If you can't beat Verona at home, you don't deserve CL. Napoli played with no urgency the entire first half, and assumed it was done after they scored.Juve offered them huge money i guess. (Which is 100% legal, to be clear)

Just like his spell at AC Milan, he improved the club but couldn't take them to where they should have been in the end. This is not a bad time to leave, too, given that the players were struggling to perform for him this season.Dear Rino, I am happy to have spent almost two seasons with you. Thanking you for your work, I wish you success wherever you go. A hug to your wife and children too. Aurelio De Laurentiis
Yes, despite the fall in quality, at least this seems to have died out.When i was younger in Seria A was rule in last rounds; who needs points, gets them. I can't believe what i am watching now.
I did not quote correctly.Congrats! You bucked the trend, at long last, must be a great feeling.
It was dreadful dreadful stuff. Couldn't string three passes together, couldn't control the ball, couldn't go a minute without a break of play. Two strikers upfront wrestling up top, a scattered midfield, and defenders who had no idea what football is or how to play it. I could have played better than Mario Rui after he came on. I think League One teams would have won against them the way they were playing last night.I forced myself to watch the last 20 minutes of Napoli. They desperately needed a goal but had no idea or plan to even get close to a good chance. Passing it around in midfield and then hoofing the ball forward. What an uninspiring bottling crap. Wow
The more I think of it, the more sense it make:Why would he refuse to play? He always wants to play.
You mean it makes sense if you have no respect for the club, the fan base, or the history? Are you mistakenly painting him as a mercenary?The more I think of it, the more sense it make:
1. He has already secured Serie A top scorer award this season, and had already reached 100 goals milestone for Juventus. Individually there’s nothing more he could have achieved from playing this final game.
2. He already won trophies from domestic cup and super cup this season, playing this final league game won’t add anything to his trophy cabinet.
3. He is on the move this summer, so whether or not Juventus getting top 4 spot and plays in next season CL doesn’t concern him at all.
4. There’s Euro coming up in a month time, this could be his last chance of playing/winning another Euro, so staying fit in best condition would be his top priority now. Having played a cup final just few days ago, he needs more time to recover and ensure himself to stay free from any risk of injury.
I suspect he has already made agreement with Juventus, unless they are not winning in 2nd half and need all 3 points, he wouldn’t come on from bench.
It depends how you see it. If you think it make sense to overplay a 36 year old and risk him to potential injuries when he is not fully fitted (like we did with Rashford last season), then so be it. Point being, it doesn’t worth for him to risk injury for this game. He already scored 100+ goals for them so I don’t see lack of respect for the club or fans. He just need a little rest.You mean it makes sense if you have no respect for the club, the fan base, or the history? Are you mistakenly painting him as a mercenary?
What you said was he had nothing to gain from playing that game. That’s only true if you see him as an individual completely separate and above the club’s objectives. Otherwise to consider yesterday’s game relatively worthless because he can’t add to his trophy cabinet or goals record is absurdIt depends how you see it.

Well I have listed 4 reasons and you could only focus on one. I am sure if this is Euro final, he would have played even if he is it fully fit or has picked up a knock or something.What you said was he had nothing to gain from playing that game.

Sorry I didn’t see this until today. Each game has a hyperlink for the score, if you click that and wait a few seconds, there’s a play button that loads the game.I just downloaded it but I don't see an option to stream. I'd appreciate it if you could point out where I'm supposed to click. Thank you for the help.
Thank you, captain negative! This is would be handy when I'm not home and would like to stream a match.Sorry I didn’t see this until today. Each game has a hyperlink for the score, if you click that and wait a few seconds, there’s a play button that loads the game.
All four reasons come from the same principle that it's somehow normal for a player to consider himself above the team.Well I have listed 4 reasons and you could only focus on one.

They're not taking any stand against Raiola, they're more than happy to work with him. This is a simple business decisionSaw this link regarding Milan taking a stand against Mino regarding Donnarumma.
Mourinho will be gutted I imagine. Sure he'd have preferred to go back to Inter than RomaStrong rumour that Conte will leave Inter as he is unhappy with proposed budget cuts. Quite the managerial go around going on in Serie A. There is a good chance that out of the top 10 clubs, only Milan and Atalanta will continue with their managers.
Conte makes a lot of sense for Real.Strong rumour that Conte will leave Inter as he is unhappy with proposed budget cuts. Quite the managerial go around going on in Serie A. There is a good chance that out of the top 10 clubs, only Milan and Atalanta will continue with their managers.

Allegri is a winner. He doesn’t always play a boring style and the way he plays depends on what players he has plus he uses different kind of formations. Two times UCL runner up all we wait is the third final which could be next year.Would have been a lot more interesting with Allegri at RM, Zidane at Juventus.
Allegri back at Juve is going to be so boring for the league.
I meant boring in the sense that its so predictable.Allegri is a winner. He doesn’t always play a boring style and the way he plays depends on what players he has plus he uses different kind of formations. Two times UCL runner up all we wait is the third final which could be next year.
Juventus after 2 disaster years both domestically and on a europhean level went for a fail proof manager.I meant boring in the sense that its so predictable.
Allegri at a different club would have been more interesting is all.
That's a nice promotion. I can remember Venezia (and Vicenza who reached semi finals of CWC in 1998 but lost to Chelsea) as regulars in late 90s in thee Gazzetta football italia good old days. Can randomly recall Flippo Maniero upfront scoring a million goals for them, seems all the bottom half teams had that sort of striker (Maurizo Ganz and Dario Hubner were others).Venezia just got promoted to Serie A. I'm really looking forward to their kits and their quaint, little stadium.

Serie B's season has finished recently, and Monza were knocked out of the playoff race by Cittadella, who were defeated by Venezia in the final.Who else is likely to come up, Monza would be interesting addition given who owns them now and last time I looked they were in top 6 so have a chance.
Ah right, thought they might have gone up in top 2 as Serie B play offs usually run into June. Salernitana another who haven't been in Serie A since the 90s.Serie B's season has finished recently, and Monza were knocked out of the playoff race by Cittadella, who were defeated by Venezia in the final.
If Bebe signs for them, sailors will need to duck for cover.Venezia just got promoted to Serie A. I'm really looking forward to their kits and their quaint, little stadium.
