Mostly the psychological impact of realising Inter were better than us.
Glad Patrizi for your acknowledgment that Max was primarily responsible for the meltdown in the second half. Failure from Max motivating them to play.
If you're gonna put the blame entirely on him then you have to put it entirely down to him for going on a 16 game unbeaten run, qualify for champions league, and win the coppa.
I do give him credit for above. Issue is the season went from success to failure. Clear case of regression. Presently most everyone has no confidence Max could turn it around next season. And the people that have control over it, feel the same.
And most of them are not good enough for Juventus.
For CL knockout success, I agree. Though plenty good enough to do better in second half of season to be runner-up. The horrific display against some of the minnows in league play was embarrassing. Nail in the coffin was Salerntana match. Last place with 15 points and last 17 games 3D 14L with away record 1W 4D 12L. Juve had everything to play for and needed close to stoppage time tying goal. Yes probably unlucky to not get earlier goal, but also lucky this season against some poor teams with equalizer/winner.
Patrizi, how could they perform this poor against a vastly inferior talent wise squad?
