• 0:35
  It's like the city. We're back this week the couch. You guys,
• 0:40
  Adriano and Jinny Nicholas, Uh, took a week off last week. There
• 0:44
  was thank you any Thanksgiving on Monday. You know, one of us was
• 0:48
  sick, we were one of us was busy. Just one of those weeks
• 0:51
  that didn't work out, thankfully. There wasn't much too much talk about last
• 0:54
  week, just the adzuti uh that. We'll talk about that later. But
• 1:00
  today I'm actually nine ended today, but big game of the weekend. We'll
• 1:04
  get right into it the first. How you guys doing good? Okay,
• 1:11
  how about you? Happy to be back guys, Yeah, I'm good,
• 1:15
  as you've found. I'm good because I want nothing. Win yesterday against Milan.
• 1:19
  Well, we'll get off right with that. Well, we'll go through
• 1:23
  all the city at games. Obviously a Monopoly winning this weekend, Roman winning
• 1:26
  this weekend, so Johnny's in a good mood. Uh, you may winning
• 1:30
  this weekend. I'm in a good mood. And then Melan not winning this
• 1:33
  weekend. Sodan is not a good mood. Maybe we'll have to dedicate an
• 1:36
  entire episode so he could run. But uh, before you take the four
• 1:40
  age, I'm just gonna say, you know, I feel like you take
• 1:45
  take it away. Yeah, I was just gonna say I feel like Melan
• 1:49
  juve. Especially the games in Melan there's never anything exciting, like like,
• 1:53
  can you name me one memorable moment besides maybe Kesa's performance in January twenty twenty
• 1:59
  one. In this rivalry, when with games played at Sansiero, like,
• 2:04
  it's always pretty stale and boring. Yeah, we have to wait for a
• 2:10
  look at Teley goal every six seven years, yeah, exactly for that to
• 2:15
  happen. But yeah, no, it's exactly, it's been. It's been
• 2:19
  a it's a big it's a big game always on the calendar. But yeah,
• 2:22
  I don't know, it just hasn't especially this weekend, but in recent
• 2:25
  times that hasn't really delivered. Like you said, yeah, and and like
• 2:31
  you said, look at teleygal uh once every seven years exactly on the same
• 2:38
  date, October twenty second. But before that goal, there was the red
• 2:42
  card by choo Uh taking down Keen as he was about to go in alone.
• 2:50
  I think most Melane fans agree, stupid stupid penalty, stupid fil to
• 2:54
  take, stupid red obviously completely deserve last man back and one thing I'll say
• 2:59
  is that, you know, it didn't look like Kean had a clear break.
• 3:02
  He looked like he had kind of a heavy touch before he was taken
• 3:06
  down. So you know, I understand. You know, sometimes the defender
• 3:08
  will say, oh, but he'd be in alone against the goal. He
• 3:12
  I basically saved the goal scoring opportunity. I don't know how much of a
• 3:15
  goal scoring opportunity opportunity there was here, but you know, obviously you will
• 3:20
  take it play ten men for for what was it fifty minutes? I forgot
• 3:23
  one minute exactly that happened was in the first half, but there was nothing
• 3:29
  convincing about the game. Obviously we had the local Telly goal that was deflected
• 3:36
  off who did a fight? Was it Tomory or was Adlie? I already
• 3:44
  forget no, no, it wasn't cool. It came in an after Yeah,
• 3:47
  I think it was. Was it Tomorrow's good question? I think yeah,
• 3:52
  either Tomorrow Kierra, I don't remember. And you know what, one
• 3:57
  thing I'll say, also, great goal, great goaltending battle between Chesney.
• 4:01
  He had a nice stop in the first half on Shiu and then you know
• 4:06
  you it was denied. It was Velvage, right, on the doorstep.
• 4:11
  He was denied obviously, you know local Telly's goals deflected. Not much,
• 4:16
  not much you could do. And why why am I drawing a blank on
• 4:19
  mean line's goalie? Not sports yellow? Why was it drinking a blank?
• 4:25
  It's monday, you know, it's Monday night. You know, finished eight
• 4:28
  hours of working. My brain went frozen for a second. I was gonna
• 4:32
  say sport yellow for some reason. Mirante had a nice save on Valdovich.
• 4:36
  It was right on the doorsteps. Should have put away, you should have
• 4:40
  had some air under it. But it was good save regardless. You know,
• 4:44
  he did a good job coming in as a third goalkeeper after uh you
• 4:47
  know it was jeez, help me out here. I'm I'm lost to night
• 4:54
  as what's going on after the red card? Yeah? After after the record?
• 5:01
  By what? Bro? We have a podcast? Let's first, Why
• 5:08
  am I drawing a blank again? I was gonna say me on I was
• 5:15
  like, no, it's not me. It's like but a French version.
• 5:18
  Oh guys, I'm I'm not My brain is not on tonight. It's fried.
• 5:24
  Apparently, it's this is what happens when City doesn't doesn't play for two
• 5:28
  weeks. I forget everybody's name, whoever's listening. You could laugh at me
• 5:30
  all you want. I am drawing the world's biggest blanks. Rip the guys,
• 5:35
  please, I'm like, I'm like Val drawing blanks. Oh but seriously,
• 5:42
  hey, you said it not us. No, but he's right,
• 5:44
  he's not wrong. But but seriously, at least I remember his name.
• 5:47
  Uh no, but seriously, Like it was an okay game, obviously,
• 5:51
  I'm happy one happy with three points. You know, you raised two points
• 5:55
  behind intern now one point behind me. Line, they do play inter in
• 5:58
  about a month's time after the next international break. But you know they should
• 6:04
  have done better with ten men. Uh like, it easily could have finished
• 6:08
  one one. Yeah. No, guys, this was a terrible game.
• 6:13
  I mean on all fronts. From performances on the pitch. I mean,
• 6:18
  maybe maybe I take some of that back. Some some you know, some
• 6:21
  players did have like okay games, but it was it was pretty a stale
• 6:27
  game if you ask me. Obviously, you know, even from from the
• 6:30
  play on the field, to coaching, to officiating to just everything, like,
• 6:35
  I mean, it just wasn't what you expect from a Mila Yuve in
• 6:41
  my in my in my opinion. Did any one of these teams really deserve
• 6:46
  the win? No, I don't think so. I don't think you've did
• 6:49
  anything more to really deserve the win. I don't think me one did anything
• 6:54
  over the top to really deserve the win. In my eyes, this was
• 6:57
  this was probably a zero zero one one type of game. You know,
• 7:00
  the red card. You know, unfortunately it is what it is. It's
• 7:04
  you know, you want to say, it's not a right card. It
• 7:06
  is a red card. Again, it's it's over with it. It happened.
• 7:11
  You know, child is still still obviously young in his career, and
• 7:15
  you know he's not to not to make excuses about it, but you know
• 7:19
  he has to be smarter than that, especially in big games against you know,
• 7:24
  big opponents, and you know in the league where there's you know,
• 7:28
  a title race at hand. And again I don't want to hear like we
• 7:31
  continue to say, you know you is behind the title race. They are
• 7:34
  for sure in there. You know, they're like next set, two points
• 7:39
  behind dett one point now behind Milan, so they're in the thick of things
• 7:43
  as well. But for me one's sake, yeah, just overall terrible.
• 7:46
  I think probably if anything, I mean we had to depend on Mirant and
• 7:53
  again not many fans were probably optimistic going into the match. Obviously the whole
• 7:59
  sh that again with the red card by by Magna again suspended for this game,
• 8:03
  then Sportello goes down with injury. We have to, you know,
• 8:05
  depend on forty year old media Ante. And again, you know what the
• 8:09
  goal wasn't his fault, the function, You know, it's a it's a
• 8:13
  BS goal to really let up. But again it got deflected, and you
• 8:18
  know, there's not really much more you could have done. I don't think
• 8:20
  any goalkeeper in the world is really saving that. And I think maybe I
• 8:22
  don't even think it would have been a goal if if it didn't get the
• 8:26
  fucked that. I don't know. We'll never know. But so I can't
• 8:28
  really fault me Ante all too much. But again, have to be better
• 8:31
  in the in the attacking third on on means apart, but playing playing behind
• 8:37
  the eight ball and you know, ten men for more than one and a
• 8:41
  half the game, it was never going to be easy. But again I
• 8:46
  think they had opportunities to capitalize before that point. They had a bit of
• 8:52
  a bit of play even after, but once that red card happened. I
• 8:56
  think the whole games could kind of flip, you know, taking out policy
• 9:00
  each putting on Kolulu. Uh. These these defensive but at the same time
• 9:05
  trying to stabilize the game, type of substitutions by POI. So again,
• 9:09
  just an unfortunate result, especially at home, because I don't think you've really
• 9:13
  deserved it, and I don't think Melon deserved like I said earlier, So
• 9:16
  this should have been, in my eyes, a draw. If it was
• 9:20
  gonna be zero zero, one one, I don't know. You can say
• 9:22
  whatever you want, but yeah, just overall, for two top teams in
• 9:28
  this league, it's it's just again just a sour taste in in in fans'
• 9:33
  mouth. But again, leave it to all agree to pull out the Corto
• 9:35
  Muzo won. Those those just just results, those one nil results. He's
• 9:41
  the master of that. And even though he was going bananas on the sidelines
• 9:45
  like typical Mad Max fashion, taking off the jacket, kicking the sideboards,
• 9:50
  throwing his jacket, I mean it's Mad Max in full effect. But yeah,
• 9:56
  it's just for me on again, put this behind us. It's a
• 10:00
  short turnaround, especially now a Champions League coming up this week and not pay
• 10:03
  on the weekend, so it's not gonna get any easier. So I mean,
• 10:07
  you know, it's a shame that we had to go into this match
• 10:09
  not fully fully fit. You always want to see these matchups, I think
• 10:13
  in my eyes, and I think you took to any of the any of
• 10:16
  the fans, you always want to see best on best because you kind of
• 10:18
  really get a grasp of what you know, these two teams are really capable
• 10:24
  of, like not having you know, a ky as a Galwich from the
• 10:26
  start. For you, it would have been nice to see that, you
• 10:31
  know, a tail in the game manya in the game, you know,
• 10:33
  so you know, I loft his cheek in the midfield as well. So
• 10:39
  I mean it's just one of these things that you know, it was unfortunate,
• 10:43
  uh you know, in terms of events for for this matchup. But
• 10:46
  again, put it behind, move on. It's there's really not much more
• 10:52
  to to say. But you know, this team has to improve and inters
• 10:56
  looking as all good all season. They've had like a very very few hiccups.
• 11:01
  So if me and are serious, if in the if you very serious,
• 11:03
  If not, we are serious, these other teams are serious to really
• 11:07
  make a push for the school ato they have to they have to minimize their
• 11:11
  mistakes, really manage the expectations, and I really take one game at a
• 11:16
  time and you know, really really powerful because it's not gonna get an easier
• 11:18
  guys, we all know that. So yeah, I don't know. I
• 11:24
  don't know if I couldn't even like I don't even on both sides, I
• 11:26
  couldn't even name you like command of the Match. I don't know about you,
• 11:28
  Nick, but like anybody like besides like obviously Locat how he's gonna get
• 11:31
  it because of the goal, but like I just saw like no standout on
• 11:37
  on both sides, I don't know about if you feel differently, I'd have
• 11:41
  to say, honestly, Chesney, Chesney, Yeah, even Yeah, it
• 11:50
  was it was huge because that that that's a goal, like if that if
• 11:54
  he doesn't save that or if he is not you know, the soft hands
• 11:58
  in in that moment, you know, if he does, if he just
• 12:01
  parison just to the side, I mean we have we have a guy like
• 12:05
  poolsit right there that could have probably put that in. So yeah, that
• 12:07
  that's he came out big in that moment for sure. Yeah, exactly.
• 12:13
  Yeah, I'd say I'd sell Yousney. That's right. I want to ask
• 12:20
  more more for the two you. So moving on to the other Mealan team
• 12:22
  Inter one three nothing this weekend against Torino go some touram Martinez and Hakan on
• 12:28
  a penalty in the ninety fifth minute. So there's seven to one and one
• 12:31
  twenty two points on top of the city. I mean, are they the
• 12:35
  best team in Italy right now? You know we're not just looking at the
• 12:37
  numbers, but just in terms of just talent. Are they the best team?
• 12:45
  Jenny, you haven't spoken today, so i'll at you. You go
• 12:48
  first. Yeah, well I got so lost in your conversation. So which
• 12:52
  team is the best team? Inarly? Is interesting? Inswer I would say,
• 12:58
  yes, very we're talking objectively. Uh, they're the team that has
• 13:03
  the most consistent well besides Poli and like Alegai has had his false pield,
• 13:07
  he's had his faults and Zaggie's still been getting results, whether it's he's getting
• 13:09
  the trophy or two every season. Uh. With Inter, despite getting players
• 13:16
  and losing players, he still manages to give them competitive results. Yeah,
• 13:20
  last year did anyone goudet but they had a good run. This year they've
• 13:22
  been dominant. You know. Uh, it's uh last year they they made
• 13:28
  it to the Champions League final. It's not something that to scoff at.
• 13:33
  No, it's uh. I would say that in terms like on paper and
• 13:37
  on field play. I'm definitely like, I mean more towards Inter as the
• 13:45
  best team in Italy. Uh. I find you've still has holes in the
• 13:48
  midfield, especially now with the situations going on with them Napoli. He's got
• 13:52
  terrible issues in the back line. Not and this goes without like, this
• 13:58
  goes without saying the inconsistencies with coaching, Uh, Milan. Milan is the
• 14:05
  other team, but it's it just seems like the offensive output sometimes lives and
• 14:11
  dies with le This is just an outsider's perspective. You can correct me.
• 14:15
  Listeners can say, like Johnny, I disagree. I just feel like as
• 14:18
  if they still need to solve that striker issue, they finally solve the right
• 14:20
  wing issue. Uh, oh my god, no postage is the right ring.
• 14:26
  Who do they get this year for for striker? I'm drawing blanks now,
• 14:33
  Oh no, I know obviously who was uh former interplayer now like in
• 14:41
  the Sun office for Melan Uh not not no way around the other way around.
• 14:50
  Sorry for Georgia. Sorry, mixed up, mixed up, I'm even
• 14:58
  wrong on that. Sorry guys, it's I'm wait for you. Yeah,
• 15:01
  and then uh, way up, guys. This is uh, this is
• 15:07
  this is what happens to the Coulture guys. That's now he's playing keeper.
• 15:15
  What's going on in the city. I MA, it's but like you know,
• 15:20
  like like until you have that strike, they get a consistent, like
• 15:22
  solid striker, you know, like Melon's offenses. Like now that they actually
• 15:26
  have another weapon on the right side, but still, you know, like
• 15:30
  you're tried and upfront still is still missing the middle piece. So like in
• 15:33
  terms of like overall completeness, it's inter Their back line is set, they
• 15:37
  have they have they have have pending, they have an amazing midfield. Offensively,
• 15:45
  they're firing on all cylinders. It's it's it's hard to find a hole
• 15:50
  on the team for Intern And that's why I would say that talent wise,
• 15:52
  Intermeline is the best team in the city talent wise. Now, obviously,
• 15:56
  performances can be different. Sometimes sometimes they have bad years or they have bad
• 16:00
  stretches and that ruins their run. But I think inter and I think if
• 16:07
  they uh I think they earned the most points in the past. Like I
• 16:12
  saw a random stat I'm not I'm not bothering to dig it, and I'm
• 16:15
  very very much para paraphrasing it. But it was like by like maybe by
• 16:19
  ten points, they they're the team has earned the most points out of like
• 16:22
  the Big six in the past like three four years or something like that helps
• 16:26
  because they want to Squedeto in the past three four years. It makes sense.
• 16:30
  But it's like it's like as if they went to Scudetto and then they're
• 16:33
  just dropping down to fifth or sixth, you know, like they're constantly in
• 16:36
  that fight for the champions. Yeah, you know. So it's that's why,
• 16:41
  like consistently they're always and they're always finishing the top two. So that's
• 16:45
  why it's it's hard to say that it's not intern and this is not This
• 16:49
  is not like saying like like all due respect to Ubde to milan Tonopoly,
• 16:55
  to to to the top, to the regular top four is like all due
• 16:59
  respect a lot is always the underdog top four. But it's like they have
• 17:03
  each each of each of these teams have their own threats and weapons and serious
• 17:07
  talents. But if we're looking at the overall picture, it's in there.
• 17:11
  It's got to be intered. Yeah. The only thing, I mean,
• 17:15
  the only thing I would say, I mean, they definitely have they definitely
• 17:18
  have stayed competitive by Jenny said, and I'm pretty sure you know our biases
• 17:22
  aside, we can pretty much all agree on that. I'm not like,
• 17:29
  I mean, for me, if I have to pick a one week point,
• 17:32
  and again, I'm not a big fan of Cimoni and Zagie as a
• 17:34
  coach, obviously it seems to be working, so you can't really say too
• 17:38
  much. I'm just not really much of a fan of of of him and
• 17:42
  his play style. But again it's it's working for them, so you have
• 17:45
  to you have to, you know, give credit, what credit to do?
• 17:48
  I think the only thing that you maybe can say in terms of where
• 17:52
  they may be lack, I mean for me, for me, it's their
• 17:56
  defense a bit like besides but like center back, like for me at Charity,
• 18:00
  I know you're gonna say, yeah, it's a word he pocketed Aland
• 18:04
  and then the Champions League final. For me, I don't know if I
• 18:07
  still think they can improve there. D'armillan is not an inter player in my
• 18:11
  eyes. I love Bostonian obviously you love Bastonian and de Marco. Those are
• 18:17
  you know, two Italian national team players. They've done well. They deserve
• 18:21
  the praise. For me, they're they're they're they're strong candidates, you know
• 18:26
  in terms of you know, the top defenders in in our league. But
• 18:30
  you know, Dumfries for me not consistent. They bring on a guy like
• 18:33
  the Rye who's been there for like seventy five years. Like it's I don't
• 18:37
  know, it's just for me if I have to pick up one area that
• 18:41
  to criticize, and this is not my there's not me being a mean and
• 18:44
  fan just so will have to pick into whatever. No, that's the way
• 18:47
  I see is if you want to pinpoint anywhere that could be lacking and maybe
• 18:52
  could be improved, I think would be there in my eyes. Inter Fans
• 18:56
  can probably say otherwise. I don't know because they watch them week in week
• 18:59
  out. But if I have to say I would, I would go that
• 19:02
  route because it's clear their midfield has done well, especially with the additions that
• 19:06
  they have added, you know, guy like Frantz obviously doing really well.
• 19:10
  Uh in the last couple of uh, you know, these last couple of
• 19:14
  months. Obviously, you know what Warrantine is a top forward in this league.
• 19:21
  Adding to Ram has obviously been a positive impact for them. Yeah,
• 19:25
  man, And you know, they've stayed competitive, like we said, and
• 19:27
  they've lost players, they've gained players, they've lost coach, they've gained the
• 19:32
  coach, and they've kind of still been teetering on on this this top team,
• 19:37
  best team in Italy type of type of label. So you know,
• 19:42
  if you want to admit it or not, that that's fine. But yeah,
• 19:47
  I would say there are good teams in Italy, and I think I'm
• 19:52
  sound by saying this. I do think Mile is a good team, and
• 19:53
  I do think you know, not we has good pieces. Obviously, you
• 19:57
  know you've had some good pieces, and you know the Roman teams do as
• 20:03
  well. But as a collective, I think it's hard to say that they're
• 20:07
  they're not the best team, just because of where they've been and where they
• 20:08
  are and what they've added and and how those additions have impacted them. Even
• 20:15
  though I don't think, like I said, they're a perfect squad as a
• 20:19
  whole, there are still some pieces in my eyes, you can fix,
• 20:22
  but those those fixes that they need to make compared to a fixes that you
• 20:29
  know, maybe a me one has to make or has to make, or
• 20:32
  a knop we have to make like for that matter, like the level of
• 20:36
  of fixing is is is different in my opinion, So that's how I see
• 20:41
  it, Nick, You are they the best thing in your eyes? Yeah,
• 20:45
  I think I think their advantage is depth. I think Melon has good
• 20:49
  depth too, but I think Inter is just better. You know, Yeah,
• 20:53
  they especially at the way back position. I know you mentioned Darmian.
• 20:57
  Yeah, sure, he's not best quality right now, but for a team
• 21:00
  like that, you always need those those rotation players, those squad players.
• 21:04
  You think back to Youve's dominance. You think of a player like Stephen lenk
• 21:08
  Steiner. He's similar quality he was. He wasn't starting every game, but
• 21:14
  he brought that depth, especially when you're playing twice a week. He brought
• 21:18
  brought that reliability. And that's the same thing that type of player that that
• 21:25
  Darmian brings, you know, even just bringing in this season Turam. Okay,
• 21:29
  yeah, they already lost to Kaku, but already seems like Turam and
• 21:32
  lar Tyro have chemistry and Turam is a different player than Lukaku is more dynamic,
• 21:38
  and they they just got better. You know, I know they didn't
• 21:42
  win the school at last year, but they got better than what they were.
• 21:45
  I forget if they finished the second or third last year, but they're
• 21:48
  they're already better. Uh and yeah, you know, at the beginning of
• 21:53
  the season, you could say more better, more better. Brouh. I
• 22:00
  know, at the beginning of the season you could have said, Ohnopoly,
• 22:03
  they won the score that the automatically the best teams start well, they've they've
• 22:07
  dropped off. They've dropped off a lot, so you know, they're they're
• 22:10
  far from that title. And you know, speaking of Monopoly, they did
• 22:12
  they did beat Verona three to one. Uh. Rough starts of this season,
• 22:17
  it seems like Johnny, I don't know if you agree with me,
• 22:18
  it seems like they're starting to get their footing. I know this is just
• 22:22
  first came back from the international break. There was a lot of talk in
• 22:26
  the international break about Garcia's future. But uh uh Cavarra two goals, Poltano
• 22:32
  goal. Uh yeah, yeah, the bow and arrow ovar hood, Cavaro
• 22:37
  hood, Yeah, there you gome this guy. They've won three of the
• 22:48
  past four in city. I now I mean, it's a good win,
• 22:52
  right, Johnny, You're not going to get too excited about it though,
• 22:56
  I mean obviously not temp I'm tempering my my husiasm because you know, it's
• 23:02
  still like if we're looking at the season as a whole, it's a nice
• 23:04
  little spike and productivity, but it's overall, like you know, there's it's
• 23:10
  been an up and up and down, right, you know, finally they
• 23:11
  got back into the top four picture. And I think you Indeed, Lodentis
• 23:15
  set himself like the goal of this season going in was to hit top four.
• 23:18
  It wasn't to repeat him himself. He knew that the team wasn't capable
• 23:21
  of repeating. It's hard to its, it's hard to repeat, and he
• 23:23
  was a lot of key pieces and a lot of key positions. But his
• 23:27
  goal was to aim for top four. And he still feels confident that Ridy
• 23:30
  Garcia can get the team in top four. So, I mean, right
• 23:33
  now they're in that spot, but can they stay there? That's the number
• 23:37
  one question. You know. It's like you're doing you're you're you're having these
• 23:42
  weird results against teams that weren't just set they so you know, like it's
• 23:45
  it's it's like, those are the games that you should be winning if you
• 23:49
  want to stay in the top four. Obviously obviously you know, like the
• 23:52
  smaller teams you should still beat them, still get results from them and stuff.
• 23:55
  But like those are the real tests if you're if you're if you want
• 23:57
  to hold your spot, if you want to hold the sport. So,
• 24:00
  uh, I'm waiting for those games. Uh. They failed against Lotsio,
• 24:04
  they failed against Videntina, and it's and it sucks because like you know,
• 24:08
  like that's only two out of the remaining six sisters. You know, like
• 24:14
  yeah, it's uh so I'm not saying anything until until after this weekend and
• 24:21
  then but like I said, like right now, you're ready fail the test
• 24:22
  against lots So you fail the test against Fidentina, you know, like I
• 24:29
  mean more tests can they fail? You think, what's the discussed because like
• 24:34
  we discussed the last time, like it's it's not gonna you can fail him.
• 24:41
  Yeah, it's it's he's he's staintily in the year. There's no way
• 24:48
  del Entis is going to fire him, uh early in the season unless some
• 24:53
  kind of drastic like like catastrophe. It's like we discussed this, like to
• 25:02
  the episodes of the episode before that, Ridy Garcia is here to stay.
• 25:06
  He's he's going to write them out till the end of the season. It
• 25:11
  was the best that could do in such short notice. And I think Dean
• 25:14
  Nz is probably taking the time now to look at possible candidates for next year
• 25:18
  and see what's available for him, what's not available, like discussions, Like
• 25:25
  like some interviews were released saying that he was looking for coaches who know a
• 25:27
  manager four to three three, But I'm like, yeah, but there's times
• 25:30
  where it's like Napoli was playing a four to two three one, you know,
• 25:36
  like it like he like try to find a coach maybe that can try
• 25:40
  out a different position. One thing I didn't notice from this week's game that
• 25:45
  uh who said it? And I'm echoing their sentiments, I just because I
• 25:48
  don't want to take full credit for this thought because I noticed it after they
• 25:52
  said it. I can't remember who, but somebody said, like what else
• 25:53
  he mean missing this game because of his injury from international play. You know,
• 26:00
  you saw that there was a fluidity in the offense between rasp and and
• 26:04
  UH and Cavada, you know, so like it was there they were like,
• 26:07
  everyone's like, why isn't Simone playing, you know, because then they
• 26:10
  would have just pretty much, you know, like teams would have focused.
• 26:12
  The team would have focused, like the offense towards towards Simeone, and that's
• 26:17
  how they would have covered it. But you know, like Napoli, you
• 26:19
  know, it's like they didn't have the fixed threat. You know, it
• 26:23
  wasn't like a man that was like usually Fritter Simone, you know, like
• 26:27
  RASPADOI could have been a threat. Paul Tanno got a goal, you know,
• 26:30
  not to play and right or yeah I got a goal. I think
• 26:34
  two assists, Yeah exactly, you know, I think you got a goal
• 26:37
  in two assists like he he had, like he had a fantastic game.
• 26:42
  So I think because Verona's like, okay, the threats can come from everywhere,
• 26:48
  like that's why it just just worked out for Anopoly. Whereas what Osiman's
• 26:52
  there, you know, Kavadat Skellia is forced to stay on the left because
• 26:56
  is handling that middle, but because Rasperdoti is able to rotate or can go
• 27:00
  in through that middle and try out a different thing. Because remember we were
• 27:03
  discussing how like Caveta Skellia is not getting any activations from the left side when
• 27:07
  especially like this year, like this game mattered to who we played, but
• 27:11
  usually when it is Olivia, there's nobody helping him out. Cayuste finally gets
• 27:14
  to start and he actually has a decent game. Lo and behold. Jenny
• 27:17
  has been saying this whole time, played cat you staying, look what happens.
• 27:21
  You know. I think he's a good mix of that midfield, and
• 27:22
  I think he helps out a lot. I would say he's informed, he's
• 27:32
  getting informed. I wouldn't say he's back, he's getting informed. I'm still
• 27:36
  very critical on him. I'm like, Okay, now, how is he
• 27:37
  gonna adapt to the other teams? You know, Like it's easy to get
• 27:41
  these goals and assists versus the smaller teams. You know, it's like now
• 27:44
  when you can play against the big team, must say he has to score
• 27:45
  against every single big team, you know, Like, you're not gonna score
• 27:49
  against all the uves, all the UVI games you're gonna play. You're not
• 27:52
  gonna score in all the inter games you're you're gonna play. You're not gonna
• 27:55
  score all the Melon games and all the like you're not gonna score in all
• 27:56
  of them. But if you play against these big teams, like one out
• 28:00
  of every two or three games you get a goal or a goal of assist
• 28:03
  or two assists or whatever, at least some kind of productivity, then I'll
• 28:07
  be happy with that. He has to, like, like I said,
• 28:08
  he has to adapt the players that are adapting to him. He has to
• 28:12
  understand he has to know how to beat those double coverages. Now that's the
• 28:15
  challenge. When you have that much talent, you're capable of beating those those
• 28:19
  double or triple coverages. You just need to discover how you're going to do
• 28:22
  it. You think Leel's not getting double or triple coverage, and he's and
• 28:25
  he's still beating it, you know what I'm saying. Like you think guys
• 28:27
  like Kieza is not getting triple teamed and doesn't know how to beat it too.
• 28:30
  Like it's like these guys that have those talents, like strikers always gonna
• 28:34
  be double covered. But like that's not mentioning them. But like when you
• 28:37
  have guys that are talented along the wings, you're gonna have to be talented
• 28:42
  in order to find new ways to or new tricks up your sleeve. That
• 28:47
  was one of the issues with Zaniola. When they played him on the wings,
• 28:48
  Daniolo had no way of of of figuring out how to adapt from the
• 28:52
  wing. You would always get inside the box and lose the ball. You
• 28:55
  get some tunnel vision and narrow minded and just nothing. You got into the
• 28:59
  high danger areas when then I was it did nothing else with it, you
• 29:00
  know, So I'm getting off on a big tagent but no fire. Yeah,
• 29:07
  it's Abata back, he's getting informed. I wouldn't say he's back getting
• 29:11
  he's getting in formed. I think. I think just like the bar of
• 29:12
  last year was like now it's it was set so high right like now,
• 29:15
  the expectation is like he has to be the next coming of you know,
• 29:19
  Christ and and everything him and mostly Man obviously el Man I scored. Now,
• 29:25
  it's unfortunate that you guys lose him for a handful of weeks now,
• 29:27
  I think I've seen I don't know if it was about four weeks, maybe
• 29:32
  about over a month, I don't know. Ye's unfortunate just slightly over a
• 29:36
  month. Yeah, but I think for for Cavara's sake and especially that he
• 29:40
  didn't have the start of the season, that everybody expected him to have.
• 29:42
  That bar was set so high for us year's performance. Uh in the city
• 29:47
  that you know now that he now that he has to like kind of like
• 29:51
  re kind of like gain that that bar. It's like and he's not there
• 29:56
  yet. It's like, okay, well, like what's going on with Cavara?
• 29:59
  But no, man, it's it's it's cool to see him back on
• 30:02
  onto the score sheet. Uh. He's had you know, a couple of
• 30:06
  goals, a couple of assists in the past couple of games. So it's
• 30:07
  it's it's positive signs I think for him. But I think again I would
• 30:11
  agree, and I think fans, especially not with fans, definitely should you
• 30:17
  know, I mean, you know, manage your expectations with Cavar like don't
• 30:22
  go, oh yeah he's bad broy blah blah blah. He's gonna be back
• 30:26
  to you know, his form from last year, like let him, let
• 30:29
  let him get there. Don't let's not like rush rush the u the Uh.
• 30:33
  You know, the expectation and that he's that he's back in full form.
• 30:37
  Is he is he wor does he look good? Does he work a
• 30:38
  bit more revived? I do think so does that celebration have to do anything
• 30:42
  with it. I don't know, man, but like whatever it is,
• 30:45
  like he seems juiced a bit, but like hopefully it sticks. We'll we'll
• 30:48
  have to wait and see though. Yeah. Agreed. By the way,
• 30:53
  Snapoli plays Union Berlin tomorrow and Champions League and then next weekend, uh not
• 31:00
  be Melan, so Melan and gets uh sorry this weekend? Yeah this weekend?
• 31:10
  Is it this weekend Sunday? No, yeah, that's what I'm That's

• 31:22
  Do you guys hear me? Well? Yeah, yeah, I don't

• 31:30
  an audio. No, but yeah, sorry, it's this upcoming weekend,
• 31:34
  next match day, That's what I meant. Yeah, not bely Melan on

• 31:42
  for for Melan because they get UV and then PSG and then Napoly, which
• 31:48
  is crazy crazy week for me on PSG again. Yeah, oh it's picked
• 31:52
  back. I'm pretty sure it's back to back. Yeah, back on the
• 31:57
  flip as well. If I'm a mistaken check it out, Johnny. I
• 32:01
  don't know if you can check that out, but like I'm pretty sure that's
• 32:04
  the flip of me. Please Yeah, November seventh, Yeah, November seven,
• 32:08
  got it? Yeah so doing the room and back of the san Ziero.
• 32:15
  Yeah so. And then yeah, like this upcoming match day, there
• 32:17
  are there are gonna be some good there are gonna be some good games.
• 32:22
  Not believe me. Line into Roma Lazo Fiorentina. H yeah, and you
• 32:28
  know Roma won nothing win El sra are we? I think it was what
• 32:31
  eighty fifth minute goal was the leader ninetieth n I got subed on and scored
• 32:38
  uh against Monza this past weekend ten men, ten men Uh Monza. They
• 32:45
  got was Don Brosi who got card in the forty forty first forty fifth forty
• 32:50
  first in it. So at least youve wasn't the only team to struggle with
• 32:52
  the man advantage for the second half. Uh, Jenny. You know,
• 32:58
  I we all saw the image of him him crying afterwards because of the goal.
• 33:01
  What was the reason behind that? Just pure emotion? Was it?
• 33:06
  Had it had it been a while since he last scored the betting, the
• 33:07
  betting stuff. He was a cute. He was a cute No, I
• 33:14
  swear really he was being accused about being part of the whole betting stuff.
• 33:17
  And sorry, I don't want I don't want to step on Chinese here,
• 33:20
  but that's right. Yeah, no, uh, he was uh yeah,
• 33:28
  that's what I had read. Local Telly was crying too. Yeah, but
• 33:32
  he scores once like two years. Yeah, that's what I had read.
• 33:39
  You know, he was he was being included into the into the into the
• 33:45
  list of players that the stupid Corona guy was was was uh, you know,
• 33:50
  trying to trying to put put under with this whole betting scandal stuff.
• 33:54
  And he really didn't take I guess lightly to it from from my understanding.
• 33:59
  And he he really obviously wasn't associated with that according to him, and and
• 34:04
  and he really took it a personal and uh, I think it was just
• 34:07
  a liberating thing for him. That's what I had read. And obviously you
• 34:10
  saw it on the pitch, you know, he scores and very very emotional
• 34:15
  after that. You know, he doesn't, I guess, you know doesn't.
• 34:17
  It's like anything you get accused of something that you didn't do, and
• 34:20
  you know, it's it's it's it's a shame because your your you know,
• 34:22
  your name is being being tarnished by by a stupid idiot like Corona that's going
• 34:30
  around just trying to you know, really put down these players for for no
• 34:35
  apparent reasons, just to fill his pockets. So again, a bit of
• 34:37
  a mess on that front, but good for him, I think, finally
• 34:39
  get onto the score shet for a guy like that is huge. And yeah,
• 34:45
  Johnny Alps can say more, but I think I think that's what I
• 34:49
  had read. That was the whole reasoning by behind the tiers, and it
• 34:52
  was it was good to see all all the teammates, really his teammates really
• 34:54
  getting you know, around him and not the really side step you know,
• 35:00
  the roma talk right now, but even even the fans of Newcastle for Toni's
• 35:05
  sake, uh you know, cheering him on as well. I know if
• 35:08
  Joy was at the stadium as well, you know, for for for you
• 35:13
  his match against Meland. So just these these squads been uh being close to
• 35:16
  their players in this interesting and weird time. I think it's huge. So
• 35:22
  yeah, but Johnny, I don't know if I mean the match again,
• 35:25
  like Nick said, up a Man for most of the game, didn't take
• 35:29
  advantage until late. It's it was like de was just like on fire the
• 35:34
  whole time. He was in the right spot at the right time. Very
• 35:37
  underrated goalie making that he had that he needed to. I mean, like
• 35:43
  he hasn't scored since like in City, uh or like for for Roma essentially
• 35:49
  since like like since the end of last season, so it was a bit
• 35:52
  of a goal job for him too. I think it's probably one of the
• 35:53
  reasons why he was super happy, and he was probably that but yeah,
• 35:58
  it's I think you said it perfectly. Know, like Man's been under some
• 36:01
  fire with he finally got called up back to Italy too. Yeah, yeah,
• 36:08
  you know, like he's he's been under fire, especially with what's been
• 36:10
  going on lately. Poor guy just basically can't he can't, like like he's
• 36:20
  trying his best to like be like he like prior to Insinging, you know,
• 36:23
  he was going to be like the next left wing for Italy and then
• 36:27
  even that kind of dropped off for him, you know, and he's dropped
• 36:30
  on, dropped off on the pecking order, you know, and you know
• 36:32
  he he's only thirty years old. It's it's tough because it's like, you
• 36:38
  know, like he had his trajectory flourished. He flourished very young though,
• 36:43
  right, like, yeah, he was true, he was truck. He
• 36:45
  was his trajectory was so great and yeah he was a Genua too and he
• 36:52
  went to Melon, right, I think after after you have Melon. I
• 36:54
  think it was only once he came back to Lily that he kind of revived
• 36:58
  himself, if you want to say that. Aroma, yeah, like like
• 37:02
  yeah, like his first like his first season at Oma, he scored uh
• 37:07
  think about seven goals for the team. Uh, and I think I think
• 37:10
  it's first great. I think it's first game back to Roma. I think
• 37:13
  he scored from yeah, that crazy goal against against bed ownA with the back
• 37:17
  heel in the air. There was he had moments. He had definitely moments
• 37:21
  when he came back to the way with Roma. But like when he went
• 37:23
  to France, when he went to China, all that ship, like for
• 37:27
  me, that's when he really went. I don't know to be honest,
• 37:30
  but anyways, yeah, but the China was just alone. But yeah,
• 37:34
  m hmm. But but still you know, like he's he's somebody that and
• 37:40
  he works hard and I think you said it perfectly, ag where it's like
• 37:45
  he was just under like so much fire and you know, all this allegations
• 37:51
  and stuff and then finally getting that goal like we're liberating. Yeah, it
• 37:54
  is fun fact actually looking at this right now, he's got fifty nine goals
• 38:00
  for Roma. Hold on, I'm sorry, he's got hold on No,
• 38:04
  where was this? Sorry? And City I he's got sixty seven goals and
• 38:08
  I think it says here that thirty four of them are game winning goals.
• 38:14
  That's mister, mister, that's incredible, mister. Yeah, yeah, I
• 38:19
  remember the goal what was it the goal last year when he when he scored
• 38:22
  at the end and what you know, did the run down the side?
• 38:24
  Yeah, it was another that was another league goal too. That was another
• 38:29
  league goal too. Yeah. So he's at his moments. But Roma,
• 38:31
  I don't know in this game like up of mind for that long, Like
• 38:35
  did you like was it? Uh? I mean obviously you don't take the
• 38:37
  three points like that's that's a given. Bus. Sorry, it's thirty four
• 38:40
  game winning goals in his career. My bad, I miss read that stat.
• 38:44
  Sorry, okay, still but still, like you know, still it's
• 38:46
  huge. Yeah, it's just he's scored. But that's it's it's overall.
• 38:51
  It's just it's it's that, you know, especially at Roma, you know,
• 38:53
  sometimes he doesn't get the starts, you know, like he's not he
• 38:57
  Yeah, sometimes he has to fight for his role there too. So it's
• 39:00
  it's it's nice for him to like get one. You know, he's he's
• 39:04
  he's a good guy. He deserves it, like he's one of those guys
• 39:06
  that's a feel good like moment when he scores the when he scores the goal.
• 39:08
  So but yeah, I am over overall on the match, Like did
• 39:14
  you like you'll take the three points? But like was that like that looked
• 39:19
  like it was like more difficult than it had to be. Yeah, it
• 39:21
  was. Well, Okay, first of all, let's never underestimate Manza.
• 39:23
  We saw what they did last year. They're a team that's that's capable of
• 39:29
  still getting into the top half of the table. Uh. That sound as
• 39:32
  if they don't have the money to do that they could then they're one of
• 39:36
  those teams that, Uh it's just like if they actually had, if they
• 39:40
  were a historic team, people would go crazy to play there. But because
• 39:44
  they're not a historic team, obviously, that's what the issue is but also
• 39:51
  the Papa scandal right now going on, God, another one, another one.
• 39:59
  We're talking about mons, We're gonna talk about it like I'm sorry,
• 40:00
  but like, how do you like if it's if it was known, why
• 40:04
  did anybody say shit? Like why did they? Why did why did they
• 40:07
  wait? Now? Why did they wait until now? If it was known
• 40:09
  even from twenty twenty two that it was like before the world I think it
• 40:13
  was like even like durn before during the World Cup at that time, or
• 40:15
  like that winter or whatever, like the winter. Yeah, but right now
• 40:17
  they're investigating to see if it was just paps. Apparently, if multiple players
• 40:22
  are found with the substance, whether they were starters or not, the team
• 40:25
  could be disqualified from their result. I feel, I don't know. It
• 40:30
  sounds like a bit crazy to me, Like well what the children style all?
• 40:34
  Fuck? Like the fuck? Remember the strong Atalanta years. Everyone was
• 40:37
  ever everyone was like meming saying like, oh you know they have some magic
• 40:43
  water, yeah, the magic juice in in Bergamo. Like I don't know,
• 40:47
  now, this might be this might be a legit depending when I know
• 40:51
  he's been gone for the from the team for a while, but uh,
• 40:53
  I don't know you think you think Atalanta, you think steroids, you think
• 40:58
  out Alanta. I don't know. I'm not input kidding anything here, guys.
• 41:01
  It was something that he don't assume me please at legend. Yeah,
• 41:07
  but I heard it was some sort of uh it was some sort of medicine
• 41:13
  for like kids or something for his kid or something that he he also told
• 41:15
  because he wasn't feeling well or whatever. But like again you know, like
• 41:21
  no, no, but you're laughing. But that's right, I heard.
• 41:23
  I don't know, know, sometimes these thinks because they contained trace amounts of
• 41:27
  some kind of substances, that there's that that in one way or another.
• 41:30
  It can be performance and hand seen. That's the thing, pretty single thing
• 41:35
  that's under the umbrella of like what you can do. I think they should,
• 41:37
  Like it's hard, really hard an athlete. They need to know what's
• 41:43
  banned and what goes in their body for sure. They know they should they
• 41:47
  Yeah, I'm pretty sure. I think a list of like substances that are
• 41:50
  allowed. Another remember way back when when the Habs had Josie Theodore have that
• 41:53
  incident with steroids, and it was just because he was taking stuff for his
• 41:58
  hair growth. He was literally taking medication to strengthen his hair. But like
• 42:04
  I remember this when I was younger, it was it was to strengthen his
• 42:06
  hair, but because the medicine he was taking contained chased amounts of some kind
• 42:12
  of chemical that was considered performance enhancing, it was considered a steroid even though
• 42:15
  it's literally just for it was just for hair growth. How much were they
• 42:20
  really know? They don't It's hard, They're not there. Okay, what's
• 42:22
  the ingredients on? Like bro, like it's I think it's way too much.
• 42:28
  But anyways, yeah, but yeah, still, but anyways, to
• 42:30
  point, it was three points that at the end of the day, you
• 42:34
  wanted to get those three points. You don't care how you get them.
• 42:37
  Was it hard to earn? Yes, because you can even see Mancheti celebration
• 42:39
  at the end when just locked. He just went down on the ground and
• 42:45
  then yeah, like on the ground too. He was like, yeah,
• 42:47
  they were knocking on that door for so long, you know, props that
• 42:52
  you could go. You know, he played very well. He had to
• 42:54
  do what he had to do. But like especially when the goal actually scored,
• 43:00
  like there was it was just so perfect and there was no stopping that,
• 43:01
  like it's it was just more like a side release release relief. Then
• 43:09
  you got La just being Lacca, the shots. I jinxed it. He's
• 43:15
  been on fire for Ova and then like now' he's being La. Now you
• 43:21
  you mushed him much? That's okay, he's all that game especially it's consistent
• 43:27
  for him. He's been. Yeah, he's been, he's been on good
• 43:29
  for him. He has an alarm, So he has an alarm. The
• 43:32
  alarms back two more games. I want to talk about our teams. I
• 43:37
  want to talk about before we could quickly produce some Champions League, especially Adrian.
• 43:43
  We want to talk about that in Neil line, that PSG game.
• 43:49
  But today the Tuscan derby a lot. I mean, no one wants to
• 43:52
  talk about Lot do nothing, do nothing. Uh, they're they're jumping up
• 44:00
  the ninth place, guys. Massive for Lazzo Roman by the way, with
• 44:02
  three points up to seventh place. So at least these two teams are teams
• 44:07
  there as well. Yeah, they were at fourteenth and fifteenth at one point.
• 44:09
  Atalanta did win too nothing against Genoa, so thenre in sixth place.
• 44:15
  But I want to talk about the team above that group right now, Fiorentina
• 44:20
  Tuscan Dirmy today, they had the opportunity to at least tell you ventison points
• 44:24
  and maintain a lead over Napoly and they lose to emply to the rivals emplely
• 44:31
  today to nothing. I don't know if you guys saw the highlight of the
• 44:37
  second goal. I forget who scored for for Emplee, but just terrible defending
• 44:39
  from Fiorentina scored the first goal. I forget the second goal. I mean
• 44:45
  I have a computer where where we could find any information on the internet in
• 44:52
  two seconds Ja Jazz Research Jasse the former Specsia. Man, is this Are
• 45:01
  they a bit of a faker team? Right right? Right now? A
• 45:05
  fifth? Do you guys legitimately think they could battle for top four? Or
• 45:09
  you know, is the fifth six to seventy eight spot perfect for Fiantina?
• 45:15
  I think I think top four is tough for sure. Do they have what
• 45:22
  it takes to be in the mix? I do? Yeah? Have they
• 45:27
  have they improved these past couple of seasons, Yes, But to like to
• 45:32
  say top four like as like a guarantee, like I'm saying on the episode
• 45:36
  tonight, they're getting like it's really hard to say that. I don't see
• 45:39
  that it's five six seven currently maybe more reasonable. Yeah, I can see
• 45:49
  that more even like eighth whatever they they florded around these positions in these past
• 45:53
  couple of seasons. So the top four, I just think there's just too
• 45:58
  money, too much competition at the top. And I don't think I want
• 46:02
  to stay. I want to stay shock truck us all and pull something like
• 46:06
  Atalanta esque maybe, But already I think we have a good understanding of who
• 46:13
  will be there at the end if they maintain the form that they should be
• 46:17
  maintaining. We speak about the inters of the world, the mean ones of
• 46:21
  the world, the uvs, thenopolis of the world. So just right there,
• 46:25
  you know, you have four teams that are tough, tough opponents.
• 46:31
  Guys are laughing about the Roman teams, but I still think they're they're on
• 46:35
  the rise, that they'll definitely be in that mix down down the stretch.
• 46:38
  In my eyes, at least, the Atalanta is the world. So we're
• 46:42
  already naming like five, six, seven, eight teams, Like where does
• 46:45
  Fidentina really swat in there? I think they have their moments that they're better
• 46:50
  than some of these teams that obviously have their moments where they're not as good
• 46:52
  as this teams. I think it's it really rides and dies on on Italiano
• 46:57
  and and his and his system and his setup of a players, because I
• 47:00
  do think they have quality on this on this team. They've had. They've
• 47:02
  added additions as well on this team that I think I've that have been important
• 47:08
  and I've liked as well. So yeah, the top four I think is
• 47:14
  currently a bit of a stretch. Can they get there eventually? Maybe,
• 47:17
  but I think in Europa League, you know that five to six would be
• 47:23
  would be a good goal for them, to be honest, Like, they've
• 47:27
  made it all the way to the conference league final last season, I had
• 47:31
  to go through the playoff, I think to get there if I'm not mistaken,
• 47:36
  you know, Johnny saw them obviously live in action as well. Uh,
• 47:42
  they're there. I don't think they're top four yet, but if they
• 47:46
  can hang for as long as they can hang, I think for me already,
• 47:50
  that's like that that's a plus in my eyes. I think they would
• 47:53
  have like it needs to be. It can't just be, you know,
• 47:57
  go from eighth, Okay, I we're gonna go to third. You know,
• 48:00
  Italiana is the bad. This team is great we're gonna we're gonna jump
• 48:02
  the third fourth. Like for me, I think that the grind and the
• 48:07
  climb has to be a bit more of a baby step type of thing.
• 48:09
  And I think they're on that track. If this, you know, obviously
• 48:12
  sticks and you know this, this cycle of of of Italiano, you know,
• 48:17
  sticks around, and you know, these players, uh continue because they've
• 48:22
  they've they've done well with with uh, you know, a revolving door of
• 48:24
  players as well. So and what I do like as well, besides of
• 48:30
  what's on the pitch, is you know, off the pitch, how much
• 48:31
  they're you know, the you know they're serious about this, uh you know
• 48:36
  this fan base, this this city and and this club, you know,
• 48:39
  is that they're really behind it. So it seems like not only what's going
• 48:44
  on on the pitch is going in the right direction, but off the pitch
• 48:46
  as well. We obviously saw the Viola Park ground opening. You know,
• 48:50
  Comiso seems like he's he's serious about, you know, really making this uh,
• 48:54
  this this project a serious one. And and you know, love them,
• 48:58
  love him or hate him, or love the club or hate the club.
• 49:00
  You know, it's an encouraging thing for this not only for the great
• 49:04
  city of Florence. But you know the their club and just our league in
• 49:07
  general, so it's it's it's positive signs. But like you said, top
• 49:13
  four I think is a bit tough to say right now. If Fantina hold
• 49:17
  on, I just want to add in quickly, If Fentina is going to
• 49:21
  fight for top four and make the spot, this is the season to do
• 49:24
  it. With the consistency shown by both Napoli and Roma and their season,
• 49:29
  this could be the season of Fidentina can capitalize on that and get into the
• 49:32
  top four spot. Fair if there's a season to get into the top four,
• 49:37
  it's this year for them. And if there's a moment to fight for
• 49:42
  the top four, it's now because their next couple of games Latio Juve Bologna,
• 49:49
  who's in ninth who I just want to talk about quickly too, Melan
• 49:54
  and then they play Southern Innuitana and then Roma. So it's a good,
• 49:59
  good stretch. That's a good stretch of game. Five of their next six
• 50:02
  games are against teams in the top ten right now, So if they're going
• 50:06
  to finish top four, they this is this is making to break it.
• 50:08
  If after that Roma game on December tenth, they're still in the fourth fifth
• 50:13
  position and they've picked up maybe I don't know, ten to twelve points,
• 50:17
  at least fifteen. They'll they'll be, they'll put themselves themselves in a good
• 50:22
  position, depending where, depending where. Not not believes at that point.
• 50:28
  But no, it's really tough stretch. Plus you mix it in Europa League.
• 50:32
  But if you look at the top ten, Jenny, the surprise team
• 50:37
  right there is is Bologna eighth place right now three five and one, fourteen
• 50:43
  points tight with Roma a point above Lazio and four points sorry, three points
• 50:50
  behind fourth place. Actually right now, I think most of us will agree.
• 50:54
  I think eighth place is like the goal probably for Bologna to finish in
• 51:00
  the top eight, you know, more than just top ten or left side
• 51:01
  of the table. Eighth place is the goal. But they're there. They're
• 51:05
  actually playing decent football, you know, two one win against Fiorentina. I
• 51:09
  don't know if you guys saw saw the decel Vestry goal header from outside the
• 51:14
  box, which wasn't crazy. It wasn't against Frozen, Sorry y Frozen,
• 51:22
  wrong wrong f team, Uh header outside the box? Never seen such a
• 51:28
  beautiful header from outside the box from such long range. I know it was
• 51:31
  on rebound and everything, but like they're a decent team. They've they've picked
• 51:37
  up points in their last five games, won two of their past three.
• 51:42
  You know, I'm not I don't I don't expect them to fight for European
• 51:45
  spot, but you know it, it goes to show, you know what,
• 51:51
  even from an ownership ownership standpoint, I think as being a Montreal I
• 51:55
  don't know if you guys follow any Montreal unpack journalists onto Twitter, but there's
• 52:00
  a lot of talk about Joyce Puto, his ownership of the same Montreal.
• 52:02
  They missed the playoffs again this year. They're not a good team. They
• 52:07
  they I mean, I don't know their financials, but it seems like they
• 52:10
  bleed money right now, uh, losing fan base interests. They changed the
• 52:15
  name, changed the logo, had to go back. This said that,
• 52:17
  but he's really put more time into Bologna. It seems like because he's took
• 52:22
  a step back from from CF Montreal and he's put more time into Bologna.
• 52:27
  And and you're starting to see that payoff because this was a team that was
• 52:30
  almost a battle in the relegation a few years ago and so it's good to
• 52:35
  see if if there's a team I want to see do well, is Bologna
• 52:37
  just because of their the fact that they are cousins with Montreal. But I
• 52:44
  don't know how long they could sustain this, Jenny, I don't know if
• 52:45
  you had a chance to see any of their highlights watching any of their games.
• 52:51
  But is this another of the teams that you think could kind of sneaking
• 52:53
  uh to this European battle as we head in but match A ten? Now,
• 52:59
  well, I mean I was gonna say more of the surprises Lentche being
• 53:00
  in the top ten, but yeah, Bologna, yeah there at number ten.
• 53:06
  Yeah, like, but Bologna being there is good. But if you
• 53:09
  look at the spread of the offense of the team's coming a lot from the
• 53:13
  midfield, it's it's not it's it's not a really sustainable system if uh,
• 53:20
  your midfields are the ones that are generating a lot of the offensive output.
• 53:22
  Uh, Like mot Jagamta probably has got something in his in his sleep,
• 53:27
  up his sleeves in terms of like planning and what not. And it's not
• 53:30
  so bad if you play a system where Majory you're playing majority of your midfielders
• 53:32
  and uh fuck, I wish I don't have the knowledge enough to know what
• 53:37
  their regular formation is. Let me just actually see Bologna. They play three
• 53:42
  too, curious myself. They play a three back. I'm pretty sure.
• 53:45
  Yeah, but I'm just saying if it's how much is in the mid Oh
• 53:50
  sorry, yeah, yeah, they play five in the minde because they play
• 53:52
  a four two three one, So they play five guys in the midfought they
• 53:54
  play three? Sorry, no, they played. They play from what i've
• 53:58
  senior as a four two three one. He always goes with four in the
• 54:00
  back. It's either a four three to three four two three one or or
• 54:04
  he played a only one game though a four four one three two, but
• 54:10
  he's supposed to be playing it. Most of his eight games has been four
• 54:14
  to two three one, so that makes sense. Makes sense that majority offense
• 54:17
  coming from the midfield, So it could work. It could help them get
• 54:22
  into that. They could probably sneak in that six place spot, but there's
• 54:25
  still a lot of talent. There's a lot more talented teams ahead of them.
• 54:29
  Norma is picking up the shot. I know they're being a consistent but
• 54:30
  the beg getting results lately to make any more positive results. They're trying to
• 54:34
  find their form. Atalanta is still an offensive jogger, not that you have
• 54:38
  to be careful for, not as much this year, but there's still a
• 54:42
  team that he can't keep an eye out. And then we said before if
• 54:45
  it didn'teen as one of those teams, if they want to sneak into fourth
• 54:46
  places, is their year to do it? So can they? Can they
• 54:52
  get into that sixth place spot? They can, But I don't know if
• 54:55
  what they're doing right now is sustainable. I don't know if they have the
• 54:58
  bench deep enough to keep on getting results to keep them in that fight.
• 55:04
  I mean, it's it's we all love Ursolini, you know, as we
• 55:07
  as we say in the chat, you know, it's it's it's uh,
• 55:12
  it's he's doing well for them, but he's a four goals I think this
• 55:14
  year for them. Yeah, so no, it's not more. Actually I
• 55:20
  think maybe even more. Let me take a look possibly, uh he got
• 55:24
  or Selinian four goals. So yeah, so it's it's feasible, but it's
• 55:32
  gonna be a very big uphill climb for them. I think this is probably
• 55:37
  the range that they're gonna get at. And to answer your point about Bologna,
• 55:40
  Nick, I think for Joey Suppootz, I think he sees more money
• 55:45
  right now with Bologna than he does for the Montreal Impact, which is weird
• 55:47
  to say because the stronger economies in Canada, but right now, the Montreal
• 55:52
  market, like it sucks because he's done it to himself. For the Montreal
• 55:57
  Impact market, it's it's it's not something that he's done, uh that it
• 56:01
  happened naturally or in a low period. They've been in a low period for
• 56:04
  last for a while. Yeah, they made the playoffs last year, but
• 56:07
  you know they they sold so much after that playoff. Team changed a lot.
• 56:10
  Yeah, team change changed. Yeah, it's the team's got it.
• 56:15
  So like you, like, you lose a lot of fan favorites, you
• 56:17
  lose a lot of like prospective players, like people. It's it's the same
• 56:22
  thing like the Expos were. Nobody's gonna want to go watch a farm team.
• 56:25
  People want to go watch a team that's gonna try to compete for a
• 56:29
  championship. Now, obviously, if the if the if the city knows as
• 56:32
  a whole, like so like okay, let's let's in North America. In
• 56:37
  North American sports, there's a because there's cap systems and because leagues have draft
• 56:44
  systems, there's never a team that has this whole like we're a farm system
• 56:50
  team. We're not a team that just develops players and then sells them.
• 56:52
  Back in the day before salary cap eras and sports, there were because there
• 56:58
  was cheap owners that would like developed players, sell them for a huge profit
• 57:01
  and then pocket the profit. That's what happened to the Expos. The Expos
• 57:07
  would develop all these fantastic players and then just sell them for profit. That's
• 57:10
  what That's why they started losing the tendance towards the later years because people were
• 57:14
  fed up. People were fed up of going to try to see a good
• 57:16
  team. They finally build a good team could push for a championship. Nah,
• 57:20
  never mind, let's just sell the players North America. That doesn't fly.
• 57:22
  That doesn't fly at all. Ever, because of the way the history
• 57:25
  of the teams are, the way that started, history of leagues aren't here.
• 57:29
  So Montreal's not stupid, like we're not going to be a farm team.
• 57:32
  We want to see a team in the MLS that's going to compete for
• 57:35
  a championship, especially that Toronto won an MLS Championship. I would say many
• 57:42
  years ago, but you know, like recent twenty seventeen, yeah, seventeen
• 57:47
  sixteen, some of them, it's still recent enough, you know. So
• 57:51
  they're like, Okay, Toronto could do it, why can't we? You
• 57:52
  know, Toronto's getting these big stars from city. Ah, you know last
• 57:57
  year obviously, I know they're going through the rough patch right now, like
• 58:00
  it's let's let's but at the time, there were massive signings, you know,
• 58:02
  everyone was talking about it. Why couldn't we do that again? You
• 58:06
  know? And the fans are not stupid, they're like, the does have
• 58:07
  to be Italian star. It's not it's not about to being an Italian starter
• 58:10
  ofp but like, why why aren't you trying to get these big names again?
• 58:14
  Like the team flourish when they got guys like Drogba, when they got
• 58:16
  guys like nest At Dvio and stuff like, it's he could keep on doing
• 58:21
  it again. But but now the fans are getting we could do a whole
• 58:24
  podcast. But that's the thing. That's why Montreal is regressing. And like
• 58:30
  I think he sees more opportunity with with Bologna because Bologna, like like in
• 58:35
  Europe because there's no cap system in any of their sports, because there's no
• 58:38
  capsism in any other sports. Like that's why for them, Like there's some
• 58:43
  teams like, Okay, we know that we're going to be developing players and
• 58:45
  then selling them, but we like to be competitive every once in a while.
• 58:49
  And right now, remember like Bologna fans a few years ago, we're
• 58:51
  getting mad at him because he never would make an appearance and never try to
• 58:53
  help out with at all. Now he's putting in a bit of an effort
• 58:57
  and it's kind of showing. So maybe if you say, if Montreal fens,
• 59:00
  you can do the same, yeah to get results. Yeah the guy,
• 59:05
  But yeah, that's I I think. I think at the end of
• 59:09
  the season, they still finished top ten, but I don't think they hit
• 59:12
  into that Europe spot. I think, I think, I think, I
• 59:15
  think for I think for Bologna it's it's it's it's tough, like they're like
• 59:21
  for me, like I said, like with Fidentina, with Bologna, there's
• 59:23
  too many, there's too many teams. I think eight nine and you know
• 59:28
  what, like eight is eighth is the dream for me anywhere, Like I'll
• 59:32
  continue to say this because I still think they need some they need some more
• 59:37
  work. But you know, you know, ten up I think is good
• 59:40
  for them, I really do. I I known't you know, like you
• 59:45
  said, you know eight is it is probably maybe a bigger goal to achieve.
• 59:50
  And I agree, Will they will they get there? Will they stay
• 59:52
  there? I don't know, but you know they have some pieces and I
• 59:55
  think Malta has really If there's if there's one thing I I do have to
• 1:00:00
  say about, I think I do think he he surprised me a bit more
• 1:00:05
  than he put in, more than I thought he would. I didn't like
• 1:00:08
  his his stint. That was it Genua? Was it that he had at
• 1:00:12
  Genoa? It was just such a was it general? I think it was
• 1:00:16
  right? Guys. Uh he was a Specia did after Yeah at the end
• 1:00:24
  last season? No, or it was already a Bologna last season. I
• 1:00:29
  think it was already a Bologna last season. I think it was the season
• 1:00:30
  before. Yeah, there's too much, too much, there's too much,
• 1:00:35
  coaches moved too much team, so yeah, exactly he Uh, whatever stint
• 1:00:39
  it was, I don't remember off my head. But what didn't really go
• 1:00:43
  well in my eyes now with his Bologna team. I think he has improved
• 1:00:47
  as a coach, still a young manager obviously, but has has definitely improved
• 1:00:52
  and he's definitely, you know, succeeded my expectations of what he could have
• 1:00:55
  produced. And listen, it works, it works good so far. Again,
• 1:01:00
  the sustainability of it is there is the real question. I think fans
• 1:01:06
  I would think would would be happy getting anywhere between that eight to ten spot.
• 1:01:10
  That I think they would be in my eyes, because for me,
• 1:01:15
  it's not they're not there yet in my in my opinion, like there's there's
• 1:01:19
  just too much competition. Yeah, there's just too there's too many competitions just
• 1:01:24
  from from five to eight there there there's there, there's too many teams.
• 1:01:29
  Like can they crack it? Maybe, but they have to they have to
• 1:01:32
  see, like like we said with Fildentina, we have to see who falls
• 1:01:37
  and who and who who goes up, who stays the same. So there's
• 1:01:40
  many invariables with a lot of factors that I think in in Boonia really being
• 1:01:44
  that that next team to to make those whose jumps forward. But are they
• 1:01:49
  on the right direction again like Fidentina, Yes, Uh, it's about obviously
• 1:01:53
  maintaining and and bringing in more pieces. You know, you mentioned the or
• 1:01:57
  Sulings of the world. You know, Zerki the the one of the forwards
• 1:02:00
  has has has had some moments this season. You know, they have other
• 1:02:04
  pieces as well. So it's yeah, just about you know, maintaining that
• 1:02:08
  and obviously pushing forward to the to the future. And listen, if supporters
• 1:02:13
  the one to to continue on like and and you know, make this team
• 1:02:17
  a competitive team that you know we would like. You know, it's it's
• 1:02:22
  it's it's all the better to uh to those fans and then and then to
• 1:02:25
  again to to our league too, to make it even more competitive than you
• 1:02:29
  know it already is. So. And uh, lastly, speaking about Europe
• 1:02:35
  this week Champions League, guys, I already mentioned UH Union Berlin Napoli and
• 1:02:39
  then UH Interplace Salzburg tomorrow twelve forty five on Wednesday and Latio fair Lord on
• 1:02:51
  Wednesday. Europa League we have roaming against Slavia Prague and Atalanta against yeah Storm
• 1:03:02
  grats. What's your knowledge on I wonder if there's any relation to Marco Stern
• 1:03:13
  Austin Ruins legend and then last Ruins legend and then what did I mention who
• 1:03:22
  Fiorentino plays. Were no, uh working for their name in the list?
• 1:03:29
  I do not Why do I not see their name in the list? It's
• 1:03:31
  okay, I do not know who Fiorentino plays. Conference in conference? Are
• 1:03:36
  they in Europe? You know they should be in Europe League, right conference?
• 1:03:45
  They weren't supposed to be in conference league or something like that. And
• 1:03:50
  then yeah, got there. No, no, no, they weren't supposed
• 1:03:53
  to be in conference. They weren't supposed to be in Europe at all.
• 1:03:59
  I don't thing, and then they got brought into conference like for you a
• 1:04:01
  spot they're playing? Cool? Cool, but I'm for sure butchering the name.
• 1:04:08
  But kol Kadi, I don't even know. Uh yeah, they don't
• 1:04:12
  even have a logo on Google this team. But any thoughts of any of
• 1:04:16
  these games? I know I probably have some thoughts on Melan PSG. Yeah,
• 1:04:23
  it's a big game, guy, It's it's no secret. It's a
• 1:04:25
  it's a big game. It's a it's a game there that that you know?
• 1:04:30
  I mean this This Champions LEAUE campaign for Meland has been so far a
• 1:04:32
  bit of uh doll if if that's the you know, uh A light way
• 1:04:39
  of putting it. I mean, I think this is scored. Look uh
• 1:04:45
  no, no they haven't uh social results. Yeah, so yeah, obviously
• 1:04:55
  a bit dull, but stille uh to say, to say the very least.
• 1:04:58
  And I think this which is unfort trip because I think this Championship Champions
• 1:05:01
  League group in terms of Milan's sake, could have been a lot different.
• 1:05:04
  It should have been a lot different because I especially in the dormant game they
• 1:05:09
  that game should have been have beened the way did the Newcastle game? Again,
• 1:05:15
  could it have went me One's way, could have went Newcastle's away?
• 1:05:17
  You could say both. I do think Melon should have been obviously the better
• 1:05:21
  team in that case, especially at home, but again didn't capitalize on those
• 1:05:27
  two games. Now you come on the onto the flip with with with PHG
• 1:05:31
  back to back in back to back Champions League games away and away, I
• 1:05:38
  believe on Wednesday, and then I think, uh yeah, on the flip
• 1:05:42
  it's it's at home zero. So these are these are these are massive games
• 1:05:46
  for for me on and the massive points to hopefully be had in some shape
• 1:05:50
  or form. But yeah, it's it's they've really fallen a bit behind the
• 1:05:56
  eight ball. I do think there is a capability of still making stuff happen
• 1:06:00
  in this group and and still trying to have a have a chance of getting
• 1:06:03
  out of it. But it's really in their hands, like they really have
• 1:06:06
  to to to be better inch and score, Like we haven't scored champions yet.
• 1:06:12
  So it's it that's obviously a big, a big issue. Johnny kind
• 1:06:15
  of alluded to it a bit earlier in terms of and I was saying it
• 1:06:19
  obviously in the in the the UV meal and uh or me juve preview there
• 1:06:25
  post game comments. You know that this this offense in the final third sometimes
• 1:06:31
  again going back to their old ways, not being able to be clinical enough.
• 1:06:36
  Have they scored goals this season? Yes? Have they had chances moments,
• 1:06:40
  yes, But you know when when it's those off games, we we
• 1:06:45
  we need a spark from somewhere and we haven't really gotten in. So I'm
• 1:06:49
  curious to see how they play out this game, how what POI, what
• 1:06:53
  POI does in this in this matchup. I think, uh, you know,
• 1:06:56
  obviously now being able to get back to to hopefully uh full roster,
• 1:07:00
  I think full starting eleven would be would be nice. Obviously Manuel getting back
• 1:07:06
  in there, Tale getting back in there. I haven't seen hundred percent on
• 1:07:11
  up and Chic. I'm thinking he's available, and I would hope that he's
• 1:07:14
  available at full full strength. But you know, even getting a guy like
• 1:07:19
  Cooonish back col back for the first time over the weekend. So yeah,
• 1:07:24
  like these these players are going to have, you know, a tall task
• 1:07:30
  because like Nick mentioned, obviously the schedule earlier, it's not going to get
• 1:07:32
  any easier already with the flip of the two PSHG games not be on the
• 1:07:36
  weekend, you know, the tough schedule coming up. So for me,
• 1:07:43
  it's really one game at a time. I'm hopeful that they can hopefully get
• 1:07:45
  a result in uh in France, and if, like I don't know,
• 1:07:53
  I don't see them beating them, I would be hopeful that they do.
• 1:07:57
  I don't see it right now. They haven't shown us fans enough in Champions
• 1:08:00
  League to say that, yeah, they're gonna go into France and at the
• 1:08:03
  park Will Brains and they're gonna get a fucking result. We haven't seen it,
• 1:08:06
  so we would have to remain hopeful for that. I would think,
• 1:08:13
  you know, Leo, I need to see, like if he wants to
• 1:08:15
  be that player to be. You know, obviously he's a he's a great
• 1:08:19
  talent, and he's he's i would say, the best left wing in Seria
• 1:08:24
  or one of if any if you want to go with that route. But
• 1:08:27
  if he wants to be that that guy for Milan and really take his game
• 1:08:30
  to another level, it's the Champions League Knights that he also has to you
• 1:08:32
  know, really flourish and it can't just be him like all our star players
• 1:08:36
  have to have to really come out in these in these games, because you
• 1:08:41
  know, on the other side, you know, you have a guy like
• 1:08:44
  pay you know, the best, if not one of the best players right
• 1:08:46
  now in the world. So it's it's not gonna be easy. I'm curious
• 1:08:49
  to see how they contain him. Obviously he's going against some of his his
• 1:08:55
  French his French teammates on on our sides, so it's gonna be interesting to
• 1:09:00
  see how I got like Kao plays and obviously knows him, you know,
• 1:09:05
  from from training and just being around the French camp, uh you know,
• 1:09:09
  these past couple of years. So yeah, I'm just I'm just very very
• 1:09:14
  curious to see. Obviously, not gonna give a prediction because I there's no
• 1:09:17
  prediction to give because I really don't know, but yeah, I think if
• 1:09:23
  we can, if we can maintain, if we can stifle a bit of
• 1:09:26
  their offense and and really beat out, you know, the midfield game,
• 1:09:30
  I think we can have our moments in this game. So it's it's gonna
• 1:09:34
  come down to that. I think our star players have to wake up and
• 1:09:40
  we and we see how I see how how it plays out. But I
• 1:09:43
  do think, you know, this team is obviously beatable and it's gonna be
• 1:09:48
  interesting to see. It's gonna be more interesting to see when Uma comes back
• 1:09:53
  to san Ziero against Milan, but even just playing against oh yeah, we
• 1:09:59
  already know gets anytime he steps back in Sanciro, gets boot, which again,
• 1:10:02
  unfortunately when it's for the Italian national team, when it's with Miwan,
• 1:10:06
  you know, there's there's a bit of a split opinion on that. But
• 1:10:12
  it's gonna be still interesting to see Milan go to go to go to the
• 1:10:15
  parko Prince and and and point don Ruma again. So yeah, we'll see
• 1:10:21
  uh even man, you know he was there at a time uh point against
• 1:10:28
  his former team Addle as well. So I'm curious to see how this all
• 1:10:31
  all pans out. But again, uh, you know Mian's you know Mioan
• 1:10:40
  knows in terms of like their French connection. There we know Dona Ruma.
• 1:10:45
  So again this this, this matchup is definitely an interesting one and and I
• 1:10:50
  think can get a result. I'm just not super confident on the three points,
• 1:10:56
  but hopefully a disappoint and then we we go onto the flip and see
• 1:11:00
  what happens. Uh at do you have anything to Jenny Milan psg any any
• 1:11:10
  of the European games? Oh, I just hope not. The fucking tomorrow
• 1:11:14
  have to win tomorrow. Yeah, tomorrow. Like they're playing against the fifteen
• 1:11:17
  place Union Berlin. You know they lost the last they lost their last five
• 1:11:20
  in a row. Like there's there's that. That's a game you should definitely
• 1:11:24
  win. Mentioned Bucci scores. Oh god, true, true, he's there.
• 1:11:28
  Fun help me. I think I'm gonna win my Union Berlin us tomorrow.
• 1:11:33
  Yeah. They but it's a game that they need to win. And
• 1:11:35
  if they is it in Germany or it's in it's in Naples. Oh I
• 1:11:40
  didn't check, Nick, No, it's in Germany. In Germany. Yeah,
• 1:11:46
  not's gonna invite all the Italians over. Sorryucci is gonna invite all the
• 1:11:50
  Italians over for dinner the night before. Yeah, sure, like like like
• 1:11:56
  the Italians have have a fruitful relationship with Bucci. We'll see about that.
• 1:12:03
  But no, but no, no floss players allowed in his house. The
• 1:12:12
  clock players are fifty to fifty allowed, and he's gonna go He's gonna go
• 1:12:19
  to dinner and uh and be like, oh, we're gonna split the bill
• 1:12:23
  fifty to fifty. But joking a side not that's a must win, Like
• 1:12:29
  there's they fit they right now? They say where second in the group?
• 1:12:31
  If I'm not mistaken, and they look like the loss to Reale was like
• 1:12:36
  a it was a good loss. It wasn't like like it was a loss
• 1:12:41
  of like you know what except want it, you know what I mean.
• 1:12:44
  Like it wasn't like a like I knew going into it. It's okay.
• 1:12:45
  Real is one of the hottest teams in Europe right now in terms of performance
• 1:12:48
  wise, you know, like it's a team that there's firing up cylinders.
• 1:12:53
  Dude, Bellingham is just fantastic. But they had a dog in the fight,
• 1:12:57
  so it was a winnable game at the end of the day. The
• 1:12:59
  talent on Madrid just surpassed the talent on Napolis field. But it's that was
• 1:13:04
  normal. But it felt like this game was a very winnable game, especial
• 1:13:08
  when they took the lead at the start. You know, it's so uh
• 1:13:15
  that's why I like in the in this game. Now, like against Union
• 1:13:18
  Berlin, you have to take. The next two games are against Union Berlin,
• 1:13:21
  Union Berlin, you need to need to win. Got six points?
• 1:13:25
  Uh, not needed? Yeah, needed, because I forget who else is
• 1:13:30
  in It's it's them Union Berlin Real and I forget the last team. And
• 1:13:34
  they won their first game against so at six now Pallion by a good three,
• 1:13:44
  and then Union Berlin at zero. Yeah, so already for not the
• 1:13:47
  next two it's it has to be six points in my eyes. Yeah,
• 1:13:53
  but uh, I think that will do it for us. Guys. I
• 1:13:55
  think there was a great episode, talk a lot about the City Champions League.
• 1:13:59
  If you're a couching fan, you're obviously gonna be watching European games next
• 1:14:04
  week. Uh. I'm really excited for the weekend coming up in the city
• 1:14:10
  with all the big games. I feel like it'll have a lot of standings
• 1:14:12
  implications, even though it's only uh, you know, uh eleven, match
• 1:14:17
  day tenkay, Yeah, match ay ten. Uh. You know it's these
• 1:14:21
  type of games like even you look at not believe me a line. You
• 1:14:27
  know, if if me Alan wants to continue fighting for the school that's or
• 1:14:30
  even if Napoli wants to get back in the school that race. These are
• 1:14:33
  three games you need three points you want to win. It's a six point
• 1:14:36
  swing. You know you're gonna get three points for yourself. You're gonna take
• 1:14:40
  away three points from your direct rival in the standing. So, uh,
• 1:14:45
  this is this is a great weekend. Uh. If you're a couching fan,
• 1:14:46
