Would honestly be impressive if they win it
Would have sounded so funny just a few years ago
They have been the highest paid team with highest paid coach for many years: on paper they should have won the Scudetto every single time :p
Title contenders because they’re second in the table?? And only cause Milan sucks?? Lolz what a half ass statement
It’s funny how many sport journalists feel compelled to open their pieces with some standard rhetorical BS like: “Juventus hosting Inter was supposed to be a delight for the senses, but boredom reigned supreme”.
Nobody in their right mindset would have gone to the match with high expectations. A defensive manager with no strategy on attack* Vs a reaction manager who has his best matches when he can prepare a counter-strategy.
And she clearly knows all that: “Allegri, the most divisive of coaches in Italy, is the doyen of pragmatic football. Aware of his team’s lack of ability on the ball, he has created a side that collects as many small wins on the pitch as possible to secure a result. His side won’t dazzle - a third of their chances are from set-pieces. Juventus rarely take the game by the scruff of the neck or show any intensity in forging their way ahead. They simply wait, biding their time, lulling the opponent into a snooze before they find the right time to bite. Goal.”
*Allegri often said “the manager has to work on the defense, while the attack is something players with their talent must take care of”.
Is it just me or is consistently the dullest game of the year.
I’ve been a few times and it was only the curva keeping me awake.
