Message: [QUOTE="KryHavok, post: 5007920, member: 12905"] My two main teams are Juventus and AC Milan, taking both on after my father and uncles. I could not stand the way Juventus played under Allegri era 2. That Andrea Pirlo was dismissed after a good sesson for Allegri was nucking futs. So I'm glad Allegri got sacked. Motta really revived Bologna, and I hope he can sustain his success. Truth be told I'd rather see him stay at Bologna to keep them towards the top. As for Serie A being the #2 league in Europe, I'm happy for that, but the economics of it isn't sustainable. Hell, even Napoli's owner, Aurelio De Laurentiis, told Italian media recently that he wants the government to reduce the number of clubs in Serie A. It's garbage talk as I think 20 teams in the top flight is good. Monza are the most Italian club in terms of homegrown players, but they are sort of outliers compared to the top teams. My family's local Serie B squad that I also follow is basically all Italian. Once teams ascend, they seemingly lose home players. Somehow the analogous farm system in Italy isn't as robust as in Spain. Success is measured in Cups and international competition...before Atalanta yesterday, and the Euros in 2021, it was a long time since "foreign" clubs feared Italian teams. Much as I utterly hate Inter Milan, I wished they won last year's Champion's League. At least now they are rid of their broke Chinese owners. [/QUOTE]
