A team can't win all the time, and that's something we Juve fans know. It's just a bit of a pity to make up a whole number (Serie A 10 consecutive championships). What I never expected was that losing the Serie A title was just the beginning of Waterloo, and even if Allegri returned to the rescue, it seemed difficult to quickly turn the situation around, at most slowing down the rate of decline...
The Coppa Italia and the Italian Super Cup are more like a return to the light
Juventus, led by Pirlo, had a feeling of instability before the game even started. It also has something to do with the intuitive impression that he is indeed a rookie coach, which may be unfair to Pirlo.
But just when the Juventus league was hopeless, and even when it was fighting for the fourth, the Italian Cup after two years of absence returned to the hands of the Bianconeri, and finally fulfilled Ronaldo's wish for a Grand Slam trip to Italy (Serie A, Italian Cup, Italian Super Cup). However, this cup, which is regarded by fans as a chicken rib, even if combined with the Italian Super Cup won before, obviously cannot be a placebo for losing the Serie A title.
Yeah, how many decades of life? If you think about it, even if you win the Serie A title this season, how old are you if you have another nine-in-a-row championship? More realistically, according to the current state of Mind juventus, it seems to be isolated from this season's Serie A champions, and even the Italian Cup and the Italian Super Cup seem to have become a luxury.
People will return to the light before they end their lives, and why are Pirlo's two champions not?
It is also difficult to watch uncle 囧 cooked, because there is no rice
Man is iron, rice is steel. "Rice" can also be seen as a kind of spiritual food for the team. But since Sarri accepted it, the team didn't seem to have planted a single grain of rice until they ran out of stock and Allegri returned.
Juve's iron-blooded spirit represents Mandzukic after being driven away, it is like a totem that has torn down the spirit of the team. Juventus had to pay for Sarri's stubbornness and for his own willfulness. The negative teaching material of beautiful football is undoubtedly the most suitable for Juventus. Before losing to Leon, Sarri's face was hideous, and the shot of his mouth saying "This is shame, this is shame" is vividly remembered. But for the fans, it is more like a helplessness, more like a kind of desolation.
It was only then that I truly believed that the spirit of Juventus had gradually disappeared. Sarri paid the price of his stubbornness, but Juve, who was cash-strapped due to the epidemic, started gambling again, and invited Pirlo, who did not even have work experience.
Some people say that Zhuge Liang did not fight any battles before he went out of the mountain. However, after Zhuge Liang came out of the mountain, at least Zhang Zhao and other fierce men would charge into the battlefield for him and improve the success rate of the plan. What's with Pirlo? Looking at the weak midfielder, I think Pirlo would like to call Vidal, Malquisio, Pogba, etc. to show you how Juventus' top European midfield configuration was galloping in the greenery.
Friends who have watched the Juventus promotional video know that Pirlo's tactical concept is not chaotic, and it is reasonable. It's just that he demands of the midfielder and no one in the team can do it. The high-paid players who are exempt from the lottery are either lying in hospital beds for a long time or playing four times. In exchange for Artur, it seems that there is nothing but a circle. Pirlo had no choice but to let Bentankur become the core, which was simply a copy of "there is no general in Shu, Liao Hua is the vanguard".
Finally squeezed into the Champions League zone, Pirlo also left class. It's not surprising that Pirlo's tactics may really require high-profile players, but the current Juventus can't give him more support. As a result, the return of Allegri, the master of watching the meal, became a natural thing.
Allegri loves Juve, and he did wait for Juventus for two years, refusing invitations from teams such as Real Madrid. As one of the originators of metaphysics, it seems that he has already calculated that the Zebra Army must have today. However, he did not calculate that Juve's spirit collapsed so quickly.
This season, Allegri has revealed more than once that the mental state of the team is a serious problem. Even De Ligt, a guy in his early 20s, complained angrily that some players always had problems with their mentality.
The reconstruction work has a long way to go
Ability is not good, at least can be diligent to make up for the clumsiness. You can't be a certain red book, at least you can still be a cat, a treasure. But you have average ability, and you still mess with the same life as the great uncle, and live like a sunset. Today's Juventus is like a large company with a declining business, and employees with backward business models have long lost their passion. If there is no timely drastic reconstruction and reorganization, it will be difficult to return to the former hegemony.
The epidemic is still continuing, which means that the team's income will still be very problematic. Before introducing new people, you must first sell people for money. But those who want to go can't stay, and those who want to sell can't go away. The departure of C Luo has long revealed a signal: this team has long been uncompetitive this season.
Therefore, even if the results are not as good as last season, Juventus still needs Allegri and gives Allegri the greatest say, otherwise the big guys will put Allegri at any time. At the beginning of the season, the non-draw with the weak teams was a loss, which announced the failure of the team's plan to rebound quickly. According to the current configuration of the team's personnel, especially the midfield, it is still necessary to simmer slowly on a small fire to boil out the aroma.
Allegri is the most suitable chef. In the Champions League, except for the four-goal defeat to Chelsea, the rest played quite well, and the group stage also successfully won the first qualifying of the group; in the league, from the beginning of the season to the many clean sheets before Christmas, at least from the result, the team is steadily advancing.
The representative figure is Bernardsky, the man who originally fascinated millions of Juventinas. From the Sarri era, Bernardsky began to lose himself gradually; Pirlo's era was even worse, so poor that he could only find the sense of presence in the fans' hearts through memes. Sometimes I wondered if he would ever play football. But in Allegri's hands, he ushered in a second metamorphosis, especially in December, not only delivering a few assists, but also finally scoring in the league.
From Bernardsky, it is enough to see Allegri's super ability to adjust. Perhaps it is precisely because of this that the team will choose to discuss a contract extension with him next month. The team also understands that the reconstruction of this Juventus team is not in a hurry.
summary
Thirty years of Hedong and thirty years of Hexi, feng shui takes turns. There is no such thing as a permanent championship, and it is normal for the team to have a low. It's just that losing is not terrible, what is terrible is losing the soul, losing the spirit, which is the most fatal. Pirlo's coaching ability is not a problem, but the ability to adjust the mentality of the players needs to be improved; Juve invited Allegri back, in order to stop the loss in time, and once again wanted to make a hundred dollars of dishes with ten dollars through him.
The team also received new financing, and the financial difficulties were gradually alleviated. I believe that over time, the team will return to where he should be. And all the fans can do is wait patiently.
