00:00What did you think? Because I stopped in my tracks when I saw that Madrid coach leave and take the job as the coach of the Brazilian national team.
00:13Here's a guy that, I mean, does this guy not win everything in Real Madrid?
00:19I mean, the guy, all he does is win. They must have paid him a ton of money or something.
00:23I don't know the details. How did they lure him out of Madrid to go to Brazil?
00:30That Madrid job is you think of all the difficult jobs in college sports or professional sports here in America and you mount and you put them all in a mountain and that's being Madrid.
00:42Like the head coach at Madrid, it's in such a difficult position that I think that you just can only survive in that spot for so long.
00:53Well, Zinedine Zidane, the great Zizou, he was in that position and won three consecutive Champions League titles and just said, that's enough for me.
01:04I don't need to do this anymore. It's just an excruciating position to be in.
01:10When you're in it, you have the opportunity to win everything.
01:13Real has won Champions League more than any other team by far, but it's really a hard position to be in.
01:21And I think certainly he's not going into a low pressure situation with Brazil, but in that circumstance, you're expected to do one World Cup cycle.
01:29Maybe if you do well, then you can stick around for one Copa America cycle, but it's not considered to be a year after year after year thing.
01:37You build up toward next year, 2026, and then maybe you stick around for a year or two after that.
01:44It's not expected to be long term.
01:46So I totally get what Ancelotti is doing.
01:49It's just a difficult position to be in it, which is interesting because the juxtaposition is Trent Alexander-Arnold is leaving Liverpool,
01:57a Liverpool kid who grew up there and who went through their academy and who won the Premier League twice and Champions League once and multiple cups.
02:07And yet he's leaving because Real Madrid is the place every player supposedly needs to be.
02:12It's kind of lame if you think about it.
02:13That's my view on it.
02:15If you're a great player, you don't need to be on the best club to prove it.
02:19But that seems to be the ethos in European soccer.
02:23And so he's headed there.
02:25Meanwhile, his coach is saying no mas.
02:28Well, how about this?
02:30But this guy's leaving Liverpool.
02:31They just want another Premier League title.
02:34I mean, what's the matter?
02:34You're bored winning?
02:36So who do you like on the 31st with PSG?
02:39I know you've got to be rooting for Inter after the stories of you and your wife going to Milan to watch him play.
02:45I rooted for them the entire Champions League tournament.
02:50And that game's in Germany, right?
02:51I think the game's in Munich or something is where they're going to play the final.
02:54Who do you like in that PSG Inter game?
02:56Yeah, they play it on a neutral field, just like the Super Bowl.
03:00A lot of people dream about one day having that game here.
03:03I'm not sure that'll ever happen.
03:04But I just have been so impressed by PSG, Scott, Paris Saint-Germain.
03:09They have this ability to just strangle games when they need to, to control the ball when they need to.
03:17They don't generate a ton of goals, but I think they'll score enough against Inter.
03:24I really love this matchup.
03:26It's a lot of fun.
03:28But PSG, I think, has finally figured out.
03:31Again, you don't have to have an all-star team to win.
03:34That's what they did a decade ago.
03:36They tried to win with an all-star team.
03:38They tried it.
03:39And then they added on to the all-stars.
03:41They said, OK, we don't have enough all-stars.
03:43We need Lionel Messi and Neymar.
03:45And it still didn't work.
03:46Then all those guys left, and now they've got a great shot to win it.
