Go to Cesenatico or Rimini for vacation. You can also visit San Marino. An enclaved sovereign county in the Emilia-Romanga, close to the shores of the Adria. You can also make day trips to Rome/Vatican or/and Venice. Me, as a German speaker was also able to visit the Campo Santo Teutonico, a cemetery for "Germanic people" inside the Vatican. But you have to approach the swiss guards in German to get entry. It's s cool "hidden gem". I also recommend "Mirabelandia", a fun park with awesome rollercoasters! The port/canal in Cesenatico was designed by Leonardo da Vinci himself. *_GO FOR IT!_*
I went to the Europa League final in Baku in 2019 and watched us beat Arsenal to win the title in Hazard's last game and attended the Azerbaijan GP a couple of weeks later. It was really fun.
@@areebsiddiqui758 Cool! How was the city? PS: I don't know why Kazakhstan an Azerbaijan are UEFA members. Their countries are clearly in Asia and it would be much easier to qualify for the World Cup over the Asian Football Confederation. Israel is obvious. ..
@@yannick245 The old city is really fascinating. Went around with some friends and it was a lot of fun. The F1 track goes around an old castle which is pretty sick. The football scene is a lot more developed in Europe so I'm presuming that's why they're a part of UEFA. And their domestic clubs get to play in European competitions I guess. And their still kind of a part of mainland Europe so it's close proximity geographically.
@@yannick245 Azerbaijan border the European side of Russia and are located to the West of the Caspian Sea which is Europe. If they were located on the East side of the Caspian Sea like Turkmenistan then they'd be Asians. Kazakhstan however are certainly more Asian than European but in football they wanted to be part of UEFA to help their football development and also a small part of their country is European which made them eligible to join UEFA. Israel is simply political reasons as the land thieves are unwelcome in the Gulf.
So many Serie C sides get back to back promotions. SPAL, Leece, Benevento have all done it and on smaller budgets. I think Monza are going to sneak into serie a through the playoffs.

Dude what an interesting video. Your like the only youtuber that is actually passionate and knowledgeable on this stuff. Like without HITC Sevens I would of never known.
btw if Balotelli had any sort of mentality he would’ve been the best 9 in the world for the last decade. if you don’t agree you clearly didn’t watch him at inter until euro 2012
Chievo, SPAL and Venezia are going to be in those promotion play-offs too - Getting promoted into Serie A isn't easy. And next season Crotone, Parma and Cagliari will likely be in Serie B. Even given their troubles this season you'd expect Parma to go straight back up.
Monza is a nice place with a beautiful Cathedral. I felt though it was really a suburb of Milan and I suspect the locals usually support Inter or Milan. English people think of Stockport and Manchester or Gateshead and Newcastle.
What most people don't know is Berlusconi used to play his guitar in the Underground in London as a young adult for money. He wasn't always rich. You are right about one thing Alfie, he does love football and I think this is his sailboat...
I'm not sure about it, but I think one of the main problems might have been bureaucracy, which often represents a great obstacle for building/restructuration projects here.
Suggestion for a video,seven players with most :player of the year awards in thier own country , like Ibrahimovic,Messi, Ronaldo or obscure like Klaavan,Hleb
And now that Monza will play against AC Milan and Inter Milan next season, it looks like that Kevin Prince-Boateng and Mario Balottelli are very happy that the club were promoted to the Serie A for the first time (even though they have moved on to other clubs). Silvio Berlusconi himself is very happy that it will play against his former club next season. See you in the top flight Monza.😀

With Sheffield United just relegated, maybe can do a video on second season syndrome? Maybe can highlight teams whom perform superbly in first season, only to be relegated the second season?
I like doing this on FM sometimes - choose a lower league/non league side. Give them an ambitious owner with cash and then let them sign the best free agent veterans and youth international players they can get to help the club progress.
Once Italian clubs have been refounded once the club's soul is already gone, so the refounded club tends to take huge win-or-bust moves that lead to further refoundings. Messina have been refounded 8 times. It's just madness...

*Balotelli + Boateng = Footballing “Legends.”* Wow, for a cat like myself who has followed the *Serie A* for the last 25 years +, how the *”bleep”* did I ever miss that revelation? 🤔 🙄
You can hardly call balotelli a legend. He's had a legendARY career, but that was mainly for fireworks, fighting, giving homeless people thousands of pounds, scoring major tournament match winning goals to take his national team to the finals of Euro 2012, etc etc His actual status itself would be far from 'legend' in most people's opinions and more like 'wasted potential.
I'm actually from Monza, and... I don't actually know how many people will choose monza over Inter or Milan if the team achieves to arrive in Serie A... I mean, yeah, I will simpatize for Monza, but in Monza, being so near to Milan, a lot of people are Inter or Milan's fans, with a little but significatn portion of juventus fan.
