It sounds dumb but I associate the Juventus decline with the badge redesign. Shifting from a badge with historical significance to a logo that could be for a cologne, a beer, an upscale coffee shop, a waste management company, it was probably focus grouped to death to appeal to non football fans. Such a transparently desperate attempt to be a brand. Fuck Juventus. :mustafi:
This project also cost them Marotta and Allegri.
Not my
^ this basically sums it up. They shitcanned actual club legends but were willing to welcome Ronaldo with open arms. Heās dragging them down and thereās no market for him. You love to see it.
Also:
Yikes
Should be someone lying on the floor behind that wall. Come on Juve, thatās modern football!
Thatās well in reach of the keeper.
Woj and the wall both should have done better.
Wall? Donāt you mean the wide open door that is CR7s legs?
Italian clubs get shat upon for missing the commercial boat and that is a big reason of their competitive decline. But when they try to make those commercial changes and try to catch onā¦they can also shat upon.
I still think Ronaldo isnāt the actual issue btw. I think Ramsey and Rabiot are. Both are shit players. That part of their team is just shit and doesnāt work out for them.
Thatās all on Woj, that free kick is slow, he has more than enough time to react once it beats the wall. Always been shite at judging ranged shots.
I think Leno saves that
Iād say;
full backs are an issue. Alex Sandro is mainly terrible now and Cuadrado isnāt really a RB even if he does look good going forward (which is not surprising given heās a right winger). Central midfield is a huge issue, they donāt have much quality there just a lot of really expensive CMs. Artur canāt stay fit, Bentancur never pushed on, Ramsey is shit and injured and Rabiot has been decent this season.
They donāt really have a striker anymore. CR7 is definitely on the brink of being finished despite his numbers (heās got like 4-6 penalty goals in his goal total too but heās largely not as impactful). Morata was a terrible decision to bring back too.
Kulu, Chiesa, De Ligt, Demiral all represent bright signings for the club but way too much money funnelled away in the last few years
Where was this against Porto
CR7 has a message for the haters
Can score all the hatricks he wants now.
No CL
Probably no Serie A
Itās all good.
