Former Italian defender, Massimo Brambati claims Juventus’ season was set up to be a disaster from the beginning.
The Bianconeri are enduring one of their worst campaigns in recent times and many fans expected more.
The club sacked Andrea Pirlo after he won two trophies, so everyone naturally expected things to get better under the management of Max Allegri.
But this season has simply been worse and the Bianconeri will hope they don’t end it trophyless.
One of the key decisions the club made at the start was selling Cristiano Ronaldo to Manchester United.
Brambati believes not replacing him in time meant Juve automatically had to struggle.
He said via Tuttojuve: “The Italian Cup in Juve’s season does not move anything. The championship or the semi-final of the Champions League, even the quarterfinals. I also give a vote to the club, which replaced Ronaldo in an inadequate manner. You were too unprepared. It is an insufficiency that must be shared with the club. Vlahovic reinforcement came too late, and it has also been misused “.
Juve FC Says
Ronaldo was an important member of this team and he scored most of the goals that won trophies for us.
It was not a bad decision to allow him to leave and save money from paying him astronomical wages, but we needed to replace the Portuguese attacker with an equally reliable goal-scorer.
Is a factor and he did it out of pure spite, but it doesn’t matter now. We are lumbered with ancient allegri and any attackers we get won’t be coached positively, and their attack patterns will be to defend. Humiliation in the champions league continues because of overall levels and investment through tv and winnings money the English clubs have with a positive product…and the figc continue to let the stadiums rot in their obsession to destroy Juventus as everyone’s scapegoat, instead of tackling it. The superleague idea was a disaster which needs to be dropped at all costs and you could have a billion dollars but it doesn’t matter if you don’t spend it widely. Look at maguire at united. agnelli has no clue. Imagine bringing in a negative massive step backwards like allegri to bring in youngsters to be taught negative mindsets? future generation of disaster and they ‘have no money’ to buy World class players to cover his tracks this time. Lippi is the DNA, conte continued it and allegri piggybacked off their success with safety. Not a massive fan of pirlos league results but at least he tried to be positive and got trophies, results would have come. Either way Fino Alla Fine, to quote Elkann ‘People come and go .. Juventus remains’.
