1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:06,080 Hello and welcome back to Serie A Spotlight Season 2 Episode 17, we're your host Jake 2 00:00:06,080 --> 00:00:11,280 and Matt. Been a while guys but we're looking forward to Serie A restarting on January 4th 3 00:00:11,280 --> 00:00:16,320 after the spectacle that was the World Cup so we can keep you guys updated and keep on doing what 4 00:00:16,320 --> 00:00:22,000 we love. As you may have noticed we did not plug an intro into this episode as we would actually 5 00:00:22,000 --> 00:00:27,760 like to use an old one from Season 1 Episode 33 where we highlighted the career of the late 6 00:00:27,760 --> 00:00:33,280 Sinisa Mihailovic who sadly passed away after his second battle with leukemia last week and it's 7 00:00:33,280 --> 00:00:38,400 safe to say bro that I was devastated. I was still on holiday when I heard the news. Yeah it was 8 00:00:38,400 --> 00:00:43,440 devastating we know that Sinisa was like you mentioned battling with leukemia for the second 9 00:00:43,440 --> 00:00:48,640 time round. We knew that obviously he had to leave his duties at Bologna because of that but I had 10 00:00:48,640 --> 00:00:54,080 no idea thankfully because that shows that media gave him some peace while he was going through 11 00:00:54,080 --> 00:00:58,160 devastating moments. Yeah it's weird because you see him you know week in week out on TV and you see 12 00:00:58,160 --> 00:01:03,680 him at his worst you know but then he kind of gets better and you're like okay you know he's 13 00:01:03,680 --> 00:01:09,360 beating this and then it happens so suddenly man it's so sad. And that was his personality as well 14 00:01:09,360 --> 00:01:14,000 the last time I saw him on TV a journalist was asking questions and Sinisa was only cracking 15 00:01:14,000 --> 00:01:21,120 jokes. It seemed to me like that was definitely a massive part of his personality which is why 16 00:01:21,120 --> 00:01:27,520 everyone around the world loves Mihailovic even people that are outside of the Serie A scene even 17 00:01:27,520 --> 00:01:33,680 show him respect. Yeah and everyone said the same thing like leader, warrior, grave man, gentleman. 18 00:01:33,680 --> 00:01:39,200 Exactly. Yeah we've lost a real character over here. We have and we hope you guys get to learn 19 00:01:39,200 --> 00:01:43,840 something new about the late Mihailovic through this clip and if not maybe you can reminisce 20 00:01:43,840 --> 00:01:58,240 on what was a sensational career. 21 00:02:01,920 --> 00:02:06,560 This goal was scored by Sinisa Mihailovic for Inter against Roma from a free kick back in- 22 00:02:06,560 --> 00:02:12,320 Stop! What the fuck is wrong with you? Why are we covering this one and not the free kick hat trick 23 00:02:12,320 --> 00:02:16,720 against Sampdoria? I was looking for that one obviously but I couldn't find good commentary 24 00:02:16,720 --> 00:02:20,720 for it what do you want me to do? Okay fuck it we'll just pretend maybe they they won't realize. 25 00:02:20,720 --> 00:02:25,600 No they won't catch on. This goal was scored by Sinisa Mihailovic for Lazio against Sampdoria and a 5-2 26 00:02:25,600 --> 00:02:31,920 win back in 1998 where he scored the hat trick of free kicks. Bro that one though like all jokes aside 27 00:02:31,920 --> 00:02:39,840 it was crazy because he had just joined Lazio from Samp that season so he joined them and they played 28 00:02:39,840 --> 00:02:45,840 each other and he scored a hat trick all from free kicks. The level of disrespect. Four years there right? 29 00:02:45,840 --> 00:02:51,200 He spent four years at Sampdoria then he spent around four at Lazio as well. He actually holds 30 00:02:51,200 --> 00:02:56,240 the records for the most free kick goals in Serie A history he has about 28 I believe. Jesus Christ. 31 00:02:56,240 --> 00:02:59,920 It's super interesting because the man was a centre back but you could have easily mistaken 32 00:02:59,920 --> 00:03:04,000 him for a centre midfielder with his style of play. And he probably could have played there as well he 33 00:03:04,000 --> 00:03:08,240 was known for his long range shooting his long range passing and that kind of caused him to push 34 00:03:08,240 --> 00:03:15,200 up into the midfield throughout the game. He scored a total of 66 goals from the centre back 35 00:03:15,200 --> 00:03:21,520 position. Like you said 28 goals of those were free kicks and he's played for clubs like Vojvodina, 36 00:03:21,520 --> 00:03:27,200 Red Star which are obviously Serbian and Yugoslavian clubs, Yugoslavian at the time 37 00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:33,600 and in Italy he's played for Roma, Samp, Lazio and Inter. He's won pretty much everything there is to 38 00:03:33,600 --> 00:03:38,880 win in Italy. He has won the Serie A with Lazio, the Coppa Italia twice with Lazio, the Super 39 00:03:38,880 --> 00:03:44,880 Coppa Italiana twice with Lazio, the UEFA Cup winners cup and the UEFA Super Cup all with Lazio 40 00:03:44,880 --> 00:03:50,080 alone. Then with Inter he's also won the Serie A in 2006, the Coppa Italia on two separate occasions 41 00:03:50,080 --> 00:03:55,520 on the Super Coppa Italiana in 2005. His love for football didn't really allow him to step away from 42 00:03:55,520 --> 00:04:01,040 the game after retirement. He joined Inter's management staff the season after he retired. 43 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:06,800 He became their assistant manager. He also went on to coach Catania, Fiorentina, Serbia, Sampdoria, 44 00:04:06,800 --> 00:04:13,520 Milan, Torino, Sporting and two stints at Bologna who he is currently managing. I mean the guy has 45 00:04:13,520 --> 00:04:18,800 just had a glittering professional career and he's loved by millions across the world but his youth 46 00:04:18,800 --> 00:04:24,800 life wasn't exactly easy and it's probably even harder nowadays. Yes he came up from very humble 47 00:04:24,800 --> 00:04:30,560 beginnings. His father Bogdan was a Serbian truck driver while his mother whose Croatian worked in 48 00:04:30,560 --> 00:04:35,440 a shoe factory. And his parents were Serbian and Croatian. This was all during the Croatian 49 00:04:35,440 --> 00:04:42,400 war of independence from Yugoslavia and his house was even destroyed by Croatian forces among whom 50 00:04:42,400 --> 00:04:47,920 was his childhood best friend who was part of the forces an ethnic Croat which forced his parents 51 00:04:47,920 --> 00:04:53,600 to actually flee their homes obviously. Despite this he has since forgiven his childhood friend 52 00:04:53,600 --> 00:04:58,960 in a meeting in Zagreb prior to the crucial Euro 2000 qualification match between Yugoslavia and 53 00:04:58,960 --> 00:05:04,960 Croatia which as you can imagine was absolute fireworks. You can just imagine the political 54 00:05:04,960 --> 00:05:10,960 back and forth between the supporters. Nowadays unfortunately Mihailović is facing very different 55 00:05:10,960 --> 00:05:16,960 struggles as he's currently undergoing his second battle with leukemia which at least he seems very 56 00:05:16,960 --> 00:05:21,840 confident of beating for a second time. Yes he said that leukemia has got quite the pair of balls 57 00:05:21,840 --> 00:05:26,000 to be challenging him once again and that he's confident he'll beat it quickly since he caught 58 00:05:26,000 --> 00:05:33,120 it early and has a great medical team with him basically. Yeah we wish Sunisa and his family 59 00:05:33,120 --> 00:05:38,400 all the best despite this message coming from two drunken idiots in Malta we genuinely hope to see 60 00:05:38,400 --> 00:05:43,920 him back on the touchline as soon as possible with a big big smile on his face some fresh kicks 61 00:05:43,920 --> 00:05:49,440 obviously and lots of love from his loyal fan base in Bologna. And thank you for the 3-0 victory 62 00:05:49,440 --> 00:05:58,720 over Inter. Cheers! 63 00:05:59,280 --> 00:06:04,480 Rest in peace Mihailović thank you for the memories you certainly won't be forgotten. 64 00:06:04,480 --> 00:06:11,040 Our thoughts also go to Gianluca Vialli as he is battling pancreatic cancer for the second time 65 00:06:11,040 --> 00:06:15,760 running. His family and friends apparently just visited him in a London hospital as the situation 66 00:06:15,760 --> 00:06:20,240 seems to be worsening since he's taken a break from his duties with the Italian national team 67 00:06:20,240 --> 00:06:24,960 to focus on his health. Sad news all around a little bit of a depressing start to the episode 68 00:06:24,960 --> 00:06:29,440 we apologize and we have one legend passing while the other is fighting for his life we wish them 69 00:06:29,440 --> 00:06:35,440 and their family strength and good fortune and a better 2023. Now bro I have a little tale about 70 00:06:35,440 --> 00:06:41,920 Vialli that many people don't probably don't know. In 1998 at the tender age of 33 he became the 71 00:06:41,920 --> 00:06:47,280 first Italian manager in the Premier League with Chelsea. He took over from Gullit and he was 72 00:06:47,280 --> 00:06:52,320 actually a player manager being 33 he would manage and play that's not very common nowadays at all. 73 00:06:53,280 --> 00:06:57,440 He won the league cup and the cup winners cup he ended up winning basically five trophies in less 74 00:06:57,440 --> 00:07:04,320 than three years at Chelsea incredible. He was sacked five games into the 2000 season for a 75 00:07:04,320 --> 00:07:09,840 mediocre start to the season and a falling out with De Champs and Zola. Oh my god. Yeah so that's why 76 00:07:09,840 --> 00:07:16,560 his manager and then I believe he went to Watford and then he took the helm at the well took the 77 00:07:16,560 --> 00:07:21,120 helm not the helm but he helped out with the Italian national team after that. That's a great 78 00:07:21,120 --> 00:07:27,200 story man I can't think of the last player manager who's had success and an Italian man doing it in 79 00:07:27,200 --> 00:07:33,920 England as well is always culturally such a big thing to accomplish for the Italians. Truly bro 80 00:07:33,920 --> 00:07:40,480 truly is. Yeah but before we get into the return of Serie A guys we can't not address the dramatic 81 00:07:40,480 --> 00:07:46,800 ending to the 2022 World Cup final in Qatar where Argentina and France ended in a 3-3 draw after an 82 00:07:46,800 --> 00:07:52,960 inspiring comeback by France and Kylian Mbappe who became the first player since 1966 to score a 83 00:07:52,960 --> 00:07:58,160 hat-trick in a World Cup final to take the two countries to penalties. It was Leo Messi and 84 00:07:58,160 --> 00:08:05,600 Argentina who prevailed winning the shootout 4-2 thanks to Emiliano Martinez. What a final brother 85 00:08:05,600 --> 00:08:12,720 tell us how did you see the final bro? So okay so I'm back of course as you may have noticed. 86 00:08:14,560 --> 00:08:18,160 By the way good job on the episode. Thank you. While I was missing I enjoyed listening to that 87 00:08:18,160 --> 00:08:22,400 while driving for fucking five hours straight on long highways that never end in South Africa. 88 00:08:22,400 --> 00:08:26,800 It was amazing it was a good episode it was a very good episode I enjoyed and Jamie and 89 00:08:26,800 --> 00:08:31,200 Theo thank you very much for stepping in and well done Matt for getting it done.

Lautaro is the 158 00:14:43,680 --> 00:14:50,320 2022 version of Gonzalo Higuain when it comes to this Argentina it's messy trying to set them up and him just 159 00:14:50,320 --> 00:14:55,280 missing everything and panicking I can't believe as Milan fans we're so terrified of Lukaku and 160 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:59,600 Lautaro they they just put them on the world stage and they seem to be two of the worst strikers and 161 00:14:59,600 --> 00:15:03,840 the competition man they did not have a good showing up of course it's always different 162 00:15:04,800 --> 00:15:10,480 they're in their comfort zone there exactly Di Maria the Juventus winger scored in the World 163 00:15:10,480 --> 00:15:15,120 Cup final after he seemed to be playing in rotation a little bit probably because of his fitness as 164 00:15:15,120 --> 00:15:18,960 well but you put this guy on the biggest stage you put him in the finals this is the third 165 00:15:18,960 --> 00:15:24,160 final he scored in in a row brother and he knew he knew he texted his wife before the game he 166 00:15:24,160 --> 00:15:28,720 told her honey I'm gonna score in the in the World Cup final and we're gonna be the champions 167 00:15:28,720 --> 00:15:34,000 it's my destiny it's written in the stars like yeah crazy the confidence and he did it man three 168 00:15:34,000 --> 00:15:38,960 three finals in a row scoring in three finals in a row that's that's absolute mayhem he is a big 169 00:15:38,960 --> 00:15:44,400 game player by definition and that's not to mention in the Champions League final in 2013 with Real 170 00:15:44,400 --> 00:15:50,320 against Atlético after in additional time he's skipping past players hitting the post like and 171 00:15:50,320 --> 00:15:55,440 he got man of the match in that in that final as well and he got an assist such a smart player 172 00:15:55,440 --> 00:16:02,080 man yeah real joy to watch Paredes was coming on for Argentina late on in games kind of to add some 173 00:16:02,080 --> 00:16:06,960 solidity to the midfield and kind of make the their game a bit more defensive he was a bit hit 174 00:16:06,960 --> 00:16:11,840 or miss like he gave away that free kick that Holland equalized from for example he caused that 175 00:16:11,840 --> 00:16:16,880 stir on the touchline with Holland as well that riled them up to get back into the game and he 176 00:16:16,880 --> 00:16:22,560 had a good World Cup he had solid performances he scored his penalty which is like for people who 177 00:16:22,560 --> 00:16:29,040 people were making claim about the bala and I saw some lots of fans saying that are the bala 178 00:16:29,040 --> 00:16:35,840 celebrating the trophy he did nothing the guy stepped up in a World Cup final his only task was 179 00:16:35,840 --> 00:16:40,400 scored his penalty and he scored that penalty sent it down the middle sent the keeper the right way 180 00:16:40,400 --> 00:16:46,400 do it the whole world is watching that's exactly it's not easy at all that was his destiny for the 181 00:16:46,400 --> 00:16:53,280 final he did that former players or papu gomez with the money machine the money machine that video 182 00:16:53,280 --> 00:16:58,960 is we just posted on our tiktok um on the bus you know the argentina players celebrating the 183 00:16:58,960 --> 00:17:03,440 World Cup victory of course there's a Martinez the goalkeeper holding a baby with him but his face on 184 00:17:03,440 --> 00:17:09,440 it and in the meantime there's there's papu gomez which was he's wearing like an open shirt and he's 185 00:17:09,440 --> 00:17:13,440 flashy sunglasses he looks like connor McGregor bro it looks like he's just wearing Gucci i don't 186 00:17:13,440 --> 00:17:17,600 know what the brand was but he looks like he's wearing Gucci he grabs a wad of cash and he just 187 00:17:17,600 --> 00:17:24,160 throws it into the crowd on below how good man yeah how good there was Molina as well and we all 188 00:17:24,160 --> 00:17:30,640 remember him from his Odinez days he was fantastic at Odinez he had a fantastic tournament one of the 189 00:17:30,640 --> 00:17:36,400 best right backs in the competition you see that his his work rate his the way he contributes to 190 00:17:36,400 --> 00:17:40,480 going forward that's the way he contributes defensively as well he's a very all-around 191 00:17:40,480 --> 00:17:45,200 right wing back and i think argentina have a slot over there and he has to take it man 192 00:17:45,200 --> 00:17:49,920 yeah i mean we saw what he could do back in his Odinez days and it's nice to see that he's carried 193 00:17:49,920 --> 00:17:54,480 it on onto the biggest stage in the world and he has a trophy to show for it his former teammate 194 00:17:54,480 --> 00:17:58,800 Rodrigo de Paul was also there and had a fantastic tournament he's been nicknamed 195 00:17:58,800 --> 00:18:03,760 Messi's bodyguard and to be honest he seems to have embraced the role wholeheartedly he's always by 196 00:18:03,760 --> 00:18:07,760 his side he always seems to be pushing anyone who gets too close to Messi apart from salt bay of 197 00:18:07,760 --> 00:18:15,360 course yeah exactly de paul even though Messi is the guy that they respect in the team he's the 198 00:18:15,360 --> 00:18:19,760 captain he's the guy everyone looks up to de paul still strikes me as a bit of a father figure 199 00:18:19,760 --> 00:18:24,640 to this team it seems like if anyone steps on someone's toes he's going to be the first one 200 00:18:24,640 --> 00:18:30,160 in the middle of that scuffle he's a real leader man he knows his place that's the beauty of it 201 00:18:30,160 --> 00:18:35,600 he's not trying to be flashy like for example with Odinez they very much played around him and he was 202 00:18:35,600 --> 00:18:40,560 the guy and then he would pull the shit off but he understands his duties there's no need to go over 203 00:18:40,560 --> 00:18:47,600 the top he was fucking solid in that midfield man very solid there was a little German Petzla 204 00:18:47,600 --> 00:18:53,440 currently at Real Betis the former Fiorentina man you know he would come on and defend exactly 205 00:18:54,720 --> 00:19:01,520 thank you very well done Petzla but yeah that's that's Argentina's list obviously for France there 206 00:19:01,520 --> 00:19:08,000 was a Giroud, Rabiot on the starting 11, Manon didn't make it because of injury safe to say man 207 00:19:08,000 --> 00:19:14,560 Manon would have started Hugo Lloris he had a good world cup and he's quite a decorated goalkeeper 208 00:19:14,560 --> 00:19:19,680 I believe he has the most caps for the French national team that could be I think there are 209 00:19:19,680 --> 00:19:24,160 way better goalkeepers out there doesn't mean he didn't have a good competition but I think 210 00:19:24,160 --> 00:19:28,320 sometimes his decision making when he has the ball at his feet and when the ball is a little bit in 211 00:19:28,320 --> 00:19:33,680 no man's land he struggles when it comes to committing to one decision and oftentimes you see 212 00:19:33,680 --> 00:19:40,000 that his decision isn't made with full precision and full enthusiasm because he's caught between 213 00:19:40,000 --> 00:19:45,440 two minds and that probably comes as a result of playing with a team like Tottenham Hotspur one day 214 00:19:45,440 --> 00:19:49,680 are one of the best teams in England another day one of the worst teams in England so his form is 215 00:19:49,680 --> 00:19:53,760 kind of up and down and up and down up and down but I would have loved seeing Manon over there man 216 00:19:53,760 --> 00:19:57,200 I think there would have been an even stronger team and having Giroud up top for him to ping those 217 00:19:57,200 --> 00:20:02,240 balls like they do with Milan and then lay it down to Teo Armbapa on the wing it would have been nice 218 00:20:02,240 --> 00:20:06,000 it would have been nice and don't worry we'll be seeing plenty of Manon in the future as long as 219 00:20:06,000 --> 00:20:12,080 he can stay healthy quite possibly the most injury prone goalkeeper I can remember and only since 220 00:20:12,080 --> 00:20:16,960 joining Milan by the way his history is quite clean before that classic Milanello training ground 221 00:20:16,960 --> 00:20:23,520 probably literally I also want to highlight bro that that goalkeeper of Argentina what they call 222 00:20:23,520 --> 00:20:30,240 Debu Martinez what the fuck they call him Debu Martinez his name is Emiliano yeah Debu Martinez 223 00:20:31,440 --> 00:20:39,120 for you in your opinion his antics were they disgraceful or was it just you know a guy playing 224 00:20:39,120 --> 00:20:44,960 his role playing to his strengths no I don't think they're offensive it's a guy playing to 225 00:20:44,960 --> 00:20:50,400 his strengths it's part of any sport is mind games as long as you're facing an individual they do it 226 00:20:50,400 --> 00:20:56,320 in chess as well they do it in poker as well they do it in all these games it's shit talk yes he 227 00:20:57,280 --> 00:21:03,440 at least from what I've heard and what I've seen it was never uncalled for shithousery to the point 228 00:21:03,440 --> 00:21:08,480 that he was talking about their their moms their dads their family we have no idea what he's 229 00:21:08,480 --> 00:21:15,280 whispering yeah I have no idea but but from from what I've seen it was harmless shithousery as a 230 00:21:15,280 --> 00:21:20,560 goalkeeper you constantly have people say that the guy taking the penalty has the upper hand 231 00:21:20,560 --> 00:21:24,560 because it's easier to score a penalty than to save a penalty that that's what is said 232 00:21:24,560 --> 00:21:30,960 however the lack of pressure on a goalkeeper plays into the favor of the goalkeeper a lot and part of 233 00:21:30,960 --> 00:21:37,200 his job is just making the lives of the penalty kick taker as hard as possible man and that's 234 00:21:37,200 --> 00:21:42,400 exactly what he was doing and they won because of that look I love to see it quite frankly as well 235 00:21:42,400 --> 00:21:47,760 um you have in every story and then you put on put on your tv right now flick on a film you'll 236 00:21:47,760 --> 00:21:51,520 have a hero and you'll have a villain right exactly you have good guys you have bad guys 237 00:21:51,520 --> 00:21:58,080 there's the story of when parto joined milan he walked into the the dressing room and he found 238 00:21:58,080 --> 00:22:03,840 ronaldo there like you know fucking seven kilos overweight sat there probably a beer in one hand 239 00:22:03,840 --> 00:22:12,800 the rothman's red in the other his locker open you know and he um he pointed at kaka and he said 240 00:22:12,800 --> 00:22:18,480 there you have two options over here young one he said you can either go join him you know and 241 00:22:18,480 --> 00:22:22,800 kaka's there with his glasses you know probably holding a bible definitely and then he points he 242 00:22:22,800 --> 00:22:27,600 points at his locker he's like or you can join me and there's a picture of a naked woman on his 243 00:22:27,600 --> 00:22:33,040 locker and it's true those are the characters you have in the game right and it would be boring if 244 00:22:33,040 --> 00:22:38,400 everyone was an npc if everyone was boring you know if everyone was standard professional you 245 00:22:38,400 --> 00:22:46,000 know i i love that this guy chats shit i love that this guy wins he he has the most prestigious 246 00:22:46,000 --> 00:22:52,080 moment in his entire life this guy he's been given the golden glove right yeah hand handed to him he 247 00:22:52,080 --> 00:22:56,800 might never win anything more prestigious than this in his fucking life what does he do he puts 248 00:22:56,800 --> 00:23:03,680 it down to his crotch and aims it at the french players honestly how can you not love that i can't 249 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:09,280 get enough of it personally you have to man you have to love i think football needs more villains 250 00:23:09,280 --> 00:23:16,000 so far as there isn't the side of discrimination and offending people then i'm happy with that 251 00:23:16,000 --> 00:23:21,440 with that level of of shit housing that emiliano brought to the table and i would love to see him 252 00:23:21,440 --> 00:23:27,920 in seria man and guess what it's possible his agent gustavo donnie told to tomercato web that 253 00:23:27,920 --> 00:23:35,600 there are a few clubs who could afford a goalkeeper like him and he said seria why not personally 254 00:23:35,600 --> 00:23:40,480 because he also said he wants to play in the champions league right yes i don't see any team 255 00:23:40,480 --> 00:23:45,760 in the top four in italy that do need a goalkeeper desperately like for example inter have just signed 256 00:23:45,760 --> 00:23:54,160 on ana right milan have money on well most sometimes you have schezny who's still a top 257 00:23:54,160 --> 00:24:02,000 goalkeeper maybe napoli man napoli have meret who's developing quite nicely but i don't know if they 258 00:24:02,000 --> 00:24:06,640 have a chance to get maybe martinez for a good on a good deal it might be good but i can't see 259 00:24:06,640 --> 00:24:12,080 the lorrent is spending a substantial fee on a goalkeeper now they were rumored to be in for 260 00:24:12,080 --> 00:24:17,680 keiler navas a couple of times and i don't think that's dead yet yeah i think they're still 261 00:24:17,680 --> 00:24:23,200 exploring it however if within the same wage bracket and i don't think there'll be much of a 262 00:24:23,200 --> 00:24:27,120 discrepancy over there they could go for emiliano martinez who's getting all right premier league 263 00:24:27,120 --> 00:24:33,920 wages but that's the villa wages so they could coop something nice i think man when you he's a 264 00:24:33,920 --> 00:24:38,640 world cup winner now yeah they can easily slap a ridiculous fee on him that's and the premier league 265 00:24:38,640 --> 00:24:43,440 team is more likely to play through than an italian team but we'll see we'll see about that it's 266 00:24:43,440 --> 00:24:48,720 interesting man it's very interesting i think he slots in very well at napoli i think inter as 267 00:24:48,720 --> 00:24:53,200 well i think onana is a good goalkeeper i think it ends there i don't think he's a spectacular 268 00:24:53,200 --> 00:24:59,680 keeper by all by all means we now have this celebrity keeper in the game he's at the moment 269 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:05,280 the biggest goalkeeper in the world so definitely someone will try snap him up he's just taking that 270 00:25:05,280 --> 00:25:11,600 trophy off of donna room after the euros i think yeah yeah man that's that's crazy um who was 271 00:25:12,480 --> 00:25:19,520 the best say a player in the tournament for you my brother for me it was amrabat without without a 272 00:25:19,520 --> 00:25:26,800 doubt i think taking into consideration the level of the team and where he took them now obviously 273 00:25:26,800 --> 00:25:32,240 wasn't only him he was surrounded by players that that played very close to his level but he was 274 00:25:32,240 --> 00:25:37,920 the heartbeat of that team he had 120 minutes in him every game he didn't stop it's like watching 275 00:25:37,920 --> 00:25:42,880 him at ferrentina man definitely amrabat for me unfortunately for our listeners i agree with you 276 00:25:44,400 --> 00:25:50,160 amrabat for me had an incredible world cup it was what we expected to see from him and more quite 277 00:25:50,160 --> 00:25:55,520 frankly and he has been this player since his verona days he had a bit of a rough start at 278 00:25:55,520 --> 00:26:00,880 ferrentina but he settled in nicely and has been this dominant player all season pinging the ball 279 00:26:00,880 --> 00:26:06,480 from midfield running it down tackling breaking down play keeping play moving he is tireless he's 280 00:26:06,480 --> 00:26:12,160 a rabid dog he's an animal and i'm so happy that the world got to see it i'm so happy that ferrentina 281 00:26:12,160 --> 00:26:18,000 will be you know making money from him but it'll be sad to see him leave the league that's it because 282 00:26:18,000 --> 00:26:23,840 he will leave the league i so see him going to like a liverpool or a united or something like 283 00:26:23,840 --> 00:26:29,120 that would suit him perfectly yeah but they're also really looking at jude bellingham and he's 284 00:26:29,120 --> 00:26:33,920 quite expensive and his wages are going to be very high so reshuffling their midfield like that 285 00:26:33,920 --> 00:26:39,600 achbatendo's glue way yeah um we'll see we'll see what happens with him some honorable mentions 286 00:26:39,600 --> 00:26:45,120 obviously géroux he scored four goals in six matches and he's now france's leading all-time 287 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:53,120 top scorer ever in history that's géroux for you there was teo hernandez who got i believe uh was 288 00:26:53,120 --> 00:26:59,440 it a goal and two goals and two assists in in four or five games because before his brother 289 00:26:59,440 --> 00:27:05,600 was starting lucas hernandez on the wing and i'm sorry on the left wing back roll he was super 290 00:27:05,600 --> 00:27:12,400 he was super i think he gave away a few penalties he was a bit clumsy um that's that push that that 291 00:27:12,400 --> 00:27:17,120 thankfully kane sky the penalty kane actually saved his career i mean i mean that was an 292 00:27:17,120 --> 00:27:23,360 interesting point you made at first i was like how ridiculous matthew is like saying you score 293 00:27:23,360 --> 00:27:29,680 that is because value would plummet now in technically no right because a club knows the 294 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:35,680 value of a player not simply because of an isolated moment but but but but negative media 295 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:40,160 might have an effect on the player's confidence and it might actually have an effect on the long 296 00:27:40,160 --> 00:27:43,680 run so yes you had the point thank you thank you very much so fuck you teo 297 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:49,920 no teo hernandez was brilliant i still think that he's a bay here not yes yes i know the 298 00:27:49,920 --> 00:27:55,520 previous guest by the way for those wondering why did he just say fuck you all yeah um to me 299 00:27:55,520 --> 00:28:03,920 teo hernandez having imbappe ahead of him um made him be a bit more not only being imbappe because 300 00:28:03,920 --> 00:28:08,480 even having a guy like leao in front of you you think that would make you a bit more defensive but 301 00:28:08,480 --> 00:28:14,960 leao cuts in holds the ball and teo does the overlap i don't think that france prepared 302 00:28:14,960 --> 00:28:20,160 for having teo as a left back so they weren't playing fully to teo's strength sometimes imbappe 303 00:28:20,880 --> 00:28:25,120 running into the middle of the box allowing space down the flank for teo who could then ping in a 304 00:28:25,120 --> 00:28:30,960 cross for him would have been a nice kind of trick to have up their sleeves but they didn't 305 00:28:30,960 --> 00:28:36,320 incorporate him fully yet probably this this world cup paid as a lesson for that but uh he still had 306 00:28:36,320 --> 00:28:41,840 a very good world cup and remember that teo is quite quite young so what is he 24 years old i 307 00:28:41,840 --> 00:28:47,600 think he's literally my age 24 which is very young you know granted his strength his main strength 308 00:28:47,600 --> 00:28:52,880 is his um his speed which might decrease with years but he has plenty of time and 25 years old 309 00:28:52,880 --> 00:28:57,760 yeah he's got five years of playing at this level for sure he's gonna improve easily easily at 33 310 00:28:57,760 --> 00:29:02,480 with the with the shape that this guy is in and his attitude his mentality as well and you can 311 00:29:02,480 --> 00:29:06,880 tell that he'll kind of evolve into one of those streetwise players it's already happening you know 312 00:29:06,880 --> 00:29:13,520 he wins fouls man he he even the way he like shrugs off players as the ball's rolling out 313 00:29:13,520 --> 00:29:18,800 you know he's a very smart player yeah and being in this area for as many years as he has been now 314 00:29:18,800 --> 00:29:23,520 and hopefully for more his tactical awareness is only going to get better and better we're talking 315 00:29:23,520 --> 00:29:28,560 about him being very disciplined when it comes to offside traps his positioning um covering for his 316 00:29:28,560 --> 00:29:34,640 teammates tackling has improved his tackling is incredible his tackling is incredible um shesney 317 00:29:34,640 --> 00:29:39,680 shesney had a super world cup there's only so much he could have done for poland he's he saved 318 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:45,600 the messi's penalty um he saved two penalties actually um but there's only so much he could do 319 00:29:45,600 --> 00:29:50,160 man there's only so much you can do when when you have camel glick playing in front of you you know 320 00:29:50,160 --> 00:29:56,160 just exhausted playing in sail for benevento this guy you know um no no but shesney had a fantastic 321 00:29:56,160 --> 00:30:03,520 um tournament he is a great shithauser as well quite frankly he's basically like the 322 00:30:04,080 --> 00:30:10,480 the diluted version of emiliano martinez yeah a bit of a budget emiliano martinez but yeah he was 323 00:30:10,480 --> 00:30:15,440 also very great and that's not only from from the penalty spot he's a great all-around goalkeeper 324 00:30:15,440 --> 00:30:21,120 he's in fine form at the moment brosovic had a good world cup as well for croatia underrated 325 00:30:21,120 --> 00:30:25,040 obviously he's always under the radar he's just linking up play between the defense and the 326 00:30:25,040 --> 00:30:29,360 midfield he did a fantastic job at that in the beginning of the world cup there was a beautiful 327 00:30:29,360 --> 00:30:35,040 nil nil draw everyone called it boring a beautiful to me nil nil draw between morocco and croatia 328 00:30:35,040 --> 00:30:41,360 it was just amrabat versus brosovic two registers and i was just loving it everyone's like this is 329 00:30:41,360 --> 00:30:46,800 so boring i'm like but look at the registers look at the individual battle is the one we want man 330 00:30:46,800 --> 00:30:53,120 that's crazy fun it was beautiful speaking of a guy speaking of world the world cup on the topic 331 00:30:53,120 --> 00:30:58,000 of the world cup and legends of the world cup and good performer someone who performs brilliantly 332 00:30:58,000 --> 00:31:03,360 every world cup but we only get to see him once every four years is ochoa right yes mexico's 333 00:31:03,360 --> 00:31:09,280 legendary goalkeeper who disappears i don't even know who he plays with he played in spain for like 334 00:31:09,280 --> 00:31:17,280 malaga i know um not too much more than that man okay um yeah he he would just destroy every world 335 00:31:17,280 --> 00:31:21,760 cup right he means pull amazing saves left right and center he's brilliant like a god yeah the world 336 00:31:21,760 --> 00:31:29,680 cup he is off to salernitana yes he's having his medical today um that is fantastic news it must 337 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:34,080 be good for serp as well you know fuck it because typically when you bring in a goalkeeper it's 338 00:31:34,080 --> 00:31:39,520 awful news for for the starting goalkeeper right but sepe is young enough to for this to be good 339 00:31:39,520 --> 00:31:44,240 for exactly and serp is injured which is using they brought him in and you bring in a goalkeeper 340 00:31:44,240 --> 00:31:51,600 that's 37 or 38 years old something like that and it can't go wrong yeah because it's the same thing 341 00:31:51,600 --> 00:31:56,800 assigning zlatan so either they're gonna keep it up they're gonna roll the years back and they're 342 00:31:56,800 --> 00:32:02,720 gonna be phenomenal and they're gonna stay in that starting and in that starting role 343 00:32:03,280 --> 00:32:08,960 or else they become a coach they become a motivator someone to learn from example now does ochoa 344 00:32:10,240 --> 00:32:16,720 have what it takes to become a mentor because his skill is very um he's a fantastic shot stopper 345 00:32:16,720 --> 00:32:21,040 his instinct is incredible and that's sometimes something you can't see but he can yes but he can 346 00:32:21,040 --> 00:32:27,200 teach how to calm yourself on the world stage and how to be the best you can be in front of so many 347 00:32:27,200 --> 00:32:30,880 fans and when shit's not going your way so on so forth but it's going to be interesting to see how 348 00:32:30,880 --> 00:32:37,360 it affects serp and if he'll stay as the number one choice man morgan the sandries the sporting 349 00:32:37,360 --> 00:32:42,880 director of salientana pulling the strings yet again right i love that they can bring in these 350 00:32:42,880 --> 00:32:48,400 players they have some decent power and and they got him his salary was around four million a year 351 00:32:48,400 --> 00:32:53,280 and they brought him down and to salientana it's it's still undisclosed we don't know how much he's 352 00:32:53,280 --> 00:32:58,400 earning but the top earner at salientana makes just a bit more than one million a year so it's 353 00:32:58,400 --> 00:33:04,320 like 1.2 1.3 so he's probably somewhere in that region no i would guess probably massive pay cut 354 00:33:04,320 --> 00:33:08,640 possibly yes massive pay cut but he's playing at the top level right and he's a starter in 355 00:33:08,640 --> 00:33:14,400 seria for a team that's mid table exactly he should have gone in my opinion to monza 356 00:33:14,400 --> 00:33:20,080 oh because i know they have cronio i know that the gregoire but you know they also have 357 00:33:21,120 --> 00:33:28,880 a bus of prostitutes yes sir heading to their locker room every time they win a game no no it's 358 00:33:28,880 --> 00:33:33,440 if they beat a top like milan or juventus berlusconi promise them there's a video of this 359 00:33:33,440 --> 00:33:40,800 online it's it's almost like a parody like like a farce you know like i can't believe that this man 360 00:33:40,800 --> 00:33:45,200 first of all was the the president and prime minister of italy whatever the fuck he was 361 00:33:45,760 --> 00:33:51,600 um of milan milan yes and now he's just here he has a room full of people in front of a room 362 00:33:51,600 --> 00:33:55,920 full of millionaires in front of an executives and journalists and cameras he comes up and he 363 00:33:55,920 --> 00:34:01,760 says something as ridiculous as if you guys give us a beautiful victory against milan or juventus 364 00:34:01,760 --> 00:34:06,560 you have a bus full of prostitutes waiting for and it's not like he said pull man detroit 365 00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:13,680 oh bro he said just like um like in english we're using we're using the word prostitutes 366 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:19,040 which is technically they're sex workers it's what we're saying is politically incorrect and 367 00:34:19,040 --> 00:34:25,200 i apologize on whatever but he said it he said it in the worst possible way he would have said 368 00:34:25,200 --> 00:34:30,960 you know the word that we're not saying right now the incredibly fucking demeaning one that's the 369 00:34:30,960 --> 00:34:37,920 word well done don't think listeners got the hint at all but yes naturally berlusconi is going 370 00:34:37,920 --> 00:34:43,120 through it at the moment but it's nothing he's not used to he probably this is the tiniest of things 371 00:34:43,120 --> 00:34:52,080 for him no um i mean yes he's he said way worse like this is this is nothing he's done much much 372 00:34:52,080 --> 00:34:58,480 much worse but yeah that's berlusconi for you i'm what a character yeah but i'm glad that show was 373 00:34:58,480 --> 00:35:04,000 off to salernitana not monza monza have an entire roster of goalkeepers that they're utilizing 374 00:35:04,000 --> 00:35:08,800 anyway crown is probably out because of course they keep playing the gregorio and um cronius 375 00:35:08,800 --> 00:35:13,680 career is kind of stalling right now exactly probably 27 or 28 years old he needs to be 376 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:20,240 fucking playing football man the technology that was used at the world cup of 2022 is going to be 377 00:35:20,240 --> 00:35:27,680 adopted by the italian football league this is the offside technology um with the dedicated 378 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:32,560 broadcast cameras around the stadium to give the exact position of the players on the pitch to the 379 00:35:32,560 --> 00:35:38,400 referee and offering you know information within seconds basically what what do you think of this 380 00:35:38,960 --> 00:35:44,640 i think it's great that they're implementing this in this area because um of course we saw a few 381 00:35:44,640 --> 00:35:52,160 we've had a few situations where where teams were done very unjustly for example eventos with the 382 00:35:52,160 --> 00:35:57,840 candreva offside situation against salernitana where candreva was stood by the corner flag keeping 383 00:35:57,840 --> 00:36:03,440 everyone on side and somehow the var team didn't pick that up so it's great that this is going to 384 00:36:03,440 --> 00:36:07,760 be implemented why not i'm all for technology when it comes to offsides because this is something that 385 00:36:07,760 --> 00:36:12,240 is objective it's not subjective you know the referee's opinion does not matter in an offside 386 00:36:12,240 --> 00:36:18,960 call it's black and white so it's good that they've implemented this it is going to add to the amount 387 00:36:18,960 --> 00:36:25,600 of harsh calls but at least those harsh calls we're talking fragments and and millimeters at 388 00:36:25,600 --> 00:36:30,320 least is going to be consistently the same decision no matter how harsh it is it's going to be called 389 00:36:30,320 --> 00:36:35,680 the arms don't count the shoulder doesn't count this and that but at least we're going to be seeing 390 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:43,520 that um consistency there's also talks about the added time system the additional time system where 391 00:36:43,520 --> 00:36:48,080 basically it was the stop clock that was being used throughout the game every time there is you 392 00:36:48,080 --> 00:36:55,040 know um a throw in every time there is a scuffle every time there's a sand that time is effectively 393 00:36:55,040 --> 00:37:01,040 added on and the exact amount of seconds is added on to that additional time and that makes us see 394 00:37:01,040 --> 00:37:08,160 more football basically and we see each half is 45 minutes of the ball in play and that's what 395 00:37:08,160 --> 00:37:14,160 football should be currently i believe i remember reading the the documents on the website and there 396 00:37:14,160 --> 00:37:21,440 are about like 42 minutes of play exactly 30 sometimes 30 something 38 minutes of play in an 397 00:37:21,440 --> 00:37:27,200 entire football game and then say yeah um there are a lot of stoppages so that could be interesting 398 00:37:27,200 --> 00:37:34,000 it could also end up being a bit frustrating huh so many long games you know like imagine you have 399 00:37:34,000 --> 00:37:37,120 you have to play on wednesday and then you have to play on saturday you know and then the whole 400 00:37:37,120 --> 00:37:44,720 area playing that amount of time the whole the whole thing that they're doing to make football um 401 00:37:44,720 --> 00:37:50,080 you know more exciting for fans is they they keep on adding to the length of the game and they keep 402 00:37:50,080 --> 00:37:55,200 on adding to fixtures that the players need to play so as much as it's glamorous to be a footballer 403 00:37:55,200 --> 00:37:59,520 and they're earning so much money and doing so and they're doing what they love you have to feel 404 00:37:59,520 --> 00:38:03,360 for the amount of pressure that's been added to them the amount of games that they're playing 405 00:38:03,360 --> 00:38:08,160 just had a break premier league players are playing in four days time yeah players like 406 00:38:08,160 --> 00:38:12,240 mccallister who just won the world cup like he's been fucking drunk for three days you know what 407 00:38:12,240 --> 00:38:17,200 i mean i need to go back to brighton and play a number of fixtures in a row man and the players 408 00:38:17,200 --> 00:38:23,040 that play champions league football as well that's it's crazy we saw pedri of barcelona play for like 409 00:38:23,040 --> 00:38:28,000 three years non-stop now week in week out he looked he looked 50 by the end but he's had a nice break 410 00:38:28,000 --> 00:38:35,840 no thanks to morocco yeah uh should we delve into a little bit you know about uva's situation 411 00:38:35,840 --> 00:38:42,320 because it seems like everyone's forgetting about it and today or yesterday chiellini was 412 00:38:42,320 --> 00:38:47,840 was questioned and he gave away a myriad of information basically was the middleman 413 00:38:47,840 --> 00:38:54,000 between anjeli and the board of directors and the players yeah so he was the messenger he was 414 00:38:54,000 --> 00:38:59,280 telling them look guys you're gonna be paid this amount we're gonna this is gonna say four months 415 00:38:59,280 --> 00:39:05,200 but it's not gonna be four months gonna be one maybe two and apparently there were solo negotiations 416 00:39:05,200 --> 00:39:10,160 between certain players and the management so if it was ronaldo and if it was chesney that'd be two 417 00:39:10,160 --> 00:39:16,560 different sets of negotiations of the same pie for everyone basically but it's interesting man it's 418 00:39:16,560 --> 00:39:21,920 escalating it seems like with the involvement chiellini had he's gonna be in a world of trouble 419 00:39:21,920 --> 00:39:27,280 as well and it seems like man it doesn't look good for the players it doesn't look good for the club 420 00:39:27,280 --> 00:39:35,040 do you think that they get fucking relegated man um no i don't think they get relegated i don't 421 00:39:35,040 --> 00:39:39,360 think they'll get relegated at all i think that the players will be fined i think the management 422 00:39:39,360 --> 00:39:45,440 has already left they will be charged criminally maybe fined maybe i don't know what else they can 423 00:39:45,440 --> 00:39:52,000 do maybe arrested you know um but i don't think there will be maybe a points deduction at most 424 00:39:52,000 --> 00:39:57,280 that's the worst case scenario i don't think they'll relegate it though um chiellini was was 425 00:39:57,280 --> 00:40:04,160 questioned as you said by the i was speaking to the tureen public prosecutor's office right um at 426 00:40:04,160 --> 00:40:09,040 first he was quite standoffish he was he took a bit of a you know he's playing it safe i don't know 427 00:40:09,040 --> 00:40:14,240 i don't remember i don't recall right now and they were like you know you need to be honest i'm 428 00:40:14,240 --> 00:40:19,680 georgio um you're on the road this is very serious right now and it started you know he started 429 00:40:19,680 --> 00:40:24,320 escalating a little bit more he's like you know and when the pandemic broke out it was a bit of 430 00:40:24,320 --> 00:40:30,640 a difficult situation economically i was asked to go between the rest of the group and meet the 431 00:40:30,640 --> 00:40:37,600 extraordinary moment that had been created that's how he worded it um then he said in march i started 432 00:40:37,600 --> 00:40:41,120 talking to my teammates to understand their willingness to meet the problems that existed 433 00:40:41,120 --> 00:40:47,280 in the club solving problems above all because the liquid income was lacking and then basically 434 00:40:47,280 --> 00:40:52,400 he went on to admit yes that he was the you know that actually happened it was the middleman they 435 00:40:52,400 --> 00:40:56,800 they were still paid under the table tax free and that's fraud right so we'll see how this 436 00:40:56,800 --> 00:41:01,040 develops it's definitely interesting to keep an eye on and you mentioned that in the beginning 437 00:41:01,040 --> 00:41:05,440 he wasn't giving away too much um but what the guys he's dealing with he has no idea they're 438 00:41:05,440 --> 00:41:12,560 fucking professionals and they're like did you sign anything for this role you kind of took and 439 00:41:12,560 --> 00:41:17,760 he's like no it's like i don't remember signing anything and then they're like you're sure and 440 00:41:17,760 --> 00:41:24,160 he's like i might have signed something but i don't know where it is and they're like is it this georgia 441 00:41:26,720 --> 00:41:27,200 he's like 442 00:41:27,200 --> 00:41:35,840 fuck yeah yeah just to answer my own question i know remember answer my own question about 443 00:41:35,840 --> 00:41:41,200 relegation i think there's a world where it happens i think there there is um i think it's being 444 00:41:41,200 --> 00:41:47,120 considered i think it's on the table bear in mind the point deduction in 06 took them to relegation 445 00:41:47,120 --> 00:41:53,360 last time and if it's not that it would be serious financial interventions that would lead to them 446 00:41:53,360 --> 00:42:01,600 not being able to play to pay players like kiesa vlauwege dimaria pogba shesney bremer all these 447 00:42:01,600 --> 00:42:06,080 fucking tanks in their team they're not going to afford them if there's certain financial 448 00:42:06,080 --> 00:42:11,600 interventions and this could be a decline for yet another four or five years for uve 449 00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:20,960 let's see man um they have had i think the worst year for for any club in the league any club in 450 00:42:20,960 --> 00:42:25,520 europe probably i don't think there have been teams that have had a worse year than even this 451 00:42:25,520 --> 00:42:30,080 when it comes to these this kind of situation and they had just picked it up before the world cup 452 00:42:30,080 --> 00:42:36,240 break they were one of the only teams that that this world cup and didn't favor the break didn't 453 00:42:36,240 --> 00:42:40,720 favor them because they were carrying such good momentum and it's interesting they carried out 454 00:42:40,720 --> 00:42:44,320 into the friendlies by the way bro they they played the friendly against arsenal who are top 455 00:42:44,320 --> 00:42:49,200 of the premier league right now they had one shot on target and won the game two nil and they had 456 00:42:49,200 --> 00:42:55,920 like 30 ball possession or something that's fucking hilarious it's classic this is the thing right an 457 00:42:55,920 --> 00:43:02,720 allegory genius or a terrorist who knows man we don't know here okay a genius terrorist let us 458 00:43:02,720 --> 00:43:08,800 know what you think exactly um there are obviously uvers where they had that whole situation with the 459 00:43:08,800 --> 00:43:14,640 overspending controversy that came months before this situation so what goes around comes around i 460 00:43:14,640 --> 00:43:20,880 guess they also have the top five most expensive transfers in seria history they spent 101 million 461 00:43:20,880 --> 00:43:27,120 on cristiano ronaldo they spent 77 million on gonzalo iguain they spent 73.9 million on 462 00:43:27,120 --> 00:43:34,960 matias delict they spent 70.5 million on dusan vlaović and 65 million on artur melo now 463 00:43:35,840 --> 00:43:39,840 what did they win with these players they won one scudetto with ronaldo they won a scudetto with 464 00:43:39,840 --> 00:43:45,360 iguaian signing was was phenomenal yes yes but other than that brother i mean okay vlaović just 465 00:43:45,360 --> 00:43:50,800 signed and he could do great things unless they there's a significant decrease arthur was a shit 466 00:43:50,800 --> 00:43:57,520 signing delict was a shit signing and ronaldo i mean sure they got shirt sales yeah but it was a 467 00:43:57,520 --> 00:44:03,840 bit of a flop because covid happened right yeah i mean exactly it became unsustainable they wouldn't 468 00:44:03,840 --> 00:44:08,400 be in this situation had they not signed it was a goal though for anilie on the board to sign to sign 469 00:44:08,400 --> 00:44:12,320 a player of that caliber they had said i believe three years prior to that they wanted to they have 470 00:44:12,320 --> 00:44:16,640 a project in mind and they want to sign a big player long term so it was like a bucket list 471 00:44:16,640 --> 00:44:22,480 thing almost yeah yeah they're interested in carsdorp now apparently but hyacs are beating 472 00:44:23,520 --> 00:44:29,280 to carsdorp yeah i mean you know i can i can see rick carsdorp at eventless to be honest 473 00:44:29,920 --> 00:44:36,240 i could i guess down that right i mean they're quite thin there they have quadrado but he's 474 00:44:36,240 --> 00:44:41,680 aging and he's getting worse and then they have the shilio you know i mean carsdorp might be a 475 00:44:41,680 --> 00:44:45,760 better fit and carsdorp on the right cost station on the left could be deadly that could be it could 476 00:44:45,760 --> 00:44:52,880 be um you were also linked to milan's massara the director malini's right-hand man but of course 477 00:44:52,880 --> 00:44:59,440 that probably is bogus news because if you're gonna hire someone a director you're gonna hire 478 00:44:59,440 --> 00:45:03,600 the the head you know the sporting director the main guy and then he'll pick his stuff right you 479 00:45:03,600 --> 00:45:07,840 know just pick an executive exactly throw in a director and then pick the head after it doesn't 480 00:45:07,840 --> 00:45:13,600 make any sense like but yeah there's this news you know slow news days there's the whole del pierro 481 00:45:13,600 --> 00:45:18,400 rumor as well we'll see what happens with that i haven't heard any updates since it's gone quite 482 00:45:18,400 --> 00:45:26,720 quiet but he could be a a contender bro by the way have you heard of francesco camarda you mean 483 00:45:26,720 --> 00:45:33,040 the guy i'm gonna be hopelessly in love with by the time i'm 30 hopefully yes i have heard of him 484 00:45:33,040 --> 00:45:42,320 he is the 14 year old milan youth team striker at youth level he scored 485 goals in 89 youth 485 00:45:42,320 --> 00:45:47,760 level matches that's crazy i've never done that on career mode like i've never done that i could 486 00:45:47,760 --> 00:45:53,040 play against children i wonder now this 14 year old boy has been promoted to the primavera where 487 00:45:53,040 --> 00:45:59,200 he's playing with essentially 18 year olds 19 year olds 20 year olds you know and on his debut 488 00:45:59,200 --> 00:46:04,880 he scored two goals that's crazy so this guy can't be serious i just hope that there isn't a lot of 489 00:46:04,880 --> 00:46:10,640 pressure on him from the media there's already his face on like instagram and facebook tiktok 490 00:46:10,640 --> 00:46:15,360 whatever must do our vibes literally like i hate when you get a fucking 14 year old kid and you're 491 00:46:15,360 --> 00:46:19,680 putting his face everywhere and piling all this pressure on him it's unnecessary let him develop 492 00:46:19,680 --> 00:46:24,880 in peace hopefully he keeps it up we have seen players with crazy records with the primavera 493 00:46:24,880 --> 00:46:30,320 cotrone had a crazy record with the milan primavera didn't quite live up to it or hasn't 494 00:46:30,320 --> 00:46:35,040 quite lived up to it there's still a bit of time for cotrone colombo had a mental record he was 495 00:46:35,040 --> 00:46:41,040 scoring every 30 minutes with the primavera he still looks great he he is developing nicely but 496 00:46:41,040 --> 00:46:45,920 he had less pressure he didn't have you know this guy you can tell it's sensationalist news right 497 00:46:46,960 --> 00:46:50,640 people are going to be talking about this yeah yeah and and what's what's interesting the thing 498 00:46:50,640 --> 00:46:56,560 that scares me the most about that is at the age he's at right now 14 years old no um playing for 499 00:46:56,560 --> 00:47:02,560 the under 19 so essentially playing a bunch of 20 21 year olds this is and i don't blame him for 500 00:47:02,560 --> 00:47:08,320 putting i don't blame them for putting him on that stage because these are his key years for 501 00:47:08,320 --> 00:47:16,720 development the 14 to 18 mark that that turns you from being a good player and being a professional 502 00:47:16,720 --> 00:47:22,400 footballer these are the ages where you make that happen essentially so he needs to up it to that 503 00:47:22,400 --> 00:47:27,600 level for the muscle memory for his instincts for his intelligence so on so forth he needs to be 504 00:47:27,600 --> 00:47:34,800 playing over there now this can go three ways the media can get to him and he can become hot-headed 505 00:47:34,800 --> 00:47:38,960 blah blah blah and he ruins his career because we know what the media is like his ego will inflate 506 00:47:38,960 --> 00:47:44,800 exactly on the other hand he could live up to it and he can become a hallowed of sorts or a 507 00:47:44,800 --> 00:47:51,280 lavovich of sorts for example um or else on on the other hand because he is playing at that level 508 00:47:52,240 --> 00:47:57,760 and he's still so young there could be significant injuries in the time that is most crucial for a 509 00:47:57,760 --> 00:48:05,120 player to play games and and to learn the game um like imagine he tears his acl now that is let's 510 00:48:05,120 --> 00:48:10,320 say he has one year out now it's way more crucial having a year out when you're 15 16 to when you're 511 00:48:10,320 --> 00:48:15,840 27 and you would have played for a while so we really need this guy to develop i pray that they 512 00:48:15,840 --> 00:48:20,560 look after him they give him a break when a break is necessary i hope that they don't depend on him 513 00:48:20,560 --> 00:48:25,360 so much and it seems difficult considering he's scoring so many goals and they played they played 514 00:48:25,360 --> 00:48:32,320 against an adult team by the way the primavera side of milan played against um sol biateze is 515 00:48:32,320 --> 00:48:36,480 a club that plays in extra lensa which is the fifth division of the italian football period 516 00:48:36,480 --> 00:48:40,400 now this is a theme of adults there were 30 year olds playing this game and he scored two goals 517 00:48:40,400 --> 00:48:46,640 that's a joke man what the fuck that's an absolute joke i hope uh-huh look milan have 518 00:48:46,640 --> 00:48:52,960 jurú right now but before that you know okay ebra gave milan a good six months a good year 519 00:48:52,960 --> 00:48:59,760 upon his return to milan but milan have struggled for a starting striker for a solid starting 520 00:48:59,760 --> 00:49:07,120 striker for a while before that there was the cotron age the bakka age the menes age so on so 521 00:49:07,120 --> 00:49:14,080 forth it would be good to kind of have someone come up through the ranks and even play at least 25 522 00:49:14,080 --> 00:49:18,800 at milan 26 at milan just have that guy that you can rely on week in week out someone that 523 00:49:19,840 --> 00:49:27,040 a tonali mentality up front would be delicious it would be i mean there was cotron you know with 524 00:49:27,040 --> 00:49:31,760 the with that kind of mentality but it proved to be a little bit lacking like it wasn't he's not 525 00:49:31,760 --> 00:49:35,760 the most modern striker in the world you know i thought piantec was that guy to be honest with 526 00:49:35,760 --> 00:49:41,920 you bro when piantec came in i'm like i was sorted for 10 years hey man he was turning cullibaly 527 00:49:41,920 --> 00:49:47,680 inside out scoring the pietas against napoli and in superb fashion but i had that that didn't last 528 00:49:47,680 --> 00:49:53,360 very long did it no he faded out and unfortunately milan didn't give him time um and you know he the 529 00:49:53,360 --> 00:49:56,480 curse of the nine of course he took the number nine he said he doesn't believe in the curse and 530 00:49:56,480 --> 00:50:04,160 he stopped scoring exactly he just made it more more obvious um those are yeah that's pretty much 531 00:50:04,160 --> 00:50:08,400 it guys we we're out of talking points we've covered everything that we wanted to cover this 532 00:50:08,400 --> 00:50:13,920 episode january the fourth can't come any sooner i can't wait for seria to continue i am tired 533 00:50:14,560 --> 00:50:19,360 i'm tired of international football now honestly it was a fantastic world cup but give me seria 534 00:50:19,360 --> 00:50:27,280 yeah i was very pleased with how the world cup turned out i always when international tournaments 535 00:50:27,280 --> 00:50:32,000 come about and this is probably from us seeing so many insignificant ones like the nation's legal 536 00:50:32,000 --> 00:50:36,480 of these international friendlies it almost took away from what the world cup is but now that came 537 00:50:36,480 --> 00:50:42,000 about it's a very joyous reminder of what the competition was but happy to move back into 538 00:50:42,000 --> 00:50:47,840 where we left off and man i'm almost green in in what has happened this this season because it 539 00:50:47,840 --> 00:50:54,320 feels like it's been so much time um our nopoly is still gonna be that good our milan gonna be 540 00:50:54,320 --> 00:50:59,920 worthy our inter gonna bounce back what's gonna happen with you man i have no idea the one thing 541 00:50:59,920 --> 00:51:05,120 i'm sure that's gonna happen is that say our spotlight slips is gonna be a disaster because 542 00:51:05,120 --> 00:51:11,280 we have no idea the form of these teams what we can pretty much guarantee is the players who had 543 00:51:11,280 --> 00:51:17,600 fewer guys at the world cup will surprise us for example the teams that had yeah sorry the teams 544 00:51:17,600 --> 00:51:23,280 yes that's time monza ampoli those guys sasual as well have been kind of there as well these guys 545 00:51:23,280 --> 00:51:28,160 have been training together this entire time like they're gonna be strong you know and then you 546 00:51:28,160 --> 00:51:33,600 have teams like uventus who had so many guys at the world cup to the end i'm going on holiday 547 00:51:33,600 --> 00:51:41,360 milan inter nopoly had their two best guys at home that ozzy man and gvarra probably 548 00:51:41,360 --> 00:51:48,960 uh playing together man it's true so we'll see um i i expect it to to be tight um at the top and 549 00:51:48,960 --> 00:51:54,880 at the bottom i expect helas verona to start picking up and maybe some bedoria too at this 550 00:51:54,880 --> 00:51:59,360 point but we'll we'll see how it goes of course it's too early to make predictions and i personally 551 00:51:59,360 --> 00:52:05,120 can't wait no i can't wait either man we'll return like we said on january 4th there's a midweek 552 00:52:05,120 --> 00:52:12,640 showdown um at 12 30 between salernitana and milan great we're gonna be at work kind of thing 553 00:52:12,640 --> 00:52:18,000 i can't believe
