Enjoy the show, and thanks so much for listening. Hello everybody,

(00:25):
and welcome back to The Free Kick. Week two of
return of action for the show. We have so much
going on. Right in the middle of recording last week, Davis,
we had a bunch of leagues officially announced that they
were all returning. So we're getting England back, we're getting
Italy back, and we're getting Spain back with La Liga. Um.
First of all, how happy are you for everything to return?

(00:47):
Because now it's just not the focus on the Bundesliga.
I mean even Portugal as well, um, and all these
other little lower leagues. But now we got all the
top dogs back in this Oh, it's it's beautiful. Man.
Were it was supposed to be the summer of soccer
for some different reasons. You know, we were supposed to
have Euro Obviously, we were gonna have the MLS going

(01:07):
on at the same time, which, uh, you know, for
I I love the MLS. Actually, not that they're they're
not a ton of people who watched the European leagues
and the MLS, but I I actually do really enjoy
the MLS. But we're gonna we're gonna have the summer
of soccer for an entirely different reason now, which is, uh,
there's pretty much every day from June eleven until I'll

(01:29):
say August one, granted, you know, kind of depending on
how things go, We're gonna have soccer every single day,
multiple hours a day, multiple games a day. It's gonna
be it's gonna be amazing. We're gonna have Spain going,
We're gonna have Germany ending their season here in about
a month, uh than we have. I think there is
eight game weeks left of the English Premier League season.

(01:51):
I'm not I'm not on that. You can fact check
me on that, but we are. We are gonna have
soccer back on our TVs uh pretty much every day
for the four stable future. And that's a that's a
good spot to be in. Yeah, I mean, let's face it,
I mean there's so many different games and and even
Cup matches too to include, because that's where Italy is
gonna start off with the f A Cup still has

(02:12):
a few games left to decide some things. Um, and
there's a couple of tight races, right, I mean, Italy
is is a little bit tighter at the top this
late into the season than usual. Um. La Liga is
a pretty tight knit group. I know Barcelona started slowly
pulling away after they had a good result in El Classico,
so that's something to look forward to. But this past week, Um,

(02:32):
how did you do so DFS wise, betting wise? Did
things go your way? Um? Did things not go your way?
Because that that Brussia Dortmund game. I mean, for for
a while there you thought they weren't going to do
anything against Patterborne and then all of a sudden they explode.
Jaden Sancho was just absolutely ridiculous in the second half.
So yeah, so how did you do you make some money? Yeah?

(02:53):
DFS went pretty well because because of my boy Jaden Sancho. Uh,
he was one of the most expensive players on the slate,
on on that Sunday slate and as a result of that,
you know, a lot of people rostered um thorgan hazard
and you know, on that on that specific slate. You know,
there were just some other guys for people to take

(03:13):
a lot of people rostered the forwards from Brusia Munch
and glad Back, so Alice saying Plea and Marcus Thurham. Uh,
Plea and Thurham both had good games. Uh, they just
didn't have hat tricks with an assist as well, which
is what Jaden Sancho was able to do in that game.
Because uh, you know, that's that's just what Jaden Sancho
is gonna do against relegation fodder like that. So uh,

(03:35):
you know, I think we have to be I think
we have to uh, you know, just acknowledge that he was,
he was injured for a while, but things things definitely
did work out for him. A bet that I really
liked this week actually played out, which was Iron Track
Frankfurt on the road um against Verder Brayman. They were
getting plus money on the fan duel and DraftKings sports books,

(03:56):
so uh, in those in those matches, you you could
have wedger, you could have wagered on I Track Frankfort
at about plus one five in those contests. And you know,
that was just one of my That was just one
of my favorite bets because I you know, I think
I track Frankfurt is uh, you know, just a ridiculously
talented team. I think Philip Coastitch is really underrated. I

(04:17):
wonder actually if we will see Philip Coastitch after this
season with more eyes on his performance for Frankfort get
a move to a Premier league club. Yeah, I mean,
there's a there's a lot of things, but that I
hit the over two and a half and that one
I was I was biting too my nails at the
end of that game because that was really getting close
to that. They didn't score until the sixtieth minute, I believe,

(04:38):
and then I think the last ten minutes they scored
two more, so that over finally hit. I know a
bunch of people on the network had a gay Morenzi
Jared Smith, they both had the over two and a half.
So we got lucky there. For me. I I loved
what Leipzig did for me. They really, uh, they really
helped me out big time. The game total over three
and a half. It was moving up to plus one
ten right before the game started. I a little worriesom

(05:00):
so I didn't I didn't buy in on that, but
I got him at plus one hundred, so that hit.
They just absolutely dominated them. Um. I don't know if
you saw Timo Werner's goal, Um, he had so much
he got assisted by the goalie. You know when someone
gets assisted by the goalie that they that they are
are just you know, just too fast. Yeah, I know.

(05:21):
It looked like Tyreek Hill over the top of the defense.
When Mahomes sends them a deep ball. It's just no
one's within twenty yards and you're just sitting there to yourself. Okay,
well that's that. Um. So they had so many different
shots on goals, They had a bunch of different guys,
and and they were wise to rest and take out
a lot of their players like Dannie Olmo got into
the game, they took them out around the sixty fifth

(05:41):
minute or so. They brought an Emile Forsburg. So I
don't know how much that affected some DFS lineups, but
I but I think it it really helps a lot
going into this weekend when they face Paderborn, because again
they're still gonna need to pick up these points, especially
against these lower UH side teams in the league, simply
because they're pretty close with this Champions League race and

(06:02):
they just catapulted themselves back into third. I think they're
going to be staying there for the foreseeable future, probably
the rest of the season at this point. So for me,
I mean orby Leipzig was just they're always feeling like
the safest play even in their one in the first
game since returning, they did get a lot of shots off.
They didn't get as many goals as they might have
liked to look at the end of the day, it's
so great to see all these goals at the end

(06:23):
of this because I think it was like a six
goal game for that so, so it's really great to
see all those products. And you talk about players moveing,
um Upakamenco might be one of the fastest center backs
I think I've ever seen in my life. His physical
profile is just absolutely absurd. You see why he's rumored
to be going around for sixty millions. I've heard I've

(06:43):
heard Arsenal in for him, and I think he makes
a ton of sense actually as a as an Arsenal player,
I think he he fixed a lot of their issues. Actually, yeah,
and that's one of the issues that I'm gonna be
worried about when they face off against man City in
the first game back. Uh, in the Premier because City
is already like minus two eight on the money line.
It just keeps getting bigger and bigger. And that's even

(07:04):
with the triple money line, right because things get affected
with draws and stuff. It's the first game back. Um,
Arsenal was playing a bit better defensively since mcel arteta
ride as the manager. Obviously he was coming over from
Manchester City, so I think that's something important of note
to take care of. But I mean le Roy Sane
coming back into the fold. He's probably my favorite Premier
League player to watch. Um. So he's gonna be off

(07:26):
to Bayron Munich from everything that we've seen and heard about. Yeah,
there's just so many different players. I mean Kai Havers again, man,
I mean, this kid just keeps on breaking all these records. Um.
And then one thing we should probably mention, right, I
don't know if you saw the news, Davis Patimo Werner
looks like he's actually gonna be on the move to
Chelsea now opposed to Liverpool. A bunch of different outlets
and reporters are reporting that the talks broke down with Liverpool.

(07:49):
They really weren't pursuing him as hard as we were
led to believe, and now Chelsea's pouncing on it. We
know they have I guess an issue of sorts up top.
I mean, they don't want to fully rely on Tammy
Abraham considering his age and his skill set isn't the greatest.
But I mean, look, if Chelsea could sign someone like this,
I mean I'm really looking forward to the to them

(08:09):
even next year. Um, if we want to go further
down the line with that, yeah, Um, I think I
think Team of Verner makes loads of sense for them
long term as a guy who kind of fits their
style of play right, Like we we think that you know,
they really like to h they really like to play
on the counter. Uh, they they don't always like playing
with like a hold up guy like Tammy Habraham is

(08:31):
actually kind of like a weird style fit for for
what they want to do, especially you know under Frank Lampard,
we we kind of think that they are. Actually what's
kind of interesting is the kind of are mimicking those
City tactics when City breaks. You know, City is so
good that we don't think of them as a counter
attacking team, but actually when City plays against Liverpool, when

(08:53):
City plays against Byron Munich, when City plays against Spurs,
they actually kind of turned themselves into a team that
tries to transition the ball really quickly. And I don't
know if there would be a better player in the
world at turning your team from a possession style team
to a counterattacking team than team of Wvertner, because you're
you're you're certainly not signing him, you know, for for

(09:14):
seventy five million dollars uh for for his ability to
hold the ball up. You want him to get behind defenses. Yeah,
and then and that's one of the things. I think
it could be a seamless transition because RB Leipzig really
likes to keep a high pressure, high octane kind of
offense and and get off as much as they can
and and team was in great shape for this and
and you've seen it again with like the player we

(09:35):
were just referencing. He sprinted down the line. I mean
he he was out in a flash and it's not
like any of the defenders had a change. I think
he's gonna get a good amount of service to which
Chelsea as well, and there won't be as much pressure
that there usually would be if he's going to a
massive team like Chelsea because there's a lot of youngsters
in there. They fit the same profile as him. I

(09:56):
think he'll be more comfortable and he's embraced the move
outside of Germany because a lot of a lot of
the time that top talents um that start up in
their countries leagues like you know in Italy. Sandro Tonali
for example, would would be a guy that's going to
stay there because he's more comfortable. We don't see all
the top talents in England and Spain leave their countries.
Timo would be one of the first ones. And you

(10:17):
would have thought he would have gone to Liverpool simply
because you're gonna clopp there with the German connection. But
I mean, I mean, this is a hell of a
cooper Chelsea, especially after not having any transfers available to them.
They didn't do much in January either. They just rolled
with this younger squad and now I mean they're not
younger essentially with this, but they're sticking to this philosophy

(10:38):
and it's really worked for them. Because a lot of people,
including myself, didn't see them reaching a Champions League spot.
I felt they were going to be in the Europa
League spot and then eventually build off of it and
add in the transfer market. But now this is such
a savvy move. This isn't this isn't gonna cost them
less than Christian Pulistage did last year, and the fact
that he's more seasoned than Christian was coming into Chelsea.

(11:00):
You going into next season, I mean, look out for them, man,
because because at the end of the day, I think
that's the team that is you should really look out for.
And I think they'll probably finish top three at this rate,
depending on their other moves in the market. But anything
else that that you're kind of looking forward to and
some of some of these other leagues, do you expect
to see a lot of goals in a lot of

(11:20):
legal of sorts right away or do you expect to
be a little rusty? Oh? Man, That's what I'm hoping.
I'm hoping that this. I'm hoping that this trend that
we've gotten in the German Buddhistliga, which is it seems
like the defenses aren't prepared, seems like the offenses are
kind of having their way with defenses. That's really what
I want to see. I also, I mean I think
we gotta say, we gotta be excited for a legit

(11:42):
title race that's happening in law Leagua. Twenty seven games played,
fifty eight points for Barcelona, fifty six points for Real
Madrid plus thirty two goal differential for Barcelona plus thirty
goal differential for Real Madrid. Like this is like that,
Like it's awesome, right, Like we're gonna get to see
a legit title race there. Uh, you know, not gonna
be not gonna be a legit title race in England,

(12:03):
not going to be one um in Germany. But at least,
you know, it's at least exciting, uh, to have one
title race during all of this, Yeah, because they both
had their stretches where they were playing so well and
then they kind of hit a little, um, you know,
fork in the road. Uh so to say, I mean,
when Messi went down earlier in the season, Barcelona was struggling,
and then Real Madrid certain times they just don't get

(12:24):
the goal scoring that they need to win some of
these games. Their defense has been really good, but I
think they're still hurting because uh Luka Yovich was just
kind of a plot for them this year, coming over
from Frankfurt. So you thought he could have done more there.
They're still young everywhere, which is kind of funny because
we're so used to Real Madrid paying up for all
the top talent that are already proven veterans. Now they're

(12:46):
kind of going on the younger side. But all the
top talents. Fettie Valverdi is one of them. Venetius Junior
is another kid to watch. I think he's amazing. I
think he's going to really prove to be one of
the top youngsters in the world when he comes back.
That's a kid to look out for. But yeah, I
I picked Real Madrid plus one sixty prior to El
classicgo coming um for that. I think they're around plus
one thirty five as of recently on FanDuel, or it

(13:09):
might have been plus one ninety will put we'll put
it up on the screen. Right there's plus one thirty five.
So yeah, we're gonna be talking about that and more
when we come back here on the Free Kick Everybody
Daily Rhodo dot Com learned from the game's best DFS players.
We don't just give you premier advice. We play every day,
all major sports all year round. We never stopped industry

(13:33):
leading DFS tools and custom projections, and now Daily Rohdo
dot com optimize that in minutes, building optimized line up
for cash games and turneys learned from the game's best
DFS players joined Daily Rodo dot Com. Hello everybody, Welcome

(13:54):
back to the Free Kick. Martino Fuccio and Davis Maddick
with you here. We're getting in our second segment of
the day. Dave is we're going to continue talking about
all these leagues returning. We're gonna stick with law Liga,
who we were just discussing before the break. There um
some DFS players we could potentially be looking out for,
um that we're kind of high profile. Towards the end
of the break before COVID hit, Martin Oudreguard was one

(14:17):
of the players that really shined this part of the season. Um,
he just exploded onto the scene. We knew how high
profiled he was going into Real Madrid. He was one
of the top and coveted youngsters in the world. I
was a little flaky on it at first because of
Real Madrid's reputations, kind of like Chelsea that it's not
the greatest environment to go into strictly coming from a
much lower league, side. Um, where he was coming from

(14:40):
moving up to the biggest club in the world. It's
a lot of pressure at that age. Um, they loan
him out and he's just been absolutely unbelievable and he's
been one of the stars of the league this year
and he's got the potential to actually finish a Team
of the Year in La Liga too. Um, So tell me,
tell me what do you think about him? Tell me
about some other guys that you have your eye on. Two. Yeah,

(15:00):
Martin Ordregard so kind of a kind of an interesting
guy because he was he was a guy who made
the like world like, you know, he was on ESPN,
he was on every everyone knew who he was. When
he was what sixteen years old, he was the most
expensive team. He was the most expensive teenager ever purchased
by a La Lega team. You know, Barcelona wanted him

(15:22):
probably I would imagine Manchester City wanted him at the time,
and uh, you know it just because soccer is a
really hard game and it's also really hard at his position.
So you know, if you've never watched Martin Ordregard play,
he is like kind of like it. So he's playing recently. Yeah,
he was like a winger in Norway because um in

(15:45):
UH in the tip Olagan, which is the Norwegian premiership,
he was a winger because he was not going to
get bullied by uh, you know big John big you know,
giant strong defenseman out there. Uh. It took him a
while to transition and positions to playing purely in the center.
He was loaned from my Real Madrid to UH the

(16:06):
Tests in the ear to Visy, which is the Dutch
top flight, and he was incredible for them. So he
played about three thousand minutes for them, had twelve assists,
nine goals, was one of the highest rated players on
who scored in the entire league. Returns to play for
RAYL Associate Dad this season and you know, RAYL Socio
Dad is a is a good team historically speaking in

(16:28):
terms of law Liga. They are not a fourth place
in Laaliga team I. I actually don't know if Raylsociate
Dad has ever made the Champions League in their club's history.
So right now, as we are getting ready to return
from break, they are fourth in the table forty six points,
one point behind sevilla Um. They have a plus twelve
goal differential and of course Martin Dreguard is not the

(16:50):
only reason that they're there. But it's very hard in
soccer to take the next step up as a team
without a superstar player and order guard is you know
for sure, um a superstar player for them, because if
you look at the rest of Ray also see Dad's roster.
It's like mcel Marino, he was a guy who was
cast off from brush A Dortmund. He was he literally

(17:12):
was like not good enough to be their fifth central midfielder.
Michel Ore is a ball I can't I can't say
his last name. It's a very specific Yeah, he's from
a He's from a very specific um, a very specific
region of the Bosque region in Spain, So I'm not
sure of his name. But yeah, like they they have

(17:33):
just a bunch of fine players, not a bunch of
great I former Manchester United young there we go such
a big name to East. Sack is another kid, um
that's probably returning to Dortmund. Um, depending on what their
situation is there too. You never know what them. They
could easily flip Polland for eighty million euros at the
end of the day, like that's how they do business sometimes.

(17:55):
But oh Rereguard, Yeah, I love the way you explained
it right, just chronologically his um transition over from Norway
to Real Madrid and then they bring him out to
halland Holland is probably, from my money, besides Germany the
best place to develop youngsters, right you could already Portugal
is as well for for leagues that are really competitive
and have quality but also allow their youngsters to grow.

(18:17):
And I thought it was a great move for him there,
and then it takes a little bit of a step
up come back to Alt later Real Associate Dad, like
you mentioned, not the biggest club in the world, but
a club that you can definitely UM gain some experience
that and it looks like the next step is to
go and compete for a starting eleven position with Real Madrid,
which I mean, in and of itself is one of
the most difficult things to do. It doesn't matter what

(18:39):
age you are, UM, so for him to go there,
and even worse case, like say he gets flipped again,
I think his price tags around forty million euros forty
million pounds. It varies depending on the sources you look at,
but that that's another guy man. I mean, look at this,
it's it's just really great to see these talents um
come into the fold because Alan Hellulovitch, I don't know
if you know who he was. He was a Barcelona youngster. Um.

(19:03):
They they traded for him when they got Danny Olmo,
when Danielmo was coming up through Barcelona and they switched
him over. And Danielmo was in the Croatian league and
he just signed for RB Leipzig. And Hellolovich is just
all over the map. He was with a C Milan
and now he's just a nobody. So like, these guys
can disappear very fast. And I know everyone everyone loves

(19:25):
to point to freddie Ado when you look at America
over here. I mean, he was supposed to be America's pelee,
but I mean he's he's he's a nobody now and
so look, it's it's great to see players like that. Um.
The Champions League race as well for for La Liga
is just so close. It's so interesting to see because
at the end of the day, we didn't know with

(19:45):
these leagues were going to finish out right, We thought
that UEFA was just UEFA told these leagues, hey, you
guys can just decide on your standings at the end
of the day if you if you want to return
or not to return. I mean, look how close this is,
and let me go Madrid forty five points, Kata at
forty six points. Real associate Dad, as you mentioned forty
six points, that's all just for that spot of Valencia
is not even that far back with the forty two

(20:07):
points as well, and they're very capable. They they caused
some trouble in the Champions League as well. Uh they
won their cup tournament not too long ago when they
beat Barcelona in the final. I mean, there's just so
many competitive teams. From my money, this is still on
its best day. La Liga is the best league in
the world. You could argue, well currently this year, I
think they have because they have a great mix of

(20:29):
They have the top end talent, you know, they have
Lionel Messi um, you know, and they have all of
the amazing players on the Real Madrid Rosster so Kareem
Benzema and Gareth Bale and Luka Modrich and Tony Cruz
who like you know, maybe maybe you are are not
of the style of person that loves what what Tony
Cruz and Luka Modrids do, but I think they are,
you know, fantastic players, even even guys like no Bille Fakir,

(20:51):
who was you know, supposed to be the Bobby Fermino
replacement at Liverpool until his knees basically were unable to
pass physical but you know he's a fantastic player. Real
Madrid and Barcelona always going to be competitive in the
Champions League. But also you know, they just have deeper down,
like they just have more talented you know, teams down
the table. And it's because of the way the academy

(21:14):
systems work in UH in Spain, which is just you know,
it's so hyper focused on a team style, you know,
kind of regardless of who the coaches. You know, Real
Madrid always is gonna play really attacking football, Barcelona is
always gonna play really possession of the football, Billa Real
is always gonna play really good, solid defensive football and
that they like. And then we actually see this in
American sports too, but organizations that have you know, organizations

(21:38):
that have really solid um, you know, a really solid fronation,
great example. Yeah, if you have a foundation that goes
from the owner down to the players, it's just so
much easier to be competitive. And so many teams in
Law LEAGUEA have that. Yeah, I mean, yeah, you could
do for Freezier comparisons for our American audience of Baltimore

(21:59):
Ravens in the NFL, all is another one. They know
the specific type of player that they want to sign
to their organization. I mean the Patriots of the Patriots,
that's uh, you know, I think that's a Belichick thing.
I'm not, we'll see afterwards. I mean the Steelers the
same thing as well. It's just teams like that. You're right.
They know their identity. And even with Barcelona and the
Lama Sea School that Johann Krift created and really turned

(22:20):
it into the best academy in the world, they do
a lot of video footage and visual learning for a
lot of these youngster young players that they have in
the academy. They show them visibly where they should be
standing on the field, what types of space they should
that they should be taking up, where to pass the
ball in certain situations. It's all the little things that
they do, and you're right it it comes up from

(22:41):
all those stuff. And and even then they're so savvy
with the with the market to right, even if they
sell guys, they're selling them for a ton of money.
Look at letting go Madrid's another one. All the strikers
that they had come and gone there, Diego for Lan,
Sergio Aguero went to round A malfalcaw Um and then
so on and so forth that they have and even
Rieseman leaving and Diego coast to other guys. I mean,

(23:02):
it's just a cycle of how they're able to just
bring these guys in, have them going. Felix unfortunately he's injured.
We don't know what his situation will be when he
comes back. And let it Go has really struggled offensively.
I know. They just knock Deliverabool out of the champions
like so it's kind of funny to be talking about
them like this. But are you staying away from Athletico
especially when this return is coming on? Are you eyeing

(23:23):
more so their defensive players? Yeh, old Block is just
probably the best goalkeeper in the world at the moment
in terms of form um. So is there anyone that
you're kind of off on Athletico and on so? Uh?
They are I think actually the worst team ever for
daily fantasy. Uh. They they don't cross, Uh, they don't

(23:46):
shoot very much. They don't even really try and score
goals all that often. Uh. It feels like it feels
like almost an accident. If they have a game where
they score multiple goals, the the ideal uh Diego Simione
game is uh, you know, Diego Coasta or jowl Felix
or whoever his his striker is whenever he decides to
show up. Yeah, alveral mort Yeah he put that. That

(24:08):
guy puts his back into a defender, receives the ball,
and uh and and and then you know, sends his
defender the wrong way, turns around, puts it in the net.
And then they spend they spend the rest of the game, um,
you know, just trying to hold on. And and that
is yeah, it's it's fine. It's fine for them, but
it's it's not a style of talks, not a style

(24:30):
of of footie that is super conducive for daily fantasy basically. Yeah,
and and even just regular betting too. I loved all
the moves that they made on paper. Coming into the
season they were plus twelve win La Liga, so I figured,
that's definitely something that I want to spend my money on.
And then I mean, they're sitting where they're sitting, and
has to do a lot to do, probably with the

(24:51):
roster overhaul. There's so many interchangeable parts that are happening
within that. Lucas Hernandez Diego Godan leaving those are two
major defensive piece is that they don't have anymore that
really affected them. Jaw Felix. They spend all that money,
you could tell like he still looks like a kid
Killian and Bobby. The reason why he is so talented
and consider generational is that his physical ability has already

(25:15):
met up with his mental side at such a young age,
and that is why the difference is already showing there
for Joo Felix. He can't be putting on, like, you know,
ten or fifteen pounds of muscle at the beginning here,
because he really needs to ease into that. He can't
just bulk up like that. So he's gonna be getting
bullied off of the ball. He's gonna get a lot
of muscular injuries at the moment, and we've seen that.
Thank god, it wasn't a tear in any ligaments for him.

(25:37):
But at the end of the day, yeah, I I
could only imagine how frustrating they must be on DFS
because they were frustrating with gambling and betting purposes Um,
any other teams or players that you're looking forward to
in law Liga before we hit out here. Uh not,
not any team that I'm super interested in. Roberto Roberto
results is uh just a really fun fantasy player. He

(26:00):
takes corner kicks um for his team, and he is,
you know, one of those mid price defenders that we
really like. I just I love I love defenders that
take corner kicks and penalty kicks and stuff, you know,
like like Roberto Carlos did back in the day. Those
guys are the best. Yeah, they are. By the way,
how much do you hate short corners? I am. I
get my blood boils when I see them pop up

(26:22):
all the time. It's just it's really illogical and it
never ever made sense to me. Unless you're trying to
waste time. Your best bet is always trying to send
the ball inside of the box and giving yourself a
chance to score a goal. Well, when you're doing these
short corners, they have to be taking very quickly and
catching the team off guard, right. I mean, I can
only imagine how frustrating it must be for you and DFS.

(26:42):
It's just me as a fan watching it. So we'll
talk about that nothing more frustrating. Yeah, we'll talk about
that some more when we come back. Daily Rhodo dot

back into the free kick Segment three. Martino Buccio, Davis

(27:25):
Maddock here with you. We're getting into the Premier League,
the most popular league in the world. But we're gonna
be talking about the Premier League specifically because Liverpool won
the league, right, We're just really worrying about the Champions
League spots being decided and there's so many different teams
that could be potentially in the mix. For that. Manchester United,
you would think it's the worst season of all time
for them, only three points out of fourth place. So

(27:47):
it's so it really shows the competitiveness of the league.
The best odds that we could look for and try
and get is the f A Cup odds, So right
now Manchester City is the favorite for that at minus
one and then there is a massive gap Manchester United
plus seven hundred, Chelsea coming in at plus eight hundred,
Leicester City plus eight hundred as well, and then Arsenal
at plus eight fifty. I don't know if you like

(28:07):
to sprinkle something on Sheffield United's defense at plus sixteen hundred,
man City the heavy favorite. I kind of understand where
um the odds makers are coming from here, because they
don't really have a lot to play for at this point.
They could go for a double with potentially winning the
Champions League later on in the year and then eventually
with Manchester City winning the f A Cup as well.

(28:28):
I definitely see something see this as something that they
just focus all their energy into, right because I know
they're most likely making the Champions League, they're gonna catch
the Liverpool, so right now their soul for focus could
be on this. Do you agree with this for sure? Yeah?
I mean Gordiola, he uh guy loves to win. Guy
wants to uh you know, he really wants to win titles.
That's a that's really his his whole thing. And I

(28:51):
just I just don't know what what his title did, Like,
why even be a coach, why even return from coronavirus
at all? If you're not wanting to win the f
A Cup. Because he's not gonna he's not gonna win
the league. We know, we know they're they're not gonna
win the league. It's at this point, it's it's almost
a statistical impossibility. Liverpool almost has it entirely, uh clinched

(29:11):
at this point. It's been so long since we've been
talking about sports, have even forgotten words like like Clint
Stond and you know, all of those all those dynamic
action words that we get with with sports. So yeah,
I I really could not agree more. I also think this, um,
this plays in the Liverpool's favor in the league, just
in the sense of like they don't have to worry
about anything. They they're gonna roll into their their COVID
shelters and they're gonna win the league and they're gonna

(29:33):
party and that's gonna be that's gonna be great for
them and they're not gonna have to sweat it at all. Yeah.
I mean, look, this will also be the first modern
time Premier League title since it revamped up in the
nineties for Liverpool, which is absolutely insane. They have eighteen
league titles outside of that, this will be their first one.
We know how close they were a couple of years
ago when they had Luis Suarez. They probably win the

(29:54):
Premier League if he doesn't decide to bite Ivanovich because
he was absolutely unreal that season. Um, because he was
just scoring goals left and right, headers outside of the
penalty area. He was just insane. And then Stephen Jared
had that unfortunate slip against Chelsea that ended up costing
them the title there, so they finally run away with this.
I think they were fortunate that Manchester City had a

(30:15):
lot of injury issues at the beginning of the season. Um,
whether it's leroy Son a missing time. Their defensive back
four was just absolutely yeah, it's just a mess and
I was stunned that they were able to pull off
the victory against Real Madrid there. Kevin deboiner my money,
he's the best midfielder in the world. I don't think
he's really left that up for the debate. I think

(30:35):
he's far and away the best Belgian player in the
world as well. You wouldn't have thought that ed in
Hazard and all that he's done on Chelsea. Um ever
since coming back from Wolfsburg, he set the assist record there,
which Jaden Sancho and and Thomas Mueller very close to
potentially breaking. I think of his one assist is what
he said at Wolfsburg. So he's coming back over after
he failed at Chelsea. I mean, look, this guy can

(30:58):
take over a game at any than time, and I
think he would be one of the main reasons as
to why they could lift this f A Cup. Yeah,
I I think. I mean, like, Okay, let's be honest,
they are probably a better team than Liverpool, right you go,
you go position the position, you say, okay, what Yeah,

(31:19):
like they they they really do just seem to probably
be um a little bit better. Like I think Kevin
O'Brien is better than you know, than money, than Sala
than for me. No. Um, I think actually, if you
look at if you look at the midfield overall, I
think Manchester City has a huge advantage. Where where Liverpool
was better than them this season was in the back. Right,

(31:39):
So Joe Gomez, I mean, Virgil Van Dyke is the
best center back in the world, maybe maybe the best
center back we've seen since you know, Beckenbauer, right, we're
just like he has complete Yeah, I mean the Italian
but I would say, I say he's probably the best
since Nesta at his peak, Sandro Nasa Fabio kind of

(32:02):
ar like those guys for sure. The way his season
last year was just absurd and he's he's kind of
trying to keep it to that same level this season,
but it's really hard to keep it at that standard
that he had. But you're right, I mean they're they're
two fullbacks as well. I mean, how much money has
Manchester City spent on their fullbacks? I mean they're spending
more than NASA does on an annual basis trying to

(32:23):
get these guys to work out Kyle Walker chilcom Cello
with someone who's absolutely done nothing for them, and they
spent around fifty million pounds in euros for this guy
to come in and he hasn't done all that much.
And I totally agree on the midfield. I think the
midfield it's not even a conversation to be had at
this point. And the attack, I think the attack. Look,
when when Leroy Sane is in there, I think it

(32:44):
completely changes the ballgame in the conversation for this, and
then Cunaguero. He's probably the best goal scorer since Tierry
and Ri in the Premier League, right, I mean you
could go up there with like Wayne Rooney at a
certain point. Carlos Tevez was other worldly too, but I
mean just the rate that he scores at is just
so unbelievable. And as a fellow short person at five six,

(33:05):
I love what he's been doing for for the short
guys out there. Um. So yeah, I mean Manchester City
at one, is there anyone else that you would kind
of consider? I mean, these are pretty big numbers here,
Chelsea plus eight hundred United. I'm not too sure I'm
United for this. They've been playing well, They've beaten City
a couple of times now, so it's not something that's,
you know, out of the ordinary for them that can't happen. Um,

(33:28):
But I don't know. I would keep it to United,
Chelsea and Lester the others. For me, I don't really
see any scenario in that they could lift the trophy here. Um.
I really actually, I really like this for Lester. Lester
has um just the perfect game for the f A Cup, right.
They play smash and grab, They have a really deep

(33:49):
squad so they can rotate in between games, which, you know,
it feels crazy to say a team like Lester that
doesn't have a huge budget would have a deep team
or something like that, right we'd be thinking, oh, United's gut,
a deep team, like United's twentieth best player would be
the fourth best player on Lester, And that's not true
at all. Um United as a team that is like
cycling through like academy guys in the midfield basically because

(34:12):
you know, guys like Fred have been super disappointing, like
they keep you know, whoever is coaching that team keeps
turning over to Scott mctom and a who's like the
nine seven best defensive midfielder in the world, you know,
and he just keeps getting minutes for Manchester United. I
think the one thing you could argue for United is
Pagma will probably be back healthy, Rashford will be healthy,

(34:32):
Marciall will be healthy, and those guys are like virtue
as performers at their position. We're like, if those guys
were at Myal Madrid, if those guys were at Manchester City,
if those guys were at Juventus, whatever, they would be
getting minutes, they would be starting for the best clubs
in the world, and you know, maybe over the course
of four games or whatever, those guys all have individual
moments of brilliance that that brings the title to United. Yeah,

(34:56):
and and that's the thing though, I think that's kind
of where their transfer market is kind to shifted lately.
You know, Aaron Juan Besaka is one um Bruno Fernandez
that they got in January. They're making money very good. Yeah,
they're making these big money purchases and they're just plugging
them into the lineup instead of kind of going with
this philosophy of like, Okay, let's get five to six
guys around the twenty million dollar price tag and then

(35:17):
we're gonna plug them in on all these different places
in the lineup. They try doing that, they didn't work
out for them. Now they're doing you know, Pugs a
ton of money, um Fernandez, a ton of money, Wan Basaka,
like we discussed, and they eventually sold Lucaku. And I
do think they need to figure out that number nine
situation because I don't think Marciall is a long term
guy to have their um rash for two. That's a
great point that injury almost cost them their season there, right,

(35:40):
because they handled that injury situation very poorly, almost as
bad as the Philadelphia seventies handle almost every single injury
um that they have coming across with them. But look,
I think you're right there. I think Manchester United on
their best day here have an opportunity Leicester City again. Man.
No one saw them doing this. Brendan Rodgers coming over
from Celtic. You thought he was kind of done for

(36:01):
after he left for Liverpool and the title that I
was referencing to that they lost, he was the manager
for that one. And then all of a sudden he
has Lester in this hunt and they're probably gonna be
making Champions League until something crazy would happen and Jamie
Vardi again, man, one of the greatest stories in sports
for a lot of people that don't know came from
absolutely nowhere to winning the title with Leicester City, which

(36:22):
is still probably the best sports story of our lifetime.
Will never We'll never see anything like it, every no, no,
all because because the funny thing about this, so I'll
get your take on this too, because I discussed it
with Kevin Walsh and like other people that really aren't
into the whole soccer thing. Always compare the Miracle on
ice tea, right, and and for a lot of people,
I get where it's coming from, right, But that was

(36:42):
a few games. This was over thirty eight games in
the toughest league in the world, where they have almost
every single possible disadvantage that you could have. But somehow
they come up and win the league in And it's
funny because Spurs are just sitting there they think it
could have been their time to finally lift the trophy
after I don't know, it's in decades for them, probably
prior since the Miracle on Nice was the last time

(37:03):
that they won a major trophy. But I mean, come on,
five thousand and one odds for that, and for them
to be here again after the tragic loss of their
owner last year in a helicopter crash. You know, things
can go in flux. We see how important ownership is
all the time. But they've stayed the course and now
they're having another fantastic season. I mean, how crazy would
it be a fan up winning this FA Cup too,
because it was just it's another improbable thing if they

(37:25):
were to pull it off, Yeah, it would be you know,
It would just be absolutely incredible if they were able
to pull it off. I I don't even um, you
know it, They're they certainly would like to win it, right,
and I think, uh, the scheduling stuff will be interesting,
like how they balance scheduling the f A Cup versus
teams that are still playing meaningful matches in the league, right,
because the matches for Lester are still going to be

(37:46):
meaningful in terms of like, you know, that's so much
money for them. If they're able to get back into
the Champions League, like that's that's uh, that's Jamie Varti's
replacement right there. They'll be able, they'll be able to
buy you know whatever, you know, twenty two year old
striker from from Italy or you know, Victor Oshman from
from Los Cleo or something like that. Like, they'll be
able to set themselves up. They'll be able to set

(38:06):
themselves up in the future. And if they miss out,
if they miss out on that spot, they are gonna
feel terrible. They're gonna they're gonna be like, wow, we
we let this chance slip through. So, you know, I
would imagine the league is more important to Lester, but
it still would be a really cool story to see
them win this. Yeah, and again they would do it
face off against Chelsea. They haven't determined all the dates
for this, Um, Newcastle gets manned City and that Norwich

(38:30):
against Manchester United. It's probably a fun DFS play for
you that. I'm sure you're looking at Sheffield United versus
Arsenal man that actually looks like a snooze fest. So
I'm probably not gonna be betting or watching that game
at all. Um. Yeah, look, and and the thing is
you mentioned the money aspect of it all. The Champions
League is so important for so many teams because again
I think we discussed it last week with Leone and

(38:52):
all the financial hardships that they're gonna have now because
they were in the running for potentially getting that Champions
League spot. They're not getting into the Champions League because
Legue who sided that their season was over and they're
left out there and they're potentially going to have to
sell a bunch of guys, one of them including Memphis
the Pie, who is coming off a torn a c L.
So they really don't have a lot of leveraging conversations
in terms of getting the exact price that they would

(39:14):
want for them, So yeah, I don't I don't know.
I feel like I feel like it's a little too safe.
With Manchester City, I want fifty five. I'll probably bet
on them to win it. I do see them winning it.
But at the end of the day, when you can
get odds on teams like you know, plus seven hundred
plus eight hundred with Chelsea and Leicester City, I mean
I think that's something worth betting on only because we

(39:35):
have just the potential hedge potential situation here where the
odds could drop so significantly that you're getting plus seven hundred,
and Manchester City looks awful in their one game and
they're somehow bounced for whatever reason. I think there's some
value there, right, Yeah, I think that's true. Yeah, I would.
I would rather um in these situations, you know, bet

(39:56):
a a larger team earlier on. And then you know,
if we are if we're sitting there and we're looking
at you know, it's it's one game away, where at
the we're the quarterfinal, we're at the semifinal or whatever,
you know, and I mean even in that final game,
you know what we think City will be minus two hundred.
So in terms of like the theoretical odds you're making
just just won't even be that big of a deal.
But we're gonna go ahead and head into break here

(40:17):
on the free kick. See you guys in just a
few minutes. Daily Rodo dot Com learned from the game's

Hello everybody, and welcome back to the free Kick final
segment of the day. Martino Guccio, Davis Mannock. I was
so eager to finally get to talk some Staria at football,
because it has been forever since I've been able to

(41:02):
talk about it. Um it's been in the typical situation, Davis,
where he vent Us is in prime position to win
the league. Lazio made it a close for a little while,
and then the break happened. We know Cchierro and Mobila
has just been on this goal scoring rampage that we
really haven't seen since h Wain wrote the goal scoring
record that was standing for almost fifty years. An interesting
fact for a lot of people that don't know, there's

(41:24):
only been two goal scorers since the nineteen sixties to
score over thirty goals in Seria. That's been Luca Toni
and Gonzalo Iguayen for them. I mean it's and there's
been a ton of great strikers that have come and
gone through this league. Ibrahimovich and his prime was one
of them, Brazilian Ronaldo Marco van Bashan. All these guys
unable to get thirty goals. Davis Cheering Mobila was in

(41:47):
the mid twenties at this point, and there's still twelve
games left for all these teams to play. Um. I mean,
this is this is realistic here for him to catch this?
Has he been the m v P of the DFS
fantasy season for Italy. I think you could you could
say Cheero or you could uh I. I actually think
the Roma guys because they're so consistent with their fantasy points,

(42:09):
you know, Alexander Kolorov, Lorenzo Pellegrini, uh some of those,
some of those guys for Romos are actually yeah, Zonniolo,
Nicola's Agnolo, very very young kids from plays you know,
center attacking midfielder, right winger actually kind of like Martin
Oregard who we were talking about earlier in the show.
Very very similar play styles there for for those two guys.
But you know, what's what's what I find so interesting

(42:31):
about um Italy is twelve games less than the season
and Juventus is not minus one million to win the title.
There is theoretically a path left for Lazzio to claim
the Syria title this year. I I probably would not
bet on them at plus two fifty, but those seem
like fair odds and certainly, you know, not odds that
we expect to see late in the season. Right, Generally,

(42:54):
by this point in the season, uh, you know, Napoli
or a C Milan or Inter Milan has has their
their title challenge has faded away. Yeah, And the funny
thing is that, um, there's a lot of different scenarios
in this, right, Juventus the whole philosophy and drive at
this point in recent years has to have been the
Champions League. Right. They haven't won it since the mid

(43:14):
to late nineties. They wont everything they could win in Italy.
The domestic dominance is just absurd. It's compared to the
to the Yankees in the late nineties or whatever. The
Patriots dominance as well. Um, that's how ridiculous they've been.
So the fact that they don't really have to focus
on Champions League right now means they could just focus
strictly on Seria. And if they could do that, then

(43:34):
they're just gonna pull away like this, and I don't
see a scenario in which they could do so. I
think Inter actually has a lot more value than Lazio
does at this point. Inters plus twelve hundred to end
up winning Seria. And one of the things I say
this for is that Antonio Conte teams usually tire out
at the end of the year. Right. He's very similar
to Tom Thibodeau. That we were discussing prior to going
on the air is that Tom Tibodeau really plays a

(43:57):
certain rotation of guys. It's very limited, doesn't use his
his bench that much, and he really drives guys into
the ground and they get tired at the end of
the season. Sometimes they cost them trophies, cost the Champions
League trophies. Sometimes the title with Chelsea um for example,
is another one. But the fact that they had this
unprecedented break, they have a lot of guys coming back
from injuries sensei as well. Maybe they incorporate Christian ericson

(44:21):
a lot better than they did when they got him
back in January. I think they have the potential to
do this. But at the end of the day, Juventus
beating them twice each time that they faced them, and again,
it's really hard to bet against Byron Juventus against them
in the league until you see it happen. I know,
it's really lazy. I know it's it's something that a
lot of people don't like to buy into because it's

(44:42):
not the greatest analysis in the world. But at the
end of the day, you can't really bet against something
that you haven't seen before. So for me there there
really isn't that much to look forward to in terms
of the futures for this league. You're probably better off
taking Huva now if you want to take them, because
it's only going to go up in my opinion, because
Chris Gieno Ronaldo want more rest. I mean, come on now,
is there anything else you can say at that point?

(45:04):
So for me, look, it's Juventus is title to lose.
But in terms of DFS, I'm sure you love Atalanta, right.
I mean, at the end of the day, they're just
they totally break all the rules. Man. For Serah, it's
just always a defensive league. They want to play catnacho,
which is just counterattacking football, make you pay for the

(45:24):
mistakes you made. But for them, it's high pressing, scoring
as many goals as you can. Um So tell me
what do you what do you love about them? Papa
Gomez il duvon Sapata. I mean, there's so many different
guys that you could look towards on this team. They
they're able to just plug him in as well. And
I know Luis Mariel stepped up in the absence of
Sapata too. Yeah. I mean Joseph Lachich is if none

(45:47):
of you guys ever got to watch him play, he's
kind of like, uh kind of you know, you're just
tall and lanky and uh, you know, just kind of
moves defenders around where he wants and he'll he'll shoot
from anywhere, you know, he will. He will put the
ball wherever wherever, Like if he's if he's twenty yards
out and he thinks he's got a clear shot of goal,
he puts it in there. And you know, Papu Gomez

(46:08):
is kind of the exact opposite, you know, small, small guy, uh,
you know, just really fast, really nimble on the ball.
Kind of surprising actually that he has not found a
home in the Premier League at any point, because he
is he would be a really good fit there in
terms of a guy who can just really, you know,
really intelligently cycle the ball around and uh and you know,

(46:29):
takes corner kicks, takes free takes set pieces and does
a really good uh does a really good job on those.
So I I do really like them. I also love, uh,
I love teams that play with wing backs and really
give those wing backs the freedom to attack. Like nothing
worse than watching a team with wing backs that asked
those guys to do nothing but to do nothing but defense.

(46:49):
So I really like that hands had a bower from
the Netherlands and uh, I don't I don't know, I
don't know the right backs first name Goosen's he's from Germany.
To go since yeah, yeah, he's been unbelievable. He's probably
been the best fullback in the league this year. Um
Notteo Hernandez phrase Milan has probably the best goal scoring
rate out of all left backs um in the league.

(47:10):
I think he gets a goal like every couple hundred
minutes and that's that's really astronomical for a fullback. UM,
it's really trying. The position of fullback has really transitioned,
um much differently than what it was back in the day,
because they just used to ask you to defend and
push up when it was asked of you. But now
it's just like keep the full press on and in

(47:31):
Liverpool is probably the best example of it, right. Andrew
Robertson and Trent Alexander Arnold are guys that just you know,
high volume of crosses inside the box. Get him in there,
try try to give yourself some more goal scoring opportunities.
And that's kind of where Atalanta fits as well. Any
other teams or players in the league that catch your eye,
I mean it is for for people who have not

(47:51):
watched Roma. They were they were a really fun team
to watch in the UH in the Europa League this
year they are there. I think, you know, a really
interesting team, so people will People will probably remember Ed
and Jeco from his time at Manchester City. He was
he he was there with them, Mario Baltelli. But they

(48:13):
had they had another tabs. Yeah, I mean they just
had They had a load of good guys and and
Jacko now is kind of, you know, transitioned into being
a complimentary style player. But also Napoli not as fun
now that they have different coaching, but their front line
with the interchanging. So they have Lorenzo and sign A,
Dre Martens and Jose Callahan who kind of do the

(48:36):
Manchester City style Liverpool style, you know, front three, and
you know, all of them are moving in different directions
and they're they're switching positions, they're taking up each other's positions.
They are you know, getting insane amounts of of shots
on goal per game. Like I just think, I think
that Napoli is probably a really underrated team from the

(48:56):
American audience. Yeah, they really are. You know, who's a
big thing one of them, by the way, I don't
know if you know, the shadow Chosinko is a huge
fan of Napoli actually, so it's one of the more
random things. I think he loved picking them up on
FIFA and playing with them. But yeah, but you're right though,
Jennaro Gotuso who took over. He was coaching C Milan
last year. It's a very defensive style and minded coach,
very different from Sarti who was wit Napoli now at

(49:18):
Juventus and and Chelsea formally where you had that real
attacking style of football. Our Katie's Milk is a guy
for them. I think you could depend upon from time
to time, but he's really inconsistent. He has injury issues.
He's torn his A c L a couple of times
as well. Um, but gnopoly, I think this break serves
them well because they were having a big time season
in terms of turmoil, having a lot of uh sleepaway

(49:40):
camps if you will, to try and get the team
morale back up. So hopefully they figured those things out
and we'll see there with but to end the segment
in the show, we wanted to look forward to some
Bundesligua picks in games for this weekend. Davis, what do
you have? Uh? Well, the first team that I like
is you can get eetrack Frankfurt at plus money to
win their game this week. I just continue to be

(50:02):
impressed by them. I think that the betting markets are
are really not adequately handling how good of a team
they have been. You know, Minds is bad, like my
minds are are just not a good team at all.
They can't generate any attack. They seem leaky at the back. Uh,
they've missed their last two penalties with um mark oo,
you know, just just messing things up. And actually now

(50:25):
they're they're you know, most active player, their player who's
involved the most on offense. Mark Uth has now been
demote like or suffered a soft tissue injury and was
not even in the eighteen man squad last week. So
I think Iron Trek Frankfurt is just absolutely massive. There's
probably probably my favorite bet of the week. Yeah, I

(50:45):
mean I I could definitely see that happening. Andre Silva
is finally getting into some form. He scored the header
the other day when they were playing, so that that
was nice to see there. Um, I I agree with you.
I think they played well and stretches and there is
some value there to take on them and um, look
they were they still have to fight off, not completely,
but there's a scenario in which they have to worry

(51:07):
about relegation a little bit. So I don't think they're
gonna be taking their foot off the gas anytime soon.
And speaking of taking their foot off the gas, I
mean Bayern Munich and Byron Lever Cruising for me is
definitely an interesting matchup this go around, simply because of
the implications for Lever Cruising in this right. I mean,
we always reference how important it is to make Champions League,
and I think that factors into a lot of these
games here and for Bayern Munich, you have to wonder

(51:31):
to a certain extent how much they're going to take
this seriously, Like how much are they going to play
Robert Lewandowski at this point? Is is there a scenario
where they're kind of just saying to themselves, Hey, we
don't really want to push the pedal to the metal
that much. Do we want to go that hard for
ninety minutes? Do we want to keep our guys somewhat
rested for the potential return of the Champions League Because
they're primed to potentially win their sixth one UM, which

(51:55):
would tie with Liverpool all time for third. So I
mean there is a scenario that they could take their
foot off the gas there I have a minus one
ten to win the first half. I do think there's
a scenario as well that they could have this game
total under three and a half goals simply because these
teams are gonna be playing really tight to each other. Um.
But the thing is this, the scenario I see it
going over three and a half is if Buyern Munich

(52:17):
gets out early, because then Lever Cruisin is gonna have
to press and try and score as much as they can.
If that happens, then that leaves their defense open and
Lewandowski is gonna make them pay. Alfonso Davis is going
to make them pay. If they get Thiago back this
week weekend, it could spell doom for them. So I
think that's a matchup I've been looking forward to anything
else for you. Yeah, I mean I I just think

(52:39):
that match is gonna be really great because it matters
a ton for Buyer Lever Houston does not matter that
much for does not matter that much at all. I
I one other bet I like is Hoffenheim against Fortuna Dusseldorf.
So dou Seldorf is you know, just kind of your
your classic relegation fodder team. Hoffenheim has loads of guys
who are going to be, you know, really good professional

(53:00):
soccer players and have been really good professional soccer players
for for a long time, so I will I will
definitely be UM taking that side of that game and
pretty pretty good price, you know, because we think that
the home and road hasn't mattered that much. So plus
one two for half and I'm in that game. I
I really like it. Yeah, I mean, anytime you could
have a scenario where you get where you're feeling really
good against a relegation sign plus one and fifty two.

(53:22):
You're not going to really get that in a lot
of places, especially considering the triple money line that you
have withdraws UM and UM sorry wins and losses UM.
I know both teams scores an interesting one as well
and results, so I think that is something to always
keep an eye on. I know I was discussing that
with Munch in glodback, but Davis, that is gonna take
it for the end of this show. Thank you so much.
