• 1:36
  Speaker 1: thank you every everyone who supported us. We've had some
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: fun moments on the show. It was fun when it
• 1:43
  Speaker 1: was fun when we did it at CJLO. We had
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: some great moments there because we were able to do
• 1:47
  Speaker 1: it in person. And then we adapted, you know, because
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: we stopped having access to the station, but we also pandemic.
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: So now we've you know, turned into this form man,
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: and we saw fun moments.
• 1:56
  Speaker 2: Absolutely. I mean, I couldn't even believe it's been six years.
• 1:59
  Speaker 2: I mean it's it's we're phonn by, you know, from
• 2:02
  Speaker 2: from the beginning to the end, or not the end,
• 2:04
  Speaker 2: but for till now used to it's been a hell
• 2:07
  Speaker 2: of a ride. And uh yeah, I know listen, like
• 2:09
  Speaker 2: Nick said, thank you to everybody that's stuck with us
• 2:12
  Speaker 2: from day one midway point. If you're new to the show,
• 2:15
  Speaker 2: you know, thank you for joining along with us. But
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: it's been, like I said, a hell of a ride.
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: And we hope obviously for for many more episodes to
• 2:23
  Speaker 2: come in the future.
• 2:26
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's uh crazy, man, six years flown by. It's
• 2:31
  Speaker 3: it just it just feels like it feels like yesterday.
• 2:33
  Speaker 3: And it's like, yeah, you know, I got a free
• 2:34
  Speaker 3: slot at the Concordia Radio about we started doing a
• 2:37
  Speaker 3: soccer show, like yeah, right, not that sounds like fun
• 2:40
  Speaker 3: and you know, coming on days off whenever I could
• 2:42
  Speaker 3: and stuff and wow, are yeah crazy. The show survived
• 2:48
  Speaker 3: their pandemic just to think and just think about that.
• 2:50
  Speaker 3: You know, the show survived the pandemic and we're and
• 2:53
  Speaker 3: we're still here. A lot of people don't even get
• 2:55
  Speaker 3: through that.
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: Honestly, I think that's what kind of helped us, because
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: you know, we didn't have much to do. You know,
• 3:01
  Speaker 1: we started getting together on our own every week instead
• 3:05
  Speaker 1: of having like a booked set time at CJLO. That's
• 3:08
  Speaker 1: when we say, okay, guys, let's just do it. Let's
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: record this night, you know for period those Monday nights
• 3:13
  Speaker 1: or periods Tuesday nights or periodos Wednesday nights. And I
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: think that's what helped. And I enjoyed it definitely during
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the pandemic because, like I said, gave gave me something
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: to do. But yeah, you know what a dree. As
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: much as I'm sure you're excited to talk about this
• 3:30
  Speaker 1: Derby win, uh, let's let's start the let's start the
• 3:34
  Speaker 1: show off a bit slower. Let's talk about the other
• 3:36
  Speaker 1: Derby and the couch guys this weekend. And that was
• 3:39
  Speaker 1: youve anopoly. I mean, not much to talk about, honestly,
• 3:43
  Speaker 1: another zero zero draw for you have a third straight
• 3:45
  Speaker 1: zero zero draw in city. I was just what's crazy
• 3:49
  Speaker 1: is that when they don't tie zero zero, they win
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: through nothing. Sorry, that's all. Like they score three goals
• 3:55
  Speaker 1: because they beat Como three nothing and then hell Us
• 3:58
  Speaker 1: three nothing, and then in Champions League they won three
• 4:00
  Speaker 1: to one with a late goal from Leipzig. So but
• 4:04
  Speaker 1: you know, for you a zero zero again Natly, Okay,
• 4:06
  Speaker 1: I understand that's a good it's a good opponent. But
• 4:09
  Speaker 1: again it's the play. It's the fact that they had
• 4:12
  Speaker 1: sixty five percent percent possession and only had one shot
• 4:16
  Speaker 1: on target. This is a copycat of the Roma game.
• 4:20
  Speaker 1: You know, I understand if you don't score and you
• 4:24
  Speaker 1: create chances and either you get unlucky, a couple of posts,
• 4:26
  Speaker 1: a couple of bounces here and there, or maybe the
• 4:28
  Speaker 1: other goal. He's really good, but uve was also playing
• 4:33
  Speaker 1: a backup goal. You had to come in midway through
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: the good midway through the game. I don't know how
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: good this caprile A guy is, Johnny, but you know,
• 4:41
  Speaker 1: when he came in, my first thought was you gotta
• 4:43
  Speaker 1: get shots on him. He's cold, like, just just get
• 4:47
  Speaker 1: to him right away. And that's what they did. I
• 4:48
  Speaker 1: don't know if they're if their shot on that was
• 4:51
  Speaker 1: on Caprile or Merritt. But it's starting to get a
• 4:56
  Speaker 1: bit old, this zero zero draw stuff again. I I
• 5:00
  Speaker 1: understand again, good opponent, very defensive, Get Napoly geez eleven
• 5:05
  Speaker 1: guys back behind the ball. This typical Conte. You couldn't
• 5:09
  Speaker 1: get much done. But at the same time, yes, it's
• 5:14
  Speaker 1: Conte system. You still need more than one shot on
• 5:16
  Speaker 1: Matt if you if you want to get points in
• 5:17
  Speaker 1: this league.
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: I mean, I don't disagree with you, to be fair,
• 5:24
  Speaker 3: and Napole didn't do that much better in terms of
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: offensive output, like eight shots, what was it? Only only
• 5:32
  Speaker 3: two on target? You know, both teams had the exact
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: same expected goals zero point three to one. It's it's
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: really funny. It was it was the battle of mid
• 5:41
  Speaker 3: in this game, you know.
• 5:43
  Speaker 4: But when I saw the result, basically I was thinking
• 5:47
  Speaker 4: about what she said when we watched it, all my
• 5:49
  Speaker 4: juve together, where it's like Matta needs to get themselves
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: tested versus like, you know, against tougher opponents to see
• 5:57
  Speaker 4: what his results are.
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: And I thought, you know, maybe that Champions League game
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: was kind of him, like disproving a bit of those beliefs,
• 6:03
  Speaker 3: you know, where it's like Okay, maybe he is able
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: to get Uvea performing at a higher level when the
• 6:08
  Speaker 3: stakes get a little bit more serious. But you're playing
• 6:11
  Speaker 3: against a big rival or not. But it's a very
• 6:13
  Speaker 3: important game. It's a derby in itself, and you deliver
• 6:17
  Speaker 3: in a performance where you know you're not nothing comes
• 6:21
  Speaker 3: from it, right, But Nick, correct me if I'm wrong,
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: you can you can tell me. Does it feel like
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: Juventus lacks a killer mentality? Do you feel like as
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: if the team doesn't have that, like that killer instinct
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: right now? Because watching the game, I you know, watching
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: whatever clips I could and find in the extended highlights
• 6:41
  Speaker 3: and whatnot. I was out of town this weekend for
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: the for the listeners, so I couldn't watch the game live.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: But it just seemed like as if Juventus themselves didn't
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: seem like the Uventus of the past where they have
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: this killer instinct. Like it's maybe it's been since last year,
• 6:58
  Speaker 3: this vibe has been gone, but it still looks like
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: as if they're in the process of discovering it. Do
• 7:03
  Speaker 3: you find you do you find it's the same thing.
• 7:05
  Speaker 1: I think they just lacked killer goal scoring instinct. Ah,
• 7:10
  Speaker 1: And that's on Vovich straight up. It sucks as there's
• 7:14
  Speaker 1: not a lot of depth and and it was waya
• 7:18
  Speaker 1: who came in? Maybe my confusing my games was yeah, yeah,
• 7:23
  Speaker 1: who came in? I thought it was I thought he
• 7:25
  Speaker 1: came in for some reason. I thought he came in
• 7:27
  Speaker 1: to replace him in the road one game. But no,
• 7:28
  Speaker 1: it was a Napoli game. So the fact that you
• 7:31
  Speaker 1: have a non striker coming in to replace Vavic or striker,
• 7:34
  Speaker 1: that's that's almost an insult to vol I mean, it
• 7:38
  Speaker 1: makes sense that he needed to get stubbed off he
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: was not playing well. This is the same conversation above
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: Vovich that we've had. We've had so many times. Mm
• 7:46
  Speaker 1: hmmm ah. But I think if there was a mistake
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: from moving in the summer market was not getting a backup.
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: I don't know what's happening with Milick. I don't know
• 7:55
  Speaker 1: is he still again? Is he still I thought he
• 7:57
  Speaker 1: was still on the team.
• 7:58
  Speaker 2: To be honest, I think he is. Yeah. I think
• 8:00
  Speaker 2: he's injured. Yeah he's in.
• 8:04
  Speaker 3: I can think of yeah, yeah, hold on, I can
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: get it up right for us right now. I put
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: it in some notes aside. Uh, yeah, Millick is out.
• 8:13
  Speaker 3: Let's see here. Entry period it's.
• 8:18
  Speaker 2: Been a little bit now.
• 8:19
  Speaker 1: Yeah, so he's injured, Okay.
• 8:20
  Speaker 2: So no existent so yeah, yeah.
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: They don't have anybody behind Valvias, so they really have
• 8:26
  Speaker 1: to rely on him. Yes, it would be nice to
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: get also more scoring from wingers, but at the end
• 8:31
  Speaker 1: of the day, if you're paying Vovage for money that
• 8:33
  Speaker 1: he gets paid, he needs to score goals, especially in
• 8:36
  Speaker 1: these big games. You know, you look at the three
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: games in which they've scored three goals, a lot of
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: goals from wingers. But when they're not getting those goals
• 8:45
  Speaker 1: from wingers, that's when they're not even getting goals from
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: Valvage and they're not getting any goals at all. So
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: I think they're lacking that. Again, I talked about it
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: last week. You could see there's growing pains, especially in
• 8:58
  Speaker 1: the midfield, I think minors. He still has ways to
• 9:01
  Speaker 1: go to get to a level that we expect him
• 9:05
  Speaker 1: to play, and there's maybe a bit of chemistry building
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: going on right now. But like obviously you know three
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: three games now in Sidia, uh, without conceding, sorry for
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: six five games they just played match DA five, right,
• 9:25
  Speaker 1: yeah match five, I might.
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: Yeah, five five games that are conceding.
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and they conceded in the Champions League Elite. Obviously
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: that's good, but it almost feels like it's unsustainable and
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: once the barriers break, they're they're doomed.
• 9:41
  Speaker 3: Mm hmm.
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: Sure you can say the same about their their goalscoring problem.
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: But it's a lot harder to score goals than it
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: is to to you know, it's it's harder to break
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: a goal is streak than it is to.
• 9:57
  Speaker 2: To a shutout streak.
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: Pushed out of there, you go that that's where he's
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: also looking for. Uh So I think they saw that,
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you know that meme where it's like, uh, you draw
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: a horse and it looks really good in the back
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: and then as you get to the front and it's
• 10:11
  Speaker 1: not good.
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: That's you.
• 10:13
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's great defense, rib attack.
• 10:16
  Speaker 2: Paint that picture, guys. Is it one thing I want
• 10:19
  Speaker 2: to throw into the conversation. Uh And we said it
• 10:22
  Speaker 2: on previous shows, you know, for Jove and for Napoli.
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: I like, I think this game was one of the first,
• 10:29
  Speaker 2: if not first tests for these teams. I know you've
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: played Romaine and they kind of had that that first
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: test against a bigger opposition. Uh, you know, Napoli, I
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: think we are said it. I don't remember for the
• 10:40
  Speaker 2: last week, the threek before, but this is uh, this
• 10:43
  Speaker 2: was like the first test, big test for them and
• 10:46
  Speaker 2: obviously fall short in terms of not paying a maximum
• 10:49
  Speaker 2: points that zilla. It was kind of a snows fast game.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: So it's not really much to say, but uh, maybe
• 10:55
  Speaker 2: more painting, more towards uh va. Nick worries about all
• 11:00
  Speaker 2: this this continues zero zero and just not scoring at
• 11:03
  Speaker 2: at a higher level. Or is it, like you said,
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: just the growing pains in the chemistry building.
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: No, it's worrisome. Like you know, I'm gonna bring up
• 11:14
  Speaker 1: another meme, you know, the meme of the guy holding
• 11:16
  Speaker 1: the shirt that he gets for Christmas and it's the
• 11:18
  Speaker 1: exact same shirt he's wearing, the old man one that's
• 11:22
  Speaker 1: oovay right now. And you know, I know last year,
• 11:28
  Speaker 1: I obviously I defended a legrie this and that, and
• 11:31
  Speaker 1: and there were periods where they were playing like this
• 11:33
  Speaker 1: and they were getting one nothing wins, and people were
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: frustrated that and they said, hey, guys, we're winning, why
• 11:37
  Speaker 1: why getting frustrated waiting? So they asked for changes with
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: the change and yes, so you got these fancy three
• 11:43
  Speaker 1: nothing memes. Then when it doesn't go well, you don't
• 11:45
  Speaker 1: even get wins, and there was her yes we haven't lost,
• 11:49
  Speaker 1: But for me that's a bit worrying. It's it's just
• 11:51
  Speaker 1: it just feels like it's the trend that's continued from
• 11:53
  Speaker 1: last year. So until I see progress against good teams,
• 11:58
  Speaker 1: top city at teams, yeah yeah, I'm not, I'm gonna
• 12:01
  Speaker 1: be a bit worried. Like, look at their schedule. I
• 12:03
  Speaker 1: know they played Genua Genoa incality, and then there's the
• 12:07
  Speaker 1: break and then they come back against Lotso so at
• 12:09
  Speaker 1: least the next two games I guess you could say
• 12:12
  Speaker 1: easier than you know, all due respect, then games against
• 12:16
  Speaker 1: Napoli Roman. I know they played Champions League next week.
• 12:19
  Speaker 1: I forget who they play, Leipzing. They played Lipzing, so
• 12:26
  Speaker 1: we'll see.
• 12:27
  Speaker 3: It should be a team for Anapoli side of things
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: is the kind of result you want to get when
• 12:31
  Speaker 3: you go into you know, you know, like you're you're
• 12:34
  Speaker 3: you're going to you're going in a very very tough stadium,
• 12:36
  Speaker 3: you know, and to get a zero zero draw on
• 12:40
  Speaker 3: the road against Juventus is really big. It's also kind
• 12:43
  Speaker 3: of like a bit of a testing point for Conte,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: you know, to go up against his former team, you know,
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: and I'm pretty sure he kind of wanted to win,
• 12:53
  Speaker 3: but I think he's okay with walking away with a draw.
• 12:57
  Speaker 1: It's kind of like.
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: A pretty sure there was a lot of pressure on
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: him to get some form of a result, and I
• 13:04
  Speaker 3: think the Lolentis isn't too mad about him getting the
• 13:09
  Speaker 3: draw in this game, to be honest with you, I
• 13:11
  Speaker 3: think think if you're Anapoli, you're kind of okay with
• 13:14
  Speaker 3: walking alli with a draw. Obviously you always want to win,
• 13:16
  Speaker 3: but considering the location, the type of team that they've had,
• 13:20
  Speaker 3: and the season they've been having, whereas we said before, uh,
• 13:24
  Speaker 3: you know, five games played, zero goals conceded. You take,
• 13:27
  Speaker 3: you take that nil nil draw on you and then
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: you go home with it and then you see from
• 13:32
  Speaker 3: there what happens when they come to Matadonna. So I
• 13:37
  Speaker 3: think for in Fernapoli, this was more of a different
• 13:39
  Speaker 3: side of the coin where it's like a bit more
• 13:41
  Speaker 3: of a positive note, not the most positive, because you
• 13:44
  Speaker 3: obviously want to win, but you take it.
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: But Adri Milan was a team that was struggling heading
• 13:53
  Speaker 1: into this derby, both this season and in Derby's past. Uh,
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: and then you know, we talked about.
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: It last week. Uh.
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: I don't know if you guys had much expectations considering
• 14:07
  Speaker 1: that Melan had what one win on the season heading
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: into this game, a one win, two draws and a loss,
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: plus the loss in the Champions League. Okay, mind enjoy
• 14:18
  Speaker 1: against a good team in Liverpool, but you know, Inter
• 14:22
  Speaker 1: defending champions.
• 14:23
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: They I mean they had they were coming into the game.
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: Two wins, a loss in a draws, you know, not
• 14:29
  Speaker 1: that much different and both utterable Melon, Uh win this
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: h this past weekend. Goals from Gabia and Pulisic.
• 14:39
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: And on the other side it was DeMarco, but Pulisitch
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: the American hero ten minute, I mean, perfect start for
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: Melon and then perfect ending to with Matteo Gabia's goal.
• 14:50
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 14:51
  Speaker 1: Adrian, the floor is yours? Take us through those emotions?
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, listen, obviously a high emotions, you know, with
• 14:56
  Speaker 2: the gain that result. Finally, it took what seven tries
• 15:02
  Speaker 2: to to finally get a derby away from Inter. They
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: won the last six on us. So obviously we've had
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: some some some trouble beating them in you know, the
• 15:10
  Speaker 2: biggest game on the calendar, not being the Debbie delam Alina.
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: You know, we saw what Pyo was doing trying to
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: get a result against Inter equally wasn't working and was
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: in Fonseca coming into this game. All the all the
• 15:27
  Speaker 2: all the headlines, fun sec out, fun sec out, He's
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: gonna get replaced. There's already the names you know, lined
• 15:33
  Speaker 2: up to see who wasn't replace Fonseca, especially if he
• 15:36
  Speaker 2: was gonna lose his that be it was going to be,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: you know, him really on the hot seat. So you know,
• 15:42
  Speaker 2: one thing I was surprised is that, you know, he
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: he had some balls and he had some courage to
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: to change, to change up a bit and you know,
• 15:49
  Speaker 2: play the the old school traditional four four two against
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: you know, the high flying three five two of in there.
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: And you know, I think both both teams had midway
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: MIDWEK games New obviously losing to Liverpool and into going
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: to City and and imagine a result there. So you know,
• 16:11
  Speaker 2: I was seeing some you know, some things online it's like,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: oh yeah, you know what the MIDWEK game cut up
• 16:15
  Speaker 2: to Inter. You know they played they played City blah
• 16:17
  Speaker 2: blah blah. It's like, listen, I think they had the
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: majority of not all their their their starters playing. I think,
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: you know, Melon on the day was the better team. Uh,
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: no bias in saying that. I think it was just
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: that was the facts, and I think they merited the
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: three points. I mean, obviously it would have been a
• 16:36
  Speaker 2: bit of a disappointment to to play this well and
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: to have these chances and and and not be able
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: to finish the job, which we've seen new On doing
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: the past. But you know, this Sunday or you know,
• 16:47
  Speaker 2: we were able to finally finish the job, and you know,
• 16:50
  Speaker 2: just highlighting some players you mentioned Polic, I think what
• 16:53
  Speaker 2: a week he's had, obviously scoring uh in two big
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: games in the first ten minutes in both games, and
• 17:00
  Speaker 2: when he scored in the Champions League against Liverpool in
• 17:02
  Speaker 2: the fifth minute. You know, obviously our emotions were high
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: then and didn't get the result there. But coming onto
• 17:09
  Speaker 2: the weekend against In there it was it was almost
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: a carbon copy, and we kind of got you know,
• 17:12
  Speaker 2: as fans, as fans kind of got scared, kind of
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: got nervous, like, oh fuck, is this gonna happen again?
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: But going up so early and you know we're ultimately
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: gonna maybe lose the points and and lose another debutwetween
• 17:22
  Speaker 2: there and you know, luckily for us it wasn't the case.
• 17:25
  Speaker 2: And you know, Mattel Gabbia played play hero at the
• 17:29
  Speaker 2: end and obviously he's uh, he's you know me Onista
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: two and two. Uh batto correro socenaro as as they're saying.
• 17:38
  Speaker 2: So it was it was a great moment. But I
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: think overall, you know, obviously there was some there was
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: some negatives, but you know, for the most part, uh,
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: you know, a lot of positives and just I think,
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: you know, fuon Seca, like I said, trying something different,
• 17:55
  Speaker 2: nothing crazy, because he only went out the four four
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: two playing you know, Morata and and Tommy Abraham together.
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: Was was something that we hadn't seen, uh, you know
• 18:04
  Speaker 2: from minute one. So it seemed to have worked that
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: I've liked, you know, the attacking play and you know,
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: obviously to finish, work on the finishing, and that's that's,
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: you know, because I think this game could have been
• 18:15
  Speaker 2: more than just a two one result if if I'm honest,
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: you know, there was there was chances throughout the game,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: especially at the end of the game as well, that
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: could really put the nail on the coffin, but you know,
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: settle for the two one obviously happy and you know,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: like we like to say, Milano, Milano is read. Uh so,
• 18:33
  Speaker 2: you know, like I said, post its top. I mean,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: god be a you know top. You know, Emerson Royale
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: playing right back, a player that we've all you know,
• 18:42
  Speaker 2: really not liked in that role. I know some fans
• 18:45
  Speaker 2: were saying he was still slopping and still not uh
• 18:48
  Speaker 2: you know, watchable, but I think, you know, ultimately he
• 18:52
  Speaker 2: had one of the better games that he's had in
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: the Milan shirt. And that's not really saying too much
• 18:58
  Speaker 2: because his level and his quality is so low, but
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: just to say that even though they were getting you know,
• 19:04
  Speaker 2: there was a there was a moment in the game
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: where I think it was Demodico and Bustoni coming down
• 19:08
  Speaker 2: that right hand, flying and just cross after cross after cross,
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: and obviously that's on Emerson Royal side. But you know, listen,
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: we got the job done. We're able to to to
• 19:19
  Speaker 2: to keep them at bay. And and again I don't
• 19:21
  Speaker 2: think we saw the best in the not in terms
• 19:24
  Speaker 2: of the players on the pitch. I think just mentality
• 19:27
  Speaker 2: and attitude and coming into this game I honestly think
• 19:29
  Speaker 2: they might have overlooked me on, uh because they've they've
• 19:32
  Speaker 2: seen the story before coming into a dedbe They've had
• 19:35
  Speaker 2: our number for what, like I said, six straight derbies.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: So I mean, I guess you come in they're a
• 19:40
  Speaker 2: bit too confident and maybe over confident and kind of
• 19:43
  Speaker 2: looking past Melon and liston. We'll take that. Uh. We
• 19:47
  Speaker 2: got the results of that end, that's all that matters.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: But yeah, just incredible, Uh, just atmosphere, you know, just
• 19:54
  Speaker 2: the celebrations, the t fows were top. I mean, you know,
• 19:58
  Speaker 2: making a hell of a save on Turam in the
• 20:02
  Speaker 2: forty second minute right before halftime, because I think if that,
• 20:05
  Speaker 2: if that ball goes in, I think it's a different
• 20:07
  Speaker 2: story come the second half. I don't know if Neon
• 20:09
  Speaker 2: has enough uh to to score two more goals to
• 20:14
  Speaker 2: to win the game, maybe another goal to tie it
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: I could have seen. But another two goals to ask
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: for in that second half would have would have been tough.
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: But so you know, Neon sorry, coming in clutch with
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: a hell of a save kind of right in front
• 20:28
  Speaker 2: of goal there on Touram was was was massive, you know,
• 20:33
  Speaker 2: to Johnny Rangers getting the you know, the Panini man
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: of the match, Uh, one of the better games he's
• 20:39
  Speaker 2: had in a melon shirt for finals, one of his
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: better better games as in a melon shirt. And man like,
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: I know Tommy has to finish that. And I know
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: Johnny has seen Tommy more than I have, you know,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: on a on a more regular basis, and he definitely
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: has to finish that chance that he had in the
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: second half. There a hell of a ball by Reindeers
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: and he almost you know, soorts that in and we're
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: talking maybe a different result in terms of goalscoring. But
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: man like, I know we spoke about the deal, uh
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: you know, the swap deal with with Abram coming our
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: way and sound Makers going Roma's way. But and and
• 21:19
  Speaker 2: I'll you know, I just didn't expect Abraham to have
• 21:23
  Speaker 2: such high spirit and such like he's already so far
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: invested so much in Melan and really wants to play well.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: And it's really like first Derby, it's just what is
• 21:35
  Speaker 2: like his second and third game like kind of like
• 21:37
  Speaker 2: into the mix and he's he's he's already like seeming
• 21:41
  Speaker 2: like he's bleeding red in black. Like it's just his spirit,
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: his intensity is is seems to be infectious, the posts
• 21:49
  Speaker 2: that he made, you know, the day after on Monday morning,
• 21:52
  Speaker 2: sipping on some water and saying, you know, Lelano is
• 21:55
  Speaker 2: still reading black, you know. It Just it's things like
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: that that you don't always see from from players that
• 21:59
  Speaker 2: are only alone, Like it's just a swap deal alone,
• 22:01
  Speaker 2: Like we don't know, like what's gonna happen in the
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: future if that's potential, potential a full time transfer, permanent transfer.
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: But just again, from top to bottom, there was there
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: was a lot of positives against some negatives in there too.
• 22:19
  Speaker 2: I think obviously they all needed to be better, but
• 22:21
  Speaker 2: I think the players that played either minds really carried
• 22:25
  Speaker 2: the team. You know, Polist each mana Ryan Reindeers, uh,
• 22:30
  Speaker 2: you know, full fund Now played well. You know, I
• 22:34
  Speaker 2: think Tail Captainine was top as well. And yeah, just
• 22:40
  Speaker 2: just just happy. I mean it's a sigh of relief,
• 22:42
  Speaker 2: I think is the biggest is the biggest thing for
• 22:44
  Speaker 2: this new and victory and yeah, and we'll see because listen,
• 22:49
  Speaker 2: coming into this game, we were at a low, not
• 22:52
  Speaker 2: only just in terms of like the derbies that we've
• 22:55
  Speaker 2: lost and haven't been able to pick up points and
• 22:57
  Speaker 2: such and whatnot, but it just you know, not starting
• 23:01
  Speaker 2: off this season the way I think Nelon finds. Well,
• 23:03
  Speaker 2: I know, Melon fans didn't want having your coach kind
• 23:06
  Speaker 2: of on the hot seat. No confidence. Uh, just so
• 23:12
  Speaker 2: much negative I think, just like in the room. Uh
• 23:14
  Speaker 2: or maybe maybe not in the room, because I think
• 23:16
  Speaker 2: these guys really bonded together and really came together coach
• 23:19
  Speaker 2: and included. Uh there's a lot of things that is
• 23:22
  Speaker 2: doing behind the scenes that we don't really see. Uh
• 23:25
  Speaker 2: that again reported you know he had you know, uh,
• 23:28
  Speaker 2: but apparently he had a barbecue before or like a
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: big team outing before at his house, so you know,
• 23:35
  Speaker 2: with all the players, so you really trying to I guess,
• 23:38
  Speaker 2: walk out that outside noise and really come together as
• 23:41
  Speaker 2: a group and have courage to to go forward and
• 23:44
  Speaker 2: to get some big results. So well, I was hope
• 23:46
  Speaker 2: this is a springboard for me one uh you know,
• 23:49
  Speaker 2: going forward in these big games and finish off, you know,
• 23:52
  Speaker 2: to continue on in this season rather than just a
• 23:55
  Speaker 2: one off and we go back to playing some some
• 23:59
  Speaker 2: not so inch and not so you know good football.
• 24:02
  Speaker 2: So again, only time will tell. We'll have to see.
• 24:05
  Speaker 2: But if this is uh you know, a springboard of
• 24:08
  Speaker 2: what's to come. You know, obviously Neon fans should be excited,
• 24:11
  Speaker 2: and I you know, who would have thought, you know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 2: and in this match day match day five, we're tied
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: on points with in there at eight with only a
• 24:20
  Speaker 2: goal differential difference. They have five, we have four, uh,
• 24:23
  Speaker 2: you know, plus five plus four. So not not a
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: position that I would have thought. After you know, the
• 24:28
  Speaker 2: part of the game, the Torino game, you know, this game,
• 24:31
  Speaker 2: that game, especially with Liverpool midweek, it was it was,
• 24:35
  Speaker 2: you know, destined to be another you know, h Doom
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: and Groom weekend. But thankfully it wasn't. And not only
• 24:43
  Speaker 2: that Melon picked up the result, and all their direct
• 24:45
  Speaker 2: competitors uh didn't manage to pick on maximum points either.
• 24:49
  Speaker 2: So we'll see somehow Torino is on the top of
• 24:52
  Speaker 2: the table there with eleven points. But you know, I think,
• 24:56
  Speaker 2: you know, Milan, if they continue to play like this
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: and and and and what's like it continues to have
• 25:02
  Speaker 2: you know, new ideas and ways to tactically beat the opponent,
• 25:05
  Speaker 2: I think you know there will be on a good
• 25:07
  Speaker 2: path going forward.
• 25:09
  Speaker 3: I think it's refreshing to see the real team of
• 25:11
  Speaker 3: Toddyo in first place. I love it. I don't know
• 25:13
  Speaker 3: about you.
• 25:13
  Speaker 2: Ag all beautiful any anything but the fake one is.
• 25:19
  Speaker 3: But in all seriousness though, you'll see that with Tammy.
• 25:22
  Speaker 3: Tammy's always been a guy that's been in good spirit.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: It's what I really enjoyed about him. He's always been
• 25:26
  Speaker 3: for the fans. He's always no matter where he goes,
• 25:28
  Speaker 3: like this was a guy who, uh, don't forget he's
• 25:31
  Speaker 3: from England himself, you know, gets considered a reject by Chelsea,
• 25:35
  Speaker 3: you know, which is very tough to hear sometimes, especially
• 25:37
  Speaker 3: when you're in a country you're not wanted and then
• 25:40
  Speaker 3: you know, you get shipped off to Roma, which yeah, okay,
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: it's the capital of Italy. So obviously as a person
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: who if you're not Italian, you're like, oh well, at
• 25:47
  Speaker 3: least I'm in the capital. It's a beautiful city and
• 25:49
  Speaker 3: you make the best of it, you know, part of
• 25:51
  Speaker 3: some very big moments and part of a you know,
• 25:53
  Speaker 3: a team that won the conference league. You know, he
• 25:55
  Speaker 3: paid dividends right away. You know, he's he's no stranger
• 25:58
  Speaker 3: to coming up in big games.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 26:00
  Speaker 3: Even though Daniel that scored that goal, Tommy was very
• 26:02
  Speaker 3: crucial in getting there. So it's Timmy's always been Tommy's
• 26:07
  Speaker 3: one of the reason why I love Tommy so much
• 26:09
  Speaker 3: is that he will show up in those important games.
• 26:12
  Speaker 3: He's not the most consistent, but he's But it's not
• 26:14
  Speaker 3: like as if he disappears in ghosts either. He's just
• 26:17
  Speaker 3: you know, he gets his chances. Sometimes he gets them
• 26:20
  Speaker 3: sometimes maybe good. Sometimes it may be shipped, you know. Uh,
• 26:24
  Speaker 3: but he's always gonna give his full effort and stuff.
• 26:28
  Speaker 3: So I'm really happy you guys get to see that.
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: I was surprised, to be honest, like, I just didn't.
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: I mean, obviously we watched it. Yeah, I know the
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: type of player he is. When he came to Roma,
• 26:39
  Speaker 2: he had a hell of a year. He got that
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: injury problem, he was out a long time now kind
• 26:44
  Speaker 2: of coming back into his rhythm. I just didn't know
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: what to expect. Listen, we needed help offensively, so I mean,
• 26:52
  Speaker 2: I'll take it, you know, especially that when you know
• 26:56
  Speaker 2: how to he was out. You know those two, know
• 26:58
  Speaker 2: you have those two games there and behind him, Yovich
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: was basically a pyelon on the pitch. So seeing that
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: fresh Budy in Tommy coming in, I think, is you know,
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: it's been big so far. I mean, listen, it's a
• 27:12
  Speaker 2: small sample size and I'm not going to put it
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: too much into it, but I just didn't expect him
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: to have that that spirit and that that fight, like
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: pretty much from moment one. I thought he would take
• 27:24
  Speaker 2: a bit more to get like ease in and stuff.
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: So for me, it's a positive with let's hope you
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: know that this type of spirit you know, is contagious,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: you know, to to all melon players and uh and
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: and and country stuff alike. And yeah, it just like
• 27:40
  Speaker 2: I said, it's it could only be up from here
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: if they continue plaint like this.
• 27:45
  Speaker 1: Adrian, you know, I like quizzes on the show, right, Yeah?
• 27:51
  Speaker 1: So six times inter uh six times in a row?
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: Inter beat me line from four different competitions, sorry, three
• 28:01
  Speaker 1: different competitions. That one's easy city, Yeah.
• 28:05
  Speaker 2: Continue Champions League and uh no.
• 28:10
  Speaker 1: Super Copa, super CoA, super Cula. Do you know the
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: last time Milan beat Inter the three?
• 28:16
  Speaker 2: It was the three two? I forget year it was?
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: Was it the schoolIn idiot?
• 28:24
  Speaker 1: It was September twenty twenty two, So well that's a
• 28:29
  Speaker 1: year someone wants to every year. Yeah, uh yeah, do
• 28:34
  Speaker 1: you know who? Do you know who scored the goals
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: from me?
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: On that day. I know they all scored. Uh it
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: was it was twice, it was yeah, it was a
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: hell of a goal. He went through I think the
• 28:44
  Speaker 2: rye and screen yard and curled the top, top corner.
• 28:49
  Speaker 2: He scored twice. The the other goal, that's tough. It
• 28:55
  Speaker 2: wasn't he bro was it? No, no, no, give me position.
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: It was another striker. It was also in we match
• 29:05
  Speaker 1: week five of the City.
• 29:08
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, I think I put him on, putting
• 29:11
  Speaker 2: me on the spot. Now another striker, I don't know.
• 29:18
  Speaker 3: Probably yeah, exactly.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: Of course, on the other side, Jamie character like would.
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: You would.
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: Uh so yeah, looking at the City at table after
• 29:38
  Speaker 1: uh this weekend, it's it's funny. So now intern meal
• 29:41
  Speaker 1: and actually tied and they're in six and seventh. Okay, guys,
• 29:46
  Speaker 1: I know it's only match week five, but if you
• 29:49
  Speaker 1: told us at the beginning of the season that the
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: top seven would be right now after five weeks would
• 29:54
  Speaker 1: be to Reno not Puly, you didn't a Juve and
• 29:58
  Speaker 1: ply inter and then Milan crazy to go back to
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the looney e bin.
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: Yeah, nobody would have believed you.
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: I think, in the words of Jack Edwards, who has
• 30:07
  Speaker 3: more fun than us, in context, but who has more
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: fun than us?
• 30:13
  Speaker 2: No? But you know what, it's it's exciting because it's
• 30:15
  Speaker 2: a lot closer than I think. I think last year.
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: I don't think last year was maybe after maybe after
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: five matches it was closed. But you know, with the
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: inter running away with it. You know, now we're running
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: away with it. It's it's pretty refreshing to see that.
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: It's a it's a you know, a tighter race so
• 30:31
  Speaker 2: far this season. Yeah.
• 30:33
  Speaker 1: And and you know what, like I know, we talked
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: about all the time with these teams that kind of come,
• 30:39
  Speaker 1: you know, out of the blue with a good start,
• 30:42
  Speaker 1: and this time it's Torino, Udina's and Emple. So it's
• 30:44
  Speaker 1: interesting because it's three teams. You know, there's always that
• 30:46
  Speaker 1: one team.
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: Guys.
• 30:47
  Speaker 1: I remember when Spaull had a great start. I think
• 30:49
  Speaker 1: it was the first year we did we did the podcast,
• 30:52
  Speaker 1: was the.
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: Eighteen that was yeah, yeah, oh my god.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: He was a striker there and then they got sell
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: Tonopoli when they went down. I couldn't stand.
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: It was a beast.
• 31:07
  Speaker 3: He was a yeah, he was a beast that taking penalties,
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: that's all.
• 31:10
  Speaker 2: He was good meat remembers there between the sticks.
• 31:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I think they're in City. She Now, I think
• 31:19
  Speaker 1: I think they're City cheat.
• 31:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's actually spossible.
• 31:23
  Speaker 1: I think they play yes, City, that's crazy.
• 31:27
  Speaker 2: I think there is a group I think as well.
• 31:32
  Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken. Maybe I'm wrong, but this.
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: Up that that would make sense. Yeah, they're yeah, in
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: group B with Cambobaso, with Piscata Milan. Yeah, but so
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: that's interesting. So it's interesting.
• 31:49
  Speaker 2: City.
• 31:50
  Speaker 1: It's split into three regional groups and uh, you got North,
• 31:55
  Speaker 1: Central and South, but you've a next gen is in
• 31:59
  Speaker 1: the cell olding group.
• 32:01
  Speaker 2: Make the already knows.
• 32:10
  Speaker 1: But that's a lot of traveling on on young guys
• 32:13
  Speaker 1: on on that team. But well, I mean spells and
• 32:16
  Speaker 1: they're in the north center North Where are they actually.
• 32:23
  Speaker 2: Romania? Kay?
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: No, the center one. It's a bit more spread out,
• 32:30
  Speaker 1: but like geographically, geographically if you look at the map,
• 32:35
  Speaker 1: it makes sense. Yeah, but city chief, guys, we don't
• 32:38
  Speaker 1: need to talk about city and chi.
• 32:39
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: But have you guys seen any of these games?
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: You guys?
• 32:46
  Speaker 1: Uh, what's a new quote?
• 32:47
  Speaker 2: If I only Yeah, he's been top he got Manager
• 32:54
  Speaker 2: of the Month in September.
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: And if I'm not mistaken, this is his his first
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: city coaching job, right, Is.
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: It him that came from Was it Vansa you said,
• 33:05
  Speaker 2: Nick or somebody or.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: Yeah, oh yeah we spoke. We spoke about it in
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: the past.
• 33:10
  Speaker 2: Yeah.
• 33:10
  Speaker 1: So, you know what, I respect this and I like
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: this because it's a guy. It's his first city a job. Sometimes,
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: you know, you look at someone like Pierlow who got
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: his first job and you know what, he did a
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: decent job. Uh you good, he did a good job
• 33:25
  Speaker 1: with you. But you know what, I like that Torino
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: is not recycling coaches. How many of the same guys
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: do we see over and over and over again, you know,
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: just being recycled across the city and and Torino was
• 33:37
  Speaker 1: a team who did that too, with so many different coaches.
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: And finally they bring in a guy with new ideas,
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: a new coach, a rookie coach, and hey, after five
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: weeks back on top for the first time. I was
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: it since the seventies or something that they're that they're
• 33:54
  Speaker 1: in first, Like maybe I could be mistaken about that,
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: but uh yeah, that's great. You know, even you Denay
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: say they have that German coach. Look look you know
• 34:04
  Speaker 1: where look where he's he's brought them so far again
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: I know only five games, but like, these teams are
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: already on track. Let's say they finish top ten unless
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: they have an epic collapse. You know, they have a
• 34:16
  Speaker 1: good start. If they play let's say five hundred soccer
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: the rest of the season, they'll finish top ten and
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: they'll be happy with that.
• 34:22
  Speaker 3: Well yeah, if if if you're Todinos is sures Is
• 34:26
  Speaker 3: trying to you know, rebuild itself back from the years
• 34:28
  Speaker 3: of the natalitey, trying to be you know, trying to
• 34:31
  Speaker 3: be a consistent like not as if they weren't like
• 34:33
  Speaker 3: a consistent top team before, but they really want to
• 34:36
  Speaker 3: have that confidence again of being like, yeah, every season
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: we're guaranteed in the top ten, even a team that
• 34:41
  Speaker 3: could probably fight for the like one of the European spots. Like,
• 34:45
  Speaker 3: I think they basically want to get back to that
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: form because they've been there before and they know they
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: can get back to that point. So I think that's
• 34:52
  Speaker 3: basically the mentality of the club right now Todino. It's
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: very nice and refreshing to see. Is it still the
• 34:59
  Speaker 3: same ownership group as when they used to have Bilottikito.
• 35:06
  Speaker 1: And I'm pretty sure it's so Kido the president.
• 35:10
  Speaker 3: So that's that's the m Yeah, because if if to
• 35:15
  Speaker 3: you know, let's say, has a great season this year,
• 35:18
  Speaker 3: can we say confidently that that group that that's managing
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: them will be able to maintain maintain them for like
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: next seasons to come in like staying in the top
• 35:29
  Speaker 3: half the table or staying like in that top quarter
• 35:33
  Speaker 3: let's say that top.
• 35:34
  Speaker 2: They have to invest. I think they have to continue
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: to invest. I think you know, they're their biggest down.
• 35:39
  Speaker 2: They could have they could have cashed it on belt.
• 35:41
  Speaker 3: We all know it, right, and they messed up, and
• 35:43
  Speaker 3: you think they learned from it. But let's say, do
• 35:45
  Speaker 3: you think they learned from that lesson?
• 35:47
  Speaker 2: Well, we'll have to see. But I think if they
• 35:49
  Speaker 2: I don't think on their roster right now, who they
• 35:53
  Speaker 2: like Besideschi that I think if he continues on on
• 35:56
  Speaker 2: a on a on a path that we saw with
• 35:57
  Speaker 2: the national team and and and really for who would
• 36:01
  Speaker 2: be their biggest sale? Che potentially, But it.
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: Does sometimes have to be like the biggest sales. Sometimes
• 36:06
  Speaker 3: you can have a bunch of good small amounts, you know,
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: to just to build up Alan Napoli. Napoli got to
• 36:10
  Speaker 3: where they were by basically buying players cheap, flipping them
• 36:13
  Speaker 3: for like a decent like like a five million dollar player.
• 36:17
  Speaker 3: That's a five million euro player that you bought, that
• 36:18
  Speaker 3: you sold for twenty million euros. That's a four hundred
• 36:21
  Speaker 3: percent profit right there. You know, it's obviously in a
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: grand scheme of things, it's just fifteen million, but those
• 36:26
  Speaker 3: little amounts then you then you use that twenty million
• 36:29
  Speaker 3: to buy more and more and more. Obviously if you
• 36:31
  Speaker 3: if you're competent enough with you're scouting, you.
• 36:34
  Speaker 2: Know, yeah, no, no, not to compare. It's always tough
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: to compare. But I think in not Polas cases like
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: the diamonds and the rubs that they found, they really
• 36:44
  Speaker 2: they really grew and they really up their their market
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: value big time over the years, and they really, I
• 36:51
  Speaker 2: don't know, they were important pieces and there was a
• 36:53
  Speaker 2: multitude of them, and it was a constant thing. Like
• 36:55
  Speaker 2: I don't know if Totino's at that point right like
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: just yet, yes, they might have some some pieces to
• 37:00
  Speaker 2: the flip like you said, I bought cheap or had
• 37:04
  Speaker 2: on had on cheap and can kind of you know
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: flip for you know, uh, you know, like you said
• 37:09
  Speaker 2: five for twenty or what have you. But I don't
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: know they the cases of Napoli it was, or even Atlanta,
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: let's say, in recent times, it's been like hit after
• 37:21
  Speaker 2: hit after hit pretty like for the most part, like Atalanta's.
• 37:25
  Speaker 2: Like I thought I could make like two starting elevens
• 37:28
  Speaker 2: of players that they had either in the system or
• 37:31
  Speaker 2: or they bought cheap and they flipped for for for
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: huge sums of money. And did those players always amount
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: to what they were supposed to be? Sometimes yes, sometimes no,
• 37:39
  Speaker 2: But the list like really goes on like those two
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: teams I think in Atalanta in recent memory. I guess
• 37:46
  Speaker 2: we can go back and and really dive deep into this.
• 37:48
  Speaker 2: But you know, in recent memory, the Knapolis and the
• 37:50
  Speaker 2: Atlantas of the world that were able to, you know,
• 37:53
  Speaker 2: bring in guys that nobody knew, uh you know, really
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: train them and really uh you know, make them flourish
• 37:59
  Speaker 2: and grow within their clubs and then flip them for
• 38:01
  Speaker 2: a profit. I think there's no better teams than them too.
• 38:04
  Speaker 2: As of wait is to Reno there, I don't know
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: just yet maybe, but I think I don't think right
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: now they have enough pieces to kind of do that,
• 38:14
  Speaker 2: But if they want, they would have to start and
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: hopefully they learned, like Johnny said, they learned that lesson
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: of not selling Bilotti when they had the chance one
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: hundred million. Guys, a team like Tourno, if they had
• 38:23
  Speaker 2: that hundred million back then, who knows how they would
• 38:26
  Speaker 2: have spent it. It's all relative. We don't know, but
• 38:30
  Speaker 2: teams are out there were Maybe they weren't going to
• 38:33
  Speaker 2: pull the trigger on one hundred million. Maybe it would
• 38:35
  Speaker 2: end up being like anywhere between seventy five and eighty five.
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: But still for a team like Torino at that time,
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: was that In the later teams, that's a huge summer
• 38:45
  Speaker 2: of money they could have invested in different areas and whatnot.
• 38:49
  Speaker 2: But yeah, I don't know. I just don't know if
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: they're there yet, but I think sober surely if they
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: want to continue on this, they have to continue to
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: invest in and continue to have new ideas. And you
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: know one thing that Carol did smart is bringing this
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: guy Vanoi and you know, a modern coach and new
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: ideas like Nick said, and uh, you know, really, so
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: far in the first month of Sidia, coach of the
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: month has this has his team in first place, has
• 39:18
  Speaker 2: some young and and experience, I think in his team,
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: you know is you know, got like up there Tony Sanabria. Uh,
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: you know our two names that are a bit older
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: but still are I think our Sia quality that can
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: still produce at a decent to high level. You know,
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: you have Vana between the sticks that has always been
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: stellar and always been you know, solid enough and like
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: I said, Rici in the airfield amongst others, that is
• 39:43
  Speaker 2: it can really be a promising Italian star in the future,
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: in the present and in the future. So we'll see.
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: I think only time hotel for Torino. But you know,
• 39:52
  Speaker 2: so far, so good. If you know, if you're a Torino.
• 39:54
  Speaker 1: Fan looking at some other results from a around the
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: city this past weekend, up to nothing cality Torino. They
• 40:04
  Speaker 1: got the win against Front of three to two. Venetzia.
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: I'd almost say an upset win against Genoa to nothing,
• 40:11
  Speaker 1: just because Genoa, you know, they've had a good start
• 40:13
  Speaker 1: to this season. Leche Parma to two in a game
• 40:16
  Speaker 1: that was put on the Saturday at two forty five
• 40:19
  Speaker 1: that some people criticize and then and it ended up
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: being a better game than Youvanopoly. F're in Tina bi
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: Lazo two to one, a Roma crazy crazy situation because Jenny,
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: I don't think when we recorded last week, I don't
• 40:33
  Speaker 1: think there was the Rossi still coach. Yes he was,
• 40:36
  Speaker 1: he was still coach, so we haven't talked about that, Jenny.
• 40:39
  Speaker 1: Uh So he gets fired. They bring in Torino somer
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: coach Evan Yurich and they come out and win against
• 40:45
  Speaker 1: the former leaders in Udinese three nothing, a game in
• 40:49
  Speaker 1: which the fans weren't there, was it the first thirty minutes?
• 40:52
  Speaker 1: The first half, they weren't there for thirty minutes?
• 40:56
  Speaker 2: Was it? Yeah?
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: Yeah, the at least the Ultras. And then they come
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: out and win three nothink wlsome no Vic, Dibala and Baldanzi.
• 41:07
  Speaker 1: Uh So, I mean I know it. They often say,
• 41:12
  Speaker 1: firing coach, you got you know, you get the new coach.
• 41:14
  Speaker 1: Uh the blip there? Uh, you know, players come out
• 41:18
  Speaker 1: well for one game. So we'll see how this continues.
• 41:20
  Speaker 1: I think they played the Europa League.
• 41:22
  Speaker 2: Is it tomorrow?
• 41:24
  Speaker 1: But Jenny, first of all, give us your thoughts on
• 41:26
  Speaker 1: this hold the Rossi situation and were you surprised with
• 41:29
  Speaker 1: the win this weekend?
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: So yeah, I mean ish, I kind of feel like
• 41:35
  Speaker 3: as if like teams usually do that whenever a coach
• 41:39
  Speaker 3: gets fired and gets replaced, whether like whatever circumstance it
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: may be, it's unfortunate players always come out and try
• 41:47
  Speaker 3: to give out their best performances just to reassure the
• 41:49
  Speaker 3: fans that hey, you know, like it's not us type
• 41:54
  Speaker 3: of thing. But it wasn't this in this scenario. It's
• 41:58
  Speaker 3: not about them saying it's not a as a big
• 42:01
  Speaker 3: like f you two do, Assi. It's more like, we
• 42:03
  Speaker 3: know we could have been better. We'll show you how
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: much better we can be. And they delivered. Mind you,
• 42:09
  Speaker 3: Dibala's you know, a little penalty box play there, a
• 42:12
  Speaker 3: bit of a but you know what, But besides that,
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: the team played phenomenally well.
• 42:20
  Speaker 1: Everyone knew.
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: The fans knew that that Assi was put in a
• 42:23
  Speaker 3: position to fail. Uh, you know, he was put in it.
• 42:27
  Speaker 3: He was given much more than he could handle. But
• 42:29
  Speaker 3: he tried his best.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 42:30
  Speaker 3: But the fans weren't happy with the way his firing went.
• 42:35
  Speaker 3: That it was just abrupt, and the rumors had it
• 42:39
  Speaker 3: because like he made a comment about what the CEO
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: was wearing or something, or which she made a comment
• 42:45
  Speaker 3: about him when he was wearing or something. It just
• 42:47
  Speaker 3: exclated and she fired him. And obviously uh Lina sou
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: so loku soluku, she's she's Greek. I don't know if
• 42:57
  Speaker 3: I'm pronouncing that properly, but essentially probably.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: A couple. I mean, sorry, h kids, cover your ears.
• 43:11
  Speaker 3: Uh No, she she had to be put like fans were,
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: like ownership was worried about giving her like extended security
• 43:21
  Speaker 3: coverage because fans we're starting to make comments after the
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: Dossie situation, because you don't disrespect the club legend like that.
• 43:29
  Speaker 3: If you're going to fire him and let him go,
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: you do it with grace. You don't do it like that,
• 43:32
  Speaker 3: especially somebody who gave his literal, literal blood, sweat and
• 43:37
  Speaker 3: tears for the club like that. Pitch has his DNA
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: dripped on it, you know, so.
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: You don't.
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: You don't do that to somebody like that. So she
• 43:49
  Speaker 3: she stepped down. I think it's best as well that
• 43:52
  Speaker 3: she stepped down. Uh And the Freakins released the statements
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: stating that we're we're gonna try to make things better.
• 43:57
  Speaker 3: We want things to be better, hold on anything, we
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: want things to be better. So I'm happy with that.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: I'm happy that there's statements made by the club and
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: there's some transparency with that. Uh, if Sea leaves me
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: a lane that Ussi's available.
• 44:10
  Speaker 2: AGI took Tommy. I think that all see, all due respect,
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: I loved it. Ospital We'll keep him on the sideline.
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's even Toby's getting involved right now with the conversations.
• 44:20
  Speaker 3: We hear the you know every time I have to
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: talk everything. Uh, but yeah, great performance by Roma. Dolf
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: Bick is starting to pay some dividends, slowly, slowly. I
• 44:32
  Speaker 3: guess you have to trickle and I guess you have
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: to get settled in. I think it was Nick who said,
• 44:35
  Speaker 3: just gives all big time, let him get settled. So
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: it's nice to see that.
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: And it was.
• 44:40
  Speaker 3: It was a pretty good, like overall team affair in
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: that game. It was it wasn't just a one man show.
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: Everybody played very well, got involved. I don't think there
• 44:52
  Speaker 3: was there was one player that would like, I would say,
• 44:54
  Speaker 3: like it was really like big, bigger than the other.
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: But you know, Baldanzi, you know, great, great time for
• 45:03
  Speaker 3: him to get a goal. I was kind of I
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: was kind of worried if they were going to call back,
• 45:07
  Speaker 3: they call that back because there might have been a
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: handball not played, but I guess they said, ah, well,
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: you know what play advantage, give him the and the
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: twenty rod Mual gets his goal, you know, so very
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: very big moment for him.
• 45:19
  Speaker 2: It's very nice first his first goal.
• 45:21
  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, and uh in about like in the twenty
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: something appearances, but like he never started anything, right, so
• 45:28
  Speaker 3: we have to like, you know, like to bump the
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: brakes on that or like like don't don't don't don't
• 45:33
  Speaker 3: crap on him. But yeah, I'm it's nice to see,
• 45:38
  Speaker 3: you know, a little green marker next to Roma's name.
• 45:42
  Speaker 3: Whenever you look at the standings to see that green
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: w icon, you know, they finally get they finally got
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: the win after so many frustrating results and so many
• 45:50
  Speaker 3: silly draws. H And it's nice to actually get more
• 45:55
  Speaker 3: than one goal in a game. Uh, you know, five games,
• 46:00
  Speaker 3: five goals.
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: Hey, we're getting up there.
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: It's a goal for game. We're bringing up that average.
• 46:05
  Speaker 3: That's that's that's really big. You know, they're no longer
• 46:07
  Speaker 3: the lowest scoring team in the city. So uh, that's
• 46:12
  Speaker 3: that's reassuring.
• 46:13
  Speaker 2: At least. I like to you know what you said
• 46:16
  Speaker 2: for bout done Zee. I think that was huge first city,
• 46:18
  Speaker 2: I go, you know, for a young young kid finally
• 46:20
  Speaker 2: getting in a moment to shine. I think for Roma finally,
• 46:24
  Speaker 2: I think he needs to be on the pitch more.
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: I don't know, I would like to see him more
• 46:27
  Speaker 2: on the pitch. Very you know, young, like I said,
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: young Italian talent. He's done amazing with what the U
• 46:35
  Speaker 2: twenty ones or the nineteens whatever he's been playing with
• 46:38
  Speaker 2: U twenty one. Yeah, you know, wearing the number ten
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: for really at the U twenty one level has has
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: always has pretty much always stepped up for them. And
• 46:48
  Speaker 2: you know, seeing him a Roma making that jump from
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: employ to Roma needs I need, we need to see
• 46:52
  Speaker 2: him more on the pitch. He's a young talent and
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: and and really happy for him to get for him
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: getting his first goal uh in Sidia, which which was huge.
• 47:00
  Speaker 2: But Johnny, you know all this to say, you know,
• 47:02
  Speaker 2: we kind of spoke a lot about the drowsy and out.
• 47:04
  Speaker 2: Now it's unfortunately out, you know, we lose another legend
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: of the game outside of the other. But were you
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: surprised it was Yurich the name or or what I
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: was it was?
• 47:17
  Speaker 3: It was it was something definitely that I felt like
• 47:20
  Speaker 3: as if it was just like, oh, they just like
• 47:23
  Speaker 3: they just look at the first name that they had
• 47:25
  Speaker 3: on the list of somebody who's out said experience in
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: bomb it's it's Hurdie. It's it's like weird.
• 47:30
  Speaker 1: It was weird.
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: I'm like, oh, okay, I I really you know, like
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: at first I had bad vibes. It's good to get
• 47:40
  Speaker 3: a W on the first game, but you know, it's
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: it's it's and especially it's it's against a tough opponent. Now,
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: I think there were a bit on a very hot
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: streak to start the season, but there's still a good
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: team and she stuffed to respect but curious to see
• 47:56
  Speaker 3: how he decides to plan or other opponents. For lack
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: of a better term, do I I will say though,
• 48:09
  Speaker 3: the reason why I'm kind of hesitant to talk about
• 48:10
  Speaker 3: it is like I don't really have the biggest confidence
• 48:13
  Speaker 3: in him. Though maybe you can convince me wrong, you know,
• 48:16
  Speaker 3: but his track record, you know, like I could be
• 48:19
  Speaker 3: proven like it's not the greatest if I'm not mistaken
• 48:23
  Speaker 3: and said he as a manager, I can't. I can't
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: really think of a time where he really stuck out.
• 48:28
  Speaker 2: I think he's like mid tier, Like I don't think
• 48:30
  Speaker 2: he's low tier. I don't think he's high like the
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: upper tier. I think he's pretty mid tier. If you like,
• 48:36
  Speaker 2: he's gotten the results, he's he's had moments and he
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: gets some fights with you know, ownership or or or
• 48:41
  Speaker 2: presidents and you know kind of whatever. Yeah, like he's good,
• 48:45
  Speaker 2: Like don't get me wrong, but.
• 48:46
  Speaker 3: Like I don't know, like yeah, like I have I
• 48:48
  Speaker 3: have some numbers here, like like with Todino, like he
• 48:51
  Speaker 3: hasn't managed in say, uh just managed in general about
• 48:54
  Speaker 3: three seas in three years. Uh yeah. And then with
• 48:58
  Speaker 3: with Torino his average points per game was one point four,
• 49:02
  Speaker 3: you know, and that was that. And then Kroton he
• 49:05
  Speaker 3: had a one point ninety six, but they only had
• 49:06
  Speaker 3: forty six game forty five games of that sample size.
• 49:09
  Speaker 1: So that's the thing.
• 49:09
  Speaker 3: Like Yodich himself, you know, he's not gonna be the
• 49:11
  Speaker 3: guy that's gonna get you to the next level. He's
• 49:18
  Speaker 3: more of a stay of the course type of thing.
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: Which if you're the free kinds and this is your
• 49:21
  Speaker 3: plan to just have Yodich maintain a hold until until summer, Okay,
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: I'll accept that and I'll ride the wave with you guys.
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: I just don't want it to be another monopoly last
• 49:34
  Speaker 3: season to Roma's this season with managers. If you understand
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: the coaches, Yeah, we're just spirals out of control. I'm
• 49:44
  Speaker 3: not looking forward to another season of one of my
• 49:46
  Speaker 3: teams going through that. So that's where I say I
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: don't have that much confidence in yodicch But you know,
• 49:53
  Speaker 3: if you can maintain course, if he's able to get Roma, Like,
• 49:56
  Speaker 3: here's the thing now with this, do I expect Roma
• 49:59
  Speaker 3: to try to make a push for Champions League? Not
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: at all. I'll be like, it's not at all. Now
• 50:03
  Speaker 3: my my expectations have been tempered a bit. Uh be nice,
• 50:07
  Speaker 3: just the mainstay, just to maintain in the top half
• 50:09
  Speaker 3: of the table. Hey, if you could squeeze into like
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: seventh plus, sure, but I wouldn't be pissed off if
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: they get eighth. Given the fact where it's like, okay, well,
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: this is the manager of the situation and this is
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: what they're going they get higher than that, that's they
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: they really blew beyond expectations. But that's also worrisome because
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: it's like, oh, yeah, they're probably gonna keep you at
• 50:29
  Speaker 3: your and then it's like, well, maybe that's not a
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: good idea, but it's neither here nor there yet right now.
• 50:34
  Speaker 3: This is what the current result was not. Not not
• 50:38
  Speaker 3: angry about it, not sad about it. It's more of
• 50:41
  Speaker 3: a more of a okay, well just make sure you
• 50:45
  Speaker 3: get results waiting.
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: See Yeah.
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: And last last game I want to talk about this
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: was an interesting one. Uh Como beat at Talanta three two.
• 50:56
  Speaker 1: So you know, Como's a talking of the city. I
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: coming in Jenny and predicted them to finish top ten.
• 51:01
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: So they were supposed to play on Monday, it was
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: rained out. They play on Tuesday instead and Como wins.
• 51:08
  Speaker 1: So you know, three to two score line, it's closer
• 51:11
  Speaker 1: than it actually was. It was a ninety ninth minute
• 51:13
  Speaker 1: penalty from look mean that maeted three to two. Besides
• 51:16
  Speaker 1: that was it was.
• 51:17
  Speaker 3: It was three one.
• 51:18
  Speaker 1: Atlanta actually scored first with Apa Costa, Strefetza Kolesnich and
• 51:24
  Speaker 1: then Fadeta scored for for Como. So Como was in
• 51:27
  Speaker 1: headlines for another reason this week, with Varian retiring after
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: playing I think twenty five minutes or thirty one minutes
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: all season, so he retires from football. I think he
• 51:36
  Speaker 1: was thirty one years old. But Como you know, this
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: is a team. We talked about it after the match
• 51:43
  Speaker 1: week one, like there's so many new faces that it
• 51:46
  Speaker 1: might take some time in Uh, they're they're kind of
• 51:50
  Speaker 1: you know, coming into their own now. I know they're
• 51:53
  Speaker 1: still in fifteenth, but you know, they won this week,
• 51:56
  Speaker 1: they drew the week, drew the week before. So this
• 51:59
  Speaker 1: is a team that, hey, if if Johnny wants has
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: finished top ten, they're gonna have to get the results
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: against these bigger teams.
• 52:05
  Speaker 2: It's crazy. It's their first win in Sadaya, so that
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: that's a that's a huge moment for CMO and and
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: for the club and you know for their fans. Check Fabrigas, Uh,
• 52:15
  Speaker 2: hell of a job in Ceitia B to get them
• 52:16
  Speaker 2: to this point and finally getting his first SETI I
• 52:19
  Speaker 2: win is another another another plus for them. And yeah, man,
• 52:23
  Speaker 2: like you said, and we we also touched upon when
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: we previewed the year, a lot of their faces, a
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: lot of crazy transfers, a team that kind of it
• 52:33
  Speaker 2: seemed like they were pulling the Manza really taking got
• 52:36
  Speaker 2: like some guys like from here, some guys from there
• 52:38
  Speaker 2: experience you guys you have like guys like you know
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: obviously now he's retired. I think I heard he might
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: still stick around with the club in a different role.
• 52:48
  Speaker 2: But Dan, you know, World Cup champion on your team,
• 52:52
  Speaker 2: like Sergio Roberto, like some of these, some of these
• 52:55
  Speaker 2: players like you know Pepe Arena, like it just it's
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: just crazy. So, you know, talking about Bilotti before Bilotti
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: is now a Como player. You know, you have, you know,
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: captaining the side in Kutron was was was on Lechen
• 53:14
  Speaker 2: and had some some some good moments. So just a
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: mish mash of players which sometimes can not always be
• 53:21
  Speaker 2: the best format for for results, especially for a team
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: just coming into Setia from Ceti of b SO. But
• 53:27
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know, it's what we'll have to see.
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: The Johnny's predition to start the season, it wasn't looking
• 53:34
  Speaker 2: too good, you know. Gaining the result against Atalanta, you know,
• 53:38
  Speaker 2: it's huge. That's that's a big win. Not only for
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: your only a big win, but for your being at
• 53:43
  Speaker 2: your first win in Setiah that's makes it even sweeter.
• 53:46
  Speaker 2: So you know, congrats to them. But we're gonna have
• 53:50
  Speaker 2: to see a lot more from Como if they really
• 53:51
  Speaker 2: want to finish in that top ten, because like I said,
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: I think this year that you know, the competition is
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: is that much better, that much deeper. And you know,
• 54:00
  Speaker 2: if these teams really want to, you know, get into
• 54:03
  Speaker 2: positions that they've never seen before, they're really gonna have
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: to fight hard. We'll see if Tomo has it in them.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: But you know, just on this result alone against Atlanta. Uh,
• 54:14
  Speaker 2: and I'm pretty sure it was in my I'm mistaken
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: on saying that it was in right again, right, yeah,
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: it was in. So first I went on the road, Uh,
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: you know, hell of a goal by two with the
• 54:28
  Speaker 2: vacul assystem I stage Roberto. If you guys didn't see that,
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: go on to Sadias, Uh, you know, socials, it was
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: all over. But yeah, just one building block, would see
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: if they can continue to build. Uh.
• 54:43
  Speaker 1: And uh, the last thing I want to talk about
• 54:48
  Speaker 1: your your beliegue today. Uh kind of under the radar
• 54:53
  Speaker 1: lots who ended up winning three nothing against uh the
• 54:57
  Speaker 1: two goals actually uh both team has got a red carton,
• 55:01
  Speaker 1: which is actually pretty funny. Yeah, Neusland for for loatso
• 55:06
  Speaker 1: three nothing win and then Roma placed tomorrow against Bill
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: Bob Johnny.
• 55:10
  Speaker 2: I know we just you know, just just.
• 55:12
  Speaker 1: Spoken about Roma. Do you have any expectations for this game.
• 55:16
  Speaker 1: I mean, that was probably a tough team to judge,
• 55:18
  Speaker 1: but you know, they come from the Spanish League, which
• 55:20
  Speaker 1: historically it's always been tough for city teams to to
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: to play against in these competitions.
• 55:32
  Speaker 3: It's like I said, I just went off on the
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: rant about the whole Driddich thing. You know, it's.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Now we really don't know what to expect, Like, yeah,
• 55:40
  Speaker 2: we didn't think. We didn't think it was gonna be
• 55:42
  Speaker 2: you facing bill Bao. Yeah, it's a different story now.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's the first time they ever meet in any
• 55:49
  Speaker 3: kind of like major competition. So uh I, I really
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: don't have much to tell you. But in European competition
• 56:00
  Speaker 3: as Roma has been better, but that's also been under Mourinho.
• 56:04
  Speaker 3: At least they're playing at home tomorrow at the Olympicos,
• 56:06
  Speaker 3: so Yodic has the chance of having a squad build
• 56:09
  Speaker 3: some confidence for those type of competition under him at home.
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: I guess it can makes it like it makes it
• 56:18
  Speaker 3: just a little easier because they're going to come in
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: with the nerves, not the Roma themselves. And I think
• 56:25
  Speaker 3: now the lineup is starting to kind of like like
• 56:27
  Speaker 3: the team themselves like it's starting to kind of like
• 56:29
  Speaker 3: buy in and believe in themselves. And they and and
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: I think they know that they're capable of getting results
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: and that they have a good roster. They just need
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: to capitalize the finish on their chances. Like I think
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: Dovvik is starting to find the strides, and if he
• 56:41
  Speaker 3: continues to keep up with his current form, I think
• 56:45
  Speaker 3: that he could be a very big difference maker in
• 56:46
  Speaker 3: his game.
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: He's a player that and he's a player that knows
• 56:49
  Speaker 2: billbol right, coming from coming from the Spanish league, if
• 56:52
  Speaker 2: I'm not mistaken, right, So yeah, maybe that you know
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: that could be using his advantage in their advantage. I'm
• 56:58
  Speaker 2: predicting that they're going to win either say one nothing
• 57:01
  Speaker 2: or a two to one. I'm saying that right now.
• 57:03
  Speaker 2: I know Johnny undecided, but that's.
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: What I'm saying, Uh, especially after playing this weekend. I
• 57:11
  Speaker 3: could I could see it.
• 57:12
  Speaker 2: Well you're superstitious, Johnny, Sorry you want to s Yeah,
• 57:15
  Speaker 2: I could.
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: But I could see it to one win.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: Like I.
• 57:17
  Speaker 1: I wouldn't be opposed to it, like I of course not.
• 57:23
  Speaker 3: I could see it too, would win, especially playing that
• 57:25
  Speaker 3: home against the Bows. So but it's like I said,
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: we just mentioned the point about Dove Big having that,
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: you know, previous experience and because a lot of lega
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: and stuff.
• 57:35
  Speaker 2: Uh well, I see.
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: The thing is I think he still plays the full rock. Actually,
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: would you still play the full roster? Probably?
• 57:42
  Speaker 2: Who do they so they play tomorrow? They play about
• 57:45
  Speaker 2: who they play on the weekend like you guys.
• 57:47
  Speaker 3: They played, They played with the nize, but they played
• 57:49
  Speaker 3: their pretty much their top lineup.
• 57:50
  Speaker 2: Like no, no, I know, I know they put in,
• 57:52
  Speaker 2: but who they play, who's coming up for them? Who
• 57:54
  Speaker 2: they have coming up?
• 57:55
  Speaker 3: Oh that next game?
• 57:56
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 57:56
  Speaker 3: Let me double check fixtures round match day six venets Yeah,
• 58:03
  Speaker 3: so yeah, you know what you can still you can
• 58:05
  Speaker 3: still play your roster and against Vanetsia you put a
• 58:09
  Speaker 3: weaker roster. Uh so yeah, I can feel confidence saying
• 58:13
  Speaker 3: that walks away with the win with with the win
• 58:15
  Speaker 3: in this game, uh you know, and and and it's
• 58:19
  Speaker 3: that it's a momentum builder because you just want to
• 58:21
  Speaker 3: if you win this game, you want to under a
• 58:23
  Speaker 3: row under Yodic and you just changed the tone of
• 58:25
  Speaker 3: a season in the span of two games. It's it's
• 58:29
  Speaker 3: it's a very it's a very key game. It's a
• 58:31
  Speaker 3: very crucial game. Even though it's only a match Day one,
• 58:33
  Speaker 3: it's a it's a very big game.
• 58:39
  Speaker 1: Guys, cope itally tomorrow. This is an interesting game. Palermo
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: monopotly rather than aptly Palermo. I like that Cope tally is.
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: Actually I think this first year that they're doing it
• 58:48
  Speaker 1: so early. I wasn't still the round of thirty two.
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: Oh yeah, sorry, yes, you're right.
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's around the thirty two Well technically not
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: because some teams already have already in the round of sixteen,
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: so it's not like it's all thirty two teams are
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: playing now. But anyways, it's called the second round. Today
• 59:09
  Speaker 1: there was Derby Dela Lanterna, which was favorite of ours
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: when it was in the city. Genoa Sa Samda came
• 59:16
  Speaker 1: out on top of the Pelly win uh other surprising results.
• 59:21
  Speaker 1: City of B team so Swallow beat Leche to nothing
• 59:24
  Speaker 1: in les uh Cality actually squeaked out a win, so
• 59:27
  Speaker 1: maybe it was thanks to their mascot. They beat criminals.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Got them across the finishlane.
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: I think that's that's my favorite storyline in the city
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: this year, that.
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: Scot the mascot is so good.
• 59:42
  Speaker 2: What is it again? Is it? Yeah?
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: Just okay, I've missed up. For those viewers that don't
• 59:52
  Speaker 3: know what we're talking about. Uh, it was the two
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: weeks ago when when General loss Los sorry calli Jersey
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 3: Colors mixed me up, Galli lost. You know, the players
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 3: went to go face the you know, the ultrust, you know,
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 3: as a way of like taking it like, yeah, we
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: don't played by game, you know, let's let's accept their
• 1:00:12
  Speaker 3: faith in our punishment. The mascot goes as well, he's
• 1:00:18
  Speaker 3: just standing there awkwardly with the whole.
• 1:00:21
  Speaker 2: Big goofy, a big goofy flamingo with the Kladi shirt
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 2: on and like.
• 1:00:25
  Speaker 3: A black calf.
• 1:00:28
  Speaker 2: Like city.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 3: On Twitter, oh my god, the all the Italian mean
• 1:00:33
  Speaker 3: pages were on fire with it.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: It was so good.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: Actually win for.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: Them, Yeah they won one nothing against uh criminals that
• 1:00:44
  Speaker 1: you say, Labadula scored to Reno. They lost against Embly,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: so maybe they were maybe they were benching some of
• 1:00:52
  Speaker 1: their their regular starters. That's that's a struggle with these teams.
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 1: You know, they don't have a lot of depth for
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 1: this competition. Beat cellar Anitana or in Si City being
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 1: a city. Now they beat them three one. But for me,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 1: I think an interesting game tomorrow is really Napoti Palermo.
• 1:01:11
  Speaker 2: Uh there's a name against Pisa.
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 1: I think, yeah, she just had to beat Pizza. There
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: was a there's a name for this rivalry. I forget,
• 1:01:21
  Speaker 1: uh the Napoli Johnny, do you remember it when Yeah, yeah,
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 1: I guess, yeah, I guess. I guess that's king.
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 2: Yes, that's it. That's it.
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 3: So was considered the capital, but sicily itself is in
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 3: the south, So yeah, I think it has something. I
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: think that's what the name. I could be wrong, that's
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: the first thought that comes to my head when it
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: comes to this, when it comes to.
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: This derby, Yeah, yeah, I think that's it. I knew,
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: I knew they had an actual name, but I'm pretty
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: sure it's that. So that's that's exciting. I mean, Napoli
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: definitely favorite, and it will be interesting to see, you know,
• 1:01:55
  Speaker 1: how many of the regular starters we'll play. But Palermo, guys,
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 1: this is a team. They did what they went down
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: I think all the way to City a d at
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: one point. I think they last played in Yeah, because
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: they went bankrupt. The last played in City, and I
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: believe twenty sixteen, twenty seventeen. So it's been a long time.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 1: This is a team that you know, so much talent,
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 1: so much s. Yeah, either exactly, so you know they
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: were they're basically that's crazy. What before?
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, exactly, Cavani, the Bala, Barzi, Grosso, guys, the names
• 1:02:31
  Speaker 2: go on and on. It's it's a blot too, you know,
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 2: in a in a lesser version, but just so many
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 2: yeahs man Franco Vasquez, guys. If we could have a
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 2: whole podcast about the aura of Palermo and the players
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: that they brought in, you know, Jamarini love him or
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 2: hate him? In charge over there was was definitely interesting.
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 2: But if you remember away, guys, those were the days. Basically,
• 1:02:59
  Speaker 2: let me play it that way.
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: Yeah, and so Jenny right, uh Derby the lead last
• 1:03:06

• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: eight years ago. Uh Mertens and Netskovski scored in that
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: game was one one draw. Napolice had had the edge obviously.
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: Uh listen to these goal scorers, Johnny last times the
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: last time Napoli has beaten Palermo, am Sick Kyler Hoangyn Mertens,

• 1:03:40
  Speaker 1: Franco Vasque Vasquez scored the last time. Uh, Palermo beat Napoli.
