It's funny how peoples mind work. When you're on a dry spell you can't wait for matches, you dream about success and winning, lifting the trophy. You get pissed when you don't win, etc.

Nowadays I don't even get shocked/surprised when we win, whether we're talking about Serie A or Coppa. It's just kind of expected. I also get less excited when we do so, compared to previous years, or years when we made a Serie A comeback. Success sometimes kills a portion of passion. That's why our players deserve a ton of credit for doing this job over the past years. It's incredible how they keep being motivated, despite the millions on their paycheck.

I wonder if its the same when you get super rich.

    Great post, man. Exactly how I feel. Juve has made spoiled brats out of us. :D

    For a player to play at a club like Juventus, Bayern or Real he needs to have extreme hunger for success. You have to be among the most talented players on Earth to be considered for such teams, but more importantly, if you lack the desire to make the effort, you could still earn many millions on pure talent alone at a slightly lesser club.

    I expect a player of Juventus to be hungry for success all the time.

    We've seen way too many times how players look dead on the field, despite the name of the club. It has happened to us and IMO everything changed once Conte started coaching.

    We'll never find out :(

    I agree. It's also crucial to insert fresh blood into a club every season.

    That's probably why we have signed Higuain tbh.

    It's better to be spoiled
    Than living in depression as Milan and Inter

    These people every weekend cry and nervous
    Absolutely.

    That's why players like Monggolan and Hamsik say things like "winning one scudetto at Roma/Napoli is worth ten at Juve", because they tend to win one for every ten we win - which is convenient - so of course they know they have to celebrate it harder, like it is some kind of miraculous achievement.

    They know nothing of the pressure of having to win every season, they made their choices and won't play for an elite club, so it's easy to sit there and make those comments, then once every ten years when everything falls into place they can create a mystique, almost mythology around this success.

    I'm so glad I have chosen Juve rather than AC Milan back in 1994. :touched:

    I can if they are driven through things other than fear of change. Reading De Rossi's comments recently made me think that maybe Hamsik is one who falls into that category where he doesn't want to come out of his comfort zone. Fans treat them as heroes because they ultimately stay put, but as we found out ourselves in the past through things like Calciopoli or stupid money, there are many factors that determine this kind of longevity and loyalty.

    a couple of years ago an inda fan said that vidal was our one and only good player, handanovic and even sirigu are way better than buffon, and he wouldn't swap guarin to marchisio :baus:

    would you mind sharing those comments? i thought hamsik was the kind of loyal guy who got my respect despite my aversion to napoli.

    Hamsik has never been hateful in a way that naingollan has been. Don't mind him as a person at all
