If marchisio was a leader, like he was supposed to be, aqua wouldnt have gotten into the team, and juventus would have been third this year.
yet we lacked a leader, and he never stepped up.
yeah, i blame him for that
then again, i blame the entire squad for lacking balls
Yes we do lack a leader and yes Marchisio is not the player we need to take the team from her hand drive her forwards like Neddy used to do.
But Marchisio is not solely at fault for that, this is a collective fault, our realistic expectations reflected better on Marchisio, but it was not meant to be.
I think for that we need a prestigious, very exp and older player. And thats probably why we got Pirlo!!
However MArchisio is still a very useful and versatile tool player, that can help us, he is young enough to grow some more balls and he has the potential to adapt into a new role,
unlike many other players we have and are able to acquire.
If Melo and Pirlo do better, then so be it, Juve wins!, we would still have a reliable solution on the bench, growing better and with a loyalty and patience, no mercenary can equal.
I dont like the hyping of the average Italian players, but i do believe that in the previous years Marchisio has proven that he is more than that!
