- 2:03Speaker 2: Jerseys and everything. Yeah, that was a great video case.
- 2:06Speaker 5: Listeners and viewers are not understanding what we're trying to say.
- 2:09Speaker 5: There's this YouTube group called they're also radio comedians in
- 2:14Speaker 5: Italy called Yelki Gold, and they do all these like
- 2:17Speaker 5: culture related skits and every time there's like an Italian
- 2:22Speaker 5: team in the Champions League final, they they like to
- 2:24Speaker 5: do like opposing rival. They act like they like to
- 2:27Speaker 5: act like opposing rivals, trying to like go against the
- 2:30Speaker 5: team that's in the final or whatever. So I suggest
- 2:33Speaker 5: you guys give them a watch. They're they're pretty funny,
- 2:35Speaker 5: and especially their voiceover videos from back in the day
- 2:38Speaker 5: from like the sixteen seventeen season and stuff like that
- 2:40Speaker 5: some one of the funniest videos I've ever seen in
- 2:42Speaker 5: my life. I think the Allegrity impersonations are just worth
- 2:46Speaker 5: it alone.
- 2:48Speaker 2: The Farentina one that's the best one at all. It
- 2:53Speaker 2: should be a video.
- 2:57Speaker 3: But you know the culture, guys, you can fall us
- 2:59Speaker 3: on Instagram, on Twitter, Facebook, YouTube, wherever you listen to
- 3:02Speaker 3: your favorite podcast. But we are joined this week, Like
- 3:07Speaker 3: I said, Steph from Naplee Club Toronto, and I know,
- 3:09Speaker 3: Steph before you're telling me, you guys had to watch party.
- 3:11Speaker 3: So it was on Friday. I mean, I know in Canada,
- 3:14Speaker 3: we're not like people do work on Fridays, but yet
- 3:17Speaker 3: you guys had a massive watch party.
- 3:19Speaker 7: From what I understand, Yeah, it was the same type
- 3:21Speaker 7: of thing. I wasn't expecting it to be such a
- 3:24Speaker 7: crazy meet. It was kind of mad. When it was
- 3:26Speaker 7: announced that they were going to be moving it to Friday.
- 3:28Speaker 7: I was like, damn, might ruin the meet, right, And
- 3:32Speaker 7: even myself being on work, I was relieved of work early,
- 3:36Speaker 7: thanksfull lyat so I got to watch the game and
- 3:38Speaker 7: when I got to the meet and stuff like that.
- 3:40Speaker 4: Throughout the week, we were surprised about how many people came.
- 3:43Speaker 7: Ended up actually being our biggest meet of the season,
- 3:45Speaker 7: around like seventy five people came. It was crazy, like
- 3:48Speaker 7: flags Ever, the whole place, the whole atmosphere throughout the
- 3:51Speaker 7: game was amazing obviously, and it was an amazing me.
- 3:54Speaker 7: It was really even like for myself, it was really
- 3:57Speaker 7: cool experience with all my friends because the last few
- 3:59Speaker 7: that I was in the stadium obviously when the final
- 4:03Speaker 7: game happened, and we know that last time they won
- 4:05Speaker 7: by a landslide, so like that whole motion of a
- 4:08Speaker 7: final game and everyone in one spot kind of like
- 4:11Speaker 7: you don't know at the start of the day we're
- 4:13Speaker 7: going to win the scood autor I think it just
- 4:15Speaker 7: it really made to me like amazing, Like when mcfato
- 4:17Speaker 7: i scored that goal, it was crazy.
- 4:21Speaker 2: Johnny you how did you? How did you experience it?
- 4:24Speaker 5: So thankfully I told my school like, hey, last period,
- 4:28Speaker 5: do not call me, do not message me. I am
- 4:32Speaker 5: not available. I mean myself. The benefits of being a teacher,
- 4:35Speaker 5: I guess, you know, perks of the job.
- 4:38Speaker 2: I guess I just managed. I might watched this time.
- 4:40Speaker 2: I just wanted to watch the game. No, last time
- 4:43Speaker 2: they won, I was I was working that day.
- 4:47Speaker 5: Actually I missed that game, and this time around, I
- 4:50Speaker 5: was like, now I'm not going to miss the opportunity
- 4:51Speaker 5: to watch the game with him. I think Stefani said
- 4:54Speaker 5: it perfectly it's like you you go into this game
- 4:57Speaker 5: not knowing what the results are going to be at
- 4:59Speaker 5: the end, and it's not like as if you know,
- 5:02Speaker 5: it's it's a it's a comfortable gap. It's a one
- 5:05Speaker 5: point gap between and it's not like some other team
- 5:07Speaker 5: that could potentially choke it. It's inter you know, and
- 5:10Speaker 5: you know there's a strong team, and it's it felt
- 5:13Speaker 5: like the game where it's like, oh, yeah, you know,
- 5:15Speaker 5: if they if they, if they, if they toy and
- 5:18Speaker 5: inter wins and like no, no, no, like you have to win,
- 5:20Speaker 5: Like this has to be a win.
- 5:22Speaker 8: It cannot be anything else but a win.
- 5:25Speaker 5: Uh. They had the opportunity to do with the game
- 5:26Speaker 5: before and they messed themselves up, and this was basically like.
- 5:30Speaker 2: It was gut check time for Napoli.
- 5:32Speaker 5: I felt it was more like, Okay, does this team
- 5:34Speaker 5: actually have a wholeness kidding?
- 5:37Speaker 8: If they actually have.
- 5:37Speaker 5: A you know, like the green that's actually win, That's
- 5:43Speaker 5: that's essentially what it was.
- 5:45Speaker 8: And and they did and watching him by no no
- 5:47Speaker 8: was pretty fun. Uh he uh, you never.
- 5:51Speaker 9: Know when I get another chance of this or whatever.
- 5:53Speaker 9: So he's the main reason why I started supporting this club. Anyways,
- 5:56Speaker 9: so it was very important for me to watch the games.
- 5:58Speaker 9: I'm happy that I did. He was, he was obviously
- 6:01Speaker 9: super happy, was making jokes forwards into the game after
- 6:03Speaker 9: his two zero and stuff. You saw you went from
- 6:06Speaker 9: being super serious to like a bit a better mood
- 6:11Speaker 9: for montrealers. I think we're having our little quote unquote
- 6:14Speaker 9: parade for the game or celebration for the championship for that.
- 6:18Speaker 9: So next Sunday, I think it is or whatever. So
- 6:21Speaker 9: I think my mom's gonna try to bring him to go.
- 6:23Speaker 9: I already have plans for that Sunday, but if any,
- 6:26Speaker 9: if any of the listeners are from Montreal, check out
- 6:29Speaker 9: the Club Mapple in Montreal.
- 6:30Speaker 2: For the details and stuff.
- 6:32Speaker 8: I believe it's next Sunday.
- 6:34Speaker 2: Don't pull me on that.
- 6:35Speaker 3: Up to two things, Jen, your microphone sounds like you're underwater,
- 6:40Speaker 3: so I don't know.
- 6:41Speaker 2: Hold on, let me know.
- 6:42Speaker 3: You've had problems before, so you might have to switch
- 6:45Speaker 3: settings or whatever.
- 6:48Speaker 8: It should be my snowball.
- 6:51Speaker 2: That's good.
- 6:52Speaker 3: Uh, it's too bad because I was gonna tell you
- 6:56Speaker 3: go go get some video of it.
- 6:57Speaker 5: But I think my mom is gonna go for sure,
- 6:59Speaker 5: and she's probably yeah, you know, my mom with Facebook
- 7:02Speaker 5: Live step it will tell me. Is it a choppy
- 7:05Speaker 5: thing to just like record and like have videos for everything?
- 7:09Speaker 7: Yeah, some of the the Sono's dad not becomes famous
- 7:14Speaker 7: thing as he always always goes live during the meets
- 7:16Speaker 7: and stuff.
- 7:19Speaker 4: The family.
- 7:22Speaker 5: My mom is the exact same, which she has to
- 7:24Speaker 5: like have videos recordings of everything, like Facebook live of
- 7:27Speaker 5: everything because she's a trophy too.
- 7:29Speaker 8: So I just figured to make a joke about it.
- 7:33Speaker 6: But you mentioned, you mentioned, and I saw that Sereno
- 7:36Speaker 6: and uh and carm we're actually at the Maradona for
- 7:40Speaker 6: the match, just and and others. I saw other of
- 7:43Speaker 6: our our our friends from from social media are not
- 7:46Speaker 6: we friends you know at the game and and and
- 7:50Speaker 6: in Naples for for the.
- 7:51Speaker 2: Event, and.
- 7:53Speaker 6: You know, I mean from our end, we saw the
- 7:56Speaker 6: celebrations and it must have been crazy. Did they did
- 7:59Speaker 6: they like leak anything to you, like how was their
- 8:02Speaker 6: experience and and if you want to if you can
- 8:04Speaker 6: share any anything that they you know winness you know
- 8:07Speaker 6: during the.
- 8:07Speaker 4: Game, Yeah for sure.
- 8:09Speaker 7: So I talked to them like obviously before the game,
- 8:12Speaker 7: and then after the game, I was talking to them
- 8:13Speaker 7: obviously about it and they said it was absolutely chaos.
- 8:17Speaker 7: So like from what the story they told me, and
- 8:19Speaker 7: they were sending me a lot of videos obviously throughout
- 8:21Speaker 7: that night. They were partying pretty much apparently until like
- 8:24Speaker 7: six seven am in the morning, and everyone was out
- 8:27Speaker 7: on the streets just singing, celebrating, and like all my
- 8:30Speaker 7: friends obviously were sending me videos and I was up
- 8:33Speaker 7: still excited to know, and yeah, from the looks of
- 8:37Speaker 7: it and from what they explained to me videos they
- 8:39Speaker 7: sent me, it was just absolute chaos. And it was
- 8:42Speaker 7: kind of cool because obviously a lot of the Monopoly
- 8:45Speaker 7: fans in North America we have our own little group
- 8:47Speaker 7: we talked, right, so a lot of them we're all together,
- 8:50Speaker 7: like raf karm Sadano, I don't know if you guys
- 8:53Speaker 7: know Vincenzo from the Napotix club, Like, yeah, all together.
- 8:57Speaker 4: So it was nice to see that.
- 8:59Speaker 7: As well, you know, like the North americannpoly fans all
- 9:02Speaker 7: representing there and being all together, and yeah, from the
- 9:05Speaker 7: looks of it, it was just crazy.
- 9:07Speaker 4: I was jealous. I was not there.
- 9:10Speaker 2: Well at least you were there last time, right, yeah.
- 9:12Speaker 7: Exactly, so now I know what's experience it like both sides.
- 9:17Speaker 5: Yeah, fair enough, fair enough, like but like the one
- 9:21Speaker 5: thing I want to ask you because you know, for me,
- 9:23Speaker 5: I don't know how I feel about this just yet.
- 9:26Speaker 2: But which one you think feels more special? This one
- 9:30Speaker 2: or the one before that.
- 9:31Speaker 5: We want two years ago, like because we're very lucky
- 9:34Speaker 5: that we actually have seen now Tu Scudetti in our lifetime,
- 9:36Speaker 5: you know, and something where it's like we never we
- 9:38Speaker 5: never thought we would see in our lifetime because you know,
- 9:41Speaker 5: the way the history of the clubs or whatnot. But
- 9:43Speaker 5: like now that we want it twice, which one feels
- 9:46Speaker 5: more special to you?
- 9:48Speaker 4: Tough question.
- 9:48Speaker 7: I was thinking about the action the other day. I mean,
- 9:51Speaker 7: the thing was that last time when we won, it
- 9:55Speaker 7: didn't feel real for two reasons. It didn't feel real
- 9:57Speaker 7: because it was the first time I ever saw and
- 10:00Speaker 7: won myself obviously, so it didn't feel real. And it's
- 10:03Speaker 7: just like the fashion we won last time was like
- 10:05Speaker 7: we won by a landslide and we knew we were
- 10:07Speaker 7: gonna win. So I think last time it was obviously
- 10:11Speaker 7: cool being the first time, but I think this time
- 10:13Speaker 7: kind of hit a lot better just because like that
- 10:16Speaker 7: was like the true experience of what a league championship
- 10:20Speaker 7: is like, like there's actual competition, last time, we blew
- 10:23Speaker 7: all other teams out of the water, were up by
- 10:25Speaker 7: so many points. We kind of knew ahead of time.
- 10:27Speaker 7: Like although as a fan it was very stressful the
- 10:31Speaker 7: whole season watching each game and you see Napoly tie
- 10:34Speaker 7: and drop points and enter they're going back and forth.
- 10:37Speaker 7: But at the end of it, I think that kind
- 10:39Speaker 7: of made this Scudetto more enjoyable and more meaningful because
- 10:42Speaker 7: you could say that we really thought and we really
- 10:44Speaker 7: earned the Scudetto, and just obviously the emotion, like just
- 10:49Speaker 7: for that mcconmany goal and final game alone, I think
- 10:52Speaker 7: that feeling of that game is like I don't know
- 10:53Speaker 7: if I ever felt that much door for a game before,
- 10:56Speaker 7: Like just the way it was it kind of reminded
- 10:59Speaker 7: me kind of like the year it was like it
- 11:00Speaker 7: was like a final, right, So I mean, I think
- 11:03Speaker 7: just because of how dramatic you could say it was,
- 11:06Speaker 7: I think this Scudato just feels all that better. And
- 11:10Speaker 7: like last time, the first Skudatto we heard kind of like, oh,
- 11:13Speaker 7: the league was weaker and this and that, like of
- 11:15Speaker 7: course people are gonna make some sort of excuse to
- 11:18Speaker 7: Wopoly won.
- 11:19Speaker 4: But this time here, I mean, it was just like
- 11:21Speaker 4: we felt like we really earned it.
- 11:23Speaker 7: And even seeing for example, it's on the screen the parade,
- 11:26Speaker 7: like last time we didn't have that, Like the first Scudato,
- 11:28Speaker 7: they didn't have a parade for the the for Anopoly.
- 11:31Speaker 7: So seeing all that this time around, I feel like
- 11:35Speaker 7: really makes it feel special. And like watching them on
- 11:37Speaker 7: the parade, I watched the parade on the Monday morning.
- 11:41Speaker 7: I think that just really made this Scurato feel so special.
- 11:45Speaker 3: Uh, Janiette, Sorry, Adri actually wanted to ask you because
- 11:51Speaker 3: obviously we got Steph, we got we got Jenny napolely fans.
- 11:54Speaker 3: You have an uncle was a massive Mornapoly fan. I
- 11:56Speaker 3: don't know if you had to if you had a
- 11:57Speaker 3: chance to talk to him. You're Gio Franco.
- 12:00Speaker 6: Yeah yeah, well even him and then his cousin Cheero.
- 12:04Speaker 6: Uh that that is a cousin of his, uh you
- 12:07Speaker 6: know who who also supports Napoly just sending messages and
- 12:11Speaker 6: just you know, the attachment, the attachment to the club.
- 12:15Speaker 6: And you know, Naples is so special, even if you're
- 12:18Speaker 6: not Nabu Danu and and you go to that city,
- 12:21Speaker 6: I mean you just get you know, sucked into the
- 12:24Speaker 6: to to to the area that is the city and
- 12:28Speaker 6: you know, yeah, just you know, always friendly banter when
- 12:31Speaker 6: you know when you're going, when you went.
- 12:33Speaker 2: Back and forth.
- 12:33Speaker 6: Obviously you support different teams and and you'll always have
- 12:36Speaker 6: to go back and forth.
- 12:37Speaker 2: But but yeah, it just for them just so special.
- 12:41Speaker 6: I mean for the longest time, you know, again looking
- 12:45Speaker 6: from the outsider perspective, and you know Steph and and
- 12:48Speaker 6: even Johnny just mentioned it perfectly. I mean, you know,
- 12:51Speaker 6: finally you know this this quote unquote younger generation of
- 12:54Speaker 6: napoly fans, and Johnny'm gonna throw you in there.
- 12:57Speaker 2: You're the younger generation of Napoli.
- 12:59Speaker 6: Fans, right, you know, finally getting into to witness and
- 13:03Speaker 6: to experience what it's like to win the league. Right,
- 13:07Speaker 6: so you know, people that were you know, born after
- 13:10Speaker 6: nineteen ninety, you know, you finally get that that that
- 13:12Speaker 6: glory and that that celebration. And I think that's what's
- 13:15Speaker 6: most special because the old timers, like granted they haven't
- 13:19Speaker 6: seen it in a long time, but you know they
- 13:21Speaker 6: got to witness you know what two in about you know,
- 13:24Speaker 6: three years as well.
- 13:25Speaker 2: I think it was eighty seven and ninety, right that
- 13:26Speaker 2: the first two.
- 13:27Speaker 6: For for Napoi and it almost feels like it's back
- 13:30Speaker 6: to nineteen ninety right now, right the twenty twenty five
- 13:32Speaker 6: kind of feels similar to that and and how Knapoo
- 13:36Speaker 6: was able to win you know, uh, you know, two
- 13:38Speaker 6: quick ones in a quick succession. So again just as
- 13:42Speaker 6: an outsider, and you know, we all come from the South,
- 13:45Speaker 6: so it's it's it's it's a big joy to see
- 13:48Speaker 6: the when the self wins, right, I think that's that's
- 13:51Speaker 6: something that needs.
- 13:52Speaker 2: To be touched upon.
- 13:53Speaker 6: And listen, like Nicks had to open the show any
- 13:56Speaker 6: any time, it's not a direct rival in this case, inter.
- 14:01Speaker 2: It's a good day for for for a neutral like myself.
- 14:03Speaker 6: So you know when you like I said, when you
- 14:06Speaker 6: go to Naples, like you get you know, into the
- 14:09Speaker 6: aura and I wore this last time we got Karen.
- 14:11Speaker 6: But you know the Mara Dona right T shirt that
- 14:14Speaker 6: you pick up at the Modalist, right, you have to
- 14:17Speaker 6: once you go there, you.
- 14:18Speaker 2: Have to pick up something. So yeah, just just huge,
- 14:23Speaker 2: I think, and we'll touch upon it.
- 14:26Speaker 6: But you know, Steph, you mentioned the mcdonmeny go and
- 14:29Speaker 6: you know, I think that the Mado and I know,
- 14:32Speaker 6: like you said, Karen and sad Eno and our other.
- 14:34Speaker 2: Friends, you know, Vincenzo Rafa, you know, they were there.
- 14:37Speaker 6: But the just from the broadcast, the sound in the
- 14:41Speaker 6: in the in the in the stadium was definitely like
- 14:44Speaker 6: I remember, you know when Mion won the school that
- 14:47Speaker 6: you know, the last match too, you know int was
- 14:49Speaker 6: they were going neck and neck and it was kind
- 14:51Speaker 6: of that same same emotion, but doing it at home,
- 14:55Speaker 6: like in your stadium, I think was ultimately like the biggest,
- 15:00Speaker 6: the biggest I think the biggest joy.
- 15:01Speaker 2: Honestly, what was I guess.
- 15:05Speaker 6: You know, your emotions to the mcdomery goal and just
- 15:09Speaker 6: obviously mcdonmery wins, you know, Setia at MVP after that goal,
- 15:13Speaker 6: I think was the really cherry on top of his season.
- 15:15Speaker 6: But what have you made of obviously his season and
- 15:18Speaker 6: how like what more can you say about the buzz
- 15:21Speaker 6: Scot mcdomminy this season, Finopoly.
- 15:23Speaker 7: Steph isn't unbelievable. He's definitely, you know, he's obviously been
- 15:26Speaker 7: the game changer. And I kind of feel like like
- 15:30Speaker 7: a bit of joy even from the start of the
- 15:32Speaker 7: season because you know when McConney first joining up, but
- 15:34Speaker 7: a lot of people were in a way kind of
- 15:35Speaker 7: calumning it saying, oh he sucks he plays at Manchester United,
- 15:40Speaker 7: you know, and then yeah's a reject. There's a lot
- 15:43Speaker 7: of people saying, oh, he just scores goals and he
- 15:45Speaker 7: hasn't impact the game in another way. And just even
- 15:48Speaker 7: when he first joined the club, the way he embraced
- 15:51Speaker 7: not like there's a video of him with the Mado
- 15:53Speaker 7: Dona statue in the stadium, you know, getting emotional saying
- 15:55Speaker 7: how he'll do he he set himself when he first
- 15:58Speaker 7: joining the club. He said he'll do everything to win
- 16:00Speaker 7: at the club. So when you hear players say that
- 16:03Speaker 7: the start and then at the end of it, he
- 16:06Speaker 7: wins MVP. He scores pretty much like as crazy as
- 16:09Speaker 7: a screwed at the winning goal, you could score a
- 16:12Speaker 7: bisco kick. I mean, it's just it's unreal. And I
- 16:15Speaker 7: just love the way he embraces the city and the
- 16:18Speaker 7: impact he's had throughout the season, Like the amount of times,
- 16:21Speaker 7: like you remove that final game, there was a many
- 16:23Speaker 7: games where you know, he had braces where he scored
- 16:26Speaker 7: big winning goals for Napoti. Like it's just about how
- 16:28Speaker 7: clutch he was throughout the season. But he was also
- 16:30Speaker 7: consistent that whole time, and he's really stepped up big
- 16:34Speaker 7: Like obviously we lost a big player like Cabar in
- 16:36Speaker 7: the middle of the season, and to me, in the
- 16:39Speaker 7: second half is when he really really stepped up because
- 16:41Speaker 7: towards that last six to seven game stretch he scored
- 16:45Speaker 7: so many goals and you just love to see, especially
- 16:47Speaker 7: a player like that who's I kind of like, look
- 16:50Speaker 7: at it, similar to nap Like we see Anopty a
- 16:52Speaker 7: lot of times counted out after the season last year,
- 16:54Speaker 7: mcconmedy when he looked at it, was kind of a
- 16:56Speaker 7: counted up player. A lot of people kind of disrespected him.
- 16:59Speaker 7: So to see him join our club and do as
- 17:02Speaker 7: well as he did is amazing.
- 17:05Speaker 5: I mean even do it on like prem Twitter still
- 17:07Speaker 5: even does it today where it's like they say like, oh,
- 17:10Speaker 5: mcconmmney finally won at his level, and it's like, buddy,
- 17:13Speaker 5: city A has got somebody in the Champions League final,
- 17:15Speaker 5: Like are you serious about like at his level?
- 17:17Speaker 2: You kidding me?
- 17:18Speaker 5: Like it's I have to agree with your statements, Like
- 17:21Speaker 5: he found a home in Napoli and he found a manager,
- 17:26Speaker 5: like especially with Conte, like you can't go wrong with
- 17:28Speaker 5: when to manager like Antonio Conte, who just knows how
- 17:31Speaker 5: to utilize players, and he basically gave McCom and a
- 17:34Speaker 5: new life and showcase like what he can do when
- 17:37Speaker 5: used properly. And it felt it felt nice, like seeing
- 17:43Speaker 5: an offensive contribution and that wasn't going to be primarily
- 17:46Speaker 5: Lukaku because overall that was one of the things that
- 17:48Speaker 5: gave Napoli's success this season, Like it wasn't super dependent
- 17:52Speaker 5: on one player to put the ball in the back
- 17:54Speaker 5: of the net.
- 17:54Speaker 2: I think it was an overall contribution.
- 17:56Speaker 5: Hospadori had some big moments, you know, as you said before,
- 18:00Speaker 5: mcconm and a.
- 18:01Speaker 2: Lukaku himself sports some big bulls. It's it just felt like.
- 18:04Speaker 5: As if everybody kind of Politano there was I know
- 18:07Speaker 5: people give crap to Politano, but Polyitano was actually good
- 18:09Speaker 5: this season. Like it it's it felt nice actually seeing like,
- 18:16Speaker 5: you know, a united effort for the game. And you know,
- 18:21Speaker 5: I just hope that this type of stuff continues because
- 18:24Speaker 5: now you got names like de Bruyn are apparently interested
- 18:26Speaker 5: in Napoli. You got they're looking at Jonathan David potentially.
- 18:30Speaker 5: There's a there was a rumor that came out today
- 18:32Speaker 5: that lukman Is is probably being considered monopoly and.
- 18:35Speaker 7: A well apparently it's pretty heavily linkedopoly as well.
- 18:38Speaker 5: Which you know what I like to hear, because you know,
- 18:42Speaker 5: I looked at it today. Monopoly is seventeen, ranks seventeenth
- 18:46Speaker 5: in terms of value in Europe as of today. In
- 18:48Speaker 5: terms of team value, they're the fourth highest game in Italy.
- 18:51Speaker 5: Obviously speaking, you'll never surpass the Big three and you've
- 18:54Speaker 5: a milan An inter but they're still up there, like
- 18:56Speaker 5: they're not like as if there's a big division, they're.
- 18:58Speaker 2: Up there, you know.
- 18:59Speaker 5: So I like seeing this kind of stuff because it
- 19:02Speaker 5: removes this illusion that Napoli is this quote unquote small club.
- 19:06Speaker 5: It's it's not the napoly of of of yesteryear. You know,
- 19:10Speaker 5: like de Lodentis has come along and stuff and really
- 19:14Speaker 5: established his squad to really be a serious competitor and
- 19:18Speaker 5: you know, try to make them be legitimate in all
- 19:21Speaker 5: the competitions as much as he could. I know that
- 19:24Speaker 5: he's a bit stingy and stuff. Where do you stand
- 19:26Speaker 5: on de Lodentis after all this and now that we
- 19:28Speaker 5: have like we're looking a bit more and more as
- 19:30Speaker 5: is as this time develops with the team, you know, like,
- 19:33Speaker 5: what what is your like before I don't want to
- 19:34Speaker 5: give my opinion to influence yours. I would like to
- 19:36Speaker 5: have you have the floor, like what is your opinion
- 19:39Speaker 5: of what Delodentis has done with his club since since
- 19:41Speaker 5: him buying the team back into two thousands.
- 19:44Speaker 7: So I think obviously, like to me, I was never
- 19:47Speaker 7: post I would say twenty twenty when we won that
- 19:50Speaker 7: first scoodat I wasn't always Delarentis's biggest fan. I understood
- 19:53Speaker 7: like he obviously without him, there's no NAPI saved Monopoly
- 19:57Speaker 7: back then, and I think it was two thousand and four.
- 20:00Speaker 4: He did a lot to kind of get us up
- 20:01Speaker 4: to that point.
- 20:02Speaker 7: What he did was kind of incredible how quickly we
- 20:04Speaker 7: kind of rose into that top four convos. But I
- 20:07Speaker 7: think what really has made Delarentis like huge Ronopolis. I
- 20:14Speaker 7: think he learned from his mistakes, Like in twenty seventeen
- 20:17Speaker 7: to twenty twenty, we saw times where he didn't upgrade
- 20:20Speaker 7: the squad, he didn't spend money. And speaking of Delarentis,
- 20:25Speaker 7: on the IFTV podcast, Ludo was talking about Monopoly and
- 20:30Speaker 7: he actually made a good point that I agree with
- 20:31Speaker 7: a lot and he said that I mun a donut
- 20:33Speaker 7: one napotally the Scudetto in eighty seven and ninety and
- 20:36Speaker 7: in these two years, Delarentis was the MVP and the
- 20:40Speaker 7: reason why we won the Scudetto. And I have to
- 20:41Speaker 7: agree with that, like Delarentis to me was the reason
- 20:44Speaker 7: why we won both the Scudetti. And what he's done
- 20:47Speaker 7: is really like unbelievable because if you look at past times,
- 20:50Speaker 7: the way Delarentis is kind of evolved at owners is huge,
- 20:54Speaker 7: Like he's no longer I no longer even see him
- 20:56Speaker 7: as kind of stingy.
- 20:57Speaker 4: Like we see this summer what he did.
- 20:59Speaker 7: We had a bad season, he went out there, he
- 21:01Speaker 7: got pretty much the best coach around, paid him the
- 21:04Speaker 7: money in the transfer window. He got Bunjorino, he got Lukaph,
- 21:08Speaker 7: he got mcconmany like, he didn't mess around. He put
- 21:11Speaker 7: all the money into the squad. And then now we
- 21:13Speaker 7: see we won the Scudetto and he's right back at
- 21:16Speaker 7: he's looking at Debry and the David. So I think
- 21:18Speaker 7: Delarentis to me is one of the best owners around
- 21:21Speaker 7: when it comes to Knopoli. Obviously never has the biggest,
- 21:25Speaker 7: the most funds to spend comf to the other teams,
- 21:27Speaker 7: but we're always like there, We're always at that level
- 21:30Speaker 7: up there. So I have to give huge shot out
- 21:32Speaker 7: to Delarentis that was never his biggest fan previously in
- 21:36Speaker 7: the past, like a lot of those years we lost.
- 21:38Speaker 7: I kind of put the blame towards him, saying the
- 21:41Speaker 7: common thing that always stingy, he doesn't care about the team,
- 21:44Speaker 7: this and that. But I think my tone is like
- 21:46Speaker 7: completely changed towards that. I admit that I was wrong
- 21:49Speaker 7: about how he was and I think I mean, like
- 21:53Speaker 7: he's really run things perfectly. Like even mid season we
- 21:57Speaker 7: saw we got rid of Kavara and people were saying like, oh, Delarentisis,
- 22:01Speaker 7: it's so stupid for letting go of Kavar and this
- 22:03Speaker 7: and that, and you know, uh we still in the
- 22:06Speaker 7: point in the Scudatto and then just his signs and
- 22:09Speaker 7: everything that really been a master classic. We see even
- 22:11Speaker 7: the first Scudatto, we lose all our so called biggest players.
- 22:15Speaker 7: He signs Kim, all these guys here. So I mean, really,
- 22:18Speaker 7: to me, these two scudatos to Scudatti are hugely on
- 22:23Speaker 7: on delaurent It's like he had such a large impact,
- 22:26Speaker 7: especially given like we didn't spend one hundred million on
- 22:29Speaker 7: one player, was kind of spread around, and he's really
- 22:32Speaker 7: like a master of what he did these past two scudatos.
- 22:36Speaker 2: I have to agree with you there.
- 22:37Speaker 8: I've always been the Dela Rentis fan.
- 22:39Speaker 2: I know that he has.
- 22:40Speaker 5: His history of being stingy, and you know, like sometimes
- 22:44Speaker 5: some deals fall through because of his you know, it's
- 22:48Speaker 5: the right word I'm looking for.
- 22:49Speaker 8: It's not stingy.
- 22:51Speaker 2: His shrewdness, I guess is probably the best.
- 22:54Speaker 5: Uh. I don't think shrewdness is the best word, but
- 22:56Speaker 5: either way, you know, because it costed us opportunity on
- 22:59Speaker 5: some place and stuff, and it just things a bit.
- 23:01Speaker 5: But in the grand scheme of things, you have, like
- 23:04Speaker 5: I have come to trust in the process with Thelarentes,
- 23:07Speaker 5: I always thought it was him and Juntuli that had
- 23:10Speaker 5: like the connections because the Napoli that became competitive today.
- 23:13Speaker 5: I always thought it was them two working together with
- 23:15Speaker 5: Juntule's you know scouting process and like signing process, and
- 23:19Speaker 5: Delarentis is I probably had a good eye for spotting
- 23:22Speaker 5: young talent and developing them, like it started off with
- 23:25Speaker 5: Hamsick and LaVette see then getting Cavani for for the
- 23:28Speaker 5: ten million euros from Palermo, and then it just snowballs
- 23:31Speaker 5: from there. I can go on and on about this
- 23:33Speaker 5: whole little trade tree about quality. I had a lot
- 23:35Speaker 5: starting to Cavani, to Iguay and so on and so forth.
- 23:37Speaker 5: But you know, as we've seen what Juntuli has done
- 23:42Speaker 5: for Juve this year, which I still think it's a
- 23:44Speaker 5: bit too quick for him to let go of him.
- 23:47Speaker 2: Uh.
- 23:48Speaker 5: You know a lot of fans aren't happy with him,
- 23:49Speaker 5: and you know what the what Juventus has done this
- 23:52Speaker 5: season versus like Napoli this year. You know I was
- 23:54Speaker 5: I was kind of nervous. I'm like, okay, what's the
- 23:57Speaker 5: Lorenti is gonna do on his own now?
- 23:58Speaker 2: You know?
- 23:59Speaker 5: And you know, we saw the effort he's willing to,
- 24:01Speaker 5: you know, negotiate with Conte. You know, Knte had you know,
- 24:04Speaker 5: crazy demands. He's like, look, okay, like I understand, let's
- 24:07Speaker 5: talk about this, Let's meet extensively. Let's see you can
- 24:09Speaker 5: find Like the fact that he's trying to find a
- 24:11Speaker 5: serious common ground is nice to see because you said
- 24:14Speaker 5: it best before, like like the past few years, he
- 24:16Speaker 5: has been spending the money so that I would all
- 24:18Speaker 5: see men for ninety million euros and let us to
- 24:22Speaker 5: a squadeto and stuff, and uh it was it didn't
- 24:25Speaker 5: seem like bargain bin huntings. It kind of did at times,
- 24:28Speaker 5: but there was always like you always knew, like if
- 24:30Speaker 5: you've got a guy for like five six million euros,
- 24:31Speaker 5: you're like, Okay, this guy's either gonna be phenomenal or
- 24:34Speaker 5: like something like a joke. And it's just always like
- 24:36Speaker 5: the Zelenski's the Kims and when Kims wins MVP Defender
- 24:39Speaker 5: of the Year, you know, like it's it's stuff like
- 24:41Speaker 5: that where it's like every time he signs the player,
- 24:43Speaker 5: I'm like, let him cook. I'm like, you know what
- 24:46Speaker 5: this player, you know, like, yeah, maybe he might not
- 24:48Speaker 5: be the greatest player, he's just gonna be like amazing
- 24:51Speaker 5: and stuff, but like just or just gonna be good
- 24:52Speaker 5: enough for the team. So my stands of del Lentis
- 24:56Speaker 5: is that as much as he is the way he is,
- 25:01Speaker 5: I call him a cafone many times he is like
- 25:05Speaker 5: he's the reason why Napoli is where they are today,
- 25:09Speaker 5: the reason why they're still going to be successful.
- 25:11Speaker 2: It's like Bert Lusconi back in the day, for Melan.
- 25:14Speaker 5: Like, yes, Berlusconi complete idiot and goofball with the media
- 25:17Speaker 5: and stuff with his bun buna parties and all the controversies.
- 25:20Speaker 5: But during his era, Melan was this phenomenal team that
- 25:23Speaker 5: you know, they wanted to Squidetti. They went to Champions
- 25:25Speaker 5: League finals, winning champions leagues. You know, like like he
- 25:28Speaker 5: knew when to spend the money, he knew when to
- 25:30Speaker 5: to to pour out of his pocket, you know, and
- 25:33Speaker 5: like even though the league was still really strong that year,
- 25:35Speaker 5: that Melan was even stronger than the league. Considering how
- 25:38Speaker 5: strong that league was, like that Melan was miles of
- 25:40Speaker 5: it was the best team in the world at one point,
- 25:42Speaker 5: you know. So like I'm not saying I'm not saying
- 25:45Speaker 5: Delorrentis is bertl Lusconi. But what I'm saying is that
- 25:48Speaker 5: if Dilarentis is gonna have to be our Bett Lusconi too,
- 25:53Speaker 5: and and his and his big stuff is just you know,
- 25:56Speaker 5: talking like an idiot to the media and being brutally
- 25:58Speaker 5: honest with everything.
- 26:00Speaker 2: I'll take it, honestly, I'll take it because he's ready.
- 26:02Speaker 5: He read he like it wasn't as if like he
- 26:05Speaker 5: just came Like there was many years that Nowple could
- 26:07Speaker 5: have won the school Atto and you know they came
- 26:08Speaker 5: up short every single time.
- 26:10Speaker 2: But during his.
- 26:11Speaker 5: Era, you know, there was there was cup bit that
- 26:14Speaker 5: they want, there was there was a super Copa that
- 26:16Speaker 5: they want. You know, there was there was many opportunities
- 26:18Speaker 5: where they finished second in the league and they tried
- 26:19Speaker 5: and they couldn't get over that hump. But you know,
- 26:21Speaker 5: like with the resources that he had, he had to
- 26:23Speaker 5: accumulate it and the fact that they were still competing
- 26:25Speaker 5: for Schoodetto even when he was trying to build up
- 26:28Speaker 5: Napoli to being back into a strong form.
- 26:30Speaker 2: You know, it wasn't an overnight thing.
- 26:31Speaker 5: So now we're starting to see the fruit of his
- 26:33Speaker 5: labor and uh we could see probably an era of
- 26:36Speaker 5: Napoli where they're gonna be constant competitors for this Scudetto,
- 26:39Speaker 5: or you know, we might see a bit of a
- 26:41Speaker 5: recession in the team. But I feel like what he's
- 26:44Speaker 5: done with the city, with the club and everything, he
- 26:47Speaker 5: has built up a massive following and a big passion
- 26:50Speaker 5: for the team that the monopoly of yesteryear where like
- 26:54Speaker 5: where they're gonna be like half worries of bankruptcy or
- 26:56Speaker 5: worries of went back down to city at B I
- 26:58Speaker 5: don't think they're ever gonna reach out point again. I
- 27:01Speaker 5: have a hard time believing that, because you just reignited a.
- 27:04Speaker 8: New generation of love for the team and followers and devotion.
- 27:08Speaker 5: Like I said, there's seventeenth in Europe right now in
- 27:10Speaker 5: terms of team valley, and that's that's that's good.
- 27:12Speaker 8: Comparison to all the leagues in Europe. So that's crazy
- 27:15Speaker 8: high if you think about it.
- 27:16Speaker 5: So I feel like he's he's done a good job
- 27:21Speaker 5: and I'm curious to see where he goes from here.
- 27:24Speaker 8: Hopefully he does spend more money. Hopefully he does sign
- 27:26Speaker 8: those players.
- 27:26Speaker 5: Hopefully does like like not a freight to empty out
- 27:29Speaker 5: his pocket's a bit more to get it, because I
- 27:31Speaker 5: feel like it's all it's gonna come back. It always
- 27:33Speaker 5: comes back eventually, I think, especially if you get some
- 27:35Speaker 5: form of winning tradition going here in one way or another.
- 27:39Speaker 2: It's gonna keep on coming back.
- 27:40Speaker 7: He's also really smart the way he spends his money,
- 27:43Speaker 7: like monopoly, and I think it's den As are the
- 27:45Speaker 7: only teams in the league that are not in any
- 27:46Speaker 7: sort of debt. Like that's what like the big thing
- 27:49Speaker 7: with delarentis is that he managed to win. But he
- 27:51Speaker 7: doesn't take like major risks, like we don't spend crazy
- 27:55Speaker 7: and then selling no one. He does everything very smartly,
- 27:57Speaker 7: where it's like, for example, this year, let's say win
- 28:00Speaker 7: to swood At though it wasn't like we were in
- 28:01Speaker 7: the hole or we took some sort of massive risk
- 28:04Speaker 7: to try and win it. Right, So he's always very
- 28:06Speaker 7: calculated in his moves, Like that's a good thing. Like
- 28:09Speaker 7: even if he won't spend the big one transfer eighty million,
- 28:13Speaker 7: he'll sign a few guys at twenty million. If some
- 28:15Speaker 7: of them work out, then it's fine kind of thing, right,
- 28:17Speaker 7: So I think that's one of the best things.
- 28:19Speaker 4: He doesn't put the team at risk.
- 28:21Speaker 7: And that's why the team has stayed competitive for so
- 28:24Speaker 7: long because outside of two years the past, maybe it's
- 28:27Speaker 7: been eight nine years, we've always made top four and
- 28:30Speaker 7: outside like the Gatuoso year and last year, we were
- 28:33Speaker 7: always like competitive and always in the race.
- 28:38Speaker 3: It's funny you bring up I think with Steph, you
- 28:40Speaker 3: brought up Cavara. You know, I know he technically didn't
- 28:45Speaker 3: win the Scudetta this year, but you know PSG won
- 28:48Speaker 3: the Coup de France this past weekend. He has a
- 28:50Speaker 3: chance to win the Champions League, so he could he
- 28:52Speaker 3: could be at an unofficial tree Pleta winner this year.
- 28:56Speaker 3: But it's crazy, no one, no one's marking down a
- 29:00Speaker 3: SCOO at the winner. But it is it feels like
- 29:02Speaker 3: a lifetime ago. Hey that that transfer. Yes, Like you know,
- 29:06Speaker 3: if if you would have talked in January, you know,
- 29:09Speaker 3: no one would have really said, hey, this Napoli is
- 29:12Speaker 3: gonna win a sco I know, Jenny, we talked, you
- 29:14Speaker 3: know on this podcast at the beginning of season. You
- 29:17Speaker 3: kind of the way they started, you kind of said,
- 29:19Speaker 3: like this is like almost like a mirage. It's not
- 29:22Speaker 3: you know, it's not a legit team. And I feel
- 29:24Speaker 3: like after that that move, that's when they really kicked
- 29:27Speaker 3: into gear. Would you guys agree?
- 29:29Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree for sure.
- 29:30Speaker 7: We had a lot of big wins that kind of
- 29:33Speaker 7: put a statement on that, like the the win against
- 29:35Speaker 7: Juve where they came from behind and the Atlanta game
- 29:39Speaker 7: where they came from behind, where I think those are
- 29:41Speaker 7: the two games that really put us into serious conversations
- 29:45Speaker 7: like coming from behind and obviously with adversity like losing
- 29:48Speaker 7: the Kavara and still managing to beat these big teams
- 29:51Speaker 7: was kind of like a big telling point.
- 29:54Speaker 5: I I'll say it. I don't want about it. To
- 29:58Speaker 5: win Championsleague this year, I don't think deserves it. Uh
- 30:02Speaker 5: Like I always knew that Cavada was never gonna stay
- 30:04Speaker 5: an apotly. I always knew that, But it's more of
- 30:06Speaker 5: a spit in the face when you decide to leave
- 30:10Speaker 5: during the winter transfer in a championship season, you know,
- 30:13Speaker 5: like Knopoli was competing for the Schooldetto around that time,
- 30:17Speaker 5: and it was still like like I was gonna say
- 30:20Speaker 5: it if he would have if not we'd been winning
- 30:22Speaker 5: the school Edo this year, I would have been I
- 30:24Speaker 5: would have easily said one of the factors as to
- 30:26Speaker 5: why they didn't win was because Cavada.
- 30:28Speaker 2: Costed him some crucial points here or there.
- 30:30Speaker 5: He could have been that player that kind of could
- 30:32Speaker 5: have converted a draw into a win, you know, or
- 30:35Speaker 5: make up loss into a draw, because he's that kind
- 30:37Speaker 5: of player.
- 30:37Speaker 2: We saw it in the first.
- 30:38Speaker 5: Season when when he wanted when they wanted to scudetto,
- 30:41Speaker 5: you know, like ha Caveda Skellia was instrumental that season.
- 30:43Speaker 5: Then obviously he got checked very well by the teams
- 30:47Speaker 5: in Italy because managers are smart in Italy, they know
- 30:50Speaker 5: how to do that. He was exposed by Poli in
- 30:53Speaker 5: Champions League and you know, and then ever since from there,
- 30:55Speaker 5: like he wasn't able to adapt and I felt like he.
- 31:00Speaker 2: Wasn't willing to adapt. And I think that's why you
- 31:02Speaker 2: decided to leave.
- 31:03Speaker 5: For greener past years in France, because let's be honest,
- 31:06Speaker 5: you're what kind of management's going to happen in France.
- 31:09Speaker 5: But no, in all seriousness, it just it didn't feel like,
- 31:15Speaker 5: you know, like he was up pretty up for the challenge.
- 31:17Speaker 2: And you know what, hey, if you want to leave,
- 31:20Speaker 2: just leave during the summer. Just leave during the summer.
- 31:23Speaker 5: You're you're twenty three years old, you have your whole
- 31:25Speaker 5: career of twenty two to twenty three. However old he
- 31:27Speaker 5: may be twenty four, he's no older than twenty five. Like,
- 31:31Speaker 5: you have your whole career ahead of you, you have,
- 31:33Speaker 5: you have plenty of opportunities to challenge for the schoodet though,
- 31:36Speaker 5: right like you don't have to leave during the winter now,
- 31:40Speaker 5: mind you.
- 31:41Speaker 2: I mean it gave some finances Tonopoly and that's fine.
- 31:43Speaker 5: And now at the all cemn situation, you know, you
- 31:45Speaker 5: might get more money coming along your way, which might
- 31:47Speaker 5: be very nice, but nonetheless, it's like if you're gonna
- 31:51Speaker 5: do a situation like aci, men, just do it and
- 31:53Speaker 5: like at the start so that we know ahead of time,
- 31:55Speaker 5: like what's gonna look like this season or not, But
- 31:57Speaker 5: do in the middle of winter where you have you know,
- 31:59Speaker 5: the Leventis ambling to try to find a replacement and
- 32:01Speaker 5: you don't find Like I'm not saying it was it
- 32:03Speaker 5: was nett As they picked up for it. No was it?
- 32:06Speaker 4: No we end again? No we got before.
- 32:11Speaker 2: Yeah, that's sorry, I don't remember bring misticky Netas.
- 32:15Speaker 5: Yeah, I know, like you get like you scrambled to
- 32:17Speaker 5: try to find a replacement and you don't and it's like,
- 32:20Speaker 5: you know, fans are getting pissed off about it, but
- 32:21Speaker 5: it's like, what do you want de la Entis to do?
- 32:23Speaker 2: This came out of nowhere?
- 32:24Speaker 7: You know, Like teams are also overcharging because they knew
- 32:27Speaker 7: we lost Kvarmer scrambling.
- 32:29Speaker 4: And you are.
- 32:30Speaker 7: A natural thing that they were asking for like eighty
- 32:32Speaker 7: million apparently.
- 32:33Speaker 4: So it's like.
- 32:35Speaker 2: That's that's and that's that that ties into what you
- 32:38Speaker 2: said before. The Leentus is smart with his money. He's
- 32:40Speaker 2: not an idiot like he's They would have been stupid
- 32:41Speaker 2: to bite on that, to be honest.
- 32:43Speaker 5: Yeah, sure, so nonetheless, you know, like that's why it's like,
- 32:47Speaker 5: you know, Cavadaskelia might actually be the like I think
- 32:50Speaker 5: he's the first player to win the league too.
- 32:51Speaker 2: What was it?
- 32:52Speaker 5: Something crazy like two different leagues in the same season,
- 32:55Speaker 5: something weird like that.
- 32:56Speaker 2: But yeah, at the end of the day, man like, like,
- 33:00Speaker 2: I don't hate the guy.
- 33:00Speaker 5: It's not like a Heguwayin situation where you go for
- 33:02Speaker 5: Juventus right just to just to get easy league titles
- 33:05Speaker 5: during that era.
- 33:06Speaker 8: But it's more like, you know, still, let's you don't
- 33:10Speaker 8: do that.
- 33:10Speaker 5: You don't do that, And I really like, I know
- 33:13Speaker 5: you guys as a as a Milanise Study and Uventino
- 33:15Speaker 5: are gonna be like, yeah, we don't want into it.
- 33:17Speaker 5: I understand that, but I really don't want it. Skellia
- 33:20Speaker 5: to win some Saturday because the buddy afterwards like, yeah, no, buddy,
- 33:25Speaker 5: if you win, go ahead, have fun with it.
- 33:26Speaker 2: You know this just this season.
- 33:28Speaker 5: You don't deserve it, and afterwards like yeah, I know
- 33:30Speaker 5: at one point he's gonna end up in real Madrid
- 33:32Speaker 5: and Realities is his dream club, so we're gonna see
- 33:35Speaker 5: that happen one day.
- 33:35Speaker 4: But still it's.
- 33:37Speaker 2: You know, don't send him a medal the mail, Please
- 33:40Speaker 2: don't again. He's wrong. Every year we pull them off at.
- 33:44Speaker 4: The end of the year on the Boers, I'm always the.
- 33:47Speaker 2: One that gets them all wrong.
- 33:48Speaker 6: So I said, fuck it this year, I'm just gonna
- 33:51Speaker 6: go most of the walls.
- 33:52Speaker 2: You're gonna be blessed boring.
- 33:53Speaker 6: These two guys picked in there, which are the obvious favorites.
- 33:57Speaker 6: I'm gonna pick Napoli for for bas me more two
- 34:01Speaker 6: things Antonio Conte and one competition.
- 34:06Speaker 3: Adri, you nailed it perfectly August thirteenth, twenty twenty four
- 34:11Speaker 3: that I just wanted to play that clip. Obviously we
- 34:14Speaker 3: do our you know, season predictions at being the at
- 34:17Speaker 3: the beginning of each season. I don't think I even
- 34:19Speaker 3: had my monopoly in my top four. Both me and
- 34:22Speaker 3: Johnny predicted inter As or Scudental winners. But you know,
- 34:27Speaker 3: Adri said it perfectly one season and Antonio Conte, steph.
- 34:31Speaker 3: I know, hindsight is twenty twenty and everything, but realistically speaking,
- 34:36Speaker 3: if you go back to August, do you remember what
- 34:38Speaker 3: your realistic expectations were for the season.
- 34:42Speaker 7: Yeah, well, on my prediction, I actually had Monopoly winning
- 34:44Speaker 7: as well, Like I made a prediction with a bunch
- 34:46Speaker 7: of friends and I had them, But realistically I thought
- 34:50Speaker 7: it was gonna be something like this just because of Conte.
- 34:53Speaker 7: I'm a huge Conte guy, even before he was at Monopoly, Like,
- 34:56Speaker 7: even if he was on Interro, I always thought, like
- 34:58Speaker 7: when it comes to the league and we saw the season, like,
- 35:01Speaker 7: he's just.
- 35:02Speaker 4: Literally, in my opinion, one of the best.
- 35:04Speaker 7: Like when it comes to purely league, we know in
- 35:07Speaker 7: Europe he's not the best, but purely league he's he's
- 35:10Speaker 7: unbelievable what he could do, Like even this season all
- 35:13Speaker 7: adversity face and we still want so. But yeah, I mean,
- 35:16Speaker 7: like realistically, heading into the season without that prediction, I
- 35:20Speaker 7: knew obviously would get tough four with a coach like Conte,
- 35:23Speaker 7: but I definitely I didn't think, like I didn't know
- 35:26Speaker 7: if I didn't think we we could beat Enter in
- 35:29Speaker 7: such a close race like this. To be honest, with
- 35:31Speaker 7: the players we have on our team, I didn't know
- 35:33Speaker 7: if they had that in them to win such a
- 35:35Speaker 7: close league title the way we did.
- 35:38Speaker 6: No, I agree and I think, like for for one,
- 35:41Speaker 6: like thank god, you know, finally I make a right prediction.
- 35:44Speaker 2: But you know, Antonio Conte, he's he said it in himself.
- 35:49Speaker 6: You know, he's a serial winner, right and when it
- 35:51Speaker 6: comes like you said, Steph, when it comes to the
- 35:53Speaker 6: league and just the league, it's on his own.
- 35:56Speaker 2: He's almost unbeatable, right.
- 35:58Speaker 6: So I don't want to say it was a no brainer,
- 36:01Speaker 6: but I just I think people had to put you know,
- 36:06Speaker 6: emphasis on him joining Napoli and him getting you know,
- 36:11Speaker 6: not all his players that maybe he wanted, but you know,
- 36:15Speaker 6: one competition, like I had mentioned back in August, him
- 36:17Speaker 6: coming in and I think also bringing in Lukaku for me,
- 36:21Speaker 6: you know, they've been like bread and butter working together,
- 36:23Speaker 6: you know since you know, from I think.
- 36:26Speaker 2: At Chelsea and obviously in there and now at Napoli.
- 36:29Speaker 6: I mean, you know, for a player that has kind
- 36:32Speaker 6: of bounced around and again love him or aid him,
- 36:35Speaker 6: that that's that's up for discussion.
- 36:36Speaker 2: But I think he put in what fourteen goals, ten
- 36:39Speaker 2: assists this season, right.
- 36:41Speaker 6: You know, in Sadiya, So it's you know, it's still
- 36:46Speaker 6: a pretty good season for him, I think, And you know,
- 36:50Speaker 6: Antonio Conte is just you know, the master of this
- 36:53Speaker 6: and the one competition and like you know, playing basically
- 36:56Speaker 6: once a week is I think was the biggest thing,
- 37:00Speaker 6: just because you know, it gives Conte you know, time
- 37:04Speaker 6: to just focus on the task at hand, and that's
- 37:07Speaker 6: winning the school that though, and he forget like whatever,
- 37:10Speaker 6: he's a winner, that that's fine.
- 37:11Speaker 2: But now he was able to focus on just.
- 37:13Speaker 6: The school that though, and and just trying to bring back,
- 37:16Speaker 6: you know, the trophy to Naples.
- 37:18Speaker 2: So I think that was huge. Honestly, I think that
- 37:20Speaker 2: was huge.
- 37:21Speaker 6: And again we'll see what happens, you know post you know,
- 37:26Speaker 6: this summer and everything. And I know there's rumors every
- 37:29Speaker 6: day and every hour, every minute, Conte staying, Conte going,
- 37:33Speaker 6: Conte staying content going, So it seems like they're trying
- 37:36Speaker 6: to make a strong case for him to stay. In
- 37:39Speaker 6: my opinion, I think that would that would be like
- 37:41Speaker 6: the smart the smart move at least another year. Again,
- 37:45Speaker 6: I don't know what it's going to look like their
- 37:46Speaker 6: squad come, you know, to start of next season. I
- 37:50Speaker 6: would expect, you know, some some changes for sure. I
- 37:54Speaker 6: don't think it's you know, the squad is good, but
- 37:56Speaker 6: don't I still don't think it's obviously a perfect squad, right,
- 37:59Speaker 6: there's obviously host to still fix and you.
- 38:02Speaker 2: Know we touched up, we touched upon it on the show.
- 38:04Speaker 6: You know in previous times, you know, the back line,
- 38:07Speaker 6: even though they were hell of a back line, this season,
- 38:09Speaker 6: they really worked well together. I think there's pieces that
- 38:11Speaker 6: could be added there. Obviously in the midfield, and what
- 38:14Speaker 6: happens in the attack, Like is Lukaku somebody that's going
- 38:17Speaker 6: to be staying. What's happening with osc man, like you're
- 38:20Speaker 6: going to get the funds for him? So I think
- 38:21Speaker 6: there's a lot of moving parts. And you know, that
- 38:24Speaker 6: synergy that many people probably didn't think was going to be,
- 38:28Speaker 6: you know, on the same page between Quante and Deal,
- 38:31Speaker 6: arentis because there are two unique characters. I don't think
- 38:34Speaker 6: many people expect that, like I said, that synergy to
- 38:36Speaker 6: to kind of be at the same level and on
- 38:39Speaker 6: the same page. And again, so far, it's been so
- 38:42Speaker 6: good winning the school Detto's obviously you know the cherry
- 38:45Speaker 6: on top.
- 38:45Speaker 2: But even just how I heard, you know, dealent to speak.
- 38:49Speaker 6: About Quante, you know, really praising him, And again I
- 38:53Speaker 6: don't know if it's all all for.
- 38:54Speaker 2: The cameras or or or whatnot.
- 38:55Speaker 6: But you know, I think there's I think there's some
- 38:59Speaker 6: there's some you know, truth behind what he's what he's
- 39:02Speaker 6: saying and what he's trying to portray towards Conte.
- 39:04Speaker 2: And you know, really I think Conte, you know, has.
- 39:07Speaker 6: Seen obviously he's a Juventino, a hart and we all
- 39:09Speaker 6: know that, but he's really fallen in love with the
- 39:11Speaker 6: city as well, right like you mentioned mctominy before, Steph
- 39:14Speaker 6: and how he really you know, fights for the city
- 39:16Speaker 6: and it seems like Conte has been doing the same.
- 39:19Speaker 6: We know Conte's history with clubs, Yeah, he doesn't stay
- 39:22Speaker 6: past a certain amount of seasons, maybe that two three mark.
- 39:27Speaker 6: And you know we know his we know his antics
- 39:29Speaker 6: and and and things like that.
- 39:30Speaker 2: But I think you guys.
- 39:31Speaker 6: Should just soak in the moment, I mean, and right
- 39:34Speaker 6: this way for as long as it as long as
- 39:35Speaker 6: it you know, you're able to so listen again, happy
- 39:40Speaker 6: for Napoly. I know many people are saying, you know,
- 39:43Speaker 6: screw that. You know you don't want the Napoli to win.
- 39:45Speaker 6: Like I'm not going to be a hater.
- 39:47Speaker 2: I like to see them win.
- 39:48Speaker 6: And it's it's it's a good it's a good feeling
- 39:52Speaker 6: that it's it's something new, right, it's you know, two
- 39:55Speaker 6: years ago was was a shock, I think for for
- 39:57Speaker 6: a lot of people, and I think the most impressive
- 40:00Speaker 6: thing and kind of just bouncing off to the points
- 40:02Speaker 6: that you guys were making before, you know about the
- 40:03Speaker 6: Orentice and and and his impact on the Scudetti that
- 40:06Speaker 6: you know, in quick succession. I think it was just
- 40:09Speaker 6: most impressive that you've guys been able to do it
- 40:11Speaker 6: with essentially like two different squads. Like it wasn't like that,
- 40:16Speaker 6: you guys, Yeah, Okay, there were some core players that
- 40:19Speaker 6: were still still stuck along for for both Scudetti, but
- 40:22Speaker 6: it was pretty much a changed roster and a different
- 40:26Speaker 6: coach for for both of them. So for that, you know,
- 40:28Speaker 6: I think people have to respect that, and you know,
- 40:33Speaker 6: it's it's it's something to look at because it's easy,
- 40:37Speaker 6: well easy, it's easier, I would think, and I would
- 40:40Speaker 6: say to to kind of get onto a role and
- 40:42Speaker 6: kind of have that same core players and you're just
- 40:44Speaker 6: always dominating the league and just dominating you know, your competition,
- 40:48Speaker 6: but to be flexible and selling off your your you know,
- 40:52Speaker 6: best players basically you know, you get rid of three
- 40:55Speaker 6: of your well even four if you I guess you
- 40:58Speaker 6: put in uh, you know, Zelensky in there. But I
- 40:59Speaker 6: was to say, Keem Oustiman and Kavar Scalia that where
- 41:03Speaker 6: three of your biggest pillars back in twenty three don't
- 41:07Speaker 6: have them for okay, well you have for half a
- 41:09Speaker 6: season and then you don't have the other two for
- 41:12Speaker 6: for any of the season, and you.
- 41:13Speaker 2: Guys were able to to to get back to winning ways.
- 41:15Speaker 7: So I can say that time as well, the same
- 41:18Speaker 7: thing when we lost in sign Mertons and Kuli Ballei,
- 41:21Speaker 7: and it's like it's like instant impact, like he makes
- 41:24Speaker 7: those signings and the same season they win, and then
- 41:26Speaker 7: we see this time around sim mcconmley Been Jordan and Lukachlan.
- 41:30Speaker 7: It's like instant success, which is pretty crazy.
- 41:33Speaker 6: No, it is and and and it's and it's something
- 41:35Speaker 6: to to to definitely look at because you know, there's
- 41:38Speaker 6: not many there's not many, you know, teams that can
- 41:41Speaker 6: really say that that they're able to go through. Basically,
- 41:44Speaker 6: I don't want to say two different cycles because it's
- 41:46Speaker 6: it's so close in in in succession of years, but
- 41:49Speaker 6: almost I would say like different cores besides like the
- 41:53Speaker 6: you know, the medics, the Diorenzos, you know, the the Labodkas.
- 41:57Speaker 2: And Lisas you know of the world.
- 41:59Speaker 6: But other than that, you know, you're you're, like I said,
- 42:02Speaker 6: your biggest pillars were gone and you guys were able
- 42:04Speaker 6: to replace them quickly and and able to get back
- 42:07Speaker 6: to glory. So again that I think has to uh,
- 42:10Speaker 6: you know, take your head off to that. And yeah, listen,
- 42:14Speaker 6: I'm curious to see what you know, this summer brings
- 42:17Speaker 6: for for the Medkato and then what next season brings,
- 42:19Speaker 6: because look, guys, me and Nick were together and and
- 42:23Speaker 6: liter literally I'm pretty sure that they We were at
- 42:25Speaker 6: Cafee Italia and that three Niero loss to Hellas Verdona
- 42:28Speaker 6: match day one right for Napoli, and.
- 42:31Speaker 2: Everybody was all the news.
- 42:33Speaker 6: Everybody was going crazy, all Conte already failure, blah blah blah,
- 42:37Speaker 6: like they're gonna they're not Knapolis back to square one.
- 42:41Speaker 6: And now we're talking it's May twenty eighth, and you
- 42:44Speaker 6: know there there's Scudeto champions you know, five days ago, right,
- 42:46Speaker 6: So it just it's been held an up and down
- 42:50Speaker 6: season for Napoli, and I think they should.
- 42:51Speaker 2: Obviously, you guys.
- 42:51Speaker 6: Should be proud of of of what you're able to
- 42:53Speaker 6: accomplish and not fighting against a week SETI either. I
- 42:58Speaker 6: think is something to also mentioned in There is the
- 43:02Speaker 6: inter and we we know that. And again as much
- 43:05Speaker 6: as we don't we disliked them on the on this show,
- 43:07Speaker 6: you have to face the facts and being one of
- 43:09Speaker 6: the best teams in Italy and just having the squad
- 43:13Speaker 6: that they have is incredible, but you know, not was
- 43:16Speaker 6: up for the task.
- 43:17Speaker 2: And they were able to to to.
- 43:19Speaker 6: Take a potential trouble winning season for Inter and and
- 43:24Speaker 6: and cut that down to maybe one trophy at the
- 43:27Speaker 6: end of the year with the Champions League.
- 43:29Speaker 2: So uh, something to be proud of.
- 43:30Speaker 6: And I think a lot like you said, goes on
- 43:33Speaker 6: the Odentis, but Conte, like I said back in August,
- 43:37Speaker 6: is was a was a big factor in the Schoodeto
- 43:39Speaker 6: as well.
- 43:40Speaker 5: If you would have told me eight years ago that
- 43:43Speaker 5: a LACKMANI will be a two time school Detto winner
- 43:47Speaker 5: and not pullly Bally, I would have laughed in your face.
- 43:49Speaker 2: And there's no fucking way you would have said money.
- 43:53Speaker 5: No, I knew who he was because he was the
- 43:55Speaker 5: fucking four string one. Zus has got to Scudetti. I
- 43:59Speaker 5: have seen play at Roma and I've seen him play
- 44:01Speaker 5: Anapoly and I remember calling it on this show this
- 44:04Speaker 5: is a lateral move at best.
- 44:07Speaker 2: What the fuck?
- 44:08Speaker 4: Like it just does.
- 44:10Speaker 5: Now he's got to Scudetti. Like I just I can't.
- 44:12Speaker 5: I can't believe it. Like it just it irks me
- 44:14Speaker 5: in a way, you know, Like it's just like because
- 44:16Speaker 5: you've seen the Kouli Bali, you know, you've seen you've
- 44:18Speaker 5: seen good center back school through the team, Like I
- 44:22Speaker 5: thought was great far was was solid during the first
- 44:28Speaker 5: run at a monopoly, you know, like you know, we've
- 44:30Speaker 5: had good center backs throughout the years and and that
- 44:33Speaker 5: definitely deserve to like be up there and in the wind.
- 44:37Speaker 5: That's not to mention, you know, the other bandette that
- 44:39Speaker 5: we had like Insigne and Mertons and stuff. You know,
- 44:42Speaker 5: Like it just it sucks that, Like you look at
- 44:45Speaker 5: this roster and you see players that are winning the
- 44:47Speaker 5: Scudetto and you're like, that's the best.
- 44:50Speaker 2: Reaction I can give.
- 44:52Speaker 5: It's just the big drawn out side, you know, he
- 44:54Speaker 5: just elevates everyone. That's yeah, But I am happy to
- 44:57Speaker 5: see Spinatzolah. You know, when when the school ato monopoly.
- 45:02Speaker 5: He tried, he couldn't do it at Roma, but he
- 45:04Speaker 5: won the Conference League. Now Spinazzola has a euro Cup,
- 45:07Speaker 5: a Conference League title, and a school thatto to his name,
- 45:10Speaker 5: and I think we should put some respect on Leonard
- 45:14Speaker 5: I think supposed to.
- 45:15Speaker 2: Wasn't he also wasn't he on the team?
- 45:18Speaker 7: Yeah?
- 45:18Speaker 3: He wanted school thatto with you in nineteen I think
- 45:22Speaker 3: only the.
- 45:22Speaker 2: One now that doesn't matter. Anybody goes to school.
- 45:28Speaker 3: Totally Benedict, how it is Benedict, how it is one
- 45:32Speaker 3: of school thatto with you?
- 45:33Speaker 2: Oh my god? Who's the backup keeper? Has like five
- 45:35Speaker 2: school that? What's his name there? Zolo?
- 45:39Speaker 4: Yeah?
- 45:39Speaker 3: This crazy Steph. I know you mentioned you had to
- 45:43Speaker 3: go shift, you have.
- 45:43Speaker 4: To go I'm all actually good now.
- 45:46Speaker 3: Okay, okay, but no, Jenny, I just want to say,
- 45:49Speaker 3: if eight years ago you knew who rock Many was,
- 45:52Speaker 3: I would have said your ball knowledge was insane because
- 45:54Speaker 3: you it just signed for Dimo Zagreb and went on
- 45:56Speaker 3: moaning too local motiva Zagreb. So okay, then has been eight.
- 46:00Speaker 2: Years ago that they got him was probably what years ago?
- 46:03Speaker 3: He's saying twenty twenty, a season after a season with
- 46:06Speaker 3: Hell's Verona. I remember him with Hellas in six years ago.
- 46:10Speaker 6: It was him and on that on that Verona team
- 46:13Speaker 6: that they were like the two biggest names.
- 46:15Speaker 4: Yeah every time. Yeah, I would always have a number
- 46:20Speaker 4: either way.
- 46:21Speaker 2: Either way you understand the point.
- 46:23Speaker 6: Of it's crazy a guy like him being two times
- 46:26Speaker 6: FETI champion and then there's guys that you know, just
- 46:29Speaker 6: haven't touched over where it's it's it's pretty crazy. But
- 46:32Speaker 6: one thing I gotta say that I've been loving and
- 46:35Speaker 6: obviously the mcfrat name and and everything and that whole
- 46:39Speaker 6: now brand. They're they're trying to really hold on to
- 46:42Speaker 6: that brand right in Naples for for for making you know,
- 46:46Speaker 6: shirts or things with that mcflat mc.
- 46:50Speaker 2: Name.
- 46:50Speaker 5: But do you guys know how like that nickname started,
- 46:52Speaker 5: not that not from Azaki but not from Ezaki, but the.
- 46:55Speaker 2: Meme behind it.
- 46:56Speaker 8: Do you guys know the the mcflatma name.
- 46:59Speaker 3: I mean, did you Jenny, No, no, no, no, no.
- 47:01Speaker 2: I think I might have seen it.
- 47:02Speaker 5: There's a viral clip where this guy goes to McDonald's
- 47:05Speaker 5: drive through Anapoli and he wants to order mcflurry.
- 47:08Speaker 2: Oh yeah, sent the royal mc sneakers.
- 47:16Speaker 6: Classic Classic. But you know what I've just loved. I've
- 47:19Speaker 6: loved that relationship. Again, it's so random, like that relationship
- 47:23Speaker 6: with mcdommeny and Mazaki. It's it's just so funny and
- 47:28Speaker 6: so unique, like they just feed off of each other
- 47:31Speaker 6: hilariously to me, Like it's just like one guy barely
- 47:34Speaker 6: speaks English, uh, and you know mcdonmmany, you know, says
- 47:39Speaker 6: mama Mia every second word, right, and it got so
- 47:41Speaker 6: high and stuff like that, and and mcflatam and that's
- 47:44Speaker 6: all he really says.
- 47:45Speaker 2: But it's just amazing like that that synergy that they
- 47:48Speaker 2: have together. It's it's it's really it's really cool.
- 47:50Speaker 6: And they even interviewed them on the on the on
- 47:52Speaker 6: the parade, on the on the bus parade and they're like,
- 47:55Speaker 6: how do you how do you communicate and then they
- 47:58Speaker 6: were kind of trying to explain how they communicate it is.
- 48:00Speaker 2: It just been incredible, uh, to see that that little
- 48:03Speaker 2: partnership going.
- 48:04Speaker 6: And you know, Steph, I want to bring it back
- 48:08Speaker 6: to to to the season as a whole obviously besides
- 48:12Speaker 6: mctaminey and you mentioned, you know, the orientis and I
- 48:16Speaker 6: kind of jumped in there with Conte who has been
- 48:18Speaker 6: other players or you know, that has really stepped up
- 48:21Speaker 6: this season for you, and and and maybe that's somebody
- 48:24Speaker 6: wasn't wasn't really like rating too highly and that that
- 48:27Speaker 6: you kind of saw that that really took this season
- 48:30Speaker 6: by storm.
- 48:30Speaker 7: Fornopot speaking of Rock Money, to me, he was actually
- 48:35Speaker 7: one of the most one of our most important and
- 48:38Speaker 7: one of like the most I would say underrated players
- 48:40Speaker 7: during the season because like Ben Jordino had massive injury
- 48:44Speaker 7: problems in the second half of the season, and our
- 48:47Speaker 7: defense literally didn't wasn't affected by like our defensive records
- 48:52Speaker 7: stayed the same.
- 48:53Speaker 4: And I actually saw a stat the other day that.
- 48:55Speaker 7: Rock Money played every single minute in the study at
- 48:57Speaker 7: season besides like thirteen minutes or something versus Venetzia.
- 49:01Speaker 4: So he was he literally.
- 49:02Speaker 7: Played every single game, and he was just such a
- 49:05Speaker 7: huge role, like no matter who he's with, like he
- 49:07Speaker 7: was beside Bonnie Zeus, he still played well like and
- 49:10Speaker 7: I think he was really that big player and another
- 49:12Speaker 7: player I kind of always no, I wouldn't say hate
- 49:15Speaker 7: it on, but every single year I say, oh, we
- 49:16Speaker 7: need a new goalie, marit isn't good enough. And this
- 49:19Speaker 7: season to me, was by far Medet's biggest season, like
- 49:23Speaker 7: he definitely he had his typical not as many this year.
- 49:26Speaker 4: He had one or two.
- 49:27Speaker 7: Mistakes where it's like he should be saving that, but
- 49:30Speaker 7: there was also a lot of games where he really
- 49:32Speaker 7: stepped up, stepped up big and saved us. Like throughout
- 49:35Speaker 7: the season, the amount of times he came up big
- 49:37Speaker 7: in games was was huge and like every season, a
- 49:41Speaker 7: lot of NOPO defans have created complained about Medet and
- 49:45Speaker 7: obviously the scudetto year, like you're like, we were dominating
- 49:48Speaker 7: a lot of games, so you don't see as much,
- 49:50Speaker 7: but just because we won so many games by you know,
- 49:52Speaker 7: like one nil with Conte, Like those big saves he
- 49:55Speaker 7: made were really were really the difference. Like we saw
- 49:58Speaker 7: him save two three penalties this year. He was really
- 50:01Speaker 7: a player, you know, who stepped up. And it's good
- 50:03Speaker 7: for him because he was kind of always a bit
- 50:06Speaker 7: like people kind of drag on his name a lot
- 50:08Speaker 7: of times, notply fans and even his his wife posted
- 50:13Speaker 7: something when they won the scow Att though, basically saying
- 50:15Speaker 7: like oh, like we're all the people who who like
- 50:17Speaker 7: kind of always talked bad about him at the end
- 50:19Speaker 7: of the season, right, so you know, I think that
- 50:22Speaker 7: was definitely a big player who was kind of underrated.
- 50:26Speaker 7: But I think, I mean, I think it was really
- 50:28Speaker 7: a collective effort, like you said, like Lukak who scored
- 50:31Speaker 7: he had twenty three ga I forget who said it,
- 50:33Speaker 7: but kind of everyone stepped up big and different points
- 50:36Speaker 7: of the season. Like it's funny even seeing like someone
- 50:38Speaker 7: like a Billing, Like when we signed Billing, you're like,
- 50:41Speaker 7: who's Billing.
- 50:42Speaker 4: I remember the inter game We're at the club.
- 50:45Speaker 7: I forgot who said it, and Billing came on and
- 50:48Speaker 7: they said and they said, who is this guy right
- 50:51Speaker 7: coming on the field, And then he had a point.
- 50:54Speaker 4: Yeah, he saved us the point.
- 50:55Speaker 7: And when you look at it, I mean like without
- 50:57Speaker 7: that goal, we don't win the screw at though, So
- 50:59Speaker 7: I mean kind of all big players stepping up, even
- 51:02Speaker 7: like a Raspador. We were supposed to sell him in January.
- 51:05Speaker 7: There was those links with Juve and in the second
- 51:07Speaker 7: half of the season he kind of goes a little
- 51:09Speaker 7: bit on a tear and we lose Kavara. He's playing
- 51:12Speaker 7: not in his position, he's playing on the wing, and
- 51:14Speaker 7: he scored so many big goals. The game winner versus Quarentina,
- 51:17Speaker 7: he scored versus Juve, like he was a really big player,
- 51:21Speaker 7: Like he's just clutched, like I don't know what it is,
- 51:23Speaker 7: like you could have a bad season. He kind of
- 51:25Speaker 7: just pops up and scores those clutch goals. But obviously
- 51:29Speaker 7: was a group effort. But those were kind of the
- 51:31Speaker 7: players that really stood out to me.
- 51:34Speaker 5: I think you also need to just give a quick sorry, Nick,
- 51:36Speaker 5: sorry for interacting quickly.
- 51:38Speaker 2: I think also we need to.
- 51:39Speaker 5: Point out the fact of what with de Lorenzo has
- 51:42Speaker 5: done since you know, the start of the season. You
- 51:44Speaker 5: know that this summer, you know, with the whole fact
- 51:47Speaker 5: of like him, you know, teasing the club at potentially
- 51:50Speaker 5: signing with you because the frustrations at the club, like
- 51:53Speaker 5: because of the whole management situation, and then delorrents, you know,
- 51:57Speaker 5: I speaking of you know, Delente's being the guy that
- 52:00Speaker 5: he is delivering and getting Guyl like content and content
- 52:02Speaker 5: manager given Lonzo to stay. Like we saw the Lorenzo
- 52:06Speaker 5: have a hard time last summer in the euro Cup,
- 52:08Speaker 5: you know, like he wasn't himself, He wasn't playing like himself.
- 52:11Speaker 5: Started the season him too, he was still like a
- 52:13Speaker 5: bit off. He's not obviously like this amazing amazing right back.
- 52:20Speaker 5: But I still think that this year he basically showed
- 52:25Speaker 5: the maturity that he has in himself as a player,
- 52:28Speaker 5: and like his ability as a captain to kind of
- 52:31Speaker 5: turn a negative into a positive. Yes, he could have
- 52:34Speaker 5: been a player that just didn't that could have ignored
- 52:38Speaker 5: what the negativity that he had at the beginning of
- 52:40Speaker 5: the season.
- 52:41Speaker 8: And you know, think that he's at at this certain level.
- 52:44Speaker 5: But you know, he took the humility, he hit the bullet,
- 52:49Speaker 5: and he delivered for the team. And I feel like
- 52:52Speaker 5: he deserves like obviously shouts this year too, for for
- 52:57Speaker 5: no like taking upon himself as a captain to help
- 52:59Speaker 5: lead the squad to another school that though, because you know,
- 53:03Speaker 5: anybody else could have just easily said, you know what,
- 53:05Speaker 5: fuck this and just leave, but he didn't. You know,
- 53:10Speaker 5: he's like, you know what, fine, maybe I was a
- 53:12Speaker 5: bit too hard headed, Let's see what you can do.
- 53:14Speaker 5: And and you know what, he good for him for
- 53:17Speaker 5: being a man and like, you know, admitting it, you
- 53:20Speaker 5: know what I'm saying, Like he's not like I don't
- 53:22Speaker 5: know how to explain it.
- 53:22Speaker 2: Like you know, like there's some people with.
- 53:24Speaker 5: Like they don't like to admit when they when they
- 53:25Speaker 5: were wrong. You know, he's not one of those, and
- 53:29Speaker 5: I had chills maturity and uh, I just hope that
- 53:32Speaker 5: this gives him a good push come the World Cup
- 53:34Speaker 5: qualifiers coming up for the team, because you know, the
- 53:39Speaker 5: right back depth chart isn't the greatest for Italy, so
- 53:42Speaker 5: if we need you know, if especially I don't know
- 53:45Speaker 5: what system spelet he wants to is gonna want to
- 53:47Speaker 5: use going forward, but you know we need him to
- 53:50Speaker 5: no matter what time, he's being called upon to be
- 53:53Speaker 5: a solid player and not be like the player that
- 53:54Speaker 5: he was last summer. So I hope this is the
- 53:57Speaker 5: start of a I hope this is a fresh start
- 53:59Speaker 5: for him. Uh.
- 54:02Speaker 3: Guys, I wanted to talk about so you know, you
- 54:04Speaker 3: talked about uh Regmini Steph. You said he's an important
- 54:08Speaker 3: player Fornopoly. But Sidya came up, came out with the
- 54:12Speaker 3: Player of the Year awards, and obviously mcdommin ay won
- 54:15Speaker 3: the m v P. I guess you could take no
- 54:18Speaker 3: surprise there. You know, even as I was watching the
- 54:20Speaker 3: game on Friday after he scored, I was like, this
- 54:22Speaker 3: guy has to win m v P and I'm surprised. Honestly,
- 54:24Speaker 3: I was a bit surprised. Toy released it pretty much
- 54:27Speaker 3: right after the game, right in the middle of the celebrations.
- 54:29Speaker 3: This that has a bit weird timing scripted. Uh So
- 54:35Speaker 3: mccalmene the m v P Melee Spielar, Uh will keep
- 54:40Speaker 3: your best your best penty won back back for him? Uh,
- 54:44Speaker 3: Johnny Reindeer's best mid h. Obviously we know how it works.
- 54:49Speaker 3: You know, the m v P doesn't necessarily get the
- 54:52Speaker 3: best award in his position. Yeah, and then Ray Tegee,
- 54:56Speaker 3: uh best forward and best under twenty three Nico Paz.
- 55:00Speaker 3: But this best under twenty three award doesn't bring a
- 55:02Speaker 3: lot of good luck past winners er Joli Osi Man
- 55:08Speaker 3: lose a name, we haven't heard it a long time,
- 55:11Speaker 3: and who's been in him the headlines this week. So
- 55:19Speaker 3: I want your guys thoughts on these words. Like I said,
- 55:22Speaker 3: you know, m v P no surprise with mcdomeny. I think,
- 55:26Speaker 3: you know, maybe it is something that he probably captured
- 55:29Speaker 3: in the past in the last three months of the season.
- 55:31Speaker 3: If you would have you know, looked for this at
- 55:33Speaker 3: the beginning, maybe in January. Let's say, I think you
- 55:36Speaker 3: would have been maybe Touram who would have won m
- 55:38Speaker 3: v P at that point, you know, past mid pretty
- 55:42Speaker 3: much second bestment, right reindeers, because we know the best
- 55:45Speaker 3: mid is mcdommeny.
- 55:46Speaker 5: Uh.
- 55:47Speaker 3: But again I think another uh you know, deserving award
- 55:51Speaker 3: for for him and BOSTONI I think best defender, easy one,
- 55:55Speaker 3: easy one, and then obviously I take eight best forward
- 56:00Speaker 3: who scored the most goals.
- 56:01Speaker 2: That's an one.
- 56:02Speaker 5: Who did their job, who scored the most exactly. It's
- 56:05Speaker 5: like the rocket Reshire trophy. Like let's just very straightforward exactly. So,
- 56:10Speaker 5: but do you guys have any grapes problems with this? Uh?
- 56:15Speaker 3: With these awards?
- 56:16Speaker 6: I think I think this is one of the one
- 56:17Speaker 6: of the few years and in recent years that said
- 56:20Speaker 6: has actually gotten in it pretty much to yeah, perfectly correct,
- 56:24Speaker 6: like it's it's been. There's some years where it's like,
- 56:27Speaker 6: oh there's some debate, you know, all this play maybe
- 56:29Speaker 6: didn't deserve m v P or or or top in
- 56:32Speaker 6: whatever position category. But I would have to say, like
- 56:36Speaker 6: when I saw it, like right after, like you said, Nick,
- 56:37Speaker 6: like in the celebration of not we fanned them, and
- 56:40Speaker 6: that's all on my fee like just not we, not we,
- 56:43Speaker 6: not we, which is which is fine. You see that
- 56:44Speaker 6: one post that yeah, you know, the the team of
- 56:47Speaker 6: you know, not the team of the year, but you
- 56:49Speaker 6: know players of the seasons basically, and then Antonio Content
- 56:52Speaker 6: you know, manager of the season, right obviously, like I think,
- 56:56Speaker 6: like I said, for the first time in a while,
- 56:57Speaker 6: like spot on pretty much across the ball or like
- 57:00Speaker 6: there's not much debate, like you can probably say like
- 57:02Speaker 6: other names that kind of also had good seasons, like
- 57:05Speaker 6: you know, I like Steph said, you know Medett, you
- 57:08Speaker 6: know he tied Steve r with with Queen Sheets at sixteen, right,
- 57:11Speaker 6: so maybe people could have made an argument there. But
- 57:15Speaker 6: steel Are like just had an incredible season and he's
- 57:19Speaker 6: he's just improved like tremendously being so young and and
- 57:22Speaker 6: and and playing out at a club like Roma and
- 57:24Speaker 6: doing what he's been able to do, I think was huge.
- 57:27Speaker 6: The mcdomeney won, you know, obviously it's going to be
- 57:30Speaker 6: somebody from the Scudetto winning side, and you know, it
- 57:34Speaker 6: was pretty much a no brainer that it was going
- 57:36Speaker 6: to be mcdominey.
- 57:39Speaker 2: Like I said earlier that you know the.
- 57:40Speaker 6: Goal, the the goal against Kaddi for the Schudetto was
- 57:45Speaker 6: just you know, that cherry on top and now you know,
- 57:47Speaker 6: you see all the tattoos that people are getting with
- 57:49Speaker 6: with with with that on with with that image. So
- 57:53Speaker 6: and honestly, like, you know, best midfielder, I'm glad that.
- 57:59Speaker 2: You know, even in a bad Mealan year.
- 58:02Speaker 6: Ryander's got some some some love. And because I think honestly,
- 58:05Speaker 6: like between him mcdommeney aw, he's this season him mcdommeny.
- 58:10Speaker 2: People still will throw.
- 58:11Speaker 6: It maybe but Ella's name, like they've just these are
- 58:13Speaker 6: like top midfielders in our league.
- 58:15Speaker 2: So I'm glad to see that they were able to
- 58:17Speaker 2: kind of spread that wealth and and and and.
- 58:20Speaker 6: Really highlight you know the you know, the top players
- 58:22Speaker 6: in our league and the tagy what can we say,
- 58:25Speaker 6: I mean, twenty five goals, you know, even right behind
- 58:29Speaker 6: him Keen right like people will say like, you know,
- 58:30Speaker 6: Keene could be you know, maybe up there, but again,
- 58:33Speaker 6: you score the most goals, you're a couple in.
- 58:35Speaker 5: They of the season.
- 58:36Speaker 2: You're going to get that award.
- 58:37Speaker 6: And I think for the tag it's it's it's been,
- 58:40Speaker 6: it's it's merited, and you know he deserves it. And
- 58:42Speaker 6: I'm personally I'm a Rotegy fan, so I'm happy to
- 58:45Speaker 6: see him get that.
- 58:46Speaker 2: But I think you even have to shout out, you know,
- 58:48Speaker 2: moyst Keen for the season that he had, you know,
- 58:50Speaker 2: nineteen goals.
- 58:52Speaker 6: Yeah, it's it's it's it's crazy. I think he had
- 58:55Speaker 6: did he score last year? I heard like he didn't
- 58:57Speaker 6: even score. I don't remember.
- 58:58Speaker 4: I think there was he had g.
- 59:01Speaker 2: Yeah, zero zero goals.
- 59:03Speaker 6: Yeah, I don't think he didn't score, didn't do anything right.
- 59:07Speaker 6: It was zero goals, zero assist I had heard. And
- 59:09Speaker 6: now he had nineteen goals and you know, three four
- 59:11Speaker 6: assists whatever. It was so just a hell of an
- 59:14Speaker 6: incline for for for a guy like Keenan, another player
- 59:17Speaker 6: that you're you know, you feel happy.
- 59:18Speaker 2: For uh in doing so so.
- 59:21Speaker 6: Uh like I said, spot On said, yeah, it's about
- 59:24Speaker 6: time they actually, you know.
- 59:25Speaker 2: They get it right. And you know we can't really
- 59:28Speaker 2: complain on our end.
- 59:30Speaker 7: Yeah, twenty games, zero goals, zero assists and all competitions
- 59:33Speaker 7: for you.
- 59:34Speaker 5: Yeah, I mean it's not the first time a young
- 59:37Speaker 5: talent goes to Juve and dies out. I mean that's
- 59:39Speaker 5: what happens every fucking time. But nobody listens to Janny
- 59:43Speaker 5: when it's Janny's just being an anti Juve fan. I'm like, no, no, no,
- 59:47Speaker 5: there's the trend. Here is a Keylovich like.
- 59:53Speaker 3: That's a euro Cup winner. It's very cool because he didn't.
- 59:57Speaker 2: He didn't win the euro Cup with Juve. He went.
- 59:59Speaker 3: It was good, you know, contributed while he was a
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: member of you By. But it's funny. Bring that up,
- 1:00:06Speaker 3: Johnny the best under twenty three. I talked about bad
- 1:00:08Speaker 3: luck Volvich all went to TV or are they now?
- 1:00:15Speaker 5: I mean fat Joli did well for my fat, for
- 1:00:17Speaker 5: my Fanta couchol this year, so I'm really happy with that.
- 1:00:19Speaker 2: I think he was easy on Tottenham.
- 1:00:22Speaker 10: Still I think, yeah, Europa League winner. Yeah, look, uh,
- 1:00:33Speaker 10: I just wanted to add the Quotes of the Year award.
- 1:00:35Speaker 10: This is this is as easy as naming the best striker.
- 1:00:39Speaker 10: The last four winners Conte and zag spl last four
- 1:00:43Speaker 10: the winners.
- 1:00:43Speaker 11: I still think should have taken it this year. I
- 1:00:47Speaker 11: think it should have been for what he did for
- 1:00:49Speaker 11: for all like like I I honestly half the season
- 1:00:56Speaker 11: you see his records like like like what he did for.
- 1:00:59Speaker 2: Base like yeah, but the whole season. He took a
- 1:01:04Speaker 2: tenth place disaster team.
- 1:01:06Speaker 5: But it was a tenth place disaster from all the
- 1:01:08Speaker 5: media and all that ship there weren't in reality a
- 1:01:10Speaker 5: tenth place team. Like the reason why they were in
- 1:01:12Speaker 5: tenth place because like you lose Spiletti and then you
- 1:01:15Speaker 5: have to scramble to find any manager and you could
- 1:01:17Speaker 5: see a team with a poor manager.
- 1:01:19Speaker 2: You still finished tenth. Me won finished eighth this season.
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: Terrible year, That's what it.
- 1:01:24Speaker 5: But the thing is, I understand that, but I'm not saying,
- 1:01:26Speaker 5: like you look at the quality on paper of the team,
- 1:01:28Speaker 5: You're like, this is not an eighth place team, I guess,
- 1:01:31Speaker 5: And that's why, like like on paper, like Monopoly, wasn't
- 1:01:34Speaker 5: like a true tenth place team last year.
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: It was just a team with ship luck.
- 1:01:38Speaker 5: Now what like at Oma, you know, like the fact
- 1:01:41Speaker 5: that it's like, okay, they're not like a top four team,
- 1:01:43Speaker 5: but you know they should still be in the top
- 1:01:45Speaker 5: like easily the top six right let alone like no
- 1:01:48Speaker 5: problem in the top ten.
- 1:01:49Speaker 8: And when before he came along they were near relegation.
- 1:01:53Speaker 5: That says something, you know, And the fact that he
- 1:01:55Speaker 5: was able to like drag them out of the basement
- 1:01:57Speaker 5: and get them for like towards the last day a
- 1:01:59Speaker 5: potential chats spot, a competition that they haven't been in
- 1:02:02Speaker 5: like seven eight, years, like it's it does deserve a shout. Now,
- 1:02:07Speaker 5: obviously you know that the winners, he won the trophy.
- 1:02:10Speaker 5: I get that, and I'm not gonna like, I'm not
- 1:02:12Speaker 5: gonna cry at the end of the day that Conte
- 1:02:13Speaker 5: one manager of the season. That's fine, That's okay because like,
- 1:02:18Speaker 5: but LIKEETI like, that's probably the only one you can
- 1:02:21Speaker 5: think of where it's like the guy comes in and
- 1:02:23Speaker 5: in half a sea. Actually know what I wonder if
- 1:02:25Speaker 5: there's a way for me to pull up standings for
- 1:02:28Speaker 5: this Okay, let's say the last half.
- 1:02:30Speaker 2: Of this year or fourteenth or fifteen or were they
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: fourteen something?
- 1:02:33Speaker 5: Yeah, but like I wonder if I could do like
- 1:02:35Speaker 5: like as a I think also.
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: Did win it.
- 1:02:37Speaker 6: What was that trophy that he won that I don't
- 1:02:39Speaker 6: know what it was called fair play off fair play,
- 1:02:42Speaker 6: fair play.
- 1:02:42Speaker 3: And then and then Jackson from hellas Runna on the
- 1:02:48Speaker 3: Speed Award award. Ye know, I've that's the fastest medium
- 1:02:52Speaker 3: speed beating equal and fastest medium right, all right, I
- 1:03:00Speaker 3: was reading the press release in Italian.
- 1:03:03Speaker 6: Okay, hold on, hold on, Claudia facing the picture too,
- 1:03:06Speaker 6: he looks so he looks so not happy.
- 1:03:08Speaker 2: He was just holding the trophy like you know what existed,
- 1:03:13Speaker 2: he didn't even want it. When when did he sign?
- 1:03:15Speaker 2: I'm looking by the date first.
- 1:03:17Speaker 3: The first year that award is out. There's a Goal
- 1:03:20Speaker 3: of the Season awards, Steph, and that has to go
- 1:03:21Speaker 3: to mcummenagle. No, unless you can think of a better goal.
- 1:03:27Speaker 4: Just the weight of it, as soon as.
- 1:03:30Speaker 3: Like this is one of the nicest, uh scow that
- 1:03:33Speaker 3: the winning goals ever?
- 1:03:35Speaker 5: Yeah, okay, hold on, uh let's go from.
- 1:03:42Speaker 2: Hold on, I found the way to do it.
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: So when what which match week was the twelfth November?
- 1:03:47Speaker 5: That's okay, let's just say what like match week?
- 1:03:51Speaker 2: Hold on November? Okay, just skip me for now. Come
- 1:03:57Speaker 2: back to me and I'll interrupt when I have the stat.
- 1:04:00Speaker 3: Steph, I actually want to ask. Obviously Napoli requalified for
- 1:04:03Speaker 3: the Champions League, way too early predictions for their Champions
- 1:04:08Speaker 3: League next year or any expectations.
- 1:04:11Speaker 7: I mean, if we signed the players we're looking at,
- 1:04:13Speaker 7: I definitely think we can compete in it, like maybe
- 1:04:16Speaker 7: making you know, to quarter or something like that.
- 1:04:19Speaker 4: I don't know. Obviously Conte isn't the best.
- 1:04:20Speaker 7: If Conte is the coach, obviously he doesn't have the
- 1:04:23Speaker 7: greatest traft record in the era. But I mean just
- 1:04:25Speaker 7: solely based off the signs we're looking at, like definitely,
- 1:04:30Speaker 7: like some of the biggest sign players now please looked
- 1:04:32Speaker 7: at before. Like even like to me, the de Bruyne,
- 1:04:35Speaker 7: the deal's done pretty much. Dela Enttis is literally like
- 1:04:37Speaker 7: talked about it and basically said that it's done.
- 1:04:39Speaker 4: The deal, so that deal to me is done.
- 1:04:42Speaker 7: Even just having a player like that, I mean definitely
- 1:04:45Speaker 7: is massive. I don't know. If we make signs, I
- 1:04:48Speaker 7: definitely think we can compete because like they're obviously his
- 1:04:52Speaker 7: holes a huge hole in our squad as the depth.
- 1:04:55Speaker 7: So I mean, if it was like our current squad
- 1:04:57Speaker 7: with only let's say with the de bruyner A David,
- 1:04:59Speaker 7: I think it be tough. It would kind of be
- 1:05:01Speaker 7: like you have to pick which competition you're gonna compete
- 1:05:04Speaker 7: in because the depth is not there in the team,
- 1:05:06Speaker 7: Like we don't have a backup striker, We're missing a
- 1:05:09Speaker 7: lot of certain things.
- 1:05:10Speaker 4: But if we make those signs and stuff like that,
- 1:05:12Speaker 4: I definitely think we.
- 1:05:13Speaker 7: Can compete in Champions League, like possibly make a quarter
- 1:05:16Speaker 7: run or something like that.
- 1:05:17Speaker 4: But obviously it's hard to tell, all.
- 1:05:20Speaker 2: Right, so I got the stat hold on, no, listen
- 1:05:23Speaker 2: to this. No, that's how crazy this is.
- 1:05:25Speaker 3: Okay.
- 1:05:26Speaker 5: So Panetti came in on the thirteenth of November, more
- 1:05:30Speaker 5: or less so match date thirteen.
- 1:05:32Speaker 2: He was he was starting to coach Roma. If if the.
- 1:05:37Speaker 5: Season started at that time, obviously he should have could
- 1:05:39Speaker 5: have would have. You know, who gets that's a reality
- 1:05:41Speaker 5: of the situation. The table goes like this and staid, Yeah,
- 1:05:45Speaker 5: tied for first our inter Rama Annapoli with fifty six
- 1:05:50Speaker 5: points each.
- 1:05:51Speaker 2: Johnny fighting himself would be fighting himself. Inter wins because
- 1:05:57Speaker 2: the goal differential.
- 1:05:59Speaker 5: But Roma and inter have the exact same record seventeen
- 1:06:03Speaker 5: five and four as of the thirteenth of November. So
- 1:06:07Speaker 5: I know, like like we're talking about content this and
- 1:06:10Speaker 5: I don't disagree with but like what he did for Roma,
- 1:06:14Speaker 5: like it's just it's like I'm not like that's the
- 1:06:16Speaker 5: thing is, that's what he does. He unites the room,
- 1:06:19Speaker 5: and then next season he doesn't do so well. That's
- 1:06:21Speaker 5: why he's retired. Like he did it just to like,
- 1:06:23Speaker 5: you know, bring some stability to the squad. Now you
- 1:06:25Speaker 5: actually have to get a good manager. But like we
- 1:06:28Speaker 5: can't like ignore this, like this is something crazy, Like
- 1:06:31Speaker 5: imagine if the season did start at that point, then
- 1:06:35Speaker 5: you would have had a three way race for the Scudet.
- 1:06:36Speaker 5: Though you know what I'm saying, like, that's that's crazy.
- 1:06:39Speaker 2: Fuck. If I could have had an Apolete Roma one two,
- 1:06:41Speaker 2: I would have been fucking and heaven.
- 1:06:43Speaker 4: You know, I don't.
- 1:06:45Speaker 2: Either way, I'm good.
- 1:06:46Speaker 5: But in all seriousness, you know, like, like what manager
- 1:06:50Speaker 5: have you seen come in at like like partially through
- 1:06:54Speaker 5: the season and just managed to turn the squad around
- 1:06:57Speaker 5: and get them to where they where they are now.
- 1:06:59Speaker 5: Obviously there's no Champions League, There's is Europa League, which
- 1:07:01Speaker 5: if I personally prefer more for Roma than Champions because
- 1:07:05Speaker 5: I think the squad is more suited for Europa.
- 1:07:07Speaker 2: Than than Champions.
- 1:07:08Speaker 5: But it's it's something that should be given praise, and
- 1:07:12Speaker 5: I feel like he should have probably been given Manager
- 1:07:15Speaker 5: of the Year versus Conte, but Conte want to monopoly,
- 1:07:19Speaker 5: so I'm I'm not gonna cry about it either.
- 1:07:23Speaker 2: So if my if my Sea had ball, should be Masio.
- 1:07:25Speaker 3: Right, Yeah, if they won all their games this season,
- 1:07:30Speaker 3: they would have won the school that though.
- 1:07:31Speaker 6: Yeah, but all that to say, you know, no, listen,
- 1:07:37Speaker 6: you have there's besides all the jokes, like there is
- 1:07:40Speaker 6: a there is a point that you can't I agree,
- 1:07:42Speaker 6: like there we have to we have.
- 1:07:45Speaker 2: To appreciate WHATEI did.
- 1:07:47Speaker 6: I just think something like that, if you don't win,
- 1:07:50Speaker 6: like at the end of the day, it's a results
- 1:07:52Speaker 6: of business. Like if you don't win, like you're not
- 1:07:53Speaker 6: gonna nobody's gonna remember.
- 1:07:56Speaker 2: You know, is from match Day thirteen though thirty eight,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: he was the best.
- 1:08:01Speaker 6: Like, nobody's gonna remember that in twenty years, right, So
- 1:08:04Speaker 6: it's unfortunate.
- 1:08:05Speaker 2: But I'll remember that your heart, in your.
- 1:08:08Speaker 6: Heart, You'll always remember. But no, listen, I I do,
- 1:08:12Speaker 6: I do hear where you're coming from. But it's hard
- 1:08:15Speaker 6: to it's hard to obviously beat for these awards. I
- 1:08:17Speaker 6: mean it's hard to beat you know, the school that's
- 1:08:20Speaker 6: the winner and that being Antonio Conti as a coach.
- 1:08:23Speaker 6: But just another thing I wanted to, you know, mentioned
- 1:08:25Speaker 6: to Steph and obviously it's been in the news.
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: And we kind of brought up a bit earlier.
- 1:08:30Speaker 6: You know, is Conte staying an apple or is Kante
- 1:08:33Speaker 6: going And at first it looked like he was, you know,
- 1:08:37Speaker 6: if you were listening to the report, he was almost
- 1:08:39Speaker 6: out the door as soon as he as soon as
- 1:08:40Speaker 6: you as soon as the praide was done, he was
- 1:08:42Speaker 6: pretty much you know, packing his bags and and you
- 1:08:45Speaker 6: know the report was saying he was he was gone,
- 1:08:47Speaker 6: you know, as the hours go, as the days passed,
- 1:08:49Speaker 6: like it's kind of been up and up and up
- 1:08:51Speaker 6: in the air. He's he's looking to stay. You know,
- 1:08:54Speaker 6: you have positive talks with the Orientis back and forth.
- 1:08:59Speaker 6: I don't like, Steph, do you think he will stay
- 1:09:03Speaker 6: ultimately at the end or I know it's it's something
- 1:09:06Speaker 6: hard to say. And we're just hearing from from random
- 1:09:09Speaker 6: not random. Reports are pretty reputable, uh you know sources,
- 1:09:12Speaker 6: but you know, does he stay or and if he doesn't,
- 1:09:16Speaker 6: say who would you replace him with? And who would
- 1:09:20Speaker 6: who would ideally fit THISNPOLY team?
- 1:09:22Speaker 2: And that can go also even for Johnny.
- 1:09:25Speaker 7: Uh So to me, I don't know, I never understood
- 1:09:29Speaker 7: why he would leave, like especially when you look at
- 1:09:31Speaker 7: the situation, like the rumors that he's supposed to go
- 1:09:34Speaker 7: to Juve, right, Like, I don't know that Juve is
- 1:09:37Speaker 7: going to spend more money than not with this summer
- 1:09:39Speaker 7: just based on not pally wing the Scudatto and and
- 1:09:42Speaker 7: they have the Ultiman money coming in that they haven't spent.
- 1:09:44Speaker 7: They have the Kavar money that they didn't spend on
- 1:09:46Speaker 7: a wing yer to spend in the summer. So like
- 1:09:48Speaker 7: I don't know, Like I don't I don't understand that
- 1:09:51Speaker 7: move that much for Conte, Like if you're looking at
- 1:09:53Speaker 7: from his perspective, I understand that people say, like obviously
- 1:09:56Speaker 7: people the thing is that he's a Uve fan and
- 1:09:59Speaker 7: stuff like that, But from an actual situation, I just
- 1:10:01Speaker 7: don't see how, like it would make the most sense
- 1:10:05Speaker 7: for Conte himself just because he's been with this squad,
- 1:10:08Speaker 7: he won this Scudetto with this team. The team this
- 1:10:10Speaker 7: year was there was massive holes in the team, like
- 1:10:13Speaker 7: there was no depth, There was certain positions that there
- 1:10:17Speaker 7: was locking, like we didn't have a proper winger on
- 1:10:19Speaker 7: our other side. Like so from that point of view,
- 1:10:22Speaker 7: I don't get it why he would leave just because
- 1:10:26Speaker 7: of the situation. I feel like the best situation is Napoli.
- 1:10:29Speaker 7: He's he's there, he just won. There's no I don't, like,
- 1:10:33Speaker 7: I don't see this thing of people like trying to
- 1:10:35Speaker 7: create a narrative that then there's some sort of bad
- 1:10:38Speaker 7: blood because I don't know, Like when it comes to
- 1:10:41Speaker 7: the actual cameras, Delrente is talking about him, de Lorenzo
- 1:10:44Speaker 7: talking about him, the players, it seemed like all the
- 1:10:46Speaker 7: players just absolutely love Conte. I don't think he's gonna
- 1:10:51Speaker 7: leave personally, just based off who were signing, Like, I
- 1:10:55Speaker 7: feel like like not ly first off is never like
- 1:10:58Speaker 7: it's kind of like weird, you don't see a team win,
- 1:11:00Speaker 7: and then like the same day already talking about signing
- 1:11:02Speaker 7: de Bruyna and like all these heavy transfer talks where
- 1:11:05Speaker 7: it's like you have some reporters saying that the de
- 1:11:07Speaker 7: Bruyne deal's done, and then the David deal. Today there
- 1:11:10Speaker 7: was a lot of big reporters saying that that deal
- 1:11:12Speaker 7: is almost close. So if we make those signs, I think,
- 1:11:16Speaker 7: I think, to be honest, that's partly to get Conte
- 1:11:18Speaker 7: to stay. I feel like part of this is that
- 1:11:21Speaker 7: they're basically saying, like, see, we're gonna sign these big players,
- 1:11:24Speaker 7: like to kind of convince them to stay. I saw
- 1:11:27Speaker 7: if I Brichi Romano reported today that there was a
- 1:11:29Speaker 7: big meeting between dealer Entis and Conte and that like
- 1:11:33Speaker 7: there was positive talks in that.
- 1:11:35Speaker 4: So I don't know, like I don't.
- 1:11:38Speaker 7: See Conte leaving just because of the situation, and I
- 1:11:42Speaker 7: think what maybe Sway's opinion is, Like there's players coming out,
- 1:11:46Speaker 7: like during the parade, Lucaku basically said on the mic,
- 1:11:49Speaker 7: he said, I'll do everything to make sure Conte stays
- 1:11:51Speaker 7: at the club, and the players are saying that, like
- 1:11:54Speaker 7: because at this point it's known these rumors, right, like
- 1:11:57Speaker 7: people have been talking about this like before Knopoly won.
- 1:11:59Speaker 7: So yeah, like there's players coming out saying, oh, We're
- 1:12:03Speaker 7: gonna do everything to make sure Conte stays and stuff.
- 1:12:05Speaker 7: So I don't know, like based on if we actually
- 1:12:09Speaker 7: close these big signs, like I actually see the Bruyna
- 1:12:12Speaker 7: and these guys in Anopoly Jersey, I don't see why
- 1:12:15Speaker 7: Conte would leave.
- 1:12:17Speaker 4: But like in the event he does.
- 1:12:18Speaker 7: Leave, speaking about you were saying, like who a good
- 1:12:21Speaker 7: coach would be Monopoly, The rumor obviously was with Allegory.
- 1:12:28Speaker 7: I'm a massive I do not like Allegory, but I
- 1:12:31Speaker 7: do think that this Monopoly team fits a ligure, Like
- 1:12:34Speaker 7: I think he can do well with this team. Like
- 1:12:37Speaker 7: as much as I don't like him, he is a winner.
- 1:12:39Speaker 7: Like if we obviously towards the end of that, you've spelled.
- 1:12:42Speaker 7: You know, he didn't do well, but I mean look
- 1:12:44Speaker 7: at the team, and the team is not doing good
- 1:12:46Speaker 7: without him, So you could look at it kind of
- 1:12:48Speaker 7: from both ways. We've seen Agury pick up off a
- 1:12:53Speaker 7: Conte built team and that Juve dynasty. Like Conte helped
- 1:12:57Speaker 7: build that team, Allegury came in and basically kind of.
- 1:12:59Speaker 4: One with that team.
- 1:13:01Speaker 7: From a fan point of view, I like, you want
- 1:13:04Speaker 7: to see your team win, but obviously, like she doesn't
- 1:13:06Speaker 7: play the most attractive brand of football. But like other coaches,
- 1:13:11Speaker 7: I like is I saw I know Palladino obviously resigned
- 1:13:15Speaker 7: from Florentina today, he also is from Monopoly, which would
- 1:13:19Speaker 7: be cool obviously to have a coach who's from Naples
- 1:13:22Speaker 7: coach Monopoly. But I just don't know if a coach
- 1:13:24Speaker 7: like that's ready enough obviously to go and fight for Scudeto.
- 1:13:28Speaker 4: So like, if you're looking at it from.
- 1:13:30Speaker 7: A realistic option, I don't know anyone else besides Agrie
- 1:13:34Speaker 7: who's like a winning coach who would come to Monopoly,
- 1:13:37Speaker 7: or anyone who's really available, Like obviously there's like a
- 1:13:39Speaker 7: club and stuff, but to me that's so unrealistic.
- 1:13:42Speaker 4: I don't see like him joining monopoly, So I don't know.
- 1:13:46Speaker 7: I don't think Knopoli is like in some sort of chaos.
- 1:13:49Speaker 7: If we lose Conte, it's over. I think the team
- 1:13:51Speaker 7: is good, We're gonna make an investment. But from the options,
- 1:13:55Speaker 7: I feel like those are the two key guys like Legree,
- 1:13:58Speaker 7: where you get a proven winner, or you're try and
- 1:14:01Speaker 7: kind of take a bit of a gamble and you
- 1:14:02Speaker 7: get like a Palladino. You know, he plays good football.
- 1:14:05Speaker 7: He's now done well with two teams, so I think
- 1:14:08Speaker 7: it's between those, even in Italiano. But I like him
- 1:14:12Speaker 7: as a coach, but I don't think he's ready for that.
- 1:14:15Speaker 7: Like obviously those coaches just worry me because we saw
- 1:14:17Speaker 7: what happened with Molta Juve, Like they look like they're
- 1:14:20Speaker 7: in some sort of amazing coach, but you don't know,
- 1:14:23Speaker 7: like there's different pressure when you're coaching a top team,
- 1:14:25Speaker 7: especially a team that just won. Even Deserbi's a good
- 1:14:28Speaker 7: show and he played unoppotly before we saw he actually
- 1:14:32Speaker 7: did pretty well. I'm pretty sure Marseill end up coming second,
- 1:14:35Speaker 7: so you know that he can compete. Like obviously Marseille
- 1:14:38Speaker 7: is not going to be PSG for the league, so
- 1:14:40Speaker 7: it's unrealistic.
- 1:14:42Speaker 4: To be PSG. Like, we know the way that league is,
- 1:14:44Speaker 4: so I think those options are good bye.
- 1:14:47Speaker 3: I don't know.
- 1:14:47Speaker 7: I just don't see Conte leaving, especially if you signed
- 1:14:50Speaker 7: with de Bruyna. Like, I don't know if Juve is
- 1:14:52Speaker 7: gonna sign a player of that level. I just don't
- 1:14:54Speaker 7: see that happening for Juve unless maybe they're willing to
- 1:15:00Speaker 7: spend all that, but they just spend big in the
- 1:15:01Speaker 7: summer and it didn't work out, So I don't know.
- 1:15:04Speaker 4: I just don't see how it benefits Conte to go
- 1:15:07Speaker 4: to you, Johnny.
- 1:15:10Speaker 6: Uh.
- 1:15:11Speaker 5: I think the like we've seen managers like Ancelotti managed Napoli,
- 1:15:17Speaker 5: we've seen Conte, we've seen we've seen bigger names. So
- 1:15:20Speaker 5: like it's it's like as if, like you know, like
- 1:15:25Speaker 5: any any option seems realistic at some point, I don't.
- 1:15:28Speaker 5: Like I agree urgan Clop is not going to be
- 1:15:29Speaker 5: the realistic option because there's been zero links and there's
- 1:15:31Speaker 5: no reason for him to come along. But a Legaty
- 1:15:36Speaker 5: seems like the most logical choice, seems like the most
- 1:15:39Speaker 5: well fit choice. But if the rumors are true and
- 1:15:44Speaker 5: Uh there he is available, I would like to see
- 1:15:47Speaker 5: Casparinia Napoli. I I even though there was that clip
- 1:15:51Speaker 5: where you called another Napole and that's not gonna say.
- 1:15:54Speaker 4: Well with the facts, uh.
- 1:15:59Speaker 2: But I don't know. But given the.
- 1:16:01Speaker 5: Fact of like what he's done for Atalanta and he's
- 1:16:04Speaker 5: able to create a system where any player is able
- 1:16:06Speaker 5: to succeed, you know.
- 1:16:07Speaker 2: Like that's what you can't I kind of like a
- 1:16:10Speaker 2: manager like that.
- 1:16:11Speaker 5: I always sang praises about Gasparini's management system and what
- 1:16:15Speaker 5: he's done for Atalanta, winning a Europa League title against
- 1:16:19Speaker 5: a bio Levercusin that was just unbeatable that year. Literally,
- 1:16:23Speaker 5: you know, especially if Lukman does come along, well you
- 1:16:28Speaker 5: know what I mean, Like like that would be a
- 1:16:29Speaker 5: great manager to use him because they know each other already.
- 1:16:33Speaker 2: Gasparini would obviously be another name by.
- 1:16:35Speaker 5: Throwing to throw it to the mix, but he might
- 1:16:39Speaker 5: go to Roma if it goes to Romas. Either way,
- 1:16:41Speaker 5: I'm gonna I'm gonna be okay with wherever he goes.
- 1:16:43Speaker 5: But yeah, not obviously depends on leaves. But hold on, Toby,
- 1:16:48Speaker 5: Toby stopped barking.
- 1:16:50Speaker 2: He's still celebrating every time there's a knock at the door.
- 1:16:54Speaker 2: The doorbell rings or whatever. He has to be like
- 1:16:56Speaker 2: door door, door.
- 1:16:57Speaker 7: Door, GASPREENI could do good another team because I have
- 1:17:03Speaker 7: a different infinity.
- 1:17:03Speaker 4: But I want to see what you guys think.
- 1:17:06Speaker 2: He's no, he's not gonna be good overnight. He's not
- 1:17:09Speaker 2: gonna he's it's good. His system takes time to implement.
- 1:17:12Speaker 5: But like, he's the reason why Atalanta are where they
- 1:17:16Speaker 5: at where they're at today.
- 1:17:18Speaker 6: His history though, like besides, like he's never done it
- 1:17:21Speaker 6: at a at a bigger level than than than Atalanta, right,
- 1:17:24Speaker 6: Like his his inter experiment, it obviously didn't go go
- 1:17:28Speaker 6: go well. He found a home and a little bit
- 1:17:30Speaker 6: of a niche in in Atlanta, and and that's fine.
- 1:17:33Speaker 6: He drove that team from from nothing to something and
- 1:17:37Speaker 6: and everybody's been singing their praises, you know, ever since.
- 1:17:39Speaker 2: So you have to give him that credit.
- 1:17:41Speaker 6: I know, you know, all the fans and of other
- 1:17:43Speaker 6: teams don't particularly like him, or you know, he has
- 1:17:46Speaker 6: a bit of an arrogance to him. He fights with
- 1:17:47Speaker 6: players at the end and all the behind the scenes
- 1:17:50Speaker 6: you know bs that that we hear. But listen, I
- 1:17:55Speaker 6: don't know for me, I agree with these guys. I
- 1:17:58Speaker 6: don't think it would happen overnight, when it happened in
- 1:18:01Speaker 6: a in a piazza like Roma.
- 1:18:02Speaker 2: I don't. I don't know either because even though you know,
- 1:18:06Speaker 2: Roma is not you know, in terms of you know,
- 1:18:10Speaker 2: history or whatever.
- 1:18:10Speaker 6: Obviously there's a lot of history there, but you know
- 1:18:12Speaker 6: they're they're they're not at the top that top three,
- 1:18:14Speaker 6: like Jenny always says, you know that the Romany, sorry,
- 1:18:17Speaker 6: the Milan, the inter in the US, right, but and
- 1:18:20Speaker 6: Atalanta and and Roma, like I don't know, however you
- 1:18:23Speaker 6: want to position them in terms of importance and in
- 1:18:26Speaker 6: terms of history and all that. But you know, I
- 1:18:30Speaker 6: think it would be tough for him to go somewhere
- 1:18:32Speaker 6: else and and have that instant impact right away like that.
- 1:18:36Speaker 2: I don't see. Will it happen that he does find
- 1:18:38Speaker 2: some sort of success Potentially, I do. I do see that.
- 1:18:41Speaker 2: And I think if it's a project and if.
- 1:18:43Speaker 6: The president and the ownership group is willing to to
- 1:18:47Speaker 6: invest the time in that project and really stick by
- 1:18:50Speaker 6: his side, I think that's when he can That's when
- 1:18:53Speaker 6: he can get rolling, and that's when he can get
- 1:18:56Speaker 6: you know, positive results, positive seasons and you know baby
- 1:19:00Speaker 6: steps into you know, Champions League and then maybe fighting
- 1:19:03Speaker 6: for schoodet Tea and and and so on and so forth.
- 1:19:06Speaker 2: But for Gus Barini, it's he's really only shown it,
- 1:19:10Speaker 2: you know at this Atalanta side. So uh for me
- 1:19:14Speaker 2: it would be tough to to really say, but work
- 1:19:17Speaker 2: in progress for sure.
- 1:19:18Speaker 6: But Roma, if it would be a team to kind
- 1:19:20Speaker 6: of experiment that on, I would like to see that Roma,
- 1:19:23Speaker 6: to be honest, Do you disagree stuff?
- 1:19:29Speaker 2: No?
- 1:19:29Speaker 4: I agree.
- 1:19:29Speaker 7: I think the same thing, Like, because the thing is Roma.
- 1:19:31Speaker 7: It's not like no one's expecting Roma to win the
- 1:19:33Speaker 7: Scudato next year, so that's the thing. But I think
- 1:19:36Speaker 7: more's towards the links of like a like I know
- 1:19:39Speaker 7: he's not linked with them, but like a Juve and
- 1:19:41Speaker 7: Milan who go through coaches a lot quicker and have
- 1:19:44Speaker 7: like much higher expectations obviously, like I know Roma's Roma
- 1:19:48Speaker 7: came fifth this season, so their expectations might be a
- 1:19:50Speaker 7: bit higher now, But like I think for sure, Like
- 1:19:53Speaker 7: and one thing is more just the way he talks,
- 1:19:56Speaker 7: Like like when you're at a small team and you
- 1:19:59Speaker 7: have these demands, you talk a certain way.
- 1:20:00Speaker 4: I feel like you maybe get away with it a
- 1:20:02Speaker 4: bit more.
- 1:20:03Speaker 7: And I feel like if you're at like a juve
- 1:20:05Speaker 7: or like a melan, and you talk a certain way
- 1:20:07Speaker 7: that I don't know how the ownership like is gonna
- 1:20:10Speaker 7: feel about that for example, right so, but I mean
- 1:20:14Speaker 7: no doubt he's definitely an amazing coach and if these
- 1:20:16Speaker 7: teams give him time, I'm just more worried about the
- 1:20:18Speaker 7: time thing. Like to me, Gasprien is like one of
- 1:20:21Speaker 7: like the great coaches of the last ten years. What
- 1:20:23Speaker 7: he's been able to do is like incredible. I think
- 1:20:25Speaker 7: it's just a matter of fact. Is like number one,
- 1:20:28Speaker 7: is he gonna be able to to fit well in
- 1:20:31Speaker 7: those environments? And number two are they going to give
- 1:20:33Speaker 7: him the time? Because you know in Sadiyah it's like
- 1:20:35Speaker 7: they get rid of coaches like nothing so true.
- 1:20:38Speaker 3: That's very true, guys, unless you had other topics. I
- 1:20:45Speaker 3: think this is a great conversation with Steph. One thing
- 1:20:48Speaker 3: I wanted to add before we wrap it up. Jenny
- 1:20:50Speaker 3: talked about the monopoly parade here in Montreal. I just
- 1:20:55Speaker 3: wanted to add June starting in twelve pm, twelve pm
