- 1:17Speaker 7: Yeah, we're not gonna get it from Nick right because that's.
- 1:21Speaker 8: Sorry.
- 1:22Speaker 3: It is more it is uh culture. Guys.
- 1:24Speaker 1: You could follow us on Twitter, fins, Twitter, Facebook, Instagram, YouTube,
- 1:29Speaker 1: listen to us on all your favorite podcasting platforms. But
- 1:32Speaker 1: before we get into the Coultro stuff, Guys, since the
- 1:35Speaker 1: last time we've had you on, you opened a bakery
- 1:37Speaker 1: in Rochester. Uh so you really combined your your love
- 1:41Speaker 1: for for cultural with pizza and I mean just tell us,
- 1:44Speaker 1: tell us about that.
- 1:46Speaker 6: Yeah, I think it's we're really just trying to bring
- 1:48Speaker 6: the authentic taste of Italy back to back to Rochester.
- 1:52Speaker 6: H focusing on Roman style pizza, you know, the heart
- 1:57Speaker 6: of Roman style pastries as well as of our fans
- 2:00Speaker 6: recipes and whatnot breads. We also started making our own
- 2:04Speaker 6: gelato in house.
- 2:06Speaker 2: So honestly it's a little piece of everything at this point.
- 2:08Speaker 6: But we also love throwing in like little pieces of
- 2:11Speaker 6: culture or you know, little things that we love right
- 2:16Speaker 6: doing anything else.
- 2:17Speaker 8: Yeah, I mean Calcho being one of those things. Right,
- 2:20Speaker 8: Like when you go into our bakery, the walls are
- 2:22Speaker 8: just littered.
- 2:23Speaker 9: With scarves, jerseys, everything, you know. For any any major game,
- 2:29Speaker 9: we got the games on doing watch parties with a
- 2:31Speaker 9: bunch of people, so you know, it's incredible.
- 2:33Speaker 8: It's been incredible, incredible.
- 2:35Speaker 9: To see how many Calcho fans are in Rochester, and
- 2:38Speaker 9: I think it's you know, I think it's just a
- 2:42Speaker 9: small sample of like what the reality is of the
- 2:46Speaker 9: United States and also Canada that you know, there are
- 2:48Speaker 9: a lot of SETI afans and it's just great to
- 2:52Speaker 9: see that kind of coming back out with the league,
- 2:55Speaker 9: you know, in a better place than it's been for
- 2:58Speaker 9: last fifteen years or so.
- 2:59Speaker 5: So and I just remind me, remind us, guys, it's
- 3:02Speaker 5: been how long that you guys are open up?
- 3:05Speaker 9: Since January twenty twenty four, and it's been you know,
- 3:09Speaker 9: growing like crazy. We've been really you know, excited, and
- 3:14Speaker 9: I think just honored that the community has kind of
- 3:17Speaker 9: gotten together behind the ingredients because you know, we really
- 3:22Speaker 9: are using the best possible ingredients we can get, and
- 3:25Speaker 9: oftentimes that means we're not making as much money as
- 3:28Speaker 9: we'd like to or that we'd be the most comfortable doing.
- 3:30Speaker 9: But I think really the focus for us is just
- 3:33Speaker 9: how do we take that feeling of when you're in Rome,
- 3:35Speaker 9: when you stop and you get a piece of pizza
- 3:36Speaker 9: and complete feel do you.
- 3:38Speaker 8: You know anywhere really in Italy?
- 3:40Speaker 9: Also just trying to replicate that feeling, and I think
- 3:43Speaker 9: we're doing a really good job. And yeah, just trying
- 3:48Speaker 9: to keep it as authentic as we possibly can.
- 3:51Speaker 7: Now I'm saying it's in a congratulate early way, like
- 3:53Speaker 7: you know, you guys have been saying it's been expanding,
- 3:55Speaker 7: it's been getting big and stuff, and it's been about
- 3:58Speaker 7: what a year and a half almost now that it's
- 3:59Speaker 7: been over been was this something you guys originally envisioned
- 4:02Speaker 7: to like get to this point by like like we're
- 4:04Speaker 7: expected to be like excised by why time? Or has
- 4:07Speaker 7: this growth been like so like surprising in a good
- 4:10Speaker 7: way that you know it feels like a little bit
- 4:13Speaker 7: overwhelming at times or you feel like, no, we got this,
- 4:15Speaker 7: we can handle it, Like how like how's it going
- 4:17Speaker 7: for you guys?
- 4:17Speaker 9: I let Billy to take that one because he feels
- 4:20Speaker 9: the most overwhelmed of the most.
- 4:22Speaker 2: I think I think it's been surprising, obviously in a
- 4:26Speaker 2: good way.
- 4:27Speaker 6: We always knew we knew we had the product, and
- 4:30Speaker 6: we knew we had the passion. But I think the
- 4:33Speaker 6: way we've been to kind of the way we've been
- 4:36Speaker 6: to really display it and show it.
- 4:38Speaker 2: I think it's been has been the cool.
- 4:40Speaker 6: Thing is it's been the phone part and the way
- 4:42Speaker 6: it's stuck really in the community and really kind of.
- 4:46Speaker 2: Getting people to.
- 4:50Speaker 6: How do I say it, almost like see their family's
- 4:53Speaker 6: history and what we're they're doing. Like half the time
- 4:55Speaker 6: people come in, they tell us about where their family's from,
- 4:58Speaker 6: or they're right from Italy, or they just went to
- 5:00Speaker 6: Italy and there.
- 5:02Speaker 2: And this reminds us, that reminds them of that.
- 5:04Speaker 6: So it's kind of stuff like that that has really
- 5:06Speaker 6: been the most surprising and kind of what has what
- 5:10Speaker 6: has really stuck so far. And I think it shows
- 5:13Speaker 6: in our authenticity and and kind of the fact that
- 5:16Speaker 6: people do like that and and you know it's all
- 5:19Speaker 6: our family working.
- 5:20Speaker 2: And it's all our friends hanging out.
- 5:22Speaker 6: So I think it's that's been really the most surprising
- 5:25Speaker 6: part is is kind of how that stuff is stuck
- 5:27Speaker 6: with certain you know, certain things of people's past. The
- 5:32Speaker 6: overwhelming part, Yeah, that's that's the whole different side. And
- 5:37Speaker 6: you know, running the business and being uh being the
- 5:40Speaker 6: head baker, the head pizzolo, the head.
- 5:43Speaker 7: Of h R, the stock check afterwards exactly.
- 5:51Speaker 2: I say, the easy part is making the pizza.
- 5:54Speaker 6: The hard part is dealing with the employees, especially the
- 5:59Speaker 6: employees that aren't family are the easy one.
- 6:01Speaker 2: It's the families that.
- 6:03Speaker 4: It's always the case. It's always the case, but.
- 6:05Speaker 7: You can't, like you can't tell off like your family.
- 6:08Speaker 7: Sometimes you'll be like, oh, I don't know what.
- 6:13Speaker 2: The one guy's great is my aunt who's driving me?
- 6:17Speaker 5: But I think that's just even the beauty of it, right,
- 6:19Speaker 5: like waking up every day getting to the bakery and
- 6:22Speaker 5: you know, you're with family, you're with friends. You know,
- 6:24Speaker 5: it's it's a product that you're proud of, and you know,
- 6:26Speaker 5: I think it's the power of social media is what
- 6:29Speaker 5: brought us to you guys, right, and we've been very
- 6:31Speaker 5: supportive of each other throughout this time that we've kind
- 6:34Speaker 5: of connected online. I'm guessing you've gotten a lot of
- 6:38Speaker 5: you know, positivity on your social media.
- 6:40Speaker 4: Like I see you guys always posting and stuff like that.
- 6:42Speaker 5: What's kind of been maybe you guys, like you know,
- 6:45Speaker 5: maybe best moments you know, since since opening the doors
- 6:48Speaker 5: and just whatever you are you so far most proud of?
- 6:55Speaker 8: Uh yeah, I'm trying to think best moments. I don't know.
- 7:01Speaker 8: I you know, it's hard to say.
- 7:02Speaker 9: There's not like you know, there's not like one moment
- 7:06Speaker 9: so to speak, like, you know, we had the Buffalo
- 7:07Speaker 9: Bills all come in.
- 7:09Speaker 2: That was really cool.
- 7:10Speaker 9: So Josh Allen, he won the m v P like
- 7:13Speaker 9: that season. So you know, we like to think that
- 7:15Speaker 9: for powers.
- 7:17Speaker 4: You had to play a piece of play in that definitely.
- 7:21Speaker 8: But yeah, there we go. There's some Buffalo Bills.
- 7:24Speaker 4: No, I mean, I know is there.
- 7:28Speaker 8: You know he's been in, but he's not there.
- 7:31Speaker 2: That's the eats a lot man. That guy. I've never
- 7:34Speaker 2: seen a guy.
- 7:42Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 7:42Speaker 9: I think.
- 7:43Speaker 6: I think some of the moments is like we've gotten
- 7:45Speaker 6: messages from people. One specifically comes to mind. There was
- 7:50Speaker 6: a cross stop the quota that we do and a
- 7:53Speaker 6: girl had it and she said it like instantly almost
- 7:56Speaker 6: had her tear up because it's reminded like of her
- 7:59Speaker 6: how you heard you hour known it.
- 8:00Speaker 2: Used to make it.
- 8:01Speaker 6: So it's like, I don't know, it's like little stuff
- 8:03Speaker 6: like that that kind of like I don't want to say,
- 8:06Speaker 6: keeps you going, but kind of keeps it fun, keeps
- 8:08Speaker 6: the passion strong, and you're kind of like affecting.
- 8:10Speaker 2: People like that. So it's I don't know, We've kind
- 8:14Speaker 2: of stacked together a lot of little moments.
- 8:15Speaker 9: Like that that have been or like, you know, another
- 8:18Speaker 9: example of that was I had a guy come into
- 8:22Speaker 9: the bakery one day, and I guess he lives in
- 8:24Speaker 9: New York.
- 8:24Speaker 8: I don't know why he's in Rochester.
- 8:26Speaker 9: But a couple of weeks later, I don't even know
- 8:28Speaker 9: how this guy, you know how Italians are, I don't
- 8:29Speaker 9: even know how.
- 8:29Speaker 8: He got my phone number. I get a call from
- 8:32Speaker 8: this guy. You know, his voice is all muffled.
- 8:34Speaker 9: He's like Joe most stop it off, and you know,
- 8:39Speaker 9: he's like me, He's like, did you get my package?
- 8:42Speaker 8: I'm like, what package? He's like, oh, I sent you
- 8:44Speaker 8: a package. It never got Like a month later, I
- 8:46Speaker 8: opened this package.
- 8:47Speaker 9: It's like this huge Knopoly flag, this huge melon flag.
- 8:51Speaker 9: He like donated it to us from his family, like
- 8:54Speaker 9: wrote on it with a sharpiet.
- 8:56Speaker 2: You know.
- 8:56Speaker 9: It's just like there's so many things like that, like
- 8:59Speaker 9: people in like you know, people have been dropping off scarves,
- 9:02Speaker 9: like we probably get a scarf of you know, some
- 9:04Speaker 9: Italian team every month or so.
- 9:07Speaker 8: So now we're like, you know, we're kind of thinking
- 9:09Speaker 8: about the space.
- 9:10Speaker 9: We've got to make some changes, but we're gonna need
- 9:12Speaker 9: to take everything down, so we need to make more space.
- 9:14Speaker 9: And we saw in the photo like our walls are
- 9:17Speaker 9: completely covered with with all this stuff.
- 9:19Speaker 6: Yeah, I say another another pretty cool thing is we
- 9:24Speaker 6: also were able to.
- 9:27Speaker 2: Put our logo and sponsor our our hometown, our hometown
- 9:31Speaker 2: team in Basilicata in Italy.
- 9:34Speaker 4: That's awesome, that's awesome.
- 9:36Speaker 2: Yes, we're able to throw our throw our logo on it.
- 9:39Speaker 2: It's just like it's it's just funny.
- 9:41Speaker 4: That's a dream, that's true.
- 9:43Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 9:43Speaker 2: So it's like it's just little stuff like that. It's
- 9:46Speaker 2: just like it's just fun.
- 9:50Speaker 7: So I think what what's like the big beauty of
- 9:53Speaker 7: it is that you know, some communities are bigger than others,
- 9:57Speaker 7: so they still have easier access to the roots, uh
- 10:00Speaker 7: of like of like our our our ethnicities and stuff,
- 10:03Speaker 7: and you know, just to have I guess that in
- 10:06Speaker 7: Rochester is still very nice. I'm not saying it's a
- 10:08Speaker 7: small community in Rochester, but you know what I mean,
- 10:10Speaker 7: like it's not a place that when everyone thinks like
- 10:13Speaker 7: Italian communities in New York, first thing they think of
- 10:15Speaker 7: is obviously in New York City, but it's and and
- 10:19Speaker 7: with the roots obviously come the interest and stuff. So
- 10:21Speaker 7: you guys said, you guys host watch parties for the
- 10:24Speaker 7: different city games. Which team or teams I guess usually
- 10:28Speaker 7: tracks the most customers to the store whenever those games happen,
- 10:31Speaker 7: or like, what's like the most popular I guess fan
- 10:33Speaker 7: club there and in your neck of.
- 10:35Speaker 8: The woods, Melan. It's got to be Melan.
- 10:39Speaker 9: We were most closely associated with the Roma Club here
- 10:43Speaker 9: in Rochester, Like we're super active in and we have
- 10:46Speaker 9: group chats with them. We're always talking with them. But
- 10:49Speaker 9: like we did a watch party for HM which which
- 10:55Speaker 9: Melan game? Was it?
- 10:56Speaker 8: Last year? Billy where we had it was?
- 10:59Speaker 9: It was Romean Okay, and we had probably twenty milionaise
- 11:02Speaker 9: to come out.
- 11:03Speaker 8: Wow, nice off off like a story, you know what
- 11:05Speaker 8: I mean?
- 11:06Speaker 9: This wasn't there wasn't anything like an official given away
- 11:09Speaker 9: or official No. I was just like, you know, we're
- 11:11Speaker 9: gonna be a watch party for Roma, Milan and play.
- 11:15Speaker 6: I would say, even probably more than you, I think probably, yeah,
- 11:18Speaker 6: probably bigger in tongue.
- 11:20Speaker 7: Wait, that's not a problem. I think we accept that.
- 11:22Speaker 4: I like to hear that I like to hear that.
- 11:24Speaker 4: I saw. I saw our boy Frankle from New York
- 11:28Speaker 4: come out and try your try your stuff. And he's
- 11:31Speaker 4: a great guy, you know from from what I heard
- 11:33Speaker 4: over there, he really enjoyed it.
- 11:35Speaker 2: So yeah, he picked he picked the wrong team, but
- 11:37Speaker 2: he's a great guy.
- 11:38Speaker 4: No, well I don't know about that, but yeah, the
- 11:42Speaker 4: product is there.
- 11:47Speaker 1: Uh. I think I feel like it's perfect transition. We
- 11:49Speaker 1: could actually talk about culture now. But actually we do
- 11:52Speaker 1: have one question. Well it's from yourself, Mo, but it's
- 11:56Speaker 1: perfect question. Best pizza spot in Rome. I feel like
- 12:00Speaker 1: even if you didn't ask this, we would have still
- 12:03Speaker 1: brought up before we get to Caltro, before we talk
- 12:07Speaker 1: about the game in Rome this past weekend. Gotta give
- 12:10Speaker 1: you got to give us your favorite pizza spot in
- 12:12Speaker 1: Rome person.
- 12:15Speaker 6: For me, it's I kind of model a lot of
- 12:18Speaker 6: what we do after Funnel Company Fiori and just kind
- 12:22Speaker 6: of their like style of true like authentic like bakery,
- 12:27Speaker 6: like you know, just like it's it's my personal favorite pizza.
- 12:31Speaker 2: They're not doing too much.
- 12:32Speaker 6: There's not too many toppings like the pizza Rosa is
- 12:35Speaker 6: King and stuff like that.
- 12:37Speaker 2: So there, that's kind of what I modeled a lot after.
- 12:39Speaker 6: I know my brother when he was in jewelry school
- 12:42Speaker 6: in Rome, he spent time at a lot of different places.
- 12:44Speaker 2: Has a different answer than me, but that's it for me.
- 12:48Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean I agree, it's you know, company Fiordi is.
- 12:53Speaker 8: One of the best.
- 12:56Speaker 2: I would go.
- 12:57Speaker 9: There's a spot in Multi, so this is something you
- 13:01Speaker 9: might have to like search out if you're going to Rome,
- 13:03Speaker 9: you might not walk right by it, but Multi great
- 13:07Speaker 9: grade zone. You have a lot of like secondhand thrift shopping,
- 13:11Speaker 9: which is really nice near a lot of great stuff,
- 13:15Speaker 9: a lot of really cool restaurants bars. But there's a
- 13:19Speaker 9: pizzaedia called Pizzaedia Bocacca. And this place is like it's
- 13:26Speaker 9: a small hidden gem, Like you go in there, nothing
- 13:28Speaker 9: but pizza, super small, like everyone's kind of like squeezing
- 13:31Speaker 9: by each other, but they just do like classic pizza Romana.
- 13:36Speaker 9: They got you know, anywhere from six to eight pans
- 13:40Speaker 9: out at any time, and I don't know, man, it's crispy,
- 13:44Speaker 9: it's it's.
- 13:45Speaker 8: Everything you want a pizza Romana. So I definitely highly
- 13:48Speaker 8: recommend checking them out.
- 13:50Speaker 4: Guys, write it down.
- 13:52Speaker 5: We're gonna have to keep that on the on the
- 13:54Speaker 5: on the on.
- 13:55Speaker 4: The bucket list of places to go.
- 13:56Speaker 5: I guess, yeah, well known, uh we were saying a
- 14:02Speaker 5: bit off air there. I know me and Nick went
- 14:04Speaker 5: to Bunchie back in twenty nineteen. I know that's very
- 14:06Speaker 5: popular on social media. It's it was another you know,
- 14:11Speaker 5: top place for us. I was there back in October.
- 14:14Speaker 5: It was just another like restaurant, pizzeria. It was called Lotto.
- 14:19Speaker 5: It was really good. It was closer to you know,
- 14:21Speaker 5: the Vatican side. But I think it's plate, isn't there.
- 14:24Speaker 4: I think in that area, which again very local spot.
- 14:28Speaker 5: It was all locals in there, So I guess you know,
- 14:31Speaker 5: when you're Italy and you see all the locals in
- 14:32Speaker 5: in some spot, you know it's you know, it's top right.
- 14:35Speaker 5: So yeah, man, But there's so many, like I feel,
- 14:38Speaker 5: there's just so many places so that you can just
- 14:40Speaker 5: walk into hitting gym you won't even know, and and
- 14:43Speaker 5: you'll hit the jackpot on on some good food.
- 14:47Speaker 7: I can't even talk because last time I was in
- 14:48Speaker 7: Rome was about almost two year actually two years ago,
- 14:51Speaker 7: and I didn't a chance to try pizza because I
- 14:53Speaker 7: was there just for the game. And I went back
- 14:55Speaker 7: to the Florence to go back to go back to
- 14:57Speaker 7: my cousin's place. But I'm just saying, if you.
- 15:00Speaker 8: Go to you.
- 15:04Speaker 7: Or if you go to the nearby towns, I'll give
- 15:05Speaker 7: you the pizza.

- 15:15Speaker 9: I'm gonna spend I'm gonna spend a few weeks in Albersa.

- 16:13Speaker 7: have some Italian friends that moved from Italy to Hear
- 16:16Speaker 7: because of obviously the economy and stuff and trying to
- 16:18Speaker 7: like you know, build a life for themselves and a
- 16:21Speaker 7: couple the husband's not the wife is. They're getting married
- 16:26Speaker 7: Innopoly this summer, and I'm would be there too. Problem
- 16:29Speaker 7: is they're getting married during August, during Dago stuff, so
- 16:33Speaker 7: I'm not gonna be I was just checking to see
- 16:34Speaker 7: if we're gonna cross paths. It's been nice, but.
- 16:38Speaker 8: You're you're gonna need to bring too suits.
- 16:39Speaker 5: Yeah, yeah, it's gonna be wet.
- 16:44Speaker 9: Bro.
- 16:45Speaker 3: Yeah, I was. I was in Italy for.
- 16:50Speaker 4: Just gonna like yeah, I was in.
- 16:53Speaker 1: Italy for two weddings last summer, and the second one
- 16:57Speaker 1: was on you know, it was an afternoon wedding and yeah.
- 17:01Speaker 3: That was that was hot.
- 17:02Speaker 4: I was hot.
- 17:04Speaker 5: My cousin got married this past April, so it wasn't
- 17:06Speaker 5: too bad for me. But you know, it's it gets hot.
- 17:10Speaker 8: So August is crazy, Yeah crazy, that's wild.
- 17:13Speaker 1: Yeah, guys, you know, before we talk out, I just
- 17:16Speaker 1: want to say it's it's honestly awesome talking about just food.
- 17:19Speaker 1: Italian food. It's part of our culture, right, and it's good.
- 17:22Speaker 1: It's cool that you guys brought this over to North America.
- 17:24Speaker 1: You know, here in Montreal we have some good, you know,
- 17:28Speaker 1: good restaurants as well. And obviously, you know, Montreal's bigger
- 17:31Speaker 1: city than Rochester, and there's uh, there's probably more Italian
- 17:34Speaker 1: immigrants Montreal too, but it's good to see that in
- 17:37Speaker 1: you know, a town like Rochester. I don't know how
- 17:39Speaker 1: many people live in Rochester. What's the population.
- 17:41Speaker 8: It's like four hundred thousand.
- 17:42Speaker 1: Yeah, okay, you know, good, good size. But you know,
- 17:46Speaker 1: considering guys try to be authentic as possible. And you know,
- 17:49Speaker 1: anybody can make a pizza and claim it's the best
- 17:52Speaker 1: pizza in the world, but in reality it's you know
- 17:55Speaker 1: it nothing beats a true authentic Italian pizza. So it's
- 17:58Speaker 1: first of all, grats guys for what you're doing. And also,
- 18:01Speaker 1: I I really love talking about it and I'm starving
- 18:04Speaker 1: now to but uh, it was on.
- 18:09Speaker 8: Where we Wednesday night and I'm starting, I mean, like
- 18:12Speaker 8: you guys.
- 18:13Speaker 4: Go for some pizza, you know, just.
- 18:15Speaker 8: To kind of give it back to you.
- 18:17Speaker 2: Guys.
- 18:17Speaker 9: We love what you guys are doing obviously have since
- 18:20Speaker 9: since the early days. So appreciate you guys having us
- 18:23Speaker 9: on and excited the chats and Coucho.
- 18:26Speaker 3: Of course, of course, thank you. We appreciate that.
- 18:29Speaker 1: Uh, but perfect timing and it worked out because we
- 18:32Speaker 1: got uh, we had Roma Melon. Normally we talking and
- 18:36Speaker 1: Janney for this type of game, but it works out.
- 18:38Speaker 1: You guys are our brothers. Billy, you're the Roma fan.
- 18:42Speaker 1: Mo you're the Mealon fan. Even though you're wearing the
- 18:44Speaker 1: Roma sweater.
- 18:45Speaker 8: I got the Roma sweater.
- 18:46Speaker 4: Even the Roma sweater makes sense.
- 18:52Speaker 3: So first of all, did you guys watch the game together?
- 18:55Speaker 2: No one, No bas one.
- 18:58Speaker 6: I don't know if I don't know if you feel
- 19:00Speaker 6: the same way Melan has. This mean it's so it's
- 19:04Speaker 6: tough to watch Melan right now.
- 19:06Speaker 4: You're telling me Bro, you're telling.
- 19:07Speaker 8: Me I had. I was, you know, we had.
- 19:16Speaker 9: I had about four screens going on Sunday. I was
- 19:20Speaker 9: trying to get as many of the games I could.
- 19:22Speaker 9: I was watching I was watching Not Believe in There
- 19:24Speaker 9: and Milan had Melan on my phone. But you know,
- 19:27Speaker 9: it was just like it was just a depressing game.
- 19:30Speaker 9: I mean, from that red card, you just knew what
- 19:32Speaker 9: it was going to be. I don't know how they
- 19:33Speaker 9: got that. I don't know how Joffelix pulled one back.
- 19:38Speaker 9: But I mean, just an awful game. But hats off
- 19:40Speaker 9: to Roam. I mean not to say that they're not,
- 19:43Speaker 9: you know, one of the hottest teams in Europe right
- 19:46Speaker 9: since January, but yeah, just really.
- 19:50Speaker 8: Really bad game. Kind of what you expect from Elan
- 19:54Speaker 8: at this point.
- 19:55Speaker 5: I think also just before cutting off the billion there,
- 19:59Speaker 5: it was just an important in game, like for Europe
- 20:02Speaker 5: just in general, like obviously more for Roma than it
- 20:04Speaker 5: was for me when we said it, like even last week,
- 20:08Speaker 5: there was a want writing on this game, like especially
- 20:10Speaker 5: for Roma, right, Like the three points meant a lot
- 20:13Speaker 5: more than I think just a regular three points during
- 20:15Speaker 5: the middle of the year.
- 20:17Speaker 4: Will you agree with that?
- 20:18Speaker 5: And just like how big and you know important was
- 20:21Speaker 5: these three points in your opinion?
- 20:23Speaker 6: I think it was because there's a multitude of factors.
- 20:26Speaker 6: You got ran near his last game at home, right,
- 20:28Speaker 6: and they got.
- 20:29Speaker 2: Just he's he's turned. He already was you know, right
- 20:34Speaker 2: below a god and I think now he's a god
- 20:36Speaker 2: in Rome.
- 20:36Speaker 8: And by the way, that Tifa that they did was.
- 20:39Speaker 4: Beautiful Yeah, I was.
- 20:41Speaker 7: I was blown away.
- 20:42Speaker 9: At that angle of him, like watching it and then
- 20:44Speaker 9: they all flipped the cards up, yeah and stuff right there.
- 20:49Speaker 6: I feel the other thing for me is in Johnny.
- 20:53Speaker 6: I don't know if you feel the same way. It's
- 20:54Speaker 6: almost like we're watching the the turn of John Luca
- 20:58Speaker 6: Mancini into the guy who who would get the red cards.
- 21:01Speaker 6: Now he's kind of turned into the players.
- 21:05Speaker 7: So I mean, yeah, I agree, It's it's like watching
- 21:09Speaker 7: like like he's like the Brad Morshan of Rovo right now,
- 21:12Speaker 7: where you're just like he does a ship disturbing just
- 21:14Speaker 7: to get the calls, but he's a ship disturbers. Like
- 21:16Speaker 7: it's just because because if we're gonna talk about that
- 21:19Speaker 7: red card, he obviously exaggerated and emphasized getting the elbow
- 21:23Speaker 7: because that was a very delayed reaction. But I mean
- 21:26Speaker 7: it is an album nonetheless, you know, in the day
- 21:27Speaker 7: and age of bar I mean, like, why would you
- 21:29Speaker 7: why would you risk something like that? You know, it's
- 21:32Speaker 7: but I think I feel like as if he had
- 21:34Speaker 7: to oversell it to get the attention drawn towards it,
- 21:37Speaker 7: which is still just strategic, but you get a man
- 21:39Speaker 7: pulled out from the game, you score the first goal,
- 21:42Speaker 7: and it's a very and especially like as we said before, uh,
- 21:45Speaker 7: the context of trying to fight for that top four spot.
- 21:48Speaker 7: You know, it's it's it's it's very crucial that kind
- 21:51Speaker 7: of stuff. And uh uh he's Mancini has always been
- 21:54Speaker 7: a player that you can even ask Nick and Adriano.
- 21:57Speaker 7: Uh is a player that I feel can be good
- 22:01Speaker 7: if he had his head on screwed right. Sometimes you know,
- 22:03Speaker 7: there's times where it's like, like I'm not saying Zaniolo
- 22:07Speaker 7: esque where Zaniola would just get a red card every
- 22:09Speaker 7: game because the guy didn't know how it went to
- 22:10Speaker 7: shut up, But uh, it was more like like he's
- 22:14Speaker 7: prone to boneheaded decisions. So if we can get a
- 22:17Speaker 7: Mancini like this where you know he is going to
- 22:22Speaker 7: cross the line a bit, he's gonna or push the
- 22:24Speaker 7: limits of that line. But if he's able to draw
- 22:27Speaker 7: these type of effects or reactions from players to get
- 22:30Speaker 7: them cards or whatnot, you know, get under their skins
- 22:32Speaker 7: and you know, get results from it, I'm not gonna
- 22:34Speaker 7: be against it, to be fair, like I think, I think,
- 22:37Speaker 7: yes it is. It is kind of shameful, but you know,
- 22:41Speaker 7: like the shameful and sense of it's embarrassing with a
- 22:43Speaker 7: kind of reaction like reminds me of Merchants versus Fionantina
- 22:45Speaker 7: a few years back, like with the exaggerated, but sometimes
- 22:50Speaker 7: it works and it leads to bought like you kind.
- 22:52Speaker 4: Of need that.
- 22:53Speaker 7: I don't know, but what do you think about that?
- 22:54Speaker 6: Though?
- 22:56Speaker 2: I agree? I mean just in general, I think the
- 23:03Speaker 2: craziest thing.
- 23:05Speaker 6: To me just about you know, everything was said, like
- 23:09Speaker 6: everything we're talking about is just how Raynieri has Just
- 23:14Speaker 6: everyone talks about these tactical managers and then Ranieri's just
- 23:18Speaker 6: the guy who just inspires men and just brings people
- 23:22Speaker 6: together and like instilled.
- 23:24Speaker 2: All these all this new confidence and all these guys.
- 23:26Speaker 6: Who had loost all their confidence Mancini, Cristante, which I
- 23:29Speaker 6: mean the very you know, the very Castalline and Cristante.
- 23:32Speaker 6: But I thought he played well on Sunday, you know,
- 23:36Speaker 6: like like all these guys who are great.
- 23:39Speaker 8: Roll I got the players like that's not yeah, and
- 23:42Speaker 8: that's not the question.
- 23:43Speaker 2: It's almost refreshing to see just.
- 23:45Speaker 6: You know, a guy who comes in and just kind
- 23:48Speaker 6: of you know, is a man's as a man manager,
- 23:51Speaker 6: you know what I mean, kind of like an Ancelotti
- 23:52Speaker 6: type where it's it's not all about I need my
- 23:55Speaker 6: guys to fit this system, blah blah blah.
- 23:57Speaker 2: Just you get these guys and.
- 23:59Speaker 6: You come in and you get and I think it's
- 24:01Speaker 6: I don't know, I think it's great for the game
- 24:04Speaker 6: just to watch these old school managers do their thing.
- 24:07Speaker 5: And you can see that the players want to play
- 24:09Speaker 5: for him too, right, like they're behind them.
- 24:12Speaker 4: He's got their back, they got his.
- 24:14Speaker 5: You can really you you see, this guy came out
- 24:16Speaker 5: of retirement for his Roma, right, so like it means
- 24:19Speaker 5: it means much more than just you know, being on
- 24:22Speaker 5: the touch line for him, and it shows the team
- 24:24Speaker 5: is definitely playing for him and has been playing for
- 24:26Speaker 5: him since he's come in, Uh one of the hotter teams.
- 24:29Speaker 5: Like we said in twenty twenty five. All that to
- 24:32Speaker 5: say is though it just it's a bit sad because now,
- 24:35Speaker 5: like I don't know about you guys as been like
- 24:38Speaker 5: Roma fans, what are we going to expect next season?
- 24:41Speaker 5: Like all this all this you know, Aura and this
- 24:44Speaker 5: greatness and this this ooh and ah about this run
- 24:47Speaker 5: yeris Roma and you know next season is not going
- 24:49Speaker 5: to be that. And I think we got a question
- 24:52Speaker 5: even on social media by our friend Carlo from Toronto,
- 24:56Speaker 5: Who do you guys think or who do you guys
- 24:58Speaker 5: maybe want to see behind uh, you know, Roma's bench
- 25:02Speaker 5: being their magic next season? Like like, are we going
- 25:05Speaker 5: to see the same type of Roma that we've been
- 25:06Speaker 5: seeing in this twenty twenty five year or is it
- 25:10Speaker 5: going to be a complete one eighty and it's you know.
- 25:13Speaker 4: Still back in the old Roma trying to fight the
- 25:16Speaker 4: way back into you know, Europe.
- 25:19Speaker 5: I guess what you know, Johnny Billy, you know, discuss it,
- 25:22Speaker 5: but just is it going to be downhill or is
- 25:25Speaker 5: it going to be you know, an uphill thing with
- 25:27Speaker 5: this this Roma going next season?
- 25:28Speaker 2: I mean, I thought Jurgen Clap is a done deal?
- 25:31Speaker 4: Why inventry believe?
- 25:33Speaker 9: I guess the thing I saw today that was getting
- 25:36Speaker 9: reported was that there's the idea of Danielle de Loss
- 25:40Speaker 9: coming back under Ranietti and he's interesting be this you know,
- 25:47Speaker 9: manager figure, but I think Raniette is going to kind
- 25:49Speaker 9: of help manage him, and I think that's a great idea.
- 25:53Speaker 9: Like to me, as close as they can keep Ranietti
- 25:56Speaker 9: to the squad is a good thing because I think
- 26:00Speaker 9: that you know, there's clearly a respect factor there that
- 26:04Speaker 9: the players are following, and he obviously gets it right.
- 26:08Speaker 9: Like I think if they can extract that into someone
- 26:10Speaker 9: like that, all too has the passion and can I
- 26:13Speaker 9: think can demand that respect from players as well. Just
- 26:16Speaker 9: what the personality has, you know, I think it's gonna
- 26:19Speaker 9: be important. Another thing though too, for me, is regardless
- 26:23Speaker 9: of managers, whether they can keep kone.
- 26:26Speaker 4: He and he has.
- 26:28Speaker 9: Been, like, you know, one of the best players in
- 26:30Speaker 9: the league. Like he's an incredible midfielder. I wouldn't be
- 26:33Speaker 9: shocked if if Madrid came calling right in the summer
- 26:37Speaker 9: and picked him up for sixty million. I mean, he's
- 26:40Speaker 9: I think he's definitely worth that. But Roma did so
- 26:43Speaker 9: well getting him, so I mean, I think we'll see.
- 26:46Speaker 9: I mean, it seems like Roma's gonna at least hopefully
- 26:49Speaker 9: get a Europa League spot. We could pray, right at
- 26:53Speaker 9: least yeah, And so I think that's important. Like I
- 26:55Speaker 9: think if they don't probably have to sell one of
- 26:57Speaker 9: those guys, but you know, getting at least your role
- 27:00Speaker 9: be League would be huge for for their financials and
- 27:02Speaker 9: kind of keeping this thing going in the right right
- 27:06Speaker 9: right direction.
- 27:07Speaker 6: But I feel like that this second half of the
- 27:09Speaker 6: season with Claudio has shown hopefully, it has shown the
- 27:12Speaker 6: Freed kids that you know, it's not just about getting
- 27:16Speaker 6: a big name, splashy higher, but it really has to
- 27:19Speaker 6: be a good fit.
- 27:20Speaker 2: Yeah, good fit for Roma, good for Sarah.
- 27:23Speaker 6: So like you know that the two hours this morning
- 27:25Speaker 6: of I forget his name, the old Wolves coach from the.
- 27:28Speaker 2: Prem is a Nuno.
- 27:31Speaker 6: He talks about him coming in because of whatever he's
- 27:33Speaker 6: doing with Nottingham Forrest and stuff like that. I just
- 27:36Speaker 6: don't think translates well through Rome. And I know it
- 27:39Speaker 6: was probably just one of those you know, last but
- 27:42Speaker 6: of course, but I think hopefully those guys are going
- 27:47Speaker 6: to be eliminated from you.
- 27:50Speaker 2: Know, from this search.
- 27:53Speaker 6: And I I don't know, I think I would probably
- 27:56Speaker 6: it would be the most Roman thing. But I probably
- 27:59Speaker 6: my favorite candidate would probably be de Rossi coming back.
- 28:05Speaker 2: I don't know.
- 28:06Speaker 6: I think that's just I look at all the other
- 28:09Speaker 6: options and I think for me, I think it's it's
- 28:13Speaker 6: just the safest choice because you almost got in buckets right,
- 28:16Speaker 6: you got the kind of Italian up and coming guys
- 28:20Speaker 6: who are not coaching in Seria right now, so that
- 28:23Speaker 6: Ferioli yeah, does that Beesby's gonna come back at some
- 28:27Speaker 6: point for who. I don't know, but I don't think
- 28:29Speaker 6: it's I don't think it's the right time for Roma.
- 28:31Speaker 6: Then you have the Allegrie types, you know, the Sria guys,
- 28:36Speaker 6: and then you know, you have the colops. You know,
- 28:38Speaker 6: obviously it's not that's the pipe doing for Roma, but
- 28:40Speaker 6: you know, guys like that are totally foreign, and I
- 28:44Speaker 6: would probably just stay in Sadiyah.
- 28:47Speaker 2: And I'm hoping the Freakings.
- 28:48Speaker 6: Realize that, you know, you can't just make a big
- 28:52Speaker 6: name higher or a splash just because of the name.
- 28:55Speaker 5: We even taught, we even saw the rumor of I
- 28:58Speaker 5: know this has been a while go now, but with
- 29:00Speaker 5: the Poli rumors as well, about maybe a couple of
- 29:04Speaker 5: months ago maybe now, I don't remember. But is that
- 29:06Speaker 5: something you would entertain or is that a no goal
- 29:09Speaker 5: for you?
- 29:10Speaker 4: Really?
- 29:12Speaker 6: I it's I don't know what Gianny thinks, but I
- 29:15Speaker 6: would I probably would welcome Pioli personally, because I think
- 29:22Speaker 6: it's almost like you you learned about a coach after
- 29:24Speaker 6: they leave, and look at look at look at what
- 29:29Speaker 6: Milon's happened after he left. Not not so much as tactics,
- 29:33Speaker 6: but the star players and their attitudes right the room
- 29:38Speaker 6: like layout or or right like these guys. I think
- 29:44Speaker 6: Poli looking back was was pretty strong, you know people manager.
- 29:49Speaker 6: I don't think he's gonna come through Rome, I don't.
- 29:50Speaker 6: I don't think it's gonna happen. But yeah, I wouldn't
- 29:55Speaker 6: mind Pioli at all.
- 29:57Speaker 7: Uh A lot a lot to like comment on there.
- 30:01Speaker 7: My this is like my own opinion. I'm gonna slightly
- 30:05Speaker 7: slightly disagree with you, Billy on the dad thing, because
- 30:09Speaker 7: I still want him to get a bit of his
- 30:11Speaker 7: bearings a bit more Now. If it does happen where
- 30:13Speaker 7: he's got like maybe more experienced or senior manager like
- 30:16Speaker 7: kind of with him or under him, like kind of
- 30:18Speaker 7: like I don't know, I guess being a mentor advisor,
- 30:20Speaker 7: then that's fine. I feel like what happened was like
- 30:23Speaker 7: the first experiment that as Sie, you know, we rushed
- 30:26Speaker 7: him into a position that I didn't want him to
- 30:29Speaker 7: be like, uh, you know, oh my god, what's the
- 30:34Speaker 7: word I'm looking for? Like not exposed, but you know,
- 30:37Speaker 7: like just just be put under a hot iron like
- 30:40Speaker 7: right away, you know, Like I felt like it was
- 30:42Speaker 7: a bit too early for him, because I do believe
- 30:44Speaker 7: that he is the manager for at Home in the future,
- 30:46Speaker 7: because there's gonna be nobody that's gonna be more passionate
- 30:48Speaker 7: for the squad than that ASCI to succeed and stuff.
- 30:51Speaker 7: But I still feel like as if the guy needs
- 30:53Speaker 7: still like juggle the ball a bit more with some
- 30:56Speaker 7: lower tier, mid tier teams before going up to like
- 30:58Speaker 7: the one of this episode, you know, But the Yurgen
- 31:03Speaker 7: Clop thing. When I first saw those rumors, I'm like,
- 31:05Speaker 7: I'm like, because the reason why, the reason why I'm
- 31:08Speaker 7: laughing is because when we got Mourinho way back way
- 31:11Speaker 7: and I was recovering from COVID and this was like
- 31:13Speaker 7: the first wave when everything was hitting everybody seriously and
- 31:16Speaker 7: I had it so bad. I'm like, oh, I thought
- 31:18Speaker 7: it was a fever dream at first, that one must
- 31:20Speaker 7: signed Modino because it came out of nowhere. And when
- 31:23Speaker 7: I saw the Yurgen Clop rumors, I'm like, do I
- 31:25Speaker 7: have COVID again with the but.
- 31:27Speaker 6: The reporters, the reporters really standing by that story too,
- 31:31Speaker 6: and every yeah crazy.
- 31:33Speaker 5: Even his agent said like there's yeah, yeah.
- 31:38Speaker 7: So I just I just found it so funny. I
- 31:39Speaker 7: like it's like it's like, you know the joke and
- 31:41Speaker 7: like am I having a choked I smell bird clothes?
- 31:45Speaker 7: That's basically what it felt like. Now, if there is
- 31:49Speaker 7: a coach that that I do want them to get,
- 31:51Speaker 7: I kind of agree with your point. I would like
- 31:53Speaker 7: to see Pioli at Roma. Rumors if if gas Puttini
- 31:57Speaker 7: does leave Atalanta this year, you know, it might be
- 32:00Speaker 7: a very interesting thing to get because if we're talking
- 32:03Speaker 7: about managers who kind of like create a system and
- 32:08Speaker 7: you know, utilize their players well whatever they have, he's
- 32:11Speaker 7: been the best example so far and said yeah, especially
- 32:13Speaker 7: if you're thinking about local managers, because look look what
- 32:15Speaker 7: he's doing at Talanta and his projects for the past
- 32:18Speaker 7: like what like what eight nine years now ten years
- 32:21Speaker 7: more or less. You know, like he's basically built a
- 32:24Speaker 7: team into a very competitive SETI as squad wand Europa
- 32:27Speaker 7: League last year and knows what it takes to get results. Now,
- 32:30Speaker 7: obviously he's chasing that Scudetto, but like whenever he can,
- 32:34Speaker 7: if he's gonna stay with aut Talanta or not, we
- 32:36Speaker 7: don't know, it makes to be seen. But he's basically
- 32:38Speaker 7: turned out Tolanto to a very strong team, and I
- 32:42Speaker 7: feel like he just fits that description perfectly. But obviously
- 32:45Speaker 7: it's all theoretical because you know, there's the rumors all
- 32:48Speaker 7: up in the air too on that side, if he's
- 32:50Speaker 7: gonna stick around or if he's gonna leave, So him
- 32:53Speaker 7: I would like to see at at Roma, but I
- 32:56Speaker 7: totally agree with you that the FREA can realize that
- 32:59Speaker 7: he can't. He don't you can go for the biggest splash,
- 33:01Speaker 7: like that's been the issue for the longest time. Like
- 33:03Speaker 7: it seemed like all of our signings, like Diballa, like
- 33:06Speaker 7: much much shitting on Diaballa by the way, but I'm
- 33:08Speaker 7: saying like Diballa, the Lucac WHU signings, you know, like
- 33:10Speaker 7: they just it just it just seems like they were
- 33:13Speaker 7: just going out of like Chris smalling the way back,
- 33:15Speaker 7: you know, like it just felt like Zip, the just
- 33:16Speaker 7: going after names that were all these are guys that
- 33:20Speaker 7: could have been good, but injuries happened, blah blah blah.
- 33:23Speaker 7: You know, but it's just like but they still have
- 33:25Speaker 7: that bit of star power to them, and it just
- 33:26Speaker 7: felt like Zip, They're just throwing anything at the wall
- 33:28Speaker 7: hopefully and it will it will stick, you know, But
- 33:31Speaker 7: if you look at the squads that constantly make the
- 33:33Speaker 7: top four, there's a cohesiveness with those squads or just
- 33:35Speaker 7: like a there's a continuity with that squad, And I
- 33:37Speaker 7: think Roma kind of established that a bit with their
- 33:39Speaker 7: back line and a bit of their mid you know,
- 33:43Speaker 7: it's just obviously we need to get healthy players, but
- 33:47Speaker 7: I in order to get like I feel like exif
- 33:49Speaker 7: like like we're guaranteed at least a Conference league spot
- 33:52Speaker 7: this year, could potentially push for a Champions League or
- 33:54Speaker 7: you know, maybe finishing your like we still like we're
- 33:57Speaker 7: guaranted by points, we're guaranteed European competition. Just to fence
- 34:00Speaker 7: just remains to be seeing which kind of European competition,
- 34:03Speaker 7: So I I would like to see that one. I
- 34:08Speaker 7: don't know about you ability, but like like there's been
- 34:10Speaker 7: like this lack of direction. It feels like it just
- 34:13Speaker 7: seems like there's like no idea or identity, like it's
- 34:17Speaker 7: it's the identity is it's a Roma, But like there's
- 34:19Speaker 7: all like they're known for this or they're known for that,
- 34:22Speaker 7: you know what I'm saying, Like I don't know, maybe
- 34:25Speaker 7: I'm not explaining myself properly. I can't have a hard
- 34:27Speaker 7: time putting it into words, but you see what I'm
- 34:29Speaker 7: getting at.
- 34:30Speaker 6: Yeah, so you mentioned Gasparini. It's we're almost the opposite
- 34:33Speaker 6: of Atlanta. They kind of like have this plan, they've
- 34:36Speaker 6: had this plan and that's what they do. Whereas Roma,
- 34:39Speaker 6: we you know, were it feels like we're changing CEOs
- 34:41Speaker 6: every every day, like you know, yeah, true, I don't.
- 34:45Speaker 2: I don't.
- 34:47Speaker 7: I don't feel like a next man up mentality, you
- 34:48Speaker 7: know what I'm saying. Like Atlanta, it's been like a
- 34:50Speaker 7: next man up, like like you lose one piece, another
- 34:53Speaker 7: guy comes in fits perfectly somehow, you know. Whereas at Ama,
- 34:56Speaker 7: it just seems like it's every year, it's a new
- 34:58Speaker 7: system every year. It's a new style every year.
- 35:01Speaker 5: Well, they even play within, like their their scouting is
- 35:04Speaker 5: is ridiculous over the years. Right at Atalanta, you know,
- 35:07Speaker 5: it's I think it's Themico there, Tony Denico there, I
- 35:09Speaker 5: think and now and just incredible job, you know, the
- 35:12Speaker 5: sar Tories of the World and other you know, a
- 35:15Speaker 5: great you know director and all that. But you know,
- 35:18Speaker 5: they play within. They find you know, these diamonds in
- 35:20Speaker 5: the russ and and they they you know, prolong them
- 35:24Speaker 5: for x amount of years and they get like really
- 35:26Speaker 5: their bang for their buck, for their for their players.
- 35:29Speaker 5: Roma and just even you know, other top city teams.
- 35:33Speaker 5: Like I'm not saying it's rare, but it's it seems
- 35:36Speaker 5: like it's harder to come by, you know, those types
- 35:38Speaker 5: of projects and those types of actually investing within you know,
- 35:42Speaker 5: your youth is is doing well. Uh you know, you're
- 35:45Speaker 5: bringing in your own, your own talents, You're finding talents
- 35:48Speaker 5: from abroad, bringing them in and really nurturing them to
- 35:50Speaker 5: become you know, the of the world, chiches of the world.
- 35:54Speaker 5: There's a patas right like it's you know, the list
- 35:58Speaker 5: goes on, especially at Atalanta.
- 36:00Speaker 8: So I don't know if.
- 36:02Speaker 5: Roma is there, or if Milan is there, if these
- 36:04Speaker 5: other teams are there, but it's something to keep keep
- 36:07Speaker 5: in mind.
- 36:07Speaker 4: That fine something.
- 36:11Speaker 2: No I was gonna say.
- 36:12Speaker 6: One of our Rochester Roma club members, Christian Demico, he
- 36:16Speaker 6: always says that when when they Atlanta built up Christante
- 36:21Speaker 6: and they sold them to Roma, and ever since then,
- 36:23Speaker 6: Atlanta has been straight out.
- 36:32Speaker 9: I think it's really important too for a lot of
- 36:34Speaker 9: these clubs how close the.
- 36:35Speaker 8: Owner is to the club.
- 36:38Speaker 9: And I think you see, you know, with the Friedkins
- 36:40Speaker 9: like they're they're actually like closer than I would expect
- 36:44Speaker 9: them to.
- 36:44Speaker 8: Be just being Americans.
- 36:46Speaker 9: But I think they've shown that, you know, they can
- 36:50Speaker 9: be a little distant at times, and I think Milan's
- 36:53Speaker 9: going through that issue right now, having really distant owner
- 36:56Speaker 9: it been in Milanos in September.
- 37:00Speaker 4: You know.
- 37:01Speaker 9: I think that, like you know, unfortunately, like part of
- 37:04Speaker 9: the game is there's a lot of turnover.
- 37:06Speaker 8: You look at what Napoli's done with Delerents.
- 37:08Speaker 4: Like.
- 37:10Speaker 8: He's changing cod like, you know, they had spot at
- 37:12Speaker 8: me there.
- 37:13Speaker 9: I was thinking when he went away, I was like,
- 37:15Speaker 9: all right, Anopoly is gonna kind of go back to
- 37:17Speaker 9: you know, struggling.
- 37:18Speaker 4: A little bit here.
- 37:19Speaker 8: And here we are two years later and they have there.
- 37:23Speaker 8: You know, we'll see what's gonna happen on Friday.
- 37:25Speaker 9: It's all say, but but yeah, I don't know. I
- 37:28Speaker 9: think that it's it's the project is is super important.
- 37:33Speaker 8: I think you need to have good management. I think
- 37:35Speaker 8: Roma has lacked that a little bit.
- 37:37Speaker 9: But I think with Ranieri, we'll see what his new
- 37:40Speaker 9: role is, but I think he could add to that.
- 37:42Speaker 9: I think he can provide almost like a Meldini like figure.
- 37:46Speaker 9: For Roma, while the owners maybe not you know, not
- 37:50Speaker 9: in Rome every every minute.
- 37:52Speaker 4: Every weekend.
- 37:53Speaker 5: Yeah, I agree, we see like you brought up and
- 37:57Speaker 5: it's a perfect you know, I want to kind of
- 37:58Speaker 5: ask your opinion on stuff too. But like with Nelon,
- 38:01Speaker 5: it's right now obviously it's doom and gloom, like it's
- 38:04Speaker 5: been a terrible season, disappointing year, you know, currently ninth place.
- 38:07Speaker 5: I think, can you know, finish off the season with
- 38:09Speaker 5: a win this this weekend with sixty three points, that's like.
- 38:13Speaker 4: Not the meal and that we that we need, that
- 38:15Speaker 4: we want that were.
- 38:16Speaker 5: We expect, right, And you said it perfectly like an owner,
- 38:19Speaker 5: that's you know, nowhere to be nowhere to be found.
- 38:23Speaker 4: Uh, no direction.
- 38:24Speaker 5: And you know, like a lot of things you know
- 38:26Speaker 5: you need in life, you need a foundation. You know,
- 38:29Speaker 5: you build a house, you need a foundation, you know,
- 38:31Speaker 5: for for these cultural clubs, you know you need a foundation.
- 38:33Speaker 5: And for me, it starts at the top, and you
- 38:36Speaker 5: know it's it's it's clear when that top is is
- 38:40Speaker 5: is broken or or or or just not functioning well.
- 38:44Speaker 4: It trickles down to you know, the manager, the players.
- 38:48Speaker 5: You know, the water poy all the way down right,
- 38:50Speaker 5: So it's it's one of those things. And I guess
- 38:53Speaker 5: just I want to get your maybe your your your
- 38:55Speaker 5: thoughts on you know, Cardinale and just you know upper management.
- 38:59Speaker 5: You know, I feel there's a lot of turmoil with
- 39:01Speaker 5: melon fins. You know, you see it all over the place,
- 39:04Speaker 5: not only in Milano, but like even across the pond
- 39:06Speaker 5: here with fan clubs and just people that love Sadiyah,
- 39:09Speaker 5: that love melon. You know, CARDINALI is not really being present,
- 39:15Speaker 5: you know, getting rid of you know, legend of of
- 39:18Speaker 5: melon in Maldini when they when they did and when
- 39:20Speaker 5: he came in, you know, the Furlani Moncada Ibrahimovic.
- 39:26Speaker 4: Trio that is just really not great. I don't forget
- 39:29Speaker 4: about it.
- 39:30Speaker 5: Just don't forget about Stoni right in there too. He
- 39:33Speaker 5: makes it more. He makes more appearances than than than Cardinale.
- 39:36Speaker 5: So you know what, at least there's that, But uh,
- 39:39Speaker 5: just your thoughts on just maybe what's going on and
- 39:42Speaker 5: what's going wrong?
- 39:43Speaker 9: I guess for for Mewon, Yeah, I think I think
- 39:47Speaker 9: it's clear that Cardinale wants to run Milan as if
- 39:52Speaker 9: it were I think of it like an like a
- 39:55Speaker 9: like a Premier League club. But I think in his
- 39:58Speaker 9: head it's more like a American club because I think
- 40:01Speaker 9: there's you know, there's a connection there, and I think
- 40:04Speaker 9: in Italy you just can't get away with that, Like
- 40:07Speaker 9: you can't. They're buying a lot of these, like I
- 40:11Speaker 9: think the first sign of it, right, they're buying a
- 40:12Speaker 9: lot of these like Premier League rejects like Loaf dis Cheek.
- 40:17Speaker 9: You know, Tomorrow is on scooed the team obviously, but
- 40:20Speaker 9: like it is what it is. I know he wasn't
- 40:22Speaker 9: there purchase, but they still have him, right, so you know,
- 40:26Speaker 9: they're getting Joe Felix, They're picking up Kyle Walker. Like
- 40:31Speaker 9: to me, these are like these are just not Milan
- 40:35Speaker 9: like players. And I think, you know the other side
- 40:38Speaker 9: of it here is that every move that they make,
- 40:44Speaker 9: it's almost like shocking, like as a as a fan
- 40:48Speaker 9: of Sadiya or just Milan, like, you know, you know,
- 40:52Speaker 9: we understand how these things work, right, Like we know
- 40:55Speaker 9: when a team does something really really bad, and when
- 40:57Speaker 9: when a team does something pretty good, like we're usually
- 40:59Speaker 9: pretty spot on and noticing that. And there was so
- 41:02Speaker 9: many things last summer that Milan did that I was
- 41:05Speaker 9: just thinking, like, no, they have to have a bigger plan,
- 41:08Speaker 9: like because if this is their plan, then these guys
- 41:10Speaker 9: really don't like they have.
- 41:12Speaker 8: No idea what they're doing.
- 41:14Speaker 9: And like one of those things, right, it's just like
- 41:17Speaker 9: I can't remember when they hired fone Seca, but super late,
- 41:20Speaker 9: like it was I think it was already August, right, yep.
- 41:25Speaker 8: But in any case, it's like one like there's this
- 41:30Speaker 8: if you look in Ceitia.
- 41:31Speaker 9: Right now and the managers who are having success, they're Italian.
- 41:36Speaker 9: If you look abroad, right, who's one in who's in
- 41:39Speaker 9: the Premier.
- 41:39Speaker 8: League's an Italian coach?
- 41:40Speaker 9: To me, it's crazy to be, you know, to own
- 41:45Speaker 9: a club in Italy and one of the we don't
- 41:49Speaker 9: have a lot going for us from like a financial perspective, right,
- 41:51Speaker 9: like we're climbing uphill battle when it comes to TV contracts,
- 41:57Speaker 9: merchandising like through the world state, like there's there's a
- 42:01Speaker 9: huge there's a huge problem there. And like to me,
- 42:06Speaker 9: hiring non Italian coaches and signing non Italian players in
- 42:11Speaker 9: this moment is like you're just making it that much
- 42:14Speaker 9: harder for yourself to win in this league. You need
- 42:17Speaker 9: to have a core of Italian players and it really
- 42:20Speaker 9: helps you to have an Italian coach. That's just the
- 42:22Speaker 9: reality of it, and so like, you know, they're trying
- 42:26Speaker 9: to go against that for some reason. I'm not sure why,
- 42:29Speaker 9: Like I don't, I don't. I can't think of a
- 42:32Speaker 9: single reason why they do that, but they do it.
- 42:36Speaker 9: And it started with selling Tonali right, like that was
- 42:38Speaker 9: one of the it's still one of the.
- 42:39Speaker 8: Craziest things that are breaking I've ever seen. Yeah.
- 42:44Speaker 9: But the other thing too, is like they're just so
- 42:46Speaker 9: late with everything and it just shows that they're you know,
- 42:49Speaker 9: they clearly have no idea what they're doing, and they're
- 42:51Speaker 9: making a lot of really last minute decisions like this,
- 42:55Speaker 9: And why I think it's not going to change is
- 42:58Speaker 9: the fact that they they they're set on signing the
- 43:01Speaker 9: sporting director right instead of just like firing for Lani
- 43:05Speaker 9: and Ibrahimovic in Mankata, like.
- 43:08Speaker 8: This just the worst. They don't know what they're doing.
- 43:11Speaker 8: Instead of doing that, they're hiring this president.
- 43:13Speaker 9: Which okay, you know this is already or like a
- 43:16Speaker 9: sporting director, I guess we'll call it.
- 43:18Speaker 8: Already like a little bit strange.
- 43:20Speaker 9: It sounds like we just already have too many heads
- 43:22Speaker 9: at the top and we don't you know, for Lani's
- 43:25Speaker 9: making it came out for Lani's going to be making
- 43:28Speaker 9: final decisions. Sporting director is going to be choosing players,
- 43:33Speaker 9: Monkata is going to be scouting, Ibrahimovich is going to
- 43:36Speaker 9: be like the owner is going to be Cardadinale. But
- 43:38Speaker 9: in Milano like this, this doesn't work. Yeah, it's way
- 43:43Speaker 9: too It's it's built like an organization. It just doesn't
- 43:46Speaker 9: work in Italy. And I think you know the fact
- 43:51Speaker 9: that they're they still haven't, they don't they have no
- 43:53Speaker 9: idea up until I guess yesterday, right because they just
- 43:57Speaker 9: decided they're going to sign Terror yeahr from whatever. You know,
- 44:05Speaker 9: the fact that it's almost you know, we're at the
- 44:08Speaker 9: last game of the season, they just decided to do that.
- 44:11Speaker 9: Like this is something they should have decided back in February.
- 44:15Speaker 8: They should have had.
- 44:16Speaker 5: Their guy behind last year, last even even in the summer,
- 44:19Speaker 5: I would say even last summer, like they should have
- 44:21Speaker 5: been we we went a whole year without a proper
- 44:23Speaker 5: sporting director.
- 44:24Speaker 4: You see some of these top.
- 44:25Speaker 5: Clubs they have a direction, you know, the Bepper Marltas
- 44:28Speaker 5: of the world, right, like, yeah, they make things and
- 44:30Speaker 5: you know, I mean I hate to admit it being
- 44:32Speaker 5: a rival, fine, but you know he turned Juve around.
- 44:35Speaker 5: He's not turning into around. And you know we mentioned
- 44:38Speaker 5: the the Mikos right that the Star Tories that really
- 44:40Speaker 5: sought after Meo had no direction from from the summer.
- 44:44Speaker 5: You know, we had summer where where you know, available
- 44:49Speaker 5: to us as a coach.
- 44:50Speaker 4: You know Antonio did that be you know, potentially Taliano, right,
- 44:58Speaker 4: and you got.
- 44:58Speaker 5: None of them and yourself for on Seca, which again
- 45:01Speaker 5: I think was just a last minute thing.
- 45:03Speaker 4: To your point, well, I totally agree personally.
- 45:06Speaker 5: I don't I know fans are you know, fifty to
- 45:09Speaker 5: fifty on this, But I think personally content came at
- 45:13Speaker 5: the wrong time because I think with a proper foundation,
- 45:17Speaker 5: I think he can do better.
- 45:19Speaker 4: I think, you know, he's he's shown.
- 45:21Speaker 5: That he's more of an experienced manager, and I he's
- 45:24Speaker 5: won in the past and I don't mind him too much.
- 45:27Speaker 5: I think ultimately he will leave just because of how
- 45:30Speaker 5: things this circus is going. But I think with a
- 45:32Speaker 5: proper foundation, I would like to have seen him have
- 45:35Speaker 5: a fair not a fair shot because that's probably wrong wording,
- 45:38Speaker 5: but just a.
- 45:39Speaker 4: Clean slate his team, you know, his season.
- 45:42Speaker 5: And and go and if he fails, Okay, you know what,
- 45:45Speaker 5: we put our hands up and it was a failure
- 45:47Speaker 5: of a signing. But just this circus that you're mentioning,
- 45:50Speaker 5: I totally agree, but you know, not having a spoiling
- 45:53Speaker 5: director the whole year and not having no direction and
- 45:55Speaker 5: guys in positions and again I love you Abrahimovich, but
- 45:58Speaker 5: a guy at the high that he was at or
- 46:01Speaker 5: the position that he was like claimed to have, you know,
- 46:05Speaker 5: currently with mel On and having no prior experience and.
- 46:09Speaker 4: You know, he he I'm the boss, I'm this, I'm that.
- 46:12Speaker 5: Okay, that's fine on the pitch, but when you're going
- 46:15Speaker 5: upstairs and you're trying to pull off that circus like it.
- 46:18Speaker 4: It clearly doesn't work. And the proof is in the
- 46:20Speaker 4: putting this season, right, So.
- 46:21Speaker 9: Yeah, and I mean, look, this is what's gonna happen. Right,
- 46:24Speaker 9: They're signing this sporting director late. Yeah, they're gonna sign
- 46:28Speaker 9: They're gonna they're gonna make a coaching decision late. They're
- 46:30Speaker 9: gonna sign players late because he's already backed up now, right,
- 46:33Speaker 9: sporting directors joining today is going to do his job,
- 46:38Speaker 9: and you know he's not gonna pick anyone probably till July.
- 46:40Speaker 4: It's gonna and.
- 46:41Speaker 9: Then they're gonna haggle, right, they haggle over five million
- 46:45Speaker 9: to delay it a month, and then player comes in
- 46:47Speaker 9: it takes some two months into the season to.
- 46:49Speaker 8: Get Acclimated's like crazy, Yeah, it's just really bizarre.
- 46:53Speaker 9: It's just I think there's a lot of incompetence and
- 46:56Speaker 9: I don't see it getting any better. And you know,
- 46:59Speaker 9: there's a lot of rumors they're going to hire Italiano now,
- 47:03Speaker 9: and I think, like, you know, that's this is this
- 47:07Speaker 9: is it? Right, Like that's probably the last of the
- 47:10Speaker 9: Italian coaches I would hire for a few reasons, Like
- 47:14Speaker 9: I know he's hats off to him what he's doing
- 47:16Speaker 9: with Bologna, But like if if I'm looking at the trends, right,
- 47:20Speaker 9: I'm looking for I'm looking for someone who has three
- 47:23Speaker 9: in the back, because every top team in Italy is
- 47:26Speaker 9: doing three in the back and they're having huge success
- 47:30Speaker 9: with it in Europe too, and it just fits Italian
- 47:33Speaker 9: football like so well, because you know, you can load
- 47:36Speaker 9: up on midfielders.
- 47:37Speaker 8: It's you don't need to have this.
- 47:38Speaker 9: One hundred million dollar in midfielder's carrying a load. It's
- 47:41Speaker 9: you know, We're we're tons of defenders at our disposal
- 47:45Speaker 9: right in Italy, Like, all you really need is two
- 47:47Speaker 9: of them and you'll have a nice back three and
- 47:49Speaker 9: you'll probably not league goals like Milan's done.
- 47:53Speaker 8: Any You know all that to.
- 47:54Speaker 9: Say, there's also leaks, and you know what, leaks with
- 47:57Speaker 9: this management, with this Milan are oftentimes pretty accurate. Like
- 48:03Speaker 9: I've found that when Elliott was at the Helm with
- 48:06Speaker 9: Maldini kind of pulling the strings, and you know a
- 48:09Speaker 9: lot of the leaks that were coming out were oftentimes
- 48:12Speaker 9: not true when you kind of saw that come through.
- 48:14Speaker 9: But with this management, pretty much everything you see is
- 48:17Speaker 9: it's true, and like, you wouldn't put it past them, right,
- 48:21Speaker 9: they have like.
- 48:21Speaker 8: A ton of moles who are leaking this stuff out.
- 48:23Speaker 9: Like that's just that's the way this, this corporate like
- 48:26Speaker 9: structure works. But yeah, like and then you see the
- 48:30Speaker 9: you know, they're now admitting we need to go a
- 48:32Speaker 9: little more Italian, so they're looking at Italian players.
- 48:35Speaker 8: You see the list, there's guys like or Selene.
- 48:39Speaker 9: Yeah, well Ricci like that right that Like but yeah,
- 48:43Speaker 9: like it's a midfielder.
- 48:44Speaker 8: Every Italian team should be should be trying to sign
- 48:46Speaker 8: right now. But there's also the names of you.
- 48:48Speaker 9: Know, all these players are just like they're just stinky
- 48:51Speaker 9: old that like old names. You're like, man, these guys
- 48:54Speaker 9: are like the Barrardis of like two years ago, Like
- 48:58Speaker 9: they're not they're not.
- 48:59Speaker 8: You don't want to get.
- 49:00Speaker 9: You know, you don't want to spend like thirty million
- 49:02Speaker 9: a Kieza, Yeah right, like the Melon can't afford to
- 49:05Speaker 9: do that right now, Like.
- 49:06Speaker 8: That's that's ridiculous.
- 49:08Speaker 9: Or of Seleni, like you know, they don't need that,
- 49:10Speaker 9: they need defensive midfielders, they need defenders, and like, I
- 49:14Speaker 9: don't know, it's just all of it, all of it smells.
- 49:18Speaker 9: I don't see it changing. I don't think anything's going
- 49:20Speaker 9: to change. I think the latest is like maybe Cardinale
- 49:25Speaker 9: is looking for someone like.
- 49:28Speaker 8: Another investor the way out.
- 49:29Speaker 9: Yeah yeah, so I mean I think that would be
- 49:32Speaker 9: that would be best. I know that he bought the
- 49:36Speaker 9: team with a loan from Elliott, so I think there
- 49:40Speaker 9: is some like pressure on him to figure this out
- 49:43Speaker 9: right like or else within a couple of years.
- 49:45Speaker 8: He's probably gonna lose a lot of money there.
- 49:47Speaker 9: But but yeah.
- 49:51Speaker 1: There can I can I give a possible name for
- 49:55Speaker 1: Melon's coach. I don't think you guys will like this,
- 49:57Speaker 1: but Mario, he has the connections, are ready to tyre.
- 50:02Speaker 9: Uh.
- 50:03Speaker 1: He was the last manager Terry hired a lot of
- 50:06Speaker 1: We're gonna see a lot of lots of me my connections, right,
- 50:09Speaker 1: you know, I don't know. You know, we're gonna see
- 50:11Speaker 1: a couple of Maybe we'll see a couple of X
- 50:15Speaker 1: lots of players. Obviously the X coach M yeah, oh
- 50:20Speaker 1: maybe obviously the X lots of coach everyone will want
- 50:23Speaker 1: is in Zagi. But I think that's kind of hard
- 50:25Speaker 1: to get right now. He's kind of hard to get
- 50:26Speaker 1: right now. But hey, I'm just throwing Sorry's name out there.
- 50:31Speaker 4: For me. Nuh, I don't know.
- 50:34Speaker 1: I I mean, yeah, I know he does.
- 50:39Speaker 3: I know it didn't fit at you either.
- 50:41Speaker 4: I don't I don't love it. I don't hate it either,
- 50:44Speaker 4: but I just I don't love it.
- 50:45Speaker 5: I don't see it like it's gonna fans are already
- 50:49Speaker 5: pissed like now, like if we have to wait for
- 50:52Speaker 5: for Sadi's game plan to kick in, like like Meli,
- 50:56Speaker 5: fans are gonna like jump off the bridge, like it's
- 50:58Speaker 5: it's gonna be crazy, Like we know with Saudi. It
- 51:01Speaker 5: takes time and me and fans will have patience unfortunately
- 51:05Speaker 5: sometimes to our fault. You know, we can definitely say that.
- 51:10Speaker 5: But again, if it was maybe a different time and
- 51:14Speaker 5: like all these pressures, like like most said, and the
- 51:17Speaker 5: circus that is going on you know in upper management, maybe,
- 51:20Speaker 5: but currently I wouldn't want it, like I wouldn't. I
- 51:26Speaker 5: don't think it would fit to to your to the
- 51:28Speaker 5: points that we just.
- 51:29Speaker 7: Said, but I don't feel like as if there's any
- 51:31Speaker 7: such thing as like a get fixed quick type of
- 51:34Speaker 7: that's a team and to be honest with you, like
- 51:38Speaker 7: or interest in football in general, like yes, like what
- 51:40Speaker 7: what Ranetti did with the squad as an anomaly, but
- 51:43Speaker 7: if you look past Ranieri's like year ones with teams,
- 51:47Speaker 7: there's always a great decline afterwards, you know, like he's
- 51:50Speaker 7: great with unifying the room and and kind of being
- 51:52Speaker 7: like the players coach, you know, but it's not stable,
- 51:55Speaker 7: you know, there's no It's that's why like I'm like,
- 51:59Speaker 7: I love guy, but you know, like I'm happy that
- 52:01Speaker 7: it almost gonna you know, he just came in and
- 52:03Speaker 7: he himself, he said, I'm just gonna do it to
- 52:04Speaker 7: steer the ship until the end of the season and
- 52:06Speaker 7: hopefully they found somebody coming up. But I feel like
- 52:10Speaker 7: no matter which manager you hire, in the case of Milan,
- 52:12Speaker 7: like you have to like it takes time. Like Pulley
- 52:15Speaker 7: took what three years before they wanted to score that though,
- 52:17Speaker 7: what was it three years.
- 52:19Speaker 4: He came in right after John Powell.
- 52:24Speaker 7: Yeah, two years and a half, let's say, right like
- 52:27Speaker 7: it it's it's it's always gonna be, it's always gonna
- 52:30Speaker 7: take its time. Spiletti took took a couple of years too,
- 52:32Speaker 7: you know, Like it's it's rare that you can get
- 52:35Speaker 7: a manager coming in and then just turned them into
- 52:36Speaker 7: an overnight success unless the league is weak, especially in
- 52:40Speaker 7: sidi A where the league is not weak. Like it's
- 52:44Speaker 7: like most said it perfectly, like what we have that's
- 52:47Speaker 7: not it's not sexy, but it's it's a great factor
- 52:50Speaker 7: to have is brains, like we have the brains of
- 52:53Speaker 7: caucho of football, you know, like we we have we
- 52:56Speaker 7: have men who know how to read the game, understand
- 52:58Speaker 7: the game and adapt. That's why we see Italian teams
- 53:01Speaker 7: doing well in European competitions more often than not. You know,
- 53:03Speaker 7: like there's obviously exceptions here and there, but like you know,
- 53:06Speaker 7: we always had at least one Italian team in some
- 53:08Speaker 7: final and some European.
- 53:09Speaker 4: Topic or even like the coaches too, like you said.
- 53:12Speaker 7: Yeah, exactly. So it's tough when you want to break
- 53:15Speaker 7: into a league like City y Ah, and you have
- 53:18Speaker 7: a lot of like smart managers that you're gonna have
- 53:20Speaker 7: to go up against, you know, because it's it's it's
- 53:23Speaker 7: every game is a game of chess. He like Cobo
- 53:27Speaker 7: tenth Place. I made the joke, but look where they're at,
- 53:29Speaker 7: you know, like you know, even though Chuck Fabergast is
- 53:31Speaker 7: not Italian, But what I'm saying is that that's the
- 53:33Speaker 7: type of stuff you're gonna have to go up against
- 53:34Speaker 7: where it's like sometimes you just you think you're, oh,
- 53:36Speaker 7: like this team's coming from a small town, they don't
- 53:38Speaker 7: have the finances.
- 53:39Speaker 4: It doesn't matter.
- 53:40Speaker 7: Their manager is gonna come up with a system. It
- 53:41Speaker 7: just happens to counteract yours and you get these surprise
- 53:44Speaker 7: results every once in a while.
- 53:47Speaker 8: Build a fucking wall.
- 53:48Speaker 4: Yeah, they don't care.
- 53:51Speaker 7: Yeah, pure pure Tonatural style.
- 53:55Speaker 6: Yeah.
- 53:55Speaker 7: But then you're gonna have like now you have Sasolo
- 53:58Speaker 7: coming up, they're gonna ruin some the top team. Yeah, yeah,
- 54:02Speaker 7: some racket musters going on over there. But in all seriousness,
- 54:06Speaker 7: it's it's it's gonna be tough, and you need to like,
- 54:11Speaker 7: there has to be an understanding that in order for
- 54:13Speaker 7: a team to become scudetto contender in sidi Yah, it's
- 54:16Speaker 7: never gonna be an overnight success. It's never gonna be
- 54:18Speaker 7: like you're gonna wake up one season and like not
- 54:21Speaker 7: believes because the pieces were still there already. It was
- 54:23Speaker 7: just last season was an anomaly because of the whole
- 54:26Speaker 7: like conflict with coaching, sile leaving towards the end of
- 54:29Speaker 7: the summer and they had to scramble to find somebody.
- 54:31Speaker 7: Then there was the whole o cement ordeal blah blah blah.
- 54:34Speaker 7: You know, like I think with Kaveti Scalia leaving and
- 54:38Speaker 7: it hurt me that he left this winter, but the
- 54:40Speaker 7: fact that the team is still computer to Scaretto shows
- 54:42Speaker 7: that there was something that was established there and you're
- 54:44Speaker 7: just like, okay, well, you know, we're just gonna have
- 54:46Speaker 7: to adapt now, and you know, and it's not easy
- 54:48Speaker 7: for a team to have that, to have that, you know,
- 54:50Speaker 7: like the Milan in my personal opinion that wanted scudetto
- 54:53Speaker 7: seemed to kind of have that because they kind of
- 54:55Speaker 7: built some identity or cohees inness. But then as you
- 54:58Speaker 7: gut as you and Mope perfectly said, you know, new managed,
- 55:01Speaker 7: new ownership comes in, starts selling players, starts moving players,
- 55:04Speaker 7: you know, treats it like a premier league. Thing like
- 55:06Speaker 7: that doesn't work here.
- 55:08Speaker 4: It doesn't.
- 55:08Speaker 7: It doesn't work.
- 55:10Speaker 4: It's not an NFL team. It's not the New York.
- 55:13Speaker 7: You can't just buy names and expect names to work.
- 55:15Speaker 7: Or you can't buy the guys that are superstars in
- 55:17Speaker 7: one league expected to work.
- 55:18Speaker 4: No, it doesn't.
- 55:18Speaker 7: It doesn't work that way.
- 55:19Speaker 3: Player.
- 55:20Speaker 7: Uh, that's why Lukaku does Lukaku does well. In said, yeah,
- 55:24Speaker 7: because he's he's learned how to adapt to the city,
- 55:26Speaker 7: has style, and the coaches know what to use them properly.
- 55:29Speaker 7: Whereas elsewhere, you know, like you know, we see Lacaca moments.
- 55:33Speaker 7: Is at a Lucacu moments exactly.
- 55:36Speaker 9: The I'll challenge you guys on the you know, no
- 55:39Speaker 9: coach can come in and make a miracle.
- 55:43Speaker 8: They can do it.
- 55:44Speaker 5: I think, Yeah, he's like he's like an exception to
- 55:47Speaker 5: the rule.
- 55:48Speaker 9: Yeah, I mean he's gone, right, Like I don't know
- 55:50Speaker 9: if you guys saw that report today, Like yeah, what
- 55:52Speaker 9: he's demanding, Like he's he's gone. So I think Milan
- 55:56Speaker 9: made a huge mistake last year not not hiring him,
- 56:00Speaker 9: especially for like what they're trying to do, Like their
- 56:03Speaker 9: life would be so much easier if.
- 56:04Speaker 8: They had him. Frankly, like if with everything they're doing.
- 56:07Speaker 8: So we'll see.
- 56:09Speaker 9: I think I think if they were to somehow become serious,
- 56:12Speaker 9: like I think that is that is the coach they
- 56:14Speaker 9: should be like, yeah, we should, we should.
- 56:16Speaker 8: Hire this guy and he'll you know, he's going to
- 56:18Speaker 8: get us in the top four. But yeah, I don't know,
- 56:24Speaker 8: we'll see. There's a lot of names. It's going to
- 56:25Speaker 8: be an interesting summer.
- 56:26Speaker 9: Like I think Allegory can bring stability and can fix
- 56:30Speaker 9: the goal leaking problem that Milan has. That said, you know,
- 56:34Speaker 9: there's a lot of things not to like about Allegory
- 56:36Speaker 9: and risk. You know, it'll be exciting to see where
- 56:40Speaker 9: he goes no matter what, because he's had so much
- 56:43Speaker 9: time off and he's a great coach, Like there's no
- 56:45Speaker 9: there's no doubting that aeg isn't a great coach.
- 56:49Speaker 7: But I mean like before like hot Days an anomaly
- 56:52Speaker 7: because he took a euro squad of like Stuardo Paolo.
- 56:59Speaker 7: They're in fighting for like a potential semi final spot.
- 57:03Speaker 7: Like let's like a Farrad point to bring up Conte.
- 57:07Speaker 7: But I mean, like I.
- 57:08Speaker 9: Got to give credit works there.
- 57:12Speaker 7: But I think he's just he's been in the league
- 57:14Speaker 7: for so long he just knows how to play the system,
- 57:16Speaker 7: like in figuratively and literally, you know, like it just
- 57:20Speaker 7: I think he is. I think he is a brain
- 57:22Speaker 7: at understanding Calco and stuff and like ending the team
- 57:25Speaker 7: to be good and utilizing his players. But also like
- 57:27Speaker 7: he's he's been around for so long that he just
- 57:29Speaker 7: knows how to.
- 57:30Speaker 2: Like what to do right away.
- 57:32Speaker 7: But yeah, fair enough, I think I think I have
- 57:34Speaker 7: to to give you that point on that when Conte
- 57:36Speaker 7: is an exception to the rules him.
- 57:38Speaker 4: So yeah, just so I agree.
- 57:42Speaker 1: Looking at the city at table, obviously Roma saw his chance.
- 57:46Speaker 1: So the transfer top four, which is pretty crazy. I mean, Bill,
- 57:50Speaker 1: you must you know, obviously you have to be happy
- 57:52Speaker 1: with that, especially where they were in January.
- 57:54Speaker 2: I think it was twenty minutes on Sunday. I think
- 57:58Speaker 2: they were in champions like I.
- 57:59Speaker 4: Was the stop at the time, which it's crazy.
- 58:05Speaker 2: In itself that, you know, second to last game and
- 58:08Speaker 2: ran near.
- 58:09Speaker 6: You had them in Champions League for part of It's
- 58:11Speaker 6: just crazy.
- 58:12Speaker 4: Where were they?
- 58:13Speaker 3: They were?
- 58:13Speaker 4: Whereing in in January?
- 58:14Speaker 1: They were, there were twelve points, four points above the
- 58:19Speaker 1: relegation zone.
- 58:21Speaker 7: So they played.
- 58:22Speaker 1: They played to Reno on Sunday, their way to Torino.
- 58:24Speaker 1: Juve is away to Vanezia. Latto still in the mix.
- 58:27Speaker 1: They host Lazio, Uh sorry, Lato Latzo host last year. Yes, lecha,
- 58:37Speaker 1: you know, obviously as a ROMA fan, you know, obviously
- 58:41Speaker 1: you can't be disappointed if they don't miss out on
- 58:44Speaker 1: Champions League consider where they were and they finished, you know,
- 58:46Speaker 1: in the Europa League spot. But I mean, you're you know,
- 58:49Speaker 1: you're still guns blazing. You want to see this team
- 58:51Speaker 1: just at least get the three points, do what they
- 58:53Speaker 1: can do right on uh on Sunday to at least,
- 58:56Speaker 1: you know, challenge for this top four, right.
- 58:59Speaker 6: Yeah, I think just focusing on three. I mean, I
- 59:02Speaker 6: I've been watching this league for a long time. There's
- 59:04Speaker 6: there's no way uh Neuve.
- 59:06Speaker 2: Is gonna lose that game.
- 59:07Speaker 6: And it's I don't think it's just gonna be Juve
- 59:10Speaker 6: who's making sure that it lose that game. The only
- 59:13Speaker 6: hope I have is Bonancia is Vonacia obviously has something
- 59:16Speaker 6: to play for it.
- 59:17Speaker 2: That's the only hope I have.
- 59:19Speaker 6: And it kind of reminds me, do you guys remember
- 59:22Speaker 6: I think it was that Umplie team that bring it
- 59:26Speaker 6: up that one game.
- 59:29Speaker 2: That's what That's what I'm hoping.
- 59:31Speaker 10: That crazy, that's I mean, I'm not even you know,
- 59:40Speaker 10: there's like a triangle like Roman fans.
- 59:42Speaker 2: Like like high hopes and then like to be like destroyed.
- 59:46Speaker 6: I'm not even gonna be thereed, I don't think. I
- 59:49Speaker 6: don't think is gonna lose that game, but I could
- 59:51Speaker 6: just hope.
- 59:52Speaker 2: I don't know. I'm just going.
- 59:54Speaker 8: Roman got to be proud of this season, no matter
- 59:57Speaker 8: what I think.
- 59:57Speaker 4: Well from twelve to let's say fifths or even four
- 1:00:00Speaker 4: or five, like wherever they.
- 1:00:01Speaker 5: Fall, it's it's it's it's huge, Like I know Jenny
- 1:00:05Speaker 5: and like he said it multiple times on the show,
- 1:00:08Speaker 5: like just surprising, shocked, like it wasn't something that you
- 1:00:11Speaker 5: would have expected, and like as good as Jenny's predicting
- 1:00:14Speaker 5: making predictions, like it's hard to really imagine seeing this
- 1:00:18Speaker 5: Roma where they were and again, you know, loved with
- 1:00:22Speaker 5: what they did under Mourinho, you know, loved when Derossi
- 1:00:26Speaker 5: was there.
- 1:00:26Speaker 4: But you know, Danieri comes in and and.
- 1:00:28Speaker 5: We just said it perfectly before, you know, and just
- 1:00:31Speaker 5: change the whole culture and really got these guys playing
- 1:00:33Speaker 5: and not me playing for for themselves, but playing for
- 1:00:37Speaker 5: each other, playing for the city. Like you know, there's
- 1:00:40Speaker 5: there's certain you know, piaz said that, you know, the
- 1:00:42Speaker 5: shirt weighs a bit more, right, I mean, why is
- 1:00:44Speaker 5: one of them?
- 1:00:45Speaker 4: You know, Roma is definitely one of them as well.
- 1:00:46Speaker 5: So it's it's you know, it's it's incredible wherever they fall.
- 1:00:50Speaker 5: I think, you know, obviously the hardcore fans are going
- 1:00:53Speaker 5: to be pissed because you know, you're very close of
- 1:00:56Speaker 5: getting back in the Champions League.
- 1:00:57Speaker 4: After what it's been when since twenty what nineteen.
- 1:01:01Speaker 6: I was talking to some of it was, I don't
- 1:01:02Speaker 6: know if you remember the Porto lost win Danielo.
- 1:01:04Speaker 4: Had that goal, oh yes, yes, and.
- 1:01:07Speaker 6: The second leg they just got they just got called
- 1:01:10Speaker 6: the Portugal, they got port where they just came out
- 1:01:13Speaker 6: and just fought.
- 1:01:15Speaker 8: Yeah.
- 1:01:16Speaker 4: So it's been a it's been it's been too long.
- 1:01:17Speaker 6: I think forma and it's tough because you play this
- 1:01:20Speaker 6: game where you really need that money to you know
- 1:01:22Speaker 6: what I mean, you really need that Champions League money.
- 1:01:25Speaker 2: And I saw once you get in you can stay
- 1:01:27Speaker 2: in with that money. So we'll see. I mean, as
- 1:01:29Speaker 2: long as you know, as long as they finished. I
- 1:01:31Speaker 2: had a lot too.
- 1:01:32Speaker 8: I think it's a win.
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: It's it's a win.
- 1:01:35Speaker 1: I mean, look, Billy, you have a sixteen draw sixteen
- 1:01:39Speaker 1: draws on the season, most in the league.
- 1:01:43Speaker 4: So points. What's the points again?
- 1:01:45Speaker 3: Yes, you've said, I'm saying you got a chance.
- 1:01:46Speaker 4: I think it's one sixty four to sixty three, right.
- 1:01:49Speaker 3: Uh, sixty seven to sixty six?
- 1:01:51Speaker 4: Oh, sorry, sixty seven.
- 1:01:53Speaker 1: You made Roma sixty so Roma. It's fairly simple maths.
- 1:01:59Speaker 1: They win and youve doesn't win.
- 1:02:01Speaker 6: I thought the chance I thought I was hoping for
- 1:02:05Speaker 6: dro I thought that was the chance I could have said.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: I couldn't. So I don't know.
- 1:02:11Speaker 6: I just don't be That's always let's they always let
- 1:02:13Speaker 6: me down whenever.
- 1:02:15Speaker 4: Maybe maybe this.
- 1:02:16Speaker 7: Time, beautiful kids, And then yeah, they was about to say,
- 1:02:19Speaker 7: let's go down in style.
- 1:02:20Speaker 8: At least guys, can we do what can we do
- 1:02:23Speaker 8: something here?
- 1:02:24Speaker 9: Can we do I mean it's Wednesday, this is the
- 1:02:26Speaker 9: last show before Friday for you guys. Yeah, yeah, Can
- 1:02:30Speaker 9: we do predictions the winner?
- 1:02:33Speaker 4: Well, that's what we're gonna that's what we're gonna ease into.
- 1:02:36Speaker 4: So I'm perfect.
- 1:02:38Speaker 9: I want to do I want to do four five
- 1:02:39Speaker 9: six too. I want us to predict four five six
- 1:02:42Speaker 9: in the table for first.
- 1:02:44Speaker 3: You guys, go ahead.
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: First and Roma.
- 1:02:46Speaker 6: I just wanted to say, first of beauty of I
- 1:02:49Speaker 6: think the way to describe the whole season is the
- 1:02:51Speaker 6: up and down of Pellegrini, uh kind of you know,
- 1:02:54Speaker 6: off the squad hurt blah blah blah, and then uh,
- 1:02:59Speaker 6: last game with the the fans with the signs.
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: Saying Lorenzo, You'll always be one of us, And that's
- 1:03:04Speaker 2: just the beauty of the game.
- 1:03:05Speaker 6: I think right there is where you know we're so
- 1:03:08Speaker 6: he's my one of my favorite players. But this year
- 1:03:10Speaker 6: has been kind of you know, it's been rough. It's
- 1:03:13Speaker 6: been rough, and I don't think he's in our future plans,
- 1:03:15Speaker 6: but he's still one of us. And I don't know,
- 1:03:18Speaker 6: I think I'm just proud of the part of the team,
- 1:03:20Speaker 6: part of the fan base. It's it's it's good to
- 1:03:22Speaker 6: be a roma phantoms.
- 1:03:26Speaker 5: But yeah, like listen, I think we couldn't ask for
- 1:03:30Speaker 5: a better like we've had two years consecutively, like just
- 1:03:33Speaker 5: to like steer in towards like the top two now, right,
- 1:03:36Speaker 5: like the school that told we've been saying on the
- 1:03:38Speaker 5: show almost like week in and week out.
- 1:03:40Speaker 4: Now it's it's been just a crazy ride.
- 1:03:42Speaker 5: We've had two back to back years where it's been
- 1:03:44Speaker 5: a blowout of a year and it's been basically one
- 1:03:47Speaker 5: with like games to spare and it's you know that's
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: great in all right if you're a fan of those
- 1:03:52Speaker 5: those clubs, you know, when did it? Obviously Whenapo, we
- 1:03:54Speaker 5: did it two years ago, and but this year it's
- 1:03:58Speaker 5: them too. But you know, by the way one point
- 1:04:01Speaker 5: uh separates him seventy nine points for not seventy eight
- 1:04:04Speaker 5: for inter we said it. We've said it, you know
- 1:04:07Speaker 5: these past couple of weeks, and Johnny knows, you know
- 1:04:10Speaker 5: not we just you know.
- 1:04:11Speaker 4: Win, they're in there. They win. They number four.
- 1:04:15Speaker 5: It's the city is gonna be on fire, like it's
- 1:04:18Speaker 5: it's it's right there right like they just they win.
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: They control their own destiny personally. Before we kick off
- 1:04:26Speaker 5: this this prediction thing. I'm sticking to what I said,
- 1:04:30Speaker 5: you know, uh, you know pre preseason, you know our
- 1:04:34Speaker 5: our our season preview episode, I said, now we was
- 1:04:37Speaker 5: gonna win this withoo that too. I'm sticking with my
- 1:04:39Speaker 5: guns on that, like just going back to you know,
- 1:04:42Speaker 5: the whole Conte thing, like you know, he couldn't funck
- 1:04:45Speaker 5: this up in my opinion, Like I know, there's still
- 1:04:47Speaker 5: one game to like to play, so you know this
- 1:04:50Speaker 5: might all come back to haunt us, but.
- 1:04:53Speaker 4: The one game a week.
- 1:04:54Speaker 5: They're really only focusing on Sadiyah, you know, him being
- 1:04:58Speaker 5: just a serial winner, you know if it be year one,
- 1:05:01Speaker 5: year two, and obviously you know year three is usually gone.
- 1:05:04Speaker 5: But you know he knows how to win, you know,
- 1:05:08Speaker 5: uh in Sidia and just you know, for for for
- 1:05:10Speaker 5: his club, so bringing Ukaku and I think that bread
- 1:05:14Speaker 5: and butter with him was was gonna always always gonna hit.
- 1:05:17Speaker 5: So I'm sticking with as my school that the winter,
- 1:05:20Speaker 5: I guess obviously the other side of me is being
- 1:05:22Speaker 5: a me one fan. We cannot see fucking to win
- 1:05:24Speaker 5: another school that though, right, so just like we can't
- 1:05:28Speaker 5: see them win the Champions League. So yeah, I'm sticking
- 1:05:31Speaker 5: with op for for my prediction. I don't know if
- 1:05:33Speaker 5: Johnny's gonna say his his prediction, you know, being uh,
- 1:05:36Speaker 5: you know, we like to be a little superstitious here, but.
- 1:05:43Speaker 8: Gona win.
- 1:05:48Speaker 7: I'm not superstitious, but I'm a little stitious.
- 1:05:51Speaker 4: But if it would be me one day, I know
- 1:05:54Speaker 4: I would be superstitious. So I hear you.
- 1:05:56Speaker 7: So for the four five six, he's just skipping over
- 1:06:00Speaker 7: the questions. I'm gonna I'm just gonna say just because
- 1:06:05Speaker 7: that's the easy one. That's the easy one, easy one,
- 1:06:07Speaker 7: four five six. It's not gonna change all three teams.
- 1:06:10Speaker 7: I think they win. I think it stays as is. Uh,
- 1:06:13Speaker 7: they all have favorable matchups. I doubt something crazy happens.
- 1:06:16Speaker 7: I know you've had sixteen draws, but playing for Champions League,
- 1:06:20Speaker 7: they're gonna find something within them, and I think that
- 1:06:23Speaker 7: doesn't shift around. I think Alma qualifies for EPA Europa League. Honestly,
- 1:06:28Speaker 7: I'd rather that than Champions League because at least Europa
- 1:06:30Speaker 7: League you have a nice like uh you know, they
- 1:06:33Speaker 7: they have like some arms reach of actually doing damage
- 1:06:35Speaker 7: in that competition, where a Champions League I'm still not
- 1:06:37Speaker 7: confident with the squad yet to do that Actually I
- 1:06:39Speaker 7: don't even know what they're actually gonna be in next year,
- 1:06:41Speaker 7: so you know, I don't want them to get embarrassed
- 1:06:43Speaker 7: in Champions League and then cause a whole spiral effect.
- 1:06:44Speaker 7: But that's that's a rent for another night. I don't
- 1:06:47Speaker 7: need to get down that the that spiral. Uh, this
- 1:06:50Speaker 7: is how I feel like it's gonna like it's gonna
- 1:06:53Speaker 7: go down and I'm gonna go crazy off the wall
- 1:06:55Speaker 7: predictions here, but bear with me on this. So both
- 1:06:59Speaker 7: in Zaggy and Kante are suspended for that next match.
- 1:07:03Speaker 7: They both got a red card, so they're not gonna
- 1:07:04Speaker 7: be behind the bench because of that. Inter's gonna have
- 1:07:08Speaker 7: a shock match with Como where they're gonna draw. Como
- 1:07:12Speaker 7: is gonna get that surprise like effect on them. They're
- 1:07:14Speaker 7: gonna get a draw, and I know, and then on
- 1:07:17Speaker 7: the inverse, Notopoly because they're gonna have no direction and
- 1:07:20Speaker 7: this fucking team every time they just fucking like get
- 1:07:24Speaker 7: right towards the end and they fumble it. They're gonna
- 1:07:28Speaker 7: lose that game and it's gonna being drawn on points
- 1:07:30Speaker 7: and they're gonna have a silly ass playoff game on
- 1:07:33Speaker 7: Monday where Inter's gonna win on penalty shots. That's the
- 1:07:36Speaker 7: way I see it, because there everybody's gonna there and
- 1:07:40Speaker 7: then it's just on paper, Inters a better squad than
- 1:07:42Speaker 7: not Poly. You know, it's gonna one one, one one
- 1:07:45Speaker 7: both games this season. It's obviously gonna be another draw.
- 1:07:47Speaker 7: They're gonna pellty shots and then that's a point flip,
- 1:07:49Speaker 7: and I feel like as if just there's more lethality
- 1:07:52Speaker 7: with Inters like goaltending and with their shooters versus what
- 1:07:57Speaker 7: Napoli has to offer in some players. So it's gonna
- 1:08:01Speaker 7: come down to that, especially that intern is gonna be
- 1:08:03Speaker 7: charged because they have a back to back, uh you
- 1:08:06Speaker 7: know like thing going on because that next week and
- 1:08:09Speaker 7: they're gonna playing for Champions League against PSG. So it's uh,
- 1:08:13Speaker 7: it's that's that's that's my off the wall prediction for
- 1:08:16Speaker 7: this scenario. I think Interns still wins Scudetto, but from
- 1:08:19Speaker 7: the playoff game and obviously you know they're gonna want
- 1:08:22Speaker 7: this to happen because we can get so many eyes.
- 1:08:24Speaker 7: Everyone's like, oh, like a championship match for the Scudetto,
- 1:08:27Speaker 7: everyone's gonna watch, and that's how you get eyes onto
- 1:08:29Speaker 7: the TV, and that's how you like develop interest for
- 1:08:31Speaker 7: the league and stuff.
- 1:08:32Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 1:08:32Speaker 7: Maybe I'm even in the tinfoil hat on. Maybe it's
- 1:08:34Speaker 7: it's getting that it's getting wrapped on too tight or whatever.
- 1:08:37Speaker 7: I just feel like that's what it might come down to.
- 1:08:39Speaker 7: Or we can see the funniest thing ever and just
- 1:08:40Speaker 7: see interfumble. Both championships. You know they lose, they get
- 1:08:43Speaker 7: very league.
- 1:08:45Speaker 11: They Yeah, although you've been you're gonna be posed.
- 1:08:57Speaker 4: Champions.
- 1:09:00Speaker 8: That's a good that's a good segue in their mind.
- 1:09:04Speaker 4: All right, um.
- 1:09:09Speaker 9: In ThReD, I'm not gonna I'm not gonna make a
- 1:09:12Speaker 9: prediction on the scoot outo. My girlfriend's Oh I will
- 1:09:14Speaker 9: my girlfriends from Napolis. I'm gonna say the's gonna win
- 1:09:17Speaker 9: the scoot auto. But I'll say this, Uh, actually, I'm
- 1:09:22Speaker 9: gonna bring you guys a little fact in third in
- 1:09:25Speaker 9: this Champions League season. Okay, they've played a total of
- 1:09:29Speaker 9: one thousand, two hundred and sixty minutes his homework. You
- 1:09:34Speaker 9: guys know, for how many minutes of those have they
- 1:09:37Speaker 9: been losing in Champions League?
- 1:09:39Speaker 8: One thousand, two hundred and sixty minutes?
- 1:09:41Speaker 4: Fifteen?
- 1:09:42Speaker 7: Probably fifteen?
- 1:09:44Speaker 9: Yeah?
- 1:09:44Speaker 4: Cool? What five? That's crazy.
- 1:09:49Speaker 8: You're just blowing up my spot. Yeah, really, yeah, it's
- 1:09:52Speaker 8: sixteen minutes stage.
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: Oh, Jenny, Johnny.
- 1:09:58Speaker 3: What you're a teacher, you have a wealth of knowledge.
- 1:10:02Speaker 9: Sixteen minutes. I mean that's increata. I don't think enough
- 1:10:05Speaker 9: people give this team credit, like just for how good
- 1:10:10Speaker 9: they are. I'm gonna I'm gonna actually make my my
- 1:10:13Speaker 9: hot take's not gonna be in the scud outo for
- 1:10:15Speaker 9: the for the UCL finals since we probably won't be
- 1:10:18Speaker 9: on before that.
- 1:10:19Speaker 8: Again, I think PSG. I've had so many friends, so
- 1:10:22Speaker 8: many EPL.
- 1:10:23Speaker 9: Fans like tell me, oh, PSG's gonna win, you know,
- 1:10:25Speaker 9: because they.
- 1:10:26Speaker 8: Just whatever's like sexy. Their eyes kind of go forward,
- 1:10:29Speaker 8: and that's that's their knowledge of football. They're like, oh, wow,
- 1:10:31Speaker 8: you mean them all? You know this thing, this is
- 1:10:35Speaker 8: a shiny toy PSG.
- 1:10:37Speaker 9: Wow.
- 1:10:38Speaker 8: I don't think PSG even sniffed the net.
- 1:10:41Speaker 9: Like I think, see there win easily, maybe like one nothing,
- 1:10:46Speaker 9: maybe two nothing. But I think it's like I think
- 1:10:49Speaker 9: it's gonna be total domination. Said from the beginning of
- 1:10:51Speaker 9: the year. I think if there's I think they're one
- 1:10:54Speaker 9: of the best teams in the last fifteen years, maybe
- 1:10:58Speaker 9: twenty years, But I I think they're I mean, I
- 1:11:01Speaker 9: think they're an incredible team.
- 1:11:02Speaker 8: I think they're by far the best team in the world.
- 1:11:04Speaker 9: I think because you got to look at it, they're
- 1:11:06Speaker 9: just like in Ceitia is different from a tournament, right,
- 1:11:08Speaker 9: like a tournament I think they're built for because they
- 1:11:11Speaker 9: don't they just don't give up goals. I know Barcelona
- 1:11:15Speaker 9: that was a different case. Barcelona's really really good team
- 1:11:18Speaker 9: and I think we'll look back on on that win
- 1:11:20Speaker 9: is a really important one and D's history with kind
- 1:11:24Speaker 9: of where Barcelona's trending. But like I think, when you
- 1:11:29Speaker 9: when you don't let goals in easily, you have a
- 1:11:32Speaker 9: great midfield and you can bang in some goals, like
- 1:11:35Speaker 9: you're just incredibly hard.
- 1:11:36Speaker 8: To beat in the Champions League, right.
- 1:11:41Speaker 9: And I think you know, obviously that hasn't translated.
- 1:11:45Speaker 8: I think whereasn't.
- 1:11:46Speaker 9: Correlated as directly into the league because they've had a
- 1:11:50Speaker 9: few issues especially of late. But I think it's just
- 1:11:52Speaker 9: really hard, Like we'll say this, if Inter don't win
- 1:11:56Speaker 9: the league, if if if all a said and done
- 1:11:58Speaker 9: and knopo league were to where to win the league,
- 1:12:01Speaker 9: I think I think it just shows that, like it's
- 1:12:06Speaker 9: so incredibly hard to win those two trophies in the
- 1:12:10Speaker 9: same year, and I don't think it's getting any easier. Like,
- 1:12:13Speaker 9: you know, if you're in a league where you're just
- 1:12:17Speaker 9: destroying your league like Liverpool's doing this year, or like
- 1:12:20Speaker 9: Byron usually does in Germany or PSG's doing in France,
- 1:12:23Speaker 9: like so much easier. But when you're in a title
- 1:12:26Speaker 9: race and you're doing Champions League with how many games
- 1:12:28Speaker 9: uaf us thrown in to the schedules, like it's getting
- 1:12:33Speaker 9: to be almost impossible. And I think, yeah, there's kind
- 1:12:36Speaker 9: of made that choice, I think, and they chose Champions League, and.
- 1:12:41Speaker 8: I know it's Augus. He was actually saying the opposite.
- 1:12:42Speaker 9: I think like during the season he was saying that
- 1:12:44Speaker 9: they're that the Scudado meant more for them, but I
- 1:12:47Speaker 9: don't believe it. I think it was just a pipe
- 1:12:50Speaker 9: dream winning the Champions League for them, but it wasn't.
- 1:12:55Speaker 9: So yeah, I think that's that's my that's my case there.
- 1:12:58Speaker 9: I'm gonna go ahead, just make a hot care I
- 1:13:00Speaker 9: think Roma win, Latzio win, you.
- 1:13:06Speaker 4: Have a draw. I'm always gonna say the same thing.
- 1:13:08Speaker 3: Please think you've a draw.
- 1:13:09Speaker 4: Yeah, there you go. I'm with it's a it's a.
- 1:13:12Speaker 9: Weird game, like at Venatsia weird stadium, right, Like.
- 1:13:19Speaker 8: I don't know.
- 1:13:20Speaker 9: I just see maybe like a weird, a weird thing coming.
- 1:13:24Speaker 9: And I hear you, Johnny, like I actually think Europa
- 1:13:26Speaker 9: League would be better for Roma. But extra Champions League
- 1:13:29Speaker 9: money doesn't hurt if they're just continuing to be smart,
- 1:13:32Speaker 9: you know. But but yeah, I don't know. I think
- 1:13:36Speaker 9: I think something weird might happen. I can see I
- 1:13:39Speaker 9: could see a draw and that'll get Roma in.
- 1:13:41Speaker 4: So make it draw number seventeen. Maybe.
- 1:13:46Speaker 9: Oh yeah, I forgot that they add that huge draw
- 1:13:49Speaker 9: period with with Malta.
- 1:13:52Speaker 3: All right, it's my take, know you.
- 1:13:55Speaker 6: All right, I'm gonna I'm gonna be very cinematic with
- 1:13:58Speaker 6: mine an honor and all right, so I think Napoli
- 1:14:04Speaker 6: is gonna score to two early goals and the school
- 1:14:08Speaker 6: that will be kind of wrapped up and intro will
- 1:14:10Speaker 6: probably have a sloppy draw. Uh, Napolis will go on
- 1:14:14Speaker 6: stage for the trophy. De Lorentis will go to lift
- 1:14:18Speaker 6: the trophy. Conte will will stab him in the back,
- 1:14:24Speaker 6: will put on the Sith, the Sith, you know, the
- 1:14:28Speaker 6: sith hood, and he'll have the ghosts of Andre.
- 1:14:31Speaker 2: And waiting for him on the plane and.
- 1:14:33Speaker 6: He'll be back at you by that's crazy.
- 1:14:42Speaker 11: Do you watch It's the statue God that's called here.
- 1:14:48Speaker 7: With the steel chair.
- 1:14:53Speaker 9: Even Script gonna get a second rebuild Instagram. Our team
- 1:14:59Speaker 9: is really stuffed up their game in the last two seasons.
- 1:15:01Speaker 9: You know, I wouldn't I could see them drawing this out.
- 1:15:04Speaker 2: Yeah, I think Script raiders. I think they put that
- 1:15:08Speaker 2: list dout. He knew, he knew the dealer and would
- 1:15:10Speaker 2: never do that. So I think he's ready to go back.
- 1:15:12Speaker 4: To two hundred million. Is he crazy?
- 1:15:14Speaker 2: Like?
- 1:15:14Speaker 6: That's I think they'll go back and rebuild. I think
- 1:15:17Speaker 6: four or five six will stay the same. I think relegation.
- 1:15:19Speaker 7: I mean, you sell us, man, you're already halfway there.
- 1:15:22Speaker 7: Just you know, like you know, just say.
- 1:15:27Speaker 4: So.
- 1:15:27Speaker 2: Yeah, that's my that's my take.
- 1:15:28Speaker 6: I think I think Napoli in there, obviously Atlanta and
- 1:15:31Speaker 6: then Ve.
- 1:15:35Speaker 2: Yeah.
- 1:15:35Speaker 1: Personally, I think the teams that have to win, they're
- 1:15:37Speaker 1: gonna win. Like I see Napoli and Enter both winning
- 1:15:40Speaker 1: their games, especially Napoly it's at home, you know, No,
- 1:15:43Speaker 1: no disrespect to Como.
- 1:15:45Speaker 3: They're a good team.
- 1:15:45Speaker 1: They're finishing tenth exactly, like Johnny predicted back in August,
- 1:15:50Speaker 1: but they have nothing left to play for. They're not
- 1:15:53Speaker 1: going up, They're not going down Nopoly. Like I said,
- 1:15:57Speaker 1: it's at home when they won the that to two
- 1:16:01Speaker 1: years ago, Johnny.
- 1:16:02Speaker 3: The final game? Was it at home or was it
- 1:16:04Speaker 3: on the road? I forget?
- 1:16:06Speaker 7: It was not home, but they wanted way before, like
- 1:16:08Speaker 7: it was early right, Yeah, it was like early May.
- 1:16:11Speaker 7: It was May fourth days.
- 1:16:12Speaker 4: They celebrated on that home match.
- 1:16:14Speaker 8: Yeah, yeah, but.
- 1:16:16Speaker 1: They always celebrated at home. It was just more like
- 1:16:18Speaker 1: the clinching the clinching game.
- 1:16:19Speaker 3: I forget would know.
- 1:16:20Speaker 7: The clinching game was on the road.
- 1:16:22Speaker 3: The clinch was on the road.
- 1:16:22Speaker 8: Okay, it was all road.
- 1:16:24Speaker 7: They oh my god, which team was it against?
- 1:16:27Speaker 4: Was it?
- 1:16:28Speaker 7: Uh?
- 1:16:29Speaker 4: I didn't wasn't it was no, I think it was.
- 1:16:34Speaker 2: It was a weird weird.
- 1:16:36Speaker 7: Yeah, but like but like majority of the stateame was
- 1:16:39Speaker 7: it was not Blowdani that would just went there for
- 1:16:41Speaker 7: the for the for the match and they they swarmed
- 1:16:43Speaker 7: the field because all they needed was uh it was
- 1:16:45Speaker 7: a draw and I think they got the win they
- 1:16:47Speaker 7: got or was it like something We're like they they
- 1:16:49Speaker 7: got the job, but it was enough something something ridiculous,
- 1:16:52Speaker 7: but like, but essentially it was a win they needed,
- 1:16:55Speaker 7: you just needed to win in that game, and they
- 1:16:56Speaker 7: did and it was a one zero win and the
- 1:16:58Speaker 7: whole like they I did the field afterwards for the celebration,
- 1:17:02Speaker 7: So it was like early May though it was decided.
- 1:17:05Speaker 5: Way yeah yeah, yeah, yeah yeah.
- 1:17:10Speaker 9: I mean side note, I saw the other day that
- 1:17:12Speaker 9: they had like four hundred thousand people on the website
- 1:17:16Speaker 9: in science ticket to that.
- 1:17:17Speaker 8: Yeah, it's gonna be it's gonna be wild.
- 1:17:20Speaker 1: Yeah, So it's gonna be crazy at the Marithona on
- 1:17:23Speaker 1: on Friday.
- 1:17:24Speaker 4: But can I just say something like why Friday? Like
- 1:17:29Speaker 4: I don't get I don't get it.
- 1:17:31Speaker 3: Something I understand the logic.
- 1:17:32Speaker 7: Atre so this is what happens. I'll give you the
- 1:17:35Speaker 7: answer right away. So PSG and Interim playing next our
- 1:17:39Speaker 7: next Saturday.
- 1:17:40Speaker 4: Right.
- 1:17:40Speaker 7: PSG's last game is Monday to twenty six. That's their
- 1:17:43Speaker 7: last game of the league. Right, So interns like, if
- 1:17:46Speaker 7: we have to play a playoff game for this because
- 1:17:49Speaker 7: of the rules, it's like, can we do it Monday
- 1:17:52Speaker 7: because that's the same time PSG plays that it's fair
- 1:17:54Speaker 7: for both teams that they have the same amount of
- 1:17:56Speaker 7: days rest right, So instead of having a Sunday Monday
- 1:17:59Speaker 7: game they're gonna do They're gonna push both teams to Friday,
- 1:18:02Speaker 7: so like that, if a playoff game needs to happen,
- 1:18:04Speaker 7: they play it Monday, so both teams have like about
- 1:18:07Speaker 7: so to speak, and then inter can also have the
- 1:18:09Speaker 7: same amount of rest as PSG will have for for
- 1:18:12Speaker 7: the Champions League game. So that's why it's that's why
- 1:18:15Speaker 7: it's been pushed earlier to Friday, and if there's a
- 1:18:17Speaker 7: playoff game, it's gonna be on the Monday.
- 1:18:19Speaker 4: Saturday, Saturday Saturday have been an option.
- 1:18:22Speaker 7: It's just more about they wanted more day. They wanted,
- 1:18:25Speaker 7: like to write, like at least some like an extra
- 1:18:26Speaker 7: day of rest.
- 1:18:28Speaker 3: Plays in the French Cup final on Saturday.
- 1:18:30Speaker 1: By the way, there's their their season is league, A
- 1:18:34Speaker 1: season is done, but they play on Saturday. But so
- 1:18:37Speaker 1: maybe inter Regardless is hoping to not have the playoff
- 1:18:40Speaker 1: whatever happens, they probably just don't want the playoffs at
- 1:18:42Speaker 1: this point.
- 1:18:43Speaker 2: Where will the playoff game be in Rome?
- 1:18:46Speaker 7: Actually yeah, because so what was supposed to happen is that, uh,
- 1:18:50Speaker 7: it goes to the team that has the highest goal differential.
- 1:18:53Speaker 7: I was reading up on it today. Uh during the
- 1:18:56Speaker 7: lunch break. Uh, it would have gone to the team
- 1:18:59Speaker 7: with the highest differential, which would have been Inter, But
- 1:19:02Speaker 7: because of some public limitations right now in terms of travel,
- 1:19:06Speaker 7: they decided to go to a neutral venue in Roma.
- 1:19:08Speaker 7: That's that's where the playoff would be if it were
- 1:19:10Speaker 7: to happen.
- 1:19:10Speaker 4: Interesting.
- 1:19:11Speaker 7: Yeah, so that's so it's it's mind you. In my opinion,
- 1:19:14Speaker 7: that's more in favor of Monopoly because it's about a
- 1:19:17Speaker 7: one hour train ride, you know, but not even but still,
- 1:19:21Speaker 7: you know, it's it's something. It's something that like they
- 1:19:25Speaker 7: considered it's uh, and in my opinion, I think it's
- 1:19:28Speaker 7: totally fair to make that kind of accommodation because I mean,
- 1:19:31Speaker 7: Inter does have a viable argument. It's like, you know,
- 1:19:34Speaker 7: we have to play a Champions League game, and then
- 1:19:35Speaker 7: you have to give us a playoff, and then if
- 1:19:36Speaker 7: you give us like a game back to back, you know,
- 1:19:38Speaker 7: it's a bit if I if I was in intershoes,
- 1:19:41Speaker 7: you know, I would feel like I feel like it's like, Okay,
- 1:19:43Speaker 7: if we don't get this type of accommodation, we're getting
- 1:19:45Speaker 7: dicked here, you know.
- 1:19:46Speaker 2: And it's like, you know, I.
- 1:19:47Speaker 7: Feel like I feel like it's a bit fair. So
- 1:19:49Speaker 7: it does suck because it's on a Friday. Because funny enough,
- 1:19:52Speaker 7: like I made plans to to go watch the game
- 1:19:55Speaker 7: at the at the Napoly Club. Is gonna go watch
- 1:19:58Speaker 7: the game at cafe here called Cafe at Alma. So
- 1:20:02Speaker 7: it's which my cousin works out.
- 1:20:05Speaker 11: He's he's that's like.
- 1:20:10Speaker 4: Johnny's half.
- 1:20:13Speaker 7: That cafe is predominantly uh you know, visited by old
- 1:20:17Speaker 7: that are like you, and so it's it's a whole
- 1:20:20Speaker 7: best of a cafe. But anyways, nonetheless, like we have
- 1:20:25Speaker 7: plans to have a just big watch party there and
- 1:20:27Speaker 7: then afterwards we found I was moved to Friday, were like,
- 1:20:29Speaker 7: majority of us are working.
- 1:20:30Speaker 4: What are we going to do?
- 1:20:32Speaker 3: Take me off?
- 1:20:34Speaker 7: I mean I'd be like like, oh no, I can't
- 1:20:38Speaker 7: teach it.
- 1:20:39Speaker 8: I don't want to.
- 1:20:41Speaker 2: The way that one game, that one game playoff would
- 1:20:45Speaker 2: be wild.
- 1:20:46Speaker 1: Yeah, but the chances of it happening are low, is
- 1:20:48Speaker 1: what it snapply. You would have to lose and would
- 1:20:51Speaker 1: have to draw.
- 1:20:52Speaker 7: Yeah, yeah, it's low, and yeah.
- 1:20:55Speaker 3: That might it might happen.
- 1:20:58Speaker 1: But I was gonna say for the rest of the four, five, six,
- 1:21:01Speaker 1: I see you've a you've a Romo a lotso all
- 1:21:04Speaker 1: winning their respective games, you know, just getting what you know,
- 1:21:08Speaker 1: getting done what they need to do. That leaves Leche
- 1:21:12Speaker 1: at thirty one points. And I think Empley is gonna
- 1:21:15Speaker 1: beat Cality, and Legi's gonna go down and and Police
- 1:21:19Speaker 1: is gonna save their season. Uh so that's my prediction.
- 1:21:22Speaker 1: I will I'm probably wrong. There's probably be a couple
- 1:21:24Speaker 1: of draws in there, especially with you, but we'll see.
- 1:21:27Speaker 1: We'll see a Sunday two forty five last match day.
- 1:21:30Speaker 1: But the season's long. Hey guys, we did our preview
- 1:21:34Speaker 1: episode August August thirteenth for May twenty first day.
- 1:21:37Speaker 3: It's nine months later and the seasons wrapping up.
- 1:21:40Speaker 1: But that means we get Calcho not long after the
- 1:21:44Speaker 1: season ends, uh, you know for interview Fans Club World
- 1:21:46Speaker 1: Cup as well, So it's all the time, all the time,
- 1:21:49Speaker 1: Cultro and then.
- 1:21:50Speaker 4: Back up in August. It's it's it's a short turnaround.
- 1:21:53Speaker 5: So for for a while, it's not like the NFL,
- 1:21:55Speaker 5: you know, NHL and North American sports, right, like you
- 1:21:58Speaker 5: love your sports like you know, and you love your
- 1:22:01Speaker 5: teams and you know it's over and it's like okay,
- 1:22:03Speaker 5: now I gotta wait, like, you know, half the year
- 1:22:05Speaker 5: again just to get back into it.
- 1:22:06Speaker 4: But story, it's a different story.
- 1:22:09Speaker 8: Rights it ends you're like me, I needed a I
- 1:22:12Speaker 8: needed a breath.
- 1:22:14Speaker 7: I mean, we got the Gold Cup happening in a
- 1:22:16Speaker 7: few weeks.
- 1:22:17Speaker 8: So anyway, that's not that's not a serious turn.
- 1:22:23Speaker 1: But guys, I think that'll do it for us. We
- 1:22:26Speaker 1: you know, obviously appreciate you guys coming on both of you.
- 1:22:29Speaker 1: I know it's been a long time. We won't wait
