1 00:00:00,000 --> 00:00:27,400 Hello 2 00:00:27,400 --> 00:00:32,420 and welcome back to say a spotlight. This is episode 83 we're your hosts Jake and 3 00:00:32,420 --> 00:00:38,080 Matt and we're here to take you through the Serie A promotion playoffs. Yes, of course, 4 00:00:38,080 --> 00:00:42,280 there's a bunch of other news that we want to go through before we get into all the details 5 00:00:42,280 --> 00:00:47,040 and the happenings of Serie A, but the playoffs, the playoffs, all the necessary information 6 00:00:47,040 --> 00:00:53,160 has happened this week. There was a Champions League final. There was the World Cup under 7 00:00:53,160 --> 00:00:58,040 2020 finals as well that we need to talk about. So we'll just go through a quick rundown 8 00:00:58,040 --> 00:01:02,920 and then we'll get to Syria and give you guys what you want to hear. The goal we featured 9 00:01:02,920 --> 00:01:10,480 in our intro was Pavalletti's lost second winner to gain promotion for Calieri. Zappa 10 00:01:10,480 --> 00:01:15,120 absolutely destroyed his man out on the wing, whipped in a beautiful cross and Pavalletti 11 00:01:15,120 --> 00:01:19,200 just volleyed at home. Quite an easy task for him. Zappa did all the dirty work. Yeah, 12 00:01:19,200 --> 00:01:26,640 I mean, 95th minute, second leg, Barri were cruising to the Syria at that point, naturally, 13 00:01:26,640 --> 00:01:31,640 because they had finished third. But wow, Calieri just kept on going in the last minute 14 00:01:31,640 --> 00:01:36,160 until the last minute and that fierce San Nicolas stadium with that atmosphere with 15 00:01:36,160 --> 00:01:42,960 Barri fans going absolutely mental. 52,000 of them. 52,000 of them and absolutely silenced 16 00:01:42,960 --> 00:01:48,120 because of Pavalletti. It'll be great to see him back in Syria next year, man. Yeah, definitely. 17 00:01:48,120 --> 00:01:52,680 If you want to check out our snippets, guys, you can follow us at, say, a spotlight on 18 00:01:52,680 --> 00:01:58,520 Instagram or TikTok. And we can also check out our website for new merch. I don't know 19 00:01:58,520 --> 00:02:06,080 if you noticed the artwork of the episodes. I've been drawing these little fucking silly 20 00:02:06,080 --> 00:02:11,080 caricatures and you can buy them as stickers now. They're like one Euro, one Euro 30 cents. 21 00:02:11,080 --> 00:02:17,000 Yeah, it's like one Euro 39 cents. We're also doing like bucket hats and t-shirts and caps 22 00:02:17,000 --> 00:02:22,760 so on so forth. They're pretty sick. I mean, you can feel free. We're going to buy some 23 00:02:22,760 --> 00:02:27,480 ourselves because we're actually thinking they're pretty cool. Like that bucket hat with the 24 00:02:27,480 --> 00:02:34,600 with ConDreva. We're a bit limited with what colors we can do that would be sick in Amaroun, 25 00:02:34,600 --> 00:02:39,080 for example, Salerno and the colors. But we're only starting. This is the start of something 26 00:02:39,080 --> 00:02:43,880 new. It's the new stream for us and something we're passionate about, something we're creating 27 00:02:43,880 --> 00:02:50,120 with. Like Drake is creating. If you guys want to support, feel free. We've also got Patreon. 28 00:02:50,120 --> 00:02:53,960 I don't want to shove everything down your throat. But that's 399 a month if you'd like 29 00:02:53,960 --> 00:03:00,680 to support our content guys. Yes, we have had another FIFA showdown at the time with the 30 00:03:00,680 --> 00:03:05,920 drafts. We're doing FIFA drafts on Ultimate Team. And we're just we're just taking every 31 00:03:05,920 --> 00:03:11,160 single Syria or Italian player that we came across. We were taking the likes of fucking 32 00:03:11,160 --> 00:03:19,640 in. Very similar. Very similar to the option of like Cruyff or something. Fucking bring 33 00:03:19,640 --> 00:03:23,480 baby for the culture, baby for the culture. Okay, so I think the first thing we need to 34 00:03:23,480 --> 00:03:29,080 address bro before getting into the playoffs is the champions. We find it's absolutely. 35 00:03:29,080 --> 00:03:33,960 I think it's as we said it would be in the sense that of course, city are favorites, 36 00:03:33,960 --> 00:03:39,040 but enter a tough team to penetrate. They're a tough team to it's tough to adapt when you're 37 00:03:39,040 --> 00:03:42,960 playing against Inter. It's like you never know what's going to come. They're such an 38 00:03:42,960 --> 00:03:47,000 organized team and they're so versatile when it comes to the way that they move the ball 39 00:03:47,000 --> 00:03:51,520 forward. So city had a tough time adapting, but they did have that one moment. That's 40 00:03:51,520 --> 00:03:57,240 the difference now between city and Inter. Inter would have had four better chances than 41 00:03:57,240 --> 00:04:01,040 city had, but city have that quality. They have someone like Rodree where the balls outside 42 00:04:01,040 --> 00:04:07,280 the area just slots it in one laps in concentration for Inter and it costs them. Yeah, I mean, 43 00:04:07,280 --> 00:04:10,520 we mentioned I think in the last episode, no, that was going to be the runners in behind 44 00:04:10,520 --> 00:04:15,720 who would do damage. Yeah, exactly. Not Holland, you know, because Inter have sent a back to 45 00:04:15,720 --> 00:04:19,520 kind of Marshall Holland, you know, you look at a chair be I mean, before the game, an 46 00:04:19,520 --> 00:04:23,840 Inter fan was asked what it would take to stop Holland and he replied, I don't know, 47 00:04:23,840 --> 00:04:32,200 maybe a rifle rifle, maybe turns out by rifle. He meant 35 year old Francesco, a chair, but 48 00:04:32,200 --> 00:04:36,040 then he would have been spot on because he did a great job. I did a fantastic job. I think 49 00:04:36,040 --> 00:04:42,360 he was man of the match. It's my opinion for Inter, at least. Yeah. The Bruin injury, 50 00:04:42,360 --> 00:04:49,320 of course, gave Inter fans hope. Well, it can give Inter hope, but it's not always something 51 00:04:49,320 --> 00:04:53,880 so beneficial because you would practice and you would practice and you would practice 52 00:04:53,880 --> 00:04:58,720 to deal with the source that is Kevin De Bruyne. You take out Kevin De Bruyne and you bring 53 00:04:58,720 --> 00:05:06,080 on, I don't know, who did they bring? They bring on Phil Foden. Yeah. And suddenly, shit, 54 00:05:06,080 --> 00:05:10,080 okay, now it's Phil Foden. Yeah. We haven't practiced to deal with Phil Foden. There was 55 00:05:10,080 --> 00:05:17,000 a famous story about some manager that was going to the FA Cup final and they were preparing 56 00:05:17,000 --> 00:05:22,000 for a gas coin to play against gas coin. It was against Spurs. Gas coin went off injured 57 00:05:22,000 --> 00:05:26,880 after 20 minutes and after that they got mauled because this new guy came in, they knew nothing 58 00:05:26,880 --> 00:05:30,800 about him and he just destroyed them. Obviously, there's more awareness in football nowadays 59 00:05:30,800 --> 00:05:35,560 than back then in the 90s or whatever that was, but it would have made a difference. 60 00:05:35,560 --> 00:05:44,200 Yeah. I mean, I'm sure they had a game plan on KDB. The fusing KDB. But yeah, it was obviously 61 00:05:44,200 --> 00:05:48,720 cut short because of the injury. But yes, I was impressed by Inter, to be honest. De 62 00:05:48,720 --> 00:05:54,040 Marco played an incredible game. De Marco, the season has really turned switched gear 63 00:05:54,040 --> 00:05:58,880 compared to last year with Inter. I thought they were very unlucky. I thought Lukaku getting 64 00:05:58,880 --> 00:06:02,160 in the way again, man, who was so unlucky. And I think someone in Zaghi, look, people 65 00:06:02,160 --> 00:06:06,800 are criticizing because it's easy to criticize them in hindsight for not starting Lukaku. 66 00:06:06,800 --> 00:06:10,200 But bringing him on, man, changed momentum and they did have chances to be equalized 67 00:06:10,200 --> 00:06:15,040 and they were very unlucky, not to man that amazing save by others at the end as well. 68 00:06:15,040 --> 00:06:19,960 I still think that a cooler head towards the end of the 90 minutes would have been the 69 00:06:19,960 --> 00:06:26,480 way to go by bringing on Zeca, which is something I had said in the last episode as well. But 70 00:06:26,480 --> 00:06:30,920 in that case, I think it's one of those things that you end up looking so deeply into that 71 00:06:30,920 --> 00:06:37,400 no matter what the conclusion is, it's never going to be the right one. You're always going 72 00:06:37,400 --> 00:06:43,740 to be missing out on something. It's a judgment call. And I think they've, on all the big stages 73 00:06:43,740 --> 00:06:48,280 Inter have been in this season, they always started Zeca and brought on Lukaku. That 74 00:06:48,280 --> 00:06:51,520 was their system. That's what they had been doing. That's what worked. I think it's as 75 00:06:51,520 --> 00:06:58,440 simple as if you need to score, you're not going to stretch the lines with Zeca. Or 76 00:06:58,440 --> 00:07:02,640 if you need to score against a team that dominates possession, you need to be able to stretch 77 00:07:02,640 --> 00:07:06,560 the game as much as possible. Zeca doesn't give you that he can't play Zeca on behind. 78 00:07:06,560 --> 00:07:09,960 Lukaku on the other hand, if he's starting from the halfway line and you play him in 79 00:07:09,960 --> 00:07:14,480 behind prime, Lukaku, at least, would absolutely demolish his man. And that gives them the 80 00:07:14,480 --> 00:07:18,320 opportunity to have fresh legs and to actually strengthen in the second half because city 81 00:07:18,320 --> 00:07:22,800 are most definitely strengthening. They've got 100 million men on the bench, 100 million 82 00:07:22,800 --> 00:07:32,040 Euro men. So you don't actually have 100 million substitutes. They don't even have a million 83 00:07:32,040 --> 00:07:39,880 fans, I think. Did you see their celebrations, man? Bro, I mean, you look at Milan winning 84 00:07:39,880 --> 00:07:46,240 the league. Okay, forget the Italians because obviously a lot, not levels, not because they're 85 00:07:46,240 --> 00:07:49,520 more passionate, which I believe that they are, but not because they're more passionate, 86 00:07:49,520 --> 00:07:55,280 but even the chance, the language, the demeanor and everything just does make it more vibrant 87 00:07:55,280 --> 00:08:02,840 than chanting a few silly songs to each other in English. But honestly, you look at Liverpool 88 00:08:02,840 --> 00:08:06,560 when they want to look at United, when they want to look at Chelsea when they want to 89 00:08:06,560 --> 00:08:10,560 look at city and it's like, okay, this is a cute little get together. You just want 90 00:08:10,560 --> 00:08:17,640 the fucking treble dogs. Like it's true. And I think the one, the person who celebrated 91 00:08:17,640 --> 00:08:22,520 the most was most definitely Jack Agriilis. And he's in Malta now about about the player 92 00:08:22,520 --> 00:08:30,840 games. He's not going to be playing. So, bro, let's move away from the champions. Finally, 93 00:08:30,840 --> 00:08:35,600 I applaud Inter. I applaud every each and every one of those Italian teams that made 94 00:08:35,600 --> 00:08:38,720 it to a final, but failed to bring something home next season will be better. Come on, 95 00:08:38,720 --> 00:08:45,760 there's steps to success. So say update, Hellas Verona, stay up, Spazia, go down after three 96 00:08:45,760 --> 00:08:52,800 consecutive years in say, what did you make of this game, bro? This was a playoff relegation 97 00:08:52,800 --> 00:08:57,800 battle, a play out, I believe they call it. Yeah, play out. Yeah. And the first one of 98 00:08:57,800 --> 00:09:03,120 this kind in say, yeah, after it was introduced the beginning of the season. Yeah. And Verona 99 00:09:03,120 --> 00:09:07,760 absolutely looked like they looked like another level compared to Spazia. And Gaunge looked 100 00:09:07,760 --> 00:09:14,920 incredible. I mean, it's as simple as Verona got going and Spazia didn't. It's like Spazia 101 00:09:14,920 --> 00:09:21,280 really felt the they played the occasion, not the game. It almost seemed like they weren't 102 00:09:21,280 --> 00:09:28,320 up to the task and Verona were too quick for them. They were too wide for them. The way 103 00:09:28,320 --> 00:09:33,640 that they were playing on the flanks was very, very dangerous. And Spazia just couldn't contain 104 00:09:33,640 --> 00:09:39,200 them. Spazia don't have half the weapons. In fact, they have one weapon up front and 105 00:09:39,200 --> 00:09:45,080 we all know his name. Yeah. And many injuries as well, like the key players as well. Spazia, 106 00:09:45,080 --> 00:09:48,840 I mean, granted, both teams had missing players, but I think Spazia don't afford to have missing 107 00:09:48,840 --> 00:09:52,760 players because their squad's quite thin. Yeah, absolutely. And it's hilarious that 108 00:09:52,760 --> 00:09:57,240 you say that because in the Divin in Syria for three years now, two of those years they 109 00:09:57,240 --> 00:10:01,000 had a transfer ban. It was the first time they could have fucking splashed some cash 110 00:10:01,000 --> 00:10:05,840 like and they got relegated. So that's just the way football goes sometimes. But I do 111 00:10:05,840 --> 00:10:12,440 think Verona were a level above Spazia. In this game, then you look at during the league, 112 00:10:12,440 --> 00:10:18,200 I think that Spazia were a bit more street smart than Verona and Verona were very, very 113 00:10:18,200 --> 00:10:24,240 unlucky at times. But I think you put these teams head to head and Verona get it done. 114 00:10:24,240 --> 00:10:29,200 A terrible season for Verona. One decent month and they survive. Exactly. That's it. One 115 00:10:29,200 --> 00:10:38,040 massive moment in the game was when Verona were leading 3-1. I believe it was Shamoradov 116 00:10:38,040 --> 00:10:42,600 managed to get the ball over the goalkeeper around and it was going in and Faro and he 117 00:10:42,600 --> 00:10:50,360 just hands the ball off the line, giving Spazia a penalty and getting a red card. Inzala 118 00:10:50,360 --> 00:10:57,680 stepped up to take the penalty and he just passed it to Montepo. Montepo was a hero, 119 00:10:57,680 --> 00:11:03,040 he got to stay in Serie A, he's expressed his insecurity with that. Aside from the penalty 120 00:11:03,040 --> 00:11:09,320 save, Montepo had a very good game. But Drangovsky needs to stay in Serie A. So many of these 121 00:11:09,320 --> 00:11:15,120 guys, even Simone Bastoni in Zola. I think certain players could benefit from that sometime 122 00:11:15,120 --> 00:11:21,640 in Serie A. But Jossi Agudela needs a bit of time. Maybe. Nicolau I think could stay 123 00:11:21,640 --> 00:11:26,720 as well. But we'll see anyway. There are a few good players over here who can stay and 124 00:11:26,720 --> 00:11:36,640 say, Ethan Ampado has been relegated for the past three seasons in a row. I know he got 125 00:11:36,640 --> 00:11:41,840 relegated with Venetia last year and this year with Spazia. And before that with Sheffield 126 00:11:41,840 --> 00:11:49,760 United. If your club signs Ethan Ampado, you better be worried. Exactly. How funny. He'll 127 00:11:49,760 --> 00:11:55,040 probably, I don't know if he'll stay in Italy next season. I enjoyed him. I think he's 128 00:11:55,040 --> 00:12:03,800 a good player. He had a game from hell. He had the weirdest football game I've ever 129 00:12:03,800 --> 00:12:10,160 witnessed in my life. So first they concede and the ball bounces in off of him. Then 130 00:12:10,160 --> 00:12:17,960 he scores an absolute worldy. Well, there was a deflection. But worldy. It reminded 131 00:12:17,960 --> 00:12:25,360 me of Luis Alberto's goal against Inter. Gorgeous, significant deflection though. And then after 132 00:12:25,360 --> 00:12:30,440 they concede another and it bounces in off Ampado as well. It's like, was he the hero? 133 00:12:30,440 --> 00:12:35,480 Was he the villain? I can't quite put my finger on it man. But he was everything for Spazia 134 00:12:35,480 --> 00:12:39,720 in that game. He was absolutely everything and he was everywhere. He was most definitely 135 00:12:39,720 --> 00:12:46,360 everything. But above all, he was Welsh. On the topic of this week's losers, we've got 136 00:12:46,360 --> 00:12:51,480 the Esposito brothers. For those of you who are poor guys, there are three of them. There 137 00:12:51,480 --> 00:12:59,000 are three Espositos littered amongst Serie A. Very talented family. Yes, very. One of 138 00:12:59,000 --> 00:13:05,360 them is Sebastiano Esposito who lost the playoff final with Barri against Calieri. Then there's 139 00:13:05,360 --> 00:13:11,720 Salvatore Esposito who lost the playoff final with Spazia. And then there's Francesco Esposito 140 00:13:11,720 --> 00:13:14,760 who lost the under 20 World Cup final against Uruguay. 141 00:13:14,760 --> 00:13:19,880 Oh man. Yeah. So I don't want to get the next family gathering. 142 00:13:19,880 --> 00:13:24,720 They're still better off than us. I guess they still play or they all play them fight. 143 00:13:24,720 --> 00:13:28,680 Hey, that's the way they should look. No, I just said steps to success. Look at the Esposito 144 00:13:28,680 --> 00:13:36,720 brothers dog. All made it to finals. Well, one of them was a playoff. But he's young 145 00:13:36,720 --> 00:13:41,840 and playing regularly in Serie A. So that's good. Yes. On that note, Calieri, of course, 146 00:13:41,840 --> 00:13:46,240 are back in Serie A after one season out. Now there's a very romantic story over here 147 00:13:46,240 --> 00:13:53,480 as a young Claudio Ranieri in 1988 joined Calieri in Serie A and led them to two successive 148 00:13:53,480 --> 00:13:59,240 promotions to say in December, a 71 year old Ranieri came in with the task of bringing 149 00:13:59,240 --> 00:14:05,080 struggling Calieri back to Serie A. And he took over when they were in 14th place. 150 00:14:05,080 --> 00:14:10,840 Yes, man. He did. He did an absolute just the thinker, man. No, the hero, the guy that 151 00:14:10,840 --> 00:14:15,760 makes the impossible possible. You can talk all day about his failures, but his successes 152 00:14:15,760 --> 00:14:19,880 are just so overwhelming, man. Look at what he did with Lester. Look at what he did with 153 00:14:19,880 --> 00:14:25,600 Calieri. Look at what he did in the past in Serie A as well. That's a very, very, very... 154 00:14:25,600 --> 00:14:30,960 He just really makes a team. Jell as a family creates this bond. I do believe that he's 155 00:14:30,960 --> 00:14:37,280 a bit of a Ted Lasso with more of a tactical approach, a highly tactical approach. I think 156 00:14:37,280 --> 00:14:43,560 he's a very lovable figure. You saw his Lester. We are in Champions League, man. We are in 157 00:14:43,560 --> 00:14:48,320 Champions League, man. But ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, ding, 158 00:14:48,320 --> 00:14:54,400 ding, ding, ding. That was amazing, man. And obviously as well, there was also Frosinone, 159 00:14:54,400 --> 00:15:03,040 who won Serie A, last year, led by Tiago Motta. And Geno and second managed by Alberto Gelardino. 160 00:15:03,040 --> 00:15:11,160 So you have two World Cup winners over there. And also Geno and Calieri just got relegated 161 00:15:11,160 --> 00:15:16,160 last season. For them to bounce back in the manner that they did was fantastic. And you 162 00:15:16,160 --> 00:15:19,480 Venetia made the playoffs as well after they were fighting 163 00:15:19,480 --> 00:15:24,480 what would have been a very devastating relegation for them because they went up to A 164 00:15:24,480 --> 00:15:26,440 then they went down to B 165 00:15:26,440 --> 00:15:30,880 and then they were going to go down to C but instead they almost made it all the way back 166 00:15:30,880 --> 00:15:32,400 up to A 167 00:15:32,400 --> 00:15:35,320 and the main man over there was obviously Poyampalo 168 00:15:35,320 --> 00:15:37,720 hopefully we'll still see in Stereoanics 169 00:15:37,720 --> 00:15:41,080 scoring four goals in a game and then going and drinking a beer with the fans 170 00:15:41,080 --> 00:15:42,600 and I swear that's actually a thing 171 00:15:42,600 --> 00:15:44,680 yeah yeah yeah yeah he's the coolest dog 172 00:15:44,680 --> 00:15:45,680 he is the coolest 173 00:15:45,680 --> 00:15:47,680 on the topic of playoffs 174 00:15:47,680 --> 00:15:50,680 there was also a play out 175 00:15:50,680 --> 00:15:54,680 game between Cossenza and Brescia 176 00:15:54,680 --> 00:15:56,680 because they finished with 40 points 177 00:15:56,680 --> 00:15:58,680 by the way 40 points to be battling relegation 178 00:15:58,680 --> 00:15:59,680 my god 179 00:15:59,680 --> 00:16:00,680 competitively 180 00:16:00,680 --> 00:16:01,680 my god 181 00:16:01,680 --> 00:16:04,680 yes Cossenza won over two legs 182 00:16:04,680 --> 00:16:06,680 which means that Brescia went down to Stereoanics 183 00:16:06,680 --> 00:16:09,680 which means that Spal Benevento and Brescia 184 00:16:09,680 --> 00:16:11,680 who have all been in Stereoanics recently 185 00:16:11,680 --> 00:16:13,680 are all in Stereoanics right now 186 00:16:13,680 --> 00:16:15,680 absolutely fucking crazy dog 187 00:16:15,680 --> 00:16:17,680 but what went down in this Cossenza 188 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:18,680 Brescia game was crazy 189 00:16:18,680 --> 00:16:20,680 so the first game was a 1-0 victory to Cossenza 190 00:16:20,680 --> 00:16:22,680 thanks to a late goal 191 00:16:22,680 --> 00:16:24,680 by baby bomber Marco Nasti 192 00:16:24,680 --> 00:16:27,680 but in the second leg Brescia were leading 1-0 193 00:16:27,680 --> 00:16:28,680 and then 194 00:16:28,680 --> 00:16:30,680 Cossenza scored to make it 1-1 195 00:16:30,680 --> 00:16:32,680 and chaos ensued 196 00:16:32,680 --> 00:16:34,680 and this is according to the referee's report 197 00:16:34,680 --> 00:16:35,680 it's so dumb it's so dumb 198 00:16:35,680 --> 00:16:36,680 yes 199 00:16:36,680 --> 00:16:38,680 immediately after Cossenza's equalizer 200 00:16:38,680 --> 00:16:40,680 which condemned Brescia to say it's sure 201 00:16:40,680 --> 00:16:42,680 the match was suspended 202 00:16:42,680 --> 00:16:45,680 due to a launch of at least 10 smoke bombs on the field 203 00:16:45,680 --> 00:16:48,680 and the picture invasion of some Brescia supporters 204 00:16:48,680 --> 00:16:51,680 who forced match officials and players to return to the changing rooms 205 00:16:51,680 --> 00:16:55,680 after about 20-25 minutes the referee returned to the field 206 00:16:55,680 --> 00:16:58,680 and having learned from the public order manager 207 00:16:58,680 --> 00:17:00,680 that the conditions were not safe to resume 208 00:17:00,680 --> 00:17:03,680 he decided to definitively suspend the match 209 00:17:03,680 --> 00:17:04,680 on the result of 1-1 210 00:17:04,680 --> 00:17:07,680 and therefore a 3-0 walkover was the result 211 00:17:07,680 --> 00:17:10,680 and Brescia are now in Stereocia 212 00:17:10,680 --> 00:17:13,680 Shambolic attitude by the fans 213 00:17:13,680 --> 00:17:14,680 quite disgusting 214 00:17:14,680 --> 00:17:16,680 I mean absolutely disgusting 215 00:17:16,680 --> 00:17:18,680 because like we said 216 00:17:18,680 --> 00:17:20,680 that a thousand times in the past two episodes 217 00:17:20,680 --> 00:17:25,680 there is absolutely no space for harassing 218 00:17:25,680 --> 00:17:28,680 any footballer or any other person in that sense 219 00:17:28,680 --> 00:17:31,680 but throwing shit at footballers 220 00:17:31,680 --> 00:17:33,680 trying to hurt footballers 221 00:17:33,680 --> 00:17:35,680 and there are your own guys on the pitch 222 00:17:35,680 --> 00:17:36,680 and you don't care if you hit them 223 00:17:36,680 --> 00:17:38,680 you don't care if you hit the others 224 00:17:38,680 --> 00:17:40,680 it's a fucking final one 225 00:17:40,680 --> 00:17:42,680 one more goal by Brescia 226 00:17:42,680 --> 00:17:44,680 and they could have fucking done it like 227 00:17:44,680 --> 00:17:46,680 it was just a very 228 00:17:46,680 --> 00:17:48,680 a strange reaction from the fans 229 00:17:48,680 --> 00:17:50,680 a very dangerous reaction from the fans 230 00:17:50,680 --> 00:17:53,680 and it's a shame that the team had to suffer a 3-0 walkover 231 00:17:53,680 --> 00:17:56,680 because of those absolute lunatics 232 00:17:56,680 --> 00:17:57,680 man, lunatics 233 00:17:57,680 --> 00:17:59,680 yeah, it's a shame, it's a real shame 234 00:17:59,680 --> 00:18:02,680 Silvio Berlusconi is dead 235 00:18:02,680 --> 00:18:04,680 aged 86 years old 236 00:18:04,680 --> 00:18:08,680 the football legend to be honest with you 237 00:18:08,680 --> 00:18:11,680 he's hyper successful in his field 238 00:18:11,680 --> 00:18:14,680 a serial winner in every single thing he's done 239 00:18:14,680 --> 00:18:17,680 super controversial figure, funny figure to be honest with you 240 00:18:17,680 --> 00:18:19,680 always entertained me 241 00:18:19,680 --> 00:18:21,680 he... device definitely 242 00:18:21,680 --> 00:18:25,680 I think if you call him a footballing legend 243 00:18:25,680 --> 00:18:28,680 or a legend in the world of football 244 00:18:28,680 --> 00:18:33,680 it discredits him as a human being 245 00:18:33,680 --> 00:18:34,680 and as a person 246 00:18:34,680 --> 00:18:36,680 not to say that obviously like you said 247 00:18:36,680 --> 00:18:38,680 he wasn't a controversial figure 248 00:18:38,680 --> 00:18:39,680 very decisive figure 249 00:18:39,680 --> 00:18:41,680 device, sorry 250 00:18:41,680 --> 00:18:42,680 divisive 251 00:18:42,680 --> 00:18:44,680 a very divisive figure 252 00:18:45,680 --> 00:18:48,680 but just so full of life 253 00:18:48,680 --> 00:18:51,680 for the entirety of whatever he did 254 00:18:51,680 --> 00:18:55,680 he always had such a personality everywhere he went 255 00:18:55,680 --> 00:18:57,680 from his meetings with Barack Obama 256 00:18:57,680 --> 00:18:59,680 Michelle Obama 257 00:18:59,680 --> 00:19:01,680 and all of these situations 258 00:19:01,680 --> 00:19:04,680 you know, but he told Obama he doesn't like his tan 259 00:19:04,680 --> 00:19:05,680 he told him 260 00:19:05,680 --> 00:19:08,680 he told him, but Michelle looks like quite a lay 261 00:19:08,680 --> 00:19:10,680 he's just such a unhinged 262 00:19:10,680 --> 00:19:12,680 absolutely unhinged 263 00:19:12,680 --> 00:19:14,680 and with that being said 264 00:19:14,680 --> 00:19:17,680 just a legend for Milan 265 00:19:17,680 --> 00:19:21,680 the success that he had with AC Milan was unbelievable 266 00:19:21,680 --> 00:19:23,680 sad to see him go 267 00:19:23,680 --> 00:19:25,680 sad to see anyone go but Silvio Berlusconi 268 00:19:25,680 --> 00:19:27,680 so full of life until the last minute 269 00:19:27,680 --> 00:19:29,680 unfortunately he's no longer with us 270 00:19:29,680 --> 00:19:30,680 condolences 271 00:19:30,680 --> 00:19:34,680 and it's a shame because the Monza project was going so well with him at the helm 272 00:19:34,680 --> 00:19:37,680 and now it's Evangelos Marinakis 273 00:19:37,680 --> 00:19:39,680 who has taken over 274 00:19:39,680 --> 00:19:40,680 he's acquired Monza 275 00:19:40,680 --> 00:19:43,680 he is the owner of Olympiacos and Nothing in Forest as well 276 00:19:43,680 --> 00:19:44,680 oh there you go 277 00:19:44,680 --> 00:19:45,680 so good budget 278 00:19:45,680 --> 00:19:48,680 so Olympiacos signing some superstars 279 00:19:48,680 --> 00:19:51,680 and Nothing in Forest buying anyone but a player with 280 00:19:51,680 --> 00:19:53,680 he should be able to but apparently once again 281 00:19:53,680 --> 00:19:56,680 another controversial figure here in Marinakis as an owner 282 00:19:56,680 --> 00:19:58,680 but we'll see what happens with Monza 283 00:19:58,680 --> 00:20:00,680 does Gagliani stay? 284 00:20:00,680 --> 00:20:01,680 Gagliani might stay 285 00:20:01,680 --> 00:20:02,680 it's up to Marinakis now 286 00:20:02,680 --> 00:20:03,680 I mean as long as 287 00:20:03,680 --> 00:20:04,680 maybe he'll sack him 288 00:20:04,680 --> 00:20:06,680 and write a one line tweet about it 289 00:20:06,680 --> 00:20:09,680 maybe he'll just cough up the cash 290 00:20:09,680 --> 00:20:13,680 and he'll leave the project in Gagliani's hands 291 00:20:13,680 --> 00:20:15,680 just one note here 292 00:20:15,680 --> 00:20:19,680 Roma have signed in Dica for four million a season 293 00:20:19,680 --> 00:20:20,680 he was called property 294 00:20:20,680 --> 00:20:21,680 I think Milan wanted him as well 295 00:20:21,680 --> 00:20:22,680 they got him for free 296 00:20:22,680 --> 00:20:24,680 he's on four million a season though 297 00:20:24,680 --> 00:20:27,680 I mean Roma have been good at picking up these free signings 298 00:20:27,680 --> 00:20:30,680 yeah I mean and they've got that pull factor 299 00:20:30,680 --> 00:20:32,680 I know they won't be having Champions League next year 300 00:20:32,680 --> 00:20:35,680 but they do have a certain Mr. Morinio at the end 301 00:20:35,680 --> 00:20:37,680 they've got players like the Balanpe Le Greeny at the team 302 00:20:37,680 --> 00:20:40,680 and yeah just their pull factor at the moment is 303 00:20:40,680 --> 00:20:43,680 stronger than it's been in the past ten years 304 00:20:43,680 --> 00:20:44,680 I would say 305 00:20:44,680 --> 00:20:45,680 yeah with the Morinio project 306 00:20:45,680 --> 00:20:46,680 yeah 307 00:20:46,680 --> 00:20:48,680 yeah I mean there's a lot of transfer news 308 00:20:48,680 --> 00:20:49,680 there's a lot of speculation 309 00:20:49,680 --> 00:20:50,680 we can't really cover everything 310 00:20:50,680 --> 00:20:51,680 it would be impossible 311 00:20:51,680 --> 00:20:54,680 every episode would become outdated immediately 312 00:20:54,680 --> 00:20:56,680 remember that one episode 313 00:20:56,680 --> 00:20:58,680 where we tried to do a transfer update 314 00:20:58,680 --> 00:21:00,680 and the second we finished something crazy happened 315 00:21:00,680 --> 00:21:01,680 who enjoyed it 316 00:21:01,680 --> 00:21:03,680 the Balanpe had joined Roma 317 00:21:03,680 --> 00:21:05,680 well just finished the entire transfer segment 318 00:21:05,680 --> 00:21:08,680 didn't mention anything about the Balanpe to Roma 319 00:21:08,680 --> 00:21:10,680 we actually said the Balanpe was being linked to Winter 320 00:21:10,680 --> 00:21:12,680 because he fucking was like 321 00:21:12,680 --> 00:21:14,680 I know we finished a court 322 00:21:14,680 --> 00:21:15,680 we were like 323 00:21:15,680 --> 00:21:16,680 ah great okay 324 00:21:16,680 --> 00:21:18,680 the Balanpe has just signed for Roma 325 00:21:18,680 --> 00:21:20,680 and I remember just slamming the laptop shut 326 00:21:20,680 --> 00:21:22,680 like we just went and had a drink like 327 00:21:22,680 --> 00:21:23,680 fuck it 328 00:21:23,680 --> 00:21:24,680 fuck it 329 00:21:24,680 --> 00:21:26,680 so we can move on to the playoffs 330 00:21:26,680 --> 00:21:27,680 yes so 331 00:21:27,680 --> 00:21:30,680 before we get into what teams made the playoffs 332 00:21:30,680 --> 00:21:31,680 what went down in the playoffs 333 00:21:31,680 --> 00:21:33,680 I do want to explain the playoffs a little bit 334 00:21:33,680 --> 00:21:35,680 because naturally we all know them from 335 00:21:35,680 --> 00:21:37,680 competitions like in the championship 336 00:21:37,680 --> 00:21:40,680 where it becomes quite a spectacle worldwide 337 00:21:40,680 --> 00:21:42,680 but actually do take place in Serie A 338 00:21:42,680 --> 00:21:44,680 as well to get promoted to Serie A 339 00:21:44,680 --> 00:21:45,680 now like I said 340 00:21:45,680 --> 00:21:47,680 Fosnone finished first 341 00:21:47,680 --> 00:21:48,680 Genoa finished second 342 00:21:48,680 --> 00:21:51,680 therefore they automatically got promoted to Serie A 343 00:21:51,680 --> 00:21:53,680 and then therefore 344 00:21:53,680 --> 00:21:57,680 third to eighth had to take part in this playoffs 345 00:21:57,680 --> 00:21:59,680 now first and sorry 346 00:21:59,680 --> 00:22:02,680 third and fourth automatically go 347 00:22:02,680 --> 00:22:04,680 to the semi-finals of the competition 348 00:22:04,680 --> 00:22:07,680 whereas the ones that finished anywhere below that 349 00:22:07,680 --> 00:22:10,680 need to play a quarter-final against each other 350 00:22:10,680 --> 00:22:12,680 now the quarter-final is played 351 00:22:12,680 --> 00:22:14,680 through one leg 352 00:22:14,680 --> 00:22:16,680 so it's essentially like a final 353 00:22:16,680 --> 00:22:18,680 whoever wins that progresses 354 00:22:18,680 --> 00:22:22,680 and then the semi-finals and the finals are played over two legs 355 00:22:22,680 --> 00:22:25,680 now what happens over these two legs is that 356 00:22:25,680 --> 00:22:28,680 if the teams finish at a stalemate on aggregate 357 00:22:28,680 --> 00:22:30,680 it doesn't go to extra time 358 00:22:30,680 --> 00:22:31,680 it doesn't go to penalties 359 00:22:31,680 --> 00:22:34,680 but the team that finished above the other team 360 00:22:34,680 --> 00:22:37,680 automatically progresses to the next round 361 00:22:37,680 --> 00:22:39,680 yeah I love how they just make up the rules 362 00:22:39,680 --> 00:22:41,680 it's like they can't stage as a different route 363 00:22:41,680 --> 00:22:44,680 it's like are you prioritizing the player for the league right now 364 00:22:44,680 --> 00:22:46,680 there's this really like grey area with it 365 00:22:46,680 --> 00:22:48,680 to me they should just make it that competition 366 00:22:48,680 --> 00:22:50,680 and just stick to that competition 367 00:22:50,680 --> 00:22:51,680 who wins wins 368 00:22:51,680 --> 00:22:53,680 but it is at the same time nicely 369 00:22:53,680 --> 00:22:56,680 take the domestic season into consideration 370 00:22:56,680 --> 00:22:58,680 you know what I mean like if Barre finished third 371 00:22:58,680 --> 00:23:01,680 and they're losing for or their draw to Venetia 372 00:23:01,680 --> 00:23:03,680 who are in eighth for example in the play-off final 373 00:23:03,680 --> 00:23:06,680 it's only fair that Barre gets some form of advantage 374 00:23:06,680 --> 00:23:08,680 now if they finished above them in the league 375 00:23:08,680 --> 00:23:12,680 I guess so it's obviously not just negatives 376 00:23:12,680 --> 00:23:14,680 that go with it there are a few positives 377 00:23:14,680 --> 00:23:16,680 and it does make sense to a certain degree 378 00:23:16,680 --> 00:23:18,680 but for the sake of the competition 379 00:23:18,680 --> 00:23:20,680 I think it would be A. far more entertaining 380 00:23:20,680 --> 00:23:22,680 and B. there's a bit more order in my opinion 381 00:23:22,680 --> 00:23:24,680 because it's like now it's this competition 382 00:23:24,680 --> 00:23:26,680 and it's this competition only 383 00:23:26,680 --> 00:23:28,680 because it's like what are we doing this for 384 00:23:28,680 --> 00:23:30,680 why don't we just promote Barre 385 00:23:30,680 --> 00:23:32,680 in that fucking case if it matters who finished above 386 00:23:32,680 --> 00:23:35,680 like Barre were five points clear of fourth place Parma 387 00:23:35,680 --> 00:23:38,680 and Kaljari just below them 388 00:23:38,680 --> 00:23:40,680 but anyway like I said 389 00:23:40,680 --> 00:23:43,680 Barre and Kaljari automatically went to the semi-finals 390 00:23:43,680 --> 00:23:44,680 of the competition 391 00:23:44,680 --> 00:23:48,680 Suttirol had to play against J-Gina over one legged 392 00:23:48,680 --> 00:23:51,680 which Suttirol won through a last-minute goal as well 393 00:23:51,680 --> 00:23:53,680 Miraculous stuff by Suttirol 394 00:23:53,680 --> 00:23:55,680 Absolutely they climbed 395 00:23:55,680 --> 00:23:59,680 they had just gotten promoted to Saria B from Saria C 396 00:23:59,680 --> 00:24:01,680 so they were going to be that motherfucking team 397 00:24:01,680 --> 00:24:03,680 that went up from Saria C to Saria A 398 00:24:03,680 --> 00:24:04,680 in the space of two seasons 399 00:24:04,680 --> 00:24:07,680 but unfortunately they did lose out to Barre 400 00:24:07,680 --> 00:24:10,680 in the semi-finals and then 401 00:24:10,680 --> 00:24:13,680 the other quarter final was played between Kaljari and Venetia 402 00:24:13,680 --> 00:24:14,680 Venetia like I said earlier 403 00:24:14,680 --> 00:24:16,680 a team that were really really fighting 404 00:24:16,680 --> 00:24:18,680 an embarrassing relegation 405 00:24:18,680 --> 00:24:19,680 and they really managed to turn things around 406 00:24:19,680 --> 00:24:21,680 only to lose against Kaljari 407 00:24:21,680 --> 00:24:24,680 unfortunately for them in the quarter-finals 408 00:24:24,680 --> 00:24:27,680 So let's start with the quarter-finals 409 00:24:27,680 --> 00:24:29,680 bro before we move on 410 00:24:29,680 --> 00:24:33,680 We'll start with Suttirol, Rek-Gina 411 00:24:33,680 --> 00:24:34,680 what did you make of this game bro? 412 00:24:34,680 --> 00:24:37,680 So I quite think that 413 00:24:37,680 --> 00:24:39,680 not only were Rek-Gina better than Suttirol 414 00:24:39,680 --> 00:24:40,680 for the entire season 415 00:24:40,680 --> 00:24:42,680 I think they were better than them in this game 416 00:24:42,680 --> 00:24:44,680 in particular 417 00:24:44,680 --> 00:24:46,680 but Suttirol just kept on going to the end 418 00:24:46,680 --> 00:24:47,680 they didn't have many chances 419 00:24:47,680 --> 00:24:49,680 but the chance they had towards the end 420 00:24:49,680 --> 00:24:51,680 they capitalized 421 00:24:51,680 --> 00:24:53,680 and their chances just kept getting better and better 422 00:24:53,680 --> 00:24:54,680 as the game progressed 423 00:24:54,680 --> 00:24:57,680 and of course Rek-Gina are managed by Pippo and Zaghi 424 00:24:57,680 --> 00:24:59,680 they were managed by Pippo and Zaghi 425 00:24:59,680 --> 00:25:01,680 because he's off to Turkey now 426 00:25:01,680 --> 00:25:02,680 oh has he? 427 00:25:02,680 --> 00:25:03,680 yeah really? 428 00:25:03,680 --> 00:25:04,680 he's off 429 00:25:04,680 --> 00:25:05,680 who's he joining in Turkey do you know? 430 00:25:05,680 --> 00:25:06,680 I'm not sure 431 00:25:06,680 --> 00:25:08,680 come to Besiktas 432 00:25:08,680 --> 00:25:10,680 yes 433 00:25:10,680 --> 00:25:12,680 Kazir Aghi's goal was a lovely moment 434 00:25:12,680 --> 00:25:14,680 of course there was just one minute remaining 435 00:25:14,680 --> 00:25:19,680 and he capitalized on a deflection from Loiciano 436 00:25:19,680 --> 00:25:22,680 and beat Kontini to secure the decisive goal 437 00:25:22,680 --> 00:25:25,680 for Suttirol with a very cool finish 438 00:25:25,680 --> 00:25:28,680 the Druzo Stadium are up to the celebration 439 00:25:28,680 --> 00:25:31,680 you know, vibes, Suttirol can't believe it 440 00:25:31,680 --> 00:25:34,680 you know, this team that suffers so much controversy 441 00:25:34,680 --> 00:25:36,680 in Italy and gets so much backlash 442 00:25:36,680 --> 00:25:38,680 because they're not considered to be Italian 443 00:25:38,680 --> 00:25:41,680 they're considered to be so northern 444 00:25:41,680 --> 00:25:43,680 they're from Bolsano I believe when you're in Bolsano 445 00:25:43,680 --> 00:25:45,680 so they're basically Austrian in fact 446 00:25:45,680 --> 00:25:49,680 okay, in that case, Como are pretty much Swiss 447 00:25:49,680 --> 00:25:51,680 I was in Como recently and I'm like 448 00:25:51,680 --> 00:25:54,680 I am a one hour walk away from Switzerland 449 00:25:54,680 --> 00:25:57,680 I actually went to Bolsano as well 450 00:25:57,680 --> 00:25:59,680 and when you get there in that area 451 00:25:59,680 --> 00:26:01,680 the signs are in German 452 00:26:01,680 --> 00:26:03,680 yeah, it's quite cool, it's crazy 453 00:26:03,680 --> 00:26:05,680 and Fjörntina have a training camp there, fun fact 454 00:26:05,680 --> 00:26:07,680 because I saw these purple flags everywhere 455 00:26:07,680 --> 00:26:09,680 and Fjörntina were training in the mountains 456 00:26:09,680 --> 00:26:11,680 in the summer 457 00:26:11,680 --> 00:26:13,680 that's Italian 458 00:26:13,680 --> 00:26:15,680 pretty beautiful 459 00:26:15,680 --> 00:26:17,680 oh, I forgot to mention bro, the most important thing 460 00:26:17,680 --> 00:26:19,680 of this episode, that Saponara won't be the new one 461 00:26:19,680 --> 00:26:21,680 of course, of course 462 00:26:21,680 --> 00:26:23,680 that should have been the first thing we mentioned 463 00:26:23,680 --> 00:26:25,680 and the intro should have been a Saponara goal 464 00:26:25,680 --> 00:26:27,680 and the cover is a Saponara sad 465 00:26:27,680 --> 00:26:29,680 I wonder where he'll go man 466 00:26:29,680 --> 00:26:31,680 oh bro, put him on caliari 467 00:26:31,680 --> 00:26:33,680 oof 468 00:26:33,680 --> 00:26:35,680 imagine 469 00:26:35,680 --> 00:26:37,680 love on ball a padula 470 00:26:37,680 --> 00:26:39,680 that's mental 471 00:26:39,680 --> 00:26:41,680 but anyway, let's move on to the next one 472 00:26:41,680 --> 00:26:43,680 the next game was actually juicier 473 00:26:43,680 --> 00:26:45,680 the next quarter finally, it was between caliari 474 00:26:45,680 --> 00:26:47,680 and Venetia and this was the battle 475 00:26:47,680 --> 00:26:49,680 of the Serie A but top scorers 476 00:26:49,680 --> 00:26:51,680 we have Gianluca La Padula 477 00:26:51,680 --> 00:26:53,680 on caliari of course 478 00:26:53,680 --> 00:26:55,680 who scored the 21 goals 479 00:26:55,680 --> 00:26:57,680 in 36 games this season 480 00:26:57,680 --> 00:26:59,680 and then you have Joelle Poyampalu 481 00:26:59,680 --> 00:27:01,680 who you've been going on about 482 00:27:01,680 --> 00:27:03,680 bro for quite a while 483 00:27:03,680 --> 00:27:05,680 quite some time 484 00:27:05,680 --> 00:27:07,680 he is the finish 485 00:27:07,680 --> 00:27:09,680 striker for Venetia 486 00:27:09,680 --> 00:27:11,680 who played 37 games and scored 19 goals 487 00:27:11,680 --> 00:27:13,680 yeah 488 00:27:13,680 --> 00:27:15,680 with a team that was 489 00:27:15,680 --> 00:27:17,680 significantly well, both teams 490 00:27:17,680 --> 00:27:19,680 both these teams were significant 491 00:27:19,680 --> 00:27:21,680 very slow starts, very negative starts 492 00:27:21,680 --> 00:27:23,680 but yeah, two 493 00:27:23,680 --> 00:27:25,680 massive players man 494 00:27:25,680 --> 00:27:27,680 for sure, for sure 495 00:27:27,680 --> 00:27:29,680 this game, Caliari started off so well 496 00:27:29,680 --> 00:27:31,680 and they really shell shocked 497 00:27:31,680 --> 00:27:33,680 Venetia and they got two early goals 498 00:27:33,680 --> 00:27:35,680 thanks to Gianluca La Padula 499 00:27:35,680 --> 00:27:37,680 just two very well taken goals 500 00:27:37,680 --> 00:27:39,680 just two, it shows that he is an experienced 501 00:27:39,680 --> 00:27:41,680 striker man 502 00:27:41,680 --> 00:27:43,680 he is not big but he will score ahead 503 00:27:43,680 --> 00:27:45,680 there like 504 00:27:45,680 --> 00:27:47,680 his positional awareness is very good 505 00:27:47,680 --> 00:27:49,680 in that box man 506 00:27:49,680 --> 00:27:51,680 and even the second goal was him capitalizing on a defensive 507 00:27:51,680 --> 00:27:53,680 error and he was so cool 508 00:27:53,680 --> 00:27:55,680 not a moment of panic 509 00:27:55,680 --> 00:27:57,680 to me it's these goals that impress me more than anything 510 00:27:57,680 --> 00:27:59,680 for sure 511 00:27:59,680 --> 00:28:01,680 the Venetia manager 512 00:28:01,680 --> 00:28:03,680 Vanuoli made some good substitutions 513 00:28:03,680 --> 00:28:05,680 in the 52nd minute on good 514 00:28:05,680 --> 00:28:07,680 meaning effective of course 515 00:28:07,680 --> 00:28:09,680 as he brought on Pierreini to replace 516 00:28:09,680 --> 00:28:11,680 Candela and he capitalized 517 00:28:11,680 --> 00:28:13,680 on Ellerson's run to head the ball 518 00:28:13,680 --> 00:28:15,680 into the net giving Venetia hope 519 00:28:15,680 --> 00:28:17,680 but that was not enough 520 00:28:17,680 --> 00:28:19,680 they got close at the end but Caliari held 521 00:28:19,680 --> 00:28:21,680 quite firm and they endured 522 00:28:21,680 --> 00:28:23,680 the 5 minutes of stoppage time 523 00:28:23,680 --> 00:28:25,680 Hirstov had a late header 524 00:28:25,680 --> 00:28:27,680 at the end but yes, it was not enough 525 00:28:27,680 --> 00:28:29,680 yeah, they started a bit too late Venetia 526 00:28:29,680 --> 00:28:31,680 in this game 527 00:28:31,680 --> 00:28:33,680 or rather Genoa started very early 528 00:28:33,680 --> 00:28:35,680 sorry, Caliari started very early 529 00:28:35,680 --> 00:28:37,680 yeah, a great strong start 530 00:28:37,680 --> 00:28:39,680 and they held 531 00:28:39,680 --> 00:28:41,680 firm 532 00:28:41,680 --> 00:28:43,680 firm, not the word 533 00:28:43,680 --> 00:28:45,680 they held it, you see me shaking my fist 534 00:28:45,680 --> 00:28:47,680 like an old man 535 00:28:47,680 --> 00:28:49,680 and they held 536 00:28:49,680 --> 00:28:51,680 what's the word 537 00:28:51,680 --> 00:28:53,680 so as we said naturally are waiting them 538 00:28:53,680 --> 00:28:55,680 in the semifinals 539 00:28:55,680 --> 00:28:57,680 where in fact 540 00:28:57,680 --> 00:28:59,680 Barri 541 00:28:59,680 --> 00:29:01,680 and Parma naturally 542 00:29:01,680 --> 00:29:03,680 so it was Suttirol 543 00:29:03,680 --> 00:29:05,680 that went to play against Barri 544 00:29:05,680 --> 00:29:07,680 I believe we can start with that one bro 545 00:29:07,680 --> 00:29:09,680 Suttirol against Barri 546 00:29:09,680 --> 00:29:11,680 so this was a very 547 00:29:11,680 --> 00:29:13,680 entertaining clash between 548 00:29:13,680 --> 00:29:15,680 Suttirol and Barri, both legs were 549 00:29:15,680 --> 00:29:17,680 of course very entertaining 550 00:29:17,680 --> 00:29:19,680 those of you who listened to I believe it was 551 00:29:19,680 --> 00:29:21,680 the episode before the last 552 00:29:21,680 --> 00:29:23,680 we were actually watching Suttirol Barri 553 00:29:23,680 --> 00:29:25,680 the first leg which was kind of 554 00:29:25,680 --> 00:29:27,680 tame up until the very 555 00:29:27,680 --> 00:29:29,680 last minute which tends to be the case 556 00:29:29,680 --> 00:29:31,680 with these playoff games you know 557 00:29:31,680 --> 00:29:33,680 they start in the 90th minute 558 00:29:33,680 --> 00:29:35,680 everyone super cautious at first they don't want to commit 559 00:29:35,680 --> 00:29:37,680 and then exactly in the 91st minute shit goes down 560 00:29:37,680 --> 00:29:39,680 and it was actually in the 561 00:29:39,680 --> 00:29:41,680 92nd minute when Suttirol 562 00:29:41,680 --> 00:29:43,680 who were holding their own against Barri 563 00:29:43,680 --> 00:29:45,680 pretty well scored a 564 00:29:45,680 --> 00:29:47,680 92nd minute winner 565 00:29:47,680 --> 00:29:49,680 and that took them of course 566 00:29:49,680 --> 00:29:51,680 with an advantage into the second leg 567 00:29:51,680 --> 00:29:53,680 but of course in the second leg 568 00:29:53,680 --> 00:29:55,680 Suttirol was always going to be a different story 569 00:29:55,680 --> 00:29:57,680 Stadio's son Nicola 570 00:29:57,680 --> 00:29:59,680 Gorge's stadium 571 00:29:59,680 --> 00:30:01,680 fuck me dude it's beautiful 572 00:30:01,680 --> 00:30:03,680 it's got 52,000 people of course 573 00:30:03,680 --> 00:30:05,680 you look at the architecture on the stadium 574 00:30:05,680 --> 00:30:07,680 each section is cut off under like 575 00:30:07,680 --> 00:30:09,680 blocks no it's 576 00:30:09,680 --> 00:30:11,680 so beautiful 577 00:30:11,680 --> 00:30:13,680 this game Suttirol did not turn up 578 00:30:13,680 --> 00:30:15,680 they came to defend their advantage 579 00:30:15,680 --> 00:30:17,680 they had zero draw on target 580 00:30:17,680 --> 00:30:19,680 Barri dominated they had 67% 581 00:30:19,680 --> 00:30:21,680 ball possession 582 00:30:21,680 --> 00:30:23,680 they actually got sent off in the 47th minute 583 00:30:23,680 --> 00:30:25,680 and Barri still managed 584 00:30:25,680 --> 00:30:27,680 to get a winner in the 70th minute 585 00:30:27,680 --> 00:30:29,680 of course it was 1-1 on aggregate 586 00:30:29,680 --> 00:30:31,680 but Barri due to a superior 587 00:30:31,680 --> 00:30:33,680 league finish went through to the 588 00:30:33,680 --> 00:30:35,680 final 589 00:30:35,680 --> 00:30:37,680 the other semifinal took place between Kalyari 590 00:30:37,680 --> 00:30:39,680 and Parma another two teams that we've seen 591 00:30:39,680 --> 00:30:41,680 very recently in Serie A 592 00:30:41,680 --> 00:30:43,680 the first match was 593 00:30:43,680 --> 00:30:45,680 a 3-2 victory for Kalyari 594 00:30:45,680 --> 00:30:47,680 in their stadium however 595 00:30:47,680 --> 00:30:49,680 it wasn't looking like that was going to be an 596 00:30:49,680 --> 00:30:51,680 outcome if you look at the first 26 minutes 597 00:30:51,680 --> 00:30:53,680 of the game or for that matter the first 598 00:30:53,680 --> 00:30:55,680 half and all the way into the second as well 599 00:30:55,680 --> 00:30:57,680 it was 600 00:30:57,680 --> 00:30:59,680 Benedicak that opened the 601 00:30:59,680 --> 00:31:01,680 scoring for Parma in the 10th minute 602 00:31:01,680 --> 00:31:03,680 apologies for butchering that 603 00:31:03,680 --> 00:31:05,680 and then Somme, Simon Somme 604 00:31:05,680 --> 00:31:07,680 in the 26th that made it too nil 605 00:31:07,680 --> 00:31:09,680 for Parma 606 00:31:09,680 --> 00:31:11,680 Kalyari struggled to adapt however a key 607 00:31:11,680 --> 00:31:13,680 substitution in bringing on 608 00:31:13,680 --> 00:31:15,680 Lovumbo really turned things 609 00:31:15,680 --> 00:31:17,680 around for them he got a goal in the 610 00:31:17,680 --> 00:31:19,680 68th minute 611 00:31:19,680 --> 00:31:21,680 Lapadoula scored a penalty in the 85th 612 00:31:21,680 --> 00:31:23,680 minute and then Lovumbo got the second 613 00:31:23,680 --> 00:31:25,680 of the night in the 89th to get a 614 00:31:25,680 --> 00:31:27,680 very very dramatic victory 615 00:31:27,680 --> 00:31:29,680 for Kalyari over this 616 00:31:29,680 --> 00:31:31,680 Parma team 617 00:31:31,680 --> 00:31:33,680 Lovumbo definitely changed the game bro 618 00:31:33,680 --> 00:31:35,680 his intensity was next level 619 00:31:35,680 --> 00:31:37,680 he caused confusion in that Parma 620 00:31:37,680 --> 00:31:39,680 box 621 00:31:39,680 --> 00:31:41,680 it was two goals for Lovumbo 622 00:31:41,680 --> 00:31:43,680 and he won the penalty which Lapadoula 623 00:31:43,680 --> 00:31:45,680 converted 624 00:31:45,680 --> 00:31:47,680 ridiculous 625 00:31:47,680 --> 00:31:49,680 ridiculous stuff by him 626 00:31:49,680 --> 00:31:51,680 it was a shame to see Buffon injured and substituted 627 00:31:51,680 --> 00:31:53,680 in the first half because I would have liked 628 00:31:53,680 --> 00:31:55,680 to see how who would have dealt with those 629 00:31:55,680 --> 00:31:57,680 with the penalty especially 630 00:31:57,680 --> 00:31:59,680 with those shots by Lovumbo 631 00:31:59,680 --> 00:32:01,680 but yes on to an exciting second leg 632 00:32:01,680 --> 00:32:03,680 where Parma just couldn't do it 633 00:32:03,680 --> 00:32:05,680 Ranieri's manager shut up shop 634 00:32:05,680 --> 00:32:07,680 Parma only managed one 635 00:32:07,680 --> 00:32:09,680 shot on target 636 00:32:09,680 --> 00:32:11,680 Kalyari actually managed four shots on target 637 00:32:11,680 --> 00:32:13,680 had 14 attempts in total 638 00:32:13,680 --> 00:32:15,680 they stopped the majority of possession 639 00:32:15,680 --> 00:32:17,680 but Kalyari held firm and they threw to the final 640 00:32:17,680 --> 00:32:19,680 exactly I mean there was only one approach 641 00:32:19,680 --> 00:32:21,680 to take over here I don't think they did it 642 00:32:21,680 --> 00:32:23,680 to a ridiculous extent of shutting up shop 643 00:32:23,680 --> 00:32:25,680 like the same way Soutiroll did 644 00:32:25,680 --> 00:32:27,680 they were playing they were 645 00:32:27,680 --> 00:32:29,680 in the game in fact you see they did have 646 00:32:29,680 --> 00:32:31,680 14 shots they had four of them 647 00:32:31,680 --> 00:32:33,680 on target so it wasn't 648 00:32:33,680 --> 00:32:35,680 you know it's not like they just 649 00:32:35,680 --> 00:32:37,680 went in there and then shut up shop 650 00:32:37,680 --> 00:32:39,680 completely it was still a competitive game 651 00:32:39,680 --> 00:32:41,680 I think Kalyari 652 00:32:41,680 --> 00:32:43,680 overall were better than Parma 653 00:32:43,680 --> 00:32:45,680 in this game in particular 654 00:32:45,680 --> 00:32:47,680 yes yes I agree with you 655 00:32:47,680 --> 00:32:49,680 and then we go on bro to the finals 656 00:32:49,680 --> 00:32:51,680 yes I think 657 00:32:51,680 --> 00:32:53,680 Kalyari Bari was a 658 00:32:53,680 --> 00:32:55,680 very fair final 659 00:32:55,680 --> 00:32:57,680 considering the quality on 660 00:32:57,680 --> 00:32:59,680 both teams and very unique qualities 661 00:32:59,680 --> 00:33:01,680 for both of these 662 00:33:01,680 --> 00:33:03,680 sides it's interesting when you look at the fact 663 00:33:03,680 --> 00:33:05,680 that Bari who automatically 664 00:33:05,680 --> 00:33:07,680 were in the semi-finals after a third place 665 00:33:07,680 --> 00:33:09,680 finished played one lesser 666 00:33:09,680 --> 00:33:11,680 game than Kalyari who had to play 667 00:33:11,680 --> 00:33:13,680 Venetian in the quarter-finals initially 668 00:33:13,680 --> 00:33:15,680 is that a good thing is it a bad thing 669 00:33:15,680 --> 00:33:17,680 would you rather play the extra game for 670 00:33:17,680 --> 00:33:19,680 momentum or rest your legs 671 00:33:19,680 --> 00:33:21,680 it could be it could have given 672 00:33:21,680 --> 00:33:23,680 them more momentum more 673 00:33:23,680 --> 00:33:25,680 it could have gotten them more into the flow of things 674 00:33:25,680 --> 00:33:27,680 but of course playing football 675 00:33:27,680 --> 00:33:29,680 at this time over here in Italy 676 00:33:29,680 --> 00:33:31,680 can be very exhausting because of course it gets hot 677 00:33:31,680 --> 00:33:33,680 no it's easier to play when it's kind of 678 00:33:33,680 --> 00:33:35,680 fresh I still 679 00:33:35,680 --> 00:33:37,680 think however resting is more important 680 00:33:37,680 --> 00:33:39,680 no like Kalyari risked injuries 681 00:33:39,680 --> 00:33:41,680 they have to give everything you know 682 00:33:41,680 --> 00:33:43,680 they're playing an extra game 683 00:33:43,680 --> 00:33:45,680 against a team that's fighting for their lives 684 00:33:45,680 --> 00:33:47,680 exactly there you go 685 00:33:47,680 --> 00:33:49,680 so that's it yeah absolutely 686 00:33:49,680 --> 00:33:51,680 so naturally the final was over two legs 687 00:33:51,680 --> 00:33:53,680 as well which is incredibly 688 00:33:53,680 --> 00:33:55,680 strange just incredibly strange 689 00:33:55,680 --> 00:33:57,680 the first leg of 690 00:33:57,680 --> 00:33:59,680 the playoff final ended in a 1-1 draw 691 00:33:59,680 --> 00:34:01,680 La Padola 692 00:34:01,680 --> 00:34:03,680 opened the scoring 693 00:34:03,680 --> 00:34:05,680 for Kalyari and Kalyari did 694 00:34:05,680 --> 00:34:07,680 a great job defending for the entirety 695 00:34:07,680 --> 00:34:09,680 of the game they did look like they were 696 00:34:09,680 --> 00:34:11,680 going to get away with a victory 697 00:34:11,680 --> 00:34:13,680 however in the 95th minute 698 00:34:13,680 --> 00:34:15,680 Bari won a penalty 699 00:34:15,680 --> 00:34:17,680 the manager brought on 700 00:34:17,680 --> 00:34:19,680 Antenutri the veteran Antenutri 701 00:34:19,680 --> 00:34:21,680 just for the penalty and he scored 702 00:34:21,680 --> 00:34:23,680 it with the last kick of the game 703 00:34:23,680 --> 00:34:25,680 and his first kick of the game 704 00:34:25,680 --> 00:34:27,680 one and only fucking kick of the game 705 00:34:27,680 --> 00:34:29,680 the kick of Antenutri 706 00:34:29,680 --> 00:34:31,680 it's also worth mentioning 707 00:34:31,680 --> 00:34:33,680 that Kedyra actually missed a penalty 708 00:34:33,680 --> 00:34:35,680 Radunovic in the first half had an incredible 709 00:34:35,680 --> 00:34:37,680 performance 710 00:34:37,680 --> 00:34:39,680 Bari won a penalty 711 00:34:39,680 --> 00:34:41,680 Kedyra stepped up to take it 712 00:34:41,680 --> 00:34:43,680 and Radunovic actually saved it 713 00:34:43,680 --> 00:34:45,680 brilliantly over there 714 00:34:45,680 --> 00:34:47,680 not the best game for Kedyra, not the best 715 00:34:47,680 --> 00:34:49,680 playoffs for Kedyra in general 716 00:34:49,680 --> 00:34:51,680 yeah I think he has a curse when I watch him play 717 00:34:51,680 --> 00:34:53,680 he just doesn't seem up to the task 718 00:34:53,680 --> 00:34:55,680 man but everyone raves about him 719 00:34:55,680 --> 00:34:57,680 you see the amount of goals that he had the season before 720 00:34:57,680 --> 00:34:59,680 he was the top scorer 721 00:34:59,680 --> 00:35:01,680 so when we were watching him 722 00:35:01,680 --> 00:35:03,680 in the World Cup we were like 723 00:35:03,680 --> 00:35:05,680 ah yes Seriaba definitely Seriaba 724 00:35:05,680 --> 00:35:07,680 he scored 17 goals 725 00:35:07,680 --> 00:35:09,680 in 31 games in Seriaba 726 00:35:09,680 --> 00:35:11,680 yes the moroccan Italian 727 00:35:11,680 --> 00:35:13,680 man who represented morocco 728 00:35:13,680 --> 00:35:15,680 25 years old 729 00:35:15,680 --> 00:35:17,680 young guy has room for improvement 730 00:35:17,680 --> 00:35:19,680 exactly in the second leg 731 00:35:19,680 --> 00:35:21,680 yep the second leg Kaliari 732 00:35:21,680 --> 00:35:23,680 secured promotion with a last 733 00:35:23,680 --> 00:35:25,680 minute goal from Pavoletti 734 00:35:25,680 --> 00:35:27,680 Bari who were obviously 735 00:35:27,680 --> 00:35:29,680 favorites going into this because 736 00:35:29,680 --> 00:35:31,680 they finished higher than Kaliari 737 00:35:31,680 --> 00:35:33,680 they drew away 738 00:35:33,680 --> 00:35:35,680 at Kaliari Stadium 739 00:35:35,680 --> 00:35:37,680 and it's no easy task for Kaliari to visit 740 00:35:37,680 --> 00:35:39,680 the San Nicolas Stadium 741 00:35:39,680 --> 00:35:41,680 keep in mind that the last minute goal typically comes 742 00:35:41,680 --> 00:35:43,680 with a bunch of motivation 743 00:35:43,680 --> 00:35:45,680 a bunch of momentum 744 00:35:45,680 --> 00:35:47,680 a bunch of you see what happens when we believe 745 00:35:47,680 --> 00:35:49,680 and Bari had all of that 746 00:35:49,680 --> 00:35:51,680 but Kaliari were just very professional 747 00:35:51,680 --> 00:35:53,680 very focused 748 00:35:53,680 --> 00:35:55,680 Bari hit the post twice 749 00:35:55,680 --> 00:35:57,680 but Kaliari held their own 750 00:35:57,680 --> 00:35:59,680 and they did end with 751 00:35:59,680 --> 00:36:01,680 last minute drama 752 00:36:01,680 --> 00:36:03,680 yes 753 00:36:03,680 --> 00:36:05,680 bless you bro 754 00:36:05,680 --> 00:36:07,680 holy shit the worst time 755 00:36:07,680 --> 00:36:09,680 Bari did look like the better team 756 00:36:09,680 --> 00:36:11,680 throughout the game 757 00:36:11,680 --> 00:36:13,680 they did look like they were gonna get it done 758 00:36:13,680 --> 00:36:15,680 however that's not how the playoff finals works 759 00:36:15,680 --> 00:36:17,680 that's not how football works 760 00:36:17,680 --> 00:36:19,680 it was Pavoletti 761 00:36:19,680 --> 00:36:21,680 the super sub who came on 762 00:36:21,680 --> 00:36:23,680 and scored Avoli 763 00:36:23,680 --> 00:36:25,680 towards the end of the game with one of the last 764 00:36:25,680 --> 00:36:27,680 of the game 765 00:36:27,680 --> 00:36:29,680 after Zappa absolutely destroys his man 766 00:36:29,680 --> 00:36:31,680 what a goal 767 00:36:31,680 --> 00:36:33,680 it was a brilliant goal 768 00:36:33,680 --> 00:36:35,680 what a brilliant showing 769 00:36:35,680 --> 00:36:37,680 they silenced that San Nicolas stadium 770 00:36:37,680 --> 00:36:39,680 the scenes were immaculate 771 00:36:39,680 --> 00:36:41,680 Ranieri balling 772 00:36:41,680 --> 00:36:43,680 his eyes out the players going 773 00:36:43,680 --> 00:36:45,680 absolutely nuts what a game 774 00:36:45,680 --> 00:36:47,680 what a finish 775 00:36:47,680 --> 00:36:49,680 it always finishes like this 776 00:36:49,680 --> 00:36:51,680 you look at last year 777 00:36:51,680 --> 00:36:53,680 it was between 778 00:36:53,680 --> 00:36:55,680 Monza and Pisa 779 00:36:55,680 --> 00:36:57,680 between Monza and Pisa 780 00:36:57,680 --> 00:36:59,680 and that was mental 781 00:36:59,680 --> 00:37:01,680 there was Torre Grossa playing for Pisa 782 00:37:01,680 --> 00:37:03,680 Torre Grossa playing for Pisa 783 00:37:03,680 --> 00:37:05,680 who was there? 784 00:37:05,680 --> 00:37:07,680 Git Kier got the goals for Monza over there 785 00:37:07,680 --> 00:37:09,680 like last season was mad 786 00:37:09,680 --> 00:37:11,680 the season before was mad 787 00:37:11,680 --> 00:37:13,680 the season Hellas Verona had Patzini as their superstar 788 00:37:13,680 --> 00:37:15,680 they kept bringing him on 789 00:37:15,680 --> 00:37:17,680 at the end they got them promoted 790 00:37:17,680 --> 00:37:19,680 my god 791 00:37:19,680 --> 00:37:21,680 they're always so entertaining these games 792 00:37:21,680 --> 00:37:23,680 and you see things that you would have never seen before 793 00:37:23,680 --> 00:37:25,680 like for example the players 794 00:37:25,680 --> 00:37:27,680 the barry players 795 00:37:27,680 --> 00:37:29,680 were driven onto the pitch 796 00:37:29,680 --> 00:37:31,680 the bus pulled up 797 00:37:31,680 --> 00:37:33,680 by the bench and the players got off the 798 00:37:33,680 --> 00:37:35,680 bus and onto the pitch 799 00:37:35,680 --> 00:37:37,680 immaculate scenes man 800 00:37:37,680 --> 00:37:39,680 honestly it's like you're watching 801 00:37:39,680 --> 00:37:41,680 the quality obviously isn't like a Champions League final 802 00:37:41,680 --> 00:37:43,680 but the atmosphere is definitely 803 00:37:43,680 --> 00:37:45,680 like a Champions League final 804 00:37:45,680 --> 00:37:47,680 yes man these are the best games 805 00:37:47,680 --> 00:37:49,680 in my opinion to watch 806 00:37:49,680 --> 00:37:51,680 absolutely so now we have 807 00:37:51,680 --> 00:37:53,680 Frosinone, Geno and Caliari 808 00:37:53,680 --> 00:37:55,680 all in Serie A 809 00:37:55,680 --> 00:37:57,680 and we wave goodbye 810 00:37:57,680 --> 00:37:59,680 to Spezia 811 00:37:59,680 --> 00:38:01,680 Cremonese 812 00:38:01,680 --> 00:38:03,680 and Sampdoria 813 00:38:03,680 --> 00:38:05,680 another season with Geno and Caliari 814 00:38:05,680 --> 00:38:07,680 in the league and obviously it's nice to see a club 815 00:38:07,680 --> 00:38:09,680 like Frosinone coming back after so long man 816 00:38:09,680 --> 00:38:11,680 yeah it's been a hot 817 00:38:11,680 --> 00:38:13,680 minute for Frosinone man 818 00:38:13,680 --> 00:38:15,680 but they're finally back they've got their own 819 00:38:15,680 --> 00:38:17,680 bomber over there Frosinone 820 00:38:17,680 --> 00:38:19,680 because it's kind of complicated 821 00:38:19,680 --> 00:38:21,680 Molattieri 822 00:38:21,680 --> 00:38:23,680 the 22 year old Italian 823 00:38:23,680 --> 00:38:25,680 scored 12 goals 824 00:38:25,680 --> 00:38:27,680 in the 29 games 825 00:38:27,680 --> 00:38:29,680 yes he's not bad 826 00:38:29,680 --> 00:38:31,680 looks like Anne Frank 827 00:38:31,680 --> 00:38:33,680 that was gonna say looks a bit like Adrian Brody 828 00:38:33,680 --> 00:38:35,680 does kind of look 829 00:38:35,680 --> 00:38:37,680 a bit like Anne Frank if I'm being honest 830 00:38:37,680 --> 00:38:39,680 there we go 831 00:38:39,680 --> 00:38:41,680 so there's quite a few bombers for those fantasy football players 832 00:38:41,680 --> 00:38:43,680 and
