  fan of obviously your showed me one weekly podcast I've been going on for all
• 1:57

• 2:02
  it's it's it's always a cool thing to tune into every Monday night.
• 2:07
  So again I'm gonna guess maybe lead you in a bit better hopefully. Okay,
• 2:13
  it's all about the content, the content creation. Would it be coming
• 2:16
  you know for you guys or coming from coast to coast. Who's going on
• 2:20
  live tonight at nine thirty, some of our Patreon members doing their own little
• 2:23
  thing on their side. It's just the more content, guys, the better,
• 2:27
  the better it is. So I'm glad that what an intro. Thank
• 2:30
  you, thank you, thank you. I had to throw you your flowers.
• 2:35
  But what we do with every guest first time on the show kind of
• 2:38
  just to get a grip of you know where the fandom in your case for
• 2:43
  Milan came from. Maybe your story with with with you falling in love with
• 2:46
  the red and box stripes that we love and if you want to just share
• 2:51
  that quick story before we get into all the all the I know my story
• 2:54
  doesn't compare to my co host, the s TVP his his legendary, But
• 2:58
  for me, it was my cousin living across my across my street and his
• 3:05
  family from Middaly will always bring him some stuff and I would go into his
• 3:08
  room and I'm like eight years old, nineteen eighty eight, and you know
• 3:13
  what is this Van Basten and google it and it's like, what's this the
• 3:15
  Mighty Melan? And from there it was just the love, the love for
• 3:20
  the red and black and it just it just flourished, the flourished from there
• 3:24
  and the the you know, the best, the best story for me is
• 3:30
  that, you know, the living in Ottawa. I left for Autawa in
• 3:32
  two thousand and three to go work and it was a Champions League final and
• 3:38
  I remember we're when we win the Champions League final, I'm at a local
• 3:42
  bar with a with a friend there and I just burst into tears, and
• 3:46
  everybody's just looking at me all weird, like what the hell is this guy
• 3:51
  doing crying for a for a soccer game? And I'm like, you're never
• 3:54
  gonna get it. You're never gonna get it right. And that's why on
• 3:59
  my arm here I got that the you know, the red and black veins.
• 4:01
  For me, it's just more than more than a passion. So and
• 4:04
  again the discussion from like we're talking with Steve. I'm all for criticizing,
• 4:10
  but I'll never be negative. As I said Italian, that's the way it
• 4:15
  is. I gotta I gotta ask about your background. Do you actually have
• 4:19
  all those scars behind or is that? Is this a is that a photoshop
• 4:23
  background? Photoshop? What is photoshop? Kids? Those natural scarves. These
• 4:30
  are all the actual scarves of the people that sent to us via mail,
• 4:33
  some people that visited the Melon Club Montreal. So these are all real stuff.
• 4:38
  There's even some more, but you know, I only have so much
• 4:41
  of a big screen. So yes, do you want to see again?
• 4:43
  Do you want to see again the real stuff here? You know you know
• 4:47
  what it looked. It looked too perfectly set up. I said, I
• 4:50
  said, these look real, but it could easily be image. You never
• 4:54
  know these days, but that looks awesome. That's so you uh, you
• 4:58
  know you're part of Milan clumb and I know you guys do a lot of
• 5:00
  stuff with with other clubs around the world. As we see there with the
• 5:04
  scarves. For you, as a Mealie fan, what's the best part about
• 5:10
  being part of that club and connecting with other guys like like my good friendly
• 5:13
  Driano. It's the It's the passion, right, It's the passion from for
• 5:17
  a love of a club. Being able to look at Davy at Angie from
• 5:21
  Melon Club Philly. I never met us. We were just talking over you
• 5:26
  know, what's happened, and they made a trip out to Montreal several years
• 5:30
  ago to come and meet us our our derby trip me and my cousin last
• 5:33
  year. We never asked they were there for the derby. They offered us,
• 5:39
  no, no, you guys are gonna stay with us. They had
• 5:41
  an apartment at Betzdomo. You're gonna stay with the day. And these are
• 5:45
  people you know that we've never you know, they're not we considered them family
• 5:48
  today, but it's just that, you know, like when went to school,
• 5:53
  we're embracing people we don't know, or having people oh I read the
• 5:59
  box to the club that meets over, Yeah, come on in. We
• 6:01
  remember seeing three French people from Hey, the milanod. You know, it's
• 6:06
  it's just this, it's more of a you know, everybody knows that I'm
• 6:11
  a wrestling fan, and yes I've been to wrestling conventions where you have that
• 6:15
  that common passion. But when it comes to a team Milan and you know,
• 6:18
  I'm not gonna shoot on other teams. I'm sure everybody has the same
• 6:21
  kind of passion and it's just that brotherhood and sisterhood, you know. For
• 6:26
  the Patreon is humbling. To have this amount of people that forget the three
• 6:31
  dollars a month, is that you know, they want to be part of
• 6:34
  this Patreon. They want to be part of the group chat even though at
• 6:36
  half time there's four hundred and seventy four messages. Uh, you know,
• 6:42
  going from seeing views in Malaysia, views and you know views in Australia,
• 6:46
  Yes we have the Australian fan. I think it's just more humbling and this
• 6:49
  this whole Yes, there's toxic melon fans out there. We're not gonna lie,
• 6:54
  but I think it's the feeling of being in a brotherhood where you know,
• 6:58
  let's say, Adriano we never met. It's like, can we pick
• 7:00
  up some members of the Metro station. But yeah, sure, I'll be
• 7:04
  there. Pick up. Oh hi, I'm meeting you for the first time.
• 7:06
  Come into my car. Let's go it. You can't explain it.
• 7:10
  It's it's just like people that are in love. You can explain love.
• 7:14
  Right, Yeah, that's it's a mystery. But no, it's it's really
• 7:17
  it's really been cool. Uh, the camaraderie that we always say on our
• 7:21
  end, just you know, uh, for meeting people like yoursel Vini or
• 7:26
  so many people like you said across the world. It's just just to content,
• 7:30
  the English content, English cultural content. Uh, you know we put
• 7:34
  out you guys put out so many people put out. So I'm more of
• 7:39
  the merrier. There's no competition here the more exactly exactly, And everybody has
• 7:43
  their own twitt you know, twist on things, and it's it's a real
• 7:46
  cool thing. Just going back to Dave and Angie, I mean I remember
• 7:49
  meeting them when I went to Boston for the ICC tournament, kind to meet
• 7:54
  him for the first time, and West and I knew who he was just
• 7:57
  to social media, but like he obviously didn't know who I was going,
• 8:00
  you know, and choose myself shake his hand, and you saw that connection
• 8:03
  right away. You know. Franco from New York City, same thing,
• 8:07
  met him, you know, in the stands. And this guy, this
• 8:11
  guy, we we joked around about us schooldetto bus, jump on the bus.
• 8:16
  This guy rented a school bus when we when we won the Scudetto.
• 8:22
  It's just, you know, it's just these marvelous stories from an like you
• 8:24
  know, we we we we kindly call ourselves the five Families of the Milan
• 8:30
  Clubs. You know, Melan Club Montreal, Toronto with Maria. We have
• 8:33
  a Philly with Dave, who have New York with Franco, and then Boston
• 8:37
  with Mark. It's just it's just a great little community that we create ourselves,
• 8:41
  and that's why sometimes we do the millenniums more worldwide, you know on
• 8:46
  the podcast. Sometimes some clubs that just started two members, who cares you
• 8:50
  know, to spread the words? Right? Does Juventus do stuff like that?
• 8:54
  No? Unfortunately, there we go unfortunately, h okay, So let's
• 9:01
  uh, yeah, I wanted to maybe just break it into uh, you
• 9:05
  know, into obviously the me on performances of way Vinie. I know you
• 9:07
  guys had a great show on Monday night, you know, you and Steve
• 9:11
  talking about that again. Just want to get your your opinions and just your
• 9:16
  thoughts. And you mentioned obviously the toxic toxic Mewon fans and being part of
• 9:20
  mewlan the Mewan and I guess community myself, I also see those things.
• 9:24
  But just your thoughts on you know, Mean's recent performances obviously the not We
• 9:28
  match, even dating back maybe to the Juventus match, the PSG match in
• 9:33
  Champions League. Just your overall thoughts and and did you take anything, if
• 9:37
  anything positive out of out of all these results. You know, we called
• 9:41
  it what a ship week, right and emphasized on the podcast. But there's
• 9:46
  a difference speaking, criticizing and being negative. And you're on the group chat.
• 9:50
  You know, there's so many people that that the game has lost before
• 9:54
  the season is over. The season is over, we suck wrap it up.
• 9:58
  Yeah, and and it's it's for me. Look, am I happy
• 10:03
  about this week? Absolutely not? You know what happened against Juve, right,
• 10:07
  And when you're agreeing with juve fans, Nicholas, you brought this was
• 10:11
  the most disgusting game that we have watched in several years. And you know
• 10:16
  PSG PGS PSG guys, and as milanist is what. There's always that hope,
• 10:24
  right, but you're playing PSG. They just lost in Newcastle. Not
• 10:28
  scoring goals is inexcusable, especially the way we played in the first twenty minutes
• 10:31
  and then agains Napoli. You know, it's the it's the way we were
• 10:37
  after scoring two goals, being cuted in front of goal and then not knowing
• 10:41
  what the hell we're doing after scoring, then hearing comments like you know,
• 10:46
  the you doo comments. We don't know if what to defend or attack.
• 10:50
  You can't say shit like this, you know, now people will take what
• 10:56
  is happening. So you know the way Zo reacted when he was subbed off,
• 11:01
  we went from that too. He lost the locker room, Poli out.
• 11:07
  That's it. There's a nucleus of players that I get. I understand,
• 11:11
  guys, it's a clickbait era. I get it. This is what's
• 11:16
  going to draw the views and whatever. But for me, right, I'm
• 11:20
  always the glass half full kind of guy. I could be pissed off one
• 11:24
  hundred? Am I happy of this week? No? But it's ten games
• 11:28
  in where, oh my god, three points away from first place, what
• 11:33
  a disaster. We've already played three big teams and we still have don't ask
• 11:39
  me how still have a fighting chance to win to qualifying Champions League. So
• 11:46
  I get the injury pro the injuries in the team. There's a crime,
• 11:50
  Then what else are you going to write about? There's a crisis at Milan,
• 11:52
  there's a imagine if we were like in thirteen place. There's a crisis
• 11:58
  at Milan. There's a crisis at meal. But when Juventus gets first place
• 12:03
  for one day, layov ornata layov And I'm not I'm not bashing on you
• 12:09
  or or like intet right, like course, la fuga the link, the
• 12:13
  Lindt is running away with the scudetto. It's fucking ten games in people,
• 12:18
  right, we qualified, we we we sorry, we we like to give
• 12:22
  our our thoughts after ten games in which I think is very important, just
• 12:28
  the way people lost their fucking minds when we I can square on this right,
• 12:33
  yes, yeah, not suitable for young children. People lost their minds
• 12:37
  with the whole Tonale situation, right, and we were just wait and see,
• 12:41
  just wait and see. And we we we uh called it the civil
• 12:46
  war. We had the one side of the Miline fans on one side and
• 12:48
  the other ones will just wait and see, just wait and see. So
• 12:50
  for now, you know, am I happy with Pioli? I'm not happy
• 12:56
  with the team, so I'm not. You know, people like to point
• 12:58
  fingers. Whose fault is it? Whose fault is it? Are these things
• 13:01
  that I don't understand. I'm not a coach, you know, addly not
• 13:07
  playing for a year, what do I know. I don't know what's happening
• 13:11
  at the training room. So you know, to have that train of thought
• 13:13
  to go wait and see, or give me the other side of the of
• 13:18
  the of the story, just like, do I understand why you took out
• 13:24
  layout one hundred and fifty percent because he wasn't there, right, Jiu,
• 13:28
  I don't get it. And me, I'm a kind of guy, helped
• 13:31
  me understand. Jiu Fyovic helped me understand, right, And we spoke about
• 13:35
  the Pima Air players and everything. But no, it's been it's been a
• 13:39
  hard week. But you know, we got Adinaz coming up, right,
• 13:43
  We got Lechav and Abraham you know, one of the members. He was
• 13:46
  like, you know what, I prefer losing these games. He goes,
• 13:50
  last year, the year before, we would lose. Again, we will
• 13:52
  win against the big teams and lose against the small ones. He goes,
• 13:54
  give me the small teams, give me the small one. So uh,
• 13:58
  that's the difference between criticizing and being negative. So just the way I tell
• 14:03
  people, puoli out, okay, then what and they can't answer me.
• 14:09
  Some people smarter there and they'll try to give me some sort of explain poli
• 14:13
  out okay, just like when Juve was going bad, agree out and then
• 14:18
  what and then what? Who are you gonna go get? Who are you
• 14:20
  gonna go? Are you go, oh, we should get we should get
• 14:24
  a differentiator. What's his name? There are b and I'm like, okay,
• 14:28
  yeah, so we're gonna go pay. We're gonna go pay is buy
• 14:31
  a clause of probably eight to ten million. Then we're gonna go pay a
• 14:35
  salary six We're gonna keep on paying. Please stop, just stop and think
• 14:39
  and rationalize before you speak. I like, he's making what Nicholas over ten
• 14:43
  a year something like that? What are they gonna get? Conte? Like,
• 14:50
  you know, you know, when people were talking about Napolo Conte is
• 14:54
  going to Napoly, Are you out of your minds? There's nobody cheaper than
• 15:00
  Lorents. You know, no, but supposedly they have an agreement. Okay,
• 15:03
  they had an agreement. They had an agreement. Anyways, it is
• 15:05
  what is. But guys, you know what it's. It's it's entertaining at
• 15:09
  least that you got to take everything with a grain of salt on social media.
• 15:13
  That's why the busted the busted the tweets there that that we do on
• 15:16
  the show. You know, people might take it bad that we've done.
• 15:20
  It's all for fun and games. Don't take don't think, don't take social
• 15:24
  media. How many times have I ended up there? Hmmm yo, a
• 15:28
  bit more. We're gonna get the Loophole award there. I think I think
• 15:33
  we were doing it on purpose because you wanted to be part of the show.
• 15:35
  But it's all love. I want to ask you Anny, So you
• 15:41
  mentioned Milan's already played three of the top teams. So they played Napoli.
• 15:45
  You've and entered lost sorry lost to uh drew against one and you know,
• 15:50
  someone could say these are six point games and of course they still have to
• 15:54
  play these teams again. But uh, considering they have already dropped points to
• 15:58
  these teams and you know, these are the direct competitors in the race,
• 16:03
  is that concerning for you at all? Or would you rather wait till they
• 16:06
  play them again, you know, maybe try that they're going to recuperate three
• 16:08
  more points. Like you said, it's only ten games. The performance versus
• 16:15
  these teams, is that a concern for you? The concern you know,
• 16:18
  like a lot of people were complaining about the Intel game, right and they
• 16:22
  were saying, he keeps on doing the same thing again and he's expecting a
• 16:26
  different result. And my argument was my garment was okay, so is it
• 16:33
  possible that it's the first time ever that he gets to try his own plan
• 16:37
  with completely different players? Okay, it didn't work out, I get it,
• 16:41
  you know, so against Juve, I'm sorry, I don't even know
• 16:45
  how we're able to you know, the only game in recent history that you
• 16:49
  go up, you go up one man up Yuva and still that them make
• 16:53
  a difference. Not only you know, I think we're just in our heads
• 16:57
  and we want to talk debt. Yeah we got debt, but you need
• 17:02
  you need players that are not injured to have debt. You know. So
• 17:06
  this whole, this whole up and down. I'm not you, guys,
• 17:10
  Inter is the best team in city. Let's not hit ourselves, right,
• 17:12
  it is what it is. I don't see I don't see a problem playing
• 17:18
  You've again. I don't see a problem playing uh Napoli again for me,
• 17:25
  like I think you was going to keep on playing a legreen ball. Hey
• 17:29
  in the end, like we say, I don't give a shit. Oh
• 17:32
  they played really badly. It's three points in the end in the history books,
• 17:36
  right, So uh, to me, it's more more in dept because
• 17:40
  we haven't won. The last time guys we went against seen that was when
• 17:41
  I was there live at the san Ziero. So the more concerning thing is,
• 17:45
  you know, no goals in the last you know, five games in
• 17:48
  the Champions League. But now we've got to take care of the little ballbuster
• 17:52
  teams. You know, look at look at the you know, we're talking
• 17:55
  about how great kality was. We brought the argument that that I'm sorry,
• 17:59
  that's how bad frozen On is to let four goals in in the span of
• 18:02
  like twenty three twenty four minutes. You know, But I think it's going
• 18:04
  to start with the Saturday guys because hasn't been the ballbuster team that they've been
• 18:11
  in the last year. You know, they're always there, and this year,
• 18:14
  I don't know, they haven't. They haven't got to their pace up
• 18:18
  and you know, they've got a couple of ties, and I think this
• 18:19
  is going to be the first, the first test and see how much they're
• 18:23
  really into their heads. So no, to your question, Nicholas is always
• 18:29
  my main concern is always going to be you've you've at the inter at the
• 18:33
  inter at this point, the other teams are very beatable, especially from what
• 18:37
  I saw, because let's be honest, guys, it should have been for
• 18:38
  nothing in the first half against Napoli instead of getting cute and against Juve.
• 18:45
  I don't even I don't even know how this match ended up. You know,
• 18:49
  I think that the tie would have been the correct score because Milan didn't
• 18:56
  Yeah, Milan didn't do anything too. It's not like we bombarded. You
• 18:59
  all gained you know, you guys parked the bus. You played your game
• 19:02
  and in the end, you know what deflection is a deflection, it's a
• 19:04
  goal. And I'm gonna repeat myself again in the history books. Ain't gonna
• 19:10
  say deflection really bad. It's gonna say, y milanzero that is it.
• 19:15
  That is, by the way, you zero wins, so you know,
• 19:22
  still and they're still they're still at zero. There's zero wins, seven seven
• 19:27
  draws. Uh, they have most draws in the entire league. And that's
• 19:33
  where that's where a lot of people are like, oh, it should be
• 19:34
  an easy win. No, no, no, no, no. That's
• 19:37
  the kind of a ballbuster team that you know what they look at a Milan
• 19:41
  that is a bit fragile right now. It's like, let's go take it
• 19:45
  to them. And that's the difference. And Vinnie, it's funny. Our
• 19:48
  first ever show back in September twenty eighteen, we had Marcello on and he
• 19:52
  said the exact same thing about emply that he was more worried about playing emplely
• 19:57
  that week than any other team at that point. And by the way,
• 20:02
  you're not allowed to talk to to call them Marcello president. President. I'm
• 20:06
  going to tell them, mister, mister president, forever forever and always there
• 20:11
  we go, there go, Yeah, I know, let you after we
• 20:15
  got PHG on on Tuesday, we'll see, let's have a reaction on Saturday.
• 20:21
  But I will repeat, guys, it's ten games in, we're three
• 20:25
  points away from first place, right and we still have a fighting chance to
• 20:27
  win Champions League. Yes, be concerned for the the way the team has
• 20:33
  been, but to throw in the towel get the fun here, No,
• 20:37
  it's it's way too early. What bothers me more? Mor Vinnie and I
• 20:40
  know you guys, I think feel the same. It's just shooting ourselves in
• 20:44
  the foot to allow this to even be the talking points that we're having tonight,
• 20:48
  right you know? So Yeah, that's what bothers me the most personally
• 20:51
  as a mean fan. It's it's these things were attainable. Again, I
• 20:55
  agree with you on the PHG thing. I mean PSG, PSG, you
• 20:57
  know what I'll eat. That is all fine. Not being able to score
• 21:02
  against dortmun or in a game where we should have we should have won a
• 21:04
  massively in a in a match where we couldn't score against Newcastle which we should
• 21:10
  have won. Again, there that bothers me so, But then what but
• 21:15
  then it wasn't that Pioli's fault? How's that? That's what I'm trying to
• 21:18
  get it, Just like everybody like, you know, guys, the ball
• 21:22
  is round. Things happen, you know what I'm trying to say. It's
• 21:26
  just like, you know, let's look back at the Euros that Italy one
• 21:30
  guys, Govery watched that tournament. People want to talk about Italian Gooby watched
• 21:37
  that game against Spain. The ball is round. The gentleman, right,
• 21:41
  Sometimes you need a bit of lady luck and that's what it comes down to
• 21:45
  be. And the coaching it just sometimes it just falls into airlines. That's
• 21:51
  it. Yeah, one thing I wanted to kind of get into before maybe
• 21:53
  we turn into maybe some Champions League. The more talk in that aspect,
• 21:57
  I'm gonna bring what you guys brought said to your on your show kind of
• 22:00
  over to hear you know, your your your flops of the match against Napoli.
• 22:04
  You guys mentioned Layou if I'm not mistaken, both you and Steve if
• 22:08
  that's correct, right, Yeah, Steve went with I went with Lao as
• 22:12
  well, and we just deferred on the top of the match. I went
• 22:15
  with Collabria and he went with the j Yeah. I just want to focus
• 22:19
  a bit on layout because obviously he's it's no secret he's our you know,
• 22:25
  best player at least one of if you want to, you know, circle
• 22:27
  him in with Manya and and and the ornandez and and players of that nature.
• 22:32
  But just his recent performances, you know, kind of not being the
• 22:37
  layout that we know that he can be. Just your thoughts, like,
• 22:41
  is that at all concerning to you? Like, I know your your your
• 22:44
  opinion because I'm I'm with you with the chats, I'm with you on Monday
• 22:47
  nights, like I know that just for the people, just to you know,
• 22:49
  express your opinion on our show. Where do you where do you see
• 22:52
  layout and not being able to be the way out that we know in his
• 22:56
  big match, I think I think the crew for Layoo comes when we need
• 23:02
  him the most. He doesn't show up because you know, like we mentioned
• 23:06
  Casano's comment about what does Layo bring to you? Does he improve your team?
• 23:11
  No, he's only good one on one. But how many assists did
• 23:12
  he have so far? I think he has like four or five assists?
• 23:15
  Right? So I think you know how we talk about selective hearing, this
• 23:19
  might be selective viewing now is it concerning? No, still a young kid.
• 23:26
  I think I think a presence. You know, we're talking about Ibrahimovich
• 23:33
  a lot recently, in the last couple of a couple of days. I
• 23:37
  think right now, I don't know if he's feeling a bit of pressure because
• 23:41
  other than Collabria, right, who's got that longevity other than him? You
• 23:45
  know, for me, it's not concerning. I think it's concerning that we
• 23:51
  need him to step up. I think he tries to do too much the
• 23:55
  back heels. You know we sought against Newcastle. We saw it again even
• 23:59
  against Napoli guy in the end, he was just trying to do too much
• 24:00
  where you got a team there, no one is not concerning for me,
• 24:07
  that's personally again from what we've seen so far, it just needs that one
• 24:11
  a player of the caliber of layout goes through his little dip. Well,
• 24:15
  you need somebody that's going to be out there to pick up the pace,
• 24:19
  which right now we do not have. And that's why the concentration is on
• 24:22
  that left side. Even Tao guys tail hasn't been up on top right.
• 24:26
  It's on the top four. So that left side is now like all of
• 24:30
  a sudden, while I look at that left side, we could go,
• 24:32
  we could go attack that side there. So do you need somebody to you
• 24:36
  know, sign to, you know, give him a kick in the ass
• 24:40
  and you try to, you know, push them. I'm not sure or
• 24:42
  do you need more of that veteran presence in the locker room. And I
• 24:48
  don't care who it is. I don't care if it's you know, but
• 24:52
  a Sae in the Massados showing up at every training and you know, I
• 24:56
  don't care if it's Ibra being an assistant coach. I just think that it
• 25:00
  is make sure of some young players and some uh, veteran players. But
• 25:06
  guys, the veteran players on our team is what here? You know what
• 25:08
  I'm trying to say. Florenzi, you know, but these are not your
• 25:12
  your your your your top guys and your team. So uh and I would
• 25:17
  have went for Florenzi as a center back instead of I felt bad for the
• 25:21
  good That felt bad. Guys. It's like it's just terrible, terrible,
• 25:25
  terrible. But you know, who knows, maybe the pre vera, maybe
• 25:27
  they've been listening to me and s Imich wish I'll see, but this is
• 25:33
  our time to shine, right. That's how the rooms came to came to
• 25:37
  life, you know. Bringing in was he he was not even sixteen,
• 25:41
  was he not? No, it was just sixteen sixteen, you know,
• 25:44
  sixteen and fold days whatever it was. So anyways, again, feed on
• 25:48
  the ground, gentlemen. And if you do want to criticize, or if
• 25:51
  you want to be negative, bring your bring your your argument forward and and
• 25:55
  what so, what right you want to complain? Explain yourself? That's all?
• 26:00
  Are there other Are there other players you expect to be better? I
• 26:03
  know you mentioned Tail and Laoo. Do you think there's anyone else you want
• 26:08
  to see step up their game? I'm you know, Reindeers has been fantastic
• 26:15
  defensively, but when I keep on seeing him miss those shots, I go
• 26:22
  back to Benny to Ben, I said, and missing those shots? You
• 26:25
  know, so I need ring Theres to step up a little more. Musa
• 26:30
  kids twenty years old, man, you know, twenty years old, and
• 26:33
  he's getting a chance because Loft his cheeks isn't playing, you know. And
• 26:37
  ADLEI you know, I want him to. I think everybody's everybody's behind them
• 26:44
  because they want him to perform. But guys, if we look at Adley's
• 26:48
  performances, yes, there's been good ones, but there's been bad ones as
• 26:52
  well, you know. But I would say, I would say the way
• 26:55
  I've seen the team play, the most impressive guy for me has been and
• 27:00
  Loft his cheeks and who needs to step up his injuries. Stop getting injured
• 27:04
  left his cheeks. Just stay in there, you know, like if Pulicice,
• 27:08
  you know Pullstice, he's been playing what every single game, giving at
• 27:12
  all, but Chuck Aways is going to keep on getting hurt to the left
• 27:15
  frend center. So I want to talk about all these injuries, but uh,
• 27:19
  if to your end to your question, I want to be I want
• 27:22
  to have Reindeers more of a being able to finish. Rudolph, please be
• 27:27
  able to finish because Benny once he gets in there, man, you know,
• 27:32
  Benny's just waiting to get back to a spot. And when we do
• 27:34
  need him, Benny's there for the goals. Do you uh any do you
• 27:37
  put any any any thought in all these everybody's complaining about the injuries our checkos
• 27:44
  bananas when when somebody goes down for injury. We saw Pool Stitch in the
• 27:47
  NAT play game. What was it a third of the team has went down
• 27:51
  or something within this this stretch of nineteen stops nineteen stops since the first ten
• 27:56
  games. Yeah, do you put any do you put anything into that like
• 27:59
  people can pointing about you know, melon l or training or po or like
• 28:03
  you put any any you know, validity, get to all that. Are
• 28:06
  they are they playing too much? Guys? Moves tell me they're all the
• 28:10
  two showers in the morning Barcelona. What do they have eight starters out like
• 28:12
  it's I'm trying to think, like what are they doing that is causing these
• 28:22
  injuries? Now, let's talk about the differences between twenty years ago to now.
• 28:26
  What's the difference, Guys, Let's not talk about melan, Let's talk
• 28:29
  about all the leagues out there. What is the big difference? Playing a
• 28:32
  lot more correct now? Yes we can lose five substead of three. You
• 28:38
  know, people want to talk about Milon Labs and it's like, but Milon
• 28:41
  Lambs doesn't exist anymore. People like, you know, the whole people like
• 28:47
  Milon Lambs atak Stop like fifteen years ago. But the training facilities, the
• 28:52
  doctors, I'm not sure, guys. I'm not a physical therapist. I'm
• 28:57
  not an athlete. Far far from being an athlete. Well, I'm an
• 29:00
  athlete on the PlayStation. That's That's as far as I'm gonna go. But
• 29:03
  you know it's I don't see the the Irigosaki kind of trainings where they used
• 29:10
  to make the guys barf. So what is really going on? Are they
• 29:14
  staying at home at night? Are they doing the mental training? Then you
• 29:17
  look at a guy like Crishiana Ronaldo. How many times did he get injured?
• 29:19
  Guys because he treated his body as a fucking temple. You know,
• 29:26
  So is it today's generation? Is it too much playing? Is it you
• 29:30
  know, the regiment of training, or let's not train them as hard,
• 29:33
  or let's not put him on ay a direct schedule. You gotta do this,
• 29:37
  you gotta do that. It's just it's hard to say. It really
• 29:41
  is hard to say, but I can't. It's not like Milan is the
• 29:45
  only place, is the only team that has all these injuries right now?
• 29:48
  I think it sucks that we have all these injuries for starting team and or
• 29:53
  back and our fucking bench. Right so, I think if you know,
• 29:59
  Fluffed cheeks his hurt, but Benny's there, you know, like there's so
• 30:03
  many different mos is there? Oh, Pulisitch needs a couple of days off.
• 30:07
  Okay, you know what we're gonna put Chuck away? Oh, Leo
• 30:10
  is okay, put Pulitch on the let There's so many different other than the
• 30:12
  striker obviously because we have Jovic, but other than that, you know,
• 30:18
  look at the center backs, you know, care not okay, him is
• 30:22
  red carded, and then Kalulu is not supposed to Guys, how many how
• 30:26
  many bad luck do you want to have? You know, it's really hard
• 30:29
  to go after a direct, direct reasoning. But I think it's just the
• 30:36
  fact that our bench, imagine, imagine last year, two years ago,
• 30:40
  we would have this kind of problem. Who would be create the prima Veda
• 30:44
  will be playing right now, you know, so, and the advanceage the
• 30:48
  positive out of all this. Guys, at least they're not really major on
• 30:52
  Kolulu's out for what they say, four months, yeah, four months for
• 30:56
  for that and and he just came back, like when he just came back
• 31:00
  but broken forth or something another another four months from there, and it's like,
• 31:08
  thank god, Pools, It's like, let's do precautionary let's just pull
• 31:11
  them, pull them back. So it's hard to pull. What do you
• 31:15
  guys think? What does the Juventino think? Well, what does he think
• 31:18
  is like I think he put up magic potion in our drinks or something,
• 31:22
  and he's putting he's putting the all the injuries on Melan. I I think,
• 31:27
  you know, you made a good point, Viny about just training and
• 31:33
  you know, possibly this generation. I'm not going to say all the generations,
• 31:34
  leaser or whatever. I think it's just we have a better understanding of
• 31:40
  of athletes bodies and but at the same time, they are overplayed and we
• 31:47
  see how many how much more games are added in the past few years,
• 31:51
  International games since since they've played way too much. Just that just that stretch
• 31:57
  when they came back from cold yeah, to the Euros, that that whole
• 32:01
  stretch there was like really a lot. But again you're painting them these big
• 32:07
  bucks. You want them to perform, so you get both sides of the
• 32:09
  spectrum. I find. Yeah. And I think also because these doctors,
• 32:15
  these scientists do have a better understanding. I think when there is a minor
• 32:19
  injury, they are going to be pulled out kind of like you said,
• 32:22
  what pussage, just to avoid longer term injury, Whereas maybe ten years ago,
• 32:27
  twenty years ago, that wasn't the case. But then maybe players then
• 32:31
  had shorter careers or they just weren't performing up to the standard that they could
• 32:37
  have, but they're still playing, you know. But but no one will
• 32:39
  criticize a player when he's playing and they can't tell he's maybe not playing as
• 32:44
  he should. But of course people are getting criticize players when they miss one
• 32:47
  or two games here and there. It's just it's a very tough situation because
• 32:52
  at the end of the day, these guys, their bodies is what makes
• 32:55
  them, what's what makes them money. So as soon as they get injured
• 33:00
  and you know, like Coolulu out four months, like, they're devastated mentally.
• 33:04
  It's hard as an athlete to miss that much time and he knows he
• 33:07
  can't help the team. You know, Vinnie, I don't know how into
• 33:10
  hockey you are, but you know, Carnor McDavid just had an injury and
• 33:13
  I watched a couple of a couple of his interviews. He was out a
• 33:16
  week and then for him it was like the end of the world. Ah,
• 33:21
  so it's a very Toronto McDavid. But you know, Kolulu, where's
• 33:24
  my spot in four months? Yeah? No, exactly, there you go.
• 33:28
  Yeah, that's perfectly said. So you know, sometimes they might think
• 33:31
  about that of following a certain regime and you know a Ronaldo, like I
• 33:37
  said, treating their body like a temple and the sacrifices that you're going to
• 33:40
  make. He's still playing what is you now, guys? Thirty eight thirty
• 33:44
  nine, Yeah, Ibra Ibra treated his body as a temple too, and
• 33:49
  yes you saw even treating it as a temple. And the train that it
• 33:52
  look in the end as soon as we go on, the injuries that this
• 33:55
  that so again, guys, hard to put something, but yes, the
• 33:59
  free you can see if Games, I think has to do a lot.
• 34:02
  I look at City right now. I enjoyed that we're not going to have
• 34:07
  a two week break for for Christmas because I'm going to be able to watch
• 34:10
  just like you know, the EPL. But it is what it is,
• 34:15
  guys, you know, so yeah, no, you're right, and I,
• 34:20
  like I said, just since COVID, like since when they came back
• 34:22
  from COVID, like the you know, I remember, I still remember those
• 34:25
  episodes, like we were saying, like man, like they're playing like you
• 34:29
  know every other day. You know, there's like games to go. Lord,
• 34:31
  there's no stop, even though they had like a big stop obviously for
• 34:35
  the pandemic. But it's uh. Then you know you add in tournaments like
• 34:38
  internationally, you know, you know the African the Afchan is going to come
• 34:44
  up of entry, right, so like when that comes up, you know,
• 34:45
  all the African players are going to be you know, uh in that
• 34:47
  competition for their nations. And you know, the biggest, the biggest joy
• 34:52
  as an athlete, especially in culture, you know, is to play for
• 34:54
  your national team. These players take a lot of pride in playing for their
• 34:58
  national teams. So you know, it doesn't get hurt because then then we'll
• 35:02
  be really yeah, then then we're really screw and you know what even to
• 35:06
  be honest, not going whatever like even you know, because I know people
• 35:08
  are gonna say, you know, he's not he's not you do of old,
• 35:12
  but like we still need him there because like we have, like you
• 35:15
  said, ven because we have no other choice exactly. So it's it's it's
• 35:19
  that for me is we're knocking on wood there. I got a wooden table,
• 35:22
  so we're good. Exactly. Courtney up as well. But you mentioned
• 35:29
  earlier Anion, when when you spoke about like obviously being more optimistic of new
• 35:32
  and season so far, Uh, the Champions League, there's still somehow of
• 35:37
  a fighting chance to to store making Champions League. Guys, we're making chances.
• 35:40
  Okay, So that was where I was getting at. Is that is
• 35:43
  that where your where your head's at? How do you see these last three
• 35:45
  games? Kind of we're gonna type PHG. We're gonna beat Dortmund and we're
• 35:50
  gonna beat newcasts a little. That's why like for me, this negativity.
• 35:54
  What am I going to bring to my team by being negative and saying that
• 36:00
  they were making Champions League? Because you know what, this is what Champions
• 36:05
  Zig is all about. Leave it to the last. Sorry, Nicholas,
• 36:07
  we're talking about something you're not very familiar with, but Champions League, Champions
• 36:14
  League to you know what, forget forget Champion League. It doesn't play.
• 36:20
  And that's why I said watch out for you because they fucking playing three times
• 36:24
  a week. Right. You go back to the injury stuff. You've had
• 36:29
  less injuries this year exactly. But you know what, we're making Champions League.
• 36:32
  I I I believe it because right now nobody is putting us anywhere near
• 36:39
  this qualification. Watch us positive, positive thinking. That's what I'm gonna says.
• 36:47
  If you want to come like Tuesdays Wednesdays to come and watch the game.
• 36:50
  You know what it feels like the plan on Tuesday Wednesday. Sorry,
• 36:52
  you could go watch Roma on Thursday Thursday as well, you know, but
• 36:59
  the guys don't. Honest, I might end up playing on Thursdays this year
• 37:01
  too, So you see, you're set up for the whole week. You're
• 37:06
  set up for no but serious, like going back to being serious. I
• 37:10
  think you said you said sorry, you said draw against phor you said we're
• 37:15
  gonna we ain't losing against PSG mark my words. That's just why I don't
• 37:22
  bet anymore. Guys. Uh, we're beating We're bet we're winning against Dorth
• 37:28
  Mounds and we're beating Newcastle alone. Guys. It's just written in the stars.
• 37:35
  It's written in the stars. And I'm always good in prediction when I
• 37:37
  don't bet. And that's why I'm very confident. This is called Vinnie's virtual
• 37:43
  gambling. Virtual gambling is always a good thing. It's always a good teach
• 37:51
  a lesson or too. Oh by the way, no, no, there's
• 37:54
  no we knew about it. That's why we sold him and the Newcastle money
• 38:00
  back. Now we have to pay, I thought president to get us a
• 38:04
  lawyer, because I would really like to know what would be the rules and
• 38:07
  regulations and the law if that were true, just for that that legit like
• 38:13
  is that it's not more than just like me tweeting it, No as a
• 38:17
  from a from an event this fan but like a conspiracy and money and cooking
• 38:22
  the books. Obviously an event is fined. You would understand these things.
• 38:24
  But uh, you know what, no, me, I would like to
• 38:29
  I would really like to know if this were true, what are the legal
• 38:32
  grounds? I seriously doubt that this is true because Milan is as Milan.
• 38:38
  What does Steve say? I think this is above Milan Milan as a type
• 38:44
  of organization. This if it was young only maybe with Maldini at the helm.
• 38:50
  Then again have we been surprised by Melan? But I don't see this.
• 38:52
  But I'd be more curious to know what would be the legal grounds if
• 38:58
  this came to be as true. I don't think. I don't think there's
• 39:01
  many. Yeah, no, and you know they they've they've I remember they
• 39:06
  even asked Ebra. You know, also at what was that that conference there?
• 39:13
  I forget what the conference was, but they asked Libra about Tonali.
• 39:15
  Did you know anything obviously he's gonna say no, and obviously he's not going
• 39:19
  to really divulge anything. But he seemed I guess you can say since here
• 39:22
  and you know, not knowing that that he had maybe even a problem,
• 39:25
  uh you know, gambling. I'll finish off. I'll finish off at this
• 39:30
  guys. No matter what people want to believe, it's a disease. That
• 39:32
  is it. That is all, you know. Maybe maybe Tonali was able
• 39:37
  to control his disease. Guys like fagility weren't able. But it's a disease.
• 39:43
  Some people able to control it. Some people are able to just the
• 39:46
  wagh When I lost my sixty pounds, mentally, I was strong enough to
• 39:51
  say no, I ain't gonna eat this hanging it because our mind was stronger
• 39:54
  than body. Right when it came to gambling back in those days, the
• 39:58
  mind wasn't stronger because I was my way to escape and it is it is
• 40:02
  what is I think Tonali. Tonali was much more, much smarter about his
• 40:07
  gambling, but it doesn't excuse the fact that he bet on Milan, guys,
• 40:13
  and he bet on Brescia, Canada. And honestly, I'll from the
• 40:17
  bottom of my heart Fajuli getting seven months because he's the first one that came
• 40:22
  out and rated everybody out. Tonali ten months. I think Tonale is not
• 40:28
  enough because if it was proven that he bet on games of Milan and Brescia,
• 40:36
  I am this is not personal to him, right, this is that
• 40:38
  What kind of precedent are you setting? Right? We're not talking about I
• 40:43
  want to talk about Pete Rose here that I still find that horrible that Pete
• 40:46
  Rose is banned from the Hall of Fame because he bet on him proven he
• 40:52
  only bet on himself to win, you know. But in soccer, I'm
• 40:55
  gonna get a yellow card. I'm gonna do that. You never know,
• 40:59
  look at look of those clips of a jolly crying. But you know,
• 41:01
  three million in debt would how does this kid twenty two twenty three? You
• 41:07
  know? Probably Jesus Christ. Anyways, it's a disease, guys. And
• 41:10
  on one ex bet is your main sponsor in Citiya and everywhere around you see
• 41:15
  betting, betting, betting. So if you're able to do it, just
• 41:19
  like drinking, just like drugs, do it responsibly and moderation. That's the
• 41:22
  way I look at it, perfectly said, thank thanks for saying that that
• 41:25
  is It's very true. It's very true. There's I worry for younger kids
• 41:32
  now teenagers because like you said, it is all over sports advertisement not just
• 41:37
  city A, NHL, NFL and BA, MLB, about three six,
• 41:43
  five drafts, yeah, everywhere. Yeah, if you lose control, you
• 41:47
  can go down deep. And if you know, if someone's listening this,
• 41:51
  you have a problem, you know, reach out. There are different helplines,
• 41:54
  definitely, if you're able to. Like the guys that I see at
• 41:59
  the club and they come to the bar and they're there with their twenty five
• 42:01
  cents bets and they've been playing with the same twenty dollars for the last year
• 42:05
  and a half, I'm like, fucking kudos to you, man, because
• 42:07
  you're really enjoying yourself. And it's like I won I want one hundred dollars
• 42:14
  with my forty forty cent bet like a fourteen game party or something. And
• 42:17
  I'm like, if that was me back then day, I would have looked
• 42:21
  at it as like I just lost twenty thousand dollars because I'm like, I
• 42:23
  would never bet forty cents, you know. But yeah, anyways, hopefully,
• 42:29
  hopefully they get these guys to help that they need. I don't care
• 42:32
  what people say, oh directly and they're millionaires. No, everybody's got their
• 42:37
  own fucking problems. Yeah, and then I just want to say, I
• 42:39
  know on your show, you know, it was very courageous obviously, just
• 42:43
  to say your story in terms of you know, the disease that I guess
• 42:46
  you know obviously hits you as well in terms of the gambling in the gambling
• 42:50
  world. So you know, shot go to you for putting that out there.
• 42:54
  I didn't know that, to be honest before. No, No,
• 42:58
  it's something that we're worrying about it. So I could talk about and guys,
• 43:00
  what did I say? Just like the nero in the movie Casino,
• 43:05
  the key thing is to keep them coming back because in the end, the
• 43:08
  house always wins. Remember that there's no there are some there are very few
• 43:15
  professional gamblers in the world. Lady Luck is not there most of the time.
• 43:20
  So I'm going to keep on going with my virtual gambling. So when
• 43:22
  the guys are at the bar there, it's like, okay, give me
• 43:23
  some action, give me something. They open up their applications and I'm like,
• 43:27
  put me down. I think it was when Milan was when it said
• 43:32
  right, and one of the guys was like, Vinnie, I want nothing.
• 43:37
  Milan is Milan spaying like fifteen to one or twenty to one to win
• 43:42
  this game. Give me some action. Put three dollars on there, you
• 43:45
  know, And he was just laughing. And they end up winning. I
• 43:49
  said, I told you to put three dollars. I would have put one
• 43:52
  hundred bucks. I would have put fifty bucks. I'm like, you say,
• 43:54
  virtual gambling, it's always a good thing. I would I lost.
• 43:58
  Guys, I told him to put three bucks. You don't want to do
• 43:59
  it, but it is. Yeah. But yeah, thanks for even just
• 44:05
  opening up to us that if you could, it's awesome to talk about it.
• 44:08
  If you could talk about it, it means that you could you reach
• 44:12
  out to somebody. Doesn't bother me anymore. The mistakes were made, right,
• 44:15
  You learn from your mistakes, and you know, for certain people that
• 44:21
  do it, you want to stay home and think about your mistakes. Yeah,
• 44:24
  there's gonna be times like that, and you don't want to do all
• 44:28
  in the past. You want to be able to, you know, talk
• 44:30
  about talk about these kind of things that you know, if you do see
• 44:34
  these things happening, you give your point of view, it's not not my
• 44:38
  business, but at least I could speak for an experience because my psyche and
• 44:43
  my chemical reactions in my head right, I wasn't able to control myself.
• 44:47
  And that is what it is. And now, like I said, when
• 44:51
  I bet that twenty dollars every three four months and I lose, like get
• 44:52
  pissed off, I got to put a bit of gas in the car.
• 44:55
  I could have done this. I got to bought a pack of cigarettes.
• 44:59
  And when I do win that one hundred dollars, I'm so happy because it
• 45:00
  goes directly to the credit having control, gentlemen having control. But I ain't
• 45:07
  betting on PHG. We're staying away. We're staying away from that one.
• 45:10
  The only thing that does bother me this whole thing is obviously the journalist that's
• 45:15
  kind of putting out the dirty laundry. I'tn forget his name. Now,
• 45:17
  what the what the hell is Corona? Corona Corona, Yeah, the great
• 45:22
  Corona. Uh, just for me, that's disgusting, h In my opinion,
• 45:27
  we've spoken about it. I know you guys have spoken about it as
• 45:30
  well, Vinnie, but I know we know you're on the when when TMZ,
• 45:34
  Yes, thank you. But when TMZ is paying people in public office
• 45:38
  to give them their information about Matthew Perry dying so they could break the story,
• 45:45
  this is the day and age. And you know what, let me
• 45:47
  answer me this. What does Corona gained from doing this ego? Is a
• 45:54
  name going down? And now you know what. I hope that they they
• 45:58
  assume for defamation. But even though you soon for defamation, your name already
• 46:01
  came out when one day would have been Shaawi. Even but I like talking
• 46:06
  back at him. This guy go jail time, and it's like anyways,
• 46:08
  No, it's a it's this day and age, guys, it's this day
• 46:13
  and age. It's unfortunate, but clickbait, clickbait, clickbait. Never change
• 46:17
  who you guys are. Stay the way you are. If if you know,
• 46:24
  if you do want to go for the clicks, be controversial, do
• 46:28
  what you want to do, but always stay true to yourselves. Me and
• 46:30
  Steve never changed who we are. Yeah, we went from X amount of
• 46:35
  views to lower amount views. I don't give a fuck. We're doing what
• 46:37
  we want to do, right. Why ain't doing this for the money.
• 46:40
  I don't know if you guys knew YouTube doesn't pay very much. We got
• 46:44
  one hundred dollars check after like five months. Not bad, not by one
• 46:46
  hundred dollars check. And you know what that money is going to go towards.
• 46:51
  We're gonna do another thing, probably pay for another kids soccer youth system
• 46:55
  or put another team to a tournament. So that money is always going to
• 47:00
  a great, great place. But never change who you are. Keep doing
• 47:04
  what you're doing. And again, congratulations, fucking show tool for guys.
• 47:07
  Good for you, Good appreciate, I appreciate, appreciate that. Again.
• 47:12
  Likewise, from us to you, we've always been you know, I know

• 47:17
  close to your show and obviously been part of the club with Juvenie. It's
• 47:22
  always it's always a pleasure when we see each other and even when Nicholas comes,
• 47:27
  it's good. Yeah we agree, and it's but that's what but but
• 47:30
  that's what the club's about, right, Like it's it's a it's a cool
• 47:32
  dynamic that you know hasn't listen. I haven't been able to experience other fan
• 47:37
  clubs, but you know from one from ours, I mean, I know
• 47:42
  even though there's the band even though there's the back and forth, it's all
• 47:45
  for me always, It's all a lot of guys. I walked in,
• 47:47
  I walked into the bar. The inter club was there watching the inter room
• 47:51
  a game. I'm just giving them at the end of the game. We're
• 47:55
  having coffee together where we're we're we're joking around, we're making in fun of

• 49:13
  off for you, juve, because I'm not gonna say I'm sticking to my
• 49:15
  my thing at the beginning decision. Be wary of you of it because they
• 49:19
  ain't fucking playing three days a week. You know what a punishment you will
• 49:22
  not play conference league, you know. But we shall see what goes on
• 49:29
  till the end of the season. Yeah, thank you so much, Thank
• 49:32
  you so much, guys, Thank you, great great child with Vinnie from
• 49:39
  Milan Weekly Podcast, and we actually made a substitution Vinnie out in the fiftieth
• 49:45
  minute, Johnny in uh for the second half here. Uh, Johnny,
• 49:50
  how's it going? Uh? It could be better? Just a bit sick,
• 49:52
  but uh here we have you lots of lots of strange games this weekend
• 50:01
  in city. Yeah, besides the Monopoly two to two against me on Before
• 50:06
  we start that, I want to say I don't know if you guys saw,
• 50:08
  but the Canadian women's national team they played Brazil in Montreal on Saturday and
• 50:15
  I was there. Was honestly a fantastic event. So shout out to Soccer
• 50:20
  Canada for putting this on sold out, which which is just fantastic. Obviously,
• 50:25
  I really didn't expect much because Quebec Canada history, you know, you
• 50:30
  know, politically there's a bit of history here. But twenty thousand people,
• 50:34
  people love their soccer here. Christen Sinclair honored before the game right next to
• 50:37
  Mary Philip play hockey legend. So I just want to say, put it
• 50:44
  out there, great event that Soccer Canada had. I wish the Canadian national
• 50:49
  team men or women played more games at Puto Stadium because I can recall,
• 50:52
  I know the women played a game here a couple of years ago, but
• 50:57
  the men rarely play here. If if and you know, if Italy ever
• 51:01
  comes, even women's team, men's team, it ever comes, guys,
• 51:06
  it's over. It's over. All the Italians were making our way to Statsuputo.
• 51:09
  But that's a that's a dream. Uh, it's it's cool to see.
• 51:14
  It's cool to see national team. It's cool to sing an anthem and
• 51:16
  and see good soccer. At the end, Brazil did win nine to fourth
• 51:21
  minute goal by Dominia. I just wanted to put that out there for our
• 51:24
  listeners. Uh, calcho a lot of late goals also in city your girlfriend,
• 51:30
  Yes, yes, of course, of course. Yeah, we were
• 51:35
  sitting. There was a whole section of Brazilians, uh that were just singing
• 51:38
  and going crazy all game. We weren't there. We were kind of like,
• 51:43
  you know, just with regular people, a lot of families. It
• 51:45
  was an afternoon games. But it was pretty cool all the Brazilians. I
• 51:49
  didn't realize Montreal does have a pretty big Brazilian community. They actually a lot
• 51:52
  are in the south Shore and they made their way to the stadium. But
• 51:55
  I do want to say Statsuputo security. I don't know if you remember this,
• 52:00
  Adriano. When we went to the Impact game, the lineup from you
• 52:06
  know, people walking from Vo Metro to the stadium. You know, when
• 52:10
  we went, the security is telling okay, there's other entrances, go here,
• 52:14
  go there, naa. This time they decided that everyone was going to
• 52:17
  go in the same entrance, and and the stadium was about three quarters full
• 52:22
  at the start just because people were still getting in. And that was a
• 52:25
  mess. Soto security, do better security, Yeah, that was that was
• 52:31
  a mess. And you go, guys, this is funny. You go,
• 52:36
  they check everybody's bag. I had a little bag, a little pouch
• 52:39
  that had with me. I give it to the guy. He doesn't even
• 52:42
  check it. So the lineups, you know that meme where the security guys
• 52:47
  like like barely touching guys as they go in. That that was pretty much
• 52:52
  it. Wasting all this time and he's barely checking stuff. You could have
• 52:57
  brought all kinds in, Yeah, exactly, would or no, exactly.
• 53:01
  But back to the city. Well, let's start with the big comeback of
• 53:07
  the week. We'll start with the Big Cup and we'll talk about into Roma
• 53:12
  later. But the big comeback the game that nobody probably was watching, the
• 53:15
  Sunday morning game, Cality first ever team to come back from three goals down.
• 53:22
  I think in the last twenty minutes or so. I think that was
• 53:23
  the goals. Yeah, exactly, seventy goals in the seventy second, seventy
• 53:30
  sixth, ninety fourth, and ninety six minute four to three win over Frozen
• 53:35
  one and big three points for them because klity they were at the bottom and
• 53:39
  that was only there. That was their first win of the season. Imagine
• 53:43
  that first win in the season, they're at six points. Guys, do
• 53:46
  you think this is more because Kality is a good team or Frozen one just
• 53:51
  doesn't have the talent to hold a lead like that. I would I wouldn't
• 53:58
  say it's I wouldn't say it's either A or B. It's just one of
• 54:00
  those games where team makes a mistake and it costs them throughout the You take
• 54:07
  your foot off their throats and the next thing you know, they start mounting
• 54:10
  a comeback. Uh. Frozen has been known to surprise this season. Kagy
• 54:15
  Edi was a team that was right now is going through a big down in
• 54:19
  their history. But I mean it's not like it's if they're a team that
• 54:22
  had four goals, like like big good enough, what city off for my
• 54:30
  got well over? But I think like ten years now, they went down,
• 54:34
  last year came back. It was last year I went down. Yeah,
• 54:37
  yeah, I don't know why I feel like as if last year they
• 54:40
  were still in the league. Either way, it's like one of those teams
• 54:43
  that you feel like besides that little run last year, you know, like
• 54:46
  anyways, but still sorry, I wouldn't say it's like Frozen is not strong
• 54:54
  enough to hold the lead. And I wouldn't say it's because Ed is like
• 54:58
  a like a team that's like powerful. It's just, honestly, just one
• 55:00
  of those games where the tide just shifted favors and you know, it just
• 55:06
  went, it just went the other way Cagey managed to mount to an unbelievable
• 55:08
  comeback. I think it's just growing pains for Frozen. I think it's just
• 55:12
  more like, okay, well this is a lesson that we learned. You
• 55:15
  know that you never get too comfortable, even no matter how big of a
• 55:17
  lead you have, because there are gonna be teams that are gonna punish you
• 55:21
  like when you play like like I'm pretty sure Throsy if they happen to have
• 55:24
  a two zero lead, Like I'm just using as example, like two zero
• 55:28
  lead versus like Milan Interjuve or or or Anapoly or whatever, like they're gonna,
• 55:32
  you know, do what they can to like park the bus and you
• 55:36
  know, hold the fort. You know what I'm saying. Versus team like
• 55:37
  Cavity, they probably just okay, we could it's we're up three to zero.
• 55:43
  It's a team that is near the bottom of the standings right now.
• 55:46
  We could easily hold this lead and they probably just got relaxed and next thing
• 55:52
  you know, they got punished for it. Yeah. No team, no,
• 55:55
  no team has should be every like going down like that like that.
• 56:00
  That was just absolutely pandemonium insane, especially that it was at home in Calaty.
• 56:06
  Uh. You know, the Sardinians were definitely going bananas in that one.
• 56:10
  You believe it to run yer, right, mister mister clutch when you
• 56:15
  need him. I guess right, he's he's done the improbable before. He's
• 56:19
  he did it again over the weekend match Day ten in the city. Uh
• 56:22
  Paboetti getting the last two goals to to to tie and win the game again.
• 56:28
  Leave it to him to do that for Cality, it's it's he's been
• 56:30
  there now for a while, and he's uh, he's he's been there.
• 56:35
  They're they're bombard as they say in Italy, for for a long time.
• 56:37
  So and they even did it again today right in in Kopidalia, uh getting
• 56:44
  the last, last last minute goal against to to move on in in ink
• 56:50
  Coopidalia. So I think personally it was one of those freak games because listen,
• 56:54
  something like nick that we've never seen before a team do being down,
• 56:59
  you know, I in this in these positions. So obviously Frozen Alan has
• 57:04
  to do better. They've shown that they've been able to do better throughout this
• 57:07
  season. They do have some pieces, nothing crazy, but a guy like
• 57:14
  Sula that's been doing well, that's been doing well recently is obviously what everybody's
• 57:20
  looking at currently. But yeah, there's you cannot allow the teams to come
• 57:24
  back when you're up three zero, you know, going down into the seventy
• 57:28
  minutes. But again, at the beginning of that whole game was was a
• 57:30
  snooze fest. So if you only woke up and you only caught that last
• 57:34
  twenty twenty five minutes, I think you woke up at the right time.
• 57:37
  So yeah, kuros to locality doing it at home for the fans and Torda
• 57:42
  Nieri also for making an appum uh Frozen only there and you know what they
• 57:49
  are one of those I guess surprising teams this season like they you know,
• 57:52
  with win they would have been tied with Bologna in eighth and now twelfth,
• 57:58
  twelfth place, twelve points. But like you said, it is growing pains
• 58:01
  for a young team. But uh, you know, looking looking else around
• 58:08
  elsewhere around the city. It was one of those weekends where they started on
• 58:12
  a Friday and they finished on a Monday, So there was games every every
• 58:17
  single day, which I don't know how I feel about that. I I
• 58:22
  like, I like when they have games. I like when they used to
• 58:24
  have games like three, four or five games at times Sunday morning at nine
• 58:27
  am. They don't do that anymore. It's like one game at nine am
• 58:30
  now on Sunday mornings. But whatever, general started the week off with one
• 58:35
  nothing went against Solernitana, Csola Bolognan. Their derby tied one one uh to
• 58:39
  Reno late goal from or against Lechlach also got also got a late goal against
• 58:52
  Fiorentina on Monday, Atlanta three nothing against uh Empley and then Inter they just
• 58:59
  squeak by Romo one nothing win with Marcus Turam goal on on Sunday. So
• 59:05
  they say in first I think for all you of a fans, We're all
• 59:07
  hoping that they drop points, you know, and looking at Melan, you
• 59:12
  know you've won. On Saturday, looking at Uh, looking at Inter,
• 59:15
  they were playing Roma, Melan, they were playing Napoli all u, all
• 59:20
  the UF fans were hoping for the Melan teams to drop points. Meland did
• 59:22
  their job dropping points and then but of course Inter has to win one nothing.
• 59:28
  It's Romo, so they say it first. I don't know if you
• 59:30
  have the chance to see the game, Johnny, or if you have any
• 59:31
  any thoughts about this loss. Well, I was out of town when the
• 59:35
  game was playing. I was in Toronto and playing the Pokemon competition. Yes
• 59:38
  I'm nerdy, listeners, get it, but I was because, like I
• 59:45
  was playing in the tournament, so I wasn't paying attention till like towards the
• 59:47
  end of the game. But from what I could, from what I saw
• 59:51
  from highlights, so this is not the most analytical point of view. It
• 59:54
  wasn't Roba's best lineup, which I was surprised that, you know, what
• 1:00:00
  do you need decided to go with. Well, it wasn't because Mow has
• 1:00:04
  that right from the was it game before when he won one zero where they
• 1:00:07
  finally broke through. No, No, was it the Verona game? Was
• 1:00:14
  it? Yeah? Like so I'm sorry money now wasn't there so like tactically,
• 1:00:19
  you know, like you could still you know, he was still pulling
• 1:00:22
  the stricts behind the scenes. But anyways, the lineup was a bit questionable.
• 1:00:24
  Seemed like a very reserved lineup, but it just hurt offensively, you
• 1:00:29
  know, like not having the valot available, and this is one of those
• 1:00:34
  games where it's like you could have really used him. I'm not saying l
• 1:00:37
  Schwar is a bad player. He just didn't have one of his best games.
• 1:00:40
  Uh, And it was just like I just want to say something about
• 1:00:44
  it, Tadasti. You know, like they're all shipped on Hukaku right now
• 1:00:46
  because like like because he loved and stuff. But like the guy also was
• 1:00:51
  on the team that won you that, you know, like you could shore
• 1:00:53
  on him. But like all the whistles, all the whistles, did you
• 1:00:55
  bring your whistle Johnny to the tournament so you can whistle? Oh, I
• 1:00:59
  didn't becuse They're also kind of just qualified. That's how it works, unfortunately
• 1:01:01
  for disruption. But no, it wasn't. It wasn't Roma's best lineup,
• 1:01:06
  so it wasn't the best result. I just feel like it's I I I
• 1:01:15
  have to see their the return game to see how they would go, because
• 1:01:16
  I don't want to judge it. I don't think it's one of those games
• 1:01:19
  where like I feel like it's like, I feel like the storylin would be
• 1:01:22
  different with a full lineup. It's easy to say, obviously, but it's
• 1:01:25
  also would be different to say, like if Monino was still there, like
• 1:01:29
  Monino being on the bench and making changes or adaptations on the fly with that
• 1:01:32
  would have definitely helped. Because as much as like Inter kind of like dominated
• 1:01:39
  in terms of expected goals and like ball possession, I just felt that some
• 1:01:45
  of the player choices weren't the best ones. I think that that's probably the
• 1:01:50
  biggest critique I could take of that. But I mean, like it just
• 1:01:54
  sawid if it was a itter was eventually going to score for how much they
• 1:01:59
  were Pepper and Romo. It's just they didn't have enough of a good enough
• 1:02:04
  strategy to hit them back on the clip back. That's what it was.
• 1:02:07
  So props in there. They got the three points that they wanted maintain their
• 1:02:12
  top of the stand needs, which is what they're aiming for, uh,
• 1:02:15
  maintain their top form. Uh, if I'm not mistaken. Uh they think
• 1:02:20
  what they only lost one game so far this year. Yeah, they only
• 1:02:22
  lost one, so they're they're they're they're pushing from that. Squ that though,
• 1:02:27
  but you've not having any competition to play in just having to leak the
• 1:02:31
  focus on is rather big for them. It's really big because that means that
• 1:02:37
  it can have moments of fatigue and they'll be ready to strike and continue because
• 1:02:42
  they have other games to stress out for, which sucks because I don't want
• 1:02:45
  to see you may win. I'd rather see it to get their second start,
• 1:02:47
  but I don't want I don't want to see either of that to happen.
• 1:02:52
  But yeah, exactly, I don't know where I would lie. But
• 1:02:57
  it's funny you bring on that up again. Many mentioned it earlier on in
• 1:03:00
  the show. I guess I really didn't put too much into it, like
• 1:03:05
  at the beginning of the season, Like obviously I knew you was only in
• 1:03:08
  the one competition, But again, the season is long, like we all
• 1:03:12
  know, there's still a lot of culture to be played, so we'll see
• 1:03:15
  how things pan out. I think, uh, for for all the top
• 1:03:20
  teams and even the teams that are climbing trying to get back into you know,
• 1:03:23
  Top four or Europe, you know, the lot so the Romas of
• 1:03:28
  the world. So I don't know it's just me, but Morinos never on
• 1:03:31
  the sideline when they play Into, like he always has to be in the
• 1:03:35
  tremona, like he just doesn't want to be there. I don't know's it's
• 1:03:37
  it's it's funny to me that he's he's he always seems to be up in
• 1:03:42
  the up in the stands when they when they play Into, at least in
• 1:03:44
  my in my head. But I think going back just to that game quickly
• 1:03:49
  before we move on, you know that that Romo wasn't wrong, Like Roma
• 1:03:52
  could be a lot more. Obviously we didn't see it. Uh, and
• 1:03:57
  what we spoke about, I think was it last week, Uh, you
• 1:04:00
  know, into being into and you know, being like, if you want
• 1:04:03
  to admit it or not, the best team in Italy, the depth,
• 1:04:06
  the signs that they've added, We've always said it, We've continuously said it.
• 1:04:10
  So I think that's kind of where it fell in this match. You
• 1:04:15
  know, the you know, the the better of lineup, the better of
• 1:04:17
  depth, the better of form. I think all went uh swaying into his
• 1:04:23
  favor and uh, you know, they were able to get the results.
• 1:04:30
  I don't know if there are other guys the other games, you guys uh
• 1:04:35
  want to talk about. I don't know if you guys had the chance to
• 1:04:38
  watch lots of Fiorentina was on a truer rommbula. I saw the ending.
• 1:04:43
  I saw the game. I saw the ending. I was like, there
• 1:04:45
  is no way in how this just happened. Like but again leaveing to Sadia
• 1:04:49
  to have this kind of drama at the end. So I guess I was
• 1:04:53
  surprised, but not surprised at the same time. I didn't see you it
• 1:04:57
  was. Was it a foul that led to that? Tell me hand ball?
• 1:05:00
  It was a handball? Handball Milankovic in the box, uh he said
• 1:05:04
  he hit off his head or chest area you know before because he had his
• 1:05:10
  hand out again. I didn't see all the all the you know, all
• 1:05:14
  the all the angles of uh of the uh you know, the replay of
• 1:05:18
  the incident, but it looked like it was just I don't know why tried
• 1:05:24
  his hand out like the way he did. You put yourself even in the
• 1:05:28
  just by you putting yourself in that position, you know, is already a
• 1:05:30
  big no no, especially in the box. So again, if people want
• 1:05:35
  to say it wasn't a penalty, it wasn't penalty. Whatever they went to
• 1:05:40
  Var they called it. We'll speak about Var in a in a different light,
• 1:05:45
  maybe a later, But yeah, I know it was. It was
• 1:05:47
  what it was. And again leave it to to to to sought at home
• 1:05:53
  for for for Latso. You know, mister mister clutch on the penalty spot
• 1:06:00
  for for lotso the last couple of years, and he does it again literally
• 1:06:03
  the last kick of the game. His celebration took so long that I don't
• 1:06:09
  even think they bother going to the center field to to do the kickoff.
• 1:06:13
  So that was they pretty much had enough. It was over do I think
• 1:06:16
  that was the result that should have happened. I didn't watch the whole game,
• 1:06:19
  so I'm not gonna say yes or no, But for it being zero
• 1:06:23
  zero for that long and it taking a penalty at literally the ninety fourth,
• 1:06:27
  ninety fifth minute to win the game, again, maybe the zero zero would
• 1:06:31
  have been the just the right result. Maybe maybe fiud Inta didn't deserve to
• 1:06:36
  lose, but again they probably didn't deserve to win either, So kudos to
• 1:06:42
  to Lotso making their way up hopefully the standings. So maybe hopefully my prediction
• 1:06:46
  can kind of be right and I'm squeaking into the top four. But for
• 1:06:50
  me, I think for a lots So it's one game at a time because
• 1:06:53
  they've obviously looked a lot worse. So uh yeah, kudos to them.
• 1:06:57
  Yeah, if it's a handball, I mean again I didn't see it,
• 1:06:59
  but these defenders, they're told to put their hands behind their back, put
• 1:07:03
  them attached to the body. You know you're making it risk was he was
• 1:07:08
  reaching towards I don't even know who the player he was trying to mark,
• 1:07:11
  and it was just one of those freak things as happened to be out and
• 1:07:15
  again like you're gonna say, yeah, don't what the fuck you're doing,
• 1:07:17
  don't put your hands out. But yeah, even uh So, I didn't
• 1:07:23
  have the opportunity to watch you the game either, I did, you know,
• 1:07:28
  see the highlight, So I can't talk about how you've a performed obviously,
• 1:07:30
  one nothing win. I'll take it. As Benny said before, three
• 1:07:34
  points is three points and I think these are really this It was a game
• 1:07:42
  that if it finished finished a resero, it would have been absolute defleation for
• 1:07:46
  for you. You know, they'll take it one nothing, but the fact
• 1:07:49
  that they had two other goals, you know, the first goal offside.
• 1:07:54
  Of course we're going to complain it was offside by by the back of his
• 1:07:58
  heel. Of course, it's frustrating. It's such a marginal amount. Of
• 1:08:02
  course, you know under the old sorry I said, I mean we can
• 1:08:09
  shoot on juve A. We want me and Johnny and the rest of the
• 1:08:13
  rest of Italy. But like if I was on, if I was the
• 1:08:15
  fan of that that happened, because but you know, there's no advantage there,
• 1:08:20
  like I don't know, no right there, there isn't And of course
• 1:08:24
  you know without vard, you know that's a goal. It's not a it's
• 1:08:28
  not a clear and obvious mistake. Right. But at the end of the
• 1:08:30
  day, I've said this on the podcast before, you have to draw a
• 1:08:32
  line somewhere and you know, if this happened, yeah, and if this
• 1:08:38
  happened against you, I wouldn't be complaining. And it just it is what
• 1:08:42
  it is with the off side. Offside is one of the most frustrating things
• 1:08:45
  because it's like, oh man, if his heel was just this much closer,
• 1:08:47
  it would be a goal. You know how many times did we see
• 1:08:49
  that with Maratta? Uh three years ago now? He had one game against
• 1:08:55
  Verona on the same day, I believe, I think they they twotos.
• 1:08:59
  I think it was also on a October twenty eighth against Verona that he scored
• 1:09:02
  three goals and they were all ruled out. So I could be wrong about
• 1:09:09
  the date, but I'm pretty sure was the game against Rona with the pink
• 1:09:11
  jerseys. Three goals off side, so you know, Kean unlucky with that.
• 1:09:16
  But the second one with the foul, that's a bit. That's that's
• 1:09:19
  one where you could argue, you could you could question the referee because you
• 1:09:26
  know, Federone was apparently fouled in the build up to the play. That's
• 1:09:31
  what the referee ruled. But the fact that he stayed down and looked up
• 1:09:35
  until they scored and then like put his head back down is very questionable.
• 1:09:40
  Uh, it's not. It's not sportsmanlike. I don't think, you know,
• 1:09:45
  especially if he's fine, just get up and go back in the play.
• 1:09:47
  If there is a foul, the referee is gonna go back and and
• 1:09:50
  check far the foul was like a hand to the face. It's very minor,
• 1:09:54
  and it's one of those things that some referees are probably gonna call that
• 1:09:59
  and then others aren't. And and you know, offside black and white,
• 1:10:03
  but a foul in the build up isn't so black and white. So that
• 1:10:05
  that that goal being taken away is more frustrating. But at the end of
• 1:10:10
  the day, you know, Kean did put two balls in the net.
• 1:10:12
  Yet that has to help with confidence somewhat, you know, because we know
• 1:10:15
  he doesn't score all that much. But obviously you know Cambiaso coming through in
• 1:10:20
  the clutch at the end, you know, ball bounces off the post lines
• 1:10:24
  right out of his feet. You know you've able to take it even you
• 1:10:28
  know, when I saw the highlight of that goal, my first thought was
• 1:10:30
  like, I'm surprised they didn't wait until like Varkin from the goal before celebrating.
• 1:10:34
  Imagine they celebrated that and then Vart takes that away too. But yeah,
• 1:10:40
  and I think I think you've placed Farentina this weekend, which is going
• 1:10:44
  to be a very interesting game. Obviously, you know, you look at
• 1:10:48
  the standings right now, You've still is in second Farentina is in six so
• 1:10:51
  it's not you know, it's not a direct direct uh, you know rival
• 1:10:59
  in the standing because they are six points apart. But you know, you've
• 1:11:01
  a Fuarantina. There is a history of rivalry, a lot of players have
• 1:11:04
  gone from Farentina TV fans don't like each other, and at the end of
• 1:11:09
  the day, they're playing a good team and these are these are three points
• 1:11:12
  you need. These are three points and you need more than anything. And
• 1:11:15
  and then at the end of the month, if it please enter, which
• 1:11:18
  could be an early Scudetto deciding game. I'm not saying whoever wins is going
• 1:11:23
  to win the Scudetto, but those are three points you need for the Scudetto.
• 1:11:28
  Yeah, no, and just even just your you know, going back
• 1:11:30
  to the Furentina match, I mean, you know Fiorentina takes that game,
• 1:11:33
  they make that margin closer. So maybe not you want to say, maybe
• 1:11:39
  not direct, uh, you know, arrival in terms of the standings,
• 1:11:43
  but it could shift that way depending on depending on the result, you know,
• 1:11:46
  going forward. So another team in that mix, if I'm not mistaken,
• 1:11:51
  Atalanta, I think right with their with their three points, Uh,
• 1:11:56
  the Queen Sheeta over the weekend. Oh no, sorry, were they Monday?
• 1:12:00
  I don't even remember. Now, so many games Monday, I think,
• 1:12:02
  yeah, yeah, yeah, they just just got into the top four.
• 1:12:08
  Many people going it as the Kamaka show. Obviously getting two goals.
• 1:12:12
  Uh, yeah, I didn't. I didn't. I didn't see. Uh,
• 1:12:15
  I didn't see. I saw one of them. I don't know,
• 1:12:18
  I don't know. I don't remember the other one. I don't think I
• 1:12:20
  saw the other one. But you know, he's uh, you know,
• 1:12:25
  people going to show on him. That's fine. Uh, I think he's
• 1:12:28
  he's falling at a place at Atalanta in my personal opinion that uh, you
• 1:12:33
  know suits him. Uh. You know, they want to get forward,
• 1:12:38
  they want to know, continue to try to score goals. Uh. They
• 1:12:42
  have some pieces on their team. It's not the same Atlanta obviously from a
• 1:12:45
  couple of years, you know, a half four years ago, but they
• 1:12:48
  they do still have some pieces. And him getting two goals, uh,
• 1:12:55
  you know. To add to Italian said after he had that interesting time at
• 1:13:00
  West Ham, I think for him and his confidence, I could only go
• 1:13:02
  higher. Uh. And again this is a p where I like for the
• 1:13:05
  national team. I know people are gonna probably disagree with me there and personally
• 1:13:09
  I don't really care, but if you disagree or not. But he's he's
• 1:13:13
  he's another piece of the puzzle. I think he has to be. We
• 1:13:15
  need a striker to score for the national team, why can't they be him?
• 1:13:19
  So you know his performances and said, yeah, have to translate over
• 1:13:24
  for me to the national team because in a month, not even November first
• 1:13:28
  today, guys, a couple of weeks, we're gonna need uh, you
• 1:13:31
  know, him and company to help us qualify and secure a place for the
• 1:13:38
  Euros. So yeah, I don't know, just Atlanta again getting back into
• 1:13:43
  the top four and making it again tricky for for predictions down the stretch.
• 1:13:47
  There's so many teams, like we've said, I remember last week we were
• 1:13:51
  speaking a bit about other teams trying to make that creep into the into these
• 1:13:55
  positions, but there's just so much competition that for me, it's hard to
• 1:13:59
  really, uh take an outsider team to really get in there. So Atlanta
• 1:14:02
  doing the work that they need to do. And yes, Camacho's corn as
• 1:14:06
  well, which is is obviously obviously nice. Uh. I don't know if
• 1:14:13
  you guys noticed therescope Utalia today. Uh round of thirty two? Crazy?
• 1:14:17
  Uh yeah, round of thirty two. Some interesting results in that Lecha lost
• 1:14:27
  to Parma, so a city B team be the city team Tomorrow. Soulo
• 1:14:32
  does play Spetsia, so Spetzia is in City of B. We'll see,
• 1:14:35
  We'll be interesting to see how that plays out. Uh. Criminase Johnny by
• 1:14:41
  the way, Criminaze beach it Tadella, which means that Criminase will play Roma
• 1:14:45
  in the round of sixteen and Criminaza knocked out Roma last year. Do you
• 1:14:50
  do you think Roma is gonna go in with PTSD Uh? Probably Uh,
• 1:14:57
  It's I don't know, it's I have a feeling you're still gonna lose again.
• 1:15:02
  It's it's it's a bold prediction, but it's gonna be because Peminens is
• 1:15:06
  gonna be obviously going to gung Ho and if anything were to repeat like last
• 1:15:13
  year, I think Morego just cares about top four in Europa League. He
• 1:15:16
  is he wouldn't care about Kobe Dallias, so for him, I don't think
• 1:15:19
  he's gonna even field like a like their best lineup for that game. They
• 1:15:24
  also do a win eighty and just put the most dominant lineup and then try
• 1:15:28
  to embarrass them, but I highly doubt that happens. This is all what
• 1:15:30
  we're talking about. That's interesting. But even the games today there was like
• 1:15:38
  a want of late goals, crazy results. So yeah, Genoa, Genoa
• 1:15:43
  needed at a time to beat the Regiona and then also Cality needed at a
• 1:15:48
  time to beat Eutinese a lot Padua in the one hundred and twentieth minutes,
• 1:15:53
  so they're the real comeback boys. They were down one nothing in that game,
• 1:15:57
  scored to gole and in the eightioth eightieth minute and then LaPadula at the
• 1:16:00
  one hundred and twentieth. I like the bracket this year because you got on
• 1:16:06
  one side of the bracket, you got Lazio, Genua, Roma, Criminese,
• 1:16:10
  so the winners of those will play each other. So we could see
• 1:16:12
  Latso Roma in the quarterfinals. On that same side, you got Juve Cellernitana
• 1:16:16
  and then not Believe versus the winner of three and Froze, and so I
• 1:16:19
  means you got you could have you Monopoly in the quarters and then Milan and
• 1:16:24
  Inter also on the same side and could meet up in the semifinals. So
• 1:16:28
  could could be very dramatic, but we know there's all all kinds of upsets.
• 1:16:31
  Uh in the Colpe Italia. A couple more games tomorrow and then the
• 1:16:34
  Round of thirty two will start or started. The Round of sixteen will actually
• 1:16:38
  start earlier this year the normal with games. Uh, it's weird they're doing
• 1:16:43
  They're gonna be doing some games first week of December, some games right before
• 1:16:46
  Christmas, and then other games first week of January. So the quarterfinals or
• 1:16:49
  sorry, the Round of sixteen spread out over the entire month. I don't
• 1:16:55
  know if there's anything else you guys want to talk about before before we we
• 1:16:58
  go. Uh saw twitter that Bayern got eliminated by a third division team.
• 1:17:03
  Oh yeah, and and they're in the German Cup. Yeah, and apparently
• 1:17:08
  Delitt is hurt again. And and someone tweeted that Byron's gonna be looking for
• 1:17:15
  the receipt to return him. He hasn't been He hasn't been that good.
• 1:17:19
  He's been benched with with Byron h. Yeah, he's an interesting player because
• 1:17:26
  he does have the potential, but then he just makes mistakes. And you
• 1:17:29
  saw that. You he's very inconsistent. He's a good player, like he's
• 1:17:32
  a player you want on your team. But is he worth how much?
• 1:17:36
  Yeah, he's still young. Is he worth how much Byron played for him,
• 1:17:41
  paid for him? Probably not probably, And I think you've did a
• 1:17:44
  good job selling him and get getting Braymer because Bramer has been so solid.
• 1:17:47
  He's been so solid for you. Not many handballs either, Yeah, he's
• 1:17:53
  not playing, but Brember is not playing volleyball. He's just he's just going
• 1:17:57
  back into the archives and points some kieni uh performances bandaged up and all he's
• 1:18:03
  pulling. Uh, he's doing his best achill in the impression at you.
• 1:18:06
  So if they can stick with that, I think, uh, you know,
• 1:18:11
  you're raising good hands with with a galley Bremer and by you know,
• 1:18:14
  at center back position. One thing I did want to say, and again
• 1:18:17
  I don't want to end on a negative, but just a concerning thing again.
• 1:18:24
  We we hope uh to see Fabio Rosso recover after that terrible, terrible
• 1:18:30
  incident. You know obviously the Marseille Leon uh match that didn't get plaid.
• 1:18:39
  We would have seen again another it'll be two and six teammates going against each
• 1:18:45
  other. Grosso, Grtuzzo. We saw Pierlo and who was a Pierlo and
• 1:18:51
  in Zagi for sather Samdoria we saw Giliardino, Nesta General, Gianna Inalia.
• 1:19:01
  So so many legendary Italian players go now managers going against each other, which
• 1:19:08
  is cool to see. But the incident on the bus again, guys,
• 1:19:11
  I don't know if you saw it, I would think you guys, did
• 1:19:15
  the leon fans throwing throwing uh the rocks, the rocks to to the to
• 1:19:24
  the bus right and uh, you know, breaking the glass and you know,
• 1:19:29
  surprise, surprise, there's people on the other side of that grass when
• 1:19:31
  it does break, and he could obviously injure and uh to really hurt some
• 1:19:36
  people. So uh, you know, girls have been in the crossfire of
• 1:19:40
  that. That the pictures and the images that I saw that afterwards was totally
• 1:19:45
  it was just disgusting to see uh, stuff of that nature happening. Pretty
• 1:19:50
  uh, pretty scary stuff. You know. He did get you know,
• 1:19:54
  glass up in the face there and you know, blood everywhere. I had
• 1:20:00
  all kinds of stitches. So again, we wish him well, we hope
• 1:20:03
  for for for a good recovery because you know, those those initial shots and
• 1:20:09
  those initial pictures were really, uh really tough to tough to see. So
• 1:20:14
  yeah, it's kind of one thing I wanted to do to say as well
• 1:20:16
  for for Grosso because again he's he's new, he's new as manager there and
• 1:20:21
  uh, to have an incident like this and just chaotic and you know,
• 1:20:27
  fans not not going to events, sporting events to do what they're supposed to
• 1:20:30
  be doing. It's just something that we don't want to see in football and
• 1:20:33
  cultural and soccer whatever you want to call it. So yeah, we're with
• 1:20:38
