Do you think its a coincidence that we are always the victims of refs mistakes when we play against Napoli?
Remember what the refs did to us, even in serie B, remember yesterday, Aronica's red card non shown, for protecting the game balance, but no hesitation on Quaq's.
Aronica's penalty not given, but no hesitation on Storari's.
DP's 1on1 called as offside, but Hamsik's was game on.
Just a coincidence, huh? When we prepare for such an important game, we should calculate, that such "coincidences" are bound to happen to their favor, as they always do. We know that they play dirty, that the refs allow them to and that they hate us.
We should not give the pleasure, we should not give them silverware that can help them become stronger and keep their 3 tenors.
And yet, Conte has chosen to gift them the cup, give them the pleasure.
Has chosen to end DP's career in misery, has chosen to throw away the silver star, after all we have been through.
The players we saw yesterday was not the coppa Italia team.
Borriello was not part of that.
And even so, the ancient excuse of the coaches, to encourage the squad players, is not respected after the season is over and esp not in finals.
DP could be the only exception, as its his last game ever with us. Everybody would understand that without protest.
There are no excuses, bar the one we make to our selves. It was a major blow and shows that there is a maximum we can do under Conte...
We surely need more quality depth in the defense and left flank, but this has been 7 years issue, we fail to treat...
We also need a Cavani class finisher, but Marotta cannot reach that class, dont fool your selves, we cant go much further than that...
We could beat the cup though, even with the refs actively trying to take it from us, even with Bonucci, Caceres and EstiG not stopping anything coming from our left flank. And Storari being better than Buffon only at penalties.
We could win this if we had the proper tools that could allow us to threaten them upfront.
The proper tools to accompany DP, Vucinic was mandatory for this match, so as dropping Borriello, i dont know why Conte loves Borriello so much, why has he risked so much to impose him, why he continues doing so, despite so many failures, but i know that playing with such a handicap, on your own will, you invite your darl destiny.
We were lucky once or twice, to win despite the handicap we imposed to our selves, but we cant be that lucky forever and esp not when its so much at stake... We almost lost the championship after Borriello's acquisition and Conte has chosen to lose the cup too.
This makes me dread for the future, Conte has found his Molinaro and he has already sacrificed a title and a half for him!
