"News coming out of Liverpool today that Virgil van DIJK is out for at least a month for stupid question and be asking, Don, how serious is this for Liverpool and the rest of the season? So how do I ask that without sounding stupid? You can't because you obviously is going to be a miss. The only thing is if you're trying to put a positive spin and some sort of positive playing card on it, you might need the rest. It might be a good time for konate to come in and why I think is the future of Liverpool, him and Van Dyke as a partnership. I'm sure, over the over the coming seasons, that'll be, I think, Jürgen Klopp's preferred two. So with Joe matip and kanata, even though it's a blow for Liverpool and the player himself, it's not the end of the world, if that makes any sense because they're two still very, very good center off. So again, mentally, it might be good for him that he steps out of it and then comes back pretty fresh. I like Don and his, you know, glass half full mentality, Stevie, give him a break. These are the matches that he's most likely to miss. Listen, if Liverpool had been in the title race, for example, it would have been a bigger blow in my opinion. But you're in a race that goes wrong. Well, as I said, had the Liverpool been in better shape, I would have suggested it was a bigger blow. The fact is that Liverpool will be struggling. He's being struggled and so yes, it's a blow that he's out. But it probably could be a lot worse, you know. He's got him maybe more than a month. Right. Somebody said he's going to miss 6 months, so the rest of the season, then I think we'd be talking in different towns. But the fact there's probably needs a break. You get that brick. And Liverpool will have to, well, they'll have to miss that. He is quite the vocal. Yeah, but as I said, that leadership hasn't been there right now. So the fact is, is that no, instead of maybe waiting on him producing that leadership in him, pulling things together. And then stop off at the bike. The new going to have to concentrate on that part of the game. And so that means that it'll spend extra time on the field, extra time on the chain and field, I should say. And so maybe it will concentrate a little bit more and trying to protect the back fall a little more than they have been at all. Again, that's maybe a slightly positive spin. But the truth is, is that Virgil van DIJK has had a very difficult season. By his standards. The average. And so I think Don makes a good point in that while it is a physical break and it allows him to heal up. I think just as important and it is a mental break that you can sort of sit back and evaluate how the season has gone and just kind of be able to process and digest the information because I think games were coming and coming and coming and coming and his performances were not improving like he was expecting they would improve. And when that's not happened naturally, all of a sudden you start chasing things and you started doubting yourself and you play without confidence which is and I know it's difficult to say this but it's clear to see that virgin Van Dyck has been playing without confidence. Maybe this allows him to just kind of take that mental break that pushes him forward whenever he gets healthy. Liverpool, of course not in the title race of Stevie mentioned arsenal have taken that role to

"Gotta go. When you gotta go, you gotta go. You gotta go. I don't know. Sometimes you have a big goal, and you expect it to be 90 minutes, not a 120 minutes. You've all been there. But Argentina won this game three times. They were two nil up. They lost that. They were two nil up in the penalty shootout. They lost that. And they won, but only just the tone of the game was summed up in this photograph, taking seconds after that final penalty winner. If you're listening at home on the podcast, it's essentially the Argentina players storming off in celebration, but taking time to stick out tongues like a 5 year old and poor funny faces and a Dutch team shattered by defeat. We still don't quite understand. There was a confrontation between Messi and Edgar David, essentially Nick's ball's 1993 level crap with Virgil van DIJK trying to play the role of a Dutch Charles Oakley. What do you make of this? Because this is unsavory, malicious. It's petty and it gives a slight stink to the whole affair, David. Don't understand why the Dutch guy is doing the plank in the middle of this whole thing. That seems like a very odd choice at that moment. But just what's so funny about this is it's the Dutch. You know, that Michael Caine joke of like, I've only agree on what one thing in life. What is the quote? And one of the things is like, I've never liked the Dutch. It's like, it's funny because we were intolerant of other people. People just and the Dutch, right? What's funny about that is that maybe Austin Powers too is really big in Argentina. Is that no one has ever disliked the Dutch, except the RG's, they can't stand the Dutch in this moment. And they've just qualified for the semifinals of the World Cup. They're going to either the final or the third place game, which we've discussed before. Maybe even bigger. And they're taking a moment not to celebrate that before they celebrate that moment. They just want to give it to the Dutch. And I respect that. I think that's absolutely

But he's got much more experience there, at least there's more data to evaluate. So he's got no club titles, but he's got more international experience. More data. I don't know how it attractive he'd be for other for other entities like a Bundesliga or an era de vizier or premiere, whatever you want to whatever the case may be.

When the sporting director of wilsberg spoke out against John Anthony Brooks, he took him for his work. When Gio reyna was heard at Dortmund and they didn't want him to play much, he did the same thing. When Thomas Tuchel was worried about Christian political participation with the U.S. miss Nash team, there goes Greg berhalter again, bendy over backwards for these clubs. He's obviously tried to maintain and nourish these relationships. For what? Well, if you're angling at a job, there it is. Okay, so what are the kind of things that was said at the very beginning of berhalter's tenure? Actually, Carlos Cordero was still in charge. He talked about the style that Greg berhalter would bring to this team. And I think beyond that, there was this idea that Greg berhalter and this young group of players could change the way that the world views American soccer. I want to get Jeff's opinion on that. I want to get hurt your opinion on that. But first of all, let's hear an exchange with Virgil van DIJK from his press conference earlier today with a journalist that might just kind of inform us on what the rest of the world thinks.

"But obviously he learned a ton in that experience and so I think the point is that Greg Bert knows what he's getting into and it's very much kind of on his bucket list to get back to Europe. So again, we'll see what jobs open up. We'll see how long he's willing to wait. And then he can take it from there. That assuming that he decides that he does not want to continue with the USSF. So there's some things in motion here. There's some moving pieces. And again, we'll just have to wait and see how it shakes up. What do you think? Is he ready for a European coaching gig hurk? Sure. It's a wide net. I don't know. I don't know if he's ready to go. Then an international coach, do you think it fits his stuff? What are his club titles? No, he's got no time.

"Way equate the U.S. men's national team performance with fox's coverage of this World Cup. But yeah, I think that's fair. Australia's impotent, we needed a rose lavelle. Someone who could step up in a big moment and drop the hammer and we got a lot of Rosie O'Donnell. We had we had no impact player up top for sure. I mean, all of it, the P four, the Ricardo Pepe, the had you write selection, the Jesus Ferreira selection, they raw young and confident man who had not scored since September, swallowed whole with the nation watching. I fell for him. I really did. Yeah, you're lacking form. So we're going to send you out there against Virgil van DIJK in your first World Cup game ever. I think Greg is a lovely guy. I think he's built an incredible culture in this U.S. squad. They really are. They love each other again. Guys who love being around each other. Here's recruited genuine talent for our nation. But I think also think is obsession with system. That's a club coach thing. Bring you on giorno in that second half in a two zero hole. How good did we look then briefly, the Dutch defenders? In the first half, they confidently played out the back. In the second half, they were just clearing it and panic hoofing it away, and they couldn't shut the game down. Gio arena hurt them. And it may be we watch it again that 20 minutes in the second half, and I realized we need a manager who knows that club football this club football identifying talent.

"The back line because that ball is one higher up the field. Not all the times, but a lot of the times. But if Shaq said that intensity is not there for the 90 minutes anymore, and that's putting more pressure on the midfield and more pressure on the bike lane. Yeah, and it's top four. Now what Liverpool should be aiming for? Well, absolutes that I should be aiming for that. I think it's too early to write them off on everything, but they have to start defending. And I'm with Craig there because sometimes you say the defending start from the top from the strike as a striker you always say, yeah, yeah, yeah, but just try to defend at the back. But what I think is a big concern for them, try and Alexandra Arnold. We know about this weaknesses, but what we didn't know about the weakness of the vehicles and Dyke. I mean, this season, as we would say, that started at Fulham. Remember mitrovic had a had him in his pocket in that game. And there is something about his positioning. There is something about his cleverness that is just being lost at the moment. And I think that a lot of this insecurity you see at the back now is that your minister of defense Virgil van DIJK is out of it and I think that in fact the other players at the back though, which are young lads who Robertson or Arnold, what Sam is a Van Dyke Louis I think he's a couple of things now and you can see goals, of course you're going to look at the back and you see that they are a man of judgment right there when he's mad when he was your Gomez. You would point to the Joey Gomez now is not there and then we have to find bandai because Marty did a good job but also he's not Robertson then so when you start seeing that this is not the team at in defense as the level that we are expecting we try to find or blame the one they are not in the best form. But it's a group of things. It's our team from when the guys are talking about the intensity when you don't have that intensity in the middle of the park. The players who are facing to you, they have time to put the ball in the best position in the best moments in the best runs. And then you put in danger, the center, the center back. So in that kind of moments I think the Van Dyck is struggling because the partnership that he's got next to him is not adapting well. The players on the right areas, they are not happy well. When one goes forward, the other one stays, they got in between the me feeling and the defense is so high. So all those small details are things that they're going to have to work together, but Van Dyck pointed to Van Dyck. Because now we see that they have conceived, but the game finished two, three, two, four, Liverpool, no one is talking about Van Dyck. We are talking about amino in the goals of his school. Meanwhile, of course, Graham Porter left Brighton to go to Chelsea and he registered his first Premier League

"Be different. You look back when I left Celtic and 99, bonzi was shocked a couple of months later. It wasn't a couple of days. And you kind of think I should have hung on a little bit. Right. But it is what it is. A couple of days is a little ride, a little friend. It was quite Gabby. What do you want to say? No, the funny thing is that the story that's doing the rounds here in London about the Billy Gilmore move was that remember Tuco's like, yeah, okay, Gilmore's not in my plans. Short, we can go ahead and sell them. And then the story is that Tom boley, obviously knowing that he was going to sack Tuchel because remember, this wasn't a knee jerk. This is something they've been planning for a long time that he supposedly tried to persuade Billy Gilmore not to leave, but Gilmore thought that two whole would be around. We have no chance with two holes. This story to me is so bizarre that I simply do not believe this because in the end, it's bullies club. If you don't want the guy to leave because you know you're planning to sack two hole, then he doesn't leave. Simple as. Nobody's forcing you to sell him to Brighton, which is why so many beds of this narrative about two Osaka and when they find it and whatever. To me, just are complete porkers and just don't add up.

"This rock club had to say ahead of that time. We had four or 5 days now of absolute truth, not to not the players down just to make sure where we are now. This is the starting point for us to sort the problems together on the pitch. There is no point to each other, Napoli was the worst game we've played since I've been here. You have to understand why that happened. 8 out of 11 were absolutely below their level. The rest not on their top level just a normal game. Does that make sense? Yeah, it does make sense. It's and I'm sure it was a little stronger than that behind the scenes, but it's common sense. They know what below the level the players they don't really need telling but I think it needs addressing the individual problems within the game itself. The people making the mistakes and the fact that the back line hasn't been marshaled in the same manner that it was from Virgil van DIJK and he has to step up. The fact that the closing down from the front hasn't got the same intensity that there has during their really successful times and that's put more pressure on the middle of the park and more pressure on the defense. So absolutely. But it's just talk, isn't it? It's not going to change until he sees it for himself on the field. I mean, it's all very well work in Bournemouth. I know, isn't it? When they're coming for the manager, waving a white flag, we've already gets the sack. This doesn't kill the fish. Yes, I actually have sold a few players, but the start of this season very well again, a scoring goals for fun. And Liverpool don't defend properly and they certainly did not do that in Naples. You'll get beaten by ayax. Mario, you take a look at this team and obviously they've got so much experience. How much do you need a manager over these four or 5 days as he said to tell you the truth to tell you where you've been going wrong? Because surely they know, don't they? Yeah, but you know what I think is I think the biggest problem with Liverpool is that everything was so automatically happening for them. You know, they had a great machine and I still think they have that. So I'm not taking it away. But the Adam is like, I felt like a setup. And everybody on the stood and the energy of them and the high pressure was so it was like almost watching Liverpool and thinking like, wow, now it looks like the energy dropped a little bit. And I think that's their biggest problem because they can not produce any more what they were producing before. As quickly as they can get that back, I think they'll look better. And I think that's the biggest

"What's really up to him, you know, you have to challenge yourself. You have to realize that it's not enough. And you have to make sure that even if you have a talent, even if you gifted, you need this and the heart. You know? And unless you don't realize that your head and your heart will do the difference, especially when you work and you play for Liverpool, which is, again, what I said before, part of the genes of the club when you have to give everything like you're about to die, you know? And it's what we love about that last decade of Liverpool. Do you have to give 100%? You have to make sure that you did give 100% and then you will get back to the close to the best that you've been and for Van Dyck that would be what you have to because you are defender. You have to react. You have to lead. You have to show the example to new players, as well, and is the leader, easily of the defense. So he has to deal with that and make sure that he comes back to basics in fact, you know? And the basics of the defender is to give everything to help the team to win. What's wrong here? For this Liverpool performance. First of all, the first thing that struck me is how poor they were against Manchester United. And I can't believe that Liverpool's somehow lacked motivation going in going into a game against Manchester United. Though the dominated possession, they really lack pace and any real cutting edge. To your question about sadio money and his emission, more times than not, when Liverpool were the best, he would come in off that left hand side, which is where Louis Diaz is. And for me, simply hasn't been anything like the player, we've known for the last couple of seasons. That is a big issue for Liverpool and Jürgen Klopp. A lot of the other departments, I don't think that different Liverpool have never gotten a lot of goals from midfield. It's always been about that front three, but they've always been fairly secure at the back, Virgil van DIJK has never been the type of defender that's thrown himself into challenges or blocks. His strength is reading and anticipating and getting there. And maybe because of the injury he's just at half a yard short, but I just know that he's a little more

I mean, the XG was pretty much in their favor. And palace pounced on their one opportunity. Not Philips who I didn't think Joe Gorman should have started, but that Phillips gets caught out and Virgil van DIJK for some reason doesn't read the danger that if Zaha goes past him, he's in brilliant finish from Zaha and then I thought the red after the red carrier thought Liverpool were excellent. The Diaz goal was just superb. I never pull fought so hard that I actually do agree with clot that it was a good point. It was a good point in the end. Don't forget Zaha hit the outside of the post on a breakaway, but Liverpool went for the game with ten men, which I think is a good sign of any team. But to be to give to drop that many points, four points already, I guess a team like Manchester City and the bigger tighter race is not good. And you know which way it's going, even if the report will pick it up and start winning games. There's no sign that city won't, I mean, they're destruction of born that should send shivers down your spine. Even with, I mean, Holland was an irrelevance.

This was all game. There's a great compilation. I've seen it. Yeah, but right before Andrew, Nunez is trying to throw his head into him. I'm sorry. He just is. And Anderson, where the boy breaks down, comes out and gives him the waggy finger and pushing him like, what the F are you doing, pile? And he turns on and headbutts him. Making this up.

It's just so frustrating. So frustrating. But look, I think a point the crisis club Derby, Liverpool versus Manchester United on Monday. It's one of the crazy things about that game is like, I don't expect united to win, but if they do, the way that the narrative could change, they will Liverpool by a point. I'm always nervous going into those games. Always. It doesn't matter, even last season when we put 9 past them over two games and they didn't score once, but the way I Liverpool are playing, they should still be confident going into that that they can put in the performance. Now, there's this midfield. Clap talked about a witch coming over the club. They were missing so many players. And they will have to figure, they'll have to tape together some kind of a striker Andrew for Monday's game. But look, two draws, not ideal, not ideal against that opposition, but I'm not losing my S over it. No, but it's not. Like we talked about Jack. We view them as the competitor. They are the contender. Maybe it's a responsible for us having a title race in this league. You see 37, 38 year old James Milner out there and you're like, God bless him.

"Yeah. Transfer dealings. Is what it lands on JJ. So we got a few here. Some have been confirmed. Some have not. We got a few here. I'll just roll through a couple of them. We'll start with Liverpool, Darwin Nunez. Goes to Liverpool and initial fee of €75 million, it's been agreed to with 25 million in potential add ons. I saw Duncan castles refer to those as quote easy add on. So I would say expect this to rise to a hundred. Okay. That is if I'm going to take him at his word. Well, Duncan castles who often delivers the Manchester United side of things. He calls it easy. I don't know. Okay, Duncan. We don't know what they are. All right. Well, I'm going to, I'm believing him. That's all right. Go with all dunk. This is amazing to me just because we talk about keeping a squad fresh. Like this is how you do it. Like this was a team when I looked at Liverpool a year ago, I did not look at their front line and say that there's a week, there's an obvious weakness there that they need to freshen up. And here we are a year later, and they've added Lewis Diaz and Darwin Nunez, two of the biggest names that they could have added. Like this is how you make sure that things don't go stale. This is just a fascinating transfer for me. And I'm not sure what whether like it's not whether I need to be convinced or not, but so what strikes me is it's outside of the Liverpool model the amount of money that's being paid. Liverpool generally don't pay that. Well, they've done it when they felt like they needed to. They spent a lot on Allison. They spent a lot on Virgil van DIJK and how did they, but how do they pay for that? They paid literally cash the check from Coutinho and then went and spent that will happen again because Sadio Mané is going to leave. So they can make sure they know that. But I'm saying, when they feel like they have a position where they need to spend big on, they do it, and they've always done so wisely. They've been a huge move been behind their trophies. It's just been four or 5 years since they've done. It is a little bit out of the pale for them to do it. It seems as if a very soon reaction to what Manchester City did down the road with Erling Haaland. And just the type of player he is. Now, I have not seen enough nar has most Liverpool supporters to be honest, which of Darwin noon is the part when he played against us and did quite well. To know exactly what we're getting here. Like we can watch as many YouTube videos as you want, but he is a departure from the striker or the forward attacking player that we've been buying regularly. So even in size, I mean, he's 6. He doesn't look like any of the guys. He's 6 foot two. Automatically you're thinking, is he going to play more centrally? But then some of the tape I've watched of him can actually come in from either side and be very, very effective. He's more mobile than I thought. I'm fascinated by this transfer. I really am. Liverpool never really been aggressive in getting this player a player was on the radar of Manchester United and other top European clubs. I mean, once I guess Liverpool entered the fray, there's not hope he's going to a team who aren't in the Champions League. That's not going to happen. But there was a general perception that this is the next big striker. In European football. I don't know yet. I really don't. Now, I think what you said about a response to the Howland signing is interesting. Yeah. Liverpool are not usually reactionary. I feel like they are comfortable marching to the beat of their own drum. And I'm not saying this won't be the beat of their own Trump. Down the street. That is almost impossible to keep up with, but Liverpool have done all. Have done amazingly well, so far to do it. And I wonder if there's maybe a slight acceptance in FSG that we are going to have to really push the boat out. To go again next season and to get close to city, if particularly if the Harlan signing clicks. Is this also then? Is this maybe not about next season? Like, I'm not saying he won't be a factor next season. But are they, are they covering themselves for if the sala thing doesn't pan out? And they lose him. Is this cover for that? I think it's an acceptance. It could be. It's a cover for all three of those forwards. They're all 30, and we know what Liverpool do, the short term contract, don't generally like to extend it. We've seen players leave Genie win Alden when we felt he was irreplaceable. He had to go because of that's the system that Liverpool operate. I just had a nightmare scenario in my head of oh, yeah, this is the point I wanted to bring up. If you look at the last two months, Andrew of Liverpool. And the way Salah fell off and the way things seem to be a grind and trying to get results against Tottenham and couldn't do it and seeded the league championship and everything seemed to be much tougher and not taking chances in the Champions League Final. This seems to be as much of anything as a reaction to that, meaning we need more firepower. We need different ways to win..

"Bit of fallout from this game. And it's worth remembering, right? He left out Virgil van DIJK, he lost he had Salah on the bench. Again, these are things I think that he's doing, obviously, with a view towards towards the Champions League Final. That certainly more than understandable. He played Thiago, he lost Thiago at halftime travel, set up incredibly except to go with a little back here. Yeah, I thought that might have been your thing. Yeah. I thought there was a pretty big blunder on wolves opening goal as well. If that was like we said to the kids, you say whatever edge group you are in, whatever level, the one thing you say, let never the ball bounce or drop. It's a long cake, it's a goal kick. Kick whatever is a free kick, the ball can never bounce and you bounce it to bounce. I was just struck though by the fact that what Liverpool came in terms of injuries late in the season. In terms of playing all these matches, people will look at them. I've heard people say this, right? Against city, Chelsea, and spurs. Liverpool didn't be any of them in the league. And I think actually, I mean, I guess in the car about cup, of course, and FAQ continues to two drawers. They're the two drawers. Although they beat they beat city in the FA Cup, didn't they? They'd be sitting in the Africa cup and they'd be spurs in the League Cup semifinals as well. So it's not like it's some kind of hacks. But the incredible thing is those 6 draws. Those were the 6 draws of the season, right? Yeah. But I was looking, you coming to January, you're chasing, right? Your Liverpool? You're 14 points behind you at that point. I mean, for you to make up that distance. Just some context here, right? Since January 2nd, which is the day that they drew with Chelsea. They only draw points once, and that was recently that was the game against against spurs when Klopp got all grumpy afterwards and whatever. I mean, you struggled to think, in real time, there were situations where, you know, you and I, we sit here, we do this every Monday and Thursday. We second guess then we play Monday morning quarterback, and we say, well, we could have done this during the day. This part of our job, right? But in the end, they didn't pay a price for any of those decisions. Maybe the spurs game, but I mean, from again, January 2nd to May 22nd, you draw points once. And you come back from 14 points. While advancing to the League Cup final. While advancing to the FA Cup final, while advancing to the Champions League Final. I mean, that's pretty surreal. Well, having two of your while you're having well, you're two best strikers, and another one Roberto Firmino is pretty good. While having those guys in contractual situations as well, because as we all know, they got a contrary in 2023. While having your guru director football or whatever Michael Edwards job was, you know, telling you, oh, look, I'm leaving. Yeah, yeah. I mean, it's pretty. If your clock, you can take a lot of credit here. I think. Yeah, completely. I mean, you got to do with the S bonus that we mentioned before was maybe not planned for now. For January, based incredible. I don't think people realize maybe how incredible this season is. Maybe more than the 1819 season when they finished with 97 points and still lost the title by 1.2 city. Probably more incredible than when they won the title for me. Yeah, yeah, completely, completely. With the pandemic, it was a different environment. But this is just incredible. The season they've had. Unbeaten at home in the league, only one defeat of homo season, which is the inter one where they were kind of in control after they won the first leg in Italy. But on top of that gap on top of everything you said is the style of football is the entertainment is all the movement is the trend Alexander role is all the girls from Jota salaman. A tree you like this with all that goals. And yet they slightly behind city in terms of goals code in the Premier League, but overall I think this is they had never scored as many goals in the whole season, these 150 and they still have one game to go. They would have played every single game that the season had to offer. Can you imagine every single game? A big deal. Jared Julian did that a little bit. But that was a different time, even. You know? I was just in this incredible and usually we say, oh, you never remember who finished second. You only remember. We only remember winners, really, usually. But I can guarantee you that in 2025 years time we will still talk about this Liverpool side. Why would they go on to achieve from now on? We will always always mention them almost like if they were winners, even if they were by the way. That line that you said. I agree with you. People say this all the time. Oh, nobody remembers who finished second. It is one of the dumbest things. It is not short in a way. It's also not true. Well, won the 1954 World Cup. The 1954 I will tell you. I know. Do you think who do you think is more a part of history? What does Germany or hungry 1954? I know, but okay. 1974 World Cup. Not many people won the World Cup in 1974. Oh look, see a pattern here, right when it comes to Germany. Sorry. Do we remember that? Or who's more a part of fabric of history or the Dutch side? In the books, you only have the winners. There's only Muppets that there doesn't matter. It doesn't matter. You remember winners. And but this Liverpool team is more than a team that finished second. And you know, I feel for club when I hear him saying, this is the story of my life finishing second. He finished second to Bayern's and when pep was there, he finished second again. He must be he must be sick of seeing pep all the time everywhere in a way, saying that as a joke. But it is true. It would be one of the greatest ever, but it would have been a lot of time second. And he won a Champions League title. And he won the first title for Liverpool in 30 years. Which is great. Exactly. But there's still a lot of second places too. I moved to city now because we talked about the legacy, whatever. In the game itself. Let's do some second guessing here, because the reason you have substitutions is to is to fix mistakes. When I look at the way you had chances, I'm not hanging out away. But this was a game in which I thought I had to silver was ordinary. Yeah, yeah. I thought I was your Zeus, not for the first time. At the back, obviously fernandinho. Because this is last game, and you know it. So you want to almost I genuinely think for an anemia is playing because John stones isn't fit. And you put in my right back. Justin's is fit for 45 minutes then, but not for the whole game. And again when you have a lot of the ball. I think he looked at it and he said, all right,.

"And this is where you have to on that walk compose yourself by the time you get to the spot. So you're going down there, you've got a blank out of the fact that all of them want you to miss. Everybody behind you wants you to score. Everybody behind you know if you miss or say, it's over. Everybody knows if you score, you've won. You know what I mean? It's so much going on, which you have to try and focus on like just taking the best one you can. So what you got to do is, especially if you're a family taker, is you've got a once you get there, get the ball, it's like when you get a pen at awarded, wind up everybody tried, what they tried to do is put off the referee, make you start thinking about stuff. So you get the ball and you don't do anything until the referee moves everybody. And then you slowly stop stop. Hopefully by then, you're so zen, you hoping to go keep doing what fucking Kepler was doing. Coming out and fucking around. You know what I mean? Because that kind of stuff, it can annoy you. Right? So it can frog you because he's doing something. Once you've put the ball down, he should be there on the line. So that can throw you as well. So then all you're thinking of and all I thought of was I knew I had three steps. I put a ball down. I've done my next to the ball and done my three steps back. And I know exactly what I'm putting it. Goalkeeper's right halfway up the net if he can get near that, then good luck to him. And then bam, you take it. And you went few and same side every time. All your pants. That was my stock penalty. Because I know that if I hit that one properly, he's not saving it, but then what happens with that one is if you catch it too much because the goalkeeper is a mendy or a Schmeichel, which happened with Mitch McConnell and charity shield funny enough. They're so good. You try to be too precise. It's like, it's like Marcus Rashford. In the Euros, tried to be so he actually got the goalie the wrong way, but the goalkeepers so big in Dunham that he was trying to be too precise, and those are the things you've got are not worried about, because remember, golly can still go the wrong way. So the main thing is, is to get it inside that post inside halfway up and then bam. You know, so that's the thing, but listening to maggio, there's a free workshop. One thing we couldn't do in training was replicate the walk, but what we would say to the goalkeeper is what way you're going to take it. And that is why I go back to the Virgil van DIJK penalty because I saw kept a standing in that side. And you know why it didn't make sense in doing that. Because he was so far over that side, Virgil could have easily just rolled it into the left hand side..
