Global Sports Podcast Network
Hello and welcome to the Daily Brighton podcast brought to you by the Global Sports Podcast Network. Today, I am joined by Yasha.
00:00:22
Global Sports Podcast Network
I feel like I i hope I said your name correctly.
00:00:24
Yashar Alizadeh
Yes, yeah, yeah.
00:00:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah From the Daily Charity podcast as we have got them in the cup at the Amex on Saturday. Yasha, how are you doing, mate?
00:00:34
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, I'm good excited for this one. It was a double header, isn't it?
00:00:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:00:37
Yashar Alizadeh
So we've got a lot to talk about.
00:00:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah.
00:00:40
Yashar Alizadeh
man Yeah.
00:00:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Obviously, last time we played you, I think it was 5-2, wasn't it?
00:00:44
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:00:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
I believe, yeah, it was 5-2. Not a great game. It definitely could have been more. Cole Palmer, Taurus Park. But, you know, the cut, anything can happen, basically. It's essentially, I mean, it's probably, I don't know about how you feel, but it's probably a bit of a bigger a deal for us because we'd love a cut run.
00:01:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Whereas you've got the conference league, Champions League, trying to get into the Champions League as well um and whatnot. So um obviously it would be pretty decent if we win it.
00:01:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I imagine that the league game might be a tiny bit more important um the following week. I don't know how how you feel about that. But I imagine, I mean, obviously you'd like to win the cup as well.
00:01:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
But, you know, I mean, you have you have enough teams basically to to be able to a compete on all fronts anyway.
00:01:33
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:01:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
So um But yeah, how has your how's the season been for you so far? how did you How are you finding it? Because I know that you started off really well, and then you you were sort of almost in the title race for a little bit, and then you sort of dropped off from there.
00:01:48
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, I think.
00:01:50
Yashar Alizadeh
um I think in my opinion, this season for us has been a bit of a roller coaster, to say the least. I always compare us as like a 12 round boxing fire.
00:02:00
Yashar Alizadeh
The first six rounds, we got old guns blazing, literally with gas out.
00:02:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:02:05
Yashar Alizadeh
We're going over hands. We're doing everything. And then like six rounds, we're like, Oh, you can't do anything, can we? So it's more like that. I think, I think during the season, uh, cause that ends up Maresca is still a new manager.
00:02:18
Yashar Alizadeh
So his tactics was new.
00:02:19
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:02:20
Yashar Alizadeh
So going into the season, his tactics weren't found out soon enough. And then after the few months in teams are starting to realize, realize Oh, right. Okay. That's how you counter it. Yes.
00:02:32
Yashar Alizadeh
Cause like in possession of player four and our possession player three at the back. So it's quite easy, predictable.
00:02:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
Hmm.
00:02:39
Yashar Alizadeh
And then I think once teams like realize how predictable we are, we start to become more, more of a counter attacking team, which also never leads that. never leads the team properly.
00:02:50
Yashar Alizadeh
So I think in my opinion, we've, I think over, I think we overstepped our achievements a little bit and we, yeah.
00:02:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay.
00:02:59
Yashar Alizadeh
So like, I think a lot of Chelsea fans expected us to be maybe top six. We're running in there, finished like we didn't finish high enough last season. We finished seventh. So getting into that stage is more of a thing of, right.
00:03:13
Yashar Alizadeh
So If we're out of stage, we need to finish a good position. ah we I think with our team, we invested over a billion pounds. We expect to be at least top four contenders, which we are, thankfully, but the last few results for us by the West Ham result hasn't been the best.
00:03:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:03:33
Yashar Alizadeh
And that's why it's always, I I think it's always good to debunk that, especially against teams like Brian, who, yeah, like who are not on the road you think about. a lot of draws aren't there like yeah too many draws and i think yeah i thought our form wasn't that good but then thankfully we've got a good result um yes hello we've got a good record of their mix one you know like we want like we've not lost in
00:03:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, yeah. Too many draws. We've only won twice in the last 14 maybe, or fifteen like 15. Yeah, it's bad.
00:04:09
Yashar Alizadeh
We've only lost one in 11, so that's not that bad at the MX considering.
00:04:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, loads of people don't really like coming there, to be fair.
00:04:14
Yashar Alizadeh
ah so like
00:04:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
Especially more... I feel like i'm more so in the deserby days, I feel like teams i didn't like coming there at all, just because his style of play, when he was there, was very...
00:04:23
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:04:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
He basically didn't care who who turned up.
00:04:32
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:04:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
He was just going to do his own thing, basically, and like to show absolutely in no respect to whoever.
00:04:35
Yashar Alizadeh
Exactly.
00:04:38
Yashar Alizadeh
Hmm.
00:04:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
And um like my main struggle, they struggle against everyone at the moment, but like they struggled, they struggled loads against us because of the way that we play footy.
00:04:44
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:04:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
They're so easy to play through. Like they struggle so much. um Even Arsenal sort of, I mean, they've beaten us a couple of times, but they still struggle with how much we don't really care about how how good they are as a team.
00:05:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's more just like, well, we're just going to play how we want to play. And then, no, they drew both games.
00:05:05
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, they're gonna beat you this season after.
00:05:08
Yashar Alizadeh
No.
00:05:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
so That was the game when they got Declan Rice sent off the first one at Emirates.
00:05:10
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:05:13
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:05:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then they went and won it up in the at at the Amex, and then we got a dodgy penalty.
00:05:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
um But we we probably could have beaten about theirs, to be fair, but we missed a couple of good chances. um But yeah, um so in terms of like the following seasons for you guys, like for Chelsea, where where do you see, cause you still have a ton of players um and, but you have really, really good players in there.
00:05:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like let's not, let's not sort of get it twisted. There is so much talent sort of dotted all around the squad from sort of like, obviously your Cole Palmer and you've got your Cole Palmer there and then you've got the, Oh, what's the guy on loan?
00:05:52
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:05:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
in Brazil, what's his name?
00:06:01
Yashar Alizadeh
Oh, Santos.
00:06:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, not Santos, the other one, the winger. he like bro He's broken the record for like most goals in at his age in the Brazilian league.
00:06:12
Yashar Alizadeh
Oh, um, yeah.
00:06:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
I can't remember who it was.
00:06:14
Yashar Alizadeh
So like he's coming in the summer.
00:06:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, yeah, he's coming in somewhere, yeah.
00:06:16
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. Yeah. We've got like the next Neymar.
00:06:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah, yeah.
00:06:18
Yashar Alizadeh
That's what they keep saying about him. Yeah.
00:06:20
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like, even like through that, and then like, I mean, even, I think you, Estebio, that's it, yeah, then you said like, even Chokomeka, you sent him out alone, didn't you?
00:06:23
Yashar Alizadeh
laistavio Yeah, Yeah.
00:06:30
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, it's Dortmund. Yeah, which is a really good move for him.
00:06:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:06:32
Yashar Alizadeh
I think that's, I think that's perfect for him. Yeah, with our team, it's a strange one, isn't it? Because it's like, I think ever since from two, like from two seasons ago, when like the new owners took over their policy is don't sign anyone.
00:06:48
Yashar Alizadeh
I think who are, who's on the older side. Prime example, we've not started someone in our team who's above the age of 30 in our team, which is crazy.
00:06:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's all.
00:06:58
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, that's all.
00:06:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh.
00:06:59
Yashar Alizadeh
We're the youngest team. And that in itself, I always say, I always said, look, I don't agree with that because you need players with some experience. You need players with some growth in there to actually help these younger lot.
00:07:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that has been.
00:07:12
Yashar Alizadeh
And you're like, So many examples, like for example, Tiago Silva, he was absolutely vital for us to win that Champions League because he was someone who who helped the likes of Trevor Chalabar, who liked like Zuma and even Rudiger because like he was still youngish before he went to Real Madrid.
00:07:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:07:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm.
00:07:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:07:30
Yashar Alizadeh
So, it's these little things that really show that's why we can't compete. And I said, I was like, um We need it to compete. like Firstly, we need a new goalkeeper.
00:07:42
Yashar Alizadeh
And obviously, it's a big topic for you guys, isn't it? Because he used to play for you a lot. And speaking to few Brighton fans, they don't like him either.
00:07:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's terrible to be verbal a lot.
00:07:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:07:52
Yashar Alizadeh
I'm about to ask you, how do you feel about Robert Sanchez? And it's quite funny how you got 25 million for him.
00:07:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
I just thought. ah Yeah, well, that's just the thing is that we're from Sanchez and that like he he sort of he'll have like he had his moments, but like just overall, it's just not really what you it's not really what you want.
00:08:13
Yashar Alizadeh
No, yeah.
00:08:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
And like it kind of surprising that he got a big move for quite a decent amount of money, um because like you I've seen recently I've seen clips of him from I think he was at Forest Green Rovers for a little bit.
00:08:16
Yashar Alizadeh
Mm.
00:08:20
Yashar Alizadeh
Mm.
00:08:26
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:08:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
And, um, some of the highlights seemed when he was there terrible.
00:08:30
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, it's embarrassing.
00:08:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Um, yeah, but like the thing is we're from Sanchez, um, often like he'd get swapped around quite a lot.
00:08:36
Yashar Alizadeh
Mm.
00:08:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like, because we didn't trust him with his feet. Um, which it's obviously like you've seen, but now it just seems as well that he makes a lot more like really schoolboy mistakes, like the, um,
00:08:43
Yashar Alizadeh
yeah Yeah.
00:08:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
the one against C, where he's just run out of his box, and he stops, and he's just like, in no man's lad, he's just so stupid.
00:08:57
Yashar Alizadeh
It's just, I always said, I was like, to win the league, um to win a league, you need three world-class positions. You need a world-class number nine, you need like, you need a world-class center back, you need a world-class goalkeeper. Those three, if you have a world-class, those three,
00:09:11
Yashar Alizadeh
and then the rest of your team is really good, then you'll be in a good position.
00:09:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
100%.
00:09:16
Yashar Alizadeh
Because I think that's why Liverpool is such a good place right now. And I'm saying that they don't have a world-class number nine, but they have a world-class attacker, which is Mo Salah. And I think having someone like him and then Virgil van Dijk and Alison, it's just those three is the reason why they're going to win the league.
00:09:32
Yashar Alizadeh
And that's why I always say, I think what Chelsea is,
00:09:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:09:37
Yashar Alizadeh
you're never going to bring in a world-class like world-class centre back who's not firstly worth so much but also young because like they're either going to stay at the club they're at or they're going to charge donkey's amounts for them over 150 million.
00:09:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Mm hmm. Yeah.
00:09:52
Yashar Alizadeh
Chelsea's not going to pay that. So it's always a strange one. I always say I said but we're in a position where top four this season and then we can look to build on that because we'd not had Champions League football for a few years at the club and that's what Chelsea is embedded in.
00:10:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm.
00:10:09
Yashar Alizadeh
You know, we've won a lot of European trophies and that's what Chelsea is. We know we're a successful club and we were used to swapping managers in and out. And right now we're not doing that, thankfully, but we're bringing in managers who are mediocre.
00:10:21
Yashar Alizadeh
And for example, you see, like you see Pochettino, you see Enzo Maresca and then you see La Pota.
00:10:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:10:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm
00:10:27
Yashar Alizadeh
Those three are mediocre.
00:10:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
hmm.
00:10:30
Yashar Alizadeh
And there's so many Chelsea fans who are saying, oh, Poch is coming in, he's going to do this. as like Like end of the day, I get it. You know, like he did bring Spurs to compete at the Champions League and the prem, but did he win it?
00:10:42
Yashar Alizadeh
No. And those are the and those little details you find.
00:10:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:10:45
Yashar Alizadeh
And that's why now I look at your manager, he's 31, isn't he?
00:10:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yes, young.
00:10:50
Yashar Alizadeh
And there's six players and there's six players in your squad who are older than him.
00:10:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm-hmm.
00:10:55
Yashar Alizadeh
And I was thinking like, do you think there's moments where reason sometimes is not working? It's because they're going to be like, listen, this coach is young. He doesn't know what he's doing. and or he still didn't experience, that's what a lot I'm thinking about.
00:11:08
Yashar Alizadeh
For example, like Danny Welbeck, who's who's been there, done now, got the t-shirt, so many different clubs.
00:11:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:11:13
Yashar Alizadeh
So like, how do you feel about the manager? Do you like him?
00:11:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's, I mean, he is, I don't think he comes across very well well in the media.
00:11:24
Yashar Alizadeh
He doesn't, though I agree.
00:11:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
um He comes across a little bit arrogant.
00:11:28
Yashar Alizadeh
Hmm.
00:11:28
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And after that result, which to be fair was we didn't have the Labour or Ari who are sort of been that they've sort of been the two who are there in the midfield.
00:11:36
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:11:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
um And then he's just he's put like Georgina Ritter there, who's like, ah basically like a nine and a half like sort of and he just got it wrong he got the formation wrong you got the players wrong um and then he's not even gone over after losing seven little away from home he's not even gone over to the away fans and allegedly I wasn't there but he didn't go through he didn't go over to the away fans and I just think that he he tries to chop or change it a little bit too much I know obviously injuries like sort of force your hand as to what you
00:11:47
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:12:02
Yashar Alizadeh
yeah
00:12:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
what you're going to do. But yeah, I think he just chops and changes it way too much. And um he doesn't. The thing with us Brighton fans is that especially the ones on social media, they really don't hold on when but to a manager does something that's like really bad.
00:12:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
So like um some of the comments that like Potter made, like that stuck with our fans.
00:12:35
Yashar Alizadeh
Right.
00:12:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
And like some of the things that Deserby said, this stuff for my fans, even though a lot of our fans want him back um and stuff like that. But I think that I didn't really predict his, I didn't predict his, um his sort of, I said that it started really well, which he did. And then he'll go in like on a really bad run, but I didn't expect the but run to be actually be this bad. And then I thought he could basically judge him dependent on how he comes out the end of it.
00:13:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
And I mean, a 7-0 is crazy.
00:13:08
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:13:12
Yashar Alizadeh
different
00:13:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
It is just crazy. like It doesn't matter how good not enough for us to do it. It could have been Man City. It's still not really acceptable.
00:13:19
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, I think the time to play Brian is right now, isn't it? I think for Chelsea right now, we're we were so lucky over the weekend because Newcastle lost, Bournemouth lost.
00:13:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah,
00:13:29
Yashar Alizadeh
and City Lost, who are our top four competitors. So for us to beat West Ham, which was vital. And again, we started really like quite well.
00:13:41
Yashar Alizadeh
And the last five minutes to the first half, we just gave away stupid, stupid back-pass and leave our co-will. And then Bowen, you don't give him that time and space, because you know how he is. And he's playing too well for West Ham, in my opinion.
00:13:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mhm.
00:13:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mhm.
00:13:53
Yashar Alizadeh
but
00:13:54
Yashar Alizadeh
So, but like, then you look at West Ham now and you look at him saying like Jared Bowen, like he can, like he would start for anything in the Premier League. And that's like, and there's positions where for us coming back from one nil down, like to two, one is very rare.
00:14:09
Yashar Alizadeh
It was actually the first time since, um since 2013 that we've been trading for half time and we won, which is the most, isn't that crazy?
00:14:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
Really? That is insane. That's over 10 years.
00:14:19
Yashar Alizadeh
since 2000, that's over, that's 12 years since we've trailed from half time and then we won. That in itself, such a big red flag, but is what Mareska said.
00:14:31
Yashar Alizadeh
He says, we need to win ugly. And those moments we did win so ugly. So it was hideous, not even ugly.
00:14:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, then it wasn't an own goal.
00:14:37
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, it was an own goal. It was, yes, the first goal was just an absolute Pallava, right? So it's quite controversial because I think before we built, like like built up that attack,
00:14:49
Yashar Alizadeh
like Levi Cole were literally barging to Jared Bowen and it wasn't a foul. Like in my opinion, it was a foul, like a complete off the ball incident, you usually just barging to Infanores and that's a foul.
00:15:01
Yashar Alizadeh
And then from then it was like a couple of offside coals and then the deflection was, if it was his hand and stuff, it was mental.
00:15:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay. okay
00:15:10
Yashar Alizadeh
But thankfully the goal was given and then from then we had the confidence to score and then Cole Palmer does what Cole Palmer does, doesn't he?
00:15:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
Mm hmm. Mm hmm.
00:15:16
Yashar Alizadeh
like he created an attack up nothing and then he's short and then thankfully came off one per second and went in. And then now it's these little things where we need to win ugly and I think to play Brian now is the best time.
00:15:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:28
Yashar Alizadeh
However, at the same time, I always think Now, like I think when teams come from a really bad loss, for example, when Forrest lost 5-0 against Bournemouth, they come out and there was like, I'm going to go swing on O'Brien.
00:15:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:15:42
Yashar Alizadeh
And the they want to play the next game ASAP, right?
00:15:45
Yashar Alizadeh
So these are the games I'm a bit like wary about. Thankfully, it's the FA Cup first. And you're right, like i think i'm more I think I'm more interested in getting the top four than the FA Cup, because we know, I think f fa like anything can happen.
00:15:59
Yashar Alizadeh
And thankfully, we're in a position where is is we can get top four, because I think most likely now, um if the you like if the British teams are doing really well in the European um competitions, top five is Champions League.
00:16:15
Yashar Alizadeh
So so those are the moments like these are the moments we need to capitalise.
00:16:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:16:18
Yashar Alizadeh
But I think with Brian, it's more of a thing like And as you said, it's little things the manager does. Like for example, when is Chelsea was scoring a couple of goals against Brighton, he didn't change it because he, and there's little things, right?
00:16:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:16:35
Yashar Alizadeh
And a prime example against Forrest, right? You had 63% possession, but what did you do with it? and And the thing is, and you gave like the top three players so much space that Alango would,
00:16:41
Global Sports Podcast Network
So true. It is true.
00:16:50
Yashar Alizadeh
and Gibbs White the most space you can.
00:16:53
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:16:53
Yashar Alizadeh
And those are the moments. and la I don't know if you like i guess you saw the game against La Forest, right?
00:16:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, yeah.
00:16:57
Yashar Alizadeh
And it's like, and it's a set piece.
00:16:58
Global Sports Podcast Network
No, it was shocking. Yeah.
00:17:00
Yashar Alizadeh
And I think, tell me about your squad though. I think your squad is more of a, it's quite thin so like in some places i'm I'm guessing, right?
00:17:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah What I'm going to do is, i'm gonna we're going to go to the first break because we're going to run 17 minutes here and then um I'll jump straight back into it.
00:17:09
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. Yeah.
00:17:13
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:17:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
So you're just going to hear from GSPM first and then we'll run straight back into it.
00:17:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we are back for segment two. I am, of course, joined by Yashar. And we are going to speak a little bit more about Brighton. And just before we went to the break, Yashar asked me sort of what's going on with the Brighton team.
00:18:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
And to be fair, to answer your question, mate. um the So we've had issues in like a so in certain positions and they weren't really addressed in the summer window.
00:18:05
Yashar Alizadeh
ah
00:18:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
sir Centerback wasn't addressed. We didn't buy any centerbacks. And we went into the season with um Lewis Dunk and JP, so Van Hecke.
00:18:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
Lewis Dunk needs to basically hang up his boots. like it's just It's just been too much for him this season, to be fair. like so yeah yeah He's been his been there for ages.
00:18:38
Yashar Alizadeh
He's been there for all his life, hasn't he?
00:18:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Yeah, he he's he's just been having a tough time of it. And I think he needs to probably I don't think he needs to go, but he cannot go to coaching or something and like that. It would be calm or if you're going to go. like I don't think he could play ah in the Premier League anymore. um And then he goes injured. So he's another one of us at the back. He's injured. He's out for the season, I'm pretty sure. And then the other one is Adam Webster. And Adam Webster played so badly against. I think it might have even been against you.
00:19:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he played so... a Was it against you the way he got injured and come off? Either way, he played so bad in one game that he literally got so much abuse on social media that he just deleted his social media. So ease we've barely seen him at all. um And yeah, we bought, like, Air Rancassion from Derby, their 23rd. So, like, it hasn't really been addressed as much as we thought it would be.
00:19:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
um The striker position Evan Ferguson has been woeful. Danny Wilbex, he's like 34 so he's injured all the time. um And then we bought, so we we loaned out Evan Ferguson to West Ham.
00:19:56
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, which was the but is silly.
00:20:00
Global Sports Podcast Network
And then we bought in someone from Nuremberg in Bundesliga 2 who's like supposed to be like a wonder kid. and then we loaned him back there. So he bought him, but then we loaned him back straight away.
00:20:09
Yashar Alizadeh
efficient
00:20:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
So now it's literally just Welbeck, Pedro, and Ritter, but Pedro can't play up there on his own.
00:20:18
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:20:18
Global Sports Podcast Network
And Ritter is basically the same, like he's his's decent player, but he can't play up. Like in the wide positions, we have so much, even on loan, like we have enough for like, we have enough depth even on loan, just on loan.
00:20:31
Yashar Alizadeh
yeah
00:20:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
And um the midfield, we have loads of midfielders now. ah Fallbacks a little bit of an issue as well.
00:20:37
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:20:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah, the squad that we are we are struggling and I think we sign cardioglio from Yeah, yeah sort about to
00:20:47
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. fibaia Yeah.
00:20:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
and He come in and he was all right and then he got injured and then he's just out for the rest of the season as well. So Hmm
00:20:55
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. It's a yeah there's a lot of players like, like, I think the players who are watching the FA Cup is Rotta, you know, three goals and in the FA Cup.
00:21:06
Yashar Alizadeh
And a lot of players, you see them, a lot of players who might not show up in the, in the Premier League too much. Like I think in the FA Cup of cop competitions, they shine.
00:21:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:21:16
Yashar Alizadeh
And I think like, I think those are the moments where you see Rotta, I think he's the one to watch. And I wanted to ask, what do you think the reason for your terrible form is recently?
00:21:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, man. That's the thing. So when we first started going on that sort of like bad run, we I believe we are playing it switch.
00:21:35
Yashar Alizadeh
Hmm.
00:21:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Maybe it was which it was one of the radiation teams, basically one of the teams that are like in the bottom five.
00:21:42
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:21:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we played them at home and we were all just expecting to smash them basically because we started season so well.
00:21:49
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:21:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Then we drew and then we had like basically like three, I reckon in the next six games, we had like probably four or five of the bottom, like from 15 all the way down to 20 at the time.
00:22:05
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:22:07
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we literally just couldn't beat any of them. And it was just like when we play against teams who are lower level, our level came down and then even in between then like we played City and beat City and then like we went like not that in January so at the start of January we went to Arsenal and we you know we played Arsenal at Arsenal and drew with Arsenal we played well in the second half but against the bigger teams we've played apart from literally even Liverpool at Anfield went 1-0 up
00:22:17
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:22:22
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. Yeah.
00:22:34
Yashar Alizadeh
yeah
00:22:42
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:22:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Chelsea, we got, I think we went one that up in that game as well.
00:22:47
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, you were, yeah.
00:22:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
And and yeah, ended up getting better. Well, still like, and I don't know what's going on. I just feel like the injuries of, um I'm not one to blame injuries, but like, I feel like his idea, the manager's idea in his head of what he wanted, because he's got the injuries, I feel like he's, he doesn't really know what to do now.
00:22:59
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:23:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
But I still feel like he, apart from his centre back, I feel like he has enough like ah he has enough players there to work something out but it's just his idea has been a bit um screwed over so i think that's probably the main reason why this falls so bad yeah
00:23:15
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:23:23
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, there's a few reasons. I think I can imagine with a lot of teams right now, it's just a lot of, I think also like, like, I think it's a fixed congestion as well as a lot of things, isn't it? Because I think now like you see a lot of teams get injured and It's just like, it's really frustrating for teams, et cetera.
00:23:40
Yashar Alizadeh
But I think the biggest thing for this game now, it's both teams got a lot on the line. I think the manager is going to get under pressure a little bit.
00:23:46
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:23:49
Yashar Alizadeh
I know he came in this line or he came in this, um, the summer just gone and I thought, I know he's in a situation where he might not have as much pressure as other managers, but I think with the bad form and like the way Brian, I think operate as well, like they're a top 10 team who competes for things nowadays. So I think and obviously Chelsea wants to win a trophy, you know, conference. I think the conference ah we're most likely to win, but the only reason why I'm thinking is it's like, again, that's like a Mickey Mouse trophy nowadays, isn't it? It's like a trophy for like a club like Chelsea, like,
00:24:25
Yashar Alizadeh
there's a Champions League in Europa League, which are like quite high stature. So I think having a trophy, especially the way we lost against Newcastle in the Carabao Cup isn't isn't good enough. So again, both teams got a lot on the line and we're going to see.
00:24:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think ah think for when it comes to the conference league, the fact that you're playing a completely different 11 every time, not like like that you've the fact you've got two 11s, that is literally like when I used to play career mode in like 2018 or 2017.
00:24:47
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:24:54
Yashar Alizadeh
yeah like football manager, isn't it?
00:24:57
Global Sports Podcast Network
Like, yeah, like that's that literally, I've never seen that actually be a thing before.
00:24:58
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:25:02
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:25:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
And but didn't you win every game as well, apart from like the qualifying game?
00:25:04
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. We want every single game.
00:25:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, you've won every game with your second team.
00:25:08
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. Oh, second team. Yeah. Yes. Yes. Yes. Cause cold palm was already registered to the team until, uh, to the round of 16 is when we're going to re register players.
00:25:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
I reckon you can re-register in the semi-final, you'll be alright.
00:25:20
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. I don't think we have to re-register him because like, yeah, it's cause like I was looking at the only team that I think has some sort of a Lestatius Florentina and even them, they're not doing well in Serie R and like, Oh my God.
00:25:30
Global Sports Podcast Network
I'm actually in it. No. Imagine they actually beat you, that'd be bad.
00:25:35
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:25:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:25:35
Yashar Alizadeh
And then at that point I thought I'd jump on like the Brighton bandwagon. We have to, try but we have to transfer.
00:25:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah
00:25:43
Yashar Alizadeh
So like we was talking about like a combined 11, that'd be quick, like a quick one. We can go through if you want.
00:25:48
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah Yeah, so um after you hear from our partners at Zencast, so guys, we're going to run through a combined 11, which isn't probably going to be pretty. So if you want to tune out, I completely understand, but, you know, stay by just to see, because I'm going to try to fit that well, making that spoiler alert. So I'll see you on the next, the other side of this advert.
00:26:33
Global Sports Podcast Network
And we are back. We're in the final segment. Myself and Yashar are going to be doing our combined 11, Chelsea and Brighton. What are the rules?
00:26:44
Global Sports Podcast Network
Are we doing players that are injured or we're not doing players that are injured?
00:26:48
Yashar Alizadeh
I think we should do full squad. Full, full healthy, full healthy squad.
00:26:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, for every everyone's healthy. okay Yeah.
00:26:53
Yashar Alizadeh
Everyone's back, the full, the full shebang. We should, alive we should ah should we do a 43 flat?
00:26:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah we could yeah Yeah, that can run us fine, no problem.
00:27:00
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. Yeah, that'll do. Let's start with goalkeeper.
00:27:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
okay yeah are you are you are you picking you're not just picking because you have nine of them don't you so you're not picking any of the others because aren't they all better than sanchez you have 11 now i swear they're all better than sanchez anyway so yeah
00:27:04
Yashar Alizadeh
I think we all know what's going to go on here.
00:27:15
Yashar Alizadeh
I think we have 11.
00:27:20
Yashar Alizadeh
I think my nan's better than Sanchez and you know, ah she's never really played football, bless her. But I think we, I think we can both agree Van Bergen has to be in there.
00:27:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, if everyone can ask me there, but that performance gets a lot of the forage, mate. He's on fraud watch, I hope he knows.
00:27:34
Yashar Alizadeh
I think with him is like that game, I don't think it was really his fault to be fair. I think it was like the team in front of him.
00:27:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
I know, to be fair, one of the goals, he's actually possible to mate here, and he's got nutmeg that is near post.
00:27:41
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. Yeah. Yeah.
00:27:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's unacceptable, though.
00:27:45
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. That's a Courtois level. Yeah.
00:27:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:27:47
Yashar Alizadeh
That's a Courtois. So we used to have him, we used to put like, we have to put like a dress on him to put like, you know, just like stop them going through.
00:27:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
Okay, and then Jordan.
00:27:54
Yashar Alizadeh
Okay. So bad stuff for us, goalkeeper in net.
00:27:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, so Jordan going right back to left back.
00:27:57
Yashar Alizadeh
Right. Yeah. Right. by Like you have Tariq Lamptey and I don't think for me, I
00:28:01
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, no, absolutely not. Reece James, put him in there, mate.
00:28:04
Yashar Alizadeh
me personally rece james think malauusa has a I to say, but I think James wins that title.
00:28:10
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean, you argue between the two of them because I'm not put into reading up to anywhere near. Although, all I can give you is Joel Boatman, that's it.
00:28:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, I think so.
00:28:23
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, Rhys James arrived, but we've got two.
00:28:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
A full fit Reece James, mate, is...
00:28:27
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, four feet.
00:28:27
Global Sports Podcast Network
But Jovah was probably more of one of our most consistent players this season, to be fair.
00:28:34
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:28:34
Global Sports Podcast Network
And he got Nicola Rice head off.
00:28:34
Yashar Alizadeh
Plus, like he plays centre half as well, doesn't he? So that's another position he can.
00:28:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
He can, yeah.
00:28:37
Yashar Alizadeh
So that's a really good thing about him. Yeah. So, yeah, two centre half. So I think we have to put Fafana in there so far this season, Fafana. Yeah. He's injured for the rest of the season, unfortunately, but shocked shock shock.
00:28:50
Yashar Alizadeh
It's just third time, actually, third time that he's injured shock.
00:28:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
That is actually mad.
00:28:54
Yashar Alizadeh
I'm not surprised.
00:28:55
Global Sports Podcast Network
That is mad.
00:28:56
Yashar Alizadeh
It's really bad, especially when we spent 80 million on him is even worse. So, but yeah, we have Fafana and
00:29:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
I mean the other...
00:29:04
Yashar Alizadeh
I think Eagle has something to say as well.
00:29:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
I would just put Van Hecker in there because Dunks not getting anywhere near there, Eagles probably not. I don't think Levi Colwell's been that good and i was really hot I was really high on him but I don't know when he runs, he's just like he's running in quicksand man, not seeing anything like it.
00:29:13
Yashar Alizadeh
No, I don't think so. yeah I agree.
00:29:21
Yashar Alizadeh
Plus he gave the ball to Bowen to let him score. I think with Levi Colwell is he's not the fastest so he needs for Fana to track back for him.
00:29:31
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah yeah those are a good mix because Van Hecke has got some of the best passing stats that I've all sent them back to the league yeah so or Kaneo Blue you can basically pick either or but who's your left back again oh no yeah okay it's gone this season's got to be Kukarela I think
00:29:31
Yashar Alizadeh
So yeah Van Hecke and we have Fana and that's a good partnership. Oh he does, yeah. yeah He's an unbelievable young talent.
00:29:41
Yashar Alizadeh
yeah Left back, who do you have? You have the Square Rio, don't you?
00:29:50
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, Kukriella, I think Kukriella has done really well this season. Yeah. Yeah, Kukriella, I think he showed a lot, especially with a lot of Chelsea fans, one in the summer, just because he was horrendous.
00:30:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah,
00:30:03
Yashar Alizadeh
He's done really well to actually come back and actually got a lot of assists and goals this season.
00:30:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
I can't believe I'm actually playing Kakerela in there. That's mad.
00:30:10
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, I know Kukriella's in there. We've got your ex-player, obviously.
00:30:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah. Yeah, everyone in the whole country, apart from Chospas, hate Kakerela, to be fair.
00:30:14
Yashar Alizadeh
ah
00:30:18
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, literally.
00:30:21
Yashar Alizadeh
We've got the flat free.
00:30:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
But... Can I say though, yeah, he go probably gonna be he's probably be PFA-nominated.
00:30:22
Yashar Alizadeh
We've got, I think I said it needs to be in there ah again. Another player really good this season. Really, really good. Young player. Yeah.
00:30:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
The 100% him and Gavibirch.
00:30:33
Yashar Alizadeh
And we have two. Yeah. Like him or your him or grab a bet. You'll win that one. I probably, probably need to watch grab a bet if they win the Premier League, but is, um,
00:30:38
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:30:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
The belabor, belabor.
00:30:42
Yashar Alizadeh
the two centimetres, two centimetres, like I've got to give them to what it needs to be in that. Is it Minibar?
00:30:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, belabor has to be in there, mate.
00:30:51
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:30:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's unreal.
00:30:52
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:30:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's unreal.
00:30:53
Yashar Alizadeh
He is unreal. And it probably ends with Fernandez.
00:30:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, but apparently um he's back with his misses now, so he's gotten worse again.
00:31:02
Yashar Alizadeh
For him is he left, he left her to focus on a single life. So it's like, like he got eight goals and four assists in nine games. He was tearing up and then suddenly he's like, you know what? He's like, this club is life aim for me.
00:31:12
Global Sports Podcast Network
um
00:31:15
Yashar Alizadeh
He said, he said, nah, this is too stressful.
00:31:16
Global Sports Podcast Network
He missed that one and then he went back.
00:31:18
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. Now he's comfortable. He's putting the relationship pounds on, you know, like he's in, he's in a bit more.
00:31:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
know ah
00:31:26
Yashar Alizadeh
Now he's slacking off a little bit.
00:31:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:31:27
Yashar Alizadeh
I'm like, no wonder, no wonder he's slacking off, you know, getting hungry no more, you know, he ain't, he ain't got that drive in him.
00:31:29
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah He doesn't want it. but
00:31:35
Yashar Alizadeh
I like, I think, yeah, we have to involve Enzo Fernandez.
00:31:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
ah again
00:31:38
Yashar Alizadeh
I think so far this season he's been really good.
00:31:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah definitely we're
00:31:42
Yashar Alizadeh
I think the midfills really improved a lot for Chels.
00:31:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
going to put copper in this by the way okay yeah to be fair with that we can put forward to the other we keep rotating them because we can't decide so yeah
00:31:45
Yashar Alizadeh
So we've got... Co-Palmer has to be right wing, yeah.
00:31:50
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:31:53
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. Co-Palmer probably needs to be up there. Or we can either swap out ends with bananas and put in Co-Palmer and then there's up to...
00:31:59
Global Sports Podcast Network
i don't have anything for you mate i don't have anything for you
00:32:04
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. Yeah, it's up. Yeah, probably the top three. And top three, yes, it's like the final third.
00:32:13
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:32:13
Yashar Alizadeh
Co-op needs to be in their right wing. um Obviously, I think for obvious reasons, he's unbelievable.
00:32:15
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:32:17
Yashar Alizadeh
21 goal contributions in so far this late in the Premier League is just be unbelievable.
00:32:21
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that's man, he's a midfielder, that's crazy.
00:32:23
Yashar Alizadeh
He's a midfielder and.
00:32:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
um Yeah, but the only rule is that you can have whoever you want on the left, mate, honestly, you can have, you can have Tom Boney on the left if you want, but but it's going to have to be Danny Welbeck up front, mate, it has to be.
00:32:39
Yashar Alizadeh
but We can have your cat in the left wing if you wanted to.
00:32:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
he
00:32:41
Yashar Alizadeh
yeah Just walked across the screen.
00:32:42
Global Sports Podcast Network
She does this all the time, every single time, honestly.
00:32:45
Yashar Alizadeh
yeah Just sort of really fair furry, furry tail walk past.
00:32:47
Global Sports Podcast Network
well
00:32:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:32:50
Yashar Alizadeh
I'm thinking, in Coach, ah she really wants to go left wing.
00:32:52
Global Sports Podcast Network
She doesn't care about filming a podcast, honestly. This is her whole, yeah, this is her whole yard.
00:32:57
Yashar Alizadeh
She's like, I'll do what I want, actually. She's like, it's actually my podcast. Yes.
00:33:02
Global Sports Podcast Network
But yeah.
00:33:03
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, probably left.
00:33:03
Global Sports Podcast Network
um that Well, I am a sancher.
00:33:03
Yashar Alizadeh
I'll give it Neto left wing. I think Neto's been really good as well. Yeah, I think Neto has been really good. I think he can play both wings as well. So I think he played really well.
00:33:11
Global Sports Podcast Network
He needs a couple more couple more goals though, don't he?
00:33:14
Yashar Alizadeh
He does. like I think with him is he's so hard worker when he tracks back.
00:33:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that's the whole issue with Matoma.
00:33:19
Yashar Alizadeh
Then he'd like when he's I think with yeah. Oh, I'll come at home. What a player. I forgot.
00:33:24
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, but not not at the moment.
00:33:25
Yashar Alizadeh
I think no, not at the moment.
00:33:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
this and he like it cause his What he does is good, but it's just like his output is so poor.
00:33:32
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, I think we need.
00:33:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
I think he's got five goals and three assists or two assists.
00:33:36
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, he needs a bit more.
00:33:37
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah
00:33:38
Yashar Alizadeh
I think center forward, I think you've got to put Rotter in there.
00:33:40
Global Sports Podcast Network
but and know danny webe rutter can go i Yeah, we don't care about that.
00:33:43
Yashar Alizadeh
Welbs. That guy, Welbs. That guy, Welbs up front.
00:33:45
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, that guy was, when he was starting the season, he was cooking.
00:33:47
Yashar Alizadeh
Fair enough. Too fair.
00:33:49
Global Sports Podcast Network
He's got a free kick as well.
00:33:50
Yashar Alizadeh
I think Nicholas Jackson isn't good enough, and Mark Way isn't good enough either.
00:33:51
Global Sports Podcast Network
It's unreal.
00:33:55
Yashar Alizadeh
so No.
00:33:56
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, you know, I thought Nick is, I thought Nick was on the redemption.
00:34:00
Yashar Alizadeh
No, I'm not someone who rates him. I think, you know, seven games without a goal now, he's just, yeah, like it's not him, man.
00:34:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
No.
00:34:06
Yashar Alizadeh
Like he ain't it.
00:34:06
Global Sports Podcast Network
i
00:34:06
Yashar Alizadeh
Like he ain't it. He ain't it.
00:34:08
Global Sports Podcast Network
So what about, why not Jafelix or Kudkula?
00:34:12
Yashar Alizadeh
Jalf Felix has not played.
00:34:14
Global Sports Podcast Network
Not for this, night not in not in terms of the combined, but just in general, like why has the why were they not given on being given chances?
00:34:18
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah. Yeah.
00:34:21
Yashar Alizadeh
I think with Jalf, like I think with Jalf, I think prime example now is going to AC Milan now for a loan and like he scored in his debut.
00:34:26
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:34:28
Yashar Alizadeh
I think because he plays in the same position as It's called Parma.
00:34:32
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh, OK.
00:34:32
Yashar Alizadeh
And I think that in itself, I think, you know, you ain't going to drop him.
00:34:35
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, you can't really put a false line in with a 10 like parliament.
00:34:36
Yashar Alizadeh
And no,
00:34:39
Global Sports Podcast Network
It doesn't work, does it?
00:34:40
Yashar Alizadeh
yeah and in kuu you might also have a chocolate teapot up front.
00:34:43
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:34:43
Yashar Alizadeh
There's literally useless. He is absolutely useless. And like he is, yeah, again, he like he's as useful as a chocolate teapot melts.
00:34:50
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah.
00:34:50
Yashar Alizadeh
Not literally, no, no. He ain't it. So.
00:34:54
Global Sports Podcast Network
when When you signed him, he was on madness when you signed him.
00:34:57
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, he had 21 goals and 19 assists in the Bundesliga, which was like, those stats were just like, what? Like really?
00:35:04
Global Sports Podcast Network
That's actually it' insane, that's insane.
00:35:05
Yashar Alizadeh
Like 40 goal contributions in, I don't know, it's like, like, I think 34.
00:35:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
they play They play four less, because there's 18 teams here.
00:35:12
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, they're here for less games, which is 32 games, which is, oh my, that is, again, in itself is unbelievable.
00:35:17
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, definitely.
00:35:18
Yashar Alizadeh
We saw him and he comes in and we're like, really?
00:35:23
Yashar Alizadeh
like some sort of like a different version of Timo Warner, because Timo Warner scored like 20, 20, cause Timo Warner scored 28 goals before we signed him.
00:35:25
Global Sports Podcast Network
Oh my God.
00:35:31
Yashar Alizadeh
And like, like it was Liverpool city Chelsea were after him and we got him and we were like, yeah. and they ah yeah me go So that's a combined 11.
00:35:36
Global Sports Podcast Network
yeah yeah no it's not bad to be fair but like at the start of the season start of the season it was peak because we were having loads of bright players in there and and now yeah i mean yeah some of them some of those players apart from wellbecker i imagine are probably going to get moves anyway so like belabra is going to go for helipedes helipedes
00:35:39
Yashar Alizadeh
That's quite a good combined 11 to be fair.
00:35:43
Yashar Alizadeh
You snuck in there.
00:35:47
Yashar Alizadeh
and Yeah, you snuck in a few there. I'm impressed how you snuck in. It's not going to fit, that guy well was in there.
00:36:00
Yashar Alizadeh
um Yeah, depends.
00:36:04
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, that's the thing. ah Like, same as corsadoes in 105 million, probably would go around the same, probably a bit more actually nowadays.
00:36:09
Global Sports Podcast Network
Yeah, probably. Yeah, he's a little bit more technical than Kaisela is, but Kaisela is a better up here when it comes to defending and his defensive work.
00:36:11
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:36:15
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah.
00:36:20
Yashar Alizadeh
more of a ball-playing centre, like ball-winning midfield or any.
00:36:23
Global Sports Podcast Network
Well, yeah, yeah, Belayba could do all of it, but just he can't do that bit as well as Kaisela can at the moment.
00:36:30
Yashar Alizadeh
Yeah, you could probably learn that, wouldn't you?
