Speaker: Welcome to the Italian football podcast. The only last thing is Leonardo Panucci. We've got to have a word of him. I know there's been fake news going on, but regardless of the fake news
Speaker: if Leonardo Bonucci is not starting, a must -win champion, I mean, you've been building a route now, basically, they're not gonna qualify. And Bonucci's gone there to play for a Champions League team, and he's not been starting against an Italian team that he knows, like the back of his hand, he's not being picked to start in this kind of game. And I think that sums up how this move has gone for him, what disaster it's been. And I would not be surprised if he leaves in January, because if you're not starting with Leonardo Bonucci,
Speaker: in a game like this, then unless he's got an injury, which I don't think he did, then, yeah, it's not a good look. And in fact, I think it's very sad, actually. I think it's very sad that a 36 -year -old who's had such a legendary career has basically been forced to leave Italy because no Italian clubs want him, has gone to Germany and he's gone to Union Berlin. Forget about how badly they're doing, but he can't even get into this Union Berlin team.
Speaker: and he's sitting there on the bench. I mean, that's sad. That's really sad. I feel sorry for him. I actually feel sorry for him, to be honest. I think, I hope that he comes back to Italy in January. There must be somebody that will take him. Well, but he needs to play in a team that plays in a back three. Maybe he should have retired. Yeah, but Beauty and Berlin played in a back three. They don't even pick him up. He should have retired. I think he should have retired. I'm just saying him playing in a back four in the city yard. No thanks. No thanks.
Speaker: Yeah, let's move on to insert. I just got to say that his statement is just because it's truly shocking because Union Berlin denied it vehemently. And then he put on Instagram without being surprised anymore. I once again read invented news about myself. I have constructive discussions with the coach on a daily basis. I was welcomed very well. And we all absolutely want to get out of this situation, especially for the fans, extraordinary for their closeness and dedication. I've always respected every coach's decision. And that was the case yesterday, too.
Speaker: As I've already had the opportunity to write over time in a team game, the Wii always comes before the eye. The desire to play was unquestionably great, but today the individual definitely takes second place compared to the need to defend the team. Because in the end, this trending news ends up damaging the team, and not me, who is accustomed to certain unpleasant situations to say the least. Check carefully before speaking, Forzonion.
Speaker: Um, so, you know, they, the union Berlin have denied it. He's very strongly denied it. So, you know, it's, uh, I think, I think, I don't think there's been a problem and he was furious on that. Of course players don't want to be benched, but this is just, again, some certain members of the Italian media who just invent stuff for the sake of. Yeah. Community notes. Here we go.
