1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:02,880
Sabiri tries it out, suddenly!

2
00:00:02,880 --> 00:00:05,040
And he scores a super goal!

3
00:00:05,040 --> 00:00:06,960
11th minute!

4
00:00:06,960 --> 00:00:08,840
What has Sabiri done?

5
00:00:08,840 --> 00:00:10,400
A fantastic net!

6
00:00:10,400 --> 00:00:11,600
All of a sudden!

7
00:00:14,800 --> 00:00:18,360
Hello and welcome back to another episode of Serie A Spotlight.

8
00:00:18,360 --> 00:00:20,320
This is season 2 episode 8.

9
00:00:20,320 --> 00:00:22,000
We are hosts Matt and Jake

10
00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:26,360
here to bring you everything you need to know about matchday 7 in Serie A.

11

You can interact with some of our content,

13
00:00:31,640 --> 00:00:34,480
particularly our stories and our posts.

14
00:00:34,480 --> 00:00:36,800
Serie A Spotlight slips and all that.

15
00:00:36,800 --> 00:00:39,120
We're good on TikTok, you can follow us there too.

16
00:00:39,120 --> 00:00:40,720
It's at Serie A Spotlight.

17
00:00:40,720 --> 00:00:43,040
You mentioned Serie A Spotlight slips,

18
00:00:43,040 --> 00:00:46,960
so I think it's a good idea to just get that out of the way

19
00:00:46,960 --> 00:00:48,720
because it's been a fucking nightmare.

20
00:00:48,720 --> 00:00:50,960
Yes, we're cursed bro.

21
00:00:50,960 --> 00:00:54,200
We control the destiny of those we gamble on.

22
00:00:54,200 --> 00:00:56,920
This time you were our victims.

23
00:00:56,920 --> 00:00:58,920
We bet that they would beat Monza.

24
00:00:58,920 --> 00:01:01,360
We added another one, I believe it was with Inez.

25
00:01:01,360 --> 00:01:07,680
No, it was the lettre game against Salernitana under four goals.

26
00:01:07,680 --> 00:01:08,880
It worked out well.

27
00:01:08,880 --> 00:01:12,160
It was very close, but it worked out well for us.

28
00:01:12,160 --> 00:01:13,800
But yeah, you know...

29
00:01:13,800 --> 00:01:17,760
Monza get their first ever victory in Serie A against Juve

30
00:01:17,760 --> 00:01:19,640
and that's all because of Serie A Spotlight.

31
00:01:19,640 --> 00:01:20,680
Literally, literally.

32
00:01:20,680 --> 00:01:23,880
So if you guys need some voodoo shit done

33
00:01:23,880 --> 00:01:26,040
for your team to win a game, just let us know.

34
00:01:26,040 --> 00:01:29,040
Perhaps we should bet that Napoli would win next.

35
00:01:30,440 --> 00:01:31,960
Literally.

36
00:01:31,960 --> 00:01:35,760
So before we get into it, I just want to go through the scores

37
00:01:35,760 --> 00:01:39,320
for any of you that are commuting or can't listen to the entire podcast.

38
00:01:39,320 --> 00:01:43,800
So Milan won Napoli too for the biggest match this weekend.

39
00:01:43,800 --> 00:01:46,760
Odinese beat Inter three goals to one.

40
00:01:46,760 --> 00:01:49,640
Upsets only this week, by the way.

41
00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:51,720
It was Roma 0-1 Atalanta 1.

42
00:01:51,720 --> 00:01:53,400
Monza 1-0 Juve.

43
00:01:53,400 --> 00:01:55,560
Cremoneze 0-4 Lazio.

44
00:01:55,560 --> 00:01:58,080
Fiorentina 2-0 Verona.

45
00:01:58,080 --> 00:02:00,320
Torino 0-1 Sassuolo 1.

46
00:02:00,320 --> 00:02:02,280
Bologna 0-1 Empoli 1.

47
00:02:02,280 --> 00:02:04,600
Thiago Motta's first game in charge over there.

48
00:02:04,600 --> 00:02:06,720
Salernitana 1-0 Lecce 2.

49
00:02:06,720 --> 00:02:09,720
And Spezia 2-0 Sampdoria 1.

50
00:02:09,720 --> 00:02:13,760
So overall, a week full of upsets.

51
00:02:13,760 --> 00:02:16,720
We're looking at over here Odinese's victory,

52
00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:18,960
Monza's victory,

53
00:02:18,960 --> 00:02:20,680
there's Sassuolo's victory,

54
00:02:20,680 --> 00:02:21,800
Empoli's victory,

55
00:02:21,800 --> 00:02:22,880
Lecce's victory,

56
00:02:22,880 --> 00:02:24,280
Spezia's victory.

57
00:02:24,280 --> 00:02:26,360
These are all mental.

58
00:02:26,360 --> 00:02:28,120
Yeah, they're all upsets, literally.

59
00:02:28,120 --> 00:02:33,880
Yeah, I think it's a dumb thing to start that betting segment this season in Serie A.

60
00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:40,040
But this is always, the beginning of the season is always the hardest part to kind of bet on.

61
00:02:40,040 --> 00:02:42,360
Eventually teams will pick up momentum,

62
00:02:42,360 --> 00:02:47,480
there'll be stretches in the season where the big teams really don't drop that many points.

63
00:02:47,480 --> 00:02:49,720
That comes towards the end of the season, typically.

64
00:02:49,720 --> 00:02:51,400
Like last year, you know, you look at the stretch,

65
00:02:51,400 --> 00:02:56,680
Inter and Milan barely lost towards the later part of the season last year.

66
00:02:56,680 --> 00:03:00,600
But anyway, shall we get into Milan-Napoli?

67
00:03:01,400 --> 00:03:04,120
Let's start off with this gold-forsaken game.

68
00:03:04,120 --> 00:03:05,160
Go for it.

69
00:03:05,160 --> 00:03:08,760
So a true spectacle of a game.

70
00:03:08,760 --> 00:03:10,680
Milan won Napoli 2.

71
00:03:10,680 --> 00:03:12,600
Now to get into a bit of history,

72
00:03:12,600 --> 00:03:14,360
recent history between these two sides.

73
00:03:15,000 --> 00:03:18,280
Milan won their last league match against Napoli before this one,

74
00:03:18,280 --> 00:03:21,160
after a run of two consecutive defeats.

75
00:03:21,160 --> 00:03:21,660
Yeah.

76
00:03:22,920 --> 00:03:25,160
This would have been two wins in a row for Milan,

77
00:03:25,160 --> 00:03:31,160
had they won in Serie A against Napoli for the first time since 2010-2011 under Allegri.

78
00:03:31,160 --> 00:03:32,040
Oh wow, okay.

79
00:03:33,240 --> 00:03:36,760
Milan have now actually lost three home games against Napoli in a row.

80
00:03:37,480 --> 00:03:41,000
The other two were both to a score of 1-0.

81
00:03:41,000 --> 00:03:45,000
And it's the first time since 1979 that Milan have suffered

82
00:03:45,000 --> 00:03:47,640
three consecutive home defeats against Napoli in Serie A.

83
00:03:47,640 --> 00:03:50,680
Okay, and the second one was absolute shit,

84
00:03:50,680 --> 00:03:55,080
I remember those Cassis disallowed goal for the offside of Giroudi.

85
00:03:55,080 --> 00:03:58,600
Exactly, Giroudi was in an offside position, but yeah, yeah, yeah.

86
00:03:58,600 --> 00:04:00,120
He was on the floor, it was really weird.

87
00:04:01,640 --> 00:04:04,360
Milan's unbeaten streak has come to an end.

88
00:04:04,360 --> 00:04:09,640
They were unbeaten in their last 22 Serie A games with 15 victories and 7 draws.

89
00:04:09,640 --> 00:04:16,440
This was their longest unbeaten streak since a run of 27 games without defeat in January 2021.

90
00:04:17,320 --> 00:04:19,640
As Radic Roenich said,

91
00:04:19,640 --> 00:04:21,080
we start again.

92
00:04:21,080 --> 00:04:23,160
There you go, that's the mentality.

93
00:04:23,160 --> 00:04:27,880
He was interviewed after the game and he was clearly miffed about the loss.

94
00:04:27,880 --> 00:04:29,080
But to be honest with you, bro.

95
00:04:29,880 --> 00:04:31,400
Good, I'm glad he's miffed.

96
00:04:31,400 --> 00:04:36,920
Yeah, but ending a 27 unbeaten streak against Napoli,

97
00:04:36,920 --> 00:04:39,240
against this Napoli side isn't the worst thing in the world.

98
00:04:39,240 --> 00:04:44,120
No, it's kind of like the best case scenario over the worst case scenario,

99
00:04:44,120 --> 00:04:44,760
you know what I mean?

100
00:04:45,320 --> 00:04:49,320
Exactly, I mean, if there's a team, you would almost,

101
00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,000
not expect, but you would take a loss against the season so far,

102
00:04:53,000 --> 00:04:56,440
judging by their form and everything, it's Napoli.

103
00:04:56,440 --> 00:05:00,040
You know, Inter, it's a derby and...

104
00:05:01,240 --> 00:05:02,200
You don't want to lose a derby.

105
00:05:02,200 --> 00:05:03,960
No, you don't want to lose a derby at all.

106
00:05:04,760 --> 00:05:09,480
Teams like Atalanta, it's almost expected to get something out of the game now.

107
00:05:09,480 --> 00:05:14,920
I think Napoli, even without Victor Osman, is still the team you can look at and say,

108
00:05:14,920 --> 00:05:20,040
all right, that's almost guaranteed points dropped for the time being.

109
00:05:20,040 --> 00:05:22,600
It's them and Udinese right now, funnily enough.

110
00:05:22,600 --> 00:05:25,240
Yeah, they're the two with the most momentum.

111
00:05:25,240 --> 00:05:25,800
Probably Milan.

112
00:05:25,800 --> 00:05:27,320
They're the two hottest teams, of course, yes.

113
00:05:28,680 --> 00:05:33,480
The three teams right now in Italy on the best form would be Milan, Udinese, and Napoli, right?

114
00:05:33,480 --> 00:05:35,000
And Atalanta right now.

115
00:05:35,000 --> 00:05:37,640
And Lazio kind of as well are looking pretty good.

116
00:05:37,640 --> 00:05:40,520
Yeah, but anyway, Saltibe was at the game, bro.

117
00:05:40,520 --> 00:05:43,640
He was, supporting Napoli, I'd imagine.

118
00:05:43,640 --> 00:05:47,000
I'm not sure he clarified, he was supporting.

119
00:05:47,000 --> 00:05:49,880
He had photos with everyone from Napoli.

120
00:05:49,880 --> 00:05:52,040
Okay, but you know what he did before the game?

121
00:05:52,760 --> 00:05:54,920
He made a steak or something for someone.

122
00:05:54,920 --> 00:05:58,200
No, he said that Napoli would win 2-1.

123
00:05:58,840 --> 00:05:59,640
Fuck me.

124
00:05:59,640 --> 00:06:01,960
He predicted the fucking score, Saltibe.

125
00:06:02,520 --> 00:06:03,480
He predicted the score.

126
00:06:03,480 --> 00:06:04,920
He's a fucking chef in Turkey.

127
00:06:04,920 --> 00:06:07,320
We're here with a podcast, and we can't even win a bet.

128
00:06:07,320 --> 00:06:11,720
And this guy is casually winning fucking outright scores.

129
00:06:11,720 --> 00:06:13,880
Fuck your six scores, man.

130
00:06:13,880 --> 00:06:15,240
Jesus, but anyway.

131
00:06:15,240 --> 00:06:16,520
So let's get into the lineups.

132
00:06:16,520 --> 00:06:18,360
Milan lined up with Mannyan in goal,

133
00:06:18,360 --> 00:06:20,440
Theo Hernandez on the left, Calabria on the right,

134
00:06:20,440 --> 00:06:24,120
with a center-back pairing of Tomori and Keir stepping in for Kalulu.

135
00:06:24,760 --> 00:06:27,000
Tonali and Benassir in the double pivot.

136
00:06:27,000 --> 00:06:30,680
Krunic came in for the suspended layout on the left,

137
00:06:30,680 --> 00:06:31,960
Decatelare in the middle,

138
00:06:31,960 --> 00:06:33,080
Salamakers on the right,

139
00:06:33,080 --> 00:06:35,080
and Giroud up front.

140
00:06:35,080 --> 00:06:37,480
Thank you for not mentioning Theo Hernandez at left back,

141
00:06:37,480 --> 00:06:38,840
but it's kind of an obvious one.

142
00:06:39,640 --> 00:06:41,000
I said Theo Hernandez at left back.

143
00:06:41,000 --> 00:06:41,560
I don't know.

144
00:06:41,560 --> 00:06:43,720
I think he said Calabria and a center-back pairing.

145
00:06:43,720 --> 00:06:45,240
I don't know. We'll continue.

146
00:06:45,240 --> 00:06:45,800
Damn, bro.

147
00:06:45,800 --> 00:06:46,920
You got to listen to me, man.

148
00:06:47,960 --> 00:06:49,640
Marete in goal for Napoli,

149
00:06:49,640 --> 00:06:51,000
Di Lorenzo on the right,

150
00:06:51,000 --> 00:06:52,600
Mario Rui on the left,

151
00:06:53,400 --> 00:06:56,200
Mingjie and Rahmani as a center-back duo.

152
00:06:56,200 --> 00:06:59,000
The three midfielders were Zilinski, Lobotka,

153
00:06:59,000 --> 00:07:00,200
and Anguissa,

154
00:07:00,200 --> 00:07:01,720
Gvarak, Xelia on the left,

155
00:07:01,720 --> 00:07:02,840
Poletan on the right,

156
00:07:02,840 --> 00:07:04,680
and Raspadoury up front.

157
00:07:04,680 --> 00:07:07,800
So instinctively, bro, coming into this game,

158
00:07:07,800 --> 00:07:08,600
there was a lot of...

159
00:07:08,600 --> 00:07:12,600
There were many comments being made online about Milan's lineup,

160
00:07:12,600 --> 00:07:14,600
about Kroenich coming in instead of Leo,

161
00:07:14,600 --> 00:07:16,280
and Kier coming in instead of Kalulu.

162
00:07:16,280 --> 00:07:17,720
What were your thoughts?

163
00:07:17,720 --> 00:07:21,160
I think Milan fielded a very physical 11

164
00:07:21,160 --> 00:07:22,600
and maybe a more...

165
00:07:22,600 --> 00:07:23,800
Not conservative.

166
00:07:23,800 --> 00:07:26,520
Well, yes, a more conservative 11 as well.

167
00:07:26,520 --> 00:07:32,440
I think Kier coming in for Kalulu brings more kind of balls

168
00:07:32,440 --> 00:07:34,680
to that center-back partnership.

169
00:07:34,680 --> 00:07:37,720
Obviously, the difference you see between Kalulu and Kier

170
00:07:37,720 --> 00:07:40,760
is that Kalulu is quicker and Kier is stronger.

171
00:07:40,760 --> 00:07:42,440
Kier is more experienced.

172
00:07:44,440 --> 00:07:46,440
Then you look at Kroenich,

173
00:07:46,440 --> 00:07:50,760
who is essentially a box-to-box midfielder being played out wide.

174
00:07:50,760 --> 00:07:53,000
So you could add some physicality on that side

175
00:07:53,000 --> 00:07:55,800
and maybe drift into the midfield and show some...

176
00:07:55,800 --> 00:07:57,160
Pardon me.

177
00:07:57,160 --> 00:07:58,760
And show some strength over there.

178
00:07:58,760 --> 00:08:03,000
And then Salah Makars is the more conservative choice

179
00:08:03,000 --> 00:08:05,160
on the right-hand side, as we said before,

180
00:08:05,160 --> 00:08:08,600
way more conservative than Messias, who goes forward more.

181
00:08:08,600 --> 00:08:12,280
And then obviously there's de Catelari ahead of Brahim Diaz

182
00:08:12,280 --> 00:08:14,040
giving more physicality over there.

183
00:08:14,040 --> 00:08:21,160
So all around Milan fielded the most possible physical 11

184
00:08:21,160 --> 00:08:24,040
that they could without starting Pobega, pretty much.

185
00:08:24,040 --> 00:08:26,520
Okay. Interesting point.

186
00:08:26,520 --> 00:08:27,560
I do agree.

187
00:08:27,560 --> 00:08:31,560
I feel like Kier was selected over here

188
00:08:31,560 --> 00:08:34,520
because of his experience more than the physicality.

189
00:08:34,520 --> 00:08:37,960
I think you play Kalulu, someone who's still very young,

190
00:08:37,960 --> 00:08:41,960
and you put them up against this Gvarak Shrelia,

191
00:08:41,960 --> 00:08:45,400
Poletano, Raspadori, they're very mobile, these guys.

192
00:08:45,400 --> 00:08:48,040
And he gets a yellow card early on, Kalulu,

193
00:08:48,040 --> 00:08:52,440
that could ruin his game, that could totally distract him,

194
00:08:52,440 --> 00:08:55,640
that could make him not commit, that could make him get a red card.

195
00:08:55,640 --> 00:08:58,360
So Kier's experience over here, I think he always knew purely

196
00:08:58,360 --> 00:09:00,920
that he was going to bring on Kalulu, this game for Kier,

197
00:09:00,920 --> 00:09:02,520
but he started out with Kier over here.

198
00:09:02,520 --> 00:09:06,520
Aha, for sure. I don't even think Kier's got 90 minutes in him anymore.

199
00:09:06,520 --> 00:09:08,520
Probably not.

200
00:09:08,520 --> 00:09:11,400
Off the bat, who do you think is at bigger loss?

201
00:09:11,400 --> 00:09:15,080
Is it Milan without Leao or is it Napoli without Ozymen?

202
00:09:15,080 --> 00:09:17,080
Coming into this game, who had it worse?

203
00:09:17,080 --> 00:09:24,760
Okay, so I would say Napoli feel the loss of Ozymen

204
00:09:24,760 --> 00:09:26,760
more than Milan feel the loss of Leao.

205
00:09:26,760 --> 00:09:27,560
Okay.

206
00:09:27,560 --> 00:09:30,440
And simply because of how Milan played,

207
00:09:30,440 --> 00:09:33,480
because at the end of the day Milan totally dominated this game

208
00:09:33,480 --> 00:09:39,560
and were unlucky to get nothing out of it, quite frankly.

209
00:09:39,560 --> 00:09:41,560
Yeah.

210
00:09:41,560 --> 00:09:45,160
Napoli's offensive charge looks completely different without Ozymen.

211
00:09:45,160 --> 00:09:47,400
Raspadori does not have the same characteristics

212
00:09:47,400 --> 00:09:50,200
and neither does Simeone.

213
00:09:50,200 --> 00:09:53,800
Ozymen's a terrorist up front, as I've discussed before.

214
00:09:53,800 --> 00:09:55,800
An absolute maniac.

215
00:09:55,800 --> 00:09:58,840
But what do you think? Do you think it's Leao?

216
00:09:58,840 --> 00:10:03,960
No, I don't particularly think Milan were worse off without Leao.

217
00:10:03,960 --> 00:10:07,320
I think one thing you miss are two players

218
00:10:07,320 --> 00:10:10,760
that can change the game entirely just by being themselves.

219
00:10:10,760 --> 00:10:13,640
So you have Leao's dribbling, you have Ozymen's charge and finishing.

220
00:10:15,480 --> 00:10:21,480
I think if I were to see Milan over 10 games without Leao

221
00:10:21,480 --> 00:10:23,880
and Napoli over 10 games without Ozymen,

222
00:10:23,880 --> 00:10:26,120
I think Milan would be better off than Napoli.

223
00:10:26,120 --> 00:10:26,760
I think so.

224
00:10:26,760 --> 00:10:30,760
And I think over the stretch of time Milan can replace him with Rebic.

225
00:10:33,640 --> 00:10:35,000
Probably only Rebic.

226
00:10:35,000 --> 00:10:37,640
Rebic is the only player that can play on the left unless it's Kroenich.

227
00:10:37,640 --> 00:10:40,920
But ideally Kroenich would stick to that midfield role.

228
00:10:40,920 --> 00:10:45,480
And then when you look at Napoli, I mean Raspadori and Simeone.

229
00:10:45,480 --> 00:10:46,440
Are both new.

230
00:10:46,440 --> 00:10:47,720
They're both new.

231
00:10:47,720 --> 00:10:48,920
They're both good players.

232
00:10:48,920 --> 00:10:50,120
They are both good players.

233
00:10:51,400 --> 00:10:54,040
But yeah.

234
00:10:54,040 --> 00:10:55,240
They need time.

235
00:10:55,240 --> 00:10:57,720
They need time, but they are backed up very well by their teammates.

236
00:10:57,720 --> 00:11:00,760
Their teammates are very good at giving them exactly what they need

237
00:11:00,760 --> 00:11:02,280
at playing to their characteristics.

238
00:11:02,280 --> 00:11:04,680
But anyway, I'm stalling from you getting into the game.

239
00:11:04,680 --> 00:11:06,360
Yeah, no, it's perfectly fine.

240
00:11:06,360 --> 00:11:07,240
Let's get into the game.

241
00:11:07,240 --> 00:11:07,740
Yeah.

242
00:11:09,720 --> 00:11:12,520
It was all tied in the first half.

243
00:11:14,280 --> 00:11:17,800
The thing that I think we should take away from the first half was Gavrack Scalia.

244
00:11:18,600 --> 00:11:21,640
Pretty much forcing yellow cards with every single foul he drew.

245
00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:25,400
He got Kier and Calabria were on yellows because of him.

246
00:11:25,400 --> 00:11:28,280
And that went into half time.

247
00:11:29,320 --> 00:11:32,440
55th minute, Gavrack Scalia forces a penalty as well.

248
00:11:32,440 --> 00:11:35,480
So that's three fouls, one, two yellows, and one penalty.

249
00:11:35,480 --> 00:11:36,520
That's a ticket.

250
00:11:36,520 --> 00:11:39,560
He didn't get on the score sheet, but he was amazing in this game.

251
00:11:40,440 --> 00:11:44,280
Poletano stepped up in the 55th minute and scored.

252
00:11:44,280 --> 00:11:50,200
This was given away, by the way, by Dest, who was brought on for Calabria in the second half.

253
00:11:50,200 --> 00:11:53,640
There was a double change by Piolli as the second half started.

254
00:11:54,680 --> 00:11:57,080
Kier and Calabria out, Dest and Calullo in.

255
00:11:58,280 --> 00:12:01,000
Now, OK, so Napoli are winning 1-0.

256
00:12:01,000 --> 00:12:08,120
In the 69th minute, Wells, Oli G, finally managed to connect one of Theo's low crosses

257
00:12:08,120 --> 00:12:10,280
from the byline and equalized.

258
00:12:11,080 --> 00:12:14,680
Not the most difficult goal, but positionally put himself in the correct position,

259
00:12:14,680 --> 00:12:16,200
made it easy for himself.

260
00:12:16,200 --> 00:12:16,600
Exactly.

261
00:12:16,600 --> 00:12:21,000
Theo Mann had so many of those low crosses from the byline.

262
00:12:21,000 --> 00:12:23,320
I'm happy he managed to get to the end of it.

263
00:12:23,320 --> 00:12:26,760
And then in the 78th minute, Xalito got the ball outside the area

264
00:12:26,760 --> 00:12:28,440
and was pressed by three players.

265
00:12:29,640 --> 00:12:34,360
Unfortunately, none of these three players actually committed aggressively enough.

266
00:12:34,920 --> 00:12:38,520
He managed to play the ball out wide to Rui on the left

267
00:12:38,520 --> 00:12:40,760
and managed to slip between these three players.

268
00:12:41,400 --> 00:12:45,560
Rui crossed the ball perfectly and Giovanni Simeone scored the header.

269
00:12:45,560 --> 00:12:47,560
It was so against the run of play at that point.

270
00:12:47,560 --> 00:12:48,040
It really worked.

271
00:12:48,040 --> 00:12:50,440
Napoli didn't have a bad game by all means.

272
00:12:50,440 --> 00:12:51,720
They were fucking fantastic.

273
00:12:52,360 --> 00:12:55,800
Towards the end of the game, bro, Calullo had a Thiago Silva-esque moment.

274
00:12:55,800 --> 00:13:01,160
I can't remember the game where Thiago Silva did this, but I remember him basically starting

275
00:13:01,800 --> 00:13:06,040
a charge from the back, just playing the ball and sprinting the full length of the pitch.

276
00:13:06,040 --> 00:13:08,600
Then the ball was played to him again and he had the crossbar.

277
00:13:08,600 --> 00:13:10,840
The exact same thing happened to Calullo.

278
00:13:10,840 --> 00:13:12,200
The exact same thing.

279
00:13:12,200 --> 00:13:13,800
It was a brilliant piece of skill.

280
00:13:13,800 --> 00:13:18,360
I was very upset that he didn't put that into the back of the net though.

281
00:13:18,360 --> 00:13:19,160
Yeah, I mean.

282
00:13:19,160 --> 00:13:19,960
Very upset.

283
00:13:21,160 --> 00:13:23,960
But did you expect him to do better?

284
00:13:25,400 --> 00:13:29,240
I mean, as a defender, you'd never expect them to do better.

285
00:13:29,240 --> 00:13:30,760
You just hope that they do better.

286
00:13:30,760 --> 00:13:33,160
But I think Calullo has been fine in front of goal.

287
00:13:33,160 --> 00:13:34,600
He's always been okay in front of goal.

288
00:13:34,600 --> 00:13:39,640
He's been composed as we've seen for France and we've seen for Milan on a couple of occasions as well.

289
00:13:39,640 --> 00:13:41,640
It's sometimes maybe.

290
00:13:41,640 --> 00:13:43,640
I think it was mostly because of the power over there.

291
00:13:43,640 --> 00:13:45,720
Mostly the Giroud touch that threw him off.

292
00:13:48,680 --> 00:13:52,120
I don't think he thought that Giroud would get a touch on it.

293
00:13:53,640 --> 00:13:54,120
Could be.

294
00:13:54,120 --> 00:13:58,680
I mean, you'd have to be in the exact same situation as him to understand

295
00:13:59,560 --> 00:14:02,440
why he was thrown off and why he didn't hit the target over there.

296
00:14:02,440 --> 00:14:05,240
I'm sure there's valid reason in his eyes.

297
00:14:07,400 --> 00:14:09,800
In those situations, you just hope it's a goal.

298
00:14:09,800 --> 00:14:11,640
What a game Meret had, man.

299
00:14:11,640 --> 00:14:12,360
It was amazing.

300
00:14:12,360 --> 00:14:15,560
Meret was super. It was Meret and Mario Rui for Naples.

301
00:14:15,560 --> 00:14:17,800
I think for me, the man of the match was Mario Rui.

302
00:14:18,440 --> 00:14:19,960
It's between Mario Rui and Meret.

303
00:14:19,960 --> 00:14:21,400
I think I'd give it to Meret personally.

304
00:14:21,400 --> 00:14:24,280
He had some fucking stunning saves, man.

305
00:14:24,280 --> 00:14:25,640
Particularly on Giroud.

306
00:14:25,640 --> 00:14:26,840
No, there was a one-shot.

307
00:14:26,840 --> 00:14:27,340
My God.

308
00:14:28,920 --> 00:14:30,280
An absolute spectacle, bro.

309
00:14:31,000 --> 00:14:32,600
Are these the two best teams in the league?

310
00:14:34,520 --> 00:14:34,840
Yes.

311
00:14:35,720 --> 00:14:36,840
At the moment, yes.

312
00:14:36,840 --> 00:14:42,760
And I'm reluctant to say that they are in fact the best teams in the league

313
00:14:42,760 --> 00:14:47,080
because they were the best teams in the league in the beginning of last season as well.

314
00:14:47,080 --> 00:14:49,720
And then Napoli kind of fell off for a while.

315
00:14:49,720 --> 00:14:53,640
And we see strong starts like this from Napoli where they look unbeatable.

316
00:14:54,360 --> 00:14:55,080
You know what I mean?

317
00:14:55,080 --> 00:14:59,640
And then we see a realer side to them come January.

318
00:15:01,240 --> 00:15:03,400
This time last year, they were still undefeated.

319
00:15:04,360 --> 00:15:04,760
True.

320
00:15:04,760 --> 00:15:08,040
They had gone on like a mad streak of 10 games undefeated.

321
00:15:08,040 --> 00:15:09,640
They tend to start well, Napoli.

322
00:15:09,640 --> 00:15:10,120
It's true.

323
00:15:11,960 --> 00:15:12,760
What's his name?

324
00:15:12,760 --> 00:15:20,120
De Laurentiis said that he had been saying for a while that this Napoli side that he built

325
00:15:20,760 --> 00:15:27,720
since the departures of Koulibaly, Fabian, Insinia, Ospina was a competitive side.

326
00:15:27,720 --> 00:15:28,920
But no one really believed him.

327
00:15:29,880 --> 00:15:32,440
And now he's saying like, look at me now, basically.

328
00:15:32,440 --> 00:15:34,600
Yeah, without those guys.

329
00:15:34,600 --> 00:15:39,000
Do you think that he actually knew that they were going to be this good?

330
00:15:42,040 --> 00:15:43,240
I'd say so.

331
00:15:46,280 --> 00:15:49,560
They must have been rubbing their hands at the site of Gvarra and training.

332
00:15:50,360 --> 00:15:54,120
Because these guys are great at bringing people in.

333
00:15:54,120 --> 00:15:58,600
These are the same guys that brought in Hamsic, that brought in Mertens,

334
00:15:58,600 --> 00:16:04,760
that brought in all of these people, the Levetsis for crying out loud, Cavani.

335
00:16:04,760 --> 00:16:07,800
They've got an eye for talent, these Napolitans.

336
00:16:08,920 --> 00:16:15,080
Everyone's like, ah, but they're replacing Insinia, the club legend, the captain,

337
00:16:15,080 --> 00:16:21,400
the heart and soul of the team with a guy from Dinamo Batumi called Kvaratskelia.

338
00:16:21,400 --> 00:16:22,760
Kvichua Kvaratskelia.

339
00:16:22,760 --> 00:16:24,280
Everyone's like, De Laurentiis out.

340
00:16:24,280 --> 00:16:25,080
De Laurentiis out.

341
00:16:25,080 --> 00:16:27,400
Koulibaly out and Minjay in.

342
00:16:27,400 --> 00:16:29,880
Who the fuck is this Minjay guy?

343
00:16:30,840 --> 00:16:31,880
Fucking hell, two of them.

344
00:16:31,880 --> 00:16:32,840
I'm telling you, bro.

345
00:16:32,840 --> 00:16:39,160
I haven't seen some, I haven't seen an Asian lift his leg like that since Bruce Lee, my friend.

346
00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:44,840
Honestly, the way he cleared it from Brahim's header was insane.

347
00:16:44,840 --> 00:16:46,920
And then the scream right after.

348
00:16:46,920 --> 00:16:47,880
Wow, dude.

349
00:16:47,880 --> 00:16:49,640
Bro, that was intimate.

350
00:16:49,640 --> 00:16:51,160
Like, that was intimate.

351
00:16:51,160 --> 00:16:52,680
He's a great defender.

352
00:16:52,680 --> 00:16:53,800
He's really good.

353
00:16:53,800 --> 00:16:56,440
Why do you think Napoli won this game ahead of Mian?

354
00:16:56,440 --> 00:16:58,200
Because it was tight.

355
00:16:58,200 --> 00:17:00,360
Do you think Milan had the better game overall?

356
00:17:00,360 --> 00:17:05,560
Because I've been seeing at least my Milan fan friends have all been saying,

357
00:17:05,560 --> 00:17:07,400
ah, we dominated the game, though.

358
00:17:07,400 --> 00:17:08,200
Dominated.

359
00:17:08,760 --> 00:17:13,880
Do you think dominated is the fucking word or do you think Milan were very competitive?

360
00:17:14,920 --> 00:17:17,080
I think Milan dominated the game, quite frankly.

361
00:17:17,080 --> 00:17:19,000
22 shots to Napoli's nine.

362
00:17:19,640 --> 00:17:21,320
An edge on possession as well.

363
00:17:21,320 --> 00:17:26,120
Just even watching the game, Milan were in control of the tempo for the vast majority

364
00:17:26,120 --> 00:17:28,440
of the game, particularly in the first half.

365
00:17:28,440 --> 00:17:32,120
And then right after Milan scored the first goal, their first goal,

366
00:17:34,040 --> 00:17:36,360
Milan were trying to pop them like a massive pimple.

367
00:17:36,360 --> 00:17:37,240
You know what I mean?

368
00:17:37,240 --> 00:17:39,400
And I remember you saying you were like, wow,

369
00:17:39,400 --> 00:17:42,680
chenelabu, which means like how we're playing, you know?

370
00:17:43,480 --> 00:17:45,960
And Milan were playing really well up until that point.

371
00:17:45,960 --> 00:17:49,800
And then, you know, Napoli actually managed to stay composed

372
00:17:49,800 --> 00:17:54,520
and they got something out of it with a very good move by Simeone and Rui.

373
00:17:54,520 --> 00:17:55,240
Yeah.

374
00:17:55,240 --> 00:17:59,480
I couldn't help but notice when it comes to Milan, a little bit of fatigue here and there,

375
00:17:59,480 --> 00:18:02,200
particularly from the main man, Oli G up front.

376
00:18:03,160 --> 00:18:05,400
A few cramps coming up.

377
00:18:05,400 --> 00:18:09,080
Bear in mind, Milan did play midweek Champions League football

378
00:18:09,080 --> 00:18:12,200
last week before this match, winning the first actually

379
00:18:14,040 --> 00:18:20,040
Champions League match at San Siro since like 2013 or some shit like that it was.

380
00:18:20,680 --> 00:18:24,600
And obviously Giroud had to play that game because Giroud is the only striker

381
00:18:24,600 --> 00:18:26,920
on their Milan's roster thus far.

382
00:18:26,920 --> 00:18:29,720
And it just didn't seem like he was.

383
00:18:30,520 --> 00:18:32,920
He's always available to play the ball to it,

384
00:18:32,920 --> 00:18:35,640
just he's not always in a situation to attack the ball.

385
00:18:35,640 --> 00:18:40,600
And that could do that could have something to do with fatigue.

386
00:18:41,320 --> 00:18:43,160
I think this was one of his better games.

387
00:18:45,160 --> 00:18:51,720
Yeah, no, I think I think Giroud played well, but he was you could see him pulling up.

388
00:18:52,360 --> 00:18:54,440
He went down around twice with cramps.

389
00:18:54,440 --> 00:18:54,940
Yeah.

390
00:18:55,640 --> 00:19:00,360
Which is never good to see whenever I see a 35 year old go down, I'm like Madonna.

391
00:19:01,560 --> 00:19:02,040
They're done.

392
00:19:02,680 --> 00:19:03,400
Exactly.

393
00:19:03,400 --> 00:19:09,400
Especially when his substitutes are Orygi who I have no idea what's going on with him,

394
00:19:09,400 --> 00:19:11,720
flying to Belgium, then coming back and now he's available.

395
00:19:11,720 --> 00:19:14,440
But then boom, two days before the game, he's not available.

396
00:19:14,440 --> 00:19:15,800
And then he's available for the next one.

397
00:19:15,800 --> 00:19:16,840
Then he disappears again.

398
00:19:16,840 --> 00:19:20,200
Like then he plays and he's really selfish and he's gone again.

399
00:19:20,200 --> 00:19:20,760
You know what I mean?

400
00:19:20,760 --> 00:19:22,760
It's been a roller coaster with Orygi so far.

401
00:19:22,760 --> 00:19:27,000
And Rebic, who apparently has the back of an 80 year old former construction worker.

402
00:19:28,360 --> 00:19:29,960
I don't know what's going on with these guys.

403
00:19:29,960 --> 00:19:32,600
Man Giroud has to fucking work overtime.

404
00:19:32,600 --> 00:19:33,880
And he's been doing brilliantly.

405
00:19:33,880 --> 00:19:38,920
Like you said, Giroud, he's been he's been by far one of Milan's best players.

406
00:19:39,480 --> 00:19:42,440
However, there's a point I want to compare Napoli to Milan in this sense.

407
00:19:43,800 --> 00:19:49,720
Napoli as a team, they play to each other's best capabilities.

408
00:19:49,720 --> 00:19:55,800
So if I know that you're quick, I'm going to knock the ball in front of you.

409
00:19:55,800 --> 00:19:58,520
But if I know that you're slow, I'm going to play the ball to your feet.

410
00:19:59,240 --> 00:20:03,480
If I know that you're good with a header, I'm going to cross it to you in the air.

411
00:20:03,480 --> 00:20:07,640
If I know you're good with the ball on the ground, I'm going to play it to you on the ground.

412
00:20:09,000 --> 00:20:12,360
Milan don't exactly do that when it comes to Giroud.

413
00:20:13,240 --> 00:20:16,920
Giroud, I always see him criticise, not criticising,

414
00:20:16,920 --> 00:20:19,640
giving his teammates a telling off saying, give me the ball.

415
00:20:19,640 --> 00:20:23,000
Fuck in here in front of me, head level.

416
00:20:23,000 --> 00:20:26,040
I want to get some momentum and smack that ball in.

417
00:20:26,040 --> 00:20:32,600
But it always seems like he needs to stay on the spot, jump up, try hanging the air

418
00:20:32,600 --> 00:20:36,360
and kind of try to head it goal words or try to head it outwards.

419
00:20:36,360 --> 00:20:40,040
And it's like the service is there, the players are there,

420
00:20:40,040 --> 00:20:42,840
but you just need to give it to him on a silver play.

421
00:20:42,840 --> 00:20:44,040
That's what you get with Giroud.

422
00:20:44,040 --> 00:20:47,320
Yeah, play the ball at his feet.

423
00:20:47,320 --> 00:20:51,720
I get it completely. And to be honest with you, I do agree that

424
00:20:52,600 --> 00:20:55,800
there are way too many over the top balls, not this game particularly,

425
00:20:55,800 --> 00:20:56,840
but we've seen it before.

426
00:20:56,840 --> 00:21:01,160
No, these long balls ahead to Giroud, that doesn't really make more sense.

427
00:21:04,120 --> 00:21:07,000
Like you play it to him directly for a knockdown, that's one thing,

428
00:21:07,000 --> 00:21:09,320
but trying to play him in behind, it doesn't make any sense.

429
00:21:10,120 --> 00:21:15,320
And yes, the Serenopolis seem to have figured themselves out really well,

430
00:21:15,320 --> 00:21:17,480
to be honest, considering the losses.

431
00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:23,080
Bro, who was Milan's best player this game?

432
00:21:24,200 --> 00:21:25,960
Milan's best player this game.

433
00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,720
That's a good question.

434
00:21:29,480 --> 00:21:30,680
It's a very good question.

435
00:21:32,360 --> 00:21:33,800
I quite liked Tonali.

436
00:21:35,800 --> 00:21:37,560
I thought Tonali was quite good.

437
00:21:41,160 --> 00:21:42,280
For me, it was Benassir.

438
00:21:42,280 --> 00:21:45,160
Yeah, that's probably a better answer than mine.

439
00:21:45,160 --> 00:21:47,720
I think Benassir is the better known.

440
00:21:47,720 --> 00:21:57,240
It was a fantastic showcase of two super, super defensive midfielders on both ends.

441
00:21:57,240 --> 00:22:01,640
Ball playing midfielders, it was Benassir dictating the play for Milan

442
00:22:01,640 --> 00:22:03,720
and Lobotka dictating the play for Napoli.

443
00:22:03,720 --> 00:22:09,560
It was a showcase, it was a masterpiece watching these two switch the play from end to end.

444
00:22:09,560 --> 00:22:13,960
Watching these two switch the play from end to end and really control the game.

445
00:22:14,600 --> 00:22:15,640
Honestly, it really was.

446
00:22:16,360 --> 00:22:21,320
Both very good players, probably the best kind of registas in the league right now.

447
00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:24,280
I have a note over here, bro.

448
00:22:24,280 --> 00:22:26,120
Cholito living his best life, no?

449
00:22:27,160 --> 00:22:28,200
You could see him.

450
00:22:28,200 --> 00:22:31,960
So first he scored his debut goal in the Champions League

451
00:22:31,960 --> 00:22:36,920
and kissed the Champions League tattoo that he got on his forearm when he was 30.

452
00:22:36,920 --> 00:22:40,920
He broke it to mainstream media with that as well when the story got told everywhere.

453
00:22:40,920 --> 00:22:43,960
And then he scored the winner against Milan a few days later.

454
00:22:43,960 --> 00:22:47,160
There was a video of him in the tunnel of Milan running with his arms extended.

455
00:22:47,160 --> 00:22:47,880
I hated that.

456
00:22:49,480 --> 00:22:51,160
He's just living his best life right now.

457
00:22:51,160 --> 00:22:54,280
You can't help but feel like you can keep bringing him off the bench

458
00:22:54,280 --> 00:22:56,280
and he's going to keep scoring.

459
00:22:57,000 --> 00:22:59,160
Raspadori and Cholito are both new for Napoli,

460
00:22:59,160 --> 00:23:01,160
but they've both hit the ground running so far.

461
00:23:01,960 --> 00:23:05,400
Raspadori not performance-wise, but goals-wise, certainly.

462
00:23:05,400 --> 00:23:09,880
It seems that Raspadori almost needs to re-adapt to his natural position

463
00:23:09,880 --> 00:23:14,520
after being played out wide for so long as a secondary striker for so long for Sassuolo.

464
00:23:14,520 --> 00:23:16,920
He needs to stop being 14 years old, bro.

465
00:23:16,920 --> 00:23:18,600
He does need to stop being 14 years old.

466
00:23:18,600 --> 00:23:19,880
The man needs some spinach.

467
00:23:19,880 --> 00:23:21,960
Yeah, he needs some spinach, literally.

468
00:23:21,960 --> 00:23:23,080
He's so small, dude.

469
00:23:23,080 --> 00:23:25,960
And I think this is the best way to utilize Cholito as well.

470
00:23:26,760 --> 00:23:29,800
As a substitute, bringing him on and getting important goals.

471
00:23:29,800 --> 00:23:33,800
We always criticised him for being too...

472
00:23:33,800 --> 00:23:34,440
Inconsistent.

473
00:23:34,440 --> 00:23:37,000
Yeah, kind of ridden off of form and form only.

474
00:23:37,000 --> 00:23:41,400
We know the quality is there, but he doesn't always have it pretty much.

475
00:23:42,280 --> 00:23:45,160
So bringing him off the bench, giving him 25 minutes,

476
00:23:45,160 --> 00:23:47,880
like, okay, prove yourself, go, kind of thing.

477
00:23:47,880 --> 00:23:51,640
I think we could really see the best of him over there.

478
00:23:51,640 --> 00:23:55,400
Probably a top side, but not as the protagonist.

479
00:23:56,680 --> 00:24:00,040
Eight goals conceded in the last seven games for Milan,

480
00:24:00,040 --> 00:24:03,720
which is probably more than the final stretch of the season last year.

481
00:24:03,720 --> 00:24:06,040
Milan are not the same defensively.

482
00:24:06,040 --> 00:24:11,480
Their stability is not as good, quite frankly, defensively.

483
00:24:12,120 --> 00:24:13,880
What do you think is the cause of that?

484
00:24:14,600 --> 00:24:18,680
I took Maniano on Fanta-Culture because Milan got a lot of clean sheets.

485
00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:21,480
And again, we simply control the destiny of this team.

486
00:24:22,520 --> 00:24:26,360
There's nothing I can look at and pinpoint in saying

487
00:24:27,320 --> 00:24:32,680
this individual or this individual hasn't been as good as last year.

488
00:24:32,680 --> 00:24:36,360
It just seems like as a unit, as a unit,

489
00:24:39,160 --> 00:24:41,560
they're not performing as well as they were last year.

490
00:24:41,560 --> 00:24:43,720
And it's down to many factors.

491
00:24:43,720 --> 00:24:46,520
I mean, that's always these isolated instances, no?

492
00:24:47,960 --> 00:24:52,280
It's not like there's an overall lack of performance.

493
00:24:52,280 --> 00:24:55,080
You know, it's not a lack of performance.

494
00:24:55,080 --> 00:24:58,440
It's a lot of freak goals, like the two goals against Lugnaz,

495
00:24:58,440 --> 00:25:02,840
a kind of both out of nowhere set piece here and there.

496
00:25:02,840 --> 00:25:06,680
A couple of goals at the near post that you don't really want to see.

497
00:25:09,160 --> 00:25:12,760
Two penalties as well were conceded this year, thus far, I believe.

498
00:25:13,800 --> 00:25:20,520
I think many of these goals, bro, go down to overly aggressive pressing in defense.

499
00:25:21,800 --> 00:25:25,160
Like you see Tom Ori and Kalulu typically,

500
00:25:25,160 --> 00:25:28,840
the way they press the guy on the ball, like if you both commit,

501
00:25:28,840 --> 00:25:34,920
like, for example, on Simeone's goal, you see three players pressing Simeone and no one gets the ball.

502
00:25:34,920 --> 00:25:39,800
If you go in, if you commit three men onto one player, you have to get the ball, you have to foul him.

503
00:25:39,800 --> 00:25:43,080
You can't let them play the ball because look how much space there's around, you know?

504
00:25:43,080 --> 00:25:46,600
Everyone's concentrated in that one area just outside the box.

505
00:25:46,600 --> 00:25:51,560
And I feel like that goal was, we've seen it before this season.

506
00:25:51,560 --> 00:25:56,360
So Dinez, there was a similar one, like this overly aggressive pressing at the back.

507
00:25:56,360 --> 00:26:01,800
And I feel like Milan sometimes this season are playing hastily.

508
00:26:02,680 --> 00:26:05,640
Too much, like it's the 85th minute from the get go.

509
00:26:06,600 --> 00:26:13,160
Yes and no, because I kind of like the increased pressure in this Milan team.

510
00:26:13,160 --> 00:26:15,400
I like the bit of Geig into the play.

511
00:26:15,400 --> 00:26:18,600
I'm not saying Milan play with the Geig in press, but there's a little bit of Geig in.

512
00:26:18,600 --> 00:26:20,120
They do play with the Geig in press.

513
00:26:20,120 --> 00:26:21,880
They do play with the Geig in press.

514
00:26:22,920 --> 00:26:23,720
Is that a fact?

515
00:26:23,720 --> 00:26:24,920
Of course, of course.

516
00:26:24,920 --> 00:26:26,600
It's high press, Geig in press is high press.

517
00:26:26,600 --> 00:26:28,040
Okay, okay.

518
00:26:28,040 --> 00:26:29,480
4-2-3-1 I believe.

519
00:26:29,480 --> 00:26:34,440
So it's good to see that all around when it gets tricky when it's the defenders.

520
00:26:34,440 --> 00:26:39,720
Now normally we'd say that we're covered because of the amount of pace there is within that back line.

521
00:26:39,720 --> 00:26:41,560
So if Tomori presses, Kalulu can cover.

522
00:26:41,560 --> 00:26:43,320
If Kalulu presses, Tomori can cover.

523
00:26:44,040 --> 00:26:46,920
But it's as simple as they've been being caught out.

524
00:26:46,920 --> 00:26:48,680
It's not simply down to those two.

525
00:26:48,680 --> 00:26:51,320
We see Theo Hernandez going up quite a bit.

526
00:26:51,320 --> 00:26:52,840
We see Tomori going up.

527
00:26:52,840 --> 00:26:54,120
We see Kalulu going up.

528
00:26:54,120 --> 00:26:55,720
We see Calabria going up.

529
00:26:55,720 --> 00:26:58,120
And it's probably counterattacks.

530
00:26:58,120 --> 00:27:00,840
The reason would be a lot of them would be counterattacks.

531
00:27:00,840 --> 00:27:05,560
It's catching Milan out or catching Milan on the press in that case.

532
00:27:05,560 --> 00:27:07,560
So that's probably it.

533
00:27:07,560 --> 00:27:12,360
The same thing that makes Milan so dangerous off and on the ball is the same thing that

534
00:27:12,360 --> 00:27:14,120
makes them vulnerable at the back.

535
00:27:14,120 --> 00:27:21,320
So probably after a bit of time come January, we'll see that back four gelling together

536
00:27:21,320 --> 00:27:23,720
better than they were in the beginning of the season.

537
00:27:23,720 --> 00:27:25,720
But we'll need to wait and see.

538
00:27:25,720 --> 00:27:27,720
We'll need to wait and see.

539
00:27:27,720 --> 00:27:29,720
Theo's out for a while now, I heard, no?

540
00:27:29,720 --> 00:27:31,720
Around two weeks.

541
00:27:31,720 --> 00:27:33,720
Apparently, yes, he might be back for the Chelsea game.

542
00:27:33,720 --> 00:27:35,720
So we'll see how he does.

543
00:27:35,720 --> 00:27:39,720
But yes, both him and Calabria were pulled off the national teams.

544
00:27:39,720 --> 00:27:41,720
Origi should be back though for Champions League.

545
00:27:41,720 --> 00:27:43,720
Nice.

546
00:27:43,720 --> 00:27:46,120
We'll see what happens to him right before to miss it.

547
00:27:46,120 --> 00:27:52,120
Speaking of Theo Hernandez, bro, it was nice to see him making the team walk to the fans

548
00:27:52,120 --> 00:27:54,120
at the end of the game as they were singing.

549
00:27:54,120 --> 00:27:56,120
They were doing the whole...

550
00:27:56,120 --> 00:27:58,120
What's the song?

551
00:27:58,120 --> 00:28:00,120
That's where they sing.

552
00:28:00,120 --> 00:28:06,120
They're singing it.

553
00:28:06,120 --> 00:28:08,120
Exactly.

554
00:28:08,120 --> 00:28:14,120
And that was called to...

555
00:28:14,120 --> 00:28:16,120
When Milan aren't winning, the fans sing that basically.

556
00:28:16,120 --> 00:28:18,120
It's like, we'll always support you.

557
00:28:18,120 --> 00:28:20,120
We'll never leave you.

558
00:28:20,120 --> 00:28:22,120
You're our only love.

559
00:28:22,120 --> 00:28:24,120
All that.

560
00:28:24,120 --> 00:28:26,120
So the fans were singing that at the end of the game, which was nice to see.

561
00:28:26,120 --> 00:28:28,120
There was a time when every time Milan would lose a game, the players would get booed to oblivion.

562
00:28:28,120 --> 00:28:30,120
This is the best time in recent history to be a Milan fan.

563
00:28:30,120 --> 00:28:32,120
For sure.

564
00:28:32,120 --> 00:28:36,120
And I know there's 2007 winning the Champions League, Kakao winning the Ballon d'Or,

565
00:28:36,120 --> 00:28:38,120
and all that, and there's 90s as well.

566
00:28:38,120 --> 00:28:44,120
But I've never seen the fans have so much faith in the players,

567
00:28:44,120 --> 00:28:46,120
the players have so much faith in the coach,

568
00:28:46,120 --> 00:28:48,120
everyone playing for the shirt.

569
00:28:48,120 --> 00:28:50,120
We've filtered out the ones that weren't.

570
00:28:50,120 --> 00:28:54,120
And there's just this belief, this enthusiasm,

571
00:28:54,120 --> 00:28:56,120
everyone that's there purely at the helm.

572
00:28:56,120 --> 00:29:02,120
And there's just love and respect and acceptance all around, man.

573
00:29:02,120 --> 00:29:04,120
Everyone wants everyone to perform well.

574
00:29:04,120 --> 00:29:08,120
I haven't heard of any instances where there were clashes between teammates

575
00:29:08,120 --> 00:29:12,120
or clashes between coaches, the staff and players.

576
00:29:12,120 --> 00:29:14,120
And the only one that was caused an uproar,

577
00:29:14,120 --> 00:29:18,120
it was Calabria being disappointed when he was subbed off in the Champions League.

578
00:29:18,120 --> 00:29:20,120
And he was sulking a bit.

579
00:29:20,120 --> 00:29:22,120
There you go.

580
00:29:22,120 --> 00:29:24,120
But yeah, you're absolutely right, it's true.

581
00:29:24,120 --> 00:29:26,120
This Milan's very cohesive.

582
00:29:26,120 --> 00:29:30,120
Napoli and Atalanta are the only two unbeaten teams in the league so far, bro.

583
00:29:30,120 --> 00:29:32,120
Fun fact.

584
00:29:32,120 --> 00:29:34,120
And there you go.

585
00:29:34,120 --> 00:29:36,120
I find they're very similar, those two teams.

586
00:29:36,120 --> 00:29:40,120
I know their formations and their shape would be completely different,

587
00:29:40,120 --> 00:29:43,120
but their high intensity football is very similar.

588
00:29:43,120 --> 00:29:48,120
I see a lot of similarities between Gasparini's style of play and Spalletti's style of play.

589
00:29:48,120 --> 00:29:51,120
Maybe Gasparini's style of play last year and the previous years,

590
00:29:51,120 --> 00:29:53,120
not so much this year.

591
00:29:53,120 --> 00:29:54,120
No, this year's a bit different.

592
00:29:54,120 --> 00:29:58,120
I still need to put my finger on what Atalanta are doing this year.

593
00:29:58,120 --> 00:30:02,120
They seem a lot more defensive than they were in previous years,

594
00:30:02,120 --> 00:30:04,120
which gives them a better balance.

595
00:30:04,120 --> 00:30:09,120
They're not quite winning game 7-1, like they would randomly a couple of seasons ago,

596
00:30:09,120 --> 00:30:12,120
but they're still undefeated, which is a good sign.

597
00:30:12,120 --> 00:30:14,120
We'll get into them later on.

598
00:30:14,120 --> 00:30:17,120
I have a few points I would like to make about Atalanta.

599
00:30:17,120 --> 00:30:19,120
We'll try to move on because we've been on this game for a while.

600
00:30:19,120 --> 00:30:22,120
Hey, bro. In fact, we can conclude.

601
00:30:22,120 --> 00:30:24,120
Guess what I haven't prepared?

602
00:30:24,120 --> 00:30:26,120
Oh my God, where they are.

603
00:30:26,120 --> 00:30:29,120
Yeah, don't worry. I'm pulling up the table.

604
00:30:29,120 --> 00:30:35,120
Napoli sit first with 17 points, while Milan sit fifth with 14 points.

605
00:30:35,120 --> 00:30:40,120
The next game we're going to be covering might be deemed as the biggest upset that there was,

606
00:30:40,120 --> 00:30:44,120
but to people that have been tuning in on Botring Serie A for the past four weeks,

607
00:30:44,120 --> 00:30:46,120
then perhaps it's not.

608
00:30:46,120 --> 00:30:48,120
It's Udinese 3-1.

609
00:30:48,120 --> 00:30:52,120
Udinese were coming off a 3-1 away victory to Sassuolo.

610
00:30:52,120 --> 00:30:57,120
Faisinta were coming off a 1-0 victory against Torino with that last-minute goal,

611
00:30:57,120 --> 00:31:01,120
and a 2-0 away victory at the hands of Victoria Plizan,

612
00:31:01,120 --> 00:31:05,120
who have the stupidest name I've ever heard in my life.

613
00:31:05,120 --> 00:31:06,120
Victoria Plizan.

614
00:31:06,120 --> 00:31:09,120
Bro, there isn't one vowel in there.

615
00:31:09,120 --> 00:31:11,120
PLZN.

616
00:31:11,120 --> 00:31:21,120
It sounds like one of those local youth student councils in the world, the PLZN.

617
00:31:21,120 --> 00:31:25,120
Short for Partit Laborista Za Zah Nacional.

618
00:31:25,120 --> 00:31:27,120
Or some fucking shit.

619
00:31:27,120 --> 00:31:29,120
I don't know.

620
00:31:29,120 --> 00:31:33,120
Udinese are now on five wins, one loss and one draw,

621
00:31:33,120 --> 00:31:37,120
while Sintra are on four wins and three losses.

622
00:31:37,120 --> 00:31:41,120
So looking at their lineups, Udinese lined up with their 3-5-2 formation,

623
00:31:41,120 --> 00:31:46,120
Silvestri between the sticks, a back three of Becquiao, Bijole and Neu in Pérez,

624
00:31:46,120 --> 00:31:51,120
Udodjie and Pereira out wide with Mackengo, Wallace and Lovric in the middle,

625
00:31:51,120 --> 00:31:54,120
Beato and Deleveaux starting up front.

626
00:31:54,120 --> 00:31:56,120
A very versatile team.

627
00:31:56,120 --> 00:31:58,120
You look at the substitutes as well.

628
00:31:58,120 --> 00:32:03,120
There's Isaac Success, there's Samardzic, there's Arslan, so on so forth.

629
00:32:03,120 --> 00:32:05,120
Very versatile team.

630
00:32:05,120 --> 00:32:07,120
You then look at Inter.

631
00:32:07,120 --> 00:32:10,120
Can you imagine De Paul and Molina on that team?

632
00:32:10,120 --> 00:32:11,120
Jesus Christ.

633
00:32:11,120 --> 00:32:12,120
That would be crazy.

634
00:32:12,120 --> 00:32:13,120
It would be.

635
00:32:13,120 --> 00:32:14,120
Fucking hell.

636
00:32:14,120 --> 00:32:18,120
I don't know how they line up, they're more team-oriented than they've been in recent years.

637
00:32:18,120 --> 00:32:20,120
Yeah, I agree.

638
00:32:20,120 --> 00:32:22,120
You then look at Inter's lineup also,

639
00:32:22,120 --> 00:32:29,120
Fielding at 3-5-2, Handanovic and Golovic, Skriniar, Acerbi and Bastoni at the back line,

640
00:32:29,120 --> 00:32:34,120
Dumfries and Darmian being the wing backs with Barela, Brozovic and Miketarijn in the midfield,

641
00:32:34,120 --> 00:32:36,120
and Lautaro and Zerko up front.

642
00:32:36,120 --> 00:32:38,120
Obviously Lukaku is still injured.

643
00:32:38,120 --> 00:32:40,120
He's been training alone at the moment.

644
00:32:40,120 --> 00:32:46,120
And Shala Noglu is injured and is out for two to three weeks because of a hamstring injury.

645
00:32:46,120 --> 00:32:50,120
And Acerbi starting at the back ahead of Devri, was a bit of rotation.

646
00:32:50,120 --> 00:32:53,120
Is it a bit of rotation? Is it things to come?

647
00:32:53,120 --> 00:32:56,120
We'll have to wait and see.

648
00:32:56,120 --> 00:32:59,120
Acerbi might be better than Devri at the moment, to be honest.

649
00:32:59,120 --> 00:33:04,120
At the moment, Acerbi was the only one that had a decent performance this time round.

650
00:33:04,120 --> 00:33:07,120
Bastoni wasn't exactly great, he was caught out a little bit.

651
00:33:07,120 --> 00:33:11,120
Skriniar had a bit of a shocker, but I'm about to get into all of this.

652
00:33:11,120 --> 00:33:13,120
The scoring was opened in the fifth minute.

653
00:33:13,120 --> 00:33:17,120
Do you remember I said Pellegrini is better than Barela because he can hit free kicks and stuff?

654
00:33:17,120 --> 00:33:19,120
Yes, bro, I remember that very clearly.

655
00:33:19,120 --> 00:33:23,120
He's been doing none of that. Barela smacked in a free kick this time round,

656
00:33:23,120 --> 00:33:26,120
making my point absolutely un-nulled.

657
00:33:26,120 --> 00:33:28,120
Stunning free kick.

658
00:33:28,120 --> 00:33:34,120
It was just outside the area off to the left-hand side, and he curled it into exactly the top corner,

659
00:33:34,120 --> 00:33:36,120
pinpointed into the top corner.

660
00:33:36,120 --> 00:33:39,120
Nothing any goalkeeper in the world could have done about it.

661
00:33:39,120 --> 00:33:42,120
A brilliant strike by Nicolo Barela.

662
00:33:42,120 --> 00:33:44,120
Except Skorupski, bro.

663
00:33:44,120 --> 00:33:48,120
Except perhaps Skorupski, but that doesn't mean Mannian could do something about it as well,

664
00:33:48,120 --> 00:33:50,120
because he's number one and number two subsequently.

665
00:33:50,120 --> 00:33:52,120
You're right, yeah.

666
00:33:52,120 --> 00:33:58,120
I don't normally mention yellow cards, but I think it's important to point out that in the 13th minute

667
00:33:58,120 --> 00:34:02,120
and in the 21st minute, Bastoni and Mkhitaryan were both booked,

668
00:34:02,120 --> 00:34:06,120
probably because of the NERZA make teams do that.

669
00:34:06,120 --> 00:34:11,120
And then in the 22nd minute, Skriniar put the ball into his own net

670
00:34:11,120 --> 00:34:16,120
after Pereira's free kick cross hit Skriniar's hip and into the back of the net.

671
00:34:16,120 --> 00:34:18,120
He might have not saw it coming.

672
00:34:18,120 --> 00:34:20,120
There was a lot of commotion going on in front of him.

673
00:34:20,120 --> 00:34:25,120
The ball seemed to get through, hit him in the hip, and it went into the back of the net.

674
00:34:25,120 --> 00:34:27,120
Very dangerous cross by Pereira.

675
00:34:27,120 --> 00:34:33,120
I love it when you see those powerful cross coming in just into the middle of the box and all that mayhem.

676
00:34:33,120 --> 00:34:35,120
It's like good luck.

677
00:34:35,120 --> 00:34:39,120
In the 30th minute then, a double change by Simone Nzaghi.

678
00:34:39,120 --> 00:34:40,120
Very, very controversial.

679
00:34:40,120 --> 00:34:43,120
Taking out Mkhitaryan and Bastoni, who were on yellow cards,

680
00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:47,120
bringing on Gagliardini and De Marco.

681
00:34:47,120 --> 00:34:49,120
Weird, to say the least.

682
00:34:49,120 --> 00:34:50,120
Really weird.

683
00:34:50,120 --> 00:34:52,120
A very, very weird move.

684
00:34:52,120 --> 00:34:56,120
If you take out Mkhitaryan in the 30th minute and you bring on Gagliardini,

685
00:34:56,120 --> 00:34:58,120
who's going to fucking charge here.

686
00:34:58,120 --> 00:34:59,120
Exactly.

687
00:34:59,120 --> 00:35:04,120
It's weird taking out Bastoni as well, but I get that you're bringing on De Marco.

688
00:35:04,120 --> 00:35:08,120
You're bringing on someone that can play the ball from the back three.

689
00:35:08,120 --> 00:35:11,120
Although Bastoni can do that, no problem whatsoever.

690
00:35:11,120 --> 00:35:14,120
I would have made this change later on.

691
00:35:14,120 --> 00:35:16,120
You take out Mkhitaryan.

692
00:35:16,120 --> 00:35:17,120
You're missing Chalanooglu.

693
00:35:17,120 --> 00:35:21,120
You put Mkhitaryan on instead of him so you still have that attacking avenue.

694
00:35:21,120 --> 00:35:24,120
You take him out in 30 minutes because he got a yellow card,

695
00:35:24,120 --> 00:35:26,120
and you replace him with Gagliardini.

696
00:35:26,120 --> 00:35:27,120
Exactly.

697
00:35:27,120 --> 00:35:34,120
He's prioritizing the probability of being sent off,

698
00:35:34,120 --> 00:35:37,120
of being a man down over the actual cohesiveness of the team.

699
00:35:37,120 --> 00:35:38,120
Exactly.

700
00:35:38,120 --> 00:35:39,120
Exactly.

701
00:35:39,120 --> 00:35:41,120
And it's a weird decision, especially.

702
00:35:41,120 --> 00:35:46,120
I get it if you take out a defender at half time, like Piolli did.

703
00:35:46,120 --> 00:35:50,120
Well, to be honest, Calabria had picked up a knock as well.

704
00:35:50,120 --> 00:35:53,120
But you take out a defender at half time, I get it.

705
00:35:53,120 --> 00:35:56,120
No need to take out your attacking midfielder because he's on a yellow card.

706
00:35:56,120 --> 00:35:58,120
There's no need to do that.

707
00:35:58,120 --> 00:36:02,120
If they had Sensi still and they brought on Sensi,

708
00:36:02,120 --> 00:36:06,120
I might close an eye and say, okay, they still have an attacking avenue over,

709
00:36:06,120 --> 00:36:08,120
even though Sensi was rubbish for Inter.

710
00:36:08,120 --> 00:36:12,120
But bringing on Gagliardini over there against Udinese,

711
00:36:12,120 --> 00:36:14,120
are you playing for a draw here, bro?

712
00:36:14,120 --> 00:36:18,120
You just conceded and you're bringing on Gagliardini?

713
00:36:18,120 --> 00:36:19,120
What's going on?

714
00:36:19,120 --> 00:36:22,120
Honestly, bro, I have no idea what the hell he was thinking.

715
00:36:22,120 --> 00:36:23,120
It's really fucking weird.

716
00:36:23,120 --> 00:36:24,120
It's really weird.

717
00:36:24,120 --> 00:36:25,120
Really weird one.

718
00:36:25,120 --> 00:36:28,120
You know, as you mentioned, Piolli did the same thing,

719
00:36:28,120 --> 00:36:34,120
but Piolli was up against one of the best 1v1 wingers in the league,

720
00:36:34,120 --> 00:36:37,120
probably the best alongside or behind Leo, probably behind Leo.

721
00:36:37,120 --> 00:36:38,120
Exactly.

722
00:36:38,120 --> 00:36:42,120
But yes, so this game, you really don't trust your guys

723
00:36:42,120 --> 00:36:45,120
to finish the first half without being sent off.

724
00:36:45,120 --> 00:36:49,120
You could see Bastoni was so visibly irate when he was substituted.

725
00:36:49,120 --> 00:36:53,120
And I think there is something going on within that inter camp

726
00:36:53,120 --> 00:36:56,120
where players aren't too happy maybe with the management of...

727
00:36:56,120 --> 00:36:59,120
I don't know if it's the management of Simone Enzaghi

728
00:36:59,120 --> 00:37:03,120
or maybe there's a bit of an atmosphere of hotheads.

729
00:37:03,120 --> 00:37:09,120
This is essentially the same side that lifted the trophy under Conte.

730
00:37:09,120 --> 00:37:12,120
So you must have a few characters over there.

731
00:37:12,120 --> 00:37:16,120
You must have a few divas, so to say.

732
00:37:16,120 --> 00:37:22,120
And this is the first time Enzaghi is leading an inter side

733
00:37:22,120 --> 00:37:24,120
that aren't champions, an inter side that lost the league

734
00:37:24,120 --> 00:37:26,120
because Radu fucked up.

735
00:37:26,120 --> 00:37:32,120
And you can probably imagine, right, that behind the managers back,

736
00:37:32,120 --> 00:37:34,120
these guys would be saying he's no Conte.

737
00:37:34,120 --> 00:37:36,120
For sure.

738
00:37:36,120 --> 00:37:38,120
And I mean the relationship they had with Conte,

739
00:37:38,120 --> 00:37:41,120
there was that whole time Lautaro boxed him

740
00:37:41,120 --> 00:37:43,120
because they had a public argument.

741
00:37:43,120 --> 00:37:46,120
They're like, OK, we settled this in the ring.

742
00:37:46,120 --> 00:37:49,120
That's fucking brilliant. You know what I mean?

743
00:37:49,120 --> 00:37:52,120
Now they have this guy who looks like Pippo but sweats like Lieven.

744
00:37:52,120 --> 00:37:54,120
He looks like he pisses himself.

745
00:37:54,120 --> 00:37:59,120
He looks like someone that has like pee in his underwear.

746
00:37:59,120 --> 00:38:03,120
Please elaborate on that point.

747
00:38:03,120 --> 00:38:05,120
You don't know what I mean.

748
00:38:05,120 --> 00:38:07,120
Looks like he has a pee stain.

749
00:38:07,120 --> 00:38:13,120
Yes, like one of those salesmen with the long hair,

750
00:38:13,120 --> 00:38:18,120
the baggy suit that's trying to sell you a Toyota Corolla from 1999

751
00:38:18,120 --> 00:38:21,120
with 80,000 kilometers on it.

752
00:38:21,120 --> 00:38:25,120
He's like smacking the trunk of it while he's talking.

753
00:38:25,120 --> 00:38:27,120
It just strikes me as that kind of guy.

754
00:38:27,120 --> 00:38:31,120
How do you know that this type of person would have dirty underwear?

755
00:38:31,120 --> 00:38:34,120
Are you trying to make me politically incorrect?

756
00:38:34,120 --> 00:38:40,120
You want me to say because all salesmen smell like piss or something?

757
00:38:40,120 --> 00:38:42,120
I think it's because you're a salesman, my brother,

758
00:38:42,120 --> 00:38:44,120
so maybe you have dirty underwear.

759
00:38:44,120 --> 00:38:46,120
I just want to point out that I'm the head of sales.

760
00:38:46,120 --> 00:38:48,120
The head of sales.

761
00:38:48,120 --> 00:38:50,120
It's like Sean.

762
00:38:50,120 --> 00:38:52,120
The head of sales.

763
00:38:52,120 --> 00:38:54,120
In English.

764
00:38:54,120 --> 00:38:56,120
The second half.

765
00:38:56,120 --> 00:38:58,120
At this point, 1-1.

766
00:38:58,120 --> 00:39:00,120
Inter have no yellow cards.

767
00:39:00,120 --> 00:39:02,120
Whoop-de-fucking-doo.

768
00:39:02,120 --> 00:39:06,120
The sixth minute Matteo D'Armian yellow card.

769
00:39:06,120 --> 00:39:10,120
Later on in the second half, there was a brilliant...

770
00:39:10,120 --> 00:39:17,120
...and then Delafoe hit the post with a low and hard attempt,

771
00:39:17,120 --> 00:39:20,120
and they had Handanovic totally rooted to the spot.

772
00:39:20,120 --> 00:39:22,120
Delafoe was on fucking fire, man.

773
00:39:22,120 --> 00:39:24,120
He really was.

774
00:39:24,120 --> 00:39:27,120
It was then in the 79th minute.

775
00:39:27,120 --> 00:39:34,120
It took till the 84th minute for Bijol to score, making it 2-1 for Odinese.

776
00:39:34,120 --> 00:39:38,120
It was a near post corner taken by Delafoe that found Bijol,

777
00:39:38,120 --> 00:39:41,120
who directed the ball into the bottom far corner.

778
00:39:41,120 --> 00:39:44,120
Handanovic rooted to the spot, but there's not...

779
00:39:44,120 --> 00:39:47,120
...but that, maybe try to show that...

780
00:39:47,120 --> 00:39:55,120
And then it was the 92nd minute that Delafoe had another moment of brilliance to assist Tolga Arslan.

781
00:39:55,120 --> 00:40:00,120
It was a brilliant cross by Delafoe that found him totally, totally by himself,

782
00:40:00,120 --> 00:40:04,120
and he headed the ball in off the crossbar just over the goalkeeper.

783
00:40:04,120 --> 00:40:12,120
I want to fact check because I said that Pereira's free kick hit Skriniar's hip and went into the back of the net.

784
00:40:12,120 --> 00:40:15,120
Was it Pereira or Delafoe?

785
00:40:15,120 --> 00:40:20,120
Because I saw that Delafoe had three goal contributions, but I'm obviously only counting the two assists.

786
00:40:20,120 --> 00:40:22,120
It might have been Delafoe, to be honest.

787
00:40:22,120 --> 00:40:24,120
I can't quite remember right now.

788
00:40:24,120 --> 00:40:27,120
I know Delafoe struck the post.

789
00:40:27,120 --> 00:40:30,120
He did when he had Handanovic rooted to the spot,

790
00:40:30,120 --> 00:40:34,120
Lowhard attempted us after the save on Lovric.

791
00:40:34,120 --> 00:40:39,120
Where the hell do we start from? Where the fuck do we start from?

792
00:40:39,120 --> 00:40:42,120
I have something I'd like to say about Inter.

793
00:40:42,120 --> 00:40:47,120
So first of all, Inter have lost two games this season.

794
00:40:47,120 --> 00:40:49,120
No, in the league.

795
00:40:49,120 --> 00:40:50,120
No, three now.

796
00:40:50,120 --> 00:40:53,120
Three, yes. They've lost against Lazio, Milan and Odinese.

797
00:40:53,120 --> 00:40:59,120
Now granted, they've lost against three good sides.

798
00:40:59,120 --> 00:41:05,120
At the moment, Odinese's form, it's undeniable to say that they're not one of the best sides in the league.

799
00:41:05,120 --> 00:41:07,120
They lost against Milan, fine.

800
00:41:07,120 --> 00:41:10,120
And they lost against Lazio as they did last season, fine.

801
00:41:10,120 --> 00:41:13,120
Are people panicking too early?

802
00:41:13,120 --> 00:41:18,120
Because I've seen people calling for Anzaki's head, saying that he's not ready to coach.

803
00:41:18,120 --> 00:41:23,120
That he can't handle the pressure of San Siro and all this stuff.

804
00:41:23,120 --> 00:41:25,120
Do you think this is true?

805
00:41:25,120 --> 00:41:33,120
Look, I mean, like I said earlier, this is the first time that Anzaki has 11 mentors,

806
00:41:33,120 --> 00:41:36,120
or something that aren't the champions of Italy.

807
00:41:36,120 --> 00:41:42,120
So it's the first time they have to inspire themselves.

808
00:41:42,120 --> 00:41:46,120
They have to come back and, yep, inspire themselves,

809
00:41:46,120 --> 00:41:49,120
rather than be inspired from the fact that they're champions and they're on a high.

810
00:41:49,120 --> 00:41:54,120
So they have to come back from disappointment, essentially,

811
00:41:54,120 --> 00:41:59,120
in the manner at which they fucking lost the league in the first place.

812
00:41:59,120 --> 00:42:06,120
Now, are they exactly playing uninspiring and unattractive football?

813
00:42:06,120 --> 00:42:11,120
I don't think they're playing uninspiring and unattractive football, but I think they're limited.

814
00:42:11,120 --> 00:42:15,120
They're limited in certain avenues that they certainly weren't limited in last season.

815
00:42:15,120 --> 00:42:18,120
We start off with the Perisic, the whole Perisic thing.

816
00:42:18,120 --> 00:42:24,120
Down the left-hand side, Gawson comes in, you keep him on the bench,

817
00:42:24,120 --> 00:42:29,120
he's recovering and you keep on utilising Perisic because he's on such great form.

818
00:42:29,120 --> 00:42:37,120
He does that, Perisic fucks off to Tottenham and you give Gawson the opportunity.

819
00:42:37,120 --> 00:42:39,120
Is he being given the opportunity?

820
00:42:39,120 --> 00:42:40,120
No, I don't.

821
00:42:40,120 --> 00:42:43,120
Because from what I'm hearing, they want to give him to Brentford,

822
00:42:43,120 --> 00:42:46,120
they want to start Darmian on the left-hand side.

823
00:42:46,120 --> 00:42:49,120
He was very close to going to Germany, I believe.

824
00:42:49,120 --> 00:42:54,120
He was linked with fucking Brentford and Leverkusen, man.

825
00:42:54,120 --> 00:42:58,120
Is it a Gawson's problem, that? Is it a team problem?

826
00:42:58,120 --> 00:43:07,120
I think Nzaghi needs to appreciate the player that he has available over here, Gawson's, the monster.

827
00:43:07,120 --> 00:43:14,120
That is the same Gawson's that we saw at Atalanta two years ago, three years ago.

828
00:43:14,120 --> 00:43:17,120
He was an animal, an absolute animal on the left, one of the best.

829
00:43:17,120 --> 00:43:20,120
There were shouts that he was better than Theo at the time.

830
00:43:20,120 --> 00:43:23,120
He needs to get this guy and make him feel like he's part of the project,

831
00:43:23,120 --> 00:43:26,120
that he's a centre-part of the project, play him even if he doesn't play well,

832
00:43:26,120 --> 00:43:29,120
build a team around him, give him the confidence to succeed.

833
00:43:29,120 --> 00:43:32,120
He's not going to get the confidence to succeed from the bench.

834
00:43:32,120 --> 00:43:34,120
No, absolutely not.

835
00:43:34,120 --> 00:43:44,120
And he has something that, interlack at the moment, interlack an individual that can basically charge forward and take a motherfucker on.

836
00:43:44,120 --> 00:43:49,120
Lukaku was injured and he's really not that guy anymore anyway.

837
00:43:49,120 --> 00:43:54,120
Lautaro is good in between the lines, but he's not exactly a dribbler.

838
00:43:54,120 --> 00:43:56,120
Barela maybe is a little bit of that.

839
00:43:56,120 --> 00:43:58,120
One v one dribblers, they're extremely limited.

840
00:43:58,120 --> 00:43:59,120
Exactly.

841
00:43:59,120 --> 00:44:02,120
I believe the stat was that their joint lost with Cremona.

842
00:44:02,120 --> 00:44:04,120
Yeah, it's a 4.7.

843
00:44:04,120 --> 00:44:05,120
Oh, sorry.

844
00:44:05,120 --> 00:44:10,120
The actual stat is 4.7 successful dribbles on average per match.

845
00:44:10,120 --> 00:44:12,120
Gossens can be that guy.

846
00:44:12,120 --> 00:44:15,120
Gossens can really be that guy down the left.

847
00:44:15,120 --> 00:44:22,120
He can really advance forward, he can square the ball, he can pull the ball back, he can cut it inside, not giving him that opportunity.

848
00:44:22,120 --> 00:44:24,120
They're playing Darmian Inverted.

849
00:44:24,120 --> 00:44:25,120
Give me a fucking break.

850
00:44:25,120 --> 00:44:26,120
Don't play Darmian Inverted.

851
00:44:26,120 --> 00:44:30,120
Try to get Gossens into the game a little bit.

852
00:44:30,120 --> 00:44:36,120
But I don't think Inzaghi, I don't think they should be calling for Inzaghi to be sacked yet.

853
00:44:36,120 --> 00:44:39,120
Firstly, give a coach two years, always give a coach two years.

854
00:44:39,120 --> 00:44:43,120
Someone with the caliber of Inzaghi at a team like Inter, give him two years.

855
00:44:43,120 --> 00:44:44,120
I don't think it's as simple as that.

856
00:44:44,120 --> 00:44:51,120
Imagine though halfway through the season he's in high risk of missing out on trapping his league football.

857
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:58,120
Let's say he's in sixth and he's nine points off of fourth, for example, halfway through the season.

858
00:44:58,120 --> 00:45:02,120
You know what I mean? That might be sackable considering Inter's ambitions now.

859
00:45:02,120 --> 00:45:04,120
Yeah, but we're seven days in.

860
00:45:04,120 --> 00:45:06,120
Sorry, seven games in.

861
00:45:06,120 --> 00:45:09,120
So I don't think they should be calling for him to be sacked yet.

862
00:45:09,120 --> 00:45:11,120
It's way too early still right now, exactly.

863
00:45:11,120 --> 00:45:15,120
I do agree, but I was responding to the two-year claim.

864
00:45:15,120 --> 00:45:19,120
I think with, obviously it depends on the situation.

865
00:45:19,120 --> 00:45:26,120
If they're fucking, like you said, out of Europe in that case, then that's obviously...

866
00:45:26,120 --> 00:45:30,120
It's expected that you would sack your coach in that sense.

867
00:45:30,120 --> 00:45:33,120
But I still don't think it would be a no-brainer in that case.

868
00:45:33,120 --> 00:45:42,120
I think if you look at Inter and they need to get Champions League, let's say they're in fifth or they would have a couple of games remaining.

869
00:45:42,120 --> 00:45:49,120
You totally ditch Inzaghi, who's very capable of getting you there, and you've seen it before for an entirely new project.

870
00:45:49,120 --> 00:45:53,120
So it's always up for debate, and I always like to give the benefit of the doubt to the manager.

871
00:45:53,120 --> 00:45:57,120
But let's stick to Inter right now.

872
00:45:57,120 --> 00:45:59,120
What would you say is their biggest concern?

873
00:45:59,120 --> 00:46:10,120
Their lack of defensive depth, their lack of creativity in midfield, their manager's obsession with statistics.

874
00:46:10,120 --> 00:46:13,120
Those are the three concerns, I think, in my opinion, for Inter.

875
00:46:13,120 --> 00:46:19,120
And does the atmosphere within the team come to mind when I mention concerns for Inter?

876
00:46:19,120 --> 00:46:24,120
It's only natural that when you don't win, things aren't going to look as pleasant.

877
00:46:24,120 --> 00:46:28,120
These were the same guys we saw when they were winning games.

878
00:46:28,120 --> 00:46:33,120
They were having all these barbecues, posting on social media, living the time of their lives.

879
00:46:33,120 --> 00:46:41,120
So obviously the mood is reflected by the performance and by the results rather, not even the performances.

880
00:46:41,120 --> 00:46:45,120
So I think right now, look, they lost one, they won one, they lost one, they won one, they lost one.

881
00:46:45,120 --> 00:46:46,120
It's not terrible yet.

882
00:46:46,120 --> 00:46:49,120
Yeah, not terrible, but certainly concerning.

883
00:46:49,120 --> 00:46:53,120
But at the end of the day, they lost against Anudineza that are flying right now.

884
00:46:53,120 --> 00:46:56,120
They're like no other team, pretty much.

885
00:46:56,120 --> 00:47:00,120
They lost against Milan in the derby and they lost against Lazio.

886
00:47:00,120 --> 00:47:04,120
And there's like this whole Simone and Zagikaris at Inter when they play Lazio.

887
00:47:04,120 --> 00:47:11,120
So three losses that at the end of the day could very much occur against a team like Inter.

888
00:47:11,120 --> 00:47:19,120
However, obviously it's disappointing as a manager and as a team, you have those three tough fixtures and you get zero out of nine potential points.

889
00:47:19,120 --> 00:47:21,120
Yes, let's see how this evolves.

890
00:47:21,120 --> 00:47:25,120
It's definitely too early for them to press the panic button.

891
00:47:25,120 --> 00:47:31,120
As we mentioned, they're two points off of fourth spot and very much within reach of the top of the table.

892
00:47:31,120 --> 00:47:32,120
Exactly.

893
00:47:32,120 --> 00:47:39,120
Let's jump a little bit to Anudineza, who have been stellar right now.

894
00:47:39,120 --> 00:47:45,120
So they have now beaten Fiorentina, Roma, Sassuolo and Inter.

895
00:47:45,120 --> 00:47:48,120
What is their ceiling for this season?

896
00:47:48,120 --> 00:47:53,120
I think at the rate things are going, they could definitely aim for a conference league spot.

897
00:47:53,120 --> 00:47:58,120
Do you think they are actively aiming for a conference league spot or do you think they'll see?

898
00:47:58,120 --> 00:48:00,120
How far can we possibly go?

899
00:48:00,120 --> 00:48:04,120
I think first, it is too early to look at the table,

900
00:48:04,120 --> 00:48:09,120
but they're probably looking at the fact that they can beat most of these top teams or they can give them a game at least.

901
00:48:09,120 --> 00:48:10,120
You know what I mean?

902
00:48:10,120 --> 00:48:14,120
They scored two against Milan, they beat Inter, they trashed Roma.

903
00:48:14,120 --> 00:48:17,120
They're probably thinking to themselves, listen, we can do something this year.

904
00:48:17,120 --> 00:48:20,120
Let's see where this goes.

905
00:48:20,120 --> 00:48:27,120
Probably, Sartil is telling his men not to take any notice of the table and play without pressure.

906
00:48:27,120 --> 00:48:32,120
Exactly. I think that's what they're doing so well.

907
00:48:32,120 --> 00:48:40,120
And this Sartil guy, there were so many questions asked about a guy that was managing Ascoli last year,

908
00:48:40,120 --> 00:48:43,120
but he's really come into this area.

909
00:48:43,120 --> 00:48:45,120
He was highly rated in Serie A, by the way.

910
00:48:45,120 --> 00:48:48,120
He came into Serie A and he's doing bits.

911
00:48:48,120 --> 00:48:50,120
What is he doing so well?

912
00:48:50,120 --> 00:48:52,120
So he adapted.

913
00:48:52,120 --> 00:48:59,120
The most important thing I believe that he did here was he adapted to the Neymar 3 at the back system that they've been using for so long.

914
00:48:59,120 --> 00:49:04,120
They've used it with Gotti, they used it with Choffy as well.

915
00:49:04,120 --> 00:49:07,120
All the guys that came before.

916
00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:18,120
He was playing for the back at Ascoli and that's typically his brand, but he came to this team and he focused on adapting himself to the team instead of adapting the team to himself.

917
00:49:18,120 --> 00:49:20,120
The opposite of what Aconte would do.

918
00:49:20,120 --> 00:49:25,120
Exactly. The opposite of what Sardy would do.

919
00:49:25,120 --> 00:49:28,120
And I feel like he's doing it brilliantly and he's making the most out of the tools he has.

920
00:49:28,120 --> 00:49:32,120
He has a bunch of utility players that he's using brilliantly.

921
00:49:32,120 --> 00:49:35,120
He gives players confidence.

922
00:49:35,120 --> 00:49:40,120
He has substitutes that feel like they could make an impact as well.

923
00:49:40,120 --> 00:49:42,120
He's really created a squad over here.

924
00:49:42,120 --> 00:49:43,120
He has, man.

925
00:49:43,120 --> 00:49:50,120
And it's also Odinezza were great towards the end of last season as well.

926
00:49:50,120 --> 00:49:55,120
Like the last quarter of the season, they were very good.

927
00:49:55,120 --> 00:50:00,120
But under Choffy and Gotti, it seemed like they were a bit boring to watch.

928
00:50:00,120 --> 00:50:08,120
They relied a bit too much on turning the game into a scrap and utilizing their physicality as much as they possibly can.

929
00:50:08,120 --> 00:50:09,120
They're so much more versatile.

930
00:50:09,120 --> 00:50:11,120
It feels like they have way more weapons.

931
00:50:11,120 --> 00:50:15,120
But when you look at the starting 11, all that changes is that they lost a threat like Molina.

932
00:50:15,120 --> 00:50:18,120
But suddenly it looks like they have all these weapons at their arsenal.

933
00:50:18,120 --> 00:50:25,120
So that high press, that fluid football, that dynamic football, high intensity, high pressure.

934
00:50:25,120 --> 00:50:27,120
It's just lovely to watch.

935
00:50:27,120 --> 00:50:30,120
And they're really capable of keeping it up for 90 minutes, man.

936
00:50:30,120 --> 00:50:33,120
You're in 90 minutes of hell when you play Odinezza right now.

937
00:50:33,120 --> 00:50:36,120
Definitely intense, intense 90 minutes.

938
00:50:36,120 --> 00:50:37,120
For sure.

939
00:50:37,120 --> 00:50:43,120
So it'll be interesting to see what they can do against the rest of the top seven sisters.

940
00:50:43,120 --> 00:50:44,120
I believe.

941
00:50:44,120 --> 00:50:45,120
What is it?

942
00:50:45,120 --> 00:50:47,120
Is it three down or four down now?

943
00:50:47,120 --> 00:50:48,120
Three down.

944
00:50:48,120 --> 00:50:50,120
Fiorentina, Roma and Inter.

945
00:50:50,120 --> 00:50:54,120
You can consider Fiorentina one of the top seven.

946
00:50:54,120 --> 00:50:58,120
They technically are and Atalanta are in Twitter's here, which is weird.

947
00:50:58,120 --> 00:51:03,120
Let's say three out of eight, three out of eight down, including the loss against Milan.

948
00:51:03,120 --> 00:51:06,120
I think we can move on to the next game.

949
00:51:06,120 --> 00:51:10,120
I don't want to praise Odinezza for too long.

950
00:51:10,120 --> 00:51:11,120
The table.

951
00:51:11,120 --> 00:51:13,120
Oh, yeah, you're right.

952
00:51:13,120 --> 00:51:14,120
Ha ha.

953
00:51:14,120 --> 00:51:19,120
The maestro gets gets what gets what maestro?

954
00:51:19,120 --> 00:51:21,120
The I guess so.

955
00:51:21,120 --> 00:51:22,120
Yeah.

956
00:51:22,120 --> 00:51:23,120
How the turntable.

957
00:51:23,120 --> 00:51:24,120
Exactly.

958
00:51:24,120 --> 00:51:28,120
So Inter are currently in seventh on 12 points.

959
00:51:28,120 --> 00:51:32,120
But, you know, two points out of that Champions League spot.

960
00:51:32,120 --> 00:51:33,120
So relax.

961
00:51:33,120 --> 00:51:37,120
And Odinezza in third on 16 points, one point behind first.

962
00:51:37,120 --> 00:51:42,120
So the next game we're going to be covering is Roma nil Atalanta one.

963
00:51:42,120 --> 00:51:44,120
One, not one.

964
00:51:44,120 --> 00:51:50,120
Roma had won their last two Serie A meetings with Atalanta under Jose Mourinho.

965
00:51:50,120 --> 00:51:54,120
They could have made the three in a row for the first time since 2011, bro.

966
00:51:54,120 --> 00:51:58,120
This was under Claudio Ranieri and Luis Enrique.

967
00:51:58,120 --> 00:51:59,120
Quite a while.

968
00:51:59,120 --> 00:52:00,120
Yes.

969
00:52:00,120 --> 00:52:03,120
But Atalanta caused an upset.

970
00:52:03,120 --> 00:52:04,120
Would you call this an upset?

971
00:52:04,120 --> 00:52:06,120
I would totally call this an upset personally.

972
00:52:06,120 --> 00:52:08,120
Let's get into the lineups and I will discuss that.

973
00:52:08,120 --> 00:52:09,120
OK.

974
00:52:09,120 --> 00:52:14,120
Roma lined up lined up with Rui Patricio on goal.

975
00:52:14,120 --> 00:52:17,120
Mancini, Smolling and De'Banja is at the back.

976
00:52:17,120 --> 00:52:18,120
Spinazzola on the left.

977
00:52:18,120 --> 00:52:20,120
Celic on the right.

978
00:52:20,120 --> 00:52:21,120
Matilce and Cristante in the middle.

979
00:52:21,120 --> 00:52:25,120
Pellegrini and Zaniola playing off the shoulder of Tammy Abraham.

980
00:52:25,120 --> 00:52:29,120
It was a 3-4-3 for Atalanta with Mussone on goal.

981
00:52:29,120 --> 00:52:31,120
Toloi, Demiral and De'Rune at the back.

982
00:52:31,120 --> 00:52:33,120
Hattabur on the right.

983
00:52:33,120 --> 00:52:36,120
Malle on the left with Kube Miners and Scalvini in the middle.

984
00:52:36,120 --> 00:52:41,120
Pasalic on the right, Ederson on the left and Hoylen up front.

985
00:52:41,120 --> 00:52:44,120
Now, any takeaways from the lineups?

986
00:52:44,120 --> 00:52:50,120
I mean, it's good to see Celic starting ahead of Karsdorp.

987
00:52:50,120 --> 00:52:53,120
I think Karsdorp might be injured though, that's why.

988
00:52:53,120 --> 00:52:54,120
OK.

989
00:52:54,120 --> 00:52:57,120
In fact, he wasn't on the bench I'm seeing over here.

990
00:52:57,120 --> 00:52:59,120
But it's still nice seeing Celic get some minutes.

991
00:52:59,120 --> 00:53:00,120
He's been much better.

992
00:53:00,120 --> 00:53:04,120
He's been much better than Karsdorp this year.

993
00:53:04,120 --> 00:53:10,120
Otherwise, nothing to write home about that Roma side.

994
00:53:10,120 --> 00:53:13,120
Atalanta, obviously, I'm never surprised with anything they do.

995
00:53:13,120 --> 00:53:20,120
So starting Hoylen up front with Pasalic off the shoulder and Ederson off the shoulder.

996
00:53:20,120 --> 00:53:22,120
That doesn't shock me.

997
00:53:22,120 --> 00:53:25,120
I'm shocked by everything, Gasparini.

998
00:53:25,120 --> 00:53:34,120
But they wouldn't exactly be like, OK, it's a 3-4-3, but it's more of a 3-4-2-1.

999
00:53:34,120 --> 00:53:39,120
And Pasalic and Ederson are those two more offensive avenues in midfield.

1000
00:53:39,120 --> 00:53:44,120
With Scalvini and Kube Miners just behind them, a very, very attacking team.

1001
00:53:44,120 --> 00:53:46,120
A very attacking team.

1002
00:53:46,120 --> 00:53:51,120
You're talking Kube Miners as part of your double pivot in midfield alongside Scalvini.

1003
00:53:51,120 --> 00:53:53,120
Then you have Pasalic and Ederson.

1004
00:53:53,120 --> 00:53:55,120
It's a very attacking team.

1005
00:53:55,120 --> 00:54:02,120
But their physical characteristics, these players, are still destructive when it comes to breaking down play.

1006
00:54:02,120 --> 00:54:03,120
They're very capable.

1007
00:54:03,120 --> 00:54:05,120
Yeah, but it's loads of goal scorers.

1008
00:54:05,120 --> 00:54:06,120
Yes, that's true.

1009
00:54:06,120 --> 00:54:07,120
They're very capable.

1010
00:54:07,120 --> 00:54:08,120
Loads of goal scorers.

1011
00:54:08,120 --> 00:54:14,120
The only goal of the game, bro, came in the 35th minute and that was from Scalvini.

1012
00:54:14,120 --> 00:54:15,120
George was Scalvini.

1013
00:54:15,120 --> 00:54:18,120
It was a Rasmus Hoylund assist.

1014
00:54:18,120 --> 00:54:21,120
It was a low-driven shot placed into the bottom corner from outside the area.

1015
00:54:21,120 --> 00:54:23,120
It was a really good finish by Scalvini.

1016
00:54:23,120 --> 00:54:26,120
It's kind of like the Kalula goal, remember, from outside the area.

1017
00:54:26,120 --> 00:54:27,120
Yes, yes, yes.

1018
00:54:27,120 --> 00:54:28,120
Last season.

1019
00:54:28,120 --> 00:54:31,120
Or kind of like Bastoni's trademark goals from outside the area.

1020
00:54:31,120 --> 00:54:34,120
Yeah, in the 57th minute, Mourinho got sent off.

1021
00:54:34,120 --> 00:54:36,120
Of course, you couldn't believe his eyes.

1022
00:54:36,120 --> 00:54:43,120
It must have been extremely frustrating for him because this game was a sequence of failed opportunities by Roma.

1023
00:54:43,120 --> 00:54:45,120
Roma totally dominated this game.

1024
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:47,120
I was surprised they didn't get a single point out.

1025
00:54:47,120 --> 00:54:49,120
They probably deserved three.

1026
00:54:49,120 --> 00:54:52,120
Atalanta played the most Jose Mourinho game.

1027
00:54:52,120 --> 00:54:54,120
You know, they Jose Mourinhoed Jose Mourinho.

1028
00:54:54,120 --> 00:54:55,120
Literally.

1029
00:54:55,120 --> 00:54:58,120
Because like you look at this, they broke down the play so many times.

1030
00:54:58,120 --> 00:55:02,120
Every 20 minutes, they stopped the play and then it became more frequent as the game progressed.

1031
00:55:02,120 --> 00:55:10,120
One, two, three, four, five, six, seven yellow cards for Atalanta compared to Roma's zero.

1032
00:55:10,120 --> 00:55:14,120
They have a red card, of course, that's on their coach.

1033
00:55:14,120 --> 00:55:16,120
But yeah, they broke down the play well, bro.

1034
00:55:16,120 --> 00:55:21,120
They fucking caused a massive upset over here, in my opinion, a few stats.

1035
00:55:21,120 --> 00:55:26,120
So Roma's XG was 2.44.

1036
00:55:26,120 --> 00:55:29,120
Atalanta's was 0.17.

1037
00:55:29,120 --> 00:55:30,120
Fucking hell.

1038
00:55:30,120 --> 00:55:31,120
These are expected goals.

1039
00:55:31,120 --> 00:55:34,120
I know some people don't agree with the philosophy, but it's quite telling in my opinion.

1040
00:55:34,120 --> 00:55:38,120
And the goal that they got was a placed shot from outside the area.

1041
00:55:38,120 --> 00:55:40,120
Against the run of play.

1042
00:55:40,120 --> 00:55:43,120
Placed on a silver platter for them.

1043
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:47,120
I know Zanullo was terrorizing them.

1044
00:55:47,120 --> 00:55:56,120
And he's probably the reason a bunch of those guys were on yellow cards because late on in the match, he was even brought down in the box twice.

1045
00:55:56,120 --> 00:56:00,120
First one, not a penalty.

1046
00:56:00,120 --> 00:56:04,120
Second one, there was contact, man.

1047
00:56:04,120 --> 00:56:07,120
There was contact with the man and there wasn't contact with the ball.

1048
00:56:07,120 --> 00:56:09,120
At least there was contact with the man first.

1049
00:56:09,120 --> 00:56:10,120
Who was who?

1050
00:56:10,120 --> 00:56:13,120
I forgot who it was.

1051
00:56:13,120 --> 00:56:19,120
It's difficult to tell because all their three centre backs were on yellow cards.

1052
00:56:19,120 --> 00:56:24,120
But I recall Zanullo diving relentlessly.

1053
00:56:24,120 --> 00:56:25,120
But there was one.

1054
00:56:25,120 --> 00:56:31,120
And in fact, Mourinho said after the game, he said, just because my player doesn't hit the ground, it doesn't mean it's not a foul.

1055
00:56:31,120 --> 00:56:34,120
It's like, I'm not going to encourage my players to hit the deck.

1056
00:56:34,120 --> 00:56:38,120
He said, I'm going to have to change my entire way of coaching.

1057
00:56:38,120 --> 00:56:43,120
And bro, Zanullo got his shirt tugged in the box twice.

1058
00:56:43,120 --> 00:56:45,120
But he was also pulling the other guy's shirt.

1059
00:56:45,120 --> 00:56:46,120
That's the problem.

1060
00:56:46,120 --> 00:56:48,120
What do you want him to do?

1061
00:56:48,120 --> 00:56:54,120
No, but he might have even the commentator said on both instances that Zanullo was the one who originally fouled the man.

1062
00:56:54,120 --> 00:56:56,120
You know what I mean?

1063
00:56:56,120 --> 00:56:58,120
So their 50-50s are not clear.

1064
00:56:58,120 --> 00:57:02,120
And that's not what you should rely on anyway to win you the game.

1065
00:57:02,120 --> 00:57:06,120
Mourinho said this, in fact, to your point.

1066
00:57:06,120 --> 00:57:15,120
He said, if you have to be a clown, and there are a lot in this league, and dive like you're in a swimming pool, then I need to change the way I'm coaching my team in training.

1067
00:57:15,120 --> 00:57:23,120
Now, it's so funny how he says this when Zanullo looks like he's performing Swan Lake every time he fucking enters the box.

1068
00:57:23,120 --> 00:57:26,120
But the whole point is that he didn't.

1069
00:57:26,120 --> 00:57:28,120
At one point, he definitely did, bro.

1070
00:57:28,120 --> 00:57:31,120
At one point, he fucking dove so badly, bro.

1071
00:57:31,120 --> 00:57:38,120
No, but what Mourinho is referring to there is the fact that Zanullo didn't go down screaming in the box when his shirt was getting tugged.

1072
00:57:38,120 --> 00:57:40,120
On time one instance, yes.

1073
00:57:40,120 --> 00:57:43,120
But the thing is Zanullo is a notorious diver.

1074
00:57:43,120 --> 00:57:44,120
Yeah, it's true.

1075
00:57:44,120 --> 00:57:47,120
Everyone fucking knows his reputation for diving, no?

1076
00:57:47,120 --> 00:57:48,120
That's true.

1077
00:57:48,120 --> 00:57:51,120
Yeah, but basically, bro, last week we said that Atalanta have learned how to win ugly.

1078
00:57:51,120 --> 00:57:57,120
They've transformed into a team that is more mature and more streetwise.

1079
00:57:57,120 --> 00:58:02,120
Here they are again, four shots to Roma's 21 and they go home with all three points.

1080
00:58:02,120 --> 00:58:04,120
It's absolutely crazy.

1081
00:58:04,120 --> 00:58:10,120
Yeah, a very opportunistic display by Atalanta to be able to get away with a victory.

1082
00:58:10,120 --> 00:58:14,120
Like you said, 21 shots to Roma, four shots to Atalanta.

1083
00:58:14,120 --> 00:58:21,120
You'd never imagine that Atalanta would, or any side for that matter, would get away with three points over there.

1084
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:26,120
I might go as far to say that they didn't technically deserve it.

1085
00:58:26,120 --> 00:58:31,120
Not because they didn't do what they had to do, because they did exactly what they had to do.

1086
00:58:31,120 --> 00:58:37,120
But the reason Roma didn't get all three points is solely down to Roma and their end product.

1087
00:58:37,120 --> 00:58:42,120
They can create all the chances in the world if they're not going to put down the back of the net.

1088
00:58:42,120 --> 00:58:44,120
And we've been saying this from day one, bro.

1089
00:58:44,120 --> 00:58:49,120
If they can't put the ball into the back of the net, then it's for nothing.

1090
00:58:49,120 --> 00:58:52,120
Zanullo needs to work on his end product.

1091
00:58:52,120 --> 00:58:57,120
Tammy just seems like sometimes he's off and sometimes he's on.

1092
00:58:57,120 --> 00:59:00,120
And he's been way more off this season.

1093
00:59:00,120 --> 00:59:02,120
He's finishing particularly, right?

1094
00:59:02,120 --> 00:59:05,120
I think it was a mixed bag of a performance for Abraham.

1095
00:59:05,120 --> 00:59:09,120
I thought he held the ball up well and set up his teammates well.

1096
00:59:09,120 --> 00:59:12,120
But then when it came to one-on-ones, it's inexcusable, man.

1097
00:59:12,120 --> 00:59:14,120
Yeah, yeah.

1098
00:59:14,120 --> 00:59:18,120
And that is the case where I would like to see Bellotti more.

1099
00:59:18,120 --> 00:59:25,120
And I think that Bellotti on the break would probably be more effective than Tammy Abraham on the break, for example.

1100
00:59:25,120 --> 00:59:29,120
Just a situation I see it happening more.

1101
00:59:29,120 --> 00:59:31,120
But yeah, that's my take.

1102
00:59:31,120 --> 00:59:33,120
Atalanta didn't exactly deserve to win the game.

1103
00:59:33,120 --> 00:59:38,120
But the reason Roma didn't get the full three points is totally down to them and no one else.

1104
00:59:38,120 --> 00:59:39,120
Yeah, that's it.

1105
00:59:39,120 --> 00:59:41,120
Hats off to Atalanta.

1106
00:59:41,120 --> 00:59:44,120
It seems that every season they come up with like a new player.

1107
00:59:44,120 --> 00:59:49,120
They pick him off the street, like Hoiland up front, you know, Scalvini in the middle.

1108
00:59:49,120 --> 00:59:52,120
These guys starting.

1109
00:59:52,120 --> 00:59:57,120
Pretty nice to see, you know, every single season, new player and then boom, sold for 20 million.

1110
00:59:57,120 --> 00:59:58,120
Sold for 30 million.

1111
00:59:58,120 --> 01:00:04,120
So yeah, nice to see that they've kept their form up, Atalanta.

1112
01:00:04,120 --> 01:00:05,120
Yeah, yeah.

1113
01:00:05,120 --> 01:00:09,120
Now we'll see for how long they can actually keep it up.

1114
01:00:09,120 --> 01:00:13,120
It's a strong start, but it's all about sustainability.

1115
01:00:13,120 --> 01:00:21,120
But I think since they're having such stable performances that doesn't require so much offensive output,

1116
01:00:21,120 --> 01:00:23,120
they are saving their energy.

1117
01:00:23,120 --> 01:00:26,120
They have a very versatile squad, so they'll bring in more players.

1118
01:00:26,120 --> 01:00:33,120
So I don't anticipate that they'll have many, many injuries going forward as a result of the tight schedule and fatigue.

1119
01:00:33,120 --> 01:00:34,120
That's true.

1120
01:00:34,120 --> 01:00:36,120
Atalanta can relax, right?

1121
01:00:36,120 --> 01:00:37,120
They can focus on the league.

1122
01:00:37,120 --> 01:00:38,120
That's all they have to work.

1123
01:00:38,120 --> 01:00:41,120
It's clearly helping.

1124
01:00:41,120 --> 01:00:44,120
Rome, on the other hand, need to start taking their chances.

1125
01:00:44,120 --> 01:00:49,120
But I do believe that the goals will come and the way they're playing, it's inevitable that they're going to start scoring.

1126
01:00:49,120 --> 01:00:51,120
You can't keep missing these chances.

1127
01:00:51,120 --> 01:00:52,120
You can't.

1128
01:00:52,120 --> 01:00:58,120
Eventually, you know, if this keeps happening, I wouldn't be surprised if Balotti outright ventures, Tommy Abraham.

1129
01:00:58,120 --> 01:00:59,120
Yeah, I wouldn't be.

1130
01:00:59,120 --> 01:01:00,120
I wouldn't be surprised with that either.

1131
01:01:00,120 --> 01:01:02,120
Or maybe they can start with two up front.

1132
01:01:02,120 --> 01:01:05,120
They're two strikers that could potentially work pretty well together.

1133
01:01:05,120 --> 01:01:14,120
But with the amount of talent that they have in the attacking midfield region with Zaniolo, Debala, Pellegrini,

1134
01:01:14,120 --> 01:01:20,120
it's very difficult to see them sacrificing one of those to facilitate adding a striker to their arsenal.

1135
01:01:20,120 --> 01:01:26,120
So Tommy is going to need to step it the fuck up or Balotti is going to need to step it the fuck up.

1136
01:01:26,120 --> 01:01:27,120
That's it.

1137
01:01:27,120 --> 01:01:28,120
Osho Moradov.

1138
01:01:28,120 --> 01:01:32,120
Osho Moradov, who, by the way, missed an absolute sitter, man.

1139
01:01:32,120 --> 01:01:34,120
Missed a sitter.

1140
01:01:34,120 --> 01:01:35,120
Yeah.

1141
01:01:35,120 --> 01:01:38,120
Who was the whose chance was the best, you think?

1142
01:01:38,120 --> 01:01:39,120
Probably Osho Moradov, man.

1143
01:01:39,120 --> 01:01:41,120
He had an open goal.

1144
01:01:41,120 --> 01:01:42,120
And he didn't even have a defender on him.

1145
01:01:42,120 --> 01:01:43,120
He didn't even need to jump.

1146
01:01:43,120 --> 01:01:44,120
He saw it late.

1147
01:01:44,120 --> 01:01:45,120
He saw it late.

1148
01:01:45,120 --> 01:01:48,120
Tommy's on the first one was quite bad.

1149
01:01:48,120 --> 01:01:50,120
I think we should have done way better there.

1150
01:01:50,120 --> 01:01:53,120
And the bunny's got the closest, of course, when he hit the crossbar with his head.

1151
01:01:53,120 --> 01:01:54,120
Yeah.

1152
01:01:54,120 --> 01:01:55,120
But that's it.

1153
01:01:55,120 --> 01:01:59,120
I feel ready to move on to the treat, bro.

1154
01:01:59,120 --> 01:02:00,120
Amazing.

1155
01:02:00,120 --> 01:02:02,120
Will you let us know where they are?

1156
01:02:02,120 --> 01:02:03,120
Of course.

1157
01:02:03,120 --> 01:02:10,120
Roma are sixth with 13 points, while Atalanta are second with 17 points.

1158
01:02:10,120 --> 01:02:11,120
Wow.

1159
01:02:11,120 --> 01:02:17,120
The next game we're going to be covering is just hold on one second.

1160
01:02:17,120 --> 01:02:20,120
Monza one, Juve nil.

1161
01:02:20,120 --> 01:02:23,120
Single handedly, the biggest update update.

1162
01:02:23,120 --> 01:02:25,120
The biggest upset.

1163
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:27,120
The new hours.

1164
01:02:27,120 --> 01:02:28,120
This week.

1165
01:02:28,120 --> 01:02:29,120
Yep.

1166
01:02:29,120 --> 01:02:31,120
Monza were coming off.

1167
01:02:31,120 --> 01:02:37,120
One, one away draw to Lecce, which was actually their first point that they had received and

1168
01:02:37,120 --> 01:02:43,120
shortly followed by this match, which was their first win in Serie A history ever for

1169
01:02:43,120 --> 01:02:44,120
them.

1170
01:02:44,120 --> 01:02:50,120
And it came under their caretaker manager and much like Bologna under their caretaker

1171
01:02:50,120 --> 01:02:54,120
manager, they managed to get their first win of the season.

1172
01:02:54,120 --> 01:03:00,120
You were coming off a two, two home draw to Salernitana and a two, one home loss to Benfica.

1173
01:03:00,120 --> 01:03:04,120
They're now on two wins, one loss and four draws.

1174
01:03:04,120 --> 01:03:07,120
But yeah, let's go through the lineups.

1175
01:03:07,120 --> 01:03:12,120
Monza lined up with a three, four to one formation with the Gregorio on goal and the back line

1176
01:03:12,120 --> 01:03:14,120
of Itzo, Mari and Santos.

1177
01:03:14,120 --> 01:03:20,120
Augusto and Ciurra were the two wing backs with Sensi and Trofella and holding with field

1178
01:03:20,120 --> 01:03:21,120
draws.

1179
01:03:21,120 --> 01:03:27,120
And Caprari, Pessina on the wings with Mota just ahead of them.

1180
01:03:27,120 --> 01:03:34,120
Juve lined up now for three, three with Perin in goal, Desilio, Gatti, Bremer and Danilo

1181
01:03:34,120 --> 01:03:35,120
forming the back line.

1182
01:03:35,120 --> 01:03:40,120
McKennie, Paredes and Miretti in the midfield with Di Maria, Vlaović and Kostić forming

1183
01:03:40,120 --> 01:03:43,120
the front line.

1184
01:03:43,120 --> 01:03:48,120
Any takeaways from these lineups or pretty much all as expected?

1185
01:03:48,120 --> 01:03:49,120
About the lineups, no.

1186
01:03:49,120 --> 01:03:51,120
About the game, fuck that.

1187
01:03:51,120 --> 01:03:55,120
So let's get straight into it.

1188
01:03:55,120 --> 01:04:00,120
So Monza's starting to think there was any point in the game that Monza and Monza want

1189
01:04:00,120 --> 01:04:04,440
to get that clear out there because I'm about to say something and people will use this

1190
01:04:04,440 --> 01:04:07,120
as an excuse as to why Juve lost the game.

1191
01:04:07,120 --> 01:04:13,120
In the 40th minute, Di Maria elbowed Itzo in the chest because Itzo pulled his shirt

1192
01:04:13,120 --> 01:04:14,120
a little bit.

1193
01:04:14,120 --> 01:04:17,120
He got a straight-thread card for that.

1194
01:04:17,120 --> 01:04:24,120
Really, really, really dumb fucking move by Di Maria, especially with Juve's lack of resources

1195
01:04:24,120 --> 01:04:29,120
at the moment and their lack of points, they could have really used them to try to squeeze

1196
01:04:29,120 --> 01:04:31,120
something out of Monza.

1197
01:04:31,120 --> 01:04:35,120
There are some players that can have all the experience in the world and still act out

1198
01:04:35,120 --> 01:04:42,120
of emotion and just maybe Di Maria is one of those guys.

1199
01:04:42,120 --> 01:04:46,120
They needed his creativity and he did that.

1200
01:04:46,120 --> 01:04:49,120
40 minutes in and he does that.

1201
01:04:49,120 --> 01:04:54,120
The reason I pushed for us to bet on this game was because of the return of Di Maria.

1202
01:04:54,120 --> 01:04:59,120
I really thought he could do some damage over here, but he really let us down.

1203
01:04:59,120 --> 01:05:03,120
He's done some serious damage, almost broke Itzo's rib.

1204
01:05:03,120 --> 01:05:10,120
It was from the get-go though, prior to this moment, Monza had 56.4% position.

1205
01:05:10,120 --> 01:05:11,120
That's crazy.

1206
01:05:11,120 --> 01:05:16,120
That's why I wanted to make it clear that Monza were better when Juve had 11 men as

1207
01:05:16,120 --> 01:05:17,120
well.

1208
01:05:17,120 --> 01:05:19,120
Juve were playing counter-attacking football.

1209
01:05:19,120 --> 01:05:21,120
Do not get it twisted.

1210
01:05:21,120 --> 01:05:23,120
Monza controlled it.

1211
01:05:23,120 --> 01:05:24,120
Monza controlled it.

1212
01:05:24,120 --> 01:05:28,120
It was then in the 74th minute where Ciurra had the ball out wide.

1213
01:05:28,120 --> 01:05:32,120
He had an in-swinging cross to the near post.

1214
01:05:32,120 --> 01:05:37,120
Gitkiere managed to get ahead of Gatti, sliding in to put the ball past Perin.

1215
01:05:37,120 --> 01:05:42,120
There was a lack of pressure by Kostić on Ciurra, which allowed him to deliver the cross

1216
01:05:42,120 --> 01:05:47,120
with no pressure whatsoever.

1217
01:05:47,120 --> 01:05:50,120
Monza win the game 1-0.

1218
01:05:50,120 --> 01:05:54,120
Absolutely unreal for them.

1219
01:05:54,120 --> 01:06:02,120
Their first win in Serie A ever and it's under their caretaker manager, Raffaele Palladino,

1220
01:06:02,120 --> 01:06:07,120
who might actually stick around after that, but we'll wait and see.

1221
01:06:07,120 --> 01:06:11,120
Gagliani compared him to Saki.

1222
01:06:11,120 --> 01:06:12,120
Relax.

1223
01:06:12,120 --> 01:06:13,120
I know, right?

1224
01:06:13,120 --> 01:06:18,120
As in to the point that when he brought Saki in, apparently he was a nobody.

1225
01:06:18,120 --> 01:06:20,120
He wasn't proven yet.

1226
01:06:20,120 --> 01:06:24,120
Raffaele Palladino is a former Juventus player, so this is kind of written in the stars as

1227
01:06:24,120 --> 01:06:28,120
a start to get Monza their first ever victory against Juventus.

1228
01:06:28,120 --> 01:06:33,120
I think it would be unwise for them to not go for Claudio Ranieri though.

1229
01:06:33,120 --> 01:06:37,120
I would really buy Winberg and Scolini and Gagliani and now just push for Ranieri.

1230
01:06:37,120 --> 01:06:41,120
It doesn't mean they're going to get rid of Palladino.

1231
01:06:41,120 --> 01:06:45,120
He's still going to be involved in the team.

1232
01:06:45,120 --> 01:06:48,120
They should bring in someone like Ranieri.

1233
01:06:48,120 --> 01:06:50,120
He's a man that has a style of play.

1234
01:06:50,120 --> 01:06:54,120
He can really give Monza a sense of identity about them.

1235
01:06:54,120 --> 01:06:58,120
I think Ranieri would be the way to go, very experienced as well.

1236
01:06:58,120 --> 01:06:59,120
We'll see.

1237
01:06:59,120 --> 01:07:01,120
It's always interesting with these young managers.

1238
01:07:01,120 --> 01:07:03,120
Let's see if they make the strut ball mistake twice.

1239
01:07:03,120 --> 01:07:04,120
Exactly.

1240
01:07:04,120 --> 01:07:06,120
Monza had 60% ball possession.

1241
01:07:06,120 --> 01:07:10,120
They had 17 goal attempts, four of those on target.

1242
01:07:10,120 --> 01:07:12,120
They had nine off target.

1243
01:07:12,120 --> 01:07:14,120
They had 17 free kicks.

1244
01:07:14,120 --> 01:07:15,120
They had five corners.

1245
01:07:15,120 --> 01:07:20,120
They were in offside position six times because they were so eager to go forward.

1246
01:07:20,120 --> 01:07:24,120
They had 534 total passes to Juve's 333.

1247
01:07:24,120 --> 01:07:25,120
Do not get it twisted.

1248
01:07:25,120 --> 01:07:27,120
Monza dominated this game.

1249
01:07:27,120 --> 01:07:32,120
60% ball possession and 17 goal attempts against Juve is unheard of.

1250
01:07:32,120 --> 01:07:35,120
They were in full control.

1251
01:07:35,120 --> 01:07:41,120
It was a good performance by Monza, but it was encouraged by Juve.

1252
01:07:41,120 --> 01:07:46,120
Juve did nothing in this game but encouraged Monza to play their game.

1253
01:07:46,120 --> 01:07:47,120
Yes, attack us.

1254
01:07:47,120 --> 01:07:49,120
Come forward.

1255
01:07:49,120 --> 01:07:51,120
Maybe you won't get a goal.

1256
01:07:51,120 --> 01:07:53,120
Here's a fucking red card.

1257
01:07:53,120 --> 01:07:54,120
Attack us some more, please.

1258
01:07:54,120 --> 01:07:55,120
Attack us some more, please.

1259
01:07:55,120 --> 01:07:57,120
We're going to sit back a little bit.

1260
01:07:57,120 --> 01:08:00,120
And we're going to lose our shape a little bit.

1261
01:08:00,120 --> 01:08:01,120
Good luck.

1262
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:05,120
Change the ball around and see what you can do.

1263
01:08:05,120 --> 01:08:07,120
Dreadful performance by Juve.

1264
01:08:07,120 --> 01:08:08,120
Monza won.

1265
01:08:08,120 --> 01:08:13,120
Sure, they were good, but because Juve encouraged them to.

1266
01:08:13,120 --> 01:08:15,120
What are your takes on the game?

1267
01:08:15,120 --> 01:08:20,120
They totally set themselves up for failure over here.

1268
01:08:20,120 --> 01:08:24,120
Playing against Monza on the counter doesn't make any sense,

1269
01:08:24,120 --> 01:08:28,120
especially when you have your most experienced player who's meant to be the game coach.

1270
01:08:28,120 --> 01:08:31,120
Especially when you have your most experienced player who's meant to be the game changer,

1271
01:08:31,120 --> 01:08:36,120
getting a red card in such an impulsive, stupid, hot-headed way.

1272
01:08:36,120 --> 01:08:39,120
It just goes to show that things are not looking good for them.

1273
01:08:39,120 --> 01:08:41,120
Fortunately, they have a way out.

1274
01:08:41,120 --> 01:08:42,120
No, they can sack the coach.

1275
01:08:42,120 --> 01:08:43,120
No, wrong.

1276
01:08:43,120 --> 01:08:46,120
Allegri signed a five-year contract.

1277
01:08:46,120 --> 01:08:48,120
I believe he's on his third year now.

1278
01:08:48,120 --> 01:08:51,120
He has two more years left, which is mental.

1279
01:08:51,120 --> 01:08:54,120
To give a coach a five-year contract is crazy.

1280
01:08:54,120 --> 01:09:00,120
Apparently, they would have to pay him up to 36 million gross,

1281
01:09:00,120 --> 01:09:04,120
according to Corriere de la Serra, if they were to sack him.

1282
01:09:04,120 --> 01:09:08,120
It would be the equivalent of signing a good player,

1283
01:09:08,120 --> 01:09:10,120
which I don't think they have the funds to do.

1284
01:09:10,120 --> 01:09:11,120
They're kind of fucked right now.

1285
01:09:11,120 --> 01:09:13,120
They're stuck in a bit of a predicament.

1286
01:09:13,120 --> 01:09:16,120
Plus, Anjeli's pride, you know?

1287
01:09:16,120 --> 01:09:23,120
Because Anjeli doesn't want to make it look or show that he's made a mistake rehiring Allegri.

1288
01:09:23,120 --> 01:09:26,120
So I think it would hold on to him for a little bit longer.

1289
01:09:26,120 --> 01:09:28,120
But how much more of this can Juve fans take?

1290
01:09:28,120 --> 01:09:30,120
We're seeing them melt down.

1291
01:09:30,120 --> 01:09:31,120
I mean, it's not looking good.

1292
01:09:31,120 --> 01:09:35,120
Di Maria is missing the Milan game because he got a two-match ban.

1293
01:09:35,120 --> 01:09:38,120
Allegri keeps making scapegoats and excuses.

1294
01:09:38,120 --> 01:09:40,120
This is a virtual Juventus.

1295
01:09:40,120 --> 01:09:42,120
Take away five starters from Milan or Inter.

1296
01:09:42,120 --> 01:09:43,120
We'll see if they struggle.

1297
01:09:43,120 --> 01:09:47,120
You take away five starters from Milan and they win the league, my friend.

1298
01:09:47,120 --> 01:09:51,120
Brother, have you watched a game last season, Allegri,

1299
01:09:51,120 --> 01:09:57,120
with the African Cup of Nations losing your two starting central midfielders in Kessi and Ben Nasser,

1300
01:09:57,120 --> 01:10:02,120
having only Giroud up front because Zlatan constantly injured?

1301
01:10:02,120 --> 01:10:08,120
No, last year during their stretch, Koulibaly and Ozymen, and they still went on to do well.

1302
01:10:08,120 --> 01:10:11,120
Shut the fuck up, Allegri.

1303
01:10:11,120 --> 01:10:12,120
It's ridiculous.

1304
01:10:12,120 --> 01:10:17,120
And the more he speaks, the more he's digging his own grave

1305
01:10:17,120 --> 01:10:20,120
because he's making these really simplistic analogies.

1306
01:10:20,120 --> 01:10:25,120
That makes me think this guy is living not in the early 2000s, not in the 90s, not in the 80s,

1307
01:10:25,120 --> 01:10:28,120
living in the fucking 60s, man.

1308
01:10:28,120 --> 01:10:30,120
His mentality is you need to...

1309
01:10:30,120 --> 01:10:34,120
It's a very simple game. You need to pass the ball.

1310
01:10:34,120 --> 01:10:40,120
You need so many things to win a game of football this year.

1311
01:10:40,120 --> 01:10:42,120
You've got the first case in point.

1312
01:10:42,120 --> 01:10:47,120
They need to improve so many avenues if they're going to want to start winning games

1313
01:10:47,120 --> 01:10:50,120
because they've got nothing to their arsenal.

1314
01:10:50,120 --> 01:10:51,120
Nothing to their arsenal.

1315
01:10:51,120 --> 01:10:57,120
They've got a world class striker up front, world class defender at the back,

1316
01:10:57,120 --> 01:11:01,120
and they have a very talented young midfielder in Miretti in the middle.

1317
01:11:01,120 --> 01:11:03,120
Tell me what else they have going for them right now.

1318
01:11:03,120 --> 01:11:07,120
They better turn things around or these values are going to start depreciating

1319
01:11:07,120 --> 01:11:09,120
and everything's going to look terrible for them.

1320
01:11:09,120 --> 01:11:11,120
They're on the brink of crisis right now.

1321
01:11:11,120 --> 01:11:15,120
And even their wage structure isn't the best.

1322
01:11:15,120 --> 01:11:18,120
If you look at the five highest or the ten highest turners in the league,

1323
01:11:18,120 --> 01:11:19,120
how many of them are youvas?

1324
01:11:19,120 --> 01:11:21,120
The vast majority of them.

1325
01:11:21,120 --> 01:11:25,120
And if your wage structure looks like that, you best get Champions League

1326
01:11:25,120 --> 01:11:26,120
because you need that money.

1327
01:11:26,120 --> 01:11:28,120
Especially if it looks like that, you best...

1328
01:11:28,120 --> 01:11:30,120
You went to Skurva because there isn't enough going on,

1329
01:11:30,120 --> 01:11:34,120
decided to put a banner up against Bonocci.

1330
01:11:34,120 --> 01:11:39,120
You are not a leader either at AC Milan or here. You will never be.

1331
01:11:39,120 --> 01:11:40,120
Oh my God.

1332
01:11:40,120 --> 01:11:41,120
I know.

1333
01:11:41,120 --> 01:11:42,120
When did that happen?

1334
01:11:42,120 --> 01:11:48,120
I guess when he left to Milan, of course, he burnt a few bridges there.

1335
01:11:48,120 --> 01:11:50,120
Maybe. You still have the T-shirt, you know.

1336
01:11:50,120 --> 01:11:52,120
I still have the T-shirt with Bonocci.

1337
01:11:52,120 --> 01:11:55,120
And to be honest, I'll never get rid of it because that was one of the most

1338
01:11:55,120 --> 01:11:58,120
gassed moments of my life when Bonocci joined Milan.

1339
01:11:58,120 --> 01:11:59,120
It was a fever dream.

1340
01:11:59,120 --> 01:12:01,120
Because youva were so dominant back then, you know,

1341
01:12:01,120 --> 01:12:04,120
just taking their best defender at the time was so much fun.

1342
01:12:04,120 --> 01:12:08,120
He had six months with Milan when he was awful.

1343
01:12:08,120 --> 01:12:10,120
And then he had like the remaining however months,

1344
01:12:10,120 --> 01:12:13,120
three, four months where he was decent, man.

1345
01:12:13,120 --> 01:12:17,120
But yeah, that's fucking passing.

1346
01:12:17,120 --> 01:12:20,120
Passing, their passes are made in their own half.

1347
01:12:20,120 --> 01:12:24,120
There's absolutely nothing exciting about watching them right now.

1348
01:12:24,120 --> 01:12:28,120
On the other hand, Monza, let's show them some credit

1349
01:12:28,120 --> 01:12:31,120
because they did manage to get their first three points of the season

1350
01:12:31,120 --> 01:12:33,120
and their first three points ever.

1351
01:12:33,120 --> 01:12:37,120
They are showing improvements in every single game that they're playing.

1352
01:12:37,120 --> 01:12:39,120
You could tell they're a little bit more fluid.

1353
01:12:39,120 --> 01:12:42,120
You could tell Caprari is getting a little bit more into it.

1354
01:12:42,120 --> 01:12:46,120
And other players, you could tell that Sensi is picking it up as well.

1355
01:12:46,120 --> 01:12:48,120
So it's a good performance by them.

1356
01:12:48,120 --> 01:12:52,120
I've just heard that they've terminated Andrea Ranocchia's contract.

1357
01:12:52,120 --> 01:12:56,120
It's quite surprising, but he hasn't really hit the ground running.

1358
01:12:56,120 --> 01:12:57,120
He must have been terrible.

1359
01:12:57,120 --> 01:13:01,120
Hey, man, I haven't seen much of him, if I'm being honest.

1360
01:13:01,120 --> 01:13:03,120
He hasn't played much, to be fair.

1361
01:13:03,120 --> 01:13:08,120
But he must have been fucking terrible in training as well.

1362
01:13:08,120 --> 01:13:11,120
Petanja must have been spinning him every other game.

1363
01:13:11,120 --> 01:13:14,120
But anyway, last week after the sacking of Strappa, Berlusconi

1364
01:13:14,120 --> 01:13:16,120
takes Monza tactically himself.

1365
01:13:16,120 --> 01:13:18,120
After this victory, he took all the credit.

1366
01:13:18,120 --> 01:13:20,120
He was like, the module works.

1367
01:13:20,120 --> 01:13:25,120
He even posted a video of himself holding a Monza shirt with Berlusconi 1 on it.

1368
01:13:25,120 --> 01:13:28,120
Isn't Berlusconi just peak narcissism?

1369
01:13:28,120 --> 01:13:33,120
He's celebrating a beautiful victory, holding his own name up.

1370
01:13:33,120 --> 01:13:44,120
The man's been in power of something for probably most of his life at this point.

1371
01:13:44,120 --> 01:13:48,120
But you need a couple of characters like him in the league

1372
01:13:48,120 --> 01:13:51,120
because it just simply makes it more entertaining.

1373
01:13:51,120 --> 01:13:52,120
That's shit house, Rui.

1374
01:13:52,120 --> 01:13:55,120
And no matter what he does, Pato still fucked his daughter.

1375
01:13:55,120 --> 01:13:58,120
He could do whatever the fuck he wants.

1376
01:13:58,120 --> 01:14:00,120
Pato fucked his daughter.

1377
01:14:00,120 --> 01:14:03,120
Then he fucked with your son's victory.

1378
01:14:03,120 --> 01:14:04,120
Pato fucked your daughter.

1379
01:14:04,120 --> 01:14:08,120
Did he marry her?

1380
01:14:08,120 --> 01:14:09,120
He did marry her, yes.

1381
01:14:09,120 --> 01:14:11,120
Pato divorced your daughter as well.

1382
01:14:11,120 --> 01:14:14,120
Pato fucked and divorced your daughter.

1383
01:14:14,120 --> 01:14:18,120
You are in eighth on ten points.

1384
01:14:18,120 --> 01:14:20,120
You're already seven points behind first.

1385
01:14:20,120 --> 01:14:23,120
Monza are now in eighteenth.

1386
01:14:23,120 --> 01:14:26,120
Four points, one point away from safety.

1387
01:14:26,120 --> 01:14:32,120
And safety is Verona and above them is Bologna.

1388
01:14:32,120 --> 01:14:37,120
So we're seeing a couple of good teams down at the bottom.

1389
01:14:37,120 --> 01:14:39,120
Sampdoria at dead last.

1390
01:14:39,120 --> 01:14:42,120
Verona, Bologna on sixteenth and seventeenth.

1391
01:14:42,120 --> 01:14:44,120
It's exciting stuff.

1392
01:14:44,120 --> 01:14:46,120
Over to you, my dude.

1393
01:14:46,120 --> 01:14:50,120
Cremona is at nil, Lazio four.

1394
01:14:50,120 --> 01:14:52,120
And it should have probably been more.

1395
01:14:52,120 --> 01:14:53,120
Probably.

1396
01:14:53,120 --> 01:15:00,120
Cremona and Lazio faced each other for the first time since March 24th, 1996.

1397
01:15:00,120 --> 01:15:02,120
The last time they played was in Cremona.

1398
01:15:02,120 --> 01:15:04,120
One-two-one by Cremona.

1399
01:15:04,120 --> 01:15:08,120
With a 10-20 brace and a Negro goal.

1400
01:15:08,120 --> 01:15:10,120
Do not cancel me.

1401
01:15:10,120 --> 01:15:13,120
Cremona have won four Serie A matches against Lazio.

1402
01:15:13,120 --> 01:15:15,120
They've drawn three and lost eight.

1403
01:15:15,120 --> 01:15:19,120
Against no opponent have they claimed more victories in the competition.

1404
01:15:19,120 --> 01:15:24,120
So Lazio, no Cremona are Lazio's dark horses historically.

1405
01:15:24,120 --> 01:15:26,120
That's hilarious.

1406
01:15:26,120 --> 01:15:27,120
Yeah, different time.

1407
01:15:27,120 --> 01:15:28,120
That's brilliant.

1408
01:15:28,120 --> 01:15:29,120
Let's get into the line.

1409
01:15:29,120 --> 01:15:30,120
Let's get in.

1410
01:15:30,120 --> 01:15:34,120
Lazio in goal, Hisa and Marasic out wide.

1411
01:15:34,120 --> 01:15:36,120
Patrick and Crasale.

1412
01:15:36,120 --> 01:15:38,120
Crasale always fuck up his name.

1413
01:15:38,120 --> 01:15:39,120
Crasale at the back.

1414
01:15:39,120 --> 01:15:42,120
Milinkovic-Savic, Cataldi and Vecino in the middle.

1415
01:15:42,120 --> 01:15:46,120
With Anderson on the right, Zaccani on the left and the Mobila up front.

1416
01:15:46,120 --> 01:15:47,120
God bless me.

1417
01:15:47,120 --> 01:15:50,120
Finally you get to experience this.

1418
01:15:50,120 --> 01:15:52,120
Let's see how smoothly I can do this.

1419
01:15:52,120 --> 01:15:54,120
Radu in goal for Cremona.

1420
01:15:54,120 --> 01:15:56,120
With Lacrofts-Villy at the back.

1421
01:15:56,120 --> 01:15:58,120
Kirikes and Aiwou.

1422
01:15:58,120 --> 01:15:59,120
Valeri on the left.

1423
01:15:59,120 --> 01:16:00,120
Sernicola on the right.

1424
01:16:00,120 --> 01:16:02,120
Mete and Escalante in the middle.

1425
01:16:02,120 --> 01:16:05,120
Zanimakia on the attacking midfield road.

1426
01:16:05,120 --> 01:16:08,120
Okereka up front alongside Dezers.

1427
01:16:08,120 --> 01:16:12,120
That wasn't bad, but there's also a lot of names.

1428
01:16:12,120 --> 01:16:16,120
Yeah, because they brought the Mete, the other midfielders.

1429
01:16:16,120 --> 01:16:18,120
There's no Azcaki boy.

1430
01:16:18,120 --> 01:16:20,120
Azcaki boy.

1431
01:16:20,120 --> 01:16:23,120
But yes, line-up straight forward.

1432
01:16:23,120 --> 01:16:26,120
What was to be expected from these two sides.

1433
01:16:26,120 --> 01:16:30,120
Luis Alberto once again being on the bench, funnily enough.

1434
01:16:30,120 --> 01:16:35,120
But yes, it all started in the seventh minute.

1435
01:16:35,120 --> 01:16:39,120
Where Sergei Milinkovic-Savic played a clever ball through to a Mobila

1436
01:16:39,120 --> 01:16:44,120
who took his trademark touch and executed clinically 1-0.

1437
01:16:44,120 --> 01:16:47,120
The 21st minute was a Mobila again.

1438
01:16:47,120 --> 01:16:50,120
The arms of Lacrofts-Villy, or how do you pronounce his name,

1439
01:16:50,120 --> 01:16:54,120
were in an unnatural position in the box as the ball hit his hand.

1440
01:16:54,120 --> 01:16:57,120
Avar review quickly prompted the referee to point to the spot.

1441
01:16:57,120 --> 01:16:59,120
Mobila sent rather the wrong way.

1442
01:16:59,120 --> 01:17:02,120
2-0 for Lazio in 20 minutes.

1443
01:17:02,120 --> 01:17:11,120
In the 46th minute in the first half, Milinkovic-Savic made a 3-0 after a Rado blunder.

1444
01:17:11,120 --> 01:17:14,120
He basically gave the ball away.

1445
01:17:14,120 --> 01:17:19,120
Eventually it led to Sergei Milinkovic-Savic rolling the ball into an empty net

1446
01:17:19,120 --> 01:17:21,120
and he celebrated using a dummy.

1447
01:17:21,120 --> 01:17:25,120
He put a dummy in his mouth and sucked it in front of the camera.

1448
01:17:25,120 --> 01:17:28,120
And later on in the second half there was a Valerio bicycle kick

1449
01:17:28,120 --> 01:17:31,120
which was probably Cromanez's highlight of the match.

1450
01:17:31,120 --> 01:17:36,120
In the 79th minute, Mobila squared it to Pedro after having a few selfish moments himself

1451
01:17:36,120 --> 01:17:39,120
to get his hat-trick ignoring Pedro out wide.

1452
01:17:39,120 --> 01:17:42,120
This time he played it to him, Pedro found himself one on one.

1453
01:17:42,120 --> 01:17:44,120
He was never going to miss, he curled it around the keeper.

1454
01:17:44,120 --> 01:17:47,120
Easy 4-0 victory for Lazio.

1455
01:17:47,120 --> 01:17:54,120
I can never understand how Lazio get trashed by Mitaland in Europe

1456
01:17:54,120 --> 01:17:59,120
and then come back to Italy and just win 4-0 away to Cremona like it's nothing.

1457
01:17:59,120 --> 01:18:01,120
I guess maybe we know where their priorities lie.

1458
01:18:01,120 --> 01:18:02,120
That's it, eh?

1459
01:18:02,120 --> 01:18:04,120
Maybe they don't give a shit about the Europa League.

1460
01:18:04,120 --> 01:18:07,120
Quite potentially they don't exert themselves, right?

1461
01:18:07,120 --> 01:18:09,120
But Sarri is a winner in Europe.

1462
01:18:09,120 --> 01:18:12,120
Sarri did it with Chelsea.

1463
01:18:12,120 --> 01:18:14,120
He had won the Europa League with Chelsea.

1464
01:18:14,120 --> 01:18:20,120
And we've been seeing Italian teams show a lot of importance to even the Conference League.

1465
01:18:20,120 --> 01:18:23,120
We saw Mourinho win it with Roma last year.

1466
01:18:23,120 --> 01:18:32,120
So he'd probably be itching for a trophy in Europe as well and to advance in Europe.

1467
01:18:32,120 --> 01:18:37,120
But at the end of the day, I just think Mitaland must be a tricky team to play, bro.

1468
01:18:37,120 --> 01:18:40,120
They fucking fucked up Roma as well last year.

1469
01:18:40,120 --> 01:18:46,120
So to be honest, yeah, Mitaland are great, man.

1470
01:18:46,120 --> 01:18:50,120
I'm not going to say Lazio should have beat them or anything like that.

1471
01:18:50,120 --> 01:18:52,120
They're apparently seventh in the Danish Super.

1472
01:18:52,120 --> 01:18:54,120
What the hell, man?

1473
01:18:54,120 --> 01:19:00,120
I wish they could just come into Sarri and we'll see what they can do over there

1474
01:19:00,120 --> 01:19:03,120
because they're better than the Roman teams, apparently.

1475
01:19:03,120 --> 01:19:06,120
Yeah, it is. It's truly bizarre.

1476
01:19:06,120 --> 01:19:08,120
But anyway, Lazio domestically are a different animal.

1477
01:19:08,120 --> 01:19:10,120
They do destroy the teams lower than that.

1478
01:19:10,120 --> 01:19:13,120
And this is where Mobil is stat bad most of his goals.

1479
01:19:13,120 --> 01:19:14,120
Yeah, yeah.

1480
01:19:14,120 --> 01:19:19,120
It's important to get plus four goals in a game like this.

1481
01:19:19,120 --> 01:19:21,120
Mobil was very wasteful at his game as well.

1482
01:19:21,120 --> 01:19:23,120
Granted, he was clinical in the first moments where it really counted.

1483
01:19:23,120 --> 01:19:26,120
But then for his hat trick, he missed an empty net.

1484
01:19:26,120 --> 01:19:28,120
So over you can just game in there.

1485
01:19:28,120 --> 01:19:31,120
Exactly. I think Cremoneza panicked here.

1486
01:19:31,120 --> 01:19:35,120
Kyriakos was subbed off early as well because he was absolutely terrible.

1487
01:19:35,120 --> 01:19:38,120
There were Radoo blunders. You know what I mean?

1488
01:19:38,120 --> 01:19:42,120
It was a they panicked, I think they conceded early in the seventh minute

1489
01:19:42,120 --> 01:19:44,120
and they just completely collapsed.

1490
01:19:44,120 --> 01:19:49,120
Bro, when did Cremoneza, so I didn't watch this game, right?

1491
01:19:49,120 --> 01:19:54,120
Seeing here, Cremoneza had more shots than Lazio.

1492
01:19:54,120 --> 01:19:56,120
18 shots to 14.

1493
01:19:56,120 --> 01:19:58,120
Yes, but not many of them were on target.

1494
01:19:58,120 --> 01:20:00,120
They were just long distance attempts.

1495
01:20:00,120 --> 01:20:03,120
Yeah, that four, I mean, four on target isn't isn't bad.

1496
01:20:03,120 --> 01:20:06,120
Lazio had six. That's interesting to see.

1497
01:20:06,120 --> 01:20:09,120
Yeah, it's true. They did shoot a lot, Cremoneza,

1498
01:20:09,120 --> 01:20:13,120
but overall the tempo was very much dictated by Lazio.

1499
01:20:13,120 --> 01:20:17,120
No, I have no doubt that Lazio dominated the game.

1500
01:20:17,120 --> 01:20:21,120
But it's a show that Cremoneza weren't, you know,

1501
01:20:21,120 --> 01:20:25,120
playing defensively against Lazio to try not to make this a spanking.

1502
01:20:25,120 --> 01:20:29,120
It seemed like they they went out and actually tried to do something

1503
01:20:29,120 --> 01:20:32,120
to maybe get points or to get back into the game.

1504
01:20:32,120 --> 01:20:35,120
Ten of their shots came when they were 3-0 down,

1505
01:20:35,120 --> 01:20:37,120
when they were already 3-0 down.

1506
01:20:37,120 --> 01:20:39,120
OK, well.

1507
01:20:39,120 --> 01:20:44,120
So yeah, they didn't start off very well and they paid for it, quite frankly.

1508
01:20:44,120 --> 01:20:46,120
Yeah, yeah.

1509
01:20:46,120 --> 01:20:48,120
Poor Alvini, right? I feel bad for him.

1510
01:20:48,120 --> 01:20:50,120
Yeah, well.

1511
01:20:50,120 --> 01:20:52,120
Our new best friend.

1512
01:20:52,120 --> 01:20:56,120
He's going to have a lot of these moments, I'm afraid, as Cremoneza as a manager.

1513
01:20:56,120 --> 01:21:00,120
Do you think there's any hope for Cremoneza to survive?

1514
01:21:00,120 --> 01:21:02,120
I mean, it's still incredibly early.

1515
01:21:02,120 --> 01:21:06,120
It is incredibly early, but from what you've seen so far, do you think they can survive?

1516
01:21:06,120 --> 01:21:10,120
I think they're one of the teams that I can.

1517
01:21:10,120 --> 01:21:14,120
They're the only team I'm confident will go down.

1518
01:21:14,120 --> 01:21:21,120
Yes, they're probably destined for relegation.

1519
01:21:21,120 --> 01:21:26,120
They're definitely the worst out of the promoted three.

1520
01:21:26,120 --> 01:21:30,120
Until last week, the worst was probably Monza.

1521
01:21:30,120 --> 01:21:34,120
But even then, Monza look a bit better on the ball than Cremoneza.

1522
01:21:34,120 --> 01:21:37,120
And that was obvious just by looking at the lineup that they're in.

1523
01:21:37,120 --> 01:21:38,120
Exactly.

1524
01:21:38,120 --> 01:21:39,120
As the season progresses.

1525
01:21:39,120 --> 01:21:42,120
Yeah, I'd put my money on it.

1526
01:21:42,120 --> 01:21:47,120
It won't happen that I put my money.

1527
01:21:47,120 --> 01:21:52,120
Yeah, probably Cremoneza are down, they're down bad.

1528
01:21:52,120 --> 01:21:56,120
But anyway, we saw another classic case of SMS to Immobile.

1529
01:21:56,120 --> 01:21:58,120
We've got the Lazio classic over here.

1530
01:21:58,120 --> 01:22:00,120
No more to say about this one.

1531
01:22:00,120 --> 01:22:05,120
Lazio in fourth with 14 points, Cremoneza in 19th with two points.

1532
01:22:05,120 --> 01:22:10,120
The next game we're going to be covering is Fiorentina 2-0 Verona.

1533
01:22:10,120 --> 01:22:19,120
So Fiorentina are coming off a 2-1 loss to Bologna and a 3-0 loss to Istanbul, Basaksehir.

1534
01:22:19,120 --> 01:22:22,120
Verona on the other hand coming off a 2-0 loss to Lazio.

1535
01:22:22,120 --> 01:22:26,120
They're currently on one win four losses three draws, which is very concerning.

1536
01:22:26,120 --> 01:22:30,120
Fiorentina on the other hand, two wins two losses three draws.

1537
01:22:30,120 --> 01:22:32,120
Not the best either.

1538
01:22:32,120 --> 01:22:38,120
Fiorentina's lineup, Terracciano on goal with Biragi, Ranieri, Martín, Esquartá and Venuti.

1539
01:22:38,120 --> 01:22:44,120
At the back, Mandragora and Amrabat in that double pivot with Sotil and Jonathan Iconi out wide.

1540
01:22:44,120 --> 01:22:48,120
Barak in the attacking with Fildrola and Kwame up front.

1541
01:22:48,120 --> 01:22:51,120
For Verona, it was a 3-4-1-2.

1542
01:22:51,120 --> 01:22:55,120
Montepo in goal with Hien, Gunther and Coppola at the back.

1543
01:22:55,120 --> 01:22:59,120
De Pauli and Lazovic out wide with Tamiz, Illich and Hrstic in the middle.

1544
01:22:59,120 --> 01:23:03,120
Henry and Lasagna up front.

1545
01:23:03,120 --> 01:23:07,120
Pretty much what we expect to see over here from both sides.

1546
01:23:07,120 --> 01:23:12,120
Except for obviously Kwame up front for Fiorentina.

1547
01:23:12,120 --> 01:23:15,120
Quite a weird flex over there.

1548
01:23:15,120 --> 01:23:22,120
So Iconi opened the scoring in the 13th minute with a Prime-Ariane-Robin goal.

1549
01:23:22,120 --> 01:23:26,120
Keep Mintoff away from that because you're serious.

1550
01:23:26,120 --> 01:23:29,120
You're comparing Iconi to Prime-Ariane-Robin man.

1551
01:23:29,120 --> 01:23:32,120
But the defending was absolutely terrible. Was that Coppola?

1552
01:23:32,120 --> 01:23:35,120
Yeah, it was Coppola and he got done.

1553
01:23:35,120 --> 01:23:41,120
And you know what? I don't think anyone in this Fiorentina team needed a goal as badly as Iconi.

1554
01:23:41,120 --> 01:23:46,120
Iconi's confidence had dipped so low. He had been playing so badly.

1555
01:23:46,120 --> 01:23:50,120
I think he even got sent off recently. Everything was looking awful for him.

1556
01:23:50,120 --> 01:23:55,120
No, he had been awful. His teammates were frustrated with him.

1557
01:23:55,120 --> 01:24:00,120
So it's nice to see he scored and after he scored in fact he was playing a little bit better.

1558
01:24:00,120 --> 01:24:06,120
Well, in the goal he darted down the flank almost from his own half really well.

1559
01:24:06,120 --> 01:24:10,120
Coppola just absolutely done for pace.

1560
01:24:10,120 --> 01:24:17,120
He showed both a little bit, dropped his shoulder here and there, cut inside and went to the near post.

1561
01:24:17,120 --> 01:24:21,120
Bottom corner. It was a fantastic goal.

1562
01:24:21,120 --> 01:24:26,120
A few moments later then Kwame was brought down by Coppola inside the box.

1563
01:24:26,120 --> 01:24:34,120
And Fiorentina were subsequently awarded a penalty. Coppola had a bit of a mare in this match.

1564
01:24:34,120 --> 01:24:42,120
He got booked for the foul over there. Biragi stepped up as I've been shouting for him to step up to take penalties because of my Pantacalcio.

1565
01:24:42,120 --> 01:24:46,120
Steps up, misses. Great save by Montepo.

1566
01:24:46,120 --> 01:24:51,120
Quite a central penalty but just the fact that he tracked it got down well.

1567
01:24:51,120 --> 01:24:54,120
Great save by Montepo.

1568
01:24:54,120 --> 01:25:03,120
Montepo then had a fantastic save later on after he extended on a Martinez-Cuarta header from a corner.

1569
01:25:03,120 --> 01:25:06,120
Really firm one-armed save, bro.

1570
01:25:06,120 --> 01:25:14,120
You see a lot of those cases where that parry the ball out wide or the ball would go back into play. Spanks it like.

1571
01:25:14,120 --> 01:25:17,120
Spanks it like. Good luck getting to it.

1572
01:25:17,120 --> 01:25:23,120
He then had an acrobatic one-armed save on Bonaventura's long-range strike as well.

1573
01:25:23,120 --> 01:25:27,120
So Montepo showcasing a little bit of his strong forearm here.

1574
01:25:27,120 --> 01:25:39,120
Ninetieth minute and then Duncan with a Pirlo-esque ball to Mandragora who squared it to Nico Gonzalez who converted at the near post.

1575
01:25:39,120 --> 01:25:45,120
Fan favorite Nico Gonzalez and it's good to see him back and getting goals and assists even when he's back.

1576
01:25:45,120 --> 01:25:49,120
We saw when he featured last time this season bagged a couple of assists as well.

1577
01:25:49,120 --> 01:25:52,120
They're going to need him. His impact is massive.

1578
01:25:52,120 --> 01:25:55,120
It is, man. So interesting to see.

1579
01:25:55,120 --> 01:25:58,120
He just came back and scored already in the 19th minute.

1580
01:25:58,120 --> 01:26:03,120
He came on in the 66th minute so just over 20 minutes.

1581
01:26:03,120 --> 01:26:09,120
He got a few minutes which is good. Last time he came on he's been coming on the 85th minute and stuff like that.

1582
01:26:09,120 --> 01:26:12,120
So it's good to see him get a couple of minutes.

1583
01:26:12,120 --> 01:26:20,120
As the scoreline shows and as Verona are as a team, they don't make it easy.

1584
01:26:20,120 --> 01:26:23,120
They didn't make it easy in fact for Fiorentina either.

1585
01:26:23,120 --> 01:26:26,120
In fact they had more ball possession than Fiorentina.

1586
01:26:26,120 --> 01:26:28,120
They had eight attempts of themselves.

1587
01:26:28,120 --> 01:26:32,120
OK, Fiorentina had 15 attempts and nine of them on target.

1588
01:26:32,120 --> 01:26:35,120
So Montepo was a very, very busy man.

1589
01:26:35,120 --> 01:26:42,120
Verona don't look like a team that are going to get relegated, but they are incapable of getting points.

1590
01:26:42,120 --> 01:26:45,120
They really haven't been stacking up on those points, man.

1591
01:26:45,120 --> 01:26:53,120
So unless we could see them get that end product and start scoring goals and getting points,

1592
01:26:53,120 --> 01:26:57,120
then unfortunately they're going to remain in that relegation battle.

1593
01:26:57,120 --> 01:27:02,120
It clearly shows to me, the main talking point in this Verona side is,

1594
01:27:02,120 --> 01:27:08,120
it clearly shows that they've invested everywhere and I mean everywhere except for their defense.

1595
01:27:08,120 --> 01:27:09,120
Yes, it's true.

1596
01:27:09,120 --> 01:27:14,120
It's so incredibly obvious. Coppola was horse shit.

1597
01:27:14,120 --> 01:27:20,120
Gunther has never been amazing, has he? He's got mistakes.

1598
01:27:20,120 --> 01:27:23,120
Gunther is your average defender at the end of the day.

1599
01:27:23,120 --> 01:27:29,120
Him and Davidovic are two incredibly average defenders, man.

1600
01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:36,120
But Fiorentina finally getting a bit of a clean result over here.

1601
01:27:36,120 --> 01:27:38,120
Tunel win over Verona.

1602
01:27:38,120 --> 01:27:41,120
So a win over Verona at the moment is more of an expectation,

1603
01:27:41,120 --> 01:27:46,120
but it's a good opportunity for them to get the three points right off it.

1604
01:27:46,120 --> 01:27:51,120
Now they go to international break, they recoup, revitalize,

1605
01:27:51,120 --> 01:27:53,120
get back in and hopefully pick up where they left off.

1606
01:27:53,120 --> 01:28:00,120
Yes. I think Fiorentina needed a victory like this.

1607
01:28:00,120 --> 01:28:06,120
It had been a while. They've come off three games without winning.

1608
01:28:06,120 --> 01:28:09,120
So they played against Bologna and lost, they played against Juve and Drew,

1609
01:28:09,120 --> 01:28:14,120
they played against Udinese and lost, they played against Napoli and lost before that,

1610
01:28:14,120 --> 01:28:16,120
they played against Empoli and drew before that.

1611
01:28:16,120 --> 01:28:18,120
So they drew to Napoli too.

1612
01:28:18,120 --> 01:28:20,120
So they hadn't won a game in a while.

1613
01:28:20,120 --> 01:28:23,120
No, draw, draw, loss, draw, loss, win.

1614
01:28:23,120 --> 01:28:25,120
So they very much needed this.

1615
01:28:25,120 --> 01:28:29,120
It's interesting to see, of course, Quame as an option in the striker position.

1616
01:28:29,120 --> 01:28:32,120
I think we'll be seeing him more often than not over there,

1617
01:28:32,120 --> 01:28:36,120
to be honest, considering the form of Jovic and Cabral.

1618
01:28:36,120 --> 01:28:38,120
Jovic was injured by the way, right? He must have been.

1619
01:28:38,120 --> 01:28:44,120
Yes, but not severely injured, he has a knock, which kept him out of the game.

1620
01:28:44,120 --> 01:28:46,120
Quame is a very mobile striker.

1621
01:28:46,120 --> 01:28:51,120
He provides something that Cabral and Jovic do not, and that is pace and agility.

1622
01:28:51,120 --> 01:28:54,120
So it'll be interesting to see them work around him.

1623
01:28:54,120 --> 01:28:59,120
Verona on the other hand, bro, they've slowly, slowly, man,

1624
01:28:59,120 --> 01:29:01,120
their management is just letting go of so many players.

1625
01:29:01,120 --> 01:29:03,120
Their best players are just leaving season after season.

1626
01:29:03,120 --> 01:29:07,120
I don't know if this is sustainable and I don't know how long this can go for.

1627
01:29:07,120 --> 01:29:11,120
Last year, many people said that they would get relegated.

1628
01:29:11,120 --> 01:29:13,120
We instantly said that they're not going to get relegated.

1629
01:29:13,120 --> 01:29:15,120
They're too good to get relegated.

1630
01:29:15,120 --> 01:29:19,120
But this season is a bit different. They've lost a lot.

1631
01:29:19,120 --> 01:29:25,120
I don't think they'll get relegated, but I think at this rate, in three years they might.

1632
01:29:25,120 --> 01:29:27,120
In five years' time, they might actually go down.

1633
01:29:27,120 --> 01:29:30,120
If they keep investing this poorly, they're fucked.

1634
01:29:30,120 --> 01:29:33,120
You look at their starting eleven in this match.

1635
01:29:33,120 --> 01:29:37,120
I mean, you look at that in comparison to the one they lined up with,

1636
01:29:37,120 --> 01:29:41,120
first match of last year or the one before that.

1637
01:29:41,120 --> 01:29:43,120
Significant changes in the team.

1638
01:29:43,120 --> 01:29:55,120
You know, losing Caprari, losing Giovanni Semione, losing Barak, losing DiMarco, for example, as well.

1639
01:29:55,120 --> 01:30:00,120
They've lost everyone and they haven't really, and who do they bring in?

1640
01:30:00,120 --> 01:30:02,120
You know, Henri? Sure.

1641
01:30:02,120 --> 01:30:07,120
That's fine. That's their only OK purchase, in my opinion.

1642
01:30:07,120 --> 01:30:09,120
Sure, you know, it's OK.

1643
01:30:09,120 --> 01:30:12,120
There was Zakanje as well before. They had Zakanje as well.

1644
01:30:12,120 --> 01:30:14,120
They had a team that could fight for Europe.

1645
01:30:14,120 --> 01:30:19,120
And now suddenly, that starting eleven is a relegation battling team.

1646
01:30:19,120 --> 01:30:21,120
Will they get relegated? Probably not.

1647
01:30:21,120 --> 01:30:24,120
Because there is an element of continuity.

1648
01:30:24,120 --> 01:30:31,120
These players, Ilic Lasovic, Thames, De Pauli, Gunther, Lasagna,

1649
01:30:31,120 --> 01:30:34,120
they know each other and they have quality.

1650
01:30:34,120 --> 01:30:35,120
And they know the league.

1651
01:30:35,120 --> 01:30:39,120
Yeah. And want to pose a fantastic goalkeeper as well.

1652
01:30:39,120 --> 01:30:42,120
I think they'll be safe. They'll be fine.

1653
01:30:42,120 --> 01:30:48,120
But they really need to start getting points and they might need to beat some teams that are better than them along the way.

1654
01:30:48,120 --> 01:30:50,120
Totally.

1655
01:30:50,120 --> 01:30:55,120
But I think that's it. Unless you have any additional points on these teams.

1656
01:30:55,120 --> 01:30:58,120
I mean, we've pretty much covered Verona.

1657
01:30:58,120 --> 01:31:04,120
I think for Fiorentina, it's about them riding off the momentum now

1658
01:31:04,120 --> 01:31:11,120
and seeing how they're going to react to more midweek action, because that was the weirdest thing,

1659
01:31:11,120 --> 01:31:17,120
was seeing them try to play with certain players in certain positions and changing things up.

1660
01:31:17,120 --> 01:31:22,120
And their squad is very versatile when it comes to wingers.

1661
01:31:22,120 --> 01:31:30,120
But when it comes to midfielders and defenders, maybe not as much as I'd like, especially in the defensive area.

1662
01:31:30,120 --> 01:31:35,120
Things aren't looking very good for them either in the Europa League.

1663
01:31:35,120 --> 01:31:37,120
They're currently lost in their group.

1664
01:31:37,120 --> 01:31:40,120
And their group consists of the Conference League, you mean?

1665
01:31:40,120 --> 01:31:45,120
Yeah, sorry. RFS, Hearts and Istanbul, Bassakir.

1666
01:31:45,120 --> 01:31:49,120
Yeah, they're the team that just fucking spanked them 3-0.

1667
01:31:49,120 --> 01:31:52,120
I don't think it's a priority for Fiorentina.

1668
01:31:52,120 --> 01:31:58,120
I think they're just like, let's get out of the Conference League and let's focus on the league.

1669
01:31:58,120 --> 01:32:02,120
But if they get Conference League again, in my opinion, that's a successful season for them.

1670
01:32:02,120 --> 01:32:07,120
So they might as well put their eggs in the Conference League basket.

1671
01:32:07,120 --> 01:32:10,120
They're like, now let's aim for eighth.

1672
01:32:10,120 --> 01:32:16,120
Exactly. Fuck the Conference League, guys. Let's get eighth.

1673
01:32:16,120 --> 01:32:20,120
We want to be where Atalanta were last year. That's our goal.

1674
01:32:20,120 --> 01:32:24,120
They're in tenth right now, so they're not far off. They're on nine points.

1675
01:32:24,120 --> 01:32:29,120
The Faroan and Seventeenth on five points, one point away from relegation.

1676
01:32:29,120 --> 01:32:33,120
The next game was Torino nil, Sassuolo won.

1677
01:32:33,120 --> 01:32:39,120
Torino's loss means that they have now lost four of their 19 Serie A matches against Sassuolo.

1678
01:32:39,120 --> 01:32:42,120
The last one before this coming in 2020.

1679
01:32:42,120 --> 01:32:47,120
The Granata have collected seven draws and eight wins in this period.

1680
01:32:47,120 --> 01:32:51,120
Torino had scored in each of their last 11 games before this one, bro.

1681
01:32:51,120 --> 01:32:55,120
So this was a bit of a combo breaker for them.

1682
01:32:55,120 --> 01:32:58,120
Now, lineups.

1683
01:32:58,120 --> 01:33:03,120
Torino lined up with Vani Amelinkovic, Savage and Goal, the Titan himself.

1684
01:33:03,120 --> 01:33:06,120
Buongiorno, Schuers and Gigi at the back.

1685
01:33:06,120 --> 01:33:09,120
Lazaro on the left, Shingo on the right.

1686
01:33:09,120 --> 01:33:12,120
Linetti and Lukic as a double pivot.

1687
01:33:12,120 --> 01:33:18,120
Vlasic as the treco artista and Radonjic and Sec as the striking partnership.

1688
01:33:18,120 --> 01:33:20,120
Concilie and Goal for Sassuolo.

1689
01:33:20,120 --> 01:33:22,120
Tolian on the right, Rogerio on the left.

1690
01:33:22,120 --> 01:33:25,120
Ferrari and Aihon as the centre back pairing.

1691
01:33:25,120 --> 01:33:29,120
Harui, Lopez and Frattesi in the middle of the park.

1692
01:33:29,120 --> 01:33:34,120
18-year-old call up from the primavera D'Andrea on the right.

1693
01:33:34,120 --> 01:33:39,120
Lorente on the left and Penamonti as the striker.

1694
01:33:39,120 --> 01:33:44,120
Now, it's good to see them fielding someone from the primavera team.

1695
01:33:44,120 --> 01:33:46,120
I don't feel like we see it enough in Italy.

1696
01:33:46,120 --> 01:33:51,120
We see it a lot with clubs like Juve bringing through Miretti, Rovella, so on so forth.

1697
01:33:51,120 --> 01:33:55,120
Uncharacteristically for Juve.

1698
01:33:55,120 --> 01:33:56,120
We see it a lot in the Premier League.

1699
01:33:56,120 --> 01:34:03,120
We saw Arsene field a fucking 15-year-old last week and they got 30 minutes of game time.

1700
01:34:03,120 --> 01:34:08,120
More of that and maybe not 15-year-olds but more primavera players in Serie A.

1701
01:34:08,120 --> 01:34:13,120
I think Serie A should one-up them and bring on a 7-year-old next game.

1702
01:34:13,120 --> 01:34:14,120
Amen, amen.

1703
01:34:14,120 --> 01:34:16,120
Let's do it.

1704
01:34:16,120 --> 01:34:23,120
In the first half, Lazaro scored a rebound after Vlasic struck the bar.

1705
01:34:23,120 --> 01:34:28,120
He was celebrating but it turns out after a VAR review that he was in an offside position.

1706
01:34:28,120 --> 01:34:31,120
Vlasic had been in an offside position.

1707
01:34:31,120 --> 01:34:32,120
Roasted.

1708
01:34:32,120 --> 01:34:37,120
The game was pretty much a stalemate with Torino kind of controlling things.

1709
01:34:37,120 --> 01:34:45,120
In the 92nd minute, actually let's say it from the second he came on.

1710
01:34:45,120 --> 01:34:52,120
In the 86th minute, Alvarez came on for Pena Monti and he looked so hungry, bro.

1711
01:34:52,120 --> 01:34:56,120
He instantly took a shot from outside the area.

1712
01:34:56,120 --> 01:34:59,120
Quite a decent shot after quite some nice movement.

1713
01:34:59,120 --> 01:35:03,120
He skied his attempt, it was very close, quite a decent attempt for his first one.

1714
01:35:03,120 --> 01:35:07,120
Then in the 92nd minute, Sergio crossed the ball to him and he scored with a header.

1715
01:35:07,120 --> 01:35:12,120
Ran to the Torino fans and pointed a heart at them as Ferrari told him off.

1716
01:35:12,120 --> 01:35:15,120
He celebrated basically in front of the wrong fans.

1717
01:35:15,120 --> 01:35:19,120
We don't really blame him for doing so because Sassuolo do not have many fans.

1718
01:35:19,120 --> 01:35:22,120
He spotted three fans next to each other.

1719
01:35:22,120 --> 01:35:24,120
It's like there they are, our curva.

1720
01:35:24,120 --> 01:35:26,120
There they are, I love you guys.

1721
01:35:26,120 --> 01:35:30,120
It's quite a funny clip, you can see it on our TikTok, I'd say a spotlight.

1722
01:35:30,120 --> 01:35:35,120
Sassuolo showing maturity, bro.

1723
01:35:35,120 --> 01:35:40,120
Dionisi said that he wanted to concede less goals and here we are.

1724
01:35:40,120 --> 01:35:45,120
Sassuolo did not concede against a team that had scored against them in the previous 11 games.

1725
01:35:45,120 --> 01:35:47,120
That's a big success for them.

1726
01:35:47,120 --> 01:35:52,120
They won ugly, they struggled, they suffered together and they won.

1727
01:35:52,120 --> 01:35:54,120
What do you make of this game, bro?

1728
01:35:54,120 --> 01:35:57,120
It was nice seeing Alvarez come and go and getting a goal.

1729
01:35:57,120 --> 01:36:06,120
It's just a reminder to Pinnamonti that he is going to need to work hard if he is going to keep his place up front.

1730
01:36:06,120 --> 01:36:10,120
Of course, to be quite frank, it must be up for grabs at this point.

1731
01:36:10,120 --> 01:36:15,120
Dionisi isn't getting exactly what he wants out of Pinnamonti.

1732
01:36:15,120 --> 01:36:21,120
I think Alvarez performing is something that could potentially change that.

1733
01:36:21,120 --> 01:36:26,120
They are both starting from ground zero, the point you mentioned.

1734
01:36:26,120 --> 01:36:31,120
Pinnamonti got one goal, it was a bit of a gift for him to be honest.

1735
01:36:31,120 --> 01:36:33,120
Alvarez's goal is a bit more impressive.

1736
01:36:33,120 --> 01:36:36,120
I particularly like Alvarez because of his Uruguayan industry.

1737
01:36:36,120 --> 01:36:39,120
He is 21 years old.

1738
01:36:39,120 --> 01:36:44,120
Uruguayan players tend to have this fire in them, this aggression.

1739
01:36:44,120 --> 01:36:47,120
The Cavani's, the Suarez, the Diego Forlans.

1740
01:36:47,120 --> 01:36:51,120
And Alvarez did demonstrate a bit of the spirit while playing at this game.

1741
01:36:51,120 --> 01:36:53,120
Agreed, agreed.

1742
01:36:53,120 --> 01:36:57,120
I'd like to also highlight Gigi's golden chance at the near post.

1743
01:36:57,120 --> 01:37:03,120
In the first half he shanked it and the commentator said that's what a defender does with a volley.

1744
01:37:03,120 --> 01:37:07,120
Not wrong, not wrong at all.

1745
01:37:07,120 --> 01:37:18,120
Sasuolo's first win in five games means that they are now 11th in the table with nine points as Torino are 9th with ten points.

1746
01:37:18,120 --> 01:37:23,120
And the next game we're going to be covering is Bologna 0-1.

1747
01:37:23,120 --> 01:37:30,120
This was Mata's first game in charge of Bologna and it has in fact ended in defeat.

1748
01:37:30,120 --> 01:37:34,120
Bologna were coming off their first victory of the season against Fiorentina.

1749
01:37:34,120 --> 01:37:38,120
While simply were coming off a 2-1 home loss against Roma.

1750
01:37:38,120 --> 01:37:43,120
So a much changed Bologna side in Mata's first game in charge.

1751
01:37:43,120 --> 01:37:48,120
So looking at this they started with a four at the back and played 4-2-3-1.

1752
01:37:48,120 --> 01:37:54,120
Skorupski in goal with Cambiasso, Lukumi, Posch and Di Silvestri as the back four.

1753
01:37:54,120 --> 01:37:56,120
Schouten and Medell in the double pivot.

1754
01:37:56,120 --> 01:38:01,120
Good to see Garry Garry playing in his natural position over there.

1755
01:38:01,120 --> 01:38:08,120
Barrow out wide and Orsolini out wide with Soriano on the attacking midfield role and Arnautovic up front.

1756
01:38:08,120 --> 01:38:11,120
For Empoli it was a 4-3-1-2 formation.

1757
01:38:11,120 --> 01:38:15,120
Vicario between the sticks who was just called up for Italy and rightly so.

1758
01:38:15,120 --> 01:38:18,120
Stojanovic with Mildiluperto and Parisi making the back line.

1759
01:38:18,120 --> 01:38:26,120
With Haas, Marin and Bandonele in midfield by Rami attacking mid with Satriano and Lammers up front.

1760
01:38:26,120 --> 01:38:30,120
So this may have been just a one-nil victory for Empoli.

1761
01:38:30,120 --> 01:38:34,120
It was however one of the most exciting encounters that we had this matchday.

1762
01:38:34,120 --> 01:38:37,120
Which is saying a lot because we had many good encounters.

1763
01:38:37,120 --> 01:38:40,120
So it was Skorupski versus Vicario on this.

1764
01:38:40,120 --> 01:38:44,120
Whichever goalkeeper was better their team would come out with the victory.

1765
01:38:44,120 --> 01:38:48,120
Skorupski started off superbly.

1766
01:38:48,120 --> 01:38:53,120
He had a fine save to deny Lammers' header which was heading into the top corner.

1767
01:38:53,120 --> 01:38:55,120
Acrobatic stuff by Skorupski.

1768
01:38:55,120 --> 01:39:00,120
There was then a terrible back pass by Cambiasso played way too short to Skorupski.

1769
01:39:00,120 --> 01:39:04,120
It put Satriano clean through on goal and Skorupski denied him.

1770
01:39:04,120 --> 01:39:10,120
Shortly after this time it was Posch's turn to play the ball back to Skorupski way too soft.

1771
01:39:10,120 --> 01:39:15,120
And this time Lammers was clean through on goal and again Skorupski denied him.

1772
01:39:15,120 --> 01:39:18,120
Brilliant stuff by the goalkeeper over there.

1773
01:39:18,120 --> 01:39:21,120
Shortly after then it was Vicario's turn to turn things up.

1774
01:39:21,120 --> 01:39:26,120
He had a fantastic save on Orsalini after some great work by Medel.

1775
01:39:26,120 --> 01:39:35,120
And then shortly after Cambiasso's cross was handled in the box by one of the Empoli players.

1776
01:39:35,120 --> 01:39:41,120
However Avarczyk deemed the incident to be in an offside position.

1777
01:39:41,120 --> 01:39:44,120
So the penalty wasn't essentially given.

1778
01:39:44,120 --> 01:39:47,120
Vicario then had another brilliant save to deny Orsalini.

1779
01:39:47,120 --> 01:39:51,120
He got down well to stop a low, hard and accurate strike.

1780
01:39:51,120 --> 01:39:53,120
It was absolutely unbelievable.

1781
01:39:53,120 --> 01:40:02,120
In the second half and then Henderson's square pass caused Skorupski to parry the ball away to the path of Bandinelli who finished into an empty net.

1782
01:40:02,120 --> 01:40:10,120
I found it hilarious that on who scored it showed that this was an error by Skorupski leading to a goal.

1783
01:40:10,120 --> 01:40:14,120
Absolutely not. It was a rebound. You know what I mean?

1784
01:40:14,120 --> 01:40:21,120
But the low ball played in at the near post could have been handled a little bit more promptly by Skorupski to be fair.

1785
01:40:21,120 --> 01:40:22,120
I don't think so.

1786
01:40:22,120 --> 01:40:25,120
I think that's why they marked it as an error.

1787
01:40:25,120 --> 01:40:28,120
As in he parried the ball out and it only went as far as...

1788
01:40:28,120 --> 01:40:29,120
It's harsh to call it an error.

1789
01:40:29,120 --> 01:40:31,120
It's harsh as fuck. It's harsh as fuck.

1790
01:40:31,120 --> 01:40:36,120
That is no way we'll ever see that and go, ah, the goalkeeper fucked up and they conceded.

1791
01:40:36,120 --> 01:40:39,120
It was soft goalkeeping in my opinion.

1792
01:40:39,120 --> 01:40:44,120
It's a shame because he had a really good game other than that.

1793
01:40:44,120 --> 01:40:49,120
But this moment I think he reacted a little bit late to the Lammer's ball coming in.

1794
01:40:49,120 --> 01:40:55,120
I think what you're trying to do here is keep up the anti-Skorupski agenda because I said he's the second best goalkeeper in the league.

1795
01:40:55,120 --> 01:41:01,120
Because what he does is deny a goal and the ball goes into the striker's path and he finishes into an empty net.

1796
01:41:01,120 --> 01:41:04,120
There wasn't soft goalkeeping. There was soft defending.

1797
01:41:04,120 --> 01:41:09,120
He came out and made a stop otherwise the ball would have gone into the back of the net.

1798
01:41:09,120 --> 01:41:14,120
He parries it, goes into the striker's path and he taps into the empty net.

1799
01:41:14,120 --> 01:41:16,120
But it's by no means Korupski's error.

1800
01:41:16,120 --> 01:41:25,120
What I think you're trying to do is overly defend a guy that you overrated in your rankings, my friend.

1801
01:41:25,120 --> 01:41:26,120
Wrong.

1802
01:41:26,120 --> 01:41:27,120
Wrong.

1803
01:41:27,120 --> 01:41:28,120
Wrong.

1804
01:41:28,120 --> 01:41:30,120
Maybe. I mean...

1805
01:41:30,120 --> 01:41:35,120
No way would you ever look at that if it was another goalkeeper and say that was a goalkeeping error.

1806
01:41:35,120 --> 01:41:37,120
I mean, who's score thinks it is?

1807
01:41:37,120 --> 01:41:39,120
It's a rebound.

1808
01:41:39,120 --> 01:41:44,120
He saves the ball. It goes to someone else and they finish it.

1809
01:41:44,120 --> 01:41:45,120
He made a good save.

1810
01:41:45,120 --> 01:41:48,120
I'm sure it was his near post. I feel like he should have been more assertive.

1811
01:41:48,120 --> 01:41:51,120
And at the end of the day he goes down, he parries the ball.

1812
01:41:51,120 --> 01:41:55,120
He collided with their striker. He clattered with their striker.

1813
01:41:55,120 --> 01:41:57,120
I don't know what else he could have done.

1814
01:41:57,120 --> 01:42:02,120
He grabbed it like when he's getting clattered inside of...

1815
01:42:02,120 --> 01:42:05,120
He had the striker and the defender.

1816
01:42:05,120 --> 01:42:06,120
Go body on the ball, you know.

1817
01:42:06,120 --> 01:42:10,120
Oh, come on, bro. It was a shot. He stopped it.

1818
01:42:10,120 --> 01:42:11,120
Sure, sure, sure.

1819
01:42:11,120 --> 01:42:12,120
There were little more.

1820
01:42:12,120 --> 01:42:16,120
Yep. That's it. So Empoli made it 1-0 over there.

1821
01:42:16,120 --> 01:42:25,120
Shortly after, Arnautovic hit the post with a header at the far post with Vicarrio absolutely scrambling back.

1822
01:42:25,120 --> 01:42:29,120
And moments after, Xerxie hit the crossbar after a corner.

1823
01:42:29,120 --> 01:42:34,120
He was totally by himself and pundits were saying how he should have scored,

1824
01:42:34,120 --> 01:42:40,120
but he would have seen it late and didn't manage to react in time.

1825
01:42:40,120 --> 01:42:47,120
So victory for Empoli. Mota's first match in charge ends in defeat.

1826
01:42:47,120 --> 01:42:51,120
I'm starting to think that Bologna should just operate with a caretaker manager.

1827
01:42:51,120 --> 01:42:54,120
Yes, they certainly do better with a caretaker manager.

1828
01:42:54,120 --> 01:42:57,120
But this was an interesting brand of football that Mota played.

1829
01:42:57,120 --> 01:43:00,120
They had a lot of possession, very possession-based.

1830
01:43:00,120 --> 01:43:03,120
And they were quite unlucky, I think, to go home with nothing.

1831
01:43:03,120 --> 01:43:06,120
They were, brother, Vicarrio.

1832
01:43:06,120 --> 01:43:07,120
He was amazing.

1833
01:43:07,120 --> 01:43:08,120
Is the reason they were home with nothing.

1834
01:43:08,120 --> 01:43:12,120
And that unorthodox save at the end on Arnautovic was so weird.

1835
01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:13,120
Bro.

1836
01:43:12,120 --> 01:43:13,120
So good.

1837
01:43:13,120 --> 01:43:18,120
He is a top, top, top, top goalkeeper, Vicarrio.

1838
01:43:18,120 --> 01:43:22,120
When he's on, he's on. He also has the odd error in him.

1839
01:43:22,120 --> 01:43:25,120
I compare him and Monte-Po a lot.

1840
01:43:25,120 --> 01:43:30,120
I never know who the better one is because Monte-Po will have a brilliant game,

1841
01:43:30,120 --> 01:43:34,120
then Vicarrio has a brilliant game, and then vice versa, and then vice versa.

1842
01:43:34,120 --> 01:43:38,120
Bologna really, really did do their best,

1843
01:43:38,120 --> 01:43:42,120
but I genuinely believe that Vicarrio is the reason that Empoli got away with something

1844
01:43:42,120 --> 01:43:51,120
and a bit of unluckiness for Bologna hitting the post twice and so on and so forth.

1845
01:43:51,120 --> 01:43:56,120
Empoli also had their chances and Skorupski denied them.

1846
01:43:56,120 --> 01:43:59,120
That is one area where Bologna were really struggling, bro,

1847
01:43:59,120 --> 01:44:01,120
is when they looked to build the ball from the back,

1848
01:44:01,120 --> 01:44:05,120
they turned around and tried to play it back to Skorupski on multiple occasions.

1849
01:44:05,120 --> 01:44:08,120
They did that on two out of all those times.

1850
01:44:08,120 --> 01:44:14,120
They played short balls and their striker ended up being clean through on goal against Skorupski.

1851
01:44:14,120 --> 01:44:18,120
For a Mota side, though, I'm sure that'll be brushed up, no?

1852
01:44:18,120 --> 01:44:21,120
Yeah, most probably.

1853
01:44:21,120 --> 01:44:23,120
Look, Mota is an interesting brand of football.

1854
01:44:23,120 --> 01:44:26,120
He actually did quite well at Spezia.

1855
01:44:26,120 --> 01:44:29,120
Granted, I think he's a little bit pretentious.

1856
01:44:29,120 --> 01:44:32,120
I think his ideas are bombastic,

1857
01:44:32,120 --> 01:44:38,120
but at the end of the day on the pitch, he does show some very positive football,

1858
01:44:38,120 --> 01:44:40,120
and it has proven to work.

1859
01:44:40,120 --> 01:44:44,120
I think all he needs is time for Bologna,

1860
01:44:44,120 --> 01:44:47,120
and time will show that he is probably the right man for the job.

1861
01:44:47,120 --> 01:44:50,120
This Bologna team is dying for some identity, man.

1862
01:44:50,120 --> 01:44:51,120
Hey, man, yes.

1863
01:44:51,120 --> 01:44:52,120
Dying for some identity.

1864
01:44:52,120 --> 01:44:53,120
They have the personality.

1865
01:44:53,120 --> 01:44:54,120
Exactly.

1866
01:44:54,120 --> 01:44:56,120
So I think it'll give them that.

1867
01:44:56,120 --> 01:45:01,120
On the other hand, Empoli did a super job to get away with three points

1868
01:45:01,120 --> 01:45:07,120
in a situation where probably they shouldn't have gotten away with the full three points.

1869
01:45:07,120 --> 01:45:10,120
And this is their first win of the season.

1870
01:45:10,120 --> 01:45:12,120
Yes, they had many draws.

1871
01:45:12,120 --> 01:45:13,120
Exactly.

1872
01:45:13,120 --> 01:45:15,120
Draw, draw, draw, draw, draw, loss, win.

1873
01:45:15,120 --> 01:45:16,120
Exactly.

1874
01:45:16,120 --> 01:45:21,120
So it's good to see them getting their first three points,

1875
01:45:21,120 --> 01:45:25,120
and hopefully they can monetize that and ride off the momentum.

1876
01:45:25,120 --> 01:45:28,120
But yeah, that's that for this game.

1877
01:45:28,120 --> 01:45:32,120
There's not much that we need to see what Mata can do with Bologna

1878
01:45:32,120 --> 01:45:36,120
as Empoli obviously all thumbs up to them for getting their first victory.

1879
01:45:36,120 --> 01:45:42,120
Empoli are in 14th on seven points, while Bologna are in 16th on six points.

1880
01:45:42,120 --> 01:45:46,120
Salernitana won Lekce two.

1881
01:45:46,120 --> 01:45:49,120
This was some Friday night madness.

1882
01:45:49,120 --> 01:45:54,120
And it was also the first meeting in Serie A between Salernitana and Lekce.

1883
01:45:54,120 --> 01:45:55,120
Go boys.

1884
01:45:55,120 --> 01:45:59,120
In total, there were 16 games in Serie A between these two teams.

1885
01:45:59,120 --> 01:46:05,120
Lekce leading by seven wins to four and five draws, of course.

1886
01:46:05,120 --> 01:46:10,120
Now, Sepp and Goal for Salernitana as they line up with their 3-5-2.

1887
01:46:10,120 --> 01:46:13,120
Gjomber, Danilulic and Bron at the back.

1888
01:46:13,120 --> 01:46:16,120
Matsoki on the left, Kandreva on the right.

1889
01:46:16,120 --> 01:46:19,120
Vilhena Maggiore and Koulibaly in the middle.

1890
01:46:19,120 --> 01:46:24,120
Pjontek and DIA were the striking partnership for Salernitana.

1891
01:46:24,120 --> 01:46:29,120
Lekce lined up with a 4-3-3 with Falcone and Goal, John Dre on the right.

1892
01:46:29,120 --> 01:46:35,120
Pecela on the left, Basquirotto and Pongracic at the back.

1893
01:46:35,120 --> 01:46:40,120
Gonzalez, Humlind and Askildsen in the middle.

1894
01:46:40,120 --> 01:46:44,120
Di Francesco on the right, Banda on the left and Cissé up front.

1895
01:46:44,120 --> 01:46:46,120
He has a bit of a struggle over there.

1896
01:46:46,120 --> 01:46:48,120
Can you tell me again, please?

1897
01:46:48,120 --> 01:46:51,120
Pongracic.

1898
01:46:51,120 --> 01:46:58,120
So this was a really good game of football that got going in the first half in the 43rd minute.

1899
01:46:58,120 --> 01:47:02,120
There was a quick counter by Lekce.

1900
01:47:02,120 --> 01:47:07,120
That's so Humlind playing a great ball to Cissé on the counter.

1901
01:47:07,120 --> 01:47:12,120
Cissé is in a lot of space but he still has a defender on him and a lot to do.

1902
01:47:12,120 --> 01:47:19,120
He outpaces his man, he shields him off, he gets around the goalkeeper and he casually slides it in.

1903
01:47:19,120 --> 01:47:21,120
What a goal, what a goal, what a goal.

1904
01:47:21,120 --> 01:47:22,120
Banger.

1905
01:47:22,120 --> 01:47:23,120
Amazing player.

1906
01:47:23,120 --> 01:47:27,120
He's going to do very good things with Lekce.

1907
01:47:27,120 --> 01:47:31,120
This almost made our goal of the week, which makes me realize we didn't talk about our goal of the week.

1908
01:47:31,120 --> 01:47:33,120
Oh my God, we didn't.

1909
01:47:33,120 --> 01:47:35,120
But we plugged in the intro.

1910
01:47:35,120 --> 01:47:36,120
Oh my God.

1911
01:47:36,120 --> 01:47:39,120
Our goal of the week was Sabiri.

1912
01:47:39,120 --> 01:47:44,120
He scored an amazing goal but we'll get to that of course in the next game.

1913
01:47:44,120 --> 01:47:50,120
The next goal, the equalizer, was actually an extremely bizarre goal.

1914
01:47:50,120 --> 01:47:58,120
There was a corner and Joao Gonzales went to kick the ball away and ended up shanking it, mis-kicking it into his own net.

1915
01:47:58,120 --> 01:48:00,120
Terrible for him, can't tell but feel bad.

1916
01:48:00,120 --> 01:48:07,120
And it was in the 83rd minute that Antonino Gallo played the ball to Gabriel Streffetza outside the area.

1917
01:48:07,120 --> 01:48:16,120
Streffetza with his trademarked curler scores a banger, takes off his t-shirt but he's wearing a bra.

1918
01:48:16,120 --> 01:48:19,120
I've been seeing this more and more recently.

1919
01:48:19,120 --> 01:48:20,120
It's not that cool.

1920
01:48:20,120 --> 01:48:21,120
Sport bras everywhere.

1921
01:48:21,120 --> 01:48:26,120
When you take off your shirt when you score a goal and you're wearing a bra, that's not very cool, man.

1922
01:48:26,120 --> 01:48:33,120
Like, peak taking off your shirt in celebration is Ryan Giggs against Arsenal for United.

1923
01:48:33,120 --> 01:48:39,120
Takes his shirt off and there's a forest of hair on his chest.

1924
01:48:39,120 --> 01:48:42,120
That's what we want to see as consumers.

1925
01:48:42,120 --> 01:48:43,120
You know what I mean?

1926
01:48:43,120 --> 01:48:46,120
We don't want to see sports bras.

1927
01:48:46,120 --> 01:48:47,120
You know?

1928
01:48:47,120 --> 01:48:48,120
Yeah.

1929
01:48:48,120 --> 01:48:51,120
But anyway Salernitana were very wasteful.

1930
01:48:51,120 --> 01:48:56,120
Lechev fought hard, I feel like they were quite fortunate to get the three points at the end.

1931
01:48:56,120 --> 01:49:02,120
But you know, they're just reaping the results of their hard work basically.

1932
01:49:02,120 --> 01:49:03,120
Yeah.

1933
01:49:03,120 --> 01:49:09,120
Salernitana have some fucking good service bra out wide with Kondreva and Matsoky over there.

1934
01:49:09,120 --> 01:49:13,120
Piontek and DIA can definitely feast with these guys.

1935
01:49:13,120 --> 01:49:20,120
DIA went off injured this game but I feel like they can get those numbers up with the service that they have around them.

1936
01:49:20,120 --> 01:49:25,120
Even Maljoria had some good moments with them and playing them through on separate occasions.

1937
01:49:25,120 --> 01:49:29,120
Yeah, it's a totally different side than the one you see last year.

1938
01:49:29,120 --> 01:49:35,120
If you compare them to the Salernitana towards the end of last year,

1939
01:49:35,120 --> 01:49:39,120
you obviously see some similarities because of the Davide and Nicola influence.

1940
01:49:39,120 --> 01:49:43,120
But they have many more tools to their arsenal now that they can utilise.

1941
01:49:43,120 --> 01:49:47,120
So they don't have to make do from the scraps that they were left with from last season.

1942
01:49:47,120 --> 01:49:51,120
They've invested a little bit in players like Piontek and Kondreva and DIA.

1943
01:49:51,120 --> 01:49:54,120
So hopefully they can... well, most hopefully they can.

1944
01:49:54,120 --> 01:49:57,120
They do look a much better side now.

1945
01:49:57,120 --> 01:50:04,120
Lecce were very organised with their brand of football as well with Marco Barone over here.

1946
01:50:04,120 --> 01:50:08,120
His first victory for Lecce in Serie A.

1947
01:50:08,120 --> 01:50:10,120
Right?

1948
01:50:10,120 --> 01:50:13,120
Yeah, their first victory this season.

1949
01:50:13,120 --> 01:50:15,120
And it was a massive one for them.

1950
01:50:15,120 --> 01:50:18,120
A way to Salernitana is definitely not an easy game to play right now,

1951
01:50:18,120 --> 01:50:22,120
but they did very well to hang in there and to get three points.

1952
01:50:22,120 --> 01:50:24,120
Agreed, agreed.

1953
01:50:24,120 --> 01:50:27,120
So they are...

1954
01:50:27,120 --> 01:50:31,120
Letria are 15th in the table with six points,

1955
01:50:31,120 --> 01:50:36,120
while Salernitana are 13th with seven points.

1956
01:50:36,120 --> 01:50:42,120
Precisely. So the next and final game we're going to be covering is Spezia 2 Sampdoria 1.

1957
01:50:42,120 --> 01:50:46,120
Another upset over here, maybe not one of the two shocking ones though.

1958
01:50:46,120 --> 01:50:49,120
Spezia are coming off a 1-0 loss to Napoli,

1959
01:50:49,120 --> 01:50:53,120
while Sampdoria are coming off a 2-1 home loss to Milan.

1960
01:50:53,120 --> 01:50:57,120
So Spezia lined up with their 3-5-2 formation with Dragovski in goal,

1961
01:50:57,120 --> 01:51:00,120
Nikolaou Kiwiour and Ampadou in the back line.

1962
01:51:00,120 --> 01:51:04,120
Riek on home, out wide with Kofalenko, Borabian, Bastoni in the midfield,

1963
01:51:04,120 --> 01:51:07,120
and Zola and Jasi up front.

1964
01:51:07,120 --> 01:51:11,120
Out there on goal for Sampdoria with Berezinski, Ferrari, Jason Murillo,

1965
01:51:11,120 --> 01:51:13,120
and Augello at the back.

1966
01:51:13,120 --> 01:51:17,120
Villar in the holding with Fildro with Rincon and Sabiri up ahead of him.

1967
01:51:17,120 --> 01:51:22,120
Leri Santuricic out wide with Caputo up front.

1968
01:51:22,120 --> 01:51:28,120
So it was in the 11th minute that Sabiri scored what was potentially the...

1969
01:51:28,120 --> 01:51:32,120
well, definitely the goal of the week and potentially even the goal of the season thus far.

1970
01:51:32,120 --> 01:51:38,120
It was a very, very incredibly long-ranged dipping strike from miles out.

1971
01:51:38,120 --> 01:51:41,120
The dip was unbelievable.

1972
01:51:41,120 --> 01:51:47,120
The ball went so high and then dipped at the perfect moment over Dragovski.

1973
01:51:47,120 --> 01:51:49,120
Nothing he can do about it.

1974
01:51:49,120 --> 01:51:53,120
If you haven't seen this goal, guys, look it up because it is fantastic.

1975
01:51:53,120 --> 01:51:59,120
And then for Spezia, Holmes Danger's ball, Danger's square ball rather, sorry,

1976
01:51:59,120 --> 01:52:05,120
was deflected off of Ferrari and then off of Murillo and into the back of their own net

1977
01:52:05,120 --> 01:52:08,120
for Jason Murillo own goal.

1978
01:52:08,120 --> 01:52:14,120
It was ping pong stuff in their own box, really unorganized defending there by Sampdoria.

1979
01:52:14,120 --> 01:52:18,120
Subsequently, Spezia got the goal over there.

1980
01:52:18,120 --> 01:52:21,120
Augello had a brilliant save on Ampadu.

1981
01:52:21,120 --> 01:52:26,120
He got into position well and extended his legs super well.

1982
01:52:26,120 --> 01:52:33,120
Sabiri then was super close to scoring from distance again with a low-place drive from distance.

1983
01:52:33,120 --> 01:52:35,120
Close him down at that point.

1984
01:52:35,120 --> 01:52:39,120
He just did that from 30, 35 yards out.

1985
01:52:39,120 --> 01:52:43,120
And you're still giving him space to have these attempts from outside the area.

1986
01:52:43,120 --> 01:52:49,120
So a little bit concerning defending there by Spezia.

1987
01:52:49,120 --> 01:52:53,120
It was then Inzola that scored thanks to a home assist.

1988
01:52:53,120 --> 01:52:59,120
So a home crossed the ball with a low cross to Inzola who half-vollied past Audero.

1989
01:52:59,120 --> 01:53:03,120
Dragovski then had a double save on Gabbiadini and Sabiri,

1990
01:53:03,120 --> 01:53:06,120
but to be honest both of them were quite central at him.

1991
01:53:06,120 --> 01:53:10,120
And Dragovski then had a fantastic save to deny Qualiarella in a 1-1 scenario

1992
01:53:10,120 --> 01:53:13,120
where he came out well and made himself big.

1993
01:53:13,120 --> 01:53:16,120
It was a good display for goalkeepers.

1994
01:53:16,120 --> 01:53:19,120
This week as Dragovski also had a very good performance here.

1995
01:53:19,120 --> 01:53:21,120
Seven saves, Dragovski.

1996
01:53:21,120 --> 01:53:23,120
There you go. Massive performance.

1997
01:53:23,120 --> 01:53:26,120
Keeping the minute.

1998
01:53:26,120 --> 01:53:30,120
Spezia, man, these guys have been playing together for like three seasons, four seasons.

1999
01:53:30,120 --> 01:53:33,120
Now the same faces, you know, Simone and Zaghi, Girozzi, Inzola.

2000
01:53:33,120 --> 01:53:35,120
These guys are the spine.

2001
01:53:35,120 --> 01:53:37,120
Simone and Zaghi.

2002
01:53:37,120 --> 01:53:41,120
Sorry, Simone and Zaghi.

2003
01:53:41,120 --> 01:53:45,120
Might as well come and coach this team.

2004
01:53:45,120 --> 01:53:52,120
Luca Gotti is a good manager and he's given them like a new lease of life almost.

2005
01:53:52,120 --> 01:53:54,120
They're gathering a lot of points early on these guys.

2006
01:53:54,120 --> 01:53:56,120
Man, Spezia this season.

2007
01:53:56,120 --> 01:53:57,120
They're having a good start, man.

2008
01:53:57,120 --> 01:54:01,120
They are currently on, I don't want to spoil it because I'll tell you guys,

2009
01:54:01,120 --> 01:54:04,120
but they're on eight points out of seven matches, which isn't bad.

2010
01:54:04,120 --> 01:54:06,120
Yeah, that's decent for them. That's very good.

2011
01:54:06,120 --> 01:54:11,120
For a team every season, every season they are contenders for relegation.

2012
01:54:11,120 --> 01:54:14,120
Are they ever really like though?

2013
01:54:14,120 --> 01:54:15,120
That's true. That's true, man.

2014
01:54:15,120 --> 01:54:20,120
They've become experts of survival and experts of winning against all odds.

2015
01:54:20,120 --> 01:54:24,120
And even here, man, Sampdoria had more shots.

2016
01:54:24,120 --> 01:54:27,120
Yeah, but they've never even gotten close to relegation.

2017
01:54:27,120 --> 01:54:33,120
Like in the final days of last season, they were safe.

2018
01:54:33,120 --> 01:54:34,120
They were safe, it's true.

2019
01:54:34,120 --> 01:54:36,120
The season before that, they were safe.

2020
01:54:36,120 --> 01:54:38,120
They had beaten Milan, remember?

2021
01:54:38,120 --> 01:54:40,120
No, they...

2022
01:54:40,120 --> 01:54:43,120
Hold your own, get relegated now.

2023
01:54:43,120 --> 01:54:46,120
I don't think they will, man. Straight up.

2024
01:54:46,120 --> 01:54:48,120
I had them in my original prediction.

2025
01:54:48,120 --> 01:54:53,120
It's so confusing because it might be Sampdoria, man,

2026
01:54:53,120 --> 01:54:57,120
unless they go for the January, like Pacey Winger or Pacey Striker.

2027
01:54:57,120 --> 01:55:00,120
They just need someone to connect that midfield to the attack.

2028
01:55:00,120 --> 01:55:02,120
They need someone with a bit of fucking mobility in them.

2029
01:55:02,120 --> 01:55:06,120
I have a point here. They had Sensi last year. That was brilliant.

2030
01:55:06,120 --> 01:55:08,120
He was a brilliant solution.

2031
01:55:08,120 --> 01:55:14,120
And Kandreva as well.

2032
01:55:14,120 --> 01:55:21,120
But Sampdoria, bro, are basically relegated unless they sack Gianpaolo tomorrow.

2033
01:55:21,120 --> 01:55:23,120
They have the international break coming up.

2034
01:55:23,120 --> 01:55:29,120
That's a two-week period where they don't have too many players out on international duty.

2035
01:55:29,120 --> 01:55:35,120
They could have two weeks under new management, get to know the team.

2036
01:55:35,120 --> 01:55:41,120
I know two weeks still isn't ideal when the season has already commenced,

2037
01:55:41,120 --> 01:55:43,120
but it's better than just throwing them into the fray.

2038
01:55:43,120 --> 01:55:45,120
OK, and you've got a game in five days.

2039
01:55:45,120 --> 01:55:48,120
He's got two weeks. He could train with the team a little bit.

2040
01:55:48,120 --> 01:55:50,120
He could get to know them.

2041
01:55:50,120 --> 01:55:52,120
Maybe now is a good opportunity to do so.

2042
01:55:52,120 --> 01:55:54,120
I don't think they'll sack him.

2043
01:55:54,120 --> 01:55:56,120
I think the company believes in him.

2044
01:55:56,120 --> 01:56:00,120
He's a guy who did very well with them in the past as well.

2045
01:56:00,120 --> 01:56:04,120
I think he'll remain until it gets really ugly and then they'll sack him.

2046
01:56:04,120 --> 01:56:06,120
It's going to get uglier than this, so...

2047
01:56:06,120 --> 01:56:08,120
I think so. It's still early on.

2048
01:56:08,120 --> 01:56:12,120
It can totally get way worse, especially if the teams around them keep picking up points.

2049
01:56:12,120 --> 01:56:14,120
We saw many first wins this weekend.

2050
01:56:14,120 --> 01:56:16,120
Mm-hm.

2051
01:56:16,120 --> 01:56:21,120
I haven't seen one for Sampdoria yet on two draws only.

2052
01:56:21,120 --> 01:56:24,120
Two draws, five losses.

2053
01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:25,120
Man.

2054
01:56:25,120 --> 01:56:27,120
Jampala at the hand.

2055
01:56:27,120 --> 01:56:30,120
Nzola, bro, by the way, last season had two goals scored.

2056
01:56:30,120 --> 01:56:32,120
This season here, they have three.

2057
01:56:32,120 --> 01:56:33,120
There you go. Nzola.

2058
01:56:33,120 --> 01:56:35,120
It's a good start for him.

2059
01:56:35,120 --> 01:56:37,120
You take him on Fanta again?

2060
01:56:37,120 --> 01:56:39,120
Definitely not.

2061
01:56:39,120 --> 01:56:41,120
After what happened the first time.

2062
01:56:41,120 --> 01:56:43,120
He took him and he stopped scoring, right?

2063
01:56:43,120 --> 01:56:45,120
Exactly.

2064
01:56:45,120 --> 01:56:47,120
Faith is in our hands always.

2065
01:56:47,120 --> 01:56:50,120
Like Milan lost to Napoli because I was wearing a Milan kit while watching it.

2066
01:56:50,120 --> 01:56:52,120
You know this.

2067
01:56:52,120 --> 01:56:54,120
You know this.

2068
01:56:54,120 --> 01:56:59,120
Spezia in 12th on eight points while Sampdoria are dead last with two points.

2069
01:56:59,120 --> 01:57:03,120
Guys, you have no idea the technical difficulties we've had in this episode.

2070
01:57:03,120 --> 01:57:05,120
It's been very frustrating.

2071
01:57:05,120 --> 01:57:07,120
We're sorry if the energy has dipped.

2072
01:57:07,120 --> 01:57:08,120
Yeah.

2073
01:57:08,120 --> 01:57:11,120
I for one, I'm livid.

2074
01:57:11,120 --> 01:57:18,120
Imagine guys, we'd be recording and suddenly the wave form things start fucking up.

2075
01:57:18,120 --> 01:57:20,120
And Matthias goes up, it's fucking up, it's fucking up.

2076
01:57:20,120 --> 01:57:23,120
We listen back and we're talking like this.

2077
01:57:23,120 --> 01:57:25,120
And it just speeds up like this.

2078
01:57:25,120 --> 01:57:27,120
Hopefully it doesn't do that at random moments.

2079
01:57:27,120 --> 01:57:28,120
Hey man.

2080
01:57:28,120 --> 01:57:29,120
Hey.

2081
01:57:29,120 --> 01:57:30,120
Oh good.

2082
01:57:30,120 --> 01:57:31,120
But fuck it.

2083
01:57:31,120 --> 01:57:35,120
Let us know if you've noticed any difference in sound quality or whatever.

2084
01:57:35,120 --> 01:57:41,120
Remember to give us a nice little cheeky follow on Instagram, Twitter and TikTok.

2085
01:57:41,120 --> 01:57:43,120
Rate us wherever you're listening.

2086
01:57:43,120 --> 01:57:48,120
Two week international break now, but we'll make sure we give you some form of content to consume.

2087
01:57:48,120 --> 01:57:52,120
You content hungry dogs.

2088
01:57:52,120 --> 01:57:55,120
But that's pretty much from our end.

2089
01:57:55,120 --> 01:58:00,120
I know two weeks without culture is a terrible thing, but do try to be productive.

2090
01:58:00,120 --> 01:58:06,120
Go see the outside world, walk barefoot places and enjoy nature and shit.

2091
01:58:06,120 --> 01:58:08,120
Do mushrooms.

2092
01:58:08,120 --> 01:58:10,120
Anything from you, Jake?

2093
01:58:10,120 --> 01:58:11,120
Nothing man.

2094
01:58:11,120 --> 01:58:13,120
Enjoy the international football.

2095
01:58:13,120 --> 01:58:15,120
Enjoy the break from Syria.

2096
01:58:15,120 --> 01:58:17,120
And we'll see you shortly.

2097
01:58:17,120 --> 01:58:19,120
We'll see you shortly guys.

2098
01:58:19,120 --> 01:58:31,120
Ciao ciao.
