• 0:29
  Speaker 1: guys doing.
• 0:31
  Speaker 2: Doing good? Doing good?
• 0:33
  Speaker 3: I'm okay finding off a cold, but it could be worse.
• 0:37
  Speaker 1: You could be Roma.
• 0:40
  Speaker 4: Actually, actually, I think I think I think Roma's pretty
• 0:45
  Speaker 4: happy with this weekend. Yeah, we'll get there, We'll get maybe.
• 0:49
  Speaker 1: Yeah, we might as well start with that Johnny Derby
• 0:55
  Speaker 1: Dell Janine. If I mean Adria has a gem of
• 0:58
  Speaker 1: a picture.
• 1:00
  Speaker 2: You're not his favorite derby.
• 1:01
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Adri has a picture that he's posted on social
• 1:06
  Speaker 1: media before Johnny. Uh was it like congratulating himself with
• 1:12
  Speaker 1: both a Napoly and Roma jackets.
• 1:15
  Speaker 2: That was That was Spalletti and Riot at the beginning
• 1:21
  Speaker 2: of a game one of the derbies in Whenever. That
• 1:24
  Speaker 2: was two years ago now, Uh yeah, and I had
• 1:28
  Speaker 2: to put the iconic Johnny face on it. I didn't
• 1:30
  Speaker 2: post it this weekend. I got caught up with stuff,
• 1:33
  Speaker 2: but the Russ assure it was it was sent into
• 1:36
  Speaker 2: our in our chats, and uh, you know everybody loves
• 1:39
  Speaker 2: the Derby Dog I need Yeah.
• 1:41
  Speaker 3: Even Johnny loves.
• 1:45
  Speaker 1: Yeah.
• 1:47
  Speaker 4: It crazy game, honestly a crazy game. If you're a
• 1:52
  Speaker 4: ROMA fan, you're really happy with this result, and if obviously,
• 1:56
  Speaker 4: if you're a Napotly fan, you're extremely extremely disappointed with
• 2:00
  Speaker 4: this final result. It's not how you wanted it to end,
• 2:04
  Speaker 4: especially if you're competing for a first place. Right now,
• 2:07
  Speaker 4: that draw just gives like inter punching distance into getting in.
• 2:11
  Speaker 4: They have a game in hand and that's three points now,
• 2:14
  Speaker 4: a gap that they can just easily make and tie.
• 2:17
  Speaker 3: Not believe it.
• 2:19
  Speaker 4: And it also hurts because you play solid throughout the
• 2:22
  Speaker 4: entire game, you know, pretty much like suffocating. Roma's like
• 2:28
  Speaker 4: good chances even though they've got more shots off. It's
• 2:31
  Speaker 4: like there wasn't anything really of superior quality. Men I
• 2:34
  Speaker 4: actually played above is like play played well. You played
• 2:38
  Speaker 4: very well, made some crucial saves besides our last one
• 2:40
  Speaker 4: on a anguillinoo.
• 2:43
  Speaker 3: However it's pronounced, but I mean, okay, do you can't
• 2:47
  Speaker 3: stop them all? But monopoly side of things, it's.
• 2:52
  Speaker 4: This one's one that you're like at the end of
• 2:54
  Speaker 4: the day when you're gonna get at the end of
• 2:55
  Speaker 4: the season where you're gonna be counting, like you're counting
• 2:57
  Speaker 4: your points and like pinching your pennies, so to speak,
• 2:59
  Speaker 4: in terms of like, but your results were in the season,
• 3:01
  Speaker 4: this might be the game that could be the make
• 3:05
  Speaker 4: or break for the Scudetto, because it's it's one of
• 3:09
  Speaker 4: those games, like I don't know, like it might be.
• 3:11
  Speaker 3: I'm not saying it will be the game. Who knows.
• 3:13
  Speaker 4: Maybe this is the draw is a meritive result, but
• 3:17
  Speaker 4: it's still it's still it's still hurts, especially when the
• 3:20
  Speaker 4: whole grand scheme of things because in terms of team,
• 3:24
  Speaker 4: that's not gonna be a team that you're gonna have to.
• 3:26
  Speaker 3: Be like, okay, like, oh, they're gonna draw a couple
• 3:28
  Speaker 3: more games. No, they're a very strong team. They they're not.
• 3:31
  Speaker 3: Their draws are going to be very few and far apart.
• 3:33
  Speaker 2: So it's it's.
• 3:36
  Speaker 3: That's where that's what hurts roma side of things.
• 3:38
  Speaker 4: This is a fantastic draw in terms of morale, uh
• 3:42
  Speaker 4: recent form, you know, like you like, what was the
• 3:45
  Speaker 4: last time they lost in city? Yeah, that's to have
• 3:48
  Speaker 4: been like at least like seven eight games ago about more.
• 3:52
  Speaker 1: I will look that up for you, please do now,
• 3:59
  Speaker 1: seven seven game undefeated streak. So they lost, they lost
• 4:05
  Speaker 1: too on December fifteenth.
• 4:08
  Speaker 3: There you go, top ten Teammo, what's gonna happen?
• 4:12
  Speaker 4: And I will be sure that will be proven right
• 4:14
  Speaker 4: but the speaking of a new top ten team is
• 4:16
  Speaker 4: Uroma right now? With that draw, you you definitely want
• 4:20
  Speaker 4: to see that.
• 4:21
  Speaker 2: You're happy with that.
• 4:22
  Speaker 3: Fangnetti's ra a Roma.
• 4:24
  Speaker 4: Even though it's just a quick patch job, it's been
• 4:27
  Speaker 4: paying paying off very well. I think especially that last
• 4:33
  Speaker 4: like that last Mening goal, it was a great off
• 4:35
  Speaker 4: the volley goal, Like you can't really like it. I
• 4:39
  Speaker 4: felt like even though made could have like didn't make
• 4:41
  Speaker 4: an effort, it was way too wide for it to
• 4:43
  Speaker 4: even get to it, Like they're taking like some kind
• 4:45
  Speaker 4: of superb jump to reach it, which I don't think
• 4:49
  Speaker 4: ninety nine goalies are able to do. So, you know, fantastic,
• 4:55
  Speaker 4: fantastic job. On the opposite end of the thing, Spinazzola
• 4:59
  Speaker 4: scoring against this former team, it kind of was like
• 5:01
  Speaker 4: it was like I was excited, but it was also
• 5:03
  Speaker 4: like bittersweet because I'm like I wanted to do that
• 5:06
  Speaker 4: with Roma some more, but then obviously he's been transferred Anapoli.
• 5:09
  Speaker 3: He didn't celebrate, which is nice, and it just also
• 5:11
  Speaker 3: makes me wonder, like what if beIN ut Solble actually.
• 5:13
  Speaker 4: What it came earlier to Napoli and playing with guys
• 5:15
  Speaker 4: like in senior during that time, especially after that euro Cup.
• 5:18
  Speaker 3: Front that they had together, you know, like what could
• 5:21
  Speaker 3: have been on that left side, you know. So yeah, but.
• 5:26
  Speaker 4: Overall, I mean, Derby de la Jannine ends in the draw.
• 5:31
  Speaker 4: You take that, I say congrats to myself, you know,
• 5:35
  Speaker 4: it was all but I always lean more towards like
• 5:39
  Speaker 4: whichever team is racing for the school that though, and
• 5:44
  Speaker 4: it is a point, it's better than no points, but yikes,
• 5:48
  Speaker 4: you know like that that that's a bit of a dagger,
• 5:51
  Speaker 4: especially when it's towards last minute the game. That's that's
• 5:53
  Speaker 4: a bit of a dagger.
• 5:55
  Speaker 3: When you're in.
• 5:55
  Speaker 2: School that's to run. I totally agree, And just just
• 5:58
  Speaker 2: to add on there, you know they put in the
• 6:00
  Speaker 2: later window on Sunday. Uh. You know, obviously with the
• 6:03
  Speaker 2: result in the in the derby Delomadalina interdropping points, they
• 6:07
  Speaker 2: could have went up I think five on uh on
• 6:10
  Speaker 2: on ether. So it's a bit of a slip up,
• 6:12
  Speaker 2: you know. I mean, I guess you know, these things
• 6:14
  Speaker 2: do happen. You're not gonna win every game at the
• 6:16
  Speaker 2: end of it. And Heleno hell of a strike, hel
• 6:20
  Speaker 2: a hit, you know, saw Makers finds him and but
• 6:23
  Speaker 2: he's left alone, he's unmarked. He has, you know, uh
• 6:27
  Speaker 2: a huge opportunity in you know, inside the eighteen to
• 6:31
  Speaker 2: uh to to take a shot and score. And it's
• 6:33
  Speaker 2: exactly what he does. So you know, it's not it's
• 6:36
  Speaker 2: it's one of these things. It's like you know, the
• 6:37
  Speaker 2: what ifs at the end. But you know, for for
• 6:41
  Speaker 2: content now, but I don't think you're gonna win them all,
• 6:42
  Speaker 2: and you know, a small hiccup like this, I don't
• 6:44
  Speaker 2: think he's gonna put a huge damper. But you know,
• 6:47
  Speaker 2: if this kind of thing kind of continues on, it
• 6:50
  Speaker 2: could be worrisome. But I think down the stretch, you know,
• 6:55
  Speaker 2: with antelot as result as well this this weekend which
• 6:57
  Speaker 2: wasn't a positive one with their one one draw as
• 7:00
  Speaker 2: well to Tourino, I don't know if if they're kind
• 7:04
  Speaker 2: of pulling away from the from the Scudetto race, but
• 7:07
  Speaker 2: it looks like it's going closer to a kind of
• 7:09
  Speaker 2: a two headed race for the school atto between not
• 7:13
  Speaker 2: putting in there, so we'll see. There's still that game
• 7:16
  Speaker 2: in hand for quite a few of those teams in
• 7:18
  Speaker 2: the top eight. So once those get you know, completely,
• 7:21
  Speaker 2: I think we got to have maybe a better, better
• 7:24
  Speaker 2: gauge of you know, where the teams are gonna sit
• 7:27
  Speaker 2: and how they're gonna fight, you know, to finish off
• 7:29
  Speaker 2: the season.
• 7:30
  Speaker 1: Jenny, I wanted to ask if Toby wanted to join
• 7:33
  Speaker 1: in the podcast. I heard him playing with his toys
• 7:36
  Speaker 1: in the background.
• 7:37
  Speaker 3: Yeah, that's yeah, he's playing with a speaking toy. That's
• 7:40
  Speaker 3: why I needed my microphone. There you go. Yeah, try
• 7:44
  Speaker 3: my best to make sure the mic doesn't pick it up.
• 7:45
  Speaker 3: But unfortunately it's okay.
• 7:47
  Speaker 1: We love Toby, We love Toby. I just I can't
• 7:51
  Speaker 1: tell c that he's on the podcast though.
• 7:55
  Speaker 2: Upstairs it's actually been quiet, So.
• 7:59
  Speaker 3: Just have a dog podcast.
• 8:06
  Speaker 1: Yeah, I mean, before you know, let's we might as
• 8:10
  Speaker 1: well break up the derby talk with little Uh you've
• 8:13
  Speaker 1: a emply or yeah, you've amply talked for to one
• 8:16
  Speaker 1: early game for me this weekend six thirty. I knew
• 8:20
  Speaker 1: I wasn't gonna wake up his six thirty. I did
• 8:22
  Speaker 1: end up waking waking up in time to watch the
• 8:24
  Speaker 1: second half. Thank god. You know, I didn't wake up
• 8:27
  Speaker 1: at six thirty or anything, because the first half was
• 8:29
  Speaker 1: not the good half. Chilio, out of all players, scores
• 8:32
  Speaker 1: a goal. I didn't even know he played for Amply.
• 8:34
  Speaker 1: If I was gonna be honest and great second half
• 8:38
  Speaker 1: from you've a great comeback Colon Mwani. Uh two goals,
• 8:42
  Speaker 1: I believe, finally some depth striker. I've been saying this
• 8:47
  Speaker 1: all season, we needed some depth striker, and uh, that's
• 8:52
  Speaker 1: exactly where it came from. Colon Wana scored two goals
• 8:54
  Speaker 1: apart sixty three minutes apart sixty first sixty fourth minute.
• 9:00
  Speaker 1: And after the second goal, I think it was Wanta
• 9:04
  Speaker 1: turned to Valovich, who was about to sub on, and
• 9:06
  Speaker 1: he told him something. And you know, Vovich in his
• 9:08
  Speaker 1: theatric self kind of had that serious face. It's, you know,
• 9:12
  Speaker 1: very exaggerated nod. And you know, I wouldn't be surprised
• 9:16
  Speaker 1: if he's telling him, hey, look this guy, look what
• 9:19
  Speaker 1: he's doing. Now you go out and you prove yourself
• 9:22
  Speaker 1: to score a goal. And that's exactly what he did.
• 9:24
  Speaker 1: You know, give him credit, Okay, I know, uh, well
• 9:28
  Speaker 1: he made it three to one, but at the end
• 9:30
  Speaker 1: of the day, it it's the insurance goal quin to
• 9:33
  Speaker 1: the other. I was very happy with the second half.
• 9:35
  Speaker 1: It's good to see. But I think at the end
• 9:37
  Speaker 1: of the day, for you, it's it's about this consistency
• 9:40
  Speaker 1: because they played like this in the first few games
• 9:42
  Speaker 1: of the season. If you guys remember, and everyone's like
• 9:45
  Speaker 1: blown out of the water. I think it was what
• 9:48
  Speaker 1: two or three games they scored three goals and one
• 9:50
  Speaker 1: three nothing. So it's kind of like that. But now
• 9:53
  Speaker 1: the challenge is to keep that up. They played Como
• 9:56
  Speaker 1: on Friday, uh, and then it's after that it's Happiens
• 10:00
  Speaker 1: League against PSV, I and Oven and Adri. I think
• 10:05
  Speaker 1: you'll agree, but I think we're both disappointed that You've
• 10:08
  Speaker 1: and Melan didn't draw against each other. Because Melan got
• 10:12
  Speaker 1: Fayan ord H, You've got PSV. It could have been
• 10:15
  Speaker 1: an all Italian matchup and an all Dutch matchup, but
• 10:18
  Speaker 1: the soccer gods disagree with that one. It's okay, play
• 10:22
  Speaker 1: some different teams.
• 10:24
  Speaker 4: But that's actually a benefit for us, to be honest
• 10:25
  Speaker 4: with our coefficient and.
• 10:27
  Speaker 1: No, exactly you could have two, you know, two Italian
• 10:30
  Speaker 1: teams in uh.
• 10:32
  Speaker 2: In the.
• 10:33
  Speaker 1: It would yeah, it would be the round of sixteen
• 10:36
  Speaker 1: next round. But no, Yeah, overall, I'm happy with with
• 10:41
  Speaker 1: the game. And look like I said, this is what
• 10:45
  Speaker 1: happens when you you you have that depth of striker
• 10:47
  Speaker 1: and you not only rely on Valvich and you know
• 10:50
  Speaker 1: what I like to they both played at the same time,
• 10:53
  Speaker 1: so that could be an interesting move. But I don't
• 10:55
  Speaker 1: know if wanta six with that full time, because then
• 10:57
  Speaker 1: you're you're putting your only two strikers on at the
• 10:59
  Speaker 1: same time. You know, you maybe say that for the
• 11:02
  Speaker 1: end of the game, but I know that's it for me.
• 11:05
  Speaker 2: But a g.
• 11:05
  Speaker 1: You had the big game this weekend, the Derby, another
• 11:09
  Speaker 1: one one draw, just like Johnny's Derby, but unlike Johnny,
• 11:12
  Speaker 1: you actually dislike the other team.
• 11:15
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, I'm not. I'm not shaking my own hand
• 11:17
  Speaker 2: on on this one. Unfortunately, Uh, john Only Johnny can
• 11:21
  Speaker 2: do that with his Derby. So yeah, listen, uh, you know,
• 11:26
  Speaker 2: a crazy game, and you know this, the Derby delopment
• 11:30
  Speaker 2: of Mean is always a special one. You know, if
• 11:33
  Speaker 2: we've had a treat of being able to now see
• 11:35
  Speaker 2: it three times this season obviously playing in the Super
• 11:39
  Speaker 2: Copa as well. You know, can potentially see it and
• 11:43
  Speaker 2: you know, multiple more times this season, uh you know,
• 11:46
  Speaker 2: in champions and I believe still potentially in cope it
• 11:49
  Speaker 2: tally if I'm not mistaken. I think that's the possibility.
• 11:53
  Speaker 2: I believe, depending how things obviously go. So yeah, listen,
• 11:58
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's a huge match up. Obviously not the
• 12:03
  Speaker 2: result that we want. I don't think either team wanted unfortunately.
• 12:08
  Speaker 2: Uh you know, even though you know Inter fans are
• 12:11
  Speaker 2: gonna say me and got away with murder, you know,
• 12:13
  Speaker 2: the one one. Uh you know they they stole the points. Sure,
• 12:17
  Speaker 2: you know they can complain all they want that that's fine,
• 12:21
  Speaker 2: you got. I think again, talking about you know, halfs
• 12:26
  Speaker 2: of football, I think Mew and I would probably say
• 12:29
  Speaker 2: played the better first half. Uh you know, kind of
• 12:32
  Speaker 2: a tale of two halves in terms of in terms
• 12:34
  Speaker 2: of this derby, obviously Inter was was pushing and pouring
• 12:38
  Speaker 2: it on in the second half and obviously we're the
• 12:41
  Speaker 2: you know, the better team there. You know, three goals
• 12:47
  Speaker 2: called outside rightfully, so I think Keithy, the referee, uh
• 12:51
  Speaker 2: you know, was on it for this, for this uh,
• 12:54
  Speaker 2: for this matchup. Uh, you know rightfully, so three three
• 12:57
  Speaker 2: offside goals taken off, Uh was no problem there. The
• 13:01
  Speaker 2: big thing people are gonna say are obviously the posts, uh,
• 13:04
  Speaker 2: the unlucky post. I think he just kept on hitting,
• 13:08
  Speaker 2: which again is you create your own luck, you know.
• 13:12
  Speaker 2: And sometimes when the you know, the football gods aren't
• 13:15
  Speaker 2: with you, you know they're they're not really with you.
• 13:17
  Speaker 2: And you kind of saw it there. But at the
• 13:19
  Speaker 2: end of the day, you knew Neon goes up one nothing.
• 13:23
  Speaker 2: Rainders again helped like just a hell of a player
• 13:26
  Speaker 2: for for me on this season. Uh, you know, ten
• 13:29
  Speaker 2: goals uh to his name. It's just it's just crazy
• 13:34
  Speaker 2: to see his progression, uh in his role now with
• 13:37
  Speaker 2: with Mylon gets to gets to go just before halftime,
• 13:41
  Speaker 2: and you know, if there's gonna be one thing to
• 13:44
  Speaker 2: say about this game, and again I've liked come to
• 13:47
  Speaker 2: so since he's coming. I know we spoke about it,
• 13:48
  Speaker 2: but last week because we.
• 13:50
  Speaker 1: Didn't get the sogn I'm talking about the sun.
• 13:53
  Speaker 2: Yeah, yeah, exactly right, like son and father doing doing doing.
• 13:57
  Speaker 2: I think good enough jobs so far with the respective clubs.
• 14:03
  Speaker 2: But where I see a mistake is how they approach
• 14:06
  Speaker 2: the second half. You're going, you went up one nothing
• 14:11
  Speaker 2: right before halftime, you sneak to one in you come
• 14:16
  Speaker 2: into the second half, and it almost looked from minute
• 14:19
  Speaker 2: forty six you were ready to just go out and
• 14:22
  Speaker 2: deefend and try to hold onto that one nothing lead,
• 14:25
  Speaker 2: which in this league and just in this sport, is
• 14:28
  Speaker 2: never the best idea in my personal opinion, because a
• 14:31
  Speaker 2: team again there in the derby, they're all you know,
• 14:35
  Speaker 2: they're always going to have chances to come back. You know,
• 14:38
  Speaker 2: one nothing lead is never safe. I don't one. Leaders
• 14:42
  Speaker 2: never saved in sports either, So I would have liked
• 14:45
  Speaker 2: for them to kind of push and go for a
• 14:49
  Speaker 2: second and maybe, you know, try to try to kill
• 14:51
  Speaker 2: off the game. Truly, he takes off beness there, uh
• 14:55
  Speaker 2: you know at halftime pretty much and brings on humanez
• 15:00
  Speaker 2: uh and kind of goes with a back five type
• 15:04
  Speaker 2: of type of tactic, uh to kind of defend and
• 15:08
  Speaker 2: maybe kill off this game. But again, you can only
• 15:11
  Speaker 2: hold up your ford for so long with a team
• 15:13
  Speaker 2: like Inter that you know, dislike them or or like
• 15:16
  Speaker 2: them or whatever your opinion is on them, it doesn't
• 15:19
  Speaker 2: really matter. There they are a quality team and they
• 15:21
  Speaker 2: have quality subs that can come off the bench. It's
• 15:23
  Speaker 2: it's it's the difference with these top teams in in
• 15:26
  Speaker 2: our league. You know, when you can when you have
• 15:28
  Speaker 2: the luxury to bring on you know, uh, I would
• 15:32
  Speaker 2: say maybe upper off quality players in the second half
• 15:35
  Speaker 2: when you as meal and are bringing on you know,
• 15:40
  Speaker 2: a sixteen year old wonder kid who that's a big
• 15:43
  Speaker 2: stage in the Derby, guys like Tela Channel, a young
• 15:47
  Speaker 2: Alex Humanez uh you know, right right wing back. It's
• 15:52
  Speaker 2: it's it's just not good enough there. There's there's a
• 15:55
  Speaker 2: clear difference there and you know, I think we end
• 15:58
  Speaker 2: up paying for that at the end. It's unfortunate because
• 16:01
  Speaker 2: I think in this in this league and all our
• 16:04
  Speaker 2: top teams have gotten away with playing ugly and and
• 16:08
  Speaker 2: and getting the getting the result. I mean, I think
• 16:10
  Speaker 2: you did it for almost ten years straight, playing ugly
• 16:13
  Speaker 2: football and getting the one nil results. So you know,
• 16:18
  Speaker 2: the big all the complaining and all the oh yeah
• 16:20
  Speaker 2: it should have been a penalty here, there's you know,
• 16:22
  Speaker 2: they had to hit three posts and three offside goals. Yeah, okay,
• 16:26
  Speaker 2: maybe it could have been more and maybe did deserve
• 16:28
  Speaker 2: to win the game. But at the end of the
• 16:30
  Speaker 2: day it was a one to one result. Uh. They
• 16:33
  Speaker 2: they fought till the end. They got their chance at
• 16:35
  Speaker 2: the end to equalize. It's unfortunate because I think Neilan
• 16:39
  Speaker 2: had it, uh you know until that end, until the
• 16:42
  Speaker 2: ninety was a ninety third, ninety fourth minute, whatever it was.
• 16:45
  Speaker 2: It's just you know, I think a lack of a
• 16:48
  Speaker 2: lack of experience in that moment as well. Again, Himanez
• 16:52
  Speaker 2: has the ball in our own box and he kind
• 16:55
  Speaker 2: of half clears it. I don't understand why you don't
• 16:57
  Speaker 2: just blast that ball out of there, uh, and really
• 17:01
  Speaker 2: to kind of, you know, fight to live another another
• 17:03
  Speaker 2: couple of minutes there, because that's pretty much all there
• 17:05
  Speaker 2: wasn't left in the game. Nobody marking Celevski, the new U,
• 17:11
  Speaker 2: the new acquisition for inter at the back post. He
• 17:14
  Speaker 2: kind of chested in towards U the fry who who
• 17:17
  Speaker 2: has a knock of scoring in the derby against Melons.
• 17:19
  Speaker 2: So it's just inexperience I think at the end maybe
• 17:26
  Speaker 2: cost us and obviously I think are or comes in
• 17:32
  Speaker 2: Selve's decision making in the second half. His approach. I
• 17:35
  Speaker 2: would say, I know a lot of Mealon fans are
• 17:37
  Speaker 2: not really happy about that. For me, I heard kind
• 17:40
  Speaker 2: of both ends from Melon fans. You know, they'll take
• 17:42
  Speaker 2: the point, but for me, it's it's really it almost
• 17:46
  Speaker 2: feels like a loss. And I and I agree, And
• 17:48
  Speaker 2: I know we kind of had a bit of a
• 17:49
  Speaker 2: segment with our friend sabrinabaumonte is tweets that she had
• 17:53
  Speaker 2: tweeted the last during last of the week's game, but
• 17:56
  Speaker 2: I'd seen one of her tweets as well this week,
• 17:58
  Speaker 2: and uh, and she kind of echoed same thoughts of
• 18:00
  Speaker 2: you know, uh having the draw almost like a loss,
• 18:06
  Speaker 2: and I kind of have to agree. It's it's it's
• 18:09
  Speaker 2: unfortunate because we almost we almost had it, even though
• 18:13
  Speaker 2: we didn't play the best brand of football. Uh. You
• 18:16
  Speaker 2: a win is a win, no matter how you want
• 18:18
  Speaker 2: to shape it. If it's one nil or if it's
• 18:20
  Speaker 2: five to one, it doesn't really matter. At the end
• 18:22
  Speaker 2: of the day. It's it's it's a win. It's three
• 18:24
  Speaker 2: points and me On needs these three points, all the
• 18:27
  Speaker 2: three points they can get, you know, to round off
• 18:29
  Speaker 2: this this city as season. So it's unfortunate. I think,
• 18:35
  Speaker 2: you know, some of our bigger players, uh, you know
• 18:40
  Speaker 2: could have maybe done better. I look at a guy
• 18:43
  Speaker 2: like Weyl, Uh you know, I think Tail and the
• 18:46
  Speaker 2: defense obviously played well. Uh you know, Pavlovich and Tomorrow
• 18:50
  Speaker 2: we're very very aggressive, you know, I think I don't
• 18:53
  Speaker 2: know if Inter was kind of stunned how me and
• 18:55
  Speaker 2: have been playing them this season. I don't know, because uh,
• 18:59
  Speaker 2: it's it's it's finely a year where you know, we
• 19:01
  Speaker 2: kind of have their number a bit after being kind
• 19:05
  Speaker 2: of embarrassed for for so many derbies and you know, consecutively.
• 19:09
  Speaker 2: But and then Kyle Walker getting his debut in the
• 19:12
  Speaker 2: debut which again maybe can be a bit worrisome for
• 19:15
  Speaker 2: a new acquisition, but a guy of his experience and caliber,
• 19:22
  Speaker 2: I think was able to kind of be in the
• 19:25
  Speaker 2: moment and kind of you know, provide his experience in
• 19:28
  Speaker 2: him many times during the game. So I would say,
• 19:30
  Speaker 2: a pretty decent, you know, debut, But we have to
• 19:34
  Speaker 2: do better, especially against the direct rival.
• 19:37
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 19:38
  Speaker 2: You know, we could have. We could have made you know, uh,
• 19:41
  Speaker 2: Inter's uh you know, journey towards another school that's a
• 19:45
  Speaker 2: bit more difficult, uh in in in the round twenty three.
• 19:49
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately wasn't to be. We share the points and Unfortunately
• 19:53
  Speaker 2: we have to move on. But if we do see
• 19:55
  Speaker 2: them again, I think it'll be another exciting matchup. But yeah, overall,
• 20:01
  Speaker 2: just it's the fighting. But at the same time, you know,
• 20:04
  Speaker 2: it's it's a point we need. At thirty eight, we
• 20:08
  Speaker 2: have that game in hand, you know, we need to
• 20:11
  Speaker 2: we need we needed to try the Crack top four.
• 20:13
  Speaker 2: I don't know if it's going to be possible, but
• 20:15
  Speaker 2: I think that's where our our our saving grace of
• 20:17
  Speaker 2: this season is the Crack top four. And it's honestly,
• 20:20
  Speaker 2: I only think it's that fourth spot that is really
• 20:22
  Speaker 2: up for grabs. I think the top three, if things
• 20:25
  Speaker 2: stay the way they are, are pretty much locked up.
• 20:29
  Speaker 2: I don't want to say one hundred percent because obviously
• 20:31
  Speaker 2: things can change. If if the Knopolis, Deither's day Atalanta's
• 20:36
  Speaker 2: of the world kind of stay the course, I think
• 20:38
  Speaker 2: they'll they'll they'll hold on to those top three spots.
• 20:42
  Speaker 2: It's kind of that fourth spot that's up for grabs,
• 20:45
  Speaker 2: and there's many teams, you know, trying to reach it.
• 20:47
  Speaker 2: So for me, Liane's sake, you know, I'm just hopeful
• 20:51
  Speaker 2: for for a better performance, uh in terms of points,
• 20:55
  Speaker 2: UH this this weekend against against Endpoint. I mean, I know,
• 21:01
  Speaker 2: I know, you know, you've beat them for one, but
• 21:04
  Speaker 2: in typical meal and fashion, they're going to struggle against
• 21:06
  Speaker 2: a team like Endpoint, whereas they want kind of toe
• 21:08
  Speaker 2: a toe with Intern. So we'll see what happens. We'll
• 21:11
  Speaker 2: see what meon shows up. But I'm I'm hopeful and
• 21:14
  Speaker 2: optimistic that things will well. Uh, you know, down the stretch.
• 21:18
  Speaker 1: You want to hear something interesting, guys. So we're talking,
• 21:20
  Speaker 1: you know, you talk about inter Uh so if you
• 21:23
  Speaker 1: look at the top of the table, they are they're
• 21:27
  Speaker 1: obviously right behind Napoli with the game in hand three points, right,
• 21:33
  Speaker 1: So that game in hand is actually going to be
• 21:35
  Speaker 1: played this week against s Farentina, right, yeah, on Thursday,
• 21:40
  Speaker 1: way today, we're Tuesday today, so that game is Farentina
• 21:43
  Speaker 1: inter and then next Monday is Interferentina. So they get
• 21:49
  Speaker 1: to play each other two games in a row. And
• 21:51
  Speaker 1: you know that these two games could have massive implications
• 21:56
  Speaker 1: on the table because you know, up until now, I'm
• 22:00
  Speaker 1: obviously you know I say they have implications on implications
• 22:03
  Speaker 1: on the table, they have implications in Europe for next season,
• 22:06
  Speaker 1: right because obviously up intil now it's always like you know,
• 22:09
  Speaker 1: you guys looking back at Fiorentina saying, okay, we're ahead,
• 22:11
  Speaker 1: but they have the game in hand. Napolis looking back
• 22:13
  Speaker 1: at Inter, Okay, we're you know, we're ahead, but they
• 22:15
  Speaker 1: have the game in hand. Uh, this is the game
• 22:17
  Speaker 1: in hand, guys. And I know other teams like Milan
• 22:21
  Speaker 1: Bologna they still have a game in hand as well,
• 22:25
  Speaker 1: but Fiorentina's right there. And you know, if Inter wants
• 22:28
  Speaker 1: to win the win, win the Scudetto, this is their
• 22:31
  Speaker 1: game in hand to win. If Farentina wants to play
• 22:33
  Speaker 1: in Champions League next year, this is their game in
• 22:36
  Speaker 1: hand to win. So it's gonna be interesting.
• 22:38
  Speaker 2: Uh.
• 22:38
  Speaker 1: Fiarentina has been playing well uh lately. The they beat
• 22:42
  Speaker 1: Genoa this past week and two one. Uh, they got
• 22:45
  Speaker 1: Daniola and Va Jolie. I know, you guys want to
• 22:48
  Speaker 1: talk about Mercado. I feel like it's perfect transition talk
• 22:51
  Speaker 1: about Mercado. I know, Farentina they've always kind of had,
• 22:54
  Speaker 1: you know, players come in, go here and there. Sometimes
• 22:56
  Speaker 1: there's been players that they come in with a bit
• 22:59
  Speaker 1: more hype, but they kind of don't live up to
• 23:01
  Speaker 1: that expectation. But you know, you think about a player
• 23:04
  Speaker 1: like moys Ken comes in the bar's alone. I don't
• 23:08
  Speaker 1: think a lot of people are expecting him to do
• 23:09
  Speaker 1: as well. He's done as he's done, scored a beautiful
• 23:12
  Speaker 1: a beautiful goal this past weekend against Genoa. You know,
• 23:15
  Speaker 1: at this point he has to be called up the
• 23:18
  Speaker 1: national team. If he doesn't get called up to the
• 23:20
  Speaker 1: national team come March, we have the questions Black team.
• 23:23
  Speaker 1: You know, it's as simple as that. He's he's one
• 23:25
  Speaker 1: of the hotter strikers right now alongside ride tege Italian strikers.
• 23:29
  Speaker 1: So I don't know, what do you guys think, Jenny,
• 23:31
  Speaker 1: what do you think for Joli and especially you guys
• 23:34
  Speaker 1: you alone, what do you think you'll they'll do it?
• 23:36
  Speaker 1: I f'er in Tina.
• 23:38
  Speaker 4: I think you said it perfectly before the fact that
• 23:40
  Speaker 4: they don't have pressure, like they don't have like high expectations,
• 23:44
  Speaker 4: you know, like they're no longer like like for example,
• 23:48
  Speaker 4: I like prior prior to this, you know, with time
• 23:51
  Speaker 4: at Roma, you know, he was slated to be like, oh,
• 23:54
  Speaker 4: we need him to be like the next big thing
• 23:55
  Speaker 4: for allm you know, he's the next big uh future kid.
• 23:59
  Speaker 4: So like it's more out like now at Fildanentina, it
• 24:01
  Speaker 4: doesn't have that like huge expectation.
• 24:04
  Speaker 3: Obviously they want to succeed. They want him to be
• 24:06
  Speaker 3: a good player for the team.
• 24:07
  Speaker 4: But you know, he doesn't have They're not looking for
• 24:10
  Speaker 4: like another like you know, he was titled the next
• 24:12
  Speaker 4: top Dea.
• 24:13
  Speaker 3: They're trying to make him like the next top team
• 24:14
  Speaker 3: even though he's not really you know, at top these level.
• 24:18
  Speaker 2: But he's a young Italian talent yea to live up
• 24:21
  Speaker 2: to that.
• 24:22
  Speaker 3: Yeah, exactly.
• 24:23
  Speaker 4: So now he doesn't have to have that when you're
• 24:27
  Speaker 4: when you're playing Pienanentina, and in the case of Fagiliti,
• 24:30
  Speaker 4: you know, like if you want to if you want
• 24:31
  Speaker 4: to reset after you know, the whole scandal a couple
• 24:35
  Speaker 4: of years ago, and you want to get yourself.
• 24:38
  Speaker 3: Re established or you know, I don't say develop a
• 24:41
  Speaker 3: new identity, but like I guess clean up you're it's
• 24:46
  Speaker 3: that's what it is. I guess the restart is a
• 24:48
  Speaker 3: good way of saying it. So that that's that's essentially
• 24:50
  Speaker 3: what it is for both players. And you're in Fidentina,
• 24:55
  Speaker 3: that's what you want.
• 24:56
  Speaker 4: You want players that have like something to prove and
• 24:59
  Speaker 4: they want to you know, we change up their vision,
• 25:02
  Speaker 4: you know, like I mean Daniel that did well in Turkey,
• 25:07
  Speaker 4: but he was still getting hopped around. And you know,
• 25:09
  Speaker 4: sometimes we've seen it before, players that need to take
• 25:11
  Speaker 4: an alternate journey and then come back to like ten
• 25:14
  Speaker 4: times stronger or like ten times stronger, like like look at.
• 25:16
  Speaker 3: Al Chawati for example.
• 25:18
  Speaker 4: You know, like he went to China and you had
• 25:21
  Speaker 4: to find himself a bit before. You know, coming back
• 25:24
  Speaker 4: to Roman and you know, being back to being a
• 25:26
  Speaker 4: good player is like the savior. But like Ashi has
• 25:29
  Speaker 4: become this very dependable player and you know he's not
• 25:32
  Speaker 4: the young al Chaati from from like the days in Milan,
• 25:37
  Speaker 4: but you know he's he's still solid, he's still dependable,
• 25:41
  Speaker 4: he's still reliable.
• 25:42
  Speaker 3: So that's what you want, that's what you want out
• 25:44
  Speaker 3: of these two.
• 25:46
  Speaker 2: Yeah, I think also, you know, I agree with the
• 25:49
  Speaker 2: pressure thing. I think, you know, Daniel, I mean, it's
• 25:55
  Speaker 2: unfortunate that it just has never been the same since
• 25:57
  Speaker 2: his his two knee injuries, back to back knee injuries.
• 26:00
  Speaker 2: It's just a shame. It's it's something that in sports happens,
• 26:05
  Speaker 2: and uh, you know, especially then when you become kind
• 26:07
  Speaker 2: of injury prone, there's always something. You're always always a knop,
• 26:10
  Speaker 2: there's always something with with you. And I think the
• 26:14
  Speaker 2: hype was, you know, it's the media does that. It's
• 26:19
  Speaker 2: very easy to label, you know, somebody, you know, the
• 26:23
  Speaker 2: next whoever, if it be the next Messy, if it
• 26:26
  Speaker 2: be the next you know, Ronaldo, if it be the
• 26:28
  Speaker 2: next you know, Tati Bad, Joe del Piero, whatever. But
• 26:34
  Speaker 2: and listen, I think he's kind of you know, he's
• 26:40
  Speaker 2: he's an interesting player. I think he had the he
• 26:41
  Speaker 2: has the talent. I think I don't know if it's
• 26:43
  Speaker 2: it's still at the level that he once had, but
• 26:46
  Speaker 2: I think he can still do something. It's just I
• 26:49
  Speaker 2: don't see him being as productive as he as you
• 26:53
  Speaker 2: could have ever been. So it's unfortunate. You know. The
• 26:55
  Speaker 2: little stint at Atalanta I thought would have been also another, uh,
• 27:00
  Speaker 2: another way to kind of get his his career kind
• 27:02
  Speaker 2: of back on on a on a level track. It
• 27:06
  Speaker 2: was a short stint, uh since Fiordentina wanted to pick
• 27:10
  Speaker 2: him up, so, you know, canceling the loan with I
• 27:14
  Speaker 2: think it was Gala Tasa that he was part of
• 27:17
  Speaker 2: with Atalanta and then dealing with Fiordentina doing with Galatasa
• 27:21
  Speaker 2: to bring him over. I'm interested to see, honestly, because
• 27:26
  Speaker 2: like you said, Nick, uh, and you know, anybody who
• 27:28
  Speaker 2: follows the leak Fidentina is in the mix during the mix.
• 27:31
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 27:32
  Speaker 2: They add two pieces to an already again interesting squad
• 27:37
  Speaker 2: with some players that can can can really do damage.
• 27:41
  Speaker 2: Obviously you you mentioned Keen Nick, and I think that's
• 27:44
  Speaker 2: the obvious candidate. But you know, uh, it's it's it's
• 27:50
  Speaker 2: it's depth pieces that I think can add to you know,
• 27:53
  Speaker 2: what Palladino wants and what Palladino is kind of expecting
• 27:56
  Speaker 2: of his players. So it's it's gonna be an interesting
• 28:00
  Speaker 2: to see both of them. I don't know was he
• 28:02
  Speaker 2: was he was he up? Was he playing with you?
• 28:04
  Speaker 2: I didn't really catch at the end.
• 28:06
  Speaker 1: So coming off the bench, it just seems like it
• 28:09
  Speaker 1: was a case of I wouldn't say a falling out
• 28:13
  Speaker 1: with Monta. I just don't think I think Manto has
• 28:15
  Speaker 1: really come in and got just got rid of the
• 28:18
  Speaker 1: players just didn't want.
• 28:19
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you look.
• 28:21
  Speaker 1: At Denilo as well. For Joli is another example where
• 28:25
  Speaker 1: they kind of just lingered for six months even though
• 28:27
  Speaker 1: Monta didn't want them, and and they sold them yeah,
• 28:32
  Speaker 1: you know, I I think they gave up on a
• 28:35
  Speaker 1: bit too early. I don't think that's my that was
• 28:37
  Speaker 1: my point. Yeah, to be honest, I don't know if
• 28:41
  Speaker 1: you ever would have been a regular starter on Youve,
• 28:45
  Speaker 1: but clearly the talent's.
• 28:48
  Speaker 2: There, and he's still young.
• 28:50
  Speaker 1: You know, he's still young. I think if they, you know,
• 28:55
  Speaker 1: truly believed in him, they probably could have held on
• 28:58
  Speaker 1: to him, you know, made him. He could have played,
• 29:01
  Speaker 1: you know, started every second match or whatever, played a
• 29:03
  Speaker 1: bit more and then sell some of a higher value
• 29:07
  Speaker 1: than they did now because at this point it really
• 29:09
  Speaker 1: felt like they give up on him. I understand that.
• 29:12
  Speaker 1: You know, there's that whole the whole story, the whole gambling,
• 29:15
  Speaker 1: and I understand both sides, both Juve and him wanted
• 29:19
  Speaker 1: that fresh start.
• 29:22
  Speaker 2: You know.
• 29:22
  Speaker 1: It's just also interesting how they went about it because
• 29:24
  Speaker 1: they released a series on Prime in the fall, you know,
• 29:27
  Speaker 1: basically pr right for him of course, and and they
• 29:30
  Speaker 1: and then they sell them to January. So interesting. Yeah,
• 29:34
  Speaker 1: definitely an interesting relationship between the club and player.
• 29:37
  Speaker 2: But they but did they sell them or it's a loon?
• 29:40
  Speaker 1: I thought I thought it was a sell. I have
• 29:43
  Speaker 1: to look this up now.
• 29:43
  Speaker 2: Look it up because there's been so many, so many moves.
• 29:46
  Speaker 2: If it's a loan option to buy, or if they
• 29:48
  Speaker 2: just straight out sold them, I don't know.
• 29:51
  Speaker 1: It's it's alone with an obligation to buy, pay me
• 29:55
  Speaker 1: back later.
• 29:57
  Speaker 2: Exactly, pay me back in a couple of months. What's
• 29:59
  Speaker 2: the fee? Did as I say, No, I don't know,
• 30:03
  Speaker 2: not sure. I didn't. I didn't see the fee either,
• 30:04
  Speaker 2: So that's why I was I was asking. But you know,
• 30:07
  Speaker 2: it's unfortunate because it's another player that you know, spent
• 30:10
  Speaker 2: uh spent some some long years I I you A,
• 30:14
  Speaker 2: I think grew up there, right, it's been ten eleven years.
• 30:16
  Speaker 2: I think he's been part of uh, you know, part
• 30:18
  Speaker 2: of the system there. And it's a shame for ten
• 30:21
  Speaker 2: years almost ten years, right, So you know when you
• 30:23
  Speaker 2: come from uh from the youth levels all the way
• 30:26
  Speaker 2: up to the senior level and uh and you try
• 30:28
  Speaker 2: to make a name for yourself, and you know it
• 30:29
  Speaker 2: doesn't that kind of end the way you wanted to go.
• 30:33
  Speaker 2: You know, he did. He worked a bit distraught in
• 30:35
  Speaker 2: the in a video that I saw, you know, not
• 30:37
  Speaker 2: maybe not distraught, but he obviously looked like you know,
• 30:41
  Speaker 2: it hurts you know, you spend you know, a decade
• 30:44
  Speaker 2: with with a team that uh, you know, clear that
• 30:47
  Speaker 2: he loved and uh, you know, has to has to
• 30:49
  Speaker 2: go away and uh try to prove himself somewhere else.
• 30:51
  Speaker 2: So we'll see. I think he's still young. So and
• 30:54
  Speaker 2: I guess, even because I know it's still relatively young,
• 30:57
  Speaker 2: I guess you can say. But interesting, interesting pickups for Fjordentina,
• 31:01
  Speaker 2: Uh definitely, uh, you know, with all with always those.
• 31:05
  Speaker 1: Two, you know, I just I just want to talk
• 31:08
  Speaker 1: about Van's transfer window because you know, it's first of all,
• 31:12
  Speaker 1: I just got to say, yeah, weird. It's also interesting that,
• 31:16
  Speaker 1: you know, all last year, you know, fans are crying
• 31:20
  Speaker 1: for a Legury to play the youth, play the youth,
• 31:22
  Speaker 1: and they bring in Mata and what does he do
• 31:24
  Speaker 1: that's the exact opposite, does not play the youth. Okay,
• 31:27
  Speaker 1: sells them off, to sells them off. Yes, okay, yeo,
• 31:30
  Speaker 1: this yeo, this is a regular starter. But what happened
• 31:33
  Speaker 1: to BARANKI, what happened to Jolie? Two guys who were
• 31:35
  Speaker 1: playing under allegory. You know, I'm not and I'm not
• 31:37
  Speaker 1: the type. I'm not gonna sit here and say, oh,
• 31:40
  Speaker 1: you got to play them. They're young, they're Italian, you
• 31:42
  Speaker 1: gotta play them. No, at the end of the day,
• 31:44
  Speaker 1: a player needs to deserve his spot on the team regardless.
• 31:47
  Speaker 1: But it's just weird when a player is playing and
• 31:51
  Speaker 1: then changing management and it just stops playing, you know.
• 31:56
  Speaker 1: But yeah, in terms of the transfer window, I'll be honest,
• 32:00
  Speaker 1: you could tell they don't play FIFA anymore because I
• 32:03
  Speaker 1: don't know who Lloyd Kelly is. You know, Rinardo Vega,
• 32:07
  Speaker 1: I've definitely heard the name. I knew he was a defender.
• 32:11
  Speaker 1: I can't tell you much about him. There was there's
• 32:15
  Speaker 1: someone else. See, I'm already forgetting.
• 32:18
  Speaker 3: I made Bobby Model number five.
• 32:22
  Speaker 1: No, that's lou Vega. Oh it was Alberto Costa on
• 32:31
  Speaker 1: other of the players against the red back I think, right,
• 32:34
  Speaker 1: No clue exactly, no clue who is And you know,
• 32:37
  Speaker 1: I don't mean yeah, I mean I don't want to
• 32:41
  Speaker 1: like disrespect these players or anything. It just goes to
• 32:44
  Speaker 1: show like a first of all, I mean, I don't
• 32:48
  Speaker 1: have as much knowledge aside the city as I as
• 32:50
  Speaker 1: I used to. And then be there they're not. They're
• 32:53
  Speaker 1: clearly their plan is to just develop youth. But then
• 32:56
  Speaker 1: again Lloyd Kelly is on loan with an option to buy.
• 33:02
  Speaker 1: Ronaldo Vega on loan and Colani on loan. Alberto Costa,
• 33:09
  Speaker 1: yeah exactly. Alberto Costa was an out right by and
• 33:13
  Speaker 1: then you think a guy like like Conse So he's
• 33:15
  Speaker 1: on loan right now, but what I've heard is that
• 33:18
  Speaker 1: he wants to say juve So you know, even though
• 33:20
  Speaker 1: they're loaning these players, there's a chance they're just going
• 33:22
  Speaker 1: to buy them, even though it's not in the contract now.
• 33:24
  Speaker 1: Maybe they're going to buy them in six months. Yeah,
• 33:29
  Speaker 1: Like I said, it's it's clear what the plan is
• 33:33
  Speaker 1: to get youth and and get players at Tiago mont
• 33:35
  Speaker 1: at once. So you know, I guess that's part of
• 33:39
  Speaker 1: the rebuilding phase. I don't really like, really like using
• 33:43
  Speaker 1: that term because you kind of use that in like
• 33:44
  Speaker 1: North American sports, where you could rebuild through draft picks,
• 33:47
  Speaker 1: and it's kind of harder to rebuild in European sports,
• 33:50
  Speaker 1: where you have to actually develop your own youth war
• 33:53
  Speaker 1: go out and buy other young players. But by those
• 33:56
  Speaker 1: players you can get capital. It's completely different process, right,
• 34:01
  Speaker 1: So we'll see, we'll see how good these players are.
• 34:03
  Speaker 1: You know, obviously there's a challenge coming up right away
• 34:05
  Speaker 1: with Champions League colon money. He didn't play in the
• 34:08
  Speaker 1: in the the two Champions League games that finished off
• 34:11
  Speaker 1: the league face because he wasn't registered. But I'm gonna
• 34:13
  Speaker 1: assume they're all gonna be registered, uh, coming up for
• 34:19
  Speaker 1: the new the new phase. But I do you know,
• 34:23
  Speaker 1: one thing I do like is that they added depth
• 34:26
  Speaker 1: on defense, because you know, as much as yeah, as
• 34:30
  Speaker 1: much as as as I've been saying they need depth
• 34:33
  Speaker 1: for forward, they also needed that for defense. Like, I'm sorry,
• 34:35
  Speaker 1: but you can't start got to every game, Yeah you can't.
• 34:38
  Speaker 1: Like he's a good player, but he's struggling straight up,
• 34:44
  Speaker 1: and so, uh, we'll see, we'll see what these guys
• 34:47
  Speaker 1: can do. I think I'm pretty sure Bernardo Vega played
• 34:51
  Speaker 1: against emply or it was all brought across. I forget
• 34:54
  Speaker 1: which one of the one of the two new guys played.
• 34:57
  Speaker 1: But yeah, no, we'll we'll see.
• 34:59
  Speaker 2: H Uh if you had to give it a score.
• 35:04
  Speaker 1: Six six six, I'm you know, I'm thinking maybe a
• 35:08
  Speaker 1: bit emotionally here, but I am disappointed that Danilo left.
• 35:12
  Speaker 1: I think he was still the valuable player, even in
• 35:14
  Speaker 1: terms of just leadership. It just it just sucks because
• 35:20
  Speaker 1: you saw this even like five years ago when Saray
• 35:23
  Speaker 1: came in, where there's these fan favorite players that are
• 35:25
  Speaker 1: basically locked out of the squad. You think of Manzukic
• 35:28
  Speaker 1: and even they they're on the team, but they don't
• 35:31
  Speaker 1: play because the new coach doesn't like them. So it's
• 35:33
  Speaker 1: kind of happened with Danilo. But you know, it's part
• 35:36
  Speaker 1: of the business. I know, you know, obviously we talked
• 35:39
  Speaker 1: about it last week, Johnny, but Cavarro's name. You know
• 35:42
  Speaker 1: that Monopoli lost, but I forget, I know they made
• 35:47
  Speaker 1: other moves. What do you what were your thoughts, you know,
• 35:51
  Speaker 1: where your thoughts about their mercado even Roma before we
• 35:53
  Speaker 1: get to Melan, because I'm sure Adri has a lot
• 35:56
  Speaker 1: to say.
• 35:57
  Speaker 4: I mean the oka far means are fire maybe dive laughter, uh,
• 36:05
  Speaker 4: I mean like, yeah, you lose, but you pick up
• 36:09
  Speaker 4: some players just to fill in the spots and whatnot,
• 36:11
  Speaker 4: just to fill the holes. I think it's this this
• 36:14
  Speaker 4: Merkato Fornopoli was just more of a like let's uh,
• 36:18
  Speaker 4: let's just like do some like last little Patch chops
• 36:21
  Speaker 4: try to get us over to Hump to guarantee the school.
• 36:23
  Speaker 3: Though I don't think. Uh.
• 36:25
  Speaker 4: I think mostly like it was just filler moves. I
• 36:27
  Speaker 4: don't think there's anything like crazy. I wonder if this
• 36:31
  Speaker 4: I don't know. If I heard news about the Saint
• 36:32
  Speaker 4: Maximum Trusts going through, I think it's all.
• 36:35
  Speaker 2: I don't think that. I don't. I think that's why
• 36:37
  Speaker 2: they end up most minute picking up because yeah, that
• 36:41
  Speaker 2: following through natural it wasn't coming yet.
• 36:42
  Speaker 4: So yeah, then there was the whole U meme going
• 36:46
  Speaker 4: on with they don't have this negotiating with himself.
• 36:48
  Speaker 3: Had Body try to get.
• 36:51
  Speaker 4: A play from Body, and it's just like they'd be like, no, no, no,
• 36:54
  Speaker 4: we don't, we don't want the eighteen months or whatever
• 36:56
  Speaker 4: the hell it was.
• 36:56
  Speaker 3: And I'm just there, like, brother, you own both teams.
• 37:01
  Speaker 2: Just slide them over.
• 37:02
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Like like, even though you're not officially on the documents,
• 37:04
  Speaker 4: you are, you owe both teams.
• 37:05
  Speaker 3: Like, what the hell's going on here? I just drove
• 37:08
  Speaker 3: that funny. But yeah, and I'll be honest with you,
• 37:12
  Speaker 3: I can't give you a opinion on a Roma as much
• 37:13
  Speaker 3: because I haven't seen much about it.
• 37:15
  Speaker 2: Actually, they added some pieces and it just I can't.
• 37:17
  Speaker 2: I can't pronounce like half their names. That's the problem
• 37:20
  Speaker 2: that that the midfield there from Leipzig. I think the
• 37:22
  Speaker 2: young kid there, I don't even remember his name there Nick,
• 37:26
  Speaker 2: if you have it opened.
• 37:29
  Speaker 1: From Leipsig, it's.
• 37:30
  Speaker 2: The tune namer there watching they have they have two
• 37:33
  Speaker 2: guys up. One yeah, it's a lot, not that guy.
• 37:36
  Speaker 2: The other one yeah. They yeah.
• 37:37
  Speaker 1: It seemed like they just want to get as many
• 37:39
  Speaker 1: means as possible. When they say names on the team sheet,
• 37:42
  Speaker 1: you know they're not specifying players. I know, but they
• 37:45
  Speaker 1: got uh Lucas from Salzburg and uh Salah Eddie or
• 37:52
  Speaker 1: Eddie from twenty.
• 37:55
  Speaker 3: I'll be honest with you, I don't know anything about
• 37:57
  Speaker 3: these guys, nor have I ever heard of them, so
• 37:58
  Speaker 3: I don't I can't provide a pain.
• 38:00
  Speaker 2: Uh creative player the second No, they're not the saying
• 38:03
  Speaker 2: the first guy Lucas whatever there. I know there was
• 38:06
  Speaker 2: other teams. I think even my was was looking at him.
• 38:10
  Speaker 2: I think he's young. I think there is you know,
• 38:12
  Speaker 2: some talent there. Again, I don't know the details of
• 38:16
  Speaker 2: the move, but if it's a loan or I think
• 38:19
  Speaker 2: I think they're both loans. Maybe up shop to buy.
• 38:21
  Speaker 1: Uh they bought Sallet right.
• 38:24
  Speaker 2: Oh, they bought him out right, okay, so one by one,
• 38:27
  Speaker 2: and then they also brought that wrench guy I was
• 38:29
  Speaker 2: seeing there in the game. They're the right back there
• 38:31
  Speaker 2: number two. Uh wrench don't I don't know from where.
• 38:36
  Speaker 2: I didn't catch from where, but he played in the
• 38:38
  Speaker 2: game and it's not pointing. He looked pretty decent. So
• 38:41
  Speaker 2: another another addition there. But again I think for Roma
• 38:44
  Speaker 2: just to echo off of what Johnny is saying there
• 38:47
  Speaker 2: not a way much. I think it's it's because you know,
• 38:50
  Speaker 2: even you know Roma just as a whole the you know,
• 38:52
  Speaker 2: they're they're kind of in limbo. They know they're not
• 38:54
  Speaker 2: going to continue on with with with Ranieri. Uh, they're
• 38:59
  Speaker 2: gonna have to look out for a coach in the summer.
• 39:01
  Speaker 2: And I think the majority of their moves to kind
• 39:04
  Speaker 2: of go forward to kind of maybe turn this page,
• 39:07
  Speaker 2: it would probably happen in the summer, you know, bleeding
• 39:09
  Speaker 2: into maybe next year's winter Mercato. So then not we
• 39:14
  Speaker 2: want I thought it would be a bit more. I
• 39:15
  Speaker 2: thought they would do a bit more, to be honest
• 39:17
  Speaker 2: with you, But you know, I think it just kind
• 39:20
  Speaker 2: of is what it is. Uh, you know, it's always
• 39:24
  Speaker 2: tough in the in the winter, Melcato to to kind
• 39:26
  Speaker 2: of make moves. So you know, I'm not I'm not
• 39:30
  Speaker 2: totally surprised, but you know, at the same time, I
• 39:33
  Speaker 2: think if you're if you want to push and kind
• 39:36
  Speaker 2: of stay the course with not with inter like I
• 39:39
  Speaker 2: said earlier, you know, maybe some other reinforcements could help.
• 39:41
  Speaker 2: But listen, they're they're playing well. Maybe a few slip
• 39:45
  Speaker 2: ups here and there, but they are playing well, and
• 39:47
  Speaker 2: uh they are curly in first, so there's there's something
• 39:49
  Speaker 2: to be said there.
• 39:51
  Speaker 1: I didn't know Roma bought Golini for eight hundred thousand
• 39:55
  Speaker 1: Golini too.
• 39:56
  Speaker 2: Yeah, you're right, I did see that. Actually, you are
• 39:57
  Speaker 2: right that I mean to to maybe make a rap video.
• 40:01
  Speaker 2: I don't know.
• 40:02
  Speaker 1: Yeah, man, that guy, that guy was supposed to be
• 40:05
  Speaker 1: the next big thing. Remember when he was Atalanta.
• 40:09
  Speaker 2: Unfortunately him too, he kind of went around. You know,
• 40:12
  Speaker 2: he's been he's actually he's been Winopoly too, right, he's
• 40:15
  Speaker 2: been with he's been with now Roma. He was on Atalanta.
• 40:18
  Speaker 2: I think he was on Genoa from not Mistaken.
• 40:21
  Speaker 1: Uh yeah, yeah, uh interesting.
• 40:25
  Speaker 2: I think he was part of Fjurdentina too, like he's been.
• 40:28
  Speaker 1: Yeah, he's went all over. Yeah, Atalanta Tottenham didn't play
• 40:31
  Speaker 1: a single game with Totenham, Fiorentina, Napoli, Genua Roma. I
• 40:35
  Speaker 1: don't know if you guys saw uh you know, I
• 40:38
  Speaker 1: guess alone, uh el Maas also at Tono they put
• 40:42
  Speaker 1: out some videos on Oh yeah, yeah, I saw that
• 40:48
  Speaker 1: he's an interesting player because he's played for a couple
• 40:50
  Speaker 1: of teams now, but he's he's always solid, right, but
• 40:53
  Speaker 1: he's never the best. You know, he's an inter played,
• 40:56
  Speaker 1: an intern now you know he was he was captain
• 40:58
  Speaker 1: of Fiorentina. Uh and I didn't you know, realize he
• 41:02
  Speaker 1: was kind of on the outside looking in at Fiorentina.
• 41:05
  Speaker 1: But yeah, some interesting moves from you know, I mean.
• 41:09
  Speaker 2: Even sorry to Control and even Como. I want to
• 41:12
  Speaker 2: throw that in there. I know Johnny's Como wants them
• 41:14
  Speaker 2: to get back into top ten there, but even Como
• 41:16
  Speaker 2: was making aut of moves. Again, I don't have the
• 41:19
  Speaker 2: list in front of me, but a lot of different moves. Young.
• 41:21
  Speaker 2: You know, the project is clearly there for Como. Uh
• 41:25
  Speaker 2: you know, and if they stick around and say ah
• 41:28
  Speaker 2: and they can kind of you know build uh you
• 41:30
  Speaker 2: know a year and the year out. I think it's
• 41:32
  Speaker 2: another exciting project I saw. I saw some some posts
• 41:36
  Speaker 2: about a potential new stadium coming, which looks beautiful as well.
• 41:40
  Speaker 2: So listen, they're they're willing, their owners are are loaded,
• 41:43
  Speaker 2: they're willing to spend the money. So uh and they
• 41:46
  Speaker 2: have a clear project with Shaques Fabergas. So it's interesting
• 41:50
  Speaker 2: to see as well. Already to cut you off neck
• 41:52
  Speaker 2: with the Todino talk because I wanted to kind of
• 41:53
  Speaker 2: blend them in together.
• 41:55
  Speaker 1: Yeah, Como, I mean they got Delhi Ali. It was crazy,
• 41:59
  Speaker 1: another player that you know, once upon, once upon a
• 42:02
  Speaker 1: time was a big thing, you know, when he was
• 42:06
  Speaker 1: with Tottenham. We'll see, we'll see. But uh, you know
• 42:09
  Speaker 1: Como's transfers in the countries, you know the nationalities of
• 42:13
  Speaker 1: the players they got them from. They wanted to go
• 42:15
  Speaker 1: all over the place. They got French, I got Spanish,
• 42:17
  Speaker 1: I got English, I got Croatian. Uh, they got Greek. Yeah,
• 42:23
  Speaker 1: and was was this last one KOs I didn't know
• 42:26
  Speaker 1: the flight so I had to I had to check on.
• 42:28
  Speaker 1: So they really went all over the place. Makes sense
• 42:31
  Speaker 1: the Spanish players coming in just with that, with that
• 42:36
  Speaker 1: connection with guys, but incredibly as well. Yeah, I just
• 42:42
  Speaker 1: found out they have a player or they had a
• 42:44
  Speaker 1: player called the Nicholas uh Joachini American. I thought, I
• 42:52
  Speaker 1: thought I saw my last name. I thought I saw
• 42:54
  Speaker 1: a name up on that list, Like, no, I don't play.
• 42:56
  Speaker 2: For CMO, sorry you wish.
• 42:58
  Speaker 1: Apparently place for Cincinnati see or no, he played for
• 43:02
  Speaker 1: Cincinnati i FC and now he plays for GEK Club.
• 43:04
  Speaker 1: So there's your random player of the day. Uh that Adrie, Yeah, Melan,
• 43:09
  Speaker 1: very interesting window because big names, or at least popular
• 43:12
  Speaker 1: names out popular names in uh Flora's yours.
• 43:18
  Speaker 2: Crazy crazy, just no crazy. I mean I didn't know
• 43:22
  Speaker 2: like what to expect, to be honest with you, I know,
• 43:27
  Speaker 2: you know this management has been you know, love hate
• 43:30
  Speaker 2: relationship with you know, I think fans and this management.
• 43:33
  Speaker 2: I kind of had a love love hate relationship with
• 43:35
  Speaker 2: this management.
• 43:36
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 43:36
  Speaker 2: And it slat on and you know, just the moves
• 43:39
  Speaker 2: and the lack of moves and decision making and why this,
• 43:42
  Speaker 2: why that? And you know they they last minute uh
• 43:47
  Speaker 2: pulled in uh you know, five five different players letting
• 43:53
  Speaker 2: go some pieces as well. Like you said, Uh, it's
• 43:57
  Speaker 2: just you know, I for me still a wait and
• 44:01
  Speaker 2: see you know the all this all this action was
• 44:04
  Speaker 2: it was exciting. I guess to say, you know, on
• 44:06
  Speaker 2: on on deadline day, you know, uh, and that's kind
• 44:09
  Speaker 2: of why we hint to it as Mercato manness and
• 44:11
  Speaker 2: because it you know, it truly is uh, you know, crazy,
• 44:14
  Speaker 2: crazy time. You never think it's going to be in
• 44:17
  Speaker 2: the winter. It's usually in the summer where you kind
• 44:19
  Speaker 2: of collect all these moves and kind of oh my god,
• 44:22
  Speaker 2: this guy went here, that guy went there. And but
• 44:24
  Speaker 2: this winter Mercato you know, was was was was exciting
• 44:31
  Speaker 2: a lot of different moves and I think I saw
• 44:33
  Speaker 2: a post. I don't know if it was culture financeer
• 44:36
  Speaker 2: or or where I saw it, but I think, you know,
• 44:39
  Speaker 2: Sadia spent one hundred more million than they did the
• 44:41
  Speaker 2: last last winter Mecato lash years. So I don't know
• 44:47
  Speaker 2: if that says something, if that's just you know, how
• 44:50
  Speaker 2: business you know took place this this time around. But
• 44:53
  Speaker 2: for me, one, yeah, it's just very very interesting, very interesting.
• 44:57
  Speaker 3: Uh.
• 44:57
  Speaker 2: You know, obviously we have holes and we had holes
• 45:00
  Speaker 2: in this team, and this team is on paper, I
• 45:03
  Speaker 2: think pretty good. Obviously it's never not perfect, and you
• 45:06
  Speaker 2: know we will have depth obviously, like I'm kind of
• 45:08
  Speaker 2: hinted towards, uh, you know, earlier on in the episode.
• 45:11
  Speaker 2: But the names coming in, like you said, Nick, very
• 45:16
  Speaker 2: very interesting. Obviously the biggest, the bigger names obviously we
• 45:21
  Speaker 2: said Kyle Walker, but Santi Santi Yamenez, the striker from
• 45:26
  Speaker 2: fire Nord, the young, the Mexican twenty three years old,
• 45:30
  Speaker 2: new and finally spending on a number nine. It seems
• 45:33
  Speaker 2: like they don't do that. There was there was that post.
• 45:36
  Speaker 2: I think the AFTV guys were had put out there
• 45:39
  Speaker 2: and many other pages did as well, you know, since
• 45:41
  Speaker 2: twenty twenty mew and I'd only spent I think it
• 45:44
  Speaker 2: was like sixteen million in uh in terms for a
• 45:46
  Speaker 2: forward as a number nine. So uh, finally kind of
• 45:50
  Speaker 2: opening up the checkbooks and uh and spending on a
• 45:53
  Speaker 2: on a on a striker is interesting. On the flip
• 45:58
  Speaker 2: side of that, you know, you let go of what
• 46:00
  Speaker 2: and that more experience experiment only the last six months
• 46:03
  Speaker 2: he uh, he heads out to to to Galatasadai. Uh.
• 46:07
  Speaker 2: He seems happy to do so, he was. He was
• 46:10
  Speaker 2: in full smiles in Turkey, which which I don't know why.
• 46:15
  Speaker 2: He doesn't need a hair transplant, so he has he
• 46:17
  Speaker 2: has a good set of hair, so uh, I guess
• 46:19
  Speaker 2: he just I don't know. I guess the air wasn't
• 46:23
  Speaker 2: uh you know, wasn't wasn't the best at me one
• 46:26
  Speaker 2: And I don't think maybe himself and and maybe the
• 46:30
  Speaker 2: eye I again behind close doors, will never know. He
• 46:32
  Speaker 2: goes out, we bring in Santimenez, which was I'm optimistic
• 46:37
  Speaker 2: for him because it's a young striker that obviously we need.
• 46:40
  Speaker 2: We need goals by our forwards and uh, you know,
• 46:43
  Speaker 2: if if this Stiez can can be that guy, it's
• 46:47
  Speaker 2: it's interesting. Uh, it's gonna be a good one to
• 46:51
  Speaker 2: to to have for us. So that's one of the
• 46:55
  Speaker 2: first editions. Uh. The other edition, uh jel Philly very interesting.
• 47:03
  Speaker 2: Just a straight loan six months. We'll see what happens,
• 47:06
  Speaker 2: uh come the summertime, if if they even decide to
• 47:09
  Speaker 2: negotiate to bring him on full time or to maybe
• 47:12
  Speaker 2: have another loan option to buy a type of situation. Uh.
• 47:16
  Speaker 2: He's a player that I think there is talent there.
• 47:19
  Speaker 2: Uh he's not. He's clearly been passed around quite a
• 47:23
  Speaker 2: quite a bit many top clubs. He just kind of
• 47:27
  Speaker 2: can can't get his feet, you know, running with a club,
• 47:30
  Speaker 2: you know, for for a consistent period of time, which
• 47:33
  Speaker 2: is a bit concerning, but again there's a talent there.
• 47:36
  Speaker 2: He has the same agent as gont su uh there
• 47:40
  Speaker 2: obviously is that Portuguese contingent Melan currently a bit with
• 47:44
  Speaker 2: obviously the manager you know, rough Layal and now shell Felix.
• 47:49
  Speaker 2: Where does he slot and how does he how does
• 47:51
  Speaker 2: use him remains to be seen. People are going to say,
• 47:54
  Speaker 2: kind of in that camera role, h he can kind
• 47:56
  Speaker 2: of play, you know, on either wings as well. So
• 48:00
  Speaker 2: I'm intrigued to see how he's deployed in the lineup
• 48:04
  Speaker 2: and how much quality game time he does end up getting.
• 48:09
  Speaker 2: The other additions I already kind of spoke about how Walker,
• 48:12
  Speaker 2: so I'll kind of like leave that. But Warren Buondo
• 48:16
  Speaker 2: from Monza, which is again all these ones are very
• 48:20
  Speaker 2: interesting to me. Warren Bondo coming from Ones at twenty
• 48:23
  Speaker 2: one years old, they spend a ten million on him,
• 48:26
  Speaker 2: has city I experience. It's a player that me one
• 48:29
  Speaker 2: has kind of scouted in the past. So for him
• 48:33
  Speaker 2: to kind of maybe finally make this move over to
• 48:35
  Speaker 2: me and maybe isn't overly shocking since he's been on
• 48:38
  Speaker 2: the radar before. But again, spending ten million on a
• 48:42
  Speaker 2: young twenty one year old French midfielder kind of box
• 48:46
  Speaker 2: the box. It's I don't know if it's going to
• 48:51
  Speaker 2: move the needle, if it's going to push the needle
• 48:53
  Speaker 2: any of these moves really maybe the biggest one is
• 48:56
  Speaker 2: Santine Menez and maybe cal Walk kind of moves the needle.
• 48:59
  Speaker 2: But warm Bondo, I'm excited to see him kind of
• 49:02
  Speaker 2: getting some some some action some point in time. I
• 49:05
  Speaker 2: think he can obviously add to our our midfield depth,
• 49:08
  Speaker 2: which we obviously need. Uh. It's it's a shame that
• 49:12
  Speaker 2: we kind of have to let go over midfielder in
• 49:14
  Speaker 2: Benacre to kind of bring in a guy like uh,
• 49:17
  Speaker 2: like Bondo. I don't know if he's gonna kind of
• 49:21
  Speaker 2: fill in the exact role that that Benisera left, uh,
• 49:27
  Speaker 2: you know, when Benasula was at his top. I don't
• 49:29
  Speaker 2: know if Bondo will reach that well, or even a
• 49:32
  Speaker 2: guy like Cassi when we had I don't know if
• 49:34
  Speaker 2: Bondo will reach those levels. But he's young. He's young.
• 49:38
  Speaker 2: Said the experience, uh, you know, you know, and the
• 49:41
  Speaker 2: months that kind of have that relationship, it seems like, uh,
• 49:44
  Speaker 2: with Galiani being over there, so I'm again intrigued with him.
• 49:49
  Speaker 2: Sotil Ricardo Sotil from from Stridentina. Fredentina gets like we
• 49:54
  Speaker 2: said earlier, for droids and your own and other pieces.
• 49:57
  Speaker 2: But uh so till the Finger comes comes over to
• 50:01
  Speaker 2: Milan again. I believe it's it's a loan option to
• 50:04
  Speaker 2: buy there if I'm not mistaken, depth, depth piece, nothing
• 50:12
  Speaker 2: nothing to really overly say. I think he has some quality.
• 50:16
  Speaker 2: I think he is still some somewhat young uh Italian player,
• 50:20
  Speaker 2: which is nice because Melan seems to not have any.
• 50:23
  Speaker 2: So uh So to finally have one that's on the
• 50:26
  Speaker 2: books and can maybe get some point in time, it's uh,
• 50:29
  Speaker 2: it should be interesting. But again it's it's it's a
• 50:34
  Speaker 2: depth piece they let go of. They let go of
• 50:36
  Speaker 2: a guy Oka four to Napoly with with that loan
• 50:39
  Speaker 2: option to buy at twenty five million, which I don't
• 50:42
  Speaker 2: think the Orientice is going to pick up. We'll probably
• 50:44
  Speaker 2: see Oka four come right back to me one come
• 50:46
  Speaker 2: the summertime. Yeah, but So still comes in and and
• 50:51
  Speaker 2: kind of fills in the void that Oka four leaves
• 50:55
  Speaker 2: with him going to Napoly again. Pushes the needle. No depth, yes,
• 51:00
  Speaker 2: uh can he get into the action. We'll see uh.
• 51:05
  Speaker 2: Coopetalias is around the corner of Champions League. Uh, these
• 51:08
  Speaker 2: these these uh you know these city games as well.
• 51:13
  Speaker 2: Interesting player, He's gonna wear the number ninety nine, which uh,
• 51:16
  Speaker 2: some interesting players have worn that. Uh I don't know.
• 51:22
  Speaker 2: Uh maybe Wayne Glensky. I don't know about Wayne Gretzky,
• 51:25
  Speaker 2: but maybe Glenski is he he is closer to to
• 51:31
  Speaker 2: to his level. Not no offense to him, but it's
• 51:34
  Speaker 2: just to say, uh, you know, the number ninety nine
• 51:37
  Speaker 2: for me has been worn by some interesting players, Like
• 51:40
  Speaker 2: I said, obviously recently Dona Roma, but guys like Antonio Cassano.
• 51:44
  Speaker 2: Ronaldo phenomenal work when he when he had his system
• 51:47
  Speaker 2: with Milan, So he's gonna have done the ninety nine. Just again.
• 51:52
  Speaker 2: Depth piece. Who's the last one? The miss one? No,
• 51:58
  Speaker 2: I think I think that was it, uh for coming
• 52:00
  Speaker 2: for coming in obviously Kyle Walker as well. I feel
• 52:06
  Speaker 2: like I'm missing one. No, not now I have to think,
• 52:08
  Speaker 2: But for the most part, I think that was it. Santiamenez,
• 52:12
  Speaker 2: it was four or five Santimenez, Jel Felix, Warren Buondo,
• 52:17
  Speaker 2: Ricardo Sotel, Kyle Walker. Are the five h that came
• 52:21
  Speaker 2: in the ones that went out? Obviously the biggest one
• 52:26
  Speaker 2: in benez there. It's a shame to see Benesse leave
• 52:29
  Speaker 2: the way he's leaving or left sorry. You know, I
• 52:34
  Speaker 2: think could have gotten a lot more for him in
• 52:37
  Speaker 2: uh maybe in earlier seasons, and if he wasn't, if
• 52:40
  Speaker 2: you wouldn't have picked up the injuries that he did.
• 52:43
  Speaker 2: Of course, he hasn't really gotten back to the level
• 52:45
  Speaker 2: of the typical Benazir that we saw. Maybe the school
• 52:47
  Speaker 2: that two year or around that time had flashes for sure,
• 52:51
  Speaker 2: but to kind of back to his old benez herself,
• 52:53
  Speaker 2: but nothing unfortunately consistent enough to say, you know, we
• 52:58
  Speaker 2: want to keep him on. And I heard he also
• 53:01
  Speaker 2: kind of uh was was was maybe wanting to leave
• 53:05
  Speaker 2: or or or didn't didn't kind of say no to leaving.
• 53:09
  Speaker 2: So if that was his request, you know, it's so
• 53:12
  Speaker 2: be it. It's it's a loane to Marseille. Did Delbi
• 53:15
  Speaker 2: gets another midfielder? Option to buy things that I around
• 53:19
  Speaker 2: you know, ten eleven million, So it's not where you know,
• 53:22
  Speaker 2: we would have wanted it to be in terms of value.
• 53:24
  Speaker 2: But you know, if if things go well for him
• 53:28
  Speaker 2: at Marseille, they pick up a you know, still a
• 53:31
  Speaker 2: quality of midfielder who I think is you know, still
• 53:33
  Speaker 2: as young as well, so you know that that's that's
• 53:37
  Speaker 2: that for Ben as there obviously the biggest not the
• 53:41
  Speaker 2: biggest one, but the one that maybe hits home. I
• 53:44
  Speaker 2: guess you could say, is Calabria to to Bologna, Uh,
• 53:49
  Speaker 2: you know, shipping him out, uh to to Joy's joy
• 53:52
  Speaker 2: Sputos Bologna. It's it's another It's another one of these
• 53:55
  Speaker 2: things where you know, a player kind of grew up
• 53:58
  Speaker 2: with the club, uh you know, a joey but even longer.
• 54:02
  Speaker 2: He's been around the club eighteen years, so he spent
• 54:05
  Speaker 2: uh you know, majority of his life, you know, uh
• 54:09
  Speaker 2: with the with the melon colors. Obviously he was very emotional.
• 54:13
  Speaker 2: Uh it's it's rightfully so I don't think the sendoff
• 54:17
  Speaker 2: for him and was maybe just but at the end
• 54:20
  Speaker 2: of the day, uh, you know, business is business. It's
• 54:25
  Speaker 2: it's a shame that he had to leave, you know,
• 54:27
  Speaker 2: in the in the winter. I think, if if Emerson
• 54:30
  Speaker 2: real doesn't get injured, maybe he's already out the door,
• 54:33
  Speaker 2: and we keep Calabria to back up Pyle Walker and
• 54:35
  Speaker 2: kind of them play at that right back position. Uh.
• 54:38
  Speaker 2: So that's kind of what bugs me out on that
• 54:40
  Speaker 2: or bumps me out on that. But listen, he gets
• 54:45
  Speaker 2: a new experience, experience at Abologna. If he's gonna get
• 54:49
  Speaker 2: quality minutes there, I think he deserves it. He's he's
• 54:53
  Speaker 2: had some some obviously some some highs and lows. At Milan.
• 54:57
  Speaker 2: He's been through, you know, a good portion of of
• 55:00
  Speaker 2: of you know, a bit of the batter era, you know,
• 55:02
  Speaker 2: some some some high moments, you know, two super kopas
• 55:08
  Speaker 2: at Scudetto as well to his name, uh, you know,
• 55:11
  Speaker 2: captaining the team of his of his heart. So again
• 55:14
  Speaker 2: we we've been for you know, farewell to to Calabria.
• 55:17
  Speaker 2: But at the end of the day, you know, it's, uh,
• 55:20
  Speaker 2: it is business, and I guess it had to be done.
• 55:25
  Speaker 2: I feel like I'm missing now. Somebody who also left said.
• 55:31
  Speaker 1: Uh, it's it's interesting. I mean, I don't want to
• 55:35
  Speaker 1: speculate or anything, but yeah, you know, he came back
• 55:38
  Speaker 1: to Milan in the summer when there was rumors of
• 55:41
  Speaker 1: him and his wife separating, this and that, and now
• 55:44
  Speaker 1: he's going to get gal and there they're actually prob
• 55:49
  Speaker 1: announced that that they're back together. So yeah, I guess,
• 55:52
  Speaker 1: like a true Juventina, she doesn't want to be married
• 55:54
  Speaker 1: to anyone who plays for Milan.
• 55:57
  Speaker 2: But I understand why me Wan keeps on taking these
• 55:59
  Speaker 2: fucking Juve rejects. It's that's another thing Mion has to
• 56:03
  Speaker 2: stop doing. I don't know why they keep on doing it.
• 56:06
  Speaker 2: It hasn't worked with. Who has I worked with in
• 56:10
  Speaker 2: the last like fucking five to ten years. Nobody. Uh,
• 56:14
  Speaker 2: you know, the Hegan experiment didn't work. Chi didn't work. Manzukich,
• 56:19
  Speaker 2: I don't know why we had him. You know, Namatau,
• 56:24
  Speaker 2: the Almighty Caldara, who I don't know if he still
• 56:27
  Speaker 2: plays culture anymore. He's a He's a mystery, that guy.
• 56:31
  Speaker 2: So again it's uh, it's I guess pieces that kind
• 56:35
  Speaker 2: of maybe needed to go out, maybe not needed, but
• 56:38
  Speaker 2: for the majority of the part, I guess kind of
• 56:41
  Speaker 2: it's okay that we went out. The people that we
• 56:44
  Speaker 2: brought in again all interesting names, didn't really spend too
• 56:47
  Speaker 2: much besides the I think it was upwards of thirty
• 56:50
  Speaker 2: two million for Jimenez, which again I'm the most hopeful
• 56:55
  Speaker 2: for him. I hope he can be the nine that
• 56:59
  Speaker 2: we need to score consistently. Uh, We're not gonna be
• 57:04
  Speaker 2: wearing the number nine because we gave it to that
• 57:05
  Speaker 2: Bozo Jovic, but he's gonna wear the seven, uh, you
• 57:09
  Speaker 2: know who also has you know, big implications with with
• 57:13
  Speaker 2: his shirt and after galax Cheva had kind of donned it.
• 57:17
  Speaker 2: So yeah, no again overall, if I would have to
• 57:21
  Speaker 2: give a great again, for me, it's a wait and see. Uh.
• 57:24
  Speaker 2: For a lot of these players, I know a lot
• 57:28
  Speaker 2: of Mewon fans are really hyped. Yeah, you know when
• 57:31
  Speaker 2: we haven't seen we've never seen you know, Neon having
• 57:34
  Speaker 2: medicato like this in the winter, especially in the winter,
• 57:36
  Speaker 2: you know, five five move pieces in additions to the team.
• 57:40
  Speaker 2: But again, guys, I think we have to manage our
• 57:41
  Speaker 2: expectations with these with these players and and kind of
• 57:46
  Speaker 2: take it for for what it is. So if I
• 57:47
  Speaker 2: would have to give a score, I know a lot
• 57:51
  Speaker 2: of I know some fans Neon fans are saying, you know,
• 57:53
  Speaker 2: around seven, maybe even to eight out of ten. But
• 57:57
  Speaker 2: I'm gonna stick at six six point five uh, and
• 58:01
  Speaker 2: and I hope that they can make me, uh improve
• 58:04
  Speaker 2: that score to you know the seven, seven and a
• 58:06
  Speaker 2: half eighth range. Uh, with their with their performances, uh,
• 58:10
  Speaker 2: you know, to end off this season, I already have
• 58:14
  Speaker 2: a trophy under under our belts with the super Kopa.
• 58:17
  Speaker 2: I would like for them to do well in Coup
• 58:18
  Speaker 2: of Italian and whatever they can do in Champions League,
• 58:22
  Speaker 2: and they need to kind of like I said earlier,
• 58:24
  Speaker 2: you know, fight their way into that top four if
• 58:26
  Speaker 2: that's even possible. So well, these these additions do that
• 58:33
  Speaker 2: move the needle. I think it remains to be seen.
• 58:36
  Speaker 2: But uh yeah, overall, like I said, I'm gonna I'm
• 58:40
  Speaker 2: gonna stick with six point five. I know maybe some
• 58:42
  Speaker 2: gonna be like what you're doing six point five it's
• 58:44
  Speaker 2: too low. I want them to prove me wrong. I
• 58:46
  Speaker 2: want them to prove me wrong. I'm setting the bar
• 58:48
  Speaker 2: there and I want them to to do more and
• 58:51
  Speaker 2: to make me change that great maybe a future, a
• 58:53
  Speaker 2: future episode down the line. So I'm sticking with that.
• 58:56
  Speaker 2: And uh again, just hopeful for these for these players
• 58:59
  Speaker 2: to do well. From you on.
• 59:02
  Speaker 1: And last thing I want to talk about, guys, we
• 59:04
  Speaker 1: had the European competition draws, so Champions League. As I
• 59:08
  Speaker 1: said before, Milan Faynord, you've a PSV at the lot.
• 59:13
  Speaker 1: Club Bruges inter gets the buy into the round of
• 59:15
  Speaker 1: sixteen Europa League. Roma Porto which is a rematch of
• 59:20
  Speaker 1: the Champions League. Pretty sure. The last time Roma was
• 59:23
  Speaker 1: in the Champions League in twenty nineteen and lots of
• 59:26
  Speaker 1: finished first. So they get a buy this possibility that
• 59:29
  Speaker 1: they play Roma in the round of sixteen and in
• 59:33
  Speaker 1: the Conference League Fiorantina, they had a right, Yeah, they
• 59:39
  Speaker 1: have buy as well. I mean, I'll start with you, Jenny,
• 59:43
  Speaker 1: I personally, I think, like looking at the teams that
• 59:47
  Speaker 1: you know are playing that don't have buyas, I think
• 59:49
  Speaker 1: the toughest challenge actually for Roma out of all these matchups.
• 59:53
  Speaker 4: Yeah, Porto is never a team that you could to
• 59:56
  Speaker 4: scoff at, no matter what competition you played them in,
• 59:58
  Speaker 4: even though it is Europe. You just this is not
• 1:00:01
  Speaker 4: a competition like when you play Facebook, though you have
• 1:00:04
  Speaker 4: It's it's hard, it's it's it's hard. You can't go
• 1:00:07
  Speaker 4: in there like expecting to to get like a positive result.
• 1:00:13
  Speaker 3: It's gonna be difficult, I think obviously. And yet He's
• 1:00:16
  Speaker 3: man are a little bit different right now.
• 1:00:20
  Speaker 4: They're running a high but I actually don't have high
• 1:00:23
  Speaker 4: hopes for that matchup, to be honest with you, I
• 1:00:24
  Speaker 4: don't think they have the capabilities to succeed. I think
• 1:00:29
  Speaker 4: the team is too much of a of a mismash
• 1:00:32
  Speaker 4: of of players to kind of like identify a winning
• 1:00:37
  Speaker 4: identity or a winning corps.
• 1:00:38
  Speaker 3: It's more like results come from individual performances. It hasn't
• 1:00:42
  Speaker 3: been from a cohesive like team unit thing.
• 1:00:45
  Speaker 4: You know, maybe they proved me wrong and this might
• 1:00:48
  Speaker 4: be the the galvanizing game, but I have yet to
• 1:00:51
  Speaker 4: see that from it all. Where it's like they get
• 1:00:53
  Speaker 4: like even though yes, you know, it's eight games, like
• 1:00:56
  Speaker 4: it's in the league. The last loss was eight games ago,
• 1:01:00
  Speaker 4: it's still not convincing, you know.
• 1:01:03
  Speaker 3: It's still not It's like it's like it's like Juventus.
• 1:01:05
  Speaker 4: It's like, oh yeah, like we run defeated until napolte'sayah,
• 1:01:08
  Speaker 4: but there's a lot of draws between our top convincing.
• 1:01:10
  Speaker 3: It's not like as if the Ves have defeated, but
• 1:01:12
  Speaker 3: it's a strong undefeated. It's like, you know, it's like.
• 1:01:17
  Speaker 4: It's it feels like almost like fools gold and I
• 1:01:19
  Speaker 4: feel like Romo right now.
• 1:01:22
  Speaker 3: Obviously they're just for them.
• 1:01:23
  Speaker 4: It's all gravy, it's all, it's all, it's all extra
• 1:01:26
  Speaker 4: and if they get the result against Porto, fantastic, But uh,
• 1:01:31
  Speaker 4: I'm not.
• 1:01:32
  Speaker 3: Holding my breath on that one. I'll be honest with you.
• 1:01:36
  Speaker 1: Yeah, yeah, honestly, I feel the same about you A's
• 1:01:38
  Speaker 1: matchup against against PSV. I know you've beat PSV at
• 1:01:42
  Speaker 1: the beginning, but with the way you've playing like, this
• 1:01:46
  Speaker 1: has the writings there's no guarantee. No, this has the
• 1:01:49
  Speaker 1: writings of a classic. You've a knockout in Champions League
• 1:01:52
  Speaker 1: that we saw, you know, in the past couple of years. Well, oh,
• 1:01:56
  Speaker 1: what was it two years ago when they was Villarreal.
• 1:02:03
  Speaker 1: I already forget who they're knocked them out of the
• 1:02:05
  Speaker 1: Champions League in the past fewyears. But I remember, yeah,
• 1:02:07
  Speaker 1: I remember they lost a very I think it was
• 1:02:09
  Speaker 1: villarel at one point or Valencia. Uh no, it was
• 1:02:14
  Speaker 1: Villa Reale. But I will see, like you know, it's
• 1:02:19
  Speaker 1: good obviously. The fact that Inter already as a buy
• 1:02:22
  Speaker 1: fan Tina they are the bye as well, that's so too.
• 1:02:24
  Speaker 1: There's a buy in each in each competition. I think
• 1:02:28
  Speaker 1: that's a lot for me. If I'm gonna pick like
• 1:02:32
  Speaker 1: the favorites, that for me, if I'm gonna bet money
• 1:02:35
  Speaker 1: that for me, I think they have they have to
• 1:02:37
  Speaker 1: advance past plast past love bruises is probably the i'd
• 1:02:41
  Speaker 1: say easiest matchup for all Italian teams because you know,
• 1:02:46
  Speaker 1: even milon fair andrd. Obviously Melon should win it, but
• 1:02:51
  Speaker 1: it's a toss up. You know, fair Nord is there
• 1:02:54
  Speaker 1: for a reason and they're a good team as well,
• 1:02:56
  Speaker 1: and and so it's gonna be interesting. Uh you know that.
• 1:03:01
  Speaker 1: I I like I like that. It's so it starts
• 1:03:03
  Speaker 1: next week and the second leg is already the week after.
• 1:03:07
  Speaker 1: We don't have to wait three weeks anymore between legs
• 1:03:09
  Speaker 1: like we used to have to wait. And then the
• 1:03:12
  Speaker 1: random sixteen again back to back weeks in March. So
• 1:03:15
  Speaker 1: you know what, kudos to you wait up for designing
• 1:03:18
  Speaker 1: that schedule.
• 1:03:20
  Speaker 2: It's fine, it's about time. Maybe I guess that's another
• 1:03:22
  Speaker 2: positive for this new Champions League format, but uh yeah no,
• 1:03:26
  Speaker 2: I think uh, I think you guys nailed it on
• 1:03:28
  Speaker 2: the head. Yeah. Melon's matchup also is interesting. Obviously fire
• 1:03:33
  Speaker 2: Nord is not the same fire Nord without their their
• 1:03:36
  Speaker 2: their their their strikers on t menz uh we you
• 1:03:40
  Speaker 2: know it's going to be interesting. Uh how that it's
• 1:03:44
  Speaker 2: just interesting how that works out. You know, they get
• 1:03:46
  Speaker 2: drawn fire Nord, they pick up their striker to bring
• 1:03:50
  Speaker 2: over the Melons. So now they're down. You know, their
• 1:03:53
  Speaker 2: their their best I don't know if it's their best
• 1:03:55
  Speaker 2: four because again I don't follow Fire Nord, but I
• 1:03:57
  Speaker 2: would say probably their best forward and uh, you know
• 1:04:02
  Speaker 2: without that goal scoring, uh, you know, prowest for them.
• 1:04:05
  Speaker 2: You know, now it's on our side. So it's tough
• 1:04:09
  Speaker 2: again regardless of of who's on the pitch, you know, uh,
• 1:04:13
  Speaker 2: Neo and Chatt to bed with Dino mo Zagreb, right,
• 1:04:16
  Speaker 2: that could have gotten them a bye and we would
• 1:04:18
  Speaker 2: have been singing a different tune this week. So you know,
• 1:04:21
  Speaker 2: I think it's possible in this in this Champions League.
• 1:04:23
  Speaker 2: We've seen it with the big teams, the small teams,
• 1:04:25
  Speaker 2: the middle you know, middle of the pack teams, if
• 1:04:28
  Speaker 2: you will, anything is possible in this competition. So yeah,
• 1:04:32
  Speaker 2: I think I think all teams should be on their
• 1:04:35
  Speaker 2: toes regardless, but yeah, Atlanta should. If they don't. I
• 1:04:40
  Speaker 2: don't want to say if they don't smack Club Bruges,
• 1:04:43
  Speaker 2: but they should, they should get past them. I don't
• 1:04:47
  Speaker 2: want again, I don't want to say with ease because
• 1:04:49
  Speaker 2: now they've been picking up some injuries too. I think
• 1:04:51
  Speaker 2: Lukeman is out. If I'm not mistaken. Uh Rotegi's miss
• 1:04:57
  Speaker 2: of the penalty this weekend against Torinoo or Mankavis Slavic
• 1:05:00
  Speaker 2: you saved however you want to say it. But still
• 1:05:04
  Speaker 2: he's still in in decent foint obviously in good form.
• 1:05:06
  Speaker 2: You know, they still have Corey players they just brought
• 1:05:09
  Speaker 2: in as well, talk about Mercato Manus, the Daniel Maldini
• 1:05:12
  Speaker 2: as well to their cups. So yeah, I don't know.
• 1:05:17
  Speaker 2: I think I think they should be able to do it,
• 1:05:20
  Speaker 2: but it's I think all the matchups are are going
• 1:05:22
  Speaker 2: to be tough, to be honest, and that starts next week.
• 1:05:27
  Speaker 2: But you know, obviously now there's copy Italia too mixed
• 1:05:29
  Speaker 2: into this. Uh there was the matchup today from the
• 1:05:32
  Speaker 2: mistaken like you said off air, Nick, I believe it
• 1:05:35
  Speaker 2: was who say Atlanta? Uh sorry, in the like like
• 1:05:42
  Speaker 2: they're like Chinese League's next week. But now some of
• 1:05:45
  Speaker 2: these teams have copy Italia in between, so it doesn't
• 1:05:48
  Speaker 2: really help. You know, a lot of cultures obviously been played.
• 1:05:51
  Speaker 1: So yeah, I mean there was, yeah, the Atlanta bulleting
• 1:05:55
  Speaker 1: game today.
• 1:05:59
  Speaker 2: Tomorrow tomorrow is Milan Roma.
• 1:06:02
  Speaker 1: And Milan Roma and then next week next week is
• 1:06:05
  Speaker 1: Interlazzo you Vamply, So the winner of You Vamply plays
• 1:06:09
  Speaker 1: Bologna and then Milan Roma winners play intern Lazzo. So
• 1:06:13
  Speaker 1: you know, yeah, fifty chance of a derby.
• 1:06:17
  Speaker 2: There you go. So yeah, again, I don't know, I
• 1:06:20
  Speaker 2: don't I know we're talking abou Champions Leap, but I
• 1:06:24
  Speaker 2: kind of just wanted to throw this Copalia messing in
• 1:06:26
  Speaker 2: between because it's it is in between all this all
• 1:06:29
  Speaker 2: this madness. So again, John, I don't know if you
• 1:06:32
  Speaker 2: have any opinion for tomorrow's match against in the Corpalia
• 1:06:36
  Speaker 2: you and Roma, but yeah, if you did, I.
• 1:06:40
  Speaker 3: Mean it's gonna be an interesting one.
• 1:06:43
  Speaker 4: I'm off tomorrow so I get a chance to actually
• 1:06:45
  Speaker 4: watch a game for once, So I get that. You
• 1:06:47
  Speaker 4: get a chance to focus on it, and uh, it's
• 1:06:51
  Speaker 4: it's gonna be a tough one. I I do believe that.
• 1:06:56
  Speaker 4: Like I said before, with the whole like portal thing,
• 1:06:59
  Speaker 4: like it's not gonna change much.
• 1:07:01
  Speaker 3: It's more like okay, well.
• 1:07:02
  Speaker 4: You like, it's just it's going to take an individual
• 1:07:05
  Speaker 4: effort to make a difference in this game. And even
• 1:07:08
  Speaker 4: though it's a league game against Milan. And I said that,
• 1:07:11
  Speaker 4: like you know, like the past eight games and well
• 1:07:12
  Speaker 4: for Roma it still applies.
• 1:07:14
  Speaker 3: It's like like like you can't draw it here. You
• 1:07:17
  Speaker 3: need to win, So yeah, exactly, you can't.
• 1:07:20
  Speaker 2: You can't.
• 1:07:21
  Speaker 3: You can't depend on the last minute heroic to get
• 1:07:24
  Speaker 3: get yourself some points to scratch out of it, scratch
• 1:07:25
  Speaker 3: and claw out of it. And I feel like when Melan,
• 1:07:29
  Speaker 3: you know, with the scudetto slowly, slowly slipping away, not
• 1:07:31
  Speaker 3: in not in a disrespectful way, but you know what
• 1:07:33
  Speaker 3: I mean. Like I think for them, it's like, Okay,
• 1:07:35
  Speaker 3: well let's actually.
• 1:07:36
  Speaker 4: Push for the colpeutality at this point, you know so,
• 1:07:39
  Speaker 4: And I think on paper, Milan is definitely the more
• 1:07:43
  Speaker 4: talented squad comper to Aroma.
• 1:07:44
  Speaker 3: So it's it's it's gonna be tough.
• 1:07:47
  Speaker 4: It's because at any point, you know, like Melan could
• 1:07:51
  Speaker 4: just could just easily take over the game.
• 1:07:53
  Speaker 2: And I think.
• 1:07:55
  Speaker 3: They can put like Roma out of it early on.
• 1:07:57
  Speaker 4: I think actually might be like a he's your results
• 1:07:59
  Speaker 4: for Melan, to be honest with you, Yeah, and.
• 1:08:02
  Speaker 2: I'm not sure. I'm just curious to see, well even
• 1:08:07
  Speaker 2: for me when I guess, but even for more for Roma,
• 1:08:09
  Speaker 2: like how how can I say this is? Like are
• 1:08:14
  Speaker 2: they gonna put their their their eggs in this Cope
• 1:08:16
  Speaker 2: Italia basket to maybe kind of try to make a
• 1:08:18
  Speaker 2: push for it.
• 1:08:20
  Speaker 3: You could the week.
• 1:08:21
  Speaker 2: I think they're kind of spread a bit thin and
• 1:08:25
  Speaker 2: kind of balance what they can. But that's why I'm
• 1:08:28
  Speaker 2: not sure for tomorrow, Like to be honest, like I
• 1:08:31
  Speaker 2: think it could also go on the other in the
• 1:08:33
  Speaker 2: other facet, kind of just play Devil's advocate.
• 1:08:36
  Speaker 1: Uh.
• 1:08:37
  Speaker 2: You know, me On has kind of been bounced early
• 1:08:39
  Speaker 2: in uh copy Italia in recent years as well, so
• 1:08:44
  Speaker 2: it wouldn't surprise me if if if that happens as well.
• 1:08:47
  Speaker 2: Obviously as a fan, you want them to to win
• 1:08:49
  Speaker 2: and to advance and to maybe hopefully bring another trophy
• 1:08:53
  Speaker 2: home this season, which uh you know, we haven't done
• 1:08:56
  Speaker 2: a double and goun knows how many years, so uh,
• 1:08:59
  Speaker 2: it would be nice. But again it starts tomorrow. Really,
• 1:09:03
  Speaker 2: I mean, I don't think they should take Roma Whitely,
• 1:09:07
  Speaker 2: even though I do think Milan is a superior team
• 1:09:10
  Speaker 2: and I think they should win, but at the end
• 1:09:12
  Speaker 2: of the day, it's never guaranteed. And you know, Roma's
• 1:09:17
  Speaker 2: Roma's performances as of weight, and I think, you know,
• 1:09:20
  Speaker 2: still having all the character to even come back in
• 1:09:22
  Speaker 2: the game against Napoly, obviously they left their weight and
• 1:09:25
  Speaker 2: it was maybe people are gonna say a flu type
• 1:09:28
  Speaker 2: of ending, but still they had the character, they had
• 1:09:31
  Speaker 2: the balls to go for it, and they took They
• 1:09:35
  Speaker 2: took a point.
• 1:09:37
  Speaker 3: How much can you dig deep into those balls to
• 1:09:39
  Speaker 3: get that? You know what I'm saying, Like it's yeah,
• 1:09:42
  Speaker 3: you know what I'm saying, Like.
• 1:09:43
  Speaker 4: It's it's it's those those type of games are few
• 1:09:46
  Speaker 4: far apart. It's it's it's tough, and like I guess
• 1:09:50
  Speaker 4: Napoli it's one thing, it's melan it's another thing.
• 1:09:52
  Speaker 3: It's more like I think, I think it's what you
• 1:09:55
  Speaker 3: said best. It's like how many eggs can you put
• 1:09:57
  Speaker 3: and how you baskets do you have available to you?
• 1:10:00
  Speaker 3: And I think at this.
• 1:10:02
  Speaker 4: Point, I think I Thinknette actually doesn't really care too
• 1:10:05
  Speaker 4: too much about Europa League.
• 1:10:06
  Speaker 3: He doesn't care too much about Kope Dalia.
• 1:10:08
  Speaker 4: I think his goal right now is just to find
• 1:10:10
  Speaker 4: just to get at home into like let's say, the
• 1:10:12
  Speaker 4: top quarter of the table. I guess we could say
• 1:10:15
  Speaker 4: that just like because they were at the bottom and
• 1:10:17
  Speaker 4: for him, he just wants the team to climb up. Uh.
• 1:10:19
  Speaker 2: And you don't want to.
• 1:10:20
  Speaker 4: You don't want to go too hard in these competitions,
• 1:10:23
  Speaker 4: get a player injured, and the next thing, you know,
• 1:10:25
  Speaker 4: you you compromise your chance at getting yourself back into
• 1:10:28
  Speaker 4: let's say the top seven or top top eight spot,
• 1:10:31
  Speaker 4: you know what I mean, Like you're you're a ninth
• 1:10:32
  Speaker 4: place right now and your things are going well, so
• 1:10:35
  Speaker 4: don't jeopardize it for nothing, you know, And and I
• 1:10:40
  Speaker 4: know the players want to play for a trophy, and
• 1:10:41
  Speaker 4: you know, hey, if they get that, if they if
• 1:10:44
  Speaker 4: if some divine miracle happens and they get the they
• 1:10:46
  Speaker 4: get the the KOPA this year, Like oh that's great,
• 1:10:48
  Speaker 4: that's an easy that's that's a buy into Europa League
• 1:10:51
  Speaker 4: again next year. But you know it's more like yeah, cool,
• 1:10:54
  Speaker 4: but like we don't want the team to fall below
• 1:10:55
  Speaker 4: the top ten. That's that's what the ownership group wants.
• 1:10:57
  Speaker 4: They don't want the team to follow up below top.
• 1:10:59
  Speaker 3: Ten for them, and they could.
• 1:11:00
  Speaker 4: I feel like they would circumvent, uh, like a Copytalia,
• 1:11:05
  Speaker 4: just to make sure they stay on the top half
• 1:11:06
  Speaker 4: of the table.
• 1:11:07
  Speaker 2: No, that's fair, that's for sure. And even me on
• 1:11:10
  Speaker 2: right like they're they're in eighth spots. Obviously, the game
• 1:11:12
  Speaker 2: in hand with Boonia and right ahead of them, so uh,
• 1:11:15
  Speaker 2: they want to climb as well. But I think I
• 1:11:18
  Speaker 2: think they have a bit more of a capability of
• 1:11:21
  Speaker 2: kind of still come competing in the other in the
• 1:11:23
  Speaker 2: other in the other competition. So again, we'll see. It
• 1:11:28
  Speaker 2: starts tomorrow, like we said. And uh, and yeah, we'll
• 1:11:32
  Speaker 2: see because like like Nick alluded to, we can still
• 1:11:35
  Speaker 2: have a derby either way, maybe potentially. Uh, there's chances
• 1:11:39
  Speaker 2: of a derby in the in the next round of Copytalia.
• 1:11:41
  Speaker 2: So either the new one, the new one or the
• 1:11:43
  Speaker 2: Rome derby. Well, we'll see what happens. But yeah, I'm
• 1:11:48
  Speaker 2: again it should be interesting, but it's shouldn't be taken
• 1:11:53
  Speaker 2: lightly either.
• 1:11:55
  Speaker 3: This is means game to lose in my opinion.
• 1:11:58
  Speaker 2: Yeah. Absolutely, And and uh, you know we're probably gonna see,
• 1:12:03
  Speaker 2: Uh Tommy starting against his former team, will probably see
• 1:12:07
  Speaker 2: sound makers making appearance against his former team. So I'm
• 1:12:11
  Speaker 2: curious to see how, you know, even those players kind
• 1:12:13
  Speaker 2: of step up or don't step up in against their
• 1:12:16
  Speaker 2: former teams. I'm hopeful, but well, we'll see.
• 1:12:21
  Speaker 1: I think that'll do it for us tonight, guys. I mean,
• 1:12:25
  Speaker 1: great chat. Uh, lots of couch in February. This is
• 1:12:28
