Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRaimondo scored a hat trick for Frosinone, so congratulations on that.
Ignatius Boateng-ValeThank you, Vera. Allow me to clarify: three goals is a team effort, and the team begins with the pasta we serve at half-time.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorSo to be clear, Raimondo scored all three goals, and you sold the pasta.
Ignatius Boateng-ValeAllow me to clarify again.
Ignatius Boateng-ValeI sold the pasta, but I also stirred it, and this ladle was in the room when the third goal went in.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorThe ladle.
Ignatius Boateng-ValeAllow me to clarify: it is the real match ball. The pitch ball is a decoy, and I will say no more about it.
Ignatius Boateng-ValeAlso, Frankfurt ended its home drought, and my cousin owns a bratwurst stand there, so draw your own conclusions.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorYou are claiming credit in two countries. I'll ask you once more: how many goals did you score yourself?
Ignatius Boateng-ValeAllow me to clarify. Zero goals, one ladle, and a very strong feeling.
Vera Bullock · Co-AnchorRex, can you tell me whether a feeling counts as an assist?
