I figured it. I finally did. Marotta is actually much more intelligent than we make him out to be. Everybody knows how we struggle against provicinal teams and how much points we've lost in those games. They come out at us playing the game of their lives, close every inch of space and give their heart out. If only we could get points in those matches, and keep our record going with the bigger teams, the scudetto would be ours. That's when the ingenious plan kicks in. How do you ensure that shitty teams don't play their guts out against us? How about constructing a mid-table looking team that nobody takes seriously? I'm telling you. Genius. Utter genius.
