  Speaker 2: We'll see.
• 1:19
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I'm doing okay, doing a lot of corrections end
• 1:22
  Speaker 3: of the semester before the winter break, so I got
• 1:25
  Speaker 3: a lot of assignments to correct here, but I'm doing okay.
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: What's uh, what's the state of the education of the future, Johnny?
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: Our kids smart these days?
• 1:38
  Speaker 2: As Johnny's doing the tim Tebow.
• 1:42
  Speaker 5: Let's just leave that one up to the Jerry.
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: I mean, we're not too smart ourselves sometimes, so you know,
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: it's it's.
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Sometimes maybe shit exactly exactly.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: But guys, you know, there there was a lot of
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: Coulchu right since we last spoke. You know, there was
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: Champions League, there was City, there was Cope Italia. You know,
• 2:04
  Speaker 1: there was Copetalia this week. And I feel like it's
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: rare that there's games in December. That's usually in January.
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: I think they just changed things up this year. But
• 2:12
  Speaker 1: obviously all our teams, you know, participated in this leadest
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: round of sixteen. Everyone advanced except for Napoli because Napoli
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: had that you know, disgusting week against Latio, and you know,
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: so Roma, you know, pulled out the victory. It felt
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: like one of those rare victory, rare victories for Roma.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: Milan just beat up on to Swallow, a team that
• 2:35
  Speaker 1: historically went to Swallow is in Citia they would always
• 2:37
  Speaker 1: get you know those There was a draws that me
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: and Adriano saw in twenty nineteen, the Sancito h five
• 2:43
  Speaker 1: years ago almost to the day, and then Uve. It
• 2:46
  Speaker 1: feels like every year when they play these rounds of
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: sixteen Cope Itali games against the bottom team, they always
• 2:50
  Speaker 1: like go out and score four wolves, and that was
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: the case yesterday. So one more game left in Cope
• 3:00
  Speaker 1: Italians tomorrow Interse. But on you know, one side of
• 3:03
  Speaker 1: the brackets, it's Melan Roma, Melan and Roma, so we
• 3:07
  Speaker 1: got to couch you guys, Derby and then Latio will
• 3:09
  Speaker 1: play the winner of inter so there's possibility of a
• 3:12
  Speaker 1: Melan Roma Lazio inter side of the bracket. And then
• 3:15
  Speaker 1: on the other side you've Amply blowing the Atalanta, So
• 3:18
  Speaker 1: one signs a lot harder than the other. But uh,
• 3:20
  Speaker 1: I mean, Adri Johnny, you guys gotta be happy with
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: at least Melan and Roma's wins in this cop Italia.
• 3:27
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I know, I mean, I know me one's match
• 3:30
  Speaker 4: was a couple of weeks ago. Now I think it
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: was closer to the beginning of December there, but at
• 3:35
  Speaker 4: that point in time, I mean kind of still in
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: the same rut, but with new One's performances. But uh,
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: seeing six goals next to me Onan's logo in a game,
• 3:47
  Speaker 4: it seems like we never see that really taking it
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: to to Sa Suol, it was.
• 3:53
  Speaker 1: It was a breath of.
• 3:53
  Speaker 2: Fresh air for for that small for that small.
• 3:56
  Speaker 4: Time, uh, in that matchup, and it's and it's and
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: it's a game that you know, it seems like Milan
• 4:02
  Speaker 4: and Copy Talia they always seem to kind of get
• 4:05
  Speaker 4: bounced out. They never really went the distance, they never
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: really really go for it. I'm hoping for a different result,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: you know, this time.
• 4:11
  Speaker 2: Around this year.
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: I would like to see them, you know, really fight
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: for something, because the season so far has been been
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: you know, next to a disasters. So you know, if
• 4:23
  Speaker 4: they can do something in Copy Talia just to I
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: don't want to say quiet as fans and a piece
• 4:28
  Speaker 4: as fans because obviously that's not our main objective, but
• 4:31
  Speaker 4: just to do something right and something positive. I think
• 4:34
  Speaker 4: is a small is a small step in the right direction.
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: But yeah, no it's in. It's a swallow now a
• 4:42
  Speaker 4: CETI a B team.
• 4:44
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 4:44
  Speaker 4: They weren't Setia for so long, like Nick said, always gave.
• 4:47
  Speaker 4: I think just the Milano clubs in general, you know,
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: Milan into uh fits in the leagues. Uh, you know
• 4:53
  Speaker 4: in all these you know, recent years and just past years.
• 4:57
  Speaker 2: Uh. So to to.
• 4:58
  Speaker 4: See six goals, to see a lot of players that
• 5:00
  Speaker 4: pup uh you know, getting either the goal or just
• 5:04
  Speaker 4: on on the score sheet in some sort of fashion
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: was was impressive. Obviously Since then till now, things have
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: obviously still been shaky in the league. Champions League has
• 5:17
  Speaker 4: been somewhat of a surprise of a different story, you know,
• 5:20
  Speaker 4: four straight victories in Champions League consecutively, which hasn't happened
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: in I think since two thousand.
• 5:27
  Speaker 2: And five, if I'm not mistaken.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: So, but just in terms of that Colvitalion matchup six
• 5:33
  Speaker 4: to one, moving on to the next round to face
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: to face Johnny's aroma.
• 5:40
  Speaker 2: Again, it's not going to be an easy task.
• 5:42
  Speaker 4: But at the same time, I think Nylon should advance
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: and if if everything kind of goes you know, according
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: to plan maybe a del with de la Madonina in
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: in in the semi finals.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: So happy at that point in time.
• 5:59
  Speaker 4: Obviously, now us to today, it's a bit of a
• 6:01
  Speaker 4: different different state for from you on fans, but overall
• 6:05
  Speaker 4: that that matchup was was a big one and a
• 6:08
  Speaker 4: positive in this recent stretch of form.
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: From you on.
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: I didn't get a chance to watch the Roma game
• 6:16
  Speaker 3: because I was driving on the way home from Cornwall,
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: so I don't really have much to offer, but I didn't.
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: I didn't see it.
• 6:21
  Speaker 5: It was it was for to one for one or
• 6:24
  Speaker 5: running versus Samia.
• 6:26
  Speaker 1: I forgot Samp's not in city anymore.
• 6:29
  Speaker 4: So yeah Stamp and thought both city B teams. Now
• 6:33
  Speaker 4: it's crazy life annihilated by city teams.
• 6:36
  Speaker 1: But Napoly actually had to play a city team didn't
• 6:40
  Speaker 1: do so well. I mean, Jenny, we spoke about it
• 6:42
  Speaker 1: right with Lucas, like no surprise that Conte fielded basically
• 6:49
  Speaker 1: eleven backups, but then he goes back to eleven starters
• 6:52
  Speaker 1: on the weekend against Latio and losers one nothing not home.
• 6:58
  Speaker 1: You know, at least they got the win righting it
• 7:00
  Speaker 1: through one against you, But did you get worried at
• 7:02
  Speaker 1: all from the from those two sets of games against lotso.
• 7:06
  Speaker 5: Not necessarily, I guess it just seems like not to
• 7:09
  Speaker 5: was the better team in those games, so.
• 7:12
  Speaker 3: You can't do much. You can't do much for a
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: team that's prepared. I was honestly surprised that it was
• 7:18
  Speaker 3: one zero. I thought Knopoly would have probably done better.
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: But I mean, it just goes to show that despite
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: some of the positives that they have experienced this year,
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: there's still some things to work on for this team.
• 7:35
  Speaker 3: Which is one of them is like, you know, like
• 7:36
  Speaker 3: they seem to get the job done versus other clubs,
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: but when they're faced a little bit of a challenge,
• 7:41
  Speaker 3: you know, they need to really dig deep and work
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: their way into getting a result. So it's it's not
• 7:50
  Speaker 3: really more of a worrisome thing. It's just like, okay,
• 7:53
  Speaker 3: But also lots of was on a very big hot streak,
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: so you know, sometimes when you when you're on, you're on.
• 7:59
  Speaker 5: You can't really stop it. Is you can try your
• 8:02
  Speaker 5: best to.
• 8:02
  Speaker 1: To to U.
• 8:05
  Speaker 5: I guess, to mitigate it.
• 8:06
  Speaker 3: I don't know if there's a better word for it,
• 8:08
  Speaker 3: but sometimes the hottest team is the hottest team for
• 8:11
  Speaker 3: the reason and Latzio showed that until they played inter
• 8:15
  Speaker 3: until they played in the then in there is like
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: hold on, pump the breaks, voice, pump the breaks.
• 8:21
  Speaker 2: We're just gonna put down to reality a bit. Yeah,
• 8:24
  Speaker 2: we're just.
• 8:25
  Speaker 1: Gonna put that's crazy.
• 8:26
  Speaker 5: We're gonna put in the back of the net, and
• 8:27
  Speaker 5: then you guys can have fun.
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: That's and you know, if there's a team to score
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: six goals, it's a black, black and blue team right
• 8:35
  Speaker 1: into Atlanta. They did that today against Chasea. You know, okay,
• 8:40
  Speaker 1: no disrespect to Chasena, but city of the team, right,
• 8:44
  Speaker 1: but these are you could argue right to the best
• 8:48
  Speaker 1: teams in the state city right now. I know that
• 8:50
  Speaker 1: the table doesn't really reflect that, reflect that, but inter
• 8:53
  Speaker 1: forty goals, it's a Lotto thirty nine, inter fifteen goals
• 8:56
  Speaker 1: against Atalanta seventeen. I feel where they are in the
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: Champions League state table as well there, but if I'm
• 9:03
  Speaker 1: not mistaken, they're each in the top ten.
• 9:06
  Speaker 2: In the Champions's twelfth I okay.
• 9:10
  Speaker 1: Sorry until this thirteenth Meulan's twelfth sorry inter sixth inter
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: six and you've is actually right there too. So you
• 9:17
  Speaker 1: got three Italian teams in a row twelve thirteen to fourteen,
• 9:20
  Speaker 1: so copycat leaks insert spider Man, spider Man mean here,
• 9:26
  Speaker 1: But yeah, for you've eight Man, it's just been a
• 9:29
  Speaker 1: weird what to past two months. Their past eight City
• 9:32
  Speaker 1: I game six draws. Their only games they've won. It
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: was both by two nothing scores on November tecond November ninth.
• 9:39
  Speaker 1: Besides that just draw draw drop to two draws at
• 9:43
  Speaker 1: home in two weekends in a row, saying a lot
• 9:46
  Speaker 1: of number two here, and then they go out and
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: beat Man City to nothing. I know, Man City has
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: been really struggling this this season. They were going in
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: like nine winless games in a row or something. But regardless,
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: like man Citi is a better team than Bologna. They're
• 10:01
  Speaker 1: a better team than but Vanezia. You get the win
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: versus man City, but you can't get the win versus
• 10:06
  Speaker 1: h versus Vanetsa and Bologna. It's just weird. Okay, you
• 10:10
  Speaker 1: know yesterday's result. I'm happy, right. You know. One thing
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: I was thinking is like, Okay, Mata has got to
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: learn that in Copia Tale you can't draw. Technically, you
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: can if it goes to penalties, yes, but there's gonna
• 10:20
  Speaker 1: be a winner and there's gonna be a loser, you know,
• 10:24
  Speaker 1: so you know it was good to see. Yes, you'ves again,
• 10:29
  Speaker 1: you've's had a lot of injuries, Nicol Gonzalez came back.
• 10:32
  Speaker 1: But I think it's the way now who already has
• 10:35
  Speaker 1: an injury, So it's like one one guy in, one
• 10:37
  Speaker 1: guy out type of thing. But at the end of
• 10:40
  Speaker 1: the next man up. But you know, you's just in
• 10:43
  Speaker 1: this weird, you know phase right now. Even even if
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: you guys look at the City at table where they're
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: in sixth right behind Latio, but Lato has former wins.
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: The only difference is that Ve has nine more draws
• 10:58
  Speaker 1: and five less losses. So yes, you could say all
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: day that Juve's undefeated on the season in the City,
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: which is true. Yes, but you know they might finish
• 11:08
  Speaker 1: the season with eighteen wins and twenty draws or something
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: like that. You know, it seems very realistic at this point.
• 11:16
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they can't. I don't know, they can't buy a
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: win in City. Yeah, it seems in these in these matchups.
• 11:21
  Speaker 4: I mean, I think I didn't see all the game.
• 11:24
  Speaker 4: I saw that more of the highlights of the City
• 11:26
  Speaker 4: game in Champions, but I think that was probably maybe
• 11:30
  Speaker 4: a bit of a breath of fresh air for that
• 11:32
  Speaker 4: for that split second. But besides that, I mean, it
• 11:35
  Speaker 4: just it can't be. It can't be that you go
• 11:37
  Speaker 4: and beat again whatever city is having its problems. But
• 11:41
  Speaker 4: City's third team is better than Vanezia, right Like they
• 11:46
  Speaker 4: have the luxury to field anybody.
• 11:47
  Speaker 2: They want to buy, whoever they want and field them
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: on the pitch.
• 11:50
  Speaker 4: Vanetsia even to say Bologna, they don't have that those capabilities.
• 11:55
  Speaker 2: So I was a bit shocked on the result. I'll
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: be honest with you.
• 11:59
  Speaker 4: I thought it would be more of a competitive game.
• 12:01
  Speaker 4: You gotta kind of tip your head off to to
• 12:03
  Speaker 4: you in that sense. But keeping a clean sheet against
• 12:09
  Speaker 4: against City, you know, reigning Champions League winners. Uh you
• 12:14
  Speaker 4: know this year now is to to to you know,
• 12:20
  Speaker 4: have them had no goals and score two you know,
• 12:24
  Speaker 4: nice goals the McKenny, you know your American connection there
• 12:28
  Speaker 4: with with Waya as well, it was.
• 12:30
  Speaker 2: It was impressive.
• 12:31
  Speaker 4: But come back down to Earth into City and and
• 12:33
  Speaker 4: tie you know Venansa to to and again.
• 12:36
  Speaker 2: Where I think they end up scoring late too right
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: off the penalty, uh to to to to tie the game.
• 12:43
  Speaker 2: If not it would have been to one result and who.
• 12:46
  Speaker 4: Knows, I mean, we already know what the papers were
• 12:48
  Speaker 4: going to look like, but it would have been even
• 12:50
  Speaker 4: more you know, maybe negativity and more you know, attacks
• 12:53
  Speaker 4: against Mata and you know, we're better off with a Lagriana,
• 12:56
  Speaker 4: but we have Mata.
• 12:58
  Speaker 2: It's like back and forth.
• 12:59
  Speaker 4: So, uh, I don't know, I think a lot of
• 13:02
  Speaker 4: these I don't want to say me on it.
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: And you are on like the same uh, same road.
• 13:09
  Speaker 4: But it seems like too many ups and downs, too
• 13:12
  Speaker 4: many uh you know, not consistent performances from the both
• 13:17
  Speaker 4: of them.
• 13:18
  Speaker 2: And uh you.
• 13:19
  Speaker 4: Know that's why you know they're they're currently in six
• 13:22
  Speaker 4: and eighth place in the table, right so the undefeated thing,
• 13:26
  Speaker 4: Like you said, Nick, I agree with you.
• 13:28
  Speaker 2: It's not enough.
• 13:29
  Speaker 4: I mean, nine draws is crazy. It's it's it's crazy,
• 13:32
  Speaker 4: like we're sixteen matches.
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: In nine of them are draws. Zero zero's the two tools,
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 13:39
  Speaker 4: It's it's it's not enough for a team like Juve.
• 13:41
  Speaker 4: But I don't know how long that's gonna last.
• 13:45
  Speaker 2: We'll see. But one thing's for sure.
• 13:49
  Speaker 4: Is that you know, like you said earlier, Nick, you
• 13:52
  Speaker 4: know the interests of the world, the Atalantas of the
• 13:54
  Speaker 4: world are really are really pushing for that title.
• 13:56
  Speaker 2: And personally, I've still thrown up with in that mix.
• 13:59
  Speaker 4: I know maybe some fans won't, but I'm still throwing
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: not put into that mix because yeah, they got you know,
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: handled by Lotso twice in the span of what four
• 14:09
  Speaker 4: or five days. By the listen, it's never going to
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: be a perfect season, and if you have a little
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: bit of a lull in your season, it's.
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: It's it's normal, and I think that's what happened in oply.
• 14:19
  Speaker 4: But with one competition, like I've i said from the
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: beginning of the year, I think they really have to
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: go for the Scudetto.
• 14:26
  Speaker 2: And you know they're right there with in the mix.
• 14:28
  Speaker 4: So I know what one is I think that's on
• 14:30
  Speaker 4: is Crowing first, if I'm not mistaken by points right.
• 14:34
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, thirty one points so and then Napoli thirty five,
• 14:38
  Speaker 1: inter thirty four. They do have the game in hand though,
• 14:40
  Speaker 1: so good in Tina game, yeah, okay, it's Ferantina, that's
• 14:43
  Speaker 1: and yeah that's a three four game, so that's not
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: you know that that's a big getting to decide the
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: top four.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: It's crazy and one of those all of those teams
• 14:53
  Speaker 4: like Inter has that game in hand with Fiorentina, so
• 14:56
  Speaker 4: that's true Meo, and has the game in hand with Bologna,
• 14:59
  Speaker 4: and those are teams still in this you know, the
• 15:02
  Speaker 4: seventy eight six, seven eight nine range whatever to maybe push.
• 15:06
  Speaker 2: Into some sort of European competition.
• 15:07
  Speaker 4: So uh, there's a lot of stick. And I don't
• 15:09
  Speaker 4: know when they're playing on making up these games. I
• 15:11
  Speaker 4: haven't heard anything official for for that, but you know
• 15:16
  Speaker 4: those games are going to be huge, especially if it's
• 15:19
  Speaker 4: you know, the table kind of sticks the way it is,
• 15:21
  Speaker 4: these are a bit there's going to.
• 15:22
  Speaker 2: Be you know, big, big matchups to be replayed.
• 15:25
  Speaker 4: So obviously the I think the intert Fiorentina one was
• 15:31
  Speaker 4: obviously just for for for the postponement and and the
• 15:35
  Speaker 4: replay of that game. With obviously the Beauve situation, which
• 15:39
  Speaker 4: I don't I don't think I got to speak about
• 15:41
  Speaker 4: it on the show, but just a terrible situation, Uh,
• 15:45
  Speaker 4: very very scary for somebody so young as well. Happy
• 15:50
  Speaker 4: to see him now finally back at the hospital, back
• 15:52
  Speaker 4: up the facility, you know, with uh with uh, you know, Bamane,
• 15:59
  Speaker 4: not back to one hundred but back to UH to
• 16:02
  Speaker 4: try to get to that one hundred percent as close
• 16:04
  Speaker 4: as he can be.
• 16:05
  Speaker 2: But just scary situation.
• 16:06
  Speaker 4: Happy, he's he's he's okay and back in good health.
• 16:11
  Speaker 4: But the Milan Bologna weather. But the way thing that
• 16:15
  Speaker 4: God this game postponed was in my opinion, ridiculous. They
• 16:18
  Speaker 4: had other sporting events that day in Bologna and they
• 16:22
  Speaker 4: didn't want to do Milan Bologna at Milan. That's sorry,
• 16:24
  Speaker 4: Bologna Milan. I don't get it. But regardless of that,
• 16:28
  Speaker 4: I just think these these these games in hand and
• 16:30
  Speaker 4: just how teams are playing and how this tough top
• 16:34
  Speaker 4: half of the table really is looking.
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: It's these all are crucial, crucial games.
• 16:37
  Speaker 4: And if you're gonna have two two results nil mills,
• 16:41
  Speaker 4: you know, one one one nothing losses, it's.
• 16:44
  Speaker 2: It's not gonna be a enough.
• 16:45
  Speaker 4: So we'll see how things turn if they do in
• 16:48
  Speaker 4: the new year.
• 16:51
  Speaker 5: Did he have to get a pacemaker installed or not.
• 16:53
  Speaker 5: I don't think I've ever seen a car.
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah he had.
• 16:55
  Speaker 4: I think it's like a removable one. But I'm not
• 16:57
  Speaker 4: sure how that all works, to be honest, I don't.
• 17:00
  Speaker 4: I don't know if you saw more. But that's that's
• 17:01
  Speaker 4: what I had seen. I didn't seen that he had
• 17:04
  Speaker 4: some sort of I don't know if I don't know
• 17:06
  Speaker 4: if pacemaker was the word I think it was, but
• 17:08
  Speaker 4: something along those lines that can be removed and installed
• 17:13
  Speaker 4: at his.
• 17:16
  Speaker 2: At the time that he I guess needs it or
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: however that works. But now I don't know.
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: I was also hearing other things about I'm not sure
• 17:22
  Speaker 4: if he's gonna be able to still play in itaway
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: because of that, because you're talents, so the federation doesn't
• 17:27
  Speaker 4: allow players to have that during play. You know, we
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: go back at the Christian Eericson situation that was really
• 17:35
  Speaker 4: really scary at the Euros. So ultimately he wif interreor
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: to to go put back in England, but I don't know.
• 17:44
  Speaker 4: I'm hoping he can get back on the pitch, and
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: I'm hoping it's still a Fijurdentina back in still in
• 17:49
  Speaker 4: ita way, because this is a young player and who
• 17:52
  Speaker 4: still has you know, a future ahead of him in
• 17:54
  Speaker 4: this game hopefully, so we'll see how things get worked
• 17:57
  Speaker 4: out there. I don't know all the all the particulars
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: with the technicalities of all that. If anybody Westenan does
• 18:04
  Speaker 4: let us know, but it's uh, I'm just happy that
• 18:07
  Speaker 4: from a scary situation. Uh, there's you know, obviously a
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: positive ending to all of this, hopefully.
• 18:14
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of where I always I saw it. Yeah,
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: exactly exactly.
• 18:21
  Speaker 1: It was good to good to see him back, and
• 18:24
  Speaker 1: unfortunately Sarentina lost to Bologna. Uh, you know we're talking
• 18:28
  Speaker 1: about Bologna, we're talking about Squerentina. It felt like that
• 18:31
  Speaker 1: was you know, it's a bit of a rivalry, right,
• 18:33
  Speaker 1: it's Derby del Lepanino. I believe it's called you know,
• 18:37
  Speaker 1: they're closer standings. Bologna is making their way up, guys.
• 18:39
  Speaker 1: I know they had a rough start to the season.
• 18:42
  Speaker 1: It's you know, obviously new system you coach, dollendary Taliano.
• 18:46
  Speaker 1: You know, unfortunately havn't gotten much done in Champions League.
• 18:50
  Speaker 1: They're pretty much all but eliminated now if if they
• 18:53
  Speaker 1: aren't mathematically eliminated at this point, but they're already pushing,
• 18:57
  Speaker 1: you know, at least to a European spot next year,
• 18:59
  Speaker 1: which is you know what, at the end of the day,
• 19:01
  Speaker 1: it's good to see because the worst thing that could
• 19:04
  Speaker 1: have happened to this Bologna to this Bologna team is,
• 19:07
  Speaker 1: you know, they make Champions League this year, the squad
• 19:09
  Speaker 1: gets blown up and then they just disappear after almost
• 19:12
  Speaker 1: kind of like what happened was so swallow, where a
• 19:15
  Speaker 1: couple of years ago they made Europa League, they kind
• 19:17
  Speaker 1: of floated around in that top eight zone for a while,
• 19:19
  Speaker 1: and now now they're in the city at be So
• 19:22
  Speaker 1: at least it seems like, you know, Bologna they kind
• 19:24
  Speaker 1: of have those ambitions and you know, even looking at
• 19:28
  Speaker 1: the table, like you said, there are there are twenty
• 19:30
  Speaker 1: five points, theyrehead a Melon Adri. I don't know, does
• 19:32
  Speaker 1: that whork you a bit to see Bologna had I
• 19:35
  Speaker 1: had a meal and I know Melon has been having
• 19:36
  Speaker 1: their struggles too. I know there's a whole fan seca
• 19:39
  Speaker 1: movement already. H zero zero Genoa tied to Genoa on
• 19:44
  Speaker 1: the one hundred and twenty fifth anniversary game that was
• 19:46
  Speaker 1: celebrated with all these legends except for Maldini. You go online,
• 19:50
  Speaker 1: there's all comments like where's Maldini, Where's Maldini. Uh, just
• 19:54
  Speaker 1: it seems like it was a bit of a dark shadow,
• 19:56
  Speaker 1: especially the game zero. So it reminds me of Adria
• 19:57
  Speaker 1: of the game we went. That was one hundred and
• 19:59
  Speaker 1: twenty celebration the exact same day five years earlier on
• 20:03
  Speaker 1: Sunday as well, and this is one hundred and twenty
• 20:06
  Speaker 1: fifth celebration. They do even something more spectacular and Zeros.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It seems like the anniversary is a curse.
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I don't know. It just crazy to me.
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: I mean, just we could have a whole podcast alone
• 20:21
  Speaker 4: on Meline struggles for sure. But yeah, just embarrassing is
• 20:27
  Speaker 4: I don't even know if that's the word, but if
• 20:29
  Speaker 4: that's if that word has enough weight for what's going
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: on a Meulan currently, but uh, it just really not
• 20:35
  Speaker 4: good enough. I mean, like you said in a carbon
• 20:38
  Speaker 4: copy of five years ago, we were at sun Seatole
• 20:41
  Speaker 4: against US who one hundred and twentieth anniversary. We got
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: we got the scarf at the entrance, everybody got it.
• 20:47
  Speaker 4: We walked in, had a great time. One goal got
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: called back by bar. That was the only difference. It
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: was zero was there. Everything was spitch a god that
• 20:56
  Speaker 4: the same thing carbon copy the anything that was different.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: We saw Go Go get taken back from var in.
• 21:02
  Speaker 2: This game against Genoa, there was none of that.
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: But you know, I think the the the best thing
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: that we saw was was it was the kit, the
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: one hundred and twenty fifth anniversary kit that I personally
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: thought it was a beautiful, amazing, I really, uh, you know,
• 21:21
  Speaker 4: chosen by the fans. Puma, I think did an incredible job.
• 21:24
  Speaker 4: I know fans, some fans had criticism against it.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: I didn't see it.
• 21:28
  Speaker 4: Maybe on my melan blinders on I don't know, but
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: for me it was it was. It was a beautiful
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: kit really just traditional Mealin, red and black, which I
• 21:37
  Speaker 4: which I really liked. But besides that, the performance against
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Genoa and again no disrespect to Genoa, it was it
• 21:46
  Speaker 4: was just not gonna have nil nil on your hundred twenty.
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: And fifth anniversary.
• 21:51
  Speaker 4: Are so so called owner Jerry Cardinal nowhere to be found. Uh,
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: it's just from I think, from top to bottom, uh
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: is this this weekend was just was a was a mess,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: and especially coming off off a you know, Champions League win,
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: obviously the lots to to Atlanta that the two to
• 22:10
  Speaker 4: one at the end and lookman, uh you know stole
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: stole points.
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: For me, on was a was a hard one to swallow.
• 22:17
  Speaker 2: I was pissed by it from that one.
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: But now to come to turn to this game against General,
• 22:22
  Speaker 4: are just terrible, like nobody, nobody, insane, can't finish in
• 22:27
  Speaker 4: the final third. It's it's things that we've been saying
• 22:30
  Speaker 4: as Mealan fans that I know I've been saying on
• 22:31
  Speaker 4: the show for not only this year. It's like we've
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: had spurts of not being able to do these things
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: and it's it's just not good enough. It's it's as
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: simple as that. It's it's it's unfortunate because you want
• 22:43
  Speaker 4: to see your the club perform, especially on their their
• 22:46
  Speaker 4: their anniversary. It's one hundred and twenty five years. That's
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: a long that's a big history. So it's and we
• 22:51
  Speaker 4: know Melon's history. What it is to have all those
• 22:54
  Speaker 4: legends come back, uh to to celebrate that with you
• 22:59
  Speaker 4: and perform at that, I think the highlight of the game.
• 23:01
  Speaker 4: But besides the kids was Bala Telly in the in
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: the in the tunnel went there all the legends and
• 23:07
  Speaker 4: and and and embracing and high fiving and handshakes with
• 23:10
  Speaker 4: with all the legends, and everybody was happy to see
• 23:12
  Speaker 4: super Mario. Besides that, there was no there was no action.
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: I think uh Fonseca try to is trying to or
• 23:22
  Speaker 4: was trying to send the message with you know.
• 23:24
  Speaker 2: The bench of tail uh, you know, the bench of
• 23:27
  Speaker 2: some some some of our players throughout throughout the season
• 23:30
  Speaker 2: to try to maybe wake up the squad.
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: And you know he put in he means which I
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: think he had a good game, A young player, uh,
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: player that you know some fans would maybe like to
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: see more often in the in the lineup as uh,
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: maybe as a right back, because our right back situation
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: is is beyond terrible. Between Calabria who has just dipped
• 23:50
  Speaker 4: tremendously and Emerson Royale, who I don't know how he's
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: a professional football player, soccer player. It's it's it's a
• 23:57
  Speaker 4: strocious but I think he did well. But again we're
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: missing pieces. Obviously, pooltitches Poolstitch's injury doesn't help. But after
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: they were just going down like flies aft of she
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: fills in for Poolstic, she goes down. Morata was starting,
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: he goes down. Uh you know in these in these
• 24:16
  Speaker 4: last couple of games.
• 24:17
  Speaker 2: So it's just.
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: It just it's just unfortunate. Sorry that was the Champions
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: League games, but just just to say, off off.
• 24:26
  Speaker 2: My head, but.
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: Just just not good enough. Uh, I don't know, I
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: don't know what the next move is. I know a
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: lot of people want phone sec out. I don't think
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: people want to phone second in.
• 24:36
  Speaker 2: To begin with, we we knew that he wasn't the
• 24:39
  Speaker 2: first choice.
• 24:40
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 24:41
  Speaker 2: I think he was just.
• 24:43
  Speaker 4: The band aid solution that hopefully can take me on
• 24:48
  Speaker 4: to you know, still keep them in tough fo currently.
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: Like you said, Nick, or am I worried about Bohonia
• 24:54
  Speaker 4: ahead of me? And I mean it wasn't that game
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: in hand, so and that's against them, so that that's
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: a that's a huge game.
• 24:59
  Speaker 2: So we'll see how that pans out.
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 25:03
  Speaker 2: But me on on paper should be doing a lot
• 25:04
  Speaker 2: better than than what they're doing.
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: It's on the pitch where it matters is where the
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: problems are. And unfortunately, unfortunately we're not seeing consistent results
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: weekend and week out.
• 25:15
  Speaker 2: We have to sweat.
• 25:16
  Speaker 4: We have to struggle for teams like and again no
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: disrespect to general, but to Genua, like it shouldn't be.
• 25:23
  Speaker 4: I know if you're listening to us, and it's no disrespect,
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: but it's just to say, like we shouldn't be struggling
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: against Genua. We played Friday against uh Verona. Do we
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: have to sweat for that. Hopefully not, but knowing me
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: one we probably will so well.
• 25:39
  Speaker 3: Verna is no push of our team, No they're not,
• 25:43
  Speaker 3: but they always tend to surprise, so we can't really
• 25:45
  Speaker 3: consider them, that's true.
• 25:46
  Speaker 1: And they're bringing dogs out before the game. Yeah, and
• 25:50
  Speaker 1: I'm not talking about the animals, their dogs.
• 25:54
  Speaker 2: D A W.
• 25:55
  Speaker 4: G right, that type of dog. But no, they should
• 25:59
  Speaker 4: have with the dogs, you know, the rescue dogs. We
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: are trying to get them home.
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: We all have to see that.
• 26:05
  Speaker 4: But again, I know they opened the season with that big,
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: big performance against not we but again we shouldn't have
• 26:13
  Speaker 4: to sweat with teams of that nature against the vet
• 26:16
  Speaker 4: owners of the world. So is my point, will we
• 26:19
  Speaker 4: probably should?
• 26:20
  Speaker 2: We know? I don't know. I just want to see
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: more consistency. I know players are not having their best season.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: But you know, fans are just going crazy. I know
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: they want they want everybody out. They put banners, you know,
• 26:35
  Speaker 4: you know, outside outside the stadium at the hotel they
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: had a celebration for the one hundred and twenty fifth anniversary.
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: They were yelling.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: It was just crazy, like certain players were getting we're
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: getting bashed and.
• 26:48
  Speaker 2: Certain players not cheered. Whatever it's just a mess.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: I hope we can turn this page. I know the
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: new year is coming. We need to make it to
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: the new year. If not, it's going to be a
• 26:59
  Speaker 4: real disaster. The many fans were saying, if can eat
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: the pet on it, I don't know. I really don't.
• 27:07
  Speaker 4: We'll see, I guess. But my thing is also it's
• 27:11
  Speaker 4: like they want fun sec out, which again I'm not
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: a fan of him either.
• 27:16
  Speaker 2: Don't get me wrong. I'm not trying to defend from Zeca.
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: Because he's been up and down to but it's like
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: the real For me, it's like, what realistic option are
• 27:24
  Speaker 4: you going to bring in in January? I saw a
• 27:27
  Speaker 4: Shavi today is not going to really move the needle
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: for us. We're gonna have to change everything for a
• 27:34
  Speaker 4: guy like I think anyways, For me, it starts at
• 27:36
  Speaker 4: the top, from Cardinale down to Ebra and Company, who's
• 27:40
  Speaker 4: been doing a terrible job.
• 27:42
  Speaker 2: He's It just shows that legends on the pitch are not.
• 27:47
  Speaker 4: Always going to be uh, you know, amazing in front
• 27:50
  Speaker 4: office jobs.
• 27:52
  Speaker 2: It just clear. It reminds me. I mean, I'm not
• 27:55
  Speaker 2: going to compare Ebra to to win Gretzky, but it.
• 27:59
  Speaker 4: Shows the greatest player in hockey couldn't couldn't manage to
• 28:02
  Speaker 4: coach or GM or anything in the NHL, right, So
• 28:07
  Speaker 4: it's not always going to be uh a smooth transition.
• 28:11
  Speaker 4: And I don't think they've been doing an adequate enough
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: job for where this club wants to be, where they
• 28:16
  Speaker 4: should be, where they need to be. It's a it's
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: a mess. But I don't know if if Cardonawi decides
• 28:24
  Speaker 4: to sell and and decides to give up his uh
• 28:29
  Speaker 4: his his taking the pie, I don't think many fans
• 28:33
  Speaker 4: would be uh be too sad about it.
• 28:34
  Speaker 2: So we'll see what the future holds. I'm hoping for
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: a bright one.
• 28:37
  Speaker 4: But it's gonna still have to be manage our expectations
• 28:41
  Speaker 4: one game at a time, and uh, we'll see where
• 28:43
  Speaker 4: it goes.
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: And again it starts. It starts, uh Friday against Verona,
• 28:47
  Speaker 2: and I.
• 28:47
  Speaker 4: Don't pay people in the paper we're saying, oh yeah,
• 28:50
  Speaker 4: if if Vanseeca beats Verona, he keeps his job.
• 28:52
  Speaker 2: If he loses it, he's more in danger for his job.
• 28:55
  Speaker 4: If a game against Verona is deciding a manager's future,
• 28:59
  Speaker 4: like one.
• 29:00
  Speaker 2: Second, we have bigger problems than what we really know.
• 29:03
  Speaker 4: So all that to say, I'm hoping for some positivity
• 29:06
  Speaker 4: going forward into the all day break into the new year,
• 29:10
  Speaker 4: and uh, we need top four. That's that's the bottom line,
• 29:13
  Speaker 4: because clearly we can't fight for this Gudeto. Top four
• 29:16
  Speaker 4: is a is a bare minimum. And if we don't
• 29:18
  Speaker 4: get that, I think that's when maybe more of a worrisome.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: You know, we don't want to go back to.
• 29:23
  Speaker 4: That rut of of consecutive years not doing doing well
• 29:27
  Speaker 4: and uh and any banter era situations. We don't want
• 29:31
  Speaker 4: to go back down to that. So top four is
• 29:34
  Speaker 4: a must, and I'm hoping to achieve that.
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: John, you're muted.
• 29:40
  Speaker 3: If you're gonna say something, I was gonna make a
• 29:43
  Speaker 3: joke and say, I think you guess you'd call Wayne Glenski,
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: not Wayne Gretzky.
• 29:47
  Speaker 2: Wayne Glenski, Wayne Glen Wayne glen Ski.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah. And before we get into the end of
• 29:53
  Speaker 1: the year stuff, Jenny, look at roma schedule actually looks
• 29:56
  Speaker 1: pretty tough moving forward to towards the end of this year. Okay,
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: they played part of the this weekend, you know their
• 30:01
  Speaker 1: mid table team. They played me line. They played the
• 30:04
  Speaker 1: last show in the Derby on January fifth. January twelfth,
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: they played Bologna and then after that, you know it
• 30:10
  Speaker 1: kind of dies on Genua and then back to Europa League.
• 30:13
  Speaker 1: You didn't say Europa League, and then Napoli and then
• 30:15
  Speaker 1: again me line in February.
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: So they put me on when now.
• 30:20
  Speaker 1: December twenty ninth and February fifth. Okay, so tough little
• 30:25
  Speaker 1: stretch now for Roma for the next what six weeks?
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: I don't know how much do you expect, Jenny or.
• 30:29
  Speaker 1: Is it your heart's broken for Roma?
• 30:32
  Speaker 5: My heart's broken.
• 30:33
  Speaker 3: I'm just there, like, please don't go down to cityp
• 30:35
  Speaker 3: he's picking up the pieces.
• 30:37
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly.
• 30:38
  Speaker 5: Last Christmas, I gave Roma my heart on the d
• 30:40
  Speaker 5: next day they gave it away.
• 30:43
  Speaker 2: Perfectly, said yeah.
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: So for me, it's just more like just you know,
• 30:48
  Speaker 3: find a way to like maintain the course or just.
• 30:53
  Speaker 5: Keep yourself afloat, stop like stoppable from sinking.
• 30:58
  Speaker 3: Because if even claud you would have had and you
• 31:00
  Speaker 3: can't even keep everything stable, and you know, there's a
• 31:02
  Speaker 3: fundamental issue, there's an issue with the foundation.
• 31:05
  Speaker 5: You know, you built, you built your your home on
• 31:09
  Speaker 5: very wet dirt, and it's just sinking into the ground
• 31:11
  Speaker 5: now you put it. You built it on swamp line.
• 31:13
  Speaker 2: So to speak.
• 31:14
  Speaker 5: So sorry it was drinking water for the listeners at home,
• 31:22
  Speaker 5: but that at this point, just I think you need
• 31:26
  Speaker 5: to like dig it up like.
• 31:27
  Speaker 3: The ruins, you know, just dig it up and and
• 31:31
  Speaker 3: just change it completely. I think I think something drastic
• 31:33
  Speaker 3: needs to happen at this point. Yeah, sure you want,
• 31:36
  Speaker 3: you want to cope, Dalia, but you beat a city
• 31:38
  Speaker 3: at B team, you should be the city of B team.
• 31:40
  Speaker 3: You know, I'm not going to be super celebrating like
• 31:44
  Speaker 3: how you vent his fans were celebrating to win against Calgary.
• 31:47
  Speaker 5: I'm kidding, I'm kidding, I'm kidding, just having some fun.
• 31:51
  Speaker 5: I need to cope with laughter.
• 31:53
  Speaker 2: They were hoping way too hard though to your credit.
• 31:57
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I saw I saw you out breeding the too
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: two draw versus Bologna because of the comeback from two
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: nail down.
• 32:06
  Speaker 3: I saw one of the worst Juve accounts actually make
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: a point that I had to agree with, and I
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: was stunned. I'm like, you know the meme where it's
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: like heartbreaking the world's worst person, you know, it's made
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: a great point type of thing. Well, this UVE account
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: basically quote tweeted another UV account that said, what a
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: world class performance by Lookalatelly world class player. And it's
• 32:28
  Speaker 3: like the word world class is just being thrown around
• 32:31
  Speaker 3: like nothing nowadays.
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Oh my god.
• 32:33
  Speaker 5: And I'm like and I'm like, oh my god, I
• 32:34
  Speaker 5: kin'd of believe I agree with this person.
• 32:36
  Speaker 2: This is amazing.
• 32:37
  Speaker 5: You could say you had a fantastic performance performance.
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: I'm not trying to discredit local look at Telly's performance,
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: but to call him work world class, it's like.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Something further from the truth. Man, that's that's crazy.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: But yeah, if you had a good performance, you had
• 32:53
  Speaker 3: a good performance. There's not amount that taking that away
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: from him. I'm just saying, let's pump the breaks on
• 32:56
  Speaker 3: the words world class.
• 32:58
  Speaker 2: It's like goat like every but is the ghost now, yeah,
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: it can't be. How many ghosts can we have?
• 33:03
  Speaker 5: We're gona have a hurt, Like, yeah, exactly. They're gonna
• 33:06
  Speaker 5: climb mountains for us.
• 33:07
  Speaker 1: There you go, Yeah, guys, I think they'll do it
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: for us. In terms of you know, this weekly recamt
• 33:16
  Speaker 1: but you know, end of year, we'd like to have
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: a tradition, you know, kind of going through the past
• 33:23
  Speaker 1: moments of the of the year. Disappointing year for the
• 33:28
  Speaker 1: Azuri right with the Euros and everything. Hopefully twenty twenty
• 33:32
  Speaker 1: five will bring some World Cup qualification.
• 33:35
  Speaker 7: Uh.
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: I forget the exact groups, but regardless of what's gonna
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: happen versus Germany, it seems like Italy there they're gonna
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: be in a group that they basically have to qualify.
• 33:46
  Speaker 2: Right.
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: Let me, let me just pull it up because.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: There, if they win there.
• 33:52
  Speaker 1: They're in a group of four teams.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: If they lose, they were in a group of five.
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: Exactly. Yeah, let me pull this up.
• 33:59
  Speaker 2: But both of them, I agree, are you have to?
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah? So if they win the group of four with Slovakia,
• 34:06
  Speaker 1: Northern Ireland, Northern Ireland and Luxembourg, and then if they
• 34:10
  Speaker 1: lose a group of five with Norway, Israel, Estonia, Maldo Maldove.
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: I think the toughest team out of those is probably
• 34:17
  Speaker 1: Norway just because of haul in. Uh. But you know,
• 34:20
  Speaker 1: I want to see them beat Germany. You know, get
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: to the semi finals of the the Nations League, and
• 34:27
  Speaker 1: then you know, going that group of four you're on,
• 34:29
  Speaker 1: it's only six games, it's basically a sprint. Okay, sure,
• 34:32
  Speaker 1: the group of five it's eight games, stecure games, but
• 34:36
  Speaker 1: you know, six games is it's you know, six games
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: in the man of in the span of two months
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: in next fall. So hopefully twenty twenty five will bring
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: that for Italy. You know, besides our teams, what you've
• 34:50
  Speaker 1: won the Copia Italia and then enter one the school
• 34:52
  Speaker 1: that's none of our teams besides you be winning the
• 34:55
  Speaker 1: Cope Italia, won anything obviously, Okay, if you're not a
• 34:58
  Speaker 1: lot to fan, very good year in the Europa League.
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: But you know, if you guys had if you guys
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: had an MVP, let's start with m VP. If you
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: guys had an MVP, who to be? Because I might
• 35:11
  Speaker 1: I might as well start because I know who it
• 35:13
  Speaker 1: would be. I've you know, been saying his name for
• 35:17
  Speaker 1: a lot this year kind of tailed down in the
• 35:19
  Speaker 1: past few months, been shadowed, overshadowed by teammate. But it's
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: it's it is Lord Tower of Martinez. I would still
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: give him the MVP also, not only for what he
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: did with inter but also what he did with Argentina
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: at the Coptalia Copa America. Sorry five goals. He was,
• 35:37
  Speaker 1: you know, the golden moot winner there. I think it
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: was what thirty three goals or twenty three goals last
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: season in the City. I had his I had his
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: stats pulled up. Just im just gonna pull that up
• 35:49
  Speaker 1: one second. But I think he's still you know, if
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: you look at his work over the entire calendar year,
• 35:57
  Speaker 1: I think he's still the best player. I think think
• 36:00
  Speaker 1: you know, Marcus Turam, he's He's definitely in that conversation,
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: he's just he got hot too late in the year
• 36:07
  Speaker 1: for me, and yes, even Reta, you could throw his
• 36:12
  Speaker 1: name in the hand, but he right to gain. Turam
• 36:15
  Speaker 1: are more in line to be MVPs for the City
• 36:18
  Speaker 1: last season. But if you look at twenty twenty four
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: as a whole, sorry, twenty four goals for Loa Taro
• 36:24
  Speaker 1: last year. I don't know how many got in the
• 36:27
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty four calendar year, but he has already six
• 36:30
  Speaker 1: this year. You know, low number for him, but like
• 36:33
  Speaker 1: I said, five at the Copa America Argentina. So for me,
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: he's the MVP. How about you, guys, I was gonna go.
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: Johnny, you had one.
• 36:42
  Speaker 5: No, I just can't disagree.
• 36:43
  Speaker 3: I think, honestly speaking, I would say it's Martinez as well,
• 36:46
  Speaker 3: with Raam as a close second.
• 36:47
  Speaker 5: Martinez just to throw in more stats.
• 36:50
  Speaker 3: You know, Lotado for the for towards the end of
• 36:53
  Speaker 3: the year, and this year, you know he's got, he's
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: got he's got the most goals with with Teram right
• 36:59
  Speaker 3: behind him by a small margin. So if we're calling
• 37:02
  Speaker 3: at the calendar year, it's definitely about Thattle.
• 37:04
  Speaker 5: Martinez is MVP.
• 37:06
  Speaker 2: Go ahead, Adri.
• 37:07
  Speaker 4: No, I listen, I'll throw a different name, just I
• 37:10
  Speaker 4: don't want to be repetitive three times in a row here.
• 37:13
  Speaker 2: But you can't.
• 37:16
  Speaker 4: Unfortunately, you can't deny the stats and you can't deny
• 37:19
  Speaker 4: the performances from a.
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: Guy like Latro Martinez.
• 37:21
  Speaker 4: So his name and that shout is obviously a good one, uh,
• 37:25
  Speaker 4: for club and country, for Inter Argentina, UH, even dating
• 37:30
  Speaker 4: back to even the World Cup, right Like he's been
• 37:33
  Speaker 4: on he's been on a tear.
• 37:34
  Speaker 2: Now for for for a little while, so.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: Has his depths, has his moments. But again, a player
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: that when he's hot and when he's on.
• 37:41
  Speaker 2: It's it seems like he's unstoppable. But I'll throw another name, uh, just.
• 37:46
  Speaker 4: For to mix it up again another unfortunately another black
• 37:51
  Speaker 4: and blue UH player in terms of the club he
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: plays for.
• 37:56
  Speaker 2: But I'm gonna put Lukman. I don't know, Ukeman.
• 37:59
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna say, lookman, uh, maybe it's more of a
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: recency bias. It is possible because of us, some guys.
• 38:05
  Speaker 4: I don't know all the stats. I didn't go through there.
• 38:07
  Speaker 4: I didn't go.
• 38:08
  Speaker 5: I didn't go that's that's that's a good point.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: I didn't do all that.
• 38:11
  Speaker 4: But what I will say is that just what an
• 38:14
  Speaker 4: influential player for Atalanta, A player that really revitalizes his
• 38:20
  Speaker 4: his career at Atalanta, A player that was a throwaway
• 38:25
  Speaker 4: in England, the scene that nobody wanted him, just a
• 38:28
  Speaker 4: disaster back in England, and he comes to Italy. He
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: comes to Atalanta and just shines like a diamond. You know,
• 38:36
  Speaker 4: the goals, the assists, the just even if he's not
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: on the score she just the performances he's in the
• 38:41
  Speaker 4: build up play. He's just such an influential player for
• 38:45
  Speaker 4: for how Atalanta play. You know, Europa League winner scoring
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: what was it a bracerick?
• 38:57
  Speaker 2: Right?
• 38:57
  Speaker 4: People that he scored three goals in the in your
• 39:00
  Speaker 4: Europa League final, Like I don't know the list of
• 39:03
  Speaker 4: players who have done that, Like if there is, I
• 39:05
  Speaker 4: don't even know.
• 39:06
  Speaker 2: But that's that's an accomplishment for a guy I.
• 39:08
  Speaker 4: Got the moment, so uh and now just recently being named,
• 39:12
  Speaker 4: uh the African Player of the Year as well.
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: So not only you know, are you being recognized.
• 39:19
  Speaker 4: For your club, uh you know, award for your for
• 39:23
  Speaker 4: your country.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Uh, for your for your continent, never mind your country,
• 39:27
  Speaker 2: like he represents Nigeria.
• 39:29
  Speaker 4: But he's the best African player in UH that that
• 39:34
  Speaker 4: was named this year.
• 39:35
  Speaker 2: So uh, it's for me.
• 39:38
  Speaker 4: It's a player that I don't know another another sneaky
• 39:43
  Speaker 4: Atalanta buy that I think just has been continuously paying off, uh,
• 39:48
  Speaker 4: game by game, week by week, year by year. So
• 39:51
  Speaker 4: for me, I'm gonna throw his name into the hat
• 39:53
  Speaker 4: into the m v P category on the show tonight.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: But again it's hard.
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: To not it's hard to go against to my teams obviously,
• 40:01
  Speaker 4: but if I have to say somebody different, just to
• 40:03
  Speaker 4: mix it up, I'm going to say I had the
• 40:04
  Speaker 4: mole lookman in Frontalanta.
• 40:07
  Speaker 1: That's a great pick. Honestly, they didn't even you know,
• 40:12
  Speaker 1: crossed my mind. And but you know, African Player of
• 40:15
  Speaker 1: the Year that that was that's pretty big too.
• 40:17
  Speaker 2: It's huge. It's huge.
• 40:18
  Speaker 1: It is huge.
• 40:19
  Speaker 4: It's huge because you know, you know, with some of
• 40:23
  Speaker 4: the players that have won that award over the years,
• 40:26
  Speaker 4: some of these African players that we've seen throughout the year,
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: it's just constant legends that have come out of the
• 40:31
  Speaker 4: African continent. It's just it's crazy. And listen he he.
• 40:35
  Speaker 4: I think there was a quot. I don't remember the
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: whole quote, but it said something along the lines like
• 40:39
  Speaker 4: the world saw me fail and now they're seeing me succeed,
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: and it's just it's it's crazy because he really was
• 40:45
  Speaker 4: an afterthought after in England he didn't it.
• 40:47
  Speaker 2: Was it Everton was it.
• 40:48
  Speaker 4: I forget what team he was on, but it was
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: he didn't perform. He scored what six goals in a
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: matter of three years or something. That was some crazy numbers.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: And then he comes over to Italy. No one has
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: more of a defensive tactic league and he's killing it.
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: So obviously there's something there and I think he deserves uh,
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: he deserves the praise.
• 41:08
  Speaker 2: So yeah, for me, Like I said, it's it's a lookman,
• 41:10
  Speaker 2: m VP Johnny, do you have a no.
• 41:16
  Speaker 5: I think it's a fair shout.
• 41:17
  Speaker 3: I think a lookman's t trick with the in Europa
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: League to get Atlanta the first international trophy, and the
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: fact that he's been consistently good for them from last
• 41:24
  Speaker 3: year and this year, I think is a great point
• 41:26
  Speaker 3: that Adri brought up. So that's another consideration consideration, but
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: I still lead towards Lotao. But Lookman is a very
• 41:36
  Speaker 3: very very good argument.
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: And then who knows, like who like whoever ends up
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: winning the school that's this year. I mean, like, listen,
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: that's another like Atlanta is there, maybe it's their year.
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: Who knows, Like in there is obviously still in there,
• 41:48
  Speaker 2: So we'll see.
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: And I'm still throwing it up with but just to say,
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: I don't know, it's it's hard to it's hard to
• 41:53
  Speaker 4: say what's better or worse. I think both are good shouts.
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: Maybe what the viewers the side of. Maybe we'll clip this,
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: but yeah, I think Lataro, Martinez Automo Lookman from the
• 42:05
  Speaker 4: culture guys MVPs.
• 42:07
  Speaker 2: That's where we stand.
• 42:11
  Speaker 1: You know, we kind of talked talked about it off air,
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: thinking of coming up with a combined eleven. I don't know,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: it's tough because there's a lot of good players in
• 42:19
  Speaker 1: the city, right, how many of them are truly Like,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: first of all, how many of them are world class.
• 42:25
  Speaker 1: Not a lot, right, you know. I know we talked
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: about this world class.
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: None is none possible.
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: I don't know, honestly, world class A lot of Yeah,
• 42:37
  Speaker 1: A lot of people keep calling the Marco with the
• 42:39
  Speaker 1: best left back in the world. I don't know. I
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: don't think he is, but I don't know who is.
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: You know, Brella for me, is still up there. In
• 42:48
  Speaker 1: terms of midfield, there's definitely not the best in the world.
• 42:51
  Speaker 1: If you're going to make a starting level.
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: We're talking about best in the world. That's the world class.
• 42:58
  Speaker 4: That's the thing with world like everybody which everybody has
• 43:01
  Speaker 4: their their own definition of world class.
• 43:04
  Speaker 3: Well yeah, no, but you definitely Betilla is definitely world class.
• 43:07
  Speaker 3: World class my definition, I think I was discussing with
• 43:09
  Speaker 3: Jordan once a good front of the show, and he
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: said the best definition for world class is a player
• 43:15
  Speaker 3: that can walk on any team starting eleven. If the
• 43:18
  Speaker 3: player can go on any team and be a part
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: of their starting eleven, they're considered world class and badalla
• 43:24
  Speaker 3: in my eyes, there's nothing like this, Like there's not
• 43:26
  Speaker 3: a team that has three midfielders that out or like
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: three to four midfielders that will you know, make Badalla
• 43:34
  Speaker 3: sit on the bench. You know what I'm saying, Like,
• 43:36
  Speaker 3: there's there's I don't I don't think there's a team.
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: I could be completely wrong, And if I'm completely wrong,
• 43:41
  Speaker 3: I hope somebody writes a comment, improves it or provides
• 43:45
  Speaker 3: an argument against. But I really have a hard time
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: thinking of more of the more known clubs of the
• 43:50
  Speaker 3: world where Badela doesn't start under starting eleven. I won't
• 43:53
  Speaker 3: say he's going to be their best player. I'm not
• 43:55
  Speaker 3: saying that, but in terms of his position and where
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: he would where he can play, and where you go.
• 44:00
  Speaker 5: But Ella is the only one that could probably argue
• 44:02
  Speaker 5: that he's world class.
• 44:04
  Speaker 3: Everyone else, like DeMarco, there might be teams that you
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: can argue that, Okay, well, because he plays in such
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: a specific position, right, and that's where that's where he
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: getshart because if he was at Bayern, right, it's like,
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: do you think he plays better?
• 44:19
  Speaker 5: Do you think he replaced Davies.
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: That's a good question, honestly, That's what I'm saying, Like
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: that's maybe me like maybe.
• 44:27
  Speaker 1: Just because D's just because I know he's kind of
• 44:30
  Speaker 1: like in and out of the starting line up there,
• 44:32
  Speaker 1: so maybe you know.
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: No, it's an argument. It's definitely an argument.
• 44:35
  Speaker 1: Should he's probably not. Maybe maybe let's look.
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: At let's just look at city out for example, and
• 44:42
  Speaker 3: in Adri bias aside.
• 44:44
  Speaker 5: Let's just put bias aside. Would you rather Tayo or
• 44:47
  Speaker 5: would you rather DeMarco?
• 44:50
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna and now people are gonna say, other day,
• 44:53
  Speaker 4: you're biased.
• 44:54
  Speaker 2: I'm still gonna takeing on this exactly. But what I
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: think DeMarco DeMarco is a fantastic point.
• 45:05
  Speaker 4: When we see him for fatly, it's it's it's it's
• 45:07
  Speaker 4: out of this world. I saw him live back in
• 45:10
  Speaker 4: October when I was there at Olypico. Just the past
• 45:13
  Speaker 4: he made to to Cambiaso incredible. I'm still going to
• 45:18
  Speaker 4: take Taylornandez. I think his speed, his his his his physicality,
• 45:24
  Speaker 4: his his his ability to go coast to coast, it's
• 45:28
  Speaker 4: just unheard of. I mean, he doesn't stop. He needs
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: what I think DeMarco has better than him.
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: I think he's better defensively, Uh for sure, I would say.
• 45:41
  Speaker 4: But if I would have to really choose mine to man,
• 45:44
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna still take Taylornandez.
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: I think he's just a force that is it's almost unstoppable.
• 45:51
  Speaker 5: And it's a fair shout.
• 45:52
  Speaker 8: It's a fair shot because because like Taylor has certain
• 45:55
  Speaker 8: factors that you that you brought up that DeMarco doesn't have.
• 45:58
  Speaker 8: I will, one person and vice, I will one hundred
• 46:02
  Speaker 8: percent say that DeMarco obviously has a starting spot in
• 46:05
  Speaker 8: Roma or Anapoli.
• 46:06
  Speaker 5: I'm not gonna be biased. I think Demnicca would probably
• 46:09
  Speaker 5: be the best. You would be the best like left
• 46:12
  Speaker 5: back for either team.
• 46:13
  Speaker 3: And I even even like when was having his like
• 46:17
  Speaker 3: his mental games like before, like even pre pre this year,
• 46:21
  Speaker 3: and like no, no, no, I would still take Demonco
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: that versus Madu Lui from then.
• 46:25
  Speaker 5: You know, that's just me because I'm not big fan
• 46:27
  Speaker 5: of Matui. But uh but.
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: That's that's yeah. But like like that's what I mean,
• 46:34
  Speaker 3: Like it's Demonco there. It's like it's like you can't
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: mind you he does. He has the unfortunate uh stat
• 46:44
  Speaker 3: of like playing in a very specific position. You could
• 46:47
  Speaker 3: argue you could probably put him as a left wing
• 46:49
  Speaker 3: back if you want.
• 46:50
  Speaker 1: There you give him more.
• 46:52
  Speaker 4: Ut you're talking about you're saying, yeah, DeMarco, Yeah, yeah,
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: the left way.
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: That's that's where.
• 46:57
  Speaker 9: That's yeah, I'm talking about like left back, left wing back,
• 47:00
  Speaker 9: you know, so to speak like he has obviously you
• 47:01
  Speaker 9: have both options. I was just saying left back to
• 47:04
  Speaker 9: have the generic position and if you want to be
• 47:06
  Speaker 9: more specific as a left wing back. Sure, Now you
• 47:09
  Speaker 9: probably have an opportunity to include him in every lineup
• 47:12
  Speaker 9: because now he's becoming more it's becoming a bit more
• 47:14
  Speaker 9: part of the midfield rather than the back line, you know,
• 47:17
  Speaker 9: like he still supports the back line, but now he's
• 47:18
  Speaker 9: now he has more of a role in the mid
• 47:21
  Speaker 9: But that's such a niche position that you're mid.
• 47:24
  Speaker 3: That means you're playing five guys in your mid at least.
• 47:27
  Speaker 3: So that's that's where it's it becomes a bit more
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: of a specification. But you would definitely when you have
• 47:34
  Speaker 3: a guy like de Monco, try to find a way
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: to use them on your roster. We can, we can
• 47:38
  Speaker 3: agree with that, but if if we're looking for one
• 47:41
  Speaker 3: for one swaps, you have cases even in Sidia Ah,
• 47:45
  Speaker 3: where you just are like, like you consider it, you're
• 47:49
  Speaker 3: a bit but Barella Babella on any team and say yeah,
• 47:52
  Speaker 3: go ahead, start like like I feel like Beadella is
• 47:55
  Speaker 3: more of a no brainer In Sadia, and I feel
• 47:57
  Speaker 3: like Beadella is a no brainer on any team, and
• 47:59
  Speaker 3: any of the more popular teams in Europe. Like I said,
• 48:02
  Speaker 3: there might be a case where it's like, I'm just
• 48:03
  Speaker 3: not thinking of a team right now that has like
• 48:05
  Speaker 3: three or four guys that you'd rather start in the
• 48:07
  Speaker 3: midfield over batt I don't think there's any team I.
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: Think maybe if I would maybe think of a team
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: just off the top of my head, maybe Real Madrid,
• 48:16
  Speaker 4: I don't know.
• 48:16
  Speaker 1: And yeah, probably just Real.
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: Uh who else do they have Valverde, who I rate
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: a lot, like Okay, let's.
• 48:28
  Speaker 8: Look at their midst They put Tony cruzired.
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: You're right, they played.
• 48:37
  Speaker 5: So you have Jude, you have Camvinga, you have of Madrid.
• 48:43
  Speaker 4: I think he's I think he's I would if I
• 48:46
  Speaker 4: were to say, this is just on the top of
• 48:47
  Speaker 4: my head.
• 48:47
  Speaker 2: But if I were to say I.
• 48:49
  Speaker 4: Would, and for me, well, Jude is Jude, Yeah, no
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: worries about it, Hey, Jude, he's.
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: There, right, Yeah, there, definitely.
• 49:02
  Speaker 6: I would put I would put Bardela overcome A Vinga
• 49:06
  Speaker 6: and Tue Many Yeah, But I don't think I would
• 49:09
  Speaker 6: put in my head of Jude or mad and maybe Valverde.
• 49:15
  Speaker 3: Yeah, yeah, but that's what I'm saying, Like you're still like,
• 49:19
  Speaker 3: now we follow the team with a solid mids.
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: But that's that's an argument, right, that's yeah, the argument
• 49:23
  Speaker 4: like can he and what what he? And some people
• 49:26
  Speaker 4: will say yes, absolutely, and some people will say, well,
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: maybe he's that third fourth guy or maybe yeah he
• 49:32
  Speaker 4: starts no problem.
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: By the way, I don't know.
• 49:36
  Speaker 3: Maybe I'm very late to the party, but I just
• 49:37
  Speaker 3: realized that I'm looking at it rids roster the assistant
• 49:40
  Speaker 3: coach for for realit's David Ancelotti.
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: Maybe I'm very late to the party.
• 49:45
  Speaker 5: Wait, I know, I know, I just I'm sorry.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 49:49
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty sure he was supposed to know.
• 49:50
  Speaker 5: All the assistant coaches of every team.
• 49:52
  Speaker 1: But he was there with I was gonna say it
• 49:55
  Speaker 1: wasn't the assistant and I don't know.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: If he was, that was his role, but he was, Yeah,
• 49:59
  Speaker 2: he was.
• 50:00
  Speaker 1: He was there.
• 50:00
  Speaker 3: But like obviously once they left, I'm like, okay, cool,
• 50:02
  Speaker 3: Like forget, I knew we're at Glotti went, I didn't
• 50:04
  Speaker 3: know where. Maybe, but this doesn't have to follow him, you.
• 50:09
  Speaker 2: Know, it's easy, it's a tail to stand on.
• 50:15
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I understand on guys, what you know, one thing
• 50:18
  Speaker 1: I just wanted to say. You know, the FIFA, the
• 50:21
  Speaker 1: FIFA Pro World eleven came out recently and it's interesting
• 50:25
  Speaker 1: because you know goalkeepers Edison, Defensers, Van Dyk, Rudiger, Ca, Coval,
• 50:32
  Speaker 1: mid belliham Cruz actually made it, Rodrie and de Bruyan
• 50:35
  Speaker 1: and then up front Venecio's Holland and Membappe. But you know,
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: we're talking about this whole left back debate, not a
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: same there's no left back there last year's last year's edition,
• 50:45
  Speaker 1: there was no left back. Twenty twenty two, there was
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: no left back, left back, the left The last left
• 50:50
  Speaker 1: back to be included in the in the Best eleven
• 50:53
  Speaker 1: was David Alba in twenty twenty one and before that
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: was the Fonso Davies in twenty twenty. So you know,
• 50:58
  Speaker 1: that left back position world wise, worldwide, there's not a
• 51:01
  Speaker 1: lot of superstars. So you know, you can't make that
• 51:04
  Speaker 1: argument between Tail and DeMarco who's the best one in
• 51:06
  Speaker 1: the world. You know, throwing Alfonso debuts as well. But uh,
• 51:10
  Speaker 1: you know, back to you know best eleven of the city.
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: You know, I think I think you gotta you know
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: include obviously inter players all over for me, obviously the
• 51:23
  Speaker 1: Mark wombrella there there. I would even put Turam, both
• 51:25
  Speaker 1: Turam and and la Taro Hacken. Hey, I know Adream
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: may not might not like that selection, but you can
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: even throw Hockend's name in. But you know, who's the
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: best goalkeeper in in twenty twenty four. That one's up
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: for debate. Other best defenders. I would even throw in Bramer.
• 51:44
  Speaker 1: Unfortunate that he got his you know, is knee injured.
• 51:49
  Speaker 1: I think it was in October, but goes to show
• 51:52
  Speaker 1: him you've been without him. The defense is kind of
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: a disaster, right.
• 51:56
  Speaker 2: Both the numbers. Man that those numbers, I would allow
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: it to see them, numbers with them and with them out.
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: Is just that alone, just that alone. He has to
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: he has to be on the best eleven. Yeah, I
• 52:07
  Speaker 1: don't know, guys, do you have any any other players?
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: Goalkeeper? I don't know. Goalkeeper is tough.
• 52:13
  Speaker 5: I think I find ten d's are subjective at this
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: point in soccer.
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's it depends on their their defense. You know, yes,
• 52:27
  Speaker 1: you could throw in Summer, but you know, is he
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: the best? I think I think?
• 52:34
  Speaker 4: You know, Yeah, there's a couple of is it the
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: best statistically, is it the best talent wise?
• 52:41
  Speaker 2: Is it the best? You rate that the list goes on.
• 52:44
  Speaker 4: I think like you can put in man there, Yeah,
• 52:47
  Speaker 4: exactly say that right, like Nelon didn't have maybe the
• 52:51
  Speaker 4: season that they wanted, and maybe the statistics are not
• 52:53
  Speaker 4: all there, but this guy time and time again he
• 52:56
  Speaker 4: makes that save, right, like what keeper is going to
• 52:59
  Speaker 4: make that safe? And that time we say, right, we
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: saw it even itaway against France, right that keen opportunity
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: of the last seconds of that of that game. Who
• 53:08
  Speaker 4: made that save at Sancio It was Mike Manyang who
• 53:11
  Speaker 4: made that time we save. Unfortunately, he every year he
• 53:14
  Speaker 4: seems to go down with some sort of injury every year.
• 53:18
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's crazy, but.
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: Uh, you know, going back to even a guy like
• 53:23
  Speaker 4: Don Roma who unfortunately we saw his face today just
• 53:27
  Speaker 4: a crazy incident against Monaco and Liger. We we hope
• 53:31
  Speaker 4: for him to have a good recovery because his face
• 53:35
  Speaker 4: looked like it was disgusting what we saw and I
• 53:38
  Speaker 4: saw a clip it was it was not fun. But
• 53:41
  Speaker 4: going back to Onmo's and say I making those time
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: we saved and you know, I know in hockey, that
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: that that that work comes around a lot, you know,
• 53:48
  Speaker 4: with keepers, you know, making these these these these big saves,
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: these time we saves at the right time, the right moment.
• 53:54
  Speaker 2: They're there who you can count on.
• 53:56
  Speaker 4: Some people are gonna say Manion, But then you go
• 53:58
  Speaker 4: statistically and you go to a guy like Summer. You
• 54:01
  Speaker 4: know this this year, obviously, dig Gordio is having statistically
• 54:05
  Speaker 4: a great year. He's made some great saves, don't get
• 54:07
  Speaker 4: me wrong, but he's there, right carne Seki. This is
• 54:11
  Speaker 4: a recency thing, but he's having some great moments now
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: with at Delanta. So I think, like I agree with
• 54:17
  Speaker 4: Johnny's very subjective. People all have their very various opinions,
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: and there there are ways of going about it. I
• 54:24
  Speaker 4: would just I would throw in Manya's name because I think,
• 54:27
  Speaker 4: like the whole package I think is there from you know,
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: time we save with his he can play with the ball.
• 54:34
  Speaker 2: With his feet, you know, his reflexes.
• 54:37
  Speaker 4: He's the only knock that he has is unfortunately he
• 54:40
  Speaker 4: gets he gets a knock. He's always he always has
• 54:42
  Speaker 4: an injury out a certain point of the year, first
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: a specific period of time, and then he comes back
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: and you know, tries to save me on again, but
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: I would throw in, you know, Manya's.
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: Name into that, into that top eleven if if I could, and.
• 54:59
  Speaker 1: Then I'll just dee Gregorio. Then we're just gonna throw.
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: Alex marat So I don't know what you're saying he
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: has the most.
• 55:09
  Speaker 1: Yeah, you know, Honestlyorio is the show too. You know,
• 55:13
  Speaker 1: he won the goalkeeper of the season last season with
• 55:15
  Speaker 1: Manza comes over to you and you know, again it's
• 55:19
  Speaker 1: so hard to judge goalkeepers because yes, he's a lot
• 55:23
  Speaker 1: more goals recently, but a lot of it's really not
• 55:26
  Speaker 1: his fault, right, bad defense, you know. But at the
• 55:30
  Speaker 1: same time, he hasn't he hasn't exactly stolen a game yet.
• 55:34
  Speaker 1: I know he had a big save the other day
• 55:36
  Speaker 1: against Cality, but.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: Even against City then I saw, yes, yes, a nice.
• 55:42
  Speaker 1: Towards the end against City too, but those aren't moments
• 55:45
  Speaker 1: where the game was stolen because you know, so it's tough.
• 55:48
  Speaker 1: It's tough, Johnny. I don't know, do you have any
• 55:51
  Speaker 1: other players you'd consider for his best eleven? This is
• 55:55
  Speaker 1: informal college, you guys. Best eleven?
• 55:58
  Speaker 2: Other positions are just keeper?
• 56:01
  Speaker 1: Anything?
• 56:01
  Speaker 2: Yeah, anything, Johnny? What you say, I don't know where the.
• 56:05
  Speaker 1: Forwards again to hear them, I guess I gave a
• 56:08
  Speaker 1: show to Lotaro Tom you know, let's let's throw in,
• 56:14
  Speaker 1: let's throw on Red Tiggy.
• 56:16
  Speaker 5: No, but like what were the other they had the
• 56:17
  Speaker 5: forwards in the like the the and then the eleven
• 56:22
  Speaker 5: that you gave it was the world one.
• 56:25
  Speaker 1: In the World, Vinicius Holland and Mamape.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I know it's hard. I don't.
• 56:33
  Speaker 3: I don't know, like if there's anybody else, like a
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: b off the top of my head that I could say,
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: like put them in there.
• 56:39
  Speaker 4: I mean, while you're talking, Nick, you're talking about we're
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: talking about Yeah, we' talk about world.
• 56:44
  Speaker 5: Yeah, that's that's why I thought.
• 56:46
  Speaker 2: Sorry that only Yeah, uh what for forwards? Yeah, Lotto,
• 56:51
  Speaker 2: the Red Taggi, Lukeman.
• 56:54
  Speaker 5: Yeah, I think Keen is too recent to is too recent.
• 57:00
  Speaker 2: I agree.
• 57:01
  Speaker 3: We can maybe say that Orcelini gets a shout out
• 57:05
  Speaker 3: last year, Yeah, for last year and this year he's
• 57:08
  Speaker 3: doing okay, given the fact that he lost a lot
• 57:10
  Speaker 3: on quality.
• 57:11
  Speaker 2: He's got injured too now, so yeah, it's an ideal. Yeah,
• 57:16
  Speaker 2: he deserves a shout. At least I'm trying to think
• 57:19
  Speaker 2: other midfielders maybe, or defenders. Bastoni.
• 57:29
  Speaker 5: Bastoni is a great shout Bastoni.
• 57:32
  Speaker 2: I think is it almost seems always about Bastoni.
• 57:35
  Speaker 1: Let's go Baser, the Triple Bees, the Triple Bes, at
• 57:39
  Speaker 1: least the center back. Our teams are getting like fifteen
• 57:42
  Speaker 1: sixteen players at this point, but you know it's allowing
• 57:45
  Speaker 1: it we need.
• 57:46
  Speaker 3: But I'm trying to think, like, honestly, I don't really
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: seem much more to add, you know, like even bud
• 57:52
  Speaker 3: Jono himself, I I I.
• 57:56
  Speaker 5: I'd be too like, I'm not too like he was.
• 58:00
  Speaker 2: He was great.
• 58:01
  Speaker 4: He was great with with Torino, and he had what
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: was that there was a stat he had like the
• 58:07
  Speaker 4: most duels want I believe as a center back, as
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: a defender. Sorry for Torino if I'm not mistaken, don't
• 58:13
  Speaker 4: quote me because I don't remember. But and then he
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: came into that point and again, yeah, he's had maybe
• 58:18
  Speaker 4: his off games, but I think he's still been a rock.
• 58:20
  Speaker 2: I don't know he's really improved.
• 58:22
  Speaker 5: You're still rock.
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're all still going to rock. But no, I
• 58:27
  Speaker 2: don't know. I think he's still listen, He's no, he's not.
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: But stony he's he's not but stony when I said,
• 58:38
  Speaker 4: he can be bunning off too if he wants. But
• 58:40
  Speaker 4: right now, right so that's that's where he is.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: He's there. I don't know, Uh, throw his name in there,
• 58:49
  Speaker 2: you know, I don't know Reindeers, reinders for for Milan.
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: I know it's it's been.
• 58:54
  Speaker 4: It's been incredible. Uh maybe more of a recent thing,
• 58:58
  Speaker 4: but he's been incredible. I think even postage I think
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: should be thrown in there as another name. Captain America.
• 59:04
  Speaker 4: I think he's uh, he's I mean, unfortunately now that
• 59:08
  Speaker 4: he got injured, but he's he's shown since he came
• 59:11
  Speaker 4: in to said, yeah that he's been he's a force.
• 59:13
  Speaker 4: So yeah, I would throw him in there, Uh, for
• 59:18
  Speaker 4: for sure. I don't know what I'm trying to think.
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to think of other mids besides like the
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: Barillas of the world, and besides of is there I
• 59:29
  Speaker 4: don't even know, like besides charl Ogul, which I don't
• 59:32
  Speaker 4: want a name, but Nickel name.
• 59:33
  Speaker 2: Him for me.
• 59:36
  Speaker 7: I I'm I'm maybe I'm blanking, but I don't know, Uh,
• 59:45
  Speaker 7: trying to think like who we put like kind of
• 59:47
  Speaker 7: like even like last year's like team of the season
• 59:50
  Speaker 7: and my team of the Year and all.
• 59:51
  Speaker 1: That, the couch the city awards like best Keeper, DiGregorio,
• 59:57
  Speaker 1: Best Defender, Bustoni, best Man hot Con, best Strike reduce San,
• 1:00:02
  Speaker 1: Best Young Player erk Uh and then the m v
• 1:00:05
  Speaker 1: P was Lo Taro.
• 1:00:08
  Speaker 2: Besides, besides, like the Cola Fiordes and like the in
• 1:00:11
  Speaker 2: the world, we're not no longer no six months like
• 1:00:14
  Speaker 2: they were good for six months. Doesn't care. That's that's true.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: That's true. But I had an influential uh you know,
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 2: display with them. But yeah, no, I think uh so
• 1:00:27
  Speaker 2: in goal, who would we say?
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 4: I would say, man, I don't think whatever agree on
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 4: this one will never agree. It's okay, so we'll say
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: Manya slash Summer slash not Meret defenders, the triple bs.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 4: I think we can agree.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 1: And then you got to throw in two wing backs,
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 1: Marco and Hernan. You got you got two goalkeepers and nets.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 1: You got five defenders. We got how many?
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 2: How many? So we got two minutes? How many minutes
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 2: we need?
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: Now we're going two minds. How can umbrella screw? Okay,
• 1:01:02
  Speaker 1: unless unless you can't pull such as a mid uh
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: well as a cam Yeah, okay, he's a mid in
• 1:01:09
  Speaker 1: our in our case.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: As a cam he can fit as a camera, and
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 4: then the tour striker, the too attackers or Lataro and.
• 1:01:18
  Speaker 2: No you said so turam off the bench. Who's the coach?
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 2: Who would be the coach just.
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: Because he won the.
• 1:01:27
  Speaker 2: Or like just because I love him Bustard, both of them,
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 2: or maybe Gasparini. I don't know.
• 1:01:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I would probably Sayini to be honest with you,
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 3: especially with how he continues this year as well. You
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 3: know he's bringing out Tolanta into a legit scudetto position.
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 3: He went to Europa League and now you're contending for
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 3: the league title. I think Gasperini gets the shout for
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 3: the calendar year.
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 2: Of the coach, the coach fromager. Yeah, that's.
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it's between I think. I mean, it's not like
• 1:02:00
  Speaker 4: open a side. It's between Gus Pardini and orn Zagie
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 4: Gasperini for sure, allegedly. Maybe that's what me one needs.
• 1:02:08
  Speaker 4: Maybe me one needs alleged.
• 1:02:10
  Speaker 2: I don't know, to save the season. I don't know, guys.
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 2: I'm I'm losing it with one seconds. It's crazy.
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: So you heard it here first.
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 2: On the culture guys, but uh, yeah, that we had
• 1:02:23
  Speaker 2: we're going to name or anything else. I don't know.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: I think I think, I think that kind of covers
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: it for the best eleven Uh yeah, bench guys, Yeah, yeah,
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: that's fifteen best. We can't make any best that twenty
• 1:02:39
  Speaker 1: two because we can't make a decision.
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 2: Well when when can Italians make decisions? Nay? They have
• 1:02:47
  Speaker 2: all more?
• 1:02:50
  Speaker 1: Yeah, all right, guys, before we head into twenty twenty five.
• 1:02:55
  Speaker 2: If there was this is the this is crazy. I
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 2: can't believe we've already come to the last of it's crazy.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 1:03:02
  Speaker 1: Uh, fifty one episode fifty one before twenty twenty five.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: So quarter mark of the century is pretty pretty crazy,
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: but not the quarter mark. Yeah, the quarter market is. Yeah,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: that makes it quarter mark of the century twenty five years, centuries,
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: one hundred. Yeah, if you guys, if you're.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 2: We're smart guys, I trust Oh that's another thing you
• 1:03:25
  Speaker 2: want to I know what you're gonna say, but go ahead.
• 1:03:27
  Speaker 1: Yeah, if you if you had a New Year's resolution
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 1: for your team, what would it be? What would it be?
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: Because I think mine, mine's easy for you ads win.
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: Stop drawing. Draws are boring, man, You know, like you
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: finished the game exactly how it started with.
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 2: You didn't even even have a up sometimes even.
• 1:03:47
  Speaker 1: Number of going. You know, like, okay, sure to two
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 1: draws better than a zero zero game. Sure, but like
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: I want to see I want to see winners and losers.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: Yere.
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 1: You know, we're not about giving up participation trophies one
• 1:03:59
  Speaker 1: point each, guys. We need some three points even if
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 1: you've loses it.
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 2: That's okay.
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: You know, at least if they lose, it'll put some
• 1:04:06
  Speaker 1: more pressure, more pressure on on Matan management to do something,
• 1:04:11
  Speaker 1: because now they're just using an excuse, Oh, we haven't won,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 1: we haven't lost the game. Yeah, but you've also drawn
• 1:04:15
  Speaker 1: ten won six in the city. That's crazy. Sixteen games
• 1:04:20
  Speaker 1: and they've only won six. If if you told me
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 1: at the beginning of the season that sixteen games in
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 1: you would only win six games, I'd be like, hey,
• 1:04:27
  Speaker 1: where are the eleven twelve in the table? No, okay,
• 1:04:30
  Speaker 1: they're in six. So they're still in control of their
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 1: own destiny, right, but it's frustrating.
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 2: Nah, but that's it.
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 1: How about you, guys.
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 2: Neuro's resolution Johnny has two of them.
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 3: Yeah, Roma, stop sucking, not ply, so Roma just just
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 3: find something, just find something and just write out and
• 1:04:50
  Speaker 3: just don't don't don't relegate yourself for Napoly. Find consistency,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 3: find your your dry find like what makes you like,
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 3: like what do you guys do absolutely best? And how
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 3: to keep on repeating those results, because that's what that's
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 3: what's going to turn this team from being like a
• 1:05:08
  Speaker 3: rejuvenated team into a scudetto contender, potential scudetto winner. So
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 3: that's what you if you're if you're if you're an appoly, that's.
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 5: What my resolution is.
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I just even really just go for it because
• 1:05:21
  Speaker 4: I think they have This is the year where they
• 1:05:23
  Speaker 4: can really just truly go. We've said it and we'll
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 4: continue to say until probably the end. But Yeah, for
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: me on I mean, it's.
• 1:05:37
  Speaker 2: A probably a combination of both what these.
• 1:05:40
  Speaker 4: Guys said to be honest, whin and find consistency because
• 1:05:44
  Speaker 4: they have neither.
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately, I guess.
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: Find I mean, I can't believe it's week sixteen and
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: we're still trying to say this, but I heard Leo
• 1:05:57
  Speaker 4: quote from Laos saying, yeah, we're just starting to get
• 1:06:00
  Speaker 4: uh uh, you know, into the groove of what FUNSECA wants. Guys,
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 4: It's week sixteen and we haven't figured out what Funseca
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: wants and how he wants to play.
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 2: We don't know our starting best starting in eleven some
• 1:06:12
  Speaker 2: games or most times.
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: We struggle against teams we shouldn't be struggling against. Uh,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: you know, defensively has been a nightmare. Uh you know,
• 1:06:23
  Speaker 4: besides Magnon defensively, I'm talking about just strictly, the defense
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: has been atrocious. So I think, you know, a combination
• 1:06:33
  Speaker 4: of of consistency, finding your best eleven, no more excuses,
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 4: and you know, pushing for top four. I mean, that's
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: those are the those are the checkboxes currently for for
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 4: me on. So if they can, if they can do
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 4: at least half of those things, I think that will
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: be in in decent shape come the new year or
• 1:06:54
  Speaker 4: into the new year, because what's work, what's going on
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: right now as unfortunately not good enough at at the
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: rate that it's going. So with consistency, I can see
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: them doing some positive things. Without it, it's gonna be
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 4: same weekend, week out, the same same thing, same old thing.
• 1:07:13
  Speaker 2: It's not gonna change. So yeah, that's what I would
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 2: say New Yor's resolution. It's it's what it is.
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: It's not like you know, I'm gonna. I'm gonna go
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 4: to the gym. I'm gonna maybe stop eating someut at midnight. Smack,
• 1:07:32
  Speaker 4: I'm gonna, you know, way off on the coffee.
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna. Guys. We need to win. We want to win.
• 1:07:38
  Speaker 4: We need a top four and fortunate scuo get to
• 1:07:41
  Speaker 4: maybe a bit out of reach. We want to win
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: consistently and have a consistent.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 2: Positive, positive games. But that's I guess, I guess our
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 2: our resolutions are basically the same. It's consistency and win.
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: But it seems like that's like kind of the state
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: of all our clubs currently, so we'll leave it at that.
• 1:08:04
  Speaker 1: You are here first, guys. That's what if we were
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 1: in control of our clubs, which we're not. You know,
• 1:08:11
  Speaker 1: we're sitting here in our homes and more chal Quebec.
