And btw, it's obvious that even the fans have to change their mentality. How do you expect to become the greatest team in SA when you don't have the desire to win every game? Are you nuts? We were facing a team today that had to show that they were worth sth, because they did badly, terribly, in the last game. Considering that, we were actually quite good, as tactically we only conceded a lucky goal...
I'm just happy we didn't go to ekstra time tbh. Why was Insigne crying here and not when he misses 4 sitters in the same game against spezia?
Maybe you are right, Sacki, but I do not think they were fake celebrating. You should know better, as a player. When you win against opposition that could have beaten you, in fact, opposition that should have dragged it on into extra time, you do feel exalted. These players do make millions, but they are still not philosophers, they're just a bunch of guys who will take this as a mentality boost going on forward... They still enjoy the game and they still count trophies. Of course, to us it seems a bit silly, but they have actually just won a trophy, and agaisnt one of the best sides in SA. I also think differently, but it is my nature to think just the way the ones I observe think, and it is quite easily understandable then.
Gattuso out. I am happy he did not win another trophy. Even the cup was BS. He plays ugly football and meaningless cups won’t change that when you don’t even finish top 4. Please get the ******** out if you have some pride.
You're mad. Do you even know why this Juventus was very different from before? And do you really expect us to ride them like a little whore? I think I fully understand now, an unbiased piece cannot play with its counterparts on the field of football...
I don't like the style of Gattuso. There is absolutely no creativity. It is the most boring football. Napoli will never achieve anything under him. It is so obvious.
But that is bad reasoning, of course. Bad style and success are not mutually exclusive. The style was enough to challenge a much better Juventus than the one which played against Inter. We were a bit timorous at times, and that was our biggest problem(and I expect Gattuso to solve this), but tactically we were on par with them completely, it was a very balanced game where each team could have won, decided by individuals(too bad we had those only in defence). Creativity is not that whcih determines success, so I don't quite understand how you can write sth of that kind. If you wrote effectivity, I'd agree, but creativity is a very wide, general term. Juventus lacked creativity against us, yet they won. Conclusion: Considering that we were once again fearful, we were absolutely great, considering simultaneously that we were playing the team that beat Barca not so long ago. Even if we don't take that well-know fear of ours into account, it was a balanced game, and we were not playing kids out there. Once again I must remind you that we had Petagna where they had Ronaldo and I will be quiet about Insigne which says it all. So far, Gattuso has gotten us out of the group stage in EL, while he has also secured the position in top 4 in spite of many unfortunate injuries resulting in problems both in defence, but especially in attack, and despite having a captain involved can play well but usually doesn't when it matters. I just don't get it, he may not be Einstein, but so far we haven't done that badly, definitely not badly enough to despise him so much. His style is irrelevant, I didn't like Sarri's style but I would never have thought of wanting him out just because of that. My taste is not that important, and it has no bearing on facts.
The fact that you consider getting out of group stages an achievement is telling. To me comfortably finishing top 4 is what is expected. Scudetto is the dream, the rest is all nonsense. If Gattuso can do that I will back him and not care about style but he is far from it.
every time I get excited this team ********s up. We will probably lose to Verona and be back at square one
I'm logical and I am also looking at things from a wider perspective. There are two major factors that you are willing to ignore because you are biased: 1. Even Sarri had trouble with groups and getting out of them, in fact, he was terrible in this respect. 2. The competition has changed. Back then when Sarri was with us it was like the 1st empires of the world and the barbarians. Us(Juve and Napoli) and Them(all the other teams). I am exaggerating a bit, maybe, but I just don't remember such competition in those times, but now we have a lot of strong teams competing.
