do you remember last year..?? we had the same problems that you mentioned.. plus the problems that I've mentioned.. but, with two different coaches..!!! save the new ones emerson, zlatan, blasi.. etc.
don't you think it's the players' mentality that have something wrong..?? not the coaches...??!!!
the players themselves need to develop and improve... see how gattuso improved.. when he first came to serie everybody was laughing at him.. but, see him now.. one of the best DM in the world..
let's see who we got..
-DP: the same old one.. his problem is a psycological one.. couldn't get over it yet.. and he's the captain..!!! (overall, didn't improve..)
-trez: as most people said.. he cannot create his own chances, but he's dangerous in the box.. (overall, didn't improve..)
-zlatan: first year, no comment.. except that he's a selfish show-off bastard..
-Nedved.. seems that's his age finally cought up with him (overall, didn't improve..)
-camoranesi.. he improved a little in not argueing with the refs.. but still.. one good game.. ten bad games afterwards.. (overall, didn't improve..)
-emerson: first season.. but a beast in the midfeild..
-blasi: same, at a lower level sometimes..
-zebina: his start was good.. but, it seems that we end up with the old zebina of roma..
-zambrotta: I don't know what's wrong with this man.. he is more inconsistant than last years.. (but, overall, didn't improve..)
-thuram: great as a CB.. but he's getting old.. (still, didn't improve..)
-cannavaro: the same old tough one..
-buffon: had some slips.. but still tough enough to guard our back...
my point is:
WE NEED A REVOLUTION...!! in terms of how we play...
I agree 100% that we need a revolution, imo the revolution was needed before this summer.
But its impossible to change the whole roster in a year, so we did changed the half and we did changed the coach too!
Why? Why the managers have seen the need to change not only the players but the coach too?
Because last year we had a general crisis, the problem last year and right now as u said didnt concerned only one player, but a great percentage of the team,
that definately means its not a personal problem,
its impossible for all the players to naturally loose their form exactly at the same time,
its smth bigger,
smth that effects the hole team.
=The head of the team.
I remember last year juve was told campioni d'Italia they werent hungry for another title,
the team(defence) couldnt survive the loss of davids,
the pressure was too high, we werent able to win a great team because of the material and mentality maby,
but this year there have been some inhangementand-investiment, not in the large scale we wanted(and needed) but good enough for juve standarts,
the effect considering the groth of the team isnt what i expected.
The biggest change sould be the coach, a non italian, more agressive coach like deshamp would be great, to give us the power to accelerate, but we have performed only a "facelift"
Has palermo and sampdoria better material than juve?
do they have better conditions, motivation, salary, changes for great things and titles like juve has?
What they have?
tactical superiority, a litle more agressive mentality, ambition and balance.
This is what we need too, who else
other than the coach may offer this now?
