📝 Video Description:

Atalanta’s victory against Milan has propelled them to top spot, after Napoli lost out to Lazio in both the Serie A & Coppa Italia fixtures. It was not a sweet return for Thiago Motta, as he was sent off for dissent, & Juventus had to fight from behind to secure a point against Bologna. Ranieri’s Roma got their first win since his return against Lecce, whilst Inter continue their winning ways, breezing past Parma. Fiorentina earned their 8th consecutive win against Cagliari, a streak last achieved in the 1959/1960 season. Venezia vs Como was the ‘fun’ match of the week, as the relegation 6 pointer was played during a storm. Genoa vs Torino, on the other hand, was the ‘boring’ match of the week. Verona were demolished by Empoli, in a match which seems to have decided Zanetti’s future. Monza continue their winless run, as they were beaten by Udinese who have already surpassed their victory tally from last season.

[Music] hello and welcome back to se Spotlight with your host Jake and mat you know what time it [Music] is I can’t tell you guys enough how much you’ve been my internal monologue when thinking about football for the last year amazing we get to record while drinking some wine Jake and I will have a very speci soft spot for us we love we love stop zooming in on that leg face bro going to be you exposing me because you’re going to make me [Music] break hello and welcome back to another episode of Sera a spotlight we’re your host Matt and Jake and this is episode number 153 where we get to cover all the happenings of match day 15 I don’t know why I did the intro like that but [ __ ] it I’m the host it is what it is bro yes sir goal of the week a very difficult one this week um so there was one that was very unorthodox and unusual right there was oristano goal from from a corner however you mean rundo and the wind elements that got that go ex exactly bro we can’t give it to him because it was mostly the wind that led to that I really enjoyed p goal with Castro’s flick on um some lovely goals all around however I think for me it has to beakon right I think it has to beakon um I think there there were goals that because of cute little details I enjoyed more like the Poo like the DeMarco one like the barela one he sent the defender sliding into another dimension not to mention that perfectly weighted assist on the volley by mkhitaryan yes yes yes yes amazing amazing but I think you have to give it to is in considering the stage and oh this is where we disagreed though cuz I really liked Columbo’s goal against H Verana the volley that that just so low and right into the bottom corner passed so many bodies that was a a lovely goal you always like to see a a free kick that hit the wall bounce back to the player and they’re just like [ __ ] it and they hit it again yeah and he hit it so intelligently as well cuz he went low hard and he placed it mhm um usually you see those like I think this week we saw the Hernandez High wide and not at all handsome right with with the longrange effort but that’s how you meant to go at it man it’s true it’s true but POA I mean I mean POA Colombo has never hit the ball orthodoxly yeah um he always finds a different way to do it um European update before we get into everything you’ll find that hopefully our episode will be um two hours on the doter a little bit shorter because there’s a fan fantastic game between Atalanta and Real Madrid that I cannot wait to watch that is tonight atanta are going to want revenge there after the Super cup that was I think mbappe’s last good game literally literally bro um they’re saying mbapp is the worst thing uh Florentino Perez has ever done I mean early sensation [ __ ] to be honest yes um when it comes to the balance of the team it’s yeah they just signed a bu left Wingers yeah lusen is another interesting one H tomorrow there is juu against Manchester City there’s Benfica against bologna there’s Milan versus Red Star Belgrade on Thursday there’s Roma versus Braga personal favorite here Ajax versus latio that’s going to be an exciting watch with Jordan Henderson in Midfield um and Fiorentina versus lasque the Austrian lasque also on Thursday CU Thursday nights are Europa and Conference nights indeed exciting fixtures um very excited for Atlanta against Real Madrid tonight um we’ll be watching me on red star tomorrow of course um keeping an eye on the other games on UV City particularly very exciting game for the neutral over there of course we have our mil on commitment so we’ll be watching that um andless they at different times I haven’t checked the time no I think they’re both at 9: if I’m not mistaken and we also have to mention guys um a little bit of an update when it comes to the the Coppa and um Fiorentina did get past empol on penalties where moak Keen even missed his penalty over there empoli threw um in the derby and Lazio got past Napoli with the score of 3-1 both teams went out with their second teams I think Lao still maintained a few of their top players but Napoli changed absolutely everything um I guess con’s idea over here was to concede when it comes to the Cupa Italia and then beat latio in the league but l have made a two out of two against K incredible and the first game Saw Tani noslin scoring a hatrick hatrick yeah and then in the second game he gave that perfectly weighted ball to isak what a week for him what a week for him absolutely Sensational but what a week for the esposo brothers bro yes all three of them not not to be confused because I know a lot of you get confused with the Menendez brothers those are the ones that are in prison there’s the whole series don’t confuse them exactly yes we have Seb of course we know very well he plays for empol he scored two goals in a 4-1 win over helos Verona that’s six goals in all competitions this season for Sebastiano salvatores scored um twice um scor twice yes and got one assist for spia under 5- nil victory over chadel not to mention poo who got one goal for SP of course in their 5- nil win over chadel just if you’re wondering how they’re doing so far um bastiano in the league and S has four goals one assist of course six goals in all competitions in the league he started 11 games and he has four goals Salvatore has played 16 games with spia scored five goals and got seven assists while Pio has 14 games eight goals and one assist they’re doing very well this season their breakout season

update regarding our fantasy standings I say as you take a sip of coffee yes so I’m not sure what the pun is here Ty ah tagoo in first place always he always Joey D is killing us and every week he’s

episode for every match it’s very important absolutely it’s huge G um so um yes there there will be that and let’s get to the round now brother I let’s get to just have a quick sip you know most people will say de is the enemy of the radio what we say is we don’t care yeah baby uh we’ll start things off with firstly by the way the theme was rain and wind everywhere okay so whichever game we mention rain and wind um we’ll start things off with the game that put Atalanta into first place actually the first two games that we’ll be covering are the game that put Atalanta into first place because at atanta beat Milan with the score of 2-1 another um win for Atlanta another win against a top team where they decided not to start RI and again it was probably the best option as they cruised past Milan well Cru it was a tight Affair but Atlanta got away with an 86 minute lman goal to make it 2-1 and then Napoli after resting their entire Squad midweek to be able to get past Lao at home in the league they lost one nil um as Ison scored the only goal in the game with a peit of a gold yes two notes from these games pulik did go off injured in the Milan game um atanta against Milan and um garia has now apparently suffered an injury as well oh wow okay Roman those are those are two big very big players for their teams um in the fight for top four mhm absolutely good point um inter three Parma 1 fantastic game um individually for inter mkhitaryan had a great game here barel had a is exemplary as a football player they bring in you remember benat where they kept bringing in these stars to try to displace him and they couldn’t that’s what it’s seeming like to be as well with with inter and M he just so intelligent man and he knows how to use um the the like little burst of speed he has left in his in his later years you know um intelligent he’s very intelligent yes he preserves his energy he Us in the right moments he got two assists this game and both were lovely yeah fantastic player fantastic player and an absolute Workhorse as well there was a hilarious Dar unnown goal um towards the end as well that gave Parma their only goal of com you see summer’s reaction it’s he’s just like I’m not I can’t even look at him you know he just looks away from him y hosted bologna so MTA essentially invited his ex over for dinner um he got sent off U went two down um but they did manage to fight their way back due to some intelligence substitutions um and Juve Justice they really turned this game around uh lat on in the game to equalize and make it 22 there are brilliant goals by bolog over here brilliant goals the Pega goal the indoi goal absolutely amazing game this was probably my favorite game of the week what do you make of Indo celebration the the bear yeah you know the bear love it I like it too he probably listens and knows we’re going to Romania so he’s like to the bear celebration for the boys the bear for the boys Bear for the boys is third goal this season third goal in two matches actually for Dan Ando thank you very much on my Fanta Fiorentina 1 Kari nil Fiorentina kept it clean got a goal um decided to they know what Kari are capable of Kara team that if you give them a little bit of space they will attack you and fantina are one of the few teams that actually managed to keep Kar at Bay like this um so it’s actually a great result but I like I really like what I’m seeing from ker this season as well they really put up a fight man and this game makum had a massive Miss they could have they could have actually taken the lead against Fiorentina there you go man it was a really nice bit of play to to lead to that makum there you go it just makes it even more impressive that that fantina didn’t concede um against this cier that put three past mil not that that’s saying much um the first win for cloud clao Ranieri and the first loss for um joh Pao J Paulo as Roma beat leche four goals to one and this was the kind of victory that Roma needed um well Roma desperately needed a victory and the fact that so many players got on the score sheet including pil um salers salers back from injury obviously manini yeah everyone under dog scored and Gaspar did his ACL yes Gaspar and he’s their best defender by by quite shes on the case Jeff shares how’s it looking well he’s done his anle there he’s G on down holding his shoulder he’s going to be in a bit of pain but he’ll be okay cheers Jeff Vera suck man Veron Verona have sacked according to Sky it’s not quite officially yet he’s done but um apparently they were looking at bringing in bti back but then that cooled off and now it seems that they’re going to promote guy name down their um the under 20 coach before that he was the manager of a sera D Club his name is Pao Sarco yes and the idea is for him to shake up the players in the dressing y yo yo talk about desperate huh yo that sounds kind of sus he’s also just like 41 years old this this C this bro to me um going into rtio and spending all week focusing and preparing for a game to go out and concede four goals or was it four or three in the first half whatever they they conceded three in very quick succession and and they each goal was a was an individual error so you see a player lose I think was manani and then bellan they both lost the ball and led to a goal do you think that that was kind of like we’re fed up of yanity do you think it was like a protest kind of the protesting the REO not giving your all I don’t I don’t think so I think they’re burnt out to the ground in in [ __ ] rtio this is what I dislike about REO um it’s clearly that they’re using the same formula over and over and the same mistakes that lead to the same goals bro why the hell do they keep and we’ve said this before in other games stop trying to build play out of the back with those three center backs that you have Ed dead and [ __ ] Eddie at the back bro like what are you doing trying to build it out from the back and a team like empol who are good with good with the Press good at winning the ball high up the pitch yeah it it was never going to be successful but I think bro to to answer your question I’d like to think that there are no teams like that in the league I don’t know bro we’ve seen players not playing to the manager’s requests I mean we saw Roma protest the manager you’re telling me that that’s the best Roma could do on um empol also lost pelri who it’s such a shame because his career has been absolutely marred mhm by injuries and he’s he broke onto the scene at the ripe age of 16 years old that is r and he was um doing really well um and then he went to France for a bit had a stint over there came back you know even ended up at Milan for a short period of time but injuries have always disrupted him wherever he’s gone now he’s scored in three games back to back and boom he’s done his ACL and we won’t see him for another 6 months I know colbo and the SPO will be licking their lips but um that’s terrible news for empo and for um us who have been enjoying watch absolutely man he’s been a [ __ ] Joy poor guy yeah and the fact that he was starting in a team that is that that have two Strikers that are out on loan from Top clubs like Milan and Inter they just going in just slapping his [ __ ] out in the dressing room telling everyone have a look this is this is my spot like whatever you get the analogy um venea 2A 2 I watched this game and I’m like they’re right Venice might sink one day Jesus Christ what the hell was that weather how was that game played like man people are like the cameraman could have given the lens a wipe or something at that one point dude at least like give it a give it a wipe I didn’t see anything remember when bot scored what happed no idea like ridiculous and they’re like vet had the advantage because of the weather the play play like they they went drinking before as well literally literally man like how was that goal even given to nii’s goal it was Poo’s goal for sure um but direct goal scored from a corner and by the way if there was a team that um deserved to win this game it would be Vania who had a goal cancelled for offside because poan it was cavil at the end again um who was offside by this much poalo interfering with play with play shut up it’s like really really incred I hate these I hate has been such a relevation he really has Revelation yes that’s the word I was meant to say elevator he’s been a real religion he’s been a refrigerator Nicoli he’s been a real escalator Nicoli um Monza took on and they lost 21 at home of course they did of course they did because they suck to be quite honest they only won one game the season um it’s it’s gone really still for mono really still Anda today we have to talk about that today they have to S we need to talk about that because it’s it’s getting really bad and it’s come to a point now where their entire game plan towards the end of the games so first they have some intricate passages that hardly ever work um and then at the end they’re just kicking the ball up field to jurich and he’s trying to knock it down and then they spent like 15 minutes trying to get the go like that it’s just so we said these we said easier games are coming they had a tough run in earlier like a an easy game in inverted com this is a game where at least get a point man against odz get to get a [ __ ] point they hadn’t won in like six games or the now was the time to get something out of a football match man ah it’s not enough to just draw to the big boys you need to beat the guys on your level unfortunately for Nesta so we’ll see what happens and how that develops but I think he’ll he’ll be at the helm for the next game for sure probably um otherwise would have heard of it probably already Zanetti hasn’t even been fully officially sacked yet it’s just Sky reporting Hellas haven’t put out a statement that’s interesting so pinch of S boys we are not journalists and what was a boring Affair quite frankly um Torino are another team we we so Torino have have apparently so they removed Urich we used to call Torino missionary they’re a boring Urich team now they’re a boring vanoli Team bro like they they’ve remain you know what maybe they flip her over to the side sometimes and they that’s it they they have sideways sex I know we’ll be checking the explicit button on this one um we forgot to the patrons patrons we do it at the end so we keep the flow going yes let’s do it at the end and we will totally remember but thank you to our patrons we love you and um we do have you in mind every time we’re recording this is for you guys absolutely go so yes um we’ll start off with Atalanta Milan of course um Atalanta hosted Milan and they proved once again that they are indeed scudetto contenders as they looked the better team in this one to win their ninth consecutive Sera a game in a point to take them up on top of the table with 34 points hence de are 34 written on the rocket ship with lukman in it as the cover art and the most childish drawing I’ve ever drawn in my life um so Atalanta lined up in a 3412 formation with caresi in goal Jim City here and Kass the formidable three at the back with bellanova and R Jer on the flanks darun and ederson the Midfield double pivot the Fantastic Midfield double PIV yes ederson was incredible this he was incredible um thought R Jerry was like one of the best players on the pitch as well pasalich was in the hole behind the K tar and Adam Ola lman of course with gasparini once again surprising Everyone by Bening R it seems like he has so many tricks up his sleeve this season gasparini The Gnome who’s taller than Matthew 42 31 for Milan with Manan in goal te Hernandez cha gabia and Royale at the back um reinders and fafan as a double pivot with Musa on the right P um p m fca’s favorite trick you know M on the right Lea on the left pulik in the hole with Morata up front pulik did of course go off injured now the game began very explosively to be honest from both sides and quite end to end within the first 15 minutes there were many chances with pulik and pasalich both having a crack each um Milan briefly thought they had taken the lead in the first half through Morata but the goal was rightly ruled out for offside it was a lovely finish lovely cut in and finish by Morata um but it obviously did not count obviously Atalanta opened the scoring through the kar it was a perfect um delivery on a corner from darun to De K tar who towered over Theo Hernandez who H the ball powerfully into the back of the net of course Theo appealed for a foul um but the referee lapena allowed the goal to stand now what do you think of that call bro many people are fuming um personally I am not upset no what foul exactly what F I think I think Teo does this thing where he plays for the foul exactly um and you risk the interpretation of the referee that’s always what you risk situation like that if you are marking a player and the player jumps before you to get the ball and instead of jumping you’re going to walk into him or step back into him and you’re going to lean forward and make it look like he’s he’s fouling you if the referee Falls for it good nice all right good job it’s okay if the referee doesn’t fall for it you risk conceding and Hernandez at his level and with his reputation and through all the the heat he’s had this season the last thing that’s the last thing I’d expect him to do at this point man you know like put in a bit of a shift man get people to stop talking about you in this way man and it’s it’s like what bro the 9 millionth gold they’re all the same he looks so halfast man I I’ve never seen Leo look this half ass as the has looked this season everyone talks about Leo’s attitude cuz he walks with a bit of a Swagger Tao has looked indiffer all season true so far he had a lovely weighted ball all right and during the buildup of Milan’s goal but come we’re used to better man that this this isn’t good enough like you have Defenders who aren’t good enough in the air mhm but this it’s just boring at this point it’s frustrating like don’t lean jump man it’s the K Tara when he was at Milan everyone was was laughing at his at his lack of physicality physicality and gr and his abil his inability to win duels take he was a literal fetus at me and now he’s a giant man like you see what a bit of steroids do um no but what an impressive leap it was it was an impressive who if he did use St for a bit of Leverage but he didn’t jump of course so what do you expect if you were to tell me that the kar was capable of giving a towering powerful header like that when he was at Milan i’ tell you [ __ ] because he’s too frail he’s too weak he’s too scared he’s not confident enough but a completely different Beast for for Atalanta and he Out jumped Teo out muscled Teo Teo looked like a [ __ ] by the end of it I’m being quite honest and it’s an area where I know with crosses to the far post it’s hard to always pin the blame on the wing back how many times are we going to see it at what point is TA going to win one of those yes um moving on to Milan’s response um this was T Hernandez of course who had a vertical ball to release Rafael Leo on the left who skipped past bellova with with ease to be honest and he’s so good at that of course Milan took on a more counterattacking kind of approach and this did favor Leo in the moments where he was involved which weren’t many to be honest um Leo looked up which is um huge huge yes it’s something that we’re not used to to be honest seeing much of this but recently come on he’s picking them it’s true he has it’s true he has and this in my opinion was impressive as an assist because he he looked up and he played a perfect ball to Morata and Morata was never going to miss you know that’s his bread and butter as we obviously as we often say um great goal there um marata of course showing what a leader he is running straight up to Leo giving him all the plaits for the goal um all the credit and Milan looked like they were back into it not looked like they were back into it and half time whatever for the the second half it was anyone’s game yeah for the majority of it there was a period where I thought me where the Atalanta really fell back in the second half in my opinion and the second half was Milan’s and then of course yes um it was the 1 second it was the 87th minute of course Milan held on for quite a while but they couldn’t really threaten um Atalanta especially after poli6 injury man poli6 injury effect because PC went down injured and in this is something we’ve spoken about on this podcast before um when you play LOF the streak in a creative role and you have Musa on the right you’re missing out on you have two offensive positions with players who don’t Thrive offensively I think the thing the move to to make when Pik went injured would be to drop musan Midfield where he’s capable not bad mhm and bring on OK for something man someone more I don’t like this this L this streak in the hole man I don’t like it and and the second he came on Milan looks like they were a man out I look like they were man out with with stre think literally um I think the idea uh with having lofter streak in that role I don’t think you could directly consider him as a Turk artistan of politic I think him and reinders really swap around in that position um and I think with um LOF to streek on the pitch Reyers often finds himself in situation where he’s behind the striker which favors Reyers of course and but like you said for the most part Milan have four positions out of so they’ve got Musa and LOF to streak that don’t Thrive anywhere near goal to be honest you’ve got Lea who is not Central but rather wide and cutting the ball back and Morata that can misfire quite a lot so all of a sudden that formidable front whatever lever of Milan doesn’t look so formidable at all yeah and it’s not like you know I’m not saying that he had a a terrible game L the streak but but it’s just the fact that you don’t have anyone who can really take on a man except for Leo yeah you know I mean I agree it should have been CH been an off player offensive threat a direct player roer was really bombing forward chuk would have been perfect over there he just he just did so well against Sall I know okay Sera B Team whatever but they’re Sera regular nowadays saso they’re technically a sera a team in Sera B at they’ll be back next season you know I I don’t know whatever that was it and then of course M to be to be fair I am liking Musa in that role he’s all right he’s he’s useful but if pic is in the 10 it’s great it’s great if you have lus in the 10 I don’t usess and just one more thing did you notice L streak at a point dislocated his finger ah yes he got it popped back into place and he went back and continued playing he looked in agony bro that’s Agony like he was I think I think it was dislocated he was covering he was holding his finger like that they yanked it back in and he went back out that I of course I like to see him then yeah yeah in malti we call that a Mimi um and then of course in the 87th minute you say um you said before pin the blame on the on the fullback um we can pin the tail on the donkey in this case as um of course um another set piece came in and um reinders and Theo allowed the ball to be flicked across goal um Emerson Royal the donkey in this case of course nowhere to be seen letting lukman attack the back post and scoring um from very close range to the point that manan’s reflex is B right but like his arm was behind the line there was nothing man could have done for me for me it’s not even Emerson’s fourth go it I mean granted he lost his man okay but how do you allow that header to be one at the front post I agree you know you have two men on you have Teo and reinders and reinder kind of got attouch to it no he kind of flicked back if I’m not mistaken I I think that goes on reers it was it was very s it was going directly to him he could have done much better that that is on reers and it’s because in the last episode we said at the moment he’s the best player in the league and that’s why that happened I think he have been way more commanding in that area um and no nothing Emerson can do I think it’s a problem if you look at the past three four seasons with Milan with Pur um with fona how have Milan never improved with defending set pieces they simply have never improved and you can have [ __ ] big tall players trying to win headers and and whatever but no matter who the opponent is they can’t seem to defend their their Corners you remember to me this looked zonal again zonal defense you know I mean two examples on that second one on on the fact that like the flick on was it Reyers or was it Tao they were both marking like they were bit surrounding the player but not directly on him Emerson Royale wasn’t following his man you know was probably covering the area yeah but what a weapon right this is for Atalanta what an absolute weapon these um um these set pieces of course they they can certainly whip them in um the own particularly who’s brilliant from these set pieces and I guess one of the ideas behind playing the Kare over R egy um or dropping R egy and and just playing with with the false 9 forwards kind of thing part of the reason the Kara was higher up the pitch was for sure for the aerial duels from set pieces or or from open Play to the back post especially since he’s on Teo Hernandez’s side gasparini knows that that’s a weak point because you get the perfect you get the best of both worlds you get a player who can beat the on the air comfortably as you said and a player who’s capable of disrupting the defensive line through his technical ability something which Ru isn’t particularly strong at you know Ru is a proper nine mhm so Milan’s defense lack confidence even though I thought this game they were all right mhm no defensively apart from the set pieces you could exactly exactly atanta didn’t score from Play part man I like chiao gabia they’re both very physical they’re they’re disciplined gabia is a good leader at the back Chia seems to be um doing well um so yes but the idea I think was for cdk and lman to stretch the defense as much as possible to try to Trigg them as much as possible with pasik kind of like making these dummy runs in the middle and all that and erson of course just causing Havoc you mentioned something before you said Milan were better in the second half I’m not sure I agree with you Milan had more possession in the second they had more of the ball which but but I can’t recall Milan even threatening in the no I wouldn’t say they threatened um I think in contrast perhaps okay Milan weren’t better in the second half Milan saw more of the ball in the second half Milan dictated the tempo a little bit more in the second half to the point that obviously when Milan were on the ball I didn’t feel like Atalanta could do anything because Milan had the ball now I do think that in this game having the ball isn’t a major success because I was hearing people saying wow Milan got better they looked worse in this game why can’t they win the ball back blah blah blah Milan were obviously playing a counterattacking system over here what Atalanta did to trigger that in the second half is they allowed Milan to have more of the ball I think that’s it so I don’t think it’s a matter that Milan were better in the second half I just feel like they were less threatened perhaps in the second half um Manan had to make four saves um granted of course um there’s the part where Milan had to push for a winner but that was beyond the it was open in the second half but bro at a point it was I I was genuinely saying I don’t know where this game is going to go it was more open in the first half you could see that it was Atalanta that were the most threatening team in the second half I did feel as though they went a little bit stale and I don’t think it was atalanta’s best performance at all I think atanta it was a tough game for them I mean put up a fight okay Manan had to make four saves big whoop like kind of thing none of them were in the second half the one under T was a massive save on the counter from when were getting an equalizer when they were trying to get an equalizer yeah yeah fair enough um uhuh I mean it’s it’s just so demoralizing hey bro from from our perspective like at this point like this game doesn’t even confirm anything for me um cuz everyone’s like saying ah the scudetto dream is dead I think Milan had to beat you for that to even be um up for debate to be honest with you so so yes I think F dream why is everyone talking about the not top four Manan are in serious serious trouble for top four ah I think far from a guarantee that Milan are going to make top four people are talking about it as though Milan are for sure going to bounce back and Milan are for sure going to make top four I don’t see it bro I think that Milan have a solid basis they have have so many promising signs they are being let down by individuals too often and and what why why do you say individuals because it’s if if you’re going to concede two goals to Atalanta on set pieces if you are going to concede three goals to Keri and you look at the the nature of the three goals and and the fact that the fullbacks could have been doing better or LOF his Stree could have been closing down his man and all these things structure though man that’s structure it’s not an individual learning curve for for most it’s a learning curve to the new system but the more I watch F’s Milan the more intricate passages I notice the more ideas I see the more the more I I kind of see the players becoming more familiar reers is really growing into with ffas doing well he’s losing the ball a bit you know like like trying to play these direct passes and putting us in danger but they are growing and of course this is going to need time you know it’s a new system might take two Seasons three seasons to see it work that’s how it used to be back in the day now the the instant [ __ ] need for results is is kind of skewing our ability to to kind of to assess a manager properly you know but I I don’t think it’s I think for example right now bro Theo should be nowhere near the bloody starting 11 I’m sorry I’m I’m sorry I know he’s Theo Hernandez I love the Hernandez I love the Hernandez but then that’s the problem he sorry but but terano is at least going to commit to the the structure he’s going to play he’s going to do what fona wants him to do I’m not saying’s better than the but when you have a player who’s setting such a bad example who’s who’s honestly disrespecting anyone who paid to watch the game at the stadium man if you paid to go and watch Milan and that is what the player is giving you out there your star man he’s disrespecting the entire fan base by playing like that man and you can [ __ ] defend him all you want I’m sorry but it’s clear to ca that Theo has not been to standard this season he hasn’t been to standard it’s not that he’s been bad he hasn’t even been to standard mhm he’s and he’s certainly not Captain material no he’s wearing the arm should be I don’t man you fix you solve one problem you get another one you know Lao is looking great nowadays and you now you have Theo the other freaking okay let’s let’s calm down the only captain in this team is gabia um I don’t think it’s individual erors though I think um sure whil Theo could definitely be better at and C himself into these duels into these challenges and let’s be real he’s never been a Defender that is great at defending he’s always been he’s almost like a cheat code it’s like having Dash from The Incredibles on the the left hand side but we saw um sorry last season though we did see T Hernandez take a massive into Center back and all but he took a massive step forward when it came to his defensive abilities he looked much better form clearly that’s form if he had one good season seon defensively everything before that he was [ __ ] defensively and now he’s [ __ ] defensively again it was since he’s been at Milan his first season at Milan was his his poor one defensively other than that he didn’t stand out like he’s standing out right now ever defensively he had a few few Seas games here and there but but no he he often has off days too when it comes to defensively he’s just always it’s excused because it’s Theo Hernandez just like it was at the start of this season up until around this moment bro a few a few a few episodes ago um I said these crosses that Teo isn’t capable of getting to the far post Milan need to come up with a solution for it I said that on the episode and one of our patrons Alan messaged and said that is um a defensive issue by Milan not singularly by te herandez I believe he gets away with a lot because everyone is aware of his quality because he’s world class kind of thing um but he’s he’s scapegoated for that reason it’s it’s about time that we have a proper look at him and address that defensively he makes the team weaker and he doesn’t he’s a Defender that you see him second game against Parma we like I no he didn’t manage to run back because um he’s out of shape he often starts the season out of shape no he doesn’t bro he’s just he he he doesn’t give a [ __ ] Calabria didn’t manage to make it back because he looked like a fat way there but you you can’t say Theo Hernandez couldn’t track back because he had too much paa on the summer he’s a [ __ ] athlete man or he smoked shisha with [ __ ] Leo in some Club Ina whatever man um but all power to Atalanta let’s let’s keep this because Atalanta are top of the table and they deserve to be there because they’re in three competitions man they’re in three competitions and they’re they’re killing it they’re killing it everywhere they are and everyone thinks that Napoli are going to win League which they might of course they are the favorites to win the league in my opinion because they don’t have any other competition that they’re in now now they’re they’re out of the Cup by Italia as well they’re probably going to win the league if Atalanta win the league when balancing Copa Italia balancing the league and balancing the Champions League then they by all means deserve it and they are the best team offense l in the league by a landslide they are Landslide an exemplary football club they are by no means favorites for the scudetto they remain under liers they remain dark horses but boy are they [ __ ] dangerous and boy do they belong there they are a team that um started off the season with a massive defensive crisis that would have seen most teams down in seventh literally um however they they manag to remain up there and they are alone in first place um at the moment we can take a look at them we can say that um this has been coming for for a very long time gaspin has been doing wonders their sporting director has been doing wonders they’ve been working it’s is the way they operate is fantastic listen to this bro 2018 2019 season mhm Atalanta won the the prim Vera the cion pr Prima Vera right the sceta for the the league for the the miners whatever the the young kids this was their team look up where they are now all right so caresi was I’m just going to read you actually the okay carnesi was in goal he’s playing for Atlanta um kesi was there he’s at Spurs Ahmad Dio was there he’s at Manchester United calb okoli was there he’s at Leicester colpani was there he’s at fantina cagi was there bologna zortea Kari picoli Kari Del prto Parma Ki young boys and Rodrigo G who at Fortuna sard all of them having excellent careers you know I mean they’re all playing in the top division top level football got the the money they made from the money they’ve made from these guys the talent that they produced the fact that they they managed to ship them out and actually remain so strong as a football team the fact that they lose so many important players they lost I mean think about it man scalvini out umak out lman trying to force his way out and then having to be reintegrated and he’s one of their best players he is their best players as Starman at the moment just the way they operate man you know by by um low sell High all that in fact Tim asked us a few questions he said um Tim is our Patron shout out to Tim um Atalanta are [ __ ] flying and the domestic fixed shares coming up are relatively straightforward what is their wage Bill like compared to the rest of the top six teams in Syria so we have to look at the top six right now so we have inter Napoli 82.9 million inter 14.7 million they have the most wages in there because of the free signings probably fantina 61.6 million lso 68.2 million juu 11.7 million atalanta’s wage Bill 59.2 million they have so fantina lopol r Milan juuve and Inter all have a higher wage Bild than Atalanta that’s crazy it is it’s absolutely insane you know who the lowest is wage Bild lowest wage bill ceri it’s not CER it’s very close Parma no not Parma certainly not it’s h Verona ah shocker 18 million um followed by vaneta then empol then Le then okay but very they’re all 5 million EUR apart but yes and then Tim asks um is gasperini from Bergamo he had a bunch of of Interest this summer did he not loved that he stayed in bergam but what kept him there was Atalanta able to pay him what some bigger clubs were willing to pay him um so regarding his salary I’m not sure if they if it’s very high you can check that in the meantime but however I do have a bit of history on um on gasparini gasparini is from guasco I believe is how you pronounce this guasco grasco grasco yes um it’s in tyin in the region of pedmont um about it’s about nine kilometers West from Trin in fact as a youth player gasparini was with Juventus and even he started his senior career at Juventus despite not actually making any um appearances over there um but yes he had no previous affiliation with them however he joined them joined Atlanta as a coach in 2016 and has has been there since and he described Napoli’s interest in him last season because when Atlanta won the Europa League many people viewed it as the end of a cycle for gasparini the end of gasparini cycle however um he decided to stay right in fact I think even he was willing to go to Milan I believe gasp there were links last season before before fona joined there were links um but I don’t think Milan um showed much interest in that um yes but anyway I’m getting sidetracked he um he basically said that it’s it’s complicated when Napoli come come come to it’s like you’re married and you speak to a very attractive woman or he said that he said it’s like you’re married but a beautiful woman comes on to you gini said in an interview hilariously but it seems that he’s faithful to his wife Atalanta and that’s it he loves Atalanta and then there’s he loves Atalanta he made this team you know he has a sense of Pride I guess he’s connected to the team uhhuh he loves the team um number one loves his wife loves his wife um taller than Matthew taller than me and he’s just living the life no but 66 years old more hair on his head than I’ve ever had in my life by the way he has he has a project going on at at at atanta which he is in charge of um it’s gasparini project you go to so many clubs where imagine you go to U um it’s Juni yeah you have to deal with Juni um and no matter which club you go to you go to Milan you have to deal with Zlatan this and that you have to deal with the involvement of certain sporting directors and and the involvement of the owners gasparini has earned his right to take on all of the create he has all the creative freedom in the world people trust his vision the club trusts his vision he understands that the club generates young Talent left right and center and they’re on a project bro they’re on a project where over the last few seasons they kept on growing and growing and growing they stalled a little bit then they won the [ __ ] Europa League what’s next man you win the Europa League is he going to let that be the Pinnacle or is he going to let that be the start of something even greater the start of Atalanta being the best Italian team in Europe they’re their trajectory them and Inter they’re only going to make more money is their only Kryptonite in the league they beat them four n man that’s that’s something gasparin hasn’t figured out yet we should really move on though because we’re almost an hour in already ah yes I mean this is the like you know atanta have gone first I mean we we need to give them their flowers you know yeah that’s true um just one more observation casuno every time he’s in the off attacking third I have no idea what he’s going to do this guy is so so unpredictably starts twisting and turning like what the hell is this guy going to do um yes but other than that I don’t think I have much else to mention other than the fact that this week um Colombo Salam makers Pega and another Milan player all former Milan player all scored Colombo salers Pega and who who was the other one Columbo salers POA I just put you on the spot here brother bro what the heck um ah the kar the K of course it was thear yeah but anyway um so yes let’s just say where they are of course Atalanta in first place with 34 points the goddess while Milan are in seventh with 22 points and the game in hand mhm and level on points with bologna that’s a real six-pointer that one Milan bolog is going to be that’s true it’s going to be the limp of Limp games bro literally bro that that has 22 written all over it man mad Milan bolog um and of course former leaders Napoli no longer leaders Conte thought he had it sorted um but laa are back to winning ways and they have two consecutive wins against Napoli both in the Copa and in Sera whilst Napoli’s slip up has cost them first place so Napoli lined up in their 433 formation with meran go on the back line of D Lorenzo rahmani bonjour and Oliva a Midfield three of Momin lotka and angua with gar Lukaku and politano up front for Lazio Baron’s men it was a 4231 formation proel in goal a backline of marich hila romanoli and Tavarez a double pivot of gendi and de bashiru as rll was of course suspended um isak Dia and Zak playing behind tati Castell Lanos so Lao stand Napoli one nil on a rainy night at the stadio Maradona marking their second win over contest side in 72 hours isson spectacular strike in the 79th minute proved decisive following a well executed Counterattack initiated by Tiani noslin napoly controlled possession for much of the game with Momin and zambo angua both coming close the latter hit hting the post de bashiru also struck the crossbar earlier in the second half with a powerful strike from distance it was a gorgeous that would have been I think my favorite goal this season so far bro because especially if it would have gone in off the crossb it I GoPed bro he hit that with so much V bro who did that against Milan in the last game in Milan’s um against Milan someone shot from the it’s coming back to me bro um uh wait it was m m m that would have been so Milan man um so yeah the result pushes Atalanta to top of the table with Lazio now just three points behind the leaders and one point behind Napoli um the first thing that I want to of course talk about is Con rested all of his players um to be fair Baroni rested um he made nine changes in the leadup to this match where did Napoli go wrong with their approach because of course cont is the kind of guy that [ __ ] every other competition we’re all about the league so where did they go wrong where did they overestimate their opponent perhaps or underestimate their opponent so I I don’t think it’s a bad idea particularly to to rest all your players in a CA Italia match especially when your main objective is the league and you’ve got some decent ground and you’re doing quite well and you know the confidence levels are quite High when you play a team twice in a row it’s always complicated it’s it’s always a nightmare because you never know how they’re going to approach second game suck at it you remember that time they played Milan twice in a row yeah fair enough actually it’s true um I think when it came to the approach this game Napoli I don’t think it was particularly bad I think this game was quite balanced um I think however that at the end of the day it was the fact that lot you have that bit more individual flare about them and that if right now I think the atmosphere in lso is so good in this football team that every player is having so much fun and and like they’re all so confident everyone’s getting on the score sheet and and things are going so well and Baroni has really empowered everyone to the point that anyone can become a hero yeah where napoi are kind of struggling with that because having a hold up Striker like Lukaku means that the goals need to come from elsewhere and gvar has been a little bit quiet this season man and now he’s out for a month um better than he was last season that’s for sure ah but you know I mean they their goals are kind of coming from they’re sweating to score and then sometimes in these moments and these games when the conditions are against you and you’re against a team that’s flowing with confidence you know I mean even tashir to have that crack you know to shoot from there you need to be full of confidence I think that it that was the difference to be honest the belief uhuh well we mentioned last episode that Napoli have this inability to create chances from open play in fact if you look at the top teams even when Napoli were first they by no means had anywhere near the most goal scored in the league I believe they only have 21 um at the moment in this match they had three chances right they had momin’s early chance that was a good chance and probably that was their chance then they had Anga from a corner and gar from a direct free kick just before the first half ended two of those were from set pieces now what did we say in the last episode we said that this can bite Napoli in the as how sustainable could it be winning game one n after one n because at some point you’re going to concede a goal and at some point you’re not going to be able to score that one goal that you typically find this time MC the difference is Momin missed the chance that’s it Anga Anga Anga Anga that could that if that had gone in you know I that was such an narrow Miss be talking about a Napoli Victory cuz there’s no way they concede in the in the 78 after scoring that you know what I mean they’re so good at shutting up shop the the thing is Napoli are this system that if they get a goal a victory is pretty much guaranteed like obviously pinch of salt it’s not always the case the ball is round whatever but I mean this game was was even they couldn’t get that goal and then of course the fact that the game was still open you know it’s not like Napoli were committing Too Many Men forward it was that tjani noslin ball that was just so perfectly weighted that it split the defense in half he absolutely [ __ ] Napoli for 72 hours man cuz they were thinking about him between the games for sure then he goes on that Cross Field pass and I really think um that that was rehearsed by Lazio particular firstly we’ve seen Lazio shift play from one side to the other very effectively all right so they drag the opposition to one side and then eaken always free up there he’s always free eak Cross Field pass to him firstly Oliva bad defending bad in fact he was he was a little bit late wasn’t he like he extremely late he had three seconds to get the ball be fair I think there might have been a miscommunication with the offside trap um no it there wasn’t there wasn’t that’s a good the perfect ball Anda was weak Ola that’s the rain that if if we’re going to be fair to Oliva he couldn’t decide when to commit because of the rain I would this game was always it wasn’t exactly action-packed the conditions were very hard and um that’s what favored lot I’ll I’ll explain why it’s so the conditions played now obviously it wasn’t Baroni’s decision to play de bashiru instead of rll his hand was forced he had to play de bashiru is a rll because rll was suspended however the conditions and the wet surface definitely made it more physical and when he came up against lotka time and time and time again deab bashiru was getting the better of lotka yeah just out musling him um multiple times and creating turnover including including that time where he hit the crossbar he won the ball of lotka over there and it was a just a a pretty much practically Flawless performance from deash he he has the talent he can definitely do it and to match that what um um de bashiru really did a good job at with those turnovers and whatever was perfect for the style in which Baroni’s side approached this game where it’s like look they’re going to be home they’re going to want the ball they’re going to want to control it we’re going to sit back we’re going to let them have the ball and then we’re going to rapidly when we win the ball back take it down on One Wing transition play Counterattack down their [ __ ] throats and that’s when our moment’s going to come but especially we’re going to remain within touching distance let’s not concede early and you see in the first half they’re like have the ball have the ball we’re going to defend with our lives yeah yeah um one more Point by the way about lazio’s togetherness this is something I was telling you um before we even started recording so in the ca Italia you don’t actually need to have registered players whereas in Syria and in European fixtures you need to register your players right even the guys who aren’t registered to play in Syria and in the Europa League are doing well for for um Lao in their game against Napoli in the Cupa Italia heai had a phenomenal and he he hased so that goes to show what AI there is and obviously what what an outstanding professional he say is you know I mean there’s a reason why we see him every World Cup this guy every International Tournament with with Albania and all that but AK bro was on the bench bazic was on the bench these guys were all there and then they you know haven’t even played and how good is it and how refreshing is it because when was the last time we saw a United lso it couldn’t have been a United latio before because of the players because of L Alberto because there was L Alberto there was milinkovic Savage there was chir Mo maybe he should be excluded from this conversation cuz he was Captain Fant even Savage to be honest never Savage but what you have here bro and they had S as well who is quite a hotthead um he is a hotthead he’s always stressed and smoking nonstop um what you have here is the complete removal of every single star that they they had in their team and they have a team of humans this this project this these people that are proud to play for Lazio it was unreachable it was a goal it was a dream and they made it they’re there with the exception of for example Tavarez and gendi who were in the Premier League and some people view that as bigger a bigger occasion more money whatever but everyone else if you look at for example tati Castellanos he has his claim to F castanos with those four goals Real Madrid fair enough but yeah you’re right I mean these are they poached the best players from minnow sides B and they created a team bulaya was playing in Syria B for Sal Nana you know I mean granted he did well in Syria before but he had the whole thing where he was trying to force move to wolves and he fell out and ended up playing in disrespect to wolver ampton who are a historic club we will not forget um Zak was h veron’s player you know what I mean oh my God you remember of course um gendi was a player in France kind of on the on the decline kind of decline well he’s definitely improved a lot with the ball at his feet he was a bit of a donkey before even at no he was on the decline but prior to his move to latio ah because he moved from Arsenal to Mar and whatever I mean you know all these guys man all these guys are are underdogs and that is what’s so cool about this from yeah you know they’re having fun they’re having a lot of fun and and they have the right manager for it speaking of managers I just want to say the the feedback that there were from the managers because at the end of the day do not underestimate what a battle it is between two managers when there are two games in a row like this between two teams the number one thing is the man steering the ship the battle is very much between Baron and Conte and the fact that Baroni out did content twice is [ __ ] huge but this is what con had to say l you are not a meteor right they are doing very well okay it seems like you just kind of I don’t know did you contradict yourself there I I I don’t get it um I’m not disappointed or unhappy during this journey there are some stumbles there will probably be others this is a team this is the team I want to see but we need to have more quality in the final meters and of course it’s fair um up front they’ve been they’ve been struggling Lukaku great hold up but he’s not going to get them loads of goals poano has never been a 10 goal King gvar needs to kind of pick it up over there I think they found a system that best suits gvar I think in the beginning um at the the season with the three at the back it wasn’t really favoring gar cont made that adjustment I think he has a lot more in the tank left to give Baron on the other hand said there’s still a long way to go um I’m used to looking at the top when I start but then I have to look at every step on the way otherwise I’d fall flat we can see the summit but now we have to find the road to reach it so why do I have to put unnecessary pressure on the team we are strong and we work hard so we must create our own path to try to stay with the best at this moment as the table shows so a very driven manager doesn’t want to put pressure on the players acknowledges that yes we’re looking at the top we’re looking at the top we’re excited by the top but why would I put that pressure on my boys and I think that is a we had this debate recently which one would you like to be the one that says we’re going to go win it or the one that says we’re definitely not going to win it that’s a perfect balance between both Napoli sank to second place they’re on 32 points that marks to be honest in their last five matches two wins one draw two losses um for Napoli so their form definitely not as hot whereas for Lazio they are in fifth place on 31 points just three points behind Atlanta at this point and level on points with Fiorentina and Inter um in their last five games they have four wins and one loss that one loss coming against who was it again the the last game that they lost loto I’m pulling it up now how how am I forgetting this Parma of course the 3-1 crazy Hajj Muhammad Hajj Muhammad so it’s safe to say that Baroni was Captain Phillips and con was abdali mus for this one yes abdali I have to Google his name yeah you know he he was like a he was a nobody before no he’s playing the name of the pirate was the name of the actor isdi yeah uhuh yeah yeah that was his first ever wrad was a c driver or some [ __ ] I don’t know that’s um sensationalist [ __ ] or whatever shall we move on yes over to you speaking of Parma who won 31 last week they lost 31 this week okay now back to basics so so yeah um inter lined up in a 352 with summer in goal bisek de and Baston at the back with Dum freeze and the Marco on the flanks barel chalano and mkhitaryan in the Middle with turam and Martinez up front I think this is inter’s strongest 11 bar bar pavard right in theory um let have a look because take a look at it here take a look at it here because this looks like the the typical inter you know what I mean when you think inter this is the team you think of and it’s looked like this for a while as well yes so for Palma it was a 4231 system with Zion Suzuki in goal Valeri Del PR baloh and Hut at the back with K and Som in as a double pivot Dennis man on the right country Larry on the left Maha playing behind and Yuan bunny now of course the goals came through dearco barel and tham all gorgeous goals to be honest with you um the first one came in the 40th minute and this was DeMarco’s lovely bit of technique over there DeMarco doesn’t know how to score a simple goal his goals are all Extraordinary um that little dribble he did just to take like to get the to Tee It Up it was it was gorgeous and lovely um play with mkhitaryan over there um not to mention Bella’s goal in the 53rd minute with the perfectly weighted I know I’ve been saying this a lot this episode but this was honestly perfect ly weighted like mkhitaryan with the volley playing him through on goal um Barella barel had the composure of a seasoned number nine to kind of just stop the ball as the defender flew past him he went to slide to block the shot and he just flew past him I believe it was valer and that simple little the the like a faint yeah but not like an obvious faint just like a little a subtle thing exactly to theer and and then he just slots it past them beautiful goal um that was interrupted with the referee um calling it offside but then of course VAR trck and wasn’t offside and then of course one dor yeah tham got a goal off a corner um where he kind of had to finish it was his body language was awkward but he managed to kind of angle it it was almost like lukman’s in the sense there was a flick on and then he’s he was falling like and he yeah it was kind of like yeah I I don’t even know how to describe that goal but it was nice and then Darian of course in the 81st minute with a comical own goal yeah but that was that was pretty much it inter as dominant as ever bro and um Barella shining mkhitaryan shining tham back to scoring ways you know I mean what what is there left to say about in you know this business as usual for them Ah that’s what you’d expect from um inter at this stage a win against Parma is expected of them um they once again look for another season find themselves deep into another title race they’re also juggling multiple competitions um and they seem to be doing it before they looked really fatigued in and I’m sure there are going to be times later on in the season where they are going to look fatigued again they have an aging Squad everyone knows that um and perhaps they don’t have some perfect Replacements the players being linked with man are very mares people are talking about verati they’re talking about Dyke man all these all these names Van van they going pay van dijk’s wages what’s this Van Dyke honestly probably he’ll come out and say it’s been my dream since I was a child I’m taking a pay cut no way no way they won’t land van we’ll see we’ll see I mean why not honestly I mean if you are passionate about defending and you’re a pure Defender and you’re in your mid to late 20s you grew up watching Italian Defenders as being the best ones and you must have idolized them so there has to be a certain affinity and a certain desire to play in the Italian League no for most Defenders I think but yes um the one negative that we can take from this game for inter it’s all green one Laro Martinez yes he is looking um a little bit better physically however he’s very wasteful man he is very wasteful and please hit me with some statistics from this one brother so I mean not two I mean he had one shot on target three good chances uh two of them off Target one of them on Target on target straight of the keeper now where is it I want to see his touches 28 touches in this game he’s typically way more involved especially when inter have the Lian shareff possession um and and I think it’s well I’m not going to say it’s concerning because we’ve seen laara have moments like this come with like halfway through the season I’ve seen these spells from him but it’s been quite consistent and I’d like to know how many goals he has this season and in fact I’m going to not many bro I if I had to guess one or two no I think a little bit more than that no five is a five in no competitions in all competitions well he has one goal in the Champions League and one assist and he has five goals three assists in the league five goals in I don’t remember any of them very forgettable goals by Laro Martinez apparently but yes that’s that’s not technically bad the only concerning thing is the fact that he he looks so poor in front of goal um while everyone else is is ticking and while everyone else is on form this is his time to kind of get his form and his confidence up when everything is going well because if things aren’t going well for inter and he the striker struggling like that he’ll stick out like a sore thumb so this is where he got his goals please veneeta mhm empoli mhm two against OD and one against Roma one win the team exactly no but yes um no but yes no but yes Laro Martinez needs to get his needs to ReDiscover his form rather p on the other hand I don’t even think they looked terrible in this game they tried to coun it was It was kind of tough for them and it took them like a bit to get going they of course had a penalty canceled in the beginning um through Laro Mar bal’s um injury forced him off as well in the early on which kind of made things more complicated as well for them so so yes I think um when it comes to Parma this was always going to be an uple battle for them they’ve just beaten a team in the top six so they’re not going to lose much sleep over it that’s it um and I don’t think to be honest there is much else to say about I think jump to a way more exciting game to be honest I think so um if you look at in they have 11 wins and two draws and their L 13 matches which is ever since the lost to Milan ever since the lost to Milan they they’re going to [ __ ] Milan in the next der bro they’re going to destroy them some some time left before that hopefully Milan can eyon out some some quirks let’s just call them that yeah where do they stand in the table you may ask me and of course I am going to answer you so inter are in third place with 31 points points while Parma are in 13th with 15 points ju two bologna to you had to fight back from a one sec let me full screen this [ __ ] youa had to fight back from a two-nil deficit in their own stadium as mta’s first match against his former employers nearly ended in disaster as he was sent off moments before bologna got their second goal of the match was a 42 31 formation for his men pering goal backline of cambiaso katti and Danilo fan locatelli in the double pivot way out on the left con out on the right and coup miners playing behind vavich who is back um after a short spell sidelined due to injury bologna lined up also on a 42 31 formation scor up SK goal a back line of Emil Hol BMA lukumi and Miranda Freer and Pega and the pivot with Dan andoy out on the right um Dominguez out on the left as orsolini is currently injured and odard playing behind Castro now jua suffered an immediate blow as cambiaso injured his ankle just six minutes into the game after blocking a powerful shot from Dan andoy ciasa was subbed off for ruie and that just adds the second they get the vov back they lose their most creative player on that is um one way to get injured bro Alan Smith broke his leg blocking a John AR Rea shot once [ __ ] John AR can hit them though you know he’s been learning from orini um I have theories or are you done are you not done I not done I haven’t even started go go go go go we’ll do things bit by bit okay no no go ahead I just want yes cuz Ciao’s injury as you said set the stage for for this loss man um yes if you if you look at last episode we said that to neutralize juuve neutralizing cazo is the most important thing cuz he’s their playmaker at the back and ju this game really struggled against Bologna’s press and cazo would have been the perfect tool to play out from the press and they lost him and they brought on a player who doesn’t look like he’s ready for this level at all ruy not not his fault of course he’s still very young he’s from the um what do you call him next gen Squad that’s it so so yes um not to mention this game um MTA opted for pin instead of D gregori who’s much worse with the ball at his feet yeah and the fact that um locatelli had an off game and what’s his name in the middle didn’t start he was rested ke and tham is very good at bursting past the Press he working his way out of the press and that’s where bologa won the game uh well they didn’t win the game that’s where bolognia found most of their success with the Press ju simply couldn’t cope um in fact my first point is bologa began with high pressing unsettling ju’s buildup play um they created the better chances particularly through andoy who hit the post before finding the break through with a powerful shot into the roof of the net in the 30th minute vicious Striker absolutely vicious amazing amazing finish that that’s a the finish of a confident man and I’d like to see him [ __ ] beast um I’d like to see him take this energy to the Swiss team um because yeah the decent Euros yeah the decent Euros yes but he could really be a star for them Switzerland already good as is man and with a with an on form Dan Ando it would be excellent yeah true they they could do with a with an inform Dan umana shout out to Daniel um looks like him he does he does look like he does look like him for those of you listening he’s a malse figure that is prob I never thought would shout out Dan bring on we’re joined by Dan and Dan it’s hilarious um at half time yua fans actually Boo the team finally how how long does it take for youa fans to start turning against the players turning against the team I think the boo weren’t directed at the players per se I mean yes it wasn’t a very inspiring perance the but the frustration is is on a higher level I think when when you look at the fact that for every game M’s cruising between 14 Outfield players it doesn’t quite help does it but so what are they booing asn’t they’re Bo the team they’re booing the situation they’re injury Boo mother nature keeps hurting our guys no the team wasn’t prepared as effectively or as efficiently as we thought it would man and there are gaps that have really been highlighted through Unfortunate Events granted but there shouldn’t be this many youth players in this I think the fans are frustrated with the team to be to be honest I think they they they were so hyped for the season and it hasn’t gone the way that um they wanted it to and they’re finally and and you fans are kind of notorious for that as well no um I I think it’s directed towards the team um M the players the team the coach the manag everyone fair enough um M was sent off early into the second half after descent towards the referee and he was warned earlier and at the end of the game M basically said he was right to send me off he told me I told him to go to hell and he sent me off to go to hell I think no no no apparently he told the the referee said at the end of the game as like wa just said what off like I told him to stop man they told me to go to hell imagine you get sent off for at least say something hurt but in Italian probably or or in Italy telling someone to go to hell is like something huge it’s like telling a multi person something about their mother I guess I don’t know man I’m not Italian Allah mother is um but this seems to energize bologna the fact that M was s off I don’t know if it did something psychologically um the fact that they have that Affinity with with M the fact that they were disregarded completely as any type of contenders for Europe this season because they lost M they lost kala Fury they’re like we lost a bunch of the glitter on top of this [ __ ] unit of a team and everyone counted us out boom a minute later that 2 minutes later POA chips pin incredible assist by Castro again dropping in deep giving that back heel POA super intelligent run that’s where POA good you remember him at spia with Italiano doing that over and over and over again Amen brother amen he and Castro showing us that Zer Z in last episode you told me or I’m not even sure if we’re recording or if you told me like in our free time because we do talk in our free time unfortunately for you guys um you um mentioned that the perfect lar replacement would be CRA right I’m not going CRA that wasn’t on the podcast I told you I’m going to he’s been linked can you believe it that’s insane why the [ __ ] didn’t I say it on the podcast man Jesus he’s so so lar the same mold bro he’s the same type of player you know where he operates Laro Martinez if he was a soul Striker how true is that wow you reminded me I didn’t even write it down anyway what a what a lovely flick on that was for Pega and then amaz Tommy P showing us that the dog days truly are over bro brother two goals in a week for sure they’re over the dog days are over Days Are Over um substitutions for juu by whoever their assistant manager is they introduced yis tham and IM bangula and of course they injected energy to the side um and they injected someone who can beat the Press someone that can beat the Press but this is where bolog La off the press this is where bolog were like okay two goals now we can defend now we can take our foot off the gas and at the same time players who are great with the ball at their feet came on yeah yiis who in tight spaces is unbelievable um unbelievable unbelievable in bangula as well and as well boom cope miners goal Danilo Low cross into the box cope miners converts with a comp post finish and someone should have picked him up over there but they didn’t that’s his first goal in black and white um and then in stoppage time as bologna holding on defending very well bless them man but what do you need a moment of magic when you can’t get a goal by playing the ball into the box or or through a set piece or whatever moment of magic and next gen sensation out of nowhere somewhere in bangula brilliant strike from outside the box curling into the top Corner nothing skorupski could do about it that’s in the 902nd minute and at least juuve can celebrate a point um against bologna but it things were looking awful at at that moment in time I was laughing my ass off to be honest because in their Stadium fans booing M getting sent off against his his old Club but them out like out playing him and and granted it’s Italiano it’s no longer M’s system you know but but M should know the club and the players better than than what he showed right go but finina bro till the very end and still undefeated how how can a team be going through crisis and they still haven’t lost a [ __ ] game because it’s it’s it’s it’s a crisis because of just the situation and the injuries and everything I mean granted MTA um has shown own kind of limitations when it comes to his offensive ideas and his ability to kind of um adapt to the players around him the players at his service cuz he’s not working with xergy over here you know he’s not working with the same caliber of players and the fact that he hasn’t been able to find the solution for these guys you know I mean Italiano had vovi scoring like crazy when he was at fena you know playing him over the top playing that’s what he was doing you know I mean noo is good at getting the best out of out of his players I think that the U hysteria is um over the top though I think that um they have a new manager who is very exciting granted he’s highly paid um but he’s a very exciting manager who made history at bologna last season and who who shows that his ideas at the start of his career exactly he’s at the start of his career because this is what people are saying people are comparing his start to allegri start allegri start was better with a worse team okay but Alle is stupid bro it’s dumb yeah Alle we we know what Alle is going to give you Allegre might do better at with juuv a team that he’s spent Seasons at a team he’s won the league with than MTA in his first experience with jua the only problem is that the transfer market that jua had kind of distorted the expectations of the fans of everyone to be honest with you it seemed especially a fan based who are win I know Rec hisory C miners yeah CP miners joining for example he’s going to take his time to settle him he’s coming from a from a a place where he was the main guy in a system that he grew to understand he’s going to take some time Douglas Le coming from different League having a few injuries as well exactly yes give them time it’s their first time working with M who’s clearly got a system whose second season season is always much better than his first season as we’ve seen everywhere he’s literally yeah I think jua fans need to be a little bit more patient while as well in the summer um sorry in the Winter Market I think Jun as well needs needs to obviously um fix the a bit they did well to get rid of dead weight but I think they went a bit too hard man I think I think Jun toly would notice that he made a bit of a mistake over there not a mistake I still think it it’s no one expects to have those injuries perhaps you should have better crisis management contingency budget um of of sorts I think he’ll notice that and he he’ll bring in some probably bring back some talent in in in January someone that knows the team or knows the league would be ideal can’t afford to have more people getting used to the system getting used to the team um what Adam said in our episode of bringing back rugani for example now I I I understand it even more um but what you when you get a 41 44 however old he is manager who only has three four seasons in s Four Seasons five seasons whatever you’re investing in time mhm you understand that the peak of the manager is not here yeah the chances of this guy finding his Peak at your Club are high mhm it’s not going to come in the first season his ceiling is incredibly High you have Floyd Mayweather at 50 years of age who notorious for defensive play could often be boring but he can scrape out wins in fact he has a good record but now he’s fallen stale whatever versus some young upand coming hot [ __ ] that is exciting that is explosive that is getting results yeah you know it’s the difference between like just to adapt it to a football analogy Milan signing more Milan signing Zer exactly yeah exactly you’re going to you’re going to compare the starts that they would have to a season it’s not about the start man when you buy someone young you’re investing in hopefully if they do well 8 years 10 years that’s how you judge a a young investment you can’t just say ah but alri in his last season had the same results so [ __ ] good good for m that he got the same results as allegri same results as someone that had been at the club he spent a total of 10 years at the club awesome he’s already there now it’s going do in the second half of the season when the players get to know each other better you know yeah there are still expectations of course there will always be expectations there are um goals um you look at the fact that football is a business you can’t afford to drop out of European competitions for example especially champ it’s a massive hit for Italian clubs right you need to qualify for that so there is still a lot of pressure for M to perform you know the season can’t go terribly because then he will get the sack they haven’t even had a loss yet that’s it that’s it they haven’t lost the game in the leag you know what’s concerning bro nine draws is mental nine draws in 15 gam [ __ ] crazy man what’s the difference between them that’s the thing let’s not forget they have an incredibly young team with the manager with the players everyone everyone is [ __ ] young what do you get with more experienced players like like inter have they know how to win games they they’re experienced they know how to get that extra chance from the referee that extra Corner that extra throwing what that extra red card yellow card whatever that’s going to help them win the game that offside trap whatever experience MH they don’t have yet that Cutting Edge of how to win a game they’ve had opportunities to win games and they haven’t they put four p in and they didn’t [ __ ] beat them you know what I mean they just lack that bit of extra experience it’s a very [ __ ] young team man a very young team yes and it’s a little bit different for example to mean situation who have Milan have Superstars you know in their team youve have the highest earning striker in the league but you can’t really I mean they’re not really proven Superstars at juv at least I think new everything is new yes but he’s new he’s a superstar at Atalanta you know so this is a young team it’s a longterm project um I I think that they will they will come good eventually be it this season be it next yes sir I agree um let’s move on jua are in sixth place on 27 points um whereas bologna are in eighth place on 22 points with a game in Hand of course the one against Milan fantina hosted ceri and they won one nil MH their squad their lineup was a 42 31 formation with the gay on goal dodo kuto rer and gosens at the back cataldi and Yasin the dream in the Middle with joro Eon on the right Rick sotil on the left beltron playing behind kuame you mean Yasin Beckham Yasin Beckham yes no um Beckham guy we’re going to start calling him Yasin guy you mean no okay Beckham guy okay that that’s his name he’s Beckham and goody infused into one bro that’s zenine Beckham [Music] gy we’re lame today Beckham gon there we go 42 3-1 for Keri with Alan Sherry in goal um aubert luperto Mina and Zappa at the back with makum and Marin in the pivot aell on the left zorte on the right and Viola playing behind Pi col of course if you look at the team it has all the makings of a three at the back formation as well without j a wide player and that was most of the time what we saw in action yes sir so yes um the goal came from cataldi in the 24th minute um and he celebrated of course he did a nice gesture as we said putting up the number four one 2 three four I told you so I told I told you so exactly tell my God that’s a an update we should have given earlier H needing a he opted for a temporary one for now defibrillator temporary defri so then he can decide if he wants to make it permanent or remove it okay I hope he doesn’t Rush any H decisions based on getting back to play football and whatever he can play with a defi defibrillator just not in Italy just not in Italy and not for the national team and however I’m not sure if opting against it will um will screw him in his Medicals you know because I can’t imagine it’s a tough situation yes it is so I’m not a doctor prior prioritize his health yes exactly exactly and Erikson you know after his episode he’s been playing consistently in the Premier League the most physical league in the world yeah so um so yeah if you can do it there Bo can too yeah but yes um this win actually brought fantina level on points with inter and Si um with a game hand Ker’s ker had a very strong second half push they missed quite a few opportunities they actually held their own in this game um but fantina are so are becoming expert at winning they’re becoming experts at winning you know they they hardly ever lost bro the season what’s their they lost one game what uh Fiorentina yeah one L one loss yes so they’re they’re doing very well they are another team that really they took their time to kind of get W get going to get the wins started but now they’re they’ve reached um they’ve hit this momentum and they’re doing really well I think it’s just to clarify um because I don’t know if this is what you meant both inter and fantina have a game in Hand of course the game that they had against each other that is indeed what I meant um yes when it comes to the game itself it was a fun watch very entertaining as I mentioned in the intro akumu missed a very good chance yerim Mina had moments where he was playing as a as a playmaker outside the a weighted at one point before s came a funer man and you can tell like he doesn’t take himself too seriously but he’s a leader in a wacky way as well he’s he’s very good BR does he also look a bit like om yes he does true well um dodo was really good this game I think Doo has really after his injury he’s really come back this is the best I’ve seen him at to be honest with you he’s so Lively M I was really impressed by him belron spoke Italian after the game in an interview and he’s a tuskan accent that’s a very interesting thought okay and yes um I don’t think there is much else to say about this game as as a game itself however fantina have won their eighth game in a row their last streak of such a nature was achieved in the 1959 1960 season so yes um absolutely inspired for for Paladino’s men I think it’s good to mention that um Paladino of course doing a good job with rotation yet again um they just lost to empo um on penalties where like Moen was playing and he missed a penalty so played a long while as well um now on Thursday they have the the game against the Austrian side um and you see he never goes all out with like swapping all 11 players like cont did or nine players like Baron did but rather intelligently swapping ground um players direct substitutions in the same position so in this game kuame started for example goodmon’s back from injury he’ll probably start in the in the CH in the conference League match um Eon started this game um smart rotation correct smart little rotation colpani was on the bench um Richardson came on quite early so that ad Lee can have a break um Goodmanson he’s not rushing him back into the team and again just the ability not to concede of course qua didn’t get any minutes and this is one area of criticism can we see more of Michael kyote what happened it’s not like even last season he just randomly stopped stopped playing it’s not like he ever had a bad spell and they’re like you know what we don’t believe in him too much if he’s not going to play he should be out on loan kyot because he has a super bright future man I I I really think highly of him I do um obviously it’s always beneficial to get game time however I think man the fact that fantina have such a good thing going it’s it’s not that bad for him to be in the dressing room just observing and playing with such a talented group of players as well obviously playing would be important for him and and I’m kind of disappo pointed that we’re not seeing him more often he can’t compete with doo yet he defensively yes hopefully we’ll see him for example in the Europa in the conference League sorry because do can’t play every game you know yeah that’s it um and I just want to mention as well pardon me beltron um smart player man very smart player and another assist in this game another contribution people thought that without Goodmanson fantina will struggle to create chances but Beltran has really fitted into that role brilliantly um time and time again he just keeps on contributing I believe this is third game in a role with a with a in a row with Goal contribution so more of that belron exactly exactly um Keri were were they they grew into the game they did the usual thing the the runer tactic of bringing in lbo to try to cause some havoc and lumo causes so many problems when he comes on of course something that we that we always highlight um but it wasn’t enough of course fantina led by kuto bro kuto is 19 and he plays I’m tired of saying it man but he’s so imposing as a center back he’s he’s not timid whatsoever he’s a bulldog monster monster it’s is a monster man to keep out pong Ric from the team like it’s very impressive from Young Defenders of is no with young Defenders typically they don’t insert themselves and they back up back up back up and they overanalyze when they can go in for that tackle we saw that with simic when he was starting off at at mil for example kuto is all up in your grill G he’s always all up in your grill and he has really good like gabia does this really well he knows when to press he knows when to go for the interception he knows when to hold back to have that at 19 is [ __ ] crazy bro it’s crazy to have that and his physical ability at the same time this he can be on a whole different level for Italian Center back abut because he already kuto deserves a call up to the national team and he’s 19 years old genuinely deserves it bro he’s among the best Italian center backs yes yes and might as well get him used to that environment Luca reri honestly might even deserve one himself I mean they’re King do you they’re doing they’re doing great things um let’s move on from this game though fantina are in fourth place with 31 points while Keri are in 15th with 14 points um two points um ahead of helas Verona when you look at the teams man Ker’s defense compared to Verona is just so much I know bro you look at luperto and y’s partnership um compared to to what did you call them yeah absolute um levels to this game literally there and who has the second most goes conceded Ko vanet No More Than vet the canker sisters the canker sister Roma four leche one first win for for Ranieri and the first loss for Johan Paulo 3 412 formation for Raneri as V in go backline of Inda Hamels and manini H it’s it’s it’s so good to see hmel starting now and playing so well and playing so he was obviously going to play well you saw him last season it’s not a joke he was top five center backs in the world last season angelinho out on the left Zaki chelik out on the Right double pivot of Paredes and cor with dybala playing behind El shavi and Sol markers Sal marker is back since September um and dob had the flu it was also a 3412 formation forra like for like Falon and go backline of baso Gaspar and Jean straight up [ __ ] Jean Gabby Jean Gabby Jean yeah his first name is Gabby Shan Gilbert out on the right Patrick dorgo out on the left double pivot of kibali and ramadani with Rafia playing behind christovich and rebich um Gabby Jean is a 24y old Frenchman thank you you’re welcome he um was bought from a team called Anese anes anes that sounds like something a rapper sips eny veny leny with my Hennessy Roma secured a much needed win at the sto olympico ending their four game losing streak salers opened the scoring early with a neat finish if you can call it that because it literally rolled in um after a clever assist by Stephan shawi I wouldn’t call it a neat finish I call it a lucky finish it’s true it is quite it’s quite wasteful but very Lively and he can change the season for Roma because he’s so energetic and he’s improved versatile he’s improved his intelligence as well man working under M mhm to be fair even at Milan in his last season he he was but he still had brain dead moments at Milan he’s a different player ah he tried to Source a bit too much yeah yeah he’ go for that dribble instead of the obvious pass he’s really grown it was his his season alone at bologna that started to change things in fact I was really excited to have him back at Milan got a great preseason as well yeah same here no but Tammy Abraham right I mean Em Right no but he was the swap ah of course that was SW deal we’ll see how that cuz it was kind of the fees and the Clauses were undisclosed so we’ll see how that devel and Milan apparently already set on not keeping Tammy Abraham so seeing salamak is back would be interesting anyway they should change his number and then bench him they should bring him back play a 34 to one selo for 175 million Sal 69 give sers the 69 by dranovsky speaking of 69 um let chiliz through Nicola christovich penalty after Abdul Hamed’s foul um H is foul Abdul Hamid was brought on for the injured zelik um but Roma then took control in the second half what an assist though by Abdul Hamid later yes so this was a terrible foul but then the the was fantastic um John Luka manini Resto lead with a fantastic diving header followed by pili’s composed strike on a Counterattack it looked really good with that finish um pil his late run perfect stride good firm confident hit into the bottom corner I like that love to see it he’s very young 20 years old Corner rounded off the scoring with a fine individual effort late on let’s just struggled to create clear chances but came close when barisha hit the post in stoppage time yes positive Roma performer so firstly Roma had an exu of 1.9 which is great to see they had nine shots on target so they absolutely they demolished leer in this game um it’s to be honest I’m more concerned about the first half that Roma had but there are some particular individuals that I want to give a shout out to um that Roma and these are unlikely Heroes with El sharawi and Paredes are two unlikely heroes yes because with the amount of Investments Roma made around the team to give it more balance to remove some dead weight glad they didn’t remove players like El sharawi and Paredes El sharawi wears his heart on his sleeve now he’s he’s really become a leader at this team absolutely and Paredes has veteran shwi veteran and Paredes is back to the Mourinho days yeah um but and composure two players stand out to me right now um as concerning if Roma don’t get any form of European football two players are too good to be at Roma at the moment and these are K and dybala and cor by by more than that you know cor is incredible what a coupe man corner is like isn’t that physical technical yes it’s good but I’m saying that they might lose him yeah make 100 he’s the kind of player if he lives up to the the form that he’s on and the expectations least I have of him he can be a player worth millions bro Millions he’s he was bought for according to this take it with a pinch of salt according to sofa score for 18 million from M gladbach yeah um it was two installments over here so I’m not sure Ming gladbach had acquired him for 9 million but yes basically he’s a he’s a very talented player [ __ ] the price they paid and we don’t have that prepared Milan did want him he is very physical very technical at the same time reminds me a bit of Pogba not the same with the ball at his feet not not the passes and stuff Pogba was on a whole different level over there but the way he moves with the ball at his feet those long lengthes the same physicality where he looks tall and frail but he’s [ __ ] strong like bro there isn’t there is Lim of body fat on that guy he’s he’s excellent M and yeah I think this was a an important victory for Roma who really needed forther confidence it’s a really shame do had the flu cuz he could have got a goal here and would have really help Lally literally I just want to go back to par because he had 108 touches in this game um and he had five shot creating actions and very strong defensive contributions when I tell you the the words that I used are balls and composure that’s the best way to describe his performance over here and it’s the player he could be when the going gets tough he can really be that leader he can be that tough guy he can be that that dep all in the so he he was that guy in the world cup as well to be fair shot the ball at the nether absolutely incredible moment one of my favorite moments in the World Cup um Hummels of course showed defensive solidity crucial tackles good clearances control L the defense just having experienced figures like him and manini um at the back is is very good for Roma um and and and and even the young legs of Evan Anda the balls of manini the the the brain of the brain of hums and the the body of Inda makes you a perfect woman and the eyes of the [Laughter] um yes Gaspar did not get injured this game but he did get injured in training and that is very concerning fora in my opinion um they will have to figure out um a way to to replace him because he is he was by far the the he was everything at the back for him you know I mean boto alone looks a little bit shaky he bring in a player like Gaspar and he he settles him he can’t now B has assume the role of a leader let’s hope he can step up no he’s out for the season he’s finished um it was actually late in the game the not that I had was it but he he wasn’t subbed out so probably because it was late in the game right you saw that that that that what’s his name I think he’s Spanish plays in plays in the MLS he played like 15 minutes torn ACL ah I saw something um absolutely why do I want to say Nikas it’s something it’s something no no it was what’s his name bro the for yes but you just reminded me it’s similar bro he he used to play with Barcelona um look it up look it up Ru pig ruy pig p pig p p they call him something that’s if if I would like to take this moment to apologize for the behavior of my coost dude does not do what the I’m not sure if he if he did te as ACL but if he played 15 minutes with a tour in ACL that is some amateure management that’s that’s what men in Blazers told me who keep horning out over police but you follow men and Blazers I I was so who are men and Blazers I think they’re called men and Blazers this um Instagram page is clearly around by Americans and every time an American footballer even starts a game bro they go n how they milk it oh my God mcken P and M are all starting and they’re all starting oh my God Poli could be worse but whatever BR we’re behind this was this was ranieri’s 100th game in charge of Roma yeah what what it was ranieri’s a 100th game in charge for Roma and it was like his third this season so that’s that’s pretty crazy um chelik of course got injured as well and Gaspar is out for the rest of the season um good things for for Roman this game but of of course can’t get carried away for beating leche four goals to one um leche unfortunately for them after two positive results they had to be the team that Roma absolutely destroy for Roma to find some rhythm again and hopefully this is a turning point in their season um Roma find themselves in 11th place on 16 points they actually have four losses and one win in their last five whereas leer find themselves in 16th just three points behind r absolutely onwards and upwards to Veron we’re so behind yes bro I’m tell 10 minutes left um yes in fact we can make this a little bit quick this doesn’t need much um coverage Verana got absolutely slapped by empoli um 41 at home while in rtio which is the uh it’s basically a boot camp for players of St L up so we explained it um helas Verana played the 4231 of mono and goal Chacha manani davidovic and brother at the back with bellan and Daniel Silva as the double pivot suslo and lazovic out wide with livero playing behind the talented and the only breath of fresh air for this Verona team Casper T of course him and Bellion to be honest but this game Bellion was not good no for empol was Vasquez and go at 3421 formation with v ismy and go o cheesy at the back jazzi was on the right petel was on the left Mal and Han in were in the Middle with kakach and the sposo playing behind P notice how High Kaka was deployed this game yes yes um it was a disastrous first half performance um and it pushed helas ver quite deep into the relegation own goals from esposo kakach and Colombo sealed the win T said got a constellation goal esposo of course scored twice he was the one to score the first two goals um Zanetti did express some optimism before the match but there were obviously mental lapses in this game as the first two goals were caused by lost Balls by manani and bellan was super amateur play we’re going to play our game he says they were down and out man lots of defensive errors which empol did not um hesitate to take advantage of and to pounce on um one of our um mates on on Twitter who who supports helas Vero was at the game and he said my god do the hell hell Verona fans dislike mosara mhm they booed the [ __ ] out of him apparently and he looked very amateur he’s the scapegoat he he was just [ __ ] up every ball he touched bro this game um so he was getting booed and he was um getting he was frustrating everyone everyone got um got booed this game it was it was just a disaster you know man and helas Verona they are the team as we mentioned with the lowest wage bill they are about about to sack their coach to employ someone who’s only ever managed in Sera D things are not doing very things are not doing things aren’t going well for them and they’ve been in the same battle for 3 years that’s when you know it’s time toting look at saso they got relegated I’m not saying they’re they’re going to come back and and get Europa League you know what I mean but they got grassa they they they signed a few new Defenders some young ones like which is an area where they really struggled they didn’t have the pressures to compete financially with teams that are way bigger and more profitable sometimes you need a season a season out man sometimes before going to University you need to take a gap here you need to take a gap here you to go suck some [Music] dick once again I apologize for the behavior of I just need to yeah they have some fun it’s um it’s a disaster for them and they played like they were protesting the and there’s not much to say empol as organized as ever everyone had fun this game the only negative for them is that they lost pelri while kakach became the first player from New Zealand to score in Sera a wow yeah so congratulations Libby yes the Liberator next next episode we’ll do the Haka to honor you yeah yes when it comes to the standings of course Veron are now in 18th with 12 points while um where they where are they imp imp are in 10th wow with 19 points all the way up there above Roma what the heck was that man almost vomited water that was crazy um but good to see empo just smelling blood in this game and just they noticed that Verona were slacking and I mean two goals in in 3 minutes and then another one uh 15 minutes later absolutely lethal BR like like like inter in that like what did against Verona they killed the game in the in the first half and they had a penalty canell Anin won it um he was really good Anin esos second I like Anin a lot like whenever I watch him I’m like who’s this guy I’m like ah it’s Anin esos do second goal particularly going for the near post was deadly as [ __ ] and it’s good because they have a lot of striking Talent unfortunately P now um hurted but it’s good for them all to to grab some goals but vaneta KO let me put my hood on for this one it was absolutely crazy Vania Como it comes to the weather um K make it nine without a win I’m just going to repeat that nine games without a win for Komo as they now gear up for an even tougher run in as the one than the one that they had they’re just a lake bro they’re just you’re just a lake um as Venia maintained their spot in last place congratulations venea um stanovic in goal for venea backline of altares VOD and itses zampano on the left Candela on the Right double pivot of kavila and dbia buia and oristano playing behind poalo or poang go uh 42 31 formation for fabrigas is men Pepe Raina and go a backline of Vander brm ganiga Kemp F Salah double pivot of angelart and auna steta p and fera playing behind Botti what are you laughing [Laughter] at Joey D [ __ ] me forever man he [ __ ] me forever I can no longer say that guy’s name Jesus what’s his first I’ll find out his first name yes please yes please that’s all I’m going to call him from now on weather chaos the match was played in extreme weather at the penzo stadium with heavy rain cold and 70 km per hour winds heavily influencing the game play of course we call him Eddie from now on his name ISO Eduardo Ed okay Eddie um KOMO initially dominated due to the wind Advantage so it’s like the hill of Newcastle um forcing venetsia into defensive mode defensive mode against the Run of play kavila put vaneta ahead in the 16th minute with a long range shot that deflected in by poano to so Poo’s goal and catching Ko’s keeper peper off guard Kom equalized in bizarre fashion in the 49th minute as Candela scored the most bizarre own goal but but this was a funny one cuz he was on his own he could he probably couldn’t see bro he probably had water in his eyes and his mouth drown like it’s a nightmare man um so he voied it into his own net like no one was around him and he obviously he wasn’t expecting the B the the visibility was off um and he reacted in such a way that he guided the ball to the back of his own net moments later belotti gave K the lead with a close change finish from uh Vander brm Low cross and then venetsia rallied with oristano scoring directly from a corner kick to make it 22 um of course it looked like actually he was trying to play the ball far out but the way that it curved cuz of the wind was crazy n kavila thought it won it for Vania with a stunning long range strike but V this allowed the goal due to point pao’s offside position for interfering with play I never like those calls unless you literally stood in front of the goalkeeper man it felt harsh to me like so what he didn’t touch the ball he didn’t influence play I think vaneta considering the the conditions might have actually deserved to take something out of that game you might say okay but coma had an ex of 1.05 penet of 0.32 K dominated position so what yeah so what they had the ball in the the back of the net they they didn’t exhaust themselves they were smart with the with the conditions now a game with those conditions can go one way or another it could either go the same way that Gena Torino went which was also extreme conditions where it’s nil nil and no one’s doing anything because it’s impacting them or is it going to be brave like two teams like vanets and Komo for a relegation six-pointer in those conditions sign me the [ __ ] up and Absol of a game so entertaining to watch anything could happen and anything did happen um Hans nikoi kavila this season is on three goals unrecognizable since I thought he was more of a metronome goal scoring pardon me he’s a goal scoring midfielder yeah he plays kind of like as a as almost a medala and he’s he’s got a rocket on him that tessman roll yeah he’s doing really really well 24 years old right now of course former juu player um has quite a few um experiences under his belt at peruja Parma sutol Sal nitana um of course juen next gen and Juventus themselves so yeah nice to see his development um continuing and he’s he’s thriving he is the most important midfielder for this team it’s hard to analyze a team’s performance in these conditions uh almost unplayable you know a go directly from a corner and know goal as a result it would be harsh um to criticize anyone for any of those it’s hard to even criticize fabrigas um as I have been doing and I believe that he he might be one of the reasons that Kaa haven’t won a game in nine matches and I think he’s automatically excused for it because of his high position but KO they they had an opportunity they’re unlucky because they had an opportunity to get points finally against a team like Venia but they were struck with these conditions um yeah so I’m not quite sure if if it would be fair to to criticize fabrigas for this but let’s move on yes I think it’s better um how far in are we um just over two hours just like about about two hours Vania last place on nine points Koo 17th Place on 12 points level on points with 18th Place Veron actually um if you’re wondering by the way why we um worry about the time it’s because of our Youtube upload and because the video actually becomes quite difficult to work with um so let’s quickly do Monza UD um Monza UDA was a very entertaining game on a Monday night udz actually won 2-1 um in the end um they started off with razvan sa Sava in goal with zamura j b and e at the back E eeking camp on the left zarag on the right L and carlstrom in the Middle with Lua and thuvan starting up front nice to see thuvan back and S he played really well um 3421 formation with for Monza with turati in goal it soari and carbon as the back three with Pereira on the right kopis on the left biano and bond on the middle Daniel Maldini and caprari playing behind the Towering figure of Milan jurich update alert Andrea panana has extended his deal by a year with Monza without um actually asking for more money he just spread his salary across another season um the the announcement was like with great affection towards the club Andrea patan has extended by one year metal is very very goodal Legend um the first goal came many an injury sorry for Monza Pina crano galardini and diao still out yeah yeah absolutely um the first goal came through luuka who um received the ball wait sorry so Thon initiated the attack from the right he released zamura on the left delivered a pinpoint cross to Luca who Out jumped Pablo Mari of course to head home um not even sure he needed to jump cuz he jumped and put his head down he’s so tall and he scored nice to see him back in his goal scoring form he scored again shortly after with a cut inside and a shot over the goalkeeper but it was deemed offs side rightly so he was offside to played a nice ball to him but he his run was a little bit early um kopis equalized shortly after the restart Bianca’s incisive pass from the left following christensen’s poort clearance found kopis who rifled the shot past the goalkeeper and eventually it was in the 70th minute that jakabol put them um put UDA back in the lead um eeking comp set him up and he his low Drive um slipped through tti’s legs into the far Corner Monza pushed for an equalizer they brought on m s marage they tried to um hoof to the ball up field and knock down through jurich to um kind of create something to some chaos I think Monza have um enough players to have better expectations unfortunately for Nesta I think that um it’s time I don’t think it’s time yet I don’t think it’s time my God no man I don’t think it’s time he’s a new manager um I think one in the relegation Zone they are in the relegation Zone um however I think with their with the team they have it’s a little bit better than the others when it comes to defensive defensively I really like their defense and I think they have offensive options as well I think just because they had they got good results previously against top sides give him the game against leer see how that goes if you don’t win the Electra game then you’re going to let him go then what you’re going to appoint a new manager for a game for a U game but then you have I’m sorry but then the new manager has has um Parma and ker to play against back to back and I wouldn’t even be I wouldn’t even be totally shocked if they let Nesta have that spell as well and wait till the ceri game until they decide his future because again man it’s very very difficult to judge because they’re not getting the results but you watch them and they they’re they’re all right you know it’s so disappoint I think they were all right in this game this game was one of the bad ones one of the worst ones I’ve seen to be honest from them so far um they’re really struggling to get points man OD denza hadn’t won in five games this was an opportunity if you’re you’re keeping a manager on for these opportunities so that he can get points and keep the ship afloat and he’s not capable of of doing it of course it’s not just down to the manager to do that I’m sure the issue is is on the pitch as well but come on these players are are good you they it it was a gamble get n let’s not pretend like he’s decorated and we know at some point results are going to come it’s a g it was a Gamble from the start I may have disagreed with it but I didn’t know what what he could offer kind of thing yeah I don’t know to me it it it screams okay now it’s dangerous let’s bring in someone to save our season at least maybe demote Nesta to somewhere or whatever and and then I don’t know or just cut ties um it’s we we’ll see what they do I’m very curious ious to see how they will um handle the situation this is one of those things um when you run a football club that I would imagine is very tricky because you’ve got a manager who is obviously well respected he obviously has good ideas he speaks well he has a modern approach to the game but the results aren’t there how much time will they give just be a fit man it might just not be a fit he could he could strive teams look at he’s sucked at other team now at empo they match his vision he has the players that are right for him you could see what nesta’s trying to do unfortunately it’s not seeming like it’s it’s a fit though that’s true Matias this morning hit us with a fantastic stat at 658 a.m. [ __ ] yes M this is what I love I love waking up this [ __ ] with their win against Monza yesterday with Thea now have as many wins six in 15 games as they had in their whole pre season last year they are much better as a as an outlet and and we highlighted this last season we said that they have a nice little spine of of young talented players who can grow together to something unless you know the inevitable happens and they sell Lua for 25 M million to literally or 30 million whatever give me Len I really wanta I really wanta I I like I like his stuff I really want Lua like why does it have to be someone from the French League or some [ __ ] like that give give me look man I don’t know what why do you play Davis instead of him but yes um honestly Dano aino we can skip it like boring like bro b o r i n I struggled and tell us where they are tell us where they are really quick okay mon are in 19th with 10 points keep them while their counterparts in Den are in ninth with 20 points still very good J nil Torino nil Five Points in three for Via seven losses two draws and one win and Van’s last 10 woo another one um 42 31 formation for Vie men leali in Gold very good keeper um sabelli bani Maturo and Martin at the back frr and badel in Midfield with MTI thoran zanoli playing behind pinamonti 352 for Van’s men vanan gold back L of vukovich Koko Ma and mazina Pon on the right vo out on the left rich linti and jantis in Midfield with Sanabria and Sh Adams starting up front together another rainy and windy encounter over here Torino had a great chance in the 40th minute sha Adams crossed to Sanabria he missed the overhead kick foras follow up Voli struck the far post I don’t think he was expecting it um but huge Miss huge chance over there probably the only good chance in the game Torino main maintained their High Press in the second half dominating possession and pinning Genoa back Vieira brought on vitina and Balotelli while vanoli responded with car and Lazaro but neither of the team found the Breakthrough Torino thought they had scored in the 89th minute when caramore found the net but the goal was ruled out due to a clear hand ball in the buildup by Koko who’s been on the wrong end of some some things an own goal um a few mistakes by Koko who had a really good start to the season Koko started off as a nice healthy one with like one of those clean WIP now he’s simply diarhea no now it’s now it’s a mess you go to wipe and through your finger he’s still doing well of course but he’s not as solid as he looked at the beginning of the season I was particularly disappointed with Shay Adams on that delivery um and I think he if he’s on the end of these balls he does well but if he’s delivering them man yeah I think he left a lot of Des the balls the passes he gave a cross he squared a few crosses well he had a great ball to Sri and vo Vada they just didn’t manage to to net it also the conditions played a part this in this now I’m remembering the the one you told me the the vo VOD overhead kick it was attempt that that should have put them in the lead it was a Sanabria overhead overhead kick attempt and then vo VOD hit the post right after okay so he probably distracted him yes I don’t think vo thought he I thought vo thought sria was going to get it he wasn’t has an gu has a habit of doing that uh um this is literally a game that takes place when it’s windy and rainy it’s one of the scenarios you can expect either a messy shootout or two teams that are kind of um that kind of don’t want to insert themselves too much it runs the risk of injuries and it’s too unpredictable I think Genoa were happy here to sit back and get a draw I think Torino were like that as well but then when they felt Gena hesitating they’re like yo maybe we can get a win over here um and they were actually the aggressors if you can call them that they had more shots on target they had roundabout similar possession but they were definitely the most dangerous side there’s just one point I want to bring up and then we can call it uh show um these teams that previously had pragmatic managers like Torino um Verona as well now started off the season with offensive managers found success at the start of the season because they were shocking teams like Torino did like Verona did um there’s another team that I wanted to reference but I I keep I keep forgetting um now over a longer stretch of time they’re getting caught out and they’re struggling and Torino are one of those teams they had a very exciting hot sexy start now they’re the further away really strugg you go from the coach that you downgraded from the wor you look because vanol is a downgrade to your Rich it’s obvious absolutely good good point absolutely thank you King yes I think we can call this an episode it’s been fun yes sorry um we’re actually I’m going to address this we’re actually in talks because one thing I don’t like is we like to call ourselves the podcast that covers every single team sometimes the format of looking at every single fixture um ends up with us having to rush through some of of the games and it really doesn’t allow us to put that serious Spotlight on the smaller team sometimes so we’re currently in talks on ways that we can improve this so that we give every single team the same amount of energy um we’re going to take a few days to chat about it we’ve been cooking a little bit um if you have any suggestions do let us know but the last thing we want to do is rush over a game between Kaa and and another exactly so so we have received a lot of positive feedback when it comes to the episodes where we’re essentially Off Script yeah where we are just talking um so we’re we’re thinking of put aiming our podcast in that direction yeah um we will still obviously talk about every team because that is the small games are our passion that is where that is where I guess you as the listener if that’s what you’re looking for that’s where you’re lucky because we we will talk about them regardless of course um and they will probably be the main event in most I think focusing more on the grand scheme of things it doesn’t really matter if pelri hit the post does it in the 47th minut in the 47th minute so just looking at ways to be a bit more effective with our time as so we’re probably thinking of something like we will introduce the episode go through a rundown of the of the matches like do right now talk about the rundown in a bit more detail pointing out um tactical notes and then we’ll have talking points from Main observations and key moments from the week that we will spend two hours talking exactly and [ __ ] that we find interesting that you guys are just like us man so they they’ll be points that like we’ll discuss one particular question for 20 minutes we’ll discuss one section on and the European this is another thing it takes us over two hours to cover 10 games a week we don’t have time for a question segment yeah so like this we’ll be able to interact with the listeners a little bit more and have a weekly question segment going CU it’s a shame because every time we put out call for questions we get so many it’s true it’s true but let’s call it there because the upload is going to be horrendous and love you all so much sorry we can’t be there next week but we’re going to be running away from bears in Romania um and running away from pck pocket see you next see you the following week love you all Chia Chow if you like Syria a or have ever liked it in the past it’s a good opportunity for you to listen once a week and you’ll get filled in in the football weekend that’s like the main dish but then a few days later you drop your episode and that’s like the dessert and the dessert is just perfect it’s good the cake it makes it feel like we’re all sitting in a room together just bsing with each other the atmosphere is fantastic I promise nobody will ask you to send boob pigs sometimes may be good sometimes may be [ __ ] I love how you go into so much detail and show so much passion towards each and every team literally no team is left undiscussed when I listen to you it’s like I’m talking to you in a pub it’s like I’m chatting to a friend and you’re chatting to me
