1
00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:09,040
And Maria, the fake for Danilo, Danilo! Danilo! 3-3! Great scheme from Juventus!

2
00:00:09,040 --> 00:00:13,200
Danilo's right! At the back of Busso! We're even again!

3
00:00:16,160 --> 00:00:24,560
Hello and welcome to say a spotlight season 2 episode 22 where your host Jake and Matt sat here freezing our asses off.

4
00:00:24,560 --> 00:00:30,560
Yeah, I mean guys, if you think it's all glitz and glamour and heat and sunshine in Malta,

5
00:00:30,560 --> 00:00:38,880
every January it's fucking freezing. January or February we get those Mediterranean freezing ass winds and it's hell.

6
00:00:38,880 --> 00:00:43,280
But to be honest December was really hot, sunny and nice so I don't think we can complain.

7
00:00:43,280 --> 00:00:49,520
Yeah, it's not bad. The only problem is that our houses aren't built to cater for this type of weather.

8
00:00:49,520 --> 00:00:55,680
There's no insulation, you know, everything's made of limestone and you know it's fucking cold in here.

9
00:00:55,680 --> 00:01:03,200
I wish you guys could see Jake right now. He looks ridiculous. So he's got a blanket around him.

10
00:01:03,200 --> 00:01:10,720
He's got a hood over his head and a beanie over his hood. I've never seen anything like that before in my life.

11
00:01:10,720 --> 00:01:13,200
And you look fucking ridiculous, man.

12
00:01:13,200 --> 00:01:17,680
Thank you, bro. The last time I saw something similar to this outfit that I've put together

13
00:01:17,680 --> 00:01:24,960
was when I was watching the Super Coppa between Milan and Inter in Doha which ended 3-0 unfortunately to Inter.

14
00:01:24,960 --> 00:01:31,360
I thought the seats were empty but turns out everyone was just dressed home just right now with all in white.

15
00:01:31,360 --> 00:01:38,960
It is confusing. But what's even more confusing is the way the game turned out pretty much.

16
00:01:38,960 --> 00:01:41,360
Inter 3-0 Milan.

17
00:01:41,360 --> 00:01:46,880
Of course Milan travelled a very long distance to make that game but didn't actually show up.

18
00:01:46,880 --> 00:01:48,720
No, pretty much.

19
00:01:48,720 --> 00:01:54,960
I don't know what's going on with Milan. We'll discuss that in depth when it's time to discuss them.

20
00:01:54,960 --> 00:01:59,280
But for now it's time to address the, first of all, the goal of the week.

21
00:01:59,280 --> 00:01:59,600
Yeah.

22
00:01:59,600 --> 00:02:05,680
Which was the brilliant free-kick routine where Di Maria laid it off to Danilo who just smacked it in.

23
00:02:05,680 --> 00:02:11,200
Allegri was asked about that. He was like, what was with the old school free-kick routine over there?

24
00:02:11,200 --> 00:02:17,120
And he was like, football is so complicated nowadays. We have to do these strange things to get the advantage.

25
00:02:17,120 --> 00:02:20,160
The secret? Danilo can hit the ball really hard.

26
00:02:20,160 --> 00:02:22,320
It's a method we have, you know.

27
00:02:22,320 --> 00:02:27,920
Didn't Allegri a couple of months ago say that football is really simple,

28
00:02:27,920 --> 00:02:32,800
you need to put the ball into the back of the net or you need to pass to your teammates or something like that?

29
00:02:32,800 --> 00:02:39,120
He takes pride from being from Livorno and apparently people from Livorno are honest and they always speak honestly

30
00:02:39,120 --> 00:02:44,960
but they have a sense of humor. So humorous approach to certain things.

31
00:02:44,960 --> 00:02:46,800
They also have a very weird accent.

32
00:02:46,800 --> 00:02:54,160
Yeah, that's definitely the case. I barely understand Italian but like when he talks I don't understand anything.

33
00:02:54,160 --> 00:02:58,720
It's way harder. It's way harder when he talks. But yeah, that's our intro. That's our goal of the week.

34
00:02:58,720 --> 00:03:01,040
That's a super Coppa. So next up.

35
00:03:01,040 --> 00:03:02,240
The best.

36
00:03:02,240 --> 00:03:03,120
Our bet.

37
00:03:03,120 --> 00:03:06,880
Yes. And we won one guys. We ended our losing streak.

38
00:03:06,880 --> 00:03:12,880
We bet that Roma would win or draw against Spezia and they would be under three goals.

39
00:03:12,880 --> 00:03:16,000
Now, come to think of it. That was a pretty safe bet.

40
00:03:16,000 --> 00:03:20,000
An incredibly very, very, very safe bet but...

41
00:03:20,000 --> 00:03:21,600
Odds were one...

42
00:03:21,600 --> 00:03:27,200
197, I think. We were close to doubling our money. Just a few cents off.

43
00:03:27,200 --> 00:03:32,640
It was kind of scary because Roma got the second in like the 60th minute.

44
00:03:32,640 --> 00:03:37,040
So there's half an hour. We're just hoping against a Roma goal.

45
00:03:37,040 --> 00:03:40,480
And this time this Roma really looked inspired. They wanted to attack.

46
00:03:40,480 --> 00:03:44,080
They wanted to move the ball forward. Tammy obviously full of confidence.

47
00:03:44,080 --> 00:03:48,000
Di Valla full of confidence. So yeah, we were a bit scared but here we go guys.

48
00:03:48,000 --> 00:03:51,840
Hopefully this is the start of I don't know a plane ticket.

49
00:03:51,840 --> 00:03:53,200
And let's go man. Let's go.

50
00:03:54,240 --> 00:03:59,680

55
00:04:13,280 --> 00:04:17,440
Very good. I'm gonna do the weekly rundown this week bro.

56
00:04:17,440 --> 00:04:20,480
I'm gonna take it upon myself and attempt the challenge, okay?

57
00:04:20,480 --> 00:04:22,080
Okay. Okay. Let's go, bro.

58
00:04:23,120 --> 00:04:29,360
So Lazio spanked Milan 4-0. Juventus 3, Atalanta 3 in the game of the week.

59
00:04:29,360 --> 00:04:37,920
Salernitana rehired Nicola and lost 2-0 to Napoli. Inter were embarrassed by Empoli 1-0.

60
00:04:37,920 --> 00:04:42,080
Roma got the job done yet again against Spezia away from home 2-0.

61
00:04:42,080 --> 00:04:47,120
Sampdoria continued to play well and lose against Udinese this time 1-0.

62
00:04:47,120 --> 00:04:51,440
Fiorentina continued to disappoint as they lost to Torino 1-0.

63
00:04:51,440 --> 00:04:54,320
Bologna and Cremonaese shared the spoils at 1-1.

64
00:04:54,320 --> 00:04:56,960
Cremonaese almost getting their first victory over there.

65
00:04:56,960 --> 00:05:00,560
Monza and Sassuolo ended the hard 4th battle 1-1.

66
00:05:00,560 --> 00:05:04,640
And Verona beat Lecce at 2-0 to continue their escape from the relegation zone.

67
00:05:04,640 --> 00:05:05,760
Not bad, bro.

68
00:05:05,760 --> 00:05:06,320
Thanks, man.

69
00:05:06,320 --> 00:05:06,800
Not bad.

70
00:05:06,800 --> 00:05:08,800
Not as good as you do it, not as well as you do it, but...

71
00:05:09,840 --> 00:05:12,160
I'm just good at improv. That's all I've got, man.

72
00:05:12,160 --> 00:05:14,880
I'm not a smart guy. That's your only skill, man.

73
00:05:16,000 --> 00:05:17,280
I could just spit bars.

74
00:05:19,360 --> 00:05:20,240
That's pretty much it.

75
00:05:20,240 --> 00:05:23,440
The gift of the gab, the gift of the gab, baby.

76
00:05:23,440 --> 00:05:24,960
There's so much to uncover, bro.

77
00:05:24,960 --> 00:05:27,600
I mean, even just those first...

78
00:05:27,600 --> 00:05:28,960
The first four fixtures.

79
00:05:28,960 --> 00:05:32,560
So you look at Lazio Milan, which is obviously headlines in itself.

80
00:05:32,560 --> 00:05:34,960
Juve at Alanta, same.

81
00:05:34,960 --> 00:05:37,600
Six goals and they shared them.

82
00:05:38,640 --> 00:05:40,800
Salernitana-Napoli being up there,

83
00:05:40,800 --> 00:05:42,960
Bian Salernitana bringing back Nicola.

84
00:05:43,760 --> 00:05:44,800
Napoli 1-2-0.

85
00:05:44,800 --> 00:05:47,200
And then the Inter-0 Empoli 1.

86
00:05:47,760 --> 00:05:49,360
Just so much to uncover.

87
00:05:49,360 --> 00:05:52,560
We're just saying last week how things are starting to take shape.

88
00:05:52,560 --> 00:05:54,560
And now it's like, no.

89
00:05:54,560 --> 00:05:55,200
Yeah.

90
00:05:55,200 --> 00:05:56,960
Things aren't starting to take shape.

91
00:05:56,960 --> 00:05:58,000
Things are crumbling.

92
00:05:58,560 --> 00:06:00,480
Things are fucking crumbling.

93
00:06:00,480 --> 00:06:03,440
Some teams were second and now they're fighting for a top four.

94
00:06:03,440 --> 00:06:04,240
You know what I mean?

95
00:06:04,240 --> 00:06:09,040
Some teams, like Verona, are on a fucking hot streak now, man.

96
00:06:10,160 --> 00:06:10,960
And they really are.

97
00:06:10,960 --> 00:06:13,280
We predicted that when the World Cup ended.

98
00:06:13,280 --> 00:06:15,040
We did, bro. We predict a lot of things.

99
00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:16,160
Yes, we do.

100
00:06:16,160 --> 00:06:17,360
Except for our bets.

101
00:06:17,360 --> 00:06:18,400
That's the only thing we can't say.

102
00:06:20,480 --> 00:06:21,920
Our money where I'm out is we lose.

103
00:06:21,920 --> 00:06:23,920
Exactly.

104
00:06:23,920 --> 00:06:24,800
Exactly.

105
00:06:24,800 --> 00:06:27,760
Shall we kick things off and get the first game over and done with, brother?

106
00:06:27,760 --> 00:06:28,320
What do you think?

107
00:06:28,320 --> 00:06:29,360
Let's do it, bro.

108
00:06:29,360 --> 00:06:29,840
All right.

109
00:06:29,840 --> 00:06:34,960
So the first game we're going to be covering, guys, is Lazio 4-Milan-0.

110
00:06:34,960 --> 00:06:37,920
Although a lot of people would have predicted a Lazio victory over here,

111
00:06:37,920 --> 00:06:42,640
considering Milan's form, I think it's safe to say that this was quite a shocking

112
00:06:43,280 --> 00:06:46,240
result for goals to nil in favor of Lazio.

113
00:06:46,240 --> 00:06:49,520
So Lazio lined up in their 4-3-3 formation with Providel in goal

114
00:06:49,520 --> 00:06:53,200
and a back line of Meirisic, Ciazzale, Romagnoli and Hisaï,

115
00:06:53,200 --> 00:06:57,360
a midfield three of Alberto Cataldi and Milinkovic-Savage,

116
00:06:57,360 --> 00:07:02,000
Zaccani out on the left, Pedro out on the right, and Anderson up front.

117
00:07:02,000 --> 00:07:05,360
For Milan, it was a 4-2-3-1 formation with Tata in goal,

118
00:07:05,360 --> 00:07:08,240
a back line of Calabria, Calulo, Tomori and Dest,

119
00:07:08,240 --> 00:07:11,520
double pivot of Benassir and Tonali, out on the right was Messias,

120
00:07:11,520 --> 00:07:14,800
out on the left was Leão, behind the striker was Brahim Diaz,

121
00:07:14,800 --> 00:07:17,680
and up front was Olivier Giroud.

122
00:07:17,680 --> 00:07:20,960
So things started off very early in this game,

123
00:07:20,960 --> 00:07:24,640
it was in the fourth minute that Sergei Milinkovic-Savage opened the scoring,

124
00:07:24,640 --> 00:07:28,640
Zaccani played the ball into the box and both Louis Alberto and Philipp Anderson

125
00:07:28,640 --> 00:07:31,760
led the ball around to Sergei, who finished into the bottom corner,

126
00:07:31,760 --> 00:07:36,960
a spectacular move there by Lazio, Milan's press was on point but they just

127
00:07:36,960 --> 00:07:41,760
moved the ball around swiftly and brilliantly, and just that double melee by

128
00:07:42,640 --> 00:07:46,960
Alberto and Anderson was just gorgeous, and obviously who else but Sergei to finish

129
00:07:46,960 --> 00:07:49,200
things off when Immobile isn't around.

130
00:07:49,200 --> 00:07:53,360
In the 38th minute, Zaccani scored, the Italian finished into an empty net

131
00:07:53,360 --> 00:07:56,480
after Maricic struck the post and Tata was grounded,

132
00:07:57,120 --> 00:08:01,200
half-time came, Milan came out in the second half, looked a little bit better,

133
00:08:01,200 --> 00:08:04,480
made a triple sub, brought on the usual suspects,

134
00:08:04,480 --> 00:08:09,840
however in the 66th minute, a penalty was awarded to Lazio after Calulo brought

135
00:08:09,840 --> 00:08:15,200
down Pedro in the penalty area after some sloppy play by Milan at the back,

136
00:08:15,200 --> 00:08:19,120
eh, Louis Alberto stepped up to take the penalty and the Spaniard went down the

137
00:08:19,120 --> 00:08:24,080
middle with a powerful strike sending Tata the wrong way, 3-0 to Lazio.

138
00:08:24,080 --> 00:08:28,960
In the 75th minute, Philipp Anderson made it 4-0, the Brazilian finished

139
00:08:28,960 --> 00:08:33,440
cleanly after an intelligent and sneaky through ball by Louis Alberto,

140
00:08:33,440 --> 00:08:36,640
and then in the 81st minute, Jake turned to me and said,

141
00:08:36,640 --> 00:08:41,840
Bro, why the fuck are we still watching this? A question I have yet to answer.

142
00:08:41,840 --> 00:08:47,360
Obviously, Bro, very disappointing result for Milan, an incredible result for Lazio

143
00:08:47,360 --> 00:08:51,360
and all the Laziali out there, what did you make of this game overall?

144
00:08:52,320 --> 00:08:58,080
So Lazio clearly came out with a vendetta, right, a point to prove against Milan as they

145
00:08:58,080 --> 00:09:02,880
were winless in their last three head-to-heads against Milan. Milan came in with a point to

146
00:09:02,880 --> 00:09:07,120
prove as they had a winless run of four, they had recently been knocked out of the Coppa,

147
00:09:07,120 --> 00:09:11,280
they had lost Trinil to Inter in the Supercoppa and this was the time for a reaction.

148
00:09:11,280 --> 00:09:17,360
And Milan did not react well at all, they conceded the fourth minute, that's all it took,

149
00:09:17,360 --> 00:09:21,360
and the disaster continued from there. At halftime, Bro, I don't know if you remember,

150
00:09:21,360 --> 00:09:28,400
but I told you, I was quite optimistic, no? I told you that Lazio came out fielding their

151
00:09:28,400 --> 00:09:33,040
best players, like you look at Lazio starting 11, they had a mobile out, they played all their

152
00:09:33,040 --> 00:09:38,640
offensive outlets from the get-go, Savage, Alberto, Pedro, Anderson, Zaccani were all on the pitch,

153
00:09:38,640 --> 00:09:43,840
right? So offensively that leaves maybe what, Country Leary and 17-year-old Romero.

154
00:09:45,680 --> 00:09:51,040
So I told Matty, I'm like, Mat, Milan have depth, you know? Milan can grow into this game,

155
00:09:51,040 --> 00:09:57,440
all it takes is maybe a late goal in the second half, a late goal in the first half, sorry,

156
00:09:57,440 --> 00:10:01,600
2-1 and then there's all to play for, or an early goal in the second half and then Milan are back

157
00:10:01,600 --> 00:10:07,040
in it, can go for the drum, but actually even the victory. That did not happen in the slightest.

158
00:10:07,040 --> 00:10:12,640
No. Of course, the triple whammy that you're talking about in the 58th minute, Salamakker

159
00:10:12,640 --> 00:10:17,040
is coming on, Origi and De Quetelare, Origi and De Quetelare have not hit the ground running,

160
00:10:17,040 --> 00:10:20,800
they're not the people who are going to change the game for you, you know, 67th minute, boom,

161
00:10:20,800 --> 00:10:28,960
3-0, nail in the coffin, Milan are dead. I think personally, Bro, this point in the season is

162
00:10:28,960 --> 00:10:38,160
really highlighting Milan's failed summer in Mercato quite frankly. No, 100%, man, 100%. When

163
00:10:38,160 --> 00:10:45,200
a team wins a Scudetto, one of the most important things is to improve your side, because all eyes

164
00:10:45,200 --> 00:10:50,960
are on you. And it's very difficult to, obviously barring you there, it's very difficult to win

165
00:10:51,920 --> 00:10:58,160
two Scudettos, two Scudetti in a row, because you get figured out, people get used to you,

166
00:10:58,160 --> 00:11:04,640
people have studied you for an entire summer essentially, and you go in with, I would say,

167
00:11:04,640 --> 00:11:09,520
I wouldn't even say virtually the same team, because Milan lost Kessy, they lost Romagnoli,

168
00:11:11,280 --> 00:11:17,680
those are the ones that were lost, right? Yeah, I mean, so as you said, Romagnoli and Kessy left

169
00:11:17,680 --> 00:11:26,320
them, were not replaced. Yeah. Theo Hernandez's deputy remains void, right? That's something that

170
00:11:26,320 --> 00:11:31,680
has needed addressing for a while. The right winger has needed addressing for a while. A striker,

171
00:11:31,680 --> 00:11:36,240
when Origi was brought in, everyone was like, okay, he can't rotate, which was unlucky, the fact

172
00:11:36,240 --> 00:11:41,600
that he's been injured. Dickey Talaria was an investment for the future, sure, but people did

173
00:11:41,600 --> 00:11:45,840
think that he was going to do better. And in fact, his first two or three games were way better than

174
00:11:45,840 --> 00:11:50,880
what we've seen recently, his confidence has really plummeted. So you look at the starting 11,

175
00:11:50,880 --> 00:11:55,280
overall, it's weaker than it was last season. But in reality, you look at this team and you look at

176
00:11:55,280 --> 00:12:03,120
Lazio's team on paper, this team, this Milan team should be putting up a fight. Now, I'm starting to

177
00:12:04,240 --> 00:12:11,440
have my doubts about the effectiveness of the 4-2-3-1 formation without Kessy in the double

178
00:12:11,440 --> 00:12:16,960
pivot. Now, this formation was amazing with Kessy in the double pivot, because Kessy does the work

179
00:12:16,960 --> 00:12:22,240
of two men. Yeah. Therefore, you know, essentially having a Czech wartista, you're not missing out

180
00:12:22,240 --> 00:12:26,240
on anything in the midfield because you have this guy who's everywhere, who's outmuscling everyone,

181
00:12:26,240 --> 00:12:31,040
who's getting all the hard work done, who's doing all the dirty work. Not to shit on Tonali or

182
00:12:31,040 --> 00:12:34,160
Benassir, but they have different traits to Kessy, because he's a very unique player.

183
00:12:35,600 --> 00:12:42,320
I'm finding it difficult to justify playing this 4-2-3-1 formation with Brahim Diaz in the pocket

184
00:12:42,320 --> 00:12:48,320
and the CDK as the only alternative, when to be honest, they've been quite ineffective.

185
00:12:48,320 --> 00:12:53,600
Milan played, I mentioned this recently, Milan played a 4-3-1 against Juve, and they played it

186
00:12:53,600 --> 00:12:58,160
against another team. I forgot who it was, and I can't stress on how well that worked. Yeah.

187
00:12:58,160 --> 00:13:05,200
And it was Pobega that took that additional space in the midfield three, and it was Brahim who played

188
00:13:05,200 --> 00:13:10,000
out on the right, where he looked really, really good, especially drifting centrally, and obviously

189
00:13:10,000 --> 00:13:15,200
layout on the left and Giroud up top. I really liked that, and I think that should be utilized

190
00:13:15,200 --> 00:13:22,240
on a case-by-case basis. I agree with you that the 4-2-3-1 isn't effective as it was when there was

191
00:13:22,240 --> 00:13:28,000
Kessy in the pitch, but we've seen it work. We've seen Milan dominate some big teams with Tonali and

192
00:13:28,000 --> 00:13:32,400
Benassir in the team, even last season when Kessy was either playing an attacking midfield role or

193
00:13:32,400 --> 00:13:39,440
he was benched. So I wouldn't say that it's totally ineffective, but you play against a team like

194
00:13:39,440 --> 00:13:46,400
Lazio who are known for their midfield, especially when Sergei and Luis Alberto are playing together,

195
00:13:46,400 --> 00:13:52,160
and you're going to be pressed to oblivion in the midfield, then maybe that's one of the times where

196
00:13:52,160 --> 00:13:57,120
yeah, you should play a three in the midfield rather than a two in the midfield. Brahim tracking back,

197
00:13:57,120 --> 00:14:01,360
he's definitely improved in tracking back. He's put some mass on, he's put some muscle on, he

198
00:14:01,360 --> 00:14:06,240
can win the ball back, but still in comparison to your average player, he's very, very weak in that

199
00:14:06,240 --> 00:14:10,960
department, and he's going to need to get a lot more involved if Milan are going to be playing

200
00:14:10,960 --> 00:14:16,800
Benassir and Tonali in that double pivot. So there are a lot of things to focus on for Milan

201
00:14:16,800 --> 00:14:23,600
for improvement. It seems like Piole is more interested in trying out the 3-5-2 formation

202
00:14:23,600 --> 00:14:29,360
rather than the 4-3-2-1 formation. Was it the 3-5-2 or was it the 3-4-3?

203
00:14:29,360 --> 00:14:37,200
I believe it was a 3-4-3 or like a 3-4-2 or something, a 3 at the back, and then they just

204
00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,040
kind of do their own thing. But that's going to become even more difficult, bro, because

205
00:14:41,040 --> 00:14:48,080
Tomori has suffered a muscle injury. So that means the only options being Kier, Gabia, Kalulu.

206
00:14:51,440 --> 00:14:56,320
Who else? That's it. No, that's all, that's all. And obviously Kalulu hasn't been having the

207
00:14:56,320 --> 00:15:02,640
the best time ever, gave away a penalty in this game. It seems like the right side of Milan's

208
00:15:02,640 --> 00:15:07,920
defense with Calabria included. I mean, guys, go look up the goals. They all came from Milan's

209
00:15:07,920 --> 00:15:16,160
right side. They all came from Zaccani's side and Calabria's side. Calabria has experienced a defender

210
00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:23,040
he is and as good as he is when he has a lot of minutes to his name and he isn't just returning

211
00:15:23,040 --> 00:15:28,560
from an injury and a long layoff. It seems like he doesn't put any pressure on the man in front of

212
00:15:28,560 --> 00:15:34,080
him and the cross always goes in, man, a cross always goes in. He never stops the fucking cross.

213
00:15:34,640 --> 00:15:38,800
He does have a tendency of being beaten on the right side. He does get dribbled quite,

214
00:15:38,800 --> 00:15:45,840
quite often. Yeah, and his defending and his prime at his peak when he's at his best is one of his

215
00:15:45,840 --> 00:15:51,280
strongest points. He has standing tackles and all that. But it is a bit depressing and you know,

216
00:15:51,280 --> 00:15:55,520
seeing looking at Dest and Calabria this game, they were isolated the entire time. You know,

217
00:15:55,520 --> 00:16:00,880
Leo and Macias provided no balance. You know, I much prefer when Salah Makars plays when Leo

218
00:16:00,880 --> 00:16:05,120
is playing simply because of his defensive contribution. But you know, it's so easy in

219
00:16:05,120 --> 00:16:12,880
hindsight to point these things out. You know, I mean, essentially, this has to be mainly a

220
00:16:12,880 --> 00:16:19,280
confidence issue, not a systematic one, because we've seen this team even with Tata, even with,

221
00:16:19,280 --> 00:16:24,960
I don't know, Dest or Balot, for example, even with Macias and the team, we've seen this team

222
00:16:24,960 --> 00:16:31,920
do some spectacular things. So it has to be the run of form. It has to be something going on in

223
00:16:31,920 --> 00:16:38,320
the locker room. It's the players confidence. It's the shit run of form that Milan are going through.

224
00:16:39,200 --> 00:16:46,000
And Lazio, on the other hand, they're fighting back. They've been a bit on and off. They were

225
00:16:46,000 --> 00:16:52,960
super to start with. They fell off it a little bit. But now, bro, this performance, it was we're

226
00:16:52,960 --> 00:16:57,920
talking here, we're sitting here talking as if Milan were terrible, which they were. But Lazio,

227
00:16:57,920 --> 00:17:04,000
it's no joke. They were on fucking fire, man. They were best fucking fire. Performances of the

228
00:17:04,000 --> 00:17:10,240
Serie A for a hundred percent. So complete. Everything worked perfectly. Even the

229
00:17:11,280 --> 00:17:15,440
chemistry between the players. You can tell it's finally clicking like Philipp Anderson.

230
00:17:15,440 --> 00:17:19,120
And before the start of the game, bro, I told you, Philipp Anderson is shit enough to score against.

231
00:17:20,000 --> 00:17:25,120
He didn't only score. He played a brilliant, brilliant game. He was so smart in that false

232
00:17:25,120 --> 00:17:32,000
nine position. Yeah. And I also want to highlight, bro, so he has power to Lazio, very good

233
00:17:32,000 --> 00:17:39,520
performance, amazing Milan bad. Lazio had five shots on target. So Lazio had 10 shots. Milan had

234
00:17:39,520 --> 00:17:43,920
10 shots. Lazio had five shots on target. Milan had three shots on target. You would never think

235
00:17:43,920 --> 00:17:49,280
that those stats would lead to a to a foreign thumping. You know, I know like there's obviously

236
00:17:49,280 --> 00:17:53,920
something wrong at the back over there. And, you know, you look at Tatarasano, who is so passive

237
00:17:53,920 --> 00:18:02,960
when it comes to leaving his line, who's such. He's so weak when it comes to this character as

238
00:18:02,960 --> 00:18:08,720
a goalkeeper, like he doesn't command his area. No, the defenders seem to be so skeptical of him,

239
00:18:08,720 --> 00:18:12,640
everyone constantly shouting at him. And it's a bit of a disaster at the back right now for him.

240
00:18:12,640 --> 00:18:18,320
So there's two points to be made with what you just said. So number one is Milan defensively.

241
00:18:18,320 --> 00:18:23,040
So obviously Milan defensively, we've already spoken about Calabria out on the right, maybe

242
00:18:23,040 --> 00:18:28,560
Calhoun not being on the best of form. One massive factor is obviously Tatarasano and goal. And it's

243
00:18:28,560 --> 00:18:36,160
not only because of his lack of shot stopping abilities, but it's because he fails to guide

244
00:18:36,160 --> 00:18:42,560
that back four and he fails to take initiative when the back four aren't present. So for example,

245
00:18:43,360 --> 00:18:48,640
in the sequence that led to Pedro winning the penalty. So Kier gives the ball away because

246
00:18:49,360 --> 00:18:54,160
I believe it was Salah Makers was on the back foot. I didn't receive the ball and it was

247
00:18:54,160 --> 00:19:01,840
intercepted with one pass. It was played not down the wing, kind of centrally towards the wing,

248
00:19:01,840 --> 00:19:08,560
essentially. Tatar could have come out and dealt with that had he made up his mind in the first

249
00:19:08,560 --> 00:19:15,520
split second. But because he operates the way he operates, he kind of thought about it, went back,

250
00:19:15,520 --> 00:19:19,280
thought about it again. Then by the time he was thinking about it again, Philip Anderson was

251
00:19:19,280 --> 00:19:25,360
fucking there. And for that reason, Philip Anderson had all the time in the world to play the ball

252
00:19:25,360 --> 00:19:30,960
into the box and Calhoun had no other option than to merc Pedro and give away the penalty.

253
00:19:30,960 --> 00:19:40,400
So that was Tatarasanu's fault. In the second goal where Maricic shot and the ball hit the post,

254
00:19:40,400 --> 00:19:47,280
fell to, who was it that finished, Zakkani, fell to Zakkani and Zakkani finished, the ball went

255
00:19:47,280 --> 00:19:53,440
through Tatarasanu. Tatarasanu could have blocked that. You look at the replay and you slow it down.

256
00:19:53,440 --> 00:20:00,080
It's ridiculous how the ball went underneath Tatarasanu. So that's another mistake by Tatarasanu.

257
00:20:00,080 --> 00:20:05,520
None of them are obvious errors, but they do not happen when Mike Manon is on the pitch.

258
00:20:05,520 --> 00:20:12,560
The second point to be made is Milan going forward. The lack of threat, even with Léo on the pitch,

259
00:20:12,560 --> 00:20:18,320
is ridiculous. Milan did not have a sniff at Lazio's goal in this match. Is it because

260
00:20:19,440 --> 00:20:24,480
Lazio are so good defensively because they are? Or is it because Milan lack ideas and that's what

261
00:20:24,480 --> 00:20:30,000
led to Milan failing to score against Torino and Milan failing to score against Lazio and Milan

262
00:20:30,000 --> 00:20:35,280
failing to score against Inter? Yeah, it's an offensive plan that simply isn't working at the

263
00:20:35,280 --> 00:20:41,760
moment. The best manoeuvres Milan had offensively this game came through Junior Macias every time.

264
00:20:41,760 --> 00:20:47,040
Macias beating Hisai, that's it. And to be honest, I really thought that Léo was going to have a

265
00:20:47,040 --> 00:20:53,040
field day against Maricic, but of course he wasn't at the races. And Ciasale and Romagnoli again,

266
00:20:53,040 --> 00:20:59,520
power to them, very good center back duo. Yeah, very good center back duo. I think that's pretty

267
00:20:59,520 --> 00:21:06,560
much covers it. Obviously there was, you mentioned a knock on Tomori, he has a muscle injury, which is

268
00:21:08,400 --> 00:21:19,840
pardon my pronunciation, but it's a lesion of a rotator muscle on his left hip. So that is a

269
00:21:19,840 --> 00:21:25,840
painful and potentially lengthy one. He's probably out for the Milan derby. So we'll see what happens

270
00:21:25,840 --> 00:21:32,480
there. Calabria suffered quite a tough knock towards the end of the game, but it's a knock.

271
00:21:32,480 --> 00:21:40,400
It's not muscular. He'll have a lot of bruising on his Achilles tendon after that, but nothing

272
00:21:41,120 --> 00:21:44,800
the guy can't recover from, I hope. Yeah, he was in agony towards the end of the game.

273
00:21:46,000 --> 00:21:52,800
Before we move on, I'd like to point out how amazing the Curvasudes, the Milan fans are

274
00:21:52,800 --> 00:21:59,760
unbelievable. It's in Lotio Stadium at the Olympica. The scoreboard reads 4-0, and all you can hear

275
00:21:59,760 --> 00:22:08,640
are the Milan fans singing, you are my first love, I'll always love you, those romantic lyrics,

276
00:22:08,640 --> 00:22:13,280
and they're chanting them and they're singing them so loudly, man, it's echoing through the stadium.

277
00:22:13,280 --> 00:22:19,680
And this is when they were losing 4-0. It's amazing. After witnessing that on a weekday,

278
00:22:19,680 --> 00:22:25,120
on a Tuesday night, away from home in Rome, they're there till the very final whistle.

279
00:22:25,120 --> 00:22:30,160
Lotio fans, a lot of them weren't even there till the final whistle. At the end you could only hear

280
00:22:30,160 --> 00:22:37,440
the Milan supporters, and just beautiful to see. Players like the Catellari, the Tarasano, Tonali,

281
00:22:37,440 --> 00:22:44,320
who didn't have the best performances, all stood in front of the Curva, and the Curva urging them

282
00:22:44,320 --> 00:22:51,120
on singing sweet nothings to them. If that doesn't fill you with adrenaline, I don't know what to do.

283
00:22:51,120 --> 00:22:55,920
No, fans like the Real Madrid fans that throw you under the bus for one bad performance,

284
00:22:59,280 --> 00:23:05,920
they fucking ruin you. But that is the fan base that we identify with, and that's the type of fan

285
00:23:05,920 --> 00:23:13,280
base that should be encouraged in football. But yes, Milan are in second with 38 points,

286
00:23:13,280 --> 00:23:18,240
as Matthew said, they have gone from a title race, allegedly, even though that was quite a stretch

287
00:23:18,240 --> 00:23:25,040
already, it was quite optimistic, to fighting it out in the top four, as Lotio are in third on 37

288
00:23:25,040 --> 00:23:31,520
points, Inter are in fourth on 37 points, Roma are in fifth on 37 points, Atalanta are in sixth on 35

289
00:23:31,520 --> 00:23:36,480
points. What a league. So all those guys are going to be battling it out for Champions League. What a

290
00:23:36,480 --> 00:23:45,360
league. The next game we're going to be covering is Juventus 3, Atalanta 3. Mamma mia, che partita.

291
00:23:45,360 --> 00:23:52,320
The game of the week, eh? Yeah. So of course, before we get into that, the line-ups we should

292
00:23:52,320 --> 00:23:58,400
address that Juventus have been docked 15 points due to financial irregularities and the whole

293
00:23:58,400 --> 00:24:06,000
capital gains investigation. Yes, I guess that's what you get when you value the likes of Portanova,

294
00:24:06,000 --> 00:24:10,560
who is currently in prison for 20 million, Emil Aldeirov, no one had heard of, he hadn't even

295
00:24:10,560 --> 00:24:15,840
played a single game back then, 20 million, Sturaro to Genoa for 20 million, Danilo on the swap deal

296
00:24:15,840 --> 00:24:20,480
involved for Cancelo, granted that actually worked out quite well because Danilo has been quite a

297
00:24:20,480 --> 00:24:29,120
gem. The whole Arthur and Pianich drama, you know, so many weird signings. I mean, to me,

298
00:24:29,120 --> 00:24:34,960
it's obvious money laundering. It's obvious money laundering. It's just there was that clause

299
00:24:34,960 --> 00:24:40,560
initially, obviously, that a player's price tag is subjective and the supply against demand.

300
00:24:41,760 --> 00:24:50,080
But yeah, this has been finally addressed and Juventus have been penalized. You can't help but

301
00:24:50,080 --> 00:24:54,160
feel bad for the players, you know, because of course this is an off the field issue and Allegri

302
00:24:54,160 --> 00:24:59,840
did say that it feels like all their hard work has been randomly taken from them. But yeah, these

303
00:24:59,840 --> 00:25:06,480
are problems from the top. And of course, they knew that these were irregularities as the entire

304
00:25:06,480 --> 00:25:10,240
board fucking resigned. And that's not something that happens every day. Yeah, no, an entire board

305
00:25:10,240 --> 00:25:15,920
of directors resigns, resigned. The last time we saw that happen was with labor.

306
00:25:17,600 --> 00:25:26,480
Yes, that's the last time. There's a power cut, I can just start stepping down. Exactly, exactly.

307
00:25:26,480 --> 00:25:35,040
And suddenly there is no elected bureau. Konrad Mitzi has resigned. Chris Cardona has resigned.

308
00:25:36,240 --> 00:25:45,440
Maltese politics. But anyway, you've lined up with a 3-5-1-1 formation with Shesney and Goal,

309
00:25:45,440 --> 00:25:52,160
the center back trio of Sandro Bremmer and Danilo with Kostilce on the left, McKennie on the right,

310
00:25:52,160 --> 00:25:56,800
Rabiolo, Kateli and Fagioli in the middle with the amazing Di Maria playing behind Millic.

311
00:25:58,640 --> 00:26:04,400
Atanata lined up with a 3-4-2-1 formation with Mussangol, Toloi, Palomino and Scalvini at the

312
00:26:04,400 --> 00:26:10,160
back with Hatteberg on the right, Mele on the left, Derun and Anderson in the middle. Ederson.

313
00:26:10,160 --> 00:26:12,800
Ederson, sorry, not Anderson. My god, I'm so drunk.

314
00:26:12,800 --> 00:26:21,280
Lookman and Boga playing behind Hoyland, the budget, Haaland. Budget, not quite.

315
00:26:22,800 --> 00:26:28,000
But anyway, in the fifth minute, Lookman tried his luck from a rather tight angle and Shesney

316
00:26:28,000 --> 00:26:33,840
failed to keep it out of his near post despite getting two hands on it, giving Atalanta the lead.

317
00:26:33,840 --> 00:26:40,320
In the fifth minute, through a very, very rare mistake from the veteran goalkeeper,

318
00:26:40,320 --> 00:26:45,760
Wojtek Shesney. A very rare mistake this season because we have seen him be quite

319
00:26:45,760 --> 00:26:49,200
mistake error prone in the past. It's true, fair enough.

320
00:26:49,200 --> 00:26:54,240
In the twenty-fifth minute, Di Maria scored a penalty after the referee returned to VAR to

321
00:26:54,240 --> 00:26:59,040
review an incident in the Atalanta area. He found Ederson guilty of a foul on Fagioli,

322
00:26:59,040 --> 00:27:03,840
who collided with Di Maria. Di Maria scored the penalty by sending Mussangol the wrong way,

323
00:27:03,840 --> 00:27:08,960
1-1. In the thirty-fourth minute, Fagioli crossed the ball brilliantly from out wide and found the

324
00:27:08,960 --> 00:27:13,600
oncoming Millick, who finished cleanly on the bounce, giving Juve the lead 2-1.

325
00:27:14,320 --> 00:27:18,080
In the forty-sixth minute, there was a brilliant passage of play to start.

326
00:27:18,720 --> 00:27:23,040
This was at the beginning of the second half. Danilo gave the ball away to Scalvini at the

327
00:27:23,040 --> 00:27:27,600
restart. The ball was then played through to Lookman, Wojtek Atalca and played Mejle through,

328
00:27:27,600 --> 00:27:34,800
who found the back of the net cleanly 2-2. In the fifty-third minute, Atalanta star

329
00:27:34,800 --> 00:27:39,040
Boga held the ball well out wide and provided a brilliant cross to the unmarked Lookman,

330
00:27:39,040 --> 00:27:43,760
who headed in well, leaving Ciesny rooted to the spot and now the score is 3-2.

331
00:27:43,760 --> 00:27:48,400
In the sixty-fifth minute, that's when our goal of the week took place, Di Maria fainted a free kick

332
00:27:48,400 --> 00:27:53,680
and lead it off to Danilo, who fired a rocket into the bottom corner. And that tied everything up at

333
00:27:53,680 --> 00:28:01,680
3-3. What a game, bro. A very good game, man. It's not often that you see two comebacks in one game

334
00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:06,880
or three comebacks, rather. Atalanta open the scoring, Juve equalise and then go ahead.

335
00:28:06,880 --> 00:28:11,840
And then Atalanta equalise and then go ahead. And then Juve pull one back and make it 3-3.

336
00:28:11,840 --> 00:28:16,480
In the sixty-fifth, a very, very exciting and even affair between these two teams.

337
00:28:16,480 --> 00:28:20,320
It's like every team that was ahead, I was like, of course this team is ahead. Of course Juve are

338
00:28:20,320 --> 00:28:25,600
ahead. I'm like, I know, of course Atalanta are ahead. But a very, very even game and two very

339
00:28:25,600 --> 00:28:33,120
talented teams. Juve returning well after that, obviously, incident that docked them 15 points.

340
00:28:33,120 --> 00:28:37,280
They looked full of confidence. They looked full of fire. They looked full of fight. And I think

341
00:28:37,280 --> 00:28:42,240
we're still going to see the same old Juve, except maybe their defence is a bit leakier after the

342
00:28:42,240 --> 00:28:48,160
Napoli game. Yeah, that's an interesting point, bro. They went eight games without conceding a

343
00:28:48,160 --> 00:28:53,680
single goal. And now in two games, they've conceded what? Eight? Yeah, eight goals. Eight goals,

344
00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:58,400
exactly. In two games. Something has completely shifted over there. And now the fact that, you

345
00:28:58,400 --> 00:29:04,880
know, Allegri plays two makeshift centre backs and a back three, perhaps that was exposed against

346
00:29:04,880 --> 00:29:12,480
these very fast paced, you know, tough opponents. That's it. Because Juve are against most opponents,

347
00:29:12,480 --> 00:29:16,960
they have the ability to hang on the ball themselves. But once they catch themselves with

348
00:29:16,960 --> 00:29:22,560
too much defending to do, then that's the only opportunity they have to get exposed. And against

349
00:29:22,560 --> 00:29:27,920
Napoli, obviously they got more than Napoli love having the ball and their quick passages of play

350
00:29:27,920 --> 00:29:33,200
and all their linkups, so on and so forth. Atalanta love hanging on to the ball and they've kind of

351
00:29:33,200 --> 00:29:38,320
rediscovered that pace that they were lacking earlier on with the wings with Lukman, Boga,

352
00:29:38,320 --> 00:29:43,040
so on and so forth. So the second Juve need to defend, that's when they suck at defending.

353
00:29:43,040 --> 00:29:47,840
Otherwise, when they're hanging on to the ball, then their defence is great, man. Fair enough.

354
00:29:47,840 --> 00:29:52,480
And they did need to, not only did they need to defend this game, they also needed to attack,

355
00:29:52,480 --> 00:29:57,120
which left them quite exposed. The fact that Atalanta constantly kept pressing at them,

356
00:29:57,120 --> 00:30:01,120
you know, constantly taking the lead, Juve had to keep coming back and back and back. That did open

357
00:30:01,120 --> 00:30:06,880
them up a little bit. I want to highlight, bro, Adam Ola Lukman. Adam Ola Lukman is on 11 goals

358
00:30:06,880 --> 00:30:11,440
and three assists this season. He's the second top scorer in the league. Ozymen is first with 13

359
00:30:11,440 --> 00:30:19,120
goals and three assists. Ozymen is on a goal every 96 minutes. Lukman is on a goal every 99 minutes.

360
00:30:20,160 --> 00:30:24,320
What a signing, bro, completely under the radar, this Lukman signing, everyone talking about

361
00:30:24,320 --> 00:30:29,520
Gvaratskelia, who amazing, he's amazing. He's on seven goals, seven assists, you know, amazing for

362
00:30:29,520 --> 00:30:36,720
a winger, but Lukman's numbers are insane. Yeah, yeah. And especially, like you could, you could

363
00:30:36,720 --> 00:30:43,680
regard him as one of the best signings or definitely one of the best signings in the summer

364
00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:48,640
window. I wouldn't say he's number one because of Gvaradon and because of what he's done and how

365
00:30:48,640 --> 00:30:54,560
magical he looks, but let me tell you what, bro, it is very close between Gvarat and Lukman for that

366
00:30:54,560 --> 00:31:00,240
number one spot. Lukman has been incredible and it's not like he's just getting goals against the

367
00:31:00,240 --> 00:31:07,920
bottom tier teams, but two goals and one assist in a 3-3 draw at the Allianz against Juve. That is

368
00:31:07,920 --> 00:31:12,880
massive. He contributed to every single one of their goals and he netted two of them. That's

369
00:31:12,880 --> 00:31:18,640
unbelievable. And you look back at him in the prem, he was considered a flop. He comes here,

370
00:31:18,640 --> 00:31:26,240
man, he comes to our league and his talent is shining and he's himself, he's confident and wow,

371
00:31:26,240 --> 00:31:30,720
what a signing man, totally transformed the South Atlanta team. He really has. And if you look at

372
00:31:30,720 --> 00:31:35,360
his shooting stats as well, they're way better than everyone else around them, even better than

373
00:31:35,360 --> 00:31:40,640
Ozzy, even better than Lautaro, Zola, Lea, all these guys with the stats. His goal conversion rate

374
00:31:40,640 --> 00:31:46,880
is 50%, which means he scores every other shot and the shot accuracy is 73%. To put that into

375
00:31:46,880 --> 00:31:53,920
perspective, Lautaro's shot accuracy is 44%, Ozzy meant 53%. Conversion rate, Ozzy meant 28%,

376
00:31:53,920 --> 00:32:01,200
Leuqman meant 50%, Gvar at scale at 23%, Debal at 29%. It's crazy, dude. Leao 22%.

377
00:32:02,000 --> 00:32:06,720
That's fucking mad, man. That's fucking mad. The guy is accurate and he chooses his moments.

378
00:32:07,840 --> 00:32:14,000
Another player, the protagonist on the other, on the opposing team, was of course DeMaria. Now,

379
00:32:14,000 --> 00:32:20,720
DeMaria will have to enjoy him while he's still at Juve. While he's still fit as well.

380
00:32:20,720 --> 00:32:24,720
Yeah, while he's still fit as well. Because I highly, highly, highly, highly doubt he will be

381
00:32:24,720 --> 00:32:31,920
there next season. He's kind of one of those players that comes for one year and is at that

382
00:32:31,920 --> 00:32:36,160
point in his career. Now he's old, there's a little turmoil in the club. I highly doubt he'll stay.

383
00:32:38,000 --> 00:32:41,280
What a fucking performance. This guy's a big game player by definition.

384
00:32:42,400 --> 00:32:47,680
I think that DeMaria is still one of the best players in the world at this moment in time. I

385
00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:52,720
don't think there's any reason to think that he's not. Maybe the injuries that keep him out of the

386
00:32:52,720 --> 00:32:57,440
game for lengthy periods every now and then. But when he's on the pitch and when he's put on the

387
00:32:57,440 --> 00:33:05,600
big stage, there are few players I would rather want on my team than DeMaria. Yeah, that's totally

388
00:33:05,600 --> 00:33:10,080
true. And you know, the fact that he has played three finals in a row and scored in all three of

389
00:33:10,080 --> 00:33:15,680
them. It just goes to show the mentality on this skinny alien looking fella. And as well, down the

390
00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:19,840
middle, bro. He's so good down the wing. He's so good down the middle. He's versatile, man. He's

391
00:33:19,840 --> 00:33:27,360
intelligent. His passing is, he's so sneaky with his passing. Those no-look passes and those hidden

392
00:33:27,360 --> 00:33:35,680
passes are gorgeous. The way he angles himself as though he's going to the left. The entire defense

393
00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:41,680
shifts to that area and then he plays someone in on the right. He's so good at that man down the

394
00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:47,760
middle. And as much as Milleke has been great because he has been fucking phenomenal Milleke

395
00:33:47,760 --> 00:33:54,400
for Juve, I can't wait to see Vláovic up front with DeMaria just behind him, Chiezo on one side,

396
00:33:54,400 --> 00:34:01,840
Kostič on the other. It's going to be exciting, man. Totally, bro. Juve are currently sitting

397
00:34:01,840 --> 00:34:06,560
10th, bro. They have 23 points. They asked Allegri, yo, what the fuck's going on? Are you going to

398
00:34:06,560 --> 00:34:11,360
make Champions League? And he said, and this is a quote, I don't know if we can do it. I think at

399
00:34:11,360 --> 00:34:15,920
71 points, you will probably get into the Champions League. It's tough, but we have Serie A, the Coppa

400
00:34:15,920 --> 00:34:20,400
Italia and the Europa League. So we take it one step at a time. It's impossible to think that far

401
00:34:20,400 --> 00:34:26,880
into the future. He is right because tides can turn very quickly in football. In fact, I wouldn't

402
00:34:26,880 --> 00:34:30,080
even confidently put money on Apoli winning the league at this point. You never know what's going

403
00:34:30,080 --> 00:34:36,800
to happen, especially with all these lawyers on the case and investigations going on. But yes,

404
00:34:36,800 --> 00:34:45,680
bro, do you think right now, as it stands, Juve can make Champions League? Right now, I don't think so.

405
00:34:46,640 --> 00:34:52,000
Right now, you look at the teams that are ahead of Juve that are picking up the pace. So we look at

406
00:34:52,000 --> 00:34:59,200
the Lazio's, the Roma's, the Atalanta's. Let's not talk about the Milan teams for now, for obvious

407
00:34:59,200 --> 00:35:07,520
reasons. And I don't see them dropping that many points that will allow Juve back in. Juve will do

408
00:35:07,520 --> 00:35:13,920
everything right, man, and they'll get fucking close. But I don't think these teams drive and

409
00:35:13,920 --> 00:35:19,920
their passion would allow them to drop so many points, I think. Yeah, I mean, what are the odds?

410
00:35:19,920 --> 00:35:24,720
Okay, so Napoli, we can guarantee no Champions League. Let's say that Napoli have qualified

411
00:35:24,720 --> 00:35:28,000
in Champions League, even though obviously in football, you can never make these assumptions,

412
00:35:28,000 --> 00:35:34,080
but we're going to do it anyway. So that leaves Milan, Lazio, Inter, Roma, Atalanta. That's five

413
00:35:34,080 --> 00:35:43,840
teams and top four. I highly doubt that two of these guys, three of these guys need to slip up

414
00:35:43,840 --> 00:35:48,240
for Juve to slip in there. I highly doubt the three of them are going to. Bro, there's Milan,

415
00:35:48,240 --> 00:35:53,680
Lazio, Inter, Roma, Atalanta. Yeah, like this is, of course, it's Atalanta with Gasparini playing

416
00:35:53,680 --> 00:36:01,360
without pressure once a week, you know, doing bits. You have Roma under Mourinho, once again,

417
00:36:01,360 --> 00:36:06,240
doing bits, winning games so much. You have Inter and Milan, who are Inter and Milan, despite the

418
00:36:06,240 --> 00:36:11,840
fact that they're going to. Yeah, they fit a rough patch right now, but they're still so far ahead of

419
00:36:11,840 --> 00:36:18,480
Juve as it stands. Lazio are the ones that I think can dip, but even them, they're deep into a Sarri

420
00:36:18,480 --> 00:36:24,240
philosophy now. They're approaching what, year three of Sarri, year two of Sarri? Year two, is it?

421
00:36:24,240 --> 00:36:29,280
Last season was their first season. Year two of Sarri, so good things to come for them as well.

422
00:36:29,840 --> 00:36:34,560
Very difficult for Juve as it stands. European spots are not impossible, as I believe they're

423
00:36:34,560 --> 00:36:39,360
only five points away from a Conference League spot as it stands. So yeah, we'll see, game by

424
00:36:39,360 --> 00:36:47,040
game, as Alnigri said. Yeah, they would have been on 38 points right now, one second had they not

425
00:36:47,040 --> 00:36:52,160
been docked 15, so very unfortunate for them. They'd be on 40 if they hadn't been robbed against

426
00:36:52,160 --> 00:36:57,680
Salernitana as well. That's true, that's true, and obviously we haven't addressed the Napoli situation

427
00:36:57,680 --> 00:37:03,360
yet and the potential docking of points over there, but I said maybe we'll get into it when

428
00:37:03,360 --> 00:37:09,040
we cover Napoli. But we might as well, to be honest. It's as simple as during the Victor

429
00:37:09,040 --> 00:37:16,000
Ozyman operation, 20 million of those funds were made up of three youth players and one veteran

430
00:37:16,000 --> 00:37:21,600
goalkeeper who didn't have much experience and these guys were valued at 20 million.

431
00:37:24,400 --> 00:37:28,960
Now these guys went to Lille, apparently. They interviewed these youths that went the opposite

432
00:37:28,960 --> 00:37:34,640
direction and they said that they have never stepped foot in Lille and that Napoli ruined

433
00:37:34,640 --> 00:37:38,000
their careers. You look at where they are right now, these guys, one of them plays in Serie A,

434
00:37:38,000 --> 00:37:43,440
the other one's unemployed, the other one plays in Serie D. So there was a little bit of the same

435
00:37:43,440 --> 00:37:49,520
thing. They're now involved in the Ozymandil. So we'll see what happens over there. Inter are also

436
00:37:49,520 --> 00:37:54,960
a little bit nervous, but their cases aren't as obvious because the players have since established

437
00:37:54,960 --> 00:38:04,480
themselves quite well in my opinion. There are the likes of Mbaie, there was Pinamonte, Puskas,

438
00:38:04,480 --> 00:38:10,960
Sadorante, Van Guitzen, Burgio, Merola. These are all basically names like whoo-hoo-hoo-hoo-hoo.

439
00:38:10,960 --> 00:38:14,160
And it's bang, three million, five million, two million, two million, five million. You know what

440
00:38:14,160 --> 00:38:18,880
I mean? So these things will obviously be investigated. Apparently according to the

441
00:38:20,400 --> 00:38:27,040
body that's taking care of all this, eight teams remain to be investigated. So we'll see what the

442
00:38:27,040 --> 00:38:34,000
fuck happens. Maybe everyone gets docked points and the top four battle becomes a relegation battle.

443
00:38:34,000 --> 00:38:41,920
Potentially, potentially. Well, that's a good segue on to our next match. But before that,

444
00:38:41,920 --> 00:38:48,000
Atalanta are in sixth on 35 points and Juve are in tenth on 23 points. But the next game we're

445
00:38:48,000 --> 00:38:54,000
going to be covering is Salernitana nil Napoli two. So before we get into this, obviously,

446
00:38:54,720 --> 00:39:01,040
last episode we spoke about Salernitana wrongfully sacking Davide Nicola because of their eight-two

447
00:39:01,040 --> 00:39:08,640
loss to Atalanta. I always said it was absurd and that they should have never gotten rid of him and

448
00:39:08,640 --> 00:39:13,360
that he's a miracle maker at Salernitana. A couple days later, they re-signed him after he had a

449
00:39:13,360 --> 00:39:19,760
meeting with the board. So it turns out Serious Spotlight was right again. But Salernitana nil

450
00:39:19,760 --> 00:39:25,360
Napoli two, Salernitana lined up in a 4-5-1 formation with Ochoa Ngole on the back line

451
00:39:25,360 --> 00:39:32,240
of Brotherich, Pirola, Gyomber and Danilolic. Dia was out on the left, Kanjeva out on the right,

452
00:39:32,240 --> 00:39:38,720
and the midfield three of Vilena, Kavillia and Kulibaly with Piontek up front as the lone striker.

453
00:39:39,600 --> 00:39:45,040
Napoli lined up in their 4-3-3 formation with Maret in goal, a back line of Dilorenzo, Rahmani,

454
00:39:45,040 --> 00:39:51,360
Minje and Rui, and with Salobot-Kanzielinski in the midfield with Lozano, Ossimen and Elmas

455
00:39:51,360 --> 00:39:58,320
up front. So in the 33rd minute, Dilorenzo lobbed the ball through to Ossimen with a wonderful touch

456
00:39:58,320 --> 00:40:02,960
and Ossimen smashed the ball to the near post, but the Nigerian was marginally offside, so therefore

457
00:40:02,960 --> 00:40:09,280
the goal was cancelled. In the 47th minute, still in the first half, Dilorenzo scored and Gwissa

458
00:40:09,280 --> 00:40:14,400
played a lovely 1-2 with Mario Rui, before playing the ball low from the byline to Dilorenzo, who

459
00:40:14,400 --> 00:40:20,320
smashed the ball in off the crossbar to make it 1-0. At the start of the second half in the 48th

460
00:40:20,320 --> 00:40:25,360
minute, Ossimen scored, Elmas's long-ranged curling effort hit the post and landed to Ossimen,

461
00:40:25,360 --> 00:40:31,440
who rebounded the ball into the back of the net, making it 2-0. In the 58th minute, Ochoa got down

462
00:40:31,440 --> 00:40:36,720
well to the Nyan Ossimen header with a very strong hand, and in the 82nd minute, Piontek was clean

463
00:40:36,720 --> 00:40:41,760
through on goal after a defensive error by Napoli, but Maret once again provided the heroics,

464
00:40:41,760 --> 00:40:46,560
pushing the hard shot onto the post. What an improvement there by Maret.

465
00:40:46,560 --> 00:40:54,400
So yep, this was obviously a campagna derby between Salernitana and Napoli. Napoli pretty

466
00:40:54,400 --> 00:41:01,760
much dominated over here, the possession was 75-25, the shots were 9-5, just like us bro.

467
00:41:01,760 --> 00:41:04,720
Just like us bro, 9-5 everyday baby the grind.

468
00:41:05,840 --> 00:41:11,600
Shots on goal was 4 for Napoli and 2 for Salernitana. However, Salernitana never look bad when they

469
00:41:11,600 --> 00:41:17,440
play Napoli. They never look bad, they do play up to the occasion, and in fact they don't often

470
00:41:17,440 --> 00:41:24,880
look bad Salernitana in general under Nicola apart from that freak game that Lervolino,

471
00:41:24,880 --> 00:41:32,000
the president by the women's hilarious name Lervolina, Danilo Lervolino, like come on there's

472
00:41:32,000 --> 00:41:38,480
no way that's her name Danilo Lervolino. He called him, sacked him, apparently Nicola called him back

473
00:41:38,480 --> 00:41:44,240
after he had been on the phone. Lervolina called Rafa Benitez asking him like can you come and coach

474
00:41:44,240 --> 00:41:48,880
my team. It's hilarious the people that they call, they're like can you come coach my team please

475
00:41:48,880 --> 00:41:54,080
Salernitana is really nice. Google it quickly, google it, google it, look at the view. He's like no man

476
00:41:54,080 --> 00:42:03,600
I'm old, I'm done man, I have to learn Italian like fuck that. You know I served Rafa Benitez's wife

477
00:42:03,600 --> 00:42:11,520
room service at Gleneagles. Nice, was he there? He wasn't, he wasn't, no I believe he was managing

478
00:42:12,640 --> 00:42:26,560
Newcastle, no. So that was the season 2016-2017 I believe that was the season that he had just

479
00:42:26,560 --> 00:42:32,800
gotten sacked from Real. Real replaced him with Zidane and the rest is history but I think that

480
00:42:32,800 --> 00:42:37,920
was the season so he wasn't there he was probably in Spain at the time or you know being sacked and

481
00:42:37,920 --> 00:42:43,360
depressed and his wife was at the Gleneagles hotel and I was serving her some vegan fucking

482
00:42:43,360 --> 00:42:47,920
roll in her room and they let me do it because I'm a football fan and no one else in room service

483
00:42:47,920 --> 00:42:52,960
was a football fan because it was me and two girls so. Was she pleasant? She was very pleasant, very

484
00:42:52,960 --> 00:42:58,800
polite, very nice. Yeah she put her phone down to speak to me and I told her I love what her husband

485
00:42:58,800 --> 00:43:06,000
did with Liverpool. Little does she know that in 2005 he broke my fucking heart but whatever man.

486
00:43:06,640 --> 00:43:08,880
Yes guys so that's my brother a compulsive liar.

487
00:43:13,040 --> 00:43:19,920
But yes but he was of course his plan A but apparently after plan A there was no plan B

488
00:43:19,920 --> 00:43:26,080
right so they just rehired Davide and Nicola and to be honest fair enough. Yeah yeah but maybe they

489
00:43:26,080 --> 00:43:32,640
should have established that plan before they took action. Yes definitely definitely but yes bro

490
00:43:32,640 --> 00:43:38,640
Napoli proved to be way too much for the Salernitana side as they dominated possession and looked like

491
00:43:38,640 --> 00:43:43,760
they were going to score from the get-go to be honest with 75% possession for Napoli they had

492
00:43:43,760 --> 00:43:48,320
nine shots to Salernitana's five four shots on target to Salernitana's two shots on target they

493
00:43:48,320 --> 00:43:52,960
scored at the best time possible both best times possible to be honest they got a goal towards the

494
00:43:52,960 --> 00:43:56,960
end of the first half and then they got a goal early on in the second half which was best time

495
00:43:56,960 --> 00:44:03,600
to score they killed the game boom they move. Exactly exactly it's tough to see Napoli not

496
00:44:03,600 --> 00:44:09,920
running away with it now they're ahead by 12 points in first place they have so many outlets

497
00:44:09,920 --> 00:44:15,760
they have so many options in their team Capocannoniere in Victorosimen when he's not

498
00:44:15,760 --> 00:44:22,480
fit they've got Raspadori they've got Simeone out wide when Gvaradona isn't fit they've got Elmas on

499
00:44:22,480 --> 00:44:28,480
the other side with Poletano isn't fit they've got Chucky Lozano in the midfield they have abundance

500
00:44:28,480 --> 00:44:35,600
of talent as well so yeah it's just tough to see Napoli falling off I think the only way any other

501
00:44:35,600 --> 00:44:43,440
team stands a chance is if that Victorosimen signing does really get investigated and there

502
00:44:43,440 --> 00:44:51,120
really is a case of you know a scandal over there I think as far as that is concerned that's the only

503
00:44:51,120 --> 00:44:58,160
way that they can dip this season. Salernitano on the other hand are in 16th place on 18 points

504
00:44:58,160 --> 00:45:04,800
level of points with Spezia and one point ahead of Sassuolo. Yes bro I'm gonna move on to the next

505
00:45:04,800 --> 00:45:15,040
game Inter nil and Poli won. Crazy crazy another crazy game over here yeah Inter lined up with their

506
00:45:15,040 --> 00:45:20,960
3-5-2 formation with Onana and goal Bastoni, Devry and Scrinia are at the back they mark on the left

507
00:45:20,960 --> 00:45:25,200
Darmian on the right with Mkhitaryan, Inshallah Noghlam, Baral on the middle with Brozovich still

508
00:45:25,200 --> 00:45:31,920
injured the striking partnership this game was Correa and Martinez. For Empoli it was their 4-3-1-2

509
00:45:31,920 --> 00:45:37,840
formation with Vicarrio in goal, Ebwehi on the right, Winter and Luperto at the back with

510
00:45:37,840 --> 00:45:42,880
Parnisi on the left, Akba Akbro in the middle with Henderson and Bandinelli with Bayrami in the

511
00:45:42,880 --> 00:45:50,240
track wide disaposition Kambiani and Caputo up front. Now the 25th minute Scrinia got a yellow

512
00:45:50,240 --> 00:45:58,320
card and his argue was like all right there are these memes about me and that I always substitute

513
00:45:58,320 --> 00:46:03,760
people when they get a yellow card I'm not gonna do it all right I'm gonna show them that I trust

514
00:46:03,760 --> 00:46:10,320
my players 40th minute Scrinia second yellow red card kicks Caputo on the head there was

515
00:46:12,000 --> 00:46:16,400
fucking just after telling his agent to find him a way out of Milan.

516
00:46:16,400 --> 00:46:24,240
Massive tension between Inter and the Scrinia's agent as PSNG have come in guns blazing for

517
00:46:25,200 --> 00:46:33,200
Slovak international and they're apparently they've offered a signing bonus of 25 million

518
00:46:33,200 --> 00:46:39,760
so just from signing the contract Scrinia gets 25 million euros and he'll be making over 9 million

519
00:46:39,760 --> 00:46:45,760
euros a season over there as well so that's wow that's crazy okay this might be the last

520
00:46:45,760 --> 00:46:53,440
season we see Scrinia in Italy yeah um yes and then halftime came along and Zaghi brought on

521
00:46:53,440 --> 00:46:58,400
Bellanova for Correa to make up for the missing defender and then the 65th minute in just two

522
00:46:58,400 --> 00:47:05,840
minutes after being introduced Baldanzi scored a goal on a counter striking the ball low and hard

523
00:47:05,840 --> 00:47:14,000
past Anana from just inside the area in the 71st minute Serbian Inter had Lukaku, Dzeko and Lautaro

524
00:47:14,000 --> 00:47:17,520
all on the pitch they had three strikers on the pitch they had two fullbacks they only had two

525
00:47:17,520 --> 00:47:22,960
midfielders operating over there as they desperately tried to get a goal back but it was all in vain.

526
00:47:22,960 --> 00:47:27,760
Bro I think Inter started this game really lethargically Empoli looked way sharper the

527
00:47:27,760 --> 00:47:31,600
duels the one-on-ones they were just beating them all in every area of the pitch what do you think?

528
00:47:32,240 --> 00:47:37,840
So I think initially um firstly I just have to say this probably comes from a bit of a

529
00:47:37,840 --> 00:47:45,600
a biased perspective but I hate it when teams win something like the Super Cup and they show up to

530
00:47:45,600 --> 00:47:53,840
a game with with this fucking gold font on their kit with with this Arabic text on their kit and

531
00:47:53,840 --> 00:47:58,640
they have the trophy on display in the pitch and they're walking out like they're bigger than this

532
00:47:58,640 --> 00:48:05,680
game because they just won this fucking Super Cup at trophies but they went in I don't know if it

533
00:48:05,680 --> 00:48:13,600
was lethargically or overconfident it seemed like there wasn't any grinta from Inter's game from the

534
00:48:13,600 --> 00:48:18,960
get-go it was almost like ah the goal is gonna come the goal is gonna come there was no urgency for it

535
00:48:19,840 --> 00:48:26,880
Empoli even when the game was 11 v 11 Empoli were very good they were very active they were breaking

536
00:48:26,880 --> 00:48:31,120
down Inter's play they were pressing Inter's play and they constantly had 11 men behind the ball

537
00:48:31,120 --> 00:48:37,040
what they did brilliantly Empoli is the second Inter got that red card which screen you are getting

538
00:48:37,040 --> 00:48:42,960
the yellow card second yellow card very stupidly by the way it was a ridiculously stupid challenge

539
00:48:42,960 --> 00:48:48,000
Caputo was leading with his head forward he's like yep I'm gonna try kick the ball here

540
00:48:48,000 --> 00:48:55,280
my fucking foot might go through Caputo's head who by the way has a massive bandage on his head

541
00:48:55,280 --> 00:49:01,280
as if that's not gonna be even worse like but whatever but the second they went a man down

542
00:49:01,280 --> 00:49:07,680
Empoli increased their press so much and they just pressed and attacked and pressed and attacked and

543
00:49:07,680 --> 00:49:13,280
Inter just couldn't cope with that so from then on as soon as that happened Inter had the game lost

544
00:49:13,280 --> 00:49:20,400
pretty much yes man Empoli's first victory against Inter since 2006 and their first back-to-back

545
00:49:20,400 --> 00:49:28,240
victory since December 2021 a very hard fought battle I couldn't help but notice that

546
00:49:28,240 --> 00:49:35,440
Inter seemed to be missing a technical leader in this team you know a reference point and I feel like

547
00:49:35,440 --> 00:49:42,800
that was cured essentially when Zerko came on I think Zerko up front is their technical leader

548
00:49:42,800 --> 00:49:48,800
I feel like he brings them confidence I feel like he is a reference point for them and they can play

549
00:49:48,800 --> 00:49:54,560
through him and rely on him to hold up the play to finish off chances to to do everything to be honest

550
00:49:54,560 --> 00:49:59,840
I really think that when he came on they looked sharper and they got the majority of their chances

551
00:49:59,840 --> 00:50:04,400
towards the end of the game yes the statistic here to show you how dominant Empoli were they were at

552
00:50:04,400 --> 00:50:09,200
51 percent ball possession okay not dominant but they had eight shots on target to Inter's one shot on target

553
00:50:09,200 --> 00:50:15,440
yeah and you know Inter did have 16 shots but the majority of those came when they were trying to

554
00:50:15,440 --> 00:50:21,200
find that equalizer and towards the end when they had those three strikers up front as well man in

555
00:50:21,200 --> 00:50:28,320
Lukaku, Lautaro and Zerko out of those Zerko looks decent to be honest Lautaro's shooting boots are

556
00:50:28,320 --> 00:50:34,800
off simply so often and he goes through this once a season and sometimes twice a season but otherwise

557
00:50:34,800 --> 00:50:41,600
he's a fantastic striker Lukaku is I mean he still hasn't recovered absolutely still hasn't recovered

558
00:50:41,600 --> 00:50:50,000
and yeah so like he says too nervous bro but Barella needs to take a chill pill sometimes I feel

559
00:50:50,000 --> 00:50:57,200
he's always clustered he's always flustered and and at a point I remember looking at when I was

560
00:50:57,200 --> 00:51:04,720
watching his game looking at the tv Barella screaming, no glutes flailing his arms around

561
00:51:04,720 --> 00:51:13,520
and in Zaghi in Zaghi the like be cool bro like be cool the guy is screaming he has veins popping

562
00:51:13,520 --> 00:51:18,800
out his hair is a fucking mess the guy doesn't give a shit what he looks like when he's upset he

563
00:51:18,800 --> 00:51:25,120
looks mental bro he looks minted you know when you get really angry and like your teeth come out and

564
00:51:25,120 --> 00:51:32,480
your nose is like your nose crunches up and you look ridiculous that's in Zaghi all the time like

565
00:51:32,480 --> 00:51:39,840
plus bro he's like one of those slim guys at the double chin thing it's like no matter no matter what

566
00:51:39,840 --> 00:51:51,120
he does it's gonna be there like you can chew all the gummy but when inter are faced with a top

567
00:51:51,120 --> 00:51:59,520
situation when they're one down down to ten men they should use that anger to channel them and to

568
00:51:59,520 --> 00:52:05,760
to use it as motivation but they just seem to get flustered man and it's kind of all over the place

569
00:52:05,760 --> 00:52:12,160
when they get to that level yes bro um for me DeMarco remains an amazing player I'm really

570
00:52:12,960 --> 00:52:16,960
envious of inter that they have DeMarco thankfully Milan have Theo Hernandez that I can

571
00:52:17,600 --> 00:52:25,280
you know that I it's not too bad because it's Theo but anyway um yes bro inter really really

572
00:52:25,280 --> 00:52:30,640
really missed an opportunity over here to capitalize on Milan's terrible form as they seem to

573
00:52:30,640 --> 00:52:38,640
dip back into a little bit of a spell themselves yeah they currently sit in fourth with 37 points

574
00:52:38,640 --> 00:52:45,680
while Empoli have climbed to ninth with 25 points leapfrogging Juventus before we move on I just

575
00:52:45,680 --> 00:52:52,960
want to highlight a few of the Empoli players um Satriano a couple of weeks ago I said I'm not

576
00:52:52,960 --> 00:52:57,440
too sure what this guy is good at what he is good at is being a very mature striker

577
00:52:57,440 --> 00:53:01,600
and he's great with his back towards goal he's great at holding up play when Empoli were one

578
00:53:01,600 --> 00:53:08,080
nil up he did a fantastic job at that I have to give a shout out as well to the goal scorer

579
00:53:08,080 --> 00:53:14,240
in Baldanzi he came on and he was fucking magical and absolutely brilliant performance by him and

580
00:53:14,240 --> 00:53:25,280
that does that back four that back four of Empoli is so young and so talented Ebwe, De Winter,

581
00:53:25,280 --> 00:53:32,800
Luperto and Parisi that is a very very very good back four and I'm super impressed by De Winter

582
00:53:32,800 --> 00:53:38,000
I hadn't seen that much of him he's 20 years old he had a fantastic performance and if they

583
00:53:38,000 --> 00:53:44,640
break if they break through those there's Vicarion on goal plus not to mention that in this game

584
00:53:44,640 --> 00:53:52,400
Empoli were missing Marin yeah their metronome their guy and they started with Akpra Akpro

585
00:53:52,400 --> 00:53:57,280
Henderson and Bandinelli in the midfield and still they were capable of doing that against Inter

586
00:53:57,280 --> 00:54:01,760
says a lot about Inter's performance but it definitely says a lot about Empoli and the team

587
00:54:01,760 --> 00:54:06,720
that formed over here yes bro I really like the way they attacked I really like the way Henderson

588
00:54:06,720 --> 00:54:11,280
moved into the channel Caputo drifted out wide and Kambiaghi attacked from the right hand side

589
00:54:11,280 --> 00:54:15,600
it was amazing they play some very good football we've been raving about Zanetti since his

590
00:54:15,600 --> 00:54:19,200
Venezia days where he had the worst squad but they were playing attractive football without the

591
00:54:19,200 --> 00:54:24,640
results thankfully now he has found the team and the place where he can develop and you know

592
00:54:25,280 --> 00:54:31,200
play the football that he wants to play last year my second favorite team in Serie A was Sassuolo

593
00:54:31,200 --> 00:54:38,480
when it came to play style and the year before that it was Hellas Verona that was my favorite

594
00:54:38,480 --> 00:54:45,120
my second favorite team in Serie A this year it's Empoli yeah 100% they're sick bro they play really

595
00:54:45,120 --> 00:54:53,200
well moving on to the next game guys it's Spezia nil Roma 2 so Spezia lined up in a 3-4-2-1 with

596
00:54:53,200 --> 00:54:59,120
Dragovskiingol the backline of Amian Caldara and Hristov Reckout on the left homeout on the right

597
00:54:59,120 --> 00:55:06,480
with Ampadu and Borabi and the midfield Giassi and Verde on the left and right and Agudelo up front

598
00:55:06,480 --> 00:55:12,320
for Roma it was Rupertis in goal with a backline of Mancini, Smalling and Ibanez

599
00:55:12,320 --> 00:55:17,760
Celic out on the right, Zalewski out on the left midfield two of Cristante and Matej

600
00:55:18,480 --> 00:55:25,440
scary with Debala and El-Sharawi behind Tammy Abraham I don't mean scary in a talented sense

601
00:55:25,440 --> 00:55:31,520
but I mean scary from a physical aspect those two like I would not want to step on their shoes at

602
00:55:31,520 --> 00:55:37,600
footloose let's just put it that way in the 45th minute just as the first half was coming to an

603
00:55:37,600 --> 00:55:43,120
end El-Sharawi played Debala through who returned the favor by squaring the ball to the Egyptian who

604
00:55:43,120 --> 00:55:49,200
finished into an empty net making it 1-0 this is Debala's world and we're all just living in it

605
00:55:49,200 --> 00:55:56,320
at the restart and end of the 49th minute Debala once again assisted to Tammy Abraham so Abraham

606
00:55:56,320 --> 00:56:01,680
received the ball from Debala but still had so much to do he used his turn of pace very well placed

607
00:56:01,680 --> 00:56:06,480
the ball between the legs of the last defender before finishing through the legs of Dragovski

608
00:56:06,480 --> 00:56:15,040
what a goal by Tammy my first question is is he back? Yes he is back slowly slowly he started to

609
00:56:15,040 --> 00:56:19,360
build up his confidence you know his footwork has looked really tidy for a man who's six foot five

610
00:56:20,480 --> 00:56:24,080
he looks way more confident and way sharper in front and goal Debala sticking and they're linking

611
00:56:24,080 --> 00:56:32,000
up nicely I do think that Tammy Abraham is back. Does Tammy owe this success to Debala? Tammy owes

612
00:56:32,000 --> 00:56:37,760
this success to Syria spotlight for publicly humiliating him on TikTok with a video that got

613
00:56:37,760 --> 00:56:44,720
927 000 views saying that if Tammy Abraham had shot John Lennon, John Lennon would have been 85

614
00:56:44,720 --> 00:56:52,160
today. I can't believe that we have 99.9k likes on that video we haven't hit a hundred so we've hit

615
00:56:52,160 --> 00:57:00,560
a million views on one of our videos on Instagram of Kim Minjae but we've never hit 100k likes

616
00:57:00,560 --> 00:57:08,080
the most that we have on TikTok is this video with 99.9k we need to do something do us a favor guys

617
00:57:08,080 --> 00:57:15,200
head over to our TikTok and spam that like button send it to your friends send it to Tammy send it

618
00:57:15,200 --> 00:57:21,600
to anyone you know and help us get to 100k. Tammy was like I don't even like the Beatles

619
00:57:22,960 --> 00:57:27,920
you know he starts fucking lifting weights juggling close fucking you have to you have

620
00:57:27,920 --> 00:57:34,720
to hand it to Tammy because you see so many Mourinho victims they call them Mourinho victims

621
00:57:34,720 --> 00:57:43,360
right that just don't manage to pick it up and have their confidence bruised and their ego hurt

622
00:57:43,360 --> 00:57:49,200
by what Mourinho says about them to the public what he says to them face to face and they just

623
00:57:49,200 --> 00:57:56,320
fall off for example Casillas and and this goes on and on Casillas might be one of the more vanilla

624
00:57:56,320 --> 00:58:04,080
examples I can give him but Tammy he was Luke Shaw but he fucking he he did the same thing

625
00:58:04,080 --> 00:58:11,040
as Tammy they work their socks off they get back and they become great again this is what Tammy is

626
00:58:11,040 --> 00:58:16,720
doing that's what Luke Shaw did and credit to Tammy man credit to Tammy Englishman and say yeah

627
00:58:16,720 --> 00:58:21,120
Mourinho giving him shit talking about him to the public and he just gets back and he's he's

628
00:58:21,120 --> 00:58:29,040
fucking ticking now man yeah and apparently they might be getting um Riyad Mares. Roma might be

629
00:58:29,040 --> 00:58:34,240
getting no sorry not Mares it was Ziak Hakim Ziak they might be getting Ziak and that would be

630
00:58:34,240 --> 00:58:38,720
amazing for Roma and wouldn't that be the most Milan thing to buy Zaniolo for 25 million and to

631
00:58:38,720 --> 00:58:45,120
let Ziak go for like 12 million to Roma I mean I wonder which I prefer they're both very injury

632
00:58:45,120 --> 00:58:49,680
prone the difference is one is much younger than the other hell take Zaniolo man to be honest

633
00:58:50,720 --> 00:58:57,680
I think I might prefer Ziak here just because he's you know the Ziak is so us here he's he's so

634
00:58:57,680 --> 00:59:02,800
technically gifted he'd be one of the one of the best players in league yeah he has like

635
00:59:02,800 --> 00:59:09,040
Di Maria style of play really close ball control very skillful his touch and his pass is ridiculous

636
00:59:09,040 --> 00:59:16,880
imagine the ball's over the top to lay out on the other side but um yes bro Roma once again a very

637
00:59:16,880 --> 00:59:22,400
mature display over here destroying Spezia. Spezia are not having a fun time especially at the BACA

638
00:59:22,400 --> 00:59:29,520
because they have just sold Kiwi or the Polish international for 21 million pounds to Arsenal

639
00:59:29,520 --> 00:59:35,520
Serie A losing another gem along with another one to add to the symmetry quite frankly of Papu Gomes

640
00:59:35,520 --> 00:59:40,160
Rodrigo de Paul, Seco Fofana, Aaron Hickey, Tommy Aso these guys were all poached for relatively

641
00:59:40,160 --> 00:59:46,720
cheap and they were yeah very good in Serie A and during this game Christophe went down injured as

642
00:59:46,720 --> 00:59:50,480
well so they've just lost two centre backs and for a team that plays with three at the back that's

643
00:59:50,480 --> 00:59:55,680
going to be very tough for them going forward solutions are definitely going to be necessary

644
00:59:56,240 --> 01:00:02,000
yeah I mean we spoke about this last time as well Spezia do look very improved they look like a unit

645
01:00:02,000 --> 01:00:08,160
we called them a pack of wolves and we started howling in the last episode they still are exactly

646
01:00:08,160 --> 01:00:12,960
that is just they have a tough couple of fixtures now so obviously they just played Atalanta and

647
01:00:12,960 --> 01:00:19,200
the Coppa and now they play Roma now they play Bologna and then Napoli then after Empoli they

648
01:00:19,200 --> 01:00:24,160
have Juve and then they have Odinese so obviously quite a tough time for Spezia and with all those

649
01:00:24,160 --> 01:00:31,440
injuries it's going to be very very difficult to see them make make it out of there alive and with

650
01:00:31,440 --> 01:00:37,600
you know Verona winning all these matches with Sampdoria finding some form again it's very very

651
01:00:37,600 --> 01:00:43,280
interesting to see what can happen over here we're starting to see Verona bridge the gap between

652
01:00:43,280 --> 01:00:49,280
Sassuolo Salernitana and Spezia more and more as time goes on man so that relegation battle is

653
01:00:49,280 --> 01:00:55,200
about to get juicy it's true bro they did miss Enzoal at this game as well oh it has to be said

654
01:00:55,600 --> 01:01:03,120
it has to be said they currently sit Spezia in 15th with 18 points while Roma are in 5th with

655
01:01:03,120 --> 01:01:10,160
37 points as they continue their great start to 2023 shout out to Cesco respect Cesc

656
01:01:10,160 --> 01:01:17,600
the next game we're going to be covering is Sampdoria nil Odinese 1 Sampdoria lined up with their

657
01:01:17,600 --> 01:01:25,520
3412 formation with Emil Laudero in goal Bram Nuitink Omar Colli and Amione at the back I don't

658
01:01:25,520 --> 01:01:30,400
know Amione's first name Augelo was on the left Neris was on the right Jiricic and Winx were in

659
01:01:30,400 --> 01:01:36,000
the middle with Sabiri in the Jack Ortiz Sarote Lammers and Gabbiadini up front Odinese played a

660
01:01:36,000 --> 01:01:42,480
3-5-2 formation with Silvestri in goal Becow Bijole and Perez at the back Ezebuy

661
01:01:46,480 --> 01:01:55,120
you can do it you can do it Ezebuy on the right yeah Udojgu on the left Arslan Wallace and Samardzic

662
01:01:55,120 --> 01:02:01,360
in the middle with Beto and Isaac Sincces up front wait till you see who scored bro I know bro

663
01:02:01,360 --> 01:02:10,240
I know so in the ninth minute the jury skimmed the post clean through on goal so unlucky for him

664
01:02:10,240 --> 01:02:15,440
in the 60th minute Ronaldo Viera didn't play like Ronaldo he didn't play like Viera his guy had a

665
01:02:15,440 --> 01:02:20,080
great opportunity with the ball on the bounce totally unmarked just in front of the keeper it

666
01:02:20,080 --> 01:02:25,120
has to be highlighted that this guy has been one of the reasons that Sampdoria haven't been getting

667
01:02:25,120 --> 01:02:31,920
any points because he has been terrible yeah terrible he's been really bad poor guy in the 88th

668
01:02:31,920 --> 01:02:39,440
minute the winner came forward with Odinese through Ezebuy it was scrappy but Ezebuy turned the ball

669
01:02:39,440 --> 01:02:45,440
and after Sampdoria's defense failed to deal with a one sloped pass this was Ezebuy's first goal in

670
01:02:45,440 --> 01:02:53,120
Serie A congratulations Ezebuy yes congratulations um Sampdoria I like the way they've been playing

671
01:02:53,120 --> 01:02:59,040
I like them under Stankovic I like the way they've been playing they're looking much much better than

672
01:02:59,040 --> 01:03:05,200
they were they looked disastrous but now they have a bit of identity they have a bit of groove I

673
01:03:05,200 --> 01:03:11,440
really like the signings they made I'm just gonna say that again and at least now Stankovic has a

674
01:03:11,440 --> 01:03:18,480
more curated squad to deal with a squad that is more to his likings we also saw Harry Winks coming

675
01:03:18,480 --> 01:03:24,640
back into the team and playing a little bit so Stankovic has something to work with now they're

676
01:03:24,640 --> 01:03:29,440
still not in a great position they still need to pick up points and they have to start doing it now

677
01:03:29,440 --> 01:03:34,800
but it's looking way more promising than it was before yeah it is and ironically enough they've

678
01:03:34,800 --> 01:03:39,680
never been this close to last place they're on nine points Cremona is around eight points in last

679
01:03:41,120 --> 01:03:48,160
to escape the relegation pool they would have to jump Sasuolova on 17 points not impossible but

680
01:03:48,160 --> 01:03:55,520
definitely gonna be a tough ask for Stankovic and his men but as you said many pros about this team

681
01:03:55,520 --> 01:03:59,440
they are playing fluid football and they are unlucky not to get the point over here

682
01:04:00,480 --> 01:04:06,080
can I just say they play Atalanta next they play Monza after that they play Inter after that they

683
01:04:06,080 --> 01:04:12,080
play Bologna after that they play Lazio after that then after they play Salernetano they play Juve

684
01:04:12,080 --> 01:04:17,840
then after they play Verona they play Roma so it doesn't look like they're gonna be racking up

685
01:04:17,840 --> 01:04:22,320
points anytime soon they'll have to get a couple of upsets to do that but you know they might play

686
01:04:22,320 --> 01:04:29,280
up to the occasion you know to let the counter or something but we'll definitely see they dominated

687
01:04:29,280 --> 01:04:34,640
this game when it comes to possession they have 54 percent possession against Udineza granted Udineza

688
01:04:34,640 --> 01:04:41,920
had they outshot them you know 14 shots to 9 Udineza had five shots on target Sampdoria only had one

689
01:04:41,920 --> 01:04:47,360
on target um interesting earlier this season Udineza were killing everyone in front of them

690
01:04:47,360 --> 01:04:52,080
right we highlighted their unity their humility their relentlessness and their main strength

691
01:04:53,120 --> 01:04:58,880
that didn't last very long as the results seemed to stop going their way and players seemed to

692
01:04:58,880 --> 01:05:03,360
start and get they seem to start getting frustrated no a lot of flailing around we often speak about

693
01:05:03,360 --> 01:05:11,760
this their best players um not being team players quite frankly and now it seems that Deo Lefeo has

694
01:05:11,760 --> 01:05:18,160
been transfer listed um or is being sold rather i don't know if that's still the case as he

695
01:05:19,280 --> 01:05:24,640
was brought on towards the end of this game and went off into the due because he was injured yes

696
01:05:24,640 --> 01:05:31,120
they typically when a player is being rumored to move teams don't play him to protect him so he

697
01:05:31,120 --> 01:05:35,840
doesn't fall injured so they brought him on in the last 15 minutes to prove it to avoid a potential

698
01:05:35,840 --> 01:05:44,000
injury and still managed to get injured so um they also sold a leader in Bram Noythink i'm sure

699
01:05:44,000 --> 01:05:47,760
he's a figure that he wouldn't want to lose yeah in the locker room played against them in this

700
01:05:47,760 --> 01:05:53,760
match with Sampdoria and Pereira didn't even play this game where's he been where's he been

701
01:05:53,760 --> 01:05:59,120
but it's good to see that they managed to get a victory without three main guys yeah i mean it had

702
01:05:59,120 --> 01:06:04,880
it had been a while since their last victory um let me just see when that was because it feels

703
01:06:04,880 --> 01:06:10,320
like it has been ages like they had been on 25 points for a while so they had lost to Bologna

704
01:06:10,320 --> 01:06:18,400
they had lost to Juventus they drew to Empoli last time they won was on the 29th of December

705
01:06:18,400 --> 01:06:24,240
away to Cremona there holy quacker dog yeah so in the new year they hadn't gotten three points as

706
01:06:24,240 --> 01:06:28,880
soon as the first three points they play Verona next to Orino after that's a swallow after that

707
01:06:28,880 --> 01:06:33,200
so hopefully they can start picking up the momentum again yes they currently sit in a

708
01:06:33,200 --> 01:06:37,600
conference league spot out in Eze so they're still not doing too badly like european football is

709
01:06:37,600 --> 01:06:46,400
still on the cards for them um 28 points in seventh while Sampdoria are still struggling 19

710
01:06:46,400 --> 01:06:52,400
points 19th place with nine points the next game we're going to be covering is Fiorentina nil

711
01:06:52,400 --> 01:07:00,160
Torino one it was Torino's first win ever at the Stadio Artemio Franci so Fiorentina lined up in a

712
01:07:00,160 --> 01:07:05,200
four two three one formation with Terra Ciano on goal Biragi on the left Venuti on the right with

713
01:07:05,200 --> 01:07:11,520
Milenkovich and Igor as the two centre backs Duncan and Amrabat in the double pivot with Saponara

714
01:07:11,520 --> 01:07:16,800
out wide and Saponara and Decona out wide rather Bonaventura and the Jack Wartister role with

715
01:07:16,800 --> 01:07:22,800
Kwame up front for Torino it was a three four to one formation with Vania on goal a back line of

716
01:07:22,800 --> 01:07:29,280
Gigi Bonjorno and Rodriguez, Singo on the right, Voivoda on the left Ricci and Adopo in the

717
01:07:29,280 --> 01:07:37,680
midfield, Sec up front being flanked by Mironcuk and Vlasic so in the 21st minute Sec smashed the

718
01:07:37,680 --> 01:07:42,160
crossbar from a tough angle he did really well to even get the shot away as he was surrounded in

719
01:07:42,160 --> 01:07:47,600
purple shirts it's quite refreshing seeing such an active striker like that playing for Torino and

720
01:07:47,600 --> 01:07:51,680
he's a right winger he's a right winger he's a mid-shift striker for them he did really well

721
01:07:51,680 --> 01:07:55,200
this game he had a good game he had a good game it's interesting to see if he'll start getting

722
01:07:55,200 --> 01:08:01,120
goals now in the 29th minute there was a brilliant save by Vania on Kwame at the near post the keeper

723
01:08:01,120 --> 01:08:08,000
got down so well to deny Kwame on the half volley in the 33rd minute Torino managed to make it

724
01:08:08,000 --> 01:08:13,040
one little through Mironcuk who curled the ball into the far net from just inside the area it was

725
01:08:13,040 --> 01:08:18,480
found very cleverly by Voivoda but both players were given way too much space by Fiorentina

726
01:08:18,480 --> 01:08:25,280
yeah and it was Amrabat who played a long ball that was intercepted by Voivoda a very very very

727
01:08:25,280 --> 01:08:31,920
rare mistake by Amrabat who had a bit of a shocker in his head yeah correct in the 89th minute with

728
01:08:31,920 --> 01:08:37,600
Vania grounded after denying Kwame Jović had to finish the ball into an empty net but Zima

729
01:08:37,600 --> 01:08:43,840
produced a heroic toe poke challenge to deny him the opportunity brilliant and resilient defending

730
01:08:43,840 --> 01:08:47,680
by the check the game would have gone totally differently if it weren't for him in that

731
01:08:47,680 --> 01:08:53,760
situation and then in the 91st minute Vania denied Barak with a leg save in the final moments of the

732
01:08:53,760 --> 01:09:01,760
match with another spectacular save by him Torino fought hard to maintain this one nil victory did

733
01:09:01,760 --> 01:09:15,280
they deserve it bro? Did they deserve it? Um yes I would say they did deserve it um Fiorentina were

734
01:09:15,280 --> 01:09:19,680
unlucky not to get a point from this um if those if that Barak opportunity had gone in you know

735
01:09:20,560 --> 01:09:24,800
if it had been a completely different story and they did concede because of an individual

736
01:09:24,800 --> 01:09:29,920
mistake at the end of the day but yes I feel like many of Fiorentina's players didn't show up

737
01:09:30,560 --> 01:09:38,240
whereas Torino played as a solid unit they were compact they suffered well together as a team

738
01:09:38,240 --> 01:09:41,920
they took their chances they created you know they had a makeshift striker who looked really

739
01:09:41,920 --> 01:09:47,440
good over there um and I think they they got the job done very maturely because if you look at this

740
01:09:47,440 --> 01:09:53,360
this Fiorentina team the the standout terrible performers for me were Ikona and Saponara were

741
01:09:53,360 --> 01:09:59,600
both ass yeah anytime Ikona was noticeable in this game he was doing something wrong

742
01:09:59,600 --> 01:10:06,640
and Saponara was a little bit flustered as well he wasn't his usual self um Um Rabat when things

743
01:10:06,640 --> 01:10:10,720
aren't ticking for Um Rabat things aren't ticking for Fiorentina it's as simple as that

744
01:10:10,720 --> 01:10:16,800
and Milenkovic is always a step behind everyone nowadays yeah Milenkovic to be honest his decline

745
01:10:16,800 --> 01:10:22,480
has been very very prominent he was such a good defender for so many years being linked with

746
01:10:22,480 --> 01:10:28,640
Inter Juve Milan Roma the lot and whatever since then while he had he had a shocking World Cup and

747
01:10:28,640 --> 01:10:34,240
he's having a shocking season this year as well I would agree with you I would say that despite

748
01:10:34,240 --> 01:10:38,720
the stats Torino did deserve to get away with the victory because they had the more mature

749
01:10:38,720 --> 01:10:44,880
display they weren't rushing play but they were choosing their opportunities and when they were

750
01:10:44,880 --> 01:10:50,560
choosing the opportunities they attacked pretty well now Fiorentina had 62 percent ball possession

751
01:10:50,560 --> 01:10:56,640
they had 19 shots and five of them were on target but you can't look at the hustle that Torino went

752
01:10:56,640 --> 01:11:00,960
through and say that they didn't deserve the three points over there maybe a draw would have been a

753
01:11:00,960 --> 01:11:08,400
more accurate um result for the performances that went in but to me Torino should be happy

754
01:11:08,400 --> 01:11:12,720
with the three points and I think they're well deserved the man I felt very bad for on this

755
01:11:12,720 --> 01:11:19,040
Fiorentina team was um Jacobo Naventura who looked to do his absolute best to inspire his teammates

756
01:11:19,040 --> 01:11:25,440
he had a nosebleed what felt like the entirety of the first half and just kept fucking coming undone

757
01:11:25,440 --> 01:11:30,080
and blood whatever was really messy like and he would he was shouting at the opposition shouting

758
01:11:30,080 --> 01:11:35,200
at his teammates screaming in the referee's face just trying to rile a few of his teammates up but

759
01:11:35,200 --> 01:11:43,600
they seemed to be indifferent now bro I don't think that this is a tactical issue that Fiorentina have

760
01:11:43,600 --> 01:11:49,120
I wouldn't blame Italiano for these results and for the underachieving because Italiano is creating

761
01:11:49,120 --> 01:11:56,320
an environment where these players are put in positions where they can score it isn't his fault

762
01:11:56,320 --> 01:12:02,000
however it is his job to motivate this group of players he has a deep relatively deep squad

763
01:12:02,000 --> 01:12:08,160
um apart from the defense maybe and I feel like you know he needs to get them going you can't have

764
01:12:08,160 --> 01:12:13,200
the likes of Jovic not performing for example you have to do something about that you can't have

765
01:12:13,200 --> 01:12:18,880
Umraban dropping a game like this you know a guy who's rated so highly right now I have to keep him

766
01:12:18,880 --> 01:12:23,840
make sure he plays well you know so if you sell him at least you get the 50 million no exactly

767
01:12:23,840 --> 01:12:30,320
exactly yeah it it just feels like when I watch Fiorentina this season it's like 11 superstars

768
01:12:30,320 --> 01:12:35,840
that have never played together before that's the way I see it to be honest even you know

769
01:12:35,840 --> 01:12:41,360
they have such a wide variety of players but seems like they haven't recovered since losing

770
01:12:41,360 --> 01:12:49,360
Vlachovic and they replace him with Luka Jovic um who on paper has a great signing for them

771
01:12:49,360 --> 01:12:53,760
but he still hasn't picked it up and if they don't have the finishing touch then they don't

772
01:12:53,760 --> 01:12:57,680
have anything then what what the hell are they playing for it's obviously not all down to him

773
01:12:57,680 --> 01:13:03,520
the chemistry of the team seems a little bit off the creativity of the team seems a little bit off

774
01:13:04,240 --> 01:13:10,960
it's not even it's the execution it's the final bit especially because Jovic and Barak both had

775
01:13:10,960 --> 01:13:16,160
opportunities this game to to get something out of it and they both fumbled it you know granted

776
01:13:16,160 --> 01:13:21,600
Vanya is a god a god he's the the character from the barbarian that lives in the basement

777
01:13:21,600 --> 01:13:29,680
he's a beast dude he's a beast he's a monster he's a monster but yeah not Fiorentina's day perhaps

778
01:13:29,680 --> 01:13:37,440
not Fiorentina's season either as they currently sit in 11th 23 points while Torino sit in eighth

779
01:13:37,440 --> 01:13:47,520
with 26 points correct the next game we're going to be covering is Bologna 1 Cremonesa 1 Cremonesa

780
01:13:47,520 --> 01:13:53,760
had just come off we haven't even spoken about this yet bro the penalty with victory the victory

781
01:13:53,760 --> 01:14:01,280
penalties against Napoli Cremonesa knocked Napoli out of the Coppa Italia which is a very frightening

782
01:14:01,280 --> 01:14:09,040
thing for Inter Milan fans who are still hoping for a league fight you know because at the end of

783
01:14:09,040 --> 01:14:13,680
the day there's one less competition for Napoli to to play it we're counting Inter and Milan

784
01:14:13,680 --> 01:14:20,000
we can count Roma we can count Lazio we can count Atalanta everyone's in for the title race now guys

785
01:14:21,440 --> 01:14:28,320
but yes um Cremonesa under Ballardini played a very mature game against Napoli who perhaps

786
01:14:28,320 --> 01:14:32,240
underestimated their opponent of course that's the thing with the Coppa Italia the big teams rest

787
01:14:32,240 --> 01:14:38,000
players the small teams come with their big names um Napoli brought on their best players towards

788
01:14:38,000 --> 01:14:42,400
Inter try together but Cremonesa remained compact they have three veteran defenders at the back

789
01:14:42,400 --> 01:14:50,800
over there and they have a coach who is amazing at defensive tactics you know Ballardini when it

790
01:14:50,800 --> 01:14:56,800
comes to setting up a 3-5-2 block five on the back when defending you know that field comes in deep

791
01:14:57,360 --> 01:15:02,560
he's a god at that ball he's he's very well suited for the Cremonesa team because what they needed

792
01:15:02,560 --> 01:15:08,560
is a little bit more stability to go with their to go their performances keep their shape because

793
01:15:08,560 --> 01:15:13,600
they often get caught on the counter attack i think it'd be a good fit for them yeah and in fact this

794
01:15:13,600 --> 01:15:18,880
game they lined up with a 3-5-2 formation with the three veterans at the back they had Karneceky in

795
01:15:18,880 --> 01:15:23,520
goal of course amazing goalkeeper Ferrari, Kirikas and Vasquez now these guys have been around the

796
01:15:23,520 --> 01:15:28,240
block you know we have Ferrari ex Sampdoria, Kirikas ex Sassuolo, Vasquez ex Genni these guys

797
01:15:28,240 --> 01:15:32,800
all have Serie A experience you know ball bro thanks bro you have Ser Nikola on the right and

798
01:15:32,800 --> 01:15:37,680
Valeri on the left Valeri scored the winning penalty against Napoli and demonstrated his high

799
01:15:37,680 --> 01:15:43,120
levels of testosterone. Maitek, Castagnetti and Piquel were in the middle, Okerreque and

800
01:15:43,120 --> 01:15:49,280
Cioffani played up front for Bologna it was a 4-3-3 formation with Skorupski in goal, Liko Canis

801
01:15:49,280 --> 01:15:55,200
at left back, Posch at right back, Lukumi and Sao Mauro as the centre back duo, Dominguez, Mauro

802
01:15:55,200 --> 01:16:01,200
and Ferguson in the middle with Barrow on the left, Orsalini on the right and Satriano no Seriano

803
01:16:01,200 --> 01:16:10,160
up front sorry he run yes of course with Arnautovic still injured now what happened in the 48th minute

804
01:16:10,160 --> 01:16:16,160
far quarter silly handball by Dominguez it really was a silly handball yeah now how many of these

805
01:16:16,160 --> 01:16:21,840
silly handballs do we have to see in Serie A all these penalties being given away by silly handballs

806
01:16:21,840 --> 01:16:28,000
he looked like he was creeping away with his arms here in at Erex position and the ball struck his

807
01:16:28,000 --> 01:16:33,600
hand what was that you remember that that video the lonely island of do the creep yeah exactly

808
01:16:36,800 --> 01:16:45,120
when you out there and you see a flag girl do the creep oh but yes um it was a silly handball by

809
01:16:45,120 --> 01:16:51,040
Dominguez and the penalty was awarded to Cremonesa and it was converted by Okerreque who went down

810
01:16:51,040 --> 01:16:56,480
the middle and didn't do his chin celebration by the way he didn't do the finger wag he just did

811
01:16:56,480 --> 01:17:01,120
a strange dance with his teammates around him super disappointing but it's good to see the whole

812
01:17:01,120 --> 01:17:05,280
Cremonaise team getting involved in a little bit of a dance they won't be doing much of it this

813
01:17:05,280 --> 01:17:12,400
season so good to see them get the opportunity there fucking right and the 54th minute classic

814
01:17:12,400 --> 01:17:16,960
Vlad Kiriakas over here now you know those of you who have been listening since season one know that

815
01:17:16,960 --> 01:17:22,960
i'm not a big fan of Vladimir Kiriakas despite his veteran status he scored an own goal and the 54th

816
01:17:22,960 --> 01:17:29,360
minute as Karnasek he produced a brilliant save but the ball was left in play Ferrari tried to

817
01:17:29,360 --> 01:17:34,240
clear but only managed to hit the ball after Kiriakas and it deflected into his own net

818
01:17:35,120 --> 01:17:44,160
unlucky but comical yeah comical to say the least those two have notoriously aged badly

819
01:17:44,880 --> 01:17:50,560
Ferrari and and Vlad Kiriakas but but yeah well what could you do about that it's it's very very

820
01:17:50,560 --> 01:17:58,960
unlucky yes guys do not confuse Ferrari with Sassuolo's Ferrari of course this is a different

821
01:17:58,960 --> 01:18:09,600
Ferrari X Sampdoria they should both be called Fiat at this point excellent thank you but yes bro

822
01:18:09,600 --> 01:18:13,520
um in the 88th minute there was a brilliant save by Karnasek yet again but the ball

823
01:18:13,520 --> 01:18:21,840
me say it but the ball once again hit the fucking fridge that is Vlad which had Kiriakas

824
01:18:21,840 --> 01:18:27,760
but this time Ferrari managed to clear it off the line now this ball was rolling into the net and

825
01:18:27,760 --> 01:18:32,560
you can see from Kiriakas space he was like oh my god another one you could you could see his

826
01:18:32,560 --> 01:18:38,800
expression you could see this disappointment taking over him completely as he was about to

827
01:18:38,800 --> 01:18:44,240
score his second own goal to give Kramaneze zero points but thankfully it was cleared off the line

828
01:18:44,240 --> 01:18:49,360
by Ferrari and Kramaneze get away with one point at the edge closer to Sampdoria in 19.

829
01:18:49,360 --> 01:18:54,800
All Kiriakas needs to do to avoid these two situations that led to the own goal obviously

830
01:18:54,800 --> 01:18:58,640
they're not easy I'm gonna stand here and say that I wouldn't have scored own goals over there I

831
01:18:58,640 --> 01:19:04,160
probably would have scored three own goals in this match but be on your toes and be careful

832
01:19:04,160 --> 01:19:08,720
coming to you at any moment that's what you have to do the fact that the ball is capable of just

833
01:19:08,720 --> 01:19:14,400
hitting him and going goal words when he's in the box as the last defender is very very dangerous

834
01:19:14,400 --> 01:19:19,600
for Kramaneze. It really is bro it really is they've got a few rare prom players at the back and

835
01:19:19,600 --> 01:19:28,240
mistakes have not been rare now when it comes to Bologna our friend Luca who supports Bologna is

836
01:19:28,240 --> 01:19:36,080
quite disappointed he sent us a question and said the following one second fan point of view

837
01:19:36,080 --> 01:19:41,760
Bologna got three points in three home games with the last three teams in the table lost against

838
01:19:41,760 --> 01:19:46,720
Empoli at home drew against Salernitana and we are still only five points away from seventh place

839
01:19:46,720 --> 01:19:54,640
can you understand the frustration yes if they had racked up all the points and scored a goal

840
01:19:54,640 --> 01:20:01,360
against Bologna, if they had racked up a few more points their position in the table would actually

841
01:20:01,360 --> 01:20:08,640
be quite impressive and you know then they'd have a shot at maybe these european places in theory

842
01:20:08,640 --> 01:20:17,920
yeah I mean it's football and particularly this area is very unpredictable you can go on a run

843
01:20:17,920 --> 01:20:23,760
beating the top teams and then you can go on a run losing and drawing to smaller teams that's what

844
01:20:23,760 --> 01:20:30,400
Bologna are going through I think it shows what a difference maker Arnautovic is because since

845
01:20:30,400 --> 01:20:36,080
they've lost Arnautovic they've been on a bit of a dry spell it's not only the fact that he can

846
01:20:36,080 --> 01:20:42,160
score goals but it's his leadership Zlatanesk mentality that he brings to the team and everyone

847
01:20:42,160 --> 01:20:47,520
plays to get the ball to Arnautovic it's very different having him up front to having Soriano

848
01:20:47,520 --> 01:20:52,800
up front and I think that is a massive component as to why they're struggling right now definitely

849
01:20:52,800 --> 01:20:58,800
bro the thing I wonder is without Mihailović there the very popular loved character that was

850
01:20:58,800 --> 01:21:04,400
Sinisa Mihailović do Bologna still have the pull power do they still attract certain players?

851
01:21:05,920 --> 01:21:12,080
Not as much as they used to I think however I feel like Mata has quite a pull as well

852
01:21:12,720 --> 01:21:18,960
because especially for young players that want to grow in Serie A they must idolize Mata someone

853
01:21:18,960 --> 01:21:23,120
that learned from Jose Mourinho someone that was part of the treble winning team someone that is

854
01:21:23,120 --> 01:21:32,720
trying to re-identify the game of football because like back in his youth PSG days he was notorious

855
01:21:32,720 --> 01:21:38,880
for trying out some absurd formations and swapping player positions and swapping player roles and to

856
01:21:38,880 --> 01:21:45,040
me this is the start of Mata's career as a manager I think he's up for bigger and better things than

857
01:21:45,040 --> 01:21:53,360
Bologna unfortunately but I think that does bring a bit of pull power. Yeah it must and as it stands

858
01:21:53,360 --> 01:21:57,600
right now you know as you said it's a young team playing attractive football and getting some

859
01:21:57,600 --> 01:22:03,280
impressive results here and there so yeah maybe we will see a few big players joining or if not

860
01:22:03,280 --> 01:22:07,120
maybe we can develop some of the guys that already did they have some promising talents over there.

861
01:22:07,120 --> 01:22:14,960
Exactly. Man of any genre almost gave them the lead. He did. When he came on had he come on maybe

862
01:22:14,960 --> 01:22:20,480
if the chance came a little bit later he might have been able to take it but I think he had just

863
01:22:20,480 --> 01:22:25,680
come on he panicked yeah he doesn't have that ball dancing DNA you know. No and he hasn't been

864
01:22:25,680 --> 01:22:31,360
getting as many minutes as perhaps he would have liked and as many minutes as we would have expected

865
01:22:31,360 --> 01:22:36,080
because last season this guy was Mourinho's golden boy down the left flank bringing him on he's

866
01:22:36,080 --> 01:22:43,600
scoring braces he's doing this he's doing that he moves to Cremo Nese permanently and you would

867
01:22:43,600 --> 01:22:49,680
think that he'd be one of their star players but he's coming on basically he's a rotation player

868
01:22:49,680 --> 01:22:54,960
he's a substitute player and I think if they show a bit more faith in him and put him in the starting

869
01:22:54,960 --> 01:23:00,480
11 more they'll start seeing a sharper version of Afena John and I think it would be a long-term

870
01:23:00,480 --> 01:23:08,080
investment for them. Yes bro I agree the thing is I think they prefer so they have Shofani who's kind

871
01:23:08,080 --> 01:23:13,760
of a physical striker and they have Ocarecke who is the more mobile of the two so I think they view

872
01:23:13,760 --> 01:23:18,640
Afena John as kind of a vice or Ocarecke as it stands and I much prefer that than playing him on

873
01:23:18,640 --> 01:23:23,680
the wing out of possession quite frankly. Yeah yeah yeah no you're right over there. This was the first

874
01:23:23,680 --> 01:23:30,240
meeting between Bologna and Cremo Nese since 1989 the game back then ended in a 2-1 victory for

875
01:23:30,240 --> 01:23:37,440
Cremo Nese. Oh how time flies huh? How time flies bro I was merely a sperm in my dad's ballsack back

876
01:23:37,440 --> 01:23:46,720
then. So Cremo Nese are currently last with eighth points eight points sorry while Bologna are in

877
01:23:46,720 --> 01:23:52,960
12th with 23 points. The next game we're going to be covering is the one-one draw between Monza and

878
01:23:52,960 --> 01:23:58,800
Sosuolo. Monza lined up in a 3-4-1 formation very popular formation nowadays by the way

879
01:23:59,840 --> 01:24:06,080
they had the Gregorian goal and the back line of the fantastic Itso Caldi Rolla and Santos they

880
01:24:06,080 --> 01:24:10,800
had Carlos Augusto out on the left and Birindelli out on the right with a double pivot of Pessina

881
01:24:10,800 --> 01:24:17,200
and Maschin. Caprari out on the left Churi out on the right with Petania up front. Sosuolo still

882
01:24:17,200 --> 01:24:23,440
have the 41 year old Pegolo in goal with Tolian Ehrlich Ferrari and Rogeria at the back double

883
01:24:23,440 --> 01:24:29,200
pivot of Frattesi and Objong. Berardi out on the right Lauriente out on the left Traore down the

884
01:24:29,200 --> 01:24:35,920
middle and Defrel up front. It was very interesting to see Frattesi kissing the badge the Sosuolo

885
01:24:35,920 --> 01:24:42,080
badge in front of their three fans at the start of the game so I wonder what that means if it's

886
01:24:42,080 --> 01:24:49,760
a goodbye or if it's a I'm here to stay I love the club. So in the 13th minute Ferrari scored wow

887
01:24:50,400 --> 01:24:55,280
who would have thought huh? Who would have thought bro honestly. It was a low corner by Traore

888
01:24:56,000 --> 01:25:02,480
and it was Ronaldo flicked by Frattesi and into the pot of Ferrari who finished 12. You guys

889
01:25:02,480 --> 01:25:07,760
aren't exactly aware of what a Ronaldo flick is it's when a player seems to get a touch on the

890
01:25:07,760 --> 01:25:13,360
ball but doesn't but he might just claim it and that's exactly what happened over there so I

891
01:25:13,360 --> 01:25:19,600
thought it was an assist for Frattesi but it was in fact a Traore assist. Moments later Lauriente

892
01:25:19,600 --> 01:25:25,120
smashed the woodwork after some good work by Berardi but then in the 59th minutes the inevitable

893
01:25:25,120 --> 01:25:29,920
Caprari scored the Italian curveball in of the post from a tight angle it was a fantastic goal

894
01:25:29,920 --> 01:25:34,880
to be honest that's a fucking shout as well for a goal of the week man. It is it is that was a great

895
01:25:34,880 --> 01:25:39,360
goal by Caprari. I feel like every goal Caprari scores is a shout for a goal of the week. Yeah

896
01:25:39,360 --> 01:25:44,000
he's really good man he's a really good gem for these for these teams that are just above the

897
01:25:44,000 --> 01:25:49,840
relegation pool like Caprari is a really good player for them. 100% in the 75th minute Pergola

898
01:25:49,840 --> 01:25:54,880
saved Kitkaer's shot and the rebound fell to Mota who had an open net but failed to make any

899
01:25:54,880 --> 01:26:01,680
significant contact on the ball and it was a very embarrassing miss he hit it like too much with the

900
01:26:01,680 --> 01:26:09,840
out step so it just ended up going straight up right it was really just poor I felt bad for him

901
01:26:09,840 --> 01:26:14,400
it was so embarrassing. Then the closing moments of the match Berardi had a good opportunity to

902
01:26:14,400 --> 01:26:21,520
get a rare win for his side but struck the ball just wide much to Monza's pleasure. So Monza had

903
01:26:21,520 --> 01:26:28,640
61% ball possession to Soswala's 39% the shots were quite even Monza had 14 Soswala had 13 Monza

904
01:26:28,640 --> 01:26:33,680
had 3 on target Soswala had 1 I think that draw was quite a fair result over here what do you think?

905
01:26:34,800 --> 01:26:39,920
I wouldn't go as far as saying that Monza probably deserved to win it. Soswala got an early lead and

906
01:26:39,920 --> 01:26:45,520
didn't really do anything about it while Monza you know you see Palladino over here he tried about

907
01:26:45,520 --> 01:26:49,920
three different formations before they eventually got the equalizer including a triple whammy where

908
01:26:49,920 --> 01:26:56,000
he took out some veteran players over there early on in the second half these veteran players

909
01:26:56,000 --> 01:27:04,480
included you know he took out Marlon, Petania and Brindelli for Colpani, Marri and Danny Mota

910
01:27:04,480 --> 01:27:10,560
this was all to change formation to try to adapt to Soswala's system and it worked you know it

911
01:27:10,560 --> 01:27:17,040
worked they managed to get their goal I do think that Monza deserved maybe a victory over here.

912
01:27:17,040 --> 01:27:22,640
Interesting because I think that Soswala's chances were a bit more clear cut than Monza's and Barai

913
01:27:22,640 --> 01:27:28,240
they had a couple of opportunities Lauriente hit the post as well with quite an opportunity

914
01:27:29,120 --> 01:27:32,560
but obviously if you don't take those chances then you're not going to get the victory and I

915
01:27:32,560 --> 01:27:38,400
think that's a testament to both teams and to be honest that draw might have been a fair result

916
01:27:38,400 --> 01:27:44,320
over here. A couple of players to highlight in this performance I would say that Itso at the moment

917
01:27:44,320 --> 01:27:49,600
is proving to be one of the best defenders in the league at the moment. He deserves a national team

918
01:27:49,600 --> 01:27:56,560
call-up if he keeps this up honestly like he was good at Torino but with Monza right now as it stands

919
01:27:56,560 --> 01:28:01,120
he doesn't put a foot wrong and you know they play him they play him the ball in a tight space like

920
01:28:01,120 --> 01:28:06,560
and he'll just like back heel it like to the winger you know just casually comfortably he's

921
01:28:06,560 --> 01:28:12,080
so good with the ball on his feet as well he hasn't put a foot wrong in a while Itso always would.

922
01:28:12,080 --> 01:28:20,560
Agreed. Petania so despite not scoring and not being incredibly sharp in front of goal having

923
01:28:20,560 --> 01:28:26,560
Caprari and Turia behind him and him playing with his back towards goal really shows Petania's strong

924
01:28:26,560 --> 01:28:32,400
point which is playing with his back towards goal laying the ball off flicking the ball through to

925
01:28:32,400 --> 01:28:38,720
someone making the run and I think when we see Sensi on the pitch a little bit more and when we

926
01:28:38,720 --> 01:28:44,560
see Pessina maybe moving forward a little bit more that's when we see Petania at full flow he's

927
01:28:44,560 --> 01:28:50,240
been playing spectacularly he's been playing better than he was. He's a very mature striker

928
01:28:50,240 --> 01:28:57,040
he's developing very well Petania nowadays he is 27 years old Petania I remember him as a youth

929
01:28:57,040 --> 01:29:02,320
product for Milan I remember Milan bringing in Maltrian stripping him out and him being in tears

930
01:29:02,320 --> 01:29:06,320
and he had that season at Atalanta where he did really well with Papogamos back then

931
01:29:06,320 --> 01:29:11,520
and he moved to Napoli where he didn't really hit the ground running at all scored a few goals

932
01:29:11,520 --> 01:29:15,920
Palletti decided to keep him off that particularly important one but I think this is his level I

933
01:29:15,920 --> 01:29:21,840
think he should have stayed at this level for a little while in order to develop but you know 27

934
01:29:21,840 --> 01:29:28,640
years old for a striker of his size and style he could still have another seven years left a hundred

935
01:29:28,640 --> 01:29:33,440
percent that's the point I was going to make is he might just be one of those strikers that peaks

936
01:29:33,440 --> 01:29:41,600
with maturity so the second he gets more experience in front of goal and finishing off chances and

937
01:29:41,600 --> 01:29:49,520
being at in the right place at the right time with with his assets not being his pace and his speed

938
01:29:49,520 --> 01:29:55,840
and his acceleration so on so forth he might just find himself getting better with age we might see

939
01:29:55,840 --> 01:30:02,560
him peaking at 32 33 years old I wouldn't be surprised at all if that's the case. For Sasuolo

940
01:30:02,560 --> 01:30:08,720
usual suspects Frattese had another great performance Objong is back and playing very

941
01:30:08,720 --> 01:30:15,120
well yeah he had a good performance over there as well and let's just say that Sasuolo's defense

942
01:30:15,120 --> 01:30:19,840
looked a bit better than it usually does in this game against a Monza team who have been spectacular

943
01:30:19,840 --> 01:30:25,920
going forward so credit where it's due their back line was much better than usual so Sasuolo

944
01:30:25,920 --> 01:30:38,000
sit in 17th place on 17 points while Monza sit in 13th place on 22 points. The next game we're

945
01:30:38,000 --> 01:30:44,800
going to be covering is Verona 2-0 Verona lined up with their 3-4-2-1 formation with Montepo and

946
01:30:44,800 --> 01:30:51,680
Gold, Cecharini at the back with Hien and Davidovic, Duj on the left, De Pauli on the right with Tameze

947
01:30:51,680 --> 01:30:57,200
and Illich in the middle, Lazovic and Lasagna played off the shoulders the very broad shoulders

948
01:30:57,200 --> 01:31:04,240
of Ivan Juric. Falcone was in goal for Lecce as they played a 4-3-3 formation, Gendre on the right,

949
01:31:04,240 --> 01:31:10,160
Gallo on the left with Umtiti and Vasquirotto at the back, Blin, Hülmend and Gonzales were in the

950
01:31:10,160 --> 01:31:16,880
middle with Stefetta on the right, De Francesco on the left and Colombo up front. In the 40th minute

951
01:31:16,880 --> 01:31:22,160
a brilliant cross by Doig from out wide fell perfectly to De Pauli who made no mistake

952
01:31:22,160 --> 01:31:27,760
scoring a fantastic header. In the 52nd minute Illich hit the cross bar with a long-ranged

953
01:31:27,760 --> 01:31:34,720
strike before booking a short-ranged flight to Marseille. Now this is the thing he might be off

954
01:31:34,720 --> 01:31:40,080
to Marseille everything is agreed at the end of the season and he might he would in that case remain

955
01:31:40,080 --> 01:31:45,600
at Verona until the end of the season but Torino have stepped in and are trying to hijack the deal

956
01:31:45,600 --> 01:31:50,880
so we might still see Illich in Serie A. Apparently also Arsenal as well are interested.

957
01:31:53,040 --> 01:31:58,800
In the 54th minute there was a gorgeous turn and pass by Illich to Spotlazovich who still had a

958
01:31:58,800 --> 01:32:04,480
lot of work to do but finished into the near corner so Illich had a fantastic game as Matthias

959
01:32:05,120 --> 01:32:10,560
a couple of weeks ago declared it to be Illich watch yeah and now he's off you know that that's

960
01:32:10,560 --> 01:32:15,760
just the nature of players who play with these teams. I mean Matthias couldn't have been more

961
01:32:15,760 --> 01:32:20,880
bang on right he said he's gonna find his form and a lot of teams are gonna be interested in him so

962
01:32:20,880 --> 01:32:26,160
he really hit the nail on the head over there and it was just a spectacular performance by Illich who

963
01:32:26,160 --> 01:32:31,200
was always available to his teammates around him very very active over there had a crack at goal

964
01:32:31,200 --> 01:32:37,280
when he could brilliant assist for Lazovic's goal as well shout out to Lazovic as well man he's

965
01:32:37,280 --> 01:32:41,840
really found his feet again really has and playing closer to goal was the key apparently yeah.

966
01:32:42,720 --> 01:32:46,560
Letchier this game dominated possession and they looked more dangerous for most of the game and I

967
01:32:46,560 --> 01:32:52,000
was watching it was all Letchier in fact but Verona once again stayed compact and they managed to get

968
01:32:52,000 --> 01:32:57,120
goals through individual moments and brilliance that Doik Kross was amazing and that Illich

969
01:32:57,120 --> 01:33:02,560
maneuver was brilliant too. Yeah Verona have pretty much been that kind of side ever since

970
01:33:02,560 --> 01:33:09,760
they appointed Zaffaroni the Monza legend so to say they have been very more much more mature

971
01:33:09,760 --> 01:33:16,320
in their approach and a little bit more pragmatic and yet it's looking good for Verona their

972
01:33:16,320 --> 01:33:22,880
upcoming fixtures is what I'm interested in so I'm going to look them up right now in fact their

973
01:33:22,880 --> 01:33:28,560
next game is on a Monday night against Odinese away from home they then have Lazio at home then

974
01:33:28,560 --> 01:33:34,320
Salernitana, Roma, Fiorentina, Spezia there are no easy fixtures Verona are going to want to turn it

975
01:33:34,320 --> 01:33:39,360
around they're going to need to keep doing exactly what they're doing but they're onto something here

976
01:33:39,360 --> 01:33:46,480
man they're definitely onto something. They definitely are bro two ex defenders Mbocchetti

977
01:33:46,480 --> 01:33:54,720
and Zaffaroni really tidying things up at the back for Verona and giving them a new lease of life.

978
01:33:54,720 --> 01:34:01,600
Yeah and obviously they didn't exactly face an easy side in Lecce the team that gave that gave

979
01:34:01,600 --> 01:34:07,040
Milan a fucking run for their money as well too too. And they seemed early on Lecce were opening up

980
01:34:07,040 --> 01:34:11,440
Verona similarly to how they were opening up Milan but then something changed I feel like they got

981
01:34:11,440 --> 01:34:18,080
the midfield to drop deeper Verona and they adapted to Lecce's play style and they beat them to be

982
01:34:18,080 --> 01:34:25,360
honest with experience quite frankly yeah pretty much man pretty much. They currently so they I

983
01:34:25,360 --> 01:34:31,600
always say they who the fuck is they Verona currently sit in 18th with 12 points while Lecce

984
01:34:31,600 --> 01:34:43,760
sit in 14th with 20. Coppa Italia round up. So Inter are playing against Atalanta in the quarter

985
01:34:43,760 --> 01:34:50,560
finals after Inter knocked out Parma and Atalanta knocked out Spezia Lazio knocked out Bologna and

986
01:34:50,560 --> 01:34:56,640
Juve knocked out Monza and they're facing each other and Napoli got knocked out by Cremonese who

987
01:34:56,640 --> 01:35:03,200
will face Roma who knocked out Genoa. Fiorentina are playing against Torino as they knocked out

988
01:35:03,200 --> 01:35:08,240
Sampdoria and Milan respectively. So yeah it's going to be an interesting one who wins the Coppa

989
01:35:08,240 --> 01:35:15,200
Italia this year bro. Let's make a prediction. Who wins the Coppa Italia? I get a feeling it will

990
01:35:15,200 --> 01:35:24,640
be Juve not win the Coppa Italia. Interesting I am gonna say Atalanta wins the Coppa Italia.

991
01:35:25,600 --> 01:35:31,680
Shall we put something dirty on the line for that? Oh my god here we go. We'll discuss it and we'll

992
01:35:31,680 --> 01:35:37,280
get back to the audience but it's it's it's interesting. There are however other interesting

993
01:35:37,280 --> 01:35:42,320
things we could put something on the line for. There are indeed and we should probably start

994
01:35:42,320 --> 01:35:48,640
thinking about this weekend's bet bro. We should so the biggest game this weekend is Napoli at

995
01:35:48,640 --> 01:35:55,200
home against Roma that is like cancel your plans. We're not touching that. No no absolutely not.

996
01:35:55,200 --> 01:36:00,160
Absolutely not. We don't know if it's going to be low scoring high scoring. There's lots of Fiorentina

997
01:36:00,160 --> 01:36:06,400
that's crazy as well like right before it. Oh my god look at this day look at our Sunday bro.

998
01:36:06,400 --> 01:36:11,760
Milan's a swole at 12 30 that has the potential to ruin our whole day. Literally. Juve are at

999
01:36:11,760 --> 01:36:19,440
three o'clock six o'clock lots of Fiorentina 8 45 Napoli Roma and that's that's good. Don't we have

1000
01:36:19,440 --> 01:36:28,800
the Dan Hood podcast on Sunday? We're gonna we're gonna arrange that don't worry. Saturday maybe

1001
01:36:29,840 --> 01:36:35,040
yeah we'll see what we could do about that. But yeah have an exciting week of football. I'm

1002
01:36:35,040 --> 01:36:44,160
personally leaning towards betting on like Atalanta Sampdoria. Maybe the odds will be decent for an

1003
01:36:44,160 --> 01:36:48,960
Atalanta win since Sampdoria have been a bit better and maybe since Milan have been shit

1004
01:36:49,920 --> 01:36:55,760
and no way. No no we don't touch Milan anymore. I have a feeling that's why Milan suck because we

1005
01:36:55,760 --> 01:37:03,440
better. But then as a Verona Verona winner draws quite interesting. It is it is that's a good one

1006
01:37:03,440 --> 01:37:10,560
um or Verona winner draw. That's what I think will go down. I think Verona have the edge

1007
01:37:10,560 --> 01:37:15,840
but anyway we'll see okay. Thank you very much for listening guys drop us a follow at say a
