But Bremer was here for the last 3 seasons and juve went for one of the worst periods of all time last season with not winning a game for like 2 months.
Bremer was also here when juve got macabi’d
Bremer was also in team. When juve got trashed in Europa league
Bremer not score goals. Goals win games
ugh sunshine, where to begin
buffon, barzagli, bonucci and chiellini participated in 3 finals (2 cl, 1 euro) and conceded 11 goals iirc. does it make them duds? wouldn't you take them back at their primes?
in most cases defenses win leagues, that's been proven in many leagues. we scored almost as many goals as napoli (2 rounds ago we had the same iirc, now they have 2 more goals), yet they have a 16 point lead over us.
with bremer, we conceded ZERO goals in the league in 6 games. without bremer, we conceded 19 in 16 games. best defenses usually finish a season below 30. with bremer, kalulu could play either lb or cb, there was no pressure on gatti or savona to perform twice a week. it was a well working defense. now it's a mess. you know, when you're around high performing professionals, you perform better. bremer was our best player at the beginning of the season, no contest.
now, it's not that everything should be blamed on his absence. this team/club/squad has many flaws, starting from the top. we discuss it all day. but downplaying the absence of the best AND one of the most experienced players who was the defender of the year for toro a few seasons ago? why?
And since football is a team sport, saying one player getting injured ruined the season cannot be a valid excuse.
check the season when del piero got injured, please do. and check the rest of the squad too, which had zidane, conte, davids, inzaghi, young henry, ferrara, peruzzi, etc, and lippi on the bench. a team full of quality and experience, both on and off the pitch. the stronger ever juventus organization too. no financial issues either.
now tell me that one player's injury cannot ruin a season
