Misery in Madrid

21:12The FC Crew:So, yeah, they can score goals, but also they can concede, and that's the most worried part when you want to go through. This could be like 7-4, Canale, tomorrow. It's just going to be silly. Well, yeah, see, the people that are making the argument for La Remontada, the comeback for Barcelona, are forgetting one very basic thing. This Barcelona team did lose for nothing to Atletico Madrid. They did give up four goals, and it could have been more. While I have no doubt that Barcelona has an opportunity to win the match, what I also have no doubt is that they will leave all sorts of spaces for Atletico Madrid as they desperately push forward to somehow make this happen.

21:55The FC Crew:And yes, to your point, Dan, 5-3 seems very likely. And actually, I would be surprised if it wasn't like that. I would be surprised if it was just, you know, kind of no drama, 2-0 Barcelona wins in Atletico Madrid advance. I don't think that's the sort of game that we're going to see. Yes, 5-3, 7-4, whatever you want to call it, it's going to get out of control. Mario, some of the cues football have been a bit boring these days. Tomorrow will be anything but that, won't it?

22:22Mario Melechiot:Oh, yeah, man, but this is what you like to watch, right? Because, you know, even with these guys, you know, look, guys, if I had the opportunity to sit with all four of you and watch this game, I'll be more than happy, guys. You know why? I'm off, Mario. I'm busy. Because this is football. This is football. This is football. Even if he's in Spain, I'll say, hey, brother, come over, man. Let's watch some football. Because this is the game, guys. If you don't look. And what I always ask myself, why everybody, when they turn up at Barcelona, it looks like everybody's a little bit tired. Because they are too much in the, you know, when they look around the stadium, the beauty and everything.

22:57Mario Melechiot:I hope that doesn't happen to Atletico. Because sometimes I see, and they had it too. But I hope it doesn't happen in this game. I want to see a real football game where two teams go at it, regardless if Barcelona is at home.

23:09The FC Crew:Yeah, what about Atletico Madrid's approach? Very interesting press conference. Very interesting, brave, stupid question from a Barcelona media member. Here it is.

23:21The FC Crew:First leg victory right after that score. There was a lot of talk about the situation, about whether any team could fail to advance the final or lose this advantage. It would be Atletico Madrid. How does the coach of a team that has managed to win four goals to nil process that? What's the question? You can rephrase it because it was a bit confusing. OK, there were a lot of comments surrounding the... From whom? The general atmosphere in the media, in discussions. I don't comment on what others say. Yes! Luis, he's your mate.

23:55The FC Crew:I totally understand. I mean, if you are looking to go through a final and you won 4-0 and you hear a question about, is your team going to lose the game big time? So you are that bad that you're going to miss this chance? Yeah, I think it's not the right question. I think that this moment is more about how are you going to try to stop Barcelona, not how are you going to try to defend yourself or not conceding for goals. So I don't know. This kind of question is the ones that I don't understand. So I think the Simona was right. I totally didn't agree with him. But if you're the journalist, own it.

24:31The FC Crew:You ask the question. Don't say, well, people are talking about it. People have been saying, who are these people? Own it. You say, hey. I would have said Luis Garcia. Yeah. That's who said it. I heard Luis Garcia. Luis Garcia said that you guys are going to give all of this up. And La Remontada has happened. Mario agreed. Mario Malchia as well. Absolutely. Own it. I'm watching. I'm the witness. Have the witness. Does anyone think it's going to happen? Mario, do you think we're going to see it? Will Barcelona get through?

25:06Mario Melechiot:It's a tough one, guys. You know, I don't want to upset you guys. Own it. Own it. Okay. I don't think this is going to happen.

25:16The FC Crew:Okay. Well, you can see it all play out. That's what people are saying. It's brilliant. It's why we love this game tomorrow. It should be fantastic. Barcelona against Atleti. Live on ESPN+. Plus coverage starts at 2.30 Eastern. Then we're back on Wednesday. Real Sociality against Athletic Club. Real will, of course, with a 1-0 lead going into that tie.

Let's talk about Pedro Neto, shall we? Because apparently he didn't know that he was already on a yellow card. He, of course, got sent off in the second half. Chelsea down to 10 men once again. Boys, you've all played. Mario, obviously you've played at this level. Is it feasible that he didn't know he was already on a yellow?

27:57Mario Melechiot:Come on, guys. Look, when you play football, there is one thing on your head, on your mind, I mean. And it doesn't matter who you play against. You know when you got booked because you always put in your mind, like maybe a defender has more than an attacker, but you know that, hey, listen, I've got to be careful now because then the next one could be I'm going home. So for him now to say that he didn't know the hat, and also the other part is how many reds did Chelsea already had this season? And he knows, he's part of that team. So being part of a team that's got booked, what is it, nine or whatever number you want to call it, and then you say, I didn't know?

28:34Mario Melechiot:No, that's not possible. He knew that he had the yellow card, and he knew the tackle that he was, it was a tackle. I call this a tackle that I don't want to do that run with you. Yeah. That's the tackle I call it.

28:44The FC Crew:It's exactly what Frank described it as yesterday, lazy. He says it's a lazy attacking challenge and he gets booked as a result. Why are your team so naughty? Why does everyone keep getting sent off, Mario?

28:56Mario Melechiot:Because sometimes, you know, like, normally you have one guy in the team, the other side, like a Rudiger, that puts his foot down and everybody's like, OK, but now everybody's joining in and that's not a good thing. And I talked about it yesterday, actually, and I said that too. And I said, the key thing now is you want everybody to be fiery, but you also have to have people that can control themselves. And at the moment now, it looks like everybody wants to prove a point and have to be careful because it's going to cost them a lot. And you can see now, you understand, Neto is a very important team player and you don't want to miss him because the speed, the breaks, the dribbles that he makes and everything, just anybody.

29:37Mario Melechiot:Come on, guys, you don't have time for this, Especially when you play against Arsenal. They're good at knowing to get you a foul.

29:42The FC Crew:Can I ask you a question? You can ask me whatever you want. You can ask me whatever you want, Ali. I don't want to take your role. This is just one single question, Dan. Sorry. What do you think is dumber? To not know that you're on a yellow car, or make the argument that you didn't know you were on a yellow car, or to make that challenge when you're already on a yellow car? That's a very good question, Ali. Well, that... You tell me. Yeah. It's going to make that challenge, surely. Well, yes, but to make the argument that you don't know you're on a yellow card and to think that people are going to believe that, I think that breaks through the threshold of dumb.

30:19The FC Crew:That takes it to a different entirely level. It's a great defense. I didn't know. Yeah, I didn't know it was going to be there. Don't give me a second yellow for that. Look, I'm sorry. That's all we're going to talk about, Arsenal, Chelsea. You talked about it a lot yesterday. I'm sorry. What about the set pieces? You don't want to talk about that? I'm not going to have set pieces. Arsenal are going to win the league. It's all fine. It's all all right. Should we laugh at Spurs instead? Sure, why not? Let's look at where they are. Obviously, very much in a relegation scrap, in big trouble. They're just lucky that Nottingham Forest and West Ham are in this league as well.

30:46The FC Crew:Four points of difference, obviously. Igor Tudor coming in. This is what he had to say about his team's performance so far. I said to the players, it's always what you're going to do, what you want to do with yourself. You know, more personality, more wish to do before reacting, you know. Plenty of things, a lot of things. We are lucky when we attack, we are lucky of the quality to score the goal, we are lucky in the middle to run and we are lucky behind to stay there and suffer and not consider the goal. So amazing situation, amazing. I tell you, with that inspiration, I really think Spurs are going to battle on now and win every game.

31:37The FC Crew:Mario, why are you doing that publicly?

31:40Mario Melechiot:This is my question too, because I think you just, two games as a manager at a club. At a club that needs a big push and a big change. And what are the key things in this club, what they're missing, is players with confidence. And then you're going to come out and say that? No, that means that you're almost at the end already. He's almost talking like he's at the end. They, what is it, 10 games on the track? They keep on losing? No, this is not a great tactic for him. And that's why I don't understand it. Look, he might have his start process. And I think he has the prior, then when he took the job.

32:13Mario Melechiot:So I'm sure that he's aware of what he thinks and what he wants to do. But now you are in this position, coach. You need to bring confidence to the players and feel there. Make them feel unprotected by whatever comes out is just to protect us. And what is inside, you can do whatever you want. So he has the right to say whatever he wants in the team, but don't do it publicly because protect those guys.

32:37The FC Crew:There are two things already that have gone on with Igor Tudor that already concern me.

32:44The FC Crew:And it seems too soon, but I'm already concerned. The reports of him having the team running the beep test endlessly last week in preparation for the match on the weekend, that in itself is what in the world are you doing and what do you think you're going to get out of that? And two, you come in as a manager, and while, yeah, you may point the finger at the players internally, the one thing that you need to do is to gain the trust of those players. Whatever you may think of those guys, however limited you think the talent level is or however limited you think the personnel that you have available is, those are your guys right now and they have to be at their very best for you.

33:31The FC Crew:And in order for them to do that, you have to gain their trust. They have to be able to trust that what you say has value and has weight and has validity. When the first thing that you do is to grab those players and throw them squarely under the boss, the disconnection has already started. The fracture has already started. They didn't like you much when you had them running beep tests because they're probably asking the same question as I am. How is this going to help us over the weekend? Yeah. And then you follow that up with, don't look at me. It's this guy's. No character, no personality, no this, no that, and no...

34:12The FC Crew:How are the players supposed to trust this guy now? Difficult to figure out. Mario, your reaction to the report Jules put out yesterday, of course, them doing beep tests ahead of this game.

34:25Mario Melechiot:Yeah, look, I did peep tests, but I never did peep tests to the max because we would do it till seven. And seven is just to get you a sweat and have a test then and see like they will check your heart rate, they will check your blood, just to have to have an understanding of what's going on in your body and seeing what level of fitness are you. Are you too fit or are you too fatigue or whatever, you need recovery or whatever. But when he's going to do it to the max, you're in the Premier League guys, when it comes to the max, you can literally train and figure out like, okay, those guys are not fit enough.

34:53Mario Melechiot:We got to work on them, but you're not gonna bring down your whole team. You're new You also as a coach have to understand how this league works and then you're gonna do all these things now Look, I think look here. He has experience But don't overplay the books because you have to understand this game when it comes to the battle in England is Based on a lot of confidence and if you take that away from the players you have a shell you have a team without a shell. You know, it's like, it's empty. So you've got to figure this out really quickly because if not, four points away from the drop and never, a club that's never been in the drop, oh my God, this is going to be, who can handle this?

35:31Mario Melechiot:That's the question he should ask himself. Who in my team can handle this that I brought to the club? Because he has a lot of new players there that they spend a lot of money on. And I don't know if those individuals are ready to battle it out at the bottom.

35:43The FC Crew:So a huge surprise, obviously, Spurs battling relegation. Huge surprise. Manchester United is sitting third in the table. Interesting stuff, I suppose, from Ruben Amarin's assistant, saying, In Manchester, I like the city a lot, and the way the fans live in pre-football, more focused on the project than on immediate results. What I like less was undoubtedly feeling that ideas were not being fully implemented. OK. I suppose, what's he going to say, Mario? They wanted more time? Like, you had time? They can't say, yeah, we mucked it up.

36:17Mario Melechiot:No, I can't tell you one more time. I understand, Ali. You know what I wanted to do, Ali? They wanted to go and have some dinner and talk about it and really with the owners and say, like, don't worry, next season we're going to be better. No, guys, it doesn't go like that. You've got to figure it out now. You've got to do it now. And don't be stubborn. Like, whatever club you go to now, if it doesn't work out straight away, okay, the size of Man United, you maybe not, you understand, it's not going to be quickly available for you. Or, you know, a Man United, a Real Madrid, a Barcelona, You know, like those kind of teams or another team in England.

36:49Mario Melechiot:It's crucial. But if you get players that are not performing, and then you get a Cesco making that kind of goal for you, oh my God, guys, that means like now as a guy, it's a different person. And then Fernandes is playing football the way he wants to play football. He's not playing football that I got to be on the side and I got to track back and be in the middle. No, if you see the second half that Man United played yesterday, it was incredible. That kid was like, he was playing football like he was in the park. And that is what he's good at. But Amorim could not get that out of him.

37:23The FC Crew:This is a really good example as to how powerful of a brand Manchester United really is, even when they have had their struggles. That we are here talking about a quote from, not from Ruben Amorim, but his assistant coach, Adelio Candido. that somehow he makes this show because he's saying, I like the city. It's all right. You can go out to eat. It was fine. We would have liked some more time. How about, look, I suppose you want to defend yourself, Andruen Amorim. Of course. That's obvious. But here's the problem. And it's really damning evidence for the both of them. Adelio Candido and Ruben Amorim.

38:08The FC Crew:this same group of players with a different manager is winning games while you guys were not. So no, you did not deserve more time. A lot more. A Nando's. I bet he went to Nando's, Mario. Mario loves a Nando's. Oh, I'm sure.

38:21Mario Melechiot:I'm going to see it again. Don't worry about it, Dan.

38:26The FC Crew:You need to get some sponsorship. A lot more of what happened this weekend. Manchester United, of course, being Crystal Palace on the latest edition of the Gavin Jules Show.

41:25The FC Crew:So just a reminder, Real Madrid nil, Getafe 1 is how it finished. our feature game at the Santiago Bernabeu. Alex Kirkland was there for us. He joins us now. Alex, you've just been at the press conference. I imagine the vibe was, what's the word, rather low? Yeah, sorry to keep you waiting, Dan. The vibe from Jose Bordelaz of Getafe was pretty ecstatic. He was enjoying every minute of their first win here in 18 years, as you'd expect. Alvaro Albeloa, a bit defensive, I would say, insisting that his team had created more chances than Hetafe. He said, I cannot criticise the effort of my players.

42:03The FC Crew:But of course, he admitted, yes, they could have played better. He was asked, is the title race over? He said, no, that would be premature. It's four points. He said, there are 36 points left to play for, I think, which I think the maths is right. And he said, we will fight for every single one of those points. So like I say, a little bit offensive. The one thing he did accept was that he said, I don't know what Mas Tantuono said to pick up the red card, but he said he must have said something and that can't happen. and also the fact the likes of Dean Howson gets the yellow and is suspended as well, I think, for the next game coming up.

42:30The FC Crew:That's not ideal as well. So, Mitty, one or two things, but overall, like I say, a little bit defensive and saying, no, look, we played okay, we played better, we had chances, we just didn't take them. How are the fans? I mean, it's quiet out here now, but that's because some of the fans were getting out of their seats and heading for the exit before the final whistle, and so now quite a bit afterwards, it's quiet outside the Bernabeu. And the fans, they were not happy. They were not happy at all. with the performance, with the results. There were whistles. There were some chants aimed at one or two chants, I heard, aimed at the president.

43:04The FC Crew:Not widespread, but one or two of those. And there were whistles during the game as well. For example, when the youngster Tiago Pitarch was substituted, there were definitely clear whistles there for Arbeloa, the coach, and for that decision. Arbeloa said, I get that. I understand that. Tiago played really well. It wasn't about his performance. That wasn't why I took him off. It was tactical. And meanwhile, it's Santa Vigo now on Friday, Alex. A game in which they should have been playing to go above Barcelona. Yeah, not an easy place to go, Baloguida. Celta having a pretty good season. Celta playing good football, playing a more kind of cohesive, coherent, entertaining football than Real Madrid right now.

43:40The FC Crew:That's going to be a tough game. Look at the absentees. You know, no Kylian Mbappé, no Jude Bellingham. Like I say, the likes of Mastantano tonight picking up a suspension and question marks at the back and in midfield. and today, Arbeloa, he couldn't find the solution. He sort of threw players on. You end up with Rodrigo on there, Mastantuono on there with Vinicius and Gonzalo Garcia. None of it worked. Right now, look, if Madrid play anything like they played tonight against Celta, they're not getting a win at Balleros. The improvement will have to be substantial, I think. Alex, as always, thank you very much.

44:09The FC Crew:Much appreciated. Just a reminder, of course, plenty of action to come, not only in the Copa del Rey, but La Liga as well. You've got Rave Akanem taking on Oviedo and then a full programme this weekend, including Barcelona and the new San Marmés away against Athletic Club Real Madrid. Of course, in action on Friday, as we mentioned, against Celta Vigo. All those games, as always, live on ESPN+. That is it. That brings us to the end of today's show. Be sure to stay tuned. Mario Bakali as well to answer some of your questions. A mix of Real Madrid and Chelsea seem to be the theme. Stay tuned.

44:49The FC Crew:Welcome in to the latest edition of Extra Time. Thank you very much for all your questions. Ali is here. Mario joins us as well. How have you been, Mario? All good?

44:58Mario Melechiot:Yes, I'm very good.

44:59The FC Crew:Thank you. I'm good. I'm good. Good man. Right. Did you guys enjoy the Getafe time-wasting masterclass? How frustrating is it to play in a game against a team who have mastered the dark arts? Mario? Yeah.

45:14Mario Melechiot:It's tough, but it happens. I mean, look, we also have to give them credit because when you're not the team that has the capabilities as a side like Real Madrid, you're gonna open all the tricks you get. And one of the tricks is the one I hate the most when I play against teams like that. But still, you know, they're out there. They're gonna wait, kick the ball away, get fouls, go down. You know, the goalkeeper can catch the ball normally. No, he goes down and he rolls on the floor. Oh man, all those stuff? Hey, that's part of the game, guys. I'm sorry, I didn't make it up, but I don't like it.

45:47Mario Melechiot:But it's just part of the game and I understand it when it happens. I don't think they were that dark, are they?

45:52The FC Crew:No, but it's within the personality of Bordalassa's team to have this sort of edge or this preconception about them that they're going to do something within the boundaries of the game that you kind of go, well, that's... that's nothing. That's borderline. One of the things, and I don't know whether Mario is going to enjoy this or not, but one of the things that as a player, when we were under pressure, I knew full well that what the time was and what my job was at that point. How do we close this out? We know we're under pressure. We know we're a lesser team. What do I need to do? How do I make myself useful?

46:36The FC Crew:And the oldie but a goodie that I don't know that people do nearly as well as they once did, when you are brought down and it's a foul, you've got to give it the old roll to grab enough attention from the referee to now consider the possibility of bringing the medical staff in. But right before he's about to bring him in, Then you get yourself to one knee and give the thought that... What masterclass is this? You give the thought that maybe you're okay to continue. Yes. Then you get yourself up, you talk to the referee, now we're walking away, and now this is not time added. You see, we continue the time without anybody coming in, and referees usually will not add those extra 30 seconds.

47:28The FC Crew:So, what I would suggest is that people are not willing to go through this process to actually finish the game in the way that you wanted to finish and Hetafit, to the point of the question, did a very good job of doing that today. Mario, how hard would you have wanted to kick Ali?

47:46Mario Melechiot:Oh my god, I'm looking at it and I swear on my life, I'm thinking of that, I'm saying Ali, we were in the same game. Ali, oh my god, my friend. Listen, I will give you a hug before the game. I will give you a hug after the game. But during the game, I will kick you so hard and you will remember every part of my stunt.

48:06The FC Crew:Wow. But what about if I were your teammate

48:10Mario Melechiot:and I was doing that for us, Mario? That's different. If someone kicks you, then I come for you, my friend. Because you cannot touch Ali. That's how it works. That's how it works.

48:22The FC Crew:Real Madrid losing, of course, against Getafe today in La Liga. The last time they lost against Itafia Bernabeu, I was there. I was working for Real Madrid TV. That was a long time ago. Are you the common denominator? I don't know about that. Arbeloa, will he last the season? I think if you have made this change and you've made the decision that you're going to ride or die with this guy until the end of the season, the bigger question is, is he going to be around next season? And that's very much result dependent. And right now, the answer to that question is more likely to be no than yes. I think very.

48:58The FC Crew:Yes, very more than likely. Yes, very more than likely. Exceptionally more than likely. Is it time for Florentino Paris to step down? Madrid's recent downfall is mostly because of his failures to sign adequate replacements for the older players who left recently. Cruze and Modric. They're the big. Yeah, and so you're going to hang on to that. but the signings at the time were not thought to be failures. See, when Real Madrid went after Chua Mene, when they went after Camavinga, and you already had Valverde in place, you're thinking, potentially, these players are going to become the substitutes to guys like Modric and Kroos.

49:40The FC Crew:And at that point, Real Madrid didn't look like a team that was just freely spending without a thought process. In fact, the conversation would have been, hey, they're getting ahead of the curve and they're banking on guys like Chumeni and Kamavinga to develop. That just hasn't happened. So I don't know that you can put that on Florentino Perez. At some point, you also have to look at what these players were supposed to be and they haven't become what they were expected to become. Ali, what's the best South American national team you played against during your time with Venezuela? Brazil. Who did they have, Ali?

50:16The FC Crew:Oh, man. Let me just say, I had a very comfortable seat on the bench for this one, so I was able to evaluate and analyze everything that was going on. What was your analysis of the Brazil side? We're about to get our backsides handed to us. Just give us some players who are there. It's Ronaldinho, it's Ronaldo, it's Cafu on the right-hand side, Roberto Carlos on the other side, and you're going, oh, mommy. We started the game off well, and we were knocking the ball around, and we were at Brazil, and you know you're in trouble when you're knocking the ball around, right? And the Brazilian fans who have packed the stadium, they're still going, ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta-ta, eh, eh, eh.

50:56The FC Crew:They were not concerned about us at all. And sure enough, when they decided to pick up the pace and turn to a different sort of gear, a different type of level, it was bang, bang, bang, bang, bang, goal. And you're like, oh, but I thought we were doing it. Ali, warm up. Oh, no. Well, that's also the difference. It's like, all right, who do we have on the bench? Oh, no. Mr. Get up from injury, take 10 minutes. That doesn't help us now. Who do they have on the bench? Oh, it's Adriano. All right, hey. It's Robinho. Yeah, all right, okay. Yeah, no. And the Argentina team, when Maradona took over as the coach, at one point on the field, you had, in the back line, you had Zanetti who was an older player but as you sort of look into the rest of the team Verón was playing and he was heavily booed by the Argentinian fans which I didn't quite understand but then it was Messi it was Agüero and you're thinking and these are young Messi, young Agüero and the conversations are like are they going to be able to play together and then the sort of controversial decision is is Higuain really going to play And at this point, Higuain was scoring a bunch of goals for Napoli.

52:13The FC Crew:And you're thinking, we don't have that kind of problems in Venezuela. Right. So, yeah, different level. Mario?

52:19Mario Melechiot:Yeah. No, I love it. I love what Elia explains. Because I had it when I played against France. I come on the field, you understand. I look, I come on the field. I look around me and I go like, okay, Tressinger. Okay, yes. Difficult. Very, very difficult. Then I see Thierry Henry coming. Okay, I said, them two? and I was playing center half at that time, oh, I had to chase him down like crazy. So yes, I understand the feeling. When you sometimes play against top, top, top, top individuals, it's great because now you can match yourself to where you are as an individual, and that's what you want as a player.

52:55Mario Melechiot:But it also tells you like, okay, it's not only your country's got good players, now they're proving that France got great players. So that's what I came across in my national team period.

53:06The FC Crew:I don't think I was ever intimidated by teams or players. But when original Ronaldo and Phenomeno was walking to get on the field as we were about to start the match, you don't realize how big he was and how thick. And he was built like a brick house but could move and fly with the ball in his feet. and you're seeing it first and you go, yeah, guys, we don't have that. We don't have that. We have me. He was a floor saying that. We have me and I'm not that.

53:49Mario Melechiot:I am so agreeing with you, Ali. If there is one man that brought me to a stadium, no, two guys brought me to a stadium. It was freezing cold. I was 16 and I had only a pass and I actually go freely to watch the first team play. I was in the youth team as an Ajax player. It was Romario. And I don't know if people are familiar with him because he was incredibly good. And then the next thing, Romario leaves and Ronaldo comes. I'm going to the stadium again on my own. Nobody around me, 16 years old. And I'm watching Ajax PSV. And them two were playing. Oh, my God. They were like... I was thinking at one point, Dan, I'm telling you I wanted to be a pro.

54:28Mario Melechiot:I was thinking, do I need all this stuff to be able to compete with this kind of guys? I don't know what's going to happen in my career to make it. Oh, honestly, they were good.

54:39The FC Crew:And you made it, Mario, now you're with us. What a treat. Yeah.

54:43Mario Melechiot:I'm happy, I'm happy.

54:46The FC Crew:Mario, what position, finally, do you think Chelsea need to improve to become a contender?

54:53Mario Melechiot:To be a contender, I think, look, when I watch the game against Arsenal, I know they have a lot of wingers and they have a lot of young wingers, but one thing, they need balance to make sure that they can be dangerous all the time. And the setup needs to be well for them to do. I think as a team, I don't want to say they need to have more players, but they have to be dangerous. And don't stop. The first half, 20 years before they got to the goal of Arsenal, they pulled back and tried to control the tempo of the game. And I'm like, finish the action off. Second half to start doing it, okay, Arteta reacted really quickly and changed really quickly.

55:28Mario Melechiot:So for me, you understand, for me, I have to make sure that the coach has to understand that this team has to be dangerous all the time. You have to have wingers on the side that are capable of beating a player and scoring a goal. Because beating they can, but scoring, I see too less of it. I want more goals.

55:47The FC Crew:Donnarumma's bold spot. That is it. That brings us to the end. That's unnecessary. That's unnecessary. That is it. Thank you very much, Mario. Cheers, Ali. We'll be back tomorrow. Of course, I'll focus very much on Barcelona against Atleti in the Copa del Rey.

56:17The FC Crew:Brian Pata, senior defensive lineman from Miami. Gunned down. The key to this case, it's riot. Boy, he's ripped it. An hour before he died, he was on the phone arguing what's about. This might be a hit. You want the truth. They just want a conviction. They can place him to arrest. We had a killer amongst us. Murder at the U. Listen now.
