1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:04,560
He's looking for the throw for Candreva, good hook in the air, touch-and-go Candreva!

2
00:00:04,560 --> 00:00:06,560
Candreva!

3
00:00:06,560 --> 00:00:11,200
A wonderful goal from the Olympian, 1-1!

4
00:00:14,880 --> 00:00:20,960
Hello and welcome to Seiya Spotlight Season 2 Episode 12, we are hosting Jake and Matt

5
00:00:20,960 --> 00:00:24,800
here to take you through all the events of Matchday 12 in Seiya.

6
00:00:24,800 --> 00:00:28,080
Happy Halloween guys, a very happy Halloween to all of you.

7
00:00:28,080 --> 00:00:33,440
I'm sorry that we delayed the last episode, actually we didn't record the last episode, but

8
00:00:33,440 --> 00:00:36,960
the person to my right was absolutely dead.

9
00:00:36,960 --> 00:00:42,800
Yes, I was incredibly sick. I think one of the worst illnesses I've had in my life,

10
00:00:42,800 --> 00:00:46,960
I had an infection in my intestine guys and it wasn't pretty.

11
00:00:48,000 --> 00:00:53,440
I was on the couch trying to play some FIFA, you know, since we didn't record obviously,

12
00:00:53,440 --> 00:00:57,280
Jake was dying, he was asleep on the sofa. I said fuck it, I can catch up with my

13
00:00:57,280 --> 00:01:02,560
Venezia career mode. Start playing, all of a sudden Jake starts puking into a bucket like,

14
00:01:04,080 --> 00:01:05,680
I'm off, like I can't do this.

15
00:01:05,680 --> 00:01:07,120
With a whole lot of this in between.

16
00:01:10,960 --> 00:01:17,280
You were giving me so much anxiety man. So that was the reason guys, we contemplated me doing a

17
00:01:17,280 --> 00:01:21,440
solo episode, but fuck that for your sake.

18
00:01:21,440 --> 00:01:23,680
I've attempted that before, it's no fun bro.

19
00:01:23,680 --> 00:01:28,400
Exactly, even though in between puking you were still trying to get me to do it.

20
00:01:28,400 --> 00:01:33,440
Yes, I was trying my best anything for the listeners, and we prepped, we prepped,

21
00:01:33,440 --> 00:01:38,960
that's the annoying thing. We had all the prep work done, I just wasn't fit to record.

22
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:43,760
And it was such a good week man, it was such a good week of football, so many big games.

23
00:01:44,320 --> 00:01:46,720
No problem, this is an even better week of football.

24
00:01:46,720 --> 00:01:48,400
This is an even better one.

25
00:01:48,400 --> 00:01:51,280
Our goal of the week goes to Condeva.

26
00:01:51,280 --> 00:01:51,920
Agreed.

27
00:01:51,920 --> 00:01:57,120
Fantastic goal against Lazio for Salernitana, their 3-1 victory.

28
00:01:58,240 --> 00:02:03,040
Matsoki played a long ball to him over the top, he took it down perfectly, and with the second

29
00:02:03,040 --> 00:02:07,920
touch he saw the goalkeeper off his line and just chipped it perfectly right over him.

30
00:02:07,920 --> 00:02:13,200
What a goal. Go check it out if you hadn't, he was fucking literally grinning from ear to ear man.

31
00:02:13,200 --> 00:02:17,200
Exactly, and it was against his former team, so he couldn't celebrate, but he was smiling.

32
00:02:17,200 --> 00:02:17,760
Exactly.

33
00:02:17,760 --> 00:02:24,800
He just stood there smiling. Now, great honourable mentions go to Correa for a solo wonder strike,

34
00:02:24,800 --> 00:02:28,320
he basically took on two players, carried the ball from his own half,

35
00:02:28,320 --> 00:02:33,520
bashed it into the top corner from distance, that would normally be a goal of the week,

36
00:02:33,520 --> 00:02:37,600
but when you see a stroke of genius, such a strategic finish, like I think you have to

37
00:02:37,600 --> 00:02:43,440
give him the cake. And there was also Barella, who also took a long ball down beautifully,

38
00:02:43,440 --> 00:02:48,000
a bastoni long ball, he took the ball down with one leg and then just counted it into

39
00:02:48,000 --> 00:02:51,360
the roof of the net with the other one. On another level these guys.

40
00:02:51,360 --> 00:02:54,480
Yeah man, yeah. But onto our bet.

41
00:02:54,480 --> 00:03:02,720
Serie A spotlight slips, we lost. We bet that Atalanta would win or draw versus Empoli,

42
00:03:02,720 --> 00:03:08,320
given Empoli's tendency of drawing 1-1 against virtually any opponent.

43
00:03:08,320 --> 00:03:12,000
And their history against Atalanta, we saw it wasn't like their last match.

44
00:03:12,000 --> 00:03:16,880
This fixture last season was an Empoli victory, and I know it's a different Empoli,

45
00:03:16,880 --> 00:03:23,520
it was Empoli against Andrea Azzoli, it was Atalanta against Gasparini's first version

46
00:03:23,520 --> 00:03:28,160
and not his second version, but yeah, history does tend to repeat itself no matter what.

47
00:03:28,160 --> 00:03:32,000
For sure, and that's why we were a bit hesitant over here, and we've seen how

48
00:03:32,480 --> 00:03:38,800
Udinese have been doing and we bet for them to beat Cremona as outright, probably one of the

49
00:03:38,800 --> 00:03:45,600
worst teams in the league at the moment, especially defensively. But yeah, unfortunately Udinese,

50
00:03:45,600 --> 00:03:51,680
Cremona came nil-nil. Yeah, in the Eze derby, we knew something was brewing for the Eze derby.

51
00:03:52,560 --> 00:03:56,560
We didn't think it was going to be a nil-nil, we didn't think so, we were like ah, when it was

52
00:03:56,560 --> 00:04:00,160
like the 65th minute we're still kind of chill, we're like ah, because Udinese got their work

53
00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:01,840
done in the 70th, no? Exactly.

54
00:04:01,840 --> 00:04:04,960
Just didn't get their work done, they just looked frustrated the entire game.

55
00:04:04,960 --> 00:04:06,720
I think they were left out at the end.

56
00:04:06,720 --> 00:04:09,760
Mad don now with the last kick off the fucking game.

57
00:04:09,760 --> 00:04:13,840
Ah, it's okay. 25 euro, going strong.

58
00:04:13,840 --> 00:04:15,520
Exactly, wink wink.

59
00:04:15,520 --> 00:04:21,280
So guys, if you want to stay up to date with our bets, our social media, our content, things like

60
00:04:21,280 --> 00:04:26,720
that, you can follow us on Instagram, TikTok or Twitter, at say our spotlight, and please be sure

61
00:04:26,720 --> 00:04:31,680
to rate us 5 stars on the podcasting platform you listen to us on.

62
00:04:31,680 --> 00:04:37,200
Exactly, before we get into it guys, as per usual, just gonna take you through the 10 matches that

63
00:04:37,200 --> 00:04:42,160
we're gonna be covering. The first one we're gonna be covering is Napoli's walkover of Sasuolo,

64
00:04:42,160 --> 00:04:49,040
4-0 there at the Stadio Diego Armando Maradona. The second game was the bet that we actually

65
00:04:49,040 --> 00:04:54,240
got right, it was empoli nil at Atalanta 2. The third game is one that hopefully we won't be

66
00:04:54,240 --> 00:04:59,680
addressing for too long, it was Torino 2-1 Milan, that was a pure Halloween nightmare.

67
00:04:59,680 --> 00:05:06,880
Verona 1, Roma 3, Roma left it late but they managed to get the W. Lazio 1, Salernitana 3,

68
00:05:06,880 --> 00:05:12,960
probably the most shocking result this time round. Inter 3, Sampdoria nil, another Halloween

69
00:05:12,960 --> 00:05:19,440
nightmare. Lecce nil, Juve 1, Juve do it in Juve fashion. Cremona nil, Udinese nil in the

70
00:05:19,440 --> 00:05:25,280
Eze derby. Spezia 1, Fiorentina 2, Fiorentina back to winning ways. And to end things off,

71
00:05:25,280 --> 00:05:28,080
it's Monza 1, Bologna 2.

72
00:05:28,080 --> 00:05:34,320
And before jumping into the action just to make sure we get everything right this time,

73
00:05:34,320 --> 00:05:40,080
our boy Pablo, a very loyal listener, day one listener literally, has sent us a voice note

74
00:05:40,720 --> 00:05:44,720
explaining to us how to pronounce certain Dutch player names.

75
00:05:44,720 --> 00:05:49,360
Exactly, so we're going to take it as a bit of a lesson and we're going to educate you guys while

76
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:53,120
we're being educated. So let's learn together and let's try this out.

77
00:05:53,120 --> 00:05:55,840
And please remember, repeat after Pablo.

78
00:05:55,840 --> 00:06:03,200
Exactly. Hello guys, I'm listening to your podcast right now. I love it. It's great as always.

79
00:06:04,000 --> 00:06:09,600
Super interesting. And I thought, you know, in case you're interested, I could

80
00:06:11,760 --> 00:06:16,960
pronounce some Dutch player names for you. Because I noticed understandably, of course,

81
00:06:18,000 --> 00:06:24,000
they can be a bit hard to pronounce for people who don't speak Dutch. So let's start with

82
00:06:24,000 --> 00:06:37,600
Atalanta. You have De Roon, Koopminers and Koopminers. Is it Koop? Koopminers?

83
00:06:37,600 --> 00:06:40,160
Koopminers. I think it's Koop.

84
00:06:40,160 --> 00:06:41,200
Okay, Koopminers.

85
00:06:42,480 --> 00:06:43,360
It's Haterboer.

86
00:06:44,000 --> 00:06:44,640
Okay.

87
00:06:44,640 --> 00:06:45,440
Haterboer.

88
00:06:45,440 --> 00:06:46,400
Hans Haterboer.

89
00:06:47,920 --> 00:06:49,120
Then you have De Vrij.

90
00:06:50,000 --> 00:06:50,560
De Vrij.

91
00:06:50,560 --> 00:06:51,280
De Vrij.

92
00:06:52,080 --> 00:06:53,280
De Vrij.

93
00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:54,000
De Vrij.

94
00:06:55,200 --> 00:06:56,000
I'm not sure.

95
00:06:57,680 --> 00:07:00,480
Let's try it again. De Vrij.

96
00:07:01,760 --> 00:07:02,880
No, it's perfect.

97
00:07:02,880 --> 00:07:03,440
Thank you.

98
00:07:05,520 --> 00:07:06,480
And Dumfries.

99
00:07:07,520 --> 00:07:08,480
Dumfries.

100
00:07:08,480 --> 00:07:09,200
Dumfries.

101
00:07:10,960 --> 00:07:16,720
At Inter. And then there is, I think now there is Zergzee.

102
00:07:17,760 --> 00:07:18,560
Zergzee.

103
00:07:18,560 --> 00:07:20,880
Zergzee. Okay. Zergzee.

104
00:07:20,880 --> 00:07:21,380
Same.

105
00:07:21,380 --> 00:07:26,740
Bologna. Yeah, those are the players that I can think of right now.

106
00:07:26,740 --> 00:07:30,740
And I just noticed Schuurs from Torino.

107
00:07:30,740 --> 00:07:32,340
Schuurs.

108
00:07:32,340 --> 00:07:33,460
Schuurs.

109
00:07:33,460 --> 00:07:34,020
Schuurs.

110
00:07:34,020 --> 00:07:34,820
Schuurs.

111
00:07:35,940 --> 00:07:42,180
And I thought of, he's Belgian but it's a Dutch name, De Keetelaren from Mena.

112
00:07:42,180 --> 00:07:42,580
Okay.

113
00:07:42,580 --> 00:07:43,540
De Keetelaren.

114
00:07:43,540 --> 00:07:44,820
De Keetelaren.

115
00:07:44,820 --> 00:07:45,700
De Keetelaren.

116
00:07:47,620 --> 00:07:48,420
How do you feel?

117
00:07:48,420 --> 00:07:51,860
To be honest, I'm still kind of mesmerized by Pablo's beautiful voice.

118
00:07:51,860 --> 00:07:54,020
He has a very calming voice.

119
00:07:55,220 --> 00:07:59,860
I need him as a therapist just to calm me down, speak some sense into me.

120
00:08:00,740 --> 00:08:04,500
If you take that service, Pablo, hit us up.

121
00:08:04,500 --> 00:08:05,380
Yes, please.

122
00:08:05,380 --> 00:08:08,180
And even if you do some audiobooks or things, please let me know.

123
00:08:10,260 --> 00:08:13,380
I would love to just, you know, change.

124
00:08:15,460 --> 00:08:17,860
You know, start like implementing these.

125
00:08:17,860 --> 00:08:19,940
I think the only one realistically I can.

126
00:08:20,980 --> 00:08:23,460
I'm going to say Dumfries every time I speak.

127
00:08:24,980 --> 00:08:27,300
Dumfries, this isn't natural to me at all.

128
00:08:27,300 --> 00:08:27,940
You know what I mean?

129
00:08:27,940 --> 00:08:30,100
Like I'll try to say it for example.

130
00:08:30,100 --> 00:08:33,460
It's more the accents, like the Devrey.

131
00:08:34,900 --> 00:08:37,540
It's those that simply don't roll off the tongue for me.

132
00:08:37,540 --> 00:08:41,940
And I feel like I'd be making too much effort every single time I say someone's name.

133
00:08:41,940 --> 00:08:46,580
Like how many times have we been told that it's the De Keetelaren, De Keetelaren.

134
00:08:46,580 --> 00:08:48,180
I just De Keeteler.

135
00:08:48,180 --> 00:08:48,980
You know what I mean?

136
00:08:48,980 --> 00:08:50,740
Because it rolls off the tongue.

137
00:08:52,100 --> 00:08:52,900
Yeah, we can try.

138
00:08:52,900 --> 00:08:55,140
I like Zerg Zay.

139
00:08:55,140 --> 00:08:56,740
Zerg Zay is wicked.

140
00:08:56,740 --> 00:08:58,260
I like Zerg Zay.

141
00:08:58,260 --> 00:08:59,940
It makes it sound way more fun.

142
00:08:59,940 --> 00:09:00,420
It's true.

143
00:09:00,980 --> 00:09:03,300
But yeah, that's a nice little lesson.

144
00:09:03,300 --> 00:09:04,340
Thank you very much, Pablo.

145
00:09:04,340 --> 00:09:05,140
Thank you, Pablo.

146
00:09:05,140 --> 00:09:06,500
Really appreciate you, bro.

147
00:09:06,500 --> 00:09:07,140
Exactly.

148
00:09:08,660 --> 00:09:11,140
Napoli 4, Sasuolo nil.

149
00:09:11,140 --> 00:09:12,340
Right into it.

150
00:09:12,340 --> 00:09:13,620
Straight into it.

151
00:09:13,620 --> 00:09:16,820
Fucking annihilation at the Maradona.

152
00:09:16,820 --> 00:09:19,780
Fucking they need to calm down these guys, man.

153
00:09:19,780 --> 00:09:20,420
Yeah, man.

154
00:09:20,420 --> 00:09:22,980
I guess how much they came in their previous encounter, these guys.

155
00:09:24,180 --> 00:09:25,780
6-1 to Napoli.

156
00:09:25,780 --> 00:09:26,740
Fuck, man.

157
00:09:26,740 --> 00:09:29,780
Sasuolo scored when they were 6-0 down that game.

158
00:09:29,780 --> 00:09:32,180
I don't know how the hell they found it in themselves.

159
00:09:32,180 --> 00:09:32,980
Legends.

160
00:09:32,980 --> 00:09:39,700
But anyway, Napoli, bro, are unbeaten in their last 16 Serie A matches.

161
00:09:39,700 --> 00:09:44,260
This is the longest ongoing streak in Europe's top five leagues.

162
00:09:44,980 --> 00:09:46,980
You know when this fucking streak began?

163
00:09:48,340 --> 00:09:53,300
The streak must have began last season towards the end, no?

164
00:09:54,020 --> 00:09:56,340
When they beat Sasuolo 6-1.

165
00:09:56,340 --> 00:09:57,620
Oh my God.

166
00:09:57,620 --> 00:09:58,900
Oh my God.

167
00:09:58,900 --> 00:10:00,340
We've come full circle, baby.

168
00:10:00,340 --> 00:10:01,140
Amazing.

169
00:10:01,140 --> 00:10:02,820
Yeah, great content, bro.

170
00:10:02,820 --> 00:10:03,620
Thank you very much.

171
00:10:03,620 --> 00:10:07,860
So Napoli lined up with Marettingo, their usual 4-3-3 formation.

172
00:10:07,860 --> 00:10:11,780
Di Lorenzo on the right and the best player in the world on the left with Mario Rui.

173
00:10:11,780 --> 00:10:16,180
Ming-Jae Kim and Juan Jesus formed the center-back duo.

174
00:10:16,180 --> 00:10:22,020
The midfield three were Zelinski, Lobotka and Anguissa with Gvaratzkelia on the left,

175
00:10:22,020 --> 00:10:25,060
Lozano on the right and Victor Ozyman in the middle.

176
00:10:25,060 --> 00:10:25,780
Madonna.

177
00:10:25,780 --> 00:10:26,580
Yeah.

178
00:10:27,380 --> 00:10:31,540
Sasuolo also with a 4-3-3 formation, but much worse.

179
00:10:31,540 --> 00:10:37,940
Conceivi, N'Gol, Tolyan and Rogério out wide with Ferrari and Erlich at the back.

180
00:10:37,940 --> 00:10:40,900
Frattesi, Lopez and Torzvet were in the middle.

181
00:10:40,900 --> 00:10:44,980
Pinamonte up front with Seide and Laurent.

182
00:10:44,980 --> 00:10:46,180
Laurent?

183
00:10:46,180 --> 00:10:47,860
We need more lessons.

184
00:10:47,860 --> 00:10:48,820
Yeah, we need more lessons.

185
00:10:48,820 --> 00:10:50,180
Lauriente, I guess.

186
00:10:50,180 --> 00:10:52,500
Lauriente, yes, out wide.

187
00:10:53,700 --> 00:10:55,380
Great game, to be honest.

188
00:10:55,380 --> 00:10:59,940
It started off with, you know how typically we always say the game started off with Rahman

189
00:10:59,940 --> 00:11:02,340
charging down the middle and smashing the crossbar.

190
00:11:02,340 --> 00:11:05,220
It started exactly the same way, but this time D'Lorenzo scored.

191
00:11:05,220 --> 00:11:06,980
It was just four minutes down.

192
00:11:06,980 --> 00:11:12,900
D'Lorenzo charged down the right, crossed it into the area to find Gvaratzkelia who

193
00:11:12,900 --> 00:11:17,220
flicked it in the air to Ozyman at the far post to control that acrobatically brilliant

194
00:11:17,220 --> 00:11:19,780
control and tapped it in home.

195
00:11:19,780 --> 00:11:25,860
Obviously, Moskov instantly for Ozyman, you know, celebrations, straight to the fans.

196
00:11:25,860 --> 00:11:30,500
Shambolic defending over here by Saswal, of course, they allowed more space, Ozyman completely

197
00:11:30,500 --> 00:11:31,780
free at the far post.

198
00:11:31,780 --> 00:11:35,220
This will prove to be a theme as the game progresses.

199
00:11:35,220 --> 00:11:36,420
1-0 Napoli.

200
00:11:36,420 --> 00:11:39,220
Shortly after this, Mario Rui got the ball from a distance.

201
00:11:39,220 --> 00:11:45,540
He chopped and had it, blasting the ball, which is fingertip saved by Concelli onto

202
00:11:45,540 --> 00:11:47,780
the crossbar and out.

203
00:11:47,780 --> 00:11:50,100
That would have been some go through.

204
00:11:50,100 --> 00:11:56,260
In the 19th minute, Gvaratzkelia terrorized the right, dressed like Stalin.

205
00:11:56,260 --> 00:11:59,540
He squared it to Ozyman who tapped it in.

206
00:11:59,540 --> 00:12:00,820
2-0 Napoli.

207
00:12:00,820 --> 00:12:05,860
In the 36th minute, Mario Rui gave an amazing ball over the top to Gvaratzkelia who took

208
00:12:05,860 --> 00:12:07,460
a great touch and slammed it home.

209
00:12:07,460 --> 00:12:10,740
This time it was his turn to score.

210
00:12:10,740 --> 00:12:11,780
He was on.

211
00:12:11,780 --> 00:12:14,340
He got one goal and two assists this game.

212
00:12:14,340 --> 00:12:17,380
Quite an amazing performance by him.

213
00:12:17,380 --> 00:12:22,100
By the 38th minute, they were just crossing the ball to Gvaratzkelia on the edge of the

214
00:12:22,100 --> 00:12:24,340
area and he was trying acrobatic finishes.

215
00:12:24,340 --> 00:12:27,620
They did this like three or four times.

216
00:12:27,620 --> 00:12:35,300
It's quite crazy the amount of freedom Saswala gave Napoli.

217
00:12:35,300 --> 00:12:42,340
But anyway, towards Vett, he had an empty post rebound and he missed it.

218
00:12:42,340 --> 00:12:46,340
Shortly after, he could have gotten them back into the game or given them a chance to score

219
00:12:46,340 --> 00:12:51,620
but in reality, it was long gone.

220
00:12:51,620 --> 00:12:54,100
Fratezi had a 1-1-ish situation.

221
00:12:54,100 --> 00:12:59,140
He had to snap shot but the shot was central.

222
00:12:59,140 --> 00:13:04,980
Eventually Traore played the ball back into the path of Ozyman who was through on goal.

223
00:13:04,980 --> 00:13:10,140
He tripped the goalkeeper to get his first ever Serie A hat-trick.

224
00:13:10,140 --> 00:13:11,140
Amazing.

225
00:13:11,140 --> 00:13:12,140
4-0 Napoli.

226
00:13:12,140 --> 00:13:13,360
Victor Ozyman.

227
00:13:13,360 --> 00:13:16,180
He was against Johan Fanta as well.

228
00:13:16,180 --> 00:13:20,180
He was against me on one of them and on my team on the other.

229
00:13:20,180 --> 00:13:21,180
Nice.

230
00:13:21,180 --> 00:13:23,940
And I told you before the game, Ozyman hat-trick.

231
00:13:23,940 --> 00:13:25,580
Do you remember?

232
00:13:25,580 --> 00:13:27,860
It was before he even scored the single goal.

233
00:13:27,860 --> 00:13:30,020
Four minutes in, we're like, okay, it's happening.

234
00:13:30,020 --> 00:13:31,380
Ozyman's first hat-trick.

235
00:13:31,380 --> 00:13:34,300
See, our spotlight slipped.

236
00:13:34,300 --> 00:13:41,540
In the 84th minute, I forgot to mention, Lorente had a very late tackle on Denmen and he got

237
00:13:41,540 --> 00:13:43,940
a red card for it.

238
00:13:43,940 --> 00:13:46,740
But yeah, bro, what do you think of the game?

239
00:13:46,740 --> 00:13:53,900
I mean, like you said, it doesn't seem like it's either Sassuolo did not adapt correctly

240
00:13:53,900 --> 00:13:57,980
to Napoli's system, the way Napoli play.

241
00:13:57,980 --> 00:14:02,180
But then, you know, it could very much be that either they weren't prepared or else

242
00:14:02,180 --> 00:14:06,580
when the game started, they were simply overwhelmed by the amount of quality and the amount of

243
00:14:06,580 --> 00:14:11,340
speed and creativity that Napoli have in their team.

244
00:14:11,340 --> 00:14:15,380
The way Napoli shift play from one side to another and the amount of pace they have on

245
00:14:15,380 --> 00:14:20,020
each flank and the amount of creativity they have with players like Lobotkang, Wisza and

246
00:14:20,020 --> 00:14:23,580
Zielinski in the middle, they're just absolutely unstoppable at the moment.

247
00:14:23,580 --> 00:14:27,540
And if they keep on going on at this rate, they could genuinely go down as one of the

248
00:14:27,540 --> 00:14:31,060
greatest sides we've seen in Serie A, at least in recent history.

249
00:14:31,060 --> 00:14:36,780
They've looked fantastic and Sassuolo have made some serious strides when it comes to

250
00:14:36,780 --> 00:14:40,340
their defense, when it comes to building out the back.

251
00:14:40,340 --> 00:14:43,500
They didn't have any time to showcase any of that in the game.

252
00:14:43,500 --> 00:14:47,780
I mean, by the time it was the 36th minute, they were losing 3-0.

253
00:14:47,780 --> 00:14:53,740
Gvarackelia was already on two assists and a goal and Ozyman was already on two goals.

254
00:14:53,740 --> 00:14:57,660
Unstoppable, nothing Sassuolo could have done, nothing they could have done.

255
00:14:57,660 --> 00:15:04,420
Yes, bro, and even though it sounds like you're being almost, it's almost like you're excusing

256
00:15:04,420 --> 00:15:07,420
Sassuolo, you're not the only one to do so.

257
00:15:07,420 --> 00:15:15,060
Giannini kind of had the same thing during the post-match interview.

258
00:15:15,060 --> 00:15:20,500
He basically said that they deserved to lose, but they didn't deserve to go down to 10.

259
00:15:20,500 --> 00:15:25,140
And that was basically his main point, like that the red card was undeserved.

260
00:15:25,140 --> 00:15:29,700
To be honest, it was harsh, but certain angles looked worse.

261
00:15:29,700 --> 00:15:33,900
And he also said that Thors Vett is adapting slowly.

262
00:15:33,900 --> 00:15:38,180
And when they asked him like, what about Ozyman just running rampant against your defense?

263
00:15:38,180 --> 00:15:41,420
He said, doesn't Ozyman run rampant against everyone?

264
00:15:41,420 --> 00:15:45,100
To which he's right, but this was his first ever Serie A hat-trick.

265
00:15:45,100 --> 00:15:46,780
Yeah, it was.

266
00:15:46,780 --> 00:15:52,380
I think it's been coming a long time, Ozyman's first hat-trick.

267
00:15:52,380 --> 00:15:58,300
But yeah, I mean, everything he says is pretty much bang on and bear in mind Sassuolo, quite

268
00:15:58,300 --> 00:15:59,700
a deflated side as well.

269
00:15:59,700 --> 00:16:00,980
You look at their front three.

270
00:16:00,980 --> 00:16:05,660
That's not the front three we're used to seeing, Sadie on one side, Loriento on the other,

271
00:16:05,660 --> 00:16:07,140
Pinamonte up front.

272
00:16:07,140 --> 00:16:11,420
I mean, Berardi, Traore, you know what I mean?

273
00:16:11,420 --> 00:16:13,740
So quite a deflated side as well.

274
00:16:13,740 --> 00:16:18,700
Normally Sassuolo are capable of putting a lot of pressure on the opposition and kind

275
00:16:18,700 --> 00:16:21,500
of utilize their front three to the best of their abilities.

276
00:16:21,500 --> 00:16:24,940
They've done this from season to season.

277
00:16:24,940 --> 00:16:29,380
And even this season, even though their front three is significantly worse than it has been

278
00:16:29,380 --> 00:16:30,380
in the past.

279
00:16:30,380 --> 00:16:33,580
Again, they just didn't have the opportunity to showcase that.

280
00:16:33,580 --> 00:16:39,620
I mean, when they did half possession, which was only 33% ball possession, they had it

281
00:16:39,620 --> 00:16:40,660
in their half.

282
00:16:40,660 --> 00:16:42,140
They had it when they were trying to recover.

283
00:16:42,140 --> 00:16:44,220
And Napoli didn't let them do anything.

284
00:16:44,220 --> 00:16:49,180
Sure, they got 10 shots away, but fucking none of them even posed any threat on Meret's

285
00:16:49,180 --> 00:16:50,180
goal.

286
00:16:50,180 --> 00:16:52,180
Honestly, yeah.

287
00:16:52,180 --> 00:16:56,220
Ozyman's hat-trick means that he's now the joint top scorer with Arnautovic.

288
00:16:56,220 --> 00:17:00,980
7 just goes to show how well Arnautovic is doing if Ozyman just put three past Sassuolo

289
00:17:00,980 --> 00:17:05,420
for the most informed side in the league and he's only just caught up to Arnautovic.

290
00:17:05,420 --> 00:17:10,300
Gvaratskeli is on six goals this season already.

291
00:17:10,300 --> 00:17:11,300
Madonna.

292
00:17:11,300 --> 00:17:12,300
He's one behind Ozyman.

293
00:17:12,300 --> 00:17:14,940
One behind Ozyman, one behind Arnautovic.

294
00:17:14,940 --> 00:17:16,740
So yeah, that's quite crazy, man.

295
00:17:16,740 --> 00:17:21,140
In my opinion, man, they're playing more for Ozyman than they were last season.

296
00:17:21,140 --> 00:17:29,820
I mean, and that's the point we brought up about Juventus and Vlava last time.

297
00:17:29,820 --> 00:17:36,100
When you have a player who has those capabilities, fucking right, you need to adapt.

298
00:17:36,100 --> 00:17:40,620
You need to serve them because at the end of the day, you win games by scoring goals.

299
00:17:40,620 --> 00:17:45,100
Sure, you can't concede, but if you can fucking score goals, it gives you a way better chance

300
00:17:45,100 --> 00:17:46,100
than your opposition.

301
00:17:46,100 --> 00:17:49,700
The fact that you can score against anyone is crazy.

302
00:17:49,700 --> 00:17:51,620
Ozyman is one of those guys.

303
00:17:51,620 --> 00:17:53,420
He's a very well rounded forward.

304
00:17:53,420 --> 00:17:54,420
He's tall.

305
00:17:54,420 --> 00:17:55,420
He's good in the air.

306
00:17:55,420 --> 00:17:56,420
He's very quick.

307
00:17:56,420 --> 00:17:57,980
His runs off the ball are incredible.

308
00:17:57,980 --> 00:18:02,420
He's very, very strong and his finishing is excellent.

309
00:18:02,420 --> 00:18:04,580
You put him in position, he's going to score.

310
00:18:04,580 --> 00:18:07,340
It doesn't seem like he's ever been affected by form.

311
00:18:07,340 --> 00:18:13,060
The only kind of spell that he had where he was on lower form was his first season when

312
00:18:13,060 --> 00:18:20,060
he just came into Italy and he was this party animal fucking the COVID restrictions up the

313
00:18:20,060 --> 00:18:21,140
ass.

314
00:18:21,140 --> 00:18:22,900
But now he's settled in.

315
00:18:22,900 --> 00:18:26,900
He's had season after season where he's shown us he's literally top two strikers in the

316
00:18:26,900 --> 00:18:30,260
league and there's absolutely no debate about it, man.

317
00:18:30,260 --> 00:18:31,260
No debate.

318
00:18:31,260 --> 00:18:32,260
It's true, man.

319
00:18:32,260 --> 00:18:37,220
A bit of continuity, a bit more momentum and he'll be a scary thing.

320
00:18:37,220 --> 00:18:43,020
He's stopped very frequently and I think that's what delayed his Serie A hat-trick

321
00:18:43,020 --> 00:18:46,660
I mean, imagine he never broke his face.

322
00:18:46,660 --> 00:18:49,260
Imagine he never went through the whole COVID thing or his shoulder.

323
00:18:49,260 --> 00:18:50,260
Remember his shoulder?

324
00:18:50,260 --> 00:18:51,260
His shoulder as well.

325
00:18:51,260 --> 00:18:52,980
He was just injured as well, bro.

326
00:18:52,980 --> 00:18:56,540
He just came back and he's a joint top scorer.

327
00:18:56,540 --> 00:19:01,700
But yeah, he's honestly such a special, special talent.

328
00:19:01,700 --> 00:19:05,700
While we're on the topic of Napoli, I'd like to give a special shout out and thank you

329
00:19:05,700 --> 00:19:10,820
to Michaela, our listener who was at the Napoli game.

330
00:19:10,820 --> 00:19:12,300
She's a diehard Napoli fan.

331
00:19:12,300 --> 00:19:13,300
She sent us some...

332
00:19:13,300 --> 00:19:15,020
A real diehard, guys.

333
00:19:15,020 --> 00:19:16,020
A real diehard.

334
00:19:16,020 --> 00:19:18,820
She's the heart of that support of Napoli.

335
00:19:18,820 --> 00:19:21,620
Honestly, honestly, knows all the songs, everything.

336
00:19:21,620 --> 00:19:24,940
She sent us some great content that you can find on our Instagram.

337
00:19:24,940 --> 00:19:25,940
Thank you very much, Michaela.

338
00:19:25,940 --> 00:19:26,940
Thank you, Michaela.

339
00:19:26,940 --> 00:19:27,940
Thank you.

340
00:19:27,940 --> 00:19:33,980
Napoli are currently in first with 32 points, while Sassuolo currently sit in 11th with

341
00:19:33,980 --> 00:19:35,340
15 points.

342
00:19:35,340 --> 00:19:39,420
The next game we're going to be covering is Empoli nil Atalanta 2.

343
00:19:39,420 --> 00:19:44,380
So Empoli were coming off a 4-nil loss against Juve away from home, while Atalanta were coming

344
00:19:44,380 --> 00:19:52,300
off their first loss of the season, which was a 2-nil loss at home against Lazio.

345
00:19:52,300 --> 00:19:58,220
Empoli won this fixture 1-nil last year, but have overall failed to score in 60% of their

346
00:19:58,220 --> 00:20:04,100
matches at home to Atalanta, which is fucking bizarre.

347
00:20:04,100 --> 00:20:09,140
Going into the lineup, so Empoli were still missing Alberto Grassi and Lorenzo Tonelli,

348
00:20:09,140 --> 00:20:13,980
but they still lined up in their 4-3-3 formation with Vicario between the sticks.

349
00:20:13,980 --> 00:20:21,540
Ebuehie on the right, Kakace on the left with Luperto and De Winter at the back too.

350
00:20:21,540 --> 00:20:26,340
Bandinelli, Marin and Henderson formed the midfield tree with Piaka and Bayrami out wide

351
00:20:26,340 --> 00:20:28,660
flanking Mattia Destro.

352
00:20:28,660 --> 00:20:34,140
For Atalanta, Classic 3-5-2, Mussongol with Toloi, Demiral and Scalvini at the back, Hattabur

353
00:20:34,140 --> 00:20:38,300
and Meili out wide with Pasalic, Ederson and Cope miners.

354
00:20:38,300 --> 00:20:39,300
Very good!

355
00:20:39,300 --> 00:20:44,140
Thank you in the middle, Hoiland and Luckmann up front.

356
00:20:44,140 --> 00:20:50,860
Atalanta had Muriel suspended, they had Deron and Zappa Costa injured, Tlazza Fata not fully

357
00:20:50,860 --> 00:20:57,140
fit, however Mussongol and Toloi had returned after long layoffs essentially.

358
00:20:57,140 --> 00:21:02,860
So the scoring was opened in the 32nd minute thanks to Hans Hattabur, after I'm overdoing

359
00:21:02,860 --> 00:21:03,860
it now.

360
00:21:03,860 --> 00:21:04,860
Dude, you're killing it!

361
00:21:04,860 --> 00:21:05,860
I'm killing it!

362
00:21:05,860 --> 00:21:06,860
You're killing it!

363
00:21:06,860 --> 00:21:07,860
Thank you Pablo, young Pablo.

364
00:21:07,860 --> 00:21:13,540
So in the 32nd minute there was a blocked shot that landed to the path of Hattabur who

365
00:21:13,540 --> 00:21:16,620
slotted in with an oncoming, misbalanced Vicario.

366
00:21:16,620 --> 00:21:19,020
Nothing he could have done about that.

367
00:21:19,020 --> 00:21:21,700
The ball was literally flinging all over the place.

368
00:21:21,700 --> 00:21:26,300
But then it was just before halftime where a penalty was awarded to Atalanta.

369
00:21:26,300 --> 00:21:29,260
Destro blocked Luckmann's free kick with his elbow.

370
00:21:29,260 --> 00:21:33,160
Now his arms were tucked in, but his elbow was somewhat out.

371
00:21:33,160 --> 00:21:34,700
Some say it's controversial.

372
00:21:34,700 --> 00:21:36,900
Ref says yellow card in my opinion.

373
00:21:36,900 --> 00:21:39,420
Well at least it was a penalty.

374
00:21:39,420 --> 00:21:41,340
Maybe the yellow card was a bit harsh in my opinion.

375
00:21:41,340 --> 00:21:43,260
It was a penalty though.

376
00:21:43,260 --> 00:21:47,020
Koke Miners steps up, but brilliant save by Vicario.

377
00:21:47,020 --> 00:21:48,140
He goes the wrong way.

378
00:21:48,140 --> 00:21:52,380
Koke Miners goes down the middle, but he saves it with his leg and you could see him extending

379
00:21:52,380 --> 00:21:56,740
his leg perfectly to stop the shot.

380
00:21:56,740 --> 00:21:57,740
Love this guy.

381
00:21:57,740 --> 00:21:59,340
He's just too good man.

382
00:21:59,340 --> 00:22:02,220
59th minute, Ademola Luckmann scored.

383
00:22:02,220 --> 00:22:03,540
He was inside the box.

384
00:22:03,540 --> 00:22:08,180
He cut in on his favorite right foot, fainted past two players and slotted it into the near

385
00:22:08,180 --> 00:22:09,180
bottom corner.

386
00:22:09,180 --> 00:22:12,360
That's his fifth goal of the season.

387
00:22:12,360 --> 00:22:17,660
In the 83rd minute, Ebuhe tapped the ball into an empty net after a scramble inside

388
00:22:17,660 --> 00:22:21,900
the box essentially, but it was deemed offside.

389
00:22:21,900 --> 00:22:25,460
Game ended empoly nil, Atalanta 2.

390
00:22:25,460 --> 00:22:27,620
What did you make of this game bro?

391
00:22:27,620 --> 00:22:33,060
A very mature display by Atalanta to continue proving what we've essentially been raving

392
00:22:33,060 --> 00:22:37,900
on about and what every journalist to be honest has been talking about.

393
00:22:37,900 --> 00:22:42,540
They just look so composed, like no room for error with these guys.

394
00:22:42,540 --> 00:22:49,340
Empoly, they looked quite structured to me, quite a solid tough side, but Atalanta eventually

395
00:22:49,340 --> 00:22:53,740
managed to open them up with that goal in the 32nd minute.

396
00:22:53,740 --> 00:22:59,920
And I mean what's impressive about Atalanta and this match in particular is it's not easy

397
00:22:59,920 --> 00:23:04,520
coming off a devastating defeat and your first defeat of the season, which they just had

398
00:23:04,520 --> 00:23:07,720
against Lazio, but they came back and it's like nothing happened.

399
00:23:07,720 --> 00:23:12,740
They kept their system, they remained calm and subsequently they managed to walk away

400
00:23:12,740 --> 00:23:15,940
with a very convincing three points.

401
00:23:15,940 --> 00:23:23,680
Duvan Zapata, obviously he's been out injured, he's been being reintroduced to the side

402
00:23:23,680 --> 00:23:24,680
slowly slowly.

403
00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:28,980
I mean you look at the guy two seasons ago and he was literally up there with one of

404
00:23:28,980 --> 00:23:32,180
the best, as one of the best strikers in the league.

405
00:23:32,180 --> 00:23:36,400
Now it seems like he might have some more work to do than he would have liked coming

406
00:23:36,400 --> 00:23:37,500
back into the team.

407
00:23:37,500 --> 00:23:40,620
Do you think his place upfront is at risk?

408
00:23:40,620 --> 00:23:48,940
I mean there's Muriel, there's Hoylund, there's Luckmann as well.

409
00:23:48,940 --> 00:23:51,700
Do you think he'll slot right back in or is there a lot of hope?

410
00:23:51,700 --> 00:23:56,060
He certainly doesn't slot right back in and the Zapata we've seen in the last two seasons

411
00:23:56,060 --> 00:23:59,660
isn't the Zapata of the past.

412
00:23:59,660 --> 00:24:05,940
Same can be said about Muriel to be honest with you, but Luckmann right now is indispensable

413
00:24:05,940 --> 00:24:11,340
and then there's the other slot upfront which is up for grabs, right?

414
00:24:11,340 --> 00:24:14,780
So I think it's who performs best that week or who's better suited for the game.

415
00:24:14,780 --> 00:24:20,580
We know Gasparini, we know that he wouldn't even be against playing one of them for a

416
00:24:20,580 --> 00:24:22,980
half and a different one for another half.

417
00:24:22,980 --> 00:24:25,420
He does that very often in different positions.

418
00:24:25,420 --> 00:24:26,420
That's true.

419
00:24:26,420 --> 00:24:30,940
Still on the topic of Atalanta, Cope Miners obviously missed the penalty.

420
00:24:30,940 --> 00:24:34,540
It was a great save by Vicario.

421
00:24:34,540 --> 00:24:37,540
Obviously he's had a fantastic season thus far.

422
00:24:37,540 --> 00:24:41,380
However we have seen players that have had, I don't know, missed a penalty or missed a

423
00:24:41,380 --> 00:24:45,420
great chance and then their season has taken a turn for the worse.

424
00:24:45,420 --> 00:24:49,540
So I think this is the first penalty that he's missed in Serie A.

425
00:24:49,540 --> 00:24:51,620
I thought he missed another one.

426
00:24:51,620 --> 00:24:53,620
I'm not sure if it was in Serie A though.

427
00:24:53,620 --> 00:24:57,500
I remember him missing another one, Cope Miners.

428
00:24:57,500 --> 00:24:59,460
I might be mistaken.

429
00:24:59,460 --> 00:25:02,420
It could be, my memory is failing me.

430
00:25:02,420 --> 00:25:08,060
But he has been a set piece specialist for Atalanta so this is definitely going to hurt

431
00:25:08,060 --> 00:25:09,060
him a bit.

432
00:25:09,060 --> 00:25:10,060
We'll see what happens.

433
00:25:10,060 --> 00:25:11,060
We'll see.

434
00:25:11,060 --> 00:25:13,620
I think he'll be okay though.

435
00:25:13,620 --> 00:25:15,300
Will he take the next one?

436
00:25:15,300 --> 00:25:21,260
I certainly don't think he takes penalties when Muriel is on the pitch.

437
00:25:21,260 --> 00:25:24,060
I think he has on a couple of occasions.

438
00:25:24,060 --> 00:25:28,260
Again we know Gasparini and we know that there's a lot of mind games when it comes to every

439
00:25:28,260 --> 00:25:32,100
single little decision that the team makes so I wouldn't be surprised if he has something

440
00:25:32,100 --> 00:25:33,100
up his sleeve.

441
00:25:33,100 --> 00:25:37,060
Also shout out to the denim shirt Gasparini was wearing.

442
00:25:37,060 --> 00:25:38,100
It was very nice.

443
00:25:38,100 --> 00:25:39,100
It was very nice.

444
00:25:39,100 --> 00:25:42,140
It was very Jamie, I thought.

445
00:25:42,140 --> 00:25:43,140
That look.

446
00:25:43,140 --> 00:25:47,780
He looked younger with it to be honest.

447
00:25:47,780 --> 00:25:48,780
I guess.

448
00:25:48,780 --> 00:25:52,100
It looks no Botox and fillers you know what I mean.

449
00:25:52,100 --> 00:25:53,100
Not quite as effective.

450
00:25:53,100 --> 00:25:56,100
Exactly but it did something.

451
00:25:56,100 --> 00:26:01,540
Yeah, Atalanta are good, conservative, y'all know the rest.

452
00:26:01,540 --> 00:26:04,500
Let's move a bit to Empoli.

453
00:26:04,500 --> 00:26:09,300
So the main difference between Empoli this season and last season is obvious.

454
00:26:09,300 --> 00:26:11,740
It's the change in manager, it's the change in system.

455
00:26:11,740 --> 00:26:19,140
There was Andrea Zolli's play style last year where Empoli were shocking, they were devastating

456
00:26:19,140 --> 00:26:23,580
but they didn't kind of prepare for the team that's in front of them versus Zanetti where

457
00:26:23,580 --> 00:26:29,380
it's kind of like they almost prepare too much in inverted commas for the team in front

458
00:26:29,380 --> 00:26:36,980
of them almost to the point that they lack a certain identity.

459
00:26:36,980 --> 00:26:38,820
What do you make of the change?

460
00:26:38,820 --> 00:26:40,300
Is it suiting Empoli better?

461
00:26:40,300 --> 00:26:41,300
Worse?

462
00:26:41,300 --> 00:26:44,700
Do you think they'll be better off at the end of the season?

463
00:26:44,700 --> 00:26:49,700
So I think that Empoli certainly have an identity this year.

464
00:26:49,700 --> 00:26:56,380
I think they've brought this attractive play style to each and every one of their opponent.

465
00:26:56,380 --> 00:27:00,620
Like they're hardly ever forced out of the game.

466
00:27:00,620 --> 00:27:07,020
There was the 4-0 against Juve which was bizarre to be honest but other than that this season

467
00:27:07,020 --> 00:27:10,420
I thought that they've brought it to every one of their opponents, each and every one

468
00:27:10,420 --> 00:27:16,540
of them, especially the whole offensive flow.

469
00:27:16,540 --> 00:27:20,980
Sometimes I think they've tried to settle for a 1-0 victory and it bit them in the ass

470
00:27:20,980 --> 00:27:23,660
on way too many occasions eventually.

471
00:27:23,660 --> 00:27:28,300
Which is why they struggled for victories as well.

472
00:27:28,300 --> 00:27:33,660
I'm not saying they haven't had good performances, they've obviously had good performances and

473
00:27:33,660 --> 00:27:41,300
like you said they play the ball around nicely, they certainly have struggled when it comes

474
00:27:41,300 --> 00:27:44,420
to killing games like you mentioned as well.

475
00:27:44,420 --> 00:27:50,900
But there isn't something remarkable about this Empoli.

476
00:27:50,900 --> 00:27:53,580
There isn't something to write home about.

477
00:27:53,580 --> 00:27:56,660
It's almost like it's very average across the board.

478
00:27:56,660 --> 00:28:00,940
You wouldn't say for example I'm petrified of Empoli for this reason.

479
00:28:00,940 --> 00:28:02,780
You know what I mean?

480
00:28:02,780 --> 00:28:05,460
They're stable but that's as far as it goes.

481
00:28:05,460 --> 00:28:12,180
Yeah, I guess the only thing you would be terrified of Empoli for is the fact that they

482
00:28:12,180 --> 00:28:15,180
can, they have what it takes to hold you to a draw.

483
00:28:15,180 --> 00:28:16,180
Exactly.

484
00:28:16,180 --> 00:28:17,180
That's it.

485
00:28:17,180 --> 00:28:19,740
There are units.

486
00:28:19,740 --> 00:28:24,260
But again they're in a good position in the league right now.

487
00:28:24,260 --> 00:28:30,300
These were candidates for relegation at the end of the day and they're quite safe compared

488
00:28:30,300 --> 00:28:36,540
to the amount of points that Verona and Cremona do for example or Sampdoria.

489
00:28:36,540 --> 00:28:38,860
So yeah I think the trajectory is right.

490
00:28:38,860 --> 00:28:41,900
New manager, kind of new players all around.

491
00:28:41,900 --> 00:28:43,180
I think they're doing quite well.

492
00:28:43,180 --> 00:28:44,180
Yeah, agreed.

493
00:28:44,180 --> 00:28:48,580
I'd like to highlight Razvan Marin as well for another great performance.

494
00:28:48,580 --> 00:28:50,660
I think this man goes under the radar quite a bit.

495
00:28:50,660 --> 00:28:53,260
He really is a metronome for the team.

496
00:28:53,260 --> 00:28:59,860
He had a 93% pass success rate in this game and he also had four successful tackles as

497
00:28:59,860 --> 00:29:03,500
well so great performance for him over there.

498
00:29:03,500 --> 00:29:08,900
Atalanta sit in second place on 27 points.

499
00:29:08,900 --> 00:29:11,700
Just five points behind Napoli.

500
00:29:11,700 --> 00:29:14,100
Just because there's such a long way to go.

501
00:29:14,100 --> 00:29:19,140
Empoli in 14th on 11 points like Drake said quite safe at the moment.

502
00:29:19,140 --> 00:29:25,980
The next game we're going to be discussing is Torino 2, Milan 1.

503
00:29:25,980 --> 00:29:31,540
The last encounter between Torino and Milan saw the two drawing 0-0.

504
00:29:31,540 --> 00:29:36,820
Torino prior to this game had failed to score a single Serie A goal against Milan in their

505
00:29:36,820 --> 00:29:40,460
last 464 minutes of play.

506
00:29:40,460 --> 00:29:47,420
They lost score against Milan prior to this game back in September 2019 thanks to a goal

507
00:29:47,420 --> 00:29:51,420
by of course Andrea Bellotti.

508
00:29:51,420 --> 00:29:55,660
That was also their last league victory against Milan prior to this.

509
00:29:55,660 --> 00:29:56,660
Oh my god.

510
00:29:56,660 --> 00:30:03,660
Milan's run of 17 away victories has finally come to an end.

511
00:30:03,660 --> 00:30:06,260
Wow 17 consecutive victories.

512
00:30:06,260 --> 00:30:07,260
Away victories.

513
00:30:07,260 --> 00:30:08,260
My god.

514
00:30:08,260 --> 00:30:09,260
Undefeated, not victories.

515
00:30:09,260 --> 00:30:10,260
Undefeated, okay.

516
00:30:10,260 --> 00:30:11,260
Undefeated, sorry.

517
00:30:11,260 --> 00:30:13,580
That's my bad.

518
00:30:13,580 --> 00:30:21,660
Now Torino lined up with their 3-4-2-1 formation with Vania Mlinkovic-Savage in goal.

519
00:30:21,660 --> 00:30:31,180
Bon giorno, Suarez and Gigi at the back, but Lazaro on the left and Singo on the right,

520
00:30:31,180 --> 00:30:37,980
Ricci and Lukacic in the middle with Pelegrino up front flanked by Vlasic and Mirancuk.

521
00:30:37,980 --> 00:30:43,540
For Milan it was Tatarasano in goal with Calulo on the right, Hernandez on the left, Tomori

522
00:30:43,540 --> 00:30:48,220
and Gabia in the middle, the double pivot was Pobega and Tonali with Messias on the

523
00:30:48,220 --> 00:30:53,540
right, Leao on the left, Diaz in the middle and Origi up front.

524
00:30:53,540 --> 00:30:58,900
The game started off and Milan were tearing through the Torino defense like it was a six-pack

525
00:30:58,900 --> 00:31:01,620
of Moretti on a hot summer's day.

526
00:31:01,620 --> 00:31:09,700
Two big misses by Leao early on, each one of them set up by Ibrahim Diaz who was exception

527
00:31:09,700 --> 00:31:13,100
until he came off, he was forced off early.

528
00:31:13,100 --> 00:31:18,780
But anyway, Leao didn't seem to have his head on his shoulders from the very start

529
00:31:18,780 --> 00:31:23,700
of this game and this would prove to be a theme for the rest of the game until eventually

530
00:31:23,700 --> 00:31:31,300
in the 35th minute it was Torino's turn to actually knock at Milan's door.

531
00:31:31,300 --> 00:31:32,900
And how else would Milan concede?

532
00:31:32,900 --> 00:31:39,940
It was through a free kick by Lazaro, he whipped the ball in from quite a distance, a non-threatening

533
00:31:39,940 --> 00:31:47,780
area to be honest, and Gigi headed the ball in off the post for his first ever Serie A

534
00:31:47,780 --> 00:31:48,780
goal.

535
00:31:48,780 --> 00:31:53,260
Now this man didn't even jump to head the ball, he kind of crouched down to head it,

536
00:31:53,260 --> 00:31:55,260
so it goes to show how free he was.

537
00:31:55,260 --> 00:32:02,780
The classic zonal marking by Milan on set pieces, just not effective at all.

538
00:32:02,780 --> 00:32:05,940
I previously asked the question, how else would Milan concede?

539
00:32:05,940 --> 00:32:10,660
Two minutes later they conceded through a saucy Russian, that is how.

540
00:32:10,660 --> 00:32:20,100
He got the ball on the left hand side after some chaos basically, the ball ended up going

541
00:32:20,100 --> 00:32:28,740
through both Gabia and Tomori and Mirantju just placed it into the bottom corner.

542
00:32:28,740 --> 00:32:33,180
I believe it was a long ball over the top that was headed poorly by Gabia that started

543
00:32:33,180 --> 00:32:37,140
off this whole move.

544
00:32:37,140 --> 00:32:45,020
At half time Piolli reacted by making a triple substitution, he took out Kalulu, Diaz and

545
00:32:45,020 --> 00:32:46,020
Leo.

546
00:32:46,020 --> 00:32:51,300
Now he took out Kalulu because he injured his eyes quite frankly and he was basically

547
00:32:51,300 --> 00:32:55,260
blind, he couldn't see anything, he could tell, you know how when someone's eyes are

548
00:32:55,260 --> 00:32:59,460
bothering him he's always rubbing them, he was basically doing that for the whole entirety

549
00:32:59,460 --> 00:33:01,580
of the half, must have been very frustrating for him.

550
00:33:01,580 --> 00:33:05,100
But it's fine, Piolli is so inclusive that he replaced him with another blind footballer

551
00:33:05,100 --> 00:33:06,580
and brought on Dest.

552
00:33:06,580 --> 00:33:13,900
Exactly, so Sergio Nio Dest came on in his stead, Decatelar and Rebic.

553
00:33:13,900 --> 00:33:24,140
So Milan started off, Rebic assumed the position of deep lying playmaker, carrying the ball

554
00:33:24,140 --> 00:33:30,940
from deep, a bunch of urgency, Milan are 2-0 down, there's a whole lot of running, a whole

555
00:33:30,940 --> 00:33:36,780
lot of looking up and looking sideways quickly, there's a whole lot of panic but virtually

556
00:33:36,780 --> 00:33:43,020
no action, Milan barely created any goal scoring opportunities, bar one freak moment in the

557
00:33:43,020 --> 00:33:48,140
67th minute where a long ball over the top saw Vanya Milinkovic-Savvich coming off his

558
00:33:48,140 --> 00:33:56,300
line to claim it, it was like the incestuous woman in Barbarian leaving the house, this

559
00:33:56,300 --> 00:34:02,260
massive guy off his line looks so weird.

560
00:34:02,260 --> 00:34:08,020
Bonjorno got a touch to the ball and it completely threw Vanya Milinkovic-Savvich off as he basically

561
00:34:08,020 --> 00:34:13,980
got dribbled by his own defender, Messias basically pulled Bonjorno to the ground and

562
00:34:13,980 --> 00:34:17,500
scored from a distance, in my opinion that was a foul.

563
00:34:17,500 --> 00:34:21,180
I think so as well, we're laughing about it.

564
00:34:21,180 --> 00:34:26,620
And I shared this opinion with Ivan Juric who got sent off for protesting the validity

565
00:34:26,620 --> 00:34:33,020
of the goal which fair enough, I mean it was harsh, we've seen VAR calls for less than

566
00:34:33,020 --> 00:34:37,580
that, we've seen goals disallowed for way less than that for sure.

567
00:34:37,580 --> 00:34:38,580
Agreed.

568
00:34:38,580 --> 00:34:42,100
But yeah, I mean the game pretty much off that, again a whole lot of hurrying by Milan,

569
00:34:42,100 --> 00:34:48,540
nothing really created, Giroud came on in the 78th minute but they failed to give him

570
00:34:48,540 --> 00:34:52,300
any service, yeah that's basically it.

571
00:34:52,300 --> 00:34:54,260
What did you make of this game bro?

572
00:34:54,260 --> 00:35:00,340
I mean, Milan could have killed the game off within the first 20 minutes, within the first

573
00:35:00,340 --> 00:35:04,660
20 minutes those two chances for a layout, any other day the man puts the ball in the

574
00:35:04,660 --> 00:35:06,780
back of the net.

575
00:35:06,780 --> 00:35:12,620
So that is probably why Piolli would be so frustrated after a game like that, because

576
00:35:12,620 --> 00:35:16,740
it's not that Torino were the better side throughout, it's that Torino took their chances

577
00:35:16,740 --> 00:35:22,940
and Milan didn't, Milan outshot Torino, Milan had more possession than Torino, Milan essentially

578
00:35:22,940 --> 00:35:26,780
won on all fronts except for the scoreline.

579
00:35:26,780 --> 00:35:32,060
I found the triple substitution to be a bit rash which isn't usual of Piolli to react

580
00:35:32,060 --> 00:35:35,740
in such a bombastic way at half time.

581
00:35:35,740 --> 00:35:43,900
Now I understand that taking out layout over a longer period of time would put the man

582
00:35:43,900 --> 00:35:49,980
in his place, like get your head in the game, this is what happens if you don't and I get

583
00:35:49,980 --> 00:35:52,580
that, I respect that.

584
00:35:52,580 --> 00:36:01,020
Milan's two best players offensively at the moment, creatively are Liao and Brahim, take

585
00:36:01,020 --> 00:36:09,100
out one or the other, don't take them both out and he essentially changed the way that

586
00:36:09,100 --> 00:36:14,020
Milan gets the ball forward, because they get the ball forward through overlaps on the

587
00:36:14,020 --> 00:36:17,860
left hand side and playing the ball to Liao and letting him do his thing, or else recently

588
00:36:17,860 --> 00:36:21,140
Brahim Diaz going down Marauding runs down the middle.

589
00:36:21,140 --> 00:36:28,420
Milan suddenly lost those two freaks of nature, suddenly, and that just, Milan were such a

590
00:36:28,420 --> 00:36:33,860
weaker side in the second half, a two goal deficit and suddenly Milan are a severely

591
00:36:33,860 --> 00:36:38,180
weakened side and just didn't sit right with me, when I saw those changes I wasn't confident

592
00:36:38,180 --> 00:36:43,140
that anything was going to happen from Milan's side and nothing happened, a freak moment

593
00:36:43,140 --> 00:36:48,140
and Messias had an empty net after he threw a motherfucker to the ground, I don't agree

594
00:36:48,140 --> 00:36:51,860
with the changes that were made.

595
00:36:51,860 --> 00:36:58,660
I don't think that purely substitution of Liao was purely punishment, I think that he

596
00:36:58,660 --> 00:37:04,900
might have had the Champions League encounter in mind too, the game against Salzburg at

597
00:37:04,900 --> 00:37:07,700
San Siro on Wednesday.

598
00:37:07,700 --> 00:37:09,580
That's a fair point.

599
00:37:09,580 --> 00:37:15,660
And I think it rings true for Brahim Diaz as well, it was an uphill battle, maybe purely

600
00:37:15,660 --> 00:37:23,900
thought that a draw could be achieved with the men at his disposal.

601
00:37:23,900 --> 00:37:28,100
Of course it wasn't the case at all and I'm really surprised because in the first 20 minutes

602
00:37:28,100 --> 00:37:33,380
Milan had the opportunity to blow Toreen out of the water completely.

603
00:37:33,380 --> 00:37:38,220
Origi would get the ball, hold it up and if you notice through Milan's attacks Origi was

604
00:37:38,220 --> 00:37:41,860
nowhere to be seen, he was holding the ball, he was playing quite deep during the transition,

605
00:37:41,860 --> 00:37:44,980
I kind of like the way he was playing.

606
00:37:44,980 --> 00:37:51,260
Diaz was amazing in the first few minutes, it's just again Liao and it's not even like,

607
00:37:51,260 --> 00:37:57,420
I don't even know, how do you miss a chance like that when you just need to finish, you

608
00:37:57,420 --> 00:38:00,940
afford to take a touch and Liao loves to take a touch before finishing.

609
00:38:00,940 --> 00:38:01,940
Definitely.

610
00:38:01,940 --> 00:38:05,820
I don't know, he seemed distracted, I don't know what was wrong with him, I guess it was

611
00:38:05,820 --> 00:38:06,820
one of those days.

612
00:38:06,820 --> 00:38:10,820
Yeah, I think the chances came too early which was very rich considering he scored the goal

613
00:38:10,820 --> 00:38:15,620
in 10 seconds against Suswal a couple of seasons ago but I genuinely think the chances came

614
00:38:15,620 --> 00:38:18,540
too early to Liao, he hadn't grown into the game yet.

615
00:38:18,540 --> 00:38:22,140
And then when he did grow into the game he was just shooting from everywhere.

616
00:38:22,140 --> 00:38:26,860
Exactly, that's what fucking, and then two things threw me off about Liao's performance,

617
00:38:26,860 --> 00:38:33,780
barring of the obvious misses, but it almost seems like at times he thinks he's, not at

618
00:38:33,780 --> 00:38:38,300
times, the man thinks he's bigger than the club, the man feels like he's the sensation

619
00:38:38,300 --> 00:38:40,780
of the club, which he is.

620
00:38:40,780 --> 00:38:47,460
Like getting the ball on his left from miles out, the ball's wobbling all in front of him

621
00:38:47,460 --> 00:38:52,420
and he takes a shot, he essentially sends it into the stands, sends it into the curve

622
00:38:52,420 --> 00:38:58,660
alike and then another time Milan just conceded, he grabs the ball and attempts to dribble

623
00:38:58,660 --> 00:39:02,700
past the entire team, gets the ball taken off him instantly.

624
00:39:02,700 --> 00:39:12,140
It's just, at times his attitude is very very frustrating and we don't talk about it because

625
00:39:12,140 --> 00:39:16,580
it comes with a bunch of pros, a bunch of pros it comes with.

626
00:39:16,580 --> 00:39:20,340
It's the ego right, I mean you have to think you're the best to become the best.

627
00:39:20,340 --> 00:39:26,140
Exactly, it's as simple as that, mind over matter, as a man thinketh, read it.

628
00:39:26,140 --> 00:39:30,620
What did you think of the Keita Laira's performance?

629
00:39:30,620 --> 00:39:39,100
Raw, raw, raw, I mean the guy isn't gonna, this isn't the season for him, especially

630
00:39:39,100 --> 00:39:42,900
the first half of the season, maybe in the second half of the season he'll get going,

631
00:39:42,900 --> 00:39:49,780
but there's obviously going to be a transition phase, a period of adaptation, it's obvious,

632
00:39:49,780 --> 00:39:54,220
he's a young guy playing in a massive league with a fuck ton of pressure.

633
00:39:54,220 --> 00:40:00,900
He had a massive price tag for Milan's standard that you would assume if you're going to spend

634
00:40:00,900 --> 00:40:04,140
that amount of money that you're going to bring in someone who's going to make the difference.

635
00:40:04,140 --> 00:40:08,940
It's not true, this is an investment, a long term investment.

636
00:40:08,940 --> 00:40:16,860
Granted he, the idea might have been that he can't contribute this season, but he can

637
00:40:16,860 --> 00:40:18,460
still contribute this season.

638
00:40:18,460 --> 00:40:22,140
He has a lot of pressure and I feel like it's finally getting to him.

639
00:40:22,140 --> 00:40:27,980
The way he's been playing, even the selfishness he's been demonstrating, I tell you he's

640
00:40:27,980 --> 00:40:32,380
desperate for a goal, he's desperate to get going, he's desperate to shut out the noise.

641
00:40:32,380 --> 00:40:36,580
And especially since Brahim is performing the way he is, I mean in the beginning of

642
00:40:36,580 --> 00:40:41,940
the season when the Keita Laira was coming on, he straight up looked better than he looks

643
00:40:41,940 --> 00:40:46,180
now and everyone was kind of raving about him saying how raw he looks, how good he looks,

644
00:40:46,180 --> 00:40:50,780
he was getting more minutes than Brahim and then suddenly Brahim flicked the switch, everyone

645
00:40:50,780 --> 00:40:52,660
loves Brahim, everyone hates the Keita Laira.

646
00:40:52,660 --> 00:40:55,660
Now that just goes to show how stupid everyone was because these are the people who hated

647
00:40:55,660 --> 00:40:58,340
Brahim up until like three weeks ago.

648
00:40:58,340 --> 00:41:04,340
Exactly, so that's it, it's moments in football that get the masses talking, that at least

649
00:41:04,340 --> 00:41:06,800
get the casuals talking.

650
00:41:06,800 --> 00:41:10,180
The fact of the matter is, Brahim needed serious competition.

651
00:41:10,180 --> 00:41:12,820
Yes, that's it, that's the most important point here.

652
00:41:12,820 --> 00:41:16,580
He got serious competition and he stepped the fuck up.

653
00:41:16,580 --> 00:41:20,260
Now the Keita Laira needs to step the fuck up and he's getting used to the league and

654
00:41:20,260 --> 00:41:21,260
he's going to get there.

655
00:41:21,260 --> 00:41:25,700
I was hearing people telling me the Keita Laira looks like he's a hockey player that

656
00:41:25,700 --> 00:41:27,180
attempted football.

657
00:41:27,180 --> 00:41:32,420
Sure, maybe he looked like that in this game but bear in mind he wasn't the only guy that

658
00:41:32,420 --> 00:41:37,620
had a terrible performance, fucking Liao had a shit performance.

659
00:41:37,620 --> 00:41:42,780
The best player in Serie A last season.

660
00:41:42,780 --> 00:41:49,060
We'll see what happens with the Keita Laira, I just hope that he manages the pressure well.

661
00:41:49,060 --> 00:41:51,420
Yeah, agreed.

662
00:41:51,420 --> 00:42:02,340
Milan currently sit in third with 26 points while Torino have climbed to ninth with 17

663
00:42:02,340 --> 00:42:03,340
points.

664
00:42:03,340 --> 00:42:07,540
The next game we're going to be covering is Verona 1-Roma 3.

665
00:42:07,540 --> 00:42:12,260
So Verona still struggling, they were coming off a 2-1 loss to Sassuolo here, Weistraum

666
00:42:12,260 --> 00:42:20,260
were coming off a 1-0 loss to Liders, Napoli at home and midweek 2-1 win in Helsinki.

667
00:42:20,260 --> 00:42:26,580
Verona won their last two games at the Bente Gaudi against Roma coming into this match.

668
00:42:26,580 --> 00:42:32,180
So pressure is on for Roma and for Verona to make it third.

669
00:42:32,180 --> 00:42:35,340
Last time I believe they had made it third, I had read the stat but I didn't put it in

670
00:42:35,340 --> 00:42:40,700
because it was too particular, it was in like 1985, last time they beat Roma three times

671
00:42:40,700 --> 00:42:41,700
in a row.

672
00:42:41,700 --> 00:42:44,660
So these are the best stats, very particular ones.

673
00:42:44,660 --> 00:42:48,700
You love them, you adore them, you're an encyclopedia.

674
00:42:48,700 --> 00:42:54,940
So for Verona it was a 3-4-2-1 formation with Monte Paul in goal, Cecharini, Gunther and

675
00:42:54,940 --> 00:42:59,220
Davidovic at the back, De Pauli and Faroni as the wing backs with Veloce on Hong-Lan

676
00:42:59,220 --> 00:43:04,060
the double pivot, Tameze and Callon flanking on reef, you've never heard of Callon, he's

677
00:43:04,060 --> 00:43:09,820
a Sierra Leonean forward on loan from Genoa and he's only 21 years old.

678
00:43:09,820 --> 00:43:14,700
So he's said and said he joined Genoa I believe late last season.

679
00:43:14,700 --> 00:43:19,620
Okay and then they loaned him out to a Sierra team, gets a experience, we'll be back next

680
00:43:19,620 --> 00:43:21,340
year.

681
00:43:21,340 --> 00:43:26,900
For Mourinho's Roma, 3-5-2, Patricio on goal, Montrini smalling Ibanez at the back as classic

682
00:43:26,900 --> 00:43:32,140
as it gets, Karsdorp on the right, Zalefsky on the left with Kamara, Pellegrini and Cristante

683
00:43:32,140 --> 00:43:36,700
in the middle, Abraham and Zaniolo up front.

684
00:43:36,700 --> 00:43:42,700
So to start things off very early on, Tame rounded the keeper and hit the post, missed

685
00:43:42,700 --> 00:43:45,380
off the season so far by the way.

686
00:43:45,380 --> 00:43:46,380
Definitely.

687
00:43:46,380 --> 00:43:51,900
The fact that he had time and space after he dribbled the goalkeeper and he still didn't

688
00:43:51,900 --> 00:43:56,380
manage to get the ball to the back of the net is ridiculous you said and you have a

689
00:43:56,380 --> 00:44:01,620
popular snippet that says if he shot John Lennon, John Lennon would be 83 today and

690
00:44:01,620 --> 00:44:05,580
he really hit the nail on the head over there.

691
00:44:05,580 --> 00:44:10,980
Shortly after he then missed a header dreadfully, he just needed to hit the target at this point,

692
00:44:10,980 --> 00:44:18,700
it was a dirty whooping ball coming in, had the man gotten his head behind the ball and

693
00:44:18,700 --> 00:44:24,180
just aimed it goal-wards he would have scored and unfortunately he made that total mess

694
00:44:24,180 --> 00:44:25,180
of it.

695
00:44:25,180 --> 00:44:31,140
Abraham's expected goals is three times higher than the goals he has actually scored this

696
00:44:31,140 --> 00:44:32,140
season.

697
00:44:32,140 --> 00:44:33,140
Madonna.

698
00:44:33,140 --> 00:44:39,460
If he had scored those chances he would be in the Capocano nearer race but he is nowhere

699
00:44:39,460 --> 00:44:41,780
near there, he has scored two goals so far.

700
00:44:41,780 --> 00:44:42,780
Exactly.

701
00:44:42,780 --> 00:44:44,660
XG of 6 point something, that's crazy.

702
00:44:44,660 --> 00:44:48,420
I don't like talking about XG but when you put it like that man.

703
00:44:48,420 --> 00:44:57,460
I like XG as a stat, I think it's quite fair because it looks at every chance kind of individually.

704
00:44:57,460 --> 00:45:03,080
In the 27th minute Farone's long-range strike deflected off Davidovich and into the back

705
00:45:03,080 --> 00:45:08,460
of the net it counted as a Farone assist and a Davidovich goal.

706
00:45:08,460 --> 00:45:11,100
Brilliant stuff, Davidovich was all happy, yay yay yay.

707
00:45:11,100 --> 00:45:15,620
Nine minutes later he studded Zaniolo on the thigh and got sent off.

708
00:45:15,620 --> 00:45:21,860
So shortly lived over there for Verona and for Davidovich.

709
00:45:21,860 --> 00:45:26,260
Suddenly now after leading Roma 1-0 at the Bente Gordi, third time in a row they're

710
00:45:26,260 --> 00:45:31,620
looking to beat them, now suddenly they have to play another hour with 10 men.

711
00:45:31,620 --> 00:45:38,100
And in fact shortly after, just before halftime in the 46th minute, Nicolo Zaniolo scored

712
00:45:38,100 --> 00:45:40,460
ending his goal drought.

713
00:45:40,460 --> 00:45:44,620
So it was Kamara that dispossessed Tamez in a dangerous area, played it to Abraham who

714
00:45:44,620 --> 00:45:50,820
you guessed it, hit the post, it fell to Zaniolo who slotted it in, goal drought over Roma

715
00:45:50,820 --> 00:45:52,100
right back in it.

716
00:45:52,100 --> 00:45:54,780
That was the second time this game that Tami hit the post.

717
00:45:54,780 --> 00:45:59,180
Last season he had a stat where no one in the world hit the post more than him, it was

718
00:45:59,180 --> 00:46:00,980
him and Messi I remember.

719
00:46:00,980 --> 00:46:03,980
I remember that, they even tweeted about it.

720
00:46:03,980 --> 00:46:10,620
And in the second half Matich's header after a Pellegrini corner hit the woodwork so Roma

721
00:46:10,620 --> 00:46:12,420
were really knocking.

722
00:46:12,420 --> 00:46:17,020
However and then in the 88th minute Matich's pass from the byline found Volpato just outside

723
00:46:17,020 --> 00:46:22,220
the area who placed it into the bottom corner, ball was like wobbling all around but it did

724
00:46:22,220 --> 00:46:32,100
go into the bottom corner and it was another goal for Volpato against Roma against Verona

725
00:46:32,100 --> 00:46:33,340
last season.

726
00:46:33,340 --> 00:46:36,820
Christian Volpato, what a legend.

727
00:46:36,820 --> 00:46:41,540
And then in the 91st minute just to rub salt in the wounds as if they didn't just get a

728
00:46:41,540 --> 00:46:47,460
late winner, Stefan El-Sharawi scored a fantastic goal and it was a Christian Volpato assist,

729
00:46:47,460 --> 00:46:52,100
he released El-Sharawi who rounded the keeper by chipping the ball over him and finished

730
00:46:52,100 --> 00:46:54,140
into the empty net.

731
00:46:54,140 --> 00:46:58,140
3-1 Roma, what did you make of this game bro?

732
00:46:58,140 --> 00:47:03,180
I thought that without the red card Verona could have actually taken something from this

733
00:47:03,180 --> 00:47:08,580
game and they almost did take something from this game with the red card too.

734
00:47:08,580 --> 00:47:13,620
I thought Roma didn't look convincing at all especially with their finishing man like what

735
00:47:13,620 --> 00:47:18,480
more do they have to do to Abraham, like they can't keep putting him in these situations

736
00:47:18,480 --> 00:47:19,860
and he keeps missing man.

737
00:47:19,860 --> 00:47:26,100
It must be so frustrating for Mourinho because he understands that he has players like Zaniolo,

738
00:47:26,100 --> 00:47:31,060
players like Debala that are capable of doing a whole load of work but one thing they need

739
00:47:31,060 --> 00:47:35,460
to brush up on is their finishing, this is more applicable for Zaniolo than it is for

740
00:47:35,460 --> 00:47:37,020
Debala.

741
00:47:37,020 --> 00:47:43,900
But you would think that having a player like Tammy who has a year of experience at Roma

742
00:47:43,900 --> 00:47:52,100
in the Serie A broke records as a debutant in the league, Englishman in the league and

743
00:47:52,100 --> 00:47:56,740
he drops it as well, he drops the ball as well and he's not setting a good example for

744
00:47:56,740 --> 00:47:57,740
his teammates.

745
00:47:57,740 --> 00:48:05,060
You bring in Bellotti who is a Serie A hero, a Serie A god, guaranteed goals in the Serie

746
00:48:05,060 --> 00:48:07,580
A who is also struggling for goals right now.

747
00:48:07,580 --> 00:48:11,280
It just seems there's a bit of a theme with Roma where they're struggling for goals.

748
00:48:11,280 --> 00:48:15,840
What does that come down to because it's not simply down to Tammy Abraham man.

749
00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:21,460
It's down to Tammy Abraham's confidence, it's down to Bellotti's confidence at the moment.

750
00:48:21,460 --> 00:48:25,620
Tammy Abraham's issue is purely confidence I believe right now.

751
00:48:25,620 --> 00:48:32,300
How do you, it's psychological, how the fuck do you miss those chances man as a paid professional,

752
00:48:32,300 --> 00:48:36,140
you know he's putting those in in training probably every single day, every day in training

753
00:48:36,140 --> 00:48:39,540
they're probably saying your time will come Tammy look at you, look at you, you're scoring

754
00:48:39,540 --> 00:48:42,940
all these chances like then he gets on the stage and he fucks it when it matters the

755
00:48:42,940 --> 00:48:43,940
most.

756
00:48:43,940 --> 00:48:47,860
Yeah and more in your benchism because he's relentless, he doesn't give up.

757
00:48:47,860 --> 00:48:49,860
Calls him shit on TV.

758
00:48:49,860 --> 00:48:51,900
Tough love baby.

759
00:48:51,900 --> 00:48:58,660
Yeah these idiots make a TikTok about him, he goes kind of weird.

760
00:48:58,660 --> 00:49:05,380
But still about Roma, we mentioned recently that no matter what the fixture is, whether

761
00:49:05,380 --> 00:49:10,580
they get three points or they always struggle no matter who it's against, no matter by what

762
00:49:10,580 --> 00:49:15,860
margin they win and now just putting this game into context this proves us right because

763
00:49:15,860 --> 00:49:24,540
they were against 19th place Verona who have been struggling against 10 men.

764
00:49:24,540 --> 00:49:31,540
Against 10 man 19th place Verona and they still struggle to get the three points, it

765
00:49:31,540 --> 00:49:33,340
took until the 88th minute man.

766
00:49:33,340 --> 00:49:37,500
Exactly then the 91st minute goal was because Verona had committed men forward.

767
00:49:37,500 --> 00:49:38,500
Exactly.

768
00:49:38,500 --> 00:49:39,500
Of course.

769
00:49:39,500 --> 00:49:44,940
But yeah Roma got lucky in this one I believe with that with that red card.

770
00:49:44,940 --> 00:49:48,700
I have to say Salvatore Bocchetti's Verona do look better.

771
00:49:48,700 --> 00:49:54,060
It's a shame Davidovic scored and immediately said my work here is done.

772
00:49:54,060 --> 00:49:55,060
Exactly.

773
00:49:55,060 --> 00:49:56,060
Red card immediately after.

774
00:49:56,060 --> 00:50:01,340
And it was such a rash one as well his foot was so high man, studs showing like crazy and

775
00:50:01,340 --> 00:50:04,100
it took VAR because it all happened so quickly.

776
00:50:04,100 --> 00:50:10,940
Zaniolo like you do that to Zaniolo you must want to fuck him up like you know what I mean.

777
00:50:10,940 --> 00:50:14,020
Valt Pato got a goal and assist in this game.

778
00:50:14,020 --> 00:50:18,700
You know he's Australian boy and he can still represent Australia if he wants.

779
00:50:18,700 --> 00:50:19,700
Really?

780
00:50:19,700 --> 00:50:25,880
So what happened was he had been called up for Australia but he didn't end up making

781
00:50:25,880 --> 00:50:28,580
it because he was busy or some shit.

782
00:50:28,580 --> 00:50:30,100
He was busy.

783
00:50:30,100 --> 00:50:31,820
Same thing happened with Italy.

784
00:50:31,820 --> 00:50:38,580
He got called up and he didn't make it and then Australia's like under 19 team or something

785
00:50:38,580 --> 00:50:43,480
lost a game terribly had a terrible performance and he posted a video on social media kind

786
00:50:43,480 --> 00:50:48,540
of poking fun at the Australian national team and then he got called up for Italy under

787
00:50:48,540 --> 00:50:52,460
19 and he showed up for them and he has two appearances for them.

788
00:50:52,460 --> 00:50:57,380
But the fact that he kind of poked fun at Australia like he called up never showed up.

789
00:50:57,380 --> 00:50:59,180
Look at these guys they're shit like.

790
00:50:59,180 --> 00:51:01,980
It's a good opportunity for him man.

791
00:51:01,980 --> 00:51:07,620
How is this guy just not showing up to international call ups and like a freak.

792
00:51:07,620 --> 00:51:09,500
No I think the club wouldn't send him.

793
00:51:09,500 --> 00:51:13,380
I think the club would need him like the club can't technically choose to do that because

794
00:51:13,380 --> 00:51:15,220
they're full time employees.

795
00:51:15,220 --> 00:51:20,620
Even on a minor level like when you're under 18.

796
00:51:20,620 --> 00:51:22,260
I'm not sure.

797
00:51:22,260 --> 00:51:24,060
I'm not sure.

798
00:51:24,060 --> 00:51:25,940
But probably I mean the guy just.

799
00:51:25,940 --> 00:51:30,620
The property of the club technically they always need to go ahead of the club.

800
00:51:30,620 --> 00:51:34,220
Now Roma have.

801
00:51:34,220 --> 00:51:36,580
Technically again by the way it's three points for Roma.

802
00:51:36,580 --> 00:51:40,140
This is what we've been saying the entire time they struggle but that's another three

803
00:51:40,140 --> 00:51:45,180
points for Roma bouncing back after a home loss against league leaders Napoli.

804
00:51:45,180 --> 00:51:52,140
But now they face Lazio and Lazio don't have Sergei Milyankovic Savic or Tri Romovle.

805
00:51:52,140 --> 00:51:55,820
What the fuck happens in this game man.

806
00:51:55,820 --> 00:52:01,660
I think Roma win them again.

807
00:52:01,660 --> 00:52:07,020
I don't think it's going to be as straightforward because you know Lazio still have some useful

808
00:52:07,020 --> 00:52:08,020
tools there.

809
00:52:08,020 --> 00:52:10,380
They have Philipp Anderson, there's Pedro.

810
00:52:10,380 --> 00:52:15,620
They still have a few players who are capable of doing some damage but I think they're missing

811
00:52:15,620 --> 00:52:17,940
two very key pieces over there.

812
00:52:17,940 --> 00:52:21,700
And I think Roma will just beat them because of that.

813
00:52:21,700 --> 00:52:23,480
They're missing their pure identity.

814
00:52:23,480 --> 00:52:27,740
When you think of Lazio you think of Sergei you think of Ciro.

815
00:52:27,740 --> 00:52:33,100
Ok they still have like you're saying Zaccani, Pedro, Luis Alberto.

816
00:52:33,100 --> 00:52:37,060
They still have their weapons but when you face a compact team like Roma there's only

817
00:52:37,060 --> 00:52:38,960
so much you can do with those guys.

818
00:52:38,960 --> 00:52:43,220
It would be such an asset to have people like Ciro and Sergei on the pitch.

819
00:52:43,220 --> 00:52:44,220
I agree with you.

820
00:52:44,220 --> 00:52:47,380
I think Roma will get away with all three points.

821
00:52:47,380 --> 00:52:51,060
But now that we said that maybe we shouldn't bet on it.

822
00:52:51,060 --> 00:52:52,060
We know what will happen.

823
00:52:52,060 --> 00:52:53,820
We will see, that's one to avoid.

824
00:52:53,820 --> 00:52:56,620
Derbies are just meant to be avoided when it comes to betting.

825
00:52:56,620 --> 00:52:57,620
That's true.

826
00:52:57,620 --> 00:53:01,120
Verona on the other hand they coped super well throughout the game.

827
00:53:01,120 --> 00:53:04,820
You couldn't even tell that they were down to 10 men.

828
00:53:04,820 --> 00:53:06,480
They struggled the entire season.

829
00:53:06,480 --> 00:53:15,660
This was one of their finer performances but again, incapable or incapable of walking away

830
00:53:15,660 --> 00:53:16,940
with anything.

831
00:53:16,940 --> 00:53:20,900
That is Roma in fourth place on 25 points.

832
00:53:20,900 --> 00:53:24,020
Verona 19th on 5 points.

833
00:53:24,020 --> 00:53:26,740
Leveled with Cremonaezza in 20th.

834
00:53:26,740 --> 00:53:29,300
Off we go to the north-east side of Rome.

835
00:53:29,300 --> 00:53:32,380
Lazio won Salernitana 3.

836
00:53:32,380 --> 00:53:35,940
Where do we even start?

837
00:53:35,940 --> 00:53:41,020
Lazio won their three home games against Salernitana and say prior to this, they had only played

838
00:53:41,020 --> 00:53:44,860
three games against Salernitana and they had won all of them.

839
00:53:44,860 --> 00:53:47,460
And they always scored at least three goals.

840
00:53:47,460 --> 00:53:48,460
Lazio.

841
00:53:48,460 --> 00:53:49,460
Lazio.

842
00:53:49,460 --> 00:53:50,460
Right?

843
00:53:50,460 --> 00:53:52,500
Lazio had some nice revenge for Salernitana.

844
00:53:52,500 --> 00:53:53,900
A little fuck you.

845
00:53:53,900 --> 00:53:58,940
The last meeting between the two teams prior to this game was at the Olympico last season.

846
00:53:58,940 --> 00:54:06,100
It ended 3-0 with goals by Immobile, Pedro and Luis Alberto.

847
00:54:06,100 --> 00:54:12,040
Lazio had managed to keep a clean sheet in each of their previous six Serie A games.

848
00:54:12,040 --> 00:54:13,040
Not against Salernitana.

849
00:54:13,040 --> 00:54:18,140
They were on a six game streak without conceding a single goal.

850
00:54:18,140 --> 00:54:23,020
This was the best open streak in the big five European leagues.

851
00:54:23,020 --> 00:54:28,740
So they were on the best streak and Salernitana just straight up ended it.

852
00:54:28,740 --> 00:54:34,380
Salernitana's team is only one game away, they were only one game away, from equaling

853
00:54:34,380 --> 00:54:41,860
their historic record streak of seven clean sheets in a row collected in 1998 under Zven

854
00:54:41,860 --> 00:54:42,860
Gorin Ericsson.

855
00:54:42,860 --> 00:54:43,860
How annoying man.

856
00:54:43,860 --> 00:54:48,060
They even kept a clean sheet against Atalanta most recently.

857
00:54:48,060 --> 00:54:50,340
That's fucking crazy.

858
00:54:50,340 --> 00:54:57,580
Lazio lined up with a 4-3-3 formation with Providel in goal, Marisic as the left back,

859
00:54:57,580 --> 00:55:02,340
Lazari as the right back, with Romagnoli and Casale as the centre backs.

860
00:55:02,340 --> 00:55:09,060
Their midfield three was Cataldi, Luis Alberto and Vecino, with Zaccani and Philipp Anderson

861
00:55:09,060 --> 00:55:13,940
flanking Pedro who played as a false nine this game.

862
00:55:13,940 --> 00:55:19,620
Salernitana played with a 3-5-2 formation, Sepe in goal with Gjombird on Ilulic and Fazio

863
00:55:19,620 --> 00:55:26,940
at the back, Matsoki on the right, Braderich on the left, Kulibaly, Ruddovanovic and Kondreva

864
00:55:26,940 --> 00:55:31,140
in the middle, with Bonazzoli and Pjontek up front.

865
00:55:31,140 --> 00:55:38,740
Kondreva back as a centre midfielder, Gianpaolo was right, Gianpaolo's a goal.

866
00:55:38,740 --> 00:55:43,620
So the game started off and Pedro clipped the post with some swanky moves right off the

867
00:55:43,620 --> 00:55:44,620
bat.

868
00:55:44,620 --> 00:55:51,060
Shortly after that, Luis Alberto gave a through ball to Mattia Zaccani who finished cleanly

869
00:55:51,060 --> 00:55:53,740
under the goalkeeper's legs, the archer.

870
00:55:53,740 --> 00:56:00,100
This was in the 41st minute and that's when the ice was broken essentially.

871
00:56:00,100 --> 00:56:06,300
Halftime came and the second half started with a knockdown by Philipp Anderson leading

872
00:56:06,300 --> 00:56:08,460
to a big miss by Vecino.

873
00:56:08,460 --> 00:56:12,260
What a miss bro, right in front of the goalkeeper and shoots it straight into him.

874
00:56:12,260 --> 00:56:17,780
Shortly after this, in the 51st minute, there was a ball over the top by Matsoki to Kondreva

875
00:56:17,780 --> 00:56:22,660
who took a lustful first touch and a gluttonous finish.

876
00:56:22,660 --> 00:56:25,860
What a goal, he chipped, Providel of course this was our goal of the week, there was no

877
00:56:25,860 --> 00:56:30,500
celebration for the X but a grin from ear to ear.

878
00:56:30,500 --> 00:56:33,380
Yeah, very good goal bro, I love that goal.

879
00:56:33,380 --> 00:56:34,900
Insane goal, insane goal.

880
00:56:34,900 --> 00:56:40,740
In the 68th minute Salahantan actually took the lead, it was Kondreva's cross that wasn't

881
00:56:40,740 --> 00:56:47,320
dealt with well and it was laid off to Fazio by Danilovic who spanked it home.

882
00:56:47,320 --> 00:56:54,980
Shortly after this, Vecino missed another one on one, crazy this guy bro.

883
00:56:54,980 --> 00:56:57,020
He's almost as bad as Tammy.

884
00:56:57,020 --> 00:56:59,380
No, I'm taking the piss.

885
00:56:59,380 --> 00:57:08,340
But he really did cost them this game because they could have been 2-0 up for Vecino and

886
00:57:08,340 --> 00:57:11,460
they could have equalized over here and come right back into the game.

887
00:57:11,460 --> 00:57:17,100
But it was in the 76th minute that Dia scored thanks to a brother-rich assist, I love this

888
00:57:17,100 --> 00:57:18,100
brother-rich guy.

889
00:57:18,100 --> 00:57:24,620
Brother-rich sounds like something you'd call a bro, you know what I mean, Shana, brother-rich.

890
00:57:24,620 --> 00:57:28,460
It was a quick counter, now if you watch Dia on this goal from the very beginning, he

891
00:57:28,460 --> 00:57:34,620
started his run from the edge of his own area, ran the full length of the pitch and you get

892
00:57:34,620 --> 00:57:42,060
to see brother-rich when he squared the ball in the far post, it was a bit too long for

893
00:57:42,060 --> 00:57:47,740
Dia and you can really see Dia exert himself to get to it, full speed, full throttle, clatters

894
00:57:47,740 --> 00:57:53,060
into the fucking post after, he's hurt for like literally 3 seconds and he gets up and

895
00:57:53,060 --> 00:57:55,620
runs off celebrating.

896
00:57:55,620 --> 00:58:02,540
And yeah, that was pretty much the game bro, a bunch of substitutions by Davide Nicola

897
00:58:02,540 --> 00:58:10,140
shortly after, even more than Sarri did, than Sarri made, which is crazy.

898
00:58:10,140 --> 00:58:13,420
My god, now, Bron, Dia, Botin, Bohinen and Villena all coming up.

899
00:58:13,420 --> 00:58:19,700
He brought on so many fresh faces that I think it was difficult for Lazio to actually play

900
00:58:19,700 --> 00:58:22,060
against such a high energy team.

901
00:58:22,060 --> 00:58:25,100
I thought Salah and Netanah were amazing this game bro.

902
00:58:25,100 --> 00:58:30,060
I agree and every single time I've complimented Salah and Netanah I've always complimented

903
00:58:30,060 --> 00:58:34,860
their energy and it's true they are a very energetic side, high pressure, this is what

904
00:58:34,860 --> 00:58:38,700
Davide Nicola expects and it's what he demands.

905
00:58:38,700 --> 00:58:45,220
However in the second half of this match I was very very impressed by Salah and Netanah's

906
00:58:45,220 --> 00:58:51,420
maturity, the way they were able to create play from the back, the way they were capable

907
00:58:51,420 --> 00:58:54,620
of moving the ball around and making the right decisions.

908
00:58:54,620 --> 00:59:01,660
It seems like Salah and Netanah are not just a high savage energetic team with a crazy

909
00:59:01,660 --> 00:59:05,180
shirtless corva, they are a team that can play a ball.

910
00:59:05,180 --> 00:59:09,820
It's true man, they really are and I really like the structure they keep, I really like

911
00:59:09,820 --> 00:59:16,700
the simple way they play football with keeping the ball on the ground as much as possible.

912
00:59:16,700 --> 00:59:21,180
They focus a lot of their play through Kandre Van Matsoki which is a fucking great thing

913
00:59:21,180 --> 00:59:23,580
to do to be honest, a great idea for them.

914
00:59:23,580 --> 00:59:27,940
I like the way they are utilising Kandre Van by playing him close to a very energetic basically

915
00:59:27,940 --> 00:59:31,020
younger version of himself in Matsoki.

916
00:59:31,020 --> 00:59:32,020
It's true.

917
00:59:32,020 --> 00:59:37,340
Honestly wow and they've got good striking options, Bonozole, Piontek, Dia, these guys

918
00:59:37,340 --> 00:59:40,900
are special man, they are doing great things.

919
00:59:40,900 --> 00:59:45,380
I agree man and it's their work off the ball as well that's really impressive, I mean looking

920
00:59:45,380 --> 00:59:52,060
over here and Lacha had 61% possession but the way that they keep their shape and the

921
00:59:52,060 --> 00:59:57,820
way they transition when Lacha are shifting play is very impressive.

922
00:59:57,820 --> 01:00:04,660
It doesn't seem like there were no gaps anywhere, a very tight compact team, very defensive,

923
01:00:04,660 --> 01:00:09,500
sure it's what you have to do when you play a team like Lacha but they coped brilliantly

924
01:00:09,500 --> 01:00:14,620
and they even managed to injure Sergej, was Sergej injured in this match?

925
01:00:14,620 --> 01:00:20,660
No, he is not injured, Sergej Minkovic-Savitsky got a yellow card, now this was a controversial

926
01:00:20,660 --> 01:00:26,740
thing that occurred.

927
01:00:26,740 --> 01:00:32,380
It was an unjust yellow, he tried to play the ball with the outstep of his foot, his

928
01:00:32,380 --> 01:00:41,020
opponent challenged him and the referee actually whistled and gave him the yellow card.

929
01:00:41,020 --> 01:00:45,540
It was so harsh that in the post-match interview Sarri said that if he had to express what

930
01:00:45,540 --> 01:00:51,340
he thinks really is going on he would get a six-year ban so of course he's hinting

931
01:00:51,340 --> 01:00:57,820
at the Kalciopoli, he's hinting at corruption because essentially in that Kalciopoli season

932
01:00:57,820 --> 01:01:02,500
that's what Juve had been doing, they had been getting key players sent off through

933
01:01:02,500 --> 01:01:07,940
excessive accumulated yellows in different fixtures going around them, it's kind of

934
01:01:07,940 --> 01:01:09,980
indirect corruption.

935
01:01:09,980 --> 01:01:14,420
Back when Sarri was working at a bank.

936
01:01:14,420 --> 01:01:20,860
But yes, I don't know, I think it was just a refereeing mistake, perhaps I'm naive,

937
01:01:20,860 --> 01:01:23,060
Sergej took it so badly.

938
01:01:23,060 --> 01:01:27,140
Of course man, he's missing the derby, they're already missing three raw.

939
01:01:27,140 --> 01:01:34,700
Sarri didn't play him in order to rest him for the derby most likely, and they had to

940
01:01:34,700 --> 01:01:38,820
bring him on because they were losing and he got a yellow card.

941
01:01:38,820 --> 01:01:39,820
So frustrating.

942
01:01:39,820 --> 01:01:48,420
Salernitana bro at the end of the day they came to the capital and they beat Lazio with

943
01:01:48,420 --> 01:01:53,420
goals through an ex Lazio player and an ex Roma player.

944
01:01:53,420 --> 01:01:59,060
Finished off by a Senegalese beast.

945
01:01:59,060 --> 01:02:06,180
I think Vecino's clumsy misses helped them stay in the game, that was massive.

946
01:02:06,180 --> 01:02:10,500
Do Lazio stand a chance in the derby, we already discussed this briefly?

947
01:02:10,500 --> 01:02:16,500
They do stand a chance, they definitely stand a chance, they're a deflated side but still

948
01:02:16,500 --> 01:02:22,380
you look at, they're beyond being individuals, Lazio.

949
01:02:22,380 --> 01:02:28,660
They're playing Sarri ball at the end of the day, now you remove the two key pieces that

950
01:02:28,660 --> 01:02:33,880
Sarri ball is and it's the support provided by Immobile and the finishing provided by

951
01:02:33,880 --> 01:02:40,620
Immobile and it's Sergei who manages to turn the fence into attack in the blink of an eye.

952
01:02:40,620 --> 01:02:47,020
But we've seen that Roma can struggle against virtually anyone and if Lazio play their cards

953
01:02:47,020 --> 01:02:50,260
right then they can get a point out of the game, I don't think they'll get three but

954
01:02:50,260 --> 01:02:52,300
they're capable of getting a point.

955
01:02:52,300 --> 01:02:54,300
Amen brother.

956
01:02:54,300 --> 01:03:01,420
Lazio are currently in fifth with 24 points while Salernitana have climbed to tenth with

957
01:03:01,420 --> 01:03:06,020
16 points bang the table for Lazio and Salernitana bro with a difference.

958
01:03:06,020 --> 01:03:09,140
Yes sir, look at that tenth place.

959
01:03:09,140 --> 01:03:12,580
Last year we were already making jokes, they definitely relegated.

960
01:03:12,580 --> 01:03:20,600
The next team we're going to be covering is Inter 3 Sampdoria nil, this was on Halloween.

961
01:03:20,600 --> 01:03:28,020
So Inter were coming off a thrilling 4-3 victory away to Fiorentina, crazy, crazy scene, I

962
01:03:28,020 --> 01:03:32,740
think you had the pleasure of preparing for that match so at least you know it inside

963
01:03:32,740 --> 01:03:33,740
out.

964
01:03:33,740 --> 01:03:34,740
Yes sir.

965
01:03:34,740 --> 01:03:41,020
There was also a midweek 4-0 win against Victoria Pilsen confirming round of 16 qualification.

966
01:03:41,020 --> 01:03:45,900
They're playing tomorrow slash tonight by the time you're hearing this against Bayern

967
01:03:45,900 --> 01:03:51,260
Munich as well but they're basically confirmed in second place.

968
01:03:51,260 --> 01:03:55,100
Sampdoria are coming off their first win of the season and it was against Cremonaese who

969
01:03:55,100 --> 01:04:00,200
have yet to achieve their first win of the season so Sampdoria were very opportunistic

970
01:04:00,200 --> 01:04:03,100
over there to get all three points.

971
01:04:03,100 --> 01:04:09,060
Now Inter have gone unbeaten in nine out of their last ten Serie A meetings against Sampdoria

972
01:04:09,060 --> 01:04:13,020
and I mean you look at where they are in the league right now, each team and where they

973
01:04:13,020 --> 01:04:18,480
are in this point in history and you think this isn't going to be any different.

974
01:04:18,480 --> 01:04:24,580
Now Inter missing Marcelo Brozovic as Lukaku made his comeback after two months out injured

975
01:04:24,580 --> 01:04:29,740
to score against Victoria Pilsen midweek but has now picked up another injury.

976
01:04:29,740 --> 01:04:37,220
It's a strain in the, now please bear with me, it's a strain in the myocardial scar of

977
01:04:37,220 --> 01:04:40,300
the femoral biceps of his left thigh.

978
01:04:40,300 --> 01:04:47,300
Now I didn't know thighs had biceps but that's what happened over there so Lukaku was injured.

979
01:04:47,300 --> 01:04:50,260
He should be back for the Juve game apparently.

980
01:04:50,260 --> 01:04:56,060
But he did feature in this game coming on as a sub for Inter it was 3-5-2 on an angle

981
01:04:56,060 --> 01:05:00,980
with Bastoni, Devry and Skriniar at the back, DiMarco and Doomfries out wide, I don't know

982
01:05:00,980 --> 01:05:01,980
if that was the right one.

983
01:05:01,980 --> 01:05:02,980
It was, it was Doomfries.

984
01:05:02,980 --> 01:05:09,900
Mkhitaryan, Chalanooglu and Barela in midfield and Martinez and Zeko up front for Sampdoria.

985
01:05:09,900 --> 01:05:17,180
It was a special night for their coach, treble winner Dejan Stankovic facing his former team

986
01:05:17,180 --> 01:05:22,180
and he had to do it without Fabio Qualiarella and Harry Winks.

987
01:05:22,180 --> 01:05:28,060
It was a 4-2-3-1 for Sampdoria, Audero between the sticks, Berezinski, Ferrari, Colli and

988
01:05:28,060 --> 01:05:34,820
Amione at the back, Iepes and Villar in the double pivot with Kapiadini out wide and Leris

989
01:05:34,820 --> 01:05:39,700
out wide, Juric Rich in an attacking midfield position with Caputo up front.

990
01:05:39,700 --> 01:05:44,300
Before I go into the happenings of the game, what are your takes on that lineup by Dejan

991
01:05:44,300 --> 01:05:45,300
Stankovic?

992
01:05:45,300 --> 01:05:47,660
I think we have a new terrorist to the league, my friend.

993
01:05:47,660 --> 01:05:50,780
How can you play Gabbiadini on the right, man?

994
01:05:50,780 --> 01:05:54,140
I'm sorry, like, what are you trying to do?

995
01:05:54,140 --> 01:05:59,780
Is he trying to recreate that like, Manzuka charge at Juve where you overpower the full

996
01:05:59,780 --> 01:06:00,780
back in the air?

997
01:06:00,780 --> 01:06:06,900
Because like, I don't know about you, but Gabbiadini is your average kind of like, target

998
01:06:06,900 --> 01:06:07,900
man.

999
01:06:07,900 --> 01:06:13,100
No, he's the type of guy, he's not going to outpace anyone, he's not going to fucking

1000
01:06:13,100 --> 01:06:14,980
charge up and down the wing tirelessly.

1001
01:06:14,980 --> 01:06:17,700
No, he has zero qualities of a winger.

1002
01:06:17,700 --> 01:06:18,700
Yes, exactly.

1003
01:06:18,700 --> 01:06:19,700
No qualities whatsoever.

1004
01:06:19,700 --> 01:06:20,700
It's bizarre.

1005
01:06:20,700 --> 01:06:24,100
And you look at a team who struggled so much in transition to get the ball forward with

1006
01:06:24,100 --> 01:06:30,020
these aging players like Gabbiadini, Caputo, Quadiarella, exactly, and Juric Rich as well.

1007
01:06:30,020 --> 01:06:31,020
And what's he doing now?

1008
01:06:31,020 --> 01:06:35,020
He's getting these washed up strikers and putting them in midfield.

1009
01:06:35,020 --> 01:06:36,020
Exactly.

1010
01:06:36,020 --> 01:06:37,020
Okay.

1011
01:06:37,020 --> 01:06:38,020
Legend.

1012
01:06:38,020 --> 01:06:44,100
So, to get into the happenings of the game, it was very, very straightforward for Inter

1013
01:06:44,100 --> 01:06:45,100
over here.

1014
01:06:45,100 --> 01:06:49,060
They opened the scoring in the 21st minute thanks to a header by Devry after a Hakka

1015
01:06:49,060 --> 01:06:51,140
and Chalano-Glu corner.

1016
01:06:51,140 --> 01:06:54,700
In the 44th minute, Nicolo Barella scored a wonder goal.

1017
01:06:54,700 --> 01:06:58,500
It was a long ball by Bastoni lobbed into the air.

1018
01:06:58,500 --> 01:07:03,100
It put Barella clean through on goal, but he had to control the ball excellently with

1019
01:07:03,100 --> 01:07:07,180
one leg and then he finished into the corner with his other leg.

1020
01:07:07,180 --> 01:07:08,180
Fantastic.

1021
01:07:08,180 --> 01:07:09,180
Amazing goal.

1022
01:07:09,180 --> 01:07:10,180
Fantastic goal.

1023
01:07:10,180 --> 01:07:11,180
Very, very wow.

1024
01:07:11,180 --> 01:07:12,180
Very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

1025
01:07:12,180 --> 01:07:13,180
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

1026
01:07:13,180 --> 01:07:14,180
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

1027
01:07:14,180 --> 01:07:15,180
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

1028
01:07:15,180 --> 01:07:16,180
very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very, very,

1029
01:07:16,180 --> 01:07:17,180
very, very, very, very, very.

1030
01:07:17,180 --> 01:07:18,180
Very, very well.

1031
01:07:18,180 --> 01:07:21,260
It was then the 73rd minute that Wakin Korea decided to turn into a prime to Hernandez

1032
01:07:21,260 --> 01:07:26,180
collected the ball from deep into his own ecology, charged, the ball forward,outing

1033
01:07:26,180 --> 01:07:31,580
set just outside the area and counted the ball into the top corner.

1034
01:07:31,580 --> 01:07:36,620
Three nil for Inter, I mean, we know they've struggled the season, but this should have

1035
01:07:36,620 --> 01:07:39,160
never been a match where they struggled.

1036
01:07:39,160 --> 01:07:42,760
What did you make of their performance?

1037
01:07:42,760 --> 01:07:57,760
Super convincing. Inter have their injuries as well and they continue to build on their performances after their losses to Lazio and who else was it?

1038
01:07:57,760 --> 01:08:02,760
There's Lazio, Milan as well. Roma?

1039
01:08:02,760 --> 01:08:04,760
Yes and Udineza.

1040
01:08:04,760 --> 01:08:05,760
Udineza.

1041
01:08:05,760 --> 01:08:17,760
Exactly. They've since really turned up the tempo. I'm sure their exploits in the Champions League have helped their confidence but without Brozovich before they were barely recognisable.

1042
01:08:17,760 --> 01:08:24,760
Now they put in Shalanoglu where they are Aslanian and they're doing quite well in that role. Mkhitaryan seems to be settling in nicely as well.

1043
01:08:24,760 --> 01:08:31,760
Zéhako is more than a capable enough replacement for Lukaku at the moment. What do you think?

1044
01:08:31,760 --> 01:08:46,760
Yes, I agree and looking at Inter's performance over here with a pinch of salt because their opposition is one of the worst teams in the league this year, I struggle to imagine them struggling this season.

1045
01:08:46,760 --> 01:09:02,760
And it's hilarious because like you said they've lost all three points on four different occasions. All three of those teams were teams that finished underneath them last year. Udineza and Roma were nowhere near Inter's level last year.

1046
01:09:02,760 --> 01:09:19,760
So then you see a game like this by Inter and it's just they look so dangerous. They still alongside Napoli I would say have the most diverse way to score goals in the league. The most diverse way to attack.

1047
01:09:19,760 --> 01:09:21,760
Because they can come from anywhere, right?

1048
01:09:21,760 --> 01:09:36,760
Exactly. They're long crosses from out wide playing the ball through down the middle, set pieces, overlaps, center back long balls, center backs with the header.

1049
01:09:36,760 --> 01:09:43,760
They have so many tools at their arsenal. They're so well equipped and they're still very much a threat man.

1050
01:09:43,760 --> 01:09:44,760
For sure.

1051
01:09:44,760 --> 01:09:45,760
They still are a threat.

1052
01:09:45,760 --> 01:09:46,760
For sure.

1053
01:09:46,760 --> 01:09:52,760
The games they lost they were against top seven teams and Udineza still terrible. You don't want to lose all those games.

1054
01:09:52,760 --> 01:09:57,760
If you want to win the league you want to lose a total of four matches if even.

1055
01:09:57,760 --> 01:10:11,760
You know what I mean? But they've already lost those and we'll see how they are moving forward. To be honest I don't think there's too much else to address in this game. We'll mention Lukaku's injury.

1056
01:10:11,760 --> 01:10:14,760
We need to mention what happened in the stands.

1057
01:10:14,760 --> 01:10:25,760
Oh and what happened in the stands as well. So let's start with Lukaku's injury. Is it that devastating for Inter at the moment that Lukaku is out for another couple of games?

1058
01:10:25,760 --> 01:10:26,760
Yes.

1059
01:10:26,760 --> 01:10:27,760
Okay.

1060
01:10:27,760 --> 01:10:30,760
Because he's coming back against Juve, right?

1061
01:10:30,760 --> 01:10:31,760
Against Juve, yeah.

1062
01:10:31,760 --> 01:10:51,760
I mean no no it's not it's not devastating. Had he been out for longer it would have been devastating but no no he's they're gonna be fine right now. Dzeko and Martinez are doing just fine and I think they have a few Primavera boys there who can help them fill in if they go and get stuff.

1063
01:10:51,760 --> 01:11:03,760
But I think they'd want him around more for his own sake sooner rather than later because I think that he needs to start scoring and he needs to fucking find himself and rebuild his confidence Matt.

1064
01:11:03,760 --> 01:11:04,760
Yeah.

1065
01:11:04,760 --> 01:11:05,760
And he's not gonna do that out injured.

1066
01:11:05,760 --> 01:11:17,760
I think exactly I think that's where it gets devastating that the man isn't gonna get minutes and minutes for him to get used to the game again and for him to get fully fit again. I mean he got injured from playing the game.

1067
01:11:17,760 --> 01:11:23,760
There wasn't a tackle or anything that he got he got injured from being back being on the pitch and moving.

1068
01:11:23,760 --> 01:11:30,760
So he definitely needs needs more of that.

1069
01:11:30,760 --> 01:11:38,760
Now to address something a bit different that that happened in this game and something that really didn't didn't sit right with me it just pissed me off.

1070
01:11:38,760 --> 01:11:47,760
So Inter have this head of the Curva kind of this elite Curva member.

1071
01:11:47,760 --> 01:12:01,760
He is also a criminal that was convicted for 25 years and when Inter play at the San Siro he's not even allowed within a two kilometer radius of the stage.

1072
01:12:01,760 --> 01:12:04,760
He's a dangerous man essentially.

1073
01:12:04,760 --> 01:12:08,760
During the game he passed away.

1074
01:12:08,760 --> 01:12:10,760
I don't know how he was murdered.

1075
01:12:10,760 --> 01:12:11,760
He was murdered.

1076
01:12:11,760 --> 01:12:12,760
He was ambushed and killed.

1077
01:12:12,760 --> 01:12:15,760
He was ambushed and killed during the game.

1078
01:12:15,760 --> 01:12:17,760
The Curva got to find out about this.

1079
01:12:17,760 --> 01:12:24,760
The Curva marched out and they demanded that every interticket pair does the same out of respect.

1080
01:12:24,760 --> 01:12:48,760
Yes apparently like even to parents with their children they were telling them like get the fuck out of the stadium I'm going to slit your throat do you know who I am and these are like mostly apparently 25 year olds and even younger like teenagers saying this stuff and doing these things and they created a really hostile environment and they managed to really empty out the stadium man early on before the game was even halfway done.

1081
01:12:48,760 --> 01:13:02,760
Petrifying man, you take your kid to watch Inter a little boy a little girl that just wants to see their heroes play on the pitch and you get these mad men telling you to fucking get up and leave.

1082
01:13:02,760 --> 01:13:06,760
When you have left man you fly to Italy to watch your team you know you're there.

1083
01:13:06,760 --> 01:13:21,760
I mean bro it's easy for me to sit here on my fucking big juicy ass and say I wouldn't have fucking left you know what I mean but when you have people with face that was screaming in your face telling you to fuck off or they're going to fucking kill you.

1084
01:13:21,760 --> 01:13:24,760
I probably would have left a man.

1085
01:13:24,760 --> 01:13:38,760
Oh man it's so hard. I would have probably left as well fuck it man or I would have just maybe gone away from them or tried to go to another part of the stadium where they were but I doubt that was an option I'm sure they were just fucking forcing people.

1086
01:13:38,760 --> 01:13:48,760
These are at the end of the day a large group of men that they're the curva we know Milan curva, gangsters.

1087
01:13:48,760 --> 01:13:57,760
They're gangsters yes essentially I mean their leader at the time these guys are criminals you know you look at the Milan curva the same you know.

1088
01:13:57,760 --> 01:14:03,760
But then you look at the Milan curva for example now tell me if I'm being naive. They're fair. Exactly.

1089
01:14:03,760 --> 01:14:10,760
They've never kicked their own fans out they appreciate the fans they understand that the fans are very important to the team.

1090
01:14:10,760 --> 01:14:19,760
If any interest curva don't get that or maybe they saw Gabbiadini on the wing and they were just like everyone out it doesn't matter we've got this.

1091
01:14:19,760 --> 01:14:25,760
I always thought that Milan's curva and I thought this about the curva in general but after reading this I was like maybe not.

1092
01:14:25,760 --> 01:14:40,760
The curva are a representation of the supporters. Yes. Of their morals of their values. Exactly what happened when Milan fans stormed the pitch at Sassuola at the Mappé when they won the league.

1093
01:14:40,760 --> 01:14:46,760
And they delayed the trophy celebration. Exactly the curva were pissed off with them they gave them a little slap on the head.

1094
01:14:46,760 --> 01:14:51,760
Every fan coming back into the stands you have a massive smack in the head from the fans. Exactly.

1095
01:14:51,760 --> 01:14:59,760
Okay there's a way and there's a way but it shows their intent it shows that they want to discipline and that they want to do good by their club.

1096
01:14:59,760 --> 01:15:06,760
What are these gangsters doing man? I don't know man I just think there needs to be more security of course this can't happen. Absolutely not.

1097
01:15:06,760 --> 01:15:15,760
And apparently the minister of sport or some shit is looking into it. Okay rightly so because I was.

1098
01:15:15,760 --> 01:15:22,760
And that was fucked up. It pissed me off when I read it. It did man it did like we know a couple of really sweet Inter fans.

1099
01:15:22,760 --> 01:15:29,760
Can you imagine Grima at the game like. You kicked me out man.

1100
01:15:29,760 --> 01:15:35,760
Allah.

1101
01:15:35,760 --> 01:15:40,760
Shout out Grima. Shout out Grima. Rest in peace to the dead criminal.

1102
01:15:40,760 --> 01:15:47,760
Rest in peace. He lived a great life. I'm sure he made more people happy than sad.

1103
01:15:47,760 --> 01:15:53,760
I mean I don't know man. I don't know where I stand. Well I know where I stand firmly against.

1104
01:15:53,760 --> 01:15:59,760
But just a very weird situation. Inter are in sixth on 24 points.

1105
01:15:59,760 --> 01:16:07,760
They level on points with Lazio and one behind Roma. While some D'oi are in 18th. One point ahead of Verona and Cremonese.

1106
01:16:07,760 --> 01:16:18,760
Do you hear that bro? It's time for Lecce 0-1.

1107
01:16:18,760 --> 01:16:26,760
The previous encounter between these two teams was a 4-0 victory by Juve in 2020.

1108
01:16:26,760 --> 01:16:32,760
Okay back when Lecce were in Serie A of course and Juve were a little bit better to say the least.

1109
01:16:32,760 --> 01:16:40,760
Lecce have won four of their 33 matches against Juventus. The last one that they won came back in February 2011.

1110
01:16:40,760 --> 01:16:47,760
The goals were scored by Mesbach and Bertolapci. Oh my god. Two Milan legend.

1111
01:16:47,760 --> 01:16:53,760
Since then three wins for Juventus and two draws at the top flight.

1112
01:16:53,760 --> 01:16:59,760
Before we start I want to read out Juve's injury list going into this game.

1113
01:16:59,760 --> 01:17:14,760
So they had Pogba, Chiesa, Di Maria, Vlaović, Paredes, Bremer, Desilio, Danilo, Rugani, Locatelli, Ake and Kyle George all out injured going into this game.

1114
01:17:14,760 --> 01:17:21,760
That is a crisis right? At the end of this game they also lost Weston McKenney and Samuel Ealing Jr.

1115
01:17:21,760 --> 01:17:29,760
The 19 year old English superstar youngster. But yeah not good times for Juventus at all. They are so unlucky right now.

1116
01:17:29,760 --> 01:17:35,760
They have more than 11 starters over there. I didn't think that was possible but they do.

1117
01:17:35,760 --> 01:17:46,760
That's crazy. Falcone and Goal for Lecce. They played their usual 4-2-3-1 formation with Gallo and Gendre as the full backs with Basquirotto and Pongracic at the back.

1118
01:17:46,760 --> 01:17:54,760
Hulman and Blinn were the double pivot. Streffetza on the left, Uden on the right, Gonzalez behind Cissé.

1119
01:17:54,760 --> 01:18:02,760
Now for Juventus it was Chesney in goal or was it? I don't know. I didn't really witness a left-short attack.

1120
01:18:02,760 --> 01:18:08,760
It's true. Quadrado on the right, Sandro on the left with Gatti and Danilo as the center back duo.

1121
01:18:08,760 --> 01:18:17,760
Soule on the right, Kostij on the left, Rabiot and Weston McKenney. Mretti as the check-warthista this game and Mielek up front.

1122
01:18:17,760 --> 01:18:29,760
Now, yes so in the first half it took up until I believe it was the 32nd or 36th minute something like that.

1123
01:18:29,760 --> 01:18:36,760
For Juventus to have their first shot on target. Lecce didn't have a single shot on target all game.

1124
01:18:36,760 --> 01:18:45,760
And the most interesting thing about the first half actually was the yellow cards handed out to Juve at pretty much 6 minute intervals.

1125
01:18:45,760 --> 01:18:52,760
Mretti was the first to get the yellow card in the 12th minute. In the 17th minute Quadrado got the yellow card.

1126
01:18:52,760 --> 01:18:56,760
In the 23rd minute it was Mielek, in the 29th minute it was Gatti.

1127
01:18:56,760 --> 01:19:02,760
Mretti was actually lucky to stay on the pitch because it was two footed studs up.

1128
01:19:02,760 --> 01:19:10,760
The only thing he had in his favor was that he wasn't going at a ridiculously fast pace so it wasn't as dangerous. Fair enough.

1129
01:19:10,760 --> 01:19:18,760
The goal came in the 73rd minute through a Nicolo Falgioli curler. What a goal.

1130
01:19:18,760 --> 01:19:26,760
The assist was made by Samuel Elling Jr. who had just come into the game. This was a goal of the weak contender as well in my opinion.

1131
01:19:26,760 --> 01:19:33,760
Falgioli with the goal was a perfect curler over and around the keeper for his goal for Juventus.

1132
01:19:33,760 --> 01:19:36,760
You could see he fell into his teammates arms crying with joy.

1133
01:19:36,760 --> 01:19:40,760
It's his fucking dream.

1134
01:19:40,760 --> 01:19:51,760
The closest Lecce got to scoring was in the 88th minute and they would have equalized when Huelmann took a shot after a set piece and it eventually hit the crossbar.

1135
01:19:51,760 --> 01:19:53,760
The post sorry, not the crossbar.

1136
01:19:53,760 --> 01:20:01,760
But yeah bro, this was a fucking snoozefest and a half. This was a Juve team who were super depleted.

1137
01:20:01,760 --> 01:20:07,760
Has to be done though. They got the job done. Clean sheet, three points, they moved.

1138
01:20:07,760 --> 01:20:14,760
Exactly. That's what I was going to say. This is one of the occasions where I would applaud Allegri for taking that stance.

1139
01:20:14,760 --> 01:20:22,760
For taking that playstyle, for being more conservative, for not attacking much, for basically playing boring ass football.

1140
01:20:22,760 --> 01:20:29,760
Because you're playing a Lecce side that from the last game that they're capable of getting points and from doing something.

1141
01:20:29,760 --> 01:20:39,760
They went in, Juve with a very, very, very fucking depleted squad and all that too is that to ensure they have to get away with three points.

1142
01:20:39,760 --> 01:20:41,760
No excuses. We have to get away with three points.

1143
01:20:41,760 --> 01:20:48,760
And that's exactly what they did and they took a wonder goal by Falgioli and it didn't look like they were going to score any other way.

1144
01:20:48,760 --> 01:20:55,760
But it came. It came from a youth product. I would say Juve should walk away happy with this.

1145
01:20:55,760 --> 01:21:02,760
For sure man, especially the guy who scored and the guy who set up the goal were the two substitutes, the two young guys.

1146
01:21:02,760 --> 01:21:07,760
Now the future of Juventus. The present isn't looking great but the future sure is man.

1147
01:21:07,760 --> 01:21:11,760
Even Miretti is a very good player who played behind Millec this game.

1148
01:21:11,760 --> 01:21:18,760
Though I have to say that it was not a very good move by Allegri to pop Miretti in here.

1149
01:21:18,760 --> 01:21:22,760
He often looked isolated at times and he didn't quite look up to scratch for it.

1150
01:21:22,760 --> 01:21:29,760
I prefer Miretti in a deeper role personally. Even as a Metzala, that's fine. He just needs to have options in front of him to play the ball.

1151
01:21:29,760 --> 01:21:40,760
Exactly. Well, normally, should this be a long term thing, he should be fine because he has Vlachovic's runs of the ball alongside Arcadius Millec as well.

1152
01:21:40,760 --> 01:21:49,760
So he has two very hungry horses ahead of him. But in this case, just Millec by himself, everyone around him is a little bit lost because of the amount of changes in the team.

1153
01:21:49,760 --> 01:22:00,760
Wouldn't be too harsh on him. I really see Fagioli and Miretti kind of being like a gavi and pedri for Juve in the long run.

1154
01:22:00,760 --> 01:22:08,760
I think if you get a more progressive manager, they would really, for Juve, they would really try to implement that man.

1155
01:22:08,760 --> 01:22:19,760
For sure. I mean, they'd be playing more certainly. I mean, right now, Allegri's hand is forced and these youngsters are rewarding him, to be honest.

1156
01:22:19,760 --> 01:22:27,760
Sorry about that. Gatti, bro, is a player who impresses me greatly. He's the guy who went from Serie A to Serie B to Serie A in three seasons in a row.

1157
01:22:27,760 --> 01:22:36,760
He played a fantastic game, this game. Keane came on, another few good moments. Bonucci came on for six minutes, bro, and looked terrible.

1158
01:22:36,760 --> 01:22:42,760
Bonucci has been looking kind of awful, man. Bonucci has depleted astronomically.

1159
01:22:42,760 --> 01:22:51,760
He came on and he had a few moments where he should have cleared the ball out of the area with his head and instead he cleared it upwards.

1160
01:22:51,760 --> 01:22:59,760
Yeah, man. Like he's done, bro. And they say he's the last one from that team that made the Champions League final.

1161
01:22:59,760 --> 01:23:07,760
The last one out of that squad that played against Barca and that Champions League final against Real. I think Real was more recently.

1162
01:23:07,760 --> 01:23:13,760
Yeah, so it must be Barca. But he's the last one. No, Real. Must be Real. Must be Real, sure.

1163
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:25,760
He shouldn't even be there. I don't think he's quite good enough. I think he should be maybe a substitute defender, a back-up figure, a locker room figure, right?

1164
01:23:25,760 --> 01:23:34,760
A bit of a Zlatan, so to say. I don't think there's much more that Bonucci can bring to the game for you.

1165
01:23:34,760 --> 01:23:39,760
But I'll hang on to him because of the depleted squad, but I think we'll see him out at the end of the season.

1166
01:23:39,760 --> 01:23:49,760
Paul Pogba has suffered another injury. I believe it's a muscle injury. Just as soon as he had recovered in time to make the World Cup,

1167
01:23:49,760 --> 01:23:59,760
he had opted for the short-term surgery solution, which would actually enable him to play the World Cup while risking relapse.

1168
01:23:59,760 --> 01:24:08,760
So sorry to hear that about Pogba. Poor him. Yeah, poor him. I hope he makes it back for the World Cup at least, because he's very...

1169
01:24:08,760 --> 01:24:14,760
He's missing the World Cup for sure. Oh, he's missing the World Cup for sure? Yes, yes. Oh, fuck.

1170
01:24:14,760 --> 01:24:22,760
Yeah, World Cup without Pogba. But yeah, I have a note over here, bro. Juan Cuadrado, the captain, whenever a pass is.

1171
01:24:22,760 --> 01:24:31,760
It's so true. The guy is so selfish, especially in front of goal. The place where he needs to pass the most because his finishing is so wayward.

1172
01:24:31,760 --> 01:24:37,760
And it's strange, because he wasn't always like that. Not at all. It's like the worse the team gets, the more selfish you become.

1173
01:24:37,760 --> 01:24:41,760
Yeah, maybe he wants to stand out. I don't know what it is.

1174
01:24:41,760 --> 01:24:48,760
At the end of the game, there was a bit of an incident. I don't know if you noticed it. With Pinsolio.

1175
01:24:48,760 --> 01:24:56,760
You know Pinsolio, the backup goalkeeper, the guy who was bald, got a hair transplant, had really thick hair, and now he's balding again.

1176
01:24:56,760 --> 01:25:01,760
Apparently he's a hoot, by the way. He is hilarious, apparently.

1177
01:25:01,760 --> 01:25:09,760
First of all, there are many Twitter accounts named after Pinsolio's hairline, or shit like that. They're hilarious.

1178
01:25:09,760 --> 01:25:15,760
Cristiano Ronaldo joined Juventus and became his best friend. He's everyone's best friend. He's a good guy, apparently.

1179
01:25:15,760 --> 01:25:22,760
There was footage of him holding Fadjuoli, restraining him and talking to him in his ear, while Fadjuoli is looking irritated.

1180
01:25:22,760 --> 01:25:31,760
Apparently at the end of the game, Fadjuoli went to salute the fans, the away sector, and he stopped him.

1181
01:25:31,760 --> 01:25:37,760
He stopped him and told him, don't go. And that's the story. That's what's going on, apparently.

1182
01:25:37,760 --> 01:25:44,760
Now, what's your take on this? Don't approach the Curva. Probably, I guess, he's trying to protect him,

1183
01:25:44,760 --> 01:25:50,760
because right now the Juventus team is under fire. There's tension with the fans, but at the end of the day,

1184
01:25:50,760 --> 01:25:57,760
if Fadjuoli approaches them, he's the hero of the day. He's the promising youngster. He's going to be applauded. No.

1185
01:25:57,760 --> 01:25:59,760
Yeah, you can't take that moment away from him.

1186
01:25:59,760 --> 01:26:01,760
Hey, but he totally did.

1187
01:26:01,760 --> 01:26:10,760
I mean, I think rather than protecting him, it's more of a out of respect to your teammates and to your team who's under fire.

1188
01:26:10,760 --> 01:26:19,760
You don't deserve to enjoy this moment because of everyone else that is suffering from the abuse that the Curva is giving them.

1189
01:26:19,760 --> 01:26:25,760
So it's like we as a club aren't approaching them, so you can't approach them either. I guess.

1190
01:26:25,760 --> 01:26:28,760
I don't know, bro. I don't know if that makes any sense.

1191
01:26:28,760 --> 01:26:35,760
I think maybe it would be just on the off chance that the fans boo them.

1192
01:26:35,760 --> 01:26:41,760
He doesn't get taken aback or say something and end up in an altercation with someone, you know.

1193
01:26:41,760 --> 01:26:48,760
It could be. It could be. But also the Curva of Juve have been singling out certain players,

1194
01:26:48,760 --> 01:26:55,760
and maybe out of respect for those, then he wouldn't want them. Then they don't go applaud them.

1195
01:26:55,760 --> 01:27:01,760
You know what? I mean, no representative of the club should applaud them in that case. Maybe something like that. Maybe.

1196
01:27:01,760 --> 01:27:06,760
But anyway, I don't know if there's anything you'd like to add about this game, brother.

1197
01:27:06,760 --> 01:27:10,760
No, I think Juve did what they had to do. I think Letra tried their best,

1198
01:27:10,760 --> 01:27:16,760
but there's only so much you can do when a team is basically sucking the life out of you for 90 minutes.

1199
01:27:16,760 --> 01:27:19,760
And that's what Juve did well in this game.

1200
01:27:19,760 --> 01:27:27,760
Letra are currently in 17th with 8 points, while Juventus are 7th with 22 points.

1201
01:27:27,760 --> 01:27:34,760
Speaking of snoozefests, this was another kind of snoozefest, not because it was a 0-0, but because of the lack of action.

1202
01:27:34,760 --> 01:27:37,760
It's Cremonaese 0-Odinese 0 in the Eze derby.

1203
01:27:37,760 --> 01:27:40,760
So Cremonaese were coming off a disappointing loss to Sampdoria,

1204
01:27:40,760 --> 01:27:46,760
whilst Odinese coming off their second defeat of the season, and it was at home to Torino, 2-1.

1205
01:27:46,760 --> 01:27:50,760
Torino doing bits, huh? Taking down the big boys.

1206
01:27:50,760 --> 01:27:54,760
Cremonaese lined up with a 3-4-1-2 formation,

1207
01:27:54,760 --> 01:27:59,760
Carnesecki in goal with Laososkvili, Bianchetti and Aiuu at the back,

1208
01:27:59,760 --> 01:28:04,760
Valeri on the left, Sernicola on the right with Ascassibar and Maite in the middle,

1209
01:28:04,760 --> 01:28:08,760
Piquel just ahead of them, Ocareke and Dessers up front.

1210
01:28:08,760 --> 01:28:15,760
Ferdinese at 3-5-2, Silvestri in goal with Neuenpeires, Bijole and Ebosse at the back,

1211
01:28:15,760 --> 01:28:20,760
Pereira and Dodogi out wide with Sandilov, Rich, Wallace and Arslan in the midfield,

1212
01:28:20,760 --> 01:28:24,760
Deleveaux and Isaac Saksas up front.

1213
01:28:24,760 --> 01:28:29,760
Not much of a play-by-play, but there were some good saves by Silvestri and Carnesecki to keep it level,

1214
01:28:29,760 --> 01:28:33,760
especially Silvestri with his fingertip save on Buona Iuto.

1215
01:28:33,760 --> 01:28:36,760
You remember that one, bro? Super acrobatic.

1216
01:28:36,760 --> 01:28:43,760
I remember you said, like, what's he doing diving like that, the ball was going out.

1217
01:28:43,760 --> 01:28:48,760
And then the replay came and he just got this mad fingertip save to it,

1218
01:28:48,760 --> 01:28:53,760
the ball was clearly going in and superb save by Silvestri.

1219
01:28:53,760 --> 01:29:02,760
Do you think Carnesecki is better than Radu? It's up for debate.

1220
01:29:02,760 --> 01:29:07,760
I think Carnesecki has a higher ceiling than Radu.

1221
01:29:07,760 --> 01:29:10,760
I think he's a more valuable asset than Radu.

1222
01:29:10,760 --> 01:29:14,760
Do I think he's currently better than Radu right now? I think they're quite similar.

1223
01:29:14,760 --> 01:29:20,760
I think that Radu has had fantastic displays this season in Serie A.

1224
01:29:20,760 --> 01:29:28,760
He has also had way too many goal-costing blunders for the season already.

1225
01:29:28,760 --> 01:29:30,760
Detrimental blunders.

1226
01:29:30,760 --> 01:29:34,760
Yes, that's it. Like the Fiorentina one, for example, was...

1227
01:29:34,760 --> 01:29:36,760
Opening game of the season.

1228
01:29:36,760 --> 01:29:41,760
His teammates must have hated him.

1229
01:29:41,760 --> 01:29:44,760
I see Carnesecki starting as inevitable.

1230
01:29:44,760 --> 01:29:48,760
I think Radu pulls off saves that Carnesecki can't pull off right now.

1231
01:29:48,760 --> 01:29:53,760
I genuinely believe that. Sometimes Radu makes a save, like, how the fuck did he manage that?

1232
01:29:53,760 --> 01:29:56,760
But then I also think Carnesecki is more of a stable choice because

1233
01:29:56,760 --> 01:30:01,760
sure he won't save a fucking top corner bullet,

1234
01:30:01,760 --> 01:30:04,760
but he's also not going to let in your fucking back pass.

1235
01:30:04,760 --> 01:30:09,760
He definitely looks mature beyond his years, Carnesecki, the way he commands his area as well.

1236
01:30:09,760 --> 01:30:13,760
Loads, and he's got so much experience on the international stage so far.

1237
01:30:13,760 --> 01:30:18,760
He's been Italy's number one of the under-18s, under-19s, under-21s.

1238
01:30:18,760 --> 01:30:25,760
The list goes on and on, and I do believe that he'll be the next big thing for Italian goalkeepers,

1239
01:30:25,760 --> 01:30:29,760
which is difficult because Donnarumma is probably his age, if I'm being honest.

1240
01:30:29,760 --> 01:30:33,760
No, no, no. Carnesecki is certainly younger than Donnarumma.

1241
01:30:33,760 --> 01:30:37,760
Check, I really don't think so, man. I think they must be similar.

1242
01:30:37,760 --> 01:30:44,760
Carnesecki is 22, Donnarumma is 22.

1243
01:30:44,760 --> 01:30:48,760
Donnarumma is 23. What fucking difference does that make? You know what I mean?

1244
01:30:48,760 --> 01:30:53,760
Carnesecki moves sniff. Donnarumma does not leave his bot.

1245
01:30:53,760 --> 01:30:59,760
Some clips for PSGui just comes out, tosses it out for a corner, picks it up, runs around with the bot.

1246
01:30:59,760 --> 01:31:03,760
Carnesecki looks even more ridiculous than Vania leaving the bot.

1247
01:31:03,760 --> 01:31:06,760
It's true, it looks so weird.

1248
01:31:06,760 --> 01:31:10,760
Yeah, that is crazy actually that Donnarumma is still 23.

1249
01:31:10,760 --> 01:31:17,760
Yeah, and it's also crazy how he won like best goalkeeper in France last season,

1250
01:31:17,760 --> 01:31:20,760
and he had only played half of the matches, was benched by Keiler.

1251
01:31:20,760 --> 01:31:22,760
That's just the PSGui effect, right?

1252
01:31:22,760 --> 01:31:27,760
Of course, man. Big miss by De La Fere with the last kick of the game.

1253
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:34,760
De La Fere is always the best player for Udinese, nine times out of ten.

1254
01:31:34,760 --> 01:31:39,760
Now he had the opportunity to seal it, clean through on goal.

1255
01:31:39,760 --> 01:31:45,760
Great fucking counter-attack, Samardzic carried it forward, played it kind of wide to De La Fere.

1256
01:31:45,760 --> 01:31:52,760
Favored right foot, just needs to slot it into the corner. Hits it high.

1257
01:31:52,760 --> 01:31:58,760
Yeah, and it summed up to be honest Udinese's display.

1258
01:31:58,760 --> 01:32:06,760
Frustrated. It was a frustrated attempt from a frustrated man playing for a frustrated team for some reason.

1259
01:32:06,760 --> 01:32:11,760
I don't know what was going on, but everyone looked fed up of everyone this game.

1260
01:32:11,760 --> 01:32:14,760
You see my next point? Literally that, brother.

1261
01:32:14,760 --> 01:32:17,760
Udinese looked annoyed with each other. Yes, literally, bro. Honestly, well put.

1262
01:32:17,760 --> 01:32:24,760
The amount of times I saw arms flailing, players looking at each other than looking back at the guy.

1263
01:32:24,760 --> 01:32:28,760
It seems to be going to their heads, man.

1264
01:32:28,760 --> 01:32:34,760
Exactly, and this is case in point.

1265
01:32:34,760 --> 01:32:39,760
What we talk about when we say how can this team adapt to this loss?

1266
01:32:39,760 --> 01:32:46,760
That's why it's so impressive that Atalanta came back and beat Empoli after they lost Lazio for the first time.

1267
01:32:46,760 --> 01:32:56,760
Because when you lose, it's so easy to just keep that momentum and carry that bad momentum and be angry with your teammates.

1268
01:32:56,760 --> 01:33:00,760
And, oh, because he didn't pass to me then and he should have done better over there.

1269
01:33:00,760 --> 01:33:06,760
And Udinese aren't used to getting three points after three points after three points after three points.

1270
01:33:06,760 --> 01:33:10,760
They've done that. Now they've tasted defeat. Now we see.

1271
01:33:10,760 --> 01:33:15,760
Now we see how they can cope. And Sotil needs to keep their heads together and he needs to keep their heads straight.

1272
01:33:15,760 --> 01:33:20,760
It's true. We'll see. This is what we show us if he deserves the manager of the month of wit.

1273
01:33:20,760 --> 01:33:29,760
Exactly. Exactly. Just to say something about Cremona, Aska Sibar formerly known as Aska Kibara.

1274
01:33:29,760 --> 01:33:33,760
He's a great player, man. He's really good. He's a good fucking baller.

1275
01:33:33,760 --> 01:33:38,760
I like Aska Sibar. He was everywhere during this game.

1276
01:33:38,760 --> 01:33:42,760
There wasn't anything particularly wow, but he won the ball back.

1277
01:33:42,760 --> 01:33:45,760
He passed it. There was Piquel ahead of him.

1278
01:33:45,760 --> 01:33:49,760
And Maite as his other midfield partner. Really good, man.

1279
01:33:49,760 --> 01:33:52,760
Really good midfield over here for Cremona.

1280
01:33:52,760 --> 01:33:57,760
Cremona has to be the best team to never win a game in Serie A.

1281
01:33:57,760 --> 01:34:01,760
They genuinely look solid against a lot of teams.

1282
01:34:01,760 --> 01:34:08,760
It's true. And I think they were very unlucky. I don't know about any updates like, but they lost Dezard this game.

1283
01:34:08,760 --> 01:34:14,760
He went off injured. I don't know who they have as a replacement for him.

1284
01:34:14,760 --> 01:34:19,760
So we'll see. Hopefully it's not too serious.

1285
01:34:19,760 --> 01:34:23,760
Yeah. But that's pretty much the game.

1286
01:34:23,760 --> 01:34:29,760
Odinese are in eighth now. Three weeks ago they were in second or third.

1287
01:34:29,760 --> 01:34:32,760
And they're on 22 points, level on points with Juve.

1288
01:34:32,760 --> 01:34:38,760
Yet Odinese are having a fantastic season and Juve are having a shit-won, hindsight.

1289
01:34:38,760 --> 01:34:41,760
And Cremona are in last place on five points.

1290
01:34:41,760 --> 01:34:46,760
The next game we're going to be covering is Spezia 1-Fiorantina 2.

1291
01:34:46,760 --> 01:34:52,760
Fiorentina scored exactly two goals in both of their previous Serie A away matches against Spezia.

1292
01:34:52,760 --> 01:34:55,760
2-2 and 2-1.

1293
01:34:55,760 --> 01:35:08,760
Only Verona with zero points had gained fewer Serie A points than Spezia and Fiorentina, who gained one each, in October of 2022 coming into this game.

1294
01:35:08,760 --> 01:35:12,760
I repeat, so in October, Verona got zero points coming into this game.

1295
01:35:12,760 --> 01:35:15,760
Fiorentina and Spezia got one point each.

1296
01:35:15,760 --> 01:35:20,760
So this was basically the battle of the shits.

1297
01:35:20,760 --> 01:35:29,760
Among the strikers in the big five European leagues yet to score or assist a single goal in 2022-2023,

1298
01:35:29,760 --> 01:35:32,760
Amon Welk-Jozzi has played the most minutes so far.

1299
01:35:32,760 --> 01:35:35,760
Are you surprised, man? Are you surprised?

1300
01:35:35,760 --> 01:35:38,760
He looks awful, bro. He looks awful.

1301
01:35:38,760 --> 01:35:44,760
And I thought I pulled off a genius 1 million IQ move taking him on Fanta-Culture because he's a midfielder.

1302
01:35:44,760 --> 01:35:46,760
So you get an extra striker in your team.

1303
01:35:46,760 --> 01:35:51,760
But no, bro, the guy looks and plays like a grandpa.

1304
01:35:51,760 --> 01:35:56,760
Literally. He's so, he's so look 74.

1305
01:35:56,760 --> 01:36:08,760
He looks like the type of old man that would like stand behind the fence behind his netted door, a netted door and stand behind it like he won't go outside.

1306
01:36:08,760 --> 01:36:11,760
And he's just yelling at cats, yelling at people walking.

1307
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:12,760
Exactly.

1308
01:36:12,760 --> 01:36:16,760
Come on, you've been there.

1309
01:36:16,760 --> 01:36:20,760
So, yes, that's our take on Jozzi, our professional take.

1310
01:36:20,760 --> 01:36:22,760
Dragovski was in goal for Spezia.

1311
01:36:22,760 --> 01:36:25,760
They played a 3-5-2 formation.

1312
01:36:25,760 --> 01:36:28,760
Nicolao, Kiwior and Lampada were the three at the back.

1313
01:36:28,760 --> 01:36:34,760
Reca on the left and Holm on the right with Agudelo, Ekdal and Borabia in the middle.

1314
01:36:34,760 --> 01:36:38,760
A striking partnership of Inzola and Jozzi.

1315
01:36:38,760 --> 01:36:41,760
Dumm and dumm.

1316
01:36:41,760 --> 01:36:45,760
For Fiorentina, it was a usual 4-3-3 with Terracciano in goal.

1317
01:36:45,760 --> 01:36:51,760
Doudou on the right, Biragi on the left with Martina Skvartan, Milenkovic as the center back duo.

1318
01:36:51,760 --> 01:36:55,760
I know you played as a right back for Fiorentina. Doudou, P.

1319
01:36:55,760 --> 01:36:57,760
All right, all right.

1320
01:36:57,760 --> 01:36:59,760
Don't worry, I'll get you.

1321
01:36:59,760 --> 01:37:09,760
Mandra, Aguara, Amrabat and Bonaventura in the midfield with Ikone on the right, Kuame on the left and Jovic up front.

1322
01:37:09,760 --> 01:37:14,760
Now, in the first minute of the game, there was a massive save by Terracciano.

1323
01:37:14,760 --> 01:37:16,760
Massive save on Inzola.

1324
01:37:16,760 --> 01:37:22,760
Honestly, and this would set the tone for the rest of the game, it's just the Terracciano masterclass.

1325
01:37:22,760 --> 01:37:24,760
So much better than Goli.

1326
01:37:24,760 --> 01:37:26,760
So much better. I have to ask a question for you.

1327
01:37:26,760 --> 01:37:29,760
He's so much better than Goli.

1328
01:37:29,760 --> 01:37:34,760
I don't know how they looked to improve their keeper situation, just made it completely fucking worse.

1329
01:37:34,760 --> 01:37:39,760
Like, what are we going to buy? Let's buy this guy who is barely a goalkeeper and barely a rapper.

1330
01:37:41,760 --> 01:37:43,760
Goli, Goli.

1331
01:37:44,760 --> 01:37:57,760
In the 14th minute, Cristiano Biragi gave one of his very dangerous corners to the colossal titan, that is a six foot five Nicola Milenkovic, who headed the ball into the back of the net.

1332
01:37:57,760 --> 01:38:08,760
In the 17th minute, Jovic set up Icona quite nicely with a looping ball over the top. Icona missed and Jovic hit the post right after.

1333
01:38:08,760 --> 01:38:12,760
Jovic is kind of growing into his role at 14. I think he's improving.

1334
01:38:12,760 --> 01:38:14,760
Slow and steady wins the race.

1335
01:38:14,760 --> 01:38:20,760
In the 22nd minute, Inzola faced Terracciano again. Another massive save by Terracciano over here.

1336
01:38:20,760 --> 01:38:25,760
And it was in the 35th minute that Spezi actually got their goal.

1337
01:38:25,760 --> 01:38:35,760
It was a set piece that basically caused a bunch of confusion in the back line of Fiorentina and ended up with Egdal giving the ball to Inzola, who tapped it home.

1338
01:38:35,760 --> 01:38:40,760
He finally managed to beat Terracciano on the third clear-cut chance.

1339
01:38:40,760 --> 01:38:57,760
In the 82nd minute, there was some chaos as Nicolaou had a studs up tackle on Cabral, which actually went to vore. The referee hadn't realized and it was a pretty fucking bad challenge.

1340
01:38:57,760 --> 01:39:00,760
And he was sent off with a straight red card.

1341
01:39:00,760 --> 01:39:12,760
And because of this, probably this must have been a leading factor in this because I don't think Fiorentina looked like they were going to penetrate and if anything, Spezi were looking very dangerous as well.

1342
01:39:12,760 --> 01:39:17,760
But yeah, in the 90th minute, there was a bunch of chaos, man.

1343
01:39:17,760 --> 01:39:32,760
Cuames squared the ball, Saponara shot, the shot was blocked, deflected of Saponara and headed goal-wards. It looked to be heading in. There was an amazing save and then eventually Cabral got on the rebound and scored.

1344
01:39:32,760 --> 01:39:38,760
Yeah, so it was 2-1 for Fiorentina. A very good result for them.

1345
01:39:38,760 --> 01:39:49,760
Spezia put up a great fight and they would have probably got something out of this game. I think if they had 11 men, they looked absolutely devastated at the end of the game. They felt like they did not deserve to lose that. What do you think?

1346
01:39:49,760 --> 01:40:01,760
I mean, they probably... I'm not sure. I think Fiorentina definitely deserved it more than Spezia. It's just that did Fiorentina deserve the full three points?

1347
01:40:01,760 --> 01:40:12,760
It was made tough for them, but they definitely persisted more. I mean, looking here, they got 27 shots away. You know what I mean? So that's a team that really, really wanted a win and a team that has been struggling.

1348
01:40:12,760 --> 01:40:24,760
So I mean, at this point for Fiorentina, there's not much quality when it comes to the final third, no? So it's about volume. It's about exhausting your opponents.

1349
01:40:24,760 --> 01:40:43,760
Spezia allowed Fiorentina that space and Fiorentina took it. They took their chances, but they kept attacking, they kept attacking until finally it took one of those chaotic moments for them to get the victory and they took it and they ran.

1350
01:40:43,760 --> 01:40:53,760
And I think they deserve props for that because they've been shit this season. Spezia have also been shit this season, but they didn't make it easy for Fiorentina and Fiorentina managed all three points.

1351
01:40:53,760 --> 01:41:07,760
Yes, bro. That's a very good little analysis. Fiorentina, this game, in my opinion, had a different look about themselves. They looked less rigid. It seemed like there was more room for creativity.

1352
01:41:07,760 --> 01:41:14,760
There were less of those predictable passes, you know, that take forever to build up. You know, we talk about the one million passes to get in front of them.

1353
01:41:14,760 --> 01:41:15,760
Exactly.

1354
01:41:15,760 --> 01:41:39,760
They were more direct and they even had two strikers on at the end of the game. So that was interesting to see. Jovic is growing, as I mentioned, Fiorentina are growing, my cock is growing.

1355
01:41:39,760 --> 01:41:40,760
That's so good.

1356
01:41:40,760 --> 01:41:54,760
Thanks, man. That was completely improvised. No, but what I was going to say is that Jovic, bro, he had an interview recently and they asked him, why Fiorentina, man?

1357
01:41:54,760 --> 01:42:05,760
And he went, I took a pay cut to be here, man. He actually said that he said that he addressed the pay cut. It's massive. He was getting paid in Real Madrid.

1358
01:42:05,760 --> 01:42:07,760
Who else would pay him that money to not score?

1359
01:42:07,760 --> 01:42:13,760
Exactly. Two goals in 52 games. But anyway, that's an accurate stat, actually.

1360
01:42:13,760 --> 01:42:14,760
Bravo.

1361
01:42:14,760 --> 01:42:24,760
So, yes, they are somehow. And he said basically that Fiorentina are a good springboard to get back to the top. I'm sure fans aren't too happy with these words, man.

1362
01:42:24,760 --> 01:42:34,760
I would fucking spit on him if he said that about the team I support. Like, what's the steam to you? The best springboard?

1363
01:42:34,760 --> 01:42:44,760
I don't get why players say this stuff. Probably, you know why? Because in their universe, people say, oh my God, look at Jovic, look where he ended up. Jovic from Real Madrid to Fiorentina. What's next?

1364
01:42:44,760 --> 01:42:53,760
Fucking Spezia, like, you know what I mean? So probably he says these to address those people directly. But it seems like a fucking terrible idea, in my opinion.

1365
01:42:53,760 --> 01:42:54,760
Of course, man.

1366
01:42:54,760 --> 01:42:58,760
Like, keep the fans in mind. If the fans love you, you're going to have a fucking way better time.

1367
01:42:58,760 --> 01:43:09,760
Exactly. If you're going to spend two or three years at Fiorentina, you're going to want them to love you. And a good springboard. He hasn't really been bouncing.

1368
01:43:09,760 --> 01:43:21,760
Yeah. He's lying on it. He has anxiety to go up the ladder at this point. So hit the ground running, man. And then you can be a little bit a little bit cocky.

1369
01:43:21,760 --> 01:43:24,760
Yeah, that's it, bro.

1370
01:43:24,760 --> 01:43:35,760
Spezia, once again, they look OK on their gut, in my opinion, aesthetically, like in certain moments of certain games.

1371
01:43:35,760 --> 01:43:44,760
But they don't. They're not. They've lost their streets. Like they've lost their street smartness about them. Street wiseness.

1372
01:43:44,760 --> 01:43:59,760
And it's like Spezia two seasons ago were blessed with Italiano. Last season, they responded well to a wild manager like Motta, who has his systems.

1373
01:43:59,760 --> 01:44:14,760
Clearly, this team can adapt to a coach's style. One reason or another, it doesn't seem like they're adapting to this style. Now, is it the style? I think so.

1374
01:44:14,760 --> 01:44:29,760
I think the style adopted doesn't suit the 11 men he has in front of him. Spezia are very street smart always. They knew the one thing is that fucking out of that bottom five, they could get points against anyone.

1375
01:44:29,760 --> 01:44:40,760
It doesn't seem like they're capable of getting points against anyone at this point, Spezia. And this season, I think they've cemented themselves as relegation contenders.

1376
01:44:40,760 --> 01:44:50,760
Definitely that they always are. They're just being named Spezia. I believe they're going to be relegation contenders, but they have nine points this season.

1377
01:44:50,760 --> 01:45:00,760
And the last five games, they only got one point. So they actually got... There is a dip. They started off better than they're doing now.

1378
01:45:00,760 --> 01:45:10,760
The fixtures, granted, have become kind of tough for them. But I think they are relegation candidates and they're serious ones at that.

1379
01:45:10,760 --> 01:45:20,760
I think this is the most at risk that they have been in the past three years, is the point that I'm making. They look significantly weaker than they did over the past few years.

1380
01:45:20,760 --> 01:45:32,760
I mean, you start looking at... Then you start looking at their team. You see the front two of Inzola and Giasi and you say, that's fucking dreadful. And then you look at Ekdal in the midfield.

1381
01:45:32,760 --> 01:45:46,760
Who, you remember him at Sampdoria when Sampdoria started going to shit. Not an ideal player to have. And then the rest is okay, but nothing to write home about.

1382
01:45:46,760 --> 01:45:58,760
And they need to address this gutsy issue. They do need to address it because if they don't start getting points, I was going to say by January, but now it's probably by the World Cup, is the new saying.

1383
01:45:58,760 --> 01:46:06,760
If they don't get a win by the World Cup, then he might be in danger. And I wonder who they're facing in that period.

1384
01:46:06,760 --> 01:46:16,760
Let's check. In the meantime, I will mention that Napoli have scored against Juventus in Liverpool in the Champions League.

1385
01:46:16,760 --> 01:46:23,760
But the goal is currently being checked due to the fact that Ostegard was most definitely in an offside position.

1386
01:46:23,760 --> 01:46:25,760
I didn't realize he was offside.

1387
01:46:25,760 --> 01:46:27,760
He must have been there.

1388
01:46:27,760 --> 01:46:31,760
Let's see. These are live reactions, guys.

1389
01:46:31,760 --> 01:46:36,760
The three is taking his time. Ostegard is there looking like a normal person.

1390
01:46:36,760 --> 01:46:38,760
I like Ostegard, man.

1391
01:46:38,760 --> 01:46:44,760
Same. I remember he got sent off really rash last season for Genoa.

1392
01:46:44,760 --> 01:46:45,760
In the Lanterna derby.

1393
01:46:45,760 --> 01:46:49,760
He pulled a motherfucker to the ground like, close your mouth.

1394
01:46:49,760 --> 01:46:56,760
My God. He just went straight for veneers when he should have gotten Invisalign, that guy. His mouth is all over the place.

1395
01:46:56,760 --> 01:47:08,760
I think I'll fill you in. In the meantime, Spezia play Milan away next and then they play Udinese at home.

1396
01:47:08,760 --> 01:47:12,760
So bye bye, Miss American.

1397
01:47:12,760 --> 01:47:14,760
Got the might be in trouble.

1398
01:47:14,760 --> 01:47:16,760
He's got to go.

1399
01:47:16,760 --> 01:47:21,760
That's our podcast episode title. Got to go.

1400
01:47:21,760 --> 01:47:23,760
Oh, nice. So I did.

1401
01:47:23,760 --> 01:47:24,760
Nice.

1402
01:47:24,760 --> 01:47:35,760
Spezia are currently in 16th with nine points, while Fiorentina are in 13th with 13 points.

1403
01:47:35,760 --> 01:47:38,760
I don't know if he was offside. I can't see him because of Aussie, man.

1404
01:47:38,760 --> 01:47:41,760
Man, this is the longest fucking VAR check in VAR history.

1405
01:47:41,760 --> 01:47:44,760
Like, this is Champions League, man. VAR is still new there.

1406
01:47:44,760 --> 01:47:48,760
Italy is actually ahead when it comes to VAR because it was introduced a year earlier.

1407
01:47:48,760 --> 01:47:52,760
Did you see Malta had its first VAR call recently?

1408
01:47:52,760 --> 01:47:53,760
You're kidding.

1409
01:47:53,760 --> 01:47:55,760
They're introducing VAR actually.

1410
01:47:55,760 --> 01:47:57,760
Yeah, it was the first VAR call.

1411
01:47:57,760 --> 01:47:58,760
How does it go?

1412
01:47:58,760 --> 01:48:03,760
Hilarious. Seeing a Maltese man like signaling for VAR.

1413
01:48:03,760 --> 01:48:08,760
From now on, they're going to use every excuse to check VAR, I feel.

1414
01:48:08,760 --> 01:48:13,760
Okay, I'm just going to jump into this. We'll see. Oh, he's touching his earpiece.

1415
01:48:13,760 --> 01:48:16,760
Let's go. I'll interrupt you.

1416
01:48:16,760 --> 01:48:18,760
Oh, he's checking it.

1417
01:48:18,760 --> 01:48:20,760
Offside, obviously.

1418
01:48:20,760 --> 01:48:28,760
Obviously, Allah, it was fucking... If you look at the red line and the green line, man,

1419
01:48:28,760 --> 01:48:31,760
it shouldn't take you five minutes to know if it's offside.

1420
01:48:31,760 --> 01:48:35,760
That's fucking not up for debate. It's a fact.

1421
01:48:35,760 --> 01:48:38,760
Man, I couldn't see him because of Aussie, man, though.

1422
01:48:38,760 --> 01:48:39,760
Yeah.

1423
01:48:39,760 --> 01:48:41,760
It's so funny they have one of those angles.

1424
01:48:41,760 --> 01:48:43,760
You got a good angle while you were presenting though.

1425
01:48:43,760 --> 01:48:44,760
Respect.

1426
01:48:44,760 --> 01:48:47,760
Monza won Bologna 2.

1427
01:48:47,760 --> 01:48:50,760
This is the last game we're going to be covering.

1428
01:48:50,760 --> 01:48:55,760
So Monza coming off a 4-1 home loss against Milan and Berlusconi.

1429
01:48:55,760 --> 01:48:58,760
There it was Bologna. Shut the fuck up, dog. Shut the fuck up.

1430
01:48:58,760 --> 01:49:01,760
I'm sorry, man, because you know after every illness comes a cold.

1431
01:49:01,760 --> 01:49:04,760
Exactly. Get the fuck away from me.

1432
01:49:04,760 --> 01:49:08,760
Bologna coming off a 2-0 victory against Lecce.

1433
01:49:08,760 --> 01:49:11,760
So Monza didn't want to play this match.

1434
01:49:11,760 --> 01:49:15,760
They wanted this match to be postponed after their defender, Pablo Mari,

1435
01:49:15,760 --> 01:49:19,760
was stabbed in a supermarket near Milan on Thursday.

1436
01:49:19,760 --> 01:49:24,760
By a madman while fucking walking with his kid in a pram

1437
01:49:24,760 --> 01:49:26,760
and he just felt excruciating pain behind him.

1438
01:49:26,760 --> 01:49:29,760
A guy just walked up to him and stabbed him along with six people.

1439
01:49:29,760 --> 01:49:35,760
It wasn't targeted towards any people of power or any people with money

1440
01:49:35,760 --> 01:49:36,760
or anything of the sort.

1441
01:49:36,760 --> 01:49:41,760
Pablo Mari happened to be in one of these freak attacks.

1442
01:49:41,760 --> 01:49:42,760
He was one of the six people.

1443
01:49:42,760 --> 01:49:46,760
Toe to the throat slash the pankey and the guy was killed.

1444
01:49:46,760 --> 01:49:48,760
In front of him. He witnessed hell, miskeen.

1445
01:49:48,760 --> 01:49:51,760
If it were up to him, he would have been back in the team on Monday.

1446
01:49:51,760 --> 01:49:52,760
Yeah, that's what he wanted.

1447
01:49:52,760 --> 01:49:57,760
That's what he wanted. The team were giving him two months to rest.

1448
01:49:57,760 --> 01:50:00,760
I think he should take the two months to rest,

1449
01:50:00,760 --> 01:50:02,760
but I think the team should also listen to him.

1450
01:50:02,760 --> 01:50:08,760
And if he feels he's ready and he feels like sometimes the shit just brings a different side out of you.

1451
01:50:08,760 --> 01:50:13,760
Like Chet Baker, the fucking sax player and the jazz artist.

1452
01:50:13,760 --> 01:50:14,760
He got fucked up.

1453
01:50:14,760 --> 01:50:17,760
They knocked every single one of his teeth out.

1454
01:50:17,760 --> 01:50:18,760
It took a two year hiatus.

1455
01:50:18,760 --> 01:50:23,760
Now when he came back, he's like, just an animal on the sax.

1456
01:50:23,760 --> 01:50:24,760
That's it, man.

1457
01:50:24,760 --> 01:50:27,760
Then you have people like Mika, see their sister falling onto a gate

1458
01:50:27,760 --> 01:50:29,760
and getting impaled and they never made it.

1459
01:50:29,760 --> 01:50:30,760
Exactly.

1460
01:50:30,760 --> 01:50:32,760
It depends how you react to things, I guess.

1461
01:50:32,760 --> 01:50:36,760
It's not the experience that makes the man.

1462
01:50:36,760 --> 01:50:40,560
It's how the man reacts to the experience that makes the man.

1463
01:50:40,560 --> 01:50:41,560
Brilliant.

1464
01:50:41,560 --> 01:50:43,440
I couldn't have put it better, bro.

1465
01:50:43,440 --> 01:50:47,960
I don't think Miss Angela of English could have put it better, to be quite frank.

1466
01:50:47,960 --> 01:50:50,520
It's interesting because he's on loan from Arsenal.

1467
01:50:50,520 --> 01:50:55,320
So Arsenal sent him on loan to get stabbed in a supermarket.

1468
01:50:55,320 --> 01:50:59,040
A shopping mall, I believe.

1469
01:50:59,040 --> 01:51:05,320
The Arsenal teammates actually held up his shirt with like, come on Pablo.

1470
01:51:05,320 --> 01:51:10,000
Yes, Pablo, go get him.

1471
01:51:10,000 --> 01:51:11,560
Fantastic pronunciation lesson.

1472
01:51:11,560 --> 01:51:12,560
Yeah.

1473
01:51:12,560 --> 01:51:15,800
Anyways, shall we jump into the game?

1474
01:51:15,800 --> 01:51:20,620
So it was Monza that opened the scoring since he was stripped by Arbisher and Petania slotted

1475
01:51:20,620 --> 01:51:22,500
in the penalty brilliantly.

1476
01:51:22,500 --> 01:51:26,280
It was kind of like a Giorgio Ino penalty, just better placed.

1477
01:51:26,280 --> 01:51:31,080
I can't wait to witness this Petania 2.0 more and more.

1478
01:51:31,080 --> 01:51:32,800
He looks really fit right now.

1479
01:51:32,800 --> 01:51:33,800
He really does, man.

1480
01:51:33,800 --> 01:51:35,920
He really does and he looks happy.

1481
01:51:35,920 --> 01:51:40,280
In the 60th minute, just on the hour, Mark Lewis Ferguson made it 1-1.

1482
01:51:40,280 --> 01:51:44,960
It was a beautiful lofted ball by Posh and it was finished off lovely by Ferguson, took

1483
01:51:44,960 --> 01:51:47,800
the ball down nicely, finished beautifully.

1484
01:51:47,800 --> 01:51:53,280
It was then in the 73rd minute that Orsolini just had to one up Ferguson.

1485
01:51:53,280 --> 01:51:55,360
It was another brilliantly lofted ball this time.

1486
01:51:55,360 --> 01:51:56,780
It was by Xerxay.

1487
01:51:56,780 --> 01:52:02,280
It was taken down and finished into the top corner by Orsolini and he screamed like an

1488
01:52:02,280 --> 01:52:03,280
animal.

1489
01:52:03,280 --> 01:52:05,200
It was a score that he went...

1490
01:52:05,200 --> 01:52:08,360
That's exactly what happened.

1491
01:52:08,360 --> 01:52:10,360
It's so true.

1492
01:52:10,360 --> 01:52:11,800
It meant so much to him.

1493
01:52:11,800 --> 01:52:17,400
You can see before he went on, Mota grabbed him from the back of the fucking head, pulled

1494
01:52:17,400 --> 01:52:21,680
him close and he's just like fucking screaming in his ear essentially.

1495
01:52:21,680 --> 01:52:23,320
Mota is just encouraging.

1496
01:52:23,320 --> 01:52:24,320
He's hyping him the hell up.

1497
01:52:24,320 --> 01:52:25,320
He was probably telling him, you're going to go out there.

1498
01:52:25,320 --> 01:52:26,320
You're going to score the winner.

1499
01:52:26,320 --> 01:52:31,320
And it happened that he couldn't believe it.

1500
01:52:31,320 --> 01:52:34,680
He was so gassed, so gassed.

1501
01:52:34,680 --> 01:52:37,120
You know what I noticed about Mota?

1502
01:52:37,120 --> 01:52:39,200
He sounds too much like Piolli.

1503
01:52:39,200 --> 01:52:42,960
I was on my phone on the sofa and I was saying a press conference.

1504
01:52:42,960 --> 01:52:44,280
I'm like, oh, Piolli, I love him.

1505
01:52:44,280 --> 01:52:46,200
I look up and I see Mota.

1506
01:52:46,200 --> 01:52:49,880
Oh no, I don't love him.

1507
01:52:49,880 --> 01:52:57,040
Orsolini has to be one of the most technically gifted shit players.

1508
01:52:57,040 --> 01:53:01,000
He's two footed, great close ball control.

1509
01:53:01,000 --> 01:53:06,280
He also has that like explosiveness to him where he can just bulldoze through players.

1510
01:53:06,280 --> 01:53:07,280
Exactly.

1511
01:53:07,280 --> 01:53:08,280
He could play on the wing.

1512
01:53:08,280 --> 01:53:09,280
He could play attacking midfield.

1513
01:53:09,280 --> 01:53:11,960
He could probably play a bit deeper in the midfield as well.

1514
01:53:11,960 --> 01:53:14,840
He has never found that continuity, man, Orsolini.

1515
01:53:14,840 --> 01:53:16,160
He's a bit form ridden.

1516
01:53:16,160 --> 01:53:18,480
Yes, very, very form ridden.

1517
01:53:18,480 --> 01:53:20,120
And how old is Orsolini now?

1518
01:53:20,120 --> 01:53:21,120
He must be 27.

1519
01:53:21,120 --> 01:53:24,760
He must be 27 at this stage.

1520
01:53:24,760 --> 01:53:25,760
Orsolini age.

1521
01:53:25,760 --> 01:53:26,760
25.

1522
01:53:26,760 --> 01:53:27,760
25.

1523
01:53:27,760 --> 01:53:28,760
Okay, fuck me.

1524
01:53:28,760 --> 01:53:29,760
He's my age.

1525
01:53:29,760 --> 01:53:31,760
He's three days older than me.

1526
01:53:31,760 --> 01:53:33,240
25 years old.

1527
01:53:33,240 --> 01:53:34,520
I mean, he still has a future.

1528
01:53:34,520 --> 01:53:35,520
He does.

1529
01:53:35,520 --> 01:53:36,520
He does.

1530
01:53:36,520 --> 01:53:37,520
He does.

1531
01:53:37,520 --> 01:53:38,520
I didn't know he was that old.

1532
01:53:38,520 --> 01:53:39,520
Maybe.

1533
01:53:39,520 --> 01:53:43,840
I thought last season that he needed a change of environment to get him going again.

1534
01:53:43,840 --> 01:53:45,280
That's what I'm thinking right now.

1535
01:53:45,280 --> 01:53:49,760
Because he's been at Bologna since 2018 and it hasn't really worked for him.

1536
01:53:49,760 --> 01:53:50,760
No.

1537
01:53:50,760 --> 01:53:54,680
For a 25 year old to have been somewhere since 2018, you'd think that they kind of would

1538
01:53:54,680 --> 01:53:56,800
cement themselves as a central figure.

1539
01:53:56,800 --> 01:54:00,000
This is someone who came from Juventus and Atalanta.

1540
01:54:00,000 --> 01:54:01,000
Exactly.

1541
01:54:01,000 --> 01:54:02,000
You know what I mean?

1542
01:54:02,000 --> 01:54:07,160
At Bologna since 2018, four years, you'd expect this guy to become a bit of a leader.

1543
01:54:07,160 --> 01:54:08,160
For sure, man.

1544
01:54:08,160 --> 01:54:09,160
For sure.

1545
01:54:09,160 --> 01:54:10,160
A staple figure.

1546
01:54:10,160 --> 01:54:14,200
And he was that, but he's been demoted to the bench and he hasn't quite seen himself.

1547
01:54:14,200 --> 01:54:16,320
That's why this shit would mean so much.

1548
01:54:16,320 --> 01:54:18,840
It's beautiful to see.

1549
01:54:18,840 --> 01:54:20,840
Good win for Bologna.

1550
01:54:20,840 --> 01:54:22,320
Monza aren't an easy side to beat.

1551
01:54:22,320 --> 01:54:27,760
We saw they went on a streak of three victories that did change their season.

1552
01:54:27,760 --> 01:54:32,520
They're now also progressing in Coppa Italia, which is also good to see for them after they

1553
01:54:32,520 --> 01:54:35,160
beat Odinese, Midweek.

1554
01:54:35,160 --> 01:54:40,880
Our boy Luca, who sent us the voice notes about Bologna, was at the game.

1555
01:54:40,880 --> 01:54:41,880
Was he?

1556
01:54:41,880 --> 01:54:44,920
He posted a video jumping and singing with the fans.

1557
01:54:44,920 --> 01:54:47,600
How good he saw a win like that.

1558
01:54:47,600 --> 01:54:50,600
Was that with Odinese again or the Bologna game?

1559
01:54:50,600 --> 01:54:51,600
The Bologna game.

1560
01:54:51,600 --> 01:54:52,600
Wait, wait, obviously the Bologna.

1561
01:54:52,600 --> 01:54:53,600
Ah, Lala, shit, sorry.

1562
01:54:53,600 --> 01:54:54,600
The Bologna game away from home.

1563
01:54:54,600 --> 01:54:55,600
Of course, this game.

1564
01:54:55,600 --> 01:54:56,600
Yes, yes, yes.

1565
01:54:56,600 --> 01:54:57,600
How cool.

1566
01:54:57,600 --> 01:55:06,680
Everyone in the world deserves to see their team win live, ideally at their own stadium,

1567
01:55:06,680 --> 01:55:09,800
but it's cool to see them away from home and see them win as well.

1568
01:55:09,800 --> 01:55:17,080
I've never seen Milan away, except when they played Bricciacara.

1569
01:55:17,080 --> 01:55:20,320
I saw them against Sampdoria last season.

1570
01:55:20,320 --> 01:55:21,320
Exactly.

1571
01:55:21,320 --> 01:55:24,200
And you said they had shit food in the stadium.

1572
01:55:24,200 --> 01:55:28,720
Shit food, shit toilets, but the Milan fans were lit that day.

1573
01:55:28,720 --> 01:55:29,720
Of course, man.

1574
01:55:29,720 --> 01:55:33,440
Monza played well, but they didn't quite do enough.

1575
01:55:33,440 --> 01:55:36,800
I think it goes down to at the end of the day, Bologna have been struggling, but then

1576
01:55:36,800 --> 01:55:40,080
you look at the quality that they have in their team.

1577
01:55:40,080 --> 01:55:44,560
They're still a top team, Bologna, not a top team, you know what I mean?

1578
01:55:44,560 --> 01:55:50,360
But they should still be aiming for that tenth spot with the players that they have.

1579
01:55:50,360 --> 01:55:52,520
But now that the manager that they have.

1580
01:55:52,520 --> 01:55:53,520
I think so, too.

1581
01:55:53,520 --> 01:55:58,920
It's just good that they managed to rack up these two victories in Bologna.

1582
01:55:58,920 --> 01:56:02,760
So now the relegation whispers can kind of quieten.

1583
01:56:02,760 --> 01:56:03,760
Exactly.

1584
01:56:03,760 --> 01:56:11,200
Now, shifting a little bit to Monza, what a performance by Di Gregorio.

1585
01:56:11,200 --> 01:56:15,320
He had a great game, although he lost.

1586
01:56:15,320 --> 01:56:20,560
This is the second manager in a row that has benched Craniot for Di Gregorio.

1587
01:56:20,560 --> 01:56:24,120
It's not just a rule that every manager needs to start Di Gregorio over Craniot.

1588
01:56:24,120 --> 01:56:27,680
There were two managers and they both decided to start him over Craniot.

1589
01:56:27,680 --> 01:56:29,480
Di Gregorio is a serious goalkeeper.

1590
01:56:29,480 --> 01:56:34,320
I don't know if I said it on the podcast back in the day, but I remember being at Dan's

1591
01:56:34,320 --> 01:56:35,320
when I was dog sitting.

1592
01:56:35,320 --> 01:56:36,320
I don't know if you remember that.

1593
01:56:36,320 --> 01:56:37,320
I was a blur for him.

1594
01:56:37,320 --> 01:56:38,320
I took it as a bit of a holiday.

1595
01:56:38,320 --> 01:56:39,320
I remember.

1596
01:56:39,320 --> 01:56:40,320
I was constantly fucked up.

1597
01:56:40,320 --> 01:56:44,600
Me and Kike came over to get a bit crazy.

1598
01:56:44,600 --> 01:56:47,240
Sure it lifts my belly out massively.

1599
01:56:47,240 --> 01:56:48,240
Horrible.

1600
01:56:48,240 --> 01:56:55,440
But yeah, I had the TV on and I was watching Monza in the playoffs.

1601
01:56:55,440 --> 01:56:58,560
And I remember thinking this Di Gregorio guy looks fucking amazing.

1602
01:56:58,560 --> 01:56:59,560
He looks amazing.

1603
01:56:59,560 --> 01:57:00,560
He looks amazing.

1604
01:57:00,560 --> 01:57:03,360
And then when eventually Craniot was signed, I was like, what a shame.

1605
01:57:03,360 --> 01:57:09,400
Di Gregorio, there's no chance like he's going to play with Craniot over there.

1606
01:57:09,400 --> 01:57:12,160
But you know, fucking Craniot is there.

1607
01:57:12,160 --> 01:57:14,000
Di Gregorio is starting.

1608
01:57:14,000 --> 01:57:21,560
He's 25 years old man and I can't see him being benched.

1609
01:57:21,560 --> 01:57:25,120
Did Craniot make the correct move by going to Monza?

1610
01:57:25,120 --> 01:57:28,080
I mean, Craniot must have not been expecting this.

1611
01:57:28,080 --> 01:57:34,600
He probably thought I'm going to go into this newly promoted team with it's going to be

1612
01:57:34,600 --> 01:57:35,600
me.

1613
01:57:35,600 --> 01:57:37,680
It's going to be Matteo.

1614
01:57:37,680 --> 01:57:38,680
It's going to be Capri.

1615
01:57:38,680 --> 01:57:42,520
It's going to be, you know, him and the squad.

1616
01:57:42,520 --> 01:57:44,560
He's being benched by Di Gregorio.

1617
01:57:44,560 --> 01:57:47,040
Di Gregorio who's younger than him.

1618
01:57:47,040 --> 01:57:48,040
By three years.

1619
01:57:48,040 --> 01:57:49,640
Craniot is no longer a young goalkeeper.

1620
01:57:49,640 --> 01:57:51,960
Craniot is 28 years old.

1621
01:57:51,960 --> 01:57:53,960
For a goalkeeper, sure it's a bit younger.

1622
01:57:53,960 --> 01:57:57,240
But I would say Di Gregorio right now.

1623
01:57:57,240 --> 01:58:00,600
The performance he's been putting in at 25.

1624
01:58:00,600 --> 01:58:08,560
Now Craniot at 28, man, his thought must have been when he was changing team, how am I going

1625
01:58:08,560 --> 01:58:11,620
to stay in Serie A and get minutes?

1626
01:58:11,620 --> 01:58:15,800
It needs to be the perfect balance of staying in the league and getting an adequate amount

1627
01:58:15,800 --> 01:58:16,800
of time.

1628
01:58:16,800 --> 01:58:20,560
Now I don't think that Gagliani and Berlusconi bullshitted him and told him he's going to

1629
01:58:20,560 --> 01:58:22,100
start every match.

1630
01:58:22,100 --> 01:58:23,600
I think he was willing.

1631
01:58:23,600 --> 01:58:27,780
Said if there's a place where I'll fight for my place and I'm likely to win, it's going

1632
01:58:27,780 --> 01:58:29,400
to be Monza.

1633
01:58:29,400 --> 01:58:34,240
Otherwise we know how great the quality of goalkeepers is in Serie A.

1634
01:58:34,240 --> 01:58:35,240
He chose Monza.

1635
01:58:35,240 --> 01:58:36,240
There's this project.

1636
01:58:36,240 --> 01:58:37,240
It's attractive.

1637
01:58:37,240 --> 01:58:38,240
It's lucrative.

1638
01:58:38,240 --> 01:58:40,200
He can become a legend there.

1639
01:58:40,200 --> 01:58:44,440
He's on loan from Caliari, turns out.

1640
01:58:44,440 --> 01:58:49,240
I don't know if they have an option to buy or not, but if Caliari come right back up,

1641
01:58:49,240 --> 01:58:52,360
I wouldn't be surprised if he went back there though.

1642
01:58:52,360 --> 01:58:53,360
Probably man.

1643
01:58:53,360 --> 01:58:54,360
Yeah.

1644
01:58:54,360 --> 01:58:55,360
Probably.

1645
01:58:55,360 --> 01:58:57,360
Caliari are a Serie A team that are in Serie B, you know what I mean?

1646
01:58:57,360 --> 01:59:00,640
Monza are a Serie B team that are in Serie A.

1647
01:59:00,640 --> 01:59:05,600
I don't think they'll ever be in Serie B again, Monza, especially as long as Berlusconi and

1648
01:59:05,600 --> 01:59:06,600
Gagliani are there.

1649
01:59:06,600 --> 01:59:09,520
With the financial backing that they have, it's difficult.

1650
01:59:09,520 --> 01:59:14,600
And now the pull factor as well, so long as they've got people like Pessina, Sensi, Caprari,

1651
01:59:14,600 --> 01:59:19,240
Petania, Di Gregorio, Gragni on the bench.

1652
01:59:19,240 --> 01:59:22,440
So yeah, but I don't think there's too much to add.

1653
01:59:22,440 --> 01:59:26,720
I'll just tell you guys where they stand in the league and I think we can call it an early

1654
01:59:26,720 --> 01:59:27,720
night.

1655
01:59:27,720 --> 01:59:28,720
An early night, dude.

1656
01:59:28,720 --> 01:59:29,720
Half, not even half 10.

1657
01:59:29,720 --> 01:59:30,720
Look at us.

1658
01:59:30,720 --> 01:59:31,720
Look at us.

1659
01:59:31,720 --> 01:59:33,960
We have time to do things.

1660
01:59:33,960 --> 01:59:38,000
Play FIFA, watch the Simpsons.

1661
01:59:38,000 --> 01:59:39,000
Enjoy life.

1662
01:59:39,000 --> 01:59:43,240
Bologna are in 12th on 13 points.

1663
01:59:43,240 --> 01:59:45,380
Look at them fighting for the 10.

1664
01:59:45,380 --> 01:59:47,480
Look at them fighting for the 10.

1665
01:59:47,480 --> 01:59:50,520
Monza, Jesus I'm choking.

1666
01:59:50,520 --> 01:59:54,520
Monza in 15th on 10 points.

1667
01:59:54,520 --> 01:59:56,620
What do you think of this episode, King?

1668
01:59:56,620 --> 01:59:59,520
So this has been it, man.

1669
01:59:59,520 --> 02:00:02,960
I think I'll listen back and let you know.

1670
02:00:02,960 --> 02:00:06,480
We hope you guys enjoyed it.

1671
02:00:06,480 --> 02:00:07,480
We're back.

1672
02:00:07,480 --> 02:00:09,240
We're back for good now.

1673
02:00:09,240 --> 02:00:13,080
We're going to be on a bit of a tight schedule in the coming weeks, but we'll make it work.

1674
02:00:13,080 --> 02:00:16,920
I'm going to be in Amsterdam from Thursday to Monday.

1675
02:00:16,920 --> 02:00:20,480
So for next week's episode, I might be a little bit of a dance.

1676
02:00:20,480 --> 02:00:22,600
A little bit of a brain dead.

1677
02:00:22,600 --> 02:00:25,320
Of course, he's going to a dubstep party.

1678
02:00:25,320 --> 02:00:27,040
I might not hear anything you say.

1679
02:00:27,040 --> 02:00:28,320
You're going to come back an idiot.

1680
02:00:28,320 --> 02:00:34,920
You're going to be talking to me and I'm just going to hear.

1681
02:00:34,920 --> 02:00:42,560
Rick comes back and I fuck off to Bordeaux on Wednesday and I get back on Sunday.

1682
02:00:42,560 --> 02:00:43,560
And then I have a week here.

1683
02:00:43,560 --> 02:00:44,560
You're going to Bordeaux on Wednesday.

1684
02:00:44,560 --> 02:00:47,560
That means we should probably record on Tuesday, right?

1685
02:00:47,560 --> 02:00:48,560
For sure.

1686
02:00:48,560 --> 02:00:51,880
Oh my God, it's going to be tight, but we'll do it.

1687
02:00:51,880 --> 02:00:52,880
We'll do it.

1688
02:00:52,880 --> 02:00:53,880
We'll do it.

1689
02:00:53,880 --> 02:00:57,480
And then the week after I'm going to Firenze.

1690
02:00:57,480 --> 02:00:58,480
So nice.

1691
02:00:58,480 --> 02:00:59,960
Good shit.

1692
02:00:59,960 --> 02:01:01,360
I have a week away there.

1693
02:01:01,360 --> 02:01:03,000
So we need to see how we're going to make it work.

1694
02:01:03,000 --> 02:01:04,000
No problem.

1695
02:01:04,000 --> 02:01:08,240
We'll bring a guest or we'll pre-plan.

1696
02:01:08,240 --> 02:01:09,960
Thank you guys for listening.
