• 0:25
  Speaker 2: I'm doing good. I'm doing good here you guys doing.
• 0:28
  Speaker 3: This is a long time coming, bad Joe.
• 0:30
  Speaker 4: It seems like it's been in the making for a
• 0:32
  Speaker 4: while and we've connected a bit more frequently over the
• 0:36
  Speaker 4: last little bit now and honestly, Bro, thank you for
• 0:39
  Speaker 4: coming on, taking the time, and we're we're pretty pumped
• 0:42
  Speaker 4: for what's to come, and not only in this episode,

  Speaker 4: but you know, the Adzui and all that. But yeah, man,
• 0:47
  Speaker 4: just happy to have you on.
• 0:48
  Speaker 2: Man, thank you, thank you.
• 0:51
  Speaker 1: I'm Nicholas with the Channel No Johnny this week on
• 0:53
  Speaker 1: the Couch Guys. You could follow us on all your
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: favorite podcasting platforms and social media at the Coucho guys, Biado.
• 1:00
  Speaker 1: So we have a little tradition on this show that
• 1:03
  Speaker 1: the first time we have someone on, we want to
• 1:04
  Speaker 1: know how they got into Calco because at the end
• 1:07
  Speaker 1: of the day, we're all here because we're passionate about Kulcho.
• 1:09
  Speaker 1: We were talking beforehand. How you know, even though we
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: all support different teams, we've all connected me ageon Johnny,
• 1:16
  Speaker 1: we connect through the Italian national team that hopefully in
• 1:18
  Speaker 1: two weeks we're going to connect in a positive way
• 1:22
  Speaker 1: with you as well. But tell us your story, what's
• 1:25
  Speaker 1: your passion, what's your story? What drives you to cheer
• 1:28
  Speaker 1: Filato and watch Kulcho. Yeah, so for soccer in general,
• 1:33
  Speaker 1: is my dad. I mean, I think the same thing
• 1:36
  Speaker 1: for Lazio. For me, in my opinion, I think that
• 1:40
  Speaker 1: the only like the way you support a team. I
• 1:42
  Speaker 1: guess it's passed on from from your family member, father
• 1:46
  Speaker 1: or uncle, whatever, or it's whatever, a local team, but
• 1:49
  Speaker 1: not really an MLS guy. Ever since they switched from Impact,
• 1:52
  Speaker 1: I just stopped watching. I still call it Impact, but yeah,
• 1:56
  Speaker 1: I think it was just more like a family thing
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: growing up. Like it's it's very cliche, but you know,
• 2:01
  Speaker 1: like Sunday sauce and then as us and we're all
• 2:03
  Speaker 1: watching the soccer game. Like I think we all in
• 2:06
  Speaker 1: this Italian culture grew up with the same stuff. Definitely
• 2:10
  Speaker 1: the odd one out because I think of growing up
• 2:13
  Speaker 1: I was the only one that go in for lots
• 2:15
  Speaker 1: of year. Everyone was there to eat that van affullly,
• 2:17
  Speaker 1: you know.
• 2:18
  Speaker 2: But it's cool. It's cool because then it's like you
• 2:20
  Speaker 2: get to fight your own bottles, you know, supporting, supporting lots.
• 2:23
  Speaker 4: Of So I have a two parter obviously, everybody that
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: doesn't know you, you know, you put out some some
• 2:30
  Speaker 4: great Latcho inspired content and all.
• 2:32
  Speaker 3: That's all. I'll get it to that in a bit.
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: Just before that, I wanted to ask you, Joe, you know,
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: being a Lotcho fan, and I think you said off
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: air since twenty twelve, if that's if that's.
• 2:42
  Speaker 2: Correct, Yeah, twenty twelve, that's when I started.
• 2:44
  Speaker 3: When you started.
• 2:45
  Speaker 4: Since from Dent till now, which would you say is
• 2:47
  Speaker 4: your has been your your best moment? I guess you
• 2:50
  Speaker 4: you can say, as a lot of fan, the things
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: that stick out to you in your fandom for lots
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: of over.
• 2:54
  Speaker 2: These years, easily, like from twenty sixty to like twenty
• 3:01
  Speaker 2: twenty one, basically the whole time in Zagi was with us.
• 3:04
  Speaker 2: I think he gave us like the best five years
• 3:06
  Speaker 2: of my life as a Latto fan, and specifically twenty nineteen,
• 3:11
  Speaker 2: Like I stand by it to this day. If COVID
• 3:15
  Speaker 2: never happened, I think we would have won that scudetto
• 3:17
  Speaker 2: you know, like it's not an excuse. Obviously everyone had
• 3:19
  Speaker 2: to play a game every three days, but we didn't
• 3:22
  Speaker 2: have the depth for that because we were like it
• 3:23
  Speaker 2: was like a Cinderella run. One of the most proudest moments,
• 3:28
  Speaker 2: especially now like how bad we've been this season. Like
• 3:31
  Speaker 2: I see young Lato fans coming up in my live
• 3:34
  Speaker 2: streams and I'm like, like, these kids don't know like
• 3:37
  Speaker 2: trying to cho iMobile and all that, and Malinkovich Savage
• 3:40
  Speaker 2: it hurts, you know, or like Kita Bode but I
• 3:43
  Speaker 2: just put on a story because he got like some
• 3:45
  Speaker 2: card on FIFA and I stopped playing it. But I'm like,
• 3:48
  Speaker 2: oh my god, I'm just remembering all those days, or
• 3:50
  Speaker 2: even like Lacho a side when it was called Setiat team,
• 3:54
  Speaker 2: like there's like Hamsick and Nihoi and it was it
• 3:58
  Speaker 2: was a goaded era of set Yeah. And obviously, like
• 4:00
  Speaker 2: these kids that are born in like twenty fifteen that
• 4:03
  Speaker 2: are like old enough now to like, you know, go
• 4:06
  Speaker 2: on social media that they don't know about like the
• 4:09
  Speaker 2: players we grew up watching. And also for me, yeah,
• 4:14
  Speaker 2: twenty nineteen like pre COVID COVID lotso was like my
• 4:17
  Speaker 2: favorite time to be alive.
• 4:19
  Speaker 4: I don't know, they don't know how it is to
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: go to school in a snowstorm or an ice storm either.
• 4:22
  Speaker 2: Yeah, we're just talking about these kids. They got a
• 4:25
  Speaker 2: tweet day in advice. I was sitting by the TV
• 4:27
  Speaker 2: or the radio waiting for for a snow day.
• 4:31
  Speaker 1: For context for anyone listening outside of Montreal, there was
• 4:35
  Speaker 1: this massesteria yesterday that we're gonna have the biggest ice storms,
• 4:38
  Speaker 1: and you know the story much everything is shut down,
• 4:42
  Speaker 1: work is shut down, and schools are closed a day
• 4:45
  Speaker 1: in advance on today, Wednesday, wake up, where's the rain?
• 4:49
  Speaker 1: And anyone noon? Okay, Yeah it was bad. It's bad.
• 4:53
  Speaker 1: There's freezing rain, but not the worst we've seen. We've
• 4:55
  Speaker 1: seen worse a couple of years ago. If you guys remember, yeah,
• 4:58
  Speaker 1: we all have power. That's the most important thing. So
• 5:01
  Speaker 1: I guess the people calling this the biggest storm probably
• 5:04
  Speaker 1: also called Mattia cal the next best offender in Italian football,
• 5:08
  Speaker 1: So I can get it all right.
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 5:12
  Speaker 4: And just to follow up on the on the question
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: bad Joe, the content obviously is is what. I guess
• 5:19
  Speaker 4: you're You're known for you the phones and don't they're
• 5:22
  Speaker 4: not they're ringing off the hook for you. It seems
• 5:24
  Speaker 4: like you're you're it's like one week in a week's work.
• 5:30
  Speaker 4: It's it's crazy, but honestly, good for you. And I
• 5:32
  Speaker 4: just wanted to, uh to ask, you know, obviously that's
• 5:36
  Speaker 4: how we kind of connected. Obviously you know we are
• 5:38
  Speaker 4: in the same backyard, but you know we connected over
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: and only culture, but obviously content and stuff like that.
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: Just if you want to kind of explain how you
• 5:46
  Speaker 4: got into it, what made you start, and where where
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: do you want this content to go?
• 5:52
  Speaker 2: Yeah, so, uh yeah, I get that question a lot.
• 5:56
  Speaker 2: It actually started pretty uh pretty like. It actually started
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: a pretty low time in my life in terms of
• 6:04
  Speaker 2: because I was literally in university. I had no idea
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: what I was doing. And I'm actually repeating exactly what
• 6:11
  Speaker 2: I said yesterday. They asked me the same question, and
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: basically I was I was always like a like, I
• 6:18
  Speaker 2: like to yap a lot, and everyone knew me as
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: the Latcho guy. So maybe I'll post a couple of
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: tiktoks about it. It was cool and I remember the
• 6:26
  Speaker 2: day I started it was literally like I was on
• 6:29
  Speaker 2: the phone my friend and I'm like, yo, like I
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: don't know, I'm gonna tell my parents. I'm about to drop
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: out of school. Like I was literally like broke, broke
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: af I don't want to swear, but I was just
• 6:40
  Speaker 2: about to drop out of UNI. I had no idea
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: what was do in my life. I just started posting
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: between that and finally was able to figure, you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: stuff out, and I was able to get I guess,
• 6:51
  Speaker 2: escape from the harsh reality of what it's like to
• 6:53
  Speaker 2: be an adult with lotsio and then it just took
• 6:56
  Speaker 2: off from there to the point now like this is
• 6:58
  Speaker 2: a bit different, but I also have like an alter ego.
• 7:01
  Speaker 2: I'm also in like the food game, so that's not
• 7:03
  Speaker 2: kind of how it started. And it's like four years now.
• 7:05
  Speaker 2: And what I like about it the most is like
• 7:08
  Speaker 2: I met guys like you Bellow BREENI you know the
• 7:11
  Speaker 2: guys from New York, Like I go to New York.
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: Now I know so many people there, and it's like
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: I know people from a different country because of Kolcho
• 7:19
  Speaker 2: or social media. So what I like about it is
• 7:22
  Speaker 2: there's literally no there's no limits to what you can
• 7:25
  Speaker 2: achieve with with social media. So yeah, that's pretty much
• 7:30
  Speaker 2: how I got into it. And I mean now I
• 7:32
  Speaker 2: still don't even know what I'm doing. That's I said
• 7:35
  Speaker 2: yesterday too. I'm still figuring it out, but I'm having
• 7:38
  Speaker 2: a blast like tonight.
• 7:39
  Speaker 3: You know.
• 7:40
  Speaker 1: It's good man, It's good. You know, find a passion
• 7:43
  Speaker 1: and make your life out of it, right, you know,
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: not everyone will follow the same path, whether that's university
• 7:50
  Speaker 1: or trade school or this or that. Like, you know,
• 7:53
  Speaker 1: as long as you're happy.
• 7:54
  Speaker 2: And you do what you're doing with your life, that's
• 7:56
  Speaker 2: what I realized, you know.
• 7:58
  Speaker 4: And it's cool right because we say it all the
• 7:59
  Speaker 4: time right to be. I mean we've been doing this
• 8:01
  Speaker 4: podcast for for a little bit now, and uh, like
• 8:04
  Speaker 4: Nick set to open the show. We're on episode two
• 8:06
  Speaker 4: ninety seven, and it's not the Brage or anything, but
• 8:08
  Speaker 4: along those along that way, you know, we just the
• 8:11
  Speaker 4: camaraderie of of interacting with different people, with connecting with
• 8:15
  Speaker 4: different people from not only local because you know, you
• 8:18
  Speaker 4: kind of start off of this and maybe all your
• 8:19
  Speaker 4: your friends or your local people kind of tune in
• 8:23
  Speaker 4: or kind of interact with.
• 8:24
  Speaker 3: But then it becomes more than that.
• 8:25
  Speaker 4: And I think the greatest joy out of all this,
• 8:28
  Speaker 4: because you know, social media is a powerful thing, but
• 8:30
  Speaker 4: when you use it for the right, for the good, yeah,
• 8:33
  Speaker 4: and the than the bad because we see all the
• 8:34
  Speaker 4: negative online.
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: But yeah, you know you can really connect and and
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: that camaraderie.
• 8:39
  Speaker 4: Of of being able to to call you know, people
• 8:42
  Speaker 4: you know more than just you know, acquaintances, but friends.
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: It's a it's a cool thing. So listen and keep
• 8:48
  Speaker 3: it up.
• 8:48
  Speaker 4: And uh, it's it's it's cool to see you're you're
• 8:51
  Speaker 4: a little bit of a rise there because you know,
• 8:52
  Speaker 4: your your interactions and your your videos are.
• 8:55
  Speaker 3: Are are hilarious.
• 8:56
  Speaker 4: So listen, we're all we're buying you for sure, and
• 8:59
  Speaker 4: I and then we also appreciate the support that you've
• 9:02
  Speaker 4: given us.
• 9:02
  Speaker 3: It means that means a lot as well.
• 9:05
  Speaker 2: And hey, you guys every right to brat by the way,
• 9:07
  Speaker 2: two hundred and ninety seven episodes, you have every right
• 9:10
  Speaker 2: to do so, so you know, but yeah, you know
• 9:13
  Speaker 2: what I know, you guys are humble people.
• 9:14
  Speaker 1: Yeah, uh, hell, time to talk about some LATO. Unfortunately,
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: one of the one of the weirder seasons, like if
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: if you pull up there, if you pull up their
• 9:27
  Speaker 1: schedule in Wikipedia, you know, it has obviously green for
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: the win, red for the lost, yellow for the draw, right,
• 9:34
  Speaker 1: and it looks like as if they're making like a
• 9:36
  Speaker 1: layered cake or a flag or something like zero consistency.
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: Past few games in Sadiya win lost, draw, loss, draw, win,
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: draw loss, win draw loss, and then the last time
• 9:49
  Speaker 1: they had two games with the same results was back
• 9:51
  Speaker 1: in December, two draws, So very inconsistent. Sciason two to
• 9:55
  Speaker 1: one win this past weekend against US to swallow a
• 9:59
  Speaker 1: decent so swallow t Maldini Marusitch with the goals. I
• 10:04
  Speaker 1: don't know what did What did you make of the game?
• 10:07
  Speaker 1: And not not only that, what do you make of
• 10:09
  Speaker 1: all this inconsistency this season?
• 10:12
  Speaker 2: Uh, the inconsistency. I have to say, it was a
• 10:14
  Speaker 2: shock to me when I predicted the Setia standings. I
• 10:21
  Speaker 2: got a lot of heat for it because I'm like,
• 10:23
  Speaker 2: you know, we got one competition a week, and we
• 10:26
  Speaker 2: have Sadi and the guy we finished second place with
• 10:28
  Speaker 2: him in that season when we had one competition a week,
• 10:31
  Speaker 2: So I'm like, is it that far fetched to say,
• 10:34
  Speaker 2: especially with INTE, all these teams you know, finishing in
• 10:38
  Speaker 2: the you know, having all these competitions and then you know,
• 10:42
  Speaker 2: like you can you can see to my right here
• 10:44
  Speaker 2: like this just goes to show it's like what what happened?
• 10:48
  Speaker 2: And for me, it goes back to this, you know.
• 10:51
  Speaker 2: We even when we were pushing for the school Detto,
• 10:54
  Speaker 2: like I said twenty nineteen, it always comes back to
• 10:57
  Speaker 2: Lo Tito And for the people that don't know, you know,
• 11:01
  Speaker 2: the stadium's very empty because we're protesting against the Lotito.
• 11:06
  Speaker 2: The guy likes money and the only way you can
• 11:08
  Speaker 2: really hurt him is not going to the games. And
• 11:09
  Speaker 2: it sucks for the players because we feel for them.
• 11:12
  Speaker 2: But I'm sorry, but this is ridiculous, you know. And
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: I also sympathize with Fiorentina fans. They must be furious
• 11:18
  Speaker 2: because I'm sorry, teams like Lotscho Fiorentina like this is
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: for historic teams like the one of the Seven Sisters,
• 11:25
  Speaker 2: you know. And the last time I saw Loatso doabbling
• 11:28
  Speaker 2: in between ten and twelve places. Actually when we started,
• 11:31
  Speaker 2: when I started supporting Lotso on twenty twelve, we had
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: such an irrelevant team and I would argue, you know,
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: all respect to my team, but we have a pretty irrelevant,
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: mediocre team on paper, and actually I posed this question
• 11:44
  Speaker 2: to the other guys, but I want you guys to
• 11:45
  Speaker 2: guess who has the most goals and assists in the
• 11:50
  Speaker 2: entire squad. It just sums up our season. If you
• 11:52
  Speaker 2: guys can just give a quick guess.
• 11:54
  Speaker 3: I saw the answer, so I'm going to let me
• 11:57
  Speaker 3: try to answer it.
• 11:57
  Speaker 2: If you can guess the answer, I don't think you'll
• 11:59
  Speaker 2: get it.
• 12:00
  Speaker 1: But no, I'm not.
• 12:06
  Speaker 3: No, no, give him the position group.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: It's a midfielder. It's a defensive midfielder.
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: Midfielder, yeah, Italian.
• 12:20
  Speaker 2: Italian defensive midfielder.
• 12:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah.
• 12:24
  Speaker 2: I don't know. Danilo Cataldi, uh is who's been at
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: our club since he was like, no joke, I think
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: eight or nine years old. Like he's been a la.
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: He's a lone stints at Fiorentina, Genoa, Benevento, all that stuff.
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: But this guy, like, uh, I'm not saying he's bad,
• 12:42
  Speaker 2: he's just like he's like a Galiardini, you know what
• 12:44
  Speaker 2: I mean, Like you put him in he as passion,
• 12:46
  Speaker 2: but guys like him having the most goals and assists
• 12:48
  Speaker 2: and the squad just goes to show that even when
• 12:50
  Speaker 2: we win games. It's not like with Chio mobile. We
• 12:53
  Speaker 2: don't really have a guy. I guess you could say
• 12:55
  Speaker 2: it' Zakanya, but he's been off too, so it's kind
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: of like when we win, it's just because we're winning,
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: Like as a group. You know, we beat Sa solo,
• 13:03
  Speaker 2: but that was bad man marking from them and Matosich
• 13:06
  Speaker 2: an unlikely hero. I love that guy too, but yeah,
• 13:11
  Speaker 2: it just goes to show like when you got that guy. Also,
• 13:14
  Speaker 2: thank you to Milan for or it wasn't directly him,
• 13:16
  Speaker 2: but Maldini. You know, he proved me wrong. I think
• 13:20
  Speaker 2: he's been outstanding and for me, I think the reason
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: why he's been good is because Sadi puts him. He
• 13:27
  Speaker 2: Basically I thought he was gonna be a winger because
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: I know that's where he played in other teams. But
• 13:31
  Speaker 2: Sadi literally made him the main guy. Like first first
• 13:35
  Speaker 2: game ever, I thought he was gonna come off the
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: bench side. He's like, no, okay, we're playing a four
• 13:39
  Speaker 2: to three to three, No more striker, you're gonna be
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: a false nine, and he lets him do whatever he wants.
• 13:43
  Speaker 2: The guy will even drop so deep sometimes he'll receive
• 13:46
  Speaker 2: the ball from a center back or one of our
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: defensive midfielders and I think a guy like Maldini, I
• 13:52
  Speaker 2: think you just have to let him be creative and
• 13:54
  Speaker 2: bro three goals, three goals and assist and like his
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: first seven games, I'm very happy with him.
• 14:00
  Speaker 4: Yeah, it was for me, it was a weird one
• 14:01
  Speaker 4: to see him, honestly make that move. You know, it
• 14:03
  Speaker 4: was kind of for me. It came out of came
• 14:04
  Speaker 4: out of the blue. I don't know, again, I don't
• 14:06
  Speaker 4: follow you know, Lato's Merkato so uh the time. Yeah, intensely,
• 14:12
  Speaker 4: but yeah, for me, it was a bit of a
• 14:15
  Speaker 4: weird one. But again, another another platform for him to
• 14:17
  Speaker 4: to to perform on and listen, if he's gonna do well,
• 14:20
  Speaker 4: it's it's all the it's all the power to him.
• 14:22
  Speaker 4: But speaking about Metcato, obviously, like you said, they're not
• 14:25
  Speaker 4: really much of one.
• 14:26
  Speaker 3: Is this is this inconsistency and the way you said,
• 14:30
  Speaker 3: you know.
• 14:31
  Speaker 4: You know, we don't really have a solid squad on paper,
• 14:35
  Speaker 4: like was the the lack of the Medkato and not
• 14:38
  Speaker 4: having one in in the winter and having to really
• 14:41
  Speaker 4: kind of scramble U in the summer, sorry, not having
• 14:44
  Speaker 4: one in the summer, kind of scrambling one in the winter.
• 14:47
  Speaker 3: Is that what you kind of point your finger as to.
• 14:50
  Speaker 4: Why why this season is going the way it is,
• 14:52
  Speaker 4: or is there is there something deeper than that?
• 14:54
  Speaker 2: Uh, maybe part of it. I like when I predicted
• 14:58
  Speaker 2: I knew we didn't have a summer transfer Wanto that's
• 15:01
  Speaker 2: because of the ninety million euar O death. I thought,
• 15:05
  Speaker 2: I don't. I didn't think it was really gonna affect us.
• 15:07
  Speaker 2: I know everyone else got stronger, but like I said,
• 15:09
  Speaker 2: the one competition a week Sadi. He thrives on that
• 15:12
  Speaker 2: and he can fully focus on the league. So and
• 15:15
  Speaker 2: keep in mind, we did technically upgrade because we called
• 15:18
  Speaker 2: back Kataldi and Cancillieri from their loan spells. So I
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: really thought it wouldn't affect us. But you know, you
• 15:24
  Speaker 2: see it. But I still have to say it's a
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: lot tito lack of, lack of spending money. And you know,
• 15:30
  Speaker 2: I'm jealous of Milan because you guys have vially Tare
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: and that guy was the guy that scouted that golden
• 15:34
  Speaker 2: generation of like mid to late twenty tens, early twenty twenties,
• 15:38
  Speaker 2: that a Lazio team. The guy he has a he
• 15:41
  Speaker 2: has a talent for this stuff. You know, the problem
• 15:44
  Speaker 2: is is that our new sporting director you know doesn't
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: have that. He tried to have the same philosophy. Which
• 15:50
  Speaker 2: it's cool, right when you sign a nobody, right because
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: Milikov is savage. When we got him, like he even
• 15:54
  Speaker 2: came out and said it a year before it, he
• 15:56
  Speaker 2: was about to quit soccer and go play professional basketball.
• 15:59
  Speaker 2: We signed literal nobody's lose Aberto wasn't nobody. Philippa Anderson
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: was a gold medal winner when nymar back in the Olympics.
• 16:07
  Speaker 2: But it's cool to sign and nobody make triple the money, right,
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: And but you it's a gamble every time, and you know,
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: you start seeing it. We're getting all these guys that
• 16:16
  Speaker 2: they're just irrelevant. And you know, even when we signed
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: Rock cough from from Salzburg, I'm like, okay, like I'm
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: tired of signing nobody's. Can we sign someone that people know, Like,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: I'm tired of taking a chance on these guys. So
• 16:29
  Speaker 2: for me, you're right, the summer did hurt us. But
• 16:34
  Speaker 2: it all comes down to the management, like desperately, like
• 16:37
  Speaker 2: Chinese owners, just someone just come buy our club and please,
• 16:41
  Speaker 2: just and you need to spend money. I'm sorry, That's
• 16:43
  Speaker 2: how it is.
• 16:45
  Speaker 1: What and what do you think about all the fans
• 16:48
  Speaker 1: protesting and you know, empty stadiums. It almost feels like
• 16:52
  Speaker 1: it's the pandemic again with these empty stadiums. What's it
• 16:55
  Speaker 1: like watching the games like that? And you know, how
• 16:57
  Speaker 1: about the affect it as on players?
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: Well, yeah, I definitely agree. It sounds like COVID, Like
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: I can hear Saddi yelling on the touchline that's how
• 17:06
  Speaker 2: bad it's been. Yeah, I can see how it affects
• 17:10
  Speaker 2: the players based on the poor results. So imagine going
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: to play away obviously the way it's you know, you
• 17:18
  Speaker 2: got the fans of their team on you, but then
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: you come back home like we got fortunate for some reason.
• 17:23
  Speaker 2: We played at Atlanta Sasolo and now we'll playing Miland
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: this weekend. We have three back to back home games
• 17:28
  Speaker 2: and it doesn't feel like it right, It doesn't feel
• 17:30
  Speaker 2: like it at all. But I don't think it's affecting
• 17:34
  Speaker 2: the players that much. They're aware of why they're under there.
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: They understand why it's like this, And uh, you know,
• 17:41
  Speaker 2: I love Sadi. I'm surprised he's still with us. Like
• 17:44
  Speaker 2: I told, if you would leave in the summer, I
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: don't blame him if Zakanya would leave all these guys,
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: like I was fully ready to be like I'm I'm
• 17:52
  Speaker 2: scared to say it, but like if we're going to
• 17:54
  Speaker 2: be one of those start having that dip and mid
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: to low table, like I'm ready to write it out.
• 17:59
  Speaker 2: Lots could go to st D and I would still
• 18:01
  Speaker 2: watch them. But it's just like it's brutal to see
• 18:05
  Speaker 2: how far we've come down, especially considering I think we
• 18:08
  Speaker 2: have a couple of decent players that Kanye Mario Hila
• 18:10
  Speaker 2: for me, I think he's like top five top five
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: in the league, like defender, and he was one we
• 18:17
  Speaker 2: took a chance on. He was literally like, uh, probably
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: like a ninth choice center back at Real Madrid, made
• 18:23
  Speaker 2: one appearance for them in the Copa del Ray and
• 18:25
  Speaker 2: now he's a top defender. But like I said, like Milan,
• 18:28
  Speaker 2: you guys go for or Juve, you guys go for.
• 18:31
  Speaker 2: And it's not even that you're spending more money than us,
• 18:32
  Speaker 2: because you guys get them for good deals too. It's
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: just I don't know what this obsession is with signing
• 18:37
  Speaker 2: like a random serbian, Like, yeah, it's cool if he
• 18:39
  Speaker 2: works out, but you know, not everyone's like this be real,
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: like it's not the you're you're you're rolling the dice.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: You're gambling every time, and it's it's not good.
• 18:49
  Speaker 3: Yeah, I think that.
• 18:50
  Speaker 4: I think there's moneyball tactic. I mean for the for
• 18:54
  Speaker 4: the books. Obviously it's nice.
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: Right, yeah, that's what Lotito cares about.
• 18:58
  Speaker 3: And that's what it is, right And I agree.
• 18:59
  Speaker 4: And but as a fan, right, especially like across the pond,
• 19:03
  Speaker 4: like us fans that are that are tuning in at
• 19:05
  Speaker 4: whatever hours that you know that these that these uh
• 19:08
  Speaker 4: you know our teams play at we don't want to
• 19:11
  Speaker 4: see that.
• 19:11
  Speaker 3: Like we don't care about those things.
• 19:12
  Speaker 4: We just want the result and to bring the player
• 19:15
  Speaker 4: and and to and to win and and listen, I
• 19:18
  Speaker 4: agree with you because you know means not on the
• 19:20
  Speaker 4: same level like like you guys.
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: But like you guys are way ahead Dan.
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: Way ahead.
• 19:24
  Speaker 4: But just to say, like you know that some mean
• 19:28
  Speaker 4: fans like with this, like we always say like the moneyball,
• 19:30
  Speaker 4: uh you know effect it's like okay, like okay, our
• 19:33
  Speaker 4: pockets are good. You know, we're in the green net
• 19:35
  Speaker 4: positive all that good stuff. But it's like you know,
• 19:38
  Speaker 4: we need uh, we need this player, we need that position.
• 19:41
  Speaker 3: We need like you know what I mean, and like
• 19:42
  Speaker 3: as fans, we just want that to happen. And you
• 19:44
  Speaker 3: know we don't. We don't see the day to day.
• 19:46
  Speaker 4: But you know, speaking about our teams, obviously we we
• 19:49
  Speaker 4: do uh we do.
• 19:51
  Speaker 3: We do battle obviously on the on the weekend. Right
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: watch you and me.
• 19:57
  Speaker 4: Both teams coming off off wins, right me on and
• 20:01
  Speaker 4: the Dead be against Inted and you guys against a
• 20:03
  Speaker 4: swol on my I think it was Monday, Monday game.
• 20:07
  Speaker 4: Just uh, just maybe your thoughts on on the game,
• 20:09
  Speaker 4: because like I have my thoughts, I just want to
• 20:10
  Speaker 4: hear yours first on the matchup.
• 20:13
  Speaker 1: What do you expect?
• 20:14
  Speaker 4: And you know how how important are these three points
• 20:16
  Speaker 4: for for lotso.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: In terms of the league, Like for me said, yeah
• 20:21
  Speaker 2: it's done, like I think, yeah, it's over. Like you
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: guys are going to see in the title of this video,
• 20:27
  Speaker 2: I think Copeitalia. But just focus on Copetalia because mathematically,
• 20:34
  Speaker 2: you take a look at it, all we got to
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: do is win our next two games and we not
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: only have a trophy first one in twenty since twenty nineteen,
• 20:40
  Speaker 2: and we get a Europa League spot. Considering that this
• 20:44
  Speaker 2: is one of statistically one of our worst finishes ever
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: to come away with a trophy in Europa League. I
• 20:49
  Speaker 2: would take that one hundred percent. So for me, said, yeah,
• 20:52
  Speaker 2: it's just entertainment. I love doing my live stream, so
• 20:54
  Speaker 2: that's why I do it. For this weekend, I think
• 20:58
  Speaker 2: we're gonna lose three to one. I'm just gonna come
• 20:59
  Speaker 2: out and say it. I don't care that we're at home.
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I know some fans are apparently going to come back,
• 21:03
  Speaker 2: but you guys are just too strong. We can't compete.
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: But I will say that I warn't the other meal
• 21:10
  Speaker 2: and guys. My word of advice or tactics. Sorry, I
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: don't know if my dogs he's in the back, I
• 21:16
  Speaker 2: don't know if you guys hear him. But my tactics
• 21:18
  Speaker 2: for you guys, I would say is we were like
• 21:22
  Speaker 2: a pot of boiling water. It takes us a while.
• 21:24
  Speaker 2: So if you guys can score early, you'll win the game.
• 21:27
  Speaker 2: And that's what Atalanta failed to do in that couple
• 21:29
  Speaker 2: time match. That's why it ended to too or else.
• 21:31
  Speaker 2: I'm telling you now, if it's a Pacosta didn' hit
• 21:33
  Speaker 2: the crossbar and the Kerstovich goal stood, that game would
• 21:36
  Speaker 2: have been done by halftime. The problem is they didn't
• 21:39
  Speaker 2: take their chances. We decided to wake up and we
• 21:42
  Speaker 2: punish you. That's how That's how we've always been. And
• 21:44
  Speaker 2: I don't trust Latsio to do well when we're trailing,
• 21:48
  Speaker 2: when we're doing when we're beating you guys before ahead,
• 21:50
  Speaker 2: forget it. I think I'm confident will beat you guys
• 21:53
  Speaker 2: if you take it first. We have no pushback. So
• 21:57
  Speaker 2: for me, I just think, alleg you guys are just
• 22:00
  Speaker 2: so tactically well put together. And I praised them in
• 22:03
  Speaker 2: the other podcast because like, you guys have two losses
• 22:06
  Speaker 2: all season, which is incredible. It's absolutely incredible. And to
• 22:10
  Speaker 2: say that for me, I think you guys are the
• 22:12
  Speaker 2: best team in the league because inte, I don't think
• 22:14
  Speaker 2: are that good, but I genuinely think you guys are
• 22:18
  Speaker 2: shooting yourselves in the foot. You see all these draws
• 22:20
  Speaker 2: you guys have, that's what's causing you to dip because
• 22:23
  Speaker 2: you have two losses and said, yeah, you guys are phenomenal.
• 22:26
  Speaker 4: For me, yeah, nine the nine draws is what is
• 22:29
  Speaker 4: what's gonna kill killing?
• 22:32
  Speaker 3: I said it.
• 22:32
  Speaker 4: I said it, you know, we said it last season.
• 22:34
  Speaker 4: Obviously Nick knows it far too well. With the uve draws,
• 22:38
  Speaker 4: it was like up to upwards of like what thirteen
• 22:40
  Speaker 4: fourteen draws or maybe more, I don't remember, Nick, what
• 22:44
  Speaker 4: was it something up there right with you? With lash year,
• 22:48
  Speaker 4: it was like it was crazy amount fourteen whatever it was.
• 22:52
  Speaker 3: It was like it was in it was in the teens.
• 22:55
  Speaker 3: That's all I know, right, it draws.
• 22:58
  Speaker 4: So you know Melon's nine draws is And I said
• 23:02
  Speaker 4: it a couple of weeks ago too, when we had
• 23:03
  Speaker 4: an inter guest on a friend of ours, a friend
• 23:05
  Speaker 4: of the show, tell Marco.
• 23:07
  Speaker 1: You've last year drew sixteen games, Milan nine, Bologna sixteen.
• 23:11
  Speaker 3: Okay, sorry, I was I was even off.
• 23:13
  Speaker 1: That's almost half half half, bro, that's literally almost half
• 23:16
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 23:17
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly right.
• 23:19
  Speaker 4: And that's and that's what you know, caught up to them, right,
• 23:21
  Speaker 4: And you know, I don't want to sound like, you
• 23:23
  Speaker 4: know the same way for Melan, but you know, nine
• 23:27
  Speaker 4: draws is what's going to ultimately probably kill them from
• 23:30
  Speaker 4: getting that that you know, second star and getting another
• 23:32
  Speaker 4: school that though, right, and catching inter on on their heels.
• 23:36
  Speaker 4: But yeah, because if you have two draws, and I
• 23:39
  Speaker 4: think they have the I saw somewhere again I didn't
• 23:42
  Speaker 4: check before coming on, but I'm pretty sure they have
• 23:43
  Speaker 4: the best defense in twenty goals twenty goals conceded last year,
• 23:49
  Speaker 4: all year we had I think forty three or forty
• 23:52
  Speaker 4: something conceded. So you know, Allegury has really done his
• 23:56
  Speaker 4: Allegury work right for this team. And yeah, I listen
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: for Melan like over the weekend.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: You know, the debut was a huge, huge match.
• 24:05
  Speaker 4: Obviously forget that it is a DeBie, but you know
• 24:09
  Speaker 4: the scudetto race or it's back on or is it off?
• 24:12
  Speaker 3: Is it back on?
• 24:13
  Speaker 4: Like that was up for grabs as well, and you know,
• 24:15
  Speaker 4: cutting the gap to seven, it's it's been done before.
• 24:19
  Speaker 4: It's not over. It's been done before. Where you know,
• 24:21
  Speaker 4: teams have come back. You know, I think I listened
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: to h del Pierot talk and you know, I forget
• 24:26
  Speaker 4: what year it was, but you know, nine points back
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: and they came out to win the to come back
• 24:29
  Speaker 4: to win the league. Obviously, I'm pretty sure that you've
• 24:32
  Speaker 4: a team is probably better than this mealon side. But
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: you know, nevertheless, I think, you know, it's it's not
• 24:38
  Speaker 4: completely over. I do think it's very far fetched to
• 24:41
  Speaker 4: see you know, Melan end up winning the winning the championship,
• 24:44
  Speaker 4: but it's ten games for me, it's ten finals right
• 24:47
  Speaker 4: for for me on and this is a must win.
• 24:49
  Speaker 3: So I mean no disrespect to Lotsho, but for me
• 24:52
  Speaker 3: on they have they have to go out there and
• 24:54
  Speaker 3: get to know.
• 24:54
  Speaker 2: It's it's it's it's.
• 24:57
  Speaker 4: There's no other way about it. So I don't care
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: if if it's a one nil, if it's if it's a.
• 25:02
  Speaker 3: Two to one, if it's whatever, it is three one
• 25:05
  Speaker 3: like what I don't.
• 25:06
  Speaker 4: For me, it doesn't matter. They need to three points
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: however it's going to come. That's what I would predict.
• 25:12
  Speaker 4: I would probably probably lean towards a one nil again,
• 25:15
  Speaker 4: but yeah, probably be lower scoring. I could see that too,
• 25:17
  Speaker 4: you know. But again if it it goes the other way,
• 25:20
  Speaker 4: like you know, Milan is a team where you know.
• 25:23
  Speaker 3: It's a tale of two halves.
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: It seems like, especially recently, right they either start off
• 25:27
  Speaker 4: strong or they come out in the second half or
• 25:30
  Speaker 4: later on in the second half and and kind of
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: and kind of get a result or or lose the match,
• 25:34
  Speaker 4: like you know, it's one of those things. So for me,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: it's it's it has to be three points for Milan,
• 25:39
  Speaker 4: and it's it's one more check mark off to try
• 25:44
  Speaker 4: and catch you know this inter who.
• 25:46
  Speaker 3: We've played Atalanta this weekend, so that's.
• 25:48
  Speaker 2: Yeah, they're playing, they're playing that, and they stuff to
• 25:50
  Speaker 2: play us, like, yeah, a lot of chances for them
• 25:52
  Speaker 2: to slip up. And I was saying that the weeks
• 25:56
  Speaker 2: that's going to be important for you guys is let's
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: say you guys play first and you win, the pressure
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: shifts over to them, you know. So I think if
• 26:04
  Speaker 2: you guys would have lost on Sunday, I think you
• 26:06
  Speaker 2: could call it quit.
• 26:07
  Speaker 1: That it was over.
• 26:08
  Speaker 3: We're already already calling it over now, but or before
• 26:11
  Speaker 3: the day.
• 26:11
  Speaker 2: I don't think seven points is not that crazy to say.
• 26:13
  Speaker 2: It's a thirty thirty points, right, we say thirty points
• 26:16
  Speaker 2: is left over. You guys have seven to catch up
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: to them. Anything's possible. And I think they stop to
• 26:21
  Speaker 2: play you've too if oh no, no, they played, you've
• 26:24
  Speaker 2: already and all that, but anything can happen, you know,
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: and they still have coal, So you guys just have
• 26:31
  Speaker 2: uh Sea to focus on.
• 26:33
  Speaker 3: So it's ten finals. Yeah, it's it's ten finals from now.
• 26:37
  Speaker 2: Nothing to lose exactly, So no one would put a
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: gun to your head. If you guys show it, you
• 26:42
  Speaker 2: weren't even choking nothing. It's interscod to lose. If you
• 26:45
  Speaker 2: guys don't get it, well, look, you guys locked up
• 26:47
  Speaker 2: Champions League for next season, so that's a plus already.
• 26:51
  Speaker 1: Yeah, absolutely, Uh yeah, Joe. So when you you know
• 26:54
  Speaker 1: you said before, uh, city As is done for you,
• 26:58
  Speaker 1: does that mean even like finishishing within the European spot,
• 27:02
  Speaker 1: you know, you don't see lots of it's done pretty
• 27:04
  Speaker 1: much the only way to get into europ next season
• 27:06
  Speaker 1: is by winning the Yeah.
• 27:07
  Speaker 2: Like, uh, I don't even know what the gap is.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: I think we have like thirty seven points, yeah, exactly
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: fifty Yeah, Like we're talking about a like a thirteen
• 27:18
  Speaker 2: to fourteen point gap, and that's just yeah, and that's
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: just to get into the conversation. We're like fourteen points
• 27:25
  Speaker 2: a way to get into the conversation. So for me,
• 27:27
  Speaker 2: it's like we're done. I'm not saying, you know, I
• 27:29
  Speaker 2: made a joke after we won. I'm like, yeah, guys,
• 27:31
  Speaker 2: we're gonna avoid relegation because at one point we're before
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: the game started, we were like nine points above relations
• 27:36
  Speaker 2: So I was like I was getting it scared mathematically
• 27:39
  Speaker 2: still possible to be real, yes, yes, no, no, one hundred.
• 27:43
  Speaker 2: You need the.
• 27:44
  Speaker 1: Max right now, it's the targets at fifty four as
• 27:47
  Speaker 1: it stands match okay minimum, Oh even you're not even
• 27:52
  Speaker 1: only only Map only Annapoly and the Melan teams have
• 27:55
  Speaker 1: mathematically clinched the city at next season.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Okay, well there you go, So no one's I guess
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: no one's safe really realistically, I don't think we're like
• 28:03
  Speaker 2: that bad, but it's just like a personal hell for
• 28:06
  Speaker 2: me because you know, if we were a relegation team,
• 28:09
  Speaker 2: there's something to fight to stay up, and if we
• 28:11
  Speaker 2: were a team to push for Europe. When you're in
• 28:12
  Speaker 2: that middle ground like a Fulham, you know, it's it's
• 28:15
  Speaker 2: kind of like it's like they're no man's team. Yeah,
• 28:18
  Speaker 2: it's like are we good? Are we bad? You know so?
• 28:21
  Speaker 2: And that's why copy Italian for me is like the
• 28:24
  Speaker 2: most important thing. Even though I think the audis st
• 28:28
  Speaker 2: stacked against US. I would have liked to go to
• 28:29
  Speaker 2: Beta Gamo with a victory, but now you know, to
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: to thankfully there's no way goals because already Atlanta would
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: have too over US. So I don't know, I don't know.
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: They just got battered by Byron, so hopefully their their
• 28:41
  Speaker 2: spirits are low by the time we played them. I
• 28:43
  Speaker 2: don't know.
• 28:43
  Speaker 1: Yeah, that's that's you know. One thing I wanted to
• 28:47
  Speaker 1: ask about next was was that copy Italian game? It
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: was last week? Last week? Yeah, a lot back and forth.
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: Uh literally scored and then five minutes later it was
• 28:59
  Speaker 1: Pazzolch and then uh DS scored eighty seventh minute, only
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: to get tied up again eighty ninth minute. Yeahsa and yeah,
• 29:08
  Speaker 1: so to to like you said, you know, what were
• 29:11
  Speaker 1: your thoughts on the game specifically, and also you know
• 29:14
  Speaker 1: the fact that it's six weeks between these matches, which
• 29:18
  Speaker 1: it's just it's just insane.
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: It's more than six weeks.
• 29:20
  Speaker 1: March fourth, able twenty second second, whatever that is.
• 29:23
  Speaker 2: I thought when I google it, like.
• 29:26
  Speaker 1: Like I get it, I get it. There's you know,
• 29:29
  Speaker 1: all these European games in between. Talanta's still in it,
• 29:32
  Speaker 1: this and that. I get it. It's just weird and
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: it's like this every year. I just think that's big. Sorry,
• 29:39
  Speaker 1: I think that's the biggest factor.
• 29:40
  Speaker 4: No, like, that's why it's still being in Europe, right,
• 29:41
  Speaker 4: I think, Yeah, Woul probably be like.
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: There's European games, like was it this week, next week?
• 29:47
  Speaker 1: Week after his international break? Come back from international break already,
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: you gotta there's that.
• 29:52
  Speaker 2: That just made me realize it. I'm calculating get in
• 29:55
  Speaker 2: my head.
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: It makes I guess it makes sense, but as a
• 29:58
  Speaker 3: fan like you don't want it to.
• 29:59
  Speaker 1: Yeah, it's basically it's basically the two available weeks in
• 30:02
  Speaker 1: the season that are left to play these games.
• 30:05
  Speaker 2: It's a World Cup two.
• 30:06
  Speaker 1: You know.
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: It's because if you notice, they're gonna you saw it
• 30:09
  Speaker 2: with the Euro twenty twenty one. They're really cramming all
• 30:12
  Speaker 2: these poor players.
• 30:13
  Speaker 3: I don't know how to do it.
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah, from it at all because beginning of June, we
• 30:17
  Speaker 2: don't have time for Champions League Europa League, like we
• 30:19
  Speaker 2: have to start the World Cup. You know. Yeah, guys,
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: fun fact I scored. I scored at the eighty seventh minute.
• 30:24
  Speaker 2: If you guys see at the bottom of the screen,
• 30:25
  Speaker 2: it was me that scored.
• 30:26
  Speaker 4: The Yeah, yeah, that's a.
• 30:30
  Speaker 3: Type I think.
• 30:34
  Speaker 1: Uh no, no, no, no, I was gonna ask her, Yeah,
• 30:36
  Speaker 1: do you think the big gap will affect it at all?
• 30:40
  Speaker 2: I think it can work in our favor, in Atlanta's favor,
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: because I mean me March fourth, April twenty second, God,
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: so much can change in that time. You know, Atlanta
• 30:52
  Speaker 2: got players, are gonna have players that are definitely gonna
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: get called up to the national team. That could affect everybody.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: For us, I don't think there's anybody that's gonna get
• 31:00
  Speaker 2: called up. Maybe he's a Kanye, but I don't think
• 31:02
  Speaker 2: he'll play. So for me, I was hoping Atalanta would
• 31:06
  Speaker 2: do something against Bayron so they would have an incentive
• 31:09
  Speaker 2: to try. But for me, uh, I don't even know. Man.
• 31:14
  Speaker 2: You're when someone asked me that in my live stream,
• 31:17
  Speaker 2: I'm like, I don't even know what I'm gonna have
• 31:18
  Speaker 2: for breakfast the next day, you're asking me April twenty second. What?
• 31:23
  Speaker 2: Who knows what's gonna happen in April twenty second? Are
• 31:26
  Speaker 2: already Provadel he's out for the season, and he's he
• 31:29
  Speaker 2: was our best best player because for people that don't know,
• 31:33
  Speaker 2: we're Provadel had top we're top three and clean sheets
• 31:36
  Speaker 2: in the league. But yeah we're eleventh place. How does
• 31:38
  Speaker 2: that make sense? I have no idea. So he's out
• 31:42
  Speaker 2: for the season. Saslo. We put this guy we got
• 31:45
  Speaker 2: from Rejianna so he's never actually played a Setia game before,
• 31:48
  Speaker 2: so Sady throws him in. He made a nice double
• 31:51
  Speaker 2: save on on Passelch. He did his best. Sorry, no
• 31:57
  Speaker 2: what am I saying, Akone or whoever was that was
• 32:00
  Speaker 2: in attack. I think it was an end Zola, that's
• 32:02
  Speaker 2: his name, But like, the guy looked so scared, and
• 32:06
  Speaker 2: I don't blame him. He's twenty one years old. He's
• 32:09
  Speaker 2: playing Seti Abi Seti at Chi And now Sadi's like, yeah, well,
• 32:12
  Speaker 2: because he got signed in January, and he's probably like, okay,
• 32:15
  Speaker 2: you know, I'm gonna learn from Provdel whatever, and now
• 32:18
  Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, okay, well now you're going to be
• 32:19
  Speaker 2: our goalie for the rest of the season. He has
• 32:21
  Speaker 2: no choice. So honestly, I I really hope, you know,
• 32:27
  Speaker 2: before Provedeal got injured, I thought we could make the final,
• 32:29
  Speaker 2: maybe win Copetal, especially at the finals at the Sadi
• 32:32
  Speaker 2: Olimpico all the time. But now, oh my god, I
• 32:35
  Speaker 2: don't know. Because at Atlanta, I gotta say, you know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 2: Byron showed them levels, but we're talking Bayern Munich. But
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: to highlight at Atlanta, if you guys watch them play,
• 32:42
  Speaker 2: they're just just a joy to watch the way they
• 32:45
  Speaker 2: move the ball, like the one of the goals that
• 32:48
  Speaker 2: the Crossbards at Pacosta hit. Like their full backs they're
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: playing at three five two and their wing backs are
• 32:53
  Speaker 2: connecting with each other. It's it's insane. It reminds me
• 32:56
  Speaker 2: of when Lazio the twenty nineteen within Zagia. I love
• 33:00
  Speaker 2: a three five two formation if you can make it work, yeah,
• 33:03
  Speaker 2: it's it's beautiful. It's the way they move the ball.
• 33:08
  Speaker 2: And if you look at Atlanta's team on paper day,
• 33:11
  Speaker 2: they got like nobody's and and they're just ballers better Nasconi, zapA, Costa, Kustovich,
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: their center back trio. It's just it's phenomenal. So for
• 33:21
  Speaker 2: me and kandes Seki, which I think at the end
• 33:24
  Speaker 2: of the season, I think either Juve or Inter are
• 33:26
  Speaker 2: going to go after him because this guy's like red
• 33:28
  Speaker 2: hot right now, a fantastic keeper. But for me, I
• 33:32
  Speaker 2: think I can't really say what's going to happen in
• 33:34
  Speaker 2: April twenty second, but I will say that I think
• 33:38
  Speaker 2: our odds have gone down drastically with the loss of
• 33:40
  Speaker 2: Provodel because if it goes to penalties, you know, I
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: have faith in them, but no I don't know.
• 33:46
  Speaker 1: He's young.
• 33:46
  Speaker 3: It's it's hard to put all that pressure on.
• 33:49
  Speaker 2: Twenty one years old and you never played a Stadia game.
• 33:52
  Speaker 2: And then Sadi's like, well, okay, let's go.
• 33:55
  Speaker 4: Because I think la they also got rid of the
• 33:57
  Speaker 4: other keeper, right Mandas? Right, was it on loan at
• 34:00
  Speaker 4: bord Zone. He's okay, But he's actually not. I I
• 34:03
  Speaker 4: did some research. He's actually never played a game for them.
• 34:06
  Speaker 2: Sow what a waste. And I thought I thought he
• 34:08
  Speaker 2: would play over there, but yeah, he doesn't played it.
• 34:11
  Speaker 4: I mean, not not to not to be Monday morning quarterback.
• 34:14
  Speaker 4: But you know, does that does that bite you? Guys
• 34:16
  Speaker 4: have been in the ass, you know, because I think
• 34:17
  Speaker 4: Mandas was I think a respect keeper.
• 34:20
  Speaker 2: Right, No, No, he was good, one hundred percent. He's good.
• 34:24
  Speaker 2: I don't think it's biting us because I'm kind of
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: happy he's not doing all over there, because I would
• 34:28
  Speaker 2: love to call him back because he was a fantastic
• 34:31
  Speaker 2: keeper and I and when I was doing my research,
• 34:34
  Speaker 2: I've realized he actually only ever played one game so
• 34:37
  Speaker 2: far the season. It was with us when we uh,
• 34:40
  Speaker 2: when we knocked me and when you go knock together.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: That was the only game he's ever played all season
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: and it sucks because you know, he was good with
• 34:48
  Speaker 2: Baroni and he was a bit shaky with uh with
• 34:52
  Speaker 2: Sadi because obviously he was like twenty one at the time.
• 34:55
  Speaker 2: So when Sadi came back, he now the time he
• 34:58
  Speaker 2: was gone was Mandas was prime and Provodel was garbage.
• 35:02
  Speaker 2: But he only knows Provadel when he coached him, and
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: that was the year that Provadel won Keeper of the
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: Season in the twenty twenty three So when he came back,
• 35:10
  Speaker 2: he's like, I'm sorry, but I'm gonna trust Provadel and
• 35:12
  Speaker 2: now Provodel for some reason, he's a baller again, fantastic keeper.
• 35:16
  Speaker 2: But now he's off for the season. He heard the shoulder,
• 35:18
  Speaker 2: so he's going to be out for three to four
• 35:20
  Speaker 2: months and definitely and who knows if you'll come back
• 35:24
  Speaker 2: the same. So to shout out Eduardo Mota, twenty one
• 35:28
  Speaker 2: years old. This guy's younger than me. The guy's got balls, man. Yeah,
• 35:33
  Speaker 2: I wish him the best of luck. Is to get
• 35:35
  Speaker 2: thrown into a sea match like that, It's it's definitely
• 35:40
  Speaker 2: a wake up, you.
• 35:41
  Speaker 4: Know, yeah, for sure, you know, if they listen, it's
• 35:45
  Speaker 4: all to play for, right, Like for for the result
• 35:48
  Speaker 4: and if they do pass, you know, final is a final, right.
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: If they do pass?
• 35:55
  Speaker 4: And again we are playing the the fs here, but
• 35:58
  Speaker 4: you know if Lots will do pass and they go
• 36:00
  Speaker 4: on to play either or into a Como again, are
• 36:04
  Speaker 4: your expectations still low or are they like where would
• 36:07
  Speaker 4: you where would.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: You see them?
• 36:08
  Speaker 4: Because like you said, Joe, you know this is this,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: this competition is is I don't want to say the
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: bl end all of the season, but like it's a
• 36:16
  Speaker 4: launching pad for some sort of positive in a in
• 36:20
  Speaker 4: a quote unquote negative negative season.
• 36:24
  Speaker 3: What are your thoughts on that?
• 36:26
  Speaker 2: Yeah, definitely agree with you there because if you think
• 36:28
  Speaker 2: about it in five six years from now, we're not
• 36:32
  Speaker 2: going to remember how if we want to win the
• 36:33
  Speaker 2: Cope Italia, let's say, yeah, all it's going to say
• 36:36
  Speaker 2: that year, we're not going to remember how bad they were,
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: just going to say Lotsokope Italian champions and that's all.
• 36:40
  Speaker 2: That's all it is. So for me and and I
• 36:43
  Speaker 2: got a lot of heat for this on My Life Shane.
• 36:45
  Speaker 2: They asked me would you rather face into Como in
• 36:47
  Speaker 2: the final, And no joke, I said, I'd rather face
• 36:49
  Speaker 2: Intet like I don't know what it is. I think
• 36:52
  Speaker 2: we could take them on. Like I said, there's still
• 36:54
  Speaker 2: a fantastic team. I just think they're really overrated right now.
• 36:58
  Speaker 2: Keihu doesn't really know what's going on. Como are this team.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: They're like this this young stud and it's like they
• 37:05
  Speaker 2: have nothing to lose. I'm more scared of them because
• 37:08
  Speaker 2: when a team goes into a competition with nothing to lose,
• 37:11
  Speaker 2: you know, like look at Boto Glimpse in the Champions League.
• 37:14
  Speaker 2: They're they're flying. It's because they have nothing. They got
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: no pressure int it. If they somehow, like you know,
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: they got knocked out in the Champions League, they somehow
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: like start you guys start getting closer to them, They're
• 37:24
  Speaker 2: gonna start looking to cope tally because they want to
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: win some silverware. It's you know, they played for that draw,
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: like you saw, I was boring and you know what
• 37:32
  Speaker 2: Nick said about how it's that big gap. That's another
• 37:35
  Speaker 2: thing too. I think it affected the first legs because
• 37:37
  Speaker 2: I think both teams when we scored and then Atalanta Tide,
• 37:40
  Speaker 2: I think we're both like, okay, you know what, let's
• 37:42
  Speaker 2: just play each other in a month from now, which
• 37:44
  Speaker 2: it sucks because the guys at CBS Sports they spoke
• 37:49
  Speaker 2: about it. And I wouldn't be opposed to abolishing two
• 37:51
  Speaker 2: legs semi final because I think the first leg because
• 37:54
  Speaker 2: already copetally it's like a depending on who you ask, say,
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: it's not that important, right do you put two legs?
• 38:02
  Speaker 2: So some of these teams they're like, ah, you know whatever,
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: Like Inta, you saw they sat back, they rested a
• 38:08
  Speaker 2: couple of players at Chedaby was starting and you saw
• 38:11
  Speaker 2: that were like, you know what, why do I have
• 38:13
  Speaker 2: to try in two weeks in whatever, four weeks from
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: now we're gonna play Como again at the San Sito.
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: We'll just play them there, which I find it sucks.
• 38:21
  Speaker 2: And and to add further more to that, I think
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: the whole structure of Copitalia is garbage. I think we
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: should do like England Germany, where every team from Setia
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: all the way to SETI a D should start at
• 38:34
  Speaker 2: the beginning. There should be no preceding and whoever's lower
• 38:37
  Speaker 2: ranked should be the home team. It's not fair that
• 38:39
  Speaker 2: a Vanetsi has to travel to San Sito and play them.
• 38:42
  Speaker 2: I don't think that's fair. Uh, and I think it
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: would it would cause some upsets because if you notice,
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: it's like, uh, I saw stats like five years in
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: a row, a lot to make the quarterfinals. Well yeah,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: because we always started.
• 38:55
  Speaker 3: It sucks.
• 38:55
  Speaker 2: Yeah, And I think we're the only only country that
• 39:00
  Speaker 2: allows the first two divisions to play in the domestic Cup.
• 39:03
  Speaker 2: I think that's so ridiculous. You see beautiful stories like Wrexham,
• 39:08
  Speaker 2: that other team, Lincoln City or whatever. They got knocked
• 39:10
  Speaker 2: out by Arsenal on the weekend, but they made it
• 39:13
  Speaker 2: all the way to play a premier league team, like
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: it would be so cool to see an amateur side
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: face Milan, you know. And a couple of years ago
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: Bayern Munich got knocked out by an amateur side because
• 39:23
  Speaker 2: they had to travel to some village in Germany. That's
• 39:25
  Speaker 2: what it's about. And you give these these smaller teams
• 39:28
  Speaker 2: a chance. I'm honestly tired. I'm tired of always making
• 39:31
  Speaker 2: the semifinals because I don't even feel like we deserved it.
• 39:34
  Speaker 2: We only made the semifinals with Milan because yeah, we
• 39:37
  Speaker 2: both finished fifty and six, so that's why we get no.
• 39:40
  Speaker 2: I think it's it's ridiculous. So for me rambled on
• 39:44
  Speaker 2: a bit there, that's just a rant about how I
• 39:46
  Speaker 2: think Coopetalia they should just change that structure. I think
• 39:50
  Speaker 2: it would be more entertaining for all of us playing
• 39:53
  Speaker 2: like I don't know, like going to play Novara away
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: on a Tuesday night. I think that would be beautiful.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: But that's just my opinion on it.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: But to get back to the point, I I I like,
• 40:04
  Speaker 2: if we make the final, I'm telling you now, we
• 40:06
  Speaker 2: could play Real Madrid. It's a one off game, Olympic.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Anything can happen. You saw it last year, you know,
• 40:13
  Speaker 2: I thought you guys were gonna win the corp Italia
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: and Bologna props to them, fantastic. So a final is
• 40:20
  Speaker 2: a final. Anything can happen.
• 40:22
  Speaker 1: Totally agree. Uh. I don't know if you had any
• 40:25
  Speaker 1: any other last two questions because I didn't want to
• 40:27
  Speaker 1: talk about the Italian national team.
• 40:29
  Speaker 4: Uh yeah, just more like obviously, like we we kind
• 40:34
  Speaker 4: of broke it down what this season, what you kind
• 40:37
  Speaker 4: of expected, what it is currently, what it could potentially
• 40:41
  Speaker 4: end up being, you know, with with a potential cope
• 40:43
  Speaker 4: Italia win.
• 40:45
  Speaker 3: Uh and you know some silverware in Europe weak spot. Uh?
• 40:48
  Speaker 3: You know, what would what's next basically for for for Latcho.
• 40:52
  Speaker 4: Obviously you want to improve, you want to get better,
• 40:54
  Speaker 4: like with a Merkato now and who knows how much
• 40:57
  Speaker 4: is going to be able to spend?
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: Uh, you know in.
• 41:00
  Speaker 4: In the summer, Joe, what are the positions of need
• 41:04
  Speaker 4: in your in your eyes if you're playing you know, uh,
• 41:07
  Speaker 4: career mode GM here right, if you're if you're picking
• 41:10
  Speaker 4: calling the shots, what needs to be addressed? Uh? You
• 41:14
  Speaker 4: know this because again I know you said on paper
• 41:16
  Speaker 4: it's nothing special, but like I do fine, Lacho, have
• 41:20
  Speaker 4: you know decent players like you.
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: Know Mario Hila is a name that you know, like.
• 41:25
  Speaker 4: You said earlier, is underrated and I think there's a
• 41:28
  Speaker 4: lot of teams went after him. I know Milans went
• 41:29
  Speaker 4: after him. I would hope that they do sign him
• 41:31
  Speaker 4: to to to shore up that defense that is only
• 41:35
  Speaker 4: going to be better with you know, extra depth. You
• 41:38
  Speaker 4: know obviously Zigani's Zigani, I think you know love or
• 41:41
  Speaker 4: hate him? He's uh, he is you know a CETI.
• 41:44
  Speaker 3: Top player, you know.
• 41:47
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 41:47
  Speaker 4: If it wasn't for him, you know, we would be
• 41:49
  Speaker 4: seeing a different tune last style in twenty twenty four,
• 41:51
  Speaker 4: right the summer, right, So yeah, for for for for
• 41:56
  Speaker 4: a short time but still save him. So yeah, just
• 41:59
  Speaker 4: what what's your what do you want to see next
• 42:02
  Speaker 4: for Latcho and and where are the pieces that need
• 42:06
  Speaker 4: to be added to kind of make this squad. I
• 42:09
  Speaker 4: don't want to say relevant and be disrespectful, but relevant
• 42:12
  Speaker 4: enough to be in Europe and to compete on multiple levels.
• 42:17
  Speaker 2: I take no offense to what you said. You just
• 42:19
  Speaker 2: put it spot on. We're practically irrelevant this season and
• 42:24
  Speaker 2: before before. I just explained that to show how bad
• 42:28
  Speaker 2: the dip has been. Two years ago, we beat Bayern
• 42:30
  Speaker 2: Munich in the Champions League. We ended up losing the tie,
• 42:35
  Speaker 2: but that was another one of my proudest moments. Has
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: a lot so fun because to prove everybody wrong and
• 42:41
  Speaker 2: we were like the pinnacle of Setia. Everyone was glazing
• 42:43
  Speaker 2: us because I know that your intel got knocked out
• 42:45
  Speaker 2: by Letico, You've didn't even make it and whatever. So
• 42:49
  Speaker 2: we had all the spotlight two like we can't even
• 42:53
  Speaker 2: we're eleventh, but now tenth with the victory. So for
• 42:57
  Speaker 2: me to put into like NFL first overall, pick, I
• 43:01
  Speaker 2: think we need like a complete overhaul for me right now.
• 43:05
  Speaker 2: The goal I think is Lo Tito has to leave.
• 43:07
  Speaker 2: We need to find a way to get this guy out.
• 43:10
  Speaker 2: He's a cancer to this team. He's hurting people that
• 43:15
  Speaker 2: work all week to pay to buy tickets to watch
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: their team. You're hurting them. And what I don't understand
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: is we're not asking you for a player. Just leave.
• 43:25
  Speaker 2: That's it. So get rid of him. That's number one.
• 43:28
  Speaker 2: Get him out. Someone that wants to spend money. I
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: don't care who it is. And personally, I think defensively,
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: I know it's crazy to say because we've been bad,
• 43:37
  Speaker 2: but the reason why I think we've been bad is
• 43:40
  Speaker 2: because we don't score. Like we literally are so bad
• 43:44
  Speaker 2: an attack, and there's only so much a defense could
• 43:46
  Speaker 2: do because you can have a top defense and you
• 43:48
  Speaker 2: still concede. It's only it's only natural. So for me,
• 43:51
  Speaker 2: it's the offense, you know, like like last year our
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: top scorer was a thirty seven year old Pedro, Like
• 43:55
  Speaker 2: that's a problem. That's a big problem. When we were
• 43:59
  Speaker 2: playing with injuries, with Zakhani this there was a point
• 44:03
  Speaker 2: last year it's like every game Baroni would just look
• 44:07
  Speaker 2: and he's like, okay, well let's throw Pedro and a strike.
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: It's not normal. It's not normal that you're relying on
• 44:12
  Speaker 2: this guy. The guy is you look at him. There
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: was a point where were playing him ninety minutes a game.
• 44:16
  Speaker 2: He was exhausted, Like this guy's supposed to come on
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: deck a couple of guys. He's supposed to be a
• 44:21
  Speaker 2: super sub. This guy's not supposed to rely on us.
• 44:23
  Speaker 2: I felt so bad for him, The poor guy. He
• 44:26
  Speaker 2: probably he's nearing the end of his career, starts study
• 44:29
  Speaker 2: career one, everything there has to win. We're treating him
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: like we're relying on telling him like, yeah, you have
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: to do something.
• 44:34
  Speaker 3: Yo.
• 44:34
  Speaker 2: We got guys that are in their prime, young and healthy,
• 44:38
  Speaker 2: twenty seven years old. Why don't you tell those guys, oh,
• 44:40
  Speaker 2: like let's go wait, like exactly offensively horrible. We are
• 44:45
  Speaker 2: just so bad. It's like we can't even create anything.
• 44:48
  Speaker 2: It's not even that. It's not even like a Milan
• 44:51
  Speaker 2: where you guys have big chances and you miss, Like
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: we can't even create nothing. It's so abysmal the way
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: it is. And it goes to show why Kataldis are
• 44:59
  Speaker 2: tot score because the guy he's doing everything or talking about,
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: Danilo Kataldi, you are a thirty two year old, like
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: he's just a guy. Like he's going to be forgotten.
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: He's not.
• 45:10
  Speaker 2: He's nothing and I love him to death.
• 45:12
  Speaker 3: He's injured out too, Is that is that right? Or no?
• 45:14
  Speaker 2: Yeah? Yeah, he came off. That's another thing.
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: Yeah, he came off.
• 45:17
  Speaker 2: He came off against a swallow. We have nobody. We
• 45:20
  Speaker 2: had to put Patrick who's a center back, and we
• 45:22
  Speaker 2: played him at defensive welf but he actually did good.
• 45:25
  Speaker 2: But for me, I think midfield were good. We picked
• 45:29
  Speaker 2: up Kenneth Taylor from IAX. I think he's been absolutely fantasting. Yeah,
• 45:34
  Speaker 2: I love him him is he's been good with Katali
• 45:37
  Speaker 2: And honestly, I know we're making jokes, but I even Katali,
• 45:40
  Speaker 2: I think it's fantastic novel. It's unfortunate the guy he is, like, yeah.
• 45:44
  Speaker 3: It's a shame he's I forget him, man, what's the
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: what's his deal?
• 45:47
  Speaker 2: We started We started him against the Atalanta, first start
• 45:51
  Speaker 2: since like September of twenty twenty something. Yeah, and he
• 45:55
  Speaker 2: came on, he gets subbed off and now he's out again,
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: and definitely like the guy, it sucks too. And we
• 46:02
  Speaker 2: spoke about it on the other one, the other the
• 46:05
  Speaker 2: melan Pod, and they were saying, well before we get
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: into the Adzui. They were saying, like, we would actually
• 46:09
  Speaker 2: love to see Rovela and the Adzui squad. They think
• 46:12
  Speaker 2: that brings a good energy and I think so too.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: But the guy is I don't know what that I'm
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: trying to think of that what they would call a
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: guy like he's made out of glass or paper or whatever. Yeah,
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: so besides him, we've been playing this Moroccan guy Belayan,
• 46:29
  Speaker 2: who I mean, he's okay. Basis obviously had his like
• 46:34
  Speaker 2: rise and whatever, but now we've been sticking with Obviously
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: when you saw it before on the screen, he was
• 46:39
  Speaker 2: the one that got the goal. Uh, it's a bit
• 46:42
  Speaker 2: weird for him because he's an he's very more of
• 46:45
  Speaker 2: like an out and out ten and sad. He's playing
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: him as a box two box, so he's learning. So,
• 46:50
  Speaker 2: like I said, defensively, I think we're okay. I'm happy
• 46:54
  Speaker 2: unless we get rid of Mario Hilla. I think then
• 46:56
  Speaker 2: we're cooked goalkeeper wise. If like you said before, bamandas
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: if we call him back or Provadel if he comes
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: back injury, I think we're fine. For me, it's it's attack.
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: We need a striker.
• 47:08
  Speaker 3: I like.
• 47:08
  Speaker 2: I like Maldini. Don't get me wrong, but like we
• 47:11
  Speaker 2: need to get like consistent wingers, like you need a
• 47:14
  Speaker 2: proper night. Yeah yeah, like like we don't have any mobile,
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: like we Every team has that guy, you know, he's
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: the guy that he's gonna score or whatever. You know,
• 47:24
  Speaker 2: even a guy like Berardi that Sasolo have a guy,
• 47:28
  Speaker 2: and I think za Khanyi is that too, but he's
• 47:31
  Speaker 2: not a stat guy like I think Za Khanyia affects
• 47:34
  Speaker 2: the games, even Maldini without scoring or assisting, which is cool,
• 47:37
  Speaker 2: But I want a guy for me. Canchieri. Uh, I
• 47:41
  Speaker 2: think I've I said he needs more time. I think
• 47:45
  Speaker 2: I've given him too much. I think now at this
• 47:47
  Speaker 2: point for me, he's a bit of a diva diving
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: this that he's aggressive, but even his accent too way
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: too inconsistent. You're talking about guys that you know every
• 47:58
  Speaker 2: once in a while, they're like, oh I scored the
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: screamer goal. Yeah, but you don't watch him every week.
• 48:03
  Speaker 2: Percent of the time the guy's missing it and then
• 48:05
  Speaker 2: he'll score a bar down goal against Napoli. But it's
• 48:08
  Speaker 2: it's consistency. That's what it comes down to, and that's
• 48:11
  Speaker 2: that's what separates us from you guys. You guys are consistent.
• 48:15
  Speaker 2: I know, I know, uh Milan Pod guys were telling
• 48:19
  Speaker 2: me that full Crew guy or I remember who it is,
• 48:21
  Speaker 2: but you have like one striker goal all year. But yeah,
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: you're still second place. It's thanks to guys like a
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: stupin Yon that came in any big moments and big grays. Also,
• 48:31
  Speaker 2: I was gonna say, I mentioned before Rabbio and that's
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: what I mean. That's what I mean by sign a
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: guy that they know, Like look at Alegri the guy
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: he loved Rabbio Bakayuva, so you know what he's gonna
• 48:40
  Speaker 2: do is gonna go get him. Sari wanted to do
• 48:44
  Speaker 2: the same thing him and Loft his cheek. They have
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: a very good relationship at Chelsea. Obviously they want the
• 48:49
  Speaker 2: Europa League together over there. But it comes down to,
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: like I said before, it's low Tito money. The guy
• 48:55
  Speaker 2: does not want to I would take Loft his cheek
• 48:58
  Speaker 2: and a heart beat. I would take any player that
• 49:01
  Speaker 2: sad he liked that Chelsea just let him do what
• 49:03
  Speaker 2: he wants. The guy knows what he's doing, you know,
• 49:07
  Speaker 2: Like you said about the money thing, Like okay, at school.
• 49:11
  Speaker 2: You know, we're always net positive, but I'm sorry. You know,
• 49:15
  Speaker 2: if we're not getting the results, it actually affects your
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: pockets too, because you know, when you get Europe, you
• 49:20
  Speaker 2: know much extra money you get just for advancing, like
• 49:23
  Speaker 2: of course I understand, but.
• 49:26
  Speaker 1: Even just like conference league, even just winning conference.
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: Exactly and exactly just.
• 49:32
  Speaker 1: That's the bottom line that yeah, Lato.
• 49:35
  Speaker 2: For me, I'm sorry, we're I'm not saying we're Scudetto
• 49:37
  Speaker 2: contenders by any means. If we do sure contend for
• 49:39
  Speaker 2: the Scudetto in the future, that's like, uh to find
• 49:43
  Speaker 2: the odds. But I'm sorry. We are a team that
• 49:46
  Speaker 2: we have to be fighting for Champions League every year.
• 49:48
  Speaker 2: We have to be Europa League Conference League. So for me,
• 49:51
  Speaker 2: it comes down to that overhaul wise and hopefully and
• 49:56
  Speaker 2: I would sell a couple couple of players, you know,
• 49:58
  Speaker 2: like I think Tito as much as I on him
• 50:00
  Speaker 2: selling Tati and Gendozzi for sixty million combined. I made
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: a video on it. I'm like, this was a fleece
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: sixty million for these two guys that I love. Genduzzi,
• 50:10
  Speaker 2: but he's replaceable, I'm sorry to say it.
• 50:12
  Speaker 3: Even Tatis for Costano's big teah.
• 50:15
  Speaker 2: Way so inconsistent. But we have so many guys you
• 50:19
  Speaker 2: don't understand, Like on the payroll. Belayan his sigh like
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: he's Sai is still on our roster. Get rid of
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: these guys. So many like garbage, so many players collecting
• 50:30
  Speaker 2: a paycheck. I said that about Bassage, but now for
• 50:32
  Speaker 2: some reason he decided to turn up. But you know
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: that's what I would do, like I said Lotito number one.
• 50:38
  Speaker 2: But offense, like our offense is abysmal. In January, actually,
• 50:43
  Speaker 2: when there was literally like a two week window where
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: we sold Tati, Nosln was injured, we didn't sign Maldin
• 50:49
  Speaker 2: yet and Dia was at Afcon with Senegal. We didn't
• 50:52
  Speaker 2: even have a licensed striker on our roster. We were
• 50:57
  Speaker 2: playing Pedro every week. I was like, this is wow,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: Like how are you a professional football team and you
• 51:02
  Speaker 2: can't figure this out? Like how are you dis understoff?
• 51:04
  Speaker 2: So for me, like I said, Tito, and offense is abysmal,
• 51:09
  Speaker 2: So that's what I would do.
• 51:12
  Speaker 1: At least at least you have a country that's in
• 51:14
  Speaker 1: the World Cup, right Rabia. Never mind, we still got
• 51:17
  Speaker 1: to qualify for so.
• 51:21
  Speaker 3: Support because we got we got ripped when.
• 51:24
  Speaker 2: We saw, Oh my god, that we're gonna get into that.
• 51:28
  Speaker 1: No, it's like you're you're going through all this as
• 51:32
  Speaker 1: a lot of hand. It's like, I know, I complained
• 51:34
  Speaker 1: as you've a fan, I know, g you know, complains
• 51:37
  Speaker 1: as a Melin fan. Now that Jaan's pretty chill, you know,
• 51:40
  Speaker 1: like he's not a big complainer on the podcast. Let's
• 51:42
  Speaker 1: be real. He's a he's a he's a good seam.
• 51:45
  Speaker 4: He has two teams to cheer for us, we're stuck
• 51:48
  Speaker 4: with one, so he has double the odds of doing something.
• 51:52
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but no joking aside, Yeah, you're right.
• 51:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, after all the you know with the season that
• 51:58
  Speaker 1: it must be frustrated, especially you know, this is team
• 52:00
  Speaker 1: that hasn't won. I always forget it. Ninety thousand.
• 52:04
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I wasn't even I wasn't even a fun You
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: weren't even My parents didn't even get married yet, they
• 52:10
  Speaker 2: weren't even nothing. That's all. That's how long ago it
• 52:14
  Speaker 2: was today horrible. Yeah, just my god. But I you
• 52:22
  Speaker 2: know what, social media wise, it's been very good for
• 52:25
  Speaker 2: me because I get more views when people see me complain.
• 52:28
  Speaker 2: They love to see suffer so negatively. So I would
• 52:31
  Speaker 2: say the same thing for Italy.
• 52:32
  Speaker 1: By the way, Uh no, we we we did pretty
• 52:35
  Speaker 1: well that summer of twenty one.
• 52:37
  Speaker 3: Ye.
• 52:38
  Speaker 4: But no matter what it is, like when it's a
• 52:40
  Speaker 4: Zudie time, the numbers go up regard Yeah.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: And I mean I think we're just gonna tell them.
• 52:46
  Speaker 2: I guess, like for people that don't know you're listening,
• 52:49
  Speaker 2: we're gonna have I'm gonna have the cultural guys over,
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: we're gonna we're gonna do a nice live stream and uh,
• 52:56
  Speaker 2: like Drano said, the the numbers when it's the it's
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: like a low key like it sounds a bit bad.
• 53:02
  Speaker 2: But I was kind of happy that we made the
• 53:04
  Speaker 2: playoffs instead of automatic qualification because it's gonna be sick
• 53:08
  Speaker 2: to suffer with you guys, Like if you guys weren't
• 53:11
  Speaker 2: following my page before, we did a little watch party
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: for just Estonia, and I thought it was a blast.
• 53:17
  Speaker 2: I love chilling with you guys, like yeah, and it
• 53:20
  Speaker 2: was nice to even though it was Estonia, it was
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: nice to watch it with you guys and like suffer together,
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: you know.
• 53:25
  Speaker 3: Yeah.
• 53:25
  Speaker 1: Yeah, So hopefully hopefully we don't suffer.
• 53:29
  Speaker 2: Yeah, no, not this time.
• 53:30
  Speaker 1: I think that I don't yeah, what do you what
• 53:33
  Speaker 1: do you expect for the game? What do you want
• 53:34
  Speaker 1: to see from the Zui? Obviously the win, you know,
• 53:37
  Speaker 1: win's most important thing. But I don't even in terms
• 53:40
  Speaker 1: of like call ups and all that, Like you know,
• 53:42
  Speaker 1: there's rumors. There was rumors for Ratty until he got
• 53:44
  Speaker 1: heard Georgino now apparently too, Like, yeah, there's so many possibilities.
• 53:48
  Speaker 1: I don't know what what do you what do you
• 53:49
  Speaker 1: expect to see into it in two weeks time?
• 53:53
  Speaker 2: Simply put, I don't even care if they have to
• 53:56
  Speaker 2: call up like Zaza, I don't care who it is.
• 53:59
  Speaker 3: Bro, I know you were young.
• 54:02
  Speaker 1: Ione say I saw someone mentioned like what I.
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: Said that, I said that, no, but jokes aside, though
• 54:10
  Speaker 2: to be serious, like and this is crazy because I'm
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: a lot too fun, but I would honestly call up Zaniolo.
• 54:15
  Speaker 2: I think that guy's been fantastic this season, and I
• 54:18
  Speaker 2: think you should reward Like the other national teams, it's
• 54:21
  Speaker 2: I feel like the problem with us is we we
• 54:24
  Speaker 2: we we rely on our old players. Why don't you
• 54:26
  Speaker 2: reward the guys that are doing well, so guys like Zaniolo,
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: and I mean it might be a bit of bias,
• 54:32
  Speaker 2: but I wouldn't mind calling up Maldini. I think he's
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: been he's been good enough. But for me, I think
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: the main guys you got to rely on Let's be real,
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: Keen and Retegui. I think, are you know Let's be
• 54:44
  Speaker 2: real are probably our best guys. I think that's the
• 54:47
  Speaker 2: best we can do in terms of call ups. And
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: I think we should utilize the three five two because
• 54:52
  Speaker 2: there was times where he would play a four back.
• 54:54
  Speaker 2: And for me, DiMarco the guy is like, he's one
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: of the best wing backs we know, like full backs
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: in the league, but I ga, I cannot defend like
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: he's Yeah, he's a horrible in a four back. You
• 55:03
  Speaker 2: gotta to play him in a three back formation. I
• 55:05
  Speaker 2: think three five two suits us the best or maybe
• 55:07
  Speaker 2: at three four to two one two. I don't care
• 55:12
  Speaker 2: that battle has been horrible this season. It's battle of
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: Tonale minimum Like Tonale is probably our best player ability wise,
• 55:18
  Speaker 2: I think Tonale's like that guy. So but just to
• 55:23
  Speaker 2: simply put, just to to cut this opinion short, I
• 55:26
  Speaker 2: don't care who scores. I don't care who we call up.
• 55:30
  Speaker 2: I won't be mad when they come out and we
• 55:32
  Speaker 2: talk about it. As long as we go through, that's
• 55:34
  Speaker 2: all I care about.
• 55:36
  Speaker 3: Yeah, no, I mean I think we both agree on that.
• 55:38
  Speaker 4: I know Johnny's not here tonight, but he would probably
• 55:39
  Speaker 4: feel the same sentiments. The only thing that kind of
• 55:43
  Speaker 4: pisses me off about like not pisses me off, but
• 55:45
  Speaker 4: like I told Nick earlier, and the guys like like
• 55:48
  Speaker 4: Georginio really like I didn't I didn't mind, but like Georgino,
• 55:52
  Speaker 4: like I don't know.
• 55:53
  Speaker 2: Like we're done bad. That's what it is.
• 55:55
  Speaker 4: And it's sad, right because I said a couple of
• 55:57
  Speaker 4: weeks ago, like, uh, it was it with John Marco.
• 56:00
  Speaker 4: I think we had our inter fan you know, I
• 56:04
  Speaker 4: don't want to see a Chad be back on the squad.
• 56:05
  Speaker 4: I don't want to see these guys, these old these
• 56:07
  Speaker 4: old guard Like we said it back in when do
• 56:10
  Speaker 4: we say, Nick, like back in what the euro like
• 56:12
  Speaker 4: after the euros or whatever, like yeah, old like we
• 56:15
  Speaker 4: don't want to see the old guard anymore.
• 56:16
  Speaker 1: We have the THEMS is the reason why they missed
• 56:21
  Speaker 1: the World Cup in twenty twenty two.
• 56:22
  Speaker 4: Yeah, and then that's that's exactly I want you to
• 56:24
  Speaker 4: say that, Like I wanted you to say that because
• 56:25
  Speaker 4: you know it's it's it's the truth, right, like, like
• 56:28
  Speaker 4: it's enough, Like listen, I know it's a playoff. I know,
• 56:30
  Speaker 4: we just have to get into the tournament. And we
• 56:32
  Speaker 4: all know Italy in a tournament is a different is
• 56:35
  Speaker 4: a different beast, So we just have.
• 56:36
  Speaker 2: To get in. We're good. I'm not worried. I'm worried
• 56:39
  Speaker 2: about the qualifiers.
• 56:40
  Speaker 4: Yeah, that's been that's been our kryptonite, right, like the
• 56:43
  Speaker 4: last the last couple of tournaments, right, it's getting into
• 56:46
  Speaker 4: the fucking thing, Like we need to get in there.
• 56:48
  Speaker 4: Once we're in, it's a different story. Like like we
• 56:51
  Speaker 4: know what Italy is in the tournament. If we do
• 56:53
  Speaker 4: good or we do bad, we just get into the tournament.
• 56:56
  Speaker 4: So on that aspect, actually I do agree with you.
• 56:59
  Speaker 4: You know, however it comes if it comes off ahead
• 57:02
  Speaker 4: off a foot off an ass back, bro, I don't.
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: Care celebrating Northern Ireland like it's front I don't.
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: Think exactly exactly right. So for that aspect, I totally agree.
• 57:12
  Speaker 3: I just don't want to see this gatuzo panic.
• 57:16
  Speaker 4: Bring back some old guard for experience, but it's not
• 57:19
  Speaker 4: gonna serve us well, and we're gonna be back in
• 57:22
  Speaker 4: the same fucking predicament as we have been for the
• 57:24
  Speaker 4: last two tournaments. That's the thing that kind of gets
• 57:27
  Speaker 4: to me, Listen, do we need some experience on this team?
• 57:31
  Speaker 4: Because we had Lucas Scott uh you know last week
• 57:34
  Speaker 4: from tas in six ninety uh and and he said it, listen, like,
• 57:38
  Speaker 4: who's the leader right on this on this squad? And
• 57:41
  Speaker 4: again I have I have, yeah, but I have to
• 57:43
  Speaker 4: give it to him, you know, yeah, to nowly and
• 57:46
  Speaker 4: I love to now don't get me wrong as a Milanista,
• 57:49
  Speaker 4: but I don't know, like we don't have that. And
• 57:53
  Speaker 4: to use his words, you know, the Bonucci's, the Kilini's,
• 57:56
  Speaker 4: you know, the Florenzi's, you know, you know those those
• 57:59
  Speaker 4: types of players, right, and and it shows, right, it
• 58:03
  Speaker 4: shows with with with our squad that you know, we
• 58:05
  Speaker 4: might be you know good and from our aspect, from
• 58:09
  Speaker 4: our point of view, we have good players, and I
• 58:11
  Speaker 4: think we do have a good squad, but you know
• 58:15
  Speaker 4: we're we're fragile when it when it when it matters most.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: So and yeah, and it's that you know what I mean.
• 58:25
  Speaker 4: Yeah exactly, And now we're we're struggling to even qualify
• 58:29
  Speaker 4: bro against fucking you know if it be Sweden and
• 58:31
  Speaker 4: North Macedonia. Now it's Northern Ireland and potentially what is
• 58:35
  Speaker 4: it Whales or bos.
• 58:38
  Speaker 2: That gnorries me more because there we're going to be
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: playing away at home against.
• 58:42
  Speaker 1: I'm sorry, but that's bullshit. Like Italy was ranked as
• 58:46
  Speaker 1: the number one team in the in this little bracket,
• 58:49
  Speaker 1: well that's like match, But why it was a draw?
• 58:55
  Speaker 1: Like why like I don't understand they they were the
• 58:58
  Speaker 1: best ranked, the best ranked team. Go await potentially sorry
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: sorry sorry, no, Nick, go ahead. You were saying, yeah
• 59:07
  Speaker 1: for the second game if they get there, this game
• 59:11
  Speaker 1: against Northern Ireland at home, and if it was a Newlan,
• 59:14
  Speaker 1: I would have.
• 59:14
  Speaker 3: Said no, no, no, if it's a.
• 59:20
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's true, it's blood.
• 59:22
  Speaker 1: Yeah yeah, never mind. I think they'll squeak away a
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: wain like a nice one. Nothing to not think three
• 59:28
  Speaker 1: to one win something like that, you know, sure, but
• 59:31
  Speaker 1: for sure the second second game, especially if they have
• 59:34
  Speaker 1: to play away in a hostile environment let's say like
• 59:36
  Speaker 1: Bosnia or even Wales. I know, Wales, not Wales.
• 59:40
  Speaker 2: Ten years tough man, Yeah that's.
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: This is a Welsh team that Canada beat and in
• 59:46
  Speaker 1: in Cardiff that's true. So this is not the same
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: Whales team from ten years ago, but there's still It's
• 59:53
  Speaker 1: regardless of who it is, whether it's Northern Ireland, Wales,
• 59:56
  Speaker 1: or Bosnia or Hertzegovina, you know it's gonna be tough.
• 1:00:00
  Speaker 1: It'ly has to go out play hard for one hundred
• 1:00:03
  Speaker 1: and eighty minutes. But what I'm worried it's the mentality
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 1: of these players. I think it's fragile. I think we've
• 1:00:10
  Speaker 1: seen it in the qualifiers, whether it was the twenty
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 1: twenty two qualifiers or these ones. They're nervous. When they
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 1: have an opportunity to gain points, they lose them. These
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 1: big matches and then games against Norway, the games against
• 1:00:22
  Speaker 1: Switzerland from twenty twenty well technically twenty twenty one. They're
• 1:00:26
  Speaker 1: nervous and it's almost as if it's in their head.
• 1:00:30
  Speaker 1: But hopefully three times a charm and hopefully at this
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 1: point it's like they need to get it. They can't
• 1:00:34
  Speaker 1: go sixteen years without a World Cup.
• 1:00:36
  Speaker 2: Well, bro, it's not points too. I was gonna say
• 1:00:40
  Speaker 2: one thing that maybe helps us a bit. There's no point.
• 1:00:43
  Speaker 2: There's no like, okay, if we have to score minus
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 2: two sect the standings.
• 1:00:46
  Speaker 3: There's no standing goals.
• 1:00:49
  Speaker 2: Yeah, oh I no, I agree, Oh my god, but no, you're.
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: You're right right, it's it's it's win and goal and continue,
• 1:00:57
  Speaker 4: so that it's the biggesting no, And I totally agree.
• 1:01:01
  Speaker 4: And just back to the call up thing and like
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 4: the lineup and whatnot, like I think we've said it
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: in the past currently, like it's all to play for,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: even for these players trying to get onto the squad
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 4: because there's very few locks in my opinion starting why
• 1:01:14
  Speaker 4: not besides between the sticks and they're probably gonna say,
• 1:01:20
  Speaker 4: you know, DiMarco and a Bastoni and and and whatnot. Yeah,
• 1:01:25
  Speaker 4: color Fiordy too, right, Like, there's very very few locks,
• 1:01:28
  Speaker 4: you know, I find in this in this squad, and
• 1:01:30
  Speaker 4: there's there's there's positions to be had. And listen, I
• 1:01:34
  Speaker 4: said earlier, I don't want to see the panic button.
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 4: All we have to call up you know, old players
• 1:01:40
  Speaker 4: to to help us qualify, Like I still want to
• 1:01:43
  Speaker 4: see Gatuzzo make the right decisions and and you know,
• 1:01:48
  Speaker 4: bring guys like you said earlier, both of you, you know,
• 1:01:51
  Speaker 4: players that merit you know, being there, right, Like, why
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 4: not now we need to Now we need yea, why
• 1:01:58
  Speaker 4: not bring the guys that are on exactly, And I
• 1:02:01
  Speaker 4: remember Nick vividly saying this in twenty twenty for the
• 1:02:04
  Speaker 4: euro in twenty twenty one.
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 3: You know, forget the name, bring the guy who's hot.
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 4: At the moment. You saw Baddy was hot. You saw
• 1:02:11
  Speaker 4: a look at how he was hot. What happened in
• 1:02:13
  Speaker 4: those opening games they produced for freely? Was it a
• 1:02:16
  Speaker 4: short run? Sure, but they produced for their time. Yeah,
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 4: for the national need And that's all exactly, That's all
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 4: you need.
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: That's my point, Like, who cares if varriority is not
• 1:02:25
  Speaker 1: you know, a legend of the game he produced at
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: the Euros at that time. He was hot at the time.
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: You know, even if you look back at some of
• 1:02:34
  Speaker 1: those names, even like a guy like a Chairby, like
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: he's not going to go down as one of the
• 1:02:38
  Speaker 1: best defenders in in you know, Italian football, but he was.
• 1:02:43
  Speaker 1: He was playing really well at that time, and he
• 1:02:45
  Speaker 1: was kind of having a second resurgence, resurgence in his career.
• 1:02:48
  Speaker 1: And he goes on, Okay, I understood what. You know.
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: He didn't start every game, he didn't have the same
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: impact that Kleeene and Buonunci had, but he served a purpose.
• 1:02:57
  Speaker 3: He did, and ye you.
• 1:02:58
  Speaker 1: Know even heck, you want to go back to six
• 1:03:00
  Speaker 1: throwing Fabio Grosso's name, Bro, this guy did nothing outside
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: of the World Cup. He got hot for two games.
• 1:03:05
  Speaker 1: That's all we needed.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 3: And we're still celebrated today right now.
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 2: So that's it, right, And how that matters is the
• 1:03:11
  Speaker 2: start we got to start.
• 1:03:13
  Speaker 4: Yeah, we still we still talk about it today, right,
• 1:03:16
  Speaker 4: So listen, I hope he makes the right calls, like
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 4: I want to see the guys that deserve to be there.
• 1:03:21
  Speaker 4: And I know Spietti had said it when he was
• 1:03:23
  Speaker 4: coached merit based call ops, he didn't really abide by that,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 4: and obviously he watched the job, watched the job out
• 1:03:29
  Speaker 4: of it. Gatuso, I love him to death, you know,
• 1:03:32
  Speaker 4: being a Melan fan. Obviously, Again, I hope he does
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 4: make those right calls. And because I don't see why,
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 4: why don't you call it Marco Plesta right the guy
• 1:03:43
  Speaker 4: is fucking doing yeah right now, right, like we need that.
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 3: We need that that that that youth and depth, you.
• 1:03:49
  Speaker 4: Know, and creative spark on the you know, the wing
• 1:03:52
  Speaker 4: the wing back position. Besides a guy like DiMarco, right,
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 4: so you know, even a Coyote. You know he plays abroad,
• 1:03:58
  Speaker 4: you know, you know Calafiordi like you men, Simiadoe, who's
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 4: doing well. I think he got a bit of a knock,
• 1:04:03
  Speaker 4: but I heard he might be all right.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: That's another thing too, it's the injury thing, you know.
• 1:04:08
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so listen it works.
• 1:04:10
  Speaker 4: By the time this airs will be two weeks away,
• 1:04:12
  Speaker 4: right officially from from that match mark March twenty sixth
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 4: against Northern Ireland in bet Gambo. Uh.
• 1:04:19
  Speaker 3: You know it's so we're obviously pumped. I don't know how.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: It's gonna Yeah, me too, because you said I'm nervous excited,
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: but like anxiety. Oh my god.

  Speaker 2: weekly gonna Yeah, it's gonna be a blast on the stream.
• 1:05:03
  Speaker 2: It always is. But uh, I just realized, like since
• 1:05:07
  Speaker 2: I've started social media, I've never When I started, it
• 1:05:11
  Speaker 2: was late twenty twenty two, so it was actually after
• 1:05:13
  Speaker 2: we failed against North Macedonia. So I've actually never had
• 1:05:16
  Speaker 2: like a I guess you could say like a big
• 1:05:19
  Speaker 2: hot stream in a very intense way for Italy people.
• 1:05:25
  Speaker 2: You're not gonna understand the people that see my streams,
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: and it's going to be crazy.
• 1:05:28
  Speaker 1: The last, the last, the last time Italy was in
• 1:05:30
  Speaker 1: a World Cup. I was just finishing up high school
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 1: and I'm gonna be thirty this year, and I.
• 1:05:34

  Speaker 3: Yeah yeah, bro, this is what we need.
• 1:06:14
  Speaker 1: We need Italy back in a World Cup.
• 1:06:16
  Speaker 4: I know because twenty twenty one, twenty twenty one gradual again,
• 1:06:19
  Speaker 4: I know it's a euro and I know we didn't
• 1:06:22
  Speaker 4: probably I don't know, we didn't really know each other
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 4: by at that point.
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 3: Maybe maybe we run into you in one.
• 1:06:28
  Speaker 2: Of these kind maybe crazy social media. I was just
• 1:06:31
  Speaker 2: kind of like I was like nineteen years old, just
• 1:06:34
  Speaker 2: you know, yeah, messing around. It was the craziest. Yeah,
• 1:06:37
  Speaker 2: it was the craziest thing though, like and imagine and
• 1:06:41
  Speaker 2: I thought that I thought the celebrations we should have
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 2: done more. I felt like I got gone later, I
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 2: was like smashed, hammered and then I want to go
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 2: play a Total Campo game at night. But I felt like,
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 2: because it's not a World Cup, I feel like the
• 1:06:53
  Speaker 2: celebrations are going to be higher if.
• 1:06:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, but that's what I told the guys right after.
• 1:06:57
  Speaker 1: It's like almost have something's missing, Like we just need
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 1: the World Cup again. The World Cup is it's the
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 1: World Cup. It's I know, it's maybe a false equivalent
• 1:07:07
  Speaker 1: Sebol World Cup. It's like winning the Champions League, Euros.
• 1:07:10
  Speaker 1: It's like winning either of this. You know, you could
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 1: say it's like winning the city. Yeah, but I wouldn't
• 1:07:15
  Speaker 1: say Qutealia No, no, no, no, no. Higher level World Cup
• 1:07:18
  Speaker 1: it's not the same as like a champions.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 3: The World Cup trumps at all, Bro.
• 1:07:22
  Speaker 4: It's the biggest, it's the biggest sporting event in the world,
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 4: the most eyes, the thing that everybody walk wakes up for, casuals,
• 1:07:29
