Golazzo: The Totally Italian Football Show

This week on Golazzo, Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back to a time when it was always sunny in Filadelfia.Gigi Lentini took Torino to new heights, including the UEFA Cup Final, and ended up in a transfer tug of war between Milan and Juventus in the summer of 1992\. Lentini took Silvio Berlusconi’s helicopter to the San Siro for a world record fee. £13 million was so astronomical that it managed to offend the Pope.But his life was changed forever as he sped to visit Toto Schillaci’s wife in 1993 and wrote off his Porsche. It was also the end of his career at elite level, thanks to a combination of a coma and Capello.In the modern day, we review the action in Serie A where Chievo are no longer pointless and Milan manager Gattuso has angered the government.RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1: An introduction to Gigi Lentini – the teenage prodigy (01m 00s)• PART 2a: Torino in the early 90s – the team that reached the 1992 UEFA Cup Final (05m 00s)• PART 2b: Lentini signs for Milan for a world record fee (13m 00s)• PART 3a: Lentini’s car crash in 1993 (17m 40s)• PART 3b: Lentini returns to Torino in 1997 – Dorigo, Souness and a run-in with Materazzi (21m 30s)• PART 3c: Lentini’s legacy – a failure?

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti this week salute Luca Toni. Not a lifeguard as some would have you believe but perhaps the last great Italian centre-forward.The big man was laying down outrageous goal scoring numbers before Ronaldo and Messi showed up. He was Serie A’s top scorer at the age of 29 and again at 38.Toni won the World Cup, the Golden Shoe and he scored a bundle for Bayern Munich, while also upsetting Louis Van Gaal and the Catholic Church.In short, he was so much more than the Italian Peter Crouch.Back in the present, the panel evaluate Italy’s striker search in finding the next Luca Toni. And speaking of strikers, will Milan’s injury crisis force them to call upon the Zlatan?Plus there’s what should be an emotional Genoa derby on the horizon this weekend.RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1: An introduction to Luca Toni – underappreciated?

With news breaking of Claudio Ranieri being appointed as Fulham manager, Jimbo and James Horncastle take a trip down memory lane with the man who wrote the book on Ranieri – literally – Gab Marcotti.We look at Gentleman Claudio’s journey in Serie A. From how his Roma side took Jose Mourinho’s all-conquering Inter to the limit, to his engineering of the great escape at Parma, as well as helping restore Juve’s battered reputation.Speaking of Juventus, they win at Milan as we discuss ultras - those that have a social conscience and those that drive tanks over cars.The managerial merry-go-round is in full swing in Serie A as Gian Piero Ventura proves he DOES know how to resign.Plus there’s the curious case of Frosinone’s number 89 and the panel reminisce about Rodrigo Taddei.RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1a: Ranieri the Roman – Claudio’s time in the capital (00m 30s)• PART 1b: Ranieri masterminds the great escape at Parma – Claudio the gentleman (06m 30s)• PART 1c: Ranieri’s time at Juventus – restoring their reputation (09m 45s)• PART 1d: How will Ranieri fare at Fulham?

This week on Golazzo, Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back on the life and times of Enrico Preziosi, one of Serie A’s most notorious owners.Preziosi was at the heart of Genoa’s biggest scandal in 2005 and is now trying to rewrite Genoa’s second biggest scandal some 80 years earlier.It’s a story involving match fixing and shootouts. And we don’t mean penalties.And there’s the matter of a manager passing away on live television.Plus we look back at last weekend’s Serie A action and ahead to Milan versus Juventus.

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti are back to discuss a man whose motto was ‘spend more than you earn.’Sergio Cragnotti was seen as a man from the future, with very few knowing where he got his money from. But as president of Lazio, he ploughed record amounts of cash towards the pursuit of silverware. And he forced Roma fans to boycott milk.Cragnotti’s reign began in jail and ended…in jailHe put together one of the most expensively assembled squads in history and then stole Sven-Goran Eriksson from under Blackburn’s noses and charged him with securing the title.We also analyse the latest action in Serie A, where Inter are the form team with six wins in a row. But Luciano Spalletti is still miserable.RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1: Sven’s off to the Philippines and we’re off to Jollibees (01m 00s)• PART 2a: Sergio Cragnotti arrives at Lazio amid political turmoil in Italy (03m 00s)• PART 2b: Sergio starts to spend, bringing in the big guns (09m 20s)• PART 3a: Christian Vieri causes a cappuccino strike in Rome (15m 00s)• PART 3b: Sven snubs Lancashire for Lazio (18m 35s)• PART 4a: Lazio’s squad in 1999/2000 (21m 30s)• PART 4b: Sven’s previous failed title bids – the successful loser?

As Lazio prepare to host Inter at the Stadio Olimpico on Monday, Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back at a date that is burned into the brains of Inter fans around the world.With a first Serie A title in 13 years on the horizon, Inter entered the day top of the table and finished it 3rd. It was a day when Lazio fans were supporting Inter, hoping that Juventus wouldn’t be champions and desperate for rivals Roma not to retain their crown.But Ronaldo’s last game for the Nerazzurri ended in tears as Hector Cuper’s Inter conspired to grab defeat from the jaws of victory.Elsewhere, the panel look back at an impressive victory for the Old Lady at Old Trafford and how Jose Mourinho is being received in his former stomping ground of Italy right now.Plus James Horncastle has been to the Milan derby where Inter leave it late again.

This week on Golazzo, we marvel at the player who has announced his retirement from football (for the third time), the one and only Antonio Cassano.The boy from Bari who loved football but probably not as much as he loved sex and sugar.Cassano packed more into his career than most – including heart surgery and over 700 women.Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti reminisce about a man who says if he made the most of his talent, he wouldn’t be on planet Earth right now.Elsewhere, Italy finally win a game as they beat Poland in the Nations League.

For many, it was the World Cup of Gazza, Higuita and Milla. But for Italy, it was the one that got away.Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti look back at the iconic Italia 90 and what it meant to the host nation.We reveal the staggering cost of staging the tournament and for how long Italy as a country were counting that cost.It was the World Cup that built broadcasting careers and it was the World Cup that a glamorous-looking Italian side were supposed to winBaggio broke out, Schillaci scored a lot and Italy recruited an army of fans including Madonna.But it was Maradona who helped turn Italians against their own team as Argentina broke the host nation’s hearts in the semi-final.Fast-forwarding to the present day, we take a look at Roberto Mancini’s current Italy squad and ask whether or not Mancini understands the point of the Nations League.RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1: Italy prepare to host the World Cup at great expense (02m 45s)• PART 2a: Glamorous Italy enter the tournament as favourites (08m 50s)• PART 2b: Roberto Baggio breaks out (13m 45s)• PART 3a: Italy negotiate the group stage (16m 10s)• PART 3b: Gab Marcotti attends Italy v Uruguay (18m 10s)• PART 3c: The Toto Schillaci phenomenon (20m 25s)• PART 4a: Semi-final heartache against Maradona’s Argentina (22m 45s)• PART 4b: The immediate fall-out for Italian football (30m 30s)• PART 5: Mancini’s Italy in Nations League action (36m 20s)GET IN TOUCH:• find us on Facebook, where you’ll find video, photos and loads of other stuff.• send us a tweet: @theTotallyShow• for sales and advertising email [email protected] Hosted on Acast.

Jimbo, James Horncastle and Gab Marcotti are chatting about El Chino this week on the Totally Italian Football Show.In a team containing Ronaldo, Zamorano and Djorkaeff, Uruguayan striker Alvaro Recoba was the man who Inter owner Massimo Moratti described as ‘quite simply football’Or to look at it from a less favourable point of view, was Recoba the biggest underachiever in the history of Serie A? He hated training but he loved to score direct from corners. It’s a story that features fishing, Pro Evo and Princess Diana.Elsewhere, we discuss the implications of Juventus CEO Beppe Marotta’s sudden departure and the impact it could have on Serie A’s winning machine.RUNNING ORDER:• PART 1: Alvaro Recoba – a lazy underachiever?
