Giovanni Simeone

I mean, nobody's really looked awful yet, uh, which is great, obviously.

Um, you know, Svilar making a big save on, on Simeone, what, which you come to expect, you know, being one of the top goalkeepers in Europe at this point.

I mean, the defense played well, limited Torino.

And one thing I noticed too in this match, Jim, was, uh, as I was going through the stats, this was the first match that Roma conceded, um, you know, more than half a possession.

Back three of Kompany, Coco, and Camuzzo.

Bugali, Mandragora, Fitz-Jim, Ginetis, Fortini, and Simeone, and Vlasic up top.

Um, Roma scored with about five minutes re- remaining of the first half.

Marlon had a couple of opportunities to score beforehand.

Um, Torino did get sort of into the game.

Had a couple of, uh, chances before Roma scored.

Simeone was always a handful, uh, against Mancini, Belotti, and Hermoso.

But the, the most important thing was Roma scoring five minutes before halftime.

And I just hope that Cody Gappo and Isha will be in their combined very good self and wait to see.

Now, it looks like Atletico, Giovanni Simeone, Adem Ola Lugman will have a lot to do on the flanks.

Maybe Lukman may have the better of Araujo.

And that is where I have issues with the Liverpool team.

Isak could be explosive.

But just listen to this for a second, okay? So of the top transfers out this week, Mbwemo, Salas, Simeone, Shabazlai and Fernandes.

Is that not nuts? Mbwemo, Shabazlai, Fernandes.

Top five transfers out.

Last January, they went and bought-

Simeone and Gehe

...

Simeone and Gehe, and they win two trophies.

They don't hesitate.

Manchester United never used to hesitate.

Good.

We dropped him in Simeone last year.

And who did we get? Giovane and Luca.

Yeah, that was.

Not only are we creating chances through the pressing and the counter-pressing, it's the fact that we're allowing the back line to have such an easy, easy run rate when it comes to h- what they're having to face up into, because the pressing is then also if they, if it, even if it somehow breaks through the press to d- you know, distribute a pass, which we saw from Torino, it was a long ball going into a sea of Milan defenders.

Ma- usually two-on-ones against Simeone, or just a ball that was completely nowhere near a, a Torino player.

Closer to Mike or, or maybe a, you know, a Milan defender.

That's what allowed us to recycle possession back really well when Torino had goal kicks and we created chances and half chances, and that's what led to Milan having the spell of possession that they saw for the majority of the game.

Uh, Gabbi had to come on for Mario Hiller, which I thought was a bit of a downgrade as well, um, when it comes to that sort of like tenacity to win the ball back through, through pressing.

Um, and, um, and yeah, Torino were creating some chances.

I thought, um, Njie who, who came on for Simeone was incredible.

I thought he was really good.

It sounds like we're trying to help them do a bit of a dodgy over Frankfurt because there's a sell-on clause and we're paying less for Marmouch and more for Savinho.

I don't know why we're so obsessed by Simeone.

He is a talented player.

He's skillful, but he hasn't really scored goals.
