"Again, I'm restricted by not wanting to ruin it for people, but the details of the transfer, the way the transfer even came about. Absolutely stunning. I can't recommend it highly enough, and I'm not even finished it yet. Who do you think fans more associate him with? Barcelona or Real Madrid. Great question. I still think baris Laura. Okay, because his appearance is pretty much the same. It's like a dead split, essentially, for the amount of time he spent at both places. Yeah, is it? Yeah. Wow. And he would have been on that team that won in 2002. Wow, that is. Yeah, when you put it that way, I mean, I can still see him like maybe the lasting image is of him and white. Yeah, maybe you're right. Very interesting. But it's just it's so. It's so at the time it was so utterly incongruous the word, the thought of him being at Real Madrid. After all he'd done a Barcelona. And so in or around that time in the preceding years, Irish, the Irish language TV, it was called a teenage television talk at the time. They had the rights for Spanish football. And so we used to get all the Spanish football the highlights, narrated into Irish, which was great. We didn't really even understand Irish, let alone Spanish. But a lot of how you say. Oh, so much how you say. But it was kind of, he was like this introduction. We knew all those players. Well, you got that. I'm in. You got me. Here was the team for the final, sorry. Okay. For the two one win over leveraging the final. At Hampden Park. So it was, I mean, household names. Salgado hero, Hera, Roberto Carlos, makelele, sitting in defense of midfield, figo on the right, salary on the left, Zidane on the middle, raul and orientis. What? Jeez. Good lord. Jesus. But that would be an interesting thing if we went back and ranked the greatest Champions League winning teams of all time. This one's gotta be up there. That one, I mean, I've got to think the messy Neymar Suarez Barcelona team would be high up there. This could be a fun summer activity. Because right, we won't have really a World Cup next time. Well, yeah, we'll look at the calendar. Maybe that could be a fun thing. Maybe me and you could just go for beers and talk about it like Friends. That's true too. We certainly could. And then you could skip out on the bill and leave me with multiple beers to handle on my own. Unbelievable the narrative that's forming. But you're creating. Yet again. Against me. A couple things before we get out, JJ, youngman's son, what a performance came on as a sub. So they did the thing that I kind of said it was time to do. Because he was becoming the odd man out for Tottenham, Kane was playing well, Richardson was playing well, and cool assess key have been taken out of the starting 11, but hadn't really done anything to warrant that. They just wanted to give sun every chance to get right. Finally, they this was the moment they couldn't take it anymore. Sun gets sat for the Leicester City match comes on as a sub and has like a 14 minute hat trick of just unbelievable goals. Now you texted me afterwards and said that he shushed the fans. And I saw it too and I was thinking that I was thinking the same. Is that what he did there? I don't know that he did. Was it the fans or was it just a message to like because here's what he said afterwards? He himself, he admitted that he has not been playing well. He said, the way I play, I can do much better than I have been. I have been disappointed. The team has been doing really, really good, but I was disappointed with my performance. Then he said he went further. He said, I'm getting emotional, to be honest. There's been amazing support, and I've always felt like I've disappointed my teammates and fans with my performances. They have always been supporting me. So I don't know. I know that there's been calls in the media that say what's going on here. They got to sit him. I don't know. I mean, he's so beloved by that fan base. I'm not sure if he shushed them. I don't know, is this important? Maybe that was it. Maybe that was just a general signal to the noise around him. Maybe. Because he didn't run to the fans and shushed them. He kind of stoic almost, which was not which is not like him. I think he's been you've seen it in his body language over the past few weeks. He's been, he's aware that he's not playing well. And he's been really frustrated by it. It's not something that he's used to. But you know, it's like, it's like when we talked about Frank Lampard at Chelsea, how aware he was of all the talk that was around him to the point where he was like, you know, name checking journalists who'd written stories about him. In press conferences, and I think we forget that. Maybe someone like son is also, again, probably the guy to go to white heartland weekend week old. The supporters, they're not on his back. Maybe there's the Mona grown there, but they're probably not on his back. But it only takes maybe him just a log on to Twitter or go on to social media of some sort and see one thing, and that could set it off. You just don't know. Yeah. But it kind of raises an interesting dilemma for them now, because so what do you do when they're all playing well? Conte is going to have to figure this out. And he has said that there will be guys who are just rested just because of the congestion of the fixture congestion. They have coming up. So it may just have to be like that. It may not even be a form related thing. It's just like, well, it's your turn. You got to sit for this one. You mentioned Kane as somebody that they're going to have to start sitting on a rotational basis. I mean, it's cool to set up some of the goals that there were so many goals. I can't remember all of them, but you put in a beautiful cross for cane was it for the two one to go ahead goal. Yeah. And it's interesting because when they signed, what was it? You said to me that like, what is this for? Do they want him as like a wingback or something? Because for that amount of money, it was just like, well, where is he going to fit? Where is he going to play? And when they're all going good, you're right, he might be the odd man out, which seems hard to fathom considering how much he costs. What was he 60 million? 55 million, something like that for a guy that we're not even sure where he's going to play. So I guess it's a good problem to have, but you don't want guys who are informed to kind of be wasting away on the bench. So it can also be a bad problem to have. Let's see, arsenal, they keep rolling JJ and they played a 15 year old over the weekend. Good lord. 15 years. He's not a good one. Is that a good thing I wonder? 15. I mean, I was doing a lot of reading on him and you hear the word maturity when he's spoken about just the stories of like his whole career, which, again, he's 15, his career. Good God. But at every level, he's always been playing with the level above when he was 12. He was playing with the under 14s. I know when he was 14, he was playing with the under 16s or whatever. So it's not the same thing though. These are grown men with

"Yes, caught off side from the upper west side of Manhattan and an apartment in Brooklyn. Andrew gundling and JJ van, what's up brother? What's up is Andrew, I think we're changing formation in with the podcast today. I think we're doing things a bit different. You could say we're mixing it up a bit. Yeah, I suppose I would agree with that. Elaborate though. Well, I think that we are going to, I'm not saying we're a mid table team that's worried about getting sucked into a relegation battle. But I think we've decided to freshen our formation of. So what we've done is, we're going to do the usual. We're going to talk about the topics of the day, but we're going to do two interviews. This is unchartered territory for us. We're playing two up front. Yeah, I'm actually really excited about this. So, I mean, I always am, but the first one JJ Matt Pence wrote a piece for the athletic that just it's so caught my eye. I texted it to you as soon as I saw it. I said, we must speak with him about this immediately because it's on a topic matter that we have talked about for years on this program. And that is the lightning rod element of certain U.S. men's national team guys. And Matt spoke with some of them. And I thought it was fascinating. We're just coming out of an international window where lightning rods were on full display and the full fervor of U.S. men's national team love and hate was kind of all out there all at once. It felt like the right time as we're kind of settling back into club football felt like the right time to maybe have a discussion on some of those lightning rods and then we move on. Back to the club scene. But so Matt will join us in a little bit. I'm really excited about that, JJ. Yeah, and you spoke about the right time. There was a time carved out at the weekend on Saturday for what we considered. I don't know if we still do the third best player in the world. One of the greats we thought he'd be. Well, he turned 30 on Saturday. Neymar. So I thought, with his documentary on Netflix coming out, which I don't know if you've seen? No. Yes, name our a perfect chaos. I have watched it. I will talk about it. But we thought it'd be a good time to look at Neymar's career. I feel like I feel like 30 is not a particular milestone anymore, but it's an age that seems to sneak up on everyone. And in football, it seems like an important stage. Yeah. I'm just thinking now, what you said there, a guy who we've long considered the third best player in the world. I always thought it was. It was Ronaldo Messi Neymar. Suarez will come into that then. Yeah, then there was kind of a revolving door after those three, but now Neymar has been just besieged by injuries in big moments, unfortunately, because I do believe as a talent. He is worthy of being the next guy for these all these years after Ronaldo and Messi. But can you still say he's the third best player in the world? Is he perceived in the same way that mosala is right now or Robert Lewandowski has been for the past couple seasons? I don't know. No, I don't think so. And but I also think in terms of achievement in those in the years since we'll say the 2015 Champions League Final. When he was entering his peak years, you have to say, it's been pretty barren. Yeah. So, like you said with this 30th birthday is a milestone moment for him. Later in the podcast, we're going to have a conversation with Sergio Patrick. Longtime fans of this podcast will know him from when he was with radio bande roches in Rio covered Brazilian team has followed Neymar's career since its inception since he was a teenager. So I can't wait for that conversation as well to kind of take stock on what has been a really interesting, sometimes controversial soccer career. But JJ, we start before all that. With some of the events going on over the weekend in the past couple of days, and we begin in Africa, JJ wear Senegal defeat Egypt on penalties to win Afghan 21. Congratulations to them. I was just kind of this morning scrolling through on Twitter and seeing some of the websites BBC and Sky Sports. And they're showing images of the celebrations in Senegal and Dakar and just wow. As you would expect, I suppose, but just to see it and to see what it meant to the people of those country to finally get this after so many close calls and having some of these teams that were thought so highly of they couldn't quite break through to see the joy spill out now that they finally did do it and in such dramatic fashion. It was pretty cool. I couldn't help but feel really happy for them. Yeah, and it's a shame that the final itself didn't live up to its billing. There's JJ. Well, no, that's not theirs, JJ. We spoke with we spoke at the start of this tournament about the early games and we thought, oh, there are law scoring and even say you didn't get to see all of the games, maybe you missed some, but the reports weren't good. There were turgid kind of football. This was a particularly bad final. And you know, a bad final deserves. Do you know what I was thinking about, though Andrew? I was thinking, I saw a tweet and the tweet said, I hope this terrible final goals to penalties now..

"Your point. Andrew they need more out of out of harvard's to a lesser extent. Although i believe he'd be out of the team when when when mum comes back Is it is it overly biased for me to say that i think they missed christian no relentless in worth not black runs at defenses slippery and the box i i feel like he'd be great for the by the way don't you start with the is it overly biased. Don't hear that we're bias again from you mr alright. Having an opinion our point of view doesn't make you bias. We'll get to that later on. Leave that to the twitter ratty who love that word whenever they hear something. Don't like it's bias. Beulah sake is numbers will make a difference when he comes back in for sure but they do need more consistency from howard's you only see flashes from harvard's also. I do think that as much credit as we give to code for what. He did Since he's come in. What's the major thing that he did andrew. He stopped the leaking. He organized the defense. He made them hard to beat. The attacking site is always the harder thing to do. And if you wanna see chelsea's still work in progress trying to fit in all these various components. Then i would agree. I absolutely think that's true. And mesa among the key to that and so when he comes back when polis it comes back. Yeah although i do think mount will come in and he will. He will stick with harvard's as well Because i think he he knows how much talent advertising he just needs to find a way to get it out of him but chelsea have scored less in total under to date under lampert. I'd have to check that if that's the case Boss the main thing that is dawn has been organization and making this team difficult to play against and hard to beat The other part of the attack the components are there. But it's it's gonna take a little bit longer if you. I mean just looking at them in the league and the primarily so far. This season their tenth in their tenth in shots per ninety minutes beneficient. I think you know bringing in a guy lukaku instead of a team. Oh verner as your primary goal. Scorer means that they'll be efficient like their shot on target percentages fourth. But they're not generating the number of scoring chances that you would think they should be writing. These are these are issues that lampert struggle with what's his right. What's his best formula and attack. Does he get the most out of these brilliant mottaki players at the have and you know to does not even being in the job calendar full year. You know he. He's add the it's his first his first preseason with this site so Work in progress is a fair way to look at it. I think Barcelona jj good lord there now without a win in five european gains in total Just during that ronald of these five straight. They've scored just two goals and conceded fourteen. This is dating back of course to last year as well we. Obviously i'm talking a little bit to myself but like we knew that they would be worse to season. I'm a little bit surprised that it's this bad this fast now in the league they are still. I believe there's john beaten. I think they have three wins and three draws But the champions league has been a nightmare for them. I don't know i still like i. I didn't i didn't get a chance to watch a ton of this. Is watching another one. But i went back. Watch the highlights. Read a lot about it. Because i'm just so intrigued by what's going on there and i'm looking at their eleven. I'm looking at fathi coming on as a sub. I don't know. I still think that like yes. They're not what they were in. The messi neymar suarez any dot. They're not that. Of course they're not that i'm not stupid. I understand but they're still good there are. There's too many good players on this team for them to be playing this poorly in the champions. They okay but against byron minute. That's one thing. We'll talk about byron. Admit minute but like three not benfica. This has to be more. Is this just like a cultural. morale shift. Is this bad management. Because there there are still good players on that team. They're just are yeah. Fear factor's gone..

This is dating back of course to last year as well we. Obviously i'm talking a little bit to myself but like we knew that they would be worse to season. I'm a little bit surprised that it's this bad this fast now in the league they are still. I believe there's john beaten. I think they have three wins and three draws But the champions league has been a nightmare for them. I don't know i still like i. I didn't i didn't get a chance to watch a ton of this. Is watching another one. But i went back. Watch the highlights. Read a lot about it. Because i'm just so intrigued by what's going on there and i'm looking at their eleven. I'm looking at fathi coming on as a sub. I don't know. I still think that like yes. They're not what they were in. The messi neymar suarez dot. They're not that. Of course they're not that i'm not stupid. I understand but they're still good there are. There's too many good players on this team for them to be playing this poorly in the champions. They okay but against barman minute. That's one thing. We'll talk about byron and minute but like three not benfica this this has to be more. Is this just like a cultural. Morale shift is this bad management because there are still good players on that team. They're just are yeah. Fear factor's gone..

They'll have they'll have an idea of what the what the capable of what he thinks it capable of greatly could be the start the season going right if i can get this. This guy say what he's going to be stopped to look to them. It depends how he plays in. Hope is you don't think there's some element of just liking to bring them off the bench like not down to how that's just over the end of the day. It's up to the playoffs to play. That can be lift though right like tim. Verner burner has. What does this mean for the usa assault on the twenty twenty six zero next question No that's on football.

Did what means crumble in that way. Like lawrence rumble disintegrate. Disaster fail the point at this point they will. But i guess we've more going towards sexist than crumbled ness. I would say The the team to win everything but a some point you know within like three four years when he's gonna leave maybe in going to leave name ause well and some players going to give up. I guess they're gonna collapse right now next season. i thought i'd morsi sexes than fill ops. Hold on wasn't just a no regale. You were worried about defensive midfielder. Yeah but even though van. Though it's gonna be okay for the league. One and i and i think if you compare to any other teams to win the chen peaks. Somebody's seeing that they might crumble. I don't know how they can travel with the team they have. They might not win the champions league easy considering as a catastrophe. Maybe for the club. Maybe for the fans. I don't know but for me. You all know that only one team can with the champion of courage again. The final of the champ assy. You cannot be a disaster for the club football. America's do i record it. I've given you for you. Want to pay me off gases marine. Actually yeah twice a week. Mondays thursdays korean plus a week. This question a week. Is it ever been week. Seven days to show is the name. Christian pulisic has not brought. I don't know that there's been a show where christian pulisic has brought been brought up. Yeah hey you gotta give the people what they want.

Be you know you know what you think about a christian research. I think i think he has talented. The all the talent that he needs to be a fantastic player play with somebody was a short is smaller as he is but somebody's strong like zola. I think differentiates police which is to light yesterday. Get stronger yes to work on. The gm es to get stronger compete with the monsters that he faces in defense. Then i'm sure it can become one of the law synthetic player but if he's keeps on being down lights is going to struggle. That's what i think. That's what i wouldn't zola. And all those boys came the london jokes off the game because they saw us. British boys and the jim thome doing what. Sure use of a heater in the gym when you got you to go in there and the gm whittle the was right the window. There was a heater right. Below grey easy setting.

"With cooper about that before we get off of this and move to the epl preview. Which i know is why most of you are here. Although i'm guessing all of you who loved the sport are interested in this topic on messy. This is unbelievable what we've been watching Real quick on. Ps g So now we're looking at a team that has messy imbaba neymar as a front three They've brought in. I mean and the fact that they've done all this business on free transfers with ramos and messy and wynalda Who there was. There's somebody else do that. I'm forgetting But at any rate this team is insane. And i've i've kind of heard the narrative put out there. Yeah donald trump that's right there goalkeeper. Who won the tournament the euros. I mean my god. It's madness And so like. I will say credit to ps g. Yeah they gotta pay all this money in wages but they've done a lot on free transfers so You know at least they're keeping their spending in check somewhat in that way the thing i've heard now with regards to the upcoming season and moreover so with champions league is that this champions league now almost feels like a foregone conclusion. I would caution people to pump the brakes on that. I don't feel that way. I'm not saying the. Ps g won't be great and they would probably be my probably. They will be my favorite to win it but a front three. Let me ask you right now. Front three of of messy at thirty four Imbaba and neymar imbaba at the beginning of his prime name. All right in the middle of it is that a more intimidating front three. Then the messi neymar suarez front three at barcelona. And then i mean every year and that team had any esta and other greats. And i'm psg do to but it wasn't a foregone conclusion necessarily that that bar team was gonna win every year saw. I'm not willing to say that. This is any kind of foregone conclusion whatsoever. No and sport has a way of of humbling. The mighty and i think it was only a couple of weeks ago. We were talking about the business. That ps were doing signing donna room by the way signing sergio ram also will now be a teammate of lena. Messy yeah unbelievable but We we talked about this team. And you know. I'm not fully convinced about them. Defensively as good as martinez says as experienced as roma's Compound not convinced by you know. There's there's ways to get them and also you might have to get them because look at their record of the last few seasons. Maybe the changes this season but neymars never be one hundred percent fit for them when it came to the business. End of the champions league on imbaba struggled with injury last season two so i would tend to are on the side of caution before i go pilot money on with them. Yeah and there's a lot of players that are gonna be on this team. The back three that you mentioned martinez compan- day rama's i actually do think highly of those players. But we all know that in this sport. Defending is a team concept. It doesn't necessarily just fall to those players at the back. So i just wonder okay. They've put together outrageously talented. You know all time. Great attack-minded team but do they have players. That will buy into any kind of team concept when it comes to defending having to track back. I don't know so like back. Might be very good. But i just wonder is like like could any back three without help from other parts of the field be able to withstand that. Yeah i know. But i'm gonna correct course at a bit on this like someone like variety is top quality professional and. I don't think you could question him. In that. regard there They've got other midfielders as well. That will do that job. I'm i'm just saying that people shouldn't you know. Jump to to conclusions yet. I i still think. It's gonna be fascinating. The on as much as i hit this project. I can't wait for the book that's gonna promoted. Yeah the ex g philosophy. Jj they tweeted the Expected goals per ninety minutes last season for messy. It was point eight. Two neymars was point. Eight four and bought they was point. Eight seven so the x g per ninety minutes was two and a half goals per game. I mean we're talking. We're sitting here talking about like i don't know if they're gonna be able to defend well if they're tina scoring three goals like at least on a nightly basis like how much i don't know how much defending or you're going to have to do all of a sudden all of a sudden mass. He's going to be on a team. Because i i know i'm not not obviously speaking for everyone in the in the you know the spanish speaking world because i knew it's not the case that there's a lot of rail madrid finds out there fans of other teams to i understand that but where i come from a was such a joy to watch messy that you you root for barcelona unless they were against your team you root for them always and now he's going to be on a team who are the debt star. They are the bad guys. And it's going to be It's gonna be fun to root against them. So keep your eyes open for the The interview that we're going to have coming up probably early next week. I would say most likely tuesday. You'll see that. Come out. With simon cooper the author of this book about messy in barcelona. I can't wait. See i have so many questions. It because again the big thing the biggest question that i have for him that you and i can't answer. We can only speculate on is i. Just keep wondering. Jj if barcelona if joan laporta if if he knew all along because you hear these stats about even if messy had volunteered to play the season for free they still would not have been able to do it within the parameters of lolitas rules and it wasn't even close and so like i know barcelona and laporta were saying that you know what we just got back our financial audit. We don't we didn't know until now bs there's just no way. The numbers are not close. Enough where you couldn't have possibly known until hours before messy was supposed to sign this deal. This felt to me like they to me. I'm saying my conspiracy theory. They always knew they always knew that this relationship wasn't gonna continue but they were trying to save face. Remember laporta basically won this election by we always said a vote for laporta was vote for messy to remain at the club so he got into office on that. I think he knew we can't do this. But i can't i can't make it look like i'm the one who's forcing him out now. After saying that. I want him to stay so i think that this was the way that they went about it. That is my opinion. I can't wait to ask simon if what he thinks if if barcelona always knew that this relationship was going to have to end and they just didn't know how to manage it andrew going to stop you there. I could talk forever about that. That particular wrinkle. You're in in this amazing story You're onto something there but we will save it. We all know otherwise. Who's gonna talk about. Brentford you really have a way of transition. Your master of the transition. I'll tell you what. I'm not even going to attempt a transition from this into brentford or whatever. So let's go ahead. Let's take a quick break. We'll we'll gather ourselves. We'll take off our messy. Jerseys will come back. We'll put on our brentford kits full kit f. k. w. brentford..
