Transcript
- 0:03Speaker 1: All right, I guess there's no intro video because, uh,
- 0:05Speaker 1: hello everyone, I got the Calcho guys. You got Johnny here,
- 0:10Speaker 1: we got Adri Adri. How's it going?
- 0:13Speaker 2: Not bad, not bad, It's it's a little bit of
- 0:15Speaker 2: a makeshift. It shows when we don't have Nick on
- 0:17Speaker 2: the on the show, he's kind of like the brains
- 0:20Speaker 2: of the operation. We're just here talking, talking away, but different,
- 0:25Speaker 2: different vibe. Today Nick is missing, so we're it's gonna
- 0:29Speaker 2: be us too, and we have a special guest, uh
- 0:32Speaker 2: Daniel Lucci from a j C all you a cast
- 0:35Speaker 2: coming in in a little bit of time. So yeah,
- 0:37Speaker 2: I'm happy to be back. And it's always fun talking culture.
- 0:40Speaker 1: Yeah, Nicholas, sorry, Nicholas not here for good reasons. He's
- 0:44Speaker 1: just he's okay, he's just taking the night off. The
- 0:47Speaker 1: guy had a long day today, So just me and
- 0:49Speaker 1: Ag are gonna carry the load, which is great because
- 0:51Speaker 1: that means you don't have two Juventini on the pod.
- 0:53Speaker 1: We're only gonna have one when comes so.
- 0:58Speaker 2: We're even numbers.
- 0:59Speaker 1: Yeah, so we don't have to worry about it. And
- 1:01Speaker 1: I'm just joking around. They had a very very big
- 1:04Speaker 1: win this week, winning the very very massive game, great
- 1:10Speaker 1: for even a casual A lot of back and forth
- 1:12Speaker 1: and stuff. But we'll get there when Lucci comes on,
- 1:15Speaker 1: because it's only fair they to get a Uventino to
- 1:17Speaker 1: actually be on the pod to actually discuss it fur
- 1:19Speaker 1: their in detail, because only Uventino will be able to
- 1:21Speaker 1: do that match justice. So we'll start off, I guess
- 1:26Speaker 1: I'll start off with the bad, then move on with
- 1:27Speaker 1: the good. Uh, we'll start off with one of my
- 1:30Speaker 1: teams to start off with Roma. Roma losing one zero
- 1:34Speaker 1: two Torino at on the road. Honestly speaking, not a
- 1:40Speaker 1: game that I was expecting, not a result that I
- 1:45Speaker 1: was expecting. Just I was shocked. I think Israel did
- 1:49Speaker 1: a I think first of all, Israel is probably MVP
- 1:51Speaker 1: of the match, pulled some very key saves, basically kept
- 1:56Speaker 1: Torino like like he's the reason why there was the
- 1:58Speaker 1: clean the clean shape like, because it wasn't as if
- 2:01Speaker 1: for Roma we weren't taking your chances. Mind you, some
- 2:03Speaker 1: some of the headers that Roma got and some of
- 2:05Speaker 1: the offense that they got were on target, but you know,
- 2:10Speaker 1: they still they still did a good job in terms
- 2:13Speaker 1: of like some offensive momentum. It was just more like
- 2:17Speaker 1: just nothing was going in. It's uh, it was really
- 2:21Speaker 1: sad to see though, because one of the things that
- 2:24Speaker 1: is worrying me right now, as Romani says, the fact
- 2:27Speaker 1: that the Bala is injured. This guy can't get this
- 2:30Speaker 1: guy can't catch your break.
- 2:32Speaker 2: Eh, he's fuck the he's made of paper.
- 2:36Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, like at least still gonna be for
- 2:38Speaker 1: two weeks.
- 2:39Speaker 2: But yeah, I didn't see what what's the injury. I didn't.
- 2:42Speaker 2: I didn't catch what the injury was.
- 2:43Speaker 1: It was uh, I got I saw it earlier today
- 2:47Speaker 1: and I'm not we're calling it right now. All I
- 2:52Speaker 1: know is that it's only gonna be for two weeks.
- 2:54Speaker 1: He's gonna miss the lot so much. But but yeah,
- 2:58Speaker 1: I know it's uh, it's still it's it just sucks
- 3:01Speaker 1: because it's like, you want him to be your your
- 3:06Speaker 1: best player. He has to be your best player. But
- 3:07Speaker 1: it's just if you're not gonna get much mileage out
- 3:09Speaker 1: of him and for an amount of salary that you're paying,
- 3:11Speaker 1: and you know it just yeah, it hurts. He wants
- 3:13Speaker 1: to stay at all money, specifically stayed, especially with the
- 3:15Speaker 1: fact that we got Gasparini this year to help out
- 3:19Speaker 1: with the team and the plant and stuff. But you know,
- 3:22Speaker 1: that just puts a small wrench into things.
- 3:25Speaker 2: It does, and I think just to bounce off to
- 3:27Speaker 2: what you're what you're saying, I mean, it's kind of
- 3:29Speaker 2: Antonio Week three only match three, and it's I think
- 3:32Speaker 2: like the first small bump in the road for for Roma, right,
- 3:35Speaker 2: because they started off really well, you know obviously with
- 3:39Speaker 2: the two wins and the Gaspardini era really kicked off,
- 3:42Speaker 2: maybe to certain people's surprise. And listen, a little bump
- 3:46Speaker 2: in the road. I know some ROMANISTI were already already pissed,
- 3:50Speaker 2: like already like, oh my god, here we go. We
- 3:52Speaker 2: lose two, you know, but you know Baroni for for
- 3:55Speaker 2: Tonino and it's you know, obviously they have some some
- 3:58Speaker 2: history there with him coach lots so the last few years.
- 4:01Speaker 2: So I don't know, I think it was one of
- 4:04Speaker 2: these things, you know. It was kind of the knop Weik.
- 4:06Speaker 2: It's funny because it's your nap We boys, your former
- 4:09Speaker 2: nap We boys right in in Gange and uh and
- 4:13Speaker 2: Tulito Simone who kind of put the dagger in half
- 4:16Speaker 2: your heart right with with the one they'll wins. So
- 4:19Speaker 2: it was funny to see that but uh, I guess,
- 4:21Speaker 2: you know, good for Simone, you know, kind of I
- 4:25Speaker 2: don't know if he's if it's his first goal of
- 4:27Speaker 2: the year, I believe so, and it is he so
- 4:31Speaker 2: you just kind of kickstart kickstarting his his campaign in Torino.
- 4:35Speaker 2: It's you know, obviously, I think the ties that he
- 4:38Speaker 2: had with Napoli was was you know, he was there
- 4:41Speaker 2: for some big moments and you know, going over to
- 4:43Speaker 2: Torino and catching a win against against a rival in Roma,
- 4:47Speaker 2: and it's it's it's it's huge for for Torino. So
- 4:50Speaker 2: I think small bumping the road for Roma. But again
- 4:53Speaker 2: not something that if you make If Roman makes us
- 4:56Speaker 2: a habit, that's a different story. But I think if
- 4:57Speaker 2: if they can kind of turn the page quick and
- 5:00Speaker 2: and move on, which I think under Gosperini, they they
- 5:03Speaker 2: should be mentally solid. I think I think they'll be
- 5:07Speaker 2: in good hands. But again, we were expecting this. I
- 5:09Speaker 2: don't think you're expecting you know, thirty eight from thirty
- 5:12Speaker 2: eight wins, right, So it's it's it's so hard to
- 5:16Speaker 2: win to win games in this league, especially going perfect,
- 5:19Speaker 2: so small bump in the road, but I think Roma
- 5:22Speaker 2: will be, uh will be good to go even without
- 5:24Speaker 2: without the Bao. They've done it in the past, and
- 5:27Speaker 2: I think they can, you know, in his obsence, I
- 5:29Speaker 2: think they can. You know, they can carry the road
- 5:31Speaker 2: with the other players that they have, and they should.
- 5:34Speaker 2: I would think they would be good to go going forward.
- 5:36Speaker 1: I think so too. I mean, like, like it it
- 5:40Speaker 1: took a very beautiful shot by sime on it to
- 5:42Speaker 1: just like get it in, Like it was a very
- 5:44Speaker 1: well placed curves v large stretched as much as he could,
- 5:47Speaker 1: as long as if Feeler put no Eforty put as
- 5:49Speaker 1: much effort as he could, couldn't save it well play shot,
- 5:51Speaker 1: and I feel like it's just one of those games
- 5:53Speaker 1: where it's like you just sometimes you just lose. Like
- 5:57Speaker 1: it's not you can it's not because you played, it's
- 6:00Speaker 1: not because uh you had bad calls. It's just there's
- 6:04Speaker 1: gonna be games where it just you don't have any explanation.
- 6:06Speaker 2: You just lose.
- 6:07Speaker 1: And it seems like one of those games because it's
- 6:09Speaker 1: like they had Roma had you know, seventy three percent
- 6:11Speaker 1: possession of the ball, twenty two shots, five of which
- 6:14Speaker 1: were on target, and save like it's you know, like
- 6:18Speaker 1: expected goals, like we're in the one point something range
- 6:21Speaker 1: and you got zero out of it. That's just really
- 6:24Speaker 1: frank Israel just being phenomenal. And it's just I don't
- 6:28Speaker 1: know where Keino gets these keepers. They just seem to
- 6:30Speaker 1: have one ready to go.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Uh.
- 6:32Speaker 1: You know, you lose Milinkovich savage and now here comes
- 6:34Speaker 1: Israel coming up and it's like damn.
- 6:36Speaker 2: Uh.
- 6:36Speaker 1: These guys just have them coming out of the woodworks.
- 6:38Speaker 1: It's like at the Lanta developing strikers out of nowhere.
- 6:41Speaker 3: Uh.
- 6:42Speaker 2: And it listen, he stole a game for them, right,
- 6:44Speaker 2: So it's yeah, that's what you.
- 6:45Speaker 1: Need, that's what you want, especially in soccer. It's massive
- 6:48Speaker 1: if you have a if you have a keeper who's
- 6:50Speaker 1: able to steal games in soccer, that's that's not two points,
- 6:53Speaker 1: that's three points. And I know, like that's it's it's
- 6:57Speaker 1: very crucial come towards like when you're when you're starting
- 6:59Speaker 1: to pitch the any towards the end of the year
- 7:01Speaker 1: on like like what's your possible scenarios for the upcoming
- 7:05Speaker 1: international season or even for the battle of uh relegation
- 7:10Speaker 1: and whatnot, so or even or like if you're in
- 7:13Speaker 1: the bottom division's promotion but anyways, Uh, it was just
- 7:17Speaker 1: a game that Torino just managed to you know, we'll
- 7:20Speaker 1: take it and we'll go. They had that, they had
- 7:21Speaker 1: that one perfect moment. They got it, it went in
- 7:23Speaker 1: and that's it. You can't. That's why, like, as a Romanist,
- 7:27Speaker 1: I'm not mad by this result. I wasn't bothered by
- 7:30Speaker 1: it because it wasn't as like it didn't come from
- 7:35Speaker 1: a poor effort. The effort was there. It's just sometimes
- 7:39Speaker 1: you just lose. I think that's the best way I
- 7:40Speaker 1: can say. Uh yeah, So I'm just hoping that the
- 7:45Speaker 1: Balla situation is actually just two weeks. I'm not saying
- 7:48Speaker 1: he's like, he's not the main point of reference for
- 7:51Speaker 1: our offense, but him and Soulet are just fantastic together.
- 7:55Speaker 1: They do have players that can you know, take a
- 7:58Speaker 1: spot like Dovbick and whatnot, or even if he wants
- 8:02Speaker 1: to just for ships and gigs, you're gonna put off
- 8:05Speaker 1: up front. But I mean, like you have you have
- 8:07Speaker 1: the off pick anyways, Gasperini could probably be adjust the
- 8:10Speaker 1: formation and whatnot.
- 8:11Speaker 2: So it's what's the Friguson kid right too as well?
- 8:13Speaker 1: Yeah, Ferguson as well. There's there's options, so we'll see
- 8:17Speaker 1: how it goes. From here. Uh, but now to bounce
- 8:21Speaker 1: bounce away from one of my teams that bounced to Milan.
- 8:24Speaker 2: Uh, you know, crazy, crazy game.
- 8:27Speaker 1: Another win though, another win, Yeah, another win, another win. Uh.
- 8:33Speaker 2: I think you know in the in textbook Allegrity fashion, right,
- 8:37Speaker 2: the famous one nil Corto Muso just get over the
- 8:41Speaker 2: line just just enough, right, hell of a moment, you know,
- 8:47Speaker 2: just like I finally I say crazy game because if
- 8:49Speaker 2: anybody anybody listening actually watched the game, the refereeing and
- 8:54Speaker 2: just the calls, miss calls, uh, you know, just the moments. Uh,
- 8:59Speaker 2: it was just incredible to to witness, I guess good
- 9:03Speaker 2: and bad. So I think that the highlight, obviously is
- 9:07Speaker 2: is Luka Modrich, right, his first goal in saidiyah forty
- 9:11Speaker 2: years forty years young. Well, we'll say, but just you
- 9:16Speaker 2: know him coming to this league. And again we'll probably
- 9:19Speaker 2: get into it when we speak a bit about Napuly.
- 9:21Speaker 2: But and I think all year we're kind of kind
- 9:24Speaker 2: of bounced between these two guys. But you know, the
- 9:26Speaker 2: moditages of the world, the Bruynas of the world. You know,
- 9:29Speaker 2: these guys that are just just a step above, right,
- 9:32Speaker 2: They're they're just you know, just a class above, a
- 9:36Speaker 2: step above. It's it's it's remarkable to watch them and
- 9:40Speaker 2: it's so exciting, even at their older age, to watch
- 9:43Speaker 2: them in our league because you know, I again we've
- 9:46Speaker 2: probably stressed this point already enough in the first you know,
- 9:49Speaker 2: opening weeks of the of the season. But I think
- 9:52Speaker 2: these these types of players, you know, they're they're they're
- 9:54Speaker 2: suited for for our league, for how tactical it is,
- 9:57Speaker 2: and you know, these these maestros of the field that
- 10:00Speaker 2: they are, it's just they seem to seamlessly fit in.
- 10:04Speaker 2: So just a great moment for Modric, you know, being
- 10:08Speaker 2: so excited after the goal to like the celebration, like
- 10:11Speaker 2: you know, I didn't think in a million years we
- 10:15Speaker 2: would see me, you know, Moders and a Mealan kit
- 10:17Speaker 2: and it feels like it feels good because he's been
- 10:19Speaker 2: one of incredibly enough is he's been one of our
- 10:21Speaker 2: better players. So he gets his first goal, uh, and
- 10:25Speaker 2: he starts to play. He started to play, you know
- 10:27Speaker 2: from the deep point midfield kind of uh position on
- 10:31Speaker 2: the pitch, you know, kind of accelerates the play forward
- 10:36Speaker 2: I believe to rlc a loft his cheek gets it
- 10:40Speaker 2: to uh souad Makers maker's heads up play and I
- 10:45Speaker 2: think after his loan spells to to Your Roma, Johnny
- 10:48Speaker 2: and to Bologna as well. You know, he's kind of
- 10:53Speaker 2: he still has his sound maker's bone head mistakes and
- 10:56Speaker 2: kind of lack of awareness and trying to do too much,
- 10:58Speaker 2: but he's kind of developed a bit in these in
- 11:00Speaker 2: the last couple of years and so far from you on,
- 11:02Speaker 2: he's been he's been playing well, so I'll take it.
- 11:06Speaker 2: He said that jack of all trades player that you know,
- 11:10Speaker 2: anywhere he needs to be placed on the field, he
- 11:13Speaker 2: will do, no questions asked. So it's it's it's a
- 11:16Speaker 2: breath of fresh air as well for him and providing
- 11:19Speaker 2: the assist heads up play, finding moders who makes that
- 11:22Speaker 2: that late run into the box and you know, swats it,
- 11:25Speaker 2: you know, bottom bottom corner. It was just a thing
- 11:28Speaker 2: of beauty and you know, looking from the outside like
- 11:31Speaker 2: kind of like a bird's eye view of the play
- 11:32Speaker 2: that I think Sadiya Sadia had posted on their on
- 11:35Speaker 2: their socials, it's just again the IQ is high for
- 11:39Speaker 2: these guys like Madrich and you know, like I'll say,
- 11:42Speaker 2: the De Bruyne and stuff like that, So it's a
- 11:45Speaker 2: it was great. Don't get me wrong. I think we
- 11:48Speaker 2: saw another good debut in my opinion for Fadri and Rabio,
- 11:53Speaker 2: a player that kind of is growed at the hip
- 11:55Speaker 2: with with Max Ailegri right as we know. So he
- 11:59Speaker 2: brought him in and listen, he played. He played, I'm
- 12:02Speaker 2: pretty sure the whole game if I'm no mistaken, and
- 12:04Speaker 2: he he looked in good, in good shape. Coming after
- 12:08Speaker 2: the international break, swatting into the into the lineup right away,
- 12:12Speaker 2: uh and playing a pretty solid ninety I think was
- 12:15Speaker 2: for me, it was, you know, first glance, it was.
- 12:18Speaker 2: It was encouraging. The thing I don't like is that
- 12:21Speaker 2: with all these midfielders that we brought in, a guy
- 12:23Speaker 2: somewhere somewhere, theret ichi has to really earn his minutes
- 12:27Speaker 2: and come off the bench. It's it's a player that
- 12:29Speaker 2: I want to see at the national team level and
- 12:31Speaker 2: hopefully we will under Gatuzo going forward, but he has
- 12:35Speaker 2: to earn his minutes. And he made a cameo in
- 12:36Speaker 2: the second half and he looked he looked good as well.
- 12:39Speaker 2: So we'll take that again another week. You know, without Layo.
- 12:45Speaker 2: I know, Johnny, that's hurting a bit. Maybe your your
- 12:47Speaker 2: fonta cultural right, we have to wait a couple more weeks.
- 12:51Speaker 1: Week this week three two. I think uh playing would
- 12:57Speaker 1: have helped out.
- 12:58Speaker 2: It seems, but it's ms to be a couple more
- 13:00Speaker 2: weeks until hopefully he produces for me and then for
- 13:03Speaker 2: your fan. So they're saying potentially the match in against
- 13:08Speaker 2: not Po in two weeks, so we'll see if that
- 13:10Speaker 2: comes to fruition. But weird formation again, uh, for for
- 13:15Speaker 2: Legy three back it was kind of like a three.
- 13:19Speaker 2: I think they were listed as a three five one
- 13:21Speaker 2: to one. It was kind of one of those weird
- 13:23Speaker 2: formations and uh, Santi men is kind of leading the
- 13:26Speaker 2: line and Ruben off his chic right behind them, kind
- 13:29Speaker 2: of in that if you want to say ten roll
- 13:33Speaker 2: stuck in the midfield obviously your wing backs of Soyle
- 13:36Speaker 2: Makers and his Stupan and then the typical back three
- 13:38Speaker 2: with Magna between the sticks. Just again a lot of positives,
- 13:44Speaker 2: but again a lot of negatives too. Magnan going down
- 13:47Speaker 2: with yet another injury for what was that about?
- 13:51Speaker 1: Like I don't know, apparently wasn't there like zero shots
- 13:55Speaker 1: on net too? For for Bologna, Like, yeah.
- 13:58Speaker 2: It was like very few and far betwe he didn't
- 14:00Speaker 2: have to like save us like he typically does, but
- 14:04Speaker 2: I think I don't know, it was just like one
- 14:06Speaker 2: of those things. And it's funny because it's it's, you know,
- 14:08Speaker 2: playing on Sunday two forty five, you have like NFL
- 14:11Speaker 2: football if you're a football fan, and then culture on
- 14:14Speaker 2: another screen, so you're kind of like overstimulated. And then
- 14:17Speaker 2: I look down and I see, you know, Mania is
- 14:19Speaker 2: down with an injury, and well, I don't know, he's
- 14:22Speaker 2: probably gonna be out for a LEAs next week we'll
- 14:25Speaker 2: see for them that I had heard he left Sansio
- 14:29Speaker 2: on crutches, so we'll see how much of an impact
- 14:32Speaker 2: it is. I think it is his calf, if I'm
- 14:33Speaker 2: not mistaken from what I was reading and hearing. But
- 14:37Speaker 2: it's another typical injury for Manya, which is kind of
- 14:39Speaker 2: annoying because he's such a great keeper for us post
- 14:43Speaker 2: on a Rouma, and he saved us a lot, but
- 14:45Speaker 2: he's also heard us a lot in these in these
- 14:47Speaker 2: moments where he's kind of looked not himself and then
- 14:50Speaker 2: these injuries that you kind of can book it. Every
- 14:53Speaker 2: year he's kind of had a had an injury pretty much.
- 14:56Speaker 2: I think every year since he's joined us for an
- 14:58Speaker 2: extended period of time, so so that's a bit of
- 15:00Speaker 2: a downer. Hoping it is nothing as serious as in
- 15:05Speaker 2: the past. So we'll see from there. But I think
- 15:09Speaker 2: the star of the show obviously was Modeste matter of
- 15:11Speaker 2: the match, just forty years old, still producing, getting ninety
- 15:15Speaker 2: minutes in once again. He doesn't seem to be slowing down,
- 15:18Speaker 2: which I'm excited. I just hope they don't overuse him.
- 15:21Speaker 2: But he needs to be uh, he needs to be
- 15:24Speaker 2: the engine I think somewhat for this for this Meuan
- 15:28Speaker 2: team and kind of putting guys. Obviously, he's not the
- 15:31Speaker 2: same character as as a lot done, like When's Latan
- 15:33Speaker 2: came at forty and kind of put everybody in place
- 15:35Speaker 2: and you know, ultimately they won the school getto But
- 15:38Speaker 2: he wants to win. He wants to win trophies. He
- 15:41Speaker 2: said it many times, you know, when in the media
- 15:46Speaker 2: and just you know, on the social media post and stuff.
- 15:48Speaker 2: They celebrated his fortieth birthday at at Milanello and you know,
- 15:52Speaker 2: everybody was in good spirits and you know, one thing
- 15:55Speaker 2: one birthday wish you want is to win trophies with Milan.
- 15:58Speaker 2: So hopefully that comes to to be at the end
- 16:01Speaker 2: of the season, but for now it's it's it's another win.
- 16:05Speaker 2: Like you said, Johnny, I do agree. It's they're not
- 16:07Speaker 2: coming easy, but they are coming. It's uh, six points
- 16:11Speaker 2: out of a possible nine. I think seeing the opposition
- 16:15Speaker 2: that we face, I think it should have been a
- 16:17Speaker 2: nine out of nine. But you know, we'll take the
- 16:18Speaker 2: six and I think curly what we said in fifth spots.
- 16:21Speaker 2: So that's the positive. I think the negative obviously of
- 16:25Speaker 2: the game that especially near the end, was was was
- 16:29Speaker 2: the refereeing decisions. And before that, I would just say
- 16:32Speaker 2: a touch upon Santimenez, which I don't know. He's a player,
- 16:38Speaker 2: he's a player that intrigues me. He's a player that
- 16:40Speaker 2: I want him to do well. I just don't know
- 16:42Speaker 2: if he's going to get it going. It seems to
- 16:45Speaker 2: be that he can't find the back of an end. For
- 16:47Speaker 2: for mel it's a bit worrisome. He's he looks a
- 16:51Speaker 2: bit fragile mentally, which I'm hoping it's not, but I
- 16:54Speaker 2: think the tools are there. It's it's more upstairs, you
- 16:56Speaker 2: know mentally for him that you know, he he doesn't
- 16:58Speaker 2: have the confidence. It seems like can as a striker.
- 17:01Speaker 2: You know, that's that's half the battle, right Jenny, And
- 17:03Speaker 2: it's you know, you can have the talent, but it's
- 17:06Speaker 2: the mental aspect of the game is I think it's
- 17:07Speaker 2: always the not only in culture, but in all sports.
- 17:10Speaker 2: As as you know has been an avid you know
- 17:12Speaker 2: fan of sports. You know, it's it's half the battle, right,
- 17:15Speaker 2: the mental part of the game. So yeah, hopefully for him,
- 17:18Speaker 2: I think he can hopefully get onto the right page
- 17:20Speaker 2: and kind of maybe block out the noise and listen.
- 17:24Speaker 2: He's kind of our only option, true number nine, like
- 17:26Speaker 2: I've said in past episode, So I'm hoping he gets
- 17:30Speaker 2: it together and scores like he scores for Mexico. So
- 17:34Speaker 2: that's one thing. But the end of the Shenani is
- 17:37Speaker 2: at the end of the game. We saw another debut
- 17:40Speaker 2: for in kun Ku came on wad on into the
- 17:44Speaker 2: game I think eighty fifth minute or so, instant impact.
- 17:47Speaker 2: It looks like he was gonna score right away. Uh
- 17:51Speaker 2: call the penalty uh later overturned by var in a
- 17:56Speaker 2: in a in a scenario where again people listen to
- 18:00Speaker 2: this are probably gonna say listen, uh, your your your
- 18:03Speaker 2: meal and biases on this and that but taking it
- 18:06Speaker 2: taking that aside, I really don't, don't. I really think
- 18:09Speaker 2: they got it wrong. I hate to always be uh
- 18:13Speaker 2: or sorry. I hate to be, you know, one arguing
- 18:15Speaker 2: and complaining about the rest. But you know this, this, this, uh,
- 18:20Speaker 2: this incident at the end of the game, I think
- 18:21Speaker 2: was what was clear. I think in Cuckoo got fouled
- 18:24Speaker 2: twice in the box in that same action he got fouled,
- 18:28Speaker 2: uh contact, I think armed behind the bag by Lukumi.
- 18:33Speaker 2: He goes down, he kind of still tries to to
- 18:35Speaker 2: get the play going and gets taken down by think Freuler.
- 18:38Speaker 2: I mean it was just a swappy action, I guess
- 18:41Speaker 2: you can say. But in my eyes and in all
- 18:44Speaker 2: of people's eyes that that I was seeing, it was
- 18:46Speaker 2: a penalty one hundred percent, and they call it a
- 18:48Speaker 2: penalty the oda var he goes to check it, they
- 18:51Speaker 2: overturn it. It was just for me. Comedy of arrs
- 18:55Speaker 2: at the end. And then obviously Max Celegrit get sent
- 18:58Speaker 2: off with his typical mad Man reaction jacket off. For
- 19:02Speaker 2: any mean Line fans or even Juventini, obviously they know
- 19:06Speaker 2: that when the jacket comes off, uh, you know, mad
- 19:08Speaker 2: Max comes out, So it's unfortunate because I don't know
- 19:12Speaker 2: what he said and obviously he can't act the way
- 19:14Speaker 2: he did. But so he gets the red card and
- 19:17Speaker 2: you know, hopefully it's it's it's just a game, because
- 19:19Speaker 2: I want to see him on the pitch against Quante
- 19:21Speaker 2: for for the game against not paying a couple of weeks.
- 19:24Speaker 2: So yeah, just and then after you know the ai
- 19:29Speaker 2: A uh for for for referee and all the decisions
- 19:32Speaker 2: and all that come out and say they're you know
- 19:35Speaker 2: there there there was that miscall and you know, the
- 19:37Speaker 2: the the referees are going to get a bit of
- 19:40Speaker 2: a band. But that's the problem I found with with Setia.
- 19:43Speaker 2: I mean, it's just a slap on the risk for
- 19:44Speaker 2: for these guys. These guys can go make errors like that.
- 19:48Speaker 2: Ultimately it didn't cost them the game, fine, but and
- 19:51Speaker 2: Meon did end up coming up with a win. But still,
- 19:54Speaker 2: I mean it's moments like these where you kind of
- 19:57Speaker 2: just shake your head. But anyways, Melan, like you said, Johnny,
- 19:59Speaker 2: another win, uh typical Max Lagree way the one nothing
- 20:04Speaker 2: we move on to. I think it's before not so
- 20:07Speaker 2: it's two tough games because there it's two teams that
- 20:10Speaker 2: are in good form and at the top of the table.
- 20:13Speaker 2: So I'm hopeful for for those two matches. But it
- 20:17Speaker 2: was good to get another winning Uh to see lucamages.
- 20:20Speaker 2: Uh still the show.
- 20:21Speaker 1: Yeah, completely correct. Next game will be against Yeah, just
- 20:26Speaker 1: to just to add more to your points, Bologna did
- 20:30Speaker 1: have sixty one percent procession but only point seventeen expected goals.
- 20:34Speaker 1: Like they had the ball, but they weren't doing anything.
- 20:36Speaker 1: And I guess it seems like Bologna, who in the
- 20:38Speaker 1: past couple of seasons have been like such a sneaky
- 20:41Speaker 1: good team. They're not obviously world beaters, but they're not
- 20:44Speaker 1: a horrible team either. Your team ship to always takes
- 20:46Speaker 1: seriously no matter what. That's that that bolds well for Melan. Uh.
- 20:50Speaker 1: It just sucks that Magnan it might be out for
- 20:52Speaker 1: a bit because I also have n't had the couch.
- 20:54Speaker 1: Oh my god, I have to use multipot for a bit.
- 20:58Speaker 1: That's that's not something I really uh look forward to
- 21:01Speaker 1: use it. Yeah, but you know what, it still counted
- 21:03Speaker 1: a clean sheet for me. That's fine, but yeah, still
- 21:08Speaker 1: very good win.
- 21:09Speaker 2: Uh.
- 21:09Speaker 1: It helps Milan kind of like climb up the ladder
- 21:12Speaker 1: a bit during fifth right now.
- 21:15Speaker 2: Looking at points six I believe.
- 21:17Speaker 1: Right, yeah, with Roma, but they have the differential that
- 21:21Speaker 1: helps him by one goal, so yeah, I mean that's
- 21:24Speaker 1: that's probably gonna be accruing slowly, slowly, but yeah, so
- 21:30Speaker 1: there's that. Moving on to Anapoly Fidentina a nice three
- 21:33Speaker 1: and win Fornopoly. Speaking of old midfielders and he's not
- 21:35Speaker 1: even old, but the bruiner uh scoring a pen for
- 21:39Speaker 1: Anapoli which was very big. It was just all offense,
- 21:42Speaker 1: like Rasmond Hoylan being in like the recent pickup scoring
- 21:45Speaker 1: Fornopoli is very nice. It's it's just it. And then
- 21:50Speaker 1: Bukima finally got a post that yeah, scores as well.
- 21:55Speaker 1: So it just seems like all the new acquisitions from
- 21:58Speaker 1: the summer transfer window have scored for them, which is
- 22:01Speaker 1: very huge. Uh, it's something that you want to see.
- 22:04Speaker 1: It's like it's the dividends that you paid for paying off.
- 22:06Speaker 1: So it's nice. Uh. It shows that they have the
- 22:10Speaker 1: ability to have success anywhere on the pitch, which is
- 22:15Speaker 1: very key, especially if youre gonna be playing in three different,
- 22:17Speaker 1: three big competitions this year, right, Like you you want
- 22:20Speaker 1: to make sure that you're able to, you know, have
- 22:25Speaker 1: diversity when.
- 22:26Speaker 2: It comes to they're and they're producing, right, if it
- 22:29Speaker 2: be a goal, if it be assists, if it's just
- 22:30Speaker 2: being present on the pitch like their bench like we've
- 22:33Speaker 2: mentioned in the Pasogenny, it's there. I think this season,
- 22:36Speaker 2: I think they've done good business in the Merkato like
- 22:38Speaker 2: we've spoken about. Then if it be producing goals or
- 22:42Speaker 2: assists like I said, or just you know, maybe that
- 22:45Speaker 2: second assist like that hockey assist or what have you,
- 22:48Speaker 2: I think it's it's been key. Like like you said,
- 22:51Speaker 2: Hoylan comes in, it seems like he's in good form,
- 22:55Speaker 2: even though at United it looked like a bit of
- 22:57Speaker 2: a mess of a situation. He comes back to Sadiai
- 23:00Speaker 2: and scores on his debut Hell of a Ball by Spinazol.
- 23:03Speaker 2: I think it was right that.
- 23:04Speaker 1: Yeah, it was a phenomenal game in general.
- 23:07Speaker 2: Yeah, so listen, it's actually it pays dividends, and I
- 23:10Speaker 2: think you know the good business you can you can do.
- 23:13Speaker 2: You can spend a lot in the Melkato and bring
- 23:15Speaker 2: in a lot of pieces, because they have. I think
- 23:17Speaker 2: it's been like what eight nine ten pieces that they
- 23:19Speaker 2: brought in in total, or maybe not ten, but maybe
- 23:23Speaker 2: about eight whatever. It is and they've all so far
- 23:28Speaker 2: for the most part, I think I don't know about
- 23:32Speaker 2: the wing back or the defender. I don't know too
- 23:35Speaker 2: much about him yet. But for the most part, you know,
- 23:38Speaker 2: everybody's kind of been chipping, and even Vanya, right, Like,
- 23:40Speaker 2: Vanya comes in for this match. You know, Sambukema comes
- 23:45Speaker 2: comes in and for this match, and you see a
- 23:47Speaker 2: bit of a different rotation, and you know Conte's U
- 23:49Speaker 2: Contes's choices paid off. So I think it's just a
- 23:52Speaker 2: positive not only that you did smart business in the Medkato,
- 23:55Speaker 2: but that smart business financially also pays is paying dividends
- 24:00Speaker 2: on the pitch with the performances as well. So it's
- 24:02Speaker 2: a big bus.
- 24:04Speaker 1: Yeah, And the acquisition of Hoylan was actually very big
- 24:07Speaker 1: because it kind of after seeing a few minutes of
- 24:09Speaker 1: Lenzo Luca, I feel like as if he needs just
- 24:10Speaker 1: to bit more time, but doesn't necessarily mean that he's
- 24:14Speaker 1: going to be bad. I just feel like it shows
- 24:15Speaker 1: that Conte made the right choice in getting let's say,
- 24:18Speaker 1: a more season striker with Lukaku being out versus putting
- 24:23Speaker 1: all the chips on the table for Lorenzo. Like I
- 24:26Speaker 1: think it's uh I don't think he was being able
- 24:29Speaker 1: to handle that, but it's okay. There's like I said,
- 24:31Speaker 1: contributions are going to come from all over the pitch,
- 24:33Speaker 1: which is very nice. Linkovich Savage just you know, being
- 24:36Speaker 1: a good acquisition in the sense of just his presence
- 24:38Speaker 1: is nice to see. It is a bit of an intimidation.
- 24:43Speaker 1: Not obviously we didn't have to do too much this game,
- 24:45Speaker 1: but it's still like he still has an effect on it.
- 24:49Speaker 1: So very big written for Napoli, especially that they're fighting
- 24:52Speaker 1: right now with Juventus for first of the table. They
- 24:55Speaker 1: have one goal more for the gold off Frenchial. We'll
- 24:57Speaker 1: get to Juve just a bit as we have Daniel
- 25:00Speaker 1: ready to come in, but just to wrap up the
- 25:03Speaker 1: rest of around the league before we get to the
- 25:05Speaker 1: highlight of the weekend of Juve inter uh Como Genoa
- 25:09Speaker 1: finishes one to one goal from Nico Pazi says if
- 25:12Speaker 1: by av Alvaro Marata playing like in his twentieth city team.
- 25:17Speaker 2: In the span of like how many seasons, Like yeah,
- 25:20Speaker 2: it's crazy, just just in like the past year and
- 25:23Speaker 2: a half, he's already on two so yeah, it's crazy.
- 25:26Speaker 1: Echo Band gets an assist there. Como sits in ninth.
- 25:29Speaker 1: After that, Genoa is sitting in fifteenth. We got Atlanta
- 25:34Speaker 1: with a four to one finish.
- 25:37Speaker 2: Let's see scored the two goals.
- 25:40Speaker 1: Yeah, Zilovski a Roma academy players, gets a goal and assists.
- 25:48Speaker 1: Kristovic gets gets two assists. Uh, there's some good, some
- 25:52Speaker 1: crazy stat that I saw that post Poli and pre Poli.
- 25:55Speaker 1: Thet was just has just been like on fire. Then
- 25:58Speaker 1: all of a sudden he plays in Poli's system just
- 26:00Speaker 1: credn succeed.
- 26:01Speaker 2: I don't know why. Yeah, I think I think just
- 26:03Speaker 2: the you say it, the I think the pressure I'll
- 26:09Speaker 2: say it again, but like the pressure at Atalanta compared
- 26:11Speaker 2: to Milan, I think is what. Really I don't know,
- 26:13Speaker 2: I think he was he still felt a bit fragile,
- 26:15Speaker 2: a bit wrong when he came to Milan and then
- 26:17Speaker 2: going to going to Atlanta. It was just I think
- 26:19Speaker 2: a bit of less pressure there was. He wasn't like
- 26:23Speaker 2: the big, you know, thirty five million dollar euro acquisition
- 26:27Speaker 2: who was poised to you know, produce right off the
- 26:30Speaker 2: bat and listen. Good for him, it's good to see
- 26:33Speaker 2: him do well, and you know, just another acquisition. I
- 26:35Speaker 2: think the two other guys who named Zeleski and and
- 26:38Speaker 2: uh Christovich. There two sneaky acquisitions by Atalanta for a
- 26:43Speaker 2: team that I know we we kind of didn't rate
- 26:46Speaker 2: highly in our preview show. And again I still think
- 26:49Speaker 2: they will struggle because I'm not high on youage, but
- 26:53Speaker 2: two sneaky acquisitions I think that that will that will
- 26:56Speaker 2: help them. It was also good to see I think
- 26:58Speaker 2: Scalvini get a go the young Italian friender after all
- 27:02Speaker 2: the injury trouble with him too and still being so
- 27:05Speaker 2: young and raw and and uh, you know, a young
- 27:07Speaker 2: Italian talent. I think it's it's it was good to
- 27:10Speaker 2: see and know it kind of looked like a bit
- 27:11Speaker 2: of a monkey off his back as well. So it
- 27:13Speaker 2: was very I want to pauseives for Atlanta this weekend.
- 27:16Speaker 1: Yeah, very big win for them for one against Lee's
- 27:19Speaker 1: goal game from need to be uh but and also
- 27:22Speaker 1: what's what's soon to come is apparently lookman is uh
- 27:27Speaker 1: is Looky is looking to start with the team. He
- 27:30Speaker 1: already got some practice time with the team. The's rumors
- 27:32Speaker 1: that he might join the first team again. We already
- 27:34Speaker 1: started already joined them for training sessions. So uh, lookman
- 27:38Speaker 1: given after that whole like transfer window saga, it seems like,
- 27:42Speaker 1: uh that both sides are gonna be like, Okay, well
- 27:44Speaker 1: why you're here, might as well get some plenty of time.
- 27:46Speaker 1: And I think him too, he sees the value and
- 27:48Speaker 1: still playing because he doesn't want to be transferred to
- 27:50Speaker 1: a new team and be out of form. So I
- 27:52Speaker 1: think it's a mutual mutual benefit, mutual benefit for both sides.
- 27:55Speaker 1: So Atlanta needing that win puts them up to seventh
- 27:58Speaker 1: with that, and le Jay is basically still a twentieth
- 28:02Speaker 1: place and fortunate for them. Another another result that in
- 28:07Speaker 1: my opinion was a little bit surprising was Sasolo won
- 28:09Speaker 1: zerover Slots. But we've always said that Saso is going
- 28:12Speaker 1: to be that team that just like you know, has
- 28:15Speaker 1: like those those those wins and those like thorn in
- 28:18Speaker 1: asides for like the Seven Sisters. It always seems that way.
- 28:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I totally agree. One nothing kind of a late goal.
- 28:25Speaker 2: I think a seventy year thought minute Fadeta, I think
- 28:27Speaker 2: it was seventy minutes, yeah, seventieth minute. Yeah. I think
- 28:31Speaker 2: Corny got minutes in that game too, which which was nice,
- 28:35Speaker 2: Like we said, we're fans of his and we're cheering
- 28:37Speaker 2: for him. But yeah, it just again, you know, I
- 28:42Speaker 2: don't want to say typical Watso, but it almost seems
- 28:44Speaker 2: to be typical Watso. And it's a bit frushing because
- 28:47Speaker 2: I think not a lot Sally, but I know a
- 28:50Speaker 2: lot of Sali friends are obviously frustrated with what the
- 28:52Speaker 2: types of performances. And then they walk and say, well,
- 28:54Speaker 2: you know, hands are tied in the medicato, couldn't spend,
- 28:57Speaker 2: couldn't really bolster get the squad. I still find on pay,
- 29:01Speaker 2: at least on paper, this team looks good. I think
- 29:05Speaker 2: they do have pieces. I think that their problem is
- 29:07Speaker 2: just putting it all together. This is Saudi two point zero.
- 29:12Speaker 2: I thought it would get I thought it would get
- 29:13Speaker 2: rolling a bit easier. It seems to be still some
- 29:17Speaker 2: you know, bumps in the road. So uh, we'll see
- 29:19Speaker 2: if they pick it up. But again typical, like you said,
- 29:22Speaker 2: uh as well kind of you know, the uh, the
- 29:26Speaker 2: robinhood of Sadi Alec. We always like to say, right,
- 29:29Speaker 2: h stealing, stealing from the rich and giving to the poor.
- 29:32Speaker 2: So it's good for them, good for gross, so good
- 29:35Speaker 2: for for Cone. But we'll see how much it continues.
- 29:38Speaker 1: They mean they didn't steal from sitting third right now.
- 29:42Speaker 2: So true, we'll see, we'll see when they match.
- 29:45Speaker 1: Up Latsio after that results sitting in twelfth place. I
- 29:49Speaker 1: don't think it's any time to like to look too
- 29:51Speaker 1: much into it.
- 29:52Speaker 2: It's still very early on season, still young.
- 29:55Speaker 1: Yeah, so I don't think it's anything to uh to
- 29:58Speaker 1: start pushing the red big red panic. But yet with
- 30:02Speaker 1: beating Pizza one zero go from Bravo, Uh, that makes
- 30:09Speaker 1: sit in fourth place right now at seven points, which
- 30:11Speaker 1: is very good for them.
- 30:13Speaker 2: What else it is? I gotta say, surprise, Yeah, but
- 30:16Speaker 2: you know what you get.
- 30:17Speaker 1: You get your results when you can.
- 30:19Speaker 2: Yeah, they stole one obviously into a couple of weeks ago,
- 30:21Speaker 2: right before the international break, and I think that helps.
- 30:25Speaker 2: I think that that kind of helps that that seven
- 30:27Speaker 2: points there, right, that's there was a big three points
- 30:29Speaker 2: that they stole at at Sanciero. But you know, listen,
- 30:34Speaker 2: I think it's a run at the coach. I don't
- 30:37Speaker 2: know how to pronounce his name, but win well, sneakily well.
- 30:41Speaker 2: And for a team like that, again, it's just always
- 30:44Speaker 2: that flirting with relegation, middle of the park type of
- 30:48Speaker 2: type of squad. It's it's it's encouraging to see them
- 30:51Speaker 2: so high on the table so early on, and you know,
- 30:53Speaker 2: sometimes you these teams need a good start so they
- 30:56Speaker 2: can kind of you know, fall where they fall come
- 30:59Speaker 2: the end of the season. So we'll see if it continues.
- 31:01Speaker 2: But you know, it's it's a you know, as a
- 31:06Speaker 2: sneaky good team. Right now, they're informed, so I think
- 31:09Speaker 2: teams around them that are playing them soon, like I
- 31:11Speaker 2: said New One earlier and other teams they should definitely
- 31:13Speaker 2: look out.
- 31:16Speaker 1: Then finally wrapping up before the Juve inter game, Uh,
- 31:20Speaker 1: and we bring on Luci to the show. Uh two
- 31:24Speaker 1: zero Caledy getting goals from Mina and Filici.
- 31:28Speaker 2: Uh.
- 31:29Speaker 1: You know what, they have their one one in fine
- 31:32Speaker 1: better than what they were doing a bit last year
- 31:34Speaker 1: at the start, sitting in the eighth place right now,
- 31:37Speaker 1: so good for them.
- 31:41Speaker 2: I think. Also the last thing I just wanted to
- 31:43Speaker 2: mention it is is obviously criminal. Is they just Jimmie
- 31:46Speaker 2: Vardy right getting the his uh his debut and said, yeah,
- 31:50Speaker 2: I know there was a I think it was a
- 31:51Speaker 2: no no draw against Verona if I'm not mistaken, right.
- 31:54Speaker 1: Yeah, they finished zero zero zero zeroso.
- 31:56Speaker 2: Nothing crazy in terms of obviously goals and totally talk about.
- 32:00Speaker 2: But the big obviously talking point was was, uh was
- 32:03Speaker 2: was Jimmy Vardy right signing for Cremonese debuting for Premonese
- 32:07Speaker 2: get in some minutes I think in the second half
- 32:10Speaker 2: from what I from what I saw, so uh, good
- 32:13Speaker 2: for him. It's just still crazy to think that he's
- 32:15Speaker 2: that he's in that he's in this league. But you know,
- 32:18Speaker 2: I think he he's eager and uh and willing to
- 32:22Speaker 2: uh to you know, to put in put in the minutes,
- 32:24Speaker 2: put in the shifts and and do good for for Cremonees.
- 32:27Speaker 2: So we'll see if how long they're kind of Cinderella start,
- 32:31Speaker 2: you know, last But I'm just excited to see uh
- 32:35Speaker 2: his first goal, his first celebration. You know, he's he's
- 32:39Speaker 2: won for the antics, right, Jimmy Vardi's He's he's kind
- 32:42Speaker 2: of like a cult hero. So uh, we'll see, uh,
- 32:44Speaker 2: we'll see all these types of things pan out, uh
- 32:46Speaker 2: you know, hopefully throughout the city as season when he's
- 32:49Speaker 2: on for for cremones And I saw his interview he
- 32:52Speaker 2: kind of and will kind of maybe segue eventually to
- 32:55Speaker 2: to the you inter talk debut Dalia, but uh, you know,
- 32:58Speaker 2: kind of he mentioned in his in his in his
- 33:01Speaker 2: press conference, you know, growing up again. I don't know
- 33:05Speaker 2: if he didn't use the word idol. I know a
- 33:06Speaker 2: lot of the pages you pages are saying idol, but
- 33:09Speaker 2: he kind of mentioned del Piero's name right his times
- 33:12Speaker 2: and said he as so seeing how how he was
- 33:16Speaker 2: such a great player in the league and kind of
- 33:18Speaker 2: caught his eye, you know, he kind of mentioned that.
- 33:20Speaker 2: So it was it was cool to see that that
- 33:22Speaker 2: he kind of I think, you know, in those in
- 33:25Speaker 2: those years, you know, I think it was kind of
- 33:27Speaker 2: hard to not have an eye on Setia with how
- 33:29Speaker 2: how good, great good the league was, you know, in
- 33:31Speaker 2: the you know, the the late nineties, early two thousands,
- 33:34Speaker 2: especially the early two thousands for kind of our generation,
- 33:37Speaker 2: if you will, you know, maybe even a bit more
- 33:39Speaker 2: before my time. But yeah, it was just cool to
- 33:43Speaker 2: see him him mentioned that, and uh, you know, we'll
- 33:46Speaker 2: we'll see how much he produces for Criminias, and we're
- 33:48Speaker 2: hopeful that he that he does.
- 33:51Speaker 1: I mean, you said it perfectly before. I wanted to
- 33:52Speaker 1: use it as a segue, but you're ruining it. But
- 33:55Speaker 1: Marty Varty said that, you know, he he enjoyed watching
- 33:59Speaker 1: del Piero a lot growing up, or you know, like
- 34:03Speaker 1: obviously in the nineties, and somebody who probably used to
- 34:06Speaker 1: enjoy watching Alessandro del Piero, Daniel Lucci, ladies and gentlemen
- 34:10Speaker 1: is in the house. Look look at it.
- 34:12Speaker 3: Look boys, what's going on? Long time? You'll see?
- 34:15Speaker 2: How's everything?
- 34:16Speaker 3: Can't complain?
- 34:17Speaker 2: Boys? All good?
- 34:20Speaker 3: That's it? Yeah, how could you not idolize del Piero
- 34:22Speaker 3: back in the day.
- 34:23Speaker 1: That's I'll be honest.
- 34:24Speaker 2: I love him.
- 34:25Speaker 1: I fucking love him. I even as I am able
- 34:29Speaker 1: to put my hatred for the club beside. Del Piero
- 34:31Speaker 1: was just you had to be crazy to not say
- 34:33Speaker 1: that del Pierro was just a phenomenal player.
- 34:35Speaker 3: Well, between del Piero Tati, how could you not like
- 34:37Speaker 3: love both of them, even though you know Tuti never
- 34:39Speaker 3: played for you respect the talent, of.
- 34:43Speaker 2: Course, it's it's goes types with bunette players, right. The
- 34:47Speaker 2: Piano's taught these, the Maldini's right, even the Zanetti's right.
- 34:50Speaker 2: Like right, these players were such cornerstones of not only
- 34:54Speaker 2: their clubs and legends of the clubs, but of the league.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Right and and just if you were a fan and
- 34:59Speaker 2: you were watching, you kind of just have to respect them.
- 35:02Speaker 2: They were class guys like they were, you know, a
- 35:04Speaker 2: step above, and you know, if you didn't respect them,
- 35:06Speaker 2: I think it's just kind of a big childish you know.
- 35:09Speaker 2: The Maldini's like I said, you know, the Piros, you know,
- 35:12Speaker 2: either taught these like the bod shows, Like nobody could
- 35:15Speaker 2: hate Budjo even though he played for every team. Right,
- 35:17Speaker 2: So it's it's these types of players that you kind
- 35:19Speaker 2: of you have no choice but to idolize.
- 35:21Speaker 1: Right, And it's and it's and it's funny that you
- 35:24Speaker 1: mentioned that because my as a kid, like obviously I
- 35:28Speaker 1: Roma was my first love. But my favorite player that
- 35:30Speaker 1: I actually tried to emulate because I played defense was
- 35:33Speaker 1: actually Alessandro Nesta, Yeah, and played for Lazzio. And actually
- 35:37Speaker 1: I had when he won to woke up in six.
- 35:39Speaker 1: My jersey was an Neessa jersey when they won. It
- 35:41Speaker 1: wasn't even about the jerseys. Yeah, I got it right before,
- 35:45Speaker 1: I got it right before they won. But still, like
- 35:46Speaker 1: it's like Nessa was the first player idolized because I
- 35:49Speaker 1: played defense and stuff. So like I.
- 35:51Speaker 2: Player Melin player, you never played for Roman, right, So
- 35:53Speaker 2: it's yeah, it's.
- 35:54Speaker 1: You have to respect he played for c but he
- 35:56Speaker 1: played for the Impact and did Yeah, so we could
- 35:59Speaker 1: get away with enjoy.
- 36:00Speaker 3: That makes it okay.
- 36:01Speaker 1: Yeah, but you know, all laughs, all good spirits. I mean,
- 36:07Speaker 1: then four to three win against Inter, like I was
- 36:11Speaker 1: telling Adri right as we started the show, like, even
- 36:13Speaker 1: as a casual, I think this was just an exciting game.
- 36:18Speaker 2: I was.
- 36:19Speaker 3: I think it was more enjoyable for the casuals because
- 36:22Speaker 3: I was every five minutes I was about to have
- 36:23Speaker 3: a stroke. It was one of the craziest games I've
- 36:26Speaker 3: ever seen. I mean the last year before four against
- 36:30Speaker 3: Inter was crazy too. Yeah, I don't know what happened
- 36:34Speaker 3: with with this Derby, Like it's it's gotten from you know.
- 36:38Speaker 3: You would sometimes see fights in the middle of the game.
- 36:40Speaker 3: Now you're seeing seven goals a game. It's absolutely insane.
- 36:44Speaker 3: But yeah, what I I'm not gonna lie. I lost
- 36:47Speaker 3: some faith there when they went down three to two,
- 36:48Speaker 3: and I'm like, I hopefully we could squeak out a draw.
- 36:51Speaker 3: They had a couple of chances. They made it. They
- 36:54Speaker 3: made it work. I don't know, man, they they surprised
- 36:57Speaker 3: even me. I'm not gonna lie to you.
- 36:59Speaker 2: I think and justly, I think you said it perfectly
- 37:02Speaker 2: right there. Just I think the casual final just was
- 37:04Speaker 2: able to just breathe a bit more, just not their
- 37:08Speaker 2: heart pumping, right, because when it's your team, it's just
- 37:10Speaker 2: a different vibe. But Lucha, I'll ask you. I know,
- 37:13Speaker 2: obviously we know the result, and you know how much
- 37:15Speaker 2: you know this. This this boats will obviously for Jove
- 37:17Speaker 2: and kind of puts a bit of a thorn on
- 37:19Speaker 2: on inter season season at a start, at least, what
- 37:24Speaker 2: was your expectations just before the match even just to say,
- 37:27Speaker 2: like obviously, like you know the four to three and
- 37:31Speaker 2: you mentioned obviously the four to four of of last
- 37:33Speaker 2: year was was was another crazy match. But what was
- 37:35Speaker 2: your expectation what were you anticipating maybe before the match
- 37:38Speaker 2: before obviously this this pandemonium happened.
- 37:41Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean maybe it was just me, but I
- 37:43Speaker 3: thought we weren't going to see anything like a fourth three.
- 37:45Speaker 3: I thought maybe a one one zero zero. I was
- 37:50Speaker 3: completely shocked. I didn't think we were going to allow
- 37:52Speaker 3: them to.
- 37:52Speaker 2: Uh.
- 37:53Speaker 3: We gave them a lot of space on all of
- 37:55Speaker 3: their goals. They charl and Oglu was wide open on
- 37:58Speaker 3: each of his goals. Even Tram you can't let him
- 38:01Speaker 3: have that that space to score his But yeah, I
- 38:04Speaker 3: was not expecting it. I did have my reservations about
- 38:08Speaker 3: Tudor going into this one. You know, we didn't have
- 38:11Speaker 3: really stiff competition like enter in the first two games,
- 38:15Speaker 3: and I was a little worried about how he was
- 38:17Speaker 3: going to handle the game, you know, the set up,
- 38:19Speaker 3: the subs. I even, honestly, I thought the subs came
- 38:21Speaker 3: a little late in this one as well. But they
- 38:24Speaker 3: did save his butt, so he should be happy. Credit
- 38:27Speaker 3: to him too. He stuck with it and somehow he
- 38:29Speaker 3: pulled it out. Sometimes you need some luck, as we
- 38:32Speaker 3: all know, that's what happens. So yeah, we'll take it
- 38:35Speaker 3: and hopefully tomorrow now Champions League, hopefully they keep the
- 38:40Speaker 3: momentum going. Hopefully it's a team boost as well. We
- 38:43Speaker 3: need some chemistry going. For sure.
- 38:46Speaker 1: I'm happy you kind of touched upon Tutor because one
- 38:48Speaker 1: of the questions that I had mine up was that,
- 38:51Speaker 1: you know, he replaced Mott at the end, not the
- 38:53Speaker 1: end like like towards the end of last season. You know,
- 38:56Speaker 1: a lot of a lot of a lot of people,
- 38:58Speaker 1: whether they were a Juventino or whether they're just like
- 39:00Speaker 1: a fad from the outside looking into like, Okay, maybe
- 39:03Speaker 1: this seems to be a temporary hiring. Yeah, but he
- 39:07Speaker 1: actually ends up staying for the team. The extend is contracted.
- 39:09Speaker 1: Wasn't just a filler. It was actually like, you know,
- 39:11Speaker 1: let's go has been going forward. I know, obviously right
- 39:14Speaker 1: now they're three and zero to start the season with
- 39:17Speaker 1: the nine points four goal differential. You know, like especially
- 39:22Speaker 1: like you know, they're they're very convincing wins in a sense,
- 39:25Speaker 1: you know, vlaovich Taga. He ends up staying and he
- 39:28Speaker 1: actually ends up being not a cancer for the team
- 39:30Speaker 1: for staying and stuff like was this something you fully
- 39:33Speaker 1: like that that you were expecting at the start of
- 39:35Speaker 1: the season, or this is obviously better than what you expected.
- 39:38Speaker 1: I mean, I think I already kind of loaded up
- 39:40Speaker 1: the answer, but.
- 39:40Speaker 3: Yeah, that's definitely better than I was expecting. And I
- 39:45Speaker 3: we all expected tour to be gone in the summer
- 39:48Speaker 3: after the Club World Cup. They you know, there was
- 39:50Speaker 3: talks with different coaches, different ideas, this that and whatever.
- 39:54Speaker 3: Obviously it didn't work. The one thing Tutor I will
- 39:58Speaker 3: give him credit for, He's Dea brought that sense of
- 40:02Speaker 3: you know, passion and winning and and you know, he
- 40:05Speaker 3: was a Juventini before he played with the team. He
- 40:07Speaker 3: knows what it's like to win and and all that stuff.
- 40:09Speaker 3: But that's something Matha didn't have at all. He did
- 40:12Speaker 3: not have that dressing room.
- 40:13Speaker 2: You know.
- 40:14Speaker 3: You know, these players are willing to die for each other.
- 40:16Speaker 3: By the looks of it, the way they started the season, Mata,
- 40:18Speaker 3: it looks like he had a lot of guys check
- 40:20Speaker 3: out on him. So he's brought the chemistry back. He's
- 40:23Speaker 3: brought They look a lot better fitness wise as well,
- 40:26Speaker 3: which will help with you know, three different competitions, lots
- 40:29Speaker 3: of games going on, multiple multiple games a week. I
- 40:34Speaker 3: am still concerned about his you know, tactical awareness, like
- 40:37Speaker 3: I mentioned about making subs a little late and his
- 40:40Speaker 3: starting lineups. We'll see how that plays out through the season. Again,
- 40:43Speaker 3: at the beginning of the year, I didn't expect you
- 40:45Speaker 3: to win, you know, finish first in CDII anyways, as
- 40:49Speaker 3: bad as it you know for me to say that.
- 40:50Speaker 3: But we still have some we still have some holes
- 40:53Speaker 3: we got to fill. But I think Tutor will have
- 40:56Speaker 3: the team, you know, doing the best they can and
- 40:59Speaker 3: you know, we might like in some areas, but the
- 41:01Speaker 3: way he's got them playing is at least they have
- 41:04Speaker 3: the fight, that the aggression, the desire to try to
- 41:06Speaker 3: come back and score some goals. You know they did
- 41:09Speaker 3: in that whole game against inter They didn't stop fighting.
- 41:11Speaker 3: So I will give him credit for that. I think
- 41:13Speaker 3: he's he's made a big difference there. Whether we'll see
- 41:17Speaker 3: what he does with some of the other the better
- 41:18Speaker 3: coaches that come along throughout the season.
- 41:21Speaker 2: Yeah, I agree, and not just try to butt in there.
- 41:24Speaker 2: But I remember, and you said it to open a
- 41:27Speaker 2: bit before Lucia. You know, it's kind of the you
- 41:30Speaker 2: guys then start off with the stiffest of competition. And
- 41:33Speaker 2: even though like Nick, you know, our Nick kind of
- 41:36Speaker 2: had mentioned that right like after the international break, like
- 41:38Speaker 2: the first true test, you know, even though we always
- 41:40Speaker 2: say there's no easy games, and said, yeah, you know,
- 41:42Speaker 2: the first two test was in there right in the dead.
- 41:44Speaker 2: So I think, you know, they passed the test. Obviously
- 41:47Speaker 2: it was by maybe the skin of their teeth. Man.
- 41:49Speaker 2: You know, they got that sixty five right, They just
- 41:52Speaker 2: passed the sixty one, right, they just passed. But at
- 41:55Speaker 2: the end of it, you know, you get away with
- 41:57Speaker 2: the three points, and I think that's that's what's massive.
- 41:59Speaker 2: But I know we kind of have a lot of
- 42:02Speaker 2: a lot of different questions, but I just wanted to
- 42:04Speaker 2: to ask you, uh, Dan, what's you know with all
- 42:09Speaker 2: the acquisitions that they've made as well, because I know,
- 42:13Speaker 2: maybe I don't know if it was the Metkato you
- 42:15Speaker 2: were looking for or not, but some of the acquisitions
- 42:18Speaker 2: that they've that they brought in, and I think just
- 42:21Speaker 2: getting back we mentioned this I think a couple of
- 42:23Speaker 2: weeks ago getting back Bremer Yah. I think Nick said
- 42:26Speaker 2: it was kind of like a new signing, if you will,
- 42:29Speaker 2: right in the back. What have what's been your kind
- 42:33Speaker 2: of your your take on maybe some of the new
- 42:35Speaker 2: faces and maybe just some of the old faces that
- 42:37Speaker 2: maybe have started off the season. Well, obviously the biggest
- 42:40Speaker 2: name for for US Canadian cultural fans is Jonathan David, right,
- 42:43Speaker 2: and you've a shirt. Were you excited about that or
- 42:46Speaker 2: was that something that you you kind of just look
- 42:48Speaker 2: past and say, okay, well it's another strike or another
- 42:50Speaker 2: another help in the offense. And I know our boys
- 42:53Speaker 2: at the forty Culture kind of got the interview him
- 42:55Speaker 2: as well. So what's been your take on obviously David
- 42:59Speaker 2: coming in and just the other acquisitions.
- 43:01Speaker 3: I like the David signing. I don't think he can
- 43:04Speaker 3: be the number nine himself. I think he needs someone
- 43:08Speaker 3: to play beside him. I think that will help him
- 43:10Speaker 3: a lot, a lot, because we see with Canada he
- 43:12Speaker 3: usually plays in a front two, if I'm not mistaken,
- 43:16Speaker 3: so I think he's He's not your prolific number nine
- 43:19Speaker 3: that's going to do all the work and score your goals.
- 43:20Speaker 3: He's going to do a lot of teamwork though, as
- 43:22Speaker 3: you can see already in the first couple of games,
- 43:24Speaker 3: a lot of link up plays with yield is and
- 43:26Speaker 3: contso and and you know Cambiasso or whoever else was around,
- 43:31Speaker 3: completely different than what Lalvich brings. So already we can
- 43:34Speaker 3: see a huge difference there. Yes, Valovich started against Inter.
- 43:38Speaker 3: I probably would have done that. Again, that was Tudor's call.
- 43:40Speaker 3: Maybe he wanted something a little different, but he he
- 43:44Speaker 3: didn't have a good game either against Inter. So what
- 43:46Speaker 3: I've seen from David so far I like. I like him.
- 43:49Speaker 3: Hopefully he gets a little more involved. We'll see. I'm
- 43:51Speaker 3: assuming he's going to start tomorrow against Dortmund in the
- 43:53Speaker 3: Champions League. I think that'll the more. Again, the more
- 43:57Speaker 3: he plays with with you know, new players, the more
- 44:00Speaker 3: you build that chemistry, how the tendencies of each other,
- 44:02Speaker 3: I think that'll help them a lot. But I'm looking
- 44:05Speaker 3: forward to see what he can bring Openda. I'm excited
- 44:08Speaker 3: to see what he can bring from right. Yeah, he
- 44:11Speaker 3: came on for about twenty minute, ten twenty minutes whatever
- 44:14Speaker 3: it was towards the end there. Didn't get to see
- 44:17Speaker 3: a lot of what he can do. Obviously, it was
- 44:19Speaker 3: a chaotic end, so you know, he wasn't he wasn't
- 44:22Speaker 3: fully involved, but he was there, so I'm assuming he'll
- 44:25Speaker 3: get some minutes tomorrow too. I'm excited for those two,
- 44:28Speaker 3: particularly Ziagova, the the guy they signed from Leal who
- 44:33Speaker 3: played with David for the past few years. That'll be
- 44:36Speaker 3: that'll be good too. I think that, you know, the
- 44:38Speaker 3: both of them have a bit of chemistry and and
- 44:40Speaker 3: know each other already, so that should help the team.
- 44:43Speaker 3: He looks win healthy, He looks like a good player
- 44:45Speaker 3: as well. I don't know him too much, but I
- 44:48Speaker 3: will say this, the attack is a lot better than
- 44:50Speaker 3: it was last year. It looks a lot more versatile.
- 44:53Speaker 3: You have different profiles on the players, whether that's on
- 44:56Speaker 3: the on the bench or starting. So I'm hoping that
- 44:59Speaker 3: will that will help us. We'll be able to stop
- 45:01Speaker 3: you know, two three goals a game.
- 45:03Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 45:03Speaker 3: We'll see how the defense holds up. That's still a
- 45:05Speaker 3: question mark. But uh, it's not how the Marcotte. It's
- 45:08Speaker 3: not how I thought that Marcato was going to go.
- 45:10Speaker 3: But Comole, Uh he made some some smirts from smart
- 45:15Speaker 3: and strong moves. I will give him credit. So hopefully
- 45:17Speaker 3: they pan out.
- 45:18Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, and I mean, uh, you said it well
- 45:22Speaker 1: before John to David usually plays in either a four
- 45:24Speaker 1: to four to two or sometimes they they they flex
- 45:27Speaker 1: around a bit, they kind of go for like the
- 45:29Speaker 1: on the fly, it could change to a three four
- 45:31Speaker 1: to three and Canada. So I think he does do
- 45:34Speaker 1: better when he has the secondary striker, second guy up
- 45:36Speaker 1: there to work with. And I mean Valovich sticking around
- 45:39Speaker 1: is actually a good thing for that. I feel like
- 45:41Speaker 1: as if you know, probably them two together would be strong.
- 45:44Speaker 1: I think this game, though they didn't try to go
- 45:46Speaker 1: to two men front, it was a three four to
- 45:50Speaker 1: two one. That's what I see over here.
- 45:51Speaker 3: Yes, yeah, that's usually what Tudor likes to play before one. Yeah,
- 45:55Speaker 3: whether he sticks with that now because now you've got Openda,
- 45:58Speaker 3: you got David and Vlaovich who can kind of play
- 46:00Speaker 3: that nine role. So if he wants to get two
- 46:02Speaker 3: of them on the pitch at a time, he might
- 46:04Speaker 3: switch to a three four one two with field is
- 46:06Speaker 3: behind them kind of thing.
- 46:08Speaker 2: But I like how they're all again just working from
- 46:10Speaker 2: that say, I like they're all different by those three
- 46:13Speaker 2: attacks that your name, they're all different profiles.
- 46:15Speaker 3: Right, one hundred percent like that as well.
- 46:17Speaker 2: Jonathan Davidovich and LUs O Penda there, they're all different profiles,
- 46:22Speaker 2: which I think can give different you know, different strong
- 46:26Speaker 2: suits points to the game.
- 46:28Speaker 3: Right, So I don't know who your opposition is, Yeah
- 46:31Speaker 3: you can, you can give petition line up, yep, exactly,
- 46:33Speaker 3: So I agree, Yeah, I'm interested to see how it
- 46:37Speaker 3: pans out. Again, still early in the season, so lots
- 46:40Speaker 3: of games left, lots of who knows, lots of injuries potentially,
- 46:43Speaker 3: you know, every team gets bit with that.
- 46:46Speaker 2: Exactly, and you have that those options right to come
- 46:48Speaker 2: up to the bench.
- 46:49Speaker 3: Which will help.
- 46:49Speaker 2: Right.
- 46:49Speaker 3: So I'm I'm I'm intrigued, I'm I'm optimistic. I guess
- 46:54Speaker 3: you could say, yeah.
- 46:55Speaker 1: Sure, and I mean, like from what I've noticed the
- 46:58Speaker 1: common trend is that game, as you said before, to
- 47:01Speaker 1: attest to what flexibility event this has like, it's always
- 47:05Speaker 1: like another player stepping up, whether it's Lavich, whether it's David.
- 47:09Speaker 1: But one player that I've noticed that has been super
- 47:11Speaker 1: constant for them this year. I mean, like I think
- 47:13Speaker 1: it was going to be part of discussion before. Keenan
- 47:15Speaker 1: yield is like like last year in thirty five apps,
- 47:19Speaker 1: he has seven goals for assists. This year in just
- 47:22Speaker 1: three appearances, already has one goal, three assists. He almost
- 47:24Speaker 1: ties Is this discount from last season? How good has
- 47:29Speaker 1: Yielda has been this year? This year?
- 47:30Speaker 3: Yeah, rejuve the first three games, he's looked looked like
- 47:34Speaker 3: another player, like he's on another planet. I'm hoping he
- 47:38Speaker 3: started off well and I'm hoping he can take that
- 47:40Speaker 3: next step onto, you know, being that dynamic game changer
- 47:44Speaker 3: that we desperately need. Obviously, last year was his first
- 47:48Speaker 3: full season in the league, so there's gonna be some
- 47:50Speaker 3: growing pains. There's gonna be some again, the whole situation
- 47:53Speaker 3: with Mata, maybe not using him properly or having the
- 47:56Speaker 3: best relationship, whatever the case may be. But I'm hoping
- 48:00Speaker 3: this year he takes that next step and it looks
- 48:01Speaker 3: like he's going to Hopefully he can stay consistent. I
- 48:04Speaker 3: know it's we talked about Champions League COPA Italia. Yeah,
- 48:08Speaker 3: there's a lot of games in there, so there's gonna
- 48:10Speaker 3: be a time where you know, you kind of you
- 48:12Speaker 3: fall off, you lose that, you know that that touch,
- 48:15Speaker 3: you're fatigued, it's it's gonna happen. So hopefully he gets
- 48:19Speaker 3: some rests here and there. He's gonna need it, but
- 48:21Speaker 3: we definitely need him.
- 48:22Speaker 2: So I also think. I also think because right now,
- 48:25Speaker 2: everywhere you turn, everybody's really I think, really I don't
- 48:29Speaker 2: want to be like a you know, uh saying like
- 48:32Speaker 2: in a negative way, but like you know, while he's
- 48:35Speaker 2: gonna want to hype right now, right I think I
- 48:37Speaker 2: think I think people should, you know, calm a bit down,
- 48:41Speaker 2: make you know, meague your expectations with him, because the
- 48:45Speaker 2: last thing this guy needs, being so young, is that,
- 48:47Speaker 2: like you said, Luci, he has a bad game, he
- 48:49Speaker 2: starts getting fatigued, he gets an injury, and now he's
- 48:52Speaker 2: not performing like he was, and and then everybody's gonna
- 48:55Speaker 2: rip him to shreds. Let the kid be Let him play,
- 48:58Speaker 2: Let him be free. You know, we see that one
- 49:00Speaker 2: with like a Nico pause, right, Like we like to
- 49:02Speaker 2: say in this league, you know, he's a lot of
- 49:04Speaker 2: people graze these types of players, but like, let's magic expectations.
- 49:07Speaker 2: Let let them, let them play. We know that, we
- 49:09Speaker 2: know they're talented. Let them go. Obviously, they get a
- 49:13Speaker 2: lot of coverage because they're so young in this league,
- 49:15Speaker 2: and you know, fans go, you know, crazy, very fast.
- 49:18Speaker 2: But that's the one thing I would say for for
- 49:21Speaker 2: a kid like ye know this because the talent is there, right, guys,
- 49:25Speaker 2: it's there. He has shown it so far. Let him continue,
- 49:30Speaker 2: let him grow because he's still he's still young, he
- 49:32Speaker 2: still has room to grow. And I don't think he's
- 49:34Speaker 2: a perfect player, but you know, with time, I think
- 49:37Speaker 2: he can. Listen, he's wearing the number ten for you
- 49:39Speaker 2: of it. We we opened this segment with Ado de Piano, right,
- 49:42Speaker 2: So that's a heavy shirt to wear, right is the
- 49:45Speaker 2: ten at JUV right. A lot of a lot of
- 49:48Speaker 2: legends have won that shirt, you know in recent times.
- 49:50Speaker 2: Obviously the piano. So what the kid, what the kid
- 49:54Speaker 2: do what he has to do. Let them play. But
- 49:56Speaker 2: I think another player that has kind of been an
- 50:00Speaker 2: engine and and obviously this this Derby was it could
- 50:03Speaker 2: have been instead of Derby Dally, it could have been
- 50:05Speaker 2: there right, it was, it was, it was the right.
- 50:10Speaker 2: It was the Turam show right with with both Marcus
- 50:13Speaker 2: and Kevin scoring another staple for you guys. I think
- 50:17Speaker 2: has been a Turam just looking from the outside end,
- 50:19Speaker 2: he's kind of been uh, I don't know, maybe one
- 50:23Speaker 2: of those midfielders that I think Juventini had been crying
- 50:25Speaker 2: for for a long time, that that they've needed for
- 50:28Speaker 2: so long post uh, you know, pure wal Marquiso era, right,
- 50:33Speaker 2: but obviously what have you made of I guess Kevin
- 50:37Speaker 2: Turam and just just matching his brother. It was just
- 50:41Speaker 2: a great moment. Obviously the ref cam. I don't know
- 50:44Speaker 2: why they introduced this that famous that that photo with
- 50:47Speaker 2: both of them looking Metz meds a loss like it was.
- 50:51Speaker 2: It was just funny, man. But it will it's gonna
- 50:56Speaker 2: be probably the cover of this of this episode, so
- 50:59Speaker 2: we have to we'll probably have to include it. But uh, yeah,
- 51:02Speaker 2: what if you made obviously also of of Touram and
- 51:05Speaker 2: just the just I guess maybe we can go around table.
- 51:08Speaker 2: But just the impact by both of these guys in
- 51:10Speaker 2: this debut. Was was was huge.
- 51:12Speaker 1: My bad, that's not the photo I wanted. Let me
- 51:16Speaker 1: just stop presenting.
- 51:17Speaker 2: That, Johnny love letter. What is that? No?
- 51:20Speaker 1: All right, sorry about the little mishap. What happened was
- 51:24Speaker 1: I thought I saved the photo when I clicked on
- 51:26Speaker 1: the file and actually ended up being the letter of
- 51:29Speaker 1: explanation of a gap of my graduation degree for Ontarios.
- 51:33Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it was a love Johnny. It was a
- 51:35Speaker 2: love letter.
- 51:35Speaker 1: It's okay, only it was a fucking love letter, because
- 51:39Speaker 1: you'd be like, what was there? What was there a
- 51:40Speaker 1: gap in your education degree? And I thought because I
- 51:42Speaker 1: swapped programs halfway through and the extra.
- 51:45Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, yeah, yeah, I love letter, love letter.
- 51:46Speaker 1: Okay, anyways, but now we managed to find the photo
- 51:52Speaker 1: of the third brothers on the ref.
- 51:53Speaker 2: Cap amazing photo.
- 51:56Speaker 1: I think this is like, honestly, it's gonna be forever
- 51:58Speaker 1: a legendary photo.
- 52:00Speaker 2: Eyes, I mean, for for life.
- 52:02Speaker 1: You mean you got the famous photos of like what
- 52:05Speaker 1: was the madarazzi and Catuzzo just looking at the flares.
- 52:10Speaker 2: No, that was that was the that was No, that's right,
- 52:15Speaker 2: that was Costa.
- 52:18Speaker 1: Sorry, Yeah, you got the you got the argument between
- 52:22Speaker 1: I think it was it was was it Adriano and
- 52:25Speaker 1: one of the big players. It was that that that
- 52:27Speaker 1: incident where there was supposed to be that slight tackle
- 52:29Speaker 1: the repted and call it, but he called it the
- 52:30Speaker 1: other way. And now you have the third brothers just
- 52:35Speaker 1: like what's going on?
- 52:37Speaker 2: Like like what the fu? You know what the fun face?
- 52:40Speaker 3: It's that's exactly what it is.
- 52:42Speaker 1: No, but honestly speaking, if the father is Lilian right
- 52:45Speaker 1: there An yeah, yeah, Like it's if you're the pops,
- 52:51Speaker 1: like you have both your sons scoring a goal in
- 52:53Speaker 1: this matchup, you get you get a moment like this,
- 52:55Speaker 1: like how proud can you be of a dad in
- 52:57Speaker 1: this situation?
- 52:58Speaker 3: I mean, how could you not be? And these probably
- 53:00Speaker 3: he even ended the game happier because you won and
- 53:02Speaker 3: he was he played for you. Yeah, I know, he
- 53:05Speaker 3: was the team he wanted to win one for sure.
- 53:08Speaker 1: I mean, let's let let's take it easy. He's he's
- 53:10Speaker 1: part of my first I'm just kidding.
- 53:14Speaker 3: But yeah, Kefrin ever since he joined last summer, yeah,
- 53:18Speaker 3: I guess two years. Yeah, it's been his second year
- 53:21Speaker 3: with you. He's he's been a great player and he's
- 53:23Speaker 3: continuing to get better. Still young as well, but he's
- 53:26Speaker 3: a he's an absolute union in that midfield, so I
- 53:29Speaker 3: think he's gonna continue to get better. He finally got
- 53:31Speaker 3: his first France call up a couple of weeks ago
- 53:33Speaker 3: or a couple of months ago, whatever it was. I
- 53:37Speaker 3: like him better than his brother obviously, so I'm gonna
- 53:40Speaker 3: stick with my boy for sure. No, he's he's great man.
- 53:43Speaker 3: He's the way he the way he moves, great defensively,
- 53:46Speaker 3: scores the odd goal. He's trying to try to get
- 53:49Speaker 3: him off the ball. It's like moving a tank. Yeah,
- 53:52Speaker 3: he's a great player, no doubt.
- 53:53Speaker 2: He's all over the place. You can contract, like you said,
- 53:56Speaker 2: just a bounce off your point, Louci. You can contribute
- 53:58Speaker 2: on on on all on all fronts like he pulled
- 54:01Speaker 2: he like like literally both goals by both were almost
- 54:04Speaker 2: like the same type of goal also right, like kind
- 54:07Speaker 2: of an inswinger in header. Uh. It was almost like
- 54:11Speaker 2: you know, dev It's like you know you saw like
- 54:15Speaker 2: to score and it was like wait what you want
- 54:17Speaker 2: and it was literally the same goal. So no, listen,
- 54:20Speaker 2: I think as a as again as an outsider, like
- 54:23Speaker 2: looking at a guy like Kevin Turam for you of it.
- 54:25Speaker 2: It's been he's been. Ah, he's been a you know,
- 54:28Speaker 2: a key cog in that in that midfield. So I think,
- 54:32Speaker 2: you know, I still don't understand how local Telly wears
- 54:35Speaker 2: the arm bound for you guys, but you guys, uh,
- 54:38Speaker 2: you know, it's uh he's he add that that midfield
- 54:41Speaker 2: mix that I think, uh, you know, games are one
- 54:44Speaker 2: of lost in the midfield, like I usually have to say,
- 54:46Speaker 2: So him being there, I think is is is obviously
- 54:50Speaker 2: a plus for for you that I would say, Yeah,
- 54:52Speaker 2: I agree.
- 54:53Speaker 1: So you guys starting three and oh to start the season,
- 54:56Speaker 1: which is very big because there's a lot of question
- 54:59Speaker 1: marks in things up in the air, you know. And
- 55:01Speaker 1: I one thing that you alluded to was before earlier
- 55:04Speaker 1: was Conte possibly maybe making the jump over from Napoly
- 55:07Speaker 1: to Juve because he is a Juventino at hard Content. No,
- 55:10Speaker 1: this is no secret. Everybody knows this. And but ADL
- 55:13Speaker 1: managed to throw enough money to front to stay. So
- 55:15Speaker 1: you guys going forward for champions like, okay, let's stick
- 55:17Speaker 1: with Tutor. And speaking of which tomorrow is going, he
- 55:20Speaker 1: said it is tomorrow, right.
- 55:21Speaker 2: I'm yep, stupid.
- 55:22Speaker 3: They had this long Tuesday.
- 55:23Speaker 1: Yeah, It's true. It's Monday today, always sad because on Wednesdays.
- 55:27Speaker 2: That's why.
- 55:28Speaker 1: Uh yeah, Tudors managing his first game. I think I
- 55:31Speaker 1: read somewhere since like twenty twenty two in Champions League
- 55:35Speaker 1: against Borisia Dorman, which you guys haven't played against them
- 55:38Speaker 1: since twenty fifteen in Champions League or.
- 55:39Speaker 3: Something that probably something like that.
- 55:41Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, How confident are you going into this matchup
- 55:46Speaker 1: right now? Or like what are your what are the
- 55:48Speaker 1: vibes for? Like looking into this right now?
- 55:51Speaker 3: See, I want to be confident, but this team has
- 55:53Speaker 3: let me down far too many times for me to
- 55:55Speaker 3: be overly optimistic. You know what I mean, because exactly
- 55:59Speaker 3: times last year where they'll go in play a great
- 56:01Speaker 3: city a game and then go lay an Egg in
- 56:03Speaker 3: the Champions League. So I'm hoping that doesn't happen tomorrow.
- 56:07Speaker 3: Dortmund is a good team. I just I was just reading.
- 56:10Speaker 3: Their injury list is like ten players long, so there're
- 56:12Speaker 3: mission is a lot of players and some good ones.
- 56:16Speaker 3: Emery Chan I think Julian Brandt is hurt, and there's
- 56:19Speaker 3: a few other ones in there, not as well known
- 56:22Speaker 3: as as the two, but I would they're at home
- 56:26Speaker 3: Juba's at home. Yeah, I would expect us to, you know,
- 56:29Speaker 3: if we place even just half the way. With the
- 56:33Speaker 3: fight and the desire we did against Inter, I think
- 56:36Speaker 3: we can put one or two behind, you know, in
- 56:38Speaker 3: the net. And again my concern is keeping it out. Uh.
- 56:42Speaker 3: You know, we look shaky at times in the back,
- 56:44Speaker 3: like I mentioned against led the three against Inter. Yet okay,
- 56:47Speaker 3: you still won the game. But three is too many?
- 56:50Speaker 3: Are too many? Too much time and space on the
- 56:53Speaker 3: goals that they allowed, especially outside the box for for
- 56:57Speaker 3: challon Ogu to hit those those those goals. So I
- 57:01Speaker 3: want to say they win, I really do, but I'm
- 57:04Speaker 3: a little nervous, you know, I could I could see
- 57:06Speaker 3: a draw. I wouldn't be surprised if they draw. I
- 57:10Speaker 3: don't think they they're gonna lose tomorrow. I think they
- 57:12Speaker 3: have a good enough team where they should be able
- 57:14Speaker 3: to beat Dortmund. And I believe historically we have done
- 57:17Speaker 3: pretty well against Dortmund. So I'm optimistic. Can Biasso's back
- 57:21Speaker 3: tomorrow as well because he's not suspended for Champions League,
- 57:24Speaker 3: so that'll be a good help as well. And you know,
- 57:28Speaker 3: like like you mentioned, Adria Bremer has been a beast
- 57:31Speaker 3: and it's like he hasn't even missed a full year
- 57:33Speaker 3: after tearing his a cl That guy's just a great player.
- 57:37Speaker 3: So hopefully he continues that. Although I don't expect him
- 57:40Speaker 3: to play every game, you can't expect someone who's been
- 57:42Speaker 3: out a full year to uh to H to play
- 57:45Speaker 3: all these matches back to back to back. So he's
- 57:47Speaker 3: gonna have to rest at some point. But keep them,
- 57:49Speaker 3: keep keep them coming, you know, for the time being,
- 57:51Speaker 3: until until you can afford to give him a rest.
- 57:53Speaker 3: So yeah, we'll see how tomorrow goes. I'm optimistic. I
- 57:57Speaker 3: don't want to be too optimistic, just in case I
- 57:59Speaker 3: want to myself.
- 58:00Speaker 2: Right there you go. Yeah, no, I I get you.
- 58:03Speaker 2: You said you mentioned kind of like shaky in the
- 58:05Speaker 2: back and do you Yeah, I saw some mixed reviews
- 58:10Speaker 2: on Onio. Sorry, still confident in him? Or is this
- 58:17Speaker 2: just you know, just one of these things that listen
- 58:19Speaker 2: you you had in three goals, it was just one
- 58:21Speaker 2: of those games it was about it was going to
- 58:23Speaker 2: be a crazy game, and or you know, because I
- 58:26Speaker 2: think he's been good, but I think he's had some
- 58:27Speaker 2: of his moments, his blunders as well, Like what do
- 58:29Speaker 2: you make of him?
- 58:30Speaker 3: I can't blame him, really, I don't think I can
- 58:32Speaker 3: blame him for any of the three. Like I mentioned,
- 58:34Speaker 3: you give Hackn with the shot, he has that too
- 58:37Speaker 3: much space outside the box. He's gonna he's gonna put
- 58:39Speaker 3: it on net. Whether DiGregorio saw it late, maybe didn't
- 58:43Speaker 3: see it at all. There's a lot of bodies in
- 58:45Speaker 3: the way. Hell of a hit on both of them.
- 58:48Speaker 3: Again to Rams getting a header at the penalty spot
- 58:51Speaker 3: wide free header, I'm putting it more on just defensive
- 58:55Speaker 3: lapses and and just too much time in space. I
- 58:58Speaker 3: have no concerns with Digego. I still think he's probably
- 59:01Speaker 3: maybe he should be on Italy. I personally think he
- 59:04Speaker 3: should be you know, two or three on Italy ahead
- 59:06Speaker 3: of some of the guys that are there. But you know,
- 59:09Speaker 3: that's just my opinion and I can't. Yeah, he hasn't
- 59:13Speaker 3: cost you may any points, any goals that he's you know,
- 59:16Speaker 3: blatantly should have had where you know before him tech
- 59:20Speaker 3: Chesney there, I would say, there's there was a few
- 59:22Speaker 3: games where he looked like he was just lost. So
- 59:25Speaker 3: no concerns with the goalkeeper. I have a little concern
- 59:28Speaker 3: with with with Gatti at times, with Kelly at other
- 59:33Speaker 3: times local tality. As much as I love him, I
- 59:37Speaker 3: don't know if he's going to be able to handle,
- 59:39Speaker 3: you know, playing all these games, all the competition. You
- 59:42Speaker 3: know he's gonna have to get some rest too. But
- 59:45Speaker 3: a great warrior, but tutor has to, I think clean
- 59:48Speaker 3: up some of the defensive areas if we're gonna, if
- 59:51Speaker 3: we're gonna make any progress in the Champions League.
- 59:54Speaker 2: I think even just in general, I think for all competitions,
- 59:57Speaker 2: I think, yeah, absolutely, defense is like the midfield, the
- 1:00:01Speaker 2: thing is another key point.
- 1:00:04Speaker 1: Yeah, I think, uh no, it's okay. I think it's
- 1:00:07Speaker 1: going to be a very interesting match to watch. People
- 1:00:10Speaker 1: want to watch on TV if they have to Latino.
- 1:00:12Speaker 1: If you're a Canadian, you can watch it there or not.
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: The zone right zone, the zone has it apparently even
- 1:00:20Speaker 1: like Paramount Plus has it too. I mean for the Americans,
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: I believe for the Americans, yeah, yeah, they can get
- 1:00:25Speaker 1: it there too, So don't have options. We'll all have
- 1:00:28Speaker 1: options to watch. It should be an exciting game. But Luci,
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: we thank you so much for coming on.
- 1:00:33Speaker 2: Uh where I had a couple of yeah, a couple more,
- 1:00:38Speaker 2: sorry because I was done. I was ready I had, Well,
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: it's kind of like the same type of question, but
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: just before we wrap up, I want you to say,
- 1:00:48Speaker 2: is your expectations like for the team. I know, obviously
- 1:00:53Speaker 2: the hot start is a positive one, you know, I know,
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: like Nick has mentioned on show in previous previous years
- 1:01:02Speaker 2: and even just open this season, Like, you know, I
- 1:01:05Speaker 2: don't know if if fighting for the Scudetto is is
- 1:01:08Speaker 2: in their grasp. I think they could be there, but
- 1:01:10Speaker 2: I don't know if they're like clear you know, favorites
- 1:01:13Speaker 2: to kind of maybe run away with the thing, but
- 1:01:15Speaker 2: just as a just as a whole with the with
- 1:01:17Speaker 2: the three competitions, where do you kind of see this
- 1:01:21Speaker 2: juve a fall and in each of these kind of
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: you know copy tally. Okay, well it's gonna be what
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: it's gonna be, but more of the city I and
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: the and Champions League, like what's uh, what's the success
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: for Daniel Lucci for for you this season?
- 1:01:34Speaker 3: So I was a little more pessimistic going into the
- 1:01:36Speaker 3: start of the season, but watching this team and the
- 1:01:38Speaker 3: way they're able to fight through certain you know games
- 1:01:43Speaker 3: and situations and stuff like that, I'm a little more
- 1:01:46Speaker 3: optimistic now. Do I think there are the clear favorites
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: to win the scudetto? No, Uh do I think they're
- 1:01:52Speaker 3: clear favorites to go deep in the Champions League? Also know,
- 1:01:54Speaker 3: but I do think they will do better in the
- 1:01:56Speaker 3: Champions League this year and they should get at least
- 1:01:58Speaker 3: a round deeper. Uh. You know again, you have Bremner back, huge,
- 1:02:01Speaker 3: the offense is better. Yeah, it looks like a better
- 1:02:05Speaker 3: team chemistry going on with with Tudor there again, tactically,
- 1:02:09Speaker 3: we'll see what he can do against some of the
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: tougher coaches and the tougher teams when it comes to CDA.
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: I mean with the with these additions that they have,
- 1:02:18Speaker 3: with the depth they somewhat have now, especially in the attack. Yeah,
- 1:02:23Speaker 3: top three should should be almost a must. It should be.
- 1:02:29Speaker 3: I wouldn't say I guarantee, because you know, nothing guaranteed,
- 1:02:32Speaker 3: and injuries happened and they saw whatever, But top three.
- 1:02:36Speaker 3: Looking at the competition right now, inters at a tough start.
- 1:02:39Speaker 3: Napoli is undefeated, but they got a little lucky in
- 1:02:43Speaker 3: the Uh. Who did they beat one? Nothing? Two weeks two?
- 1:02:47Speaker 3: Three weeks ago? Uh?
- 1:02:49Speaker 1: Weeks ago?
- 1:02:50Speaker 3: Oh? My god, wasn't it just before? Yeah, wasn't it?
- 1:02:55Speaker 2: What a. Yeah.
- 1:02:58Speaker 3: So, like every team is known have their struggles, losing
- 1:03:02Speaker 3: Locaco is a huge one. So I think Napoley is
- 1:03:05Speaker 3: probably your toughest competition going into the season, just with
- 1:03:08Speaker 3: Conte and you know how he likes to play certain things. Again,
- 1:03:12Speaker 3: a lot will happen, will depend on how they do.
- 1:03:15Speaker 3: And you know with with Champions League as well, that's
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: you know, we know how Conte is when it comes
- 1:03:18Speaker 3: to more than one to one one league during the season,
- 1:03:22Speaker 3: he struggles a bit, So he might fall off a
- 1:03:24Speaker 3: bit there, Milan. I'm sorry, Adria, I just I don't
- 1:03:29Speaker 3: see it. I don't see it in that team. I
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: don't know. Rabo great, I don't know he's trust me.
- 1:03:37Speaker 3: Some of the frustrations with Rabo with that that Juventini
- 1:03:40Speaker 3: had for the many years that he was with us,
- 1:03:43Speaker 3: very inconsistent player from what I from what I saw
- 1:03:46Speaker 3: with him, Maybe he's a little different now, I don't know.
- 1:03:51Speaker 3: For your sake, Yeah, I hope so. But yeah, like
- 1:03:55Speaker 3: it's sad to say, but CDIA has fallen so hard
- 1:03:57Speaker 3: over the past, you know, five ten years whatever. The
- 1:04:01Speaker 3: competition is not what it used to be. The players,
- 1:04:04Speaker 3: you know that they that they were able to attract
- 1:04:06Speaker 3: compared to now is not what it used to be.
- 1:04:09Speaker 3: Even in the nineties, like CEO was top, everyone wanted
- 1:04:12Speaker 3: to play play in Italy. Now it's it's a struggle
- 1:04:15Speaker 3: to get you know, players in their prime to come over,
- 1:04:17Speaker 3: not only because maybe because they want to, but the
- 1:04:20Speaker 3: money they're getting offered in Spain or England or Saudi
- 1:04:23Speaker 3: or whatever, just they can't compete unfortunately. But yeah, I
- 1:04:28Speaker 3: could see you have a fighting for this Fudetto. I
- 1:04:30Speaker 3: think there's there's a you know, there's an there's an
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: opportunity there just just looking at the opposition around us.
- 1:04:37Speaker 3: You know, I don't think they're that much better than
- 1:04:39Speaker 3: what we have. Do they win it? I think they
- 1:04:42Speaker 3: fall just short this year, but they take a good
- 1:04:45Speaker 3: step in the right direction. And yeah, and Copa Italia,
- 1:04:50Speaker 3: there's no excuse for them not to go deep in
- 1:04:52Speaker 3: that tournament, as you know usually they do except last
- 1:04:54Speaker 3: year again disaster. But yeah, there's no excuse this team
- 1:05:00Speaker 3: not to do well. They've spent the money, they've they've
- 1:05:02Speaker 3: brought in players that are you know, capable players, and
- 1:05:05Speaker 3: they've done it at previous teams. Coop Minors has been
- 1:05:08Speaker 3: very disappointing, to say the least, low, which is another
- 1:05:11Speaker 3: one who's been disappointing.
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: Especially with the especially with the dollar value.
- 1:05:16Speaker 3: That is exactly that's what makes him so frustrating is
- 1:05:19Speaker 3: that they paid him all the money. Yeah, yeah, but
- 1:05:23Speaker 3: Lalovich making twelve million or whatever.
- 1:05:25Speaker 2: That's not that's it's it's absurd. Yeah.
- 1:05:29Speaker 3: So yeah, we'll see what happens. I don't think he'll
- 1:05:32Speaker 3: be back next year unless somehow he takes a massive
- 1:05:35Speaker 3: pay cut, you know, going he won't.
- 1:05:37Speaker 2: He won't weap because you know he's.
- 1:05:39Speaker 3: No one wanted to offer him that.
- 1:05:40Speaker 2: Nobody's gonna offer him that money. Why would you like,
- 1:05:43Speaker 2: why would you say no? Like, he might as well
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: stay and earn your earn your bag. And you know
- 1:05:48Speaker 2: nobody's gonna pay Nobody in this league is gonna pay
- 1:05:50Speaker 2: him twelve million. If you wanted to go elsewhere, that's
- 1:05:52Speaker 2: a different story.
- 1:05:53Speaker 3: You would do the same, wouldn't you. You're gonna someone's
- 1:05:55Speaker 3: paying you, offering to pay you off. You're gonna leave
- 1:05:57Speaker 3: your current job to go make half? I don't think so.
- 1:06:00Speaker 3: So I can't fault him like that for that. I
- 1:06:02Speaker 3: can fault the former management that offered him that kind
- 1:06:05Speaker 3: of fucking money.
- 1:06:05Speaker 2: Yeah, for sure, for sure.
- 1:06:08Speaker 3: It is what it is. Hopefully he he you know,
- 1:06:11Speaker 3: when he does get some minutes, he does something with him.
- 1:06:13Speaker 3: He scores the goal. Like we've seen in the first
- 1:06:15Speaker 3: previous game, the couple of previous games, first of them,
- 1:06:19Speaker 3: you know, like the like, there's options there, let's let's
- 1:06:21Speaker 3: get it done. I know it's early, but we've seen
- 1:06:24Speaker 3: some good signs and hopefully they continue.
- 1:06:27Speaker 2: Did was this was this, uh, all this stuff that
- 1:06:31Speaker 2: you're echoing right now, is this is this where you
- 1:06:34Speaker 2: kind of were saying maybe before the season started, or
- 1:06:36Speaker 2: or is has things changed since the beginning of the
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: year for you?
- 1:06:40Speaker 3: I was so going into the season. I wasn't. I
- 1:06:42Speaker 3: was a little worried about keeping Tudor, to be honest
- 1:06:45Speaker 3: with you, I thought, you know, a better coach, a
- 1:06:47Speaker 3: more tactically aware and diverse coach would would make a
- 1:06:51Speaker 3: better difference. But he has. He surprised me a little bit.
- 1:06:56Speaker 3: I know it's still early. It's only been again we've
- 1:06:59Speaker 3: played jam Uh you know, inters not at their best. Well,
- 1:07:03Speaker 3: we'll see who how they do when with the next
- 1:07:06Speaker 3: teams that come up. It's it's a long season. So
- 1:07:08Speaker 3: you know, it's one week, two weeks back, you know,
- 1:07:11Speaker 3: a couple of bad weeks in a row. Then you
- 1:07:12Speaker 3: know you're right down, back down the ladder. So hopefully
- 1:07:16Speaker 3: heats these guys mentally fresh, mentally aware, and you know,
- 1:07:21Speaker 3: who knows, maybe maybe he knows something that I don't.
- 1:07:24Speaker 3: And he's he's got he's got the right, the right
- 1:07:26Speaker 3: knock for it, and he's he's doing well with his team.
- 1:07:29Speaker 3: This is maybe this is the team he was meant
- 1:07:30Speaker 3: to coaching and do well with, you know, with other teams,
- 1:07:33Speaker 3: with Lazio and Marseille, he's not He's been around. Yeah,
- 1:07:37Speaker 3: he hasn't done anything special. So we'll see if this
- 1:07:41Speaker 3: one can last.
- 1:07:42Speaker 2: But well, it took. It took and again I don't
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: want it to sound like, you know, carbon copy for
- 1:07:48Speaker 2: for Milan, but you know, it took a guy like
- 1:07:51Speaker 2: Stefano Pioli right that that didn't really accomplish too much
- 1:07:54Speaker 2: in his career. He had he was kind of that journeyman.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: He was good, He was a decent.
- 1:07:58Speaker 3: Toti was right with Nappoly right.
- 1:08:01Speaker 2: Never never really won besides you know, in Russia or
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: what have you. But you know, and it takes sometimes
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: these types of managers to come around and maybe it
- 1:08:10Speaker 2: works in magic. And like you said earlier, and we've
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: said on the show many many times, Luci, you know,
- 1:08:14Speaker 2: it takes a bit of luck, right, It takes a
- 1:08:16Speaker 2: bit of luck. You know, the things have to go
- 1:08:18Speaker 2: aligne in your in your favor sometimes and it kind
- 1:08:22Speaker 2: of is what it is. But yeah, no, I was
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: I'm still I'm still on the fence for two doors,
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: just as an outsider.
- 1:08:29Speaker 1: Uh.
- 1:08:30Speaker 2: You know, we're saying, we're singing these praises and it's
- 1:08:32Speaker 2: it's match ja three, let's talk. Let's talk when it's
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: match day, you know, twenty three or thirty three. Right
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: at the end of the season. Let's see exactly that changed.
- 1:08:40Speaker 3: You know, you know, people like Juvent Tiny and and
- 1:08:43Speaker 3: you know myself included where you know, when you they
- 1:08:45Speaker 3: went down three two, we were a little concerned because
- 1:08:48Speaker 3: you know, you didn't make any subs or he made
- 1:08:49Speaker 3: them too late. He looked like we were defending for
- 1:08:52Speaker 3: a large parts of the game, sitting so deep. You know,
- 1:08:55Speaker 3: as soon as we went up one nothing, we were
- 1:08:56Speaker 3: already defending and we still had, you know, eighty five
- 1:08:59Speaker 3: minutes to go, so like that stuff worries me a bit.
- 1:09:03Speaker 3: Hopefully he can adjust on the fly, as you know,
- 1:09:05Speaker 3: the opposition is different, the teams are different situations, so
- 1:09:08Speaker 3: on and so forth. But yeah, I still have my
- 1:09:12Speaker 3: my concerns with him. Well we'll see. That's why I
- 1:09:15Speaker 3: think you they fall short, will fall short and pretty
- 1:09:18Speaker 3: much all the competitions, you know, they should do well
- 1:09:20Speaker 3: just based on the players they have, but maybe the
- 1:09:22Speaker 3: coach is just you know, just missing that little extra notch,
- 1:09:26Speaker 3: you know, that tactical genius that brings them to that
- 1:09:29Speaker 3: next level.
- 1:09:29Speaker 2: Right, Yeah, now, I think I think you are pretty sure.
- 1:09:33Speaker 2: I don't remember, Jenny, for you remember if you, however
- 1:09:36Speaker 2: you had them, but I think I had them around
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: four or five, if I'm honest with you, you know,
- 1:09:41Speaker 2: I thought because last season, you know, I know it
- 1:09:44Speaker 2: was a was a bit of a weird, wacky year
- 1:09:46Speaker 2: obviously with the coaching change and everything. But you know,
- 1:09:50Speaker 2: they have to play catch up right right near the end.
- 1:09:52Speaker 2: It's a really kind of it was one point right between.
- 1:09:54Speaker 3: Them, many draw points you know, to to lesser teams
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: that that kills.
- 1:09:58Speaker 2: Exactly all the draw right. It was like what fucking
- 1:10:01Speaker 2: thirteen sixteen whatever.
- 1:10:03Speaker 3: Yeah, it was wild ridiculous about in the middle.
- 1:10:06Speaker 1: Yeah.
- 1:10:06Speaker 3: Right, so if you want to compete with the with
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: the top, you know, with Knapoly and inter, you can't
- 1:10:11Speaker 3: be dropping that many points.
- 1:10:12Speaker 2: It's just grows need to be wins. It's just it's
- 1:10:15Speaker 2: as simple as that. Then, you know, listen, I think,
- 1:10:18Speaker 2: like I said just said earlier, like, I mean, it's
- 1:10:21Speaker 2: we it's matchally three. Let's calm again, like I said
- 1:10:24Speaker 2: with yieldas and just other points, it was just calm down, right,
- 1:10:27Speaker 2: it's only match Aly three. Like, I think it's a
- 1:10:29Speaker 2: positive for you guys because I don't remember how you
- 1:10:31Speaker 2: guys started last year, but I don't think it was.
- 1:10:32Speaker 3: Well, this is the first time and I think five
- 1:10:35Speaker 3: years or so that they've won the first three games
- 1:10:37Speaker 3: of the season.
- 1:10:38Speaker 2: Right, I was thinking of something similar. Yeah, So so.
- 1:10:42Speaker 3: It's it's early, but it's positive signs at least, you know, yeah,
- 1:10:46Speaker 3: at least if we're already concerned that three, you know,
- 1:10:48Speaker 3: three games in, then we gotta we got a problem.
- 1:10:50Speaker 3: So at least we're not worried about that for.
- 1:10:53Speaker 2: Sure, And I totally agree. But listen, which I think
- 1:10:55Speaker 2: we can we can talk about this stuff all day,
- 1:10:58Speaker 2: But well I think there, Uh Jenny uns you had
- 1:11:01Speaker 2: anything else to add in.
- 1:11:02Speaker 1: There, but no, not really.
- 1:11:04Speaker 2: I think uh, I think we we touched upon. I
- 1:11:07Speaker 2: think we try to touch upon everything. Obviously a big
- 1:11:10Speaker 2: game for you Ventina tomorrow, like we said, uh, Champions
