I already respect EL. I'm dying to see Juve doing well in a European cup after God knows how many years but all I'm saying is that I don't care about it as long as we are doing well in the league..
I'd rather have this team end up in 5th spot, not qualify for CL & win the EL. I wouldn't place a CL spot as a priority over winning actual silverware.
english teams are used to play a crapton of games, alot more then we have in italy.
they are used to this
about the injuries, fatigue is a major reason why muscles are more prone to torn when put preshure on, like a tackle. it allways has an effect
also, more games, is statistically more chance to get injured
to conclude, its a known fact after an european match there is additional fatigue because of the trip etc, and this causes a loss of points often
we simply cant have that.
They play in the EPL, FA Cup, CL/EL & League Cup, one competition more than Italy, that's a pretty poor excuse considering a team like Fulham that was dumped out of the FA & League Cup early on.
You could play two games & still get injured, you could be on the pitch for 2 mins & get injured, that is part & parcel of the game.So because injuries might occur, we shouldn't compete in the EL? So shouldn't we also just scrap playing in the Coppa Italia? Considering it's of less prestige & could result in unnecessary injuries? We need to play in europe be it CL/EL to generate income & gain much needed media focus, to expose the team as a brand.
Yes playing many games tire players but thats why a its a team sport. Emphasis on team here. Substitutes are there to relieve tired players & that's why we buy players to cover different positions.
That's such a weak excuse to use, this is a professional club, the players are professionals & they can handle playing more than one match a week. We have a team of medical experts to handle issues such as injuries.You make it seem like this is a amateur team playing in Serie C, with only 15 professional registered & 8 semi professional players.
