Three wasted seasons (possibly 4) chasing chimeras. Agnelli’s large mistake. For the technically bankrupt Tare Juve, however there’s a distinction with the opposite golf equipment. Bewilderment, Alexander the Nice and the monarchy in black and white…

from Andrea Bosco

Studying Mario Sconcerti’s editorials is all the time an enchanting train. “Juventus sufferer of historical past,” he wrote within the Corriere della Sera. “After 9 league titles in a row it was inevitable that Juve may not be themselves: the nice empires from Ciro to Alessandro lastly crumbled.”

Specimen With a footnote, for information (given my research) of Greek historical past. Alexander continued to win and broaden till he entered the battle alongside his males. Till he nearly personally directed the propaganda (by way of Callistene, “particular envoy” of these occasions): till he promoted the combination between peoples of very completely different cultures and religions. When he stopped doing this, his large empire started to falter. At his loss of life, sinking. It could be foolhardy to affiliate Andrea Agnelli with Alexander the Nice (though I concern he could have had an thought of ​​omnipotence on a number of events), however it’s indeniable that, like Alexander’s empire, Juventus additionally started to malfunction when Andrea Agnelli has began to “delegate”. Juventus is a monarchy. Kings do not ‘delegate’ – they rule. Mario Sconcerti is true: Juve is a sufferer of its historical past. However (in a predictable scenario), Juventus tried to curb this story with “patches”. Avoiding noticing that solely with an actual revolution may it’s regenerated. The sin was that of getting misplaced three seasons (and with this one it would absolutely be 4) chasing chimeras: tasks arrange and rapidly repudiated. Amongst different issues, spending some huge cash in useless: it has burdened his funds. Juve can even be “technically bankrupt”, in keeping with Tare. However he has a property that may repay (as he has carried out previously) any type of debt. The distinction between Juve and the others is that this. A property that has been “taking care of” its creature for 100 years: a unicum. However right now Juve is bare. He gained the derby in opposition to a Torino devoid of the proverbial super. She took a broth, after a foul flu – she isn’t essentially cured. He has already had “relapses” within the latest previous. Agnelli had the braveness to utter the phrase “disgrace”. And possibly that phrase was a wholesome tab. However he did not speak about his errors. Nor of the (much more quite a few) of his coach. The hope is that Juventus can now reap the benefits of the 2 video games, not inconceivable on paper, in opposition to Empoli and Lecce (earlier than the sport – most likely the “guillotine” – in Lisbon) to bleed their anemic rating.

In Champion’s at 95% Juve is low. However there are suicides in soccer. And this reporter has seen fairly a number of. The verb that goes across the Continassa is, nevertheless, “united”. However it’s not so. There are rumors that Bonucci (not new to confrontations with Allegri – the well-known punitive “stool” at Champion’s is unforgettable) requested for the sale, already in January. There are rumors that some gamers would disagree with the coach. That he could have all the explanations on the planet (that “I discovered particles” he mentioned to his most trusted associates within the weeks following his return, right now it may tackle a extra exact that means). However who cannot afford to have a dressing room that does not respect them: they need to discover a method to get it again. My sense (and Mario Sconcerti’s phrases verify this to a big extent) is that Juventus, recognized to old school followers and journalists, not exists. It is going to be essential to restart what has not been carried out in three and a half seasons. He must persuade himself that he can not depart once more with Rabiot (who will signal for one more membership in January), however with Miretti. Excluding what harms society. If on the finish of the season you verify it in pink, ingesting its presence, you’ll paralyze it in progress. If you happen to determine to promote him, you may promote him (nonetheless holding him in mothballs, he likes Beans, like Cats) at a depreciated worth. I used to be born in Venice, land of retailers: the apply of managing “merchandise,” that implies to me.
