I wonder why us fans are always able to see the obvious yet the coaches always prefer those so called "defensive masterminds" who offers nothing like Pepe.
Didn't you said that 4-4-2 is in our DNA?
i did and unfortunately it is, but it doesnt mean that i like it though.
I also crave for a bit of spark and creativity, smth we havent seen since zz and lippi.
Beside this exception, we were always the hard core defensive minded italian team.
Italians were particularly talented in that and we always plenty of them, our league demanded that and thats what used to be our strength, the field we could really master!
Capello was the last proper coach we had, after zz he turned our 4-4-2 back on and since him, the more a coach tries anything difficult the more he fails.
I believe this is where our management is trying to reboot atm.
But beeing the amateurs they are, they have misjudged a couple of things:
-the basis of the 4-4-2 effectiveness was our world class defence, the current crop of italian defenders, happen to be very very limited there.
Without this foundation of the ultra secured defence, the rest of the team will crumble!
-we actually had an alternative in the gifted diego and giovinco, they didnt failed us, the ones we hired as coaches were not lippies!
More defenders means lesser creativity, means lesser chances to score, means a need for a more prolific finisher, not yet another ss dribbler...
Hopefully they will learn this lesson, the old pragmatic juve used to dictate for years and do smth about it next year, cause this year is yet another wasted season...
