Money is Michael Leeboff joining me for this 16 00:00:57,640 --> 00:01:00,880 Speaker 3: episode as we preview the upcoming first legs of the 17 00:01:00,920 --> 00:01:05,360 Speaker 3: Champions League semi Finals. Is BJ Cunningham. Anthony is away 18 00:01:05,400 --> 00:01:09,480 Speaker 3: this week. BJ, we got two matches to get to 19 00:01:10,560 --> 00:01:13,360 Speaker 3: no English Premier League teams in the Champions League semi final. 20 00:01:13,520 --> 00:01:16,680 Speaker 3: Bit of a shock, but should be a lot of fun. 21 00:01:16,720 --> 00:01:19,000 Speaker 3: I think it's there's plenty of ways this thin can go. 22 00:01:19,080 --> 00:01:22,120 Speaker 3: Let's start with the headliner, I would say, which is 23 00:01:22,160 --> 00:01:27,920 Speaker 3: Tuesday at three pm Eastern time. Byron Munich hosting Real Madrid. Nobody, 24 00:01:28,280 --> 00:01:29,560 Speaker 3: I mean, I don't want to say nobody gave it 25 00:01:30,000 --> 00:01:32,959 Speaker 3: Bayern Munich a chance, but I don't think anyone really 26 00:01:33,640 --> 00:01:35,600 Speaker 3: rushed to back this team with the way the season 27 00:01:35,640 --> 00:01:39,399 Speaker 3: has been going, with the way like that, everyone's been 28 00:01:39,840 --> 00:01:41,000 Speaker 3: bickering with the coach. 29 00:01:41,120 --> 00:01:43,560 Speaker 1: The coach is a lame duck Coach'd. 30 00:01:43,040 --> 00:01:45,200 Speaker 3: Be pretty funny if they reneg on that now that 31 00:01:45,800 --> 00:01:48,560 Speaker 3: if they do win the Champions League or something funny. 32 00:01:48,920 --> 00:01:49,560 Speaker 1: But here we go. 33 00:01:49,640 --> 00:01:53,480 Speaker 3: They are at home plus one forty. Real Madrid coming 34 00:01:53,560 --> 00:01:55,880 Speaker 3: in plus one seventy five on the three way line 35 00:01:56,480 --> 00:01:59,400 Speaker 3: to advance byron is a plus one fifty underdog and 36 00:02:00,200 --> 00:02:03,080 Speaker 3: minus two hundred to reach the final. 37 00:02:03,600 --> 00:02:06,360 Speaker 1: I think that this first leg sets up okay for a. 38 00:02:06,400 --> 00:02:10,280 Speaker 3: Draw, with the way Real Madrid kind of looks at 39 00:02:10,320 --> 00:02:15,480 Speaker 3: these two leg knockout stages like we saw even I 40 00:02:15,520 --> 00:02:17,240 Speaker 3: mean the City match, It's it's hard to say that 41 00:02:17,280 --> 00:02:21,239 Speaker 3: they they wanted that to happen, right to go, uh draw, draw, 42 00:02:21,280 --> 00:02:24,280 Speaker 3: but and with the way the matches went out, But 43 00:02:24,960 --> 00:02:28,359 Speaker 3: it does feel like Angelotti always takes like a big 44 00:02:28,400 --> 00:02:30,639 Speaker 3: picture approach to these. We said this before the City 45 00:02:30,760 --> 00:02:33,840 Speaker 3: first leg, and I would wouldn't think, you know, one 46 00:02:33,880 --> 00:02:35,320 Speaker 3: to one or even like a nil Nils out of 47 00:02:35,360 --> 00:02:36,760 Speaker 3: the question here. So he's going to look to try 48 00:02:36,760 --> 00:02:39,720 Speaker 3: to shut this down and keep things tidy, take this 49 00:02:39,800 --> 00:02:42,040 Speaker 3: big crowd out of out of the equation. 50 00:02:42,440 --> 00:02:45,480 Speaker 1: So I think something along the lines of a draw 51 00:02:45,520 --> 00:02:45,880 Speaker 1: looks good. 52 00:02:45,880 --> 00:02:48,119 Speaker 3: I think plus two fifty, And that kind of goes 53 00:02:48,120 --> 00:02:50,920 Speaker 3: into you know what you're gonna say, because if we 54 00:02:50,960 --> 00:02:53,240 Speaker 3: do come out of here with with a draw, I mean, 55 00:02:53,320 --> 00:02:55,600 Speaker 3: both teams would have an opportunity in that second leg. 56 00:02:55,639 --> 00:02:57,480 Speaker 1: But you're looking at the underdog here. 57 00:02:58,040 --> 00:03:00,760 Speaker 2: Yeah, Morris is a price thing, you know. And I 58 00:03:00,800 --> 00:03:03,799 Speaker 2: came into this semi final and we were waiting for 59 00:03:03,960 --> 00:03:06,720 Speaker 2: the odds to come out. I kind of expected, you know, 60 00:03:07,000 --> 00:03:09,600 Speaker 2: Real Madrid to be probably around minus one fifty minus 61 00:03:09,639 --> 00:03:11,480 Speaker 2: one forty in that range, because you know, if you 62 00:03:11,520 --> 00:03:13,440 Speaker 2: look at the underlying numbers for the both these teams 63 00:03:13,480 --> 00:03:16,400 Speaker 2: throughout the season. I mean, Bayern Munich has been better 64 00:03:16,440 --> 00:03:18,000 Speaker 2: in the Bundesligue. A lot of it has to do 65 00:03:18,040 --> 00:03:20,000 Speaker 2: the fact that obviously they've been beating up on all 66 00:03:20,040 --> 00:03:23,000 Speaker 2: these lower end teams. But it's not like La League 67 00:03:23,040 --> 00:03:25,160 Speaker 2: is that much more difficult of a league than the 68 00:03:25,200 --> 00:03:27,639 Speaker 2: Bundesligue is this year, so you kind of have to think, 69 00:03:27,680 --> 00:03:30,240 Speaker 2: like okay, like, yes, they'll probably overweight Real Madrid here, 70 00:03:30,280 --> 00:03:31,800 Speaker 2: and then they just came out and opened Real Madrid 71 00:03:31,880 --> 00:03:35,480 Speaker 2: like minus two twenty to advance here, which I think 72 00:03:35,600 --> 00:03:37,440 Speaker 2: is crazy. And I'm not saying I really even like 73 00:03:37,520 --> 00:03:39,920 Speaker 2: Byron that much, but you know, in that first leg, 74 00:03:40,200 --> 00:03:42,680 Speaker 2: excuse me, the second leg against Arsenal, what I was 75 00:03:42,760 --> 00:03:46,080 Speaker 2: most impressed with was their ability out of possession to 76 00:03:46,120 --> 00:03:49,520 Speaker 2: just stifle Arsenal, Like they played a really really good 77 00:03:49,520 --> 00:03:52,240 Speaker 2: passive mid block. They Arsenal could not get through the 78 00:03:52,280 --> 00:03:56,320 Speaker 2: middle of the pitch, and that same game plan they 79 00:03:56,320 --> 00:04:00,040 Speaker 2: could bring here to against against Real Madrid. Because what 80 00:04:00,160 --> 00:04:02,440 Speaker 2: we know about Real Madrid is in the matchup with 81 00:04:02,560 --> 00:04:05,000 Speaker 2: City is why you know we liked it so much, 82 00:04:05,120 --> 00:04:07,640 Speaker 2: is that because they're just a better team without the 83 00:04:07,640 --> 00:04:09,720 Speaker 2: ball and when they're playing in transition, like not saying 84 00:04:09,720 --> 00:04:11,280 Speaker 2: they're a bad team, and when they have the ball, 85 00:04:11,280 --> 00:04:13,160 Speaker 2: like they've done it really well in my leago this season, 86 00:04:13,360 --> 00:04:15,960 Speaker 2: but when they play these elite teams, like they have 87 00:04:16,080 --> 00:04:18,520 Speaker 2: the pace and the ability to wreck them with Bellingham, 88 00:04:18,640 --> 00:04:21,880 Speaker 2: but he's junior and Rodrigo so The one thing about 89 00:04:21,920 --> 00:04:25,839 Speaker 2: Thomas Tuchel that has remained true throughout his entire career, 90 00:04:26,120 --> 00:04:28,480 Speaker 2: and he did it against Arsenal is when he hones 91 00:04:28,520 --> 00:04:31,320 Speaker 2: in on a weakness from the opponent's team, he blitzes 92 00:04:31,360 --> 00:04:34,440 Speaker 2: it over and over and over again, and sometimes it's 93 00:04:34,440 --> 00:04:37,720 Speaker 2: to his detriment. Sometimes it backfires on him. But against 94 00:04:37,800 --> 00:04:41,559 Speaker 2: Arsenal he lighted Guerrero and Masarawi on the same left 95 00:04:41,560 --> 00:04:43,920 Speaker 2: hand side. Essentially play Guerrero as like a left winger 96 00:04:44,320 --> 00:04:47,760 Speaker 2: because it helped them to be solid defensively. And those 97 00:04:47,760 --> 00:04:51,000 Speaker 2: two are great guys combining down the left hand pitch. 98 00:04:51,040 --> 00:04:54,719 Speaker 2: Both are great at doing overlaps and trading chances via crosses, 99 00:04:54,720 --> 00:04:56,839 Speaker 2: which is ultimately how they scored the game winning goal. 100 00:04:57,880 --> 00:05:00,159 Speaker 2: Real Madrid out of possession is going to a. 101 00:05:00,240 --> 00:05:01,520 Speaker 4: Very interesting thing here. 102 00:05:01,520 --> 00:05:05,840 Speaker 2: Because you saw in Outclassico they're not a good pressing team. 103 00:05:05,880 --> 00:05:08,000 Speaker 2: Like if they're forced to press and like you know, 104 00:05:08,279 --> 00:05:11,000 Speaker 2: put the onuses on them, they're not good at doing that. 105 00:05:11,640 --> 00:05:14,520 Speaker 2: And even playing in a passive defensive block. 106 00:05:14,640 --> 00:05:15,120 Speaker 4: I mean. 107 00:05:16,440 --> 00:05:18,800 Speaker 2: Not saying they were like, oh my gosh, they were 108 00:05:18,800 --> 00:05:20,600 Speaker 2: incredibly lucky to get out of it against City, but 109 00:05:20,640 --> 00:05:23,120 Speaker 2: I mean they did conceive thirty three shots and two 110 00:05:23,160 --> 00:05:25,839 Speaker 2: point seven expected goals. So if they played very passively 111 00:05:25,839 --> 00:05:31,760 Speaker 2: against Byron, who have outstanding ball carriers finishers all over 112 00:05:31,760 --> 00:05:35,440 Speaker 2: the pitch, Harry Kane's been an incredible form. I don't 113 00:05:35,480 --> 00:05:38,240 Speaker 2: know if this is really the best matchup for them, 114 00:05:39,120 --> 00:05:40,839 Speaker 2: Even though City is a better team than Byron. 115 00:05:41,200 --> 00:05:42,560 Speaker 4: I think Byron is well. 116 00:05:42,320 --> 00:05:46,160 Speaker 2: More tactically versed and much more willing to play without 117 00:05:46,200 --> 00:05:48,359 Speaker 2: the ball and play in transition. At least they showed 118 00:05:48,360 --> 00:05:51,760 Speaker 2: that against Arsenal, and I think they will try and 119 00:05:51,800 --> 00:05:54,720 Speaker 2: do that because you know, I kind of go back 120 00:05:54,760 --> 00:05:57,800 Speaker 2: to their match against Leverkusen and Leverkusen beat them three. 121 00:05:57,880 --> 00:06:01,200 Speaker 2: Nothing well Levercousen did in that match is they just 122 00:06:01,240 --> 00:06:02,920 Speaker 2: gave Byron the ball, and I just said, hey, we're 123 00:06:02,920 --> 00:06:04,720 Speaker 2: gonna be solid defensively, we're gonna press you, and then 124 00:06:04,720 --> 00:06:06,840 Speaker 2: we're gonna beat you in transition, which is probably what 125 00:06:06,839 --> 00:06:09,160 Speaker 2: Real Madrid's gonna do here. So I'm very interested see 126 00:06:09,200 --> 00:06:11,600 Speaker 2: who actually controls more possession in this first leg and 127 00:06:11,640 --> 00:06:12,039 Speaker 2: even in the. 128 00:06:12,040 --> 00:06:12,760 Speaker 4: Second leg here. 129 00:06:13,080 --> 00:06:17,479 Speaker 2: But again we're getting to a pretty crazy price on 130 00:06:17,560 --> 00:06:20,039 Speaker 2: Real Madrid. I guess just because Byron's in a lame 131 00:06:20,120 --> 00:06:23,040 Speaker 2: duck status. But I can tell you this much like 132 00:06:23,600 --> 00:06:25,240 Speaker 2: I think the player is gonna care about winning the 133 00:06:25,880 --> 00:06:29,279 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, it's not like it's like Byron's not motivated anymore. 134 00:06:29,320 --> 00:06:32,440 Speaker 2: Yeah yeah, so I like Byron to advance a plus 135 00:06:32,440 --> 00:06:35,360 Speaker 2: one fifty five to the final. I just think Real 136 00:06:35,360 --> 00:06:36,520 Speaker 2: Madrid's a little rally here. 137 00:06:37,160 --> 00:06:39,680 Speaker 3: Yeah, I mean I tend to agree with you too, 138 00:06:39,800 --> 00:06:41,640 Speaker 3: like I think the Jaw is my favorite bet here. 139 00:06:41,880 --> 00:06:42,240 Speaker 1: It is. 140 00:06:42,279 --> 00:06:45,120 Speaker 3: It is just quite peculiar that we got the this 141 00:06:45,200 --> 00:06:48,800 Speaker 3: Champions League set up, where, of course, so the teams 142 00:06:48,800 --> 00:06:51,400 Speaker 3: that are battling for the title, fighting tooth and nail 143 00:06:51,560 --> 00:06:53,760 Speaker 3: for the title in the Premier League, out of it, 144 00:06:54,080 --> 00:06:57,840 Speaker 3: Byron is on the beach. In terms of the Bundesliga, 145 00:06:57,960 --> 00:07:01,040 Speaker 3: Real Madrid is far like you know, they're done. They've 146 00:07:01,040 --> 00:07:06,239 Speaker 3: they've basically wrapped up La Liga, and Dortmund of course 147 00:07:06,400 --> 00:07:10,240 Speaker 3: not involved in the Bundesliga either. PSG is all but 148 00:07:10,320 --> 00:07:13,840 Speaker 3: wrapped up the legal So it's every every team's sole 149 00:07:13,920 --> 00:07:16,400 Speaker 3: focus is going to be on the Champions League. 150 00:07:16,400 --> 00:07:18,160 Speaker 1: It's like the league doesn't even exist to any of 151 00:07:18,160 --> 00:07:19,040 Speaker 1: these teams. 152 00:07:18,960 --> 00:07:22,960 Speaker 3: Which is quite peculiar as well. So not too much 153 00:07:23,040 --> 00:07:26,440 Speaker 3: like try to like thread the needle with in terms 154 00:07:26,480 --> 00:07:29,560 Speaker 3: of how they're going to approach or lineups, et cetera. 155 00:07:30,000 --> 00:07:32,760 Speaker 3: But yeah, these real Madrid draws are they're they're quite 156 00:07:32,760 --> 00:07:35,720 Speaker 3: interesting here, I think Ancelotti. Yeah, you know, just and 157 00:07:35,760 --> 00:07:37,720 Speaker 3: it makes sense right, Like they're they're able to both 158 00:07:37,760 --> 00:07:39,840 Speaker 3: shut down a game and also be a team that 159 00:07:40,400 --> 00:07:42,840 Speaker 3: they have the the guys who could create moments of 160 00:07:42,880 --> 00:07:45,800 Speaker 3: magic to to help but come back whether it's one 161 00:07:45,880 --> 00:07:48,679 Speaker 3: or two goals down. So that's where I'll be looking. 162 00:07:50,640 --> 00:07:52,040 Speaker 1: Let's look at Wednesday, this one. 163 00:07:52,840 --> 00:07:54,600 Speaker 3: I feel like it's going to be one way traffic 164 00:07:55,160 --> 00:07:58,280 Speaker 3: between UH Dortmund and PSG. Dortmund is the home team 165 00:07:58,320 --> 00:08:00,440 Speaker 3: for like one, they are plus two hundred two fans 166 00:08:00,920 --> 00:08:03,040 Speaker 3: and minus two to seventy five is a price you 167 00:08:03,160 --> 00:08:05,640 Speaker 3: pay on PSG to make the final in terms of 168 00:08:05,640 --> 00:08:07,400 Speaker 3: the freeway line at bat three six to five. Right 169 00:08:07,440 --> 00:08:10,240 Speaker 3: now it's dortmun plus one seventy is a home dog. 170 00:08:10,360 --> 00:08:13,200 Speaker 3: PSG plus one forty. The tie here would pay plus 171 00:08:13,200 --> 00:08:15,880 Speaker 3: two sixty. I mean, this Dortmann team has been something 172 00:08:15,920 --> 00:08:17,440 Speaker 3: else in the Champions League. I think it's one of 173 00:08:17,480 --> 00:08:21,040 Speaker 3: the more remarkable stories of this this soccer season, and 174 00:08:21,280 --> 00:08:24,560 Speaker 3: it feels like nobody's ready to talk about it just yet, 175 00:08:24,560 --> 00:08:26,120 Speaker 3: because they want to see if they could get through 176 00:08:26,200 --> 00:08:29,960 Speaker 3: another you know, another tough another tough customer, and a 177 00:08:30,000 --> 00:08:31,640 Speaker 3: team that they were in the group of death with 178 00:08:31,720 --> 00:08:34,199 Speaker 3: in the Champions League that everybody thought, including us, thought 179 00:08:34,240 --> 00:08:38,480 Speaker 3: that they'd finished last in behind Milan, Newcastle and PSG. 180 00:08:39,240 --> 00:08:42,520 Speaker 3: Then they get through the knockout stages and see off 181 00:08:42,559 --> 00:08:45,480 Speaker 3: at Letty, which was heartbreaking for us. But you know, 182 00:08:45,520 --> 00:08:47,880 Speaker 3: there's something to be said. I think about these teams 183 00:08:47,920 --> 00:08:51,800 Speaker 3: that are able to scratch and claw their way through 184 00:08:52,000 --> 00:08:54,640 Speaker 3: you know, first couple knockout stages, but this this looks 185 00:08:54,640 --> 00:08:58,640 Speaker 3: like a bridge too far considering the matchup, right, Like, 186 00:08:58,679 --> 00:09:02,280 Speaker 3: I think PSG could be putting up something crooked here. 187 00:09:02,640 --> 00:09:06,320 Speaker 3: I like the plus one forty on PSG on the 188 00:09:06,320 --> 00:09:10,000 Speaker 3: three way line on Wednesday. I think that they can. 189 00:09:10,520 --> 00:09:12,160 Speaker 3: I don't want to say they can name it. That's 190 00:09:12,320 --> 00:09:16,600 Speaker 3: too disrespectful to Dortmund. But I do think that it's 191 00:09:16,600 --> 00:09:19,760 Speaker 3: going to be tough setting for the Germans to slow 192 00:09:19,800 --> 00:09:20,800 Speaker 3: down this PSG offense. 193 00:09:21,120 --> 00:09:22,520 Speaker 4: Yeah, I agree. 194 00:09:22,920 --> 00:09:25,200 Speaker 2: I like PSG's team total over one and a half months, 195 00:09:25,280 --> 00:09:28,400 Speaker 2: one fifteen so yeah. Third, like you said, they were 196 00:09:28,440 --> 00:09:30,600 Speaker 2: in the group of death together the third meeting between 197 00:09:30,600 --> 00:09:30,920 Speaker 2: the two. 198 00:09:31,480 --> 00:09:34,319 Speaker 4: There were a couple problems. 199 00:09:33,920 --> 00:09:36,880 Speaker 2: That existed for Dortmund in both of those meetings that 200 00:09:36,960 --> 00:09:40,160 Speaker 2: I don't know if it really are correctable going into 201 00:09:40,160 --> 00:09:43,160 Speaker 2: this one. The first is is that when Doorman had 202 00:09:43,200 --> 00:09:46,360 Speaker 2: possession in PSG's final third and they lost the ball, 203 00:09:46,880 --> 00:09:50,040 Speaker 2: PSG was just looking to break just immediately and quickly. 204 00:09:50,120 --> 00:09:52,640 Speaker 2: And they obviously have some of the fastest players in 205 00:09:52,679 --> 00:09:55,240 Speaker 2: the entire world, and Doorman, by nature of their back line, 206 00:09:55,280 --> 00:09:58,320 Speaker 2: is just slow. So PSG just kept making runs off 207 00:09:58,360 --> 00:10:00,360 Speaker 2: their back line. It was one pass over the top, 208 00:10:00,600 --> 00:10:03,240 Speaker 2: who was in Bappe, Khulamane and in Male. We're all 209 00:10:03,280 --> 00:10:06,720 Speaker 2: getting in behind Dortmund time and time again. And the 210 00:10:06,760 --> 00:10:11,640 Speaker 2: second problem is that Dortmund has really struggled in both 211 00:10:11,679 --> 00:10:14,320 Speaker 2: those meeting defending in wide areas. Kimmy would always come 212 00:10:14,400 --> 00:10:17,120 Speaker 2: up and they would play one to two combinations with 213 00:10:17,200 --> 00:10:20,160 Speaker 2: him and Male and just create chances via crosses over 214 00:10:20,240 --> 00:10:24,000 Speaker 2: and over and over again. So over the two legs, 215 00:10:24,679 --> 00:10:29,200 Speaker 2: PSG scored three times, they created five point two expecting goals, 216 00:10:29,320 --> 00:10:31,400 Speaker 2: They hit the post twice, they had a certain goal 217 00:10:31,480 --> 00:10:32,680 Speaker 2: saved off the line by Soule. 218 00:10:32,800 --> 00:10:36,199 Speaker 4: In the second meeting, PSG had thirty. 219 00:10:35,920 --> 00:10:39,719 Speaker 2: Six shots and eighty touches in dormance penalty area over 220 00:10:39,760 --> 00:10:42,720 Speaker 2: those two meetings. The other aspect of what PSG had 221 00:10:42,760 --> 00:10:45,520 Speaker 2: success with is, especially in the first meeting in Paris, 222 00:10:45,720 --> 00:10:49,000 Speaker 2: they pressed Dortmann relentlessly and Dortmann could not get the 223 00:10:49,000 --> 00:10:51,880 Speaker 2: ball out of their own final third to for large, 224 00:10:52,000 --> 00:10:53,679 Speaker 2: large stretches of the match, and that's why they ended 225 00:10:53,720 --> 00:10:56,960 Speaker 2: up losing to nothing. And that just comes down to 226 00:10:57,320 --> 00:11:02,520 Speaker 2: the category. Categorical problem with Dortmund is that when they 227 00:11:02,559 --> 00:11:05,599 Speaker 2: try to be a build up team, they have largely. 228 00:11:05,240 --> 00:11:08,080 Speaker 4: Been unsuccessful with it. Like we saw that's how Athletic. 229 00:11:07,760 --> 00:11:09,880 Speaker 2: Go scored off of them, like when they were playing 230 00:11:09,880 --> 00:11:11,920 Speaker 2: in Spain. It was just dumb mistakes and build up 231 00:11:12,080 --> 00:11:15,520 Speaker 2: and they can very well do it again here because 232 00:11:15,600 --> 00:11:18,680 Speaker 2: PSG over those two meetings had passed the per defense 233 00:11:18,800 --> 00:11:22,440 Speaker 2: paction of six point eight and sixteen high turnovers. So 234 00:11:23,080 --> 00:11:26,560 Speaker 2: PSG's going to press them, Dortmund is going to have 235 00:11:26,600 --> 00:11:29,760 Speaker 2: to play direct or they're if they try and bottle 236 00:11:29,760 --> 00:11:32,320 Speaker 2: the back. I think they're almost certain going to make mistakes. 237 00:11:33,600 --> 00:11:37,440 Speaker 2: So you know, I think that this is again like 238 00:11:37,480 --> 00:11:39,080 Speaker 2: you said, one way traffic, I don't really want to 239 00:11:39,080 --> 00:11:42,320 Speaker 2: back PSG's defense quite frankly, because if they try to 240 00:11:42,320 --> 00:11:44,720 Speaker 2: press here in Dormant like Dormant did have success getting 241 00:11:44,720 --> 00:11:46,520 Speaker 2: through their press, like it wasn't just like it was like, 242 00:11:46,559 --> 00:11:48,680 Speaker 2: oh my gosh, they couldn't do anything. As the game 243 00:11:48,720 --> 00:11:50,760 Speaker 2: went on, they got better and better at getting through it, 244 00:11:51,000 --> 00:11:53,959 Speaker 2: but those countlessness takes end up costing them in terms 245 00:11:53,960 --> 00:11:58,280 Speaker 2: of goals. So would just rather back PSG's offense against 246 00:11:58,320 --> 00:12:01,439 Speaker 2: Dorton's defense, which you know, the Train defenses, defense and 247 00:12:01,520 --> 00:12:03,840 Speaker 2: problems are still there like they got and they have 248 00:12:03,880 --> 00:12:06,079 Speaker 2: a much tougher encounter this weekend where they have to 249 00:12:06,120 --> 00:12:08,160 Speaker 2: go to Life Sable. PSG gets kind of tune up 250 00:12:08,160 --> 00:12:12,880 Speaker 2: against Lahoff again in league on. So yeah, I'm just 251 00:12:12,880 --> 00:12:15,120 Speaker 2: going to target PSG's attack. Projected them for one to 252 00:12:15,160 --> 00:12:17,319 Speaker 2: pointy eight goals, so over one and a half minus 253 00:12:17,360 --> 00:12:19,040 Speaker 2: one fifteen on PSG's team total of me. 254 00:12:19,480 --> 00:12:22,600 Speaker 3: Okay, before we get into the Europa League and the 255 00:12:22,600 --> 00:12:25,640 Speaker 3: Europa Conference League, let's remind you that wonder goal is 256 00:12:25,640 --> 00:12:27,840 Speaker 3: probably presented by BET three six five and BET three 257 00:12:27,840 --> 00:12:30,120 Speaker 3: sixty five doesn't do ordinary.

Okay. 271 00:13:06,360 --> 00:13:11,559 Speaker 3: Europa League time, it is Marseille and Adalanta, Roma and 272 00:13:11,760 --> 00:13:16,040 Speaker 3: Leverkusen in the final four. There other side in the 273 00:13:16,240 --> 00:13:20,840 Speaker 3: Conference League semifinals Aston Villa and Olympiacos out of Greece, 274 00:13:21,280 --> 00:13:23,520 Speaker 3: and then Fiorentina and Club Bruge. 275 00:13:23,559 --> 00:13:24,160 Speaker 1: What do you got? 276 00:13:24,320 --> 00:13:26,920 Speaker 4: Yeah? So I like Adalanta in the first leg. 277 00:13:27,000 --> 00:13:29,640 Speaker 2: Here on the road Toronto bett plus one oh a, 278 00:13:29,760 --> 00:13:31,959 Speaker 2: which is available at bet three sixty five. Adalanta is 279 00:13:31,960 --> 00:13:34,000 Speaker 2: just a really fun team to watch right now doing 280 00:13:34,080 --> 00:13:36,280 Speaker 2: really good stuff with their defense and then build up. 281 00:13:36,559 --> 00:13:38,480 Speaker 2: You know, Gasparini is a guy who wants to build 282 00:13:38,480 --> 00:13:40,200 Speaker 2: out with a back three, use a lot of passing 283 00:13:40,200 --> 00:13:46,000 Speaker 2: triangles to get through the opponent's pressure. Marseille under Getusa 284 00:13:46,040 --> 00:13:49,000 Speaker 2: was you know, they were really actually really good, they 285 00:13:49,080 --> 00:13:51,000 Speaker 2: just weren't getting results, and he was more of a 286 00:13:51,320 --> 00:13:53,840 Speaker 2: let's let's control possession, let's press from. 287 00:13:53,679 --> 00:13:55,520 Speaker 4: The front, let's be relentless. 288 00:13:55,840 --> 00:13:58,720 Speaker 2: Whereas now they're under guess who was obviously the manager 289 00:13:58,760 --> 00:14:02,040 Speaker 2: of Ivory Coast who got fired during Afcon. He's more 290 00:14:02,040 --> 00:14:04,120 Speaker 2: of just like the substitute teacher of just like, you know, 291 00:14:04,240 --> 00:14:06,319 Speaker 2: let's just play a little more passively, let's play on 292 00:14:06,360 --> 00:14:08,280 Speaker 2: the break more in transition, which is actually kind of 293 00:14:08,320 --> 00:14:10,760 Speaker 2: I think benefits Marseille more and more. 294 00:14:10,880 --> 00:14:12,360 Speaker 4: But the thing about. 295 00:14:12,120 --> 00:14:15,320 Speaker 2: Adelanta is their fantastic defense, not only in transition but 296 00:14:15,400 --> 00:14:18,120 Speaker 2: in rest defense. E shack Hin has been an incredible 297 00:14:18,160 --> 00:14:20,960 Speaker 2: central central midfielder for them that can really lock down 298 00:14:21,000 --> 00:14:25,480 Speaker 2: Abamiyang and Adelanta might have the hot striker in the planet, 299 00:14:26,080 --> 00:14:30,680 Speaker 2: Jean Lucas Samak's Kamaka fifteen goals in twenty point one 300 00:14:30,720 --> 00:14:33,760 Speaker 2: to nineties, scored seven goals in his last seven appearances. 301 00:14:34,040 --> 00:14:37,040 Speaker 2: He's a big time aerial threat in the box. He's 302 00:14:37,200 --> 00:14:41,120 Speaker 2: really good at hold up play. So you know, Adelante's 303 00:14:41,240 --> 00:14:43,920 Speaker 2: underlying metrics are a little bit worse than Marseilles here 304 00:14:44,560 --> 00:14:46,640 Speaker 2: in terms of but you know, Syria O is obviously 305 00:14:46,680 --> 00:14:51,000 Speaker 2: a way more difficult league than League on, so I 306 00:14:51,040 --> 00:14:53,080 Speaker 2: did project at Alante as a small road favorite. This 307 00:14:53,120 --> 00:14:55,280 Speaker 2: is also a tough run in here for Marseille. They've 308 00:14:55,280 --> 00:14:58,560 Speaker 2: got to play a lot of really difficult matches. They 309 00:14:58,560 --> 00:15:00,680 Speaker 2: had to play in the midweek against to Nise, then 310 00:15:00,800 --> 00:15:02,200 Speaker 2: on the weekend they got to play lones in a 311 00:15:02,240 --> 00:15:04,680 Speaker 2: high pressure match to get actually get into a Europa 312 00:15:04,680 --> 00:15:06,360 Speaker 2: Conference League spot and leg on and now. 313 00:15:06,240 --> 00:15:07,800 Speaker 4: They have to play on Alanta. 314 00:15:07,840 --> 00:15:09,560 Speaker 2: There's just a lot of matches stacked on top of 315 00:15:09,560 --> 00:15:11,280 Speaker 2: to There are a lot of high stakes matches. So 316 00:15:11,640 --> 00:15:16,640 Speaker 2: I do like at Alanta and then in the Conference league, 317 00:15:17,280 --> 00:15:20,920 Speaker 2: I like Club Bruges against Fiorentina plus a half plus 318 00:15:20,960 --> 00:15:25,480 Speaker 2: one twenty. Club Bruge is putting up just great underlying 319 00:15:25,560 --> 00:15:28,840 Speaker 2: metrics in the Belgian Pro League which are in the 320 00:15:28,840 --> 00:15:32,840 Speaker 2: playoffs right now, and plus one point one to three 321 00:15:32,960 --> 00:15:35,640 Speaker 2: expect a gold differential per ninety minutes. They've just been 322 00:15:35,760 --> 00:15:39,600 Speaker 2: routing essentially everybody both in Belgium and throughout the Europa 323 00:15:39,640 --> 00:15:43,520 Speaker 2: Conference League haven't really played a team of the stature 324 00:15:43,520 --> 00:15:46,840 Speaker 2: of Fiorentina yet, which is a little concerning. But if 325 00:15:46,840 --> 00:15:48,840 Speaker 2: you look at Fiorentina as a whole for the season, 326 00:15:49,040 --> 00:15:52,240 Speaker 2: they're right around to even expect a goal differential, which 327 00:15:52,280 --> 00:15:54,360 Speaker 2: is kind of weird when you dig into their metrics 328 00:15:54,400 --> 00:15:56,560 Speaker 2: because they're the number one field tilt team in Italy. 329 00:15:56,840 --> 00:15:59,040 Speaker 2: They're number one a, getting the opponent's penalty box like 330 00:15:59,040 --> 00:16:01,520 Speaker 2: they're number one, and getting the final third. The problem 331 00:16:01,520 --> 00:16:04,280 Speaker 2: with Uorantina is just everything once they've reached the final 332 00:16:04,360 --> 00:16:07,320 Speaker 2: third just kind of breaks down, like they don't have 333 00:16:07,360 --> 00:16:10,040 Speaker 2: a consistent striker that they can get the ball. They've 334 00:16:10,040 --> 00:16:12,520 Speaker 2: been lying on their midfielders just hitting bangers from outside 335 00:16:12,560 --> 00:16:15,240 Speaker 2: the box. And the other thing about Fiorentina and maybe 336 00:16:15,240 --> 00:16:17,640 Speaker 2: why they're at this like even expected gold frenchial because 337 00:16:17,680 --> 00:16:20,560 Speaker 2: even their defensive metrics are good. Is there one of 338 00:16:20,600 --> 00:16:23,560 Speaker 2: the worst transition teams in Syria A and there's not 339 00:16:23,600 --> 00:16:25,880 Speaker 2: many teams in Syria that can break with the pace 340 00:16:26,400 --> 00:16:28,920 Speaker 2: that Club Bruses has so I think Fiorentina is like 341 00:16:29,000 --> 00:16:31,920 Speaker 2: vastly overvalued here. They've been a very average team throughout 342 00:16:31,960 --> 00:16:34,280 Speaker 2: the season, and the market just continues to value them 343 00:16:34,360 --> 00:16:36,920 Speaker 2: like a top six Syria A team when they're more 344 00:16:37,000 --> 00:16:40,760 Speaker 2: like the eighth or ninth best. So I like Club 345 00:16:40,760 --> 00:16:43,440 Speaker 2: Bruches here plus a half at plus one twenty. I 346 00:16:43,440 --> 00:16:46,880 Speaker 2: also like them to advance at one point fifty eight, 347 00:16:47,080 --> 00:16:49,160 Speaker 2: and if you really believe in them, you might as 348 00:16:49,200 --> 00:16:50,840 Speaker 2: well back them at seven to one to win the 349 00:16:50,840 --> 00:16:52,880 Speaker 2: conference league if you think they're going to get through here, 350 00:16:52,920 --> 00:16:53,960 Speaker 2: which is another big price. 351 00:16:54,000 --> 00:16:56,520 Speaker 4: So kind of all over club brush here. 352 00:16:56,520 --> 00:16:57,960 Speaker 2: Any one of those three bets I think has a 353 00:16:57,960 --> 00:16:59,920 Speaker 2: lot of value here against Fiorentina. 354 00:17:00,120 --> 00:17:01,080 Speaker 1: Friends Club Bruges. 355 00:17:01,440 --> 00:17:02,720 Speaker 4: Yeah, things have changed since. 356 00:17:02,760 --> 00:17:05,679 Speaker 2: You know, don't go back to our shows last year 357 00:17:05,720 --> 00:17:07,240 Speaker 2: and listen to what I said about them, But things 358 00:17:07,280 --> 00:17:09,679 Speaker 2: have changed. They actually a funny story, Michael. They were 359 00:17:09,680 --> 00:17:12,680 Speaker 2: playing really well and then for whatever reason, they fired 360 00:17:12,680 --> 00:17:15,720 Speaker 2: their manager. So they've been a care caretaker manager. 361 00:17:16,119 --> 00:17:18,679 Speaker 4: And they've won every match hundred she's five straight. 362 00:17:18,840 --> 00:17:22,800 Speaker 2: So I guess a little new manager bounds still happening 363 00:17:22,800 --> 00:17:23,600 Speaker 2: for them, But I don't know. 364 00:17:23,680 --> 00:17:25,760 Speaker 4: Weird things are going on with them, but they just 365 00:17:25,840 --> 00:17:26,320 Speaker 4: keep winning. 366 00:17:26,440 --> 00:17:28,840 Speaker 1: All right. That'll do it for this episode. 367 00:17:29,280 --> 00:17:31,520 Speaker 3: Hopefully you guys are all set up for the Champions 368 00:17:31,560 --> 00:17:34,960 Speaker 3: League Semifinals coming your way on Tuesday Wednesday.
