Now, you don't normally get that three, four games into a managerial tenure.
So Matarazzo somehow has performed magic with his Sociedad team and gotten results.
And once you get this game, certainly in terms of the players and being welcomed by the players, it's pretty simple.
You win games, you get results.
We're buying in.
And as of right now, given the results that he's had, everybody's on board.
Not just within the dressing room, but he spoke about the city and everything that's happening there and clearly a connection with the city.
As a fan base, you can't believe what's been happening.
And it's an incredible... The other thing that kind of struck me is how soft-spoken he is, yet somehow madness to say...
All the right things every single time.
It ticks so many boxes.
Listen, we're four games in.
We may be getting ahead of ourselves, but it's as good a start as you could have hoped for.
Yes, I think without question.
And absolutely, floating under the radar, as Casey said, with his time in Germany, again, not blowing the park out of the water, kind of giving him Champions League runs, etc., but has put together an incredible body of work that he can lean on.

what he has done before his style um dare i say his philosophy again we're getting too far ahead of ourselves we're only four games in but you get the result with a team like sociedad against a team like barcelona that makes everybody set up a notice

You're sitting comfortably in ninth table.
But then you look up at Betis in, what, fifth or sixth in that.
