He could be onto something. I mean, is not the first time we fail to reach our maximum objective,
and theres nothing wrong with that, this core has steamrolled italy for 6 years and have fought a fair fight in europe since we returned, almost always going out to superior quality (with the exception of frozen kebab).... so is not like we have failed.
But wel...what can we say? we cant pretend that we have won the CL
For Bonucci specifically, i feel he wants a new challenge.To try himself in a new team while he is still considered one of the best defenders out there.
Licht is finished, Chiellini will only get worse the next years and of course Barzagli is not the player he used to be.
Add to them Marchisio, who we don't know if he will be ever starting material for us again, and our whole right flank with a good but limited player(cuads) and a short term solution in Alves.
Khedira of course was probably our worst player in the fianal.
Last, and i know this is something most people here won't like, Buffon doesn't make me feel secure and relaxed anymore.Many times he seems shaky and slow.In fact i belive, our defence makes him look better thsn he is.
In the end this feels like the year we lost to Milan in manchcester.We thought we would be back with 2-3 signings, but most of our players were old and washed up, so we were really awful the next season
