Our performance tonight sums up our season.
I can't remember us playing a real dominating match this season.
One has got to feel sorry for Buffon, who needs an operation but still continued to play against Inter and Bayern.
I can only imagine Nedved sitting in front of his television, crying with what has become Juventus after he left. Some say time heals all wounds, but I can certainly say that I will never forget Nedved at his prime and nothing will ever replace that wound.
I don't know what is happening to our players, but I said it during the game:
Our players always look so happy and are joking around when I look at the training pictures. They should take every training as a match, no matter what.
It reminds me of Ancelotti saying that he could not ask his Chelsea team to train at 80%, since they are all such winners. It is a big differance comparing to Milan (Ancelotti's words).
This is also the reason why Serie A has lost most of its prestige. While the rest of the European clubs try to play modern, fast football, Italy is still playing the ''organized, defensive'' play.
Now about this Juve team:
Certainly some mistakes have been made during the summer. Why did we bring back Cannavaro? And why the heck did we buy Grosso? They are in the last days of their carreer, did we expect to win anything with those 2 at the back?
I don't think so. We should give our youth products much more chances. They are with Juve for such a long time and carry it in their heart. Cannavaro is a joke, trying to prove himself because he left during Calciopoli. Well, there must be some kind of conspiracy behind it, because he is ruining all his credibility.
I don't know what to say about Diego. Yes, the German league was different but the fact is he does not deliver. This is thanks to the cluelessness of the whole team and also thanks to his form. Felipe Melo is a joke, I question myself what his motivation was to join Juve, because I can't see any motivation in his play.
The only time he does is when we score, but I don't care about him acting a monkey.
Obviously, something is wrong with our tactics. Ferrara is far to inexperienced to handle Juventus. On the official website, he said that this game would be like a Final. Well, I certainly hope that he won't reach any finals this year, because it will be a disaster. I don't blame his substitutions because whoever plays, there is no rhytm in the team and they look completely clueless. Del Piero may not have played very well, but when he had the ball he was very calm and did not try anything stupid or too fancy. Something our less-skilled players try to do too often.
If this is the best Ferrara can get out of these players at his disposal, he should really resign, or our board should be smart enough to see that there is no future for him at Juventus now. Funny that the whole forum, including me, were dissapointed with Ranieri and wanted change. But now he's laughing at home, because with these players at his possession, I do think that he would have done better.
