Well Diego has all expectations on his shoulders, that is for sure. He is the one in the line of fire right now, as we all expected him to be the man to get us out of this mess we are in since calciopoli. We can for sure admit, that it ain't easy for anyone to carry all this weight at all and Diego has to carry it more than anyone.
Hardly anybody would argue the fact that Messi is probably the "best" player on this planet right now. But when we look at him closely, we can observe that he too needs a team. Playing for Barcelona, he has his team with Xavi and all the others, while we have seen him "underperform" for Argentina under Juve-like circumstances.
We should consider this: Diego has immense potential, that is a given fact. I have been observing him in the Bundesliga for a long time and I think he is ready to be our leader. However, no player in the history of the game has ever managed to win alone. Not even Del Piero in his golden years, who is probably the best offensive player we ever had.
What's more, we remember Nedved having a hard time too in 2000. I remember arguing for him back then at Juventuz when many people wanted to send him back to Lazio. But one thing is for sure. We can not expect Diego to find a similar path as Nedved in 2000 AT THIS GIVEN MOMENT. We have to keep in mind that Nedved had a superb team around him and a great coach aswell. Our defense was rocksolid and one lucky punch would often be enough to win 1-0 as we would never concede 3 goals against teams such as Bari.
So what is to be done? Our beloved club is going through a very difficult period at this moment, but not only because of our current lack of form. We have lost credibility and financially, we are not as strong as we used to be. Diego, for me, has pointed out that he can be our "saviour" in two ways. First off, he has proved that, as a player, he is inferior to nobody. Secondly, he did admit his love for this shirt, which is worth more than a lot of you would think in these years. Quality players who actually want to play for us after all this are very hard to find nowadays.
What we have to realise is that our team needs a lot more quality especially in other areas of the pitch. I have, since I am addicted to this club, NEVER seen us play so badly in the backline as on Tuesday against Bayern. If Schweinsteiger knew how to shoot, it would have been 0-1 after 5 minutes you can tell. Why do we only go for the ball at a distance of 14 meters from our goal? Why do we keep conceding from kick and rush like balls? We is there no security in the backline?
All this was unthinkable some years ago. Diego for sure is not to blame. You could really see his anger yesterday, he was working his ass off, that nobody can deny. And how can we expect him to score goals, when his first touch often takes place in our half of the pitch because our other players are not decent enough to advance a little bit under pressure?
Forza Juve, stay close to the colours!
