Not enough, yet we just didn't want it. Only person out there that came out fully focused and wanted it more than anyone was Chiesa. He did everything he could, hats off to him. End if an era, well at least it's official, even though it was long coming. So much agony, yet we should be used to this. Hats off to Porto, I knew they were a good team, and they showed it, the opposite is also true, sadly this Juve could have even lost to benevento. It's a nail in the coffin, yet a reminiscent one, season in season out these CL losses have made me grey and I'm sure a lot of you too.
Disjointed, lethargic, lazy, brainless and heartless. Yet this very team did it again, broke the hearts and pipe dreams that we held onto since 96. Of course it wasn't gonna be, it wasn't built, from recruitment, to management, everything was wrong. Yet a believer a dreamer, keeps dreaming. Another season, another misery, how much more can one take. I don't even know if I can think of a positive or an excuse. Something to hold onto to console. Like a lover who keeps getting betrayed but won't let go. A coach is worth a thousand players and if theres one thing I learned is Agnelli fucked up big time. From hero he's slowly becoming a zero, I still love the guy for all he's done but responsibility needs to be taken. Hands up it's as simple as that.
Last season we blamed it on the coach, season before somewhat similar. It's time we go one step higher. The Aura at this club is ugly, the winning desire has long gone, winning scudettos had killed our hunger. We keep using excuses of how CL is not an objective as an alibi. I don't ask for that, I just want you to give it all. I wanted each player, ball boy, coach, medical staff, bus driver to toilet cleaner to give it all. Grow a desire, today we didn't have that and sadly it's not even today. Ronaldo shook his head at half time, he knew it, this isn't the club for him. No excuses for him, we ain't the club for him either, some players fit others don't. We both failed miserably. Time to move on, low all expectations, start from beginning, grow a fondness just to play football and competitiveness, the rest will come. Until the rest of us.
