Jabroni isn’t really an Italian word
How insightful. Here you go:

Example: Most Italian players these days are absolute Jabronis.

i wouldnt even mind him as backup RIGHT back, on 2M wages. but 4M wages to start on the left is just :sergio:
Disgusting turd nugget with a punchable face. I'd love to piss all over his face and proceed to defecate in his mouth, then have three 6 foot trannies sodomize him. Traumatized by the experience, he immediately announces his retirement and retreats to the mountains in Nepal, never to set foot on a football pitch ever again.

No one gives a damn about PSG attractive football without an enormous amount of money sheiks burn to buy names.
People watch EPL not because it's entertaining, but because EPL can create and sell a quality picture. EPL is a business, it's run as a business. Seria A is still operating as a pocket league for a bunch of crazy old hacks. You can make each team play Napoli (or whatever your flavor of the month is) like football, it's not going to change anything.
People watch EPL 'cause they show in on so many channels. Even I watch EPL on Viaplay if there's nothing else going on (they show Serie A, La Liga and EPL, maybe Bundesliga too)...here most of the EPL matches have Finnish commentary even though we don't have any players there anymore. They even show English 1. division (what ever it's called) knockout matches on Viaplay and I have watched since they have been the only football matches at the time I was able to watch without streaming (streaming is a fucking pain in the ass).

So maybe it's about marketing. I sure as hell don't watch EPL 'cause it's entertaining. I see just a bunch of retards running after the ball who don't know shit about football.

Juve are close to acquiring an Arsenal young starlet | Calciomercato.com

According to what Gazzetta dello Sport reported, Juve have secured the services of Arsenal young starlet Yunus Musah (born in 2002). The youngster currently plays for the U-16 English national team as he will likely join the Juve youth squad from next season on (or their B team). The young Arsenal midfielder had been on the bianconeri's radar for some time now as this is a nice get for the Juve youth system....

EPL's big advantage is that it's in the english language.

Football style is probably the last factor in relation to language, stadiums, sponsorships, and domestic GDP, etc.

Napoli and Roma played great footie for years. Serie A outscored EPL recently. No one gives a shit because the matches are played in WW2 era stadiums and filmed on VHS tapes. I live in a first world country and get Serie A on my cable. But the quality is so bad that I still stream it from my laptop.

But meanwhile, I can change to any other channel and see Harry Kane take a dump in 4K HD.
Its a package for sure I don't disagree with you. Being in English is an advantage for sure and being a 1st world country that invests in infrastructure is as well. I am not pinning the decline of Serie A on Juve at all.

If anything we are Italy's only hope. We are the only club in Italy that has the history and clout to attract people to Serie A again. Until the Milanese clubs restore themselves as big teams in Europe, if anyone will ever switch on Serie A on their TVs it will be for us. Now we can bore them to death with a 0-0 draw when they do turn it on or we can entertain them and provide incentive to watch future matches.

Think of it this way (as an extreme hypothetical), all things equal, if Juve played like City while dominating the way we do in terms of results, do you imagine Juve would be more interesting to audiences or less or just the same?

Thats the point I am making. People tune in to Ligue 1 just to see PSG because they play attractive football and have star players. Thats a plastic club with no history and no fanbase if you go back a few years.

How did they suddenly become more watchable than us? they took the shortcut of buying flair top players and having them play offensively. If their games were a snoozefest like ours then all those investments will be down the drain.

See how much City and Pool are making out of their style of football this season compared to previous years. Fucking City man.

I dunno why people are resisting a very obvious line of reasoning. Beautiful football is more likely to convert fans and gain organic shares/followers than ugly football and therefore more valuable brand. Why wouldnt you want our football to be more entertaining?
