We have so many players here now who don’t fit “Fino Alla Fine” in the slightest. And others who lost it over the past couple years. We completely lost our identity and grinta with Paratici as sporting director and Sarri and Pirlo as coaches.
Very much true.
Let's look at our players, who does have the juventus spirit (fino alla fine and some fucking grinta)
GK:
Woj - absolutely not, he fucking smiles after conceding
Defender:
Chiellini, Bonucci, De Ligt, Danilo - yes the do
Sandro, Rugani, De Sciglio - no
Pellegrini - no idea
Mids:
Locatelli, Cuadrado - yes
Rabiot, McKennie, Arthur, Ramsey, Bentancur - no, except Rabiot who does show it not more than twice a year. McKennie had it for about three games, then lost it.
Offense:
Chiesa - yes
Dybala, Berna, Kulu, Morata - no. Dybala at least has talent, while the others don't
Kaio - no idea
Which starting players did we lose since our decline?
Lichtsteiner - no comment needed, warrior
Vidal - warrior
Tevez - warrior
Pirlo - no grinta, but tons of talent
Pogba - medium grinta, tons of talent
Marchisio - warrior
Kedira - trash vidal replacement
Matuidi - warrior, not much talent but a warrior
Pjanic - nah, but talent.
Mandzukic - what the fuck do you think?
Buffon - Goat GK and impersonation of the juve spirit, he is what we need
Ronaldo - goat warrior

What was purpose of pre season?
Its there to train with players and formations, that we won't play.
That's why we waited until season start to finish the Locatelli deal and sell Ronaldo. Big brain move.
Next time we could also skip pre-season and let them rest some more. If we don't train with our projected main squad, it results in what we are seeing right now.
