Serie A in the mid 90s and up until 2003/2004 was ultra competitive. A title win was anything but guaranteed. The lack of competition in the league is killing us in Europe; sometimes, we look lost and confused out there. I'm sure the players want to switch it on or get into another gear, but sometimes they just can't, even if they want to. Serie A has allowed us to become somewhat complacent and incapable of finding another gear when we need to. That has been the case since that CL final defeat against Real I feel; we never truly recovered after that loss.
