• 2:42
  Speaker 1: supposed to be the piscata friend of Pinetto. They're playing

  Speaker 1: You you definitely know more than me.
• 2:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a derby and I don't know the official name,
• 2:53
  Speaker 2: but I was calling it the coastal about a derby.
• 2:57
  Speaker 2: I've actually been to Pinetto, which was why I looked
• 3:00
  Speaker 2: into if there was a team there. So I'm always
• 3:02
  Speaker 2: curious about like cities and towns and what teams are there.
• 3:07
  Speaker 2: You know how in Italy there's teams across the country.
• 3:10
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I went to Pinetto. It's awesome. They've got
• 3:12
  Speaker 2: pine trees and beaches, which is why they're called Pinetto.
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: So I was just doing a little deep dive on
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: Google and I found out about the team family play
• 3:20
  Speaker 2: in Seti a Chi. They're promoted in twenty twenty three,
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: so for the first time in their club history, so
• 3:26
  Speaker 2: they were promoted to Chi. Otherwise they played Seti A
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: D and below. And yeah, they're playing Piscato this Friday.
• 3:32
  Speaker 2: So that's exciting and a lot of you are probably
• 3:35
  Speaker 2: more familiar with Piscata culture. They have more of a presence,
• 3:38
  Speaker 2: especially on Twitter as well. Actually the adamin's great, it's
• 3:42
  Speaker 2: really funny. But yeah, so it's an exciting little game
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: both the coastal towns in a brutsaw.
• 3:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, we kind of have a bit of a soft
• 3:50
  Speaker 3: spot for Pishcata because like our family comes from. They're like, well,
• 3:53
  Speaker 3: my grandmother is where the relation between Nick and I
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: occur type of things. So it's like like they're from
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: like right near Piscata. So if yeah, so if they
• 4:01
  Speaker 3: ever do well, it's it's a win for us type
• 4:04
  Speaker 3: of thing. So it's a team that we can agree
• 4:05
  Speaker 3: on for Calcho. That's that's that's the number one thing
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: besides the national teams. It's a team that we can
• 4:10
  Speaker 3: finally like see head to head with like it's finally like,
• 4:13

• 4:41
  Speaker 1: Speaking about small clubs, Johnny, I don't know if you knew,
• 4:44
  Speaker 1: but where's this going? No, no, I'm not talking about
• 4:46
  Speaker 1: Happily No No a small club, but the club from
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: you know, our hometown, our family's hometown, Santangelo. It's called
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: Nato Kuri Angulana. They playing Incholensa. But Masmodo and Fabio
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: Gross both played for this team really, so they had
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: a connection to the six World Cup.
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: That's that's crazy. I didn't know that. Honestly speaking, I don't.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: The only Echelenza team that I follow is doing for
• 5:12
  Speaker 3: my No Nos hometown, my my non Luigi's team. That's
• 5:15
  Speaker 3: a aud ex Chevinada. Because it's funny enough because it's
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: like everyone's last name is Choffey and that time it's
• 5:20
  Speaker 3: my mother's side name. And it's just like it's like
• 5:23
  Speaker 3: you go, you go there, you go to the stadium.
• 5:25
  Speaker 3: It's like Statio Canada Roberto Trophy, like it was just
• 5:28
  Speaker 3: it's one of those like weird. I'm like, fuck does
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: the Canada thing come from? And it's the Canadians like
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: all like a lot of the immigrants that moved to
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: Canada just basically helped donate for the team there in
• 5:37
  Speaker 3: the field and beautiful field because it's like because you've
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: been to Italy many times, like like like these small
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: little pitches or towns, it's like like like not only
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: you're playing a pitch, but there's like a gorgeous like
• 5:45
  Speaker 3: scenic backdrop to like every little arena, every little stadium,
• 5:49
  Speaker 3: Like it's just it's beautiful, Like it's it makes you
• 5:51
  Speaker 3: what it makes you think, like what where where else
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: would I play? Like where else can I get the
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: view like this?
• 5:57
  Speaker 2: No, it's true, I always think that as well. I'm
• 5:59
  Speaker 2: like if I were to be a professional player, like
• 6:01
  Speaker 2: I would be playing in Italy, like it would be
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: no question. There's just any honestly, any division, like you said,
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: there's so many beautiful fields.
• 6:10
  Speaker 3: And speaking of which, don't you play competitive soccer as well?
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: I do?
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I played at the collegiate level and semi professional
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: level as well.
• 6:18
  Speaker 1: Nice.
• 6:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so you never tried out for like a didn't you, like,
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: didn't you ever like try out for an Italian team, like,
• 6:23
  Speaker 3: especially now that they're developing the women's program over there,
• 6:26
  Speaker 3: I mean, yeah, it's for you.
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: It's definitely taking flight. Actually, recently, Vanezia Femi Neil opened
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: an Instagram page and they play in SETI Chi of
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: the women's division. I didn't even know they had a
• 6:38
  Speaker 2: women's team, so, like it's really cool to see it
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: like kind of popping out out of nowhere. But yeah,
• 6:43
  Speaker 2: there's lots of women's teams there.
• 6:44
  Speaker 1: Now.
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: I'm returning from injury, so my plans kind of got
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: derailed a little bit, so I mean, we'll see what
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: happens going forward, but fair enough.
• 6:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's that's still crazy that there's actually a city
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: at sea as well, like like it's just it just
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: it's amazing how much it's grown. I followed, like like
• 7:02
  Speaker 3: I thought like when it was starting to grow, like
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: a follow the Roman and the napoly pages organically obviously speaking,
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: and it's just it's it's crazy how much it's like
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: they like it's nice to see that they support like
• 7:13
  Speaker 3: those programs too, and it's like it's just like there's
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: some good quality called soccer there too. Like it's just
• 7:19
  Speaker 3: it's it's like I've seen some of these Like sometimes
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: you see these highlight goals and I'm like, holy shit,
• 7:24
  Speaker 3: like what a shot in the half? You just freak
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: out like like a like a like a hard ass
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: angle and it just like curves for like I don't know,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: like there's some there's some impressive soccer at that level.
• 7:32
  Speaker 3: Sometimes it's like it it makes it makes you think
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: it's like, you know what the fleet it can grow
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: the game even more because there's it's like it's like
• 7:38
  Speaker 3: women's hockey. There's a lot of interesting hockey to watch,
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: a lot of interesting soccer to watch. It's people just
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: need to give it a shot. I think that's all
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: it is, and then they'll get hooked.
• 7:46
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. Yeah, well said I agree, and.
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: I I saw even this weekend there was a lot
• 7:52
  Speaker 1: of talk, a lot of problems because there was the derby.
• 7:56
  Speaker 1: You've a entered derby in City of Men. I don't
• 7:59
  Speaker 1: know if you heard about this. Lex. Apparently inter got
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: a got a penalty late in the game. They won
• 8:05
  Speaker 1: three two, and so all the all the rivalry, all
• 8:08
  Speaker 1: the referee discussions that we see on the men's side,
• 8:11
  Speaker 1: you know, transferred over to the limit's site. So I guess,
• 8:15
  Speaker 1: I guess these things and they know no boundaries.
• 8:17
  Speaker 2: Uh, but you know what, I love that. I always
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: said that or if we see like, you know, all
• 8:22
  Speaker 2: of course all in good fun, but like a female
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: soccer player getting roasted on Twitter or something, I'm like,
• 8:28
  Speaker 2: it's back. The game is so back. They started doing
• 8:32
  Speaker 2: like ref discussion, they start roasting rival players like you know,
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: that's when the game's picking up. So yeah, I love that,
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: Actually love hearing that.
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: Uh speaking about ve another small team right now. No,
• 8:46
  Speaker 1: I'm kidding.
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: I was going to make the joke. I was going
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: to make the joke, but I did.
• 8:49
  Speaker 1: It, perfect, perfect transition.
• 8:52
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: Obviously big news. Look, Lex, we we haven't really had
• 8:55
  Speaker 1: a chance to talk about it on this podcast since
• 8:59
  Speaker 1: Montes firing, Tudor coming in. You know, just give me
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: what were your initial impressions when when you heard the news.
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: Initially, I thought it was a great move. I was
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: totally on page with getting rid of Malta. I think
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: they should have got rid of him sooner, actually probably,
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: But I think clearly Atalanta match was like definitely evident
• 9:19
  Speaker 2: that he had fallen out with the locker room and
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: that it just wasn't going to be saved the rest
• 9:24
  Speaker 2: of the season. And then that Fiorentina match, I mean,
• 9:28
  Speaker 2: the kind of lineup he put out and the way
• 9:30
  Speaker 2: the team performed, and you know, the lack of changes
• 9:33
  Speaker 2: that he made in the game or the strange substitutions,
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: it was clearly that he was clearly checked out. So
• 9:39
  Speaker 2: I definitely think that bringing in Tutor was great in
• 9:42
  Speaker 2: terms of having like a juve legend, somebody with that
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: juve dna that can bring that back to this group
• 9:47
  Speaker 2: of players and help forge that mentality. I thought that
• 9:50
  Speaker 2: was a great decision. I really liked Tutor in the
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: short term. I'm not convinced going forward though, just you know,
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: based on past performance and history as he's done at
• 10:00
  Speaker 2: past clubs. But for right now, you know, not too
• 10:04
  Speaker 2: mad about it. How about you, Nick, What are your thoughts?
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: Honestly pretty much the same, Like I was a bit
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: surprised with the timing. I thought that they would just
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: led them out to ride out the season, especially, you know,
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: considering they're already out of the cold Patalitia, already out
• 10:21
  Speaker 1: of Champions League. You know, you know, Jenny could attest
• 10:25
  Speaker 1: for this, because I've talked about that on this podcast.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: I really thought it'd be the end of season things. So,
• 10:31
  Speaker 1: you know, I guess you could say it was a
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: pleasant surprise at the timing, you know, I know there
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: was rumors for Mancini and all this, so I was
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: I was surprised that it was Tudor right away, but
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: I think overall it was the right move, And like
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: you said, it really does seem like it's a short term,
• 10:46
  Speaker 1: a short term move. Obviously at the end of the day,
• 10:49
  Speaker 1: it you know, it sucks at the same time because
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: it feels like you've asked started a new cycle again
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: and it's what going to be how many coaches since
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen? You got, we had Sadi Pilo, alagree H
• 11:04
  Speaker 1: obviously Manta Tudor and then whoever whoever comes next at six,
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: So that that's the frustrating part. But I guess we've
• 11:10
  Speaker 1: got to be patient.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: I think it's surprising too, because I I beyond I'll
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: be honest, it's like, when was the last time you
• 11:18
  Speaker 3: vent This actually fired a coach midseason and not during
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: the break, like during the during the transfer. I'm gonna
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: look that up because I feel like it's a bit
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: out of character for them. I feel like like it
• 11:28
  Speaker 3: doesn't So one thing we discussed many weeks ago just
• 11:30
  Speaker 3: to catch up to speed Lex is about because we
• 11:32
  Speaker 3: had we had we had Skanga on and we we discussed,
• 11:35
  Speaker 3: you know, like there's the structure of juvent this and
• 11:37
  Speaker 3: the direction that they're gonna be going in, and I
• 11:40
  Speaker 3: felt like it's a very bit uncharacteristic of them right
• 11:43
  Speaker 3: now that they're a team that does not have like
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: Nick said it best, they don't have an identity scenes
• 11:47
  Speaker 3: right now and it and it feels like there's no
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: direction that the team is going, like there's no there's
• 11:53
  Speaker 3: no there's no plan. And I felt like, okay, well,
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: look it's Mata's first ever season. I think I personally
• 11:58
  Speaker 3: believed that he should maybe just get a little bit
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: of a pass right now. Like I understand like the
• 12:03
  Speaker 3: results were being a bit horrific. I understand, and obviously
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Juventus has has a big you know, they have they
• 12:09
  Speaker 3: have big expectations, no matter who's in the driver's seating,
• 12:12
  Speaker 3: no matter who's in charge. But don't you find it's
• 12:15
  Speaker 3: it's like foot well, it's I guess it's a two
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: part of question type of thing. But it's like, don't
• 12:18
  Speaker 3: you find that he did deserve a bit of a
• 12:20
  Speaker 3: leash in terms of like look, what what where the
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: state of the team is because it's not just it's
• 12:25
  Speaker 3: not just a matap problem. There's a lot of other
• 12:28
  Speaker 3: problems that are going on. And the second thing is
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: that isn't it just okay to have maybe just like
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: a season to two of like, you know what, let's
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: just take the season or two just to like let's
• 12:37
  Speaker 3: just reassemble everything, you know, like Louvich project, they don't
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: pan out, So we need to figure out that striker situation,
• 12:44
  Speaker 3: we need to build a new back line, we need
• 12:46
  Speaker 3: to you know, establish a good core mid again, like
• 12:49
  Speaker 3: stuff like that. Like don't you think like it's okay
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: as well to I'll have like maybe that season or
• 12:52
  Speaker 3: two just to re establish things or rearrange them stuff.
• 12:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, So starting off with the first part, I certainly
• 12:59
  Speaker 2: agree that the issue goes way beyond Malta, and it's
• 13:02
  Speaker 2: been an issue that's been following the club for a
• 13:05
  Speaker 2: few years now, and it comes from the top, honestly,
• 13:09
  Speaker 2: ownership president. I mean, after that issue happened with the
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: financial maneuvering and basically the entire board had to resign.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: You brought in people that were more, you know, financially oriented,
• 13:21
  Speaker 2: not so much focused on the sporting aspects of the
• 13:24
  Speaker 2: club in the direction. So there's a lack of direction
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: from up top kind of with also a bit of
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: a non present president as well, So I think that
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: that definitely plays a role in it. I haven't been
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: a huge fan of Juntuli and the decisions that he's
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: been making. Either for squad construction. I'd say we'd have
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: talent in the squad, but I believe that it's constructed weird.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: It's kind of like a bunch of great puzzle pieces
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: that don't really fit very well together. So I think
• 13:50
  Speaker 2: that also definitely played a role into the struggle that
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Malta had at the club one hundred percent, because you
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: look at Bologna in the season he had with Bologna,
• 14:00
  Speaker 2: Bologna having a fantastic project that's set up by their
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: sporting directors at Tori and the continuation of the club's
• 14:07
  Speaker 2: success just points to that. But I think that Italiano
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: outdoing Malta also points to the fact that, yeah, maybe
• 14:15
  Speaker 2: the project of Bologna in general is what helped Molta
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: last season. Right, Not to say that Malta is not
• 14:21
  Speaker 2: a good coach still, because I agree with you. I
• 14:24
  Speaker 2: think that at Uve what happened really it was when
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: he had the falling out with the locker room. That
• 14:29
  Speaker 2: was something that I think, like basically the club had
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: to cut ties at that point because there was just
• 14:33
  Speaker 2: no way to come back from that, you know. And
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: I think that Malta, if you were to go to
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: another club, you may find success there, for sure. There's
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: many of We talked about this on the AJAC as well.
• 14:44
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of coaches that have failed, right, Like
• 14:47
  Speaker 2: almost every coach you can think of has failed at
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: some point in their coaching career, right. So, I mean
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: I've been saying online. I don't know if you saw
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: what your opinions are on this, but I'm like, I
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: can see him taking over Gasparini at Atalanta like I
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: can happen in there, Like it's just it's a strong project,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: the way it's it's well run. And maybe because he
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: kind of reminds me of like the stubbornness of Gasperini
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: and also the little bit of like a abrasive personality
• 15:14
  Speaker 2: with the players. I don't know what you think about that,
• 15:17
  Speaker 2: but yeah, I certainly agree with you.
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: I can kind of see it, honestly speaking, especially that
• 15:24
  Speaker 3: Atalanta has always been one of those like unorthodox type
• 15:26
  Speaker 3: of teams and systems. So I feel like that's that's
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: when Mata thrives. If he thrives, when it's you just
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: can have fun with it and just you know, go,
• 15:35
  Speaker 3: I guess try out something new, and I and and
• 15:38
  Speaker 3: just just before we move on to the second part
• 15:40
  Speaker 3: of the question, I like the whole like mention of
• 15:42
  Speaker 3: Italiano because last year it seemed like the inverse like
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: Italiana was starting to like like like you know, like
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: flutter away, whereas Mata was on the rise and everyone's like,
• 15:50
  Speaker 3: oh it was ine. Was Italiano just a you know,
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: like a one season wonder type of thing and stuff,
• 15:55
  Speaker 3: And then because he wasn't having a good time with
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: Nandina and then now look at him with Bologna. It's
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: just it's their their fourth they're on what a six
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: game win speak or something like that right now. Or
• 16:03
  Speaker 3: Selni is just on fire, definitely, Like don't know why
• 16:08
  Speaker 3: he's not getting called up for the AZUITI even even
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: I was questioning Spalletti's decision on that, and you know,
• 16:15
  Speaker 3: like it's just it's just like they they're danger dangerous
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: and uh, I mean for us, like for us montrealer
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: is you know, it's like all right, Saputo, like like
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: you're clearly leaving behind the Montreal team because you're clearly
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: trying to be capitalized right now, and Bologna is like
• 16:29
  Speaker 3: like big, big, big, like push on it. But anyways, Yeah,
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: so the second part of the question, you know, would
• 16:34
  Speaker 3: it be okay? Like I understand there's a whole big
• 16:36
  Speaker 3: expectation when you vent this, but just to reiterate, do
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: you think it's okay to have maybe that season or two?
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: I was like, hey, you know what, maybe we just
• 16:41
  Speaker 3: need a retool or restructure because right now there's like
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: nothing going on. No.
• 16:46
  Speaker 2: I agree with that for sure. I mean we've spoken
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: about this as well, but look at like first seasoning
• 16:51
  Speaker 2: zagie Ri inte versus what they've built since then. So
• 16:54
  Speaker 2: I certainly think there is something to be said about patients.
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: And I feel like in the cultural world, the football
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: world in general, there's just a lack of patients for
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: managers in general. I feel like the life expectancy of
• 17:07
  Speaker 2: managers is cutthroat, you know, like it's a couple of
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: bad games and you're being questioned already, right, So I
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: think that there is something to be said about that,
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: for sure. I would say that maybe Nick can attest
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: to this as well, but patients would be granted as
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: long as there are those foundations and you can see
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: the project, you know what I mean. Like I'm okay
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: with waiting and like you said, maybe having to to
• 17:31
  Speaker 2: scrap a season almost at that point, as long as
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: I'm seeing, you know, the beginnings of that project. I
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: saw online as well that that first season in Doggie had.
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: What saved him was the UCL run that they made, right,
• 17:43
  Speaker 2: So it's like there was still something in there that
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: was able to salvage his position overall. Yeah.
• 17:52
  Speaker 1: No, that's a good point, and and it almost feels
• 17:55
  Speaker 1: like when you think back, maybe that's also a reason
• 18:00
  Speaker 1: pure Low got fired there. You know, it was a
• 18:03
  Speaker 1: good season, all things considered, but it was a point
• 18:07
  Speaker 1: in which that foundation was already you know, starting to
• 18:11
  Speaker 1: go right, you know, the whole Ronaldo saga, this and that.
• 18:15
  Speaker 1: So you know, that's a good point. You know, also
• 18:18
  Speaker 1: to Johnny's point, I think you've a does have some
• 18:22
  Speaker 1: pieces in place to build a foundation. I think right now, personally,
• 18:27
  Speaker 1: I would build the whole team around Turroum. You know,
• 18:30
  Speaker 1: if he's if he's the guy, I love watching him.
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: He's become one of my favorite players to watch. The
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: way he's you know, box to box all over the place.
• 18:40
  Speaker 1: He's he never stops strutting. I think it was I
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: think it was at the end of the game versus Genua.
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: I think it was it was this game, that game
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: where he had a run right at the end, he
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: almost scored, and then you know, once the final whistle blue,
• 18:54
  Speaker 1: he just you know, lied down, took a breath. You
• 18:56
  Speaker 1: could tell he just gives it as all. So that's
• 18:58
  Speaker 1: you know, that's one player where they could build around.
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: Obviously Bramer is another. But like so, do you think
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: there's a player in attack that they could build around
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: right now or do you think they have to go
• 19:08
  Speaker 1: out and get someone to build that foundation?
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: Well, I think the answer probably most of our bay
• 19:14
  Speaker 2: fans would have is Yieldaz And I still also feel
• 19:18
  Speaker 2: strongly about that. I have this conversation with my brother
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: a lot, and we talk about how Yielda's is UVa's
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: most important asset right now, like he's someone that should
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: be protected by the management in upper club management because
• 19:33
  Speaker 2: you know, even if you were to try to sell
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: him for financial gain right now, you're selling him prematurely,
• 19:39
  Speaker 2: like if you know what I mean, like if that
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: was the purpose of having him. But I also, in
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: my opinion, would love to keep him at the club
• 19:46
  Speaker 2: and use his value of pitch for our project. So
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: I would say Yieldaz would be my player in attack
• 19:52
  Speaker 2: to build around. And I was thinking about it and
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: I was like, Wow, it seems like both Doucheon and
• 19:57
  Speaker 2: Kola Mwani are going to come to the end of
• 20:00
  Speaker 2: their time at the club that we are really going
• 20:03
  Speaker 2: to be in need of a striker this summer. Can
• 20:06
  Speaker 2: you think of anyone that you can see coming like
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: both of you, I don't know what a d is
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: that your pick?
• 20:14
  Speaker 3: I mean they're in the lead for him right now
• 20:16
  Speaker 3: according to rumors.
• 20:17
  Speaker 1: I mean in all honestly, in all honesty, I wouldn't.
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: Maybe I haven't seen enough of out of David at
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: the club level. He's a great player. I would absolutely
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: take upon youve, but I don't know if he's the
• 20:29
  Speaker 1: player they want to build her out, and especially now,
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: how held is he probably twenty four.
• 20:36
  Speaker 3: I thinks a little bit older and I think he's
• 20:37
  Speaker 3: twenty six.
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: I like Jonathan David. I think he's fantastic, but I
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: don't like how much he's been speaking highly of Barcelona
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: all the time. And I don't know if you've noticed,
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: but that seems to be like his goal. He seems
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: to be kind of like edging himself towards there. So
• 20:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know about that. I was like, I don't
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: know about that one.
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: I mean, it's going to happen with Scalia. He's his
• 21:01
  Speaker 3: goal was to hit Real Madrid one day, and I
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: guess he's not plays a stepping stone so as well,
• 21:05
  Speaker 3: he's another small club. Like I'm kidding, but at this point,
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: it's like City has become basically the turnover factory. It's
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: it's more like we get these players either we scout
• 21:15
  Speaker 3: them very young, or you know, we take them when
• 21:18
  Speaker 3: they're undervalued and underappreciated, and we just spurned them into
• 21:22
  Speaker 3: like these really great players that pretty much they're big
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: clubs are going to come in and just buy. And
• 21:27
  Speaker 3: it's back then it was like teams like melan Inter
• 21:30
  Speaker 3: and Youvey were able to retain these players, and I'm
• 21:32
  Speaker 3: talking as a matter of fact, we're able to retain
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: these guys and those teams were the end destinations. Now
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: it's not just a juvent this situation. It's almost all
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: the teams that said, yeah, basically become a stepping stone club.
• 21:43
  Speaker 3: Every club is basically a step like they're no longer
• 21:46
  Speaker 3: the end points, they're more of the stepping stone club.
• 21:48
  Speaker 3: I think it goes back to the Galacticos era of
• 21:50
  Speaker 3: Real Madrid. I think that era of the game ruined,
• 21:54
  Speaker 3: ruined soccer. I think it's just because that's basically what
• 21:57
  Speaker 3: it has. Like, I get like they just if they
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: establish themselves as the final destination of soccer and then
• 22:04
  Speaker 3: obviously the prem's got the money now and you know
• 22:07
  Speaker 3: all that stuff. But that's neither here nor there. But yeah,
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: it's unfortunate to see. Though, it's unfortunate to see.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: No, it's very true, and I think maybe it comes
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: for Setia sporting directors and managers to look into getting
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: Italian players. That's why we say, like they also try
• 22:26
  Speaker 2: to get homegoing Chrome players for that reason because they've
• 22:29
  Speaker 2: grown up with Setia and they're more likely to stay
• 22:32
  Speaker 2: right in that sense, and they have a passion for
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: the clubs and value their importance. Same with finding players
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: within the Setia or players that have like grown up
• 22:41
  Speaker 2: playing there is another good way to build your squad,
• 22:43
  Speaker 2: especially like you said, if you want to try and
• 22:45
  Speaker 2: avoid the lure from other leagues. Yeah, it's definitely a
• 22:50
  Speaker 2: league wide issue for Setiya. I'd agree with that for sure.
• 22:53
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but they need to really reinvest in their youth
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: development because it's it's rare that you see younger Italian
• 22:59
  Speaker 3: players break in to the rosters, and it's and they
• 23:03
  Speaker 3: they need to figure out something with this, like like
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: they can't just road away constantly constantly and Saidiya be
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: like he just like I think Modino did it best
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: when he was managing Roma, Like he was actually taking
• 23:12
  Speaker 3: academy players and just using them. He was just using
• 23:15
  Speaker 3: them in Cidy like he didn't need He's like, I'm
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: not like he didn't want to loan them out and
• 23:19
  Speaker 3: like like for like Zelefsky for example, you know, like
• 23:22
  Speaker 3: he was a player that he really uh like brought
• 23:24
  Speaker 3: like wanted to use in the academy. My god, there
• 23:27
  Speaker 3: was another player and I'm drawing a blank on Oh
• 23:30
  Speaker 3: my god, come back to me. I can't remember right now,
• 23:33
  Speaker 3: but all in all, it's like there's not many was
• 23:37
  Speaker 3: it was another one, but there's not the one I was,
• 23:40
  Speaker 3: but it's not the one I was thinking of. I'm
• 23:41
  Speaker 3: gonna it's gonna come to me and what's what's gonna happen?
• 23:44
  Speaker 3: As it company right before bed. I'm just gonna be
• 23:45
  Speaker 3: right now and be like it always it's always like that.
• 23:48
  Speaker 3: But anyways, all in all, I think it has to
• 23:50
  Speaker 3: come down with the development of the youth and really
• 23:53
  Speaker 3: teams need to start taking chances on these kids. Like
• 23:57
  Speaker 3: they're never gonna be adjusted to the competitive of setia.
• 24:01
  Speaker 3: If they're not getting minutes, they need to get the minutes.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: That's that's that's you know, maybe take a bump or
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: two with them. You know, it's like, Okay, maybe it
• 24:09
  Speaker 3: might be like a big like you know, adjustment period
• 24:11
  Speaker 3: for them, and they might look horrible, but it's getta.
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: They're gonna have to grow with it, you know, just
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: surround them with a good team and they'll be okay.
• 24:19
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 24:19
  Speaker 3: That's that's that's just me rambling being an old man
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: about it.
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: No, you're right. I literally have the same conversation with
• 24:27
  Speaker 2: my brother, you know. He pointed out as well. He
• 24:29
  Speaker 2: was like, which setia clubs have like a young player
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: that's you know, one of their main players, main starters,
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: main aspects of their club. And I was trying to
• 24:42
  Speaker 2: think about it, and I could only really think of
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: Como with Nico Paz and Diao, and I was like,
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: and you know, they have a younger, modern manager with
• 24:51
  Speaker 2: CESC Fabergas, and it probably plays a role in it
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: as well. And maybe someone you know, I think we Spanish, correct,
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: I think, right, Fabrica.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: I got check Paprica. No, I'm sorry to think of
• 25:04
  Speaker 3: check Papa.
• 25:06
  Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, someone from a different mentality, different
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: country where he was playing football right or in that system.
• 25:16
  Speaker 2: So I think maybe that plays a role in it.
• 25:19
  Speaker 2: But otherwise maybe like Miretia Genoa. But I really couldn't
• 25:22
  Speaker 2: think of, you know, yield as a juve. But there
• 25:24
  Speaker 2: wasn't a lot of clubs that had really were featuring
• 25:27
  Speaker 2: young players.
• 25:30
  Speaker 3: And player was thinking of was actually up, Yeah he was.
• 25:36
  Speaker 3: He was the other player was thinking of of, like
• 25:38
  Speaker 3: like there was somebody else and I just couldn't remember
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: the life for me, But yeah there was the other player,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: and there we go. At least I got the answer. Now, Nick,
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: did you ever find out if you vent it was
• 25:48
  Speaker 3: the last time you went this? Fired a manager mid season.
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: Two thousand and nine, Ferrera. Ferrera was fired for I
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: have to I exited the tab. Let me look this
• 25:59
  Speaker 1: up again.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Was the main club manager? Was that when Comte took over?
• 26:05
  Speaker 1: No, no, uh for that. I was fired for Zacaroni
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: and then came down the Eddy the season after twenty
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: ten to twenty eleven, and then Conte started twenty eleven
• 26:13
  Speaker 1: twenty twelve. So it was definitely the banter era for
• 26:18
  Speaker 1: for youve.
• 26:21
  Speaker 3: He started when he Knight Scudetti right afterwards like what he.
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: I mean?
• 26:27
  Speaker 3: Then Milan want.
• 26:29
  Speaker 2: And then.
• 26:32
  Speaker 3: Exactly lapily constantly second Jesus Christ, always a bridesmaid, never
• 26:37
  Speaker 3: to bribe.
• 26:41
  Speaker 1: Back back to the Tudor talks obviously started off well
• 26:45
  Speaker 1: one nothing yield is it felt like it? You know?
• 26:48
  Speaker 1: It was it was written that he had to score,
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: considering you know, the falling out with Manta, how he
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: was benched. He comes and he starts scored twenty fifth
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: minute one nothing game and if all like the most
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: lagry style game.
• 27:02
  Speaker 3: But you know what, you know what I liked.
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: They continued attacking, they didn't sit back. I know they
• 27:07
  Speaker 1: couldn't get their second goal. They had a good chance
• 27:09
  Speaker 1: at the end, but that's what I saw. I mean,
• 27:12
  Speaker 1: that's what I like to see. Obviously, you know you
• 27:15
  Speaker 1: can't draw too much from uh one game under two door,
• 27:18
  Speaker 1: but uh, you know what what we we thought. What
• 27:21
  Speaker 1: were your thoughts about that?
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: Lex agreed with your opinion as well. I think you'll
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: just getting that goal was meant to be, as you said,
• 27:30
  Speaker 2: so that was really nice. It was a fantastic goal
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: by the way, Wow, it was incredible, his rent. I
• 27:35
  Speaker 2: think that you've probably should have had more goals in
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: that game. They deserved more, for sure, but I think
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: it was a mixture of lack of finishing as well
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: as Leali having a great game for Genoa as well.
• 27:47
  Speaker 2: But yeah, overall, was happy with the win. We needed
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: the three points, honestly, that's all that matters. At this point.
• 27:54
  Speaker 1: If you look at the if you look at the standings,
• 27:56
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you could see the screenshot on
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: this show screen, but it's tight. We got Bologna at
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: fifty six and then You've's right behind at fifty five,
• 28:07
  Speaker 1: and that's with where eight games left in the season
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: they play each other. If I'm not mistaken, they play
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: each other. Is it the last match day or the
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: second to last match day? I could be wrong. Let
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: me just look this up, but yeah, right now it's
• 28:22
  Speaker 1: looking like Italy won't get they played each other. May fourth,
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: won't get the fifth Champions League spot. I know there's
• 28:30
  Speaker 1: you know, a bunch of numbers involved with with this,
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: so you've really has to fight for the top four.
• 28:36
  Speaker 1: I mean, what do you what do you think about
• 28:38
  Speaker 1: you's chances to get into that top four by season's end?
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: Honestly, like looking at this table, pretty much Okay, sorry Johnny,
• 28:50
  Speaker 2: but Roma did lose Dibala. I know that breaks your
• 28:54
  Speaker 2: heart as much as it breaks mine, But I think
• 28:57
  Speaker 2: that also maybe they would have been making elite push
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: with Dibala. Now I'm thinking they're not going to be
• 29:04
  Speaker 2: as big of a deal to worry about Lasio has
• 29:07
  Speaker 2: been on a decline for a while. I think not
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: so worried about them. I would say pretty much, Yeah,
• 29:15
  Speaker 2: it's catching Bologna. Bologna has a difficult schedule the rest
• 29:20
  Speaker 2: of the season. It's kind of funny. They actually will
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: probably determine the top four and the title. Like Bologna
• 29:27
  Speaker 2: will probably be the team that decides that they play.
• 29:29
  Speaker 2: I think they play everybody like above them in that
• 29:32
  Speaker 2: final part of the season. You can maybe verify and
• 29:35
  Speaker 2: check it out, but as far as I know, so
• 29:39
  Speaker 2: we'll see. I mean, Yuve just has to take care
• 29:41
  Speaker 2: of their own job and just get three points the
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: rest of the season, got to win it out.
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you're right. So they played Napolis, Bologna plays Napoli Atalanta.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Enter the next three weeks, they have the second league
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: of the Corportale semi final and then they play the
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: two bianc teams Udine's a Juve. Then they play Milan
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Fiorantina and finish off of Genera. So they probably have
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the toughest schedule to.
• 30:04
  Speaker 3: I mean, you're you're talking smack about Roma, but I
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: mean last I checked her undefeated in the last fourteen games.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: I think there's like what like five or six clean
• 30:12
  Speaker 3: sheets out of those things. I mean, I don't know
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: there's some magic, but yet he as usual, I don't
• 30:18
  Speaker 3: think stick around for the summer though. I think he's
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: just just a band aid for a thing. But but yeah,
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: like it's just you know what, careful what you say.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: Even though the Bala is injured and he's out for
• 30:28
  Speaker 3: the season, which yes, it does suck. It trusts me.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: I wish like I could just find consistency and never
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: have to deal with all those injuries. But I don't know.
• 30:37
  Speaker 3: I mean, they played this weekend. This weekend's gonna be
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: a very it's going to be a very big game.
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: So yeah, perfect, perfect transition. I mean I think we
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: should all give our opinions on this. Yeah. Also you've
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: been quiet your thoughts about this.
• 30:52
  Speaker 3: Here I am talking up Roma so much and watch
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: it be like a nice one to one draw. Honestly,
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: I believe that. I I think I think honestly it's
• 31:01
  Speaker 3: probably it's it's not gonna be. I I don't think
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Roma's got that offensive firepower to score more than one.
• 31:08
  Speaker 3: Like besides, like maybe behind full games year and I
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: think was the Monsa game they scored four against them,
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: No watch bad. Yeah, it was the monster game that
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: they scored four against them. You know, like they're not
• 31:17
  Speaker 3: a team I see scoring maybe more than one against Juventus,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: even though like Juventus is going through like they're going
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: like Tutor came in and you know they're they're I
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: guess they're going like I guess just getting their bearings together.
• 31:28
  Speaker 3: I don't think still it's a strong team. I don't
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: think they get more than one behind them and vice versa.
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Just the Roma has been defensively on fire since Ranieri
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: came in, So I think, like I said, Juventus always
• 31:42
  Speaker 3: has like always has that potential, like you never count
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: them out from scoring a bowl or two. And so
• 31:48
  Speaker 3: my mentality when every play against ev it's like you
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: think of the game as you've already winning win zero
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: and you have to like try to come up from there.
• 31:53
  Speaker 3: And it just always seems that way, especially when they
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: play against the Roma. So I'm but this one, I'm
• 31:58
  Speaker 3: feeling more of a one to one, uh one one draw. Uh.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: Roma doesn't have anything going on this week besides that game,
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: so they're gonna be coming in with a pretty good roster,
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: especially that their Europa League run is done and everything.
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: So I honestly think it's gonna be a good one.
• 32:15
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be it's gonna be a fun it's gonna
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: be it's gonna be a battle. I think it's gonna
• 32:19
  Speaker 3: be a battle. I don't think it's gonna be anything
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: that like. It's just like teams are gonna take it easy.
• 32:24
  Speaker 3: I think it's just gonna be hard for a hot,
• 32:26
  Speaker 3: hard fought match. Man Cheeni's gonna get a red card
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: at some point because he always does. He always does
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: something stupid, And as long as it doesn't happen in
• 32:36
  Speaker 3: the eleventh minute, it's fine. If it happens at the
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: eighty ninth, that's that's okay. It's watch him get like
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: I following the eighty ninth. Then new base scores on
• 32:44
  Speaker 3: on the free kick or something, and then there you go.
• 32:46
  Speaker 3: You're one zerally just became one one. I don't bold prediction.
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: Let me just go with that.
• 32:52
  Speaker 4: Don't pull a humbles and you know, race man, that
• 32:56
  Speaker 4: was he Is he still on the team, Yeah, yes, okay, does.
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: He play sometimes? Yes, he's he's he's more of a
• 33:06
  Speaker 3: sub more often than a starter than a starter.
• 33:08
  Speaker 1: But seems like he's just enjoying life in Italy more
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: than everything.
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: I mean, who doesn't enjoy life in Italy? Besides people
• 33:15
  Speaker 3: need to work. But yeh, but that's I'm just saying, like,
• 33:22
  Speaker 3: it's let's not go there, you guys. Let's let's ask
• 33:27
  Speaker 3: the Uventini what are you first?
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: I mean, yeah, I'm gonna be like, you know that guy,
• 33:35
  Speaker 2: the picture of the guy on Twitter where he's holding
• 33:37
  Speaker 2: the flag and like half his uve half his that's
• 33:41
  Speaker 2: gonna be me. I'm kidding.
• 33:43
  Speaker 3: The two two it was that the two gangs just
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: holding up there their color.
• 33:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah, the two gags holding the same flag. No, I can't.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: I can't say that. I'll never beat the allegations that
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: I'm like also a Roma fan.
• 33:54
  Speaker 3: But actually have a favorite player. That's fine, Yeah, thank you.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: I watched a ton of Roma this season, to nobody's surprise.
• 34:03
  Speaker 2: But they have a solid squad and they are, like
• 34:07
  Speaker 2: you said, not to mess around with. This run they've
• 34:09
  Speaker 2: been on has been very impressive. So we'll see what happens.
• 34:14
  Speaker 2: I don't know. I think, yeah, maybe one one draw
• 34:16
  Speaker 2: or maybe somebody winning by one goal would probably be
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: like where I would land. But it's definitely be an
• 34:22
  Speaker 2: interesting watch. Yeah, I'm looking forward to it.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: How about you, Nick, First, I'll just say if even
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: if you do support Roma, you wouldn't be the only
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: person here with two teams in the city one a
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: person who supports one team. We're becoming the minority year.
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: But no, all seriousness, all seriousness. Honestly, if there's one
• 34:49
  Speaker 1: thing about this UVA team this season is they're so
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: hard to predict. So you know, I could see a
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: good one one draw, but if you've a wins, I
• 34:59
  Speaker 1: could see it as another one nothing win. And honestly,
• 35:03
  Speaker 1: like one thing I kind of expect out of Tudor
• 35:07
  Speaker 1: is you know a lot of people when Pierlo was coach,
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: he was the assistant coach, right, and a lot of
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: people kind of said this, he was pretty much giving
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: as much input as Pierlow. So I don't want it
• 35:21
  Speaker 1: to be like Pierlo season where we had to sweat
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: out wins and you know Marata had three off sides,
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: So I don't want it to be that way. But
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: you know, we did kind of see a glimpse of
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: it in the in the Genera game where they defend
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: by attacking, but they're not going all out attack, where
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: they're gonna lose on a counter attack, kind of like
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: what was happening with Manta right So you know, if
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: they do in it, I could see like I one nothing,
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: a two one win, but no, for sure, for sure
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: it's a good game. Yeah, no, that's it.
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: I just need to manifest for Anta Cacoeli to score
• 36:02
  Speaker 3: because I went up against Masismo Riccio, longtime fan of
• 36:05
  Speaker 3: the show, friend of ours. He's out all Manista too,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: and even though it would be exciting for him, it
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: would be bittersweet that because we're going up against each other.
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: I have Pelagerini. I need him to score for Fanta
• 36:15
  Speaker 3: reasons because he's fighting for first place in the league
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: and I'm trying to just get back up there, so
• 36:20
  Speaker 3: I want to benefest that. Just at least Pelagini scoring
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: a goal. Please, let's let's let him be the goal scorer.
• 36:27
  Speaker 3: We'll see about that because he has and I don't
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: want to brain. I don't need Brain to score.
• 36:36
  Speaker 1: Canadian legend Brian Christante Right now, you know, as you've
• 36:43
  Speaker 1: a fan, it could feel like we're kind of the
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: boring stage of the season. You don't know, cope Italian
• 36:47
  Speaker 1: no Champions League, but there's there's the Club World Cup
• 36:50
  Speaker 1: at the end of the season, and you know, when
• 36:52
  Speaker 1: we had Anthony's kind of gone, you know, he said,
• 36:55
  Speaker 1: you know, send send the reserves. He wasn't looking forward
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: to it at all. I don't know what your thoughts
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: about that. What do you do you expect anything from
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: this Club World Cup? Even in terms of quality, It's
• 37:06
  Speaker 1: hard to say.
• 37:07
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't know. I don't know what kind
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: of squads clubs are going to be sending there. Like
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure like who will be seeing even playing
• 37:16
  Speaker 2: for Youve.
• 37:18
  Speaker 3: I don't know.
• 37:18
  Speaker 2: It's I don't even know it's Tutor's contract including the
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: Club World Cup.
• 37:24
  Speaker 1: That I have no clue because even when you know
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: he was announced, you know, I was reading like, oh,
• 37:31
  Speaker 1: it's until the World Clup or it's to the World Cups.
• 37:34
  Speaker 1: So does that mean it's before the World Cup? Is
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: it after the World Cup? I would think it's after
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: just because like they finished the season mid May, the
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: Club World Cup starts a month after. Are they really
• 37:48
  Speaker 1: going to go out and get a new coach in
• 37:49
  Speaker 1: a month?
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah?
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: So yeah, that that part I'm confused about.
• 37:55
  Speaker 2: Interesting, Okay, Yeah, I mean it all depends depends is
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: our coach, depends how this next stint with the tutor goes.
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: There's a lot of open ended questions I think surrounding
• 38:05
  Speaker 2: Club World Cup.
• 38:06
  Speaker 3: For sure, they're just waiting for Conte to have a
• 38:09
  Speaker 3: falling out with and then just kind of swoop in
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: and get him again in the summer.
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: No, because literally I think that's their plan, like genuinely.
• 38:16
  Speaker 3: No, it honestly is. And that's especially after this winter
• 38:19
  Speaker 3: transfer window when you're pushing for the school that though,
• 38:21
  Speaker 3: and then you lose your star winger just like that.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: I don't know, he's like, yeah, no, I'm out by
• 38:26
  Speaker 3: and you're like fuck like like and I can't. We
• 38:29
  Speaker 3: all knew Kevin at Skella was gonna leave one day.
• 38:31
  Speaker 3: We all knew this, Like you'd be delusional to think
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: he was gonna stay at the club, like like like
• 38:36
  Speaker 3: that's why I like, like I have to say, like
• 38:38
  Speaker 3: I love napoly Twitter, but sometimes naple Twitter just really
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: buys into dreams. I'm like, guys, we need to understand
• 38:44
  Speaker 3: we've been disappointed more than we've been seeing dreams. So
• 38:47
  Speaker 3: we have to understand, like a guy like about at
• 38:48
  Speaker 3: Skelia is not going to stay as much as we like,
• 38:51
  Speaker 3: you know, we love him and we shower him with affection.
• 38:53
  Speaker 3: So when that happened, I'm like, oh, it's actually happening now.
• 38:56
  Speaker 3: I thought it was going to be happening a little
• 38:57
  Speaker 3: bit later on, Like I knew it was always going
• 38:59
  Speaker 3: to be a step in stone. But anyways, yeah, so
• 39:01
  Speaker 3: that's not getting too much to replace him, you know,
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: like not getting like very like it just seemed like
• 39:07
  Speaker 3: a little bit of patchwork and stuff, and you know,
• 39:09
  Speaker 3: in this constant fight with with Inter, but the difference
• 39:13
  Speaker 3: is that you're playing one game a week versus Inter
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: was playing two to three a week, and you're still
• 39:18
  Speaker 3: not above them.
• 39:19
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: It's that's that's that's what's probably gonna Costnopoli content at
• 39:24
  Speaker 3: the end of the year, unless the Lentis comes in
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: and he's like, you know what, the actually doesn't pinch
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: pennies as much as he used to. He's like, you
• 39:30
  Speaker 3: know what, fine, if you if you want to stay
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: for a stick around, we'll get some players that you
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: want and then we'll go from there. And I think
• 39:35
  Speaker 3: that's what Lukaku was. Essentially. Lukaku was basically a conte grap.
• 39:38
  Speaker 3: It was just like, yeah, let's that's just it means
• 39:40
  Speaker 3: it worked in the past before, it's gonna work now.
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: And uh, it's been not bad. I actually don't hate
• 39:45
  Speaker 3: Lukaku Monopoly to.
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: Sday, Like honestly, it's been paying off. He's been scoring
• 39:51
  Speaker 2: a lot of game winning goals as well. I don't
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: know the exact number, but I remember the commentator mentioning
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: it in a game as well that he's actually been
• 39:59
  Speaker 2: responsible for a lot of the three points that you
• 40:02
  Speaker 2: guys have picked up along the way.
• 40:03
  Speaker 3: So let's see here.
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: Actually let's yeah, take a peek at that.
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm gonna take a peek at that. But it's
• 40:08
  Speaker 3: essentially it's it. That's what it is. For me. It's
• 40:12
  Speaker 3: more like if they don't make the scowdett though, if
• 40:16
  Speaker 3: they don't win it, it's probably going to take some
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: negotiating between the Lentis and Conte, because I really do
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: expect you to come knocking on his door once again.
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: And and even he even like in his first press
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: press conference, you know, like he's he's like when the
• 40:31
  Speaker 3: fans are making the anti ub chances, like I appreciate them,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: but like I'm a Uventino and like you know what.
• 40:37
  Speaker 3: I respect that. I totally totally respect that. It's he
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: played for the club, he managed the club, you know,
• 40:42
  Speaker 3: like he has an issue at the club. So that's
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: that's a that's a manager. You can never say never
• 40:47
  Speaker 3: for you. That's that's what it is. And I think this,
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: and I think the safety and stability for him is
• 40:53
  Speaker 3: uh like like like like that's that's basically what it like.
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: It's comfort zone. So for him, if he ever wants
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: to get into a comfort it's team. It's always going
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: to be even that's I don't know, that's the way
• 41:02
  Speaker 3: I see it.
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, absolutely, I'm curious, Nick and Johnny who your early
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: picks are for the scood at the winner.
• 41:13
  Speaker 1: I think I think I said Inter from the beginning
• 41:16
  Speaker 1: of the season. I think, Jenny, I think we had
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: written it down.
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I know you wrote it down. So check the
• 41:21
  Speaker 3: pins and check the pins in the group.
• 41:23
  Speaker 2: Chat, and then who do you think? Now? I guess
• 41:26
  Speaker 2: while you're looking for that still Inter.
• 41:31
  Speaker 3: It's looking obvious that it's going to be Inter. I mean,
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: I don't think there. I don't think they're going to
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: slip up a game or two. I think the last
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: week or no, sorry, two weeks ago when when Napolely
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: drew instead of winning that game was it was against
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: Uh it was it Como that they drew ash Bad.
• 41:52
  Speaker 3: Let me see, I think it was Como. Where's my
• 41:53
  Speaker 3: brain just shutting down today? I was looking up one
• 41:56
  Speaker 3: thing and my brain was just thinking with something else.
• 41:59
  Speaker 3: Uh uh it game my bad? They lost to Coomo
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: that was even worse. But like those two games, those
• 42:06
  Speaker 3: two games are gonna be the reason why I inter
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: who when's this year? Not happily? Because those games needed
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: to be wins and that that makes the difference for
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: being three points behind to basically being two points ahead.
• 42:19
  Speaker 3: That's that's what basically costed them that.
• 42:23
  Speaker 2: I think Inter as well at this point, like you said,
• 42:26
  Speaker 2: it's hard to see them dropping points just because of
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: their schedule as well. They have a pretty easy schedule
• 42:32
  Speaker 2: to the end of the season, So I mean, I know,
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: maybe Champions League being thrown in there, you could argue maybe,
• 42:40
  Speaker 2: but I can't see it.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: Jenny, both me and you predicted Interschudento. You actually predicted
• 42:49
  Speaker 1: you've in fifth and I predicted you've ined fourth.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: So me look at that.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: Wow, not too many alls.
• 43:01
  Speaker 1: We we all predicted Melan in the top three. I mean,
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: I don't blame us, but uh, I think these sports
• 43:08
  Speaker 1: are unpredictable. But yeah, Intro would be back to back.
• 43:14
  Speaker 1: I mean, do you about Champions League? Do you see
• 43:15
  Speaker 1: inter I know we're getting off topic here and we're
• 43:18
  Speaker 1: talking about inter City, but do you do you see
• 43:21
  Speaker 1: them make your run in Champions League?
• 43:24
  Speaker 2: Hope not? I hate watching were kidding go Byron, Like,
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: I mean, we'll see. I think Byron has got quite
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: a few injuries, so it will certainly be interesting.
• 43:38
  Speaker 1: Yeah. Yeah, well you know what best case in scenario
• 43:41
  Speaker 1: they make the final Champions League final, they tire themselves out,
• 43:44
  Speaker 1: lose the scudetto and then lose the Champions League final.
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: Oh, you're right, you know that that's the ideal path.
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: That's so. I just looked it up quickly on transfer market.
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: If I counted as correctly, out of the eleven goals
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Locaco has scored for Anopoli, six of them have been
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: game winners. I think it's something it's something like that
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: if I counted these things correctly, so cool. I didn't
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: know it was that high. That's actually crazy.
• 44:08
  Speaker 2: Yeah, because until that commentator pointed out when I was
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: watching the stream, I didn't realize either, and it's like.
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: Every game he scored, Napoli has won.
• 44:18
  Speaker 2: Every game this season. Will underrated.
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: I think he is too, like everyone always gives him
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: crap and it's just like because he does have his
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: moments of just pure stupidity. I still say my favorite
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: moment moment was the Europa League Final between Yeah, but
• 44:36
  Speaker 3: just the slow motion of his eyes just going like
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: it's the funniest thing. Like twice this guy in a
• 44:45
  Speaker 3: cup final, especially in the Champions League final, he blocks
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: the shot that was going in, Like like this guy
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: is like you could be the most like dominant like
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: forward ever because that you're not winning the ball off
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: of him. His turnarounds are just phenomenal, Like if he's
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: if he's if he's dug deep with the ball, good
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: luck get in and off him. And it's like he's
• 45:04
  Speaker 3: the best at that. And then he just got these
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: boneheaded moments. We doesn't know where to place himself when
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: the play gets tight, you know what I mean, Like
• 45:10
  Speaker 3: when when when there's like when there's like twenty guys
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: in the box and you're just like all fighting for
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: the ball, he doesn't know where to place himself. He
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: just for some reason he places himself in front of
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: the net like this isn't hockey, but like you're not
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: supposed to flect him in.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: So funny man.
• 45:27
  Speaker 3: Anyways, I just hope that like that doesn't happen for
• 45:30
  Speaker 3: Napoli where big rom like costs him like some kind
• 45:32
  Speaker 3: of cup final championship. Now watch me say that. And
• 45:35
  Speaker 3: then I watched the last last match day then apolet
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: he's got a chance with the and and and Lukatku
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: is gonna ruin if if nostro Janis happens again, as
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: for usual, I will definitely find a way to get
• 45:49
  Speaker 3: a rope and just hang out. I'm just kidding. I'm kidding.
• 45:53
  Speaker 3: I'm totally kidding. It's for a joke, ladies and gentlemen.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: It's a joke, I swear to God.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 46:02
  Speaker 1: I mean we I think we've you know, uh, pretty
• 46:06
  Speaker 1: much talked about about it all. Like the last thing
• 46:08
  Speaker 1: I want to talk about because today there was Copie
• 46:11
  Speaker 1: Italie semifinals, the first Lakes yesterday and today, Uh Bologna.
• 46:16
  Speaker 1: I know you have a saw spot for Bologna as well,
• 46:18
  Speaker 1: Vicenzo Taliana. If you go on your Twitter, you're Taliano
• 46:23
  Speaker 1: from his bedsities. So three not things. You know, obviously,
• 46:28
  Speaker 1: you know it ain't over until it's over, but it
• 46:31
  Speaker 1: they're looking comfortable. Bologna not so much inter between intern
• 46:36
  Speaker 1: Meline we have today one to one. I don't know
• 46:38
  Speaker 1: if you had a chance to watch these these two games.
• 46:41
  Speaker 2: I watched Ample Bologna and as you said, yes, Itelliano,
• 46:44
  Speaker 2: that's my guy. I don't think everyone knows now at
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: this point, but honestly, Bologna really seems to be hitting
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: her stride. They're peaking at a great time in the season,
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: so I think that's really going to play into their
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: hands well. And I mean could say like, hey, it's
• 46:59
  Speaker 2: just Ample, but then again, they knocked out Vish, so
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: I'm like, so, I don't know, we really say that, right,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: So I think that was certainly a fantastic win. I
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: think Telliano just the connection he has with the fans,
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: and he's loved loved by the club and the players.
• 47:15
  Speaker 2: There's been multiple players Calabria or Celini that's spoken really
• 47:18
  Speaker 2: highly of him that I'll just point to how well
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: it's going there. And then as for Milan Ether today
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: I didn't catch too much the game but I did
• 47:26
  Speaker 2: see chelen Ollu's goal, which was fantastic. Unfortunately, I was like, man,
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: she scored a great goal. But yeah, I think I
• 47:35
  Speaker 2: wasn't surprised that Milan put up a good fight because
• 47:38
  Speaker 2: it is a cup game, and you know, that's just
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: it's different. You know, it's different than playing in the league.
• 47:43
  Speaker 2: You could have a lot of things happening in the
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: league that aren't going well. As soon as you switch
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: to a different competition, it's like there's something different to
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: play for. So I wasn't surprised by that at all.
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: But if either of you watched, if you want to
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: fill in a bit more on what happened in the
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: game today, I didn't.
• 47:59
  Speaker 1: Like.
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: I just want to add that it's a derby essentially,
• 48:01
  Speaker 3: that too, like just yet you organically elevate your game
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: in a derby, you know, like it's like these players
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: like to be those like those heroes in those moments.
• 48:12
  Speaker 3: You know, doesn't Vlavich also have a decent scoring record
• 48:15
  Speaker 3: against it during the derby, doesn't actually have a good
• 48:18
  Speaker 3: amount of goals versus then I feel like as if
• 48:21
  Speaker 3: it's every time there's a derby, Dahlia like he's always
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: scoring at least one goal in that match. I don't know,
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: but like like you see players like that essentially, it's
• 48:28
  Speaker 3: just uh, sometimes they're they're they're the usual suspects, but
• 48:31
  Speaker 3: sometimes you just see guys that just play above and
• 48:35
  Speaker 3: beyond for those matches. So that's that's like, it's nice
• 48:39
  Speaker 3: to see that. It's what is it there, third game
• 48:44
  Speaker 3: this season, fourth game this season?
• 48:48
  Speaker 1: I feel like they played it in the Super Cup,
• 48:52
  Speaker 1: that's what.
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: Ye yeah, so there go it's their fourth game against
• 48:56
  Speaker 3: each other going on to a fifth right now. It's
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: it's yeah, it's good though, like you need the melons
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: to be like this for city had to succeed, Like
• 49:07
  Speaker 3: like you need to have the big three and you
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: need to have like all of them be strong at
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: the same time. And that's how you generate interest. And
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: if it's even if it's it's the it's a domestic cup,
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: you still have like people are still gonna be like, oh,
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: it's inter and melan, let's watch the game, or even
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: you might even have the casuals, but it's just coming in,
• 49:25
  Speaker 3: you know. It's like it's like there's the Fa Cup
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: going on, sure or whatever. Like I don't know, who's
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: in there sent Like I think it's like two bit
• 49:32
  Speaker 3: like two interesting teams just because of who they are,
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: but not because they're they're historic rivals versus intercity rivals.
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: You know where it's like, And it's still in the
• 49:41
  Speaker 3: domestic Cup final, Like I I like when that happens.
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: I don't care who wins. Always gonna be fun for
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: a neutral. It's always fun to see the banter and
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: the jokes and stuff that makes it even better. But
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: like I think that, but even on the other side
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: of things, Bologna Amply, you know, it's like you generate
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: in interest to that too, because it's like these are
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: teams that you would not expect to be in this point,
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: you know, Like you said, it best that they're peaking
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: at the right time, which is very true, especially when
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: you want that league game push and late season push
• 50:10
  Speaker 3: and you have only eight games left in the season. Uh,
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: it's perfect time to fight for and you know, hopefully
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: if they make if they make Champions League again for
• 50:20
  Speaker 3: two seasons in a row like this time around, like
• 50:23
  Speaker 3: they don't they I'm not saying that they took it.
• 50:25
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying that they didn't take it. Seriously, this year,
• 50:28
  Speaker 3: but more like Okay, now it's like, okay, we know
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: what it takes to play. Yeah, they learned, And the
• 50:33
  Speaker 3: ownership would be like maybe Joey Saputo's will be like,
• 50:35
  Speaker 3: you know what, let me actually spend the money to
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: actually like make this team going to not share players
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: between Montreal and Bologna. For some reason, I think that,
• 50:48
  Speaker 3: like you want you want to see stuff like that
• 50:50
  Speaker 3: because it just like it makes it believable you actually
• 50:53
  Speaker 3: make Bologna like develop them to be like, Okay, you
• 50:55
  Speaker 3: know what, maybe they're not some one like one shot
• 50:59
  Speaker 3: tie the team. You know they got something going here.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Nico, would you take tellianno Yve.
• 51:10
  Speaker 2: Right now?
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: Well for next season?
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: For next season? I don't you know. I love you Telliana.
• 51:18
  Speaker 2: I would love to have him one day. I just
• 51:20
  Speaker 2: don't think. I don't think it's in his best interests
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: or the club's best interests. You know, that would be
• 51:27
  Speaker 2: my assessment of it, just because he's got a great
• 51:30
  Speaker 2: project at Bologna, like I see him staying there personally,
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: and to go to Juve would be like it also
• 51:38
  Speaker 2: depends like who gets that Champions League spot, you know,
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: like if you've fall out of the top four, and
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: I don't see him leaving at all if he is
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: the one who ends up with that top four spot, right,
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: So it's certainly a question. Oh no, what do you think?
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: It's your take on that, I'm not taking another coach
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: from Bologna done.
• 51:58
  Speaker 3: I have an opinion. I have an opinion. I don't
• 52:03
  Speaker 3: think they should not because we discussed it when Manta
• 52:08
  Speaker 3: got hired for the first time. Juventus is not a
• 52:12
  Speaker 3: developmental team for managers. Uh, It's it's like like a
• 52:17
  Speaker 3: lot of these managers and I think Manta did a
• 52:18
  Speaker 3: mistake by going to you. Not because this is me
• 52:21
  Speaker 3: crap talking you. It's more like you're going from Bologna,
• 52:24
  Speaker 3: which you had that phenomenal season, sure, but you're in
• 52:27
  Speaker 3: the lower tier of city teams, like no disrespect, just
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: just a matter of fact of financials, of size of fandom,
• 52:33
  Speaker 3: blah blah blah. And it's like you can't jump from
• 52:36
  Speaker 3: that kind of tier to the top tier right away,
• 52:39
  Speaker 3: like of the of the of the set, maybe you
• 52:42
  Speaker 3: can go towards the lower set. This like if if
• 52:44
  Speaker 3: you want to try Fialentina, or even if you want
• 52:46
  Speaker 3: to maybe give it a shot at Oma you know,
• 52:48
  Speaker 3: like you want to give it a shot at like
• 52:50
  Speaker 3: the lower tier of this, but even at that, like
• 52:52
  Speaker 3: your middle of the pack teams is where like you
• 52:55
  Speaker 3: should go from there or or just really make your
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: lower tier team the middle of the pack team like Juventus,
• 53:00
  Speaker 3: like we said at the start of the show, has
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: these really big expectations logically speaking, and it's it's fair
• 53:07
  Speaker 3: to say why they like why they demand so much.
• 53:09
  Speaker 3: So having a guy like like Mata who's early in
• 53:13
  Speaker 3: his career going there, I think it was a mistake
• 53:16
  Speaker 3: for him to go there, But you know, like I'm like, hey,
• 53:18
  Speaker 3: they wanted to get somebody new, they want to try
• 53:20
  Speaker 3: out something new, and it didn't work out, And I
• 53:22
  Speaker 3: think the same thing would happen with you, Taliano. I
• 53:23
  Speaker 3: think you Taliano. He's still doing a good job with
• 53:27
  Speaker 3: you know, taking these middle tier, lower tier teams and
• 53:30
  Speaker 3: making them good and you know, like creating, like making
• 53:32
  Speaker 3: these players that everyone thought were like Okay, well they're done,
• 53:36
  Speaker 3: Like we we got as much juice out of them
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: as we could and still find a way to rejuvenate them.
• 53:40
  Speaker 3: Look what he did, were Keen, you know, like like
• 53:42
  Speaker 3: when when Keen was Loan to fit it at first
• 53:44
  Speaker 3: when he was loan to Fiantina, like he had that
• 53:46
  Speaker 3: bit of the resurgence, you know, and stuff like he
• 53:48
  Speaker 3: has that ability to just like take these players who
• 53:50
  Speaker 3: everybody thinks is like, Okay, well we can't do much
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: with them anymore, and just find a way to make
• 53:54
  Speaker 3: them useful again. And he's made also lean not only
• 53:56
  Speaker 3: like also a lean he had a great year last year,
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: but he just like, you know, pushing them further. So
• 54:03
  Speaker 3: as much as a good coach he is Italiano, I
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: think it would be a mistake that he goes to Uve,
• 54:07
  Speaker 3: and I think it would be a mistake for Juve,
• 54:09
  Speaker 3: the higher manager like him. I think you vent this
• 54:11
  Speaker 3: at this point where it's like if you know that
• 54:13
  Speaker 3: Tudor is only gonna be there till the end of summer,
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: you're spending this time as of now looking at the
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: market of managers or potential expiring contract managers and looking
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: at who is a manager that has experienced with these
• 54:27
  Speaker 3: really top tier clubs, and they don't have to be
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: guys that have won trophies every season, but have shown
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: that they have the capability of competing for one. And
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: I feel like like that's what they should be doing
• 54:37
  Speaker 3: right now in Italiano as much as much as as
• 54:40
  Speaker 3: we can see, he's doing a great job with Bologna.
• 54:43
  Speaker 3: I think it would be a mistake for him to leave,
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: and I don't think you should go after him.
• 54:46
  Speaker 2: Well Son, Yeah, I agree for all those reasons too.
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 54:54
  Speaker 1: I think they'll do it for us, Johnny, unless you
• 54:56
  Speaker 1: had anything else you wanted to talk about. But that's
• 55:03
