• 0:25
  Speaker 1: They say, if you don't learn from your stakes, you
• 0:28
  Speaker 1: might repeat it. It feels like that's what's happy on Melon.
• 0:31
  Speaker 1: Same week, same result, three jaws in a row to
• 0:34
  Speaker 1: start the season for Melon. Sorry, two draws and a loss.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: Third game dropped for the for for me, Lin Couch,
• 0:42
  Speaker 1: you guys, Agiano, Johnny, I'm Nicholas.
• 0:44
  Speaker 2: How you guys doing.
• 0:47
  Speaker 3: After that intro? Not so good? But not joking aside? Uh,
• 0:52
  Speaker 3: not happy to be back or an international break? I
• 0:55
  Speaker 3: think again, it came out a good time for Melan.
• 0:57
  Speaker 3: I don't know, well, I guess we'll get into it later,
• 0:59
  Speaker 3: but yeah, happy be bad, guys.
• 1:03
  Speaker 4: I'm a little bit tired. The school year started, and
• 1:08
  Speaker 4: you know, I have to get used to getting up
• 1:09
  Speaker 4: at like five in the morning every day. So that's, uh,
• 1:12
  Speaker 4: that's something that I'm just struggling with. Besides that, I was.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: Doing okay teaching kids history of city.
• 1:19
  Speaker 4: I wish that's the dream, that's the goal.
• 1:22
  Speaker 2: Teaching kids who won the school that toe in two
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: thousand and five, We.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: Sure want to discussed that. I don't think there was
• 1:28
  Speaker 4: a winner in two thousand and five.
• 1:32
  Speaker 3: I got you on your toes there, I got you
• 1:33
  Speaker 3: on your toes, but.
• 1:37
  Speaker 1: We might as well, we might as well start with
• 1:39
  Speaker 1: the elf into the room again. It feels like we're
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: talking about this. You know, it's another week, but you know,
• 1:44
  Speaker 1: more problems for me and this time. Okay, you know,
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: give them credit. Okay, they tied to two against Lazio.
• 1:50
  Speaker 1: It's not like they you know, I feel like this
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: is not as bad as losing to Parma. But this
• 1:55
  Speaker 1: is a game that they scored, scored early with Pavlovich,
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: and then it was two goals in this in the
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: sixtieth minutes for Lato from Castellanos and India, and obviously
• 2:07
  Speaker 1: Leo responded late seventy second minutes, so you know, ten
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: minutes span, there was three goals that pretty much changed
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: the game around in that one. But uh, you know,
• 2:16
  Speaker 1: terrible start. I guess you could say terrible for Fonteco
• 2:19
  Speaker 1: once out. You know, we're talking about that once again.
• 2:23
  Speaker 1: But you know it, It's funny that we actually got
• 2:27
  Speaker 1: a couple of questions on social media. I drano about that.
• 2:31
  Speaker 1: We got we got two of them. I'm gonna I'm
• 2:33
  Speaker 1: gonna pull them up first from J. D. Powell nine
• 2:36
  Speaker 1: eight on on Twitter. Do you think Ac Melan will
• 2:39
  Speaker 1: finish in the top six of the league table. They've
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: been struggling so far.
• 2:43
  Speaker 4: Shout out to Justin with that question, shout.
• 2:46
  Speaker 2: Up and uh.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: And then what what is going on with Milan and
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: Martinellio six on Instagram?
• 2:54
  Speaker 3: Uh?
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: Adri take it away? What is going on with Melan?
• 2:58
  Speaker 3: What's not going on with me on It's seems like
• 3:00
  Speaker 3: there's a there's everything going wrong with you on right now?
• 3:04
  Speaker 3: To start off with the first question, will they've finished
• 3:06
  Speaker 3: in the top six, I'll get that out of the
• 3:07
  Speaker 3: way quickly. You know, I had predicted that I'm sticking
• 3:12
  Speaker 3: with my guns. Guys, I think we all we all
• 3:14
  Speaker 3: decided that we're sticking with our guns in the the
• 3:16
  Speaker 3: in the predictions that we put out there before the
• 3:19
  Speaker 3: season started. I have me on finishing in the top four.
• 3:24
  Speaker 3: I believe it. I believe it was third. If I'm
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: not mistaken, I'm gonna stick with that. Uh. But something
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: needs to give, something needs to change, and something needs
• 3:34
  Speaker 3: to happen fast. Because I said it last week, I believe,
• 3:37
  Speaker 3: if not the week before. You know, just these performances
• 3:41
  Speaker 3: are not good enough. Yes, they've been struggling, as Justin said,
• 3:46
  Speaker 3: but you know, it's it's it's it's not with a
• 3:51
  Speaker 3: lot of talent. I think, I think this team has
• 3:55
  Speaker 3: moments in the games. Uh, it just seems to really
• 3:58
  Speaker 3: fall defensively that they've really been, you know, coming short.
• 4:02
  Speaker 3: Uh it's rinse repeat every week. I don't think, you know,
• 4:06
  Speaker 3: I don't want to, you know, bring up what we
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: brought up already in past episodes. But you know, Fonseca
• 4:11
  Speaker 3: wasn't my choice. I don't think it was Many's choice
• 4:14
  Speaker 3: for or first choice rather for for the new manager
• 4:18
  Speaker 3: position after POI. So it's kind of what we've come
• 4:23
  Speaker 3: to accept. Uh, he's in charge again. I don't know.
• 4:28
  Speaker 3: Management is a bit all over the place with the
• 4:30
  Speaker 3: signals that they're sending down. The players are a bit
• 4:34
  Speaker 3: confused of you know, with uh, with Fonseca's direction. So again, guys,
• 4:40
  Speaker 3: it's a big mess. It is a struggle just to
• 4:44
  Speaker 3: summ it up, even at Martelli on on Instagram. There
• 4:47
  Speaker 3: what's going on in Meal Anders There's so many problems.
• 4:49
  Speaker 3: I mean, another incident over over the weekend. Uh, you
• 4:54
  Speaker 3: know it was obviously the lay out Taio uh, you know,
• 4:58
  Speaker 3: not being part of the cooling break. Uh, they were
• 5:01
  Speaker 3: on one side the pitch and the rest of the
• 5:03
  Speaker 3: team was on the cooling break. West and guys, I
• 5:06
  Speaker 3: know many Mewan fans have their opinions on that. Everybody
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: is entitled to that their opinion. I know Dekano was
• 5:14
  Speaker 3: very vocal with his thoughts on on layout and Tail's actions,
• 5:19
  Speaker 3: if you will. I think Capello was on that on
• 5:22
  Speaker 3: that on that panel as well. West and I think
• 5:26
  Speaker 3: the media it's a two way street. I think the
• 5:29
  Speaker 3: media is obviously going to blow it up because it's
• 5:31
  Speaker 3: something to talk about. It's something with a big team.
• 5:33
  Speaker 3: Uh and they have you know, they're they're going to
• 5:35
  Speaker 3: pick out anything to talk about. Personally. Me again, I
• 5:39
  Speaker 3: really don't think it's the end of the world. I
• 5:42
  Speaker 3: think they this thing got really blown out of proportion
• 5:44
  Speaker 3: more than it needs to be. But again, to play
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: Devil's advocate, you know, you want to be a leader,
• 5:50
  Speaker 3: you want to be the top players of this team.
• 5:53
  Speaker 3: You want the money that you're asking when you come
• 5:56
  Speaker 3: come for a renewal. You know the tales and the
• 5:58
  Speaker 3: wayouts of the world. They gave you these big bucks
• 6:00
  Speaker 3: and hot tails. Looking maybe for another contract. Uh, and
• 6:05
  Speaker 3: you where the craptains are banned for Milan and you
• 6:07
  Speaker 3: want to be like I said, these leadership type of
• 6:09
  Speaker 3: figures for this club. There's there's there's none of that
• 6:12
  Speaker 3: to be tolerated. You join your team, you you know,
• 6:15
  Speaker 3: you you show, you show that you're part of this.
• 6:18
  Speaker 3: You show that you're part of the uh you know,
• 6:20
  Speaker 3: to read this team to a to a better, better
• 6:22
  Speaker 3: time because it's been obviously rocky to start off the season.
• 6:25
  Speaker 3: So again, I know everybody's gonna have their opinions on it.
• 6:28
  Speaker 3: I think it got born out of proportion. Should they
• 6:30
  Speaker 3: have done it? Probably not. People are saying they just
• 6:32
  Speaker 3: came on. They didn't need the cooling broke, cooling break.
• 6:35
  Speaker 3: They already got their instructions from Fonseca and companies, so
• 6:40
  Speaker 3: you could slice and dice. That's that aspect in many
• 6:43
  Speaker 3: different ways. But again that stuff is off the pitch.
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: What matters again is on the pitch, and so far
• 6:49
  Speaker 3: the resultso not coming. I think, you know, one bright
• 6:54
  Speaker 3: spot has been Pavlovich, if you want to call it
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: a bright spot in these opening matches. He's seems to be,
• 7:01
  Speaker 3: you know, getting into form and getting into accustomed to
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: the league and to the role a melon relatively quickly.
• 7:08
  Speaker 3: Obviously not perfect, but you know he's able to score
• 7:11
  Speaker 3: that goal and finally, you know, get some momentum early
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: on in the game for me on But again I
• 7:17
  Speaker 3: think it was Yeah, it was uh marcol Messina, I
• 7:21
  Speaker 3: know by TV on on CBS that and Bonetti that
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: pointed it out on their on their uh, on their
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: on their show about the goals that mean are conceding
• 7:33
  Speaker 3: and it's always the same goals that they're conceding. Uh
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: down the you know down Emerson or Colubya's right hand side,
• 7:42
  Speaker 3: crossing across creek and it's a top in within the
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: you know what, the sixth eight yard buck. So uh,
• 7:49
  Speaker 3: you know this is just unacceptable. I mean it's it's
• 7:52
  Speaker 3: this is uh, you know, this is you earn this
• 7:55
  Speaker 3: stuff at what you know, you nine you tens, you
• 7:58
  Speaker 3: know you six you and not to a lot of
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: these sets of spaces and all of these counters to happen.
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: Emerson Royale, I said it, you know from the get go.
• 8:09
  Speaker 3: Wasn't another addition that I wanted. I hope you were
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: going to prove me wrong. So far it's really gone
• 8:14
  Speaker 3: too shit. He looks tired before he comes onto the pitch.
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: He came on as a sub in early two games,
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: he already looked exhausted. Now he starts, he still looks exhausted.
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: So this guy, I don't know, he's a lump of
• 8:28
  Speaker 3: a log. He's barely tracks back. He's he's too slow
• 8:31
  Speaker 3: to track back. It seems like, I don't know, it's
• 8:32
  Speaker 3: a big waste of the fifteen or in fifteen twenty
• 8:36
  Speaker 3: million whatever they you know, they invested in him for.
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: But it's it's just really not acceptable. We need to
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: show up the defense, We need to be more clinical
• 8:46
  Speaker 3: in the final third offensively. Again, this is a team
• 8:50
  Speaker 3: that I think currently sits in fourteenth place with two
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: points out of a possible nine in the opening three
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: matches of Siyah. It's if you're a melon, this is
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: obviously not acceptable. This is not where you want to be.
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: And I don't know where the reaction has to come from,
• 9:05
  Speaker 3: Like many fans are saying, you know, pull the plug
• 9:08
  Speaker 3: on fon Seca right away. You know, if there's a
• 9:12
  Speaker 3: time to do it, I don't know. I guess it's now,
• 9:15
  Speaker 3: if you really want to make that, make that move.
• 9:19
  Speaker 3: International break is out is up and happening now, you know,
• 9:25
  Speaker 3: you come back to Vanezia Liverpool in the Champions League
• 9:29
  Speaker 3: and then the there to be against in inted with
• 9:33
  Speaker 3: it's on the twenty second they just confirmed today. So
• 9:36
  Speaker 3: these are big matches to come and if you plays
• 9:39
  Speaker 3: like this, it's they're not going to get anywhere, you know,
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: more forward so again to play any you know, any
• 9:47
  Speaker 3: bright spots. I guess, like I said Pavlovich, I know
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: Leo is going to get criticism for his not participation
• 9:54
  Speaker 3: in the in the team gathering on the cooling break.
• 9:58
  Speaker 3: He scores the goal as soon as he comes on.
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: Tommy Abraham got some got some minutes, provide the assist.
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: This is a deal that we were talking about last week,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: Me and Johnny, the solid makers, Tommy Abraham, you know,
• 10:12
  Speaker 3: swap swap deal between me and and Roma. It ends
• 10:15
  Speaker 3: up going through Tommy comes on, makes an impact in
• 10:20
  Speaker 3: terms of gain and an assist. And maybe it was
• 10:23
  Speaker 3: a foot play. We can we can ye. People are
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: gonna say that that's fine, but it's uh. It got
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: us on to the board, It got us back into
• 10:32
  Speaker 3: the game and saved us a point. But those two
• 10:35
  Speaker 3: quick goals for Lotso again credit to Lotso for for
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: having a good second half and really pushing. But you know,
• 10:43
  Speaker 3: those two goals, I mean I think all three of
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: us might have been able to score that, you know,
• 10:48
  Speaker 3: just in the you know, right through the defense, tapping
• 10:50
  Speaker 3: in front of the net. I mean, I've seen Johnny
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: score types of goals like that, so.
• 10:56
  Speaker 2: On Tuesday nights, right, So insult, No, it's not.
• 11:00
  Speaker 3: It's just it's it's all to Melanshan's defense. And and
• 11:05
  Speaker 3: you know how easy it was to score. I mean,
• 11:08
  Speaker 3: any of us could have been in that position and score.
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: It's just embarrassing and in that aspect. But again, I
• 11:16
  Speaker 3: don't know what it is. I don't you know. I know,
• 11:19
  Speaker 3: uh tail and and uh Fonseca spoke, uh you know
• 11:25
  Speaker 3: post game, they kind of creared the air about all
• 11:29
  Speaker 3: the people saying, okay, what was going on with that?
• 11:31
  Speaker 3: There's friction between him and between them and Fonseca in
• 11:34
  Speaker 3: the locker room whatever. Again, I don't know. We're not
• 11:36
  Speaker 3: in the locker room, so I don't know. But something
• 11:41
  Speaker 3: needs to change. And you know, again, management, I think
• 11:45
  Speaker 3: it's to blame. I think as well, because you know,
• 11:49
  Speaker 3: the market was the market. I think fans are still
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: we're desperate. We're still waiting for other additions didn't happen.
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: This is what we have to you know, roll with.
• 12:00
  Speaker 3: And you know the fuon Seca hiring. Again, I said
• 12:04
  Speaker 3: it from the beginning. I'm not wasn't a fan. I
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: was hoping for him to prove me wrong. And I
• 12:08
  Speaker 3: just don't want to fall in. And again, it's no
• 12:10
  Speaker 3: disrespect to to not pull you last season, but they
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: had a circus of of of coaching carousel, was the
• 12:19
  Speaker 3: three coaches in the calendar year. So I just don't
• 12:22
  Speaker 3: want to fall in that type of in that type
• 12:26
  Speaker 3: of situation with this team because again, like I said,
• 12:30
  Speaker 3: I I do think, you know, with the roster on paper,
• 12:35
  Speaker 3: I mean the Torino game, the part of the game,
• 12:38
  Speaker 3: and the Lazzo game, I don't think these a should
• 12:41
  Speaker 3: have been the results. Like I mean, I know you're
• 12:42
  Speaker 3: gonna say, okay, yeah, you're a biased fan whatever, but
• 12:45
  Speaker 3: like listen, this should have been more out of these games,
• 12:48
  Speaker 3: and it just it just wasn't you know, credit for
• 12:51
  Speaker 3: those teams for for putting out those fights. But I
• 12:54
  Speaker 3: think this if, if this is Melan and this is
• 12:56
  Speaker 3: a team that wants to get back to winning ways
• 12:59
  Speaker 3: and terms of you know, trying to fight for a
• 13:01
  Speaker 3: scudetto and you know they're they're trying to say, we
• 13:03
  Speaker 3: want to get that second star. You know, Inter already
• 13:06
  Speaker 3: got their second star. Now we're trying to play catch
• 13:08
  Speaker 3: up with them. And right now we're ways and miles
• 13:12
  Speaker 3: away for I mean to in terms of what we're
• 13:15
  Speaker 3: seeing on the pitch currently. So again, is the firing
• 13:19
  Speaker 3: going to be too soon? Is this John Paul point?
• 13:22
  Speaker 3: Like we said last week, every week, every passing week,
• 13:25
  Speaker 3: it's it seems to be closer to that. But hey,
• 13:28
  Speaker 3: we got rid of jump out, brought in a guy
• 13:30
  Speaker 3: like Pli, and we saw what happened. Would that be
• 13:33
  Speaker 3: the same thing if me On were to pull the
• 13:36
  Speaker 3: trigger and fire Fonseca this early? I don't think so.
• 13:43
  Speaker 3: But again, where where does me wan like, where's me
• 13:47
  Speaker 3: wan want to position themselves with the best or with
• 13:49
  Speaker 3: the rest currently or with the rest and not with
• 13:51
  Speaker 3: the best. So management is going to have to put
• 13:55
  Speaker 3: up their pull up their you know, their big boy
• 13:57
  Speaker 3: pants on and and uh, you know, really weigh up
• 14:01
  Speaker 3: the options because in three match days and again I
• 14:05
  Speaker 3: always like to give you know that five to ten
• 14:08
  Speaker 3: match day judgments that's kind of where we like to,
• 14:11
  Speaker 3: you know, see where our teams are at and kind
• 14:14
  Speaker 3: of go from there. But if it continues like this,
• 14:16
  Speaker 3: I don't even think we'll get the match day five
• 14:18
  Speaker 3: and you know seven and then ten with this meal
• 14:21
  Speaker 3: and the way they're playing. So I'm really on the
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: fence with with with firing Fonseca right now. I want
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: to still give him a bit more, but he's gonna
• 14:36
  Speaker 3: have to change a lot. He's gonna have to be
• 14:38
  Speaker 3: more dynamic in game. He's gonna have like he just
• 14:40
  Speaker 3: threw on four guys and and lucky enough happened to
• 14:45
  Speaker 3: get a drug against lots. So people are gonna say,
• 14:48
  Speaker 3: obviously the handballs and this and that and the bar
• 14:51
  Speaker 3: and no bar whatever, put that all aside. Like Fonseca
• 14:54
  Speaker 3: was all over the map. We can't hold on to
• 14:56
  Speaker 3: a lead. We let in how many goes we wed
• 14:59
  Speaker 3: in it? In? What? Six goals in three games? I believe?
• 15:04
  Speaker 3: Uh yeah, two two and two. Yeah, we're writing six
• 15:07
  Speaker 3: goals in two games in three games. Sorry, it's not
• 15:10
  Speaker 3: good enough and it's no and it's no fault to
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: either like his his his his his defense is not
• 15:15
  Speaker 3: doing like anything in front of him, So lots of holes,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: lots of things to fix. Maybe this international break so
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: soon for the nation's league is it's a quiet blessing
• 15:25
  Speaker 3: in disguise from you on my optimistic side says that,
• 15:29
  Speaker 3: but my other side says, we gotta change everything and
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: and I kind of start from scratch, and if there's
• 15:34
  Speaker 3: a time to do it, maybe now at the time.
• 15:39
  Speaker 1: You're in favor of firing one Seco. That's I think
• 15:42
  Speaker 1: that that will be the headline of the episode Dano.
• 15:46
  Speaker 3: Gets if it gets to click. So I don't know
• 15:48
  Speaker 3: what we'll do that whatever it is. Man follows at
• 15:52
  Speaker 3: the culture guys, YouTube everywhere, Instagram.
• 15:54
  Speaker 4: The shock value, Yeah, shock.
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: Jocks to like do like one of these as, like
• 16:00
  Speaker 3: the as like the thumbnail or something like.
• 16:03
  Speaker 2: Kevin McAlister and home alone.
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: There you go.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: But Johnny, you're your.
• 16:09
  Speaker 1: Napoli feels like it's the opposite against uh this time
• 16:12
  Speaker 1: against Parma coming back and winning that one two to
• 16:16
  Speaker 1: one late goals? Was it ninety second Lukaku in ninety
• 16:19
  Speaker 1: six it was Angisa?
• 16:21
  Speaker 2: Was it ninety sixth minute? I believe. I don't know
• 16:25
  Speaker 2: if you have the opportunity to watch that game, Johnny.
• 16:27
  Speaker 1: But uh, you know you saw the videos reactions on
• 16:30
  Speaker 1: the sideline with Conte.
• 16:32
  Speaker 2: You know Conte, well was it win win? Sorry?
• 16:34
  Speaker 1: Loses the first game three nothing against that you know,
• 16:38
  Speaker 1: bad start. Uh, comes back and wins three nothing against
• 16:43
  Speaker 1: Bologna and then two one now against Parma. So six
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: points in in three games. You know, it's it's it's good,
• 16:50
  Speaker 1: it's it's a good start. But you know it's the
• 16:54
  Speaker 1: excitement from from Conte and it feels like Conte is
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: a coach where you know, once his teams get roll,
• 17:00
  Speaker 1: they're almost unstoppable. And then now we see Lukaku, I
• 17:03
  Speaker 1: mean this this transfer, I forget if this transfer even
• 17:06
  Speaker 1: happened last time we spoke. So, first of all, Jenny,
• 17:08
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on it? Second of all, osimn out,
• 17:12
  Speaker 1: what are your thoughts on that that whole saga? Lukaku,
• 17:14
  Speaker 1: come in, man and give me your thoughts on the game?
• 17:18
  Speaker 4: All right? So, didn't have a chance to watch the
• 17:20
  Speaker 4: game because I was working a wedding that that day.
• 17:23
  Speaker 4: I was getting the updates on my phone, was very
• 17:25
  Speaker 4: frustrated with the initial results and then saw that like
• 17:31
  Speaker 4: those the miracle plays essentially towards the like the late
• 17:34
  Speaker 4: half of the game. One thing I do want to
• 17:37
  Speaker 4: say first off, to start off with that specifically focused
• 17:41
  Speaker 4: in that game, Parma were playing with ten men and
• 17:46
  Speaker 4: Napoli couldn't do much with that until Lucaku came out. Now,
• 17:50
  Speaker 4: Lukaku started later because you know, getting integrated back into
• 17:53
  Speaker 4: the squad. He also stated that his fitness is not
• 17:55
  Speaker 4: up to par. He stayed an extra few days to like,
• 17:59
  Speaker 4: you know, the team had a bit of a break
• 18:00
  Speaker 4: past couple of days. He actually trained those past couple
• 18:03
  Speaker 4: of days to just get back into fit form with them.
• 18:05
  Speaker 4: So at least that Lucaco coming to Napoli is is
• 18:10
  Speaker 4: it's a surprise in the sense that I never thought
• 18:12
  Speaker 4: I'd see this in my life. But when you consider
• 18:13
  Speaker 4: the factors that it's Kante managing the team, then yeah,
• 18:16
  Speaker 4: it makes total sense. Because wherever Conte goes, Lucaco goes.
• 18:20
  Speaker 4: You know, whether it be Chelsea Inter or now Monopoly,
• 18:23
  Speaker 4: you know, it's it is what it is, And Lucaco
• 18:25
  Speaker 4: last year at Roma wasn't the like, wasn't the worst thing.
• 18:28
  Speaker 4: It's just so funny. Now I get to see Lucaco
• 18:29
  Speaker 4: play for both my teams. Uh, Lakaka not just kidding. Uh,
• 18:36
  Speaker 4: all we need for him is just to have like
• 18:38
  Speaker 4: a like a fuck up moment in Europa League final
• 18:41
  Speaker 4: with the ball hitting his face. You know, that's all
• 18:42
  Speaker 4: we need right now. That that would that that would
• 18:45
  Speaker 4: just be like like I don't know it's gonna it
• 18:48
  Speaker 4: feels like it would happen. It would just be like, oh, yeah,
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: by the way, and just here you go. You guys
• 18:52
  Speaker 4: are in the final, but Lucaco fucks it up, you know,
• 18:55
  Speaker 4: like I wouldn't not. But in all seriousness, I'm excited
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: about it. It's not staff. It's like a wealth of
• 19:01
  Speaker 4: riches right now up front, and especially given the fact
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: that the man saga was a bit problematic right now
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: towards the end where uh Napoli and Chelsea agree on
• 19:13
  Speaker 4: a deal but Chelsea Lowball's men with the contract and
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: then al Khila whatever, one of the Al khilal al
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: Hli whatever. I'm sorry, I don't care too much about
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: the Sauti League, as bad as that sounds offers, probably
• 19:32
  Speaker 4: offers him more money than he wants, but really low
• 19:34
  Speaker 4: balls Napoli at that point. It's more or less it's
• 19:37
  Speaker 4: his agent that basically dropped the ball. You know, you
• 19:39
  Speaker 4: couldn't get him on teams that he wanted to be on.
• 19:42
  Speaker 4: Uh and then he had to saddle for Galatsi, which
• 19:44
  Speaker 4: you know, you're sure you're being the top team in
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: the Turkish league. You know they have a lot of history,
• 19:48
  Speaker 4: like at but in terms of the league that I sorry,
• 19:54
  Speaker 4: but in terms of but in terms of league quality,
• 19:59
  Speaker 4: you downgrading. In league quality, the team, the team is fantastic,
• 20:04
  Speaker 4: but the quality that you're gonna be playing against it's
• 20:06
  Speaker 4: not gonna be great. You'll be a big fish in
• 20:08
  Speaker 4: a really small pond. You know, you're gonna be a
• 20:11
  Speaker 4: really You're gonna be a big fish in a really
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: small pond. And it's and it's interesting how essentially that
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: Front three right now is a former city of Front
• 20:18
  Speaker 4: three with you know, it's if this, if this was
• 20:25
  Speaker 4: like a team maybe seven years ago, eight years ago,
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: people would be flipping like, oh my god, what mind.
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: You would have been way too younger, have been like
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: sixteen at the time. But people would have been like,
• 20:34
  Speaker 4: oh my god, what is this? What what the heck?
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: It was powerhouse team. Now it's like okay, well cool,
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: but it's in the wrong league. That's what it is.
• 20:45
  Speaker 4: I'm probably gonna get a lot of hate for saying that.
• 20:48
  Speaker 4: It's it's more what I'm what I'm relieved about is
• 20:51
  Speaker 4: that there's like a a certain fan base that just
• 20:54
  Speaker 4: basically was every time Napoly had an issue with all Men,
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: it just seemed like people were fans of O C
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: Men rather than the team. And I'm just I'm happy
• 21:07
  Speaker 4: with the fact that those type of fans just won't
• 21:10
  Speaker 4: be around. I've always found it strange that people support
• 21:12
  Speaker 4: a player over a team itself, like I can, I
• 21:17
  Speaker 4: can get to you have your favorites. Don't get me wrong,
• 21:19
  Speaker 4: I throughout the years have had players that I loved
• 21:22
  Speaker 4: and obsessed over, you know, Like I said, Keiz has
• 21:25
  Speaker 4: always been one of my day ones. And he went
• 21:27
  Speaker 4: to Juve and it hurt that he went to Uve,
• 21:30
  Speaker 4: but I always wanted kids to succeed. It's you know,
• 21:32
  Speaker 4: I was just like, well, Uve's ruining him, just screw
• 21:35
  Speaker 4: that team. But I still have But I'm not gonna
• 21:36
  Speaker 4: crap Like, I'm not gonna like crap on Uve's what
• 21:39
  Speaker 4: I'm trying to say, Like I'll crap on Uve because
• 21:40
  Speaker 4: they're right, Well, but I'm not going to crap on
• 21:41
  Speaker 4: Juve for at least not trying with the kid. I
• 21:44
  Speaker 4: don't know, or like, uh, let's say like in Signe
• 21:48
  Speaker 4: for example, like I love in Signe, absolutely love this
• 21:50
  Speaker 4: is a better example. I absolutely love in Signe, absolutely
• 21:53
  Speaker 4: love him. He went to TFC that I shot on
• 21:56
  Speaker 4: napolet just to start supporting TFC. No, you know, like
• 22:00
  Speaker 4: I want I still want him to do well. You know,
• 22:02
  Speaker 4: I still have a very big soft spot for Insignia,
• 22:05
  Speaker 4: But I'm not going to be like, well, you know
• 22:07
  Speaker 4: my team now is TFC. No, it doesn't work that way.
• 22:11
  Speaker 4: I think we've always had this discussion of no players
• 22:14
  Speaker 4: bigger than the club. Uh then and then like, I
• 22:16
  Speaker 4: don't think it's more like in the Insignia situation that
• 22:19
  Speaker 4: he thought he was bigger than the club. I'm not
• 22:21
  Speaker 4: saying that, but in the Ausemen situation, it has a
• 22:25
  Speaker 4: bit of that vibe. I don't say it's completely that vibe.
• 22:28
  Speaker 4: I just think the kid right now is getting a
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: little bit too uh, I guess full of himself.
• 22:35
  Speaker 3: Money hungry too, yeah, money like, but.
• 22:37
  Speaker 4: It sounds if he doesn't deserve the money. He's a
• 22:39
  Speaker 4: very talented player, extremely talented player, can can like I don't.
• 22:45
  Speaker 4: I don't blame him for trying to get as much
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: a bag as bad yeah, Like, but I don't blame
• 22:50
  Speaker 4: him for trying to get as much as he wants, Like,
• 22:53
  Speaker 4: I get that. But you have to understand that teams
• 22:56
  Speaker 4: are always going to negotiate. There's always going to be
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: a middle ground. There's always going to be uh, you know,
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: a back and forth. You can't go out there and
• 23:04
  Speaker 4: you can't go out there and expect that, oh, you
• 23:06
  Speaker 4: want your twenty million, like you're fifteen, twenty twelve, whatever million,
• 23:09
  Speaker 4: that you're gonna get it like that. It's never gonna
• 23:11
  Speaker 4: work that way. You have to have your agent negotiate
• 23:14
  Speaker 4: and a value that you're gonna get. There's gonna be
• 23:16
  Speaker 4: no teams out there that are gonna like you ask
• 23:18
  Speaker 4: for Okay, can I have twenty million?
• 23:20
  Speaker 3: Yes? Sure?
• 23:20
  Speaker 4: In the problem no team is gonna do that none,
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: No team in the world is gonna do that. As
• 23:25
  Speaker 4: as badly as they need a striker or as badly
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: as they want you as a player, no team's gonna
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: give you what you want right out the bat, Like
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: I'm pretty sure, Like even guys like Messi and Ronaldo
• 23:35
  Speaker 4: even though they they're legends of the game, they still
• 23:37
  Speaker 4: have to negotiate contracts. Whenever they got you know, like
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: there was still a bit of a back and forth
• 23:41
  Speaker 4: until like so, I don't know. So the fact that
• 23:45
  Speaker 4: uscin Man had this type of mentality is what really
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: like bothers me. And that's, like I said, very thankful
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: for the guy, very thankful for his help and Napoly
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: getting their third school death though, and I wish him
• 23:58
  Speaker 4: the best. I want him to have success, and I
• 24:00
  Speaker 4: don't blame him for getting the bag. The only thing
• 24:03
  Speaker 4: that that put a bit of a sour taste in
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: my mouth it is how you went about it. There
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: was no humility, you know, there was no like, just
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: have some respect for the former club.
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: You can't be like all lovey dove would not and
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: then you know, you don't get your way with the money,
• 24:16
  Speaker 3: and then you you kind.
• 24:17
  Speaker 4: Of turn your back exactly. Yeah, I feel it's a
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: city that's treated you super well no matter what. Even
• 24:24
  Speaker 4: during the during the first wave of issues with with
• 24:28
  Speaker 4: the whole social media thing, the teams that the city
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: still like appreciated you and they were they were they
• 24:33
  Speaker 4: were kind of sad. Imagine you turned your back on them,
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: and they still welcomed you back with open arms, you know,
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: like it's it's crazy, like like guys like he guayin
• 24:42
  Speaker 4: the moment he led for you, they did they basically
• 24:45
  Speaker 4: you know, you know, like like cru crucified him, like
• 24:50
  Speaker 4: drew over all his murals and stuff or whatever thing
• 24:52
  Speaker 4: represented him. They kind of like defastated. Yeah, but after
• 24:58
  Speaker 4: the fact that she kept them out, but right away
• 25:01
  Speaker 4: like yeah, because nobody understood. Nobody understood why. Everyone's like
• 25:04
  Speaker 4: why would he be leaving Napoly his hometown for arrival,
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: and then afterwards the whole Stocker situation why they came
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: to light. Then people finally refer Yeah. But at first, yes,
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: one d ag, you're right. At first people were like that,
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: but like now that now we live in a day
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: and age where it just seems like this information is
• 25:19
  Speaker 4: just out there quickly, because in twenty ten, Twitter was
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: still very new, it was still very.
• 25:24
  Speaker 3: I remember, I remember the social media age.
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: It's yeah, like news travel the way it still travels quickly,
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: but yeah, just the way he went about it was
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: just a si like and people still accept you open arms,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: and it feels like as if he's spat in their faces.
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: You don't do that. But the positive side of things,
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: apparently coming out on Scalia is negotiating an extension to
• 25:43
  Speaker 4: his contract so to to add another two years to it.
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: So that would be very nice, obviously negotiating because he
• 25:49
  Speaker 4: wants a higher salaryich I don't think it's it's uncalled for,
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: but if he's going to grow and mature into the team,
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: he has to understand that the higher salary commends commands, uh,
• 26:02
  Speaker 4: you know, higher expectations and uh and responsibility. And if
• 26:06
  Speaker 4: now that i'll Seemen has gone, you know you're probably
• 26:09
  Speaker 4: the key player on the team. Zelensky's gone. You don't
• 26:12
  Speaker 4: have him in the midfield anymore, you know, like like
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: sure you got mcdomm and a now and you had it.
• 26:18
  Speaker 4: You had It's some reinforcements there, like a Napoliese window
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: was fantastic, don't get me wrong. But it's like you
• 26:24
  Speaker 4: are cab Adonna. That's the best way I can describe it.
• 26:27
  Speaker 4: You are Cabdadonna. As I just say this does a
• 26:29
  Speaker 4: nick I'll say he is mad Adonna's level. But it's
• 26:32
  Speaker 4: just the nickname that we have for him. You know,
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: like you need to play like him now. So uh,
• 26:37
  Speaker 4: this hole end of summer has been quite a rollercoaster
• 26:40
  Speaker 4: of emotions for for Napoly fans, happy things are trying
• 26:44
  Speaker 4: to get settled. But one thing I do want to
• 26:48
  Speaker 4: do is I want to walk on the like with
• 26:52
  Speaker 4: on the side of caution, because even though Napoli won
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: their past two games, one was against Bologna and everyone
• 26:58
  Speaker 4: was against a ten man bottom, you know, so it's
• 27:00
  Speaker 4: like you have to, you know, take the circumstances into
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: into uh, into consideration. And I think Nick we were
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: discussing them. We watched the Romaoyova game. We'll get to
• 27:10
  Speaker 4: that later when you talk to Cuve, But you know,
• 27:12
  Speaker 4: you have to consider those factors a thing like, yeah,
• 27:14
  Speaker 4: you got w's but these are against teams that micro
• 27:17
  Speaker 4: bottom has been playing fantastic, but they've been playing fantastic,
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: so let's we have to be careful what he said that.
• 27:22
  Speaker 4: But it is a ten man team, so.
• 27:25
  Speaker 3: Your first test, I think your first test is against
• 27:27
  Speaker 3: you in two weeks or three weeks, whatever it is.
• 27:30
  Speaker 4: And hopefully Lukaku gets more of an informed shape for
• 27:33
  Speaker 4: that because if they have if Ifnopoly wants any chance
• 27:38
  Speaker 4: of beating juve that game. Besides, you've a just throwing
• 27:41
  Speaker 4: the game and like playing too many of their kids.
• 27:45
  Speaker 4: They need Lukaku to bully that back line, and uh
• 27:49
  Speaker 4: di is a is a great tendy and uh if
• 27:54
  Speaker 4: you want to be a guy like that, you need
• 27:55
  Speaker 4: your striker to be in top form.
• 27:56
  Speaker 3: So thank you. Just to go back, just to quickly
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: on the Uceran thing and then don't okaku there. Uh
• 28:04
  Speaker 3: it's crazy because this is just a direct direct loan,
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken, That's what I was hearing. And
• 28:09
  Speaker 3: so it's a straight loan. They're paying Tasa, that's paying
• 28:12
  Speaker 3: the salary of what is the nine to ten million
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: whatever it is.
• 28:14
  Speaker 4: Yeah, but they have the option to h they get
• 28:17
  Speaker 4: I think they get like the adoption to pay first
• 28:19
  Speaker 4: DIBs on his release clause if they want it. Like,
• 28:22
  Speaker 4: but that's the thing.
• 28:22
  Speaker 3: So so Osaman does this whole prima dona thing and
• 28:25
  Speaker 3: whatever finally gets his way goes together. The task that
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: I had not his first option. I don't even think
• 28:29
  Speaker 3: it's the third option. They're paying the salary or whatever, Okay,
• 28:34
  Speaker 3: but he still has to return and he has to
• 28:36
  Speaker 3: extend it. I was reading that they're going to extend
• 28:39
  Speaker 3: this contract until twenty twenty seven, lower the release clause
• 28:42
  Speaker 3: about seventy five MILI and then, like you said, Tessa,
• 28:45
  Speaker 3: I has first saw first bits or dips sorry of that.
• 28:50
  Speaker 3: So we spoke about it even a couple of weeks
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: ago that we thought this whole saga was a bit weird.
• 28:54
  Speaker 3: I really, for me, it's a big shame honestly with
• 28:59
  Speaker 3: this wholesuman thing. Like I even I said it, you
• 29:02
  Speaker 3: know from school that to winner to to this, it
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: just it's very, very very strange. And listen, I don't
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: know it's I think somewhat over with this move. But
• 29:13
  Speaker 3: we'll see what happens once he comes back and what
• 29:16
  Speaker 3: not we can do business wise to sell him off
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: or somebody picks up that that that release clause. But
• 29:23
  Speaker 3: another thing on us on Lucaku is is I said
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: it when we when we when we opened the preview show.
• 29:31
  Speaker 3: I remember, I mean, like I said, if not we
• 29:33
  Speaker 3: gets awesome. If we gets Lucaku, sorry, it's going to
• 29:38
  Speaker 3: be a different Napoo. And again it's small sample size,
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: but I think if there's any if there's any striker
• 29:45
  Speaker 3: that can do well under I like it's him. We
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: said it, Johnny said it. We all know it. So
• 29:51
  Speaker 3: I think as the weeks progress, I think is you're
• 29:54
  Speaker 3: going to continue to see more of Lukaku. And I
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: think Nick, I think we got a I think we've
• 30:00
  Speaker 3: got a question concerning mist again.
• 30:03
  Speaker 1: Yeah, actually from our friends at San Gnado. Uh, Lucaco
• 30:07
  Speaker 1: gold predictions.
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: Yes, that's a good one. How many.
• 30:15
  Speaker 4: I I I'll start off, I think because I don't
• 30:20
  Speaker 4: think he gets complete playing time. I think he split
• 30:22
  Speaker 4: to Simeon as well.
• 30:25
  Speaker 3: Really okay, I mean.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: Like like like you could probably put Lucaco's is like
• 30:29
  Speaker 4: like sixty seventy and like at the seventieth minute you
• 30:31
  Speaker 4: swap them on for Simeone, use Simioni as a super
• 30:33
  Speaker 4: sub or even if he wants to use an aspidality.
• 30:37
  Speaker 4: I think I think Conte really is trying something but hospitality.
• 30:45
  Speaker 4: I'd say in the fifteenth to twenty range, I'm probably
• 30:47
  Speaker 4: gonna say something like seventeen goals. I say fifteenth to
• 30:51
  Speaker 4: twenty range, I say something seventeen goals.
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: I'd agree with that.
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: Yeah for me too, For if they need to be
• 30:57
  Speaker 3: if they want to be successful, and if they really
• 30:59
  Speaker 3: have a really serious and if my prediction somehow comes
• 31:03
  Speaker 3: true of them. We're into Scudetto. They need a guy
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: like Lucaku to score at least fifteen goals at a
• 31:09
  Speaker 3: minimum in this league, at a very minimum, they need
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: him to score at least fifteen goals. I think anything
• 31:16
  Speaker 3: more than that, once you get close to twenty in
• 31:19
  Speaker 3: the twenties, becomes more of a bonus because, like you said, Johnny,
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: they do have pieces to contribute alongside a guy like Lucaku.
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: You know, you still have Vardascalia, you still have Dospadori Simone,
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: you include a guy like Nerez there who looks like
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: a pretty interesting piece on the right hand side. Politano
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: is still around two, so you know, and your midfield
• 31:45
  Speaker 3: is getting involved as well, and you've added in the
• 31:47
  Speaker 3: midfield too. So I think if they're again, if they
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: want to be serious and they really want to push
• 31:51
  Speaker 3: for that Scudetto or you know, top four or wherever
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: you want to label, not who's going to end in
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: the season. A guy like Lucaku, which is a big
• 31:59
  Speaker 3: center piece in the attack, fifteen goals at a minimum
• 32:03
  Speaker 3: he needs to score, and anything more than that, I
• 32:05
  Speaker 3: think personally is is a bonus and it can really
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: help him get over uh you know, push him over
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: the edge.
• 32:10
  Speaker 2: And that's what was men scored last year he scored fifteen,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: so if they replaced.
• 32:13
  Speaker 3: It, and then in the year before, the year before,
• 32:17
  Speaker 3: six year before.
• 32:18
  Speaker 1: Fourteen, so you know, you know, he had a purple
• 32:21
  Speaker 1: patch season two years ago when he won, and you know,
• 32:26
  Speaker 1: you see, you know, he's more of a fifteen to
• 32:28
  Speaker 1: twenty goal scorers, you know, and which Lukaku is too.
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: But we'll see, especially at his at his age, Lukaku,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: I forgot how old he is.
• 32:36
  Speaker 4: He's thirty one years old. He's uh thirty one years older. No,
• 32:41
  Speaker 4: because I always Forgaret because I always think so because
• 32:44
  Speaker 4: I always think he is older. But then I realized
• 32:45
  Speaker 4: this guy's a year younger than me, and I'm like,
• 32:47
  Speaker 4: oh my god.
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, it feels like he's been around forever.
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: Like I I don't remember the time when Lukaku wasn't
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: a player.
• 32:54
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 32:54
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but Johnny, our big game of the weekend Juve
• 33:00
  Speaker 1: Roma that.
• 33:01
  Speaker 2: We watched at Roma Cafe here in Montreal.
• 33:03
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so Cafe Roma, Sorry, Uh so shout out
• 33:06
  Speaker 1: to them.
• 33:07
  Speaker 2: Uh nothing happening happening there is There was zero really yeah.
• 33:12
  Speaker 1: Really, it's a game that puts you to sleep on
• 33:14
  Speaker 1: a Sunday afternoon. Not many chances. I mean, I'm gonna
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: look at the stats.
• 33:19
  Speaker 3: Not even when coffee Cafe at Roma could have kept
• 33:21
  Speaker 3: these guys away. That's what that's exactly.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: It was a good coffee one shot on target each
• 33:27
  Speaker 1: eight attempts for you, seven for Romo. Just just a
• 33:31
  Speaker 1: boring game. I'll see it right now. It's a boring game.
• 33:34
  Speaker 1: And you know what, for you, it's it's a bit
• 33:36
  Speaker 1: disappointing because you know, we start the season well with
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: three nothing wins against LS Ronan and then Como. And
• 33:41
  Speaker 1: I said it last week or I don't know if
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: I said it on this podcast or I kind of
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: uh set it in my head, but this is a
• 33:48
  Speaker 1: game that you said it, said it on the podcast.
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: This is a game where it's gonna really count. It's
• 33:53
  Speaker 3: a real test.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's a really this was the first test.
• 33:56
  Speaker 3: You don't know that.
• 33:57
  Speaker 1: You know, no disrespect to Hellis and and Como, but
• 34:00
  Speaker 1: these are bottom table, mid table even City'll be teams
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: that they should be winning three nothing to no matter
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: who their coach is. But your real test is Roma.
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: And I said last week. If you want to compete
• 34:09
  Speaker 1: for the school that you need three points against these
• 34:12
  Speaker 1: top teams. And so the fact that it finished zero
• 34:15
  Speaker 1: zero with with one shot on target. And this is
• 34:18
  Speaker 1: a week that you know Manta and his press conference
• 34:21
  Speaker 1: is all we want to play attacking football.
• 34:23
  Speaker 2: You know, these new players come and in their press conferences.
• 34:25
  Speaker 1: Oh, I like the project because because we could play
• 34:28
  Speaker 1: attacking football. I didn't see any of that. Again, I
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: know it's one game. I'm not gonna overreact, but you know, guys,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: just walk the walk. Stop with this talking.
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: Enough. We had enough of this with the legry he did.
• 34:40
  Speaker 1: He did the same thing, except for he did say
• 34:42
  Speaker 1: we're we're gonna win games one nothing. And they did
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: win games one nothing. Sometimes they had games won one
• 34:48
  Speaker 1: or lost games one nothing as well. But you know,
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: enough of this Champagne football. Just get the just get
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: their job done. That's all I want to see, you
• 34:56
  Speaker 1: know Mtlonta, right, that's Ve's model. Winning isn't important. It's
• 35:02
  Speaker 1: the only thing that matters. So you know, I don't
• 35:05
  Speaker 1: want to hear excuses. Aw it was you know, third
• 35:09
  Speaker 1: game under Mott, all these players this and that.
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: No, No, I don't want to hear that.
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: What one thing I'll say, I I you could tell
• 35:18
  Speaker 1: you can't tell that it was a lot of players
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: first games playing together, you know, lineup wise, they went
• 35:24
  Speaker 1: for a similar lineup for the first two games, but
• 35:26
  Speaker 1: and then the same subs who came on. Four to
• 35:29
  Speaker 1: the five subs were new players and besides Quince sau Uh,
• 35:34
  Speaker 1: you could tell they kind of struggled, especially Kuo miners me.
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: You know, I know he's been out of training for
• 35:38
  Speaker 1: a while. He really did not have a good game.
• 35:40
  Speaker 1: Lost a lot of battles, lost a lot of balls.
• 35:43
  Speaker 1: The only player I really like was Quincy Saw. He
• 35:45
  Speaker 1: was surprised and I was. I told Jenny while watching it,
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: you know, he's the one player that I don't know
• 35:50
  Speaker 1: what to expect because he's young, he's he's smaller, you know.
• 35:54
  Speaker 1: He you know, I watched him at the Euros. I
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: remember seeing him play for Portugal, but he was the
• 35:58
  Speaker 1: guy who came on late. So you know, maybe I
• 36:01
  Speaker 1: wonder if he's gonna have the same role with you.
• 36:03
  Speaker 2: But he came on.
• 36:04
  Speaker 1: He won battles. That's what I like to see. He
• 36:06
  Speaker 1: won about he was creating chances. He's one of the
• 36:08
  Speaker 1: only players creating chances, so you know, of those out
• 36:11
  Speaker 1: of the new group, uh, you know, for right.
• 36:13
  Speaker 2: Now is my favorite. I still do have high expectations
• 36:17
  Speaker 2: for coop miners, but we'll see.
• 36:19
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 36:20
  Speaker 1: For me, what's important next is is Emply and then
• 36:23
  Speaker 1: right after I think they played Napoly in two weeks,
• 36:26
  Speaker 1: so you know, you got to get back on winning
• 36:28
  Speaker 1: wats against Emply and then again nopolies that that next test,
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: and by then you're gonna have a different starting eleven.
• 36:35
  Speaker 1: These guys like kul Miners, Nico Gonzalez, maybe even Douglas Louise,
• 36:40
  Speaker 1: they're gonna be integrated into the starting lineup. So I
• 36:42
  Speaker 1: want to see that progress.
• 36:44
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 36:45
  Speaker 1: Uh, people online are saying, okay, yeah, it's only a
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: third game, so yeah, this is this is probably the
• 36:51
  Speaker 1: bottom right now that this is this is just the start.
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: This one way to go is up. At least they
• 36:57
  Speaker 2: didn't lose the game.
• 36:58
  Speaker 1: Uh you know, at least it is that they don't
• 37:00
  Speaker 1: roma had a good chance right at the end that
• 37:03
  Speaker 1: almost cost.
• 37:03
  Speaker 2: Them cost the you the draw. So yeah, we'll see.
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: I'm still gonna be patient, but like I said, it's
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: a results based business. I don't care how they play.
• 37:14
  Speaker 1: I really, I don't care if they they have fifteen
• 37:16
  Speaker 1: to eighty five percent possession, get out shot.
• 37:19
  Speaker 2: Twenty to one and they score with that one goal
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: and then win one. Nothing.
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: I don't give a shit, you know, I just want
• 37:26
  Speaker 1: to see you win. I want to see them battle
• 37:27
  Speaker 1: for the Schutto. It's as simple as that. Uh, Jenny, do.
• 37:31
  Speaker 3: I feel like we're talking to a leg here, Jenny, No, seriously,
• 37:35
  Speaker 3: You're right.
• 37:37
  Speaker 4: He's complete, but he's completely right, like we're watching. We
• 37:40
  Speaker 4: were watching the game, and it just it didn't feel
• 37:45
  Speaker 4: like like there was effort from both sides, but it
• 37:49
  Speaker 4: felt like a very equal game. And you know, it
• 37:52
  Speaker 4: just showed, like I good, Nick was right. It did
• 37:55
  Speaker 4: show like Thiago Mata's first real test was against it allma,
• 37:58
  Speaker 4: and uh, you know, did he deliver? Not really? Like
• 38:02
  Speaker 4: like I said, the lineup was also a bit of
• 38:03
  Speaker 4: a questionable line up, even for a Roma side of things,
• 38:06
  Speaker 4: But all in all, it was just nothing. Nothing work.
• 38:10
  Speaker 4: Players got their chances, but there's nothing super threatening. Defensively,
• 38:13
  Speaker 4: Both teams played well, but still like there were expectations
• 38:21
  Speaker 4: and so far he hasn't delivered. So I'll sympathize with
• 38:24
  Speaker 4: him there.
• 38:25
  Speaker 3: But.
• 38:27
  Speaker 4: You know, they still still have six goals. For the
• 38:31
  Speaker 4: reason why I'm saying this is because Romo's only got
• 38:34
  Speaker 4: one goal for you know, they they even yeah, Romo
• 38:39
  Speaker 4: has only got one goal in three games. Now. That's
• 38:42
  Speaker 4: where I was super irritated from because it's like, Okay,
• 38:44
  Speaker 4: I understand you play against event this, You're not going
• 38:46
  Speaker 4: to score every game versus Juvent this, but so sure, whatever,
• 38:50
  Speaker 4: but the fact that you only have one goal in
• 38:52
  Speaker 4: three games now is concerning. Like I said, it's not
• 38:56
  Speaker 4: me crapping on ded Asie as a player, as a person,
• 38:59
  Speaker 4: I loved as but right now, your team's not giving
• 39:02
  Speaker 4: you what you need, what you needed to give you, you know. Yeah,
• 39:09
  Speaker 4: like like they had some shots but only hold on,
• 39:13
  Speaker 4: let me have the numbers here looking for it.
• 39:15
  Speaker 3: Even one or seven?
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: Yeah, eight attempted for you, a seven for Roma.
• 39:21
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and one both and one teams one each on target.
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: Like that's embarrassing.
• 39:26
  Speaker 4: It was exactly So it's it's a bit weird now
• 39:33
  Speaker 4: now smalling for examples leaving the team. You know, they
• 39:37
  Speaker 4: basically let him walk because they don't have him any space,
• 39:41
  Speaker 4: and and and the roster which it sucks because I
• 39:44
  Speaker 4: like Smalling, but I take him for his time. But
• 39:47
  Speaker 4: now you're getting new new faces in the dressing room, right,
• 39:49
  Speaker 4: So we were discussing it. I think it was at
• 39:52
  Speaker 4: the cafe where it's like if you have a continuous
• 39:54
  Speaker 4: revolving door of players, like it's hard to establish let's say,
• 39:58
  Speaker 4: a core or like a bit of an identity for
• 40:02
  Speaker 4: the team. You know, uh, like Peligrini right now, your
• 40:06
  Speaker 4: only consistence if I'm looking at the starting lineup right now,
• 40:09
  Speaker 4: has been Peligrini, Cristanteini, Uh nuts, well, spiel Are they
• 40:18
  Speaker 4: got a couple of years back, but only started using
• 40:20
  Speaker 4: him last year. I mean, like all the Zelevski was
• 40:28
  Speaker 4: a call up, which is fine, but like a loan
• 40:33
  Speaker 4: last year, pet and Alti, you know, like it's like
• 40:38
  Speaker 4: you don't have much of like and and like half
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: of those guys were subs, you know, like you don't
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: have right yeah, but the Bala just joined last year.
• 40:47
  Speaker 4: What I'm trying to say is like it's there's there's
• 40:50
  Speaker 4: no it feels like right now the team is just
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: like it's it's still like they're trying to find a glue.
• 40:56
  Speaker 4: They're trying to be taped together right now, which there's
• 40:59
  Speaker 4: a lot of talent on paper on that on that roster,
• 41:02
  Speaker 4: but it's it's it's just it feels like it's awkwardly
• 41:06
  Speaker 4: placed together. I think that OSSI still hasn't figured it
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: out yet, and I think this is one of his
• 41:13
  Speaker 4: I want to say, on his first big challenges, but
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: one of his earlier challenges is not like, Okay, now
• 41:18
  Speaker 4: you have a roster full of quality players, how do
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: you put them together? And how to use them? And
• 41:22
  Speaker 4: I think he should probably look elsewhere in terms of
• 41:27
  Speaker 4: maybe like friends or like former like people that manage
• 41:32
  Speaker 4: teams with a lot of talent and stuff. Just use
• 41:34
  Speaker 4: your contacts, you know, just find out like, Okay, what
• 41:37
  Speaker 4: can what do you think I should do in this situation?
• 41:39
  Speaker 4: Not basically ask the person to coach his team, but
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: you know, like user resources, you have a lot of
• 41:43
  Speaker 4: support the people, and people want to see you succeed.
• 41:46
  Speaker 4: If you're the Daniella that people don't want to see
• 41:48
  Speaker 4: you to fail. They especially when you're managing Norma, they
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: don't want you to They don't want you to fail.
• 41:52
  Speaker 4: They want you to have all the glory, all the success,
• 41:55
  Speaker 4: you know, like be that guy they want you to
• 41:57
  Speaker 4: be the CLAUDII right, want to be the new one,
• 42:01
  Speaker 4: you know, like they they don't want you to be.
• 42:04
  Speaker 4: They don't want you to be somebody who's gonna, you know,
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: fumble and make a mess. So I think he should
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: start using his resources, whatever he has available to him,
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: and just you know, maybe retool the roster because right
• 42:16
  Speaker 4: now you're going to get the rostered lineup that you're doing.
• 42:19
  Speaker 4: You're only getting one goal output in three games. That's
• 42:22
  Speaker 4: embarrassing and that's that's yeah, and you went this aside,
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: you know, like it's that's what's that's what's bothered me.
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: It's like you can't like you like you have as
• 42:34
  Speaker 4: many goals, have many goals VANETs, Yeah, you have many goals,
• 42:37
  Speaker 4: as many goals as Kanyetti. You know, like let say,
• 42:40
  Speaker 4: like there's no team right now that's that's in the
• 42:42
  Speaker 4: top half of the table that has less than three goals.
• 42:47
  Speaker 4: The lowest is genuine a tenth place with three goals.
• 42:51
  Speaker 4: Imagine Atalanta's the twelfth and he scored five. You know
• 42:54
  Speaker 4: what I'm saying, Like you need some form of offense.
• 42:56
  Speaker 4: Your defense is playing very well. I'm not like you've
• 42:59
  Speaker 4: only let in two goals in three games. That's that's great.
• 43:02
  Speaker 4: You know how many teams can say that? But how
• 43:04
  Speaker 4: many have you been putting in the back in the night?
• 43:05
  Speaker 4: That's the question. First game I even argued, that's like, okay,
• 43:08
  Speaker 4: they just missed out on their opportunities. But then it
• 43:10
  Speaker 4: just seemed to be a recurring theme. I'm like, okay,
• 43:12
  Speaker 4: I'll give him a game pass, you know, and then
• 43:14
  Speaker 4: it's like okay, but like it just seems like it's
• 43:18
  Speaker 4: a recurring story. You purchase players like Dolph bic to
• 43:21
  Speaker 4: to like you know who you know did very well
• 43:23
  Speaker 4: in the league last year, you.
• 43:25
  Speaker 3: Know, goalscorer, I think, right, yeah, and he's.
• 43:28
  Speaker 4: Ballon d'Or nominee. Right, you're celebrating that fact.
• 43:31
  Speaker 3: But hasn't been anything.
• 43:33
  Speaker 4: Yeah, so far in three games, he hasn't been worth
• 43:37
  Speaker 4: a penny of what what you pay for him, you know.
• 43:39
  Speaker 4: So that's that's something that I'm not saying. It's I'm
• 43:43
  Speaker 4: not saying pull the like pull the plug on Dove
• 43:45
  Speaker 4: like no, no, no, no, please don't get me the wrong way.
• 43:46
  Speaker 4: It's way too early to say that. But I'm just
• 43:48
  Speaker 4: saying it's started. It's time to start asking questions and
• 43:50
  Speaker 4: going up to and be like, Okay, how can I
• 43:53
  Speaker 4: help you find success? Essentially have a talk with your players. Yeah,
• 43:58
  Speaker 4: just just figure something out.
• 44:00
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 44:00
  Speaker 4: Maybe it's maybe it's the formation, maybe certain players should
• 44:03
  Speaker 4: be playing with other players, who knows.
• 44:05
  Speaker 3: But the lack of service too.
• 44:08
  Speaker 4: Yeah, this is this is this is a this is
• 44:11
  Speaker 4: an issue that that that needs to solve.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: Is it? Is it? Panic? Is it? Okay? So when
• 44:16
  Speaker 3: you say no panic, but like for Dosi's sake, is
• 44:19
  Speaker 3: it because like we spoke, I spoke about the me one,
• 44:23
  Speaker 3: the mean one aspect of things. With sec it's not
• 44:25
  Speaker 3: going great, I think obviously Juventus with a new manager,
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: it's it's it's going well. First test. Okay, that didn't
• 44:31
  Speaker 3: pass the test, but you know, still got that sixty,
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: So you're sorry it didn't didn't feel miserably, you still
• 44:37
  Speaker 3: got that sixty. You were able to still pass. Uh
• 44:41
  Speaker 3: for for for Dodossi, is it anywhere in terms of
• 44:46
  Speaker 3: the same category as a guy like Fonseca or or
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: or no, because like you said, one goal in three games. Uh,
• 44:53
  Speaker 3: that put the teams that they play against again, Correct
• 44:56
  Speaker 3: me if I'm wrong. It's what was emply.
• 44:59
  Speaker 4: And it was emply Calieri that's the good one that
• 45:04
  Speaker 4: they tied one to one another, tied zero zero.
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: To U exactly. So for that Assie, is it is it?
• 45:11
  Speaker 3: Is it anywhere near the panic mode or or you're
• 45:14
  Speaker 3: still ready to give him, give him his time and
• 45:17
  Speaker 3: continue on.
• 45:17
  Speaker 4: The starry my mistake they lost two one tip and
• 45:19
  Speaker 4: they tied Zerozo Cagey any of my bad. Yeah, well
• 45:23
  Speaker 4: it's not a panic mode thing because I think that
• 45:25
  Speaker 4: Ossi is doing is doing well in terms of the
• 45:27
  Speaker 4: defensive lineup for the team, and it seemed like one
• 45:30
  Speaker 4: thing that you're watching the uv Roma games that defenders
• 45:32
  Speaker 4: are reading the plays very well. Besides one very good
• 45:36
  Speaker 4: chance that Vladovic really messed up on uh, it seemed
• 45:39
  Speaker 4: that overall the threat was pretty much new uh neutered
• 45:45
  Speaker 4: in uh in Uve from from Roma's half, from Roma's parts. Sorry,
• 45:51
  Speaker 4: so I wouldn't say it's like, okay, smash that panic
• 45:53
  Speaker 4: button for Dedostie. Not yet. He's also very green compared
• 45:57
  Speaker 4: to Fonseca, who Fonseca asked manages the app before and
• 46:01
  Speaker 4: also team expectations. You know, Melan has finished second. Last
• 46:05
  Speaker 4: year they won the scudetto two years before that. It's
• 46:12
  Speaker 4: it's it's not like as if like melons in the
• 46:14
  Speaker 4: in the in the spot right now where they can
• 46:17
  Speaker 4: take I don't say losses, but like they can take
• 46:21
  Speaker 4: a few bumps, like they're they're basically like, Okay, we
• 46:23
  Speaker 4: need Fonzeca to hold the line while we find our
• 46:26
  Speaker 4: next permanent coach to basically elevate this team back into
• 46:30
  Speaker 4: scudetto winning positions, and right now he's not even delivering
• 46:34
  Speaker 4: for that for a melan, you know. So it's because
• 46:36
  Speaker 4: because they can't. They just can't do anything. They just
• 46:39
  Speaker 4: you know, they they can't. They can't like they they
• 46:42
  Speaker 4: can't hold the line. They're just leaking goals, you know.
• 46:44
  Speaker 4: So whereas for dead Assie, it's like he's getting some
• 46:49
  Speaker 4: things right. It's not as if it's all it's all bad.
• 46:51
  Speaker 4: And Roma's expectations is to hit the top four Romos.
• 46:55
  Speaker 4: That's that's what the expectations are for the team, is
• 46:57
  Speaker 4: to hit top four. It's always got to be that
• 47:00
  Speaker 4: way until they get back into that regular position. So
• 47:03
  Speaker 4: until then, it's like, okay, well, your goals are I
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: don't say low, but they're not like, okay, maintaining the
• 47:10
  Speaker 4: top four status. It's more like, just get into that
• 47:12
  Speaker 4: top four spot. So that's that's that's where he has
• 47:16
  Speaker 4: a bit of a bit of a longer leash. Now,
• 47:19
  Speaker 4: will I be singing the same tune in about five
• 47:21
  Speaker 4: six games for now things don't change? Probably not, But
• 47:26
  Speaker 4: but it wouldn't be more of a I hate that assie,
• 47:29
  Speaker 4: get him out type of Vibe'd be more like, maybe
• 47:31
  Speaker 4: this was too much for DEAs to handle at this
• 47:33
  Speaker 4: stage in his career, too early in his career. I
• 47:37
  Speaker 4: do appreciate the fact that he's that, you know, like
• 47:40
  Speaker 4: for Bendetta, just like supporting the team. One love it.
• 47:44
  Speaker 4: But maybe this was too much of a big bite
• 47:47
  Speaker 4: that he took. Maybe you need to like just stick
• 47:49
  Speaker 4: stick around with a bit of a setiat B team
• 47:51
  Speaker 4: or even a junior team. Still, maybe he got to
• 47:54
  Speaker 4: a lower tier city team and then just go from there.
• 47:56
  Speaker 4: You know, look at look at Peribal people right now.
• 47:58
  Speaker 4: Is not he just got fired Sandodia. You know, like
• 48:01
  Speaker 4: he's he's gonna have like some some rough patches. Do
• 48:04
  Speaker 4: I think Pierlo is a horrible coach? No, he did
• 48:07
  Speaker 4: things with players that I think were really good. He's
• 48:09
  Speaker 4: got some great ideas, if he has the right talented
• 48:10
  Speaker 4: players around him, you can figure things out. But you know,
• 48:13
  Speaker 4: Pilo is not going to be fantastic at the gate
• 48:15
  Speaker 4: as as he's a mastermind on the field, but doesn't
• 48:17
  Speaker 4: mean that he can translate that information to the team
• 48:19
  Speaker 4: in front of him, and everyone's gonna be like, yeah,
• 48:21
  Speaker 4: but what about like Ziddan inherited but like a godly
• 48:25
  Speaker 4: real Madrid team.
• 48:26
  Speaker 3: When you have that team for three, yeah many years
• 48:29
  Speaker 3: he was there.
• 48:29
  Speaker 4: Yeah, like it doesn't it doesn't make sense, you know,
• 48:31
  Speaker 4: it's and you also have to consider the fact that
• 48:35
  Speaker 4: like not only you have that much, that much of
• 48:37
  Speaker 4: a talented team, but guys like Ronaldo Benzim all that stuff,
• 48:40
  Speaker 4: they're gonna respect you because you also walk the walk
• 48:45
  Speaker 4: on the pitch. So whatever your whatever you suggest or say,
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: they're gonna go for. And they're not going to give
• 48:50
  Speaker 4: you talk back because because he can say yeah, but
• 48:54
  Speaker 4: you know, like I'm suggesting this, how you play this?
• 48:56
  Speaker 4: But like like I've I've won the World Cup before,
• 48:59
  Speaker 4: I've won a UPS champions like you know what I mean,
• 49:01
  Speaker 4: Like he's his pedigree is high, Yeah, exactly that as
• 49:06
  Speaker 4: you know, won the World Cup as a player won
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: the Euro as a manager, as a team assistant, you know,
• 49:11
  Speaker 4: like he But you know, it's not everybody. I'm not
• 49:15
  Speaker 4: saying that he's anywhere news to that level playing on
• 49:18
  Speaker 4: the pitch. So but that's that's that's that's that's that's
• 49:20
  Speaker 4: not what the main point of the conversation is that
• 49:22
  Speaker 4: Aussie might be a bit too green for this right now,
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: but not smashing that button just yet.
• 49:27
  Speaker 3: Even even a guy like we said it on the
• 49:29
  Speaker 3: show before and in the past, but even a guy
• 49:31
  Speaker 3: at Monta right a month, like his early stints like
• 49:35
  Speaker 3: like was it Genoa even expects I think he was
• 49:39
  Speaker 3: expected it. It wasn't anything to write home about. But listen,
• 49:42
  Speaker 3: he did that grind and like you said, John, you know,
• 49:45
  Speaker 3: he went from you know I said, a big team
• 49:48
  Speaker 3: or lower end said team and kind of worked his
• 49:50
  Speaker 3: way up. And now he's in a position of you know,
• 49:54
  Speaker 3: guiding a team like Juventus you know, uh to to
• 49:58
  Speaker 3: you know, winning ways and you know, really doing some
• 50:01
  Speaker 3: early damage in the league. So I think it's always
• 50:05
  Speaker 3: that grind is always good. I think guys like you
• 50:08
  Speaker 3: mentioned Pier Low and and now they're all see I
• 50:11
  Speaker 3: think they they've done it's unfortunate because they got maybe
• 50:14
  Speaker 3: put into these situations or they took the situations because
• 50:17
  Speaker 3: it was there for them to take. But it kind
• 50:19
  Speaker 3: of doing a bit back It's a bit backwards, right,
• 50:21
  Speaker 3: and they started at that top level and now they're
• 50:24
  Speaker 3: kind of having to really you know, see where they
• 50:27
  Speaker 3: see where they really fall. So but you know, it's
• 50:31
  Speaker 3: the kind of is what it is.
• 50:33
  Speaker 1: Uh, I'm talking about you know, top four the table.
• 50:36
  Speaker 1: But one team that's comfortable, not comfortably in first, but
• 50:39
  Speaker 1: the first place team after three games. Here is Inter
• 50:41
  Speaker 1: who beat Atlanta for nothing Day Tour two goals, second
• 50:47
  Speaker 1: double of the season, four goals now in three games.
• 50:51
  Speaker 1: I mean after three games, it's safe to say he's
• 50:55
  Speaker 1: the m v P already of the season. But is
• 50:57
  Speaker 1: he the best player in the city. Think that that's
• 51:00
  Speaker 1: more of a debate.
• 51:02
  Speaker 3: M M.
• 51:03
  Speaker 1: I think he's challenged by his his mate there lot Taro.
• 51:07
  Speaker 2: For me, I've you know, he's a player I've I've
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: praised a lot.
• 51:12
  Speaker 3: Well, he'd beat couple. That's another debate too, like who
• 51:14
  Speaker 3: will be a couple? Does he run away with it?
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: Like it only one player could score score goals at
• 51:21
  Speaker 1: ter you know, so well at a time at a time,
• 51:26
  Speaker 1: he could win for nothing, probably every game. But I
• 51:30
  Speaker 1: mean the way the way it's going Marcus to ram is,
• 51:33
  Speaker 1: you know, if if he can continue to this place
• 51:35
  Speaker 1: to listen, he had thirteen goals last season in his
• 51:38
  Speaker 1: first year in the city. And you know, we talked
• 51:41
  Speaker 1: about oz Men Osiman in his ten His first season
• 51:45
  Speaker 1: he had ten goals.
• 51:46
  Speaker 2: Second season he had fourteen. Third season, they had twenty six.
• 51:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 51:51
  Speaker 1: If I'm joined at an older age then than osi
• 51:54
  Speaker 1: Men did, but you know, heck, he could be doing
• 51:57
  Speaker 1: this a season a season quicker than ozi Men Where
• 52:01
  Speaker 1: he gets twenty plus, I could I could see him
• 52:03
  Speaker 1: getting to twenty plus. I could also see Latawer getting
• 52:06
  Speaker 1: to twenty plus. But I don't see them getting yes,
• 52:09
  Speaker 1: but not together. I think I think it will be
• 52:12
  Speaker 1: one or the other, Like whoever's hot's just gonna continue scoring.
• 52:16
  Speaker 1: It's it's so hard for two players on the same
• 52:18
  Speaker 1: team for to score twenty goals each. Yeah, pretty in
• 52:20
  Speaker 1: thirty eight games plus Champions League and all the extra
• 52:24
  Speaker 1: games are playing like after a while, one of them
• 52:26
  Speaker 1: is gonna be rested every so often.
• 52:29
  Speaker 3: So injury or just yeah, injury form.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but the fact that, the fact alone that that Tom,
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: it's the second season, there's no transition period now.
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: And he's just gonna go. He's just gonna gout for it.
• 52:40
  Speaker 1: I I know, I said latyros My my early season
• 52:45
  Speaker 1: a couple yet it but I think this is this
• 52:47
  Speaker 1: is gonna be a real breakout season for Marcus Duram.
• 52:51
  Speaker 3: Yeah. No, I listen. I think, you know, Inter we're
• 52:54
  Speaker 3: smart to make that move and get him in, and
• 52:58
  Speaker 3: I think he's kind of just not only has he
• 53:01
  Speaker 3: settled well, like in the new league and a new
• 53:03
  Speaker 3: team and you know, new system, new coach and all that,
• 53:06
  Speaker 3: but I think he's also fallen into a team that.
• 53:12
  Speaker 5: Is able to utilize him well and he kind of
• 53:15
  Speaker 5: he kind of just fell in a like I wouldn't
• 53:17
  Speaker 5: say perfect, but almost perfect situation, like he could have
• 53:20
  Speaker 5: went to any other team he could have went to,
• 53:22
  Speaker 5: like maybe like at United. Right now, United is like
• 53:24
  Speaker 5: really looking like crap, Like they you know, they picked
• 53:27
  Speaker 5: up Hoyle in a couple of seas agoing now that
• 53:29
  Speaker 5: the day this season, they've made all kinds of you know,
• 53:32
  Speaker 5: business moves and they're still struggling.
• 53:35
  Speaker 3: Right So Turam as a player. He's still young.
• 53:39
  Speaker 5: I think answer that question that you may may I
• 53:41
  Speaker 5: think he is just a tad older than usman, but
• 53:43
  Speaker 5: still very still in his mid twenties, I believe. I
• 53:47
  Speaker 5: think just the situation that he found himself in ad
• 53:49
  Speaker 5: in there was you know, pretty desirable. And I think
• 53:52
  Speaker 5: that helps as well too. It's like, already like around
• 53:56
  Speaker 5: your surroundings around you are are good enough to say that.
• 54:00
  Speaker 3: Even if I'm not scoring at a at a rate,
• 54:02
  Speaker 3: that's that I know I can. It's okay, you know
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: in quotations, because I have guys around me like Altaro.
• 54:10
  Speaker 3: You know, uh that that's you know, that's able to produce.
• 54:14
  Speaker 3: Now the out of guy tend me as well, you know.
• 54:18
  Speaker 3: So I think the situation also helps his cause.
• 54:24
  Speaker 5: But yeah, I know, listen, he's he's he's able to
• 54:28
  Speaker 5: score in this league. It's it's now very evident. How
• 54:31
  Speaker 5: many will you score? Will be a couple of cunning
• 54:33
  Speaker 5: at the end of the season. I think only time
• 54:35
  Speaker 5: will tell. But again it's, uh, it's we don't know,
• 54:39
  Speaker 5: it's very very early. But he has all the tools
• 54:42
  Speaker 5: I think to be that guy come the end of
• 54:45
  Speaker 5: the season. You know, there were stretches where you know,
• 54:50
  Speaker 5: a guy like but It was winning it every year.
• 54:52
  Speaker 3: You know. Then you get a guy like Osman being
• 54:56
  Speaker 3: a kind of a new guy on the block and
• 54:57
  Speaker 3: he and he breaks that that streak and he it
• 55:00
  Speaker 3: becomes him. Osman is no longer in the picture, is
• 55:04
  Speaker 3: no longer in the picture. In there are after that
• 55:07
  Speaker 3: first game Bunder against Genua, are finding their form and
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: their rhythm. And I don't know how many goals has
• 55:15
  Speaker 3: Lata scored? Has he scored yet?
• 55:21
  Speaker 5: I don't even I haven't, I haven't double check might
• 55:25
  Speaker 5: bring that up, because I don't even think he's like
• 55:28
  Speaker 5: Lats at his well, he isn't.
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: I don't think, in my opinion, he's I don't think.
• 55:31
  Speaker 5: He's at his his best yet, So I think has
• 55:36
  Speaker 5: a bit of a head start on that.
• 55:37
  Speaker 4: I don't think he's scored yet.
• 55:38
  Speaker 2: No, right, I don't think so Nope.
• 55:41
  Speaker 3: He hasn't scored, hasn't scored, so west we're all blind.
• 55:47
  Speaker 3: He hasn't scored a guy.
• 55:48
  Speaker 5: So I think turam Is is taking that leap forward,
• 55:53
  Speaker 5: and you know he's taking it.
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: He's taking the ball by the horns. No pun intended
• 55:57
  Speaker 3: with al Toro's nick name, but he's taking he's taking
• 56:02
  Speaker 3: that to that position and he's scoring there one accounts and.
• 56:08
  Speaker 5: It seems to be in bunches. We'll see how long
• 56:10
  Speaker 5: that lasts. We know every striker has its has its
• 56:12
  Speaker 5: down period. But if again I'm going to stress this point,
• 56:17
  Speaker 5: if it's not him, it's not the end of the
• 56:19
  Speaker 5: world for this team in inter because there are other
• 56:21
  Speaker 5: pieces that could score and could put the ball in
• 56:23
  Speaker 5: the back of the net.
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: So it just for me and more complimentary piece that
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: can be a bonus. If he scores fifteen twenty twenty
• 56:34
  Speaker 3: plus goals will be a really big, a really big
• 56:37
  Speaker 3: bonus for this seat. But even on Atlanta's sake, like
• 56:44
  Speaker 3: you need to do better.
• 56:45
  Speaker 5: And I know one of the most known goal but Atlanta,
• 56:48
  Speaker 5: I don't know if I think that's pretty just got
• 56:50
  Speaker 5: it wrong from the get.
• 56:50
  Speaker 3: Go or what it was. I don't know. I couldn't.
• 56:52
  Speaker 5: I didn't catch that game folly, to be honest. But
• 56:58
  Speaker 5: Atalanta needs again maybe be our hyper was a bit
• 57:01
  Speaker 5: too premature, but they need to they need to get
• 57:05
  Speaker 5: it right because I think Gus Pudini in a big match,
• 57:11
  Speaker 5: you know, got it wrong unfortunately, and they paid for it,
• 57:16
  Speaker 5: you know, in a in a in a big way,
• 57:19
  Speaker 5: you know, wedding in four goals in a in a in.
• 57:22
  Speaker 3: Was the two weeks ago they put in I think
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: they put in four goals, right, so three four goals.
• 57:26
  Speaker 3: So it's uh, it's.
• 57:28
  Speaker 5: Something that I think Gaspardini has to put behind them
• 57:31
  Speaker 5: and and uh and learn from.
• 57:34
  Speaker 3: It together than.
• 57:38
  Speaker 2: Johnny any thoughts.
• 57:42
  Speaker 4: It's for for for toxic Capkenia. It's kind of early
• 57:45
  Speaker 4: to tell. You know, Turan's got a really good lead
• 57:48
  Speaker 4: right now. Consistently can score. I think he's the only
• 57:52
  Speaker 4: one that probably can can do that consistent pace. I
• 57:55
  Speaker 4: think the tag he is the only one that kind
• 57:57
  Speaker 4: of breaks off in Atalanta. To be honest with you,
• 58:00
  Speaker 4: I think he's the one that's probably gonna be the
• 58:02
  Speaker 4: one that's gonna go a bit further in terms of
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: those goals, that goal scoring. It's like it's a good start.
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: It's a really good start. I don't think. I don't
• 58:14
  Speaker 4: think it's gonna be a runaway in terms of who
• 58:17
  Speaker 4: wins it this year. I think this one, this might
• 58:19
  Speaker 4: be a tighter race compared to last year. But in
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: terms of like I have to go, I have to
• 58:27
  Speaker 4: agree with your point, like, in terms of which teams
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: playing consistently, which teams performing consistently, and who's getting their
• 58:33
  Speaker 4: chances consistently to get these goals, it's probably gonna be
• 58:36
  Speaker 4: that's probably gonna win it, but not by a white margin,
• 58:39
  Speaker 4: I think, because you all have to consider guys like
• 58:43
  Speaker 4: Valovich still having a saying the argument, you know, like,
• 58:49
  Speaker 4: is Leo gonna, you know, just be that winger that
• 58:51
  Speaker 4: just plays in top form as he used to, you know,
• 58:53
  Speaker 4: like you know, but still you have to still consider
• 58:57
  Speaker 4: the fact that now he's got Abraham playing with him stuff.
• 59:00
  Speaker 4: Maybe Tammy might get a like, but they're gonna be
• 59:02
  Speaker 4: sharing a bit of a tool. Yeah, they're gonna be
• 59:05
  Speaker 4: sharing the riches.
• 59:06
  Speaker 3: There.
• 59:06
  Speaker 4: I went into when does madath to come back?
• 59:08
  Speaker 3: I think after after this international break.
• 59:12
  Speaker 4: Ye, once he's back, Once he's back, that just well,
• 59:15
  Speaker 4: that just being that's just being shared between the three
• 59:17
  Speaker 4: because there's so much talent. I'm not saying inter does
• 59:20
  Speaker 4: not have talent, but it's just more like, okay, well
• 59:22
  Speaker 4: Lotato might score goals here and there, but it just
• 59:25
  Speaker 4: seems like we can know that Turround is just the
• 59:27
  Speaker 4: one that's looking like the most inform right now, like
• 59:30
  Speaker 4: the promising one. So it's hard to argue against that.
• 59:34
  Speaker 3: I think. I think the next point that I think
• 59:37
  Speaker 3: is only currently and maybe even well, maybe we'll come
• 59:40
  Speaker 3: back to this and maybe we're right, maybe we're wrong,
• 59:42
  Speaker 3: who knows, But I think it's only you know, competitor
• 59:46
  Speaker 3: really is is like you said, Nick, I think it
• 59:48
  Speaker 3: is about how Martinez. I think it's it's it's gonna
• 59:50
  Speaker 3: be one. It's who's gonna get in the way of who?
• 59:53
  Speaker 3: And you know what, if they're smart, they'll just continue
• 59:55
  Speaker 3: to do what they're doing and and they'll go on
• 59:58
  Speaker 3: their merry way. And whoever wins wins it no bad,
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 3: bad or whatever it is. It's it's an individual war.
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 3: So it's it's it's not it doesn't really mean anything
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: at the end.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 4: Of the day.
• 1:00:06
  Speaker 3: It's it's what the team does. But if there's anybody
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 3: to stumble upon, stumble in front of each other, I
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: think it's them too. And I agree with Nick nixpoint there.
• 1:00:17
  Speaker 2: Uh, moving on, guys, Zudi.
• 1:00:19
  Speaker 1: They're back back in action after the disappointing Eros.
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 2: I almost forgotten what happened at.
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 3: The Euros, you know, just did it happen?
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, shoot it out of my head after I think
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 2: the game was on June.
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: I already forgot that. June twenty eight, June twenty ninth,
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: whatever the day was, the only thing I remember was
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 1: celebrating is the Kindi's goal though against Croatia.
• 1:00:39
  Speaker 2: That was a fun celebration.
• 1:00:41
  Speaker 1: But the squad came out the other day, not as
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 1: many players as there normally was.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 2: I'm just going to quickly go through it.
• 1:00:47
  Speaker 3: Twenty I think he did twenty three exactly.
• 1:00:50
  Speaker 1: I think it was probably it was very Yeah, small squad,
• 1:00:54
  Speaker 1: goalkeepers Don rumam A right, Vicario, defenders de Lorenzo Bostoni,
• 1:00:58
  Speaker 1: di Marco Cambiaso called Fiodi, bun.
• 1:01:04
  Speaker 2: Got, the Udgi Belnova and.
• 1:01:06
  Speaker 1: Okoley young young player from Leicester, and mid Pelgriniini, and
• 1:01:16
  Speaker 1: then up up front. This is very interesting respiratory can
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 1: Reta Gi Zakani. So yeah, these are for Nations League
• 1:01:24
  Speaker 1: games Friday against France at the Park the Price and
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 1: Monday against Israel in Hungary. This, you know, obviously Nations League,
• 1:01:35
  Speaker 1: obviously not as big as heroes or anything, but it's
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: still important. This is still turned them in that it
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 1: leads the past traditions they've gone to the semi finals,
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 1: they've lost, they've won third place, so it'd be nice
• 1:01:45
  Speaker 1: to see them win, especially after what happened. They're in
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 1: a tough group with Frand, France and Belgium. But at
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 1: the end of the day, it's about bouncing back after
• 1:01:54
  Speaker 1: the Euro performance. We you know, I just talked about,
• 1:01:57
  Speaker 1: you know, results based business with you, but I think
• 1:01:59
  Speaker 1: with the it's kind of the opposite. I would I
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 1: just want to see improvement in play. Obviously, it'd be
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: nice to win and advance in this nation's league, but
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: it's not the end of you know, it's not a
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: major tournament. It's not the Euro, it's not the World Cup,
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 1: it's not the World Cup qualification. So this is about
• 1:02:15
  Speaker 1: getting the team ready for World Cup qualification, which I
• 1:02:18
  Speaker 1: think starts next season or in March. I might even
• 1:02:21
  Speaker 1: start in March. And this is a very young team.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: Only four players are older than the age of twenty six.
• 1:02:27
  Speaker 1: Two of them are goalies. One of them is the
• 1:02:29
  Speaker 1: Lorenzo at thirty one and the other is pel Greeney
• 1:02:33
  Speaker 1: at twenty eight. So very young team. A lot of
• 1:02:36
  Speaker 1: twenty two to twenty three twenty four year olds. You know,
• 1:02:40
  Speaker 1: some changes from the eurosquad. I think it's I think
• 1:02:42
  Speaker 1: it's eight players from the Euros.
• 1:02:44
  Speaker 2: Didn't make this this team. I think it's that number.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 2: I'm not convinced on the attack.
• 1:02:49
  Speaker 1: I know there's Red Tegee, but come on, Red Teggie,
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: Keen Raspadori and Zach Kanye.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 2: It feels like in terms of pure strikers, just between
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 2: ret to gain kin is not good at all, even
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 2: you know, even wingers.
• 1:03:06
  Speaker 1: There's no wingers. It depends the formation that Spleti wants
• 1:03:10
  Speaker 1: to go with. Seems like there's a lot of defenders,
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 1: so maybe it's a five three to two or something.
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: I don't know, are or obviously you can go three
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: five to two in that formation as well. But it's
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 1: gonna be tough on Friday against France, obviously against Israel,
• 1:03:24
  Speaker 1: that's a game you know, we should expect Italy to win,
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 1: but it's it's gonna be interesting, guys. It almost feels
• 1:03:31
  Speaker 1: like I wouldn't say it's a rebuild for the Adzuti,
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 1: but it it. It's kind of a reset, you know,
• 1:03:39
  Speaker 1: it's really it's gotten to the point get the old
• 1:03:41
  Speaker 1: guys out. I think Spiletis recognize that and just build
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 1: through this use system, build through guys that could be
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 1: there for the next five years. I know it's it's
• 1:03:51
  Speaker 1: hard to develop a team when you only play two
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 1: games together every month. But you know, I know Spiletti's
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 1: gonna use this time also at COVID channel to to
• 1:04:01
  Speaker 1: to get you know, band the guys together. You don't
• 1:04:04
  Speaker 1: get them in training sessions. Yeah, that that's just my
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 1: thoughts on it. I don't know what do you guys think.
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 4: I would say a retool is a fair statement because
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 4: you're just reassessing what you have available to you. But
• 1:04:22
  Speaker 4: we're not as far off as people believe that we
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 4: are in terms of like being a strong team. Again,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 4: yes we we are lacking some strong offensive talent, but
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 4: you can't say that there's there aren't pieces there. Just
• 1:04:34
  Speaker 4: make yourself decently competitive right now, you know, like it's
• 1:04:38
  Speaker 4: it's like they're there, like we're we're They're a talented nation,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 4: you know. I think tonally coming back is a very
• 1:04:46
  Speaker 4: big factor. But him being out for about a year
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 4: because he's a gambling idiot, is a problem. But we'll
• 1:04:53
  Speaker 4: see how he does. I wanted to succeed, you know,
• 1:04:56
  Speaker 4: they learned his mistakes and then you know, go from
• 1:04:59
  Speaker 4: there and stuff, like everybody makes mistakes. Just being an
• 1:05:02
  Speaker 4: idiot is probably like one of the biggest ones you
• 1:05:05
  Speaker 4: can do. But he was an idiot nonetheless, but him
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 4: being back will definitely change up that mid But Spiletti
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 4: also needs to use this moment as a real tool
• 1:05:15
  Speaker 4: for himself, knowing that you're not It's not like coaching
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 4: a club team where you can demand for players that
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 4: you want any given player that plays any specific way
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 4: in the world. You're limited to your nation's players.
• 1:05:31
  Speaker 3: Now.
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 4: You just so happen to be coaching Italy, a fantastic
• 1:05:36
  Speaker 4: team to coach. You have a wealth of riches of
• 1:05:39
  Speaker 4: talented players or players that you know can be those
• 1:05:43
  Speaker 4: excellent players, but they can't all play the formation that
• 1:05:47
  Speaker 4: you want or the way that you want, Like they
• 1:05:50
  Speaker 4: don't have that much time with you to play that
• 1:05:52
  Speaker 4: type of style. You need to kind of adapt to
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 4: their needs and utilize them in a way where they
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 4: can find success in some way, shape or form. Like
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 4: I said, that was the big takeaway that I took
• 1:06:04
  Speaker 4: from the Euros a few episodes back, where it's like,
• 1:06:07
  Speaker 4: you know, you're putting Pelagreni in the left wing slot
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 4: and it's like it's a bit too, Like it's a
• 1:06:11
  Speaker 4: bit out of the guy who's been playing central mid
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 4: for like the past two three years, and while you're
• 1:06:15
  Speaker 4: doing that for him. Now you know what I'm saying,
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: Like it's it's it's tough. Like that's just small examples
• 1:06:18
  Speaker 4: Badella playing your defensive mid like, don't Badilla is out
• 1:06:21
  Speaker 4: of defensive mid. Mind you people can argue that, you know,
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: you didn't have much options after outside of Berdolla to
• 1:06:27
  Speaker 4: do stuff like that. Find shure, That's what happens when
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 4: you don't call Varati. That's what happens when Georgina starting
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 4: to show his age. And that's what happens when Tonale
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 4: himself is not available because of the reasons we said before,
• 1:06:38
  Speaker 4: so Berilla is.
• 1:06:39
  Speaker 2: Not even didn't even get included. I don't know if
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: he has an injury.
• 1:06:42
  Speaker 3: Yeah, somebody responded to that. I think I made a
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 3: I think we made a I made a comment somewhere
• 1:06:49
  Speaker 3: on some one post telling he's having nasal surgery or
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 3: something like that. On those lines. I heard. I heard
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 3: something on those lines, and I said he looked perfect
• 1:06:58
  Speaker 3: against at the Ante. He scored that girl a goal
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: on the weekend, so they're all kinds. He looked perfect,
• 1:07:03
  Speaker 3: but apparently it was a scheduled thing, supposed to have
• 1:07:06
  Speaker 3: some for surgery in TARISTI corrected me. If correct us,
• 1:07:09
  Speaker 3: if we're wrong, let us know if that's accurate. But
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: but yeah, I think that's just to add on to
• 1:07:16
  Speaker 3: that point. I'll get my thoughts after. But yeah, that
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 3: was what I had heard.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 1: Just to say, just to say, I've had I've had
• 1:07:23
  Speaker 1: nasal surgery two years ago. You could have one done without,
• 1:07:27
  Speaker 1: you know, you could be good on one day. Then
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 1: if it's scheduled surgery, you could go in and you know,
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 1: fix something on the inside.
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 2: Maybe his noses crooked.
• 1:07:34
  Speaker 1: Maybe me and him we're not you know, we're not
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 1: too much un the like you know names Nick, we
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 1: have some crooked noses. Maybe you have to get me
• 1:07:42
  Speaker 1: and you had to fix the crooked nose to help
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 1: him breathe a bit better, and then he's gonna come
• 1:07:45
  Speaker 1: back with even better Stamena.
• 1:07:46
  Speaker 4: It's like the line from Austin Powers and Goals. Remember
• 1:07:50
  Speaker 4: when I said, we're not so different to you and
• 1:07:52
  Speaker 4: I And it's like a quick flashback of like for
• 1:07:54
  Speaker 4: the first movie, or I think it was the first movie,
• 1:07:56
  Speaker 4: We're not so different to you and I, And then
• 1:07:58
  Speaker 4: doctor was like see I did say that. Uh so
• 1:08:01
  Speaker 4: that's Nick and Bala Right now he's he left the
• 1:08:05
  Speaker 4: Killini Giorgio is no longer his twin. Now he's accepting.
• 1:08:10
  Speaker 2: Oh my god, call him up, give him some recovery advice.
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 3: Put a put a bandage on your head. Maybe you'll
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 3: be back.
• 1:08:17
  Speaker 4: A my god, this guy just dumped a uve player,
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 4: sorry Fiantina, prospect for for for an in for an interplayer.
• 1:08:26
  Speaker 4: Mind you, we're gonna say prospects. It was Ali that
• 1:08:29
  Speaker 4: he keeps there.
• 1:08:30
  Speaker 3: You go, he's from there.
• 1:08:32
  Speaker 4: Yeah, I'm just joking around, but uh but yeah, I know,
• 1:08:35
  Speaker 4: but I'm not being there does but I mean, like
• 1:08:38
  Speaker 4: it doesn't make sense to schedule for like when you
• 1:08:40
  Speaker 4: have a week and a half week break, you know,
• 1:08:42
  Speaker 4: like to get this type of surgery done. Like it's
• 1:08:45
  Speaker 4: like like it's less plain time, less risk of you can.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 4: You can sacrifice Nationally Nations League games, you can.
• 1:08:51
  Speaker 3: Because he wants to be he wants to be ready
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 3: for for the season. Yeah, it makes sense and it's
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 3: not it's just funny how things played out, but it
• 1:09:00
  Speaker 3: makes total sense. Like you're gonna want to play for
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 3: your club.
• 1:09:04
  Speaker 1: And that's kind of the role of these games. They were,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 1: you know, meant to replace friendlies, but with a more
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 1: competitive edge. So you know, you still need time to experiment,
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 1: do some experimentation. In the words of Johnny it's a word, yes.
• 1:09:23
  Speaker 3: Look it up, but yeah, just to even bounce off
• 1:09:29
  Speaker 3: to what you guys are saying. I mean, you know
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 3: many people are going off on on on on the
• 1:09:33
  Speaker 3: call up with like listen, I get it, I know
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 3: our boy nick Yanni, where's or Sellini. I don't know
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: where's half the guys. It seems like there's there's definitely
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: guys missing. But again that's another thing to look at,
• 1:09:45
  Speaker 3: like there's there's obviously injury. Still there's guys that are
• 1:09:48
  Speaker 3: not in the lineup due to, you know, other other reasons.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: So you know, again people are gonna show on Skamaka,
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: I get it. You know he's out with an injury.
• 1:09:59
  Speaker 3: He's not one of the call ops. If he would
• 1:10:01
  Speaker 3: be not injured, he would be called up. In my opinion,
• 1:10:04
  Speaker 3: you'd be there. You know, a guy like Calvini as well,
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 3: he's he's he's coming back from injury himself. Another young
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 3: defender I think probably could have maybe been in there
• 1:10:14
  Speaker 3: maybe instead of a guy like Okoley, who this is
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 3: his first UH. I think I think it's first UH
• 1:10:22
  Speaker 3: call up for for the men's team, so uh or yeah,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 3: the first team. So I think we have to take
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 3: the call ups with the green of salt, do I
• 1:10:30
  Speaker 3: like all of them? Know? Is it worrisome that we
• 1:10:34
  Speaker 3: only have four listed attackers UH called up? Absolutely, that's
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 3: a big worry because what's been a problem with is
• 1:10:43
  Speaker 3: Azuri for the longest time is something you know, putting
• 1:10:45
  Speaker 3: the ball in the back of the ned. So and
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 3: we're really reliant on one player, as are nine in
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 3: the te he'll probably play the both games. I know.
• 1:10:58
  Speaker 3: I know spletty in his in his UH, in his
• 1:11:01
  Speaker 3: press conferences coming back to COVID channel UH, and I
• 1:11:04
  Speaker 3: saw some of his quotes that he said. He pretty
• 1:11:08
  Speaker 3: much said what we're saying tonight. You know, it's a
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 3: this is we have to put Euro twenty twenty four
• 1:11:13
  Speaker 3: behind us. We have to turn that page. We learned
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 3: that lesson, We swallowed that pill, and now is a
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 3: time to you know, progress, to advance, to develop to uh,
• 1:11:24
  Speaker 3: you know, get some of these players in and build
• 1:11:26
  Speaker 3: and build that core. Again, he also said that it's
• 1:11:30
  Speaker 3: most likely he'll be sticking with either a three five
• 1:11:33
  Speaker 3: two or three four two one. So that's kind of
• 1:11:36
  Speaker 3: already starting to be established. And again we've said it
• 1:11:40
  Speaker 3: timeless times on this show, especially you know, previewing the
• 1:11:44
  Speaker 3: Euros over the summer. You know, we do have the
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 3: I think we have the players to play that formation
• 1:11:52
  Speaker 3: or those formations. So does that help us? I think? So?
• 1:11:56
  Speaker 3: Are the the team young, like Nick said, absolutely, you know,
• 1:12:01
  Speaker 3: not including some of these older this older guard I
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 3: think about down time. We've been only screaming about it
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 3: for quite some time now, so I think that's good.
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 3: I think Spilette I just want I think he needs.
• 1:12:15
  Speaker 3: He wants to, uh, you know, to have a queen
• 1:12:17
  Speaker 3: slate and kind of go forward in a positive manner.
• 1:12:20
  Speaker 3: And again, I know all the co ops, like we said,
• 1:12:23
  Speaker 3: aren't aren't to write home about. But there are some
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 3: pieces in there that are, you know, I think merit based,
• 1:12:31
  Speaker 3: and some of them that are part of the squads
• 1:12:34
  Speaker 3: in recent call ups, and that's fine, but just to
• 1:12:39
  Speaker 3: integrate different pieces and using this nation's league as as
• 1:12:44
  Speaker 3: a tool for that, because I think at the end
• 1:12:46
  Speaker 3: of the day, guys, all we want is it a
• 1:12:48
  Speaker 3: way to get back to where we want them, where
• 1:12:50
  Speaker 3: they deserve to be, using the Nations League as as
• 1:12:54
  Speaker 3: as a as a tool to to incorporate other other players,
• 1:13:00
  Speaker 3: bringing some new fresh faces, making that group into a core.
• 1:13:04
  Speaker 3: I think it's I think it's huge and it's a
• 1:13:07
  Speaker 3: good tool because at the end of the day, also
• 1:13:10
  Speaker 3: it's that World Cup qualification that matters the most in
• 1:13:14
  Speaker 3: this upcoming uh, in this upcoming years, you know, in
• 1:13:20
  Speaker 3: in in the running up until you know, World Cup
• 1:13:24
  Speaker 3: twenty twenty six, uh, you know, in North America. So
• 1:13:29
  Speaker 3: that's the biggest thing I think Spoletti has now these
• 1:13:33
  Speaker 3: these international breaks in these upcoming months to to get
• 1:13:36
  Speaker 3: this group on the same page. I'm excited to see
• 1:13:39
  Speaker 3: what is to change and what is to come. But
• 1:13:44
  Speaker 3: at the same time, again we have to be healthy.
• 1:13:46
  Speaker 3: We're not completely healthy. We're just bringing back a gallexandtonality
• 1:13:50
  Speaker 3: like you said, Johnny, and I'm with you on that.
• 1:13:51
  Speaker 3: I want him to do well. You know, former Means
• 1:13:56
  Speaker 3: Milan player. He's finally back with the Newcastle. He's got
• 1:14:02
  Speaker 3: called up right away from Spalletti. So it's good to
• 1:14:05
  Speaker 3: see that he's he wants to give these guys their
• 1:14:07
  Speaker 3: chance to get involved from the get go. I guy
• 1:14:11
  Speaker 3: Brescianini had a great start to the season obviously with
• 1:14:14
  Speaker 3: Atalanta it's his first call up. That's another interesting one,
• 1:14:17
  Speaker 3: like this is a guy that was nowhere near the
• 1:14:19
  Speaker 3: radar of the Azuri and now he's getting potentially an
• 1:14:22
  Speaker 3: opportunity in these upcoming uh these upcoming international breaks. Okoli
• 1:14:27
  Speaker 3: is another one. I think for the for defenders, I
• 1:14:29
  Speaker 3: think we're pretty good. If I would say, like, you know,
• 1:14:35
  Speaker 3: if it be a bus, if it's just Bastoni Bonjordo,
• 1:14:40
  Speaker 3: uh uh. You know, Gatti is the one that is
• 1:14:46
  Speaker 3: a bit weird for me nick season more on a
• 1:14:49
  Speaker 3: weekly basis. I know he's been wearing the captain's arm
• 1:14:51
  Speaker 3: bound even for for you of it, I started the
• 1:14:54
  Speaker 3: season off, well, I don't know why he's wearing the
• 1:14:56
  Speaker 3: Coptins armband. But that's another discussion. I guess I don't
• 1:14:59
  Speaker 3: know why is he one of the captains arm back
• 1:15:01
  Speaker 3: Daniel isn't playing. That's that's strictly, that's strictly the reason. Yeah,
• 1:15:06
  Speaker 3: and it feels like I thought there was somebody more
• 1:15:08
  Speaker 3: senior than him. To give it to but I guess
• 1:15:10
  Speaker 3: I guess really not, I guess it's really that changed.
• 1:15:12
  Speaker 1: So, I mean, Locatelli's been with you a longer, but
• 1:15:17
  Speaker 1: you know, it's not all about longevity, that's what.
• 1:15:23
  Speaker 2: Already three seasons.
• 1:15:25
  Speaker 1: I'm pretty now it's three seasons because he scored goals
• 1:15:28
  Speaker 1: when you they were playing in the Europa League and
• 1:15:30
  Speaker 1: back in the twenty three year.
• 1:15:34
  Speaker 2: This is year yeah, third season, Yeah, this is year three.
• 1:15:37
  Speaker 3: Okay, Well, anyways, listen, he's he's had some bad moments,
• 1:15:41
  Speaker 3: he's had some good moments. He's included into the into
• 1:15:45
  Speaker 3: the mix, so that you know, that's good. But I
• 1:15:47
  Speaker 3: think for defense, like we're pretty set during the pipes,
• 1:15:50
  Speaker 3: we already know it's the midfield trio if if it's
• 1:15:56
  Speaker 3: going to be that, and then the attackers obviously even
• 1:15:59
  Speaker 3: another attacker. You know, we had the whole discussion with Kieza.
• 1:16:03
  Speaker 3: But there's another plat that's not included into the into
• 1:16:05
  Speaker 3: the mix.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 4: His move to.
• 1:16:06
  Speaker 3: Liverpool, not being not training you know, regularly with a squad,
• 1:16:11
  Speaker 3: and his whole up and down with Vin not going
• 1:16:14
  Speaker 3: to to Liverpool is another paraty that's not there. So
• 1:16:18
  Speaker 3: there's guys missing for sure on this call up list.
• 1:16:23
  Speaker 3: So again I would, you know, suggest for people to
• 1:16:26
  Speaker 3: take everything with a grain of salt for this, but
• 1:16:28
  Speaker 3: I just want to see, like going off to what
• 1:16:31
  Speaker 3: Mix said, just positive results, positive improvement, anything better than
• 1:16:36
  Speaker 3: what we saw at Euro twenty twenty four is a must. Again,
• 1:16:40
  Speaker 3: Well we see that so soon, I don't think so.
• 1:16:44
  Speaker 3: I think it will take some time, and that's fine
• 1:16:46
  Speaker 3: by me. But as long as we continue to see progress,
• 1:16:50
  Speaker 3: for me, that's what's most important. So we'll see. Spleti
• 1:16:54
  Speaker 3: looks eager like he wants to turn the page. So
• 1:16:57
  Speaker 3: I hope, I hope that does happen, and you know,
• 1:17:00
  Speaker 3: we get Personally, I don't think we get a result
• 1:17:03
  Speaker 3: against France. I think that I think we split this
• 1:17:05
  Speaker 3: in this international big. I think it's one one we
• 1:17:07
  Speaker 3: we lose and then we pick up the win against
• 1:17:11
  Speaker 3: Israel Monday night or Monday afternoon for us. But I
• 1:17:17
  Speaker 3: think that's how it goes. I don't know, Nick, if
• 1:17:18
  Speaker 3: you see it any other way.
• 1:17:19
  Speaker 2: But I'm hoping for drawing to win, drawn win.
• 1:17:24
  Speaker 3: I don't know, we'll see. I think, yeah, I think
• 1:17:26
  Speaker 3: it's really we'll see. But the draw I think I
• 1:17:30
  Speaker 3: think we'll I don't think we'll pick up the win again.
• 1:17:32
  Speaker 3: I think it's just France is just Francis France. Unfortunately,
• 1:17:35
  Speaker 3: they're just too powerful currently. As much as we have
• 1:17:38
  Speaker 3: that rivalry with them, we always want to win. I
• 1:17:40
  Speaker 3: think there are just a bit of a step up.
• 1:17:41
  Speaker 3: They're a step above for sure, big step above, and
• 1:17:46
  Speaker 3: they have to round currently.
• 1:17:49
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you got the call. I'm sure
• 1:17:51
  Speaker 2: he did.
• 1:17:52
  Speaker 3: I think potentially. But Jenny, what do you what do
• 1:17:54
  Speaker 3: you think in the results? I say loss and win?
• 1:17:59
  Speaker 3: Nick said draw and win?
• 1:18:01
  Speaker 4: What do you think?
• 1:18:09
  Speaker 3: Because I don't think I have a heart I have.
• 1:18:12
  Speaker 3: I hope we tie or maybe moroccos you pull out
• 1:18:14
  Speaker 3: to win against France. But I personally don't see it yet.
• 1:18:19
  Speaker 4: I see.
• 1:18:23
  Speaker 2: I draw, see lots and draw.
• 1:18:26
  Speaker 3: Hey, we forgot everything.
• 1:18:29
  Speaker 4: I'll be honest here. I I don't have much confidence
• 1:18:31
  Speaker 4: in the team right now, especially with the Spelett he
• 1:18:33
  Speaker 4: still trying to figure out tactics and stuff. So and
• 1:18:36
  Speaker 4: especially that it is Nation's League. The players do want
• 1:18:39
  Speaker 4: to play competitively, they do want to push themselves, but
• 1:18:42
  Speaker 4: they're not gonna be a type of players to go
• 1:18:44
  Speaker 4: home crying if they lose. You know, so I don't
• 1:18:47
  Speaker 4: think the full heart's in it. I think the the
• 1:18:50
  Speaker 4: France game is definitely going to be played with a
• 1:18:51
  Speaker 4: lot of emotion and a lot of spirit and a
• 1:18:53
  Speaker 4: lot of you know, tenacity, you know. But uh, it's
• 1:18:58
  Speaker 4: it's not gonna be good enough versus France in terms
• 1:19:01
  Speaker 4: of and then it's against Israel' probably be like like
• 1:19:05
  Speaker 4: I saidly like one one draw, Like we'll score like
• 1:19:07
  Speaker 4: a nice goal early on, then Israel's gonna park the
• 1:19:10
  Speaker 4: bus and then there's gonna be a random ass deflection
• 1:19:13
  Speaker 4: at Israel scores on the counter. It's it's just I
• 1:19:17
  Speaker 4: feel like it's gonna be one of the Macedonia ask, yeah,
• 1:19:19
  Speaker 4: except this time we don't lose. It's actually a draw.
• 1:19:23
  Speaker 1: But listen to France's attack for the who they called
• 1:19:27
  Speaker 1: up Griesman, de bell Cola, Jane Toron Barcola And.
• 1:19:31
  Speaker 4: How do you expect us to beat that?
• 1:19:33
  Speaker 3: How do you what do you want to do? Where
• 1:19:36
  Speaker 3: do you want to do?
• 1:19:37
  Speaker 4: It's supposed to be a friendly Where are my friends
• 1:19:40
  Speaker 4: line up?
• 1:19:42
  Speaker 2: Shams? A friend, serhaps a friend of the show.
• 1:19:48
  Speaker 1: It's gonna be like that meme, that meme of the
• 1:19:51
  Speaker 1: I think it's from Brazil, the defender bowing in front
• 1:19:55
  Speaker 1: of an attacker with the ball and he has his
• 1:19:57
  Speaker 1: hands up, playing like please have mercy.
• 1:20:00
  Speaker 3: You might have to do the same and switch that
• 1:20:01
  Speaker 3: around with with I don't know, Fiori or something or
• 1:20:04
  Speaker 3: Jordan or something.
• 1:20:07
