  Speaker 1: Napoli Roma fan. But we're gonna call Jenny. You know

  Speaker 1: the couture guys he drowned Quis and the good old Jenny.
• 0:19
  Speaker 2: How's going but two Teamy Camo Johanny so paying Well,
• 0:36
  Speaker 2: how about I'm doing okay? How about you guys?
• 0:40
  Speaker 1: About you thought you're in some culture? Culture Tori Bret
• 0:44
  Speaker 1: YouTube video?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: Why not?
• 0:45
  Speaker 3: Man?
• 0:45
  Speaker 2: That would have been fun? They should they should hire us.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Let's see it like make us like how was be stupid?
• 0:51
  Speaker 2: On the show?
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: I saw they they had one of their you know
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: videos where they just dubbed high lights of a game.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: It was actually taken down they posted about and last
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: week I didn't see video it was about. I think
• 1:05
  Speaker 1: it was a Melan game and it was taken down
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: for copyright issues.
• 1:08
  Speaker 2: So so how does how does the LT get away
• 1:10
  Speaker 2: with it?
• 1:10
  Speaker 3: Then?
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: Sorry, yeah, I said st rookie, I mentally have to
• 1:15
  Speaker 1: go no. But they wrote that they it should be
• 1:19
  Speaker 1: fine because it's parody. So I know, like, let's say,
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: in the States, I know there's laws. I think it's
• 1:24
  Speaker 1: the same in Canada too. You could copy something if
• 1:27
  Speaker 1: it's for a parody case. That's why SNL works and
• 1:30
  Speaker 1: they could use all these company so I guess it's
• 1:32
  Speaker 1: the same thing in Italy.
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: And I even saw I even saw it was it
• 1:39
  Speaker 3: had I saw on socials he had an incidant with
• 1:42
  Speaker 3: that for like a three second clip or like a
• 1:45
  Speaker 3: five second clip part of his whole video that he
• 1:47
  Speaker 3: edited to take it down. I'm like, he's like, yo,
• 1:51
  Speaker 3: I'm trying to promote the fucking league and it's like
• 1:53
  Speaker 3: I'm getting I'm getting banned. It.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: It's a crazy you mean the league with the stop
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: see or.
• 2:01
  Speaker 3: Exactly.
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: No, No, it's stole That's what That's what I'm saying.
• 2:06
  Speaker 2: It's still so I'm piracy. You're telling us to promote
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: it anyways, So.
• 2:12
  Speaker 3: Oh man, we can't have that.
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: Every time I see that hashtag stole Pacy, it just
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: makes me laugh. Oh yeah yeah, And you.
• 2:21
  Speaker 2: Know that hashtag is like what three four years old?
• 2:25
  Speaker 2: This ship out to them like like I'm like, they
• 2:29
  Speaker 2: speak they speak English, and there's people that do take
• 2:31
  Speaker 2: English courses there, like what the hell? Anyways?
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: Whatever the image of like the lonely fan in the
• 2:38
  Speaker 3: stands where it's like all abandoned and stuff like bro.
• 2:41
  Speaker 4: What is this?
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: It's this is like nineteen ninety nine or something. I
• 2:46
  Speaker 3: don't know what that picture. Oh man, Uh, you.
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: Know, at least in Canada we got the zone. We
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: have to pay five hundred dollars a year for it
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: just to get the City Champions League NFL.
• 2:56
  Speaker 3: All in one. It's crazy, but.
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Piracy kills, right. Uh. We've got to be positive, at
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: least for for Jenny, because Jenny, if we told you
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: after two match days that Roma would have the same
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: amount of points as kriminal As, you'd probably be just
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: disappointed thinking they're you know, zero one two. But here
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: they are top of the table, third and fourth place,
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: right behind Juve. I mean we'll start with Roma to
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: uh two one nothing wins over Bologna and Pisa. The
• 3:27
  Speaker 1: newly promoted Pisa goal goal from Sue uh first game,
• 3:35
  Speaker 1: I already already drew a blank. Who scored it was?
• 3:37
  Speaker 5: It was Wesley, right, yeah, it was Wesley score Yeah
• 3:40
  Speaker 5: but this but this game, this goal, it was a
• 3:42
  Speaker 5: pretty much even team X human team that contributed to
• 3:45
  Speaker 5: the goal between Dabala soule Gas Green is your coach
• 3:48
  Speaker 5: x event team right there.
• 3:50
  Speaker 1: But regardless, I know it's two games Jenny, but it
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: has to be a good positive start. It feels like
• 3:54
  Speaker 1: they're kind of carrying momentum from last season.
• 3:57
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's well. Obviously, like with the start of the season,
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: I have my concerns in the preview show, especially when
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: it came to like, you know, how's this I'm not
• 4:08
  Speaker 2: gonna look under Gasparini, especially he's new to the team,
• 4:12
  Speaker 2: and like how big good players are gonna adapt to,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: like I guess his system if you want to call
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: it any kind of like you know what I mean,
• 4:19
  Speaker 2: like the three four three not something that they're used
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: to using. But honestly speaking, they've been doing well. It's
• 4:29
  Speaker 2: definitely not a start that I expected for them. Some
• 4:32
  Speaker 2: hiccups here and there, but I think that they find
• 4:35
  Speaker 2: it refreshing playing under Gasparini, and I feel like the
• 4:37
  Speaker 2: players are a little bit more hopeful this season. Plus
• 4:40
  Speaker 2: Dibala being fully healthy makes a big difference for the roster.
• 4:43
  Speaker 2: You could see it in the way they play. You
• 4:45
  Speaker 2: could see them the way they like they perform offensively,
• 4:50
  Speaker 2: and it's I think the additions have been good so far.
• 4:52
  Speaker 2: So Sulely last year is pretty much picking up for
• 4:55
  Speaker 2: him as he did this year and stuff. So it's
• 4:58
  Speaker 2: i think, first the action shock to see them, to
• 5:04
  Speaker 2: see them this, to see them doing this well this
• 5:08
  Speaker 2: early on in the season. So let's hope it continued.
• 5:11
  Speaker 2: I'm not gonna get too excited just yet because it
• 5:15
  Speaker 2: is only two games in, you know. For the last
• 5:18
  Speaker 2: game was against Pisa. First game was my god, Bologna, Bologna, Bologna.
• 5:27
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 5:28
  Speaker 2: Yeah, Still that's still a very respectable opponent, you know,
• 5:31
  Speaker 2: So I'm not gonna get too hyped yet. I mean,
• 5:34
  Speaker 2: but great start. Better than what I expected, and that's
• 5:36
  Speaker 2: the best. I think most of ROMANISTI are basically going
• 5:39
  Speaker 2: to say that that it's definitely better than what they've
• 5:42
  Speaker 2: expected with the as as what they have this year,
• 5:45
  Speaker 2: you know, just expect this kind of a start, but
• 5:47
  Speaker 2: they did.
• 5:48
  Speaker 1: But you know, at the very least they're breaking some momentum.
• 5:51
  Speaker 1: Obviously they have one more game and then there's the derby. Yeah,
• 5:53
  Speaker 1: they're playing Threno after the break, and then uh Latio
• 5:56
  Speaker 1: on September twenty first, So it feels like, you know,
• 6:00
  Speaker 1: that's already make it a break, not make it or
• 6:02
  Speaker 1: break it. But that's the real true test, right Johnny.
• 6:04
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like Juve where yes, two wins against
• 6:08
  Speaker 1: Partlam in general, but next games against insert that's that's,
• 6:11
  Speaker 1: that's the game. We need to talk about them. When
• 6:12
  Speaker 1: you focus on.
• 6:13
  Speaker 2: Yes one percent, it's it's uh more for about the
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: serious I don't know, I don'tant to call them like
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: like I said BLO, I wouldn't said they're unserious. But
• 6:22
  Speaker 2: it's more about the more threatening teams that if you
• 6:25
  Speaker 2: want to make it to the top four, these are
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: teams are gonna have to be to stay into the
• 6:28
  Speaker 2: top four because it's been gunning for this top four
• 6:30
  Speaker 2: since since our last appearance in Champions League in twenty nineteen. Yeah,
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: yeah's bes.
• 6:37
  Speaker 3: Already been six years. It's it's it's it's it's far
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: too long, I think, just to bounce off to the
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: Roman points like you know a lot of people even
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: saying like to bounce off to what Johnny said. You
• 6:48
  Speaker 3: know a lot of people were like, oh, well, how
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: long is it gonna take for you know, these types
• 6:51
  Speaker 3: of players to get adjusted to Gus Padini, to his system.
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: We always know how you know, it's not an overnight
• 6:57
  Speaker 3: thing with with Gus Spadini, and I guess and I'm
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: gonna we're gonna sound like broken records until we kind
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: of maybe reached like halfway through the season, but managining
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: the expectations and just like really taking one game at
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: a time because we, like Jenny said, it's only week two,
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: it's only match A two, and you know, yeah, okay,
• 7:16
  Speaker 3: you can win your first two games, but you could
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: also go on a bad run of five share losses
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: or something on those lines. So I think it's, uh,
• 7:23
  Speaker 3: what's with all our teams and just even the league
• 7:26
  Speaker 3: in general, and no matter who you support, I think,
• 7:28
  Speaker 3: you know, just temper, temper, the excitement. I think, just
• 7:31
  Speaker 3: try to keep you know, even Keel and I guess
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: one shocking point for me is that they've kind of
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: adjusted to got spademia and he you know, they've they
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: seem to be working well together and and for him
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: as well. So that's something that's always tricky with a
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: new man drive find and especially in Roma's case, they've
• 7:48
  Speaker 3: they've really had their their fair share of managers over
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: the last what, Johnny two seasons, I would.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: Say, well about two three seasons of like ever since
• 7:57
  Speaker 2: ever since Marino left, you know, it's been sickly just
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: a rotating door of managers coming in exactly trying to
• 8:03
  Speaker 2: find something.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so Whatson, if there's one person that finds the
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: bility with I think it's a guy like Gasparini. I
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: think we all know that it's it's how long this
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: relationship could last. If this is just a honeymoon, you know, period,
• 8:17
  Speaker 3: or is this the in for the long goal? We'll see.
• 8:20
  Speaker 3: But like Jenny said, so far, so good for Roma.
• 8:23
  Speaker 2: One thing I want to add also that I forgot
• 8:25
  Speaker 2: to mention before. What I do enjoy about the Gasparini
• 8:29
  Speaker 2: system is that it seems way more offensive than what
• 8:33
  Speaker 2: I'm used to see in Roma play. But it also
• 8:36
  Speaker 2: it also like makes them I feel like as if
• 8:39
  Speaker 2: they're they're a bit more prone to like mental lapses.
• 8:41
  Speaker 2: Sometimes it's not that, not in a worry of some sense,
• 8:46
  Speaker 2: it's more like because they do have some like they
• 8:49
  Speaker 2: did have a good performance since VLR needs to be
• 8:51
  Speaker 2: fully credited as Villar has been having a terror like
• 8:54
  Speaker 2: terrific performance. It's he's continuing his forum from last season
• 8:57
  Speaker 2: too of being being a really strong keeper and helping
• 9:00
  Speaker 2: them out. But that is something that I think that
• 9:02
  Speaker 2: we need to keep an eye on for this team,
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: that it could be a potential blotch on the record
• 9:09
  Speaker 2: right now in the sense of, like is his system
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: so great offensively that it kind of creates a hole
• 9:15
  Speaker 2: in the back end, especially that it's a three man
• 9:17
  Speaker 2: back line. It takes a lot of responsibility for that,
• 9:20
  Speaker 2: and you know, we need man Cheating to be the
• 9:22
  Speaker 2: strong and secure center back that he has to be
• 9:26
  Speaker 2: if they want to succeed, because that, like that back
• 9:29
  Speaker 2: line relies on him. I feel like as if you know,
• 9:32
  Speaker 2: he does have his moments, but he has matured over
• 9:35
  Speaker 2: the years a bit, and he does he is a
• 9:36
  Speaker 2: bit of an instigator, but like in a sense mature
• 9:38
  Speaker 2: of like now he instigates to get the calls for him,
• 9:41
  Speaker 2: you know what I mean. So anyway, that's one thing
• 9:44
  Speaker 2: that you guys should also keep an eye on as well,
• 9:46
  Speaker 2: like whenever, like whenever we talk about this in the future,
• 9:49
  Speaker 2: you know, like, has Roma adapted defensively well or is
• 9:52
  Speaker 2: it like this new system also compromising their defense.
• 9:56
  Speaker 3: Yeah, even the new pieces that they've added to I
• 9:59
  Speaker 3: know we're going to maybe Metcato throughout the episode, but
• 10:02
  Speaker 3: since it's now officially closed in Italy, but some of
• 10:05
  Speaker 3: the new pieces that they've added, like you know we
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: mentioned Wesley last week, you know, scoring his debut goal
• 10:11
  Speaker 3: on the first match day. And you know they bring
• 10:13
  Speaker 3: in ferguson right, the striker, the Irish striker.
• 10:17
  Speaker 2: And assisted assisted last yeah he assisted last game, yeah yeah, yeah.
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: And you know, and what was it the Greek guys
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: there from from Liverpool. I believe I think he's a
• 10:29
  Speaker 3: left back or a left wing back or something like that.
• 10:31
  Speaker 3: So some of these pieces that they've introduced, and there's
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: probably more than I'm probably forgetting, but you know, I
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: wasn't so sure of me personally looking on the outside,
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: and it wasn't so sure how these guys would maybe
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: fit in. But again, like the start for Rome, I
• 10:47
  Speaker 3: think these players have have have started off on the
• 10:51
  Speaker 3: right foot as well.
• 10:54
  Speaker 1: The last time Roma playing the champions. Like this photo,
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: same year as this photo with our friend Richard. Hopefully
• 11:01
  Speaker 1: Richard sees this, uh six years ago today. I just
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: wanted to shut that up. One of the one of
• 11:06
  Speaker 1: the fun moments in the podcast history. When Richard came,
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: we brought up. We brought him to NDG hot Dog
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: had some nice Kibick hot dogs. He came with his
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: wife and son and came to the studio.
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: That was fun.
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: About one of the best people ever, people ever, legend,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: real legend.
• 11:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah uh yeah, speaking about Roma and Europe. And they're
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: playing Europa League. Uh their opponents who announced niece Lil
• 11:36
  Speaker 1: Victoria Pleasant. It feels like they always play Victoria Pleasant
• 11:39
  Speaker 1: yea Rangers, mitchelland Celtic Stuttgart and Nico. So we'll see
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: how they do in Europa League. But I think, guys,
• 11:48
  Speaker 1: the big story in the city after two games has
• 11:50
  Speaker 1: to be Criminizing two wins out of two they beat
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: so Swallow and Meland. Obviously, I think I think the
• 11:57
  Speaker 1: meal I'm going alone is huge for them.
• 12:01
  Speaker 3: Guys.
• 12:02
  Speaker 1: We know they're not winning the city. Yeah, we know
• 12:05
  Speaker 1: we're not gonna make Champions League. Let's be real, We've
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: done this podcast long enough. This is you know what's
• 12:10
  Speaker 1: fall twenty eighteen, all over all over Harma, even twenty nineteen.
• 12:13
  Speaker 1: There's been teams that start the season hot. You feel
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: good for them regardless. This is good for Criminizing the
• 12:20
  Speaker 1: sense that they probably had a goal at the begin
• 12:21
  Speaker 1: of the season. Let's say, I don't know, tan to
• 12:23
  Speaker 1: twelve wins, forty points around in that range to you know,
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: save themselves from red legation already. Six points in two
• 12:32
  Speaker 1: games is huge for that. But I think the bigger
• 12:35
  Speaker 1: story also is Jami've already coming in, Brads. I don't
• 12:38
  Speaker 1: know how much she has left in the tank, but
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: this is a guy who knows what it's like to
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: win a championship with the team that was supposed to
• 12:46
  Speaker 1: be relegated.
• 12:47
  Speaker 4: Leicester City.
• 12:47
  Speaker 1: Maybe a bit different circumstances because Lester was already up
• 12:51
  Speaker 1: in the Premier League when they did win the when
• 12:53
  Speaker 1: they did win the league versus Criminazing is just coming out. Okay,
• 12:56
  Speaker 1: we're not gonna draw comparisons here, but it's just funny.
• 12:59
  Speaker 1: Exactly ten years later after that lesser miracle win, right
• 13:04
  Speaker 1: and he comes over.
• 13:05
  Speaker 4: We'll see.
• 13:05
  Speaker 1: I don't know, I look, I don't know too much
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: about Criminaze that players. I don't know if he's gonna
• 13:09
  Speaker 1: be starting right away, but we'll see how long this
• 13:13
  Speaker 1: magical run lasts. It almost feels like the international break
• 13:16
  Speaker 1: is kind of ruining their momentum. Yeah, but regardless whatever happens,
• 13:21
  Speaker 1: we'll always have Criminazing matchally one matchally two city six.
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: All I want to say is no party, no party.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: So yeah, yeah, just just for his addics, just for
• 13:33
  Speaker 2: his like his snarkiness, and I feel like he still
• 13:36
  Speaker 2: got Like it's it's like, what was it. So we're
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: talking about I'll be all signing this week. Yeah for
• 13:42
  Speaker 2: Pizso we have for pizza, we have party. Earlier in
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: the year we got Madge to mild Uh, there was
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: a fourth player that came back to the city. YEAHA
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: Like it's oh my god, I forgot about that.
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: Holy shit, thirty nine years old as well.
• 14:01
  Speaker 2: My god, Like it's just so crazy seeing like these
• 14:04
  Speaker 2: guys like that, you know, like we're like big names
• 14:09
  Speaker 2: and now there there's still big names. But it's just
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: so crazy how like they're all like all coming to
• 14:13
  Speaker 2: the towards the end city of for the end of
• 14:14
  Speaker 2: their career, which is which is nice to see. I
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: saw somebody make a post trying to call it as
• 14:18
  Speaker 2: if like all like Ceitia is the retirement league, and
• 14:20
  Speaker 2: it's like, it's not a retirement league. It's it's a
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: league that you know, people players do want to play
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: outside of the prem you know, it just goes to
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: like the most well respected league outside of the prem
• 14:30
  Speaker 2: probably is Setia. Like it does sound biased to say
• 14:34
  Speaker 2: I'm pretty sure when you get flamed for it, but
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: I'm not saying it's the only one. Obviously, La Liga
• 14:37
  Speaker 2: is still is still very influential to play in, and
• 14:40
  Speaker 2: it's still very prestigious as well as you know league
• 14:43
  Speaker 2: earned went on a Budesliga for sure, all the European
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: but like, but Setia historically is one of those like
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: leagues that you do definitely want to play in at
• 14:50
  Speaker 2: some point in your career. So it's just so funny
• 14:53
  Speaker 2: to see, like this image looks like like that's showing
• 14:57
  Speaker 2: up prisper context for anybody who's actually just listening and
• 14:59
  Speaker 2: not watching replay. It's an image of Barty in the
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: Kreminez jersey next next to next to a violin, right
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: and and like like this looks like something you get
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: out of his sim and fucking feed a manager mode.
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: Like it's so it's so ridiculous, but it's crazy.
• 15:13
  Speaker 3: And I found the transfer just honestly came out of
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: the blue, right yeah, guys, Like I mean I don't
• 15:17
  Speaker 3: know like if who was who had their you know,
• 15:20
  Speaker 3: reports on it or what first, but it was like
• 15:23
  Speaker 3: for me, just out of the bloom. That is is
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: more of the shock factor of it, Like you know,
• 15:28
  Speaker 3: Varty kind of I think he was he left Leicester
• 15:31
  Speaker 3: and like he was kind of maybe searching for another club,
• 15:32
  Speaker 3: and you know this this this rumblings of maybe coming
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: to Italy and then okay, coming to Oh that's fine, Okay,
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: who's he gonna sign for? And then you look and
• 15:41
  Speaker 3: it's like Cremones. It's like not the team that you
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: would have expected it to be. Right, So listen, uh,
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: you know, like Nick said, if if they need a miracle,
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: they they found the right player to do so. Because
• 15:54
  Speaker 3: obviously that Wester run you know what was it five
• 15:56
  Speaker 3: thousand to one odds right at the beginning of the
• 15:58
  Speaker 3: season two to win the round.
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I'm like, I want to put five dollars
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: because of this.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: Just for just just for just for all timesake. You know,
• 16:09
  Speaker 3: it's like it's one of those moments that you know
• 16:11
  Speaker 3: we'll never forget. But listen, man, Like you know, I mean,
• 16:16
  Speaker 3: I was obviously pissed last week for for the lost
• 16:18
  Speaker 3: for me on but you know, they they've earned these two,
• 16:21
  Speaker 3: these two wins, two back to back wins, two impressive performances.
• 16:26
  Speaker 3: The game this past week against US well was was
• 16:28
  Speaker 3: just you know, a crazy match three to the penalty
• 16:32
  Speaker 3: at the end by the Luca uh to to win
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: the game, right. Uh you know, so it was just
• 16:38
  Speaker 3: you know, I think, you know, again, like we said
• 16:42
  Speaker 3: with Roma to start the show, Uh, you know, uh,
• 16:46
  Speaker 3: let's let's you know, manager expectations. Let's you know, it's
• 16:48
  Speaker 3: only two weeks, two match Chayes in. Let's let's kind
• 16:51
  Speaker 3: of temper our thoughts. But you might have to do
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: the same for for for Tremilias. But the fact that
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: they started two and zero two from two with David Nicola,
• 17:02
  Speaker 3: I mean, I think I had them at last place
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: right in our in our preview show to kick off
• 17:08
  Speaker 3: the season, I think I had them automatically going down.
• 17:10
  Speaker 3: This kind of puts a bit of a bad taste
• 17:12
  Speaker 3: in our in our mouths early on. But uh, you know,
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: if they can survive, it's gonna take these types of performances,
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: and it's not something that I personally would have predicted.
• 17:24
  Speaker 3: Like like we said preview show, I think I had
• 17:27
  Speaker 3: them dead last and go going straight back down to
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: City B. But if it's gonna take you know, these
• 17:33
  Speaker 3: types of wins, you know, a signing of Jimmy Vardy
• 17:36
  Speaker 3: like out of the blue and they survive. I mean,
• 17:39
  Speaker 3: you know, shople to them. So we'll see again with
• 17:42
  Speaker 3: the season is long, thirty six more match days and
• 17:45
  Speaker 3: we'll kind of see what happens. But I'm excited to
• 17:48
  Speaker 3: see uh Vardy on the on the pitch, like I
• 17:51
  Speaker 3: just just it's just gonna be like an interesting scene.
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: The fans seem to already go bananas when he when
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: he arrived at the airport, right, Uh you know, I saw,
• 18:02
  Speaker 3: I saw the video. I think the Marso posted it.
• 18:04
  Speaker 3: There was a fan he already had a tattoo of him.
• 18:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know if he was a Lester fan or what.
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: He had a tattoo of Varty's face on his leg
• 18:11
  Speaker 3: or on his arm. He made Varty sign it and
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: that's probably the you know, tattooed onto his body too.
• 18:17
  Speaker 3: So it's it's Barty mania obviously in at kremon Is
• 18:21
  Speaker 3: and like Johnny said, the no Vardy no party, So
• 18:23
  Speaker 3: we're here.
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: For it right right, Yes, one of the lesser city
• 18:29
  Speaker 1: Leicester City. Sorry, great great book by the way. Yeah
• 18:34
  Speaker 1: that was that was crazy. Like I said, ten years ago,
• 18:36
  Speaker 1: the fifteen sixteen season the only Premier League season I've
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: really been into I watched a lot of their games,
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: especially once, Uh you know they had more of a
• 18:45
  Speaker 1: title shot or they're competitive. Leicester City led by Claudio
• 18:49
  Speaker 1: or and YERI just one of those stories we'll never
• 18:51
  Speaker 1: see again in sports. And well, imagine telling someone ten
• 18:55
  Speaker 1: years ago in August twenty fifteen that Jamie Vardy to
• 19:00
  Speaker 1: win a Premier League championship with Lester and then and
• 19:03
  Speaker 1: then he would finish off his career playing with Mussolini.
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: You could even script that if you want to. Not
• 19:13
  Speaker 3: even the script writers could have scripted that, right, So that's.
• 19:16
  Speaker 6: Crazy, crazy, Yeah, Criminazic, they do have some interesting players
• 19:22
  Speaker 6: obviously Bason and sole executive Ptelia Mila Darrow's is on
• 19:27
  Speaker 6: loan as well, ok Sinabria.
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: So I don't know what they're they're putting together some
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: you know, a team of players that they have a good.
• 19:39
  Speaker 3: Rejected Definitely they have a salvation salvation experts, right Wola exactly.
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: If there's one thing that's on their side, But beyond
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: these these players that probably can do something is is
• 19:52
  Speaker 3: definitely him.
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: So we're talking about random transfer in city. Uh, now
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: that the markets closed, guys, what has to be the weirdest,
• 20:00
  Speaker 1: most shocking transfer this summer, because for me, it has
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: to be all be all. I saw the picture the
• 20:05
  Speaker 1: other day him drinking an espresso in Pisa. I thought,
• 20:10
  Speaker 1: I honestly thought he was their new coach or a
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: new assistant culture or something. I did not realize this
• 20:16
  Speaker 1: guy was still playing. It's been six years since he
• 20:18
  Speaker 1: played for Napoli coming back to City. But at the
• 20:21
  Speaker 1: end of the year, you know we're just talking. City
• 20:24
  Speaker 1: has a respected league, this and that. Who wouldn't want
• 20:27
  Speaker 1: to live in Italy, but.
• 20:30
  Speaker 2: You know, the the.
• 20:32
  Speaker 1: End of their careers, making good money, playing a sport,
• 20:38
  Speaker 1: plaking a kid's game and getting paid for it. So,
• 20:40
  Speaker 1: you know what, I'll be old. I don't blame him.
• 20:42
  Speaker 1: He lived in Napoli, he lived in Villarreal. Now he's
• 20:44
  Speaker 1: living in Pisa. You know what, he lived in Madrid.
• 20:47
  Speaker 1: You know what, guy's living in a good life. So
• 20:49
  Speaker 1: for me, that has to be the random transfer.
• 20:53
  Speaker 3: How about you, guys, Johnny Off, you have one in mind,
• 20:57
  Speaker 3: But the one that kind of just came up to
• 20:59
  Speaker 3: me in my mind now is is another one that
• 21:03
  Speaker 3: I'm surprised he hasn't followed. Mario Mourinho got the cans
• 21:06
  Speaker 3: so and there's nowhere to follow him to. But Naemania
• 21:09
  Speaker 3: mattage to for me was another weird one I found,
• 21:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know, kind of out of the boo as well. Uh,
• 21:16
  Speaker 3: you know has has kind of been around, right, He's
• 21:20
  Speaker 3: been all over the place. There you go, there's there's
• 21:23
  Speaker 3: all be all for all the for all the audio listeners.
• 21:25
  Speaker 3: I'll be full with a espress there right, and then
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: the music kids. But hey, you know he knows the league, right,
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: So it's I think that's an interesting one, and you
• 21:35
  Speaker 3: know they're just trying to get anything they can to
• 21:37
  Speaker 3: try to maybe survive. But for me, on pneumonia Mattics
• 21:39
  Speaker 3: uh for one again another one that kind of came
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: out of the blue. You know, experienced player I think,
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: still of quality in his later thirties as well. Uh
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: has played in Sidia as well, right Uh with with Roman?
• 21:56
  Speaker 3: Was he he was on Roma? It wasn't yeah, so
• 22:00
  Speaker 3: but yeah, just again for me, it was just these transfers,
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: they're they're just a shock factor of them, not only
• 22:05
  Speaker 3: them being like random, but just more out of the blue.
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: Like obviously the Homer recency pick is is the Vardy one,
• 22:11
  Speaker 3: but you know the Mania match, you know Ra Albiol,
• 22:14
  Speaker 3: like Nick said, it's a it's two experienced guys that
• 22:18
  Speaker 3: you know come to come to Saria and I think,
• 22:22
  Speaker 3: you know, at this later stages of their career and
• 22:24
  Speaker 3: to bounce off to what Johnny said earlier about you know,
• 22:27
  Speaker 3: Australia as a retirement league, it's like, I you know,
• 22:30
  Speaker 3: I disagree, not only because we love the league, it's
• 22:33
  Speaker 3: just I think some of these types of players, it's
• 22:36
  Speaker 3: it's a league where they can still afford to to
• 22:39
  Speaker 3: be able to play at a high level because the
• 22:43
  Speaker 3: way that the league is set up it suits their
• 22:44
  Speaker 3: type of game. Like a guy like Lukamaldas comes in
• 22:47
  Speaker 3: and you know he might be, you know, not the
• 22:49
  Speaker 3: fastest player, and he might not be uh you know
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: up to uh maybe La Liga's speed in terms of
• 22:54
  Speaker 3: the pace. I think he can still play in La Liga.
• 22:56
  Speaker 3: Don't get me wrong, but uh, you know, you fit
• 22:58
  Speaker 3: them in Italy and it's like just he's able to dictate,
• 23:02
  Speaker 3: you know. So I think the Manu Mattage is another
• 23:05
  Speaker 3: one who can maybe do that if if Albiol stays healthy,
• 23:08
  Speaker 3: I think he can probably do that. For for piez
• 23:10
  Speaker 3: at In their defense as well, So I'm gonna go
• 23:13
  Speaker 3: with matic point under Fabio Grosso. For me, it was
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: a bit crazy. Uh.
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: For me, I'm actually gonna go what we lost neck,
• 23:21
  Speaker 2: but you'll come back in a bit. For me, it
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: would have to be Nicolo. I think, I think, I
• 23:29
  Speaker 2: think Zano was quite a surprise, a pleasant one actually
• 23:33
  Speaker 2: for me, because I like, I like I I enjoy Zaniolo,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: so it's nice to see him back in Sea, curious
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: to see how he's gonna be after his time abroad
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: in Turkey. It's because if you think about it, right,
• 23:45
  Speaker 2: like el Chawati kind of had the same projection in
• 23:48
  Speaker 2: the sense where you know, young superstar played good injuries
• 23:50
  Speaker 2: at the start, you know, had to leave leave town
• 23:53
  Speaker 2: for a bit, just you know, just to leave town
• 23:56
  Speaker 2: in the sense of like I need to recover my
• 23:57
  Speaker 2: for different reasons. But I feel like as if Zanie
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: could be something neat, I think it can have some
• 24:06
  Speaker 2: pleasant surprises for it. Definitely, uh, I don't want to
• 24:09
  Speaker 2: say sleeper pick, but definitely like uh, he's got healthy yeah,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: but definitely like some there's there's definitely something interesting's gonna
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: happen with this. I can't wait to see what it
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: is though, But yeah, he would have to be my
• 24:24
  Speaker 2: pick for the for biggest surprise and uh and and
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: it just just transferred it because I never expect him
• 24:30
  Speaker 2: to come back.
• 24:31
  Speaker 3: And it was not the deadline too, right, it was
• 24:32
  Speaker 3: on it was on deadline, so it was even more
• 24:34
  Speaker 3: And it was funny. I just saw socials, you know,
• 24:37
  Speaker 3: they signed Zanoli and they signed zan and they posted
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: like a zed for because I think it was Zanoli
• 24:45
  Speaker 3: who got announced first, so they posted this like zoro
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: type z on the like on their socials and then
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: I think when they when they announced they did, they
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: kept the same image and they put like to the
• 24:56
  Speaker 3: power of two, so like squared right with the little
• 24:59
  Speaker 3: with a little to the up. I found it pretty funny. Again,
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: total shock factor two there for for me for those
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: two players, but especially Daniel I think came out of
• 25:07
  Speaker 3: the blue. So we'll see what he doesn't know because
• 25:10
  Speaker 3: they got a shock win. Actually no, no, no, I
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: deserved one against the Interrow over the weekend. I think
• 25:15
  Speaker 3: it was shocking in terms of maybe the result, but
• 25:18
  Speaker 3: you know, they definitely deserved it. And uh, let's see
• 25:21
  Speaker 3: if they can add to uh to this design.
• 25:25
  Speaker 1: Uh guys, we might as well stay on the topic
• 25:27
  Speaker 1: of transfers because all of our teams made some deadline moves. Yeah,
• 25:33
  Speaker 1: Melan reuniting with Rebbio Monopoly bringing in Hoyland. I don't
• 25:39
  Speaker 1: know if that means something about Loue Cockwin is injury,
• 25:41
  Speaker 1: how long he's going to be out? You've a last
• 25:43
  Speaker 1: second moves getting rid of then Gonzalez bringing.
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: Drove.
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: I can't pronounce it.
• 25:54
  Speaker 3: There there you go.
• 25:56
  Speaker 1: I can't pronounce the guy's name. And obviously Lupenda all
• 26:02
  Speaker 1: you know, I might as well start because the all
• 26:04
  Speaker 1: pending one is that obviously interesting. All summer they were
• 26:08
  Speaker 1: pushing to bring back Colon. Colami basically has a third
• 26:11
  Speaker 1: striker it. You know, it was remained to be seen, right,
• 26:15
  Speaker 1: what was gonna happen with Valvich? Obviously they couldn't get
• 26:17
  Speaker 1: anything done, so that impacted their business, right. It is
• 26:23
  Speaker 1: interesting that they did bring in David and they kept
• 26:25
  Speaker 1: Valvich and out. They're both there together. But we kind
• 26:27
  Speaker 1: of saw that how that benefit you've on It was
• 26:30
  Speaker 1: on Sunday and against Gena, David didn't have a good game.
• 26:33
  Speaker 1: Volvich comes in and scores and maybe Evalvich maybe this
• 26:37
  Speaker 1: was the fire that needed to be lit for him
• 26:39
  Speaker 1: to to to start performing. Right, having that other striker
• 26:42
  Speaker 1: who's gonna really challenge him for the starting role. But
• 26:46
  Speaker 1: bringing Appendez I think a smart move as a depth move.
• 26:49
  Speaker 1: He's a he's a good player too, you know him
• 26:53
  Speaker 1: versus Kalamani. I don't know who's better. I did like
• 26:57
  Speaker 1: Kaulamoni last year, right, he scored some big time goals,
• 27:01
  Speaker 1: but it just felt like it was probably something that
• 27:03
  Speaker 1: wasn't sustainable. So we'll see what what Lopenda does. Opendo opendo,
• 27:11
  Speaker 1: OpenD the Louis Openda. Sorry, yeah, Grov door open, opened
• 27:16
  Speaker 1: the door, open the door. The grove now, because I
• 27:20
  Speaker 1: saw the video on socials where he was pronounced he
• 27:22
  Speaker 1: saying jeg grove. There I got Zeed Grov.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: You know, I know nothing about He's from Kosovo. We're
• 27:28
  Speaker 3: from Canada, so that's what we pronounce it. The grova.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 27:34
  Speaker 1: I know nothing about the guy besides the fact that
• 27:36
  Speaker 1: he did play with Jonathan David at lil as well,
• 27:39
  Speaker 1: so they are being reunited. He's coming to replace Gonzales.
• 27:42
  Speaker 1: We'll see what he does. It feels like ever since
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: he got injured. What was it back in twenty twenty two,
• 27:48
  Speaker 1: Juli's winger situation has been kind of dicey. They really
• 27:53
  Speaker 1: haven't had a solid starting winger. Yes, I know, doubt
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: they have conse Saw. It feels like finally this version
• 27:59
  Speaker 1: of Kansei was slowly replacing that version of Kiza from
• 28:03
  Speaker 1: almost four years ago. And Jagova is there too, you know,
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: as a death piece. It It sucks about Gonzales because
• 28:11
  Speaker 1: there were so many players that they got last summer
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: that are already on their way out. They're already left.
• 28:16
  Speaker 1: But it makes sense because those were tag Wata's moves
• 28:20
  Speaker 1: and now these are Ego Tuno's moves, and Tudor knows
• 28:23
  Speaker 1: the knows the French league as well, so it makes
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: sense why they got David, why they get your Gova.
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: So look, I don't think any of these moves like
• 28:33
  Speaker 1: push the needle make you a real school challenger.
• 28:38
  Speaker 3: They make them better though, I think, yeah, I think
• 28:40
  Speaker 3: they make them better for me.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: The biggest addition to the UK team isn't even a transfer.
• 28:48
  Speaker 1: It's Bramber coming back from injury. We already saw it
• 28:51
  Speaker 1: in two games how massive he's been it We saw
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: last season having him out, how that really impacted the
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: team negatively, right, So him coming back is is bigger
• 29:02
  Speaker 1: than any of.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: These transfers, you know, even even.
• 29:06
  Speaker 1: Maybe David's transfer as well. So, uh, for me, that's
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: the biggest addition to this UA team for the start
• 29:13
  Speaker 1: of this season's roster versus the end of last season's roster.
• 29:17
  Speaker 3: That's fine enough.
• 29:18
  Speaker 2: I read some are crazy that something crazy that, like.
• 29:22
  Speaker 7: Youve wither in their last eight games have like like
• 29:26
  Speaker 7: it's something something ridiculously high like that, and uh, you know,
• 29:33
  Speaker 7: like it shows as he's as you said, I'm just
• 29:36
  Speaker 7: happy about the whole blabbitch situation because like it's good
• 29:40
  Speaker 7: from my Panta Couch team.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: I want to say. I'm like, he's given compliment to you.
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: Has to be because he has them on Panta.
• 29:49
  Speaker 2: Of course you know me so well, it's uh, it's
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: something I'm definitely happy about because, you know, cool, I get.
• 29:54
  Speaker 2: I get to keep a really good player.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: It's two and two and two a right, it's two
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: goals and two games, two.
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: Goals in two games. And I only got him for
• 30:00
  Speaker 2: three coins, three coins out of three hundred, because there
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: was like, oh he's leaving, he's leaving it. I got
• 30:06
  Speaker 2: him for three coins. I got Lookman for five, so
• 30:08
  Speaker 2: I'm just praying that inter gets Lookman, so I can
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: actually get like value out of Lookman. But hey, five points.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: If I lose five points out of three hundred, a
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: big deal. I have Leal to pick up the pace
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: for me right right when.
• 30:20
  Speaker 3: He comes back after the break. So well we'll see.
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: But but yeah, but even just to bounce off the
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Bremer point because I want to add it shows like
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: when you have a leader in the back, right, like
• 30:32
  Speaker 3: there was nobody, Like he commands so much in the
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: back I think, and just looking from the outside end
• 30:36
  Speaker 3: like he's just his presence, like they didn't have a
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: true leader in the back in my opinion, like got yeah,
• 30:42
  Speaker 3: I don't think was really doing that, Like yeah he
• 30:44
  Speaker 3: had the captain's arm band yeah, like he get like
• 30:46
  Speaker 3: he's like that, you know, work hard, put your nose
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: down and work hard type of defender. But for me,
• 30:53
  Speaker 3: it wasn't like a true leader in terms of in
• 30:56
  Speaker 3: terms of really commanding the back line really you know,
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: making the side sacrifices that like it was the last
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: game or this game that he already had the Killeni
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: bandage on his head, right like it's it's you know,
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: it's it's those things that you know, you see and
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: as a teammate you look and like, wow, listen, if
• 31:11
  Speaker 3: he's doing it, I got step up my game and
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: I got to be at that level too. So I
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: think just him commanding the defense like the way he does,
• 31:20
  Speaker 3: and obviously his his presence and his skills you know,
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: speak for themselves. You know, he's he's been what rated
• 31:26
  Speaker 3: top defenders in in Sadiya before made the move from
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: Torino oneid Torino to the other right to go to
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: Juve and it's, like Nick said, like it shows when
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: he's there, and it shows when he's not. When he's not,
• 31:39
  Speaker 3: they're really suffering when he's there, you know there you know,
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: it's it's two clean sheets and the Gregorio doesn't have
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: to do all that much work. So yeah, I just
• 31:49
  Speaker 3: wanted to add that in there because kind of similar
• 31:52
  Speaker 3: to when we saw like Tilani for like the national
• 31:55
  Speaker 3: team when he wasn't there for when he was you know,
• 31:57
  Speaker 3: the Bonucci's of the world and these other players that
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: we're back there wasn't really cutting it on their own.
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: But you see a guy like you that that steps
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: in and you know, the commanding of the defense, and
• 32:08
  Speaker 3: uh it really it really helps and goes a long
• 32:10
  Speaker 3: way in my opinion. Don't forget.
• 32:13
  Speaker 2: I also used to have him as like my m
• 32:14
  Speaker 2: VP defender way before.
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that was that season. I think when was it
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: that he's been at two seasons now or was it.
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: It's been about two to three years. It's I think
• 32:24
  Speaker 2: it's his third season officially this year, this is his
• 32:26
  Speaker 2: third start of his third Yeah, but like prior to that, I.
• 32:29
  Speaker 3: Think you predicted it that. I think you predicted it.
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: One Top defender was that twenty twenty one.
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: It was a while back. I remember because I was
• 32:38
  Speaker 2: at my stepdad's house and you're and you're like, well
• 32:41
  Speaker 2: you guys, like really out of all people, and I'm like, yeah,
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: you had a good it was a phenomenal season.
• 32:47
  Speaker 3: That's all. Just what I think that And you know what,
• 32:49
  Speaker 3: to take it off because he won Top Defender.
• 32:51
  Speaker 4: So it's his fourth season.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be his fourth season with you.
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: It's his four season, Okay already, Yeah, there you go,
• 32:59
  Speaker 3: time Flice, because you know, well, wash year was a
• 33:03
  Speaker 3: bourt because he was injured the basically the whole year, right,
• 33:05
  Speaker 3: yea mistaken ely, so you cut that out. It's really
• 33:09
  Speaker 3: his third year, if you really want to call it
• 33:12
  Speaker 3: like that. But that's it's crazy. He's already been on
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: the team four years.
• 33:17
  Speaker 1: Roma, Nappoly Melan, who wants to go next?
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: I'll slip in just because I know Johnny has two
• 33:23
  Speaker 3: teams to cover, and I mean we kind of spoke
• 33:25
  Speaker 3: a bit about about the Romo ones, and I think
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: I think NAPAs market has been more players and just
• 33:33
  Speaker 3: a lot more additions and quality and stuff like that.
• 33:36
  Speaker 3: So I'll slip in with Melan. Uh well, deadline day,
• 33:39
  Speaker 3: you know, Melan DIDs, you know, slipped in a couple
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: of moves. I think ultimately, I still don't rate this,
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: this this overall market very high. I don't know if
• 33:50
  Speaker 3: we want to give like a grade at for our
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: teams that after all the after all our recaps. But
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: you know, deadline day, you know, picking up I like
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: this boy Rabio, right, you know what's that what's that
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: line there? I find you somebody that loves you the
• 34:06
  Speaker 3: same way, the same way I like he loves the
• 34:09
  Speaker 3: Rabo right, So uh it's it's I couldn't I was
• 34:13
  Speaker 3: a bit surprised that they got over the line because
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: we know how his his mother likes to haig right
• 34:18
  Speaker 3: with the money right being his agent, and all the
• 34:20
  Speaker 3: the financials have looked a bit tricky. But listen, they
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: added him uh permanently and uh it's It's a move
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: that I'm not a fan of because I hate getting
• 34:30
  Speaker 3: these like fucking Juve rejects over at Milan. But you know,
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: if it's going to be a player that our coach
• 34:38
  Speaker 3: currently knows well and trusts and is able to perform highway,
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: and we've seen Rabio how good moments are Juve under age,
• 34:47
  Speaker 3: I'll take it. It adds to all the fury of
• 34:51
  Speaker 3: the of of midfielders that we did get over this
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: this summer Mercato. It's unfortunate that Hi goes down with
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: an injury already in training. He'll be out for a
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: little bit, so I don't know if this is kind
• 35:04
  Speaker 3: of a replacement uh for for his position currently. We'll
• 35:11
  Speaker 3: we'll have to wait and see, but I you know,
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: I'm pretty sure you can bet that you'll we'll see
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: uh wo and some of these starting lineups going forward
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: like it or not, So Uh he gets added. We've
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: been after a striker and another defender, another quality defender
• 35:26
  Speaker 3: for for a while in this market. So one thing
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: I kind of think Meal and fans have been a
• 35:31
  Speaker 3: little frustrated with They really left these important pieces and
• 35:35
  Speaker 3: these apportant additions, uh for the for the end of
• 35:38
  Speaker 3: the market, kind of last minute trying to pull deals
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: together and western you you it's it's two gambles in
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: my opinion. Uh one, I think a bit more obviously,
• 35:48
  Speaker 3: more experience and and and just more of a quality player.
• 35:52
  Speaker 3: And in in cun Ku from from Chelsea, the forward
• 35:56
  Speaker 3: we need a striker, a true number nine. They bring
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: it in Cunku, who's not really that player, but he
• 36:01
  Speaker 3: can kind of play all over in the forward line.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: So we'll see where he gets slotted in. Again, A
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: quality player when he's when he's on, I think he has.
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: He has good moments and good qualities as a forward.
• 36:16
  Speaker 3: He needs to be able to stay on the pitch.
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: I think he I've heard he's a bit injury prone.
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: I hope that doesn't follow him to Milano and he
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: can kind of rush that off. But if he stays
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: on the pitch and he and he meshes well and
• 36:28
  Speaker 3: uh you know, he gets going, I think he can
• 36:30
  Speaker 3: be another addition to our attack that is desperately need
• 36:33
  Speaker 3: of help. The one thing I'm not a big fan
• 36:36
  Speaker 3: of is if is if I like he continues with
• 36:40
  Speaker 3: this this three five to two or three four two one.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: Maybe the three four two one, maybe a bit bit more,
• 36:45
  Speaker 3: But this three five to two, I'm not one hundred
• 36:49
  Speaker 3: percent sold on, especially after seeing the first two matches.
• 36:52
  Speaker 3: It's not it's I'm not a big fan of it.
• 36:55
  Speaker 3: It's our defense is already terrible, and you know, uh,
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: I don't think with the players that we have and
• 37:03
  Speaker 3: the lack of players to bring on in case, you know,
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: knock on wood that you know one of our defenders
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: get hurt, who woul bring off on the bench. It's
• 37:10
  Speaker 3: you know, you have all your three defenders already on
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: the pitch. So they bring in the young kid Odogu
• 37:16
  Speaker 3: from Wolfsburg. I believe the young Germans center back again,
• 37:20
  Speaker 3: not a player that I can't say I really know
• 37:22
  Speaker 3: too much about. I've heard that he doesn't really have
• 37:24
  Speaker 3: very many minutes under his belt at the professional level.
• 37:29
  Speaker 3: So it's a real gamble for me. It's like a
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: carving copy of what they did with Malik Chaw. Buy
• 37:34
  Speaker 3: him for cheap. Hopefully he progresses and develops at Milan
• 37:39
  Speaker 3: and then maybe sell him off, you know for thirty eight,
• 37:41
  Speaker 3: you know, twenty five, thirty million, maybe even forty million
• 37:45
  Speaker 3: in a couple of years. Time he's young, he's nineteen.
• 37:47
  Speaker 3: He seems eager to be there and to kick you know,
• 37:51
  Speaker 3: to kick off his season on Milan. So what's so
• 37:54
  Speaker 3: how much point time he gets? You know, we still
• 37:56
  Speaker 3: haven't seen Cony the winter on the pitch yet. We
• 37:59
  Speaker 3: haven't see at the Kami as well the the young
• 38:02
  Speaker 3: right back. So I'm curious to see what Allegury does. Again,
• 38:08
  Speaker 3: I don't see this three five two working. There's too
• 38:12
  Speaker 3: many guys that you need to try to fit into
• 38:14
  Speaker 3: this lineup. And I still like, I'm already seeing guys
• 38:17
  Speaker 3: like out of position, and I know that's Alleguri is
• 38:20
  Speaker 3: m sometimes, you know, playing guys out of positions. But
• 38:23
  Speaker 3: if you want to be able to score goals, and
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: this is a thing that we need offensively to score
• 38:28
  Speaker 3: goals to win games, playing uh polisitch and I spoke
• 38:32
  Speaker 3: last week about it and with Nick and you know
• 38:34
  Speaker 3: playing poolsitch and when if and when well not if,
• 38:37
  Speaker 3: but when Raphael comes back playing them two up top
• 38:41
  Speaker 3: in that three five two as the two fourds, whether
• 38:43
  Speaker 3: they're not out and out strikers kind of worries me.
• 38:46
  Speaker 3: So I would like to make if you want to
• 38:49
  Speaker 3: play three to the back, I would play maybe the
• 38:50
  Speaker 3: three four two one, uh, you know, kind of play
• 38:54
  Speaker 3: Layao and and uh and puls or in kum Ku
• 38:58
  Speaker 3: behind Santi mens just so he has somebody or two
• 39:03
  Speaker 3: players to kind of bounce off of and and go
• 39:05
  Speaker 3: forward in the attack. But mostly overall, I think that
• 39:10
  Speaker 3: for me, the Mercato has been you know, it started
• 39:14
  Speaker 3: off decent in terms of you know, they're getting deals
• 39:17
  Speaker 3: done and you know, seem to be like rowing. We
• 39:19
  Speaker 3: have Toddy, you know he's actually working. And don't get
• 39:21
  Speaker 3: me wrong, he did a lot of work in this Marcato.
• 39:22
  Speaker 3: He brought in uh what is it, uh ten odd players.
• 39:26
  Speaker 3: I think it's it's been for meln you ever take
• 39:28
  Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken, and you know they did a
• 39:32
  Speaker 3: lot of work. But let's see how many of these
• 39:34
  Speaker 3: these you know, these these uh, these pickups are actual
• 39:39
  Speaker 3: hits right instead of missing. So I'm curious to see
• 39:42
  Speaker 3: how that transpires after the international break. For me, the
• 39:47
  Speaker 3: grade if I would have to give a grade. And
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: I don't know if you guys want to give a
• 39:50
  Speaker 3: grade after for for your teams, but i've I saw
• 39:54
  Speaker 3: Gazetta give us seven. I think it was for me.
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: It's closer to you know, five and a half to
• 39:58
  Speaker 3: six h for for miland for me because yes, we
• 40:02
  Speaker 3: added you know, a legend of the game modric and uh,
• 40:06
  Speaker 3: you know RICHI that I like, I need to see
• 40:07
  Speaker 3: him on the pitch, so he needs to get minutes.
• 40:09
  Speaker 3: I want to see him in the national team. I
• 40:11
  Speaker 3: want to see him play for me one so needs
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: to get onto the pitch. Still still up in the air.
• 40:17
  Speaker 3: For at Oupon, I'm still up in the air, you know.
• 40:19
  Speaker 3: For for yes, shot you we haven't seen too much
• 40:21
  Speaker 3: about him. Now he gets injured. We'll see when he
• 40:23
  Speaker 3: comes back, you know the winter. Like I said at
• 40:26
  Speaker 3: the Common, we haven't seen yet these new additions. We'll
• 40:29
  Speaker 3: see how the integrate. So you know, I'm just uh,
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: just just curious to see how things pan out. But
• 40:36
  Speaker 3: if I had to give a grade, like I said,
• 40:38
  Speaker 3: I would stick around five and a half to to
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: six uh for for me on summer Melcanto so far, yo, Johnny,
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: I know uh, what we want to say for Always Fornop.
• 40:49
  Speaker 2: No, I just I find it rather interesting that you
• 40:51
  Speaker 2: have that low of a mark for them. I feel
• 40:54
  Speaker 2: like a z if there's a lot of potential here
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: for them to have like either like like it's a
• 40:59
  Speaker 2: lot either like a bunch of magic beans and not
• 41:01
  Speaker 2: in a negative sense, but like either aides are gonna
• 41:04
  Speaker 2: be like phenomenal moves that just help them out so much.
• 41:07
  Speaker 2: And people were like, wow, those were good sneaky pickups
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: or be like you said, you know, it's like a
• 41:11
  Speaker 2: it's not it's not convincing, it's it just didn't then
• 41:15
  Speaker 2: it's not working out for me type of thing. Yeah,
• 41:17
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm curious to see where it goes.
• 41:20
  Speaker 3: I I think it just also worries me because of
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: the not only for the additions that you added, but
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: the the departures that you let go as well, right
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: like yes, yeah, you got money for them, and but
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: a lot of those players were like starting players, and
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: it's like you know, or even like death pieces to
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: just help, like does does sending Musa? I mean, I
• 41:40
  Speaker 3: know a lot of fans dislike Musa for in the
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: always in Harmon coat, He's been kind of a real
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: a real uh player that people have not really enjoyed
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: too much. But does it really do you any service
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: for wedding a guy like Musa and you know, go
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: on loan with options to and where you can really
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: have them, you know, on your on your roster like Santi,
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: like Santi Menez goes down knock on what he doesn't.
• 42:08
  Speaker 3: But we don't actually have another striker, like a true
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: number nine. So it's worrisome for me. Like that's why
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: I have them on like low like as well. Like
• 42:17
  Speaker 3: the additions I don't think are bad, but how many
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: of them, similar to what Nick said, like how many
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: of them like truly pushed the needle like I think Madric. Yes,
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: I want to say somewhere that Ricci too, but we
• 42:33
  Speaker 3: haven't seen enough of him yet. He hasn't really been
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: on the on the field too much. A legacy thinks
• 42:38
  Speaker 3: that you know him and you know him and made
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: are the same position, and you know he's gonna start
• 42:44
  Speaker 3: modgit O ver Ricci, which I understand. But I THINKI
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: can kind of play all over in the midfield in
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: my opinion, so he's not just a regista. I think
• 42:50
  Speaker 3: he can play Mezzala. I think he can. He can,
• 42:52
  Speaker 3: you can kind of go all over so we'll see.
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: I mean, you lose your your your top goal scorer
• 43:00
  Speaker 3: year and Randers you're you know, the MVP of the
• 43:03
  Speaker 3: best midfielder in the league and you know, one of
• 43:05
  Speaker 3: the better left backs that we've seen in the league
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: in quite some time. And I know he had a
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: down ye last year. But Tailor Nan, this goes to
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: to Saudi and you know, you kind of let go
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: of all your forwards and you let Kamara to go
• 43:16
  Speaker 3: on loan like this was this was a perfect time
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: for Kamara to stay on Melan and you know you're
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: gonna lose all these attacking options, but you can have
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: integrated you know, a guy like Kamar the in this
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: lineup and you know, getting him some quality minutes and
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: I know we went to Letch and he's gonna get
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: that those city on minutes for sure, and you know,
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: cope tally and whatnot. But why not under Melon's umbrella,
• 43:39
  Speaker 3: especially in the season that currently you know you're gonna
• 43:42
  Speaker 3: maybe play two forwards and you don't you only have
• 43:44
  Speaker 3: one real striker in my opinion, So again I'm gonna
• 43:48
  Speaker 3: stick with the five and a half to six range.
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: Hopefully they can prove me wrong and I can maybe
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: you know, we can revisit this, you know, maybe midway
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: through the season or at the end of the season
• 43:56
  Speaker 3: and say, like you said, Johnny, maybe all these are
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: sneaky pickups and it's it's a lot of hits rather
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: than misses. But we've gotten burned with bringing in so
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: many players in one market at once in uh in
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: the past, you know, the the Cello Nogu, Frank Kessie years.
• 44:12
  Speaker 3: We brought in ted ten to eleven guys and I
• 44:14
  Speaker 3: think only Kessi was the real hit that have of
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: all those misses. So I think me and fans don't
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: want to get burned again, and we want to fight
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: for the Scudetto. We want to fight not only just
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: to be in top four, but we want to continue
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: to push and again we'll see if it really moves
• 44:28
  Speaker 3: the needle. But for me, it's a it's a waiting game.
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: But I'll stick for him to the five and a
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: half to six until proven wrong.
• 44:37
  Speaker 2: I mean, like just to touch upon me Lan a bit,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: because they did have an interesting market, as we were
• 44:42
  Speaker 2: talking about before. I think, honestly that Rabio one was
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: just such a typical agency move. It's just just so
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: I think he.
• 44:48
  Speaker 3: Could do well on the alleged right.
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know. It's just it's obviously he has done
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: what many times, and it's just there's times where he
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: was their best was you's best player and their leg
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: But I feel like a lot of these decisions are
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: basically it. It is it's first full.
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: Season when Milan he just came.
• 45:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so like this this, this is basically him trying
• 45:07
  Speaker 2: to put his own Like I guess Flair touched the team,
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: like he believes that the team should go in one direction,
• 45:12
  Speaker 2: and this is and like those are some of the
• 45:15
  Speaker 2: probably like, for lack of a better term, uh my god,
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: I can't think of.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Oh my god, not.
• 45:24
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, collateral that's a collateral collateral damage. I
• 45:28
  Speaker 2: was like, it starts with to see I can't, I
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: can't sig you know of it. I do think that
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: the Chuck Ways one was the one that's probably like
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: obviously mentioned Rangers, but I think Chuck Ways one was
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: also very rather interesting one because he seems like he
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: seemed to have like more of a like I guess.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: Oh listen, he was he was a player that came
• 45:46
  Speaker 3: up in moments. I don't think he's a he was
• 45:48
  Speaker 3: me one's best player by any stretch of the imagination.
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: But I think it just it's clear that looks like
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: he's gonna stick with a three a three back and
• 45:57
  Speaker 3: he's kind of you know, where does these types of
• 45:59
  Speaker 3: winger players fit. You know, he's not a striker, he's
• 46:01
  Speaker 3: not gonna play a wing back position, and you know
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: sound makers can can do that. So that's why obviously
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: he likes him, and he knows he's gonna run effortlessly
• 46:10
  Speaker 3: or tirelessly down you know, the right flank and do
• 46:14
  Speaker 3: whatever he's basically told. So you know, some of these players,
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: I get maybe they don't fit in the system, but
• 46:20
  Speaker 3: you were you would like to just have some sort
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: of options on the bench, because for me, there's certain
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: options on the bench.
• 46:27
  Speaker 4: Now.
• 46:27
  Speaker 3: It's like, you know, besides the midfield players, it's it's
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: it's more of these attackers that I'm I'm a bit
• 46:32
  Speaker 3: worried about. But hey, we'll see. You know, they they
• 46:35
  Speaker 3: picked up three points out of a possible six open
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: the season. Not the best way possible, but hey, they
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: gotta clean sheet against they play they play le ship
• 46:43
  Speaker 3: over the weekend, so you know much getting his first
• 46:48
  Speaker 3: assist on on the loft, his cheek goal and uh
• 46:51
  Speaker 3: pooritch coming up clutch like he like he did a
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: lot of last season and since he's joined me one.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: So I'm just curious to see how how it continues
• 47:00
  Speaker 3: and uh, you know, after the international break, will we'll
• 47:03
  Speaker 3: get a better maybe a better picture. Yeah, fair enough,
• 47:07
  Speaker 3: But for you and Johnny Fornopoly, I know many moves
• 47:10
  Speaker 3: and I want to quality ones as well.
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, honestly, I I'm impressed by this market.
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: H I just started to cut you off. I don't
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: want to cut you off before you're talking. But when
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: you were, when you weren't on, we had calm uh
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: from from NAP Toronto, president of Toronto. See he said,
• 47:30
  Speaker 3: I think one of the best markets he's seen for.
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: Well, I was on actually on that episode. It was
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: last week. I'm sorry, yeah, no, no, but like the
• 47:39
  Speaker 2: fact that they're used to bring it up again. Yeah,
• 47:42
  Speaker 2: but it's the fact that you added Hoyland as well,
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: uh through the mix, which is you know, mind blowing
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: because I'm like, because I was discussing this with Coutrash,
• 47:52
  Speaker 2: long term friend, long term front of the show friends,
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: big big Monopoly fan, and he's one who suggested Hoyland
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: in the first place would have been a good pick
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: for Napol because they're looking at because United was looking
• 48:02
  Speaker 2: to loan them out and stuff and them going for it. Basically,
• 48:06
  Speaker 2: I feel like it speaks in a sense of like
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: not that they don't like they don't like like Lucaco's
• 48:14
  Speaker 2: gonna be out for a long time. It's just more
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: like they don't believe Luca is mature enough yet or
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: strong enough yet to handle that secondary uh, that secondary
• 48:25
  Speaker 2: striker role, you know, or the backup striker role, like
• 48:27
  Speaker 2: like like yeah, like they're like like Hoylan and Lucaco
• 48:32
  Speaker 2: seems more Lucacu seems more secure for Conte to do
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: it as a rotation for league and Champions League matchups
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: versus let's say Lucacu and Luka for what it was
• 48:43
  Speaker 2: go looking at at the moment. Now, I'm I'm on
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: the same side as you ag as you said before,
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: but especially with Kamarada, where it's like have these kids play,
• 48:52
  Speaker 2: you know, like you have these kids in the system,
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: why don't you use them? You know, and like Luca
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: is one of those players, but at the like not
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: pleasing in a different position to what I think Luca.
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: I think Luca wasn't expecting to be thrown into the
• 49:08
  Speaker 3: into the fire because he had him in his head.
• 49:10
  Speaker 3: I think he already thought he's like, Okay, well I'm
• 49:12
  Speaker 3: backing up Lukaku. He goes down and now he's like
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: put onto the onto the front fourth and I don't
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: want to already dis him, but like he looked terrible.
• 49:20
  Speaker 3: Over the weekend. They brought in Ambrosino, right, the young player,
• 49:23
  Speaker 3: right twenty one years old, and to your point, there
• 49:26
  Speaker 3: you go, you have a guy like Ambrosino on the
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: on the on on the bench that you know, before
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: bringing in Hoyland, that you can bring on like I
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: wish kind of Kamara. The situation was a me one.
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: But I digress.
• 49:40
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I I I I like it. It's it's it's
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: it's it's shows. It's showing that the Lorentis is now
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: he's instead of like banking up that money, he's willing
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: to spend and he's willing to invest in the team
• 49:53
  Speaker 2: to make them a heavyweight in Sariya. Because you know,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: you're like you're at a point where Milan is in
• 50:02
  Speaker 2: a is in a rebuild, so they have some they
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: have some good pieces. They have some good pieces, but
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: they're also like in a rebuilding a sense of like
• 50:08
  Speaker 2: you're trying to find new management, new uh manager, coach
• 50:14
  Speaker 2: whatever like that. That's one thing. UVE is also going
• 50:17
  Speaker 2: through a bit of a saga with Okay, like, well
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: they they let go of oh my god, who was
• 50:24
  Speaker 2: who was a former.
• 50:28
  Speaker 4: Uh?
• 50:28
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, jun uh you know, like yeah, they
• 50:31
  Speaker 2: get rid of they bring in Juntle, get rid of him.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: They don't they don't seem to like understand like okay,
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: they're they're in they're in a stuck position financially, into themselves.
• 50:40
  Speaker 2: Also that Majakibus had had a good first game didn't
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: go so well the second game, you know, into themselves,
• 50:47
  Speaker 2: you know, like they're a bit of like they're a
• 50:48
  Speaker 2: bit of a shake up. Now is the time where
• 50:50
  Speaker 2: if you want to establish some kind of dominancy or
• 50:53
  Speaker 2: like era of of like strong finishes and said, ah,
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: now is the moment to do it because your competition
• 50:59
  Speaker 2: is weaker. Now, I'm not saying they're weak team. So
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: that's not what I'm trying to say. Before people come
• 51:03
  Speaker 2: at me with pitchforks. And because they're the Big three,
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: they're not gonna be in those type of positions long.
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: So that's why when they're in these positions like as such,
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: you try to capitalize it as much as you can.
• 51:15
  Speaker 2: There's been many years where you finished second fiddle to
• 51:17
  Speaker 2: Uve for School Detto Push and how many times like
• 51:19
  Speaker 2: Napoli could have had an extra two three scotti to
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: their history, but it just you were just better at
• 51:23
  Speaker 2: the time. So now's your chance to make up for
• 51:26
  Speaker 2: those lost moments. Maybe you can win another School Detto.
• 51:29
  Speaker 2: It's gonna be harder, but maybe you could especially So
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: that's why I like go for it and I and
• 51:33
  Speaker 2: and that's what I like about all these moves done
• 51:36
  Speaker 2: by done by de Lorentis. It's because he's showing he's
• 51:39
  Speaker 2: showing content that Hey, I'm serious, you said you said
• 51:42
  Speaker 2: you want you would only stay if I spend the money,
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: you know, and give you a good championship type of
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: the champions league type of team. I'm buying players I'm
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: and they're not like you like no, not like peanut
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: players are like you know, like bottom of the barrel
• 51:54
  Speaker 2: bargain bin players. It's like you know some of these
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: are names. I'm getting these guys for you. I got
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: you know, like like like the being the biggest one
• 52:01
  Speaker 2: at the start, you know, and then you get Hoyland
• 52:02
  Speaker 2: afterwards and stuff. You know, got you your winger that
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: you we lost last winter, So now he's paying much
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: putting the ball in contest court, Like, all right, I
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: gave you a roster. It's not obviously it's not a
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: legendary roster that all the other teams have had in
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: their past, but it's it's a roster that you can
• 52:18
  Speaker 2: do stuff with. Go ahead and uh, the Slavs game
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: versus Pisa Pisa when the Kallidi I was saying about
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: the Roma game, but like because that one also ended
• 52:30
  Speaker 2: one zero, mind you, the piece of game ended one
• 52:32
  Speaker 2: zero on a different reason. But the Kalliady game was
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: just more like like it demonstrated that, like you you
• 52:39
  Speaker 2: were so close to winning, sorry, you're so close to
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: just a drawing, and it took the last minute effort
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: to for like Monopoly themselves. Like it was just it
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: was uncharacteristically like weird. I don't want to explain it,
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: like like you had that feeling that they were going
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: to score eventually you're just they're like, what is it
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: going to take at this point, Like there's nothing something,
• 52:57
  Speaker 2: something's got to give, something makes sense. So it was
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: just so funny to see that. And I feel like,
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: as if you know, you had players like this to
• 53:07
  Speaker 2: kind of get that I guess winning your championship mentality
• 53:10
  Speaker 2: into the team, and I feel like they have it.
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: And uh, I honestly, this market started off really good
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: for me in my opinion, I felt like as if
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: it started off, you know, like it was like an
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: eight on ten and now that Hoyland edition bumps it
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: up to a nine. For me, I think it's I
• 53:26
  Speaker 2: think I think I have to give it a nine
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: on ten for for a Napolis. For Napoli's Metcato this season.
• 53:33
  Speaker 3: Solid they have added a dish, like we've we've spoken
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: about it already, but you know, just from top to bottom,
• 53:38
  Speaker 3: they've aded pieces. If it be on their starting lineup,
• 53:41
  Speaker 3: if it be on their bench. H And like you said, Johnny,
• 53:45
  Speaker 3: you know the tools are in Uh. You know, Content
• 53:47
  Speaker 3: was able to work with the tools he had last
• 53:49
  Speaker 3: year and make it work, and now he's added you know,
• 53:52
  Speaker 3: he's added some real power tools right to his to
• 53:55
  Speaker 3: his tool belt and uh, let's you know, let's see
• 53:57
  Speaker 3: what more damage you can do. Maybe can build you know,
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: more than just a house. Maybe he can build a
• 54:01
  Speaker 3: condo now, right, we'll see what he can build. Right,
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: So and you know, for me looking outside in it,
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: like see, those are the types of moves that you know,
• 54:12
  Speaker 3: you you you want? I think who's your it was
• 54:15
  Speaker 3: it you did as Portiva? It's Manna is that?
• 54:19
  Speaker 1: Uh?
• 54:20
  Speaker 3: I forget, I forget, forget you forgetting his name? To
• 54:23
  Speaker 3: hold on, I think it's Manda his last name. No,
• 54:26
  Speaker 3: I forget his name or if he's just I forget
• 54:29
  Speaker 3: what his role is that guy? But anyways, whoever it is,
• 54:32
  Speaker 3: they've been they've been doing some good work for for
• 54:35
  Speaker 3: for for Napolis. So it is Ghann Giovanni him he's
• 54:42
  Speaker 3: been doing he's been doing some good work. And uh,
• 54:44
  Speaker 3: you know what, I think a lot of credit goes
• 54:45
  Speaker 3: to him. Yes, obviously, you know deorent Is finally opened
• 54:48
  Speaker 3: up the you know, the checkbook and uh you know,
• 54:51
  Speaker 3: going in those those movie producer pockets right and and
• 54:55
  Speaker 3: spilling some of the cash. And Conte being Conte, and
• 54:58
  Speaker 3: you know he demands a lot and uh, usually when
• 55:01
  Speaker 3: he when he demands, he gets unless and if he doesn't,
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: he winds and leaves. So listen, it's uh, it's it's
• 55:08
  Speaker 3: been working and we'll see if you know, like you said, Johnny,
• 55:12
  Speaker 3: if that window because that window of opportunity sometimes it
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: can it can close pretty fast. And again they'll they'll
• 55:18
  Speaker 3: definitely can be for the scudetto. We know that. Uh,
• 55:21
  Speaker 3: we said it in our preview show. So they'll they'll
• 55:24
  Speaker 3: be there. And I think it's if they if they
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: get over the hump again this year, it'll be because
• 55:28
  Speaker 3: of the additions that they've added and just their their
• 55:31
  Speaker 3: overall squad and you know obviously in the park. So guys,
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: before next sorry, I want to just ask you just
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: your your grade for even just the middle. Uh.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: But yeah, Italy game in two days, you know this podcast,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: come on, come on on thursdays. You know we can
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: say tomorrow against Estonia and then Monday against Israel. Big games,
• 55:58
  Speaker 1: right if they made a wain these games, there's no
• 56:03
  Speaker 1: question about it. They need to come out with six points.
• 56:06
  Speaker 1: Blutuzzo is first call ups, a lot of players called up,
• 56:10
  Speaker 1: you know, it makes he wants to see everyone in
• 56:15
  Speaker 1: three fresh face, fresh faces getting their first call ups
• 56:18
  Speaker 1: Jovanne Leona eighteen years old from Liverpool, Jovanni Fabian the
• 56:22
  Speaker 1: twenty two year old from Bologna and for Cesco Pio
• 56:24
  Speaker 1: I supposely to with the most religious name out of
• 56:27
  Speaker 1: the whole group, twenty years old from inter Milance. So
• 56:32
  Speaker 1: those are the three obvious. Marco Kuanniseki is another one
• 56:35
  Speaker 1: who's who has yet to make a cap for Italy,
• 56:37
  Speaker 1: but obviously he's most been called up multiple Tigers. Just
• 56:40
  Speaker 1: hard to get a game in as a goalie with
• 56:44
  Speaker 1: Italy with with who's ahead of him. For me, no
• 56:49
  Speaker 1: surprises early in terms of who's in the team. You know,
• 56:53
  Speaker 1: you guys see it at the bottom on the ticker there.
• 56:55
  Speaker 1: I made a mistake with Orsolini's name.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: But I think I think the one or or I
• 57:04
  Speaker 4: think maybe the one player that.
• 57:08
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't say surprise isn't on the team. But maybe
• 57:10
  Speaker 1: I would have expected him to get called up just
• 57:12
  Speaker 1: because Gatuzo is apparently inviting everybody is Kisa. You know
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: there's not yet decent starts this season Liverpool. I know
• 57:21
  Speaker 1: he scored. Look he's not a player that if Italy
• 57:25
  Speaker 1: makes a World Cup. He's not even in my World
• 57:27
  Speaker 1: Cup team, he's not even close to it. It's unfortunate.
• 57:31
  Speaker 1: His downfall is something we're going to study in ten
• 57:33
  Speaker 1: years from now. But there are players who are better
• 57:37
  Speaker 1: than him right now and they're called up by Gatuso.
• 57:42
  Speaker 3: So well, if he's if he's anywhere near the national team,
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: it's because he's gonna have to earn it. He's gonna
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: have to earn it. And I know Gatuso came out
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: with his press conference, I think he was asked the
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: question about Kiazza, uh you know, and I think you know,
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: he spoke to Kizza from from what the reports you're saying,
• 57:58
  Speaker 3: and they both felt maybe, you know, it wasn't the
• 58:01
  Speaker 3: right time for him to come back to the national team. So, uh,
• 58:04
  Speaker 3: he still needs to work to get back to to
• 58:07
  Speaker 3: a level where you know, he can maybe compete for
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: for his spot and earn his spot. So if he's
• 58:12
  Speaker 3: anywhere near, uh, you know, a potential World Cup squad
• 58:16
  Speaker 3: next summer, it's it's because he earned it and not
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: just because it was given to him. So I think
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: Catuso like, leave it to Katuso to to make you
• 58:24
  Speaker 3: earn your spot, right, So that's what I'm that's what
• 58:27
  Speaker 3: I like from what I've seen so far from Katuso,
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: and I know, very small sympathize where we get a
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: true test once, you know, the game kicks off against
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: Estonia in Bergomo on Friday. But he's, uh, he's gonna
• 58:40
  Speaker 3: bring we know what he's gonna bring. He's gonna bring
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: that green, he's gonna bring that that togetherness, you know,
• 58:45
  Speaker 3: that that really that you know, fight for the shirt mentality,
• 58:49
  Speaker 3: and you know, if if these players are want to
• 58:52
  Speaker 3: be serious, they're gonna have to jump on board. And
• 58:55
  Speaker 3: it's it looks like from you know, the videos we
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: see and just from the attitude, from from what we
• 58:59
  Speaker 3: see on social medi and from what the reports you're saying,
• 59:02
  Speaker 3: it seems to be positive in that direction. So we'll see.
• 59:05
  Speaker 3: But I just wanted to add that for Kiaza because
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: I think but he got left off the Champions League
• 59:11
  Speaker 3: squad for for Liverpool, right, and that was a big
• 59:12
  Speaker 3: talking point. You know this, I think yesterday or today
• 59:15
  Speaker 3: whenever it was. And listen, he's still he still needs
• 59:19
  Speaker 3: to continue like that one goal against Brentford is not
• 59:22
  Speaker 3: gonna you know, just automatically flip the switch and you
• 59:25
  Speaker 3: know he's back to twenty twenty one, right, so listen,
• 59:29
  Speaker 3: I still I still think he has things to give
• 59:32
  Speaker 3: and he's for me, he's still a quality player, but
• 59:35
  Speaker 3: he needs to be able to show it on the
• 59:36
  Speaker 3: pitch consistently for him to earn if it be a
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: spot on Liverpool, if it be a spot on Italy,
• 59:45
  Speaker 3: if it be wherever he potentially goes after Liverpool. I
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: know a lot of fans were saying, you know, he
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: made a mistake for to trying to stay there and
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: trying to earn his spot, and he should have went
• 59:54
  Speaker 3: maybe came back to Italy or went abroad or went
• 59:56
  Speaker 3: wherever else. And listen, it is what it is, and
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 3: wherever he goes and wherever he aligned and whatever happens
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: to Keiza, he's gonna have to earn it and we'll
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: see if he does.
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, for sure. I don't know if you guys had
• 1:00:09
  Speaker 1: any other surprises or what do you guys think of
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 1: the roster, And obviously what do you think of the game.
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 1: The game's coming up, because obviously, like I said, he
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: has to get six points. I think Fortuso gets to
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 1: make sure the guys are ready to come out with
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: six points. They can't play down to Estonia or Israel's level,
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 1: so I expect them to come out strong straight up.
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: You know, new coach.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: We often see this with new coaches at the club level,
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: that you know, players are gonna come out strong. Other
• 1:00:35
  Speaker 1: you know, names that I think we should watch for
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 1: throughout the year. Mobile and bernad Eski to come back
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: to Italy. It's a World Cup year, you know, there
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 1: might be a reason for that. I know iMobile started
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 1: on the weekend against Roma. Obviously I didn't expect him
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: to be in the team.
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 3: But oh yeah he's out a couple of weeks, so
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 3: a couple of months.
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: There you go. But you know, these are tube names
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: that if if they get off this season, they might
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: be able to make it back on the team. But
• 1:01:07
  Speaker 1: I think it would take a lot regardless.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I had some things to say, but Johnny, don't
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 3: know if you wanted to jump in there.
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 2: No, honestly speaking, I think I I I think the
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 2: roster this time around is a very interesting one and
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 2: I don't hate it.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: I like it actually.
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 2: I think, uh, it's nice to see like like players
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: like Osolini be on the on the roster and stuff,
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 2: and like I want to see what we get more
• 1:01:33
  Speaker 2: out of him and stuff. Not really much more I
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 2: can add. I'm just I'm just curious to see what
• 1:01:39
  Speaker 2: information he goes with.
• 1:01:41
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, that's true.
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 2: I agree that that's that's that's that's more and more
• 1:01:44
  Speaker 2: or less what I wanted to add. I don't see
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 2: much more after that. I think you guys said it
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 2: said some really good points. Yeah I forgot and I
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 2: forgot about the Desky being back to holy Ship another
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 2: fucking return. That's just like my brain is.
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 3: Like we could have find that one too, right, even
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 3: even more right too to Bologna, right, I mean it's
• 1:02:02
  Speaker 3: unfortunately got injured so so soon. But but yeah, it's
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: two random ones. So but yeah, I know what I
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 3: want to just add is is, uh, you know he
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 3: had he brought in twenty eight players he got he
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 3: called the twenty eight players you know leave. It took
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 3: a toos again to have to have the balls to
• 1:02:20
  Speaker 3: kind of to to to bring on this. You know,
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 3: the leone kid, right, you know, former from a former
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 3: player of Potoma. He just made the move to Liverpool
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 3: at eighteen years old. It's it's it's it's incredible for him. Uh,
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 3: fat behind is an interesting one because you know, he's
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 3: been around in the youth ranks and under Italiano and
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 3: just at Bologna. His time at Bologna has been I
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 3: think an interesting player too that has been integrated in
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 3: those squads. So it's it's cool to see him, you know,
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 3: get a get a look in and and whatnot. And
• 1:02:53
  Speaker 3: I think besides the leone being you know, the hot
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 3: name of being so young and making the transfer to
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: the Premier League and and all that, the thing Puosposito
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: has been, it's been another hot name, right, another young
• 1:03:04
  Speaker 3: uh young player. Uh we've what nineteen years old I
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: think he is, if not twenty, that's something like that.
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 3: So I like the fact that Gatuzo brought a flury
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 3: of forwards too, if I'm honest, because we've seen in
• 1:03:19
  Speaker 3: the later co ops of under Spaletti it was like
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 3: what four max five forwards and nowhere Seleni and it
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 3: was like only you know, one and a half strikers,
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 3: two strikers and the other one was Raspadori, who plays
• 1:03:34
  Speaker 3: a bit all over. So I like that, you know, Gatuzo,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 3: you know, brought uh, you know a good amount of
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 3: players per position group. I think like I said it
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 3: was twenty eight total. We'll see if any and any changes,
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 3: if hopefully no injuries happened, but you never know what
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 3: can happen from from from tonight till uh till till Friday.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 3: So we'll see. But I just like the different you know,
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 3: options at forward and to Johnny's point, what formation's gonna
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 3: go to? Well, he played three at the back. I've
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 3: I've seen some reports say he might go through at
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 3: the back, he might go to traditional four three three.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 3: I can see it'll be playing either or. But I
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 3: think he wants to maybe going towards more of the
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 3: four back. From what I've understood a bit more, I
• 1:04:24
  Speaker 3: think that can maybe suit. It'll be maybe a bit better.
• 1:04:31
  Speaker 3: I don't know. I'm just curious, like I want to
• 1:04:33
  Speaker 3: see that first, like we're always so curious to see
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 3: that first starting eleven under like a new manager or
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 3: just that first uh you know, wind up to see
• 1:04:41
  Speaker 3: who gets the first crack at at these at these
• 1:04:45
  Speaker 3: at these lineups. So we'll wait for that. But I
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 3: thinks maybe some omissions that you know, besides the KI
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 3: is a one that out of people, you know, Recncy bias,
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 3: I guess you can say I know bunch of or
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: no was was dealing with uh was dealing with a
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: with a bit of an injury. He got onto the
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 3: field for Napoly over the over the weekend, provide the
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: obviously the important assist to Zambo and Lisa for the winner.
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: It's unfortunately, I think I would obviously like to see
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 3: him in the rotation and and uh, another one is
• 1:05:18
  Speaker 3: Adichi for me. I know I'm maybe a sounding a
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 3: bit biased with the mewan, uh with my mewan, you know, bias.
• 1:05:24
  Speaker 2: But.
• 1:05:26
  Speaker 3: I would like to see him integrated. I know I've
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 3: saw quotes that you know, just because he's not called
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 3: up or it's just because some of these players are
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: not called up for this co op, it doesn't mean
• 1:05:34
  Speaker 3: that they're totally iced out of the of the squad.
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 3: So I think these guys need to get on the
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 3: pitch and more minutes at club level to again earn
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 3: their spot to to be part of this national team.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 3: So besides that, uh, nothing comes more to mind. H.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 3: I mean, you know, uh, I guess another one like
• 1:05:56
  Speaker 3: I'm glad that kind of also that Gatoos kind of
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 3: kept an eye on on just multiple players and in
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 3: multiple leagues as well, like the tag Like I for
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 3: I was scared me about it at Tagy going to Saudi,
• 1:06:08
  Speaker 3: Like not only that, you know we lose him from
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 3: said yeah, but what does this say for maybe his
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 3: his international career? Now, you guys know, I've been a
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 3: fan of the Tagie on the show in the past.
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 3: I praised him a lot and I think he's another
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 3: addition for our forward line that can that can help
• 1:06:25
  Speaker 3: makes the move to Saudi and gets called up in
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 3: the first call up, So again that's something positive.
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 3: Again, who does he go with that? That striker? I
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 3: don't know yet. Is it going to be the tag
• 1:06:35
  Speaker 3: Is it going to be uh, you know guy Kamaka
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 3: who's coming back from from his injury and and pointing well,
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 3: and or is it moise a Keen that you know
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 3: was incredible last year and I don't I think he
• 1:06:46
  Speaker 3: got off to maybe a bit of a sore start
• 1:06:48
  Speaker 3: this year, but still a quality quality forward for Italy.
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 3: So and then you know, even even off again, I
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 3: guess you can say a guy like Lorenzo Luka right like,
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 3: there's very a lot of players that have similar quality.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: I don't know how many six six Italian strikers, you
• 1:07:04
  Speaker 3: can add, right, uh, if it be between Scamaca and
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 3: Lorenzo Luca, even he's a tall he's a tall forward, right,
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 3: so we'll see. I think there's obviously some locks in
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: this team that we've said a lot when speaking about
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: the Azuri in terms of, you know, if it be
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: the obviously the Donna Rumas of the world, the Barrellas
• 1:07:26
  Speaker 3: Ton's of the world. But there's a lot of positions
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: at Bastoni right in the back. But there's a lot
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: of positions and a lot of players that again they
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: have to qualify first for the World Cup and because
• 1:07:37
  Speaker 3: we know that's no easy task for Italy, but there's
• 1:07:40
  Speaker 3: gonna be a lot of players are gonna have to
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 3: really fight for for their starting spot if if they
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: want to be a staple for this uh for this
• 1:07:48
  Speaker 3: national team. So I'm curious to see who that is.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 3: And yeah, uh for me, like to bounce off to
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: a Nick said, also, it has to be two from two, right,
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 3: We're already we're already behind the eight ball, guys, Like
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 3: we're what are we already nine points? I mean, I
• 1:08:06
  Speaker 3: know we have one get the last game, but what
• 1:08:08
  Speaker 3: were already nine points behind Norway, I think.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 4: With two games in hand, so even if you win
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 4: these two games.
• 1:08:19
  Speaker 1: You're still still three points back, exactly right, And then
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 1: it really needs to win out.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: It's as simple as that.
• 1:08:27
  Speaker 1: They need to win every single game to give themselves
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 1: even a chance at first place or else it's another playoff,
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 1: which I again, I know.
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 3: About you guys, but we don't need that, man, we
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 3: don't need that in our lives.
• 1:08:43
  Speaker 1: Again, Like seriously, fifty three on a Wednesday night, beautiful
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 1: September day today, and I want to flip this just
• 1:08:50
  Speaker 1: talking about.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: It, but it's true. It's the truth. Like they have
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: to win out. And the last match day of this
• 1:08:55
  Speaker 3: of this qualifying campaign, the last one is against who
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 3: it's against norm Way right at the san Ziero so
• 1:09:02
  Speaker 3: are we were guys, that's in the half right there,
• 1:09:06
  Speaker 3: so for it's Canada, right, I guess I don't know,
• 1:09:11
  Speaker 3: you know, it's just uh, it's just you know, I
• 1:09:16
  Speaker 3: agree with what you said. Next, they have to win
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 3: out to it's not only this this uh international break
• 1:09:21
  Speaker 3: that you know. They need two from two, They need
• 1:09:24
  Speaker 3: the rest, they need all the points they can get
• 1:09:26
  Speaker 3: and but finishing second isn't like they can still finish second, right, Like,
• 1:09:32
  Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken.
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 1: That's so that's a lot more reachable, reachable, which I
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 1: think that's where you get into the playoffs.
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so again we'll see uh it starts Friday, uh
• 1:09:44
  Speaker 3: in Bati against uh Estonia. I just want to see
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 3: and I mean, I don't know for a fact, but
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: if I would have to bet on it, I would
• 1:09:54
  Speaker 3: say probably. I just want to see these players, whoever
• 1:09:58
  Speaker 3: it may be, and from now into the future that
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: gets called up just to fight for the damn shirt man.
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: And again, if there's one guy to to to make
• 1:10:07
  Speaker 3: you do that even when you don't want to do it,
• 1:10:09
  Speaker 3: it's Janato Gatuzo. So I'm a bit of a homer
• 1:10:13
  Speaker 3: because I love him so much for for for obviously
• 1:10:16
  Speaker 3: being a meal and legend and and and then Zoodi
• 1:10:18
  Speaker 3: legend for us too, right, But I just want to
• 1:10:21
  Speaker 3: see him do well. And I think, you know, they
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: put a lot of trust in him. And obviously maybe
• 1:10:27
  Speaker 3: it wasn't the first choice or the flashy name or
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: you know, the coach that really can take you, uh
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 3: take you to another level tactically and technically and all that.
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 3: But if there's one, like I said, if the one
• 1:10:37
  Speaker 3: guy to rally the troops, wait for the shirt. Uh,
• 1:10:42
  Speaker 3: you know, really togetherness and and obviously that Grina. It's
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: it's like I said, Janato Gatuzo and uh, yeah, it starts.
• 1:10:49
  Speaker 3: It starts Friday, so I'm excited.
• 1:10:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and Normway plays on Tuesday, so he plays the
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 1: two games and then normally plays against Moldova on Tuesday.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 4: So something to keep an eye on. But yeah, guys,
• 1:11:02
  Speaker 4: that'll do it for us, Adri.
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: You know the drill.
• 1:11:05
