- 0:43Speaker 1: So you know, I'm grateful that we're gonna hit two
- 0:45Speaker 1: fifty next week. So, you know, as as we like
- 0:49Speaker 1: to stay in Canada, tomorrow's Thursday, but we got football
- 0:52Speaker 1: during the day, so I'm not going to complain. But
- 0:55Speaker 1: you know, Jenny, we want to talk about your Derby
- 0:57Speaker 1: Derby Dell Jannyning, but first, you know, I do want
- 0:59Speaker 1: to talk about Melan Juve. Okay, That's all I have
- 1:02Speaker 1: to say about it. Next but no, seriously, what a
- 1:09Speaker 1: terrible game. Honestly, I think from both sides, right Adri like,
- 1:14Speaker 1: we're both frustrated with our teams playing that one zero zero,
- 1:17Speaker 1: I know, melan juve or you know you've a melin.
- 1:22Speaker 1: These games they're not you know, in recent years that
- 1:25Speaker 1: haven't been the most you know, climactic. There's been a
- 1:29Speaker 1: lot of one nothing's you know sure, I think it
- 1:31Speaker 1: was what three nothing wants melin one away event. This this
- 1:34Speaker 1: a couple years ago now, I think it was in
- 1:36Speaker 1: the derby in the scudetto season. But overall, like you know,
- 1:40Speaker 1: it's not the most exciting derby derby on the field,
- 1:43Speaker 1: but this game is just it is brutal. It was
- 1:46Speaker 1: brutal watch and I think this is just for me
- 1:49Speaker 1: as u a fan. There's almost a theme that we've
- 1:51Speaker 1: seen this season where it's you know, zero zero There
- 1:54Speaker 1: was a sad again today and against aston Villa. We'll
- 1:58Speaker 1: talk about that later, but you know, it gets a point. Yes,
- 2:02Speaker 1: I know you've had a ton of injuries and it sucks,
- 2:05Speaker 1: but it gets to a point like this is not
- 2:07Speaker 1: fun to watch. You know, where's your identity too? Like
- 2:11Speaker 1: I know month is coming in, there's a new system,
- 2:13Speaker 1: this and that, but guys, this is match week. You know,
- 2:15Speaker 1: match Day thirteen that just happened. Plus what another four
- 2:21Speaker 1: games in the Champions League whatever, the five games in
- 2:23Speaker 1: the Champions League, eighteen games, that's you know, that's we're
- 2:27Speaker 1: almost halfway through the city As season, like, you know,
- 2:30Speaker 1: I want to see some results besides the reseros, and
- 2:35Speaker 1: so it's just it's frustrating. There's not a lot to
- 2:39Speaker 1: say from the game because I haven't I mean, I
- 2:42Speaker 1: haven't seen the stats, but neither team really created that
- 2:44Speaker 1: many chances either right injury. So it's just one of
- 2:47Speaker 1: those games there's not much to talk about.
- 2:50Speaker 2: And it's unfortunate because this is a big matchup. You know,
- 2:53Speaker 2: even if you want to say the results were in
- 2:55Speaker 2: recent matchups hasn't been the best, you know, this is
- 2:58Speaker 2: still a big matchup. It's it's it's two top dogs
- 3:01Speaker 2: in setijagoing at it, and uh, you know, I guess
- 3:04Speaker 2: I guess there was a reason. I guess. I don't know.
- 3:06Speaker 2: The Setia scriptwriters knew that it wasn't supposed to be
- 3:08Speaker 2: the two forty five game, and that's why I was
- 3:10Speaker 2: at the I was at the noon kickoff game here
- 3:12Speaker 2: and here in this coast. But you know, it just
- 3:17Speaker 2: it's it's disappointing. It's it's it's a it's a no,
- 3:21Speaker 2: no draw, but for me it's a loss. Those are
- 3:24Speaker 2: those are two points, uh, you know, desperately dropped, especially
- 3:27Speaker 2: for Milan. And you know what even for you in
- 3:29Speaker 2: that in that fact, because the race at the top
- 3:32Speaker 2: it's tight.
- 3:33Speaker 1: Uh, it's it's a.
- 3:35Speaker 2: Couple of points that separate, you know, from from pretty
- 3:37Speaker 2: much one to six. So you know, I know you've
- 3:41Speaker 2: I know Milan is what I think, nine points with
- 3:44Speaker 2: that game in hand, uh, you know, away uh from
- 3:48Speaker 2: from from cracking Europe there. So it's it's not good enough.
- 3:52Speaker 2: You know, it's unfortunate. I think both teams, you know,
- 3:55Speaker 2: getting the new manager. Uh, you know you mentioned identity.
- 4:00Speaker 2: You know, I still don't think we have an identity
- 4:02Speaker 2: for Milan either. It's it's it's crazy. We go, you know,
- 4:06Speaker 2: one game, we're on top of the world and then
- 4:09Speaker 2: everything falls apart. Then we win three three to one
- 4:12Speaker 2: against Real Madrid, everything comes crushing down. We beat Intended Derby,
- 4:15Speaker 2: it comes crashing down. So it's just not good enough.
- 4:19Speaker 2: I think the consistency needs to be there. It's unfortunate
- 4:21Speaker 2: that it's not. You know, it's just it's one of
- 4:24Speaker 2: these things that you know, I don't really know what
- 4:26Speaker 2: it is, if it's mental, if it's mentally, if it's
- 4:29Speaker 2: you know, tactically, technically, whatever you want to label it as.
- 4:32Speaker 2: I know many Mellion fans are upset and and you know,
- 4:36Speaker 2: really pissed off about how the season's going. And rightfully so,
- 4:38Speaker 2: I think we do have the right to be pissed
- 4:40Speaker 2: because you know, I think we're miles off from where
- 4:42Speaker 2: we kind of want to be, uh and maybe even
- 4:45Speaker 2: where we should be. So, you know, nineteen points after
- 4:49Speaker 2: after thirteen matches I think is the lowest in the
- 4:53Speaker 2: last I think five odd years. So it's it's not
- 4:56Speaker 2: good enough. You know, there's no more excuses. I know,
- 4:59Speaker 2: you know, Nick, you like this that for you as well,
- 5:01Speaker 2: you know, the excuses, the injuries, this that it's enough
- 5:05Speaker 2: of those and and really you have to go out
- 5:07Speaker 2: there and play the best ball. And unfortunately in this
- 5:09Speaker 2: matchup it wasn't to be. And you know in many
- 5:12Speaker 2: matchups throughout this season. I can speak for me, and
- 5:15Speaker 2: then I know Nick probably feels similar for you. Of
- 5:17Speaker 2: it's it just hasn't been good enough. It hasn't been convincing,
- 5:21Speaker 2: it hasn't been consistent. Uh, you know, all the seas,
- 5:25Speaker 2: it hasn't been any of those, so it just you know,
- 5:30Speaker 2: fun SECA for me, you know, I don't even know
- 5:33Speaker 2: if it's to win fund Sect. Honestly these days, don't
- 5:35Speaker 2: even know if I should win fun Sector, if I
- 5:36Speaker 2: should blame upper Management for bringing fun second in. It's
- 5:39Speaker 2: like it's like one week it's one one week it's
- 5:41Speaker 2: the other. So uh, you know, for me on fins,
- 5:45Speaker 2: you know, I'm with you. I'm pissed as well. We
- 5:48Speaker 2: have to turn the page. It's it's unfortunate that we
- 5:50Speaker 2: have to do it, go through these matchups, uh, and
- 5:54Speaker 2: these sufferings because listen, that just ruins a Saturday, that
- 5:56Speaker 2: ruins a weekend. Right, So it's it's unfortunate. Uh. And
- 6:01Speaker 2: there's one thing if I don't want to see again
- 6:03Speaker 2: is I know we will probably have to see him
- 6:05Speaker 2: again just for how uh you know Fragile Calabria is.
- 6:10Speaker 2: You know, Emerson Royale is a fucking joke on the
- 6:12Speaker 2: right on the right right back position. Like I think
- 6:16Speaker 2: any of any three of us here on the on
- 6:17Speaker 2: the show could could suit up and play better than
- 6:20Speaker 2: him on that right flank, especially Johnny, I know, I
- 6:23Speaker 2: know wing back is his uh, is his forte, his
- 6:25Speaker 2: cup of tea. So if it be on the left
- 6:27Speaker 2: for the exactly if it be on the left or
- 6:29Speaker 2: the right, I know Johnny can slot in there, but
- 6:32Speaker 2: Emerson Royale is is is shocking to me. It's it's
- 6:37Speaker 2: it's a signing that I still don't understand. I wanted
- 6:40Speaker 2: to try to understand the signing. You know, in these
- 6:43Speaker 2: first couple of matches of the season, and we're on
- 6:46Speaker 2: matchday thirteen, almost twenty games into the seat into the
- 6:48Speaker 2: calendar year, with all competitions to be had there, and
- 6:53Speaker 2: you know, he's he still hasn't improved. He looks tired
- 6:57Speaker 2: before he comes on, he looks tired when he starts,
- 7:00Speaker 2: he doesn't look ready to go. It's just, uh, it's
- 7:04Speaker 2: just embarrassing. I think if there was one positive for
- 7:07Speaker 2: me on it was probably that first fifteen minutes. I
- 7:09Speaker 2: would say they really try to put on the pressure
- 7:11Speaker 2: on Juve and it showed that Jove didn't have, you know,
- 7:15Speaker 2: obviously a striker. I think that's another thing to maybe
- 7:18Speaker 2: break up Dick. I don't know, but uh, the loss
- 7:21Speaker 2: of Lalovich and I know we criticized Allovi a lot
- 7:23Speaker 2: on the show because he's not always up to up
- 7:27Speaker 2: to his potential and you know the price tag and all,
- 7:31Speaker 2: you know, all that stuff, but you know, it showed
- 7:34Speaker 2: that they didn't have you know, Yova didn't have a striker,
- 7:36Speaker 2: and you know, shame on me Wane for not capitalizing
- 7:38Speaker 2: on that. Uh it's it's it's you know, I think
- 7:42Speaker 2: they had who was a coup miners playing as the
- 7:44Speaker 2: false nine in this game or was it way? No,
- 7:46Speaker 2: it was a way today and.
- 7:47Speaker 1: Bro is just playing false like just like, yeah, what
- 7:53Speaker 1: what Atalanta's return policy? Honestly, you know, I know some
- 7:57Speaker 1: I know some scorers are doing extended return policies to Christmas, Like,
- 8:01Speaker 1: I don't know, we might have to call up put
- 8:03Speaker 1: Cassi there in Bedmo because this is a shadow of
- 8:07Speaker 1: himself and you know we talked about it in our
- 8:10Speaker 1: group chat, but this guy's.
- 8:13Speaker 2: It's crazymore it doesn't it doesn't look like the same
- 8:18Speaker 2: player at all. And it's a shame because again, this
- 8:20Speaker 2: is a player that in Atalanta's recent seasons, we've I
- 8:24Speaker 2: think all Sadi fans that really pay attention to the
- 8:27Speaker 2: league has penciled them in into you know, maybe Team
- 8:31Speaker 2: of the Season or one of the better you know,
- 8:32Speaker 2: midfielders in Sadiyah, especially attacking wise. You know, he gets
- 8:36Speaker 2: he gets in there attacking, but this season and their motive,
- 8:40Speaker 2: it's been, like you said, shutout of himself and uh,
- 8:44Speaker 2: it's just I don't know. I don't know if he
- 8:47Speaker 2: knows his role. I don't know if they're playing him
- 8:48Speaker 2: at a position. I don't know what it is, but
- 8:51Speaker 2: it just is he mentally, uh, fragile. I don't know,
- 8:54Speaker 2: but it's it's a it's quite a shame. But again
- 8:58Speaker 2: it's more of a shame on me. I'm not taking
- 8:59Speaker 2: advantage of of you know, a bit of a weaker Uventus.
- 9:03Speaker 2: I don't think obviously they're well, I know they're their
- 9:05Speaker 2: top eleven wasn't out there, but you know, that's that's
- 9:09Speaker 2: that's a shame on you, on on me one. And
- 9:11Speaker 2: you know the lineup selection. You know obviously layout choosing
- 9:17Speaker 2: obviously not to start layout and that seems to be
- 9:20Speaker 2: a recurring theme which also yesterday as well in the
- 9:23Speaker 2: Champions League. But you know, it's just overall, I think
- 9:28Speaker 2: it's the biggest thing to say is it's it's it's
- 9:32Speaker 2: more than just one point gain. It's really two points lost,
- 9:35Speaker 2: and uh yeah, it's gonna, you know, be marked as
- 9:38Speaker 2: a draw on the on the on the table, but
- 9:42Speaker 2: for me, it's it's it's worse than that. It's a
- 9:44Speaker 2: it's a loss. And uh, you know, I think one
- 9:48Speaker 2: needs to turn the page and you need to have
- 9:49Speaker 2: a lot of catching up to do to try to
- 9:51Speaker 2: get back into Champions League, because I don't think if
- 9:54Speaker 2: they don't get back into Champions League, it's gonna be
- 9:56Speaker 2: one of these these downward spirals that you know, hopefully
- 10:00Speaker 2: it won't take too honk to get out of, but
- 10:02Speaker 2: I can see it going pretty south pretty quick. So uh,
- 10:05Speaker 2: you know, we're hopeful and optimistic for more positive results
- 10:08Speaker 2: to come, but yeah, it just not good enough and
- 10:13Speaker 2: embarrassing and I guess on both friends.
- 10:16Speaker 1: Jenny. Meanwhile, you're in your Derby Derby del Johannine officially
- 10:19Speaker 1: known as derbyl Soul for the casuals Napoli Roma this
- 10:24Speaker 1: past week. I mean, look, you know, me and Adrie,
- 10:27Speaker 1: our teams are pretty much in the same boats right now. Yes,
- 10:29Speaker 1: Ves ahead in terms of points, but Napolis have top
- 10:34Speaker 1: of the table romas in what twelve now you know,
- 10:39Speaker 1: opposite directions and one nothing win for for not probably
- 10:43Speaker 1: not as big as people thought, right. Uh you know,
- 10:46Speaker 1: I don't know if you had a chance to watch
- 10:47Speaker 1: the game or you can watch the highlights, but for
- 10:50Speaker 1: I know you you always say okay when people ask, okay,
- 10:53Speaker 1: who are you cheer for in these games? And you
- 10:55Speaker 1: always say whoever needs to win the most. It felt
- 10:56Speaker 1: like Napoli needed to win the most to stay in first,
- 10:58Speaker 1: so you probably were happy that, right.
- 11:01Speaker 3: Well, essentially, yeah, Napoli is the one that's competing for
- 11:04Speaker 3: top of the DYA right now, and especially with pretty
- 11:07Speaker 3: much doing a quick count here for I mean, you
- 11:10Speaker 3: can account you into it five teams that are right
- 11:13Speaker 3: up there, you know, right up their ass right now.
- 11:15Speaker 3: For that, I mean, I definitely do believe that Napoli
- 11:19Speaker 3: needed to win more. And I always said, like, which
- 11:21Speaker 3: every team is competing for the Scudetto, and this here
- 11:23Speaker 3: Napolis Chanting competing for the Scudetto, So why not, right,
- 11:27Speaker 3: I would much rather they win versus at Roma, but
- 11:30Speaker 3: uh Roma themselves there, It's it's crazy how much of
- 11:35Speaker 3: a disarray they are this game. They couldn't get like
- 11:40Speaker 3: almost anything going ah pretty much. It was like I
- 11:46Speaker 3: think here I'm number right here, fourteen shots to six,
- 11:49Speaker 3: Like it's it was just total Knopoly domination. It's Roma
- 11:53Speaker 3: right now. They're just just trying to survive. That's basically
- 11:56Speaker 3: what their goal is. Their goal is to just remain
- 11:57Speaker 3: in city A. I think a ship knows that any
- 12:02Speaker 3: type of big competitions out the window right now, and
- 12:05Speaker 3: they're they're they're doing their absolute greatest just to stay
- 12:08Speaker 3: in Sidi. Yeah, because right now it's Chinese downwards. They
- 12:11Speaker 3: are basically two points away from sorry, three points away
- 12:15Speaker 3: being in a relegation spot. So like if Como wins
- 12:18Speaker 3: one game of Romo los another words another one to
- 12:20Speaker 3: get just you know, so it's it's getting bad. If
- 12:26Speaker 3: you're if you're a Romanista, you don't like seeing this.
- 12:29Speaker 3: It's it's a it's very worrisome, especially with the kind
- 12:32Speaker 3: of roster that Roma can can can field. You know,
- 12:35Speaker 3: It's it just doesn't it just doesn't feel right. I
- 12:40Speaker 3: don't know what's going on specifically. I think I think
- 12:46Speaker 3: at this point it's like you're getting really close to
- 12:48Speaker 3: pushing that big red button. I think at this point
- 12:50Speaker 3: you're just getting close to a big red button. Comes summertime,
- 12:53Speaker 3: I think you just really just you know, clean up house,
- 12:57Speaker 3: get rid of the people that don't want to be there.
- 13:00Speaker 3: Really changed the whole uh like like sculpt the whole
- 13:04Speaker 3: roster into a different look like you do some plastic surgeries,
- 13:06Speaker 3: so to speak. Because what you have right now in
- 13:09Speaker 3: terms of your core is not working. What you put
- 13:11Speaker 3: together pieces. The pieces that you put together don't fit
- 13:14Speaker 3: no matter how much you try, they're not fitting. No
- 13:16Speaker 3: matter who you bring in, it just doesn't work. And
- 13:20Speaker 3: ROMANISTI are pissed off. Which that's they have the total
- 13:23Speaker 3: right to be pissed off because it's last year, like
- 13:28Speaker 3: you had the opportunity to say, okay, you know there
- 13:31Speaker 3: was injuries here and there. Tammy was out for the
- 13:33Speaker 3: entire season. Uh Dibala was also injured majority of the season. Ukaku,
- 13:38Speaker 3: you know, like he wasn't playing with you know, people
- 13:40Speaker 3: that he's used to playing and stuff. Like you had
- 13:42Speaker 3: a lot of like, you know things to say all
- 13:45Speaker 3: this why didn't work out that then? But now it's
- 13:47Speaker 3: like okay, well, what what excuses do you have? What
- 13:50Speaker 3: do you have? You know, like injuries, you might have some,
- 13:53Speaker 3: but it's not like I said, if these are injuries
- 13:55Speaker 3: that are these are players that are like, okay, you
- 13:56Speaker 3: feel them when they're not the roster. Maybe salad makers.
- 13:59Speaker 3: That's about it. That's the only player you can argue.
- 14:02Speaker 3: Aldi Schmurda as I like to call him, and I
- 14:04Speaker 3: don't think he's a type of player that you kind
- 14:06Speaker 3: of that you kind of miss out on when he's
- 14:09Speaker 3: when he's not around. So uh, it's just if you're
- 14:12Speaker 3: if you're if you're at romney Stad's, it's not looking good,
- 14:15Speaker 3: dark clouds. It's hopefully h Ragnetti can do something after
- 14:21Speaker 3: the winter break. I mean, winner break is hard because
- 14:25Speaker 3: when you get one month to kind of do anything,
- 14:27Speaker 3: So we'll see when that time comes. Obviously, Monopoly though
- 14:32Speaker 3: a great game offensively pepper your opposition. It ain't score
- 14:37Speaker 3: as much as you expected to, but it's still fine.
- 14:41Speaker 3: You walk away with the W. That's what you care about.
- 14:43Speaker 3: Some close chances, some great offensive pressure. Great. It's one
- 14:47Speaker 3: of those games where it's like it's you get to
- 14:49Speaker 3: see a demonstration of the chemistry of the team and
- 14:53Speaker 3: it's just you see like this was a good example
- 14:56Speaker 3: of seeing two teams in different spots, where before I
- 14:59Speaker 3: said Alma as a team that really needs to like
- 15:01Speaker 3: resculpt everything. Napoli is in a position where it's like
- 15:04Speaker 3: they're they're identifying, like their core is basically more or
- 15:08Speaker 3: less being solidified again, you know, like besides, you know,
- 15:13Speaker 3: some new additions that are very been very crucial, you know,
- 15:15Speaker 3: like mcdomany has been very crucial. Loukaku obviously goes without
- 15:18Speaker 3: saying ah uh, you know, like obviously these new pieces,
- 15:26Speaker 3: you get yourself another top keeper and like because mere
- 15:30Speaker 3: is just he's okay. But if you get monopoly another
- 15:34Speaker 3: top keeper and once they get back into European competition,
- 15:39Speaker 3: he might have another chance of like being a seriously
- 15:41Speaker 3: competitive team and Citidy, yeah, they might have at like
- 15:44Speaker 3: right now, this is this is this is just the
- 15:46Speaker 3: benefit of just having one competition to worry about as well.
- 15:49Speaker 3: Like people need to keep that in context, like Napoli.
- 15:51Speaker 3: That's why I'm saying, like it's the It's like before
- 15:55Speaker 3: I was like, it's not a clear cut when Anapoli
- 15:57Speaker 3: is gonna win, Like it's not clear. They're doing very well,
- 16:01Speaker 3: very very well. I'm not taking that away from them.
- 16:04Speaker 3: But if we're talking about you know this, which team
- 16:07Speaker 3: is the most definite team to win my camera freeze
- 16:10Speaker 3: and might still hear you, guys, hear me you're good.
- 16:12Speaker 3: You're good, okay, because my computer froze and I'm like,
- 16:14Speaker 3: oh no, but yeah, uh fow my train of thought. Yeah,
- 16:21Speaker 3: they're in first place and you only have one competition
- 16:22Speaker 3: to worry about. But they only have twenty goals scored.
- 16:26Speaker 3: You know, Atholata's got thirty four, and they're they're nipping
- 16:30Speaker 3: at them, you know. It's yeah, they're gold differentials. Monopoli
- 16:34Speaker 3: is only plus eleven for their gold differential. Everybody in
- 16:36Speaker 3: the top six, let's say, had the lowest is plus fourteen,
- 16:41Speaker 3: and that's youve you know. So that's saying a lot
- 16:45Speaker 3: like I'm not saying that. I'm not saying that like
- 16:47Speaker 3: that's it's an insult towards you. I'm saying in the
- 16:49Speaker 3: sense where it's like, offensively, you know, you're you're not
- 16:53Speaker 3: producing thankfully defensively, you know, it's been great for them.
- 16:56Speaker 3: The system works, the conte ball works, where it's like
- 16:59Speaker 3: you win those one zero game games, Hey, you win
- 17:01Speaker 3: a championship, I don't care. That's that's all that matters
- 17:03Speaker 3: to me. I don't care if you win at one
- 17:05Speaker 3: zero the whole way through I mean New Jersey Devils
- 17:07Speaker 3: won three Stanley Cups playing the Trap system, Bruins one
- 17:09Speaker 3: their Stanley cuplaying counter drop. You know what I mean,
- 17:12Speaker 3: Like it's it's, it is what it is. I'd rather,
- 17:15Speaker 3: I'd rather win a game one zero than then win
- 17:20Speaker 3: the zero zero than taie zero zero, right, Like it's
- 17:24Speaker 3: it's I'd rather that, you know, like I'd rather anyways
- 17:28Speaker 3: before I keep on and repeating. So overall, it is
- 17:32Speaker 3: it sustainable, very iffy, very iffy. If you look at
- 17:37Speaker 3: Fidentina and last Seal, they're on fire right now. They're
- 17:41Speaker 3: they're killing it. Uh. Inn has slipped a bit, but
- 17:45Speaker 3: I don't expect them to continue having a little bit
- 17:48Speaker 3: of a trick this trickle effect. Uh. And Atalanta has
- 17:52Speaker 3: just been on fire like their guest Bedini's men are
- 17:55Speaker 3: are are playing as if they have a mission. You know,
- 17:58Speaker 3: they won Europa League last year. They're like, okay, next goal,
- 18:01Speaker 3: let's who you know. Uh, it's looking pretty good for them.
- 18:06Speaker 1: Yeah, guys, I actually, you know that was one thing
- 18:08Speaker 1: that I thought, you know, we should talk about comparing
- 18:11Speaker 1: Atlanta and into right now. I know, you know, I know,
- 18:16Speaker 1: not poleas first place, but it feels like the two
- 18:18Speaker 1: hottest teams because also they're getting the results done in Europe.
- 18:22Speaker 1: Is uh Inter and Atalanta. Yes at Alanto one six
- 18:27Speaker 1: to one in Champions League UH yesterday against Young Boys
- 18:31Speaker 1: and Inter was only only one nothing as leipsig A
- 18:34Speaker 1: wins a win and they're two of the top teams
- 18:37Speaker 1: in the Champions League table. I have I forget what
- 18:38Speaker 1: the exact standings are, but uh, like you said, there
- 18:43Speaker 1: you go. H. But like you said, Jenny, Inter, you
- 18:45Speaker 1: know they had a lot of you know, one goal
- 18:48Speaker 1: games against Leipstick, against Appley, against Arsenal Fanancia, but they
- 18:51Speaker 1: didn't score three against Empley at the end of October
- 18:55Speaker 1: four against you they scored five. They put five back
- 18:58Speaker 1: against UH Verona, so they're off fence. Is kind of
- 19:00Speaker 1: back at Talanta on on on the other hand, like
- 19:04Speaker 1: I said, six six goals against Young Boys, three against Parma,
- 19:07Speaker 1: two against you to as a two against Dutgart and
- 19:10Speaker 1: they put three past Napoly in that big win and
- 19:12Speaker 1: the beginning at the beginning of the month. The last
- 19:15Speaker 1: time they were held to a clean sheet UH was
- 19:19Speaker 1: against Celtic in October twenty third, and overall on the
- 19:25Speaker 1: season they've scored one goal or less. It seems like
- 19:30Speaker 1: about three four times in all competitions, which is just
- 19:33Speaker 1: which is just crazy there, you know, high powered machine.
- 19:36Speaker 1: It seems like every year we talked about Atalanta, we're like, okay,
- 19:40Speaker 1: maybe they won't be as good this year. You know,
- 19:41Speaker 1: they lost to a couple of pieces this year. They
- 19:43Speaker 1: you know what they actually they actually didn't really lose
- 19:46Speaker 1: that many players the Skytes besides Skamaka with his injury.
- 19:50Speaker 1: It's not like they sold a lot of players. They
- 19:52Speaker 1: actually went out and bought players, and that's what's you know,
- 19:54Speaker 1: for me, I think that's what's the difference. You look
- 19:57Speaker 1: at inter they just kept consistency. They had a school
- 19:59Speaker 1: at winning team last year. You know, they got a
- 20:02Speaker 1: couple of depth pieces here and there, but overall they
- 20:04Speaker 1: just kept back in that squad consistent. So you know,
- 20:07Speaker 1: it's it's interesting to see what happens when you actually
- 20:10Speaker 1: build your your course together. But for Atalanta, obviously, the
- 20:13Speaker 1: biggest one is adding rete Gee. I don't know how
- 20:15Speaker 1: many goals he's had on the season, but a lot.
- 20:19Speaker 1: It just seems like he's scoring all the time.
- 20:22Speaker 2: You know.
- 20:23Speaker 1: Between these two, you know, it's almost like in college football,
- 20:25Speaker 1: they do power rankings, right, they do, you know, top
- 20:28Speaker 1: twenty five rankings. If we had to do a rankings
- 20:30Speaker 1: right right now, who would be number one in the city.
- 20:33Speaker 1: Not We're not you know, we're not talking about standings.
- 20:35Speaker 1: We're talking about how just how good and powerful the
- 20:37Speaker 1: team is, because I'm not convinced Napoli is that true
- 20:40Speaker 1: number one power team that I know, Like Jenny just said,
- 20:44Speaker 1: so for me, it is between Antilanta, Atalanta and Intern.
- 20:47Speaker 1: If you guys had to do a rankings, where would
- 20:49Speaker 1: they rank?
- 20:51Speaker 2: That's a that's a good question. And also just to
- 20:53Speaker 2: add on, you know to Inter's you know stats there.
- 20:56Speaker 2: You know, they haven't considered going Europe in Champas League.
- 20:59Speaker 2: They haven't considered goal. I mean, you know, right now
- 21:03Speaker 2: in second place overall on the table after match day five, Uh,
- 21:08Speaker 2: there's what three games to go. H Atlanta's in fifth
- 21:10Speaker 2: like like we said just before, but having considered goal
- 21:13Speaker 2: in Europe in five games? Uh, you know, I don't
- 21:15Speaker 2: care what format it is. It pains me to say
- 21:18Speaker 2: as as a meal on East, but it's it's impressive.
- 21:21Speaker 2: It's it's something to to take note of not being
- 21:24Speaker 2: able to not conceiving anything in Europe is is crazy.
- 21:26Speaker 2: But in terms of said yeah, I don't know, like
- 21:29Speaker 2: it's for me, it's close. Like obviously, regardless of what
- 21:34Speaker 2: we say and what we do, I'm still sticking to
- 21:35Speaker 2: Nap Jude though from from our our preview episode for
- 21:39Speaker 2: for the season, but currently I don't know. I'm gonna
- 21:44Speaker 2: I'm gonna see Atalanta. I'm gonna go Atalanta just because
- 21:49Speaker 2: they did, you know, you know, to your point that
- 21:51Speaker 2: I think they did obviously that their biggest loss was
- 21:54Speaker 2: uh was what was cool miners?
- 21:56Speaker 1: Uh?
- 21:57Speaker 2: To to jove, I mean for for them, the attap miners,
- 22:01Speaker 2: like we said earlier, was on another level. Don't want
- 22:04Speaker 2: to use as a different story, but that mosing him
- 22:07Speaker 2: was was was huge, But again it funded what we're
- 22:10Speaker 2: seeing on the pitch now. I think, uh, losing your
- 22:13Speaker 2: striker in Kamaka, you know who had a great season
- 22:16Speaker 2: last year last year losing him and and like I said,
- 22:20Speaker 2: I don't know how many episodes ago, instantly flipping to say,
- 22:24Speaker 2: oh my god, we're gonna go grab Ritegi from Genua
- 22:27Speaker 2: and he's what he's talking to the cable cut race.
- 22:30Speaker 2: Things like fourteen goals I don't know if it's four,
- 22:32Speaker 2: I forget, if it's yes, it fourteen goals or competitions? Yes, twelve? No, no, sorry,
- 22:39Speaker 2: I can't. He has twelve in Sadia alone.
- 22:43Speaker 1: Yeah, he's at twelve. The next closest in City as
- 22:46Speaker 1: Rama nine and Kate Ken also nine and then look
- 22:49Speaker 1: him on at seven.
- 22:50Speaker 2: Yeah, but in all competitions he has like, what seventeen eighteen?
- 22:55Speaker 1: What is it?
- 22:57Speaker 2: I'm looking right now that up, but like it's just crazy.
- 23:03Speaker 2: So I think they've added pieces, they're trying to establish
- 23:07Speaker 2: that core. He's got fourteen goals and yeah, twenty four okay, sry,
- 23:12Speaker 2: I thought it was.
- 23:12Speaker 3: More fourteen goals, three assists in all competition so far.
- 23:17Speaker 2: Okay, so there you go. So seventeen points in all comms,
- 23:21Speaker 2: you know, I mean for getting his first Champions League
- 23:24Speaker 2: goal yesterday as well. So like it's uh, it's it's
- 23:28Speaker 2: I don't know. Gaspadini has this team on fire. It's
- 23:31Speaker 2: no discredit to what Inter's doing because I think obviously
- 23:34Speaker 2: you know they're one of the better teams and staid, Yeah,
- 23:37Speaker 2: that's that, that's clear. But I think if you want
- 23:39Speaker 2: to do current power rankings, ALLAH college football you know,
- 23:44Speaker 2: a league, corpse, soul, all that stuff. Like. You know,
- 23:48Speaker 2: I'm going to go at Atlanta. They look like the
- 23:51Speaker 2: harder team, and I think just as a as a
- 23:54Speaker 2: as a core, it seems to be working, you know,
- 23:57Speaker 2: pretty much weekend week out. They might have that slum,
- 24:00Speaker 2: they might have that that you know, that hiccup, but
- 24:04Speaker 2: you know, they they they find a way. That's pretty
- 24:07Speaker 2: much what it is. They find a way to get
- 24:09Speaker 2: it done. Their attack is seems to be lethal. It's
- 24:13Speaker 2: it's incredible. Uh the Taggy Lukman. It doesn't really matter
- 24:19Speaker 2: who it is. It's it's whoever is having their game.
- 24:23Speaker 2: It doesn't really matter like one's going to step up
- 24:25Speaker 2: if the other one doesn't, or they all step up,
- 24:27Speaker 2: or however it is. You know, they're they're there there.
- 24:30Speaker 2: So I'm going to go at Atlanta. But it's close.
- 24:33Speaker 2: It's close for me. Uh In there's you know, unfortunately,
- 24:37Speaker 2: a really really strong team and they're doing a lot
- 24:41Speaker 2: of things right and and they're even having the season
- 24:43Speaker 2: that they're having with you know, some of their top
- 24:45Speaker 2: players going going through dips. You know, you know, Lataro
- 24:49Speaker 2: kind of maybe having a bit of a dip, but
- 24:51Speaker 2: you know his teammates find the way to get that
- 24:54Speaker 2: one nil result or to to smash a team, you know,
- 24:57Speaker 2: in in one week or another. So it's it's close.
- 25:03Speaker 2: And even the coaches, if you want to break down
- 25:04Speaker 2: to the like the head to head to the coaches, guy,
- 25:06Speaker 2: I got Sperhini versus Zagie. Again, that's close for me.
- 25:09Speaker 2: I think got Sperdhini. For me, I still edges him
- 25:12Speaker 2: a bit. If we're talking about just currently, like just currently,
- 25:17Speaker 2: I would say got Sperdini just edges in Zagie. But
- 25:21Speaker 2: if you want to go the distance with that, maybe
- 25:23Speaker 2: it would be the other way around. But currently I'm
- 25:25Speaker 2: sticking on the ante at the train and for as
- 25:27Speaker 2: long as it's as long as it's powering and uh
- 25:30Speaker 2: and chugging away, I guess we'll have to jump on it.
- 25:35Speaker 2: You guys.
- 25:37Speaker 3: I think it's pretty straightforward. I I I do. I'm
- 25:40Speaker 3: not going to reinvent the wheel here and say I
- 25:43Speaker 3: do agree that it's Atalanta one enter two in my
- 25:45Speaker 3: personal opinion, but one team I do want to mention
- 25:48Speaker 3: for third place. I think there's a shot a shout
- 25:51Speaker 3: out is Fidentina I think right now, as of now
- 25:53Speaker 3: Fienanina is probably the third best team city in terms
- 25:56Speaker 3: of like performance and Whatnotuh was last time? Let's see
- 26:01Speaker 3: here looking at them. I know they lost, they won
- 26:03Speaker 3: their last five games from from Johnny, Yeah, but what
- 26:08Speaker 3: a surprise, right, But I think the thing that we
- 26:10Speaker 3: need to focus on is that they only have ten
- 26:12Speaker 3: goals against. That's third best in the league. Right, that's
- 26:16Speaker 3: first as Juve with only seven, apply second with nine,
- 26:20Speaker 3: and Fidentinas is third place with ten. Not much of it. Not,
- 26:24Speaker 3: they're not, They're not far off from being the best
- 26:27Speaker 3: defensive team. So uh, if I hear I'm clicking the
- 26:30Speaker 3: recent form, let's see your results. I know it's five.
- 26:34Speaker 3: In said, yeah, uh they lost in the conference league.
- 26:39Speaker 3: But one, two, three, four, five, six, seven, eight. Uh,
- 26:47Speaker 3: they're undefeated in their last ten, going nine and one
- 26:51Speaker 3: so far. In said yeah, nine oh one and their
- 26:54Speaker 3: last ten and said, yeah, that's that's that's something to
- 26:57Speaker 3: that's not something to scoff at. That's something to to
- 26:59Speaker 3: really pay attention to. And that's why I would put
- 27:01Speaker 3: them at put them at third. And we were talking
- 27:04Speaker 3: about you know, like players like moist Skiing just being
- 27:06Speaker 3: like rejuvenated on that roster, you know, like, which has
- 27:10Speaker 3: been very good. We talked about it last week, and
- 27:12Speaker 3: I think he's been a big cause of that. So
- 27:16Speaker 3: I first place, Atalanta dominant offensively, They're they're firing on
- 27:22Speaker 3: all cylinders. They have confidence, they they know who they are. Intersecond,
- 27:27Speaker 3: because it's inter inter. It's just been this well oiled
- 27:29Speaker 3: machine for the past three seasons, four seasons since they
- 27:33Speaker 3: won their nineteenth SCOO. That though, right, They've always been
- 27:36Speaker 3: that that threatening of a team and they haven't dipped
- 27:38Speaker 3: since uh and then they wonder twentieth and then third
- 27:42Speaker 3: place as of now in terms of power rankings would
- 27:45Speaker 3: have to be basically get a tea. In my eyes,
- 27:48Speaker 3: that's that's what.
- 27:49Speaker 1: I would go with.
- 27:50Speaker 2: I didn't give it, okay, I didn't give a top three.
- 27:52Speaker 2: I would I would throw in you know, I'm.
- 27:54Speaker 3: Just saying like because like, because like we well know
- 27:57Speaker 3: what what first and second is. So instead of repeating
- 27:59Speaker 3: what you said, because you've brought up amazing points, I'm
- 28:02Speaker 3: gonna regard you. I'm not just gonna repeat what you said.
- 28:04Speaker 3: I'm gonna throw in an additional thing.
- 28:06Speaker 2: But that's why I was and that's and that no, no,
- 28:09Speaker 2: and That's a good point because you know, I was
- 28:12Speaker 2: even throwing lots of in that conversation Lotso, you know,
- 28:17Speaker 2: under the radar, they don't get enough credit, I don't think,
- 28:20Speaker 2: or enough noise in terms of talking points you know,
- 28:24Speaker 2: by people and said, yeah, but but only has something
- 28:28Speaker 2: going on in Rome and it's it seems to be working.
- 28:33Speaker 2: You know, they're they're really picking up steam. I don't
- 28:37Speaker 2: think they started off the season maybe the best, but
- 28:40Speaker 2: as of weight that they've been, they've been, you know,
- 28:43Speaker 2: amazing to watch getting results. Their players talk about a
- 28:47Speaker 2: team that really went through losing top players to and
- 28:50Speaker 2: you know, filling in the voids and getting results. I
- 28:54Speaker 2: think it's a lot So uh currently, So if I
- 28:58Speaker 2: want to throw in, you know, a third team and
- 29:01Speaker 2: kind of because I liked how Jihnny did that in
- 29:04Speaker 2: the top three there, I would even throw a lots
- 29:06Speaker 2: So in there just as another name to to to
- 29:11Speaker 2: highlight because they're playing incredible football and uh, it's it's
- 29:15Speaker 2: it's a bit of a shock because I honestly don't
- 29:17Speaker 2: think many people would have thought Lotso would be where
- 29:20Speaker 2: they are currently at this point of the season. And
- 29:23Speaker 2: I don't think many people would have thought that bout
- 29:26Speaker 2: only was gonna, you know, pull the strings as he's
- 29:28Speaker 2: as as he's been doing as of light. So uh,
- 29:32Speaker 2: it's a it's a credit to them, it's a credit
- 29:34Speaker 2: to UH, to to upper management, to to to go
- 29:38Speaker 2: maybe that moneyball route. But it seems to be working,
- 29:41Speaker 2: uh for them, unlike for me one. But yeah, I
- 29:45Speaker 2: don't just want to throw in a lot so in
- 29:46Speaker 2: there because uh getting results and uh and competing in
- 29:50Speaker 2: in Seria and I believe their first in Europea League
- 29:53Speaker 2: if I'm not mistaken to uh in in UH in
- 29:55Speaker 2: that competition, so under the radar, find under the radar,
- 30:00Speaker 2: but definitely deserves.
- 30:02Speaker 3: A shout out.
- 30:04Speaker 1: I mean right now, you know, statistically the standings are
- 30:06Speaker 1: so tight.
- 30:07Speaker 2: You know, in N eight that's my teams.
- 30:12Speaker 1: But for me, I'd still put Inter ahead of Atlanta
- 30:15Speaker 1: solely based on the fact that they're coming off the
- 30:20Speaker 1: Scudeto season. They have the better players, they have the
- 30:23Speaker 1: better depth. So in terms of just overall a team,
- 30:29Speaker 1: I think in just slightly ahead of Atalanta. You know,
- 30:32Speaker 1: right now, it's close. If you're talking about the hottest teams,
- 30:36Speaker 1: I'd say Atlanta And you know that's where even Fiorentina
- 30:40Speaker 1: comes in. But in terms of just overall team strength
- 30:44Speaker 1: and just how powerful they are just how you know,
- 30:47Speaker 1: just how what's the best way to put it. I
- 30:52Speaker 1: guess you could say how scared their opponents are heading
- 30:55Speaker 1: into every week, But you can say that with Atalanta's
- 30:58Speaker 1: with any of these top teams, right, But you know,
- 31:01Speaker 1: inter for me, they just take the net, the the
- 31:05Speaker 1: the the lead there. Sorry, but I'd put an Opoly
- 31:10Speaker 1: third to be honest. You know, Fierantina they're a good team.
- 31:13Speaker 1: Let's who, They're a good team. But again I'm gonna
- 31:16Speaker 1: you know, Notopoly, just based on the coaching, based on
- 31:19Speaker 1: the players that they have, based on the depth, like
- 31:22Speaker 1: they're in first place, I'm you know, and it seems like,
- 31:25Speaker 1: I know, Johnny just talked about it, how they're not
- 31:28Speaker 1: it's not convincing just yet. But hey, they're getting the
- 31:31Speaker 1: job done and not the prettiest fashion. This is what
- 31:33Speaker 1: you've did for almost nine years or at least, you know,
- 31:36Speaker 1: six years or whatever it was, under a agree to
- 31:39Speaker 1: drink their nine year scudetto run. But no, it's it's
- 31:43Speaker 1: interesting because when you talk about just power rankings, you know,
- 31:46Speaker 1: American style there's there's a million different opinions, right, like,
- 31:51Speaker 1: as long as you don't put Como first, you know,
- 31:53Speaker 1: you're probably not wrong.
- 31:58Speaker 2: Okay, Johnny, you're the one that misses up your must
- 32:02Speaker 2: john It's okay.
- 32:04Speaker 1: I said if you put Como first. You didn't put
- 32:07Speaker 1: Como first, Puto tenth. That's fine.
- 32:10Speaker 3: Happened one day. You'll see.
- 32:15Speaker 1: Other I don't know if there's you know, much else
- 32:19Speaker 1: talk about from the city this weekend, unless you guys
- 32:22Speaker 1: have anything else talked about. But there's also you know,
- 32:25Speaker 1: Champions League. Do you guys want to move over to
- 32:28Speaker 1: the Champions League?
- 32:30Speaker 2: Sure? I think, uh but who else? Who else?
- 32:35Speaker 1: Uh?
- 32:35Speaker 2: Lacho? Who they play Bologna?
- 32:38Speaker 1: They beat Bologna three nothing Forantina beat Como to nothing.
- 32:44Speaker 1: You know, just we just talked about them. Just look,
- 32:47Speaker 1: these are the for them to be in the top
- 32:49Speaker 1: five position that they're in right now. These are the
- 32:50Speaker 1: ones they need. And they're both I have to see
- 32:56Speaker 1: their current forms. They're both on a win streak of
- 33:00Speaker 1: a minimum five games. I you know, quickly looked up
- 33:02Speaker 1: the standings on Google. It shows last five games. I
- 33:05Speaker 1: don't know how many games it is passed that at
- 33:08Speaker 1: least in the city. Same thing with Atalanta. Uh so
- 33:12Speaker 1: there's uh, there's a lot of winning up there. And
- 33:15Speaker 1: I you know, I know we talked about this either
- 33:17Speaker 1: last week or two weeks ago, but just in terms
- 33:19Speaker 1: of the title race, the fact that there's four teams
- 33:23Speaker 1: at twenty eight points and one at twenty nine through
- 33:25Speaker 1: thirteen games, just it's insane. H And I hope it
- 33:30Speaker 1: could be this tight through thirty thirty five, thirty seven games,
- 33:34Speaker 1: thirty eight games. You know, hopefully it doesn't finish like this.
- 33:37Speaker 1: The season is then you know, comes down to cold
- 33:40Speaker 1: differential the standings, but what a.
- 33:42Speaker 2: Blood pressure is going to be to the rule fish,
- 33:44Speaker 2: Yeah like.
- 33:44Speaker 1: This, So yeah, exactly, but you know, it is, it
- 33:47Speaker 1: is what it is.
- 33:48Speaker 2: But yeah, I think I wanted the one thing I
- 33:50Speaker 2: want to say before maybe we move on. I know
- 33:52Speaker 2: we kind of brought up in our in our group chat,
- 33:54Speaker 2: you know, the I know, our boy Nick Deanny brought
- 33:57Speaker 2: it up there, but you know, the top five coaches
- 34:01Speaker 2: currently in Sadiya. It was kind of a I kind
- 34:03Speaker 2: of like his what he kind of brought up there.
- 34:06Speaker 2: I don't know if you guys kind of maybe want
- 34:08Speaker 2: to bring it onto air here and uh and kind
- 34:10Speaker 2: of and kind of maybe a list your your top
- 34:12Speaker 2: five coaches currently in saidiya.
- 34:15Speaker 1: I'll be honest, I wasn't paying attention to chat, so
- 34:18Speaker 1: I'll just list my top five. Let's go Zagie, Guy, Spreeni,
- 34:22Speaker 1: and Conte. I'm not gonna put Baroni there, not, not
- 34:28Speaker 1: yet unless you're talking about current, current, current form. You
- 34:32Speaker 1: know you can put Baroni there, is not for me.
- 34:37Speaker 1: It's those three are in their own tier.
- 34:40Speaker 2: You know.
- 34:40Speaker 1: If we're gonna I think it might be easier to
- 34:43Speaker 1: put them in tiers because those three are are tier one,
- 34:46Speaker 1: you know, are you as you want? Who's number one?
- 34:49Speaker 1: Tier two? That's I'll put Monts in tier two.
- 34:52Speaker 3: Uh.
- 34:52Speaker 1: But for me, he's in the same tier as like
- 34:54Speaker 1: you know, even Paladino e Taliano. Again, I'm not gonna
- 35:01Speaker 1: put Berni there just yet. You know, he's having a
- 35:03Speaker 1: great season.
- 35:04Speaker 2: Wants to put he wants to put Mata. Okay, he's
- 35:09Speaker 2: doing well whatever he's doing, but he's not gonna put Berni. Okay,
- 35:12Speaker 2: who's okay? So who's who's you put those three? Who's
- 35:15Speaker 2: four and five? For you? Forget the tears? Who's four
- 35:18Speaker 2: and five?
- 35:20Speaker 1: You tell and Palladino. I'm not putting Mata there.
- 35:23Speaker 2: No way Paladine, Okay, I.
- 35:26Speaker 1: Wanna put I'm gonna put a Leager. I know he's
- 35:28Speaker 1: not in the city anymore. I'm gonna put a Lager
- 35:29Speaker 1: in tier one as well, put Sadi in tier two.
- 35:32Speaker 1: I know I'm gonna get a lot of hate for this,
- 35:34Speaker 1: but uh, this guy going for your.
- 35:38Speaker 2: Three guys, going for coaches that are not even in Seidi. Okay,
- 35:41Speaker 2: we're gonna move on, Johnny. Who's who's your top five
- 35:43Speaker 2: coaches in Cidia currently?
- 35:49Speaker 3: Uh? I think I probably do go Conte uh and Zagiapi.
- 36:01Speaker 3: I don't even know what Niche, My god, I don't
- 36:06Speaker 3: even know who.
- 36:08Speaker 2: After that, it's like it's tough.
- 36:10Speaker 3: It's just yeah, after that, it just becomes a bit
- 36:12Speaker 3: of a toss up, right, Like it just it's like
- 36:17Speaker 3: Matta was the hip choice but as a chas and
- 36:19Speaker 3: Taliano used to be the hip choice. But yeah, you know,
- 36:24Speaker 3: times of came and went. You know, it's as much
- 36:29Speaker 3: as I like Italiano, I still have high hopes for
- 36:32Speaker 3: him kind of keeping Bologna fall in a way ever since,
- 36:35Speaker 3: even even though they got pretty much decimated. So I
- 36:42Speaker 3: don't want to put fan Seca anywhere near that conversation.
- 36:44Speaker 2: Though, I don't worry, I forget, you know.
- 36:50Speaker 3: I'm just like, like my four fives are just gonna
- 36:52Speaker 3: be throwings, like it's just not in particular orders just
- 36:54Speaker 3: because they can screw it. I'll put because because I
- 36:58Speaker 3: hold him in higher standards. Italiana before and uh, I
- 37:03Speaker 3: mean I put Manta number five. I don't think he's
- 37:07Speaker 3: I mean like, it's just obviously, you know, it's his
- 37:10Speaker 3: first stint at a major club and defensively they're doing
- 37:12Speaker 3: very well, so it's it's kinda like it has a
- 37:15Speaker 3: bit to do with him, you know what I'm saying,
- 37:17Speaker 3: Like it's obviously it's the culture of Juventus, but not
- 37:20Speaker 3: in a bad way that it's the culture, but it's
- 37:23Speaker 3: he had to adapt to it and he did, so,
- 37:26Speaker 3: I mean he did, He's still going, he's still doing
- 37:28Speaker 3: doing it. So I probably put him, probably put him fifth,
- 37:31Speaker 3: and I put Italiano fourth because I just I personally
- 37:33Speaker 3: hold him in a little bit of a higher standard.
- 37:35Speaker 3: That's just a me thing. I don't think it's like
- 37:37Speaker 3: I can't really give proper scientific or statistical fact as
- 37:42Speaker 3: to why italianas their Mata, but because last year, you know,
- 37:45Speaker 3: with with Fidentina, you know it was he had an
- 37:48Speaker 3: opportunity and didn't go so well. So uh but like
- 37:52Speaker 3: for what they've been doing, kid Cesteconte, not just because
- 37:55Speaker 3: of like what he's doing yah, but what he's doing
- 37:57Speaker 3: now with Napoli, but also doing when he did in
- 38:00Speaker 3: the past. Like it's hard to historically, you know, it's
- 38:02Speaker 3: hard to beat that pedigree. So no matter where he goes,
- 38:05Speaker 3: he always brings that winning mentality. And then Zaggi, because
- 38:08Speaker 3: of his consistency, would enter like you know, he brought
- 38:10Speaker 3: him to a Champions League, finally won them two league titles,
- 38:13Speaker 3: like the like the man knows his team. Gasparini has
- 38:16Speaker 3: been like we we like to, like we said many times,
- 38:18Speaker 3: the moneyball team, and he just you could take anybody
- 38:21Speaker 3: at any time slought him into his system and they
- 38:23Speaker 3: just becomes this phenomenal player. It's like, you know how
- 38:28Speaker 3: there's that meme where it's like men will just sit
- 38:30Speaker 3: around and list like players like old random sports players
- 38:34Speaker 3: and stuff that's gonna be basically said he of fans
- 38:36Speaker 3: with random uh Atalanta players like, oh my god, remember Balanovski.
- 38:43Speaker 3: You're Melanovski rocket left foot.
- 38:48Speaker 1: You know, hey then hey, then what was the Atlanta
- 38:52Speaker 1: twenty four to twenty five season.
- 38:53Speaker 3: Like, yeah, exactly, Espin he has that ability to just
- 39:01Speaker 3: do that, you know. Uh so yeah, that's that. That
- 39:04Speaker 3: would probably be my my list, just going off the
- 39:07Speaker 3: top of my head here.
- 39:09Speaker 2: Yeah. Now for me, I would I think the top
- 39:12Speaker 2: three of for the three of us is pretty much walks.
- 39:16Speaker 2: You can, you know, pick your order as as you
- 39:18Speaker 2: as you please. But for me, it's it's Conte one,
- 39:22Speaker 2: Gasparini two, in Zagi three. Currently fourth, I would put
- 39:28Speaker 2: Palladino because for you know what, for me, you know, again,
- 39:34Speaker 2: currently what he's been able to do, I Fildina making
- 39:37Speaker 2: the jump from ones that to to Fieldentina. It's quite
- 39:41Speaker 2: a jump, even though it's kind of you know, you
- 39:44Speaker 2: want to see maybe middle of the pack type of jump.
- 39:46Speaker 2: In terms of team, he has this this Jorgentina side
- 39:51Speaker 2: playing you know, uh on on crazy form, you know,
- 39:55Speaker 2: on all cylinders. Uh, you know they're in the top four. Uh.
- 40:00Speaker 2: It's just his his approach to the game is a
- 40:04Speaker 2: modern one, and you know, I just bringing out guys
- 40:08Speaker 2: like like Keen, like we've been saying the time and
- 40:10Speaker 2: time again on the show, you know, rejuvenating his his
- 40:14Speaker 2: his young career has been incredible. I don't think I
- 40:19Speaker 2: don't think anybody had Keen has number two on the
- 40:22Speaker 2: couple of Kenyan areas. I'm sorry, but I don't nobody
- 40:24Speaker 2: had him anywhere near that after what he was not
- 40:26Speaker 2: able to produce a Uventus last year. The even I
- 40:28Speaker 2: don't even think scored a goal last year for you
- 40:30Speaker 2: of a or if that was two years ago, I
- 40:31Speaker 2: don't remember, but you know, second on the list top
- 40:34Speaker 2: score and said, yeah, nothing to snub. So I think
- 40:37Speaker 2: a lot of Fiarantina success, you know, this season I
- 40:42Speaker 2: think is a credit to what Paudino has been been
- 40:45Speaker 2: able to bring to them. So, yes, they have good players,
- 40:47Speaker 2: yes they have a good you know, good quality, but
- 40:52Speaker 2: I think we're able to bring that ship all together.
- 40:54Speaker 2: Is is is definitely Palladino. So for me, he was
- 40:57Speaker 2: sot in that four and then five. I know Nick
- 40:59Speaker 2: doesn't want to put them, but I'll put them. I'll
- 41:01Speaker 2: put but only at five. Uh, like I said earlier,
- 41:04Speaker 2: but only shock. I just what's that? What's that that
- 41:09Speaker 2: that meme they're shocked there or whatever?
- 41:11Speaker 3: But yeah, Becauys.
- 41:16Speaker 2: So it's just one of those things with bout only
- 41:19Speaker 2: that again it leavest me shocked a bit, but uh
- 41:22Speaker 2: that you know where they are at the table. And
- 41:25Speaker 2: just like I said, all the things I said earlier
- 41:27Speaker 2: is kind of what I don't want to rehash, but
- 41:29Speaker 2: that's kind of those are the little reasons why I
- 41:31Speaker 2: would put but only at five and again making a
- 41:34Speaker 2: jump too for him as well. You know, the the
- 41:38Speaker 2: was the Verona jumped to also same things, similar to
- 41:41Speaker 2: the ones that to Fiorentina for Palladino. These are these
- 41:44Speaker 2: are pretty big jumps, uh, you know, even though they're
- 41:47Speaker 2: not uh you know, maybe the big three in Italy,
- 41:50Speaker 2: it's uh, it's still you know, a big jump, a
- 41:53Speaker 2: big piazzat to go from one to the other. And
- 41:56Speaker 2: I think, you know, it might not have started off strong,
- 41:59Speaker 2: but it's it's it's going at a good rate right
- 42:01Speaker 2: now for for for Lazzo, and I think that's also
- 42:04Speaker 2: a credit to to to Bardoni and uh, you know,
- 42:07Speaker 2: winning that ship, you know, in on a good path.
- 42:10Speaker 1: So those will be my.
- 42:12Speaker 2: Top Fivesini and Zagi, Palladino, Boni and I don't know
- 42:17Speaker 2: if that's the carbon copy of what Nick DEJANEI said. Again,
- 42:21Speaker 2: if it is Nick, that's all credit to you. But
- 42:24Speaker 2: it just shows it. I guess we agree on something
- 42:28Speaker 2: in in terms of that. So that would be my
- 42:30Speaker 2: top five SADIA coaches currently.
- 42:33Speaker 1: Uh moving on to the Champions League. So we had five.
- 42:37Speaker 1: Obviously the five city teams play the past two days,
- 42:41Speaker 1: so on Tuesday, meanline, so this was part of the
- 42:44Speaker 1: first set of games. I was twelve fifty five on Tuesday,
- 42:47Speaker 1: uh Meanlan beat Bradislava three to two.
- 42:51Speaker 2: Uh.
- 42:51Speaker 1: And then later in the afternoon enter, like I said,
- 42:54Speaker 1: bead Leipzig one nothing and that's a lot to beat
- 42:56Speaker 1: up on the young boys six What I mean, I
- 42:58Speaker 1: guess it's not really fair.
- 43:00Speaker 2: Don't don't beat you board, don't be That's how we
- 43:05Speaker 2: promoting here. Just just claim.
- 43:08Speaker 3: And that's how the guys get.
- 43:11Speaker 1: Only have to only if if you have to play
- 43:13Speaker 1: your cousins in back their football Thanksgiving. I mean, just
- 43:16Speaker 1: beat them on the scoreboard.
- 43:17Speaker 3: That's what I Just beat them up sports and love no.
- 43:26Speaker 2: Moving along.
- 43:27Speaker 1: And then today I mean again another zero zero game
- 43:30Speaker 1: at Tolanta. You've a uh sorry Austin Villa. What am
- 43:33Speaker 1: I saying? At Talanta and Boloonia lost uh two to
- 43:37Speaker 1: one too uh lil. I mean it seems like Boloonia's
- 43:40Speaker 1: Champions League run, you know, it's pretty much. I mean
- 43:42Speaker 1: they're not mathematically eliminated. There are five points out of
- 43:47Speaker 1: you know, advancing out of that twenty four spot, which
- 43:50Speaker 1: is actually held by Real Madrid. They're five points out
- 43:52Speaker 1: with three games ago, so mathematically possible, you know, very unlikely.
- 44:00Speaker 1: But are you raised in nineteenth with eight points? Milan's
- 44:05Speaker 1: in sixteenth with an extra point at nine and then
- 44:08Speaker 1: enters in second just grinding Liverpool. Liverpool actually has max
- 44:12Speaker 1: points at fifteen and interns at thirteen. Atalanta is in
- 44:16Speaker 1: fifth at eleven, just a head elever cuson ten, so
- 44:20Speaker 1: that the two Europa League finalists from last season actually
- 44:23Speaker 1: are near the top of the leaderboard in the Champions League.
- 44:28Speaker 1: Any surprises, any thoughts from these games? I mean I
- 44:30Speaker 1: only watched I actually watch a bit of the Atalanta
- 44:33Speaker 1: Young Boys game. I mean, you know, obviously, you know,
- 44:36Speaker 1: offensive clinic put on by Atalanta. How many goals was
- 44:40Speaker 1: it by the kettlar to the score.
- 44:43Speaker 2: Two goals, three assists. Jesus Maldini New Guys Maldini new
- 44:49Speaker 2: what what was the story with you there?
- 44:51Speaker 1: What was he like Milan?
- 44:53Speaker 2: Yeah, they didn't give them, they didn't give them a chance. Yeah, typical,
- 44:57Speaker 2: typical meal and they go buy him for thirty five million.
- 45:00Speaker 2: He has a flop of a season, Okay, granted, uh,
- 45:03Speaker 2: don't give him more of a chance than that. It's
- 45:05Speaker 2: it's it's a shame. And then and then let him
- 45:07Speaker 2: go pretty much almost walk to Atalanta, up the street,
- 45:12Speaker 2: from Milan to Bagamo. It's up the street, and uh,
- 45:17Speaker 2: these are the results that that mean fans are seeing
- 45:19Speaker 2: and that are crying over because you know, a guy
- 45:23Speaker 2: like the cat who could have been uh, you know,
- 45:27Speaker 2: an additional piece for for me on is is now
- 45:30Speaker 2: up the street in the wrong colors, you know, putting
- 45:34Speaker 2: up good performances. Granted, you know what, you know, we
- 45:37Speaker 2: kind of what we kind of we're able to get
- 45:39Speaker 2: for you know, the cart ladder, we kind of were
- 45:42Speaker 2: able to bring in a superstar and postage and kind
- 45:45Speaker 2: of help our squad to what we see now. But
- 45:49Speaker 2: it would have been cool to see, you know, the
- 45:54Speaker 2: in in this you know, with Milan currently and hopefully
- 45:59Speaker 2: maybe producing you know results. But again I think also
- 46:02Speaker 2: On the flip side of that, the system that he's
- 46:05Speaker 2: in and who is playing under I think is really
- 46:09Speaker 2: activating the Catalada that I think maybe Maldini had a
- 46:13Speaker 2: sniff at to kind of say, hey, this is a
- 46:16Speaker 2: player of quality that can kind of maybe you know,
- 46:18Speaker 2: jump into Sadia and have an impact. Unfortunately, I don't
- 46:22Speaker 2: think it was under the right circumstances. Maybe under the
- 46:24Speaker 2: right coaching, and we see the right coach, the right system,
- 46:27Speaker 2: the right situation. We see what the Catialari is able
- 46:31Speaker 2: to do with Atalanta. And I think a lot of
- 46:33Speaker 2: the times with players now and in culture, but in
- 46:36Speaker 2: all sports, situation is you know, is a big factor
- 46:42Speaker 2: into you know, player success. It's always that case. But
- 46:47Speaker 2: you know how many times doing the number one draft
- 46:50Speaker 2: pick in American sports, they are amazing in college, they
- 46:54Speaker 2: were the top recruit this and that. You know, they
- 46:58Speaker 2: go to who the Bears in the in the football,
- 47:03Speaker 2: the you know, the Jaguars, the Raiders, the you know
- 47:06Speaker 2: the table Bears. You know these teams and when they
- 47:10Speaker 2: don't really produce at a high level. But you flip
- 47:13Speaker 2: over to and again I hate how I'm talking about
- 47:16Speaker 2: him because you know his team pisses me off, but
- 47:19Speaker 2: you go to uh Patrick Mahomes, you know, situation with
- 47:24Speaker 2: the Chiefs. That was a perfect situation for him and
- 47:28Speaker 2: he is not now so so iry to kind of
- 47:30Speaker 2: go off on attention to American football while we're talking
- 47:33Speaker 2: about Sea culture, but it's kind of the situation for
- 47:37Speaker 2: a player sometimes has a big, big effect on their success,
- 47:39Speaker 2: and I think what we see with the catala is
- 47:42Speaker 2: Is is a result of that.
- 47:44Speaker 1: So, uh, you know, one thing they want to mention. Actually,
- 47:48Speaker 1: you know we're talking about that. We talked about coaches before. Gaspardini.
- 47:52Speaker 1: I'm sure you guys saw you on social media. He
- 47:55Speaker 1: opened a you know, a pitching is in his hometown
- 47:59Speaker 1: of Goasco in uh in Torino. Just a personal anecdote
- 48:03Speaker 1: here because you guys know have family in Torino and
- 48:06Speaker 1: actually one of my cousin's kids was actually there, you know,
- 48:09Speaker 1: at the inauguration and actually got a picture with Gasparini,
- 48:13Speaker 1: so before it went viral, actually I saw the picture
- 48:16Speaker 1: on Facebook of the event, uh with him there, because
- 48:20Speaker 1: I I know, I knew, I knew beforehand he was
- 48:23Speaker 1: from from that town and that's where my and my
- 48:25Speaker 1: cousins live, so uh, you know, shout out to Gaspardini. Actually,
- 48:30Speaker 1: you know, off the pitch, off the professional pitch, you know,
- 48:33Speaker 1: does some good in the community and people might not
- 48:36Speaker 1: like him on the pitch and in the city. I
- 48:37Speaker 1: I know he gets a lot of cards and loves
- 48:39Speaker 1: to argue. I remember, you know, I'll ever forget watching
- 48:43Speaker 1: one game. I guess it was Atalanta Bologna during the
- 48:46Speaker 1: pandemic when there's no fans and you hear everything, and
- 48:49Speaker 1: him and Mihailovich were just yelling at each other. And
- 48:53Speaker 1: you know, Mahlevich was not was not, was not happy
- 48:56Speaker 1: with Gaspardini, and Gaspardini was the one who got kicked out.
- 48:59Speaker 1: But uh, but yeah, just personal adding thought. I mean,
- 49:02Speaker 1: at the end of the day, what matters is on
- 49:04Speaker 1: the pitch, right, you know, the results that that gets done.
- 49:07Speaker 1: So yeah, you know I was saying six six to one.
- 49:10Speaker 1: You know, I do want to talk about you have
- 49:11Speaker 1: a game. I had the opportunity to sit down and
- 49:13Speaker 1: watch it today. Uh, fully and you know, not surprising
- 49:17Speaker 1: results at all. Uh, with the circumstances, it was good,
- 49:23Speaker 1: uh to come up with a draw. But again it's
- 49:25Speaker 1: aston Villa. It's not like they went to Liverpool. Uh,
- 49:28Speaker 1: you know, no, no disrespect to Austin Villa. This there
- 49:31Speaker 1: there were the Bologna of of you know, the Premier
- 49:35Speaker 1: League last season where they're they're the team that made
- 49:38Speaker 1: a return to championshap after so many years. And you know,
- 49:42Speaker 1: just watching the game, just same, same old right for you.
- 49:46Speaker 1: Not a lot of chances. I know, had a good chance.
- 49:49Speaker 1: You've got a bit lucky towards the end. You know
- 49:52Speaker 1: obviously as Mill scored. I think it was a good call.
- 49:55Speaker 1: You know the Gregorio got got fouled, like he goes
- 49:59Speaker 1: up to play the ball, gets knocked like that's a foul.
- 50:01Speaker 1: You know it is it is, Uh, you know that's
- 50:04Speaker 1: what it is.
- 50:05Speaker 2: Uh.
- 50:06Speaker 1: He so he sold it a bit, but that he
- 50:09Speaker 1: plays the way he has.
- 50:10Speaker 2: The rest of the balls on the oars nomination.
- 50:14Speaker 1: Whoever, I forget which player was that hit him, Like,
- 50:16Speaker 1: you didn't even make a play on the ball. So
- 50:19Speaker 1: the fact that he didn't make the fact that he
- 50:20Speaker 1: didn't make a play on the ball was it was
- 50:22Speaker 1: pretty obvious. But other than that, like just a nothing game.
- 50:27Speaker 1: That's that's what's frustrating watching you. It's like it's not
- 50:31Speaker 1: even exciting to watch right, zero zero, how many zero zeros?
- 50:35Speaker 1: I could look it up after how many zeros zeros
- 50:38Speaker 1: he's done. There was a stretch of what three four
- 50:40Speaker 1: in row in September October.
- 50:42Speaker 4: It's just they have on the season, they have one
- 50:44Speaker 4: nine draws or something, seven in Siya, seven in City
- 50:53Speaker 4: and then two two in Champions League.
- 50:56Speaker 1: So yeah, you're nine draws, eight wins, nine draws and
- 50:59Speaker 1: a loss and Champions League. That's crazy. Oh yeah, yeah,
- 51:03Speaker 1: but yeah, that's pretty much it for for Youve. Uh
- 51:07Speaker 1: I don't know if you have a chance to watch
- 51:08Speaker 1: Melong game, Johnny. I don't know if you want to
- 51:10Speaker 1: jump in here at all with these with these stuff.
- 51:13Speaker 2: Yes, sorry Johnny.
- 51:16Speaker 3: Now I've just been like really like busy with like
- 51:18Speaker 3: real life stuff, so I haven't a chance to even
- 51:20Speaker 3: watch anything remote close.
- 51:21Speaker 2: Soccer teams are not there, so there's there's nothing, john.
- 51:26Speaker 3: I don't even get any updates about like what's going on.
- 51:28Speaker 3: I'm just there like okay, But uh no for me.
- 51:33Speaker 2: For the mean game on Shuesday yesterday, I was able
- 51:38Speaker 2: only catch the first off. I couldn't catch the second half.
- 51:42Speaker 2: I always say it. Unfortunately we work here in North America,
- 51:45Speaker 2: so it's it's hard sometimes to catch the games, but
- 51:49Speaker 2: I was able to catch the first half. I saw
- 51:51Speaker 2: the pools, so uh for that it was it was,
- 51:55Speaker 2: it was good. But again it's lucky, I think is uh,
- 52:00Speaker 2: you know, obviously it's it's three wins in a row
- 52:03Speaker 2: in Champions League for me on but it's lucky in
- 52:07Speaker 2: this one three tours the final result. I don't think
- 52:10Speaker 2: that it's unfortunately that that last how that last will
- 52:13Speaker 2: end up, uh, you know, going in and hell of
- 52:15Speaker 2: a goal by uh Marcelli there that the Slovak kid there,
- 52:19Speaker 2: but I thought it was a follow up on the
- 52:23Speaker 2: other side of the pitch. They went on the counter
- 52:24Speaker 2: attack and they ended up scoring it. But uh, which
- 52:28Speaker 2: was unfortunately. I think it probably was more of the
- 52:31Speaker 2: three one game rather than the three tours. But lucky,
- 52:34Speaker 2: I think in the sense that you know, it could
- 52:38Speaker 2: have been it was one one a half time, it
- 52:40Speaker 2: could have easily been to one. I think Pavlovich's goal
- 52:43Speaker 2: one clearance there was was was it was a big
- 52:45Speaker 2: play by him, heads up play by him, uh, you know,
- 52:49Speaker 2: getting uh getting that that one throw ball right through
- 52:52Speaker 2: our defense Swiss cheese of a defense that we we
- 52:55Speaker 2: seem to have currently, uh you know, able to you know,
- 52:59Speaker 2: make make a have a chance for for for brought
- 53:02Speaker 2: to Slava. So uh, it's it's one of these same
- 53:05Speaker 2: same old stories for for me one defensively it seems
- 53:08Speaker 2: to be this season and it's it's it's worrisome, but
- 53:11Speaker 2: you know, luckily in this matchup we're able to score, uh,
- 53:15Speaker 2: you know, enough goals to to to get us to win.
- 53:17Speaker 2: And as three not only is it three goal sorry
- 53:21Speaker 2: three wins in a role for me on in the
- 53:23Speaker 2: Champions League. It's three games in a role in Champions
- 53:25Speaker 2: League that they score three goals at least three goals,
- 53:28Speaker 2: which is which is a first for them. I think
- 53:31Speaker 2: it's since I think it was nineteen eighty nine. I
- 53:34Speaker 2: from no mistake and I saw I start there curly
- 53:36Speaker 2: earlier today. So incredible, Uh, into in that in those cases,
- 53:42Speaker 2: in those statements, but lucky in the sense that, like
- 53:46Speaker 2: I said, a halftime, it could have easily been to
- 53:48Speaker 2: one for for Brettislava. Uh it was one to one.
- 53:53Speaker 2: Don't start layout to start the game again from Fonseca.
- 53:58Speaker 2: Not sure why again it's he has his his ank
- 54:02Speaker 2: notes in his head and you know Yeah, we need
- 54:04Speaker 2: to rest him here so we could play him there
- 54:07Speaker 2: where you're paying this guy fucking six million euros or
- 54:09Speaker 2: whatever it is put to get on the pitch. I
- 54:12Speaker 2: don't know. Fun Seca is very weird in his in
- 54:17Speaker 2: his selections, but you know, luckily for him it was
- 54:20Speaker 2: able to pay off. He changes them him for okafor
- 54:24Speaker 2: uh right after halftime and he's able to to get
- 54:28Speaker 2: his his Champions League goal. Uh. A man of the
- 54:31Speaker 2: performance for him. Hell helva play?
- 54:34Speaker 1: Uh?
- 54:35Speaker 2: You know the final pass through ball pass, Tommy Abraham
- 54:40Speaker 2: letting it run, you know, kind of making it go
- 54:43Speaker 2: through his legs, letting that run, and and leyel on
- 54:46Speaker 2: On on the on the left side, they're being able
- 54:48Speaker 2: to get through and poking it through, Uh, poking the past,
- 54:51Speaker 2: sorry the keeper to get his goal. Uh. And then
- 54:53Speaker 2: Tommy Abraham right place, right time after a mistake by
- 54:56Speaker 2: Brad Slava puts it past and uh, you know a
- 55:00Speaker 2: their shout out. I guess is the tammy a Brown.
- 55:02Speaker 2: You know, he's he was involved in all three of
- 55:05Speaker 2: me On's goals he assists for Pools, being that point
- 55:09Speaker 2: that dummy uh, you know, for on the layout goal
- 55:13Speaker 2: and then getting his goal to make it three to
- 55:16Speaker 2: one at that point. So, uh, you know, kudos to him,
- 55:20Speaker 2: a player that you know, we spoke about it at
- 55:23Speaker 2: Links and when that deal went through with a swap
- 55:25Speaker 2: deal with Solid Makers between me and and Roma. But
- 55:30Speaker 2: I think, you know, Tommy has had his moments. He
- 55:33Speaker 2: you know, could have had more goals I think at
- 55:35Speaker 2: this point in the stage of this season. But you know,
- 55:38Speaker 2: we'll take what we can get, I guess from with him.
- 55:40Speaker 2: But overall good in terms of getting the win. Climbing
- 55:45Speaker 2: up that Champions League table, like you said, Nick Crimely
- 55:49Speaker 2: in sixteenth nine points is very close too though, you know,
- 55:53Speaker 2: to get into that top eight there it's I think
- 55:55Speaker 2: the last place team there is do they have eleven
- 55:58Speaker 2: or do they have ten?
- 56:00Speaker 1: Remember now in the top eight, it's Monaco at ten, it's.
- 56:03Speaker 2: A Monico at ten, So it's very close. Goal differentials
- 56:06Speaker 2: is a big thing, I think down the stretch here
- 56:08Speaker 2: with how many teams are fighting for only eight spots
- 56:12Speaker 2: to automatic qualification to the next round. But yeah, just
- 56:18Speaker 2: it's onto the next one. In terms of Champions League
- 56:20Speaker 2: for me one, I think they need to continue on
- 56:24Speaker 2: this form because it seems like they're having better current
- 56:27Speaker 2: better Champions League form than they are in Sadiya, so
- 56:31Speaker 2: they need to they need to continue with that. Then
- 56:33Speaker 2: I think they'll be on their way. But I think
- 56:37Speaker 2: the highlight of the Italian team so far in Champions
- 56:40Speaker 2: League obviously was Atalanta the six to one result with
- 56:43Speaker 2: Tag again his first Champions League goal. Uh, you know,
- 56:46Speaker 2: just out the Larius performance, a nine point eight rating,
- 56:50Speaker 2: that's almost unheard of these days. So two goals, three assists,
- 56:54Speaker 2: like we said earlier, incredible, But I think all the no, sorry,
- 57:00Speaker 2: it's for the Italian teams, the five Italian teams, it's
- 57:03Speaker 2: what three wins are drawing a loss, not a bad
- 57:07Speaker 2: not a bad mick midweek Champions League, you know, match
- 57:11Speaker 2: day for for the Italian teams will take it. But
- 57:14Speaker 2: when they get in their first Champions League goal, which
- 57:16Speaker 2: was nice, ultimate couldn't get the result. They only have
- 57:20Speaker 2: one points, sitting in thirty third place. It's a mountain
- 57:23Speaker 2: to climb, but it's not. It's not over yet, so
- 57:26Speaker 2: we'll we'll see if they end up cracking the top
- 57:29Speaker 2: twenty four or that that twenty four there. But yeah,
- 57:34Speaker 2: just uh, as many teams as many said that teams
- 57:37Speaker 2: as we can see can you know go past the
- 57:39Speaker 2: thing is is the ultimate goal for Italian soccer. But yeah,
- 57:44Speaker 2: pretty pretty decent match day for free talent teams just
- 57:47Speaker 2: this week.
- 57:48Speaker 1: You know, it's funny, you know, you say Blogna talk
- 57:52Speaker 1: about Bologna scoring the first goal today. They've only had
- 57:54Speaker 1: seven goals against in the in the sorry, in the
- 57:57Speaker 1: Champions League. You know, they're in thirty third place. The
- 58:00Speaker 1: teams below them have ten eighteen to seventeen goals against.
- 58:03Speaker 1: They have one of the best defensive records in the
- 58:05Speaker 1: champ in the Champions League this season, you know, Real
- 58:07Speaker 1: Madrid's a lot more goals even even at the top
- 58:10Speaker 1: of the table. You know, Monico is in eighth place
- 58:13Speaker 1: with seven goals against. Obviously, the big difference is the
- 58:16Speaker 1: twelve goals four. Yeah, but even you've a you know,
- 58:20Speaker 1: five goals against and into like you said zero at
- 58:25Speaker 1: Atlanta one and mean line uh eight, Actually so so
- 58:30Speaker 1: so Melan is actually a lot of the most goals
- 58:32Speaker 1: against at all, all the Italian teams and Champions League,
- 58:35Speaker 1: and they're in they're the third best team in the
- 58:38Speaker 1: So at the end of the day, it's it's how
- 58:39Speaker 1: many goals you score. But uh, yeah, I think I
- 58:44Speaker 1: think for you. Ay, I'm sorry, I was gonna say
- 58:47Speaker 1: next next round is is actually pretty big because uh
- 58:51Speaker 1: they play there's some spicy matches that next round. You've
- 58:55Speaker 1: plays man City on the eleventh, December eleventh, and at
- 58:59Speaker 1: Atlanta plays Real Madrid. It feels like every season we're
- 59:01Speaker 1: having this matchup.
- 59:04Speaker 2: That's a crazy matchup. Yeah, Real and Atalanta.
- 59:07Speaker 1: Yeah, Real and Atalanta. Uh inter plays against lever Custon,
- 59:11Speaker 1: two of the top teams in the table. And Meline
- 59:14Speaker 1: feels like they're always playing week teams each year they're
- 59:16Speaker 1: playing uh red Star Belgrade.
- 59:21Speaker 2: They started off with all the the hot team. Yeah yeah,
- 59:25Speaker 2: off with a better if you want to call a
- 59:27Speaker 2: better fixture list.
- 59:28Speaker 1: True, and then blown In playes Benfica, so we have
- 59:31Speaker 1: to wait two weeks. And then after that they played
- 59:33Speaker 1: in January. Uh yeah, so that's it. And then yeah,
- 59:37Speaker 1: looking guys, looking forward for up looking for the city
- 59:39Speaker 1: of games. This weekend, Roma plays that Atlanta, so godding
- 59:44Speaker 1: good luck to Roma. We'll see what Dey did and
- 59:46Speaker 1: Billy Don could do. Uh And and then Napoli. Napoli
- 59:51Speaker 1: travels to Torino. Melan is home hosting emplely and then
- 59:56Speaker 1: Juve is away to Leh and then I think the
- 59:59Speaker 1: matchup of the week though Sparantina entered two teams on
- 1:00:02Speaker 1: twenty eight points. That's so, you know, this is where
- 1:00:06Speaker 1: you could start to see some separation in the top five.
- 1:00:09Speaker 1: But knowing the city, this is gonna end up as
- 1:00:11Speaker 1: a draw. You think we'll see. We'll see that it's
- 1:00:15Speaker 1: gonna be the same thing. No, Police's gonna go to
- 1:00:17Speaker 1: thirty two. Then all the other teams are gonna be
- 1:00:19Speaker 1: a thirty uh you know, not thirty one. Maybe it
- 1:00:21Speaker 1: will be thirty one, thirty one, and then twenty nine
- 1:00:23Speaker 1: to twenty nine and in turn Tarantina's case. But we'll see,
- 1:00:26Speaker 1: uh guys, any any thoughts expectations for this week? Jenny,
- 1:00:31Speaker 1: what do you think Romo will do against Atalanta? If anything, Yeah,
- 1:00:37Speaker 1: they'll show up.
- 1:00:38Speaker 3: They'll show up, They'll they'll they'll feel the eleven men.
- 1:00:40Speaker 3: That's that's that's my prediction.
- 1:00:43Speaker 2: That's the rock bottom Romo fan of that that Roma
- 1:00:46Speaker 2: fans are ot. It's crazy.
- 1:00:47Speaker 3: Eleven players are gonna show up to the pitch.
- 1:00:50Speaker 2: And and Ron the area will be on the touch line.
- 1:00:52Speaker 2: That's about it.
- 1:00:53Speaker 1: Remember that time. Who is what was it Fonseca? Was
- 1:00:57Speaker 1: it when fonseco is Romo's coach he made six obstitutions
- 1:01:01Speaker 1: once and then I don't remember he had they had
- 1:01:05Speaker 1: to forfeit the game. Jenny, do you remember this?
- 1:01:08Speaker 3: Oh my god, Yeah, we're talking about this at the
- 1:01:10Speaker 3: radio station.
- 1:01:12Speaker 1: Was it was it?
- 1:01:12Speaker 2: Fun to No?
- 1:01:13Speaker 1: I think it was. I think he was the pandemic.
- 1:01:16Speaker 2: I wouldn't put it possive.
- 1:01:18Speaker 1: It was a Copdalian game. I have to. I have
- 1:01:22Speaker 1: to look this up after. Maybe it's Mendel effect. Maybe
- 1:01:25Speaker 1: I'm misremembering.
- 1:01:29Speaker 3: Remembering.
- 1:01:30Speaker 2: Yeah, no, but uh yeah, Atlanta should I mean, sorry
- 1:01:36Speaker 2: Roma fans, but I think they'll probably steamroll Roma unfortunately.
- 1:01:41Speaker 3: No, that's okay, that's how you really feel.
- 1:01:45Speaker 2: No, but listen, you know it is kind of it.
- 1:01:47Speaker 2: It is what it is. I think if Roma, if Roma,
- 1:01:54Speaker 2: I don't know, Roma has to step up defensively because
- 1:01:56Speaker 2: clearly they can't score, and clearly they can't pretty It
- 1:02:00Speaker 2: was you know, attacking threats. But and if they do,
- 1:02:04Speaker 2: they get scored on. So it's one of those things.
- 1:02:07Speaker 2: But I don't know. They're gonna have to play defensively
- 1:02:09Speaker 2: well solid, but it's gonna be tough. I think the
- 1:02:11Speaker 2: bigger one obviously, like you said, Nick, the matchup of
- 1:02:13Speaker 2: the week. As as Nick is looking up, if it
- 1:02:17Speaker 2: was in fact fun Seca that made six substitutions or is.
- 1:02:20Speaker 1: It no Jenny who was their coach in the twenty
- 1:02:24Speaker 1: twenty twenty one season, because that's when it happened. It
- 1:02:28Speaker 1: was Cope Italia and in twenty twenty one it was
- 1:02:30Speaker 1: in the quarterfinals. It was a random sixteen.
- 1:02:33Speaker 2: It wasn't not Rudy Garcia. No, who was it?
- 1:02:37Speaker 3: Oh my god, I'd have been Was it Morio?
- 1:02:41Speaker 2: No, couldn't have been not yet Marilla.
- 1:02:46Speaker 1: No, it was it was Seca.
- 1:02:48Speaker 2: It was.
- 1:02:51Speaker 1: Yeah, they made six substitutions when you were only allot
- 1:02:54Speaker 1: five and they actually had to forfeit the game. They
- 1:02:57Speaker 1: they did lose the game against they lost in uh In.
- 1:03:02Speaker 1: It didn't matter extra time, so it didn't matter. But
- 1:03:06Speaker 1: you know, on paper they lost three nothing. So we
- 1:03:10Speaker 1: we don't know if ro will actually field eleven proper players.
- 1:03:14Speaker 2: You know they will wind up with eleven. It's if
- 1:03:18Speaker 2: they'll make six substitutions. That's the kicker. We don't know that.
- 1:03:22Speaker 2: Yeady is he still in retirement. Is he half in,
- 1:03:25Speaker 2: half out? See? But uh no, that doesn't shock me
- 1:03:29Speaker 2: that it was fun. Second, if he does that for Melan,
- 1:03:32Speaker 2: I think I think podcast over, we're gonna fucking shut
- 1:03:35Speaker 2: it down. You know, TVs are broken, everything small, smashing tables.
- 1:03:40Speaker 2: That would I would go as if that happens.
- 1:03:43Speaker 1: But he was a visionary because now you're allowed to
- 1:03:46Speaker 1: six substitution in extra time.
- 1:03:49Speaker 2: So he was just you know, he was okay, fine,
- 1:03:53Speaker 2: all right. If you want to say that he walked
- 1:03:56Speaker 2: so we could run, I guess, yeah, you know, one
- 1:03:58Speaker 2: of those, but I don't still piss me off. But
- 1:04:03Speaker 2: but anyways, I think the bigger matchup and you said
- 1:04:06Speaker 2: Nick and you want to I just want to touch
- 1:04:07Speaker 2: mine quickly, maybe before we wrap this up. But uh,
- 1:04:10Speaker 2: you know, the like you said in there and Fiordentina,
- 1:04:12Speaker 2: where is it being played? Is it in Florence or
- 1:04:14Speaker 2: is it in Yeah, it's in Fidanza. Yeah at the
- 1:04:19Speaker 2: Frankie it's gonna be That's a that's a huge matchup,
- 1:04:21Speaker 2: I think, Yeah, you know, draw, I don't know, it's good.
- 1:04:26Speaker 2: That's gonna be tough. It just if if they can
- 1:04:30Speaker 2: if fident think a weather the storm of Inter's depth.
- 1:04:33Speaker 2: I think is it will be the only thing, you know,
- 1:04:35Speaker 2: the only thing in their favorite because I think they're
- 1:04:37Speaker 2: too strong teams. But you know, it's still in there unfortunately,
- 1:04:43Speaker 2: uh for you know, for for Furnanentina's sake. So I
- 1:04:47Speaker 2: don't know. We'll have to see, is it is it
- 1:04:50Speaker 2: gonna be in Zachie classing Pauladino or Paulina, gonna pull
- 1:04:54Speaker 2: one under the hat and uh and and and pull
- 1:04:56Speaker 2: one past uh the almighty in there. We'll see. I
- 1:04:58Speaker 2: think it's it's it's one that everybody should be watching
- 1:05:02Speaker 2: this weekend and say, yeah, but quickly Europe a week
- 1:05:06Speaker 2: tomorrow and Conference League, Who's who's playing farmers Farmers Roman quoted?
- 1:05:14Speaker 2: I'm sorry, guys, it's.
- 1:05:17Speaker 1: I have to look this up. I love Google because
- 1:05:22Speaker 1: you could. You'll search up Conference League and there's teams
- 1:05:25Speaker 1: without logos.
- 1:05:27Speaker 2: No Fidentina, But who's playing your rope a week.
- 1:05:30Speaker 1: You'll belief in Latio is playing lud Ludo gurrets that's ludicrous.
- 1:05:35Speaker 1: Uh and Roma's Roma is away to ton them?
- 1:05:41Speaker 2: Wow? So and then and then Fiordentina and Conference League
- 1:05:45Speaker 2: they're playing another name I.
- 1:05:47Speaker 1: Believe who Paphosafos, the Greek guys, Greek Cypress, same thing, Cypress.
- 1:05:56Speaker 1: There's there's a team called Learne Learn Learn in the
- 1:06:02Speaker 1: Conference League. But quickly it looks like Leam is.
- 1:06:06Speaker 2: The r in the end, you know, yeah together, uh
- 1:06:09Speaker 2: so in the in those three I'm gonna say two
- 1:06:13Speaker 2: wins in A in A an a loss. That's so.
- 1:06:17Speaker 2: I think wins Fidentina, I think wins and Roma loses. Unfortunately,
- 1:06:21Speaker 2: that's how I see it. I don't know if there's
- 1:06:25Speaker 2: any agreement or disagreement there, but I.
- 1:06:28Speaker 1: Have no ques.
- 1:06:29Speaker 2: I'm not.
- 1:06:32Speaker 1: No clue. Let's wait safe every Italian team draws.
- 1:06:37Speaker 3: Okay, Johnny, Sorry, sorry, I've been prepping quiz for my students.
