Welcome and Introduction
00:00:02
Speaker
Welcome to the Italian football podcast. Just
Rapid Fire Choices
00:00:06
Speaker
before we let you go, we play this rapid fire game. I'll give you two or three options and you tell me which one you prefer. Come on. It's a bit of fun and you don't have to explain if you don't want to.
00:00:19
Speaker
So, the first one, very simple. Everyone in the world has been asked. Both, both, both. No, but to everyone. I'm not going to choose. Okay, if you don't want to choose, just say both. So the first one, everyone in the world has been asked this and has an opinion on it. Lionel Messi or Cristiano Ronaldo? Look, as a manager, I played against both and so I can't choose between them and I don't think
00:00:47
Speaker
it's a personal choice and I don't really have a personal choice. They are two phenomenal players that wrote the history of European and world football in the last two decades.
Football Legends Debate
00:01:01
Speaker
Maradona or Pele?
00:01:07
Speaker
I met Billy when I was a teenager, back in Switzerland. No, I'm not going to choose. Both, both.
Free Kick Favorites
00:01:17
Speaker
Who was better at free kicks, Gianfranco Zola or Roberto Banjo? I played with both, more with Gianfranco, so I can tell you that Gianfranco's quality in the free kicks is top notch.
00:01:35
Speaker
Yeah, I'll choose Gianfranco Zona.
Football Humor
00:01:37
Speaker
Who was the funnier person? Gaza or Dennis Wise? Both fun in different ways.
Culinary Preferences
00:01:45
Speaker
So pasta or fish and chips? I think you can answer that one for me. You know my answer. I know. I have a big debate in my house when it comes to that.
City Beauty Comparisons
00:01:58
Speaker
Rome or London? Oh my gosh. Oh my gosh. Well,
00:02:06
Speaker
You live in London. I live in London for so many years, but also Rome. I lived in Rome and Rome is a beautiful city. I mean, it's very romantic and it's very historical, you know, cultural, food-wise. I'm not going to choose both. If I could, I would spend six months in Rome and six months in London.
Legendary Defenders
00:02:29
Speaker
Sounds nice. Paolo Maldini or Franco Baresi?
00:02:34
Speaker
How can I choose? That's difficult.
Scudetto Predictions
00:02:39
Speaker
Who will win the Scudetto this year? Inter, Milan, Juve or Napoli? Inter looks very strong, very resilient, very consistent as well. Milan did very well to win the Scudetto a couple of years ago.
00:03:05
Speaker
Napoli, amazing. Not sure they can reproduce such a historical season. And the Uwe is always dangerous. I'll say intro Uwe.
Pizza Topping Controversy
00:03:17
Speaker
And finally, pineapple on pizza, food heaven or food hell.
00:03:26
Speaker
No, come on. Come on. Let's be serious. Exactly. I'm with you all the way. Thank you so much, Roberto. Thank you so much for joining and we wish you all the best. Thank you.
