Transcript
- 0:00Speaker 1: Yeah, why not Casa.
- 0:27Speaker 2: Maybe maybe Atlanta could be the team to save him,
- 0:31Speaker 2: you know, maybe the restoration project for Gaspardini.
- 0:34Speaker 3: I mean, every team is basically trying to get after Kyazza.
- 0:38Speaker 4: I saw me looking for him. I know, I know
- 0:41Speaker 4: now point into I think. I mean it's very rumor
- 0:43Speaker 4: heavy now obviously with Kaza. But we'll see.
- 0:47Speaker 3: Man, I don't know, you know, you know what, you
- 0:49Speaker 3: know what, you know what? My my just kind of
- 0:52Speaker 3: random but kind of better for him.
- 0:53Speaker 4: You know where you should go? You should go to Spain.
- 0:55Speaker 4: I think I should go to Spain. I think as
- 0:58Speaker 4: of a benefit vacation. Johnny has his hands behind his back.
- 1:07Speaker 2: Uh no, what do you call him? No Johnny, No, sir,
- 1:13Speaker 2: Johnny's that's it here on the culture guys, Johnny, Nicholas, Janno. Uh,
- 1:17Speaker 2: that was Johnny just over a week ago predicting where
- 1:21Speaker 2: Kesa could end up. And there's rumors today that he
- 1:23Speaker 2: could end up going to Barsa. Which if you ask
- 1:26Speaker 2: me to name ten teams that he could end up going,
- 1:29Speaker 2: I don't think I would have named them, but you know,
- 1:31Speaker 2: maybe I have to ask my cousin Johnny, what the
- 1:33Speaker 2: lottery tickets are tonight or something.
- 1:34Speaker 4: I don't know.
- 1:37Speaker 2: Jesus how how you just throw darts at a board
- 1:40Speaker 2: and hope it's six or you you actually predict the future, Johnny.
- 1:42Speaker 3: I mean, some people like to make the joke that
- 1:44Speaker 3: a broken clock is right twice a day, right, So
- 1:47Speaker 3: I don't know, it's something broken. Johnny's right twice a season.
- 1:52Speaker 3: I guess I am broken.
- 1:53Speaker 4: I don't know, and he is right.
- 1:57Speaker 3: So yeah, No, it's just, uh, sometimes you just get
- 2:00Speaker 3: these hunches or these feelings and it just you gotta
- 2:02Speaker 3: go with them. I think like when you watch sports enough,
- 2:05Speaker 3: you just you just get those vibes and you just
- 2:08Speaker 3: like ride that train until the end and see what happened.
- 2:10Speaker 3: So that's that's that's basically what it was. There was
- 2:13Speaker 3: just thought came in my head. I'm like, yeah, you know,
- 2:14Speaker 3: what if he's not gonna join a team in Italy,
- 2:16Speaker 3: which didn't seem like it was happening, Like the logical
- 2:18Speaker 3: step for him would be span I don't think you'll
- 2:19Speaker 3: go to England. I think Spain would be more his thing.
- 2:21Speaker 3: And lo and behold, he is about to commit a
- 2:23Speaker 3: deal to Barsa.
- 2:24Speaker 2: So not official, not official. See, yes, maybe we're pumping
- 2:31Speaker 2: Jenny's tires and it's not gonna happen.
- 2:34Speaker 3: Nah, don't come on.

- 4:14Speaker 2: a draw in the city. Ye started to to Genoa
- 4:17Speaker 2: one to one, sorry General inter one to one, part
- 4:19Speaker 2: of Fiorantina two to Milantarino zero zero and Plea Monza.
- 4:23Speaker 2: So the first four games in the city, first five
- 4:27Speaker 2: actually could count Bologna. You didn't say that finished. Uh
- 4:30Speaker 2: if it finished before Verona Monopoli, we're all draws and
- 4:34Speaker 2: that's I feel like that's typical city. How many times
- 4:37Speaker 2: have we come on to show, like, guys, there's so
- 4:38Speaker 2: many draws this weekend in city. But you know, I
- 4:42Speaker 2: feel like some of these teams it it was almost
- 4:45Speaker 2: almost a bit rusty from the summer, you know, obviously
- 4:48Speaker 2: short summer for some players after the Euros, and you
- 4:51Speaker 2: kind of saw that even you know, a team like
- 4:53Speaker 2: Napoli coming coming in with a new coach. I know, Johnny,
- 4:56Speaker 2: I don't know if you had a chance to watch
- 4:57Speaker 2: the game, but this is classic new coach. You know,
- 5:00Speaker 2: new coach doesn't come in and fix everything. He's gonna
- 5:03Speaker 2: have time to He's gonna need time to develop his team.
- 5:06Speaker 2: Same thing with with Como. You know, we hyped them up,
- 5:09Speaker 2: john You hyped him up. Everyone hyped them up for
- 5:12Speaker 2: all the acquisitions that god. But you know, you get
- 5:15Speaker 2: so many players they're not used to playing with each other.
- 5:17Speaker 2: It's it's gonna be a struggle the first weekend. But
- 5:19Speaker 2: at the end of that, at the end of the day,
- 5:20Speaker 2: this is the first week and there's plenty to go.
- 5:23Speaker 2: There's three seven match day's left.
- 5:26Speaker 3: Well exactly, let's that's what we have to remember. It's
- 5:29Speaker 3: just match day one. It's just match day one. Like
- 5:33Speaker 3: people are getting all hyped and all excited and blah
- 5:35Speaker 3: blah blah, and I'm like, guys, it's just one game. There's
- 5:39Speaker 3: thirty seven games left to go. It's it's a yes,
- 5:43Speaker 3: you know, for a lot of people, it's not what
- 5:44Speaker 3: they expected to start off the season. But like I think,
- 5:49Speaker 3: what was it Italian meme page? Uh, the one that
- 5:55Speaker 3: we always send memes to each other from Nick?
- 5:56Speaker 4: I can't remember the auto goal or catch. Yeah.
- 6:02Speaker 3: Like it's like they said that they start off to
- 6:04Speaker 3: meet with a legacy started the past three c use finishes, right,
- 6:08Speaker 3: So now it's the fourth season, You've starts three to zero,
- 6:10Speaker 3: and what's gonna happen with Matta?
- 6:12Speaker 4: You know?
- 6:13Speaker 3: Like like that's what I mean. Like it's so crazy,
- 6:14Speaker 3: Like you can have a fantastic start and then it
- 6:16Speaker 3: goes to then you ship the bed. Then you can
- 6:18Speaker 3: have teams where they have a crap start and then
- 6:20Speaker 3: all of a sudden they turn it around and they
- 6:21Speaker 3: have a great finish. You know, what was the team
- 6:24Speaker 3: last year that was outside of the top ten for
- 6:27Speaker 3: just a little bit at the beginning, then more I
- 6:28Speaker 3: worked their.
- 6:28Speaker 4: Way up.
- 6:31Speaker 2: Roma at Atlanta I think.
- 6:33Speaker 3: It was probably at the lot. I'm thinking more Aroma
- 6:35Speaker 3: is more like okay, well you can't they did the
- 6:37Speaker 3: best and it was more of a disapointment, but Atlanta
- 6:40Speaker 3: just pretty much just founded again towards how last half
- 6:43Speaker 3: of the season they were just phenomenal teams. So and
- 6:45Speaker 3: then we eventually winning Europa League. So it's it's just
- 6:48Speaker 3: game one. I'm not saying it's not gonna it can't
- 6:50Speaker 3: continue this way or there's gonna be no more disappointments
- 6:53Speaker 3: going forward, but it's just game one.
- 6:57Speaker 4: Yeah, these are the these are the edge and fours
- 6:59Speaker 4: of of of Setia. We we we see it every
- 7:02Speaker 4: every week, every every year. It's always the same sort
- 7:05Speaker 4: of deal. And again these things are expected right match
- 7:08Speaker 4: day one, Like we're saying, I think we're all on
- 7:10Speaker 4: the same page on that aspect. You know, you know,
- 7:13Speaker 4: maybe what we expected that three nothing lost for not
- 7:16Speaker 4: paying the opening game. Maybe not. But at the same time,
- 7:20Speaker 4: it's it's growing pains. I know Conte had some mind
- 7:23Speaker 4: games before the before the season kicked off, in in
- 7:26Speaker 4: press conferences, in typical Conte fashion, already people saying he's
- 7:30Speaker 4: already complaining. But again, listen, this is like roller coaster Setia. Like,
- 7:37Speaker 4: like I said, it's it's gonna's bound to happen, and
- 7:39Speaker 4: again on a on a year where there's an international
- 7:43Speaker 4: tournament in the previous summer. You know, guys having limited
- 7:46Speaker 4: time to you know, to get you know, some some
- 7:49Speaker 4: time off, some some rest, some proper rest and having
- 7:52Speaker 4: to just jump back into you know training pre season
- 7:55Speaker 4: and the start of the start of the new season.
- 7:57Speaker 4: These things are expected. So if it could be you know,
- 8:01Speaker 4: results not going in the in the way of you
- 8:04Speaker 4: would have thought to you know, players picking up injuries,
- 8:07Speaker 4: We're already seen you know, some slight injuries for for
- 8:10Speaker 4: certain players. So like I said, these things are expected
- 8:13Speaker 4: and kind I have to just pretty much deal with them, uh,
- 8:16Speaker 4: in these opening is in these opening weeks, and again, guys,
- 8:19Speaker 4: it's still you know, middle to end of August. You know,
- 8:23Speaker 4: the heat in Italy is still at at an all
- 8:26Speaker 4: time high. Right, these players are you know, not only
- 8:30Speaker 4: exhausted from just playing all of last season to whoever
- 8:34Speaker 4: was playing in in you know, European competitions or international
- 8:37Speaker 4: competitions in the summer, coming back to play in you know,
- 8:40Speaker 4: the mid of mid to late August. It's it's not
- 8:43Speaker 4: it's not easy. So again, not excuses and not to
- 8:47Speaker 4: say that you know, players shouldn't play up to uh
- 8:49Speaker 4: you know, their potential and all that, but it's it's
- 8:53Speaker 4: a grind, it's a grind. It's thirty eight weeks and uh,
- 8:56Speaker 4: you know this is only the first one.
- 8:59Speaker 2: I I just looked at it last season after match
- 9:02Speaker 2: A one, Farantino was in first.
- 9:04Speaker 4: So right now, I guess I don't need to stop
- 9:07Speaker 4: the stop the count. Stop the count. I don't know
- 9:09Speaker 4: or lots.
- 9:09Speaker 2: So Atalanta is in first, gold differential the monopolize in nineteenth,
- 9:15Speaker 2: so really stop the count. Please let the memes flow,
- 9:20Speaker 2: send them back down to city of you. But uh listen, Uh,
- 9:25Speaker 2: so our teams. You have a one three nothing, Nelon
- 9:29Speaker 2: two to two and then Roma zero zero. That was
- 9:31Speaker 2: probably the most I guess you could say boring or
- 9:34Speaker 2: insignificant game of the weekend, as zero zero was never fun.
- 9:37Speaker 2: And obviously we just talked about Verona Beatingnopoly three nothing.
- 9:41Speaker 2: But you know what, we'll do our our typical round table.
- 9:44Speaker 2: I might as well start with you because it was interesting.
- 9:47Speaker 2: You know, even just even just the lineup before the
- 9:50Speaker 2: game of of who of who started there were you know,
- 9:55Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say I was a bit shocked because
- 9:58Speaker 2: the depth right now is not there. There's still you know,
- 10:00Speaker 2: buying guys for the summer. There's so many guys that
- 10:02Speaker 2: are locked out of the club right now. Like you know,
- 10:04Speaker 2: obviously we just talked about Kiza for an example, but
- 10:09Speaker 2: but someone like I hope I'm saying the name right, Mangoolah,
- 10:14Speaker 2: not even kidding. I saw a line up. I didn't
- 10:17Speaker 2: know who this player was. I'm not even kidding. I
- 10:19Speaker 2: didn't know who this player was. I know there's a
- 10:21Speaker 2: lot of youth players that you've has. I can't say
- 10:24Speaker 2: if all the youth team, I can't say if all
- 10:25Speaker 2: that the next gen team. And I sent it to
- 10:29Speaker 2: to AJ and I said, who is this guy? You know,
- 10:33Speaker 2: who's this guy starting? Twenty minutes later he scores, and
- 10:35Speaker 2: I'm like, damn, you know, maybe maybe I got to
- 10:38Speaker 2: question every single v player starting and then they're gonna
- 10:41Speaker 2: they're gonna go out and score. But for a player
- 10:43Speaker 2: like him to come into the team and have an
- 10:45Speaker 2: impact I was really happy with because I'm guessing he's
- 10:48Speaker 2: left winger. I really don't know his full player profile.
- 10:52Speaker 2: But if you could come in and basically replace Kasa
- 10:54Speaker 2: on the left side, that's perfect. That's perfect. I don't
- 10:57Speaker 2: know if he can maintain that, you know, for a
- 11:00Speaker 2: whole season, or or even when they play Champions League.
- 11:03Speaker 2: I don't know. If let's say, I know with Kiza,
- 11:08Speaker 2: we've talked about him before, how he's gone down and
- 11:12Speaker 2: he and he definitely wasn't a player that could play
- 11:15Speaker 2: a whole season. So at least if this Mango Mangola
- 11:19Speaker 2: could play a whole season, even just at an average level,
- 11:23Speaker 2: I think it's good because you right now, they're not
- 11:25Speaker 2: in the spot to to have guys who were often injured,
- 11:28Speaker 2: you know what I mean. Uh So I was happy
- 11:30Speaker 2: to see him, and then obviously other goals from from
- 11:32Speaker 2: where I think apparently that was his first goal I
- 11:35Speaker 2: remember correctly. For Juve, I could be wrong though, and
- 11:39Speaker 2: then camp Cambiaso right at the end Vavic did score
- 11:42Speaker 2: ruled off side, But I think overall, you know, three
- 11:45Speaker 2: nothing win is happy it. I'm not gonna lie. I
- 11:48Speaker 2: started off a bit rough. I wasn't happy with the start.
- 11:51Speaker 2: They look like they're struggling, kind of like their preseason games.
- 11:53Speaker 2: But then you know, it picked up at the end.
- 11:55Speaker 2: I think, on the other hand, for Como, you could tell,
- 11:57Speaker 2: like I said earlier, haven't played together, so you know,
- 12:01Speaker 2: to come out, you know, into Youno at the Atlanta
- 12:03Speaker 2: stadium against a big team for your first city game
- 12:07Speaker 2: in over twenty years. For Como, it's it's tough. And
- 12:11Speaker 2: so for them, if you know, they want to stay
- 12:13Speaker 2: in the city off, they want to finish in the
- 12:14Speaker 2: top ten Jenney, They're gonna have to get points more
- 12:16Speaker 2: against teams like like you're in Tina, Genoa even I'm
- 12:19Speaker 2: gonna throwing Bologna there. But these games against Juve me Line, Internapoli, Atalanta,
- 12:24Speaker 2: it's it's a bit harder, but you know, happy with
- 12:28Speaker 2: the result for you a, but I want to see this,
- 12:30Speaker 2: Like you guys just said, you've won three nothing in
- 12:32Speaker 2: the past two season openers. Let's see this three nothing
- 12:35Speaker 2: win in week two, in week three and week four.
- 12:37Speaker 2: Let's let's see consistency, you know, pump the breaks a
- 12:40Speaker 2: bit on on the hype of the team that Mangola
- 12:43Speaker 2: is gonna win the ball ondor that uh look Attelli's
- 12:47Speaker 2: revitalizes in that. Well, let's see they play Roman two weeks.
- 12:51Speaker 2: I think that's there, that's gonna that's gonna be the
- 12:53Speaker 2: real test.
- 12:55Speaker 4: I think even just for the for the kid there
- 12:57Speaker 4: Bla whatever that his name is there, not only is
- 13:01Speaker 4: it you know, you're talking about him replacing Kiz on
- 13:06Speaker 4: the pitch. It could, it could, It could be beneficial
- 13:08Speaker 4: if he continues at this at this rate and then
- 13:10Speaker 4: off the pitch as well, in terms of terms of money,
- 13:12Speaker 4: in terms of in terms of the business. Right, obviously
- 13:14Speaker 4: he has the whole big thing with kizas that not
- 13:17Speaker 4: only was he uniting Monta's plans, as he made it
- 13:20Speaker 4: very clear, you know, obviously it was another another thing
- 13:23Speaker 4: to attach that is the money value of it, you know,
- 13:25Speaker 4: the salary that he's the manding and and and stuff
- 13:28Speaker 4: for that nature. So this is a young player. Again,
- 13:31Speaker 4: I'm not sure how old he is. I don't even
- 13:33Speaker 4: know if he's twenty, and his team's lay teams, but
- 13:36Speaker 4: just to say he's coming into an opportunity and right
- 13:39Speaker 4: after bat he took advantage of it. Again, I agree
- 13:42Speaker 4: with Nick. Is it gonna last all, you know, thirty
- 13:44Speaker 4: eight games? We don't know. But again it's it's something
- 13:50Speaker 4: that you know, with these big teams, we don't see
- 13:53Speaker 4: a lot of you know, giving the chance to the
- 13:56Speaker 4: to the youths, as we like to say, two youths,
- 14:00Speaker 4: two youths, uh my my cousin any reference always but No,
- 14:09Speaker 4: it's a good thing to see. I mean, obviously we
- 14:11Speaker 4: like to see when it's young Italians gang those gain
- 14:14Speaker 4: those chances. But you know, the youth, the youth project
- 14:18Speaker 4: across Italy for these top clubs, it's not something that
- 14:22Speaker 4: you know, at the city level we see very often.
- 14:24Speaker 4: If this, if this kid can get to get the opportunities,
- 14:27Speaker 4: you know, good for him. But I think the bigger
- 14:29Speaker 4: thing is is is the business aspect to it? The
- 14:34Speaker 4: money about you? And I don't know what he's making
- 14:36Speaker 4: per week, but it's definitely nowhere near as to what
- 14:39Speaker 4: he has would be making or or or wanted to
- 14:41Speaker 4: be making. Event is going forward, so I think it's
- 14:43Speaker 4: good for business. Uh, you know, for for you as well,
- 14:47Speaker 4: not aspect.
- 14:48Speaker 2: It's business, not personal.
- 14:50Speaker 4: It's only business.
- 14:53Speaker 2: Uh uh, let's go to the other side. Uh not
- 14:56Speaker 2: believe Verona three nothing again, Jenny. I know you were
- 14:59Speaker 2: away this weekend. You're judging uh Yu Gyo in California,
- 15:03Speaker 2: so you probably didn't get the opportunity to watch the game.
- 15:05Speaker 4: Right, No, I didn't.
- 15:06Speaker 3: I you saw highlights, Unfortunately, I was busy working.
- 15:10Speaker 4: Low lights.
- 15:11Speaker 2: What did you make of those mid lights?
- 15:14Speaker 4: Mid those lights?
- 15:17Speaker 3: Defensive disaster class. That's probably the best way I can Uh,
- 15:21Speaker 3: I can describe it mess in the midfield, messing, mess
- 15:24Speaker 3: in the back. Uh. It just did not like everyone
- 15:28Speaker 3: looks so out of place, a lot of work, A
- 15:32Speaker 3: lot of those goals shouldn't have happened. Like to a
- 15:34Speaker 3: lot of those goals, there's three of them, all three
- 15:35Speaker 3: shouldn't have happened. But what can you do right? Poor coverage, uh,
- 15:40Speaker 3: black of communicy communication. That's that's basically what I take
- 15:44Speaker 3: away from that game itself. Definitely work needs to be done.
- 15:48Speaker 3: So I can't really describe much more from there because,
- 15:53Speaker 3: like I said, I didn't get a chance to watch
- 15:54Speaker 3: the game. Uh, and I landed back yesterday noon and
- 15:58Speaker 3: I was burnt out because the red eye flights don't
- 16:01Speaker 3: let me sleep apparently. And yeah, so but from what
- 16:04Speaker 3: I saw, it's definitely a forgettable game.
- 16:07Speaker 4: Uh.
- 16:08Speaker 3: You know, the same thing like we like we talked
- 16:10Speaker 3: about last year. I feel like where it's like start
- 16:11Speaker 3: of season was really rough.
- 16:12Speaker 5: And you're like, okay forgetting to move on, but they
- 16:15Speaker 5: really don't want to have another repeat of last season
- 16:17Speaker 5: this year, especially when you actually have a proper coach,
- 16:20Speaker 5: because now that you have a proper coach, right, It's
- 16:23Speaker 5: it's like.
- 16:24Speaker 4: It's no more excuses.
- 16:26Speaker 3: There's no more excuses Like last year you had the
- 16:28Speaker 3: benefit of, you know, like losing a good coach and
- 16:30Speaker 3: you have to replace the last minute and you go
- 16:32Speaker 3: through multiple coaching changes, whereas now it's like, well, now
- 16:35Speaker 3: you actually have a solid coach, you know, so what
- 16:40Speaker 3: can it be Now can you really argue for the
- 16:43Speaker 3: fact of coaching or is there something else that's going
- 16:47Speaker 3: to be going on. So that's that's what That's what
- 16:51Speaker 3: I hope that content and do can help fix this
- 16:53Speaker 3: situation with the team.
- 16:55Speaker 4: Yeah, I think it's definitely it's definitely back to the
- 16:57Speaker 4: drawing boards. I think, like again, like Nick said alluded
- 17:01Speaker 4: to earlier on in the show, it's it's all these teams,
- 17:04Speaker 4: you know, are just getting back together, some new faces,
- 17:06Speaker 4: some old faces, you know, meshed them out together and
- 17:09Speaker 4: and you know at the beginning of the seasons you
- 17:11Speaker 4: really have to just hope that that cohesiveness cohesiveness works
- 17:14Speaker 4: off the bat. And there's a dog in the background.
- 17:18Speaker 3: That's that's my dog for you minds upstairs.
- 17:21Speaker 4: He hasn't parked yet, so if we are another dog,
- 17:23Speaker 4: it might be mine. But but we just have to
- 17:27Speaker 4: hope that that cohesiveness, you know, and that all these
- 17:30Speaker 4: players and coaching and ideas you know Jeb from from
- 17:33Speaker 4: the get go, and unfortunately again might say when it
- 17:36Speaker 4: wasn't Napolis Napolis day. But I'm I don't think this
- 17:42Speaker 4: is gonna sum up the whole season this one game
- 17:45Speaker 4: against Verona. But again, chap to Verona, right, Moscerra. I
- 17:48Speaker 4: think Nikko was the guy that we had seen at
- 17:51Speaker 4: a cafe Italia when we made our way down to
- 17:53Speaker 4: little literally uh in Montreal. Moscerra, I mean again, a
- 17:58Speaker 4: name that you know, you don't know about, you don't
- 18:00Speaker 4: hear about. I think just came onto the team, onto
- 18:02Speaker 4: the scene at the Verona and hell of a debut,
- 18:06Speaker 4: gets a gets a brace, and you know he is
- 18:10Speaker 4: able to is able to help. I don want to
- 18:12Speaker 4: pick up their their first three points of of this
- 18:14Speaker 4: Citia campaign, So shop out to them. It's it's who's
- 18:18Speaker 4: the quoted Zetti? Yeah? Right? Zanetti a manager that's had
- 18:25Speaker 4: his ups and downs as of late. Uh some some
- 18:28Speaker 4: some highs and some some really weird lows as well,
- 18:31Speaker 4: uh in these in this recent past. So to get
- 18:34Speaker 4: off off off the season running on at a hot start.
- 18:39Speaker 4: For for him and for Verona, is is definitely a
- 18:41Speaker 4: plus a team that usually flutters with that right side
- 18:45Speaker 4: of the table relegation zones. It's a good start, but again,
- 18:50Speaker 4: it's not how you start, how you finish. The cliche
- 18:52Speaker 4: saying goes so, uh, there's a long season to go.
- 18:55Speaker 2: Yeah, you want to talk about an instant impact. Daniel
- 18:59Speaker 2: Musquerra and Daylon lever Mental each scoring goals in their debuts.
- 19:04Speaker 2: These are guys that Verona bought in the summer for
- 19:07Speaker 2: undisclosed fees. Uh. You know, you can't even find how
- 19:10Speaker 2: much they bought them for online. I'm sure that you
- 19:12Speaker 2: can find info somewhere, but you know that's when you
- 19:14Speaker 2: know it's under the I hope.
- 19:16Speaker 4: So that sounds a bit a bit a bit suspicious.
- 19:20Speaker 4: But no, no.
- 19:23Speaker 2: Wescara from coming from America to Cali and leave her
- 19:27Speaker 2: Mental from Mastrik in the Netherlands. So you know, these
- 19:33Speaker 2: are transfers that were probably on page seventy two of
- 19:36Speaker 2: the gazetta when they happened, and they come on and
- 19:38Speaker 2: have an instant impact with three goals for Verona. Moving
- 19:44Speaker 2: on Melon, this was a game that I'm sure STRESSI
- 19:46Speaker 2: owed Agiano that Leland had to come back from down
- 19:50Speaker 2: to nothing and ended up trying to to which I
- 19:53Speaker 2: was surprised about. I thought, you know, I wasn't. I
- 19:55Speaker 2: didn't really watch it, but I was kind of following
- 19:57Speaker 2: along the scores online and I saw too nothing one
- 20:00Speaker 2: point and then two to one. I saw, you know,
- 20:04Speaker 2: ninety something minute after Okay, they're gonna lose to one,
- 20:06Speaker 2: and then I checked later saying it was too too
- 20:08Speaker 2: It's like, holy shit, you know, but O before tied
- 20:11Speaker 2: it up right at the end. But I don't think,
- 20:14Speaker 2: you know, I don't think this is a game that
- 20:16Speaker 2: fun test fun tech. I wanted to start with the
- 20:18Speaker 2: melon fans wanted to start with with this new era,
- 20:20Speaker 2: so must must be frustrating. But again, first game.
- 20:24Speaker 4: Yeah, first game. I think that's kind of the story
- 20:27Speaker 4: of this episode for First Match Day. So let's pump
- 20:30Speaker 4: the brakes and kind of ease into the city season.
- 20:34Speaker 4: But yeah, it was not not the ideal start that
- 20:38Speaker 4: you want. Kind of like Johnny alluded to for for Anapu,
- 20:42Speaker 4: I mean, uh, you know, the only saving grace for
- 20:45Speaker 4: for me one's sake and maybe for Roma's sake, is
- 20:48Speaker 4: you know, it's it's one point rather than none. Should
- 20:51Speaker 4: have been three, but we'll take the one. I guess,
- 20:54Speaker 4: uh yeah, just not not this. I mean the Star
- 20:57Speaker 4: was interesting because I liked it was very queer early
- 21:00Speaker 4: on that you know from SECA system is really pushing
- 21:05Speaker 4: you know this this this attacking football and uh, you know,
- 21:08Speaker 4: really everybody everybody coming back, coming back on defense and
- 21:12Speaker 4: really kind of the unit going forward, you know, like
- 21:15Speaker 4: forward and back seems to be cohesive, and they had
- 21:18Speaker 4: their chances early on and they're really putting on some
- 21:21Speaker 4: some decent pressure going going forward and uh in the
- 21:24Speaker 4: first you know, twenty odd minutes of the game. But
- 21:28Speaker 4: you know, come you know, all the chances you can
- 21:31Speaker 4: have is fine, but you need to be able to capitalize.
- 21:34Speaker 4: Me And I think at the end of the game,
- 21:36Speaker 4: watching on on on Football TV, I think that the
- 21:40Speaker 4: graphics showed at the end they had twenty shout out
- 21:43Speaker 4: fo TV, come on if you're listening, shout out. But no,
- 21:50Speaker 4: I like the graphics this year. I know, I mean
- 21:51Speaker 4: they kind of spoke about it over the weekend, but
- 21:54Speaker 4: you know, pretty nice graphics that they got going on
- 21:56Speaker 4: this season. I think work needs to be done with
- 21:59Speaker 4: the coverage you know and post game, pre game all
- 22:02Speaker 4: that type of stuff. But the graphic at the end,
- 22:05Speaker 4: I'm pretty show, pretty sure showed twenty six shots total
- 22:07Speaker 4: and only six on target, right, so the opportunities were there.
- 22:11Speaker 4: The finishing obviously wasn't until the last five six minutes
- 22:15Speaker 4: of the game, so again not the ideal start. People
- 22:20Speaker 4: had already questions when the SATN eleven came out. We
- 22:23Speaker 4: saw solo makers a k slia Maker at left back
- 22:27Speaker 4: over tail Ornandez. Again. Not seeing Tailor in the lineup
- 22:32Speaker 4: was I know, sometimes maybe we're confused or whatever. Again,
- 22:36Speaker 4: a guy who came into preseason late, uh you know,
- 22:39Speaker 4: joined the team later, you know, had a had a
- 22:42Speaker 4: pretty decent run, you know, in in the Euros with France,
- 22:48Speaker 4: came to the team weight Like I said, so, uh,
- 22:51Speaker 4: you know, not seeing him from a minute one was
- 22:54Speaker 4: was not what we were really used to. But he
- 22:58Speaker 4: came on later, had a had an impact. Celsi Maker
- 23:01Speaker 4: is not a left back, unfortunately, I don't think he listen.
- 23:05Speaker 4: I like him that he's he's dispensed, he can go
- 23:07Speaker 4: all over the place. He has many different roles and
- 23:10Speaker 4: he's he has no problem playing in any role. But
- 23:14Speaker 4: I think that experiment, you know, I think we can
- 23:18Speaker 4: maybe put it behind us and unless we're really desperate,
- 23:21Speaker 4: maybe put him back there. But going forward it's nice,
- 23:25Speaker 4: But coming back on defense, it shows that, you know,
- 23:27Speaker 4: those defensive capabilities are not there, you know, the first
- 23:31Speaker 4: the first goal being the only goal, like Chaw again,
- 23:36Speaker 4: still a rookie mistake. This is I think year three
- 23:38Speaker 4: going with Chau at the back in and out of
- 23:41Speaker 4: the lineup, rookie mistake. I think in terms of in
- 23:44Speaker 4: terms of clearing that ball, just a mess at the feet,
- 23:48Speaker 4: put it behind the line and try to clear it
- 23:50Speaker 4: to just wasn't the start that we wanted. And then
- 23:55Speaker 4: I think again going back to the second goal, color
- 24:00Speaker 4: not not you know, being present, on on on on
- 24:05Speaker 4: on the wing back crossing in that ball and Duvanzapata
- 24:09Speaker 4: nine times out of ten you leave him open. He's
- 24:11Speaker 4: scoring aheader from close range and he goes right between
- 24:15Speaker 4: I think it was Tomorian and tail or Chaw and
- 24:19Speaker 4: tail whoever, it was right through both of them and
- 24:24Speaker 4: Slaughter at home. Uneasy header. So again not to start
- 24:28Speaker 4: that we wanted, like I said, But I think the
- 24:32Speaker 4: finish and the resilience to to even come back, because
- 24:35Speaker 4: in seasons past this wouldn't have happened. I think as
- 24:38Speaker 4: of late, even under Pioli, we saw some resilience in
- 24:42Speaker 4: games where we were kind of out of it, we're
- 24:44Speaker 4: able to kind of come back and salvage something. This
- 24:47Speaker 4: was the same sort of case in Fonseca's debut match.
- 24:53Speaker 4: You know, Morata is is the replacement for for Jiu. Unfortunately,
- 24:58Speaker 4: he will be uh probably sidelined maybe for a couple
- 25:01Speaker 4: of weeks that they're they're reporting potentially three weeks, so
- 25:05Speaker 4: we'll be without him according to the reports. But hey,
- 25:09Speaker 4: you know, he comes in for his debut after taking
- 25:13Speaker 4: off Yovich who had just a nothing game, uh and
- 25:16Speaker 4: made an impact. We're going to need him when he's
- 25:19Speaker 4: healthy and when he's on the pitch, we're gonna need
- 25:21Speaker 4: him to come up in big moments. And he got
- 25:24Speaker 4: his debut goal. And then I think just the super
- 25:26Speaker 4: sub of Oka for has been huge, and only just
- 25:30Speaker 4: in this game, but in the past he's come on
- 25:32Speaker 4: and and produced some big goals at some pretty crucial moments.
- 25:36Speaker 4: Or you know, if it's not a goal, it's an assist,
- 25:38Speaker 4: or if it's just uh, you know, a dribble or
- 25:41Speaker 4: what have you, whatever it may be. He seems to
- 25:44Speaker 4: be that super sub that can that can help waiting games.
- 25:47Speaker 4: And he showed it, you know, over the weekend. Uh
- 25:52Speaker 4: you know, just hel just held a play. But yeah, listen,
- 25:57Speaker 4: another thing. I just want to shout out and if
- 25:59Speaker 4: anybody's watching show from the past up until now, you
- 26:02Speaker 4: know how I feel about the VAR, how I felt
- 26:04Speaker 4: about the VAR. But I think opening weekend, again, I
- 26:08Speaker 4: didn't see all the games, so I didn't see all
- 26:09Speaker 4: the drama. But in the games that I did watch
- 26:11Speaker 4: or I kind of did pay attention to, the right
- 26:13Speaker 4: call seem to have been made by using the VAR.
- 26:16Speaker 4: I don't know if you guys saw that at all,
- 26:17Speaker 4: but I saw an inter game, uh the VAR. The
- 26:20Speaker 4: VAR was used properly, and I think even in the
- 26:21Speaker 4: Melan game, the bar was used properly in terms of
- 26:25Speaker 4: in terms of offside or no goal goal on technology
- 26:29Speaker 4: that wasn't working, but they went back to the bar
- 26:31Speaker 4: showed it was the goal. So I don't think there
- 26:34Speaker 4: was any gray zones so far. This is only match
- 26:37Speaker 4: day one, and again, excuse me if I if I'm
- 26:39Speaker 4: missing something from other games. That I probably am. But
- 26:43Speaker 4: overall for Melan, I think it's it's a one game
- 26:47Speaker 4: aunt of time. I always say it, uh like STVP
- 26:50Speaker 4: says for me on weekly part and manage our expectations
- 26:52Speaker 4: with Melan week by week. I think that's going to
- 26:55Speaker 4: kind of have to be the you know, the overall,
- 26:59Speaker 4: the overall point of of this season, because I don't
- 27:01Speaker 4: again I predicted meanline. I think third. I think I
- 27:06Speaker 4: don't know if we all have them in the top four.
- 27:07Speaker 4: I believe we all have them in the top four.
- 27:09Speaker 4: But it's gonna be a it's gonna be a long season.
- 27:12Speaker 4: And I think this this fun second era, has its
- 27:15Speaker 4: glimpses of of of positive football. But again we still
- 27:18Speaker 4: need help defensively. We can't leave Mania out to drive
- 27:22Speaker 4: because again, if it's not up to Mania making some
- 27:25Speaker 4: some saves. Again, this is another story where we don't
- 27:27Speaker 4: pick up any points. We all opening weekend zero points, uh,
- 27:33Speaker 4: you know, just a nothing game and have to go
- 27:36Speaker 4: on onto the next one against Potto mun and hope
- 27:38Speaker 4: for hope for the best. But we'll take the one
- 27:42Speaker 4: and and and move on. You know, you want you
- 27:47Speaker 4: you know, it's kind of the reference of you know,
- 27:50Speaker 4: you know, leave the gun, take the Conoli. I don't know.
- 27:53Speaker 4: I wanted the three points and not just the one.
- 27:55Speaker 4: So it's it's, it's it's it's a bit of a
- 27:58Speaker 4: clash on that, but uh yeah, we move. But I
- 28:02Speaker 4: think it's still positive even though there are some negatives,
- 28:05Speaker 4: there are some positives still for opening. Actually from you on.
- 28:10Speaker 2: Johanny, I don't know if you have anything about roma zerocality.
- 28:14Speaker 3: It was just more like Roma just and just like
- 28:16Speaker 3: not finishing their chances once again. Wasn't able to see
- 28:21Speaker 3: the game it was on. I'm only like making my
- 28:23Speaker 3: predictions from watching highlights and stuff, but it just it
- 28:27Speaker 3: felt like as if it was just more of a
- 28:30Speaker 3: game where Roma just couldn't complete things, and when he
- 28:32Speaker 3: finally did, the goal was offside. So I'm liking what
- 28:36Speaker 3: I'm seeing so far. I'm liking it seems to it
- 28:39Speaker 3: seems to it seems fit, seems like it fits more
- 28:42Speaker 3: than what Napoli's current situation is right now, even though
- 28:45Speaker 3: Napoli got more players this offseason, so we'll see further
- 28:51Speaker 3: on down the line. I think this zero zero game
- 28:53Speaker 3: is not a cost for Alarm. I think it's a
- 28:56Speaker 3: very it's an okay result except for now. Hope doesn't
- 29:00Speaker 3: continue from here. But I'm not I'm not too worried
- 29:05Speaker 3: about it. I'm not too worried about it.
- 29:10Speaker 2: You're saying about var you know, I agree with the
- 29:13Speaker 2: inter one. I was watching that live, and as soon
- 29:16Speaker 2: as I saw that handball, I thought, okay, maybe two
- 29:17Speaker 2: three years ago they wouldn't have called this because you know,
- 29:20Speaker 2: it's such a bang bang play. But I'm happy they
- 29:23Speaker 2: did because it was clear the handball, like it clearly
- 29:26Speaker 2: hit his hand before his head, you know, so obviously
- 29:28Speaker 2: his hand was in an unnatural position, so I'm happy
- 29:31Speaker 2: that they did so, you know, clearly, uh Marota's payment
- 29:35Speaker 2: didn't go through to the league yet, so until then
- 29:38Speaker 2: we still got a proper city.
- 29:39Speaker 4: It bounced it exactly, It bounced the track there exactly.
- 29:44Speaker 2: But apparently Valovic's goal should have you know, apparently.
- 29:50Speaker 4: Okay, I didn't see that, so if you're gonna say it,
- 29:52Speaker 4: so I take maybe I take back what I said,
- 29:54Speaker 4: But because.
- 29:54Speaker 2: Didn't, I've tried watching a few times. They didn't rule
- 30:00Speaker 2: Vich offside. It was on an earlier pass and it's
- 30:02Speaker 2: very close and apparently the player that used for the offside.
- 30:05Speaker 2: It was the wrong player again. Again, I don't know.
- 30:07Speaker 2: And again, you know, this is a game that you've
- 30:09Speaker 2: been finished through nothing, so there's really not much. You know,
- 30:12Speaker 2: let's a discourse online, but you know whatever, it's interesting
- 30:17Speaker 2: how apparently that happened. You know, it was a past
- 30:20Speaker 2: the Cambiaza cambiaso. Why before the goal he was you know,
- 30:24Speaker 2: I remember watching live they showed his shoulder was offside.
- 30:27Speaker 4: His arm pit.
- 30:31Speaker 2: It helps my anti Volvich agenda. I guess.
- 30:35Speaker 4: That's still one positive.
- 30:38Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys have any you know,
- 30:41Speaker 2: I guess surprise team, supply surprise players from this weekend
- 30:44Speaker 2: because I think for me, uh, Atlanta coming out it
- 30:48Speaker 2: was a two goal two goals from Briciani again, Briscanini
- 30:53Speaker 2: sorry again, uh two two new players that Atalanta acquired
- 30:57Speaker 2: this season, kind of like how Verona had go from
- 31:00Speaker 2: their new from their new player. So that's fantastic. And
- 31:02Speaker 2: this is the team that you know, we talked about
- 31:06Speaker 2: it last week. They went out and and got right
- 31:08Speaker 2: to be almost. I wonder if it was in response
- 31:10Speaker 2: to Scamaka getting hurt, and you know, yeah, yeah, it
- 31:13Speaker 2: has to be. And then and then obviously they bringing Zaniolo.
- 31:16Speaker 2: I don't know if Sanielo played on the weekend, but
- 31:21Speaker 2: but yeah, like you know, doesn't seem like they're the
- 31:24Speaker 2: one team that doesn't seem like they missed a step.
- 31:26Speaker 2: But you know, if you look at the three new
- 31:29Speaker 2: teams in in in Citia, Vanezia, but I think Vanezia
- 31:32Speaker 2: lost to Latzo, but Parma, Parma won, sorry, tied against Fiorentina.
- 31:37Speaker 2: They they scored first Dennis Mann, who was you know, okay,
- 31:42Speaker 2: I'm not gonna say a star player at the Euros,
- 31:44Speaker 2: but you know, he was an important player for Romania
- 31:46Speaker 2: at the Euros. And he comes back into the city
- 31:48Speaker 2: with with with Parma and he scores first goal of
- 31:52Speaker 2: the season in the city. It was a beautiful goal.
- 31:55Speaker 2: And you know, just watching them, they actually looked like
- 31:57Speaker 2: a good team. And you know what Partma is a
- 31:59Speaker 2: team that last time they were in the first season
- 32:02Speaker 2: they did well, second season they did well. I think
- 32:04Speaker 2: it was in their third season they got relegated again.
- 32:07Speaker 2: But you know, this is a team, they have a
- 32:08Speaker 2: lot of history that I have a bit of a
- 32:11Speaker 2: soft spot for Parma that you know, I'd love to
- 32:13Speaker 2: see them do well, of.
- 32:14Speaker 3: Course because they funded. You've so many players throughout the years.
- 32:19Speaker 2: Who falling kind of viral.
- 32:23Speaker 3: They're basically that backline that helped you, you guys establish
- 32:26Speaker 3: a bit of dominance in the late two the mid
- 32:28Speaker 3: two thousand.
- 32:29Speaker 2: Uh yeah, but no, we'll see, we'll see, you know,
- 32:35Speaker 2: if they could keep it up or whatnot. But you know,
- 32:37Speaker 2: between Atalanta and part I think they're the two teams
- 32:39Speaker 2: that I guess you can say impress me.
- 32:42Speaker 4: For Atalanta. I mean, like we said earlier, I mean
- 32:46Speaker 4: there's guys that come in right away and make an
- 32:49Speaker 4: impact instantly, or there's guys that take some time, uh
- 32:52Speaker 4: to to to get to get going and to get
- 32:55Speaker 4: the you know, the batteries going and the more to running.
- 32:57Speaker 4: But again shout out to think for me maybe kind
- 33:02Speaker 4: of like a co uh you know, every piece of
- 33:05Speaker 4: the week. I mean those two guys are the Taggi
- 33:07Speaker 4: and uh Bresciani. I mean, just incredible, incredible. Just Scott
- 33:13Speaker 4: signed Atlanta. I think he's doing again this is what
- 33:17Speaker 4: happens when we when you do prediction shows before the
- 33:21Speaker 4: Merkato closes, because there again they're having a sneaky Merkato
- 33:26Speaker 4: that again is I don't know if it's going under
- 33:27Speaker 4: the radar, but it seems like every day you open
- 33:30Speaker 4: social media, it's somebody knew that they're that they're getting.
- 33:33Speaker 4: It seems like all but official of the coup miners
- 33:36Speaker 4: deal going to Juve.
- 33:38Speaker 1: Uh.
- 33:38Speaker 4: That'll get those funds. But you know, Scamaka goes down.
- 33:42Speaker 4: Uh you know you're bringing the TAGI uh, which I
- 33:46Speaker 4: think is a brilliant move and I think he'll if
- 33:48Speaker 4: he continued at this pace, he's gonna have a hell
- 33:49Speaker 4: of a season.
- 33:51Speaker 3: Uh.
- 33:51Speaker 4: The deal hijacking from Napoli. Like we said just before
- 33:54Speaker 4: we got on here, we seemed to have it done
- 33:58Speaker 4: and Atalanta swooped in and and picked them up.
- 34:01Speaker 3: Uh.
- 34:02Speaker 4: You know, like we said earlier, a good a good
- 34:05Speaker 4: season for Frozen, made them, made them move to a
- 34:09Speaker 4: to a bigger club. So far, so good debut. Brace
- 34:13Speaker 4: for him today or yesterday when I don't remember when
- 34:18Speaker 4: it was San Marcic from they're picking up. They picked
- 34:22Speaker 4: up again. Milan looked like they wanted him again. Atalanta
- 34:28Speaker 4: the just doing some business that I don't know if
- 34:31Speaker 4: where it's coming from, how it's going on, or what's
- 34:33Speaker 4: going on, but it just seems to be working and
- 34:37Speaker 4: then Bella Nova it seems to be all all but
- 34:39Speaker 4: wrapped up as well, which again for their system under Gasparinia,
- 34:43Speaker 4: I think can work wonders, you know, going up and
- 34:46Speaker 4: down the flanks, the right flank opposite side of Ruggertti
- 34:51Speaker 4: to Italian young Italian wing box. I think is dangerous
- 34:54Speaker 4: for this Atalanta team under Gasparina. I think it's gonna work.
- 34:59Speaker 4: It's gonna work. Brillian, You're still you're still missing a
- 35:02Speaker 4: guy like come back to like I said, out with
- 35:03Speaker 4: injury Scavini, I think will be back. I think by
- 35:07Speaker 4: the new year, you know, December maybe if I'm not
- 35:10Speaker 4: mistaken from what I was hearing. So and then Lukeman
- 35:13Speaker 4: is he in is the out? You know? Phg I
- 35:16Speaker 4: think it was that seemed to be interested and and
- 35:19Speaker 4: try to get him. Now it's kind of cooling down
- 35:22Speaker 4: a bit so a Tanta not only on the pitch,
- 35:24Speaker 4: but I think off the pitch too in terms of
- 35:26Speaker 4: their business Sneaky Mekato and it's not it's not over,
- 35:29Speaker 4: so I don't know if anything else happens for them.
- 35:33Speaker 4: But again, players that are are are city have proven
- 35:36Speaker 4: players young still that can that could group some damage
- 35:41Speaker 4: under a team like like Atalanta andnder Gaspardini that we've
- 35:44Speaker 4: always said has has really shaped these these younger players
- 35:49Speaker 4: that kind of are able to kind of make mistakes
- 35:52Speaker 4: and and and still grow.
- 35:54Speaker 3: Uh.
- 35:55Speaker 4: You know, you don't have the pressures of a Milan,
- 35:57Speaker 4: a juve An inter so I think that that that's huge.
- 36:03Speaker 4: But another one for me I think is again match
- 36:06Speaker 4: day one, not the ideal opponent, but again came back
- 36:09Speaker 4: from from from an early deficit there Laso for me
- 36:14Speaker 4: three to one. Uh going down early to Vanessa is
- 36:17Speaker 4: never a site that you want to see as a
- 36:19Speaker 4: Loto fan, but again pulled it together. Uhs Takani look
- 36:25Speaker 4: to be uh look to be starting off the season
- 36:28Speaker 4: on the right foot and under again another new manager
- 36:31Speaker 4: at a at a top club, uh in in Baroni.
- 36:36Speaker 4: I don't know. Again, I didn't I didn't really see
- 36:39Speaker 4: the game. I saw more of the highlights and just
- 36:40Speaker 4: kind of what the buzz online. But it seems to
- 36:43Speaker 4: be positive so far. Again, how will this continue? Uh
- 36:48Speaker 4: the continuity throughout the season. We'll see. But I would
- 36:52Speaker 4: I would also shout out besides the me, next shouting
- 36:55Speaker 4: out Atalanta him partma I would also say Laso kind
- 36:59Speaker 4: of gets storn.
- 36:59Speaker 2: Into that mix for me, You, Jenny, any any shutouts.
- 37:06Speaker 3: Well genera coming back to ty T versus Inter, Yeah, huge,
- 37:09Speaker 3: You're right, Yeah, I think it's a very big thing
- 37:13Speaker 3: to say, because well, I mean, was it Milan that
- 37:16Speaker 3: was down too old and tied it? Or was it
- 37:18Speaker 3: that was not too old and tightened? Okay, well, I
- 37:21Speaker 3: mean still General Ty and Inter is pretty big for them,
- 37:23Speaker 3: you know. It's uh, it's it's I forget how that
- 37:28Speaker 3: one one? I'll pull it up, pull it up right now.
- 37:32Speaker 2: I think I think I think Inter was up to nothing.
- 37:36Speaker 2: I mean, let's see here, I'm pulling up right now.
- 37:39Speaker 3: So it's one zero Genua, then then one one, then
- 37:43Speaker 3: two to one Inter and then to to Messias.
- 37:47Speaker 4: Uh tied it up?
- 37:50Speaker 3: Add more to that storyline. Uh uh. Honestly speaking, I
- 37:56Speaker 3: think that deserves a bit of a shout out. You know,
- 38:01Speaker 3: it's something that you know, we're happy to see Genoa
- 38:04Speaker 3: get those results. Shout out to be your friend from
- 38:08Speaker 3: General Club Canada. Uh, you know it's it's we have
- 38:12Speaker 3: a soft spot. I have a soft spot for them,
- 38:14Speaker 3: like Next City you have a soft spot for bottom up. Well,
- 38:16Speaker 3: I have a soft spot for Genoa. I I really
- 38:20Speaker 3: hope that they continue to find some form of success
- 38:23Speaker 3: just to stay up in city and eventually rebuild to
- 38:25Speaker 3: that and just you know, one day, just get that
- 38:27Speaker 3: tense Scudettos that you can have.
- 38:29Speaker 4: For Just get that.
- 38:31Speaker 3: So don long just get that wood star. Just I
- 38:34Speaker 3: don't care if they have to be Napoly and Roma
- 38:36Speaker 3: to get it, like like Napolice gotta finished second or third.
- 38:39Speaker 3: I would even be pissed. I'd be like, you know what,
- 38:41Speaker 3: just to get the general's first star, get that tense scudetto,
- 38:44Speaker 3: that would be fantastic.
- 38:46Speaker 4: Yeah. And no that you know this is this is
- 38:49Speaker 4: a team that lost and Goodmanson in the same window
- 38:53Speaker 4: you to, like we said, and Goodman's and to to Filentina,
- 38:57Speaker 4: uh tour there. Well good intent for sure there their
- 39:01Speaker 4: standout player of the season last year in one window,
- 39:05Speaker 4: losing both of them able to tie the ringing champions,
- 39:08Speaker 4: uh you know in their backyard being in general it
- 39:12Speaker 4: was at the Ferraris. But I think that's that's that's
- 39:15Speaker 4: that's that's huge. And not only that, uh you know,
- 39:20Speaker 4: scoring first, getting scored on twice to go down to
- 39:24Speaker 4: two one, it could have been more, but two offside
- 39:26Speaker 4: goals as well, which again I was, I saw it
- 39:28Speaker 4: they will from what I said, the var got them
- 39:31Speaker 4: both right on the off side for I think it was,
- 39:33Speaker 4: and the Mac I'm not mistaken. And then coming back
- 39:39Speaker 4: on on on the on the way play, you know,
- 39:40Speaker 4: you throw you throw a ball into the box, it
- 39:43Speaker 4: hits the arm quier as they has Nick said, that
- 39:47Speaker 4: was I think b Sex. I think there's a b
- 39:49Speaker 4: Sex arm that that it hit. Uh missus doing me one,
- 39:53Speaker 4: I guess I guess a solid on that one. The
- 39:55Speaker 4: former mill On player uh missing up you know, well,
- 40:00Speaker 4: getting the penalty saved, getting the rebound scoring tying the
- 40:03Speaker 4: game to two, I think is huge. Like Jenny said,
- 40:05Speaker 4: and I have to definitely agree. And and today releasing
- 40:09Speaker 4: their their away kit that I don't know if you
- 40:10Speaker 4: guys saw, but beautiful I saw it earlier today, genera
- 40:14Speaker 4: beautiful Coppa. I mean, just does it again, not the
- 40:19Speaker 4: typical Kappa you know, all down the sleeves and all
- 40:21Speaker 4: down the side and everything, you know, just one on
- 40:24Speaker 4: each but just the concept that these white kids there
- 40:27Speaker 4: and I don't know, it's kind of it kind of
- 40:29Speaker 4: reminds me a bit of of Melan's Away Kit with
- 40:32Speaker 4: a retro badge as well. For Genera, I think it
- 40:34Speaker 4: was just beautiful. So again, shout out to Fabrizzo General Toronto,
- 40:37Speaker 4: our buddy there. Pretty big, pretty big weekend him and
- 40:43Speaker 4: for General. Uh.
- 40:45Speaker 2: Got a couple of questions on social media, first from
- 40:50Speaker 2: our friend Leader from our friend eater. Hi, guys, RIGI
- 40:53Speaker 2: should be the MVP of this past weekend. Can't disagree there? Uh?
- 40:57Speaker 2: And yes should the top teams that drop points B word?
- 41:01Speaker 2: We talked about it.
- 41:02Speaker 4: No, they shouldn't.
- 41:02Speaker 2: It's just matched the one. But yeah, red To, he's
- 41:06Speaker 2: definitely a good shout for m v P. I like this.
- 41:09Speaker 2: I like this question from Nick Fourno. What commercial reasons
- 41:12Speaker 2: excluding money are behind you and prime partnering.
- 41:16Speaker 3: That's very easy, That's very easy.
- 41:18Speaker 2: I mean, like, I'll take it. I'll take it. It's
- 41:26Speaker 2: excluding money. But all partnerships are about money. But I understand,
- 41:30Speaker 2: you know, just exposure, brand exposure. You know you got
- 41:33Speaker 2: ka is Logan Paul or Jake Paul that I think
- 41:35Speaker 2: it's Logan Paul.
- 41:36Speaker 3: It's uh, it's Logan Paul, the w W wrestler.
- 41:39Speaker 2: Yeah, that's Uh, that's part of that brand too. So
- 41:42Speaker 2: you get to these guys with millions of followers on
- 41:45Speaker 2: social media, you know, sponsoring your brand. You know, it
- 41:49Speaker 2: just it it draws eyes, you know that.
- 41:53Speaker 3: Yeah, it's not only that, it's also tapping in untapped market.
- 41:56Speaker 3: Right now, you're bass hard for interrupting. I'm just saying,
- 42:00Speaker 3: like I think the main reason why Juve does this yet, No,
- 42:03Speaker 3: you're completely right that it is just it's marketing.
- 42:05Speaker 2: It's money.
- 42:06Speaker 3: It's getting more, getting the millions to follow them, to
- 42:09Speaker 3: follow Juve as well, or to find out what's going
- 42:11Speaker 3: on with Youve. But they also gave like some ww
- 42:14Speaker 3: wrestlers jerseys like Ray Mystereo and Ray Ripley, which which
- 42:17Speaker 3: hurts my heart because because like Ray Ripley is beautiful,
- 42:21Speaker 3: and I don't want her to wear I don't want
- 42:23Speaker 3: her to wear UVA jersey. Fun fact, she's a half Italian,
- 42:27Speaker 3: half Greek from Australia and she said she would have
- 42:30Speaker 3: played soccer professionally if it wasn't for professional wrestling actually,
- 42:34Speaker 3: so it kind of makes sense for her to get
- 42:35Speaker 3: that and get Ray Mystereo jersey because I guess because
- 42:38Speaker 3: he's Latino and you know, the instead of him getting
- 42:41Speaker 3: him a real jersey, just.
- 42:42Speaker 4: Get him a U age.
- 42:43Speaker 3: I'm kidding, I'm kidding.
- 42:45Speaker 4: I'm making stupid jokes.
- 42:46Speaker 3: But it's it's all about marketing and talking to an
- 42:49Speaker 3: untapped market that really never really looks at things, you know,
- 42:53Speaker 3: like I don't think every wrestling fan is a soccer fan, you.
- 42:59Speaker 4: Know, Like I like, like there are something like not
- 43:01Speaker 4: every soccer fans a wrestling fan, right exactly.
- 43:03Speaker 3: It's just it, But how many I don't. I don't
- 43:06Speaker 3: think I've ever seen like professional soccer teams collaborate with
- 43:12Speaker 3: the ww and throughout the year, maybe once in a
- 43:14Speaker 3: blue mood you might see a premier league team do
- 43:16Speaker 3: something with the WWE or maybe ae W Like you'll
- 43:20Speaker 3: see something like that every once in a while, but
- 43:23Speaker 3: city for city it's almost unheard of, you know. So
- 43:27Speaker 3: I think, honestly speaking, this was just to get like
- 43:30Speaker 3: there's prime for the young kids like like these there's
- 43:32Speaker 3: a lot of young kids that follow h you know,
- 43:35Speaker 3: guys like KSI and Logan.
- 43:36Speaker 4: Paul and whatnot.
- 43:37Speaker 3: So you get those kids involved and you get non
- 43:41Speaker 3: SETIA fans to be like, Okay, what's this team, Well
- 43:43Speaker 3: that's a jersey with jersey that has belonged to all
- 43:45Speaker 3: this team called they're probably gonna say Juventus. You know,
- 43:48Speaker 3: they're gonna because they're gonna pronounce the J but they're
- 43:51Speaker 3: at least it gets people knowing like, oh, I I
- 43:53Speaker 3: know that team when they see it on TV or something,
- 43:55Speaker 3: and to be like the associate that team with the
- 43:58Speaker 3: wrestlers or Prime Energy drink or whatnot. And in case,
- 44:02Speaker 3: you know, if you if you get like like a
- 44:04Speaker 3: million eyes on that and like one hundred two hundred
- 44:07Speaker 3: thousand or whatever and probably exaggerate or even ten thousand
- 44:10Speaker 3: buy a jersey or a shirt merchandise because of that, well,
- 44:13Speaker 3: that's just extra money in your pocket.
- 44:15Speaker 4: You know.
- 44:16Speaker 3: I think it's more for like just expanding your potential
- 44:20Speaker 3: market of of followers for you, for your brand. I
- 44:23Speaker 3: think that's more or less the reason why. Besides money.
- 44:26Speaker 3: Money is the very obvious reason, but you know, I
- 44:30Speaker 3: think it's more about getting those different eyes on your brand.
- 44:34Speaker 4: The brand exposure is huge, right, I mean it's clear
- 44:37Speaker 4: you know your Ventus, you know, it's really these are
- 44:41Speaker 4: businesses guys. Yes, we're they're football clubs. Yes, you know
- 44:44Speaker 4: they go every Sunday and go into the pitch and
- 44:47Speaker 4: play the sport that we love, the beautiful game. But
- 44:50Speaker 4: these are businesses at the end of the day, and
- 44:53Speaker 4: again the doll or value at the end of the
- 44:55Speaker 4: day is the most important. And you know, I think
- 44:59Speaker 4: just the runnings. I mean it's going not only the
- 45:02Speaker 4: you know, on top market and you know, the wrestling
- 45:04Speaker 4: world of things, but even even with these these kids, right,
- 45:07Speaker 4: I mean, you know, the social media is huge everybody.
- 45:10Speaker 4: That's that's the driving force. You know. You you see
- 45:13Speaker 4: Prime uh in your local depreneur, bodega, corner store, whatever
- 45:20Speaker 4: you want to call it. You know that Prime drink
- 45:22Speaker 4: is is probably there. And when you think of the
- 45:25Speaker 4: Prime drink, you think of obviously you know, these these
- 45:28Speaker 4: these guys, you know k sides of the world, you know,
- 45:30Speaker 4: the Paul Brothers or Logan Paul uh, you know the world.
- 45:34Speaker 4: And you know the these kids are just younger, younger.
- 45:39Speaker 4: You know, the younger generation is going to be in
- 45:42Speaker 4: tune with that anything that goes along with with the
- 45:47Speaker 4: Prime drink, the Prime brand, these these these YouTubers, uh,
- 45:51Speaker 4: you know, it all connects into intertwined and it all
- 45:54Speaker 4: connects to bring it home again that that dollar value
- 45:57Speaker 4: back to back to the business. But it's smart. I mean,
- 46:02Speaker 4: I think it's smart business. At the end of the day.
- 46:03Speaker 4: I mean people are gonna say, oh, you know, I
- 46:05Speaker 4: don't want X y Z associated with my club. First off,
- 46:09Speaker 4: it's not your club. And second of all, they don't
- 46:12Speaker 4: care about what you think about you know, you don't
- 46:14Speaker 4: want them at your club. So at the end of
- 46:16Speaker 4: the day, like we said, it's all about the money. Unfortunately,
- 46:19Speaker 4: that's how the world uh turns, and you know, it
- 46:23Speaker 4: kind of is what it is. But I know, me,
- 46:26Speaker 4: I had a partnership with sink Oro at the tequila
- 46:29Speaker 4: brand and you know, try to Scott to the world
- 46:32Speaker 4: and and I think Jordan and this and that, and
- 46:34Speaker 4: it's like these are just avenues to just you know,
- 46:38Speaker 4: express expand your brand, you know. You know Melan with
- 46:41Speaker 4: the ownership with Cardinale, has the relationship with the Yankees,
- 46:44Speaker 4: and you know, just going into midjor League baseball and
- 46:46Speaker 4: it's like playing a preseason game at eight a m.
- 46:50Speaker 4: You know, people picking up a prime bottle, you know,
- 46:53Speaker 4: in a U rasure like because of Jake Paul started
- 46:57Speaker 4: Logan Paul or KSI. So all these things go, you know,
- 46:59Speaker 4: high hand in terms of the brand exposure and uh yeah,
- 47:03Speaker 4: bringing back that money back to the business. And it's
- 47:07Speaker 4: a good question, but I also think it's you know,
- 47:10Speaker 4: it's it's it's a loaded question because there's there's I
- 47:12Speaker 4: think there's so many avenues to kind of how to
- 47:14Speaker 4: answer it. And you know, I think it's, uh, it's
- 47:18Speaker 4: it's it's it's good for business, I think at the
- 47:20Speaker 4: end of the day, no matter no matter how big
- 47:22Speaker 4: or small it is, but this one seems to be
- 47:24Speaker 4: a big one.
- 47:25Speaker 3: Not to just to add in quickly. It also lines
- 47:27Speaker 3: up with what you've was trying to go for about
- 47:29Speaker 3: seven years ago when they rebranded the jersey to you know,
- 47:35Speaker 3: like with the change, the logo change or whatnot. They
- 47:37Speaker 3: everything a wanted to modernize the team. They wanted to
- 47:40Speaker 3: kind of, uh, I don't want to say, like give
- 47:42Speaker 3: it a fresh look, but kind of make it a
- 47:44Speaker 3: bit more hip, a bit more accessible to the to
- 47:46Speaker 3: the non uh to, to the casual fans of the world,
- 47:50Speaker 3: to the non diehards. They wanted to be more appellant
- 47:53Speaker 3: to the casual fans. And they did a great first
- 47:56Speaker 3: step of getting Ronaldo because that's how easily got to
- 47:57Speaker 3: get all the casual eyes onto your team, get anywhere
- 48:00Speaker 3: all done, and then from there they're just continuing on
- 48:03Speaker 3: and on and on. So at the end, this is
- 48:05Speaker 3: a this is great business for you because they get
- 48:06Speaker 3: more eyes, to get more branding, to get more money.
- 48:09Speaker 3: It's exactly what the team wants. It's it's it's all
- 48:12Speaker 3: positives in my eye.
- 48:15Speaker 2: Yeah, Jenny, I was just about to say that there's
- 48:17Speaker 2: sometimes where you know, as a fan, some somethings feel
- 48:24Speaker 2: a bit cringe. But at the end of the day,
- 48:27Speaker 2: I know what they do sometimes on social media. It's
- 48:30Speaker 2: not for me, you know, like you said, it's for
- 48:32Speaker 2: the people who don't.
- 48:34Speaker 4: Like it's not for you, but it's gonna it's gonna
- 48:36Speaker 4: be for somebody else, So it's bound to hit somebody's
- 48:38Speaker 4: exactly exactly.
- 48:40Speaker 2: Like I know, they have this whole creator's now and
- 48:43Speaker 2: you know that includes our friends Eppe, but you know
- 48:47Speaker 2: some of the other creators that frankly I just I
- 48:49Speaker 2: don't want. I won't watch them. You know, there's it's
- 48:51Speaker 2: just not like I said, it's not for me, but
- 48:53Speaker 2: it's just for other people. And that's okay. And you know,
- 48:56Speaker 2: you know, you know the meme old man yells a cloud.
- 48:59Speaker 2: That's how some react on social media, even even with
- 49:02Speaker 2: the prime stuff. I'm not all I'm not a fan
- 49:05Speaker 2: of it, like I'm not a fan of Logan Paul.
- 49:07Speaker 2: I'll admit that yis. Sorry whatever, that's fine, But you
- 49:12Speaker 2: know again, it's not for me. I they already know
- 49:15Speaker 2: I like you, they already they already have your they
- 49:19Speaker 2: already have me. They already know that I'm going to
- 49:21Speaker 2: purchase the food Boat broadcast and I'm gonna watch their games.
- 49:24Speaker 2: I already know that. They're like, Okay, we're happy with you.
- 49:27Speaker 2: Thank you, thank you for being a fan. Thank you,
- 49:30Speaker 2: You're welcome. Yeah, you know now they just need yeah
- 49:37Speaker 2: want to there you go. But and you know what,
- 49:42Speaker 2: at the end of the day, like we just need
- 49:44Speaker 2: to see this more in city. And you do see
- 49:46Speaker 2: other teams try to go into other markets. You see
- 49:49Speaker 2: INTERN Meland a lot with like Asian markets. You know,
- 49:52Speaker 2: I think it was an INTERN they had, they had
- 49:53Speaker 2: the Asian sponsors. I forget if it was for the
- 49:57Speaker 2: Chinese New Year. They put the players names in the
- 50:00Speaker 2: guess in Manard in Chinese. So you know, the smart
- 50:05Speaker 2: teams like Enter melan Ve they try to do that.
- 50:09Speaker 2: I see Napoli trying to do that a bit now too,
- 50:11Speaker 2: trying to expand you know outside of football versus in
- 50:16Speaker 2: the past they didn't really do that. But teams like
- 50:18Speaker 2: Roma Latsio like, no, they're I mean, you know, to
- 50:22Speaker 2: their credit, their focused tradition, they're focused on the Roman fans,
- 50:26Speaker 2: on the whole Roma rivalry, like you know, they love
- 50:29Speaker 2: their fans in Rome, but outside of that, you know,
- 50:32Speaker 2: they don't. I know, Roma tried a bit to expand.
- 50:35Speaker 2: They have you know, their English account that that's pretty
- 50:37Speaker 2: popular on Twitter, but you know that's it. Uh So,
- 50:42Speaker 2: it's just it's just the city. Yeah. A lot of
- 50:44Speaker 2: teams don't don't want to do this in fear of,
- 50:47Speaker 2: I guess getting backlash from their traditional fans. But you know,
- 50:50Speaker 2: our our clubs, our clubs aren't the same. Before we go,
- 50:55Speaker 2: uh you know, Marcato's not not done. If guys want
- 51:00Speaker 2: to go around, say one one thing that you'd like
- 51:02Speaker 2: your team to see to get, or at least one
- 51:06Speaker 2: player that you like your team to get, let it
- 51:09Speaker 2: all out. I might as well start. I'll start with you.
- 51:12Speaker 2: I want to see U miners, you know, I want
- 51:14Speaker 2: to see that deal done. It feels like it's it's
- 51:16Speaker 2: been forever that we're waiting. Uh, you know, I know Clulu.
- 51:20Speaker 2: They they got Klulu alone today, which was a bit
- 51:22Speaker 2: of surprise. Like you know, I haven't really been on
- 51:24Speaker 2: Twitter in the past few days, so I haven't really
- 51:26Speaker 2: paid attention. But you know, seeing him show up to
- 51:29Speaker 2: Jake Medical this morning, you know he's a good player.
- 51:32Speaker 2: I know Hugan, he's on his way out. I think
- 51:36Speaker 2: I saw Yaks exactly. So it'll be interesting to see
- 51:39Speaker 2: where Clulu fits in this lineup. Obviously, I don't expect
- 51:42Speaker 2: him to start. You know, they still have Chagodalo, who
- 51:48Speaker 2: you know, another form of melon player who really doesn't
- 51:50Speaker 2: play much. I don't know why they got him last
- 51:52Speaker 2: year if they're not going to play him. But again,
- 51:54Speaker 2: you know, they got him under a legree maybe months
- 51:57Speaker 2: of Diego MONTHA doesn't like him, So we'll see. I'm
- 52:00Speaker 2: like I said, I know Clue is a good player.
- 52:02Speaker 2: It just depends how much they're actually gonna gonna play.
- 52:04Speaker 2: But I know you didn't play a lot of games
- 52:06Speaker 2: last year either with with Milan, you only played nine.
- 52:08Speaker 4: I don't know if he was injured or what the
- 52:10Speaker 4: story was yeah, yeah, he was, Yeah, he was injured.
- 52:12Speaker 4: I mean he had a like the scudetto year, you
- 52:14Speaker 4: had a hell of a year. It's kind of went
- 52:17Speaker 4: a bit downhill, and I know me and Nick were
- 52:19Speaker 4: speaking about it earlier today, but not to say that
- 52:23Speaker 4: I went downhill like to pure rock bottom. But again,
- 52:26Speaker 4: with injury, you pick up injury, you kind of lose
- 52:29Speaker 4: that form, move that rhythm, you kind of your play
- 52:32Speaker 4: kind of decreases a bit. Obviously Milan had a bit
- 52:35Speaker 4: of up and down season as well after the school
- 52:37Speaker 4: that too season. So but again, still a young player,
- 52:41Speaker 4: still a player that I think the quality is there.
- 52:44Speaker 4: It's it's it's a it's a lone deal with option
- 52:47Speaker 4: to buy I think at fourteen million, uh three million
- 52:50Speaker 4: in bonuses. The whole deal I think is just under
- 52:54Speaker 4: twenty million. So if you've decides to to trigger the
- 53:00Speaker 4: bike clause, so we'll see, me On has a ten
- 53:03Speaker 4: percent uh resell if they do, indeed, uh you know,
- 53:08Speaker 4: up the clause there, but and buy him out right,
- 53:11Speaker 4: but we'll see, I don't know.
- 53:13Speaker 3: Uh.
- 53:14Speaker 4: There was a whole buzz on social media of him
- 53:16Speaker 4: going on his on his Instagram bio. Uh Juventus, player
- 53:21Speaker 4: of Juventus, then it was player of Juventus on loan,
- 53:24Speaker 4: and then it became player of Juventus on loan from Acon.
- 53:28Speaker 4: So uh, you know, take take take that what you will,
- 53:31Speaker 4: I guess, but I can't make me laugh. I saw
- 53:35Speaker 4: a bit on Twitter before we kind of came on here,
- 53:36Speaker 4: so I just wanted to say that. But I don't know.
- 53:40Speaker 4: Maybe it's hard to sell me on. I would, I
- 53:42Speaker 4: would hope so, but again, I think where it fits
- 53:46Speaker 4: is interesting because I didn't see the Homo game on Monday.
- 53:50Speaker 4: But I think, you know, if if Month is smart,
- 53:56Speaker 4: he'll he'll find a way for for him. So we'll
- 53:59Speaker 4: we'll have to wait and hopefully we'll get him back.
- 54:01Speaker 4: I don't want to seeing him done the Bucking White
- 54:04Speaker 4: for too long. But well, we'll see, uh what the
- 54:07Speaker 4: future holds. But for me on, I don't know, man,
- 54:10Speaker 4: there's still there's still a lot I think to to
- 54:14Speaker 4: kind of I guess fix if you want to, if
- 54:16Speaker 4: you will. In the squad, it's it's by it's by
- 54:19Speaker 4: no means a perfect squad, but I think just the depth.
- 54:23Speaker 4: I think we do have some depth now in certain positions.
- 54:26Speaker 4: But you know, obviously we didn't get to see him yet,
- 54:29Speaker 4: but Emerson Royale right back, a player that I'm not
- 54:36Speaker 4: too keen on, but uh, you know, I want to
- 54:39Speaker 4: see maybe prove me wrong on the pitch. So we'll
- 54:41Speaker 4: see if We'll have to wait and see if if
- 54:43Speaker 4: that's if that's gonna happen. Reports throughout this week has
- 54:47Speaker 4: been saying that he he might push Calabria for this
- 54:50Speaker 4: part in starting squad right back. We'll see. Obviously we
- 54:54Speaker 4: didn't get to see uh Fofana either for Monaco that
- 54:58Speaker 4: that we're finally able to to purchase, which he seems
- 55:02Speaker 4: like a beast in the midfield, a player that I
- 55:04Speaker 4: think can do wonders in this midfield. Hopefully he can
- 55:08Speaker 4: kind of be that that uh, you know, that Kessi
- 55:11Speaker 4: type of player that we've missed since we left we
- 55:14Speaker 4: we got rid of Kessi. Uh we've kind of been
- 55:17Speaker 4: missing that that you know, that beasts in the midfield
- 55:20Speaker 4: box the box, kind of all over the place and
- 55:22Speaker 4: kind of really sort offying that midfield. So maybe for
- 55:25Speaker 4: Final with the likes of you know Benasser or or
- 55:29Speaker 4: or Ryanders or or you know oddly uh loftis Cheek,
- 55:34Speaker 4: whoever it may be, uh, you know, can kind of
- 55:37Speaker 4: make an impact in that midfield. But I think the
- 55:40Speaker 4: biggest one that we need, and again I don't know,
- 55:42Speaker 4: I haven't seen any any concrete links, but I think
- 55:45Speaker 4: we need some something else is a backup to tail
- 55:50Speaker 4: because as I said earlier, I don't think the uh
- 55:53Speaker 4: the uh Celcieacher maker I left back, you know experiment
- 55:58Speaker 4: kind of when the Corinth to plan defensively, like I
- 56:01Speaker 4: said earlier, the offensive side, okay, I can see it,
- 56:04Speaker 4: but defensively still a bit of a liability there. So
- 56:08Speaker 4: and you know, with a guy like Florends going out
- 56:12Speaker 4: with an injury in preseason through I don't know if
- 56:14Speaker 4: out for the season, but out for a good six
- 56:16Speaker 4: months at least with a knee injury where he would
- 56:20Speaker 4: kind of sometimes sat in that left back position if
- 56:23Speaker 4: if need. Be a guy like Ted a Channel who
- 56:25Speaker 4: has kind of got some minutes in in in preseason.
- 56:30Speaker 4: I hear is kind of potentially maybe on a loan
- 56:33Speaker 4: deal out out of Mulan so which would be a
- 56:35Speaker 4: shame because I think he can kind of get some
- 56:37Speaker 4: more minutes. It's kind of and now losing a guy
- 56:41Speaker 4: like Kou who was kind of you know, obviously he
- 56:43Speaker 4: was originally a right back, went to center back, but
- 56:46Speaker 4: I think it kind of play all over, you know
- 56:48Speaker 4: where where's that kind of backup Toteo? Is it going
- 56:51Speaker 4: to be a guy like Bartisagi from from the from
- 56:54Speaker 4: the Milan Futuro Futuro Uh, you know, like the youth
- 56:58Speaker 4: system maybe, but again very young and not much experienced.
- 57:02Speaker 4: Said yah, we'll see if those if that can kind
- 57:05Speaker 4: of you know, play out, but no name particularly because
- 57:09Speaker 4: again it's it's it's so hard to predict, but definitely
- 57:13Speaker 4: I left back. I think, uh, you know, backup to
- 57:15Speaker 4: Tao is needed because unfortunately this guy is not a
- 57:18Speaker 4: machine and you can't play every game, so we gonna
- 57:20Speaker 4: need some help. I think that in that position. Some
- 57:23Speaker 4: people are on me on Twitter are saying another striker.
- 57:27Speaker 4: I know in my mew on Cole Montreal chat, there's
- 57:30Speaker 4: certain guys that are saying we need another striker, which
- 57:34Speaker 4: now with Modata going down, it kind of looks like
- 57:37Speaker 4: we might need another one behind the likes of you know,
- 57:41Speaker 4: Jovic and if it be okafor or whoever it may be.
- 57:43Speaker 4: But people already saying Camarda and we've spoken I think
- 57:47Speaker 4: about that on the in the past with Camarda. I
- 57:49Speaker 4: think it would be nice for sure, but again, this
- 57:52Speaker 4: is not f C twenty four f twenty five. This
- 57:54Speaker 4: is this is real, real life. Said yah, so, uh,
- 57:58Speaker 4: We're gonna have to wait and see. I think for
- 57:59Speaker 4: company Camarda at a regular basis for for the for
- 58:03Speaker 4: the first team from me one, but I'm going to say, yeah,
- 58:07Speaker 4: I'm predominantly left back. Some help defensively because clearly we're
- 58:12Speaker 4: so susceptible to goals defensively, even though we're creating chances.
- 58:16Speaker 4: I need to finish that. I think we can work on.
- 58:19Speaker 4: But if if we're just continuously weaking goals, we're gonna
- 58:22Speaker 4: need some help to defensively. Johnny, I really don't like
- 58:29Speaker 4: it's like that is came in today.
- 58:33Speaker 3: Yeah, it's like as if and then apparently Billy Gilmore
- 58:37Speaker 3: is rumored to be signed soon. Honestly speaking, like, it's
- 58:40Speaker 3: not like as if. Napoli is not getting players, maybe
- 58:43Speaker 3: not the players that Conte actually wants, but he's still
- 58:46Speaker 3: getting you know, he's still getting players. You know, you
- 58:49Speaker 3: know which players I wish Napoli would get. Zalinski, you know,
- 58:55Speaker 3: uh no, but uh that you know the battle thing.
- 59:01Speaker 3: I just find it's a bit weird. But what can
- 59:03Speaker 3: you do, Like I.
- 59:04Speaker 4: I don't blame him if he's taking that money.
- 59:06Speaker 3: Oh yeah, twenty five million. Twenty five million a year
- 59:10Speaker 3: is ridiculous. Obviously you take that.
- 59:14Speaker 4: But uh, it's a shame to lose him.
- 59:16Speaker 6: But I think he came he came on a free
- 59:19Speaker 6: he came on a free right, so you can't It's
- 59:23Speaker 6: at least it has an upside. You make a bit
- 59:24Speaker 6: of profit off of him. You know, it's only three million.
- 59:28Speaker 3: But overall it's I don't know what I would want
- 59:32Speaker 3: Napoly to sign. Maybe some more midfield help for Roma,
- 59:36Speaker 3: I would rather than defense for defense.
- 59:39Speaker 4: Probably No, no, not you were saying earlier.
- 59:42Speaker 3: I mean they like they signed center backs this year.
- 59:44Speaker 3: It's not like it didn't sign center backs. You know,
- 59:45Speaker 3: they they signed the center backs they needed, They signed
- 59:48Speaker 3: the right they signed it a left back. But spin
- 59:50Speaker 3: it's all uh uh, it's they have been adding to it.
- 59:53Speaker 3: Are they quality center backs? You know, like remains to
- 59:57Speaker 3: be seen, but you know there's it's it's still better
- 59:59Speaker 3: than Juan A Zeus and HAKMANI in my personal opinion,
- 1:00:03Speaker 3: Like you know, it's you lost. You lost Kim two
- 1:00:09Speaker 3: years ago. The year before that, he lost Kulibadi, and
- 1:00:11Speaker 3: you haven't found replacement for the replacements for them. Since
- 1:00:14Speaker 3: you haven't found anything, you need to find somebody consistent.
- 1:00:17Speaker 3: What I would actually prefer Napoly does is put more
- 1:00:22Speaker 3: money in youth development. You know, look internally, instead of
- 1:00:26Speaker 3: trying to go out in the market and trying to
- 1:00:27Speaker 3: buy these young players. Actually developed some of your own
- 1:00:31Speaker 3: besides players name in signe. You know, That's something I
- 1:00:35Speaker 3: would like to see them do, but to each their
- 1:00:39Speaker 3: own well, actually thinking Signya and Hamsick both not believe
- 1:00:42Speaker 3: I'm not sure about Hamsick. To be fair, I don't
- 1:00:44Speaker 3: think Hamsick was, but he came young anyways. Uh, but
- 1:00:48Speaker 3: I don't really know. If you're not poly what you
- 1:00:50Speaker 3: what you?
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: What do you get?
- 1:00:51Speaker 3: Like more midfield help at this point, I guess. I mean, hey,
- 1:00:56Speaker 3: if they get Lukaku, they get Lukaku. At least it's
- 1:00:58Speaker 3: another option. But it's uh, it's weird because that that
- 1:01:03Speaker 3: that and that hinges on the Aman deal. And to
- 1:01:06Speaker 3: be honest with you, I'd rather keep as man. But
- 1:01:09Speaker 3: if the uscman wants to leave, I don't you know,
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: if he wants out, then obviously you have to get
- 1:01:13Speaker 3: a backup option and Ucacu, which you know, not ideal
- 1:01:20Speaker 3: but better than nothing, you know, type of thing. So
- 1:01:23Speaker 3: we'll see if I would want them to get Lucacu.
- 1:01:26Speaker 3: If Men leaves before September first, there's still eleven days
- 1:01:30Speaker 3: to go, so it's it remains well ten and a half.
- 1:01:32Speaker 3: Let's say it remains to be seen.
- 1:01:33Speaker 4: MM.
- 1:01:35Speaker 2: It'll be funny if Kaku goes from Romo Tonopoly.
- 1:01:42Speaker 3: Transfer transfer from Romo to another another one zeus another's
- 1:01:48Speaker 3: being at Zola.
- 1:01:51Speaker 2: What do you do that? What youre doing? Is it
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: in FIFA and career mode? You you control both teams
- 1:01:57Speaker 2: and then send all the best players on Napoli for
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: one season when the school to send all the other
- 1:02:01Speaker 2: best players to Roma are there.
- 1:02:03Speaker 3: Na, It's just I usually just take one team and
- 1:02:06Speaker 3: try my best. I actually, I'm the type of guy
- 1:02:07Speaker 3: that I'll just like send scouts to like random countries
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: and just get the ninety uh like the ninety potential
- 1:02:14Speaker 3: or like that, a plus potential player. I just use
- 1:02:16Speaker 3: that and just just eventually sell the big players for
- 1:02:19Speaker 3: more money, sign of young players and stuff, and just
- 1:02:22Speaker 3: watch young players grow and then go like Van Naked
- 1:02:24Speaker 3: Dynasty from there.
- 1:02:26Speaker 2: But send send the scouts to Georgia.
- 1:02:31Speaker 3: Can't work.
- 1:02:32Speaker 2: I was about to say, but guys, I think that'll
- 1:02:37Speaker 2: do it for us next week some you know, I
- 1:02:40Speaker 2: don't know if there's too many. I was just nothing,
- 1:02:45Speaker 2: nothing too too exciting. This weekend, Milan travels to Parma. Yeah, Napoli.
- 1:02:53Speaker 2: Napoli plays Bologna. Okay, that's a decent game. Inter like
- 1:02:57Speaker 2: Cha Atlanta against Rohna Monday Night, which is actually the
- 1:03:01Speaker 2: battle of the second versus the third place team in
- 1:03:03Speaker 2: the city. So Monday, Monday Night football is gonna be
- 1:03:05Speaker 2: a good, good one this week. But yeah, nothing, nothing
- 1:03:09Speaker 2: too exciting. I think the week after is when Juve
- 1:03:11Speaker 2: plays Roma and hopefully John you're here in Montreal and
