• 1:24
  Speaker 4: I got a lot going on right now with the school.
• 1:27
  Speaker 4: I have to prep my kids for big tests coming up.
• 1:30
  Speaker 4: I have like football season that just started for my
• 1:33
  Speaker 4: for my bathroom girls. Uh you know again, it's like
• 1:37
  Speaker 4: topics I have to prep topics for.
• 1:39
  Speaker 5: I have just just life of a teacher. That's all
• 1:41
  Speaker 5: it is.
• 1:43
  Speaker 6: Should we call you mister Mista.
• 1:46
  Speaker 5: Julian ZeVA?
• 1:47
  Speaker 6: Thank you.
• 1:50
  Speaker 2: That?
• 1:51
  Speaker 5: Yeah?
• 1:53
  Speaker 6: Uh yeah.
• 1:54
  Speaker 1: So the big the big news this week before we
• 1:57
  Speaker 1: get into the city. I mean more more that it's
• 1:59
  Speaker 1: it's recent Batalia. Two pretty good games, you know what
• 2:02
  Speaker 1: for a competition that the first leg of the semifinals
• 2:05
  Speaker 1: that weren't as exciting as I know, that finished two
• 2:09
  Speaker 1: to in the first league.
• 2:09
  Speaker 6: But Como Winter was nil nil. It was a great great.
• 2:14
  Speaker 1: Second League of the Cope tally semifinals. Yesterday, Inter three
• 2:18
  Speaker 1: to two over Como a late goal from shoot eighty
• 2:21
  Speaker 1: ninth minute inter comeback. They're down to nothing. They came
• 2:25
  Speaker 1: back two goals from hot Gan to tie up, and
• 2:28
  Speaker 1: they they came back to win it in the eighty
• 2:30
  Speaker 1: ninth minute. Look We'll start with that Como, it's a
• 2:34
  Speaker 1: team kind of kind of on I wouldn't say it,
• 2:38
  Speaker 1: I would say downslope a bit. Maybe reality is hitting
• 2:42
  Speaker 1: them a bit. They've lost i think too straight in
• 2:44
  Speaker 1: the city. You've has passed them in the Champions League standings.
• 2:48
  Speaker 1: It felt like this was this was this had to
• 2:51
  Speaker 1: be one of their goals, right, winning the Colpi Italia.
• 2:53
  Speaker 1: I'm sure their goal is definitely still finishing top four
• 2:56
  Speaker 1: and qualifying for the Champions League. But now they're out
• 2:59
  Speaker 1: of Cope Italia. They're currently outside top four. I'm wouldn't
• 3:02
  Speaker 1: go as far as saying it's gonna be a disappointing
• 3:04
  Speaker 1: season for Como, but where they were let's say two
• 3:06
  Speaker 1: months ago, three months ago, uh, compared to now, it's
• 3:10
  Speaker 1: it's it's it. It sucks for their fans, right, but
• 3:16
  Speaker 1: again it's inter guys. This is the best team in
• 3:17
  Speaker 1: the city as so no surprise they're going back to
• 3:19
  Speaker 1: the COVID Tally final. I don't know if you guys
• 3:21
  Speaker 1: had a chance to watch the game. I know Jenny
• 3:23
  Speaker 1: were busy, but uh, you know what, what do you
• 3:25
  Speaker 1: think even about the whole CMO slip and slide, These
• 3:29
  Speaker 1: past few weeks.
• 3:31
  Speaker 4: I mean it's I I think that the bill was
• 3:36
  Speaker 4: due at some point, Like it's they were playing with
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: house money, like I forget them to be top eight
• 3:41
  Speaker 4: this year, and they're definitely doing that and more, you know,
• 3:46
  Speaker 4: with their season.
• 3:47
  Speaker 5: But it's it's it wasn't sustainable.
• 3:50
  Speaker 4: It's it's they have they have something good in place, right,
• 3:53
  Speaker 4: It's it's something that is obviously yielding results as you
• 3:59
  Speaker 4: can tell, like you know, being in the top four
• 4:01
  Speaker 4: for two months is something huge, like when it's like
• 4:04
  Speaker 4: usually like the normal like the regular crew, and all
• 4:07
  Speaker 4: of a sudden it's like, oh you see Como there,
• 4:10
  Speaker 4: massive surprise. Faberguts is doing a good job with the
• 4:13
  Speaker 4: team managing them well. They're backed, as we know, like
• 4:18
  Speaker 4: by a very big group. But like I said, the
• 4:22
  Speaker 4: main question that you have going into next season now
• 4:25
  Speaker 4: you want to obviously try to finish as high as
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: possible to try to earn whatever money you can get.
• 4:30
  Speaker 4: In Sadi ah Kopi Talian money would have been nice
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: to have too for financial reasons, even though they're not
• 4:36
  Speaker 4: begging for money. But the main question is how do
• 4:38
  Speaker 4: you replace a player like Eco Pass the upcoming season.
• 4:41
  Speaker 5: That's something that we've talked about before. I'm not going
• 4:43
  Speaker 5: to waste too much time again.
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: Everyone who watches Citia knows that he's great, and there's
• 4:48
  Speaker 4: very it's like niney nine point nine percent sure that
• 4:50
  Speaker 4: he's heading back to Real Madrid come summertime. So they're
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: definitely not gonna do anything about it. So we'll see
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: what I wonder, like what what Como should do right now?
• 5:05
  Speaker 4: Like I wonder what is to like, what is your
• 5:08
  Speaker 4: game plan to stop the bleeding?
• 5:10
  Speaker 5: Because hold on, I think I have the recent record here.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: Their last three games were a draw, loss and a loss,
• 5:16
  Speaker 4: you know, and they're always like marginal lose losses.
• 5:19
  Speaker 5: You know, they're all one goal losses. It's are the
• 5:22
  Speaker 5: wheels starting to fall off the wagon? Probably?
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: So now this is where your mental fortitude comes in.
• 5:28
  Speaker 4: How do you gain control of that again? Because you
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: could risk losing your your Europa League spot to it
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: Oma at this point, you know. And and hey, by
• 5:37
  Speaker 4: men Oma, I mean like oh mymasta, but like I
• 5:41
  Speaker 4: would to complain, but I'm just saying, like they're breathing
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: down your necks. It's you gotta get serious.
• 5:47
  Speaker 3: So.
• 5:49
  Speaker 2: Find them.
• 5:50
  Speaker 4: Yes, it does suck losing to Inter. But you said
• 5:52
  Speaker 4: up perfectly before, Nick Inter is Inter. They're firing all cylinders.
• 5:58
  Speaker 4: They have such a lead for the school that too.
• 6:00
  Speaker 4: I think we'll get there when we talk about it.
• 6:02
  Speaker 4: But I think this weekend was pretty much but the
• 6:04
  Speaker 4: lot the coffin was for the season, and I don't
• 6:09
  Speaker 4: think it should be too disappointed if you lose to enter,
• 6:11
  Speaker 4: especially if you're a team like Como. So I think
• 6:15
  Speaker 4: your best bet right now is to just like you
• 6:16
  Speaker 4: know what, accept the laws, accept the defeat, try to
• 6:20
  Speaker 4: gain some focus, try to like regain control and you know,
• 6:25
  Speaker 4: get get back to in the winning column for Citia
• 6:27
  Speaker 4: because your your your your European spots are European chats
• 6:32
  Speaker 4: is sorry are dwindling away?
• 6:35
  Speaker 2: Yeah, just other things I want to add to that.
• 6:36
  Speaker 3: I mean, listen, I think for for Como and you
• 6:39
  Speaker 3: know where they are right now is is is a bonus,
• 6:45
  Speaker 3: like you know, the who would have thought? And I
• 6:47
  Speaker 3: know Johnny is our nostra damis on the show right
• 6:50
  Speaker 3: but you know predicting, you know, for them to even
• 6:53
  Speaker 3: finish top ten was was was a big achievement. And listen,
• 6:56
  Speaker 3: we're not here to to you know, celebrate these small victories.
• 7:00
  Speaker 3: But you know, from coming up to City A B
• 7:04
  Speaker 3: to being top ten to now being in the fight
• 7:07
  Speaker 3: for Europe, I mean, no matter what ends up happening,
• 7:10
  Speaker 3: I think it's it's it's it's it's another building block
• 7:14
  Speaker 3: on with this team. So, you know, I see people saying, oh, yeah,
• 7:20
  Speaker 3: you know, the wheels are falling off or whatever, like
• 7:22
  Speaker 3: we were saying.
• 7:23
  Speaker 2: But at the same time, it's like.
• 7:25
  Speaker 3: I don't think any of us had them or I
• 7:27
  Speaker 3: don't think many people even would have predicted them to
• 7:30
  Speaker 3: be where they are currently.
• 7:31
  Speaker 2: So for them to be in the top four race,
• 7:33
  Speaker 2: for them even to be.
• 7:34
  Speaker 3: In the in the Europa League Europa League race, I
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: think is something positive. It's not to fucking you know, preach,
• 7:43
  Speaker 3: preach the gospel for Como, but it's it's it's to
• 7:46
  Speaker 3: be a realist, Like, you know, this team is playing well.
• 7:51
  Speaker 3: Yes they have fallen a bit off and maybe reality
• 7:54
  Speaker 3: is starting to hit, but they were never a top
• 7:57
  Speaker 3: four team to begin with, and they're.
• 7:59
  Speaker 2: Still in that somewhat of a fight.
• 8:02
  Speaker 3: If it's not going to be top four, it'll potentially
• 8:05
  Speaker 3: be you know.
• 8:06
  Speaker 2: A Europa League spot.
• 8:07
  Speaker 3: They're fighting with Roma Atalanta currently, so I think, you know,
• 8:12
  Speaker 3: for Como, no matter what happens come the end of
• 8:16
  Speaker 3: the season, because there's only five games left, I think
• 8:18
  Speaker 3: it's it's a it's a positive season. Maybe some fans
• 8:22
  Speaker 3: don't agree with that, that's that, that's fine. But for me,
• 8:26
  Speaker 3: from our perspective at the beginning of the season, having
• 8:30
  Speaker 3: them maybe in the top ten again, sure, but realistically
• 8:35
  Speaker 3: fighting with five games left for a European spot, I
• 8:38
  Speaker 3: don't think many people had that. So for me, it's
• 8:41
  Speaker 3: a it's a plus of a season. The factor of
• 8:45
  Speaker 3: Nico Paz leaving at the end of the summer or
• 8:47
  Speaker 3: at the end of the year, sorry, in the summer,
• 8:49
  Speaker 3: Like Johnny mentioned, I think it's something that we've we've
• 8:52
  Speaker 3: kind of discussed a lot, like he said, and how
• 8:56
  Speaker 3: do they become how do they not become the next Bologna,
• 9:00
  Speaker 3: I think is probably the other talking point. Right we
• 9:03
  Speaker 3: saw Bonia do some incredible things and and getting gett
• 9:07
  Speaker 3: into Europe and and all that Champions League, and you know,
• 9:10
  Speaker 3: we knew the the team was going to.
• 9:12
  Speaker 2: Get picked apart.
• 9:13
  Speaker 3: It's unfortunate there they weren't able to they were able
• 9:17
  Speaker 3: to sustain some sort of quote unquote success obviously the
• 9:21
  Speaker 3: Copytalia win last season kind of maybe uh, you know,
• 9:23
  Speaker 3: cover some things up, but not to stay in that
• 9:28
  Speaker 3: top four fight you know in the following seasons. Is
• 9:31
  Speaker 3: is something that's maybe disappointing. But let's see how Como,
• 9:35
  Speaker 3: if Como can can do better than that. But again
• 9:40
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, like I said just earlier, no
• 9:43
  Speaker 3: matter what happens, you know there, their season I think
• 9:46
  Speaker 3: is is is.
• 9:48
  Speaker 2: A good one in my eyes at least.
• 9:50
  Speaker 3: And you know, listen, you you go out to Inter
• 9:53
  Speaker 3: in in the semi finals of Copalia competition that again
• 9:57
  Speaker 3: maybe people didn't really have them, you know, in that
• 10:00
  Speaker 3: semi finals, so you lost to a better team. It's
• 10:04
  Speaker 3: unfortunate how they lost, being up to nil, I'll say that,
• 10:07
  Speaker 3: and and being critical on that for sure, because you're
• 10:10
  Speaker 3: up to nil against an Inter team that you know
• 10:14
  Speaker 3: is strong. I think they could have done better to
• 10:17
  Speaker 3: close the game. It's unfortunately they left it opened and
• 10:19
  Speaker 3: they left it for the taking. And Inter, like Jenny said,
• 10:22
  Speaker 3: is Inter is gonna be in there, so we have
• 10:24
  Speaker 3: to expect these things, you know, so they are the
• 10:26
  Speaker 3: best team and said, yeah, if we like to say
• 10:27
  Speaker 3: it or not. And you know, they're on to another
• 10:30
  Speaker 3: final to face to face Lotso, so we'll see.
• 10:35
  Speaker 2: How things go. But it's clear that Inter.
• 10:39
  Speaker 3: Wants to try to do the double this year in
• 10:42
  Speaker 3: my eyes at least, right they're they're pretty much there
• 10:44
  Speaker 3: for the Sculetto and you know there are a game
• 10:46
  Speaker 3: away in May against Lotso for the cop Tali as well,
• 10:49
  Speaker 3: so we'll see what happens there. But yeah, it should
• 10:52
  Speaker 3: be an interesting final with Watso being the other team there.
• 10:56
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, and you know, maybe Cuomo needs to do
• 11:00
  Speaker 1: like Atlanta just playing the Europa League for a couple
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: of seasons before making the champions leg.
• 11:04
  Speaker 3: Yeah, it's a building bug, right, like I mean, it's
• 11:07
  Speaker 3: it's nobody expected this, Like I think only Johnny thought
• 11:10
  Speaker 3: they were going to be a top ten team right
• 11:12
  Speaker 3: like last season, right so coming up from City B
• 11:15
  Speaker 3: what like two three years ago, now like that's going
• 11:17
  Speaker 3: to be and they're already like in the European fight,
• 11:20
  Speaker 3: Like I don't know, like when was the last City
• 11:23
  Speaker 3: of B.
• 11:23
  Speaker 2: Team to do that? Like I don't know, Like.
• 11:28
  Speaker 5: Me, Pa seventeen played.
• 11:30
  Speaker 1: Through, maybe the closest would be, Like I know, it's
• 11:35
  Speaker 1: a distance because Bologna I think they had they were
• 11:38
  Speaker 1: in the city of be about ten years ago. Maybe
• 11:40
  Speaker 1: that's the closest. So it takes time. It takes time.
• 11:42
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it takes time.
• 11:43
  Speaker 5: But this will say.
• 11:47
  Speaker 6: Yeah, but before this short.
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: Span of a time like, yeah, it hasn't been done.
• 11:52
  Speaker 3: And again people listening to this conduct quotas and and
• 11:55
  Speaker 3: get back to us on on on the Fox.
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: But in recent memory, I don't see a team in
• 12:02
  Speaker 2: this short time span doing what they're doing.
• 12:05
  Speaker 3: Okay, yeah, the money invested on all that, they're not
• 12:07
  Speaker 3: a typical city of the team.
• 12:09
  Speaker 2: What just say? Sure that that does play a factor.
• 12:12
  Speaker 2: But still you can you.
• 12:14
  Speaker 3: Can have all the money in the world, you can
• 12:16
  Speaker 3: buy everything in the way that you want in the
• 12:17
  Speaker 3: world and still not have the results.
• 12:19
  Speaker 2: So I don't know. Listen for me, it's it's a
• 12:22
  Speaker 2: plus wherever they fall. But we'll we'll have to wait
• 12:27
  Speaker 2: and see.
• 12:28
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, so I guess good good Uh transition into
• 12:33
  Speaker 1: the other Copeita how the final semifinal featuring Atalanta another
• 12:37
  Speaker 1: great game.
• 12:37
  Speaker 6: Look to to uh to two.
• 12:40
  Speaker 1: After the first leg, look look last Ye's scored in
• 12:43
  Speaker 1: the forty seventh minute Deily Bashiro. Atlanta responded with pazzle
• 12:48
  Speaker 1: in the fifty in the fifty first in the eighty seventh,
• 12:52
  Speaker 1: USA in the eighty ninth, and it seems like it
• 12:54
  Speaker 1: was today.
• 12:54
  Speaker 6: Was the same thing.
• 12:55
  Speaker 1: Romanli in the eighty fourth, Pazzolo in the eighty sixth.
• 12:58
  Speaker 1: So Latio pretty much blew three league three leads, yes,
• 13:03
  Speaker 1: one goal leads across these two games. It goes to
• 13:07
  Speaker 1: penalty today and the star of the show is at Amanta.
• 13:10
  Speaker 1: Four penalty saves, which is in seeing out of five shots. Yes,
• 13:14
  Speaker 1: Rasprador scored the first, but then he stops sma Acasta
• 13:17
  Speaker 1: Pezlis and the guitar there.
• 13:19
  Speaker 6: When I saw.
• 13:20
  Speaker 1: The score after and that there was four penny misses,
• 13:25
  Speaker 1: I was like, I was like, what is this? The
• 13:27
  Speaker 1: Christante shoot four times and he just up for Atalanta
• 13:30
  Speaker 1: and he shoot four times.
• 13:32
  Speaker 6: But I mean I was surprised for I know.
• 13:35
  Speaker 1: That's I'm referencing the referencing the bad thing that happened
• 13:41
  Speaker 1: almost a month.
• 13:43
  Speaker 5: Uh, guys, yeah, he scored in the Euros a few
• 13:48
  Speaker 5: years back for us.
• 13:49
  Speaker 6: He did.
• 13:50
  Speaker 5: He did anyways, an sorry, I'll stop being an asshole.
• 13:55
  Speaker 1: No, but it's crazy still four stops by Mata. This
• 13:57
  Speaker 1: is a guy who was who's only played one game
• 13:59
  Speaker 1: for the twenty one team, and now I know he's
• 14:02
  Speaker 1: you know, his name's come up if you follow the city,
• 14:04
  Speaker 1: you kind of knew who he was throughout the season.
• 14:06
  Speaker 1: It's I'm pretty sure his first full season with Latio,
• 14:11
  Speaker 1: but uh, you know, right away he's.
• 14:13
  Speaker 6: Put his name on the map.
• 14:14
  Speaker 1: We'll see how much more playing time he gets in
• 14:16
  Speaker 1: in the capital city. But yeah, look a lot for
• 14:21
  Speaker 1: Latso to go back to the final. I forget did
• 14:23
  Speaker 1: they play intern in the final already? I think in
• 14:25
  Speaker 1: twenty nineteen if I'm not mistaken, or was that or
• 14:27
  Speaker 1: was that Latsuo at Lanta twenty nineteen Lotso beat at
• 14:31
  Speaker 1: Talanta so recently backs when I entered in the meet
• 14:35
  Speaker 1: in the final in never mind, But look, look we're
• 14:39
  Speaker 1: gonna see a good final between the team who's definitely
• 14:42
  Speaker 1: wants a trophy. Lato hasn't won a trophy since that
• 14:46
  Speaker 1: since twenty nineteen. I know they had won the Super
• 14:48
  Speaker 1: Kopa that year.
• 14:50
  Speaker 6: Two.
• 14:53
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I don't know if you guys have had a
• 14:54
  Speaker 1: chance to watch today's game. When you guys think of
• 14:56
  Speaker 1: the penalties and yeah all that, yeah, and I.
• 15:00
  Speaker 3: Got to I got to catch the game luckily today,
• 15:03
  Speaker 3: So yeah, man, like you said, Nick, it was a
• 15:05
  Speaker 3: carbon copy. It seemed like of the first leg and
• 15:09
  Speaker 3: if anybody watched the first leg it was it was,
• 15:12
  Speaker 3: in my eyes, were super exciting and this game was
• 15:16
  Speaker 3: I think the super exciting part only came at the end,
• 15:19
  Speaker 3: but because the first eighty four minutes was was you know,
• 15:22
  Speaker 3: back and forth, just you know, stalemate. But yeah, man,
• 15:27
  Speaker 3: this is this is last year in a nutshell.
• 15:29
  Speaker 2: It seems like, you know, they're uh to reference our friends.
• 15:33
  Speaker 3: On me on weekly podcast, you know, doctor Jaco, mister Hylazzo,
• 15:36
  Speaker 3: that's what they he should call them, and it's it's
• 15:39
  Speaker 3: absolutely true.
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: So you know, kudos to them.
• 15:43
  Speaker 3: And we had our friend Biagio on you know a
• 15:45
  Speaker 3: handful of weeks ago now and I think he even
• 15:47
  Speaker 3: said it then. You know, this, this Corpytalia is is
• 15:51
  Speaker 3: is the last thing for Lato to play for and listen,
• 15:53
  Speaker 3: they're going to the final and rightfully so, because as
• 15:57
  Speaker 3: much as Atalanta has been up and down throughout this year,
• 16:01
  Speaker 3: they're still under Palladino. And again, I know I had
• 16:05
  Speaker 3: predicted them to finish tenth in the school head in
• 16:07
  Speaker 3: the in the in the city season with with Urache
• 16:10
  Speaker 3: at the Helm. They made the switch to Palladino, and
• 16:13
  Speaker 3: I think it's been a breath.
• 16:14
  Speaker 2: Of fresh air.
• 16:14
  Speaker 3: He brings so much more to this Atlanta team and
• 16:17
  Speaker 3: they play well. So to be able to go to
• 16:20
  Speaker 3: Bergamo in the second leg and and put up a
• 16:23
  Speaker 3: fight against a quality team like Atalanta, I think it's
• 16:27
  Speaker 3: it's a chapo and it's a kudos to Toulaso so.
• 16:31
  Speaker 2: But yeah, Eduardo a Mota, I mean, what a performance.
• 16:35
  Speaker 3: Twenty one years old, a player that wasn't supposed to
• 16:40
  Speaker 3: even probably get a sniff of the Lazo goal this season.
• 16:44
  Speaker 3: I think he was even on on loan at Catanzado
• 16:47
  Speaker 3: if I'm not mistaken, or the Giant on one of
• 16:49
  Speaker 3: these one.
• 16:49
  Speaker 6: Of the Jina orry.
• 16:50
  Speaker 3: So this is half the season. Yeah, yeah, six months. Yeah,
• 16:54
  Speaker 3: it's not even like he's been in the winter. I
• 16:56
  Speaker 3: was gonna say that, but I'll let you I let
• 16:58
  Speaker 3: you go on there. But uh so, yeah, like listen,
• 17:01
  Speaker 3: this guy wasn't even in the in the cards, like
• 17:05
  Speaker 3: you know a handful of months ago, and you know
• 17:07
  Speaker 3: he slots in with the Profodel injury and Sadi you know,
• 17:11
  Speaker 3: throws him in there, and listen, I think he's repaid
• 17:13
  Speaker 3: his faith, you know. Ever since, like yeah, okay, the
• 17:16
  Speaker 3: season in Sadiyah hasn't gone maybe according to plan for
• 17:19
  Speaker 3: a lotso because I think where they they're they're where
• 17:23
  Speaker 3: they're ninth, tenth something like that. Ninth, yeah, yeah, ninth
• 17:28
  Speaker 3: in the city in the city at table. So it's
• 17:30
  Speaker 3: it's nothing to to glamorous. But listen, you're going to
• 17:34
  Speaker 3: a Cope Talia final at home May thirteenth, like it's
• 17:37
  Speaker 3: all to play for against obviously a good opponent in
• 17:41
  Speaker 3: an in there.
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: But for me, Latsu has.
• 17:44
  Speaker 3: Nothing to nothing to really lose in terms of you know,
• 17:47
  Speaker 3: in terms of you know, quote unquote nothing to lose
• 17:50
  Speaker 3: in terms of this matchup because they're not they weren't
• 17:53
  Speaker 3: expected to be there. They weren't they're not expected probably
• 17:55
  Speaker 3: to win if you ask the bookies and if you
• 17:57
  Speaker 3: ask you know, the betting people. But they're there and
• 18:01
  Speaker 3: rightfully so you know they're they're like we said, they're
• 18:03
  Speaker 3: goalie four saves penalty saves in a row like let
• 18:08
  Speaker 3: alone you make four or whatever, like in a row,
• 18:10
  Speaker 3: like back to back to back to back, like I
• 18:12
  Speaker 3: was we were watching it on the TV. It was
• 18:14
  Speaker 3: just like I couldn't believe it, like and you know,
• 18:18
  Speaker 3: like decent penalty takers on the other side for Atalanta.
• 18:22
  Speaker 3: So you know, leave it to Saudi to to do
• 18:25
  Speaker 3: some sort of magic and and uh and get his team,
• 18:28
  Speaker 3: you know, playing at a level that you know their
• 18:31
  Speaker 3: fans can maybe be somewhat happy about it, even though
• 18:34
  Speaker 3: they every every time we walk at you know, these
• 18:35
  Speaker 3: lots of fans, they're like, oh my god, this team
• 18:37
  Speaker 3: is terrible. But listen, I think that they have they
• 18:42
  Speaker 3: have a big, a big game coming up obviously.
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: In this in this final, and.
• 18:48
  Speaker 3: I think the home crowd hopefully, like anytime it's it's
• 18:51
  Speaker 3: a Kobe Talley Final and a Roman team is there,
• 18:53
  Speaker 3: I think you have to play with the crowd like
• 18:55
  Speaker 3: your your your home fans are there. So for you
• 19:00
  Speaker 3: as as as a club that is Roman, like you
• 19:03
  Speaker 3: have to be able to to show up for these matches.
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: So let's see what you know made their team brings.
• 19:07
  Speaker 3: You know, it's about a month, just just under a
• 19:09
  Speaker 3: month away now, and you know, we'll.
• 19:11
  Speaker 2: See what happens.
• 19:12
  Speaker 3: But I think you know, they I don't know how
• 19:18
  Speaker 3: to say it, but I feel like they're big players kind.
• 19:20
  Speaker 2: Of have to step up.
• 19:22
  Speaker 3: It's one thing that's been lacking I think for Latso
• 19:24
  Speaker 3: you know, the Zacons of the world as much as
• 19:27
  Speaker 3: you know people might not rate them. He wears the ten,
• 19:31
  Speaker 3: he wears the armband for Laso. He you know, along
• 19:35
  Speaker 3: with some other players, are their top players. Is a
• 19:38
  Speaker 3: top player for them, if you like to say that
• 19:40
  Speaker 3: or not. And we need those players to show up,
• 19:43
  Speaker 3: show up for for Filato. So because we know that
• 19:46
  Speaker 3: the inter core is going to show up, I would
• 19:49
  Speaker 3: think at least and uh and play and play a
• 19:53
  Speaker 3: strong game. So yeah, I don't know it just for me,
• 19:57
  Speaker 3: it was. It was an interesting two eggs against Atawanta
• 20:01
  Speaker 3: and we'll see if Lao has enough uh to to
• 20:04
  Speaker 3: raise the trophy at home at the Olympical May thirteenth,
• 20:08
  Speaker 3: and like.
• 20:10
  Speaker 5: You know, they come they're coming off.
• 20:12
  Speaker 4: Also, they're also coming off a big win versus Napoli
• 20:15
  Speaker 4: this past weekend too, you know.
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: So it's yeah, they have been they have been playing well.
• 20:19
  Speaker 2: Even the mewant to win they had they had you know,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: a couple of weeks ago as well.
• 20:22
  Speaker 5: Sadi's been picking up momentum for them.
• 20:24
  Speaker 2: Minutes.
• 20:25
  Speaker 5: I know a lot of people like the clown on him.
• 20:27
  Speaker 5: I still have a soft.
• 20:28
  Speaker 4: Spot for the guy, and he's won trophies before he
• 20:30
  Speaker 4: knows what it in order it takes to win something.
• 20:32
  Speaker 4: So like Latsio's got the upper hand in this Cold
• 20:36
  Speaker 4: Patalia game, then Inter because Inter is expected to win obviously.
• 20:40
  Speaker 4: It's a generic you know, like the underdog versus the
• 20:43
  Speaker 4: you know, David and Guieth. But it's all like as
• 20:46
  Speaker 4: if like okay, well, you know, maybe Latzio wins. Like no,
• 20:50
  Speaker 4: Latsio does have the capabilities to win this game. Sadi
• 20:53
  Speaker 4: can probably out coach Kivu for it.
• 20:58
  Speaker 6: Because Inter is.
• 21:00
  Speaker 4: Probably you know, they also have their sites set on
• 21:02
  Speaker 4: the scudet though you know it is pretty much almost
• 21:04
  Speaker 4: under wraps. You know, you never want to say anything.
• 21:09
  Speaker 4: I honestly think that that it's that it is feasible
• 21:14
  Speaker 4: that it is feasible for Lazio to actually win that
• 21:16
  Speaker 4: uh the couple of dale I was talk about to
• 21:18
  Speaker 4: skid up before anyways, whatever, you know what I.
• 21:20
  Speaker 2: Mean, It's feasible.
• 21:21
  Speaker 3: But it's gonna be tough, like it's it's definitely gonna
• 21:24
  Speaker 3: be tough, like you there, they have a they have
• 21:26
  Speaker 3: a chance, right they're in the finals, so they have
• 21:28
  Speaker 3: a chance.
• 21:28
  Speaker 2: You know, the ball is round. We are as corny
• 21:30
  Speaker 2: as it is.
• 21:31
  Speaker 3: To say there's a chance, but they're gonna have to
• 21:34
  Speaker 3: They're gonna have to play for it, like they're gonna
• 21:36
  Speaker 3: have to be solid defensively. I think, you know, we
• 21:40
  Speaker 3: always like to say, you know, games are one and loss.
• 21:42
  Speaker 3: In the midfield, I think that's gonna have to play
• 21:44
  Speaker 3: a factor. And you know, we'll see what happens in
• 21:47
  Speaker 3: the attack. But if they're able to walk down Inters, uh,
• 21:52
  Speaker 3: you know, at tacking prowess, I think they give themselves
• 21:55
  Speaker 3: a chance, and then after that any anything is possible.
• 21:59
  Speaker 3: Like listen, look at today, you know, off a set
• 22:02
  Speaker 3: piece corner, sorry ROMINOI gets the better of gym City
• 22:06
  Speaker 3: and he puts it past, and then in the in
• 22:08
  Speaker 3: the in the shootout, it's you know, it's anybody's game.
• 22:10
  Speaker 3: So I think it's gonna be tough. But to your point, Johnny,
• 22:13
  Speaker 3: but yeah, they have a chance for sure.
• 22:18
  Speaker 6: Yeah, you know, I know it's still two weeks away.
• 22:20
  Speaker 1: If I had to do a bet right now, I'd
• 22:22
  Speaker 1: still say Inter is just they're the better team. But
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: I feel like with this, especially in one off in Acopetalia,
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: anything can happen.
• 22:29
  Speaker 6: Look at last year.
• 22:32
  Speaker 1: Into that game as favorites, right, Bologna, that underdog, that team,
• 22:37
  Speaker 1: they were probably round the same position as Lotso are
• 22:41
  Speaker 1: now about eight nine tenth in the standings last year,
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: and they they come out, they got the win. It
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: was an important win for them getting that trophy and
• 22:52
  Speaker 1: for lots of it. I think it's gonna be the
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: same thing, especially if you know, if Interty has the
• 22:58
  Speaker 1: Scudetto locked up, I then maybe especially if they let's
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: say they guarantee it, guaranteed it the weekend before, maybe
• 23:05
  Speaker 1: they'll kind of have their mind off off of the Copta.
• 23:08
  Speaker 6: They'll have celebrated a bit too much.
• 23:10
  Speaker 1: We don't know, I know the professional players, but you
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: never know, especially coming off a high of let's say
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: a Scudetto win. A couple of days later, it's gonna
• 23:17
  Speaker 1: be a midweek game. Maybe Letso can take advantage of that.
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: Or if inters still has to clinch to the Scudetto,
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: maybe he'll be thinking about that as well. So, yeah,
• 23:27
  Speaker 1: obviously anything could happen. It's gonna be in Rome. I
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: know tech technically home field advantage for Latto, but you know, whatever,
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: the crowds will be fifty to fifty regardless, but it
• 23:37
  Speaker 1: still is their home stadium right for Latto, so I think.
• 23:40
  Speaker 6: Anything could happen. It's gonna be a good game. I
• 23:43
  Speaker 6: do think it will be.
• 23:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah, guys, ci yeah, pretty much all but locked up
• 23:51
  Speaker 1: for intern now. Anyways, I think it's what twelve points
• 23:53
  Speaker 1: up over me Lian with five games left. That means
• 23:57
  Speaker 1: they only need what do they only need?
• 23:59
  Speaker 6: Three points?
• 24:00
  Speaker 3: They could they depending on how things go this week,
• 24:02
  Speaker 3: and I think they can even lock it up this weekend,
• 24:03
  Speaker 3: if I if I heard correctly.
• 24:05
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I forget the tie breakers. Yeah, I guess it
• 24:09
  Speaker 1: depends on the tie breakers. But yeah, realistically they could
• 24:13
  Speaker 1: lock it up as soon as this weekend, which will
• 24:15
  Speaker 1: be crazy to have finished the pretty much the season
• 24:19
  Speaker 1: in April, right, I know the season will be done.
• 24:21
  Speaker 1: They'll still be top four races, relegation races. But do
• 24:24
  Speaker 1: you guys know what I mean?
• 24:27
  Speaker 6: You know Napoli, I know we were talking about a
• 24:29
  Speaker 6: couple of weeks ago. Oh well, they fight for the scueto.
• 24:32
  Speaker 1: It feels like maybe we curse them because since then
• 24:35
  Speaker 1: it was it last weekend. They tied in Parma this
• 24:38
  Speaker 1: week and they lost to Lazio to nothing. Uh you know, look,
• 24:44
  Speaker 1: we knew it was going to be tough for an
• 24:45
  Speaker 1: apoletes to even contend with the scudetto this lead in
• 24:47
  Speaker 1: the season.
• 24:48
  Speaker 6: But I think at this point they.
• 24:50
  Speaker 1: Look top four between Melan, between our teams, right between
• 24:54
  Speaker 1: mel and Apple, and you'vede right now the goals top four,
• 24:56
  Speaker 1: and I think that's the interesting race because you got
• 24:58
  Speaker 1: Melan at sixty six, had sixty six, you've had sixty three,
• 25:02
  Speaker 1: been back of fifty eight along with Rome at fifty eighth.
• 25:06
  Speaker 1: So you know, for me, line and napolise okay forget
• 25:08
  Speaker 1: about to four race. Uh you know you're talking about
• 25:12
  Speaker 1: how Como is going to turn around and how do.
• 25:14
  Speaker 6: You think what do you think Napoli needs to do
• 25:16
  Speaker 6: to turn around?
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: Find their bearings? I don't know what's the slippery slope,
• 25:22
  Speaker 4: what's happening. It's because also their limpid to the finish
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: line too. Like it's not like as if they're a
• 25:28
  Speaker 4: team that has a perfect amount of of of depth.
• 25:32
  Speaker 5: It's basically you know, they're in their course. Conte himself
• 25:36
  Speaker 5: is starting to.
• 25:38
  Speaker 4: He he tried to motivate the team, but the team
• 25:40
  Speaker 4: is just exasperated. I honestly think for them, they just
• 25:46
  Speaker 4: it caught up. It's it caught up. It's uh, it
• 25:52
  Speaker 4: is what it is. Too many games, too many key
• 25:56
  Speaker 4: players missing. I mean, I would say drama behind the bench,
• 26:00
  Speaker 4: but there's not really much drama this year. But the
• 26:03
  Speaker 4: previous year be saide the who Lucaku incident, you know
• 26:07
  Speaker 4: about like apparently butting heads, not wanting to train or whatever.
• 26:13
  Speaker 5: I don't even know what that mess was. I can't
• 26:14
  Speaker 5: even talk about it.
• 26:15
  Speaker 4: But you were poised to contend for Schooldet though past
• 26:21
  Speaker 4: two games you pissed.
• 26:24
  Speaker 5: You pissed it away, my praise, don't take all its
• 26:29
  Speaker 5: just try to stay on top four.
• 26:30
  Speaker 4: At this point, it's it's over, Like, don't even try
• 26:33
  Speaker 4: to don't dream about it.
• 26:35
  Speaker 5: You're you're eight point your twelve points behind. It's it's gone.
• 26:40
  Speaker 5: It's five games left in the season. It's it's a
• 26:42
  Speaker 5: full stream.
• 26:43
  Speaker 4: So at that point, keep it respectable, try to finish second,
• 26:47
  Speaker 4: you have to keep you with me line for that
• 26:49
  Speaker 4: almost the exact same record, except Melan is way better defensively.
• 26:53
  Speaker 4: They only let in twenty seven to Napolis thirty three.
• 26:55
  Speaker 4: So uh, if you're not at this point, you try
• 27:01
  Speaker 4: to see, Okay, what do we need for next year
• 27:03
  Speaker 4: to compete for the school deeto again, or what do
• 27:05
  Speaker 4: we need for next year too? If we call fiver champions,
• 27:08
  Speaker 4: actually try hard for champions.
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: You know, so.
• 27:13
  Speaker 4: On a time I would like to see content mess
• 27:16
  Speaker 4: around a bit with the youth system. Maybe try to
• 27:20
  Speaker 4: call up a player to try to play a kid
• 27:21
  Speaker 4: or two, just to see.
• 27:22
  Speaker 2: What we got.
• 27:23
  Speaker 5: Must say like fold, it musta like fold through the season.
• 27:26
  Speaker 4: But you know, uh, top fours with your aim is now,
• 27:31
  Speaker 4: that's that's the best finish you could do.
• 27:32
  Speaker 5: So that's that's that's.
• 27:34
  Speaker 2: What I think. Yeah, no, I listen.
• 27:37
  Speaker 3: I think I think you know, despite like the the
• 27:44
  Speaker 3: how do you just want to say, like the the
• 27:47
  Speaker 3: hopes and prayers of of of actually you know it's
• 27:50
  Speaker 3: maybe surpassing in there, like even from me on like
• 27:53
  Speaker 3: a handful of weeks ago or even months ago, whatever
• 27:55
  Speaker 3: it was like you.
• 27:57
  Speaker 2: Know it was there, you know, there as a.
• 28:00
  Speaker 3: Chance like oh if this happens, if that happens, like
• 28:03
  Speaker 3: maybe you know there's still you know, some some hope
• 28:07
  Speaker 3: there and and whatnot. But I think we all kind
• 28:11
  Speaker 3: of deep down knew that it was pretty much locked
• 28:14
  Speaker 3: up even even we had the rap, like we had
• 28:16
  Speaker 3: rap on a couple of weeks ago, and even before that,
• 28:19
  Speaker 3: when you know, we were speaking about me one in
• 28:21
  Speaker 3: that same situation, like, yeah, the chance was there, and
• 28:24
  Speaker 3: yes there were obstacles to to to to face for
• 28:27
  Speaker 3: these for these teams, but I mean the those obstacles into.
• 28:32
  Speaker 2: Got over all of them. Like they beat uh, they
• 28:36
  Speaker 2: beat the teams that were on on the uh, on
• 28:39
  Speaker 2: the schedule for them that we.
• 28:41
  Speaker 3: Thought were gonna be tough, tough, tough games and maybe
• 28:44
  Speaker 3: they can slip up there so we can gather points
• 28:46
  Speaker 3: in our games and kind of catch up and and whatnot.
• 28:49
  Speaker 3: So you know, listen, I think we kind of have
• 28:52
  Speaker 3: to be realists.
• 28:53
  Speaker 2: Uh. You know, it was it was.
• 28:55
  Speaker 3: Ever since Inter got into the into the position, it
• 28:58
  Speaker 3: was kind of there to lose. It's it's a shame
• 29:01
  Speaker 3: to say it because you know, as rival fans, you
• 29:04
  Speaker 3: know you want your team to win for sure, But
• 29:06
  Speaker 3: we say it a lot on this show and we
• 29:09
  Speaker 3: kind of have to to call a space of spade
• 29:10
  Speaker 3: and they've been the best team. I still don't think
• 29:14
  Speaker 3: I under Kivu, Like I don't know, like I don't
• 29:19
  Speaker 3: know really still how I feel about Kivu. Maybe inter
• 29:22
  Speaker 3: fans will say different, and that's fine, Like it's it's
• 29:25
  Speaker 3: just you know, difference of opinions. But I don't know,
• 29:28
  Speaker 3: for me, it doesn't really move the needle. But if
• 29:30
  Speaker 3: they're getting the job done and and they're in, they're
• 29:32
  Speaker 3: winning games and they're gonna and they have a chance
• 29:34
  Speaker 3: for you know, the double this year, like clearly something's working.
• 29:38
  Speaker 2: So yeah, I don't know.
• 29:41
  Speaker 3: Like for Napoli, I think also, like like Johnny said,
• 29:44
  Speaker 3: like the injuries didn't help. Yes, they got players back recently,
• 29:48
  Speaker 3: but like was it like realistically there like yeah, maybe
• 29:53
  Speaker 3: like there was a chance and there is a mathematical chance,
• 29:56
  Speaker 3: but I think it was more hope than than reality
• 29:59
  Speaker 3: and terms of anybody fighting for for first. But and
• 30:03
  Speaker 3: then you know, kind of kind of to quote what
• 30:05
  Speaker 3: Conte said, you know, finishing second is is the first loser, right,
• 30:09
  Speaker 3: so you don't even want to finish second, it seems
• 30:11
  Speaker 3: like but because it sucks, like there was a chance
• 30:15
  Speaker 3: this year for for you know, some of these teams
• 30:17
  Speaker 3: to to gain you know another school Ato and Mewan
• 30:21
  Speaker 3: being one of them, and I think they pissed away
• 30:23
  Speaker 3: that chance as well. So it could be critical for that.
• 30:26
  Speaker 3: I think not We to to to win again. It
• 30:29
  Speaker 3: was always going to be tough, but they put themselves
• 30:31
  Speaker 3: in a position to fight for that because we've seen
• 30:34
  Speaker 3: title defenses go completely hate wire, you know with not
• 30:38
  Speaker 3: We the first time or even Mewan you know that
• 30:40
  Speaker 3: that year after.
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: So so yeah.
• 30:43
  Speaker 3: Like it is what it is, like there's not really
• 30:45
  Speaker 3: much more to say there but for Melan's sake.
• 30:48
  Speaker 2: Too, like.
• 30:50
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like like I said, they they pissed through their hands,
• 30:54
  Speaker 3: like they they weren't able to capitalize on.
• 30:58
  Speaker 2: You know, the one game a week what they had
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: to do with exactly what knap We did last year,
• 31:03
  Speaker 2: and they couldn't do that, right, Like it's as simple
• 31:05
  Speaker 2: as that.
• 31:06
  Speaker 3: Like they got bounced in the coop utality sooner than
• 31:10
  Speaker 3: I would have liked to watch show who is now
• 31:13
  Speaker 3: in the final and you know kuros to them, like
• 31:15
  Speaker 3: we mentioned, so then you're really facing just a once
• 31:18
  Speaker 3: a week battle, uh for for for for the schooletto.
• 31:23
  Speaker 3: And again they weren't able to do that. Too many
• 31:25
  Speaker 3: drop points against the smaller teams, which ultimately that's how
• 31:29
  Speaker 3: you win the sculetto. Yes, you know, your head to
• 31:30
  Speaker 3: dead against the big clubs is important, but there's so
• 31:34
  Speaker 3: many more of those quote unquote smaller teams to kind
• 31:37
  Speaker 3: of go against to pick up maximum points. And this
• 31:41
  Speaker 3: year inter were able to pick up those types of
• 31:43
  Speaker 3: points and the likes of Milan and I think even
• 31:46
  Speaker 3: Opoly too like or and then well you've forget it,
• 31:50
  Speaker 3: but you know they weren't able to do so, so
• 31:54
  Speaker 3: you know that that puts a big factor. And ultimately
• 31:56
  Speaker 3: that's how it's gonna end, right, It's gonna end with
• 32:00
  Speaker 3: you know, into winning the Schooletto and you know, one of.
• 32:05
  Speaker 2: Milan Knopoly and.
• 32:07
  Speaker 3: I'm probably gonna still stick with with you of even
• 32:09
  Speaker 3: though I would like to see that race for that
• 32:11
  Speaker 3: four spot to come down to the wire, but I
• 32:14
  Speaker 3: think it will end the way it is currently on
• 32:16
  Speaker 3: the table. So yeah, like it's it's it's an It's
• 32:21
  Speaker 3: unfortunate on Melan's perspective because I think under Allegrity things
• 32:25
  Speaker 3: did get better, but there's still so much to be
• 32:27
  Speaker 3: desired with this team.
• 32:28
  Speaker 2: It's it's not even funny that.
• 32:30
  Speaker 3: He helped defensively, absolutely because last year we were leaking
• 32:33
  Speaker 3: way way too many goals. So it's kind of certified
• 32:37
  Speaker 3: that if you will. But then on the flip side,
• 32:39
  Speaker 3: we're not scoring.
• 32:40
  Speaker 2: As many goals and we're not getting.
• 32:42
  Speaker 3: The output from our forwards that we would like as fans,
• 32:45
  Speaker 3: so that kind of aggravates us. And you know, our
• 32:48
  Speaker 3: midfield is good, but you know, it can only take
• 32:50
  Speaker 3: us so far.
• 32:51
  Speaker 2: I think.
• 32:51
  Speaker 3: And and again I'm not a huge fan of the
• 32:55
  Speaker 3: shape that he that he likely kind of puts out
• 32:58
  Speaker 3: the three too, I think doesn't optimize and utilize all
• 33:01
  Speaker 3: our players to the best of our the best of
• 33:02
  Speaker 3: their abilities. But and you know Nick knows this, and
• 33:07
  Speaker 3: obviously he was a Melan coach as well the first time.
• 33:09
  Speaker 2: But you know, the the.
• 33:11
  Speaker 3: Allegory court to Muso wins is something to get used to.
• 33:14
  Speaker 3: It's good when they it's good when they're in your favor,
• 33:16
  Speaker 3: but when you lose the other way, it's it's.
• 33:18
  Speaker 2: It's it's a terrible feeling.
• 33:20
  Speaker 3: And you know, from from getting spanked to against the
• 33:24
  Speaker 3: Dinez two weeks ago to winning only one nothing against
• 33:28
  Speaker 3: you know, bottom of the table Verona, it's just a's
• 33:32
  Speaker 3: just a right of emotion. So I think I'm hopeful
• 33:35
  Speaker 3: for next season too, if things stayed you know, consistent
• 33:41
  Speaker 3: and cohesive within within the organization.
• 33:43
  Speaker 2: I'm hopeful for next season with champions.
• 33:45
  Speaker 3: Lee money and a bit more clarity of what's going
• 33:47
  Speaker 3: to happen to go forward, you know that maybe you
• 33:51
  Speaker 3: can get a bit more competitive in the Scudetto race.
• 33:54
  Speaker 2: But as of this year, it's I don't.
• 33:57
  Speaker 3: Want to say a failure, but because that's it's a
• 34:00
  Speaker 3: term for for for that.
• 34:01
  Speaker 2: But I don't know.
• 34:03
  Speaker 3: I think it was there for the taking this year,
• 34:04
  Speaker 3: the schooldeto and and I don't think that the competing
• 34:07
  Speaker 3: teams really took it by the horns. And yeah, it's yeah, okay,
• 34:11
  Speaker 3: it's fine that it's going to go down to the
• 34:12
  Speaker 3: wire for who's going to finish top four ultimately, but
• 34:15
  Speaker 3: still that gap from first and second is is a
• 34:19
  Speaker 3: gap that should have been closer in my opinion, no
• 34:21
  Speaker 3: matter who it was going to be in first end
• 34:23
  Speaker 3: or second.
• 34:25
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of you know, the down or not
• 34:27
  Speaker 2: for me.
• 34:27
  Speaker 3: But I think ultimately the race for Europe and then
• 34:32
  Speaker 3: the relegation battle on the other end, I think it's
• 34:35
  Speaker 3: gonna be really what's the watch to end this season,
• 34:39
  Speaker 3: And you know, because there's a lot of teams that
• 34:40
  Speaker 3: are going in and going after it like we we're
• 34:42
  Speaker 3: just talking about the top four.
• 34:43
  Speaker 2: But then if you want to go with the Europa League,
• 34:45
  Speaker 2: with with.
• 34:46
  Speaker 3: Como, you know Roma, you know, even Atalanta I think
• 34:48
  Speaker 3: has an outsider's shot there. You know, it's it's gonna
• 34:55
  Speaker 3: be it's gonna be interesting to see that as well.
• 34:57
  Speaker 3: So and then lots so if they win the Cold Retalia,
• 35:00
  Speaker 3: you know, there's there's a you know, I get you
• 35:02
  Speaker 3: they get what is it Europe?
• 35:04
  Speaker 2: Europe? Uh somehow next year as well? Right if I
• 35:07
  Speaker 2: remember saying.
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: That, yeah, it's it's Europoly right, so.
• 35:13
  Speaker 3: Yeah, so again that's another you know, shake up in
• 35:16
  Speaker 3: the pot. So I think there's a lot still to
• 35:19
  Speaker 3: be played for me, Like I say almost every year now,
• 35:22
  Speaker 3: it's at this point in the season, there's five games
• 35:25
  Speaker 3: left for me. It's not just five games, it's five
• 35:27
  Speaker 3: finals for for our teams and for everybody that's competing.
• 35:30
  Speaker 3: Because it's it is like as much as it's maybe
• 35:34
  Speaker 3: again corny to say in cliche to say.
• 35:36
  Speaker 2: It's five finals, Uh, it's one game at a time.
• 35:39
  Speaker 3: There's there's no more you know, really, all well, what
• 35:42
  Speaker 3: if and then this and that, like you have to
• 35:44
  Speaker 3: go out and win, like it's it there's no to
• 35:46
  Speaker 3: ways about it, especially seeing how close like to what
• 35:50
  Speaker 3: nixt point was earlier. Sixty six for me, one sixty
• 35:54
  Speaker 3: six for not sixty three for for for you guys,
• 35:58
  Speaker 3: it's it's it's there for the taking. So you think us, well, yeah,
• 36:04
  Speaker 3: well we'll see it starts.
• 36:07
  Speaker 2: It starts this weekend.
• 36:08
  Speaker 3: Right In said, yeah, so we'll see a lot to
• 36:11
  Speaker 3: be desired, but uh, a lot to happen and unfold.
• 36:14
  Speaker 2: And these last five five weeks. But excited to see
• 36:18
  Speaker 2: how it you know, ultimate puans out.
• 36:20
  Speaker 6: Uh, yeah, you know it feels like you almost brought
• 36:23
  Speaker 6: it up. But the Meline you have a game this weekend. Uh,
• 36:27
  Speaker 6: you know you've beat Bologna to nothing on Sunday. I
• 36:30
  Speaker 6: couldn't watch it.
• 36:31
  Speaker 1: You know, we're at the Super Game, but I checked
• 36:32
  Speaker 1: my phone to nothing second minute Jonathan David scored.
• 36:35
  Speaker 6: You know I made sure to show that to you.
• 36:37
  Speaker 6: Are Jonathan David.
• 36:38
  Speaker 2: First, nobody nobody else cared but for school.
• 36:42
  Speaker 6: Since uh since February, I believe.
• 36:44
  Speaker 1: But you've a U since they got eliminated, eliminated from
• 36:48
  Speaker 1: Champions League. Uh, they're focusing obviously only on today. Yeah,
• 36:53
  Speaker 1: eat eat in a row without a loss or seven
• 36:56
  Speaker 1: in a row without without a loss, five wins and
• 36:59
  Speaker 1: two draws and that time span. Uh, every single one
• 37:02
  Speaker 1: of their wins have been a clean sheet. Their two
• 37:05
  Speaker 1: draws obviously three three against Roma, one to one against
• 37:08
  Speaker 1: so Solders the only games they've allowed goals, which is
• 37:12
  Speaker 1: a positive signing of itself. So you is coming to
• 37:15
  Speaker 1: this game hot.
• 37:16
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 37:17
  Speaker 1: For me, this is the final big step because the
• 37:19
  Speaker 1: rest of the way they play hell us they playlet
• 37:22
  Speaker 1: they play for your and Tina and play they play
• 37:23
  Speaker 1: to Reno. No disrespect to these teams, but obviously those
• 37:28
  Speaker 1: are those are twelve points right there, that need that
• 37:30
  Speaker 1: you've win, that needs you've needs to get. But this
• 37:36
  Speaker 1: game against Melan, it's if they if you've get the
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: three points.
• 37:40
  Speaker 6: Uh.
• 37:41
  Speaker 1: Obviously the top four races and finished, they still need
• 37:44
  Speaker 1: to beat those four other teams in the final four weeks,
• 37:47
  Speaker 1: but it will go a long way to security securing
• 37:50
  Speaker 1: their place in the Champions League next season. This is
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: what you've been needs right every year. They kind of
• 37:54
  Speaker 1: just need that money to stay afloat that Champions League
• 37:57
  Speaker 1: money to almost to say a.
• 37:58
  Speaker 6: Float you know, a draw.
• 38:03
  Speaker 1: Draw wa mean there's gonna be four weeks to play
• 38:05
  Speaker 1: for and obviously a loss won't be so good.
• 38:07
  Speaker 6: Obviously.
• 38:07
  Speaker 1: Uh, you know, it depends what Como does, depends what
• 38:10
  Speaker 1: Romo does. But you've just put themselves in a good
• 38:12
  Speaker 1: spot for the Champions League, and that's what I've liked.
• 38:17
  Speaker 1: You know, I know Splits he already signed his contract,
• 38:20
  Speaker 1: which I was a bit surprised about. I'm not gonna
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: lie because I know when he came in, the incentive
• 38:24
  Speaker 1: was for you to make the Champions League. So he
• 38:26
  Speaker 1: signed the contract before.
• 38:27
  Speaker 6: They even meet it.
• 38:28
  Speaker 1: I know, you know, things have changed and it's at
• 38:31
  Speaker 1: this point it's like it's more than just you know,
• 38:34
  Speaker 1: just focusing on Champions League.
• 38:35
  Speaker 6: They need a long term.
• 38:36
  Speaker 1: Project and that's what they hope to get from with
• 38:40
  Speaker 1: Spiletti and guys. I've said it a million times, whoever
• 38:45
  Speaker 1: they go with it, it needs to be a project.
• 38:48
  Speaker 1: It needs to be long term, it needs to there
• 38:50
  Speaker 1: needs to be.
• 38:50
  Speaker 6: A bit of patience.
• 38:51
  Speaker 1: I know the last two coaches, between Twitor and Mata,
• 38:55
  Speaker 1: that's probably what they're going for.
• 38:57
  Speaker 6: And then they.
• 38:58
  Speaker 1: Both coaches, let's be real, just kind of shot the bed.
• 39:01
  Speaker 1: But I do think Splitty is a bit more of
• 39:03
  Speaker 1: a guy you could trust maybe two or three seasons.
• 39:06
  Speaker 1: I don't know if he's a guy he's going to
• 39:08
  Speaker 1: stay on for four or five, six seasons. Ag Probably
• 39:12
  Speaker 1: that's way too far in the future. But look, he's
• 39:15
  Speaker 1: had a positive sign. Like I said, three straight clean sheets,
• 39:21
  Speaker 1: three straight clean sheets, five out of the last six
• 39:24
  Speaker 1: games without conceding. I think that's the biggest that's the
• 39:27
  Speaker 1: biggest positive. It's returning back to the Lagree days. Uh,
• 39:33
  Speaker 1: you know, defense first, attack second. So this weekend's game
• 39:38
  Speaker 1: is big. I hope my team beats your team twice
• 39:40
  Speaker 1: on Sunday three between Meylan and you and Milan and
• 39:43
  Speaker 1: has lightning game four. But no, that's pretty much it.
• 39:48
  Speaker 3: Yeah, well, listen, they put some stability there, because I
• 39:51
  Speaker 3: think it was supposed to be a watch, just like
• 39:52
  Speaker 3: a one year and then potential an extension you know,
• 39:56
  Speaker 3: post post this season.
• 39:58
  Speaker 2: But I think he signed what until twenty eight from
• 40:00
  Speaker 2: the mistaken twenty.
• 40:00
  Speaker 1: Twenty eight I saw correctly, So I said, it's only
• 40:06
  Speaker 1: two seasons, two extra seasons. It feels like so far away,
• 40:08
  Speaker 1: twenty twenty eight. It's only two years from now.
• 40:10
  Speaker 3: Yeah, but still like they're putting some sort of faith.
• 40:13
  Speaker 3: I guess if you want to call it that in
• 40:15
  Speaker 3: Spoletti and listen, in Spoletti, we've seen him in said, yeah,
• 40:20
  Speaker 3: we've seen him in the national team. We know what
• 40:22
  Speaker 3: he's about. So like you kind of know what you're
• 40:24
  Speaker 3: gonna get. I think the one thing for you, even
• 40:27
  Speaker 3: though I don't think they're where they want to be,
• 40:30
  Speaker 3: let's say.
• 40:32
  Speaker 2: I think they do.
• 40:34
  Speaker 3: They are you know kind of uh, you.
• 40:37
  Speaker 2: Know, playing a bit for you know, Spoletti.
• 40:39
  Speaker 3: I don't know if there I guess there is a
• 40:40
  Speaker 3: bit of a good a good vibe in the locker
• 40:43
  Speaker 3: room there. I'm assuming because I think this could have
• 40:46
  Speaker 3: went south, like really fast if if things weren't kind
• 40:50
  Speaker 3: of you know, cohesive in the locker room and you know,
• 40:52
  Speaker 3: between the you know, manager and players. So I guess
• 40:56
  Speaker 3: something in that aspect is working for them. But at
• 40:59
  Speaker 3: the same time, I don't think they're a finished product.
• 41:01
  Speaker 3: I think that there's still lots to to to be had.
• 41:03
  Speaker 2: With you.
• 41:04
  Speaker 3: I don't you know, if if we go back to
• 41:07
  Speaker 3: even what they they once were there, they're nowhere near that.
• 41:10
  Speaker 3: So but yeah, like you, Nick said, like this weekend
• 41:14
  Speaker 3: is a huge match, and like I just said earlier,
• 41:16
  Speaker 3: like it's five finals to end the season. This is
• 41:19
  Speaker 3: one of those finals, like it's going to be, you know,
• 41:22
  Speaker 3: a big match who have to play for. And again
• 41:25
  Speaker 3: I don't think that the draw does. I don't think
• 41:27
  Speaker 3: the draw does anything like it does. It does more
• 41:30
  Speaker 3: of a disservice for both our teams, Nick than then
• 41:33
  Speaker 3: then it does anything else, because you know, a draw
• 41:37
  Speaker 3: one to one might say or nil nil or two
• 41:41
  Speaker 3: to whatever you want to call it, and not he
• 41:43
  Speaker 3: picks up maximum points. Now we're chasing. Now, we're chasing,
• 41:48
  Speaker 3: and it's a position where you don't want to be
• 41:51
  Speaker 3: this late in the season, is chasing and not having
• 41:55
  Speaker 3: the cards in your hands in my aspect, in my eyes,
• 41:57
  Speaker 3: so I think it, you know, as much as you
• 42:02
  Speaker 3: want to three points, I think from you on, it's
• 42:04
  Speaker 3: another three points that.
• 42:05
  Speaker 2: They do need.
• 42:05
  Speaker 3: Like it's it's it's it's huge. Like again, we want
• 42:10
  Speaker 3: to fight first. We want scudetto right like I think
• 42:13
  Speaker 3: our you know, our teams want the scudetto but with
• 42:15
  Speaker 3: that no longer being in the picture, you know, finishing
• 42:18
  Speaker 3: as high as you can in this in this case,
• 42:21
  Speaker 3: second is gonna have to be what it's gonna be.
• 42:24
  Speaker 4: And I must feel like like it stings a little
• 42:26
  Speaker 4: bit more because you know, like you know, Intern's already
• 42:30
  Speaker 4: got a lead by one.
• 42:30
  Speaker 5: Now they're gonna get a lead by two.
• 42:32
  Speaker 3: Oh yeah for me, yeah, from me on fans, it's
• 42:34
  Speaker 3: it's it's like as much as we're saying it and
• 42:37
  Speaker 3: we know it's gonna happen.
• 42:38
  Speaker 2: Once it happens, it's gonna sting even more.
• 42:40
  Speaker 3: Like you know already that they were able to get
• 42:42
  Speaker 3: ahead of us, get the twentieth before us. Now it's
• 42:46
  Speaker 3: gonna be the twenty first. You kind of have to
• 42:48
  Speaker 3: chase that again, and we don't know you know when
• 42:53
  Speaker 3: that will be, but hopefully sooner rather than later. So yeah,
• 42:55
  Speaker 3: it's gonna that's things in itself for sure, But at
• 42:59
  Speaker 3: the same.
• 42:59
  Speaker 2: Time, we can't change that like it is where it
• 43:03
  Speaker 2: is now. It's unfortunate. Maybe if they.
• 43:06
  Speaker 3: Just you know, catastrophically collapse in these last five games
• 43:10
  Speaker 3: and just totally ship the bed, but we know that's
• 43:12
  Speaker 3: not gonna happen.
• 43:13
  Speaker 2: We have to be realists.
• 43:14
  Speaker 3: And but yeah, like just going back to the game,
• 43:17
  Speaker 3: it's it's gonna be huge, Like I agree versus Petti
• 43:20
  Speaker 3: Milan Juve, like these are this is it's a big
• 43:23
  Speaker 3: game Sunday two forty five, primetime game for for City, Like,
• 43:28
  Speaker 3: I just hope it's a it's a good it's a
• 43:30
  Speaker 3: good performance on on both ends.
• 43:31
  Speaker 2: Like I just want to see a good game. I
• 43:34
  Speaker 2: don't want to see any.
• 43:35
  Speaker 3: Controversy, any of that bullshit, Like I think we're past
• 43:38
  Speaker 3: that at this at this stage, like, let's just have
• 43:40
  Speaker 3: a good game, clean game, best team, let them win
• 43:43
  Speaker 3: and you know, make it be me wan right, But
• 43:47
  Speaker 3: joking aside, I think, you know, I think the first
• 43:51
  Speaker 3: the first game, if I'm not saying it was what.
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: The one one, right, the one one at at school?
• 43:58
  Speaker 3: Yeah it does, to be honest, you're right, but yeah,
• 44:01
  Speaker 3: I think it was the one one at the Aliens.
• 44:03
  Speaker 3: I'm not mistaken. I think that's where Postage missed the penalty.
• 44:06
  Speaker 3: I think, if I'm not mistaken, you've it tied it
• 44:08
  Speaker 3: at a bit later. If I think, if i'm my memory
• 44:11
  Speaker 3: serves me right. Regardless, it was, it was a draw.
• 44:15
  Speaker 3: I think a game that left things to be desired
• 44:18
  Speaker 3: in that match because I think the you know, I
• 44:21
  Speaker 3: think there could have been a winner in that in
• 44:22
  Speaker 3: that matchup. Fast forward now to this weekend, like there
• 44:26
  Speaker 3: has to be a winner. It can't end in the
• 44:29
  Speaker 3: draw from whether I just said earlier. So I'm excited,
• 44:33
  Speaker 3: I think, you know, I'm hope, hopefully, hopefully a kind
• 44:39
  Speaker 3: of you know, gets one on his former employers and
• 44:43
  Speaker 3: and pulls off pulls off.
• 44:44
  Speaker 2: A victory at home, because you know, you have to
• 44:46
  Speaker 2: do it at home.
• 44:47
  Speaker 3: Like you know, as much as we've kind of struggled
• 44:49
  Speaker 3: sometimes at home, I think you have to do it
• 44:51
  Speaker 3: in front of your home fans.
• 44:52
  Speaker 2: You need your top players to step up, you know.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Hope to God Possage finds a way to make this
• 45:00
  Speaker 3: game the game that he kind of finally wakes up
• 45:02
  Speaker 3: in twenty twenty six, because he's been atrocious, uh, in
• 45:06
  Speaker 3: the in the in the in the new year. As
• 45:08
  Speaker 3: much as I hate to say it, you know, being
• 45:09
  Speaker 3: a fan of his, but you know, it's it's just
• 45:13
  Speaker 3: not been good enough. And again, I don't know if
• 45:16
  Speaker 3: like layout, I don't know if it's something physical or
• 45:18
  Speaker 3: if it's something mental or you know, you know upstairs,
• 45:22
  Speaker 3: whatever it is, what it is, I don't know, but
• 45:25
  Speaker 3: we just have a good performance. Polease postich leol whoever
• 45:29
  Speaker 3: is starting an attack because we need to score goals, Like,
• 45:31
  Speaker 3: it's enough of this, you know, not being able to
• 45:34
  Speaker 3: score and create chances, not being able to score.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: So because I.
• 45:39
  Speaker 3: Think on the other end, as much as you've struggle,
• 45:41
  Speaker 3: you know, they've shown at least.
• 45:43
  Speaker 2: Recently that they can score.
• 45:45
  Speaker 3: So you know, if it be a David, if it
• 45:47
  Speaker 3: be a no pend iphib be a you know, Quantisa
• 45:51
  Speaker 3: or whoever it might be, you know, there's there's players
• 45:54
  Speaker 3: on the other side that are dangerous enough to score.
• 45:56
  Speaker 3: So again, I'm gonna probably go If I had to say, Nick,
• 46:02
  Speaker 3: I would probably say a two to one is probably
• 46:04
  Speaker 3: the result. Now you people can pick which way they
• 46:08
  Speaker 3: want to go with that, but I think it's gonna
• 46:11
  Speaker 3: be a two to one.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I don't know, it's more than that.
• 46:16
  Speaker 3: I I can't really say I think it's a two
• 46:18
  Speaker 3: to one either way.
• 46:21
  Speaker 2: Because I again.
• 46:23
  Speaker 3: I don't know, Like obviously I'd rather not lose, and
• 46:26
  Speaker 3: I'll take the draft I had to, But like again,
• 46:29
  Speaker 3: just from what I said earlier, it just such a
• 46:30
  Speaker 3: disservice because.
• 46:31
  Speaker 2: Who's not playing this week. They're playing on Friday, Yeah, exactly.
• 46:37
  Speaker 3: So again I don't want to say nothing and whatever,
• 46:40
  Speaker 3: and we know what every team is tough. There's no
• 46:42
  Speaker 3: easy games in said yeah, Johnny.
• 46:45
  Speaker 5: Muted, they're playing tomorrow against.
• 46:49
  Speaker 6: It will be Friday. Well, yeah, when it's i'st this
• 46:53
  Speaker 6: on Thursday.
• 46:54
  Speaker 3: Yes, Johnny, right, Johnny is a bit ahead of the game.
• 46:56
  Speaker 3: But yes, it's coming out when this episode comes out.
• 46:59
  Speaker 3: It'll be tomorrow that they do play.
• 47:01
  Speaker 2: It's Friday.
• 47:02
  Speaker 6: Inapoly, it's Thursday.
• 47:05
  Speaker 2: One am.
• 47:06
  Speaker 4: Oh no, the websitem sorry, my website was was off because.
• 47:10
  Speaker 2: Johnny, Johny, No, don't even go for it. Don't even
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: go further. We set you up.
• 47:14
  Speaker 6: You're right, You're always right.
• 47:17
  Speaker 2: Just leave it at that. You're good. But yeah, it
• 47:21
  Speaker 2: will be on Friday. Like Johnny said, which which which
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: is uh? Which which is uh?
• 47:28
  Speaker 3: You know as much as we always say easy, there's
• 47:31
  Speaker 3: no easy games and said yeah and all that all
• 47:32
  Speaker 3: that stuff, it's it's a it's a it's a doable
• 47:36
  Speaker 3: game for not we do to get maximum points. So
• 47:39
  Speaker 3: that makes extra uh, you know, extra motivation hopefully for
• 47:44
  Speaker 3: for this new and va game, uh, to have a
• 47:48
  Speaker 3: winner rather than somebody than having the game and then
• 47:50
  Speaker 3: a draw.
• 47:50
  Speaker 2: So let's see what happens. The best team win, make
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: a big meal one that's all I have to.
• 47:55
  Speaker 1: Say, And Johnny uh Roma Roma Roma. They tied at
• 48:02
  Speaker 1: Atlanta this weekend. They play Bologna on Saturday, so not
• 48:07
  Speaker 1: an easy game there. I mean, they're there in the
• 48:10
  Speaker 1: top four race, but you know, at this point it's
• 48:13
  Speaker 1: more about securing at least a European spot. I don't
• 48:17
  Speaker 1: know if there's something you've seen from Roma that you'd
• 48:20
  Speaker 1: like to improve, at least down the stretch, because right now,
• 48:22
  Speaker 1: in the last five games, it's it's draw win lost wind, sorry,
• 48:27
  Speaker 1: draw win lost, win loss. So it's a bit inconsistent,
• 48:30
  Speaker 1: a bit up in consistent in the sense that it's up,
• 48:33
  Speaker 1: up and down.
• 48:33
  Speaker 6: But having strung together twins in a row in a while, no.
• 48:38
  Speaker 5: They haven't, and it has been.
• 48:42
  Speaker 4: Problematic to say the least, because you know, you're trying
• 48:48
  Speaker 4: to find some form, some rhythm, and it just seems
• 48:51
  Speaker 4: like every game you lose and you have to rebuild it.
• 48:52
  Speaker 4: You know, like you got a very huge draw versus
• 48:57
  Speaker 4: Atlanta because you know Atlanta's you know, a decent team,
• 49:00
  Speaker 4: but you know, you lose to Bologna in Europa League.
• 49:04
  Speaker 5: You know, like you you lose to Como.
• 49:07
  Speaker 4: You know, it's like you get it loose to you
• 49:09
  Speaker 4: loose to Genoa, you know what I mean, Like, it's
• 49:13
  Speaker 4: it's tough because the games that you should expected to
• 49:17
  Speaker 4: win you don't win, and you start to lose faith,
• 49:21
  Speaker 4: and it's it's it's like this from time and time again,
• 49:24
  Speaker 4: where it's like you know, they're they're right there for
• 49:27
  Speaker 4: top four and then they just it slips away towards
• 49:29
  Speaker 4: the end and it's like, yeah, you kid, it's like
• 49:31
  Speaker 4: it's it's a curse at this point, you know, I
• 49:36
  Speaker 4: I firmly.
• 49:37
  Speaker 5: Believe that the guests betting he's working on something.
• 49:40
  Speaker 4: Bilan for example, has been a great transfer so far.
• 49:45
  Speaker 4: He's been something that you know what, even if you know,
• 49:49
  Speaker 4: we lose a good amount of Fords this summer, if
• 49:53
  Speaker 4: they can find a way to like.
• 49:56
  Speaker 5: I don't keep him around for offense and stuff because
• 49:59
  Speaker 5: it's just it's.
• 50:01
  Speaker 4: Donielle has just been good, Like I can't, I can't,
• 50:04
  Speaker 4: Like he has goals already, It's.
• 50:07
  Speaker 2: Yeah, it's six months in half a season. Yeah, yeah,
• 50:11
  Speaker 2: it's crazy.
• 50:12
  Speaker 4: He's got more of hold on six seven, nine, eleven, fourteen.
• 50:18
  Speaker 5: He's got four goals, less than the rest of the
• 50:21
  Speaker 5: forwards combined. Just think about that.
• 50:25
  Speaker 2: Jesus.
• 50:27
  Speaker 5: Now, Aroma has twenty four goals from their forwards. Malin's
• 50:32
  Speaker 5: got ten of.
• 50:33
  Speaker 2: Them, I don't know. And he came and he came
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: in January exactly. Wow.
• 50:37
  Speaker 4: So that's just just to show like like how Roma
• 50:40
  Speaker 4: is still in a look at the spot that they're
• 50:42
  Speaker 4: in and look at the impotent freaking forwards that they have,
• 50:47
  Speaker 4: you know, to get there.
• 50:48
  Speaker 6: It's it's something that.
• 50:51
  Speaker 5: I will have to say, something that they've been desperate for,
• 50:54
  Speaker 5: you know, for a while.
• 50:59
  Speaker 4: It's it's a squad that, even after that Europa Conference,
• 51:02
  Speaker 4: League had to like rebrand itself, you know.
• 51:05
  Speaker 5: And I don't say rebrand. Rebrand is the wrong word. Retool.
• 51:11
  Speaker 4: I think retool is probably the better word, you know,
• 51:15
  Speaker 4: because you know Dibala being injured, and you know, now
• 51:19
  Speaker 4: you have Uhligni who is injured, Cone is injured, like
• 51:25
  Speaker 4: you get you got too many key positions that are
• 51:27
  Speaker 4: just everyone's dropping like flies.
• 51:29
  Speaker 5: Dolf bick was is injured too, Like it's.
• 51:31
  Speaker 4: Just Gaspitini for what he's got available to him. You know,
• 51:36
  Speaker 4: the fact that you're still fighting for top four is
• 51:38
  Speaker 4: really good.
• 51:39
  Speaker 5: I really hope that he kind of like uh lose
• 51:46
  Speaker 5: a lose sight of it.
• 51:47
  Speaker 4: It's it's easy to you know, get like this as
• 51:52
  Speaker 4: a player, it's easy to be like, oh, this is
• 51:56
  Speaker 4: a team that like like like like the easy to lose, like, Okay,
• 51:58
  Speaker 4: well we've got nothing going for us, when reality you
• 52:01
  Speaker 4: still got a goal it. Alma has been trying to
• 52:04
  Speaker 4: fight for that top four for almost it's going to
• 52:07
  Speaker 4: be almost a decade now. It's crazy h in a
• 52:10
  Speaker 4: few last time doing champions.
• 52:16
  Speaker 6: Yeah literally last decade.
• 52:18
  Speaker 5: Yeah, and this is unheard of.
• 52:21
  Speaker 4: I've always like grown up with an alma In in
• 52:24
  Speaker 4: the top four, and now they're going to be at
• 52:26
  Speaker 4: a point where it's like it's it's something consistent that
• 52:30
  Speaker 4: they're not. They just get they're just guaranteed to be
• 52:33
  Speaker 4: the fifth place team every time, like the bridesmaid of
• 52:36
  Speaker 4: the Champions League.
• 52:37
  Speaker 7: You know.
• 52:38
  Speaker 5: But back to the main, main thing. We know the
• 52:43
  Speaker 5: ballas on.
• 52:44
  Speaker 2: His way out.
• 52:45
  Speaker 5: Yeah, the sule go with him. We don't know forget
• 52:51
  Speaker 5: if Mallin is.
• 52:52
  Speaker 4: A a pure dry loan or with an option to buy,
• 52:57
  Speaker 4: I'm not sure, but if you given how you know
• 53:02
  Speaker 4: Gus spinning, He's basically found his guy for like the
• 53:06
  Speaker 4: like the system that he wants at Oma.
• 53:08
  Speaker 5: You do whatever you can to to keep them.
• 53:10
  Speaker 4: Because I haven't seen like good offense like this since
• 53:13
  Speaker 4: the early early days of Tammy Abraham at Roma. You know,
• 53:16
  Speaker 4: like it's it's like before Abraham got Tammy, Abraham got
• 53:20
  Speaker 4: injured and stuff like, you don't like he's he's effective
• 53:24
  Speaker 4: and and an effective striker is chewing or forward. In
• 53:26
  Speaker 4: this case, it's too far in between. So defensively there's
• 53:32
  Speaker 4: still solid. Just pray that steel er doesn't leave. That's
• 53:36
  Speaker 4: another thing too, Like it's it's it just sucks because
• 53:40
  Speaker 4: you're trying to get something going, and every time you
• 53:43
  Speaker 4: get something going, you lose a key player here, you
• 53:45
  Speaker 4: lose a key player there, somebody. It's it's a rotating
• 53:49
  Speaker 4: door and it just you're you're keeping yourself afloat, but
• 53:52
  Speaker 4: you're not like like when you're gonna be when you're
• 53:54
  Speaker 4: when's it gonna be your time to be effective and strong?
• 53:56
  Speaker 7: You know?
• 53:57
  Speaker 2: Like so.
• 53:59
  Speaker 5: I do hope we're trying to call already for the
• 54:01
  Speaker 5: head of Gaspardini.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: Uh yeah, I saw that.
• 54:04
  Speaker 3: I saw there's some some something going with him and
• 54:06
  Speaker 3: Ronierity too, like a bit of head budding there.
• 54:08
  Speaker 2: I don't know if that's true.
• 54:09
  Speaker 4: But yeah, but even like that, it's like they're professionals,
• 54:12
  Speaker 4: like they're they're professionals that disagree, you know what I mean,
• 54:14
  Speaker 4: Like it's it's totally normal.
• 54:16
  Speaker 5: You're never gonna you're never gonna fully agree on everything.
• 54:19
  Speaker 4: Like Agnetti is a is an home a legend, like
• 54:21
  Speaker 4: just he's a he's a city legend, you know, like
• 54:23
  Speaker 4: a it's not saying like this guy is a legend
• 54:26
  Speaker 4: of the whole world, but Agnette himself for you know,
• 54:29
  Speaker 4: for the club, for what he's done for the club,
• 54:31
  Speaker 4: you know, and what he's done as a manager, you know,
• 54:33
  Speaker 4: and always stepping in, always trying to save the club
• 54:35
  Speaker 4: and whatnot, because that's a shad team, Like he is
• 54:39
  Speaker 4: a legend in our eyes. And I I just think
• 54:43
  Speaker 4: it's just a just a like that. I don't even
• 54:45
  Speaker 4: I don't beat I don't beat an eye at him.
• 54:47
  Speaker 4: It's just it's just professionals having different common differences that
• 54:50
  Speaker 4: are just like you know, like maybe they don't see
• 54:53
  Speaker 4: eyes certain things.
• 54:54
  Speaker 5: But I don't think it's actually like anything spiteful.
• 54:59
  Speaker 2: But yeah, that's.
• 55:01
  Speaker 5: That's something, let's.
• 55:02
  Speaker 3: Hope not because we know, we know Gaspardini's you know
• 55:05
  Speaker 3: track track record with you know, yeah right, like I
• 55:10
  Speaker 3: mean whatever it might be like we know kind of
• 55:14
  Speaker 3: the bad blood that can kind of you know, uh
• 55:17
  Speaker 3: start with with with Gaspinin in the room.
• 55:19
  Speaker 2: But again, what on the.
• 55:20
  Speaker 3: Flip side, you you get, you know, some some pretty
• 55:23
  Speaker 3: good squads under Gaspadinian, some you know, highlighting some players
• 55:26
  Speaker 3: and and scoring like for crying out out in like
• 55:30
  Speaker 3: six months, you have Malin scoring double digit goals in
• 55:34
  Speaker 3: six months.
• 55:35
  Speaker 6: Like he's fighting for the couple.
• 55:38
  Speaker 3: Yeah, like I mean he's not gonna win it, but
• 55:40
  Speaker 3: like just to say like six like from January till now,
• 55:44
  Speaker 3: like ten goals, whereas like some guys that have started
• 55:48
  Speaker 3: here don't even have that number.
• 55:49
  Speaker 2: Like it's it's it's it's insane.
• 55:52
  Speaker 3: So for that I would have to give, you know,
• 55:55
  Speaker 3: big ups for for their sporting side. I think that
• 55:59
  Speaker 3: that's definitely in a positive I think Piazzi ly is
• 56:01
  Speaker 3: another one to to kind of hopefully build around in
• 56:05
  Speaker 3: the future journey.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: I don't know if you agree, but it's a shame
• 56:09
  Speaker 2: that you know, obviously the injuries are there.
• 56:11
  Speaker 3: That happens to everybody, so it's not something that you
• 56:13
  Speaker 3: can really say, oh, poor me, you know, the injury
• 56:16
  Speaker 3: like bug like you know, it happens to every club,
• 56:19
  Speaker 3: so it is what it is there. But you know
• 56:21
  Speaker 3: Piazzi lely Malin, you know, I think that defense in DCA,
• 56:24
  Speaker 3: I think is is still strong. Mancini, I saw my
• 56:26
  Speaker 3: ups and downs with but it is what it is.
• 56:28
  Speaker 3: As few are between the pipes is good. But it's
• 56:31
  Speaker 3: gonna see it's gonna be like how how do you
• 56:32
  Speaker 3: guys progress and if it be another Europa League season,
• 56:36
  Speaker 3: what is what is it going to take for for
• 56:39
  Speaker 3: for Roma to build?
• 56:42
  Speaker 2: And you know, go forward with that because.
• 56:45
  Speaker 7: You guys twenty nine, it's been since twenty nineteen and
• 56:48
  Speaker 7: I feel like since then, since we've been speaking about
• 56:51
  Speaker 7: Roma on their show, it's always been like something that's
• 56:55
  Speaker 7: kind of gone on that doesn't make them get to there?
• 56:57
  Speaker 2: Is it the competition? Is it? Their squad? Is it?
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: The manager? Is is upper management? Is it? The ownership?
• 57:02
  Speaker 2: Is it?
• 57:03
  Speaker 3: What we've seen it all since that twenty last time
• 57:07
  Speaker 3: Roma has been in in Champions League.
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: In twenty nineteen, so well, so we thought it was.
• 57:13
  Speaker 3: Gonna it was gonna take a guy like Cozy Mourinho
• 57:15
  Speaker 3: to do it. Is it gonna take a guy like now,
• 57:17
  Speaker 3: Yesperin need to do it. I don't know, it would
• 57:21
  Speaker 3: be nice again they were right there, yoash season no
• 57:24
  Speaker 3: Johnny like they were.
• 57:25
  Speaker 2: They were foot flopping with you there for that fourth spot.
• 57:28
  Speaker 3: I think ultimately, like I predicted at the beginning of
• 57:30
  Speaker 3: the year, I think that's what it's gonna come down
• 57:32
  Speaker 3: to again. Unfortunately again you're gonna we're gonna throw Como
• 57:37
  Speaker 3: in the mix there because they're in that mix, but
• 57:39
  Speaker 3: so they might throw a bit of a curve ball
• 57:40
  Speaker 3: on them. Actually finished finishing fifth. But I don't know,
• 57:45
  Speaker 3: Like I think the fans, the fans want more, they
• 57:48
  Speaker 3: need more, they deserve more, and we'll see if it,
• 57:50
  Speaker 3: if it comes this this year or if it be next.
• 57:56
  Speaker 1: Anyways, guys, I think Belle will do it for us.
• 58:00
  Speaker 1: You know, enjoy the weaker games ahead in the city.
• 58:05
  Speaker 1: You know we won't be we won't be seeing copal

• 58:23
  Speaker 3: Think it's yeah, yeah, definitely even for me, and I

• 58:30
  Speaker 3: Roma has has a Derby right to come up to,
• 58:32
  Speaker 3: which I think is a is a. I don't know

  Speaker 3: why these Derbies are so late, because I even saw,
• 58:36
  Speaker 3: like you said, the to Reno Derby, even though that's
• 58:39
  Speaker 3: not even a Derby anymore, it's it's it's a it's
• 58:42
  Speaker 3: late in the it's late in the year.
• 58:43
  Speaker 2: I thought that was a bit a bit weird, but
• 58:45
  Speaker 2: it is what it is.
• 58:47
  Speaker 1: Yeah, exactly, even even uh, the thurin Derby.
• 58:51
  Speaker 3: It's like, yeah, to Reno Derby, like it's yeah, no longer,
• 58:56
  Speaker 3: it's no longer a Derby, but I mean it's it's
