...Bolice, come on baby, come on baby, come on baby! USA, USA, USA! Pagin, PDD Pagin, Christian Polizika, the captain of USA National Team. Called down by Birindelli, this is called Pani. Checks inside, still called Pani. Ghost for goal! How about that? I'm from Andre, called Pani! Hello and welcome to another episode of SEA-A Spotlight. This is episode 90 and we are with Jake and Matt here to cover all the happenings of match day 2 in SEA-A. Come on baby, come on baby!

As you guys heard from the intro, we couldn't help but add a bit of banterist commentary brought to you by Milan's commentator Mauro Assuma. That was for Christian Polizika's opener against Torino. However, our goal of the week did come from Colpani after his first goal of 2 against Empoli, where he basically beat his man outside the area and thumped the ball into the near top corner. Beautiful goal and a great performance by Colpani this week. Yeah, player of the week for sure, I think so.

It was between that and Ngonj's goal because Ngonj had a lot to do upon receiving the ball at the halfway line and he took it all the way, he beat his man and he hammered it home. There was also Duvan's apart, rolling back the airs and striking that ball on the turn. Within a second the defender was done and he had just a brilliant strike into the bottom corner by him.

We had a few contenders, I think Polizika's opener was quite a good goal as well, linked up well with Loftus Striek over there, some good team play by Milan. Yeah, definitely, fantastic goals all around. Guys, remember to follow, like and rate us 5 stars. Do let us know below whose goal you think was better by the way.

Yeah, when is our Asta for our Fanta Cultural League? It is, I believe next week. Next week, okay, interesting. The date I believe was the 11th, but don't quote me.

The league is up to 10 people now, so it's going to be way more competitive, particularly when it comes to bidding for players, more competition. Every kind of average player, their prices goes up even more. Of course, you're going to need to take the likes of Lovumbo and Banda, those are going to be the gems. Hey, don't give away our secrets now, bro. I believe there are some news updates that you should take. Yes, I'm just going to quickly, quickly run down the funny events of this week.

This is a new thing we've been doing. So this week in Seiya, we saw referees suspended. A power cut at Sunsea, Rome made the game. High caliber last minute transfers such as Lukaku to Rome, Poverty to Winter and Tarimi to Milan is also looking likely. Many a David defeat, many a Goliath and Goliath just so happens to live in Rome as Verona Angel and Abithra Roma and lots here respectively. While Frosignone slayed Atlanta, I'm not quite sure what's going on with my pronunciation. I think Goliath.

I think it's the red wine that started there a little bit. Calieri fans demonstrated that football is indeed for everyone as a person living with a disability flipped off the Inter fans in a hilarious video. Francesco Totti, son, Christian Totti made his debut for Frosignone's Primavera team and of course, Mauro Summa spoke English, which is always fun. Everyone has to go see the video of the Calieri fan flipping the bird to Inter. Just a proper lad just enjoying a night of football.

It's one of those videos where you never believe what's going to happen next. The video starts with a guy mooning the fans. So the first thing you see is a guy's ass. He grabs his Johnson, he feeds them the bird and then out of nowhere. It's just so funny. You have to go. We're also at the moment while recording this episode, catching up on some Serie B. At the moment, we're watching some Doria against Venice. The scenes are pretty lit.

Some Doria fans coming out and supporting their team, despite being in Serie B this season. There are some other top games going on at the moment. But let's move into matchday two of Serie A. I'll take you through the rundown. We're going to start things off by discussing Milan's 4-1 victory over Torino Giroud who is having himself a brace over there through two very controversial penalties awarded to Milan. Inter went to Sardinia and managed a 2-0 victory against newly promoted Calieri.

Napoli slayed Sassuolo with the score of 2-0 despite Giacomo Raspadori failing to score against his former team after missing a penalty. Juventus 1-1, Bologna 1, led to the referees getting suspended for a while from Serie A following a penalty not being awarded to Bologna. Very very incorrect call over there. Hellas Verona beating Roma 2 goals to 1 and being one of the few teams to win both of their opening games. Lazio Nyl, Genoa 1, Lazio haven't picked up a point yet this season.

Frazzinone 2, Atalanta 1, Frazzinone looking really good at starting the games off with a lot of energy and getting goals in the first half. Fiorentina 2, Lecce 2, Lecce coming back from a couple of goals down and managing to get the draw over there. Yet again. Yet again. Monza 2, Empoli Nyl. No real surprises there. Comfortable. Comfortable and a couple of great goals by Colpani. Salernetana 1, Udinese 1 in what was a very very competitive game over here, very physical game as well.

6-30 treat on a Monday. Your prediction earlier on, I believe you had corrected it. I did correct it. Empoli to go down. I called you crazy. Look, it's still match day 2. My prediction came off nothing much more than a gut feeling. The gut feeling is still there. It's just logically there are teams that are worse than Empoli, but from what we've seen thus far, the team has a lot of improvements to make like significant ones.

I'm saying at the moment they do look like the weakest team in Syria are judging from the first two matches that they played. But again, it's still very early. Turns out, they had a very disappointing loss to Helus Verona. But Helus Verona now just beat Roma 2-1. So you never know. Now Verona might lose to some nobody and Roma might beat Milan next Friday. We need a sample size. We need to gauge a few games to see where exactly everyone stands.

I think 10 match days in and you can start getting an idea of who's where kind of thing. Despite the fact that a manager might get sucked and seasons might turn around, you never know. But maybe Empoli will get relegated. We'll see. I believe you have the first game, brother? I do have the first game with Milan for Torino 1. So in the opening game, Milan defeated Bologna away from home with the score of 2-0 whilst Torino were coming off a nil-nil home draw to newly promoted Calieri.

Milan have won five of their last seven in Serie A against Torino, but Torino did get the better of Milan twice last season once in Coppa Italia and once in Serie A. AC Milan and Torino have drawn 56 of their 153 matches in Serie A, with both sides only recording more draws against Lazio in the top flight, 59 for the Rossoneri and 58 for La Granata.

Milan stuck with the same 11 that beat Bologna to goal-stunnel, giving Christian Pulisic, Loftus-Cherique and Tiani Reinders their first taste of San Siro, with Ben Nasser still out injured and Eunus Moussa finally available for the first time and featuring off the bench. Toro were still missing Koffi Gigi and Demba Sek after a disappointing goal-less draw to Calieri. Milan played a 4-3-3 formation with Mike Manian between the sticks and the backline of Calabria, Ciauto Mori and Theo Hernandez.

Reinders, Kronic and Loftus-Cherique formed the midfield three with Leao out on the left, Pulisic out on the right and Giroux in the middle. For Torino, it was a 3-4-1 formation with the big boy Vania Milinkovic-Savic between the sticks and the backline of Shurs Bonjourno and Rodriguez. Bella Nova was the right wingback, while Voivoda was the left wingback and Ricci and Ilic formed a double pivot with Vlasic and Radonic playing behind Tony Sanabria.

Tony Sanabria however in the opening moments of the match and just moments after I picked him up on Fanta Calcio went off injured and was replaced by Pelegri, still more information to come out about his injury and we will keep you guys updated once we hear more on that.

In the 33rd minute Pulisic opened the scoring, the American once again started and finished the action, he played through Loftus-Cherique wide inside the box who opened the angle extremely well before returning a low diagonal ball for Pulisic to tap in, brilliant between the two former Chelsea players and former Chelsea teammates.

However it was just three minutes later as Milan's defence struggled to take shape after clearing the ball Ricci's mishit shot fell to Shurs who found himself in a defensive hole and he did extremely well to volley the ball in on the turn from close range.

In the 43rd minute Giroud scored a penalty, the penalty was harshly awarded as VAR noticed a Bonjourna handball inside the area, please bear with me whilst I try to explain this as it is tough to put into words, as the ball was played into the box, Giroud ducked down and flicked on a header and with Bonjourna stationed right behind him and his arms planted on Giroud's back the ball took a small deflection on the hand of the defender following Giroud's header

his hands were very close to Giroud's head so there wasn't a lot of space for the ball to travel before hitting his hands there's no way Bonjourna would have gotten his hands out of there, it was so minor that no one noticed it from open play but in Italy it tends to be that if the crime is committed, the crime is committed you see in the Premier League and in the Champions League that actually take distance as a factor so on so forth

it doesn't seem to be taken too much into account in Italy, it used to be look as long as there's continuity we can't complain in this case Giroud stepped up and sent Vanya the wrong way with a perfect penalty hitting the side netting a few moments later at the stroke of half time in the 47th minute still in the first half Theo got his name on the score sheet, Theo played the ball to Leão on the wing and as the Portuguese held on to the ball well

Theo sprinted into the box very cleverly and received a return pass from Leão before he dinked the ball expertly over Vanya I'm gonna go back and say that this should have been a contender for a goal of the week because it's the best left back and the best left winger in the league linking up in that way and a tiny dink by Theo and the run of the ball the ball by Leão was so smart and was so clever Perfectly weighted pass, what a move

In the 65th minute another controversial penalty awarded to Milan This time VAR noticed Shure's planting his studs on to Leão after the Portuguese had delivered his cross Now despite the fact that the foul was committed after the ball left Leão's foot the referee and the VAR team still deemed this to be dangerous play inside the area which subsequently led on to a penalty In hindsight I don't think this was as controversial as the first one because it's a stump, you know what I mean

but the same result would have taken place but Leão did end up going off injured after that so penalty it was, once again Jirou stepped up and rather than sending Vanya the wrong way he left him rooted to the spot and once again hit the ball to the side netting, perfect penalty once again from Olivier Jirou Emphatic victory by Milan, very very dominant performance Do you think that the two harsh penalties played so much of a factor or did Milan deserve to win the game by that margin?

The first penalty awarded gave Milan the lead That was the most controversial one in my opinion No, that was the... it gave... yeah, it did give me... you're right, apologies And the last one cemented the victory

I do think that obviously it made a massive difference, right? I mean Milan looked comfortable and Torino still seemed to be settling into the season I think Milan would have got the job done either way, I know you can never really say in football but yeah, at the end of the day they were all over the place defensively I think Shorz had a pretty good start to the game but eventually you know, Leo, he ended up destroying him towards the end, all over again

I think the pressure that Milan are putting on their opponents with that high line, high pressure, high intensity in all areas of the pitch is really causing a lot of defensive areas, they're not letting the teams shift between actions They're playing a super offensive brand of football and the thing that I like about how Milan are playing right now is that they're managing to bypass teams' high defensive setup So before we saw Milan really struggle against the low block

I'm not gonna say that, they're not going to struggle against the low block after just two games However, Milan are doing this thing where they're managing to bypass the other teams' high defensive setup and no longer by just pinging the ball to Giroud for Affleckon but the Milan players are positioning themselves in such a way to create space in dangerous areas which is where Manjan comes in clutch and with his long balls and his short accurate passes

he's really managing to expose the defences, he had a pass success rate of 56.3% against Torino That movement, especially the movement by Giroud and the midfielders moving in such a way to create space for Leão down the flank and for the ball to be pinging down the flank for Leão is beautiful and the inverted wingers are playing a massive part in creating space as well You see Teo really joining the central areas and really linking up with Reinders, Loftus, Schrieck

and adding this fluidity and pace in the midfield and I think that just makes Milan so much more dangerous There are two things I noticed about Milan's good start So first of all it's the fact that these guys have played together before You look at Pules, Giroud and Loftus, Schrieck, they all know each other as they were key pieces at Sarri, Schelzi, right?

Another thing is that these guys were signed early on in the season Tonali was sold, literally, I think the first day the transfer window opened

What was it? The season I've just ended Tonali was sold immediately, I remember that Barely saw any of that And then people were just coming in, Reinders, Loftus, Schrieck, Pules, Schrieck were just being brought in immediately and they had a full pre-season together and they looked like they've already settled and that's crazy, I wasn't expecting Reinders to be so good this early on He looks like he's been a key part of the team for ages

So those are the two takeaways I take from Milan's great start right now and it's been a pleasure to watch and if Tarimi comes in they're gonna be like Okay, so you have Leau, Okkafor, Giroud, Tarimi, Pulesic, Choukouil, Madonna, man At the moment I do think that the best man for Milan up front with this brand of football is Giroud because he's playing extremely well with the young energetic players that are around him

and the fluidity when Giroud gets the ball and he's capable of releasing it so quickly quite far down the pitch with his back towards goal is really allowing players like Leau, players like Pulesic, even players like Loftus, Schrieck and Reinders to get into dangerous areas and they expose the defence that way I think I can't stress on how much I'm liking Theo this season with the amount of he's staying very wide throughout the entire game

but the way he's drifting centrally and playing with the midfielders, man, wow I never thought that he could move the ball that well, I thought he was just, you know, put your head down and sprint but he's actually quite clever when it comes to playing the ball short He's a very street smart player These guys can play very well, like if you compare this Milan to the Milan of previous seasons these guys are really good in tight spaces and that's why Giroud is striving

because they have great technique, they hold the ball and particularly Loftus Schrieck, you know, players I forgot to say this but players bounce off Loftus Schrieck when he hits the rhythm It's a certain pace and everyone bounces off him and it's true, like this game is happening The guys are three, man, Loftus Schrieck is a fucking three and he's so technically gifted as well, man, I really, really like Loftus Schrieck but I won't go on talking about Milan for much longer

Yes, operation, Taram is in full swing, the two teams can't stop communicating essentially apparently even having Skype calls at night permanent communication like have a cigarette break, you know what I mean The line is always engaged Salim Akers joins Bologna on a loan with option to buy for around 9 to 10 million and sad to see Salim Akers go, if you want, people were saying, you know, T'anali leaving T'anali born and bred Milan fan, he bleeds red and black

Salim Akers bled red and black too, man For me, shit deal, I'm sorry I agree I mean, you brought this guy in for what, 11 million? Three seasons ago, he's obviously improved he's developed, it's clear to see that he's a better player than when he came in How come you're not making a markup?

I feel like someone, I feel like purely and Salim Akers might have fallen out or there were some internal issues because he was being forced out and he was included in a list of players who weren't even playing like Balotore and Oregi like these guys don't feature, why is Salim Akers' name there?

He was a key player, he scored two of the only goals, Milan scored in the Champions League groups I think it's strange and I think they're in a rush to get rid of him and Balotore don't even have the obligation to buy him, they have the option so if he flops over there, they don't even need to get him Plus, sorry, I'm going to say one more thing I'm not even sure where to start, Balotore I don't think you will Because Indoya or Salini, Ferguson, he has a really good...

Literally even Wing-backs, there's Posh, he's not going to replace Posh No, and he's a right-sided player, although we have seen him play out on the left in the Champions League for Milan last season But they are perfectly put, bro I wish Salim Akers the best of luck in Bologna One thing is for sure, the fans are going to love him because he's a player that just comes in clutch I feel I had another point to make, yes, and it is about Leao having a much better match than that season opener

He grabbed and assist and he also won the winning penalty before limping off injured And he did earn himself a man of the match award after an underwhelming, like I said, season opener against Bologna To not be fooled, Torino will bounce back, they've had a slow start drawing to Kalyarri and getting trashed by Milan However, this is Ivan Yurich's side, and once they get players like Miran Chukon and ticking players like Vlasiv Chukon You know who they're bringing in, right? Who?

Duvan Zapata Apparently, El Toro signing the bull, bro That would be an episode titled, El Toro signed the bull Duvan Zapata, let's see if this is actually a step away from Buon Giorno's to the U.K.

Atalanta, oh wow, Atalanta want Buon Giorno, and they'll give them Zapata and the Ben And Sopi, and Brandon Sopi, that's a good deal Bro, Scalvini and Buon Giorno are the future two starting centre-backs for the Italian national team That's a triad That's a triad, that's a content That's it, content, sorry, I keep calling Spalletti Italiano, I wonder why, I'm gonna start calling you Spalletti

But that's enough for this game, we're very excited to watch Milan Roma next Friday, which will be the highlight game of the week Yes, the next game we're gonna be covering was the last game of matchday 2, it was Calieri Nyl Inter 2 in Sardinia Calieri have won only one of their last 12 games played against Inter This was 2-1 in March 2019, thanks to an own goal by Perisic and a goal scored by Nanadid and Leonardo Pavoletti Nanadadan, nanadadan, Ziela Metti, Senia Pavoletti

The line-ups, it was a 4-2-3-1 formation for Claudio Ranieri with Radunovic in goal, Augello as the left-back and Zappa as the right-back with a center-back partnership of Obert and Dossena, the midfield double pivot was the very disgruntled Sulemana and Macumbu, Jankto was out on the left with Orristiano on the right, Nandes was playing as the 10 and Pavoletti was playing as the striker

For Inter, it was Simone and Zaghi's trademark 3-5-2 formation with Summer in goal, Darmian, Debra and Bastoni at the back Darmfries as the right-wing back and DiMarco as the left-wing back, Mkhitaryan, Shalunoglu and Barella in the middle with Thuram and Martinez up front No, it all kicked off in the 21st minute when Thuram charged and released the ball intelligently to Darmfries who got in behind and finished well

Sulemana lost the ball and did a terrible job at tracking back on Darmfries and this would be a theme Sulemana really struggled with the pace of the game in the first half DiMarco, I have to say, it was a very good pass by him, similar to the Lea one in the sense that it was very well waited

Perfectly waited, yes, and it was kind of a no-look, no? He didn't really move his head that well You could tell the guy has quality DiMarco in the 29th minute played the ball to Lautaro who controlled, took a touch, beat his man and slotted it home Sulemana was caught in no man's land, once again he realized that he should have probably been on Lautaro and went to try to clear the ball off the line desperately but it was too late, Lautaro wasn't going to miss from there

In the 35th minute Ranieri made a tactical change and decided to change things up He took out Paavalletti, the target man, as they were struggling to get the ball in the box to be honest and when they did Paavalletti, I believe twice, they got the ball into the box twice while Paavalletti was on and he forced the header both times, failed to hit the target but he was looking dangerous Yeah, I think considering that Inter had naturally three at the back, that they could have used that pace

was the target man the right decision to take out, considering that sometimes if they're on the counter attacking down the wing and they play a high ball in the middle, then Paavalletti is your man, you see in the UK, in the Premier League It's all about having a big nine up front when you're losing, you know what I mean?

He brought on Lovumbo and said now Lovumbo is a very technical dribbler, he's a very dangerous player I liked the introduction of Lovumbo and he did well, he was forcing many attacks and the rest of the game was pretty much Lovumbo against the world but what happened then?

They were getting the ball into the box and they couldn't take their chance, you know, at all because there was no one to slot the ball, exactly Yeah, in the 88 minute they got particularly close as Lovumbo squared it across goal to Wadzi who had an empty net for a second but his shot wasn't powerful enough and he allowed Summer to come flying onto the ball Yeah, he made Summer look real good there He made him look real good And now he is good but he made him look particularly good there

Kalieri had a penalty appeal towards the end of the game but in reality I think Kalieri had one shot on target towards the end of the game and yeah, it was quite a routine victory for Inter Yeah, Inter are doing a very good job at finishing games off quite early and just taking it easy and defending their lead I don't think they were fazed by Kalieri at any point in this game, I think Inter remained organised

and I think that was as much of an easy victory as they're going to get if I'm being quite honest Yeah, I mean there aren't any easy games in the league and a 2-0 victory against a newly promoted side that's known to be tough, you know, you have Ranieri who's going to make your life hell You could see him from the very beginning, he was going tight, tight, keep it tight, you know, he didn't want Inter to penetrate at all and it took to be honest 2 half chances for Inter to score

Yeah, that's the thing, it was out of nothing Yeah, I'm not saying it was an easy game for Inter, I'm saying that they were so good that at their, not even at their best but they were comfortable with the quality that they have, they were supremely comfortable winning this game The 71st minute allowed Insargi to bring on some newcomers as well as he brought on Fratesi, Carlos Augusto and Juan Cuadrado In the 77th minute he also introduced Marco Hanna, Arnautovic as these guys continued to settle

They also brought in Sensi in the 82nd minute, I understand giving him only 8 minutes, you know, you don't want to risk him, he's made of gloss Yeah, well, Shomorrodov for example was brought in in the 80s, this guy can't seem to, I know it's early days but I don't know man, you joined a newly promoted side, I think you'd want to be a protagonist especially as someone who's coming from Rome at the end of the day

Look, and I mean even last season at Spetsia he had many an opportunity to show us his quality This is a guy that when he joined Rome I always said Morinio found, not his guy, but he found a very Morinio-esque kind of jolly to bring on the same way he had at the Bayou or at Real Madrid kind of thing But unfortunately I really haven't been impressed by Shomorrodov when seeing him playing man in Serie A

Funny quote from Denzel Dampfries after the game, he said the coach is always very excited on the side of the pitch He speaks a lot, sometimes I don't listen because it's too much, I know him now, it's good, he motivates me to attack so I like it He also said that he's happy when he has to go on the other side Yeah, that's great for a manager to hear, you know, the guy just wants me to shut the fuck up and he wants to be as far away from me as possible

I think some emotion and he doesn't listen, I'm his wife No fucking micromanaging the same way that Morinio used to micromanage Lucho You may have seen his body, but I was his mind So two wins on the trot for Inter as they continue their impressive start of the season Yes sir, the next game we're going to be covering is Napoli 2 Sasvolo Nyl Napoli were coming off a 3-1 away win against newly promoted Frozinoane while Sasvolo were coming off a 2-0 home loss against Atalanta

Napoli are now on beaten in their last 6 league games against Sasvolo where they won 4 games and drew 2 In this period they've scored an average of 3.4 goals per match Napoli have won both of their first 2 league games of a season in 8 of their last 12 Serie A seasons No team has more in the same period The champions of Italy made their home debut in a packed stadium and had Quaratschelia back on the bench after muscular issues

Sasvolo welcomed Roan Tres Soldi after suspension in the defeat at Atalanta but Gregor De Frell and Filippo Missori were not fully fit Augustin Alvarez, a long term absentee and Domenico Berardi still trying to force a move to Juventus For Napoli it was their 4-3-3 formation with Alex Maret in goal and a back line of Di Lorenzo, Rahmani, Juan Jesus and Oliveira and midfield 3 of Ziellinski, Lobotka and Anguissa, Raspadori was out on the left, Poletano out on the right and Victor Ossimen up front

It was the same formation for Sasvolo with Concili in goal and a back line of Tolian, Ehrlich, Tres Soldi and Vigna They had Bolaca, Lopez and Henrique in the midfield with Bayrami out on the right instead of Berardi, Lauriente on the left and Pinamonti starting up front Just 50 seconds into this match Di Lorenzo's early low cross was volleyed into the near post by Raspadori hitting the post and being denied a goal against his former side

In the 16th minute Ossimen managed to score from the penalty spot, the penalty was given away by Bolaca who tripped up Poletano inside the area following a great backheel by Di Lorenzo Ossimen nailed the ball into the top corner sending Concili the wrong way In the 50th minute Sasvolo, one goal down, still in the match against Napoli however Maxim Lopez got a straight red card because he basically told the referee to go fuck himself

You could see him talking to the referee, the referee looking away but Maxim Lopez said something as the referee then whistled and looked at him and gave him the red card When you're asking for it like that, I'm sorry I'm a big fan of Maxim Lopez but getting a straight red card for dissent when you're still in the game when there's 40 minutes left to go and more And your team loses the game simply because of your arrogance and I can't get behind that I'm afraid

In the 60th minute, just 9 minutes later after that Napoli were awarded another penalty, the penalty was awarded after Anguissa's header was blocked by the flailing arm of Tolján It's the same few that make these defensive errors for Sasvolo Ras Padori stepped up to get the goal against his ex but skied the ball instead, another thing I dislike is when players step up to take a penalty just so they could get a goal against their former team

Now sure, maybe Ossimen took the first one so they actually wanted Ras Padori to take this one but it just seems a bit arrogant in my opinion as well The same way like Shala Noglu did it against Milan and he scored and he fucking did the I can't hear your celebration and that's like respect to him for stepping up and doing that

You know what I mean? But when you miss it you really look like a twat, you know what I mean? And unfortunately for Ras Padori looked a bit like a twat I mean Ras Padori has never been one to show great respect to Sasvolo once after their loss against Inter he went into the Inter dressing room and celebrated with them What the fuck, disgusting

In the 64th minute Di Lorenzo finished very cleanly following a great through ball by Gvaratskjelja who had just come on and was positioned in a very central area over here Good to see Gvarabak and Di Lorenzo with a firing start to this season and that is the first point I want to make Di Lorenzo has two assists and one goal in the opening two games, this isn't reactionary because we've seen him play in the past few seasons as well

I go to say Di Lorenzo is the best right back in the league and the best Italian right back in the world and he is a world class footballer He's so good man There I said it Do you agree with the statement that he's world class?

Yes, I don't think there are many right backs who are as good as Di Lorenzo at the moment, I can't really think of many I agree, I agree Even in the opening goal the way he back healed the ball to Poletano who won the penalty was just incredibly intelligent and he could attack super well and he could defend even better, Di Lorenzo, that is what I like about him so much

Napoli have introduced these intense strobe lights following each goal in order to create a fire atmosphere whilst killing off any pussies that live with epilepsy Wow Don't you think it's a lot like in the sense that if you're in the stadium and you don't have epilepsy, what an atmosphere You know what I mean, score a goal that's black out in this big boom boom boom boom boom these massive strobe lights

But I do think that genuinely it is a concern if somebody has epilepsy he can't go watch Napoli because that really does need to be reviewed Apologies for my joke about them being with ease You know what I mean, it's a bit of a joke, it's a bit of fun but seriously they need to sort that shit out man Napoli, not the people with epilepsy I don't know much about epilepsy I just know that the vibes are cool though after a goal when the lights start flashing

It's the same way it is in the beginning of games and they do it in the San Siro as well but it's not that intense Like literally when it was blacking out you couldn't see anything on the screen There's been a goal for Sampdoria against Benetia and it's Estanis Estanis Estanis?

Yeah Okay it's Pedrola Yeah it's Pedrola Yeah it's his first name on the back of his shirt Gvara is back, grabbing himself and assist moments after coming on to think that Napoli could be more dangerous Yeah I mean, again what a start to the season for Napoli Showing that the main pieces despite Gvara's failure coming from an injury he contributed immediately up on entry Ozzie Menzoff to a flying start as well, De Lorenzo looks amazing

They look good, they look good, they look very good on the Ridley Garcia as well Absolutely man I do think Saaswala have had quite a tough start to the season, they had the opening game against Atalanta Despite Frozzanoa making quick work of Atalanta this match, they were quick work but they beat them Now they played Napoli, now in the next game it's an interesting one because they played Verona And Verona almost got relegated last season, it went to an relegation play out

Where they won because Farah only handled the ball off the line But now they're one of the few teams that got two wins on the trout in the opening two games So it's not going to be another easy game for Saaswala, do you have a prediction for that?

I think Verona might upset, Maxime Lopez will be out, Berardi will probably not feature Depends, I mean those transfer markets closes tomorrow, so we'll see if they play him or not I mean he'll probably still be at Saaswala, the question is will he be training with the team, will he be making himself available I do think Saaswala looked a bit better defensively in this game We can't really judge them because of Maxime Lopez's early red card of course

Pinamonti, 10 touches the whole game, looked like a ghost isolated He hasn't really clicked with his teammates yet and it's been over a season now It's about time that he starts to come back and sacrifice a bit Do you see anything in Mulatieri that would make you think he should be starting ahead of Pinamonti?

Honestly, I don't think it'll be long before he gets a start, if Pinamonti keeps this up I don't think Pinamonti is indisplaceable, I think he can't easily be benched Yeah, I agree with you, he's been a ghost for a season and this one now basically I think Napoli look good, I think they still look fluid, I think they look very organized as well under Rudi Garcia, I can't really say much because it was the two opening matches, one against Frozano

and the other against obviously Saaswala, which we just described but yeah, that's it for this round now Yeah, we're going to be moving on to Juventus 1, Bologna 1, an upset, you could call it an upset That was filled with controversy, it was the first real controversial game of the season and the authorities took action and we'll get into it very soon Apologies if you're whining in the background, we do not have a woman locked up, that's our dog

that's our very old dog, Alan has met him, our patron And I think he's missing his Mexican mama, if you're listening Alan He loves her, Alan absolutely loves her and he's so restless right now, I don't know what's going on with him It's a combination of the Valencia, being blind, being deaf I mean probably some of those, probably the low-key arthritis that he has as well isn't helping We also record without the AC on guys and it's like 30 degrees over here

so that you guys can have the best sound quality possible And he hates it, of course, the dog wants the AC on But anyway, Juve are unbeaten in their last 23 Serie A matches against Bologna They have 17 wins and 6 draws For the Bianconeri it is their longest current unbeaten streak in the competition So let's get into the lineups For Juve it was a 3-5-2 formation with Perrin in goal, Sandro Bremer and Danilo The back with Cambiazo out on the left and way out on the right

Robbio, Locatelli and Fajroli were in the middle with Vlaovic and Chieza up front For Thiago Mottaz-Bologna it was a 4-2-3-1 with Skorupski in goal Liko Giannis is the left back, Poshas the right back, Bocaema and Lukumi at the back With Moro and Albuscher in the double pivot Or Solini was out on the right and Doya was out on the left Ferguson was in the 10 and the Xergesi was playing up front Xergesi had an impressive match this morning So it all started in the 22nd minute

It took an excellent overhead kick from Bremer to keep the ball away from streaking Ferguson Although Bologna recycled the ball and forced a save out of Perrin When in Doya went for a goal from a tight angle In the 24th minute Bologna went direct Albuscher, Moro, Xergesi and Ferguson linked up well to shock Juve Xergesi held up the ball and flicked it off to complete Ferguson's 1-2 What a tidy player he can be And they took the lead over there

In the 38th minute there was a cross from where it struck a sliding Lukumi And the arm was deflected behind In season's pass this would have been an immediate penalty But the centre-back was reprieved by a new point of emphasis in the ever-changing handball rule It stipulates that if a player is actively breaking his fall with his arm Then he is not committing a foul if the ball hits it So basically because he was breaking his fall Because he was falling onto his arm and the ball hit it

That is not a foul, that's not a handball Therefore not a penalty, that was the most controversial call for Juve Then Bologna piled on the pressure after the goal And Juve didn't seem to have a response In the first half Juve had an exugy of 0.04 goals So they didn't really create anything In the 53rd minute Sandro lifted the ball to Bremer Who rose high and headed it across the face of Vladovic who volleyed it in Skorupski got his hand on it but couldn't keep it out

However celebrations were cut short as Rabi O had been an offside position During the build-up play Apparently he was blocking the view of the goalkeeper But this was also controversial and many people are debating whether this was actually fair Or not controversial, it's true The 70th minute was the talk of the town as Zerg Zays shots Were spilled by Perrin and fell into the path of Indoya Who was running in here, an open net But Illing Jr. flew into him and connected with his man

Forcing him to miss the ball, there was no var, there was no penalty And the Bologna officials were absolutely furious And no red card The Bello actually did show a red card to one of Bologna's assistant coaches And they yell out to Mata himself Mata is one of those people that when he's shocked he smiles He laughs, he laughs And pain in the ass, he woke or something And Bello you double booked my table, massive smile on his face You know the type, right?

Yeah, controversial In the 89th minute Pogba played Illing Jr. down the wing The English starlet whipped the ball into Vlava, who scored a stunning header A great header, probably a goal of the week contender as well Because that header was not an easy one True number nine header, professional header Honestly, headed to perfection Now the talking point, there is Illing Jr.'s foul, right?

It had already been reported today that the AIA would suspend both referee Marco Di Bello And two VAR officials, Francesco, Furnio and Luigi, Nazca Nazca, Nazca, Nazca, I guess For one or two months as a result to the AIA I believe it's a two month suspension for the referees Do you think this is fair?

I think so, I think action needs to be taken Especially when officials such as the referee in the scenario doesn't go to Czech Var And VAR failed to call the referee over when there's an infringement Especially when it's favouring the attacking team And in this situation, to me, it looked like from a consumer of Serie A It looked like the striker had an open goal And it looked like he was stopped from a clear go scoring opportunity Whereby there was contact with the man inside the box

Causing him to lose his balance and zero contact with the ball whatsoever That to me is not only a penalty but it's a red card as well That's the clearest one The one of Lukumi breaking his fall You understand that it's in the rule book You know what I mean?

The one of Ravion and offside position I hate those but it's consistent You see, up until three years ago, Kessey against Napoli Exactly And Geru against Napoli on the floor Geru, I think so as well In the Champions League as well, we see it So these aren't new calls So those they shouldn't be suspended for But that clear cut penalty, that clear cut red card I'm sorry but it's a bullshit call They should have taken a look If they don't take these, if they don't punish

Then there are going to be no statements made Exactly And with the, sorry one more thing With the controversy, Serie A has had with its referees Over the past two decades There's no room for that So the Federation are looking after their reputation as well Yeah, yeah, totally Bologna are growing early on They look good against Milan as well They look good against Milan as I was going to say Just a testimony of how dominant Milan were in that game

And how they were actually playing a pretty good team They gave you a really hard time over here And I think Allegri was even out coached by Mota For the majority of the game Bro, Mota is one hell of a coach He is one hell of a coach Mota is one hell of a tactician One hell of an innovator One hell of a man manager One hell of an in-game manager Mota is going to be great He's already fantastic Mota is going to be a great manager in the future Yes, yes, I see that happening

Indoie looks very solid I'm a big fan of Indoie Because of European Final College we'll pick him up Indoie, right? Or Indoi? Whatever Indoi Indoi, whatever anyone wants to call him Was doing a fantastic job At stretching that back three of you Sandro Bremer, Danilo are quite compact Right? Okay, Danilo are naturally right back Sandro are naturally left back So they are capable of bombing down the flanks If needed or going wide if needed But when they're defending they're very compact Right?

And Indoi was creating so much space for his teammates By dropping super wide Dragging Danilo with him And creating an area of space That either Xerxes or Ferguson was fitting into Typically it was Xerxes And he was getting the first touch at the first post And Ferguson would come in behind Or Solini would come in from behind But Indoi, through his movement Created so much trouble for you And same can be said about Xerxes Totally stretching the line This was a playbook on how to beat Juventus

Because Bologna stretched him to oblivion And they couldn't do anything Plus I feel Xerxes was exposed again this game I think so The first goal you could watch him You could see him taking out his own teammate Bremer It's about Bremer So the opposition Bremer, I don't always watch Juve I watch most games But sometimes Juve just so happens With the ones that I miss watching But whenever I watch Bremer I'm always impressed by him He's so good Same can be said about Danilo on the big fan

Yeah, exactly Well, last season and this season Because we have seen Danilo have some tough times in the past I think he's been a real leader at Juventus I think so, he found his place Duizan Vlove, which in the first half Had 13 touches Fewer than both goalkeepers 15 and 17 But goes to show how It's a result of a lack of service Because you give Vlove the ball He's an excellent finisher Probably world class How many touches does Haaland get for City?

Yeah, that's it He still scores Same thing, man Well, not the same thing Because he's not scoring five goals a fucking game But the system is different Vlove, which on City I wonder how many he'll score Yeah, and Vlove Do not get it twisted He's in a system that doesn't favor him But he is top two Best strikers in the league Definitely Without debate Lokatelli was underwhelming And Kies, I had no shots So again, are the men of you Really being utilized?

Well, probably not Well, in this game against Bologna Obviously second game So we still need to see In this game against Bologna Bologna is such an organized side That it is tough to perform well against them And I think you've simply felt victim to that I think some of the top teams Would start against Bologna For sure So yes, that's it You've as well have begun Let's see if they can overcome them And Mouel Bologna look to be growing Into the season very early on

Yeah, you said that that was a bit of an upset Hellas Verona 2 Roma 1 Biggest upset in my opinion Of this match day Hellas were coming off a 1-0 away win At Empoli While Soma are coming off a 2-2 home draw To Salernetana Where Candrava turned into Baggio Hellas Verona have lost 33 Of their 64 Serie A matches against Roma Where they won 11 and drew 20 11 Only against Inter 39 and Juventus 36 have they suffered more defeats In the competition Jose Mourinho was still sitting out A touchline ban

Because he literally did everything Illegal and said everything illegal Was to do say and whatever They said he let a joint on the first line He started dripping lines of cocaine Like on the bench Swearing, you know I mean he attacked the referee I'd rather have someone do a bump like that Than attack the referee Then you just have the goat Then you just have the goat Exactly, with massive bags But Mourinho had the balla And Lorenzo Pellegrini back from suspension

After the 2-2 draw with Salernetana Renato Sanchez joined Taniye Abraham And Marash Kumbulla on the treatment table Shocking Hellas had Davide Farani and Isak Hien Available off their bands But Lassovic, Henri, Hrustic and Braf Were still injured When it comes to the lineups It was a 3-4-1 formation for Hellas Verona With Montepo and Gouland A backline of Davidevic Hien and Maniani They had D'Oleg out on the left And Terraccia out on the right With Doudan Hongla forming the double pivot

Follorounso and Engong played behind The massive Evangiric For Roma it was a 3-5-2 formation With Rui Patricio on goal And the backline of Mancini, Smolling and Laurenti Christensen was on the right And Zalewski on the left With a midfield tree of Christante, Paredes and Pellegrini Bellotti and the balla started up front together In the 4th minute Well, it only took 4 minutes for Verona to open the scoring Douda, the man whose name means Small Willy and Maltese finished into an empty net

After Patricio spilled a long range Terracciano strike And Douda only had an open net left to beat Juanil to Verona Christante hit the post shortly after With a header at the near post Following Pellegrini corner Christante super super involved For Roma constantly In the 15th minute Pellegrini showed great technique To skip us three players with superb, superb technique Before striking the ball just wide As he was clean through on goal He will be disappointed with the outcome of that

In the 48th minute In additional time of the first half In Gung double Verona's lead Douda launched a brilliant long ball On the counter attack Two in Gung Who used a space well to take the ball Into the opposition area Made quick work of smalling And finished into the far corner Making it 2-0 In the 54th there was a brilliant and brave save By Montepo following a Mancini header As a goalkeeper dove into the feet of Bellotti To deny the Italian In the 56th minute Aouar got one back for Roma

Bellotti and Montepo clattered into each other But Bellotti managed to get there before the goalkeeper Heading into the part of Aouar Who headed into the empty net His first goal for Roma In the 84th minute Hien was sent off as he denied Bellotti A clear goal scoring opportunity After pulling the striker down to the ground From the resulting free kick Pellegrini hit the post in spectacular Spectacular fashion Another disappointing result here for Roma In the first game

We saw them blow a lead to Salernitana In coming 2-2 This time similar So in the last game against Salernitana They had 60% ball possession And they only managed to get away with a point In this game they had 71% ball possession And they didn't manage to win the game They didn't even get a single point What do you make of Roma so far?

So Roma have always been Uncomfortable when you let them have the ball And this was a great example of that Because Verona barely had the ball Verona barely attacked But when they did they blew them off They were super opportunistic And this is devastating And I think that's the case right now You have this Roma team over here Who are lacking confidence I believe Debala went off injured Yes actually Sorry I forgot to mention Debala did go off injured I'm not sure how serious that is either

They're evaluating him for the Milan game Apparently nothing serious I mean Roma already Their injury list is already growing From early on in the season And we've seen them seasons on In the past they've always had that issue And Morinio has recently come out to say That if Renato Sanchez had been doing well In his career he would be starting at PSUG And if Debala hadn't had any problems Then he would be elsewhere Basically saying that Roma has become a team

That is forced to rehabilitate players Who have lost their way And there's a direct quote here Is it a surprise that Renato can't play tomorrow?

No, it's no surprise Given how things have gone for him over the last two seasons If Renato had been playing to a high standard And had been injury free Then he would be a nail on starter at PSG And he would never have ended up on loan at Roma It's the same as the Debala situation last season So many clubs had their doubts over his fitness And that's how we managed to sign him This is our reality I mean classic Morinio in the sense that He's saying the truth Is it just better not to say this

Because maybe you're putting down The players that are representing you Putting down the players that are working hard for you No, I agree It's just Extra drama and that it has to do with Now he understands the situation He understands that the Freedkins are there To solve a financial catastrophe That's been left over from previous owners And they're doing it well Only a week ago that They didn't respect guys of the street To replace Matisse They brought Renato Sanchez and Paredes

Who are well known names He was praising them And now all of a sudden they're a team full of Incompetent players who need to be rehabilitated I don't know what more the Freedkins can do Freedkin himself piloted the flight That Lukaku was on No, they did That's insane The most tracked flight in history To see where Lukaku is That's hilarious Drama had 71% ball possession As I mentioned earlier But they did miss a bunch of chances Which is quite reminiscent of their season Last season

However, this season they also look Vulnerable at the back Whereas last season they didn't at all And I do think that the factor is Firstly, Rui Patricio Not a great goalkeeper I'm sorry, he's a bit older now And he's not great He was shit last season Spilled the shot in this goal In the first goal And Smolling might be showing his age a little bit Last weekend he got fucked by Kandreva On the first goal As he ran at pace Kandreva, he describes it as Kandreva ran at pace to the Englishman

Can you imagine Kandreva running at pace He's older than Smolling At 36 years old Smolling is 33 Then in this match he got fucked again This time by Cyril and Gonj One on one Which are right And Gonj is way quicker than Smolling But there was When he dribbled passing They were facing each other And with one simple movement Smolling hit the deck He was on the ground He was so confused by Cyril and Gonj So bad start by them Very bad start And I do think the defensive part does

Calm down to Smolling and Drew Patrice So for the time being would you agree with that?

Yes, they need to shake off the rust Yeah, the ring rust Also last season Roma hit the woodwork Over 30 times And the previous season So a similar trend It was around the same amount Last week they hit the post once And this weekend they hit the post twice So they are on course to hitting the highs That they did in the past few seasons When it comes to Hellas Verona They are looking much more like a team this season They are defending as a unit And attacking well on the break

Like we said yesterday Like we said in the last episode Very selective when it comes to When they counterattack And when they just sit back and say Okay, now we have the ball Kind of thing And even like that ball by Drew That to Cyril and Gonj Showed that perfectly It's like we're not going to launch the ball very often But in this case I'm launching the ball down the wing That was the right decision Yeah, definitely Is that it?

Yep, that's pretty much it Let me move on to the other side of Rome I swear to God no one smiled in Rome this weekend No, no one smiled in Rome And guys I have just heard back some of the podcasts And I can't confirm that you are here in Garidog Wining Apologies for that I don't think he has long left It'll be a problem of the post in no time Not only because of bullies inevitable demise But because we have the studio ready Yes, yes, pretty much It's got paint And then AC And then AC and tiles

But yes, we should start recording there We'll do it from next episode But anyway, yes, Lazio nil Genoa 1 Lazio had won 6 of their previous 7 home matches Against Genoa and say Oh, with one loss in this period They scored an average of 3 goals per game So Genoa came into this game With very little hope of beating Lazio This is the second time Lazio lost Their first two league games of the season The first was in 2018-19 When they lost against Napoli and Juve So it was more excusable back then

Now, you know, there's no real excuse for it My God, man, 0 points for Lazio On the first two games Terrible, terrible, terrible 4-3-3 for Mauricio Sarri as always Providell was in goal with Mauricio As the left back on Lazari As the right back, Romanio Leantrasale Were in the centre back partnership Luis Alberto, Cataldi and Camada Were in the middle with Zacani out on the left Anderson out on the right And the Mubile up front For Gilardino's men It was a 4-3-2-1 formation With Martinez in goal

Sabelli on the right And Vazquez on the left With Dragosin and Bani as the centre back Duo, Frenjrup, Badel and Strutman Were in the middle with Malinovsky And Goodman simply behind Retegui In the 16th minute, Genoa were rewarded For their early ventures forward When a quick attacking move Allowed Retegui to latch on to a loose ball Following a Providell save The Argentine-Italian striker Easily headed the ball Into the back of the Lazio net Putting their wayside one-lop Excuse me

Lazio got better But couldn't quite penetrate Genoa as they held firm In the 65th minute, the Mubile struck the crossbar And by the end of the game Lazio had 16 shots in an exigy of 1.45 Yet they didn't manage a single point Out of this match They were almost awarded a penalty At the end, but Vard ruled it out And that was basically the game In Anath-Shel as Genoa Played some beautiful Haram ball over here Haram ball, yes Why Haram ball?

It's a Katanaccio, no kind of It's not what they're called in English Right, Haram ball What?

It's Haram, bro Yes, I must say That I am extremely impressed With Albert Goodminton Albert looks great Albert looks very good He's so good, bro He's so technical and so smart He picked up Hemant Balinovsky All the Genoa boys Yes, fuck it And they've also got Junior Messias over there So it's gonna get good for Genoa Definitely get better I believe Tangai in Dombela has also been linked to Genoa I think he's going Well, they've got a day to do it So they better get cracking

Oh my Jesus, what a goal Fnets scored the stunning 3k Who's that, bro? And our typical star, right?

We're good The American, Tezman If you guys watched Ronaldo's free kick In the Champions League for United against Arsenal Where United were wearing that blue kit Too far for another to think about And it was Almonia and Gold Same thing, bro So back to the lots again First of all, lots you have sent Akpak, Proto Monza Great signing for Monza Great signing And they've brought in Guendouzi from Marseille Now I might argue that they should have kept Akpak, Proto Monza

Because Akpak, Proto Monza had a fantastic season last year But I don't know, I haven't seen much of Guendouzi Guendouzi is good He's quite physical, he's tough And he's a good passer of the ball He could do well But I'm not sure Because Akpak, Proto Monza looked like Patrick Vieira last season It was so good Sorry, I had this to say after him Empoli had the opportunity to keep him And they didn't, man Oh my God Akpak, bro So, sorry, he said two completely different matches

While referring of course to the opening two games of the season The one in Lecce was a game of apathy This evening we approached it badly because of repercussions that the previous game left us In the end we played a good match, we didn't give up We lacked a bit of focus and a bit of quality We never allowed Genoa to counter And in some respects it's a huge step forward compared to Lecce Now we have to find the quality of our quality players Yes, okay, it's true they were set up better

And it's true their Genoa didn't really counter But they didn't really make anything tick They couldn't take their chances This game, Lazio, at all Here I was thinking that Lazio were at that stage Because they got so much better last season than they were in the previous seasons Coming second in the league That they won't look at a loss against Genoa as a step up in their performances But he needs to be objective And he needs to say we lost against a newly promoted side

And we lost the first game of the season as well So why is there might be truth to what he's saying?

It just shows a bit what the mentality of the club is Or what the mentality of Sarri is rather And Sarri also said that in the 79th minute When he brought in Castellanios for Cantaldi It was because he saw many balls flying in But it actually caused a lot of confusion having two target men in And they completely lost any form of cohesion they had And I probably stopped them from getting into the game because a game like this Would take a goal in between the 80th and the 90th minute

You often see an equaliser at that time And they just couldn't do it because they couldn't get everything to tick Still early days They're getting used to playing without their everything Exactly And it is detrimental I'm not saying that their entire season is going to be compromised because of that Albeit it probably will be, but they could still hit highs It's still early on in the season Yes, they are going to be in a slump about these opening two losses It's terrible losing your first two

After that long wait to get back to football They get back and they give us two shit performances Like they did, it's disappointing and the players will feel it most The club will feel it most So they are going to be down about it But we'll see what their reaction is going to be Coming into this game, Kamadah had only had 11 days of training It's still very early days, right?

In the first 15 minutes, Lodzah gave away the ball 15 times By God Yes, it wasn't a good game by them at all And Jainuwa looked to really show off for the first time after getting absolutely thumped by Fjörntina And they did demonstrate what they can do Rethegui scoring his first and saying Yes sir, the next game we're going to be covering is Fresenone 2, Atalanta 1, yet another upset Fresenone coming off a 3-1 loss to Napoli at home After they started very well in that game

Atalanta coming off a 2-0 away victory against Osvalo Before we get into this, I have to point out that Fresenone have just signed a 2002 talent from Real Madrid Reiner Hezus, who is an attacking midfielder Unfortunately, that's all I can tell you about him Because I don't know anything else about him In two home games against Atalanta in Serie A Fresenone have earned just a single point courtesy of a nil-nil draw in January 2016

After that, Fresenone lost their other home match against the Bergamaski 5 nil at home in January 2019 Among the teams Atalanta faced more than twice in Serie A Fresenone are the only side that have never scored Against Atalanta in four matches 11 goals by the Dea and 0 by the Ciocchiocari Or the Ciacciari, whatever that is La Dea were still missing the injured El Bilal Ture, Hans Hattaber and José Luis Palomino On the other hand, Fresenone lost goalkeeper Stefano Turati to suspension

After he was caught on camera using a blasphemous phrase Which in the Italian language is the worst kind of swearing No, no, no articles, same man They threw Cedira and Barinaccia straight into the starting 11 After loans from Napoli and Juventus, respectively Now when it comes to the starting lineups For Fresenone it was a 4-2-3-1 formation With Cera Follini in goal and a backline of Marquizza, Romagnoli, Monterisi and Oiono A double pivot of Barincia and Mazzatelli with Baez out on the left

Gelli out on the right and Harui playing behind Cedira For Atalanta it was a 3-4-1-2 formation with Juan Mussongo on the backline of Scalvi in the Gym City and Colacinac Zappa Costa was out on the right while Sririgeri was out on the left with Dejón and Edison forming double pivot, Cope Miners just ahead of them with Lukman and Zappa Ata up front Once again Fresenone started very quickly and it was the same guy that started quickly against Napoli That started quickly against Atalanta, Harui

Marquizza did extremely well to this process, Lukman well inside Atalanta's half thanks to the high press Now Harui collected the ball, advanced into the area and slotted into the bottom corner very well Harui is looking like a very big asset for the side He is stepping up, taking on the responsibility to carry this team as one of the players with experience Yeah and I do think that Marquizza did an extremely great job to this process, Lukman over there

The high press was real by Fresenone, they're not here to fuck around man In the 24th minute Fresenone made it to Monterese scored following a corner, Romagnoli rose highest and knocked the ball into the air and it fell to Monterese who flicked the ball in with the outside of his boot It was absolutely shambolic defending by Atalanta who didn't manage to get to the ball first twice in this action

Zappa Costa looked destined to score in the 29th minute as the ball bounced perfectly in front of him inside the area right in front of the goalkeeper who was begging for a miracle at that point but as the Italians struck the ball with serious venom Monterese, the scorer of the second goal produced a fantastic block extending himself perfectly and bravely into harm's way

In the 56th minute however Atalanta did manage to get one back as Zappa Costa received the ball inside the area with his back towards goal and oh my god I said Zappa Costa, apologies Zappa Atta in the 56th minute received the ball inside the area with his back towards goal and quickly turned past Monterese and firing it in past Cioro Follini with great power, what a goal by Zappa Atta rolling back the airs

In the 68th minute a slick passage of play by Atalanta found Scalvini right in front of the keeper but Cioro Follini did extremely well to deny the Italian centre back dropping down well frozen on a held unwell putting their bodies on the line and denying Atalanta's firepower in Scamaca, Decay, Telaure, Cope, Miners and Co Now when it comes to the talking points bro, just like their season over against Napoli

frozen on looked fast, fluid and organised for the team that they are and they're not scared of taking the game to their opponents they also play with a super high press at the start of matches and try to defend a lead rather than letting their opponents growing into the game as they find their own feet It's such a brave move by frozen on and by Osebio de Francesco man and we were saying that de Francesco would be the first manager's act

but we're looking at some high profile teams so I've yet to record a victory and frozen on here on one win against Atalanta and one loss against Napoli in which they scored the opening goal man Yes they're playing like the champions of Seiba right? They're playing like a team that has won a league last season and that's what they are at the end of the day these guys would be used to winning week in week out

so I guess that would mold someone into a person who hates losing right? A sore loser perhaps so yeah maybe they're giving it their all and they're making some smart signings and Berencea from Juventus in the middle is a very nice little buy the two Saswolo boys they brought in and Harlu and Marquitsa having a great time Romanioli is an experienced defender at the back over there Kedira they've brought in playing up front he was playing for Bari another experienced striker

they've got a good frozen on and they're playing very well and they've just slayed a giant I do think that out of the newly promoted sides out of the opening two games I do think that they look the most dangerous they look the most capable most fluid yeah they're fast they're opportunistic you see over here they scored one because of the high press in them dispossessing look man in a dangerous area and the second through a corner not only did the corner the player that received the corner

Romanioli not make significant contact with it but it managed to fall to another player who managed to get the goal over there so really opportunistic stuff by by frozen on or doing whatever it takes to get a goal and they look super super organized when defending okay they park the bus significantly they throw all the men back but they keep their shape they shift they press when they need to press and they hang back when they need to hang back they look experienced man

the man of the match Monterey is only 21 years old he played like a veteran fucking hell Monterey is 21 how I just assumed he was 32 from the way he played he was with Letcher which explains why he's so solid defensively yeah and he got such an important goal he was a hero of this game Monterey when I went to drink with her one of my favorite players was one of my favorite places was Monterosso beautiful little village

but Monterey is looking like he's going to be a promising defender with the way that he played man that block in particular very good game by him there's a very big loss for Atalanta bro they got zero points and one of the easier inverted commas fixtures that they played so early on in the season they will be kicking themselves when it comes down to the last match there and they're in dire need for three points

of course yes and they'll be looking back saying how the hell didn't we get that done over there especially if they go on a run towards the end of the season they're like how the hell didn't we win that and they'll probably be looking at Duvan Zapata who's no longer there and saying that's why we didn't win that lady it was a problem well he's the guy that got the goal over there not Zapacos I made that mistake earlier

what do you think of Scamaca so far he hasn't been featuring from the first bell which was expected to be honest because Gasperini has this weird rotation system he loves I think he should be on two assists already personally he played in the first game he played Decay Talare through he had the crossbar and in this game I forgot who it was but he laid the ball to someone perfectly and he missed it Scalvini that was a beautiful passage of play man

so Scamaca definitely looks selfless he looks ready he looks like he's in good shape as well he'll get firing man he'll be a protagonist for them I think so as well but that's all from this match I'm excited to see more of Rossinone this season there are a bit of a dark horse out in there man as in not to fucking... for survival for survival we both I believe I had them in last and so did you yeah I had them in last little did I know that they're so illetty

because they removed Grosso and we thought they were all Grosso and that everything was Grosso but clearly there's continuity in the starting 11 and clearly Di Francesco has found a team that he could work with and they brought in a manager with an interesting style as well an offensive style and also Di Francesco so I guess you might not be too different to Brosso exactly but yes the next game we're going to be covering is Fiorentina two Lecce two Lecce attempted 33 dribbles on match day one

of which 17 were successful both records and say other season in particular Pontus Almicast completed 7th record for a Lecce player in a top flight match since 2012 against Siena and guess who the players were against Siena to complete so many dribbles for who for atalanta for Lecce one completed 8 the other completed 10 that have no idea Juan Cuadrado and Luis Muriel oh my god bro I love this shit I love this shit so it's Alme, Pontus Almicvist

Pontus Almicvist not to be confused with Marcus Aurelius because he's so ex from back in the day but yes for Fiorentina it was their 4-3-1 formation with Christensen in goal Parisi as the left back and Odo as the right back Milenkovic and Martinez-Quarta as the centre back duo Duncan and Arthur were in the double pivot with Sotil on the left and Nico Gonzales on the right Bonaventura was playing as the 3rd courtista with Bedetron getting the nod up front this time

of course there are Gianni in sight and goal he was starting for Verón on the right two different players guys for Lecce it was their 4-3-3 formation with Falcone in goal Jean-Jerze right back Gallo as the left back Pongracec and Basquerotto as the centre back partnership with Raffia, Ramadani and Gonzales in the middle Almicvist on the right, Banda on the left and Streffetza up front it is interesting to note that Lecce have just brought in Piccoli

and they will probably be featuring up front and they've also confirmed Udan who was with them last season and he'll be joining them again this season yeah Udan was slick last season for them so in the 3rd minute Fiorentina got off to a flying start that's where the fucking flying start Duncan swung in a corner and Nico Gonzales headed it in he's not the tallest but he's so dangerous in the air Ramadani was marking him and he seemed like he was trying to win a foul

but there wasn't anything in it Nico Gonzales scores yet another header and the 25th minute Beltran the clever striker the clever new boy from River Plate playing up front for Fiorentina played R3 through who crossed it into Duncan who headed it home in a pure slam dunk manner yep yep proper dunk you know if there's a dunk in football that's it in the 41st minute Nico flicked Duncan through but the gun in was denied by the post Duncan got off about two goals in the first half basically

and it was all Fiorentina the first half and to be honest everyone thought that they were gonna win it yeah especially considering their opening performance against Gen or actually people thought they were gonna blow them out of the water but as we all know let's shed do not concede more than two goals in the 49th minute Raffia nicked the ball of Beltran and it fell to Banda the 5 foot 2 zombie and held the ball up before Raffia came out of nowhere and curled him to the top corner

dispossessing his own teammate essentially Banda had the ball and Raffia just kicked it out of his feet and squirted top corner it worked and Banda still gets the assist so all the way in the 76 minutes minutes after his making his debut Nicola Kristovic heads in a deadly Banda cross perfectly between Martinez, Quarta and Parisi to get the equalizer what a goal what a debut for Kristovic and lecture just they're back in it like that yeah

in this closing minutes of the game Kwame got close to giving Fiorina the lead it was an added time but he failed to connect to Brecala's cross properly and the game ended 2-2 oh what a result for Lecce they're relentless they're relentless once again absolutely relentless actually I think in my prediction I had Lecce lost and Frosinone won before the last ah yes you did you did not remember

they are incredible they do not die and they never give up and they'll continue fighting until the very end until they get something out of the game Fiorina perhaps they took their foot off the gas and this one and I'm sure they weren't expecting Duncan Smith to come back to haunt him yeah Roberto da Versa the new manager of Lecce actually seems like he's doing quite a good job as well it's been a very good debut for a lot of the new new coming managers

and say yeah which is good to see considering a lot of them have had negative spells in the past and have been sacked like Di Francesco has been sacked from multiple teams like Roma and Udinese I believe sorry not Udinese, Helas Verona whilst da Versa was sacked by Sampdoria last season yes yes yes Fiorina do have potential of course they're a great team I like doing Duncan and Arthur are playing they're really ticking in the middle over there and with Amrabat

the whole deal with Amrabat seems to be falling through with you he's getting frustrated with them did you hear the latest offer?

Napoli it was a two million no United offered a two million loan for Amrabat but the two million will be paid in separate one million installments what is this man me trying to buy my place like oh the payment terms I was pulling out of my ass like Amrabat might be a Milan player he might be an Napoli player tomorrow who knows I didn't you guys mentioned the possibility of him joining Milan but I was seeing Napoli everywhere I wasn't seeing Napoli

Italiano explained the difference between Beltran and Insola saying that Beltran is good in tight spaces and he moves well and he's very intelligent while Insola is bigger and faster than most people is he settling, calling Insola an idiot? maybe not I'm kidding but so they are very different players and both very useful and both situational and a tactician like Italiano would be extremely happy to have the option of deploying both these men because it's depending on the matchup right?

you can go for the player who will play the midfielders and wingers through or you can go for the target man who is amazing on the counter and who is powerful and can blast through opponents Fiorentina have one hell of a squad man even this that you just said the option of having Beltran and Insola up front along with of course Jovic as well three fantastic options for them up front particularly Beltran and Insola even the fact that they have Mandragora in the midfield

they have Kwame, they have Brecalo as well that they can bring on here we saw Parisi starting ahead of Beraghi as well they have Yerimina on the bench they just have such a good squad Fiorentina and if Italiano manages to expose their qualities and if he manages to get players to play to their strengths and contribute to his system through their strengths then they are going to be a seriously formidable side now this is Rich coming from me after they just threw away a lead to Lecce

but the season is long and they have shown us serious quality Fiorentina and the opening match and even in this one that quick start the fact that Nico Gonzalez has really hit the ground running this season when we see that he is on, he is a fantastic player, one of the best right wingers in the league and I do think there is a bright season ahead for Fiorentina they clearly have no problem scoring goals man yeah that is totally true, a bit of work to do defensively

for Lecce I need to praise Banda who last season was playing second fiddle most games really picked up towards the end of the season and this season has really embraced the role of the protagonist of this team no one on this team is as skillful and as explosive as the 5 foot 2 Zambian man absolutely, he plays with so much flair and if he is having enough then they bring on the son of Eusebio de Francesco de Francesco as well Gallo had a decent game over here

they could also bring on Dorgo if he is not having an incredible game and even bringing on the likes of Blin Lecce don't have a terrible squad if you were to compare them to for example the team Odiners that have been fielding there is not much difference in quality man it's true and they have lost so many players like if you look at the players they have lost Hulman Sisse, Cassandro Colombo Bjorkengrin, Romanioli, Persson, Lucioni, Montereyzi, Rodriguez, Blev, Lemons, Mali

and wait no, de Francesco has a friend and they have brought in so many players man they have brought in Alun Grifis, Odin they have brought in like they have lost Omtiti but they have brought in Pongracic Raffia came in, Smilovic Vikkoli now as well these are all good signings with a minimal budget and maybe to everyone's surprise Lecce survived the season the season is long, season is very very long our opinion can change but from the first two games Lecce have looked solid

the same way they looked solid at the start of last season as well let's move on to the next game ok the next game we are going to be covering and the penultimate game we are going to be covering is Monza's 2-0 victory over Empoli Monza coming off a 2-0 loss against Inter in the season opener while Sempoly were coming off a 1-0 home loss to Helas Verona Monza and Empoli have actually only met twice previously in Serie A and it was both last season

a home win for each side, won the Lat Empoli and 2-1 in Monza Daniel Maldini was still out with injury and joined goalkeeper Elia Caprile with a badly sprained ankle the hosts welcome La Armando Itzo on his return from suspension when it comes to the starting 11 for Monza it was a 3-4-1 formation with DiGregorio and Goul and a backline of Calderola, Mari and Itzo they had Churia out on the left this time and Birindelli out on the right

Galliardini and Pesina in the double pivot with Caprari and Colpani playing behind Mota for Empoli it was Perisane in goal and a backline of Ebuehi, Ismaili, Luperto and Cacace they had Haas and Marin in the midfield with Cainci Leri out on the right Jasi out on the left and Baldanzi playing behind Ciccio Caputo Galliardini struck the woodwork in the 19th minute with a powerful shot from some serious, serious distance this was around 25-30 yards out and was an absolute bullet

good to see that in addition to him being a very tidy midfielder that he also has that in his locker in the 25th minute Calderola and Churia linked up brilliantly down the left flank leading to Churia squaring the ball into the box but Colpani's shot was cleared off the line by Luperto however Colpani did manage to get a goal on the stroke of half time in the 45th minute as Churia found Colpani just outside the box, Colpani effortlessly skipped past Jasi

before firing the ball into the top-near corner with a left-footed thunderbolt what a goal, that was our goal of the week, very tidy stuff there by Colpani Empoli almost got a goal back at the start of the second half after a defensive clusterfuck by Monza let the Caputo having an open goal but Birendaily blocked the strike very very well in the 48th minute Marin struck the woodwork from at least 35 yards out this time

De Gregorio did get a touch with, this was one of those Marin shots that he takes on sometimes he took one of them actually one, the exact same shot in the cross-bord literally that's 2-4-2 for him in the 53rd minute and then Colpani got his second goal for Monza and for himself it looked like Peruzza on the night called Pani's header but the keeper's arm was not quite strong enough as the ball slowly made its way over the line

so Monza took away all three points their first victory of the season while Sempoli still have yet to get off the mark they're off to a dreadful start, maybe my earlier prediction wasn't too far-fetched what is it that is making Empoli struggle?

okay this game was against Monza, the season opener was against Verona that now have two victories in a row so technically they're not the easiest games but you have to put up a fight against teams that are within your realm and I feel like they really haven't been doing that and they've clearly been second best in both games I feel like Monza are level above when it comes to organization definitely

I think that in Empoli's system the wingers are very important and they have two new wingers who are still settling in the country Lerian, Jossi they didn't even play with wingers last season so that's a big change for them it really is and I don't know they don't seem to be ticking as well at all Caputo seems isolated and he's past it as well let's be real Caputo he's still a capable gold scorer but I don't think he can be your reference point though anymore

I think he's past it and I think he needs competition up front it's just a shame that they've just let go of Piccoli to bring in Mali, granted Mali his technique can definitely help them in the middle yeah I think there's strong points to this side but there are also very weak points Baldanzi is obviously a great player, Marin is a great player, Abueh is a great player, Ismaili and Luperto aren't bad, Kakaccia is okay, Haas is okay

Contralleri can work, he just needs more time, he's clearly a talented young guy he's there to get minutes and as he gets more minutes the better he's gonna become and his qualities are gonna be showcased he's explosive but the more I watch him the less I like him I like his pace and size for a winger, I like his size a lot I'm not sure about his decision making and having him, yeah but that's why he needs minutes but sometimes minutes can't improve your footballing brain

maybe he just needs to get used to his teammates, three clubs in three years for him, it's not easy yeah that's true, he needs to settle a bit, he needs some continuity I think that's why I like him and Baldanzi could actually be quite terrifying together in the future however like you said Caputo a little bit past it and Giaci on the left to be honest, maybe I'm being daft but what do you see in him kind of thing

like why bring him on as your winger, you're better off either loaning in a young talent from Juventus, Mila and Lazio or someone like that rather than doing that I mean maybe they were predicting that they might be in a relegation fight because the teams around them have really improved at the bottom part of the table Giozzi is a leader, he was the captain of Spezia as we mentioned in the last episode

and I guess that was the appeal, you're bringing in a seasoned captain and leader of a team that survived three seasons in a row against the other yeah, fair enough, fair enough you make him sound good Four months out was a clean win for them, at this point in the season for months, yes it's important to get three points but it's very important as well to have a player like Colpani showcase what he's capable of and having such a great game

Yes, nice to see that he's also stepped up Colpani, he had a good season last season and this game he just showed us another level, a new level, I didn't think he was this good but fuck me he was good this game I like that front three a lot, Caprari, Colpani, Mota, a lot of pace over there as well, a lot of trickery, a lot of technique, also important to note Pettania is out of the squad as he has joined Calieri

so that gives Mota the opportunity to really show us what he's made of, but that's enough for this fixture Moving on to the Monday 6.30 madness was Salernetana won Udineza won, Salernetana are on beaten and four of their last five matches against Udineza since their return in Serie A in 2001 Udineza have scored in each of their eight away matches played between Serie A and Serie B against Salernetana so there was your bet

Lorenzo Lucca was starting this game, fun fact I was so hyped to watch him, I'm very excited for this guy So Salernetana lined up with a 3-4-2-1 formation for Souza's men, it was Ochoa in goal with Pirrola, Gionber and Lovato at the back Matsuki as the left wing back and Castanoss as the right wing back, Kullibalyen Bohinen were in the middle Kandreva and Bottheim were playing behind Dia who started this game and looks to be staying, and that's massive for Salernetana

I officially retract my statement that they will be in the bottom three because with Dia up front and Kandreva behind him you cannot finish the top three Silvestri was in goal for Udineza as Sotel deployed his 3-5-2, Perez, Bijal and Cabacele were at the back with Ferreira on the right, Kamar on the left Love Rich, Wallace and Samardzic were in the middle with Lorenzo Lucca and Thuvan up front That's the two weeks in a row you've been playing for

I've been like this for like a month, I don't know what's going on with me, I must have COVID In the 57th minute we saw the first goal as Lorenzo Lucca headed across into the path of Lazar Samardzic who rifled the ball into the bottom corner The first half was a KG one and nothing really happened, no team really took, yes, tense KG, no team wanted to concede and it was clear But in the second half when Lorenzo Lucca, the 6 foot 7 striker, headed the ball to Samardzic and he scored

That's when the game opened up and Salerno Tana really started attacking In the 72nd minute Kandreva intelligently played the ball through to Bulaedia who finished expertly There were crazy scenes of course, Bulaedia, immediately all that Salerno was going mental The Salerno Tana fans were amazing this game, Udineza had I believe 70 fans, I'm not even joking I'm excited, you had 70 fans in the away sector, that means Salerno Tana had 19,930 fans

Yeah that makes sense, Salerno was crazy for Salerno Tana Yes, I was particularly impressed with Salerno Tana's new boys, so they have actually brought in more players than just the infamous Stuart They have brought in a guy called Ikouemazi who displayed great technique this game when rounding the goalkeeper at one point I thought the goalkeeper came out and cleared the ball to Silvestri but it turns out it was at Ikouemazi's feet the entire time

Cabral was brought in from Sporting, you might recognize him from his time at Lazio, remember?

And Martek Johnny had a fantastic curling effort saved by Silvestri Zomit Fielder and he played an incredible game I'm just going to say Cabral not to be confused with Fiorentina's time Who is having a great time at Benfica I believe I believe so With DiMario as there as well Yeah this was a great game to close the week, well the intergame closed the week but this was an even better game in my opinion to watch

It was so much fun to watch, yeah entertaining and it was a well earned draw by both teams I don't think any team particularly deserved to win it Ochoa had a fantastic save at one point, the commentator kept describing Ochoa as a flamboyant goalkeeper Yeah I mean it makes perfect sense and he said that he makes every save look better than it actually is No 100% Which is true he's very shunned but great keeper and on the lesson he had a fantastic game this game Yeah I agree, I agree

So that concludes our analysis of match day 2 We want to call it that We want to call it that, we can move on to our question segment Welcome to our question segment which is open for all but our patrons always get priority So if you want priority in the question segment it's 3.99 a month baby So our first question comes from Matthias Kressel who says strange of Empoli to loan out Henderson to Palermo When they need more physicality in the midfield they apparently declined to bring back Akpak

What do you think? I think so, I think they had such good balance to the midfield last season with Akpak pro on Especially in that positive run that they had just before the World Cup He was significantly important in breaking down play for them and now they're clearly lacking that in their side I mean is Haas supposed to be that guy?

Because I think as much as him being a physical player I don't think he can dispossess players the same way Akpak pro does Or the same way that Henderson does for that matter So yes a strange call and I do think it's going to bite them in the ass a little bit Yes definitely weird but Henderson, Akpak pro we have the option to redeem him after the season he had And Henderson has been very good for them so it's probably a massive factor in why they're struggling

Poor decisions in the market I think so The next question comes from RK on Instagram and it's more of a statement He says you still need to sack Allegri and bring in a coach with a winning mentality like Kante Replace Danilo and Alexandra as they are evidently not even close to being solid centre backs They are bloody left and right backs, this team will not function other in a 4-3-3 or a 3-4-3 formation I think Danilo is a great centre back

Alexandra yes you're right completely, Danilo is a leader though you can't really hate Danilo But I can't fault Danilo's performance as a right centre back for them despite the fact that he's a natural right back Allegri, I think they wanted to remove him but it was too expensive as an operation so they just have to keep him They're forced to keep him without European football I don't think they have an option in that sense, the financial turmoil and the ban that they have from European football

is going to cost them a lot financially, we all know what they went through during Covid with the Ronaldo purchase as well, they struggled for a few years So I think look Allegri is going to get them top 4 So I think ride the wave until Allegri runs his contract out and then you're absolutely right They should look for a manager with a proper winning mentality and a more offensive manager because they have the players for that

Then you bring in Italiano or Motta or maybe Don't Brof, I can keep those managers away from you then So the next question comes from Simon Holish who says Salah Macca is in my opinion deserves a better club than Bologna When given a chance he's going to show that he's worth a lot more than what people think It's hilarious because I agree with him but then he won't start for Bologna He deserves a place where he can express himself and get more minutes

Now does he deserve a better club than Bologna? In theory yes, is he guaranteed a starting spot at Bologna?

No, they have many good players in his position He says maybe there is Endoya and Dorsolini like sure he can't play behind the striker but he can pop him as a right wing back Nope, there is Stefan Posch one of the highest scoring fullbacks in the league last season He's going to have to prove himself and if he can't get a starting spot at Bologna then maybe that's his level Now is his time to prove himself as a protagonist for a mid-table team with ambitions for that seventh spot perhaps

In reality Salah Macca's place at Milan was because of a clear and evident hole in Milan's team Which at the time there was Sousa and Castigliano And then when Sousa left and Castigliano needed someone to compete with because there's no way to start with Castigliano as AC Milan They brought on Salah Macca's and then Salah Macca's turned out to be a better player than Samu And then Messias ended up being Salah Macca's vice

So he was there essentially because of a hole and because Milan just simply weren't investing in any real solid talent Of a great caliber in the right wing position So technically if there's a bigger team with a hole in the right wing position Surely Salah Macca's would be a good fit for them because he's a good player But he is inconsistent and you would always want someone a bit better as a top seven team for example in Italy

Salah Macca's needs to improve his... how am I going to put this nicely?

Let's say his discipline because there were many situations where he had the ball when Milan had an advantage And purely he was literally signalling from the touch line for him to pass Or to pass back or to not lose the ball and he'd go for a stupid dribble and lose the ball And I feel like maybe this might have been what caused the fallout Or maybe it was an attitude problem I don't know because it is strange how Milan just shipped him out Yeah I think so Salah Macca's is a medium stake

If he doesn't have any sauce then he's going to suffer but with the sauce he's fucking saucy and he's delicious And that was Matthew Oh yeah you know what I mean with his sauce sometimes he's saucy, sometimes he's not saucy He's nothing, he's saucy, he's everything He's definitely not rare So Panzavecchia, El Panz He asks, are lots of you missing SMS more than people have imagined?

Definitely, 100 billion percent It goes without saying, no explanation And I think they'll suffer for longer than people would have imagined Yeah definitely He also asks, does Lukaku make Roma top 4 favorites?

Not favorites but contenders, sure It puts them in a better position to get themselves top 4 Because even though Lukaku can be quite a liability at times He gives you a 100% success rate from the spot He gives you a target man He gives you someone that can hold play well I think they need to put up with having Lukaku on their team And I feel like if Morinio needs one particular manager In history of football managers To put him in his place, it's Morinio Because if Lukaku needs him

Lukaku needs him, it's Morinio Because this is the thing with Morinio And this thing with other managers Other managers, if a player makes a small mistake They let it slide Morinio will hold you accountable to the tiniest of details And he will publicly shame you for the tiniest of details So I think that is something that could really put Lukaku in his place And perhaps get the best out of Lukaku Maybe because of another feud Or maybe because of another feud

Max Kamilneri asked, should this be a rare season Where all newly promoted teams stay up Too early to say We should hear his next question I'm not convinced because to me, for us in Onan-Jan, I look great Kalyari look okay They look okay They haven't done anything in the opening two games that made me think They'll stay up But Geno and Frazzinone, wow man Wow, they look really good Again, as Mati said, it's too early to say But I can't remember a time when three newly promoted teams

Look at this impressive so early on So I'm definitely impressed by them And I wouldn't be surprised if they stayed up Kalyari would be the most surprising one at the moment However, I do think they'll grow into the season as well I think so as well And Kalyari are that kind of team that come January They make some experienced signings They reinforce I wonder who the bottom teams will be Like Odinesa can be relegation candidates Yeah, lots of them He also asked his next question

This is a crazy one I want your predictions on top four in order Oh my god We put this in the prediction episode I'm going to mirror that Because it's so early to make a prediction I had Yvette win the league personally So I had Yvette win the league I think I had Napoli in second, Milan in third And Atalanta in fourth Those were my predictions My predictions were Milan in first Yvette in second, Napoli in third, Inter in fourth Max is an Inter fan So he's going to be pleased

Especially with yours We'll see Definitely look like they're going to prove me wrong Inter are looking very good The season as well Three teams in particular are looking very good We look forward to watching more Seiya So we can bring you more coverage Isn't there Steve Colleroy? I believe he had one as well Did he?

I believe so The statement on Inter I believe I saw it on our DMs You're right I love you Steve So not really what they take But Inter look like they're playing at 60-70% And they're smashing it Very concerning for the rest of the league In my opinion I totally agree They didn't even have the pedal to the metal When it came to the Kaliari game for example And they totally blew them out of the water We just got a video on our TV Of Petania smiling And then a Gecko smiling That's a Salamander

Because it's Salamacus That's brilliant That's brilliant Look at this This is the official stream of Sky The tab is they had opened It's crazy bro Like fucking controlled and deleted Statement of Steve Yes, they look like they're playing at 60% But it's because they get the job done In the opening 20 minutes That's when they drop down to 60% Like in the beginning of the games They are quite ruthless And they punish their opponents For making simple mistakes

Inter are going to be a serious problem For teams this season Yeah, I definitely disagree with Jake I think that ended up top 4 Thank you very much for listening guys We have been your hosts Jake And Matt, don't forget to drop us a follow Guys on Instagram, TikTok, Twitter, YouTube Rate us 5 stars wherever you get your podcasts We'll be back next week Seria starts early this weekend Friday games at 6.30 and 8.45 Do not miss Roma against Milan at the Olympic Games
