- 0:30Speaker 1: the Colcho guys. But guys, I did want to start
- 0:34Speaker 1: the episode with this. It hits home. It's a friend
- 0:37Speaker 1: of the show Rock with Placentino, president of the new
- 0:41Speaker 1: CPL Canadian Premier League team right here in Montreal, technically
- 0:44Speaker 1: Laval FC, Souperros U Quebec. Now it's just tonight huge news.
- 0:49Speaker 1: You know what for local soccer. The CPL has been
- 0:52Speaker 1: the league I think twenty nineteen they started playing. They
- 0:57Speaker 1: have eight teams across Canada, a real development league for
- 1:01Speaker 1: young Canadian players that have developed, even players who have
- 1:03Speaker 1: played in the last World Cup, like Joel Watermon Joel Waterman,
- 1:06Speaker 1: former CF Montreal player. You know so, yeah, I get it.
- 1:10Speaker 1: This is the second division league, but it's a pretty
- 1:13Speaker 1: decent league. FC Forge top team in the league have
- 1:16Speaker 1: beat h MLS teams in the Canadian Championship, so this
- 1:21Speaker 1: is exciting. This is something we had rock go on
- 1:23Speaker 1: last year when before CS Saint Laurent played against Toronto
- 1:27Speaker 1: FC in the Canadian Championship and he said he talked
- 1:30Speaker 1: to us he wanted that uh CPL team right here
- 1:33Speaker 1: in Quebec and he got it, and he spoke about
- 1:36Speaker 1: it at the press conference tonight. He said he's been
- 1:38Speaker 1: working for this a few years. He mentioned his friend
- 1:42Speaker 1: Jason Detulio, who sadly passed away a couple of years ago,
- 1:44Speaker 1: a couple of times in the press conference. It just
- 1:46Speaker 1: it's just one of those one of those teams. It
- 1:48Speaker 1: really feels local. Like I know, guys, we have another
- 1:50Speaker 1: soccer team, we have an MLS team, but with the
- 1:53Speaker 1: way things have been going lately with that team, where
- 1:55Speaker 1: there's kind of like a disconnect between Matt you know,
- 1:57Speaker 1: the ownership and the fans, you know, the whole fiasco
- 2:00Speaker 1: with removing the impact name. It's good to get a
- 2:03Speaker 1: fresh start. Yes, if you want to go watch the
- 2:06Speaker 1: best soccer we have in the city, go watch Steff Montreal.
- 2:08Speaker 1: If you want that local field starting twenty twenty six,
- 2:11Speaker 1: you're gonna be able to go watch FC Super in
- 2:13Speaker 1: Quebec in Laval. Sorry, and what I like what they did. Also,
- 2:17Speaker 1: it's you know, it's a mon Trail based team playing
- 2:21Speaker 1: in Laval, but they win with the name that is
- 2:24Speaker 1: all of Quebec FC super e ji Quebec and it's
- 2:26Speaker 1: a throwback to the old Super Montreal team that played
- 2:29Speaker 1: between nineteen eighty eight in nineteen ninety two that dissolved
- 2:31Speaker 1: and became Montreal Impact. So it's it's a lot of
- 2:34Speaker 1: history right there. Beautiful colors and Adri their cousins with
- 2:38Speaker 1: Campo Basso, Matt Matt Rizsetta ownership of new ownership, so
- 2:43Speaker 1: it must be exciting for you to see that too.
- 2:45Speaker 1: This is a guy who's been very involved in grassroots soccer,
- 2:49Speaker 1: betwing Campo Basso and even I know he's friends with
- 2:51Speaker 1: the guys from my FTV and he just loves his stuff.
- 2:54Speaker 1: So it's it's cool to see. It seems like it
- 2:56Speaker 1: was very positive first, you know, press conference, a lot
- 2:59Speaker 1: of Italian, a Italian ownership, a lot of uh, it
- 3:04Speaker 1: seems like the management a lot of a lot of
- 3:06Speaker 1: Italian guys, so it's really local for us too.
- 3:09Speaker 3: I love it.
- 3:10Speaker 2: I mean, listen, it's it's exciting. I think it's a
- 3:13Speaker 2: it's a it's a new chapter, you know, uh kind of.
- 3:16Speaker 2: And I was listening to the to the livestream on
- 3:18Speaker 2: on One Soccer.
- 3:19Speaker 3: On YouTube and just uh.
- 3:22Speaker 2: I love we love to see Rocco in the forefront
- 3:24Speaker 2: there really showing his passion.
- 3:26Speaker 3: Uh. You know, he's he said to us, you.
- 3:29Speaker 2: Know, way back when, and he's he's been able to
- 3:31Speaker 2: deliver on that. You know, he called it a dream
- 3:33Speaker 2: and and now it becomes a reality, right to to
- 3:36Speaker 2: bring you know, a CPL team to to Quebec, and
- 3:39Speaker 2: you know we're behind it. We hope to maybe get
- 3:42Speaker 2: involved with it, uh in some fashion. We hope to
- 3:45Speaker 2: We hope to chat with with Rocco soon to maybe
- 3:47Speaker 2: get some more some more information and everything. But just
- 3:50Speaker 2: super excited. Couldn't have happened to uh, you know, a
- 3:54Speaker 2: better a better human being, uh, you know, getting to
- 3:57Speaker 2: meet him personally, getting too, to speak with him on
- 3:59Speaker 2: the pot cast. It's just uh, it's just it's exciting.
- 4:04Speaker 2: Obviously Matt Lizetta and uh and even angel Apasto, you know,
- 4:08Speaker 2: another local Montreal that's part of the Gumbo Basso, uh,
- 4:12Speaker 2: you know, ownership group and and kind of you know
- 4:16Speaker 2: coming home for for us. You know, uh, it's it's
- 4:19Speaker 2: it's cool. It's cool to be uh to see it.
- 4:23Speaker 2: I think you know, the CPL, I mean Quebec has
- 4:26Speaker 2: been has been raving for it. I think, you know,
- 4:29Speaker 2: kind of ironing out the really nitty gritty details, the
- 4:33Speaker 2: behind the scenes that you know, us fans and us
- 4:35Speaker 2: you know lovers of the sports kind of maybe don't
- 4:37Speaker 2: see uh finally airing you know, ironing on that and
- 4:41Speaker 2: and really putting like you know, like we said and
- 4:43Speaker 2: Rocco said, you know, a dream come to reality.
- 4:45Speaker 3: Is is exciting.
- 4:46Speaker 2: So you know they will be playing in Laval, you know,
- 4:51Speaker 2: start Boreal in Laval, and which is also the home
- 4:54Speaker 2: of Roses, the Roses Montreal team, right for the the
- 5:00Speaker 2: women's professional team.
- 5:01Speaker 3: So it's a it's a cool thing.
- 5:03Speaker 2: I think I saw its hosts around the you know,
- 5:05Speaker 2: five to six thousand seats, so listen intimate, but yet
- 5:09Speaker 2: you know, should hopefully have a full crowd. You know,
- 5:12Speaker 2: if it if we took anything from you know when
- 5:15Speaker 2: CS lurn was was was playing at a cot Robiard,
- 5:20Speaker 2: I mean it's you know, the passions there guys. You know,
- 5:24Speaker 2: the cultural community is here. You know, we speak about
- 5:27Speaker 2: it on on a on a different aspect, maybe not
- 5:30Speaker 2: always so local. We should always hit home as we can,
- 5:32Speaker 2: but the cultural fans are here, and I think, you know,
- 5:38Speaker 2: being able to to to now have you know, starting
- 5:41Speaker 2: in twenty twenty six a team in the CPL is
- 5:44Speaker 2: is is a step for you know, these young these
- 5:47Speaker 2: young Quebecers, right, these young Quebec born players to to
- 5:50Speaker 2: to show their their skills and it's another avenue. It's
- 5:52Speaker 2: another avenue for for them to to progress and and
- 5:54Speaker 2: hopefully become you know, the is Mile Conies of the world, right,
- 5:58Speaker 2: the Moises bomb Beatles of the world.
- 6:00Speaker 3: Right.
- 6:00Speaker 2: So we're excited, you know, listening to the press conference,
- 6:04Speaker 2: everybody involves seemed to be really passionate, which is which
- 6:09Speaker 2: is something you need. And obviously having that that grinta
- 6:12Speaker 2: right like uh, you know in in memory of age
- 6:16Speaker 2: in the Tulio. So listen, it's it's an exciting project.
- 6:20Speaker 2: Like I said, it's a it's a it's a passionate project.
- 6:22Speaker 2: And I think and if if things go on the
- 6:26Speaker 2: way that the press conferences was seeming to be. I mean,
- 6:29Speaker 2: this is a project that hopefully is going to last
- 6:32Speaker 2: for many years and uh with a lot of success.
- 6:34Speaker 3: So listen, we're behind it, and uh, you know, we
- 6:36Speaker 3: hope to uh we hope to see it kick off
- 6:39Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six.
- 6:40Speaker 4: And I think the best point that you made with
- 6:42Speaker 4: that Nick earlier is the fact that, like, especially with
- 6:45Speaker 4: the Saputos running.
- 6:48Speaker 5: Like running c F Montreal, it's like there is a
- 6:52Speaker 5: disconnect that's that has to be addressed because there was
- 6:55Speaker 5: a disconnect like that with Bologna. And now Bologna is
- 6:57Speaker 5: doing much better in city ah as they've started to
- 7:00Speaker 5: put all their focus on that. But the thing is,
- 7:03Speaker 5: now it feels like as if Montreal is being left behind,
- 7:06Speaker 5: and it feels like, you know, like I've mentioned before,
- 7:09Speaker 5: I've gone flat for it, but it's true. It just
- 7:12Speaker 5: feels like as if we're just the like I guess
- 7:14Speaker 5: it's MLS, but it just feels like we're developmentals, Like
- 7:16Speaker 5: we're not a team that's willing to have the drive
- 7:19Speaker 5: to compete. They feel like Bologna is mostly where the
- 7:22Speaker 5: attention is for the competition. So the fact that you
- 7:25Speaker 5: can have the supra here now it's gonna be fantastic
- 7:28Speaker 5: because obviously you said it best. We have a lot
- 7:32Speaker 5: of local connections to it, and especially the Italian Montreal community,
- 7:35Speaker 5: like third heigh ethnicity in Montreal.
- 7:39Speaker 4: It's like you give me look up the numbers.
- 7:41Speaker 5: The fact that we can have like people that are like,
- 7:43Speaker 5: you know, like they're they're they're from us, you know,
- 7:45Speaker 5: like that they're there trying to run the team. They
- 7:47Speaker 5: feel like as if they're going to do their best
- 7:48Speaker 5: to you know, really build up the local hype. And
- 7:51Speaker 5: the fact that it is a lower level of competition
- 7:55Speaker 5: plays in their benefit because you have more liberty, more
- 7:58Speaker 5: freedom to you know, to draw the attention and stuff
- 8:01Speaker 5: to people to your games.
- 8:02Speaker 1: You don't have to.
- 8:04Speaker 4: You don't have to like abide to like the rules
- 8:06Speaker 4: of a certain league.
- 8:07Speaker 5: You know, there are there's still a league that you
- 8:09Speaker 5: have the rules to buy to, but I mean, like
- 8:10Speaker 5: it's not it's it's just it's the Canadian Premier League,
- 8:13Speaker 5: you know.
- 8:14Speaker 4: So great weight also help develop local talent.
- 8:17Speaker 5: Also a good addition because like we got the Montreal
- 8:20Speaker 5: Roses which is the women's professional team now, and we
- 8:22Speaker 5: have the we have the Montreal Impact and now we
- 8:24Speaker 5: have Montreal Super which is get sorry Super up Quebec.
- 8:26Speaker 5: Like it's it's great because you're gonna have all three
- 8:29Speaker 5: competitions as a Montreal team. So the summers here, you know,
- 8:32Speaker 5: if you're a big if you're a big soccer fan,
- 8:34Speaker 5: you'll be able to go watch a bunch of games
- 8:35Speaker 5: at the same time if you want.
- 8:37Speaker 4: You know, it's probably like like a little pass or something.
- 8:39Speaker 5: You know, like imagine you can buy like a season pass,
- 8:41Speaker 5: but you can get tickets to like every game and
- 8:43Speaker 5: ship for like every league.
- 8:44Speaker 4: That'd be pretty fun.
- 8:45Speaker 1: But we've got to pass that message.
- 8:48Speaker 2: Yeah, just to the fact that they're they're sharing the
- 8:51Speaker 2: stadium I think is huge too, right, like introducing the
- 8:54Speaker 2: Roses right to yeah, to Montreal and you know, the
- 8:57Speaker 2: first professional female team here here in in Quebec, so
- 9:02Speaker 2: uh and I'm sure in the stadium and and and
- 9:03Speaker 2: kind of you know, build bridging that gap, right uh
- 9:06Speaker 2: for you know, for you know, women's sport and and
- 9:09Speaker 2: and and men's sports here here in our in our
- 9:11Speaker 2: province that we always like to complain about. But at
- 9:14Speaker 2: the end, when when there's stories like this, it's it's
- 9:16Speaker 2: something that it's really positive and really great.
- 9:19Speaker 3: So uh again, I know, I know, I can speak
- 9:22Speaker 3: for the three of us.
- 9:23Speaker 2: We're excited, like I said, and it should be cool
- 9:26Speaker 2: man to see a kickoff, you know, obviously in a
- 9:28Speaker 2: World Cup World Cup year right in twenty twenty six,
- 9:31Speaker 2: and you know the games, uh you know, the the
- 9:35Speaker 2: Canadian national team coming coming to Montreal after ten years,
- 9:39Speaker 2: you know, coming in October right the next month. So
- 9:42Speaker 2: you know, just these little things you know with local culture.
- 9:45Speaker 2: Uh here for us is huge, so pumped, ready to
- 9:50Speaker 2: see what what comes, what comes from it and uh.
- 9:53Speaker 3: Hope to uh hope too. Yeah, just you know, enjoy
- 9:57Speaker 3: and and and sulk it all in.
- 9:59Speaker 1: And the great thing now is we have an opportunity
- 10:02Speaker 1: for local derby professionally in the Canadian Championship Supra and
- 10:07Speaker 1: save Montreal and guys, look, Canadian Championship final on October first.
- 10:11Speaker 1: So that's what next Wednesday. I believe FC Vancouver versus
- 10:15Speaker 1: Vancouver white Caps. That's awesome. You got a MLS versus
- 10:19Speaker 1: a CPL team. Uh that that's gonna be fun for
- 10:23Speaker 1: the city of Vancouver. Look, every big city across the
- 10:26Speaker 1: world has two soccer teams, two professional soccer teams. So
- 10:29Speaker 1: it's awesome to see. And you guys know where I'm
- 10:31Speaker 1: going with this, right because one of the biggest cities
- 10:34Speaker 1: in the world, Rome has two of the bigger teams
- 10:36Speaker 1: in Italy, Rome and Latso they played the played each
- 10:39Speaker 1: other this weekend. Before we get into that, though, I
- 10:43Speaker 1: will ask you guys, have Montreal versus FC Super if
- 10:46Speaker 1: they do play in the Canadian Championship Final. We got
- 10:48Speaker 1: to choose a side, right, yeah, but I might have
- 10:51Speaker 1: to go Supra.
- 10:52Speaker 5: Now I'm gonna go. I'm gonna I have to go
- 10:54Speaker 5: see Montreal. Man, amount of years that I've been behind
- 10:56Speaker 5: that club, you know, like trying to I was there
- 10:59Speaker 5: when when I was like it when they played in
- 11:01Speaker 5: uh the oh my god, what was it called the m.
- 11:05Speaker 4: Yeah, what was it called? Uh N L U s
- 11:12Speaker 4: U s L when it was when they were part
- 11:13Speaker 4: of the us L. I remember going to games then.
- 11:16Speaker 5: I remember when they's just when they just moved to
- 11:18Speaker 5: Supputo Stadium, when he just developed it.
- 11:20Speaker 4: I was there when they won.
- 11:22Speaker 3: Uh.
- 11:23Speaker 5: I forget which which cup it was, but uh it
- 11:26Speaker 5: was kind of like right before they went to the
- 11:27Speaker 5: n s L N E s L. They played in
- 11:29Speaker 5: a different league and they won a championship that I
- 11:31Speaker 5: was there when they want that in the Ultras and
- 11:33Speaker 5: A nine like I'm always there at the Ultras, like
- 11:36Speaker 5: I can't not cheer for them.
- 11:39Speaker 4: So for me, I'm still gonna stick with the Impact.
- 11:42Speaker 4: It's it's still gonna be uh in pact l aa
- 11:46Speaker 4: a A l a.
- 11:51Speaker 2: Anyway, so stop if I have to split the split
- 11:56Speaker 2: the title, yeah, I'm gonna go. I'm gonna go with
- 11:58Speaker 2: my uh my boy Rocco, with Super Marisetta and the
- 12:03Speaker 2: and the boys. It just listen for me, either either
- 12:09Speaker 2: or it's a win for us, right, so it really
- 12:12Speaker 2: it really doesn't matter. But you know, if if I
- 12:15Speaker 2: would have to choose, I would lean with this new project.
- 12:17Speaker 2: It seems exciting and what was the message, you know
- 12:20Speaker 2: a club?
- 12:22Speaker 1: What was it? From here? Four years?
- 12:26Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly right from here for here whatever it is,
- 12:31Speaker 2: I mean, it's just it's it's exciting, you know, the
- 12:35Speaker 2: it's gonna be you know, be uh be set up
- 12:38Speaker 2: with with with Quebec only players, you know, and if
- 12:42Speaker 2: you if you look around all these clubs, you know
- 12:44Speaker 2: that they're producing a lot of talent, you know, at
- 12:45Speaker 2: the local levels.
- 12:46Speaker 3: You know, the if if it be the cs lerons,
- 12:48Speaker 3: if it be the FC.
- 12:49Speaker 2: Levels as levels C, s R, d P, I see
- 12:53Speaker 2: you know boys DVP is evolved there.
- 12:55Speaker 3: So it's uh, it's exciting.
- 12:58Speaker 2: So if I would have to split the tie off,
- 13:00Speaker 2: I'll go there for now just for the maybe the
- 13:01Speaker 2: recently bias buzz.
- 13:03Speaker 3: But at the end of the day, it would be
- 13:05Speaker 3: a win for for us in my show.
- 13:09Speaker 1: But yeah, as I mentioned before, the Roman Derby, this
- 13:11Speaker 1: uh this past weekn officially derby the La capitalit one
- 13:15Speaker 1: nothing for for roma go from Lorenzo Paul Greenie, I
- 13:20Speaker 1: believe I was it in Yeah, first half, Yes, it was, Yes,
- 13:25Speaker 1: a nice twelve thirty o'clock game over there, six thirty
- 13:29Speaker 1: am over here. I don't know if you got up
- 13:31Speaker 1: to watch that, Johnny, I'll.
- 13:32Speaker 4: Be honest with you, no, because yeah, I know, I like,
- 13:35Speaker 4: I've been having issues with sleep lately, So for me,
- 13:37Speaker 4: I was like, I'm sleeping in on this. I'm like,
- 13:41Speaker 4: I sleep in, especially with weekends.
- 13:44Speaker 5: I'm also doing weddings and ship I'm working six days
- 13:48Speaker 5: out of seven. But uh, honestly, uh like, but the
- 13:53Speaker 5: biggest thing that we have to take from this, besides
- 13:56Speaker 5: when Doozy being a bitch.
- 13:57Speaker 4: I'm just when ze Is felt a Greini finally getting
- 14:03Speaker 4: that monkey off his back, you know, finally getting all
- 14:06Speaker 4: the all the hardships and stuff. With that goal.
- 14:09Speaker 5: It was just like like he exercised the demon in it,
- 14:12Speaker 5: you know, like he's been someone who, like last year,
- 14:17Speaker 5: felt like as if he lost a bit of his placement,
- 14:19Speaker 5: felt a little bit, you know, all over the place,
- 14:23Speaker 5: rumors this summer of him potentially leaving to probably go
- 14:26Speaker 5: to like uh which I think it was west Ham.
- 14:29Speaker 4: United was making offers for him.
- 14:31Speaker 3: Was it west Ham?
- 14:32Speaker 5: I think it was west Ham making offers for him
- 14:33Speaker 5: and stuff, and you know, it seemed like as if
- 14:36Speaker 5: he still needed some form of direction. And a goal
- 14:39Speaker 5: like that can just especially in a derby, especially when
- 14:41Speaker 5: you're doing it for your favorite team against your biggest rival,
- 14:44Speaker 5: like it.
- 14:46Speaker 4: Does so much.
- 14:47Speaker 5: And overall, Latsio applied a lot of pressure. I wouldn't
- 14:53Speaker 5: say that Roma was the better team in that game.
- 14:56Speaker 5: From from watching it, I felt like as if Latsio.
- 14:59Speaker 4: Were more retnin than Romo was. But all in all, like.
- 15:05Speaker 5: It just like with Roma scored on their chants, Latzio didn't.
- 15:10Speaker 5: There's a lot of our especially at the end. There
- 15:12Speaker 5: a lot of interesting arguments and stuff speaking of when
- 15:16Speaker 5: there was the getting that read at the end there.
- 15:20Speaker 5: But winning a derby is always a great feeling, I think,
- 15:23Speaker 5: and it just continued on into into like to Europa
- 15:27Speaker 5: League game today. I know, like we're not in in
- 15:29Speaker 5: the Europa League competition discussion yet, but I'll just might
- 15:32Speaker 5: as well get it all the way since I'm on
- 15:34Speaker 5: a topic. You know, I couldn't see the game today
- 15:36Speaker 5: either because I was working. Sorry, listeners, I uh had
- 15:40Speaker 5: the life of a teacher, right, games go on while
- 15:41Speaker 5: you I have a job, right, I'm I've been employed
- 15:44Speaker 5: Italian since when?
- 15:45Speaker 1: How's that work?
- 15:48Speaker 5: Uh?
- 15:49Speaker 3: Yeah?
- 15:49Speaker 5: I know against Nice Mancini scoring, that's another name that
- 15:52Speaker 5: we need someone to be better, and he has been
- 15:54Speaker 5: better Mancini. Uh, you know, like like he had a
- 15:57Speaker 5: little bit of a shaky game last time we played
- 15:59Speaker 5: for the national team, but you know, great bounce back
- 16:01Speaker 5: game against Nice Uh gets on the score sheet.
- 16:04Speaker 4: Uh, contributes to a very huge win in Europa League overall.
- 16:09Speaker 1: Like you know, gas.
- 16:10Speaker 4: Perini's under a great time with Roma.
- 16:12Speaker 5: He's really establishing something and he's finding some ground, which
- 16:15Speaker 5: is great and it reflects in the league too, like
- 16:17Speaker 5: your fourth place right now the league. I know it's
- 16:19Speaker 5: only four games in of the season, but they're y're
- 16:21Speaker 5: in the top four, and you know, hopefully they stayed
- 16:25Speaker 5: in the top four until the end of the season.
- 16:27Speaker 4: Because stop the count. Yeah, stop the count.
- 16:30Speaker 5: I mean Nopoly first, rollingports, stop the count. Stop we
- 16:34Speaker 5: got we got all of our teams in the top
- 16:36Speaker 5: four here. Actually should think we should we should literally
- 16:39Speaker 5: put slam on the stop the count.
- 16:41Speaker 3: Stop.
- 16:44Speaker 4: Uh But but like still, it's it's just it's nice
- 16:48Speaker 4: to see that. It's nice to see like, uh, some consistency.
- 16:52Speaker 5: I enjoyed it when we had when we had Mourinho
- 16:55Speaker 5: kind of providing that too, you know, but gaspin like
- 16:58Speaker 5: I said, he's gonna implement a long term project. Hopefully
- 17:01Speaker 5: does stay long term. And it's nice to see like
- 17:07Speaker 5: old like like old faces. I guess that's the best
- 17:10Speaker 5: way I can say it, like just finding their groove again.
- 17:12Speaker 5: And these are players that you need to have, uh,
- 17:16Speaker 5: like consistent, You need to have them be their best
- 17:18Speaker 5: because they're like like the like the term is the talisman.
- 17:21Speaker 5: They're the talisman of the team. You know, they're they're
- 17:23Speaker 5: the emblem of you know, like they're the guys who
- 17:26Speaker 5: you know, probably fight, like fight the hardest for the
- 17:28Speaker 5: team to for a victory or a loss. Mancini for
- 17:31Speaker 5: his character, Pelagrini for being not only the captain but
- 17:34Speaker 5: being from Roma, being a Romanista growing up and stuff,
- 17:37Speaker 5: you know, like you know, it's it's.
- 17:40Speaker 4: It you need, you need, you need that from these guys.
- 17:42Speaker 4: And the fact that we're getting that is nice to see.
- 17:44Speaker 4: I hope it continues.
- 17:45Speaker 5: Uh, it remains to be seen. What's their next game? Actually,
- 17:48Speaker 5: I keep on forgetting it's against Verona. Yeah, that's gonna
- 17:52Speaker 5: be That's gonna be a fun one. You know, once
- 17:55Speaker 5: again you could do. If you do well in that game,
- 17:57Speaker 5: you just continue, you just continue building up from it.
- 17:59Speaker 5: So very nice Derby win. Not still a little bit scary. Uh,
- 18:04Speaker 5: Lazio still applied some decent pressure pressure, but they're having
- 18:08Speaker 5: some difficulties and I'm happy that Roma was able to
- 18:10Speaker 5: capitalize on that.
- 18:12Speaker 2: Yeah, And what a terrible mistake by Tavarus there, right,
- 18:17Speaker 2: it was just just uh, I don't know why you're
- 18:20Speaker 2: trying to be too fancy, too cute in the box
- 18:23Speaker 2: at that you know, you know, nine times aut of
- 18:26Speaker 2: ten you get burned by something like that. I think
- 18:29Speaker 2: that was a bit of a bonehead mistake in my opinion,
- 18:31Speaker 2: that kind of well in the end, it costed them
- 18:33Speaker 2: obviously the ded be But when I thought it was
- 18:35Speaker 2: gonna be a one to one draw as it usually is,
- 18:37Speaker 2: or just a draw as it usually is. But I think,
- 18:42Speaker 2: you know that doesn't happen. Maybe it's a different ballgame.
- 18:45Speaker 2: And listen, if you if you didn't watch the game
- 18:47Speaker 2: and you kind of just saw the box score and
- 18:49Speaker 2: you see, you know, one nail, two red cards, you
- 18:53Speaker 2: thought it would have been like a board bath of
- 18:55Speaker 2: a game.
- 18:55Speaker 3: I don't think it was that unfortunately obviously.
- 18:59Speaker 2: But you know, CRUs to Roma, uh for stepping up,
- 19:03Speaker 2: because I think it was the last week Johnny we
- 19:05Speaker 2: we kind of spoke about it after the after the
- 19:07Speaker 2: loss to Torino. If I'm not mistaken, you know, a
- 19:12Speaker 2: hiccup in the road, right the Roma kind of started
- 19:14Speaker 2: off in the right on the right.
- 19:15Speaker 3: Foot, and yeah, a hiccup in the road.
- 19:17Speaker 2: And listen, it's two from two since we since we
- 19:20Speaker 2: recorded that episode right in in Seria and in Europa
- 19:24Speaker 2: week today. So I think this team is gonna is
- 19:28Speaker 2: going to do as well as as Gasperini has these
- 19:32Speaker 2: players performing at a high level and if if that
- 19:36Speaker 2: continues to be I think they're in good shape. Ultimately,
- 19:39Speaker 2: where do they fall at the end of the season,
- 19:41Speaker 2: it remains to be seen. But you know, getting getting
- 19:45Speaker 2: a debut win is is sometimes even it's even bigger
- 19:49Speaker 2: than the three points, right, It's the bragging rights, it's
- 19:52Speaker 2: it's the it's the camaraderie that comes with it. So
- 19:56Speaker 2: and it seems like, uh, Pelgreen always has always has
- 19:59Speaker 2: a in him in the in the derby, it's.
- 20:02Speaker 3: It's it's well, I think it's fourth. I was seeing someone.
- 20:06Speaker 2: I think it's like what I think said posted it
- 20:08Speaker 2: to it's like this fourth goal, uh fourth derby goal,
- 20:12Speaker 2: I believe, or something along those lines.
- 20:14Speaker 1: I wouldn't.
- 20:15Speaker 2: I would have been, yeah, look it up, just to
- 20:18Speaker 2: just to correct me if I if I'm wrong there.
- 20:19Speaker 2: But he always seems to have a k act for
- 20:23Speaker 2: for goal in the in the debut. So it's a
- 20:25Speaker 2: big plus from him again where his future holds with
- 20:30Speaker 2: with being on this team again, I don't know. He
- 20:33Speaker 2: was almost out the door, like you alluded to Johnny earlier.
- 20:35Speaker 2: But as long as he's part of this team and
- 20:38Speaker 2: you know, knowing, you know, the love that he has
- 20:42Speaker 2: for for obviously the club and him being a Romano.
- 20:44Speaker 2: It's it's it's more than anything. You saw it in
- 20:47Speaker 2: the celebration too, right, just uh, just the the overall relief,
- 20:51Speaker 2: I think you you saw it, and the way he
- 20:54Speaker 2: spoke afterwards as well, So you know, kudos to him,
- 20:57Speaker 2: kudos to Roma, and they're they're on the right path, and.
- 21:01Speaker 3: You know, well we'll see again. Like like I said earlier,
- 21:03Speaker 3: how long how long it last?
- 21:05Speaker 2: But you know, you you gotta fight through these these
- 21:08Speaker 2: tough moments, and they were able to do that in
- 21:10Speaker 2: the derby.
- 21:12Speaker 1: H fourth derby goal for it is right perfect, all yeah,
- 21:18Speaker 1: all city like no COVID goals. I just scored the
- 21:23Speaker 1: last each of the last two seasons as well. And
- 21:25Speaker 1: then to realize Roma is undefeated now four straight. In
- 21:28Speaker 1: the derby, Latio what was on a good run for
- 21:33Speaker 1: a bit. I think I had seen something in the
- 21:36Speaker 1: I think it was like the past nine games out
- 21:39Speaker 1: Latio was considered the home team in the city. They
- 21:42Speaker 1: haven't lost like that. But I mean, at the end
- 21:46Speaker 1: of the day, it's it's it's almost a neutral site game,
- 21:50Speaker 1: you could argue that, you know, Lato did have the
- 21:51Speaker 1: advantage where they have more fans. It's like they're yeah,
- 21:56Speaker 1: Steam announce or whatever. But I'm sure for the players
- 21:59Speaker 1: it's like it's really not really not that difficult for
- 22:02Speaker 1: them to play play away.
- 22:04Speaker 2: Well, if you can't get up, if you can't get
- 22:05Speaker 2: up for a dead with it's you know, you should
- 22:08Speaker 2: just stay home, right, So yeah, it's a shame.
- 22:11Speaker 4: But even at that, like you look at the stadium,
- 22:12Speaker 4: it was like half Romanista half lotsially like it was.
- 22:15Speaker 3: Seventy thousand just singing great great TV.
- 22:18Speaker 4: But the people from both sides was I love. It
- 22:22Speaker 4: was was phenomenal, So it's great.
- 22:25Speaker 5: Like that's even though there it's kind of like the
- 22:27Speaker 5: Derby de la Madonina, like it feels like it's if
- 22:28Speaker 5: like yes, no matter which team is the home team,
- 22:30Speaker 5: it doesn't feel that way. It feels like it's still
- 22:32Speaker 5: like a nice bar bipartisan crowd, you know, like it's
- 22:36Speaker 5: just it's it's it feels like it's split down the middle,
- 22:39Speaker 5: you know what I.
- 22:39Speaker 2: Mean, Or when the t fault, when like when there's
- 22:41Speaker 2: the TFOs and when you know the the ultras are
- 22:43Speaker 2: are all not protesting or not whatever, like it's it's
- 22:47Speaker 2: just a great spectacle, right yes on regardless of what
- 22:50Speaker 2: happens on the pitch. Obviously you hope and wish that
- 22:52Speaker 2: the product on the pitch, you know, kind of matches
- 22:54Speaker 2: the TFO in the stands. But it's just like I said,
- 22:59Speaker 2: a spectacle. It's something that's you know, if you're there,
- 23:02Speaker 2: you you kind of you kind of soak it all
- 23:04Speaker 2: in and it's beautiful just to to to see as
- 23:07Speaker 2: a as a as a neutral, right, just especially the
- 23:09Speaker 2: WL capitality. It's unfortunate that a lot, so it's kind
- 23:13Speaker 2: of going through a bit of a bit of a
- 23:15Speaker 2: tough time as of way they haven't looked great. I
- 23:18Speaker 2: think they hit a poster too, if I'm not mistaken
- 23:20Speaker 2: in the match too. So maybe a bit unlucky. Uh,
- 23:23Speaker 2: you know it is where it is, you know there there,
- 23:25Speaker 2: there's summer Mercato obviously didn't go the way they've would
- 23:28Speaker 2: have wanted it, not being able to really spend and
- 23:30Speaker 2: and and such. So again Saudi two point zero, we'll
- 23:35Speaker 2: see if he uh, if they can do something in
- 23:37Speaker 2: the winter Mercato and maybe maybe shake up this squad.
- 23:39Speaker 2: But the player's gotta gotta grow up their and I
- 23:42Speaker 2: think gotta gotta work.
- 23:43Speaker 3: Harder to to to earn their their their points.
- 23:46Speaker 2: And it doesn't seem to be coming right now, but
- 23:49Speaker 2: I think, you know, or hopefully with time, it could come.
- 23:53Speaker 2: But credit to like I said, to Roma, they got
- 23:55Speaker 2: the job done and and walked away with the three points.
- 23:58Speaker 1: The last time I'm just checking. The last time Roma
- 24:04Speaker 1: beat Latsho and you know as lat Sho's the home
- 24:08Speaker 1: team was twenty sixteen. Jesus, so it's been a while
- 24:11Speaker 1: since nine years. Yeah, So, like like you said, important
- 24:15Speaker 1: to win for for Roma, they're you know, strong starts
- 24:18Speaker 1: the season. It's I don't know if you want to
- 24:19Speaker 1: call it the gas putting, the effect or whatnot. But
- 24:22Speaker 1: you know, they're continuing their momentum. I've said this before,
- 24:24Speaker 1: they're continuing their momentum from last season, fourth place, ninth.
- 24:28Speaker 3: Honeymoon. It's the honeymoon. Faces, it's the honeymoon.
- 24:32Speaker 2: They're just getting start. Wait till they're married the ten
- 24:34Speaker 2: and fifteen, twenty years and then we'll see what happened.
- 24:36Speaker 5: Well, I mean, Gaspini really turned out to Lanta into
- 24:38Speaker 5: a champions league level team.
- 24:40Speaker 3: Yeah, until they got until they got divorced.
- 24:42Speaker 5: I mean they're still in the Champions that you're still
- 24:44Speaker 5: almost there, like yeah, until they got the board. Sure, yeah, no,
- 24:47Speaker 5: like I'm not with you there.
- 24:49Speaker 3: But if but that's great, that a good run. That's
- 24:53Speaker 3: a good run.
- 24:54Speaker 5: Like if they start, if they if he establishes some
- 24:56Speaker 5: form of consistency with the team, that's what matters, because
- 24:59Speaker 5: that's something that the has been desperate for for almost
- 25:02Speaker 5: almost a decade now. Uh Ever since the thought of
- 25:05Speaker 5: the years, it just seems like I said, there was
- 25:07Speaker 5: no direction with the team, no rhyme or reason.
- 25:09Speaker 4: So this is just actually no ice that corrected.
- 25:12Speaker 5: Ever since that Champions League run they've they've was that
- 25:17Speaker 5: twenty six seventeen?
- 25:20Speaker 3: Yeah, wonder different.
- 25:22Speaker 5: Was it when they lost in the semi five? Yeah,
- 25:25Speaker 5: when they lost in the semis bullshit.
- 25:27Speaker 2: But we're not going to go back down that path
- 25:29Speaker 2: because it's going to go into a rage fati on
- 25:32Speaker 2: the cultural guys.
- 25:34Speaker 1: Uh So yeah, now they're tied with Melon nine points,
- 25:38Speaker 1: so Melon two. They had a you could say rough
- 25:40Speaker 1: starts the season and lost to Crimines back on matchally one.
- 25:44Speaker 1: They haven't conceded since uh four street games now, including
- 25:48Speaker 1: cop Italia where Melon hasn't hasn't allowed a goal. And
- 25:52Speaker 1: even if you want to go back to their origin,
- 25:54Speaker 1: their first Cope Battalian game against Body to nothing back
- 25:57Speaker 1: on August seventeenth, So the two goals allowed versus Crew
- 26:01Speaker 1: were a month ago. Obviously, they beat leg to nothing.
- 26:03Speaker 1: They beat Bologna one nothing, and then this past weekend
- 26:06Speaker 1: three nothing into and then back in copd Italia, uh
- 26:09Speaker 1: three nothing. So Adri, this is this is where you're
- 26:12Speaker 1: gonna get out of a Legri defense. Defense. Defense. I'm
- 26:14Speaker 1: surprised they've actually scored three goals in each of the
- 26:16Speaker 1: last two games. That's that's a shock for Laker. I'm
- 26:20Speaker 1: surprised he didn't tell them to sit back. But you know,
- 26:22Speaker 1: against Udonse and Lecha, I guess you got to go
- 26:25Speaker 1: for it. But you know another team that you got
- 26:28Speaker 1: to be happy with.
- 26:29Speaker 3: Absolutely, I mean, listen, it's uh not to start that
- 26:32Speaker 3: we wanted.
- 26:33Speaker 2: Obviously, I think they should have been twelve twelve points
- 26:35Speaker 2: out of twelve to start the season, if if, if
- 26:37Speaker 2: I'm honest, and and again no disrespect to Cremonese, they
- 26:40Speaker 2: earned that that that win and you know, rightfully, so
- 26:43Speaker 2: you know, we were we didn't play up to me
- 26:45Speaker 2: one's uh you know, expectations and and such, so uh,
- 26:49Speaker 2: credit to them there, but you know, ever since then,
- 26:51Speaker 2: it's it's it's that it's that allegory effect, I guess,
- 26:54Speaker 2: you know, uh really uh, solidifying this makeshift defense that
- 26:59Speaker 2: we have and so far, so good. I don't want
- 27:01Speaker 2: to really drink anything, but it's it's it seems to
- 27:06Speaker 2: be working. Maybe when he's not on the touch line
- 27:08Speaker 2: and is Landucci and maybe that's why they scored a
- 27:10Speaker 2: couple more goals. I don't know, but it's, you know,
- 27:14Speaker 2: it's I guess, uh, I guess the horse has his move.
- 27:18Speaker 2: His moo is a bit longer in Midland than it
- 27:21Speaker 2: wasn't too I don't know in Torino it was just
- 27:23Speaker 2: an inch now it's now it's a bit more joking aside,
- 27:28Speaker 2: it's just it's just refreshing to see, I think for
- 27:30Speaker 2: for me On and Mewon fans. And you see obviously
- 27:33Speaker 2: the image there of of you know, guys like in
- 27:35Speaker 2: kun Ku new players that are getting on the score
- 27:37Speaker 2: sheets and and celebrating and the team looks happy, right,
- 27:41Speaker 2: the team looks uh, you know, revived and it's a
- 27:46Speaker 2: it's a breath of fresh air, like I said, so,
- 27:49Speaker 2: you know, sort of find the defense. I think that
- 27:51Speaker 2: the last two seasons has been really our downfall. I
- 27:54Speaker 2: think since this too year it's been it's you know,
- 27:57Speaker 2: that year we had, we had a good run. Defense
- 28:00Speaker 2: of these last couple of seasons, it's been really rough.
- 28:03Speaker 3: I think they've.
- 28:04Speaker 2: Allowed I saw a quote and I don't remember who
- 28:06Speaker 2: it was by off the top of my head, but
- 28:07Speaker 2: I saw a quote, uh in in the Italian papers.
- 28:12Speaker 2: You know mew mewan took or wed in sorry, uh,
- 28:16Speaker 2: forty three and forty nine goals in each of the
- 28:18Speaker 2: last two seasons. That's way too many goals to con
- 28:20Speaker 2: see if you want to be a serious you know,
- 28:22Speaker 2: title contender, if you want to be uh you know,
- 28:25Speaker 2: uh in the running for top four or what have you.
- 28:28Speaker 2: So the fact that you know, they've only conceded two
- 28:31Speaker 2: goals in uh in four match days now, it's it's exciting.
- 28:38Speaker 3: Uh, it's it's positive al right. Sorry, three matches what
- 28:43Speaker 3: is it three matches or two or four? Three matches?
- 28:46Speaker 2: Sorry?
- 28:47Speaker 3: Three?
- 28:47Speaker 2: Three city matually is going on to match four?
- 28:50Speaker 3: I'm sorry?
- 28:52Speaker 2: And scoring seven goals, right, you know the goal goal
- 28:56Speaker 2: the frenchial ayres is is is good for for what
- 29:00Speaker 2: for for what the start was, So you know, just players,
- 29:05Speaker 2: you know, stepping up and this is all without you know,
- 29:08Speaker 2: our quote unquote best player, right and in Raphael right
- 29:11Speaker 2: hasn't hasn't seen the Setia pitch yet and hopefully we'll,
- 29:15Speaker 2: hopefully we see it maybe a maybe a glimpse of
- 29:18Speaker 2: him against you know, a really tough test and not
- 29:21Speaker 2: with this this upcoming Sunday. But you know, Modrich is
- 29:25Speaker 2: just like I said in previous shows, just class man,
- 29:28Speaker 2: just a step above.
- 29:30Speaker 1: It's just so so.
- 29:31Speaker 2: Crazy that we live in a world where he plays
- 29:33Speaker 2: for me on, right, and he's he's bracing the city
- 29:35Speaker 2: at pitches, and he's really he's really stepped up for
- 29:39Speaker 2: for for me on at his young age.
- 29:42Speaker 3: I guess you'll say at forty I hope we don't.
- 29:45Speaker 2: I hope we don't drive him into the ground, because
- 29:47Speaker 2: he's been playing quite a bit since since arriving, and
- 29:49Speaker 2: I think we have to to kind of manage his minutes,
- 29:53Speaker 2: kind of going forward and and kind of allowing you know,
- 29:56Speaker 2: the the dchies of the world. And you know, if
- 29:58Speaker 2: it be for fun or Rabbio or or loftis cheek
- 30:02Speaker 2: to get in there and in different in different roles.
- 30:04Speaker 2: So but you know, it's, uh, it's it's players that
- 30:09Speaker 2: have stepped up, you know, players that you know have
- 30:14Speaker 2: have not been maybe the best in the last.
- 30:17Speaker 3: Couple of seasons kind of stepping up as well.
- 30:20Speaker 2: You know, again, I don't think loft of chic is
- 30:22Speaker 2: An is an old timer, right, I don't think he's
- 30:24Speaker 2: he's the next coming of of you know, Roberto Bajo,
- 30:29Speaker 2: But he's, uh, he's he's he's you know, improving. I
- 30:33Speaker 2: think Solid Makers has made the biggest jump as well.
- 30:37Speaker 2: And how can we not say about Christian Pools it right,
- 30:39Speaker 2: it's it's an incredible, incredible start for Captain America. He's
- 30:42Speaker 2: he's really put the team on his back. I think
- 30:46Speaker 2: that's you know, six goals in his last five appearances
- 30:48Speaker 2: for me on and so it's just you know, the
- 30:52Speaker 2: the the instant impact for him. He's he started off
- 30:55Speaker 2: the season well and we hope for it to continue,
- 30:57Speaker 2: for for for this season.
- 30:59Speaker 3: To be a good one.
- 31:00Speaker 2: And I don't know, it's just it's just encouraging to
- 31:05Speaker 2: see that, you know, the season starts at this it
- 31:07Speaker 2: was a tough test against who the nay is. This
- 31:08Speaker 2: is a team that we saw a couple of weeks ago,
- 31:10Speaker 2: gave gave it to inter right, they went to san
- 31:13Speaker 2: Ziero and and and they took to three points from them.
- 31:15Speaker 2: And this was going to be a tough test in
- 31:18Speaker 2: between in between multitude of games, right Copitalia, you know,
- 31:24Speaker 2: not with this weekend, I think juve after that. So
- 31:29Speaker 2: you have to get your points when you can, and
- 31:31Speaker 2: you have to put yourself in a position where you know,
- 31:33Speaker 2: come the end of the season, like allegrit you said
- 31:34Speaker 2: at the beginning of the season, uh, that you're in
- 31:37Speaker 2: a good enough spot that you can compete if it
- 31:40Speaker 2: be into top four or or or pushing first Goudeto.
- 31:42Speaker 2: So it's uh, it's something positive to to to say.
- 31:48Speaker 2: And I think the biggest test of the season is
- 31:51Speaker 2: like I said, coming this Sunday against against Napoi, this
- 31:54Speaker 2: is maybe two teams that can can maybe go the
- 31:58Speaker 2: distance you want. You obviously you know you has been
- 32:00Speaker 2: playing well is also so you know there's there's a
- 32:03Speaker 2: lot of teams up there that are going to compete.
- 32:05Speaker 2: And again I don't didn't have the great start of
- 32:07Speaker 2: the season. But they'll they'll they'll be there.
- 32:09Speaker 3: I think when when it becomes uh you know needed
- 32:12Speaker 3: that they need to get back into the top four,
- 32:14Speaker 3: they'll be there.
- 32:15Speaker 2: So so me one has a has a tough test
- 32:17Speaker 2: and I don't know how you how you mitigate that,
- 32:21Speaker 2: that that offense that that not we has.
- 32:24Speaker 3: But if if if there's one person to.
- 32:29Speaker 2: Kind of to kind of try to mitigate that, it's
- 32:31Speaker 2: gonna be a guy with Max Celegrian on the touch line.
- 32:33Speaker 2: So they have he has this team playing well, he
- 32:35Speaker 2: has this team more positive than they've looked in the
- 32:38Speaker 2: past couple of seasons. And yeah, it's just encouraging and
- 32:44Speaker 2: hopefully that it continues throughout the season.
- 32:49Speaker 4: Uh yeah, I was gonna make a joke about Lao
- 32:52Speaker 4: like becoming good.
- 32:53Speaker 5: I'm like, but wait a second, I want to like,
- 32:55Speaker 5: guess I was gonnake a joke on the counter because
- 32:56Speaker 5: I'm just waiting especially that like Lukman is also playing
- 32:59Speaker 5: for the for Atlanta.
- 33:00Speaker 4: But then we're like, oh, yeah, sure he's playing. He's
- 33:02Speaker 4: playing Apoly. Let's let's wait a bit more on Leol
- 33:05Speaker 4: being good again.
- 33:07Speaker 3: Well hopefully come I mean, yeah, for you it's like
- 33:09Speaker 3: a double age short because I.
- 33:12Speaker 4: Need to win.
- 33:12Speaker 3: I need to win this league.
- 33:13Speaker 4: I've been second place so far, but I don't need
- 33:17Speaker 4: it to cut to the expense of my team. He
- 33:19Speaker 4: could score very much.
- 33:22Speaker 2: Well, we'll see, we'll see what happens. I don't know
- 33:24Speaker 2: if he does. I think he's I saw he's he's
- 33:26Speaker 2: training with the team again and he works. Probable, I
- 33:31Speaker 2: guess if you want to go with NFL terms right,
- 33:33Speaker 2: probably questionable, limited, you know what I mean, like all
- 33:37Speaker 2: these all these terms. But if if he does get
- 33:41Speaker 2: the the okay to to go, I don't know if
- 33:44Speaker 2: we see him from minute one maybe because again we we've.
- 33:49Speaker 3: Me one has kind of been shaped in this in
- 33:50Speaker 3: this three five two and make shift you know kind.
- 33:53Speaker 2: Of I don't want to make shift formation, but you know,
- 33:56Speaker 2: like he's kind of working with what he has at
- 33:57Speaker 2: his disposable, at his disposal currently.
- 33:59Speaker 3: And you know where does they all kind of fit
- 34:02Speaker 3: in there?
- 34:02Speaker 2: Where does he kind of include everybody that he wants
- 34:04Speaker 2: to include on the on the starting eleven? So, uh,
- 34:07Speaker 2: do we see him for a minute one potentially this
- 34:09Speaker 2: Sunday against NOTAPO. Maybe I think he does he make
- 34:13Speaker 2: a cameo. If he's if he's one hundred percent fit,
- 34:15Speaker 2: I think absolutely So. I don't know, it's it's gonna
- 34:19Speaker 2: be a tough match and it's gonna be one of
- 34:20Speaker 2: the bigger matches. Uh so far I think, uh, you
- 34:23Speaker 2: know this this this city season, just with the landscape
- 34:26Speaker 2: of how things started this season.
- 34:28Speaker 3: So yeah, man, we'll see. But you know it's gonna
- 34:34Speaker 3: be uh all versus.
- 34:35Speaker 2: Quante, you know, the two old heads in Madric versus
- 34:39Speaker 2: de Bruy, and it's uh, it should be.
- 34:40Speaker 3: A good one.
- 34:43Speaker 1: Uh yeah, it's almost Uh. I guess you could call
- 34:45Speaker 1: it the x uva coach derby. But also that also
- 34:50Speaker 1: I was gonna say Adri Milan's next few games before
- 34:53Speaker 1: the break, Napoli and Uvea, So you better be nice
- 34:56Speaker 1: in the chat.
- 34:57Speaker 2: Well, listen, it's uh, it's either we we we love
- 35:00Speaker 2: each other or we strangle each other.
- 35:02Speaker 3: It's it's it's there's no one between right between between
- 35:04Speaker 3: us three and the three of us. So but no
- 35:07Speaker 3: joking aside.
- 35:08Speaker 2: I think, uh, the way these teams have been playing
- 35:11Speaker 2: like we always want you know, every time you play,
- 35:14Speaker 2: you know the bigger teams, you know you want your
- 35:16Speaker 2: team to be both teams. You want them to be
- 35:19Speaker 2: at one hundred percent. You want them to feel the
- 35:21Speaker 2: best eleven and and and the best team win on
- 35:24Speaker 2: Sunday Saturday whenever they play.
- 35:25Speaker 3: Right.
- 35:26Speaker 2: So I again, we'll we'll see if that is to
- 35:30Speaker 2: be come come Sunday against not we but.
- 35:34Speaker 3: You know there's there's there's a lot of factors to
- 35:37Speaker 3: be played there. But I'm excited.
- 35:40Speaker 2: So we hopefully Meli can go six from six and
- 35:44Speaker 2: uh and we won't have to smash any tables come the.
- 35:47Speaker 3: Post pod post game pods for for those weeks.
- 35:51Speaker 2: But I'm excited and just just uh confident to say
- 35:58Speaker 2: even because again in in seasons past, I think you know,
- 36:02Speaker 2: post school that two year you know Melan or even
- 36:05Speaker 2: before the POI run and and all that stuff, you
- 36:08Speaker 2: know Melan would have crumbled and wouldn't have come back
- 36:11Speaker 2: in games, and you know you would have watched your
- 36:12Speaker 2: starting keeper and you probably would have lost against Udine.
- 36:15Speaker 3: Is it because it was Teda channel? Right, Teda Channel.
- 36:17Speaker 3: It's a three nil, a three nail clean sheet for
- 36:21Speaker 3: for him as well.
- 36:21Speaker 4: Right.
- 36:21Speaker 2: Mike Manion comes back for Copalia yesterday. Unfortunately, can't really
- 36:26Speaker 2: watch much of the match. I caught a bit of
- 36:28Speaker 2: the first half because yeah, we have we're three walks
- 36:32Speaker 2: and we have drops, so it just it's a it's
- 36:35Speaker 2: a crazy phenomenon. But but nevertheless it was it was
- 36:40Speaker 2: another three nail with Mike Manuil between the six. So
- 36:44Speaker 2: I just hope this momentum can continue and we'll see
- 36:47Speaker 2: how far how far it goes?
- 36:50Speaker 1: Uh, yeah, you know we mentioned melan Uve in two weeks. Uh,
- 36:54Speaker 1: you've a weird week. I guess you could say, uh,
- 36:58Speaker 1: four to four tie in the Champions League on it
- 37:01Speaker 1: was on Tuesday. I know you guys had Lucian last week.
- 37:04Speaker 1: You didn't have the opportunity to talk to him about
- 37:06Speaker 1: that game. And then a one to one against Hellas
- 37:09Speaker 1: thrown on the weekend, and you know I didn't have enough.
- 37:14Speaker 1: I couldn't watch the Champions League game either because job.
- 37:18Speaker 3: Wop, job job, But you guys are employed. No, it
- 37:24Speaker 3: can't be.
- 37:26Speaker 1: Is it is it crazy to say like I had
- 37:29Speaker 1: when I saw that Yeah that too, that too, No,
- 37:36Speaker 1: but is it crazy to say that, you know when
- 37:37Speaker 1: I saw the score for four afterwards that I wasn't
- 37:40Speaker 1: celebrating like this is this is a short Champions League run.
- 37:45Speaker 1: It's eight games. You need as many points as possible.
- 37:49Speaker 1: You know there's thirty six teams, twenty four make it through.
- 37:52Speaker 1: You also want to finish in that top eight to
- 37:53Speaker 1: get a buy into the next round. When you when
- 37:56Speaker 1: you can win games, especially at home, you want to
- 37:57Speaker 1: win games, and when you're scoring four goals, you should
- 38:01Speaker 1: be winning games, right kind of like almost the inter game, right. Uh,
- 38:05Speaker 1: they just squeaked by four to three. Now it's four
- 38:07Speaker 1: to four. Yes, I know there was some controversy. Obviously
- 38:11Speaker 1: there's a penalty Dorman's fourth goal. They got beat by
- 38:13Speaker 1: Junco two U on their third goal. Only Quebec listeners
- 38:18Speaker 1: will will understand that Kodu. But uh, like yeah, great,
- 38:26Speaker 1: they came back, scored two goals right at the Envovich
- 38:29Speaker 1: fantastic run he's having Kelly, you know, cause the penaltying
- 38:34Speaker 1: scored the tightan goal. But guys, it's champions legue. You
- 38:36Speaker 1: want three points. You want to be celebrating three points two,
- 38:38Speaker 1: especially at home. If this wasn't Dorman, you know what
- 38:41Speaker 1: I'd say, no problem, you go to Dormant, come home
- 38:43Speaker 1: with with a point, no problem. This is a home game.
- 38:46Speaker 1: You you want those three points, So I know you
- 38:50Speaker 1: does have somewhat of a challenging Champions League schedule because
- 38:53Speaker 1: they do play Real Madrid in two match days in Madrid,
- 38:58Speaker 1: so that's that's you know, that's another game that's gonna
- 39:00Speaker 1: be tough. They played for the La Reale, not an
- 39:03Speaker 1: easy team, uh, Sporting. It seems like they're always playing
- 39:06Speaker 1: them in the Champions League. You know, again that's a
- 39:09Speaker 1: home game. Again, that's the game you want them to win.
- 39:12Speaker 4: Uh.
- 39:12Speaker 1: They played Boto glimp uh and then after that in
- 39:15Speaker 1: January they play against Benfica and Monaco. So not not
- 39:19Speaker 1: easy games. You know, no such thing as an easy
- 39:21Speaker 1: game in the Champions League. But you know, if they
- 39:25Speaker 1: if they started dropping more points in the Champions League,
- 39:27Speaker 1: started to get more concerned and but obviously at the
- 39:29Speaker 1: end of the day, there's more concerned time one winn
- 39:32Speaker 1: against Hellas Rona. It was a game that I was
- 39:35Speaker 1: able to watch the second half and it was frustrating
- 39:37Speaker 1: because they missed a lot of chances. Openda couldn't control
- 39:40Speaker 1: a ball for for his life. I'd like to I
- 39:43Speaker 1: would like to see more Jonathan David from the start.
- 39:45Speaker 1: It's it's almost getting frustrating. I know, Vovich is the
- 39:49Speaker 1: hot striker right now, and they're kind of they pretty
- 39:52Speaker 1: much have three really good strikers and they're gonna start one.
- 39:54Speaker 1: Uh so you know there's always gonna be an odd
- 39:56Speaker 1: man out, you know. Uh yeah, I would have liked
- 40:01Speaker 1: to see better finishing obviously. I know there was a
- 40:05Speaker 1: lot of controversy. It is frustrating the the elbow by
- 40:08Speaker 1: orban On Gatti and then he goes out and scores
- 40:11Speaker 1: the goal. Very controversial handball. It's that type of play
- 40:16Speaker 1: where what what I didn't like about that it was
- 40:19Speaker 1: called the pellty was it took so many frames and
- 40:21Speaker 1: so many slowdowns and so many minutes just to just
- 40:24Speaker 1: to decide if there was a pellingy you're not. I know,
- 40:26Speaker 1: VARs there to clear up to fix clear and obvious errors,
- 40:31Speaker 1: but guys, when you're doing like frame by frame, when
- 40:33Speaker 1: you have to go down to the thirty two by
- 40:35Speaker 1: one aspectration that we're seeing on Instagram these days to
- 40:38Speaker 1: just zoom in on one little part of the frame,
- 40:40Speaker 1: and you know, there was comments online like the referee
- 40:42Speaker 1: didn't even know who touched the ball at the end
- 40:45Speaker 1: between quinc was Conseal and Coolulu I think, which there
- 40:48Speaker 1: was a jail Mario and Coolulu I forget. But again
- 40:53Speaker 1: in the in the city, yeah, we do see those
- 40:55Speaker 1: called the handball, so whatever. But for me, the more
- 40:58Speaker 1: frustrating part is the the no call on the elbow,
- 41:02Speaker 1: the obvious elbow. We've seen that called so many times
- 41:05Speaker 1: in the city. And the fact that General Karaki goes
- 41:07Speaker 1: on TV after and it says, yeah, it was a mistake.
- 41:11Speaker 1: That's the frustrating part. When the league missed the mistakes
- 41:14Speaker 1: after and then the ref goes back down. Yes, I
- 41:17Speaker 1: know they're human, but this is what VAR is for.
- 41:19Speaker 1: Like VAR fixed the penalty, which, like I said, you
- 41:24Speaker 1: could give it at least, you know what with that,
- 41:26Speaker 1: they're consistent. They're pretty strict on handball in the city.
- 41:29Speaker 1: App they're consistent whatever, But not fixing an elbow like
- 41:33Speaker 1: that when we saw the exact same thing from Cambiazo
- 41:35Speaker 1: two weeks ago, three weeks ago, whenever it was, that's
- 41:38Speaker 1: the frustrating part. I know, you know, I think it
- 41:40Speaker 1: was Louci tweeted out. You can't blame the loss on referees.
- 41:44Speaker 1: You know, two things could be true, right, You've played
- 41:46Speaker 1: a bad game, but the referees were also bad with
- 41:49Speaker 1: the results had been had Would the result have been
- 41:52Speaker 1: different with a red card there? Honestly? Probably eleven? Uh,
- 41:57Speaker 1: you know, eleven versus ten for most of the game
- 41:59Speaker 1: against Rona. I don't see you a dropping points in
- 42:02Speaker 1: that situation. But regardless, even eleven eleven against Ronnie need
- 42:07Speaker 1: you need to win, you need to win. So yeah,
- 42:09Speaker 1: it feels like this game now against Atlanta this weekend,
- 42:12Speaker 1: it's it's a test next weekend, it's being on two
- 42:14Speaker 1: big tests because even Atlanta they had a rush start,
- 42:16Speaker 1: they're climbing back up slowly so that these are the
- 42:20Speaker 1: real tests now for you.
- 42:22Speaker 3: Two things I just wanted to add there.
- 42:25Speaker 2: To bounce off to your points, Nick, at the end
- 42:28Speaker 2: of it, you may have to be better, right the
- 42:30Speaker 2: controversy aside. You know, a top team right in this league,
- 42:33Speaker 2: they have to be better, uh to to be able
- 42:36Speaker 2: to overcome these stupid dodges that we see right in
- 42:40Speaker 2: in in the city, right because if you're gonna bank
- 42:43Speaker 2: on a on a on a call, if you're gonna
- 42:46Speaker 2: buying on a mistake, if you're gonna bank on a
- 42:48Speaker 2: red card, if you're gonna bank on a referee decision.
- 42:50Speaker 3: You know you're you're running yourself into into trouble.
- 42:53Speaker 2: So I think ultimately at the end of it, you know,
- 42:56Speaker 2: with all this comeback that we've seen in the past
- 42:59Speaker 2: two games, and the derby deal in in the Champions League,
- 43:02Speaker 2: right to to to win and salvage a point, uh,
- 43:05Speaker 2: and that fight and that green and that hustle.
- 43:08Speaker 3: By jove, as much as I don't really I don't know,
- 43:12Speaker 3: it doesn't really concern me, but.
- 43:15Speaker 2: You know you need to you need you see that,
- 43:17Speaker 2: and then you go against Verona and and you you
- 43:21Speaker 2: don't play up to what we've seen in the past
- 43:23Speaker 2: two match in the past two games, for for for
- 43:26Speaker 2: you of it. So ultimately they need to be better,
- 43:28Speaker 2: regardless of of all the controversy, you know, the Shenanigan,
- 43:32Speaker 2: because it's said, yeah, we know that that stuff is coming.
- 43:36Speaker 2: What I don't like and just to bounce off to
- 43:38Speaker 2: your your point too, Nick, you know, like what is
- 43:42Speaker 2: this this? You know ARACKI goes every week there admitting yeah,
- 43:45Speaker 2: we made a mistake, Yeah we made a mistake.
- 43:47Speaker 3: What's the solution. Uh, Yeah, he's gonna go back down
- 43:49Speaker 3: to Sadia B for three matches. He's gonna he's gonna
- 43:53Speaker 3: be suspended.
- 43:53Speaker 2: With pay, suspended with pay, I've never heard if you're suspended,
- 43:59Speaker 2: how are you getting.
- 44:00Speaker 3: You never heard that.
- 44:01Speaker 4: I saw that with cops cops many times, you know,
- 44:04Speaker 4: I don't.
- 44:04Speaker 1: I don't mean it's union stuff.
- 44:06Speaker 2: Yeah, I know, I know, but like if you want
- 44:10Speaker 2: to punish punished correctly, like I don't know. If that
- 44:13Speaker 2: sounds a bit fucked up, I don't know, but it's
- 44:17Speaker 2: just for for me, it's crazy. That's why I think
- 44:20Speaker 2: we get frustrated in Italy with with the referee, you know,
- 44:25Speaker 2: from from the days before VAR, from the days now
- 44:27Speaker 2: with VAR.
- 44:30Speaker 3: Referees then now, I mean, it doesn't matter, but it's
- 44:35Speaker 3: it's just, you know, there's no solution to it. I'm
- 44:38Speaker 3: just not a fan of it.
- 44:40Speaker 2: Like you said, Nick, Yeah, it's findane that he goes
- 44:43Speaker 2: in and admits all the errors, But what's the solution
- 44:45Speaker 2: after there's there's never really a concrete.
- 44:48Speaker 3: Solution and will there be? Is there we can discuss,
- 44:52Speaker 3: we can talk, we can say, and maybe there isn't.
- 44:54Speaker 2: I don't know, but you know, we try to improve
- 44:57Speaker 2: that aspect of the game with the VAR again from
- 45:01Speaker 2: the get go. You know, guys, how I felt about
- 45:03Speaker 2: the var then I think it has made improvements and
- 45:05Speaker 2: strikes in the right direction. Sure, but there's still this
- 45:10Speaker 2: this this this talking point where we're still not hun clear.
- 45:15Speaker 1: Uh.
- 45:15Speaker 2: You know, they introduced, you know, the the kind of
- 45:18Speaker 2: like the NFL. You know, they announced what's what's being
- 45:21Speaker 2: seen and what's being you know, shown, and what the
- 45:23Speaker 2: call is going to be. And the guy's yelling into
- 45:25Speaker 2: the microphone and he doesn't know his own his own voice,
- 45:29Speaker 2: and you know, we see these these clips online and
- 45:33Speaker 2: you know, I think these are things that kind of
- 45:34Speaker 2: still put us backwards rather than forward. So you know,
- 45:38Speaker 2: it's fine that the Rocky wants to go on on
- 45:41Speaker 2: sky or Rye or whatever and say yeahs and uh,
- 45:47Speaker 2: this referee had had a had a mistake here and
- 45:49Speaker 2: this should have been called this way and it wasn't
- 45:51Speaker 2: and we're looking into and and there's no solution at
- 45:54Speaker 2: the end of it. So again we can say cry
- 45:57Speaker 2: and s kick and scream all we want. I don't
- 45:59Speaker 2: think we'll probably see a solution anytime soon. But it's
- 46:02Speaker 2: just the fact that we're still talking about these types
- 46:04Speaker 2: of things all these years later, with with Sadiya, So
- 46:09Speaker 2: you know, if things are but you know, when things
- 46:12Speaker 2: are black and white, just call it the way it should.
- 46:14Speaker 2: If there's that gray zone, I can see where there's
- 46:16Speaker 2: you know, things up for interpretation and you know, all
- 46:19Speaker 2: that rabbit hole of discussion. But it just still bothers
- 46:23Speaker 2: him that we're still going through these, uh, these topics,
- 46:25Speaker 2: you know.
- 46:26Speaker 3: Twenty twenty five said, yeah, so I just wanted about it.
- 46:30Speaker 1: I wish I wish I could suspended from work with Pale. Yeah,
- 46:35Speaker 1: rowing on a vacation.
- 46:36Speaker 3: You know, it's gonna go down to the city of
- 46:39Speaker 3: b SA to to to ref and and whatever.
- 46:43Speaker 2: It's like, okay, so like he's gonna come back in
- 46:46Speaker 2: three match days and funk up again.
- 46:48Speaker 3: Like what like what what are we really doing here?
- 46:50Speaker 4: Like it's well, sometimes you know, like if there could
- 46:52Speaker 4: be a confidence issue, like going down to a league
- 46:55Speaker 4: with the lower stakes, you know, just has less pressure
- 46:59Speaker 4: on on on.
- 47:00Speaker 3: If you can't handle you shouldn't be reffing in a
- 47:01Speaker 3: in a top five league in the world. I'm sorry,
- 47:04Speaker 3: I mean sure, no, I'm Johnny, I'm sorry. Man.
- 47:08Speaker 5: Like you, It's it's like sometimes you know, like I
- 47:11Speaker 5: kind of I'm just gonna play Devil's advocate here, like
- 47:14Speaker 5: it's it's not a bad thing that some like, yes,
- 47:17Speaker 5: refs can make mistakes.
- 47:18Speaker 3: No one, no one is yeahs.
- 47:21Speaker 4: Nobody's imprevious to mistakes.
- 47:25Speaker 5: If you if you, if you trained for it, and
- 47:27Speaker 5: you've done the proper licensing and you have like the
- 47:30Speaker 5: like you've passed the right right tests for it, Like
- 47:34Speaker 5: who's to say you're not allowed to be there now?
- 47:36Speaker 5: Obviously if you keep on sucking up and keep on
- 47:38Speaker 5: fucking up, like after a while, they're not gonna even
- 47:40Speaker 5: give you a city up bam games.
- 47:41Speaker 4: You might just kick you out of the city in general,
- 47:43Speaker 4: you know, like, but that's the thing.
- 47:44Speaker 5: But if they feel like it's okay, well maybe it's
- 47:46Speaker 5: a confidence issue and maybe needs to just you know,
- 47:48Speaker 5: go to a league with lesser stakes. Just rebuild his
- 47:51Speaker 5: confidence in his in his refing skills again and then
- 47:54Speaker 5: call him up again.
- 47:54Speaker 1: Do it.
- 47:55Speaker 5: Like the reason why I'm saying this is because I
- 47:56Speaker 5: compare it to when I would judge you ki events.
- 47:59Speaker 5: It's like like times where I make like I'm judging
- 48:01Speaker 5: you Giventz and I make a major ruling error.
- 48:03Speaker 4: That's that's that's horrible. Even as a soccer ref. When
- 48:05Speaker 4: I was a kid.
- 48:05Speaker 5: I used to make a lot of mistakes and stuff.
- 48:07Speaker 5: But I was a kid, like right, I was like fifteen,
- 48:09Speaker 5: sixte years old. It's different error. But like now as
- 48:12Speaker 5: an adult, as an adult in his thirties, like I
- 48:15Speaker 5: had to, let's say, eat the shit of like being
- 48:18Speaker 5: put in higher positions fucking up, you know, eat the
- 48:23Speaker 5: ship that I that I that I created put get
- 48:25Speaker 5: put in lesser positions just to rebuild my confidence again
- 48:28Speaker 5: and then build myself back up. And now I'm in
- 48:31Speaker 5: positions where it's like I get the leadership roles again.
- 48:34Speaker 5: I get the ability to like, you know, be some
- 48:36Speaker 5: sort of some some form of mentorship. Sometimes you need
- 48:39Speaker 5: that as a ref sometimes you need like a little
- 48:41Speaker 5: reset button. So I feel like as if that's a
- 48:43Speaker 5: good like it's a good thing suspended without pay or
- 48:46Speaker 5: with pay. That's a whole different story. As Nick said,
- 48:48Speaker 5: unions that could probably play a factor. But I know
- 48:52Speaker 5: we want to have the best refs we do because
- 48:55Speaker 5: it is a very very you know, high stakes environment, but.
- 49:00Speaker 4: You're not always going to get it right.
- 49:02Speaker 5: The fact that he's able to come out and apologize
- 49:05Speaker 5: for what he said and saying that admitted that it
- 49:08Speaker 5: was wrong, is huge already. Imagine if he was a
- 49:11Speaker 5: raft that made a mistake and decided not to admit
- 49:12Speaker 5: that it was a mistake or try to find excuses
- 49:14Speaker 5: for it.
- 49:15Speaker 1: He didn't apologize as boss did Rocky the president of.
- 49:18Speaker 5: The OH I misheard that part. Okay, well, so just
- 49:22Speaker 5: let's just scratch off that last little bit. But hey,
- 49:27Speaker 5: if his boss wants to protect him, I guess his
- 49:28Speaker 5: boss wants to protect him. I don't know.
- 49:32Speaker 3: We're going to have this discussion in ten years.
- 49:34Speaker 1: So we could go on and on. We could do
- 49:35Speaker 1: another years of culture guys, which you guys, I think
- 49:38Speaker 1: it's from now our seven year anniversary or something. So
- 49:43Speaker 1: congrats by the way, but oh.
- 49:45Speaker 4: Wow, we've been together for seventy years.
- 49:47Speaker 3: The wee.
- 49:49Speaker 4: Adrian when you take it out for dinner.
- 49:50Speaker 3: Damn it.
- 49:52Speaker 1: Where's the Ring Adri?
- 49:55Speaker 3: No question, no question.
- 49:57Speaker 1: One team who definitely or most like you won't be
- 50:00Speaker 1: and ring this year Fiorentina. Uh bott of the league right,
- 50:03Speaker 1: well not Botto the league seventeenth place. Uh, They're they're
- 50:07Speaker 1: in a unique position. They lost against Como this past weekend,
- 50:11Speaker 1: so Como is one of the you know, the rising
- 50:13Speaker 1: teams obviously in in the city and Fiorentina is kind
- 50:16Speaker 1: of going the other week the other way. This is
- 50:18Speaker 1: a team that you know played in was it was
- 50:22Speaker 1: the conference League final two years ago twenty it was
- 50:25Speaker 1: a twenty three or twenty four.
- 50:27Speaker 3: I already forget it made it twice, No, they made
- 50:28Speaker 3: it twice back to back.
- 50:30Speaker 1: Maybe there, Yeah, yeah, that was both of them. Uh
- 50:34Speaker 1: you know they they haven't they haven't won yet the
- 50:37Speaker 1: season in the in the city, but they are playing
- 50:42Speaker 1: the Conference League tomorrow or sorry, next week against Sigma.
- 50:47Speaker 1: That's an actual team name, by the way, Sigma.
- 50:50Speaker 2: Oh my god, I guess for what is.
- 50:55Speaker 1: No cool Man Conference League. They just make up teams
- 50:58Speaker 1: like super Might playing in a couple of years. Yeah maybe,
- 51:05Speaker 1: but anyways, Uh, you know, this is a team that
- 51:08Speaker 1: you know, maybe growing pains having a Puoli back easily.
- 51:11Speaker 1: You know everything about Poli, right, it's his second thing
- 51:14Speaker 1: with Fiorantinas. Do you think they're gonna hit the panic
- 51:17Speaker 1: button yet or or do you think they just write
- 51:19Speaker 1: it out a bit?
- 51:20Speaker 2: Well, listen, I think it's so early in the season
- 51:23Speaker 2: you kind of maybe have to ride a bit of
- 51:25Speaker 2: the wave.
- 51:26Speaker 1: I know.
- 51:26Speaker 2: Uh, I was listening to a Mew and Wiki podcast
- 51:29Speaker 2: the other night, and they were kind of wrapping up
- 51:31Speaker 2: some of the studio games as well, and uh, they're like,
- 51:34Speaker 2: which which of these coaches are gonna you know eat
- 51:36Speaker 2: the panetone? And you know it's like the conversation of Polio,
- 51:39Speaker 2: like is he gonna eat the petna for with him
- 51:42Speaker 2: in Fiordentina, And you know it's kind of a question mark,
- 51:45Speaker 2: right uh Puoi uh listen, love him or hate him?
- 51:50Speaker 2: I think he's he's able to do a job that
- 51:53Speaker 2: you know, other coaches might not be able to do.
- 51:55Speaker 2: And I thought that, you know, being so familiar with
- 51:58Speaker 2: with Fjordentina and it kind of the second time around
- 52:01Speaker 2: and kind of you know that place in that city
- 52:03Speaker 2: and that that club you know, meaning.
- 52:05Speaker 3: So much to him, you know, in his career. I
- 52:08Speaker 3: thought what they would start off a bit better.
- 52:12Speaker 2: Obviously they had a they had a great you know
- 52:14Speaker 2: campaign last season for their standards. I would say, you know,
- 52:19Speaker 2: they had one of their players, you know, up there
- 52:21Speaker 2: in the couple kind of edit race right and moist
- 52:23Speaker 2: Keen and you know, again even him for Fidentina's kind
- 52:26Speaker 2: of not started the way maybe most of us anticipated,
- 52:28Speaker 2: so Panic Button I don't know.
- 52:32Speaker 3: It all depends on what col Mesto wants to do. Right.
- 52:35Speaker 2: It's you know, they have a project there that that
- 52:37Speaker 2: is is interesting, right, They've they've put a lot of
- 52:41Speaker 2: they put a lot of investment in this in this club.
- 52:45Speaker 2: I think obviously the next step would be, uh, it
- 52:47Speaker 2: would be renovating the stadium, and I know that they
- 52:49Speaker 2: are doing right. I think you see uh and during
- 52:52Speaker 2: the games it looks a bit terrible on TV, right
- 52:54Speaker 2: with all the renovations, but really bringing the Frankie up
- 52:58Speaker 2: to I don't know, I want to say code, but
- 53:01Speaker 2: you know, up to up to a level where it's
- 53:03Speaker 2: it's kind of you know, a better looking stadium and
- 53:06Speaker 2: a better functioning stadium I think is ultimately the goal. Obviously,
- 53:10Speaker 2: the investment in the you know.
- 53:11Speaker 3: The Voa Park.
- 53:13Speaker 2: You know that they that they had so listen, they're
- 53:17Speaker 2: they're they're they're they're trying to get in a direction
- 53:20Speaker 2: where you know, they're able to compete you know, constantly
- 53:24Speaker 2: and competitively every year. So again, I think it might
- 53:29Speaker 2: be a bit of a premature move to to pull
- 53:31Speaker 2: the panic or push the panic. But then you know,
- 53:34Speaker 2: going into match day four, you know you but at
- 53:38Speaker 2: the same time, you kind of have to weigh your options,
- 53:40Speaker 2: uh for Fidentina, you know, is this uh has has
- 53:44Speaker 2: Puoio you know lotched the room has Are the players
- 53:47Speaker 2: really playing for him? Is there you know, a friction
- 53:50Speaker 2: within the squad? You know, I don't know all those answers,
- 53:54Speaker 2: but you know it's just it's you kind of have
- 53:57Speaker 2: to weigh those options, you know.
- 53:58Speaker 3: Going forward.
- 53:59Speaker 2: So I would hope for this Puoi Fiudentina, you know,
- 54:02Speaker 2: partnership to to continue.
- 54:04Speaker 3: If I if I'm if I'm being honest as just
- 54:06Speaker 3: an outsider.
- 54:07Speaker 2: I think that you know, after they you know, they
- 54:11Speaker 2: uh they watch who was it Palladino that they lost,
- 54:17Speaker 2: you know, previous to that, you know he Tealiano right,
- 54:19Speaker 2: so and kind of POI, you know, falling back with
- 54:25Speaker 2: this with this Fidentina side, I honestly thought for a
- 54:29Speaker 2: bit of a better start. But again the cliches is
- 54:32Speaker 2: saying it's not how you starts, how you finish, and
- 54:34Speaker 2: it's it's it's something to to remain to be seen
- 54:37Speaker 2: for me with for Freudentina. So I would say no
- 54:40Speaker 2: on the panic button right away because then we look
- 54:42Speaker 2: at you know, another team at watch.
- 54:44Speaker 3: Like we were speaking about earlier, like do they already
- 54:45Speaker 3: put the panic button on? Sadi? Uh? Two point zero?
- 54:48Speaker 5: Right?
- 54:48Speaker 2: These are two coaches that are coming back to you know,
- 54:51Speaker 2: their old squads and and trying to you know, turn
- 54:55Speaker 2: something out of it.
- 54:55Speaker 3: So I think it's a bit premature, but you keep
- 55:00Speaker 3: it on the back burner.
- 55:01Speaker 2: Just in case, and you need to. Sometimes the grass
- 55:06Speaker 2: isn't always greener on the other side. Who they realistically get.
- 55:09Speaker 2: It's always my favorite, my famous saying with these with
- 55:12Speaker 2: these firings of coaches and Saidie, it's like, yes, okay,
- 55:15Speaker 2: we'll fire this guy, but who are gonna go get
- 55:17Speaker 2: get to replace him?
- 55:18Speaker 3: That's gonna have to start this project again, and kind.
- 55:22Speaker 2: Of you know, the the his players are gonna have
- 55:24Speaker 2: to come in And how are these current players gonna
- 55:27Speaker 2: you know, fight and play under you know this Matt
- 55:29Speaker 2: new manager.
- 55:29Speaker 3: So I'm gonna stick to Poe.
- 55:33Speaker 2: Hopefully Poe gets to being on fire, but the good fire,
- 55:37Speaker 2: not the not the firing fire, right, So we'll we'll
- 55:41Speaker 2: see what happens. But they who do they played this Weeknick?
- 55:45Speaker 2: I didn't catch you get.
- 55:48Speaker 3: It up on the ticker. I missed it earlier.
- 55:50Speaker 1: Uh, genua no Pisa.
- 55:54Speaker 3: Pisa, Right, So that's exactly, it's a good bounce back.
- 55:59Speaker 2: Right with all this negativity out there, right and all
- 56:01Speaker 2: this U always on the hot seat is gonna you know,
- 56:04Speaker 2: panic button this and that, and you know they're not
- 56:06Speaker 2: performing up to their standards. This could be like Jenny said,
- 56:09Speaker 2: a good a good pick me up. Uh, you know,
- 56:11Speaker 2: a good good mouthful of tamsu, right, the good pick
- 56:13Speaker 2: me up. So it's uh, it's a good bounce back.
- 56:17Speaker 2: And and hopefully and again no disrespect to Pisa, but
- 56:20Speaker 2: Fidentina I think should and and and.
- 56:25Speaker 3: Should and could.
- 56:26Speaker 2: Beat the beat Pisa. So we'll we'll see what happens.
- 56:29Speaker 2: But uh, interested to see what what comes with it.
- 56:36Speaker 1: Another another team that's kind of in that same tier
- 56:39Speaker 1: as Ferentina Torino. I saw a posts on this weekend
- 56:42Speaker 1: where the fans were complaining about the management about Cairo.
- 56:46Speaker 1: They lost three nothing against Atalanta. This is another team again,
- 56:51Speaker 1: you know, towards the bottom twelve place four points. It
- 56:55Speaker 1: seems like that's where kind of what Torino has been
- 56:58Speaker 1: at the past couple of years. And even if you
- 57:01Speaker 1: look at their season by season record, this is a
- 57:04Speaker 1: team that qualified for Europa League in nineteen twenty, or
- 57:11Speaker 1: at least played in the Europa League in nineteen twenty.
- 57:14Speaker 1: But since then there you know, season points have been
- 57:16Speaker 1: forty points, thirty seven, fifty fifty fifty three, fifty three,
- 57:19Speaker 1: forty four last year, so they had a nine point
- 57:22Speaker 1: drop from twenty four to twenty five. This is a
- 57:27Speaker 1: team that you know, you almost have to wonder if
- 57:29Speaker 1: owners trip has to change. It almost feels like it's
- 57:34Speaker 1: one of those teams that I hate to say it,
- 57:37Speaker 1: you almost feel like they need to go down to
- 57:39Speaker 1: kind of revive, right kind of. I wouldn't say some
- 57:42Speaker 1: Dodia because some Dota is not back, but even like
- 57:45Speaker 1: a team with Solo or Genoa right the course seas
- 57:48Speaker 1: as well, yeah, Genoa as well, look at Genoa, even Solo,
- 57:51Speaker 1: you maybe just need that one season in city I
- 57:53Speaker 1: B maybe I'm saying that as Juve fan, where I
- 57:56Speaker 1: kind of want to you know, you know, you know,
- 57:58Speaker 1: deep down want to see them fail. But seriously, it's
- 58:02Speaker 1: it's interesting, what's what's you know, what's happening. I know Simone,
- 58:06Speaker 1: you know, he scored I guess two weeks ago in
- 58:10Speaker 1: Roma against Roma. But even even even with Markol Mroney
- 58:16Speaker 1: now again new coach. I don't know is he gonna
- 58:19Speaker 1: be eating the panetoni Johnny anytime soon? Or I do think,
- 58:23Speaker 1: like like Adre just said, it seems like a case
- 58:25Speaker 1: that maybe you just need to let it ride out.
- 58:28Speaker 1: New coach coming to this season. But it's surprising because
- 58:32Speaker 1: Broni did have some success last year with Latsio.
- 58:36Speaker 2: Uh.
- 58:38Speaker 5: That's the thing, like I feel like because if there's
- 58:41Speaker 5: there's there's talent on that roster that it's not gonna
- 58:44Speaker 5: happen like that, like it'll be forever, like you know,
- 58:47Speaker 5: like stagnant, you know, like in this realm of like obscurity.
- 58:51Speaker 5: So it's it's a reset button would be nice, but
- 58:55Speaker 5: I don't think it's gonna come unless like just just
- 58:59Speaker 5: thinks really yeah, like really things do fall apart, you know,
- 59:02Speaker 5: like cussible just like just things just fell apart. But
- 59:06Speaker 5: they were a staple and setia for a good amount
- 59:08Speaker 5: of time too, So it's it's it's not something that's
- 59:11Speaker 5: gonna occur frequently. If it does happen, I have to
- 59:17Speaker 5: agree with you, Nick, I think it does play a
- 59:19Speaker 5: benefit for them. Uh, speaking of reset buttons, like like
- 59:22Speaker 5: you said, with the with the whole ref situation. You know,
- 59:24Speaker 5: like sometimes you just need to you know, just like
- 59:28Speaker 5: just take a step back or go to lesser stakes,
- 59:30Speaker 5: just find find your groove again and then come back up.
- 59:33Speaker 4: You know. It's sometimes it's good.
- 59:35Speaker 5: It would be sucky for Simona though, I especially after
- 59:38Speaker 5: like going to a club that he's gonna be like
- 59:40Speaker 5: their number one guy, so to do that.
- 59:43Speaker 4: But maybe you could be the hero for them, like.
- 59:46Speaker 5: When they go down, just comes back up and you know,
- 59:49Speaker 5: helps them become like a super team again.
- 59:51Speaker 4: I'm just kidding out a super.
- 59:52Speaker 5: Team because it's just it's weird though, because like they
- 59:55Speaker 5: they know how to get young talent for the team.
- 59:58Speaker 5: You know, a team that developed aloty a team that
- 59:59Speaker 5: the well, I mind, you didn't fully develop a Lotti,
- 1:00:02Speaker 5: but you know what I mean, like really gave even.
- 1:00:05Speaker 1: You can help revive Immobile's career before.
- 1:00:08Speaker 5: Exactly Bremner came from there, you know, like it's it's uh,
- 1:00:13Speaker 5: you had we'll give a savage the keep her there.
- 1:00:15Speaker 5: Like it's just it's it's not like as if the
- 1:00:17Speaker 5: team is incapable of producing good players, like or developing
- 1:00:21Speaker 5: good players in a sense of a professional level of sense,
- 1:00:23Speaker 5: like they have that capability.
- 1:00:25Speaker 4: So like I I don't know how to phrase it properly.
- 1:00:31Speaker 4: It's more like they have the pedigree. I guess is
- 1:00:35Speaker 4: probably the word I'm looking for to you know, make
- 1:00:39Speaker 4: like good teams. I dont want to say good teams
- 1:00:41Speaker 4: in a sense of like, Okay, these guys are gonna
- 1:00:42Speaker 4: be world beaters or you know, like Champions League level teams,
- 1:00:45Speaker 4: but they're also gonna be teams that you're gonna be
- 1:00:47Speaker 4: looking at them like, you know what, when you see
- 1:00:49Speaker 4: Tonino in the calendar, he's like, Okay, this is gonna
- 1:00:51Speaker 4: be a tough game. You know, it's a team that
- 1:00:53Speaker 4: should be in the top ten every year. It should
- 1:00:56Speaker 4: be in a tough ten.
- 1:00:57Speaker 3: Yeah.
- 1:00:58Speaker 2: No, just to add on, I think it's also it's
- 1:01:00Speaker 2: it's it's something that these clubs that that are kind
- 1:01:03Speaker 2: of always sit in that you know, ten to thirteen
- 1:01:07Speaker 2: fourteen position every year in the said, yeah, they kind
- 1:01:09Speaker 2: of fall in the same that same rut.
- 1:01:11Speaker 3: Right, they're not fighting for Europe, they're not going to
- 1:01:15Speaker 3: go down there.
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: They're always in that middle pack and and they just
- 1:01:18Speaker 2: feel always constantly comfortable in that thing and nothing is
- 1:01:22Speaker 2: really going to change, right, like unless something like you said,
- 1:01:24Speaker 2: Johnny drastically occurs, right, yeah, they set or or a
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: magical season that they you know, they fight for Europe.
- 1:01:32Speaker 2: But when you're so when you're constantly in that you
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: know Todin know Oudin as you know KAYLIEI for for
- 1:01:43Speaker 2: maybe another club that can kind of fall into that,
- 1:01:46Speaker 2: that that realm of teams you know that just constantly
- 1:01:49Speaker 2: always sit in those in those positions where they're not
- 1:01:52Speaker 2: going to get relegated. And even if they do it,
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: you know, maybe they'll they'll come back fast, but it's
- 1:01:58Speaker 2: they just feel comfortable and they following this thing where
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: it's like we're surviving, we're doing okay, we don't need
- 1:02:05Speaker 2: to do more and hopefully we don't have to do
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: west to kind of you know, kind of really score
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: ourselves over.
- 1:02:10Speaker 3: So, I don't know. And when you have an old
- 1:02:12Speaker 3: the old maybe that old guard of Cairo that you know,
- 1:02:17Speaker 3: we all know how he is right in terms of ownership, but.
- 1:02:22Speaker 2: You know, I think ever since he never he didn't
- 1:02:25Speaker 2: sell Bilati for one hundred million, it's just kind of downhill, right,
- 1:02:28Speaker 2: It's kind of that ludicrous bit of a Bilaughty for
- 1:02:31Speaker 2: one hundred million. Yeah, never was accepted, and again we
- 1:02:35Speaker 2: kind of laugh and joke, but you know, things have
- 1:02:38Speaker 2: just changed ever since.
- 1:02:39Speaker 1: It seems it wasn't even like a bit.
- 1:02:40Speaker 4: It was more like what's his market, Like they asked
- 1:02:42Speaker 4: him what's his market or whatever?
- 1:02:43Speaker 5: Yeah, sorry, yeah, And that's when de la Lentis made
- 1:02:46Speaker 5: his famous comment if if Blati's hundred mill, then Mertans
- 1:02:49Speaker 5: is two hundred you know, yeah, exactly right. Like it's
- 1:02:52Speaker 5: like Biluti at the time was also phenomenal, like he
- 1:02:55Speaker 5: was like he had some strength and like he was
- 1:02:57Speaker 5: a good like striker, but now he's kind of been
- 1:02:59Speaker 5: molded and more towards like a defensive striker, which is
- 1:03:01Speaker 5: the weirdest thing to see.
- 1:03:02Speaker 4: But I digress.
- 1:03:04Speaker 5: Uh, it's I think, to continue on your point there,
- 1:03:09Speaker 5: when it's like when they're like a comfort zone, I
- 1:03:11Speaker 5: don't think it's more of a like I I won't
- 1:03:14Speaker 5: disagree completely that it's a comfort zone. I think it's
- 1:03:16Speaker 5: also like you lose interest, nobody cares anymore, you know,
- 1:03:20Speaker 5: like okay, like eight to twelfth, and it's like it's
- 1:03:22Speaker 5: it's status quo. It's like what what you can generate excitement?
- 1:03:26Speaker 5: And if you don't generate excitement, right, Like, no one's
- 1:03:29Speaker 5: gonna want to go to your games, no one's gonna
- 1:03:31Speaker 5: want to invest in you in terms of like sponsorships
- 1:03:35Speaker 5: and whatnot. You know, like you have to you have
- 1:03:36Speaker 5: to fight tooth and claw to like just get some
- 1:03:39Speaker 5: kind of ground gained on your on you on your
- 1:03:43Speaker 5: let's say your fellow clubs and STEADI ah, you know,
- 1:03:46Speaker 5: like you need to stand out. And if your team
- 1:03:48Speaker 5: has constantly finished from eight to twelfth place, how do
- 1:03:50Speaker 5: you stand out?
- 1:03:51Speaker 4: You know what I'm saying, like what do you do?
- 1:03:53Speaker 3: Like what you're gonna throw?
- 1:03:54Speaker 5: Like you're gonna thrive on your history pre SUPERGA accident error.
- 1:03:58Speaker 5: Like I'm not shooting, I'm not talking about that accident,
- 1:04:00Speaker 5: but I'm saying like, like you know what I mean,
- 1:04:02Speaker 5: Like it's the history is there, right, This is the
- 1:04:04Speaker 5: history is there.
- 1:04:05Speaker 3: That's the thing.
- 1:04:06Speaker 4: The history is there.
- 1:04:07Speaker 5: But ever since that, you know, like that era of
- 1:04:11Speaker 5: the team, you know, it's it's maybe like a bright
- 1:04:15Speaker 5: spot here or there, but it's way too far few
- 1:04:17Speaker 5: in between that you it's hard to create even as
- 1:04:21Speaker 5: an investor, you know, it's like why would I the
- 1:04:22Speaker 5: only reason why would invest in Torino is if I
- 1:04:24Speaker 5: have a chance to make a lot of money, Like
- 1:04:26Speaker 5: if like, okay, i they're they're my investment value is
- 1:04:29Speaker 5: so low that the gains that can get from this
- 1:04:32Speaker 5: is almost too good.
- 1:04:33Speaker 3: To be true.
- 1:04:34Speaker 5: You know, like you're not gonna like it's true. It's
- 1:04:39Speaker 5: it's business at the end of the day. Right, So,
- 1:04:41Speaker 5: so like you have and how do you create value
- 1:04:43Speaker 5: for the team by your assets? Your assets being your players. Right,
- 1:04:47Speaker 5: if you develop a good team to have good players
- 1:04:50Speaker 5: that basically you know, like people want to go watch
- 1:04:53Speaker 5: they like they have value themselves, a team gains value,
- 1:04:55Speaker 5: and if the team starts doing well in competitions, that's
- 1:04:58Speaker 5: even more value for the team. So I mean it's
- 1:05:01Speaker 5: right now would be a good time for like an
- 1:05:03Speaker 5: angel investor to come into the team and try their
- 1:05:05Speaker 5: best to build them back up. But unless they like
- 1:05:08Speaker 5: have a situation where they're just gonna Like Tourino's not poor,
- 1:05:11Speaker 5: is what I'm trying to say, Like the city of
- 1:05:12Speaker 5: Totino is not poor.
- 1:05:14Speaker 4: But like if you also get like these rich.
- 1:05:16Speaker 5: Investors coming in, I just want like you know, like
- 1:05:18Speaker 5: even like these these outside investors coming in buying parts
- 1:05:20Speaker 5: of the team to give them more funding or more
- 1:05:22Speaker 5: of a direction I guess to kind of like like
- 1:05:25Speaker 5: a better vision for a team, then why not comfort
- 1:05:29Speaker 5: You're right, there is there is a sense where it's like, Okay,
- 1:05:31Speaker 5: we're always gonna stand and said, yeah, so we don't
- 1:05:33Speaker 5: have to try so hard anymore to to really build
- 1:05:35Speaker 5: up this team. But also but also it's like, okay, cool,
- 1:05:39Speaker 5: but if you want to be in the punching levels
- 1:05:42Speaker 5: of European competition, again, we need to do something here
- 1:05:45Speaker 5: because it's it's like you're moving out talent.
- 1:05:48Speaker 4: You're moving out talent.
- 1:05:49Speaker 5: Yeah, you're getting maybe once in a while it might
- 1:05:50Speaker 5: it be any like talent coming in and whatnot, but
- 1:05:53Speaker 5: it's is this talent it's really going to make the
- 1:05:55Speaker 5: difference from your team from being middle of the table
- 1:05:58Speaker 5: to potentially top eight, top six, top like depending on
- 1:06:02Speaker 5: obviously if you want to go be Dali a top seven,
- 1:06:04Speaker 5: if you want to say it's uh, it's really unfortunate
- 1:06:07Speaker 5: to see because it's like to the point where it's like, yeah,
- 1:06:10Speaker 5: they have like.
- 1:06:12Speaker 4: Like the like the derby between.
- 1:06:14Speaker 5: Juve and Torino, It's like it's not really like even
- 1:06:16Speaker 5: though it's it's quote unquote a Derby, but it's like
- 1:06:19Speaker 5: we all know what the results can end up being,
- 1:06:21Speaker 5: you know what I mean, Like it doesn't feel like
- 1:06:22Speaker 5: like no, but like no, because I'm saying this in
- 1:06:24Speaker 5: the sense where it's like when it's like like, for example,
- 1:06:27Speaker 5: when it's Inter uve A, you can't really tell what
- 1:06:30Speaker 5: the results gonna be Milan Inter you don't know what
- 1:06:32Speaker 5: the results gonna be.
- 1:06:33Speaker 4: It Alma Latsu you won't know. Uh, Napoli Roma, you
- 1:06:36Speaker 4: don't know, Napoli Juve, you don't know. You know, it's
- 1:06:39Speaker 4: always gonna be an exciting, tough game, But then it
- 1:06:41Speaker 4: goes You've Torino.
- 1:06:42Speaker 5: You're like, I mean, and it's it's not exactly like
- 1:06:46Speaker 5: I'm not hating on Uve, Like I as much as
- 1:06:48Speaker 5: I like to hate on Uve, it's not even it's
- 1:06:50Speaker 5: it's not Uvents. It's his fault that their inner city
- 1:06:52Speaker 5: rivals suck. It's for lack of a vetertori, you know.
- 1:06:56Speaker 5: And it's kind of tough because it's kind of tough
- 1:06:58Speaker 5: because like when you're inner city rival is one of
- 1:07:02Speaker 5: the big threes in the league, plus one of the
- 1:07:04Speaker 5: biggest teams in Europe, Like, how can you even compete
- 1:07:07Speaker 5: with that? In terms of interest, it's like the fan
- 1:07:10Speaker 5: base is like, oh, we're just getting like unless like
- 1:07:12Speaker 5: you know, like you really paint Juventus as the scumbag organization.
- 1:07:15Speaker 4: Which I mean, we don't know what the truth is.
- 1:07:20Speaker 4: It's it's hard, it's it's so tough for Torino.
- 1:07:23Speaker 3: It's so tough, David every time.
- 1:07:25Speaker 5: Yes, so I know I'm going on a big grand
- 1:07:27Speaker 5: Sorry for like really diverting this argument and stuff, but uh,
- 1:07:34Speaker 5: oh my god, what loves do my train of thought
- 1:07:35Speaker 5: found my train of thought. But in terms of Torino,
- 1:07:38Speaker 5: I really hope they do have a chance of figuring
- 1:07:41Speaker 5: out something to come back to like what they were
- 1:07:43Speaker 5: or as a scary team in a sense because you
- 1:07:46Speaker 5: still want to respect them as that team.
- 1:07:47Speaker 4: But as time goes on, it's looking less.
- 1:07:52Speaker 3: And less and also just another thing charge I don't
- 1:07:54Speaker 3: want to make this long than it has to be,
- 1:07:56Speaker 3: but you know, just.
- 1:07:57Speaker 2: The constant change of coaches, the constant change of players,
- 1:08:00Speaker 2: it's like it's like never to you can never set
- 1:08:04Speaker 2: a foundation and kind of like build, you know, for that.
- 1:08:07Speaker 2: They just lost their starting keeper who has been one
- 1:08:09Speaker 2: of the better keepers in this league for the last
- 1:08:12Speaker 2: couple of seasons now you know, clean sheets, standing on
- 1:08:15Speaker 2: his head, playing big factors in games, right, making those
- 1:08:19Speaker 2: time we saved as a as a as a keeper.
- 1:08:23Speaker 2: You know, I don't know, I forget to replacing his name,
- 1:08:25Speaker 2: but like or whoever's you know starting between the six
- 1:08:27Speaker 2: for them now. But you know, there's constant changes of
- 1:08:31Speaker 2: coaches and just you know, no all of these teams,
- 1:08:35Speaker 2: it's like, yeah, there's a direction, but like it's kind
- 1:08:37Speaker 2: of like a foggy one, like we're not really sure
- 1:08:40Speaker 2: like where we're Like I said, like you know, you're
- 1:08:43Speaker 2: just kind of you're you're here, You're gonna just stay,
- 1:08:46Speaker 2: You're gonna do You're gonna It's like it's like, okay,
- 1:08:49Speaker 2: like it, there's not way much more to it. So
- 1:08:51Speaker 2: I agree with what your points on. I know it
- 1:08:53Speaker 2: was a bit of a tangent, but I agree with
- 1:08:55Speaker 2: what you're saying. And you know, it's it's it's it's
- 1:08:59Speaker 2: kind of it is where it is right that there's
- 1:09:00Speaker 2: not like un why some miracle happens a lot of
- 1:09:04Speaker 2: these middle of the table teams with how you know,
- 1:09:10Speaker 2: how much the you know, the league actually you know
- 1:09:13Speaker 2: generates for these types of clubs or how much these
- 1:09:15Speaker 2: clubs generates in our our league with with all the
- 1:09:18Speaker 2: financials of it, you know, and that's a whole other
- 1:09:20Speaker 2: part for another time. But you know, you you you
- 1:09:24Speaker 2: struggle and you kind of just sit pretty at you know,
- 1:09:27Speaker 2: twelfth place, fourteenth, eleventh, right like you you don't really
- 1:09:32Speaker 2: go anywhere more than that. So it's excuse me, it's
- 1:09:37Speaker 2: it's just it's unfortunate, but it kind of just unfortunately
- 1:09:40Speaker 2: it is what it is.
- 1:09:41Speaker 4: Stupid question. And also do you get Godi also come
- 1:09:43Speaker 4: from Torino?
- 1:09:45Speaker 3: No, he was on Monza.
- 1:09:46Speaker 4: Was Monza?
- 1:09:47Speaker 3: Okay?
- 1:09:47Speaker 2: My bad?
- 1:09:49Speaker 1: And and Torino. So they play Copitalia tomorrow against Pizza Coptalia.
- 1:09:54Speaker 1: Results obviously we spoke about about Milan. But yeah, Vanetzia
- 1:10:00Speaker 1: he beat Verona today in the exciting zero zero until
- 1:10:03Speaker 1: five formed penalties. Uh sorry, Vanansa beat Hels Verona and
- 1:10:07Speaker 1: then Parma beat Vansian pellties.
- 1:10:09Speaker 3: Uh so twice there I did say it again, ver
- 1:10:17Speaker 3: Yeah five for pies.
- 1:10:19Speaker 1: Parma beats Spetsia penalties after two games. Palermo did lose
- 1:10:26Speaker 1: against I'm a bit sad about that one, but yeah,
- 1:10:30Speaker 1: tomorrow Genoa Genoa against City Beta Empolie to Reno pizza.
- 1:10:35Speaker 1: It's interesting because last time Milan played each other round
- 1:10:38Speaker 1: of sixtees. That's pretty early on for a big, big matchup,
- 1:10:41Speaker 1: but those games are until December. We got time. But guys,
