This is none of that fake. We gotta be censored, we gotta say the right thing. None of that. None of that. And if you haven't picked that up already, you better pick it up quick. All right. We're jumping straight into this shit right now, Marco. Are you ready?
Marco: Listo.
Project 90 Soccer: Listo, para listo we. Okay, Marco. Transfers, two big ones in particular, deadline. Just ended. Enzo Fernandez. 125 million. It went through. Okay. Man City picked him up. And Bradley Barcala from PSG, the French winger. Okay. Liverpool picked him up. Okay. That was a big rumor for a while. They made it happen. Some notable mentions. Gabriel Jesus, last minute, went to Barcelona. Wasn't I didn't see that one coming. Kind of came out of nowhere. but on Enzo Fernandez is our Enzo Fernandez's tongue twister. On that transfer, what do you do you see that being sort of a loss for Chelsea? Do you see Chelsea just saying, we'll take the money for now, we'll deal with it later? Do you think that impacts Chelsea going forward? Do you think Man City's really gonna start just building around him in that midfield? They got Elliott Anderson in there too. They've made some big pickups, they still got Kovacic. What do you what do you what do you feel about this Enzo Fernandez transfer? British record,
Marco: Honestly.
Project 90 Soccer: British record, by the way.
Marco: British record, yes. Boku bucks for the the most punchable face in the league. Boku
Project 90 Soccer: Cute.
Marco: bucks for Enzo Fernandez, who I don't know, man, but I think the biggest biggest hype from for him and getting this bag is on the world stage, which he had some solid games, he had some solid bangers. But
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: ultimately, I'm not entirely sure he's gonna mesh 100% this for this season with Man City, with what
Project 90 Soccer: Okay.
Marco: they got going on. So I feel it'll be less of a loss in the long run for Chelsea, right? There may be an
Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm.
Marco: immediate impact, but if they were willing to let him go for that amount of money, it's something that Chelsea does, bro. They buy and sell players all the time. They have new players coming in all the time. So this
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: didn't even come to me as a shock. It more came to me as a shock of where he went. I did not see him go to Man City. So
Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm.
Marco: I don't know, man. we'll see. How he does, we'll see to your point, right? You got Anderson, Cherokee is balling his ass off this last game. Balling his brains out, right? So it would
Project 90 Soccer: d th that I can't even believe I forgot. Yeah. Yeah.
Marco: be interesting to see that dynamic that he he's in that he that he presents or creates with the team. So yeah, man. Shout out to him. They got a bag, man. City. They're in the business of spending money and getting big players. So we'll we'll just see in the long run how this plays out. But I
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: to answer your initial question, I don't see this as a crazy loss to Chelsea. Now, if you don't talk about as a whole, I mean losing Kukureya and and and Enzo as a big name, then that's a different
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: conversation. 'Cause you're talking about the overall impact of all these players coming out. So I don't know, man. What do you think?
Project 90 Soccer: Well, I see Seth Fabrigast obviously is a new coach, right? So he's letting these guys go. Big names. They brought them in origin
Marco: Negative.
Project 90 Soccer: what?
Marco: Sesk fabric has coma.
Project 90 Soccer: Ces Fabrigas. I always I always I
Marco: But Xavi Alonso.
Project 90 Soccer: always confuse the two. Shabi Alonso, yes. so they originally brought Fernandez in, Cukuray, all these guys, right? And he's just letting them go. And these guys are somewhat, you can say, in their prime, right? So he's getting big, big money for these guys. I'm assuming he's got other players in mind that he wants to bring in, the system he wants to play. So I I see it as a loss, maybe initially, like you said, right? Two big players, starting players for Chelsea. But then ultimately, Chelsea wasn't winning. They weren't winning the league. They weren't going advancing
Marco: Great point, great point.
Project 90 Soccer: in the Champions League. So with that being said, you have these big players and people willing to spend the money on them. It's almost like they were there, it wasn't working. You might as well get your money for them, right? And rebuild under a new coach and and start a whole new sort of chapter for Chelsea. That's kind of how I see it going. And yeah, you know, Fernandez, he's obviously right here. Thirty-one goals for Chelsea, so he's not the biggest goal scorer, but you know, he's in regards
Marco: And that's overall all competitions.
Project 90 Soccer: that's all competitions, just goals in general. Yeah. So most people look at Fernandez, say he's one of the best midfielders in the world, right? But it didn't work at Chelsea. Maybe, maybe it'll work in Man City, maybe he unlocks a new level. I don't know. I've never seen it personally from Fernandez to be that guy that you build a team around. I think he's a good complimentary player maybe that you can have around other great players, maybe like Cherokee, like you said. So we're gonna have to wait and see. Honestly, for a hundred twenty five million though, I don't know, dude.
Marco: And Antho Antho, I like fired up players. Guys are like are always like, let's say like a I'm a man you guy, right? Like a a Roy Keane. Like
Project 90 Soccer: Mm.
Marco: going after Mother Effers, bitching, right? But holding
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: his players accountable, right? And demanding excellence and demanding for them to to push to win each game. Enzo, he just likes to complain and cry. And I think this is one of the his his worst attributes as a player. So I think if that starts to a dial it, if he starts to dial that back a little bit, which it may be his character, his personality, and that's just who he is, but I
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: think that also plays a role in in his his each game that he plays and overall can impact the rest of the team.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, well, I mean, we saw that what? In the final, the World Cup final. I mean, he completely lost his cool, it completely unnecessary to foul Kubarsi the way he did, got a red card, got sent off. And, you know, that could have, you know, Spain was still the better team, but that could have changed the game, right? Now they were playing with ten men. So yeah, I think his weakest attribute as a player is just his attitude, really. Ultimately, it's his attitude. I think he's his ego sort of inflated, especially after the World Cup that they won. I think that happened a lot. Yeah, exactly. And it just it's a detriment, dude, to your team, to your own your own personal the way fans view you. I mean, he was getting booed at Chelsea like that. I mean, he they even want him there. You know what I mean? They didn't want him there, period.
Marco: Of that do you think went into that decision coming off of the World Cup to where, like, look, there's a possibility this guy will leave. He's still a big piece with Chelsea and an important piece. But how much of that outs above Chavez Alonso and the the sporting directors and owners have to do with that decision? Because that can potentially put a damper on the rest of the team, because everywhere you go, he's gonna get boots. How much do you think went into that?
Project 90 Soccer: I think they probably considered it from the from the the manager standpoint, Chabi Alonso, I think I think it was more like he has a certain style or system and he just doesn't like Fernandez, how he plays, how he fits into it. I'm sure like I said earlier, I feel like he's got his eyes on some players around Europe right now that this amount of money, 125 million, right? He and Cukuraya, right? They sold him as well. I mean, with all that money, you can go if you have good scouts. You can find some maybe lesser known players that are on the rise still, but also you could bring in a big name, like another big name that can potentially complement the team a lot better than Fernandez would. Right. So yeah.
Marco: So But they'll probably have to sit on that money at least until the winter transfer window because
Project 90 Soccer: Well, they have to now, yeah.
Marco: yeah, a lot of the windows closed down. I mean, well, you have Saudi Arabia still open,
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: Portugal I think a couple of days I don't know. But like all the top leagues and where all the players play, like for example, Spain or wherever the case may be. I mean the window's closed.
Project 90 Soccer: Done. Yeah, he's gonna have to wait, man. So we'll have to see if they can hold on, right? Chelsea, they they had a a sketchy win this weekend, which we'll get to. But another big transfer, I want to close out the transfer talk here, was Bradley Barcla, right? PSG. The dude didn't really play, right? He's all even for France, right? He's just coming off the bench, coming off the bench. Now for Liverpool, obviously they got rid of Mo Salah, right? One of their he's a winger essentially, an outside forward. So Barcla sort of fits that position. Really well, right? They spent a hundred and seven million on him, potentially up to a hundred and twenty three with add-ons and all that. That's a lot of money, right? They didn't spend that much when they got Salah. They didn't they they haven't really dropped a bag like that. So do you think Barcla comes into Liverpool and really makes that impact for that price tag in part in especially?
Marco: Frankly, I love that signing. I love it for him. I love it for for for Liverpool, right?
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: and I love it that he didn't go to Arsenal. Arsenal wants all these guys and they just they just for some reason can't get the the ink to dry on on on the contract or for them to
Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm.
Marco: even hold the pen. So yeah, man, Barkala hell of a player. I
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: I think if he played on another national team. Where he wouldn't be overshadowed by the Dues, the Dembelez, the Mbappes. We'd
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: probably be seeing this guy as a superstar, on in another nation, or or whatever the case may be. But yeah, man, he wasn't gaining a t a ton of run. So I love it, especially for what Liverpool is is getting a new identity and they're going into in a very different direction from when they were with the Mo Salah era and the the older guys that that that left the club. But yeah, ultimately the man, I love it for him and I can't wait to see him on Saturdays and Sundays.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, and Barkle is always the guy with the national team and with club. Like he was never given really that full opportunity to be the starter week after week to really get out there. Granted, there were bet there are good players around him, right? So obviously Liverpool now spending that kind of money, you'd imagine they're gonna bring him in, they're gonna use him. Like he's gonna be on the starting lineup. That's obviously I would imagine the vision they have for it. So this might be the opportunity for him to we've already seen how good he is when he does come on, right? So to give him regular playing time, I mean, this could be a massive breakout season for him and ultimately can help Liverpool. And coming coming out of like the transfer talk for Liverpool was this past weekend here, now moving into the Premier League, they tied two to two versus Nottingham Forest. So, you know, you look at a signing like that now, it kinda it it's sort of justified in a sense where they need that player to just take it to that next level, really threaten all these defenses, especially when they play better teams. This is Nottingham Forest we're talking about. So when you come up against the Man Cities, Chelsea's, Man United's, you're gonna need that
Marco: Look. Look,
Project 90 Soccer: threat.
Marco: look, former Champions League winners, Nottingham Forest. I I owe I enjoy watching Nottingham Forest play. They compete.
Project 90 Soccer: Yes.
Marco: One Sunday they'll get scraped by four or five goals, and the next Sunday they're beating or they're tying to Liverpool. Right?
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: Does that say more about Liverpool tying Notre Ham Forest or Notre Ham Forest competing, right, and getting that point against a top five team, if we want to call for if we
Project 90 Soccer: Right.
Marco: if we want to call them a top five team, because they are. and just to close the loop on on Barkala, that guy's has some swagger to him. So
Project 90 Soccer: yeah.
Marco: He's gonna bring some some flair, some swagger, going up and down the flanks. But to your point, man, maybe he is that guy that on those games where you're you're looking for that goal, you're looking for that one zero or that two one, for example, against Dunningham, where this guy can make a play and and make something happen so so they can take the three point tone. but before we move on, you know me, I like to jump all over the place before we move on to
Project 90 Soccer: Pin it.
Marco: the next Premier League results.
Project 90 Soccer: Yes.
Marco: Honorable mention, Flo Balligan, Everton debacle, Eddie Klira
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: does not go to Monaco because of that, because Monaco wasn't able to free up a transfer spot for Eddie Lira. So ultimately, I'm sad for my Mexican 5'8 Eddie Lida dominant guy in the midfield in the World Cup for Mexico. I'm sad
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: that that transfer didn't happen. And but ultimately, man, I guess it came down to a medical. And a couple minutes before the window was about to close. Flo called it and he's like, look, I don't like the way they treated me or how they were saying my medical was going, so he ultimately decided to stay puts and he stays in France. But something is I was something I was reading earlier was he was not registered for the Waifa Conference League or any of the European matches that they have coming up because I mean Monaco already had plans that this guy was gone.
Project 90 Soccer: Balogun, yeah. Wow. So I mean that sucks because you would you see that that would have been a win-win for USA and for Mexico, right? You get Balogun, one of your best strikers, starting striker from the World Cup, to move to the Premier League, best league in the world, right? To to really prove yourself as a striker, one of the best leagues. And then to have Eric Lita, who was a standout player for Mexico. Getting that move to Europe, right? Now both of them falling through. Sucks for the national teams, right? but yeah, man, there's been a there's been a few like same thing with Alvarez as well. Athletico Madrid, just nothing happened. He's there, he's
Marco: Yeah.
Project 90 Soccer: staying. So we'll see how how that sort of plays out. But in terms of like CONCACAF, right? USA and Mexico, we've really seen, you know, the moves of Middlesbrough, right? For like Sebastian Burhalter. we've seen some of the Mexican players move, make some transfers, but really no big shifts or movements. Pulisic
Marco: We used.
Project 90 Soccer: still finding form. He's really not even starting right now. McKenny's just doing his thing over at Uva, but nothing big from Mexico. Yeah, what's up?
Marco: Sorry to cut off, my guy. But with Politicians I get any playing time under Ruben
Project 90 Soccer: Mm.
Marco: Aberin, screams that he's gone. I know we had this conversation. It screams
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah. Yeah.
Marco: that he may be gone. winter transfer window. And I also read, I like, you know me, I like to read. I
Project 90 Soccer: yeah.
Marco: I used to be a librarian when I was younger.
Project 90 Soccer: Ha ha.
Marco: that there was also potential talks about him going to Tottenham. So I
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: don't know man, him coming back to Premier League, I like that, but I don't like that he's not getting any playing time.
Project 90 Soccer: I don't either. It's not good. It's not good for the Captain America, man. This guy's in his prime. Dude, he's twenty seven, twenty-eight. He needs to be stuck he needs to be playing week in, week out, right? I also saw rumors of maybe Roma. AS Roma, right? Or another team in the SettiA. But then
Marco: Dig it. Dig it.
Project 90 Soccer: I would like Rome. I think Rome would be be good. I think the SettiA is a fitting league for him, to be honest. but then there's the whole New York City FC, right? Which we talked about, he'd be home, he'd be back in America. Guaranteed to pretty much be a starter no matter what, just be the the face of the club. So regardless of where he does go, I think he is gonna go, right? I don't think Milan's looking too good for him. We also saw from Milan Jimenez, right? Santi Jimenez. Didn't you end up going to where? Porto, right? Yeah,
Marco: Porto, porto.
Project 90 Soccer: so he's out, which is a good move for him, right? He needs to he needs to find his feet again. But yeah, man, between Mexico and the United States, man, they need to get their fucking players firing again.
Marco: Let's let's wrap this up. Where do you grade the US transfer window? And I'll let you know where I grade the
Project 90 Soccer: Mexican.
Marco: Mexican transfer window.
Project 90 Soccer: For the United States, ooh man, honestly, man, Balogun fell through. We saw Burr Halter go overseas. Pulisic didn't end up going anywhere. McKenney's still where he's at. Hmm, man. I'll give it. I mean, honestly, it's just a flat C for me. Nothing big happened, nothing small. Like it's just very kind of neutral. No big moves. Yeah, man, I just give it a flat C. I know Middlesbrough's a big deal. It's a big move as well, but also it is the championship. It's not the Premier League. It's still a good move, but in terms of grading it, like the United States players really making big moves, I don't I don't see any more than a C. Yeah.
Marco: Just just didn't blow your socks off.
Project 90 Soccer: It did not blow my socks off at all, dude. So we'll see. Maybe that changes. I don't know. But as of right now, I'm looking at a C.
Marco: Well my socks are still on. I initially I would say last week I was gonna grade this an F. Because I mean nothing happened, bro. You have La
Project 90 Soccer: Nothing.
Marco: Or you have La Ormiga who went to Olympiacos, we touched on that, right?
Project 90 Soccer: Yes.
Marco: nothing happened with Elton Alvarez. He stayed he's looks like he stayed with West Ham, he's in the championship. Ro Jimenez, this deal was done during the World Cup, right? He went back to Wolves, Wolverhampton. but ultimately man what made this for me a D. was that Santi Jimenez went on loan to Porto. But other than that, with the whole Eric Lida situation and and just the Mexican clubs wanting way too much money for for their players. Well, I was inclined to give them an F, man. Even the goalie Rahel, he could have gone to Croatia. But Chivas wanted twelve twelve M's for this guy, where the value
Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm.
Marco: for him as a goalkeeper and other goalkeepers that I've been seeing is like eight to seven million. So
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: where are you getting 12 million from this guy? So ultimately a a D transfer window and a F for these clubs in Mexico and I wanted to let these guys on go on. But without further ado, let's move on.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, let's move on to the Premier League. Lot of greed. Lot of greed, it sounds like. Let's keep hearing the same story from Mexico. moving on here, Premier League. Chelsea, four to three versus Brighton. Scary game though, because they were three zero up. Brighton came back, dude. And then last minute, Cole Palmer gets the winner. Cole Palmer, one of those guys. Obviously, he's a big, big name for Chelsea. Pedro Neto, but again Maybe missing in the midfield. Joe Pedro, the Brazilian guy that got snubbed for the World Cup, putting a goal in. So so early in the season, new coach, like we were just saying. So he's building a good attack, it seems like, but maybe lacking in defense midfield. We'll see kind of how that plays out. But next up for them, bro, big one for this weekend, Arsenal versus Chelsea. And I have to I have to say favorite for me would be Arsenal at this point. They're they're,
Marco: Same, same.
Project 90 Soccer: you know, two and in this season already. So We'll see how that one goes, though. But a big one coming out of the Premier League. Kind of a up and down sort of season, sort of team, man United, though, man. Look at, I mean, five to two Ipswich Town, a result you would expect. Bruno Fernandez,
Marco: No, Fernandez
Project 90 Soccer: bro, and with all the goals, hat trick that he got. My question to you, bro, is Can they actually like build a team around Bruno Fernandez? Or do you think they're do you do you think I guess I should rephrase it, do you think they rely too much on Bruno Fernandez?
Marco: One, they shouldn't build the team around Bruno Fernandez. Two, they do rely on him at times. And by
Project 90 Soccer: Okay.
Marco: times, I mean is you can't rely on this guy to be your goal scorer. He's gonna have games like this, but he's also gonna have a lot of games where he's not gonna score. I want Bruno Fernandez to, yeah, put some in the back of the net, but I want him giving the ball all over the place. Open
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: open opening up spaces, right? pulling pulling the pulling the mark to make someone else available. That's the guy I
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: want to see. But no harm, no foul. If this guy's gonna go up and score some goals and do what he did this past weekend, then that also doesn't surprise me because he's that type of caliber player. To me, he's an elite player. Right?
Project 90 Soccer: Yes.
Marco: He hasn't shown at times with the national team, but at the club level, he has been elite for Man United. But here's why I say you wouldn't you shouldn't build a team around him because he almost left. This
Project 90 Soccer: Mm.
Marco: was a little bit under wraps a season or two ago. He almost left, but he decided to stay and compete with Men United. Let's say they have another off year this season. I wouldn't I wouldn't I wouldn't doubt that he leaves.
Project 90 Soccer: Well, he's getting up there in age, right? So you gotta as a as a your own personal career, you wanna win, bro. You wanna win the Premier League or compete in the champions league. And with Man United, he's done none of that. He's really done
Marco: Zero.
Project 90 Soccer: none of that. He's he's been undoubtedly world class, their best player overall, right? He's been consistent, he's their captain, he scores goals, he gets assists, he does all these things. But at some point you gotta you gotta make the decision for yourself where it's like, Okay, I wanna win, like I need to go somewhere else. Right, and there were rumors.
Marco: Mean I mean Europa League a couple years back. But man
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, well they won that, no doubt. It but still, I mean, you for the caliber of player he is
Marco: But man United needs to be winning champions leagues, every Carleen Cup, every Caribou Cup, every EPL, every domestic cup, because that's the standard. The same thing
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah. See? Like
Marco: that is for Chelsea, the same thing that is for Man City, not for Tottenham. the same thing it is
Project 90 Soccer: No. Not for Tony.
Marco: the same thing it is for for for Arsenal. Right. So that's an expectation. And when you go into every week, every weekend to watch the games, that's the expectation that these guys are gonna ball out. There's gonna be some close games. But ultimately,
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: you need to get the result. You're in you're with Manchester United. You're at the Old Trafford, the theater of dreams. One
Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm. Yeah.
Marco: of the most winning clubs in the EPL.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: Arguably had the greatest coach in EPL history, Sir Alex Ferguson. One of the goats, my favorite coach. You need to win. And to your and to you.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah. Mm hmm. They've been on the they
Marco: And to your very
Project 90 Soccer: yeah.
Marco: important and to your very important important point. And sorry fans that I keep cutting my guy off. I'm sorry. But
Project 90 Soccer: Run it.
Marco: to your very important point that you just made, this guy needs to win. And to win, he may have to look for another club.
Project 90 Soccer: That's it. That's what I think. That's what I think. Ma United, they're not gonna win this year. And if they do, it's it's by just sheer luck or stroke of miracle, you know? So you get a player of such world class high caliber, you think of a a guy like fucking Enzo Fernandez for a hundred twenty five million going to Man City. What if they spent a hundred million on a guy like Bruno Fernandez, who's actually, in my opinion, much higher caliber player than Enzo Fernandez, right? S same name, which ironically.
Marco: And place defense.
Project 90 Soccer: And plays defense. He's a hardworking team player. His attitude is not shitty, but he's a competitor, bro. He wants to win. You could tell. So
Marco: It can be shitty at times.
Project 90 Soccer: it can be, but not like Enzo Fernandez shitty. That guy's
Marco: No, no, no.
Project 90 Soccer: attitude is fucking disgusting, dude. I hate it. And then he just blinds you with that grill he's got in his mouth, dude. Dude,
Marco: dude he those veneers?
Project 90 Soccer: that thing's too white.
Marco: Bro I thought he had shin guards.
Project 90 Soccer: Dude, I I had I had like twenty pairs of shin guards in his mouth. Holy smokes, Marco. Okay. Arsenal, look, two wins, two clean sheets, beat Aston Villa one zero. It's not looking good for Villa this season already. I it's only been two
Marco: No, no.
Project 90 Soccer: games, but for Arsenal it's looking real good. Bukayo Saka getting on the board. And you know, dude, I think this is Arsenal's season to lose in a sense. I really do. I think they have the strongest team all around. they have a good, they've had Arteta there now multiple years. They have a good thing going for them. So we're gonna see how that plays out. Liverpool, of course, 2 2 draw. We just talked about that, the big Barclays signing. So we're gonna see what happens here in the Premier League. Interestingly enough, Whole City sitting in like third place right now. Obviously, only two games in, but hey, shout out to Whole City. Okay. Now moving on.
Marco: shop of promotion.
Project 90 Soccer: Moving on here. Setti bro. Como beating Napoli in Napoli, bro. Two to one. This is my team, bro. I keep telling you, I think they're gonna shake shit up this year and said, yeah, they already qualified for the Champions League. Obviously, Napoli is one of those teams, hit and miss. They got some good players. Some of them are a little older. De Bruyne, right? They got the Scottish man, Scott McTominay, X-Men United. They got Rasmus Hoyland, X-Men United as well. But Look, I'm gonna I'm gonna say I think Como's the next team to really go on a run here the next couple years. That's just my prediction. I
Marco: Mm-hmm.
Project 90 Soccer: I I don't know, but yeah, man, I love what Como's doing. And hey, this is a hot take. Maybe not a hot take. I don't know. I think they got the cleanest jerseys in all of Europe this season. Clean. Clean.
Marco: Clean. Clean. The white one.
Project 90 Soccer: The white one, unreal, dude. The blue one, even the home jersey. And I heard rumor is they're gonna make their own brand of jersey. They're not going to use Adidas or Nike or anything. They're going to make their own. They're very fashion forward club. Really interested to see where that goes. And
Marco: Italy in general is a very fashion forward.
Project 90 Soccer: It is, dude. They're always they're always on the on the up and up when it comes to fashion. moving on here, Juventus, bro. Look, they haven't been the the the powerhouse that we've known Juventus to be, but they do have a perfect start this season. They beat Parmer two to zero this past weekend. A little bit of a dominant fashion as well, but When I look at Juve, man, I see them being a good team, yes, but I don't see them being that team that people fear necessarily like they did in the past. I think that is now Inter Milan, right? So with Juve, I think it's just about really finishing in the top four this season, maybe challenging for Cedia. They are not the favorites, in my opinion. so we're gonna have to see what happens there, man. I mean, what what do you feel about I think McKenny, everyone doubts this guy all the time. At Juve, right? They've always doubted this guy, but to me he's probably one of their best players, especially in the past couple of seasons here. I mean, what would you say about that? Speaking of United States.
Marco: No, I agree, but I do feel to your point that he's have to he's had to fight for his place since
Project 90 Soccer: Mm.
Marco: the since the moment he got there. I mean he got there when Ronaldo was there. And I mean this guy was captaining Juventus last season and even the previous
Project 90 Soccer: Yes.
Marco: season. So the leadership and the quality of player, Juventus and their their the the higher ups are n and the fans most importantly.
Project 90 Soccer: Yes.
Marco: know who he is and what he can bring to the table, but it's unfortunate. It just seems like each season he has to fight for his place.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: and to what to your point where these guys they're gonna beat Parma expected, right? But when you're you're playing these bigger clubs or the Coppa Italia or you're you're really fighting for the Scudetto, I don't think they're that team. I don't think
Project 90 Soccer: Mm.
Marco: they have enough depth overall to to win those games. But in in terms of McKinney alone, the topic of McKinney alone, I really hope that they they see that he's an important piece to that squad and he can main maintain himself in the start and eleven outside of injuries.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, seventh I think this is seventh season, and they've had multiple coaches over the years. Right now they have Luciano Spaletti, which I'm not a fan necessarily of him. I never really have been. But sc seeing McKenny consistently play under all these different coaches sort of tells me that he is the real deal. Like he's legitimately the real deal. So we'll see what happens, man, with Juve. Fiorentina though, dude, one of those teams, usually mid table, usually competitive team. They lost three to zero to Frozinone. Right, one of the lower lower mid table would be good for them teams, right? It's not good l for them. it's not looking good for them. I've seen them at their strongest back in like ninety nine, they had Batisuto Ruico, so they had some
Marco: Yo patigol.
Project 90 Soccer: legendary times for AC Fiorentina. And right now it doesn't do it's not looking like it's one of those times. mm.
Marco: And they didn't just only lose who else did they lose in the transfer window that went to your team Como?
Project 90 Soccer: dude, I'm drawing a blank, but you're right.
Marco: Eight.
Project 90 Soccer: Moyce Keane. my god, that just happened as well. Speaking of transfers, you're right, dude. One of their attacking players, Moyce Keane. My God, dude, that's not good. That's good for call ball, but
Marco: So for my Fiorentina folks, we love y'all, but you guys are gonna have to try to survive this season. Yep, yep, there we go.
Project 90 Soccer: Look, okay, look. This is from this is from nineteen ninety nine. I'm a Viola fan. I have jerseys. I I love this fucking
Marco: We own that.
Project 90 Soccer: team, dude. Been to the stadium like three times in my life. So I remember the the golden days. I've saw Mosa La Fiorentina. I've never seen someone run like he was on fucking rollerblades. Like that guy was so fucking fast. but yeah, man, Fiorentina, it's not looking good right now, but again, we keep saying it, it's only second game of the season. Roma, dude, statement win. Look at this. Four zero versus Lecce, okay? Two first games this season, both four zero. Rome's looking like they're not fucking around right now. And I like that for Rome, dude. I feel like Rome needs to be one of those teams. They have not won a scudetto in a long time, dude. Since Toti days, early two thousands, Cassano, Thotti, they had Del Vecchio, all these great fucking players, Cafu. They had a legendary squad, Batisuda, speaking of him as well, he was there as well. So, you know, Rome, they've they've obviously they won the what Europa League? Was it the conference league with with Mauri with
Marco: Conference conference league with Mourinho.
Project 90 Soccer: with Mourinho? So, you know, they're they're they're a decent team. I'd say they're top five, top four, they're somewhere up in there. But do you think Rome's like an actual Scudetto c contender this year to win the league?
Marco: Robot Midi Spiace. No.
Project 90 Soccer: man, he said it in Italian.
Marco: No. I think they're gonna be fine for those top spots, but I think that we're just this is just early in the season. the team is fit, they're winning games. But it's too early to tell Antho hit me up in another four or four months, and then we'll we'll see where this conversation lands. But as of right now, let's shoot for the stars.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, it's looking good for Rome. Two big wins, two first games. Closing out the sety out. We got AC Milan, bro. Two zero versus Venecia. And look, another another transfer that happened, I believe it was during the World Cup. Gonzalo Ramos, dude, Portuguese forward, got on the scoreboard. So he's been consistent with Milan so far, right? He has been their guy. He's been putting in goals, really getting it done, and I see this being I mean I I I thought he was a good striker, but now he's getting the opportunity similar to a Barcola, right? He's getting the chance to really get out there and play. And it's showing, bro. So two zero one for AC Milan.
Marco: It and I'll and it would be harsh on this one, right?
Project 90 Soccer: Go for it.
Marco: Because that's that's just what I do. I'm sorry folks, I'm a AC Milan fan. But we
Project 90 Soccer: All right, folks.
Marco: we we didn't do losers, winners and losers, right?
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: Shout out to Rafael L. Everything he did to the club, the flare, the new eyes that he brought to AC Milan on the portrait side. Everything he did, right?
Project 90 Soccer: Going to Galat Galatasara, Galatasara.
Marco: They they won trophies, a trophy, right, with with with the club and and he gave them their offer, what, seven, eight years? But
Project 90 Soccer: Mm.
Marco: he's my biggest loser because he was all going on podcasts before the World Cup. I'm gonna go here, I'm gonna go there, I'm expected to go to a big club, all the big clubs are calling. This guy struggled to get out of AC Milana, now he's in the Turkish league. They gave him a
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: big welcome, but that's he's my biggest loser of the transfer window for that reason. They just didn't work
Project 90 Soccer: Downgrade.
Marco: out for him. It's one of those things where you just gotta be quiet, bro. Let the agent go to work.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, and you know, dude, no speaking of like Fernandez's attitude, I think Leao's got a massive ego on his shoulder in his head, right?
Marco: Huge.
Project 90 Soccer: It's massive, bro. To to say, all the big clubs are calling when you're already playing at a club like AC Milan. The project
Marco: Mm-hmm.
Project 90 Soccer: the project that they're doing right now with the players they're bringing in, I mean, that's one of those clubs that really has the potential.
Marco: Would have fit perfect.
Project 90 Soccer: Exactly. He was number 10, he was a starting forward. He could have won the fans over and been a complete legend of that club when it was all said and done. And again, it's just it's him getting, you know, feeling disrespected or feeling this or feeling that or I'm better than this or whatever the fuck he thinks. And and it's it's to point out again with the the generation of players too is to have access to the podcast, the social media, all these things, to the point where it feels like they're not even putting the sport first anymore. It's like they're celebrity, they're they're famous, they have all this attention. And they forget the main reason why they even have that attention, right? It's because of the game. And you could see a lot of players, they lose focus, it feels like. And I feel like he's one of those guys that sort of did. Now he's at Galatasarai, which great. He might be in the Champions League. AC Milan might not be in the Champions League. But are you really playing week in and week out in the best possible league that you could play in? He's not. He's not, dude. So I agree with you. Biggest loser of the transfer window. It's absolutely Rafael Leao. and you know what? He doesn't want to be with Milan. I don't want him to be there either. I said it. All right, dude. La Liga, the big three, Barcelona, Real Madrid, Atletico Madrid, all getting wins, dude. Barcelona scoring five goals again. So we know their problem. It's not necessarily not scoring goals. Rafinha, La Mina Mall, the guys you would expect. Getting goals five to two versus Rayo Vallecano. La Mina Mall, dude, look. How old is this guy?
Marco: Twenty, nineteen, nineteen, nineteen.
Project 90 Soccer: 20? It's like 20 years 20 year twenty twenty years old, maybe? Let's just give him say twenty.
Marco: Nineteen, nineteen.
Project 90 Soccer: I mean, what the fuck, dude? This guy has done everything already. He's got how many caps for Barcelona? He's scoring goals, won the Euros, won the World Cup. This is one of those guys, bro. I hope he doesn't turn into a Lyle. I don't think he will with the ego. But you can tell this guy, you know, as long as he keeps producing on the field, I guess his off-field antics are fine. But if he if his form ever sort of dips. And he acts excuse me, acts the way he does off the field, right? I think it's gonna catch up to him. But look, dude, he's if if if he doesn't win a balone d'or or just become like literally just year after year winner, I think I think that's kind of the standard I would say for him, considering what he's done, considering the player he is. I mean, this kid, it's it's unreal, dude, at his age, what he's doing already. 5-2 Barcelona. He's on the score sheet. Winning the Euros. Win in the World Cup. 20 years old. I mean, Jesus Christ, bro. I know there's other good players speaking now, moving to Real Madrid, 4-0. Jude Bellingham's only 22. You know what I mean? These guys are all young. Killian Mbappe, Artagoulaire. I mean, four to zero. So all the big teams are performing. All the big players, I think more importantly, are performing. Jude Bellingham, dude. I know Laminia Mall is gets all the attention, his best player in the world, Wonder Kid. Bellingham though dude's the real deal.
Marco: Imagine if Bellingham was nineteen years old.
Project 90 Soccer: I I know, dude. I know. And you know what? Maybe he doesn't get as much acclaim because he's not a striker. He's not scoring as many goals, maybe, right? Maybe because he's on England and they didn't win the Euros or they didn't win the World Cup. But imagine if you reverse that between Lamine and Jude, and Jude won the Euros
Marco: And
Project 90 Soccer: and won the and won the fucking World Cup. I I I mean I see him getting a ball on door. Like this year. Yeah. Yeah.
Marco: And one hundred percent, one thousand percent. But typically the guy that gets the ball in door wins the World Cup, especially on a World Cup year. but I'm gonna push back a little bit on
Project 90 Soccer: Chear
Marco: the mini mall, what you just mentioned. I think his off field antics are not fine. His off field antics are gonna be the reason why he doesn't have a long successful career, are gonna be the reason why he finds cocaine.
Project 90 Soccer: Mm, shit.
Marco: are gonna be the reason why are we gonna be the reason why you know what I mean it's just it it won't pan out hopefully he matures as he gets older but I don't know man.
Project 90 Soccer: You think he becomes you think he becomes a a professional skier? Is that what you're telling me?
Marco: Like I'm not gonna say all that. But I don't know, man. Just a lot of young guys when when fame gets to them, when they're dubbed the next best thing, for sure it goes to their head. For sure.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: So hopefully that doesn't happen, hopefully it continues on this run. But to your point, when you've won everything already at such a young age young age, you
Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm.
Marco: need a you need to go into a dark place and find that drive to maintain that I want that every year. And that's what gonna that's what ultimately is gonna make this kid great. We if
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: he finds that extra gear that nobody else has and is able to make things happen with Barcelona. Cause Barcelona is gonna give you the players around you to make things make things happen. But this dubbed Wonder Kid, proven Wonder Kid now? We're gonna have to see it.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, it's like it almost feels like the off field feels a little not as professional as it could be, right? And I again I don't like it either. When I see it, I think of dude, like don't fuck this up, right? Like you literally you've already achieved what most players spend their entire career just trying to achieve. So you know, my point is though, if he keeps performing the way he does, the off field will never get criticized as much as it would As if he his form sort of takes a dip. And maybe that's what it's gonna take for him to like really mature as a professional and say like, okay, but then again, it's just what we see through social media. You know, when he's off the field, maybe he's very serious with his diet, he's very serious with his workouts. I don't know, you see him like sagging his pants, he's dancing around, he's having fun, doing all this shit. He is 20. But dude, I mean, this guy has the opportunity to blow Messi and Ronaldo out of the water. In my opinion, right? I mean the amount
Marco: Yeah.
Project 90 Soccer: the amount of time he has to win champions leagues now, to win Balondoors, he's already completed the international game, right? And really he's he's got another f f four fucking World Cups. Three three World Cups at least, right? To win another one. So he really does have the opportunity, I think, to to really become yeah.
Marco: I mean it I mean it took Messi about fifteen years to hit checkmate. This guy
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: already hit checkmate. It's crazy, man. It's crazy. But what you got? What you got?
Project 90 Soccer: What I'm saying, dude. It's crazy. Yeah. No, that's I just think Ballon Doors for him, Champions Leagues, more La Liga titles. We're gonna see it play out though, dude. Moving on though from Real Madrid, Barca, we got Athletico Madrid. Big win, I think, versus Sevilla away, right? three to one. Now that's that's a big result, dude, against a team like Sevilla, right? Keeping Julia Julian Alvarez, which I'm I'm really curious to see how that's gonna sort of play out, right? If he finds his form again, if they celebrate him like they did in the past, like in terms of the fans and everything. I don't know. I'm not really sure how that's going to play out for him and for Atletico Madrid. But again, terms of favors for the league, Atletico Madrid, they're still my number three. They've always stay at my number three. Yeah, my number three right there. yeah. So that's that's closing out La Liga, sort of the big results there. But closing out this episode, Marco, yesterday, Leagues Cup, you got the jersey on Club Leon, bro. We saw two games. We saw America versus Monterrey,
Marco: Monterey.
Project 90 Soccer: and then we saw Club Leon versus Toluca, which look Cambino is in there, Arsilo is in there, right? Toluca though just came out and gave him the business. They handled that game, they controlled the game, they won that shit fair and square. Leon went out in flames, bro, got a red card towards the end there. What did you what what what how do you feel about this game? Obviously it's disappointing, right? They could have made that final, but just didn't pan out.
Marco: Look, I'm with Leon when they win and when they lose. But
Project 90 Soccer: Mm.
Marco: ultimately, man, I think they were on tired nothing to take away from Toluca, I'll go into that right now, but they were on tired legs. Two, two, three days later they played Atalante, which they they ended up getting a point on that game. And then right away turn around and play again midweek in in the League Cup Leagues Cup semi final. But to your point, Toluca man, this was Toluca's game to lose. They just had everything going for them. Leon had a little bit going on the first fifteen minutes. Where the defense was pl was playing very well and not letting much go happen. But Arcilla man, he just wouldn't let go of the ball at times. He was doing one
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: extra play. It seemed like when he had chances to to pass the ball to Cambindo or or whoever was was was coming in, he decided to shoot. They ultimately couldn't get things get get going between them two. Jordi Cortizo didn't have the best game. He was he ended up being subbed out. And and the guy that was narrating the the game, I like to watch him on mute sometimes because they can comment dear your thinking. But
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: I get a very good point that Cortizo can just be so hot and cold in every week. And this is one of those games where he just showed up and he was cold in comparison to to the previous game. But Toluca, Los Diablo Rojos, man, they just played very well. Pereira, who scored, open up the the the the the scoring sheet, he played very well. Herrlinho, the Brazilian, man, that guy was all over the place.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: I feel like they they couldn't no matter what they did, they just couldn't stop this guy. He was just creating chances left and right. And Vinas, the previous Leon player, ended game on the scoring sheet again for Toluca. He has now backed two goals, so it seems like
Project 90 Soccer: Mm-hmm.
Marco: he's getting informed. But shout out to Toluca, they're able to get it done. Mohamed always figures out a way to get it done, and I'm rooting for them to to beat Monterey in the final.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah, Toluca just they honestly just played the better game. They controlled the game. They won the game fair and square. Second semifinal though is Monterey Club America went all the way to penalties, right? No extra time in the Leagues Cup, so straight from the 90 to penalties. And I have to be honest, out of all the penalty shootouts I've seen recent times, that was probably one of the better penalty shootouts. Some
Marco: Uh-huh.
Project 90 Soccer: good penalties being taken. Obviously America missing one just did completely miss the target. Nerves got to him, something got to him. But Monterey coming through, getting the win. Diego Rossi, they have the the kid that played with Oliver Torres, right? That played with Athletico Madrid, I believe, on the team. yeah, dude, final set, Monterey versus Toluca. Who do you think's gonna win there? I know you want Toluca to win, but do you see do you see Monterey maybe taking it?
Marco: Who you talking about? Who you talking about that played with Atletico Madrid? Yeah,
Project 90 Soccer: Oliver Torres, the midfielder.
Marco: yeah. He was with Porto. I thought he was with Sevilla, not Atletico. He played with Atletico
Project 90 Soccer: No, no, no. I think
Marco: also.
Project 90 Soccer: I think he was Athletico Madrid for a while. I definitely remember that. But he's with Montadre, correct? Yeah.
Marco: Yeah, he's been with Montre in a while. But was what was your question? Sorry.
Project 90 Soccer: I said for the final, Toluca, you want Toluca to win, you're rooting for them. But do you think Monterey comes in and sneaks the win? Who who do you think as as the matchup, you see the matchup, who do you really think is gonna go away with this win? Mm-hmm.
Marco: Look, look, they can both win. Monterey has a very strong team. And if you want to touch on transfers, I think Monterey is a winner here with with Kuper and Chicago not so much with Lewandowski. like I mentioned when it happened, it was more of a big name Vedstone
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: type player to sell Jerji's kind of media move. But Kuyper man, he was a he was he's been nonstop and when he's not bagging goals, he's creating opportunities and he's
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: just fighting for every chance. So they have a solid team. They have him up top. They have Oliver Torres. They are or Belin Pineda, who just came from from Greece. He was with Ime Almeida and at I at AEK Greece,
Project 90 Soccer: Athens.
Marco: Athens, yeah. And then you have Tecatito Corona, a European experienced player. Tecatito Corona, Jesus, yes, Jesus
Project 90 Soccer: Pecati Pecatito Corona. Pecatito. What's I say?
Marco: Corona. So this guy is very dynamic. and man, they just they're they're solid.
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: They're solid in in in the midfield, they're solid in the defense, they have depth in the bench, where they
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: can just bring guys of experience like Salcido, they have Arfiaga, they could they bring him in, and they have a solid coach. They
Project 90 Soccer: Yeah.
Marco: have Almeida, right? So this this may, Anto, to be honest, come down to the coaches and the adjustments that they make throughout the game. Because these are two very experienced coaches that have won at the highest domestic level.
Project 90 Soccer: Okay. Do you have a before we close this out, a quick score prediction? Do you wanna just shoot one out there? What do you saw? What do you got?
Marco: I'ma say it's gonna be a close game two to one.
Project 90 Soccer: For Toluca.
Marco: Luka.
Project 90 Soccer: I'm gonna I'm gonna rival you, dude. I Monterey's gonna win. After watching last night, they got a squad, dude. Ford's on fire, scored the winning goal, came from Chicago, like you said. I like I like Monterey, dude. And I think Sergio Ramos is like fuck, dude. I should have stayed maybe an extra season, right? Wild. so that game right here, the final Sunday, September sixth. This Sunday, six fifteen. But they are playing in Toluca, so
Marco: Ooh.
Project 90 Soccer: yeah. So there's a big home advantage there. So I don't know, dude. That's that's that's interesting. That changes things now for me a little bit, but I'm gonna stick with my prediction on Monterey winning two to one. Marco, do you have any last words before we close out this episode?
Marco: Yes, because we keep forgetting. Holland, my guy, you should have
Project 90 Soccer: Hmm. man.
Marco: never cut those locks. Your aura is gone. Yes, you're still scoring goals. But man, me seeing you without that hair, I can't get accustomed to that, man. You were sucked.
Project 90 Soccer: Wild dude.
Marco: You were such a legend. It's like me asking Antho to cut his hair. I just can't see it.
Project 90 Soccer: Imagine if I showed up with just a shaved head. Not even a haircut. Like I'm not talking like a haircut, you know, with some with some length.
Marco: I don't even want to imagine it.
Project 90 Soccer: A shaved head, bro. You know what I saw a meme was actually fucking hilarious because it's true. Holland's got the flattest back of his head, dude. It's like a straight line from his back to the top of his head. It's fucking hilarious, dude. He looks
Marco: Gotta see it. I gotta see it.
Project 90 Soccer: he looks different, dude, but as long as it doesn't take away from his goal scoring, hey man. Do your thing, right? Do your thing. And I'll be a I could I'm a I have experience with this. I can tell you right now, long hair gets kind of annoying, dude. So I could see, man, he was just like, I'm fucking over it. Shave that shit. But I also think being Holland, I think he knew, bro, it was gonna it was gonna spark a conversation online, dude. It's just inevitable inevitable to happen. That anything that guy does, dude, especially something like that, come on. Zlotan was very disappointed, by the way. I saw that
Marco: Yes.
Project 90 Soccer: very disappointed and But I don't know what he's talking about because he cut his hair too. Okay.
Marco: True.
Project 90 Soccer: So maybe it's the season of short hair, but that's besides the point, Marco. This has been another fantastic episode of Project 90, Project90Soccer.com.
