Simone Inzaghi

And now that we're starting to see them adjust the formation a little bit recently from that last game, I would imagine he sticks with that to try to see if this can turn things around.

The problem that Spalletti has is that, you know, Gazzetta della Sport today speaking about the fact that if Juve were to move on, they'd look to bring in Simone Inzaghi, who actually does play this system, does play a formation with two strikers, does potentially have the concept of getting those wingers into positions where they can be successful.

And that is a big shadow to have on your shoulder.

if you're trying to move into this kind of world.

And again, just what Gattuso's done is amazing.

I keep seeing comparisons being drawn, and I think it was Simone Inzaghi who came out saying that this team does remind him of the 2020 Lazio team, where if you remember, they were in first place.

They went into the Christmas break, and it was at their Christmas party.

They were singing songs about winning the Scudetto.

Right, next question.

Can you talk about Italian managers that are not coaching in Serie A? For example, Inzaghi, Derby and Porto coach Farioli and others.

how their current clubs are doing, and how long until we see them back, and which team they will most likely go to in Serie A. Farioli has done brilliantly in Porto.

They're top of the Portuguese league, eight wins out of eight.

They lost to PSV, and he's been criticized for that.

He did really well at Ajax, but then there was a collapse and he left.

But he's very, very highly rated, and there's been some links to Juventus as well, as well as Inzaghi.

so his stock is rising Inzaghi is doing well if I'm not mistaken he's doing top of the Saudi league they've played 8 or 9 games Dezerbi I mean they've started winning Tottenham so I suppose that's a good thing but and he's got Kulusevski back after 500 days so how would you characterize Dezerbi how he's doing

Do you think Lazio would have won the 1920 Serie A if COVID had not happened? This is an interesting one because I think that that season, I just could not see it happen until Lazio beat Sarri's Juve 3-1.

in what is one of the greatest seria games of the last 25 years that i've seen from an individual point of view from a tactical point of view from a qualitative point of view of both teams uh the goal scored i thought it's i don't know how many times i've re-watched that game it will and it was the game that finally tipped me over the edge on Simone Inzaghi and I said and for me that was because I've been watching him for years but that was the game that I was like this is something special like that match is a masterpiece a masterclass sorry who my love with his Juve against that Inzaghi and after that game I was like they're actually going to win this thing aren't they like it was and the momentum as well because rome naples are those places where you oh when when things go well they just by the energy of the city and the piazza it just lifts you upwards same thing is true when things go bad it pushes you down like a centrifuge but the how lazio were flying that season after that game after that performance at the boiling olympico Luis Alberto's pass alone to Milinkovic-Savic, I mean, the goal, reminded me a little bit of that, I think it's De Boer to Bergkamp, World Cup 98 against Argentina.

I mean, it was absolutely stunning.

Everything about that game, it's a Serie A classic.

I remember it very well.

I also remember that season around that time Lazio had beaten Juventus in the Cup.

And I remember thinking it was the first time I noticed Simone Inzaghi as someone who had a massive future.

And there was talk, there was certain talk that, wow, this guy's going to end up at Juventus.

You know, Saturday.

Get Simone Inzaghi.

Thiago Malta brought Bologna to the Champions League.

Simone Inzaghi.

He can't go until the end of the year.

He can break his contract with the

I guess the last thing for me is, I think we all just said and said, yeah, it's going to work.

Do you think Kivu is going to say, is he going to say, we have to do plan A better? Or is he going to say, when we go up in Champions League, do we have to have a plan B? Do we have to maybe sit in a little bit and accept that we can't play this Barcelona, old school club Liverpool style where we're going to play hot? What do you think? What do you think they should do? And what do you think Keeble would do?

Oof.

[laughs] I, I, I was thinking of Simone Inzaghi.

Oh, please, no, I can't-

That was-
