring, man. I think you start.

1315
01:30:43,520 --> 01:30:45,520
Like if Colombo starts coming off the bench.

1316
01:30:45,520 --> 01:30:48,520
It's like that's Piotr Kabral kind of thing.

1317
01:30:48,520 --> 01:30:55,520
Exactly the same as that. Exactly the same and can't you lay your dribbles like Leo?

1318
01:30:55,520 --> 01:30:58,520
Exactly.

1319
01:30:58,520 --> 01:31:03,520
Nice. That's it, bro. I think we've got that game covered. Please tell us where they are.

1320
01:31:03,520 --> 01:31:09,520
Oh, yeah. Oh, yeah. Monza are 20th with one point, one hard earned point.

1321
01:31:09,520 --> 01:31:15,520
Lecce are 17th with three points. Go on, Lecce. I like Lecce. I want to have them in the league.

1322
01:31:15,520 --> 01:31:20,520
Me too, man. Milan have had some thrillers against Lecce with that yuppies goal at the end.

1323
01:31:20,520 --> 01:31:27,520
It's a Nocerino hat-trick, I think. Boateng, bro. Boateng of the fucking bench.

1324
01:31:27,520 --> 01:31:30,520
Who was Nocerino's hat-trick against?

1325
01:31:30,520 --> 01:31:35,520
I don't know, but I'm going to check because I'm so curious. In the meantime, you can entertain the listeners.

1326
01:31:35,520 --> 01:31:41,520
Exactly. Nocerino was... It's hard to describe Nocerino.

1327
01:31:41,520 --> 01:31:51,520
He had a great work ethic and he was an all-rounder. He wasn't particularly extraordinary in many areas,

1328
01:31:51,520 --> 01:31:58,520
but for a player that used to break down play a lot, he had quite a magical touch about him when you come to think of it.

1329
01:31:58,520 --> 01:32:03,520
He was a good passer of the ball and used to go forward well. So he was a real all-rounder, man.

1330
01:32:03,520 --> 01:32:09,520
He was, man. And he was a product of Zlatan. He was good when Zlatan was there. When Zlatan left, he dipped.

1331
01:32:09,520 --> 01:32:14,520
Zlatan came and made Boateng and Nocerino into these amazing players.

1332
01:32:14,520 --> 01:32:17,520
Yeah. And he had competition in that role, bro.

1333
01:32:17,520 --> 01:32:19,520
It was against Parma's hat-trick, by the way.

1334
01:32:19,520 --> 01:32:20,520
Against Parma? Nice.

1335
01:32:20,520 --> 01:32:22,520
I really liked Nocerino.

1336
01:32:22,520 --> 01:32:28,520
Then he had gone to West Ham, I think, and he never really played, man. That was the situation with Nocerino.

1337
01:32:28,520 --> 01:32:38,520
But yes, that is a nice way to end things off, talking about Nocerino. Who would have thought?

1338
01:32:38,520 --> 01:32:47,520
